LET IDIOTS WIN! X/Twitter Livestream

Stefan Molyneux

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux talks about letting idiots win in this 12 June 2026 livestream, arguing that backing down from bad-faith fights, avoiding drama, and teaching kids situational awareness keeps you safe while people who can't control themselves just try to control others. He grounds this in UPB and the fact that moral claims must match reality, so skip the pride and escalation.  0:00:00 Vindication and Lab Origins  0:02:57 Hume’s Is-Ought Problem  0:03:51 Makeup Tutorial Plans  0:06:51 Bridging Is and Ought  0:13:44 After the Pause  0:19:03 Mind, Reality, and Truth  0:21:53 Concepts Must Match Reality  0:25:52 No Ought in Atoms  0:29:08 UPB and Moral Proof  0:32:53 Language Against Itself  0:34:44 UPB Explained Further  0:40:25 Situational Awareness Game  0:45:11 Media Reverses Danger  0:54:31 Avoiding Violent Escalation  1:00:00 Self-Defense and Consequences  1:08:14 Let Idiots Win  1:18:13 Drama Addicts and Control  1:19:55 Closing Calls and Thanks   GET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/  SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneux  Follow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1  GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK! https://peacefulparenting.com/  Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!

Transcript

00:00:01Good evening, good evening, good evening, my friends.

00:00:04Welcome to the 12th of June, 2026.

00:00:07It is time for our Friday Night Live.

00:00:10And it is time...

00:00:15Vindication time!

00:00:16Come on!

00:00:17It's time for vindication.

00:00:18I guess two little things.

00:00:19Two little things.

00:00:20One, do you remember that brave young Scottish woman with the two-hand axes

00:00:25who was trying to protect her friends from the immigrant sexual assaults?

00:00:29Well, she's been vindicated in court,

00:00:31and it turns out that they were monsters who were preying upon children,

00:00:35and so that's been vindicated.

00:00:37Also, Tulsi Gabbard has just declassified documents

00:00:41which apparently show that the U.S. had, ooh, maybe up to 20,

00:00:47maybe 22 biolabs in Ukraine.

00:00:50So, I mean, imagine if Russia or North Korea

00:00:54was opening a bunch of biolabs

00:00:58just over the border in Mexico.

00:01:01I mean, some pretty hinky stuff was going on

00:01:02at the Canadian biolabs in Winnipeg.

00:01:04That's a topic for another time.

00:01:05But imagine if the mortal enemy

00:01:09of

00:01:11the United States,

00:01:12which had constantly

00:01:14lusted and thirsted for its destruction,

00:01:16was opening up a bunch of

00:01:17bio-slash-bioweapons labs

00:01:19right over the border.

00:01:20You don't think America would do something?

00:01:23I mean, they're freaking out over,

00:01:24even though there was a fight against nuclear weapons

00:01:26about Iran

00:01:28potentially having nuclear weapons.

00:01:30What about actual real biolabs

00:01:32right across the border?

00:01:34You don't think America would do something?

00:01:35But we can't ever trust the Ruskies, you know?

00:01:38Can't ever trust the Ruskies.

00:01:43Two things in which I was correct

00:01:49to prognosticate on

00:01:52and was hammered, of course, at the time

00:01:54for talking about.

00:01:57And, oh, I'm sure

00:02:00that all of my restitution...

00:02:01Hang on.

00:02:02Oh, I may just wet finger the wind here.

00:02:04Mmm, mmm, mmm.

00:02:06Tastes like coffee.

00:02:07So, I'm absolutely positive, though,

00:02:10that all of the people

00:02:12who said,

00:02:13it's a filthy lie,

00:02:14any of these things are filthy,

00:02:16so de-platform him

00:02:17and get rid of him

00:02:18and all of that.

00:02:20No, also Dr. Fauci,

00:02:21as far as I understand it,

00:02:23was also being briefed

00:02:24on the potential

00:02:25or significant possibility

00:02:26of the lab origins of COVID

00:02:29in Wuhan.

00:02:30Do you remember

00:02:31how the virus just kind of

00:02:34popped into existence

00:02:35about 400 feet

00:02:36from the early bioweapons lab

00:02:38in the region?

00:02:39Yeah, strange that way.

00:02:40No, no, no.

00:02:40It came from bats

00:02:42800 kilometers away.

00:02:43Yeah, because, you know,

00:02:44bats fly 800 kilometers.

00:02:46They're like migratory birds.

00:02:49They're like all of those butterflies

00:02:51that go down

00:02:51to the giant trees in Mexico.

00:02:53They just float around.

00:02:55They just float around.

00:02:57So, anyway,

00:02:58I would like to get your questions.

00:03:00Richard, I would love

00:03:01to chat with you again.

00:03:02Give me just a minute or two on.

00:03:03I never get to the text questions,

00:03:04which is kind of rude.

00:03:06Kind of rude.

00:03:07So, I'm sorry about that.

00:03:08I do want to get

00:03:09to the text questions.

00:03:10Feel free to throw them in.

00:03:12Good evening.

00:03:14Everybody.

00:03:15Everybody.

00:03:17So,

00:03:19one person asks,

00:03:20how do you bridge

00:03:21Hume's

00:03:22is-ought gap?

00:03:25Hume said

00:03:26that to him

00:03:26it was inconceivable

00:03:27how you could possibly

00:03:28argue logically

00:03:29from what you experience

00:03:30to how you think

00:03:31that experience

00:03:31ought to be.

00:03:33So,

00:03:34I, of course,

00:03:35have

00:03:36an entire

00:03:37History of Philosophers

00:03:38series

00:03:38available to donors.

00:03:40I think it's 23 or 24

00:03:41major philosophers

00:03:43up to,

00:03:44but not including,

00:03:45Immanuel Kant.

00:03:47Couldn't quite get to Kant.

00:03:49Quite get to couldn't.

00:03:51And

00:03:53one of them,

00:03:54of course,

00:03:54is Hume.

00:03:55And you should check this out

00:03:56for donors

00:03:57if you subscribe

00:03:59at

00:03:59freedomain.com

00:04:01slash donate

00:04:02then you get

00:04:03all of these

00:04:04tasty shows.

00:04:06Oh,

00:04:06not to forget

00:04:07Sunday morning,

00:04:08Sunday morning,

00:04:0911 a.m.

00:04:10It is,

00:04:11you know,

00:04:12I like to branch out

00:04:13a little bit,

00:04:14burst into song

00:04:14from time to time.

00:04:15I'm working on

00:04:16some cat's eye dances

00:04:17and also

00:04:19makeup tutorials.

00:04:20Apparently,

00:04:21they're quite a thing.

00:04:22Making bird hands

00:04:24in sunglasses

00:04:25in cars

00:04:26with way too much makeup

00:04:27complaining about men,

00:04:27number one.

00:04:28Number two,

00:04:29makeup tutorials

00:04:31are quite the thing.

00:04:32The last makeup tutorial

00:04:34that we did

00:04:35where I ended up

00:04:36with a second head

00:04:37on my head

00:04:38was very popular.

00:04:40And so,

00:04:41by popular demand,

00:04:42by request,

00:04:44we are now having

00:04:46what will be truly

00:04:47a revelatory

00:04:51exegesis

00:04:52of the makeup tutorial phenomenon.

00:04:55and my daughter

00:04:55will be joining us

00:04:56this Sunday,

00:04:57Sunday morning.

00:04:59And

00:05:01we will be doing makeup.

00:05:02And what that means

00:05:03is she has

00:05:07she's ordered

00:05:08a bunch of stuff.

00:05:11She's ordered

00:05:12a bunch of stuff.

00:05:13And

00:05:15I will confess

00:05:16to being

00:05:16minorly alarmed,

00:05:17which is probably

00:05:18an underreaction,

00:05:20but

00:05:20she has ordered

00:05:21a bunch of stuff

00:05:22which she will be

00:05:23applying

00:05:25to me.

00:05:26I think

00:05:26in layers,

00:05:27I think

00:05:28including

00:05:28sandblasters

00:05:29and rollerblades.

00:05:32She will be

00:05:33applying that.

00:05:34It could be

00:05:34a

00:05:36Bugsy Malone

00:05:37spaghetti cannon

00:05:37or pie cannon.

00:05:39It could be

00:05:39something like that.

00:05:40I assume

00:05:41I will be

00:05:41fairly unrecognizable

00:05:42at the end of it,

00:05:43which means

00:05:44there's a possibility

00:05:45I may be

00:05:46returning to my youth

00:05:48this

00:05:50Sunday morning

00:05:50at 11 a.m.

00:05:51I hope

00:05:51you will

00:05:51come by.

