 All right, Michael, second question. Our culture is so evil. You're in a good mood today, Michael. Our culture is so evil, they'll make fun of anyone for any reason so long as they take something, as long as they take something seriously. They're targeting people looking for meaning in life. Those are the people they want to destroy. That fact discourages many young excited objectivists. I agree completely. It's one of the reasons people ask me, Yaron, why do you hate the Simpsons? Because I really do hate the Simpsons. And why do you hate? What was that other cartoon that's really funny that somebody got? Was that not? No, family guy. I wouldn't even work. No, the one written by a couple of libertarian types. South Park. South Park. Thank you, South Park. I don't like South Park. Now, I like certain episodes. They're so funny. How can you not? But I don't like South Park. Because the whole point of South Park is to make fun of pretty much everything. Now, I know aficionados of South Park tell me that, yes, there is some values that they actually do stand by and represent. Maybe. But I would say that the dominant sense that we have gotten from South Park Simpsons probably showed that Jonathan mentioned. And much of the culture generally, much of our comedy, much of our other movies, the anti-hero movies, or that is a culture of cynicism and skepticism. A culture that you're absolutely right makes fun of anybody who takes ideas seriously, who wants to knock down idealism no matter what the ideals are, that wants to betray them, stab them in the back, make fun of them, destroy them in one way or another. And you see that over and over and over again in popular culture. And I find that really despicable. And now some ideas are worth knocking down. But if all you do is knock down, then you're sending a certain message, particularly young people who watch this stuff incessantly. This is all they watch, right? Because it's funny and it's entertaining. And some of it is true in a sense that you're knocking down stuff that's true, good to knock down. But if you're not presenting anything positive, then what stays with that young person? They're knocking down. And the evil of idealism, the evil of ability, the evil of success. When Josh Hawley says, break big tech up, break them up with our viciousness in the name of the people, it's just ugly nihilism spewing out, right? Now he has an agenda. He's doing this in the name of an ideal. That's a scary ideal. But young people are going, yes, we've always wanted to smash stuff, right? That's what we were taught to be cynical, skeptical of success, be cynical skepticism of ideals. Now, so that is the kind of nihilism that I think has infiltrated even better people. Even better people have that cynicism in them. And cynicism is a great evil. It's a great, great, great evil. And yeah, it's, it's, it is sad. And you see it all over the place. You see it all over the place. And that's, and that's the real enemy. It's much bigger than the socialist, because I think a lot of people on the left make fun of the socialists because the socialists actually believe in something. They've got an ideal. That's kind of funny. A universal idea. I mean, these people make, I mean, the far left, in the sense that they're pure cynicism, skepticism, pure nihilism, make socialists look like the good guys. So yes, we live, I've often said this, we live in the best of times, materially, from a opportunities perspective, from a self-actualization perspective, and the worst of times from a cultural perspective. The only way to live a good life is, is to be self-contained in a sense, seek out the better shows. This is why I think I mentioned there were a couple of TV shows recently that I was shocked by the lack of cynicism. Ted Lasso, was it Lasso? I think it was Ted Lasso, something like that, on Apple TV, which is about this American football coach who goes to England and coaches soccer, and it's a comedy, and you think that it's just going to make fun of this guy, and it's just going to make him look ridiculous, and it's just going to make fun of Americans, and it's going to put down American, it's going to, and it doesn't. It's funny, and some of his stuff is ridiculous, but it's not made fun, it's not undermining him. He's actually a kind of heroic character. He's kind of cool, and America's portrayed as a good place, not a bad place. And the same with another show about this marketing executive who goes to Paris, and it makes fun of the Parisian sense of skepticism and cynicism. It's like, who are these people in Hollywood who greenlit these projects, who wrote the script, where there's an idealism there? You know, it's not objective, it's not great, but it's, it's like, America's a cool place, individualism is good, and having your own ideas and having a different way of doing things is a good thing, and these Europeans are kind of stuck up cynical bastards. Wow. I mean, that, Emily in Paris, thank you, Emily in Paris and Ted Laszl. And it's like, who made these shows? It's like shocking. You know, so once in a while, you see, oh, I don't know if you saw Mr. Jones, the movie, anti-communist movie, right, made by Polish director, granted, not by an American one, but I've always struck and positive when I see art and movies and TV shows that are not cynical, because I think that is a good cultural sign, a really, really good cultural sign, but it's, it goes against the current grain, and, but it's little, little signs like that that suggest maybe, maybe, maybe we're having an impact, maybe there's some early signs that things can get better, that the culture might have changed. Remember, the culture will change in some ways decades before the politics changes, or the early signs of cultural change will happen way before the politics changes. So somebody asked if my favorite comedian is Borat. I hate Borat. The whole premise of Borat's humor is to make people look ridiculous, and you can make everybody, anybody look ridiculous. You think you would stand up to a well-crafted Borat? Easily make you look ridiculous in some capacity, but that's the whole point. It's not to elevate anything. It's not to improve anything, and it's not to make ridiculous just vice. It's to make everybody and anybody ridiculous. Now the peace in Giuliani, I have to admit, I enjoy it because I hate the guy so much that if you want to make anybody look ridiculous, you want to make Giuliani look ridiculous, I will cheer, but yeah, not, not my, I mean, they're trying to figure out who my, my favorites, my favorite comedian is. Good question. I like Chaplin. I didn't like, I didn't like Lauren and Hardy too stupid in a sense. I like the Marks Brothers. I didn't like what do you call the other guys? What do you call the, the guys who hit each other in the head? Three Stooges? Three Stooges. Never liked the Three Stooges. That's like more like Lauren and Hardy, but I like the Marks Brothers. And then I, I liked, I liked humor from about 20 years and previous. I like, I like British humor. I liked, I liked Faulty Towers is one of my favorite, favorite shows ever. Faulty Towers. I liked a lot of, a lot of those, a lot of that period British TV shows comedy, but I hate, I hate American humor from the last, I don't know, 30 years. Ever since the turning point in American humor for me was dumb and dumber. And since then it's only gotten dumb and dumber. So that is, that is how bad it is. 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 cult of despair, cynicism and impotence, and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist.
