 How could I make 40 here? I was just listening to Professor Otto Paul talk with Professor Casey and I haven't heard the whole thing but it sounds like they've been going on for about two hours and guess what? The problem's entirely with the world out there. It's not that they've done anything wrong. It's not that they're any blind spots in their own perceptions. They're sounding like the white version of Black Lives Matter. They get out of the mental asylum and they've still got the tag on their wrist and they march into traffic in downtown Los Angeles and they try to start directing traffic. When you listen to people from Black Lives Matter or Antifa Speak, there's nothing wrong with them. All the problems are outside of them. All their problems are in America. It's systemic racism. It's this mysterious ailment that the equivalent of witchcraft that is just befuddling America and holding them down. They're good people. They're not doing anything wrong but all their problems are outside of themselves. There's not an ounce of me that thinks, oh, I'm a better person than Otto or Casey. They have far more professional and personal accomplishments than I do. Both Otto and Casey, these guys are professors. They've got PhDs. They're married. I think they both have kids. They've accomplished all sorts of things in life that I haven't even come close to. I didn't graduate from college. I'm a bachelor. There's nothing in me that thinks, oh, I'm just superior to these guys. But these are my reactions to their show. Well, therefore, he must have a decent intelligence level. Yeah, Otto, that's the military IQ test. Why don't they just do the IQ test? They can't. It's a court decision. They're not allowed to have any type of test that is a proximity for IQ because it had a disparate result, the impact upon a certain racial groups. Should we? What's going on with the baby? It's hard to concentrate. I feel like I'm hearing a baby who wants to talk. She does want to talk, sorry. Sorry, I'm a little bit distracted. Oh, go ahead. Were you thinking, did you want to? Oh, no. I mean, we were talking about the how you needed to have more clickbait-y titles. There are seven to 10 minutes long, pretty much. You're right. And like what you said about it being the person rather than the content that YouTube seems to myself. And know what else works. And this is kind of related to that, the person more than the content thing is having like collaborations. Like, aren't those your most viewed thing is like your thing with Ken and then your robot caravall? Yeah. So between me and Casey, we got two thirds of the university. We just need a math and science person and we're ready to go. Yeah, I mean, I don't know, like, I just feel like, so what I was going to say is that, okay, to me, it looks like higher education can be like really rough for the next, let's say 10 years, and they're not going to hire me. So I just am looking to leave it. But then it's like, it's hard to like, I feel like I can, I'm a good talker. I'm a good writer. Basically, I can, like, that's all there is to it. What else is there? What kind of job? I mean, I could learn most of your jobs in three weeks, like just show me the computer system and I'll do it. But like, I'm just wondering if there are jobs that I might do that I wouldn't hate, you know, that like wouldn't feel like heinously unethical, you know, like I don't, there's, I don't want to sell the vaccine or something. My original training. So a little bit lady later in this show, Casey, you repeat something that he's also said on Twitter, essentially every white collar worker, according to Casey, is perpetuating a lie and a fraud. Right. So let's say I had a white collar job and I was thinking of hiring Casey. And, and then I listened to him say that every white collar worker is a fraud, that everyone who isn't a manual labor right now is a liar. Why would I want to hire someone like that? I mean, it's such a toxic attitude. I didn't know. It just feels like my friend Casey's just gone off the deep end the last few years and it doesn't feel like he's getting any closer to shore. And then Otto is looking for a job. Why would you tweet like 30 some tweets about how much you hate Jews and the Jewish state? Like, it's fine with me. It doesn't bother me. I've had Otto and Casey on my show more than 40 times. I enjoy their critiques of everything. Sometimes I think they're spot on about Jews in the Jewish state. Sometimes I think they're wrong. I welcome all critiques from the alt-right, from countercurrents, from nationalists, et cetera. I think criticism makes me better. It makes Casey better. It makes Otto better. Accurate criticism makes all of us better. It makes Jews better. It makes Christians better. It makes blacks better. It makes Latinos better. It makes Muslims better. Everybody's improved by accurate criticism. But if you're looking for a job, I wouldn't hire someone who made like 30 tweets about how much they hated Muslims or how much they hated blacks or how much they hated Mexicans or how much they hated Poland. It was in making coffee drinks. You could be like a copywriter or something, unless you think that's horrible and ethical. Yes. I mean, it's not so unethical, but it's like, it does feel like it kind of breaks my spirit. You know, it's like a copywriter, like I'm going to just write for bubblegum ads or something. I don't know. I feel like I've built a personality around. Okay. This just isn't a vibe of somebody who wants to be of service. It's like, unless the job is exactly what I want, unless the job, unless the world conforms to what I want and what I expect, then screw it. I'm just not into it, man. Like, if I have, like, you know, avoiding that kind of, you could be mad, man. What are you saying? Like, yes, I don't know. I thought that that show, so we have to say that. Like, when you go to a job, you have to be willing to be of service to your employer and be willing to get along with customers and clients and your co-workers. There's a certain kind of attitude that you need to get hired and remain hired. And this attitude of, unless something's immediately appealing to me, this is why they call it work. It's not called fun. Sometimes work can be fun. Generally speaking, it isn't. The way you hold down a job is by providing service to your employer. And so an employer is looking for someone who has the attitude that they want to be of service. They want to turn in an honest day's work for an honest day's wage, not, you know, how fulfilling is this going to be for me spiritually? Smoking lucky strikes is good for your cardiovascular condition. The chat says, like, Vivian, the dialogue is basically the path to success on these, like, on YouTube. And, like, I like dialogue. I like talking to people. I think it's fun and I like to do it. And I could probably do that. But it's like, I don't know. I feel like most people want to, like, have a platform more and, like, kind of argue, like, up. Yeah, every suggestion, Casey's got an answer for why he's not into it. Right. He only wants to do things his way. And he's saying, you know, I want suggestions. What am I doing wrong? How come I'm not making $10,000 a week on YouTube? Give me suggestions, guys. But for every suggestion that he's given, he's got reasons why he's just not into it. Like a, like, you know, a thesis. And I don't really, I'm kind of like, I don't really want to argue a thesis, like with you. Right. He doesn't want to do anything but what he wants to do. And I just don't think that this attitude is really going to work out too well. This just strikes me as, as insane. It's the, it's the white equivalent of Black Lives Matter. And Tifa thinking that everything is the fault of the outside world. Why doesn't the outside world just conform to what I want? Everybody else is crazy but me. Against you. That seems like a job. Like, I just want to talk. You want to redo your vibe every week. My what? What do they call it? Yeah. You get what Casey said? That sounds like a job. He doesn't want a job. He bemoans that he doesn't have a job, but he doesn't want a job. He doesn't want to be of service to anybody else because anybody is not a manual laborer in the United States, according to Casey, is a liar and a fraud. And he wants no part of having a job. Thesis depends on the U.S. and Great Britain is called a Viva. Oh, like, yeah, basically that. I just want to, well, it doesn't even have to be like my thesis. It can just be like my, like, let's just talk about stuff. And like, it doesn't have to be like ideological all the time, I guess. That's what I mean. So the thing is, okay, I think if you're really talking about like being successful on YouTube or something, you can do that stuff, but you have to have like other types of content too, you know? Well, I have that. What? I have that. Don't I? Yeah, you do. You're doing that. Oh. But I think, yeah, the people, like, I do see people doing that, but it's not like their main thing. Now I just need to like pick fights with random internet people. But it's like, oh geez, I don't want to do that, you know? So it's, I guess, we're at our max here maybe. Yeah. Eddie Suggestion, he's got reasons for why he doesn't want to do it because it's like a job. And anyone who succeeds on YouTube is because they're a fraud and a sellout. They're just taking the easy way out. They're just picking fights. They're just being moronic. He wants to operate on a higher, more spiritual plane. He doesn't want to have to conform to the way the world works. He demands that the world conform to what he wants and to how he works. So there are two possible attitudes in life. One is Luke starts with the attitude, the world needs to conform to me and to what I want and to my predilections. And if I don't get my way, I'm going to be angry and unhappy and depressed. The other attitude that I can have is, okay, I need to conform to reality. I need to get in touch with how reality is working. And if I want a job, that means I have to have the attitude of I am here and willing to be of service to other people. Yeah, I don't think that you really want this. So like, I know you and I don't think that you really, really... Right, I was thinking about that the other day. I know what you mean because like, there's something that turns out... Like, look at what happened to Jordan Peterson. Like, as soon as you kind of become a personality, people expect you. Like, I just did this video, some of you saw, Otto saw that he called it the psychedelic video. Yeah, anyone who succeeds, they're a fraud. There's something wrong with them. They've sold out. Right, there's something wrong with anyone who's had success because that just means that they've essentially sold out to the Jews. I swear to God, for me, like, for me, okay, that... Like, I've made 53 videos before that that felt to me like they were right down the middle. Like, so like walking the line. And on this one, I feel like I took a like two degree turn just to fuck around a little, just for a little bit. And like the response is like, whoa, dude, are you crazy? That's a crazy thing. I'm like, you have not seen crazy. Like, I want to do all kinds of... Okay, so this doesn't sound sane. This sounds insane. That this, this just, this is just my reaction. This is not Luke's better than KC. This is not Luke has the educational credentials of KC. This is not Luke's got the personal profile of KC, like, I can't touch him as far as credentials, status, success in life, marriage, kids, high status job, university professor, PhD. All right, I can't touch him on any of this. So there's not, there's not a scintilla of me thinking that I'm better than him. I'm just giving you my reaction because I think it's important. And any, anyone who's has success, it just feels like from KC's attitude is because they've sold out their fraud, there's something wrong with them. And he doesn't want to sell out. He's got too much integrity, right? This is, this is a widespread attitude among people just out of an insane asylum. Like, I've got too much integrity. I've seen through the BS, man. I know how the world really works. I'm just not going to go along with the BS anymore. I'm just not willing to play the game. That's why they had to put me in the insane asylum because I just not willing to play the game. This is like one flu over the cuckoo's nest. That's the vibe here. And like, maybe he's right. Maybe the entire world needs to conform to KC's wishes. And maybe that'll happen. I'm skeptical that will happen, but maybe he has such force of will and power and untapped resources that the whole world is going to start conforming to what KC wants. I used to be a Christian. If I was pulling this stuff in public, the members of my church would pull me aside and slap me upside the face and say, hey, you need an attitude adjustment, man, that there's something seriously wrong with you. Like Otto and KC are both Christians. I assume they belong to a church. I assume that they have a pastor. I assume they have spiritual advisors. I assume they have a church community. Then they have a church community that follows them on Twitter at all or listens to any of their videos and is willing to help out, help out with a job search, help out with preparing a resume. Help out with just talking these things through. Where's their church? Where's their pastor? Do you want to go to Dionysus? Yeah, like Uncle Dionysus. But like, you know, you can't do that stuff because... Not on YouTube, no. They want you to be the consistent thing. Like, yeah, like J. Dyer is... Yeah, they want you to be the consistent thing. So the problems with the world, man, the world just wants way too much. They want consistency. And I'm just not willing to play the game, man. Like, this is how people speak when they get out of an insane asylum. Like, I'm just not willing to play the game anymore. I see through the BS. All right, I'm not willing to crawl anymore. I'm not willing to tell lies anymore. Yeah, they put me in the insane asylum because I was telling the truth. Man, I'm just not willing to put out with the BS anymore, man. He's a great example of this. You just turn on a J. Dyer stream. It's the same guy, night after night. I know what he's going to say. It's like comforting almost. And like, I don't want to become that because then it becomes like a chore. Like, you know what? Yeah, he wants a job, but he doesn't want a chore. He wants a job without any chores. Right? I don't want to become anything that's inauthentic to who I really feel I am. The special snowflake inside of me. This is the white equivalent of Black Lives Matter and in Tifa speaking. Okay, sorry to go on and on. But when I used to teach, I developed this idea. Otto, did you have what you felt like was like a stage persona when you were teaching? Like you kind of... Yeah. I mean, like because you need that. Amazing white guy. Yeah, like, it's not the same as you are like at home or relaxed. Like because otherwise, you know, you don't want to be there like... You have to like entertain them for like, at least 45 minutes of like 55 minutes of the class and then it's over. Yeah, it's a little bit of a song and dance. But like, and for me, that was always very consistent. You know, it is the comforting expected thing. You know? Wait, can I... Yeah. There's some good comments. Paul talk said that your problem is you're doing what you want to do, not videos to get popular. That's a hundred percent true. That's what it is. And like, well, I