Stefan Molyneux takes a close look at motherhood in today's world, especially with Mother's Day stirring up thoughts about the role. He talks about how perceptions of motherhood have shifted, the pressures women deal with, and the tension between genuine nurturing and what society demands. He critiques some of the traditional cultural norms that mothers pass along, and he considers the real difficulties of raising children in a multicultural setting. Above all, he makes the case for a more compassionate ethics grounded in universally preferable behavior, or UPB, and he hopes for a future where mothers and children can live together with genuine respect and harmony.

00:00Good morning, everybody. Hope you're doing well.
00:05So, it is Mother's Day today, and I hope you have a great relationship with your mother.
00:12I hope that if you are a mother, you have a great relationship with your children.
00:17And I wanted to spend a couple of minutes talking about motherhood,
00:23and just wanted to pause for a special shout-out to some dear close family friends
00:28who lost their mother recently, and that they are in our thoughts.
00:33We will talk later, and lots of love.
00:35So, if we could keep the topic to mothers today, that would be appreciated.
00:40It's not essential. It would be nice, but it's not essential.
00:45So, I wanted to talk about motherhood in particular today,
00:51because it's really interesting how little women want to be mothers these days.
00:58That's really fascinating. It's mind-bending. It's mind-blowing.
01:03How the greatest team in the universe, the greatest team in the universe is men and women.
01:09Without a doubt, with no hesitation, and with no clear second.
01:13It's sort of like how Wayne Gretzky was, I don't know if he still is, but he was for a
01:18time,
01:18I think he still is, the greatest athlete in the history of the world.
01:24Because he is so far ahead of the second-place person in terms of goals scored,
01:29that there's no comparison.
01:32You know, the fastest runner might be a few percent,
01:35maybe a percent or two faster than the second-fastest runner,
01:39but Wayne Gretzky is off the charts with regards to that.
01:42And the greatest team in the history of the known universe is the human male and the human female.
01:49We have produced a brilliance, a scintillating, revolving disco ball of spraying thoughts,
01:58conclusions, ideas, arguments, concepts, and beliefs that has no second.
02:03And we're not more animal.
02:06We're not animal plus.
02:08We're like a different being altogether, which is why.
02:13People think, of course, that the animals were created by God to serve humans,
02:16that humans are created by God with a soul,
02:19because it really is our only way of conceiving
02:21just how staggeringly and mind-bendingly different we are from animals.
02:29And, to me, really, one of the worst insults that you can give or receive as a human being
02:34is to say that you're acting like an animal.
02:38That is like a singer with the most beautiful voice doing a concert
02:42and purposefully singing badly and off-key.
02:44Be wretched. Be wretched.
02:47The greatest team in the universe that will ever be,
02:52because, as we talked about in the last show,
02:55the odds of us being visited by space aliens or visiting space aliens
03:01are extraordinarily low.
03:03You know, if we didn't live in a world of pedants,
03:07pedants,
03:08if we didn't live in a world of pedants,
03:11I would say the odds are zero.
03:13Well, it's not totally impossible.
03:16It's like, yeah, well,
03:17you could conceivably blindfold yourself.
03:19I mean, don't,
03:20but you could conceivably blindfold yourself
03:22and try and drive to work.
03:24Well, it's not zero chance you'd arrive there safely.
03:27It's like, yeah, it's zero.
03:29But no, you can't prove it's not zero.
03:31Yeah, yeah, it's zero.
03:33I mean, once in a billion, blah, blah, blah, right?
03:36I mean, technically,
03:38you could be in a room
03:40and you could asphyxiate.
03:43Why?
03:44Because the random Brownian motion of the air
03:48could take all the air,
03:51all the oxygen,
03:53to the top part
03:55or even through the walls
03:57and then you'd be left with no air.
03:59This could happen once every 20 universes
04:03to one person,
04:04one time,
04:05one place.
04:06You'd say,
04:07well,
04:07it's not technically impossible.
04:12Yeah, but it's impossible.
04:14I mean, try that as a argument
04:16in a court of law.
04:19So,
04:20we are the greatest team
04:23in the known universe
04:24and given that the known universe
04:26is almost certainly going to
04:28remain
04:29just
04:30our solar system,
04:32we're never going to meet a better team.
04:33males and females.
04:35What we have done,
04:37what we have done
04:38to create
04:40this absolutely glorious
04:41couple pounds
04:43of
04:44tiny,
04:46localized,
04:46yet infinite wetware
04:47known as the human brain
04:48is a feat
04:50beyond comprehension
04:51and it's so recent.
04:53It's only
04:55Bronze Age,
04:563,000 years,
04:573,000 to 6,000 years ago.
04:59Like, we've had
05:01staggering evolution
05:04just
05:04in the last
05:053,000 to 6,000 years
05:06we've gained
05:07a full standard deviation
05:08of intelligence.
05:11Well,
05:13until recently,
05:15the most amazing team
05:17produces the most amazing brain
05:19and
05:20then
05:21recently,
05:22relatively recently,
05:24really over the last,
05:25I mean,
05:26the last baby boom,
05:27somewhat artificial,
05:28of course,
05:29because it came after
05:29the Second World War,
05:32from 1945
05:35to 1965
05:37was the baby boom.
05:38Average 3, 4,
05:40sometimes more kids.
05:41There's still a baby boom
05:42among the Amish
05:43and, I think,
05:44among the fundamentalist
05:46Jews,
05:48but
05:49that was the last baby boom.
05:51And then the scurvy 70s,
05:53the materialist 80s,
05:54the nihilist 90s,
05:56the astroturfed post-911
05:59nationalism of the
06:00early noughties,
06:02and then the
06:04reactive chaos
06:05of the 20 teens,
06:07wherein my public
06:09persona was
06:10forged and battled
06:11and overcome.
06:13And women
06:13now,
06:15in general,
06:16overall,
06:17young women in particular,
06:18well,
06:19they don't really want to have
06:21babies.
06:22Amazing.
06:23Amazing.
06:25And it's something
06:26to really ponder.
06:27Now,
06:27of course,
06:27there's lots of reasons.
06:28I get all of that.
06:29Lots of reasons.
06:30And we've talked about
06:31all of those,
06:32but I'd like to delve
06:33into something much
06:34more fundamental today.
06:36Because Mother's Day
06:37is a beautiful day.
06:38A great mother
06:40is
06:41really one of the
06:42greatest treasures
06:43in the universe.
06:44I mean,
06:45it's good to be a good father.
06:47I think I'm a good father.
06:49But a great mother
06:51is
06:52the greatest treasure
06:53in the universe.
06:55A nurturer,
06:57an organizer,
06:58somebody with
06:59community spirit,
07:01somebody who brings
07:02meaning to the world.
07:04Men work for meaning,
07:05and meaning
07:07is largely provided
07:08by mothers.
07:10Men have
07:11this vastly,
07:12this vast power
07:14to
07:14create excess value,
07:16and that excess value
07:18is transferred to
07:19women and children,
07:20and women and children,
07:21and mothers in particular,
07:23create meaning.
07:24When a man is
07:25bone-tired,
07:27bone-weary,
07:28exhausted by the
07:30strife and conflict
07:31and physical battle
07:33of
07:34squeezing,
07:36drilling,
07:37yanking,
07:38pulling,
07:38tearing
07:39resources
07:40from an indifferent
07:42and unfriendly world,
07:43battling
07:44bureaucracy,
07:46battling
07:46office politics,
07:48battling his own nature,
07:49his own tiredness,
07:51because extracting
07:52resources
07:53from a cold
07:54and unfriendly world
07:56is a brutal business.
07:58It's a brutal business.
