1 00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:06,210 Cruise missiles are flying over the Arabian peninsula and blessed are the 2 00:00:06,210 --> 00:00:12,450 meek because they really, at the end of it, all, those who decide to restrain 3 00:00:12,450 --> 00:00:16,920 themselves and use control, even if that means very strained themselves from 4 00:00:17,190 --> 00:00:21,510 protecting or overprotecting or causing environments that are, are overpaying. 5 00:00:22,530 --> 00:00:27,330 For the ones that they love, those are the people who truly will get what they want. 6 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,890 Those are the ones who will truly outlast all of the crazy that we are seeing. 7 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:38,400 And finally, free speech free speech is the foundation for free. 8 00:00:39,130 --> 00:00:40,510 Of thoughts. 9 00:00:41,740 --> 00:00:45,490 Hey, it's Lucas robot and you're listening to the Lucas Stroball show 10 00:00:45,490 --> 00:00:52,060 where we uncover purpose, pursue truth and own the future episode 267. 11 00:00:52,540 --> 00:00:55,750 We are actually streaming live right now on YouTube. 12 00:00:56,019 --> 00:01:00,850 If you are listening to the podcast, listening really is one of my favorite 13 00:01:00,850 --> 00:01:03,310 ways to consume media as well. 14 00:01:03,460 --> 00:01:05,170 So if you're listening, maybe driving. 15 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,110 Just know that we are now streaming these live. 16 00:01:10,380 --> 00:01:13,980 Uh, currently we're doing it on Thursday morning, my time. 17 00:01:13,980 --> 00:01:15,840 I don't know what time that is your time. 18 00:01:16,350 --> 00:01:22,200 Uh, but so far I'm enjoying the process of, of doing these live. 19 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,570 And I hope that you enjoy too. 20 00:01:24,570 --> 00:01:28,770 You can jump on the live stream and, uh, leave a little comment 21 00:01:28,770 --> 00:01:30,330 like Mitchell already has. 22 00:01:30,660 --> 00:01:33,870 So thanks for showing up and being here, but as. 23 00:01:34,845 --> 00:01:39,195 We get into this episode, we're gonna be covering a couple of different topics, 24 00:01:39,285 --> 00:01:41,384 but really it ties into one thing. 25 00:01:41,714 --> 00:01:43,515 Safety is overrated. 26 00:01:43,515 --> 00:01:45,824 Safety is an illusion. 27 00:01:46,485 --> 00:01:49,905 We, we go about our lives, thinking that we have this. 28 00:01:51,390 --> 00:01:55,950 Safe world or that we're building a safe world or we're working towards a safer 29 00:01:55,950 --> 00:01:59,370 world, but safety at the beginning of the day, you have the middle of the day. 30 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,570 And the end of the day is merely an illusion case. 31 00:02:03,660 --> 00:02:12,390 In point, you probably saw the footage swirling around the internet of a 32 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:19,740 volcano in the middle of the ocean erupting sending a 49 foot tsunami. 33 00:02:21,135 --> 00:02:21,975 And hitting Tonga. 34 00:02:23,835 --> 00:02:24,735 A few people died. 35 00:02:24,915 --> 00:02:27,945 I believe that the number right now is three people. 36 00:02:28,275 --> 00:02:29,985 At least three people have been killed. 37 00:02:29,985 --> 00:02:37,455 The death toll could end up being higher, but right now the, uh, underwater under 38 00:02:37,455 --> 00:02:40,995 C um, fiber optic lines have been cut. 39 00:02:40,995 --> 00:02:45,105 So we don't have a lot of information coming out, but the footage was 40 00:02:45,105 --> 00:02:47,325 absolutely incredible from space. 41 00:02:47,325 --> 00:02:49,365 You see just the earth exploding. 42 00:02:50,445 --> 00:02:56,055 But this is the dangerous world that we live in dangerous world, that we 43 00:02:56,055 --> 00:03:02,265 live in, where at any moment a volcano could erupt and it could be our life. 44 00:03:02,295 --> 00:03:09,735 The other big piece of news that is coming across the world this week is eight. 45 00:03:09,735 --> 00:03:12,615 Who the strike in the United Arab Emirates. 46 00:03:13,710 --> 00:03:15,750 Now we're not going to get too deep into this. 47 00:03:15,750 --> 00:03:23,400 I'm not a super big expert on the geopolitical happenings in Yemen, but I'll 48 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:28,920 give you the, the rough, the rough play of it, which is you have the who Thies 49 00:03:29,070 --> 00:03:32,820 in Yemen who are being supported by Iran. 50 00:03:34,230 --> 00:03:40,049 Funding with technology and they are fighting the internationally 51 00:03:40,079 --> 00:03:44,280 established government, which is being backed by Saudi and the UAE. 52 00:03:44,489 --> 00:03:49,410 So really there is a lot of tension between Saudi and Iran. 53 00:03:50,655 --> 00:03:56,835 Saudi and UAE and Iran specifically, which really also boils down to, 54 00:03:57,285 --> 00:04:01,485 in a rough sort of way, a conflict between Sunni's and Shiites. 55 00:04:01,545 --> 00:04:02,655 Iran means shit. 56 00:04:03,915 --> 00:04:08,415 So what's happening is there is a proxy war taking place between 57 00:04:08,625 --> 00:04:12,255 Iran and Saudi Arabia via Yemen. 58 00:04:14,265 --> 00:04:19,454 United Arab Emirates had been engaging with troops on the ground for a 59 00:04:19,454 --> 00:04:23,955 number of years back in 2019 in Yemen. 60 00:04:23,985 --> 00:04:27,495 But they have recently pulled most of their troops out, even though 61 00:04:27,495 --> 00:04:32,865 they're still supporting the war with finances and with technology 62 00:04:33,045 --> 00:04:35,085 and supporting Saudi in that war. 63 00:04:37,365 --> 00:04:38,745 Most of the Houthi attacks. 64 00:04:39,660 --> 00:04:41,850 Have come against Saudi Arabia. 65 00:04:41,850 --> 00:04:45,630 We've seen over the last number of years, multiple, whether it's drone 66 00:04:45,630 --> 00:04:49,920 strikes, whether it's, uh, Scud missiles, whether it's cruise missiles 67 00:04:49,950 --> 00:04:56,070 going into Saudi, we we've seen the, the anti-missile systems over, off 68 00:04:56,310 --> 00:04:59,010 shooting down missiles as they come in. 69 00:04:59,010 --> 00:05:01,800 It's quite, it's quite scary thinking Riyadh. 70 00:05:01,830 --> 00:05:06,240 It's a city of a developed city of 9 million people. 71 00:05:07,050 --> 00:05:10,440 9 million people and we have missiles flying over them. 72 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:17,610 This is the, some of the fragility, some of the fragility or instability 73 00:05:17,850 --> 00:05:22,140 that we're seeing right now in the region here in the Arabian peninsula. 74 00:05:22,470 --> 00:05:23,190 So what happened. 75 00:05:24,300 --> 00:05:30,240 Over the week on the 17th, we saw a, an attack by the who Thies 76 00:05:30,630 --> 00:05:33,180 against United Arab Emirates. 77 00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:38,100 The who these have claimed the, who these have quote unquote described using 78 00:05:38,100 --> 00:05:43,230 cruise missiles and ballistic missiles in the attack without offering evidence. 79 00:05:45,070 --> 00:05:49,030 Now, as they said themselves, we don't have evidence that it was actually 80 00:05:49,030 --> 00:05:53,890 a cruise missile or whether it was a, a drone that they flew across 81 00:05:53,890 --> 00:05:57,460 the empty quarter to Abu Dhabi, where they struck three oil tankers. 82 00:05:57,729 --> 00:06:00,669 And they also struck the Abu Dhabi airport, according to reports, 83 00:06:00,969 --> 00:06:02,989 leaving three people dead as. 84 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,560 United Arab Emirates is considered one of the safest nations in the region. 85 00:06:09,590 --> 00:06:14,240 And really w we lived in the United Arab Emirates for about two, three years. 86 00:06:14,780 --> 00:06:16,760 And it is a wonderful place to live. 87 00:06:17,090 --> 00:06:18,530 We love the UAE. 88 00:06:18,890 --> 00:06:20,420 We love our relationships. 89 00:06:20,420 --> 00:06:21,590 There are friendships there. 90 00:06:21,590 --> 00:06:26,030 We loved and deeply enjoyed living there in the United Arab Emirates. 91 00:06:26,030 --> 00:06:30,200 And it truly is when you walk the streets, when you drive down the road, when you're 92 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,210 meeting people, it feels like a safe. 93 00:06:32,969 --> 00:06:34,260 It looks like a safe place. 94 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,680 Every interaction that we've had gives you a sense of safety. 95 00:06:38,219 --> 00:06:40,860 Right now, we, we live in the neighboring nation of Oman. 96 00:06:41,985 --> 00:06:45,525 And it's ranked one of the fifth safest nation in the world. 97 00:06:45,885 --> 00:06:47,745 Uh, we love, we love it here. 98 00:06:47,775 --> 00:06:53,505 And safety here is one of the greatest draws for many people to 99 00:06:53,505 --> 00:06:56,655 this region of knowing that these are stable and safe countries. 100 00:06:56,865 --> 00:07:01,185 But right now with the hoof, these are doing are working to disrupt that 101 00:07:01,185 --> 00:07:03,135 safety because this is one of the. 102 00:07:04,305 --> 00:07:09,331 Big marketing pushes or points, selling points on a nation like United 103 00:07:09,331 --> 00:07:11,535 Arab Emirates, which is we are safe. 104 00:07:11,835 --> 00:07:12,735 We are stable. 