spyPhone takes new steps in combating child abuse (GOOD!) but might lead to more censorial-ship, combating misinformation, and bad actors taking advantage of their opponents.
In Weaver and Loom, we unravel the wonderment of the spiritual, natural, fate, and the divine through mythic and sacred story, biblical parables, ancient fables, and Christ-haunted narratives--getting lost in the mysteries of the our human creation so that we might grope our way to Christ and become illuminated in midsts of the mundane and sufferings of life.
Apple changes the name from
the iPhone to the spy phone.
As we inch closer to an utopian society,
where we can all live in absolute safety,
knowing that the elite rulers know your
every thought, even before you do so you
can sleep soundly at night, knowing that
big tech will use their data to arrest
you long before you know, that you're even
about to do anything, which ultimately
we'll keep you safe from yourself.
Hey, it's Lucas Skrobot and you're
listening to the Lucas Skrobot show where
we uncover purpose pursuit, truth and own
the future episode two hundred and fifty
forty seven, August 8th, 2021 coming to
you from the heart of the middle east.
And it's very hot and very
humid, but it won't stop apple
from making its big moves.
Yes, the iPhone is now officially.
The spyPhone.
Apple announced this week that they
are finally allowing big tech to
and their algorithms to scan your
iPhone photos, anything that's on
the phone that goes up to the cloud.
They, the iCloud, they will begin to
scan those images for child abuse.
So for the evil actors, the very evil
nefarious, wicked debase actors in
the world that are pedaling child
pornography and child abuse photos.
They should be where the issue is.
I highly doubt that they were
going to continue to use this
platform of the, of iOS and iPhones.
Now that they know that this isn't a safe
data protected platform for their photos.
Because if, if I was a criminal,
if I was a criminal, I would say to
myself, Hmm, maybe I shouldn't put
those photos on my phone phone because
they're going to get found out.
They're going to get searched.
And we, a few episodes back, we talked
about these global sting operations
with these encrypted phones that
the FBI also managed to weasel way
into actually manufactured and sold
them, which took down a huge criminal
networks, multiple criminal networks
across the globe, which is awesome.
It's awesome to see governments taking
creative stance, to fight wicked
men and women who are trafficking
children and drugs across the world.
So let's not, let's not be foolish
to say that this is all bad.
I think.
Human trafficking in child trafficking
is one of the, the darkest most
unthinkable wickedest thing that we,
that has existed for thousands of years.
It's not new, but it is something
absolutely that we should fight against.
However, at the same time, this does raise
a lot of questions for a lot of people.
When it comes to, is this going to
turn into a slippery slope where
governments continue to gain more
and more access to your data?
Were privacy becomes more
and more of an illusion?
Well, ironically, apple has founded
itself in base itself and time and time
again, work to prove itself that it was
the phone and the platform for privacy.
In fact, one of their advertisements.
Said what happens on your phone?
What happens on your iPhone
stays on your iPhone?
This is a recent model, uh, motto and ad.
What happens on your iPhone
stays on your iPhone?
Well, now what happens on your spy phone?
It's going to be algorithm reauthorized.
If that's the word it's going to go
through an algorithm, the data's going
to be crunched and your profile is
going to be sent to the powers that be.
Now that is the slippery
slope slope argument.
Will it actually move away from the,
the government and apple looking
for photos of child abuse and
will it actually move on towards.
Let's say then looking at your
photos for misinformation or
scanning, you know, apple has the
ability to scan facial recognition.
Are they going to start looking
through your photos to find out who
are, who are you connected with?
Or if they're looking for a certain
individual, are they now going to be
able to look through private photos, to
be able to find where that individual
is or who had contact with a specific
individual around a certain time?
All of these things are very possible.
Once the door is cracked open, and
even if there are good actors that
are, are fighting things like human
trafficking that open door to their
system can in the future be used for
bad actors, nefarious actors, people who
want to take advantage of your privacy.
And it's happened throughout history
where we're seeing it happen as it is
right now, but let's, let's quickly go
into some of the technical side of how
apple actually plans to scan all these
photos and what it actually means because
on the face of it, it sounds really bad.
It seems like they're going to look
through all of your photographs and,
uh, you you've lost all privacy,
but that's not actually the case.
I think there really could
be enough safeguards to make
the pros and cons worth it.
But, but I do, I do wonder if this opens
the door for a further erosion of privacy
in, in the midst of a world where there
already seems to be a, a, a lack of
privacy and eight increase of censorship.
And those are the two things are
lack of privacy and increase of
censorship, especially around
ideas like misinformation.
Well, how, how does, how
does this technology work?
Well, when you take a photo on your
phone and then it's been uploaded to
iCloud, if you have an iCloud account,
Before it actually uploads to the iCloud,
your image is going to be run through
an algorithm to create a neural hash.
Now, a neural hash, you know, as a read
through the, the apple documentation of
how this process works, it's pretty much
a string of numbers, ones, and zeros that
create a unique ID for every single image.
So if you take an image and you alter it
or crop it or write something on it or
make it black and white, the algorithm
can recognize based on image recognition.
If you're right, I recognize that these
two images are these three images.
Or however many all come from the same
image, no matter what format it's in.
And it creates a, a single
neural hash for that image, even
though it's in multiple formats.
So even though you might crop the image,
you might turn it into black and white.
It would have the same neural hash image,
which uniquely identifies that photo.
After that neural hash is created, that
number is then encrypted, encrypted
into what's called a blind hash.
So apple doesn't actually get
access to the neuro hash number
in their system, their algorithm.
