1 00:00:00,150 --> 00:00:05,580 The one sure sign that you can trust someone or an ideology of leader 2 00:00:05,730 --> 00:00:11,550 or religion or an organization is that if they don't allow you 3 00:00:11,550 --> 00:00:14,010 to criticize them or agree with. 4 00:00:14,985 --> 00:00:19,335 Take for instance, communism, Marxism, and the USSR, a completely 5 00:00:19,335 --> 00:00:23,745 trustworthy government organization, worldview that disappeared hundreds. 6 00:00:23,955 --> 00:00:28,545 Well, this is your millions of peoples and killed end up killing hundreds 7 00:00:28,605 --> 00:00:32,955 of millions of people in the dead of night by sending them to the 8 00:00:32,955 --> 00:00:37,605 gulags, but a bold and commendable step to follow what you believe. 9 00:00:38,339 --> 00:00:39,900 To the very fullness. 10 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:45,930 They were a true warrior class, a brave group of people who followed orders 11 00:00:45,930 --> 00:00:50,310 because they knew that if they didn't follow those orders, they would wind up 12 00:00:50,340 --> 00:00:56,489 in the same gulags, torture, chambers, and dead, or think your toxic boss. 13 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:02,940 Or significant other, you walk around that person on eggshells because heaven forbid 14 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:08,760 you were point out a blind spot because it would come right back at you with 15 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:15,420 blame fury and maybe evil firing or worse public berating and passive aggression. 16 00:01:16,170 --> 00:01:20,880 You can be sure that you can trust this person and you should respect 17 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,650 them for being so manipulative. 18 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,900 This is a praise worthy. 19 00:01:25,950 --> 00:01:28,080 That is really missing from society today. 20 00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:32,970 Someone willing to commit an act of violence and abuse in order to defend 21 00:01:33,150 --> 00:01:35,610 what they believe unprecedented. 22 00:01:35,820 --> 00:01:42,990 This is a sign that that person or worldview is to be praised and right. 23 00:01:43,380 --> 00:01:44,370 Righteous and trusted. 24 00:01:45,570 --> 00:01:47,669 And this isn't just in recent history. 25 00:01:48,119 --> 00:01:49,979 Take this Spanish inquisition. 26 00:01:50,070 --> 00:01:53,609 It was one of the most upright institutions of the Catholic church 27 00:01:53,609 --> 00:01:57,660 in the 14 hundreds and venting the most revolutionary torture devices 28 00:01:57,839 --> 00:02:02,429 to strike terror in the hearts of anyone who might dare speak out 29 00:02:02,639 --> 00:02:05,100 against the terror and dark practices. 30 00:02:05,914 --> 00:02:12,454 The inquisition, thereby proving that the inquisition was righteous, just true and 31 00:02:12,454 --> 00:02:14,975 a completely trustworthy organization. 32 00:02:15,155 --> 00:02:21,035 In fact, if you find a person or belief system that is willing to accept 33 00:02:21,125 --> 00:02:28,954 criticism examined its blind spots or criticized its own shortcoming refuses 34 00:02:29,915 --> 00:02:32,135 to return insults with violence. 35 00:02:32,910 --> 00:02:35,580 You should run for sure. 36 00:02:35,700 --> 00:02:40,530 That level of meekness self-control and humility is a sign that that 37 00:02:40,530 --> 00:02:45,690 person or ideology won't last, it's a sign that, that belief system 38 00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:48,030 isn't really worth fighting for. 39 00:02:48,060 --> 00:02:50,370 It is weak on trustworthy. 40 00:02:50,790 --> 00:02:51,660 Unsure. 41 00:02:52,170 --> 00:02:56,490 If someone isn't willing to commit the most heinous crimes to defend their 42 00:02:56,490 --> 00:02:58,920 deviance, then what do they really have? 43 00:03:00,090 --> 00:03:02,850 Take for instance, the one and only will Smith. 44 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:07,830 He wasn't going to let Chris rock humiliate his wife who humiliated him on 45 00:03:07,830 --> 00:03:10,410 the Oscars show that no one was watching. 46 00:03:10,620 --> 00:03:17,520 So he took action and responded with violence, standing up for what he believes 47 00:03:17,820 --> 00:03:21,930 or a couple of years ago that fight between Habib and Connor went Habib and 48 00:03:21,930 --> 00:03:27,750 his Motley gain assaulted Connor and Connor's co-workers or co-conspirators. 49 00:03:28,515 --> 00:03:35,175 Because of Connor's truly vile comments and insults Khabib violence proves that 50 00:03:35,175 --> 00:03:41,565 Habib has the moral high ground, a praise worthy metaphysical worldview, proving 51 00:03:41,925 --> 00:03:48,035 that the morals of his life are standards that we should all strive to live by. 52 00:03:48,315 --> 00:03:52,245 I mean, if you really believe in something, if you really believe 53 00:03:52,245 --> 00:03:54,405 it, and someone insults your. 54 00:03:55,350 --> 00:03:58,770 Someone disagrees in a F uh, fronts, what you believe. 