00:00:00Good morning, good morning, everybody. Oh, my gosh. What have we got? 15th of June, 2025.

00:00:09150625. And it is Happy Father's Day. Happy Father's Day to everyone. I certainly have

00:00:16some thoughts about the issues. And I kind of celebrated last night. I did a call-in

00:00:29show. And it's a public call-in, so it'll go out. And it really was, ooh, I don't remember

00:00:38a time I've been that shocked by a call-in show. I'm not unshockable. Unshockable, that's

00:00:45what you are. So I'm not unshockable, but it's been a while since I've been this shocked.

00:00:53And it was a long call-in show, but I think it will be worth it. And it was with the father

00:00:58who had insomnia. And boy, did we ever find out why. Oh, my God. Shocking. I try, you

00:01:08know, I obviously try not to get condemnatory or overly angry or something, but that happened.

00:01:16And so that will go out to donors soon and the stream as a whole after a while. But yeah,

00:01:25that was something. That was something. So I hope you'll check that out. You can go,

00:01:31of course, to join up, freedomain.com slash donate. You can sign up for subscriptions. You can go to

00:01:38fdrurail.com slash locals or subscribestar.com slash freedomain. And it will be helpful to me,

00:01:48helpful to you, and you get access to a lot of very, very cool stuff. And yeah, I've been finding

00:01:54some old call-in shows lately that are actually really good from the archives, the kind of stuff

00:02:01that would normally come out when I'm dead. So I hope that you will check those out when they come

00:02:08out. And again, they go out to donors first. So I hope you will check that out as well.

00:02:12All right. Questions, comments, issues. Somebody says, hi, Steph. I've recently started a therapeutic

00:02:15coaching venture. I use a lot of your philosophy and mindsets on my clients, and it's working very

00:02:19well for them. Fantastic. Fantastic. I appreciate that. I appreciate that.

00:02:31So, questions, comments, issues, challenges, problems.

00:02:39I mean, fatherhood really has been crippled in the modern West.

00:02:44Men pay like 80% of the taxes. Women take resources from men. And it's funny, you know,

00:02:51when I was younger, I used to think that if you were really generous with people,

00:02:54they would be grateful. You ever had that experience where you say, oh, I'm going to be

00:03:00really generous with someone. And I mean, you don't expect them to, you know, name their firstborn

00:03:06after you, but thanks exist for a reason. And thanks exist so that people don't feel taken for

00:03:13granted, right? The king does not thank the slave, right? The slave grovels and thanks the king.

00:03:20Thanking someone is saying, you don't owe me, and I appreciate what you've done for me,

00:03:25right? If you order something online and it gets delivered, you don't write a personally worded

00:03:32card of thanks for the generosity of whoever delivered it to you, because that's what you're

00:03:37paying them to do, right? So again, we say thanks to the waitress, even though we're paying the

00:03:41waitress, thank you for the food, blah, blah, blah. But that's just being polite. Thanks is a way of

00:03:47saying, we're equal, you went above and beyond, you don't owe me, and I appreciate what you've done.

00:03:58So, in my experience, with many people, I would say the majority of people, the more generous you are,

00:04:09the more you get taken for granted. That's really, really sad. And boy, is it ever short-sighted on the

00:04:15people who take advantage of you? That's just a terrible idea. Ooh, ooh, not good, not good.

00:04:25Generosity begets kindness, begets generosity, and it's a virtuous spiral, like it's an upward spiral.

00:04:31But in my experience, when you're generous with people, they just start to expect it. And your

00:04:37generosity is viewed by people not as something they should be grateful for, but as something that

00:04:43gives them higher status, right? I mean, if you've ever stayed after school to clean the

00:04:50blackboards and, you know, wipe out the erasers and so on, well, that's because the teacher has

00:04:56more power, and the teacher will thank you and so on. But it's not like the teacher reciprocates then

00:05:00by coming over and doing your laundry, right? It doesn't really work that way. So, a lot of people,

00:05:08if you're generous to them, they will take it as a sign that they have power and that they are superior

00:05:14to you, and therefore, they're much less likely to thank you, and therefore, that all diminishes and

00:05:21goes away. I remember once with a family member many years ago, he and his wife were expecting their

00:05:29first child. And I stayed, like for the entire long weekend, cleaning, right? That's the instinct to

00:05:36clean. They lived in a condo at the time. And I stayed for an entire long weekend, cleaning that

00:05:42condo top to bottom with the husband. And I mean, we pulled out the fridge, we pulled out the stove,

00:05:50like everything. You just have this urge. Of course, right? Babies come in with a fairly

00:05:54novel immune system, and so you try to clean things up, right?

00:05:58And, oh man, it just struck me a week or two later that when I had my kid, I could not imagine

00:06:11that family member ever coming to my place wherever I would happen to be living

00:06:17and helping me clean for three days straight. Like I just, I couldn't, it would just be

00:06:24incomprehensible. They'd find some excuse. They'd be busy. They'd be tired. They'd be,

00:06:28have other engagements. It would be something, right? Like if you've ever done this thing

00:06:32when you're a young man, young woman, I think young men a little bit more. I mean, I remember

00:06:37toting it up once. I moved 18 times in 10 years. And I didn't get quite down to my college roommates.

00:06:44And when I say roommates, we lived in the same room, like one room, both of us. And I remember he

00:06:51he actually was down to a wooden bowl and a spoon. He was a complete minimalist traveler.

00:06:57I'd never caught quite that low, but I did stay pretty, pretty lean. I lived pretty lean.

00:07:02And so what you do as a young man is you help each other move because nobody's got any money for

00:07:08movers or as they call it in England, removers. And so you, you help each other move and it's just

00:07:14kind of, you know, maybe you'll spring for some pizza and beer or whatever it is, but that's just the

00:07:19way that, that it goes. And, and there's always one guy, there's always one guy, or maybe it's

00:07:25more than one. He's happy to have all his friends come and help him move. But when it's time to help

00:07:29his other friends move, you know, he's got a sore back, he's busy. And it just seems to be kind of a,

00:07:35a consistent thing. So be sure to, to thank people in your life and reciprocate. I mean, I remember

00:07:44someone in my life, I put out massive amounts of time, effort and energy and helping them with

00:07:49their artistic endeavors. And then when I asked them to read and give me feedback on my novel,

00:07:55just poor, they said, well, it delayed, delayed, never quite happened. And then I sort of said,

00:07:59Hey, come on, I did all of this stuff for your artistic goals. Maybe you could help me with my

00:08:03novel. And she, that person said, well, you know, you, you just haven't quite motivated me to do it.

