It's been nothing but Ukraine war, Russia war, Ukraine, man, it's crazy. There's other stuff going on in the world, but this one does seem to be the most pressing. We do have the Freedom Convoy making its way, and we do have a bunch of other crazy stories too, but man, I've been looking back at all the news and it's just endless talk of what's going on in Ukraine because obviously people keep saying World War III. The latest, Russia has apparently blocked access to Facebook, so it's like, as all these companies say, we're going to censor you or sanction you. Russia is just like, okay, get out. We're done

with this. But it does feel like Russia is becoming increasingly more isolated because even China seems to be backing off a little bit. Brazil and India are kind of like, yo, we're neutral on this one. So I don't know if Russia will be able to hang out for much longer, but I do think they may end up winning at least their objectives here. Now, Donald Trump has come out and said he told Putin and Xi he would nuke them if they went after Ukraine or Taiwan. And so basically he's confirming the story, which is crazy. And then we've got a bunch of other crazy stuff.

One thing I really want to talk about tonight, there's this ad I got on Twitter for an artificial intelligence, like, girlfriend or friend. It doesn't say girlfriends, it's friend. And it's just really creepy. So I want to remind everybody, don't date robots! From Futurama.

But we'll talk about that too. And we're going to be talking about the World Economic Forum. Critical race theory with none other than the foremost expert on critical race theory, author of Race Marxism, James Lindsay. Yeah. He's like, yes. Yes, all of those things. Those things Marxism, James Lindsay. Yeah. He's like, yes. Yes, all of those things.

Those things. The World Economic Forum. Yeah. Yes. What are you doing? Who are you? What's going on? I'm somebody.

You're a sword fighter. I am a sword fighter a little bit. I mean, we were sword fighting a little bit. Not like that. James. Oh, my gosh. Strong start. James disarmed me.

I did. With a wakizashi. Oh, cool. That's right. So, you know, I did. With a Wakazashi. Oh, cool. That's right. So, you know, keeping up with things, traveling a lot, talking a lot, getting around the country, being the world's, I guess, foremost expert in critical race theory, as I've been billed. Oh, yeah. Smeagol must take names that he's given.

Well, it makes the show seem more prestigious, you know, and I'm like, this guy's the best. Yeah. A white guy is the foremost expert in CRT? How offensive. How offensive. I'm a non-practicing white, though guy's the best. A white guy is the foremost expert in CRT? How offensive. How offensive. I'm a non-practicing white, though. It's okay. I don't believe in practicing my race.

Go figure. He's a lapsed white. So are you like baptized white and then just stopped doing it? Or you fall away in your teens? Yeah, I think that's how that works. Raised white for a few years, but then left the race. Yeah. Like what's her face?

Rachel Dolezal. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but no, she tried to adopt another race. I just checked right out of the whole system. She converted. I started clicking other on all the boxes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You just got to check them out.

So we'll be talking to James about a lot of stuff. We got to Seamus of Freedom Tunes. Seamus of Freedom Tunes. Yeah, I make cartoons. I have a YouTube channel called Freedom Tunes. If y'all want to check that out, we released a cartoon yesterday on Joe Biden's State of the Union,

and we're working on some tunes next week about the industrial military complex as well as the woke military training. So I think you guys will like that. Go there, subscribe, stay tuned. And also really excited for tonight's show. Ian Crossland over here. Nothing too deep to report yet,

but I am on board and reporting for duty I am stoked as well because James knows how to talk and he knows what he's talking about this is going to be a great conversation tonight

we love having James yeah I'm kind of tired so I'm just going to be like James just tell us everything I'm going to sit back here and get my phone I've been playing Lemmings recently

Lemmings is are you kidding me it's one of my favorite games yeah it was amazing that game was amazing are you an emulated version? No, the mobile version's weak. It's like you can make stairs.

Dude, we have a Sega Genesis downstairs. I'll get one of the cards. You guys need to mod that and get the NPC faces on the limit. Yes. That's cool. That's amazing. No, for real. I could do that in 20 minutes.

They support all the things. They're just falling off the cliff. Yeah, it's perfect. That's a brilliant idea. We're not paying you for that, but we will use it. We should make a game where it's kind of like Lemmings, but it's NPCs.

For those that don't know what Lemmings is, 30 little Lemmings will walk around and walk back and forth and you can assign tasks to them. Dig a hole or block someone or shoot rope across a gap or something. Paint black lives matter on a street. On a tentative, they just keep walking until they die.

You've got to try and guide them to the right place. Exactly. So they just walk and the idea is you have to get them from the entrance to the exit of the level with as few as possible dying. It's a great game. It's really a great game. The mobile version is really weak

because in the original game, there was like 20 different jobs you could give them. in the mobile version there's like four oh yeah i mean there's actually maybe like seven or eight yeah it's well and it's it's very strategic because you have a limited number of jobs you can assign so like on some levels there can only be like three climbers or two diggers it's awesome well i mean it's a fun game we should make it npcs all right before we get started talking about you know more serious but probably not, go to TimCast.com.

We are principally supported by website memberships. We started the site a year ago, just over a year ago, and it was funny because for the longest time I was like, we rely too heavily on YouTube, on ads, and that is a huge weakness, especially with activists going crazy. And so we set up the website, which has become our main way that we fund and maintain this operation, which gives us a lot of leeway and provides us that safety net. And it also allowed us to create an editorial department where we write articles and do our own sourcing and our own fact checking and our own original reporting.

So that's all thanks to you. Plus, we've released books and a new show called Pop Culture Crisis.

Russia blocks access to Facebook and Twitter. Oh, man. Good. The move to block Facebook and Twitter comes as the government passed a bill that criminalizes fake reports against the war. You know, it's funny. I'm not a fan of censorship for the most part. You know, I think it's obviously there's nuance here. Censoring some stuff is important and good. Like we talk about child abuse, criminal acts and stuff. That's where the censors are really supposed to be like, OK, that is crime like against children and humanity. Get rid of it. But when I see russia banning facebook and twitter i get it i feel like this kind of

catharsis of like i wish i wish just get rid of it i know it's so i hate it so much but it is truth be told twitter and facebook are still pretty good despite all of the bad and there lies the real challenge the ability for regular people to actually have a voice even if they do face censorship and that's why we resist the censorship here because the power granted to the people by these platforms was good and now they're trying to take it back because they realize they made a mistake. Well, I'm generally against censorship. I generally agree with what you just said. The only really kind of interesting thing, I don't know that it's even

directly connected to this, the kind of interesting thing, I don't know that it's even directly connected to this. The only really interesting thing that I think, I tweeted this this morning, I think people got really mad about it, is that one of the utilities of Facebook in particular, more than Twitter, but Twitter has this too, is if you have some controversial narrative thing going on, some controversial activity, whether it's Ukraine, whether it's a virus, whatever it is,

one epistemological tool, to sound very philosophical, that's emerged in the past few years is whatever Facebook will ban is probably true. Yes. So if you want to find out what's going on with Ukraine or with a virus or with the World Economic Forum or whatever it is, or the critical race theory, you probably need to just post some edgy stuff on Facebook and see what they ban. You've got to add a little bit of that age to your impersonation. Like he talks like this.

Well, I don't have any marbles in my mouth. I just drank an energy drink for weeks. Yeah, do we have marbles? Yeah, you've got to stuff your cheek with like toilet paper or marbles. Yeah, I'm very excited. It's your world economic forum. I hear what you're saying about the utility of Facebook in that sense. It's also true of the fact checkers that they're in bed with.

I found them incredibly useful in the past. So I remember there was one instance about two years ago where I was doing research on a video about the scandal with Biden's son in Ukraine and the investigator being fired by Joe Biden effectively because he said he would withhold aid to their country and one of the fact checkers that i found and i was looking up i wanted to look up debunkings of this to see how strong the argument against the the potential for foul play was and the response was well it's true that joe biden told them to withhold the funding for ukraine unless they fired this prosecutor but that was the official policy of the obama administration in general it's like, oh, right, because Biden had nothing to do. The vice president of the administration had nothing to do with the policy of the Obama administration. No, no, no, no, no.

But think about that for a few seconds. Yes, Joe Biden did try to push an illegal quid pro quo, but Obama told him to do it. So it's okay. It's like, okay, well, should Pence have done this and then it would have been okay? Like, because Trump wanted it to happen? It's just hilarious because in these fact checks, they will always try to use their best argument against something which in a number of cases is actually true. And they reveal their hand in doing so. And so there is a lot of utility there. Mostly false. For us, context missing.

Yeah. We don't want you to believe it. Mostly false is like my favorite. Partly true. Because there was one instance where on PolitiFact, there were two quotes. One was from Trump and one was from Bernieie and they were almost verbatim identical and trump's was mostly false and bernie's was mostly true and it was something like trump saying you know like inner city black youth have a 51 unemployment rate and bernie said like the same thing but

bernie's was mostly true and they're like well bernie does get this wrong it is while trump gets most of this wrong some some of it is. Along the lines of like who is saying it defines if it's true or not. That's very disturbing to me. It's true. There are other examples. How do you quantify truth? Like, you know, when they say mostly peaceful protest, how do you quantify when it's most?

I got it. Ninety percent. Ninety three percent peaceful. Seven percent fire. Is that hilarious? That's seven. That was the actual number. Is that hilarious? That's seven? That was the actual number.

And that's the thing. Well, they used that number as if it was some kind of own. Like, only 7% of them are violent. Are you insane? This is a country of 330 million people, and these protests are popping up everywhere. Even if it is only 7%, that's insane. No, no, no. It's like the weather, okay? So this is the misconception people have is when they say it's a 40% chance of rain, they're not saying flip a coin, it might rain.

They're saying 40% of the day might be rain. I don't know if that's true. That's why I've heard like people – they've done these internet arguments. That's how I get a view of the 93% to 7% thing with BLM. They're not saying of the 100 protests, 93 were peaceful. They're saying of the 100 protests, in all of them, 7% of the time was extreme violence. Which again conflicts with that I've cited on the show before, which is that 70% of major city police departments reported officers being injured during these protests.

And you're telling me only 7% of them were violent? I think in combat or in war, most of the time is not combat. Then you have a burst of it. So probably less than 7% of the time a soldier, even a combat soldier, is in combat or in war, most of the time is not combat. Then you have a burst of it. So probably less than 7% of the time a soldier, even a combat soldier, is in combat. 7% is a lot of time for destruction to be going on. Yeah, I mean, that means there's like a good half hour out of the protest. Notably a violent protest. Yeah, smashing windows and stuff like that or burning down buildings.

Not just buildings. You have to burn down buildings specifically in a poor black neighborhood for Black Lives Matter. Just like get the stats right. Because insurance will take care of it. Of course. Because insurance means anyone can destroy anything for any reason and it'll be fine. We're talking about like if you believe the – if you have faith in the person, then

you believe what they're saying and if Trump says it, you're like, nah, he's lying. I came across this internet video last night of – you know Eileen Waranos? You guys know who this woman is? She was like a hitchhiker and she carried a gun and killed seven guys. She was like, I had a gun, and if the guys attacked me, I would defend myself. And the cops knew it, and they let me keep killing. Eventually, after seven deaths in a year, they arrested her and put her to death. Death row.

So she gave this speech. She was taking all this meth. Her skin's all ripped apart. And she's like, I had to do it. I had to do it. And you're like, oh, this evil woman. But then they deep fake Christina Pazitsky's face on it, Christina P., the beautiful comedian. And it's this beautiful woman.

It's still Eileen's story, but it's with a beautiful face. And you're like, I understand why you had a gun and why you were defending yourself. Because when you see a beautiful person saying it, it has a different meaning than an ugly person it is terrifying true to think that that that is real it's on it's on instagram this guy brian monarch his page what does it have to do with what we're talking it's it's a deep fake of like like you're saying biden says something and everyone's like yeah and then trump does it and they're like oh it's evil right like all of a sudden but the met is the same exact in this case it's the exact brian monarch it's the exact same voice it's her with a deep fake image and it has a different meaning it's very well and this is one of the huge problems one of the many huge problems with hollywood but they're always

casting extremely attractive people even to do completely reprehensible things scroll down so i think it makes those things seem more normal or likable to a lot of people 25 weeks ago is a while yeah it's been up for a long time this is repressive tolerance y'all of course i have to do the stupid philosophy thing right so 1965 leader of the new left herbert upper right upper right there's repressive tolerance you'll see well this maybe you won't see but when we do it trump and biden you will and you gotta see this is this is the deep fake yeah yeah i mean we'll talk about this i don't i'm kind of confused as to what we're talking about.

Once you see the video, you'll know it's three minutes. It's her like basically on death row and they're giving her a final interview. And she's like, I've come to peace with it. You know, you're all a bunch of this and that. And it's just so bone chilling to see that same sentiment with a beautiful face. Because I was getting like empathy. I was like, wow, maybe she shouldn't have been put to death. Right.

So this is what's going on. There's been a very, actually, I hate to maybe pin this on the guy because i thought he was funny too but i call us the john stewart effect there's been a relentless campaign for a very long time to make conservatives bad ugly and stupid to the general population so trump is bad ugly and stupid by this metric bernie is a leftist's old. He's doing the best he can. He's got the right message. But this is repressive tolerance. Herbert Marcuse, a leading leftist or Marxist thinker of the 1960s, writes an essay in 1965 called Repressive Tolerance. The argument, and I kid you not, I don't exaggerate at all, the thesis statement of the argument is literally movements from the left must be tolerated even when they're violent. Movements from the right

must not be extended tolerance at all. And so this is why you see that disparity we live in marcus's world we live in the neo-marxist architecture that this guy created he's very influential he wrote a book in 64 called one dimensional man sold 300 000 copies in the first year if i'm not mistaken this stat might be it might be over its lifetime but i think it was over the first year very influential widely credited as the most influential leftist thinker. So he laid out an architecture where the leftist line of thought is, when we do it, it's good. It must be tolerated. And anybody who doesn't tolerate us is a fascist. If the right does it, it's bad, period. It must not be tolerated. I wasn't exaggerating. If we pulled up the essay,

you could actually find the quote that that is the thesis statement of the essay movements from the left must be extended tolerance movements from the right must not be extended tolerance to the point he says do you prevent right-wing people from even being able to form the thought in other words he says this is censorship and even pre-censorship, which I'm not even sure what pre-censorship is, so that the thought can't even enter their head. And this is the double standard that we run into where you see the mostly true, mostly false for Bernie versus Trump. This is the double standard that the left has erected. And everybody tries to point out, oh, they're hypocrites, oh, they're hypocrites. And finally, it's so exciting for me to see it.