55 00:03:59,700 --> 00:04:03,960 I'm not sure you really believe it unless you respond with the emotional maturity 56 00:04:04,140 --> 00:04:11,220 and restraint of a mother bear and heat separated from her Cubs or science. 57 00:04:11,790 --> 00:04:13,260 Don't question. 58 00:04:13,260 --> 00:04:18,060 The science before when science was a weak and frail study, it 59 00:04:18,060 --> 00:04:19,860 allowed itself to be questioned. 60 00:04:19,860 --> 00:04:24,330 In fact, the whole idea of science was to question itself. 61 00:04:25,125 --> 00:04:31,275 No more, a new era has come and we can finally trust the science. 62 00:04:31,275 --> 00:04:36,555 And if we dare use science to question science, we will quickly find out that 63 00:04:36,555 --> 00:04:44,265 you will be silenced named, called canceled, be called anti-science science 64 00:04:44,355 --> 00:04:50,565 phobic, and this level of totalitarian and authoritarian control by the high priests 65 00:04:50,575 --> 00:04:57,840 of science backed by the power of the, uh, Is proof that we should accept and 66 00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:03,360 never questioned with the high priests of science command us to believe, or 67 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:09,120 remember BLM, who can't account for tens of millions of dollars that they raised. 68 00:05:09,810 --> 00:05:14,190 Remember how they burned down billions of dollars of small businesses and loaded 69 00:05:14,430 --> 00:05:18,810 major stores across America, assaulted people eating at restaurants because they 70 00:05:18,810 --> 00:05:21,240 refuse to say that black lives matter. 71 00:05:22,005 --> 00:05:26,295 And how they called anyone racist if they weren't racist against white people. 72 00:05:26,295 --> 00:05:27,315 Yes, indeed. 73 00:05:27,465 --> 00:05:31,725 This level of mastery of propaganda programming in terror 74 00:05:31,875 --> 00:05:37,035 is the very proof that BLM is about love, peace and tolerance. 75 00:05:37,665 --> 00:05:42,855 In short, you can trust totalitarian organizations, ideologies, and 76 00:05:42,855 --> 00:05:44,925 worldviews and authoritarian. 77 00:05:46,875 --> 00:05:51,135 If you can't criticize that person, if that person is unwilling to see any 78 00:05:51,135 --> 00:05:57,335 blind spots, that's how you can be sure that you can follow them even to your. 79 00:05:58,230 --> 00:06:04,560 If you can't criticize a worldview, then by golly, it must be great. 80 00:06:04,770 --> 00:06:06,570 And it must be the truth. 81 00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:10,680 Hey, it's Lucas Skrobot and you're listening to the Lucas Skrobot show 82 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:17,940 where we uncover purpose for SU truth and own the future episode 278. 83 00:06:17,970 --> 00:06:21,450 It is April 14th, 2022. 84 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,980 And I have been thinking more. 85 00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:34,620 About exiting the metaphors, exiting this world of digital 86 00:06:34,740 --> 00:06:36,930 transactions and interactions, 87 00:06:40,170 --> 00:06:45,330 because one, it feels, it feels so draining to me, it feels so tiring to me. 88 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,560 And it, it feels so fake. 89 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:57,645 I don't know about you, but over the past two years, My world has increasingly 90 00:06:57,675 --> 00:07:01,095 pushed forwards mediated relationships. 91 00:07:01,305 --> 00:07:08,025 My world has been pushed more and more to having engagements online 92 00:07:08,415 --> 00:07:13,395 connections, online meetings, online mediated by zoom screens. 93 00:07:13,395 --> 00:07:16,695 I mean, right now our relationship is mean moderate mitigated by. 94 00:07:18,105 --> 00:07:23,805 A half a dozen screens or a dozen screens in front of me and the podcast 95 00:07:23,805 --> 00:07:26,025 player or video screen in front of you. 96 00:07:26,985 --> 00:07:32,475 This metaverse that we live in, it lacks a level of substance. 97 00:07:32,505 --> 00:07:34,395 It lacks a level of something real. 98 00:07:34,905 --> 00:07:39,345 And I have been struggling in so many ways. 99 00:07:41,020 --> 00:07:44,440 With the lack of connection that I am feeling in the 100 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,890 world around me, everything's beginning to feel some mediated. 101 00:07:48,190 --> 00:07:52,450 So NetApp and tying it into the intro. 102 00:07:54,789 --> 00:07:56,200 We are actually going to talk about that. 103 00:07:56,349 --> 00:07:58,119 I realize I didn't introduce that. 104 00:07:58,119 --> 00:08:01,419 Well, we're going to talk about this intro a little later in the show. 105 00:08:02,049 --> 00:08:03,150 Uh, it does tie. 106 00:08:05,385 --> 00:08:10,365 But when we live in a world that is mediated when we live in a world where 107 00:08:10,365 --> 00:08:17,205 you have to sensor, not even sensor what you say, but you never know if, 108 00:08:17,205 --> 00:08:22,095 what you say on a, on a platform is going to cause you to be canceled 109 00:08:22,095 --> 00:08:24,525 where you don't have freedom of speech. 