It becomes an encrypted blind hash.
So they don't actually know what image.
That actually is those blind hash
images are then matched against the
child and sex abuse, uh, uh, database.
So there is a, in the dark underworld,
there is a large database of photos,
graphs that are frequently shared in the
dark internet, the dark web among people.
And so these they've collected.
A large library of images of child abuse.
All of those images then are, have
been created into the same system, a
neural hash, which then is encrypted.
And so the blind hashes of your images
are then compared with the blind hashes of
the child, sexual abuse material database,
or it's this C C Sam C S a M database.
And if the numbers match, then
those images will be flagged.
If you're you're blind hash do not
match any of the images that are in the
database, then it flows on through app.
Doesn't see it.
No one sees it.
No one has access to your photograph
unless they match an image that is in
eight standing database of child abuse.
Now the first image or the second
image isn't does it automatically
flag your account, but once you
reach a certain threshold and they
don't say what that threshold is,
then your account becomes flag.
They don't even see, oh, you know, someone
has three strikes against their accounts.
And at the fifth strike
eight becomes flag.
They don't even see that.
They only see once it surpasses the
threshold, then your account is flagged.
Then it sent you a real person who is
only able to open up those select images,
which the blind hashes were a match for.
They open up those images and confirm
that it is images of child abuse.
And then at that point,
your account is flagged.
Your icon cloud account is shut down and
your information is sent to the national
center for missing and exploited children.
So when you look at that process and
that system, you say, well, it's going
to be pretty unlikely that any person
that isn't hiding something is going to
get flagged, but the way the algorithms
work all the above, it's going to be
very, very rare for an individual who
is totally clean, not doing anything
wrong, nothing nefarious is going to
have their images flagged and looked
at by an individual by a human being.
Apple states this in their
documentation, they say nothing is
learned about non matching images.
Even if the device generated, enter
encryption key for the account is
reconstructed based on the above
process, the image information inside
the safety voucher or the, the, the
neural hash and the image itself.
That information for non
matches are still protected by
the outer layer of encryption.
Thus, with a combination of private set
intersections and threshold sharing,
secret sharing apple is able to learn
the relevant images information.
Only once the account has met the
threshold number of CSPAN matches even
then only for the matching images.
So even for the criminals that get
caught with child pornography, the
only images from that database that
apple will actually be able to see
are only the images that are flat.
They are not even able to go and
look at all of the images in their
private database or on their phone.
Only the images that are flagged
once it meets the numbers.
So apple is not.
Running algorithms and doing deep
learning from these images on your phone.
They're not at this point, they're not
tracking facial recognition and all
that, but I'm sure if someone wanted
to, that is a possibility because th
th the amount of data in a photograph,
it's not just the photo that has the
data, but there's a whole level of
metadata, which is on what phone was
it photo taken, who took the photo?
Where was the photo
taken with the geo tag?
The time there's a world of data.
And from one image, you can pretty
much find out the exact location on
the globe that an image was taken.
And that is even if you just
share an image to a friend,
Or post an image online.
All that data normally is, is
packed within the metadata of an
image, which points to something.
I think it should be more startling
for us, which is in many ways, we've
already given up these liberties.
We've already given up these freedoms of
privacy in exchange for the expedience,
the experience technology, the ease
of technology, the ease of connecting.
With one another.
Now the New York times wrote on this
and they, they said this, which I,
I found, uh, insightful relevant.
They said U S law requires tech companies
to flag cases of child sexual abuse,
hand clap for a righteous and just law.
This is a good law.
Apple well has historically flagged
fewer cases than other companies.
Last year, for instance, apple reported
265 cases to the national center
for missing and exploited children.
Wow.
Facebook reported 20.3 million Facebook
reported 20 plus million cases in
2022, the national center for missing
and exploited children, apple 266.
Which does say something about their
privacy rules and regulations versus
something that you're posting or an
evil actor is posting on Facebook.
And it says that these evil actors,
they are not just on the dark web.
They're not just hiding in their
encrypted tunnels, but they're actually
using platforms like Facebook, which
should be, uh, at this point, open
source knowledge to know that that
information it's not staying there,
it's going to the authorities.
It's going to get reported.
The New York times goes on to say
that enormous gap is due in part to
Apple's decision, not to scan for
such material setting users' privacy.
So this is, you know, this is not just
a cut and dry, well, this is a bad,
a bad decision, a bad move by apple.
They are.
Working to fight against evil nefarious,
men and women who deserve to go to
jail for the rest of their lives,
who are exploiting children, who are
trafficking young boys and young girls,
20% of people who are trafficked in the
United States, at least 20% are males.
And the average age of the last
statistic that I saw, the average
age into trafficking, human
trafficking, sex trafficking is
between the ages of 11 and 13.
I believe.
So that means there's
kids younger than that.
Whore brought into this.
It's a horribly dark world and I
am actually am glad that people
will be thrown in jail and the
world would be made a safer place.
Lord willing in child law
because of these laws.
However, There's the other side.
When we give up safety, we are exchanging
parts of our liberties and we're opening
a door for abuse of the liberties of
men and women who are totally innocent,
but may have a worldview or may have
an agenda, or may stand against evil
actors who want to destroy them,
who wants to throw them in jail.
And this is, it happened historically
in the past, in the USSR.
And it can it's happening now, the
New York times also, I reported
in the same articles to say the
New York times reported this year.
The apple had compromised its Chinese
users, private data in China and
proactively censored apps in the
country in response to pressure
from the Chinese government.
