1 00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: Cody. It's part two of this latest journey into the 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: world of Jordan Peterson. But first let's talk about that 3 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 1: Mighty Mighty Boss released in twenty twenty two about the 4 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 1: murder of George Floyd and then the protests that followed. 5 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 1: I can't believe you were not aware of this. I 6 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: had no I had no idea. Um, it is stunning, 7 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,520 Speaker 1: it is I mean, just the fact that it exists 8 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: is just so beautiful and funny. Yeah, the fact that 9 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 1: I think we can say the Mighty Mighty Boss Tones 10 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,200 Speaker 1: are the whitest band has ever been without being explicitly 11 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: a neo Nazi band, Like it can't it can't be 12 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: whiter than the Mighty They're like they're a goose step 13 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: and a shuffle away from Yeah, not that they're Nazis, 14 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: but but but that it does not get more Caucasian, 15 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: and it's I would say, if that is your if 16 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: you are the Mighty Mighty boss Tones watching the murder 17 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: of this man and the protests that gripped the nation, 18 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: perhaps the thing you should say is nothing like maybe 19 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: you know obviously like well we'll make a statement that 20 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: like we support the protests or this was terrible, but 21 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: you certainly shouldn't write an entire album about George Floyd. 22 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: That's just not a thing the world needs from the 23 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: Mighty Mighty Bostons just or even you know, yeah, you 24 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: know an album um that, if you like looked really hard, 25 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: you'd be like, is this about George Floyd May? Yeah. 26 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: Maybe if you're like you're doing a song, you know, 27 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: on your sky album about how the police are bad, 28 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: you could reference that. That would be fine. So it 29 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: has a long history of being anti authoritarian, you know, 30 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: you know, like if you know and then process some 31 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: proceeds to charity or something like that some cause. I 32 00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: don't know, but this is wild. Um. I listened to Uh. Also, 33 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: the song is called the Killing of Georgie, UM, which 34 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: I would say is not a great title. Um, it's 35 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 1: so weird. I listened to part three. I haven't I 36 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: can't find part one or two anywhere and I'm not 37 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: buying that album. Um. Even some of these lyrics George 38 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: Georgie please stay they took your breath away? Yeah? What 39 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: the That is an insane thing to write? That? Is that? That? 40 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: Because because again the Mighty Mighty bost Tones a lot 41 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: of musicians to band a bunch of people were in 42 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: a room when they handed those lyrics out, and all 43 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 1: of them had to be like, Yes, this is a 44 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: song we're all going to take part in. They're gonna 45 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: make it. They made it. They made that into a 46 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: music and they just let it happen to the world 47 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: and no one stopped them. And one assumes they did 48 00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:00,080 Speaker 1: that twelve times to get a whole album out of it. 49 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: Yeah is you know, well, so let's let's play a 50 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: clip from this song for the listeners at home. Give 51 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: the thirty seconds a tight thirty Yeah. I was gonna 52 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: say that the actual song just sounds like that one song. 53 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: They all mighty mighty Bosstone songs sound the same. They 54 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: don't have the ability to make multiple SKA sounds that 55 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 1: sound different. They're not real big fish. It even has 56 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: that scream that the guy does in that other song. 57 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 1: By the way, real big fish. You know how many 58 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: albums they wrote about George Floyd, Not a single one, 59 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: because real big Fish understands that's not what American needs. 60 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: They don't need real big Fish weighing in on this. 61 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: You know, God speed Real but Fish. Uh accredit to them. 62 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: But also I would probably answer none to any band 63 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: that you asked me about. Very There are very few 64 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: musicians whose specific take on this I need in the 65 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: form of an album, right you know, Five Iron Frenzy 66 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: Wonderful Ska band made a lot of statements about how 67 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: the police are Tara in social media. They didn't cut 68 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: an album an album about it because they knew. They knew, 69 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: we don't need that. Nobody needs that. At least at 70 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: least one of them knew. Maybe some of them were 71 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: on board and had the idea, but one of them 72 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: was like, you got to hit the chorus. You gotta 73 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 1: get it there, there we go, skip ahead, or no, 74 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: a little bit, give us some chorus. Yeah we can, 75 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: Here we go, there we go laughing. That's really Let 76 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: the bird go forth this time from this place. These 77 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: three okay, awful anymore. I listened to it back like 78 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: in twenties whenever it came out, and was like, this 79 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: is the worst thing I've ever heard. Um, it's it 80 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: is so it is the most cringe worthy thing. Like 81 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: I it's it's one of the worst things I've ever heard. 82 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: It's people so bad. Um even like not like I 83 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,239 Speaker 1: have listened to Cody, I have listened to an entire 84 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: discography of Blink one eight two covers turned into Nazi anthems. 85 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: Dozens of Johnson's I have like seventy of them on 86 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: my fucking hard drive, dozens of them, and it was bad, 87 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: but it didn't make me cringe like this just like yeah, 88 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: like every even if you ignore the fact that this 89 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: about George Floyd and they call him Georgie the entire time, 90 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: but did anyone call him Georgie? Was ever his fint 91 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: a nickname for a murder victim, and then make an 92 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: album about it? Also if like if you're doing like 93 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: if you need two syllables because like melodically you need 94 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: that's syllable. George Floyd is his name. Yeah, that's too 95 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: You got too right there, um, But maybe they wanted 96 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: it to be a little more you know, discreet, little 97 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: under the radar, like, oh, it's not definitely about George 98 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: Floyd when it clearly it is. But even if you 99 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: if you remove it from that, from the context of 100 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: what it's about, like it's so awkward, like we do 101 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: you hold do we hold these truths to be self evident? 102 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: It's like a child's song. It's like it's just his 103 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: schoolhouse rock like Cadence, which like, I'm sorry for insulting 104 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: schoolhouse Rock right now, I didn't mean schoolhouse rock. Those 105 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: songs generally worked. Many of them are stuck in my 106 00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: head periodically self evident like this, I'm I'm going to 107 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: pour back teen in my ears to try to get 108 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 1: this out of my brain once we finish the course. 