08:00And when a man
08:01is tired
08:02to his bone marrow
08:03and doesn't feel
08:04like he has the strength
08:06to go on,
08:07he comes down
08:07the stairs,
08:09and
08:10he sees his wife
08:12chasing his children
08:13around the kitchen table
08:15and pretending
08:16to flick them
08:16with a tea towel,
08:17and the children
08:19are laughing
08:19so hard
08:20that the orange juice
08:22is coming out
08:23of their nose,
08:23well,
08:25he gets a tad
08:25refreshed and renewed,
08:27and his soul
08:28settles into its
08:29thorny seat
08:31of near-infinite productivity,
08:33and he says,
08:34ah, yes,
08:35yes,
08:35yes,
08:37although
08:37I am tired,
08:39although
08:40my very bones
08:42ache
08:43in the face
08:43of gravity,
08:45although
08:45I am
08:46weary
08:47as though
08:48my veins
08:48were filled
08:49with wet sand,
08:51this is what
08:52it's for.
08:53This is what
08:54it's for.
08:55And the meaning
08:56that is reserved
08:58for the vast majority
08:59of humanity
09:00manifests
09:01in his eyes
09:03in the beauty
09:04of a family moment
09:06that he will look
09:07back upon
09:08on his deathbed
09:09and smile
09:10and say,
09:11oh, yeah,
09:12that's what
09:13it was all for.
09:15That's what
09:16it was all for.
09:17When he wakes
09:18in the morning
09:19and his wonderful
09:20wife is tired
09:22and she says,
09:23oh,
09:24your son was
09:25up at night,
09:26he was unwell,
09:27I wanted you to sleep,
09:28I can take a nap later,
09:30I know you've got
09:30a big day of work,
09:31I wanted you to sleep,
09:32so I took care of him.
09:33And he goes
09:34and sees his son
09:35sleeping peacefully
09:36with a slightly
09:38damp cloth
09:38with flannel
09:39on his forehead,
09:40and he goes
09:41and kisses his wife
09:42and he says,
09:42I love you so much,
09:43thank you so much
09:44for taking such
09:45wonderful care
09:45of our children,
09:46you are
09:47absolutely beautiful
09:48for it
09:49and whatever I can do
09:51to help out,
09:52I will.
09:53That's the greatest treasure,
09:54that's what we
09:55do things for,
09:57that's what we do
09:57it all for,
09:58really,
09:59foundationally.
10:00I
10:02battle the world
10:03and it is a weary
10:04business
10:04at times.
10:06Sometimes it's exciting,
10:07sometimes it's
10:08cool
10:09and
10:10sometimes
10:12I land some blows,
10:13a lot of blows
10:14are landed in return,
10:15obviously,
10:16but once you have
10:17kids,
10:19what do you do it for?
10:20You do it for your kids.
10:21You do it because
10:22you have a child
10:23or children
10:24who are going to have
10:25to make their way
10:26in the world
10:27and you want to do
10:28your very best
10:29to make the world
10:30the best place
10:32through which
10:33to make their way,
10:34whatever you can.
10:36we burn our present
10:38for the sake
10:39of the future.
10:41I have
10:41burnt my reputation
10:43to the ground
10:44for the sake
10:44of the future,
10:45which is really
10:45the job of the philosopher.
10:47I judge myself
10:49not by
10:50the hysterical reactions
10:52of malevolent
10:53online trolls
10:54Wikipedia,
10:56but
10:56I judge myself
10:58according to
10:59universal principles.
11:01My conscience
11:02is not
11:02beholden
11:03to evil
11:05doers
11:05and evil
11:06sayers.
11:06My conscience
11:07is beholden
11:08to universal
11:09principles.
11:10For me,
11:12listening
11:12to most people
11:14is like
11:16listening to
11:16someone who says,
11:17yeah,
11:18it's a 30-foot drop.
11:19You can do it.
11:20It's fine.
11:21Just jump.
11:21Just jump.
11:22Come on,
11:22jump.
11:23What are you,
11:23chicken?
11:26Nope.
11:27It's a big drop.
11:28I'm not doing that.
11:29I'm going to
11:30make my decisions
11:31according to
11:31the universal principles
11:33of physics
11:34and gravity,
11:35not your
11:37sadistic
11:38yapping,
11:39yawping,
11:39boring,
11:40droning,
11:41catcalling
11:42tones.
11:44But,
11:45although
11:46a great mother
11:47is the greatest
11:48treasure in the universe,
11:50and although
11:51married women
11:53with children
11:53are by far
11:54the happiest
11:55women,
11:56because
11:57children
11:58and eternity
11:59and the
12:00continuance of life
12:01replenishes
12:03us
12:04in ways
12:05that nothing
12:05else can.
12:07When I was
12:08battling the
12:09world,
12:11rolling on the
12:11ground
12:12and playing
12:13with my daughter
12:14when she was
12:14little,
12:15was the greatest
12:16restorative
12:18imaginable.
12:20Give a man
12:21a why,
12:22he can bear
12:23almost
12:23any how,
12:25and our children
12:25are the why,
12:27and the how
12:28is,
12:28how do we best
12:30fight evil
12:30to create a better
12:31world for our
12:33children,
12:33or at least
12:34make it less
12:35worse.
12:36Children,
12:38parenthood,
12:39and in particular
12:40motherhood,
12:41I chose
12:42a,
12:44an absolutely
12:45wonderful mother
12:46for my child,
12:49for our child.
12:50I will not
12:51sing her praises
12:53today,
12:54because I
12:55sing her praises
12:56every day,
12:57but she is
12:58remarkable,
13:00and wonderful,
13:01and
13:02really,
13:03and I'm sure
13:04it's not a total
13:04accident,
13:05the polar opposite
13:06of the mother
13:07who raised me,
13:08the mother
13:09who raised
13:10my child,
13:11is the complete
13:12opposite of the
13:13mother who raised
13:13me.
13:14Clear-eyed,
13:15rational,
13:15affectionate,
13:16good-natured,
13:17funny,
13:18warm,
13:19thoughtful,
13:20and a woman,
13:22you know,
13:22it's a funny thing
13:23that I think a lot
13:24of us have,
13:25that we have
13:25our own secret
13:27space,
13:27we have our own
13:28identity,
13:28we have our own
13:29thoughts,
13:29and then we view
13:30the imposition of
13:31others into our
13:32own secret thoughts
13:33as a diminishment
13:34of herself.
13:35My wife has taught
13:36me something
13:36enormously different,
13:38and really quite
13:38the opposite,
13:39that thinking
13:40continually about
13:41others is the
13:44greatest
13:45manifestation
13:47of identity
13:48known to man.
13:49Like,
13:49we don't have
13:50this identity
13:50which is then
13:51diminished
13:52by thinking of
13:53others.
13:54Like,
13:55we have
13:55a pile of
13:56food,
13:56and we give
13:57it to others,
13:57and then we
13:58have less
13:58food.
13:59No,
13:59that's not
14:00how it works.
14:01The giving
14:01is the getting.
14:02Because when you
14:03think of others,
14:04and they think
14:04of you,
14:06it's better.
14:06Imagine being
14:07one man trying
14:08to build a
14:08giant rocket,
14:09he would never
14:09get it done.
14:10I pencil,
14:11right,
14:11you know,
14:12that not one
14:13man knows
14:13how to make
14:14a pencil.
14:15Imagine being
14:15one man trying
14:16to build a
14:17giant rocket.
14:18Could never
14:19do it.
14:20But a team
14:20can build a
14:21rocket.
14:22Everything you
14:24see around you
14:25that is manifested,
14:27that is man-made,
14:27is made by a team.
14:30And if a man
14:31wants to build
14:31a rocket,
14:32or a phone,
14:33or a house,
14:35all by himself,
14:36including getting
14:37all the source
14:37materials,
14:38and cutting down
14:39all the trees,
14:40and getting the
14:41sand and grit
14:42for the concrete,
14:43all them looking
14:44the glass,
14:44by him getting
14:45the sand
14:45for the glass,
14:46you can't do it.
14:47Are you diminished
14:49by participating
14:50with others?
