Philosopher Stefan Molyneux takes on Emma Watson's dying eggs and the push for smart women to put off kids for looks, careers and fun. He covers how that fake picture of success hides real fertility risks, hurts family and civilization, plus debate news and listener questions on marriage and roles.

00:00:00Good morning, my friends. Hope you're doing well. 27th of September, 2026. Two weeks since
00:00:07the Jay Dyer debate. Thank you again for Word War Debate, wordwardebate.com, for having
00:00:14me out there. And although if there are free domain listeners in the realm of Las Vegas,
00:00:24on November the 16th, it is, in fact, the debate I'm going to have. I think it's a 1v1
00:00:29and a 1v10. It's going to be broadcast. So, it is going to be a broadcast that you will
00:00:35be able to see it, I suppose, as you could, the last one, from the comfort of your own
00:00:40home. So, just remember that. Remember that. We will send out the bookmarks and all kinds
00:00:51of great stuff. And let me just get the YouTube channel. But, yeah, November the 16th, I will
00:01:01be doing some debates. And I hope that you will join in and comment. And if you are a donor,
00:01:08a subscriber to Free Domain, which you can do at freedomain.com slash donate, then you
00:01:15can join in the debate prep, which I will be doing, just as I did for the Jay Dyer one.
00:01:20So, I hope that you're having a lovely day. Hope you're doing well. I'm back on Egg Patrol.
00:01:29I'm back on Egg Patrol. I really don't mean to troll. I know this, oh, little old me doesn't
00:01:36mean to troll. But somebody posted a picture of Emma Watson of Beauty and the Beast fame,
00:01:46of course, Harry Potter fame, and other things. And she's obviously very intelligent and a stupid
00:01:52businesswoman. She took, I think, a percentage of Beauty and the Beast and did very well. And
00:01:55she was good in that. And very talented and all of that. And she's 36, I think, or 37 or
00:02:03something like that. And somebody posted a picture of her looking good in a bikini. And
00:02:12it bothers me. It bothers me when people look good. No, I don't mean that at all.
00:02:18It bothers me. In the same way that it bothers me
00:02:26when someone says, you know, boy, Sylvester Stallone in his prime, you know, boy, what a fit
00:02:35and healthy guy he was. And no, no, that's not the case. I mean, he did get down to two
00:02:43and a half
00:02:43percent body fat for Rocky III, according to a recent interview. But he did it through bulimia
00:02:49and massive amounts of steroids. And he said, like, nobody gets that ripped without
00:02:57juice and so on. So it's a little fake. Hard work, obviously worked very hard, but it's not real.
00:03:06If somebody were to say to me, look how successful Bob is. And I knew for a fact that Bob
00:03:13was simply borrowing money to fund a lifestyle. Or if somebody were to say to me, look how hard
00:03:20working Bob is, because he has a nice stuff and a good job. And I knew for a fact that
00:03:29Bob's dad had given him money and a job, right? It's just, it's not real. It's an appearance of
00:03:35things. And the appearance of things, which masks the truth, is the natural enemy of the philosopher.
00:03:45The philosopher aims to peel back the levels and the layers and to show the reality behind
00:03:51the appearance, right? I mean, in the movie Hoaxed, hoax2movie.com, I reenacted Plato's
00:03:59cave analogy to get to reality. And I had this great line came to be, we did a whole bunch
00:04:06of
00:04:06takes, this line came to me, they want to control what you think, because once you think, you're
00:04:12beyond their control. It's a pretty good line. Pretty good line, if I do say so myself. And the
00:04:18purpose, of course, is to look at things that are real, not things that are pretend. Fake virtue
00:04:26destroys virtue. Fake money destroys money. Fake beauty destroys beauty.
00:04:34Things that are fake destroy things that are real.
00:04:42A man who fakes loving a woman will often destroy her capacity for true love, because she loses the
00:04:51capacity to trust. The same thing can happen the other way. Fake virtue drives out real virtue.
00:04:58Bad money drives out good money, as I said. So, things that are appearance-based, things that are
00:05:05fake, are the natural enemy of the philosopher. The beginning of wisdom, as the old saying goes,
00:05:10is to call things by their proper names.
00:05:16So, I think when people take care of themselves, and are healthy, and exercise, and eat well, and
00:05:23maintain a healthy weight, and so on, wonderful. I've never, ever complained about that. I strive for
00:05:29that myself, of course, so I have no problem with that. We are a family of people who exercise,
00:05:36exercise, and so on. So that, like, you know, on my birthday, I went to the gym with my daughter,
00:05:44and spent the rest of the day with my family as a whole, except for playing pickleball with my wife.
00:05:49So, we are an exercise-y family. I think it's great. I think it's wonderful. I think it's respect
00:05:55for this beautiful machine that we all own, that gives us life, and is life. That is, I mean,
00:06:03we have this amazing machine that keeps us alive, and we owe it some maintenance, and some love back.
00:06:12It loves us, and it keeps us alive. We should show it some love back. So, the fact that Emma
00:06:18Watson is
00:06:19attractive, the fact that she's young, the fact that she's pretty, is, you know, youngish, right?
00:06:24And wonderful. No problems. I think, I think that's great. So, there are no issues that I have with any
00:06:35of that at all. At all. Now, what do I have an issue with? Because I posted that about 97
00:06:45% of her
00:06:46eggs are dead. Now, does this mean at the age of 36, she can't settle down and have kids? Of
00:06:56course she
00:06:56can. Is it impossible for her to have children? Of course not. Of course not. She can have her kids.
00:07:04Yes. But the problem is that women tend to be, women tend to take a lot of cues from celebrities,
00:07:15which is why when you want to wreck women, you first promote the Kardashians, right? I'm not saying
00:07:23it's good or bad or right or wrong. It just is kind of a fact that if you want to
00:07:30ruin women,
00:07:31you promote ruinous celebrities, right? You just make the celebrities pretty rich and popular and
00:07:45women will follow them off a cliff, like lemmings. Not all, right? But, but some.
00:07:50All right. I don't even know what is Emma Watson's relationship status. I know she was,
00:07:55she said she wanted all these sensitive guys and then she dated the captain of England's rugby team,
00:07:59if I remember rightly. All that kind of stuff. Ugh. And of course, there is a fairly horrendous
00:08:08amount of vanity. As of the most recent public reports, March 2026, Emma Watson has been dating
00:08:16Mexican entrepreneur and billionaire heir Gonzalo y Villa Baleares.
00:08:25That relationship began around late 2025. She's not publicly addressed her current status since the
00:08:33March reports. Later, 2026 coverage focuses on our comments about marriage pressure rather than any
00:08:43breakup or new partner. In a widely circulated interview, she quipped that she's just so happy
00:08:49to not be divorced yet and described marriage as something she doesn't feel entitled to or rushed
00:08:54into. Okay. So, I guess as of about six months ago, she was dating some Hispanic rich kid or rich
00:09:06guy.
00:09:08Okay. All right. So, she doesn't feel in any rush whatsoever
00:09:17to get married and have children. Now, looking good is a proxy for what? Right? I mean, yeah,
00:09:27she's got a nice figure and so on. Now, she's never had kids. She's never breastfed.