00:05:53She is

00:05:53very funny

00:05:54and

00:05:54it's going

00:05:55to be

00:05:56most enjoyable

00:20:19convention

00:20:20and that

00:20:21seems to

00:20:36have the

00:20:36best dreams

00:20:43my

00:20:44concubines

00:20:48and

00:20:48of course

00:20:49I'm

00:20:50just so

00:20:50dimple

00:20:51cheeked

00:20:52halo

00:20:53naive

00:20:54concubines

00:20:55isn't that

00:20:55what you

00:20:56get wheat

00:20:57off a

00:20:58concubine

00:20:59harvester

00:20:59is that

00:21:00right

00:21:00right

00:21:01oh

00:21:01concubines

00:21:03see

00:21:04oh

00:21:04concubines

00:21:05actually has

00:21:06a concubine

00:21:06is a basic

00:21:07fact of

00:21:07nature

00:21:08like gravity

00:21:10so

00:21:14the answer

00:21:15is

00:21:16if you

00:21:16say

00:21:17you cannot

00:21:18get an

00:21:18ought from

00:21:18an is

00:21:19then anyone

00:21:19who tries

00:21:20to get an

00:21:20ought from

00:21:21an is

00:21:21is incorrect

00:21:22and that's

00:21:23your first

00:21:23rule

00:21:24it's like

00:21:24saying

00:21:24nothing is

00:21:25true

00:21:25well is

00:21:25that true

00:21:26yes

00:21:36giving me

00:21:36an ought

00:21:37from an

00:21:37is

00:21:37which is

00:21:38there is

00:21:38not

00:21:39an ought

00:21:40in the

00:21:41is

00:21:41therefore

00:21:41you shouldn't

00:21:41say that

00:21:42there is

00:21:42and what

00:21:42that means

00:21:43is that

00:21:44concepts

00:21:45in the

00:21:45mind

00:21:45have to

00:21:46accurately

00:29:40behavior

00:29:40because

00:29:41universally

00:29:42preferable

00:29:42behavior

00:29:42is

00:29:43false

00:29:43then

00:29:44they're

00:29:44saying

00:29:44it is

00:29:45universally

00:29:45preferable

00:29:46behavior

00:29:46to

00:29:47promote

00:29:48true

00:29:48theories

00:29:48and not promote false theories, right?

00:29:51So you can't argue against universally preferable behavior.

00:29:55It's like coming up to me and saying,

00:29:57Steph, I'm telling you, you don't exist and language has no meaning.

00:30:02I had this debate just this last week

00:30:04with a guy who gave me intellectual hives.

00:30:07You know, you just get this creepy sense

00:30:08that you're dealing with a crazy, manipulative person.

00:30:10That was my experience.

00:30:11It's out there for donors.

00:30:13It'll go out this weekend, I think.

00:30:14Well, worth listening to, to know when to bail.

00:30:17Well, when to fold them.

00:30:20So you can't argue against universally preferable behavior.

00:30:25You can't argue against property rights

00:30:27because property says, I own myself, you own yourself,

00:30:30and we own the effects of our actions.

00:30:32So if I'm arguing for property and you argue back and you say,

00:30:36Steph, your argument for property is wrong.

00:30:38It's like you just affirmed my entire argument for property.

00:30:43So you just got to freeze frame debates and say,

00:30:45okay, what are all the implicit premises embedded in having a debate?

00:30:50Right?

00:30:52If somebody says to me,

00:30:55Steph, your argument that we own the effects of our actions is wrong.

00:31:00I say, well, whose argument is that?

00:31:02Oh, right, my argument.

00:31:03Therefore, I own the effects of my actions.

00:31:05My argument.

00:31:07Right?

00:31:08You can't argue against UPB.

00:31:10You can't argue against property rights

00:31:13without affirming UPB and affirming property rights.

00:31:17You can't do it.

00:31:19And once you, and I know this takes a little while to massage into the brain

00:31:22because we're looking for some external thing

00:31:24with no reference to what we're doing.

00:31:27This is an example I made like 20 years ago.

00:31:31If I write you a letter saying,

00:31:35letters never get delivered to the right person,

00:31:38I've just detonated my own argument.

00:31:41Because, obviously, if I believe that letters never get addressed to the right person,

00:31:46I wouldn't write you a letter.

00:31:47But the fact that I've written you a letter

00:31:49on the assumption it gets delivered to the right person

00:31:51and the content of the letter

00:31:54is that

00:31:56letters never get delivered to the right person,

00:31:58then the form of the argument contradicts the content of the argument.

00:32:01And that's, I made this 15 years ago.

00:32:03I said this is one of my big contributions to philosophy.

00:32:06It's saying, forget about the content of the argument.

00:32:09Everyone wants to just start engaging with the content of the argument.

00:32:12That's jumping into philosophy midstream, as Ayn Rand used to say.

00:32:17Forget the content of the argument.

00:32:19Look at all of the premises embedded in the form of the argument.

00:32:23Somebody argues with me and says,

00:32:25I don't believe that you exist.

00:32:26Well, then, if you don't believe that I exist,

00:32:28why would you argue with me?

00:32:29If somebody says to me,

00:32:30the senses are invalid,

00:32:33then I would say,

00:32:34why are you using the senses

00:32:36to transmit the idea that the senses are invalid?

00:32:38Because you're requiring my ears to work

00:32:40or my eyes to read.

00:32:42And, therefore,

00:32:43you are relying upon the validity of the senses

00:32:45to argue that the senses are invalid.

00:32:47Right?

00:32:54Somebody can't say language is meaningless.

00:32:58Language is meaningless.

00:33:00Language is meaningless is taking

00:33:04the written and verbal form,

00:33:06I guess it could be sign form as well, braille form,

00:33:08forms of human communication

00:33:09and saying that all forms of communication

00:33:11cannot convey any meaning.

00:33:13And the meaning that I'm using human communication to convey

00:33:15is that human communication cannot convey any meaning.

00:33:19That's a contradictory statement.

00:33:21And you don't argue the content.

00:33:25Right?

00:33:26You argue the form first.

00:33:29Because people will always use the form.

00:33:31It's like counterfeit currency, right?

00:33:33People will try to use the form of the argument

00:33:35to dismantle the possibility of argumentation.

00:33:38But if you're going to tell me,

00:33:40Steph, UPB is wrong

00:33:41and you should stop promoting it,

00:33:43then you've just affirmed UPB.

00:33:44Now, you haven't affirmed all of my moral arguments,

00:33:46but the moment someone corrects you,

00:33:48they're saying it's infinitely preferable

00:33:50to say things that are true,

00:33:52valid, accurate, logical, whatever you say.

00:33:56It's infinitely preferable to say true things

00:34:00than to say false things.

00:34:01So that's UPB.

00:34:03Truth is preferable to error.

00:34:06The moment someone corrects you,

00:34:07the moment someone debates you,

00:34:08the moment someone uses language.

00:34:11Right?

00:34:11Because if they say language is

00:34:13a terrible form of communication,

00:34:15I'd say, okay, then give me your argument mentally.

00:34:17Give me your argument without using language, right?

00:34:23Thank you, John John.

00:34:25I appreciate the tip.

00:34:26I really do.

00:34:27I really do.

00:34:28Just like Socrates himself,

00:34:30working for tips.

00:34:31Coffee and lunch.

00:34:32Well, I guess there was no coffee

00:34:34back in ancient Greece, was there?

00:34:37South America, Africa.

00:34:40I know, Ethiopian coffee can be pretty good.

00:34:42It's a little dry.

00:34:44Anyway, so, yeah, so that's how you get out of it.

00:34:48Now, once you say that the ought is in the relationship

00:34:53between the mind and reality,

00:34:56if you want to say things that are true,

00:34:59then they have to correspond with reason and evidence.

00:35:04That's the ought.

00:35:05The ought is statements claim to be true ought to be true.

00:35:11You say, ah, but you can claim things to be true

00:35:13and have to be false.

00:35:14Sure, absolutely.

00:35:16But then everybody knows that they're false, right?

00:35:19So that's better.

00:35:20That's an improvement.

00:35:21So,

00:35:23the is-ought is in the relationship

00:35:25between the mind

00:35:26and things in reality.

00:35:29Universally preferable behavior

00:35:30can never be overturned

00:35:37because any attempt to overturn

00:35:39universally preferable behavior

00:35:41requires an acceptance

00:35:42of universally preferable behavior.

00:35:44You cannot argue

00:35:45against universally preferable behavior.

00:35:47And so then,

00:35:49universally preferable behavior exists.

00:35:51We just have to define it.

