where my dear, I coined the term not to be cured,
to actually name this collective condition, I call it ostrich.
Acidic syndrome. You I've talked about
This is not about another. That's a myth earlier that the boss,
yeah, it's become just a metaphor for our YAP, the myth being folks that ostriches, don't really stick their head and and its
it's really taken on a life of its own. At this point, I am actually thinking of studying this scientifically, not just as something that I talk about my public engagement. What is it
causes some people too.
Be more likely to be arrested, ties by the types of mindsets that would cause you to suffer from ostrich parasitic syndromes
SK example would be, which I guess we'll we'll get into
How much evidence do you need to see around the world that there might be some room

Imagine that you would need to see before you able to arrive at such a conclusion, and so one
please, I'm thinking of doing is to formally quantify a score of opiates. How much somebody suffers from what we have is a type of mindset and what are some predictors
that could help us understand who is more or less likely to be effect afflicted by this mindset, while there, sir
people that is never want to hurt anyone's feelings, except when they think that it is within their rights to attack that person, because that person is somehow another victimizing someone else and then they'll be far more?
Regis than the original offence? Did you know about the guy?
in Canada? That's getting sued while he, the Human Rights Council, find him
well thousand hours cause. You walked in his apartment of that he owned with shoes eyes.
As there was a muslim family living there there lease was up and he was looking rent the apartment. They stopped responding to his texts
and so he opened up the apartment to show,
does this apartment that he owns and because he walked into a building that he owns with his shoes on he has to pay them twelve.
Thousand dollars for failing to accommodate their religious practices,
while showing their apartment perspective. Tenants that's raised. Welcome to Canada. We just had a thing called. The motion am one or three are from over this.
Look at this slew the statement on sort in Russia, but the human Rights count Tribunal of two hour Ontario also found that he heard
ask them and created a poisoned housing environments right there. You go
You refused remove issues. Some sensibilities are more equal than others, but that is just what. Why is it
the people are so especially
particularly with Muslims like that. You will notice that there's a lot of people that are,
they will accuse everyone of Islamophobia, yet they'll shit on Christians, it's really common like they don't it's not that they believe
even religious freedom, it's that they have like a pet cause and the pet causes
like being a contrary into a lot of like far right people who were really terrified of Muslims like they're, trying to figure out,
had had a balance that out with their own ridiculous and left wing version of it. While I think there are two
stood one. Is that they're just afraid to criticise Muslims because they are greater repercussions to do so. Then too
criticise seventh. They haven't this, so just from a very,
six survival instinct, but I think, secondly, which is
a part of the ostrich preservation, almost speaking of There- also
of erroneous ideas that people have been infected with deep
beat them. The muslim religion is religion for the downtrodden, the the brown people, the exotic other and so too, to quit.
Size them when they are a hapless. Exotic minority is simply race,
and success and people believe that, even though most of the countries that these people are coming from when they come to the west, not only are they
The majority there, almost the exclusive majority myself so they are out of, I think fifty six countries that constitute the
Oh, I see the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, something like twenty, nine or thirty countries. The excuse
simply islamic. They are no longer any religious minorities. In the order of ninety nine point, nine something so to argue that people who come from these countries are you
Religious minorities want their religious minorities when they come to the west, but they're all coming from countries where
never mind the dirty majority. They ve never inter
acted with someone who did not share their faith. I think people
I understand that if that happens here like you, you can't turn back from that without violence. Right like
If I mean I'm not saying that it would happen in the United States, but the fact that it can happen anywhere means it can happen everywhere. I mean it
really can I mean it's it's it's big reach on my part to say that there is no evidence whatsoever that it's gonna happen here, but if you really,
look at some of the countries that are suffering under this. These
the oppressive religious ideologies where women are allowed to dry, where they have to wear,
covering all over their body. That signifies there are part of this religious sects like if that, if someone tried to do that,
I ll give you had some blonde hair blue eyed guy that made all women where a certain outfit and they were allowed to drive and they weren't allowed to have the same rights. How many people
be standing up for them and Crow aspires
if it was a new thing, something!
old things like old ideologies and legitimacy. So strange. What is that,
While it is accurate. You said you take an idea that someone holes if he doesn't cloak of Coca under the robe of religion, you committed to a psychiatric institutions,
if he says not on all. But this belief as part of my
religions. Suddenly you get a free passage grotesque, but to speak to your point about well that you are
stretching about it happening of United States you're, not
touching at all as a matter of fact, I have argued, for example, wondered when Trump one that, if you
look at a long term view of the issue of islamic immigration. If, if what you focus on is, do we have the proper vetting
processes to stop terrorist ISIS tears from coming and that's a very short term view of the problem, but if you recognise that societies will take often,
very, very long time before they become islamist. It's not as though every single country
today is a Slavic became instantly.
Overnight, the slump. In some cases it was a very, very quick invasion and other cases it took five hundred years
before, the demographic realities shifted, and so yes, if you look at it from the perspective of ten twenty fifty a hundred years, the U S, stands no threat but take a long term view. I love this quote from the I think was the Taliban who said that the United States have all the clock.
And watch as we have all the time in the world? In other words, inshallah? Eventually, God willing, we will concur you. So this is the right way to look at this issue
do you wish to have a society become more extra, moist or less.
Drawn other energy. At the end of every day,
can weigh yourself and one of three things is going to happen. You ve lost weight that they use
did not change a single out or you ve put on weight. So let's analogies this with Islam
When Islam comes into a place either the society gets better, nothing changes or gets
Worse. Do we have enough data this point after fourteen hundred years to suggest that we can try to bet what will happen to society,
the answer, regrettably, is yes again, I hate to have to preface, of course
Muslims, are lovely and peaceful and wished to simply raise their children, but
Islam as an ideology of comes into a new society. Is it a good thing? If, yes, let's all turn Islamic,
No, then maybe we should have an honest conversation about this, an honest conversations which really important because these things
get so emotionally charged like the infamous benefits
SAM Harris Debacle on Bill Marcia, but that to me,
is a perfect example cause SAM speaks in such a measured tone and
he's so educated about it, he's not making these big gigantic leaps but p.
But jump on him and call racism. He sent me some video, that's why
other day, were bunch people or just taking complete out
context. Statements attributing
to him ass being like this is what he believes on things when in. If you listen to the full extent
The conversation is literally saying like that. I'm gonna say
something here that could be taken out of context, but
I'm saying is like imagine if someone was saying this right, how
responded and they use that as a state. I mean
there's so much of that going on there so much so dishonest. While this there's this weird, not me thing that they're doing it's like they there, I'm not the racist
he's the racists and they get very you're racist, like depend Afflux thing like he was
that is so gross grow suited, so races like instead of just discussing
this conversation, I'm discussing this especially
the bill Marcia, because that shows
although shows is not to criticize that show, but all the shows we have a panel of six people. What you see is a bunch of people waiting to say something and they got to jump in and it's almost like. They have
be salacious, or they have to be outrageous just to get heard. You know, like everyone its
but those kind of shows promote this sort of disingenuous communication because you have to you can't be politely, United,
be polite as you and I we can talk,
and we can have these long
warm conversations, but on
show you don't have the time to unpack, what's wrong with all ideologies, all things that tell you how to think forget about whether or not you think it came from
Jesus or the prophet, Mohammed or Joseph Smith, any times it there's a doctrine that tells you how to think
because of some mystical present, some Goddard deity or profit, who has gotten the wizard
some of the universe and you men must not questioning and women have to wear veils and dress up like beekeepers and mean all that stuff is very, very problematic,
people are prone,
for whatever reason I mean some, I guess it's some something goes back to
tribalism and alpha male chimpanzee behaviour were prone to follow
to follow. Leaders may makes it easier and that's what
things you're seeing you well,
What's amazing is that it's one thing to attack SAM
because in the game of identity, politics, heave scores really poorly right, he's a southern California and white male who doesn't speak any of the languages,
that matter, arabic or someone and his parents had money that is barons had money. So I love that your parents had money. You sinner exactly. I only recently found out, maybe a year and a half ago,
Madame last at his mother. Is the creator
golden girls agenda that not enough to know that you happy, and I actually I I just looked at what
The golden goes that was we running and you see, I think it's Susan Harris or something but anyways
someone like me, who comes from the Middle EAST, who escape that reality. Someone like I on her. She alley had many people on my show out and how much you
but a lot of people who have all escape from this will either there's
still consider themselves muslim, but you know not you not muslim light, or ex Muslims in many cases
they will be attacks or imagine we are so. There is some woman who went to Wellesley College who doesn't know anything about Islam, short of whatever she learned in her bullshit progressive course. She,
were lecture to us. What true Islam is not the people who live there
not the people who ran away from it. She knows better because so it's really it's grotesque, its infuriate its stunning and its also
confusing cause like when you, when you see them, do it like I mean any time. Someone goes so far overboard that objective reasonings out the window in the universe
oh committed to whatever position that you're in there. You can't look at both sides of it. I mean I
could see why a lot of religious traditions would be comforting to people remind them where they came from, give them pride of their homeland of them a personal good feeling at their connected
sort of an ancient tradition. Brain is long,
it's not a pressing other human beings and others
to be some. I mean I actually cultural patterns of behaviour, the people
like celebrations like her fast or something like that, those things
You promote some sort of a pride like, I guess, a pride in Germany and their beer making and all that stuff without oppressing people,
but by the way this is a good segwarides. What you're talking about is something that, as upsetting meeting
days increasingly cell. So some people are now trying to draw a distinction between Islam and Islamism.
That is why I mention this, because Islam has two elements: there's a spiritual part right, which is you know, kind of like your throat
fast pray? This way, I believe, in a guy in a monotheistic on its own, but then within
Islam is a much larger component of politics.
Political Islam. So when you say something like, while you know we should be attacking Islamism as if it's something that is outside of Islam, that simply false Islamism. Is Islam right urged the one the Prime Minister of Turkey and I could quote many other
Islamic experts said: Islam is Islam, the term moderate Islam Islamism. All these other qualified are nonsensical. Now the reason why that
sets. Me is because it's it's, it grants people a false sense of security, and
hope Renal Islam is wonderful, but we need to attack this separate thing called Islamism while from day one fourteen
five years ago. Islam was Islamism, neither doesn't
that there isn't a spiritual element that doesn't mean that
most Muslims just wanted practice spiritual apart, but there is no set of doctrines and a separate book called
radicalized Islamism at all costs.
From the same text. It comes from. The Koran
from the had these and it comes from the sea,
rather biography of Mohammed. So so this kind of
false narrative that people are promulgate
so that they seem as though they are not frontal the attacking a religion while laudable
nice. I get that reflex its false and saw again to go back to our point of talking. Honestly, we need to
talk. Honestly, there is only Islam. Some people choose to practise it fully. Some people choose to ignore them.
Ugly part, but there is no such thing as Islamism. Islamism s part of Islam now,
you're a person that goes out of your way to say no, we're not talking about the kind sweet, islamic people that just want to raise their children knots.
Do you sort of manage those two ideas that are the same like one?
the term radical Islam gets thrown around right so radically.
Islam simply means I really take my
slum seriously right, it's got lost
price. A silly analogy if I don't eat pork, a my radical Jew, or am I a Jew right now? I have,
to be jewish. I simply ignore the kosher edict that says: don't eat pork, then why do you do that, though, because in my
case. I simply identifies jewish in the sense that Judaism as a multi attribute identity. It includes a shared history check shared,
yeah just a short time
raise its work,
one could argue to re salts considered in a lot of people, say writers, so I could still in the same way that you might identifies coming from Boston and there is a shared history from all people who grew up around the time that you grew up and
Stan and there is a sense of affiliation and
Tribalism ism. Would that reality being
jewish as far as I'm concerned and for most juice is exactly that we don't necessarily take the religious Ellen,
it's very seriously.
Does it mean that we are practising a light Judaism
or non radical Judaism were simply
ignoring those parts of Judaism that we choose to ignore. So there is no such thing as radical Islam. There are no books called radical Islam. There is a set of doctrines called Islam, and then I could duke what
Called cafeteria Islam, which is I pick and choose the parts that I wished to adhere to so again, the discourse
false narrative? I understand the reason for it, because people find it rather gauche to attack frontal the irreligion, at least that Islam, so they have to. I call this: the the the ISM magic aristocrat right
add, isn't the something it makes a bad Islam is good. Islamism is bad, barely
for you. I would like to defend you if there's a lot of people that are listening right now or offer up some and not not need,
defend you but offer up some information, I guess you grew up in play
swear being Jewish was lethal. I mean
You, your life was threatened, certainly when the civil war broke out prior to that, you could live in Lebanon,
Your people know that we are jewish, but no your place do that
by the way is something that I explain when, when discussing on a mushroom
discussions on the show it might be worth repeating. The have we discussed your passed in Lebanon, how you ok so but said
Not a demi is heavier that term. There are
explain what I mean to do again to saw so a dim me, as a third class citizen, comes out of chronic edicts. That basically said that
when Islam comes into our society. You basically have three choices: if you're, not a Muslim, you could either convert, you could either get killed or if you are people of the book, meaning Christians and Jews, meaning people of the book that you're also going to siesta key
or from abrahamic safe. Then you could live as a Demi Adam me as a protected class protected in courts. We tolerate you and
it's a tolerate you were going to remove
and you repeatedly of your subservient position now at different points across the last fourteen hundred years,
That mechanism was either instituted very forcefully or more lightly. On the complex of Lebanon, which is
which was a very progressive and modern country. In the Middle eastern context, there
somebody knocking on our door and levying Asia Pay
or else we're going to rape, your daughters, but you didn't wear a big star of David, because that might be construed as inflammatory. Just like the example that yourself
Are you sure you're hurting our sensibilities by pushing you
Judaism on us right, so your your status did not always have been threatened. In that my head is going to come off at any minute right. My parents grew up and lived there. They didn't die,
but once the civil war broke out, then it became legally they
Just to be? Jewish up? You are going to be executed. We left so you
ever know when we're going to go from
all the rating you to offer the heads
That's been the history for the past fourteen hundred years and so again when people think, but Islam is not there.