105 00:07:12,825 --> 00:07:13,845 You can invest in here. 106 00:07:13,845 --> 00:07:16,365 Your businesses can invest in here. 107 00:07:16,425 --> 00:07:18,075 You do not have to worry. 108 00:07:18,375 --> 00:07:21,765 And that is really one of the fundamental things that the, who these 109 00:07:21,795 --> 00:07:28,005 are working to attack right now is the reputation of the United Arab Emirate. 110 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:35,490 Uh, according to Al-Jazeera, uh, they had one of their senior experts on the Yemen, 111 00:07:35,850 --> 00:07:43,140 uh, conflict Yemen who theat Saudi Arabian conflict here is Hesham from Al Jazeera. 112 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,990 I was in touch with them Hammad out of the set up just a while ago. 113 00:07:46,525 --> 00:07:50,935 Kia spokesperson of the Houthi, his, and his said the operation today is 114 00:07:50,935 --> 00:07:55,945 a message to the Emiraties that we are going to do whatever it takes to 115 00:07:55,945 --> 00:08:00,895 make it extremely difficult for them inside the UAE and to push all the 116 00:08:00,895 --> 00:08:05,094 international companies to put out from the authorities, unless the Emiraties 117 00:08:05,094 --> 00:08:10,705 stop interfering militarily politically and economically in Saudi Arabia. 118 00:08:10,734 --> 00:08:15,244 So this is, I think he meant to say in Yemen, Point there's a little 119 00:08:15,244 --> 00:08:18,784 bit more to this clip, but the point right now, he's making that 120 00:08:18,784 --> 00:08:20,135 the, who these are making a scene. 121 00:08:20,255 --> 00:08:25,474 We are going to disrupt what is happening in the United Arab Emirates. 122 00:08:25,474 --> 00:08:27,635 This, it sounds like it's not just a one and done. 123 00:08:27,784 --> 00:08:31,565 This is an ongoing threat that the who Thies are leveling 124 00:08:31,835 --> 00:08:33,755 against the United Arab Emirates. 125 00:08:33,784 --> 00:08:36,995 And for sure, the United Arab Emirates is not going to take 126 00:08:36,995 --> 00:08:38,855 this line down as they should. 127 00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:44,520 Uh, if, if anyone had missiles flying over their nation, they 128 00:08:44,579 --> 00:08:47,040 should definitely defend themselves. 129 00:08:47,790 --> 00:08:48,750 He goes on in this. 130 00:08:50,189 --> 00:08:54,030 Uh, this is a message from the Houthi is to the, to the UAE. 131 00:08:54,270 --> 00:08:58,590 This is, you know, for them to be able to fall after all these years, we're talking 132 00:08:58,590 --> 00:09:02,880 about almost seven years to send drones into the Saudi Arabia or into the UAS, 133 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,500 the message that we're far from defeated. 134 00:09:04,830 --> 00:09:08,939 This is definitely going to further strained relations between the, of, 135 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,560 and the, and Iran because, you know, era, the Emirates and Saudi Arabia 136 00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:17,330 have been saying that the healthies would never have been able to. 137 00:09:18,180 --> 00:09:21,960 Most of those drones, have they not been given technology 138 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,160 and support from the Iranian? 139 00:09:25,700 --> 00:09:32,540 The point right now that we're trying to make in this episode is that even in the 140 00:09:32,540 --> 00:09:36,800 safest of places, safety is an illusion. 141 00:09:38,060 --> 00:09:40,970 And we have witnessed this over the last two years. 142 00:09:40,970 --> 00:09:45,050 I think we are more aware of this as a society now than ever before. 143 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:54,100 With COVID and what it has done to humanity on a vast scale, it has boiled 144 00:09:54,100 --> 00:09:56,020 everything down in people's lives. 145 00:09:58,099 --> 00:10:02,420 Foreseen individuals to ask the question, what is important in my life? 146 00:10:02,479 --> 00:10:04,729 What do I have to hang onto? 147 00:10:05,030 --> 00:10:10,219 And the answer to that most, the majority of humanity has found is the only thing 148 00:10:10,219 --> 00:10:12,380 that I have is my health and wellness. 149 00:10:12,620 --> 00:10:15,620 The only thing that I have, everything else, it falls away. 150 00:10:15,709 --> 00:10:16,579 It fades away. 151 00:10:16,790 --> 00:10:19,760 It doesn't matter if I don't have my health and wellness, 152 00:10:19,969 --> 00:10:20,780 I don't have anything. 153 00:10:21,140 --> 00:10:24,079 So we've been willing to give up freedoms. 154 00:10:24,079 --> 00:10:25,469 We've been willing to give. 155 00:10:26,969 --> 00:10:30,120 Well to give up control of our lives and give it over to 156 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,680 bureaucracies your governments. 157 00:10:31,890 --> 00:10:34,680 We've been willing to say you just tell us what to do. 158 00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:42,449 I'm going to lay down my own objective reasoning, and we give over our power. 159 00:10:42,510 --> 00:10:47,610 We give over our control, not necessarily for the sake of caution, 160 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,290 but for the sake of precaution. 161 00:10:49,290 --> 00:10:51,660 Now there's a difference between caution and precaution. 162 00:10:51,810 --> 00:10:53,130 We should all be cautious. 163 00:10:53,699 --> 00:10:54,270 We should not have. 164 00:10:55,425 --> 00:10:59,865 Go up to the edge of a cliff and lean over and then try to take a selfie. 165 00:10:59,865 --> 00:11:04,245 I mean, there's, I don't know how many people die each year in Yosemite or 166 00:11:04,245 --> 00:11:10,395 places like that, where they go past the boundary, go past the fence where 167 00:11:10,395 --> 00:11:12,495 it says, don't pass your caution. 168 00:11:12,885 --> 00:11:17,145 And they go up to the edge of the cliff to take a selfie and tragically, 169 00:11:17,295 --> 00:11:18,885 they slip and they fall off the cliff. 170 00:11:22,214 --> 00:11:22,995 But that is caution. 171 00:11:22,995 --> 00:11:27,885 That fence is something that is gives warning and caution that should be 172 00:11:27,885 --> 00:11:34,155 followed, but we have by and large as a society, COVID aside, we've by large, 173 00:11:34,395 --> 00:11:39,974 as society have moved far past taking caution and we've been taking pre. 174 00:11:41,235 --> 00:11:46,305 So for a hyperbole, an example, an exaggerated example, that would be, 175 00:11:46,905 --> 00:11:50,084 well, we probably shouldn't even go up to the side of a mountain. 176 00:11:50,084 --> 00:11:51,645 You probably shouldn't even go up to the cliff. 177 00:11:51,675 --> 00:11:55,935 Don't even go hiking because you never know what might get you up. 178 00:11:56,235 --> 00:12:01,485 The cliff, the gravity, rain, mosquito, you know, heaven forbid, you know, you 179 00:12:01,485 --> 00:12:03,525 scratch your leg on a Bramble Bush. 180 00:12:04,155 --> 00:12:06,765 We've moved in as a society by and large. 181 00:12:07,875 --> 00:12:13,185 To a place of precaution and that plays out really in the way that we 182 00:12:13,485 --> 00:12:15,975 begin to parent and raise our children. 183 00:12:16,515 --> 00:12:17,175 We see this. 184 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:23,400 Progressive, not just progressive media, but progressive thoughts where 185 00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:24,870 everything has trigger warnings. 186 00:12:24,870 --> 00:12:29,040 We're so afraid to offend people were so afraid that people might 187 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,660 be offended by what we say. 188 00:12:30,690 --> 00:12:32,460 I, I recognize that in my life. 189 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:38,930 I often find myself self-censoring because I'm afraid of what you might think. 190 00:12:39,020 --> 00:12:42,680 I'm afraid that someone might be offended at what I say, and I don't 191 00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:47,240 want it to have to deal with the maybe if, and maybe if Andrew conflict 192 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,800 that might happen when in reality, you're probably not even listening. 193 00:12:51,950 --> 00:12:56,450 The people who would be offended probably aren't. 194 00:12:58,255 --> 00:13:01,584 Now this we're about to dive into a touchy subject, the 195 00:13:01,584 --> 00:13:03,805 subject of parenting and kids. 196 00:13:03,805 --> 00:13:04,944 So trigger warning. 197 00:13:05,295 --> 00:13:06,295 See, see what I did there. 198 00:13:06,415 --> 00:13:07,135 This is exactly. 199 00:13:07,135 --> 00:13:08,245 This is exactly what it means. 200 00:13:08,275 --> 00:13:10,375 The precaution trigger warning. 201 00:13:10,525 --> 00:13:14,935 Actually isn't helping society, but as society as a whole, we have begun to 202 00:13:15,055 --> 00:13:23,415 insulate our children to insulate humanity society from dangerous for their own. 203 00:13:24,775 --> 00:13:30,805 And it's a hard balance of deciding what, where exactly is that line, where 204 00:13:30,805 --> 00:13:37,075 we're insulating or protecting or taking precaution for our children's good 205 00:13:37,285 --> 00:13:40,765 or do good to society versus being. 