The one sure sign that you can trust someone or an ideology of leader
or religion or an organization is that if they don't allow you
to criticize them or agree with.
Take for instance, communism, Marxism, and the USSR, a completely
trustworthy government organization, worldview that disappeared hundreds.
Well, this is your millions of peoples and killed end up killing hundreds
of millions of people in the dead of night by sending them to the
gulags, but a bold and commendable step to follow what you believe.
To the very fullness.
They were a true warrior class, a brave group of people who followed orders
because they knew that if they didn't follow those orders, they would wind up
in the same gulags, torture, chambers, and dead, or think your toxic boss.
Or significant other, you walk around that person on eggshells because heaven forbid
you were point out a blind spot because it would come right back at you with
blame fury and maybe evil firing or worse public berating and passive aggression.
You can be sure that you can trust this person and you should respect
them for being so manipulative.
This is a praise worthy.
That is really missing from society today.
Someone willing to commit an act of violence and abuse in order to defend
what they believe unprecedented.
This is a sign that that person or worldview is to be praised and right.
Righteous and trusted.
And this isn't just in recent history.
Take this Spanish inquisition.
It was one of the most upright institutions of the Catholic church
in the 14 hundreds and venting the most revolutionary torture devices
to strike terror in the hearts of anyone who might dare speak out
against the terror and dark practices.
The inquisition, thereby proving that the inquisition was righteous, just true and
a completely trustworthy organization.
In fact, if you find a person or belief system that is willing to accept
criticism examined its blind spots or criticized its own shortcoming refuses
to return insults with violence.
You should run for sure.
That level of meekness self-control and humility is a sign that that
person or ideology won't last, it's a sign that, that belief system
isn't really worth fighting for.
It is weak on trustworthy.
Unsure.
If someone isn't willing to commit the most heinous crimes to defend their
deviance, then what do they really have?
Take for instance, the one and only will Smith.
He wasn't going to let Chris rock humiliate his wife who humiliated him on
the Oscars show that no one was watching.
So he took action and responded with violence, standing up for what he believes
or a couple of years ago that fight between Habib and Connor went Habib and
his Motley gain assaulted Connor and Connor's co-workers or co-conspirators.
Because of Connor's truly vile comments and insults Khabib violence proves that
Habib has the moral high ground, a praise worthy metaphysical worldview, proving
that the morals of his life are standards that we should all strive to live by.
I mean, if you really believe in something, if you really believe
it, and someone insults your.
Someone disagrees in a F uh, fronts, what you believe.
I'm not sure you really believe it unless you respond with the emotional maturity
and restraint of a mother bear and heat separated from her Cubs or science.
Don't question.
The science before when science was a weak and frail study, it
allowed itself to be questioned.
In fact, the whole idea of science was to question itself.
No more, a new era has come and we can finally trust the science.
And if we dare use science to question science, we will quickly find out that
you will be silenced named, called canceled, be called anti-science science
phobic, and this level of totalitarian and authoritarian control by the high priests
of science backed by the power of the, uh, Is proof that we should accept and
never questioned with the high priests of science command us to believe, or
remember BLM, who can't account for tens of millions of dollars that they raised.
Remember how they burned down billions of dollars of small businesses and loaded
major stores across America, assaulted people eating at restaurants because they
refuse to say that black lives matter.
And how they called anyone racist if they weren't racist against white people.
Yes, indeed.
This level of mastery of propaganda programming in terror
is the very proof that BLM is about love, peace and tolerance.
In short, you can trust totalitarian organizations, ideologies, and
worldviews and authoritarian.
If you can't criticize that person, if that person is unwilling to see any
blind spots, that's how you can be sure that you can follow them even to your.
If you can't criticize a worldview, then by golly, it must be great.
And it must be the truth.
Hey, it's Lucas Skrobot and you're listening to the Lucas Skrobot show
where we uncover purpose for SU truth and own the future episode 278.
It is April 14th, 2022.
And I have been thinking more.
About exiting the metaphors, exiting this world of digital
transactions and interactions,
because one, it feels, it feels so draining to me, it feels so tiring to me.
And it, it feels so fake.