00:09:33She is wealthy. She has personal trainers. She has personal chefs. And so, for most people,
00:09:39I mean, for most women in their mid-30s, they're not going to look like that. And that bothers me
00:09:46as well. It's a little bit unfair if you're super wealthy and you have, again, personal chef,
00:09:54personal trainers, all the leisure in the world to, this is the Elizabeth Hurley thing,
00:09:59to sort of flaunt that. It's their job to look good. Right? I mentioned before that I had a friend
00:10:06when I was younger who was a Calvin Klein model. And he said he was insanely thirsty before these
00:10:12shoots because he couldn't drink water for like a day or two because he had to be super dehydrated
00:10:17to have his abs show and to look that good. So, it's unsustainable in the same way that when I
00:10:23was
00:10:24growing up in the 70s and 80s, I guess as a result of pumping iron and Arnold Schwarzenegger and
00:10:30Sylvester Stallone, maybe to a smaller degree, Jean-Claude Van Damme. And there was a muscle. There was
00:10:35muscle culture, muscle culture. And Arnold Schwarzenegger had a crazy strict diet. He'd
00:10:43become wealthy in real estate, I think, before he became a movie star, which is fine, of course,
00:10:47right? But, you know, he would work out three or four hours a day. And Sylvester Stallone had bulimia
00:10:55and trained himself to the point where, and, you know, he did his own stunts in movies. He's had like
00:11:00seven operations in his back. He takes a handful of pills every day just to basically function. It
00:11:07is a suspicious hairline for a guy. He's 80, I think. So, when I was growing up, there was this
00:11:15muscle culture and it's fake. It's fake. I mean, I'm sure Arnold Schwarzenegger, I think. Did he take
00:11:25steroids? I'm sure he took steroids to get that and that physique. All right. Did Arnold, God,
00:11:33how do I spell this? Take steroids. I'm sure that the AI will know who I am talking about.
00:11:45Talking about. I can't do Arnold. I should figure it out at some point because it's kind of funny
00:11:49from time to time. But there's so many people who do good imitations. Yes, there we go. Arnold
00:11:56Schwarzenegger hasn't repeatedly openly admitted that he used anabolic steroids during his competitive
00:11:59bodybuilding career in the 60s and 70s. So, he took testosterone, 100 milligrams per week.
00:12:06Dianabol, 50 milligrams per day. So, yeah. Yeah. And he's had heart issues, had heart surgery and so on.
00:12:20So, it's just, it's just fake. It's fake. It's fake. And I don't like the fake stuff.
00:12:29I mean, some people, I suppose, would be inspired by someone like Schwarzenegger's body or
00:12:36Sylvester Stallone's body. But then, but then the problem is that people start to try and do that
00:12:43stuff. Like, obviously, I don't take any steroids and I don't work out that much compared to these
00:12:49guys, of course, right? But people start and they get disappointed. They say, well, I've been going to
00:12:57the gym for a couple of months and I don't see myself in the mirror looking like these guys and
00:13:03then they get bitter or disappointed or frustrated or whatever it is, right?
00:13:11And bodybuilders die young. Bodybuilders die young.
00:13:19And a lot of it has to do with these horrible drugs that they use.
00:13:29Let me just, I remember reading this. I'm sorry. I should, of course, have all of this prepared,
00:13:33but I wasn't. I'm never exactly sure where the muse is going to take me. But it's fake.
00:13:38Like wrestling. WWF stuff. It's fake, man. It's fake. It's not real.
00:13:45And the unreality stuff really, really bothers me.
00:13:53And as I posted this morning, it's easy, it's ridiculously easy to destroy an advanced civilization.
00:14:03This is the story of Eve, right? That Eve is seduced by the serpent and Eve eats at the tree
00:14:14of
00:14:14knowledge of good and evil and then convinces Adam to do so. And then they are destroyed.
00:14:34So, yeah. They don't all die young, of course, right there. Lifting weights is healthy, of course.
00:14:41Competing at the highest enhanced levels of modern bodybuilding carries a measurably higher risk of
00:14:45dying earlier than expected. Primarily from heart-related causes, many individual bodybuilders
00:14:50still live into their 70s and 80s. The elevated risk is concentrated at the professional extreme.
00:14:59So, professional bodybuilders had more than five times the overall mortality risk and more than 14
00:15:04times the sudden cardiac death risk of amateurs. Among those still actively competing, sudden cardiac
00:15:10deaths occurred at an average age of about 35 years. Now, it's not massive. In the elite Mr. Olympia
00:15:21Open Category 7 of 100 competitors died during this study window from 2005 to 2020, five of them
00:15:29from sudden cardiac causes at a mean age of 36. So, yes, weightlifting is good. Drugs, drugs are bad.
00:15:38Kids, don't do drugs. So, yeah, it's ridiculously easy to destroy an advanced, sorry, jumping all over
00:15:46the place. To destroy an advanced civilization, all you have to do is convince the most intelligent women
00:15:53to delay childbirth. That's all you have to do. To destroy an advanced civilization is ridiculously easy.
00:15:59You just have to convince the most intelligent women to delay childbirth. And you have to denigrate
00:16:08childbirth. You have to promote the boss babe stuff. You have to promote independence. Don't need
00:16:11no man. Have your own income. And it's ridiculously easy to do that. How do you convince the most
00:16:20intelligent women to delay childbirth? You consistently promote how cool it is to be in a perfectly clean
00:16:29place, damaged style, sipping a glass of dark wine, almost the blood of the sacrifice of the children
00:16:36who aren't born. And you show the woman being super confident and attractive and in great suits. And you
00:16:44bribe her with power and hedonism. So, you say, well, you've got to go to university. And by the way,
00:16:50if you go to university, you'll get to drink, you'll get to have parties, you can do some drugs,
00:16:54you can sleep around. Hedonism is the way to go. Being a fornicator is the way to go. It's super
00:17:00fun,
00:17:00it's super fun, it's super cool. And, oh, and by the by, by the by, after this phase of sleeping
00:17:09around, there will be just an endless supply of six foot four chiseled abs, thaws in a Bugatti,
00:17:18as the recent post had it, who will be vying for your hand. So, you bribe her with hedonism in
00:17:25the
00:17:25now. And then you promise her a happy ending, not in the Thai massage sense, but in the
00:17:33marriage sense. This is Bridget Jones' diary. Wasn't it? She was like a single mom and there
00:17:38were two millionaires vying for her hand. Hugh Grant and, I don't know, the other guy who murdered
00:17:45all the Christians in that horrible movie. So, that's all you have to do. You force companies to
00:17:55artificially inflate the wages of women. You heavily subsidize or lend them money to go to
00:18:02university and make sure that they get degrees that aren't particularly economically useful,
00:18:06and then they're dependent upon the state. And you simply tell them that there's plenty of time
00:18:13later. Ah, there's plenty of time later. You can have kids in your 30s, you can freeze your eggs,
00:18:20you can have kids in your 40s. There was this one woman who had a child when she was 47,
00:18:24some celebrity. And then what that does is it has women put the difficult task of finding a suitable
00:18:33husband and father for their children. Just get them to delay it. Just, ah, it's down the road.
00:18:37Kick that can down the road. It's fine. You can get it done later. It's no problem.
00:18:42There's going to be tons of guys who want to settle down with you when you're 37.
00:18:4637. Or 38, right? 38, you're 20 years into your fertility window. I mean, in terms of like 18 to
00:18:5838,
00:18:59right? It's later. It's fine. Don't panic, honey. Don't panic. Have fun. Enjoy yourself. Travel.
00:19:10Have mimosas on a Sunday morning with your gal pals. It's going to be great.
00:19:18You're going to love it. It's going to be so much fun. Here are all of these skinny girls
00:19:24in great clothing in New York, sex of the city style. Just be one of them. Be a boss, babe.
