      The show Firefly basically does the same:

      That's why i never really cared about Star Trek.
      All humans think and act the same, like an organic version of the Borg.

      Race is useless and completely breaks down under any scrutiny that’s why people in academia don’t use it. People across racial categories have achieved the highest of successes and the lowest of failures. People within racial categories have oppressed and killed each other for all of existence. You come to much more truthful conclusions about the world looking through a blank slate. If you looked at things racially the ideology would be overrun with contradictions. That’s why racial caste systems cannot last without brutal repressions. They are fundamentally illogical

    Oh boy, what you said about only caring about winning struck a chord with me. An old friend of mine once posted something , during Australia's debates around gay marriage, how the right was fear-mongering with concerns about its effects on free speech and religious freedom. I was like, how can you say that's fear-mongering when Australia is late to the party on this, and we can see evidence these fears are justified from a dozen countries who legalised it before them? And he PM'd me and admitted to me that he knows it's a lie and that I'm right, but he doesn't care, he'll say whatever needs to be said in order to get people on their side. I was appalled, and it was actually the first time I defriended someone over their political beliefs. I couldn't imagine being so dishonest, misleading people and wrongly slandering others, just to win. But it's shown itself time and again over the years since then.

    I guess the central question that keeps coming to my mind is: “Was the emergence of leftism inevitable?” The reason I say that is, as the Unabomber pointed out, the lives we live in modern industrial civilization are so radically different from our natural state of existence that the physiological pressures from inhabiting a synthetic existence would eventually reach a breaking point. I know Rudyard has talked about this before, but just think about how radically different our lives are from how hunter-gatherer societies used to live. Even people who are “doing well,” like a highly paid surgeon, work long hours, don’t really raise their children but outsource it to daycare, and spend their entire existence in a fluorescent-lit hospital, completely disconnected from the natural world.
    I’m not promoting leftism in any way, shape, or form, but what is the average Westerner’s life going to look like with the advent of brain-computer interfaces and artificial intelligence? Is it going to be a meaningful, beautiful existence where we feel connected to being, or a continuation down the trajectory of civilizational dehumanization? I know there’s a radical degrowth agenda in parts of left-wing ideology, but maybe, for all its irrationality, it sees what humans have become-cogs in a depersonalized machine. I want to make it clear that I don’t have the answers, just some thoughts that came to mind when listening to this.

The idea the surgeon should not work is a feminine leftist idea in itself. But as he said, we live in a leftist narrative world anyway. As to the AI world, without leftism it could be good. With it you’re in trouble. And we’re with it.

    • @jmanswat2457
      @jmanswat2457 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The emergence is inevitable because humans are inherently sinful/corrupted, which seems confirmed through objective historical study. In order to survive the human body(or all life really) seeks what it needs to survive without overstepping the risks involved to obtain it. Yin and Yang - energy accumulation and conservation. I would estimate laziness with an overly developed/inbalance of conservation. Humans if permitted, often choose the path of least resistance. Leftism feeds on this and is why it keeps resurging. "Vote for me and I will give u everything" feeds our laziness contrasted to "work out your own salvation individually." we all dream of everything for nothing but only those that understand our worlds realities understand this is impossible. But we keep trying it because most people are not taught this fundamental truth. You reap what u sow.
      As for Ai, whether it will improve our lives or destroy, it will probably depend on our ability to use it in balance. I have little faith in modern people's personal restraint and self denial when necessary so my estimation is Ai will be used in a way that will create a further divide in our social breakdown. Ai will be able to reduce production costs and eliminate menial jobs. This could save us by forcing people into higher paid but technically skilled labor which I believe people of lower self application will rebel against. People at large resist the creative destructive process.

    The one book I recommend every student of politics and history read is _The Crowd_ by French psychologist Gustave Le Bon. Le Bon identified political patterns by analyzing historical figures and events through the lens of group psychology. Perhaps the most salient point Le Bon makes is that public education breeds civil unrest. By making false promises of social mobility to the lower classes, individuals that would have been perfectly content as farmers or craftsmen are forced into a system that will only ever benefit the cream of the crop. There are simply not enough "elite" jobs to go around and this overproduction of educated men and women fosters resentment amongst those who didn't make the cut. If the distribution of winners and losers becomes too lopsided, political upheaval becomes intevitable.

