 You ready to get rejuvenated? I've been looking recently for rejuvenation because I felt a sense of crisis and When I step back so Kenneth Brown seems to be going through a tough time I presume that He was invested in crypto and has taken it an absolute bath because of the crypto downturn. So you'll notice many of the Quirks of the e-personality coming out here. So when people go online, they tend to be much more morbid they they lack The the boundaries that people tend to have much more readily in real life where you're looking at people face to face So go online start sharing. It'll be a lot more morbid You'll share a lot more dark stuff than you would face to face So it sounds like Ken Brown aka deep left circle is going through a tough time now This guy's having more and more like millennial woes and he has a lot in common with the millennial woes like neither of them seem to have a mean bone in their body Right. I don't see millennial woes or Ken Brown being nasty I didn't see them getting into feuds. I don't see them abusing their power to take advantage of people. Well Maybe maybe the maybe millennial was a little pesty But overall neither of them strike me as nasty vicious You know feud loving blokes Back and I examine and I analyze the sense of crisis. It comes from It comes from certain illusions It's not grounded in reality So the idea that I'm going to lose all of my money or the idea that I'm going to hit a certain threshold Where essentially I'll be Paralysed in my body. I'll be paralyzed my body watching the world go on without me So he wouldn't be speaking this way if he was face-to-face Right, it probably wouldn't be speaking this way if he had people in his life that he could share with so I've certainly used the internet to Give vent to my darkest fears. So I empathize with what is going through and He's doing this video to calm himself down He's doing this video to recenter himself. He's doing this video to feel more comfortable in his body And that will be terrifying. These are you know ridiculous things But I think there's a list of these sort of fantasies these nightmares these waking nightmares these crises that are at the root of every of every Crisis, you know, the belief is like well, I'm gonna lose some money, but that's connected to the concept of losing all your money So I think in every small little upset. There's always a kind of apocalyptic chrysalis or a kernel or seed but I remember on J Swipe and on Tinder ghosts would often ask me Where are your investments? I'd say my investments are in my family my investments are in my community My investments from my friends when people ask me how are you hedging against inflation? I used to say oh, I invest in community Seriously, that's the best way to survive tough times Community friends. It's even better than US treasuries. The US treasuries help to but I also think out of every crisis Every crisis is concerning a sense of loss like losing all your money the opposite would be having lots of money because money represents powers that we want power or Instead of losing all your money if you if you were to watch the world roll by the opposite would be to be involved in the world To be really active and really change the world. It's another form of power Right, so if you're afraid you're going broke if you're afraid that life is passing you by if you're afraid that You're on the outside looking in then the answer is to take some some form of action Right to step up I mean he really needs to go to the center for healthy sex and listen to some of these mirror of intimacy webinars with Alex All of its possibilities so intention First of all, you have to have your attention on what it is you're seeking So a very different vibe here between the Ken Brown video and the Alex Kata hakas video So Alex Kata hakas videos is just jam-packed with useful insights with with tips with with inspiration with common sense with wisdom with with the learning that she has had and Set your intention for that and then you have to take action and those three things will move you towards what it is You say you want so I would remind you that if you have any questions or comments to please Type them into the chat box, and I'll do my best to answer them for you so What precedes sexuality of course and love is courtship and courtship also requires action and Courtship is a funny word because it sounds dated or old or even ancient in some ways and courtship changes, you know from Era to era what used to be courtship? Let's say in Elizabethan times where so watching a lot of millennial woes videos and watching a lot of Cam Brown videos They're like watching a car car rack and then watching Alex Kata hakas videos is watching something inspiring and useful and good for you Two people were matched together and often there was a chaperone and the simplest of conversations It was considered in modest to be in a room alone with someone Of the opposite sex and if you were same sex attracted you certainly had to do that in secret Courtship today can look like You know pinging someone when are you gonna catch a live look and ask her some questions? I don't really have any questions for her. I mean, I think she's amazing But it's not like I'm walking around with all these questions, you know, how should I how should I really? Conduct things. I don't have any burning questions So I talked to a lot of people who are confused and they're burning questions and they're just so passive Oh, I don't know how to do step nine or just don't know how to work on my goals pages Or I didn't know how