00:35:52It exists and it's valid

00:35:53because you can't argue against it.

00:35:54Now, some people can think,

00:35:56oh, that's wrong.

00:35:56But even if they say

00:35:57that's wrong in their mind,

00:35:58they're still violating UPB.

00:36:01So,

00:36:02no, sorry,

00:36:02they're still affirming UPB.

00:36:04So then we,

00:36:05all we have to do

00:36:07since the ought

00:36:08exists in the relationship

00:36:09between things in the mind

00:36:10and things in the world

00:36:11and universally preferable behavior

00:36:13is a valid concept,

00:36:15all we have to do

00:36:15is define

00:36:16what universally preferable behavior is.

00:36:18That's all.

00:36:21It's real.

00:36:22It's valid.

00:36:23We just have to define what it is.

00:36:25And then that's the

00:36:27four major proofs

00:36:28against rape, theft, assault, murder

00:36:29that are in the book.

00:36:30So,

00:36:31I hope that helps.

00:36:32Thank you so much

00:36:33for a great question.

00:36:34All right.

00:36:35Let us

00:36:37get to

00:36:39a call there.

00:36:41Also,

00:36:41call.freedomain.com

00:36:42call.freedomain.com

00:36:46I know some people

00:36:47have been missing calls lately.

00:36:49I've set up something

00:36:50where you get text reminders

00:36:51because, you know,

00:36:52different time zones and so on,

00:36:53people get confused.

00:36:55So,

00:36:58yes,

00:36:59Richard,

00:37:00you had

00:37:02I'm sorry

00:37:03I didn't get you last time.

00:37:04I'm always

00:37:05what's up, mate.

00:37:06Hey,

00:37:06Stefan.

00:37:07How are you doing, man?

00:37:08Well, how are you doing?

00:37:09I'm fantastic, thanks.

00:37:12I'm not fantastic.

00:37:12Well, I might be fantastic,

00:37:13but, yeah,

00:37:14my life is pretty good.

00:37:16Thanks.

00:37:17Anyway,

00:37:17thanks so much

00:37:18for the explication

00:37:19on UPB there

00:37:21versus

00:37:23non-reality.

00:37:25It's really awesome.

00:37:26Thank you so much for that.

00:37:27I did post a question.

00:37:29I don't know if you read it

00:37:31with respect to

00:37:32the scientific method

00:37:34and UPB,

00:37:35but anyway,

00:37:36I have a comment

00:37:38to make on

00:37:39the Camelo Anthony

00:37:41podcast.

00:37:42I just finished.

00:37:42Well, hang on, sorry.

00:37:43What was your question

00:37:43about UPB and science?

00:37:45I'm sure we can

00:37:45test it pretty quick.

00:37:47Yeah,

00:37:47I posted something.

00:37:48I posted a comment on X.

00:37:50I'm not really on X

00:37:51very much.

00:37:52Oh, on X.

00:37:52Sorry,

00:37:52I thought you meant here.

00:37:54No, yeah,

00:37:54I did post a comment

00:37:55on X

00:37:57a few days ago

00:37:58and I just commented

00:38:00that

00:38:03the correspondence

00:38:04between

00:38:05UPB

00:38:06and the scientific method

00:38:07were basically

00:38:09proofs,

00:38:11you know,

00:38:12additional proofs.

00:38:13You've already made

00:38:13the argument

00:38:13for the proof of UPB

00:38:15and I totally agree

00:38:15with that,

00:38:16but then I just commented

00:38:17that, you know,

00:38:18the scientific method

00:38:19corresponds perfectly

00:38:21with UPB

00:38:22given the fact

00:38:23that the scientific method

00:38:25would not exist

00:38:26if it weren't

00:38:26for the necessity

00:38:28of truth.

00:38:31Anyway.

00:38:32Yes,

00:38:32I'm sorry,

00:38:33just to point out something

00:38:34and hold your thought

00:38:35for a second there.

00:38:36So,

00:38:37science requires

00:38:37that if you're going to

00:38:38say something true

00:38:39and valid about the universe,

00:38:40it has to conform

00:38:41to reason

00:38:42and it has to conform

00:38:43to evidence

00:38:43because the universe

00:38:44is not self-contradictory

00:38:45and you have to measure

00:38:47your predictive

00:38:49expectations

00:38:50of the behavior

00:38:51of matter and energy

00:38:52against what matter

00:38:52and energy

00:38:53actually does

00:38:54and if your

00:38:55proof is logically

00:38:56consistent

00:38:56or your conjectural

00:38:58hypothesis

00:38:58is logically consistent

00:38:59and accurately

00:39:00predicts and explains

00:39:02the behavior of matter,

00:39:03you have a valid

00:39:03scientific theory.

00:39:06It's the same thing

00:39:06with UPB,

00:39:09with ethics.

00:39:10UPB refers to

00:39:11the methodology

00:39:12of reason and evidence

00:39:13and also to specific theories

00:39:16in the same way

00:39:17that science refers

00:39:17to the scientific method

00:39:18and the practice

00:39:19of science

00:39:21by scientists

00:39:21in particular

00:39:22and so

00:39:24UPB simply says

00:39:26if you have a theory

00:39:27about morality

00:39:29and morality

00:39:29is a form of UPB,

00:39:31science is another form

00:39:32of UPB,

00:39:33then it has to be

00:39:34conformed to reason

00:39:35and it has to conform

00:39:36to evidence

00:39:37and I'm,

00:39:39of course,

00:39:39immensely grateful

00:39:40for the scientific method

00:39:41because it's what allows

00:39:42us to communicate

00:39:42and what gives us

00:39:43comfort.

00:39:44Scientific method

00:39:44along with the free market

00:39:46is the greatest gifts

00:39:47that the West

00:39:49in general,

00:39:50not just the West

00:39:51but mostly the West

00:39:51has provided

00:39:52to the world

00:39:53as a whole

00:39:54and therefore,

00:39:55for me,

00:39:55I had to be informed

00:39:56by the value

00:39:58and benefits

00:40:02of the scientific method

00:40:02in designing

00:40:03a system of ethics

00:40:04because the scientific method

00:40:06is one of the most

00:40:06successful formulations

00:40:07of the human mind

00:40:08ever

00:40:09and along

00:40:11with the free market

00:40:14and ethics

00:40:16has to explain

00:40:17why the scientific method

00:40:19has been so effective

00:40:19and why the free market

00:40:20has been so effective

00:40:21and I think UPB does that.

00:40:22So, okay,

00:40:23thanks very much

00:40:23and you had another question.

00:40:25Yeah, yeah,

00:40:26I've got another question.

00:40:27Thanks so much for that.