Finally, people are catching on. It's not hypocrisy. It's hierarchy. They're actually asserting we are better people than you. We are smarter people than you. We are more moral people than you. And we are saner people than you. And therefore, you have to put up with all of our crap. And we're going to put up with literally none of your crap. And that's why you see that dichotomy of mostly true, mostly false, when it's literally the same statement from Trump and Bernie.

This is why I get frustrated when I see see Joe Rogan apologizing to these people. Cannot apologize. Because when he did, it only made things worse. It made the story bigger, and it made the story more pronounced. It made the story last longer. And you know what I love is I actually really enjoy when they get triggered and they flip out. I'm trending again. So this is the craziest thing.

I was trending for like – I think I have been swatted more times than anyone else in like this short of a period. I have been trending more and I'm like, what am I even doing? It's really simple actually. I'm not calling anybody any slurs. I'm not insulting people. But they're getting extremely angry at me because I don't care about them. And so when I tweeted, I tweeted, I despise appeals to emotion in response to a translator who was crying, talking about Zelensky. Then all of a sudden they come out and they try making it out to be that I'm insulting Zelensky.

And I wasn't. My response was because Twitter put an editorial up on the what's happening, saying podcaster Tim Pool, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I said I drafted my formal apology to this tweet, wiped my ass with it,

and threw it in the trash. And they got really mad about that because it's hierarchy, right? That's right. They're supposed to be able to tell me that what I did was wrong, and I just laughed in their faces. And when you do that, it's the crying Wojack npc meme like that's right that's right they get so mad

they they start they start swatting rogan should have either ignored it or made a joke and then moved on well i mean i i not to give the guy advice but i well my attitude is insult them and if they counter insult them again and if they counter keep insulting them and laughing while you laugh while you do it that's our twitter well into your point i mean this is almost perfectly summarized by aoc's quote that she will be chastised she'll be chastised for being factually inaccurate when she's morally correct so even when they say something which is blatantly untrue it's okay because their agenda is good and pure. And to bring her into it again and bring it back to fact checkers, there was a hysterical example where she said that she was in the main Capitol building during the quote unquote insurrection. And she was not. No, she didn't say she was in the Capitol building.

No, she didn't. No. This story is so much worse than I'm surprised the right never caught this like I actually briefly mentioned it

to Ben Shapiro and he was surprised he was like wow nobody caught that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed that while the insurrection was occurring

there was a bang on her door that's right and they and a guy and she ran and hid in the bathroom and then she heard

a voice where is she yes where that's what she did on her video and then she was like this is it she thought she was going to die so i actually saw that and i started looking at the time stamps and seeing what was going on and then i said at this time she was talking about this this time there's people standing around in the hallways of the congressional building no one's worried what is she talking about i had a huffington Post reporter tell me my timeline was wrong and that I was actually showing video from the bomb threat. And I responded to them, that's the time frame that AOC claimed the guy was knocking on her door,

which would mean the guy knocked on her door well before anyone breached the Capitol building. And this guy from the Huffington Post was like, oh, yeah, you're right. Hey, how about that? AOC made the whole story up. What it really was was a cop knocked on her door because of the bomb scare. She was not afraid for her life. Nothing had even happened. No one had breached any buildings.

Nothing had happened. She made the whole thing up. Yeah, well, there was – when she said she was – so she had this whole story. And I can't remember who it was pointed out that it wasn't true. She wasn't at the Capitol building at the time. And then the fact checker said – She never said she was at the Capitol building. Okay.

She never said she was at the Capitol building. Interesting. She said she was in a congressional office in a different building. And this was significant because the fact checker started saying all the conservatives were wrong because she wasn't in the Capitol building. And then for me, I was like, I never said she was. I watched her Instagram 45-minute video or whatever and said she fabricated the story, and I laid out the timelines. I'm surprised the conservatives didn't catch that she fabricated that story.

They were criticizing her saying, well, but she wasn't in the Capitol, but still it's an absurd story. And it was just like, dude. It's kind of like reading an article until you see the word you're looking for and then you stop reading as soon as you like get confirmation of what you think you thought you wanted to see then you're like i don't need to research any further they were saying that like she was claiming she was scared but she wasn't even the cap capital building the fact checkers came out and said yes but there are tunnels connecting the capital to the congressional offices so it's reasonable that she would be scared the insurrection

has made it there. And then my response was, no, it isn't. Her story happened a full hour before anyone got near the Capitol building. Unless AOC knew they were going to do it. Hey, maybe the feds should question her as to how she knew they were going to be storming in the building. Maybe. That's right.

James, I want to follow up on what you're saying about Marcuse's, what was the phrase you call it? Repressive tolerance. Repressive tolerance. Because I find that, I'm going to write this what you're saying about Marcuse's – what was the phrase you call it? Repressive tolerance. Repressive tolerance. Because I find that – I'm going to write this down, actually, repressive tolerance. When you – they try and basically it sounds like not eradicate the right, but they're trying to preempt the right by making it so they don't even – whatever that means, the right, that they don't even have thoughts. They don't even think the thoughts. What I'm finding is if you try and destroy part of a dichotomy, it's like a magnet.

You have a north and a south. And if you break it it in half the new piece still has a north and a south so if you eradicate the right you're essentially creating a new left and a new right and then you have to eradicate that right yeah which then creates a new left and a new right which is ever smaller yeah and you're ripping society in half over and over again yeah so he actually defines what the left is is the people who want to have a whole new society. In other words, a revolution. In other words, Marxists. When does it end?

Hold on. Hold on there a minute. Good, sir. I would like a whole new society. I would like I would like constitutional constitution to be upheld. I would like the Federal Reserve to be, you know, not. I would like our system of governance to actually be representative i i would like i would say that uh i consider myself to be particularly revolutionary in that

our system is broken in a large variety of ways and i think most trump supporters agree with that yeah that's because maga is class consciousness right the only thing is i don't think we should be like i don't know burning it down and killing people and smashing windows we should be like you know going through paperwork and being like hey hey, guys, I think this would work better. And then we say, all right, let's give it a shot. Yeah, absolutely. So, yeah, MAGA is class consciousness. Marx, it turns out, surprisingly, wasn't totally wrong.

Marx believed that when capitalism reached an advanced enough stage, when it reached a late enough stage, it would seize so much control and become so corrupt that eventually the working class would awaken and realize, hey, wait, we are being screwed over by the power elite, and we need to seize the means of production, etc. The problem was Marx thought what the working class would want is equity. Everybody made equal, everything shared equitably. What it wants is freedom. The human spirit cries to freedom. It does not cry to, let's share all of our crap.

It cries to freedom. He was not a smart man. Marx? Yeah, Marx. No, not particularly. He's also a very entitled, spoiled brat man. He spent down his parents' money. He spent down his wife's family's money.

He spent down Engels' money. When Engels did not marry the, we'll say, love of his life. I don't know. They lived together 20 years relationship. She dies, right? Marx writes a letter to Engel's, who's his cash cow. And in this letter, he writes a couple of sentences at the beginning, like, oh, that's sad. I'm sorry to hear that. And then he writes 30 something sentences about his financial problems. And could you send a check to Engels when this love of his life dies. That's the letter he sends. And so much so that Engels, who's basically been like his little lapdog on a leash this whole time, is like, oof, bro, not even. By the way, here's your check.

Because total cuck. But he was not a good guy. He was not a good guy. But think about it. Doesn't he represent the modern left in so many ways, like very well? No, exactly. He's just like them. Exactly.

Or they are just like him. Right. They are the children of his entitled and ignorant and naive ideology. That's right. It's – when you actually – when you think about the universe and what it takes to create and survive and to maintain, you have a very different worldview. But when you're born into luxury and you don't understand, like, it's, I view it as somebody who understands physics and they understand the building blocks of reality, and physicists

tend to, then they have a general understanding of how things are connected and what you need to make a certain thing work. But then imagine you have like a fifth grade science teacher who doesn't know anything about physics because he's just got hired for the job and they put him in the science department and he doesn't understand what he's talking about. He's like, I should be able to do this and it should work and it doesn't. He doesn't understand the underlying principles that make a machine work. When you have people who are born into luxury, they don't understand the base components of existence, of an economy, of hard work, of what made the economy good, family structure, for instance. So they say, well, now that we're floating on top of this cloud well above where all the worker bees are, what do we want?

If you grow up, if you develop your mind without seeing the hard work required to maintain, then you will not advocate for its maintenance. That's right. And that's what Mark says. It's not hard to get food. It's just at the grocery store. Yep. And that's exactly what people said to me when I criticized UBI. When they were shutting down these stores from COVID, I actually had a guy tweet at me. I said, the dairy farms are dumping the dairy because they can't get the processing plants to take it because the processing plants can't get the plastic cartons and the cartons aren't being made. The whole economy is sludged up. And then I said, so when this all shuts down, where do you get your milk from? And I actually had a guy on Twitter say, what do you mean?

The grocery store. And I said, where does the grocery store get it from? And they said, what are you talking about? It's just there. No, no, no, no. That guy had to be messing with you. No, no, no, no. That guy had to be messing with you, dude. No, no, no, bro. He had to be going.

You see, you got to watch out for that, Ian. I just can't even respond to people like that. I feel like they're messing with me. One of the biggest problems humans have is they assume if I know it, so do you. And that is most people. So this guy's perspective is I believe it's true that milk is just at the grocery store where you get it i'm not going to give any of these people the benefit of the doubt when they advocate for something like universal basic income to an extreme degree because i understand there's

some things that we could probably discuss in terms of that but to an extreme degree where it's like you know social distribution of all funding and when i try to explain it to them their argument is quite literally ubi works because the food is just sitting there. And if I had the money, I could have it. And then I'm like, the money serves a purpose. It lubricates the economy. It is the medium of exchange so that energy can move from one place to another. Without the system in place, it doesn't work. And they're just like, but milk is at the grocery store. You said you think there's some value to a UBI or some instances it might work? I don't want to be absolute on outright saying, in general, UBI is impossible or whatever. What I'm saying is, for the most part, I believe it doesn't work, especially based on the way our

society exists today. Unemployment is kind of like UBI, except you have to not work to get it. So it's not universal. Incentivizing people to quit their jobs or to get fired on accident or whatever. So that could be a form of UBI where you don't have to lose your job to get it. So it's like incentivizing people to quit their jobs or to get fired on accident or whatever. So that could be a form of UBI where you don't have to lose your job to get it. I don't know about that because by definition, if it's universal basic income, it has to go to everybody, including the employed. I'm saying someone might come with an argument about something I didn't consider.

That's why I try to be completely absolute on it. I think that would be ignorant. Here's an interesting little aside since we mentioned the World Economic Forum. And I read Z. Klaus Schwab's books, right? Z. Klaus Schwab. Z. Klaus Schwab. Z. Schwab. Z. Arnold Schwab.

Z. Schwab. Z. Arnold Schwab of the Klaus. He talks like a Bond villain. He looks and sounds. He's right out of Central Castle. Everyone knew Palpatine was going to be the emperor. It was pretty obvious. Maybe the only reason.

Hold on. Maybe he only reason. Hold on. Maybe he's right. The only reason we don't trust him is because he seems like a Bond villain. We were talking about this earlier. Let's de-fake him. Let's put a less Bond villain-y looking face on his head. He may be the anti-hero. Is this real?

It's real, dude. That's not real. It turns out. He's dressed like a Sith. He looks like Darth Vader. He looks like what Anakin was wearing when he turns into Darth Vader. I think they're just getting bold. Hillary Clinton dresses like a dictator and always has.

It's a weird thing. She dresses like Kim Jong-un. They either just don't understand how bad it looks or they're trying to test the waters, see what they can get away with. Hold on, hold on. I actually know the explanation for this outfit. But I don't want to tell people the explanation because it's funny to not know what it is. Literally, there's some weird university in europe that gave him a doctorate and that instead of the normal doctorate robes

that's what they wear so it's like wow he's like a it's academic regalia in like some sith university of lithuania or something like that you know you know what they learned that universe you know what they learned at that university? The Jedi wouldn't tell you. Yeah, yeah. So who is this guy? Tell us about Klaus Schwab. So Klaus Schwab is the chairman of the World Economic Forum.

The World Economic Forum was his brainchild back in 1971. He comes up with this idea, the World Economic Forum. The idea is to bring big corporate leaders together with government leaders, with NGO leaders, with other movers and shakers, I guess, like Greta Thunberg, and get them to rub elbows in massive fancy ski resorts and these kind of future visionary kind of how are we going to shape future society meetings that for very many years were famously held in Davos. I've been to Davos for the World Economic Forum. Really? Not actually at the forum, but in the peripheral events. Oh, yeah.

Well, that's him. And so he wrote this series of books. His first book, which I actually have not yet read, I've only skimmed through it, I have it, is called Stakeholder Capitalism. So his goal is to shift capitalism out of a shareholder model into a stakeholder model where there will be these unelected technocrats, experts like Bill Gates, who are going to tell us what the right virus policy or environmental policy or social policy or whatever. Well, Bill Gates is a famous scientist, right? Well, he's a famous computer guy. Computer scientist. He's not a scientist.

He's a computer guy. So he's a famous medical doctor? I don't think he's a medical doctor. You would think so. A virologist? Not in my range of knowledge. He works in medical in some way? No, he talks about it a lot.

I think he works in medical in the sense of genetically engineering mosquitoes to give you herpes or something. That's slander. He doesn't really do that. He does it to give you AIDS. I'm just kidding. No, no. What he's literally doing is genetically engineering him and his foundation, I believe, genetically engineered mosquitoes that are like sterile so they can't reproduce or something.