to do step four or I'm confused about column three in the step four inventory I don't know what steps I need to take to take get a better night's sleep or you know I've got this this pain in my butt and I didn't know what exercises to do I'm a man who takes action when I got those problems. I take action. I reach out to people. I Google I research I watch videos by Alex Kata hakas One on a dating site and then texting with them and then maybe having a zoom call and eventually oh No, mommy question. Well, I didn't really have questions about mother hunger Mommy hunger because I know the things that I need to do to address my mother hunger and I'm doing those things so I Don't have any burning questions of which I'm aware and how to address my mother hunger really a coffee date To see if you're compatible enough to actually go on a what we would consider more of a quote real date or traditional date but this all requires action regardless of what your standard of courtship is and Oftentimes one person is complaining. So I know a lot of people that their idea of taking action in this department is to get on Tinder or to get on the J swipe and Those are easy things to do and probably better than nothing but insufficient The other person isn't initiating the courtship fast enough like he or she or they don't call Or something along those lines and then once people get into relationship There can be complaints about who's initiating sex and why one person initiates and the other doesn't But I want to really impress upon everyone in all of us that sex is not only initiated Generally that this is an old old construct of sex and sexuality that sex can be Transmitted through a gaze a simple look across the room the tone of voice Because it's the intention that moves things into action not the final. This is a great point that goes stamp eating after the clitoris Why do you always want to go stamp eating after the clitoris? What's wrong with a good kiss on the lips? What's wrong with a gaze across the room? What's wrong with talking to her about her favorite podcast? What's wrong with going to synagogue together? What's wrong with going for a nice walk on the street? Why are they stamp eating to the clitoris guys no action itself? There are all these small measures and steps that have to be taken in order to get us into our preferred state or preferred goal So think about any large endeavor sex is a smaller endeavor, but a larger endeavor like a career path They're going to college or deciding to get a higher education. You don't just decide you're going to go and get a bachelor So this is a woman who got a PhD and then she founded this great place center for healthy sex. She's helped hundreds of people She's published three books. She's a highly accomplished highly intelligent woman who's made many major contributions to a field Her approach is a sex addiction as affect dysregulation And she worked damn hard and She's achieved great things for his degree and then boom you have one you have to go through so many small steps From the application process just that has a hundred steps in it by itself And then the acceptance process and then the matriculation process It just goes on and on and on before you get to the final and the chat says sex is for baby making it What Robert George that Christian philosopher at Princeton apparently his main argument against gay marriage was that every sexual Act should have the possibility of procreation That's not the Jewish perspective Right, it doesn't have to be a possibility of procreation for sex to be holy Just simply needs to be between a man and a woman who are wedded to each other No graduation So keep in mind that these small things that we do on a day in and day out basis Are the ways that we are engaging in courtship with our partners the glance the look the smile the funny things We say the pet names we have for each other So it's not just about a genital grab and then you're having sex all of a sudden And in addition to sex engaging your partner at any kind of planned activity is important It doesn't matter whether it's a date like you're actually maybe going to the theater again Or you're going for a hike in the woods or a walk on the beach But those actions demonstrate your intention your intention. Okay, so just notice the difference between This useful learned common-sensical inspiring Yeah, just awesome awesome Wematah here with Alex Kata Harkas and this so when we look at the world It's easy to feel uncertain. It's easy to feel like anything can happen at any time and there's no Hey instead of saying when we look at the world, what do you talk about when I look at the world? All right, we all look at the world very differently because we're different people So why don't you start by coming to terms with your own fallibility, which is what you often do, which is why you're a pretty decent bloke? All right, you're your vulnerability It shines through bro shines through you're one of George HW Bush's thousand points of light rhyme a reason and there's no Control and this leads to a sense of apathy depression and coping people try to derive a sense of power Very superficial ways like video games virtual reality fantasy Why don't talk about what you do to derive a sense of power? Right driving a sense of power is very important to me So I get up early in the morning. I get up 4 30 5 a.m. 5 30 a.m. Very rarely do I wait until 6 a.m. To get up I get up early I get a start to my day early I get in a cold shower I get a sense of power from having accomplished the most difficult part of