00:08:08And I'm like, ah, ah, so when I help you, it's my duty. When I ask you to help me,

00:08:16it's my fault if you don't. And then it was like,

00:08:19farewell, good night, goodbye. So, but I, I've always found it, uh, it just as a whole

00:08:28being generous and having standards is a very powerful combination.

00:08:34So being generous means help people out, um, go above and beyond, uh, do the extra mile or

00:08:42whatever, be generous and then have standards. So be generous and ask in return. If you're just

00:08:46generous without having standards or asking in return, you're just kind of cringe, begging,

00:08:51slaving and, and throwing resources to people. So they'll like you. And I've done it myself. So

00:08:56this is not any sort of sarcastic thing to put people down. I've spent many years doing that kind

00:09:00of stuff. But if you're generous and you have standards, that's the sweet spot, my friends,

00:09:06that is the sweet spot, because then you help people out and you ask for favors in return and

00:09:12you come across this, it's a feeling, it's a feeling. It's like this, somebody says, don't

00:09:23let the door hit you on the backside on the way out the door. Don't let the good, don't let

00:09:27the door hit you where the good Lord split you. So being generous to people and then asking for

00:09:35favors, you get this cold, it's like a diamond heart. It's like cold, kind of icy. There's just

00:09:43no way they're going to do it because you helping them has driven their vanity and status to heights

00:09:48and they won't give that up by helping you back because that would be to return to a state of

00:09:53equality. And very few people, I'm telling you, my friends, this is why voluntarism, anarchism,

00:10:00anarcho-capitalism is so hard for people to grasp, because so few people can operate on a plane of

00:10:09equality in this life. It's always got to be, you know, like that two pieces of paper being pushed

00:10:15together on a tabletop. One goes over, one goes under. They just, they can't do equality. They can't do

00:10:20reciprocity. They can't do mutuality. It's got to be hierarchical.

00:10:27Like if you're at a party, it's called these cocktail eyes. You ever been at a party and you're

00:10:32trying to chat with someone and they're just looking around the room, looking for something

00:10:35better, looking for someone more important, looking for someone who can do something for them.

00:10:39This happens at networking events in business all the time, chatting with someone. And the moment they

00:10:44realize that you can't help them advance their career or their whatever it is, they'll just,

00:10:49oh, excuse me, right? And I get that from a business standpoint, but so many people do that

00:10:56as a whole. They just, they cannot operate on a state, in a state of equality. One person has to

00:11:04be superior. One has to be inferior. One's on top, one's on the bottom and not in that fun way.

00:11:10So always look for that. So how do you, how do you test for equality? Well, I mean, one of the

00:11:19things you do is you test for reciprocity in dating. That's an important thing, right? So as a guy who

00:11:25dated a fair share of women in the past, I would always be very generous, right? Oh, I'll come pick

00:11:31you up. I'll choose the restaurant. I'll pay for dinner. And I would look for reciprocity,

00:11:36which doesn't include sex because sex itself is reciprocal, right? So I would look for reciprocity.

00:11:44It didn't mean money necessarily at all. It could be any number of things. It could be a woman who

00:11:50would say, oh, you mentioned you write books. I'd love to read one, right? And if she reads a couple

00:11:54of chapters and giving me some feedback, that's worth way more than the price of dinner to me,

00:11:58right? So that's, it doesn't have, it doesn't matter about money. Reciprocity, right?

00:12:03If you bring something nice for her, then, I mean, I remember going on a date with a woman and she

00:12:10brought me a plant and she said, you know, you're a bachelor. I assume you don't have plants. I'm

00:12:16aware that I may be handing over the plant to the equivalent of a Soviet gulag, but it's nice having

00:12:22plants. And I really thought I kept that plant for years. It was a very, very thoughtful, very thoughtful

00:12:27gesture. So you look for reciprocity. So if you're putting all the work in as a man, being

00:12:32attractive, taking her out, choosing the places, choosing the activities, making her laugh, and so

00:12:38on, then what happens with a lot of people is when you provide them resources, they settle back into

00:12:44an aristocratic mindset. Oh, lovely. Well, I guess I'm that important that this person is now my

00:12:50serf, my slave. They're just bringing me resources and, and they get smug, they get superior,

00:12:55and they get entitled and blech, blech. And that's when you run, right? Because that person is

00:13:02exploitive and kind of narcissistic, in my humble opinion. But you look for reciprocity, right? You

00:13:09look for, I mean, I've told this story a million times about how I mentioned to my, eventually my

00:13:14wife, when we were on a, I went out on a couple of dates that I had to, I had to interrupt my writing

00:13:19to go, I was taking time off from work to write both Almost and my novel, The God of Atheists.

00:13:26And I said, oh, I've got to enter my, she says, are you going to go write this afternoon? I said,

00:13:32so I kind of have to interrupt it because I have to go and pick up some sandals I got fixed. They're

00:13:36all the way downtown. And she's like, are you, no, I'm going to be downtown this afternoon. I'll pick

00:13:41them up. And I was just like, shocked, shocked. Teaching women to be vain means that they will

00:13:49not perform reciprocity, right? They will not do nice things for a man because any more than you

00:13:57would say to an aristocrat who's got a thousand serfs, well, you need to give each of them a

00:14:01handwritten birthday card. He'd be like, no, I don't. They're my serfs, right? So there's a no

00:14:05reciprocity there. My reciprocity is I don't throw them in a dungeon. So always, always look

00:14:17for reciprocity in friendships and in business and so on. And this is even true. And it's even

00:14:21true when you have a hierarchical relationship, you need to look for reciprocity. So if you have a boss,

00:14:28the boss should be appreciative of things that you do and not take them for granted.

00:14:32I mean, again, I said the story, but it's been many years. It was one of these really

00:14:39crystalline waking dream turning points in my life. I had been working in my journal with the idea that

00:14:49it was worse to assault a child than it is to assault an adult in a wheelchair. Like, you know,

00:14:59if we saw some big guy beating up some woman in a wheelchair, we'd be absolutely appalled.

00:15:04And we would call him like just the worst guy ever. Because she's in a wheelchair, right?