Bad look in Andalusia, Jew,
and Christians and Muslims used to walk around hand in hand and in Spain around the fifteen sixteenth century. Below me, yes
people were not being beheaded every day, but you knew your place. That's not equality and his
kind of interesting when you talk about this idea about how people are reluctant critics
eyes Islam, because their worried about the repercussions of this kind of speaks to
how rare it is that people do violate those principles in those countries, because if you
do. You have a culture that ninety nine percent Islamic, especially if they go by the book like every step of the way,
there's not going to be a lot of people that are stepping on the line for fear of the horrific repercussions now psychologically
this country you're, seeing now for some strange reason emerging from the left and emerging
from a lot of like really progressive colleges and universities, where they want to be almost the first ones to step up and saying. Don't criticized this one particular religion which is
very odd because it's the most regressive it's unbelievable. It's it's very to really strange position to be a progressive whose reinforcing the ideologies of a regressive culture that
very ancient, but what's incredible as that, they'll come up with ways to defend this cognitive inconsistency and hence that's part of the
switch. Parasitic syndrome allows mentioning what a what are some ways they defend so example. Let me just give you
you manifestations of ostrich logic. My friend Mohammed, is a very nice guy and he drinks, and he for decades, and he's very liberal, saw the idea
and becomes that, as long as I can identify a single exemplar of islamic person who does not otherwise adhere to what Islam
states? Then it's not true that Islam is bad now this is this
manifestation of a more general cognitive buys which goes like this. If I walk into class and say, look you homo sapiens,
are sexually dimorphism, our innate sex differences between the two sexes, men are bigger than women. Someone will put up their hands
But my aunt Linda is taller than my uncle Joe Oji. Darwin is dead right, so they they
then to fight a singular exemplar that is supposed to false
the fire, a statement that is only true, the population level. So there's so that's one example:
How much is nice? Therefore? Islam is nice, he's a second example. They point to a particular historical context: where Jews lived in islamic country
and won't kill. Hey. I've got sad youth of the Lebanon and you still have your head. The report that I usually give as well until they were going to cut off my head, but secondly, Jeffrey Dahmer. If you take a think he he was guilty of seventeen murders. If you take the number of days that he lived as an adult until he was caught
as a percentage of the days of that he killed somebody. Ninety nine point, whatever per cent of the days Jeffrey Dahmer, a lovely guy. So it's unfair for you to say
the generally dollars a mean guy, given that ninety nine percent of time he's nice. So what you have to basically do is take each of these ostrich logic, arguments and an hour
guys, how idiotic they are, but its very exhausting, because the bent, as you said, of all these progressive, is to do what ever they can to protect the ideology and so becomes exhausting to consistently have to try to fight through all their quota, and it's not
that it's it's not something that is structured with objective reasoning,
something that structured with their own particular ideology? That does not work
criticized this one segment of the EU
population that they think is being persecuted great and meanwhile, if you think about throughout
Currently in the world which ideology persecutes, the most number of other people suffer. If you talk about bloody borders, right, Islam has
fought with Buddhists, Islam fights with animus Islam fights with Jews, Islam fights with Christians, Islam fights with tibetan monk
so, in other words, Islam,
doesn't necessarily make for very good neighbours. Why? Because, again, notwithstanding the FAO
that most Muslims are lovely in just want to raise their kids is
as a supremacist ideology, it basically says that the world is meant to all be united under the flag of a law. Now some people take that seriously. Others don't
but the doctrines of Islam are very clear. We should all submit to Islam. So, even if nine
five per cent of Muslims dont adhere to that t tenant. If only five percent do that.
We're always going to have friction in some cases.
It'll be like Lebanon by the have predicted that in Europe this is on record. We can probably find it that in Europe within fifteen twenty twenty five
fifty years, we're going to have Lebanon all over the place and are now starting to happen right at one point we have
daily attacks all over Europe saw so again if you're going to increase
Islamic, is immigration to the west. Of course, most people
our nice and just want to escape to a better work, but are you willing to take the risks for what's about to happen? Are you willing to accept people who
cultural and religious values, are perfectly antithetical to you.
For example, if you do
pew surveys from around the Middle EAST or islamic countries about your views on Jews. While you get things like
ninety five to ninety nine percent jus hatred. So, if I am can, if I make an agent right, an ice
that fifty thousand Syrians are going to come in? Is it that I'm filled with her
hatred towards Syrians. Or am I simply someone who calculates that the sick irregularities and basically says that out of fifty thousand people if ninety five percent have in there
Jus hatred as part of their identity, though I have a right to be
So about this I am not worried about Haitians, their black people. I met racist
what about the vietnamese right, I'm worried about
the cultural and religious baggage that you bring in what about Europe,
use towards clearances or homosexuality or religious minorities or or black dogs. Darwin forbid, if you're a black dog, you know
dog them in Mohammed hated dogs, but he particularly hated black dogs,
so again, so what do they do it? Black dots go. Go
you'll see some pretty ugly animal cruelty, they're, not very tolerant towards dogs. If you touch a dog before you're heading to pay
this is called measures its impure by the way the Kuffar, the non Muslims are also measures there. There there there
in pure as urine and blood and sperm and feces so should I feel bad
that there is an ideology that considers me and impure quality now. Does that mean that all Muslims are like that, of course, not ninety nine per
none of the Muslims. I've met have been lovely
many of them are my friends, but we should be able to talk about what's inside those books,
and those books are not radical Islam there? Islam! Well, let me ask you this: what the
Turning to like save for syrian refugees means
kind carrying person. New
concern for our fellow human beings seizes p
fleeing and sees the horrific conditions that there can, that their confronted with
their own country. They really dont have a lot of options. They try. This
to the west, what what are the options? Would you
do. There are no clear answers. I would certainly say you first place them,
People who are most at risk in those societies on the front of the queue
so. You bring the OECD, women you bring. The Christians who are being
persecute women. But what about the father of the dad is with the wife and the child
and you can't just have the Father stay back behind it
asked me about the mom go to Toronto, what the kid Fetnah fair enough, but what what I was saying, though, is that let people who are non islamic horse fleeing
those area ice at the front of the queue first, but doesn't that isn't that religious
persecution mean, or at the very least its prejudiced write me your ear. You sing
when people out because of their-
ideology or because of what religion therefrom, not because of their past behaviour or any predictors whatsoever about their future behavior. But we do have
some statistical regularity about what types of values those guys are going to come with, so I'm not suggest
we closed the door right wooden that caught in a way I mean just by devils. Outrageous, wouldn't that in a way a kind of put the Muslims
in Toronto, who do emigrant, which, but a pick that city who try to emigrate to Canada,
in the same sort of a position that your family was in Lebanon, where you were hiding the fact.
Your Jews
No one has an inalienable right to an anywhere correct. So if you wish to emigrate to the west, then leave
if every single syllable that constitutes a belief, attitude, position value that is contrary to ours,
at the door and then welcome in my brother. But man is not a crazy thing to say to someone whose entire life and their ideology is a big part of their identity and
who they are like how they view the world's lets, the structure for which they interface with other human being? But if those values, let not suppose I worry with you in a way. I agree with you
Overall, when I talk about the entire human population than it would be wonderful if we did that, but from Indonesia
the individual we know about the trials and tribulations of people go through on a day to day life and religious freedom.
And a religious ideology in many cases helps people get through the pains of life. It helps them get through the struck.
I'm not saying that its rational, but
I am saying that in many ways its scaffolding for their own personal behaviour got it. You would have to then ensure that you'll religious practice is exclusively practice. Privately,
never should there ever be an intrusion into the public sphere. No asking for prayer rooms at the university. The example that you gave is the slight creeping jihad right. It's the slow. Its saw. My next book is called
tentatively. My change death of the west by a thousand cuts right is the idea that when you take again a parable of,
Frog, when you put it in boiling water and you do it very slowly, the frog, if you do it very very slowly, if it falls below, adjust noticeable difference, it doesn't notice that the temperatures is rising until it's too late and at worst there
right, so this idea of just noticeable difference is something that is very important.
This conversation, we're not going to get us
almost overnight, but Egypt before it became Islamic used to be non islamic once upon a time today, it's by ten percent coptic Christians,
Turkey is now ninety nine percent Islamic one day it wasn't IRAN,
wait. Version implies were not islamic. Today, it's almost exclusively islamic, so the United States
Canada are not going to become Islamic. You know
the next ten years, but give it enough time have on long enough.
View of history- and I worry about your-
grandchildren and mine, and so we that's how you,
an honest conversation and I'm not sure what
answer is one possibility which I discussed with folks on my show, who are trained lawyers is that their there are proof
visions in the law, at least in the United States, to the clear and ideology as being seditious. So in this
I'm way that you could say that Nazi ISM is seditious
do our values of communism. They are elements of Islam, the non spiritual parts that it doesn't take
it's time to recognise that they are perfectly antithetical to every single value that you and I will hold dear as westerners, so like one
what would be some of those values so take, for example, Shaggy Allah right, which is the islamic law by
which you organize society. The first premise of islamic law is that the crime, its severity and its punishment depends on the identity of the
perpetrator and the victim. So imagine the idea and the american constitution that justice is blind. While that is
Eddie violated as the most fundamental tenet of Sharia LAW. If a model
kills a Jew. It's very, very different crime, then
a Jew, kills a Moslem. You can just golden go. Look up, relies on the trial,
which is the English
translation of Sharia LAW and you'll, see all these things. So why should
We tolerate this kind of stuff. You right,
come in my muslim brothers, but keep the stuff that you yourself escaped from out of our
We don't want it and if you keep it out, come in and lets
grow together and how get out. But why should I,
be tolerant towards the intolerable. I agree with you in theory, but I think
The problem is as soon as you tell someone to not follow certain aspects of their ideology. Those aspects become even more attractive and especially if they
consider the west to be decadent and filled with sin and for indicating in drinking and all the other things if they think it's disgusting, and then these be
for other ones, are telling you that you can't follow the word of God is brought down by the profit from upon high it becomes
even more attractive to them? So what do we do?
What's so, what's your what drugs psychedelic drugs? Everyone gets on mushrooms and I'm not kidding
we have a really think any transcendent experiences to escape from the day to day vibration of normal life have not just to commit,
meant to reason and science? It would be wonderful if we could do that, but people are so terrified of death and they're, so terrified of the unknown and they're so tariff
I'd of not having structure people love having
ideological structure that they can govern their life by real, clear established rules.
And people get mad at me when I wear a fanny pack and I'm not sure
One of the reasons why, where it is because people think it's disgusting are getting, is this,
trusting that I will have a bag around my ways that I can keep my keys and phone in sleep, but we have structure you know
and aren't supposed aware. Sandals
of Euro man, you're wearing high heeled, open toad shoes. You will get ridiculed. Why? Because we have a structure and this
Actually I mean that's a bad example, but it's not really because it
along the same lines of thinking grass it we would expect you to behave like we do so that we don't
have to worry about your behavior. I, like gentlemen, like a man,
the Thai and assume, because I'm pretty sure that guy's not Gus spit at me and said
me and rob me. We have these,
ideas about people that dress and behave a certain way
if someone, if you're in a business meeting in a guy start swearing like woe all bets, are off
That's not establishing the gentleman's protocol he's not
following these standard business
oriented you know
I would just like to exchange with numbers in funds with you protocol, and so
understand what is behaviour is going to do, is unpredictable,
be a random streets with a hoodie. You know that was a thing for a while.
He bore scared of young black men with hoodies
cause. A gentleman would not we're hoodie on a street. That's a dangerous person. By way our brains have evolved to think this way, ice and snow
This idea, you're you're, asking me earlier gimme some examples of ostrich logic, so this gonna hashtag not all right here right now. That again is idiotic. Why? Because, when we think about it, let's not talk about Islam for second, if you're going down
Dark Ali and you see for young men, forget about hoodies and pants down just for young men, so all you describe as the fact that their young and their men
if you see for young men versus for elderly women, just because of your
statistical regularity that you'd calculate, which is more, which group is more likely to and part violence on you, then you might avoid the alley with the
for young men, even though not all young men right, even though the probability
see that a young man is going to jump you and gang rape, you, a mug, you and stabbed. You is a small one, but your brain has evolved to calculate the
the single irregularities and then
be very careful, be very risk, averse of and putting yourself in harm's way. So again,
even though most Muslims are very nice and very lovely, I think we have enough
right. Now, if we look at the last as us, two
and eleven and two thousand
one. Nine eleven there's been over thirty thousand terror attacks committed in the name of Islam,
I challenge anybody in your comments section to list me. Another ideology that comes remotely close. If you
up every single other ideology, since two thousand one you wouldn't come up to a hundred so
What is this a statistical numbers that you need to see before you're able to simply say, look let's
have an honest conversation notwithstanding that not all Muslims and most our nice is their problem with Islam. Yes,
not radical Islam. It's not Islamism, it's not militant violent extremism. Let's stop with the bullshit euphemisms. There are inherent elements. Contents within Islam that are
problematic. It's not my job to find a way to get rid of them. But if you wish to be part of our western societies, then you need to find a way to expunged that stuff. If you do it welcome my brother, we're all brothers, if you dont than Ike, I should show preference to be
who share similar cultural values? To me, that's that's called survival instinct now
about people that would say that there's inherent problems with the jewish religion is inherent problems with
subscribing to that ideology that there they have been persecuting islamic people in Palestine, that they ve been
succeeding in in treating islamic people as inferior to jewish people. That's
not me. I know you're, not necessarily saying, but that's part of ostrich logic. That's what I call but Mamma the Crusades right and it's not me. You actually came up with the button right, so every time would like, but much more like it's
it's a way of saying like by Bro.
What about the Crusades MA? Am you h, where's where's, that from I think I first sight and he'll be happy that I'm getting a shadow? I think
Are you Youtube? Who goes by name of tea and crowds or crowd and tease german youtube?
I am sorry I meant like does not from a language.
Journeys are not at all. It's like saying: Bro, lifestyle, exile, Buddhism, the crusade as soon as you as soon as you point to some Islam.
Ugly reality than someone points, but Broadway
about Israel, but isn't I followed, compares enemy Marilla, but your kind of claiming ideology right right mean, but when you're saying you jewish- and I support you saying a hundred percent, especially considering of all p,
Oh, you should be in some ways, proud of who you are considering that you come from a line of oppressed people that escaped a horrible situation,
no one is arguing that there is a monopoly of ugliness that only stems from Islam JUICE can in.
Agent ugliness Christians. Atheists settles the wiser
grabbed any ideology then, because in the case of
you, ve got about specifically Israel, any any ideology any by five to not necessarily Israel, which is a land, but I retired
Jack, all the religious elements of duties, and so so why are you jus? Because I am part of a people
a shared history, sounds like I'm italian irritably. I think you're a tyrant right am. I belong to the lineage and the same
by the way, I recently put up a clip on my channel where I talked about academically
so in the same way that you could build a genealogy of your family tree or of peoples, you could do what's cod
academic, genealogies, of example. My doctoral supervisor is my academic father and then I could look to see her
was his academic supervisor. Who was his academic supervise and do that martial arts is our right now, there's a direct lineage, exact and songs. I could literally go back to some of the founders in only three or four generations. Would someone
the pioneers of of psychology, and so I belong to that particular tribe. Right comes academia when it's
to my ethnicity, to my religious heritage. I belong to a group called Jews.
Does it mean that all the Google books, bullshit and Judaism I'd buy into I rejected. So it makes
already somewhat less dangerous in that. If
there are any ugly,
let's within Judaism, there simply not going to be instantiated, because I'm openly rejecting all that shit right, I am sent out years an individual me as an individual and most jobs.
Was in the west. I think, would fit into my category by the way. The later we should talk about four and a half hour talk I had with them
see the very religious do the flying took to want to California others on a second knife. Most Muslims said: look
there's tons of historical elements in islamic societies. That's beautiful islamic architecture. Islam
So some excite somebody how excited some islamic philosophy
You know there is one. The first intellectuals and in modern have big history, so so I could be
Muslim. In that I come from a shared lineage of people, and I could be very proud of that, but I can also have the moral compass and the moral fortitude to say, but there's stuff in my book, that is truly growth,
ask and no amount of obfuscation and in reality,
Operative dancing could alter that ugliness right. There's! No way to take kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, taken, espresso break
resumed, killing, there's no way to take that and reinterpreted using modern sensibilities to mean killing with caresses right. That's not play this reform came so be proud of your cultural identity. If and if that incorporates an islamic identity gray but reject all the bullshit right, and so I think that's where Judaism and Christianity at this point
somewhat different from Islam for most people who are islamic, even if they don't necessarily believe it there
you're very reticent to openly admitted that they despise a lot of the ugliness.
