 Good day, May 40 here at Calamaris-Bladston Airport So I was just reading an article in the New York Times by Grant Walls We know so Grant Wall was a soccer writer for Sports Illustrated and She published an op-ed in the New York Times and she's gonna protect her husband's legacy And you hear this a lot of people. I'm just protecting my reputation. It's protecting my legacy And she's concerned that anti-vax activists Trying to claim that you know Grant Wall died suddenly is some sort of negative reaction to Covid vaccine, but she's gonna fight back. She's gonna protect his legacy, right? She's not gonna go in for any Nonsense that goes against what the public health officials tell us But that comes as a great relief to you But guess what? We don't own our legacy And we don't own or control our reputation because our legacy and our reputation Exists in the minds of other people and we don't get to control that so One of the most common ways people go wrong is They try to control things that are not under their control When you control try to control stuff, it's not under your control That's just gonna lead to misery so She's publishing an op-ed about how she's gonna protect, you know, her husband's legacy But her husband's legacy doesn't belong to her and it doesn't belong to her husband because it exists in the mind of other people and We don't get to control We don't get to control other people's minds. You know, I know this is a bit of a shock and a bit of a bother I don't get to control your mind. I don't get to control what you think about me. I don't get to control my reputation I don't get to control my legacy So she says a grand wall was a loving husband. I would always protect his legacy And That's really sweet and you know, of course, we say all sorts of things that are not true in the service of our emotions It's time we face reality We don't get to control our reputation or our legacy because it exists in the minds of other people We have no control over the minds of other people She writes as soon as the news became public Her husband the great wall have died rumors and disinformation began to spread And soon strangers began blaming great walls death on COVID-19 vaccines Okay, there's there's nothing you can do about it so You think that writing an op-ed in the New York Times is gonna make any difference people who spread, you know, anti-COVID vaccine Misinformation, all right, they're not hanging on what the New York Times has to say I knew that disinformation for bears would blame grand staff on COVID vaccines. Yeah, well, it's nothing you can do I knew that debunking what these people believe head-on in public risk giving them the attention they crave and invites for the trolling Well, isn't this kind of what you're doing right now So she's apparently infectious disease specialist and epidemiologist and she serves on the Biden-Harris transition COVID advisory board so she she had an autopsy performed on her husband and This is a concrete step, right? So any reasonably minded person may pay attention to the autopsy result because Autopsy results usually, you know, done in a pretty serious manner in first-world nations They keep an eye on what kills people like death certificates or top seas not perfect in first-world nations, but You tend to be pretty doggone good So she had the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner Perform the autopsy all right some of the world's top pathologists And so apparently grants a order the large blood vessel carrying blood from his heart and ruptured And so she put out a written statement she agreed to interviews with the New York Times CBS NPR and the Peter King podcast But I think the people who are pervading misinformation about her husband's death are not going to be Persuaded by what the New York Times CBS NPR and the Peter King podcast have to say So she says the vaccine disinformation playbook includes the use of fake experts logical fallacies and possible expectations cherry-picked data and conspiracy theories But a single qualified medical or public health expert has supported the claim that my husband died from COVID vaccination Yeah Yeah, so sometimes in life there is a big disconnect between what the public believe and what the experts believe And I'm not one who likes the explanation of people are just crazy All right, you can see people As being fairly heroic for refusing to believe in things they don't understand You can castigate them for being stupid and castigate them for being crazy But is it there's a certain Independence in mind The people display when they say, oh, I'm not gonna buy into anything. I don't understand So I think that's what's going on here You know a lot of fair dinkum Americans and fair dinkum Aussies simply refuse to buy into anything But they don't understand Also fascinating article I never did some information profiteers and average tragedies like France for their personal gain They retraumatize families they compromise our ability to interpret information and distinguish truth from lies putting all of us at risk You don't get to control the narrative you don't get to control what other people think So what you can call them all sorts of negative names But they are independent souls who refuse to buy things that they can't understand It's no more natural that many people are concerned about putting something into their body British American get a mate. How are you? It's good to see you here as I hang out at the Gladstone Airport waiting for my plane Leaving on a jet plane So it's not just disinformation profiteers who leverage tragedies for their personal game Guess what? We all leverage almost everything in life for either our personal game or ideological game All right, the great reset. There's nothing new about that We always try to use everything that happens to our advantage So everyone has a hero system and this this epidemiologist says I believe in karma So we all