      To oversimplify, back in the day a french dynasty got to the throne of Spain (the bourbons) thought a civil war. To justify their claim they installed the idea that Spain was a decadent empire, everything Spanish is bad and thank god they came to fix things with their enlightened ideas. Those enlightened ideas broke the organic and decentralised political system of the monarchy with centralization and social engineering, causing the independence of the American territories.
      On top of that, to get into Hispanic intelligentsia, almost to this day, you have to comply with that idea that everything Spanish is bad and everything European (French, German or American) is good.

    I don't mean most Leftists are Psychopaths, but I think it's an ideology that appeals to Psychopaths despite on the surface being the exact opposite of what a Psychopath actually believes. The appeal is that it's easy to appear "virtuous" while not actually having to be virtuous by any definition. All you need to do is spout the right talking points and you're above reproach.

    A response to the “Places where the Jews=Leftists hypothesis doesn’t work slide.”
    1. China did actually have Jews leading it’s communist revolution-Jakob Rosenfeld being one of them, reported on by the Times of Israel.
    2. Stalin was trying to evict the less authoritarian leftists of Trotsky’s varieties, and in the 1929 Party Congress of just a decade earlier had directly addressed the worrying rise of antisemitism in the Party. I could go on but despite that, Jews in the United States such as the Rosenbergs consistently chose leftism and the USSR despite it’s past of Judenhass.
    3. The spanish civil war was ideologically a Jewish War, nearly 1/4 of all foreign volunteers for the republicans were ethnically Jewish.
    4. Leftism in Latin America had plenty of Jewish thinkers, provacatours, and military leaders, as reported by the Brown University Library.
    5. The modern left is most categorically Anti-White, as they view “whiteness” as equal to oppression and power. This was a largely Jewish Leftist Tactic to purchase the support of nonwhite minority groups in western nations with large white conservative majorities. The second tactic the Jews use is self-identifying as white when convenient. Thus they are the Schrödingers Whites. This antiwhitism has turned on them as many minority groups in the modern American left see Israelis as White and therefore the Zionist occupation is no longer an oppressed minority regaining it’s homeland from colonizers in the face of a near extinction event, but a White Oppressor Colonizing a Brown Oppressed. This is more powerful to most nonwhite leftists who identify with a nonwhite oppressed more than a white-passing oppressed group.
    6. This is mostly correct-for western leftism. Nearly all Eastern leftism was Jewish. However Jews did have a place to play in the French Revolution, particularly a certain Herz Cerfberr, as reported by the Jewish Virtual Library. Additionally, in 1791, Ashkenazim Jews were begrudgingly given the full equality under the law to “complete the revolution.” However the French Revolutionary thinkers were not very kind to Jews and their debates, thoughts, and actions would spur antisemitic thought and doctrine for centuries to come, and likely inspired the Eastern Jewish leftists to lead their own revolutions, as it became clear that when Europeans lead their own, they are not kind to Jews or other outsider elements.
    7. Nobody has argued the Jews have ever been a majority of all leftists in any faction outside Israel. They have always been a massive part of leftist leadership since after the french revolution. Either quite directly, or very often, somewhat indirectly through being major doctrinal influences on important figureheads, or financial backers, or philosophical thinkers, or propagandists.
    8. Not true. According to multiple Jewish Newspapers, Israel has quite possibly nearly 1/3 of it’s population identifying as LGBTQ.
    9. This is somewhat correct, and has to due with something described since the days of the French which is that it seems that connected Jewish Interests play both sides of the same coin. Even if they are not necessarily connected, their interests converge. A fantastic example is in the US. Israeli interests on the American Right include crushing the palestinians, establishing a Jewish Majority in the region, and using American weapons and manufacturing might to do so. This at first seems counter to the American Left until you consider some of the largest Jewish interests on the American Left are to be extremely welcoming to refugees in the numbers of millions. Thus Israel and it’s interests in the US is creating a situation where they can genuinely export the Palestinians to the United States and gain broad support from both political parties over one or the other major aspects of the action.
    10. Although true, you are ignoring Jewish Interests in this as well. A 2021 study from the University of Virginia found that many of the Puritans were not only of Sephardic and Ashkenazi ancestry, but Romani as well. And there were both groups living in and around early Puritan settlements. They also allege many of the supposed Anglo-Saxon settlers from Canterbury had Ashkenazic roots as early as the Conquest of William of Normandy, who had many noblemen and soldiers of Ashkenazic descent. They argue that during Edward’s Expulsion edict, many prominent English Jews publically converted to Christianity but retained their Jewish Ethnic ties and secret practices, giving us the term “Crypto-Jews” they largely emigrated to the US as a large group to form the Plymouth Colony. This is why so many Heritage Americans as myself who descend from these people who came at the Conquest of William have that little percentage of Iberian ancestry, as these were largely from Jewish Ashkenazis in Spain.

