Long Summary

In this part of the conversation, I reflect on my recent success in playing pool and how it feels like unlocking a hidden talent. I compare it to learning a new language and experiencing the thrill of fluency. However, I acknowledge that not everything in life changes as easily as mastering a skill.

When I delve into philosophical thoughts, I notice that they have a profound impact on those around me. They often find my deep thoughts overwhelming, but I can't help but contemplate these existential questions.

Lately, I've been deeply concerned about the spiritual emptiness I see in many people. It seems as though they have lost their individuality and have become mere followers, blindly adhering to societal norms and behaviors. This observation leads me to question how many people are truly alive, intellectually curious, and capable of critical thinking.

It saddens me to think about the low percentage of people who are open to changing their beliefs when presented with new evidence. They seem stuck in their own rigid perspectives, resisting personal growth and new insights. This resistance frustrates me because I firmly believe that open-mindedness is crucial for personal and societal progress.

Before concluding, I want to express my gratitude to all of you who are listening. Your support means everything to me, and I appreciate each and every one of you. I would also like to remind you to tune in for our upcoming show, promising an exciting episode. If you enjoy our content, please consider making a donation to help sustain the podcast.

Once again, I want to thank you for your unwavering support. Until next time, take care of yourselves and never stop nurturing your curiosity!

Transcript

[0:00] Welcome to your Friday Night Live, 27th of October, the day of the Tribunal of Allah.
What is it? The end of the year is going to be 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, this year?
Isn't that great? Got me an annual subscription, says Richard. Even better, since most who like probably won't comment or donate.
Listen, if you sign up for a monthly, sorry, a yearly, you get two months free. So that's good. That's good.
Let's see here. Somebody says, sorry if I wasn't clear about my donation promises, I didn't mean to mislead, but JFC, you are at least coming across to me as unnecessarily vitriolic.
Let's start to stream on the same team for philosophy, brother.
Does that not seem unnecessarily complicated to you? Does that seem unnecessarily complicated?

[0:57] I don't know what that means. All right, let's see here.
Philosophical take on the weight loss drug, Ozempic.
Do you remember, hit me with a why if you remember a drug called Olestra.
Do you remember Olestra?
Do you remember why people, yeah, it was anal leakage, which was, you know, it's a fine name for a vitriolic punk band, but not so great if you're say, on a date.
My imitation of a guy on a date experiencing anal leakage.
So yeah, there I was, I was in the.

[1:40] Excuse me. There you go. That's your acting. That's your acting for the evening.
There's my Brando moment. This is why I went to acting school. Oh, the acting.
Putting the acting in acting. All right. So let's see here. What do we got? Yeah, listen, Listen, I'm all for you guys tonight.
I did my thing yesterday. So, I don't know, weight loss drug, just stop fucking eating.
Just stop eating. I don't, I mean, everybody knows what to do.
Just eat less and exercise more.
And then hopefully you don't end up with those sacks of flesh hanging down like a loosened sail from a storm.
So, yeah, let's see here.
If you had a monobrow, would you perform regular plucking?
A monobrow?
Do monobrows go with blue eyes? I think monobrows are pretty much a non-blue-eyed phenomenon. All right.
Let's get some stream shares. That's right, Josh, you were absolutely correct.
Absolutely correct. Share it out, share it out. All right.

[2:59] Let me just scroll down. Do you have any insights on how much caution or prudence is too much when making big decisions?

Balancing Caution and Fear in Decision-Making

[3:05] Is there a healthy balance between being reckless and being fearful?
Well, Nate, ask me how I know you didn't play unsupervised outside as a child very much.
Nate, did you in fact get a lot of anarchic free time playing outside with other kids and or yourself but completely unsupervised?
Let me just make sure I hang on to this question. Why am I asking this?
I'm sure everybody knows.
Taylor, I will get to your question too. How do we learn?
Just finished the Fountainhead, couldn't help thinking you are Rourke 2.0, but I appreciate that.
Not quite as skinny, but I'm fairly good at badminton, so.
Comments on the main shooting? Yeah, I'm happy to talk about the main shooting, if you like.

[4:04] Not really, although I was homeschooled. Right. Is the Peaceful Parenting book available as a PDF? No, not yet.
So, how do you learn as a kid, or how do you learn as an adult to take risks?
You take risks as a kid.

[4:25] You take risks as a kid. Hit me with a why if you took all kinds of insane risks as a child and learn how to balance, risk and fun and danger.
Right. So, this is one of the big problems, like, if you see the delicacy of the younger generation, You know, there's this sort of famous video on Twitter of this woman who's saying like, I can't handle this nine to five thing.
Like I've got this commute, and it's long, and like, I'm not designed for this.
And you know, I'm too tired in the evening to do anything other than make my own food and go to bed. And I can't have a social life. And I can't find a boyfriend.
And people are like mocking her. And it's like, well, well, first of all, the amniotic sack of higher education, you know, listen, man, come on, we got a smart crew here. We got a smart crew here.
If you're smart, how tough is school and university? If you're smart, how tough is it?
I mean, it used to be a little tougher.
Now the standards have just bleh, right? I mean, it's easy, easy peasy.
It's easy peasy. You can do it in your sleep. It's trivial. It's boring.
I mean, the thing you have to... Yeah, I didn't even go to class in university.
Just went and took the test, yeah.

[5:41] It's pretty easy. Now, I remember when I first started looking into university, I'm like, what?
What? Like 10 hours of classes a week, are you crazy? I'm like, are you crazy?

[5:56] I didn't show up for high school and got high marks. Yeah, yeah.
I mean, hit me with a why if you did homework when you were in junior high and high school.
Did you do homework? Did you do homework?
No, of course not! What were you doing instead of doing homework?

