1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,360 This week, I've had multiple conversations where people have raised the bar, 2 00:00:03,380 --> 00:00:09,980 the question and asked just who is behind this global coordination. 3 00:00:10,250 --> 00:00:16,100 When it comes to policies regarding lockdowns or vaccine passports, mandatory 4 00:00:16,340 --> 00:00:21,830 fascinations and media censorship, who's, who's really behind it all. 5 00:00:21,830 --> 00:00:25,190 And who stands to profit and unto what? 6 00:00:26,060 --> 00:00:31,070 Ends also in today's episode, we talk about how history never talks. 7 00:00:31,814 --> 00:00:36,765 About quitters, but this isn't history, this is pop culture, 8 00:00:36,765 --> 00:00:39,644 pop culture loves a good quitter. 9 00:00:39,765 --> 00:00:43,754 They love someone who's falling off the map into obscurity and 10 00:00:43,754 --> 00:00:48,105 with their last dying gasp of air, the reach up from the grave and 11 00:00:48,105 --> 00:00:51,435 say, I protest fill in the blank. 12 00:00:51,765 --> 00:00:55,185 But today, instead of focusing only on those who are. 13 00:00:55,650 --> 00:01:00,720 Gasping fender from their last breath, from their graves to protest 14 00:01:00,810 --> 00:01:05,510 something in order for a quick buck, we're going to focus on who 15 00:01:05,660 --> 00:01:07,460 truly deserve to be celebrated. 16 00:01:08,210 --> 00:01:11,539 Hey, it's Lucas Skrobot and you're listening to the Lucas Skrobot show where 17 00:01:11,539 --> 00:01:20,420 we uncover purpose, pursue truth and own the future episode 246 August 4th, 2021. 18 00:01:20,570 --> 00:01:21,050 And I would. 19 00:01:22,020 --> 00:01:25,920 To go through this Olympic season without mentioning the Olympics. 20 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,720 At least once I'll be honest, I've not been watching the Olympics. 21 00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:33,150 I probably would enjoy it. 22 00:01:34,214 --> 00:01:34,785 I don't have time. 23 00:01:34,815 --> 00:01:35,804 Ain't nobody got time for that. 24 00:01:36,104 --> 00:01:40,835 Ain't nobody got time for that, but history doesn't have time for quitters, 25 00:01:40,865 --> 00:01:44,134 but pop media pop culture really does. 26 00:01:44,134 --> 00:01:44,615 Why? 27 00:01:44,854 --> 00:01:49,024 Because a good quitter, a good grand standing protester, they 28 00:01:49,024 --> 00:01:53,255 can steal the limelight, stir up a lot of great controversy. 29 00:01:53,554 --> 00:01:57,755 And we all know that controversy drives clicks, clicks, drive 30 00:01:57,964 --> 00:02:00,634 eyeballs, eyeballs, drive dollars. 31 00:02:01,024 --> 00:02:02,554 And if you are sponsoring. 32 00:02:03,285 --> 00:02:08,565 One of these athletes, you are going to be glad that they stood up and 33 00:02:08,565 --> 00:02:11,085 shouted from the top of their lungs. 34 00:02:12,125 --> 00:02:15,995 Maybe missed the metal standard, barely made the middle stand because 35 00:02:15,995 --> 00:02:23,525 then they get recognition where they would otherwise probably be for golf. 36 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,980 And if they get recognition, then the little boys and little girls across the 37 00:02:28,980 --> 00:02:32,250 world are going to be seen your logo. 38 00:02:32,250 --> 00:02:33,630 So it, it all makes sense. 39 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:43,140 It, there is a lot of incentives to become a, a good protestor for a morally superior 40 00:02:43,290 --> 00:02:45,510 cause take American football player. 41 00:02:46,110 --> 00:02:48,030 For instance, Colin Kaepernick. 42 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,850 He was the second round draft. 43 00:02:51,535 --> 00:02:58,255 36 overall for the San Francisco 49ers back in 2011, he led the 44 00:02:58,255 --> 00:03:00,834 team to Superbowl in Superbowl 47. 45 00:03:01,165 --> 00:03:06,024 That was 2012 and the N F C championship games. 46 00:03:06,114 --> 00:03:13,345 The next season, after that, he started to slip into obscurity 2016, rolled 47 00:03:13,345 --> 00:03:20,274 around and he ends up as a back up quarterback now going from stardom. 48 00:03:21,700 --> 00:03:26,149 To a backup quarterback and that is not a good career path. 49 00:03:26,149 --> 00:03:29,260 That that is it is curtains for you. 50 00:03:29,260 --> 00:03:29,739 Soon. 51 00:03:30,429 --> 00:03:31,780 The limelight is off you. 52 00:03:31,780 --> 00:03:42,549 People are quickly forgetting your name and obscurity is about to pounce upon you. 53 00:03:42,549 --> 00:03:45,220 So what does one do? 54 00:03:45,670 --> 00:03:47,620 Well, they protest the national Anthem. 55 00:03:48,399 --> 00:03:48,820 They take it. 56 00:03:49,935 --> 00:03:53,805 Disrespect their country, their flag, and they protest racism. 57 00:03:54,165 --> 00:03:56,925 And overnight that limelight is back. 58 00:03:57,285 --> 00:04:04,605 He's been able to quit football and go on and probably make more money outside 59 00:04:04,965 --> 00:04:06,795 of football than inside of football. 60 00:04:06,795 --> 00:04:07,035 All. 61 00:04:07,035 --> 00:04:07,455 Why? 62 00:04:07,935 --> 00:04:10,335 Because he decided to protest. 63 00:04:11,550 --> 00:04:17,460 His name got heard and will now be remembered all because he took that 64 00:04:17,460 --> 00:04:22,320 knee or take, for example, when Barry the track and field hammer, 65 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,890 thrower, star, and, uh, starch. 66 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:26,610 She's not the star. 67 00:04:26,610 --> 00:04:32,070 She placed third at the Olympic trials, the us trials, she placed third. 68 00:04:32,070 --> 00:04:37,620 And while she was receiving her masters, The American Anthem was plain. 69 00:04:37,980 --> 00:04:44,280 She turned her back to the flag and put a shirt over her head in protest 70 00:04:44,790 --> 00:04:49,530 against America and the national Anthem stealing the limelight from 71 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,320 the first and second place winners. 72 00:04:53,159 --> 00:04:58,065 And at the same time, Drawing attention to herself. 73 00:04:58,095 --> 00:05:01,515 I mean, if, if she hadn't done that, I don't think anyone. 74 00:05:01,995 --> 00:05:06,375 I mean, I totally forgot that hammer throat was even a thing at the Olympics. 75 00:05:07,215 --> 00:05:10,335 I mean, who, who was going online? 76 00:05:10,335 --> 00:05:12,375 I mean, I'm sure someone is, but who was going online? 77 00:05:12,375 --> 00:05:14,445 Says who placed third? 78 00:05:14,745 --> 00:05:19,145 If the, uh, Olympic trials for hammer throw no one. 79 00:05:20,030 --> 00:05:23,630 We all know that first place gets the lion's share. 80 00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:25,700 If you are not in first place. 81 00:05:27,540 --> 00:05:32,370 You are missing out, um, the majority of the pie, whether that's the New York 82 00:05:32,370 --> 00:05:38,280 times bestseller, whether that's being, uh, uh, billboard hit, whether that's 83 00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:43,440 being whatever, any and anything in life, if you are first, you're getting 84 00:05:43,650 --> 00:05:46,590 the lion's share all those other places. 85 00:05:47,010 --> 00:05:49,410 They really don't mean that much. 86 00:05:49,410 --> 00:05:51,630 So how do you continue to. 87 00:05:52,349 --> 00:05:53,159 Capitalize. 88 00:05:53,219 --> 00:05:59,969 How do you use your platform for a good cause that also enables you and your 89 00:05:59,969 --> 00:06:06,630 name to be remembered and to propagate your, your financial success for 90 00:06:06,719 --> 00:06:13,740 many decades after your 15 minutes of fame, but protesting is the best way. 91 00:06:14,010 --> 00:06:15,539 Well, don't be fooled though. 92 00:06:15,539 --> 00:06:17,370 Not all Americans. 93 00:06:18,255 --> 00:06:19,335 Hate America. 94 00:06:19,755 --> 00:06:24,284 Uh, there are actually some people surprisingly who still love America now, 95 00:06:24,344 --> 00:06:32,565 right now in America, the, the narrative, if you're not in America, I'm sure all of 96 00:06:32,565 --> 00:06:35,054 you know this right now, the narrative. 97 00:06:35,985 --> 00:06:38,265 Is America's bad place. 98 00:06:38,445 --> 00:06:39,245 You don't want to be there. 99 00:06:39,245 --> 00:06:40,805 You don't mind to be proud of your nation. 100 00:06:40,805 --> 00:06:44,465 It's horrible to be proud of your nation. 101 00:06:44,465 --> 00:06:47,105 And especially if you're a person of color, you're pretty much living. 102 00:06:47,105 --> 00:06:50,915 I mean, in a, uh, an institutional slavery still. 103 00:06:51,425 --> 00:06:58,505 Uh, so here's this next clip by camera Mensa stock who won gold, gold metal in 104 00:06:58,505 --> 00:07:02,855 wrestling in Tokyo for the United States. 105 00:07:02,885 --> 00:07:04,685 Here's Tamra. 106 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:11,460 Showing her gratitude and expressing her joy for being able to represent the 107 00:07:11,460 --> 00:07:14,250 horrible wicked United States of America. 108 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,260 I surprised myself and by the grace of God and they will even move my feet. 109 00:07:18,409 --> 00:07:19,909 Like I just leave it in his hands. 