don't want to start doing anything else, you know? There was another comment. Yeah. He doesn't want to do anything but what he wants to do. And how does that attitude work out for people? Because this isn't about Casey. This isn't about Luke. This isn't about Otto. This isn't about Elliot. All right. This is this is about the broader topic. How does that attitude work out in life? I want health insurance. I want benefits. I want a job. I want enough income to raise a family. But I don't want to do anything that I don't want to do. All right. How many people have success with that attitude? So from just my life experience, there are at least 10,000 people who fail in life with that attitude for every person who succeeds with that attitude. Someone said pick fights with establishment scholars. I actually think that's a pretty good idea. No, that is a good way to make sure that. Right. So people, people want shortcuts. People want to take the easy way out. It's like, oh, I'll just start feuding. All right. What Casey is looking for is like, give me the easy way out. Like I don't want to do anything I don't want to do. I don't want to do anything that's a chore. I don't want to do anything that doesn't feel authentic to me. I don't want to do anything that's not of interest to me. But just tell me what to do that just gives me a shortcut to success. Well, success leads clues. Right. You can study what successful YouTubers have done. You can study how independent scholars have learned to make a living. But it's more than just some brief comments in a chat. All right. You have to actually put some effort into it. I signed up Friday. Friday, I think I made about $70 from $80 from Superchats. And I spent $100 on an online course on how to be a radio presenter. Right. I was having audio issues for years. I spent dozens of hours trying to figure them out on my own. Finally, I gave up on my own. I spent $500 for a professional audio consultation. And then the guy I consulted with, Mike Russell, he told me to buy about $500 worth of hardware. I installed it. I fine-tuned it. And my audio problems got solved. About a month ago, I bought one of the great courses on presentation. And I bought 10 voice lessons. I think I spent $250 per voice lesson. So that I could have a more pleasing voice so I could project myself better. So yeah, you have to put some work into it. And it's not always fun. But you end up nowhere, really. They are now to the point where they are so organized on the basis of their personal networks. If you attack one person that's big in it, they'll close ranks to make sure that you never get hired anywhere. Yeah. I feel like established scholars wouldn't come anywhere near me. Because it's like- What if it's like Jordan Peterson or something? Like that's what I was thinking. Like 10 reasons Jordan... Okay, as far as established scholars are near you, if you do work that's of sufficient importance, it will reach everyone, anyone who's applicable. I've found, I've been blogging for 22 years. Pretty much everybody I ever blog about, it gets back to them. All right. So it could be a Hollywood studio CEO. It could be a politician. Every substantial piece of work that I do that has an impact on the world, it gets back to the people I write about. So if your work is of sufficient quality, people will be forced to respond. I would break stories on my blog routinely, and then the Jewish Journal would be compelled. They had to follow up. The Los Angeles Times had to follow up on my blog posts. Adult video news had to follow up on my blog posts. Hustler magazine had to follow up on my blog posts. If my work is of sufficient importance, the Associated Press and KNBC and ABC News and the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, they will have to follow up on that work. What matters is doing substantial work that makes a difference in the world. Roles for, you know, I don't like Jordan Peterson or something. Yeah, maybe I'll try. I'll do an anti-Jordan Peterson video piece. Yeah. I mean, but then you're right too that like there's... You know what else? The other reason I don't want this, like you said, is because as I've learned already once in life, it only takes one single asshole in the chat to like become your stalker or you know, try to wreck your life or something. Yeah. This is incredibly risky, right? This is incredibly fun and it's incredibly risky. It is, right? You may think, oh, I just want to do things that are really fun, but no risk. Well, you can't livestream then. There's a downside to risk. And so you can piss people off and they can decide to make your life absolutely miserable. Now, that's only part of the equation. How vulnerable are you? Like are you going around strangling hookers and then you're getting mad that if you do live streams and someone will find out and report you? Okay. So you play a substantial role in how vulnerable you are. Like how stellar is your character? So what is the quality of the things that you are putting out into the world? Right? You play a big role in how you affect other people, what responses you provoke from them. But this is crazy dangerous, right? This is not for people of faint of heart. And so you may think, hey, I love playing football. And I just don't want to think about the downsides. Well, the downside of playing tackle football is it's crazy dangerous. This is crazy dangerous like playing tackle football. Playing tackle football is crazy fun and it's crazy dangerous. Live streaming is crazy fun. It's also crazy dangerous. Now, you may not like that aspect of reality and you may think, oh, I can just reject that aspect of reality and I'm going to imagine that the world is different. But I think the world's going to conform to our wishes. I think we either conform to reality or we go nuts. Like, I can't, you know, I don't want to deal with that. Like, I don't want to deal with... Okay. If you don't want to deal with that, then you can't live stream. You just walk away from any public pronouncements, anything that you're putting out into the public. If you don't want to deal with the backlash, with the consequences of the things that you say and do publicly, then stay out of the public square. Like, either you man up and you take the responsibilities and the consequences of your public words and deeds, or you need to take your ball and go home. I'm not saying this in a mean way. This is just my reaction to these comments by my longtime friend, Casey. I don't know where, why he went off the deep end the last few years. The crazy. You're not even saying anything like crazy in here. We're just, you know, we're just talking. Someone thinks it's crazy, right? Like some, some antifa things. Yeah, but those people aren't watching right now. I think, I think that they're by and large. Oh, I'm sure the FBI is watching. I mean, they found out about Jordan Peterson and they called him a Nazi, you know, like that's... Yeah, but he still made a whole boatload of money and like went off. Okay. So the things you say and do publicly, they get reactions. So maybe take some care, put a little bit of extra effort into how you phrase things. All right. It's easy to just blurt out what you're thinking and feeling. All right. So there are going to be times when every normal person has tremendous hatred and enmity towards other groups. Now, if you just blurt that out, there are going to be some pretty serious consequences, particularly if you're in a prestigious position. On the other hand, if you take the time and you take some care with how you phrase things, you can pretty much say everything that you want to say, but that takes some discipline and some self-control and you have to put some effort in. You don't just shoot from the hip. The more inflammatory the thing is that you want to say, the more effort you have to put in to phrase it in ways that people from diverse backgrounds can hear it, right? But most people don't want to put any effort in. They just want life to be effortless. They just want to get all the good things in life without paying any of the prices, but everything comes with a price. And if you're not willing to put the effort in to phrase things in a way that people can hear, people from diverse backgrounds can hear, and it's at a very low likelihood of making them want to hurt you. If you're not willing to put that effort in, then you're going to be dealing with some pretty nasty consequences. That's just the way the world worked. The world worked like that in 1980. Worked like that in 1920, in 1820, in 1127. There are consequences for our words and deeds performed in the public square, and people who can't be bothered to phrase things in ways that other people can hear and understand are going to have to deal with some very negative consequences. And like big, big pharma got to him or something, you know? Yeah, he was horrible after that drug addiction. He was always like... And there's something off about that guy. There's something always off about him. I don't need to make a lot of money. I just need to make enough money to support my family. So like, if somebody give me the stats to what I need to do, I'll do it. So I could produce whatever material you want. The problem is that the universities, even for like one-year positions, you'll get like 600 people with PhDs and published books applied for that one-year position. It's only paying $45,000 and no benefit. That is crazy. Okay, so it sounds like you should be looking to other forms of work. That's just what I'm hearing. If you can't do the thing that you love, maybe you need to find something else to do. Doesn't surprise me that all sounds right. The weird thing is... Sorry to cut you off there. The weird thing to me about all this is... In truth, I mean, from my perspective, it's odd that a college professor would have apparently no skills. I don't really have any skills in demand in the non-academic world. But then I'm like, wait, who does? And it's like these people who got... What are they even called? Marketing degrees or something? It's bull crap. What can I learn in three weeks from stuff like that? And I feel like I could learn it and be pretty good at it. But then it's like, if I end up writing copy for some shampoo company, I don't know how people manage outside of monasteries anymore. The capitalists are really rough. Yeah. I think scholars are like a pre-capitalist holdover from maybe even from the monastery. Yeah. Casey doesn't want to lower himself to do the jobs that everyone else has to do. These jobs are just below him. And Casey apparently believes that in three weeks he can gain the same level of learning that someone who's done a marketing degree, which in Casey's infinite wisdom is just pure BS. There's just absolutely no substance. There's nothing important or relevant there. It's just pure BS. Gee, I wonder why this attitude doesn't really lead to happiness and success in life. All sorts of academic fields that I know nothing about, I'm so confident that I can capture in three weeks the essence of a four-year degree, which in my infinite wisdom I know is just BS, that I know it's just fraudulent, that I just know that everyone who's not a manual laborer, they're just a fraud and a liar and a sellout. I got too much integrity to lower myself like that. I see through the BS, man. I see through the BS. I'm not going to play your game. I mean, this is the attitude out of one flu over the cuckoo's nest. This is how people sound when they get out of an insane asylum. The monks in the Middle Ages are trying to preserve or re-institute or propagate the knowledge. Absolutely. We're definitely not in this type of hypercapitalism where everything is you. Not only does it have to be sold for profit, it's like you, the guy who makes the material, you have to sell yourself and the product before you can get anybody to pay attention to it. Well, maybe you guys just need to become actual monks. Seriously. I'm married. I have a family. That would be my option right now. Re-reading the great George Elliott novel, Middlemarch. And there's an idealistic doctor who comes to Middlemarch, Tertius Litgate. And he has plans to staff up and run this new hospital. He wants to do all sorts of scientific research. And the way he doesn't have independent means, the way he's going to be able to do all this is because his wants and needs are very low. But then he accidentally falls in love with a beautiful woman who happens to be a complete narcissist. And he gets into serious financial trouble. So, yeah, if you want to be a monk, then there are certain advantages with being a monk. I assume it's not an expensive lifestyle. But if you want to support a family, you don't get to be a monk. Tertius Litgate, if he just wanted to stick to doing his scientific research and volunteering his time at the local hospital and writing papers, then he could do that. He can't get married to a woman who's got a pretty expensive taste. So, as life goes on, everyone in the book doesn't fulfill their grand dreams. And he finds that he has to specialize with patients who are affluent to be able to support his family. And so, instead of making all these great scientific discoveries, all he's doing is publishing papers about gout. That's reality. If you want to support a family, you don't just get to do what you want to do all day, generally speaking. You don't get to just do your scientific research and your innovative theorizing without any regard to the income you're bringing in. I mean, I don't think I can undo the child now. I guess, no, not even the orthodox church. You also have to have a vow of telepathy to be a cloistered monk. But maybe that was why they were like that, you know, like support a family. You know what I mean? If you've got a family, then all these things should get clear. You should be thinking and talking about, oh, that job does not appeal to me. Or I think anyone who does a white collar job is a fraud and a sellout. I have too much integrity. Or I just don't think I'd enjoy doing that. That shouldn't be a consideration. If you've got a family to support, then that should be your number one priority, not what makes you fulfilled in the workplace. Or maybe just the church didn't want to support the family. They're trying to cut down on their expenses just like modern universities hiring adjuncts. That's true too, yeah. At some level, the reason that I went to grad school was to avoid getting a real job. My sister did that too. Okay, and sometimes that works. But guess what? In school, I developed the habit of cheating in classes that I wasn't into. And that habit of taking the easy way out, that habit of cheating, that didn't just end in high school. That habit has permeated my life. That hole in my soul that's been there my whole life. And guess what? It's just under the surface right now. So these character flaws that I don't want to work. I'm just going to cheat. I just want to take the easy way out. There's an enormous price to pay. The problem is not that life is not fair. The problem is that life is not perfectly fair. And the mills of the gods grind slowly. But they grind exceedingly fine. And if you've got massive holes in your character, such as me, I would cheat rather than do the hard work in chemistry class. That habit of trying to cheat to get out of doing anything I did not want to do, that has not served me well in life. I am a 54-year-old bachelor. I have no kids. I have nothing saved for retirement. All right, I am not some shining