206 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,910 Protective over too much of a helicopter parents. 207 00:13:44,910 --> 00:13:48,630 So again, whenever goodness gracious. 208 00:13:49,050 --> 00:13:54,989 Whenever I post anything like this or talk anything like this, there are a 209 00:13:54,989 --> 00:14:00,930 number of people who really come out and get upset at some of the things that I 210 00:14:00,930 --> 00:14:03,359 say or some of the things that, uh, Dr. 211 00:14:03,390 --> 00:14:06,689 Jordan Peterson is about to say right here on this podcast. 212 00:14:06,689 --> 00:14:10,469 So trigger warning, uh, I'm about to play something that's current. 213 00:14:12,175 --> 00:14:16,195 Children used to have multiple siblings and siblings toughen 214 00:14:16,195 --> 00:14:19,795 you up because there's tremendous competition in families among siblings. 215 00:14:19,795 --> 00:14:23,275 And they had younger parents who had fewer resources and you know, 216 00:14:23,485 --> 00:14:26,065 now parents are older, first of all. 217 00:14:26,065 --> 00:14:30,145 And second they're more resource rich. 218 00:14:30,175 --> 00:14:34,255 And so they're more likely to schedule their children to death in 219 00:14:34,255 --> 00:14:37,555 some sense, to provide them with all the opportunities that they feel. 220 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:39,090 Useful. 221 00:14:39,090 --> 00:14:40,740 And that's understandable. 222 00:14:40,950 --> 00:14:45,030 And plus, because they have fewer children, each child is in some sense, 223 00:14:45,030 --> 00:14:49,140 more precious, you know, not like if you have 10 children, you don't love all of 224 00:14:49,140 --> 00:14:50,820 them, but you know, there's 10 of them. 225 00:14:51,090 --> 00:14:54,970 There's, there's only so much excess attention that can go around 226 00:14:54,970 --> 00:14:57,000 and, um, pause that right there. 227 00:14:57,270 --> 00:15:01,560 If this is true, we have four going on five kids now. 228 00:15:03,525 --> 00:15:07,155 Our attention is now split four, almost five ways. 229 00:15:07,515 --> 00:15:10,665 And that really does affect the amount of time and energy that you can give. 230 00:15:10,665 --> 00:15:14,474 But we find that the blessing of having many kids is that 231 00:15:14,655 --> 00:15:16,064 our kids play with one another. 232 00:15:16,064 --> 00:15:17,984 Our kids take care of one another. 233 00:15:18,165 --> 00:15:20,954 Our kids have friendship with one another. 234 00:15:21,165 --> 00:15:23,204 Our kids every day, they are outside. 235 00:15:23,785 --> 00:15:28,915 In the mud, getting beaten and bruised, falling, getting scraped bleeding. 236 00:15:29,095 --> 00:15:35,485 But the amount of times that one of our children comes in in a day crying in tears 237 00:15:35,485 --> 00:15:37,405 because they got hurt is extraordinary. 238 00:15:37,944 --> 00:15:39,055 Part of it comes from. 239 00:15:40,420 --> 00:15:43,060 That's just the way that we parent that we think that kids should 240 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,920 go out and explore and play. 241 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,760 Part of it also comes from the fact that we have four of them and there's 242 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,430 only two of us and we're working. 243 00:15:51,820 --> 00:15:56,740 So we don't have the ability to keep eyes on every, every child at every moment 244 00:15:56,740 --> 00:16:01,330 of the day, which that then tends to, or lends itself to kids, having their own 245 00:16:01,390 --> 00:16:03,880 exploratory process as we are seeing. 246 00:16:04,430 --> 00:16:05,089 In society. 247 00:16:05,089 --> 00:16:09,079 And this, this aspect is not a negative thing as we're seen in society, 248 00:16:09,319 --> 00:16:14,300 that we are where as the poverty line moves or better way to say as 249 00:16:14,300 --> 00:16:18,800 people more and more people come out of poverty and have more options. 250 00:16:19,130 --> 00:16:23,900 The birth rate begins to drop, and that is not inherently. 251 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,820 When the birth rate is, you know, 10, 20 kids per family, or 12 kids per family. 252 00:16:30,030 --> 00:16:31,830 So it's okay that it naturally drops it. 253 00:16:31,860 --> 00:16:34,610 I don't think there is a, uh, an issue with that. 254 00:16:34,650 --> 00:16:38,340 And the reason I'm clarifying that as many times when this subject comes 255 00:16:38,340 --> 00:16:43,170 up, if it's very touchy for people, it's touching for people for a number 256 00:16:43,170 --> 00:16:47,880 of reasons, one of those reasons is sometimes people want to have kids and 257 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,730 they, can't not talking about that. 258 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,220 Um, and there's some times. 259 00:16:54,074 --> 00:16:56,564 People decide that, Hey, I'm just okay. 260 00:16:56,564 --> 00:16:58,875 With two kids, I'm not talking about that. 261 00:16:59,655 --> 00:17:05,895 There is the negative side of what's happening, which is this extra 262 00:17:05,895 --> 00:17:07,004 narrative that has been laid on. 263 00:17:08,085 --> 00:17:11,984 Of saying we are going to have population explosion. 264 00:17:12,165 --> 00:17:15,615 Having a kid is morally corrupt and morally wrong. 265 00:17:15,734 --> 00:17:19,905 You should not have any children to have a child is morally wrong. 266 00:17:19,905 --> 00:17:23,024 This is a topic we've covered many times on the show. 267 00:17:23,264 --> 00:17:25,155 It really hits home for a lot of people. 268 00:17:27,675 --> 00:17:30,615 This again, it's not necessarily what Jordan Peterson is talking about, 269 00:17:30,615 --> 00:17:35,865 but with that, it's this well, this thought of I'm only gonna have one 270 00:17:35,865 --> 00:17:40,125 kid I'm only gonna have two kids that I can give all my precious time and 271 00:17:40,125 --> 00:17:45,375 energy and poured into these one or two vessels, which can have an ad 272 00:17:45,585 --> 00:17:48,585 verse effect because of overprotection. 273 00:17:48,585 --> 00:17:50,325 So we're going to finish this clip. 274 00:17:50,325 --> 00:17:53,445 We have another about minute and 30 seconds from this clip by Jordan Peter. 275 00:17:54,285 --> 00:17:57,435 Well, I took a photo from the Bronx. 276 00:17:57,495 --> 00:18:00,315 We used to heritage multiple of them, but there's 10 of them. 277 00:18:00,555 --> 00:18:05,205 There's, there's only so much excess attention that can go around and they 278 00:18:05,205 --> 00:18:10,815 do, uh, a lot of socializing each other rather than being socialized by parents. 279 00:18:10,815 --> 00:18:14,925 But if you only have one child, you know, you're going to devote all your resources 280 00:18:14,925 --> 00:18:17,925 to providing them with absolutely everything you can provide them with. 281 00:18:17,925 --> 00:18:21,075 And one of the dangers of that is that you'll overprotect them 282 00:18:21,075 --> 00:18:22,035 and you'll provide them with. 283 00:18:23,310 --> 00:18:25,920 And we don't understand those dynamics, right? 284 00:18:25,950 --> 00:18:31,590 We don't understand how much you should stay hands off your kids and 285 00:18:31,590 --> 00:18:35,639 let them go out there and make their own mistakes and find their own way. 286 00:18:35,639 --> 00:18:41,040 And that's, that's well, that's tricky and, and we're ignorant about it. 287 00:18:41,310 --> 00:18:43,740 And so I think one of the consequences of that is that we 288 00:18:43,740 --> 00:18:46,320 do have a reasonable percentage. 289 00:18:47,399 --> 00:18:51,810 Young people, maybe young adolescents, the kind that you hear about at 290 00:18:51,810 --> 00:18:56,550 university who have been overprotected and over-scheduled over-scheduled 291 00:18:56,550 --> 00:19:00,180 and under challenged in some sense. 292 00:19:00,629 --> 00:19:04,350 And so they're not very resilient and that's, and then of course 293 00:19:04,350 --> 00:19:07,710 what's happening in the universities, the safe spaces and the trigger 294 00:19:07,710 --> 00:19:08,669 warnings and all of that. 295 00:19:08,669 --> 00:19:09,149 And there's good. 296 00:19:09,149 --> 00:19:12,840 Recent research on this trigger warnings clearly make things worse. 297 00:19:13,919 --> 00:19:18,540 Then better, we extend that over protection far longer than is helpful. 298 00:19:20,669 --> 00:19:25,110 You know, it's hard though, because as I said, when you have resources, you can 299 00:19:25,110 --> 00:19:27,689 use them to make your children's lives. 300 00:19:27,750 --> 00:19:28,800 Let's say easier. 301 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:33,120 But the question is like, do you really want to make the life of someone you love? 302 00:19:35,220 --> 00:19:36,360 That's incredible. 303 00:19:36,360 --> 00:19:38,670 How difficult question that is a question. 304 00:19:38,670 --> 00:19:41,820 Do you want to make the life of someone that you love easier? 305 00:19:41,820 --> 00:19:43,440 Does that actually help them? 306 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,850 Because what we all want, we want to help the people that we love. 307 00:19:47,850 --> 00:19:49,590 We want to help our children. 