110 00:07:19,909 --> 00:07:24,140 And I pray that all the practice that the hell that my freaking coach put me 111 00:07:24,140 --> 00:07:28,130 through pays off and every single time it does and I get better and better. 112 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,739 And it's so weird that there is no cap to the limit. 113 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,680 Pause first notice it's the hard work. 114 00:07:35,220 --> 00:07:36,210 What got her there? 115 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,560 It was her hard work or all the work that she got put through. 116 00:07:41,070 --> 00:07:44,970 That was the thing that enabled her meritocracy. 117 00:07:44,970 --> 00:07:50,490 Something that we are quickly forgetting in this generation hard work pays off. 118 00:07:51,110 --> 00:07:55,190 Um, I'm excited to see what would I have met last question for you? 119 00:07:55,370 --> 00:07:57,800 That American flag around their shoulders looks pretty good. 120 00:07:57,980 --> 00:07:59,600 How does that feel to represent your country? 121 00:08:00,345 --> 00:08:02,205 It feels amazing. 122 00:08:02,775 --> 00:08:04,335 I love representing us. 123 00:08:04,365 --> 00:08:06,255 I freaking love living there. 124 00:08:06,315 --> 00:08:07,005 I love it. 125 00:08:07,155 --> 00:08:08,535 And I'm so happy, I guess. 126 00:08:09,719 --> 00:08:14,909 You as well said, congratulations. 127 00:08:14,909 --> 00:08:17,039 Enjoy that call and we'll see you out there on the podium. 128 00:08:17,039 --> 00:08:17,430 Okay. 129 00:08:18,419 --> 00:08:19,530 I'll try not to cry. 130 00:08:21,859 --> 00:08:22,820 I love this clip. 131 00:08:22,849 --> 00:08:23,180 She is. 132 00:08:23,180 --> 00:08:24,950 So she's rightly should be. 133 00:08:25,190 --> 00:08:25,969 She's so happy. 134 00:08:25,969 --> 00:08:31,970 And I love seeing, I love seeing someone have a patriotic love for their country. 135 00:08:31,970 --> 00:08:33,590 Now it is good. 136 00:08:33,650 --> 00:08:34,490 And it's right. 137 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,360 That you should be able to criticize your country. 138 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,990 You should be able to look at whether it's your country or your 139 00:08:42,990 --> 00:08:45,120 faith or your family or yourself. 140 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,920 And you can see your defects, you see your flaws and you can say those 141 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,730 things here, these things in my own personal life, I missed it here. 142 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:54,090 Mr. 143 00:08:54,090 --> 00:08:55,020 Teer missed it here. 144 00:08:55,170 --> 00:08:56,130 Here's the ideal. 145 00:08:56,130 --> 00:08:57,330 I want to live up to. 146 00:08:57,660 --> 00:09:00,810 I'm going to confess my shortcomings. 147 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:01,530 Look at it. 148 00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:05,250 Not just say that it doesn't exist, but then I'm going to. 149 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,250 Work to live up to a higher ideal. 150 00:09:08,460 --> 00:09:11,940 While at the same time, you can still love your nation. 151 00:09:11,940 --> 00:09:13,710 You can love your nation. 152 00:09:13,710 --> 00:09:16,530 You can love your faith while still being able to criticize it. 153 00:09:16,530 --> 00:09:22,830 You can love your family or your parents or, or yourself, while 154 00:09:22,830 --> 00:09:26,970 still being able to admit that there are areas that we need to work on. 155 00:09:26,970 --> 00:09:27,260 And that goes. 156 00:09:28,305 --> 00:09:32,295 Every country across the globe, but there is something that 157 00:09:32,295 --> 00:09:34,625 if that is good, yeah, right. 158 00:09:34,625 --> 00:09:40,985 About a healthy level of patriotism for whatever nation or culture. 159 00:09:42,150 --> 00:09:48,210 Are from, and I just love seeing that here, especially in a time where people 160 00:09:48,210 --> 00:09:55,170 are taught to not love your nation, to not love your heritage, to not 161 00:09:55,170 --> 00:09:57,620 love your background at the Olympics. 162 00:09:57,650 --> 00:10:00,710 There were two other, I'm sure there's more, but there's 163 00:10:00,710 --> 00:10:02,210 at least two other people. 164 00:10:03,570 --> 00:10:05,340 Who decided to protest. 165 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:12,030 Now, if you remember Gwen Berry who did qualify for the Olympics, she said that 166 00:10:12,060 --> 00:10:16,890 if she had made the metal stand, that she was going to protest, despite the 167 00:10:16,890 --> 00:10:20,450 Olympic, uh, regulations, she did not. 168 00:10:21,150 --> 00:10:22,230 Make the metal stand. 169 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:27,600 So I guess you won't be able to, uh, protest the U S women's soccer team. 170 00:10:28,110 --> 00:10:32,700 If you remember, they took a knee and protested, uh, the 171 00:10:32,700 --> 00:10:35,340 national Anthem before their game. 172 00:10:35,340 --> 00:10:38,880 Well, they're out of the running for a gold medal. 173 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:43,920 They lost to Canada and they also lost to, uh, Sweden, I believe. 174 00:10:44,430 --> 00:10:45,570 And, uh, that was. 175 00:10:46,100 --> 00:10:51,890 Quite laughable, but here's a not so American centric story. 176 00:10:52,370 --> 00:10:57,650 There is a young man named Muhammad Abdul , who is Sudanese. 177 00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:01,400 Now Sudan has said that they were going to move to normalize 178 00:11:01,410 --> 00:11:03,320 relationships with Israel. 179 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:08,930 They have not done so yet, but in protest and in the boycotting 180 00:11:08,990 --> 00:11:12,770 of Israel and re their rejection of the normalization of Israel. 181 00:11:13,685 --> 00:11:18,875 Mohammad decided to not show up for his fight, his judo fight 182 00:11:19,115 --> 00:11:21,365 against an Israeli competitor. 183 00:11:21,724 --> 00:11:29,224 Another competitor of Jurien fatty Norine he decided as well not to 184 00:11:29,285 --> 00:11:34,474 fight against an Israeli competitor in judo, both have been sent home 185 00:11:35,375 --> 00:11:38,824 for breaking the code of sportsmen. 186 00:11:38,854 --> 00:11:39,665 Like currently. 187 00:11:41,630 --> 00:11:45,080 And there's, there's two sides of, of me in this. 188 00:11:46,430 --> 00:11:49,760 The one side is that there could have been. 189 00:11:50,775 --> 00:11:55,484 Probably was, if not an enormous amount of state pressure, because there could 190 00:11:55,484 --> 00:11:59,324 have been state pressure where the government is saying you are not, do 191 00:11:59,324 --> 00:12:04,484 not compete, do not normalize, uh, this relationship with an Israeli competitor 192 00:12:04,785 --> 00:12:08,714 that could have been as this happened in the past, which we're about to 193 00:12:08,714 --> 00:12:12,785 talk about, but there's also probably an enormous amount of pure pressure. 194 00:12:13,865 --> 00:12:16,875 I know people who have decided. 195 00:12:17,685 --> 00:12:26,295 To take very meek stances for, for Israel or meet stances, even 196 00:12:26,295 --> 00:12:28,574 saying, Hey, I don't think the total. 197 00:12:29,385 --> 00:12:33,464 Genocide, which is the call of the, from the river to the sea Israel be free. 198 00:12:33,464 --> 00:12:34,665 I don't think that that's a good idea. 199 00:12:35,135 --> 00:12:40,745 I believe that we can make peace somehow, but many people don't want to make peace. 200 00:12:40,745 --> 00:12:44,795 And so even if you're taking some of those small stances here in the middle 201 00:12:44,795 --> 00:12:48,005 east, you can face a lot of backlash. 202 00:12:48,094 --> 00:12:52,234 Now, now that's not everyone which we will see as well. 203 00:12:52,415 --> 00:12:55,745 And we are beginning to see with the UAE, even normalizing 204 00:12:55,745 --> 00:12:57,064 relationships with Israel. 205 00:12:58,410 --> 00:13:03,030 And, uh, Bahrain, even in the GCC normalizing relationships with Israel. 206 00:13:03,030 --> 00:13:04,320 So this is changing. 207 00:13:04,380 --> 00:13:05,610 It is not everyone. 208 00:13:06,090 --> 00:13:10,290 I hate to paint everyone with a broad stroke, but these two gentlemen 209 00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:15,090 have both said that they are protesting for the sake of Palestine. 210 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:21,060 And if, if it's not just pure pressure and they're doing it against them, 211 00:13:22,574 --> 00:13:26,355 Then I would say, wow, there's probably a tremendous upside for them. 212 00:13:26,355 --> 00:13:27,855 I mean, what are you going to get? 213 00:13:27,855 --> 00:13:29,685 You're going to get fifth, seventh place. 214 00:13:29,685 --> 00:13:32,925 We don't really know what, what places they would have gotten if 215 00:13:32,925 --> 00:13:34,365 they work to continue to compete. 