 All right Let's do one more one more clip From from billions. So this is a clip. Well, Bobby oxford is speaking in front of his son's School, it's a private school. It's a boarding school and his son Built a I guess some kind of computer to mine Bitcoin in the basement of the school blew out the electric Fusers for the entire town around it and is basically about to be expelled from the school and With the idea that he broke the codes and he did all this stuff and Bobby Bobby comes there and he basically finds dirt on the headmaster and Keeps him in the school and part of the deal is not only does his son get to stay in the school But Bobby gets to address the student body at the school and give a little speech See his Bobby's one one and a half minutes speech to the school notice again The stuff you would cheer Together with stuff that is cringe worthy That combination here it goes Your headmaster was kind enough to seat me the mic for this morning's lesson And I'm here to give you a little bit about what the school has been holding back from you The goddamn truth About Darwin scarcity and the world you actually live it notice Darwin You know the Darwin evolution only the fittest survive survival of the fittest zero some scarcity Zero some and the world in which you live in he's gonna argue is zero some If it's a zero some world, where do you want to be? Exploited We'll be doing the exploiting But that's the setup the setup is immediately Buying into all the negative wrong views of life of the world that are out there It's not the warm Swaddled place your headmaster and your parents have told you about it's populated by people like me There he is the monster who will tear you apart Tear them apart physical violence Nature didn't select me. I selected myself now. That's beautiful right nature didn't select me. I select myself That's free will that's my ambition. That's my focus. That's my energy my responsibility Feeding off of the previous clip that I showed you right. That's great But he selected himself to do what? By harnessing my nature My son wasn't pulling a prank He was trying to earn And if you broke the school's code, it's because the code is wrong Asked him to go against the DNA which is telling each of you to be greedy. Yes. Be hungry Subjugate and conquer Subjugate and conquer subjugate and conquer That to him is the essence right it's exploit or be exploited if those are the options in life What would you rather be the exploiter? Somebody mentioned That this is like a one and yeah, this is very much like a wanted Here's an incredibly able person who has come to the conclusion that the only way he can win is by exploiting others The only way he can be successful is by exploiting others now. He doesn't go all out. He doesn't become a monster. He's not a monster in the show But he's unhappy because he lives It is in a world that he has created And his own mind that is a zoo of some world and I don't think you can enjoy a zoo of some world Because that's Who we are That's what we are capitalism Harnesses that better than any other economic model on earth now if you replaced Your place what he just said with self-interest, then yeah capitalism does harness self-interest. I'm not sure for what purpose What do you harness something for what but it harnesses it allows that freedom? Which is what creates the wealth? Then we have everything is because of capital is a capitalism Absolutely someone had an incentive to get up off his ass To out invent to out earn yes and to subjugate others Subjugate others so he just said everything you have is because the capitalism could be out of one of my speeches Had an incentive to get up and own and produce and create all good stuff and To subjugate others otherwise He's just buying into Marxist theory, and he's saying yeah, and I agree with Marx But as long as I'm doing the exploiting it's cool Escapable less intelligent less ambitious less lucky To make those capitalistic dreams come true You know what I'm talking about headmaster Kessel The dirty secret you may not want to hear but you fucking love the result as Will you soon enough? Go out there and exploit people so what Can I say I Love Bob it Bobby Axelrod sense of life. I love his spirit. I love his Ambition I love his cockiness his unwillingness to bend His pride is confidence His eloquence What he needs is a moral guide what he needs is some rational self-interest what he needs what he needs is Iron man Now somebody says the writers want you to hate him. They don't really not if you watch the show They don't want you to hate him. They want you to hate him and love him just like Most people today want you to hate and love capitalism They want you to hate him and love him They want you to love his bigger than life vivaciousness, which I think most people do that's why they watch it And then they want to hate the ideas behind it, but they're not they're not questioning. They're not undercutting what he says He says everything we have around us as a product of capitalism. I think They acknowledge that so this goes back to that dichotomy We talked about we've talked about in a number of shows now You can be good or you can be happy You can be good or you can be rich You can be good or you can have a high stand of living You can't be good and Be rich you can't be good and Have a high stand of living so capitalism produces a high stand of living, but it's bad Socialism is good But it sucks because we know it produces poverty so this dichotomy between happiness and goodness between success and goodness this dichotomy is everywhere in our culture and it is killing us It is killing us and again. This is so much. This is this is Kant right there. This is Emmanuel Kant This is why he is so bad Because God teaches us that you can either be happy or good good or successful Can't be both and you'll see my guess is that my prince's attempt To be good and successful will fail in there and what we'll see is he's not really good. It's just a facade That he cannot nobody can be good and successful The end of the day if you're gonna be good, you're gonna be poor if you're gonna be good, you're gonna fail and that's That's the message and indeed the same thing is true of the district attorney Who is vicious? He's not portrayed as a good guy in the in the story. He's a bad guy and unhappy so he is Trying to do good Right, he's trying to do good But he can't because he's undermined by his own Emotions by his own hatred by his own ideas So there is no good character fully in the movie, but if you compare the district attorney and Who's trying to get axelot and Bobby axelot clearly Bobby axelot is a more likeable character Even if you know he's not gonna be happy He's not a good guy He's likeable What we need today what I called a new intellectual would be any man or woman who is willing to think Meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason By the intellect not by feelings wishes wins or mystic revelations Any man or woman who values his life? And who does not want to give in to today's scout of the spare cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world To the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist Broads using the super chat and I noticed yesterday when I appealed For support for the show many of you step forward and actually Supported the show for the first time.