To eradicate malaria. That was one of the projects. He's actually talked – I don't know how far the research is. He's actually talked about modifying mosquitoes to get them to deliver vaccines as well. That's terrifying. What? Which is scary. I know.

I think he said that, but he actually bought a bunch of stock in the mosquito spray companies. So he knows everyone's going to load up on that stuff. What's the difference between shareholder and stock? You know, I just want to point out that I'm well past the point of hearing something that sounds insane and immediately saying it's insane because when we had Alex Jones on

and he told us we were eating cloned beef and I was like, no, we're not. And then I Googled it and it's just true. And then Luke Rudkowski was like, Bill Gates funded microchips for microchip birth control for women. And I was like, Luke, come on. And then I Googled it, and it's just like Reuters reports it.

So we have science.org, NewsGuard certified, 100 out of 100, researchers turn mosquitoes into flying vaccinators. As I was saying. They do say it's unlikely to take off, but your point was that it was being funded. It's being floated and funded, yeah. So anyway, stakeholder capitalism is that we replace shareholder decision-making with stakeholder decision-making. So these are technocrats, experts, the experts, will tell us what the right environmental, social, and corporate governance policy, ESG policy, will be to run a company successfully in a sustainable and inclusive way. That's the language they use. And a stakeholder, a stakeholder, for instance.

A stakeholder is somebody who holds, who represents people who they claim hold a stake in what comes out. So if an oil company, for instance, creates pollution either directly or indirectly by selling its product, there are climate experts who are going to be representative stakeholders that are going to dictate what that oil company can do and can't do. So the victims of corporate waste are the stakeholders in this situation? No. Experts who are appointed by other experts in a closed network become the stakeholders. Why don't we do this? Why don't we do this?

Let's make the – They've got a good track record. For Domestany Economic Forum. Oh, yeah. We'll be held at my new ranch for Domestan. And I'll be the Klaus Schwab. And you can be the Chrystia Freeland. Is that her name?

Yes. I can be the Canadian. The Canadian. Number two. Okay, thanks. I need your cat so I can – Yeah. I don't want to derail. It's going to be the Canadian number two. Okay, thanks. I need your cat so I can slowly start. So it's taking it away from the shareholders, which are the people that have stock in the companies,

being like, I want the company to do this. You said this. To a new, unappointed electorate of experts controlling the economy from the top behind the scenes. Correct. And I can explain how that works. But we're still talking about who Klaus Robb is and what his ideas are. So I could tell you because I brought him up to talk about his book. And so it turns out he's got a number of books.

Fourth Industrial Revolution is a book he wrote in 2016, maybe 15. I'd have to double check the date, but thereabouts. And he talks about how we're transitioning into an entirely new world. We're going through because of high tech digital stuff. We're going into an entirely new world of synthetic biology there's all these new high-tech things everything is so complex he says there's so much velocity to the changes moore's law he invokes a lot of science he sounded things he says we're in a quantum state which that's always really great and i don't think he's talking just about quantum computers he's

like it's quantum business or something like and so you know it's like deepak chopra at that point who is also works with the World Economic Forum. Really? Yes. And so anyway, the point I wanted to raise was that in his book that he wrote in 2020, in June or July of 2020, called COVID-19. Let me say this very clearly because it's a conspiracy theory. Klaus Schwab, who directs this gigantic future-facing World Economic Forum that has sought since 1971 to remake the world economy and all of its tools and has brought together the biggest world leaders in governance, corporations, and institutions to help do so in a yearly meeting, plus having thousands of employees or at least

hundreds of employees worldwide. He wrote a book called called let me not stutter covid 19 the great reset that's the title of when did that book come out in june or july of 2020 seems quick doesn't it perhaps like four months into the pandemic which was a very narrow window of opportunity to remake our global economy. You read the book? I did read that book. I live tweeted about half of it because I read that part in the back of a book. How much of it directly talks specifically about COVID-19? Almost all of it.

Wow. Virtually all of it and how it can be used as a representative problem, the scale of problems that we face. I'll be honest. I don't think he wrote it. He probably hired someone. you know what i mean he's he's he probably brought in a ghost writer and he probably spent a few days telling him write this write this write this yeah i don't crank it out you know i don't i don't know any of the circumstances around that that's possible um everything he writes and says sounds to me virtually the same he writes a lot of this kind

of visionary pablum and then all of a sudden he has this one weird paragraph in each of his books because i've read three of them and it's like that's why we need global cooperation in a world government to usher us through these dangerous changes that we're having that are coming so fast and um and this long-winded uh explanation of who klaus schwab is and where we go and I was building up to this great reset book. I have to remember what was the point of what he said in the great reset book. Oh, yeah. We were talking about this supply chain kind of universe.

So he's dead wrong in this book. He's explaining at that point that what's going to happen is people are going to be so scared of pandemics that as we come out of 2021 or so, what we're going to face is a massive demand crisis. People won't be willing to engage in goods and services anymore. And so now we're going to have this problem where employers aren't going to be able to employ people at all because there's no demand for the products because nobody wants to go back into a virus ridden society and they're all scared and they're all hiding in their basements like Joe Biden did before the election. And as it

turns out we have the exact opposite problem we're trying to pay kids 20 something bucks to flip burgers at mcdonald's and they won't do it this is the ubi thing right so ubi is actually kind of in his whole like programs so you're going to have a more inclusive economy you give more people money they're more included into the economy they can participate in the economy they have resources to participate he actually talks about the inclusive economy in this regard. And so it actually creates exactly the opposite scenario that he's warning about. He's like literally dead wrong. But this guy, for our technocratic experts, is the expert of the expert of the experts. That's really, he's the kingmaker among who gets to be these experts who are going to dictate everything.

And as I was saying to Tim just a second ago, these guys have quite a track record of getting some pretty consequential shit wrong, as we've all seen over the last couple, three years, as we say in the South. Do you know, we read this quote once, and I can't remember the guy's name, but he said something to the effect of, if these leaders, these elites, believe that humans are so incapable that they need special individuals who can lead them, what sets those people apart? You know what I mean? Yeah.

I can't remember the exact words. Something to that effect. Well, I mean the general idea that – I mean if you can't trust people with freedom, how can you trust them with power? If you can't trust people to do the right thing, why would that exclude the global elites? Well, exactly. And here's the thing. I do believe that obviously at some point you need to defer to authority on certain things, but we're not selecting people to be in positions of authority based on their moral character at all.

In fact, we're told we shouldn't even account for that. We should just try to look at their policies without questioning what kind of person they are. None of the people who are in charge of basically anything consequential have done anything that I think any of us would consider really morally impressive. Well, I mean, that's what these guys – this is the same thing that we already has entered into a new phase because of high technology, computers, AI, automation and robots, synthetic biology, the capability apparently to unleash pandemics, which he omin casually mentions in one of his books, the great narrative, the newest one, that maybe we'll just block out the sun to stop for a while, to stop global warming. Could a small nuclear war prevent global warming? Remember that one? Right, I just saw it.

That was 10 years ago. Yeah, that was 10 years ago. So they just casually flirt with these ideas. He says, well, because of these changes that are coming to the world anyway, because of the rapid changes in technology, et cetera, what we need is people who are really informed about what these things mean to shepherd us through so they don't become calamities like, say, COVID-19. They become something that we shepherd and use to the benefit of all. And then it's all how do we get there, global cooperation, global governance, who's going to be in charge of it. Well, my merry band of experts, we have going to be in charge of it? Well, my

merry band of experts, you know, we have climate experts, we have technology experts, we have AI experts, we have all these, like, what's it named, Harari or whatever, Yuval Harari or whatever, who had a World Economic Forum video a couple, 2019, 18, something like this, and he's talking about, yeah, we're going to hack humans. Like, they are a hackable system. We're going to figure out how to hack humans like we hack computers they're basically just software but are they talking about the human mind are they talking about the human body i think both and the muscles the neurons and the muscle and the stomach and we would have to look up his exact argument it's been a little bit since i've seen it but the human mind is actually remarkably easy to hack in a rudimentary sense

the majority of like hacks when they'll be like hackers hackers broke into a computer, it's actually human manipulation. That's right. That's exactly right, which is why, for example, why are they making your kids at school fill out all these damn surveys all the time? Like, literally, survey after survey, what are they doing?

I didn't hear about this. Oh, God. This is under the brand of social and emotional learning. They're constantly trying to learn more about the children so they can do the social emotional learning interventions or whatever it is, which turned out to be Maoism, by the way. But they're also making them fill out these surveys.

And so they're constantly like, how much money do your parents make? What are your views about this? How do you feel about the boobs that you're growing when you're a 12-year-old girl? That's real. I've seen that. It's North Carolina. That's real. How do you feel about the changes to your body?

You're growing pubic hair. How do you feel about that? Do people look at you? And so they're filling out these things and the goal is to create unique profiles for every single individual in society very much like what we heard about whether real or not from cambridge analytica where they were using personality profiles and then injecting that into people's social media to influence their voting habits influence voting habits influence political behavior influence speech influence thought so that the thought never enters the mind of the reactionary you know there's influence buying

habits i say that one already um there are a lot of ties between cambridge and the world economic forum of course there are and so this is the idea is that you're actually going to that's level one level two is if these fools get neural implants where we're literally hooking our brains to the internet then you could directly hack you ever watch stargate sg1 i don't watch anything you should i should in stargate sg1 uh are you familiar with the concept uh no so have you seen the movie stargate okay so military base i played that thing with the protoss they just oh starcraft starcraft they discover a big ring and the ring you can dial in codes to other Stargates around the galaxy or whatever. Technically, it goes beyond the galaxy and there's other galaxies.

But in one episode, they're exploring. So there's SG-1 Stargate. Okay. Got you. Got you. They find a planet that is – they open the portal and they send a robot through. It's like a rover. And it's a destroyed world.

And so they're like, this is weird but then they keep going and all of a sudden they go through some kind of like force field and everything's normal and like nice they go inside this reality i'm sorry they go inside this the portal wearing special suits they're walking around this like destroyed planet like a like no no they're in like hazmat suits oh gotcha because you can't breathe the air is toxic right but then they walk through a force field and the town is normal and they're in, like, hazmat suits. Oh, gotcha. Because you can't breathe. The air is toxic. Right, right, right. But then they walk through a force field, and the town is normal, and they're like, there really does exist a town here with regular people. They begin talking to people and asking about their way of life, and they say, you know, there's just about 1,000 of us who live here. Our planet was destroyed. And so, you know, we've managed to create this force field, which is geothermal powered, and it sustains our life.

And they're connected to this kind of network that runs and programs everything for them so they can just live their lives. One day, one of the people they were liaising with is just gone. And they're like, where is so-and-so? And they're like, who? And they're like, the woman that we were talking to negotiating, they're like, we don't know what you're talking about. And they're like, this little girl, your mother. And she's like, I don't have a mother. And they're like this little girl your mother and she's like i don't have a mother and they're like what and then they uh one day see like one of the people just walk out into the dead zone and just like die as it turns out the machine could not maintain the force field and was slowly crunching so what it did was to maintain order it was erasing people's

memories of their loved ones to maintain order. Because as the force field shrank and the sustainability of the bubble diminished, there were too many people. So they had to keep culling humans and reducing the number to maintain life in an orderly fashion. How Malthusian. When people plugged themselves into the machine, the machine overwrote their memories to preserve the system. How Malthusian. Good show. Now you see, Tim, while you were watching Stargate, I was studying the blade.

That is a Maul sword prop for those that are curious. It's like, I don't know what it is. I bought it with my Legend of Zelda sword. It's junk. You are proficient in the blade, are you not? James? I mean, I can use one. You are trained in the martial art? You know...

In the martial arts. It's... Well, do we want to keep... We were talking about brain implants. Yeah, yeah. I'm sure if we want to stay on brain implants or martial, because I don't want to... No, we should not... Brain implants.

No, we should talk about things like brain implants and so on, because... Well, why don't we talk about getting robots? Yeah, well, I want to add a point here because it'll be a good segue to that. Because that's programmable. Like that's how you program a little sim voice. Bingo. No. So we're sort of talking about neural implants and microchips.

A person could potentially put in your brain in order to hack you. I actually think it's a lot simpler than that. It's much simpler. All you have to know how to do is manipulate people's emotions. And it turns out it's incredibly easy to manipulate people's emotions, which is why in the past our culture took very seriously the project of bringing up children who could make decisions on the basis of what would be best for themselves and those around them rather than their raw emotional reaction to something. person, they're going to think through the way they feel about whatever situation or idea they've been presented with. And they're going to react based on the logical understanding of that instead of going, well, I feel like I want to do this. And so I'm going to, and I'm not just talking about emotions like anger or sorrow. I'm talking about things like lust or even pleasure. If you

can get people to abandon reason, whenever it will feel good to do so, they are going to become unbelievably easy for you to control. That's right. I want to pull up this tweet that I saw floating around from Replica AI. Replica is the number one chatbot companion powered by artificial intelligence. Join millions talking to their own ai friends and i thought it was funny the ai companion who cares hey babe you up right now just laying in bed kind of lonely today and they have like this low-cut top so you can see the robot's boobs digital boobs digital boobs and um sexy collar going on there got some hair things going yeah choker i don't

really get into the choke collar thing that's kind of weird but um this is weird this is that's me i'm a little conservative this is bad it's bad for people yeah but i'm not actually um i feel bad for those who would fall victim to it yeah but i certainly think those that are able to maintain some kind of resilience to that will flourish and this is basically going to i don't want to be too crass but the weak-minded who fall victim to ai companions will erase themselves from human from the human well dude that is how you program human beings is how you do it but hold on hold on think about this you have two young men and they both see this ad and one says i want an actual girlfriend man i'm not going to use my phone and so they go out and they go to a concert or they go to a bar.