216 00:13:34,365 --> 00:13:39,615 But it was, it was not likely that they're going to be on the metal stand. 217 00:13:39,915 --> 00:13:42,405 So if you're not on the metal stand and you're not first, you're 218 00:13:42,405 --> 00:13:43,454 not getting the lion's share. 219 00:13:43,515 --> 00:13:45,525 It makes sense that you can. 220 00:13:46,574 --> 00:13:48,225 B become a victim. 221 00:13:48,495 --> 00:13:55,334 You can protest something and capitalize on that for years to come. 222 00:13:55,545 --> 00:14:01,245 Not saying that is a hundred percent the case, but it, uh, 223 00:14:01,334 --> 00:14:06,135 it definitely could be well, who should, who should be celebrated? 224 00:14:06,915 --> 00:14:08,115 Who should be remembered? 225 00:14:08,115 --> 00:14:15,584 Well, I think, uh, Iranian Saeed, Mo Malawi, QI in 2019. 226 00:14:16,635 --> 00:14:23,565 Was told by his government that he was not permitted, not allowed to face his 227 00:14:23,565 --> 00:14:26,595 competitor is Israeli competitor in judo. 228 00:14:26,595 --> 00:14:30,585 And if he did, he would face consequences. 229 00:14:30,585 --> 00:14:35,885 Here is Saeed Ambrose. 230 00:14:37,325 --> 00:14:40,475 Well, he says I could have been the world champion today. 231 00:14:41,175 --> 00:14:46,365 Because of the law and my country and the prudence that it requires. 232 00:14:46,575 --> 00:14:50,235 I was obliged not to fight against my Israeli opponent. 233 00:14:50,435 --> 00:14:55,975 I just wrote down as is how it's going to pilot. 234 00:14:56,645 --> 00:15:02,375 This is the law, the national Olympic committee of Iran and the sports 235 00:15:02,375 --> 00:15:05,225 minister told me not to compete. 236 00:15:06,345 --> 00:15:08,045 This is back in 2019. 237 00:15:11,475 --> 00:15:14,385 They rang me and wanted me not to compete. 238 00:15:14,535 --> 00:15:17,175 I asked why they might go for Nigel hall. 239 00:15:17,865 --> 00:15:19,035 He said, this is the law. 240 00:15:19,065 --> 00:15:22,575 And those who do not comply with it will certainly have problems. 241 00:15:25,455 --> 00:15:27,375 I was afraid for myself and my family. 242 00:15:27,405 --> 00:15:28,515 So I did not compete. 243 00:15:28,875 --> 00:15:31,425 I followed the law and I didn't compete. 244 00:15:35,355 --> 00:15:40,425 what he ended up doing was he, he faced his final competitor before. 245 00:15:40,965 --> 00:15:43,815 And if he beat that competitor, he would have ended up having 246 00:15:43,815 --> 00:15:45,555 to face an Israeli competitor. 247 00:15:45,555 --> 00:15:51,555 So he threw the match, he threw the match and he ended up placing third. 248 00:15:51,705 --> 00:15:52,185 I believe. 249 00:15:53,890 --> 00:15:55,540 Or fourth, he didn't, he didn't metal. 250 00:15:55,540 --> 00:15:56,560 Cause he'd be through the match. 251 00:15:56,590 --> 00:16:04,030 He would have placed a third or fourth in this Olympic games 252 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,820 back in 2019, a prelim games. 253 00:16:09,010 --> 00:16:10,900 And he then ended up defecting. 254 00:16:11,595 --> 00:16:18,165 He defected to Germany because he was afraid to go back to Iran because he 255 00:16:18,315 --> 00:16:26,055 called out the Iranian government to force him to not compete well after going 256 00:16:26,055 --> 00:16:28,775 to Egypt and getting an ego, excuse me. 257 00:16:28,775 --> 00:16:33,575 After going to Germany and getting asylum in Germany, he was then able to 258 00:16:33,575 --> 00:16:37,235 join the Moroccan team and he trained. 259 00:16:38,265 --> 00:16:41,205 He actually, he just represented Morocco, not Morocco. 260 00:16:41,355 --> 00:16:41,985 Oh my goodness. 261 00:16:42,285 --> 00:16:43,245 Mongolia. 262 00:16:43,814 --> 00:16:44,595 What am I saying? 263 00:16:44,955 --> 00:16:50,355 He joined the Mongolian team, but he trained with the Israel national 264 00:16:50,385 --> 00:16:52,125 judo team ahead of the Olympics. 265 00:16:52,425 --> 00:16:58,385 And because of the, he dedicated his silver metal to Israel, he said, 266 00:16:58,385 --> 00:17:00,395 thank you, Israel for the good energy. 267 00:17:00,605 --> 00:17:04,474 This metal is dedicated to you, Israel. 268 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:11,880 Now that is true sportsmanship when you're faced with being kicked out because you 269 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:18,719 couldn't face an Israeli counterpart, and then you decided to train with them. 270 00:17:19,230 --> 00:17:24,719 And in your winning, despite the cultural lashback that he could get, he 271 00:17:24,719 --> 00:17:28,440 decides to dedicate a metal to a nation. 272 00:17:30,659 --> 00:17:34,739 That supported him, even when his culture doesn't support that nation 273 00:17:34,980 --> 00:17:42,210 by and large or a political faction, I should say a political faction of, 274 00:17:42,420 --> 00:17:47,370 uh, of the region does not support the existence of an Israeli state. 275 00:17:48,719 --> 00:17:50,219 That takes, that takes courage. 276 00:17:51,690 --> 00:17:58,949 Another, another act of courage was a young Saudi woman to Hanni L Tani. 277 00:18:00,554 --> 00:18:02,054 She is also a judo fighter. 278 00:18:02,324 --> 00:18:07,455 She started fighting from a young agent in college, 20, and when she 279 00:18:07,455 --> 00:18:12,435 had to face an Israeli competitor, she faced an enormous amount of pressure. 280 00:18:12,435 --> 00:18:16,154 They were told don't face this competitor, don't fight, don't normalize. 281 00:18:16,154 --> 00:18:21,944 But as I said, we are seeing a healthy trend in the region of a warming up 282 00:18:21,975 --> 00:18:23,775 and normalization of relationships. 283 00:18:24,344 --> 00:18:26,054 And this example. 284 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:32,300 A Saudi competitor fighting against an Israeli competitor is one of those signs. 285 00:18:32,660 --> 00:18:38,000 And she decided to fight, even though she lost 11 points to zero. 286 00:18:39,270 --> 00:18:42,389 That I believe is a true sign of sportsmanship. 287 00:18:42,659 --> 00:18:46,980 There could have been a tremendous upside by withdrawing, especially 288 00:18:46,980 --> 00:18:49,889 if she knew that she was facing someone who is better than her. 289 00:18:49,889 --> 00:18:56,850 So why face the humiliation of a hard loss by commend to honey Invus? 290 00:18:57,029 --> 00:19:01,799 I think that is such a honorable thing to do, especially in the 291 00:19:01,799 --> 00:19:06,779 face of so much criticism in the face of possibly being canceled. 292 00:19:07,799 --> 00:19:13,679 Uh, by friends and family and, and probably receiving a whole lot of hate 293 00:19:13,980 --> 00:19:19,799 on social media, but the Olympics is a place that we can come together and unify 294 00:19:20,069 --> 00:19:22,830 as a world to look each other in the eye. 295 00:19:23,429 --> 00:19:28,589 And not have to see our ethnicities, but we can celebrate our nationalities. 296 00:19:28,679 --> 00:19:32,969 We can celebrate our different cultures while at the same time, remembering and 297 00:19:32,969 --> 00:19:35,790 accepting that we are all one white race. 298 00:19:36,239 --> 00:19:37,920 There's not multiple races. 299 00:19:38,460 --> 00:19:40,350 There is the human race. 300 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,409 And that I think is something that's beautiful, even though 301 00:19:43,409 --> 00:19:44,730 that might be being lost. 302 00:19:46,290 --> 00:19:53,100 Currently in this, in this cultural moment of, of what seems to be real 303 00:19:53,310 --> 00:20:00,080 divisive NIS in culture, across the globe, when it comes to, uh, ethnicities, 304 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,400 when it comes to nationality or comes to the color of people's skin as are 305 00:20:04,670 --> 00:20:08,840 the lens that is being put on societies, continuing to push towards one. 306 00:20:09,764 --> 00:20:12,945 Of power rather than one of meritocracy. 307 00:20:13,335 --> 00:20:18,014 Well, other weird things are happening this week across the globe. 308 00:20:18,045 --> 00:20:24,645 As I said, people are asking who is, who is driving all of these agendas 309 00:20:24,645 --> 00:20:30,554 when it comes to the globalization and the harmonization across multiple 310 00:20:30,585 --> 00:20:35,324 many nations when it comes to the response of COVID 19, even though. 311 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,690 There's a lot of conflicting data. 312 00:20:38,929 --> 00:20:42,739 There is other science and studies that are put out there when it's 313 00:20:42,830 --> 00:20:51,049 put out there, or people talk about studies that go against the. 314 00:20:51,989 --> 00:20:58,500 The the political norm or goes against the, the agenda that is being pushed 315 00:20:58,500 --> 00:21:03,540 when it comes to vaccine passports, uh, efficacies of vaccines or the 316 00:21:03,540 --> 00:21:05,370 efficacy of lockdowns or masks. 