308 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:55,440 You know what, probably most of the people who are making legislation and 309 00:19:55,560 --> 00:20:01,020 bureau bureaucracy and bureaucratic laws and red tape, I doubt the, you 310 00:20:01,020 --> 00:20:04,920 wake up in the morning and they say, how can it make someone's life horrible? 311 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,480 How can I destroy the economy? 312 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,490 Some, some people truly are. 313 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:14,040 They have a real socialist agenda of saying, if we can create this sort of 314 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,040 society, then we can destroy capitalism. 315 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:17,520 For instance. 316 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,080 Or we can destroy, destroy the moral fabric of a nation. 317 00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:27,870 There are people who are conniving and maniacal and plotting and such manners. 318 00:20:28,350 --> 00:20:29,490 It's not the average person. 319 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,900 The average person wakes up of saying, how can we make people's 320 00:20:33,900 --> 00:20:36,510 lives easier and better and safer? 321 00:20:37,710 --> 00:20:42,060 And there is a good side to that, but that can also lead as Dr. 322 00:20:42,060 --> 00:20:46,890 Jordan Peterson was saying to an overprotection of arch. 323 00:20:48,129 --> 00:20:52,030 Which then makes them soft, which makes them lack resilience. 324 00:20:52,300 --> 00:20:58,899 And as we started this episode with the explosion of a volcano in Tonga 325 00:20:58,929 --> 00:21:04,030 that just sent a massive tidal waves across the world, uh, three people 326 00:21:04,030 --> 00:21:10,570 died, uh, just incredible footage, or we see one of the safest nations on 327 00:21:10,570 --> 00:21:13,540 earth, whether it was a drone strikes. 328 00:21:14,264 --> 00:21:18,345 Oh, whether it was an armed drone, whether it was a ballistic 329 00:21:18,345 --> 00:21:19,485 missile, it doesn't matter. 330 00:21:19,784 --> 00:21:28,455 The fact that the world is changing where people can now through the means of a 331 00:21:28,455 --> 00:21:32,804 new form of guerrilla warfare strike nations from thousands of miles away. 332 00:21:35,010 --> 00:21:38,490 It should start a less, it should tell us and inform us that 333 00:21:38,490 --> 00:21:40,620 the world is not a safe place. 334 00:21:40,620 --> 00:21:43,350 We can not protect our children. 335 00:21:43,350 --> 00:21:45,660 We can not protect our civilization. 336 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,700 We can not stay safe. 337 00:21:48,750 --> 00:21:53,040 The answer then to our problem is we must be strong. 338 00:21:54,120 --> 00:21:55,020 We must be strong. 339 00:21:55,020 --> 00:21:58,170 We must build a resilient society. 340 00:21:58,260 --> 00:22:02,040 Resilient kids are resilient, culture, resilient families. 341 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:03,540 And that is what we aim to do. 342 00:22:03,540 --> 00:22:05,610 This is how we own the future. 343 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:06,810 This is our goal. 344 00:22:06,810 --> 00:22:12,420 How do we build strong and resilient individuals, families, and then 345 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:18,480 organizations or sectors of community spheres of society, whether it's 346 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,150 education or, or whether it's. 347 00:22:22,545 --> 00:22:26,385 Whether it's finance, whatever it is, how do we build a 348 00:22:26,385 --> 00:22:29,685 strong and resilient culture? 349 00:22:30,075 --> 00:22:35,055 Well, one of the answers to building a strong and resilient culture is meekness. 350 00:22:35,235 --> 00:22:42,435 Now, meekness is kind of a strange word, even if English isn't your first language. 351 00:22:43,485 --> 00:22:44,295 Don't feel bad. 352 00:22:44,295 --> 00:22:48,315 A lot of people whose English is their first language don't understand 353 00:22:48,585 --> 00:22:50,325 necessarily what meekness is. 354 00:22:50,325 --> 00:22:55,635 People often think meekness is a, uh, being timid or being quiet 355 00:22:55,695 --> 00:23:01,095 or being reserved, but truly the image of meekness is power under 356 00:23:01,095 --> 00:23:04,455 control, power under control. 357 00:23:04,485 --> 00:23:08,015 It's the image of a mighty gladiator or. 358 00:23:09,435 --> 00:23:15,135 Having his sword, that he could decimate his opponent in front of him with in just 359 00:23:15,135 --> 00:23:19,245 a moment, but he keeps his sword Shiva. 360 00:23:19,274 --> 00:23:22,125 He keeps his sword in his sheath. 361 00:23:22,754 --> 00:23:24,705 That is the image of meekness. 362 00:23:24,915 --> 00:23:31,274 It is having power, but choosing to restrain yourself and choosing 363 00:23:31,514 --> 00:23:36,855 not to use it, that is a path probably one of many paths. 364 00:23:37,755 --> 00:23:45,495 But that is a path to grow strong and resilient cultures and to grow 365 00:23:45,495 --> 00:23:47,265 strong and resilient as an individual. 366 00:23:47,475 --> 00:23:55,695 Now notice there's, there is a difference between being meek and being a victim. 367 00:23:56,835 --> 00:23:58,695 So someone who is being abused. 368 00:23:59,700 --> 00:24:03,780 Someone who's being trampled on as a victim. 369 00:24:03,930 --> 00:24:05,130 They're not powerful. 370 00:24:05,340 --> 00:24:12,000 They're not choosing to let their opponent or let their oppressor oppressed them. 371 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,490 They were just stuck in this situation. 372 00:24:14,820 --> 00:24:16,350 They can't get out. 373 00:24:16,380 --> 00:24:20,460 They are trampled and abused day in, day out, whether it's verbally 374 00:24:20,490 --> 00:24:23,940 or physically, that is just abuse. 375 00:24:24,210 --> 00:24:25,170 There's no honor. 376 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,700 There's no dignity in that. 377 00:24:29,264 --> 00:24:37,304 When there is a strong individual who is choosing to not retaliate 378 00:24:37,365 --> 00:24:41,385 when they are abused, even though they know, you know, what, if I just 379 00:24:41,385 --> 00:24:43,784 pull out my sword, I could destroy. 380 00:24:43,814 --> 00:24:45,495 I could just destroy you right now. 381 00:24:45,945 --> 00:24:47,054 You are so weak. 382 00:24:47,415 --> 00:24:50,564 So pathetic, your arguments are so lame. 383 00:24:51,225 --> 00:24:52,485 You are so hypocrite. 384 00:24:53,565 --> 00:24:54,075 I am. 385 00:24:54,225 --> 00:24:56,955 I could destroy, I could decimate you. 386 00:24:56,955 --> 00:24:59,085 I could decimate you with my keyboard. 387 00:24:59,445 --> 00:25:01,544 I could decimate you in front of your friends. 388 00:25:02,325 --> 00:25:09,014 I could have my vengeance, but instead strong people who utilize weak 389 00:25:09,165 --> 00:25:17,544 meekness withhold, and the hold back, that is the way to success because, 390 00:25:17,784 --> 00:25:18,715 and this is one of the reasons. 391 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:25,350 Because no one wants to be under the thumb and under the power of someone 392 00:25:25,410 --> 00:25:28,770 who totally decimates their enemies. 393 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:33,420 Because somewhere in the back of our mind, we, we, we do say, well, I want to be 394 00:25:33,420 --> 00:25:37,200 on her team because she's really strong. 395 00:25:37,620 --> 00:25:42,450 And she's the strongest one there is, or I want to be on his 396 00:25:42,450 --> 00:25:44,370 team because he's the greatest. 397 00:25:44,610 --> 00:25:47,670 And he just decimates everyone with his awesome company. 398 00:25:48,615 --> 00:25:53,235 But somewhere we realized what if I end up on the other side of that equation? 399 00:25:53,235 --> 00:25:58,155 What happens one day when I'm the one who is in that person's targets? 400 00:25:58,155 --> 00:25:59,775 We say, eh, I don't really want that. 401 00:25:59,835 --> 00:26:00,945 I don't want to be micromanaged. 402 00:26:00,945 --> 00:26:02,055 I don't want to be destroyed. 403 00:26:02,055 --> 00:26:05,715 I don't want to be controlled by this other individual. 404 00:26:05,985 --> 00:26:10,215 And therefore the people who end up winning the people who end up leading the 405 00:26:10,215 --> 00:26:16,845 CE, the corporations, the organizations, the systems of the world are. 406 00:26:17,805 --> 00:26:21,735 Maybe not in the short run, but in the long run are people who 407 00:26:21,735 --> 00:26:24,705 choose to exercise meekness. 408 00:26:25,545 --> 00:26:31,065 Now another way that meekness can play itself out, or maybe, yeah, 409 00:26:31,065 --> 00:26:32,385 it's a way that can play itself out. 410 00:26:32,715 --> 00:26:38,805 It's a little different is even when we have power over a situation, 411 00:26:38,805 --> 00:26:43,155 whether it's over a situation with our employees, over a situation with our, 412 00:26:43,255 --> 00:26:48,794 our children over a situation with our friends, Where we know the right answer. 