Female Reputation COLLAPSE!

Stefan Molyneux

Friday Night Live 9 May 2025  In this episode, I celebrate the return of my voice during our Friday Night Live session. I reflect on fostering connections, particularly in navigating marriage challenges, and critique the pharmaceutical industry's troubling trends in health outcomes.   I examine the impact of societal isolation on children's development, the importance of authenticity in relationships, and cultural shifts in women's roles. Engaging with listener comments, I address self-identity and neurodivergence while advocating for deeper, label-free connections. The episode wraps up with thoughts on personal growth and the value of authentic engagement as I recover my voice.

00:00:00I really promise you I was here on time.

00:00:02I was here early, but no, can't get anything to work.

00:00:05Why not?

00:00:06Because apparently I booted up some Windows computer

00:00:08where the microphone and video settings are off,

00:00:10and apparently that just transmogrified tentacle-like

00:00:13across to some other,

00:00:15so Windows had turned off my camera and microphone access,

00:00:19and that's why I hadn't touched this computer

00:00:22since our last live stream, so...

00:00:24Thanks, Windows!

00:00:26Stop helping!

00:00:27Stop helping.

00:00:29Stop trying to give me a consistently shitty experience.

00:00:32If I want that, I can turn on Netflix.

00:00:34All right.

00:00:37Hi, hi, everybody.

00:00:38Welcome to your Friday Night Live, baby!

00:00:41Yes, as you can hear,

00:00:42voice is back and increasingly robust.

00:00:46Robust.

00:00:47Not quite singing quality yet,

00:00:48but at least we can yowl and ramble a little bit more.

00:00:51So thank you for your patience.

00:00:52Sorry for being a little late.

00:00:56It's not my fault.

00:00:57It probably is my fault,

00:00:58but it's been a couple of months

00:01:00since Windows turned off my camera

00:01:03and microphone access without me asking it to,

00:01:05so I guess that's just how things have gone.

00:01:09Anyway, thank you for dropping by

00:01:11to your Friday night live.

00:01:14What have we got here?

00:01:15What is our date?

00:01:16Our date is the 9th of May, 2025.

00:01:22Look at that.

00:01:24I'm not quite as sharp a jaw

00:01:25as the guy playing Bruce Lee

00:01:27in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,

00:01:29but not that far either.

00:01:31At least I don't get thrown into a car door.

00:01:34Anyone kills anybody in a fight.

00:01:36They go to jail.

00:01:37It's called manslaughter.

00:01:38I like how Brad Pitt in that scene

00:01:40takes off his perfect hairpiece

00:01:42to reveal his perfect hair.

00:01:46Anyway.

00:01:47All right.

00:03:55I like this guy.

00:03:57MKUltraMoney on X wrote,

00:03:59telling the pregnant lady,

00:04:00I need her seat

00:04:01because I just did leg day.

00:04:02Uh, you know,

00:04:06it's funny because

00:04:07for, oh gosh,

00:04:10many a long moon,

00:04:11I mean,

00:04:1217 years plus,

00:04:14I've been talking about corruption

00:04:15in the pharmaceutical industry,

00:04:17corruption in socialist

00:04:18slash American style

00:04:21healthcare.

00:04:22I did, um,

00:04:23an interview with the guy

00:04:24who did me a great solid,

00:04:26um,

00:04:27Dr. Keith

00:04:28and, um,

00:04:29of the Oklahoma Surgery Center.

00:04:31So, uh,

00:04:32Dr. Mary Rewart,

00:04:33we talked about

00:04:34corruption

00:04:34in the FDA

00:04:36and I've been talking about this

00:04:38for donkey's years.

00:04:39RFK Jr.

00:04:41This is from Autism Capital on X.

00:04:4370, 70%,

00:04:4470% of the pharmaceutical products

00:04:46in the world

00:04:46are sold to our country.

00:04:48We have only 4.2%

00:04:49of the world's population.

00:04:50We are the sickest country

00:04:51in the world

00:04:52and pharmaceutical products

00:04:53are the number

00:04:53three cause of death

00:04:54after cancer

00:04:55and heart attacks.

00:04:58That is

00:04:58wild, man.

00:05:02I really do think

00:05:03that

00:05:05genuinely

00:05:06and

00:05:08deeply believe

00:05:11that

00:05:12if we knew the truth

00:05:15about the pharmaceutical system,

00:05:18I think

00:05:19heads would roll in the street.

00:05:20I really think,

00:05:21I mean,

00:05:21I don't approve of it

00:05:22or anything like that,

00:05:23but I'm just telling you

00:05:24that it would.

00:05:25The degree to which

00:05:26people are viewed

00:05:26as profitable livestock

00:05:28by people pushing

00:05:29endless meds

00:05:30is one of the most appalling

00:05:32things that ever

00:05:33has been done

00:05:33in human history.

00:05:34It really is

00:05:35just

00:05:36appalling.

00:05:39And

00:05:3997%,

00:05:42it's funny,

00:05:4397% of scientists

00:05:44agree with whoever

00:05:45is funding them.

00:05:45The other 3%

00:05:46are banned

00:05:47from social media.

00:05:49Yeah.

00:05:49But here's the funny thing

00:05:52about pharmaceuticals

00:05:53and

00:05:54obviously

00:05:54the last thing

00:05:56you'd ever want to do

00:05:57is take any kind

00:05:57of medical advice

00:05:58from a guy

00:05:59who does moral philosophy.

00:06:00So

00:06:00this is more about

00:06:01the morality of it

00:06:02and none of this

00:06:03should ever be construed

00:06:04as any kind

00:06:05of advice

00:06:06on medicine

00:06:07or your health.

00:06:08But

00:06:09I thought about this

00:06:11in terms of psychotropics,

00:06:13right,

00:06:14the SSRIs.

00:06:15And

00:06:16certainly there is

00:06:19the supply side

00:06:20of things

00:06:21that should not be

00:06:22ignored.

00:06:23It's very,

00:06:24very important.

00:06:25But

00:06:25I also think about

00:06:27the demand

00:06:29side of things,

00:06:31right?

00:06:32You're unhappy

00:06:33and

00:06:35you go to the doctor

00:06:37and the doctor

00:06:37sends you to a psychiatrist

00:06:38and the psychiatrist

00:06:39says,

00:06:40oh,

00:06:40you have a brain

00:06:40chemistry imbalance.

00:06:42It's like

00:06:42diabetes and insulin

00:06:44and you just got to

00:06:44take this to

00:06:45blah,

00:06:46blah,

00:06:46blah.

00:06:47There is the supply

00:06:51side,

00:06:52but,

00:06:53but,

00:06:54there's also

00:06:55the demand

00:06:55side.

00:07:02How many people

00:07:03would

00:07:06rather

00:07:07take a face

00:07:08full of pills

00:07:09rather do that

00:07:12than bring

00:07:13moral clarity

00:07:14to their

00:07:15relationships?

00:07:20That is a

00:07:21different thing.

00:07:23That is a

00:07:24very,

00:07:25very different

00:07:25thing.

00:07:25how many people

00:07:29would rather

00:07:30deal with

00:07:32the psychological

00:07:34issues

00:07:34of stress,

00:07:36meaningless,

00:07:37and lack of

00:07:37relationships,

00:07:38lack of

00:07:39relatedness?

00:07:40How many people

00:07:41would rather deal

00:07:42with the trauma

00:07:44and isolation

00:07:45and loneliness

00:07:46that is at the

00:07:47base of their

00:07:48overeating

00:07:49or their

00:07:49under-eating?

00:07:50Or would they

00:07:51rather just

00:07:52take

00:07:53Ozempic?

00:07:55How many people

00:07:56just want to

00:07:56put themselves

00:07:57into these

00:07:58slithery,

00:07:59blood-soaked

00:08:00squid hands

00:08:01of certain

00:08:01doctors and

00:08:02just take

00:08:02pill after

00:08:03pill after

00:08:03pill,

00:08:04rather than

00:08:05get to the

00:08:05root of

00:08:06why they're

00:08:08unhappy

00:08:08and why

00:08:09they are

00:08:10unwell?

00:08:14Oof.

00:08:15I do

00:08:20think

00:08:20there is

00:08:21the supply

00:08:22side.

00:08:23There is

00:08:24the supply

00:08:24side.

00:08:25With

00:08:25certain

00:08:25exceptions,

00:08:26of course,

00:08:27who is

00:08:28forcing

00:08:28people

00:08:29to take

00:08:30these

00:08:30pills?

00:08:36Well,

00:08:37no one

00:08:37really,

00:08:38but it's

00:08:39easier.

00:08:41It's

00:08:42easier.

00:08:43to think

00:08:46that you

00:08:49just need

00:08:49to take

00:08:49some

00:08:50pills,

00:08:50that it

00:08:50is a

00:08:51merely

00:08:51physical

00:08:52issue

00:08:52rather than

00:08:53a

00:08:53conscience,

00:08:54moral,

00:08:55psychological,

00:08:56spiritual,

00:08:57meaning,

00:08:58meaning

00:08:59issue.

00:09:01God,

00:09:02give me

00:09:02a pill.

00:09:03Do not

00:09:04make me

00:09:04look in

00:09:05the black

00:09:05mirror of

00:09:06my choices

00:09:07and the

00:09:08moral choices

00:09:09of those

00:09:09around me.

00:09:10follow the

00:09:12yellow brick

00:09:13road off

00:09:14the cliff

00:09:14of endless

00:09:16pills rather

00:09:17than look

00:09:19in the

00:09:19mirror and

00:09:19say,

00:09:20what are

00:09:21the morals

00:09:22and virtues

00:09:23and vices

00:09:24and temptations

00:09:25and corruptions

00:09:26and compromises

00:09:27of my life?

00:09:30Anything

00:09:31but that.

00:09:31it's like

00:09:35alcoholics.

00:09:36How many

00:09:36alcoholics,

00:09:38you know,

00:09:39alcohol use

00:09:39is down

00:09:40with the

00:09:40younger

00:09:40generation,

00:09:41but I think

00:09:42that's partly

00:09:42because you

00:09:43can't game

00:09:43too well

00:09:44when you're

00:09:44drunk,

00:09:45and they're

00:09:46just not

00:09:47getting together

00:09:47face-to-face

00:09:48nearly as much

00:09:49anymore.

00:09:49Kind of

00:09:49COVID scotched

00:09:51that one

00:09:51pretty bad,

00:09:51and I don't

00:09:52know that

00:09:52it's ever

00:09:52coming back.

00:09:53It's like

00:09:53the birth

00:09:53rate.

00:09:54Once it

00:09:54goes down

00:09:54below a

00:09:55certain

00:09:55threshold,

00:09:56it seems

00:09:56almost impossible

00:09:57to restore.

00:09:58people have

00:10:00got out

00:10:01of the

00:10:01habit

00:10:01of

00:10:03socializing.

00:10:06Now,

00:10:06of course,

00:10:06a lot

00:10:07of alcohol

00:10:08consumption

00:10:09was driven

00:10:10by socializing,

00:10:11and a lot

00:10:11of that

00:10:12was because,

00:10:12well,

00:10:12two reasons.

00:10:13One,

00:10:14you want

00:10:14to blind

00:10:14yourself

00:10:15to how

00:10:15boring

00:10:15and NPC

00:10:16like your

00:10:17friends are,

00:10:17and maybe

00:10:17you are,

00:10:18and number

00:10:18two,

00:10:19a lot

00:10:19of alcohol

00:10:19is consumed

00:10:20to overcome

00:10:23social anxiety.

00:10:25It's a

00:10:26disinhibitor.

00:10:27If you feel

00:10:27tense,

00:10:28awkward,

00:10:28just drink,

00:10:29drink,

00:10:29and become

00:10:30the funny

00:10:30guy with

00:10:31the lampshade

00:10:31on his head,

00:10:32right?

