 G'day, May 40 here. Just got off the plane here in Sydney and It's kind of interesting going through customs and not being treated like a suspect not being treated like the enemy That's the wonderful thing about returning to a coherent cohesive country like Australia that As a citizen, you're not automatically treated with suspicion like you're the enemy by your government Australians by and large think that the the government's on their side Kind of a nice thing So we're here at Koojee Beach So plane arrived about 7 30 this morning Made my way through customs in about half an hour perfectly pleasant experience They rode public transport rode the bus here at Koojee and Did you know that even white people are able to drive buses? I from my experience in America I thought only black brown and Asian people Were able to drive buses, but apparently even white people are capable of driving a bus Here in Australia and they're capable of working for the government and working in customs Welcome to Koojee mate. What a beautiful suburb here on Sydney's East Eastern shores So after I got settled put my stuff away had two protein bars got down to the beach Just needed to unwind And read the New York Times Just makes me feel relaxed. What am I doing back in Australia, mate? I like to spend my winters back in in Sydney With all the posh people right some some posh people like to spend their their winters in Palm Springs, but I Just like to spend my winters in in Sydney So I'd like to get over here for two or three months every year Share the gospel of ethical monotheism Do some outreach Be an amiss area for the Rebbe. It's a tough life, but someone's got to live it Stochastic terrorism have you heard about stochastic terrorism before? Like I just think I just heard about it In the past week, I mean Tucker was making fun of it Tucker Carlson was making fun of it and then on the front page of the New York Times had a columnist The big article on stochastic terrorism So did you know that the attack on Paul Pelosi is reviving a conversation? You can't work remotely. Yes, I can work remotely. I have internet access Right, I can teach Alexander technique remotely. I Can write I can edit I can research for people Perfectly capable of working remotely down under If the worst comes the worst, I'll end up in my brother's nursery Logging bags of concrete around Nothing like moving a couple of a couple of tons of concrete to get the blood flowing so stochastic terrorism that is terrorism by Random disturbed individuals, but who are being activated or set off or stimulated by Demonic language All right, so apparently even though both sides can demonize the other it's overwhelming Lee Overwhelmingly something that Republicans do to Democrats. Can I express my vulnerabilities as a jointly over there now? It's much more repression here in Australia All right It's much less of a me first Let me be open with my emotions much more Repression, so yeah, Australia is being changed by its immigrant population But Australia is simultaneously changing its immigrant population making them more Waspy or white English accent Protestant a little more reserved So it's like as I get off the bus I'll get off the plane Go through the airport get on the bus ride public transport looking at look at people walking down the street I don't see You know the vivid emotional display that I see more often in America So Australians tend to be a little more muted in their emotions So it's still kind of a less enthusiastic society than America Less about being open with your emotions, but very into physical fitness So it is It's about 11 a.m. Here on a Friday So stochastic terrorism New York Times says this is primarily Primarily a result of Republican rhetoric demonizing their opponents Republicans are much more likely to demonize their opponents than Democrats well as Republicans are much more likely to believe in demons Republicans much more likely to believe in the supernatural Is Republicans are much more likely to believe in the transcendent to believe in God to believe in religion Then yeah, I think they're more likely to use demonic language Right a Republican is more likely to be medieval or pre-modern So liberals very modern they believe in the strategic autonomous rational buffered self and People who are not liberal much more likely to hold traditional views where our souls are porous We're affected by what's going on around us. We are what you're doing. It's gonna affect me But we're much more skeptical of human nature. We don't believe that people just inherently oriented towards The good and the right That's people on the left think that human nature tends towards the good People on the right tend to have much more skeptical views of human nature and We're much more skeptical of the power of human reason on the right. We think that people are going to misuse their reason to do the things that they want to do and then they simply get it to justify it using fancy rhetoric and fancy No rational arguments, right? We often use rational arguments to Make the case for doing what we just emotionally feel driven to do so Yeah, I bet Republicans are more likely to demonize their opponents just as People who believe that you can choose your sex Right, they're more likely to believe in transgender language and that orientation So yeah, your worldview is going to affect the language that you use In the final analysis people don't get murdered because of