I don't know about you, but over the past two years, My world has increasingly
pushed forwards mediated relationships.
My world has been pushed more and more to having engagements online
connections, online meetings, online mediated by zoom screens.
I mean, right now our relationship is mean moderate mitigated by.
A half a dozen screens or a dozen screens in front of me and the podcast
player or video screen in front of you.
This metaverse that we live in, it lacks a level of substance.
It lacks a level of something real.
And I have been struggling in so many ways.
With the lack of connection that I am feeling in the
world around me, everything's beginning to feel some mediated.
So NetApp and tying it into the intro.
We are actually going to talk about that.
I realize I didn't introduce that.
Well, we're going to talk about this intro a little later in the show.
Uh, it does tie.
But when we live in a world that is mediated when we live in a world where
you have to sensor, not even sensor what you say, but you never know if,
what you say on a, on a platform is going to cause you to be canceled
where you don't have freedom of speech.
We don't have freedom of expression where you don't have the ability to
have a conversation without the risk.
Retaliation by a certain group, whatever that group might be, it grows tiring.
And in this mediated world, everything is a microtransaction every stroke of your.
Is a transaction of sorts with another mediated.
Another meta verse.
I had a conversation this week with Dr.
Richard Smith, and we were talking about, uh, Dr.
Wolf gained Smith's, uh, not related work and his work on metaphysics.
And this is an episode there'll be Erin in a few weeks, highly recommended.
I I'm still.
The thoughts and the ideas that we talked about are so rolling through
my head and really impacting me on a deeper level, because it's been
something that I've been thinking about these mediated relationships.
And in this interview, we spoke about the digital world, the falsified transactional
world, where we paint our best face.
We mediate our personality and who we are.
And we upload little bits and pieces of ourselves creating
a digital identity, creating a digital selfie, even this podcast.
This is just a slice of my life that is comprising of my digital
avatar that lives online, that you are engaging with my digital avatar.
Not necessarily me as my person, even though I would love more of that.
I would love to have.
In-person conversations, but all of this, all of these screens, all of these media
mediated, engagements, or relationships, social media that we think we're actually
engaging and connecting with people when really it's leaving us feeling more
and more empty has drawn me to realize.
We need to be Morde to the real world, to the real society,
flesh and blood around us.
And now this might just be unique to me as a content creator, as someone who
works in the realm of thoughts and ideas, I can often tend to isolate myself.
But in this interview that we were talking with Dr.
Richard Smith, we were talking about the corporeal world, and this is the world of
that, which we can feel and touch and, and not just quantitatively, but qualitatively
that peace, justice, kindness, all these ideas of even breaking your word.
How, how can that be measured, measured.
Those are things of the portal.
Where we have a soul where we have a spirit, but the metaverse is spiritless
the metaverse and AI is emotionless.
The metaverse is devoid from life.
AI is devoid from actual life.
It's not intelligence.
It is just programming and algorithms.
There's computers have tried to simulate life.
Scientists have tried to simulate life, but they have not been able to, we've
only been able to create life from life.
We've not been able to create life forms on its own by ourselves,
which says that in the, in the, in the world that we live in.
There is a metaphysical realm.
There is a realm outside of the physical atoms and photons and
electrons that we can see and measure.
There is a world outside of that.
And that world exists in the actual natural world that we engage in
of doing things with your hands.
So in the last couple of years, as I said, I've drawn to these meta engagement.
And had been feeling this lack personally of real world work, working with my hands,
working with the community around me.
And so I bring that up.
I bring that up because we are increasingly being pushed as a society
into a better world, into the metaverse everything being pushed by me.
Bye engagements on social media or everything is a transaction where
our minds are becoming to be rewired where our children's minds are being
rewired to really become the fuel and the engine for these tech companies,
just like in the matrix where we are plugged into the matrix and we become.
The generators to generate the power of the internet.
It's our user content that we're putting on.
It's our likes scrolling and liking.
That's driving the advertising sales.
That's keeping these things alive and it's at the expense.
It's at the expense of our emotional wellbeing.
It's at the expense of our relationships.
It's at the expense of fulfillment, real fulfillment in.