109 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: So if you play it back listeners, the course is 110 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: literally just I've never had to knock on wood. It's 111 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: just that it's that's the only song they the exact 112 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: same tune um god by variations because of the uh 113 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: syllables and lyrics, the beautiful lyricism that they've introduced. Yes, 114 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: be the perfect art that is god. I can't this 115 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: is it's it's absolutely stunning, um that that this would 116 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: happen and that no one would stop it. Like morally, 117 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: if you, if you, if you are ever around and 118 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: your friends have a ska band and they attempt to 119 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: make an album about the murder of a black man 120 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: by the police, it is your moral responsibility to mace 121 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: them until they stop you. You have an ethical duty. 122 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: Or it's just like if you failed to do that, 123 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: it's the same as like watching someone get to death 124 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: in the street and refuse him to intervene anyway, Cody, 125 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: whatever it takes. This is Behind the Bastards, a show 126 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: about the mighty mighty Bosstones, History's greatest monsters. Do you 127 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: think Jordan Peterson has ever been able to enjoy a 128 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: ska song? Could you imagine him skanking? I can, um, 129 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: because I've seen him cry about a bluegrass band he 130 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: saw in Tennessee. Then I saw a video of him 131 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: dancing to it, um and it's actually it was good 132 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: like there was. They were a good band and like 133 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: a blue blue grass country ska yeah country, um like, 134 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: I got no issue with that kind of music. It 135 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: was a good band. They did a good job. But 136 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: I think that any like any music I think moves him, 137 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: which is you know, fine, the most human thing exactly. Um. 138 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 1: So I think I think he would scank it. I 139 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: think he would scank it. I think he could really. 140 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: I think he could really get down to you know, 141 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: that real big fish song beer. What if you rewrote 142 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 1: it to be about having a single sip of cider 143 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: and then not not sleeping for thirty days and then 144 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: saying you didn't sleep, Like, let's be clear, Well, this 145 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: has been nine minutes of Cody and Robert talking about 146 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: there are solid eleven people in our audience who were 147 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: waiting for this for years, and those eleven people having 148 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: the best day of their lives. Everyone else has deleted 149 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: us from their phones. You're welcome to those people, sorry 150 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: to everybody. Yeah, so, Cody, when we last left off 151 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: with Jordan Peterson in this episode, Jordy George, he was 152 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 1: talking about how women are incapable of looking at relationships 153 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: in anything other than like a cold, transactional way. Um. Now, 154 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: the next thing Peterson does in this episode is stick 155 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: his brains dick into the problem of mass shootings. Did 156 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 1: you like that sent It's Cody go about how I 157 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: wrote that sentence. I don't hate it. Did it take 158 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: your breath away? Oh? God, here's Jordan's. I think Warren 159 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: Ferrell wrote a book called The Boy Crisis. Told me 160 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: yesterday when I was talking to them, every single high 161 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: school shooter was fatherless. I mean, you know, that's a 162 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 1: small sample of people, but uh huh, society seems to be, 163 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: let's say, degenerating into a more and more woke direction. 164 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: Oh so, Cody, I'm not going to look up as 165 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: buddy Warren like I did his other friend, because the 166 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 1: claim that he's made there that mass shooters are always 167 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: fatherless is complete horseshit, And it's the easiest thing in 168 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: the world to dek he was gonna look at like, 169 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: and this is a thing that if you're if you're 170 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: a listener of this show, and you're like, I actually 171 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: like Jordan Peterson, I don't know what you're doing here, 172 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: but thanks for coming. Um. Anything he ever says, just 173 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: be like what it's always what sounds of the time, 174 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: it's at least a little wrong. Um, and this is 175 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: a lot wrong. Uh. Snopes has covered this, which makes 176 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: it very easy to debunk. There is a year's long 177 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: right wing media claim that mass shootings are committed by 178 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: fatherless children. This is to demonize single mothers. It's just 179 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: to demonize the fact that like the breakdown of the 180 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: family and not I don't know the fact that like, look, 181 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: i'm a I'm as pro gun as they get. But 182 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: it's the fact that any angry young person can purchase 183 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: whatever a gun do they want, even if they have 184 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: a history of domestic violence, with sixty percent of them 185 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: do if you want to look at the thing that 186 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,719 Speaker 1: actually most mass shooters have in common. Most of them 187 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: have a history of violence towards women. That doesn't stop 188 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: them from acquiring a firearm anyway. Yes, and police, Yes, um, 189 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: who killed twice as many people as mass shooters in 190 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: the United States. We should also know anyway, the point 191 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: of origin of this, like right wing sort of thing 192 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: that like this is the problem is single mothers and 193 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: not anything to do with guns or patriarchal violence or whatever. 194 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: The point of origin for this is an article in 195 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: The Federalist in two thousand fifteen, which was later picked 196 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 1: up to act as evidence for a Fox News column. 197 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: It did not claim. This Federalist article does not claim, 198 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: as Peterson does that every mass shooter is fatherless. Quote. 199 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: On CNN's list of the twenty seven deadliest mass shootings 200 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: in US history, seven of those shootings were committed by 201 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: young under thirty male Since two thousand five, of the seven, 202 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: only one Virginia Tech shooters young Hope who So I'm 203 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: not gonna try to pronounce the Virginia Tech shooter who 204 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: had been mentally unstable since childhood, was raised by his 205 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: biological father throughout childhood. Now, this is also extremely out 206 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: of date and wrong quote. For the purposes of this article, 207 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: we researched contemporaneous news reports to see if any of 208 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: the shooters originally listed in CNNs twenty seven deadliest mass 209 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: shootings in US history grew up in households without a father. 210 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: We found with a father. We found that several of 211 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,719 Speaker 1: them did. The Virginia Tech shooter, who killed thirty two 212 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: people in Virginia Tech into thus and seven, was raised 213 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: by both the father and a mother. So was George Hennard, 214 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: who killed twenty three people in Colleen, Texas in nineteen one. 215 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: Charles Whitman, who killed seventeen people at the University of 216 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: Texas at Austin in nineteen sixties, six, Nadal Malikasan, who 217 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: fatally shot thirteen people in four hood in two thousand nine, 218 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: Jaffery Wong who killed thirteen and two thousand nine in Binghamton, 219 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: New York. And Aaron Alexis, who fatally shot twelve people 220 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 1: at the Washington Navy Yard in two thousand and thirteen. 221 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: James Huberty, who killed twenty one people at McDonald's in 222 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: the Sandy Cedro neighborhood of San Diego, California, was made 223 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: by a single father. And later a father and a 224 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: stepmother after his biological mother, a band of the family. 225 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,959 Speaker 1: So again these are not And by the way, this 226 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: is not a comprehensive list of all of the mass 227 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: shooters parents. Many of them have. It is complete horseship 228 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: to say that they do not have, Like mass shooters 229 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 1: aren't tend to be fatherless, that's nonsense. Yes, so Jordan's 230 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,719 Speaker 1: doesn't have an editor for content here. Again, he's just 231 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: kind of talking in a nice room. So he starts 232 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: off on a rant next about how woke universities are 233 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: and and he winds up repeating at length his arguments 234 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 1: from episode one about not saying anything you don't a 235 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,079 Speaker 1: percent believe, and again because there's no editor here and 236 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: no one can tell him, hey, Jordan, you win over 237 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: all this already. Um, And so for the next couple 238 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 1: of minutes he's just kind of describing things people do 239 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 1: without explaining anything of meaning. It's it's like weirdly pointless. 