14:50No.
14:52Everything that
14:53you achieve
14:53is a manifestation
14:55of teamwork,
14:56civilization,
14:57art,
14:58technology,
14:59and children.
15:01Thinking of
15:01others and
15:02having them
15:02think of you
15:03is the greatest
15:04manifestation
15:05of identity.
15:07Why?
15:07Because we're
15:07social animals.
15:08To be atomized,
15:09to be individualistic,
15:11alone,
15:11to be isolated,
15:12is inhuman.
15:14There is no
15:15I in humanity.
15:16There is only
15:17we.
15:19We is fun.
15:20We is we.
15:24See?
15:25Now you're
15:25participating in
15:26bad philosophy jokes.
15:28Like it or not.
15:28Well, I guess you
15:29could turn it off
15:29if you want.
15:31I mean,
15:32particularly as a
15:33predator species,
15:33we only see them
15:35in front of us
15:35we can't see behind.
15:37So we need others
15:38to watch our back.
15:39We have
15:40a consciousness
15:41that is capable
15:43of great
15:43and deep
15:44concentration.
15:45And that means
15:46other people
15:48have to watch
15:49our back
15:50while we work.
15:51I mean,
15:52just think of
15:53spinning sticks
15:54to start a fire.
15:55You've got to
15:55really concentrate
15:56on that.
15:57Know when to blow,
15:57know when to wait,
15:58look for the spark.
16:00And somebody's
16:01got to watch
16:02our back
16:02to make sure
16:03some predator
16:04doesn't creep up
16:05on us
16:05when we are
16:07concentrating
16:07on starting
16:08a fire
16:09or
16:10when we're
16:11hunting.
16:11A man
16:12goes to
16:12hunt
16:13solo
16:13in the woods.
16:14It's dangerous
16:15because while
16:16he's concentrating
16:17on the hunt,
16:18some animal
16:19could be
16:20concentrating
16:21on him.
16:22While he
16:23is hunting
16:23the deer,
16:24the wolves
16:25are creeping
16:26up and hunting
16:27him and he
16:27needs people
16:28to watch
16:28his back.
16:29And my wife
16:30has taught me
16:30that thinking
16:32of others
16:32and merging
16:33my identity
16:34with a group
16:36is the greatest
16:37manifestation
16:38of identity
16:39and ego
16:40because we
16:41do not
16:41have
16:41single
16:42solitary
16:42egos.
16:43We are
16:44a social
16:44animal.
16:45We merge.
16:45This is not
16:45collectivism
16:46because I'm
16:46not saying
16:47that the
16:47group has
16:48rights over
16:49the individual.
16:49I'm not
16:49creating
16:50superior
16:50moral concepts.
16:52I'm just
16:52talking about
16:53the way
16:54that our
16:54brains are.
16:55We overlap
16:55with others
16:56and to think
16:57that your
16:58identity
16:58or my
16:59identity
16:59are diminished
17:01by thinking
17:02about and
17:02working with
17:03others
17:04is the
17:05result of
17:06pure
17:06propaganda
17:08that other
17:08groups in
17:09society,
17:09they get to
17:10work together
17:10but particularly
17:11white males,
17:12of course,
17:12we all know
17:12this one these
17:13days.
17:13White males
17:14are supposed
17:14to be atomized
17:15individuals and
17:16can't work
17:16together and
17:17boy,
17:17if you work
17:17with other
17:18people,
17:18if you think
17:19about other
17:19people,
17:20that diminishes
17:20you.
17:21Like these
17:22horrible women,
17:23what is it,
17:24women in cars
17:25and ranting,
17:26these horrible
17:27women who are
17:27like,
17:27I've been a
17:28mother for 20
17:28years and all
17:29I ever do is
17:30think of other
17:30people and nobody
17:31ever thinks of
17:32me.
17:35I mean,
17:35my wife says
17:36that she wakes
17:36up in the
17:37morning,
17:37she thinks
17:37of me,
17:38she thinks
17:39of our
17:40daughters,
17:40she thinks
17:40of close
17:41friends,
17:42how to make
17:42their lives
17:43better and
17:44it's a
17:44beautiful thing
17:45and she's
17:45really taught
17:46me that
17:47that's where
17:47the real
17:47happiness and
17:48contentment and
17:49security and
17:51connection in
17:52life is.
17:53We are not
17:54designed to
17:54live alone.
17:55There is no
17:56such thing as
17:57an identity
17:58that manifests
17:59unburdened by
18:01the needs,
18:01hopes,
18:01desires and
18:02preferences of
18:03others.
18:04Our identities
18:05are manifested
18:07in thinking of
18:08others and
18:09having them
18:09think of us.
18:10Of course,
18:11you don't want
18:11to spend your
18:11whole life
18:12thinking of
18:13others,
18:13slaving for
18:13others and
18:15never get any
18:16reciprocity.
18:16That's wrong.
18:17That's bad.
18:17I get that.
18:18That's no good.
18:18That's no good.
18:19I'm not advocating
18:20for that.
18:21Reciprocity is
18:22key.
18:22If thinking of
18:23others is a
18:23virtue, and it
18:25is, then having
18:26others think of
18:27you is also a
18:27virtue.
18:28But do not
18:29imagine that you
18:30are diminished
18:31by thinking of
18:33others and
18:34striving to help
18:36improve their
18:36lives.
18:37You are not
18:37diminished by
18:38that.
18:39I am thinking
18:40of you, the
18:41audience, and
18:43trying to
18:43communicate in a
18:44way that improves
18:46your lives.
18:46Does that make
18:47me less?
18:49Has that taken
18:49away from me?
18:50Has that
18:50diminished me?
18:52Am I a fixed
18:53quantity?
18:54And when I
18:55hand out words,
18:57time, care,
18:58thoughts, virtues,
18:59and attention to
19:00the world, am I
19:00diminished?
19:01Am I made less
19:03virtuous?
19:05Less verbose?
19:07Less myself?
19:08By giving ideas,
19:10arguments, and
19:11wisdom to the
19:12world?
19:12Of course not.
19:13I become a
19:14better person by
19:16verbalizing virtue
19:18to the world.
19:19It reminds me.
19:20It impacts me
19:22for the better.
19:23I am not losing
19:24out in doing
19:26this.
19:27I am gaining
19:29everything.
19:30I do not
19:31diminish myself
19:33by pouring my
19:34heart, mind, and
19:35soul into the
19:36world.
19:37What virtues
19:39you feed to the
19:39world also
19:41nourish yourself.
19:43And if you
19:44hoard your
19:44communication and
19:45virtues and
19:45thoughts and
19:46cares and
19:47emotions and
19:47passions from
19:48the world,
19:51everything just
19:52dies within
19:52you.
19:53We have all
19:53seen it if
19:54we are older
19:54and we are
19:54honest.
19:55The people who
19:56refuse to
19:57participate in
19:57the world,
19:58the people who
19:58refuse to be
20:00kind, thoughtful,
20:01and generous in
20:01the world,
20:03it is like
20:04hoarding
20:04perishable goods.
20:06It is a line
20:07from my novel,
20:08The God of
20:09Atheists, where
20:09people are
20:10making fun of
20:12virgins in
20:12their 30s,
20:13female virgins
20:14in their 30s.
20:15It is a little
20:15coarse, it is a
20:16little crass, it is
20:17a little cruel, but
20:18one of them
20:18comments about
20:21aging female
20:22virgins, the
20:23intense guarding
20:24of food long
20:25rotted.
20:26The intense
20:27guarding of
20:28food long
20:30rotted.