00:15:11But that's, assaulting a child is even worse. Assuming it's your child, right?

00:15:17Because the woman in the wheelchair, she can call on the cell phone, she can, the police will protect

00:15:22her. She's independent. She can get the guy thrown in jail. She goes back to her own place. She can be

00:15:27secure. She can be safe. She could be armed. She can have pepper spray, whatever is legal, right?

00:15:32So, so it's, whereas a child is, and she's a full legal adult. She's got independent consciousness

00:15:37and so on, full economic, political, and social rights and independence. And she's got all these

00:15:44people she can call. The police will be on her side. And everyone will side with her about,

00:15:48my God, I can't believe this guy beat you up or tried to beat you up when you were in a wheelchair.

00:15:52Everybody would just be appalled. And nobody would ever say, you know, let's say he was the he's a

00:15:57neighbor, right? Oh, but he's your neighbor. You should get along with your neighbors. You go over

00:16:00and have tea with him and ignore that anything ever happened. You wouldn't have any of that

00:16:03bullshit, right? But a child is completely dependent, has no independence, can't call the

00:16:10cops or rarely. And people don't side with the child when the child grows up and says, I was assaulted.

00:16:15They say, well, you know, they're your parents, you got to find a way to make it work. Right? So I was going

00:16:19working through this whole thing. This would be probably about 30 years ago or so. I was working

00:16:26through this whole thing, just trying to trying to understand all of this. And this was a poem that

00:16:31I wrote in my late teens, early 20s, about how everyone's reading their newspaper, waiting for a

00:16:38bus, and a lion comes along, takes out a kid, and people don't even look up from their newspapers.

00:16:43Right? This is how little people deal with child abuse. And that's, my God, that's almost 40 years ago.

00:16:49I'm getting old. I'm getting old, baby. So anyway, I was living downtown after I broke up

00:17:03with my fiance. And I was going downstairs to go and get a coffee. And across, it was a fairly rough

00:17:14section of town. And across the street, there was this big black guy who was standing over a frail

00:17:23old woman, a frail middle-aged woman, and she seemed old at the time, a frail middle-aged woman who was

00:17:27kind of shaking her, you know, the armrests on the wheelchair. She was in a wheelchair, and he's just

00:17:34leaning over her and shaking at her and shouting at her. And I just, of course, ran up and told him to

00:17:42back off, and what the hell is he doing? And like, you've got to be kidding me. Like, she's in a

00:17:46wheelchair, you're a big guy. And I, I wouldn't say, it was just an instinct. I wouldn't even say it was

00:17:55particularly, you know, brave, or it was just like, you got to do something. Like, when I see a child

00:17:59getting aggressed against in public, I just, I just go up. It's almost like a force pulls me up, and I

00:18:03just kind of have to. It's even, not even really a choice. Anyway, so he backed down. Of course, I was

00:18:11working out a lot of the time, and this was fairly strapping young, young lad. So he backed down, and

00:18:17then I talked to the woman, asked if she was okay, and so on. And she said she was shaken up, and she

00:18:25was hungry. So I took her to a restaurant, and I paid for her dinner, and then, and then what? Well,

00:18:31and then she started chiseling me for more money. And that didn't seem quite right. Hey, thanks.

00:18:40Now, if you could just spot me 50 bucks or 100 bucks or whatever or not, it just didn't seem quite

00:18:45right. So sometimes when you're generous with people, they just start expecting more and more,

00:18:52and you can get turned inside out and drained dry. You know, some people, you give them your blood,

00:18:59they get better, and they'll come and mow your lawn. Other people, you give them your blood,

00:19:04and they're like, oh, he's a generous guy, so I'm going to go hit him up for money.

00:19:08Generosity is beautiful in a reciprocal relationship. Generosity around exploiters

00:19:13will, like, end your existence as a happy person. It really is terrible. Be very careful with your

00:19:22generosity. Very, very careful with your generosity. Always look for reciprocity. Otherwise,

00:19:27you go and get exploited. All right. Let me get to your comments. I'm grateful to you. I have a happy

00:19:39marriage. It's successful because I've implemented a lot of what you have to say. Oh, I'm great for

00:19:43that, and thank you for that. All right. Well, with Canada Post, they don't deliver packages.

00:19:51They just deliver the, sorry, we missed you from the depot. Yeah. I mean, it used to be that they

00:19:59just leave your package. They would just leave your package on the door. Thank you, David. Thank

00:20:06you, C2. They just leave your package on the door, but we live in a low-trust society with porch

00:20:10pirates now, right? So people can't, you can't leave people's stuff on the door. The amount of,

00:20:16of high-trust society is just incredibly efficient. A low-trust society is just economic decay waiting

00:20:23for collapse. It's so expensive. It's so expensive and time-consuming to live in a low-trust society.

00:20:32People get resentful when you're generous. I mean, geez, if not a thanks, at least a minor

00:20:37consideration and respect for me and my responsibilities. So they get resentful when

00:20:42you're generous. People get resentful when you're generous. I don't think so. I don't think so.

00:20:51Like, think, think of the people on, on welfare, right? When was the last time, the welfare state

00:20:58is a single mother state, so we can pretty much equate the two. When was the last time a single

00:21:03mother went on social media and gave something like the following speech? I really want to thank

00:21:12mostly the men of society for paying the taxes, and I'm really sorry that I ended up having children

00:21:18without a father around. I really, really appreciate how hard people work to provide me housing and food

00:21:24and health care and education and dental care. I really, really appreciate the men who get up early,

00:21:32who go to work, and I take the money out of their bank account through the state. And I'm really sorry

00:21:38that you have less money for your family because I did not plan correctly. I will work as hard as I

00:21:43can to become independent, but I just really want to show my absolute deep, sincere, and grateful

00:21:48appreciation for everything that the taxpayers are doing for me to keep me going. It never happens.

00:21:58And in fact, it doesn't even cross the mind of most of the people on welfare at all.

00:22:02What happens is they get entitled to it, and then you get no thanks. All you get is rage if there's

00:22:15any cuts or interruptions, right? That's all you get. When was the last time that women as a whole went on

00:22:25social media and said, and I know it happens, but it's not very common, and said, you know,

00:22:29I really want to thank men for all of the hard work they did in building the buildings and the

00:22:34roads and the infrastructure and the electrical grid and the sewage system and like all of the

00:22:39infrastructure that we take for granted. You know, if you've ever lived out in the woods,

00:22:43the fact that you can turn a tap and get water without having to boil it or use water purification

00:22:47tablets is, I still appreciate it because I spent a year and a half living in the, well,

00:22:51a year or so living in the woods. So all of the amenities of the world make sense.