[6:14] I mean, you know, I mean, big tests or essays or whatever, you do that shit, but of course you don't do homework because you're out with friends, you're doing fun stuff, you're learning how to dirt bike, you're jumping stuff, you're going garbage picking, you're going down and cooking beans on a fire in the woods, anything else, right?
I'd rather stare at wall. And I experienced homework as a kind of intrusive anal slavery.
Intrusive anal slavery.
Honestly, it just felt like a slow bureaucratic rape of my innards. It's just...
It was a matter of pride to not do homework for me. Not that I'm suggesting it for anyone out there, but no, it's just a matter of pride.
I read something... What did I read the other day?
It was pretty funny.
It was pretty funny. said, what's the most extreme sport there is? And it's like doing homework while the teacher is collecting it. Yeah, homework is like, fuck you, I'm home. I hate school. You're boring as hell. Like, the last thing I'm going to do is do it at home as well. Oh my God, are you kidding me? It's just a matter of pride. Like, no, fuck off. You've got to bekidding me. Yes, it's a pride thing, but not like they talk about these days. It's like, I'd rather do anything.
I mean, plus I had three jobs at times in high school because I was paying rent from 15 onwards, right?

[7:37] It's like, I don't respect it. It's bullshit. I'm not getting paid for it.
I'm gonna go play. I'm gonna go have fun or I'm gonna go make some money, but I'm not gonna sit here and work through this shit.
Oh my God.
I almost flunked sixth grade because I wouldn't do the homework.
Yeah. Well, it's even, I mean, the school has become even more retarded now.
It was bad before, but I mean, it's just ridiculous now Yeah, now I didn't mind it in university and I certainly didn't mind it in grad school because I was choosing my own topics and I loved to do it, right?
But, oh man The, um, I didn't do homework or go to class and you got a B average, yeah yeah, It wasn't quite as gynocentric when I was growing up, but it's certainly much worse nowBut yeah, It's like, did you have a, do they still have these, do you still have guidance counselors?
Are they a thing? You have guidance counselors? Is that a thing these days?
Just out of curiosity.

[8:41] Do you do you have guidance counselors yeah so the guidance counselor in my high school had a tiny windowless office with those horrible big brain to painted bricks.
And he had like one half flickering fluorescent light over his desk and he looked like just about the most depressed guy known to man i'm like yeah i'm really gonna take advice on a career from a guy who ended up here.
Absolutely, lay it on me man, can I be as successful as you? Maybe I can get, maybe I can be such a successful guidance counselor that they'll actually fix the light and give me a second pencil, oh joy!
Why? Why? Oh guidance counselors is absolutely embarrassing, it's absolutely embarrassing.
In gym class my teacher was 400 pounds and always had McDonald's. Yes, but I'm assuming that was pure muscle.
We had some pretty ugly gym teachers from the female side.
Anecdotally, my sister's becoming a guidance counselor. Her emotional control is abysmal. Yes.
Any guidance counselor that wasn't talking to you about Bitcoin can stick his whole head up his ass and yodel as far as I'm concerned.
It's just really sad.
Oh my gosh. Somebody says, oh I just got done with seven hours of school, two hours of wrestling practice, now I have to do two hours of homework.
Must just be lazy.

[10:08] Yeah, no, homework was just a battle of wills for me. It was just a battle of wills for me.
Like I just, I was like, okay, what's the, it was like a game, like an edge game, which, was how little can I do and do okay.

Avoiding Homework and Seeking Help Online

[10:27] How little can I do and do okay? It was really, really essential to me.
I just like, I wouldn't, I just wouldn't, I couldn't subject myself in that way.
Someone says, I found homework solutions online and just copied them.
Oh yeah, well, we didn't have, of course, the internet when I was a kid, but it was very much like, put your work up on the board and you go there, there, there, just put down some stuff and then you're like, eh.
You know, I kind of got stuck here. Did you ask anyone?
No, my mom was working. Oh, okay, well, yeah, yeah, yeah, right.

[11:03] Just sad.
We chat GPT surprised anyone is doing homework themselves these days. Yeah.
Yeah. All right, let's get to these questions.
What to do with American women who want money, i.e. allowances for things like their rent, their nails, being taken shopping, or paying for everything.
Wait, you're dating women who want money? Are you crazy? What are you talking about?
You're dating women who want you to pay their bills?
It's called being a wife and raising your children. Other than that, go pound sand, lady.
You gotta be kidding me.
Is that a thing?
Is that a thing where women say, I would really like you to pay my bills?
That's a thing?
No, really? Women are straight up just saying, pay my bills?
That is hilarious.
It's called being a sugar baby?

[12:17] Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't have anything to do with a woman like that. Ahem.
There was a guy, he was pretty funny, this was on Twitter, somebody was saying, let me ask you this, so if this was you, right, somebody said, when I'm bored I message the hookers on back page and see if I can get them to do manual labor.
And so there's a text message where he says, hey, what are your prices?
And the woman says, $100 half hour, $150 for an hour.

[12:50] And he says, and you'll do anything I want? She's like, yes, puppy. Okay, good.
I have a really long fence that needs to be painted, shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes.
I have cash." And she's like, like an actual fence? So he just tries to get them to do manual labor.
What would you ask them to do if you had that? Like, what would you ask them to do?
Hey, my Christmas lights need hanging and it's kind of icy, so if you could bring a ladder that'd be fantastic.
Can you call the prostitute and ask her to bring a ladder? You'll need it to mount my penis on the wall like a trophy.
So I thought that was pretty funny.
So yeah, I wouldn't have anything. De-grease the stove. That's right.
I need you to bring a little French maid outfit. Why?
Is that your fantasy? Yes, that somebody will clean my house. That's my fantasy.
Listen, can you clean my gutters? That probably means something in the S&M world that we probably don't even want to examine.
Do not figure that out.
Them wear watermelon helmet? Yeah, I have four more elastics put around my watermelon for my chick knock video, I kind of need you to do it.

[14:04] Yeah. I like ping-pong! No, that's not code for anything, just come on over and play some ping-pong. Oh Lord, I, you know, scalding your ears time, I was watching this woman, she was on Twitter and she was talking about how she hooked up with some basketball player, but he didn't want to have sex with her, he just wanted her to eat his ass.