317 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,750 If you push against that, you're being silenced now. 318 00:21:11,745 --> 00:21:14,534 I it's not about the segment right here. 319 00:21:14,534 --> 00:21:18,315 It's not about whether you agree or disagree with a vaccine or 320 00:21:18,315 --> 00:21:22,125 whether you agree or disagree with the efficacy of lockdowns or 321 00:21:22,125 --> 00:21:25,245 mass in as much as why is it that. 322 00:21:26,235 --> 00:21:33,075 There is such a sensorial ship and a label labeling of misinformation along 323 00:21:33,075 --> 00:21:37,905 things that not is misinformation, but when it goes against the information that 324 00:21:37,905 --> 00:21:43,275 has been decided that this is the norms, this is the path that we are taking in. 325 00:21:43,275 --> 00:21:48,285 Anything that might question this mode of operation is going 326 00:21:48,285 --> 00:21:50,595 to be labeled in silenced. 327 00:21:50,835 --> 00:21:53,255 It's going to be labeled as misinformation in silence. 328 00:21:53,265 --> 00:21:55,065 Well, sky news, Australia. 329 00:21:55,980 --> 00:22:04,109 Sky news is not just a rando, you know, Brando quote unquote fake news source. 330 00:22:04,830 --> 00:22:05,850 That's making stuff up. 331 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,009 It's an, it's an actual news source. 332 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,600 Well, they were, they were suspended from YouTube this week 333 00:22:12,630 --> 00:22:19,109 because they were quoting studies out of Harvard and out of Oxford. 334 00:22:19,109 --> 00:22:22,259 Here is Alan Jones from Fox news Australia. 335 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,320 As you know, we've been shut down on YouTube. 336 00:22:25,650 --> 00:22:29,070 I'm not going to make any comment or any judgements about that, except to say this, 337 00:22:29,639 --> 00:22:31,740 the challenge to free speech is real. 338 00:22:32,190 --> 00:22:34,469 We don't seem to have a leader anywhere to defend it. 339 00:22:35,190 --> 00:22:37,110 You won't be canceled if you're on the left. 340 00:22:37,740 --> 00:22:42,000 If you're on the common sense center, a right look out there after you believe me. 341 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,960 I know those of you who are regular viewers will know that 342 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,170 whether it's Chris, Kenny, Peter Credlin Andrew bolt, Rita Penner. 343 00:22:49,170 --> 00:22:50,250 Hi, Paul, Mario Corey. 344 00:22:51,179 --> 00:22:52,710 How material is researched. 345 00:22:53,070 --> 00:22:57,389 The only thing is you're apparently not allowed to quote experts from Oxford, 346 00:22:57,540 --> 00:23:02,400 Stanford, Harvard, or Yale universities who disagree with some of the rubbish. 347 00:23:04,159 --> 00:23:06,199 And that to me is, is shocking. 348 00:23:07,100 --> 00:23:10,880 You're not able to, you're not able to quote, research. 349 00:23:12,315 --> 00:23:17,835 From established universities, established hubs of well respected 350 00:23:18,074 --> 00:23:24,135 hubs of research like Oxford or Harvard, if it goes against the agenda. 351 00:23:24,915 --> 00:23:28,185 And this is why people are raising questions, this is why people are alarmed. 352 00:23:28,995 --> 00:23:29,955 It's not so much that. 353 00:23:31,514 --> 00:23:35,594 I'm anti, you know, quote unquote, I don't like this because I'm anti vascular. 354 00:23:35,594 --> 00:23:37,634 I don't like this because you know, I'm on her. 355 00:23:37,964 --> 00:23:38,864 It's not about that. 356 00:23:38,895 --> 00:23:41,625 It's not about the, the vaccine or not the vaccine. 357 00:23:41,654 --> 00:23:45,525 It's about why are we not able. 358 00:23:46,755 --> 00:23:51,525 To have free and open dialogue and communication around 359 00:23:51,525 --> 00:23:52,845 this, on these platforms. 360 00:23:52,995 --> 00:23:58,725 Why are these platforms censoring this, but not censoring, other 361 00:23:58,725 --> 00:24:00,764 things that is also clearly. 362 00:24:01,460 --> 00:24:07,489 Clearly actually MIS information like the president of the United States. 363 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,139 Remember I showed you here, Joe Biden telling a town hall audience 364 00:24:11,139 --> 00:24:14,920 that if you're vaccinated, you won't get Corona virus. 365 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:15,759 That's not correct. 366 00:24:16,090 --> 00:24:17,020 Was he fact checked? 367 00:24:18,705 --> 00:24:23,565 The vibe, the, the, the various shots that people are getting now 368 00:24:23,775 --> 00:24:26,145 cover that there there's you're okay. 369 00:24:26,145 --> 00:24:30,315 You're not gonna, you're not gonna get COVID if you have these vaccinations. 370 00:24:30,345 --> 00:24:30,525 Yeah. 371 00:24:31,905 --> 00:24:33,585 As old around the world and he's wrong. 372 00:24:35,025 --> 00:24:36,375 And, and you strong. 373 00:24:36,455 --> 00:24:37,965 Why is that being fact checked? 374 00:24:38,264 --> 00:24:41,295 Is that being taken off of social media? 375 00:24:41,295 --> 00:24:44,025 Is that being flagged on YouTube? 376 00:24:44,384 --> 00:24:47,594 There's the white house being suspended or on, on YouTube for 377 00:24:47,594 --> 00:24:50,625 that clip doesn't seem like it. 378 00:24:52,094 --> 00:24:58,335 Now, Israel, they have reinstated that even if you are fully vaccinated, 379 00:24:58,995 --> 00:25:05,114 even if you were fully vaccinated, Come to Israel, you still have to 380 00:25:05,114 --> 00:25:07,335 do a mandatory eight day quarantine. 381 00:25:07,784 --> 00:25:12,074 What does that tell you about these government's actual belief 382 00:25:12,315 --> 00:25:18,375 of the, the efficacy of these vaccines in their ability to stop 383 00:25:18,705 --> 00:25:20,145 people from spreading the virus? 384 00:25:20,145 --> 00:25:22,094 Maybe, maybe you're not going to get it. 385 00:25:23,465 --> 00:25:27,514 As much maybe, or have a higher chance of getting it. 386 00:25:27,554 --> 00:25:34,565 Maybe your CA will actually be less, but the CDC came out with the leach study. 387 00:25:34,835 --> 00:25:40,435 It came out and said, it said that, well, people who are, are vaccinated 388 00:25:40,615 --> 00:25:44,365 have the same viral load as people who aren't vaccinated and are 389 00:25:44,365 --> 00:25:45,925 able to spread it just as easily. 390 00:25:45,925 --> 00:25:50,850 And now we're seeing nations taking that into account and saying, well, Be 391 00:25:50,850 --> 00:25:54,270 fully vaccinated, come over, still have the virus and still be spreading it. 392 00:25:54,270 --> 00:25:56,780 Therefore you need to lock down. 393 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,980 I have a French you're in the middle east, him and I were talking and he 394 00:26:00,980 --> 00:26:08,000 said all of his friends, all of his friends who got vaccinated after they 395 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,910 got vaccinated, they got COVID all of it. 396 00:26:10,940 --> 00:26:13,370 Now that might be antidotal data. 397 00:26:13,850 --> 00:26:15,680 That's not a double blind study. 398 00:26:17,069 --> 00:26:21,810 But it is, it, it does make one say, wait a minute. 399 00:26:22,469 --> 00:26:27,299 I thought that a vaccine was so that you wouldn't be able to get this. 400 00:26:28,500 --> 00:26:33,989 Of course that the MRNs vaccines, the way that they work is different 401 00:26:33,989 --> 00:26:37,650 than a traditional vaccine, many would say that it's not even a 402 00:26:37,650 --> 00:26:43,590 vaccine and the, the arguments on the pro vaccine side that I've heard. 403 00:26:43,980 --> 00:26:47,190 I'm sure you've heard as well, is that well, you won't get it as 404 00:26:47,190 --> 00:26:50,219 bad or your chances are reduced. 405 00:26:50,219 --> 00:26:52,440 It's not a hundred percent effective. 406 00:26:54,449 --> 00:26:55,889 Well, the, the steps that. 407 00:26:57,659 --> 00:27:01,710 Australia is taking is very different than a place. 408 00:27:01,710 --> 00:27:05,310 Maybe like Singapore, Singapore has said, we, we have come to 409 00:27:05,310 --> 00:27:10,679 accept the reality that we now live in, which is that COVID-19 is 410 00:27:10,710 --> 00:27:13,110 going to be a part of our world. 411 00:27:13,110 --> 00:27:15,889 Just like the flu, who is a part of our world. 412 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,070 We're not locking down borders because of the flu. 413 00:27:20,730 --> 00:27:23,100 So we're not going to lock everything down. 414 00:27:23,100 --> 00:27:27,449 We're not going to kill our economy because of COVID they have accepted, 415 00:27:27,449 --> 00:27:31,290 we are never going to get to COVID zero, but there are places like in 416 00:27:31,290 --> 00:27:33,989 Australia where that is the goal. 417 00:27:33,989 --> 00:27:37,170 COVID zero is the ultimate goal. 418 00:27:37,259 --> 00:27:41,520 Here is, uh, uh, reports from what is happening right now, down under. 419 00:27:42,095 --> 00:27:46,835 The Australian army will take to Sydney streets, assisting police in locking 420 00:27:46,835 --> 00:27:52,115 down 2 million residents in COVID hotspots suburbs, the police commissioner 421 00:27:52,115 --> 00:27:56,315 calling the prime minister for help after Sidney's worst single day, since 422 00:27:56,315 --> 00:28:02,915 the pandemic began 239 infections were recorded, at least 66 were infectious 423 00:28:02,915 --> 00:28:05,105 in the community and tragically. 