1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,350 There is a dark, dark underworld that is all around us. 2 00:00:04,380 --> 00:00:08,640 It is even through the center of our hearts, the line of evil that runs 3 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:10,950 through each and every one of our hearts. 4 00:00:10,950 --> 00:00:12,960 And some of us like to soak it in. 5 00:00:13,170 --> 00:00:15,720 Some of us really actually love the darkness. 6 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:21,960 Some of us love being pulled into the, the deception to the, the lust 7 00:00:22,020 --> 00:00:23,970 of our flesh and our, our lives. 8 00:00:23,970 --> 00:00:28,200 We love to soak in that other of us hate that others in the. 9 00:00:29,915 --> 00:00:32,465 Try to pretend that it doesn't exist. 10 00:00:32,465 --> 00:00:33,935 They isolate themselves. 11 00:00:33,935 --> 00:00:39,845 They pull back, they lock themselves up away in closets and cave sometimes, 12 00:00:39,935 --> 00:00:46,415 literally, and sometimes just burying our heads in the sand, trying to pretend that 13 00:00:46,415 --> 00:00:49,894 the problems of the world don't exist. 14 00:00:49,894 --> 00:00:55,265 But the question for today is how can we live our lives in the. 15 00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,629 How can we live our lives in the midst of the dark underworld that surrounds 16 00:01:00,629 --> 00:01:05,880 us while at the same time, holding onto our values and not compromising. 17 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:11,039 Hey, it's Lucas Skrobot and your listening to the Lucas Skrobot show 18 00:01:11,039 --> 00:01:16,530 where we uncover purpose, pursue truth and own the future episode 270. 19 00:01:16,830 --> 00:01:19,680 It is February 10th, 2000. 20 00:01:20,265 --> 00:01:28,964 And 22 and I have been, I've been pondering thinking meditating, chewing on 21 00:01:29,235 --> 00:01:34,785 this thoughts for gosh, about two weeks now I've had some conversations with 22 00:01:34,785 --> 00:01:41,625 people around the idea around trying to grapple with what I'm, what I'm trying 23 00:01:41,625 --> 00:01:45,164 to get at what I'm trying to express. 24 00:01:45,854 --> 00:01:48,255 And so we're going to talk a little about that too. 25 00:01:49,020 --> 00:01:55,649 Um, in the context of some current, current and social events, good night. 26 00:01:55,860 --> 00:02:05,460 So that the overall arching question that I'm posing in today's episode is exactly 27 00:02:05,460 --> 00:02:09,329 how, how do we hold onto our values? 28 00:02:09,329 --> 00:02:10,919 How do we hold onto. 29 00:02:12,555 --> 00:02:14,235 Because it's truth that sets us free. 30 00:02:14,445 --> 00:02:15,465 I've mentioned this before. 31 00:02:15,645 --> 00:02:18,405 A lot of us were, and I started this podcast in this 32 00:02:18,405 --> 00:02:19,575 way, talking about purpose. 33 00:02:19,575 --> 00:02:20,505 What's your purpose. 34 00:02:20,715 --> 00:02:21,705 We need to know our purpose. 35 00:02:21,705 --> 00:02:24,165 If we own our story, we can own our future. 36 00:02:24,165 --> 00:02:28,125 If we know our purpose, we can do what we were created to do. 37 00:02:28,485 --> 00:02:33,765 But the reason we're searching for purpose is because we see others who 38 00:02:33,765 --> 00:02:36,725 seem to be fulfilling their purpose, or maybe are fulfilling their. 39 00:02:37,875 --> 00:02:40,305 And we're St man, they have something that I don't have. 40 00:02:40,515 --> 00:02:47,865 They have freedom, not just freedom from the nine to five potentially, but this 41 00:02:48,075 --> 00:02:53,565 interior sense of freedom of honor, I am walking out my original design of what 42 00:02:53,715 --> 00:02:56,325 I was placed here on this earth to do. 43 00:02:56,325 --> 00:03:00,795 And it's that sense of freedom, but freedom and in man's search 44 00:03:01,035 --> 00:03:03,735 for meaning, uh, for Victor. 45 00:03:05,055 --> 00:03:09,195 Talks about this as well in his book, man's search for meaning freedom 46 00:03:09,225 --> 00:03:14,415 is not an outward expression of, I have the perfect job I'm doing the 47 00:03:14,415 --> 00:03:16,575 perfect thing everything's lined up. 48 00:03:16,605 --> 00:03:23,625 I have the 2.5 kids in a white picket fence and the house in the suburbs. 49 00:03:24,975 --> 00:03:29,895 Whatever your ideal dream of living your purpose might be, might be it's. 50 00:03:30,135 --> 00:03:33,645 I have no job and no house and no picket fence. 51 00:03:33,645 --> 00:03:36,975 And I'm able to travel the world and see everything that I want to see. 52 00:03:37,905 --> 00:03:43,455 We often think that it's these exterior trappings that are keeping them. 53 00:03:44,250 --> 00:03:47,399 From our purpose, keeping us from our freedom. 54 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,670 That's holding us back, but it's truth. 55 00:03:51,029 --> 00:03:53,730 It's truth that sets us free. 56 00:03:53,730 --> 00:03:58,049 And it's not just knowledge, but it's truth is something that's applied, which 57 00:03:58,049 --> 00:04:02,339 makes it cultural, which is going to be coming up in our Weaver and loom section. 58 00:04:02,420 --> 00:04:03,149 Great. 59 00:04:03,630 --> 00:04:08,100 Gosh, this killer quote from the Japanese samurai. 60 00:04:09,465 --> 00:04:12,165 Uh, uh, the ways of the warrior. 61 00:04:12,175 --> 00:04:18,495 So great quote, coming up towards the end of the show today, but 62 00:04:18,915 --> 00:04:20,475 it is truth that sets us free. 63 00:04:20,475 --> 00:04:27,525 So how do we then walk out our principles, walk out truth, walk out our values. 64 00:04:28,545 --> 00:04:29,145 Wow. 65 00:04:29,175 --> 00:04:30,675 At the same time, when someone. 66 00:04:31,905 --> 00:04:36,225 Thinks differently than us when someone else disagrees with us, when 67 00:04:36,225 --> 00:04:44,355 someone else violates our boundaries, how can we then not violate our own 68 00:04:44,505 --> 00:04:48,795 values and boundaries of being a nice person, a kind person, a loving person. 69 00:04:49,395 --> 00:04:55,335 How do we not violate our own values in retaliation to when someone violent? 