110 00:08:24,525 --> 00:08:28,695 We don't have freedom of expression where you don't have the ability to 111 00:08:28,695 --> 00:08:31,305 have a conversation without the risk. 112 00:08:33,115 --> 00:08:39,355 Retaliation by a certain group, whatever that group might be, it grows tiring. 113 00:08:41,245 --> 00:08:49,075 And in this mediated world, everything is a microtransaction every stroke of your. 114 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,150 Is a transaction of sorts with another mediated. 115 00:08:54,210 --> 00:08:55,950 Another meta verse. 116 00:08:56,700 --> 00:08:58,470 I had a conversation this week with Dr. 117 00:08:58,590 --> 00:09:01,590 Richard Smith, and we were talking about, uh, Dr. 118 00:09:01,590 --> 00:09:07,680 Wolf gained Smith's, uh, not related work and his work on metaphysics. 119 00:09:08,580 --> 00:09:12,150 And this is an episode there'll be Erin in a few weeks, highly recommended. 120 00:09:12,150 --> 00:09:13,130 I I'm still. 121 00:09:14,444 --> 00:09:18,015 The thoughts and the ideas that we talked about are so rolling through 122 00:09:18,015 --> 00:09:23,025 my head and really impacting me on a deeper level, because it's been 123 00:09:23,025 --> 00:09:25,905 something that I've been thinking about these mediated relationships. 124 00:09:27,135 --> 00:09:34,455 And in this interview, we spoke about the digital world, the falsified transactional 125 00:09:34,455 --> 00:09:36,675 world, where we paint our best face. 126 00:09:37,905 --> 00:09:40,335 We mediate our personality and who we are. 127 00:09:40,335 --> 00:09:44,235 And we upload little bits and pieces of ourselves creating 128 00:09:44,235 --> 00:09:48,225 a digital identity, creating a digital selfie, even this podcast. 129 00:09:48,555 --> 00:09:53,085 This is just a slice of my life that is comprising of my digital 130 00:09:53,895 --> 00:09:59,415 avatar that lives online, that you are engaging with my digital avatar. 131 00:09:59,955 --> 00:10:03,765 Not necessarily me as my person, even though I would love more of that. 132 00:10:03,765 --> 00:10:05,145 I would love to have. 133 00:10:06,074 --> 00:10:15,064 In-person conversations, but all of this, all of these screens, all of these media 134 00:10:15,454 --> 00:10:22,865 mediated, engagements, or relationships, social media that we think we're actually 135 00:10:22,865 --> 00:10:27,125 engaging and connecting with people when really it's leaving us feeling more 136 00:10:27,125 --> 00:10:30,155 and more empty has drawn me to realize. 137 00:10:31,939 --> 00:10:37,010 We need to be Morde to the real world, to the real society, 138 00:10:37,550 --> 00:10:38,840 flesh and blood around us. 139 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:43,610 And now this might just be unique to me as a content creator, as someone who 140 00:10:43,610 --> 00:10:48,710 works in the realm of thoughts and ideas, I can often tend to isolate myself. 141 00:10:52,130 --> 00:10:54,980 But in this interview that we were talking with Dr. 142 00:10:54,980 --> 00:10:59,449 Richard Smith, we were talking about the corporeal world, and this is the world of 143 00:10:59,449 --> 00:11:06,860 that, which we can feel and touch and, and not just quantitatively, but qualitatively 144 00:11:07,430 --> 00:11:13,699 that peace, justice, kindness, all these ideas of even breaking your word. 145 00:11:13,850 --> 00:11:15,650 How, how can that be measured, measured. 146 00:11:16,370 --> 00:11:18,290 Those are things of the portal. 147 00:11:19,515 --> 00:11:24,165 Where we have a soul where we have a spirit, but the metaverse is spiritless 148 00:11:24,375 --> 00:11:27,675 the metaverse and AI is emotionless. 149 00:11:28,604 --> 00:11:33,194 The metaverse is devoid from life. 150 00:11:33,255 --> 00:11:36,464 AI is devoid from actual life. 151 00:11:36,645 --> 00:11:38,025 It's not intelligence. 152 00:11:38,505 --> 00:11:40,694 It is just programming and algorithms. 153 00:11:41,415 --> 00:11:46,665 There's computers have tried to simulate life. 154 00:11:47,685 --> 00:11:52,605 Scientists have tried to simulate life, but they have not been able to, we've 155 00:11:52,605 --> 00:11:54,705 only been able to create life from life. 156 00:11:54,705 --> 00:11:59,955 We've not been able to create life forms on its own by ourselves, 157 00:12:00,675 --> 00:12:06,345 which says that in the, in the, in the world that we live in. 158 00:12:07,335 --> 00:12:08,955 There is a metaphysical realm. 159 00:12:08,955 --> 00:12:13,785 There is a realm outside of the physical atoms and photons and 160 00:12:13,785 --> 00:12:16,125 electrons that we can see and measure. 161 00:12:16,125 --> 00:12:18,074 There is a world outside of that. 162 00:12:18,585 --> 00:12:24,885 And that world exists in the actual natural world that we engage in 163 00:12:25,785 --> 00:12:27,225 of doing things with your hands. 164 00:12:27,824 --> 00:12:35,055 So in the last couple of years, as I said, I've drawn to these meta engagement. 