maybe something there 5 00:00:29,140 --> 00:00:22,109 beyond the realm of man you know that's 6 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:37,320 [Music] 7 00:00:48,070 --> 00:00:46,130 sweet hallelujah and hello higher side 8 00:00:49,900 --> 00:00:48,080 chatters drink a little drink smokin a 9 00:00:52,270 --> 00:00:49,910 little smoke and doing the damn thing 10 00:00:54,549 --> 00:00:52,280 from sunny San Diego I'm Greg Carl wood 11 00:00:56,710 --> 00:00:54,559 and today is a pretty unique episode 12 00:00:58,330 --> 00:00:56,720 even for us and I think it's going to 13 00:01:00,280 --> 00:00:58,340 get a lot of gears turning out there in 14 00:01:02,229 --> 00:01:00,290 people's heads on subjects they might 15 00:01:04,060 --> 00:01:02,239 not think about all that much or even 16 00:01:06,670 --> 00:01:04,070 consider under the conspiracy umbrella 17 00:01:09,550 --> 00:01:06,680 so it's a fun one but we did have some 18 00:01:11,499 --> 00:01:09,560 sound issues early on and big thanks to 19 00:01:13,540 --> 00:01:11,509 Conor he is a great sport sticking 20 00:01:15,639 --> 00:01:13,550 around for an hour while I fiddle with 21 00:01:17,980 --> 00:01:15,649 knobs and dials just trying to appease 22 00:01:20,020 --> 00:01:17,990 the tech gods and then recording the 23 00:01:23,230 --> 00:01:20,030 two-hour show with me that is a 24 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:23,240 commitment folks but anyway this show is 25 00:01:26,980 --> 00:01:24,890 a bit stitched together from a few 26 00:01:28,330 --> 00:01:26,990 different source files but I don't think 27 00:01:30,850 --> 00:01:28,340 you'll notice but I did have to say 28 00:01:32,620 --> 00:01:30,860 something also Conor's breath is pretty 29 00:01:35,889 --> 00:01:32,630 loud at first but we straighten that out 30 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:35,899 too content wise like I said unique show 31 00:01:39,190 --> 00:01:37,610 and I enjoy trying to push the envelope 32 00:01:41,770 --> 00:01:39,200 if you haven't figured that out by now 33 00:01:43,930 --> 00:01:41,780 also it's always great hearing from 34 00:01:46,180 --> 00:01:43,940 people who have led interesting non 35 00:01:48,639 --> 00:01:46,190 cookie-cutter lives and counterfeits 36 00:01:50,650 --> 00:01:48,649 have bill for sure he's a thoughtful guy 37 00:01:53,199 --> 00:01:50,660 with a deep understanding of many topics 38 00:01:55,630 --> 00:01:53,209 and sort of sits lotus style in the Venn 39 00:01:57,339 --> 00:01:55,640 diagram between the occult and sexuality 40 00:02:00,160 --> 00:01:57,349 and that's an interesting place to be 41 00:02:01,870 --> 00:02:00,170 some of his positions on sexual freedom 42 00:02:04,029 --> 00:02:01,880 are pretty bold and I'm curious how the 43 00:02:06,669 --> 00:02:04,039 crowd will react there's always a bit of 44 00:02:09,309 --> 00:02:06,679 conservatism in conspiracy even if I 45 00:02:11,460 --> 00:02:09,319 don't own that I definitely recognize it 46 00:02:14,140 --> 00:02:11,470 especially around topics like sexuality 47 00:02:16,180 --> 00:02:14,150 but sometimes I wonder if maybe we 48 00:02:18,070 --> 00:02:16,190 aren't policing and judging and shaming 49 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:18,080 ourselves a little too much based on the 50 00:02:23,229 --> 00:02:19,970 training we've gotten or the residue 51 00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:23,239 from authorities religious and otherwise 52 00:02:27,610 --> 00:02:25,760 I think most of us can see or at least 53 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:27,620 entertain how our thoughts and attitudes 54 00:02:33,940 --> 00:02:31,130 about sex can be and are manipulated and 55 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:33,950 over legislated and used against us and 56 00:02:38,110 --> 00:02:36,290 we probably should examine that really 57 00:02:40,089 --> 00:02:38,120 as long as nobody gets hurt go wild 58 00:02:41,979 --> 00:02:40,099 right to each their own and I think we 59 00:02:43,929 --> 00:02:41,989 all want people to be as free and open 60 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:43,939 and comfortable as they can be as they 61 00:02:47,679 --> 00:02:46,250 want to be in all areas of life and we 62 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:47,689 definitely don't need the government 63 00:02:51,490 --> 00:02:49,490 making laws about what we can do it 64 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:51,500 our own bodies I think that applies to 65 00:02:58,540 --> 00:02:56,090 drugs sex magic and suicide to be honest 66 00:03:00,640 --> 00:02:58,550 and even that's a radical idea I guess 67 00:03:02,950 --> 00:03:00,650 but it is your body right 68 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:02,960 or is it that's a whole other show 69 00:03:07,330 --> 00:03:05,450 entirely but I apologize for the sound 70 00:03:08,890 --> 00:03:07,340 issues you might notice but like the 71 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:08,900 newt man in mining Python

--> 00:04:23,920 all right higher side shadows we have 91 00:04:28,330 --> 00:04:26,480 seen heard and in some lucky cases even 92 00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:28,340 experienced enough to know there's more 93 00:04:32,590 --> 00:04:30,110 to this world than just what we can see 94 00:04:34,330 --> 00:04:32,600 yet we're still constantly bombarded 95 00:04:36,340 --> 00:04:34,340 with mainstream materialist mouthpieces 96 00:04:37,870 --> 00:04:36,350 telling us their model for reality is 97 00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:37,880 the only acceptable option for an 98 00:04:40,780 --> 00:04:38,960 intelligent person 99 00:04:42,910 --> 00:04:40,790 well we've explored many of the ways 100 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:42,920 this worldview serves the power elite by 101 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:44,930 making the masses feel insignificant and 102 00:04:49,030 --> 00:04:47,210 small and many times we followed the 103 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:49,040 long campaigns that eliminated schools 104 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:50,090 of thought that promoted 105 00:04:54,460 --> 00:04:51,650 self-development higher consciousness 106 00:04:56,290 --> 00:04:54,470 and even engagement with the other so 107 00:04:58,300 --> 00:04:56,300 it's not just these or Taric areas that 108 00:05:00,040 --> 00:04:58,310 are often manipulated by authorities put 109 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:00,050 all freedoms and whether we're talking 110 00:05:04,660 --> 00:05:02,330 about the occult psychedelics or even 111 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:04,670 sexuality the long repeating pattern of 112 00:05:08,770 --> 00:05:06,650 history is full-scale suppression and 113 00:05:10,690 --> 00:05:08,780 constant state-sponsored reminders that 114 00:05:12,430 --> 00:05:10,700 any of these things capable of elevating 115 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:12,440 a person beyond feelings of helpless 116 00:05:16,030 --> 00:05:13,130 servant 117 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:16,040 will not be tolerated will throw off 118 00:05:19,870

going 121 00:05:25,870 --> 00:05:23,750 to look deep into how Western attitudes 122 00:05:26,980 --> 00:05:25,880 about sexuality have served the masters 123 00:05:29,350 --> 00:05:26,990 we're going to be exploring 124 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:29,360 anthroposophy examining some great 125 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:31,610 thinkers and sex radicals of history and 126 00:05:36,430 --> 00:05:33,890

00:06:44,219 --> 00:06:42,400 into the minds and ideas of alternative 161 00:06:46,860 --> 00:06:44,229 thinkers throughout history like Rudolf 162 00:06:48,270 --> 00:06:46,870 Steiner and as anthroposophy philosophy 163 00:06:50,580 --> 00:06:48,280 which I know you've studied quite a lot 164 00:06:53,580 --> 00:06:50,590 and I've also been thinking more deeply 165 00:06:55,110 --> 00:06:53,590 about how sexuality ties into oppressive 166 00:06:57,330 --> 00:06:55,120 rulership which I really hadn't 167 00:06:59,129 --> 00:06:57,340 previously but to grease these wheels 168 00:07:00,960 --> 00:06:59,139 let's start by talking about that event 169 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:00,970 you are doing with our mutual friend mr. 170 00:07:04,170 --> 00:07:02,289 white very rare to have them in 171 00:07:05,939 --> 00:07:04,180 California and this thing you guys got 172 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:05,949 going on seems like it's going to be a 173 00:07:09,180 --> 00:07:07,570 great time I think I've heard a joke 174 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:09,190 that starts like this but I guess it 175 00:07:13,260 --> 00:07:11,530 could be described as a chaos magician a 176 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:13,270 porn star and a mortician walk into a 177 00:07:19,260 --> 00:07:16,090 bar right yeah and the mortician to 178 00:07:21,510 --> 00:07:19,270 which you refer is Caitlyn Dodi who 179 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:21,520 wrote the best near Times best-selling 180 00:07:26,850 --> 00:07:23,650 book smoke gets in your eyes which is 181 00:07:29,490 --> 00:07:26,860 about her time working at crematorium 182 00:07:30,689 --> 00:07:29,500 and she's a death right expert she does 183 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:30,699 the YouTube series called ask a 184 00:07:34,589 --> 00:07:31,810 mortician she's going to be moderating 185 00:07:36,990 --> 00:07:34,599 the event and there will also be tarot 186 00:07:41,010 --> 00:07:37,000 reading by Rachel true who is one of the 187 00:07:42,719 --> 00:07:41,020 witches from the craft so it's going to 188 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:42,729 be a dope event I'm really excited and 189 00:07:48,150 --> 00:07:45,690 just Gordon I'd sort of go deep on 190 00:07:49,620 --> 00:07:48,160 things that you know we get to talk 191 00:07:51,689 --> 00:07:49,630 about on rune suit but we don't really 192 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:51,699 get to do in any other public forum at 193 00:07:55,379 --> 00:07:52,330 least not yet 194 00:07:57,180 --> 00:07:55,389 and for LA I think an event like this is 195 00:07:59,779 --> 00:07:57,190 just really good for the timeline of la 196 00:08:02,310 --> 00:07:59,789 la it's like a really sort of occult II 197 00:08:04,980 --> 00:08:02,320 mystical weirdo City with all these 198 00:08:07,290 --> 00:08:04,990 different kinds of time eras crammed at 199 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:07,300 once together so I think that this will 200 00:08:13,230 --> 00:08:10,330 sort of raise the magical consciousness 201 00:08:16,110 --> 00:08:13,240 of the city hopefully or if not people 202 00:08:18,180 --> 00:08:16,120 just get drunk you know what we're both 203 00:08:21,029 --> 00:08:18,190 right on yeah cheers to that 204 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:21,039 and yeah it sounds like it's going to be 205 00:08:23,790 --> 00:08:22,330 a great event I'm really hoping I can 206 00:08:25,830 --> 00:08:23,800 make it up there but that's a really 207 00:08:27,540 --> 00:08:25,840 busy week for me it's when a lot of my 208 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:27,550 out-of-town wedding guests start 209 00:08:31,890 --> 00:08:29,530 arriving but either way it sounds like a 210 00:08:34,199 --> 00:08:31,900 blast and so to get into the meet here 211 00:08:36,060 --> 00:08:34,209 not you know no pun intended I wanted to 212 00:08:38,250 --> 00:08:36,070 discuss sexuality pretty early on 213 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:38,260 because it is largely a conspiracy show 214 00:08:42,569 --> 00:08:39,610 that I run here and I've been thinking 215 00:08:44,460 --> 00:08:42,579 about just how thorny a topic sex is for 216 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:44,470 most of the conspiracy world we think 217 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:46,930 about Eyes Wide Shut parties and 218 00:08:50,310 --> 00:08:48,850 Mansion orgies and we might start to get 219 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:50,320 a little nervous about these things 220 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:52,450 because of that association plus 221 00:08:57,510 --> 00:08:55,930 conservatism has a strong thread running 222 00:08:58,920 --> 00:08:57,520 through the conspiracy world I haven't 223 00:09:00,870 --> 00:08:58,930 always identified with it but it's 224 00:09:02,579 --> 00:09:00,880 definitely there and I understand those 225 00:09:04,079 --> 00:09:02,589 feelings a little bit but I wanted to 226 00:09:06,030 --> 00:09:04,089 read something that you wrote that 227 00:09:08,070 --> 00:09:06,040 really was a light bulb moment for me 228 00:09:10,500 --> 00:09:08,080 and one of your articles you say the war 229 00:09:12,870 --> 00:09:10,510 on sex is the oldest and most oppressive 230 00:09:15,420 --> 00:09:12,880 war on consciousness sex and sexuality 231 00:09:17,460 --> 00:09:15,430 are intimately totally linked to our 232 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:17,470 freedom of thought and expression that's 233 00:09:22,350 --> 00:09:19,450 why so many repressive regimes are 234 00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:22,360 sex-negative jail sex workers and sex 235 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:24,310 minorities especially homosexuals and 236 00:09:29,010 --> 00:09:27,370 monitor sexual behavior it's also why if 237 00:09:31,290 --> 00:09:29,020 we want to change the world in a radical 238 00:09:33,540 --> 00:09:31,300 way it's important to look to sex for 239 00:09:35,550 --> 00:09:33,550 some answers and I just think that is 240 00:09:37,139 --> 00:09:35,560 very true but something I definitely 241 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:37,149 don't think about often can you maybe 242 00:09:42,180 --> 00:09:39,730 elaborate on those ideas and why sex is 243 00:09:45,389 --> 00:09:42,190 so important when it comes to the idea 244 00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:45,399 of control versus freedom yeah I mean I 245 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:47,529 think people have been people and 246 00:09:50,579 --> 00:09:48,970 institutions and power when trying to 247 00:09:53,390 --> 00:09:50,589 regulate and interfere with our sex 248 00:09:56,130 --> 00:09:53,400 lives for a really really long time and 249 00:09:59,040 --> 00:09:56,140 unfortunately the way that plays out in 250 00:10:01,140 --> 00:09:59,050 sort of conservatives current is the 251 00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:01,150 idea that somehow there's this kind of 252 00:10:05,970 --> 00:10:03,279 liberal progressive government that's 253 00:10:08,970 --> 00:10:05,980 trying to enforce a kind of libertine 254 00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:08,980 sexual agenda that's a roading on 255 00:10:13,380 --> 00:10:10,690 morality and all that kind of stuff but 256 00:10:16,590 --> 00:10:13,390 we have to realize that this war on sex 257 00:10:18,690 --> 00:10:16,600 has been put on basically everybody in a 258 00:10:22,019 --> 00:10:18,700 different way in different cultures in 259 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:22,029 different times and that nobody has 260 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:24,250 escaped it and so when we start talking 261 00:10:29,220 --> 00:10:27,250 about how power interact with us in our 262 00:10:32,069 --> 00:10:29,230 sexuality we need to just look at our 263 00:10:34,860 --> 00:10:32,079 own lives and see what kinds of 264 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:34,870 prejudices and brainwashing and all that 265 00:10:38,190 --> 00:10:36,490 kind of stuff has gone on it's not a 266 00:10:40,460 --> 00:10:38,200 particularly ender for specific 267 00:10:43,710 --> 00:10:40,470 sexuality it's a sort of generalized 268 00:10:46,620 --> 00:10:43,720 overall control tactic of people in 269 00:10:48,540 --> 00:10:46,630 power to regulate everybody sexuality at 270 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:48,550 all times and the kind of sex we have 271 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:50,290 the kinds of sexual imagery we're 272 00:10:54,870 --> 00:10:53,410 allowed to view if any the kinds of 273 00:10:57,030 --> 00:10:54,880 things we're allowed to talk about all 274 00:11:00,750 --> 00:10:57,040 that sort of stuff so everybody 275 00:11:02,820 --> 00:11:00,760 everybody target basically I would say 276 00:11:05,610 --> 00:11:02,830 yeah I don't disagree with you man and 277 00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:05,620 it does seem like freedom's spill out 278 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:07,690 into other areas once your mindset 279 00:11:12,780 --> 00:11:10,330 changes and so you have to attack it all 280 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:12,790 it has to be full spectrum dominance I 281 00:11:18,060 --> 00:11:15,610 mean we talk a lot about the 60s and the 282 00:11:21,060 --> 00:11:18,070 psychedelic movement on this show but 283 00:11:24,030 --> 00:11:21,070 sexual freedom was just as big a part of 284 00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:24,040 the 60s and I guess when liberation does 285 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:25,510 come in one area it spills out into 286 00:11:28,500 --> 00:11:27,010 others which would be why it's all 287 00:11:29,940 --> 00:11:28,510 off-limits from the perspective of a 288 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:29,950 ruling authority you can do a lot to 289 00:11:33,990 --> 00:11:32,050 keep marijuana mushrooms and 290 00:11:35,430 --> 00:11:34,000 dimethyltryptamine away from people but 291 00:11:37,740 --> 00:11:35,440 you can't really take away their sex 292 00:11:39,810 --> 00:11:37,750 organs you can just shame them cover up 293 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:39,820 the women and outlaw anything but the 294 00:11:44,550 --> 00:11:41,290 vanilla stuff I guess but it is 295 00:11:46,830 --> 00:11:44,560 important to examine yeah and so the way 296 00:11:48,570 --> 00:11:46,840 I put it is if you ever want to know how 297 00:11:50,580 --> 00:11:48,580 somebody feels about freedoms start 298 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:50,590 talking about sex that's like one of my 299 00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:53,410 sort of big off repeated lines when I 300 00:11:57,690 --> 00:11:55,570 get done and stuff because basically 301 00:11:59,700 --> 00:11:57,700 sexual freedom is individual freedom 302 00:12:01,560 --> 00:11:59,710 everybody has a different sexuality we 303 00:12:03,660 --> 00:12:01,570 talk as if there's like well there's gay 304 00:12:05,850 --> 00:12:03,670 people and there's straight people and 305 00:12:08,220 --> 00:12:05,860 maybe if bisexual people is this that's 306 00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:08,230 there too but actually in fact all our 307 00:12:13,500 --> 00:12:10,570 sexualities are completely unique to us 308 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:13,510 everybody has a sort of different nexus 309 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:16,810 of things and complexes also of things 310 00:12:21,870 --> 00:12:19,330 that we errata sighs things that recall 311 00:12:24,030 --> 00:12:21,880 such things that do both the ratifies in 312 00:12:26,070 --> 00:12:24,040 the culture that draw us in are our 313 00:12:27,060 --> 00:12:26,080 whole desire complex is different from 314 00:12:29,490 --> 00:12:27,070 person to person 315 00:12:31,350 --> 00:12:29,500 and so when you start talking and and 316 00:12:33,090 --> 00:12:31,360 beyond that it's also not really 317 00:12:35,250 --> 00:12:33,100 understandable by other people let me 318 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:35,260 explain what I mean by that in really 319 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:37,930 mundane terms if you if you've ever been 320 00:12:42,420 --> 00:12:40,090 walking down the street with someone a 321 00:12:44,910 --> 00:12:42,430 friend and they point out some woman 322 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:44,920 that they think is hot you know and she 323 00:12:49,170 --> 00:12:46,810 like look at her and you're like her are 324 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:49,180 you kidding me like you should grow you 325 00:12:51,870 --> 00:12:50,530 know your friends like no that's the 326 00:12:55,560 --> 00:12:51,880 hottest person in the world when you 327 00:12:57,030 --> 00:12:55,570 talk right our desires are actually not 328 00:12:58,740 --> 00:12:57,040 even really understandable or 329 00:13:01,980 --> 00:12:58,750 translatable to each other it's very 330 00:13:04,410 --> 00:13:01,990 difficult to sort of merge into someone 331 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:04,420 else's sexuality or sort of erotic light 332 00:13:08,490 --> 00:13:06,490 it's the same thing with sexual apps I 333 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:08,500 mean people like all kinds of different 334 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:11,770 things you know and so you can see on an 335 00:13:14,519 --> 00:13:13,810 individual case-by-case basis people 336 00:13:16,619 --> 00:13:14,529 have very 337 00:13:17,759 --> 00:13:16,629 very different and very unique and so if 338 00:13:20,790 --> 00:13:17,769 you want to talk about individual 339 00:13:22,650 --> 00:13:20,800 freedom and what kinds of on compassion 340 00:13:24,239 --> 00:13:22,660 and freedom we should offer up to others 341 00:13:26,550 --> 00:13:24,249 as well as ourselves the sex is a really 342 00:13:28,650 --> 00:13:26,560 good place to start because it is I 343 00:13:31,769 --> 00:13:28,660 believe the most individual thing about 344 00:13:33,540 --> 00:13:31,779 us I think that that's that sort of one 345 00:13:37,470 --> 00:13:33,550 individual in some way because if 346 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:37,480 everybody starts sort of self actualized 347 00:13:41,759 --> 00:13:39,730 and are realizing their sexualities and 348 00:13:44,129 --> 00:13:41,769 we start permitting that in other people 349 00:13:48,090 --> 00:13:44,139 then we have a bunch of people who are 350 00:13:50,189 --> 00:13:48,100 individuals accepting and responding to 351 00:13:52,139 --> 00:13:50,199 individual consciousness walking around 352 00:13:52,650 --> 00:13:52,149 and that's a big problem for people in 353 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:52,660 power 354 00:13:59,189 --> 00:13:56,050 yeah well said and I think there's also 355 00:14:01,559 --> 00:13:59,199 a perception that a lot of these modern 356 00:14:03,239 --> 00:14:01,569 sex laws that we still have on the books 357 00:14:05,879 --> 00:14:03,249 are just silliness they'll say sure 358 00:14:07,410 --> 00:14:05,889 sodomy is illegal but it's just one of 359 00:14:09,989 --> 00:14:07,420 those archaic things nobody pays 360 00:14:12,269 --> 00:14:09,999 attention to and not to get too heavy 361 00:14:13,889 --> 00:14:12,279 but that is just not true because I only 362 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:13,899 learned recently that my mom grew up 363 00:14:17,970 --> 00:14:15,490 with a brother that I never knew about 364 00:14:20,009 --> 00:14:17,980 who was gay and actually had a cop 365 00:14:22,619 --> 00:14:20,019 invite him out on a fishing trip only to 366 00:14:24,090 --> 00:14:22,629 entrap him charged him with sodomy then 367 00:14:25,910 --> 00:14:24,100 he was sent to a mental institution 368 00:14:28,860 --> 00:14:25,920 where he was given electroshock therapy 369 00:14:31,769 --> 00:14:28,870 until he was driven to suicide and I 370 00:14:34,290 --> 00:14:31,779 never knew these things about this guy 371 00:14:35,639 --> 00:14:34,300 in my family and you know I'm not super 372 00:14:38,249 --> 00:14:35,649 connected to it but when I think about 373 00:14:40,740 --> 00:14:38,259 the pain that that caused my mom and her 374 00:14:42,869 --> 00:14:40,750 life it makes me want to rage man and 375 00:14:46,350 --> 00:14:42,879 these dumb laws around sexuality 376 00:14:47,730 --> 00:14:46,360 actually ruin lives a lot easier than we 377 00:14:48,900 --> 00:14:47,740 might think at first because none of 378 00:14:50,369 --> 00:14:48,910 that would have been possible if it 379 00:14:55,439 --> 00:14:50,379 weren't for that initial law on the 380 00:14:57,269 --> 00:14:55,449 books that made sodomy illegal okay so I 381 00:14:59,669 --> 00:14:57,279 think that that story that you just told 382 00:15:01,230 --> 00:14:59,679 is a really tragic instance of these 383 00:15:02,790 --> 00:15:01,240 kinds of things intersecting with your 384 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:02,800 life and your experience and people you 385 00:15:07,679 --> 00:15:05,170 know in fact there are so many different 386 00:15:11,220 --> 00:15:07,689 variations of this kind of [\h__\h] where um 387 00:15:13,799 --> 00:15:11,230 the sex laws sex legislation is used 388 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:13,809 against people in one way or another but 389 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:15,370 it's not just a loss it's also the 390 00:15:20,910 --> 00:15:18,730 cultural pressures so for instance you 391 00:15:23,369 --> 00:15:20,920 know you talked a lot about conspiracies 392 00:15:25,230 --> 00:15:23,379 sexual scandals sexual things that are 393 00:15:27,250 --> 00:15:25,240 sort of under the surface on your show 394 00:15:28,900 --> 00:15:27,260 and imagine if 395 00:15:31,150 --> 00:15:28,910 those things were happening in a culture 396 00:15:33,790 --> 00:15:31,160 that was much more open and able to 397 00:15:36,970 --> 00:15:33,800 engage and discuss sex what kind of 398 00:15:39,460 --> 00:15:36,980 power we have to unearth and discuss 399 00:15:43,060 --> 00:15:39,470 those kinds of scandals and really like 400 00:15:44,860 --> 00:15:43,070 take people to power to task because it 401 00:15:47,290 --> 00:15:44,870 was already in the air that we're having 402 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:47,300 healthy sexual discussions and allowing 403 00:15:50,770 --> 00:15:48,770 people more sexual freedom sexual 404 00:15:52,570 --> 00:15:50,780 understanding sexual education right now 405 00:15:54,820 --> 00:15:52,580 it's like it's difficult to even talk 406 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:54,830 about those kinds of sex scandals 407 00:15:59,590 --> 00:15:57,170 because you're not even really talking 408 00:16:01,780 --> 00:15:59,600 about sex that much you know so that's 409 00:16:04,450 --> 00:16:01,790 that's one version and we can come back 410 00:16:05,890 --> 00:16:04,460 to that crime sure that's of interest to 411 00:16:07,780 --> 00:16:05,900 the people that are listening to the 412 00:16:10,660 --> 00:16:07,790 show but also think about the ways in 413 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:10,670 which you know sexual imagery is really 414 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:13,370 regulated in the sense of you know there 415 00:16:17,770 --> 00:16:15,530 are so many laws and regulations around 416 00:16:19,780 --> 00:16:17,780 what kind of sexual imagery you can see 417 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:19,790 how we access pornography pornography 418 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:22,130 can only be stoned legally technically 419 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:24,170 in two states in the entire country and 420 00:16:29,260 --> 00:16:26,690 yet advertisement is a complete 421 00:16:30,820 --> 00:16:29,270 eroticization you know constantly are 422 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:30,830 like look these two people are about to 423 00:16:36,730 --> 00:16:33,170 have sex now by this computer you know 424 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:36,740 it's like it's because sex is repressed 425 00:16:40,270 --> 00:16:38,690 the people who are making advertisements 426 00:16:43,030 --> 00:16:40,280 trying to sell a [\h__\h] trying to turn us 427 00:16:45,250 --> 00:16:43,040 into sort of obedient consumers they get 428 00:16:47,260 --> 00:16:45,260 to utilize arousing us and then 429 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:47,270 frustrating our arousal by directing it 430 00:16:51,460 --> 00:16:48,890 into buying a product so that's another 431 00:16:54,070 --> 00:16:51,470 way in which sex and sexual repression 432 00:16:56,380 --> 00:16:54,080 is leveraged to get people money to get 433 00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:56,390 people in power to to basically have 434 00:17:00,100 --> 00:16:58,010 more money and power over us and to 435 00:17:02,470 --> 00:17:00,110 continue the sort of spell and cycle of 436 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:02,480 repression so I think that there's all 437 00:17:06,189 --> 00:17:04,490 that kind of then there's even crazier 438 00:17:07,120 --> 00:17:06,199 stuff when we talk about the laws what 439 00:17:10,870 --> 00:17:07,130 you were talking about with your friends 440 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:10,880 so I am friends with lots of people who 441 00:17:14,470 --> 00:17:13,010 do technological work who are sex 442 00:17:18,010 --> 00:17:14,480 therapists that kind of stuff so I hear 443 00:17:19,449 --> 00:17:18,020 stories obviously anonymously about you 444 00:17:21,660 --> 00:17:19,459 know people that they've worked with but 445 00:17:25,329 --> 00:17:21,670 I know for instance a story of a guy who 446 00:17:27,130 --> 00:17:25,339 was driving and pulled his car over to 447 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:27,140 an empty parking lot to jerk off in his 448 00:17:32,380 --> 00:17:30,410 car pretty innocuous thing right I mean 449 00:17:32,650 --> 00:17:32,390 he pulled into an empty lot nobody was 450 00:17:35,170 --> 00:17:32,660 there 451 00:17:36,850 --> 00:17:35,180 and he's trying to be responsible if 452 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:36,860 he's not jerking off the driving at the 453 00:17:42,150 --> 00:17:39,610 same time which is dangerous right right 454 00:17:43,770 --> 00:17:42,160 some some woman in a building that was 455 00:17:47,550 --> 00:17:43,780 all the way on the other side the lot 456 00:17:49,820 --> 00:17:47,560 who is in a window a few floors up look 457 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:49,830 down and talk him jerking off in the car 458 00:17:55,590 --> 00:17:53,650 called the police he was arrested and is 459 00:17:58,380 --> 00:17:55,600 now branded as a sex offender for the 460 00:18:00,150 --> 00:17:58,390 rest of his life for what for doing 461 00:18:02,790 --> 00:18:00,160 basically nothing I mean these kinds of 462 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:02,800 laws are sort of they're crazy and they 463 00:18:06,330 --> 00:18:05,050 happen and they take place because we 464 00:18:08,010 --> 00:18:06,340 don't have the kinds of sexual 465 00:18:10,140 --> 00:18:08,020 discussion that we need and so we allow 466 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:10,150 these kinds of laws or the kinds of 467 00:18:14,190 --> 00:18:11,890 methods of control I was talking about 468 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:14,200 or the kinds of scandals I was talking 469 00:18:19,650 --> 00:18:16,570 about to take place because the open 470 00:18:21,390 --> 00:18:19,660 discussion and sort of understanding of 471 00:18:24,750 --> 00:18:21,400 individual freedoms is not taking place 472 00:18:26,820 --> 00:18:24,760 right I do think sex offender status for 473 00:18:28,470 --> 00:18:26,830 life is a little extreme but broadly 474 00:18:31,140 --> 00:18:28,480 speaking we're talking about openness 475 00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:31,150 and freedom among adults who are willing 476 00:18:35,550 --> 00:18:33,130 participants I don't know about that 477 00:18:38,220 --> 00:18:35,560 example but yeah this is a thorny issue 478 00:18:40,410 --> 00:18:38,230 I don't want to see people and posed 479 00:18:42,210 --> 00:18:40,420 upon by things like urinating and 480 00:18:44,580 --> 00:18:42,220 jacking off in public but at the same 481 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:44,590 time it's not so bad to be a little 482 00:18:48,390 --> 00:18:46,330 uncomfortable and we shouldn't let it be 483 00:18:50,580 --> 00:18:48,400 a justification for the system hoovering 484 00:18:52,980 --> 00:18:50,590 out more people whose whole life 485 00:18:54,360 --> 00:18:52,990 trajectory will be affected and the 486 00:18:56,790 --> 00:18:54,370 system is going to be as strict as we 487 00:18:58,950 --> 00:18:56,800 let it be and something like the sex 488 00:19:01,400 --> 00:18:58,960 offender registry has such weight to it 489 00:19:04,290 --> 00:19:01,410 we really should reserve its usage for 490 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:04,300 predatory behavior only and maybe 491 00:19:09,150 --> 00:19:06,850 separate out cases of poor judgment from 492 00:19:10,950 --> 00:19:09,160 that of course another backwards problem 493 00:19:13,530 --> 00:19:10,960 in this area is young kids texting each 494 00:19:16,380 --> 00:19:13,540 other naked pictures something done 495 00:19:18,630 --> 00:19:16,390 usually out of childhood curiosity and a 496 00:19:21,110 --> 00:19:18,640 system with laws meant to protect kids 497 00:19:23,580 --> 00:19:21,120 and they're actually facing charges for 498 00:19:26,070 --> 00:19:23,590 possessing child pornography apparently 499 00:19:28,470 --> 00:19:26,080 and we have to restore a little context 500 00:19:30,420 --> 00:19:28,480 to what a real crime is so the laws need 501 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:30,430 to catch up and we also need to reserve 502 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:32,890 better judgment in applying such harsh 503 00:19:37,470 --> 00:19:35,650 punishments but to some people out there 504 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:37,480 it might sound like some of this gets a 505 00:19:42,450 --> 00:19:40,210 little close to defending sex criminals 506 00:19:45,930 --> 00:19:42,460 and I hope the distinction is pretty 507 00:19:47,430 --> 00:19:45,940 clear well yeah I mean first I want to 508 00:19:50,190 --> 00:19:47,440 point out that those laws are talking 509 00:19:52,170 --> 00:19:50,200 about where kids who send each other 510 00:19:53,289 --> 00:19:52,180 pictures of themselves and have sexual 511 00:19:55,090 --> 00:19:53,299 interaction with 512 00:19:56,859 --> 00:19:55,100 kids because that's what you do when 513 00:19:59,830 --> 00:19:56,869 you're in high school obviously you're 514 00:20:01,359 --> 00:19:59,840 going through intense hormonal change so 515 00:20:02,830 --> 00:20:01,369 you're horny all the time and you're 516 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:02,840 interacting with other people your age 517 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:04,970 and yet now that can be a sex offense 518 00:20:10,810 --> 00:20:08,570 and there are laws replacing those old 519 00:20:12,970 --> 00:20:10,820 archaic laws so even if we have like 520 00:20:14,619 --> 00:20:12,980 hoho the sodomy laws not affecting that 521 00:20:17,430 --> 00:20:14,629 many people and it is affecting some 522 00:20:20,019 --> 00:20:17,440 people as you pointed out there are new 523 00:20:22,690 --> 00:20:20,029 newly Oh archaic I will call them laws 524 00:20:24,850 --> 00:20:22,700 that are taking place taking the place 525 00:20:26,649 --> 00:20:24,860 of those old archaic laws right so 526 00:20:28,779 --> 00:20:26,659 that's that's the first thing to know so 527 00:20:30,789 --> 00:20:28,789 we shouldn't laugh at those archaic ones 528 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:30,799 because they're just being sort of 529 00:20:35,289 --> 00:20:32,450 replaced by these other kinds of things 530 00:20:37,180 --> 00:20:35,299 that are very similar um when you talk 531 00:20:39,039 --> 00:20:37,190 about people mean like oh we don't you 532 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:39,049 know we