Shocking and Vile Experiences Shared on Social Media

[14:30] I don't even know what that means, I don't even wanna know, but she was saying the next morning she woke up and she's like, damn, I have pink eye.
Pink eye from the stink eye. Oh, and I'm like, please Lord, Gabriel, please blow the trumpets, it's time.
I don't care if it rains for 51 days and 51 nights, it's like, please, let's just, I can't handle this stuff anymore. The stuff that's out there is just almost too vile.
And she was just like giggling and laughing about it and all that, right?
Yeah, no kidding, nasty stuff. Nasty, nasty stuff.
Somebody says, oh yeah, somebody says, somebody who was a sex worker said a friend of hers, a guy bought an hour of her time and then asked her to just list all of her biggest regrets.

[15:14] Of course, she ended up in tears, right? Gabriel blow the trumpets.
Yeah, that meme is pretty... Okay, comments on the main shooting.
It is new and still hard to interpret, so no one worries if you skip that.
Do you care? Do you want to know my thoughts about the main shooting?
Is he still at large? He's still at large, isn't he?
I think that there's some explosions at his house or something like that or nearby his house, so he could be...
So I think he's an ex-soldier and he was, of course, in an institution and as far as as I remember, and he threatened to shoot up places before, and he also had hearing problems, so he got fitted with a hearing aid, and then he started hearing voices, and apparently some of the people he shot were deaf people who he thought were making fun of him, and of course, he was on all of the big pharma drugs known to man, I'm sure, that that would be, and nobody will ever talk about the connection.
And for more on this, you gotta watch my presentation called The Destruction of America's Mental Health Care System.
They just, it's one of the basic Marxist things, right? They just, they empty the jails and they empty the asylums.
And yeah, I mean, this guy is, was an obvious threat.
He developed schizophrenia apparently in his 40s, which is kind of unusual.
I think it's more of a 20s thing, but yeah, I mean, he should be on everyone's radar.
He'd made violent threats and was hearing voices telling him to kill people.
And of course he shouldn't have been out, but he's out because it benefits the government, right?

[16:43] Oh yes, that's right, if you could tip, I'd appreciate that.
I mean, if you tipped last night, just sit back and enjoy, but if it's been a while, if you could tip here, you can tip on the app, I would really, really appreciate it.
What do I talk about with my woke daughter?
Oof. Oof. It's a win-win for them, make money in pharmaceuticals, and then push for gun control. Yeah.
Yeah.

[17:10] I will tip the number of likes at the end of the stream live only.
Thank you very much, Josh. I appreciate that. It's very kind.
This kind of event in psychotropics seems to be a recurring theme.
Well when you get more power from people feeling in danger, you have no incentive to keep them safe.
I'm sorry, it's just, this became sort of boringly predictable and ridiculously repetitive, And there's no point being right too early.
You just get arrows in the back and no bouquets at your funeral. So, no thank you.
I'll just wait for the world to catch up.
It'll never pass us by, but it'll slowly catch up. Come on, you can get here, you can get here.
All right. Close those questions were answered. What else do we have here?

Low-cut Tops and Financial Status in Relationships

[18:07] Low-cut tops are for men as fat wallets are to women.
I don't even know, did I just type that myself? At some point, I don't know where that came from.
I don't know. So what do you talk about with your woke daughter?
How did your daughter become woke?

[18:30] College? Who paid for her to go to college?
Did she get a scholarship or some sports thing? How did she, you didn't pay for her to go to college?
Oh, she got a scholarship, all right. What did she take in college?

The Importance of Having a Father Figure

[18:54] Oh, she's a registered nurse, is that right? Did I get that right, RN, is that right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, would you like me to give you the speech that I would give should my daughter be woke?
Would you like me to give the straight up speech?
All right, don't give me your daughter's name, just give me a name.
Give me a name for a daughter. I'm not feeling super creative from that standpoint tonight.
Tammy. All right, Tammy, Tammy, Tammy. All right, quick question.
Sorry, just before I do the speech.
Matilda, Matilda, Matilda, she take me money and run to Venezuela.
All right, is her father in her life? Is her father in the home?
Is Tammy's father in the home? No, has her father been part of her life growing up?
Never has been, all right. Has she had a father substitute of anything like that?
Yes, okay, all right.

[20:17] All right, so I would say something like this. Tammy, great to see you.
How are you doing? Come on in, come on in, come on in. Yeah, what's on your mind?
Yeah, oh, I agree with you, man. There's a lot of injustice in the world.
There's a lot of injustice in the world, for sure. I mean, a lot of beautiful things.
Yes, there are some groups that aren't doing as well. There are some groups that are doing better, some groups that are doing worse and so on.

[20:43] It can be like a real substitute for personal virtues to worry about big social things you have a little influence over.
I mean, you know what I mean, where you say, okay, rather than figure out how I can be good in my life at some cost, right, virtue has to come with some cost, otherwise it's just like a flapping noise of wind in the sails.
So the good that you can do in your own personal life, you know, like, I'm really sorry that you grew up without a dad, dad was like not great, not great at all.
That was a huge mistake on my part and has had really, really negative impacts on you.
And I'd really like to hear more about those negative impacts because it was just really, really negative.
And I love that you're going into the helping profession. Like you're really gonna help people.
I think that's wonderful.
But here's the thing, you know, I know I don't have a massive amount of credibility as a single mom.
And I'm aware of that, and I'm humble about that, but I hope that I have some credibility in that I've made mistakes that you can learn from.

[21:46] I know, the last thing I'd wanna do is like, oh, I'm so perfect, I'm so good, you should listen to me.
I know I've made a lot of mistakes, but it would give some comfort to me.
It's a personal favor to me, man. It would give some comfort to me if my mistakes could instruct you.
That would be incredible for me, because that would be some kind of redemption.
And again, personal favor, I'm asking personal favor if you're listening a little bit to what I did.