165 00:12:35,955 --> 00:12:43,935 And had been feeling this lack personally of real world work, working with my hands, 166 00:12:43,995 --> 00:12:47,505 working with the community around me. 167 00:12:48,045 --> 00:12:50,625 And so I bring that up. 168 00:12:51,495 --> 00:12:57,795 I bring that up because we are increasingly being pushed as a society 169 00:12:58,095 --> 00:13:04,095 into a better world, into the metaverse everything being pushed by me. 170 00:13:05,574 --> 00:13:09,985 Bye engagements on social media or everything is a transaction where 171 00:13:09,985 --> 00:13:14,454 our minds are becoming to be rewired where our children's minds are being 172 00:13:14,515 --> 00:13:20,665 rewired to really become the fuel and the engine for these tech companies, 173 00:13:20,665 --> 00:13:25,015 just like in the matrix where we are plugged into the matrix and we become. 174 00:13:25,950 --> 00:13:29,880 The generators to generate the power of the internet. 175 00:13:29,910 --> 00:13:32,730 It's our user content that we're putting on. 176 00:13:32,730 --> 00:13:35,790 It's our likes scrolling and liking. 177 00:13:36,060 --> 00:13:38,340 That's driving the advertising sales. 178 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,590 That's keeping these things alive and it's at the expense. 179 00:13:44,130 --> 00:13:46,470 It's at the expense of our emotional wellbeing. 180 00:13:46,860 --> 00:13:49,500 It's at the expense of our relationships. 181 00:13:49,830 --> 00:13:54,530 It's at the expense of fulfillment, real fulfillment in. 182 00:13:55,395 --> 00:14:03,225 Now, clearly I believe in media, I believe that it's worth taking the time and the 183 00:14:03,285 --> 00:14:10,964 effort and the energy to putting your life work out there, to engage in society. 184 00:14:12,180 --> 00:14:16,290 And to have those conversations to communications that take the time to post 185 00:14:16,290 --> 00:14:20,939 something so people can read it and see it to create the time to create a podcast. 186 00:14:20,970 --> 00:14:25,530 Is it helps you develop your own language to help you develop your own 187 00:14:25,590 --> 00:14:27,990 thoughts of how you see the world? 188 00:14:28,709 --> 00:14:36,170 Because talking is thinking the way that we think is through 189 00:14:36,170 --> 00:14:40,130 conversation, the way that we organize our thoughts is through conference. 190 00:14:42,540 --> 00:14:47,219 Without the freedom and without giving the time and the space to talk things 191 00:14:47,219 --> 00:14:50,459 through, we will never give time and space to think things through. 192 00:14:50,459 --> 00:14:53,550 We'll never give ourselves the ability to know what we think. 193 00:14:53,910 --> 00:14:58,650 And if we never give ourselves the ability to know what we think, we will 194 00:14:58,650 --> 00:15:02,130 never give ourselves the opportunity. 195 00:15:03,045 --> 00:15:08,835 To know what we actually believe and to come to some sort of position and 196 00:15:08,835 --> 00:15:15,315 decision on what we believe, because the freedom of belief is directly 197 00:15:15,315 --> 00:15:17,265 tied to the freedom of speech. 198 00:15:18,375 --> 00:15:24,285 If we have freedom of speech and the freedom to explore ideas in speech, 199 00:15:24,345 --> 00:15:28,845 we can then organize our thoughts and our thoughts then are enabled. 200 00:15:29,685 --> 00:15:33,015 To discern what we actually believe. 201 00:15:34,725 --> 00:15:39,314 And this is how it ties in the whole tie in from this beginning 202 00:15:39,314 --> 00:15:48,165 section to the intro is that the mediated world is controlling 203 00:15:48,375 --> 00:15:54,415 speech, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. 204 00:15:56,235 --> 00:15:58,185 They are controlling speech. 205 00:15:58,574 --> 00:16:02,685 They're shaping speech and therefore they're shaping thoughts. 206 00:16:03,045 --> 00:16:12,714 And anyone who decides to go against the grain is labeled docs canceled. 207 00:16:13,405 --> 00:16:18,324 They lose the ability to enter into that public forum, which 208 00:16:18,324 --> 00:16:19,555 really isn't a public form. 209 00:16:19,555 --> 00:16:24,685 It's a controlled and mediated environment that gives us the illusion of how. 210 00:16:25,485 --> 00:16:30,165 A completely public forum, a completely open forum. 211 00:16:32,595 --> 00:16:37,905 And when we see ideologies being pushed in the world, that you're 212 00:16:37,905 --> 00:16:44,745 not able to question, you're not able to disagree with that. 213 00:16:44,745 --> 00:16:46,665 You're not able to criticize that. 214 00:16:46,665 --> 00:16:48,405 You're not able to make fun of that. 215 00:16:48,405 --> 00:16:52,365 You're not able to make light of if there are ideologies. 216 00:16:53,205 --> 00:16:58,575 Belief systems in the world that refuse criticism of itself. 217 00:17:00,965 --> 00:17:05,665 One that that's evidence of a totalitarian, uh, worldview 218 00:17:05,835 --> 00:17:07,145 authoritarian worldview. 219 00:17:07,385 --> 00:17:13,325 If no one is able to take open the curtains to take a step past the current. 220 00:17:14,099 --> 00:17:18,240 And say, Hey, the inner workings of this thing, there's a lot of problems with it. 221 00:17:18,569 --> 00:17:21,930 There's a lot of problems with the inner workings of this worldview, 222 00:17:21,930 --> 00:17:25,710 the inner workings of this policy, the inner workings of this movement. 