00:22:57Women love jewelry. When was the last time they said, I really want to thank men for doing the

00:23:02hard and dangerous work of mining, which is where we get the gold and the diamonds from.

00:23:06I really do appreciate it. And I get to wear these lovely trinkets because men are out in the hot sun

00:23:11or down in the underworld like dwarves getting black lung and hunched backs from all of their mining

00:23:17activities. Never happens, right? Never happens. So when you give people stuff, particularly through the

00:23:26power of the state, they simply get entitled and they cannot express gratitude because expressing

00:23:32gratitude would be to reduce their ability to exploit without a conscience, without being triggered by

00:23:39their conscience. So when you're exploiting people, you have to dehumanize them. Otherwise you feel bad

00:23:43and exploitation isn't fun if you feel bad, right? So they can't express gratitude. All they can do

00:23:49is say, well, I'm entitled, right? And then they express rage. If there's any interruption in the

00:23:57flow of exploited values that come their way. I mean, there was this video that came out a day or

00:24:03two ago, and it was this morbidly obese woman talking about how much she needs

00:24:08SNAP, Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program or something like that, how much she needs SNAP

00:24:16food for her four kids. And she was, of course, playing the victim and half crying and all the

00:24:23other women are like patting her on their arm. You're okay, honey, you're doing fine. You're okay.

00:24:29And I mean, it's the optics are wild to me that you have a morbidly obese woman saying she needs more

00:24:37food for her family. And again, her childhood was probably horrible. And I get all of that. But

00:24:46and the comments, it's actually interesting. It's interesting to see the comments because the

00:24:52comments were like, looks like she's eating all the food, which I thought was a little mean,

00:24:55but I can understand the joke. And of course, it was, why would she have four kids if she can't

00:25:02afford to feed them? You know, just that basic stuff, right? Now, of course, she was saying,

00:25:06I was working three jobs. Now, that's kind of tough, because if you're working three jobs,

00:25:11who's taking care of your kids? But she actually said, was saying that I was working three jobs

00:25:14when she first started having children. But there's no thanks, right? She's probably taken

00:25:24over the course of these four kids lives, I don't know exactly how old they are. But

00:25:34people on welfare, you know, again, assuming they're getting subsidized healthcare, if not free

00:25:44healthcare, subsidized housing, if not free housing, subsidized food, if not free food,

00:25:48the schools are paid for by the taxpayers, the daycare is probably paid for largely by the taxpayers.

00:25:55So she's probably getting, I mean, it's really hard to say. But I know that you have to earn over

00:26:04$8,200,000 to get the same value. So let's just say she's getting $60,000 worth of value.

00:26:16US, it's probably a little low when you add all the things up together. But let's say that she's

00:26:21getting $60,000. That's a huge amount of money, massive amount of money. I mean, the first 60,000

00:26:27is the big thing, you know, get a million, get an extra 60,000, doesn't mean diminishing gains,

00:26:31right? But she's getting $60,000 a year, right? So over 20 years, that's $1.2 million, which she

00:26:42doesn't have to pay tax on. So it's actually even more. She's getting $60,000 worth of value,

00:26:47doesn't have to pay tax on it. So that's probably closer to 80, 90, maybe even 100,000, depending on

00:26:52how you count it. But we'll just go bare minimum. So if someone gave you $1.2 million so that you

00:27:00really didn't have to work, what would you say? Wouldn't you thank them enormously? Wouldn't you

00:27:11be like in tears with gratitude? If you had a bunch of kids, and then somebody said, we're

00:27:19going to give you $60,000 a year tax free? Wouldn't you be incredibly grateful? Wouldn't

00:27:26you be in tears of gratitude? That shit doesn't happen. It does not happen. Generosity through

00:27:34the state always begets entitlement. You owe me. I need these. Who's going to feed my

00:27:40kids? Well, you, you had them. I didn't. I'll feed my kids. You feed your kids. How about

00:27:52that? How about that? Having to teach people that relationships should be reciprocal is a bit

00:28:00of an eye opener. Yeah. When virtue is not valued in society, and it usually costs you

00:28:07how long can you afford virtue? Yeah, but Oh, sorry, I'm not talking to you. I missed the

00:28:12username. Yeah, you still owe me an apology. All right. Chris says, I think there's a lack

00:28:17of vulnerability present when people don't reciprocate. Like you say, they close up with a

00:28:21hard shell around the heart. Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris. Oh, the people who exploit you,

00:28:33they just, they just, they're hiding their vulnerability. I'm sorry. I don't mean to laugh

00:28:39at you. I'm really, it just, I don't mean to laugh at you. I'm really sorry. But that really

00:28:46is funny. Oh my God. No, they just, they, they're lazy and they want to take stuff with lack of

00:28:56vulnerability. You know, they, they want to reciprocate. They're just too tenderhearted and

00:29:01don't want to show it. It's like, no, they're exploiters, bro. My God. Oh my God. Please don't

00:29:10project all of the sensitivity onto exploiters. They're just cold hearted takers. That's it.

00:29:16Now, bad childhood, blah, blah, blah, blah. But who cares? Right? Who cares? I mean, some,

00:29:22someone might care about an exploiter's bad childhood, but that someone can never be

00:29:26the person they're exploiting or have exploited. Right? I mean, to take an extreme example,

00:29:32a therapist might work with a rapist to figure out his bad childhood, but his victims should not be

00:29:37those people to help him out. Right? All right. I don't go to that extreme, but if I need help and

00:29:46get it, I will do a favor, like buy a nice meal for them when I can afford to do so. That's what

00:29:50a friend does. Yeah. Why are bad people much better at detecting good people than good people are at

00:29:56detecting bad people? What a great question. Because evil people run the education system.

00:30:02Right? And so evil people running the education system, they're not, evil people are not going

00:30:08to teach you how to, how to identify evil people. Right? That would be the, like the lion stalking

00:30:13a zebra, shooting up a flare saying, I'm here. So no, I mean, the educational system in the media

00:30:20is largely run by immoral or corrupt or evil people. And so they want to reverse everything.