They'll say it's not true. It doesn't exist. You didn't understand that you misinterpret the Reza Aslan bullshit right bright, no, be honest about it say it exists, say you rejected and let's move forward, but stop office. Getting more than this
People like much it was who has? He identifies
being a Muslim, but he does reject those things, but he says that you could reform them.
Measured and I have had in case some of your views. Dont know this. I invited at one point measured to fork to chat and he refused because I think he refused- and I can't put intent into his mind but analyzing his rejection to chat with me.
I think it's because he sees that I'm going to call him out on a lot of his narrative boat. No one knows why someone rejects Hampshire,
The openly rejected, like he'd, has known in Europe in the future. However, I mean at this point I retract that invitation. So even if you wanted arrogant,
especially in Arabic. I'm going to use this for second imagine this is that a pan he's holding up and I'm looking at you for letting the people at home. Listen all sort vast majority Geisler imagined that

suppression and Arabic, which I'll say in Arabic, some people I've heard mentioned before the expression is this guy to bees. Bb discovers baby, is to get drunk simply by smelling the court cried so
Look, I'm smiling it I'm already getting drunk that's what my should know was. Is he he? He gets people drunk with his
Hopeful reform message.
So liberal that sounds so. Hopeful celebrated
so the expression you be scheduled bills baby. I can make that noise my face, but that this
Otto boosts the deck, but again it
yeah, let's get out of here now I just as do you want me to have the rest. This conversation and Eric had asked NED. I wish I could speak. It sounds cool
I surely what happens with a lot of the guests that I bring in on my show, who are arabic? We all,
always start off the start.
I shall speak
only in Arabic because to farmers
westerners its size, its soldiers. I, like my goodness that report so alien to the way his English, the sounds ride, but so going back to measure. I think what maybe his heart is in the right place. I don't I'm not I'm not trying to infer or or imply that you know his diabolical duplicitous. I think he probably truly but
Is that he's doing something worthwhile? The problem is that it's not as though
until measured? No worse came along. No one had ever thought about this idea of reforming Islam cheese. Really we never thought of that in the last fourteen hundred years, but the reality is that they are ill
whence within the doctrines of Islam that simply dont permit for this reformation to take place, and even if it
take place. We don't necessarily have the time to wait. Another form
hundred years while we deliberate how each syllable and each other
romantic. Passages should be reinterpreted while people spotty are being
backed up all over the world, and so therefore, I think that they should be
watch more direct intervention and what I mean by direct intervention. No, then
doesn't need to be reformed, doesn't need to be interpreted. It needs to be expunged. These types of ideas, if
Judaism has certain ideas that are belligerent to women.
Click services. Then I want those.
He hasn't Judaism out. They don't belong in the public.
Arena of ideas. That's it now how
The Christianity, reform and Islam did not. How would that go about happening, because
one point in time. Christianity Christiana
It was a very repressive religion and
pass to see the idea it was much more oppressed than today. Right now, like is low
was the only religion that I'm aware of me. Maybe there's more that I'm just ignorant too, where, if you leave them
religion they can kill. You absolutely. I mean that's like that's what God, why
Scott wants you to die because you don't believe in him anymore. We have always said that Islam is the perfect moment Plex. So I gave em over that
a meme flax now, so a meme is a term that Richard Dawkins coined and his book Nike
MRS held for shovel Jean. Thank you,
He was a knowledge rising. The idea of a gene genes propagate
correct, while means are packets of information that spread from one brain
another and so means also spread. We are both a biological and a cultural animal, both our Jean spread and our ideas.
So a meme is something that can go. So if you read my books, I am infecting you,
brain with my means with my idea of scrap a library is a collection of means, so a meme up lacks is a collection of means that in this
case- falls under a religious idea ideology while Islam is the perfect memo flax in what sense in that
its contents are made to spread. For example, Judaism
mentioned earlier, Judaism denominators earned will know our transport twelve. What not of external security
just knocked up agendas. Ok, let me say how any how many seven billion people in the world I would guess there would be somewhere in the neighborhood billion Jews, a billion Jamie on taking my five hundred million. Maybe gonna take a very conservative gas from a changed
five hundred million, I'm so glad that we did this you're going to be shocked. How many there is somewhere between thirteen to fifteen million.
Jews, Tasman that New York out of your fucking mind. Now, just look at our shut shut them. My gloves guys talk and create she's an agent, let let let Amazonas she'll let levies
Jamie now do is little Google magic, thirteen fifteen million
the thirteen fifty million there's more idiots in America than there are Jews, and that's only
Arkansas sorry guys, I'm just he's every Lydia
think about how many Nobel Prize Winners or June twenty five thirty percent incredible right and that that, by the way,
some people say there is a genetic elements, but even if he would go well
fourteen million two hundred thousand, I just as aged between thirty and fifty million. It's always perfectly accurate. What does the Enlarged reserve mean across the world most
the most, the largest number possible twenty million- that's like
given, that I've never seen twenty million. It's usually the eyes have seen a sixteen million says, cordial
wish and enlarge jewish. What is like, dude you get converted because their wife makes them at my uncle did that
bye bye straight with by such a conversion, laws that would not be allowed not allowed to convert for ulterior motives. What alternative rulers
He bought a Jew nursery spiritual, its spiritual awakening for he went to the whole process: unwanted Hebrew, school
process has to be for no ulterior motive. It had can't be because my wife would not marry me otherwise by thing
He did it because she wanted him to do and then he decided to do it because it is what I mean I get it baby. That's let's go. I saw they are
about thirteen to fifteen million Jews. They are one point: six billion Muslims, one fifth of humanity.
Two to every one jus there's a hundred muslim which
ideology is more successful based on propagation Islam or Judaism right.
Now. Why is not well take for exam?
for conversion laws free, as you said about, was your cousin. No, my uncle my uncle
in the way that he did it. As you said, it's a very assiduously,
says it takes a long time before and as a matter of fact, the rabbis or so
so try to dissuade you from converting to Judaism, because that in the sun.
Tests? You're you're here, faith, your desire in Islam? Do you know what you have to do to convert
what I won't say it because if I actually say it in Arabic than can be made to convert, have converted and therefore, if I leave it, but basically you
have to say the Shah Heather, which it's like the eye, testify while you're at it. It's a once one sentence
and then that's a bow Moran. If you leave, they give you live and Judy
and there isn't that about laws, laws for marriage, a must,
slim man can marry up to four women, including non muslim women and convert them. But a muslim woman cannot do the other way around, so the whole structure,
of Islam is built on the propagation of the belief system. So, just by that
which one is going to be more dangerous. One is a proselytizing religion, the other
what you're not allowed to, and in Judaism,
seller ties you're not supposed to try to convert others and in Islam, Bower is to proselytize. You have to now
in different countries, still do it in different ways in the West, where they are in the minority they'll. Do it through interfaith exchanges, but then
faith exchanges are always the Muslim
telling the non Muslim. How great are
the Djinn is and why you should converted. Never never given take so just going about your early.
Point about Israel and so on. Yes, of course,
undoubtedly there are some Israelis that do very bad things to their non jewish brothers nor question. But when we're talking about
the stench threats to our western ways? You and I probably dont-
they up worrying about radical Jews. Not don't I
wonder what it is about people that make
so susceptible to ideological thinking, instead
and where and whether or not its ever expendable,
You know whether or not its ever something that we can eradicate from the thought process. It just seems inherent to being a person
so much so that I recognise into myself like his approach.
Number. I ran into a guy just a few days ago, and he was
he said hello to me and then expect
to me that he trains jujitsu with the Machado enemy,
neatly were like brothers, because that's my linear. Yes right,
so it's like it's like immediately and, I might add,
So weird? It's so weird you know like I, I understand,
When I talk someone like you, how are you train twelve years? Ok, so you understand me- and I understand you aware, are you? What are you train
Charles, ah we come from the same thing. We're like broke there's a weird thing
give me a ride on even know. You're gonna mean ensure, but that's that's the sick. The case with religion, that's the case with with many things. It is the case with that net ethnicities often
times with even with state pride like we, we branch
off into groups, and we have micro groups and macro groups, and it gets real weird when we do this, but we all do it so to speak exactly about this
granular way to compartment compartmentalize us forces them. Let me mention the Hasidic
oh yeah, please do because there is not the reason that
sideways, because I she raised it with him on the plane. I use
live in an area in Montreal called you tremble for the Montreal out there on the way
there's where there are a lot of hasidic juice? So now you would think that, within this very small group of people called Jews within an even smaller group of people called has sitting.
Orthodox Jews once you an Orthodox Julian Orthodox, you know on this.
The street I, the Polish Orthodox Jews on
this side of the street. I, the hungarian Orthodox Jews and I wouldn't be caught dead, Mary
my daughter to those heathen pigs from the other side of the street, so in other words, our ability to create us versus
distinction. Distinctions, as you said, is, is infinite. That's what, by the way, I hate most about religion, and not only Islam right
Certainly, every abrahamic religion has a very clear delineation between us and them. If we are, Christians were going
to have in the rest of you haven't, except the Jesus are gone. How, if you're a jewish, they are
Jews, and they are the boys right than the Gentiles. If you are muslim, of course, there,
US muslim believers and all of you go far right, and so
it is an inherent part of abrahamic faith to play on this very innate mechanism of trial.
Was an US versus them. It's grotesque.
Also what happened in Iraq when we got
Saddam Hussein is created,
civil war between two rival factions of Islam, hops, Shia and the Sunday March, but most people had no idea that was even a situation over the exactly exactly but to eat.
You wanna, talk to our lives here, so I was
interested and asking him things that I actually thought about studying scientifically as part of my region,
So one of the things I study, as you know, is at I apply evolutionary psychology to all sorts of things, one of which is making preferences. Are certain mating preferences
that are universally true, irrespective of culture rain, and the answer, of course, is yes, so whether you go
so the animal more tribe in Brazil
close society or you go walk round and lay. There are certain things that men will look for women and other thing
We know that foreign men that tend to be universals for clear evolutionary reasons. So I was interested at one point.
And studying the mating preferences of the hazardous community. Again, the idea being that here you're taking a community that
culturally and religiously is very close way. The cultural and religious brainwashing very, very strong and
moment in this movement, making with your hands does that represent the sheet with them?
as you are doing.
This thing you join this thing with your handling. It must be a subconscious they yet
as our real. I drive, and I dont know: if Israel automatic there might be the ostrich thing it must be made. Maybe it sets a find out
we're we're talking about explain what we're talking about the idea, the
is that when civic couple has sex, they have a sheet between them where they make a hole where the GNP area goes and that's how you get it. That's what I thought you wake up. Do you know, sir? So maybe it was affrati, unfair and
my idea was at. One point is to see if I can get access to the hasidic community, which would probably not be easy to
into the present community ass another meeting preferences and saw it was.
Smile the I had over you don't afternoon.
Gonna drop dead, moved on to other things, but here
I was sitting with a couple a hazard, a couple and I thought okay, I can't do a scientific study, but at least I could come up with some anecdotes to the sky
as I actually asked them things like you not can you can we talk about some mating preferences that take place within the community and there are some really incredible incites that came up so, for example, the what the wife said that one of the attributes that she absolutely was looking for a prospective made was that he be taller than her, and it turns out that this is a tat. This is called a sort of meeting birds of a feather flock together. So if you look at night,
Lee occurring couples. It is almost never the case that the woman is told in the man there was actually studied than with seven hundred twenty couples. A single couple the woman was taller than the men, so here's an exam,
of a very basic physical desire in this case, I just need them at not not to be tall just taller than me right. That was replicating and a complete
different context and hasidic immunity. I even asked about things like well: will a hasidic woman ever look at a non hazardous guy? That's walking down the street a bad boy that has got twos and Greece back here.
As you know, the swimmers body and desire him or has the cult
troll and religious brain. Why
she'd, been so great that her eyes are shut off the these possibilities
She actually said that no amino at
bottom line as
Wilson said the genes halt culture.
Leash, in other words, no matter how much
cultural and religious brainwashing, you have, if you scratch far enough
you'll, get the same human nature and that's quest, but basically got from my conversations with the that's a fascinating way of describing the genes hold culture, leadership, Micro, that's a also re. That's a wilson! Ria, perfect!
way of saying it. That's
every now and then you're here phrase we like he's, he's I yield, I wish you could get him on your show, not sure he's now, probably eighty five
Juno eels, and now I do not
so your Wilson is very famous scientist at Harvard. I've heard the name,
I don't on. Oh yeah he's amazing he's up
training is an entomologist insect scientists. He specifically studies the social, social ants,
basically, and so he looks at things like reciprocal altruism can select,
all of these mechanisms, of altruism in the context of Bee Hazan. Other quote that he has,
but I love communism, slash socialism, great system, wrong species,
What is basically saying is that that political system of we're all equal under communism is a great idea, but it applies to Social
ass, a doesn't apply to humans.
He's got these wonderful pithy quotes. I wish you coming, I know, that's robber, suppose keys great, but it from its is great. You need to get your Wilson on this,
but ass, the boy if it's possible, look into it with where'd. You say yes, he's at Harvard Harvard side of private I've come to him. Product daddy travels along the stages, live well, I'd, be willing, I'm gonna be back their events,
I'm sure saw, haven't you go back to to Boston. Well, I haven't been in a while. I'm gonna try to get. There sprang I'm thinkin about film on my next Netflix.
Special their water, I there is war, started right, ok, trying to figure it out,
he's gonna be there here. Thank you
my two options: YA, California, very nice- some for either my current of our former right right, but
so when you talk to this guy for food
plus hours am my wife was passed by the way you can talk to her.
Guess you ve ignored. She felt she was getting bored and you have to take care that kid's. While I was having this one is my fight I thought later wanted have been wonderful if we could have taped it and I can
release this conversation in on my show. Oh yeah. I guess it was so honest, try to keep in touch with this guy S, so we we exchange an eye. She asked him permission a dimension. I thought were much as it would. Would you mind I'm goin on this in a very popular showed. Would he was gonna, go head fever and saw a man there will be
we'll get you guys together and moderate,
They are that we are now well now it was an amicable conversation very and I really pushed him very politely. Sat one point:
I said to him. You know what would be the evidence that you would need to see to have any questioning of your.
And his answer, which is a classic argument from the under a few weeks term. God of the gaps
from other than now. So God of the gaps is basically
One point: when we didn't know much in science, God could be found explaining everything right, wider stuff
happen: well, God does it right now we find out that there is a very
clear material explanation for foreign lightnings are now that's often our God goes and hide somewhere else, and now he constantly finds the small
gaps where science has not yet been able to uncover an explanation, and he hides there that
the God of the Games, monument and so
he used the the grand daddy of God, the gout he goes. If you take me back to the Big Bang,
and you show me that there was no god at that point. Then I'm willing to renounce my faith, to which I answer
Even if I were able to do that, you would say
find the way defence,
go your way into justifying their body, and otherwise there is no amount of evidence that I could ever provide you. That would shake your hand
patient, so we really got into some heavy stuff by the way. That's one of the differences between, I think in history,
he's an extremist Jew in the sense that he is the most practicing of Jews. Well, how come we could have this very, very difficult conversation.
And leave the and shaking hands both richer for it.