00:40:28Yeah, I have a comment

00:40:30to make on the

00:40:30Camelo Anthony podcast

00:40:33I just listened to

00:40:34and this is a game

00:40:38I'm suggesting

00:40:39for all the parents

00:40:40out there

00:40:40that they can have

00:40:41with their kids

00:40:42called the game

00:40:43Situational Awareness

00:40:47and, yeah,

00:40:47I'm not talking about

00:40:48the Jason Bourne

00:40:49kind of thing, right,

00:40:50which is fine

00:40:50but I'm talking about

00:40:51a game that you can

00:40:53play with your kids

00:40:55and it's called

00:40:56Situational Awareness

00:40:57and in my experience

00:40:59kids just naturally

00:41:01gravitate towards

00:41:02this game

00:41:03because it's an awesome game

00:41:05they are totally

00:41:06switched on to it

00:41:07from quite an early age

00:41:08actually

00:41:09and you can go out there

00:41:12and play this game

00:41:12and I would say

00:41:14to any parents

00:41:15out there

00:41:15just beware

00:41:17that you're probably

00:41:18going to get your ass

00:41:19kind of whipped

00:41:20in this game

00:41:21because kids are just

00:41:22naturally better

00:41:24at this game

00:41:25than most adults are

00:41:27and, you know,

00:41:28so, and it's

00:41:30an awesome game

00:41:30there's so many variations

00:41:31you can play with kids

00:41:33on this game

00:41:34and they can come up

00:41:35with their own ideas

00:41:36for how to play this

00:41:38and for anybody out there

00:41:39wondering what

00:41:40Situational Awareness is

00:41:41it's basically just

00:41:42a reality awareness game

00:41:45and it's a game

00:41:47that basically

00:41:48it's a game that helps

00:41:49kids filter out

00:41:52the signal

00:41:53from the noise

00:41:53so they can go out

00:41:55into the world

00:41:56and then you can

00:41:57play this game

00:41:57they can come up

00:41:58with their own ideas

00:41:58for it

00:41:59and you can kind of

00:42:00say, okay

00:42:01how many people

00:42:02were sitting in this

00:42:02restaurant

00:42:03or where's the best

00:42:04exit for this restaurant

00:42:06or, you know,

00:42:07all the kind of

00:42:08stuff like that

00:42:09and kids will love

00:42:11this game

00:42:11I guarantee it

00:42:13and you can have

00:42:14so much fun with this

00:42:15and you can kind of

00:42:18even, you can even

00:42:18extend it to like a

00:42:19you know, what's called

00:42:20SDR

00:42:21surveillance detection route

00:42:22where you're taking

00:42:23a bicycle route

00:42:24or in a car

00:42:25or whatever

00:42:26and you can say

00:42:27to your kid

00:42:28oh, which route

00:42:29should we take

00:42:30back to home

00:42:31which will help us

00:42:34detect surveillance

00:42:35or something like that

00:42:37you know, they'll get

00:42:37the game right away

00:42:38and they can come up

00:42:39with all their own

00:42:40variations on this game

00:42:41and it's a great way

00:42:42of helping kids

00:42:47resist unreality

00:42:48and propaganda

00:42:50and all that kind

00:42:51of stuff

00:42:51because it puts

00:42:52kids in direct

00:42:53contact with

00:42:54reality out there

00:42:55and you know, I just

00:42:57want to make

00:42:57you know, I always

00:43:00I so appreciated

00:43:01your deconstruction

00:43:03and then reconstruction

00:43:04of a Carmelo Anthony

00:43:06stabbing

00:43:07because

00:43:08I feel like

00:43:09yeah, that was a

00:43:11great explication

00:43:12of that whole event

00:43:13and

00:43:16so this could really

00:43:17be helpful to

00:43:18you know

00:43:20kids

00:43:20as they develop

00:43:21into adults

00:43:22how to resist

00:43:23these circumstances

00:43:24where they

00:43:26you know

00:43:26can evaluate

00:43:29a situation

00:43:30and then make

00:43:31the right choice

00:43:32so in this case

00:43:33you know, you just

00:43:34kind of go

00:43:34oh, you know what

00:43:35okay, de-escalate

00:43:38get out of there

00:43:39you made the

00:43:40you made the

00:43:41you told the story

00:43:43about when you

00:43:43were with your friend

00:43:45and you were cycling

00:43:46and then he

00:43:47kind of lost it

00:43:48and you

00:43:49had to see

00:43:51yeah, exactly

00:43:52so, you know

00:43:54yeah, so

00:43:55becoming aware

00:43:56of

00:43:56becoming aware

00:43:57of your situation

00:43:58is very, very

00:43:59can be very, very

00:44:00helpful

00:44:01for

00:44:02very helpful

00:44:03it's

00:44:04it's basic survival

00:44:05I don't know

00:44:06if other people

00:44:07do this

00:44:07and of course

00:44:08let me know

00:44:08if you do

00:44:08I do this

00:44:10fairly

00:44:11and not

00:44:12not all the time

00:44:13but a lot

00:44:13of the times

00:44:14like

00:44:14there's a

00:44:15suspension bridge

00:44:17up in

00:44:18northern Ontario

00:44:19and

00:44:20a family friend

00:44:21was visiting

00:44:21and we took her up

00:44:23and we crossed

00:44:23the suspension bridge

00:44:24and I said

00:44:25to the girls

00:44:27my daughter

00:44:27and her friend

00:44:30if the bridge

00:44:30was collapsing

00:44:31where would you

00:44:31jump?

00:44:32Go!