00:30:25They want to reverse everything. So the two instincts are completely screwed up.

00:30:31So they will never tell you how to identify bad people. Like, so for instance, one, there are two,

00:30:40two of the most replicable instances in psychology or social sciences. Do you know what the two of

00:30:45them are? The two most robust findings that replicate all of the world incredibly consistently.

00:30:52Do you know, do you know what these two things are? These are the two things that you're not

00:30:57allowed to talk about, because these are the two things that will help protect you.

00:31:02Right? So the two things that will help you understand the world and protect you, you're

00:31:06not allowed to talk about because very corrupt people are in charge of the information that

00:31:11we consume, except Twitter. So do you know what are the two most robust and replicable,

00:31:19replicable, replicable findings in psychology and the social sciences?

00:31:39All right. IQ is one. Yes, that's right. IQ is one of the most robust and around the world

00:31:45replicable genetics. No. No. No. It's a bit obscure. So this, I don't know exactly where

00:32:01they stand in the hierarchy, but two of the most replicable things in science and IQ, sorry,

00:32:08I got distracted. No, it's not family dynamics. So the two most replicated studies in psychology

00:32:17and social sciences are IQ and stereotypes. Are stereotypes accurate?

00:32:26Stereotypes don't just emerge out of nowhere. And of course, you wouldn't want to take a general

00:32:30stereotype and apply it to every single person. But yeah, stereotypes and IQ are the two most

00:32:36replicated studies in psychology. And one of the reasons why people think psychology is largely

00:32:41bullshit is because its most robust findings are suppressed viciously, right? So yeah, you can't

00:32:52talk about these things, right? All right.

00:33:00All right. Let's see. Let me get to your comments. Great comments today. Thank you everyone so much.

00:33:13The shock that men would dare ask what is in the relationship for him or what does she bring to

00:33:17the table? Oh yeah, of course, all women's preferences are standards. All men's preferences

00:33:22are based on insecurity and hysterical need to control women, right? So I mean, I'll steal directly

00:33:29from the whatever podcast because I think his name is Brian, the man they call Brian. He was having a

00:33:35debate with women and he was saying, if your man, if your boyfriend doesn't want you to go to the

00:33:41club, doesn't want you to go to the bar and drink with your girlfriends, is that bad? Oh, that's so bad.

00:33:46He's so insecure. He should trust me. He's too controlling. That's controlling. Okay. Well, what if your man

00:33:52wants to go to a strip club? Oh, that's bad. He shouldn't do that, right? Well, wouldn't he just say,

00:33:56well, you got to trust me. You're insecure if you don't want me to go to a strip club.

00:34:04And Brian's argument, which was a very solid, a good argument, was that the man's chances of

00:34:12sleeping with the stripper are virtually zero, but 90% of the men of the club will have sex with a

00:34:17reasonably attractive woman if she offers it. So the relationship is far safer if the man goes to

00:34:24the strip club than if the woman goes to the club and gets drunk. Right. So yeah, asking women what

00:34:30they bring to the table. Well, see, but women now have had three generations of old age pensions in

00:34:37the welfare state. So they don't need women. You put the welfare state in and then you tell women they

00:34:44don't need men and they believe you. I get it. I get it. If I get $100 worth of free groceries delivered

00:34:53to my house every day, I don't need no stinking grocery store. It's not complicated, right? The

00:34:58welfare state was put in place in part to convince women empirically that they don't need men

00:35:04and therefore make women less appealing, more entitled, less dateable, and to reduce the birth rate.

00:35:12All right. Somebody says, Steph, I want to be clear with you.

00:35:20Good, because being opaque with me is not helpful. I've had hours and hours of value from you over

00:35:24the years, and it's only fairly recently that I have subscribed to you on a monthly subscription now

00:35:29that my finances are becoming more stable. My plan is to build up my therapeutic coaching and I will be

00:35:34able to increase my subscription. Plus, I'm spreading your values to my clients, as I mentioned.

00:35:37I've also spread it to my friends and family. I've not hoarded the knowledge. I just wanted

00:35:41to get this off. Yeah, I mean, your finances have to be in a pretty bad state where a $10 a month

00:35:52subscription is the difference between having a home and living on the streets. It's just a matter

00:35:59of priorities. And this is not to do with donating to me. Do it or don't do it. I just sort of make the

00:36:04case. So everyone thinks, well, I'll have a reciprocal relationship, but we'll take my example.

00:36:11So people say, well, I'll donate to Steph when my finances are more stable. But that's a passive

00:36:16thing. And it's not even true. There's very few people in the world whose finances are so bad

00:36:22that if they subscribe for $5 or $10 a month to me, they're going to end up homeless.

00:36:27I mean, come on, there's always something you can cut. It's literally a coffee a month.

00:36:32You know, like there's a $3 subscription at freedomain.com slash donate.

00:36:38I would not, I will not believe anyone. And I'll just be honest with you, right? And I could be

00:36:43wrong, but I will not believe anyone who says, Steph, I can't afford $3, $5 or $10 a month. I just

00:36:49don't have the money.

00:36:50I just don't believe it. I really don't. I don't believe it. I mean, and I wouldn't say that to

00:36:59people. I can say, I'm not comfortable. I don't want to. I'm not happy. It makes me anxious.

00:37:07But to say, I can't afford, like, especially, you know, you're obviously an intelligent guy.

00:37:14Uh, you've got, uh, computers, cell phones, uh, internet, uh, you've got, you probably have,

00:37:19I mean, not, there are, there are, there are luxuries that we all have, right?

00:37:27And so the idea that you can't subscribe because you just don't have the money is essentially not

00:37:36true. It's essentially not true. And I'm not nagging you about this. I'm just saying that you

00:37:43need to understand how you come across to other people. Thank you, Chris. You just need to

00:37:49understand. And I'm not trying to get you to donate. Honestly, I just, maybe you've been around

00:37:55people who aren't direct, blunt, and honest with you. But if someone says to me, Steph, I couldn't

00:38:00afford $3 a month. I couldn't afford $5 a month. I just don't believe you. Now, I'm not saying you

00:38:05should spend it, but you could. There's, there's almost nobody in the West where it's like, well, my,

00:38:12my necessary expenses are $2,000 a month. My, my income is $2,000 a month. And if I subscribe

00:38:23for a couple of extra bucks a month, I'm gonna, I'm gonna get kicked out of my apartment. I'm

00:38:27gonna go hungry. I'm like, that's just not the way that life works. That's not the way. I mean,

00:38:34do you go out to eat? Uh, do you have a coffee out once in a while? Uh, do you pick up a bagel

00:38:39in a drive-thru? Like, I'm just, I'm just saying that it's a choice. And you, you want

00:38:45to recognize that it's a choice for you. Don't hide behind the determinism of made-up math.

