We're getting so caught up in the
division of it all. How would you tell
people to ground it? How do you tell
people to stop trusting themselves so
much in a way that you think they would
listen with the extremes of both sides
yelling in their ear right now?
>> The literally uh the thing that I want
on my tombstone is you're having a
biological experience. I am trying to
get people to understand that they exist
inside of a set of rules. Now, you can
say that those rules were given to you
by God. Great. You can say that those
rules were given to you by evolution.
Great. You can say that we live inside
of a simulation and that's just how the
computer program was uh designed. Great,
whatever. But like anybody that says
that we don't operate under a system of
rules is so [ __ ] I don't know what
to do with it. So it's like once you
understand, oh, there's a set of rules.
My brain works in a certain way. Cool.
How does my brain work? Is it working
for what I want? Is it working against
what I want? Oh, what do I want? Can I
actually define it? So if I could get
people to understand, you should be
goaloriented. You should be focused on
the way that your brain works, the
physics of how your brain works. You
should figure out what is it that I'm
fighting for internally and externally.
Internally, I will tell you right now,
you're fighting for fulfillment. It is
the only positive emotional state,
meaning neurochemical state that is
resilient to things like failure or
grief. Everything else is hyper
transient. So think of fulfillment as
the context that you live in. So at any
time you can reach for I'll shorthand it
to self-respect and you can say hey this
really hard thing is happening to me in
my life but oh I can touch this thing
over here which is that I respect
myself. I respect the way that I'm
dealing with this. I'm facing hard
things. Uh and I'm in alignment with
what the what evolution wants for me
which is to contribute meaningfully to
the group in some way. uh you want to
find things that make you feel
expansive, not make you feel uh
contractive. So PS, if something ever
makes you feel murderous rage and you're
like, "This person has to die," you are
officially in contraction. And so that's
the very thing that you want to avoid.
This is where you got to start
channeling your inner Jesus. You've got
to start channeling your inner uh Nelson
Mandela, George Washington, like however
you want to think about it. You've got
to find a way to be like, "Okay, hold on
a second. There's something bigger than
me that I'm fighting for. there's
something that brings people together,
that uplifts them, that feels beautiful,
that feels wonderful. Uh when you're
channeling a uh vengeful god, that's not
the place you want to live. It's
incredibly powerful, by the way, and we
can have a conversation about dark
energy, the dark side, when to leverage
it. The way that I explain it is it is a
incredibly powerful tool, but it damages
you as you use it. So use it
infrequently. use it only in moments of
like extreme like, okay, I'm I'm going
to fatigue. I'm going to break unless I
tap into the dark side here. Uh, but
it's corrosive. So, if you're spending
anything north of 20% of your time
there, you're you're in dire straits.
And honestly, you should be spending a
lot less time than that. So, there's
been a a bunch of different uh releases
about is it a white male problem? Um,
we've they've been regulated for so long
for whatever reason. Um, now with this
Charlie Craig assassination, enough is
enough. Is it a right left has now
forced men to either be radical on one
side or the other and some men in the
middle are being missed like are being
like swept over and stuff. So we have a
couple reaction videos from different
people kind of trying to parse through
this. I don't know if you have a take
beforehand or you want to jump into the
video before. Well, so the take
beforehand is level of analysis is
always the thing that matters. And so I
don't think that they're going far
enough down into the architecture of the
human mind to understand what's really
going on. So, uh,
>> worrying about what identity people
choose. So, grouping people by like, oh,
this is a white male problem. No, this
is not a white male problem. This is a
problem of people need to feel confident
and clear about what they need to do.
This is why anger is the emotion people
are most likely to stimulate if you put
electrodes in their brain. Anger
>> is the thing that they will stimulate
because anger says, "I know exactly what
to do. All of that anxiety and
uncertainty, poof, it's just gone. I am
mad as hell. I'm not going to take it
anymore. I've got the energy and the
focus to move forward." And so once you
understand you're having a biological
experience and that this is your brain
basically working against your long-term
interests with this very potent
short-term thing. Uh then you can be
like, "Okay, wait a second. Even though
I feel anger and even though that anger
feels so [ __ ] good, I'm going to step
out of this and I'm going to plan long
term." Right? So when Tyler either is
standing in front of the firing squad,
which they're actually going to go for,
or if he just spends his life in prison,
all of a sudden he's going to realize
that Andre 3000 was right when he said
forever, ever. Forever, ever. Like
forever is a long time. And so when
people get trapped into these short-term
decisions that have these insane
long-term consequences,
all of a sudden you're like, "Okay, hold
on. My very job as the pilot of a human
body is to not fall prey to these
momentary emotions. My very job is to
not get trapped inside the frame of
reference that hey what I am is a white
male. Your job is to go ah as a white
male I get how I'm gravitating towards
these things. Are they useful? If
they're useful, word. If they're not
useful, then now we got to pump the
brakes. Because if anybody is trying to
trap me in my own thinking and use it
against me, pay attention to how I talk
about immigration. Like that's the point
where anybody from the outside is going
to be like, wait, wait a second. Uh
because there I'm like, uh, you do need
to recognize you have a value system.