20:31Now, if you have
20:32been around a
20:32bunch of
20:32exploiters, and
20:33some of us were
20:34raised in that
20:36mindset, if you have
20:37been around a lot
20:38of exploiters, then
20:38you recognize that
20:40thinking of others
20:41diminishes yourself
20:41because they take
20:42and take and take
20:43and don't think of
20:44you back and
20:44don't return anything
20:45back, but then
20:45what you do is
20:46you go out into
20:46the world, and
20:47we've all had this
20:48temptation, if we've
20:49been raised by
20:50exploiters, we go
20:51out into the
20:51world and say,
20:51I've got a hoard,
20:53I've got a hoard,
20:54I've got to hold
20:54on, I've got to
20:55not let, oh, I've
20:56got to keep the
20:56stuff, I've got a
20:58guard, people are
20:59going to take, and
21:00never give anything
21:01back.
21:01Now, if people take
21:02and don't give
21:03anything back, then
21:03yes, thinking of
21:05others diminishes
21:06you, for sure, for
21:07sure, for sure.
21:09If you go to the
21:10grocery store and
21:11you pay them a
21:11hundred dollars and
21:12they don't give you
21:13any groceries, well
21:14then, by golly, you're
21:15down a hundred dollars,
21:16I get that that's
21:16bad, and then don't
21:17go to that grocery
21:18store, don't be
21:18around people who
21:19don't reciprocate.
21:20But when they do
21:21reciprocate, you're
21:23in heaven, you're in
21:24heaven.
21:25And, if you go out
21:27into the world and
21:28you treat people as
21:29if they're exploitive
21:30abusers, you end up
21:32forever and ever
21:32alone, amen.
21:35Now, why don't
21:38women really want to
21:39be mothers these days?
21:40Why are they so
21:40easy to propagandize
21:41into antinatalism?
21:43It seems kind of
21:43counterintuitive,
21:44doesn't it?
21:45And then I'll give
21:46you my theory, I'm
21:47happy to hear your
21:47thoughts.
21:49I would say it goes
21:50a little something
21:51like this.
21:52Women have a sex
21:54drive and maternal
21:56instincts.
21:58Now, having a high
22:00sex drive for men
22:01and for women is a
22:03way of guaranteeing
22:04that children will be
22:05born.
22:06Again, evolutionarily
22:07speaking, there was
22:07no way to avoid
22:10procreative sex without
22:11procreation.
22:13I mean, there were
22:14sheep's bladder,
22:16condoms, and other
22:17sorts of things
22:18throughout history, but
22:19if you want to put
22:20your dick into sheep's
22:21innards before it goes
22:22into a woman, I can
22:23only say that you
22:24come from a culture
22:25that is fairly foreign
22:26to the West, to put
22:27it as nicely as
22:28possible.
22:29It's bad.
22:32So, nature evolved a
22:33high sex drive in order
22:36to guarantee that there
22:37would be children.
22:39Now, let's look at how
22:40tribes operated
22:41throughout history.
22:43Tribes operated on
22:46irrational, narcissistic,
22:49vainglorious lies.
22:51My tribe is infinitely
22:52better than your tribe.
22:54My tribe has been
22:55chosen by God to rule
22:56over your tribe.
22:57The gods are on my
22:58side.
22:59We're better.
23:00You're bad.
23:01My team is better.
23:02My culture is better.
23:04My history is better.
23:05My habits and practices
23:07and music is better.
23:09Blah, blah, blah.
23:11And all of that is
23:12fairly irrational.
23:12It's hard to look back
23:14throughout human history
23:14at the scurvy, constant
23:18battle and overturning
23:19and wars and say, oh,
23:21there's one better than
23:21the other.
23:22I mean, imagine going
23:23back to fights among the
23:25aborigines in Australia
23:2640,000 years ago or to
23:29the various battles
23:31occurring among the
23:33indigenous populations of
23:34North or Central or
23:35South America and say,
23:37well, these guys were
23:38good.
23:39They're virtuous.
23:39And these guys are bad.
23:41And I mean, certainly
23:42the Aztecs were perceived
23:44as pretty bad by the
23:46local population in
23:48Central America because
23:49South America because
23:51they all joined with
23:52Cortez and his couple
23:53hundred Spaniards.
23:54It wasn't like a couple
23:55hundred Spaniards took
23:56down the entire Aztecs,
23:57but hundreds of thousands
23:58of local tribes joined
24:00together with the
24:01Spanish to take down the
24:02Aztecs because the
24:03Aztecs were, I mean,
24:04obviously vicious and
24:05evil and cruel, but it
24:06wasn't like all the
24:07other tribes were noble
24:09and heroic and
24:09virtuous and moral and
24:10understood property
24:11rights and the
24:12non-aggression piece
24:13and things like that.
24:14It was just, it was
24:16like sports teams.
24:17I mean, each sports
24:19team wants to win, but
24:20it's not like one is
24:21virtuous and one is
24:21bad.
24:22They always try and
24:23join these two things
24:24together in movies,
24:26right?
24:26Movies are like, well,
24:28the karate kid is good,
24:29but that other guy is
24:30just a real bully.
24:31It's bad.
24:32It's a battle of good
24:33versus evil.
24:34That's what they always
24:34say, right?
24:35The Japanese historically
24:37thought they were
24:38wonderful and noble and
24:41virtuous and dominant.
24:43Well, they were dominant
24:44in a lot of ways, and they
24:46were just, I mean, evil as
24:47a whole.
24:48I mean, there's a reason
24:49why in South Korea they
24:51cheered when Oppenheimer's
24:53bomb went off over Hiroshima.
24:56The rape of Nanking, the
24:58torture of the South African,
25:00Australian, and sometimes
25:02American prisoners of war
25:03are vicious, vicious stuff.
25:05So, each tribe thought it
25:07was superior, and how was
25:09that superiority transmitted
25:11to the children?
25:13Well, culture generally is
25:16transmitted by mothers and
25:20enforced by males.
25:23Now, can you implant
25:27narcissistic superiority in
25:28your children if you deeply
25:31love them and love the truth?
25:33Nope, you can't.
25:35You have to say, we're the
25:36greatest, which, you know,
25:38everyone knows deep down is,
25:40I mean, from almost all of
25:41human history, it's pretty much
25:42a lie.
25:42You have to say, well, no,
25:44we're the greatest, we're
25:45chosen by God, we're superior,
25:47we're the best, right?
25:48Say all of that to your
25:49kids.
25:50And why do you say that?
25:53Well, you say that because if
25:54you don't say that as a
25:55mother, you'll be ostracized by
25:57the other mothers.
25:59If you're deeply ensconced in a
26:03very religious group, and you
26:06say, well, I love truth, and I
26:07love my children, and I don't
26:09want to inflict my beliefs upon
26:10them, I want to ask them and
26:12reason through things together,
26:13then you will very quickly be
26:15kicked out of that group.
26:17Because the other mothers
26:18will be like, whoa, whoa,
26:19whoa, whoa, whoa, shark of
26:20truth in the water, kids, get
26:22out of the water, get to the
26:24beach, the shark of truth is
26:27chomping out there, run, swim.
26:31Someone is questioning whether
26:32we're automatically the best,
26:34someone is questioning whether
26:35ghosts are real, someone is
26:38questioning the irrationality that
26:40binds us all together and makes
26:41us a disciplined unit, a brutal
26:43survival.
26:45There are questions, and culture
26:48is anti-rational answers, and the
26:50questions are hunting the
26:52culture, and if you let, and
26:54listen, I sympathize, I really do
26:57sympathize, because if you let the
27:00questions hunt the culture and win,
27:02the culture disintegrates, the
27:05cohesion disintegrates, and then you
27:06end up being taken over by people
27:09who more effectively brutalize and
27:12inflict lies upon their children.
27:14I get that.
27:15I'm not a fool.
27:17I understand that.
27:19Rational, empirical, philosophical
27:21curiosity, I mean, if it gave
27:25advantages to tribes, it wouldn't be
27:28so universally hated and attacked by
27:30tribes.
27:31I get.