424 00:28:05,135 --> 00:28:07,534 There were two more deaths, as I said. 425 00:28:08,895 --> 00:28:15,764 Th th the number 200, some odd cases doesn't seem like a whole lot to me 426 00:28:15,764 --> 00:28:19,695 in a metropolitan city like Sydney. 427 00:28:20,534 --> 00:28:24,585 But when you're, when your mindset is, we must get to zero 428 00:28:24,585 --> 00:28:27,345 cases, that is a goal zero cases. 429 00:28:27,495 --> 00:28:30,705 Then it would make sense that if there are any sorts of 430 00:28:30,705 --> 00:28:32,625 rising cases, you are going to. 431 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,159 Shut everything down. 432 00:28:35,159 --> 00:28:37,080 You're going to deploy the military. 433 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:44,550 You're going to more or less establish martial law in your democratic state. 434 00:28:45,449 --> 00:28:52,219 To control this because your goal is your goal is COVID zero and your, 435 00:28:52,219 --> 00:28:54,690 your methodology is authoritarianism. 436 00:28:55,130 --> 00:28:58,759 The premiere announcing a crack down on those, spreading the virus by doing 437 00:28:58,759 --> 00:29:03,830 the wrong thing with fines, beefed up for not wearing masks and even stricter 438 00:29:03,830 --> 00:29:06,259 rules in the eight hotspot council area. 439 00:29:07,980 --> 00:29:09,659 At Liverpool train station, 440 00:29:12,750 --> 00:29:16,739 police make their presence fill to thousands. 441 00:29:16,739 --> 00:29:21,690 More officers deployed in the Southwest in Campbelltown and in Bankstown. 442 00:29:21,870 --> 00:29:23,489 And you COVID crack down. 443 00:29:23,550 --> 00:29:27,020 We are seeing noncompliance at a level that's impacting on the virus. 444 00:29:27,050 --> 00:29:29,360 The commissioner enlisting the army for support. 445 00:29:29,830 --> 00:29:30,940 If we had to use them. 446 00:29:30,970 --> 00:29:31,540 Absolutely. 447 00:29:31,540 --> 00:29:36,460 I would call out formally requesting 300 troops late this afternoon in Melbourne. 448 00:29:36,460 --> 00:29:40,870 They were used at checkpoints, patrolled streets and Dawn, our tomes. 449 00:29:40,900 --> 00:29:42,250 They assisted with compliance. 450 00:29:42,989 --> 00:29:47,370 They actually provided confident for midnight residents in all areas of 451 00:29:47,370 --> 00:29:53,580 concern can only travel five kilometers from home and must wear masks outdoors. 452 00:29:53,610 --> 00:29:57,239 One of the biggest problems people visiting other households 453 00:29:57,389 --> 00:30:01,489 offices will come knocking random, but certainly targeted from 454 00:30:01,489 --> 00:30:03,110 compliance through Crimestoppers. 455 00:30:03,110 --> 00:30:05,179 We are now getting tens of thousands of people. 456 00:30:05,850 --> 00:30:10,500 Reporting breaches through Crimestoppers across all of Sydney police have 457 00:30:10,500 --> 00:30:15,630 new powers to shut down businesses, construction sites and public spaces 458 00:30:15,810 --> 00:30:17,159 where there's a risk to public. 459 00:30:18,110 --> 00:30:20,030 We wonder, well, how could this possible? 460 00:30:20,060 --> 00:30:21,440 How could this possibly happen? 461 00:30:21,679 --> 00:30:27,650 How could a democratic society be totally okay with, with their, 462 00:30:27,679 --> 00:30:28,909 their society being shut down? 463 00:30:30,045 --> 00:30:34,034 With their businesses, being able to be shut down by police with martial 464 00:30:34,034 --> 00:30:37,694 law in a city when there is 200 cases. 465 00:30:38,685 --> 00:30:41,475 How was, how was society okay. 466 00:30:41,475 --> 00:30:41,804 With that? 467 00:30:41,835 --> 00:30:44,714 How, how, why aren't people standing up and saying something? 468 00:30:44,714 --> 00:30:48,165 Well, one people are standing up and saying something there have 469 00:30:48,165 --> 00:30:54,464 been protests, uh, across whether it's the UK or France or Greece in 470 00:30:54,464 --> 00:30:57,764 Italy, uh, protests across Australia. 471 00:30:57,764 --> 00:31:01,424 I believe a hundred were arrested over this last week in protests 472 00:31:01,424 --> 00:31:04,154 against these lockdowns in Australia. 473 00:31:04,784 --> 00:31:08,175 But if you notice in this case, They're seeing 10 tens of thousands 474 00:31:08,175 --> 00:31:12,745 of people are calling in and reporting on their neighbor seeing hello? 475 00:31:12,745 --> 00:31:13,435 Hello, Mr. 476 00:31:13,435 --> 00:31:14,495 Lomas softwares are. 477 00:31:14,525 --> 00:31:15,995 Yes, my neighbor. 478 00:31:16,535 --> 00:31:21,335 They have some people over there having a Barbie, you know, go over and arrest them. 479 00:31:21,665 --> 00:31:23,855 Give them a fine, this is how it's happening. 480 00:31:23,975 --> 00:31:24,455 It's it. 481 00:31:24,475 --> 00:31:30,635 Society is accepting it and embracing it and letting it go forward. 482 00:31:32,105 --> 00:31:33,905 So who is who's behind it? 483 00:31:35,025 --> 00:31:42,074 Well in many ways, and this is the least, um, conspiratorial thing. 484 00:31:42,525 --> 00:31:46,185 It's the general public, because people are afraid. 485 00:31:46,965 --> 00:31:50,264 People are afraid and we're listening to the media. 486 00:31:50,295 --> 00:31:52,245 The media is telling us what to think. 487 00:31:52,455 --> 00:31:55,094 And so we're going along with it and we don't have time. 488 00:31:55,364 --> 00:32:01,995 We don't have time to think about what other course of action there might be. 489 00:32:03,075 --> 00:32:07,365 And this is what we talked about in the previous episode in episode 245, where 490 00:32:07,365 --> 00:32:13,275 when there are, are viral infections and infectious diseases, people tend to become 491 00:32:13,305 --> 00:32:15,665 more conservative, stay in their house. 492 00:32:15,665 --> 00:32:19,145 They stay close to the social circle, want more walls. 493 00:32:19,145 --> 00:32:23,135 They want more restrictions on society because we are afraid 494 00:32:23,135 --> 00:32:25,505 and we want to self preserve. 495 00:32:25,865 --> 00:32:27,905 That is the non conspiratorial. 496 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:29,900 Viewpoint on this. 497 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:37,190 Well, this week also a leading, uh, advisor for the Biden 498 00:32:37,460 --> 00:32:43,220 administration, the top Biden COVID administration on CNN regarding mass. 499 00:32:43,250 --> 00:32:46,460 Now remember in Australia right now, if you're not married wearing 500 00:32:46,490 --> 00:32:52,340 a mask outdoors, vaccinated or unvaccinated, it's a $500 fine, 501 00:32:52,340 --> 00:32:57,770 but this is what the, the Biden administration is saying about masks. 502 00:32:58,615 --> 00:33:01,845 You know, today that many of the face cloth coverings that people wear are not 503 00:33:01,845 --> 00:33:06,195 very effective in reducing any of the virus movement in or out either you're 504 00:33:06,195 --> 00:33:07,725 breathing out or you're breathing in. 505 00:33:07,965 --> 00:33:10,575 And in fact, if you're in the upper, mid west right now, anybody who's 506 00:33:10,575 --> 00:33:13,635 wearing their face cloth covering can tell you they can smell all 507 00:33:13,635 --> 00:33:15,135 the smoke that we're still getting. 508 00:33:15,465 --> 00:33:18,014 We need to talk about better masking we needed. 509 00:33:18,284 --> 00:33:18,764 Well, there it is. 510 00:33:19,855 --> 00:33:24,735 I thought people have been saying this for months, months, and months and months, 511 00:33:25,005 --> 00:33:26,295 we've been seeing like, wait a minute. 512 00:33:27,125 --> 00:33:32,225 It's if you wear your mask properly or you're wearing an N 95 mask, 513 00:33:32,255 --> 00:33:34,025 then yes, that is going to help you. 514 00:33:34,025 --> 00:33:36,245 But the moment that you touch it, you fiddle with it. 515 00:33:36,365 --> 00:33:39,514 You move it off your nose, you pull it over your face or you 516 00:33:39,514 --> 00:33:42,545 reuse a mask or you touch your mask and then touch something else. 517 00:33:42,815 --> 00:33:44,764 It is no longer effective. 518 00:33:45,005 --> 00:33:45,935 We've been saying that. 519 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,909 I've been saying this so many other people have been saying this. 520 00:33:48,909 --> 00:33:50,800 And I think in many ways we all know it. 521 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:56,500 We all know that unless you're hacking up a storm, if, if you're 522 00:33:56,710 --> 00:33:59,949 somewhere and you're coughing, coughing, coughing, and you're, your 523 00:33:59,949 --> 00:34:02,290 spirit is going everywhere then. 524 00:34:02,290 --> 00:34:02,889 Sure. 525 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,820 It's probably a mass is gonna help a little bit, but the moment you 526 00:34:06,820 --> 00:34:08,200 touch it and then touch the surface. 527 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:09,880 Well, now it stops helping. 528 00:34:10,725 --> 00:34:15,255 And we can, we see the steam going up and fogging up my glasses. 529 00:34:15,255 --> 00:34:19,995 Every time I breathe wearing one of these masks, we, we, we, we are 530 00:34:19,995 --> 00:34:24,285 intelligent enough to know that that steam is going into the air and going 531 00:34:24,285 --> 00:34:27,795 around someone else's mask and into their mouth and into their lungs. 