00:44:33Right

00:44:33because you're

00:44:34above the trees

00:44:35which trees

00:44:35I think about

00:44:36this stuff

00:44:37I'm up there

00:44:38I could jump

00:44:39to that

00:44:39I could make

00:44:40it to that tree

00:44:40if the bridge

00:44:41started collapsing

00:44:42I could get there

00:44:43and I think

00:44:44this is just

00:44:45it's a man thing

00:44:46you know

00:44:46there are these memes

00:44:47about this guy

00:44:48and his girlfriend

00:44:49walking through the mall

00:44:50and he's like

00:44:50oh that guy

00:44:51looks a little bit sketchy

00:44:52okay there's an exit

00:44:52over there

00:44:53that old woman

00:44:54is totally safe

00:44:55and he's just

00:44:55situational awareness

00:44:56and she's like

00:44:57dum-de-dum

00:44:58I think I'd like

00:44:59to get a coffee

00:44:59you know

00:45:00just dum-de-dum

00:45:01of what's going on

00:45:02in her head

00:45:02so the situational awareness

00:45:04is a very healthy

00:45:05thing to cultivate

00:45:06and there's a sort of

00:45:07meme among the

00:45:08younger generation

00:45:09like survival skills

00:45:10zero

00:45:11and of course

00:45:12a lot of propaganda

00:45:13is there

00:45:14to try to get you

00:45:16to

00:45:18not see

00:45:19obviously dangerous

00:45:20situations

00:45:21so for instance

00:45:22with

00:45:23Carmelo

00:45:24Anthony

00:45:26he literally said

00:45:27to the people

00:45:28touch me

00:45:29and see what happens

00:45:30he clearly was

00:45:32psychotically belligerent

00:45:34about leaving a tent

00:45:36and actually

00:45:37if somebody did

00:45:38wrote to me

00:45:39and said

00:45:40that you have

00:45:41to stay

00:45:41in the tent

00:45:42when it's raining

00:45:43I think it was

00:45:43in Texas

00:45:44because there could

00:45:45be lightning

00:45:45or storms

00:45:46so maybe

00:45:46it's a requirement

00:45:47I don't know

00:45:47so maybe

00:45:48you know

00:45:48that was more

00:45:50essential than I thought

00:45:51who knows

00:45:51right

00:45:52but

00:45:54this

00:45:54this kid

00:45:56the

00:45:56the black kid

00:45:57was clearly

00:45:59not listening

00:46:00not doing reasonable

00:46:01things

00:46:02fighting

00:46:02threatening

00:46:04escalating

00:46:06ah

00:46:06right

00:46:07I mean

00:46:08it's clear

00:46:09and of course

00:46:09a lot of

00:46:10you know

00:46:11there's this old

00:46:13statement

00:46:14like I wish

00:46:15I wish

00:46:16that blacks

00:46:17were more like

00:46:18the ones we see

00:46:18on TV

00:46:18and of course

00:46:19I get the racism

00:46:20of that

00:46:21and I understand

00:46:21that

00:46:21and I appreciate

00:46:22that

00:46:22but at the same

00:46:23time

00:46:23you know

00:46:24we also know

00:46:25if you have to

00:46:26go to a bus stop

00:46:26late at night

00:46:27if there's an

00:46:28elderly Asian

00:46:29gentleman there

00:46:30versus

00:46:30a young

00:46:32guy

00:46:32could be black

00:46:33could be white

00:46:34you know

00:46:34dressed in gang

00:46:34colors

00:46:35you know

00:46:35sniffing glue

00:46:36twitching

00:46:37you know

00:46:37we know

00:46:38and so

00:46:39a lot of times

00:46:41you know

00:46:41what you see

00:46:42in the media

00:46:43is

00:46:44everything's reversed

00:46:45everything's reversed

00:46:46everything's reversed

00:46:47all the time

00:46:48you know

00:46:49in all of the

00:46:51shows

00:46:52the white guy

00:46:53is the most racist

00:46:54when white people

00:46:55are the least racist

00:46:56and this has been

00:46:57confirmed by countless

00:46:58studies

00:46:59white people

00:47:00are the least racist

00:47:01of all of the

00:47:02ethnicities

00:47:03and racist

00:47:05and

00:47:05but

00:47:06you'll be told

00:47:07that the white person

00:47:08is always the most racist

00:47:09the

00:47:10black boyfriend

00:47:11is always the most

00:47:13gentle

00:47:13kind

00:47:13thoughtful

00:47:14and considerate

00:47:14where

00:47:15I pointed out

00:47:16that

00:47:17many years ago

00:47:18on X

00:47:19that 80% of black women

00:47:20report being

00:47:22assaulted

00:47:22in the most egregious

00:47:23kinds of ways

00:47:24I think we can all

00:47:25imagine what that means

00:47:26by black men

00:47:27before they reach

00:47:28the age of 18

00:47:29and you know

00:47:30one in 20

00:47:30in America

00:47:31one in 20

00:47:31black men

00:47:32is going to

00:47:33be

00:47:34kill

00:47:34someone

00:47:35over the

00:47:36course of his

00:47:36life

00:47:37and

00:47:38and so

00:47:38like

00:47:39black kids

00:47:40are more likely

00:47:40to kill someone

00:47:41than you know

00:47:42middle-aged

00:47:42white guys

00:47:43and yet

00:47:44so you always

00:47:44get the reversal

00:47:45right

00:47:45the black people

00:47:46are always

00:47:47the most gentle

00:47:47and of course

00:47:47there are wonderful

00:47:48gentle nice black

00:47:49people out there

00:47:49interact with them

00:47:50all the time

00:47:51but it is there

00:47:52to say

00:47:53the real danger

00:47:54right

00:47:54the real danger

00:47:55is those

00:47:55those white guys

00:47:56right

00:47:56or they say

00:47:58that the most

00:47:59cruel and nasty

00:48:01people around

00:48:01are the jocks

00:48:03and and all of the

00:48:04the dweebs and the

00:48:05nerds are just

00:48:06thoughtful and sensitive

00:48:07and nice

00:48:07would be great

00:48:08boyfriends and so on

00:48:09it's not usually

00:48:10the jocks who go

00:48:11around being school

00:48:12shooters right

00:48:13it's usually the

00:48:13the nerds

00:48:14the excluded

00:48:15the vengeful

00:48:15and having spent

00:48:17my time

00:48:17you know

00:48:18I've had an

00:48:19incredibly

00:48:20blessed and

00:48:21gifted

00:48:22life

00:48:23as a whole

00:48:25in that I've

00:48:26managed to go

00:48:26in a wide variety

00:48:27of circles

00:48:27I've managed to

00:48:28move in a wide

00:48:29variety of circles

00:48:29so I was in

00:48:31the nerd circles

00:48:31for sure

00:48:32I mean a

00:48:32Dungeons and Dragons

00:48:33guy and all that

00:48:34kind of stuff

00:48:34and then I

00:48:36but I also did

00:48:36a lot of sports

00:48:37and and some

00:48:39team sports

00:48:39and so on

00:48:42and some of the

00:48:43nerds were

00:48:43incredibly vicious

00:48:44and small-minded

00:48:46and and petty

00:48:47and aggressive

00:48:48but and a lot

00:48:49of the jocks

00:48:49were actually

00:48:50really nice

00:48:51pretty helpful

00:48:53guys

00:48:53so the entire

00:48:55purpose of the

00:48:55media is to

00:48:56give you

00:48:57the opposite

00:49:00of what you

00:49:01might want to

00:49:02be a little bit

00:49:02more alert to

00:49:03right so if

00:49:04there and this

00:49:05is I think the

00:49:06reference Jesse

00:49:06Jackson said

00:49:07after 30 or 40

00:49:08years in the

00:49:08civil rights

00:49:09business for

00:49:10those of you

00:49:10who don't know

00:49:11he's he's a

00:49:12black community

00:49:14leader so he

00:49:15said you know

00:49:16after 30 or 40

00:49:16years in the

00:49:17civil rights

00:49:19movement you

00:49:20know if there's

00:49:20guys behind me

00:49:21on the sidewalk

00:49:21it's late at

00:49:22night and I

00:49:22turn around I'm

00:49:23still relieved when

00:49:24they're not black

00:49:24that's what he

00:49:25said right and

00:49:27so you know

00:49:28there's a lot of

00:49:29people who will

00:49:29be like okay so

00:49:30there's a bunch of

00:49:31let's say I don't

00:49:32know some group

00:49:34right let's say

00:49:34blacks or some

00:49:35group it could be

00:49:36Hispanics could be

00:49:37white guys could be

00:49:38and it could be

00:49:38Asians if they look

00:49:39like they're in

00:49:39Yakuza or some

00:49:41criminal organization

00:49:42right and and

00:49:43they're walking

00:49:43down but the whole

00:49:45media has said oh

00:49:46no these people are

00:49:47super nice you

00:49:47shouldn't judge

00:49:48people you shouldn't

00:49:48judge people it's

00:49:49like but you kind

00:49:50of have to judge

00:49:51people because there's

00:49:52significant risks

00:49:53involved you know

00:49:55because in in the

00:49:56movies it's like the

00:49:57clean-cut guy is

00:49:59always the vicious

00:50:00boyfriend like the

00:50:01preppy guy with the

00:50:02nice haircut it's

00:50:02always but but you

00:50:03know who's a really

00:50:04nice cool guy who

00:50:05actually comes to your

00:50:06rescue is like that

00:50:08tattooed guy you know

00:50:10who rides a

00:50:10motorcycle and

00:50:11doesn't have a job

00:50:12and has a lots of

00:50:13shady income and so

00:50:14on and so it's just

00:50:15programming you to do

00:50:17the opposite of that

00:50:18which is generally the

00:50:19safest path and it's

00:50:20of course I mean

00:50:22lions want to program

00:50:23the zebras to to not

00:50:25be alarmed of lions

00:50:26because it makes their

00:50:26hunting a whole lot

00:50:27easier so when I look

00:50:28at the media and you'll

00:50:29see this all over the

00:50:30place all the time it

00:50:32is just telling you to

00:50:33do the opposite of what

00:50:35is generally going to be

00:50:36a safe course right so

00:50:38people see some

00:50:39dangerous looking people

00:50:41walking down the

00:50:41street and they say

00:50:43well I don't want to be

00:50:45prejudging people I

00:50:46don't want to be big

00:50:47at it I'm I'm going to

00:50:48assume and it's like no

00:50:50that's that's not I

00:50:51mean there's two

00:50:52things true in

00:50:53psychology two two

00:50:55things true in

00:50:55psychology one IQ very

00:50:57real very valid number

00:50:59two stereotype accuracy

00:51:00is a very real thing

00:51:02you don't judge

00:51:03everyone of course by

00:51:05stereotypes right I

00:51:06mean if I met Thomas

00:51:09Dr. Thomas Sowell the

00:51:10great black economist I

00:51:12mean I only say black

00:51:13because it's relevant to

00:51:14the story I don't care

00:51:14that he's black a

00:51:15brilliant guy if I met

00:51:18him walking down the

00:51:18street I I beg him to

00:51:20come for a coffee with

00:51:20me because he'd be

00:51:21fantastic guy to chat

00:51:22with I mean what a

00:51:23delightful thing right

00:51:24but if if there's

00:51:26anybody thuggish looking

00:51:27then you have to be

00:51:30alert and aware of that

00:51:31so the situational

00:51:33awareness is if someone