rhetoric because of language People get murdered because of conflicts of interest, right? group conflicts of interest or what What drive Group conflicts that turn deadly So great news guys checking out the New York Times today Says that Republicans are trying to stoke fear over crime while the data is mixed So according to the New York Times people have this vastly exaggerated fear of increases in crime and The data just don't support it. So all these people think the crime is getting worse and worse, but come on guys You got to listen to the data All right Gotta listen to the data and the New York Times will give you the data It's like yeah, that murder rates are up 40% since May of 2020, but heck that's just because of COVID right, it's not because of The anti-police reaction driven by our elites in the media and academia and politics mainly on the left side of the political spectrum Which discourage police from doing their job? but that's not the reason why we have this massive upsurge in homicide and Grievous bodily harm assaults and other crimes also Many police departments are becoming much less rigorous about tracking crime people have less incentive To make crime reports because the police are now Experiencing less incentives to track down crime. So when the police have less incentives to report crime And the police have less incentives to do their job and when people have less fewer incentives to report a crime Yeah, you're gonna have a decrease in many reports of crime. So who you gonna believe? The data or your lying eyes now there are areas where the data tends to be very accurate That's when it comes to dead bodies because industrialized nations first world nations. They tend to Take take death pretty seriously All right, so When it comes to murder that's where you get the most Most accurate crime statistics Pretty much every other crime aside for a murder is much less accurate but it's kind of amusing to see all these Stories in the New York Times other elite media about how people are overreacting to the crime problem the Republicans are just seizing on it to try to win elections, but it's not it's not rooted in data guys All right, you're growing concern about crime. It's not rooted in data. I see crimes every day. I'm a white man I'm not getting involved in that kind of thing. I don't want to even give the appearance of impropriety okay, so I was hanging out at the airport. I just made this trip on the spare of a moment. So Wednesday morning Said ah, I want to go to Australia for a few months. So I booked a flight took off Wednesday night at 1030 when I was sitting in the airport at LAX started talking to this Australian couple here from Sydney and they were visiting a child in Los Angeles and When they were fueling up their car one of the more diverse Beautiful parts of South Central East LA They saw a man just assorting a woman. They just punching punching punching punching her and They froze because they'd been told don't interfere. See if that took place in Australia people would step up They would interfere. So you may think oh Australia's got these low crime rates. That's wonderful but it comes with tremendous amounts of repression and it comes with People getting much more involved comes with you know higher social trust higher social cohesion But then people make more demands on each other So you start building a woman here in Australia and people will talk to you about it People will say no you can't do that People would be much more likely to call the police But this couple said they went inside the gas station said hey, there's this man assorting a woman and The Latino gas station tended just didn't want to do anything. He says it's best not to get involved So all these people were watching a man Repeatedly punch a woman very hard and they just didn't want to do anything about it I just didn't want to get involved, right? They'd be in educated. You don't get involved So in Australia people are much more likely to get involved they'll call the police and And they'll make demands on each other say hey, mate, that's not right. You can't kind of tackle woman like that So the high trust high cohesion country Right comes with a price in China. They don't get involved either They just stand by and watch because if you get involved you have a risk of liability Same US blaming the uninvolved would surprise me as the next step of the clown world But why do people Stop getting involved Because It's too dangerous, right? You change the incentives you change the level of social trust and social cohesion How much people get get involved? so we can We can decide our crime rates we can decide our wage rates by limiting immigration and By how much we lock up people who do horrible things We lock up super predators the 1% of the population that does much of the crime then You have much lower crime rates All right, if you limit immigration So that you can still form a socially cohesive society, you know higher wage rates and Have more social trust lower rates of crime But then that comes with a price people will make more Ask you for more I'll ask you to report crime. They'll ask you to step up They might even want to drink from your garden hose when they're thirsty You can drink from someone's garden hose when you're thirsty in Australia without being afraid of Getting shot So yeah, Sydney one of the safer cities in the world though crime rates high social trust high social provision But think