You need to define that value system and
you need to stand up for that value
system or you will fall prey to people
that have that. So this is one of those
where I'm like it is very sad to me that
human animals are designed this way but
we are designed this way. Collisions of
values lead to murder. And so it's like
because I don't want to get murdered. I
have to understand like what are the
things that lead to that
>> uh at an individual scale. We just saw
it with the shooting. It was a
valuesbased shooting. Uh but when it
becomes like culture v culture the UK
>> uh it will become bloody. And the
example that I give is, hey y'all, Spain
used to be Muslim. Spain ain't Muslim no
more. So like, they didn't just one day
go, you know what? I'm kind of tired of
the weather. I'm going to peace out.
>> Oh my god. Yeah, I could go now. We're
done.
>> People got killed. So that's how you
stop being one way or the other. So, uh,
yeah.
>> All right. I'm going to give you over a
series of three tweets that kind of
grounded it for me as I was kind of
scrolling X. Um, Tim Miller tweeted,
"What America needs now is TV panels of
six-year-olds arguing over whose
language was the most inciting to
violence when the shooter has never
heard of Meet the Press spends all day
playing Hell Divers 2, building video
game maps, looking at hentai porn, and
posting in Discord." And then Bill
Matweeted, Tim Miller hits it the nail
on the head. The mainstream has zero
understanding of the 4chain gamer Gen Z
Frankenstein monster that flourishes in
the households of conservative Christian
MAGA families across America. So there
is the do you know where your kids are?
The teenager in his room with the door
locked.
>> How us yelling on politics is only going
to talk to other older people who have
lives and kids and families and
mortgages who care about politics. But
there is a population that isn't being
included in a part of the conversation.
How do we include them, do you think, to
so that way this can become productive
and we're not just yelling pundit to
pundit or podcaster to podcaster. You
don't murder the 31-year-old who could
actually speak to Gen Z. That That's a
good start.
>> So, there are going to be people that
>> grew up in that era that are also of
that culture. So, I can comment on that
culture. I can learn about that culture,
but I'll always be a foreigner. Like,
I've learned a lot about Japanese
storytelling, but I'm not Japanese. So,
it's like, if you grew up in Japan, you
are going to have a take on Japan that
I'll never be able to have no matter
what. even if I go move there now, I'll
never be native Japanese. And so it's
always going to be very different. So
when you you have to
>> Mhm.
>> make as a part of the conversation the
people that really are there, they're on
the inside. They know exactly what this
is like. And those people rise up. And I
think Charlie was a very interesting
version of that.
>> Mhm. I don't know if he was technically
uh like a really young millennial or if
he was an elder Gen Z, but anyway, he he
straddled it enough that he could be a
part of that voice. Um so yeah, finding
people from within that will speak on it
is very helpful. And then remembering
for whatever differences we have, we are
all human. I know everything I need to
know about Tyler based on the fact that
he also has a human mind. And so the
things that I don't know about him will
be dwarfed by the things that I do know
about him. Uh which is why like when I
see racial division, I just want to bang
my head through a wall cuz it's like
dude for sure you have had a different
experience than me. A thousand%. But the
things that we have in common are vastly
larger than the differences in the way
that we've grown up. Mh.
>> Um, neither of us find roly polies
sexually attractive, but keep in mind
other roly polies find roly polies
sexually attractive. So, it's like that
that is the degree to which like [ __ ]
can be different. And if you and I were
that different, then I'd be like, yo, I
don't even know how to relate to that.
So, anyway, uh that's where very
important to get voices from the inside.
Also, very important to remember that we
are humans and so the amount that we
understand about each other is musive.