star on a hill. I'm not some shooting star through a galaxy. All right, I'm a bloke who was throughout his life trying to take the easy way out and try to cheat rather than do hard work. And does not speak well of me. It's not served me well. I had a good job and then went to grad school to get out of it. She worked at her job for two years and was like, I'm done. I worked at a cafe at the bar reach for two years. And then I came across some money from a relative to go get the graduate degree in Great Britain. Then I thought I couldn't do worse than a minimum wage. And I went from minimum wage to unemployment for three years. And then I got a very low-paying job way below U.S. minimum wage in former Soviet Central Asia. Another part of all this for me is that in not having a real job for so long, I developed a lot of psychological freedom and freedom to not be disciplined stuff. You know what I mean? You kind of roll into campus sometimes at 9.45 or like... What are you talking about? I had to teach 7.30 a.m. class. Or like I would wear jeans and a plaid shirt or just... You wouldn't die in Africa if you wore that. You'd just make you wet to death. Yeah, and guess what? There's a price to pay for developing bad habits. Well, no, I mean, what did you wear? You would teach in shorts? Yeah, short sandals and bowling shorts. But normally I wear doctors. They're so hot and humid in Africa. But this is what I'm saying is that these jobs kind of... I mean, basically most people who have regular jobs had to internalize this thing when they were like 22 or 23, when they finished college, that life just sucks every day from 8 to 5. And the thing is, I haven't accepted that. And now at age 43, now I'm getting asked to, and I'm like, no, I don't want to. Oh, no, I don't want to. I mean, I have a family to support, but no, I don't want to. This is just insanity. And sometimes I think, in case he understands that he's in an insane place, but then he thinks he can just, the same mind that creates this insane thinking that's gotten him into this insane place, he realizes at times I'm sure that this is insane, but then he thinks, oh, I'm just gonna think my way out of this. The same type of thinking that's led me to this insane life, well, this thinking is now going to lead me out of this insane life. So it feels like he's in the grip of forces beyond his control, and he's spinning his wheels for years now. I gotta tell you, if you get students at state learning, it's worse teaching them as far as the chore that it is, and office hours are even worse than it is to be working and making coffee. Well, guess what? A barista's job is not always a joy. Most jobs have considerably challenging elements to them, getting along with people who aren't always thrilled to receive your services. So whether you're a bathroom attendant or a football player or a YouTube live streamer, most jobs demand that you interact with people that you don't like very much if you don't like or respect you. The only point that makes that worthwhile is the money, because my students encourage us down. When you had office hours, I would literally get every single student to be coming, oh, you should give me an A. I need an A. Give me an A. That's funny. I mean, I don't know. I kind of feel like what I find extraordinary is how... I mean, this is sort of a joke. I'm looking at the chat, and I've seen all of these people before. So these are not strangers. So it feels like a little bit of a behind-the-scenes in-group discussion where I can make some hyperbolic statements or jokes or whatever. And the joke is basically... Are we such... I'm talking about us, the people who watch Autopole show who think like we do. Are we such a marginalized, such a not connected, such a outsider? We are 41 people. Among these 41 people, does not one of them know a guy who could hire me? Yeah. Can't you guys hire me? You can see how much I respect hard work. You can see how willing I am to do things that aren't necessarily congenial to me. Why don't you know someone who's going to hire me? Where I can state... I feel like I should be... You put me on TV or something. I'll argue with... You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Come on, guys. Why haven't you put him on TV? I mean, this guy should be on TV. And I think Casey would be great on TV. But there aren't a lot of TV jobs. Those are fairly hard to get. I can do it. But it feels like... I don't know. Yeah. You can do a lot of things, but you don't want to do anything that you aren't thrilled with. Right? You don't want to saw you or yourself with being of service to other people. The church of entropy says, changing would involve giving up the moral high ground. He isn't going to do that. His moral high ground is his entire identity. Casey reminds me of tennis teachers. Many could be big. They want the easy cash and the loss, but they age out. And I think we could take that back to the end that we should check it out. Because I know that people who are exotic dancers streamers, enjoy your looks today. Pay the price tomorrow. It's just funny to me. I didn't know... Because I look around and there's like... You go out and there are idiots. Idiots. Everywhere. Employed. And I feel like... What do I have to do? Do I have to become dumber, on purpose? Yeah. People are employed and have jobs. They're the idiots. Maybe there are parts of them or parts of their ways of looking at the world that is idiotic. Maybe they're the idiot. Maybe the problem isn't that the entire world is idiotic. Maybe the problem is not that everyone else is an idiot. Maybe they're stuck in an idiotic situation. In order to get a job, that is a yoke. He thinks that he has to lower himself to get a job. He has to become more stupid. He is too intelligent to work an ordinary job, and when he looks out at the world, he thinks, oh, I have to lower myself and become dumber to get a job. That's insane thinking, insane. Somewhat heavier than I can bear, you know what I mean? Yeah. It's heavier than he can bear to go out there and be a worker among workers, to just be of service to an employer to just do as he's directed without regard to how he feels about it, without regard to whether he's really into it, whether he's really feeling it today. Why don't we have a network going, is what I'm saying? Why don't we have a network going? Why don't we have a community that subsidizes me doing the things that I want to do so that I never have to do anything that's not congenial to me? Why don't we have a network? Why don't we have a community that funds me and the staff to which I become accustomed without me having to do anything that I'm not really into? Because I would like to have told everything was based upon merit. And I would like to again have said that the most important thing for university professor hiring is to be published and research and publishing, of course. And you believe that? You believe that everything's just based on merit? So now you're shocked to find out that the world isn't just entirely based 100% on merit? Most people hired at university jobs have zero publications. And I've seen again and again, people with lots of publications not get hired. It has to do with who you know and your network. But they don't tell you that because it's all gatekeeping. They want to, like a goal to keep you out and them in so they can keep their cost up, right? It limits the supply. You know what the other funny thing is, is like, I mean, you know, what have I made? I don't know, whatever, like 40 hours of video content in the last six months or something. And I got these great thumbnails and some video editing skills. And you can clearly see that I can at least put together a sentence and so on. This looks like this looks like a skill. It's like, you can say, look, like this guy can do all this stuff himself. Like, imagine if you paid him what you could do, you know, and we're good with that. Where's the profit? I mean, it's like, exactly. OK, so making thumbnails is not not necessarily like a huge in demand job skill. I mean, yeah, Godward podcast, Casey has made some really cool thumbnails, and it's a skill that I've never bothered mastering. So good on Casey. He's done the work. He's made some thumbnails that that is a job skill. I'm not sure it's in huge demand. What is the backstory between Godward and Luke? So I have been friends with Casey since about 2004. In fact, since 2004, we had a friend in common in the academic world. So we've never met in real life, but we've communicated via email. We talked on the phone and we did a lot of live streams together between 2015 and 2018. So I have known Casey for 17 years. Because the thing is, no, the thing is I'm making these videos about Josephus, but the changes when they go, OK, OK, that's nice. But we want you to do it about this shampoo we're trying to sell to a bunch of people now make the same video. Right. And that's below him. Right. It's below him to be of service to other people. It's below him to do anything that he's not really into, if he's not really feeling it. He goes, we want 40 minute videos on how our shampoo makes your hair lustrous. And it's like, I don't want to do that. You know, I'll do it. Just give me what you want written. I'm ready. I don't know. It's I would. I would do like drive a truck or something I've been thinking about, because if you drive a truck like you basically it doesn't really matter what you do while you're driving the truck. And so I could at least listen to podcasts. I could probably even do one from the front seat of my truck. And like, no one they don't really need you to be like a fake person in order to do that job, right? Very much. I know one truck driver is my cousin. Yeah, he's a he's OK. Yeah, those jobs are disappearing, right? As automation takes over more and more of those jobs, there will be fewer and fewer of them. Now, the advantage to having a low status job is that you then get much more freedom of expression. So everything comes with a price. You have a high status job. You're a commentator on the telly or university professor or you're a politician, high status job, many more demands on you and your behavior and the words that you can say and the ideas that you can express and how you can express them. And there's going to be much more blowback on you when you have a high status position. So if you don't want to handle the blowback that comes with having a high status position and saying something a little bit out of line, then take a low status job. Become a plumber. But yeah, I don't I don't I think I'm going to be able to learn to drive, get along, drive a truck at age 50 and be able to compete. I mean, it should be like something that's like within like I've learned a little bit. So come on, guys. How about some introspection? Did did you go wrong? Did you make some mistakes? Did you fail to take the right off ramp in life? Do you think that you might have some blind spots? Do you think there might be an attitude problem here? Where's your community? Where's your pastor? Where's your church? Where are your friends? Where's your family? Where are your relations? Like what happened to your bonds? Right. What happened to your your human connections? Like these these are both Christians. They publicly identify as Christians. So where's their church? Where's their pastor? If I was pulling this when I was a Christian, when I was part of the Adventist church, my pastor, members of my church, members of my congregation, my friends would be calling me out and they'd be saying, Luke, you need an attitude adjustment, man. But seriously wrong with you. You think the whole world is going to just conform to what you want to do? Really? Grow up, man. Grow up. But to have a useful life means you have the attitude of being of service to other people. Useful life does not come from the attitude. Oh, the whole world has to conform to what I want to do. All right, my my pastors, my Christian friends, my churches, my church community, family relatives, they'd be they'd be holding interventions if I was pulling this stuff. Like where are their human bonds? Where are their ties? Where are their families, their communities, spouses, friends, pastors, relations? Like where are these people? At least in the last 50 years, I mean, even if it's like, you know, translating stuff from Russian into English, at least I have some familiarity with that. But, you know, people say you go and become a construction worker or drive a truck. I'm 50 years old and I got a piece of metal in one hour to be already, man. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's like Otto really shouldn't have to like get some stupid job and lower himself to that. Like there should be. Why, why would some other white collar job? Why should, why should Otto be immune to lowering himself to do the same kind of white collar job? That tens of millions of other Americans are doing. Like why should Otto and Casey be immune from reality? Why should they be immune to earning a crust? And the way you earn a crust is that you become willing to be a service to other people. Like where are their friends? Did they have any friends to say, bro, what's going on with you? You're sounding insane. We should have enough infrastructure in place already that someone can hire Otto. He's, you know, come on, look at him. He's 50 years old. He's tired. He doesn't want to get a job at Subway. You know, yeah, they should hire Otto and Casey to just simply do what Otto is willing to do anything. So Otto is willing. Sounds like he's willing to take any job. But Casey doesn't want to soil himself with anything that he's not really into. He needs a place. I don't know jobs at Subway right now. I mean, California is the shutdown of hiring. Yeah. Let's do a five minute digression on the state of reality. Like yesterday, so first of all, I think I've told you this, like I, okay, a five minute digression on the state of reality. So I'm going to suspect that Casey objects to reality. Casey thinks the world is wrong. The world's insane that he sees through the BS that he's not going to play the game anymore. He's got too much integrity to just go along with the way things are done in the world. And he's just sick of it, man. Problems with the world have been, I've basically been avoiding public spaces for a year because I hate wearing the mask that much. I know it's a little bit neurotic or crazy, but like it just gives me the willies. I feel like I can't breathe. I hate it. It makes me panic. So I've been, I've just been walking through nature and, uh, like sending my wife to the store and stuff and I had to go for my like annual, you know, Okay. What's the context? So the context is a 90 minute, two hour stream here earlier this evening by Otto, Paul and Godward podcast talking about how they can't get a job. And Godward saying, well, he's not willing to do anything. He's not really into, he's not going to lower himself. Otto says he's willing to do anything. He just can't find anything, but he's not willing to do manual labor. But what strikes me from this live stream is that there's zero introspection or very little introspection on their part. Okay. When did I go wrong? Where do I have some blind spots? Where do I have friends? Why don't I have normal human ties? Why aren't I a part of a church? Why don't I have a connection with a church community? With, with a, with a pastor? Why didn't I have anyone telling me the truth? I mean, this is just the equivalent of hearing