223 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,240 There's some major issues. 224 00:17:27,540 --> 00:17:35,700 If you can't do that, if there's not the freedom to do that, that is a major, 225 00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:40,260 major red flag, incredible red flag. 226 00:17:40,500 --> 00:17:41,460 But instead what we're seeing. 227 00:17:42,315 --> 00:17:44,504 We're seeing people praising. 228 00:17:45,645 --> 00:17:47,625 We're seeing people crazy. 229 00:17:49,764 --> 00:17:55,045 Those who have are of a quote-unquote warrior class who refuse to be 230 00:17:55,045 --> 00:17:59,185 criticized, who won't let themselves be insulted, who refused to 231 00:17:59,185 --> 00:18:02,425 have questions posed against it. 232 00:18:02,425 --> 00:18:09,895 Criticisms posed against it without retaliating in some sort of violence or. 233 00:18:10,995 --> 00:18:12,044 To defend itself. 234 00:18:14,705 --> 00:18:21,965 Those worldviews, those ideologies are not, are not the ways to life. 235 00:18:22,205 --> 00:18:26,345 They're not the ways to living a life that is free 236 00:18:30,064 --> 00:18:34,115 in a post-truth society where we've exchanged the truth for lies and reason 237 00:18:34,115 --> 00:18:36,274 for postmodern irrationality, the absurd. 238 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,420 Finally makes sense. 239 00:18:39,420 --> 00:18:48,030 Well, as I said, uh, I've been sent a couple videos this week where people 240 00:18:48,090 --> 00:18:59,010 have been praising ideas, organizations, movements that do not allow any sort 241 00:18:59,010 --> 00:19:02,280 of criticism or insults to me be made. 242 00:19:05,475 --> 00:19:13,435 And this is, uh, I believe it's one it's dangerous for those to be in the world. 243 00:19:13,435 --> 00:19:19,965 Because when we look at the long history of when any organization has adopted that. 244 00:19:21,420 --> 00:19:24,450 As I mentioned in the introduction that the Catholic church or the Spanish 245 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,500 inquisition, where they wouldn't allow any, any level of criticism or 246 00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:31,560 disagreement, they were called heretics and people were burned at the stake. 247 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:38,610 People tortured and tortured chambers beheaded because you disagreed 248 00:19:38,670 --> 00:19:44,730 with the state religion combo because you disagreed with that. 249 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,010 And now we're seeing in the west with scientism. 250 00:19:50,745 --> 00:19:58,545 Always led to destruction of people can be an isolation of people if 251 00:19:58,575 --> 00:19:59,895 anyone who stands in their way. 252 00:19:59,895 --> 00:20:03,465 But now there is a movement it's probably always been there, but 253 00:20:03,465 --> 00:20:10,965 there's a resurgence of talk of saying it is good to not just do eye for 254 00:20:10,965 --> 00:20:17,625 an eye, but if someone insults you that you need to retaliate tenfold. 255 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:24,540 You want to be a person who's respected in this world? 256 00:20:24,570 --> 00:20:30,750 Well, came across a clip by Muhammad Ali quote, who is from 257 00:20:30,750 --> 00:20:38,670 Palestine, who is from chef Jera, uh, famous activists for Palestine. 258 00:20:39,690 --> 00:20:45,360 And he was reading recently talking at the university of Arizona. 259 00:20:47,705 --> 00:20:52,265 And someone secretly recorded his talk and he's been going around all 260 00:20:52,385 --> 00:20:57,125 these universities getting paid five, $10,000 to give talks on Palestine. 261 00:20:57,425 --> 00:21:01,115 And this is what Muhammad had to say. 262 00:21:01,355 --> 00:21:01,595 Here's the. 263 00:21:03,389 --> 00:21:06,360 Um, I suspect some apartheid lovers are here too. 264 00:21:08,909 --> 00:21:09,510 That's fine. 265 00:21:14,340 --> 00:21:16,649 um, a couple of fours. 266 00:21:19,169 --> 00:21:20,939 If you have coffee, you will get shocked. 267 00:21:22,050 --> 00:21:24,300 If you heckle me, you will get shot here. 268 00:21:24,300 --> 00:21:28,649 Is it Arizona state university being invited to. 269 00:21:30,264 --> 00:21:34,524 And obviously this is, you know, people say, well, this is a joke. 270 00:21:34,885 --> 00:21:35,965 Clearly it was a joke. 271 00:21:36,865 --> 00:21:40,855 However, it's, it's not really something that you should joke about. 272 00:21:41,544 --> 00:21:44,305 See if you heckle me, you will get shot. 273 00:21:45,895 --> 00:21:51,685 But this is the, this is the face of the ideology that if you insult 274 00:21:51,685 --> 00:21:56,514 me, if you heckle me, it's not just this ideology in activism, but 275 00:21:56,514 --> 00:21:58,465 it's in many different forms of. 276 00:21:59,835 --> 00:22:04,755 That if you are insulted or heckled or disagreed with, we 277 00:22:04,755 --> 00:22:06,135 will respond with violence. 