And no one's heads come off. While you are also Jude maintaining help anyone if he had a conversation with a Muslim, don't you think? Maybe
maybe they mortal intentions, but nobody's head would be at least the general
not an airline's right. My point is that I think
of jewish tradition, even when you, for example, go to the achievements to study said without mood, is that there is this mechanism of. We constantly argue,
but everything nothing is settled. We have to debate over everything right, so you have to have that openness of spirit to have your ideas, question
and I think that if all ready Islam were open to that a bit more, then maybe it would be in a better place. I've heard some of the most compelling arguments against the Big bang from religious people are what at what gimme some
while the argument against it, as you are not willing to believe that there is a creator than theirs
sort of a system that was put in place by a much higher power beyond
we can describe, but you willing to believe that
everything came out of nothing,
something smaller than the head of a pin. For some reason, the no one's ever figured out
and the only evidence that we have is the radio wave echoes of this event right. So this is
I may have heard similar arguments having Thomas Aquinas is the guy, who always argue, I think, the twelfth century by the first mover that you could always go back and say
at times zero. What started that one that, I don't think you could ever really, ultimately
somebody's foundations right, there's no amount of even forget about the idea of shaking someone's belief system. It is odd
that we're all willing to believe the most insane version
the creation of the universe ever without a doubt like every
person of science, but I believe in genes and atoms and subatomic particles and corks and glue ons, and they believe that
one point in time there was
one thing that was smaller than the head of a pin rather became the infinite
base that we see in front of us, that's constantly expanding and so invented.
One of the things that Lawrence Kraus really really fuck, my my
and up when he was here, he was accept
to me that when we're seeing the universe, we're talking about thirteen,
point seven billion years. Whatever it is you seeing as it was well, yes
not just seeing as it was based
you're only seen the observable universe because
the universe itself as moving faster than the light that you see from it. So its entire
the possible that it goes back far further than that. You just can't see it right. Ear.
And listen and Richard Dawkins, the guy that we talked about earlier about selfish Jean, has a wonderful concept. It's called middle world.
I have heard this before now, but I read era GR tokens sentimental earth is that
Oh, that's loaded ranks. Ok, I know not how much prefer that's not, but he eat
so my middle world, the idea being that our brains evolved to understand phenomena at a level that our brain interacts with right? He caused middle world so that which is at the Cosmo logical level.
At the Lawrence Kraus level of cosmology or at the national level, quantum quantum physics it so esoteric, Nan our brains, haven't
evolved to understand phenomena at that level right so, in a sense it.
Enter intuitive for us to even do site that
think about it. When you and I are actually most physicists when they study things at those levels, they will tell you that the stuff, so I sat there,
great Richard fine than the very famous physicist right said. You know if you, if you, if you think you understand quantum,
you- don't understand quantum physics or something of that fact mass that it is so esoteric and difficult for you,
when brains to understand things at that level. Small or very big so, but that notwithstanding, that doesn't mean that scientists succumb to belief just like religious people do, because scientists have epistemic
humility, which basically means what I'm always willing to see
if your old into moral comes to me with data
knowing that the mechanisms of evolution as enunciated starting with Darwin are wrong. Then I would be
this honest scientists do not revise my beliefs and light of Georgians evidence so another one
scientists are always open. It's always provisional knowledge. It's it's only the best that we have now, whereas in religion, its reveal truth,
It is true because it is true because it's in my book- because it's true so in a sense, religious people are epidemiologically haughty their arrogant because nothing could change their opinions, whereas
scientists, treasure opinions every day, so in that sense I dont think we're both succumbing to believe
systems norm, not necessarily say now, not equating
I'm not saying that equal, but it is an odd belief,
necessarily even a belief for lack of a better word, but an
it's a nod concept that, because
as we know that this exists and because we have some sort of residual trace
the explosion a long time ago, even trying and let my boy I mean I, I probably just
as a lay person in physics, probably one.
Percent of what I see in a national geographic on physics, I can even remotely understand
is, it just seems so and it's not as though I'm not capable of
click start, but it's just so difficult for human minds. What what is it
in sixteen billion light years away randomly right for the light to travel for sixteen billion light years, that's the envelope I mean. How do you understand these kinds of is to bear
and then the concept of life and death is also like our
physical limitations, as we know that we live and die. We noted the sun is gonna burn out and we know that life on earth lives
dies and thinks so we we impose these physical restrictions
Very universe itself when, in fact it might be some
Constant process of expanding
contracting. That's one of them
disturbing ideas,
the universe is gonna, expand infinitely and then contract infinitely and then do it all over again. So that mean
I don't know if this is even a correct theory- I don't know, maybe it's been disputed, but
read once said, there is a theory that the universe contracts to some insanely infinite position and then retracts down to the head of a pin again right and then the whole day
bang is a continual process that might take. You know a hundred
trillion years, or something and saying I don't know yet
If you understand one percent, I understand zero zero, zero point. One actually had the surf physicist on my show. He might be a fun guide on your show,
His name is least small and he's a guy who produce right the way that I discovered his work.
Is that I was looking for every possible field that I could think of. Where
evolutionary theory has been infused into that feel rights or, for example, in my case, I play evolutionary psychology and consumer behaviour. You could study criminal criminality from an evolution perspective, exciting medicine, and so I was trying to come up
with a table that listed all of the various scientific disciplines where evolutionary principles have made headway and the field at the high
level member we're talking about middle world and cousin. He argued that the
Process of natural selection operates at the Cosmo logical level. Where this grand
set of universes, are being selected. In other words, in the same way that we select genes right, some genes get selected and others thy out that that mechanism
sort of a cosmic logical, natural selection at the Cosmo logical level,
So that's high for this. It is so mind blowing. It is so esoteric it so difficult to so non palpable that it at borders on
making mushrooms psychedelic someone that
how my boy, so you should you may,
We should check out our chat on my show is really cool guy you you'll enjoy what fastening we think of how much the universe, how many possible,
but he's exist in the universe cry. I mean how many,
different solar systems. This hundreds of Billy,
and just in this galaxy one of hundreds of billions.
It's almost like far less
tiny worlds like when we try to look at it in terms of the big picture, we're not capable. We don't have enough process,
power. We don't have enough hard drive space. We can't take all of this
these points of data and bring them into our head and consider them, but it's entirely possible that
everything you see in the Antwerp.
In terms of competition. Everything you see
the human world in terms of competition, natural selection and the constant
and never ending desire for innovation for novelty, for
new things. We have this kind
instant desire to improve upon every single thing that we ve ever done. No one ever look at like car mean
says this is the best car ever it will not be improved upon we're done. We don't need to make cars anymore if they always want to come up with something is better airbags, faster, zero to sixty more protection for the passenger, automated control
You know you can sit back and sleep while your car drives, you two were there's all the
things that we just take for granted but their own,
is moving in the direction of improvement, and you could do that with life on earth.
You go back to single celled organisms which become multi.
Celled organisms? And we always look at
like all this is a coincidence and its dinosaurs, and then it becomes mammals and then it becomes humans and it becomes air play
in writing cell phone using video having in it just
it's more and more complex, but we do so. That's just coincidence. Is it
or is it moving in this constant state of improvement until we create an artificial being that can accelerate things far path, far faster
then our biological limitations are capable son
sure. If this is where you want to go, but as you as you are describing this sort of quest for improvement, one of them
One of the threats of that reflex, or one of the dangers of that reflex is present.
See how and ideologies develop where they argue that our current state of the world is faulty and if only you implement our ideology, the shoe it could be communism of good.
He is right to be perfect. Then it could be perfect. Socialism sunk exactly so so there is a way by which we could reach that utopia. If only you were here to our ideology,
so there is a real danger and sort of succumbing to that, and I believe that one of the really went now a book by William gardener who might come on my show easy. I think a political scientist. His book is called the great divide. We actually lays out some of the sort of fundamental foundational difference
is between liberals and conservatives in terms of their world views and how? Because of these stocks,
in positions being so different? Having no overlap between them? The van diagrams, don't overlap, that's why you end up speaking over each other without being able to find common ground. So one of these differences is that
and I I describe something similar using different terms, a lot of the quote, liberals and progressive view, our brain as being blank slate right. It's infinitely malleable, and so, if you see differences,
between people. It can't be because there was a starting point. Difference. Michael Jordan was not innately likely to be better than you and
screwball. There were some environmental conditions that lead Michael Jordan to become who he is and not got sad to be there
and be a player ever and if only we can find the appropriate. So
intervention strategies, then we could all have equality of outcomes, and so that is a fact
T understanding of human nature, because human nature, as you of course, you know it
interaction of our biology and our environment, but so much of the welfare state,
Based on this idea that no we need more of your tax money so that we could implement.
Social Engineering programme so that we could reach that utopia where we are all equal outcome and, frankly, I think the desk.
Nonsense? It is fascinating. The feeble seek comfort,
in communism and socialism. For that very reason like they almost are trying to slow down the competition that they can't win exactly
I see it by the way it but my university sown in Canada,
sort of social welfare state and cut back the province where I live is sort of socialist.
On wealth on steroids and so in the car,
so the universities have all of the metrics of reward are removed so that we can have equality of outcomes in the way that you instantiated, that is through the union's right. So there's a very powerful union that ensures that
all professors are roughly treated equally because we're all social adds there's a queen bee and then the rest of us are all equal. But of course you must
not equal? Some are smarter, some work harder. Some are more apathy
some are honest, some cheaters, and so this idea of constantly having to have some external agent.
Manage the process so that we could all be equal to me is grotesque, and it goes back to ethical problem
they are first conversation you and I had when I was saying that you know I'd would love to eventually come to Southern California, because at least in the United States
it's the society has been less per exercised by the social welfare idea, of course, that the Democrats are more so than the Republicans
but as a general rule, Canada is basically pure social welfare, we're all equal and, of course, just intruder certainly
to push tat idea even more he's too handsome does likewise problem he's trying to make up for the factions beautiful.
Be super sweet everybody! That's! What's going on up there. Did you hear about the I just put up a clip a few days ago about the Ahmad how their case you know that is no actually few people tweeted all. Please talk the general good about.
So my father is a muslim guy whose family had become canadian citizens, but the father had taken them away. I think to Pakistan at one point two
another and at one point they were living in Taliban territory. This is two thousand too, I think
the! U S. Military had engage in some fire fight at one point that ever lived in the car
kind of Bin Laden. So these were really real apple pie, canadian folks and all my father
was fifteen years old, apparently through a grenade engage in a fire fight, killed one, U S soldier, and I think, blinded a second one. He was taken to one tonne of Mowbray as a fifteen year old spent many years there
he was in a military tribunal. U S. Guantanamo tribunal gave
the symbolic sentence of forty years, but it was symbolic and that I think it was only going to be a h here. They agreed on a plea of eight years. Then he was extradited to Canada very quickly after that he was released because you're really served quite a few using Guantanamo, and then he filed a
lawsuit against the canadian government for not having protected his canadian charter rights because he was a child soldier and so on, and he just settled
a ten point: five million dollar settlement and an official apology by the canadian government and then some most people were outrage, most Canadians outrage, but then you should see the comments and some of my on my u to channel,
What kind of pig are you talking to me that I would not understand that this was an innocent child soldier who yet because
most of us are usually hanging around while we're fifteen and the compound of Bin Laden and law
robbing bombs. In coming Marines, that's a very canadian apple pie thing to do so again. The reflex is not to be outraged at my tax.
Bears are funding this guy. Now, in a ten point, five million that settlement- I'm a pig
racist pig for not understanding this
Just an innocent child soldier the wrong place at the wrong time. Ok,
Let's look at two different things: one the amount of money they gave him yeah, it's kind of crazy that your tax dollars go to that. But let's look at the fifteen year old kid like what
do you expect and what could possibly
be done to dissuade him from following
spam is living in Bin Laden's compound. You talk about someone who's vulnerable to ideology, fifty
old men are vulnerable to ideology. What about a fifteen year old child? I dont know
Much blame. You can put on a kid now when it comes to throwing a bomb
someone and taking the life of another human being boldly
just got to be a lot of circumstances involved. In that I would like to know what they are before. I think about any judgment whatsoever. I cuz, I don't know where they shooting at him with a shooting at someone he knew did someone he know get murdered by a US soldier. Was he
We engaged in some sort of military training and considering become becoming
What and I dont know right
Fourteen is a baby
mean yes or no right I mean you. Can you can drive a car at a meeting in sixteen and cabuc? Yet we hear you could start DR drivers, fifteen is, I would is mighty yeah, my my my mother and father, my mother, my father was
nineteen. My mother was almost sixteen when they got married, so you can procreate
then have a child, but you don't understand the care, but let's be real about physiologically you're frontal cortex is nevertheless warmed to your twenty five. We have fifteen years.
Oh you're, not capable of making good, especially living in a war zone. You not
before making moral and ethical judgments. Above and beyond the ideology that you're being raised. Fair enough I mean I, I agree that
most of us in that situation may not have been able to extricate ourselves from that and what
Why to say next doesn't necessarily support the outrage, but it gives it greater context. He thus come from a family if you later, if you check when we get off the air
sort of the the queues of this family. They don't seem as though they are
simulating very nicely within canadian value system. In other words, for most
agents the reflex of taking this guy, who seems too.
Quite resistant to liberty and modernity and freedoms and
rewarding I'm with ten point. Five million thought that by the way, this temporary five canadian- so it's probably thirty dollars american at this point
I thought we were of similar now we we were to a few years ago. We were at par and I think now we're at one point three. Third, twenty twenty five, thirty percent less than you,
that's how that was when I was when I first to go,
I want ya like in the nineties:
at par Org or different different. The waiters till you're saying now, the American Darwin Farm
longer yet it s right, yeah
is heading back towards that now not not not to do.
It's the worst I've ever seen. It was when we lived in California and two thousand and one two thousand and three at one point. It was six thousand four hundred and sixty five now
point- seventy five us not the worse. It has ever been, but we're heading in that direction. But since with
and about our maybe you'd like to talk about, and I know that you ve had Jordan Petersen on. Did you follow both of our respective
testimonies in front of the Canadian Senate, daddy
Bilbil I didn't! You know. I've read a lot of Jordan stuff on that I've seen him speak loud and I've see. I saw that one conversation than he had on television in Canada with some person who is a professor engender studies who, as
ambiguous lease actual. I got it. I don't know what they were, whether it's a guy or girl or transgender woman to man. This is what it seem to be right and the one
If there's no that gender
was no biological difference between men and women, yes, which is just fucking horseshit.
Mean. That is just like one plus one is not too. I mean really is: there are obviously of broad spectrum of of
variation in both sexes and they kind of coal
ass in the middle somewhere with some.
Oh what's amazing, is that I've been fighting this battle and academia precisely because of what I do, which is introduce evolutionary psychology and social Sciences. So these types of conversations, these ludicrous conversations I've been experiencing them for
for much of my scientific career. What's extraordinary at this point is that some of this nonsense is now becoming law and Canada. So too got to give you the background to what happen. So I was invited both to speak if I became Senate and also to give a talk in front of parliament on parliament here, but the canadian Senate part was bill C. Sixteen, which is a bill that that seeks to incorporate gender identity engender expression under the rubric of hate crimes, rights on the same way that I can be committed against you for your religion or your race or ethnic city. I can't discriminate against you because your gender identity or gender expression, because then that would be hit,
and so I appeared in front of the cane Senate to simply say that, while of course, everybody's person who should be respected- and we are equal to the law, the manner by which the bill was tabled, the weight was written, it was so vague as as it for it to be dangerous, and so I give examples. So me just mention a few here for it, for you
yours so I said, look Harvard University. There algae Bt Q office came out with a pamphlet that said that the idea of promulgating and I'm gonna quote fixed binaries and biological, essential ism, close quote fixed binary.