don't want to talk about this 533 00:20:43,539 --> 00:20:41,450 because it sounds like we're sort of 534 00:20:47,109 --> 00:20:43,549 permitting abuse or whatever first I 535 00:20:49,479 --> 00:20:47,119 want to say why do I mind go there right 536 00:20:51,580 --> 00:20:49,489 away why should I talk about sexual 537 00:20:53,859 --> 00:20:51,590 freedom suddenly people start thinking 538 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:53,869 about oh yes but what about people who 539 00:20:58,950 --> 00:20:56,570 aren't consenting like like what why did 540 00:21:01,029 --> 00:20:58,960 we jump from what I was talking about to 541 00:21:02,889 --> 00:21:01,039 non-consensual sexual assault 542 00:21:06,249 --> 00:21:02,899 immediately there should be a no-brainer 543 00:21:07,930 --> 00:21:06,259 right exactly which we shouldn't be 544 00:21:09,489 --> 00:21:07,940 jumped we shouldn't be making that leap 545 00:21:12,759 --> 00:21:09,499 immediately in our hands and the fact 546 00:21:15,369 --> 00:21:12,769 that we do indicate an inner problem the 547 00:21:19,029 --> 00:21:15,379 second thing is you know all that stuff 548 00:21:21,639 --> 00:21:19,039 about non-consensual text I think it's 549 00:21:24,549 --> 00:21:21,649 of course is really important for us to 550 00:21:27,519 --> 00:21:24,559 explore and discuss and understand all 551 00:21:30,639 --> 00:21:27,529 that comes up what's more likely are we 552 00:21:33,159 --> 00:21:30,649 going to are we going to have better 553 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:33,169 discussions and understandings of what 554 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:35,570 constitutes sexual assault how to treat 555 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:38,450 victims of sexual assault and also how 556 00:21:43,090 --> 00:21:41,570 to deal with the offenders rehabilitate 557 00:21:44,950 --> 00:21:43,100 the ones that can be rehabilitated and 558 00:21:48,700 --> 00:21:44,960 not try to rehabilitate the ones it can 559 00:21:51,970 --> 00:21:48,710 in a culture where we understand and 560 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:51,980 discuss sex openly or are we going to do 561 00:21:54,639 --> 00:21:53,210 that well in a culture that it 562 00:21:58,180 --> 00:21:54,649 completely sexually repressed 563 00:22:00,159 --> 00:21:58,190 I think we have a better chance of doing 564 00:22:02,230 --> 00:22:00,169 all the right things if we start having 565 00:22:05,019 --> 00:22:02,240 better understanding discussions about 566 00:22:06,100 --> 00:22:05,029 sex that's why I get sort of a gristle a 567 00:22:07,750 --> 00:22:06,110 little bit one too 568 00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:07,760 we'll talk about things like satanic 569 00:22:13,210 --> 00:22:10,130 ritual abuse when they talk about stuff 570 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:13,220 like pizza gate which before you drag me 571 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:15,770 down into that pizza parlor I don't know 572 00:22:20,289 --> 00:22:18,290 all the specifics about I don't 573 00:22:22,390 --> 00:22:20,299 obviously end of the general story but 574 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:22,400 when people talk about that kind of 575 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:25,970 stuff it's like okay I'm totally down 576 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:28,250 for talking about all that but we also 577 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:31,970 need to have a safe sound grounding of 578 00:22:35,370 --> 00:22:34,010 our understanding of sex before we start 579 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:35,380 talking about that kind of stuff 580 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:37,730 otherwise we're going to be importing 581 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:39,650 all kinds of prejudices that aren't 582 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:41,210 worthwhile in bringing to that 583 00:22:47,770 --> 00:22:44,330 discussion and that won't help us heal 584 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:47,780 victims won't help us apprehend the 585 00:22:51,430 --> 00:22:49,610 perpetrators won't help us deal with 586 00:22:54,070 --> 00:22:51,440 what perpetrators once we get a hold of 587 00:22:56,970 --> 00:22:54,080 them and certainly won't have cultural 588 00:22:59,409 --> 00:22:56,980 grounding to deal with people right like 589 00:23:02,830 --> 00:22:59,419 you know I talked about this on a show 590 00:23:06,340 --> 00:23:02,840 before when America I think but it's 591 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:06,350 like if Peter gave style allegations 592 00:23:11,820 --> 00:23:10,010 come out understand you know adlet and 593 00:23:13,570 --> 00:23:11,830 they come out as proved or true 594 00:23:15,549 --> 00:23:13,580 understand that the people and 595 00:23:18,220 --> 00:23:15,559 institutions and power are immediately 596 00:23:21,100 --> 00:23:18,230 going to use that to regulate and 597 00:23:22,930 --> 00:23:21,110 control our sex lives it's not going to 598 00:23:24,820 --> 00:23:22,940 be it look like it's not going to be 599 00:23:26,980 --> 00:23:24,830 some great revelation when we blow the 600 00:23:29,020 --> 00:23:26,990 whole thing apart and suddenly the whole 601 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:29,030 system collapses what's going to happen 602 00:23:32,500 --> 00:23:30,290 is that the people who already have the 603 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:32,510 power are going to use that to regulate 604 00:23:38,830 --> 00:23:36,410 our lives more our sexuality our access 605 00:23:40,390 --> 00:23:38,840 to pleasure and freedom more so it's 606 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:40,400 really fun to keep that in mind 607 00:23:44,710 --> 00:23:42,650 while they just continue to do whatever 608 00:23:48,789 --> 00:23:44,720 abuses they may have been doing already 609 00:23:50,620 --> 00:23:48,799 total yeah they're above the law so you 610 00:23:53,169 --> 00:23:50,630 know you're talking about society having 611 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:53,179 a better cultural understanding a more 612 00:23:58,330 --> 00:23:56,090 nuanced understanding of sexuality what 613 00:23:59,770 --> 00:23:58,340 do you think that looks like a better 614 00:24:02,770 --> 00:23:59,780 understanding and how do you think it 615 00:24:03,909 --> 00:24:02,780 would actually change society for the 616 00:24:06,190 --> 00:24:03,919 better because a lot of people probably 617 00:24:09,070 --> 00:24:06,200 have their ideas on what a completely 618 00:24:11,470 --> 00:24:09,080 free and open sex society would look 619 00:24:13,049 --> 00:24:11,480 like maybe you can calm them down a 620 00:24:16,060 --> 00:24:13,059 little bit what does it look like to you 621 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:16,070 yeah I mean I think one of the first 622 00:24:23,030 --> 00:24:19,890 things is just you know not being there 623 00:24:25,850 --> 00:24:23,040 five of your own uncomfortability with 624 00:24:28,460 --> 00:24:25,860 certain sexual situation I think this is 625 00:24:31,490 --> 00:24:28,470 actually a general rule not just with 626 00:24:34,730 --> 00:24:31,500 sex in the culture we live in now what 627 00:24:36,620 --> 00:24:34,740 we live in now is to be able to hold and 628 00:24:38,210 --> 00:24:36,630 understand uncomfortability so that 629 00:24:40,940 --> 00:24:38,220 could be uncomfortability related to 630 00:24:42,620 --> 00:24:40,950 other people's sexuality where it 631 00:24:44,810 --> 00:24:42,630 doesn't immediately turn into 632 00:24:46,850 --> 00:24:44,820 demonization you just say okay I'm 633 00:24:47,780 --> 00:24:46,860 uncomfortable hand out it you know I 634 00:24:49,910 --> 00:24:47,790 don't have to act on that 635 00:24:51,740 --> 00:24:49,920 uncomfortability and obviously I'm not 636 00:24:53,330 --> 00:24:51,750 talking about a burning building 637 00:24:54,770 --> 00:24:53,340 situation if you see someone being 638 00:24:57,290 --> 00:24:54,780 assaulted or you know that that's 639 00:24:59,660 --> 00:24:57,300 happening like of course step in but 640 00:25:00,710 --> 00:24:59,670 again let's not go there right away I'm 641 00:25:02,900 --> 00:25:00,720 just talking about the things that 642 00:25:04,310 --> 00:25:02,910 repulse you that gross you out that like 643 00:25:06,260 --> 00:25:04,320 freak you out a little bit that might 644 00:25:08,930 --> 00:25:06,270 make you feel uncomfortable and it could 645 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:08,940 be from the friend saying oh that 646 00:25:13,070 --> 00:25:10,410 woman's hot and you think she's ugly 647 00:25:14,930 --> 00:25:13,080 hold back you don't have to say you can 648 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:14,940 have what I call good desire etiquette 649 00:25:18,290 --> 00:25:16,890 you don't have to be like gross you can 650 00:25:21,710 --> 00:25:18,300 say something like what do you find 651 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:21,720 attractive about her right so open up a 652 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:24,210 conversation with shutting it down do 653 00:25:28,010 --> 00:25:26,250 that with yourself as well when you have 654 00:25:30,650 --> 00:25:28,020 a thought like oh people like to be 655 00:25:32,540 --> 00:25:30,660 pissed on during sex or whatever instead 656 00:25:34,430 --> 00:25:32,550 of thinking that's gross ask yourself 657 00:25:36,110 --> 00:25:34,440 why do I find that repulsive do I really 658 00:25:38,750 --> 00:25:36,120 find that repulsive what would happen if 659 00:25:40,460 --> 00:25:38,760 I watch someone do that online or you 660 00:25:42,620 --> 00:25:40,470 know I just like create a safe space for 661 00:25:45,020 --> 00:25:42,630 yourself to encounter your own 662 00:25:48,140 --> 00:25:45,030 comfortability because there's so many 663 00:25:49,850 --> 00:25:48,150 there's so much talk of that boundaries 664 00:25:51,620 --> 00:25:49,860 right now when it comes to sex which is 665 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:51,630 fine I think that that's really good and 666 00:25:55,100 --> 00:25:53,010 nobody has a right to violate your 667 00:25:57,530 --> 00:25:55,110 boundaries but we also have a duty to 668 00:26:00,110 --> 00:25:57,540 investigate our own and to begin to sort 669 00:26:03,230 --> 00:26:00,120 of loosen our boundaries up a little bit 670 00:26:05,150 --> 00:26:03,240 so we're not constantly like we're not 671 00:26:07,250 --> 00:26:05,160 like the operation board game where if 672 00:26:09,110 --> 00:26:07,260 anybody touches the wrong part we like 673 00:26:11,450 --> 00:26:09,120 lie it up and make a horrible sound you 674 00:26:13,430 --> 00:26:11,460 know it's like we've gotten we've got to 675 00:26:16,790 --> 00:26:13,440 investigate our own presences so I think 676 00:26:19,190 --> 00:26:16,800 that that's a step that's very safe and 677 00:26:21,050 --> 00:26:19,200 easy for us to pay just doing some inner 678 00:26:23,510 --> 00:26:21,060 work when it comes to this kind of stuff 679 00:26:26,810 --> 00:26:23,520 because we really think as a culture 680 00:26:28,580 --> 00:26:26,820 that sex is just all about chemistry and 681 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:28,590 everything just sort of flowing and 682 00:26:32,690 --> 00:26:30,810 being perfect and that's that's some 683 00:26:33,770 --> 00:26:32,700 [\h__\h] that people have sold us you know 684 00:26:36,050 --> 00:26:33,780 that's a marketing 685 00:26:38,810 --> 00:26:36,060 plans that's not what sex usually it is 686 00:26:40,700 --> 00:26:38,820 usually it's like Oh like does this glow 687 00:26:42,590 --> 00:26:40,710 job make me look fat like what do I have 688 00:26:44,210 --> 00:26:42,600 to do tomorrow like we're doing it and 689 00:26:46,300 --> 00:26:44,220 all these like years thoughts are going 690 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:46,310 through our head you know and and 691 00:26:51,950 --> 00:26:49,050 encounter encounter this sort of non 692 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:51,960 immersive thought experiences that's as 693 00:26:58,820 --> 00:26:54,810 well huh interesting man 694 00:27:00,140 --> 00:26:58,830 so have you examined this the sexual 695 00:27:02,570 --> 00:27:00,150 policing much throughout history 696 00:27:04,970 --> 00:27:02,580 obviously today we have a softer and 697 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:04,980 kind of more assumed oppression of 698 00:27:08,990 --> 00:27:06,570 sexuality whereas in previous centuries 699 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:09,000 it was much more obvious and aggressive 700 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:12,690 right in some ways yes and in some ways 701 00:27:16,010 --> 00:27:14,610 no I mean there's some times I look 702 00:27:19,340 --> 00:27:16,020 around them like wow things are really 703 00:27:21,050 --> 00:27:19,350 like worse than they've been now I'm not 704 00:27:22,970 --> 00:27:21,060 talking about yeah I mean sure I'm not 705 00:27:24,890 --> 00:27:22,980 talking about like the Inquisition like 706 00:27:26,780 --> 00:27:24,900 it's not it's not worse than that sense 707 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:26,790 but I think that there's a whole lot of 708 00:27:31,730 --> 00:27:29,610 them that there's a whole lot of push 709 00:27:33,620 --> 00:27:31,740 and pull between what people feel they 710 00:27:35,750 --> 00:27:33,630 can say what people feel they can talk 711 00:27:37,730 --> 00:27:35,760 about what people feel they can do I 712 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:37,740 mean have you if you've read a code of 713 00:27:42,650 --> 00:27:40,290 conduct manual on a college campus like 714 00:27:45,470 --> 00:27:42,660 that [\h__\h] is crazy when it comes to 715 00:27:47,360 --> 00:27:45,480 sexual encounters it's like you need to 716 00:27:49,910 --> 00:27:47,370 say you know can I touch your thigh 717 00:27:51,890 --> 00:27:49,920 yes can I touch your hair yeah can I 718 00:27:53,900 --> 00:27:51,900 touch ten any violation of that is 719 00:27:56,180 --> 00:27:53,910 considered sexual assault because the 720 00:27:58,400 --> 00:27:56,190 people again in power who have the money 721 00:28:01,280 --> 00:27:58,410 are trying to cover their butt so 722 00:28:03,110 --> 00:28:01,290 they're not sued and so you know when I 723 00:28:04,940 --> 00:28:03,120 talk about that when I go to colleges 724 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:04,950 and talk about consent I'm like did you 725 00:28:09,170 --> 00:28:07,410 guys consent to having a threesome with 726 00:28:12,410 --> 00:28:09,180 the author of the code of conduct manual 727 00:28:14,570 --> 00:28:12,420 for for your school because that person 728 00:28:16,910 --> 00:28:14,580 is present every time you have that you 729 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:16,920 know so in some ways I feel like there's 730 00:28:20,210 --> 00:28:19,290 this weird thought invasion when it 731 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:20,220 comes to sex 732 00:28:25,190 --> 00:28:22,890 that is really pervasive I mean at least 733 00:28:27,290 --> 00:28:25,200 in different times it was like okay 734 00:28:29,810 --> 00:28:27,300 you're going like you're going to hell 735 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:29,820 you know it's pretty like sort of black 736 00:28:35,090 --> 00:28:32,010 blanketed in some sort of metaphysics 737 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:35,100 now it's this whole weird elaborate 738 00:28:41,900 --> 00:28:37,890 complex thing about what you can and 739 00:28:44,780 --> 00:28:41,910 cannot do that really worries me so and 740 00:28:46,610 --> 00:28:44,790 and and it's important to note like the 741 00:28:47,530 --> 00:28:46,620 moment for sexual freedom is always 742 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:47,540 precarious 743 00:28:52,510 --> 00:28:50,330 like there's not a moment where we rest 744 00:28:54,610 --> 00:28:52,520 and everything's fine I don't think 745 00:28:56,410 --> 00:28:54,620 that's ever happened I think that it's 746 00:28:58,750 --> 00:28:56,420 just sort of the depression just has 747 00:29:01,750 --> 00:28:58,760 been shoved around in two different you 748 00:29:03,580 --> 00:29:01,760 know spot yeah I don't disagree with 749 00:29:06,730 --> 00:29:03,590 that and let's talk a little bit about 750 00:29:08,860 --> 00:29:06,740 how the occult and sexuality relate 751 00:29:10,570 --> 00:29:08,870 obviously we have the parallel stories 752 00:29:12,220 --> 00:29:10,580 of oppression throughout history but 753 00:29:14,980 --> 00:29:12,230 there's something deeper to this 754 00:29:16,870 --> 00:29:14,990 relationship to wouldn't you say yeah I 755 00:29:18,730 --> 00:29:16,880 mean what do you have in mind when you 756 00:29:21,220 --> 00:29:18,740 say that are you talking about some of 757 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:21,230 the satanic abuse stuff are you talking 758 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:23,570 about more of the positive side of it or 759 00:29:27,310 --> 00:29:25,250 definitely more of the positive side 760 00:29:30,070 --> 00:29:27,320 because when I say like historically 761 00:29:32,590 --> 00:29:30,080 parallel stories of oppression I mean 762 00:29:35,050 --> 00:29:32,600 from the top to the people regarding 763 00:29:37,420 --> 00:29:35,060 both their sexuality and magical 764 00:29:39,550 --> 00:29:37,430 exploration but also we could probably 765 00:29:41,700 --> 00:29:39,560 talk about the symbolic aspects in that 766 00:29:44,610 --> 00:29:41,710 regard the union of opposite the 767 00:29:46,990 --> 00:29:44,620 transmutation of spiritual alchemy 768 00:29:48,700 --> 00:29:47,000 chakras there's a lot of people in the 769 00:29:51,730 --> 00:29:48,710 east of Taric philosophy camps you talk 770 00:29:53,650 --> 00:29:51,740 about some symbolic aspects or energetic 771 00:29:55,570 --> 00:29:53,660 aspects that can be kind of interesting 772 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:55,580 and there might be some