00:38:51I'm just being blunt with you. And I want you to tell the truth to people because the more

00:38:55you get into the habit of telling the truth to people, the higher quality people you can

00:39:00have in your life. Because if you say stuff like, my finances are becoming more stable,

00:39:05and I, I, I, years and years I took value from you, but now my finances are becoming more stable

00:39:12so I can, uh, do, do, do a subscription. The problem is, is that the people with intelligence

00:39:21and honesty, uh, won't believe you. And I'm not saying that you're sitting there, you know,

00:39:26rubbing your hands and consciously lying to me. But you have to really think before you

00:39:31communicate and make sure that you're telling as much truth as possible. Now, if somebody says to

00:39:36me, if you'd have said to me, I felt uncomfortable, I didn't, uh, I didn't want to, I, I was having

00:39:41trouble with generosity. I, blah, blah, blah. I chose to have a cup of coffee out rather than

00:39:46fun philosophy. Hey, I got no problem with that. The fact that you didn't subscribe is not the

00:39:50problem. I appreciate you starting to subscribe. And my, my gift to you for your subscription is that

00:40:01you got to tell the truth. And there's nobody really, who's going to believe you if you say,

00:40:08I couldn't do five bucks a month, because that would have broken me down financially, and I would

00:40:14have ended up living on the streets. I couldn't do it, right? So if you blame your finances as to

00:40:19why you're not subscribing, nobody's going to believe you. Now, listen, don't get me wrong.

00:40:25If you're a homeless guy, and you're listening to this somehow, right? Whatever, right? Then I get

00:40:30that. But that's not you, right? And that's not really a thing. So don't make excuses that are

00:40:42not true. Sorry, I mean, just, I just want to be blunt with you. I want to be honest with you.

00:40:49So don't tell me that you didn't subscribe, because your finances were unstable or whatever

00:40:58it is, right? If it was a priority to you, you would have subscribed, it was not a priority to

00:41:04you, which I'm fine with. I mean, obviously, philosophy is a very high priority for me.

00:41:10But if it's not a high priority for you high enough to make it a priority in order to spend three or five

00:41:15or 10 bucks a month or whatever, right? That's fine. Then just tell me it wasn't a high priority.

00:41:20And I let other people pay for the value that I was consuming. And I appreciated not having ads

00:41:25in your show. And I just I was a free rider. Okay, I was a free rider. It happens. It happens.

00:41:35But don't say it's because of some external factor. Like I didn't have the money or my finances

00:41:41were unstable, whatever that means, right? If it was a high enough priority, right? I mean,

00:41:49so let's take a silly example, right? And I just really want to be frank with this, because I want

00:41:54you guys as a whole in general, and I have this standard for myself, and I fail it from time to

00:41:58time. So I'm not speaking from any place of, you know, infinite floating on a mountain superiority.

00:42:04But let me let me give you an example, right? So if you were sick, and the life saving medicine was $5

00:42:23a month, let's say you needed to take it for a couple of years, would you die? Right? Of course,

00:42:30you wouldn't. You would find a way to pay the $5 a month in order to survive. Now, just for the less

00:42:38intelligent among you, I know this isn't most people. I'm not saying that I'm equivalent to

00:42:43life saving medicine. This is an extreme example to show you that if the doctor said, well, you're

00:42:51dying, and this medicine for five bucks a month, you have to pay that or you're going to die, would you

00:42:59say, oh, you know what, my finances are too unstable right now? No, you would, you would find a way

00:43:06to pay the $5 a month to get the medicine to stay alive. So when people tell me, it's impossible,

00:43:16I couldn't do it because of my finances. I just know that's not true. Now, that is not to say you

00:43:22have to subscribe or donate. This is not that's not the conversation. The conversation isn't,

00:43:26well, you have to donate that subscribe. That's that's not the conversation is about

00:43:31don't pretend that your free will is constrained by something it's not in fact constrained by.

00:43:39So when people say, well, I can afford a cell phone, I can afford an internet plan, I can afford a place

00:43:44to live, I can afford a car, maybe I can afford coffees out, I can afford dinners out, I can afford

00:43:49treats and this and that and the other. I can afford desserts, which you don't need and a kind of

00:43:53poisonous anyway. I can afford all of these things. But Steph, I can't afford to support philosophy.

00:44:01Like, you can I'm not again, I'm not this is not an argument that you should. But don't tell me you

00:44:07didn't have a choice. My finances were too unstable. It's not true. You chose to not, I mean, own your

00:44:15choices. Because if you give yourself excuses in the past, you're going to give yourself excuses in the

00:44:19future, and you're going to limit your choices, do not give yourself access to excuses. Excuses

00:44:26diminish you, they diminish your free will, they diminish the honor and glory of your existence.

00:44:32And excuses keep people of great integrity away from you. Because people with great integrity,

00:44:40people and by integrity, I simply mean you don't make up excuses, right? People with great integrity

00:44:45don't like spending time around people who make excuses. Because it's kind of infectious. We all

00:44:52have that undertone, that tendency, that desire, that drive to make excuses. Every kid, kids are

00:44:57born that way. We have to outgrow it, right? It wasn't my fault. Or, you know, the guy last night,

00:45:05every time I found this kind of annoying, and I called him on it like half a dozen times.

00:45:09I actually had to tell the audio cleanup to not take out breathing noises. Because every time I'd ask

00:45:19him a question, he didn't like it, he'd go, you know, there's this impatient sigh, right?

00:45:28So, that's kind of unpleasant to be around, right? So, be somebody who owns every choice.

00:45:38If you didn't subscribe, and you didn't donate, that is fine. The issue that I'm talking about here

00:45:46is not, oh my god, you've got to go and subscribe and donate. Don't get me wrong,

00:45:50I'd be happy if you did. But the issue here is, when I hear excuses that are false.