00:10:36So,

00:10:37why do you

00:10:40drink?

00:10:41Why do you

00:10:41drink?

00:10:43Why do

00:10:44people drink?

00:10:45Because

00:10:46they're bored,

00:10:48because they're

00:10:48isolated,

00:10:49because they're

00:10:50anxious,

00:10:51because most

00:10:53people are

00:10:53quite dull.

00:10:55They just

00:10:55copy-paste

00:10:56whatever slogans

00:10:56happen to have

00:10:57passed through

00:10:58the shimmer

00:10:59scrolling text

00:11:00of whatever

00:11:01they looked

00:11:01at that

00:11:01day.

00:11:08But people

00:11:09don't want

00:11:10to look,

00:11:10and listen,

00:11:11I,

00:11:12hey,

00:11:12I'm not,

00:11:13I'm not

00:11:17above this,

00:11:18I'm not

00:11:19lecturing from

00:11:20some guru-like

00:11:21space of

00:11:22personal

00:11:23perfection,

00:11:23far from it,

00:11:24far from it.

00:11:28The one thing,

00:11:29so when I had

00:11:30my 16 months

00:11:31of insomnia,

00:11:32I would not

00:11:33take sleeping

00:11:34pills.

00:11:35That I would

00:11:35not do.

00:11:40That I would

00:11:41not do.

00:11:41and I

00:11:44didn't know

00:11:44how deep

00:11:45the corruption

00:11:46was running

00:11:47in my life.

00:11:48I didn't

00:11:48get it.

00:11:50I didn't

00:11:50get it.

00:11:52And it took

00:11:52a long time

00:11:53to get it.

00:11:55To go from

00:11:56theory,

00:11:58words,

00:11:58to actual

00:11:58deeds in the

00:11:59realm of

00:11:59philosophy is

00:12:00deeply shocking

00:12:01to the system

00:12:02of the

00:12:02conscience.

00:12:03The soul

00:12:04revolts.

00:12:05Well,

00:12:05maybe the soul

00:12:06celebrates,

00:12:07but every other

00:12:07part of you

00:12:08revolts at

00:12:10taking the

00:12:11theory

00:12:11and putting

00:12:15it into

00:12:16practice.

00:12:18That's a

00:12:19hoofprint to

00:12:20the forehead,

00:12:20I'll tell you,

00:12:21repeatedly.

00:12:22Repeatedly.

00:12:26I was

00:12:26saying,

00:12:27alcohol use

00:12:27is down,

00:12:28but weed use

00:12:29is up.

00:12:32I don't know,

00:12:33you've got to be

00:12:33insane to take

00:12:34weed these days,

00:12:34like you just,

00:12:35that's like

00:12:36deer hunter style

00:12:37Russian roulette.

00:12:44All right.

00:12:48Yeah,

00:12:49it's funny

00:12:49because I saw

00:12:50a comment

00:12:50the other day

00:12:51about me.

00:12:54Little old me.

00:12:55And the comment

00:12:56was,

00:12:56oh yeah,

00:12:57that's the guy

00:12:57who told

00:12:58everyone

00:12:59to detach

00:13:01from their

00:13:01families

00:13:02if they

00:13:02disagreed

00:13:03about taxation.

00:13:07Ah,

00:13:08the straw man

00:13:09of infinity,

00:13:09how sad

00:13:10and tragic

00:13:10it is.

00:13:12Ah,

00:13:12I'm just

00:13:12going to

00:13:13create some

00:13:13ridiculous

00:13:14caricature

00:13:15of your

00:13:15argument.

00:13:17And then,

00:13:18look,

00:13:19I'm super

00:13:19smart.

00:13:22Yeah,

00:13:23like Einstein,

00:13:24the guy who

00:13:24said everything

00:13:25is relative

00:13:25and there's

00:13:26no such

00:13:26thing as

00:13:26time.

00:13:28Big brain.

00:13:29Oh,

00:13:30it's sad,

00:13:31man.

00:13:31It must

00:13:32be the

00:13:32saddest

00:13:32thing in

00:13:32the world

00:13:33to straw

00:13:34man somebody

00:13:35else's

00:13:35argument

00:13:36and then

00:13:37reject it

00:13:37and feel

00:13:38full smart.

00:13:41Full smart.

00:13:43Full smart.

00:13:47Yeah.

00:13:48Yeah,

00:13:48so,

00:13:48I mean,

00:13:49it's,

00:13:49to me,

00:13:49it's a kind

00:13:50of devilish

00:13:50thing.

00:13:51And,

00:13:51you know,

00:13:51there are

00:13:51legitimate

00:13:52pharmaceuticals,

00:13:53of course,

00:13:53right?

00:13:53Antibiotics are

00:13:54pretty good,

00:13:54in my humble

00:13:55opinion,

00:13:55but,

00:13:57you know,

00:13:57people,

00:13:59they love

00:14:00to run

00:14:00to the

00:14:00pill pushers

00:14:01so they

00:14:03don't have

00:14:03to deal

00:14:04with the

00:14:04corruption

00:14:05in their

00:14:05life.

00:14:08I mean,

00:14:08I,

00:14:08I raw

00:14:09dogged

00:14:10insomnia

00:14:10for 16

00:14:11months

00:14:11before I

00:14:12got it,

00:14:12before I

00:14:13figured it

00:14:13out,

00:14:14before I

00:14:15got it.

00:14:17I wouldn't

00:14:18go to

00:14:18pills,

00:14:19wouldn't

00:14:19go to

00:14:19drugs,

00:14:21wouldn't

00:14:21go to

00:14:21alcohol,

00:14:23even though

00:14:24sometimes when

00:14:25I couldn't

00:14:25sleep,

00:14:26I would,

00:14:26I lived

00:14:27not too

00:14:27far from

00:14:27a pretty

00:14:28raucous

00:14:28disco bar

00:14:30in Toronto

00:14:31called My

00:14:31Apartment.

00:14:32I don't

00:14:32know,

00:14:33is it still

00:14:33running?

00:14:33If anyone

00:14:34can check

00:14:34My

00:14:34Apartment,

00:14:35it was

00:14:35called.

00:14:35I still

00:14:36remember

00:14:36there was

00:14:36this really

00:14:37shapely

00:14:38woman there

00:14:39who sold

00:14:40shots,

00:14:41and she

00:14:41must have

00:14:41like no

00:14:42hearing left

00:14:42at this

00:14:43point.

00:14:44But I

00:14:44remember I

00:14:45would go,

00:14:46I'd put on

00:14:47some fancy

00:14:48duds,

00:14:49and I would

00:14:49go down to

00:14:50the bar

00:14:51called My

00:14:51Apartment,

00:14:52and I'd

00:14:53chat with

00:14:53people,

00:14:54I'd dance

00:14:54with people,

00:14:54I'd dance

00:14:55on my

00:14:55own for

00:14:56a couple

00:14:56of hours.

00:14:57Ah,

00:14:57it was

00:14:57great.

00:14:58Ooh,

00:14:58I love

00:14:58doing that

00:14:59deep-hipped

00:15:01Harlem

00:15:01shuffle,

00:15:01moonwalking

00:15:02stuff.

00:15:03Bro had

00:15:04some moves

00:15:04back in

00:15:05the day,

00:15:05I'll tell

00:15:05you that.

00:15:06Bro had

00:15:07some moves

00:15:07back in

00:15:08the day.

00:15:09But I,

00:15:11yeah,

00:15:14I raw

00:15:14docked it,

00:15:15and then I

00:15:16was in

00:15:16therapy,

00:15:17and yeah,

00:15:18it took a

00:15:19long time,

00:15:19took a long

00:15:20time to really

00:15:20get it.

00:15:21In hindsight,

00:15:22blindingly

00:15:22obvious,

00:15:23this is one

00:15:24of the

00:15:24reasons why

00:15:25I try to

00:15:25put out

00:15:26so much

00:15:26wisdom as

00:15:29best I

00:15:29can in

00:15:29this show,

00:15:30is anyone

00:15:31I can help

00:15:31hit the gas

00:15:32on or

00:15:32accelerate

00:15:33them,

00:15:34because it

00:15:34was brutal

00:15:35for me,

00:15:35man.

00:15:36There was

00:15:37nobody and

00:15:38nothing to

00:15:38help me,

00:15:39at least that

00:15:39I knew of,

00:15:40and I pretty

00:15:41extensively read

00:15:41in the realm

00:15:42of philosophy

00:15:42this was,

00:15:43yeah,

00:15:44this was after

00:15:44my masters,

00:15:45to see how

00:15:46this is when I

00:15:46was working.

00:15:47I was a

00:15:47business guy.

00:15:48man.

00:15:53I remember

00:15:53sometimes I'd

00:15:55play Quake 2,

00:15:58sometimes I had

00:16:00a little CD

00:16:00player,

00:16:01portable CD

00:16:01player,

00:16:02which is wild

00:16:02when you think

00:16:03about it,

00:16:03how delicate

00:16:04that laser

00:16:04was,

00:16:05and there

00:16:06was a couple

00:16:06of albums

00:16:24pretty good

00:16:25version of

00:16:25that,

00:16:25it was kind

00:16:26of heartbreaking

00:16:26for me at

00:16:27the time,

00:16:28but yeah,

00:16:28I'd listen to

00:18:16if you value

00:18:17human life

00:18:17and morality,

00:18:18thanks Steph,

00:18:20yeah,

00:18:20The Future is

00:18:21really trippy,

00:18:22really trippy,

00:18:23and it's one

00:18:25of my favorite

00:18:25books,

00:18:25one of my

00:18:27favorite books,

00:18:29I was just

00:18:29working today

00:18:30on the new

00:18:30novel,

00:18:32oh,

00:18:32what have I

00:18:33got here,

00:18:35no,

00:18:38it's not

00:18:38pinned,

00:18:39all right,

00:18:39hang on,

00:18:40what have I

00:18:41got here,

00:18:42no borderline,

00:18:47what have we

00:18:48got,

00:18:49alt T W,

00:18:50I know that

00:18:50from back

00:18:52in the day,

00:18:53I used to

00:18:53measure the

00:18:55words writing,

00:18:57not bad,

00:18:57I've done

00:18:5812,374 words,

00:19:0326 pages,

00:19:05not bad,

00:19:07not bad,

00:19:07probably 10%

00:19:08done,

00:19:09all right,

00:19:12here's something

00:19:13else,

00:19:1377% of

00:19:16bachelor's degrees

00:19:16have a positive

00:19:17return on

00:19:18investment,

00:19:18while only 57%

00:19:20of master's

00:19:20degrees do

00:19:21according to

00:19:21a 2024

00:19:22paper,

00:19:23the prestige

00:19:24of a school

00:19:25has a lot to

00:19:25do with ROI,

00:19:26for example,

00:19:27an English BA

00:19:27from a high-ranked

00:19:28university of

00:19:28Michigan has

00:19:29581,925 ROI,

00:19:33while English

00:19:34degree holders at

00:19:35Virginia Commonwealth

00:19:36University have a

00:19:36negative median ROI,

00:19:37and of course

00:19:39the type of

00:19:39degree matters

00:19:40too,

00:19:41especially for

00:19:41those not

00:19:41graduating from

00:19:42most selective

00:19:42schools,

00:19:44degrees in

00:19:44nursing and

00:19:45engineering,

00:19:45for example,

00:19:45have high median

00:19:46ROIs,

00:19:47those in

00:19:47biology and

00:19:48finance have

00:19:48much lower

00:19:49ones,

00:19:50I don't know

00:19:52if this takes

00:19:53into account

00:19:53lost earnings,

00:19:56yeah,

00:20:00I don't think

00:20:00it does,

00:20:01I think the

00:20:01ROI is,

00:20:03well,

00:20:03you spent this

00:20:03much on your

00:20:04education,

00:20:04it generates this

00:20:05much,

00:20:05but if

00:20:07you had

00:20:07four extra

00:20:08years in

00:20:08the workforce,

00:20:09what would

00:20:09that do to

00:20:10your income

00:20:10as a whole?