413 00:26:48,824 --> 00:26:51,465 We have the power to control the outcome. 414 00:26:52,695 --> 00:26:55,995 Meekness is saying, I'm going to hold myself back. 415 00:26:56,685 --> 00:26:59,415 I'm going to let my kids make their mistakes. 416 00:27:00,195 --> 00:27:03,615 I'm going to let my employees learn and make their mistakes. 417 00:27:03,645 --> 00:27:06,465 Even though I know the right way to do it, they have an idea. 418 00:27:06,705 --> 00:27:07,605 They want to run with it. 419 00:27:07,605 --> 00:27:08,835 I'm going to let them run with it. 420 00:27:08,835 --> 00:27:10,365 I'm going to use meekness. 421 00:27:10,395 --> 00:27:13,935 And when we do restrain my power, even though I see the path that 422 00:27:13,935 --> 00:27:22,280 it's going to lead them, But when we do that, we give others freedom. 423 00:27:23,420 --> 00:27:28,560 They are then able to explore the unknown world. 424 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:34,860 They're able to explore it for themselves, learn lessons for themselves, which makes 425 00:27:34,860 --> 00:27:38,670 them stronger, which makes them resilient. 426 00:27:38,940 --> 00:27:43,440 They may, maybe they'll get hurt and they'll come back to us. 427 00:27:45,315 --> 00:27:47,895 Because they got hurt and we can comfort them. 428 00:27:48,315 --> 00:27:53,505 We can take care of them, but they would have learned a lesson, a valuable 429 00:27:53,505 --> 00:27:59,325 lesson that is going to be far more effective than being told what to do. 430 00:27:59,325 --> 00:28:03,225 This is another picture of meekness. 431 00:28:04,275 --> 00:28:10,935 Now, as I said, in the long run, not only in the temporary. 432 00:28:12,030 --> 00:28:14,070 Moment Terry world. 433 00:28:14,070 --> 00:28:24,300 But the, the eternal rewards of meekness are unmeasurable because what our kids say 434 00:28:24,300 --> 00:28:28,770 about us, what our grandkids say about us, it will be remembered by the temperament 435 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,890 by we left lead and lived our lives. 436 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,180 Do you want, do we want to be known as people who are controlling or 437 00:28:36,210 --> 00:28:39,840 over-protective and not letting our employees or anyone do anything? 438 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:40,320 Cause we know. 439 00:28:42,170 --> 00:28:46,790 Or do we want to be seen and known as people who are already leasing 440 00:28:47,270 --> 00:28:51,950 people who build platforms to let other people accomplish their dreams, 441 00:28:51,980 --> 00:28:54,920 not forcing them to build our dreams. 442 00:28:57,430 --> 00:28:59,830 This is a way to walk in truth. 443 00:28:59,860 --> 00:29:02,260 We, we talk about this on the show, discern discern 444 00:29:02,260 --> 00:29:04,090 truth, uncover our purpose. 445 00:29:04,330 --> 00:29:09,850 Well, purpose is, and I don't talk about this a whole lot on this. 446 00:29:11,159 --> 00:29:15,840 But it's really what was one of the main cause and drives to, to switch 447 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:20,250 some of the language of the show away from owner store, own your 448 00:29:20,250 --> 00:29:23,970 story and your own, your future, know your purpose and cover your purpose. 449 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:29,370 W we kept that in there, but I, I realized that when people talk about looking for 450 00:29:29,370 --> 00:29:35,370 and searching for purpose or meaning what they're really looking and searching for. 451 00:29:36,330 --> 00:29:44,820 Is freedom is because when we, when we find ourselves in the place of walking 452 00:29:44,820 --> 00:29:49,770 out our purpose and walking out our meaning, when we find ourselves in 453 00:29:49,770 --> 00:29:56,610 that place and you're in that flow and it's like, you know, you know, you're 454 00:29:56,610 --> 00:29:58,710 doing what you were created to do. 455 00:29:58,710 --> 00:30:03,629 I, I get in those places at different times of my day or my. 456 00:30:04,919 --> 00:30:08,699 And all of a sudden, I have this realization, you know, right, right 457 00:30:08,699 --> 00:30:13,770 now, even as one of those realizations that I'm in, I'm in my sweet spot of 458 00:30:13,770 --> 00:30:18,840 doing exactly what I was created to do at least in this season of time. 459 00:30:21,540 --> 00:30:26,399 And they feel that purpose and they feel that meaning, but the baseline 460 00:30:26,399 --> 00:30:28,169 of what I'm feeling is freedom. 461 00:30:29,445 --> 00:30:30,045 It's freedom. 462 00:30:30,045 --> 00:30:33,315 And lot of times we talk about freedom as it's just like this freedom from the 463 00:30:33,315 --> 00:30:37,575 nine to five, but it's not, we're not looking for freedom from a nine to five. 464 00:30:37,575 --> 00:30:41,325 We're not looking for freedom from work it free from the nine to five. 465 00:30:41,355 --> 00:30:44,175 And you get a 24 7 because you started your own business. 466 00:30:44,175 --> 00:30:50,385 It's more work, but it's freedom is the very thing that we're searching for. 467 00:30:52,665 --> 00:30:52,905 People. 468 00:30:52,905 --> 00:30:56,805 Talk about retiring at 35 or retiring at 22, I'm going to pre. 469 00:30:57,764 --> 00:31:01,395 Move to an island somewhere and sit around and do nothing with the rest of my life. 470 00:31:03,074 --> 00:31:06,284 We think we think that well, that's freedom, but that's not freedom. 471 00:31:07,485 --> 00:31:07,905 Freedom. 472 00:31:07,905 --> 00:31:10,304 Doesn't come from lack of activity. 473 00:31:11,445 --> 00:31:14,415 Freedom comes from truth. 474 00:31:15,554 --> 00:31:17,355 Truth brings freedom. 475 00:31:18,044 --> 00:31:25,845 Freedom brings a sense of purpose and meaning, say that again. 476 00:31:27,705 --> 00:31:31,785 Understanding and living out truth because we can know it here, but 477 00:31:31,785 --> 00:31:38,055 we have to live it out that opens up a door of freedom in our lives 478 00:31:38,055 --> 00:31:39,945 because we're free from the criticism. 479 00:31:39,945 --> 00:31:43,335 We're free from people who slander us and hate us. 480 00:31:43,365 --> 00:31:46,905 We're free from the judgment and the anxiety. 481 00:31:47,055 --> 00:31:51,165 We're free from worrying about where the next meal is going to come from. 482 00:31:52,995 --> 00:31:54,615 And we're able to then walk out. 483 00:31:55,830 --> 00:31:57,720 In purpose and in meaning 484 00:32:00,780 --> 00:32:05,940 one of the ways, one of the truths that we can walk out to step into 485 00:32:05,940 --> 00:32:07,919 freedom is utilizing meekness. 486 00:32:08,700 --> 00:32:14,310 And, and we see it played out in the negative sense where 487 00:32:14,310 --> 00:32:15,930 society has really failed. 488 00:32:17,085 --> 00:32:22,025 To be meek and the way that we raise our children, the way that we cuddled 489 00:32:22,025 --> 00:32:27,645 society and the way that we are being over-protective by a large means, 490 00:32:29,205 --> 00:32:32,115 and we're seeing a not free society. 491 00:32:32,115 --> 00:32:37,605 We are seeing a weak and fragile society rather than a strong society. 492 00:32:37,605 --> 00:32:42,375 And I want to see you build a strong culture in your 493 00:32:42,375 --> 00:32:44,085 personal life, your family, and. 494 00:32:45,540 --> 00:32:50,399 Th the culture of those you lead don't go away. 495 00:32:50,399 --> 00:32:56,370 We will be right back with our closing or not closing, but don't go away. 496 00:32:59,580 --> 00:32:59,909 Yeah. 497 00:32:59,940 --> 00:33:01,050 That makes sense. 498 00:33:01,050 --> 00:33:05,010 In a post-truth society where we have exchange the truth for lies and 499 00:33:05,010 --> 00:33:11,070 reason for postmodern irrationality, the absurd finally makes sense. 500 00:33:11,100 --> 00:33:13,679 And we have a couple of clips for the segment. 501 00:33:14,775 --> 00:33:17,295 And it is sorority. 502 00:33:17,385 --> 00:33:21,735 It truly is quite shocking, but it really does tie back into 503 00:33:22,155 --> 00:33:24,375 this desire and need for safety. 504 00:33:24,435 --> 00:33:26,595 This is the theme that we're talking about today. 505 00:33:26,775 --> 00:33:27,495 Safety. 506 00:33:27,705 --> 00:33:29,085 Do you lose a ton of safety? 507 00:33:29,565 --> 00:33:34,185 Well, in a finished politician, uh, have Priya 508 00:33:39,450 --> 00:33:40,050 I hope I said that. 509 00:33:40,050 --> 00:33:40,320 Right? 510 00:33:40,530 --> 00:33:41,310 Goodness gracious. 511 00:33:41,310 --> 00:33:43,560 I, I always, I don't know if you're like me. 512 00:33:43,830 --> 00:33:47,010 I struggle with names, especially if they're pronounced wrong 513 00:33:47,220 --> 00:33:48,330 and then I get nervous. 514 00:33:48,389 --> 00:33:51,990 And so even though I've practiced the name 20 times, I did this, I would 515 00:33:51,990 --> 00:33:53,730 do this in interviews all the time. 516 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:58,680 I would practice the name for like 10 minutes before actually doing the episode. 517 00:33:59,100 --> 00:34:03,310 And then nearly every episode, even if it's like John Smith, I bought it. 518 00:34:04,740 --> 00:34:08,940 It's neither here nor there, but she is being about to be tried 519 00:34:08,969 --> 00:34:11,159 in Finland for a hate crime. 520 00:34:11,310 --> 00:34:12,719 What was the hate crime? 