my day first thing Right. I drink my protein drink take take by my beef organs And then I get started on some painful and demanding exercises Which are good for me which are helping to reduce my piriformis syndrome I get outside go for a walk may go to shore may go to a 12-step meeting I have Responsibilities people that I meet with in the mornings All right I've got all these meritorious actions that I take and through connecting with other people connecting with meetings connecting With a synagogue connecting with a minion connecting with a Torah class. I get energy and a sense of power I get inspiration right tending a meeting I get power tending a class I get power get inspiration from a YouTube video or from a rabbi or from a 12-step speaker or From a really good audio book. I get inspiration and power right knowing that I've got great 12-step materials that I can turn to or Books that I can turn to for inspiration and guidance another source of power Maintaining and developing friendships another source of power having the opportunity to share my thoughts with the world another sense of power Right having these things that I need to do to make money another sense of power having money in the bank Another sense of power investing my money in US treasuries Right that the pay better than inflation rate another sense of power So there are all these things that I do to develop my sense of power and Seeing seeing people on the street keep it saying with with people in the community going to the dog park Working out going to a gym connecting with people all these provide a sense of power books online discourse on telegram Twitter at jokk. You know, you know, so we can retreat into things that may have some utility But also I see the ways in which people retreat into ideologies where they have some kind of group where they can feel important They can be a big fish. So I feel like Ken Brown's talking to himself here I think it'd be more powerful if you went with the first person And a small pond and feel important when you know, they're kind of hiding from the rest of the world so there is a There's a certainty about death that you know, when you So he's going he's going more of it. He's going dark like he's struggling He sounds like he's lost a lot of money on cyber currencies He's going through a difficult time And so he's going to a dark places that he wouldn't likely go to if he was interacting with more people face-to-face Yeah, you're going to lose all of your authority and your agency and your body will turn to dust and Your mind in a certain sense what must degrade because you know, it's it's not very often I speak with somebody and they say yeah, you know, I just died like babies don't come out of the womb like oh man I just got hit by a car and I'm I'm a baby. This is okay So there are certain very common perils to the e-personality people tend to be Less considered less less measured. They make quicker decisions They tend to be much more impulsive online People tend to have a much More inflated sense of their own importance and wisdom when they're online They are less likely to take into account the effect of their words and actions on other people When they're online performing for a camera and they're much more likely to go to a morbid and dark place Then if they're having a face-to-face interaction, so weird, you know, that doesn't happen Or if it doesn't happen so rarely that you have to be kind of suspicious about it Wonder where I am Think I might go back here pretty soon so so, you know if I'm Kind of think about this So if there's there's like this loss of the mind when you die a lot of people will say that when you die Your mind is maintained and you go into heaven or hell or Abraham's was on a purgatory. Your mind is maintained So I grew up a Seventh-day Adventist and Seventh-day Adventists are obsessed with what happens after you die And so I was really happy to convert to all the next Judaism which pays almost no attention to what happens after you die So precisely because Jews and Judaism don't focus on the next life They take this life more seriously. They take this life more passionately It's not unknown for example at a Protestant funeral the only people crying are Jews Because Jews take life and death very seriously They take what happens in this world very seriously and they didn't spend much time or energy Thinking about what happens after death So religious Jews have the expectation that God rewards and punishes, but I love the Jewish Priority on this life rather than on the next life But in some senses your mind must change. It's confronting a different reality. You're no longer on the earth You know for a materialist, this is a pretty straightforward concept for religious people It's hard for them to understand that like your mind Cannot be maintained in its current form and your body cannot be maintained in its current form now People even reincarnation then then people have similar minds and similar bodies, but they're variations and There's lots of interest. So yeah, maybe if he can abstract it enough He can get a sense of comfort from and a distraction from his own suffering And that you are interested that you want that you want your partner to want you also There's a mutuality in this kind of courtship That is that requires work and discipline in order to move towards what it is you want So it's through our intention and the rich actions that we take every single day the gratitude that we have for our partners But others know that we love them and this would be true for your children