00:45:58When I hear excuses that are false. And some excuses are genuine, right? Like, I was late to

00:46:03the job interview because I got t-boned by a drunk driver. Okay, that's a valid excuse, right?

00:46:08But, I couldn't afford five bucks a month is not true. Now, just own it. Don't give yourself

00:46:18excuses. Don't diminish the glory of your free will by making up a situation where you just,

00:46:24you just had no choice. I couldn't subscribe because I would starve or be homeless or whatever

00:46:32it is, right? I couldn't make my car payments. I'd lose my car. I'd lose my job, right? But that's

00:46:38not true. Everyone in this conversation, everyone listening to this, you can afford five bucks a

00:46:44month. Now, please understand, if you choose not to subscribe for five bucks a month or whatever,

00:46:50three bucks a month, if you choose not to subscribe, I'm fine with that. I really am genuinely and totally

00:46:55fine with that. Just don't lie to me about it. And don't lie to yourself about it. You know,

00:47:04if it was five bucks a month to stay alive, you'd find that five bucks you wouldn't even, oh, I mean,

00:47:10I give up one coffee out a month and I get to live? Okay, I give up one coffee a month and I can

00:47:15support philosophy? Yes. So, just don't, because you're, and the reason I'm, is you're a life coach

00:47:22here, right? Therapeutic coaching. So, if, when you're telling me about how you're taking my

00:47:28material and using it in your therapeutic coaching to make money, I'm fine with that too.

00:47:34But if you're a therapeutic coach, then you want to teach people to take 100% ownership of their

00:47:39choices. No excuses. No excuses. So, don't give me an excuse when you're telling me about how you're

00:47:46making money from my material. That's all. And I'm fine with that too, but that's all.

00:47:50All right. Again, great comments and questions, right?

00:47:58Was it a huge shock that most people or a large percentage have no desire for universalism in

00:48:02ethics or behavior? Yeah, I mean, I've gone through a whole bunch of like, what don't I

00:48:06understand about the world that things are happening that I don't anticipate?

00:48:14I mean, I remember when the media first started going after me back in 2008 or something like

00:48:20that. I was like, well, hang on. I mean, we're talking about child abuse and child abusers and

00:48:26voluntary relationships. And I was raised that if you're not happy in a relationship, you can just

00:48:30leave. And right. So, I was a bit surprised. And I was like, I mean, I had to sit there and think

00:48:36until my brain bled through my ears or something like, what am I not getting? What am I missing? What

00:48:41am I not getting? And what I understood was that my mother understood the world far better than I did.

00:48:45So, she could do all these terrible things in full. Like, there was probably hundreds of people

00:48:51who could hear me getting beaten because we lived in a variety of apartment buildings, the paper-thin

00:48:56walls and so on. And nobody ever called the cops. And so, my mom was perfectly safe to loudly beat

00:49:01us. And she knew that nobody would do anything. So, my mom understood the world better than I did.

00:49:07Aren't women just harnessing the power of nature? Like, building a spinning wheel by a waterfall

00:49:14for energy simps are just programmed to be simps? Well, then you wouldn't call them simps,

00:49:19which is a negative term, right? So, I would say no. Because in a non-status,

00:49:37society, like in a free society, a society without statism, simps wouldn't work. Women would

00:49:47actually need to provide value in order to be taken care of over the course of their life.

00:49:53Because a woman who sells her body on the internet is clearly thinking in the short term, which means

00:50:00she's probably going to blow all the money, which means what's she going to do from 30 to 85,

00:50:05right? That's more than half a century. That's 55 years. And so, there would be enough warnings,

00:50:10right? See, one of the things that we don't do in society anymore is we don't let people serve as a

00:50:15warning to others. Because we just rush in and save them and shore up their bad decisions and so on,

00:50:21right? A guy says, maybe the dude was shaking the woman in the wheelchair to get his money back.

00:50:29Yeah, not reading that comment. I don't expect you to apologize for disagreeing with me. Tons of

00:50:41people disagree with me. It's because you were kind of rude and insulting. All right.

00:50:49Entitled people demand more from generosity. Anxious people refuse to take it or apologize profusely.

00:50:55Yeah. It's so rare that when women do show appreciation towards men, it feels like a

00:51:00grift. Yeah. I mean, I remember a woman in my 20s and I was paying the bills and she expected

00:51:09thanks when she made dinner. She expect thanks when she did the laundry. And I said, I don't get any

00:51:15thanks for paying the bills. Again, beginning of the end, right? Do we know what the average IQ is

00:51:25for the single moms on welfare? Well, single moms seem to have IQs on average in the low 90s. So

00:51:33again, this is nothing to do with individuals, right?

00:51:42Every time there's a power failure, and they are very rare, when the power comes back, I use the

00:51:46opportunity to teach my daughter a lesson in gratitude for what many take for granted. It seems

00:51:49to really resonate. Oh, yeah, for sure. Oh, yeah. I mean, if you pass by construction, you say to your

00:51:57kids, hey, let's find the women, right? You have people digging culverts out in sewers. Hey, let's find the

00:52:02woman, right? Somebody says, oh, this is the person earlier. Nice to see you, Simph. I completely agree

00:52:12with you that generosity produces a sense of entitlement in exploitive people. I've also

00:52:16observed that resentment, as that resentment, which I would say likely comes from a position of not

00:52:21seeming like a mooch, and the reminder that they are not generous or reciprocal. Sorry, I don't quite

00:52:27follow that. Bernardine Bluntley on ThemTube does really good content, just turned 35. Anything men

00:52:38can do, we can do better. Plays clips of all the very hard, difficult jobs women don't do. Yeah. Yeah,

00:52:45I mean, a lot of jobs are just mandated, made up. HR, air-conditioned offices, and

00:52:52preventing men from getting jobs. I want to be equal to men, and I want a man who's

00:53:02better than me. Square circle. Incoming.

00:53:11They say, perhaps they aren't grateful for the welfare, in part because they understand that all

00:53:14the resources they are given are coerced from people rather than given voluntarily.

00:53:17Slave system, slave society symptom. Yeah, for sure.