521 00:34:12,750 --> 00:34:17,340 The hate crime was posting a verse from the Bible and quote unquote, 522 00:34:17,639 --> 00:34:19,739 believing Christian things. 523 00:34:19,739 --> 00:34:24,960 We have a segment of a few clips that we're going to pull out some 524 00:34:24,989 --> 00:34:28,110 nuggets from, but really, as you're listening to this, I want you to think. 525 00:34:28,889 --> 00:34:34,650 About free speech and how the restriction of freedom of speech, the restriction of 526 00:34:34,679 --> 00:34:40,739 debate, the restriction of being able to post something online without having a 527 00:34:41,779 --> 00:34:46,850 filter over it, or without having a tag at the bottom being fact checked all, all 528 00:34:46,870 --> 00:34:52,889 this world, the sensorial world is leading to something and it's, it is to create, 529 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,020 to make sure that we have a safe society. 530 00:34:55,049 --> 00:34:55,560 We need to be. 531 00:34:57,390 --> 00:35:04,049 But maybe it's making a, a gated society or a protected society, but it 532 00:35:04,049 --> 00:35:08,549 certainly isn't making a strong society. 533 00:35:09,690 --> 00:35:16,410 I took a photo from the Bible and posted it in a Twitter and 534 00:35:16,500 --> 00:35:18,509 asked the leadership of my church. 535 00:35:19,620 --> 00:35:26,490 That, how is it possible that what Bible calls, sin and shame you 536 00:35:26,490 --> 00:35:28,800 are now supporting us upright? 537 00:35:30,210 --> 00:35:34,680 And after that some city center made a complaint to police and 538 00:35:34,710 --> 00:35:37,200 police started to investigate that. 539 00:35:37,470 --> 00:35:42,660 And then after that, there were many other criminal complaints 540 00:35:42,660 --> 00:35:47,910 that some citizens made about, uh, a booklet that was written. 541 00:35:48,885 --> 00:35:57,285 Much earlier 2004 and some radio and TV programs there I was talking about. 542 00:35:59,025 --> 00:36:04,695 So the context of the story is here is Maria. 543 00:36:05,385 --> 00:36:11,235 She is a part of a church, the church, all of a sudden says, Hey, we're 544 00:36:11,235 --> 00:36:12,945 supporting this gay pride parade. 545 00:36:12,945 --> 00:36:16,455 We are in support of the prideful people who are. 546 00:36:17,850 --> 00:36:18,509 Full support. 547 00:36:18,810 --> 00:36:20,190 She says, well, wait a minute. 548 00:36:20,279 --> 00:36:20,940 I'm confused. 549 00:36:20,970 --> 00:36:27,480 She, in this interview, she relates how a lot of other politicians and people that 550 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:31,620 she knew in history, her circle began to leave the church that she was a part of. 551 00:36:31,629 --> 00:36:34,680 And instead she decided to speak up and say, wait a minute. 552 00:36:35,009 --> 00:36:41,069 Last thing, last time that I read the holy book of the Christians, the Bible, it said 553 00:36:41,069 --> 00:36:43,650 that this isn't something that we support. 554 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,000 We, we S we see this. 555 00:36:45,625 --> 00:36:53,455 Sin, uh, that's according to the Christian faith, the Jewish faith, the Muslim faith, 556 00:36:54,235 --> 00:37:01,405 all three of the Abrahamic monotheistic faiths view, homosexuality as a sin. 557 00:37:01,975 --> 00:37:07,885 Now, clearly, if this is happening to her in Finland, uh, know. 558 00:37:10,424 --> 00:37:13,904 Me just reposting this insane, this and commentating on this. 559 00:37:14,055 --> 00:37:15,884 You can put me in the same boat boat. 560 00:37:15,944 --> 00:37:17,625 It can put you in the same boat. 561 00:37:17,835 --> 00:37:20,805 If you hold these beliefs really, depending on where 562 00:37:20,805 --> 00:37:21,855 the world ends up going. 563 00:37:21,855 --> 00:37:24,015 But so she speaks out about this. 564 00:37:24,105 --> 00:37:29,384 She posts a picture of a verse from the Bible, and now she's 565 00:37:29,384 --> 00:37:31,964 being charged for a hate crime. 566 00:37:32,174 --> 00:37:35,564 She was, she used to be over the police. 567 00:37:35,564 --> 00:37:36,645 She was an appointed. 568 00:37:37,740 --> 00:37:41,130 Uh, and elected she's a member of parliament in Finland and 569 00:37:41,610 --> 00:37:44,940 she also was over the police. 570 00:37:44,940 --> 00:37:49,590 Well, now the police have pulled her in multiple times to interrogate 571 00:37:49,590 --> 00:37:55,080 her about these posts, about her writings from way back in 2004. 572 00:37:55,980 --> 00:37:58,770 This is what we, this is goodness gracious. 573 00:37:58,770 --> 00:38:00,180 We talked about this. 574 00:38:00,930 --> 00:38:03,910 I don't know how much back in 2020, when we started looking. 575 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,970 The CCP, when we started looking at what they would do in the USSR, the 576 00:38:08,970 --> 00:38:15,150 way that the thought police would work, they would, they would Drudge up. 577 00:38:15,150 --> 00:38:17,160 It's show me the man and I'll show you. 578 00:38:17,210 --> 00:38:18,299 I'll find you the crime. 579 00:38:19,049 --> 00:38:21,120 And they would Drudge up things from years back. 580 00:38:21,150 --> 00:38:23,339 This is the way that cancel culture is working. 581 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,370 You make a post from 10 years ago. 582 00:38:27,720 --> 00:38:31,230 Your enemy is going to find it, Drudge it up and make sure that you get canceled. 583 00:38:31,860 --> 00:38:32,520 Why? 584 00:38:32,730 --> 00:38:35,880 Because we need to have a safe society, a society where 585 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,680 there's not freedom of speech. 586 00:38:38,010 --> 00:38:41,970 There's not three to freedom of thought or freedom of belief. 587 00:38:42,300 --> 00:38:46,560 We need to control society, which is obviously a very 588 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,290 ironic due to the fact that 589 00:38:52,650 --> 00:38:53,400 due to the fact that. 590 00:38:54,645 --> 00:38:55,395 The same thing. 591 00:38:55,725 --> 00:39:02,025 Those who are advocating for no freedom of speech are forcing people 592 00:39:02,025 --> 00:39:06,015 to believe what they believe in that can easily be turned against them. 593 00:39:06,015 --> 00:39:10,785 So here's, here's her story of her being, uh, arrested and 594 00:39:10,785 --> 00:39:13,245 interrogated multiple, multiple times. 595 00:39:13,995 --> 00:39:19,785 I was interim gated by police many times, and those hearings, 596 00:39:19,815 --> 00:39:22,755 they lasted all together about 10. 597 00:39:23,475 --> 00:39:24,315 Or worse. 598 00:39:24,765 --> 00:39:29,055 In fact, the situation was very absurd because, uh, I sat 599 00:39:29,055 --> 00:39:31,065 there with, with the police. 600 00:39:31,425 --> 00:39:36,585 I had the Bible on the table and then the police asked me 601 00:39:36,735 --> 00:39:39,495 questions about, uh, my beliefs. 602 00:39:40,335 --> 00:39:43,935 What do you think about, uh, what apostle Paul. 603 00:39:44,415 --> 00:39:49,635 Is here teaching what you think about this verse, these verses, 604 00:39:49,665 --> 00:39:52,755 where he speaks about homosexual act? 605 00:39:52,815 --> 00:39:58,425 In fact, I, I thought that it was quite a privilege to have this 606 00:39:58,425 --> 00:40:05,025 kind of discussion with the police, because I had many times during this. 607 00:40:06,375 --> 00:40:13,395 At a possibility to tell to the police the message of gospel, what the Bible teaches 608 00:40:13,425 --> 00:40:19,995 about the value of human beings, that all people are created as the image of God. 609 00:40:20,145 --> 00:40:23,265 And that's why they all are valuable. 610 00:40:23,865 --> 00:40:32,325 So, uh, he or she is being interrogated by the police on, on what the Bible says. 611 00:40:33,375 --> 00:40:35,685 Say, Hey, the Bible says this, do you believe it? 612 00:40:35,805 --> 00:40:37,605 The Bible says this, what do you think about this? 613 00:40:39,705 --> 00:40:42,855 It is being interrogation of her faith. 614 00:40:45,005 --> 00:40:47,045 This is the way that Europe is going. 615 00:40:47,045 --> 00:40:53,915 This is the way that the post-Christian society in Europe is going and it is 616 00:40:53,975 --> 00:40:56,225 tending towards and leading towards. 617 00:40:57,555 --> 00:41:02,685 Restriction of freedom of speech, because speech is thought, and if it can 618 00:41:02,685 --> 00:41:04,905 control speech, you can control thought. 619 00:41:05,805 --> 00:41:10,395 Ironically here, she's also pointing out, Hey, within the Judeo-Christian 620 00:41:10,395 --> 00:41:16,365 worldview, because we believe this book, this book teaches us that 621 00:41:16,395 --> 00:41:22,455 every person is valuable, that every individual is made in the image of God. 622 00:41:22,695 --> 00:41:23,655 And this is a. 623 00:41:24,450 --> 00:41:26,069 Eight, a stream of thought. 624 00:41:26,100 --> 00:41:32,069 That seems great on the surface and it recruit early is great, but it is 625 00:41:32,069 --> 00:41:35,040 viewed as dangerous to the determinists. 626 00:41:35,250 --> 00:41:38,069 It's viewed, viewed as dangerous to. 627 00:41:39,225 --> 00:41:44,715 Those who are holding onto a, a Marxist or socialist worldview where 628 00:41:45,135 --> 00:41:48,915 we're really, they say, well, there's no such thing as right or wrong, 629 00:41:48,945 --> 00:41:51,585 good or evil, moral, or immoral. 