So just because apple is doing
one thing in America doesn't mean.
That now, or at a future date there
aren't going to protect, or they're
not going to continue to protect
the data of the normal citizen.
And right now, right now, what we're
seeing across the tech world, Twitter,
YouTube, Instagram, any, any tech platform
we're seeing the use of quote unquote
miss information, which is any information
that goes against or criticizes or ask
questions to raise legitimate questions
of the establishment of the, the,
the narrative and the powers that be,
even when you, even when people are
quoting data, put out by the CDC that
contradicts maybe a national policy.
Those people are getting flagged
on, on Twitter and getting
their, their accounts suspended.
Even, even now, when people are
saying that a man in this is a man
and a woman is a woman, men, men
can not give birth to children.
Men can not lactate that.
That is now that's misinformation.
That's hate crime.
So this, this could easily, this could
easily be used as the backdoor for
nefarious actors or governments who want
to spy on their citizens, not to catch
trafficking criminals, but to catch people
that maybe have a view that is contrary
to a, a political or sociological or
ideological stance of, of the state.
Whatever state that might be.
And this is, this has
happened in the past.
This has happened all throughout the USSR.
And as we just read, this is,
this happened across China,
th th going back the end of our privacy
in the digital realm, we, we feel
it in moments like these, but really
by and large, it is an illusion.
Our privacy is an illusion.
If we're using these, these apps and
platforms like YouTube, like Facebook
tick-tock, uh, Instagram fear, our
profiles being used against us.
If we're using credit cards, credit cards,
there are profiles being created about us.
And that data is for sale to
third parties and the back
doors to all of these systems.
Indeed exist.
Even if, even if apple doesn't create
a backdoor, our phones can be hacked
without you even having to click on
a malicious link, they can get access
to your phone, whether that is an
Android or an iPhone, people who want
to access what you say, what you think,
what you've read, they really can.
And there are people who really truly have
motive to sensor and stop and control.
What you think, what you say and
who do you interact with now, along
with this, uh, update the apple.
They also released it, which is, again,
it's a, it's, it's a mixed bag on this,
but they released a new update as well.
That gives protection protection, uh,
against miners from receiving nude,
receiving, or sending nude images.
So if you have a family plan with your
children on that family plan, they
are now able to flag an image before
your, your minor under 13 child before
they send or receive a nude image.
And so they are able to scan this data,
this algorithmic metadata, and do that.
Information to say, this
is actually a nude photo.
This is sensitive information
and they can flag it.
So before the kid can even see
it, they're getting a notification
saying, this could be sensitive.
Are you sure you want to see it?
And they say, it's your choice, but
your parents want to know you're
safe and they can say, show the
photo or don't show the photo.
And the parent would be alerted
that their child just received a
photo with sexually explicit images,
which is in some ways, this is
really great because there are sick.
There are sick perverted people
on the internet that pose as, as
young young girls or young guys.
And then they prey on minors and minors.
And the numbers.
If you start looking at the numbers
of stories that are out there of,
of the amount of abuse use that has
happened, or situations where girls
get trafficked or actually meet up with
someone who turns out to be 40, even
though it turns out to be a 40 year old
man where they really posing as a 14
year old girl, it is it's disgusting.
So in some ways this is really good
that parents are then able to control
and keep their children safe in a world
where the phone is a dangerous place
in a world where a kid is only two or
three clicks away from, from either
making a decision to meet someone that
ends them up in trafficking and or
clicking on viewing content, clicking
on content or engaging in activity that
young kids could essentially be damaged.
Uh, and shamed for the rest of their life.
So that's also then begs the question,
will this be used in the future?
Does this then crack an open door
that even though apple is not viewing
these images, but they're able
to sensor these images and we're
seeing these, we're seeing these
alerts all over social media today.
Every single post, it seems there's
a little tag at the bottom saying
this could be misinformation.
Here's a fact check of why the fact
checked or the fact check was wrong here.
This, this is sensitive content.
There's now your options to say, well, how
much sensitive content do you want to see?
Who's controlling that who wore
the sensors that are controlling,
that maybe this is a good
thing for our children today?
Yes.
Will it morph into further and
further sensorial ship where now we
can set a setting on your phone and
say, please alert me before someone
sends me a fake news screenshot,
please alert me before someone
sends me a possibly offensive meat.
Are we moving to a place that is so safe
that we're giving up all of our rights
and liberties, where we turn into what
really was the USSR, where everyone
is being spied on and, uh, through
technology, through, through their
family, their letters were being read
and people were going to concentration
camps because they were under the
suspicion of having, uh, ideological
beliefs that opposed the communist party.
Well, back to apple to
close up the segment.
Apple had a, a great ad all the way
back in 1984, classic famous ad of,
uh, a dystopian society were this young
Olympian looking woman runs through
the, the gray, uh, scenes of mindless
men staring at screens and, and, and
communist ask, uh, military groups.
Chasing after her.
And she throws her hammer and destroys
the, the, the, the, uh, the screen.
And then apple says this at the
end of their clip, I'm going
to play this 22nd clip for you.
Screen explodes on January 24th,
apple computer will introduce
Macintosh and you'll see why.
1984, won't be like 1984 back in
1984, apple vowed that essentially
said we're breaking that 1984.
And in 1984, a book by George
Orwell wrote in, uh, 1959.
I believe.
He, he wrote in detailed how technology
creates this sensorial state and
he didn't write it out of thin air.
It wasn't just out of a fantasy.
Orwell used to be actually a
huge proponent of socialism
and the communist party.