symbolism there 773 00:29:59,440 --> 00:29:57,170 surrounding sex and magic worth 774 00:30:01,810 --> 00:29:59,450 exploring but as far as the negative 775 00:30:04,150 --> 00:30:01,820 stuff let's just table that we've done 776 00:30:05,530 --> 00:30:04,160 enough qualifying at this point and I 777 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:05,540 think we've seen enough smoke to know 778 00:30:08,980 --> 00:30:07,130 there's fire in the case of child abuse 779 00:30:10,930 --> 00:30:08,990 among the elite and nobody here is 780 00:30:12,610 --> 00:30:10,940 trying to justify that but I want to 781 00:30:15,940 --> 00:30:12,620 have a conversation more centered around 782 00:30:18,220 --> 00:30:15,950 the people and aspects that might mean 783 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:18,230 something to us personally moreso than 784 00:30:21,490 --> 00:30:19,370 what's going on behind the curtain 785 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:21,500 that's been talked about plenty let's 786 00:30:25,300 --> 00:30:23,330 talk about things that people can either 787 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:25,310 use in their life or at least reflect 788 00:30:29,770 --> 00:30:27,650 upon and in particular people who might 789 00:30:34,780 --> 00:30:29,780 have a cult interests as well if that 790 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:34,790 sounds good yeah well so my my sort of 791 00:30:39,550 --> 00:30:36,890 understanding of the occult I always try 792 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:39,560 to bring it back to you like if you just 793 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:41,450 sort of pay attention to your experience 794 00:30:47,230 --> 00:30:43,730 you'll understand that things are a lot 795 00:30:49,180 --> 00:30:47,240 weirder than you thought and and if you 796 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:49,190 want to interpret the weirdness of your 797 00:30:53,530 --> 00:30:50,690 experience you need vehicle to do that 798 00:30:55,810 --> 00:30:53,540 so let's just break it down to something 799 00:30:58,290 --> 00:30:55,820 very simple that I'm sure a lot of your 800 00:31:00,180 --> 00:30:58,300 listeners has done which is masturbate 801 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:00,190 guilty and 802 00:31:03,690 --> 00:31:01,690 and I'll talk about the bridge the 803 00:31:05,700 --> 00:31:03,700 bridge here so I'm going to talk about 804 00:31:09,210 --> 00:31:05,710 male masturbation because it's the kind 805 00:31:11,250 --> 00:31:09,220 I'm the most acquainted with and I've 806 00:31:13,050 --> 00:31:11,260 you know maybe you acquainted yourself 807 00:31:16,230 --> 00:31:13,060 with this a few times today dear 808 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:16,240 listener but but basically think about 809 00:31:21,630 --> 00:31:19,690 how weird it is that when you masturbate 810 00:31:24,210 --> 00:31:21,640 you either watch pornography or you're 811 00:31:27,570 --> 00:31:24,220 imagining pornographic scenes right so 812 00:31:30,500 --> 00:31:27,580 you're creating pornography and you're 813 00:31:33,510 --> 00:31:30,510 merging your imaginative world or 814 00:31:36,390 --> 00:31:33,520 symbolic artistic imagery you're 815 00:31:39,570 --> 00:31:36,400 bringing those into contact with a very 816 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:39,580 simple repetitive motion and after about 817 00:31:44,460 --> 00:31:42,850 five to ten minutes half the substance 818 00:31:47,550 --> 00:31:44,470 that creates life comes out of your body 819 00:31:51,210 --> 00:31:47,560 like that's completely bizarre that it 820 00:31:53,100 --> 00:31:51,220 is this sort of feeling of the imagined 821 00:31:55,490 --> 00:31:53,110 or symbolic realm and the physical realm 822 00:31:59,220 --> 00:31:55,500 in a very rudimentary way as this 823 00:32:01,830 --> 00:31:59,230 tremendous effect and lets you know not 824 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:01,840 just the procreative effect or 825 00:32:06,690 --> 00:32:03,370 potentially procreative effect but also 826 00:32:08,250 --> 00:32:06,700 just the way it feels in your body the 827 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:08,260 thing that happens you in that moment 828 00:32:15,030 --> 00:32:10,450 that's really crazy 829 00:32:17,010 --> 00:32:15,040 if you think about it it is so that's if 830 00:32:18,570 --> 00:32:17,020 you just start from there if you just 831 00:32:21,390 --> 00:32:18,580 start by looking at your everyday 832 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:21,400 experiences when you have sex what 833 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:25,810 exactly is going on why is it this 834 00:32:30,750 --> 00:32:28,570 bizarre you know why do we why do we 835 00:32:34,110 --> 00:32:30,760 talk during sex for example why does a 836 00:32:37,500 --> 00:32:34,120 sound that has that translates itself 837 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:37,510 into a meaning in our mind amplify the 838 00:32:41,730 --> 00:32:40,090 feeling we have in our bodies you notice 839 00:32:43,830 --> 00:32:41,740 that mind-body connection really 840 00:32:46,620 --> 00:32:43,840 intensely during the sexual act and that 841 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:46,630 definitely has been a cult aspect when I 842 00:32:51,270 --> 00:32:48,130 was a teenager I could just have a 843 00:32:52,860 --> 00:32:51,280 thought about a sexual thing or didn't 844 00:32:54,750 --> 00:32:52,870 even really have to be sexual like I 845 00:32:57,030 --> 00:32:54,760 could just be an algebra class and my 846 00:32:59,370 --> 00:32:57,040 body would respond like I would get a 847 00:33:02,580 --> 00:32:59,380 hard-on or whatever what is up with that 848 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:02,590 so you start noticing that bridge 849 00:33:09,750 --> 00:33:05,890 between the world in sexuality it's very 850 00:33:12,090 --> 00:33:09,760 odd is that so that's the first place I 851 00:33:12,509 --> 00:33:12,100 would go so we don't have to start 852 00:33:14,399 --> 00:33:12,519 talking 853 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:14,409 about metaphysics or anything like that 854 00:33:18,479 --> 00:33:16,570 we just talked about phenomenology or 855 00:33:21,299 --> 00:33:18,489 basically the experiences that everybody 856 00:33:24,029 --> 00:33:21,309 had no mm and this is a strange 857 00:33:26,789 --> 00:33:24,039 experience I mean the feeling of orgasm 858 00:33:30,449 --> 00:33:26,799 is really unlike anything it's the heart 859 00:33:32,609 --> 00:33:30,459 of most comedy routines and every movie 860 00:33:34,469 --> 00:33:32,619 has a love story and a lot of sex in it 861 00:33:36,539 --> 00:33:34,479 is just such a part of life and we 862 00:33:37,409 --> 00:33:36,549 really try to pretend that it isn't I 863 00:33:38,969 --> 00:33:37,419 guess you could say one of the 864 00:33:40,799 --> 00:33:38,979 connections between the occult and sex 865 00:33:43,099 --> 00:33:40,809 is it's both of things we keep hidden 866 00:33:46,229 --> 00:33:43,109 from our public persona 867 00:33:49,139 --> 00:33:46,239 totally not only is it like such a big 868 00:33:51,779 --> 00:33:49,149 part of life it is life itself I mean 869 00:33:53,759 --> 00:33:51,789 it's like you know sex is everybody's 870 00:33:55,619 --> 00:33:53,769 creation story so that's the call 871 00:33:58,259 --> 00:33:55,629 version it's like everybody has their 872 00:34:01,349 --> 00:33:58,269 own personal big bang you know as it 873 00:34:03,539 --> 00:34:01,359 were and so before you this did I mean 874 00:34:05,129 --> 00:34:03,549 just think think of like weird creation 875 00:34:06,869 --> 00:34:05,139 myths that you've ever read them they 876 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:06,879 basically sound like people having sex 877 00:34:12,829 --> 00:34:09,970 like okay before time existed and space 878 00:34:15,510 --> 00:34:12,839 existed two giant beans came together 879 00:34:17,430 --> 00:34:15,520 entangled their bodies and suddenly a 880 00:34:21,059 --> 00:34:17,440 world was one and that world was you 881 00:34:23,879 --> 00:34:21,069 like that's really strange if you think 882 00:34:26,369 --> 00:34:23,889 about it so it's just sort of breaking 883 00:34:29,279 --> 00:34:26,379 these things down and also and and note 884 00:34:31,260 --> 00:34:29,289 like you know sex is going to run 885 00:34:33,779 --> 00:34:31,270 through everything we do you don't have 886 00:34:35,700 --> 00:34:33,789 to be afraid to believe that you just 887 00:34:38,909 --> 00:34:35,710 have to notice like I'm actually a 888 00:34:41,430 --> 00:34:38,919 composite I'm the result of a sexual app 889 00:34:43,500 --> 00:34:41,440 so it's going to follow me through my 890 00:34:47,250 --> 00:34:43,510 entire life and for me to not think that 891 00:34:49,049 --> 00:34:47,260 is you know would be naive mm-hmm men 892 00:34:52,169 --> 00:34:49,059 and and one of your writings you also 893 00:34:54,089 --> 00:34:52,179 refer to sex as an altered state and I 894 00:34:55,789 --> 00:34:54,099 could not help but agree with that it's 895 00:34:59,519 --> 00:34:55,799 probably the connective tissue between 896 00:35:02,069 --> 00:34:59,529 sex magic and drugs or psychedelics it's 897 00:35:04,170 --> 00:35:02,079 all about exploring altered states and 898 00:35:06,720 --> 00:35:04,180 when a population is doing that I guess 899 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:06,730 they're way harder to control totally 900 00:35:13,349 --> 00:35:09,130 you do conscious exploration and that's 901 00:35:16,170 --> 00:35:13,359 why so I love what you just said because 902 00:35:18,980 --> 00:35:16,180 it's reminding me that one of the 903 00:35:22,019 --> 00:35:18,990 reasons sex is so regulated and so 904 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:22,029 contained in marketing and legislation 905 00:35:26,290 --> 00:35:23,890 schemes is because it doesn't allow us 906 00:35:28,510 --> 00:35:26,300 to think about it again 907 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:28,520 the kind of sex we are a quote-unquote 908 00:35:32,230 --> 00:35:30,530 supposed to have or have in brain 909 00:35:34,090 --> 00:35:32,240 Washington thinking we should have it's 910 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:34,100 completely immersive section no it's 911 00:35:38,110 --> 00:35:36,290 like concepts where two people stumble 912 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:38,120 into a hotel room in a movie and like 913 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:40,130 smash over the lamp of a nightstand 914 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:41,810 tearing each other's clothes off that's 915 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:45,170 not what most sex is like it can be like 916 00:35:48,970 --> 00:35:46,970 that which is and it's fun when it's 917 00:35:51,010 --> 00:35:48,980 right that but that's a version of thing 918 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:51,020 but we're told if that doesn't happen 919 00:35:54,970 --> 00:35:53,330 we've done it the wrong way that we 920 00:35:56,500 --> 00:35:54,980 should feel guilty about it if it's not 921 00:35:58,690 --> 00:35:56,510 what someone we're passionately in love 922 00:36:00,880 --> 00:35:58,700 with all that kind of stuff and so as a 923 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:00,890 result we don't really get to think 924 00:36:05,980 --> 00:36:04,010 about sex we have one kind of sex where 925 00:36:07,740 --> 00:36:05,990 we feel guilty about it and the feelings 926 00:36:11,650 --> 00:36:07,750 of guilt and shame and confusion 927 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:11,660 overwhelm our ability to analyze think 928 00:36:18,250 --> 00:36:14,930 about consider the thing and so in that 929 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:18,260 sense were denied exploration of altered 930 00:36:23,740 --> 00:36:20,690 states of consciousness imagine having 931 00:36:26,740 --> 00:36:23,750 sex with someone you're not attracted to 932 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:26,750 for eight hours now that's what porn 933 00:36:32,020 --> 00:36:29,570 performers do very often we're asked to 934 00:36:34,330 --> 00:36:32,030 perform sex with somebody that we're not 935 00:36:35,590 --> 00:36:34,340 attracted to for hours on end while 936 00:36:38,110 --> 00:36:35,600 other people are standing around 937 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:38,120 recording the event that teaches you a 938 00:36:43,300 --> 00:36:41,090 lot about the experience of intertwining 939 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:43,310 with somebody else because you get to be 940 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:45,410 reflective there's time to think there's 941 00:36:51,370 --> 00:36:48,290 time to consider it's not overwhelmed by 942 00:36:53,530 --> 00:36:51,380 passion it's actually very athletic you 943 00:36:56,020 --> 00:36:53,540 have to be in a different zone and so 944 00:36:57,610 --> 00:36:56,030 that's where I've learned a lot of new 945 00:37:00,730 --> 00:36:57,620 lessons without sex and I think a lot of 946 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:00,740 sex workers in general learn sort of new 947 00:37:05,470 --> 00:37:02,810 lessons about sex that are hidden from 948 00:37:08,740 --> 00:37:05,480 us again by people trying to sell us a 949 00:37:10,150 --> 00:37:08,750 certain version of it yeah I really 950 00:37:11,410 --> 00:37:10,160 hadn't thought about it that way but I 951 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:11,420 guess it's just another day at the 952 00:37:17,380 --> 00:37:14,930 office for you in some regards but I do 953 00:37:19,240 --> 00:37:17,390 think it's kind of interesting like okay 954 00:37:20,620 --> 00:37:19,250 let me ask you because you've had sex 955 00:37:22,690 --> 00:37:20,630 with thousands of people and the more 956 00:37:24,580 --> 00:37:22,700 experience you have with something the 957 00:37:27,370 --> 00:37:24,590 deeper understanding of it you have that 958 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:27,380 said in a lot of areas of study broadly 959 00:37:31,510 --> 00:37:29,330 speaking there's usually some fairly 960 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:31,520 standard evolution of thought when 961 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:33,290 you've looked at a subject for say 10 962 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:35,570 years versus five years versus one year 963 00:37:40,059 --> 00:37:38,330 do you think your sexual understanding 964 00:37:41,650 --> 00:37:40,069 that's had those types of 965 00:37:43,180 --> 00:37:41,660 milestone so could you share maybe some 966 00:37:44,589 --> 00:37:43,190 insights you've gotten at those higher 967 00:37:47,859 --> 00:37:44,599 levels that a lot of us just aren't 968 00:37:50,049 --> 00:37:47,869 going to reach yeah sure I mean and just 969 00:37:52,989 --> 00:37:50,059 to sort of reference what you're saying 970 00:37:56,259 --> 00:37:52,999 I mean something about having sex with 971 00:37:59,019 --> 00:37:56,269 lots of people I think people sort of 972 00:38:00,969 --> 00:37:59,029 fancy themselves sexual experts right 973 00:38:03,989 --> 00:38:00,979 like you have spiritual gurus and 974 00:38:06,819 --> 00:38:03,999 neuroscientist and second wave feminists 975 00:38:08,380 --> 00:38:06,829 whatever just talking about sex as if 976 00:38:10,029 --> 00:38:08,390 they know what they're talking about and 977 00:38:11,650 --> 00:38:10,039 I'm always like how many people have you 978 00:38:13,809 --> 00:38:11,660 had sex with and they're like 10 I'm 979 00:38:15,999 --> 00:38:13,819 like I'm sorry it's just not going to 980 00:38:17,699 --> 00:38:16,009 cut it like you're not an expert you can 981 00:38:19,449 --> 00:38:17,709 be an expert in your own sexuality 982 00:38:22,150 --> 00:38:19,459 everybody's an expert in their own 983 00:38:24,009 --> 00:38:22,160 sexuality because that's just you but to 984 00:38:27,729 --> 00:38:24,019 be an expert in sex you got to have a 985 00:38:29,439 --> 00:38:27,739 lot of sex choose how it goes and you've 986 00:38:30,910 --> 00:38:29,449 got to have different kinds of sex you 987 00:38:34,059 --> 00:38:30,920 got to have different kinds of partners 988 00:38:36,819 --> 00:38:34,069 and in some ways one could argue that 989 00:38:39,999 --> 00:38:36,829 I'm a total beginner when it comes to 990 00:38:41,709 --> 00:38:40,009 like heterosexuals X however I don't 991 00:38:44,019 --> 00:38:41,719 think that's true I think that you have 992 00:38:45,910 --> 00:38:44,029 to have tons of you just have to have 993 00:38:48,609 --> 00:38:45,920 tons of sex and observe what happens to 994 00:38:50,589 --> 00:38:48,619 you and your body in those times and and 995 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:50,599 your thoughts in their time to begin to 996 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:52,130 become an expert about the sexual 997 00:38:58,900 --> 00:38:55,729 experience so what I think is you know 998 00:39:01,079 --> 00:38:58,910 over time with the sort of accumulation 999 00:39:03,579 --> 00:39:01,089 of experiences that I've had I 1000 00:39:05,650 --> 00:39:03,589 definitely learned some of the stuff 1001 00:39:07,839 --> 00:39:05,660 that I talked about before that sex has 1002 00:39:10,569 --> 00:39:07,849 a sort of thought aspect that needs to 1003 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:10,579 be paid attention to the text has a sort 1004 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:13,130 of detachment aspect that can be really 1005 00:39:19,839 --> 00:39:17,690 healthy when you say oh my body is doing 1006 00:39:21,759 --> 00:39:19,849 this right now and you start sort of 1007 00:39:23,289 --> 00:39:21,769 getting this observational space when 1008 00:39:25,599 --> 00:39:23,299 you're having sex that can give you 1009 00:39:29,009 --> 00:39:25,609 something really special but what those 1010 00:39:32,549 --> 00:39:29,019 boil down to is that intimacy is 1011 00:39:35,199 --> 00:39:32,559 impersonal what do I mean by that I