240 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: And here's an example. Everybody gets rejected at the time. 241 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: You only have to succeed once and then maybe you're 242 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: not good at interviews, and and maybe you try hard 243 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: and you don't find another job and not sucks because 244 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: he actually tried hard and you failed. And so often 245 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: people pull their punches so that if they failed, they 246 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: can always say, well, I didn't really try that hard. Yeah, 247 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: it's just like okay. He does a very stream of consciousness. Yeah, 248 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: it's very strecer consciousness. But also it's like, yeah, that's true. 249 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: It's like there's like he's got it sucks when you 250 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: don't get a job that you interview for. Absolutely Jordan's 251 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: he doesn't. That's why I think part of why is 252 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: so effective and uh connective for some people, um and 253 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: why a lot of his critics will often be like, 254 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: but he's a good at this and good at this 255 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: because he'll say like really basic almost but now like 256 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: like therapist stuff. Yea, like this idea of like, yeah, 257 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: sometimes people pull their punches so that like when they fail, 258 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: they can say like, oh, I don't really try very hard, 259 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: so it's fine, that's the thing people do. He's absolutely correct, 260 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: but like what I do that often exactly, but like okay, 261 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: and so you can go on like this, Yeah, this 262 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: episode is a mix of like these things. He's just 263 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: kind of like laying out things that happen in the 264 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: world and then he's mixing it in with these like 265 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: factual statements that are always wrong that he half remembers 266 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: from friends of his, all of who are right ring 267 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: propagandists like set in articles they work for, wrote for 268 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: Quilette or Heritage or whatever. And as the episode goes on, 269 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: he makes repeated reference to his private clinical practice as 270 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: a therapist, talking about how he laborously helped people rebuild 271 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: their lives or fixing tractable mental health problems. And this 272 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: is where things get really messed up. Lots of people 273 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: would come into my office and they're terrified to be there. 274 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: They didn't want to be there. It took them like 275 00:15:58,400 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: two years to get up the courage to go to 276 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: a therapist. And so part of my job was to 277 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: make them as comfortable as I possibly could instantly. And 278 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: a huge part of that was paying attention to them 279 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: and not to me. And you can get really good 280 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: at that. Sorry, brave, brave, do you be about them 281 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: and not you? Jordan? What are you talking about? Yeah, 282 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: nobody goes to a therapist to learn about the therapist. 283 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: I just want to get a therapist to pay a 284 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty bucks a session so I can get 285 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: to know. Ah, dude, we're gonna get into what he's 286 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: talking about, Cody, But first, you know, what is the 287 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: only real kind of therapy spending money? Yeah? Well it is. 288 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: It is in fact, Scott, Look, you go to a 289 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: fucking street Light Manifesto concert and tell me that you 290 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: didn't just have a religious experience. I will, I dare 291 00:16:53,280 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: you to, Cody, They're accepted. Uh, okay, so we're back. 292 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: Jordan Peterson has just talked about how you he became 293 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: friends and get gets all of his patients to trust him, 294 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: right about how like that's a real struggle as a 295 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: therapist getting these people to trust them, about how good 296 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: he is at it um And the fact that he's 297 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: talking about like how important was to gain the trust 298 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: of these troubled people who came to him looking for 299 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,679 Speaker 1: mental health advice. Um, that made me want to look up, 300 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 1: like what happened with his actual patients because he's no 301 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: longer in clinical practice And I kind of thought maybe 302 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: there's a story there, And boy, howdy I came across, Yeah, 303 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 1: I came across an article in the magazine Canada Land 304 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: about the end of Jordan Peterson's clinical practice. Now this 305 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: occurred as he became a media figure, and he went 306 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: from obscure academic to wealthy celebrity. And one of the 307 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: first things Jordan did when this happened is abandoned the 308 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: patients that he had built a rapport with. Quote shortly 309 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: before Peterson decided he couldn't both be a media personnality 310 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: and a practicing psychologist at the same time. He canceled 311 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: sessions with patients, later claiming illness while maintaining an appointment 312 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: to appear on television. He responded to messages from patients 313 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 1: with auto reply emails, which brought up the challenges of 314 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 1: his burgeoning fame, directing recipients to send argumentative emails to 315 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: his ideological opponents. He employed his wife to sort through 316 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: emails from patients without first asking for their consent. He 317 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: shared potentially identifying information about patients with other patients. That's 318 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 1: really bad, that's horrible, that's deeply unethical and kind of evil, 319 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: not just yeah, that's really evil and selfish and cruel, 320 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: um deeply like potentially potentially something that could even have 321 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: a body count. Because being a therapist is a thing, 322 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,919 Speaker 1: Like a number of people who are attending therapy are 323 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: doing it because suicide is a thing they consider regularly. 324 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: And if they let you in and trust you and 325 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 1: then you like both abandoned them because you get famous 326 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: and also tell them, hey, send the emails harassing people 327 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: I don't like, Like yeah, so okay, yeah, okay, like, yeah, 328 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 1: you're trusting this person and they cancel and then you 329 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 1: see them on TV. That's fucked up? What like, could 330 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: you repeat the part about the emails to his opponents, 331 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: like this long list of just like direct recipients to 332 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: send argumentative emails to his ideological opponents. So wait, so 333 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: you emailed his patients to Yeah, yeah, this was I 334 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: think this is the thing. And let me let me 335 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 1: pull up the art. It's been a while since I 336 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 1: read it. Let me pull up the article again and 337 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: find that's just so many for you. What the funk 338 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: is wrong with this guy? Well, I think we know 339 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: what's wrong with sucking narcissists who wanted money. Yeah, that 340 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: is like, that's all I wish I had found this 341 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: article when you and I were doing the Peterson episodes 342 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: that we did, because this is legitimately like the worst 343 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: thing I've heard about him. That's all you need to 344 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 1: know about him, Like, yeah, that's oh my god. All right. Well, 345 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: so basically this article, a lot of it focuses on 346 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: one of his patients, Samantha, who like he cancels an 347 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: appointment with her saying that he's sick, and then he 348 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: shows up on TV the next night. This is like, 349 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: right when all that stuff breaks with that Canadian like 350 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: change to hate laws and stuff. Um quote. When Samantha 351 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: responded to an email that offered new dates to meet, 352 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 1: she received what appeared to be an auto reply aimed 353 