But then over the decades, his eyes
became more and more opened to see
the, the destruction that these Marxist
socialist communist ideas brought.
And he overtime turned to be very
opposed to that ultra collectivist, a
worldview of socialism and communism.
And that's where he wrote the famous
book, 1984, where it pretty much even
your thoughts, everything that you did
was watched and tracked and you more
or less head, a social credit score.
Now a social credit score.
It's happening already and we're
seeing further moves to that.
It's not, yeah, just happening in China.
And we're going to play you a
clip describing how the social
credit score happens in China.
But we're seeing that even
now with vaccine passports.
Now, if you have done your
risk assessment and you decided
I am going to get a vaccine.
Great, good.
You did your risk.
Successment you took the decision as an
adult and you decided to get the jab.
I don't, I don't think
it's the mark of the beast.
There's a lot of conspiratorial
ideas out there, but if you did your
risk assessment and you said, you
know what, I'm young, I'm healthy.
I don't feel like this is a risk
that I'm willing to take, or, um,
I want to wait until I see more
data before it's FDA approved.
I'm just going to wait a little longer.
I understand that point of view too.
It does feel very crazy that people
are being mandated to take a vaccine
that has not been approved by the FDA
as of this point on August 8th, 2021.
And it's still being only used
under emergency authorization use.
And yet.
People are saying, well, if you
don't get it, you shouldn't be
able to go to the grocery store.
You shouldn't be able to go to work.
You shouldn't be able to leave your home.
And there, there people in the streets
across France, across the UK, across
Australia, protesting saying, we
do not want this level of control.
We do not want to have to be subjected
to show our papers are digital, you
know, be been screening COVID passport
to get into the supermarket because what
does that data going to be used for?
Remember they said that the contact
tracing data on our phones was only
going to be used for, for COVID.
And yet in Perth, they use it
that data to track criminals.
And the police said, yeah, well,
So these are not merely, uh, uh,
baseless fears that people are
throwing out or conspiratorial things.
There is a legitimacy to it, uh, that
it isn't, it is not about whether
you get the vaccine or not, but it
is about the authoritarian overstep,
totalitarian overstep that moves us one
step closer to that dystopia to that
utopia, depending on what you think.
Of a social credit score
where the government knows
everything about your life.
Well, that is already happening in China.
Here is a somewhat, it's a two minute
clip, um, from NBC nightly news that
they do a great job talking about what
is happening and what the, the social
credit score currently is in China.
And then we'll extrapolate a little
bit more on how we're seeing that
be going to be a possibility that
we might see elsewhere in the world.
Everywhere.
She goes, oh, young, how you is
followed, what she buys, how she
behaves is tracked and scored to show
how responsible and trustworthy she is.
It's called the social credit system.
And in one version now being tested
a person's reputation is scored
on a scale of three 50 to nine 50.
And how you with a good score
of 7 52 is okay with it.
In fact, most people are, it's
a mechanism like pushes you
to become a better citizen.
Now, this is true.
Uh, as, as the proverb goes, it's the
fear of God that keeps us from evil.
And the fear of God is
the beginning of wisdom.
Even Thomas Aquinas,
the famous philosopher.
Uh, who is, uh, you know,
uh, a far removed student of
Aristotle talks about this.
He talks about how human laws or
laws can be powerful enough to coerce
even the most easily disposed men
and women in the direction of virtue.
And that that laws are directed always
for the common good and to promote virtue
on top of that, as Aristotle pointed
out, many people are kept from committing
crimes because of fear of the law.
And Thomas Aquinas accepts this and even
suggest that by coercion, even evil men
who are disposed to do wicked things.
May turn and lead a life in the
direction of virtue, which is, this
is the argument that is being made
right now in this clip in China
saying, I think that this is a good
thing that pushes people to be better.
This is the rationality, the hind it,
the clip with MSN with NBC goes on big
brother, expanding how the government
monitors understands and ultimately
controls it's 1.4 billion citizens.
Thanks to advances in artificial
intelligence and facial recognition and a
web of more than 200 million surveillance
cameras bothered by privacy concerns,
Alyssa, and it's a lot of Cameroon.
Keep the safety is really good.
We can accept it.
So now we have technology where every
person, their facial recognitions
being tracked, their cars are being
tracked around around cities with 200
million cameras watching every move.
And from that, the argument is, well,
it's a public place, their safety, and
this creates a safer place where people
will be deterred from committing crime.
Again, the fear of the law,
turning people to create, uh,
to lead a more virtuous life.
And these are experimenting with the
algorithms to help the government create
the new national social credit system.
The government also has pilot projects
in one citizens are required to do hours
of unpaid work to get benefits and scores
are docked for things like littering,
a messy yard gossip, even jaywalking
video of offenders is shown on the local
news and information collectors like
July ne are paid to report on their
neighbors, her quota, 10 entries a month.
Myo Jinja shows like the man who carried
a drunk person home, a good deed.
She says, good social credit gets
rewarded with perks like cheap
loans and travel deals, but a bad
score means public shame and worse
so there are, there's an argument
that they're being is being built.
Is that okay?
Well, if we.
Can see everything that people are
doing and we can track all this.
Well, then we can know where there's
crimes, but it goes beyond that into
saying, if you agree with the, if you
are, are what we consider a good member
of society, then we will give you a
better score and that better score.
We'll give you a better credit score that
for instance, or did you, uh, maybe a
better loans or rewards or recognition
and the failure to be a good citizen
or the failure to go along with the
party line results in a negative score.