[22:16] What it cost me and so on.

Personal Virtues vs. Social Responsibilities

[22:19] It's the personal virtues that really matter.
The social stuff, you know, obviously it's kind of outside of our control.
It's like me getting real revved up over, man, they raised interest rates.
It's like, what can I really do about it? Now there's injustice in the family.
I married the wrong guy, your dad didn't stick around, big problems as far as all of that goes.
That's what we really need to heal, right? That's what we really need to heal.
Now, healing the family, healing this single mother structure, that's gonna set up to replicate in you. Like you know that, right?
My mom was a single mom, I'm a single mom.
The odds are you're gonna have some kind of tendency towards that, and that's really unfair to the future kids.
Just as me being a single mom was unfair to you, It's unfair to your future kids.
And so we have to kind of figure out.

[23:10] Why did I become a single mom? And I know, I know why. I mean, you know, one of these things it's like ridiculously obvious when you look back, but it to me was not at all obvious at the time.
The reason that I became a single mom and you grew up without a father is one thing and one thing only.
I genuinely believed that I didn't need a man. I swallowed a lot of propaganda.
My mother genuinely believed that.
And what does it mean when you say, I don't need no man, I don't need a man, I can make it on my own, I'm strong, independent, trademark, whatever, right?
What does it mean?
Well, there's kind of two things. One is that, I mean, let's be honest, right?
You didn't grow up with a dad providing, so who provided? Well, the government, the taxpayers, the government jobs, the subsidies, the rent control, the SNAP, whatever it was that we used.

[24:22] So I kind of did need men, I needed men to pay taxes, so that I could get money for you.
So I didn't need men in that sort of really practical foundational pay the bills kind of way, number one.
And number two, I just, I mean, I had this really rebellious streak that I just wasn't going to subjugate myself to a man.
It just felt like humiliating, it felt like being a slave, it felt like being wrong.

[24:52] And you know, that's the funny thing is that it's my biggest regret, like I'll be straight up with you, it's like my biggest regret is when I said, I don't need a man, I was also saying on your behalf, you don't need a father.
Those two things are very different. Obviously I can choose to live without a man, but then I didn't choose to live without a man's resources.

[25:19] But for me to choose to live without a man is entirely different than choosing for you to grow up without a father.
Without that bond, without that security, without that protection, without that positive view of man.
And, you know, to be honest, over the years I probably let rip a little bit, or maybe not just a little bit about your dad and, you know, you're half your dad.
So when I ripped on him, I ripped on you, you know, kind of at the same time.
And it was not right, it was just frustration.
And shame, shame, shame, shame, shame. You know, the fact that I couldn't get him to stay, I just like, I couldn't get him to love me.
I couldn't get him to commit.
I wasn't enough for him, you weren't enough for him.

[26:24] Together we weren't enough for him and he, he left now that's left a big wound in my heart.
And I don't, I mean, I filled it with resentment, I filled it with anger, I filled it with sometimes the wrong guys, the wrong activities, the wrong behaviors, the wrong habits.
And now, I mean, I'm, I wanna be like, you know, really brutally honest with you and tell you, what I'm thinking now.

The Need for a Reliable Man in Difficult Times

[27:07] I do need a man.
I mean, it's too late in a sense for you to be, I mean, obviously it's too late for you to be raised by a dad and I'm really sorry for that, that's 100% on me.
But I'll tell you, this is like, I'm not proud of this, I'm not proud of this, I'm just telling you straight up where my heart is.
I need a man because, and this is something I really want you to learn from, this money's running out.
Like this tax money, this government money, you know, they've got about six and a half million wars going on at the moment.
They're pillaging the treasury left, right, and center. Their debt is escalating and I'm, I'm frightened for my future. I'm frightened for danger.
Frankly, men are kind of better equipped to protect, women from danger than the other way or women alone.
And I'm scared, like I'm scared of there not being the money.

[28:17] And when the times were good and the money was flowing and whatever they were doing with the money borrowing and printing and all that kind of stuff, it felt good and it kind of dragged me into I don't need.
Now I'm worried, I'm scared. The violence seems to be increasing and the money seems to be decreasing.
And, at least my children are grown, but you're going to have kids, and what I really want you to think about, and again, I say this with all humility, and I almost don't deserve you listening to me on this, but I really, really feel a desperate need and urge to get this across. I need you, I want you to choose a guy.

[29:11] Like you're in the wilderness. I know this sounds weird. I mean, I know it sounds weird, but I want you to really think about this.
I want you to choose a guy, like there's no check coming next week.
Like there's no support. There's no old age pensions. There's no unemployment insurance.
You may not have a paycheck in a year. I want you to choose a guy who's gonna really stick with you when the times are tough.
I mean, I didn't choose a guy who stuck with us when the times were good.
But a guy who's going to be strong and a guy who's going to stick with you and a guy who's going to bond with his kids in a way that your daddy never did, a really reliable guy.
Not just a pretty guy, not just a tall guy, not just a muscle guy, not just a handsome a guy who's really gonna velcro bond.
I mean, I was able to kind of sail through on all this funny money business, and I'm not proud of it, and it wasn't the right thing to do, and Lord knows it gave you the wrong impression of what a family is.

The Fragments of a Broken Family

[30:23] Sorry, I'm gonna make this about me. It's not about me, it's not about me, it's not about my feelings. It gave you the wrong impression of what a family is.
A family is a mother and a father who are welded and bonded and devoted to each other in one flesh and welded and bonded and devoted to their children, one flesh.
We didn't have that. We were like leaves in the wind blowing all over the place.
I lived, you know what I did? I lived, I lived frivolously.
I lived unseriously, I lived vacantly, I lived shallow.