00:19:30Be masculine. Be independent. Don't have kids. Don't have kids. Don't have kids. I mean,
00:19:37the way, and it's much more civilized. The way they used to end civilizations was mass slaughter
00:19:44of the children, but they've discovered a better way through propaganda and through the government
00:19:49schools, in particular, the government schools. They've discovered a better way to end civilizations
00:19:57than war, which is rather than waiting for all of the sons to be born and raised and then killing
00:20:07them, either kill them in the womb through abortion, or even better, because even that's
00:20:14expensive. The most efficient way to destroy a population is simply convince the most intelligent
00:20:23women to delay childbirth. Now, why do I say the most intelligent women? Because that's where
00:20:27the advanced part of the advanced civilization comes from, is intelligent women want intelligent
00:20:33men, and together they're going to have intelligent children on the average. Easy. Just, ah, honey,
00:20:41honey, honey, honey. I mean, you don't want to be some breeding machine. You don't want to be
00:20:48some broodmare just pumping out kids. When you could go and get a sociology degree, go have fun.
00:20:55I mean, I remember when I first went to university, I don't know why I didn't know this. I didn't
00:20:59know
00:20:59this because, but I was like, was it 10, 12, whatever it is, hours of courses a week. Oh my
00:21:06God.
00:21:07It was crazy. It was crazy. I mean, four months off in the summer. I mean, it's just playing
00:21:20hacky sack in the quarter. I mean, I loved university. It was a breeze. It was fun. It was
00:21:26hedonistic. I mean, I didn't really drink and I've never done drugs. I last got drunk after I played
00:21:32Macbeth. Uh, there was a cast party. I got drunk and I remember, uh, what is the old saying? You're
00:21:38not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on, but I was on the bed, getting the
00:21:41spins, having a pee. And I was like, ah, forget it. This is terrible. I pay good money to not
00:21:45have
00:21:45this. Never got drunk again. Once in a blue moon, I might have an espresso martini, which I nurse for
00:21:53about an hour and a half. So yeah, just get the smart women. You bribe them with the hedonism
00:22:03of fun and pursuit and sex and wooing and dating because being pursued and wooed and dated and
00:22:11sleeping with men is a whole lot more fun than getting up for the third time because the baby's
00:22:15crying at night and it doesn't come through the women and it's not out of any fatal flaw
00:22:24in women. It is, it comes out of political power, right? The government education systems
00:22:33put the entire population into one neck that you can get two fingers and a thumb or maybe an exercise
00:22:41band around pretty easily to wreck the civilization. So you promote non-procreative
00:22:51activities. Birth control, sleeping around, abortion, homosexuality, bisexuality. You just promote
00:22:58non-procreative activities and you overpay women and you subsidize their education and you
00:23:11promote the cool boss babe stuff and none of it has anything to do with anything other than
00:23:19convincing intelligent women to not have children. Now, if intelligent women are constantly delaying
00:23:26childbirth, then that has a very big ripple effect on intelligent men because intelligent men
00:23:38want intelligent women, right? Because it's a long time to spend with someone and a marriage is 99%
00:23:45conversation. So intelligent men want intelligent women and if the intelligent women
00:23:55are delaying their childbirth, then the intelligent men are less ambitious because why do men become
00:24:03ambitious? There's two big jumps in a man's income and two big lowerings in his excessive testosterone
00:24:08or his high testosterone. Number one, when he gets married, his income goes up because he starts to take
00:24:13his job more seriously. His testosterone goes down a little because he doesn't need to have the same
00:24:17amount of aggression or assertiveness in order to find a mate. And then when he becomes a father,
00:24:22his income goes up again and his testosterone goes down again, which is good, obviously, by design
00:24:28or by evolution. So if women aren't having children, men lose their ambition and the economy gets hollowed
00:24:39out. Now, of course, what you also want to do when you're convincing women, especially the intelligent
00:24:44women, to delay childbirth, then the problem is that craters the economy very quickly, right? So
00:24:54there's three things you have to do to make sure that society doesn't course correct. Number one, again,
00:25:00force employers to hire women and pay them more than might otherwise occur in the free market.
00:25:07Try to close the wage disparity gap, right? Because the wage disparity gap exists because women are supposed
00:25:12to be having kids and men are supposed to be working. I mean, that's the only way civilization can
00:25:15thrive and survive. So you have to do that. And you have to borrow a lot of money. And you
00:25:22have to
00:25:22make sure that governments hire a lot of people, especially women, right? In certain areas, a
00:25:30significant majority of people who work for the government are women. I remember in the one brief
00:25:37time that as a temp, I worked for the government at the Department of Education. There was one boss,
00:25:43me, and 10 women in the area. And the women came in, sat down, complained about the
00:25:52their husbands, answered a few emails. I remember one woman was complaining about her husband was
00:25:58quitting smoking and he was such a bear. She was on her knees offering him up a cigarette. Please
00:26:01just smoke one. And women were all laughing and rolling their eyes. And then we went offsite for
00:26:07a training seminar and we had a very long lunch. And it was like, wow, this is insane.
00:26:15It's a daycare, right? It's a daycare. So yeah, you have to go into a lot of debt in order
00:26:22to cover
00:26:23up the fact that the economy is dying. Because when women defer having kids, the economy starts
00:26:29to fall off a cliff because men are less ambitious. And of course, the other thing you have to do,
00:26:38in order to get women to delay having children, the most fundamental thing you can do is, other than
00:26:46the bribery with hedonism and money, you just really just have to raise their expectations.
00:26:57expectations. That's the big one. That's the big one. You just have to raise their expectations.
00:27:05You deserve the best. Never compromise. There's a woman on X that was talking about like,
00:27:14this is the bravest thing. I'm 37 years old and I'm not going to settle and blah, blah, blah, blah,
00:27:18blah. And somebody posted, I don't know if it's true, but she actually has herpes and all that kind
00:27:23of stuff. And she looks kind of weathered from a lifetime of maybe drinking or smoking or something
00:27:29like that. She doesn't look particularly good for 37. And somebody wrote that the world is going to
00:27:36die because women who are sixes are waiting for Chad to show up in his Bugatti. And that went very
00:27:43viral for reasons that make perfect sense sort of deep down. You deserve more, right? That's the story
00:27:50of the Garden of Eden, right? It's true, Eve, that you're in paradise. No childbirth. No period.
00:28:00No hunger. Perfect temperature. No thirst. The animals all play with each other. You have a man
00:28:06who adores you. And it's a perfect life. And what did Eve say? I want more. Now, women wanting more
00:28:14is kind of why we have civilization. If you've ever, and I was a bachelor and we still make jokes
00:28:19about
00:28:20where I used to live and so on, because I remember once I woke up with a pigeon on my
00:28:26chest.
00:28:28Good morning. Don't peck my eyes. Because I had left my balcony door open and I just,
00:28:35I woke up with a pigeon on my chest. I also remember the light in my kitchen was out. I
00:28:41had a little
00:28:42apartment. It actually was the apartment where we did the research and development for my software.
00:28:46I ended up just taking it over after the R&D project was done. And the light was out. I
00:28:52just
00:28:52never quite got around to fixing it. And I slept on an old futon. And I remember
00:28:59being kind of hungry. It was nighttime. And I was on the 18th floor. So there was no streetlights
00:29:06coming in, of course, right? No light coming in. And the light was out. And I knew I had some
00:29:10peanut
00:29:11butter around. I didn't feel like groping around to try and find the peanut butter. I think it was under
00:29:14the sink. And of course, maybe it was with the cleaning product, not products, product.
00:29:19And I remember saying, I need some. I'm kind of hungry. I want some peanut butter.