Now, clearly I believe in media, I believe that it's worth taking the time and the
effort and the energy to putting your life work out there, to engage in society.
And to have those conversations to communications that take the time to post
something so people can read it and see it to create the time to create a podcast.
Is it helps you develop your own language to help you develop your own
thoughts of how you see the world?
Because talking is thinking the way that we think is through
conversation, the way that we organize our thoughts is through conference.
Without the freedom and without giving the time and the space to talk things
through, we will never give time and space to think things through.
We'll never give ourselves the ability to know what we think.
And if we never give ourselves the ability to know what we think, we will
never give ourselves the opportunity.
To know what we actually believe and to come to some sort of position and
decision on what we believe, because the freedom of belief is directly
tied to the freedom of speech.
If we have freedom of speech and the freedom to explore ideas in speech,
we can then organize our thoughts and our thoughts then are enabled.
To discern what we actually believe.
And this is how it ties in the whole tie in from this beginning
section to the intro is that the mediated world is controlling
speech, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram.
They are controlling speech.
They're shaping speech and therefore they're shaping thoughts.
And anyone who decides to go against the grain is labeled docs canceled.
They lose the ability to enter into that public forum, which
really isn't a public form.
It's a controlled and mediated environment that gives us the illusion of how.
A completely public forum, a completely open forum.
And when we see ideologies being pushed in the world, that you're
not able to question, you're not able to disagree with that.
You're not able to criticize that.
You're not able to make fun of that.
You're not able to make light of if there are ideologies.
Belief systems in the world that refuse criticism of itself.
One that that's evidence of a totalitarian, uh, worldview
authoritarian worldview.
If no one is able to take open the curtains to take a step past the current.
And say, Hey, the inner workings of this thing, there's a lot of problems with it.
There's a lot of problems with the inner workings of this worldview,
the inner workings of this policy, the inner workings of this movement.
There's some major issues.
If you can't do that, if there's not the freedom to do that, that is a major,
major red flag, incredible red flag.
But instead what we're seeing.
We're seeing people praising.
We're seeing people crazy.
Those who have are of a quote-unquote warrior class who refuse to be
criticized, who won't let themselves be insulted, who refused to
have questions posed against it.
Criticisms posed against it without retaliating in some sort of violence or.
To defend itself.
Those worldviews, those ideologies are not, are not the ways to life.
They're not the ways to living a life that is free
in a post-truth society where we've exchanged the truth for lies and reason
for postmodern irrationality, the absurd.
Finally makes sense.
Well, as I said, uh, I've been sent a couple videos this week where people
have been praising ideas, organizations, movements that do not allow any sort
of criticism or insults to me be made.
And this is, uh, I believe it's one it's dangerous for those to be in the world.
Because when we look at the long history of when any organization has adopted that.
As I mentioned in the introduction that the Catholic church or the Spanish
inquisition, where they wouldn't allow any, any level of criticism or
disagreement, they were called heretics and people were burned at the stake.
People tortured and tortured chambers beheaded because you disagreed
with the state religion combo because you disagreed with that.
And now we're seeing in the west with scientism.
Always led to destruction of people can be an isolation of people if
anyone who stands in their way.
But now there is a movement it's probably always been there, but
there's a resurgence of talk of saying it is good to not just do eye for
an eye, but if someone insults you that you need to retaliate tenfold.
You want to be a person who's respected in this world?
Well, came across a clip by Muhammad Ali quote, who is from
Palestine, who is from chef Jera, uh, famous activists for Palestine.
And he was reading recently talking at the university of Arizona.
And someone secretly recorded his talk and he's been going around all
these universities getting paid five, $10,000 to give talks on Palestine.
And this is what Muhammad had to say.
Here's the.
Um, I suspect some apartheid lovers are here too.
That's fine.
um, a couple of fours.
If you have coffee, you will get shocked.
If you heckle me, you will get shot here.
Is it Arizona state university being invited to.
And obviously this is, you know, people say, well, this is a joke.
Clearly it was a joke.
However, it's, it's not really something that you should joke about.
See if you heckle me, you will get shot.
But this is the, this is the face of the ideology that if you insult
me, if you heckle me, it's not just this ideology in activism, but
it's in many different forms of.