Means male female biological, essential as it is to argue that anything's biological. So the idea of promulgating fix
binaries and biological essential ism- is a form of transforming systemic violent
This is not violence. Violence is and is not metaphorical sought allegorical. It's not that you mean violence. In quote, it is a form of transphobia but specifically systemic,
violent transphobia. Now, how did they define violence, because there is a very specific definition of violence?
Well, I don't know my job
the general sense. I think it's the desire to come up with ever broadening
definitions of violence that any any transgression that you commit could fit on that
Ruby, even micro micro aggression, is a form of violence, so
so then I went in front of the Canadian sent and I'm out you could watch this later. It's on my channel, I said: look every single thing that I teach in my courses would constitute transphobia systemic violence based on that sort of standard right, scientific data
Exactly so. If I get up and say here is how sexual selection works right. Sexual selection is the mechanism that explains how sex specific traits evolve, while sex specific traits evolve.
You recognise that there is male and there
is female. Here is why human males are likely to have,
in sexually selected to be more risk takers right, while by engage
Given that conversation, I would be promulgating
fixed binaries and buy a lot,
nickel essential, as in France, phobic Transphobia violence, because a trance chance
under student could come up to me say: look professor, you ve, thought your court adolescent your course. Thirteen we she talked about, evolve, mating preferences or not
once did you talk about the non gender
binary, the gender fluid the the other cannons on? That's marginalize me, that's excluded me,
you're, being biased, you're being prejudicial. So I tried to argue that most of the liberal
senators, either laughed and scoffed. One of them accuse me of being programme
side. This is on record in the canadian Senate. So us
it is with this person, is now I think, show
senator job, but I I've started pushing the which has now become maybe air and internet. Did you have a conversation with them in their it? So we, the competition we had was moaning genocide. Someone set what how do you respond to that when someone says this or that my response, which you could see paraphrasing, says
sure that, given the fact that I escaped execution in Lebanon because of my jewish heritage, that I need to be lectured about genocide and that
to come back now, apparently later- and I didn't see this apparently later- he wanted to retract somebody's comments and apologize for them. I don't know about how did you justify genocide like what that's what happens when you have your
impressive eyes by ostrich President syndrome, wow
how is it? Ok to study all these behaviour patterns and aunts and monkeys and dogs, and what have you, but you can't with human beings, because of
do as human beings somehow or another anything that you find
bout, generalised behaviour patterns or specific sexual preferences
somehow another man
regionalize is or in some way diminishes how and other persons living their life to the point where it becomes violence.
So? There is actually a term for what you just ass. It's called the human reticence effect and simply put a lot of people are perfectly happy
to use evolutionary arguments to explain the behaviour of the salamander, the Hyena, the mosquito the dog. But if you use
exact, same evolutionary principle to explain human phenomena. Then suddenly it's no go. Why
do, you think, is because we're aspiring to something better. I think it's because people succumb to wrongly so to the idea of biological determinism. They think that if you, if you call up and explain,
a phenomenon, a biological principle. That means you doomed to your biology, it's a fatalistic thing which are
horses nonsense, because there's no such thing as biological determinism, because most of the things that are triggered by our biology have to be triggered by interacting with the environment. Right genes are turned on or off as a function of environmental inputs and outputs.
So. The idea of biological determinism as it is a false, worry much of what we do. It's called the interaction is viewpoint, much of who we are
as an interaction of our genes and our environment, but for most people there is something vulgar about reducing the richness of the human condition to our biology. It just feels wrong. This explains the behaviour of the hyena, but we are above that we are cultural animals. We are prone to condition
and socialization and high order cognition. So you could even take evolutionary biologists. So these are people who are trained
evolutionary biology, they will commit this error. I mean that's breathtaking, lighten the cost.
Example, is a guy who is otherwise in utter buffoon. His name is peace admires, but a fifth grader,
academic. I say this because not to denigrate
but, as I said, to use the one. That's the letters easily ever yes, Canadian, so Pc Myers his claim to fame is he's, got a very and hats off time. He's gotta incredibly popular scientific blog called for Angola, which gets hundred million views or something so it is all very well for himself, but he's the guy
I, who is perfectly happy to use evolutionary principles, to explain the behaviour of the meeting
in view of the salamander, but if I come in
as an evolution psychologist and use the exact same principle. The exact same logical structure to explain human behaviour or what's this gets out doing
this bullshit evolutionary psychology stuff. That's nonsense that pseudoscience and the right
flexi has doubts because to somehow explained
for the salamander makes sense its national geographic but humans they dare not prompted biology and jobs is given to other examples. Stephen J, Gould, Richard Low,
and who are very, very famous, Harvard Evolutionists, also despise
Evolutionary psychology, but for other reasons they were avowed, Marxists, they came sort of from the hip.
Duration of the marks they probably about twenty use of them. You are one of the mouse passed away, Stephen vehicles that, but they were gone
I who thought that if ever
quality is right. Then there
marxist bullshit ideologies would be wrong so
They were strong, anti evolutionary psychology folks, even though all of their training suggested that they should be for it. So they are the
by the way who used to be or Wilson I mentioned earlier so Ie Wilson, the social ask. I wrote a book called
social biology and ninety seventy five, where he is
how evolutionary theory could explain behaviour across all sorts of animals? Everybody was happy with the book
and one of the last chapters. He applies all these principles to the human condition he became persona non grata. He became a
see. He couldn't go anywhere to give a talk without being shouted down
unlike how you're seeing Milo today being shouted down while e
and went through those culture wars thirty years ago, because evolution
psychology was attacking the petty political ideologies of his
colleagues at Harvard of MILES avowed comparison, I think Jordan Petersen, probably short at a comparison. Fair, is miles. Obviously a provocative intrude on purpose to look at what he would do just instead appointments
your at individuals. I would like to try to figure out how we we're not going to. Let us discuss it. What
what is the motivation? Why
will resist these ideas
of looking at the data of human interaction and genetics, and sexual preference
why did they resist
examining these factors like what is it about and what is it
people that, like the guy that you were talking about, that wants to point at you for examining these factors and call you horrific names and just for looking at actual provable data day
now that you can mean you could show it. You get there and minutes review declined. Why? What is
What's the motivation is ultimately Eagle driven. So in the case of those Harvard folks, they are
it'd, more excess rife evolution. Psychology is right. Therefore, my pet political ideology is wrong. Therefore, I have to shoot it. That's one example: let's, let's do for care suppose I am a overweight woman and I don't I don't get much action. The mating market, one of two things can happen. I could either believed that there is and evolved preference that men have for certain universal standards of beauty or I
Go for the much more comforting message, which is that these beauty standards are arbitrary, sexist patriarchal standards and, if only me
and would stop being shallow and buying into these Hollywood images than myself. This beautiful,
eight hundred pound woman would be getting off.
Ash the world. So it's nothing wrong with me. It's that they are outside forces that are causing these arbitrary preferences
the right Naomi Wolf wrote a book in the early nineties. The beauty myth that sold millions of copies where she org
with that. There is no such thing as universal standards of beauty. It's all a beauty met its the patriarchy that imposes these beauty. Myths on women to attack their sense of self
Well, if I'm a woman who doesn't score well, even if only if I'm a man for example- and we know that women prefer men of high status, where I could do one of two things- I could get out there and shake my butt and get the stuff
that's right, Joe Rogan. Nobody gave him all the stuff that you have. You have to work hard for all your success, so that you could then hopefully do,
on the mating market, or I could
You know what these are arbitrary standards. I mean and adjust world my
being a lazy apathetic beta mail would just be,
as worthy of love, and so I think ultimately, there is in,
element to biological based explanations. That's unhopeful to most people write. The idea that we could all be anything is a lot more hopeful and the idea that
we could all be anything unconstrained by biology only.
Exists in the recesses of ideologues there. The world is not made up like that beautiful
but our more symmetric. Now that doesn't mean that
you're, not symmetric your doom to a life,
celibacy, but nor the fact that bread, pit, Brad Pitt is is considered handsome
does he exhibit certain cues that women all around the world agree our beautiful sawdust?
Your question there is something
very non hopeful about buying the idea
that we are biological beings. It's a lot more comforting to know. We are infinitely malleable,
filthy socialize, a because than any of us could be anything given the right conditions.
I could be the next Leah now messy. That's hopeful and therefore I'd like to subscribe to that, I think
there's absolutely something what you're saying, but I think there is
Also this
very strange and vague possibility that we are aspiring to a higher standard, because we recognise that here
beings are evolving and that we're
moving into some strange place were were no longer just creatures of the flesh and that
need to put people on
even playing field is this is a part of
aspiration I've. I definitely think there's these influences and I definitely think
are these there
there's a lot of people that look at beautiful people they get upset. I mean there's a there's, a way that they
do it where they feel that their justified and being prejudiced like they can see
a guy like the rock, for example, whose, as big handsome man is big Berlin, and they think that as a fuckin idiot, media,
Really, meanwhile, like our primary law, is pro smarter, so rightly said,
The very ambitious soaking controls, mind control his he's very disciplined. He controls is mine, far better than a lot of overweight people. That would criticize him and call him a fool.
But meanwhile they let their body wrought to the state of decay, which is not an intellectual thing. To do
If you're, looking at your body and I got reach- is a finite
resource and how demands that resource will very poorly written rings. Drinkin fuck.
Soda and smoking cigarettes, and then talking about the rock being an idiot
right mean that these are obviously Strom adventures. But I wonder if what we are doing
what's going on in Canada, and this this liberal
of social justice, warrior approach to every
body being equal and if they're, not, let's, try to make an equal, and if there is anybody that superior, try to push them down and bring the brown people up and
wonder if we're trying to achieve some sort of equilibrium, some sort of balance, some sort of some,
sort of state where were no longer just monkeys were no longer just creatures of you know. I want to fuck her cuz. She got big tits right now. There's our base ideas he's a base, instincts that it's fine
if we observe the men bonobos, but we don't.
I see them in Harvard educated. Kid is right.
So the male gaze becomes problematic right a man.
Staring at a woman, becomes a micro aggression. Meanwhile, she's wearing almost nothing but she's got a shore.
Skirt on and painted toes and you want more can help us.
Of the genes come fired up. You must suppress those because we're eventually moving pass. The flesh,
and you are of the new generation, the new generation that will some day be neutered and there will be some,
non binary expression of your humanity that you know exists as an avatar and some
virtual reality world that you'll be forced to subscribe to when, when you join Yale, but by lay that's when
talk about the male gazing much over this
ass, the sun, the social before, but its precisely, this type of thinking that causes the western feminist to view the burka liberating and the bikini as patriarch of oppression. It's exactly that right. The to the extent that the male gaze is a form of visual rape near right, and that should be condemned that should be stopped because it is a type of
salt and quotes right the burka by removing that mail gaze becomes liberating now. This is not an argument that I'm making up this is I've heard this argues idea. On the other hand, when a woman where's, the brazilian thong,
you and I look at her and have the exact same predictable response that
most men would have because its involved
response. While that's, we that's bad, because we are part of the patriarchy and we are succumbing to this rape urge right. So this is
So when I talk about ostrich parasitic syndrome, I don't
it uses a metaphor, its genuinely the case that people's minds are becoming infected with such garbage that their income,
the will to rationalize to think would reason, and that's what I
that doing most of the time. That's what Jordan Petersen ends up doing most of the time, which is we are committed to truth, unencumbered by
vertical correctness. Earlier, you were saying what would be some? How can we get ourselves out of us?
linked to this tribalism and so on. I think the only way you could do it and I'm not saying that
but he can reach that level is to simply be dedicated to the pursuit of truth
when I was on some Harris's show earlier this year.
About six. Seven months ago he asked
is there any research question that you would not tackle and your you're you're scientific career that is too
Abu and my answer is no right-
as long as you addressed the question honestly and objectively, there is nothing that should be
off limits right, because then it becomes very easy, while sex differences. We should study that because then it will marginalize one sexually other race differences,
shouldn't study them for the same way.
So on that becomes forbidden knowledge, no, the highest ideal that any honest person should pursue is the pursuit of truth and certainly in intellectual, so no don't be encumbered. By
political correctness just pursued the truth- and I think one of the reasons why George
Peterson's message in my message has resonated now with a lot of people is because at least
see that we are ascribing to that idea to the best of our ability.
If that truth hurt your feelings, fuck you,
How are you
triggered hell I'll leave. I use the F word arouses park, has an effect on people,
I think it some. You know it's a bunch of different things going on all at once and there's obviously some tribalism going on. Even amongst these social,

Einstein, Open Evergreen College and
when I had him on. I just read some recent thing where their doubling down on there:
of him and in our meme me they dare.
Accusing him of all of this by
simply going on the Tucker Carlson's show here's what,
fascinating Huffington Posed-
is a really left, leaning, establishment. Right I mean if any website is left, leaning its Huffington post laughing. To have some great articles. Don't get me wrong. I am critical of all their stop at its very left.
Meaning, like openly regarded. They had a piece breaking down how preposterous these,

Given the idea that he he wants progress mean they them into the real broad term of progressive.
Progress, meaning equality for all but honest, honest about the approach, but I would
consider and probably more than in a libertarian bent. If you wanted to get like political
I guess I'm sort of in this sort of progressive, slash, libertarian left, leaning thing, but
I also believe in a lot of right things as well, like you know that I think that competition is pro
Billy ultimately good right, and I think that blaming
other people for your lack of success is really easy and it's something the people
while the time, but when you do that, if you look at things in that way, then
diminishing the struggles that down,
trot and people and minorities and the oppressed, and all these different small group,
that have been somehow another marginalized there. You are diminishing their struggle, which is now absolutely not the case, but there have been people that have emerged from those
groups and done amazing things, but
those are outliers and you can't hold people up the standards of those outliers and you know the real
problem is that the competition is stacked in favour of these white men who experienced white privilege and
what we really need to do is squash white men might have
theory about all the stuff. What is so it's I called it: Collective Munch housing
said this before and I haven't. Please go I'll. Tell ya Noakes like us to stand alone. Thank you saw.
How earlier I said that the highest idea should be the pursuit of the truth here, so that the currency that I operate and is pursuing truth wherever that leads me, a banker cares about the body
like how much money companies euros. There are in his back right and my case its truth,
now in the social justice Warriors currency? It's how much eagle strokes he or she gets by proclaiming unique victimised
that is not why I call this collective munch housing. So two thousand ten I had published
the paper in a medical journal where I was looking at a specific
all of which have so much hasn't syndrome as a psychiatric condition where someone feigns illness to get attention to get empathy to get sympathy. It's a real psychic
condition. I know, ladies, got it right or else crazy later I won't you ok right.