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: at his growing number of supporters, attempting to mobilize a 354 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: letter writing campaign, and his battle against political correctness at 355 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: the university. Hi, thank you for writing. At the moment, 356 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: I am unable to keep up with my email correspondents, 357 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: although I will try at some point in the future 358 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: to respond personally. If you are emailing me about current 359 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: PC related issues, you should consider sending your comments to 360 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: the following individuals. Remember that the only way that any 361 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,439 Speaker 1: of this can be straightened out is through carefully articulated 362 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: in reasonable arguments. I would say that the vast majority 363 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: of letters I have received have been exactly that, and 364 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 1: it's just what has needed. Assume rationality and the part 365 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: of the recipients and make a careful case we want 366 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: to play in the court of reason. C see a 367 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: copy to me if you wish. And then the message 368 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: gave email addresses for like seven University of Toronto officials 369 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: who had gone after him for his refusal to refer 370 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: to pay students by their preferred gender pronounce. So that's 371 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: what's happening, is this woman, he builds a rapport with her, 372 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: she's like comes to rely on him for her mental 373 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: health care, and then he like ghosts her and all 374 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: she gets his auto replies telling her to harass people 375 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: at the university on his behalf. That's that's literally what 376 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: happens there, which is profoundly abusive. Is that's the most 377 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 1: disgusting thing I've ever heard about Jordan Peterson. Yeah, um, 378 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: that is in the top three, at least, there's a 379 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: long list. I have to sort through it. But that's 380 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: like really fucked up, that's really deeply fun up to. 381 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 1: It just speaks so much to who he is and 382 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: what he's all about. Yeah, And there's a number of 383 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 1: ethics complaints they get filed against Peterson by patients who 384 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 1: found themselves discarded by him in his rush to capitalize 385 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: on fame. Um. Obviously he doesn't talk about any of 386 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: this on the show, right, he just talks about how 387 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: good he is it building a rapport with people and 388 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: getting them to trust him and um talking about himself 389 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: or whatever and not talking about himself focusing on them. God, 390 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: what a fucking creep. What a piece of ship. So 391 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 1: he spent several minutes talking about his friends in school 392 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 1: who were all again this is now He's gone back 393 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: to like talking about his own childhood, about people he 394 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: used to know as a kid, and all of his 395 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: friends were super like or while all of his friends 396 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: in like high school were like super tough, cool kids 397 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: who worked on oil rigs. Uh. He starts talk telling 398 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: the story about how one of his friends got into 399 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: a fight with their swimming coach and they were both cool, 400 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: like super cool, and then Jordan forgets to tell us 401 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: the end of the story and talks about how Jocko 402 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: Willink is cool too, what he's just like he's just 403 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 1: like talking about his cool friends and oil rigs and 404 00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: how they got into a fight with the coach and 405 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: they're so manly. Knew who else is manly is the 406 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: Navy's seal with a podcast Jocko Willink, who again, I'm 407 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 1: not I have no particular opinions on Jocko. I'm not 408 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: attacking him. Jordan Peterson just goes into a rant about 409 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: how cool he is because he's like Jordan's friends who 410 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: got into fights with their swimming coach. For the record, 411 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,639 Speaker 1: I don't think Jacko will Link ever got into a 412 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: fight with a swimming coach that I would. I would 413 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: believe you. Here, here's the clip. You're gonna want to 414 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: do it on your own terms. And our school systems 415 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: very bad at facilitating that. In fact, it does everything. 416 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 1: It was even designed at the beginning to not facilitate that, 417 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 1: because our school system was based on the Prussian military model, 418 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: and the Prussians, who also trained the Japanese to establish 419 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: their school systems by the way, they wanted to produce 420 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: obedient factory workers. And so first off, this is what 421 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 1: after he's randomly talking about how his friends were super 422 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: cool oil rig workers who got into fist fights with 423 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: their coach, this is what leads to him talking about 424 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: like modern education and how broken it is, like the 425 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: idea that it was better back when kids would just 426 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: work in oil rigs and get into fist fights with coaches, 427 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: and now it's they're all Prussian school modeled in terrible 428 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: and like everybody's being trained to be obedient drones. Wait 429 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: the second he likes that though, well, no he doesn't, 430 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: because that's that's a great point, Cody, But he doesn't. Now, 431 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 1: So what's important is that he's made another falsifiable statement here, 432 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: right that Japan based their schooling on the Prussian model. Now, 433 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: the Prussian but like we're taught by them, like trained 434 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: by them to do the Prussian model is a thing. 435 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: Japan did not base their schooling system on Prussian learning alone, 436 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: nor did the Prussians just like teach them how to 437 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: do schooling. From eighteen seventy three to eighteen ninety, Japan 438 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: reformed their educational system, and they didn't do it just 439 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: like by bringing in people to teach them how to 440 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: do it. They didn't base their their new education system 441 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: on any one nation's methods, and what they did was 442 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: the very reasonable thing. They adopted a number of different 443 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 1: methods from several countries and then tested a bunch of 444 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: them out at the same time so they could learn 445 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: through trial and error what seemed to work best. They 446 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 1: did in fact study and test aspects of the Prussian system. 447 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: They also tested and studied aspects of the American and 448 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,120 Speaker 1: French education systems. Um almost like they didn't just want 449 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: to create robotic drones, but we're really just like trying 450 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: to solve the difficult problem of what works for an 451 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: educational system. Prussia the late eighteen hundreds very successful countries. 