00:20:11I don't know

00:20:11that it's a

00:20:11full return

00:20:13on investment

00:20:13stuff.

00:20:20Somebody says,

00:20:21once again,

00:20:22bad assumptions

00:20:22in apples to

00:20:23oranges,

00:20:23this ROI

00:20:23ignores time

00:20:24in half of

00:20:25the equation.

00:20:25The question

00:20:26is,

00:20:26if you,

00:20:27society,

00:20:28your parents,

00:20:28have $200,000

00:20:29to invest,

00:20:30would you

00:20:30be better

00:20:30off sticking

00:20:31it into

00:20:31the S&P

00:20:32500 or

00:20:33going to

00:20:33college?

00:20:34And the

00:20:34SAP

00:20:35nearly always

00:20:36wins in

00:20:37the end.

00:20:41Yeah,

00:20:41they're just

00:20:41doing minus

00:20:42college costs,

00:20:43not an

00:20:43additional four

00:20:44years in the

00:20:44workplace,

00:20:44which follows

00:20:45you all

00:20:46the way

00:20:46up.

00:20:54Yeah,

00:20:54it's wonderful

00:20:55to bring all

00:20:55the immigrants

00:20:56in to do

00:20:56work when

00:20:56the work

00:20:57is about

00:20:57to be done

00:20:57by AI

00:20:58and robots.

00:20:59Excellent.

00:21:02Excellent.

00:21:03I love

00:21:06what Elon

00:21:06Musk said

00:21:07as a whole

00:21:08where he

00:21:09said,

00:21:09in the past

00:21:09it used

00:21:10to be

00:21:10strength,

00:21:11that was

00:21:11the victor,

00:21:12now it's

00:21:12weakness,

00:21:13but morality

00:21:14needs to be

00:21:14universal and

00:21:15objective.

00:21:17UBB,

00:21:18Elon Musk,

00:21:19UBB.

00:21:20I saw

00:21:21this just

00:21:22before I

00:21:22sat down

00:21:22to write

00:21:23today.

00:21:24Rat Limit

00:21:25wrote,

00:21:25one cool

00:21:25thing about

00:21:26writing is

00:21:26how every

00:21:27second of

00:21:27it is

00:21:28miserable,

00:21:28unless you

00:21:29suck at it.

00:21:30I wouldn't

00:21:30say that

00:21:31every second

00:21:31of it is

00:21:32miserable,

00:21:32but it

00:21:33really does

00:21:33feel like

00:21:34throwing yourself

00:21:35out of a

00:21:35plane and

00:21:36trying to

00:21:36grab a

00:21:36parachute

00:21:37halfway

00:21:37down.

00:21:37Somebody

00:21:42wrote,

00:21:43somebody on

00:21:43here recently

00:21:44said,

00:21:44I haven't

00:21:44lost friends

00:21:45over politics,

00:21:46I've lost

00:21:46friends over

00:21:47morals,

00:21:47and I can't

00:21:48stop thinking

00:21:48about it.

00:21:49People think

00:21:49politics is a

00:21:50separate superhuman

00:21:51thing, but it's

00:21:52your morals in

00:21:53action.

00:21:54Yeah, and this

00:21:54is why, you

00:21:55know, oh, if

00:21:55we disagree with

00:21:56you on taxation

00:21:57break, it's

00:21:57like people

00:21:58cannot love

00:21:58you and

00:22:00also want

00:22:01you thrown

00:22:01into rape

00:22:02rooms for

00:22:03disagreeing

00:22:03with them.

00:22:05Right?

00:22:06My position

00:22:07as has been

00:22:08the case

00:22:08for decades,

00:22:10my position

00:22:11is ridiculously

00:22:12simple, which

00:22:14is if you

00:22:16think that

00:22:17Donald Trump

00:22:19or Joe

00:22:20Biden or

00:22:21Barack Obama

00:22:21or whoever,

00:22:24right, if you

00:22:25think those

00:22:26people just do

00:22:27the very best

00:22:28stuff with

00:22:28resources, send

00:22:30them money.

00:22:31Just write a

00:22:32check, send

00:22:32the money, make

00:22:32it out to

00:22:33Barack Obama,

00:22:34you can do

00:22:34all this

00:22:34wonderful

00:22:34stuff.

00:22:35I would

00:22:35never dream

00:22:37I would

00:22:37never dream

00:22:38of using

00:22:40force to

00:22:42prevent you

00:22:42from funding

00:22:43whoever you

00:22:43wanted, unless

00:22:44it was a

00:22:44hitman, right?

00:22:45You know, I

00:22:46would never

00:22:47dream of

00:22:47it.

00:22:51However, if

00:22:52I am of,

00:22:53say, the

00:22:53opinion that

00:22:55Barack Obama

00:22:56is not the

00:22:59savior of the

00:23:00universe who

00:23:00can do all

00:23:01kinds of good

00:23:01with infinite

00:23:01resources, and

00:23:03I don't want

00:23:03to send money

00:23:04to him, am

00:23:05I allowed to

00:23:05disagree with

00:23:06you?

00:23:06I'm allowed

00:23:06to have

00:23:08my own

00:23:08thoughts and

00:23:09opinions with

00:23:09regards to

00:23:10virtue and

00:23:10ethics, and

00:23:10if that's not

00:23:11the case, if

00:23:12you say, well,

00:23:13I say, listen,

00:23:13man, I'd never

00:23:14want you thrown

00:23:14in prison for

00:23:15funding this

00:23:16guy, and you

00:23:16say, well, I

00:23:17want you thrown

00:23:17in prison for

00:23:18not funding

00:23:18this guy, well,

00:23:19then you don't

00:23:19love me, because

00:23:20you want to

00:23:20force me to do

00:23:21something.

00:23:22Like, we

00:23:22understand that

00:23:23when you force

00:23:24people, you

00:23:24don't love

00:23:25them.

00:23:27No goddamn

00:23:28person in the

00:23:28sane universe

00:23:29says, oh, the

00:23:30rapist, like, this

00:23:32would be an insane

00:23:33thing to say, the

00:23:34rapist doth

00:23:36loveth his

00:23:36victim.

00:23:37Of course he

00:23:37doesn't.

00:23:39It's a monster.

00:23:39It's forcing her.

00:23:41Or the thief

00:23:42loves the property

00:23:42owner he's

00:23:43stealing from, and

00:23:44the guy who

00:23:44murders, yes, by

00:23:46this logic, well, he

00:23:47just must love the

00:23:49person he's killing.

00:23:50No, we don't

00:23:51initiate the use of

00:23:52force against people

00:23:53and then claim we

00:23:54love them.

00:23:55We don't do it!

00:23:56So fuck off with

00:24:00your initiation of

00:24:01force and claiming

00:24:02you love me.

00:24:03Bullshit!

00:24:05Absolute bullshit!

00:24:07Don't wave a gun

00:24:09in my face and

00:24:10claim you love me.

00:24:12No thank you.

00:24:19I saw the legend

00:24:21Gordon Lightfoot

00:24:21three times.

00:24:22Was he native?

00:24:23Lightfoot?

00:24:23Sun down, you

00:24:26better take care.

00:24:27He's a good

00:24:28singer.

00:24:29All right.

00:24:40Yeah, Douglas

00:24:41Adams explained the

00:24:42secret to writing is

00:24:43to stare at a blank

00:24:44piece of paper until

00:24:44you start sweating

00:24:45blood from your

00:24:46forehead.

00:24:47Yeah, he had

00:24:47considerable wider

00:24:48writer's block.

00:24:49It's really tough

00:24:50with comedy because

00:24:50you can't imagine

00:24:51it's going to work.

00:24:52Like when my

00:24:52brother and I,

00:24:53sorry, my

00:24:53brother, my

00:24:54daughter and I

00:24:54for, gosh, about

00:24:56six or seven

00:24:58years engaged in

00:24:59this epic

00:25:00Lord of the Rings

00:25:02style role-playing

00:25:03adventure with all

00:25:05kinds of characters

00:25:06and locations and

00:25:07she fought demons

00:25:09and dragons, she

00:25:09befriended vampires,

00:25:11she ran for office

00:25:11as a mayor.

00:25:12We just, we did so

00:25:13much in that game.

00:25:14Every time we sat

00:25:15down to do it,

00:25:16it's like, this

00:25:16can't possibly work.

00:25:17And then every time

00:25:18it would just turn

00:25:18into this absolute

00:25:19blast and would

00:25:20work really well.

00:25:20So, it does feel

00:25:30like it's never

00:25:30going to work and

00:25:31creative writing is

00:25:32like that as well.

00:25:33And of course, for a

00:25:34lot of people, it

00:25:34stops working, right?

00:25:35So, in 2014, there

00:25:43was a Princeton

00:25:43study by

00:25:44Gillens and

00:25:45Page, published

00:25:47in Perspectives on

00:25:48Politics, which

00:25:49analyzed 20 years of

00:25:51U.S. policy data

00:25:52and found the

00:25:54public opinion

00:25:55has a near-zero

00:25:57statistical impact on

00:25:59laws, while elite and

00:26:00business interests

00:26:00dominate policy

00:26:02making.

00:26:02They found that

00:26:05the number of

00:26:05Americans for or

00:26:06against any idea

00:26:07has no impact on

00:26:08the likelihood that

00:26:09Congress will make

00:26:09it law.

00:26:10Quote, the

00:26:11preferences of the

00:26:12average American

00:26:12appear to have only

00:26:14a minuscule, near-zero,

00:26:15statistically non-significant

00:26:16impact upon public

00:26:18policy.

00:26:19And of course, you

00:26:21can, you can look

00:26:23at my epic rant

00:26:25from many years ago

00:26:26called The Truth

00:26:27About Voting.

00:26:29I view Trump as a

00:26:31different...

00:26:32animal and a

00:26:35different issue.

00:26:36So, Trump is

00:26:37outside of that.

00:26:39Oh, thank you,

00:26:40Pablo,

00:26:40free-domain.com

00:26:41slash donate if you

00:26:42guys could help out.

00:26:42I really, really would

00:26:44appreciate it.

00:26:45I really, really would.

00:26:46I was, you know,

00:26:47real knocked out for

00:26:48the last two months

00:26:50with health issues.

00:26:51I seem to be on the

00:26:52mend, but...

00:26:52I appreciate your

00:26:56patience as I return

00:26:57from the depths of

00:26:59mumbleness that was

00:27:02going on.

00:27:05So, yeah,

00:27:08was it

00:27:08The Myth of the Rational

00:27:10Voter?

00:27:12Anyway, I interviewed

00:27:13the guy, but

00:27:13it's interesting.

00:27:19All right.

00:27:21Somebody says...

00:27:23Somebody...

00:27:24Stop me!

00:27:24In a recent

00:27:25call-in show,

00:27:26you identified

00:27:26workaholism as

00:27:28I have no value

00:27:28except for

00:27:30the utility I

00:27:32provide.

00:27:33This belief is at

00:27:34the core of my

00:27:34existence.

00:27:35How does one

00:27:36move past it?

00:27:41How does one

00:27:42move past it?

00:27:43Oh, thank you for

00:27:44your wishes.

00:27:44I'm glad to be

00:27:45better, too.

00:27:46It's still a bit

00:27:47variable, but it's

00:27:48definitely better.

00:27:48All right.

00:27:49And it's funny,

00:27:50too, you know,

00:27:50because, I mean,

00:27:50I do take such

00:27:51good care of my

00:27:52health.

00:27:52The fact that I

00:27:53got this random

00:27:53ear thing was just

00:27:55some bad luck,

00:27:56man.

00:27:57All right.