Much housing syndrome by proxy is a different situation. Where you try to get your ego
strokes by harming someone else and then getting
the reward. So what does that mean? You are frozen,
biological mother, whose who has this condition you will harm,
a child, your biological child, so that, then you could take him to the hospital and he was a poor. You, you ve got a sick, ailing, child and so on, and then you get your your or orgy ass, thick organic strokes by getting that attention and that empathy right more, you could do it if you have a pet or sometimes
the elderly parents, but usually is your biological job. So I was writing paper trying to explain this from an evolution perspective, how this mythology could arise, and so that's how the the psychiatric sent syndrome wasn't. My radar
and then, as I started, seeing all these social justice warriors Navid
leading the world through a game of oppression Olympics where the the highest go you could achieve is to be declared. The winner of the oppression Olympics came right
the pursuit of truth: it's not making the most money. It's can I be anointed as the guy with the grace, and I call this collective munch housing because it becomes a form of munch housing
the collective level right, let me give you another example as ring to Donald Trump, when Donald
one. The re election just
on my facebook, page private personal facebook page. I would see people outdoing doing each other almost as if it were satirical in terms of their collective, much
I am a brown woman whose attending this university now that Donald
from has one I'm afraid to go to classes meant just think about her
outrageous. That sounds I mean you may like or dislike Donald Trump,
Do you genuinely believe that your ability to take cost?
as in your bullshit college. It and main is going to be affected. You going to experience personal safety
Donald Trump is setting up roadblocks so that he could create internment camps,
all women of color, so they get gang rape. What is the fear that you have that
literally right, but their testifying their nests defiant, and so it becomes this collective psychosis.
Where the way that I win is by demonstrating that I am the biggest victim
so that's what social justice warriors do is that they have to win that game
and so there is not so the breadth, wines
An example is those guys
is seeking to Windows Olympics
dear, you say that you could come on campus, don't you know what kind of victims rights or its it say? It's a complete,
Parker from reason. It's grotesque, it's a psychiatric condition. It's it's weird! How prevalent it is and how
it's almost one of those things that you as a professor are not really allowed discuss with the people that are exhibiting
behaviour, because then Europe diminishing their fear right,
diminishing or marginalizing there, their own personal issues that they feel they have, except, except because I always can pull out my victim knowledge,
card which usually out ranks all of them because there,
screaming, while sitting
yet Wellesley paying sixty thousand dollars that they are marginalized, whereas I say I'm not sure if I could be sympathetic, because, let me tell you my person has
Well, that's what you did with the guy in the meeting when he got used to have genocide. He's after you, ve hit and went for, is exactly like socket stupid. Exactly and so now
the way sit. The only way I could improve my support, as I have jokingly said, is, if I self I then to fire as a woman,
I'm transgendered, look I'm sure,
if you suffer
fires, woman. Why do you have to assume the appearance of a woman? I mean, if really appear,
it. Don't matter exactly I mean if parliament would anus well yeah. I mean this whole idea that beauty standards are bullshit networking constructed by the patriarchy. Why can't you grow?
Big Ol Santa Claus Beard, steel style, identify with a woman. We I'm with you, I like you. Well, let's let set the train, but where
do we draw the line because I have no problem, someone identifying as woman. If you want to be a woman, it's fine. I don't care rights as well
Where do we draw the line? Where are you allowed? Where are you how how out there can you get
before I allowed to go well that guy might be fucking crazy. Have you heard about this new there's this new, I think, called. I think, Sis sexism
the heavier this. No, I I think I covered in where my sad truth clips. It's basically the idea that so you
you're a heterosexual mail and assist gendered
which is not real right. That's not a real expression, but it is. But will all expressions are created by human rights evasion? Some humans accepts so you and I wished to mate with women.
We are heterosexual. Do we look right now stay with me by you. Restricting your preference to this old
antiquated term of women, meaning that they have vaginas you're, actually engaging
the form of Sis Sis sexism, because they are women who
have nine inch penises.
It also be privy to your attention. So by you saying. Yes, I'm attracted to women
but only the women that our sis, gender, that have female
I that's a form of Sis
sexism! This idea is not
being promulgated, so you
even saying that you have a head or sexual orientation towards biological women as a form of transphobia
not unlike by though it here's another example- transformational ISM of Europe at this sight. So yes, ok, I love. This idea is an event ass, the it's wonderful! So what
far. Could we take this? How we gonna go that far so yeah. You think that you think the falcons not gonna start swinging the other way and some play out for sure it will, and it has- and I think that's one of the reasons why Donald Trump got an office is people so upset with political correctness that went with the exact opposite, which is buffoonery right out
ages. You know like braggadocio male buffoonery
mean? That's really what this mean he's a braggadocious, buffoon buffoon in a lotta respects, especially the way talks about his
ratings in his hands talks about himself.
Third person, you know like use describing
Kenya. Western Conny loves Trump. Mink do
and saying that about yourself describing
yourself in a third person that a famous person loving you. It's so bizarre. While you know a lot of people who follow me, think that joke that that they think that
have these trump posters in my room and be my big hero, which of course is not- and I too am, can
it is truly don't have a bug in this fight. The reason why they think that is because I offered
higher to the election being done. I offered some compelling reasons, psychological reasons why people my
vote for Donald Trump. So most famously perhaps my
with some Harris. I explained the psychological mechanisms
that could lead to otherwise perfectly reasonable people to vote for Trump. Simply propose
seeing these wise, complete on it,
optimal. I'm sure your where what's going on with got atoms, Miss Scott atoms.
Lost millions of dollars for simply stating that he believes that Donald Trump is a very persuasive person and correctly predicting that that power,
or persuasion would allow him to win. The presence is an aquarium. He doesn't even vote. Scott item says because he talk so much about politics. He does not want to have a dog in the fight, so he doesn't vote. He told me that on the pond cast, and so
People think that is a trump supporters like I'm, absolutely not a trump supporting those I'm analyzing the human behave exactly as it is so just a kind of repeat what I have told SAM
so there are different decision rules that one can use when they're, making a choice between the competing alternatives offers up. If you choose between cars, each cars defined by many attributes right its gas efficiency, it sets the power of its engine, its price and so on, and so they are
different ways that I could apply decision rule and choosing between car ain't card be so here's one rule? I could look at take all the attributes put them together, multiply them by the important swayed of each attribute and pick the best product. So using that decision rule, maybe Hillary Clinton would have won, because maybe, if you put all the attributes together, she ends up scoring higher than Donald Trump, but here's another decision ruled it's called lexical graphical lexical graphical will basically says. I simply look up my most important attribute. What's the attribute,
that I care most when I'm making the choice within this category, and I simply choose the alternative that scores higher on that most important attribute. So, for example, if it were cars, I only
about the power of the engine, so choose car aid,
because it has a stronger power engine right in the case of Donald Trump versus Hillary Clinton. Suppose that miles
circle. Graphic rule is I care only about the position on immigration? That's my decision. That's don't
when I look at was very reasonable for people to think that Donald Trump had a more conservative, tough view on
the creation than Hillary Clinton. So if I use
that decision rule that psychological rule, I would choose Donald Trump
would it make me a guy who is sleeping with my sister and I'm a tooth toothless guy in Arkansas and a heck? It simply means
that I'm using a particular decision rule that causes,
to choose Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton. So again, all I did not, unlike what's
Adams than his own way is offer. The different sites
the logical processes by which
A very reasonable person can end up choosing Donald Trump, rather the Hillary Clinton and its unbent
evil. The kind of fuck I got was grudges. It's your absolute area of expertise is ambitious. What's your education? Is it it's what you teach exactly? It's so strange that if it doesn't jive with people's belief systems, they get
upset at you for teaching something
it's a science right. Why call this by the way, the
the I used to love. You got sad but rules,
I used to love me. I sat by Trump. I hate you. I love saying that though they used to stay love saying that they love to try to instil a seed of regret, not just criticism but regret, because even more painful I'd like to say, I just think you
for rolling arm or fuck. You hear my fan mountaineer. What's the number one source of flak that you receive from your gigantic fan base
One the one issue that triggers them:
animals to boil now too,
Neil. I personally, like you, know Joe
I think you're a great guy, but my god you're such an idiot because of ex what's x to so many things.
We therefore do three hour Party asked us the name get a lot of facts wrong,
lots of things are remembering correctly, because a lot of like these free form conversations like we're having its not planned out the subjects are planned. I, in particular, like the divergent past,
we take sometimes will go down a path and I'll go to tat. Was it so?
worry about that thing and I'll get that shit wrong all the time, because this
I mean as good as my memory is, and it's pretty good, there's just a certain amount of data that you kid
instantaneously. Call up to that meeting
Ask me questions about certain things there
my constant data to day existence like maybe perhaps stand up comedy or martial arts, I can I get you
You a staggering amount of information off the top of my head, but there's a lot of stuff that in a week talk about in these podcast assist people say we should prepared
well, I didn't know we're gonna talk about exists, no it's one of the things it makes
conversations or interesting? So in that sense, I'm giving myself it get out a GM free pass, but I don't know
mean getting things wrongs pro the Big Walker yeah talking over people being me head things, I'm guilty of. I think the problem
the number one thing for me over the past few months has been this Trump thing: where people simply cat and the state they think I'm his water boy, which are
I'm not, but I am simply saying look very. Very reasonable people could have converged to a Trump decision vote
Don't you think? That's like one of those one hundred forty character, criticisms like it's really like I've been called a transport em, honey percent not, but because of the fact that it
the crucial thing to say to someone yet still love.
Trouble now you're fuckin Idiot like London Trump
and while I gave seven minute one bit about him of my agri, how my loving we target but doesn't
because by saying that they get diminish, you owe you a racist right. You know you're a sexist rhino, oh you're, like that one of the craziest. Why
is someone if someone gets
unfairly or unjustly or inaccurately accused of rape right, yes,
mediately that persons a rapist and they did it, and it is incredibly difficult to exonerate yourself from that.
And people who have been accused of rape me. Not people like Bill Cosby Way get accused of fifty fuckin time something crazy, but I've known people that were accused of rape and it was all
I and they were it- was done by an x and it was just someone who is a score.
Lover and those angry and they wandered to cast the worst?
possible light on this person in order to give them some tasted the pain that they feel from rejection or for whatever reason- and this is not uncommon
I mean I don't know what the statistics are as far as false rape accusations
some actual re versus people who raped don't talk about it, but either one
not invalidate the other.
Saying that a lot of women actually happen been rape, which neither you nor I would ever argue if, of course, and it's a horrible crime and a terrible fuckin thing to do
person take away their humanity in that way. That does not
does not somehow or another make it. Ok that people have false rape accusations, though that's a horrific thing to me, weaken quantify. What's worse or woods
are you now and I think we would all agree that it's probably worse, to be physically rate than it is to be accused of rape when you didn't do it, but they're both gross, but if these think that I've actually written about this, do you think that deed punishments for false accusations of rape are
too lax, because I do. I think that I dont know what they are, but I would say that they should be pretty horrific right almost to the
almost the same amount of what he would have spent in in prison,
think me, like seventy percent. I think I think we're false rape accusations, especially if you agree,
chase it down and try to give his person locked up, I'm
there's so much wrong with that. It might be like seven,
never sat of rape,
Seventy percent, meaning like seventy percent, is bad shouldn't, say a number. I don't think it's as bad as physically rewriting someone
but it's in the neighbour, but am I think of it this way, not to get to philosophical every day that a guy spends in prison as a falsely accused rapist, while you, the woman who falsely
him sitting in your house. I mean you are quote: committing the crime every day of his life right.
Every day, that you don't stubborn or washing up with astonishing right again, not diminished, that one act of rape, but you are raping this guy, metaphorically everything, if not literally, because he probably going to be rates and in prison for having that accusation on top of
had rang right, because that's a targeted programmes targeted person. So
in a sense you're, almost as diabolical as a true rapists, because you are living with that false information and every day
you're, going to buy your tomatoes and groceries unencumbered by the fact that their
the guy sitting in prison whose probably pass
some very ugly moments, because
you are unwilling to correct the wrong that you ve done. So I think it's a pretty diabolical person does that it's a devil, its deftly a diabolical,
and the problem is whenever you bring up this diabolical person
you automatically get lumped in with someone who has some sort of an enabler some system.
Endured white male privileged piece of shit, doesn't care about actual rape victims because you're more concerned with man who get falsely accused of rape right. This is another thing: it's not! It's not diminishing the actual crown array
which is one of the worst things in the world. Next, a murder, it's just a horrific terrifying. The aspect of human beings that we're even
capable of doing that, but it
doesn't mean that false rape, accusations, Asians, aren't also a horrific aspect of being a person tissue
a lot of shitty behaviour that people exhibit in soon as we lock ourselves into these. But these little groups,
that will always blindly support like. I have this bit of a doing lately about
In particular, I saw a girl's cards. Had girls, kick ass,
image of a guy had a bumper sticker. This had boys, kickass myths so
you're signing off on a hundred and sixty million people that so crazy. But it's one of those
things were will allow that, because we all agree that women have a harder go
of it in this country in particular, and other countries far more so right, and we could go back to ideology for the reason that we're talking about earlier by the way, speaking of rape,
I don't. I don't think we mentioned this ever on the show at two of my colleagues, one of them. I know well the other one, not so much if at all wrote a book around two thousand or two thousand two hundred and adaptive evolutionary explanation for rape,
he had there you go. You don't need to hear anything. Why? So?
a guy do exactly so actually solved I'll, tell you their names surround,
A thorn here was a very, very serious scientists. I'm Craig paused
They wrote a book. I think it was in two thousand now they weren't, of course justified
rape of a working condoning it? They were saying: look if you
wish to understand. Rape. Then you better have a good scientific basis for why it happens and therefore they offered.
And adapt of argument which, by the way, that's one of the main things that people weight of Lucius Ecology commit as a fallacy. They think that when you ex
in a phenomenon, your justifying it, so she explain
my men and women might cheat on one another and monogamous unions or you're, offering a scientific justification for cheating. Of course, you're not
Usually my rebuttal is the guy who
are these cancer and oncologist? Does that mean he is for Pencroft
cancer he's justifying noise just trying to explain why pancreatic cancer happens is that across the board, though, I mean what, if you try to explain why people commit violent crimes or
explain why people steel things from store? Yes, that's great question. I think there are certain phenomena that trigger
that recent more than others and it's an open, empirical question: what's the quality
of the phenomenon that causes you to react that way, I would say that its most likely the stronger person who seems to have the privilege victimizing the weaker person, proud. I got males versus female child abuse. That satellites
and failures exactly the sort of the book that got means illusion,
psychology out of us of mentioned the story before maybe on the show, it was
my first semester as a doctoral student at the corner and the professors
The vast psychology course and the professor assigned a book called homicide by two pioneers of every psychology,
been Wifey Margo, Wilson and Martin Daily, where the book is about understanding patterns of comment, criminality, Vienne, evolutionary limbs and one of the things in the book, but had struck me ass, so powerful was looking a child abuse.
In the home and then the demonstrating that there's a very clear, evolutionary reason why that happens. So let me ask you that if we discuss it
for instance, shot or things. Not. I don't recall skinny.
Guess at all. What is the number one greatest predictor of
there being a child abuse in home to phase out, but you might say all its poverty. You
Today, I would say, is probably parents that were abusing children no bigger than that bigger than much bigger. I had that one factor as a hundredfold greater than so well, typically, when you say
and was called odds likelihood ratio. One point two: so you have a twenty percent greater chance.
Getting cancer if you smoke so
Having one point, two great odds is concerned
a big number here, I'm telling you a hundredfold greater sort, something that's almost never seen in science. What is having a step parent than the home now think again, here of another animal to get the people who don't like pondered
the greater the so Ashley. It's now been called the Cinderella effect because
instead Cinderella right, she she shows that the evil stepmother loves her to biological daughters by
hates the step daughter Cinderella, so there are now think about. Would lions right in
line pride. You have a one or two dominant males who control and protect the pride
and who control sexual access to the females? There is constant testing of these males.