532 00:34:29,510 --> 00:34:32,420 And then finally here, here's the truth. 533 00:34:33,380 --> 00:34:35,300 The masking that we have, it's not enough. 534 00:34:35,330 --> 00:34:37,970 It's not doing anything to homemade cloth mass. 535 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,050 They're not doing anything. 536 00:34:39,050 --> 00:34:46,070 So either we can stop playing the charade and do away with the mask, or we're going 537 00:34:46,070 --> 00:34:50,150 to need like actual heavy duty mask, which I certainly don't want on my face. 538 00:34:50,180 --> 00:34:52,370 I don't like the little cloth ones as it is. 539 00:34:53,565 --> 00:35:00,195 But if at least let's be consistent, like at least let's be consistent. 540 00:35:00,645 --> 00:35:04,005 So who has what to gain, who is behind all this one? 541 00:35:04,095 --> 00:35:11,445 I mean, clearly I don't know if, uh, I did know I would be, um, I would not be, 542 00:35:11,475 --> 00:35:16,275 I would be a much more popular person and probably in the throws of those 543 00:35:16,275 --> 00:35:19,605 powerful, powerful people in society. 544 00:35:19,605 --> 00:35:20,655 I don't know for sure. 545 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,970 Who controls everything. 546 00:35:23,180 --> 00:35:28,070 I definitely believe that there are dark spiritual forces that 547 00:35:28,190 --> 00:35:35,660 are pushing these ideologies and empowering these ideologies, these 548 00:35:35,660 --> 00:35:40,580 ideas of controlling society, these ideas of author authoritarian, uh, 549 00:35:40,580 --> 00:35:43,760 draconian laws and control on people. 550 00:35:44,924 --> 00:35:51,345 Uh, just, just the, the psychological toll that is happening across the globe when 551 00:35:51,345 --> 00:35:56,235 it comes to the mental health of people from these isolations and lockdowns, 552 00:35:56,265 --> 00:36:01,065 as we have talked about in the previous episode as well, uh, it it's shocking. 553 00:36:01,755 --> 00:36:05,595 I saw one stat that said there's been, or five times. 554 00:36:07,390 --> 00:36:11,590 More suicides among children fan death from COVID from these. 555 00:36:12,550 --> 00:36:17,620 And so the mental toll that is, is having it's dark. 556 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:19,090 It's definitely dark. 557 00:36:19,720 --> 00:36:21,610 Uh, so there's, there's that side. 558 00:36:21,610 --> 00:36:24,940 I definitely believe there is a spiritual aspect at play. 559 00:36:25,450 --> 00:36:26,850 The ideas that are probably. 560 00:36:27,900 --> 00:36:29,130 Conspiratorial. 561 00:36:29,370 --> 00:36:33,150 And I, even though a lot of people could say, I'm pretty conspiratorial. 562 00:36:33,150 --> 00:36:36,600 I do my best to stay away from conspiracies. 563 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,620 I don't think conspiracies are always very helpful, but here's something 564 00:36:40,620 --> 00:36:45,210 that I found was very interesting there when it comes to who's controlling 565 00:36:45,210 --> 00:36:46,830 everything who stands to benefit. 566 00:36:47,130 --> 00:36:54,900 Well, there are four major companies that own most of the world's businesses. 567 00:36:56,385 --> 00:37:00,885 The shareholders of banks like bank of America, JP Morgan, Citi 568 00:37:00,885 --> 00:37:05,955 group, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs Morgan Stanley, uh, that bank of N 569 00:37:05,955 --> 00:37:13,365 Y Mellon, the majority shareholders all share these four corporations. 570 00:37:13,365 --> 00:37:19,695 These core four, uh, companies, first, one being state street corporation. 571 00:37:19,965 --> 00:37:23,865 Second Vanguard group third, BlackRock fourth fidelity. 572 00:37:26,295 --> 00:37:35,025 These four huge corporations have a controlling majority in most 573 00:37:35,025 --> 00:37:37,155 of the world's biggest banks. 574 00:37:38,625 --> 00:37:42,525 They also control many banks in Europe. 575 00:37:44,485 --> 00:37:49,615 They also have tax dealings and tax havens in the Cayman, islands, Monaco, et cetera. 576 00:37:51,375 --> 00:37:57,015 What's even more shocking is that the us federal reserve is comprised of 12 577 00:37:57,015 --> 00:38:00,195 banks represented by seven board members. 578 00:38:00,465 --> 00:38:05,055 Some of whom are representative of these big four groups. 579 00:38:05,835 --> 00:38:09,585 So in other words, state street corporation, Vanguard group block, 580 00:38:09,645 --> 00:38:16,275 BlackRock, and fidelity, or F M R have a controlling influence on at least 581 00:38:16,275 --> 00:38:18,375 the us monetary policy and system. 582 00:38:19,710 --> 00:38:27,750 Not to mention that these big four have controlling shares or have a lot of power. 583 00:38:28,965 --> 00:38:35,174 In companies like 18 T Boeing, caterpillar Coca-Cola DuPont ExxonMobil, 584 00:38:35,174 --> 00:38:40,995 general electrics, general motors, HP home Depot, Honeywell, international 585 00:38:41,025 --> 00:38:47,295 Intel, IBM Johnson and Johnson, JP Morgan McDonald's Merrick, Microsoft 586 00:38:47,295 --> 00:38:49,634 3m, Pfizer, Proctor and gamble. 587 00:38:50,370 --> 00:38:56,880 United technology, Verizon communications, Walmart time, Warner Disney, Viacom, 588 00:38:57,060 --> 00:39:04,470 Rupert Murdoch's news corporation, CBS corporation, NBC universal notice. 589 00:39:04,770 --> 00:39:11,250 These four groups have controlling shares and a lot of incentive when it 590 00:39:11,250 --> 00:39:17,880 comes to the, these vaccine creators like Pfizer Johnson and Johnson. 591 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:23,280 And they're also controlling media groups. 592 00:39:25,270 --> 00:39:27,580 So who, who stands to gain? 593 00:39:27,580 --> 00:39:29,200 What, what, what is there to gain? 594 00:39:29,590 --> 00:39:35,080 Well, I think of course money is always a driving incentive, but we 595 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,530 also know that these people have more money than they can dream of. 596 00:39:40,270 --> 00:39:41,700 I think the more attractive thing. 597 00:39:42,945 --> 00:39:45,045 People have always sought after his power. 598 00:39:46,005 --> 00:39:48,585 Look at Alexander at the great, you looked at Octavian. 599 00:39:48,585 --> 00:39:56,265 You look at Kingus Khan, uh, all of these great men, Julius Caesar, who, who saw to 600 00:39:56,295 --> 00:40:00,045 conquer the world, they were after power. 601 00:40:00,075 --> 00:40:00,855 It wasn't money. 602 00:40:00,855 --> 00:40:01,785 It wasn't riches. 603 00:40:01,815 --> 00:40:02,685 It was power. 604 00:40:02,925 --> 00:40:04,155 It was control. 605 00:40:04,335 --> 00:40:08,595 If you can control the world, you can, in many ways become God-like. 606 00:40:09,675 --> 00:40:14,295 And currently today, As we've talked about, there is 607 00:40:14,325 --> 00:40:16,215 a push from libertarianism. 608 00:40:17,655 --> 00:40:23,645 Or a Liberty worldview or mindset, and it it's still use, 609 00:40:23,685 --> 00:40:25,085 liberals are still being used. 610 00:40:25,085 --> 00:40:29,525 It's being conflated with this, but it's been, it's turning into progressivism. 611 00:40:29,525 --> 00:40:32,165 As we talked about in the previous episode, it's progressive 612 00:40:32,165 --> 00:40:37,985 as an and progressivism says everything is, should be created. 613 00:40:38,285 --> 00:40:42,245 We need to orchestrate and level society so that we have equality of 614 00:40:42,275 --> 00:40:44,795 outcome and progressivism is no longer. 615 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:52,600 Built on the premises and the ideologies of, of Liberty or liberalism, but it's 616 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:59,410 based on the idea of social construction, where there's an equality of outcome and 617 00:40:59,410 --> 00:41:02,170 it's only the best, the brightest minds. 618 00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:03,250 They are the ones. 619 00:41:04,510 --> 00:41:09,280 We're able to control all of society and make sure that everyone 620 00:41:09,430 --> 00:41:12,130 has that equality of outcome. 621 00:41:13,740 --> 00:41:14,160 Yeah. 622 00:41:14,220 --> 00:41:15,300 That makes sense. 623 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:15,720 Yeah. 624 00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:16,920 Makes sense. 625 00:41:16,950 --> 00:41:21,300 In a post-truth society where we have exchanged the truth for lies and 626 00:41:21,300 --> 00:41:26,940 reasons for post modern irrationality, the absurd finally makes sense. 627 00:41:27,985 --> 00:41:35,305 It came out from, uh, from the Louis silken law firm that ethical 628 00:41:35,335 --> 00:41:41,815 veganism was ruled to be a protected characteristic at the tribunal last year. 629 00:41:41,845 --> 00:41:44,245 Meaning that employers would. 630 00:41:45,510 --> 00:41:51,930 At risk legally, if they ordered their staff to become vaccinated, the report 631 00:41:52,230 --> 00:41:58,650 says that some ethical vegans may disagree with the vaccinations on the basis 632 00:41:58,650 --> 00:42:01,800 that they will inevitably been tested. 