00:29:23And I rolled up a newspaper. I lit it off the electric stove. And I was squatting down in my
00:29:31underpants with a burning brand looking for some peanut butter. And I do remember at that point
00:29:40thinking that I may be over bachelor-ing. I may be bachelor maxing just a smidge. And so I began
00:29:48to
00:29:49become a little bit more sensible. But I definitely was caveman. I was caveman. I didn't care.
00:29:54I didn't care. I mean, I'd tidy up with a woman who's coming over. But that was about it.
00:30:02So, women wanting more is fine. It's a good thing. It's why men get off the couch.
00:30:08But the story, of course, is that you have a perfect life, a life designed by an all-knowing,
00:30:13all-powerful God to be the very best conceivable life for you. And Eve says, it's not enough.
00:30:20It's not enough. And the serpent appeals to her vanity. And he says, you too can be like God.
00:30:27Eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, you too can be like, there's one rule.
00:30:31You have a perfect life, there's one rule. Don't eat the apple. And she's like, it's a perfect life.
00:30:36But I want to eat the apple. I want more. And through the wanting more, catastrophes, disasters,
00:30:42original sin, wars, famines, plagues, pestilence, and so on, all emerge. And Adam and Eve are
00:30:48cast out of the Garden of Eden. And a flaming sword bars their way to return. And Adam is cursed
00:30:55with labor. And Eve is cursed with childbirth. They have a perfect life. Now, of course, this has
00:31:01to do with puberty and so on, in that the Garden of Eden is childhood, where all of your needs
00:31:08are
00:31:08taken care of. The tree of knowledge of good and evil is becoming mature. And rather than just having
00:31:13mere pair bonding, you have a judgment of good and evil. I get all of that, you know, evolution,
00:31:17what happens when throughout most of our evolution, when people hit puberty, women had to deal with
00:31:24the possibility of childbirth, and men had to go to work, right? 14, 15, whatever it was, 13. I mean,
00:31:30people used to have puberty a whole lot later, like women used to have puberty onset at 16, 17,
00:31:34sometimes even 18. That's all changed. So women wanting more is fine. But when it's weaponized against
00:31:43the society, then all you do is you tell women you deserve the best. Don't ever settle. Don't ever
00:31:49compromise. Oh, my God. Settle. Compromise. You're not the best. I'm not the best. We're not the best
00:32:04looking. We're not the tallest. We're not the richest. We have to find somebody who's on our level.
00:32:12But when you say to women, don't settle, it hooks into their biologically driven hypergamy,
00:32:16which is the desire to marry up. Desire to marry up.
00:32:25I mean, my wife is wonderful, psychologist, well-trained, professional. And she was like,
00:32:32I remember she was saying like, I couldn't marry a guy with a high school education because she has a
00:32:38graduate degree. She says, I wanted a professional. I wanted a guy who's at least on my educational
00:32:43level, if not above. So thanks for giving me a graduate degree, university. So, I mean, it's just
00:32:50natural. So saying to a woman, don't settle, expect more, do better, aim high, hooks into her absolute
00:32:58biological urges to mate and date up or to date and mate up, I suppose.
00:33:07So, and some dating apps just completely hook into this because there's always someone potentially
00:33:13better, always someone to potentially taller or more handsome or with a better head of hair
00:33:20or wealthier or more successful or more ambitious. Like there's always, always something.
00:33:28It's like asking a rock star to settle down, right? More groupies, more groupies, more groupies,
00:33:34more groupies. And so the point of this, of course, is that the fact that Emma Watson
00:33:45looks good is fake. Now, it's not fake that she looks good. She looks good. She looks good. No
00:33:52question. It's artificial. We don't know what she's done to look good in the same way that,
00:33:59you know, Kevin Costner's hairline remains suspiciously stable, as does Matthew McConaughey's.
00:34:06I think he, he's on, they're on drugs to keep their hairline and all of that. And that's whatever. I
00:34:10don't, I don't care about that in particular, but it does because male sperm ages, and it's not great
00:34:15to have kids when you get older as a man, but you can still have kids and they don't,
00:34:21you can ejaculate frequently to help maintain the quality of your sperm. But, excuse me one second,
00:34:29but it's a, there's the drop off in fertility and quality, but it's obviously not off a cliff like
00:34:34it is for a woman who's about 40. So it's, uh, it's kind of fake. So she looks good,
00:34:46but what is the looking good supposed to do? The looking good is a proxy for egg quality.
00:34:50That's, that's what looking good is. Looking good is a proxy for egg quality. So if you don't have
00:34:58many lines on your face, that's a proxy for egg quality. If you have a very flat belly and a
00:35:05pert bottom, then that is a proxy for egg quality. If you have good muscle tone, that is a proxy
00:35:14for
00:35:14egg quality. If you don't have any gray in your hair, which a lot of women get in their thirties,
00:35:24that is a proxy for egg, so it's all a proxy for egg quality.
00:35:29But Botox does not hit, hit the eggs. And I'm not saying Emma Watson's on Botox. What do I know?
00:35:34Right? But it's a suspiciously unlined face. What do I know? Right? But it's not a proxy for egg
00:35:39quality. The slenderness, a slenderness is another proxy for egg quality. Because when a woman has a
00:35:49bunch of kids, she gets the, uh, the pooch. She gets a little, usually, I mean, generally a little
00:35:56weight around the middle, her breasts sag, she ages, obviously a little faster. So all of these things
00:36:06are proxies for equality. I had a theory, obviously completely unsubstantiated, but it's just an idle
00:36:14thought that one of the reasons that men developed the ability to make women laugh
00:36:20is when a woman laughs, you get to see more of her real age. Right? So what's it? Kim Kardashian
00:36:26barely smiles because she, she's the Cybertron sex doll carousel rider 9000. And so a man makes a
00:36:39woman laugh and you can see her age with the crow's feet around the eyes more easily. That's the old,
00:36:43uh, Blanche Dubois from Streetcar Named Desire. Like her boyfriend's like, we never go out during the
00:36:51daytime. Why are we always out in dark? Because she has to hide her age. That's why she acts so
00:36:58girly,
00:36:58although she's ran through, impaled
00:37:07and seems to be kind of a hebophile
00:37:10in the play. But she was a stand-in for a gay man, right? And then Tennessee Williams was gay
00:37:16and he said, I am Blanche Dubois. So it's a stand-in for a gay man. Body anxiety in the
00:37:22gay community
00:37:23and body standards, especially the white gay community is crazy high. So it's fake. So she
00:37:30looks maybe 25, but her eggs are not. Her eggs are not. And it bothers me. It bothers me that
00:37:43the end
00:37:43of the civilization comes from convincing women to delay childbirth. That's all. She's 36. Yeah,
00:37:55the, the post, the post is at 36. Emma Watson's body still looks absolutely incredible. Yeah,
00:37:59she looks great. But the eggs are aging and reminding women that their eggs are aging and that
00:38:09working on their appearance doesn't change their fertility, right? That's the key thing.
00:38:15Working on your appearance doesn't change your fertility.
00:38:21I mean, it doesn't hurt your fertility. I'm sure it's better. I mean, to be obese,
00:38:26this is also fat positivity, right? You also convince women to be less attractive,
00:38:32right? To cut their hair short, to not care about being overweight and some body positivity.
00:38:36You just do all that, right? You just do all that.