70 00:04:56,205 --> 00:05:02,235 Our values or when the world in and of itself seems to be violating the very, 71 00:05:02,415 --> 00:05:04,784 the very fabric that we hold dear. 72 00:05:05,265 --> 00:05:06,615 Well, we have some stories about that. 73 00:05:07,245 --> 00:05:13,245 Today's show first, the first story of, uh, the violation of 74 00:05:13,245 --> 00:05:19,455 values and boundaries on a really a global scale it's PornHub PornHub. 75 00:05:20,765 --> 00:05:23,685 I'm sure you know, is probably the, I don't know if it's the biggest, 76 00:05:23,685 --> 00:05:27,914 but probably one of the biggest porn sites in the entire world, there is 77 00:05:27,914 --> 00:05:31,275 so much, uh, abuse on that platform. 78 00:05:31,515 --> 00:05:35,445 There's so much trafficking that actually takes place on that traffic platform, 79 00:05:35,445 --> 00:05:41,414 human trafficking, sex trafficking, girls who, and boys who are brought 80 00:05:41,505 --> 00:05:49,594 into the sex trade at an early age, and then are now being monetized on this. 81 00:05:50,805 --> 00:05:52,515 But here's this little graph. 82 00:05:52,515 --> 00:05:57,164 And if you have a podcast, 2.0 certified app that you're listening on, you be 83 00:05:57,164 --> 00:06:02,414 able to see that the cover art on the podcast is changed to this image where 84 00:06:02,414 --> 00:06:07,305 it says the number of years, it took for each product to gain 50 million users. 85 00:06:08,115 --> 00:06:12,284 And it starts with airlines that took 68 years for them to 86 00:06:12,284 --> 00:06:14,534 gain 50 million users than cars. 87 00:06:14,534 --> 00:06:17,805 62 phones, 50 years, electricity, 46. 88 00:06:19,094 --> 00:06:25,635 Credit cards, 28 TV, 22 goes on and on till we see that took 12 years for 89 00:06:25,635 --> 00:06:28,065 a mobile phone to gain 50 million. 90 00:06:28,815 --> 00:06:34,035 Uh, the iPod gained 50 million users in four years, YouTube in four 91 00:06:34,035 --> 00:06:39,645 years, Facebook 50 million users in three years, Twitter in two years. 92 00:06:40,185 --> 00:06:44,445 So, and then PornHub in 19 days, it took 19 days. 93 00:06:44,445 --> 00:06:47,505 Now this chart is a little bit dizzy. 94 00:06:48,344 --> 00:06:54,315 And this is why we see a progression of things of technology, which 95 00:06:54,465 --> 00:06:56,205 enables a network effect. 96 00:06:56,865 --> 00:06:58,565 So that's one support. 97 00:06:58,575 --> 00:06:59,685 Hump comes around. 98 00:06:59,685 --> 00:07:04,604 They're able to leverage and utilize things like YouTube, Facebook, 99 00:07:04,875 --> 00:07:09,375 Twitter, because there is now a word of mouth network that you can easily 100 00:07:09,375 --> 00:07:14,354 grow, not easily, but you can easily grow to 50 million users in 19 days. 101 00:07:14,354 --> 00:07:15,794 So there's that. 102 00:07:17,775 --> 00:07:23,294 Say that in some ways, this is not deceptive, but there's other things 103 00:07:23,294 --> 00:07:28,515 that are at play that enables PornHub to get 50 million users in 19 days. 104 00:07:28,755 --> 00:07:32,804 The other thing though, that is quite telling is that, wow, we have 105 00:07:32,804 --> 00:07:36,554 a re the globe across the globe. 106 00:07:36,895 --> 00:07:42,645 Doesn't matter what nation you might be living in has a real problem with 107 00:07:42,674 --> 00:07:44,664 an addiction and addiction to porn. 108 00:07:45,855 --> 00:07:49,365 And that addiction to pornography is fueling. 109 00:07:49,485 --> 00:07:57,045 The sex industry is fueling the degradation of our moral values, PornHub 110 00:07:57,795 --> 00:08:06,045 pornography, the, the, the dehumanizing of our intimate relationships, that something 111 00:08:06,045 --> 00:08:12,705 that's meant to be between a husband and wife, but it now it is proliferating. 112 00:08:14,605 --> 00:08:19,075 Through the internet where the internet is a very dangerous place for either 113 00:08:19,075 --> 00:08:23,725 someone's struggling with an addiction or kids because it's two, three clicks away 114 00:08:23,725 --> 00:08:28,345 and you're right there and it changes the dopamine patterns in our mind. 115 00:08:28,375 --> 00:08:31,735 It rewires us and it is an addictive process. 116 00:08:31,765 --> 00:08:38,515 Even the American psychology association says that if you are. 117 00:08:39,555 --> 00:08:44,115 And you were looking at pornography that constitutes as 118 00:08:44,115 --> 00:08:45,675 being unfaithful to your spouse. 119 00:08:45,675 --> 00:08:47,925 That constitutes as having an affair. 120 00:08:48,135 --> 00:08:53,295 That is the level of betrayal that another person feels when their 121 00:08:53,295 --> 00:08:54,945 spouse is looking at pornography. 122 00:08:55,095 --> 00:08:57,615 So it's not just a surface level thing. 123 00:08:57,795 --> 00:08:58,725 It's not just that. 124 00:08:58,725 --> 00:09:03,345 Well, you know, some people like that sort of thing, and it's really okay. 125 00:09:03,375 --> 00:09:04,635 No harm, no foul. 126 00:09:04,935 --> 00:09:05,265 Really? 127 00:09:05,265 --> 00:09:08,175 It is, it does something to our brain chemist. 128 00:09:09,195 --> 00:09:15,975 So how, how, how do we then, how do we then walk out into the world knowing 129 00:09:15,975 --> 00:09:19,515 that it's at everyone's fingertips to everyone's at every moment. 130 00:09:20,025 --> 00:09:23,055 And probably most people around us are engaged in that. 131 00:09:23,385 --> 00:09:29,895 Do we just totally cart blank, try to condemn and cancel and shut down. 132 00:09:30,225 --> 00:09:37,355 And it sensor every single, not just, not just pornography, but sensor, any. 133 00:09:38,819 --> 00:09:45,120 Or anything that might then challenge our values that might go against our values. 134 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,720 And that's what leads to this next story. 135 00:09:49,260 --> 00:09:53,040 This next story it's, uh, truly, truly tragic. 136 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:54,660 Uh, I guess not tragic. 137 00:09:54,660 --> 00:09:57,540 It's it's disgusting. 138 00:09:58,020 --> 00:09:58,980 It's horrible. 139 00:09:59,430 --> 00:10:00,510 It's criminal. 140 00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:03,810 It's violent and it. 141 00:10:05,615 --> 00:10:11,314 In no way would, should anyone ever condone this, but in Iraq, 142 00:10:11,345 --> 00:10:17,255 in Northern Iraq and Kurdistan, there was a trans woman. 