00:27:58I have no value

00:27:59except for the

00:28:00utility I provide.

00:28:01Well, you have to

00:28:04look back at how

00:28:04you were parented.

00:28:09You have to look

00:28:10back at how you

00:28:10were parented.

00:28:12Did your parents...

00:28:13And, you know,

00:28:13hit me with a Y or

00:28:14an N regarding

00:28:15this as a whole...

00:28:19So, did you

00:28:26have parents who

00:28:28took pleasure in

00:28:29your existence

00:28:30without you having

00:28:31to, Robin Williams

00:28:33style, perform?

00:28:35Did you have

00:28:36parents who took

00:28:36pleasure in your

00:28:37existence without

00:28:39you having to

00:28:40perform, without you

00:28:40having to do chores

00:28:41or please them or

00:28:43be funny or be

00:28:44cute or raise their

00:28:45social status or

00:28:46make them look good

00:28:47or make them proud

00:28:48or something like

00:28:49that?

00:28:49Did you have

00:28:50parents who took

00:28:52pleasure in your

00:28:53existence without

00:28:54you having to

00:28:56provide anything

00:28:57other than your

00:28:59true, authentic,

00:29:01natural self?

00:29:09And what have we

00:29:10got?

00:29:10No, no, no, no,

00:29:12no, no, no, yes,

00:29:14good, no, big N,

00:29:15no, no, no, right.

00:29:19I'm sorry.

00:29:20It's a no for me

00:29:21as well.

00:29:22I'm really sorry

00:29:23about that.

00:29:24That's very sad.

00:29:27Very sad.

00:29:31Okay, so...

00:29:33If you had

00:29:37people...

00:29:38Oh, yeah, sorry,

00:29:40thanks, James.

00:30:22many years,

00:30:23including

00:30:23in The Truth

00:30:25About Robin

00:30:26Williams, that I

00:33:03phrase

00:33:04it in

00:33:04a way,

00:33:04isn't it?

00:33:09It's

00:33:09hard to

00:33:09even know

00:33:10how to

00:33:10phrase it

00:33:11without

00:33:11it sounding

00:33:13too

00:33:13abstract,

00:33:14if that

00:33:15makes

00:33:16sense.

00:33:19self

00:33:20and will

00:33:23people

00:33:23care?

00:33:25I mean,

00:33:25the big

00:33:25challenge is,

00:33:27let's say

00:33:27you're just

00:33:29down,

00:33:30you're just

00:33:31down.

00:33:37Can you

00:33:37just be

00:33:38down and

00:33:38have people

00:33:38care?

00:33:39sick is

00:33:42different from

00:33:43down.

00:33:45Can you

00:33:45just be

00:33:45down and

00:33:46will people

00:33:46care?

00:33:47Can you

00:33:47have the

00:33:47normal

00:33:48flux and

00:33:48spread of

00:33:48human

00:33:49emotion

00:33:49and have

00:33:50people be

00:33:50there for

00:33:51you and

00:33:51just

00:33:51care?

00:34:01The value

00:34:02that we

00:34:02perceive in

00:34:03ourselves is

00:34:04founded upon

00:34:04the value

00:34:05our parents

00:34:06perceive in

00:34:08us.

00:34:09I mean,

00:34:18when I

00:34:18was in

00:34:18grade 8,

00:34:19I did a

00:34:19grade 13

00:34:19writing

00:34:20course.

00:34:20My mother

00:34:20bragged about

00:34:21that.

00:34:22When I

00:34:22was in

00:34:22grade 8,

00:34:23I did an

00:34:23adult

00:34:24computer

00:34:24science

00:34:24course about

00:34:25reading and

00:34:25writing

00:34:26sectors on

00:34:27five and

00:34:28quarter inch

00:34:28floppy disks

00:34:29through a

00:34:29pet computer

00:34:30and I

00:34:31remember I

00:34:31got so

00:34:32bored in

00:34:32it, I

00:34:32was working

00:34:33on a

00:34:33game and

00:34:34the teacher

00:34:35accused me of

00:34:36playing games

00:34:37and wouldn't

00:34:37believe that I

00:34:39wrote the

00:34:39game until I

00:34:40did a control

00:34:41break and

00:34:41showed the

00:34:42code and

00:34:42stepped in

00:34:42through the

00:34:42code.

00:34:43And my

00:34:49mother was

00:34:49very, very

00:34:50braggy about

00:34:51that.

00:34:53I never

00:34:54completed the

00:34:54course because

00:34:55I didn't care

00:34:55about writing,

00:34:56reading and

00:34:57writing disk

00:34:57sectors on a

00:34:58pet five and

00:34:59a quarter inch

00:34:59360k floppy,

00:35:01didn't care about

00:35:01it at all.

00:35:03I eventually had

00:35:03to tell my

00:35:04mother that I

00:35:04did not

00:35:05complete the

00:35:05course.

00:35:05my son is

00:35:06taking adult

00:35:07computer science

00:35:07classes and

00:35:08my son is

00:35:09taking adult

00:35:09or almost

00:35:10adult writing

00:35:11classes.

00:35:13I remember

00:35:14I don't blame

00:35:17the guy, it was

00:35:17actually kind of

00:35:18funny, but I

00:35:19remember I wrote

00:35:19a poem about

00:35:20space and

00:35:22after I finished

00:35:23it there was a

00:35:23long pause and

00:35:24then one of the

00:35:2518 year olds

00:35:26whistled the

00:35:28theme from

00:35:28Star Trek or

00:35:31something like

00:35:32that, right?

00:35:33It did diminish

00:35:34a little bit of

00:35:34the power of the

00:35:35poem, but it

00:35:36was actually kind

00:35:37of funny.

00:35:38It did kind

00:35:39of funny.

00:35:40Oh, things that

00:35:41would have just

00:35:41gone over the

00:35:42cascade of time

00:35:43with no memory

00:35:44or recollection

00:35:44or imprint, but

00:35:45now it's burned

00:35:46into these

00:35:47electrons forever

00:35:49and ever.

00:35:49Amen.

00:35:54Can you just

00:35:55be yourself and

00:35:56be enough?

00:36:01Can you just

00:36:02be yourself and

00:36:04be enough?

00:36:05somebody says,

00:36:09that is hard.

00:36:10I'd say almost

00:36:10impossible for me.

00:36:12Wouldn't the

00:36:12reason people

00:36:12would like me

00:36:13is because I

00:36:15bring value and

00:36:15have virtues they

00:36:16like?

00:36:17No, no, no.

00:36:19Not because you

00:36:20bring value, but

00:36:23because your

00:36:23natural self is

00:36:24valuable.

00:36:28You know, I've

00:36:29said this before,

00:36:29I'm sure I'll say

00:36:30it again.

00:36:30I don't want my

00:36:32wife to change

00:36:33anything about

00:36:33her, not one

00:36:34thing about

00:36:36her.

00:36:36She is perfect

00:36:37the way she

00:36:38is.

00:36:41Funny, buoyant,

00:36:43enthusiastic,

00:36:44affectionate,

00:36:45thoughtful, wise,

00:36:47just incredible.

00:36:48I don't want it

00:36:48like, don't tinker.

00:36:49I don't tinker.

00:36:51I don't tinker.

00:36:54With what

00:36:54works.

00:36:56I don't want

00:36:56her to change

00:36:57a thing.

00:37:01So,

00:37:02not bring

00:37:04value,

00:37:05our value.

00:37:08Our value.

00:37:09Somebody says,

00:37:16I've heard

00:37:17someone who

00:37:17was also

00:37:17late diagnosed

00:37:18autistic.

00:37:20Maybe.

00:37:21Early 30s.

00:37:22People pleasing

00:37:22goes very deep

00:37:23and the masking

00:37:24is very deep

00:37:24trauma.

00:37:25Trying to

00:37:26unwind coping

00:37:27strategies from

00:37:28her own actual

00:37:28identity, damaging

00:37:29in the extreme

00:37:31over decades.

00:37:31Hope this helps

00:37:32others.

00:37:36I don't believe

00:37:36in diagnoses as

00:37:37a whole when

00:37:38there's a blood

00:37:38test or a

00:37:39physical test.

00:37:53See,

00:37:54here's the

00:37:54problem.

00:37:56Here's the

00:37:56problem.

00:37:58This comes

00:37:59from the

00:38:004th of May

00:38:002025.

00:38:01This is from

00:38:02BBC,

00:38:07Conversation.

00:38:07I don't know

00:38:08who they are,

00:38:09but they look

00:38:09legit.

00:38:10And not just

00:38:11because they

00:38:11conform with my

00:38:13prejudices.

00:38:13All right.

00:38:14Okay, so.

00:38:21What percent

00:38:23of people in

00:38:23the UK

00:38:24consider

00:38:26themselves

00:38:27or self-identify

00:38:28as neurodivergent?

00:38:32What percentage

00:38:33of people

00:38:34self-identify

00:38:36is neurodivergent?

00:38:38Is neurodivergent?

00:38:39In other words,

00:38:39they say,

00:38:40I have autism

00:38:41or dyslexia

00:38:43or dyspraxia

00:38:45or this kind

00:38:46of stuff,

00:38:46right?

00:38:51Developmental

00:38:52coordination disorder,

00:38:54neurological and

00:38:54developmental condition

00:39:03learning to drive.

00:39:06Okay.

00:39:07So,

00:39:07what percentage

00:39:08of people in the UK

00:39:09self-identify

00:39:11as neurodivergent?

00:39:20So,

00:39:21do you know

00:39:22it's the majority?

00:39:24The majority

00:39:25of people in the UK

00:39:26consider themselves

00:39:29neurodivergent.

00:39:46in the UK.

00:39:51Autism

00:40:07at what

00:40:07are the

00:40:08percentages

00:40:08here.

00:40:10I don't

00:40:15they don't

00:40:16give the

00:40:16actual

00:40:16percentage

00:40:16here.

00:40:19This is

00:40:19from the

00:40:19independent.

00:40:20more people

00:40:24either seeking

00:40:24medical diagnosis

00:40:25like autism,

00:40:26dyslexia,

00:40:27or even

00:40:28self-diagnosing

00:40:29as a result

00:40:30of decreased

00:40:31Ah,

00:40:40a lot

00:40:41of

00:40:41eccentrics.

00:40:43And

00:40:43there has

00:40:50been a

00:40:50huge number

00:40:51of patients

00:40:51in the

00:40:51UK who

00:40:52have

00:40:52requested

00:40:53the

00:40:53autism

00:40:53assessment,

00:40:54growing 22%

00:40:55year-on-year

00:40:57to hit

00:40:58200,000

00:40:58in August

00:40:592024,

00:41:00with demand

00:41:01more than

00:41:0110 times

00:41:02higher than

00:41:02it was

00:41:03in 2019,

00:41:04just a

00:41:04couple of

00:41:04years,

00:41:0610 times

00:41:07higher.

00:41:09Massive

00:41:09backlog

00:41:10has built

00:41:10up.

00:41:1190% of

00:41:12referrals are

00:41:13waiting longer

00:41:13than the

00:41:13recommended

00:41:1413 weeks.

00:41:16Oh,

00:41:16so it

00:41:17says here,

00:41:17a leading

00:41:18psychologist

00:41:18has said

00:41:19a majority

00:41:19of Britons

00:41:20might now

00:41:20be identifying

00:41:21themselves as

00:41:22neurodivergent.

00:41:24So that's

00:41:25why there's

00:41:25not a

00:41:26percentage.

00:41:28So,

00:41:29may now

00:41:31be identifying

00:41:32themselves as

00:41:32neurodivergent.

00:41:33So,

00:41:33sorry,

00:41:34I went a

00:41:35little strong

00:41:35on my

00:41:36first round.

00:41:38so what I

00:41:47want to

00:41:48know is

00:41:48if there

00:41:51was no

00:41:51money in

00:41:53it,

00:41:54how much

00:41:55would there

00:41:55be?