If you're criticizing, uh, the
party line just as happened in
the USSR, if you're criticized.
Well, then you are deemed, uh, you
know, your score gets docked and
you do not have permission to have
free movement lost a court case.
And didn't pay now he's
on a government blacklist.
Beautiful.
I can't buy airplane or train tickets.
He says, and the list goes on.
Being discredited makes it hard to
get a job or put kids in top schools.
So now there's a fear that, well, if I
speak out against something that will
dock my credit score and that will hurt my
kids' future, my kids won't be able to get
into the school or I might lose my job.
I might not be able to get a promotion
because of my social credit score.
So it acts not just against
crime, but it's controlling
every aspect of your life.
I mean, does this, and it certainly
could, and probably does breach into
how much you exercise, how healthy food.
You eat.
And there there's a level of, uh, of
legislating just in righteous laws,
but there is also a level that, that is
correct within, uh, governments across
the world of letting people be individuals
to make bad decisions, whether it's
with their health, whether it's with
exercise, with sport drinking theory,
there is a, a level of tolerance there
that governments say, yeah, you know what?
We recognize that this is bad for you.
And we're going to tell you that
drinking, you know, 50 courts or
gallons or whatever of soda every
week is going to destroy your body,
but you have the freedom to do that.
And yet you still have the freedom to be
a part of society, but now we're moving
away from that and saying, well, if
you don't follow what we deem is right.
You are going to lose the ability
to function as a, an autonomous
and free individual in society.
So credit system will
go nationwide next year.
And few here are willing to criticize it.
Something that may pose a risk itself
for a bad score and the life that,
and that's the thing you no longer
have any ability to criticize, to
criticize those that hold the power
or the system that holds the power.
Because if you do, you'll lose your credit
score or you you'll lose your standing.
And this is what happened
all across the USSR.
If people were to turn off their
televisions before or the, or the radios
before all the accolades of stolen, which
would last for minutes, minutes at the
end of programs, if they turned it off,
their neighbors, Would report just like
here, they do report to the secret police
and they would get called in and arrested
and sent to a Gulag for a concentration
camp for hard labor for 25 years.
And then what happens the next week?
The person that turned
them in also gets sent.
Why?
Because there's an association, they
know each other, they were neighbors.
And therefore the neighbor
that turned them in must have
had some sentiment as well.
The way the place that this has led
historically in the past of this
really 1984 world, where there's
control down to the minute detail of
your life, that can be argued to say,
well, this is protecting society.
This is encouraging people
to live in the right way.
It can also be used against people
who have a political view or stamp.
Or moral view or stance or religious
view or stance, just like many people in
China right now, the leaders who have an
ethnic identity that is seen as a threat.
Do we really want to go
down that road as a society?
Because it is, it is, as we said,
is the fear of the law, the fear of
punishment that keeps us away from
breaking laws and being evil people.
And yet it is the love of God for us, his
kindness for us that leads us to do good.
That leads us and causes change in
us to walk rightly to walk justice.
To walk humbly, to walk meekly, to
serve one another, to make better
choices and decisions with our life.
Not our love for him, but his love for us.
And this is this idea that it's
the fear, the fear of punishment.
It keeps us from evil, but it
doesn't drive us to doing good.
And that's where I see these social
systems and credit systems falling short.
Is it it's not going to drive us.
There might be some incentives, but it
won't ultimately drive us doing good,
but it is, it is a system of freedom,
a system of love that drives us to.
Becoming the people, the ideal
people that we want to be filled
with patience and kindness and peace.
Yeah.
That makes sense.
Yeah.
That makes sense.
In a post-truth society where we
have exchanged truth for lies and
reasons for postmodern irrationality,
the absurd finally makes sense.
And what's absurd is for a YouTube
being so sensorial taking down videos,
blocking people left and right.
They are very one-sided about it.
And there are very open to promote
their ideologies, which of course every,
every platform every person wants.
Promote what they believe over the
other, other, other viewpoints, which
they are now actively censoring,
whether along the lines of quote unquote
misinformation or along the lines
of hate speech, for instance saying
that a man is a man end of story.
There are two, two gender identities.
There's two genders, male and female.
Well, that is, that is hate speech.
And it's definitely not what
YouTube wants to promote.
The, the admission oral truth of,
uh, Purity and wholesomeness of
YouTube, uh, well on Twitter this
week, they, they were promoting a
podcast called man enough podcasts.
And, uh, well, I'm going to play a bit
of the clip that they were promoting
with, uh, a trans activists at eight
o'clock I'm non binary, which means
it's not just that I'm challenging
the binary between male, female,
man, woman, but between us and them.
And in your statement, you said,
why don't I help them as if the
struggle is not your struggle too?
The reason you don't fight for me
is because you're not fighting for
yourself fully and any movement
that's trying to emancipate men from
the shackles of heteropatriarchy or
emancipate women from traditional
gender ideology has to have trans and
non binary people at the forefront.
Because we are actually the most
honest we're tracing the root.
Where did these ideas of
manhood and womanhood come from?
They're the most honest, so,
so here's a trans activists.
If you, if you, if you're listening
on a podcast certified 2.0 app, you'll
see an image of this trans man who
identifies as fave them, gender,
non binary, nonconforming, and, uh,
talking about how even you or I we're
actually unbeknownst to ourselves.
We're, we're oppressed.
We're caught up in a lie.
We're not living out our authentic
selves, but who is the most authentic
bullets, the trans community.
They are the most authentic.
They're the most honest.