[31:10] Do you know how much I need a partner right now?
I can't even tell you, like I'm aching. I wake up at night and I'm aching like there's a vacuum in me that can only be filled by, someone who's gonna be there for me and I wanna be there for them as well.
God, I want that for you. There's almost nothing I wouldn't give to go back and get a do-over and show you the kind of family that I want you to have, not the kind of family, the half-family, cut-off family kind of half mutilated and dismembered bits.
The future is not going to be like the past, and you are not going to get the same continuity of resources that I had.
And that's good. I know that's scary, and I'm scared of it. I'm actually quite terrified of it.
You know, that get a dog, die alone stuff is really, really scary to me.
And the idea that I'm gonna have a pension in 15 or 20 years is kind of incomprehensible.

[32:35] And so you're playing with all of these injustices in your head, and I don't want you to miss the biggest injustice that you experienced, which I think is kind of leading to all of this stuff, which is you grew up without a father.
I chose the wrong man.
I'm terrified, and you are going to need a man. If you want kids, I hope you want kids.
Having you was the best thing in my entire life.
I hope you want kids. I hope I haven't taken that from you.
And I'm really scared, honey, that you've been told that men are bad, that men exploit, that men are tyrants, that there's a patriarchy, that you're gonna have a really negative view of men.

[33:28] And that's on me. I mean, I can say, oh, it's a school or it's TikTok, but that's on me because I didn't choose a guy stuck around so you're gonna have a negative view of men but you still, I mean, let's be frank, you still have a sex drive and you still, you know, want to pair a bond and you want kids.
I chose the wrong guy. That doesn't mean that there are only wrong guys, there are really good men out there.
We haven't seen as many of them as we should and I'm only realizing this like, God, I mean, It's too late for me, that sounds so dramatic.
I mean, but it's certainly not too late for you in terms of getting the family that you want.
So I'm concerned that the stuff that you believe is gonna lead you to think that there aren't good men out there, and then you're gonna end up in the same situation, but it won't be the same situation because there won't be the money, or the stability or the security there that there was for me that allowed me to make all these bad decisions that I desperately don't want you to make.
Even if everything was the same, I wouldn't want you to make these terrible decisions, but things aren't going to be the same.

The Importance of Planning and Choosing Wisely

[34:35] This is a joke about men thinking about the Roman Empire. Read that shit.
Sorry, read that stuff. It matters.
It matters. You got a plan like you can't get anything for free.
Who would you choose? What man would you choose if you had to plan that you couldn't get anything for free?
Everything had to be made or bought or traded or provided or created or grown.
I really want you to, because a lot of the stuff that you're into, and I sympathize with it and I understand it and I feel with you about this stuff, I really do.
But a lot of the stuff you're into, it's just, I don't want to say it's playtime, like it doesn't matter. It's serious stuff, I get that.
But it's kind of, I hate to say indulgence, it's not an indulgence, I'm really, like I'm scanning to get the right word here.
It's not that it's an indulgence, it's that it's stepping over. You know what it is?
It's stepping over to push marbles around, but there's a giant chasm, right?
And the giant chasm is we need a better family structure.
We need, you need a man. I mean, I need a man, that's my job, you need a good man.

[36:01] And what lulls you, it's like a demonic thing, like these breadcrumbs that lead you off a cliff, is that, oh, you don't need, you get stuff for free, the government will provide, there'll be pensions, there'll be a job security, there'll be unemployment insurance, you'll get mat leave, and I'm telling you, I don't think that stuff's gonna be around as long as we think it is.
And I wish, again, I don't wanna make this about me, Again, I don't wanna make this about me, but I really wish that I had made my choices, as if that stuff wasn't gonna be around,because that stuff being around, really did not at all help me make a good choice, about the father of my children.
It drugs you, this free stuff, it drugs you. And I really want you to choose a guy like there's no free stuff, because I don't think there will be.
And it's one thing now that you're grown, if you have a little kid and you choose the wrong guy and he takes off, which would be half on me, and then the free stuff dries up, oh my God.

[37:16] You know, Rome, back in the day, went from like a million people to 17,000 people in like six months.
Oh, it could never happen here, but it does. It happens all the time, all throughout history.
Average life of a civilization, 200 years, 250 years, over and over and over again.
We're not gonna escape that. We all know that.

The Consequences of Chasing Away Good Men

[37:40] There are good men out there who will provide because that's what men do.
And we've chased them all away with this addiction to free stuff.
We don't need them. They don't matter. To hell with them. We can get by. Just us.
We're cozy. We're tight. We're sisterhood.
It's all a lie.
And you're young and you're pre-kids, you can make those right choices, those better decisions.
But live like everything you need is going to have to be provided by someone who loves you.
You know, that's what's missing. You get all this free stuff, but nobody cares about you.
They're just buying your votes. They're just leading you down a terrible path.

[38:41] I want you to, I mean, again, I know I have no right to say this with any credibility, but I'm just telling you, I really desperately want you to live like everything you need has to be provided by someone who loves you.
And don't get into a relationship unless you're sure of that.
And please, I'm begging you, don't have a child unless you're sure of that.
Now, if you have that, and you have a secure family that can weather almost any storm, and you have that bond, and you've healed that giant wound within the family that's been going on, I don't even know how long.
Then, when you have that, you can look at the injustices in the world and try and heal that.
But as a good example, and knowing what true love is, do you even know?
You say, well, I love the poor and I love the underprivileged and so on and I wanna help them.
It's like, I don't know that we know exactly what love is yet.
Once you have genuinely loved and you are in love and you have a rock solid family structure, maybe then you can go out and roam and help the world. But right now you're out there roaming and helping the world without fixing this wound right in our hearts.
And it's going to lead you to the wrong decision because the last thing I wanted to mention, Last thing I wanted to mention is.