also or you are perhaps aging parents That these are not one-and-done Propositions that these are day in and day out actions and Relationships require a lot of intentionality a lot of intention We've talked about I meant to say attention. We've talked a lot about the metaphor of a garden You can't just plant a garden and walk away from it You have to tend to it you have to weed it and water it and check on it and fertilize it and Make sure the dead leaves are taken off. You've got to spend a lot of time Cultivating and shaping that garden just the way we have to cultivate and shape our loves We have to let people know that we're attracted to them that they matter to us that we care about them by showing up And there is the adage that we should all live by that actions speak louder than words And that's a really important statement The way that we forgive someone if they've heard us is by watching their actions when people change That's when we can forgive them. So these actions are essential in order for us to be able to Have trust and safety and a sense of belonging and caring for the people around us Okay, just a fantastic webinar here by Alex Cada-Hakas on actions and Another man of action is Tucker Carlson So we remember very well being called a traitor to the country like people like Chuck Schumer who obviously don't care about the country For predicting that maybe the sanctions on Russia would be counterproductive now Bloomberg is reporting that quote Some Biden officials are privately expressing concern that rather than dissuade the Kremlin as intended American sanctions have been said exacerbated inflation worsened food insecurity and punished ordinary Russians more than Putin or his allies Bloomberg noted that quote the collateral damage from the sanctions has been wider than expected You think it wasn't hard to predict we predicted it months ago was obvious Even then it was lunatic was pushed by Ron Klain Biden's chief of staff who runs the country We said that out loud. We were denounced as traitors for it. So here was the original argument In order to fight tyranny the United States must embrace collective punishment hurt the children to bring justice These are our values because Vladimir Putin is a moral monster Now these are not traditional Western concepts of justice But Joe Biden wholeheartedly endorses them and so does a dominant bipartisan coalition in the United States Congress The question is is this a wise course now? We can't say far be it for us to suggest thinking through world-changing policies in any way before enacting them Pausing to reflect we have learned is disloyal adult moral calculations are treason thinking about your own country Is a crime the immediate goal again the bipartisan goal is to turn Russia into a pariah state Now again, the question isn't whether Vladimir Putin deserves that It's more than a moral question The question is how will that work out for us and for the world American citizens have a right to ask that question Oh, but you don't have a right You should be arrested you're committing treason say people who actually don't like America at all. So the question is they got it wrong again Will they ever admit it? Will they ever pay the price for getting something huge wrong? Victor Davis Hansen is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution. We're honored to have him join us again tonight Professor, thanks so much for coming on. So this all seemed kind of predictable It's not a defense of Putin to say this was stupid. It was stupid now. They're admitting it stupid Will anyone ever be punished for this? Yeah, it's an age-old rule Tucker of sanctions against autocratic governments that are have impoverished populations I mean, there's a paradox because the populations don't have a say so they they can't really, you know They can't change policy unless they have a coup and they're accustomed to a much lower standard of living So if it's a big country like Russia that affects gas or something We feel seven dollars a gallon gas or in California here or lack of abort baby formula a lot more than the Russians feel A lot worse punishment. These are people lost 20 million in World War two So there's a paradox and that the solution was always in these Russian speaking areas that are contested To deter him not to go further than to have a plebiscite and see if they want to be with Putin or Ukrainian How you get there is to resist his aggression But the only way the Ukrainians are going to win very quickly is to do things that are unthinkable to a nuclear power And that would be give them a shore to ship weapons to sink the black fleet as people have talked about or take out more Russian generals Or conduct raids in Russia that that's really harebrained and that's the type of preemptive Offensive defense that would maybe give them a chance But in itself would be crazy and yet the more this goes on this verdun like attrition There's gonna be people thinking of that and so it's better to just get people together and say this is a tragedy And let's look at these people that speak a majority Russia in these things And maybe we can have a plebiscite and sanctions can be ended if people will agree and it might not work It probably won't work, but I don't want to see us fight To the last Ukrainian to get every single Russian out of Ukraine were the majority on the border speaking Russian And that's not to excuse Vladimir Putin But we've got some really crazy people saying crazy things about a very ill dictator who's got his finger on six thousand nuclear weapons aimed at the