mean 1012 00:39:37,209 --> 00:39:35,209 intimacy is like it's something that we 1013 00:39:39,910 --> 00:39:37,219 create with other people and that we can 1014 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:39,920 create at any time and that's something 1015 00:39:44,349 --> 00:39:41,690 that again I learned from being 1016 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:44,359 scheduled to have sex with somebody at a 1017 00:39:48,849 --> 00:39:46,130 certain time for a certain length of 1018 00:39:50,469 --> 00:39:48,859 time all that kind of stuff I show up on 1019 00:39:53,420 --> 00:39:50,479 the set and it's somebody that I'm not 1020 00:39:56,059 --> 00:39:53,430 into and I have to find my way in 1021 00:39:58,250 --> 00:39:56,069 no pun intended I've defined my way into 1022 00:40:00,740 --> 00:39:58,260 that sexual experience so I have to find 1023 00:40:03,020 --> 00:40:00,750 something and generate my own attraction 1024 00:40:04,790 --> 00:40:03,030 to that person so I seek through my head 1025 00:40:06,770 --> 00:40:04,800 okay when I'm charged with this or this 1026 00:40:09,260 --> 00:40:06,780 or this over a certain period of time 1027 00:40:12,020 --> 00:40:09,270 you understand that you can really do 1028 00:40:13,150 --> 00:40:12,030 that with anybody if you want and it's 1029 00:40:16,099 --> 00:40:13,160 not something that I necessarily 1030 00:40:19,089 --> 00:40:16,109 recommend to everybody but I just want 1031 00:40:23,390 --> 00:40:19,099 to call out this culture that sort of 1032 00:40:25,069 --> 00:40:23,400 lazily depends on chemistry to sort of 1033 00:40:27,740 --> 00:40:25,079 carry you through the sexual experience 1034 00:40:30,109 --> 00:40:27,750 I have to be attracted the person I have 1035 00:40:32,150 --> 00:40:30,119 it no no no you actually create that 1036 00:40:35,770 --> 00:40:32,160 experience it's not just sitting there 1037 00:40:38,569 --> 00:40:35,780 waiting for you you're generating it and 1038 00:40:40,819 --> 00:40:38,579 that was a lesson of that cultural 1039 00:40:42,530 --> 00:40:40,829 revolution we're talking about with 1040 00:40:44,569 --> 00:40:42,540 hippies and stuff like that like they 1041 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:44,579 just decide to go for it you know what 1042 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:46,410 love is free I'm going today I'm going 1043 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:48,450 to generate this kind of loving feeling 1044 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:50,490 for other people that's another reason 1045 00:40:54,799 --> 00:40:53,010 why it Beck's is like really threatening 1046 00:40:57,650 --> 00:40:54,809 to people in power because you start 1047 00:40:59,569 --> 00:40:57,660 like realizing that you can generate 1048 00:41:01,280 --> 00:40:59,579 intimacy and chemistry with anybody that 1049 00:41:03,380 --> 00:41:01,290 you want and suddenly you don't want to 1050 00:41:05,329 --> 00:41:03,390 go and like kill people anymore you just 1051 00:41:06,829 --> 00:41:05,339 want to have sex with them like oh we 1052 00:41:08,510 --> 00:41:06,839 can just have this kind of relationship 1053 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:08,520 with each other instead of like and 1054 00:41:13,549 --> 00:41:11,010 settle it that way in some giant sexual 1055 00:41:16,270 --> 00:41:13,559 potlatch instead of having you know an 1056 00:41:17,530 --> 00:41:16,280 orgy of war with each other instead 1057 00:41:21,349 --> 00:41:17,540 mm-hmm 1058 00:41:23,299 --> 00:41:21,359 fair enough and you know on the subject 1059 00:41:25,010 --> 00:41:23,309 of control schemes I've been just 1060 00:41:27,349 --> 00:41:25,020 thinking about this a lot and trying to 1061 00:41:29,180 --> 00:41:27,359 get ready for the show and to touch on 1062 00:41:30,980 --> 00:41:29,190 the subject of raising children in the 1063 00:41:33,589 --> 00:41:30,990 traditional family model which is 1064 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:33,599 something conspiracy people are kind of 1065 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:35,490 obsessed with a certain section of them 1066 00:41:40,039 --> 00:41:37,410 that traditional nuclear family 1067 00:41:42,140 --> 00:41:40,049 there are conspiratorial arguments that 1068 00:41:44,359 --> 00:41:42,150 much of what the elite do is an attack 1069 00:41:47,690 --> 00:41:44,369 on that but there are also arguments 1070 00:41:50,710 --> 00:41:47,700 that by pushing the idea that these two 1071 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:50,720 person man woman couplings is the only 1072 00:41:56,359 --> 00:41:53,490 acceptable way to live you make people 1073 00:41:58,099 --> 00:41:56,369 far more controllable especially if you 1074 00:41:59,900 --> 00:41:58,109 make them solely responsible for their 1075 00:42:01,730 --> 00:41:59,910 dependents and then they're locked into 1076 00:42:04,700 --> 00:42:01,740 a hamster wheel job for most of their 1077 00:42:07,130 --> 00:42:04,710 lives this is a way of kind of looking 1078 00:42:09,110 --> 00:42:07,140 at that nuclear family as 1079 00:42:12,620 --> 00:42:09,120 ancient control scheme to an extent 1080 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:12,630 couldn't you say yeah I think that um I 1081 00:42:17,270 --> 00:42:15,690 think that if any of those pro-nuclear 1082 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:17,280 family people are still listening at 1083 00:42:23,690 --> 00:42:20,130 this point I just want to say like I 1084 00:42:26,690 --> 00:42:23,700 totally respect people's right to and 1085 00:42:29,030 --> 00:42:26,700 desire even to have that kind of family 1086 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:29,040 unit I think they might want to 1087 00:42:32,990 --> 00:42:31,410 investigate why that's important to them 1088 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:33,000 and come up with real reasons other than 1089 00:42:36,140 --> 00:42:34,650 just like that's just what I want that's 1090 00:42:38,060 --> 00:42:36,150 what my parents said that's what I you 1091 00:42:40,430 --> 00:42:38,070 know I think investigate that but I'm 1092 00:42:42,740 --> 00:42:40,440 sympathetic to wanting to have whatever 1093 00:42:45,100 --> 00:42:42,750 kinds of relationships you want to have 1094 00:42:48,230 --> 00:42:45,110 and feeling that those things might be 1095 00:42:48,650 --> 00:42:48,240 assaulted eroded by the culture that we 1096 00:42:52,250 --> 00:42:48,660 live in 1097 00:42:55,970 --> 00:42:52,260 I don't like go for it and understand 1098 00:42:58,220 --> 00:42:55,980 that you should not be enforcing that 1099 00:43:00,140 --> 00:42:58,230 kind of cultural control and erosion 1100 00:43:03,410 --> 00:43:00,150 toward anyone else's kind of 1101 00:43:05,390 --> 00:43:03,420 relationship either that's all I ask 1102 00:43:08,540 --> 00:43:05,400 you know I mean I think it's pretty 1103 00:43:09,890 --> 00:43:08,550 simple identify that people in power 1104 00:43:11,900 --> 00:43:09,900 trying to regulate the kinds of 1105 00:43:14,810 --> 00:43:11,910 relationships we have this is actually 1106 00:43:17,180 --> 00:43:14,820 something that I and a lot of a lot of 1107 00:43:19,310 --> 00:43:17,190 gay people although this was not known 1108 00:43:21,230 --> 00:43:19,320 by most straight people of time why a 1109 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:21,240 lot of us oppose gay marriage I mean 1110 00:43:25,430 --> 00:43:24,210 we're totally against it and it was not 1111 00:43:27,050 --> 00:43:25,440 part of the general cultural 1112 00:43:29,930 --> 00:43:27,060 conversation it was because it was like 1113 00:43:32,540 --> 00:43:29,940 but I don't I don't care I mean people 1114 00:43:35,240 --> 00:43:32,550 if people want to get married like go 1115 00:43:37,550 --> 00:43:35,250 for it but likewise this conversation 1116 00:43:38,540 --> 00:43:37,560 you know we opposed this conversation 1117 00:43:41,900 --> 00:43:38,550 that should have said that we oppose 1118 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:41,910 this conversation that leads out all the 1119 00:43:45,980 --> 00:43:43,770 people that really don't give a [\h__\h] 1120 00:43:47,510 --> 00:43:45,990 about getting married but more to the 1121 00:43:48,740 --> 00:43:47,520 point we don't give a [\h__\h] about getting 1122 00:43:52,190 --> 00:43:48,750 married because that means that the 1123 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:52,200 state then intercede in Vaes and has 1124 00:43:56,180 --> 00:43:53,970 control over the kinds of relationships 1125 00:43:59,180 --> 00:43:56,190 who are supposed to have and we have to 1126 00:44:02,120 --> 00:43:59,190 get like a state approved stamp on our 1127 00:44:03,890 --> 00:44:02,130 relationship and not only that like it 1128 00:44:05,390 --> 00:44:03,900 has consequences for the people that 1129 00:44:08,570 --> 00:44:05,400 don't want that State Approved 1130 00:44:10,250 --> 00:44:08,580 relationship and so all those people are 1131 00:44:12,740 --> 00:44:10,260 denied that don't get the same rights as 1132 00:44:14,570 --> 00:44:12,750 we do and it's all because it's all 1133 00:44:16,700 --> 00:44:14,580 because the people who are married and 1134 00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:16,710 getting married are enforcing and 1135 00:44:19,900 --> 00:44:18,210 supporting state control and power 1136 00:44:23,410 --> 00:44:19,910 because they're and 1137 00:44:26,410 --> 00:44:23,420 the models with APIs cool and so that is 1138 00:44:27,970 --> 00:44:26,420 you know our entire economic system is 1139 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:27,980 based on a certain kind of relationship 1140 00:44:32,079 --> 00:44:30,650 and so if you want to look at how you're 1141 00:44:33,910 --> 00:44:32,089 reinforcing and supporting power 1142 00:44:35,140 --> 00:44:33,920 structures look no further than the 1143 00:44:37,359 --> 00:44:35,150 kinds of relationships that you have 1144 00:44:39,269 --> 00:44:37,369 with each other those are claims the 1145 00:44:41,829 --> 00:44:39,279 state hands you know in a lot of ways 1146 00:44:45,819 --> 00:44:41,839 right I mean you're talking to a guys 1147 00:44:48,039 --> 00:44:45,829 getting married thirty days like I said 1148 00:44:49,930 --> 00:44:48,049 I'm down man like I think if people have 1149 00:44:51,730 --> 00:44:49,940 wedding have loved ceremonies have 1150 00:44:54,190 --> 00:44:51,740 commitment ceremonies do all that kind 1151 00:44:56,319 --> 00:44:54,200 of stuff it's just the you know have 1152 00:44:57,730 --> 00:44:56,329 something more in your conversation you 1153 00:45:00,370 --> 00:44:57,740 talk about it publicly that's why I'm 1154 00:45:02,589 --> 00:45:00,380 always like dude like you guys like you 1155 00:45:04,509 --> 00:45:02,599 too you know Brian and Brian go get 1156 00:45:07,180 --> 00:45:04,519 married to each other I don't care just 1157 00:45:09,220 --> 00:45:07,190 make sure you tell people that like it's 1158 00:45:11,380 --> 00:45:09,230 not the only kind of relationship that's 1159 00:45:14,049 --> 00:45:11,390 available or that needs to be had in our 1160 00:45:16,089 --> 00:45:14,059 culture and that's a fair point a lot of 1161 00:45:18,670 --> 00:45:16,099 it like you mentioned is related to 1162 00:45:20,109 --> 00:45:18,680 economics you have to get a partner to 1163 00:45:22,269 --> 00:45:20,119 get through this life because you can't 1164 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:22,279 do it alone I mean you can but it's much 1165 00:45:26,710 --> 00:45:25,130 harder but okay so this is going to get 1166 00:45:29,620 --> 00:45:26,720 a little raw man I'm gonna get honest 1167 00:45:31,660 --> 00:45:29,630 but you tell me if I'm wrong so I've 1168 00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:31,670 been hearing a couple different sects 1169 00:45:36,609 --> 00:45:34,130 freedom advocates saying that monogamy 1170 00:45:38,529 --> 00:45:36,619 is ridiculous and we should explore more 1171 00:45:40,450 --> 00:45:38,539 partners in our lives and maybe be more 1172 00:45:43,269 --> 00:45:40,460 open to sexual exploration and 1173 00:45:45,460 --> 00:45:43,279 experimentation and I got no issues with 1174 00:45:46,630 --> 00:45:45,470 that perspective really but I think 1175 00:45:49,990 --> 00:45:46,640 about two things 1176 00:45:52,029 --> 00:45:50,000 one may be homosexual men have a greater 1177 00:45:54,220 --> 00:45:52,039 tendency to feel that way because they 1178 00:45:56,410 --> 00:45:54,230 have less potential consequences than 1179 00:45:57,910 --> 00:45:56,420 heterosexual sex because if I get three 1180 00:45:59,650 --> 00:45:57,920 different women pregnant my life is 1181 00:46:02,220 --> 00:45:59,660 pretty much [\h__\h] in this society and 1182 00:46:05,140 --> 00:46:02,230 number two if you're gay then the 1183 00:46:06,940 --> 00:46:05,150 procreation aspects of sex go away and 1184 00:46:09,460 --> 00:46:06,950 your dick is just a fun stick and I get 1185 00:46:11,559 --> 00:46:09,470 that but gay men also don't have to deal 1186 00:46:13,809 --> 00:46:11,569 with the female psychology which i think 1187 00:46:14,559 --> 00:46:13,819 is different and I think wants different 1188 00:46:16,420 --> 00:46:14,569 things 1189 00:46:19,690 --> 00:46:16,430 maybe it's manipulated to a degree as 1190 00:46:22,269 --> 00:46:19,700 well but I wonder how applicable those 1191 00:46:27,849 --> 00:46:22,279 ideas are to a largely straight society 1192 00:46:29,559 --> 00:46:27,859 yeah I mean first of all I think they 1193 00:46:31,660 --> 00:46:29,569 have to be at they have to be applicable 1194 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:31,670 because people cheat on each other all 1195 00:46:34,690 --> 00:46:33,410 the time so 1196 00:46:36,729 --> 00:46:34,700 it's time to look at the fact that 1197 00:46:39,279 --> 00:46:36,739 people who say they're monogamous very 1198 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:39,289 often or not and if you're listening to 1199 00:46:43,870 --> 00:46:42,170 the show and you say you are a total Pro 1200 00:46:46,749 --> 00:46:43,880 monogamy but you have cheated on your 1201 00:46:48,819 --> 00:46:46,759 partner you're not throw monogamy super 1202 00:46:50,469 --> 00:46:48,829 critical it it doesn't B's because 1203 00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:50,479 you're a hypocrite it's just look at who 1204 00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:53,450 you are and say like what happened in 1205 00:46:57,039 --> 00:46:55,249 that moment what Crushers was I feeling 1206 00:46:59,079 --> 00:46:57,049 you know cultural pressures I'm just 1207 00:47:00,640 --> 00:46:59,089 relational pressures like what was I 1208 00:47:02,529 --> 00:47:00,650 feeling in that moment that I couldn't 1209 00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:02,539 do this why could I not talk to my 1210 00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:04,130 partner about what I wanted all that 1211 00:47:08,950 --> 00:47:06,410 kind of stuff right I think monogamy is 1212 00:47:10,630 --> 00:47:08,960 again monogamy is fine as long as you 1213 00:47:12,849 --> 00:47:10,640 recognize it as one of the great 1214 00:47:15,729 --> 00:47:12,859 widespread sexual perversions of our 1215 00:47:17,019 --> 00:47:15,739 time it is pretty pretty intense to live 1216 00:47:19,089 --> 00:47:17,029 with someone for the rest of your life 1217 00:47:22,569 --> 00:47:19,099 and hold yourself in two places 1218 00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:22,579 withholding repressive sexual relation 1219 00:47:25,089 --> 00:47:24,650 like oh I just get to deal with my 1220 00:47:27,069 --> 00:47:25,099 partner 1221 00:47:29,410 --> 00:47:27,079 that's a perversion and I don't I don't 1222 00:47:31,569 --> 00:47:29,420 mean that in a bad way I'm far be it for 1223 00:47:33,849 --> 00:47:31,579 me to call perversions back I just think 1224 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:33,859 it's like you have to recognize that 1225 00:47:37,900 --> 00:47:35,450 there's something that your eroticizing 1226 00:47:40,839 --> 00:47:37,910 about that that is a sexual thing that 1227 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:40,849 you're doing and so if we do that and we 1228 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:42,890 say okay well that's my preferred you 1229 00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:45,410 know saying I like that feeling of 1230 00:47:50,529 --> 00:47:48,170 frustration withholding all that concept 1231 00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:50,539 and go ahead if you're unhappy in that 1232 00:47:54,549 --> 00:47:53,450 then you know and it's not it's messing 1233 00:47:57,819 --> 00:47:54,559 you up you might want to reconsider 1234 00:47:59,349 --> 00:47:57,829 because the fact is and I'll point it in 1235 00:48:01,989 --> 00:47:59,359 the other direction to the fact is that 1236 00:48:03,579 --> 00:48:01,999 most people are monogamous I think 1237 00:48:05,349 --> 00:48:03,589 because they're insecure about their 1238 00:48:07,809 --> 00:48:05,359 partner leading them most people are 1239 00:48:08,559 --> 00:48:07,819 open because they're afraid of 1240 00:48:12,130 --> 00:48:08,569 commitment 1241 00:48:14,019 --> 00:48:12,140 and it needs to be that you enter into 1242 00:48:16,359 --> 00:48:14,029 the relating model you have with your 1243 00:48:18,099 --> 00:48:16,369 partner intentionally not out of the 1244 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:18,109 knee-jerk reaction or cultural pressure 1245 00:48:22,630 --> 00:48:20,450 how many people do that I mean that is 1246 00:48:25,450 --> 00:48:22,640 very rare that people like okay this is 1247 00:48:27,459 --> 00:48:25,460 actually what I've decided and my 1248 00:48:29,650 --> 00:48:27,469 partner's decide we want with each other 1249 00:48:31,959 --> 00:48:29,660 very intentionally there's been a deep 1250 00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:31,969 discussion about it and we've decided 1251 00:48:37,299 --> 00:48:34,729 you know understand all these options 1252 00:48:39,849 --> 00:48:37,309 are available to you that we don't even 1253 00:48:41,950 --> 00:48:39,859 think about like with my partner it's 1254 