27:32Brutal, child abuse, neglect,
27:36irrational, infliction of false
27:39narratives, we're good because we
27:42wear blue, they're evil because
27:43they wear red, it has obviously a
27:46survival metric.
27:48And, I mean, we can see this playing
27:50out in the West.
27:51We've got groups who are in-group
27:53preference, and then we have groups
27:55who are universalists, right?
27:57Generally, the Gruco-Roman Christians,
28:00Europeans, and so on, tend to be
28:01universalists.
28:02Other cultures tend to be more in-group
28:04preference.
28:06I get all of that.
28:07It just, for me, it, it's truth
28:10or bust.
28:11It's truth or bust.
28:13To just be another petty tribalist
28:18fighting endless, pointless wars
28:19against other petty tribalists, I
28:22mean, not worth it.
28:24We have to get to the truth, and if it
28:25doesn't happen this cycle of history,
28:27but we lay the foundation for the
28:28next cycle of history, we gotta strive
28:31for better, we gotta strive for more,
28:34rather than just hyper-cunning,
28:37cultural apes, beasts.
28:41So, for mothers, you've got a very
28:43strong sex drive, as do men, and that
28:47gets you the kids.
28:48Now, if you truly love your kids, and
28:51in the way that I talk about love, love
28:53is our involuntary responsive virtue,
28:55if we're virtuous, then you want to
28:57teach your kids rational virtues and
29:00consistent integrity and ethics and
29:02thinking for themselves and reasoning
29:04and so on, right?
29:05Now, if you were to teach your
29:09children those philosophical values
29:10and virtues, you will be almost
29:13immediately ostracized by the other
29:17mothers and the fathers, and then your
29:19children won't have anyone to date
29:22and mate with, and that bloodline ends.
29:29So, you have to have, as a mother,
29:32hostility to your children's
29:34independent reason in order to ensure
29:37their genetic survival.
29:38In other words, you have to hate
29:40their curiosity and truth and love
29:43their compliance and subjugation to
29:45the irrational cultural absolutes or
29:48anti-rational cultural absolutes.
29:50So, you have to hate their independence
29:52and rational thought, and you have to
29:54withhold affection from them unless
29:56they comply with your irrational
29:59absolutes.
30:01So, parents are not evolved to deeply
30:06love and respect and treasure independent
30:08rational thought in their children.
30:11We have evolved to inflict anti-rational
30:15cultural absolutes on our children, and
30:17what that means is that, as a parent, and
30:23as a mother in particular, because this
30:24stuff is all hard-wired in when we're
30:26young, or soft-wired in, I should say.
30:28Hard-wired is being born, but soft-wired
30:29in as the cultural absolutes.
30:31As a mother, you have to be brutally
30:35willing to withhold affection from your
30:39children until they comply.
30:43You know, the scene, the famous scene,
30:46O'Brien and Winston Smith in 1984.
30:49The party tells you how many fingers it's
30:53holding up, and we will punish you until
30:57not only do you say whatever number the
31:01party tells you, but you believe it.
31:04Well, this is an example of how culture is
31:08inflicted upon the young.
31:10It's one of the reasons why that scene is
31:12so powerful.
31:13And cultural absolutes were inflicted upon
31:16Eric Blair, who was George Orwell, of
31:18course, when he was a kid, if you read his
31:21essay on boarding school, and the same
31:23thing was done to me in boarding school,
31:26though I'm sure slightly less brutally than
31:28him, who was in boarding school decades
31:30before I was, and I'm sure it was even
31:32harsher, back when Eric Blair was going.
31:36So you cannot unconditionally love your
31:39children, as a mother, you have to
31:42conditionally love them, or provide
31:45affection when they comply, withhold
31:47affection or punish them when they don't
31:49comply, and that way you train them in
31:52the absolute anti-rationality of cultural
31:54absolutes that are necessary for their
31:56survival in an amoral world.
32:00Now, if you say to women, well, you gotta
32:06be nicer as parents, you can't just
32:09brutalize your children to inflict cultural
32:11absolutes upon them, because that's been
32:14more the norm over the last, gosh, I
32:19mean, you could argue that it really
32:21started with, you know, Dickens popularized
32:24the idea that we should be more sensitive
32:25and thoughtful towards children.
32:28He was a writer, of course, kind of a
32:32brutal man himself, and not a great father,
32:34to put it mildly, but he did write, for
32:36the first time in human history, he really
32:37wrote sensitively about the experience of
32:40society from a child's perspective, and
32:43was a huge turning point in the history of
32:46the West, and was so popular because people
32:49remember what it was like to be brutalized as
32:51children.
32:56So, women, of course, want to have sex, sex leads to
33:00children, and then they have to be willing to be
33:03brutally cold towards their children, or their
33:05children will not survive.
33:06They have to brutally train their children in
33:08cultural absolutes, anti-rational, non-empirical,
33:11we're the best, they're the worst, blah, blah, blah, our God,
33:14you're God.
33:15Our songs, our songs are beautiful, their songs are just
33:18noise, our dances are beautiful, their dances are just
33:21jumping around, our religion is the best, their
33:24religion is the worst, ours is the truth, theirs is
33:27falsehood, our profit is real, their profit is a false
33:29profit, blah, blah, blah, yeah, all of that, right?
33:32And if they don't inflict these anti-rational cultural
33:35absolutes on their children, their children will not
33:38survive, will not flourish, will not reproduce, will not
33:40be successful.
33:41They have to.
33:42They have to.
33:43Which means that the maternal instinct of protecting
33:48children, evolutionarily speaking, means being incredibly
33:52harsh to children who don't swallow the jagged pill of
33:57anti-rational cultural absolutes.
34:00To love your children means to hurt your children.
34:04To love your children means to neglect, be cold, to hit, to
34:10scream, to yell, and of course we all know this, right?
34:11And I've talked to people for decades about their
34:15childhoods, and we kind of know the cliché of the
34:20exasperated, stressed-out, screaming mom, because
34:23she's desperate for her children to survive, and
34:26throughout most of human evolution that survival meant
34:30swallowing, internalizing, and ending up believing a
34:33bunch of nonsense that's easily disprovable with five
34:35seconds or ten seconds of rational thought or empirical
34:38evidence.
34:39To go against the dictates of reason and evidence is
34:43required for the children to survive, and therefore she
34:47cannot unconditionally love her children as they are, she
34:51must be willing, at the drop of a hat, to punish, attack, scream
34:57at, and even brutalize her children, in order to get them to
35:00fall in line with the cultural absolutes required for them to
35:05date and mate and reproduce.
35:08So, women cannot love motherhood.
35:11And men cannot love fatherhood, but it's Mother's Day, so we're
35:13talking about that.
35:14Women cannot love motherhood because motherhood involves,
35:20evolutionarily speaking, historically speaking, and of course in a lot of
35:23cultures around the world now, and I'm not talking about non-European
35:27cultures.
35:28I mean, in the European cultures, the mothers are brutally inflicting the
35:31woke stuff on their kids, particularly their daughters.
35:36And what's happened is, of course, women teach their daughters how to appeal to
35:43resource providers, because with sex drives, women are going to get, they're
35:49going to have sex, they're going to get pregnant, young women, and they need
35:51resource providers.
35:53So, mothers are programmed to teach their daughters how to appeal to resource
35:59providers.
36:00Now, resource providers used to be males.
36:05Now, it's governments.
36:07So, mothers are teaching their children how to appeal to resource providers, and
36:11that means being leftist, being woke, because that appeals to the government,
36:17particularly single mothers.
36:20single mothers survive from the government, and therefore, they teach their
36:26daughters to be pleasing to the government.
36:27It's a hack.
36:28It's a hardwired thing.
36:30So, evolutionarily speaking, historically speaking, mothers have to brutalize
36:36their children into conformity with anti-rational absolutes, which means they
36:43have to be pretty nasty, pretty hostile, pretty broken, pretty distant, willing to turn affection
36:51on and off to help program their children and say, well, right now you need me for survival,
36:57so you have to please me.