alcoholics talk or drug addicts talk, a Black Lives Matter talk or Antifa talk. It's all about how all their problems are in the world out there. Like the world screwed up. The world's not conforming to their wishes. The reality is not as they wish it. And therefore they're just going to rage against reality. This is, this is the white version of Black Lives Matter. This is just a mirror image to Antifa here. This is just, this is just how alcoholics and drug addicts, this is just how they sound. Like the problems out there, my family's mistreating me. My boss doesn't understand me. The chicks aren't digging me. Blood test the other day. And dude, I'm not okay with what's going on out there. Like I had to see a, okay. He's not okay with what's going on out there. And okay. So what do you think is going to happen? You're not okay with the way the world works. So there are two possibilities. The world is going to change to accommodate you, which is not going to happen. Or you're either going to have to change to accommodate the world or you're just going to stay insane. Right. The world's not going to change to fit you. Right. It doesn't really matter that much if you're not okay with how the world is working. That's just insanity. You're not okay with how the world is working. So how many people died from, from COVID today? So I'll just, whoa, thank you so much for the super chat, Josh Randall, $10. Thank you so much. Essential shots on me, bro. Thanks, Josh. Okay. So in California today, we had 72 deaths from COVID. And we had over a thousand new cases. We got new variants of COVID. I'm no expert on COVID, but it's not just the flu. All right. We have more people dying each day in the United States than died on 9-11. We have over 600,000 people dying. And you're not okay with the way people are taking precautions so that it's not just they didn't contract a deadly disease. It's a normal human being doesn't want to transmit a deadly disease to somebody else who's more vulnerable. But what strikes me from many of my conversations here is people don't give a damn if they transmit the disease to someone who's more vulnerable and kills them. They don't care. It's like, oh, I'm fine. I'm strong. I don't care if I get COVID. And hey, let's say I transmit the disease to people who are more vulnerable and I kill a dozen people. I don't give a damn. Incredibly anti-social. Like a month ago. So, you know, you go in there and they take your temperature and they ask you if you've been tested for COVID. No, do you have any symptoms? No, they let me go. Yeah, but I have to wear a mask, right? Right. And the guy does the EKG. So I'm like half naked, except I have a mask on. I mean, like really. Yeah, me too. Same thing. And then the doctor comes. And of course, I want to show respect. So I get up to shake his hand, but he's not allowed to do that with the elbow bump. I'm like, come on. That's crazy. It's like crazy inducing, you know? It's like, you're like, you know, there's no where, like I felt so trapped because it's as if you're. There's no essential reason that you have to go crazy because the outside world is not conformed to your wishes. I think a much better attitude is, OK, why is the world the way it is? Why do people think the way they do? Why do people practice the way they are? Why are people abstaining from shaking hands? Why are people wearing masks in indoor spaces in particular? Like, what's the evidence that wearing a mask by reduced COVID transmission? I don't have a strong opinion either way from a little bit that I know wearing a mask outside usually seems absolutely silly. And wearing a mask in confined spaces when you're around other people. That that does seem to make some sense to me. Like, I think I've seen this before in some movie where they like force the participant out on the stage and like they have to act. And it's like the crowd will kill them or something if they don't play their part. And so that's what it feels like for me when it's like, and by the way, I was meeting a new doctor first time the other day because my old one retired. You know, so here I am like, you know, like this. Hi, nice to meet you. And I can't see his face. You can't shake his hand. They're looking back at me and, you know, and I have a history with the skin problem that's impossible to describe. So it's like, I've got 10 minutes, you know, and I'm meeting this new person and I'm talking through and I'm puffing air. It's like, this is not reasonable. But I look around me 100 percent, just everyone thinks it's reasonable, you know, people and they're just sitting there. OK, so the alternative is that you don't, you don't wear a mask and you're in confined spaces with other people. And I'm not an expert, but it doesn't seem totally inconceivable to me that wearing a mask when you're in a confined space around other people may well reduce the transmission of things like influenza. I didn't see why that idea is so inherently insane. They're all day. And I can't, I cannot and I will not get a job where I have to wear one of these things for eight hours a day. OK, so he's not willing to do all sorts of things. He's not willing to submit to reality because he's above and beyond reality. Reality needs to submit to Casey. Casey does not need to submit to reality. Casey is going to make reality his bitch, which makes him tremendously entertaining at times and fun and sometimes quite insightful, but also incredibly insane and self-destructive. And the self-destructive spiral is being going down for years now. But I'm watching my friend self-destruct, self-destruct, self-destruct, self-destruct, self-destruct, month, month, month, month, month, month, month, month, month, self-destruct, self-destruct, self-destruct. And I mean, there's nothing I can do about it. He's he has his own life. He's not going to listen to me. I'm not doing it. I'll never do it. I'm not doing it. It's crazy, you know. But and that's because what he does more about the effectiveness and lack of effectiveness of reducing transmission of influenza in confined spaces when you're around a lot of other people, particularly, say, in a doctor's office. I likely heard that there will be some vulnerable people in a doctor's office. But hey, I'm not going to wear a mask in a doctor's office. And I don't care if I transmit something that kills five other people. I'm not going to submit to wearing a mask, because, hey, screw them. If they're vulnerable, if they got comorbidities, if they're a bunch of fatties with high blood pressure, like, why, why should I inconvenience myself? Like, why should I feel uncomfortable to preserve and protect the lives of other people? Screw them. I'm Casey. I'm not going to feel uncomfortable to save the lives of other people. Screw them. Screw everyone else. Screw the world. Screw reality. I'm not going to demean myself by wearing a mask. Hey, a lot of vulnerable people around, but screw them. Let the more die of COVID. I'm way too moral to wear a mask. But if those are your limitations, you're looking for remote work, you know, and like remote work. I don't, I don't even know where to begin with all this stuff. It's crazy. I don't have any such limitations, but I have not had good luck. I applied. I don't think I'm up to like 150 jobs since I got back to the U.S. I'm like three or four places. Wow. Art Bell notes that Red Bar admits to being wheelchair bound. Likely some kind of degenerative bone disease. I had no idea. That's interesting. This is so scary to hear from a guy. Usually this is 30s, 40s women who lost their looks, lost their superpowers, waited too long to have kids in marriage. They need to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and brush that COVID off. I put my mask on so people like Luke will feel safe. Hey, right. Yeah, that's it. That's it. You put your mask on so other people can feel safe. Has nothing to do with there is apparently some evidence that you will reduce the chances that you will kill other people. Right. That's not what it's about though. Okay. There is substantial evidence that you will reduce your odds of killing other people. I don't know if that evidence is conclusive. I'm not an expert. I'm sure that there are arguments against it, but there does appear to be some substantial evidence that you likely reduce the transmission of things like influenza and enclosed spaces around a lot of people if you mask up. But hey, why should you feel uncomfortable just to save the lives of random strangers? Like why should you care about a bunch of randos who have co-morbidities? They probably have a coming, right? They've interviewed me one place twice, which was in Minneapolis. I can't believe they're firing actually. Like, are there 150 job ads? Yeah. Wow. But not all in the US, but I just applied to five jobs this week. Well, I mean, I don't know. It's funny. You're thinking about your London University. That is like a bummer. It's because I had to look it up too, to be honest with you. Like, and then I looked it up and it's a prestigious first rank university and but for some reason it doesn't have a name notoriety or something. I don't know where you are. Yeah, probably. Yeah. Not in the US, not in certain places, but not in places that should. I was I'm still, you know, when I worked in Iraq and Kurdistan, they'd never heard of it, even though from 1918 to 1932, the three guys that had total control over the British colonial authorities all had PhDs from so as they were basically a so as colony during the mandate period. And yet now they've completely forgotten it. These are the type of and these are the HR people and the administrator. This kind of tells you why they're higher education in the Middle East of the total failure. Yeah. Yeah, I mean. Look, I think the way that many people do things is wrong. I think there are many aspects of reality that I don't like. I think the world is is doing things wrong and in all sorts of areas. I just don't expect the world is going to bend to my wishes. Alex knows the questions of whether masks are useful, right? That seems to me that in certain places, confined spaces around a lot of the people I can see use for masks, but whether they're useful or not, if you refuse to wear them, you're making yourself unemployable in all sorts of jobs. But hey, it's more important right to keep the moral high ground. Now, this will probably be phased out of the course of this year in most environments. Yeah. So usually to hold down a job or just to get along with other people, to live in community, to maintain friendships, human connections, to be part of a church, to be part of a professional community, to be part of a hobbyist community. You often have to go along with things that you don't approve of, right? But when I go to synagogue, the rabbi doesn't rush out and say, okay, Luke, these are the 15 things that I'm planning to do today. Do they meet with your approval? Right? When I get on the bus, everyone doesn't gather around and say, oh, Luke, tell me are these plans, these activities that we're going to do while we're riding on the bus with you? Do they meet with your approval? When I walk down the street, people don't gather around and pull on my seat seat and say, give me a bracha 40. Are my various plans are they meeting with your approval? When I drive down the road, the other drivers aren't sending me text messages to make sure that the way they're driving meets with my approval. Am I conforming to your wishes for how reality should work 40? It doesn't happen. I don't know if you follow any kind of libtard types or like NPR or something. And now, if you ever see one of these tweets where they'll say, yeah, libtards, that's a great attitude to take into life. Just people who are a little bit left to center that just a bunch of retards. Like I saw a tweet today that said something, it was from one of these like shit libs saying like, even though you've gotten the vaccine, that doesn't mean you don't have to wear a mask or something. Yeah, shit libs, libtards. There's an approach to life that should make for wonderful success. Boy, I'd love to have someone like this represent my company. And then I, and this is like crazy to me. I mean, immediately just like what? And then I look at the replies and it's like 10 to one at least are people going like, good, I like wearing a mask. I'm going to wear it the rest of my life. Even in my outdoors. And it's like, what's like, what they've like, you know, they've kind of like internalized the lie or something. And it's like, what is happening? Like, what, you know, it's my family. It's my neighbors. Wait, what lie? You haven't referenced anything like what studies? What evidence do you have that wearing a mask when you're around a lot of people in a confined space provides zero benefit? We need, we need this to end. Like it's, it's the only thing that matters. And like, if we can't get the masks off in public, I don't care about your politics. You know what I mean? It's the only thing. And we're, we're doing nothing about it. And it's not improving. And, and you have this expertise. How? Like during, during how, how many years of study do you have in this area? What degrees do you have? How do we know that we should even take you seriously on this topic? We get that you don't find it comfortable and we get that you don't find it aesthetically pleasing. But what evidence do you have to support your point of view? I mean, help. No. All right. Well, well, I, I'll wait and ask if somebody wants to hire me. If it's at least $15 an hour. What a sellout. What a liberal. I'm willing to sell out. If you want me to write Maoist propaganda. I'm willing to just got to be high enough right here. Just, just this way having you like one notch more desperate than I, it's still a joke to me. So I had in 2004, I had a girlfriend. She had a PhD in economics and she was working for a trade association that wanted government subsidies and she didn't approve of this. She was a free market economist, but guess what? Her job required her to write up reports that would be used for her trade association, her employer to lobby for things that she did not believe in, right? That's what people have to do when they go to work. They have to fulfill the wishes of their employer. And at the same time, she was telling me, I can't date you anymore because you're writing on the point industry. And so I tried to make the argument to her. Look, you're selling out everything you believe in because you need this job to pay the bills. I'm not thrilled that I'm writing on the point industry for my primary source of income and I'm going to be able to move on from that one day. But right now, both of us are compromising and doing things that we're not proud of and she didn't buy it. So we went our separate ways and I respect her for that. And eventually she went on to work at an academic institution that stood for her free market approach to life. But for a while there, she had to do things that she didn't want to do. Yeah. Yeah, I'll say so. This is how the gulag works now. It's just like descent. Yeah. You've got things better than 99% of humanity. And you're looking at the world as though you're at a Soviet gulag where millions of people died. How insane is that? For whatever your problems right now, you have things better off than 99% of humanity. You have things better off than 99.9% of humanity who's ever lived. And yeah, it's like your announcements. Through the stages of grieving. Can you somebody to run labor camp? I'm your man. Yeah. I don't know, man. It's weird times to be alive. I keep hoping, like I remember reading a thing one time. I think you kind of confirmed this that by the late 80s in the Soviet Union, they had reached this thing where like kind of everybody had a master's degree in engineering or something. But like, they were all driving taxis too. And like it just, it was like everyone was like this over educated. Oh yeah, well you see that in the post-soviet. Like when I was in Kyrgyzstan, you see a lot of these guys that were ethnic Russians. Yeah. And they all had like PhDs in like radio engineering and electrical engineering. And they also placed by some Kyrgyz political appointee. So they were driving a taxi to make ends meet. And I feel like that's what we're approaching in America is that point where it's like everyone's got two degrees but like no one has a real job anymore. And so I'm hoping. Yeah. Yeah. You notice that in America today? No one has a real job anymore. Except for about 150 million Americans. Like what planet is my buddy on? Like my friend has lost his mind. It's been going on for years. It's, it is what it is. I'm hoping it's hard to measure like because don't you think by one measure you could look back and say well it was really 1965 that the revolution happened in this country. And that makes, that puts it at what? 60 years almost? 