00:51:37is not obeying simple

00:51:39rules if there's some

00:51:40place they shouldn't be

00:51:41if 15 or 20 times

00:51:44they're not listening and

00:51:46not doing the reasonable

00:51:46thing and then they say

00:51:48you touch me see what

00:51:49happens see what happens

00:51:50if you touch me and

00:51:51then they start reaching

00:51:52for the backpack get the

00:51:54fuck out yeah get the

00:51:56fuck out don't touch him

00:52:00don't grab him if

00:52:01somebody says don't touch

00:52:02me see what happens if

00:52:03you touch me see what

00:52:04happens don't see what

00:52:06happens if you touch them

00:52:07don't do that in the same

00:52:09way that if the pitbull is

00:52:11like foaming and spitting

00:52:13and growling and yanking at

00:52:14his leash don't go pet it

00:52:16don't think you can fight

00:52:17it yeah 100% yeah 100%

00:52:22you know and I think this

00:52:24is such a valuable thing

00:52:25we could you know I don't

00:52:27have any children of my

00:52:28own I know you have a

00:52:29you have a daughter but

00:52:30for that everybody out

00:52:32there I think this is such

00:52:33a great way to introduce

00:52:34them to reality awareness

00:52:39and you can make a game

00:52:40you know like I said

00:52:41earlier you can make a game

00:52:42out of it they'd just be

00:52:42fully on board with this

00:52:44game because it's so

00:52:45easy children are

00:52:46naturally kind of

00:52:49naturally switched on to

00:52:50this stuff and you know

00:52:53this is a great way to

00:52:54try you know to help them

00:52:56become aware without shame

00:52:58you know what I mean like

00:52:59without the pushback of

00:53:01oh you know everyone's nice

00:53:02and all this kind of stuff

00:53:03right you know what I mean

00:53:04like it's just a great way of

00:53:06teaching children to be

00:53:08aware of their you know

00:53:11just be aware of reality

00:53:14and then that's a

00:53:15confirmation for children

00:53:16because you know children

00:53:17are naturally aware of

00:53:18reality and they want to

00:53:19learn more of it they're

00:53:21hungry for it they're like

00:53:22sponges you know like you've

00:53:24you've mentioned before like

00:53:26how incredible it is to see

00:53:28children learn English you

00:53:30know the language whatever the

00:53:31language is they're brought up

00:53:32with how quickly they pick it

00:53:33up and it's it's incredible

00:53:35right like you know there's

00:53:38it's amazing to watch that

00:53:40and then that's a great

00:53:42indicator of like just their

00:53:44their hunger for reality

00:53:46right because that's what it

00:53:47is and yeah so anyway I

00:53:50just wanted to make you know

00:53:51give you give you great you

00:53:54know great credos for your

00:53:56deconstruction and your

00:53:57reconstruction of the whole

00:53:58Carmelo Anthony thing and

00:54:00then the other one you know

00:54:01there's lots of stabbings going

00:54:02on around the world and it's

00:54:05just horrific right and it's

00:54:07unnecessary regardless of like

00:54:09who the victim or the

00:54:10perpetrator is if you if you

00:54:12you know you can just get out

00:54:13of that situation much

00:54:14sooner once you detect what's

00:54:17going on and then you can

00:54:19you know just leave or you

00:54:21know get out of that

00:54:22situation and then instead of

00:54:24that if you're not aware of

00:54:26what's actually going on then

00:54:28you can end up getting

00:54:29scat getting stabbed right and

00:54:30that's yeah and I would say in

00:54:32particular your courage should

00:54:35be proportional to the stakes

00:54:38right so if there's a home

00:54:40invader and you've got to take

00:54:41aggressive measures to protect

00:54:42your family from a home invader

00:54:44then yes you should do that a

00:54:47tent in the rain is not high

00:54:48stakes yeah yeah and this idea

00:54:51that you're just going to go

00:54:52chest bump and thump and and

00:54:53people have this weird idea of

00:54:56aggression like you can win it's

00:54:59very rare that you can win in

00:55:02aggression and the law is kind of

00:55:03set up that way yep sorry can

00:55:06you just could you just do me a

00:55:07favor when you call in I love

00:55:08having the conversations but you

00:55:09keep saying yep in my ear and

00:55:11it's really kind of distracting

00:55:12if you could just wait and just

00:55:13do me do me a solid just wait

00:55:14till I'm done because then I

00:55:15think you're about to say

00:55:16something and it kind of throws

00:55:17me off so if you don't mind

00:55:18okay if you don't mind thanks

00:55:21so you can't win in the law with

00:55:25regards to violence because

00:55:28winning is a decisive victory but

00:55:30in the law if you have a

00:55:31decisive victory it means you

00:55:32weren't in any particular

00:55:33threat and then you lose in the

00:55:35eyes of the law in again it's not

00:55:36legal advice it's just my

00:55:37understanding of the law all you

00:55:40can do in a situation of self

00:55:43defense is survive you can't

00:55:45decisively win because you have

00:55:47to be in imminent danger of

00:55:49grievous bodily harm or death

00:55:50which means all you can do is

00:55:51survive so there's all of this

00:55:53crap out there in movies and and

00:55:58TV shows and books and so on you

00:55:59know like Tom Cruise he's goes

00:56:02out of the bar with five guys and

00:56:04he's like yeah two of you gonna

00:56:05walk away and he fights and he

00:56:06fights and and so on right and

00:56:08then he just decisively wins and

00:56:09he walks away and there's no

00:56:10consequences but that's not how

00:56:12violence works in the real world

00:56:14and in particular it's not how

00:56:15violence works in America in

00:56:18America if Tom Cruise beats up

00:56:20five guys he's gonna have five

00:56:22lawsuits he's gonna get charged

00:56:24five times he's gonna be sued and

00:56:27he's gonna spend the next five

00:56:28years in court and he's gonna

00:56:30probably have to end up paying a

00:56:31lot of money oh you know he hurt

00:56:32my neck and I you know I didn't

00:56:34even attack him and because you

00:56:35know let's say there aren't any

00:56:37cameras because people will often

00:56:38go and have fights where they know

00:56:39there aren't cameras and so on so

00:56:40then it's just Tom Cruise's word

00:56:43against five guys's word oh he

00:56:45jumped us he beat us up out of

00:56:46nowhere we tried to talk him right

00:56:48so the in the movies the the good

00:56:51guy beats up all the bad guys and

00:56:53walks off into the sunset the bad

00:56:54guys just lie there oh groaning oh

00:56:56right that's not it's not what's in

00:56:58the real world in the real world if

00:57:00you kill the guys you're going to

00:57:02jail for murder because all five

00:57:03guys kind of been trying to kill

00:57:05you at least at the same time and

00:57:08if you just injure the hell out of

00:57:10them then they're gonna limp back

00:57:12home and their moms are gonna say

00:57:14who did this to you and you're not

00:57:15gonna say some five-foot-eight guy

00:57:17with great hair are you gonna say oh

00:57:19this guy just blindsided just out of

00:57:21nowhere oh but you gotta you gotta go

00:57:23to the cops go to the cops and we

00:57:24all arrange our stories together and

00:57:26the cops gonna come and arrest you

00:57:27and if the cops don't work then you

00:57:28start a lawsuit for your injury and

00:57:30blah blah blah and I mean this is the

00:57:32way that it works and people but

00:57:34people have this idea that you can

00:57:35just you know have some big

00:57:39altercation and and everything's gonna

00:57:40be fine and it's why I've stayed out

00:57:43of fights I mean I think I've showed I

00:57:46have some physical courage like I

00:57:47marked into tear gas in in Hong Kong

00:57:50with the anti-communist protesters and

00:57:52so I think I have some reasonable

00:57:53levels of physical courage I do things

00:57:55that are you know quite you go rock

00:57:57climbing and things I can do things

00:57:58that require some level of physical

00:58:00courage I think I have sort of an

00:58:01Aristotelian mean not too much not too

00:58:03little too much is foolhardiness too

00:58:05little is cowardice but I won't get

00:58:08into a fight because you never know

00:58:12what's gonna happen you think what are

00:58:15you gonna do you just pick this guy out

00:58:17and you're gonna throw him let's say

00:58:18Austin Metcalf pick this guy up and

00:58:20throw him out into the rain I get him

00:58:22out of my tent I'm gonna get out of

00:58:23my tent I'm gonna set my dollar right

00:58:25okay so let's say you do you throw

00:58:27him out you throw him out into the

00:58:28rain let's say that the young black

00:58:32fellow didn't stab him and just gets

00:58:35thrown out into the rain and then what

00:58:37you think you think that's it you think

00:58:39that's over you think that's all done

00:58:40nope because now you've made an enemy

00:58:44who's kind of a psycho right I mean

00:58:46obviously capable of great evil because

00:58:48he stabbed this poor young man in in the

00:58:51chest and killed him so now you've got

00:58:53an enemy who's gunning for you and he's

00:58:55gonna go and tell his friends and his

00:58:58friends are gonna be like oh that racist

00:59:00blah blah blah blah blah you know and and

00:59:02now you've got him and his friends

00:59:04gunning for you and then what like it

00:59:07just it's like starting a war like

00:59:10obviously it's written much bigger where

00:59:12does it go where does it go I mean how

00:59:14many people thought ah you know if we

00:59:17arm the Mujahideen in Afghanistan

00:59:20against the Soviets that's gonna lead to

00:59:22the Twin Towers going down and the

00:59:24Patriot Act which was suspiciously hot

00:59:27off the press and ready to go even

00:59:29before that so you don't know where

00:59:32violence goes I mean a friend of mine's

00:59:34wife was on jury duty and there was a guy

00:59:36who was in a bar fight and he he punched

00:59:41the guy the guy staggered backwards fell

00:59:43down some stairs died boom manslaughter

00:59:47you don't know unless it is an extremity

00:59:50of self-defense and someone's in your

00:59:54home in my vice don't do it don't do it

01:00:00there is so little benefit and such a