278 00:22:06,285 --> 00:22:07,005 Why? 279 00:22:07,275 --> 00:22:13,185 Because that creates a level of terror of fear where people don't want 280 00:22:13,485 --> 00:22:18,015 to disagree with that organization because you never can be sure 281 00:22:18,285 --> 00:22:20,505 what sort of backlash will happen. 282 00:22:20,505 --> 00:22:25,575 This is the definition of terrorism beyond the, what it's. 283 00:22:27,180 --> 00:22:30,180 Become to be known as today when we talk about quote-unquote 284 00:22:30,210 --> 00:22:33,060 terrorism, but this is terror. 285 00:22:33,870 --> 00:22:39,230 This doesn't just happen on a governmental level or massive level. 286 00:22:39,250 --> 00:22:40,380 This can happen in homes. 287 00:22:40,590 --> 00:22:44,370 When, when you around someone that you're always walking on eggshells with, 288 00:22:44,370 --> 00:22:47,910 you never know if you say something, if you will get shot, whether that 289 00:22:47,910 --> 00:22:53,010 happens through, uh, an explosion of verbal abuse or whether that happens 290 00:22:53,190 --> 00:22:54,600 through actual physical abuse. 291 00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:02,970 This is individuals creating a level of terror in their surrounding 292 00:23:02,970 --> 00:23:06,000 to control their environment. 293 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,490 And when, when you look at what Mohammed here said, in context, 294 00:23:14,930 --> 00:23:20,570 in context of other things that he said that previous talk Mohammed 295 00:23:20,570 --> 00:23:22,670 though was asked if palace. 296 00:23:25,650 --> 00:23:32,220 As what would happen to Israelis if Palestine took all the land citing what 297 00:23:32,220 --> 00:23:36,990 he says in many Palestinian activists say, which is from the river to the 298 00:23:36,990 --> 00:23:43,860 sea, Palestine will be free, which is truly a call of ethnic cleansing of 299 00:23:44,190 --> 00:23:50,040 Jews out of Palestine and the keynotes. 300 00:23:51,409 --> 00:23:54,649 Who's being paid tens of thousands of dollars by these universities 301 00:23:55,250 --> 00:23:58,070 said, quote, I don't care. 302 00:23:58,490 --> 00:24:01,460 I truly sincerely don't give an F 303 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:11,169 this is, this is the face of activism, which is I do not have 304 00:24:11,260 --> 00:24:13,330 mercy or compassion on anyone. 305 00:24:14,785 --> 00:24:19,885 All I care about is that I get my way and I will get my weight, even if that means 306 00:24:20,335 --> 00:24:27,055 that I need to incite violence and incite fear against those who disagree with me. 307 00:24:27,055 --> 00:24:29,455 If you make fun of me, I'll slap you. 308 00:24:29,935 --> 00:24:33,295 If you insult my beliefs and criticize my worldview, I will 309 00:24:33,295 --> 00:24:35,485 incite violence against you. 310 00:24:35,815 --> 00:24:40,665 I will pass a spirit of terror into people because. 311 00:24:41,685 --> 00:24:45,945 If you walk on eggshells, if you're walking in terror, I will be able to 312 00:24:45,945 --> 00:24:50,264 control the environment and control the situation because you won't 313 00:24:50,264 --> 00:24:51,975 be a force to be reckoned with. 314 00:24:52,035 --> 00:24:55,725 And no one would dare call out my blind spots. 315 00:24:55,815 --> 00:24:59,955 My dark spots, my weak spots, because they would know that they 316 00:25:00,105 --> 00:25:02,535 would have their day of reckoning. 317 00:25:03,645 --> 00:25:05,055 Again, it's not just. 318 00:25:06,614 --> 00:25:09,885 Activism, but we saw this manifest with will Smith. 319 00:25:09,915 --> 00:25:16,364 When he slapped Chris rock, we saw that this week when an ump at a softball game 320 00:25:16,364 --> 00:25:23,264 in America, a female got punched by a mom because the mom didn't like the call. 321 00:25:24,955 --> 00:25:27,205 We saw this with the hubby versus Conor fight. 322 00:25:27,534 --> 00:25:29,965 We saw this with Charlie Hebdo shootings. 323 00:25:31,014 --> 00:25:34,074 We saw this and have seen it recently. 324 00:25:35,385 --> 00:25:38,475 Silence science, follow the science don't question. 325 00:25:38,475 --> 00:25:39,735 The science trust, the science. 326 00:25:39,735 --> 00:25:45,945 We witnessed it with BLM it's pervasive across society. 327 00:25:46,305 --> 00:25:54,465 And this is a quality that some people have become to praise and glorify as, as 328 00:25:54,465 --> 00:25:58,295 being something that alpha males do that. 329 00:25:58,295 --> 00:25:59,715 This is great because alpha male. 330 00:26:00,900 --> 00:26:07,530 Strong men, a warrior class fights for what they believe that those who 331 00:26:07,530 --> 00:26:11,850 retaliate with 10 times force when slap questions or criticized or insulted 332 00:26:13,850 --> 00:26:16,730 is something that we need more of. 333 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,990 And again, it's been through history, we've seen it with the 334 00:26:24,990 --> 00:26:29,280 Catholic church, disappearing people in the 14 hundreds, the U S. 335 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:31,690 Communism China, 336 00:26:35,490 --> 00:26:43,170 Cambodia sending millions to the gulags and ultimately to brick walls in the back. 337 00:26:44,250 --> 00:26:48,660 We've seen it with Twitter and Facebook disappearing people off 338 00:26:48,660 --> 00:26:54,360 of media platforms to make sure that you can't speak the truth. 