55. So like that's, we're getting into late, you know late experiment civilization territory potentially, hopefully. Yeah. Well 65 was when Markuza. Hopefully. So he hopes that this is end civilization. So why do you think it's going to happen if this civilization ends? I think it's just going to peacefully transition to a much nicer civilization. No. If this civilization ends in the United States of America we will ascend into savagery and barbarity. Hope that position University of California San Diego after Brandeis refused to renew his contract. Isn't that amazing? Back then somebody refused to renew your contract you could get like another job at a prestigious university instantly. Now it's like it takes years. Yeah. It's almost like ostracism in my view at least, you know, but but yeah there are and then there's jobs like you know like carpenter or like electrician or plumber or a bike fitter or whatever and these jobs are Yeah. If I could go back 30 years. Right. I mean they're kind of honorable jobs but I feel like well okay but it takes like two years of training first of all and then like second it's North Carolina where I am it's a million degrees all summer and that's the one thing that sets me off most so I can't I probably can't do that. So then you're like okay so you know plus you'd have to wear a mask now imagine being imagine being one of those guys that goes up and fixes air conditioners or something but you got to wear a mask so it's like 110 up there and you're you know man things are so stupid but yeah I don't know like I don't know it's uh it's an interesting it'll be yeah I'm kind of I don't know maybe in like three years you know like what would the end of it look like here do you think like maybe they break up like some based president comes in kind of breaks up all of these crazy oligarchic monopolies and then like what small businesses maybe again I don't know maybe they seem to be hurting here because uh you know the clientele can't like go to so this is like listening to Richard Spencer Richard Spencer's only going to talk about what's wrong with the world what's wrong with other people what's wrong with competing personalities in the distant right sphere you never get much introspection from Richard Spencer on where he went wrong what his mistakes were so Richard just wants to talk about how evil the world work is I mean this is this is the same same thing that Casey is saying essentially right there there are better and worse ways of looking at life and this this attitude that you know I'm up here I'm looking down on the rest of the world I'm just going to destroy everyone else it's not not really a great way to go through life Josh Randall $20 super chatter may end up in LA in two weeks will you be available for a hang absolutely my friend absolutely there's so much beauty in the world there's so much to be grateful for there's God there's the transcendent the love is all around us beauty's all around us we we are so privileged we have things so good we have so many wonderful opportunities we've had so many people who've been kind to us we've had so many people who've been good to us we've had so many people who have loved us we've had so many people who've helped us out we've had so many people forgive the stupid, ugly, mean, vicious, nasty things that we've done to them maybe think about that think about someone who's been kind to you think about someone who's forgiven you think about someone who's tolerated you at your worst think about someone who cares for you Think about someone who treasures you And then and then speak from that place Rather than this rage against reality Look at them like, you know, they keep shutting down. No, I think like indoor dining Yeah We've been like, I don't know. I just yeah, I mean maybe indoor dining stuff But like or like storefront shops all over our town are shut and like I mean for example Here's the thing like this is a joke almost because now is not the time to start this But I always kind of wanted to have a fish tank store, you know Like basically an aquarium shop and I would do that job I mean, even though it might be like, you know, 10 in the morning to eight at night or something But like you mean to sell fish or hobby or sell like live fish with a Chinese The second one might have a larger market. The second one might say Chinese overlords come in You can look I have live fish for you. Yeah. No, but I'm saying like the fish tank store thing It's like you can't open that business right now You know, first of all, nobody goes outdoors and secondly like probably Amazon is shipping live pet fish or something at this point Or you know drone like it's kind of like it's like saying you want to be a like shoe maker You see what I'm saying like basically there are no like the kinds of storefront shop jobs that you might honorably do are kind of replaced by Amazon Like you can't do a job like there's nothing Why is it more honorable to do it in a storefront than it is to do it for Amazon? Like a bookstore like I would love to do a bookstore, but name of bookstores like there aren't any anymore There's a barn to nobles in the Irvine spectrum. Yeah, that's all there is and there's zero bookstores that carry sort of like auto-polls books, you know Yeah, pretty much Yeah, I would doubt there's one bookstores that carries one of my books So this book is carried at the AHSGR bookstore in Lincoln, Nebraska One bookstore in the US that has that you can buy in person or at least you could in 2019 who knows what's happened now Yeah, yeah, so you can't you can't work for a bookstore that doesn't stock auto-polls books, right? That would just that would just be lowering yourself the other thing Yeah, that's funny that like the chat is I mean I get the joke You know angle droid or somebody said like I can only imagine Casey talking to like the manual laborers But the thing is this is the whole the story of my life is like all of my friends growing up were manual labor type people And like I played sports like a dumb jock and didn't read any books until I was 20 So like that's my I feel fairly I don't know Maybe I've changed and maybe they would beat me up now or something But like I kind of I think those are my people in a way So I it's not that that I like I would like that, but I just I don't know that I can do The kind of I don't know that I can do back breaking eight to five Outdoor in the heat. I don't want to do that shit right now. No or cancer something So I need one of these fake lying. That's the point is that anybody who isn't a manual labor is a liar at this point Well, I'd rather not, you know Well, anyone who isn't a manual labor is a liar at this point This isn't just something that Casey just tossed off the top of his head now This has been an ongoing theme on his Twitter account for months There's after enough of these tweets that I stop stop following my friend because it's just so insane so toxic That that anyone who's not a manual labor What did he say it's just a liar and a fraud right now That's crazy back breaking eight to five outdoor in the heat. I don't want to do that shit right now You know or cancer something so I need one of these fake lying. That's the point Is that anybody who isn't a manual labor is a liar at this point? Anyone who isn't so a doctor a nurse Someone if Casey has to go to the hospital Right and his life is in other people's hands So those people who could potentially save his life. They're all liars and frauds The nurse who might come in and 10 to him is just a liar and a fraud the doctor Who possibly provides life-saving surgery is just a liar and a fraud Like the policeman who protects him and his family is just a liar and a fraud his pastor Is just a liar and a fraud But uh 50 000 pastors around the united states. They're just liars and frauds 50 000 priests around the united states. They're just liars and frauds Uh every Therapist every What uh insurance adjuster is just a liar and a fraud It's crazy. I'd rather not you know Well, I I like to think of uh, you know University professors as being part of the proletariat since we only have our labor to sell to those people who own the actual means of production And it ain't uh I think probably what i'm gonna do is Maybe try to get a job I don't know like you think maybe I should just teach like it seems like teaching high school Even though of course they're gonna make you like teach some diversity books or something and it'll be kind of ideological like I don't know. Maybe I could like carve that out somehow and I've had really bad luck Flying for the few private like secondary school prep schools. I've seen I got one interview at a place Well, why wouldn't a prep school want to bring out this kind of attitude? Like why aren't they lining up to to import this kind of attitude? Thank you so much Another super chat from Josh Randall the The underwriter of this show press one if Luke's interview prowess has bumped up measurably in the last three years I'll go first one. Yeah, well Thanks, Josh. I'm gonna spend your money on taking courses on how to be better at this job He's outside of Salt Lake City once yeah, but for the most part they don't have a lot of advertisements And they are less likely to give you an interview than a community college or a four-year liberal arts college or university Yeah, it's I don't know like I the thing about it for me is that in if I go back to like 2015 2016 or something like I don't I'm like you like I did maybe maybe I used the wrong terms or something But I kind of feel like I just felt like I was normal and then like, you know starting with like when they legalized gay marriage and stuff I was like, hold on what the hell's going on here, but you can't do that, right? And so without even really realizing it. I sort of became untouchable and I don't know. I kind of feel like Like like I do have other friends who are professionals Yeah, don't you guys have friends? I mean, don't you have anyone who cares about you and is willing to Talk to you and to help you and to Possibly challenge you don't you have anyone in your life is willing to challenge you the our tank He says I love the piece that Otto and Luke did on socialist racism, the Soviet Union and Israel. Yes, that was Very interesting essay by Otto Paul. I did not know that So, I appreciate many of Otto's critiques of Israel and I've had Otto on the show 50 times Pretty professional like I don't like not manual laborers. They have like lawyer. Yeah, uh, yeah Like like they have to go to these diversity training seminars now. It's not just in academia is the point Yeah, that's true. So it's become a thing that's like this kind of national Guess what in almost all jobs through almost all of human history You've had to do things that you're not really into you don't really want to go along with United States has Many wonderful characteristics and some ugly characteristics among its ugly characteristics is Latidiousness and the United States was has been like this for 300 plus years. All right. Thank you. Thank you very much But the United States has always been highly litigious And so to try to reduce the chances of getting hit with a judgment companies are doing Things like some diversity training Right. There's there's a downside to america's litigiousness Lie that it's like and it's a it's a literal requirement to have a job that isn't Like a manual job. That's like no not not every white collar job requires you to undergo diversity training So I don't know what the figure would be probably less than 10 percent But yeah, every job is going to require you in all likelihood to do some things that you're not really into That employers are going to want to mitigate the possibility of some nasty legal judgment And that's going to require you to say and do some things that you're not really into This is if you want to have a wife and keep a wife You're going to have to say and do some things that you're not really into if you want to keep friends You're going to have to say and do some things you're not really into if you want to be part of any community You're going to have to go along with some things that you're not really into And I don't want to have to tell that lie like I actually feel like it's kind of bad for your soul Like this is how people would get out of an insane asylum talk. Oh, I see through the BS I'm not gonna tell these lies anymore. I'm not willing to sell out You know I mean like I felt I actually felt like injured by the whole pretending about the masks thing the other day I was like, this is bad for me Like I can tell I'm less of a good person because I put this on and complied with the thing and I'm like Repent of doing that, but you know, I didn't see a way around it. I guess or something. Yeah, he's a bad person following directions for Going along with the crowd like going along with what everyone's doing is not always the best strategy It's usually the best strategy. You really don't want to be an outlier going against the crowd and And this is what makes you think you're not a good person because you went along with directions And it's the same with like like I don't know whatever people do for jobs, you know calling people on the phone about insurance or whatever Like that's your you're a liar like, you know, I Don't know if this is just like what maybe this is like I don't know. I feel like I need somebody and nobody wants to nag me from the chat But I don't hear it like just be like just stopping a pussy and you know pay that pay the tax man He's do or whatever, you know. Oh Yeah, like just just half-assed Stop being a pussy man up and become willing to be of service to other people Pretend basically, but you know, I don't pretend all day. It sounds that's you don't want to pretend You pretend all the time to your wife to your kids You pretend to your friends to your neighbors, right? People shower every day people put on deodorant people put on their work face people obey Certain protocols where they go to church or where they go to synagogue where they go to a yoga studio Right being just authentic you does not work There are times when