have to believe in something right to feel better About how confusing and unfair the world is and how trivial and inconsequential Customs one world and partner free compliance the Quads like like you have two double three five to Brisbane I'm cruelty for to having you on board today. We welcome back our business Announcements One log emerald and sapphire customers general warning will come in shortly Fast, you know, we're required to wear a face mask on offer a shiny domestic client We appreciate that some customers may wish to wear a face mask when traveling flow of kids are available at the punch gate And on board of your life mask in preparation for your client Please check your signal and have your boarding pass ready to scan as you pass through the gate 10% of people still wear face masks Please proceed the security screening in preparation for warning for the service to get number three Okay, very exciting Ordering the plane for the big city the big smoke of Brisbane. She said I believe in karma, right? Some people get comfort. I believe in Jesus. I believe in Torah. I believe in God Believe in the Great Spirit. I believe in science. We all have to believe in something Have a hero system Announcements So she said calmers what brought grant into my life karma is what sustained our marriage through trials adversities Endless what pressures that demanded demanded every piece of it. So, yeah, we all have to Believe in some sort of greater meaning system, which we usually inherit from our community that makes our life come here and gives it Importance that transcends our own efforts, so we attach ourselves usually to our community and Attach ourselves to that hero system that meaning system and you know, we interpret all the random things that happen to us through Through the lens of our own meaning system So some people have a meaning system or hero system They're preferring that they can to Know all other people's this can also be called racist. So some people Their system is you know my kin before else and my blood before all else other people almost my That's my anti-racism. That's my hero system So whatever we hold sacred just blinds us to reality But it also You know shores us up through the difficulties of life provides comfort That you know all our efforts are not for vain because we're connected to something in turn So another really interesting article here in the New York Times About a professor who got fired because she showed a painting of the prophet Muhammad All right, this is at Hamline University So she's teaching an art history class. She shows a painting of the prophet Muhammad She warned people what was coming up, but simply by showing a painting of the prophet She got fired and was labeled Islamophobic. I mean isn't diversity wonderful That all the norms of Western scholarship you can now trash them in the name of You know accepting other people's value systems other people's hero systems and allowing them to transcend the house So we've got to give up free inquiry so that we can be multicultural This is Erica Prater. She's an adjunct professor of art history She knew many Muslims have deeply held religious beliefs that prohibit the pictures of the prophet Muhammad So, you know, why shouldn't we write a society? I've been in cave to Minority groups or religious beliefs that matter how deeply held What does it matter how deeply held? Someone's beliefs are why should someone who doesn't hold those beliefs cave? And then I love they call it the prophet Muhammad capital P Unless you're a Muslim He's not the prophet It's like saying Jesus the Christ. They don't do that Why is the media cuck to Muslims and simply accept Muslim religious Faith statements as factual truth Here in the New York Times they call it the prophet Muhammad As though this is like some objective truth So she's teaching art history in the syllabus She wants that the images of holy figures including the prophet Muhammad and the Buddha will be shown in the course She asked the students to contact her with any concerns in class She warned them the painting would be displayed in case anyone wanted to leave then she showed the image and she lost the teaching So it's become a major culture war issue So it fits the advocates of academic liberty and free speech against Muslims who believe it's showing the image of prophet Muhammad is always sacrilegious It's only sacrilegious if you have that particular belief system If if you eat pork, right, that's not sacrilegious You simply don't hold the religious belief system that There's something sacrilegious about eating pork or if you don't observe the Sabbath Yeah, what should I care? It's like People who want to get into a taxi would say their service animal and if the taxi driver is Muslim, he'll often forbid it Because that goes against his value system But what about all the Christian male carriers who Used to deliver anyway pornography through the mail that goes against their belief system, but they don't impose it on everyone else So you have a very fired up Passionate religious minority here managed to get a professor fired and seek to impose their religious faith system on everyone else in ways that the Christian majority Would not do So senior in the class complained to the administration Other Muslim students supported the student saying the class was an attack on their religion So you have to circumcise and circumscribe how you teach so that you cock to various activist Religious minorities, so some religions have to be respected, but not Christianity Right, not the majority religion And so we have the essence of being work is that there are sacred groups such as most of those blacks gays Jews and They need to be held Apart from any group criticism that be treated as sacred objects. They can't be critiqued No negative feedback and their whims and wishes Everyone else needs to bow down to Okay, getting ready to board a jet plane. Bye. Bye