But when you look up, I mean, honesty,
when you, when you hear the word
honesty, you think of moral character,
you think of things like integrity
and truthfulness straight forwardness,
and it comes back down to in society
today, this putting on a pedestal of
authenticity, everyone needs to be, be
your authentic self, trust your feelings.
Only you can know your truth and this,
this exaltation of authenticity, it's
actually not a virtue and honesty without
discretion is not a virtue either.
If you're always honest with your
feelings and you do it ever, you desire
that doesn't lead to a virtuous life.
If I was, or if my wife was always
honest with your feelings and I was
always honest with my feelings and I
just let my feelings run wild without
taking my emotions and my thoughts under
control and taking those things captive
and disciplining myself to say, no, I
want to actually be a virtuous person.
That the moment that I am frustrated
at someone I'm not going to explode
in my honesty and yell at them, or
the moment that I am struggling or
doubting have a moment of doubt, maybe
in marriage, I'm not just going to
leave and be like, well, you know,
I'm just following my honest feelings.
It does not produce virtue.
This I, this is acceptation of honesty.
Even when people say, well,
I'm just being honest.
And then they follow up with a horrendous,
rude and undercutting statement.
They say that phrases, I'll be honest
as if it's justifies a rudeness or
justifies crassness or justifies, uh,
whatever position they might be probably
getting, because it's your authentic self.
So how can you, how can you criticize?
How can you criticize that
come from a binary structure?
And so that's why people like me who
are visibly gender nonconforming are
both feminine and masculine and none
of the above, we experienced the brunt.
Of all of these collective
fantasies that were created
that are killing other people.
They experienced the brunt of all
these collective fantasies that were
created that were killing other people.
The collective fantasy that is being
discussed here is that there are
two genders, male, and female, which
is what a large percentage of the
world across the globe believes.
When you look at the three main
monotheistic faiths, Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam, which that makes
up about when nearly two thirds of the
world's population, God created them male
and female, but these are now considered
social constructs that are, as he said,
quote, killing people, killing me.
This is, this is what, this is the
product of many things, but it's a product
of soft society of a society that has
grown so much in comfort and so much in
self-indulgence that we have to continue
to push our ideas of, of transcending
to find meaning, to find purpose, to
do, to find something, to fight for
because all of our needs are met.
All of our physical needs in the
life of comfort that we live.
So we continue to push the bounds
of how to differentiate ourselves.
And when we, when we Meldon the
postmodern world and worldview,
where there is no such thing, as
reason, there's no such thing as true
Ruth, where there's no such thing as
objective morality where there's no
such thing as morality, it's only power.
And built into this post-modern worldview.
The goal is to undermine Christian
Judeo values that says a man should be
married to a woman and have children.
And this is the healthy way because why,
because that creates generational wealth.
And that creates private land
ownership, which the communism
postmodernism, they hate fat.
They hate that they want to undermined
that aspect of humanity is clipped
goes on, that are also killing us.
It just looks different.
And so one of the things that
I try to do in my work is.
Don't show up for me because you want
to protect me or you want to help me.
I don't need your help.
I have an unshakeable and irrevocable
sense of who I am because I am divine.
I come from people who were exterminated
and targeted by colonists because
the gender binary and we can get
into this was super imposed on black
people, indigenous people and people
of color by European colonists.
And the reason that they targeted us
is because they knew our power, right?
So the reason that there's so much
animus against me is because of my power.
I don't need to be okay.
Pause right there.
First.
They said, he said, trans people.
And this is something that you hear
often I've seen billboards that says, you
know, give your ties, give your money to
trans people because they are divinity.
They are divine, which is this idea
that they are as if they are the shamans
of our age that have transcended the
bounds of, of human social constructs
and the lies that we live in.
And they are the ones that are
pointing us to, to the, the upward
morality and, and true freedom.
That's not based in truth, but it's
based in, uh, that the absence of truth,
where it's the actual exchanging the
truth for a lie where that lie is you
are anything that you want to be, that
there is no such thing as morality.
There's no such thing as
good and evil is only.
Power is only power.
And he also says in this clip, he
mentions how that for thousands of years,
it wasn't the case that the normative
family was male, female kids, which we
talked about even on last episode, 246,
I believe where we talked about how
it's a relatively new idea that wasn't
so six, 700 years ago when Christianity
really began to push these normative
values that says pedophilia is wrong.
That said that, that, you know, they
said that one man should be married
to a woman and they should have
kids at that is the normal family.
They said that no matter what class
you are in, you have the same rights.
And therefore you can't have a
mistress on the side that that's wrong.
But these were the, the
Greek ideas that it was okay.
It was okay to just use
your body, how you wished.
So he's he's right in saying that across
cultures and across society, it is a
new idea and it was pushed by C said
colonialism, but it's not that new.
It's just, hasn't been widespread.
And when it comes to gender conforming,
you look again at the three Abrahamic
monotheistic, faiths of Judaism,
Christianity and Islam in all three,
going back 4,000, some years, the father
of these faiths, Abraham, he received
the law that said don't cross dress.
The cross dressing is an
abomination that this it's ungodly.
It should not have.
And, and there was a, a small potent
culture that grew and now has become what
we called normative family values, which I
believe has helped propagate and grow and
fuel the economic and the technological
developments that we have seen over the
last few hundred years, which have been
extraordinary because when you have a, a
tight family values, tight family, where
you know your children and you can pass on
your wealth from generation to generation,
that focus of thought and concentration
creates a flywheel, creates a ratchet
that over time things begin to multiply.
Knowledge learning technical technological
advances begin to multiply, but it is.