it's great to be authentic But as a general attitude for how you conduct yourself in the world is I'm only gonna say and do what I feel like That is disaster But that you're not gonna pretend Nobody can can get away with that Everybody has to pretend constantly you want to stay married. You have to pretend If you want to stay in your church, you have to pretend if you want to stay in your synagogue You sometimes have to pretend you want to stay in your yoga studio Sometimes you have to pretend if you want to hold a job you have to pretend sometimes That sounds terrible to me. I'm willing to pretend it doesn't do any good. Well, yeah, yeah Because that was my strategy in Kurdistan I would just like go into the lectures and but not really care too much about them and spend all my time writing and researching but the mismanagement was so bad they decided they were going to get rid of a Over a quarter of the faculty so they could redirect the Money towards the administration so anybody who wasn't politically connected got axed. It didn't matter how much they published it In fact, that was a usually a negative sign that they were they didn't have connections. They were trying to rely upon merit So it didn't matter ideologically in my department the two guys that were axed were me and my best friend there Who happened to be like a left-wing Marxist, you know, not not like one of the shit live But like, you know, the upper left-hand quarter that the old dials. Yeah, the old dial socialists I mean this is the thing though about like meritocracy that has been driving me crazy since You know 2016 or something which is that like it's a fake. It's like what is merit? You know, if by merit you mean the ability to like, okay What is merit? So some jobs require that you know how to use certain software, right? That's that's what merit means in some jobs that you know how to use certain software in other jobs It requires that you know how to carry out certain procedures It's not that complicated. What is merit? Well, when it comes to a doctor You probably don't want someone who got into medical school on affirmative action You probably don't want someone who's been sued a bunch of times for medical malpractice Like merit is not that difficult. You follow sports, right? It's not necessarily true that the best college basketball team wins much madness every year, but Generally speaking that is the way things work out now Sometimes rest refs will cost, you know, the better team a game, but generally speaking that's not how it works So the problem is not that much madness has zero fairness to it The problem is that much madness like everything in the human condition is not perfectly 100% fair You know kill your soul and become like part of the state propaganda like yeah, it's a meritocracy, right? But I mean and like I know I just where did I hear this the other day? Somebody said that oh, this is like just some romantic It's just silly to say you know to imagine that like merit in a kind of like virtuous sense could ever be rewarded, you know But it's like why is that why does it? Yeah, and a lot of jobs you need certain skills and if you have certain skills You can make a whole packet of money. So yeah, sometimes merit is rewarded Josh Randall says wish I could be friends with church of entropy But she's super mean to me So UCLA has won The first two games in March Madness, so I love college basketball and I need to warn you guys There's a TV show that you might just hear. Oh, this is a cool show It's very entertaining and you start watching it. It's filled this particular show It's just filled with really crude animalistic sex. I mean these guys are just hammering each other I mean, it's heterosexual. It's all heterosexual But they're just banging and they're just sucking and it's just on a very Anomalistic level and it's not necessary to the plot line Don't really think it adds to the character development And so I'm just concerned that you might slip and start watching this TV show It's also it's just filled with violence and it's really well done. It's incredibly compulsively entertaining So I'm just putting this out there because I want you to be prepared I don't want you to just like slip into watching this TV show and then just heading downhill because of all the gratuitous sex and gratuitous nudity and I mean belay show Seems like every episode some dudes getting blown and then the next episode some woman woman's getting eaten out and then someone's always getting shot and killed and I just don't want you guys to fall into banshee All right, just this compulsively entertaining TV show on cinemax just filled with gratuitous sex and violence I think it's totally unnecessary. So I warn you don't watch banshee You're very likely just get sucked in you'll spend your time much more productively Reading the Bible. So please don't watch the TV show banshee from cinemax read the Bible instead. Is that a joke? I just mean like people who um Because it was used as a shield by people to Were dependent upon networks themselves for their employment to other people from forming networks to compete with them It actually reminds me of it reminds me I had this this I had like a premonition of all this when I was a freshman in college and I had this like one He felt a dick vision. Well, no, it was realer than that Really happened Like that and so in like this was 1996 At a shit state school you've never heard of in michigan and but my freshman composition Professor was this brand new professor lady named janice. I shouldn't say her name. Should I who cares though? Janice is fine. Okay. Anyway, she she was this brand new professor So that means she had not gone through grad school until she was like 50 or 55 Okay, but so that means but that also means she came out with like zeal from I think like I can't remember somewhere in Chicago Maybe or something so 1996 and This was first semester of college. Okay first semester of college. You're welcome to college writing class We should have been reading Thucydides or something But she had us reading something about semiotics, which is you know, the theory of signs or whatever and Yuri latman Yeah, yes, that's like that and like I'm like 18 and I've only read like huck fan You know and I'm like what the fuck is this and I just wanted to get through it and write the paper and stuff And so what she had us do was write a paper about a personal space Like as a semiotic analysis, okay, and then like I'm like what so I only I lived in an apartment with six other guys And so the only personal space I had was my bedroom. So Yuri latman was this uh, jewish scholar in uh, estonia Yeah So so this is the kind of so I'm like, uh, you know, but I got to do the assignment You know so personal space I look around my bedroom Basically, I'm 18 years old I have a couple of posters of swimsuit girls on the walls and like a dresser and a computer and that's it, you know So a semiotic Yeah, so that's what I did so About these posters on the wall and it's like, you know Like I wrote up about these women on the wall and how they're like, you know I guess in both of the pictures they were making eye contact, you know with the camera And so potentially that means that I want attention from women or something like this Like this is what the paper I wrote, you know, now this lady had invited herself into my bedroom You know what I mean like what the fuck like why do I have to write about a personal space for you lady? I just want to get through the writing class, right? And of course needless to say although I wasn't like a big reader I was I was like pretty good at writing when I was 18. Okay I know that I wrote a good paper according to the assignment But she didn't like the fact that I had naked girls on the walls and so that she the point is she gave me a B plus, okay a B plus and I'm like Like there's no way this is a B plus like I wrote everything you want. Yeah I had a professor who gave me a B plus because he found me rude in class So life is not perfectly fair There were times when I got a B plus grade where I deserved an A and that's how the world works I'm gonna have to start up the the world's smallest violin here want me to do. It's perfect, right? So the premonition in all of this is that it wasn't a meritocracy because what got in the way was This woman's ideology It was like she didn't like the way that I thought about reality and she was like convert, you know And so being me just to fuck with her. I guess I took her again the next semester to make sure I could get an A And like I think I pulled it out the next semester But like do you see what I'm saying? Is it like this? I don't want to have to live like that Like it was one thing when I was 18 and and like You know you kind of in college you kind of hold your breath and get through it or something But it's like you resolve. I will not be a liar like this after Guess what? You're gonna have to deal with reality even after 18 even after college. You're not always going to dominate every interaction This is how the world works We're all in multiple interactions every day and when there's a conflict between you and another party The dominant party decides the rules so As human beings we don't have the time or the energy to fight or negotiate Every disagreement we have with other parties the way the world works is that the Person in the more powerful position decides and the person in the weaker position submits so I was in an online conversation with a writer for the new yorker This past week and we were going back and forth and then I wrote about five paragraphs and he didn't respond and he still hasn't responded It's three days now. Okay, so he has a more prestigious position. He's higher status and You can tell where you are In your power level with other people by who rides back quicker. All right, so lower status people Have to wait longer for their emails or their dms to get answered if they get answered at all Lower status people may have to write, you know, five paragraphs to get a one sentence response All right, so and all your interactions during the day right If if you have a disagreement with someone who's in a more powerful position than you Generally speaking, you're just going to have to submit. That's the way the world works The strong take what they want the weak endure what they must I get out of here, you know, but now that same lady is in charge of every hr department in every business in the country is the point And I don't like it Yeah, uh, I only know of uh, let me out of I've worked in hr And some hr ladies are awesome. Some hr ladies are politically incorrect It's not an oppressive health scape in every hr department Hr ladies are like former english literature professors. Some are awesome. Some suck and some are mediocre because of your elopement, but uh, I put a little link there, but It was somebody else, but Yeah, it's it's a very eastern european sort of well. Yeah, I mean, I guess I guess he was really from leningrad Yeah, uh, but he moved to stonia. So start to which used to be dorapak Which was where the luchin seminary in the russian empire was where all the germans and there's a question 40 what if the vaccine contains pork? It's it's not a problem. So the kosher laws are for what you deliberately eat but if If a life-saving vaccine contains pork a jew's still allowed to to take it Friends from the vulgar they had to go all the way to stonia for their theological training. Uh, so i've been in a nice city Still looks like it's in the 18th century even today So it says in the Torah these the laws And you shall live by them. All right, so you can die on a hill for your principles Like kasey seems quite intent on Destroying his life because he's just so moral and he sees through the bs and he's just not going to lie anymore and And kasey's not going to put up a false front He imagines even though everybody has to put up a false front if they want to get along with other people So this connects to the question about jewish observance, all right Jewish observance the laws are for you to live by them not to die by them All right, and these fatuous moral stands that kasey is taking He is intent on on dying by his morality when instead he should be trying to live By his morality to live and be a blessing to others by being willing to be of service to other people And to provide for his family by lowering himself to serve the needs of other people Get a salary and health benefits I mean, dude, I just think I don't know Yeah, like mark miller gets me mark miller gets me But in the point is is like mark miller too is gonna he's gonna start some big business and hire me because he gets it Like that's what i'm saying is like, yeah, i'm a frat bro And in the world i grew up in that was merit like that was merit That was what i was told you had to do to succeed was be sociable be loyal be, uh, you know fluent or whatever Like be able to you know tell a good yarn and that's what like that's how you know University of Ghana, they they don't have fraternities But the the dorms are kind of like fraternities and the way they operate And there's one that's all males called the commonwealth But they're nicknamed the vandals because there were some incidents in the early 60s after some heavy drinking But if you're a professor, you have to like join one of these dorms as an advisor So like I joined the commonwealth. It was the only all male one the vandals so Prior to 2017 the old right just seemed like a bunch of you know fun loving pranksters and Since 2017 2018 anyway, they seem to be dominated by whining by a victimhood mentality That the life is just impossible that is constantly requiring me to lie and to put up a false front It used to be such a fun group of people and now it's just victimhood pleading like black lives matter and in tifa But uh, we had like a meeting uh every month or so a big dinner party But some of those guys like to use those connections pretty well So maybe maybe I could still use my connections because I think technically once you're a vandal you're always a vandal in truth Dan also what happened to like babs? Why can't babs hire me or didn't I see ev in here earlier? Like these new guys don't they know somebody talking slick will like me. I mean Come on Yeah, why why aren't you guys bailing out? Casey, I mean he's got such a great attitude. He's got so much willingness to be of service to other people Why aren't you subsidizing him bailing him out hiring him? What's wrong with you guys? Why aren't you jews putting money in his pocket? You just give us a statement with the billions of dollars Yeah, and that's another thing is like Well, yeah, I feel like I do feel like I thought I mean come on. Where's Peter feel? Why isn't he calling me like I'll shield for libertarianism. I could do that That's you know some talk about Milton Friedman all day or something. We could have like the big Yeah, yeah, it's just so alluring Why don't people want to Want to hire him got such a great attitude All right, Andrew Joyce wrote a long takedown of Nathan Kaftas the first of a three-part series on the Occidental Observer And Nathan Kaftas now it responds Andrew Joyce attacks my paper for being published in allegedly poorly ranked a little regarded journal in a rebuttal published in the Occidental Observer very strange one of his main complaints is that I didn't engage enough with Kevin McDonald's text Yet this response to my paper in philosophy Does not contain a single quote from or citation to