00:48:44,019 --> 00:48:41,960 like okay let's be monogamous this month 1255 00:48:47,140 --> 00:48:44,029 and the next month we'll do something 1256 00:48:49,210 --> 00:48:47,150 else or you can save your partner list 1257 00:48:50,530 --> 00:48:49,220 monogamous you know and revisit the 1258 00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:50,540 converse the revisit this conversation 1259 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:52,850 every six months you can say let's be 1260 00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:54,770 monogamous for a day it doesn't have to 1261 00:48:58,120 --> 00:48:56,810 be a lifelong thing you can move in and 1262 00:49:00,940 --> 00:48:58,130 out of the state kind of like being 1263 00:49:03,460 --> 00:49:00,950 vegetarian you know I mean it's like did 1264 00:49:05,710 --> 00:49:03,470 it do it do what it's healthy for you in 1265 00:49:08,530 --> 00:49:05,720 that moment and then you can revert and 1266 00:49:11,260 --> 00:49:08,540 have it have a cheat day so to speak you 1267 00:49:13,060 --> 00:49:11,270 know whatever the lots of versions that 1268 00:49:15,820 --> 00:49:13,070 are available but you should do it what 1269 00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:15,830 you really want what you truly want and 1270 00:49:20,470 --> 00:49:18,770 that entails investigating what you want 1271 00:49:24,370 --> 00:49:20,480 now I didn't really answer your question 1272 00:49:27,550 --> 00:49:24,380 about do the gay things apply to the 1273 00:49:29,050 --> 00:49:27,560 street people or whatever I can still do 1274 00:49:31,390 --> 00:49:29,060 that but I just talked a lot so I'll 1275 00:49:33,130 --> 00:49:31,400 back on a second this if you want to 1276 00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:33,140 aged any of that stuff well that's 1277 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:34,850 really all I was going to reiterate is 1278 00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:37,490 like obviously nothing's impossible and 1279 00:49:41,770 --> 00:49:39,410 people can find ways to live in many 1280 00:49:45,370 --> 00:49:41,780 different nuanced ways but I think it's 1281 00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:45,380 easier for two guys to have that type of 1282 00:49:50,470 --> 00:49:48,170 paradigm that you're discussing of like 1283 00:49:53,050 --> 00:49:50,480 flipping monogamy on and off than it is 1284 00:49:55,270 --> 00:49:53,060 for a man and woman one because if 1285 00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:55,280 there's kids involved first off the 1286 00:49:58,840 --> 00:49:56,930 psychology between men and women is so 1287 00:50:01,180 --> 00:49:58,850 different already just trying to make it 1288 00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:01,190 work in a simple fashion is difficult I 1289 00:50:04,930 --> 00:50:03,170 mean it's a cliche joke everybody's 1290 00:50:06,730 --> 00:50:04,940 heard that when people get frustrated 1291 00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:06,740 dealing with the opposite sex are like 1292 00:50:09,430 --> 00:50:07,850 well I'm just going to go gay and 1293 00:50:11,020 --> 00:50:09,440 simplify this because I can't understand 1294 00:50:13,210 --> 00:50:11,030 that opposite sex everybody's heard that 1295 00:50:17,310 --> 00:50:13,220 joke and there's some truth there's it's 1296 00:50:19,450 --> 00:50:17,320 very difficult so managing just that 1297 00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:19,460 sexual relationship that's supposed to 1298 00:50:23,890 --> 00:50:21,170 last a long time let's say in a marriage 1299 00:50:26,980 --> 00:50:23,900 is hard to add those elements where you 1300 00:50:29,050 --> 00:50:26,990 have now two different psychologies that 1301 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:29,060 are dealing with jealousy and different 1302 00:50:32,860 --> 00:50:30,770 issues like that if they have kids 1303 00:50:34,780 --> 00:50:32,870 obviously that can split up families and 1304 00:50:36,550 --> 00:50:34,790 when when families are split up kids are 1305 00:50:38,020 --> 00:50:36,560 affected in this modern world of course 1306 00:50:39,490 --> 00:50:38,030 there's other ways to do that too he 1307 00:50:41,710 --> 00:50:39,500 takes a village to raise a kid 1308 00:50:43,630 --> 00:50:41,720 indigenous cultures and tribes have been 1309 00:50:46,390 --> 00:50:43,640 doing it that way with great success so 1310 00:50:49,210 --> 00:50:46,400 they say but in our culture kids who go 1311 00:50:51,820 --> 00:50:49,220 through divorced families often do have 1312 00:50:53,140 --> 00:50:51,830 issues growing up and people also can 1313 00:50:55,540 --> 00:50:53,150 grow up with issues it really isn't 1314 00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:55,550 going to kill you but again I just think 1315 00:50:59,740 --> 00:50:56,810 there's that difference I think it might 1316 00:51:01,000 --> 00:50:59,750 be easier for two guys yeah I mean I 1317 00:51:04,390 --> 00:51:01,010 think you'll find 1318 00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:04,400 now whether or not this is a compulsive 1319 00:51:07,420 --> 00:51:06,290 thing or an intentional thing for you 1320 00:51:09,580 --> 00:51:07,430 and your relationship in your 1321 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:09,590 heterosexual relationship by simply 1322 00:51:14,740 --> 00:51:11,930 asking yourself right now what if I 1323 00:51:16,810 --> 00:51:14,750 brought this up to my partner so ask 1324 00:51:18,460 --> 00:51:16,820 yourself importantly what if I said um 1325 00:51:20,710 --> 00:51:18,470 sweetheart what if we had an open 1326 00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:20,720 relationship and if you find yourself 1327 00:51:24,940 --> 00:51:22,970 thinking there's no way in hell I can 1328 00:51:27,700 --> 00:51:24,950 talk to Cheryl about that or whatever 1329 00:51:30,940 --> 00:51:27,710 you [\h__\h] you'll find yourself like oh 1330 00:51:33,010 --> 00:51:30,950 it's actually not about like what's 1331 00:51:35,230 --> 00:51:33,020 available to us it's about me not being 1332 00:51:36,490 --> 00:51:35,240 able to speak because you should at 1333 00:51:39,670 --> 00:51:36,500 least be able to have the conversation 1334 00:51:42,790 --> 00:51:39,680 so I just want to say that I don't want 1335 00:51:44,620 --> 00:51:42,800 to get into a you and I could talk about 1336 00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:44,630 it for hours so I don't really want to 1337 00:51:49,030 --> 00:51:46,970 get into whether or not there is an 1338 00:51:50,890 --> 00:51:49,040 essential female or male psychology I 1339 00:51:53,530 --> 00:51:50,900 don't think there is but I think that 1340 00:51:56,140 --> 00:51:53,540 that's to be honest it's a conversation 1341 00:51:58,270 --> 00:51:56,150 that it's happening like on every other 1342 00:52:00,640 --> 00:51:58,280 podcast in the world right now and so 1343 00:52:03,100 --> 00:52:00,650 it's a little boring and I'm really 1344 00:52:05,260 --> 00:52:03,110 really Kola rising in a way that it's 1345 00:52:06,820 --> 00:52:05,270 like I'd rather just talk about the 1346 00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:06,830 other interesting things about what you 1347 00:52:12,220 --> 00:52:09,650 said so I think any kind of relationship 1348 00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:12,230 can work as long as the communication is 1349 00:52:16,660 --> 00:52:14,330 available and no relationship will work 1350 00:52:18,340 --> 00:52:16,670 if it's not so those are the kinds of 1351 00:52:21,310 --> 00:52:18,350 questions to ask yourself about like am 1352 00:52:23,500 --> 00:52:21,320 i able to communicate with my partner am 1353 00:52:25,390 --> 00:52:23,510 I able to show like show up with a 1354 00:52:28,180 --> 00:52:25,400 what-if scenario without everything 1355 00:52:31,300 --> 00:52:28,190 falling apart and if you can you have an 1356 00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:31,310 issue and that I think is like the basis 1357 00:52:35,710 --> 00:52:33,410 of a lot of problems in our culture when 1358 00:52:37,750 --> 00:52:35,720 it comes to sex in general which is 1359 00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:37,760 we're not allowed to even discuss it 1360 00:52:41,410 --> 00:52:39,290 we're not allowed to talk about our 1361 00:52:43,900 --> 00:52:41,420 family we're not allowed to even like 1362 00:52:46,180 --> 00:52:43,910 say hey you know I'm not going to act on 1363 00:52:50,020 --> 00:52:46,190 this but I imagine it in other words 1364 00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:50,030 there is a cultural demand that we not 1365 00:52:54,580 --> 00:52:52,490 even imagine certain things and that is 1366 00:52:57,880 --> 00:52:54,590 hugely problematic and that again is 1367 00:53:00,220 --> 00:52:57,890 about the war against consciousness no 1368 00:53:01,870 --> 00:53:00,230 that's well said and I do agree with you 1369 00:53:05,260 --> 00:53:01,880 it's like is your relationship really 1370 00:53:08,470 --> 00:53:05,270 based on complete trust openness and 1371 00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:08,480 honesty or are there huge blacked-out 1372 00:53:13,390 --> 00:53:11,090 areas where you cannot go with the 1373 00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:13,400 person that you are tied to for the rest 1374 00:53:17,740 --> 00:53:14,690 of your life 1375 00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:17,750 on paper and yeah that is an issue if 1376 00:53:21,660 --> 00:53:19,490 you can't broach certain subjects with 1377 00:53:24,790 --> 00:53:21,670 them you know something else I was 1378 00:53:27,790 --> 00:53:24,800 interested in going through just all the 1379 00:53:30,849 --> 00:53:27,800 areas where occultism and sexuality 1380 00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:30,859 intersect and I'm kind of intellectually 1381 00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:32,450 intrigued by these schools of thought 1382 00:53:38,710 --> 00:53:35,810 that by forgoing orgasm completely you 1383 00:53:40,599 --> 00:53:38,720 can actually reach other sorts of 1384 00:53:42,309 --> 00:53:40,609 enlightened states I don't think I'd 1385 00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:42,319 ever have the discipline but have you 1386 00:53:47,730 --> 00:53:43,970 ever looked into that realm or anything 1387 00:53:50,410 --> 00:53:47,740 like that yeah well there's there's well 1388 00:53:53,380 --> 00:53:50,420 it's not usually orgasm the thought of 1389 00:53:55,630 --> 00:53:53,390 this orgasm ejaculation is the more 1390 00:53:58,150 --> 00:53:55,640 common fair and there is a difference 1391 00:54:00,609 --> 00:53:58,160 yes so men are not supposed to ejaculate 1392 00:54:01,900 --> 00:54:00,619 because it reaches like blah blah this 1393 00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:01,910 think of charissa 1394 00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:05,930 I think fundamentalist nonsense I'm not 1395 00:54:09,790 --> 00:54:07,970 saying don't experiment with it I'm just 1396 00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:09,800 saying when you look into croutha and we 1397 00:54:14,559 --> 00:54:12,290 look at some of the people who hype it 1398 00:54:17,500 --> 00:54:14,569 up a lot of what they're talking about 1399 00:54:19,270 --> 00:54:17,510 has a moral component and that's what I 1400 00:54:21,099 --> 00:54:19,280 find really problematic that people are 1401 00:54:22,450 --> 00:54:21,109 like oh well you're just so much night 1402 00:54:23,980 --> 00:54:22,460 during the relationship and you blah 1403 00:54:28,329 --> 00:54:23,990 blah blah blah I mean I just think that 1404 00:54:29,829 --> 00:54:28,339 I find that like to be an issue I don't 1405 00:54:32,530 --> 00:54:29,839 find a problem with people experimenting 1406 00:54:34,930 --> 00:54:32,540 with it I just like mostly when I read 1407 00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:34,940 that kind of stuff it's like we're not 1408 00:54:40,510 --> 00:54:38,810 sex negative people um and we just think 1409 00:54:42,790 --> 00:54:40,520 we just think that you need to do this 1410 00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:42,800 because you'll be nicer happier have a 1411 00:54:48,700 --> 00:54:46,010 better life and blah blah it's like okay 1412 00:54:50,020 --> 00:54:48,710 you're basically moralizing about the 1413 00:54:52,660 --> 00:54:50,030 thing that you say you're not moralizing 1414 00:54:53,980 --> 00:54:52,670 about and it's always supposed to bury 1415 00:54:55,630 --> 00:54:53,990 often you also see these things are 1416 00:54:59,109 --> 00:54:55,640 supposed to take place between two 1417 00:55:02,740 --> 00:54:59,119 partners like your partner in a 1418 00:55:04,540 --> 00:55:02,750 committed relationship and so I just you 1419 00:55:06,339 --> 00:55:04,550 know if people can point me to better 1420 00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:06,349 instances of that what people are 1421 00:55:11,170 --> 00:55:08,410 talking about it in a really sort of 1422 00:55:13,210 --> 00:55:11,180 free/liberated way I'd be totally open 1423 00:55:15,730 --> 00:55:13,220 to checking it out I just don't see it 1424 00:55:18,250 --> 00:55:15,740 in that context very much fair enough 1425 00:55:20,319 --> 00:55:18,260 yeah I know I know abstinence worked for 1426 00:55:22,059 --> 00:55:20,329 George Costanza in a Seinfeld episode I 1427 00:55:25,089 --> 00:55:22,069 don't know how applicable that is for 1428 00:55:28,030 --> 00:55:25,099 everybody well let me ask you just about 1429 00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:28,040 sex magic or tantric practices of any 1430 00:55:31,210 --> 00:55:28,490 kind 1431 00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:31,220 have you have you combined your interest 1432 00:55:34,570 --> 00:55:33,290 in the occult and sexuality in any 1433 00:55:37,150 --> 00:55:34,580 significant way that might be 1434 00:55:40,359 --> 00:55:37,160 interesting to people explaining them 1435 00:55:42,730 --> 00:55:40,369 like people and and I want people to 1436 00:55:45,490 --> 00:55:42,740 take this away from this podcast - 1437 00:55:49,990 --> 00:55:45,500 people ask me about do I do sex magic 1438 00:55:53,620 --> 00:55:50,000 all time and I don't and the reason why 1439 00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:53,630 is because sex is magic I don't need to 1440 00:55:58,330 --> 00:55:55,610 turn it into something I don't need to 1441 00:55:59,500 --> 00:55:58,340 utilize it I just need to again all the 1442 00:56:01,150 --> 00:55:59,510 stuff I was talking about before 1443 00:56:03,310 --> 00:56:01,160 pay attention what's happing in the 1444 00:56:04,930 --> 00:56:03,320 sexual extreme a lot of sex magic works 1445 00:56:06,940 --> 00:56:04,940 on the principle that you were just sort 1446 00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:06,950 of paying attention to what happens in 1447 00:56:12,940 --> 00:56:11,090 your body and somehow importing kinds of 1448 00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:12,950 meaning to the occult meaning - all 1449 00:56:16,240 --> 00:56:13,850 these things that are happening in your 1450 00:56:17,859 --> 00:56:16,250 body like then I do that when I have sex 1451 00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:17,869 anyway and if you do that when you have 1452 00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:20,330 sex anyway sex will become magic in your 1453 00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:23,810 life after you like nothing will push 1454 00:56:29,109 --> 00:56:26,450 your consciousness forward like paying 1455 00:56:32,109 --> 00:56:29,119 attention to the sex you have adding 1456 00:56:34,210 --> 00:56:32,119 more sex and being open to new sexual 1457 00:56:36,599 --> 00:56:34,220 experiences that is the [\h__\h] that will 1458 00:56:39,790 --> 00:56:36,609 bring you up on a chain of human 1459 00:56:41,770 --> 00:56:39,800 progression of consciousness so just do 1460 00:56:43,930 --> 00:56:41,780 that and you don't need to like you know 1461 00:56:45,700 --> 00:56:43,940 light a black candle and like you know 1462 00:56:46,930 --> 00:56:45,710 paint a snake on your back before you 1463 00:56:49,420 --> 00:56:46,940 have sex with your partner know what 1464 00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:49,430 that's worth like you can just you can 1465 00:56:53,950 --> 00:56:52,490 just get there by having you know lots 1466 00:56:55,420 --> 00:56:53,960 of pleasure and paying attention what's 1467 00:56:57,070 --> 00:56:55,430 going on hmm 1468 00:56:59,800 --> 00:56:57,080 and what do you think would be some of 1469 00:57:01,570 --> 00:56:59,810 the benefits of doing that that might 1470 00:57:03,790 --> 00:57:01,580 not be obvious to people how would it 1471 00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:03,800 affect other areas of your life if you 1472 00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:06,290 really were to be serious and nailed 1473 00:57:10,900 --> 00:57:08,810 down trying to get deeper into your own 1474 00:57:14,890 --> 00:57:10,910 sexuality yeah okay 1475 00:57:19,420 --> 00:57:14,900 so here's a really good here's a good 1476 00:57:22,359 --> 00:57:19,430 example from my life um so I like many 1477 00:57:24,370 --> 00:57:22,369 people was a sexual races and what do I 1478 00:57:25,990 --> 00:57:24,380 mean by that and people have a real 1479 00:57:28,599 --> 00:57:26,000 problem with this like I was only 1480 00:57:31,030 --> 00:57:28,609 attracted to a certain kind of guy of 1481 00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:31,040 certain ethnicity right like they're 1482 00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:34,010 white or they were Arabs like me so I'm 1483 00:57:38,890 --> 00:57:36,650 half Irish my mom's my mom's Irish my 1484 00:57:42,250 --> 00:57:38,900 dad's from Sirius a half Irish in half 1485 00:57:45,690 --> 00:57:42,260 Arab and so I wasn't attracted to 1486 00:57:50,890 --> 00:57:45,700 black guys or asian guys or whatever and 1487 00:57:52,450 --> 00:57:50,900 by allowing myself to enter into the 1488 00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:52,460 text works in areas that I did where I 1489 00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:53,930 had that sex with people whereas like 1490 00:57:59,590 --> 00:57:55,970 not just the people that I preferred 1491 00:58:02,620 --> 00:57:59,600 that begins to unlock my ability to 1492 00:58:05,830 --> 00:58:02,630 sexualize people and be attracted to 1493 00:58:07,660 --> 00:58:05,840 people who were not just white dudes or 1494 00:58:10,599 --> 00:58:07,670 Arab dudes or white Arab Jews or 1495 00:58:12,010 --> 00:58:10,609 whatever and as a result but nothing 1496 00:58:15,099 --> 00:58:12,020 allows you to really humanize people 1497 00:58:17,290 --> 00:58:15,109 like being attracted to them it's the 1498 00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:17,300 exact opposite of what people say like 1499 00:58:22,540 --> 00:58:19,970 Oh sexualizing someone or eroticizing 1500 00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:22,550 someone or it's a justification and that 1501 00:58:27,940 --> 00:58:25,010 means to humanization quite the contrary 1502 00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:27,950 like when you allow somebody into your 1503 00:58:34,030 --> 00:58:30,890 sort of erotic ideas your Rob states 1504 00:58:36,430 --> 00:58:34,040 like they become more human to you in a 1505 00:58:37,930 --> 00:58:36,440 huge way and I think let's just find 1506 00:58:39,430 --> 00:58:37,940 this this is true that doesn't mean that 1507 00:58:41,849 --> 00:58:39,440 there's no problems that doesn't mean 1508 00:58:43,870 --> 00:58:41,859 that we but that we see somebody it's 1509 00:58:45,670 --> 00:58:43,880 completely human just because we're 1510 00:58:48,010 --> 00:58:45,680 attracted to them I mean obviously like 1511 00:58:51,010 --> 00:58:48,020 men treat women like [\h__\h] like you know 1512 00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:51,020 across the board however it means that 1513 00:58:55,090 --> 00:58:53,330 you've opened up some space for yourself 1514 00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:55,100 to relate to that person as another 1515 00:58:58,660 --> 00:58:55,850 human being 1516 00:59:01,630 --> 00:58:58,670 whereas before is like you know my 1517 00:59:03,910 --> 00:59:01,640 racism stuff like my all the little like 1518 00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:03,920 pieces of my racism started just falling 1519 00:59:07,060 --> 00:59:05,570 away as I became more and more 1520 00:59:07,750 --> 00:59:07,070 attractive as people with different 1521 00:59:10,530 --> 00:59:07,760 reason um 1522 00:59:13,570 --> 00:59:10,540 I can run track to everybody and I mean 1523 00:59:15,520 -->