And that tends towards a
capitalistic system, which of
course they want to destroy.
He goes on my store.
I don't have anything to prove
what I want us to rephrase the
conversation is, are you ready to heal?
And I don't think the majority of
people are ready to heal, and that's
why they repress us as trans and gender
variant people, because they've done
this violence to themselves first.
And that's, that's the
biggest idea, right?
It's you are oppressed, you did this
violence to yourself and therefore
you don't want to see that you've
done this violence to yourself.
And that the, the, the reality that you're
living is actually a lie and your, the
one you straight CIS gendered person,
you're the one that really needs to hear.
But you're resisting it because you're
the one that inflicted upon it yourself.
It's these are the same arguments that,
that you hear about, you know, your
internal white suppression and how,
uh, Asian people are, have internalized
white suppression and supremacy.
And there such as rationality are
showing up on time that these are
using reason or logic, that these
are things of, of power and supremacy
that are used to oppress people.
When nothing could be
further than the truth.
They're actually used to empower
people from the chains of poverty,
because there's not one system that
has brought more people out of poverty.
Then the ideas of, of capitalism,
rationality, and the scientific method.
This has empowered billions
of people to escape.
But, uh, you know, it's not all sunshine
and daisies, uh, for this gentleman.
When you talk about what sort
of freedom he, he wants to see.
Well, you can look at an old Facebook
post of his, which was taken down,
uh, and we can see why he wrote this.
I believe in a radical notion
that little girls, like the
rest of us are complicated.
People.
There are no fairytales
and no princesses here.
Little girls are also queer trans
kinky, deviant kind, being beautiful,
ugly, tremendous, and peculiar.
Your kids aren't as straight and narrow
as you think they are like everybody else.
I've been a cute little girl.
Okay.
And gender nonconforming, young adult.
Let me tell you everywhere
along that spectrum, I've
been complicated and strange.
Here he is.
Sexualizing young girls as kinky
and deviant is this, the society
is this, is this the purity that
we want to build within a society?
Do we, is this what we call honesty?
We, we have, we have lost, we have
lost the moral bearings on this ship.
And sadly it is, is not just confined
to Hollywood and the west, but th
these ideas, these are being put.
Just flat off, across, across the globe.
I went and what beyond just the clip
that YouTube chaired on Twitter.
And I actually listened to most of
this podcast I suffered for you.
And so I have two more shorter
clips, uh, on from him on this.
And here here's a clip talking
about ideology versus compassion.
Yeah.
We're always going to mess up because
we are indoctrinated into a world that
teaches us ideology, not compassion.
Mm w ideology not compassion.
This is, this is clever phrasing
for a world that teaches us reason,
rationality and truth, and, and a moral
compass that there is eternal moral law.
And when we throw that out, it is
impossible to have real compassion.
Compassion is not, you can
just stay as you are live, as
you are do what you'd like.
That is not compassion.
Compassion is I see that you are hurting,
that you are in need, and I can reach
out my hand in compassion, not to let
you stay there and to keep you there.
But you call you up into truth to
call you up into your identity,
to call you up into who you were
created to be so that you can heal.
That is compassion.
Healing is compassion, but
the way that they talk about
healing is it's not about actual.
Healing on the heart soul
mind embody their talk.
The healing that they're talking about
is throwing off the hetero patriarchal
systems that are, are, are binding your
mind and keeping you from seeing, uh,
and experiencing true, true freedom.
But this is not compassionate at all.
This is not compassionate at
all this one last clip for this
segment with, uh, a lo a lock.
On what true freedom is, according
to, according to today, what we don't
recognize is that true freedom is going
to be uncomfortable because when you
were so conditioned into this perpetual
status of our unfreedom, that calcifies.
And so people think that what is natural
and what is reality is actually a prison.
And what I'm actually trying
to say is the only gender rule
is that there are no the rules.
The only gender rule is
that there are no rules.
This is not, this is not truth.
And this is not freedom.
This is confusion where there
is where there is truth.
There is freedom and
where there is freedom.
There is not confusion.
There is not confusion.
And all that we see from this
movement is confusion, which
tells us that it's not rooted in
rationality and morality or truth.
It's rooted in deception.
It's rooted in twisting an individual's
identity, their original design, why
they were, who they were born as,
why would they replace on this earth?
And that twisting causes confusion.
And that is not freedom is truth.
That sets us free, that the truth
of immutable eternal laws and
in realities that sets us free.
The truth that, as we said before, man
was created male and female that's.
That is a binary.
Yes, there are intersex people, but there,
there are, but that does not mean that
that was the original design of humanity.
And the reason that all of this
is not compassion is because
it leads to more confusion.
And that confusion leads to destruction.
Jordan Peterson tweeted, uh,
this week about, about this,
very, about this very topic.
He said, mark, my words.
This is from August 3rd, 2021,
a very large portion of the
instances on the distinction between
gender and sex is undiagnosed.
And self-serving narcissism.
The distinction that a very large portion
of the insistence on the distinction
between gender and sex is undiagnosed and
self-serving and parenthesis narcissism.
But by the time this is revealed
clinically many medical careers and
innocent lives will be destroyed.
And this is true.
Because it is confusion.
It is self-seeking narcissism in
many of the cases, a large proportion
of the cases, any just destroying
innocent lives and is going to end
up destroying many medical career.
So this show is brought to you
by listeners like you, this
show's not brought to you by
big mega corporate sponsors.
Like the podcast that ELAC was on.