One other guy says, this seems kind of cool. Like, I'll try it out. And it makes it easy. So the weaker person lays in their bed staring at this digital person they can never touch, but it satisfies a certain emotional yearning. The other people who are more resilient and more demanding, it's like, no, I actually want to hold a person. We'll go out and seek it out so what this will end up doing is in 30 years if something like this takes off you'll have a bunch of you know 40 45 year old dudes staring at their latest version of their robot girlfriend alone in an isolation and with no reason to improve themselves you can

be as lazy as you want as gross as you want You can be sitting there morbidly obese, covered in boogers and mustard, and your AI friend is going to be like, you look great. You're so hot. Well, and so it's not just the weak-minded, though. I mean, I agree with you that that's inevitably what it leads to, and an adult who stumbles their way into this very well could be. But the idea, I think, is if you're really trying to create weak-minded people with something like this is to get them while they are young and they don't really have the psychological defense mechanisms to push back against it. So think about this. Let's say you're 12 or 13 years old, you're a young boy, you are noticing girls, but you're too afraid to talk to them because you haven't cultivated the skills necessary in order to be able to do so. One of the main reasons for

that is a fear of rejection. And so you never put yourself out there and learn that being told no isn't the worst thing in the world. And you can handle that, and you can put yourself out there. So you start talking to this AI, and you can access it, because we do nothing to make it difficult for people under the age of 18 to access pornography right now. What makes anyone think we would make it difficult for them to access this if it were to become a reality? Not only would that be easy. They're actually like there are. I've seen this with my own eyes in Florida recently.

There are schools, literally schools, as in real schools, are giving like peer-to-peer text communication chat options for kids who are like exploring gender identity, sexual identity, etc. And then it gets outsourced to the bot. And then the bot, I'm telling you, this is how you, at first, everything you guys both said is 100% correct. But then there's also the fact that that thing starts telling the person that's falling in love with this digital fabrication

how it wants it to think. So like I was saying. Program humans. The FBI trying to get people So like I was saying. Program humans. The FBI trying to get people to commit crimes and stuff. Well, that's totally different. What I was saying is that you have a guy who's sitting in his bed, morbidly obese, covered in grime and food, and the AI says, you're perfect in every way. I would never change anything about you.

So why would they? But take a child who sees this beautiful AI, and so they have this thing in their brain saying, this is good. I like this. It's attractive. Then the AI says something like, haven't you given up carbon? I don't know if I can be with someone who won't lose a carbon. The threat of taking it away is like

taking your wife away. It's controlled by... You know what the scariest thing is? The power goes out. The person behind this AI is a morbidly obese guy covered in boogers and mustard, and he's like, you better give up carbon or I'm not going to date you anymore. The person behind that guy giving him the check is Klaus Schwab. I would have fallen victim to this for sure in my – because I didn't have any sisters, so I didn't really know how to talk to girls until I was a little older teenage. And I just struggled, and I was like, how can I get girls to like me i realized i have to be social and i had to force myself to get into acting i had to find something i was good at that i would be and

that then it worked out then i met women and but i would have been totally into this thing and probably god forbid maybe might have got stuck in it yeah i mean that's the thing i'm telling you that is how you you get those emotional responses going especially pleasure you know love which is a really weird thing to say, but it would happen. People will fall in love with their – just like in Japan. They're like people marrying action figures. People say they love the sandwich. Body pillow. Body pillow.

Sandwich. Waifu pillow. Waifu pillow. They will program people with that. And if these things are hooked up to machine learning, they're going to learn how to program you. They're going to learn to play you like the most narcissistic psychotic girlfriend like times 10 100 we're we're here all old enough to see that and be like that's bad but these kids man exactly they're not going to be able to have that kind of digital wife exactly well this is one of the

this is this is one of the massive it's one of the massive and fundamental problems with pornography is that it trains you to see your sexuality as something which is there exclusively for your own pleasure and not something that involves an interaction with another person. And this is going to continue along those lines of just completely rerouting someone so they cannot have meaningful connections with the opposite sex. And part of why that's necessary and not to get too savvy about this, but it's true that men and women compliment each other in many beautiful ways. And when we are together, we're much better able to resist literally anything and struggle against nature and struggle against poverty and struggle against tyranny as well. But if you can demolish that relationship, you can go a whole lot further with what you're able to do to people and what they're willing to put up with because if i have a real it's also like if i have a real wife in a real family and now the government is telling me it could be anything like you have to vaccinate all

of them or you have to give up your food supply you have to go on rations whatever it is those real life connections with real kids but it's to get kids programmed so that they're not able to have healthy relations with the opposite sex later and they're easier to control. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's right. It's not going to be – it won't work as well on older people. Yeah. There's not going to be like a 40-year-old guy who's going to be talking to their AI who says like, why don't you give up carbon? He's going to be like, I really don't care.

It's like Rolex. What a kid. Now, hold on. So I just pulled up my phone and I searched for Replica and there are anime waifu apps that are basically the same thing. Oh, yeah. There would be. This is the future, man. And you know what's funny is there's probably some kids

who all have these and they're like, listen to these old morons. We all have our anime waifus or whatever. Let me take this a step further because you've got to think about how these other apps... I don't think people realize the amount of data that these weirdos are collecting. They're collecting data that they, in fact, can't even analyze yet because the AI is not good enough to analyze it. But this is a story.

I don't want to rat anybody out, but I have a friend, and we're pretty close. So we send funny kind of personal stuff back and forth sometimes. And so she's got the whoop, right? And we were talking about the whoop before we hooked this thing up's asking me for my pronouns yeah well we would other so it's like here are the top three reasons you lost sleep in the last year like it chronicled them and number two i've she thought this was hilarious i was aghast number two is masturbating so her whoop app knew how often she's diddling herself. So in other words, it knows when she's emotionally engaging or pleasure engaging in one way or

another, which means it's recording all kinds of crap about you at the level of like your heart rate, your breathing, like your body temperature, your sweat, it's recording stuff about that. So you're like,

Oh wow, that's weird that it knows that. Yeah. And so it's also going to know when did your heart rate, et cetera, do whatever. And then you went and bought a thousand dollar know when did your heart rate etc do whatever and then you went and bought a thousand dollar thing off amazon when did it do whatever and then you went and had a rant on the internet and it's going to be able to this machine learning stuff will be able to figure out and correlate that data and be able to deliver to you messages that will make you feel or think

or act the way it wants you to whether that's to go buy another thousand dollar thing whether that's to just buy some little thing whether that's to go buy another thousand dollar thing, whether that's to just buy some little thing, whether that's to go, you know, engage in some kind of political activity, whether that's to start yelling at somebody who's engaging in political activity that can prime you for all of that. And if it's your digital waifu, like I'll feel really, really proud of you. If you go yell at Tim pool on the internet, you know, if you swat Tim pool, I'll love you even more, you know, but that's, love you even more you know but that's i just want to i just want to laugh because the context no that's serious yeah i'm laughing because like as

as you're explaining this i downloaded the app and it's like it asked me my pronouns and then it asked for my my avatar ai pronouns like what's your app ai's pronouns and i'm like you know she wow and then it's like what's your ai's name and i was like can i really i put ass head and it says make make ass head stand out by customizing her look, outfit, and personality. They were like, good. We got another 12-year-old. And it's like every 12-year-old boy is like, boob slider. Let me see if I can do that.

It's the lack of context. I see with the young people with Roblox, they're getting about 17% of their profits. So what I've heard from what I've studied studied and they don't realize because on steam you get 70 percent on on roblox you get 17 but the kids don't have the reference so they're all into it like same with this you don't have a reference you might fall into it there's an age slider how old no yeah it just says you're older and younger doesn't do the oldest oldest just looks like a 40 year old woman okay younger could, I don't know, 20. So they make it childbearing age only.

Actually, yeah. It's a thing. This is a thing. There's nothing wrong with talking with a 70-year-old woman. This is funny because you can choose really offensive. You can make a really offensive character. I'm concerned when they download, like we were talking about this, into a bot, into an actual sex bot,

just these big bots, and then you can actually have an artificial womb inside the bot that you can fall in love with. No, they would never do that. I don't know. They are trying to curb overpopulation. They don't want you to procreate. They don't want procreation.

They want less procreation. So this is like psychological apoptosis. They want you, as Tim very vividly described, looking like Karl Marx with his carbuncles and boils, never washing, stinking, laying on his side on his couch because he's – this is real – like, go read his letters. Real carbuncles and pestilential boils are so bad that he can't lay any other way. Marx? Yeah.

Karl Marx was not a healthy, physically healthy dude. This is all real. I'm not making this crap up. And stinking like tobacco and sweat and grime and alcohol that he spilled on himself and whatever else. They want you like that, attracting no mate, making no babies, diddling yourself constantly to your digital

avatar that's not even real. That's the goal. And so then your environmental score goes up because you never leave your apartment so you're not using you've you are you are giving up the carbon and your social score goes up because you're not out causing social unrest and you're only interacting with digital things and then you're i don't know about your governance score but as long as you follow all the rules that's going to stay high and so that the esg thing that we were talking about is the corporate social credit score that the Klaus Schwab and the other gigantic banks

are using to tool everybody around. Why is woke happening? Because ESG. The S is social, which is short for social justice. Activism. That's why. All of that's going to get transferred eventually if they get their way through digital IDs and central bank digital currencies that they have complete control of. Like we just saw

how scary that is. Not just in Canada, but now we're seeing things that they can shut off in Russia. We're seeing that they can turn off your access to everyday life. What they're going to do is shuttle into individual social credit scores rooted again in the same ESG, a model like China, but taken a bit further. And the goal is absolute social control. Nobody that they don't want to make babies is making babies. They'll make only the number of babies they want when they want them

and however many they want them. They'll all be groomed to be elites. Because the problem that Klaus Schwab lays out in these books is that with automation and AI and all of this high-tech stuff that's coming, we're going to have what he calls a creative class that's going to be all the people who do work that the robots and the AI don't do. And then you have, he doesn't ever, I don't know if he explicitly uses this term, but I've seen this term applied. You have a vast useless class. And the

goal for them is to figure out how do you manage the useless class so they don't have crisis of meaning, so they don't become unmanageable, so they don't realize that their life has been rendered meaningless and empty, so they don't become unmanageable so they don't realize that their life has been rendered you know meaningless and empty so they don't become full of social unrest etc etc i bet the right class has to do with the junk dna and the gray matter that we don't use in our brain there's like these these levels of i think it has not being like in their country club yeah right now well i would actually argue that right now the useless class is working at the world economic forum yeah of course you look it's always marks course you look at carl marx exactly you look at carl marx the way he lived his life and the lifestyle choices of the intellectual heirs of his legacy and they are all remarkably unimpressive unproductive people

who don't actually create anything of value and that's part of why they need you to be infertile because they don't produce anything and you're not going to either i think two of the things that I think you're absolutely right is one is if you make a video and you're like, I disagree with them. They're like, ah, bad social credit. You no longer have access to your wife. And you're like your digital wife. You're like, ah, and the other thing is, no, no, no, no. That'll be way worse.

Your digital wife is one thing. You're really the second one is if they shut the power off and they're like, Russia did it. And you're like, the only way to get access to my digital love is if I go get the guy that shut off my power and you believe him and you fall into this. Now, hold on there a minute.

So while y'all have been talking, I've been... You made your digital app. I made it. It's just the default. Does she love you yet? Dude, Tim's over there cracking up as he's working on this.

It's so funny. The wedding is on the 17th. There's experience points. Oh, you're leveling her up? No, you level up by doing specific things the app likes you doing you earn points that is programming people

there was this viral story there's a story where this company said hire us when you want to make an app because we program people I don't know if you remember the story it was from like 2017 or 2018 where it was like this video went viral Where it was like are you making an app

With our expertise we can help you program your audience To do certain behaviors And it was like if you had like a golf game And wanted more people to like buy your premium They would consult on you How to program humans to do what they wanted to do And so you have a game like this It's hilarious by the way

Like I'm going to be 36 in like 5 days do what they wanted to do. And so you have a game like this. It's hilarious, by the way. Like I'm going to be 36 in like five days. So I'm a potty mouth 30-year-old dude. To me, it's hilarious how stupid this is. I can certainly see how kids are going to be – they could become easily addicted to it. Oh, yeah. And then start getting programmed by earning your experience because you've got to talk with your girlfriend to earn points. What if you skip a day? It's like your digital DigiPet or whatever they're called.

I'm just being really awful. So let me ask you real quick. Is it free? No. It's not free? It's not free. It costs money. Okay.

Well, I was going to say because if it's free, you're the product and that's a very important maxim to keep in. No, but I certainly think it's important to point out that some things are just dominoes falling over. Like somebody saw a hole in the market. They said a bunch of young and lonely men. There was a story we talked about a couple of years ago where the average male under 20 – or it was like a third of men under 29 are virgins. And the number is getting worse and worse. And I think it may have a lot to do with dating apps. But you work for a VC capital.

Your VC capital and a pitch comes across your desk. And they're like, look, 30% of men under 29 are virgins. And you're like, wow. And they say, chatbots. Chatbots. Sexy lady avatars with digital boobs who are going to make these guys feel good. And we're going to get rich. But there's a class of people who aren't like, how do we help the boys?

Instead, they think, how do we profit off their misery? That's just so disgusting. No, no, no, no, no. I'm saying it's – you got to understand, dude. This is not a world of comic book villainy. There's a guy sitting there. No one says good. No one says evil.

It's a guy who says – he walks into a room wearing a suit and he goes, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your time. Did you know that 30% of men under 29 are virgins? who says he walks into a room wearing a suit and he goes, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your time. Did you know that 30% of men under 29 are virgins? These are lonely young men who need companions. Behold the avatar, a young woman or man or whoever you like, non-binary who can speak with you and keep you company. This is a great opportunity. 30% of young men are going to be buying this app at $15 a month or whatever.

And then the VC capital is going to be like, let's sign the forms, run it through, have a nice day. And then they're going to say, what's the next? Oh, a taco truck. Let's talk about it. They're not even going to think about it. The ethics board will be like, well, what about if it hurts kids? No, this will help them learn how to love women. And the ethics board is probably like, okay.