633 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:07,740 On animals, ethical veganism has previously been found by the 634 00:42:07,740 --> 00:42:14,010 employment tripe PRI boon in the UK to Mount to a belief capable of being 635 00:42:14,010 --> 00:42:20,520 protected, says a spoken spokes person spokesman for Louis silken law firm. 636 00:42:20,970 --> 00:42:24,950 Although COVID-19 vaccines don't contain anything drived from, 637 00:42:25,460 --> 00:42:26,960 they were tested on animals. 638 00:42:27,830 --> 00:42:28,100 So. 639 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:33,550 And whether this not pans out to be true, it's hilarious, nonetheless, 640 00:42:33,550 --> 00:42:41,110 because those people who are claiming religious reasons for resisting a 641 00:42:41,140 --> 00:42:43,420 vaccine, they're being told too bad. 642 00:42:43,810 --> 00:42:46,090 It doesn't matter what your, your reasons are. 643 00:42:47,205 --> 00:42:50,955 We have the ability to force us and mandate this on you. 644 00:42:50,955 --> 00:42:55,085 At least everything that I've been seeing so far, there's a lawsuit recently by 645 00:42:55,085 --> 00:43:00,065 university in America, where as it's going up the court system, they've 646 00:43:00,095 --> 00:43:06,545 said that the universities have a legal right to mandate, uh, vaccinations 647 00:43:06,545 --> 00:43:08,195 for all their students and faculty. 648 00:43:09,185 --> 00:43:11,495 People are pursuing that in a court of law. 649 00:43:11,495 --> 00:43:13,985 We'll see where that lands, but here's another path. 650 00:43:14,835 --> 00:43:20,565 At least, uh, hopefully if there are, you know, protected characteristics or 651 00:43:20,565 --> 00:43:22,815 belief systems, uh, you can become vegan. 652 00:43:22,815 --> 00:43:27,585 But if you, if you don't actually want to become vegan as a Laurence 653 00:43:27,585 --> 00:43:30,015 Fox Laurence Fox came out. 654 00:43:30,615 --> 00:43:36,645 This week do be able to, you know, get out of any forced vaccinations 655 00:43:36,645 --> 00:43:38,384 by having some special protection. 656 00:43:38,565 --> 00:43:42,465 So he came out as a trans vegan that's right. 657 00:43:42,465 --> 00:43:44,295 Trans vegan, and he didn't make it up. 658 00:43:44,505 --> 00:43:48,975 According to the urban dictionary at trans vegan is a quote, a 659 00:43:48,975 --> 00:43:51,045 person or intelligent people. 660 00:43:51,970 --> 00:43:55,420 I think it's hilarious that you have to see intelligent being, um, 661 00:43:55,450 --> 00:43:59,950 because maybe the, the intelligent beam doesn't identify as a person. 662 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:05,880 So a person or intelligent being who feels like a vegan associates as a 663 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:12,510 vegan behaves and talks like a vegan, but as it is trapped in the body of a 664 00:44:12,510 --> 00:44:15,240 carnivore and cannot help, but eat meat. 665 00:44:16,395 --> 00:44:21,405 Denoting or relating to a person who sense of personal identity does not 666 00:44:21,405 --> 00:44:24,315 correspond with their eating habits. 667 00:44:24,825 --> 00:44:25,095 Hmm. 668 00:44:25,785 --> 00:44:29,685 So I guess I might be coming out as trans vegan as well. 669 00:44:29,955 --> 00:44:34,275 You know, clearly I can't help but eat meat. 670 00:44:34,815 --> 00:44:37,785 Um, but really identify as a vegan. 671 00:44:37,785 --> 00:44:43,755 I ask that you respect my trans feminists and, uh, you know, 672 00:44:43,815 --> 00:44:44,865 maybe this would be a way that. 673 00:44:45,675 --> 00:44:50,925 If, if in the future, there's a mandate, at least with the current 674 00:44:50,925 --> 00:44:52,755 data out there, I've said this before. 675 00:44:53,925 --> 00:44:56,765 I'm not completely against ever getting a vaccine. 676 00:44:56,865 --> 00:44:58,275 My family gets vaccines. 677 00:44:58,515 --> 00:45:04,785 It just seems for something like this, which has lots of similarity to the flu. 678 00:45:04,785 --> 00:45:06,375 I don't go out and get a flu shot. 679 00:45:06,855 --> 00:45:13,935 So right now with the data that I have, I am a skeptic and that's okay. 680 00:45:15,250 --> 00:45:15,720 That's okay. 681 00:45:15,720 --> 00:45:18,270 Well, this show is brought to you by listeners. 682 00:45:18,299 --> 00:45:20,730 Like you, we don't have big corporate spots. 683 00:45:21,500 --> 00:45:25,190 And so if you get value out of the show, which I'm assuming if you are 684 00:45:25,850 --> 00:45:30,020 this far into the episode and still listening, you get some value out of it. 685 00:45:30,650 --> 00:45:34,460 I ask that you consider giving value back to the show in the 686 00:45:34,460 --> 00:45:36,770 measure that you received value. 687 00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:41,180 Thousands of people turn to this show every month to help 688 00:45:41,540 --> 00:45:43,790 them inform, to help inform. 689 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:50,070 The, the arguments that are being propped up against them to 690 00:45:50,130 --> 00:45:54,200 undermine their worldview, their, their way of viewing the world. 691 00:45:55,279 --> 00:45:55,759 And we have. 692 00:45:57,870 --> 00:46:02,580 In defending and researching and, and giving arguments to, 693 00:46:02,790 --> 00:46:08,010 to combat those things so that we really can own our personal 694 00:46:08,010 --> 00:46:11,610 agency and thereby own our future. 695 00:46:11,610 --> 00:46:12,900 So if you. 696 00:46:13,415 --> 00:46:18,395 Would like to support the show and essentially be a producer of the show. 697 00:46:18,395 --> 00:46:23,405 You can go to Lucas robot.com and you can give your hard cold feet out there. 698 00:46:23,405 --> 00:46:29,255 Or you can visit a new podcasting apps.com and you can click the 699 00:46:29,255 --> 00:46:33,305 appropriate button to find a podcast app. 700 00:46:34,170 --> 00:46:41,160 Podcasting 2.0 certified app where you can stream Bitcoin SATs and Sitoshi as 701 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,160 you listen 1 cent, 2 cent per minute. 702 00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,890 And that's the way that I enjoy listening to podcasts, because I know 703 00:46:46,890 --> 00:46:48,780 that I can give back to independence. 704 00:46:49,380 --> 00:46:52,440 Creators as I listen, don't go away. 705 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,320 We'll be right back with our closing Weaver and looms segment. 706 00:47:03,110 --> 00:47:04,340 Welcome back to Weaver. 707 00:47:04,340 --> 00:47:07,550 Aluma part of the show where we take ancient wisdom and we weave 708 00:47:07,550 --> 00:47:10,880 it in with our everyday lives so that we can own our future. 709 00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:11,240 And we can. 710 00:47:11,970 --> 00:47:15,330 Our destinies today's quote comes from Solomon. 711 00:47:15,870 --> 00:47:21,360 He wrote in Proverbs, do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you 712 00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:27,990 yourself will be just like him goes on in the next proverb to say, answer a 713 00:47:27,990 --> 00:47:35,370 fool, according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes, trans veganism. 714 00:47:36,510 --> 00:47:40,950 I mean how, the fact that that was actually a term. 715 00:47:41,970 --> 00:47:45,510 That someone was trans vegan that they identified as vegan. 716 00:47:45,510 --> 00:47:45,570 Yeah. 717 00:47:46,940 --> 00:47:52,490 Even though they continued to eat meat, that was something that was 718 00:47:52,490 --> 00:48:00,350 around at least all the way back in 2017, that scene to, to the rational 719 00:48:00,770 --> 00:48:03,530 human being that seems like folly. 720 00:48:03,950 --> 00:48:04,430 And yet. 721 00:48:05,905 --> 00:48:11,935 That is, and yet it makes perfect sense to use that argument, especially in light 722 00:48:12,175 --> 00:48:18,325 of the cultural climate, where if, if you are trans, you know, heaven forbid, heaven 723 00:48:18,325 --> 00:48:21,295 forbid anyone says anything against you. 724 00:48:21,295 --> 00:48:23,965 That's hate speech that's discrimination. 725 00:48:24,445 --> 00:48:29,575 And at the same time with the measures that are coming forth, 726 00:48:30,145 --> 00:48:32,065 it does seem like religious. 727 00:48:32,775 --> 00:48:37,365 W religious exemptions are being pushed to the race wayside. 728 00:48:37,605 --> 00:48:42,345 But what is being brought front and center are, are things that are 729 00:48:42,345 --> 00:48:46,714 built on irrational, no ideologies. 730 00:48:46,805 --> 00:48:49,985 And it is because progressivism and we talked about this in the previous 731 00:48:49,985 --> 00:48:53,495 episode is because progressive ism has. 732 00:48:54,560 --> 00:49:00,470 E a mutation of liberalism progressivism isn't liberalism got further and 733 00:49:00,470 --> 00:49:03,470 further and further along the political spectrum and then morphed 734 00:49:03,470 --> 00:49:10,220 into progressivism, which is and morphed into extreme authoritarianism. 735 00:49:10,220 --> 00:49:14,450 As we were talking about in the previous episode of it, it's not that trajectory. 