But if you get value out of the show, and
I'm assuming that you do, since you're
an hour in and you're still around and
still listening, then I asked that you
would think about giving value back to
the show and the value that you got out
of it, whether that's $1 $50 or a hundred
dollars to support the show and keep it on
the air and keep us improving our content
to better serve you and the thousands
that tune into the show every month.
Thank you.
We would not be here with out.
You don't go away.
Oh, how can you listen?
How can you, how can you support
the show as a producer of the show?
Well, you can do so by visiting
Lucas SCRO bot.com, or you can get
a Bitcoin streaming app, whether
that be breeze, pod, friend,
or Sphinx, and you can load up.
Wallet with Bitcoin Satoshis
and you can stream as you can
stream SATs 1 cents and 2 cents.
As you listen to the show, don't go away.
We will be right back with our
closing Weaver and loom segment.
Welcome act Weaver Luma, part of
the show where we take ancient
wisdom and we leave it in with our
everyday lives so that we can own
our future and weave our destinies.
Today's quote is by Alexander , who
wrote in the book, the Gulag
archipelago power is a poison
well-known for thousands of years.
If only no one were ever to
acquire material power over others.
But to the human being who has faith in
some force that holds dominion over all
of us and who is therefore conscious
of his own limitations, power is not
necessarily fatal for those however,
who are unaware of any higher sphere.
It is a deadly poison for them.
There is no antidote when Alexander
social needs sin is, is writing in
the Gulag archipelago about the USSR,
communism, Marx and Engels fourth
bright in the writings declared.
There is no God, there is no morality.
There's only power.
It's only those who have
power and those who don't.
And the, the fallout of that ideology
was that well, if there's no,
God, then there's only material.
And if there's power, then we need
to use that power to create an
equal society, quality of outcome.
But what happened was it, it it's one,
in some many ways we're seeing today
because there is no dominion over us
where we believe that there is not
a final day of judgment or a moral
standard that we are being held by.
Well, then there, then power really is a
poison that corrupts through and through.
And there is no antidote for it.
This is the reason that many
people have fears about what,
what these changes to apple makes.
This is why people have fears about
what does it mean if we move to a
society of vaccine passports, this
is why people have, have concerns.
And this is also why we talk
so much about God on the show.
I there's been times super, like, why,
why are you, why are you bringing up God?
Why, why are you talking
about God on the show?
Well, it's because it's
because we had forgotten God.
It's because we've stopped talking
about the moral plumb lines.
And because we've stopped talking
about these more plumb lines that hold
society together, we've, we've we've
are falling into the very same traps
and the very same issues that we read
in the Gulag archipelago of people
getting turned in by their neighbors,
people getting, getting 25 years.
For, for silly crimes of just trying to
eat where people were, where anything that
went against the established narrative
of those that was deemed misinformation,
and that was deemed hate crimes.
And that was, uh, worthy of
decades in hard labor camps.
Are we there yet?
No.
Is it necessary?
100%, a slippery slope to that?
No, but we are all ready, seen
it and Alexander's social needs.
And also he writes that over half a
century ago while I was still a child.
I recall hearing a number of old
people offering the following
explanation for the greatest disasters
that have been fallen in Russia.
Men have forgotten God.
That is why all this has happened.
He goes on to say, since then I've
spent well nigh 50 years working on the
history of a revolution in the process.
I have read hundreds of books, collected
hundreds of personal testimonies.
I have contributed eight volumes of
my own towards the effort of clearing
away the rebel left by that upheaval.
But if I were asked today to formulate as
concisely as possible, the main cause of
the ruinous revolution that swallowed up
some 60 million of our people, 60 million,
I could not put it more accurately
then to repeat men have forgotten God.
And that is why all of
this happened when we.
Do away with God.
And we worship ourselves and we become
self sinking narcissistic, and we forget
the eternal moral order that orders the
universe and our worlds and, and humanity
that we will all be judged on in one day
then w we w we suffer and we reap
the consequences of our decision.
We will reap the consequences in
our personal life and in society.
The reason that we speak of it so much
here is because the mainstream media
refuses to use because they don't.
Because if we, and it's because they,
they are deliberately forgetting God,
because if you can purge God from
your conscious, if you can become the
transcendent one, the divine one as the
clip from, uh, yeah, that makes sense.
Segment said eight.
O'clock said, you know, because
I am divine, we are divine.
If you can be transcend in your mind by
canceling God and becoming your own, your
own creator of morality, then you can
silence that voice and that conscience
and you can without restraint, seek to
control others and grab power, because
there is no fear of that judgment day.
Let us remember, let us remember humility,
but it's remember meekness, let us
remember that each and the end of each
of our lives, we will give an account.
Let us remember.
Google's famous, famous motto.
Do no evil, knowing that that
might keep us away from evil,
but there's a higher calling.
And that calling is love, not love.
That just enables people
to stay in their mess.
The love that empowers us to
walk out those highs, your
callings of morality that each
and every one of us know is true.
You have love peace being
filled with joy, kindness, being
faithful to our relationships.
Speaking with gentleness.
Showing goodness and having self
control over not just our physical
bodies, but our mind and our emotions.
That's all.
Thanks for listening.
If you get value out of the show,
consider sharing it with a friend because
you will get more value out of it.
By talking about these ideas with
people in your community, it will
build a culture that enables you to
have language when at an understanding
when these attacks come against you
and come against your community.
So this week, remember you are someone
who goes in seats and pursues truth,
because truth is a thing, dreams,
true freedom, and that freedom
unlocks your purpose and that purpose
will enable you to own your future.