But to fail to understand cultural
differences and try to map it would also
be a mistake. If you roll up and try to
do business in China without
understanding Chinese culture, you were
going to be very confused.
>> Yeah. And then this is another one um
from Midas uh Carissa Lee. Um I assure
you we women talk about it daily um
listening to this TikTok.
>> One who
feels like there's a bigger issue that
nobody's even talking about. The fact
that every single time
It's a man every time. It's a man. It's
a guy. It's a teenage boy.
>> Okay, pause it for a second. Okay, this
is somebody that has not spent any time
thinking about the fact that we are
biological creatures. He is very shocked
to discover that we are not blank
slates. You want to know why it's a man?
Because men are hardwired for violence.
Like, don't be surprised. Women are not
hardwired for violence like that. This
is what I'm trying to get people to
understand. The reason men and women
partner well together is a guy breaks
into a house, man is going to [ __ ] that
person up. They are going to put
themselves at high risk for the physical
confrontation.
>> Uh the woman is going to throw her body
on top of the children. And that like we
are wired so differently. The odds that
radical transformation happens to a
female's brain when she has children is
basically 100%. though from recent
things that I've heard from people that
would know about this kind of thing, uh
it's like you can't even study it
because people so want us to be blank
slates.
So anyway, this is like
listen, let me be charitable. Fair
enough. If he's never thought about it,
he's not gone down the road of
researching the brain and the way that
we have evolved to be very different,
>> um then this must be surprising. But the
vast majority of violence is always
going to be carried out by men. The vast
majority of reputation savaging is
always going to be carried out by women.
There you go.
No need for a surprise.
>> And nobody's talking about it. And I
don't understand why we're not
addressing the fact that men
are killing everybody.
>> Because you're angry with God. God has
decided that that's the way it's going
to be. So from an evolutionary
perspective, men had to be aggressive.
Uh men had to be prepared to be violent.
Women have no one ever pushes back on
this, so I'm going to stop thinking that
people hate it, but I keep expecting
push back on this. Women have bred men
to be the way we are. So women are the
sexual gatekeepers. They have decided
what's a yes and what's a no. And
>> they said yes to all the violent men. So
all the men became violent.
>> It's not that simple. But they have
said, "I want a man who is capable of
violence." And the reason that you want
a man that's capable of violence, and by
the way, for anybody that thinks I'm out
of my mind, read the studies about how a
woman who is on birth control likes a
softer, more gentle man, because those
are all the cues of I'm pregnant.
Whereas a woman who is not yet pregnant
likes all the signs of masculinity. So,
it's like if I'm deciding who to get
knocked up by, I'm like, "Yeah, I want
the uh high status, hyper masculine,
ready to [ __ ] throw down guy." And
then if I'm pregnant, I want somebody
who's like uh resource inquisitive,
ready to share with me, um going to
protect me kind of vibe. It is wild how
that shifts. So uh yeah that is
something that I think is getting lost
in the discourse is
whether you think it's God nature or
evolution the coder of the simulation
it's like this is what has led us to
this point that men and women have
certain proclivities that bring us
together uh that make us able to
cooperate in very large groups uh that
give us the impulse to protect uh to
breed and to protect that's such a weird
word to
But it gives me the nice sort of
detached uh thing.
>> So yeah, there we are. That's the
milange.
If every other week it was a story about
a woman going in and shooting up a bunch
of kids at a school and a woman who was
being a sniper and taking somebody out
and a woman went into a church and shot
up a whole bunch of people, I can
guarantee you people would be having a
lot of conversations about all the
things that are wrong with women.
>> Yes. Because it would be so contrary to
their nature.
>> Mhm. That's the thing. But since it's
guys, it's like, yeah, you're supposed
to do that.
>> Yes. not supposed to. Men are not
supposed to go into schools and shoot
people. Uh but once you start looking at
the spectrum, okay, this is like uh go
ahead and let every woman ever that
wants to play in the NBA play in the
NBA. Literally every single one of them.
>> I'm not saying there'll never be a woman
in the NBA.