00:41:57Right?

00:41:57So it's a

00:41:57big,

00:41:57big important

00:41:58question.

00:42:01It's a big

00:42:02important

00:42:02question.

00:42:02if there

00:42:03was no

00:42:03money in

00:42:04it,

00:42:04how much

00:42:05would there

00:42:06be?

00:42:08Money,

00:42:09attention,

00:42:11and self,

00:42:14self,

00:42:16I don't

00:42:16want to say

00:42:17self-drama,

00:42:19but

00:42:19attention,

00:42:22self-definition.

00:42:24I'm

00:42:24X.

00:42:25I don't

00:42:30know,

00:42:30man.

00:42:33I

00:42:33fully

00:42:34accept

00:42:34there's

00:42:35autism,

00:42:35and I

00:42:36fully

00:42:36accept

00:42:36that

00:42:36it's

00:42:37really

00:42:37tough.

00:42:3726%

00:42:38of the

00:42:38autistics

00:42:39are like

00:42:39IQ50

00:42:40or below

00:42:40and

00:42:40really

00:42:41can't

00:42:41function

00:42:41very

00:42:42well.

00:42:46But

00:42:47I don't

00:42:47know.

00:42:49I mean,

00:42:50the reality

00:42:52is,

00:42:52and this

00:42:55is anecdotal,

00:42:56but remember,

00:42:56I lived in

00:42:57three countries

00:42:57as a child.

00:42:58I lived in,

00:42:59well,

00:42:59four often,

00:43:00really.

00:43:00I lived in

00:43:01England,

00:43:02I lived in

00:43:02Ireland,

00:43:03I lived in

00:43:04South Africa,

00:43:05and I lived

00:43:05in Canada.

00:43:10I gotta

00:43:11tell you,

00:43:12this stuff

00:43:14was not

00:43:14around.

00:43:15Well,

00:43:15now,

00:43:15there were

00:43:16awkward,

00:43:17I mean,

00:43:17we used to

00:43:17play,

00:43:19every Sunday,

00:43:20every Saturday,

00:43:21we would have

00:43:22a pick-up

00:43:22game of

00:43:22baseball,

00:43:23every Sunday,

00:43:23we would have

00:43:24a pick-up

00:43:24game of

00:43:24soccer.

00:43:27And

00:43:28there was

00:43:29a fellow

00:43:29who played

00:43:29with us

00:43:30who was

00:43:30really,

00:43:31really awkward,

00:43:32couldn't catch

00:43:33through in a

00:43:33spastic kind

00:43:34of way,

00:43:34maybe he has

00:43:35this whatever,

00:43:35right,

00:43:35I don't

00:43:36know,

00:43:36dysphagia or

00:43:37whatever it

00:43:37was called,

00:43:38right?

00:43:38But it was

00:43:39never labeled

00:43:40that way,

00:43:40he was just

00:43:41kind of awkward,

00:43:41and he ended

00:43:42up getting a

00:43:43desk job,

00:43:44which worked

00:43:44out well for

00:43:45him,

00:43:45and of

00:43:46course,

00:43:46nobody ever

00:43:46expected him

00:43:48to become

00:43:48any kind

00:43:49of athlete,

00:43:49but I

00:43:55mean,

00:43:56what has

00:43:57happened to

00:43:57kids as a

00:43:58whole who

00:44:00don't go out

00:44:01and play?

00:44:02I mean,

00:44:02I explained

00:44:03this to my

00:44:04daughter the

00:44:04other day,

00:44:05that when I

00:44:06was a kid,

00:44:07like I'd come

00:44:08home from

00:44:08school,

00:44:09sort of 3.30,

00:44:10I had about

00:44:10a 20-minute walk

00:44:11to school,

00:44:12and I'd go

00:44:13out into

00:44:15the neighborhood

00:44:15and there

00:44:16were like 20

00:44:16kids you could

00:44:17play with,

00:44:17like always.

00:44:19No adults

00:44:20around,

00:44:20we'd just

00:44:20organize things

00:44:21ourselves,

00:44:21my mom would

00:44:22have this

00:44:22big giant

00:44:23cowbell,

00:44:23she'd lean

00:44:23out the

00:44:24window and

00:44:24ring the

00:44:24cowbell

00:44:25when it

00:44:25was time

00:44:25to come

00:44:25in for

00:44:25dinner,

00:44:27and I

00:44:28still hear a

00:44:28cowbell now,

00:44:29I don't drool

00:44:30because my

00:44:30mom's cooking

00:44:32would expect

00:44:32to eat,

00:44:33Pavlovian

00:44:33style,

00:44:34like we

00:44:35were just

00:44:35out,

00:44:36we climbed

00:44:37trees,

00:44:38we built

00:44:38forts in

00:44:39the woods,

00:44:40we played

00:44:40war,

00:44:41we played

00:44:42soccer if

00:44:42someone had

00:44:43a ball,

00:44:44we built

00:44:45go-karts

00:44:45together,

00:44:46like you

00:44:46just played

00:44:48with no

00:44:50money,

00:44:51it was all

00:44:52free,

00:44:53almost all

00:44:53free,

00:44:55we didn't

00:44:55have to go

00:44:55to Chuck E

00:44:56Cheese,

00:44:56didn't have

00:44:56to go to

00:44:57an arcade,

00:44:57didn't have

00:44:57to,

00:44:58right,

00:44:58because it

00:44:58didn't need

00:44:59to be,

00:44:59right,

00:44:59it was an

00:45:00incredibly safe,

00:45:01high truck,

00:45:02oppressed,

00:45:02homogenous

00:45:03society,

00:45:04I roamed,

00:45:07from the age

00:45:07of four

00:45:08onwards,

00:45:09I roamed

00:45:09all over

00:45:10town,

00:45:10on the bus,

00:45:10on the subway,

00:45:11and so on,

00:45:12now all of

00:45:15that time

00:45:16that I spent

00:45:17outside

00:45:18playing

00:45:20with my

00:45:22friends,

00:45:23inventing

00:45:25games,

00:45:26inventing rules,

00:45:27inventing

00:45:27enforcement,

00:45:28it's one of

00:45:28the reasons

00:45:28why I'm a

00:45:29voluntarist,

00:45:30as I know

00:45:30it works,

00:45:30it can work,

00:45:31if five-year-olds

00:45:32can do it,

00:45:32adults can do

00:45:33it,

00:45:34come up with

00:45:34their own

00:45:34rules and

00:45:36solutions,

00:45:36now,

00:45:40I mean,

00:45:41listen,

00:45:41I don't want

00:45:42to obviously

00:45:42blow my

00:45:43own trombone

00:45:45here,

00:45:46I'm pretty

00:45:47good at

00:45:47sports,

00:45:49I've won

00:45:50pickleball

00:45:50tournaments,

00:45:51I was the

00:45:52seventh fastest

00:45:52swimmer in

00:45:53Ontario,

00:45:54I played a lot

00:45:55of tennis,

00:45:57never quite won,

00:45:57but got close

00:45:58at times,

00:45:59you know,

00:45:59I'm pretty

00:46:00sporty,

00:46:00and I've played

00:46:01just about every

00:46:02sport known to

00:46:02man,

00:46:02I was on

00:46:03cross-country

00:46:04running teams,

00:46:04I was on the

00:46:05water polo team,

00:46:05the swim team,

00:46:06of course,

00:46:06the tennis team,

00:46:07and I played

00:46:08baseball,

00:46:09played soccer,

00:46:10played cricket,

00:46:11played a little

00:46:11bit of rugby,

00:46:12but I think it

00:46:14was Australian

00:46:14rules rugby,

00:46:15which is basically

00:46:15no rules,

00:46:17nature,

00:46:17red and tooth

00:46:18and claw rugby,

00:46:19and I just have

00:46:21fairly good

00:46:22hand-eye

00:46:23coordination,

00:46:24and I'm pretty

00:46:25sporty,

00:46:25but that's because

00:46:26I had a lot of

00:46:28time roaming around

00:46:29and playing things

00:46:30and all of that.

00:46:32So what is it

00:46:34with kids who

00:46:34are stuck indoors,

00:46:35they don't go

00:46:36out,

00:46:36they don't play,

00:46:37right,

00:46:37social trust has

00:46:38collapsed,

00:46:38as we know,

00:46:40and they're just

00:46:41home playing video

00:46:42games all day.

00:46:43Video games do

00:46:44nothing really for

00:46:46your hand-eye

00:46:46coordination in

00:46:47terms of sports

00:46:48because the

00:46:49movements are

00:46:50micro,

00:46:50right,

00:46:50you need bigger

00:46:51movements.

00:46:55Oh yeah,

00:46:55I played squash

00:46:56too,

00:46:58a lot of squash,

00:46:59particularly in

00:47:00college.

00:47:02I played squash

00:47:05up until a

00:47:06couple of years

00:47:06ago.

00:47:17So,

00:47:17how many people

00:47:21when they're just

00:47:21not out doing

00:47:22what you're supposed

00:47:23to be doing as a

00:47:24kid,

00:47:24you're supposed to

00:47:25be out in the

00:47:26neighborhood,

00:47:26roaming around

00:47:27with other kids,

00:47:28learning your

00:47:28social graces,

00:47:29learning your

00:47:29hand-eye

00:47:30coordination,

00:47:30learning how

00:47:31to have and

00:47:32enforce rules,

00:47:33and having your

00:47:34drama squabble

00:47:36fights,

00:47:36and ostracizing

00:47:37kids,

00:47:38and then bringing

00:47:38them back in if

00:47:39they do the right

00:47:39thing,

00:47:40and being ostracized

00:47:41and coming back

00:47:41in if you do the

00:47:42right thing,

00:47:42and all of this.

00:47:43Like,

00:47:43when I grew up,

00:47:44we,

00:47:44you know,

00:47:44if kids wouldn't

00:47:45obey the rules,

00:47:46we wouldn't play

00:47:46with them.

00:47:47And then we'd not

00:47:48play with them until

00:47:49they apologized and

00:47:50promised to play by

00:47:50the rules.

00:47:51Then we'd give

00:47:51them another try,

00:47:52and if they played

00:47:52by the rules,

00:47:53always forgiven,

00:47:54always forgotten,

00:47:55if they didn't play

00:47:55by the rules,

00:47:56we kicked them out

00:47:57again.

00:47:58And it was like

00:47:59three strikes and

00:47:59you don't get

00:48:00invited back,

00:48:00which never happened.

00:48:02I mean,

00:48:02never kicked someone

00:48:03out permanently.

00:48:04This is why,

00:48:04this is why

00:48:05deplatforming was

00:48:06just kind of weird

00:48:07to me.

00:48:08Like,

00:48:08okay,

00:48:08so let's say I

00:48:09didn't play by

00:48:09some rules,

00:48:10okay,

00:48:10give me a warning

00:48:11or whatever,

00:48:11right?

00:48:11But no,

00:48:13social murder,

00:48:14ostracism forever

00:48:15and ever,

00:48:16amen.

00:48:18Asterisk,

00:48:18not Elon Musk,

00:48:19right?

00:48:21So,

00:48:24we,

00:48:25but of course,

00:48:25we lived in a,

00:48:26I lived in a,

00:48:27in England for many

00:48:28years,

00:48:28what's called a

00:48:29council estate,

00:48:30which is a bunch

00:48:30of fairly cheap

00:48:31rent-controlled

00:48:32apartments with a

00:48:33bunch of grass

00:48:33around.

00:48:34And we could,

00:48:35we didn't have to

00:48:36cross roads,

00:48:37we could just play

00:48:38in the woods,

00:48:39we could play,

00:48:39there was lots of

00:48:40green spaces around

00:48:41and so on,

00:48:41right?

00:48:42So,

00:48:42it was,

00:48:43and I just,

00:48:44I was never home.