00:38:51So I don't like that people don't know this basic stuff, right? Getting pregnant for the first
00:38:59time, let's say at 40, is classified as advanced maternal age, geriatric pregnancy, 35 plus,
00:39:06carries higher risks for both the pregnant person, pregnant woman, and the baby compared with
00:39:11pregnancies in the 20s or early 30s. So yeah, you can still have a healthy pregnancy and baby
00:39:18with good prenatal care, but the odds of complications rise. And it's worse if it's your
00:39:26first time pregnancy. It's better and easier if you've given birth before. Natural conception is
00:39:36harder. By age 40, the chance of getting pregnant in any given menstrual cycle is roughly 5% for
00:39:41someone who is otherwise healthy. Egg quantity and quality decline, so many people use fertility
00:39:47treatments such as IVF. Miscarriage risk is substantially higher. Commonly cited around 25
00:39:55to 40% to 40% at age 40 versus under 15 to 16% in the 20s. Chromosomal issue
00:40:03in the eggs are a major
00:40:05reason, right? The DNA, the genetics are dying off. Ectopic pregnancy risk is also elevated. That's where
00:40:13the egg implants, I think, are the wrong place, and it's very dangerous, can kill the woman.
00:40:18The chance of a Down syndrome is about 1 in 85 to 100 at age 40 versus 1 in 1
00:40:25,480 at age 20.
00:40:28Other chromosomal abnormalities and some birth defects also rise. Genetic screening and diagnostic
00:40:35testing, NIPT, CVS, amniocentesis are routinely offered. Gestational diabetes, two to three times
00:40:43more common. Hypertensive disorders and preeclampsia risk increase, and first-time mothers at 40 have
00:40:48higher rates than those who have previously given birth. Placental problems, previa, abruption,
00:40:55accretus spectrum. Cesarean delivery rates commonly exceed 40% and can be much higher.
00:41:00Slow or obstructed labor is more frequent in first births.
00:41:05There is an increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage and other severe maternal morbidity.
00:41:11Pre-existing conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, or thyroid disease
00:41:16more common by age 40 further raise these risks. What are the risks to the baby? Preterm birth and
00:41:22low birth weight or small for gestational age infants. Still birth risks are roughly doubled
00:41:27compared with younger mothers. Absolute risks are still low, but enough that many guidelines
00:41:33recommend earlier delivery around 39 weeks for people 40 and older. Higher chance of,
00:41:41NICU admission, neonatal intensive care unit. And if your baby, if your newborn baby has to go
00:41:48into some sort of bubble, into NIC, well, I mean, I've known a couple of NICU babies and they are
00:41:59very strange as adults. Ah, we'll get into that another time.
00:42:10So absolute risks of the most severe outcomes, severe maternal morbidity, perinatal death,
00:42:16remain relatively low for a healthy 40-year-old, but they're higher than at younger ages. First-time
00:42:20status adds extra risk for preeclampsia and cesarean compared with someone at the same age who's given
00:42:24birth to four. And if you get one child who has no abnormalities, then you've got to breastfeed,
00:42:41right? And breastfeeding reduces fertility. And if you're breastfeeding for the recommended 18 months,
00:42:51that means if you get pregnant at 40 and you give birth at 41, you're going to be probably 42
00:42:57or 43
00:42:59by the time you try to have another kid. So it's a catastrophe for people who want, I mean,
00:43:07replacement birth rate 2.1, right?
00:43:12I mean, it is a catastrophe. Sorry, it just is. It's a catastrophe for the civilization.
00:43:19And women get very angry at this. Women get very, and I sympathize. I do. I really, really do.
00:43:29I sympathize. So this woman wrote, 99.9% of your brain cells are dead. All right.
00:43:44Someone else writes, it doesn't matter because you don't need 97% of them. You need about six max,
00:43:48and she has that. Again, I don't understand. This woman says, do males just want women to kill
00:43:54themselves after 25 or something. You are a positive chap. Must be a blast at parties.
00:44:06Is that true? Says someone. 97%. I know it's an anecdote, and I don't think I'm particularly
00:44:10fecund, but my wife had a youngest at age 40. Is that unusual? Yes. Whenever you talk like this,
00:44:16you actually sound like an incel. An incel. Can you just say even one sentence without being an
00:44:22overpowering creep? Yeah. And I, you know, I think this stuff used to work. I don't really think
00:44:31it works that much anymore. Like this, it's so creepy. It's so weird. Why are you talking about
00:44:35this? It's so bad. I don't think that works that much anymore, right? Is she just a baby-making
00:44:45machine? Got my wife pregnant on first try for our youngest when she was 40, right? So she already
00:44:52had kids before, and that's a different matter, right? Tom writes, this woman will be fertile
00:44:59for another 10 years at least. Now that's just not even close to true. The idea that she's
00:45:04going to be fertile at 46. Someone else says about me, says the dude who did so many drugs,
00:45:13he has no more viable swimmers left in his body. What if you think I've been a drug abuser?
00:45:19Where does that come from? And this other woman says, gosh, I suppose she should just give
00:45:25up and offer herself now, correct? And Tom writes, not necessarily. She might have frozen
00:45:31her eggs just to spite. You losers. Why, TF, are you talking about eggs?
00:45:42Store them under a microscope, did you? Effing weird internet losers, man.
00:45:51Well, you're disgusting. No wonder girls don't want to F you. What a weird thing for you to post.
00:46:00Listen, I mean, a man's sperm is worse, sister's woman. Most fertility issues are caused by men's
00:46:05declining sperm after 35, the pot calling the kettle black. I don't think that's really true.
00:46:10And also, men should have children younger too. I mean, if I'm saying women should have
00:46:17children younger, I'm also, because, you know, generally age matching is a pretty good idea.
00:46:23So. And this other person says, this no-egg stupidity is based on a misrepresentation of
00:46:40science. Women don't have a bag of fertile eggs that die out throughout time. They're just fertile
00:46:45for a certain amount of years. Watson could have 10 children if she wanted. A 40-year-old woman can
00:46:49still get pregnant without much effort. The real issue is health risks. Yeah. So, the level of
00:46:59delusion is astonishing. So, a 36-year-old woman
00:47:11who is not engaged, who says she doesn't really think she wants to get married or marriage isn't
00:47:19really for her. She just is concerned about divorce. And of course, she's got a lot of assets,
00:47:22right? So, if a woman has a lot of assets, which is, you know, the government is about taking money
00:47:27from men and giving it to women. So, if a woman has a lot of assets, then she has concern
00:47:30that in a divorce she might lose her assets and so on, right? But the idea that it's not, look,
00:47:39if she started immediately trying to have kids, she could probably get two. She could probably get
00:47:43two. If she's breastfeeding for the recommended amount of time, let's say she starts having a kid
00:47:48now, takes her six months to get pregnant, maybe she's 37, and then she is almost 38 by the time
00:47:54the kid is born, and then she breastfeeds for a year and a half. So, then she's almost 40 or
00:47:5940-ish,
00:47:59and then she tries for another. She could, she could get out too. She could. That's still below
00:48:04replacement rates, right? And the fact that women are deferring having children in the West is one of
00:48:11the major excuses for mass immigration. So, it's not. And, and let's say that she has her eggs frozen,
00:48:27well, IVF, I mean, obviously expensive, she's crazy wealthy, so that doesn't hugely matter,
00:48:35but, oh, people are saying the neck, upper arms, and elbows always give it away. Yeah,
00:48:39because elbow wrinkles, right? So, and as far as, so, this woman writes, the way men in these
00:48:48replies think 36 is ancient while 40-year-old men are still in their prime is the real biology
00:48:53lesson here. Well, I don't recommend becoming an older father. I was an older father, not through
00:49:00choice, but through circumstances. So, a 40-year-old man is hitting his earnings prime. So, he can
00:49:14support if he's reasonably intelligent and, you know, has managed to escape the curse of not hiring
00:49:20white men. But a man who's 40 is in his earnings prime and can support a family. A woman who's
00:49:2940
00:49:30is not in her fertility prime, but she's in her fertility freefall. So, as far as resources go,
00:49:38right, a 20-year-old woman is very fertile, a 20-year-old man is broke. A 40-year-old
00:49:44woman
00:49:45is not really fertile, and a 40-year-old man, usually, if he's intelligent, has good resources,
00:49:53good money. So, nobody cares about the woman's eggs. Well, I think we do care about these
00:50:10things. I do care about these things because I think we had or have the best civilization in
00:50:21human history came out of the West. The West is the best. I believe it is the best civilization in
00:50:26human history. I have personally sacrificed enormous amounts of money and reputation and
00:50:34stability and so on in order to defend, protect, and enhance the virtues of the West, which means
00:50:40absolutely frickin' nothing if women don't have kids. If Western women don't have kids,
00:50:48my entire life's work has been in vain. There's no point maintaining the values of a civilization
00:50:53if women aren't willing to have kids.