I'm saying the number is going to be
real [ __ ] low because when you start
getting to the extremes of height,
physical power,
>> uh I'd be very curious to see if there
are regions of the male brain that are
better at like judging movements or
something and that I don't know. I'm
definitely reaching. But like all of
those things it you're now at the
absolute [ __ ] extreme. There is a
reason that East Africa has given us
basically every single worldclass
long-distance runner ever. And there's a
reason West Africa has given us
basically every single uh fast twitch
sprinter world class ever. Like the
there are just genetic realities to be
faced. Men have certain genetic
realities. Women have certain genetic
realities. And so once you start going
into the like, oh, where am I? What am I
going to see in prison? Like, if you
just explained to me the evolutionary
reality and then said, "Who's going to
be in prison? Men or women?" I'd be
like, "Fuck, it's going to be men all
day long. They're going to be way more
prone to violence at the extremes." Then
it' be like, "You're correct. Ding,
ding, ding." Uh, so the surprise on this
stuff is really more about ignorance to
how the human mind works.
>> Yeah. Um, okay. So Brutus said in the
comments, u when a woman does stuff,
Republicans, conservatives, red pill
outlets, they talk about it.
>> Sorry, really fast. Femboy Pan a
thousand%. We are talk. So he said not
all men are huge. 100% 100% 100%. So
keep in mind we were talking about
averages. We're talking about like as
you get to the extremes of the curves,
men and women overlap more than they
diverge.
>> So I I am certainly not confused by
that. But I where people get lost in
this conversation is it's not the
average person that starts doing the
insane [ __ ]
>> It's the person that's like hyper hyper
on whatever scale that we're talking
about.
>> Um so
yeah, just keep that in mind. Like I
don't we didn't pull the clip cuz this
thing actually made me so uncomfortable.
Uh but there was a woman that was like a
cackling lunatic about how um she was
thrilled that Charlie Kirk got
assassinated and then was like but as I
told them then there were two better
people that you could kill. Now she does
not know who she does not say who those
people are.
>> It does not take a genius to fill in
those blanks.
>> Uh but she is cackling like a lunatic.
And so that is, and I'm not saying that
you'll never see a man act like that,
but that is the like, uh, secretive,
reputation savaging, um, bloodthirst via
somebody else. Like all of those things
are way more when a woman breaks bad. So
again, we're talking about extremes.
Most people are not like that. Most
people overlap there. Again, there's way
more overlap than there is divergence.
But life will be very confusing to you
if you don't understand that the people
that end up in prison, they're all going
to be male because we're talking about
the most violent among us.
>> Uh so yeah. Anyway,
>> um okay. So if if we're going to say
what this guy's talking about is like
men are supposed to be this this is
assumed um that men will have that
violence. Are we then should we then be
shocked when women for example actually
choose hypergamy or when women for
example do the things that women
typically are supposed to do? go to a
man that's high status, go to a man
that's protection, things like that.
Because I feel like what you're saying
is, okay, this guy is not valid because
men have a higher propensity to violence
than women do. But then if we were
talking about like men verse women and a
woman is like, well, my man got to do
this, this, this, this, and this. We
call her delusional and we say that
she's crazy, but like doesn't women have
a propensity to think that way too? So,
you get what I'm saying?
>> I do. I think that men and women are
meant to be partners. And I think the
impulse to interface with the world
through a man is evolutionarily sound.
And so over time if you look at um men
had to earn the sexual receptivity of
women. For women it was a very dangerous
act to have a child. And so they would
make men cross a very high bar. This is
one of the problems I think of what's
happening in society right now is that
contract is breaking down. So, uh, men
and women are now very adversarial to
each other, which means men think it's
completely out of reach to earn that
from a woman. And
>> because of that, they're not even
trying. So, I think men are becoming
less of what they could be because they
don't have anybody pushing them to be
better. When I think about how much Lisa
pushed me to be better, I'm like, damn,
like that really mattered.
>> So, uh, yeah, that is all part of this.
So is that is the modern version of that
a pathological version of a very good
impulse from evolution? Probably. It
probably is in some cases pathological.
Uh but the impulse is sound.
>> Yeah. All right. So I feel like we
started from young versus old type
thing. Now we were at a men versus women
type thing. This next reaction is kind
of talking about the splintering of the
right within itself because what a lot
of people are saying on these back
before their text messages were released
and the Hollywood script was released to
everybody. People are saying that Tyler
Robinson was actually more so in the
groper camp which is the far right
versus being a far-left activist in that
Groper camp. That's the Nick Fuentes
camp that they both that group has beef
with Charlie Kirk because some say he's
not right enough. Um and then this
person breaks it down. We're suddenly
seeing right-wing male factions, groups,
ideologies splintering from each other.
Black Pill versus Griper, I don't know
if I'm pronouncing that correctly,
versus Red Pill versus Postironic Chaos
Bros. And it made me realize something.