person and they're much 1529 00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:26,570 more present for me as people so a lot 1530 00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:28,730 of just my thumb [\h__\h] went away by 1531 00:59:35,410 --> 00:59:31,970 Ross anymore people hmm that's 1532 00:59:38,530 --> 00:59:35,420 interesting sex is a teacher that's what 1533 00:59:41,980 --> 00:59:38,540 I try to say like you know sex is a 1534 00:59:44,290 --> 00:59:41,990 mystery and by that I mean you'll always 1535 00:59:46,450 --> 00:59:44,300 learn more from it that you can learn 1536 00:59:48,700 --> 00:59:46,460 about it it's always going to be one 1537 00:59:51,370 --> 00:59:48,710 step ahead of you so follow it 1538 00:59:53,650 --> 00:59:51,380 don't pretend you have a handle on it 1539 00:59:55,450 --> 00:59:53,660 because you do not sex is bigger than 1540 00:59:56,770 --> 00:59:55,460 you it made you it 1541 00:59:58,660 --> 00:59:56,780 always going to be ahead of you it 1542 01:00:00,970 --> 00:59:58,670 existed before you were born the moment 1543 01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:00,980 before you were created it so it's 1544 01:00:05,170 --> 01:00:02,330 always going to be one step ahead so 1545 01:00:07,270 --> 01:00:05,180 follow it to where it takes you and try 1546 01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:07,280 to understand and learn from and listen 1547 01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:07,850 to it 1548 01:00:14,140 --> 01:00:12,050 I think that's sound advice so I also 1549 01:00:15,730 --> 01:00:14,150 wanted to ask you about your courses 1550 01:00:17,650 --> 01:00:15,740 because you've done a couple of them and 1551 01:00:20,050 --> 01:00:17,660 I was reading some of the material from 1552 01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:20,060 your last one and you mentioned part of 1553 01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:22,250 the curriculum relating to uncovering 1554 01:00:26,830 --> 01:00:23,930 the hidden history of evolutionary 1555 01:00:29,350 --> 01:00:26,840 biology and showing how our current 1556 01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:29,360 ideas of selfish genes natural 1557 01:00:34,450 --> 01:00:31,730 competition and random genetic mutation 1558 01:00:37,540 --> 01:00:34,460 are really just capitalist economics in 1559 01:00:39,670 --> 01:00:37,550 disguise and that sounds provocative to 1560 01:00:42,580 --> 01:00:39,680 me man I'm always willing to paint the 1561 01:00:44,170 --> 01:00:42,590 target firmly on capitalism but let me 1562 01:00:47,740 --> 01:00:44,180 have you explain or elaborate a little 1563 01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:47,750 bit on what you mean by that yeah well I 1564 01:00:53,170 --> 01:00:51,410 mean a big part of that is just first of 1565 01:00:55,930 --> 01:00:53,180 all historically looking at the 1566 01:00:58,840 --> 01:00:55,940 reception of Darwinism and how it 1567 01:01:01,870 --> 01:00:58,850 appears in different country so in 1568 01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:01,880 Russia surprise surprise 1569 01:01:07,930 --> 01:01:05,690 Darwinism was taken up and used in this 1570 01:01:10,390 --> 01:01:07,940 current of understanding symbiosis that 1571 01:01:13,420 --> 01:01:10,400 coming together at different beams to 1572 01:01:15,850 --> 01:01:13,430 make collectives in Europe it would turn 1573 01:01:18,100 --> 01:01:15,860 into this sort of more and more selfish 1574 01:01:20,950 --> 01:01:18,110 reduction that's needed on a thing that 1575 01:01:23,620 --> 01:01:20,960 we have right now in Japan it became 1576 01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:23,630 this sort of more holistic version of 1577 01:01:28,140 --> 01:01:26,930 evolution it changes in culture and you 1578 01:01:30,340 --> 01:01:28,150 know they aren't sort of almost 1579 01:01:32,110 --> 01:01:30,350 stereotypical the way the societies have 1580 01:01:34,570 --> 01:01:32,120 been received especially the biological 1581 01:01:36,250 --> 01:01:34,580 sciences there's not a totalized version 1582 01:01:37,750 --> 01:01:36,260 of what people believe in when it comes 1583 01:01:39,820 --> 01:01:37,760 to evolution all the time just leave 1584 01:01:43,170 --> 01:01:39,830 they all accept that natural selection 1585 01:01:46,630 --> 01:01:43,180 plays a role in evolution so that is not 1586 01:01:48,310 --> 01:01:46,640 disputed but whether that is related you 1587 01:01:49,810 --> 01:01:48,320 know whether that combines itself with 1588 01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:49,820 random genetic mutation 1589 01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:53,770 Sandie OSIS laws of form and not Mattox 1590 01:01:58,330 --> 01:01:56,330 these things all play out differently 1591 01:02:01,270 --> 01:01:58,340 from culture to culture what receives 1592 01:02:03,910 --> 01:02:01,280 the emphasis and the understanding so I 1593 01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:03,920 think it's important to note that of 1594 01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:05,930 course the Western countries that have 1595 01:02:10,450 --> 01:02:07,970 capitalist economic system 1596 01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:10,460 one that promote something called a 1597 01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:13,250 selfish gene which works by trying to 1598 01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:15,770 preserve itself through a sort of weird 1599 01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:17,810 anthropomorphized 1600 01:02:22,030 --> 01:02:20,690 cost-benefit analysis and you can look 1601 01:02:24,430 --> 01:02:22,040 at these things I mean it's a pretty 1602 01:02:28,770 --> 01:02:24,440 obvious when you start comparing how 1603 01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:28,780 that framework of genetic evolution 1604 01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:31,490 overlays and speciation overlays with 1605 01:02:38,109 --> 01:02:34,130 the economic system so I think it's up 1606 01:02:40,750 --> 01:02:38,119 to us to decide which version of 1607 01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:40,760 evolution we think is best upheld by the 1608 01:02:47,290 --> 01:02:44,090 evidence I think and partially because I 1609 01:02:49,570 --> 01:02:47,300 studied with when margulies who was Dean 1610 01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:49,580 sort of leading researcher in symbiosis 1611 01:02:55,900 --> 01:02:53,090 and she developed a system of evolution 1612 01:02:59,410 --> 01:02:55,910 based on and speciation based on 1613 01:03:01,300 --> 01:02:59,420 symbiosis I tend to believe that the 1614 01:03:03,250 --> 01:03:01,310 evidence is stronger for the factor of 1615 01:03:05,650 --> 01:03:03,260 symbiosis when random genetic mutation 1616 01:03:07,839 --> 01:03:05,660 which i think is probably not so 1617 01:03:11,220 --> 01:03:07,849 important as important as we think it is 1618 01:03:14,050 --> 01:03:11,230 when the genetic mutation probably has 1619 01:03:16,890 --> 01:03:14,060 resulted in some speciation but it's 1620 01:03:19,599 --> 01:03:16,900 more likely in my idea to be related to 1621 01:03:20,890 --> 01:03:19,609 adaptation I think that you combine 1622 01:03:23,410 --> 01:03:20,900 these thing together I think Lin 1623 01:03:24,730 --> 01:03:23,420 probably overemphasize symbiosis because 1624 01:03:26,230 --> 01:03:24,740 that was her shtick you know that was 1625 01:03:29,470 --> 01:03:26,240 her understanding of evolution but you 1626 01:03:31,750 --> 01:03:29,480 add in things like laws of form there's 1627 01:03:34,780 --> 01:03:31,760 a really interesting evolutionary worked 1628 01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:34,790 up being done in Germany by people who 1629 01:03:38,859 --> 01:03:37,130 have taken up gorgeous form of science 1630 01:03:40,930 --> 01:03:38,869 and who are interested in Rudolf Steiner 1631 01:03:42,579 --> 01:03:40,940 but may not even really be that 1632 01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:42,589 interested and there's a guy named Brian 1633 01:03:47,079 --> 01:03:44,930 Goodwin who did all this stuff that's 1634 01:03:49,359 --> 01:03:47,089 kind of similar to it but brings in a 1635 01:03:51,460 --> 01:03:49,369 lot of mathematics there's a book called 1636 01:03:54,550 --> 01:03:51,470 evolution in four dimensions that 1637 01:03:57,520 --> 01:03:54,560 explores how the different versions of 1638 01:04:00,010 --> 01:03:57,530 evolution intersect to create mutation 1639 01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:00,020 and there is of course Bruce Lipton who 1640 01:04:05,530 --> 01:04:02,450 you've had on he talks about them how 1641 01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:05,540 certain thoughts begin to interact with 1642 01:04:12,839 --> 01:04:10,730 with laws of form and morphology and not 1643 01:04:15,250 --> 01:04:12,849 only that we have a resurgence of 1644 01:04:18,790 --> 01:04:15,260 understanding that Lamarck who is the 1645 01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:18,800 sort of dismissed laughed at biologist 1646 01:04:23,270 --> 01:04:21,450 his theories where the 1647 01:04:25,700 --> 01:04:23,280 passing down of acquired characteristics 1648 01:04:27,950 --> 01:04:25,710 actually might have some weight and 1649 01:04:30,940 --> 01:04:27,960 validity to them we definitely thought 1650 01:04:33,349 --> 01:04:30,950 an amoeba for instance there was a 1651 01:04:36,410 --> 01:04:33,359 scientist who had this sort of tray of 1652 01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:36,420 amoeba in his lab and they all became 1653 01:04:40,819 --> 01:04:39,210 infected and instead of throwing those 1654 01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:40,829 in either way which is what everybody 1655 01:04:43,550 --> 01:04:42,210 else would have done he decided to keep 1656 01:04:46,819 --> 01:04:43,560 them and study them and what he 1657 01:04:48,430 --> 01:04:46,829 discovered was if he pulled he pulled 1658 01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:48,440 the infecting organism out of the 1659 01:04:52,550 --> 01:04:50,970 immediate that he had they would die but 1660 01:04:56,810 --> 01:04:52,560 if he left it and they would live right 1661 01:04:59,329 --> 01:04:56,820 and so that one version of symbiosis 1662 01:05:01,880 --> 01:04:59,339 happening in the lab but there's another 1663 01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:01,890 version that relates to the mark a 1664 01:05:07,819 --> 01:05:04,890 little more directly where if you took 1665 01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:07,829 out the cilia of this certain organism 1666 01:05:12,530 --> 01:05:10,130 and reinserted them in backwards 1667 01:05:14,839 --> 01:05:12,540 eventually those organisms would start 1668 01:05:16,730 --> 01:05:14,849 producing quote-unquote offspring that 1669 01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:16,740 have it sort of backwards cilia so that 1670 01:05:20,839 --> 01:05:18,810 shows that what Mark was probably 1671 01:05:22,130 --> 01:05:20,849 correct and then combine that with the 1672 01:05:24,950 --> 01:05:22,140 amoeba thing and you see how that could 1673 01:05:26,809 --> 01:05:24,960 be happening in symbiosis as well so I 1674 01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:26,819 think there's a lot of like good 1675 01:05:30,730 --> 01:05:29,010 evidence for other versions of evolution 1676 01:05:33,050 --> 01:05:30,740 happening that have been observed in 1677 01:05:36,530 --> 01:05:33,060 laboratories but it's just because they 1678 01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:36,540 happen with either bacteria or Peart 1679 01:05:41,059 --> 01:05:38,970 octaves also known as protozoa that we 1680 01:05:42,950 --> 01:05:41,069 dismiss it because people like Richard 1681 01:05:46,099 --> 01:05:42,960 Dawkins only know that animals which is 1682 01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:46,109 of course not most at most organisms are 1683 01:05:50,329 --> 01:05:48,210 not that the other businesses the most 1684 01:05:53,569 --> 01:05:50,339 composite organisms on the front are not 1685 01:05:55,910 --> 01:05:53,579 animal they're bacteria and so you know 1686 01:05:58,190 --> 01:05:55,920 for him to sort of claim that all 1687 01:05:59,690 --> 01:05:58,200 evolution works on this level you know 1688 01:06:01,819 --> 01:05:59,700 that we understand that he understands 1689 01:06:03,770 --> 01:06:01,829 as many things are both preposterous to 1690 01:06:05,450 --> 01:06:03,780 me and I know he he's gone to different 1691 01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:05,460 lengths in other books I don't just pick 1692 01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:08,730 on him he's actually my sort of out of 1693 01:06:12,620 --> 01:06:10,890 my all the sort of new atheist 1694 01:06:14,210 --> 01:06:12,630 scientists kind of people that are like 1695 01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:14,220 my least favorite people in the world 1696 01:06:18,589 --> 01:06:16,770 he's my least least favorite she said I 1697 01:06:20,359 --> 01:06:18,599 like that I like him the most out of all 1698 01:06:22,910 --> 01:06:20,369 the people that I don't like but I do 1699 01:06:24,620 --> 01:06:22,920 think that sort of group of people that 1700 01:06:27,170 --> 01:06:24,630 promote neo-darwinism which is just 1701 01:06:27,980 --> 01:06:27,180 natural selection meets random genetic 1702 01:06:31,930 --> 01:06:27,990 mutation 1703 01:06:34,270 --> 01:06:31,940 those are outdated and it just they need 1704 01:06:36,010 --> 01:06:34,280 they need to catch up and who 1705 01:06:37,540 --> 01:06:36,020 today I'm a lay person although I did 1706 01:06:39,610 --> 01:06:37,550 study something science in grad school 1707 01:06:41,170 --> 01:06:39,620 for three years so I could talk about 1708 01:06:42,580 --> 01:06:41,180 these things with some sense of 1709 01:06:45,340 --> 01:06:42,590 authority or knowledge of what I was 1710 01:06:47,650 --> 01:06:45,350 talking whether you're right there's so 1711 01:06:49,090 --> 01:06:47,660 many interesting studies going on in the 1712 01:06:51,220 --> 01:06:49,100 world of genes and the world of 1713 01:06:53,710 --> 01:06:51,230 consciousness and things are turning out 1714 01:06:55,540 --> 01:06:53,720 differently than we have been led to 1715 01:06:58,110 --> 01:06:55,550 believe they would and I'm right there 1716 01:07:01,960 --> 01:06:58,120 with you in terms of The Selfish Gene 1717 01:07:04,510 --> 01:07:01,970 idea because I very much look at 1718 01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:04,520 incentives and try to think about what 1719 01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:07,250 is natural versus what is a product of 1720 01:07:10,990 --> 01:07:09,530 our environment and it's really hard to 1721 01:07:13,030 --> 01:07:11,000 extrapolate that out when the only 1722 01:07:15,550 --> 01:07:13,040 environment you've ever known is super 1723 01:07:16,900 --> 01:07:15,560 aggressive capitalist economics you got 1724 01:07:19,090 --> 01:07:16,910 to go look at other areas of the world 1725 01:07:21,460 --> 01:07:19,100 and we do and we find some interesting 1726 01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:21,470 things I don't think if you look at some 1727 01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:23,930 isolated pockets