00:48:46I was never home.

00:48:47I mean,

00:48:48I didn't like home,

00:48:49but yeah,

00:48:50I was never home.

00:48:52Why would you want

00:48:52to be home?

00:48:54And nobody had any

00:48:55snacks.

00:48:55It's another funny thing,

00:48:56you know,

00:48:56that now kids can't

00:48:57go more than 20

00:48:58minutes without a

00:48:59plate full of

00:49:00watermelon and

00:49:01little sliced up

00:49:03orange rights.

00:49:07So,

00:49:08I don't know.

00:49:08The glorious anarchy

00:49:09of childhood

00:49:10is gone.

00:49:11You know,

00:49:11there's that meme

00:49:12that says the world

00:49:13that you grew up in

00:49:13no longer exists.

00:49:15It's very true.

00:49:16All gone.

00:49:18All dead

00:49:19and gone.

00:49:22Very sad.

00:49:23It was great.

00:49:24It was great.

00:49:26And of course,

00:49:26when I was in boarding

00:49:27school,

00:49:27I was in boarding

00:49:28school with 500

00:49:28other kids.

00:49:30And there was

00:49:32always someone

00:49:33and a whole bunch

00:49:34of stuff to do a

00:49:36whole bunch of

00:49:36things with.

00:49:39Never,

00:49:40ever short.

00:49:40Now,

00:49:41I mean,

00:49:41I don't know if

00:49:42you've ever lived

00:49:42in the suburbs,

00:49:43but they're mostly

00:49:43bedroom communities,

00:49:44right?

00:49:45People go to work,

00:49:46they drop their

00:49:46kids off at daycare,

00:49:47they go to work,

00:49:48they come home,

00:49:48they get their kids

00:49:49from daycare,

00:49:49they give them

00:49:50dinner,

00:49:50then it's like

00:49:51eight o'clock,

00:49:51they got to

00:49:51bathe them,

00:49:52or whatever,

00:49:53and nobody's out.

00:49:53Maybe a couple

00:49:54of hours on

00:49:55Sunday afternoon.

00:49:56That's it.

00:49:58That's it.

00:50:04Somebody says,

00:50:05I started taking

00:50:09self-defense courses

00:50:09a while back,

00:50:10in part to get

00:50:10my hand-eye

00:50:11coordination back

00:50:12and get in touch

00:50:13with my body.

00:50:13Spending like

00:50:14two decades

00:50:14playing video games

00:50:15growing up,

00:50:16and a decade of

00:50:16weed use has

00:50:17really taken this

00:50:18toll.

00:50:18It's amazing how

00:50:18quickly I'm getting

00:50:19it back.

00:50:19Yeah,

00:50:20and this is one

00:50:21of the things

00:50:21I was very

00:50:22grateful to

00:50:23in theater school,

00:50:24was I did a lot

00:50:24of Alexandra technique,

00:50:25I did a lot

00:50:26of body work,

00:50:27I did a lot

00:50:27of stretching,

00:50:28I did Tai Chi,

00:50:30I just did a lot

00:50:30of stuff that

00:50:32really helped

00:50:33me do the

00:50:34body work

00:50:35that was

00:50:37more missing.

00:50:42I mean,

00:50:42even in Canada,

00:50:44there were local

00:50:45places in the

00:50:46winter,

00:50:46local places

00:50:47in the park

00:50:48where you could

00:50:48go and

00:50:50you could

00:50:50just

00:50:53toboggan,

00:50:55right?

00:50:56And you'd

00:50:56just get one

00:50:57of these

00:50:5799-cent

00:50:58plastic sheets

00:50:58and you

00:51:00just would

00:51:02go and

00:51:03toboggan.

00:51:03And you'd

00:51:03go out there,

00:51:04you'd call up

00:51:05some friend,

00:51:06you would go

00:51:06and tobogganing,

00:51:06sounds great.

00:51:09There was no,

00:51:10I never had a

00:51:11play date.

00:51:11I never had a

00:51:12play date.

00:51:15Never.

00:51:18You'd just go

00:51:19places and

00:51:20there'd be kids,

00:51:21I mean,

00:51:21maybe you'd know

00:51:22them,

00:51:22maybe you wouldn't,

00:51:22but you could

00:51:23always hang out

00:51:23with them and

00:51:24do something

00:51:24fun.

00:51:27And I don't

00:51:32know,

00:51:32I don't know if

00:51:32that's coming back,

00:51:33certainly not in

00:51:33my lifetime.

00:51:34Somebody says,

00:51:41true,

00:51:41parents kicked

00:51:41me out after

00:51:42lunch,

00:51:42took my bike

00:51:43alone and

00:51:43just kept

00:51:43myself out

00:51:44of the way.

00:51:44Being alone,

00:51:45I didn't have

00:51:45to deal with

00:51:45abuse at home

00:51:46or bullying

00:51:47at school.

00:51:48Never was

00:51:49sorry about

00:51:50that,

00:51:50I'm sorry

00:51:50about that.

00:51:53I mean,

00:51:59other time,

00:51:59in order to

00:52:00have a social

00:52:00life,

00:52:02people.

00:52:04If you're

00:52:10you really

00:52:10can't have

00:52:11a broadband

00:52:11social life.

00:52:13I mean,

00:52:14that's just

00:52:15the fact.

00:52:16There has to

00:52:16be some

00:52:17graciousness

00:52:17for the

00:52:17annoying

00:52:17people.

00:52:57romance?

00:53:00Have you

00:53:00ever tried

00:53:01that?

00:53:01I have.

00:53:03I tried

00:53:04that when

00:53:04I was a

00:53:04teenager.

00:53:05Oh,

00:53:06no.

00:53:07Oh,

00:53:08nobody told

00:53:09me.

00:53:09Nobody told

00:53:10me.

00:53:11You ever

00:53:11tried that?

00:53:12You ever

00:53:13tried being

00:53:15a woman's

00:53:16friend in

00:53:17the hopes

00:53:18that maybe

00:53:19you could

00:53:20upgrade to

00:53:21girlfriend,

00:53:22boyfriend?

00:53:22I think it's

00:53:24a more common

00:53:24male strategy.

00:53:26Yeah,

00:53:28it didn't

00:53:28work.

00:53:29Yeah.

00:53:32There was a

00:53:33great show

00:53:33called Scrubs

00:53:34back in the

00:53:35day, and

00:53:36there was

00:53:36one of the

00:53:37shows, a

00:53:38guy kissed

00:53:38a girl and

00:53:39then kind

00:53:39of ran

00:53:39away, and

00:53:41there was a

00:53:41countdown

00:53:41clock, which

00:53:42is you've

00:53:42got like 20

00:53:43minutes till

00:53:44you kiss her

00:53:44again, or

00:53:45you're stuck

00:53:45in the

00:53:45friend zone,

00:53:46and it's

00:53:46like the

00:53:46whole show

00:53:47was just

00:53:47counting down

00:53:48that 20

00:53:48minutes.

00:53:48It was

00:53:48very funny.

00:53:50It was a

00:53:50good show.

00:53:52All right.

00:53:52A few

00:53:59weeks ago,

00:53:59I, 29

00:54:00year old

00:54:01male, posted

00:54:01about wanting

00:54:02to confess my

00:54:02feelings to

00:54:03my best

00:54:03friend, 27

00:54:04year old

00:54:04female.

00:54:05After months

00:54:06of emotional

00:54:07back and

00:54:07forth, I

00:54:07decided to

00:54:08be honest

00:54:08with her.

00:54:09There had

00:54:10been closeness,

00:54:11physical

00:54:12affection, long

00:54:13vacations, and

00:54:14friend dates, the

00:54:15blurred lines, and

00:54:17it felt like it

00:54:17was time to

00:54:18stop guessing, so

00:54:19I did it.

00:54:19I told her, even

00:54:21when I already

00:54:21deep down, knew

00:54:22the answer.

00:54:24She was kind,

00:54:25quiet, unsure,

00:54:27and respectful.

00:54:28She said I'm

00:54:28one of the

00:54:28most important

00:54:29people in her

00:54:30life, if not

00:54:30the most

00:54:31important.

00:54:32She'd thought

00:54:33about it and

00:54:33about us multiple

00:54:34times before in

00:54:35that marry your

00:54:35best friend kind

00:54:36of way.

00:54:38But she

00:54:39doesn't feel

00:54:39that kind of

00:54:39romantic feelings

00:54:40towards me.

00:54:41Oh no, we

00:54:42lack chemistry.

00:54:45She still wants

00:54:46us to remain

00:54:47close, and we

00:54:48agreed to let

00:54:48this settle before

00:54:49we talk again

00:54:50about how to

00:54:51move forward.

00:54:52We didn't

00:54:52really have

00:54:53much time

00:54:53to talk.

00:54:54And even

00:54:55though that

00:54:55conversation went

00:54:56as well as it

00:54:56could have, no

00:54:57it didn't, I'm

00:54:59left feeling

00:54:59tired, not

00:55:00disappointed in

00:55:00her, not

00:55:01angry, just

00:55:01exhausted.

00:55:05I've done this

00:55:05whole emotionally

00:55:06mature person who

00:55:07does the right

00:55:07thing so many

00:55:08times, and yet I

00:55:08keep ending up in

00:55:09the same place.

00:55:11I'm the great

00:55:11guy, the safe

00:55:12space, the one

00:55:13everyone misses and

00:55:16appreciates, but not

00:55:17the one anyone

00:55:17chooses in that

00:55:18way.

00:55:19I'm frustrated, I've

00:55:22worked through so

00:55:23many things in

00:55:23life, like school,

00:55:24university, housing,

00:55:26and career, but

00:55:26this part, romantic

00:55:27connection, keeps

00:55:28slipping through.

00:55:30And it's not that

00:55:30I'm unloved, I'm

00:55:32just not loved in

00:55:32that way.

00:55:34And when I'm

00:55:35finally interested in

00:55:36someone, when I feel

00:55:37truly connected, it

00:55:39turns out they don't

00:55:39feel the same.

00:55:40I'm not looking for

00:55:44pity, I'm just tired

00:55:46of being told how

00:55:47great I am by people

00:55:47who don't want to

00:55:48actually be fully

00:55:49with me.

00:55:50I don't want

00:55:51compliments, I want

00:55:52connection, mutual,

00:55:54real, romantic.

00:55:55I want to stop being

00:55:56the one person, I

00:56:01want to stop being

00:56:02the one people talk

00:56:03to about their love

00:56:04lives and finally be

00:56:05part of one myself.

00:56:06Telling her it was

00:56:07still the right

00:56:07decision.

00:56:08I would have carried

00:56:09it with me for years

00:56:09otherwise, but now I'm

00:56:10that it's out, I'm

00:56:12just standing here

00:56:13with this mix of

00:56:13peace, resignation,

00:56:15and quiet frustration.

00:56:16I just don't know

00:56:17right now, is it the

00:56:19right thing to start

00:56:19dating again, to go

00:56:20through the same cycle

00:56:21over and over?

00:56:25No.

00:56:28With women as a

00:56:30whole, with women as

00:56:33a whole, if you don't

00:56:38strike out hard for the

00:56:40romance zone, she's

00:56:41romance zone, she's

00:56:41going to put you in

00:56:42eunuch, servant, slave,

00:56:45brother, friend zone.

00:56:56It's a bad idea.

00:56:57And I learned in my teens,

00:57:02speak your heart or move

00:57:06on, but don't stick

00:57:08around crossing your

00:57:09fingers.

00:57:10It's a bad idea.

00:57:12It's a very bad idea.

00:57:13you will lower yourself into a

00:57:21sexless zone, because to be

00:57:24around a woman, okay, look,

00:57:27let's be frank here.

00:57:29Let's be frank.

00:57:31Women know if you're

00:57:34attracted to them.

00:57:35Women know.