00:51:01So, don't you care about the continuance of your civilization, or is that just a high IQ trait?
00:51:06And people are just like, well, I guess I could watch Breaking Bad again.
00:51:23It does matter.
00:51:27It does matter the suffering of our ancestors to create a relatively free society, free markets,
00:51:33free speech, smaller government. It does matter whether that continues or not.
00:51:40Now, of course, I've been saying that you promote the infertility of the most intelligent women in
00:51:47society, and you promote the fertility of the least intelligent women in society. And that way,
00:51:53through the welfare state, you overwhelm the system, there's much less productivity,
00:51:56and there's much more demand for single mother welfare and all the other associated costs with
00:52:05fecundity or fertility without the associated deferral of gratification, you end up with
00:52:16major drains on the system through less intelligent family planning and far fewer contributions to the
00:52:23system because the most productive men are less motivated or ambitious. Or if they are motivated or
00:52:30ambitious, they blow their money on absolutely stupid vanity purchases, and they don't spend their
00:52:40money on their families, they spend their money on, you know, Bugattis and yachts and this stupid stuff.
00:52:49Or, you know, really cool houses, cool bachelor pads, big screen TVs, video game systems,
00:52:54none of which actually ends up with the birth rate that sustains a civilization.
00:53:03So, all right, that's sort of what I wanted to get across. Let us get to your questions and
00:53:11comments. Thank you so much for dropping by today, freedomaine.com slash donate.
00:53:17All right. Somebody says, I love the viral tweets you make. Thank you. I appreciate that.
00:53:24All right. Good morning, Steph. Good morning, all. Good morning, good morning.
00:53:27He took a lot of steroids. Yeah. Look at Mike Mensner. Uh, Menser. Sorry. Died alone,
00:53:35rigged with speed. Is that right? Faith and truth can coexist. Sadly, no. I wish they could. I wish they
00:53:43could. But faith is believing the impossible. And the truth cannot be impossible, because if
00:53:52something is impossible, it cannot be true. There's no such thing as a square circle.
00:53:55Faith and truth cannot coexist. Truth requires logical consistency and empirical evidence.
00:54:04And religion, religious entities are logically self-contradictory, and there's therefore no
00:54:12empirical evidence, right? We don't need to scour the whole universe to find out if a square circle
00:54:16exists. Plenty of Andrew Tate viewers. Yeah, well.
00:54:25Alexander Grace is sounding more like you as he posts. He's talking about the unfair fact that men
00:54:30pay most of the taxes to women who largely hate them because of feminism. Yeah. You know, people forget
00:54:36just how easy it is to turn women against their men. And this is an evolutionary adaptation, of course,
00:54:42right? Which is that women regularly got conquered throughout human history, or women regularly got
00:54:49conquered, and then they had to turn against their existing men and pair bond with the new men, the
00:54:55conquerors, the Genghis Khans or whoever, right? So it is actually quite easy to turn women against
00:55:01the men they grew up with and turn them to an out-group preference to the new men, right? Which
00:55:07is why a lot of women end up having massive sympathy for outside groups, even hostile groups. All you have
00:55:15to do is say that their existing men are both oppressive and weak, and then they'll bend towards the new.
00:55:25And Alexander Grace, I used to watch him from time to time. He did a very interesting show
00:55:29where he had his face analyzed for attractiveness and so on. Bro has a high but stable forehead,
00:55:35if I remember rightly. But I don't want to say he's a one-trick pony, but it is very much,
00:55:42I mean, to me, it's audience entrapment. I will never let you guys bully me. Actually,
00:55:48freedomain.com slash donate. You can bribe me, but you can't bully me. Audience entrapment is when
00:55:54you talk about a particular topic, that topic becomes very popular,
00:55:57and then you stay on that topic. And then you're afraid to try new topics because it's going to
00:56:02alienate your existing audience. And I do not want to do that.
00:56:11All right. Somebody says, I have a friend called Josh. You're kidding. I'm sorry.
00:56:20Oh, dad jokes. I have a friend called Josh. He is in his late 30s. Good looking. Front's a band
00:56:26that is
00:56:27like emo paramour. Funny, but he drinks and is often broke. Is he right in choosing not to reproduce?
00:56:41So why haven't you metaphorically bitch slapped Josh silly and told him to grow up and get out of his
00:56:51garage band? Look, I'm a big one for following your dreams. Just not off a cliff. Follow your dreams.
00:56:59If you're passionate about something, you know, I wanted to write novels. I love writing novels.
00:57:04It's great. It's powerful. It's deep. It's exciting. It's one of the most challenging things
00:57:09I've ever done to create a deeply human narrative while also promoting virtue is a real contradiction.
00:57:14I think Ayn Rand went a bit too far in the promoting virtue and most naturalistic novels
00:57:19can examine humanity without promoting virtue. So for me, wrestling virtue into a deeply human
00:57:24and empathetic story is the biggest, one of the greatest challenges I've ever faced. I started
00:57:29writing my first novel. I wrote my first short stories when I was six. I started writing my first
00:57:33novel when I was 11 and I love to write. I took Canada's premier writing course, did very well,
00:57:41love to write. And after my company was sold for the second time, I decided to take a break from
00:57:50the
00:57:50business world and work on novels because I was doing this writing course. I had an agent and I
00:57:55was getting the most amazing reviews from the woman who was my writing teacher. I still remember her name.
00:58:03And I decided to take a year and a half off, live off my savings, and I wrote two novels.
00:58:09One was
00:58:09called The God of Atheists, which was a modern comedy, and the other was a sweeping epic historical
00:58:15novel called Almost, about a British family and a German family between World War I and World War II.
00:58:21And of course, I grew up in England and I'm half German, so I had a fair amount of stories
00:58:27and history
00:58:28to delve through. And I worked on all of that, and I got the most amazing review. A PhD
00:58:36reviewer, a PhD in English reviewer said that The God of Atheists is like, he literally said,
00:58:41finally, we have the great Canadian novel. Finally, someone has produced the great Canadian novel.