the paper in general the paper is not even in the references At least here in part one of the Kaftas problem. There's no evidence. He read it at all Andrew Joyce writes citing Jacob Katz and as an owner of several volumes by Katz of check for accuracy Perhaps the foremost mainstream 20th century scholar Jewish question relations between the medieval and modern periods Kevin McDonald astutely qualifies the summary of Marxist anti-semitism By stressing that Marx argued against the idea that Jews must give up their Jewishness to be German citizens The envisioned that Judaism freed from the principle of greed Would continue to exist in the transformed society after the revolution now joy speaking Kaftas not only does never a response to this fact all the source material Is article merely dissembles that it doesn't exist Like Kevin McDonald in any case does not make a reference to it again This is in the context of Kaftas's accusation of misrepresented sources and cherry picked backs Who is really misrepresenting sources in this instances? And Kaftas response who is misrepresenting sources? Let's see. I wrote in the 2018 paper Okay, you can oh shit, what did I do? Okay. Yeah, you can you can read the You can read the whole back and forth So Kevin McDonald Replied to Kaftas. I admit that my citation to Jacob Katz is screwed up and I am investigating So I provide a quote showing that Marx said the opposite of what Kevin McDonald claims based on the citation to Katz Thank you. Thank you very much and And Kevin McDonald acknowledges that the Katz reference is screwed up yet Andrew Joyce falsely says that Kaftas not only does have Have a response to this fact or the source material is article merely dissembles that it doesn't exist Nathan responds my paper in Philosophia discusses a Jewish role in the 1965 act that In mass immigration of the United States Joyce doesn't mention the 1965 act here at all said he wants to move the goalposts and argue that Jews currently aren't as over represented in Anti-immigration organizations as they are in pro-immigration organizations. This is another issue Okay, so Andrew Joyce has two more Parts to his three-part series on the Nathan Kaftas problem Wait, I will shield sincerely for Maoism or whatever they will pay me for and you can do the opposite of whatever We should just why don't you become a Maoist Marxist and I'll become like a weirdo libertarian and like you know Like sticks I'll grow my hair out and stuff and That is a bourgeois Traveling show, I don't know Yeah, I mean I spoke on Mao and it's got this part where all these French Maoists went to China and the Chinese insistence They cut their hair before they let them across the border in Hong Kong based like they would never let the French government tell them that under the Gull but Mao says it. Oh, it's okay I don't know man. I don't know What else is going on lately? Well, I'm finishing up the book on Germans from Russia so it's like that the proposal has been approved by The English language acquisitions editor out of London and the series editor out of Stuttgart So now it's undergoing a blind peer review By people selected by the editor in London. So I should here. Yes or no whether send the whole manuscript in a few weeks Well, but I know there's a big a lot of money off of it Even though it is a for an academic publisher a pretty big name at least in Germany. Yeah Yeah, I don't know like and the other thing is like Um, I mean that first of all good job writing your book. Jeez man. That's awesome I never have the staying power to finish a book because I feel like I write chapter one And it's like chapter one, which I've written like six times for it's like chapter one is either I can't do it because I'm like who is reading this. There's no one who wants to read this You know, I can't think of an audience for the mother to read it. Yeah, not at all. And so I don't know So that's why your wife read it. Maybe you put it away, dude She would never read anything. I would write and that it's like If you read my manuscript, I'll read your manuscript and you'll reach out one reader Maybe but anyway, the point is is that like, yeah, this I remember I noticed this in the last couple years I was teaching that the uh, like a lot of the students who were in these like the business majors marketing and stuff would They they like even in college like when they were 2021-22 they started Like marketing like marketing themselves, you know what they call that branding themselves, right? Like they they made these like instagrams that were all consistently one tone or something and It's like I don't want to do that. Like how can that be what it takes to get a job? It's like become some like walking advertisement, you know It's just unbelievable. I mean the guy with the sandwich boards I mean, yeah, like I guess yeah, that's that's like that's the job at this point. Yeah Is he willing to do anything to get a job and support his family do that But like I could do that too. That's like the thing is that's Like that's not even a horror to me I'll dress up like a monkey and stand outside of you know, whatever monkey joes and be the guy Like that's not even embarrassing because it's this self-aware embarrassing thing But in most jobs the bot like even like the boss thinks it's serious and expects you to think it's serious But it's clearly not serious, you know, and that's the thing. I don't want to deal with so I don't know It's a jam. It's a jam Maybe I should be I wish I could be like paul talk and be kind of like You know, like a photographer. It feels like a reality is to be very disappointing to kasey The world is not as he would wish it refer or something like Just sell just you know sell 12 photographs a year for thousand each and just scrape by in a French chateau I Yeah, I can't take pictures very well No, my my original plan here was if uh, perhaps I could sell the some sort of homeschooling material So it's like textbooks or two specs. So tell me what you want me to write and I'll write it That's so first of all ash is funny in the chat. She says I should start like a change my mind segment Like that's funny. But also, um, I don't know what vivian's quoting there, but why would anyone want to oh study business I read that wrong and I thought I said why would anyone want to start a business? And that's how I feel it's like What is all this motivation that I see when I look out at the business world and everyone's like hustling and making money And it's like, well, why are you guys also? Like mannish, you know, it's just because I lucked out and did never real job forever. I guess Yeah, why are you guys hustling your suckers? Why are you guys working hard? Why are you guys pursuing a vision? Why are you guys building a business and employing people? But you're not employing casey or at least giving him money. What's what's wrong with you suckers? Yeah, I am like that's right angle droid says I'm like an 18 year old without children or responsibilities It's true. It's uh, it's gonna slam me though at 43. It's gonna be tough Making the leap. Maybe I can get on like chronic You could they keep it right now. They're like extending unemployment You know, and then I can't like collect unemployment because I wasn't employed in the u.s. I was employed overseas So I didn't pay into unemployment insurance because I wasn't working in the United States Yeah, I mean, I just think like my dreams are like, why can't we start an honest business imagine that like I don't know like uh Like I don't know like like a like a calligraphy shop or something where it's just like this is we're teaching We teach people how to write calligraphy and stationery And fancy pens, you know, and like that's the business We don't lie to you and we charge what we charge in order to make it, you know make 40 grand a year. That's it like That wouldn't crush my soul, you know But I feel like you can't make money doing something like that See you have to be I think this is the problem, right? The people with money Are going to lose political control because they lost control of the ideological discourse because all they thought about was how much money Can I make next quarter? Right, they should have been thinking like the Maoist, right? It doesn't matter how much money we lose on sending out the little red books Right. Well But the people who are in charge don't think like that about our message right now, you know, I mean they think they might think Like that about the the rainbow flag but Eventually there has to be some sort of thermidorian reaction I mean Chat can you just type in I mean, maybe they won't they won't do this I guess because they're all like paranoid about being feds and getting docks and stuff But like what are some jobs, you know, like what is like a good example is vdr I can't understand how he like what he draws pictures It's his job I was on a show when you like not only the draw the comic books He like got like fundraiser to publish them and like you like just like $20,000 to write a comic book I don't know how it works people like giving money for that like I can't believe it. It's amazing That's a good idea there get an excavator and go do excavator jobs Like become like how am I going to get the capital for an excavator? I actually have I think I could I could probably pull to get well. I don't know how much are they my expensive Okay, maybe I'm crazy then I don't have enough for an expensive thing Maybe if I got a loan, but I'm trying to avoid taking debt, you know But uh, but yeah, like something like that might be okay might be okay You see like holly says get be a lawyer. There's no way dude. That's like the absolute anti me job I could never those jobs are also gone. There's the market is over saturated Either of us we get hired if we got a law degree with we have to take somebody would have to fire holly Yeah, even then like I couldn't do what holly does You know what I mean? Like I literally would have a breakdown because I'm that's what I'm saying is like when it comes like being able to work Like that is it's a kind of a muscle And it's a mental muscle, but it's like you have to be able to be like focused at discipline all day and stuff And I'm like I'm not can't do that anymore You know like I can do it. What's interesting is I can do it all I do Basically, you guys all I do every day is wake up and like study and read and type stuff and think about a video I'm gonna make It's just about stuff like I'm interested in I don't want to be obsessive about you know fake stuff Like that's crazy. Evola used to lock himself in the library for days on end reading I love so that Mussolini thought that he had magic powers See that's like dream dream life to me. He was a mage, right? It's something to think that we were sorcerers I'm trying to convince people. I am a sorcerer like a like I must you know Yeah, well, you be little tiny cantrip started up magic when you can cast a fireball Yeah, so Casey was a professor for about 10 years and prior to that he was doing a phd So he's been in grad school or teaching for about 15 years his politics have been right of center For most of his adult life When you call lightning down from the sky I'm on your enemies Yeah, it's I mean right now I'm getting like I now it's like, you know with the little tiny sparkles. Come on magic missile. Come on You know, it's funny about all this. I'm like at zero level The funny thing about all this is like when I was growing up, uh My dad was a very like kind of mid-century guy where like work hard, you know Meritocracy guy and like and I I understood that when I was young because I was like, okay Yeah, like I get it But then by the time I was in college like I started to realize wait, that's not actually what's going on Like the people who just grind it out end up as like day laborers and it's not He must be so proud now. Must be so proud. They're not actually rewarded The people who get rewarded seem to be doing the fake stuff, you know So it's like in the back of my mind. I had this idea of being ready Like for example, I worked really hard when I played sports growing up Like I dedicated myself to it, you know, it was important to me and I tried hard and you know Was rewarded sort of it would ever but like that doesn't seem to be the world anymore But you're kind of just a sucker if you're working hard at this point, which I mean that's bad But that does seem to be the case. It's like there's this I don't know about you guys, but sometimes I actually do work hard, but I'm just a sucker And he do you work hard because if you work hard, you're just a sucker And you're a fraud and a liar weird kind of Uh, like I don't know like don't you feel like kind of the elite class just sit around all they kind of like Fiddling with their computers. I don't know what they do I've never been anything other than basically intellectual proletariat And even then before that I was just proletariat working in a lump in proletariat working in the coffee shop So, I mean, I just I kind of feel like I suppose it has some social cachet, you know to be a Lecturer at a big name research university in Africa But I'm still making $700 a month which by American standards means I was below the merchants who are below the peasants. Yeah Well, I just realized when I got out of teaching that like There's like basically the whole time I was teaching I was Like I was making money for the the um hierarchy like, you know the basically like the machine Yeah, and so like I don't want to work for someone else to make the profit off of me That's so stupid. You know, so I would rather just try to like start Okay, if you don't want anyone else to make a profit off of you Then you're just saying nobody should hire me because the only reason anyone's gonna hire you is to make a profit off of you A business of some sort, but again It's really difficult because it seems like no matter what your business is It's this yeah life is difficult learning a living is difficult supporting a family is difficult being a man is difficult Race to the bottom thing like I remember last year. I looked into doing like one of those Like amazon or you like buy stuff from Alibaba and start a store on amazon and kind of sell it marked up slightly or something Oh, yes, just buy the apple for for 10 cents and sell it to somebody for 15 cents Yeah, but the problem with it is that even that is this like hyper competitive field with under bidders Like always Don't have to To pay, you know the same cost for living and so it's just terrible Like that's not a way to make a living like that's so humiliating and like not sustainable and you know But that's that seems like that's what jobs are now, you know Be that the what do they call it the headquarters in Africa the women who well hundreds of orthodox jews have found a way to make a living and maintain their observance of orthodox Judaism by selling being a sub-seller on amazon and and Thousands I guess if you include ebay So tens of thousands of people are making a living this way and supporting their families and paying for health insurance To carry your goods on their head and walk in the middle of the street to sell the people in the public transportation A little bags of water and the pieces of fruit and whatnot. Yeah, that's like uh pretty desperate It's low low on uh overhead though. You don't have to invest a lot to be able to start it, but it's uh And the chat says this guy's pathetic You need to do more than spending 10 minutes browsing youtube videos