143 00:10:17,255 --> 00:10:24,485 So a biological male who transitioned to become a female using a lot 144 00:10:24,485 --> 00:10:32,194 of makeup, I guess this person, uh, dose dosey, um, those sick. 145 00:10:34,615 --> 00:10:40,675 Was his or her name, um, was pretty popular on the Twitters 146 00:10:41,275 --> 00:10:51,175 popular well-known and her, his brother killed his brother, sister. 147 00:10:51,175 --> 00:10:56,605 I don't know how, how his pronouns go, but he was this transgendered 148 00:10:56,785 --> 00:11:02,215 female male, male became female was killed by his brother. 149 00:11:03,390 --> 00:11:07,620 And then fled the country, put a bullet in this person's head. 150 00:11:08,460 --> 00:11:12,030 Uh, totally, totally wicked, totally evil. 151 00:11:12,449 --> 00:11:18,300 And you know, this is now it's being considered a honor killing this, 152 00:11:18,420 --> 00:11:23,780 uh, the brother who committed the murder fled fled Curtis standard. 153 00:11:23,790 --> 00:11:26,819 Reportedly now lives in Germany. 154 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:32,965 Um, So there's two, there's two things that are at play right here. 155 00:11:34,375 --> 00:11:36,025 First, the first thing I play is 156 00:11:39,035 --> 00:11:39,455 one it's. 157 00:11:39,465 --> 00:11:40,235 This is not new. 158 00:11:40,895 --> 00:11:45,275 You look, you look across the globe and even the Arab world, 159 00:11:45,575 --> 00:11:46,865 or even the Persian world. 160 00:11:47,255 --> 00:11:51,125 And you see that there are boy yachts girls who are dressing 161 00:11:51,185 --> 00:11:53,585 like boys in are engaging in. 162 00:11:55,180 --> 00:11:58,750 Culturally inappropriate relationships with one another. 163 00:11:58,930 --> 00:12:08,229 You see across, uh, central Asia, young boys, um, frequently dancing 164 00:12:08,229 --> 00:12:13,479 and being, you know, essentially abused pedophilia, uh, across many 165 00:12:13,479 --> 00:12:16,540 of these cultures across the globe. 166 00:12:16,810 --> 00:12:19,479 And this is dated back for thousands of years. 167 00:12:19,750 --> 00:12:22,780 And this is something that frankly we're seeing in the west is. 168 00:12:24,015 --> 00:12:28,694 Pedophilia is not something that is foreign to the west, but 169 00:12:28,694 --> 00:12:34,875 so we see that there are these values that are being broken. 170 00:12:35,025 --> 00:12:38,085 These family values that are being destroyed. 171 00:12:38,505 --> 00:12:44,444 There are principles that we as monotheistic faiths, uh, 172 00:12:45,015 --> 00:12:46,545 see that are being violated. 173 00:12:47,625 --> 00:12:50,145 We can, we can, and we talk about it so much. 174 00:12:50,145 --> 00:12:50,655 You're on the show. 175 00:12:50,655 --> 00:12:51,665 The LGBTQ. 176 00:12:52,620 --> 00:12:54,060 Uh, AA agenda. 177 00:12:55,330 --> 00:13:00,360 We know that it is a, an agenda by the media to de sensitize 178 00:13:00,810 --> 00:13:02,970 or youth to then push forward. 179 00:13:04,365 --> 00:13:09,704 It's really a Marxist agenda, where there is no family structure where people do 180 00:13:09,704 --> 00:13:13,875 not know who their parents are, where there is no stability in people's lives. 181 00:13:13,964 --> 00:13:14,324 Why? 182 00:13:14,324 --> 00:13:17,505 Because if there's not stability in people's lives, people will then 183 00:13:17,805 --> 00:13:20,235 go on to rely on the government. 184 00:13:20,235 --> 00:13:24,285 And if you're relying on the government and the government has power over 185 00:13:24,285 --> 00:13:29,175 you, and it's all about power and control back to a personal level, 186 00:13:29,175 --> 00:13:32,265 we look at this story of who was. 187 00:13:34,380 --> 00:13:40,319 And on a cultural standpoint from a middle Eastern perspective, some 188 00:13:40,319 --> 00:13:43,020 people are making the argument, well, this is an honor killing you. 189 00:13:43,020 --> 00:13:47,550 We, we have to uphold our community values and this is how we uphold them. 190 00:13:47,850 --> 00:13:52,650 But from my perspective, murder, murdering someone is far worse 191 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,380 and criminal wicked evil. 192 00:13:57,944 --> 00:14:01,755 The trauma that this person may be in, or the decision, the lifestyle 193 00:14:01,995 --> 00:14:03,255 that this person is living. 194 00:14:03,495 --> 00:14:08,324 And I know many times when I talk about out about this, I get pushback 195 00:14:08,745 --> 00:14:13,155 from many people in the west saying, well, yes, but what if a 196 00:14:13,305 --> 00:14:14,775 trans person listened to your show? 197 00:14:14,775 --> 00:14:16,395 How would they feel about your show? 198 00:14:16,995 --> 00:14:18,854 And I don't take that question lightly. 199 00:14:18,854 --> 00:14:28,880 I do know that that's not the audience, however, I, I want to be a person that 200 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,270 holds onto my values and my principles. 201 00:14:32,270 --> 00:14:35,089 Who's able to say, actually, no, this is wrong. 202 00:14:35,329 --> 00:14:40,520 Living this type of lifestyle, whether it's, uh, living in a co 203 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,250 habitation relationship, whether it. 204 00:14:44,265 --> 00:14:50,175 Uh, gay marriage, whether it's the LGBTQ agenda that is targeting youth, 205 00:14:50,204 --> 00:14:55,875 whether it's young girls and young boys going through transitions, which 206 00:14:55,875 --> 00:14:59,025 is happening in the west without their parents knowing about it. 207 00:14:59,025 --> 00:15:06,855 This is a, a Luciferian demonic agenda that is coming after our kids. 208 00:15:06,855 --> 00:15:10,214 It's coming after this coming generation more than ever before. 209 00:15:10,214 --> 00:15:12,555 There's a poll that was done in the. 210 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,339 That said that 30 to 40%. 211 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:23,160 I don't remember the exact number ballpark of generation Z identify 212 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:27,600 in some way, shape or form as LGBTQ plus, which is a shocking number. 