452 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: So is the United States, and so is France, and 453 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,120 Speaker 1: so they're kind of like being like, well, these three 454 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 1: countries are succeeding in ways we want to succeed. Let 455 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 1: us test aspects of their educational systems to see what 456 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: works for us, Which is not what Peterson said, because 457 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: he's wrong about everything. He said the Prussians trained them 458 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: how to do the school, which was based on he does. 459 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 1: It is interesting. Yeah, He's like it's so managing because 460 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 1: like clearly he re a lot. He's a reader. He 461 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 1: reads a lot, and he half remembers, like most of 462 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: us do, bits and pieces of what I read. He 463 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: like he like kind of absorbs a little bit or 464 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: like these things that that he like moves around so 465 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: that they align with whatever he is thinking at the time, 466 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 1: and like just says like, as fact, this thing is like, 467 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,400 Speaker 1: well ten percent of that was right, Like, you're right, 468 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 1: the Japanese did test out aspects of the Prussian education system. Um, 469 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: but you're missing what actually happened in Japan in that period, Right, 470 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: there's like okay, subject and object or right, the verbs 471 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 1: are all wrong. Yeah. I think the thing that is 472 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 1: kind of worth highlighting here is the denial of agency 473 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: of Japanese people. Like the way he frames it, the 474 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: Prussians came in and taught them how to build an 475 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 1: education system that would train their children into like little robots, 476 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: and that that's what happened as opposed to the Empire 477 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 1: of Japan exercise and considerable agency going out and testing 478 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 1: different methods to right and reform their system in a 479 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 1: way that would allow them to achieve their goals, which 480 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: is what happened, right, Yeah, because Japan is famously a 481 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: country that exercises quite a bit of agency. But like yeah, 482 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: and like they did the thing that he would support, 483 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: like you test this, you test this, you test this, 484 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: and you can find the best result. And like is 485 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: he trying to make a connection to what he was 486 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: talking about earlier with like Japanese men, Yeah, I think so. 487 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 1: I think he is, like, that's yeah, even though like 488 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: there are you might argue a significant thing that happens 489 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: about sixty years after Japan reforms this educational system that 490 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: leads to kind of some social breaks that might be 491 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: more relevant for looking at things that are happening to 492 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: young Japanese men in two. Not that his not that 493 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: what he said earlier about Japanese men two was accurate either, right, yeah, is, 494 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: but I don't know, Joan. I think something happened in 495 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 1: the mid forties that might have caused a break in 496 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: the way Japanese society handled stuff like education, I mean 497 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: anything that's entire Yeah, okay, okay, Dr Peterson. So anyway, 498 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: he's just this doesn't have a huge thing to do 499 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: with his other clips. It's just like he's always wrong. Anyway. 500 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:24,439 Speaker 1: Here's another clip. Don't sell yourself short and don't let 501 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: the people who demand slavish obedience, you know, that puppy 502 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: dog style of living. Don't let them short circuit your 503 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: future because you know you're not inclined towards that kind 504 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: of obedience. That's actually a virtue, not a vice, even 505 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: though it's punished in well, certainly in schools, especially by 506 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: edible female teachers, although there's no shortage of men who 507 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: are participating in that is. Yeah, my man, like the 508 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: like coolest split screen thing, this cool that it's just 509 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: yea so great visually. Um that he was gonna say 510 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: some fun shit. I love whenever because you have these 511 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: moments where like there's this little slip he loses a 512 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: little bit of composure and it's like, ah, you hate women, right, 513 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: Like that's yeah, you're really deeply angry at women. Um yeah, 514 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: that's I mean the couple were like, yeah, like all 515 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: the stuff he's been saying like this that like dating 516 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: above their status and like the fatherless it's like single 517 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: mothers and mass shooters like all this stuff. It's like, man, 518 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: you're just so deeply angry at the concept of women. Um, 519 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: that's pretty cool, I think. But also but also like 520 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: it's only what he's talking about too is just like 521 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: you know, obedience is like you know, don't because it's 522 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 1: a slave to blah blah blah. It is like, but 523 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: you would disagree with that if it was about something 524 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: you agree with, you would be like, well, no, you 525 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: like you you follow orders, you like you do this, 526 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: you do this, you find your place, and you like 527 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: you follow the steps in your hierarchy to do X 528 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: and y. Um. It's just so just his it's like 529 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: context ideology dependent, and it's just fun to see him 530 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: pretend that he doesn't he doesn't think that way. Yeah. 531 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,959 Speaker 1: You know what else is fun to pretend? Cody, Uh, 532 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: some edible mother. It's fun to pretend that we could 533 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: ever live in a world without the products and services 534 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: that support this podcast. But of course we couldn't. There 535 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: is no life without these products and services. Existence itself 536 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: is meaningless without whatever comes up next. As soon as 537 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: my stopped talking, Ah, we're back, and I hope that 538 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: your lives have been filled with meaning. Um, the only 539 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 1: meaning you will ever experience. Family means nothing, Your own 540 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: children mean nothing. Love is but a vapor in the air. 541 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 1: But the products and services that support this podcast our 542 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: God in a very real way. Cody. Yeah, yeah, that's good. 543 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: No disagreement. M cool. So the very next thing that 544 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: happens in the Jordan Peterson TV Show is this very 545 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: this really weirdly sharp cut, followed by the title text 546 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: Can men be controllable monsters? Yeah? It's a question, and 547 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: only psychopaths ask themselves. Um, so you gotta accept the 548 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: monster's aspects of you and be a monster in order 549 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: to be uh whatever, he'll say it. It's fine exactly. 550 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: He talks about young in Nietzsche a lot, and it's honestly, 551 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: it's not very interesting. There's a long kind of rambling 552 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 1: rant here, but I want to play where it leads 553 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: him to. This is him kind of like reaching his conclusions. 554 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: You might have fantasies of revenge, sometimes very violent. If 555 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: you're extremely sexually deprived, or maybe not even that extremely, 556 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: you'll have sexual fantasy. And if you're revengeful and look 557 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 1: up bro and feeling oppressed, and then you might have 558 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: violent sexual fantasies. That's a part of you. So let's 559 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: say that's the shadow. I just want to point out 560 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: that he only looked into the camera and when he 561 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: was like violence, sexual fantasies. Yeah, God, it's it's all 562 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 1: like this. And there's a cut coming up in which 563 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: the screen splits in three, focusing on focusing on Jordan's hands, 564 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: then a close shot of his face, and then the 565 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: wide shot of him sitting in a chair. Nothing interesting 566 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 1: happens during this. He does not make any points. There 567 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: is no like big conclusion he builds too. I just 568 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: the editing decisions in this video text on screen, just 569 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: then scroll back. Why don't we just play that segment. 570 00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: Let's let's give it. Oh it's a head yeah okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 571 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 1: it's yeah. Yeah. The text is women want a tamable beast. 572 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: There we go. Yeah, yeah, it's amazing. So his train 573 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: of thought, as that might key you went on, leads 574 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 1: him to another Disney movie, thank God, And here's him 575 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: talking about that story of Beauty and the Beast, and 576 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: so in the Disney version, which does a very nice 577 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: job of laying this out, Beauty is an entirely commendable female. 578 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 1: She's attractive and wise, intelligent, ethical, devoted to her father, 579 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: but not in the pathological way. Independent. She has everything 580 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: going for her. She's the target of the advances of 581 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: a narcissistic Macavellian Gaston, who's like a parody of masculinity. 