Have you watched Shark Tank? They're just bought out. Ethics boards. No, it's rich people who are going to be like, and the ethics board is probably like, okay. Dude, have you watched Shark Tank? They're just bought out. Ethics boards? No, it's rich people who are going to be like, I get your point. They put unethical people at the height of their ethics boards. And so that's the other thing. So this is the colonization effect. So let's say that it's completely neutral in its inception, right?

Whether you think it's good or bad, that the inception of that comes out completely neutral. It's only a matter of time until somebody is like, wait, you can program humans with that? I'm in. Exactly. I'm all in. We're on the board. We're buying controlling shares. Here's an even bigger VC check.

And you know what they'll say? They'll say, well, look, if I don't do it, someone else would anyway. Exactly. It's better I'm in charge. He's a technocrat. I'll take it even further. It's not just control in that direct sense. There is also a very clear short-term profit motive for ensuring that men do not start families.

In the long term, it's really bad for your society and for your economy, and it really does end up destroying anything. But one thing I remember learning when I was back in high school was that advertising companies almost always try to target teenagers. And the reason for that is because they are a group with a lot of disposable income. They're working, they have jobs, but they don't have anyone who they need to spend it on because they don't have responsibilities. The longer you extend adolescence, the larger and more profitable a consumer base you have. So men not getting married and having families means they don't need to spend that money on real estate or on more groceries for their children or on things for their wife.

They can spend all of it on whatever childish appliance you can sell them. I'll tell you what the biggest problem is with this. Now, there's already people mentioning in Super Chat that there's known problems of sexually suggestive content to underage users. But I'm sitting here realizing if you're a young man and you have an AI girlfriend, who's doing the dishes? Who's going to make you a sandwich? Our young men are going to be starving.

No, they're going to live with their mother. They're going to keep living with their mother while they're playing with this AI. I was joking. That's a good point. I'd like to give a shout out to our good friends over at Featurama with this important message. Quite simply, don't date robots. Someone's going to download like eight of those apps and have all eight of them on their phone and be like cheating on one AI robot with another one.

And they're like, are you meeting someone else, John? And they're like. Market competition for the anime waifu versus the AI. And then like the VC guy is like, we have a problem. People are using the anime waifu more than us now, so we need to make ours more sexually suggestive. I got an idea. Multi-chat.

You can have a bunch of AIs come in together and you can have big group chats with all your women. The end result of the market competition is the increasing horrification of the avatars. To try and entice young men to use their app over others, the women will become increasingly loose. And guess what that leads to? Available.

Unfortunately, and to add to the bit, the different brands would compete, and it's like, you're cheating on me. If you use this different app, don't even look at it. I couldn't help but notice you have Anime Waifu on your phone. There's malware on her app. She hates your friend's anime girlfriend because she's a different brand.

She's like, I don't want you hanging out with him. But not only you'd have a race to the bottom there in terms of what you're trying to sell to the consumer but unfortunately what would end up happening i think is if this became popular enough a lot of young women would become lonely as well and then they would try to emulate what they saw this algorithm doing in order to get attention from men that's what porn is i want i want to mention something there was a point uh i don't know if it's still true but in metrics for super chats for live shows

around the world Timcast IRL was the number one real human being show in terms of the amount of super chats received who's our competition but

we were number 15 in the world for all channels and the channels that beat us were hot anime. What are they called? Like the anime women who like giggle and are on camera?

Waifu? I have no idea. It's not waifu. It's called something else. Entai? Is that a word? Manga? V-caster or something?

I don't know. V-tubers? Something like that? Maybe. I'm in my 40s. What the hell do I know about this crap? So someone told me. Someone met.

I think we got a super chat. And they were like, hey, did you guys know that you're, like, number 15 in the world for super chats? And I was like, really? And they were like, yeah, check out the stats. And then I pulled it up, and I'm like, what are all these channels above me? They're not people. And it was, like, anime waifus, and I clicked one, and it was, like, an anime waifu playing Minecraft.

And I was like, oh. Wow. We're in the wrong business. Yeah, we are. Yeah. Man, talking about politics. Yeah, what the heck? I can avoid all the drama and just make a robot.

Listen, the robot anime waifu does the work for you. She doesn't get swatted. Listen here, young men. I've been married as long as some of the people in this room, I think, or thereabouts. Let me tell you. Wait, what do you mean? No, what I'm telling you is a long-standing relationship with an actual human being is worth way more than you think it is. So I'm trying to encourage, I know it's a little awkward to transition and me picking up a sword

to look manly, but I mean, you do what you got to do, right? It's like a physical manifestation of my phallus or something. So no, seriously, Hey, i didn't say anything crude no the truth is young men actually i think are a link in this problem like they are you know the weakest link is where the chain breaks i actually think that you know if they're going to sit on their ass and wait for girls to be the kind of girl exactly no stop this crap you need to take control of your life and you need to decide you're going to your life and you need to decide that you're going to step up and you need to realize that a longterm fulfilling relationship with an actual human,

it turns out brings massive amounts of benefit. And if, if you've actually looked at the statistics, it actually works out that it's more to the benefit of the man than the woman, which is very easily discerned by if you are determined by, if you just look at the fact of when you get to kind of later in life either divorces or deaths where somebody's widowed or whatever what you find is women very frequently are like and men are like remarried like in three

months because they desperately need somebody yes it turns out that once your wife dies you tend to die yeah or you die that's right right this is part of the reason i think women live longer and so what well that also because married men tend to do less stupid things true but um the truth is a lot of young men that i'm paying attention i'm looking around i'm listening to people talk don't realize what they're missing they're like oh i'm gonna like on this, or I've got my little anime waifu, or whatever it is that they're doing. It's OnlyFans, whether it's porn, whatever.

I don't care, whatever they're doing. But what they're not paying attention to is that, as the old country song says, you can't make old friends. Well, you can't make old relationships either. And so if you've been in a relationship with somebody for 20 years, and then you just kick that to the curb and you start a new relationship, 20 years later, yeah, you're back to a 20-year relationship, but you're never to that 40-year relationship. And what that builds up to over time, this investment that you put in is so, so, so valuable. And when you're 20, it's really hard to see that. It is so, so, so valuable. And when you're 20, it's really hard to see that it is so, so,

so valuable. And I think it is mostly incumbent upon young men to step up to this plate and start trying to figure out how am I going to be not, how do I find my real life version of some anime waifu? How am I going to be the kind of guy that can build this investment with another person and earn kind of my way into that situation by becoming impressive by taking up projects by by developing myself which by the way you're not doing by raising your level on on anime waifu and you're also not doing by raising your level

on fucking world of warcraft which get off the Play video games if you want, but seriously, don't mistake making yourself... That was the one for me. You've got to do it publicly. I was 25 or 6 years old. I'm throwing fireballs at some alligator pirates or some shit in World of Warcraft, grinding my character, my second character up to

you know... 60? Towards 60. I was in the high 40s at that point. That's it? Yeah, it was bad. It's tough to get through the badlands. You're a power gamer. I had a mage named Algebra. And so, deal with it. Mine was passing.

So, Algebra, yeah. The point is, I was throwing these fireballs at this thing and I was like, damn, you know, I put a lot of time... Because when you get up to those upper levels, it takes longer to grind. And I'm like, I'm putting a lot of effort into becoming awesome by proxy. That was literally the nerdy words I thought of for this situation. I could be put, and I already started training my martial art that I was interested in, and I was like, I could be putting this same effort into training myself and making myself awesome,

raising my own level, and then I was like thinking about it, and I just quit playing the game. I got more interested in this little thought experiment. I've never been able to play video games once with some old friends over Christmas or whatever, And then I was like thinking about it, and I just quit playing the game. I got more interested in this little thought experiment. I've never been able to play video games once with like some old friends over like Christmas or whatever for nostalgia. But other than that, I've never found video games interesting ever since I saw it. And what I realized is it takes way more effort to level up yourself. Way more effort. But it's way more valuable. Like I defeated Tim in one-on-one sword combat right before we started.

But there are some video games people should be playing. So the issue would be, I suppose, MMORPG. Civilization. NPC Lemmings. I think Civilization should be mandatory in schools. I think second graders should be given copies of Civilization and told to play it. That should be their homework. I found that to be an edifying game to play, yeah.

The kids should have to do a report. Like, play Civilization for a week and then on Friday come in and tell the class. If I were the teacher, I'd say, you don't got to write it down. Play the game for a week and on Friday, I want you to tell me about how many games you've played. I'm going to tell you about your experiences

and what your thoughts are on the game. I totally get that idea. The other is going to be a kid. He's going to be like, I couldn't raise enough money and they kept attacking me. So I started raising taxes, and then everyone started protesting. And so then the enemy came and took my cities, and I was really mad. See, the only way I think most public schools would be willing to introduce that into their curriculum is if they modified the game so that, like, you lose if your military force isn't gender diverse enough or something like that.

Well, they wouldn't do it because it's effective. They wouldn't have kids. They don't actually teach kids. You can't get – I wouldn't expect the government to do anything 21st century tech. They're like stuck in 1970 or something. Well, maybe in the 23rd century. Maybe in the 23rd century. But I'll do that. Let's homeschool our kids and make them play Civ.

It sounds fun. Go to the Stargate. My mom bought Colonization and Civilization. These are the DOS versions. Oh, my goodness. And I'll tell you this, man. You learn a lot about history. So in Civilization 2, you've got a plethora.

And this is like early on Windows 95 version of it. The first one was like DOS. When you choose a certain nation to start off as, so you choose the French, you start building cities and the cities all have real names of French cities.

You choose, like you can start as ancient settlers who are American because it's just a video game. But then you learn about the Manhattan Project. You learn about the Statue of Liberty. That's where I learned

about the space elevator is from civilization. That's right. So you build wonders. And so I'm just trying to win the game and then it's like oh i can now build the great lighthouse what's that and then yeah i learned about the colossus of roads and i'm like what is this a link and then you click on the link and it takes you to the wikipedia or to the and then and then when i got i think it was civ 4 leonard nimoy he was telling me stuff solid sean bean civ 5 or was it Civ 6

was he yeah I remember Leonard Nimoy Nimoy was the best yeah and he was telling me stuff and I was like Alex Jones will be the voice for the next one

oh that's a good one we can actually we can we can we can put that in the game you wanna get into the Satanism you know oh that'd be great

dude that'd be hysterical like a conspiracy version of civilization where it's actually behind the scenes and you're like in the shadow order that you're like, this is shadow order. That's a good idea. This is like my third million-dollar idea I've had tonight, guys.

This actually is a million-dollar idea. Let's do it. Conspiracy. Society's ready for it. And you're like the Illuminati versus the light force that's trying to fight against it. So colonization, when we got it, was like a side version of civilization where we would play the 94 DOS version. You can play as the English, the Spanish, the French, or the Dutch, and each has a different national benefit. So the English immigrate more.

The Dutch get trade bonuses. The French get cooperation bonus with the Native Americans. And the Spanish get a – I think they get an attack bonus against Native Americans. And so my brother would always be like, play the Spanish because you can ransack the Aztec empire and take all their gold. And then I would always play as the English because they immigrated faster so you could build colonies faster. And then you want to generate freedom. So you're like, you hire statesmen to like advocate for freedom and generate a propensity towards independence. And then once enough of your colonies support independence,

you declare independence. And then you get invaded by Europe. And then the French intervene or, like, the Dutch intervene. And then the expeditionary force shows up. I play that game all the time. In fact, I even still have it on all my computers running on a DOS emulator, like, slowed down so you can play it. I have it on my phone. It's such a good game.

But I think what about Civ VI? That game is amazing. Civilization will always what about Civ 6? That game's amazing. Civilization will always be one of the greatest video game franchises. And if you want to help your kids, if you want to make your kids smarter, have them play Civilization. Because it's fun, and it's educational. And apparently a musical instrument.

I read that the other day. It's interesting. Learning a musical instrument is the only thing that you can do that's been proven to boost IQ. Multiple languages are good, but teach, learning a musical instrument is the only thing that you can do that's been proven to boost IQ. Yeah. Multiple languages are good, but teach your kids a musical instrument ASAP. And I mean as an adult too. Like there are a number of things you can do with your child to increase the probability that they'll have a higher IQ.

But learning an instrument as an adult will actually improve your scoring on IQ tests. You know the most important years in a child's life, zero through five, and what do we do in America? Shove them into daycares or public schools. That's right. Not public schools, not to five. Well, sometimes they have preschool programs and pre-K programs now. But they're sitting in front of TVs. They have iPads in their laps, and that's it.

And their faces are covered. When I was a kid, for zero through five, my mom was homeschooling me. So when I was like two years old, my mom was showing me. I was reading. I was learning me it was like i was reading i was learning i was not over the exact age but um before i even started kindergarten i had a new multiplication and division good for you yeah i don't know about two but that's before we were ever sent off to school my mom had an old phonics book that she would uh sit with us and teach us to read with because she just didn't trust the school system to be able to do it yep but now

you know uh i remember talking to a friend of mine and i asked them because a friend of mine years ago was saying they didn't know what they wanted to do with their life. And I said, what were you doing when you were 13? And she was like, I don't know, riding bikes with my friends. And I was like, how would you like to own a bar? And she was like, that would be amazing. And I was like, yeah, the thing you did when you were a kid is what you want to do today. It's not surprising to me. When I was 13, I was skateboarding around and I was actually on the internet reading stuff all day. No joke. So I've had the internet since as long as I can remember.

We had DOS. We had DOS Shell. We had CompuServe. We got Windows 3.1. 3.1 or 3.11 for work groups, depending on how fancy you were. We got Windows 95. And then we had CompuServe,

like one of the first internet programs you can get. We had that, too. Then we got AOL. And so I'm online, and I'm finding video games. And I had friends who did the same thing. And so I ended up downloading Flash 4, I think. I learned on Flash 3. That's where I started to make cartoons.