for get rich quick schemes Being a chump dilettante is an unsustainable occupation. This is truly pathetic life is suffering Yeah, the drop shipping bad 72 000 follower richard spencer lives in his mom's basement just like nick wentes These are the alt-right leaders. No wonder we lost the election says art I don't think anybody ever gets rich that way Well, uh, who's doing the after show tonight I don't know I thought zed was on why don't we have zed come on and like because uh, she wanted to hear our Half-baked ideas on how we were gonna ever make any money before she used some actual real advice on how to do it But I mean zed is like married to peter feel and this was like my tryout and the tryout went like this Where I just talked for an hour about how we probably didn't do very well on the interview And holly says in the chat. I'm increasingly thankful for having been born poor Made me hungry and though I've made many mistakes and doing pretty well Then I don't know it just seems crazy that like you can't like like, you know in my last episode Which you should all go like and watch and comment on I did I told the story about my my diami says uncle guy And just to underline that that guy Is now like probably 70, you know, so he's retired so it doesn't matter really but I'm still running around the lake naked He would be if you could he's kind of I think the wine caught up to him or something But um, he I'll just give you like a rough sketch of his life And I'll change some of the details but he basically grew up in the midwest and went to like, you know Northern Indiana State University or whatever and got a business degree and graduated in like 1970 about two And his story to me was always in 1972 like just a flat nothing undergrad degree from northern indiana That's not a real college course But like whatever would get you a job like you could basically write your own ticket Like it was like they were hiring people like crazy And so he got some job like selling beer or something and making like ton of money Like the equivalent of six figures, you know And he would just hop from that job to another one selling rvs or something for 150 and like in the 80s, you know, he said you could not not make six figures Like it was just just be a salesman just call people sell them and like he was a bullshitter You know what I mean like in the old classic like kind of And he thought it was this great living like he loved doing it He would kick his feet up on the chair at work and call people And get him to spend a hundred thousand bucks on an RV, you know The point is like somehow It like he was just a frat bro He was just a he's just a fast-talking guy who would never say no to a line of coke, you know like and like That's that guy should be able to make six figures Yeah, life is tough Art Bell says this is very twitchy thought-like pretty woman plot Maybe some rich viewer will adopt me any day now Someone who doesn't care at all about my looks and my age poverty really is the best motivator Any chance of a look forward kevin michael grace reunion tour? I've invited kevin on shows half a dozen times and it doesn't seem like something that he's Interested in doing And like, you know not have to lie just like just I mean it's lying I guess it's lying in a way to be like you need this RV, but you know Like I'll do that I'll sell RVs if I can make a hundred grand, but you can't anymore that job is gone They'll be biased give me a hundred thousand dollars. I'll write three textbooks And then you can have all the right to the three textbooks and sell them for billions of dollars It's like the paradox of it is that like I kind of do understand How to be a salesman, but yeah, I don't want to understand to me It's a different type of magic to me. It's like necromancy black magic. It literally is the Yeah, it's dark art beyond my capability of understanding How can somebody take something and put no labor into it and get a higher price for it? Right if the apple is worth 10 cents is worth 10 cents. How does it you can sell for 15 cents? Even though you've done nothing to make the apple better That's witchcraft Let me tell you my last idea for a job Okay, basically there are places in america still where you can buy like out by vdr. You can buy like 10 acres for Like 30,000 bucks or something. So we're gonna grow marijuana Well, but we've now to the marijuana to make it flourish. That's what we're gonna do We're gonna start to do a Kickstarter and say I think anybody can play with these things And the chat says on average every multimillionaire has been bankrupt four times before hitting it rich Now, who do you think watches more tv like millionaires or people earning less than $50,000 a year people who earn a million dollars a year Usually working pretty darn hard Luke Ford has found two new romantic richard spencer types Richard Spencer says he's pushing for new pan european neofalcy and nichin schmitty and napoleonic anti liberalism anti-atlanticist new wave apollonianism Dionysian imperium Richard says the minister lewis farrakhan used to be his neighbor when he lived in chicago What we say is we are going to build the biggest pyramid the world has ever seen and The way that we're going to do it is this is going to be like a destination Okay, like we're going to own the 10 acres and I'm going to put like 10 kind of like dormitories around its perimeter Okay, and in the middle of that we're going to build the giant pyramid And the thing is it's basically like a new form of exercise like a like an exercise retreat and the exercise is hauling huge pieces of marble In the shape of pyramid and I feel like People are going to want to participate in building the giant pyramid and realize they can get fit doing it And maybe my dorms will be fun and people like we'll come like, you know, it'll be like The tower of babel helpline Marijuana was better both. I mean in both, you know, we can do both actually I literally free free mason's like It's free like free with a you know, they have to pay, I don't know 500 dollars a week and you can move as many stones As you want y'all even teach you to carve them. We get like the triners a literal multi-level marketing scheme Where like the level Yeah, I don't know Then there's like selling drugs. There's things like hacking or figuring out how to run like Piratical scams, which you know, I would do but I feel like I would just get caught and that wouldn't be worth it. So I don't know man. Yeah, well, I don't know either Uh No, I mean, uh Somebody just hire me. I guarantee you I can undercut anybody else with my TV. Do you think there's like it like Are we are we like off the track? Is there something wrong with like is this are we like did we fail to grow up Or something that's what I did Yeah Like you got too much personality. No one cares like who cares. Yeah, like what are your skills like, uh, you know Just show up. You just got to show up from eight to five and stuff and it's like Like is that that's like that's what people that's how people are living. They're they're just showing up from eight to five It's like you might as well. Seriously. Just like I don't know. That's like that's not living, you know I don't know Is that what people are doing press one in the chat if you're just shitting your life away Just totally just making a mockery of yourself from eight to five five days a week. Did that's how you're living? Ah Become really healthy and then just become like one of those pseudo doctors Did he freeze or did I freeze? Uh, I'm up here. Okay. Um, well No, I think the mistake is uh, I bought the bullshit about merit and Instead of trying to do anything with merit I should have just been trying to get networks of people who could Hook me into how you can sell an apple for five cents more Without putting any work into making the apple better and I failed to do that. Yeah Yeah, it's uh, it's I guess I don't know man. I guess we're gonna have to do it eventually. I'm like, I am and I'll tell you this I am in the mode where like I will not miss. I will be collecting the unemployment until they like force me off You know, like I'm I I'm willing to play the state, you know at at that at least What do you think about truck driving? Like why can't I truck drive? Suppose you could It doesn't sound that bad. I mean actually like you can kind of Hop in the big rig drive to california and then fly back once a week, you know They give you like Three thousand bucks. I've heard or sometimes sometimes two thousand bucks And then do it three weeks a month. I mean you could be rich really It's like you can make 70 grand a year driving a truck Yeah, and like not have to you know, you don't have to uh Lie very much, you know, I'm sure you have to like walk into like, you know, whatever. I don't I'm not sure how that works Yeah, like basically listen to podcasts and just drive, you know drink a bunch of caffeine Probably I don't know maybe get fat, but I think I could do it without getting fat Like if I did it as kind of like or maybe become pinched with a lot losers That's a good idea. Holly that might make us more money. What about like, uh, but seriously, what about, um, owning like seems like there would be a way to own some land and Like make something of it. Just something easy like like a what did vdr told me to start like a No, like one of those places where the RV is pulling like a camper zone, you know Oh, yeah Like just an RV park You just have to hook up the um outdoor bathroom and like and whatever else and then that's it so and then I've even thought like You know what I have thought like I would drive one of those uh amazon trucks or whatever all day Or just like be a just mailman or something. That's not the worst But then I don't understand how these people like what if you have to pee or take a shit while you're like Out in one of these amazon vans. What do people do? I don't know. I don't know how to drive. I've never learned to drive. I know that's not for the car That part of it seems that I don't understand how these people just drive around and it's like I mean, I guess they must have to like just deviate from their route and go find a gas station or something Because that must be the trick, but I guess so. Yeah, it seems actually wear diapers I don't like the idea. It's like I feel like as a human I like it shouldn't be that hard to go to the bathroom. You know what I mean? Like that's what we've made that's what capitalism has made is like Your job all day is to like drive these packages around and like get deep into these these suburbs Maybe we could like uh, you feel like you know set up little chemical toilets for these uh everywhere for these drivers That's why I think like India is going to be America's future and I'm basically for it because at some point it's like Can't we I mean I'm ready like just I can't even pee around the side of the building You know what I mean? Like or just in the bushes or something. I have to put a mask on now and go into a store It's like a crazy thing Maybe we can sell chemical toilets for these people Well, I'm trying to think or like Made a fortune. Well that had to the fortune back in the six early sixties like a million dollars selling chemical toilets to construction sites in San Diego Have you ever thought of uh, like some sort of what do they call it a 501c3 or something The the non-profit non-profit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I am a non-profit. Give me some money Like yeah, and I was thinking a good one like the thing like seriously we could do sort of I don't know like some kind of education related non-profit, you know or Somewhat more of a pipe dream, but I have I've mentioned before on streams that like I think that a ripe one of these is to do zero interest lending and Do it for like Christians only like the the you know intra Christian zero interest lending program And then your job is like go to banks and or not banks go to um churches and like explain to them Look, this is a holy mission, you know, and uh, and like I actually believe in it I think and we're just gonna help you organize it like that would be that's the business Wouldn't that be a good idea? I don't know how to do it Yeah Again, uh, I can like produce certain things. I'm not real good with the Distribution and selling part. This is the where where I fall down big I don't know man Do they wait for home loans? Do they do that? Who said that their angle? Is that true? I feel like I mean it would be I've always thought like and I think college loans are very low Aren't they they're down to like 0.9% or something but like I think home loans are still 3% APR so it's like It would be I think it would be a cool thing for churches to lend the money to their young parishioners to buy homes and stuff And then that would make the parishioners feel a debt of obligation to church Look nobody's gonna buy written pornography when they get like videos of it for free like unlimited on the internet So yeah the yaki solution which was a solution for many writers all the way up into the 1980s is long than dead What's a junk caller that sounds okay like call away garbage like people think people throwing out You gotta have a place to haul it too Let's think let's keep thinking right now. I'm in that mood where I could kind of just spit well Ash says be a private investigator. I don't know. I don't know if that seems too hard to like learn and deal with all that Um, I don't know it would be that hard, but the licensing has gotta be pretty strict real estate sounds Like maybe okay. I don't think it's as easy as butterfly makes it sound to like get into a set Like I feel like everyone already has a claim like the big agents already have their talents in the million dollar homes though So it's I don't know I did hear there's a new industry called um uh things called Curriculum design or something like this and it's basically to help like corporate seminars happen Where you you're you're basically the guy who sets up like the zoom meeting who makes sure everybody can hear And who like has the syllabus together You're kind of like the host of the the these online meetings or something and I feel like I could almost do that um Although I don't know like even that would make me nervous because it's like, you know Like I've tried these chats before and then I screw up the sound or something and imagine everybody getting mad at you I I I'm not even sure Where you would look to find the applications of the average for that type of job I mean, I know where all the academic ones were but I mean, this is the problem is of course There's like 600 people flying for every opening Yeah And uh, holly says that she's never been without a job for more than a day or two If you're hungry, you'll find a job never been without a job since age 12 says holly And holly says my nephew has an online degree in Computers he flies all over the world making money fixing slot machines and the like well It requires an attitude that you want to be of service to other people Yeah, I don't know I need to I don't don't have any any network All right, man. I all right you leaving. I'll catch you later. It's been good talking but like Now I feel like now all of a sudden now I'm getting depressed like okay, fuck. I'm really gonna have to get a job It's not funny anymore So I don't want to do that part on stream No, thanks for having me on auto no problem. See you buddy. All right job You gone look like okay good good stream guys Let's take things out on a high note