00:58:46And it's a great book, by the way. It's a great book. Anyway, so I got a job because then
00:58:52I went
00:58:52to work and every time the phone rang, I'm like, well, I've got a book contract. I'm going to go
00:58:57tour
00:58:58of the book. I'm going to go because I'm also very good at doing dramatic readings because I have a
00:59:02decent voice, good voice training, and of course, years of acting training. So I'm pretty good at
00:59:09that. So because I remember going to see P.J. O'Rourke doing his book readings and so on seemed
00:59:13like a lot of fun. And so I thought, that's it. I'm off. And it never happened. And of course,
00:59:18now I realized looking back that it's stories about generally white people written by a white male,
00:59:27and white males can't get published anymore and haven't been for decades, really, unless it's
00:59:31some existing fan base that you can make money on. And because I'm anti-collectivist, anti-socialism,
00:59:40anti-communism, my book's really just poor. It's my big anti-socialist novel. And so there's all
00:59:49socialists and they hate white males, so you can't get published. So I can't just keep writing novels
00:59:56with no income, right? So just have to deal with the facts, deal with the facts. This is my,
01:00:02this is my plan B. It wasn't even a plan. It wasn't even a plan. And it's so funny because
01:00:08you never know whether things are good in life, usually early on. Because when I got the job,
01:00:13it was a good job. And it was a great job, in fact, director of technology for a software company.
01:00:20And man, it was a long commute. I went originally across the 401, which for those of you don't know,
01:00:26is the government highway, which is slow as constipation. And then there was a private
01:00:31highway that was put in called the 407. It took me an hour, over an hour and a half to
01:00:35get to work
01:00:36on the 400, because it was just stop and go the whole time. But it took me like 50 minutes
01:00:42to get
01:00:42to work on the private highway, maybe an hour. And I was like, ah, it's a long commute. That's
01:00:47negative. But then the long commute ended up being fantastic because I could record podcasts in the car.
01:00:53That's great. So if your friend Josh is in his late 30s and is living like a teenager and hasn't
01:01:01made it in the music business, like at some point, you got to let it go. If it's not working,
01:01:08you got to let it go. You got to let it go.
01:01:16And you got to tell them, bro, late 30s. Because you know, everybody who succeeds says,
01:01:22follow your dreams. It's like, well, yeah, but that's survivor bias, right?
01:01:27Because you don't hear from all the people who followed their dreams off a cliff.
01:01:30And your friend is still drinking like he's a teenager. And he's in a band that he's broke.
01:01:37And, you know, the only thing that I would say to people in the music industry
01:01:41is if you're in the music industry, you've got to spend most of your time writing music,
01:01:48write songs, write music, write songs, write music, write songs, write music,
01:01:51and then play that. You'll never get anywhere in particular being a cover band. I mean,
01:01:57it's fine to start with and all of that. Queen did some covers, see what a fool I've been.
01:02:03And they would do some blue stuff. They did Manish Boy, I think it was. I'm a man. I did
01:02:10that one,
01:02:10too, actually, years ago on the show. So write your own stuff and see if people like it. That's all
01:02:16you
01:02:16can do. And if you can't gain any traction after years of writing your own material, and for some
01:02:21reason I always remember that the drummer, Radar O'Reilly, Gary someone or other in the old show
01:02:28MASH, wrote hundreds and hundreds of songs. And never got anywhere. If you can't write songs that
01:02:36people really like, your music, career is just a hobby. All right.
01:02:49Hypergamy has been hijacked. Hypergamy is supposed to fade away once she finds her man. Sure. I mean,
01:02:53there's a reason why nature made women who've had kids less attractive. So you women are supposed to,
01:02:58from the waving wall of penai, the penis, from the waving wall of penai that want to impregnate
01:03:06them, they choose the very best. And then they have to live with that choice because they're having
01:03:11babies, they're raising toddlers, they're tired, their hair's a mess, they lose their figure to some
01:03:15degree. And then they can't trade up after they have a bunch of kids. Like you can't get a more
01:03:21attractive man after you've had a bunch of kids than you got when you were young and without children.
01:03:30So yeah, hypergamy is supposed to fade away once you start having kids.
01:03:35I came home to a mushroom growing on my couch once. I bet it didn't just pop up.
01:03:46All right. Convince women that being feminine is not necessarily attractive. Feminine women are
01:03:52friendly looking to please their partner. Oh yeah, for sure. So what you do to kill the birth rate as
01:03:59well, is you say to women that you should be what you want.
01:04:10Right. If you want an attractive, hard-driving man, if what you find attractive is a hard-driving,
01:04:18aggressive man, then you should be hard-driving and aggressive. Well, a straight man wants a woman,
01:04:27he does not want a man in a woman's body as a whole. So saying to women,
01:04:35you should become or manifest the traits you most admire in a man kills the birth rate.
01:04:44Which is why, uh, there's all these girl power songs. There's one about crashing a car. There's
01:04:51one about, you know, grabbing a cop's gun. There's, you know, these, these riot girls,
01:04:56these tank girls, these Joan Jets, although I think she was lesbian. But yeah, you just,
01:05:01you gotta be tough. You gotta be strong. You gotta be, um, Leather Tuscadero. God,
01:05:05why do I remember these stupid things from my childhood? Leather Tuscadero was some,
01:05:09was it Susie Quattro? I don't know. Why, why do I know these things? Why? I don't know where my
01:05:14keys are, but I know some stupid show from 40 years ago. So in Happy Days, Leather Tuscadero was
01:05:19this ass-kicking tough girl. Erin Moran, Chachi, Joanie, Joanie loves Chachi. Why Scott Baio? I don't
01:05:27want these things in my head, but they just won't leave. But yeah, so, uh, Erin Moran was more feminine,
01:05:34and they brought in Leather Tuscadero to be the tough girl, the, you know,
01:05:39and all of that sort of stuff, right? So yeah, you say to women that, uh, if you want
01:05:46a strong, assertive, masculine, hard-driving man, then you should be a strong, assertive,
01:05:52hard-driving, masculine woman. And it doesn't work. The more masculine the man, the more feminine a
01:05:59woman he wants. The more successful the man, the more feminine a woman he wants. That's just the way
01:06:02that yin and yang and balancing works. A very masculine man, he's a very feminine. I think I'm
01:06:09fairly masculine. Masculine, I say. What, what? I think I'm fairly masculine. My wife is very,
01:06:14very feminine. And it absolutely works. And the boss babes that I dated when I was younger,
01:06:19okay, it was fine. But you don't want to come home from dealing with aggressive men in general all day
01:06:30at work and then deal with an aggressive woman at home. Doesn't work. Doesn't work at all.
01:06:38Steph, you're looking super breedable today. Keep up the good work. Why thank you. Why thank you.
01:06:44I was actually, uh, not, not too long ago, I was at a comedy show and the comedian actually recognized
01:06:50me,
01:06:52right? So he can't really see into the audience, right? Because you've got these lights. It's one of
01:06:56the reasons why Live Aid was so great for Queen because they'd never really seen their audience before
01:07:00because normally at this crazy light show, they can't see what's going on out there. I can hear
01:07:03the audience, can't see it. So he couldn't really see. So he asked, uh, me my name because I like
01:07:09bantering with the comedians. And I said, my name is Stephane. And he's like, Molyneux? Stephane
01:07:14Molyneux? Ladies and gentlemen, this is the most famous person in the house tonight. It's the most
01:07:18famous person in the club tonight. It's kind of neat. Uh, very funny guy, by the way. Uh, all right.
01:07:24Um,
01:07:27somebody says, uh,
01:07:31I married a Chinese girl, master's degree, high IQ and zero feminism. Yes. And there's some pluses
01:07:36there. The minuses is your children may have identity issues because of the biracial
01:07:40element, right? Maybe you having kids or not, right?