36:58And if you don't please me, I will mess you up.
37:01And that's because in the future you have to please the tribe or you will not survive.
37:04The price of gaining the protection of the tribe is subjugating yourself to the irrational
37:09absolutes of the tribe.
37:11Sorry, evolution wins.
37:13That's what we've got to do.
37:15So, do women love being mothers?
37:18Well, you can't.
37:21Evolutionarily speaking, you have to have your children survive.
37:25That's the evolutionary absolute.
37:28And to have your children survive, you have to harm them because you can't reason them
37:34into anti-rational cultural absolutes.
37:38The cult of culture.
37:40You can't reason people any more than you can reason people on a sports team into thinking
37:45that they're moral and all the other sports teams are evil.
37:48You can't reason people into that.
37:50I mean, they try that again with art.
37:52But, you have to brutalize your children and violate their minds in order to have them
37:57survive and gain the protection of the tribe through subjugation to the tribal absolutes.
38:03And, unless you're a sadist, which not many people are, you're not going to be very happy
38:09or you're not going to enjoy it very much, brutalizing your children.
38:14That if your children do something that might displease the tribe in the future, you hit them,
38:19yell at them, scream at them, punish them, withhold food from them, or freeze them out
38:24through neglect, which is really terrifying for children.
38:27Because, without parental affection and resources, they can't survive at all.
38:32Neglect is a death threat to children.
38:35I'm not kidding about that.
38:36That's not hyperbole.
38:37Neglect is a death threat for children.
38:39So, do women enjoy being mothers?
38:43Well, I don't think so.
38:46Because, motherhood, evolutionary speaking, was regularly brutalizing children to get them
38:52to discard reason and evidence and conform with tribal absolutes.
38:56We see this all over.
38:57This is not theoretical.
38:58We see this all over the place.
38:59In the world, right?
39:01Children of this religion believe this religion.
39:03Children of that religion believe that religion.
39:06Children from this location believe this location is full of all these wonderful people,
39:10and other locations are full of terrible people, and the other locations believe the same.
39:13We get it, right?
39:14We get it.
39:15I'm not even criticizing that.
39:18I mean, we evolved from brutal animals.
39:22Chimpanzees wage war of territory and resource holding against each other, right?
39:28The natural state of nature is unreasoning, bloody dominance.
39:34We've got to evolve out of that.
39:36We've got to be clear about what's happening.
39:39So, there are things that women really enjoy.
39:41Travel.
39:42Seems to be a big one.
39:43Travel.
39:44Being attractive to men.
39:46People don't generally understand that being attractive to men is a turn-on for women.
39:51Of course, it should be, right?
39:53You've got to please the resource providers.
39:55Because you're going to have kids, and kids can't survive without the resource.
39:58You've got to please the resource providers, right?
40:01So, for women, it's a turn-on to be attractive to men.
40:05And now, women have the kind of male attention that was normally reserved for Helen of Troy in the past.
40:13I mean, I was in a school of maybe 2,000 kids, maybe 2,500 kids.
40:19And there was one it girl.
40:21I still remember her name.
40:22There was one it girl.
40:24And I even remember this in boarding school.
40:26In boarding school, we were segregated.
40:29Males and females.
40:30We still knew who the it girl was.
40:31I can still pick her out.
40:33I got a photo somewhere of myself in boarding school when I was six.
40:36I can still pick out the it girl.
40:38And so, the it girl got attention from like, I don't know, a thousand guys.
40:45I mean, some gay guys in there, some asexual guys or whatever.
40:48So, she would get attention from like, 800 to 1,000 guys.
40:52You know, average three days on hinge.
40:55So, every girl now gets the sexual excitement of being the it girl.
41:00Every girl is the it girl because every girl can get attention
41:03from hundreds or thousands of males in any given week.
41:07That's fun.
41:08Travel is fun.
41:10Materialism is fun.
41:11Consuming is fun.
41:13Buying is fun.
41:15Thrifting is fun.
41:18Having guys pursue you is fun.
41:20Going on dates is fun.
41:25Motherhood, is it fun?
41:26And this is not to say, oh, it's shallow and frivolous.
41:30I'm not trying to say any of that.
41:32It's just that travel, materialism, being attractive, going on dates,
41:37all of that is fun.
41:40And women instinctively know that if they become mothers,
41:44they're going to face a lot of conflict.
41:46In the past, there really wasn't that much conflict, right?
41:50If you were raised among the Amish,
41:52then as a mother, you would simply inflict the Amish values or whatever.
41:55It could be any group or culture or religion.
41:58You know, you can inflict the Amish values on your kids
42:01and your kids are then going to be accepted by the other parents
42:04and they're going to be Amish and, right, not that much conflict now.
42:08Multiculturalism and also the new atheism and libertarianism and wokeism.
42:16Now, it's just you're going to run into conflicts no matter what.
42:19In the past, parenting was more fun
42:22because you had absolute authority over instructing your children
42:26and you could tell them we're the good, they're the bad
42:31without any particular conflict
42:33because you were ensconced or enmeshed within a tribe,
42:36didn't have contact with other tribes, other belief systems,
42:39other virtues and values.
42:40So you could do all of that.
42:43Now, I mean, if you're conservative,
42:45you're going to send your kid to public school
42:46that they're going to be hit with all of the woke brain rot.
42:50If you're woke, then heaven forbid your sons get online,
42:54hit the manosphere and get enmeshed in opinions
42:57that go contrary to your own.
42:59And women, as a whole, have evolved to escalate punishment
43:03and coldness in order to get conformity
43:07but that's because they had a monopoly
43:11and they knew for absolute certain
43:14that without that monopoly, without that uniformity,
43:17their children wouldn't survive, wouldn't reproduce.
43:19They don't have that anymore,
43:21which is very stressful for women,
43:23which is why women tend to,
43:25mothers tend to yell, scream, escalate, get cold.
43:29I saw this video of this mother
43:33who had to buy a $157 lock
43:37to put on the bathroom
43:38because her son kept messing up the bathroom
43:42and he wouldn't listen and he wouldn't clean it
43:44and it was vile in there.
43:47I can't even bend the towels.
43:50And he wouldn't listen, he wouldn't clean it up.
43:52Later, Mom, later.
43:53I'll do it later, Mom.
43:54And so she ended up buying a lock,
43:57exasperated, frustrated.
43:59Women are designed, mothers are designed,
44:04to brutalize their children's rational integrity
44:08in order to give them the chance
44:10of surviving and reproducing
44:11in a monocultural belief system.
44:14When you get all of this multicultural stuff
44:17and opposing beliefs,
44:18women get increasingly desperate and frustrated
44:21because they feel a very strong urge
44:23to have their children conform to them
44:26for reasons of survival,
44:27which we can all view as honorable
44:28or at least as necessary,
44:29which is, you know,
44:31we had to develop to the point
44:32where we have honor
44:33and to do that,
44:35we had to develop out of necessity.
44:38Necessity is the foundation, right?
44:40Necessary but not sufficient for honor.
44:42So women are really frustrated,
44:45really tense,
44:47especially if they are raising sons
44:51without fathers, right?
44:53Without husbands.
44:54Because, I mean,
44:55I'll just be brutally honest.
44:55I thought about this last night
44:56and I thought,
44:57oh, should I talk about it in the show tomorrow?
44:58And I'm like, yeah, well, sure, why not?
45:01And maybe this was just my experience.
45:03I don't think it's just my experience
45:04and you can certainly let me know what you think,
45:06but it's kind of tough to be disciplined
45:10by a mother
45:11when you get into your teenage years
45:13because you get pretty hulking.
45:15I mean, I'm almost six foot tall,
45:19190 pounds,
45:20not much fat.
45:22And when I was a teenager,
45:23I was on every sports team known to man.