[40:11] I want to be needed and I want to need someone. I don't have that.
I'm gonna try and get that. It's not your job, it's my issue.
But if you're hostile towards men and if you don't, if you think that there's a patriarchy and that men are bad and you don't need a man.
I mean, a quality man is desperate to be needed because needing is bonding and bonding is security and security is stability.
He wants to provide, he wants to protect, but he needs to be needed.
I mean, you wouldn't want to marry someone who openly said, I don't need no woman.
Women are just tyrants, nags. I don't need a woman.
Would you want to pair bond with someone like that? And my concern is that the, you know, this sort of worky stuff is like, it's gonna drive good men away at a time when this family absolutely, desperately needs stability.

Driving Good Men Away and the Need for Stability

[41:19] It needs security. What is gonna get us through the rough times ahead is true, deep, visceral, powerful.
Love, we're gonna need that.
We can't get married to the government.

[41:35] We can't rely on free stuff forever. That's gonna do something.
I don't know, I'm not an economist, but it's gonna do something in the future.
Ain't gonna be the same as the past.
You're gonna need a cushion. You're gonna need a protector. You're gonna need a provider and your children are gonna need it. And that's good and that's right and that's wise and that's healthy and that's needed in this family.
So that's what I would say. Tell me what you guys think.
Let me just see what we got here.

A Troubled Past and Absent Fathers

[42:24] My ex thought it was worth having a TV hit her in the head at a restaurant so her absent dad would get a payout.
Talking her out of that mindset Sort of proved to be a honey trap though, in hindsight. Yeah.
Taylor Swift is an anathema to fatherhood roles as is her followers.
That's my naked assumption. Maybe that's why your Twitter was X'd out.
Why is she an anathema to fatherhood roles?
I'm not sure.

Love and Appreciation: The Key to a Strong Relationship

[43:06] You're welcome, I hope that helps. A man would gladly walk barefoot through freezing snow to bring his woman a hot chocolate if he knows he is loved and he is appreciated.
Thank you Josh, I appreciate that tip.
Yeah I hope it helps, I mean we are going to need each other man, winter is coming, We are going to need each other in the years to come and it probably is not going to be more than a year or two out.
I mean, when you genuinely taste and imbibe love.

[43:55] Everything else is kind of nonsense, if that makes sense. Everything else is just kind of irrelevant and unimportant and all of that.

[44:11] All right. questions, comments, issues, challenges, problems.
How can philosophy help you?
The best, the most, the greatest.
Stop opening in the background, all these programs. I know, startup manager.
I finally did get Linux working by the way.
Somebody say, I would say because every song is about breakup.
However, one moment stands out in particular where the ex would listen to and drive aggressively.
I'm sure the hot and easy weather, access to food played a role too, and the fact that I dedicated the journey to her.
Sorry, Richard, that's a bit of a word salad.
Well, I mean, Taylor Swift is, I mean, she just became a billionaire.
I mean, she's a money-making machine, so nobody wants her to get married and have kids.
Everybody knows that a lot of their artists, a lot of artists' greatest work come out of heartbreak, And so they want her to make up and break up because that produces albums that make money for people.
And, you know, I mean, she's a workhorse for pulling the plow to make the money for others who don't have her beauty and talent and all of that, so.
What if you take the free giveaway from government and then use all that free time in some productive way?

The Morality of Taking Blood Money

[45:40] You're assuming that there's no cost to your soul, taking blood money in force from others.
No, no, no, I can do good with that. Yeah, well, what can I say?
You're just trying to lure yourself into taking free stuff as if there is any such thing as free stuff.
Now I can do good with these ill-gotten gains. Mm, yes. Go read Crime and Punishment.
Bingo, don't take the ticket. It's always a Faustian deal. Yeah, I mean, I wrote two novels when I took a break from my tech career.
If I'd had a bunch of free money, I just would have had less incentive and less hard work, right?
What do you think will be the tipping point for fiat collapse?

[46:40] I'm not sure what you mean by the tipping point. I mean math, right?
I don't know what you mean by the tipping point.
I'm happy to answer, but I don't know what tipping point means.
You know somebody who's a chain smoker for 40 years, what's the tipping point for them getting sick? Well, chain smoking for 40 years. I mean, what's that one?
You're going to find that one cigarette, it doesn't matter.
Nobody knows. You get one cigarette, you don't smoke that cigarette, you don't die of smoking.
You do smoke that cigarette, you die of smoking.
Nobody knows when that is, which is why you don't smoke. Some people it's early, for some people it's late, for some people it might even be never.
So there's no one thing that happens that makes this tip over, right?
What is the tipping point of an avalanche?
Well, it's just physics, right? But nobody knows exactly when it is or where it is.

Google Searches for Bitcoin Surge Globally

[47:42] All right. While I'm waiting for questions, I will read a couple of bookmarks which I have.
Google searches for Bitcoin have surged globally in the last three weeks.
Yes, very, very interesting. Have you heard this? Wife had some single friends over.
Conversation shifted to the type of men they're attracted to. All began to describe their dads.
Well, my dad is my height, so I don't mind shorter men.
My dad always wore a hat. I love guys in hats.
I have learned a lot.
So I think that's interesting. And this is what I wrote about in my book, Peaceful Parenting, which is, yeah, your father is your template for sexual success just as your mother is your template for sexual success because they've successfully given birth to you and raised you.

[48:39] All right, let me just make sure I'm not losing any questions out here.

[48:45] What about when the majority of society realize fiat is no good?
That's going to be after.
It's not before, that's after. You think people are going to realize fiat is not real money and then there'll be a collapse?
No, it's going to happen after. Good Lord.
Sorry. Here's the thing, like, hit me with a why if you love flossing your teeth.
Do you enjoy flossing your teeth, whether it's the water pick thing, or do you enjoy it?
Do you love flossing your teeth? No, of course not. It's kind of weird.
It's kind of, you know, I've got some real tight teeth back in there as I still have my wisdom teeth.
It's where all my philosophy comes from and my saliva.
But yeah, it's kind of boring, right? But you gotta do it, right?
Please floss. Please floss. Hope that's not a controversial opinion.
Please floss.
I have to stretch every night or I get jimmy legs, kind of boring kind of boring to stretch every night and sometimes exercise is kind of dull a lot of times exercise is kind of dull unless you step on a nail in which case it becomes quite exciting, so there's a lot of dull stuff in life and if you don't do it you're kind of screwed, right?
I mean all the people are like, oh flossing, no that's for the patty it's like okay, oh flossing, good luck with your denture-based lifestyle So, there's a lot of kind of stuff that's dull that you kind of got to do in life, right?