Men in America have never really had a
group identity, not like women or queer
folks or other marginalized communities,
because for most of history, the system
was the male group. They didn't need
movements. They had institutions. They
were the default, but now the center no
longer holds. They're losing that
automatic position of dominance. And for
the first time, some men are starting to
feel what it's like not to be centered.
And what happens when people feel
disoriented in power? They form tribes.
They splinter. They radicalize. But
here's the key difference. These male
factions aren't forming around shared
hope or healing. They're forming around
grievance. and most of it imagined
because their oppression isn't real.
It's just equality finally arriving. But
that doesn't make the pattern any less
important. Because archetypally and
spiritually, this is the shadow of the
masculine trying to reorganize, trying
to remember who it is when domination no
longer works. Some of these groups will
rot and just go away. Some will evolve,
but all of them are whispering the same
thing. I don't know who I am without
control. And that's the real crisis.
>> This is to me the Nietian. We have
killed God and we will never be able to
wash the blood of wash the blood off of
our hands. There is a God-shaped hole in
all of us and we will find something to
fill that. And the interesting role that
religion has played is that historically
it has given us the way to come
together. It's the unifying factor. You
can meet somebody
>> that you've never met before and all of
a sudden it's like oh like we believe in
the same God. Boom. That
>> immediately transmits this whole set of
values and so people are able to move
together. It's really phenomenal from an
invention of evolution to architect our
minds in such a way that we are so
receptive to the divine. I don't know
what the right word to put there is.
Once you lose formal religion, then you
still have that hole in the way that the
mind works. And so people are going to
look for something. And the thing that
they begin looking for that answer in is
a tribe of another kind. And the
internet facilitates people finding all
kinds of tribes.
>> And certainly not all of them are going
to be positive. Many of them are going
to be pathological.
>> I see. Unfortunately,
>> we're on the cusp of this too with like
AI. So, it's easy to talk about when a
robot can do everything better than you
and you get fired from your job, where
does your meaning and purpose come from?
But what we're seeing right now is Tyler
Robinson had everything going for him.
We are liberal enough as a society that
him and his trans boyfriend, girlfriend,
I'm not sure where the transition
pathway was. They could have lived a a a
meaningful life. They could ran off to
San Francisco somewhere. Like they he
could have done everything he wanted to
get that fulfillment and meaning. What
do you think is breaking bad in boys
like him and some of these other
shooters minds where it now becomes I
have to do this thing instead of
focusing on the good and the life and
the things that I do have.
>> We are living in a timeline where people
really believe that
>> that Hitler has been elected and that
we're living out the question, what
would you do if you had the opportunity
to kill Hitler? And so, uh, it'll be
interesting to see as all of the dust
settles around, is trans ideology
something that makes people more likely
to like break, um, radical, I don't
know. We'll see. We need, I think, more
uh, information before we jump to that
conclusion. But if that ends up being a
true statement, then it's like, okay,
well, there's something about that
ideology that says like people
major candidates are going to be
something like Mhm.
>> Um,
words are violence.
Misgendering is a form of genocide
against trans because you're trying to
deny their existence or erase their
existence.
And so, because we
value this human life, we're not going
to stand for that. And so, it's a set of
ideas that leads to a logical conclusion
where it's like, hey, you're being
stared in the face by the fact that
you're on the Hitler timeline. uh these
people are committing violence against
your community. They are trying to erase
them. They are trying to genocide them.
And so what are you going to do?
>> And some people will have developed a
frame of reference that says, well, I'm
going to take that person out. It it
would be um I will not be able to
respect myself if I don't take the shot
on Hitler. And so this is where frame of
reference becomes so incredibly
important to understand like where does
my frame of reference actually contact
with reality. And so this is why I will
tell everybody there's physics and there
is interpretation.
>> Period.
>> And once you go beyond physics, you're
now into the land of interpretation. And
so if that is your frame of reference
that all the things that I just laid out
are true, then you get why people do the
things that they do. And so I understand
the right's critique of the left saying,
"Hey, this is these are things that they
say. This creates that frame of
reference that justifies violence." Not
only justifies it in some ways is like
the only morally correct thing to do if
that's your frame of reference. The
thing that scares me is that I see them
>> being equally unself-aware about blanket
statements. Uh and that over time will
also lead to the same tragic creation of
a frame of reference that says violence
is the only