213 00:15:27,959 --> 00:15:29,520 Just absolutely shocking. 214 00:15:31,079 --> 00:15:32,790 So it's been a successful strategy. 215 00:15:32,819 --> 00:15:37,110 And we talked about this just a couple weeks ago about the film that came out 216 00:15:37,380 --> 00:15:40,230 in Egypt, which was celebrating these. 217 00:15:43,275 --> 00:15:44,865 Amorality in morality. 218 00:15:45,255 --> 00:15:53,655 And there was outcry to cancel Netflix because of the, because of the, uh, trying 219 00:15:53,655 --> 00:16:01,005 to desensitize their youth through the celebration of non-traditional values. 220 00:16:01,454 --> 00:16:02,444 And this is what we talk about. 221 00:16:04,065 --> 00:16:07,845 So, how do we hold onto our values, continue to speak? 222 00:16:07,845 --> 00:16:11,985 What is true while at the same time, seeing the individual and being able to 223 00:16:11,985 --> 00:16:19,545 be a source of help and life and light and comfort and mercy to those people clearly 224 00:16:20,085 --> 00:16:22,245 honor, killings are not the way to go. 225 00:16:22,275 --> 00:16:29,475 Clearly just casting a stone of judgment against someone is not the way. 226 00:16:30,944 --> 00:16:36,375 However I see across global culture, global culture, not 227 00:16:36,375 --> 00:16:38,505 just in one place global culture. 228 00:16:38,714 --> 00:16:43,305 We have a tendency to other, the other person. 229 00:16:43,425 --> 00:16:46,905 We have a tendency to say, oh, you think a little bit differently than you. 230 00:16:47,084 --> 00:16:48,314 We can't interact. 231 00:16:48,345 --> 00:16:50,025 We can't have a relationship. 232 00:16:50,055 --> 00:16:57,045 We can't have any sort of mutual connection because you might corrupt. 233 00:16:58,444 --> 00:17:01,925 You might corrupt me if we think differently on hard issues like the 234 00:17:01,925 --> 00:17:07,264 Palestinian Israeli conflict, you might corrupt me because you don't have the 235 00:17:07,264 --> 00:17:09,454 same humanitarian values that I have. 236 00:17:09,454 --> 00:17:10,625 Now that can go both ways. 237 00:17:11,375 --> 00:17:13,055 That does go both ways. 238 00:17:13,264 --> 00:17:17,165 If one person is saying, well, you know, I can't be friends. 239 00:17:17,194 --> 00:17:21,665 I can't be friends with you because you don't share the same human 240 00:17:21,665 --> 00:17:24,234 rights that I have because I think. 241 00:17:27,244 --> 00:17:28,534 Israel is an apartheid state. 242 00:17:31,615 --> 00:17:36,385 And we need to just do away with all of Israel, all of the Jews who aren't really 243 00:17:36,385 --> 00:17:41,574 Jews, we need to do away with them, which is my opinion, a call for open genocide. 244 00:17:43,314 --> 00:17:45,084 Both sides are equally offended. 245 00:17:45,415 --> 00:17:50,725 The side that is pro Hamas saying, well, I can't, I can't engage with you because 246 00:17:50,725 --> 00:17:56,935 you believe in you support an apartheid state, which has been said, The irony. 247 00:17:56,965 --> 00:18:00,145 The deep irony is the converse is true. 248 00:18:00,145 --> 00:18:06,265 The opposite is also true, which is well, that means that I shouldn't want 249 00:18:06,265 --> 00:18:14,785 to engage with you or befriend you because you support and promote an 250 00:18:14,815 --> 00:18:18,535 open call for genocide from the river to the sea is real shoulder Palestine. 251 00:18:20,010 --> 00:18:20,850 It goes both ways. 252 00:18:20,850 --> 00:18:24,270 So that clearly to me is not the solution. 253 00:18:25,740 --> 00:18:26,730 What is the solution? 254 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:33,870 Well, a third story, which I think ties back further into the fact that we really 255 00:18:33,870 --> 00:18:37,830 do live surrounded by a spiritual world. 256 00:18:37,860 --> 00:18:40,230 And we know this, we all know that. 257 00:18:41,235 --> 00:18:46,365 I think even the, the atheists know this and we, we see it as evidenced by our 258 00:18:47,385 --> 00:18:53,715 cultures, fascination with poor films, cultures, fascination, with, with whether 259 00:18:53,715 --> 00:18:58,365 it's, uh, um, astrology, which is not just the study of the stars, but it's the 260 00:18:58,365 --> 00:19:02,595 reading of the stars or their fascination with tarot cards or Eastern misses. 261 00:19:03,870 --> 00:19:06,720 Doesn't matter, maybe it does matter, but I don't think it 262 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,220 matters really where you're from. 263 00:19:08,399 --> 00:19:10,920 We all know that there is a spiritual route. 264 00:19:12,690 --> 00:19:17,610 There is a clip that came out just this week of a woman who was 265 00:19:17,610 --> 00:19:23,490 rescued from being trafficked in America and a quite a tragic clip. 266 00:19:23,490 --> 00:19:24,480 We're going to play this clip. 267 00:19:25,500 --> 00:19:31,200 This is in no way, shape, form, or means meant to humiliate or disgrace. 268 00:19:31,530 --> 00:19:31,770 This. 269 00:19:33,315 --> 00:19:40,005 Who has been through a world of abuse, um, likely see Canik ritual 270 00:19:40,005 --> 00:19:44,565 abuse because that's really what the trafficking and prostitution is. 271 00:19:44,565 --> 00:19:47,625 It is satanic ritual abuse. 272 00:19:49,685 --> 00:19:51,065 Here's a, here's a clip from. 273 00:19:53,149 --> 00:19:53,570 Here's the club. 274 00:19:55,610 --> 00:19:57,500 If they right there, before we move 275 00:20:09,620 --> 00:20:10,250 back up. 276 00:20:21,024 --> 00:20:22,975 Ma'am ma'am, we're going to have to taze you. 277 00:20:22,975 --> 00:20:23,545 You're not going to like, 278 00:20:27,145 --> 00:20:27,835 you couldn't hear that. 279 00:20:27,835 --> 00:20:29,925 You said I don't understand what you're telling me. 280 00:20:30,355 --> 00:20:34,855 If you're not watching, you can see a clip of her trying to get out of a car 281 00:20:34,855 --> 00:20:41,425 as the police officers trying to put her in a car and she screaming, uh, hissing, 282 00:20:44,575 --> 00:20:46,764 clearly evidence of demonic possession. 283 00:20:49,554 --> 00:20:52,284 But this is, this is the, the broken state. 