45:27I did squash,
45:28badminton,
45:29cross-country running,
45:30water polo,
45:31swim team.
45:32I just did all the sports.
45:33Baseball,
45:34soccer.
45:35Loved it.
45:36And I was, you know,
45:37pretty,
45:38I wasn't like a big muscular guy.
45:39I wasn't like doing weights.
45:40I know, actually,
45:41I started doing weights in my teens.
45:42There's a picture of me
45:43doing weights in my teens
45:45on my balcony.
45:47And,
45:47so,
45:48and, you know,
45:49my mom is
45:51all over
45:52buck five,
45:53dripping wet.
45:53And it just,
45:54to submit
45:56to someone
45:57you're way bigger than
45:58just goes against the male grain.
46:00It just does.
46:01It just does.
46:03We just,
46:03we hate doing it.
46:04We don't want to do it.
46:04We won't do it.
46:05And so you fight.
46:07You submit when you're smaller,
46:08but when your mom
46:09is wagging her finger
46:10up at your nose
46:11rather than down
46:12at your forehead,
46:13it's just a whole different
46:14power dynamic.
46:15Doesn't really happen
46:15with the fathers as much.
46:17It's really hard
46:18as a boy,
46:20as a young man,
46:21as a teenager,
46:22to take orders
46:23from someone
46:23you could very easily
46:25ignore physically.
46:26It just doesn't make any sense.
46:28It's like seeing,
46:30you know,
46:30one of those hulking
46:31grade 12 kids
46:33be bullied
46:34and pushed around
46:35by some 70 pound kid
46:37in grade 6.
46:37It just doesn't,
46:38that's not what happens.
46:39It just doesn't make sense.
46:41So,
46:41are women enjoying motherhood?
46:43Given their programming,
46:44given what is necessary,
46:45given the
46:46coldness and cruelty
46:48that is
46:49evolutionary being needed
46:50for their children's survival
46:52and given that
46:53the only way
46:54to survive
46:56multiculturalism
46:56is through rationality.
46:58I'm working on
46:59a whole documentary
47:00on this at the moment
47:01and if you do want
47:02to help out the show
47:03at freedomain.com
47:04slash donate,
47:04I really would appreciate it.
47:05I really would appreciate it.
47:07The only way
47:08to survive multiculturalism
47:09is through rationality
47:11because when you had
47:12a monopoly on culture,
47:13which we evolved to have,
47:15then kids really
47:16weren't doing things
47:17very different
47:17from your kids.
47:19Well, so-and-so
47:20across the street,
47:21he's allowed to play
47:22on this day.
47:23No, no, this day,
47:23the holy day,
47:24we can't play,
47:24but he's allowed to, right?
47:25Whereas if every kid
47:26is not playing
47:27on the holy day,
47:28then it's a whole lot
47:29easier to maintain.
47:30It's stressful, man.
47:32It's brutal
47:33for moms out there
47:34and fathers too,
47:34but again,
47:35it's Mother's Day.
47:35So, I'm saying this
47:36with sympathy.
47:37So,
47:38why don't women
47:39want to become mothers?
47:41Well, because
47:42there's not enough reason
47:43in the world
47:44for them to reason
47:45with their children
47:46and it goes
47:46against the grain.
47:48Not because women
47:49are irrational,
47:49but because all tribes
47:51were anti-rational
47:52and women had to inflict
47:53that anti-rationality
47:54on kids
47:55in order for their kids
47:56to survive.
47:57That's what they're
47:57programmed to do.
47:59So, why is hedonism
48:01replacing,
48:02quote,
48:02self-sacrifice?
48:04Because women
48:05don't have answers
48:06as to how to be a mother
48:07in a multicultural environment.
48:09I mean, again,
48:09men don't really either,
48:11so, but we're just
48:11talking about Mother's Day,
48:12we're talking about
48:12the mothers.
48:13I say this with sympathy.
48:15I say this with sympathy.
48:16Women are programmed
48:18to take in stray children
48:20and when they hear
48:20refugee,
48:21migrant,
48:22fleeing,
48:23global warming,
48:24they want to take them in.
48:26Sure.
48:27Because
48:28in a tribe,
48:29within a tribe,
48:30you know,
48:30women would die
48:30in childbirth
48:31or get an infection
48:32or die
48:33or something like that
48:34and kids would be
48:35astray,
48:35you've got to take them in.
48:37I write about this
48:38in my novel,
48:39Just Poor.
48:39They're just
48:39the main characters
48:41left on a doorstep
48:42by a passing tinker
48:44and in an unimaginably
48:46harsh world,
48:46she's just taken in.
48:47You just take in
48:49people
48:50and it works
48:51within the same
48:52cultural environment.
48:52It's much less challenging
48:54when extended to
48:55perhaps hostile cultures
48:56and environments.
48:59So it's not that,
49:00oh, women are just shallow
49:01and they just want to travel
49:02and sip coffees
49:04in the shadow
49:06of the Champ de Lisier.
49:07No,
49:07they're just
49:09becoming progressively
49:10frustrating and difficult
49:11and impossible
49:11to become a mother
49:12without reason
49:14and in a multicultural
49:16environment
49:17because
49:18your kid is going
49:19to be exposed
49:20to a bunch of kids
49:21doing things
49:21completely differently
49:22and what do you say?
49:24What do you say?
49:25Which is why women
49:26have gone from
49:27judge harshly
49:28to don't judge.
49:29And women tend to,
49:31I mean for reasons
49:32of obvious evolutionary survival,
49:33tend to comply
49:34with the most aggressive
49:36and this is why
49:37women often have
49:38more sympathy
49:38to more aggressive cultures
49:39and less sympathy
49:40for more reasonable cultures.
49:42Again,
49:42we're just looking
49:43at the evolution.
49:44This is not a blame
49:44situation or scenario.
49:45It's not a judgment
49:46situation or scenario.
49:47We're just looking
49:48at the dominoes
49:48and the cause and effect.
49:50So the only chance
49:51we have
49:53really
49:54is reason.
49:55It's philosophy.
49:56There's a reason
49:56why I'm doing
49:57all of this.
49:58The only chance
49:59we have
49:59is reason.
50:01Objectivity.
50:01Again,
50:02this is core
50:03of the documentary
50:04I've been working
50:05on for the last while
50:07on rational ethics.
50:09I've got about
50:1123 minutes done
50:12so far.
50:14It's a lot of slog
50:15but it's worth it.
50:16It's worth it.
50:17It's reason or bust, man.
50:19Reason has to become robust
50:22or aggression
50:23and anti-rationality
50:24are going to win.
50:26And given the modern technology
50:27they will win
50:28for how long?
50:29Well,
50:30a long,
50:30long time.
50:31I remember being chilled
50:33in some science fiction book
50:34or some book
50:34I was reading
50:35was talking about
50:36the imaginary future
50:37of the party
50:38in 1984
50:39saying their 9,000 year rule.
50:41Could be.
50:43Technology,
50:44you can't put it
50:45back in the bag.
50:47So,
50:48happy Mother's Day,
50:49everyone.
50:49I hope this is helpful.
50:51I hope this
50:51makes sense
50:52and I sympathize
50:53with women out there
50:55and I sympathize
50:55with them
50:55not wanting
50:56to become mothers.
50:57Now,
50:58there are cultures
50:59of course
50:59where women
51:01aren't becoming mothers
51:02that are more monocultural.
51:03Of course,
51:04you can think of
51:04one of the lowest birth rates
51:05I think at a 0.8
51:06or 0.7
51:07or even lower perhaps.
51:09I'm not sure
51:09if the latest data
51:10South Korea.
51:10South Korea is largely
51:11mono-ethnic,
51:12monocultural.
51:14But
51:15women
51:16don't love
51:17being mothers
51:19because
51:19if you love
51:20being a mother
51:21and you
51:22are uniformly
51:23positive
51:23and
51:24helpful
51:24towards your children
51:26then
51:27you won't
51:27be able to
51:28brutalize them
51:29in the way
51:29that your culture
51:30demands for them
51:30to reproduce.