339 00:26:54,390 --> 00:26:55,260 You can't say. 340 00:26:58,010 --> 00:27:02,090 That eman is a man and woman is a woman and a man can not become a woman 341 00:27:02,510 --> 00:27:04,820 that is now by Twitter's standards. 342 00:27:04,850 --> 00:27:06,410 Considered hate speech. 343 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,690 Now it's been praised is abusive men like Andrew Tate. 344 00:27:13,750 --> 00:27:21,460 Who's a Kickbox boxing fighter and reality TV star from the brother 345 00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:23,740 who got kicked off the show. 346 00:27:25,395 --> 00:27:31,425 Because of beating a woman on the show, this person is now this is 347 00:27:31,425 --> 00:27:39,945 being praised and celebrated for openly talking about how to manipulate 348 00:27:39,945 --> 00:27:43,125 women, how to get women, how to oppress women, how to never apologize. 349 00:27:44,595 --> 00:27:47,595 Even suggesting that women bear responsibility for being. 350 00:27:53,169 --> 00:28:00,520 He's praising, worldviews and ideologies that explicitly and explicitly praising 351 00:28:00,909 --> 00:28:07,030 that they're stripping women of their dignity and that men should have multiple 352 00:28:07,030 --> 00:28:11,290 women that they're able to sleep around with, because this is the biological 353 00:28:11,620 --> 00:28:15,580 alpha male that men should manifest. 354 00:28:19,780 --> 00:28:23,050 I don't think, I don't think people should be become beta males who are 355 00:28:23,050 --> 00:28:28,360 passive, like Ahab, who just sock and don't take action, who don't take 356 00:28:28,360 --> 00:28:31,870 responsibility, who aren't willing to stand up and be strong, but people 357 00:28:31,870 --> 00:28:37,030 should become like omega males, which is omega is the last letter of the Greek. 358 00:28:38,399 --> 00:28:43,110 And it'll make a male is someone who has strength, who has power, 359 00:28:43,260 --> 00:28:48,360 but who has emotional stability and maturity to restrain their power and 360 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:54,800 use gentleness rather than crushing their opposition and omega mail. 361 00:28:54,860 --> 00:29:00,169 As someone who airs for lifts up loves and defends their wife and 362 00:29:00,169 --> 00:29:04,250 their family not seeks to oppress it, to never apologize to the. 363 00:29:07,965 --> 00:29:12,375 And the fact that this is something that's been praised in society on a whole, 364 00:29:12,375 --> 00:29:15,675 whether secular or religious societies. 365 00:29:17,655 --> 00:29:18,315 Unbelievable. 366 00:29:20,155 --> 00:29:25,015 But this is what's being exalted and these are ideologies. 367 00:29:25,195 --> 00:29:30,415 These are red flags and ideologies that should make you stop and say. 368 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,530 Why am I not allowed to ask a question? 369 00:29:34,740 --> 00:29:37,110 Why am I not allowed to criticize? 370 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:42,170 Why am I not allowed to put out to point out blind spots or weak spots, 371 00:29:42,170 --> 00:29:48,330 sport or legitimate criticisms without being then turned and being insulted 372 00:29:49,139 --> 00:29:52,110 or attacked or blocked or canceled? 373 00:29:52,290 --> 00:29:58,330 Why is this why those movements should be. 374 00:30:02,379 --> 00:30:08,649 'cause that those, those all might be examples of power of people who are 375 00:30:08,649 --> 00:30:14,800 powerful and power is very attractive to many it's examples of power, but 376 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,330 it's not an example of meekness. 377 00:30:16,330 --> 00:30:19,929 Meekness is power under control of the sheaving of a sword. 378 00:30:19,929 --> 00:30:24,370 You have the sword, you have the weapon, but you don't need it. 379 00:30:27,295 --> 00:30:31,705 And meekness is the way of truth, not retaliation, revenge, violence, 380 00:30:31,705 --> 00:30:37,375 depravity, and silencing those who disagree with you with threats and terror. 381 00:30:37,975 --> 00:30:42,565 Well, this show is brought to you by viewers and listeners, just like you. 382 00:30:45,995 -->