00:57:36It's kind of their biological

00:57:39job to know.

00:57:39Women know if you are

00:57:43attracted to them.

00:57:46So,

00:57:47if

00:57:50you

00:57:52are around a woman and

00:57:55attracted to her, and you

00:57:57don't say anything, she's just

00:57:58going to view you as kind of

00:58:00weak and pathetic.

00:58:00Like, if you want to

00:58:05understand this as a male,

00:58:07so imagine that you've got a

00:58:09friend who desperately wants

00:58:11you to give him a job.

00:58:14You know that.

00:58:15He knows that.

00:58:16You both know it.

00:58:18And you're like, you know

00:58:19what?

00:58:19I mean, the job is in sale, so

00:58:21he's got to be kind of a go-getter.

00:58:23He's got to be kind of

00:58:24assertive, if not downright

00:58:26aggressive.

00:58:26He's got to be pushy.

00:58:27He's got to stay what he

00:58:28wants.

00:58:29He's got to be kind of a

00:58:30strong guy.

00:58:31It's a sales job, man.

00:58:33He's got to have some

00:58:34oomph.

00:58:35He's got to have some

00:58:36castanads swinging between

00:58:38his tighty-whities, right?

00:58:43And your friend is hanging

00:58:44around.

00:58:45You know, he's just desperate

00:58:46for a job, but he doesn't

00:58:48say anything.

00:58:50And then finally, after like a

00:58:52year and a half, he's like,

00:58:54you know, I really think I

00:58:57want a job.

00:58:58You know, I've really, I've

00:59:02been thinking about it.

00:59:03I just, I just, I really, I

00:59:06think, I think it would work

00:59:08well, like with you as a boss

00:59:09and me as an employee, and

00:59:11maybe we could partner up.

00:59:12But I, you know, I really, I've

00:59:13got strong feelings about, you

00:59:16know, wanting a job.

00:59:18Would you give him a sales job

00:59:19if he'd hung around for 18

00:59:20months without saying anything

00:59:22and then finally said it in a

00:59:24kind of weak-kneed, waggle,

00:59:27wristed kind of way?

00:59:29No.

00:59:30Of course you wouldn't.

00:59:34Of course you wouldn't.

00:59:38You'd be like, you know, I

00:59:40basically have known you've

00:59:41wanted this job for 18 months.

00:59:43Why on earth you wouldn't tell

00:59:44me you want this job is just

00:59:46kind of weird to me.

00:59:47Like, what's wrong with you that

00:59:48you don't just say, hey, man,

00:59:49I want a job.

00:59:52I think I'd be good at it.

00:59:53I mean, let me, I mean, I

00:59:54want to be pushy.

00:59:55I want to, you know, give me a

00:59:56try.

00:59:56Just give me a try.

00:59:57Give me a try.

00:59:58You know what?

00:59:59I won't even take any salary

01:00:00for the first month.

01:00:01Let me just show you what I

01:00:02can do.

01:00:03Let me just have this job.

01:00:07You'll be amazed.

01:00:08Right?

01:00:09Job zone.

01:00:09Yeah.

01:00:10Right.

01:00:11Then you might give him a

01:00:12job.

01:00:12But if he's just kind of

01:00:13hanging around, showing vague

01:00:14interest, oh, that's an

01:00:15interesting business model you

01:00:16have.

01:00:17Oh, how much do the sales people

01:00:18get paid?

01:00:19Oh, yeah, that could be a

01:00:20cool job.

01:00:21I don't know.

01:00:21Like, just not, like, you

01:00:22wouldn't.

01:00:24Be assertive.

01:00:25Ask for what you want.

01:00:30Freedomain.com slash donate.

01:00:31I can't model it any more than

01:00:32I do, people.

01:00:34Freedomain.com slash donate.

01:00:37Do I ask?

01:00:38Come on.

01:00:39Do I model asking for what I

01:00:41want?

01:00:42I want call-in shows.

01:00:43I want people to read my

01:00:44books.

01:00:45I want people to watch my

01:00:46documentaries.

01:00:46I want people to donate to the

01:00:48show.

01:00:48I want people to give me

01:00:49questions.

01:00:50I ask for what I want.

01:00:52I'm not asking you to read my

01:00:54mind.

01:00:56It drives people nuts.

01:00:58It really does.

01:00:59Like, I remember this on social

01:01:00media, right?

01:01:03Drives people nuts.

01:01:08I mean, I still remember, I'll

01:01:10mention this once every six

01:01:11months until I'm dead, when

01:01:13somebody donated two bucks to

01:01:15me, and I posted, I don't

01:01:16mean to sound ungrateful, but

01:01:17that's all I said, right?

01:01:20Because, you know, I got to

01:01:21track it.

01:01:22I got to report on it.

01:01:23I've got to pay fees on it.

01:01:24I got to pay taxes on it.

01:01:25Like, I want donations that aren't

01:01:31two dollars or one dollar.

01:01:32I just, I do.

01:01:33That's what I want.

01:01:37And people go nuts when you, well,

01:01:39as a male, right?

01:01:40All female preferences are

01:01:42empowering.

01:01:43All male preferences are bullying

01:01:45and controlling.

01:01:47Like, you know what it is as men.

01:01:48Like, have you ever tried to be

01:01:49assertive about what you want

01:01:50outside of a business environment

01:01:52as a man?

01:01:52Here's what I need.

01:01:54Here's what I want.

01:01:55Here's what I'm looking for.

01:01:56Here's what works for me.

01:01:58You brute.

01:02:00You tyrant.

01:02:02Right?

01:02:05Women can have height

01:02:06requirements.

01:02:07Men can't have weight

01:02:08requirements, even though weight

01:02:10is under your control.

01:02:12And height is not.

01:02:18A woman can want a man who

01:02:19makes six figures.

01:02:20A man cannot want a woman

01:02:23who doesn't post semi-nude

01:02:26pictures or nude pictures

01:02:27on their interwebs.

01:02:29It's a giant system of tubes.

01:02:34Yeah, I don't want small donations.

01:02:36Because if you're that broke

01:02:38that you can only afford

01:02:39to send me two dollars,

01:02:40don't send me the two dollars.

01:02:41If you can afford more

01:02:42and I haven't provided enough value,

01:02:44then just wait till I've provided

01:02:46enough value and send me more.

01:02:47I mean, when I was,

01:02:52I remember when I was working

01:02:54at Pizza Hut,

01:02:55there was this whole room full of,

01:02:57there was a whole end of the room

01:02:58tables with like a whole bunch

01:03:00of like 20 kids,

01:03:02some birthday party.

01:03:03God, it was a mess.

01:03:04There was pizza on the ceiling.

01:03:05There was pizza on the carpet.

01:03:06Like it was just a complete mess.

01:03:08And it was like 120 bucks

01:03:10and they left a two dollar tip.

01:03:11Oh, that was,

01:03:12that's annoying.

01:03:13That's annoying.

01:03:16That's annoying.

01:03:17Like order a little bit,

01:03:18order one less pizza

01:03:18and leave a decent tip.

01:03:20Especially because

01:03:21it took like an hour

01:03:22to clean up.

01:03:23Right?

01:03:24Thank you, Chris.

01:03:28So,

01:03:28I mean,

01:03:31are men allowed

01:03:32to have preferences?

01:03:33I would express preferences.

01:03:35People would lose their minds.

01:03:36Of course, men aren't allowed.

01:03:38Right?

01:03:39You understand that

01:03:39we are the modern serfs.

01:03:40Right?

01:03:41We men are the modern serfs.

01:03:43We vastly,

01:03:44disproportionately

01:03:45contribute

01:03:47to the tax system

01:03:48and

01:03:49we can be

01:03:50hauled off

01:03:51to a war

01:03:53at a whim.

01:03:55We are the chattel

01:03:56serfs

01:03:57of

01:03:58the tax farm.

01:03:59And we're not allowed

01:04:00to have preferences.

01:04:02And I just remember

01:04:03people get so mad

01:04:05because I had preferences

01:04:06and expressed preferences.

01:04:08Well, you should be grateful.

01:04:09Maybe that's all the money

01:04:11he has.

01:04:11It's like,

01:04:12then I don't want it.

01:04:13I don't want to take

01:04:13someone's last $2.

01:04:15My God,

01:04:15that's awful.

01:04:18Maybe that's all

01:04:18he can afford.

01:04:19Then he should not

01:04:20send it to me.

01:04:22If it's like

01:04:23your last $2,

01:04:24please God,

01:04:25if it's your last $2,

01:04:26save it for bus fare

01:04:27so you can get a job.

01:04:31Buy soap.

01:04:32Buy

01:04:33toothpaste.

01:04:36Buy

01:04:36whatever you need to buy.

01:04:38But don't send it to me.

01:04:44Yeah,

01:04:44that lasted for years.

01:04:46Two feckin' dollars.

01:04:49And I just,

01:04:49I mocked

01:04:50and savaged

01:04:51and attacked

01:04:52someone who sent me $2.

01:04:53First of all,

01:04:53I never showed their name.

01:04:54Of course, right?

01:04:55And I just said,

01:04:56I don't mean to sound ungrateful,

01:04:57but I just expressed

01:04:57a mild non-preference

01:04:59for a $2 donation.

01:05:01People just lost their minds.

01:05:02It was absolutely hilarious.

01:05:04There's just this instinct

01:05:09in society

01:05:10that when productive men

01:05:12have preferences,

01:05:13you shut them

01:05:14the fuck down.

01:05:17You attack them

01:05:18until hopefully

01:05:20they self-attack.

01:05:21You attack them

01:05:22so that no other men

01:05:23dare express

01:05:25any kind of preference

01:05:26at all.

01:05:26My God.

01:05:35My God.

01:05:38I mean,

01:05:39it really was

01:05:39to ensure

01:05:41that no other men

01:05:43were to express

01:05:43any kind of preference.

01:05:45No,

01:05:46I'm allowed to express

01:05:46a preference.

01:05:47I don't like

01:05:47$2 donations.

01:05:48I don't.

01:05:49I feel bad.

01:05:53I don't want

01:05:54people's last $2.

01:05:56And

01:05:56if they think

01:05:59my show is only

01:05:59worth $2,

01:06:00I don't want them

01:06:01to tell me that.

01:06:03And if they,

01:06:04you know,

01:06:04and it's just

01:06:05an empathy thing,

01:06:05right?

01:06:06It's just a basic

01:06:07empathy thing.

01:06:07I'm allowed

01:06:08to have preferences.

01:06:09I want to talk

01:06:10about IQ.

01:06:11I want to talk

01:06:11about this.

01:06:12I want to talk

01:06:12about that.

01:06:12I'm allowed

01:06:14to have preferences.

01:06:19And

01:06:21if you don't

01:06:23have preferences,

01:06:24you kind of

01:06:25don't exist.

01:06:26You know,

01:06:27we are really

01:06:28the sum of our

01:06:29preferences in the world.

01:06:30What else,

01:06:31what else we have?

01:06:31What else are we

01:06:32expressing expression

01:06:34of preferences?

01:06:37I like this in bed.

01:06:38I don't like that in bed.

01:06:39I like this food.

01:06:40I don't like that food.

01:06:41I like this music.

01:06:41I like that.

01:06:42Don't like that music.

01:06:43I don't like horror movies.

01:06:44I do like character dramas,

01:06:45historical dramas,

01:06:46whatever,

01:06:46right?

01:06:47So,

01:06:50I just remember that

01:06:51people lost their shit

01:06:54that I expressed

01:06:56a mild preference

01:06:58for donations

01:06:59that weren't $2.

01:07:00I just remember that.

01:07:01It was very funny.

01:07:02I mean,

01:07:03I knew what was going on.

01:07:04But yeah,

01:07:05people just,

01:07:05they hung on to that.

01:07:07Oh yeah,

01:07:07that guy.