582 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: He's sort of you might think about him as the 583 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: as the feminine patriarchal nightmare and animated form said no one, ever, 584 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 1: what what are you doing? Well, he's not a nightmare 585 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 1: so much as a caricature, Like it's a movie, and 586 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: he's Gaston is the bad guy because he's everything Jordan 587 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 1: Peterson wants a man to be. He's deeply concerned with hierarchy. 588 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: He is unable to consider like the validity of other 589 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: people's experiences. He is deeply anti woke. He is he is. 590 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: He extracts unthinking lye from the world around him in 591 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: order to increase his own uh like power and his 592 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 1: own like relative level of wealth in society. Like he 593 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 1: has everything. Jordan Peterson thinks it's good for a man 594 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 1: to be, which is what He's a caricature. He's a 595 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,320 Speaker 1: caricature of you. Jordan's right, yeah, and like the movement 596 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: you're supporting, it's so weird to also it's funny. He 597 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 1: and like you know, the shapires of the world. World, 598 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: they just can't like whenever they see something like that, 599 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: they can't. They like short circuit in a way because 600 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: he wants to talk about beauty and the beast in 601 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: a way that's like, oh, it's meaningful and it means 602 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,880 Speaker 1: this and it demonstrates this, and like here's what it 603 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: says about life and it's good. But there's this character 604 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: who reminds me of me. So he's bad, Like the 605 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,800 Speaker 1: idea that they're like, he's scoffing at this, He's what 606 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 1: he's saying is that, like, rather than Beauty and the 607 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: Beast was even in the fucking whenever that movie was made, 608 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 1: like the sixties, right, even in this less this less 609 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,719 Speaker 1: woke era, the people who made Beauty and the Beast 610 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 1: were specifically saying, like, masculinity, toxic masculinity of the sort 611 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 1: that Peterson embodies is something to be mocked and derided. Um, 612 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,800 Speaker 1: which is like what they hate the most, Which is 613 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 1: what they hate the most, because the message of that 614 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: is that like things get better for this like like monstrous, 615 00:35:55,760 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 1: aggressive individual because he's fundamentally capable of change and like 616 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 1: listening to others and learning from them, and everything good 617 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: that happens to him and happens in the story is 618 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 1: because he's capable of listening to and learning from a 619 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 1: woman's ramping up to critique like feminist movements like me too. Yeah, 620 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,919 Speaker 1: I think that's kind of where we're Let's let's let's 621 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 1: continue from where we left a bluster. And although he's attractive, 622 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 1: it's a superficial attractiveness that often characterizes narcissists, and Beauty 623 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 1: is wise enough to actually prefer the beast, who's a 624 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,759 Speaker 1: beast but also capable of standing up to Gaston and 625 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,760 Speaker 1: also prevailing, which is the advantage of the beast like elements, 626 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 1: but also capable of being enticed by beauty and maybe 627 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 1: literally so into a first of all a productive orientation 628 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 1: for his proclivity for aggression, and also into a productive 629 00:36:55,520 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: and generous relationship and beauty being a wise woman and 630 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 1: oriented towards the good and characterized by a positive relationship 631 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 1: with her father, which is stressed by the way in 632 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:12,839 Speaker 1: that movie wants a tamable beast. And first off, we'll 633 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 1: continue in a second. It's been a minute since I've 634 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 1: seen that. Isn't one of the points of it that 635 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,919 Speaker 1: he's actually like not super violent, Like he he makes 636 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 1: like big threats and he blusters, but he never hurts her. 637 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 1: Nor is he a violent threat to the rest of 638 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 1: the village. No, he's only a violent threat to guests 639 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:37,360 Speaker 1: on briefly at the end, because uh, he's like bringing 640 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: a mob of people. Um, that was so interesting to 641 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 1: see him be like, yeah, it's like he's having to 642 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 1: control his beastliness in order to defeat this narcissist And like, 643 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 1: I actually think the point of it is that he's 644 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 1: not really a beast. He just looks scary because of 645 00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 1: a curse, but it's actually kind of a decent man 646 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 1: with some emotional trouble who needs to work through his problems, 647 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,239 Speaker 1: like he becomes That not the actual point of the 648 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 1: story that he's not gentle by the end. Um, it's 649 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,359 Speaker 1: so weird that he lead with that. I'm just saying, 650 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: update to dating profile must be four years older than 651 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,480 Speaker 1: me and be a hashtag tam moable beasts be at 652 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:24,800 Speaker 1: tamable beamable beast because I feel anyway guys would be like, 653 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:30,800 Speaker 1: oh yeah, finally, finally, why don't you keep playing for 654 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,920 Speaker 1: a little bit longer. We did that, We did the 655 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,920 Speaker 1: rest of the thing that you No, no, no, I 656 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 1: want to get to the point where he talks about 657 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 1: how women like erotic literature. Yes, yes, yes, I've seen 658 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 1: before before sorry, before we before we play this, I 659 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 1: have seen again. All this stuff is stuff he's talked 660 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,920 Speaker 1: about like ninety million times on other podcasts and flogs 661 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,720 Speaker 1: and stuff. I've seen him talk about what he's about 662 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 1: to talk about with his daughter. Productive and competent, but 663 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,360 Speaker 1: so capable of enough aggression to keep the real monsters 664 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 1: at bay. And that's a very narrow needle I for 665 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,719 Speaker 1: women to threat because you need a man who is 666 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 1: aggressive enough to keep the real monsters away, but simultaneously 667 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: agreeable enough, empathic enough, generous enough to be good with kids, 668 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 1: to be good with her, and to share. And so 669 00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 1: that's a very fine line. And the taming of the 670 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,759 Speaker 1: beast is in some sense the negotiated establishment of that line. 671 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 1: So there's a book called A Billion Wicked Thoughts that 672 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,360 Speaker 1: was written by Google engineers, who are quite reliable social 673 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,919 Speaker 1: scientists when they put their minds to it, engineer types 674 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 1: because they tend to follow the data independent of any 675 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,799 Speaker 1: political inclination. And they looked at patterns of pornography use 676 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,760 Speaker 1: among men and women, drawing on literally billions of data 677 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,480 Speaker 1: points a Billion Wicked Thoughts, and they found was something 678 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 1: that had been reported previously, but this was on a 679 00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: very large scale. That men use visual pornography. I don't 680 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,160 Speaker 1: think that comes as a shock to anyone, but that 681 00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:08,840 Speaker 1: women's preferred pornographic art form is literary. The women like stories, 682 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:14,759 Speaker 1: and they analyze the canonical female pornographic fantasy and it's 683 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:20,279 Speaker 1: basically surprise, surprise, fifty shades of gray, and so the 684 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:24,840 Speaker 1: Google engineers identified five categories of men that were often 685 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,880 Speaker 1: the feature target for the romantic and erotic adventures of 686 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:37,360 Speaker 1: the female protagonist in the pornographic stories Pirate, vampire, surgeon, billionaire, 687 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,239 Speaker 1: and one I can never remember, but you get the 688 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:47,520 Speaker 1: ideas it's werewolf. The one he cannot remember is werewolf. 