00:31:41,745 --> 00:31:45,284 Welcome back to Weaver Luma, part of the show where we take ancient wisdom 396 00:31:45,284 --> 00:31:48,495 and we weave it in with our everyday lives so that we can own our future. 397 00:31:48,495 --> 00:31:52,485 And we've our Destiny's today's quote is ancient. 398 00:31:52,514 --> 00:31:57,524 It comes from someone who is ancient, at least, uh, Warren buffet. 399 00:31:58,530 --> 00:32:05,460 The man, the myth, the legend, he said only when you combine sound intellect 400 00:32:05,850 --> 00:32:13,170 with emotional discipline, do you get rational behavior only when you 401 00:32:13,170 --> 00:32:18,390 combine sound intellect with emotional discipline, do you get rational behavior? 402 00:32:20,130 --> 00:32:26,564 What I love about Warren buffet is that he said, Do not invest in any 403 00:32:26,564 --> 00:32:28,754 business that you don't understand. 404 00:32:31,435 --> 00:32:33,774 And that's where I feel. 405 00:32:34,915 --> 00:32:41,665 And I think that as we look into the future and we see that there are 406 00:32:41,665 --> 00:32:48,595 warning signs that there's a coming recession in the globe inflation at 407 00:32:48,595 --> 00:32:50,425 an all time high and we're looking. 408 00:32:52,095 --> 00:32:58,575 How to apply wisdom to our life, to own our future, to create the future 409 00:32:58,575 --> 00:33:00,885 that we want to not be passive. 410 00:33:02,915 --> 00:33:05,045 How do we do that one? 411 00:33:05,195 --> 00:33:12,245 We have to be a part of the proportional world, the world that is physically around 412 00:33:12,245 --> 00:33:19,805 us, not just betting on the, metaverse, not just betting on technology and then. 413 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:25,500 Another way that we must move forward in the times that are coming, whether 414 00:33:25,500 --> 00:33:30,630 it's a global recession or depression or something else, even in good times, 415 00:33:31,950 --> 00:33:40,660 it is, as you said, meeting both sound intellect and emotional discipline. 416 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:49,000 All of it, the examples that we gave on today's show showed people. 417 00:33:49,965 --> 00:33:54,524 Who are not exercising, emotional discipline and restraint. 418 00:33:54,645 --> 00:34:02,575 And therefore we're getting irrational behavior where we see movements 419 00:34:02,695 --> 00:34:04,764 who don't have sound intellect. 420 00:34:05,125 --> 00:34:09,175 And then they're taking that sound intellect or unsound intellect, 421 00:34:09,295 --> 00:34:15,675 like communism, socialism, Marxism to its full extent. 422 00:34:17,950 --> 00:34:20,530 And it becomes something that's very irrational. 423 00:34:20,950 --> 00:34:23,380 It becomes something that's very destructive. 424 00:34:23,740 --> 00:34:29,350 So as we move forward in our lives, we need both of those things. 425 00:34:29,350 --> 00:34:34,090 We need the emotional intelligence intelligence, the emotional 426 00:34:34,090 --> 00:34:39,700 discipline to stay focused, to stay in meekness and kindness. 427 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:46,560 To stay, not as someone who is aggressive, manipulative and controlling casting fear 428 00:34:46,710 --> 00:34:48,629 into the hearts of everyone around us. 429 00:34:48,629 --> 00:34:54,089 But we are someone who brings gentleness and kindness. 430 00:34:54,900 --> 00:35:00,690 And when we are treated with contempt and hatred, instead of responding 431 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,680 with revenge to guest feeder, 432 00:35:07,725 --> 00:35:12,315 And the hearts of everyone around us so that we can control our environment. 433 00:35:12,765 --> 00:35:17,355 Instead we react with gentleness and emotional discipline, and 434 00:35:17,355 --> 00:35:20,745 likewise, we need to think soundly. 435 00:35:20,745 --> 00:35:26,505 We need to be of a sober mind as we move into this years ahead, no 436 00:35:26,505 --> 00:35:31,245 matter what comes even today, we need to have a sound intellect in order 437 00:35:31,845 --> 00:35:34,485 to operate in a rational manner. 438 00:35:35,310 --> 00:35:39,899 In the coming years, because that is how we will really own our futures. 439 00:35:39,899 --> 00:35:47,040 That is how we will weave our destiny through wisdom through wisdom and 440 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,819 wisdom is not just knowledge, but it's knowledge applied in that 441 00:35:50,939 --> 00:35:54,569 application is the emotional discipline. 442 00:35:55,259 --> 00:35:59,520 Well, if you got value out of this and you want to get more value out of it, 443 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:03,270 we ask that you share this show with. 444 00:36:05,700 --> 00:36:06,570 Friends and normally best. 445 00:36:06,570 --> 00:36:09,270 I mean, you can share it with someone who's not your friend, but that 446 00:36:09,270 --> 00:36:14,100 normally that normally comes out sideways, says passive aggressive. 447 00:36:14,100 --> 00:36:17,130 If you're trying to get a point across to someone, who's not your friend 448 00:36:17,370 --> 00:36:20,610 by sending them something that they know that you know, that they're 449 00:36:20,610 --> 00:36:21,930 going to totally disagree with. 450 00:36:21,930 --> 00:36:25,320 So send it to a friend that would appreciate it. 451 00:36:25,410 --> 00:36:28,950 If you appreciate the show, that's one way that you can give back to the show. 452 00:36:30,660 --> 00:36:32,220 That is all for today's episode. 453 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:33,690 Thanks for listening. 454 00:36:33,750 --> 00:36:39,420 I hope that you go out this week

humility. 457 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:52,350 We grow in emotional discipline sound intellect that we would walk 458 00:36:52,740 --> 00:36:54,720 and owner futures with rational.