630 00:41:52,005 --> 00:41:54,045 All there is is power. 631 00:41:54,405 --> 00:42:01,155 And there's no such thing as innocence or guilt, but wrapped up in this world. 632 00:42:02,550 --> 00:42:06,390 Very similar to an Islamic worldview or Judaic worldview wrapped up in 633 00:42:06,390 --> 00:42:11,460 this worldview is the belief and the truth of innocence and guilt. 634 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:16,260 But when that is present, you can't just throw someone in jail. 635 00:42:16,260 --> 00:42:20,100 You can't just do away with a whole swath of people like they did in 636 00:42:20,100 --> 00:42:22,530 China, like they did in the USSR. 637 00:42:22,590 --> 00:42:25,260 Like they have done in Cambodia and POL pot. 638 00:42:26,250 --> 00:42:27,420 This is the. 639 00:42:28,230 --> 00:42:34,799 Cycle that happens in these thoughts are dangerous to the socialist worldview. 640 00:42:34,830 --> 00:42:35,310 She continues. 641 00:42:35,670 --> 00:42:40,500 Uh, it was funny that many people described this 642 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,040 interrogations, that baby calls. 643 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:49,920 Now again, to the police station to give Bible studies to the police, 644 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,089 I could never have imagined. 645 00:42:54,725 --> 00:43:01,325 Uh, for example, when I worked as a minister of interior, uh, who was, 646 00:43:01,415 --> 00:43:08,794 uh, in charge of police, that I would be, uh, interrogated and asked that 647 00:43:08,975 --> 00:43:11,435 kind of questions in police station. 648 00:43:12,125 --> 00:43:14,884 I had heard about this kind of. 649 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:19,690 Interrogations and hearings from the Soviet times. 650 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:26,020 I'm so old that I remember the Soviet times and I could never have 651 00:43:26,049 --> 00:43:28,900 imagined that that happens in Finland. 652 00:43:30,130 --> 00:43:32,859 People think that those Soviet times are long gone. 653 00:43:32,859 --> 00:43:34,930 They're done away with their other surpass. 654 00:43:34,930 --> 00:43:36,130 That won't happen again. 655 00:43:36,250 --> 00:43:38,890 That wasn't real communism, that wasn't real socialism, 656 00:43:38,890 --> 00:43:41,920 that wasn't real progressive as, and we'll do it the right time. 657 00:43:42,370 --> 00:43:44,710 But here we are 2020. 658 00:43:45,735 --> 00:43:50,415 Seeing this happen in a, a free democratic state of Finland. 659 00:43:50,955 --> 00:43:57,225 Now this is, this is the last clip I promise from the segment, but 660 00:43:57,435 --> 00:44:02,685 this is so important in the reason that this is so important is not 661 00:44:02,685 --> 00:44:07,185 because it's a crackdown against the Bible, which that is important, 662 00:44:08,145 --> 00:44:11,595 but because if they can do this in. 663 00:44:13,310 --> 00:44:17,089 It will slowly grow and grow across the world. 664 00:44:17,569 --> 00:44:23,120 And the important lesson to learn here is that freedom of speech is a prerequisite. 665 00:44:24,090 --> 00:44:28,020 For freedom of thought, freedom of thought, and speech is a 666 00:44:28,020 --> 00:44:33,960 prerequisite for developing society and communities forward. 667 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:38,010 If we want to see it in an advancement of technology, we have to have a 668 00:44:38,010 --> 00:44:42,030 freedom of thought, which means we have to have a freedom of speech no 669 00:44:42,030 --> 00:44:44,850 matter where you are in the world. 670 00:44:45,390 --> 00:44:46,440 And this goes both. 671 00:44:47,870 --> 00:44:54,830 This goes for, for people who want to live in a homosexual lifestyle, they 672 00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:58,009 ought to have the freedom to think that. 673 00:44:58,310 --> 00:45:02,720 Do you talk about that to save that they ought to have the freedom 674 00:45:03,890 --> 00:45:08,359 to debate and argue their points. 675 00:45:09,049 --> 00:45:10,810 They ought to have that. 676 00:45:13,100 --> 00:45:16,610 They ought to have that freedom, but that freedom is being taken away. 677 00:45:16,610 --> 00:45:17,990 Here's the last clip. 678 00:45:18,020 --> 00:45:24,650 This is where she's, where she describes with the national prosecutor 679 00:45:25,730 --> 00:45:31,490 said on, in an interview on national TV and Finland about this case and 680 00:45:31,490 --> 00:45:33,410 the ramifications of this case. 681 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:38,535 If it, if she is indeed found guilty of a hate crime, For 682 00:45:38,535 --> 00:45:41,625 posting a picture of the Bible. 683 00:45:42,464 --> 00:45:48,705 The prosecutor general has been in public many times about this case. 684 00:45:49,125 --> 00:45:58,845 And one year ago in interview in housing in Sonoma, uh, CA stated that if is 685 00:45:58,845 --> 00:46:05,325 convicted, it is not necessary to take the Bibles away from the libraries 686 00:46:05,384 --> 00:46:08,535 and it is still okay to cite them. 687 00:46:08,955 --> 00:46:10,484 But what is not okay. 688 00:46:11,295 --> 00:46:18,495 East or agree with the Bible and at the same time, see also compared 689 00:46:18,585 --> 00:46:23,174 to Bible to mind com the Bible is now mine comp ladies and gentlemen. 690 00:46:23,355 --> 00:46:27,525 It is okay to quote it is okay to criticize it, but you can't believe it. 691 00:46:27,795 --> 00:46:28,955 This is, this is the. 692 00:46:29,910 --> 00:46:33,060 Point it is not about freedom of speech. 693 00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:39,149 It is about freedom of thoughts, but in order for us to be able to have freedom of 694 00:46:39,149 --> 00:46:41,759 thought, there must be freedom of speech. 695 00:46:43,350 --> 00:46:49,500 And freedom of thought is the prerequisite to build a thriving community in society. 696 00:46:49,979 --> 00:46:53,069 Because if you can't argue with someone that says, Hey, I think you're wrong. 697 00:46:53,879 --> 00:46:59,040 If you can't argue with this lady and say, Hey lady, I think you're wrong about that. 698 00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,399 Imagine if the tables were turned and in many places across the globe, 699 00:47:02,490 --> 00:47:06,029 the tables are turned, but imagine if the tables were turned and they were 700 00:47:06,029 --> 00:47:08,189 saying, Hey lady, I think you're wrong. 701 00:47:08,220 --> 00:47:08,399 Nope. 702 00:47:08,399 --> 00:47:09,990 You can't say you can't say that she's wrong. 703 00:47:10,140 --> 00:47:11,100 You can't disagree. 704 00:47:11,339 --> 00:47:13,799 You can't have, you can have literature that says you 705 00:47:13,799 --> 00:47:14,700 disagree, but you can't believe. 706 00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,410 People should have the ability to disagree, because 707 00:47:18,410 --> 00:47:21,109 that is how we find truth. 708 00:47:21,140 --> 00:47:25,790 That is how we decipher what is one of the there's many ways, but there's one of 709 00:47:25,790 --> 00:47:28,339 the ways is by seeing, does it hold up? 710 00:47:28,370 --> 00:47:32,420 Does it stand the pressures and the tests and the attacks 711 00:47:32,450 --> 00:47:33,740 and the assaults against it? 712 00:47:33,950 --> 00:47:36,109 Because if it doesn't, then it's not truth. 713 00:47:36,470 --> 00:47:39,980 If it does, then it is truth, which that will lead us to 714 00:47:39,980 --> 00:47:41,330 our Weaver and loom segment. 715 00:47:41,330 --> 00:47:44,150 But before that, this show is brought to you by. 716

728 00:48:38,805 --> 00:48:42,065 strong and resilient communities. 729 00:48:42,065 --> 00:48:46,904 So please, if you are interested, if you're interested, if you're 730 00:48:46,904 -->