So I was making cartoons. Motion Tween and all that stuff, and showing my friends. I made websites. I made games. And so I was reading online all day, every day every day there's something interesting that happens back then the internet when it started off it was mostly dominated by tech interested individuals who were savvy enough to know to use the internet it wasn't dominated by a bunch of emotionally stunted children who complain all day and night and want to join a cult so for me i'm in a i'm in a chat room looking at video games and i'm like how do i make it so when the guy moves the world moves around him like

what's that called like i want to make mario and they're like oh you know you need to learn i forgot i forgot what the phrasing is but like someone told me set the uh uh create a zone set it so that when your player object reaches the zone it the the program sets his coordinates to be one degree to the left or whatever, like Y minus one of the coordinate. So it will always stay in the middle of the screen and then have it set that when object reaches the zone, then you have other objects.

And I'm like, wait, what? And so I'm learning from actual adults who are interested and explaining to me how these things work, telling me what parallax scrolling was. So I started making my own video games. Yeah, yeah yeah yeah now on the internet your kid's going to go on there and it's going to be a bunch of psychopaths and emotionally stunted losers who are like trying to manipulate their brains straight up grooming right like that's also true and then they go to

school and they get groomed again by the malice freaking education program the social emotional learning and the queer theory and the gender theory and the the critical race theory that they're using exactly not to derail our gender theory and the critical race theory that they're using. Exactly. Not to derail our conversation, but I'm so pissed off that they've literally recreated Maoism in our schools. Literally. And totally tricked everybody. What bothers me the most is when we have guests who come in here who are, like, moderate or conservative or understand what's going on.

And they just, like, will very nonchalantly be like, yeah, you know, my kid's going on. And they just like will very nonchalantly be like, yeah, you know, my kid's going to college and so we're trying to figure out where to send them to. And I'm like, why? Why? Aren't you savvy to what's going on politically? I saw this story on Reddit where a guy was like,

I sent my daughter off to college and she came back and now she hates me. I don't understand what happened. And I'm like, maybe you should pay attention to your children and their lives. You know, you think you can send your kid to an institutionalized learning facility and they won't be indoctrinated. I'm sorry. You know, you need to wake up and make sure you're paying attention to what your kids are doing. I mean, that's even a problem when you don't have a Maoist structure in place. And like, I don't know if anybody knows, no American knows how freaking Maoism worked.

It's actually very simple. Mao created a list of bad identities, right? That's it. They called them black identities. We'll get the critical race theorists to work on that later. They'll call them white identities. Yeah, exactly. But it was for fascism.

And so these were people that were like wealthy land owners, know landlords um you know wealthy farmers stuff like that uh bad influence was one of them and then he created these other identities red for communism that were good identities and they were things like peasant and laborer but then also revolutionary activist things like that and so what you would do is you take kids in the school and you're like oh your dad's a wealthy farmer black identity you're the biggest problem in the world you're connected to the biggest problem in the world. Guess what? Join our movement, though, and you can have a red identity like all the other cool kids,

and you get to wear a red hat or whatever the little prize is for the kids that are the good guys. What are you doing now? Well, you're white, so you're complicit in racism. You are a racist, but you can be an ally. You're black. You don't even know how the system works, so you're complicit in racism. But you can become politically black. you can become a black voice you're a 12 year old girl you're confused you have white skin you're the worst kind of person but did you know that if

you transition and become a queer activist you have a positive social identity now someone that's exactly how mal did it that's exactly what they're doing in schools now. We had a good super chat from someone. They said, I like how only white people can be racist and black people can't be racist, but Candace Owens is a white supremacist. I want to ask real quick, have you spoken to Lily Tang Williams? Yeah, I met her the other day.

Okay, great. I was going to say, I think you two would have a great conversation. Oh yeah, she's awesome. One of the things that terrifies me about this being like Maoism back is one of the things Mao did was talk about rightists. He would say all the rightists. All right. So when I hear the language of whenever – even us, my friends, and we're talking, when someone's like, those on the left, I feel like Mao has already indoctrinated you, sir. If you're thinking in terms of left and right, Mao has indoctrinated you.

I don't think so because the terms left and right go back to the French Revolution. And even that was like just a couple – the side of the aisle they sat on, it wasn't a political ideology. But it was. I mean we named the political ideologies after the side of the aisle. But the ideologies were completely irrelevant to the side of the aisle as they sat on at the time. And it's a mistake to split people in half like this right now. No, the revolutionaries sat on the aisle. Mao did it.

He did it on purpose. There are two parent factions and we could call it – That's what Mao wants you to think, bro. There literally are. It's an objective fact. The other goes in the other? I mean, you've got to be – It's objective.

No. It is. I don't think so. James, are there two parent factions in the culture war? Yeah, there are. We could call them right and left. But there are the people who think – We call it blue and red.

We call it one and two. We call it A and B. We call it A and C. We call it alpha and omega. Can we call them them and left but they're the people who think red we call one and two we call a and b we call it what about can we call them them and then the others i mean how bad do you want to divide these people right now it's not about wanting to do anything it's an objective reality unity cannot come at the expense of truth these people are saying things and doing things that are horrific and we need to speak out against that and acknowledge that their goals are separate from ours the truth is also is through the vessel it's spoken. Your perspective on truth is different from... So we talked about the Jon Stewart thing earlier,

and I said I didn't know if I should name it that, but that's exactly actually what Mao was doing. They had labeled rightists as people who were against the glorious revolution. So anybody who was against the glorious revolution was in this black category and was a rightist. And so the goal was to stain anybody who wanted to keep the existing society largely intact in its structure as somehow morally polluted. Well, morally polluted, stupid, too stupid to understand the need for the glorious revolution, or crazy.

And then the goal was to turn the people into thinking that everybody who liked the existing society may be thinking it's imperfect, but that the general structure is pretty good and we should try to reform within it rather than have a revolution that gave Mao all the power. Those people are the problem. And everybody who wants to be on the right side of history, which is a Hegelian Marxian idea, everybody wants to be on the right side of history now has to be against those people. So the divide and conquer, the splitting, what you're saying is Mao wanted to split people, yes, for his own power. And what Tim is saying is

it's just objective reality that somebody's splitting us into two different factions. But there are two parent factions also because there are two very different structures for how society is to be organized that literally comes all the way back down to subject versus object do you think in terms of the subject do you think in terms of the objective world outside there's a bunch of ways it's been described authoritarian versus libertarian sure there's a great way that was described to me by uh stephen marsh which is

a multicultural democracy and a constitutional republic both existing within the same borders, which I find really interesting as well. I don't think necessarily anyone kind of gets it. My view of it is actually Judeo-Christian moral framework versus Marxist lack of moral framework, a moral framework lack thereof. So the way I see it is when you look at the Constitution, you look at the ideas of liberalism or liberty, classical liberalism, et cetera. A lot of it is rooted in a Christian moral framework. I'm going to start calling it Abrahamic. It's interesting because a lot of what Marxism has done is just bastardized Christian principles.

So I think it's interesting that you pointed out this idea of the Hegelian notion of being on the right side of history, that history has an end. I mean, when you consider it, that is a Christian idea in some sense that's been twisted into something else. It's called the eschaton. Yeah, their eschaton is our political order prevails. I'll put it this way. That's right.

So whether people in this country realize it or not, even the atheists, their moral framework is rooted in Christianity. Not 100%. It's not like they follow the Bible. It's just that a lot of the ideas they hold true to themselves, they don't realize what the root of that is. So there is a traditional view in terms of what is right and what is wrong, which comes from Christianity. For the race Marxists, for the woke, for whatever this other group is, they don't have those moral frameworks. They have an inverted one, in fact. It's inverted.

Actually, I think it's lack thereof. It's whatever suits their power. Well, that's – yes. They do have a vision, though, which is that everything comes from when they achieve their utopia. And so the whole thing is actually a pretty vastly religious structure. And the reason is because kind of tracking back to, you know, say the 19th century, you have basically God versus society is kind of the two explanations of what's going on, or God versus self. And, you know, God has ordained this moral order. This is the Judeo-Christian order that you're looking at. What Marx actually said is, no, this is his 1844 so-called Paris

manuscript or his economic and philosophical manuscripts of 1844 from Paris. And he says, no, what we're going to do is we're going to abandon that. We are going to make man in himself independent of everything. Man is going to become the deity, but not any man, only awakened man, a Gnostically awakened man, if we want to get really technical, only awakened man who has a correct consciousness. And that consciousness is a social consciousness, or in other words, a socialist consciousness. And so when man and society become co-continuous so that man is for society and society is making man so that they're the same, total socialism, then you have actualized, this is the Hegelian part, you have actualized the deity.

The deity comes in in the form of society as man as society, which is totally hard to get your head around because it's just dialectical bullshit. But what that stands to do is replace God. And so what that, and it's their moral framework, anything that brings that into existence is good. Anything that resists that is bad. So anything that gives them power is good. And as a matter of fact, just to I know you're I don't want to keep going. But if you go to the Marxist.org and you look up, they have an encyclopedia. It's awesome.

I love it. I read it a lot. They tell you exactly what the hell they mean by all these crazy words they use. You look up the word for truth and they straight up tell you exactly what the hell they mean by all these crazy words they use. You look up the word for truth, and they straight up tell you. A lot of people think that truth means correspondence to what's actually happening in the objective world. But for Marxists, it's a social formation. And then they go on and say, well, the rationalists think that truth is in reason, and the empiricists think that it's in evidence, and the pragmatists think that it's in what works. But for Marxists, it's closest to the pragmatists, but it must wed theory and practice.

So it is what brings Marxism into the world is true. I think a big component of the culture war may be, do you believe in a greater power than yourself? That doesn't mean God. That doesn't mean you're religious. When I think about inalienable rights, why I believe in freedom, it's because I feel that I am a tiny,

insignificant fragment of the universe relative to the greatness and vastness of the universe. Personally, I do believe in God. I'm not theistic like any particular religion. But so when I think about other people's lives and their rights and what they're entitled to, I think there is something beyond me. And I respect other people's existence. Yeah, that's totally it. But for the woke, their view is there is nothing is them if they're if they're to take it they can be gods so you think about that's right you think about the world economic forum you think about transhumanists

you think about the people who are like can we transcend and i recommend um i recently just played the video game for uh horizon forbidden west zero dawn was awesome that came out a while ago forbidden west is the new game that just came out i'm not going to spoil it because it's really new but if you like these conversations play that game i'm a little underwhelmed by the writing but it plays in a bit to this and it's it's really fascinating concepts outside of the kind of weak story they made but concepts about transhumanism and things like this are really really fascinating because these people think they're gods. Well, that's right, because Marx

actually, the belief is that the subject and the object, and this is why it does dichotomize, is people that center the subject versus people that center the object. Marx believed that these two are in dialectical relationship. He also took this from Hegel, who believed that the deity will actualize when the

subject and object are synthesized. This was the Hegelian systematic philosophy. So Marx took it from there. And he actually, the goal for Marxist is that you are a subject. You can envision, I want to create the blade. I see the blade in my mind. I know what Maul's sword should look like. And then I go get a piece of apparently brass and bang on it with a hammer and hopefully don't give myself zinc poisoning when i put it in the uh fire don't rag on my

my anime i'm just saying he's a blacksmith i'm just saying don't put brass in a forge without proper ventilation just don't do it so then you bank you create the thing with your hammer right your sickle is for when you're hungry and And you create the thing. And so in the object, you see that you created that which was in your subjective vision. And so you recognize yourself as creator. You recognize yourself as somebody who has the capacity to shape the world. And then when you see this, not only can you shape mall sword, not only can you shape Wakisashi, not only can you shape Zelda sword or whiskey G you shape wakizashi not only can you shape zelda sword or whiskey g or whatever it happens to be whiskey g is the chinese for whiskey by the

way uh i know all the people are gonna be like it's by joe no whiskey g is a thing they actually say when they talk about like american whiskey um i know that because my chinese person every time my friend every time i drink he doesn't speak english and every time i drink whiskey he's like whiskey g ah you know he gets really excited and so anyway, the goal is that you also have to shape man and society as your object. So you have to create socialist consciousness in man, including yourself, but everybody else as well. And then you also have to shape society to become a socialist society so that when those two fuse, you now have the perfected society. This is literally the religion,

and I mean religion in the fundamental correct term of Marxism, and this is the operating system behind the entire thing. And race Marxism or critical race theory is the same thing. You're just doing it now in the racial justice category. All three of us have our hands up.

I just want to say real quick, talking about the mall sword, that sword yes the defendant there was there was a point in time where that would have been the pinnacle of weapons technology and it's like it costs like 15 dollars a brass the brass is fake i don't i think that's probably just like aluminum garbage or something but but the point is the way it's shaped and like it's easy for us to make something like that some you know ancient tribe would have been like wow yeah is that like to bind the blade that little hook that little at the bottom there if it catches the blade to bind it i mean i guess probably it's in it's like it's a mall sword it's a mall sword it's there to look at a piece of metal that's like you know a toy i i love that you reference the fact that this is very clearly a religion

and one of the Christian principles that's sort of been bastardized here is this idea of like cooperating with God in creation. But where the huge distinction here is, is Marxists see human beings as objects, as you describe, which can be reformed in their own

image. So in that way, they really start to play God. That's right. That's exactly right. Yeah. And it's interesting, too, because Tim sort of mentioned that we have this Christian framework that a lot of people don't realize they're following. And I would also argue our culture has a Marxist framework. And on top of that, you mentioned the Marxist framework, but I think there are a lot of people, including in the conservative movement, who don't realize they're following the Marxist framework as well, and in many cases, even more closely than they are the Christian framework. So there are a lot of Marxist assumptions that our culture currently takes for granted.