736 00:49:15,535 --> 00:49:19,585 Progressivism has an entirely different subset of ideologies. 737 00:49:19,585 --> 00:49:24,115 And those ideologies comes from post-modern thought and belief where 738 00:49:24,115 --> 00:49:29,875 there is no reason where there is no truth, where there is no morality 739 00:49:29,905 --> 00:49:34,345 where everything is merely, relative, everything boils back down to power. 740 00:49:35,065 --> 00:49:35,315 So. 741 00:49:36,530 --> 00:49:37,970 It's not a progression. 742 00:49:38,690 --> 00:49:43,070 When we look at the political spectrum from right to left, you 743 00:49:43,070 --> 00:49:46,490 think that, okay, the rights are conservative and they're afraid of 744 00:49:46,630 --> 00:49:48,070 everything that doesn't look like them. 745 00:49:48,070 --> 00:49:52,630 They want to control themselves and control everyone in an 746 00:49:52,690 --> 00:49:54,400 order society just perfectly. 747 00:49:54,670 --> 00:49:58,660 But then when you move across to the liberal side, well then they're, you 748 00:49:58,660 --> 00:50:00,040 know, free flowing and everything. 749 00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:00,100 Yeah. 750 00:50:01,630 --> 00:50:05,170 Or even if you look at the political compass, which says that on the top, 751 00:50:06,185 --> 00:50:10,175 You have authoritarianism and on the bottom you have libertarianism. 752 00:50:10,355 --> 00:50:16,415 And the top of the quadrants is they're trying to control everything and the 753 00:50:16,415 --> 00:50:18,785 bottom it's just a free for all liberal. 754 00:50:20,075 --> 00:50:24,995 It doesn't actually like these, these scales, whether they're trying to 755 00:50:24,995 --> 00:50:30,215 measure economics or socials or show social scales or the collectivist versus 756 00:50:30,215 --> 00:50:33,635 individualist, they, they don't work. 757 00:50:34,770 --> 00:50:38,819 If you stop and actually think through, well, where would this ideology fall 758 00:50:38,819 --> 00:50:41,279 and how do you have yourself in a place? 759 00:50:41,310 --> 00:50:45,890 And the reason that fee they don't work is because they're really not sliding scale. 760 00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:49,430 They're not a connected scale where you kind of just slide 761 00:50:49,430 --> 00:50:51,500 from one thing to another next. 762 00:50:51,980 --> 00:50:59,150 This, this scale works when politics and government is your God. 763 00:50:59,720 --> 00:51:02,360 And there is no, there is no such thing as. 764 00:51:04,050 --> 00:51:07,710 As reason outside of political ideology. 765 00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:16,170 And we, we touched on, is there, is there a possibility to, in the previous 766 00:51:16,170 --> 00:51:22,440 episode, is there a possibility to have a moral injustice society without. 767 00:51:23,385 --> 00:51:28,515 God, or without divine revelation or divine laws that are given 768 00:51:28,515 --> 00:51:33,255 by God as Thomas Aquinas talks about the divine laws. 769 00:51:33,585 --> 00:51:37,005 And we hinted on, well, no, but really the answer is yes. 770 00:51:37,005 --> 00:51:40,245 And even Aquinas talks about that, that there are natural laws and 771 00:51:40,245 --> 00:51:44,955 that there are human laws, but the way that we come to these laws. 772 00:51:45,735 --> 00:51:50,745 Like liberalism might come to these laws is through reason. 773 00:51:51,135 --> 00:51:55,695 And it's through rationality that we're able to look at the world and look at 774 00:51:55,695 --> 00:52:00,105 our relationships and through the use of reason and the use of objective truth 775 00:52:00,345 --> 00:52:05,145 from the looking at nature and observing things and conscience that is in our heart 776 00:52:05,145 --> 00:52:11,985 and relationships is through reason that we're able to come to those conclusions. 777 00:52:12,505 --> 00:52:14,725 What is justice or injustice? 778 00:52:14,725 --> 00:52:21,055 What is truth or falsehood, but progressivism has starts 779 00:52:21,055 --> 00:52:25,405 from a totally different base of ideology of belief system. 780 00:52:26,335 --> 00:52:32,385 It is that there is no reason there is no truth, whereas liberalism or, 781 00:52:32,385 --> 00:52:34,855 or collectivist versus individual. 782 00:52:35,035 --> 00:52:38,785 Those, those do fit on some, some sort of a spectrum. 783 00:52:40,835 --> 00:52:45,785 We have to realize that when we take these presuppositions that are so far 784 00:52:45,785 --> 00:52:50,315 down, these root systems, oftentimes they're completely and totally detached. 785 00:52:50,495 --> 00:52:54,575 And that's why we're seeing things like progressivism, which seems to 786 00:52:54,575 --> 00:52:56,465 be, which has been called liberalism. 787 00:52:56,465 --> 00:52:57,395 That turns into. 788 00:52:58,380 --> 00:53:02,730 Authoritarianism, but it's not that at all what's happening is it's a totally 789 00:53:02,730 --> 00:53:07,500 different subset of ideas that has pushed liberalism classical liberalism 790 00:53:07,860 --> 00:53:11,310 out of the picture and is superseding. 791 00:53:11,700 --> 00:53:16,890 But it still has that label as being liberal when it really is far from 792 00:53:16,890 --> 00:53:22,770 it and the objectives and that motive operandum operandum is not what we have. 793 00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:28,320 Considered to be liberal in the past, but going back to this quote, 794 00:53:29,490 --> 00:53:36,240 I say all of that to say when, when we look at whether it's a protest, 795 00:53:36,570 --> 00:53:38,030 when we look at whether it is. 796 00:53:39,770 --> 00:53:44,190 Uh, a comedian coming out as a trans vegan. 797 00:53:44,190 --> 00:53:49,190 When, when we look at how do we, how do we use community, patient? 798 00:53:49,190 --> 00:53:50,450 How do we use media? 799 00:53:50,450 --> 00:53:51,590 How do we use entertainment? 800 00:53:51,590 --> 00:53:56,150 How do we use jokes to combat this irrationality? 801 00:53:57,290 --> 00:54:02,420 That there are times where it's fitting not to use folly. 802 00:54:04,370 --> 00:54:09,320 And not to respond to the folly, but to use rationality, to use 803 00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:14,930 Regent, weak reason to use logic, to use truth, to combat it, but also 804 00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:25,790 those in the progressive camp that has said there is no such thing as rash. 805 00:54:26,240 --> 00:54:27,080 There is no such thing. 806 00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:27,650 As reason. 807 00:54:27,650 --> 00:54:30,200 Those are all constructs to oppress people. 808 00:54:31,140 --> 00:54:32,100 Which is what they say. 809 00:54:32,460 --> 00:54:33,870 This was the postmodernist. 810 00:54:34,049 --> 00:54:35,310 Say it's all just power. 811 00:54:36,420 --> 00:54:43,950 They're not going to respond to arguments of reason because that 812 00:54:43,950 --> 00:54:48,509 is not the way they're operating system of viewing the world works. 813 00:54:48,509 --> 00:54:50,580 So what do you do well? 814 00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:57,530 You then answer a fool, answer someone who believes there is no reason 815 00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:01,820 according to irrational humans, because that's how you win the battle. 816 00:55:02,240 --> 00:55:05,840 And that's, and that's why I think, you know, trans veganism 817 00:55:06,140 --> 00:55:09,230 might just be the way to go. 818 00:55:09,230 --> 00:55:12,710 Another way to go to get more out of this episode. 819 00:55:12,710 --> 00:55:14,570 If you are already here at the end. 820 00:55:15,395 --> 00:55:17,915 You must have gotten some value audit to get more value. 821 00:55:17,915 --> 00:55:21,245 You can steal all of these ideas and share them with your friends. 822 00:55:21,245 --> 00:55:25,385 You don't even have to reference this podcast, but the way to build 823 00:55:25,535 --> 00:55:31,835 a stronger culture and a stronger community is by sharing and discussing 824 00:55:31,865 --> 00:55:36,335 these ideas with your friend, with your wife, with your colleagues, 825 00:55:36,365 --> 00:55:39,205 with your coworkers, whether you. 826 00:55:40,365 --> 00:55:41,985 Or I, or right or wrong. 827 00:55:42,255 --> 00:55:46,695 It is the process of asking questions in critical thinking. 828 00:55:47,685 --> 00:55:51,375 Because we might get information tomorrow that's different, but we 829 00:55:51,375 --> 00:55:55,995 need to be able to use our critical thinking, to use the faculties that we 830 00:55:55,995 --> 00:56:00,855 have been given to discern and pursue truth to continue on that pursuit. 831 00:56:01,215 --> 00:56:05,085 And that is what keeps us from the ditches on either side, not the camp 832 00:56:05,085 --> 00:56:12,435 at one spot, but to use our faculties to continual we pursue what is. 833 00:56:13,895 --> 00:56:18,165 The way that we do that is by talking by asking questions, not to keep 834 00:56:18,165 --> 00:56:22,935 on asking questions, but to arrive at the truth, because that is what 835 00:56:23,055 --> 00:56:25,904 unlocks and opens up our purpose. 836 00:56:26,355 --> 00:56:31,214 And if we can do that, we really can own the future.