689 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 1: You remember here you put a werewolf in there, and like, 690 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:58,719 Speaker 1: there's so much that's wrong here. Number one, I don't know. Obviously, 691 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 1: a number of women find it attractive when a man 692 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:07,440 Speaker 1: is like muscular or strong, or like large. There's something comfortable, 693 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 1: especially if you're smaller about that. That is like a 694 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,840 Speaker 1: thing that occurs in the world. Um, But it's not 695 00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 1: because those men are tamable beasts. And in fact, I 696 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 1: would argue that as in my experience, UM, it tends 697 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 1: to be deeply off putting. If you feel like somebody 698 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 1: is barely holding and check their aggressiveness, like, it's nice 699 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 1: to be with someone if you're who like you feel like, oh, 700 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 1: if something bad happens, this person will react well and 701 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,200 Speaker 1: can help me stay safe and can protect people around me. 702 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 1: That is an attractive trait. It's like if a fire 703 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,319 Speaker 1: breaks out and you happen to have someone there who 704 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,879 Speaker 1: has experienced fighting fires and they put the fire out. 705 00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 1: That is attractive. It is attractive to know, oh, that 706 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:55,640 Speaker 1: person can handle themselves in a dangerous situation. Right. All 707 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,440 Speaker 1: people find that attractive, men and women. It's always an 708 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:02,719 Speaker 1: attractive trait for very obvious reasons. What very few people 709 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 1: find attractive is feeling, wow, this person could fly off 710 00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,360 Speaker 1: the handle and become a dangerous, violent person at any second. 711 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:15,239 Speaker 1: Right because what he's talking about our fantasies. He's used 712 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,400 Speaker 1: that word many times, what he's talking about, and in 713 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 1: these fantasies, they're not like pirate. It's not a violent, 714 00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:26,320 Speaker 1: angry pirate with a short fuse who could.

And 717 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,840 Speaker 1: when you get to know it's the there's a reason 718 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:39,040 Speaker 1: why an entire generation of women in the West fell 719 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:43,239 Speaker 1: in love with Carrie always in uh fucking um the 720 00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:47,000 Speaker 1: Princess because he's, yeah, he's this pirate, but fundamentally, the 721 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:50,040 Speaker 1: instant you talk to him, he doesn't.

Right, there's this there's this thing, 746 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,480 Speaker 1: and we're we're going to tread into some dicey territory. 747 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,239 Speaker 1: You can find a number of men who wrote, particularly 748 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,440 Speaker 1: back in the seventies, really bad essays about the fact 749 00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:42,759 Speaker 1: that rape is a really common sexual fantasy, right, that 750 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:46,239 Speaker 1: a lot of sexual fantasies involve assault and domination in 751 00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,280 Speaker 1: that san Bernie Sanders wrote a terrible essay. Hunter Thompson 752 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:53,640 Speaker 1: wrote a terrible essay. And as somebody who has repeatedly 753 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:57,240 Speaker 1: interviewed like people who professionally, sometimes in a clinical sense, 754 00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 1: help people engage with fantasy, is like that part of 755 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,800 Speaker 1: the reason why those are so common is they allow 756 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:07,480 Speaker 1: people who have been victimized to take power and agency 757 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,320 Speaker 1: in a situation that was deeply traumatic to them and 758 00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:15,479 Speaker 1: kind of recreate and explore that that that experience while 759 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,080 Speaker 1: being able to take agency and control this time, and 760 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 1: that is a that is a reason why that is 761 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:23,839 Speaker 1: a thing that people. But I don't think a guy 762 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:27,400 Speaker 1: like Jordan is capable of understanding that. Instead he interprets 763 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,800 Speaker 1: it as women actually want this a diversion of this 764 00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:32,680 Speaker 1: to happen to them, rather than like, well, people who 765 00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,640 Speaker 1: are traumatized may seek to explore the thing that traumatized 766 00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:39,359 Speaker 1: them in a way in which they have more agency. Yeah. Um, 767 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:44,279 Speaker 1: it's kind of fucked up that he's a psychologist. It's 768 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,120 Speaker 1: really fucked up that he's a psychologist.

Yeah, it's, um, you know what I would 799 00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 1: like to do with Jordan Peterson if I could, I 800 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,960 Speaker 1: would like to sit him downward, and I would like 801 00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,480 Speaker 1: to make him watch the movie Wolf Cop, and I 802 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,919 Speaker 1: would like him to interpret the film Wolf Cop, particularly 803 00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,440 Speaker 1: the scene in which the main character bursts Dick Frost 804 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,800 Speaker 1: first into a werewolf. It's the most incredible scene in 805 00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:48,200 Speaker 1: cinematic history. Nothing has ever compared to it. God, I 806 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,440 Speaker 1: love wolf I I'm just now hearing of it. Have 807 00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,160 Speaker 1: you not seen wolf Coffee turns cock first into a 808 00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:56,480 Speaker 1: werewolf Cody and you see it all? What it is 809 00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:01,879 Speaker 1: amazing everything you see everything Wolf Cop. Watch it. I'm 810 00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:06,440 Speaker 1: checking out the trailer right now. It is heard he's 811 00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:11,319 Speaker 1: a very drunk cop. The main character is a drunk cop. Yes, 812 00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,080 Speaker 1: because he's wasted. He is like he is like the 813 00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:18,839 Speaker 1: Sheriff and Jaws level alcoholic. It's awesome. Um. And then 814 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,480 Speaker 1: the best thing about it is after he becomes a werewolf, 815 00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,520 Speaker 1: he doesn't stop being a cop. He's both a hundred 816 00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,600 Speaker 1: percent werewolf and a hundred percent cop at the same time, 817 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,319 Speaker 1: which is groundbreaking. I mean that's why he's the wolf 818 00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:39,480 Speaker 1: cop right, Yes, exactly. Anyway, anyway, lampire and wolf cop 819 00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:45,920 Speaker 1: and wolf cop so um, it's very funny. H So 820 00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:50,120 Speaker 1: he goes into this misunderstanding of this Google study to 821 00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:52,880 Speaker 1: say that it's really important that all of these preferred 822 00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:57,160 Speaker 1: female fantasy men um were like these these fantasies remained 823 00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:00,799 Speaker 1: in place during Me Too. Like that's that he thought, 824 00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:06,200 Speaker 1: you think that's a big deal. I knew it. Anyway, 825 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:11,760 Speaker 1: here's how he describes the Me too movement, just taking 826 00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:16,839 Speaker 1: a deep sigh. All male will is potentially corrupted by 827 00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:23,080 Speaker 1: power and to be regarded with suspicion and legal regulation. Well, 828 00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:26,759 Speaker 1: that's far too extreme and preposterous. And so what you 829 00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:31,920 Speaker 1: have as a compensatory fantasy emerge. That's highlighting the value 830 00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:36,360 Speaker 1: that's not being properly attended to by the culture, and 831 00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,239 Speaker 1: it possesses people in an unconscious manner, you might say, uh, 832 00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:42,439 Speaker 1: in an attempt to bring them back to the middle. 833 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:46,320 Speaker 1: And anyways, that's all part of the tamable monster and 834 00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:53,000 Speaker 1: is it is it also hand motions during that exact 835 00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:59,200 Speaker 1: part or just spectacularly distracting. It's his need to like 836 00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:03,440 Speaker 1: make these things complex and deeper than Like, it was 837 00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:06,279 Speaker 1: easy for men to get away with assaulting women and 838 00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:10,759 Speaker 1: they didn't like that, and they're frustrating, Like listening to 839 00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:12,360 Speaker 1: them talk about this stuff, it's like, no, man, just 840 00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:17,440 Speaker 1: like people don't like to be assaulted. Jordan's like the 841 00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:21,440 Speaker 1: like why me too happen is extremely simple. It was 842 00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,440 Speaker 1: easy for powerful men to get away with abusing women, 843 00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,920 Speaker 1: and the women didn't like it, like it, and also 844 00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,000 Speaker 1: a lot of men didn't like it because it's fucked 845 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:36,000 Speaker 1: up and horrible, like people did. People don't like that. 846 00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:40,279 Speaker 1: It's bad. Some people did and those people are bad. Yeah, 847 00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:43,080 Speaker 1: those people are terrible, and we wanted them out of 848 00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:47,200 Speaker 1: our society. There the tamable beasts. You can even phrase 849 00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:51,200 Speaker 1: that in like a stupid mythic term, where like fundamentally 850 