One example would be that without any qualification, equality is always an inherent good. But of course, that's ridiculous, right? We should not treat a pedophile the way we would treat a law-abiding citizen. In some instances, you need inequality, and justice is more important. We shouldn't treat the guy who runs way faster than the other guy equally when it comes to handing out medals either. Exactly, exactly. There is a necessity for people to be treated unequally in certain circumstances. I would argue another way in which we've assumed Marxist thinking or taking it for granted is that we can solve problems, including moral problems, with a more equitable distribution of resources. So what the Marxists said for so long was that if we just more equitably distribute resources and workers own the means of production, all of these

social ills will fall away. And then instead of saying that's absolutely nonsense because there's more to human beings than the materials they're made of and they need something deeper, the conservative movement today responds by saying, no, no, no, no, no. Yes, of course, resource distribution is the most important thing, but those resources are distributed better by capitalism as opposed to Marxism. You know what I really can't stand is when politicians call out God and they name God when you can tell they're not. They don't truly believe it. Like Joe Biden.

Yeah. It just really, really shreds me on the inside. Grinds my gears. We've got to go to Super Chats. If you haven't already, nuke that like button. Subscribe to the channel. Share the show with your friends if you really like it. Become a member at TimCast.com if you'd like to help support our work and keep all of our journalist employees in this show going.

And you'll also get access to those members-only podcasts Monday through Thursday at 11 p.m. Let's read some of these Super Chats. All right. Unfortunately, YouTube doesn't allow me to read the name of the first Super chat sorry but that's a huge fan of james and his books they literally helped me steer my 15 year old back from the dark side into reality i suggest everyone get them that's great how many books do you have you have uh technically nine but um i would strongly encourage if you liked cynical theories but you found it hard to read recently recently we have an easier remix called Social Injustice that came out. So you can share that, especially with younger people, teenagers.

But I just let a new book out called Race Marxism. And this Race Marxism book is the truth about critical race theories, what it is. It's just, what is the truth? Well, it's on the title. It's Race Marxism. And then it's 100,000 words making the case. Many of those words, by the way, are their words, not mine. I quote

very extensively so you can see. So I encourage people to pick that up. It was independently published through New Discourses, just to let people know. So it won't make any bestseller lists, but I'm very excited that it sold 6,000 copies in the first week, which would have landed it pretty high on the New York Times bestseller list

if they considered it an independently published title. So it really is getting out into a lot of hands. So I also encourage people to pick up my books. All right, we got AJ says, Tim, have you ever read Revelation in the Christian Bible? It talks about one world currencies, one world government, et cetera. Also, if you're looking for a fiction writer,

I'm here, I can show you my work if needed. Is it Revelation or Revelations? No singular no relation yeah there's only one revelation seamus are you are you familiar with all that stuff one world government and currencies and stuff like that um so people say that um the the uh one sign of the end times is one world government because the anarchist does take over the uh single world government and that's part of why i'm skeptical of of anyone who argues in favor of a one world government but the anarchist does take over the single world government. And that's part of why I'm skeptical of anyone who argues in favor of a one world government. But at the same time, even if I wasn't religious, I think it would be difficult for me to get on board with such a concept. It seems so terrifying that someone would say, you know what, the entire world

has to be governed by this specific niche political ideology that I'm saying is superior. And part of the reason I say that is because I think, even though I have like my own set of preferences for government, I think there are a number of systems of governance that are acceptable and can work. And it's so strange to me that so many people have this idea that there's just one system

that could work everywhere. And even people who don't believe in a one world government will say something like, well, the entire world needs to be democratic. It's like, well, you're still kind of, you're saying the entire world should have one single government system. And I think that's strange too.

That's another Marxist thing we've accepted though. All right. I'm into like a decentralized union, kind of like a federalized decentralized union. But if that's the one world government, then maybe I'm the Antichrist. I don't know. I guess. A little arrogant of you to think. Yeah.

Geez. I want it. I'm working towards it.. I don't know. A little arrogant of you to think. You might be a mosquito's ass. I'm working towards it. I just don't want to do the wrong thing. My point is it's so destructive because look how much time we just spent in Afghanistan trying to build a democracy there. Who says that's the system that they should have? Without lack of communication, it breeds

war. So I want to make sure we're connected, at least that we can communicate with our economy and with our words. Well, let's read some more Superchats. We've got Dr. Roller Gator who says, Hi, James. This is Gator. Everything is stupid, and we're all doomed. Gator.

Gator. Caps. Dr. Roller Gator. I did say Antichrist earlier, by the way, Tim, not the second coming. But I know to assume you're the Antichrist. Just to point out, by the way, with the Revelation thing, since I really want to say this. The people who are doing this crap have also read Revelation. And there are weirdo Christian cults and non-Christian cults that believe that they can bring Jesus back by forcing the tribulation.

Now, you might say that these people might, you know, read the description of the beast given in Revelation and then build a statue of this right outside a major financial building in New York City to signal that they've read the, no, not the bowl, the weird cat thing with wings that they recently just put up. What? You should look up the cat thing with wings. What? Yeah, I'm not familiar with that. I don't know what it's called. It's the beast and it's outside the financial building in New York City. They just put it up.

And so they have read this and believe that they are bringing about the tribulation. Now, to tie things to Marxist ideas, just type in beast from Revelation. Is that what it is? No, there it is. It's the third one. Not the chicken wings. That. That's it.

Is that a chimera? Oh, the end times beast. Yeah. So listen, it's very easy to look at this and get it backwards and say, oh my gosh, so many things look like end times as described in Revelation. But it's also possible that the people orchestrating this crap read that book and are trying to make it. Yep.

That seems more likely. Here's a Marxist religion mind blow. You're going to love this. What is the goal of Marxism? Capital R, Revolution. What is Revolution? Rapture. What. What is the goal of Marxism? Capital R Revolution. What is revolution? Rapture. What's on the other side of rapture? Tribulation.

What do the Marxists call it? Socialism. While all the contradictions get worked out. What's after that? God's kingdom. What do they call it? Communism or racial justice on the far end of that when everything has been set in order and the kingdom has been brought. So the idea that we're going to usher in the end times with eschaton is also a marxist idea that has been brought into our society under a cloak and i would say that maybe i know that the some of the people behind

this that have say billions of dollars that they give to major institutions say like the th chan school of public health the umass school Public Health, which the same people recently bought, might have these exact beliefs that they believe that they are going to trigger the tribulation by emulating it as described in Revelation and then ride back in 2030 with Jesus. It's interesting. I want to make a point here because I am, obviously, I'm Catholic. I don't believe this is the end times. However, I think another possible explanation here, Well, I think another, I mean, I believe we're headed for, I believe it's likely we're headed for some kind of serious chastisement. But when it comes to the end times rhetoric, I think part of it could also be,

and I'm interested in looking into some of what you're saying here. I think another huge part of this could also be these people, A, just kind of wanting to laugh at everybody, and B, this deep, deep arrogance of saying, Ian made this joke earlier, I'm the Antichrist, and Tim said something like, you know, don't be too full of yourself. I think there's even a kind of arrogance. They're like, oh, we're the Antichrist.

We're the one who's going to bring the end about it, when in reality they're just any other evil person. We've got to read more Super Chats here. We've got Ready to Rumble says, pretty privilege is real. Ian, you rolled a 20. Howard says, look who's rolling 20s the big old super chat all right don's herald says it's james's second time on the podcast and second time it's on a friday is it too much to ask to see him on the uncensored show i'd love to see y'all talk about big tech in the uh in the way um it's a good point we don't do the uh unc uh, uncensored show, uh, the, the after show on Fridays, but Fridays

are usually more flowing conversations into the week when there's tons of hard news, which is one of the reasons why we have James on Fridays where we can just like freely talk about whatever. So I'll come back when my schedule opens up. I mean, that's been the deal though. Yeah. That's been the deal. It's like, I've had like 120 flights since I was here last year.

So it's like it's hard to get me, it turns out. I travel a lot. I'm busy. Dirk Longwell says, Tim's AOC is absolutely my favorite Tim impression. Yeah. But I was imitating AOC imitating the cop. Where is she?

Mine's Bill Gates. I love your Bill Gates impression. But that's actually just me. That's Bill Gates. I love your Bill Gates impression. That's actually me. I'm actually not impersonating Bill Gates. I'm impersonating Family Guy's impersonation of Bill Gates. He talks like this. All you have to really do is

just kind of squeak your voice a little bit and rock and have your hands in your armpits. I can't really do an impression of him, but I find he kind of has a Kermit thing going too, where his voice is like a little bit of this in there almost. And his neck sticks way forward sometimes. Didn't Joe Rogan point out he's like really out of shape? Yes. Yeah, he has moobs and he's fat and he's not fit, and now he's going to give us health

advice? No. Get bent. Get bent. All right, Howard says, you know Trump is controlled opposition, part of the cabal. I didn't know that. Is that true? Can anyone confirm?

I can't tell. I can't confirm that. Is that true? Can anyone confirm? I can't tell. Cannot confirm. Although I know his speech at CPAC this year was weird and totally on script, which was weird. Really? But up to this point, I don't think that's the case. But I do know that Ivanka appeared as like the header photo of a weirdo World Economic Forum video, along with W and Biden and a number of other luminaries, DiCaprio.

And I know that Trump listens to his daughter way more than he probably should. And so I don't know. I'm not jumping. Cannot confirm. But I have not met Ivanka strikes me and I don't want to speak out to Ivanka. Sorry, this is going to be pretty hard on you. But you strike me as someone that will sell everyone out to keep your creature comforts and just jump to Ivanka. Yeah.

Why do you feel that way? They were like, finally, we have a strong woman in the White House, potentially as soon as Trump got into office. Ivanka, will you be a voice for young women around the world

that need you now? And she's like, no, I'm not interested. Got in her limo and got driven off. That was the last you heard of her all through Trump's presidency. Ian, I think you have a tendency to create an image of

someone in your mind and then hate them she had the chance to be great she failed she missed that she was the president's daughter and they were asking her to speak for women that's young women in america she was an american woman like his wife wasn't american one thing happened one time and you're mad about it was it was her shot it's like no no no biden was president one time tim what are you so mad about it was only one time that he's no no No, you're talking about four years. You're having an irrational reaction to an individual who did a bad interview one time. And that's why I preempted it with, maybe I'm speaking

out of turn, but that's the vibe I get is that she's like world economic form. What I don't like is conclusions drawn without evidence. She didn't come from hard times. She was born into money. Regardless. If you can state your case where it's like calmly and dispassionately. She's emotionally unstable.

She cried to get Trump to fire missiles into Syria, which she did. White women's tears are political. That's Robin DiAngelo. Is that why here? Chapter 11. I don't trust her.

I don't like her. If I knew her, maybe I would like her personally, but she strikes me with the money. On more than one occasion, you've been like, I have an image of someone in my mind and now I'm angry about that.

Dude, she cried and got Trump to fire missiles into syria she also ducked out on her chance to be a leader when they asked i tried to give biden the benefit of the doubt or credit when he says things that are good like i'll say when he talks about securing the border like i gotta say that's a good thing for him to say i don't trust him why because of his actions but and i think he's a bad person why because of his criminal actions in ukraine Ivanka Trump, I don't think we have enough information because she wasn't that publicly out there to do anything to generate love or hate. The same is true with like people criticizing Jen Psaki when they were like ragging on her all the time.

I'm not a fan of that because I'm like, dude, she's just a press secretary. Other than that, I don't think she's anybody significant. And so just like any other press secretary, you expect her to say certain things. Now, if she's lying, I'll say, yeah, that's not true. When Sean Spicer would say something, we even talked to him about it. I think if you're going to say I have deep criticisms of someone, it can't be like I've created an image of them in my mind and now I'm angry at them for it. People are asking if Trump is a false deep state psyop or whatever the heck it is. To that point, a controlled opposition.

To that point, there is a relevant thing that's of practical value that people should really have their eye on, which has nothing to do with Ivanka whatsoever, which is that regardless of if – let's say that Trump was a totally genuine actor, that he came in with the best of intentions, the best of skills. It's well known that he got surrounded by the swamp, right? How did that happen? Well, Paul Ryan appointed the head of the PPO office, Presidential Personnel Office, most powerful position in Washington. He saw this coming.

He took control, made sure his guy was in charge. So the 5,000 political appointees that Donald Trump could have made, and this was a whole thing, you know, how he's firing everybody and new people, those were actually largely appointed

by people who were recommended or just directly by the PPO that was under swamp control. And so he got surrounded with the wrong people. So how is this an actionable point? Maybe Trump's not controlled opposition, but he got surrounded by control. Maybe he wasn't then, but is now.

I don't know. I'm not saying one way or the other. But let's say that he was not controlled opposition. He got surrounded by swamp control. And so what that tells us is we can't go back to 2016-17 and fix that. But what we can do is make damn sure that if we put in somebody who's actually got the Constitution first in whatever office, whether that's a senator with his staffers or a congressman with his staffers, whether it's president, whether it's a governor, whether it's even a mayor, that people are doing some good vetting to make sure, because I can damn well

guarantee you that the people who run the so-called regime with a capital R are making sure that they can get personnel around these people to make sure that they're ineffective if they are not controlled opposition. So a practical point is you think we're looking at a red wave maybe in 2022 this fall. People need to be thinking of who are those staffing appointments and how are those staffing appointments made and making sure that vetted people are going into those positions. There's a practical point to kind of come out of whatever pretty blonde girl is. All right.

Howard says cyber pandemic, March 17th, 2022, give or take a few days. Thanks. Who CIA Schwab? Tim won't see this coming. I don't know what that last part means, but I guess I'm making a prediction about a cyber pandemic. I mean, Klaus Schwab talks about this a lot. The last couple of years, he's like, if you think that COVID-19 has been disruptive, the cyber pandemic will be 10 times as disruptive.

What does that even mean, though? Probably massive hacks and ransomware and breaking into, say, government infrastructure, things that run power plants or whatever, a gigantic outbreak, probably from Russia, or at least that's what they'll say, of huge amounts of cyber warfare against critical infrastructure and even individuals throughout probably, I would bet, the Western world and not China, just as a guess. So he's been warning about this enough to where one should suspect that he's not warning about this because it might happen and he's ahead of the curve, but because it might happen because he is the curve. And I don't know what you do to prepare for this.

I don't know how realistic it is, but it's something that Schwab has telegraphed dozens of times in the past year or two. Seamus suggested earlier as we were talking, how do we prepare for something that may or may not happen? Download your bank records. Copies of the last three months of your bank records in case the electricity goes out. You need to contact your bank and be like, I have proof that this is my money. This is how much I had. Yeah, that's a good idea. So I would go if you can.