That if you are insulted or heckled or disagreed with, we
will respond with violence.
Why?
Because that creates a level of terror of fear where people don't want
to disagree with that organization because you never can be sure
what sort of backlash will happen.
This is the definition of terrorism beyond the, what it's.
Become to be known as today when we talk about quote-unquote
terrorism, but this is terror.
This doesn't just happen on a governmental level or massive level.
This can happen in homes.
When, when you around someone that you're always walking on eggshells with,
you never know if you say something, if you will get shot, whether that
happens through, uh, an explosion of verbal abuse or whether that happens
through actual physical abuse.
This is individuals creating a level of terror in their surrounding
to control their environment.
And when, when you look at what Mohammed here said, in context,
in context of other things that he said that previous talk Mohammed
though was asked if palace.
As what would happen to Israelis if Palestine took all the land citing what
he says in many Palestinian activists say, which is from the river to the
sea, Palestine will be free, which is truly a call of ethnic cleansing of
Jews out of Palestine and the keynotes.
Who's being paid tens of thousands of dollars by these universities
said, quote, I don't care.
I truly sincerely don't give an F
this is, this is the face of activism, which is I do not have
mercy or compassion on anyone.
All I care about is that I get my way and I will get my weight, even if that means
that I need to incite violence and incite fear against those who disagree with me.
If you make fun of me, I'll slap you.
If you insult my beliefs and criticize my worldview, I will
incite violence against you.
I will pass a spirit of terror into people because.
If you walk on eggshells, if you're walking in terror, I will be able to
control the environment and control the situation because you won't
be a force to be reckoned with.
And no one would dare call out my blind spots.
My dark spots, my weak spots, because they would know that they
would have their day of reckoning.
Again, it's not just.
Activism, but we saw this manifest with will Smith.
When he slapped Chris rock, we saw that this week when an ump at a softball game
in America, a female got punched by a mom because the mom didn't like the call.
We saw this with the hubby versus Conor fight.
We saw this with Charlie Hebdo shootings.
We saw this and have seen it recently.
Silence science, follow the science don't question.
The science trust, the science.
We witnessed it with BLM it's pervasive across society.
And this is a quality that some people have become to praise and glorify as, as
being something that alpha males do that.
This is great because alpha male.
Strong men, a warrior class fights for what they believe that those who
retaliate with 10 times force when slap questions or criticized or insulted
is something that we need more of.
And again, it's been through history, we've seen it with the
Catholic church, disappearing people in the 14 hundreds, the U S.
Communism China,
Cambodia sending millions to the gulags and ultimately to brick walls in the back.
We've seen it with Twitter and Facebook disappearing people off
of media platforms to make sure that you can't speak the truth.
You can't say.
That eman is a man and woman is a woman and a man can not become a woman
that is now by Twitter's standards.
Considered hate speech.
Now it's been praised is abusive men like Andrew Tate.
Who's a Kickbox boxing fighter and reality TV star from the brother
who got kicked off the show.
Because of beating a woman on the show, this person is now this is
being praised and celebrated for openly talking about how to manipulate
women, how to get women, how to oppress women, how to never apologize.
Even suggesting that women bear responsibility for being.
He's praising, worldviews and ideologies that explicitly and explicitly praising
that they're stripping women of their dignity and that men should have multiple
women that they're able to sleep around with, because this is the biological
alpha male that men should manifest.
I don't think, I don't think people should be become beta males who are
passive, like Ahab, who just sock and don't take action, who don't take
responsibility, who aren't willing to stand up and be strong, but people
should become like omega males, which is omega is the last letter of the Greek.
And it'll make a male is someone who has strength, who has power,
but who has emotional stability and maturity to restrain their power and
use gentleness rather than crushing their opposition and omega mail.
As someone who airs for lifts up loves and defends their wife and
their family not seeks to oppress it, to never apologize to the.
And the fact that this is something that's been praised in society on a whole,
whether secular or religious societies.
Unbelievable.
But this is what's being exalted and these are ideologies.
These are red flags and ideologies that should make you stop and say.
Why am I not allowed to ask a question?
Why am I not allowed to criticize?