By bands of young males who are looking to take over and for a while.
The residents males went out and then eventually they lose
when they lose and their either killed or banished from the pride. What's the first thing, that
the new incoming bosses do they kill the babies born? They killed the baby's. What
happens to the females that the lionesses s they one killed
They go on passengers rights, so I mean instead of playing a very white music and the violin to get them in the mood killed their children and they get in the mood right, natures, rude or right, while in the context of humans, when you have a step parent, who
is not biologically linked to the child; it simply increases the likelihood of there being
abuse Ral. Usually, when you explain this, what is the first thing people say? Oh well, I grew
with a step farther. He didn't do this to me, you're an asshole or but but what are you saying?
means it's ok to do it, because you explaining itself, look how they conflate explore
meaning, a phenomenon which justify the phenomenon
so I think rape, child abuse
Probably marital infidelity are the three evolution,
very phenomena that when you
Splain using an evolutionary lens people go completely wacko dear
It makes a lot of sense. I mean it, it's something that its
you you almost can't look at. It
forbidden lodge Esper my conversely,
with some Harris avoid that topic, because you'll get too much flock and that's dangerous. Nothing should be forbidden.
So these scientists that wrote this book where they are examining rape and causes of rape. What was the repercussions so I I was
invited so roundly foreign houses University of New Mexico, and he still their great guy, went
when he invited me to one
Group invited me to give a talk at the university him, and I went
for one. I ask that question. He said at one point: there had to be constant police patrols because of all the death threats and so on, but if he was getting by, I suspect that at this point,
subsided. This is fifteen sixteen years ago, but when the book first came out, it was dangerous to be brandy phone.
This is so bizarre where people that you would think of the left right- and it is soon as you think, of people that are liberal and progressive. You think these are non violent folks. They just want peace and happiness and love, but look what happened in Evergreen. I mean this: is
Brett Weinstein's talked about the threats and then all of a sudden, you ve got vigilante patrols with teachers in baseball bat in these kids that are running around trying to justify using violence because cylinders and agree with their thoughts the whole idea of it
is a day of absence of day of inclusion, or does it day of presents right right? That was the idea. Was that why people should stay home
and once it was like that's fucking, racists leg, you can't do that and he, as he self describes as a deeply progressive person. In my conversations with him in indicating that in
a huge wave aegis of really open minded progressive guy you they doesn't, but he does.
Want racism against white people to exist anymore than he wants it against black people, but by the way
I was so he came on my show too. We had a great shout and uncertain
hiding now,
de I nanogram. Isn't he about or north if full hiding, but he certainly not on campus women's movement, he things and we said he had a move. Is family guy
even nowhere, but maybe I should well, if you look at the
Comment section. I wonder if the same thing happened when he came on your show. I was amazed
the animals that he that was being levied at him,
from people who are saying hey that guy as part of the problem he's a progressive
who created the monster that is now biting his ass, and so let him that, let's let the
and that was his own uncharted about eating out of uniting get that. But I do understand why fools we think there is not the real true progressives, like a non audio logically days progressive. It's a good thing exactly to give thing to do to north of the thanked him, and we should all be the same regardless of dread, locks or shaved head or if your white or black, it's weird thing like like sexual preference and we're talking about
before like if a man is only sexually attracted. If he says I am
actually attract by prefer white women? You are a fucking, racist
But if you say I prefer black women like spiced spices, weird right away this, this cuts both ways,
and I shall comment on this- if you say I'm attracted to overweight women, you are objective, firing and fed the shining are
corpulent bodies. Are you done? That's what they ll say: that's what they also the complainant
be happy. Somebody like sector, if you say I don't like fat women, because I'm not then of course, you're you're, a big so same thing with with black women. Right, if you say look, I just have a preference for black women
oh yeah the old stereotype of the sexual black woman, with a beautiful behind your objectify,
ass you racist. If you say you know I
they don't like that that the the body types of black
but I prefer asian women while you are racist, so all roads lead
you being an asshole. If you like them, it's bad. If you dont like them, it's bad
if you just say just enjoy dating black women because of the weather communicate
Ray, someone will probably accused. Listen at correcting somebody
for their grammar. If it's part of their dialect,
racist, so ebonic showers
was coming one we're coming here. I was us into a song by cannabis. Seats
ERA Sierra Journal,
no she's she's a hip, hop singer and at one point,
saw the she goes there. You is there? U S
I told my way,
pisses me off when they commit these grammatical errors yeah. But that is not an art thing I mean, like, I might say something, grammatically incorrect on stage or thing it's funny or than saying incorrectly. Ok, fine, if you're doing it, because it is part of that sort of the contextual ice stick but is now which is
doing is perhaps on at all it's at all
Gosh, I don't aviators rhymes better there. You are
don't say there: u yours, but would have fictitious runabout what rules it is fear,
fears. Had I champagne get my fears it look over there there? U is she'd been rapidly.
By the way you set about. You said that saying that you're attracted the black women might be rising. Did you hear the latest with the new letter that was uncovered from two bucks, a court?
you were, I checks. Then I know that he broke up with her because she was a white woman. He
broke up with Madonna Madonna yeah you only just she was annoying users, twenty five states
good way like that you can ever change. You can't change the fact that here, why that's a good move
but imagine the other way around right if, if, if she had
written him, a letter saying hey dear to I- would have loved to continue relationship, but given that your blind guy her career would be
over, but I am saying it to her. He actually
said he goes. He said if you date me, it appears as
oh you're, an exciting cool woman? But if I continued to date you a lot of the people
that made me? Who I am, would I would lose credit with them. Credit Taiwan issues thrown up pussy, correctly, probably still stuck around she's, probably annoying
by talk too much by dogs, but herself in the third person like Trump
following the I'm going to admit going to admit something. Now, that's gonna come back. The hot were nineteen. Eighty five,
my cousin and I I shouldn't be sailors, watchdog drove the Toronto
see. Madame I wanted to make eighty five choose. A fantastic performer choose a huge,
superstar turn still kind of. Is I'm just joking around about being her her being the noise is a fine thing to say I was always big Madonna,
when I was younger. I think you know too is beautiful
interesting and bold and me you don't get that without a certain
my ego mocked at egos like well. Of course you know it's like that's who she was here too. You know.
And what to park is doing. This is kind of like locked into the identity,
the politics of the ninety, ninety meters. What what where he was now?
as it is there a
person that you would love to have on your show. Who is a item that you really love.
There's a lot of em. There's one there's one
That's coming on my show, who I hadn't announced its eyes.
Hope that he doesn't somehow back out, but I mention it doesn't matter if he doesn't an upcoming. It's ok have Junior
have you heard Luton now now it's Ricky marked and I'm getting now it's eleven Lolita, Logan GINO Jean other group statistics. No
ballistics worry old soul group. That's part of jar called the Philly sound, so there's a type of black music late sixties early
have any is very soulful. Sexy solve type of music, silent site, stylists work
hopefully the epitome of that John. But this is a group that I grew up listening to all the way back eleven when I was a kid and I've made contact with the representatives of the lead singer and he's
but she will come on my shots site on top of all the people that I've had my show, all of whom have been lovely and accomplish people. I think- and I hope not
Insulting to anybody, I don't think I'm as excited to be speaking to any one which shows, by the way, the power of music right as much as I am in speaking
this gentleman, you know who, in this area,
Go there s not much? Who that's actually not a single set of birch
just under a suit co. That's the guy! That's Russell!
Cons Junior, while we throw a strong, he not what's gather falsetto voice, it was very, very high with his voice
you are every there
a further song, isn't it funny how
people used to dance and move back then like looked, everyone was like
green and there was
the thing they used to do together and that doesn't
happen anymore. I wonder what happened where people decided that synchronized singing like five men together on stage, not cool anymore? Will you do have boy bans yet back street yellow either men? Is there many of these,
men deserve this
five men moving their arms and singing in synchronicity, while people dance slowly, which no one does anymore. No dance like that, a more who fucks
Things like that anymore, who fuck dance like that dance like that anymore. It's weird right, I know so we need to bring the train.
In two thousand. When we lived in southern California, I had the crazy idea of calling the representatives of the stylus to see how much it would cost to hire them for private cars.
Somehow. I thought that a professor had enough of a salary, the higher the statistics that a private
how many people were. At least you know. I just have this fantasy that you know when to be amazing, to hire people apparently a much poorer than I think I am
I think it's five dude it was. Actually I can remember these. I remember there was something in the order. This is fifty six years ago was a member may be half a million dollars ass flying them in their feed outside
it's you see, Irvine was not pay me enough votes. I came over the exact number, but it was much more than I could afford. While will you hoping for early ten grand fifty thousand
fifty thousand you're hoping for a year.
That would seem like reasonable. That's, like you know,
I thought I had Joe Rogan money, but
they have mere professor money, that's on even fifty thousand
like. I wouldn't spend how much money you release Christ. If you could. What's your favorite group, its problem,
Metallica. My right, I love metallic. I love me some metallic special when I'm workin out, and I mean you that Tommy prior to our starting, how much you left shoe disease tramp, soon thieves, but the town,
who's your that I do not have a favorite gimme
Whaley, don't let Zepplin. Ok, let's Zepplin loaded on how they steal music.
Heavens, nor it hurts like that. Hurts me bad, not in their brothers, well what they
get exonerate ass. They paid off some fuckin. Does that do not much money? They would have to give back how much the record companies would have to give back, but it was rather than it was stolen, like in terms of the you want to play. It
play here here, let's play it, so we could just can we do with the weather forecast with Youtube fog us so will we
do this and it won't be on Youtube. So the people listening renown new to blogging your shit, but this what would do
we will synchronized. Jamie will tell you what this is and you can synchronize it. Exerting worker attacking open up to you to bananas are put up there. I can put the video in the corner, so you can see what words fifty six second video card lives up and were spirit stairway to having compare yeah so
we'll have to kind of talk a little bit of otherwise the people that are listening to this live streaming earning a get this. They can be Blake dead AIR, so this is the
regional saw. This is not
let's Zeppelin version. This is the song that lead that fucking,
Ribbed on the sound, exactly aligned, dude? It's a hundred percent? It's not like eighty percent or seventy percent. That's a hug,
percent, they stole this. This ban
Oh it's only one of many. I mean there's a lot of influences that they had from old blue songs. They added to like some other signs, which is more forgivable, almost kin to what they do today, with rap music with sand sanguine, which have any problem with it all methods kind of enhances. It makes you think about the old song, but this is
reach. So what was their position? It just happened by flew up with the same, not desire the best lawyers. They got themselves.
Some Jews as that
I submit its head, you as our law, some that are being lawyers, so here did you play the those are those book is going to verse? Almost there would have been the second one was the biofuel,
that play the second part of the first walls. The first one is stairway to having listened. Where does it go?
There's a better version. Events show the that's it compare. Ok, let's put played, go back to its. If you can,
what will see which one is? Ok here we go. This is
this is the California Band Psychedelic Ban Spirit.
This is true
this isn't that sound now, this is different as their business at the tourist
the on your listening to right now hold on a second it,
just hold on a second area here. This part.
Yeah, ok, the courts are less even a good that russian reactors a better system. Riff is the part that in question. That's it
members want the other songs and, as other songs, that how can certainly nothing's, what's that,
the potential for them. Having than some unsavory things that pretty bad ass, you couldn't have you wouldn't spent
fifty thousand dollars you have as your guest of honor, the godfather
your house, and then you say, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, let us are you
is a closet leds up, and then I was trying to tell you how much we have the first person. I know much money enough to pay like use here about these guys, like gum in the Middle EAST.
Some Sheikh there then I Adriano to go over there perform. I think, a million years ago, bargain yeah like what
didn't beyond saying, go and do some crazy concert for New Year's in Dubai, for somebody for, like five million bucks on its pays to be super famous
Yes, but he just got Jana Jackson marrying some oil she's like a forlorn, barkers burka yeah. Well,
Some of those videos need to be expunged from our collective memory and which politics out at the Superbowl.
Jason Kostiei paid six million dollars to perform in Dubai Wicked,
it's hilarious. Is there a place that you would be invited
a very large sum of money that you would refuse, because you disagree politically
or ideologically would whatever that person was him
you stands for or over sure yeah. For short, certainly David didn't you know they were bought for some price
well, it's a little bit different. What they do because they would go over there and then I guess they would know like what their material would be. You know like
if they went over there to perform ninety nine problems. The
J Zis as lyrics are out, there
now they sailor K. We would like you, can he be six?
in box. We want you to sing nigh on problems and all these differences. The lyrics are clearly established right, but if some
like me when over there and did comedy like who
was it was it who won the guests? I had in the past,
how sparks they was. How sparks that went over to
do by any he did a bit and he was told by one of the people in the eye
he was going to be arrested because he referred,
to one of the royal family by the wrong name, call
sir, instead of your highness
and so there are gonna arrest him while, but then some other member of the royal family stepped in and stopped it because he said no use respectful and he just didn't understand, tradition,
They were ready to lock him up in a fuckin cage cause. He used the wrong term, not you
disrespectful manner right, yeah, just just call them, sir.
Yeah, like that's, not the place.
An ongoing, I'm just I'm not interested in any place, look manage!
we'll problem with Canada right now. I know you know what happened in Vancouver were a comic was heckled by these lesbian ass, any shit all over them, and then they suit him and was because he had
done something to violate their human rights because they were heckling notches him, but people before him. There are disrupting alive performance. So do you think
that this trend of famous comics refusing to perform at universities is only going to continue to increase or again have we read,
The maximum amount is gonna, be blown cuz as an old Jerry Seinfeld doesn't do it Chris Rock doesn't do it right,
I haven't done since two thousand and three may be the last time as a university concentrate our sat here. I don't think they have an of life experience. You know I like
talk to people that have lived when I, when I talk to me, but I want to talk to someone who has had
fares, a love affair.
Cows and has had jobs and been fired his head education and as
I want someone with life experience. Another is anything wrong with being a teen, verse or whatever nineteen, but I want someone who's got some
living under their belts- and I know what the fuck I'm talking about. I don't have to explain everything. I don't think I did it.
Answer once a concert but did ashore
once in a universe- and I was talking about something sexual and I saw this bill
well the looks and the eyes her humming.
People are virgins. I go don't
Don't even raise your hands out incriminate you. I got just blink real fast, they started laughing, but it got real uncomfortable I go. Would you agree
I know I'm not even look at you. I go on to look at the sky,
Would you say that I would be out align if I said ten percent of you were virgins and place one? There were no. No, that's gets barber right,
we will again I'm like that's crazy. Ten percent.
Your virgins, that's like if there's two hundred people that twenty
you're, fucking virgins, really that's a lie,
people
the problem more now probing modest or not being honest, but it's not nothing wrong with being college. Obviously
but as far as like, where I want to perform, I dont have allowed it. You know if
have a day is twenty four hours in the day, I'll have a lot of ours to perform at night from performing at night I get a couple hours in. I, like I like doing actual comedy doing what
Do they want to things where comedy is its
different than any other art form in that. Like say, if you go to sea music, like you know it
you gonna go see you don't usually just sick alive music like growl. Its hope that it's all something I'm interested in you know we're going to see.