[50:11] Now, learning about economics is just kind of one of these things.
Now, there's a couple of people who are kind of freaky who love economics.
I just happen to find it very interesting because it makes the world comprehensible and it's not too bad for managing your money.
But a lot of people are like, economics is so boring. Who cares? Stuff happens.
It's all a game. It's all rigged. It's like, yeah, yeah, but it's a game and it's rigged and you kind of need to know it.
So, people are gonna end up learning about economics one way or another.
And they're either gonna learn about it and try and make better decisions, in who they vote for and what policies they support or in what happens when there's a crisis, or they don't learn anything about economics and they're like, oh my God, the grocery prices, they're so high, like, what is up with these prices?
They're just ripping us off, it's gouging. You know, whatever, right?

[51:05] Yeah, all right, so you're gonna learn about economics at some point, just like most people are gonna learn how to hunt deer in the shadows of the Empire State Building at some point.
That's from Fight Club.
But yeah, people are gonna learn.

The Inevitability of Learning and Understanding Economics

[51:22] People are gonna learn. Why are you storing up so much food for the winter?
I suggest you do it. Ah, don't be ridiculous. I don't just store up food for the winter. All right.
I'm not gonna argue with you.
I'm not going to argue with you, but I'm pretty sure you're going to figure it out at some point, right?
So, yeah, I get it. It's more fun to watch some TV or go dancing or go and show your T&A at the club.
I guess more fun to do that than it is to learn about economics.
Yeah, I understand that.

[51:56] Yeah, it's more fun to not floss than it is to floss, but I'll see you at the dentist next year.
All right, it reminds me of the story, a man drinks six shots with the devil on the deal that one shot has a deadly poison, but drink the rest and you get fame and fortune.
He drank five and refused the sixth, thinking he won.
The poison, the devil said, was in shot number three. Slow acting, he's already damned.
You never know where the safe line is. Yeah, that's right. This is back to the first question.
Yeah, grasshopper in the end, that's right.
All right, yeah, they'll put in price caps and then there'll be shortages, I mean it's all so boring, so predictable, so nonsensical.
All right, suggestions for working with the subconscious that distracts me from the dream project it is also motivating me to work on.

[53:08] A subconscious that distracts me from the dream project it is also motivating me to work on.
Are you thinking that your subconscious is one thing? Like it's kind of hypocritical?
I want you to work on this dream project, oh I'm going to distract you.
Okay, so if your dream project has any sort of depth or power or virtue in it then you're you're gonna be motivated to work on it, but everybody else in your unconscious is gonna be like, stop, don't, please, stop, right?
So I got a question today, which was, does philosophy have a unifying effect on culture? And I'll spare you the long speech, but basically it went something like this. Oh, absolutely, man.
Philosophy has an incredibly unifying effect on culture. It gets everyone on the same page, gets everyone to line up with the same goal and the same objective.
And the objective is to attack and destroy philosophy and philosophers.
So yes, absolutely philosophy unifies culture in the endless attack upon philosophers.
It's really great the way that philosophy brings everyone together.
Everyone drops their fighting and focuses on the common enemy, reason, truth, evidence, and wisdom.
So yeah, incredibly unifying, beautiful.

Addressing Hyper-Independence Stemming from Family History

[54:23] How do I tackle hyper-independence as a woman when it doesn't stem from hatred of men but concerns of financial manipulation, having a wretched mother literally kicked out by my father with nothing.
Mother was very manipulative and threatened to kick me out as a teen when I disagreed.
I know, but I need to date and get married and stay home with kids.
Is this just a trust issue? Okay, let me just make sure that's a, I appreciate the paragraph, but I wanna make sure I break it out.
How do I tackle hyper-independence as a woman when it doesn't stem from hatred of men, but concerns of financial manipulation, having watched mother literally kicked out, by a father with nothing?
So your mother got kicked out by your father with nothing, but you don't have any dislike or hatred of men?
Really? Okay, let me ask you this. Did you, or maybe we just need to do a call and you can email me, callinfreedomain.com, but, Did your mother blame your father for kicking her out?Because the way you say, kicked out by my father with nothing, it's like, well, what was she doing?
Why did he kick her out? Why was it so negative for him?
And why did she, if either he was an okay guy and she drove him nuts to the point where he kicked him out or he was a really bad guy, in which case, why did she have a child with him?

[55:41] All right, so yeah.
Hyper-independence, I mean, just read my novel, The Present, and watch The Journey of Rachel. Very independent.
You're right, she did blame him, yeah, of course. This is the most common response when people are harmed in some way, is that they remove their own agency from the equation and completely blame the other person.
And we all do this, everyone does this, it's kind of natural, it's kind of inevitable, at least based on the way we're raised, right?

[56:15] When someone is harmed, they remove themselves from the equation completely and 100% blame the other person. They play the victim, they pretend to be the victim.
And that's incredibly toxic for the children. Well, men, men will just betray you.
And it's like, okay, so you poison your children against men because you chose an asshole.
Right, you poison your children against love rather than take responsibility for who you chose, to be the father of your children. You literally cripple your children's ability to pair bondrather than take any ownership or responsibility for the very bad choices you made.
I mean, that's Aztec levels of child sacrifice, you understand, right?
Sacrificing your children's capacity to love and pair bond and choose a good father for their children.
Sacrificing, crushing, and destroying, disemboweling your children's capacity for love, on the endless altar of your own vanity and irresponsibility.
I'm not talking about you, I'm talking in this case, your mother.
Man, that's really awful.