01:07:46I think telling women that they are born with all their value is also destructive. There's always
01:07:51room for improvement. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Inflate the vanity of women and you destroy
01:07:54the civilization because then they, no man is ever good enough for them. And then they
01:07:58just, you're just running out the clock. It's just delay, delay, delay, right? There's a sort
01:08:02of famous scene in the Hobbit where the dwarves are captured. The dwarves and Bilbo are captured
01:08:09by the, the trolls and the trolls, well, if sunlight hits them, they turn to stone, ELO style.
01:08:17And it's just a matter of delaying, just delay, just delay, delay, delay. And then they get hit
01:08:21by the sunlight. And, uh, delaying is a very, uh, the Hobbit is a lot about delaying, right? Like
01:08:30when Gandalf first goes to Bilbo, he brings the
01:08:36dwarves in one by one. And later with Beorn, they also bring the dwarves in one by one.
01:08:41And so, yeah, just, just about delaying. Delaying is good. Just run out the clock.
01:08:45Just delay, just delay, just delay. You don't have to win. You just have to get your enemy to delay,
01:08:50right? Emma Watson is a weirdo. Isn't she the one, there's like a famous picture of her
01:08:58looking very frightened and being grabbed at and having her arms pinned by Harvey Weinstein.
01:09:03Did he just get 15 years? I think he just got 15 years.
01:09:08With all the things men have to improve to attract women, picking a young woman is the
01:09:12natural investment they will make. Harder work will prompt a desire for better rewards. Sure.
01:09:17Yeah. I mean, experience is a plus for men in terms of income. Experience actually is a negative
01:09:25for women because a woman who's had more sexual partners is far less able to pair bond. She's just
01:09:31bitter and used up. And, and she's been lied to a lot, right? So the trust issues are very,
01:09:38very high. All right. Having kids was the best thing I ever did with my life as a man.
01:09:47Can't help but agree, except I was not the plural. Age is just a programmed chemical trigger
01:09:53complex combined with solar damage, DNA failure, chemical trigger stages include sex, breed,
01:09:58age, mammalian, bioelectric trigger stages. Okay. We age and deteriorate. Thanks for the
01:10:07addition to the conversation. Having kids is how we have a free Western culture in the 2100s,
01:10:142200s and so on. It's serving a purpose greater than just pleasuring yourself. A lot of joy comes
01:10:18from having purpose. Yes. Yes. Affordability hysteria isn't going to help birth rates either.
01:10:23Yeah. Yeah. We're not as wealthy as the boomers for sure. For sure. I was crazy. Crazy. When I was
01:10:29at the nightclub, I had one of my very rare drinks. I got one for my wife, two martinis, $36
01:10:39plus tip
01:10:42of $40 for two drinks. Absolutely mad. I don't know how people go out anymore.
01:10:49Like I don't, I can't do it. I was just, I was shocked because I don't buy drinks very often.
01:10:54So
01:10:54I literally was shocked. And this was not some super high end place.
01:11:05Having children is the main goal of any living organism, second to basic survival.
01:11:09When you have children that survive, you are a successful organism, biologically speaking.
01:11:12And in particular, in particular, white males are the most pro-free market, the smallest government
01:11:21and the most pro-free speech. And so you are having those who maintain free speech if you have white
01:11:29males. She is rich and famous. Why would she want kids? Why would she want kids?
01:11:43Because she enjoys her life. And if you enjoy your life because of the sacrifice to four billion years
01:11:49of ancestors, you should pay it the frack forward.
01:12:03Having a child is the best thing I've ever done. As a man, I want more.
01:12:07Yeah. Thank you, Steph, for sharing this truth. I hope more women break free from the idea that
01:12:11waiting until 40 to start thinking about children is a genuinely viable plan. The other thing too,
01:12:16of course, is that you have these endless stories of women who have these unsatisfying marriages,
01:12:23just not great. Like you don't want to make the man crazy and abusive and violent and destructive
01:12:27in that way. You just want to make him kind of repetitive, maybe a little boring. He likes his
01:12:31Sunday roast and he likes his footy. And that's it. Like you just, just make him kind of boring,
01:12:37kind of dull. And, and then the woman leaves him and she loses weight and she opens up a restaurant
01:12:45on the Mediterranean and some shaggy head guy with abs who does sculpture, falls in lust with her.
01:12:52She has great sex in an attic somewhere. And she just realized, you just bribe them with hedonism
01:12:58to leave stability and protection.
01:13:04My ancestors didn't struggle and die for our society to collapse due to hedonism and apathy. Yeah.
01:13:14Optimal. Just live your selfish life and let the people who want society to persist, do what they need to
01:13:19do.
01:13:20Yeah.
01:13:24Steffi literally has only one kid.
01:13:26That's true. That's true. It was very unfortunate.
01:13:30It was very unfortunate.
01:13:40All right.
01:13:42Freak Nietzsche says someone viewed pity as a life denying corrosive emotion that degrades both the
01:13:47person who pities and the person who is pitied. Yeah, for sure.
01:13:52Hi, Steffi. I always remember what you said in one talk. Cancel culture is a dress rehearsal for
01:13:56mass murder. So true. Yeah, for sure. For sure.
01:14:00And of course, when you say to women that, you know, the eggs are dying off and fertility is a
01:14:07huge
01:14:07issue and men of quality want kids. Quality men want children. A man who's mentally healthy
01:14:15wants children because that's sort of the natural state of things, right?
01:14:20And so, and men become ambitious in general because they want to have kids and want to have excess
01:14:26resources to have kids. So a woman who's 40 who wants a high quality man, well, the high quality
01:14:31man is going to go for a younger woman. Right?
01:14:38Good to see you back on YouTube. I remember watching your videos as a teen. Now I'm a happily married
01:14:42man. If I heard correctly, you had a stint with Christianity. What was that saga like for you?
01:14:46That's good. It was interesting. It was interesting.
01:14:52Any idiot can write a novel. Unless you make a hundred K per book, it means nothing to me.
01:14:56That's a fair point. That's a fair point. All right. Uh, let's get, uh, somebody in who wants
01:15:01to chat. Thank you for dropping by. All right. You had a question, comment, issue, criticism.
01:15:11What is on your mind, my friend?
01:15:13Hello. Um, I just had a question. Uh, uh, I wanted to ask this yesterday, but, um,
01:15:21being that, uh, Isabella is, uh, probably one of the first, uh, children raised with, uh,
01:15:27uh, peaceful parenting. I was just curious, like, uh, what, what is her view on, uh, the current state
01:15:33of the world? If she kind of has anything like that? I mean, that's a big and complex topic. Um,
01:15:40I would rather, if she wants to come on the show and talk about it, uh, I'm sorry. So it's
01:15:45an
01:15:45interesting question and you're totally fine to ask it, but I wouldn't want to speak on her
01:15:50behalf, uh, as far as that goes, because, you know, her views are evolving and she gets a lot
01:15:54of input and feedback from a variety of people. So it's a great question, but I don't want to speak
01:15:58on her behalf. Um, you know, there, there is obviously my view is that there are great challenges
01:16:04in the world, but for me, at least there's never been a better time to be alive. Never been a
01:16:12better
01:16:13time to be alive. I mean, I could have gone to the grave with all my thoughts gone. And this
01:16:22was my
01:16:23novel, Just Poor. It's about a genius who has very little capacity to have traction in the world.
01:16:33All right. Well, thanks everybody for a great show. I really do appreciate it. Have yourself
01:16:37a wonderful, wonderful day. We will talk to you soon. Freedomain.com slash donate. And don't forget