back to Weaver Luma, part of the show where we take ancient 736 00:49:12,810 --> 00:49:15,990 wisdom and we weave it in with our everyday lives so that we can. 737 00:49:16,980 --> 00:49:24,300 Own we've our destiny and own our future today's quote is by the one and only 738 00:49:24,330 --> 00:49:31,440 John Milton from his famous speech and, uh, essay, the area of Kinetica, which 739 00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:37,860 was written hundreds back in the 16 hundreds and a timeless piece of work 740 00:49:37,860 --> 00:49:40,170 where he argues against censorship. 741 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:41,690 Now, John Milton was. 742 00:49:42,775 --> 00:49:45,495 He was pro freedom of speech, but he did think that there should 743 00:49:45,495 --> 00:49:47,685 be some restrictions in speech. 744 00:49:47,685 --> 00:49:51,585 You shouldn't really in America, the place where we think freedom of 745 00:49:51,585 --> 00:49:56,265 speech is it, there are still some restrictions in speech, thus being. 746 00:49:57,045 --> 00:50:01,845 I can't just make up lies about you and publish them all over 747 00:50:01,845 --> 00:50:06,134 the internet or in the newspaper that are just blatant untruths. 748 00:50:06,525 --> 00:50:07,484 I can't do that. 749 00:50:07,694 --> 00:50:12,464 So there are restrictions to what you can, and can't say even that 750 00:50:12,615 --> 00:50:17,714 John Milton is arguing, but he does make the argument in this essay. 751 00:50:19,085 --> 00:50:19,935 We've referred to it. 752 00:50:19,935 --> 00:50:23,085 A number of times here on the show, he makes the argument. 753 00:50:24,570 --> 00:50:30,480 If you are going to create a, a culture of censorship, then there comes a point 754 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:35,520 where you can't even have windows on your house because who is going to 755 00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:39,660 censor what you're going to look out and see on the street who is going to 756 00:50:39,660 --> 00:50:43,950 control your every eyes glance or every. 757 00:50:45,315 --> 00:50:47,625 Who's who's going to sensor the sensors right now. 758 00:50:48,495 --> 00:50:51,045 CNN hired fact checkers. 759 00:50:51,165 --> 00:50:53,595 Well, who's going to fact check the fact checkers. 760 00:50:53,595 --> 00:50:55,515 Who's going to fact check the fact checkers, who fact 761 00:50:55,515 --> 00:50:56,535 checking the fact checkers. 762 00:50:56,535 --> 00:50:58,215 It's it's endless. 763 00:50:58,785 --> 00:51:05,145 It really, it comes down to who has the power to decide what is right or wrong. 764 00:51:05,145 --> 00:51:07,875 So what is true and not true. 765 00:51:08,685 --> 00:51:13,215 And what gets censored and what doesn't get censored there recently on the 766 00:51:13,425 --> 00:51:19,215 inter webbings of the big tech social media, people are getting kicked off 767 00:51:19,245 --> 00:51:24,375 of social platforms like YouTube, like Instagram for echoing, for echo. 768 00:51:25,500 --> 00:51:31,230 W H O talking points or echoing or stating what has been stated on the CDC website 769 00:51:31,230 --> 00:51:35,190 and saying, look, even the CDC is saying this even the, who is saying this, but 770 00:51:35,190 --> 00:51:41,190 it's going against, it's building a case, an argument against a certain narrative 771 00:51:41,580 --> 00:51:47,070 that wants to be pushed to create a society that is over protected and 772 00:51:47,130 --> 00:51:51,120 beholden to the governmental institutions. 773 00:51:51,930 --> 00:51:53,730 And so they don't like that kind of shut that. 774 00:51:54,540 --> 00:51:59,610 Rather than there being open debate and open dialogue for individuals 775 00:51:59,850 --> 00:52:04,290 do be able to decide what they want to do with their life. 776 00:52:04,290 --> 00:52:12,150 So here is the, the quote from John Milton through all the wins, though, 777 00:52:12,150 --> 00:52:16,950 all the winds of doctrine were let loose to play upon the earth. 778 00:52:17,970 --> 00:52:19,320 So truth being in the field. 779 00:52:22,125 --> 00:52:26,745 Just beginning phrase of it says, so all, all the winds of doctrine are on the 780 00:52:26,745 --> 00:52:32,505 earth, which also means truth is in the Plainfield truth is on the field as well. 781 00:52:33,525 --> 00:52:39,165 It goes on to say we do injurious mostly by licensing and prohibiting 782 00:52:40,035 --> 00:52:41,654 to miss doubt, her strength. 783 00:52:42,255 --> 00:52:48,015 So imagine you're at a football match, American or world football. 784 00:52:50,075 --> 00:52:54,845 And the best player is on the field, but the referee takes it 785 00:52:54,845 --> 00:52:58,745 upon themselves to say, ah, we got to make sure that truth wins. 786 00:52:59,705 --> 00:53:01,625 We got to make sure that the best player wins. 787 00:53:01,654 --> 00:53:07,745 And in the referee's mind, they have an image of who and what the best player is. 788 00:53:08,134 --> 00:53:09,065 Maybe they know maybe they. 789 00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:15,630 But they begin to license in prohibit based on the person or the player 790 00:53:15,870 --> 00:53:18,540 where the truth that they want to win. 791 00:53:18,900 --> 00:53:25,500 And thus miss doubting the strength of truth myths, doubting her strength. 792 00:53:26,820 --> 00:53:30,600 Milton goes on to finish this quote and it says, let her and 793 00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:35,280 false hood grapple let truth and falsehood grapple with one another. 794 00:53:35,610 --> 00:53:37,470 Whoever knew truth. 795 00:53:38,654 --> 00:53:46,365 Put to the worst and in a free and open encounter, whoever knew truth put to 796 00:53:46,365 --> 00:53:49,515 the worst in a free and open encounter. 797 00:53:50,235 --> 00:53:56,745 Meaning if you let truth and falsehood fight and grapple with 798 00:53:56,745 --> 00:54:01,935 one, another truth will always win because whoever knew truth to lose. 799 00:54:02,535 --> 00:54:04,345 And if it does lose, then is it really. 800 00:54:09,530 --> 00:54:18,590 An interesting in closing, closing thoughts, the Czech Republic essentially 801 00:54:18,590 --> 00:54:21,710 has scrapped mandatory COVID-19 jabs. 802 00:54:22,250 --> 00:54:24,290 Even as it's daily cases get higher. 803 00:54:26,150 --> 00:54:27,230 They've said, you know what? 804 00:54:27,230 --> 00:54:28,430 We still, we still believe. 805 00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,080 That the vaccine works. 806 00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:35,050 We still believe that it's a good idea that you get the job. 807 00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,810 We still believe that this is the right way. 808 00:54:37,810 --> 00:54:43,060 This is what's best for society, but we recognize by mandating it by 809 00:54:43,180 --> 00:54:48,820 forcing it by twisting people's arms to get it by the compulsion that 810 00:54:48,820 --> 00:54:50,860 it's creating a divided society. 811 00:54:51,010 --> 00:54:52,270 And those who are hesitant. 812 00:54:53,415 --> 00:54:55,155 Are becoming more hesitant. 813 00:54:55,245 --> 00:55:00,135 Those are hesitant are becoming more resistant because it's being mandated 814 00:55:00,135 --> 00:55:03,015 because it's being forced upon them. 815 00:55:03,315 --> 00:55:05,235 And so they said, we're doing away with it. 816 00:55:05,235 --> 00:55:07,605 It's just filtering, filtering our society. 817 00:55:07,605 --> 00:55:09,855 It's breaking up our society. 818 00:55:09,885 --> 00:55:12,615 It's not working, it's not helping. 819 00:55:13,545 --> 00:55:15,525 And instead they're saying, here's the truth. 820 00:55:16,035 --> 00:55:17,895 Here's the data do with it? 821 00:55:17,895 --> 00:55:21,075 What you will, what do you think is best for you? 822 00:55:21,075 --> 00:55:21,825 You can decide. 823 00:55:23,214 --> 00:55:27,775 That actually creates much more opening, inviting environment for 824 00:55:27,775 --> 00:55:30,115 someone to say, actually, yeah, I do. 825 00:55:30,174 --> 00:55:32,995 I do kind of, I, I think you might be onto something. 826 00:55:32,995 --> 00:55:42,055 I think I want to do that, but that requires freedom of speech, freedom 827 00:55:42,055 --> 00:55:45,745 of thought and freedom of belief. 828 00:55:45,775 --> 00:55:46,615 Thanks for listening. 829 00:55:48,355 --> 00:55:50,964 If you want to get more out of this. 830 00:55:51,870 --> 00:55:57,480 The way that you get more is by sharing what you have, those who give get. 831 00:55:57,810 --> 00:56:03,450 So do yourself a favor and do your community a favor and share this podcast. 832 00:56:03,450 --> 00:56:07,710 This episode with a friend who you either like, or don't like, it 833 00:56:07,710 --> 00:56:10,470 really doesn't matter, but they are going to feel loved when someone 834 00:56:10,470 --> 00:56:13,170 sends me an episode, I feel love. 835 00:56:14,085 --> 00:56:17,025 Because I know that they're thinking of me when someone sends me a podcast, 836 00:56:17,025 --> 00:56:21,345 not on social media, not, you know, on your stories and says, you know, 837 00:56:21,645 --> 00:56:22,785 it's like, okay, that's great. 838 00:56:23,415 --> 00:56:27,525 But when someone messages me and says, Hey, I listened to this 839 00:56:27,525 --> 00:56:28,845 episode, did you hear this yet? 840 00:56:29,595 --> 00:56:30,255 I feel love. 841 00:56:30,255 --> 00:56:33,975 So love someone today, share this episode with them. 842 00:56:34,155 --> 00:56:37,785 Another way you can support the show by getting my book, anchored the 843 00:56:37,785 --> 00:56:42,005 discipline to stop drifting of this book in time of my life, where all my. 844 00:56:43,365 --> 00:56:45,615 All my algorithms were not working. 845 00:56:46,155 --> 00:56:50,175 And, uh, it is a simple, highly actionable book. 846 00:56:50,205 --> 00:56:55,275 And the things that I write about in this book, very simple principles, 847 00:56:56,025 --> 00:56:58,875 I think about every single. 848 00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:03,510 Probably every single day, but definitely every single week, I just got the book 849 00:57:03,810 --> 00:57:06,420 finished being translated into Arabic. 850 00:57:06,420 --> 00:57:11,310 So we'll have, uh, an Arabic version out to you shortly, including an 851 00:57:11,340 --> 00:57:13,830 Arabic audio version of the book. 852 00:57:13,830 -->

not a safe one, but a strong 855 00:57:28,185 --> 00:57:34,335 and resilient one, because if you can do that, you will equip the next 856 00:57:34,335 --> 00:57:40,035 generation to discern truth, uncover purpose, and own their futures.