01:07:08He just relentlessly

01:07:10mocked and attacked

01:07:10someone who could only

01:07:11afford to donate $2.

01:07:12It's like,

01:07:13fucking liars,

01:07:14you know?

01:07:15Fucking liars in the world.

01:07:16Just,

01:07:17oh yeah,

01:07:18like,

01:07:19this is the guy

01:07:19who tells you

01:07:20you should cut off

01:07:20your family

01:07:21just for disagreeing

01:07:22with them about

01:07:22taxes or politics.

01:07:24It's like,

01:07:24that's not the argument.

01:07:26Just,

01:07:27giant fucking liars.

01:07:28GFLs.

01:07:30The giant,

01:07:31brain-clogging,

01:07:32peeing in the pool,

01:07:33shitting in the salad.

01:07:35Just,

01:07:35pathological fucking liars.

01:07:38Ugh,

01:07:39so gross.

01:07:39So boring.

01:07:40I'm like,

01:07:41I have no one like that

01:07:42within a million miles

01:07:43of my life.

01:07:44Just fucking liars.

01:07:45Just,

01:07:47and you see,

01:07:48I mean,

01:07:48you see this in politics,

01:07:49still,

01:07:49people still pumping

01:07:50that it was an insurrection.

01:07:52Nobody was charged

01:07:53with insurrection.

01:07:55That,

01:07:55that,

01:07:56that,

01:07:56that officers were killed.

01:07:58It's like,

01:07:58no,

01:07:59no officers died that day.

01:08:02Russia collusion conspiracy

01:08:03hoax is still being pushed

01:08:05in some circles.

01:08:05The fine people hoax

01:08:07is endless.

01:08:09Endless.

01:08:09It's like,

01:08:10fucking Al Gore.

01:08:11Jesus Christ.

01:08:13Stick a broomstick up

01:08:15someone's ass,

01:08:15give them a bad haircut

01:08:16and turn them into

01:08:17a pathological liar,

01:08:18you'd have something

01:08:18approximating.

01:08:20Al Gore,

01:08:21the truth,

01:08:22guy.

01:08:23Still,

01:08:23still pushing the

01:08:24global warming shit.

01:08:27I mean,

01:08:27in the 80s,

01:08:28that was the thing.

01:08:29We were all supposed

01:08:29to be dead long ago.

01:08:30Doesn't matter.

01:08:31Doesn't matter.

01:08:32Just,

01:08:32CO2 plant food

01:08:36is poison.

01:08:41Or you see these,

01:08:42these videos of the guy

01:08:43who's like,

01:08:44would you date a guy?

01:08:45Would you date a short guy?

01:08:47No.

01:08:47Well,

01:08:48step on the scale then.

01:08:51No.

01:08:52I don't want to show you

01:08:53how much I weigh.

01:08:54Well,

01:08:56you won't date a short guy.

01:08:57Am I allowed to,

01:08:58I want to date a woman

01:08:59who weighs less than me?

01:09:00No.

01:09:02Yeah,

01:09:06like the,

01:09:06the joke one of the woman

01:09:08who's like,

01:09:08I need to see your bank account.

01:09:09It's like,

01:09:09okay,

01:09:10I need to see you

01:09:10without makeup

01:09:11and step on this scale.

01:09:13Right?

01:09:15Women are allowed

01:09:15to have preferences.

01:09:17We men

01:09:17are chattel serfs

01:09:19to be exploited

01:09:21for the sake

01:09:22of buying women's votes.

01:09:23It's like,

01:09:23all the government does

01:09:24is jam its squid tentacles

01:09:26into our nads,

01:09:27pockets,

01:09:27and assholes

01:09:28to extract as much money

01:09:29as possible

01:09:29to buy women's votes

01:09:30so that women have the,

01:09:32credence

01:09:33and grafted balls

01:09:35to insult us forever

01:09:36and ever are men.

01:09:38You know,

01:09:39it's,

01:09:39people talk about how,

01:09:41you know,

01:09:41public health and governments

01:09:42and so on

01:09:43and the media

01:09:43is going to have

01:09:44a tough time recovering

01:09:45after COVID,

01:09:49right?

01:09:50And that's all true.

01:09:51But I'll tell you this,

01:09:53chivalry is dead forever.

01:09:55Fucking dead forever.

01:09:57Chivalry is dead forever.

01:09:57I mean,

01:10:02when women were liberated

01:10:03from all restraints,

01:10:06including rational fiscal restraints,

01:10:09I mean,

01:10:10not all,

01:10:10of course,

01:10:10right?

01:10:11Lovely women in the world,

01:10:12wonderful women in the world,

01:10:12but a lot of them

01:10:13turned into

01:10:14only fans chasing,

01:10:16baby murdering,

01:10:17male insulting,

01:10:19open borders,

01:10:20addicts complaining

01:10:20about the crime rate,

01:10:22just lunatics.

01:10:22Ah,

01:10:27but you see,

01:10:28if we liberate women,

01:10:29we're going to get

01:10:29all these rocket scientists

01:10:31and surgeons

01:10:31and,

01:10:32you know,

01:10:32we're getting a few of those,

01:10:33but mostly we're getting

01:10:35women staggering around

01:15:21And you

01:15:22can actually

01:15:22go to

01:15:23premium.freedomain.com.

01:15:24I had a

01:15:25really ferocious

01:15:25debate about

01:15:26abortion with

01:15:27a woman.

01:15:29I actually

01:15:29had to kind

01:15:30of tell her

01:15:30to keep a

01:15:30civil tongue

01:15:31in her

01:15:31head because

01:15:31it got

01:15:32pretty ugly.

01:15:33Women

01:15:33will,

01:15:35I mean,

01:15:37they will

01:15:37fight tooth

01:15:38and nail.

01:15:39Most women

01:15:40will fight

01:15:40tooth and

01:15:40nail for

01:15:41the right

01:15:41to kill

01:15:41children

01:15:41in the

01:15:42womb.

01:15:42And I'm

01:15:50not going

01:15:50to say

01:15:51that women

01:15:51have gotten

01:15:51worse,

01:15:52but female

01:15:53nature,

01:15:53female nature

01:15:54plus the

01:15:54state,

01:15:56has been

01:15:56exposed and

01:15:59can't be

01:16:00unseen.

01:16:12It's wild.

01:16:22So what

01:16:23percentage of

01:16:23women have

01:16:24had an

01:16:24abortion?

01:16:26One in

01:16:27four U.S.

01:16:28women expected

01:16:28to have an

01:16:28abortion in

01:16:29their lifetime.

01:16:35Those aren't

01:16:35women,

01:16:36those are

01:16:36graveyards.

01:16:40What is

01:16:45mostly for

01:16:46lifestyle.

01:17:00And health

01:17:00risks

01:17:08mental health

01:17:08outcomes,

01:17:09research but

01:17:09not conclusive,

01:17:12research but

01:17:12not conclusive,

01:17:16And what is

01:17:17it,

01:17:17the morning

01:17:17after pill?

01:17:18Forty percent

01:17:18of women have

01:17:19a negative

01:17:20health effect

01:17:20from that?

01:17:20It's like,

01:17:21well,

01:17:21it does kill

01:17:21the baby,

01:17:22it may not

01:17:22be great for

01:17:22you,

01:17:23or it kills

01:17:24an implantation.

01:17:25Sorry,

01:17:25it kills

01:17:25implantation,

01:17:26I think

01:17:26that's the

01:17:26way.

01:17:28But women are

01:17:33just the

01:17:33peaceful sex,

01:17:34the lovely

01:17:34sex,

01:17:35the beautiful

01:17:35sex.

01:17:36I mean,

01:17:49it's a real

01:17:50shame.

01:17:51I mean,

01:17:51the women I

01:17:52know,

01:17:53lovely,

01:17:53wonderful,

01:17:53thoughtful,

01:17:54caring

01:17:56women I

01:17:56know,

01:17:56just great,

01:17:57great people.

01:18:02But,

01:18:03um,

01:18:08the carelessness

01:18:09and the

01:18:10callousness.

01:18:11You know,

01:18:12men to be

01:18:13motivated need

01:18:13the illusion of

01:18:14female beauty.

01:18:29All right.

01:18:30Any other

01:18:31last questions,

01:18:31comments,

01:18:32issues,

01:18:32whatever is on

01:18:33your mind?

01:18:34Happy to

01:18:34facilitate,

01:18:36happy to

01:18:36help.

01:18:45All right.

01:18:46I would like

01:18:47to poll the

01:18:47suffragettes to

01:18:48find out what

01:18:48they feel about

01:18:50fighting for

01:18:50women's rights to

01:18:51be ladies of

01:18:51easy virtue that

01:18:52existed in the

01:18:5319th century.

01:18:54That existed in

01:18:55the 19th century

01:18:55too, yeah?

01:18:56I'm fairly certain

01:18:57that is something

01:18:57they would hate.

01:18:58Well, of course,

01:18:59there were a lot

01:18:59of women who

01:18:59warned against

01:19:00giving the vote

01:19:00to women.

01:19:01And look,

01:19:01I have no

01:19:02issues with

01:19:02giving the vote

01:19:02to women.

01:19:03I just don't

01:19:03think anyone

01:19:04should have

01:19:04the vote

01:19:04because I'm

01:19:05a voluntarist.

01:19:05a statistical

01:19:15reminder of

01:19:16a world that

01:19:17doesn't care.

01:19:28thoughts tonight.

01:19:31mean, of course,

01:19:31that the women

01:19:32of virtue and

01:19:32women of

01:19:33quality of

01:19:33character are

01:23:17women, but it's

01:23:17people as a whole

01:23:18are.

01:23:19Yeah, control your

01:23:20lust.

01:23:21Imagine if the

01:23:22woman could not

01:23:22provide you sexual

01:23:23access, or the

01:23:24man could not

01:23:24provide you sexual

01:23:25access, status, or

01:23:26resources, how

01:23:27interested would you

01:23:28be in the

01:23:29person, if they

01:23:35did not provide

01:23:36immediate hedonistic

01:23:37value or virtue.

01:23:43Interesting.

01:23:44Why is it that

01:23:44women do these

01:23:46selfies while

01:23:46putting makeup on?

01:23:48Do these speeches

01:23:49while putting makeup

01:23:50on?

01:23:50Is that just some

01:23:51female-to-female

01:23:52truth signal?

01:23:53I don't quite

01:23:53understand why

01:23:55this is a thing,

01:23:56but it sure as

01:23:57heck is.

01:23:58Yeah, I think,

01:24:01James, I think

01:24:01people in the

01:24:02past had trouble

01:24:02finding that.

01:24:03I thought we'd

01:24:03had a look at

01:24:04it, but maybe

01:24:04not.

01:24:06I repeat,

01:24:07Steph's books

01:24:07would still be

01:24:07worth what he

01:24:08charges at five

01:24:08times the price.

01:24:09Hey, that's

01:24:10funny, because

01:24:11they're free, and

01:24:12nobody's ever

01:24:13heard that joke

01:24:13before.

01:24:14Well done.

01:24:20All right, well,

01:24:21we will stop

01:24:21here, and sorry

01:24:22for those who

01:24:23could not find

01:24:24by the time the

01:24:25show goes out.

01:24:26I'm sure it

01:24:26will be sorted,

01:24:26and you'll be

01:24:27able to go to

01:24:28premium.freedomain.com

01:24:29and get it

01:24:31there, but yeah,

01:24:32there's no point

01:24:32having it if

01:24:33people have to

01:24:34dig through the

01:24:35history of locals

01:24:36to find it.

01:24:37That's not going

01:24:37to work at all.

01:24:38Might as well

01:24:38not have done it.

01:24:39So we will get

01:24:40that sorted, and

01:24:41I'm sure we'll

01:24:41look for other

01:24:42things that should

01:24:42be up there that

01:24:43are not, and

01:24:44appreciate your