01:00:03great cost you need to do that cost

01:00:05benefit analysis right it's the same

01:00:07thing with resisting the police god forbid

01:00:09you ever get arrested don't be a street

01:00:13corner lawyer don't argue with the cops

01:00:16take your time argue it in court don't

01:00:19don't argue with the cops because they're

01:00:21authorized to use force until you comply

01:00:24or die they are authorized to use force

01:00:26in general until you comply or you die I'm

01:00:30sorry I didn't make the rules those are the

01:00:34rules so people walk into these violent

01:00:37situations thinking there's something

01:00:39good that's going to come out of it I

01:00:41mean let's say you beat up some guy then

01:00:44what you think he's going to just let it

01:00:46go nope especially now he could find you on

01:00:49social media he's going to find a way to

01:00:51get you back and then you have one three

01:00:53minute fight and then how long are you

01:00:57looking over your shoulder and how long

01:00:58are you like he's going to find some way

01:01:00and he's not going to do it alone right so

01:01:03you know as best as you can try to avoid

01:01:06violence try to stay out of the way of

01:01:09violence and you know I mean Lauren

01:01:13and Mrs. Southern Lauren Southern when

01:01:16she was back on P.S. Morgan I think

01:01:19recently debating with Andrew Wilson a

01:01:20very unsatisfying debate but anyway when we

01:01:24had security right when we were in

01:01:25because of the amount of violence death

01:01:28threats bomb threats and so on and

01:01:30actual violence we had security and so

01:01:33when there were protesters outside it was

01:01:36really sad that it was raining we had

01:01:37some extra umbrellas and their you know

01:01:39hair dye was stripping down their

01:01:41mascara was dripping down it's all very

01:01:42sad then we went out we gave them some

01:01:44umbrellas we talked to them for a little

01:01:45bit now we had security and I did not go

01:01:48within stabbing distance of the

01:01:50protesters but I would go out and talk

01:01:51with them and try and understand if there

01:01:54was any common ground that we could come

01:01:55across and it was actually not a

01:01:58terrible conversation but I wouldn't go

01:02:00and give them a hug so sorry I asked you

01:02:01to stop talking now it's all yours and

01:02:04if anybody else has any comments or

01:02:05questions please feel free to jump in

01:02:07yeah I mean my example would be like you

01:02:10know I have I have fire extinguishers in

01:02:13my house right and I only have them in

01:02:16the hope I'll never have to use them and I

01:02:20feel like that should be somewhat of a

01:02:23model for how we go about in the world

01:02:27that we try to avoid conflict at all

01:02:31costs you know if that if that if that

01:02:35involves running away fines great run

01:02:37away like but please don't put yourself

01:02:40in harm's way just for the sake of one's

01:02:43ego or you know proving oneself or

01:02:47anything like that it's much better to

01:02:50much much but much much better to see

01:02:52the see that early and you know just

01:02:54just leave don't wait to the last

01:02:57second and then have to like you know

01:03:00get stabbed or get hurt or things

01:03:03escalate or whatever you know learning

01:03:05how to see these things early is very

01:03:07very valuable yes it is and learn how

01:03:14to back down learn how to back down

01:03:19because you never know how much someone

01:03:24else is willing to escalate and if you

01:03:28don't know how I mean because fights

01:03:29generally among people you don't know if

01:03:31you don't know how much someone is

01:03:32willing to escalate then you just have

01:03:36to learn to back down people call you a

01:03:38pussy man you're a coward you back down

01:03:40you totally cucked out it's like yes and

01:03:42you know what's cool my heart is still

01:03:44beating and I don't have a brain injury

01:03:47and I didn't crack an eye socket and I

01:03:49didn't lose three teeth and I didn't like

01:03:51learn how to back down I mean pride is a

01:03:55terrible thing vanity is terrible for

01:03:57women pride is terrible for men your

01:04:00status is in regards to your conscience

01:04:03not in regards to the applause or boos of

01:04:09ignorant fools of ignorant fools I mean

01:04:14the same friend I talked about where I had

01:04:17the crazy attack from him about the bike

01:04:22he fought he fought he'd go out and have

01:04:25fights and I'm I told him I don't don't go

01:04:30have these fights man this guy's huge I

01:04:32he would go out and fight guys 50% bigger

01:04:35than him I don't what are you doing and

01:04:38you know he he died young and it's like

01:04:44the sad ending of the movie stand by me

01:04:48where the guy who's good at calming

01:04:50everyone down gets into some knife fight

01:04:52gets stabbed and dies why on earth would

01:04:55you get involved in somebody else's knife

01:04:57fight why on earth would you get involved

01:05:01to somebody else's knife fight it's crazy it is

01:05:06saying that your life is to be a disposable

01:05:09rent-a-cop for no pay yeah it is such a

01:05:14tragic lack of self-esteem to get involved

01:05:17in other people's violent altercations and I

01:05:23I wouldn't do that you know I've said this

01:05:26to friends you know what are we gonna do if

01:05:28something goes down it's like I don't know

01:05:29what you're gonna do I'm out of there I'm not

01:05:31I'm not I don't do that what could you

01:05:34possibly gain covered in dust and glory as

01:05:39Mark Twain writes about but no what is that

01:05:42again what is that oh your your pride you're

01:05:44you know you you you fought and you look I

01:05:46I get this so when I was younger people

01:05:50would fight and you know mostly shake hands

01:05:52and people didn't escalate too much but

01:05:54people are kind of nuts these days and

01:05:57especially if you're dealing with less

01:05:59intelligent people less intelligent people

01:06:01don't know how to de-escalate because

01:06:03de-escalation requires self-mastery and

01:06:06self-mastery requires intelligence these are

01:06:10the people who fail the marshmallow test

01:06:12these are the people with no inner life

01:06:15these are the people who are just a void of

01:06:18reactions and status and aggression and win at

01:06:23all cost they don't think about the future

01:06:25they don't think about tomorrow they

01:06:26don't think about consequences they just

01:06:28can never lose in the moment and it's not

01:06:32my mother was very smart she was one of

01:06:33these people too just can't lose in the

01:06:35moment I'll win no matter what even if it

01:06:37destroys everything about my life I will

01:06:40never back down and if you're fighting

01:06:45people who won't back down and who will

01:06:49win at any cost you're gonna get

01:06:51seriously hurt because they will twist your

01:06:56nuts they will poke you hard in the eye

01:07:01they will bite your ear off Mike Tyson

01:07:04style they will go for the knees right and

01:07:06if you get wrecked in your knees that can

01:07:08be a lifelong pain problem that can be a

01:07:10lifelong opiate problem your life can be

01:07:13completely ruined they will again they will

01:07:16go for the groin they will they will use

01:07:20their heel to shove your nose into your

01:07:22brain your cartilage into your brain I mean

01:07:25they will fight dirty they will do anything

01:07:27this isn't like the fisticuffs and

01:07:29queensberry rules and so on a street fight

01:07:31is an absolute ugly vicious brawl where if

01:07:36you win decisively you're probably gonna end

01:07:39up on trial so and and also you have to know

01:07:42you have to have the self-control to know

01:07:44exactly when to stop so you're pounding a

01:07:45guy at what point when you're pounding a

01:07:48guy are you pounding him against the law I

01:07:51don't know when's he disabled people can

01:07:53say oh he went down and bro kept pounding

01:07:55him for like 30 seconds right okay well

01:07:58the jury is gonna have to adjudicate that

01:08:01about whether you maimed him or you killed

01:08:03him grievous bodily harm manslaughter how

01:08:06do you know exactly when to stop well if you

01:08:08have the self-control to say okay well he's

01:08:09down I know exactly when to stop this then

01:08:11the other then you have the self-control to

01:08:13de-escalate and get out let this is my big

01:08:16advice to everyone let idiots win I know

01:08:22that sounds odd I'm not talking like in a

01:08:24debate or whatever it is I will not let

01:08:26idiots win and all of that but a debate is a

01:08:27civilized thing let idiots win right if if this

01:08:33young fellow wants to stay in the tent and

01:08:36he's not gonna leave the tent and he's

01:08:38threatening the hell out of anyone if they

01:08:39touch him let him stay in the tent let him

01:08:42have let him have his corner why it's not

01:08:47your tent he's not threatening your baby he's

01:08:50not about to assault your girlfriend he's just

01:08:52sitting in the tent maybe he was being a jerk in

01:08:56which case you leave the tent it's not the last

01:09:00stand in Gallipoli it's not the gates of Vienna it's not

01:09:08Passchendaele you can leave let idiots win let idiots win

01:09:16yeah it's not it's not it's not worth it is it

01:09:20because idiots don't have a concept of any kind of honorable winning or losing

01:09:27they don't it's just domination at all costs and escalation at all costs how can

01:09:33you win against that the only way to win is not to play I mean can you imagine me

01:09:37getting into shouting matches with my mom she's still alive I think I mean whoa and

01:09:44so so I think I'm sure my family thinks I'm just a terrible guy and they read my

01:09:48page and it's always terrible guy okay let him have it I don't care I don't care I

01:09:52don't care let him win let let people think you're a bad guy let people think

01:09:56you're a coward let people who cares it's just thoughts you know what you care

01:10:01about a rusty blade straight through your heart that you should care about that you

01:10:06cannot survive people thinking you're pussied out man you're cucked out you're

01:10:11weakling coward just words it's only syllables it's not bladed savagery

01:10:18straight straight to the carotid let idiots win don't as this with trolls too