Easy, followed by Johnny Cash, followed by rail redolent. No, it's going to be that way you can go to war
Rock and Roll Club Yoda Viper room most likely in here some rock n roll. He go to a country western bar. You know you see that
I think, would stand of comedy people get upset if you're not doing like what appeals to them and their sensibilities. I am I to go to night clubs.
Well, I don't even do corporate gigs. I get a lot of offers into these corporate gigs and though
pay you a lot of money as you'll be to tame the audience they won't. Now it's just like snorted, it's not over.
Quality. Show it's like you guys. You pay! It's like your GAD, sad painful
de grand to have these guessing and you're back yard. Some weird ego thing right: I saw my friend Dana White, who these ahead of the EU, have see. He had a birthday party years back
and stone Temple. Pilots played for their due died of an overdose plant.
And dumb man saw campaign. Attention was weird stone. Temple pilots mean they caught
got everybody to pay attention got everybody move towards a stage, but people a didn't know two expects them
double pilots. Who is a big surprise and when
I even introduce them. When I introduce don't ample pilots, people didn't even think that it was really gonna, be stoned, double
I got less happy rotated. Dana thanked him for everything that I said and I'm gonna blow your Myra. Now listen, gentlemen: Stone Temple, pilots and they came out. It was really
don't apple pie, they went hard, they did their if it was really really impressive stuff because they did their full on concert like a hundred percent all
it was intense. It was really amazing, but it wasn't allow lot your pen tat
and why was why was sitting there watch and I was like you know it yeah. Never again, I'm never do
I mean I've already decided. I wasn't gonna do it. I wasn't gonna do that anyway, but I remain
something that you said. I think, and our first chat several years ago, which has resonated stuck with me: you're, comparing your career as a stand up comic or in fighting to the truth that comes in science that you, your annual, comparing that to acting, which is very from Maryland, fuzzy and you're. Saying basically look when you're a sign
First, you have to present stuff and it's either right or wrong, and people are going to judge you and you analogized it to comedy you get up in front of a crowd. You either know your enemy either funny or you going to bomb you get up at the fight. You either are red,
are you gonna get pummelled
That was a really good analogy, because there's truth and honesty in that right, there's no way to win, get as a comment you get up and you better be funny. I have at its very subject
like one thing to make my make you laugh, is there for someone. Might
think is terrible emitters of people that are fans of certain comedians that other people think or how awful it just like music.
Certain types of its it's all subjective, said psych. When you consider art, what's really did like
fighting even psych, whose
it's not necessarily, even whose necessarily better. Sometimes it's like what
happened in the moment. I sometimes deeds collide heads and it changes the course of a fight and it's not because of
skill, it's because
In the moment, something happened, chaotic irksome someone got poked in the eye and they couldn't see well, and then they got in
doubt are they the worst fighter?
not necessarily sometimes as others all sorts of unpredictable variables that come into play is a guy that I recently quote, discovered he's an italian comedian who had an hp
a special, I thought the exhaustion, some ass, a model Sancho is a body mines, but on the pact, has no kidding Larry S guy. I live usually one,
watch stun optimism our life a bit. I think this is via, but that guy and in that
sure I probably watches on Showtime Middle Showtime yeah, I literally could not stopped laughing
yet somehow his humour very
resonated with some of our sort of middle eastern,
yeah yeah yeah. I just scared so gravitate towards him- disguise fantastic.
Really as he's a great guy too he's he's like nobody hates that guy, like that guy's loved in the car
many community, but as he is, universal allies had been known for a long time. Been doing it for a long time and he's an interesting case, because when he first started out, he wasn't doing good. You know he had a really work hard at it to become who he is, but he stuck with it and chipped away.
At it and get better and better and better, and
I didn't see him for a long time, because I had taken my hiatus from the common store and
I saw him on show time when I was in.
Commodore anymore and I thought it was so fucking funny. I met a member tweeting Adam than I gotta go
the van said, do that was amazing. It's so good and I'd heard that he was doing really well, but I have
seen him perform and whose probably like sixty.
Years, five or six years at Least- and he just have done so much better- that's innate tried, you agree,
that much of our humor, I it's not something that you could teach and a workshop right. How to
funny one or one right. It's just you either have that,
every you know how to
say you have an amber
If you long you have an amber, you could become really funny, but I've been a lot of people that socked in the beginning, and they just got really good.
They because they really worked hard at an here's, the most important.
Thing in this is like it's. This relates to what we ve been talking about being objective about the actual root cause. Why people like you or don't,
like you, try to figure out what what it is about, what you're doing the people dont like and corrected, get better and
prove and nearly went improve is not
blame the audience. Oh you're a basis
Budget nostalgia injured, I mean, but people do do that and the
people to do make those excuses and dont. Instead look internally
you know. Sometimes you can have about sending essay Weena women a fact that by just one
in Tune Dan. I gotta I gotta get to readjust. I got you know I maybe I was sick that day in this always like reasons necessarily not not monsieur,
excuses rather, but
not examine those uncomfortable moments, and some people excuse themselves by that by saying that
the UN's or you know these people are assholes or you know these people are stupid. There's a bunch of excuses, a people make sense is super critically. You don't do that. You gotta look at get a look at the whole thing in early June Juke answers of actionable feedback, you look for it from other
national comics, because you trust your opinions more. Are you looking for this?
billions in the audience to give you that feedback with which one is more actionable.
Your perspective as you're trying to improve your craft is very
problematic to play for the comedians. Does comedians like weird shit
we might like something completely obscure that we don't see common in August.
Donata of audience might not be laughing and you might hear one comment in the bag of gum adds value, ridiculous and the audience doesn't think it's funny and then there's a trap that the comedian
will fall into with a start playing for their peers, specifically there's a bunch of
guys it of Botswana.
Anybody out, but there's people that of ruin their career because they essentially became the comical placed the back of the room.
The audience didn't think there are funny and is essentially they're making fun of people who try to be funny. Instead,
exonerating themselves for many real pressure to be funny,
hey, I'm here to make the comic South I'm comics com a great while the
no comics are comics conflict Dave, chapels, comics, comrades, buddy,
EL the audience to rise
because he's real he's got over the full package, where there is a lot of comics that bomb
in front of the audience. But you'll have like twenty guys in the back of the room. They think it's cool to chocolate, obscure references and very
bizarre words they get used in some serve strategy would be sort of like that right because you just follow. As references takes, you like a flow chart of twenty pages long right
I thought you know all about him wants is really file sharing. You know. He's smart has really know words.
Why, then is crazy? He
I just freezes
finds out, words is pivotal now and egoism, and evil laugh, even though there are no one is talking. So someone pleaded joke on him once where it.
Use some reference
use some reference on Dennis Mill,
that they made up. Always DOM Ira used a reference
Dat Dennis Miller that is made up and Dennis
laughing at, even though it was a real because it was like
think how to build cool too, no time to remember
story, but he was like you're his like he does. I fucked him with his own thanks tickets,
I checked with his own trick: wages used of reference is real, and he just here you re at his people, don't
to be on the outside. They people don't like to say what the exact mean right. I'm a big fan of saying. What does that mean? Because I doesn't look.
Nine hundred plus podcast with seven
people way fuckin smarter than me. So I
I have to say on an old I mean like gonna beat you mean, but there's a weird thing where people don't liked and they equate
not having information with somehow another being less intelligent rights, which is a really bizarre thing, because it's ok if
talking to someone about something that you couldn't possibly have. Data on, like you know,
however, a video game right? You don't play like what's it about like? Has a girl like that's? Ok, that's fine, but as soon as its something about like some sort of cultural reference or perhaps a book that maybe you should have a knavish is youths who that's a weird damn you know it's weird thing to be somehow the two field diminished by information or lack of it. So funny that you says, because in middle classes, as students will oftentimes asked,
the question that has been stopped.
And I will usually answer you know why I actually don't know the ESA. Could you sent me
emails. I could look it up out of date
I really impressed by that honesty as yours, impressive hell, yeah, Siberia ethics, humility areas, yet.
The other hand, when I know something I come out with the bravado,
I know my shit try, Azores or have the have the humility to know what you know what you don't know as the old saying sense, what you have to be that way:
you would say bravado. It's like a pride of hard work
mean usual accumulated a massive amount of knowledge of seat. From seeking this knowledge
and studying very hard, so it something that we should be proud of, but it's not something that you look at when you're, proud
that you're, not diminishing other people, that don't have that information, you're saying like
This is what I know to be true, and this is in fact this is undeniable right, but that's a beautiful thing.
You could also say. I dont know about something that you don't know right. That will give the people that are listening. That would
them so much more of a sense of respect for you venture. Then.
Horse shitting around and pretending at such a weird thing. The people do and
With the media offered times they want
the two way and on things as a scientist which you'd
feel that your area of expertise would allow you to and they get frustrated because then they feel as though you
We advocate a better look, I'm sorry, but I'm not willing to make that statement. Would that level certainty, but they wanted, because that's what the headline has to say and then they get frustrated that you're tiptoeing, but I'm just being humble
about? What is true in what I dont think knowledgeable enough to say is true. You I've had people get upset me about talking about upcoming, martial arts fights because
I dont give predictions are very, very, very rarely give predictions unless there's some gross mismatch. It really should be happening in the first place
because you really have no idea. What's going to happen, there's a high likelihood that some thing might happen. If I look at the way,
one guy moves verses. Another guy moves and go into my data base of experiences of seeing a lot of life.
Competition and knowing what one person is capable of I can make so I can make a statement
the reason the ball certain day, but I dont know if there are injured and training. I don't know they come into the fight sick. I don't love their break
over there girlfriend. I dont know if they got staff infection. Two weeks before the finer on antibiotics do so
the variables I dont know if they might get head budded like we talked about earlier
or they might have an injury like in the middle.
The fight like something goes wrong. There need blows out. There's somebody variable has a thing between the boxer and the ever make. I haven't had a thing see. This is
love when I connect soldier. I know I love that anonymous criticising you, but I love when someone is so far removed, but there,
still aware of something like a big cultural event. Know it takes
he's August. Twenty six, I think, even
unbelievable novice when it comes to the stuff. I think I could make a prediction here in front of your huge podcast that the area-
hey, guys, gonna get trashed correct,
I would imagine that most likely, he is going to lose a boxing match to the exact boxer that has ever so. What's our line of this fine just fur from for my name thing, if you want to see a figure skater play hockey against Wayne Gretzky-
Ok, so why would the guy put himself up for that?
potential humiliation, my dollar dollar bills, and I'm your show now he has not. I fucked up. I should have had a mind back before blew up he's too big. Now,
I refer to him as Conrad last summer someday right. Well, you see something like that. His name's Connor caught rigour, ire
he's a
a real MIDI Yorick entity in the
the most media can all combat sports he became so
AMOS so quick and for
Exists, it is a real unicorn in a lot of ways gets so many different things going for him, handsome guy
brutal, knock out, artists, predicts to outcomes and pulls them often
and has been incredibly successful in a short period time, one to world titles in two different way classes and is arguably the gray
is trash talker. Ever he trash talks better than anybody
There is actually a big things going on today, right the press conference. Actually, I'm really famous scalping tickets outside of forty bucks are not too much
it is, as I have already it's a famous free, my neck,
he was probably all over that stuff re, probably yeah. It's it's some! It's the power
Scotland's itself will be a show, because
this guy's, so good at getting people riled up and talk and shit and that's half the fun like.
I wish I was too young to appreciate the Mohammed Ali days, but I would imagine that, like men, Mohammed Ali was Channel
Sonny wisdom, like half of the fun
Mohammed Ali Talk and shit like this guy's crazy. I was now a mechanism when I
on some random person online and I just have fun with it. Sometimes people miss understand this to be getting past. Ravages have
just doing bantering. I'm usually doing this with a smile on my face, but they think of it as though, but I'm just try.
Stocking yeah yeah
thing man, it's like engaging with
but I dont know if sometimes that person's insane and then they'll make it a career to go off,
God sat all day long. It's like its interacting with people in text, for
is very problematic rights, is does like a lot of issues. You, don't you don't get social cues candy. I just can't you know like in our conversation, we're gonna go back and forth and
you say something in our react to it and we laugh and we see each other all that's missing when you're writing things in Elvis,
especially if someone like writes a blog about you, have some. We listened to what you said on the spot Cason. They write a blog about defining you. He is a man that does this his whole career. Is this and you
Read it like SAM Harris's, just explaining something to me that someone did about him and
I read it out. I was so weird way to describe.
I been interact with the person you ve never met credible to write a word.
Inside and thing where you don't even know the guy, you don't really know, but really known
Not you ve seen some videos that really smuggling and the issue and that you would muster such animus towards a person that you haven't met right I mean I am unfortunate enough to not have too many of these haters controls, but there is one or two guys that have come to my attention that
seems as though they spend ninety percent of their day. Do any trash stuff about me and you think what what could it be that I could
so trigger in them that they would construed
as a valuable use of their time, to take on some one whom they ve never even met, but somehow there pissed at you and they think it's a worthwhile cars to trash talk. You all
What's a weird thing, even if they have a valid point, become some sort of weird symbiotic, slash parasitic relationship with the person
You criticise, like you or inexorably connected to them. They are your enemy, you think about them all the time and by virtue that you become part of them or they become
part of you exert that's a real thing about thinking right like
when you're on stage, and you are giving a lecture one
The more amazing things it happens when someone is on stage talking about something? Is you allow them to kind of think for you in the sense that when you are in
one of the reasons why it is so important to be articulate and so important to be very
aware of what you got.
To say in advance. The power comes out smoothly in his good entertainment value too. It is that its pleasing to listen to
for you. You are aware of how annoying certain speech patterns can be in you. Avoid those you aware of how compelling other speech balance can be new embrace those
makes it pleasing for the personal isn't as they can to sit back and listen
you talk about evolutionary psychology, whereas
when a person socks at it. It's
grading its painful gets in your head. You you're not
negative with them, you're, not allowing them to think about, for you, there's there's that that happens with comedy too
when someone is really good, like you see, like a great comic like up loose,
see care. Someone like that, when he's on stage unease is really in the groove UK,
of allowing him to think for you by illegal letting him take the reins of your imagination and your mind in your vigilance. Asian boy must be a tough job, because I always think what, if you just had a fight with Europe
Wife, I've had that before a piss right,
ten minutes, I don't give a shit.
But your fight you have to perform ray,
I'm gonna comedy you have I give you SAM Kennison, it's probably better cause you Angolans tat. You would go and stays.
Really angry. Pumped I mean they're really depends on what you're trying to do. It also depends
like what the fight was about, whether or not you are wrong or she was wrong I would be,
way better off, go on state,
if someone wronged me verses. If I wrong them,
you're very wrong someone, my feeling, the intrusive thoughts in your head remorse inch
I just in and re examining your own behaviour patterns and finding fault gnomon. Just fine, that's that's! The last thing I want to do is, like
meet someone wrong and then go on stage. But if someone
you did me like shit than one stage. I probably feel exonerated in I feel like. I feel
I probably energized it out interesting, very interesting.
I'm not sure what how much I have left I died too. We did. Three hours is valid raising neck and by next time will tell
good luck. As you mentioned, I guess it's relate to regret. Yeah, we'll talk about the psychology of regret. Psychology, regret outsmart exit
always a pleasure. My friend, I really really enjoy these guidelines. Thank you so much and