51:32So,
51:32it's not just
51:33the multicultural stuff
51:34I think that
51:34accelerates it
51:35but it is also
51:37women do not
51:39enjoy motherhood
51:40because if women
51:41only enjoy motherhood
51:42and are uniformly
51:43positive towards
51:43their children,
51:44their children
51:44will not be
51:45brutalized to the point
51:46where they can
51:47reproduce in an
51:47anti-rational culture
51:48of which all cultures
51:50are anti-rational.
51:51If it's
51:52rational,
51:53it's not culture.
51:54It's fact,
51:54truth, reason,
51:55evidence,
51:55science,
51:56whatever,
51:57philosophy.
51:58So,
51:59multiculturalism
52:00does
52:01accelerate this
52:02process to some
52:02degree
52:03but
52:04even in
52:05monoculturalist,
52:05mono-ethnic
52:06situations,
52:07women
52:09don't innately
52:10enjoy motherhood.
52:10If you look at,
52:11let's say,
52:12conservative Christian
52:13women
52:14have more kids,
52:16it would be a couple
52:16of generations,
52:17the woke people
52:18would die out
52:18which is why
52:19they need to
52:19import people
52:20but
52:21conservative Christian
52:22women have a lot
52:22more kids
52:23and why?
52:23Well,
52:24it's a commandment
52:25from God
52:25and they tend
52:26to stay in
52:28conservative
52:28Christian circles
52:29where the
52:30coldness that
52:31they have
52:31towards
52:33religious
52:33skepticism
52:34on the part
52:34of their
52:34children
52:35and in
52:35particular
52:36their sons,
52:37you will not
52:38survive without
52:38my approval
52:39and if you
52:39don't obey
52:41my anti-rational
52:42absolutes,
52:42I will withhold
52:43or withdraw
52:44my approval
52:44until you
52:44comply.
52:46It's a brutal
52:47process.
52:48And you could say,
52:49ah, yes,
52:49well, you know,
52:49but you take your
52:50kids to the dentist
52:51and they don't like
52:51that but it's
52:52for the best.
52:53I get all of that
52:54but you can explain
52:54to the kids
52:55the dentistry
52:56stuff.
52:57You know,
52:57bacteria live
52:58under your teeth
52:58and they attack
52:59your enamel
53:00and you get
53:00cavities and
53:01blah, blah, blah,
53:01it's very bad
53:02and so on, right?
53:03So you can explain
53:03all of that
53:05in a rational way.
53:06So I want to
53:07sort of address
53:08a good counter-argument
53:10would be,
53:10ah, you say it's
53:11multiculturalism
53:11but what about
53:12mono-ethnic societies
53:12like Japan
53:13and South Korea
53:14and other places
53:15their birth rates
53:16have collapsed as well?
53:17It's like,
53:17oh, sure, sure.
53:18But we've said
53:19to mothers
53:19stop being brutal.
53:21Okay,
53:22but we haven't
53:23given them
53:24reason yet.
53:25We haven't
53:26given them reason.
53:28Peaceful parenting
53:29in the absence
53:30of UPB
53:31is an
53:32anti-natalist
53:33policy
53:34because we haven't
53:36given mothers
53:37the tools
53:38to teach
53:39their children
53:40right and wrong
53:41from a rational
53:42standpoint
53:44and so they end
53:45up just
53:45getting stressed
53:46and tensed
53:47and kind of
53:47screechy
53:47and, again,
53:48I say this
53:49with great sympathy.
53:50I mean,
53:50if I was half my size
53:51and had to dominate
53:52someone twice my size
53:53I'd probably be
53:54a little screechy too.
53:56There's a reason
53:56why I did UPB
53:57before peaceful parenting.
53:59I did UPB
54:00almost 20 years ago
54:00peaceful parenting
54:01a year or two ago
54:03because you have
54:04to give people
54:04the moral tools
54:05with which to
54:06instruct their children
54:07and that's part
54:08of what my new
54:08documentary is about
54:09is how to teach
54:11kids ethics.
54:13And I did this
54:14many years ago
54:14with a show
54:15called The ABCs
54:16of UPB
54:16How to Teach
54:18Ethics
54:19Rational Ethics
54:20to Kids
54:21But
54:22peaceful parenting
54:23or
54:25gentle parenting
54:26or unparenting
54:28whatever, right?
54:29In the absence
54:30of
54:31rational ways
54:32to teach ethics
54:33to children
54:33it just ends up
54:35kind of chaotic
54:35and feral.
54:36I mean,
54:37it would be like
54:37saying to someone
54:38would you like
54:39to take in a dog
54:40as a newborn
54:41a puppy
54:42and you can
54:43never discipline
54:43it
54:44and you can
54:45never teach
54:45it how to
54:46behave.
54:46Well,
54:47most people
54:47would say
54:47well,
54:48no,
54:48that's just
54:48going to be
54:49kind of chaotic
54:49I don't want
54:51that, right?
54:52So I think
54:52this is one of
54:53the reasons
54:53why women
54:54are avoiding
54:55motherhood
54:56is they deeply
54:56and instinctively
54:57understand
54:58that they don't
54:59have any good
55:00tools to teach
55:01right and wrong.
55:03The brutality
55:04and manipulation
55:05of the past
55:05which was necessary
55:06for our survival
55:07and that's fine
55:08that's no longer
55:09allowed
55:09or approved of
55:10and you've
55:11got to be sweet
55:12and nice
55:13and gentle
55:13and sweetie
55:14we don't do
55:14that and right.
55:16How does that
55:16work with a teenage
55:17boy?
55:17Well,
55:18it doesn't.
55:19A lot of frustration
55:20out there.
55:20I do watch these
55:21videos and again
55:22I know it's not
55:22exactly representative
55:24but the birth rate
55:25is a pretty
55:26absolute metric.
55:27So this is
55:28another reason
55:29why I'm working
55:30on this documentary.
55:32I don't know
55:32what it's going
55:32to be called
55:33yet other than
55:34our last best hope
55:35perhaps.
55:36Maybe our last
55:36best hope.
55:37All right.
55:38So those are my
55:39thoughts on Mother's
55:40Day and I
55:41thank you guys
55:42so much for
55:42dropping by.
55:43I hope that this
55:43was a helpful
55:44talk.
55:45But there are
55:46ways to teach
55:46your children
55:48there are ways
55:48to teach your
55:49children how
55:50to be good
55:51without brutality.
55:52In fact,
55:53really the only
55:54way to teach
55:54your children
55:54to be good
55:55is without
55:57brutality.
55:58All right.
55:58Well,
55:59I'm going to
55:59stop here.
56:00I really do
56:00appreciate everyone's
56:01thoughts and
56:02comments.
56:02Well,
56:03thoughts today,
56:04comments in the
56:05future and
56:07happy Mother's
56:07Day to
56:08everyone.
56:09If you
56:09embrace
56:10UPB,
56:11universally
56:11preferable
56:12behavior,
56:13if you
56:14embrace
56:15peaceful
56:15parenting,
56:16you can
56:16have a
56:17wonderful
56:17time as
56:18a mother.
56:19Part of
56:20my wife's
56:20beautiful
56:21experiences as
56:22a mother is
56:23because we
56:24can teach
56:24our daughter
56:24ethics without
56:26punishment,
56:27reward,
56:27manipulation.
56:28It's
56:29wonderful.
56:29So this is
56:31the lab for
56:31the future.
56:32At least,
56:33that's my
56:33experience.
56:33Have
56:34yourself a
56:34wonderful,
56:35wonderful day,
56:35my friends.
56:35freedomain.com
56:36slash donate to
56:37help out the
56:38show.
56:38You know the
56:39rest.
56:40We'll talk to you