about the tremendous price to be paid in terms of repression right so There's virtually no public masturbation here in Australia You don't see human feces smeared all over the sidewalks All right, you just don't see the graffiti don't see the mariachi bands So Think about what you give up. Yeah, you have lower rates of crime But you have much higher rates of repression think about all the great graffiti artistry and feces artistry That we're losing Here in Australia because of you know high rates of Anglo-Saxon repression And also people are a little more restrained here in Australia All right, they're not as me first They're not as self-expressive They're not I just got to follow my bliss. I just got to do my own thing People Much more concerned about their mates Much more concerned about their relationships with other people much more concerned about their connections much more Concerned about their standing in society kind of a less of a me first society Not nearly as many fair jumpers like got on the bus and Quite different from riding the bus in LA, New York City, Washington DC, Chicago Apparently there are privileged groups of people who don't have to pay the fare but There aren't there aren't apparently a whole groups of people marked out by the will of heaven here in Australia Don't feel obliged to pay the fare. Almost everybody seems to pay the fare and They can even leave baggies out for people to pick up after their dogs Because the baggies don't get stolen You can have nice things like look out at this park. There's no trash There's no graffiti Have these beautiful public spaces clean public restrooms clean beaches It's safe. You can go anywhere in Sydney any time. They don't have to fear for your life But it comes with a price of repression Also the kids here wear public uniforms school uniforms So I think I think that discipline also creates social cohesion. Like if you just march with people Then that feels a bond you create a bond if you just simply march with people The people in Australia coming on my accent. Yeah, they say it doesn't Doesn't sound American, but it doesn't sound Australian either. It's kind of in between The being back in Aussie gets my Aussie accent It's not to rev up again So there aren't bad parts of town in Sydney, right? So in Los Angeles, they're bad parts of town, but there aren't They're burned out parts of town like the Bronx or how the Bronx used to be so in every part of Los Angeles You have nice cities But you still have some very dangerous areas still comparatively Los Angeles has low rates of murder compared to Chicago New York City Washington DC And some other cities So the New York Times article on crime Said it's related to poverty But there's another variable that seems to be like one group where the higher the percentage of the population is this one group Then the more likely you are to have violent crime far more accurate predictor than Poverty but for some reason the New York Times doesn't want to name the group. I'm missing LA diversity I got to be honest. We don't we don't have the talented 10th here Disrupting the public square making us rethink our white privilege Where's the blaring mariachi music? Creative acts of graffiti and masturbation and feces smearing Get on public transport and it smells nice smells just fine Infrastructure smells fine pox of clean Kind of kind of miss the the edge of the big city Graffissies, yeah That's what you give up when you have low crime higher repression You give up all that free smearing Missing the adrenaline rush from almost getting robbed or killed in a by diverse cultured youth Yeah, it's so much more exciting bro, but Australia still Still sends many of its most ambitious young people to America if you want to be a great architect Great movie director great actor a great musician People still come to America to make it Yeah, just so calm here in Australia So I still see people with masks particularly in the airport and on public transport mainly Asians but seemed like about a third of the people on public transport and In the airport wearing masks on the flight. Yeah about a third third to a half of the flight still wearing masks But it seems like Asians more likely to wear masks than whites whites more likely to wear masks than some other people's Seems to correlate with the driving and crime rates generally so Asians East Asians can have about the lowest crime rates they tend to conduct themselves more carefully with academics with career with earning with family formation with the sexual choices and Part of their being careful Is much more likely to wear a mask I would move to Sydney if I could afford to live in nice white area Of course live in small town north-south Wales, but it's almost 100% white Australia is still about 85% white and about 15% Asian and about 5.5% Aborigine so I'm going to be cancelling a lot of my subscriptions like to YouTube TV to Get an NFL red zone Paramount plus Because they're no good over here. So KO sports I think last time is here for like $27 a month. I could get all the sports I want the World Cup is starting up in two weeks So We get KO sports $27 a month all the live streaming sports that I want or need And also many of the best ESPN plus documentaries around there as well some of their own original docos So just to the left me is the beautiful Kujie to Bandai walk I'm looking forward to doing that Just gorgeous walk along the coast About five miles or so. Bye. Bye