284 00:20:53,915 --> 00:20:58,165 When I, when I look at this woman and I think of the millions who are 285 00:20:58,165 --> 00:21:06,355 trafficked globally, millions across, across the middle east, cross Asia, 286 00:21:07,794 --> 00:21:14,085 across China, Russia, Europe, Africa. 287 00:21:15,135 --> 00:21:19,935 America in America, 300,000 kids are trafficked. 288 00:21:20,985 --> 00:21:25,635 People are trafficked every year in America, 300,000. 289 00:21:26,505 --> 00:21:31,125 Not all of it is sex trafficking, but a large majority of it is across the globe. 290 00:21:31,155 --> 00:21:33,555 Now all of it is, uh, sex trafficking. 291 00:21:34,665 --> 00:21:40,845 A lot of is labor trafficking, essentially enslaved labor slavery has not gone away 292 00:21:40,935 --> 00:21:43,515 in by any stretch of the imagination. 293 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:51,020 It's not gone away, but the level of oppression, the level 294 00:21:51,050 --> 00:21:57,920 of abuse that people go through, it can be easy to cast a stone. 295 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:02,990 It can be easy to say, well, we need to just throw these separate 296 00:22:02,990 --> 00:22:05,120 ourselves as far as possible. 297 00:22:05,940 --> 00:22:09,330 Culture, separate ourselves as far as possible from these 298 00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:10,410 issues that are happening. 299 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,840 Let's not talk about these taboo issues. 300 00:22:12,930 --> 00:22:14,070 Let's dumb it down. 301 00:22:14,850 --> 00:22:17,580 Let's dumb it down and keep it simple. 302 00:22:18,180 --> 00:22:24,300 Keep it non trigger warning, but it doesn't make the issues go away. 303 00:22:24,300 --> 00:22:30,270 And it doesn't help people like this poor woman who is, who has suffered tremendous 304 00:22:30,270 --> 00:22:32,610 abuse and that tremendous abuse. 305 00:22:35,085 --> 00:22:41,835 The entry point for it is PornHub the entry point for the abuse that these men 306 00:22:41,835 --> 00:22:46,574 and women go through, because one out of five people who are trafficked are male, 307 00:22:48,195 --> 00:22:56,024 and the average age into practicing or prostitution, at least in America is like 308 00:22:56,415 --> 00:22:58,245 eight, between eight and 11 years old. 309 00:22:58,895 --> 00:22:59,564 Very young. 310 00:23:00,254 --> 00:23:03,135 These are innocent children who are being abused. 311 00:23:04,865 --> 00:23:10,475 Sold and then further monetized through pornography. 312 00:23:10,835 --> 00:23:15,125 So our actions there in that dark underworld, that's all around us, 313 00:23:15,125 --> 00:23:20,255 where there is a spiritual world that is influencing, influencing us 314 00:23:21,755 --> 00:23:26,795 that is, has this in an addiction many times or a spiritual world 315 00:23:26,795 --> 00:23:29,255 that, that not only causes. 316 00:23:30,014 --> 00:23:34,995 Or might further entrap someone in identity crisis, not knowing who they 317 00:23:34,995 --> 00:23:44,895 are, not knowing who was I supposed to be, but then a demonic realm that 318 00:23:44,895 --> 00:23:53,345 then would drive someone to murder their own brother for the sake of. 319 00:23:59,389 --> 00:24:00,379 I don't really have answers. 320 00:24:00,379 --> 00:24:04,159 I don't have, I definitely don't have answers to these questions, 321 00:24:05,780 --> 00:24:09,770 but is the thing that I grapple with is the thing that I grapple with. 322 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:15,230 How do we show and hold onto our values? 323 00:24:16,190 --> 00:24:16,760 Wow. 324 00:24:18,649 --> 00:24:20,450 Still loving the person in front of us. 325 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:20,629 No. 326 00:24:21,585 --> 00:24:25,245 And this is where it falls kind of all over the place and apologize. 327 00:24:25,245 --> 00:24:29,805 But this is where it's, there's a moat on both sides because one side 328 00:24:29,805 --> 00:24:38,345 can say and fall into the moral relativism where we say, it's okay, 329 00:24:38,465 --> 00:24:39,545 everyone can do what they want. 330 00:24:39,545 --> 00:24:40,805 Let everyone just live. 331 00:24:40,805 --> 00:24:41,435 As we want. 332 00:24:41,435 --> 00:24:44,705 The other side can live in it, fall into dogmatism where we say, 333 00:24:44,915 --> 00:24:46,355 this is the way it has to be. 334 00:24:46,355 --> 00:24:53,645 And if you think differently than you're out, Neither side is helping the abused, 335 00:24:53,735 --> 00:25:00,365 the oppressed, the, the poor physically, financially, or spiritually poor 336 00:25:00,365 --> 00:25:03,725 person that is trapped in this bondage. 337 00:25:04,115 --> 00:25:10,955 So how can you build a culture in your life where you are able to engage 338 00:25:10,955 --> 00:25:14,785 with people who are not like you, where you are able to engage with. 339 00:25:16,459 --> 00:25:22,159 Who are broken, we're hurting for a falling for oppressed or struggling 340 00:25:23,060 --> 00:25:28,100 who offend you and offend your values, who offend the things that you stand 341 00:25:28,100 --> 00:25:33,350 for, who things that fly in the face of everything that you believe to be right. 342 00:25:33,350 --> 00:25:33,830 And true. 343 00:25:33,830 --> 00:25:39,350 How can you care in a genuine way for that person while at the 344 00:25:39,350 --> 00:25:44,540 same time, not compromising on the things that you love and. 345 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:50,430 Yeah, that makes sense. 346 00:25:50,430 --> 00:25:54,810 In a post-truth society where we've exchanged truth lies and reason 347 00:25:54,810 --> 00:25:56,460 for postmodern irrationality. 348 00:25:56,460 --> 00:25:59,460 The absurd finally makes sense. 349 00:25:59,460 --> 00:26:04,920 Well, we think that the digital VR world of safety bubbles is 350 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:11,670 going to save us from the dark underworld, but I'm afraid not this. 351 00:26:13,105 --> 00:26:18,985 Or I guess it was last week, uh, a woman by the name of Nina Patel 352 00:26:19,225 --> 00:26:27,145 was virtually gain raped on Metta, which is Facebook's, uh, VR platform. 353 00:26:27,564 --> 00:26:32,814 And she said that within 60 seconds of her logging into. 354 00:26:34,379 --> 00:26:37,830 Corizon venues, which is the VR world owned by Mehta. 