    Gottfried made a very good observation about Jews in America - before the 1890’s Americas Jewish population was primarily Iberian Sephardic and German Ashkenazi. These groups were culturally conservative and by and large integrated well into American society. The groups of Jews that came to the US after 1890 were almost entirely Eastern European and Russian Ashkenazi and were both politically and culturally radical. Most of the Jewish radicalism is a product of this.

    What's sad is these issues extend past political. I have a broken spine and was doing music, I got the nickname "the patriot" for inviting everybody and trying to keep politics out of the events I hosted. My ex felt spiteful about our break up made a rumor about me because she was pressured by her commie male feminist ex bf. It spread everywhere because nobody would question it, nobody wanted to be labeled an apologist or an ist. One spoke out and asked "is it really true though, why go to social media first?" and they cancelled him, lost his gigs, and was banned from everywhere like me. I lost everything and I noticed the people peddling the rumor the most and making up other ones we're literal communists, male feminists, and leftists more generally. Those same people had been proven to be predators in many instances and I had witnessed a few of them and corrected them at parties when I saw it. They tried to pass off their own transgressions and bad conscience onto me. Otherwise nobody would tell me what they heard or from who. She messaged me out of the blue once everything was lost to say that she was sorry and regretted making it all up. She later came out and told everybody that it wasn't true and that she was pressured to say it by a guy who had a grudge against me. Nobody cared. I was even jumped by a white knight who didn't even know the story (the game of telephone). They just laughed and I was still banned and cancelled. I showed the screenshots to venue owners and they would just block me or cuss me out. I got invited to open for an old friend and 5 minutes before the show started I got a msg from the owner saying that I'm not welcome and if I show up I will be thrown out. No matter what I showed them nobody cared, I was tarred with a black brush. She even went as far as going to the venue ahead of me to try to get them to change their mind, they didn't care and would tell her outright that I was still banned. People would anonymously call noise complaints and other fake things to make sure the events I could hold together got shut down. I lost all my friends, my gigs, the community I built, the circuit I created in my small town over the course of nearly a decade. I felt completely alone in the world because of other peoples projections and their desire to win no matter what. Music is all I knew, It's all I had left. I barely made it. It was hard to survive the downward spiral but it really opened my eyes to the sickness and rot that has infected society. The way everybody now believes that all are guilty and there's nothing that can be said to redeem anybody once an artificial consensus is reached. The way everybody will sacrifice all of their principals for self preservation or gain. It's been two years now and I still have nightmares where I'm sinking beneath the stage as everybody apologizes to me. Just found out my mom has stage 4 too and building a way forward is harder than ever, especially now with the way people think.

Why be self-sabotaging? Just to own the libtards, we lower our standards, and accept the chaos of the past? Make every collapse more terrible than the last, pretend as if there is nothing to learn from the past, because that does not benefit (some) classes at the time? This is why the political right is losing, most of it now is literally mindless reactionary thought- noone who gives this any serious thought would be like "yeah, let's just wing it, that worked out fantastic".