00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:55,759 Speaker 1: society is all sheep and wolves, and the wolves were 851 00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,440 Speaker 1: preying on the sheep, but dressing as the wolf. It's 852 00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,680 Speaker 1: the evil uncle and the crowd own and I don't 853 00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:02,200 Speaker 1: know whatever, I'm not going to try to do that, 854 00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:03,880 Speaker 1: like you can do a man job of this than 855 00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:08,680 Speaker 1: because um yeah. So after this, he restates for like 856 00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:10,680 Speaker 1: the fifth fucking time that a man who can be 857 00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,120 Speaker 1: aggressive but also knows how not to be aggressive is 858 00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:16,319 Speaker 1: the most useful kind of man, which is like pointless. Yes, 859 00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,439 Speaker 1: aggression is sometimes necessary so it is it is good 860 00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:23,319 Speaker 1: to be capable of aggression and also know when that's 861 00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,480 Speaker 1: not appropriate. Like obviously, that's the thing of saying, like, 862 00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,080 Speaker 1: it's good to know when you should use a kitchen 863 00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,960 Speaker 1: knife as opposed to putting the kitchen knife away so 864 00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:35,360 Speaker 1: you don't accidentally cut somebody. Well, yes, Jordan's it is 865 00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:37,680 Speaker 1: good to not just swing a kitchen knife around. There's 866 00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:42,200 Speaker 1: a time and a place for that knife. Everyone knows this, um. Also, 867 00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,759 Speaker 1: the same is true of women, where it's you need 868 00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,680 Speaker 1: to be aggressive sometimes and other times it's inappropriate to 869 00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,759 Speaker 1: be aggressive. That is true of all human beings, like 870 00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,439 Speaker 1: sometimes human beings will need to be aggressive, but most 871 00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,520 Speaker 1: of the time they won't need to be, and knowing 872 00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:01,800 Speaker 1: the difference is critical. Obviously, Jordan um, I don't know. 873 00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:05,600 Speaker 1: His episode peters out to a completely nonsensical closing statement. 874 00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:10,160 Speaker 1: Control is that way more useful man than one who 875 00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:14,319 Speaker 1: cannot do that for lack of ability or because he's 876 00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:19,160 Speaker 1: imposed or incorporated arbitrary moral constraints on his perceptions and 877 00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:22,920 Speaker 1: behavior that stop him from well from from from being 878 00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:25,360 Speaker 1: able to say no, for example, because saying no is 879 00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:29,880 Speaker 1: an act of aggression, as what no means no means 880 00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:33,520 Speaker 1: stop doing that, or something you do not like will 881 00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:38,759 Speaker 1: absolutely happened to you. And so without that, there's no 882 00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:42,840 Speaker 1: capacities say no. And well, if you can't say no, 883 00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:47,279 Speaker 1: you can't negotiate, you can't you can't move forward, you 884 00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:52,279 Speaker 1: can't you can't live your own life. You can't put 885 00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:59,800 Speaker 1: limits on Machiavellian's, you can't oppose narcissists, you can't emerge 886 00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:04,000 Speaker 1: scathed from people use empathy in a manipulative way. You 887 00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:07,279 Speaker 1: can't put constraints on a bad, badly behaving two year old. 888 00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:11,440 Speaker 1: Oh good, get the song. No in aggression, those are 889 00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,920 Speaker 1: an integrated aggression. Those are pretty much exactly the same thing. 890 00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:25,120 Speaker 1: What what what? The same thing is inherently enactive violence. Impressively, 891 00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:30,080 Speaker 1: he's saying that because like, you can't say no without 892 00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:32,799 Speaker 1: the threat of force. But for example, the other night, 893 00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,600 Speaker 1: my friends were going out to dance and they asked 894 00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:38,400 Speaker 1: if I wanted to go, and I said no, And 895 00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,960 Speaker 1: you know what I didn't was not present at all 896 00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:43,960 Speaker 1: was the fact that I might harm them physically if 897 00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:47,120 Speaker 1: they asked me again. Right, there was no threat. It 898 00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:49,000 Speaker 1: was just I was asked if I wanted to do 899 00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:52,080 Speaker 1: a thing, and I stated that I did not right, 900 00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,920 Speaker 1: because like what he's like assuming that, like it's not 901 00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,080 Speaker 1: just like the no is violence, it's the initial question 902 00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:03,000 Speaker 1: is violence. Yeah, everything is violence. It's just meeting violence violence, 903 00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:08,400 Speaker 1: and so rejecting that is also implicit violence. And also 904 00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:10,960 Speaker 1: like as a general even in the because he's obviously 905 00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:12,800 Speaker 1: means a lot of this is like a in a 906 00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:16,000 Speaker 1: like in a sexual way, like if a man asks 907 00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:18,680 Speaker 1: something of a woman and she says no, that's a 908 00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:22,600 Speaker 1: violence on her part too, because obviously she can only 909 00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,440 Speaker 1: back up the fact that, like she doesn't want him 910 00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:29,080 Speaker 1: to do something if she's willing to use force, which 911 00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:32,200 Speaker 1: is nonsense, because I think it is for the most 912 00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:36,840 Speaker 1: part in human society when like people ask do you 913 00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:40,080 Speaker 1: want to do like hey, do you want to make 914 00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,360 Speaker 1: out or whatever or have some sort of like physical 915 00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,799 Speaker 1: arrangement and the other person says no, As a general rule, 916 00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,600 Speaker 1: most people are like, oh okay, and there's not a 917 00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:51,760 Speaker 1: threat of violence because most people don't want to be rapists. 918 00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:59,080 Speaker 1: I do feel like that's probably someone that is somewhat 919 00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,479 Speaker 1: of a statement of faith on my part. But yeah, 920 00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,680 Speaker 1: I mean according to Jordan, that's not true. Sort of 921 00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:06,880 Speaker 1: the Jordan that's not true. It's the threat of violence 922 00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:11,799 Speaker 1: on both sides period. Also like just what a weird 923 00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:15,319 Speaker 1: way to end um. But like it's just again, it's 924 00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:17,200 Speaker 1: one of those things where he's like he's talking these 925 00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,640 Speaker 1: grandiose terms and in some ways just misrepresenting things and 926 00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:25,440 Speaker 1: just saying fucked up, like uh, like hard lined rules 927 00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:30,680 Speaker 1: about how everybody is and how everybody should act. But 928 00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:34,279 Speaker 1: what he's talking about like almost it's like, yeah, it's 929 00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:35,840 Speaker 1: good to set boundaries and be able to say no, 930 00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:42,239 Speaker 1: which which okay, yeah, But also saying no is inherently 931 00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:44,879 Speaker 1: not an act of violence, right, No, Like it's it's 932 00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:47,920 Speaker 1: like it's like packaged and all this other stuff is 933 00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:50,960 Speaker 1: like it would be it would be fair to say that, 934 00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:54,239 Speaker 1: like sometimes because of because of the fact that many 935 00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:58,319 Speaker 1: men have bad boundaries and are aggressive in an unhinged way, 936 00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:02,160 Speaker 1: women may need to know how to say no in 937 00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,520 Speaker 1: a in a way that is aggressive and that implies 938 00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:06,320 Speaker 1: a degree of threat because they may be in a 939 00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,560 Speaker 1: situation where they are themselves threatened. That's a fair statement, 940 00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,200 Speaker 1: but also number one, that's not ever going to be 941 00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,319 Speaker 1: generally true. And number two, we should be moving as 942 00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:18,400 Speaker 1: a society to a situation which people don't have to 943 00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:22,400 Speaker 1: say no as a with the threat of aggression behind it, 944 00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:26,440 Speaker 1: like because that's bad. That's always a bad thing when 945 00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:31,239 Speaker 1: that happens. Anyway, Jordan Peterson, I mean he's talked about 946 00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:33,360 Speaker 1: this before in terms of like how you can't like 947 00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:37,880 Speaker 1: is it like you can't, uh, you can't control crazy 948 00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:41,239 Speaker 1: women because you can't be violent with Um you're a man, 949 00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:43,400 Speaker 1: I can the threat of violence is there, but if 950 00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,280 Speaker 1: you're a woman, it's not, so you can't do anything. 951 00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,759 Speaker 1: So there's nothing to control women.