355 00:26:37,830 --> 00:26:42,419 Formerly Facebook Patel said that three to four male avatars with 356 00:26:42,419 --> 00:26:47,189 male voices, essentially virtually gained, raped my avatar and took 357 00:26:47,189 --> 00:26:49,470 photos as they tried to get away. 358 00:26:49,470 --> 00:26:50,070 They yelled. 359 00:26:50,250 --> 00:26:51,510 Don't pretend you didn't love it. 360 00:26:52,830 --> 00:26:56,760 And some other crude, some crude things that are not worth repeating, but 361 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,800 this is, this is the digital world. 362 00:26:59,010 --> 00:27:02,060 Oftentimes the digital world really brings. 363 00:27:03,810 --> 00:27:04,919 The worst in us. 364 00:27:05,699 --> 00:27:12,000 And it, it, it brings out in many ways, the things that we restrain 365 00:27:12,750 --> 00:27:16,710 in normal society, because we have this veil of anonymity. 366 00:27:17,010 --> 00:27:17,790 We have this veil. 367 00:27:19,035 --> 00:27:22,035 Well, people don't really know who I am so I can get away with this. 368 00:27:22,035 --> 00:27:23,655 And it's just the digital world. 369 00:27:23,655 --> 00:27:24,045 Anyways. 370 00:27:24,045 --> 00:27:26,505 There's not a person on the other side of that screen, and 371 00:27:26,505 --> 00:27:28,545 that can happen through wars. 372 00:27:28,545 --> 00:27:32,025 We get in common sections where that can happen in making 373 00:27:32,025 --> 00:27:33,735 obscene comments or posts. 374 00:27:34,005 --> 00:27:38,085 It happens in the consumer, the consumption of pornography, and now 375 00:27:38,145 --> 00:27:40,755 it's happening in these VR worlds. 376 00:27:41,205 --> 00:27:45,845 Now it is not that digital technology is bringing. 377 00:27:46,845 --> 00:27:52,455 The worst in us or that all of a sudden this is a new problem that 378 00:27:52,485 --> 00:27:54,525 digital technologies are causing. 379 00:27:54,825 --> 00:27:58,935 Rather technology is merely exposing the truth. 380 00:27:58,935 --> 00:27:59,715 That's already there. 381 00:28:00,495 --> 00:28:04,335 It was a V Victor Frankl, who you mentioned earlier in the show who 382 00:28:04,335 --> 00:28:08,565 wrote man's search for meaning, who says that there is a line of evil 383 00:28:08,745 --> 00:28:12,825 that runs down the center of every man's heart that each and every one 384 00:28:12,825 --> 00:28:15,375 of us has a incredible propensity. 385 00:28:16,260 --> 00:28:20,429 For evil and that should frighten us and that should scare us. 386 00:28:20,970 --> 00:28:24,990 So human nature is evil. 387 00:28:25,260 --> 00:28:25,800 Human nature. 388 00:28:25,870 --> 00:28:26,970 You look across the world. 389 00:28:27,060 --> 00:28:27,929 It is evil. 390 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:32,399 Mankind is not basically good is that's just a fallacy. 391 00:28:32,639 --> 00:28:38,580 It's not, there are people who, whose lives have been transformed, 392 00:28:39,149 --> 00:28:41,310 who used their life for good. 393 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:42,659 There are. 394 00:28:43,935 --> 00:28:48,254 Who strive against the darkness in one's own heart, but that's 395 00:28:48,254 --> 00:28:49,725 not, that's not everyone. 396 00:28:50,114 --> 00:28:52,995 And that's not that shouldn't be taken for granted. 397 00:28:53,024 --> 00:28:59,685 That's not a given well, this falls into, yeah, that makes sense. 398 00:28:59,685 --> 00:29:02,324 Because this is where the world is moving. 399 00:29:02,655 --> 00:29:07,965 We're moving to more digitalized platforms, more digitalized engagements. 400 00:29:08,235 --> 00:29:10,064 And I hope, I hope. 401 00:29:12,895 --> 00:29:16,195 I hope that we begin to pull back from it and we begin to 402 00:29:16,195 --> 00:29:18,775 engage in real life with people. 403 00:29:19,255 --> 00:29:24,985 I hope that the next generations begin to do that as well, but I also realize 404 00:29:25,405 --> 00:29:28,045 that the digital world is real life. 405 00:29:30,205 --> 00:29:31,375 We can easily say that. 406 00:29:31,375 --> 00:29:33,115 Well, Instagram isn't real life. 407 00:29:33,115 --> 00:29:36,235 And I've said that I've said that even this last week, Instagram is not real. 408 00:29:37,125 --> 00:29:41,235 Don't get overly concerned with what some stranger thinks about you on the internet. 409 00:29:42,195 --> 00:29:44,625 It, it is real, but it's not real. 410 00:29:46,065 --> 00:29:54,855 However people's experience life experience is growing in the composition 411 00:29:55,065 --> 00:29:58,695 of digital experiences that they will have across their lifetime. 412 00:29:58,695 --> 00:30:03,045 And that does make up a real portion of their life. 413 00:30:03,945 --> 00:30:10,035 So in this post-truth system, We're where we are substituting life on life 414 00:30:10,065 --> 00:30:16,815 engagement for digital eco chambers, because that's something that the internet 415 00:30:16,845 --> 00:30:20,625 has done, which has been an amazing thing and an amazing curse to humanity. 416 00:30:20,925 --> 00:30:24,495 It has caused us to be able to connect you and I we're connecting 417 00:30:24,495 --> 00:30:29,415 because of the internet and likely the likelihood that you think a lot 418 00:30:29,415 --> 00:30:31,155 like me is probably pretty high. 419 00:30:31,514 --> 00:30:32,715 Cause I know for a fact. 420 00:30:34,034 --> 00:30:38,655 People who disagree with what I say are not coming here, listening to this show. 421 00:30:39,375 --> 00:30:45,975 They're not, we are talking because we think in a similar way, we have a 422 00:30:45,975 --> 00:30:50,835 shared level of culture or values, or even maybe it's geographical location. 423 00:30:50,925 --> 00:30:52,544 There's something that is holding us. 424 00:30:56,255 --> 00:30:56,855 So that's amazing. 425 00:30:56,855 --> 00:31:00,725 Cause we were through the digital world, we're able to find our tribe. 426 00:31:00,755 --> 00:31:04,565 We're able to find people that like, oh my goodness, you think like me, you feel like 427 00:31:04,565 --> 00:31:06,635 me, you see the world the way that I do. 428 00:31:07,355 --> 00:31:13,565 But the downside of that is when we are confronted with real life people in 429 00:31:13,565 --> 00:31:17,015 front of us who don't think like us don't feel like us, you don't see the world. 