01:10:24right don't trolls will try and bait you into engaging with them in no intent of

01:10:28any truth pursuit or anything like that and then they walk away and you know we

01:10:34had this debate a week or two ago with the guy who's like yeah man with

01:10:37rationality rules you totally lost okay that's a goading thing I get I feel it

01:10:41right I'm a human being I'm healthy I'm happy I'm a human being so there's a

01:10:49goading thing you totally lost he totally dominated you he owned you he

01:10:54took you to schooled you and like okay so this is just goading language right to

01:10:59try and I'm like okay just I recognize that idiots use goading language rather

01:11:03than actual proof just tell me where I'm wrong like forget all the language of

01:11:09you're such an idiot or you got things wrong or you don't understand this you

01:11:12don't understand that it's like yeah yeah yeah shut the fuck up and tell me where

01:11:15I'm wrong like an actual adult adult would right just a sort of throwing words and

01:11:20of course you know if people won't define their terms if they won't address

01:11:26rational arguments if they keep changing the topics and so on and then you hang

01:11:31up on them and then what do they do everyone does the same thing right they

01:11:34say oh I challenged Steph and he couldn't he couldn't handle it and he

01:11:37just he just he just ran away he just kicked me out of the he couldn't handle

01:11:40any tough questions like of course they're gonna say that let them have their

01:11:44pathetic stupid little victories let them have it let them have this little

01:11:49stupid rock they pluck out of their ass and say oh it's such a diamond oh look at my

01:11:53precious my precious let them have it I don't care I don't care I mean oh of

01:11:57course at the time I'm a little goaded and I get a little punchy and you know

01:12:00the masculine energy flows and I get all of that and there's nothing wrong with

01:12:05that stuff as well you don't want to be bloodless and not care about anything to

01:12:08do with this stuff but yeah all of the people who like to it was this I don't

01:12:13know it's still there's rumor around for years and years and years that when I

01:12:17reviewed the movie Frozen that I logged in as a girl and said what a great analysis

01:12:24it was because it showed up under my name and that's because Google Plus the

01:12:30comments went through Google Plus and then ended up back on YouTube and all of

01:12:34that and people people and so people are like oh yes Steph he I mean he he he

01:12:41commented he pretended to be a girl commenting on one of his own videos that's

01:12:45how sad he is and he totally got owned by this person and he's a total blah

01:12:49blah blah blah blah and it's like yep you can have your victories you absolutely

01:12:52can you can have your victories think I'm an idiot I think that I log in as a

01:12:56girl to comment on my own video rather than do something fun with my wife or

01:13:01daughter and come up with some great new philosophical thoughts yeah that's what

01:13:05I'm doing is it's creating all accounts as teenage girls and commenting on my

01:13:09own videos and it's like okay so it's funny because like all of the people who you

01:13:14know this is back in the day of course it could be more recently right all the

01:13:17people who are like ah Steph is an idiot it's like well I I guess you missed out

01:13:21on Bitcoin then didn't you I mean look at your victory man look at look at what you

01:13:32won you missed out on Bitcoin when it was five cents that's what you win you win having shitty

01:13:45relationships not have any morals not telling the truth not having a good conscience you

01:13:50missed out on peaceful parenting you missed out on great conversations that help people

01:13:54wound heal inner wounds and move on with their lives and you missed being lovable you missed

01:13:59having a family you missed having a wife who cares about you you missed the biggest investment

01:14:04opportunity in the history of humanity and and all for what so you so you could call me a racist

01:14:11or

01:14:11you could call me a misogynist or something it's like okay I mean look excuse me look at what you

01:14:20won what did you win when you're still in your parents basement and I'm having a great time with my

01:14:26family and friends and doing great shows and I mean look what you won good for you

01:14:33yeah it's pretty sad who used to run entire they used to run entire websites dissecting everything

01:14:38I said and he's such a bad guy and he's such a hypocrite and and you know the really sad

01:14:42thing is

01:14:42of course all the people who oh he's a cult leader and he just destroys families and so on and

01:14:46that's

01:14:47really quite sad because they got driven away from some arguments for peaceful parenting and against

01:14:52spanking so they probably ended up abusing their kids which is why those statements were made in the

01:14:56first place that's obviously a little more serious but for the other people it's like they they won

01:15:00what did what did they put I mean I have a wonderful life I'm blissfully married have a great relationship

01:15:06with my daughter and great friends and I was just down visiting a bunch of friends in New Hampshire

01:15:13recently had a wonderful week of you know exciting challenging conversations and we we played cards

01:15:23and laughed so hard that I was crying I mean and and that was and and so what if other

01:15:31people won well

01:15:31they they've lied they've slandered they you know they they begin that you get you get the basement of

01:15:36the fucking mountain you get to eat raw fish and you get a ring of a ring of invisibility to

01:15:41the future

01:15:42and of course the people who slandered lied and attacked me that they're going to be judged by

01:15:48the future and I don't know why people don't understand that you're going to be judged by the

01:15:53future and I'm more and more correct as time goes along and you are going and I'm a very good

01:16:00person and

01:16:01I bring a lot of virtue and truth and goodness to the world and I have prevented probably close to

01:16:07two billion attacks on children over the course of 21 years and then everyone who's lied about me

01:16:13has furthered the cause of child abuse and the destruction of the young and that's going to be

01:16:21absolutely clear in the future I'm going to be like one of the people who was lied about because

01:16:25they wanted to end slavery or one of the people who was lied about because they wanted more equal rights

01:16:29for women I'm going to be the hero in the future and everyone who thinks that the hero is just

01:16:35a sad

01:16:35pitiful villain who's going to be held in contempt forevermore amen and what do they win so let idiots

01:16:42win honestly there's almost nothing more liberating in this world than just let idiots win let the

01:16:47people who hover over the edit page on wikipedia and have just got to say terrible things about me

01:16:52I mean I can't imagine why anyone would be so against someone who's exposing child abuse except

01:16:59I don't know child abusers I mean that's what I assume I don't have any proof that's what I assume

01:17:04is motivating all the people who lie about me is that they have a terrible conscience and I'm

01:17:10helping victims who they want to victimize right of course right I mean if you're going to tell the

01:17:14truth on the mafia the mafia is going to lie about you and try and get you killed which has

01:17:18certainly

01:17:18happened before so let idiots win let them win don't engage with people who are trying to engage with

01:17:26you in bad faith and don't engage with people who are just going to escalate I don't play with people

01:17:33who don't play by the rules and the rules of philosophy is reasonable discourse heated tempers

01:17:38is fine getting annoyed with each other is fine that's part of the human condition but not robots

01:17:42but not spark but I don't play with people who don't play by the rules and it's the old thing

01:17:48like

01:17:48if you pay if you play chess with a pigeon the pigeon just shits on the board knocks everything over

01:17:53and struts around like it won let the pigeon win let the idiots win and that's the greatest

01:17:57liberation that you can possibly get and then you can just move beyond all of this like a look at

01:18:02these kinds of people the way that you would look at ants from an airplane so they've won yeah okay

01:18:09you get what you win and I get my life all right is there anything else that you wanted to

01:18:13add

01:18:13I just want to add one last thing there Stefan like you know stay away from drama addicts

01:18:21you know because these people are drama addicts they're addicted to drama but what do you mean

01:18:26drama well as long as they can provoke more drama yeah if I get into an argument with somebody like

01:18:33that and they just yeah they just want to further the drama in bad faith then I'll just say okay

01:18:39you

01:18:39know what yeah okay we're done here okay you know I don't I don't need drama in my life and

01:18:45I don't

01:18:45so therefore I don't need any more of this drama and then they you know then they just don't want

01:18:51to

01:18:51do next because they're addicted to drama it's not about the argument it's just about the drama

01:18:58and as long as they can provoke drama in a person then they're happy doesn't matter whether it's good

01:19:03bad or indifferent or hurts them or whatever they're just addicted to drama and I just say you know

01:19:09what I don't actually need drama in my life I really don't I don't want any drama in my life

01:19:14and so therefore no you can go away and I'll find someone else who's more serious

01:19:21people who lack self-control always end up having to control others yeah and this is where censorship

01:19:27comes from people who can't react people who can't manage their reactions to troubling information

01:19:32always want to control the dissemination of troubling information especially if it's true because

01:19:36then they can't just say it's bigoted and wrong and so people provoke others because they can't

01:19:42control themselves and also there's a lot of people who only feel that they exist when other

01:19:48people are interacting with them and if they can't get positive interactions they're thrilled

01:19:51with negative interactions and yeah it's very very sad all right well thank you again always a great