00:53:24Oh, yeah. The difficult jobs, oil rigs where they wrap chain around a running drill, deep

00:53:28underwater welding, mining on small carts like we used to in gym class, as they were lowered down a

00:53:32slope into a mine. Yeah, I remember my father took me on a tour of a diamond mine in Africa when I was

00:53:37there at the age of 16, and I just remember opening a door, the wind was astounding, because they have

00:53:43to keep the air circulating so much that the wind is just astounding.

00:53:47This reminds me of, quote, empaths. I was once in a Facebook group with them. Let me tell you they

00:53:54are the most vile and aggressive people. They are always the victims of an evil narcissist. They also

00:53:57claim that they are taken advantage of due to how kind and generous they are, pure projection and lack

00:54:01of self-knowledge. Well, these are all the people who feed corrupt people and then complain that there

00:54:06are corrupt people. Whatever you feed, you get more off, right? So if you give resources to corrupt

00:54:12people, you are in part responsible for the existence of corrupt people, right?

00:54:21Good point. Give it to me straight, Steph, says Chris. My excuse for exploiters is a bit startling to

00:54:27me in hindsight. I appreciate your feedback. Thank you. That's right. Stereotypes are pretty spot on

00:54:31across the board, right? IQ. Is that why people like Freud, Adler and Jung contributed enormous

00:54:39concepts to psychology? But Adler not so much, but Freud and Jung were both myth makers. And Freud was an

00:54:46absolute monster. Freud, and I did a whole speech about this at a Night for Freedom in New York

00:54:50some years ago. But yeah, Freud was an absolute monster, a cocaine addict who gave his friends

00:54:57cocaine and praised cocaine and was just brutal to his clients. And his clients came to him. There

00:55:05were a lot of women who came to Freud and were talking about how they had been sexually assaulted

00:55:10by mothers and fathers in their family. And he started to talk about this. He got threatened. He had

00:55:15six kids at the time, I guess. And then this is where he came up with the Oedipus complex and the

00:55:19electrocomplex, which is, well, it's not that the young man was, the boy was sexually assaulted,

00:55:27molested, or raped by his mother. It's that he secretly wanted to be, wants to sleep with his

00:55:31mother and kill his father and so on, right? Well, if you're sexually assaulted by your mother,

00:55:36you are going to be enraged at your father for marrying a woman and not protecting you, marrying a

00:55:39woman like that, and not protecting you. Or if the girl is sexually assaulted, raped, molested by her

00:55:49father, then he's, it's a wish. It didn't really happen. It's just a fantasy. It's a desire. It's a

00:55:54dream. So he set back children's rights like 100 years. And I would argue was one of the main reasons

00:56:00that led to World War I. You read my question one word off. Oh, sorry about that. Why are bad people

00:56:08much better at detecting good people than good people are at detecting good people? I mean, I think

00:56:12it would be the same reason that we're still not trained to detect virtue. I appreciate your answer

00:56:18the other question as well. We're going to go donor only in a few minutes. So again, you know,

00:56:22you know, the drill.

00:56:31Um, thank you for the tip. I appreciate that.

00:56:40All right.

00:56:44Um,

00:56:48you have sold me nearly instantly, but we are broke, not broken. And the reason is,

00:56:55is IT fraud is sabotage. So I don't quite follow that. But I appreciate the tip.

00:57:02In some cultures, you're not respected because it's viewed as what you should do.

00:57:05Asking for reciprocity is like asking for a participation trophy.

00:57:11The average draft beer is about $5 at the bar. Oh, yeah. So if you drink, you can afford to

00:57:15support philosophy. And if you buy a beer at a bar, one beer, you could have supported philosophy.

00:57:23So it's just a matter of being honest about your priorities. Whatever you do is what you

00:57:28prioritize. And if you prioritize getting your coffee out or having a beer, as if that's what

00:57:33you spend money on, and then you don't subscribe to philosophy, then you are valuing the coffee and

00:57:39the beer above philosophy. Right? By their fruits shall you know them. Judge, judge actions, not

00:57:47words or intentions, right? So if you want to know what you value in life, just look at what you spend

00:57:53money on and what you don't spend money on. That's what you, that's what you value. And I know that and

00:57:59you know that and everybody knows that, right? Because voluntary trade is the empirical

00:58:03test of hierarchical values. All right.

00:58:18I have a question. I have questions to discuss with you regarding the man versus woman daily

00:58:22bickering since one ad crashed the market to address innovation and communication spurring

00:58:26friction for family. Hence the public delineation using code, cash and constant vibrations to address

00:58:32radio communications failure. Let me have a look at this. Can I see this? Let me just have a look

00:58:43here. I'm not quite sure I'm following what it is that you're talking about. But I will have a look

00:58:47at the ad here to see what it does mean. That's very poetic. So I'm sorry, I can't quite follow the

00:58:59question. Thanks, Steph. That hit me in the feels. And that's what I needed. Good.

00:59:13I am not assertive with my with others or with myself. I need to be more honest. I find being

00:59:18honest difficult. This comment is me being honest. I make self excuses and I make excuses for others

00:59:22too. Yeah, it's a deeply human experience. I share it with you. Everybody here if they're honest

00:59:26shares that with you. So I appreciate that.

00:59:34This is a sarcastic comment. My money is locked in a safe guarded by someone with a gun who will shoot

00:59:39me down if I try to use any of it to sub to you. Well, if that was true, then you literally can't

00:59:42sub. Short of that, it's I chose not to. Your choice. That's right. That's right.

00:59:55Thank you, Steph. That has certainly given me a prod about honesty, which I needed. I struggle with

00:59:59assertiveness and I'm getting better, but I still have some way to go. Yeah, and I appreciate that.

01:00:02And and so on. Right.

01:00:11Ba ba ba. All right.

01:00:20Biden once said a woman can do anything a man could do but better in one of his many pandering

01:00:25moments. Yeah, for sure. It's demonic, right? It's really demonic.

01:00:32All right. So we're going to go to donors only on the locals platform and we'll chat about a couple

01:00:38of spicy things there. So we're going to go in 30 seconds, just a freedomain.com slash donate to

01:00:45help out the show. If you're listening to this later, I really would appreciate it. Happy Father's

01:00:49Day. Happy Father's Day. And I hope that you commit to being a great dad and having the children enjoy

01:00:55your company and look to you for wisdom. And listen to this call I did yesterday about the really

01:01:03shocking circumstance within the family where a guy was, he rated himself as a father at two. And

01:01:09that was provoking some significant negative response for him. We'll see on the other side.