430 00:31:17,015 --> 00:31:20,015 That the way that we do no longer are we forced to confess. 431 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:26,250 Ourselves in that instance, no longer are we forced to have relationship 432 00:31:26,730 --> 00:31:31,020 with people around us that aren't like us, that disagree with us. 433 00:31:31,020 --> 00:31:34,320 That will challenge the things that we say that will challenge the things that we 434 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:39,120 think, which think causes us to have the ability to pull into our echo chambers. 435 00:31:40,470 --> 00:31:44,650 And it causes us to have more and more. 436 00:31:47,265 --> 00:31:48,075 Not self fulfilling. 437 00:31:48,075 --> 00:31:54,615 Prophecy is confirmation bias is the word I'm looking for, where we begin to 438 00:31:54,615 --> 00:31:56,955 think that everyone else thinks like me. 439 00:31:56,955 --> 00:32:00,255 And when we find someone that doesn't think like me, oh 440 00:32:00,285 --> 00:32:01,605 my goodness, I've never met. 441 00:32:01,695 --> 00:32:04,875 I've never met someone that thinks differently than I do. 442 00:32:04,875 --> 00:32:07,335 I didn't know that that person actually existed. 443 00:32:07,335 --> 00:32:11,655 I thought that was just some fringe alt, whatever that's out 444 00:32:11,655 --> 00:32:13,575 there, which is why back when. 445 00:32:14,699 --> 00:32:18,479 Uh, president of the United States when I'd meet someone who clearly 446 00:32:18,479 --> 00:32:23,040 I could tell was probably, uh, very much didn't like Trump. 447 00:32:23,070 --> 00:32:28,080 Normally they say something about it early on in the conversation about how insane, 448 00:32:28,439 --> 00:32:31,139 uh, former president Donald Trump was. 449 00:32:31,860 --> 00:32:34,649 And I would say, oh yeah, I really like him. 450 00:32:34,679 --> 00:32:39,790 I voted for him and they'd be like, they'd be so shocked. 451 00:32:39,790 --> 00:32:41,020 They'd fall out of their chair. 452 00:32:41,290 --> 00:32:42,250 But I would say it not. 453 00:32:43,034 --> 00:32:47,294 To then get into a debate, not to then hit each other over the head, 454 00:32:47,445 --> 00:32:52,665 not to cause controversy, but to have a space where all of a sudden, 455 00:32:53,054 --> 00:32:54,824 I'm not in my echo chamber anymore. 456 00:32:57,514 --> 00:33:02,044 And that is a healthy place to be building a community around you that 457 00:33:02,044 --> 00:33:05,735 doesn't think like you building a team around you that doesn't think 458 00:33:05,735 --> 00:33:07,205 like you building a team around you. 459 00:33:07,205 --> 00:33:08,105 That's not yes. 460 00:33:08,105 --> 00:33:08,615 Mans. 461 00:33:08,794 --> 00:33:09,095 Yes. 462 00:33:09,095 --> 00:33:09,605 Womans. 463 00:33:09,814 --> 00:33:10,085 Yes. 464 00:33:10,115 --> 00:33:10,685 Children. 465 00:33:10,895 --> 00:33:11,105 Yes. 466 00:33:12,075 --> 00:33:12,585 Peers. 467 00:33:12,615 --> 00:33:12,885 Yes. 468 00:33:12,885 --> 00:33:13,485 Mentors. 469 00:33:13,995 --> 00:33:18,315 You want to find people who were, who challenge the way that you think. 470 00:33:18,405 --> 00:33:24,465 Otherwise it will be very easy to fall into traps that will 471 00:33:24,735 --> 00:33:28,275 quite easily de rail our lives. 472 00:33:28,275 --> 00:33:31,065 So this show is brought to you by listeners like you. 473 00:33:31,065 --> 00:33:34,695 This is a value for value podcast, which means that we 474 00:33:34,695 --> 00:33:36,255 don't have advertisers on it. 475 00:33:37,565 --> 00:33:43,145 Instead, this show is fueled by people and listeners, just like you giving 476 00:33:43,145 --> 00:33:47,885 value back to the show in a monetary measure in the same value that you 477 00:33:47,885 --> 00:33:51,065 got out of the show, you can give value back to the show by visiting 478 00:33:51,065 --> 00:33:56,254 us@lucasrobot.com backslash support and giving

you can load up your Satoshi wallet with a little 484 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:21,390 bit of Bitcoin and you can stream Satoshi's, which are like the micro 485 00:34:21,390 --> 00:34:23,520 millionth of a S of a Bitcoin. 486 00:34:24,180 --> 00:34:27,450 As you listen to the show as. 487 00:34:28,455 --> 00:34:30,465 To give back or I don't go away. 488 00:34:30,855 --> 00:34:35,594 We will be right back with our closing Weaver and loom segment. 489 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,560 Welcome back to Weaver and Luma part of the show where we take ancient wisdom 490 00:34:46,590 --> 00:34:50,310 and we weave it in with our everyday lives that we can own our future. 491 00:34:50,610 --> 00:34:57,840 And we've our Destiny's today's quote is from, uh, booshie do, which bushy 492 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:03,780 do is a moral code concerning samurai attitudes, behaviors, and lifestyles. 493 00:35:03,780 --> 00:35:05,670 I took that straight off of Wikipedia. 494 00:35:06,839 --> 00:35:12,960 Now there are multiple codes or types that have evolved throughout the centuries. 495 00:35:13,350 --> 00:35:17,609 Um, and today we have a quote from it, which I love. 496 00:35:17,850 --> 00:35:23,460 I just, I really love this quote who she do. 497 00:35:23,940 --> 00:35:29,130 Moral code culture says a culture is not a set of beliefs. 498 00:35:30,060 --> 00:35:32,009 It is a set of actions. 499 00:35:33,330 --> 00:35:34,530 It's not a set of beliefs. 500 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,000 It is a set of actions. 501 00:35:36,030 --> 00:35:38,970 This is, this is exactly what we talk about. 502 00:35:40,500 --> 00:35:46,410 We have a set of beliefs, a set of ideas that we hold true, but the only create 503 00:35:46,410 --> 00:35:52,170 culture, if we act upon them and I would even go as far to argue, we only 504 00:35:52,170 --> 00:35:54,000 believe something that we act upon. 505 00:35:55,650 --> 00:35:58,590 We only believe something that we act upon. 506 00:35:58,590 --> 00:36:01,620 If we believe a certain business. 507 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,730 Or a certain stock is going to be successful. 