Sacrificing Children's Capacity for Love and Pair Bonding

[57:30] That's really awful.

[57:36] I mean, if I had played the victim on de-platforming, do you know what that would have done to my daughter's, potential for any trust in society? You understand?
If I'd have been like, well, I just did everything right and I didn't do anything wrong and they just attacked me for...
I didn't take any risks and I just got blown up out of nowhere and blah blah blah blah blah. I'm a victim victim victim. Nope!
Nope, I got the inevitably necessary information out to the world got nuked for it, still make that deal again.
Still make that deal again.
Because now, everything that I talked about is absolutely coming true, but at least people know why.
At least people know why.
And sometimes, they'll nuke you, and then they'll commune with your ghost and say, yeah, you were kind of right.
Yeah, you were kind of right. And your hyper-independence, your mom wasn't.
Okay, so let me ask you this. This is back to the listener who gave me this, right?
So, how did your mother pay the bills after she was kicked out by your father, but nothing?
How did your mother pay the bills?
Oh, let's talk about all of this independence. How did she pay the bills?
So independent. How did she pay the bills?
Oh, is this the same person? Hang on.

[59:04] It's a little hard to... Oh yeah, okay.
So you say, I don't think I internalized a hatred for men because I recognized their flaws clearly and she threatened me with the same thing so they were the same to me. Or so you think.
Oh, so she threatened to... After your father threw her out with nothing, she threatened to throw you out with nothing when you were a child?
Is that right?
Extended family helped, she also dated. Okay. Okay, who paid the bills for the extended family?
Did the single moms pay her bills from extended family or was it more the men?
Just out of curiosity. It was the men, of course it was. Of course it was.
Of course it was. So where's all this hyper-independence? Oh, and she dated.
So she got men to pay her bills in exchange for sex, right?
Is that right? She dated men and they paid her bills if she had sex with them.
So I'm not sure this hyper-independence issue wasn't independent.
Women with children are never independent. Like they're never independent.

[1:00:22] Because somebody's gotta pay the bills. Somebody's gotta provide the kids dental care, healthcare, clothing, food, shelter, educational materials, education as a whole, or whatever they want to call it these days.
There's no independence.
It's just a question of who you depend on. Are you dependent on someone who loves you, or someone who feels obligated to you or somebody who's just buying your vote, by stealing from your children?

[1:00:53] So, hyper-independence, there is no independence. When you're a parent, there's no independence.
I'm not independent, my wife's not independent, we have a kid.
We're reliant upon each other. I mean, that's how it should be, that's how it is.
So this independence thing is a complete delusion. I mean, I'm happy to hear the case otherwise, but this idea that I'm just independent, that's That's what I was trying to get across in that speech, right?

The harsh truth about women's independence and the consequences

[1:01:23] To the daughter, you're not independent.
The only way that women can pretend to be independent is they're selling their children's future for food stamps.
They're auctioning off their children in return for rent subsidies.
I mean, I hate to say it, but it's a slave market. It's just brutal.
It's appalling. It's wretched.
Independent. Independent my ass. It's like saying my ass is independent.
No, it's not. It goes where I go. And sometimes it tells me where to go.

[1:02:00] Do you think banks would give out larger home loans over longer periods if automated homesteading became more cost-effective?
Sorry, Chris, love you to death, man. That is one of the least interesting questions I've ever been heard on this show.
Sorry, I don't mean to be mean. I really don't, but is that really the biggest moral issue in your life at the moment?
Would banks give out larger home loans over longer periods if automated homesteading became more cost effective?
Really, this is your big moral thing in your life at the moment?
Sorry, I don't know.
I mean, I try to get into the mindset of that and it could be a complete deficiency on my part, but I can't rouse myself to care and I'm sorry. And of course, you know the answer to that,that if homesteading was more efficient, then of course banks would give better loans.
So I'm not sure what you're asking and why.

[1:02:53] All right, any other tips for the hardest-working philosopher the world has ever seen?
Like the stream, that is right.
Like the stream, like it is golden water coming from the sky to quench your bottomless thirst. That's right.
Independence seems like a coping mechanism to avoid risks of bonding. Well.

[1:03:27] What percentage of single mothers remarry? Hit me with your guesses, you know you know, but what percentage of single mothers remarry? 10, 35, 80, no it's about 15% about 15%. Why do women profess to be independent? Why do women profess to not need no man? Why do they profess to be independent? Why do women, profess to be independent? What's the strategy there? It's not It's not accidental, it's very common, right?
Why do women profess to be independent? To save face because no good man will want them, don't trust a man, ain't got no dad, to hide the blood money they get from the government, society tells them that is the goal.
Yeah, but society sells them people that's slenderness is kind of the goal and people don't follow that, right?
So they don't look needy because they gain state resources. No, they get that either way.
All right, I will tell you why women...

Unveiling the true motive behind women's professed independence

[1:04:48] How base should we go? Minus 10 for super base, plus 10 for incredibly diplomatic.
Minus 10 to plus 10, I always know the answer but I always like to ask because it seems quite polite.
Should we peel back the gynocentric estrogen layers to get to the core?
Oh, we got a plus 10 here. I got a plus 10 from a guy whose shortened name is Dick.
Yeah, so the plus 10 wants to be diplomatic and not tell the truth to women.
That's what dicks do.
I get it. I get it. Says the dick. I want to get it. All right.

[1:05:29] So, the modern woman's dating strategy is to try and have sex with the highest status male she can in the hopes that he will pair bond with her.
Now, if a woman says to a man, if you want to have sex with me, you're going to need to commit to me, then she is much less likely to have sex with a very high status man.
You follow?
If the price of sex is commitment, then she's going to end up having to settle for someone on her own level of appeal and attractiveness.
But if she's like, well, I'm independent, I don't need no man, then she's going to be able to have sex with the highest status male, because the highest status male will view that as something extraordinarily temporary.