      Wrong ~ The state owns marriage so the women can divorce with the state's favor now and ruin the men over and over without consequences. She's not yours it's just your turn. After the 4th man or so the woman looses her ability to pairbond and so the nation is bereft of adequate females as wives. Very soon no man will get married because of these details. Single women have killed the golden goose and cannot figure out why they are unhappy ~ BUT women have always become unhappy without constant children arriving from their own bodies and from their children as grandparents. The juice for men is not worth the squeeze anymore. Thanks to social media the whole world has seen the treachery of women.

The funny thing was as a kid I excelled at certain things like sports, at least in the top 3-5 athletic girls and maybe 5 guys were faster than me, that changed when puberty hit 🙃 I remember as a kid wanting to have a different life that was more traditional but my mom would always say, “Well you better marry someone rich,” and was put through a lot of pressure to please others.

    Kind of interesting to me that both the right and the left ultimately are aiming for the same goal, a homogenous culture with a set of enforced shared values. The difference is the means of enforcement and how they get there. In a way, the modern left shares more in common with the religious right in how they enforce their values through social ostracization. The problem, and a bit of a paradox, is without a strong tradition to pull from and conform to, as well as too wide a tent, the values and rules seemingly keep changing every week and it devolves into a circular firing squad. This is exactly why people, especially men, myself included, are leaving the left in large numbers. It’s too much to keep up with and pushes out well meaning people who are tired of being told they’re racist/far right/misogynists for acting the same way they always have but the Overton window keeps changing.

    I disagree at 26:10 that the concepts of The Blank Slate and The Noble Savage are the same thing. They appear to be total opposites. The Blank Slate claims there to be no human nature while The Noble Savage idea claims that human nature is good. The Blank Slate claims everyone to possess an identical starting point, a blankness, while The Noble Savage claims that some people fall into the noble bucket of innate goodness and primitive moral superiority making everyone not totally the same. I do agree however that in modern times both ideas are cherrypicked in conjunction with one another to create a best-of-both-worlds powergrab to justify social engineering, even when both ideas taken at their whole oppose eachother.

Also, the 20th century was the bloodiest in history because of all the people who try to build a perfect society based on his ideas.

      B) Invest heavily in artificial wombs, which in turn will make women a minority in the population, since without having a monopoly on the ability to give birth, they have no real value to our rulers.

    I know it’s late to comment, but when you mentioned punk rock it really brought to mind something that’s been on my mind for quite a while.
    I’m basically middle aged, I graduated High School in 2006. When I’ve thought back to the differences between the lives of the young people I know now and mine, the obvious differences strike me- not have a cell phone, internet being somewhere you had to sit down and spend four minutes listening to robots getting tortured to access, the ability to live without having an email address, or finding our friends by just driving around till you saw someone’s car. It’s easy to look at the culture now and bemoan how shallow and trashy it is. People watch streamers now, when I was in junior high and high school there was still something a little unsavory about playing computer or video games. People joke (black, Soviet style jokes) about universal surveillance, and we never thought twice about saying anything.
    But there are two counterintuitive things I think about as well. Firstly, my friend group listened to a lot of punk- not really pop punk, but Social Distortion, Rancid, Dropkicks, BR, Blood for Blood, and Anti Flag. It’s funny to me now how so many of their radical slogans and lyrics sound like something you’d hear at a Trump rally, and I assume every single one of those groups is 100% in favor of forced Covid vaccines, drafting kids to fight in Ukraine, and Zuck being able to decide what you say.
    Secondly, I think about what was cool, what was popular, the characters that kind of led our collective ideas of what behavior you should mirror. They were pretty much all trash. What I remember from the movies we watched, until Gran Torino came out, was that unless it was an action movie, the heroes were underachieving slobs, and this made them authentic. Success, even athletic success, was for nerds. If you know what’s up you imitate Stiffler or Jay or Silent Bob. Young kids now don’t automatically respect the popular culture of the past, whether it’s teen movies or Harley leathers, and I figure that’s probably a great thing, since the emperor has been butt naked since the 60’s as far as media is concerned.
    Sorry for the wall of text, I really enjoy your channel.