508 00:36:05,730 --> 00:36:10,140 If we believe a certain way of living, whether it's exercise or 509 00:36:10,170 --> 00:36:14,520 eating healthy is going to create the best result for our life. 510 00:36:14,550 --> 00:36:17,430 If we truly believe it, then we will act out upon it. 511 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:22,350 Otherwise we have a conflicting set of beliefs somewhere deep down. 512 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:28,380 We have some sort of cognitive dissonance, which will we, we will then find evidence. 513 00:36:29,505 --> 00:36:34,875 To undergird or to undermine that positive belief, because we realize 514 00:36:34,875 --> 00:36:36,165 that there's a cognitive dissonance. 515 00:36:36,165 --> 00:36:39,945 If I believe that working out is really going to help me. 516 00:36:39,945 --> 00:36:43,425 I know it up here, but somewhere deep down, I believe. 517 00:36:44,235 --> 00:36:46,305 Ah, well, I'm, I'm still young. 518 00:36:46,305 --> 00:36:47,265 I'm still healthy. 519 00:36:47,925 --> 00:36:50,535 Uh, I know that working out will be good for me, but I don't really think it's 520 00:36:50,535 --> 00:36:53,355 going to change my life all that much. 521 00:36:53,955 --> 00:36:57,945 So I, I undermine my belief of, Hey, you should write. 522 00:37:01,185 --> 00:37:04,965 Well, because I do that and I don't act upon what I know. 523 00:37:04,995 --> 00:37:05,895 And therefore I know it. 524 00:37:05,895 --> 00:37:06,495 I don't believe it. 525 00:37:07,905 --> 00:37:11,295 I'm not actually creating a culture in my life that is 526 00:37:11,295 --> 00:37:13,365 leading me to where I want to go. 527 00:37:13,665 --> 00:37:16,875 And this is the very thing that we've been talking about. 528 00:37:17,895 --> 00:37:22,155 We have our beliefs, we have the things that we know are. 529 00:37:23,250 --> 00:37:27,330 And when we act out on that truth, that truth becomes activated in 530 00:37:27,330 --> 00:37:29,669 our lives and transforms our lives. 531 00:37:29,669 --> 00:37:35,580 It's not enough to merely know something, but we have to live it out. 532 00:37:36,149 --> 00:37:41,250 It's not enough to have the right outward forms of saying the right 533 00:37:41,250 --> 00:37:42,540 things and checking the right boxes. 534 00:37:42,540 --> 00:37:48,060 We have to have that transform our inner belief system, which then 535 00:37:48,930 --> 00:37:50,939 transforms the culture around. 536 00:37:52,140 --> 00:37:56,090 I hope that you go out this week grappling with this question. 537 00:37:56,220 --> 00:38:02,790 It's not a easy one, two punch for this question of how do we hold onto 538 00:38:02,790 --> 00:38:11,620 our values without violating our value of love and kindness and mercy. 539 00:38:14,720 --> 00:38:18,410 Because if someone violates our values by living a lifestyle or 540 00:38:18,410 --> 00:38:20,360 believing something differently than. 541 00:38:23,050 --> 00:38:29,140 And then in retaliation to the, the offense that I've received in retaliation 542 00:38:29,140 --> 00:38:35,260 to that, I then violate my own boundaries of kindness, of gentleness, of mercy. 543 00:38:35,290 --> 00:38:37,030 Self-control of loving. 544 00:38:37,780 --> 00:38:44,590 If I violate that, then I've now violated my own moral code, my own principles. 545 00:38:46,210 --> 00:38:50,200 And that is far worse than someone else violating. 546 00:38:51,509 --> 00:38:54,149 That is a betrayal of self. 547 00:38:54,149 --> 00:39:00,000 So go out this week, don't betray yourself and definitely don't betray your friends. 548 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:04,529 And one way that you can not betray your friends is by sharing this podcast with 549 00:39:04,529 --> 00:39:06,240 them and having a conversation about it. 550 00:39:06,240 --> 00:39:12,660 I know this wasn't a three point, you know, easy 1, 2, 3, 551 00:39:12,660 --> 00:39:14,730 answer here, but it's a question. 552 00:39:15,870 --> 00:39:19,830 Have this conversation, even if you don't share the podcast, have this conversation. 553 00:39:20,580 --> 00:39:24,930 With other people in your life, how do you hold on to values and not become dogmatic? 554 00:39:25,590 --> 00:39:31,200 How do you love the person in front of you and not just fall into moral relativism 555 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,160 and to say, oh, let's co-exist you can just live the way that you want to live. 556 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:35,760 And it's fine. 557 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:40,080 Oh, it's totally fine that you think that you can murder babies in the room. 558 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:40,860 No big deal. 559 00:39:41,130 --> 00:39:41,550 You do. 560 00:39:41,550 --> 00:39:42,420 You I'll do me. 561 00:39:42,420 --> 00:39:43,530 We don't want to fall into that. 562 00:39:43,770 --> 00:39:44,370 Likewise. 563 00:39:44,490 --> 00:39:47,760 We don't want to fall into the other side of the camp where we are 564 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,590 now committing acts of violence. 565 00:39:51,035 --> 00:39:57,214 In retaliation to acts of violence or in retaliation to someone thinking 566 00:39:57,335 --> 00:40:02,254 differently than us or living a lifestyle that goes against our moral 567 00:40:02,315 --> 00:40:08,165 set of beliefs or pushing underneath the rug and not talking about things 568 00:40:08,165 --> 00:40:14,165 that are clearly happening in society issues that are clearly every, every 569 00:40:14,165 --> 00:40:17,225 youth across the globe is talking about and struggling through. 570 00:40:17,585 --> 00:40:18,395 We don't want to just push. 571 00:40:19,245 --> 00:40:20,444 Underneath the rug. 572 00:40:20,444 --> 00:40:21,495 We need to talk about it. 573 00:40:21,674 --> 00:40:26,415 How do we then talk about it in a way that's not normalizing, normalizing 574 00:40:26,835 --> 00:40:28,845 something that we know is ultimately. 575 00:40:29,565 --> 00:40:34,185 Going to corrode and destroy someone's life. 576 00:40:34,455 --> 00:40:38,265 Thank you so much for being here on today's episode, episode 270.