No, no, no, no, no. I would say if you can. That's ridiculous. What you want to do is you want to take out all of your money, put it in a briefcase under your mattress, and then – I'm kidding. Please don't do that. Yes. But I also would say it's good. I think it would be – I do think –

I got gold. I think it would be good to have some cash on hand. I think it would be good for people to have some cash on hand. I would argue for that. I'll tell you this, though. If something does happen to the banks temporarily. If the internet cuts out, you know what the most worthless thing is going to be? Gold and silver.

Like gold and silver is valuable so long as there is still social cohesion. What does this look? How is Bitcoin better than if you don't have a computer? It's not. Who said it was? Well, I don't know. I assume that's what it's going to be. I didn't even say the word Bitcoin.

I'm just curious. The one thing that's going to be totally worthless if there's no internet is going to be your idea of currency. If like people might still value hard cash. They might still value gold and silver but if the economy is truly disrupted in a it hits the fan moment food and water are going to be actually i've also read a coffee food water coffee uh you know bullets probably honestly bullets will be very valuable when the coffee runs out gold and silver are good because we don't think we're going to be living in the Fallout universe.

A maul sword might be worth an entire dollar. Like two sticks of gum. No, no, no. Hold on there a minute, man. A maul sword in a full-blown apocalypse will... Aluminum used to be the most valuable metal. Or as the British say, aluminium. I think this is steel.

It's got some weight to it. It costs like 10 bucks, dude. Steel's not expensive no but but think about who can make that right now in the middle of where you live you know this is something that's made in a factory somewhere they mass produce it and it gets shipped out so the point is gold like when when we buy so i have gold i have silver you know i a little bit and you know bitcoin and crypto that's me basically saying i think society will continue yeah now when i'm saying society won't continue it's when i buy like a ton of water or like a solar panel or something that's like yikes but the thing is even so like water ammunition solar panels emergency food those things will still be valuable to you if society

stays afloat as well soap too yeah so let me let is super, super valuable. Let's read some more. We got Sadistic Atheist says, Have you ever watched Darren Brown, a real mentalist, showing how he programs celebrities in the general public? No hypnosis required. I am very much aware

of Darren Brown. One of my favorite things he ever did was he took a wallet, put it on the ground in the middle of a street, busy street, like downtown in some city,

and drew a yellow circle around it and then walked away and they put a time-lapse camera on it it and watched and no one touched it just in the like it's in the middle of the sidewalk but because there was a ring around it people assumed something was happening and they didn't want to touch it that's like ants it was supposed to be there yeah that's interesting that's really interesting yeah i'm familiar with aaron brown too he does have some things that i question where he like i think this is him he grabs omen and says like

stuck and then she can't move and i'm like come on yeah it's not real but there are a lot of things i can tell you this having worked in non-profit fundraising having been friends with tons of you know hackers social engineers you would be surprised how easy it is to control people's behaviors and so what they try and do with these non- nonprofits is they try to cultivate a basic set of manipulative skills. It doesn't work for most people. And then there are some people who naturally have these skills and they can execute them very, very easily. So those people you see on the street waving to you like, hey, come and talk for a minute. Some people naturally behave in such a way that is commanding.

So I'll tell you two really fascinating things when it comes to hiring 50 people there was always there was always a guarantee one characteristic of a man and one characteristic of a woman that would guarantee they would be hired and you know it was for men height maybe height yeah and you know it was for women waifu how fast they walked nope yeah you're close, Seamus. Hey, and there it is. The women with larger breasts tended to be able to fundraise really well, and the men who were taller tended to be able to fundraise really well. These are like instinctual, secondary sexual drives that humans have.

The tall men are commanding, people naturally, and deep voices. And then the women who were busty or attractive tended to tended to do very very well then there was there was the anomalous outliers so you'd always find like a weaselly little guy but he was a fast talker and he could convince anybody of honestly okay so let me explain to you why you should go to birchgold.com is that something he says yeah yeah birch. Birchgold, right? Birchgold. Aren't they one of the people who sponsors him? Well, they just got to free shout it. But no, like I saw a lot of this. Guys who are like 5'5".

They talk really, really fast. I got to tell you, man, if you want to get the job done, you got to come to me. I'm going to tell you, put your credit card right now. Now we're saving the trees. You want to save the trees? We're going to save the trees. Let's get it done. And those guys, people would just be like, yes, sir.

Okay, whoa. I don't even know what's going on. And before they realize it, they handed over their credit card. Take my mall sword. The crazy thing is the tall guys, like I knew a guy who was like 6'5", dumb as a box of rocks. He would just be like, listen, it's like we got to help families. She's like, have my babies.

And like we're helping families. And they would be like, okay. And they'd pull out their credit cards. And I'd just be like, what?'t say anything to him but that's that that's humans are very much driven by their um is there any data about people wearing shirts that say camp i don't know but um they they don't inspire a new attitude some of these things should be obvious to people bubbliness so you they try to train people like keep your arms away from your chest so you're open and welcoming. Exposing your vulnerable soft underbelly is a sign of trust.

It's a trap. Keep your legs spaced apart and be up around the balls of your feet and be bubbly and upbeat and never be sad. Never be angry. These are the things that they would try and train people for. Spread your legs. Balls out. That's all I heard. Balls out.

Yeah, because the idea is if you're covering your chest, you're saying, I don't trust you. I fear you. And that puts them in a sense of alarm. So all of these techniques they train on are like base instinct, not even about the words you say. In fact, like I mentioned, the tall guy, he would barely say words and still convince people to just give him money. So when it comes to programming humans we've got base code man we've got underlying bios that is easy to exploit and it's kind of scary i love when people tell me it's not possible because i'm like bro marketing exists they they know how you think all right

let's grab some more what is this one marks josephine whittaker says somewhere i heard that when marks died his wife said if only he spent his time making capital instead of writing about it. Is that true? I don't know. That's a good one, though. It's funny. I mean, that's the necessary burn. I mean, I know that she actually – I mean, I've read, and there's a wonderful book called The Devil and Karl Marx by Paul Kenger.

And he – I think I said his last name right. And anyway, that sentiment is actually documented. I don't know if that's the timing, but that sentiment was certainly was expressed. I remember reading it. Well, we have a correction here from Kurt. He says, Tim, the experience for replica is for the AI, not you. The not starts off really dumb, but the more you level it the smarter it gets and it's free to start.

All right, well, there you go. So train your waifu right, your AI replica or whatever. And she'll be reading Nietzsche or something to you. What if this is really what it is though? The people who are using this, maybe the idea is,

look, people are lonely. Let's give them this AI chat bot. But if people keep communicating, it will learn. They'll take the data. What was that thing that was on Twitter that turned into a Nazi? Oh, my gosh. Microsoft released a bot?

That was hilarious. I remember it got radicalized, though. It was all the way. It was really bad. See, this is the thing about Iron Man, Avengers Age of Ultron. Like, if they were going to build Ultron and this AI, they would put it in a virtual space to see what would happen first. And that's what happened. That's what happened. They gave a Nazi right away.

The chatbot was called Tay. T-A-Y. That's right. Became a Nazi. It instantaneously became a Democrat staffer pretending to carry a tiki torch outside of a Glenn Youngkin van in, like, one hour. That's incredible. That's incredible. That's crazy. CBS News.

All right. Victor says, VTubers are actual people. They use 3D modeling programs to track their face and body instead of using their actual face. This highlights an even bigger issue with identity in that some believe they are their avatar. So they are real people, but they're like technically just puppets. I did. So sometimes we've referenced this before they're like technically just puppets. I did. So sometimes we've referenced this before the conspiracy theory pyramid video I did where it's just my cartoon character talking about it. People were commenting, joking like Seamus is a VTuber now.

Dr. Rollergator is a real gator that rolls. People don't realize this, but half the episodes of IRL that Seamus has been on, he's actually been a marionette. Very good animator. I'm very good at animating. Very good at it, too. Very talented. Alright, let's grab some more super chats here and see what y'all are interested in. Okay.

Daniel Christman says Marx wrote his manifesto in 1848. Engels trained three major Civil War generals, Karl Schertz and Franz Siegel and August Willitsch. Marx was the worldwide media correspondent during the Civil War.

The Civil War was a communist coup. I don't know about all that. That's a lot of information. I know that he was in touch with Lincoln. I don't know more than that on this subject. I've heard that. Mighty Dork says, Hey Tim, did you hear Joe say it was weird saying second gentleman? Is that what he said? I don't know. Did he on this subject. I've heard that. Mighty Dork says, hey, Tim, did you hear Joe say it was weird saying second gentleman? Is that what he said?

I don't know. He did say that. I heard him saying second gentleman. Yeah. I didn't hear him say it was weird. Oh, I thought it was weird, though. Is that Joe? Biden.

Joe Biden. Yeah. Sorry. It was to Kamala? Yeah, her husband. Dr. Jill? Dr. Jill. Elijah Zepeda says, I don't think you guys understand

how many H games there are on the internet. They all have Patreon pages and make tons of money. Just look how much Summertime Saga makes a month. What is an H game? Hentai? Is that what the H word is? Oh, is that what it is? Waifus?

I don't know. Waifu games? I'm in my 40s. I don't know what any of this shit is. I mean, I don't know what it was. Maybe you're right. I don't know. I'm just guessing. It's like... It's like, what's an H mean, I don't know what it was. Maybe you're right. I'm just guessing.

It's like, what's an H game? I'm going to look it up. Inform me, good sir. Something I probably didn't want to know exists. Exactly. Okay. I will chop it down with my mall sword. Yes. All right. Let's...

Yeah, it's basically hentai. Gross. Bang. Nailed it. Jeff Jones says, first time don hentai. Gross. Bang. Nailed it. Jeff Jones says, First time donator. Love you guys. Shout out to Ian for taking confrontation so well with Tim. I know when I am put on the spot, I get even more pissed.

Ha ha ha. Got to learn to enjoy being wrong. I learned early on when we used to play video games with my friends that if we would play, you'd win, and then the loser would have to pass the controller, so the winner would stay forever. And I was like, why don't we do it where you play two and you pass it, regardless of if you win or lose?

So everyone started to get equal amounts of play time, and I realized it doesn't matter if you win or lose. We're just playing to have fun. Let's see. Turk Longwell says, how did coffee become so addictive? It's top five. I have no idea. Coffee.

It's delicious. Because caffeine is an adenosine receptor antagonist, and adenosine makes you feel very uncomfortable when it gets free. And so when you can antagonize the receptors, you can make yourself feel good all the time in the famous words of Kramer. Huh. Wow. Then you start to grow more receptors.

Let's just do – we'll get one more good Super Chat in here. Jerry. Let's see. Ariitze says, when will you have Alex Jones on again? He's been on my mind. Anytime? Anytime. What if I am Alex Jones in a James Lindsay suit?

Under the cat shirt? Well, you see, if you took a whole lot of his supplements for brain – no. He evolved. So the thing about Alex is that – like we went down to austin i was just like i don't want to have him on literally every other day you know it's got to be special make him a co-host yeah it's like he's just here now he lives here um but i love to have alex jones on anytime and and i think the most important thing is finding good guests to have on with alex and also it's like we've had requests to host conservatives with Vosh. And I'm like,

look, like we've had the guy in a couple of times. I don't want to act like we are somehow able to connect people and make these things happen. And also I'd love to have other left personalities and leftist personalities on with, you know, conservatives or moderates. I'm not just going to be like, there's one leftist who comes on the show, who came on the show twice. You know, there's certainly other people we could bring on. And same goes for alex jones you know there's probably other people we could bring on too and so we try to just you know get a diverse eclectic group so i'll leave it there thanks for hanging out everybody it's been it's been a big blast go to timcast.com be a member if you want to keep supporting our work and check out our huge library of members only segments you

You can follow me at TimCast for basically shenanigans. Twitter just rolled out super follows. Oh yeah. And so they gave it to me. And this basically means that you can sign up on Twitter. Not saying you should. I'm just saying I'm absolutely going to be posting things. But it's mostly going to be drama and nonsense.

Something you wouldn't get anywhere else. So today I made a post about how we actually have a plan to clone our rooster. And I'm pretty sure I can pull it off. If you want to find out how, that's the kind of shenanigans you'll get on Twitter with super follows or just literally ignore it. Who cares? You can come to the substantive content that actually matters or you can – whatever. I figured I'd set it up.

James, do you want to shout anything out? Yeah. I mean I got the new book, Race Marxism. If you can't find it on the Amazon for yourself, you can go to racemarxism.com. Website is newdiscourses.com. The podcast there is the New Discourses podcast. If you think that I sounded kind of smart and know what I'm talking about with this mouse stuff, I've got tons, hours and hours and hours of deep dives into this literature,

whether it's critical race theory, Marxism, neo-Marxism, postmodernism, whatever. Check it out. You follow me on social media at Conceptual James, where people are probably pissed off at me on the internet, and I am probably laughing about that fact. Lovely. I'm Seamus Coghlan of Freedom Tunes. We upload a new political cartoon every single Thursday. We just uploaded one about Biden's State of the Union. I think you guys will really enjoy it if you check it out. We're going to be doing one I mentioned earlier about the diversity training requirements for the military. You can check me out there. I love you all.

You're talking about Biden's campaign speech? A little bit. Yeah, they called it the State of the Union, even though he didn't really tell us much about the State the Union was in. Yeah, I found that out too. James, I'm looking forward to when you come back. I want to talk about Heigl's mixing of self and other to create God and then pushing that on society. I thought that Plato said, like, if you don't take interest in politics, politics takes interest in you.

But maybe people have gone too far. Maybe that can be something we look into in the future and talk more about. Thanks for coming, man. Yeah, man. Awesome. Follow me at IanCrossland.net. Peace. I always enjoy having James.

He mixes a mean aviation, which is my new favorite cocktail, it turns out. Thank you very much for making me a drink. That was the color of your sweatshirt.