Why am I not allowed to put out to point out blind spots or weak spots,
sport or legitimate criticisms without being then turned and being insulted
or attacked or blocked or canceled?
Why is this why those movements should be.
'cause that those, those all might be examples of power of people who are
powerful and power is very attractive to many it's examples of power, but
it's not an example of meekness.
Meekness is power under control of the sheaving of a sword.
You have the sword, you have the weapon, but you don't need it.
And meekness is the way of truth, not retaliation, revenge, violence,
depravity, and silencing those who disagree with you with threats and terror.
Well, this show is brought to you by viewers and listeners, just like you.
This is a value for value podcast.
We don't have massive.
Advertisements here on the show, but instead it's supported by people like
you who give value from the value that they get back out of the show, whether
it's giving $1 per episode or whether it's giving $20 a month or a hundred
dollars a month, whatever value that.
We ask that you, if you value the show and you want to see it grow, that you
would consider giving value back to the show in the value that you received,
you can do that by visiting Lucas, robot.com/support or through listening
on a 2.0 podcast, listening app like breeze Finks, or pod friend, where you can
upload your Satoshis and you can stream.
As you listen, don't go away.
We'll be right back with our closing Weaver and loom segment.
Welcome back to Weaver Luma, part of the show where we take ancient wisdom
and we weave it in with our everyday lives so that we can own our future.
And we've our Destiny's today's quote is ancient.
It comes from someone who is ancient, at least, uh, Warren buffet.
The man, the myth, the legend, he said only when you combine sound intellect
with emotional discipline, do you get rational behavior only when you
combine sound intellect with emotional discipline, do you get rational behavior?
What I love about Warren buffet is that he said, Do not invest in any
business that you don't understand.
And that's where I feel.
And I think that as we look into the future and we see that there are
warning signs that there's a coming recession in the globe inflation at
an all time high and we're looking.
How to apply wisdom to our life, to own our future, to create the future
that we want to not be passive.
How do we do that one?
We have to be a part of the proportional world, the world that is physically around
us, not just betting on the, metaverse, not just betting on technology and then.
Another way that we must move forward in the times that are coming, whether
it's a global recession or depression or something else, even in good times,
it is, as you said, meeting both sound intellect and emotional discipline.
All of it, the examples that we gave on today's show showed people.
Who are not exercising, emotional discipline and restraint.
And therefore we're getting irrational behavior where we see movements
who don't have sound intellect.
And then they're taking that sound intellect or unsound intellect,
like communism, socialism, Marxism to its full extent.
And it becomes something that's very irrational.
It becomes something that's very destructive.
So as we move forward in our lives, we need both of those things.
We need the emotional intelligence intelligence, the emotional
discipline to stay focused, to stay in meekness and kindness.
To stay, not as someone who is aggressive, manipulative and controlling casting fear
into the hearts of everyone around us.
But we are someone who brings gentleness and kindness.
And when we are treated with contempt and hatred, instead of responding
with revenge to guest feeder,
And the hearts of everyone around us so that we can control our environment.
Instead we react with gentleness and emotional discipline, and
likewise, we need to think soundly.
We need to be of a sober mind as we move into this years ahead, no
matter what comes even today, we need to have a sound intellect in order
to operate in a rational manner.
In the coming years, because that is how we will really own our futures.
That is how we will weave our destiny through wisdom through wisdom and
wisdom is not just knowledge, but it's knowledge applied in that
application is the emotional discipline.
Well, if you got value out of this and you want to get more value out of it,
we ask that you share this show with.
Friends and normally best.
I mean, you can share it with someone who's not your friend, but that
normally that normally comes out sideways, says passive aggressive.
If you're trying to get a point across to someone, who's not your friend
by sending them something that they know that you know, that they're
going to totally disagree with.
So send it to a friend that would appreciate it.
If you appreciate the show, that's one way that you can give back to the show.
That is all for today's episode.
Thanks for listening.
I hope that you go out this week in kindness, meekness and gentleness
that you do not retaliate when you're insulted or criticized, but that
we grow in meekness and humility.
We grow in emotional discipline sound intellect that we would walk
and owner futures with rational.