of indigenous cultures 1728 01:07:28,660 --> 01:07:26,330 that they run on a principle of 1729 01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:28,670 selfishness they just don't they'd all 1730 01:07:34,090 --> 01:07:31,370 die so they definitely come together and 1731 01:07:37,810 --> 01:07:34,100 I think it is a real convenient thing 1732 01:07:39,970 --> 01:07:37,820 for capitalists to say like oh well yeah 1733 01:07:42,670 --> 01:07:39,980 we got this greed problem in our system 1734 01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:42,680 but it's inborn it's been grained into 1735 01:07:47,380 --> 01:07:45,410 us it's a gene you know it's not a it's 1736 01:07:49,690 --> 01:07:47,390 not some kind of outpouring from our 1737 01:07:53,050 --> 01:07:49,700 artificial system that incentivizes 1738 01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:53,060 greed now it's natural and yeah I agree 1739 01:07:58,000 --> 01:07:55,610 with you that I think that's wrong I 1740 01:08:01,000 --> 01:07:58,010 just I just do and it's a recapitulation 1741 01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:01,010 in that case of just original sin right 1742 01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:02,930 because Richard Dawkins writes about 1743 01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:05,170 while we can transcend our genetic 1744 01:08:10,330 --> 01:08:07,730 predispositions and and be nice to each 1745 01:08:12,430 --> 01:08:10,340 other well okay so we're all sinners but 1746 01:08:15,190 --> 01:08:12,440 we can transcend that by confessing 1747 01:08:17,020 --> 01:08:15,200 there in a likely be they're like 1748 01:08:18,910 --> 01:08:17,030 seeking forgiveness or finding Christ 1749 01:08:22,660 --> 01:08:18,920 and get out of the sin it's like it's a 1750 01:08:26,289 --> 01:08:22,670 same narrative and I just think it's you 1751 01:08:27,970 --> 01:08:26,299 know he's done a lot he why why I'm sort 1752 01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:27,980 of like hesitating a little bit it's 1753 01:08:33,370 --> 01:08:31,250 he's done a lot to confront the views 1754 01:08:36,309 --> 01:08:33,380 that should be thrown his opinion and he 1755 01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:36,319 should know better but he holds on to 1756 01:08:39,730 --> 01:08:37,850 the same opinion again again again and 1757 01:08:41,590 --> 01:08:39,740 it's not because it's scientifically 1758 01:08:43,420 --> 01:08:41,600 valid anymore it's just not I mean I 1759 01:08:44,860 --> 01:08:43,430 don't know that most biologists even 1760 01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:44,870 take in more people like Jerry Coyne 1761 01:08:48,410 --> 01:08:46,970 seriously anymore I think a lot of them 1762 01:08:51,169 --> 01:08:48,420 a lot of evolution 1763 01:08:52,700 --> 01:08:51,179 just have just moved on and just oh my 1764 01:08:55,579 --> 01:08:52,710 god I guess if you guys just want to 1765 01:08:57,260 --> 01:08:55,589 present that picture there's some 1766 01:08:59,059 --> 01:08:57,270 overlap with what we believe in so go 1767 01:09:00,740 --> 01:08:59,069 ahead and it's not creationism so I 1768 01:09:03,079 --> 01:09:00,750 guess just go for it you know but I 1769 01:09:04,789 --> 01:09:03,089 don't think it's even necessarily widely 1770 01:09:07,130 --> 01:09:04,799 believed in a more a lot of these other 1771 01:09:09,410 --> 01:09:07,140 things are accepted scientific fact at 1772 01:09:10,849 --> 01:09:09,420 this point so right now we're passing 1773 01:09:13,090 --> 01:09:10,859 them up and it is just a weird 1774 01:09:16,309 --> 01:09:13,100 psychological thing that people love to 1775 01:09:18,169 --> 01:09:16,319 take a perspective and then make that 1776 01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:18,179 their identity and then once they've 1777 01:09:22,039 --> 01:09:19,770 done that once they've accepted the 1778 01:09:23,930 --> 01:09:22,049 label it becomes very hard for them to 1779 01:09:25,519 --> 01:09:23,940 pivot when they maybe change their 1780 01:09:27,289 --> 01:09:25,529 opinion or confronted with new 1781 01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:27,299 information I mean I've been through the 1782 01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:28,290 wringer with the things I've 1783 01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:30,210 self-identified as and I've learned to 1784 01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:31,770 stop doing that because it's going to 1785 01:09:37,220 --> 01:09:35,250 change right and I think that yeah I 1786 01:09:40,010 --> 01:09:37,230 mean some of those guys they're just so 1787 01:09:44,030 --> 01:09:40,020 rigid that they're not responding to new 1788 01:09:45,890 --> 01:09:44,040 information yeah I mean it's they're 1789 01:09:48,260 --> 01:09:45,900 rigid because they're lively because 1790 01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:48,270 they become rich you know based on their 1791 01:09:51,620 --> 01:09:50,250 feet this today like they're not going 1792 01:09:53,269 --> 01:09:51,630 to give that up you know it's how they 1793 01:09:54,860 --> 01:09:53,279 make their money although you know they 1794 01:09:57,530 --> 01:09:54,870 could continue to make money by sort of 1795 01:09:59,060 --> 01:09:57,540 rolling with it but you know they they 1796 01:10:02,060 --> 01:09:59,070 plant a stake in the ground and I think 1797 01:10:03,979 --> 01:10:02,070 that's when they become charismatic 1798 01:10:06,979 --> 01:10:03,989 gurus instead of scientists you know 1799 01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:06,989 it's like men live up to the standard 1800 01:10:11,450 --> 01:10:09,449 which you demand of others and you will 1801 01:10:13,189 --> 01:10:11,460 come across new information that alters 1802 01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:13,199 your view that alters a thing to say in 1803 01:10:17,390 --> 01:10:15,449 significant structural ways and not just 1804 01:10:19,010 --> 01:10:17,400 be sort of like little ways here and 1805 01:10:20,930 --> 01:10:19,020 there from book to book that you change 1806 01:10:23,180 --> 01:10:20,940 you know maybe you're not going to make 1807 01:10:25,550 --> 01:10:23,190 as much money it used to make but you 1808 01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:25,560 will be making the world a better place 1809 01:10:29,900 --> 01:10:27,449 you'll be advancing the thing that you 1810 01:10:32,660 --> 01:10:29,910 claim to passionately care about and not 1811 01:10:34,970 --> 01:10:32,670 give fuel to the religious 1812 01:10:38,180 --> 01:10:34,980 fundamentalists who after all are very 1813 01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:38,190 often just picking on a very real flaws 1814 01:10:42,500 --> 01:10:40,050 in the narrative of evolution that you 1815 01:10:44,810 --> 01:10:42,510 presented their solutions and their 1816 01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:44,820 ideas of what's going on are wrong and 1817 01:10:50,150 --> 01:10:47,010 stupid but their critiques are actually 1818 01:10:52,070 --> 01:10:50,160 very often correct so it's like you're 1819 01:10:53,959 --> 01:10:52,080 giving them fuel to sound smarter 1820 01:10:57,620 --> 01:10:53,969 because you're not shoring up the 1821 01:11:01,130 --> 01:10:57,630 problems with your theory yeah and 1822 01:11:02,270 --> 01:11:01,140 that's well said too and man this has 1823 01:11:04,340 --> 01:11:02,280 been a fun ride 1824 01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:04,350 now we're starting to wind down here but 1825 01:11:09,020 --> 01:11:06,690 I'm all about extracting insight from 1826 01:11:10,310 --> 01:11:09,030 people had much different experiences 1827 01:11:12,230 --> 01:11:10,320 than me so I think this is all 1828 01:11:14,450 --> 01:11:12,240 interesting and again you've got this 1829 01:11:17,060 --> 01:11:14,460 event coming up on July 8th with Gordon 1830 01:11:19,460 --> 01:11:17,070 white in the City of Angels that centers 1831 01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:19,470 around why the occult matters now more 1832 01:11:21,500 --> 01:11:20,010 than ever 1833 01:11:23,150 --> 01:11:21,510 can you give us some insight into that 1834 01:11:24,620 --> 01:11:23,160 question or the things that you're going 1835 01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:24,630 to be talking about why does the occult 1836 01:11:29,570 --> 01:11:27,690 matter now more than ever so the reason 1837 01:11:32,060 --> 01:11:29,580 why the occult matters now more than 1838 01:11:34,550 --> 01:11:32,070 ever isn't because the occult is somehow 1839 01:11:37,130 --> 01:11:34,560 better than it ever was although I do 1840 01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:37,140 think it's improving with development 1841 01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:40,050 and research however we're in a time 1842 01:11:44,180 --> 01:11:42,570 where people's worldviews are falling 1843 01:11:47,030 --> 01:11:44,190 apart left and right for a lot of 1844 01:11:49,250 --> 01:11:47,040 reasons or political expectations there 1845 01:11:52,010 --> 01:11:49,260 were expectations of materialism to 1846 01:11:54,410 --> 01:11:52,020 produce certain results and both of 1847 01:11:58,490 --> 01:11:54,420 those things have you know sort of been 1848 01:12:00,460 --> 01:11:58,500 pulled away from the stage there's lots 1849 01:12:03,290 --> 01:12:00,470 of things that are changing in the world 1850 01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:03,300 related to technology related to 1851 01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:05,250 relationships related to our 1852 01:12:10,700 --> 01:12:07,410 understanding even the basic things like 1853 01:12:12,500 --> 01:12:10,710 time space new cult has always try to 1854 01:12:15,740 --> 01:12:12,510 approach these things with a sense of 1855 01:12:17,660 --> 01:12:15,750 seriousness and have been in development 1856 01:12:19,940 --> 01:12:17,670 for hundreds of years and it's just sort 1857 01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:19,950 of waiting for its moment and I think 1858 01:12:24,470 --> 01:12:21,930 now of that moment I think now when 1859 01:12:26,780 --> 01:12:24,480 people are finding avoided in their 1860 01:12:29,300 --> 01:12:26,790 lives where their political expectations 1861 01:12:31,370 --> 01:12:29,310 relational expectations expectations of 1862 01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:31,380 how the world was supposed to go it used 1863 01:12:35,170 --> 01:12:33,570 to be I think that this is the perfect 1864 01:12:38,030 --> 01:12:35,180 moment and I think that the occult 1865 01:12:39,890 --> 01:12:38,040 addresses individuality on a level that 1866 01:12:42,730 --> 01:12:39,900 other systems don't so we don't have to 1867 01:12:45,890 --> 01:12:42,740 be absorbed into some amorphous 1868 01:12:48,590 --> 01:12:45,900 collective economic identity I think 1869 01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:48,600 that it allows people to feel empowered 1870 01:12:56,540 --> 01:12:52,530 and truly are empowered it allows people 1871 01:12:58,400 --> 01:12:56,550 to approach the world spiritually as 1872 01:13:00,380 --> 01:12:58,410 well as practically I think there's a 1873 01:13:03,050 --> 01:13:00,390 lot going on for the occult in this 1874 01:13:06,470 --> 01:13:03,060 moment and that doesn't mean the vehicle 1875 01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:06,480 is going to be some great perfect system 1876 01:13:10,910 --> 01:13:08,250 that heals everything it makes the world 1877 01:13:12,530 --> 01:13:10,920 a beautiful perfect place it's not it 1878 01:13:14,750 --> 01:13:12,540 has its own problems and we're going to 1879 01:13:15,410 --> 01:13:14,760 discover what those problems are more 1880 01:13:17,390 --> 01:13:15,420 and more people 1881 01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:17,400 get involved in it and some of those 1882 01:13:20,570 --> 01:13:19,050 problems are going to be as real and 1883 01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:20,580 drastic it's the problems that we face 1884 01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:23,130 today it's not worse however I'm sick of 1885 01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:26,130 these old problems um what new ones you 1886 01:13:32,090 --> 01:13:29,730 know some point amen yeah I mean I'm so 1887 01:13:34,070 --> 01:13:32,100 sick of the old problems too but this 1888 01:13:35,959 --> 01:13:34,080 has been a lot of fun I'm really glad we 1889 01:13:37,370 --> 01:13:35,969 could do it before we really do close it 1890 01:13:39,020 --> 01:13:37,380 out remind people where they can keep 1891 01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:39,030 tabs on you and what else you got going 1892 01:13:43,939 --> 01:13:41,130 on and of course this new show against 1893 01:13:47,180 --> 01:13:43,949 everyone

fighting the good fight 1934 01:15:33,710 --> 01:15:33,330 right on man and congratulations on your 1935 01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:33,720 wedding 1936 01:15:40,340 --> 01:15:36,570 do you know me never guessed it ha ha ha 1937 01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:40,350 ha all right Thank You Man all right 1938 01:15:47,540 --> 01:15:44,130 take care there it is people Connor 1939 01:15:50,300 --> 01:15:47,550 Habib our first porn star on the podcast 1940 01:15:52,580 --> 01:15:50,310 all right I'm already bracing for impact 1941 01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:52,590 on a few of the things he said but I 1942 01:15:57,350 --> 01:15:54,810 still think there is a lot of agreement 1943 01:15:59,570 --> 01:15:57,360 with him on especially his point about 1944 01:16:01,490 --> 01:15:59,580 needing to have open conversations about 1945 01:16:03,380 --> 01:16:01,500 sex so that we can actually get to a 1946 01:16:05,750 --> 01:16:03,390 point where we can have a conversation 1947 01:16:08,870 --> 01:16:05,760 about the darkness that exists that a 1948 01:16:10,580 --> 01:16:08,880 lot of people often can't talk about we 1949 01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:10,590 might be able to but we get a widen that 1950 01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:13,290 sphere and you can see how there might 1951 01:16:17,810 --> 01:16:15,330 be a connection here right I definitely 1952 01:16:19,700 --> 01:16:17,820 can and things have obviously gotten a 1953 01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:19,710 lot better since the day of chastity 1954 01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:21,570 belts and selling your daughter for a 1955 01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:24,210 milk cow but I can see why Connor thinks 1956 01:16:28,580 --> 01:16:26,610 we have a long way to go too although 1957 01:16:30,260 --> 01:16:28,590 our culture is kind of backwards and 1958 01:16:31,370 --> 01:16:30,270 there's definitely a lot of judgment 1959 01:16:34,250 --> 01:16:31,380 which you're never going to be able to 1960 01:16:36,440 --> 01:16:34,260 control I don't know what a person could 1961 01:16:38,260 --> 01:16:36,450 want to do sexually that they can't do 1962 01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:38,270 today or at least see on the internet 1963 01:16:42,830 --> 01:16:40,770 but I suppose we should probably bring 1964 01:16:45,230 --> 01:16:42,840 it out of the shadows and stop thinking 1965 01:16:47,930 --> 01:16:45,240 of it as such a dirty thing overall it's 1966 01:16:49,850 --> 01:16:47,940 just skin and I can hear the clasping of 1967 01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:49,860 pearls right now but honestly look at 1968 01:16:54,860 --> 01:16:52,650 some ancient Egyptian or Greek artwork 1969 01:16:57,260 --> 01:16:54,870 and makes you think like are we really 1970 01:16:59,780 --> 01:16:57,270 less sophisticated in dealing with sex 1971 01:17:02,300 --> 01:16:59,790 than people were centuries ago that's 1972 01:17:05,090 --> 01:17:02,310 weird and if you've seen a movie like 1973 01:17:08,740 --> 01:17:05,100 equilibrium one of my favorite dystopian 1974 01:17:10,730 --> 01:17:08,750 films then you know that in a true 1975 01:17:14,420 --> 01:17:10,740 totalitarian regime you're going to have 1976 01:17:16,790 --> 01:17:14,430 a crackdown on art on anything that 1977 01:17:19,730 --> 01:17:16,800 invokes emotion or passion and of course 1978 01:17:21,710 --> 01:17:19,740 sex if you've seen a show like the 1979 01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:21,720 handmaidens tale which has a terrible 1980 01:17:27,110 --> 01:17:24,090 name but is one of my favorite shows out 1981 01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:27,120 right now it's all about the oppression 1982 01:17:34,070 --> 01:17:31,890 and sexual weirdness in a 1984 dystopia 1983 01:17:36,530 --> 01:17:34,080 type environment it's great you should 1984 01:17:38,510 --> 01:17:36,540 definitely check it out and let those 1985 01:17:39,890 --> 01:17:38,520 things be your guide if you think parts 1986 01:17:41,729 --> 01:17:39,900 of this conversation might have been a 1987 01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:41,739 little extreme 1988 01:17:45,750 --> 01:17:43,330 encounter said that I did really like 1989 01:17:47,940 --> 01:17:45,760 was that no one has a right to violate a 1990 01:17:50,250 --> 01:17:47,950 person boundaries but we also have a 1991 01:17:52,890 --> 01:17:50,260 responsibility to investigate our own 1992 01:17:54,870 --> 01:17:52,900 and I think that's very well said and I 1993 01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:54,880 agree because I got in a lot of trouble 1994 01:17:58,229 --> 01:17:56,290 when I was younger and I got kicked out 1995 01:18:00,060 --> 01:17:58,239 of the private school I went to with the 1996 01:18:01,950 --> 01:18:00,070 friends I had essentially since 1997 01:18:05,070 --> 01:18:01,960 kindergarten so it wasn't a pleasant 1998 01:18:07,709 --> 01:18:05,080 experience to be thrust into the local 1999 01:18:08,970 --> 01:18:07,719 public school my senior year but it 2000 01:18:10,950 --> 01:18:08,980 ended up working out great and I 2001 01:18:13,500 --> 01:18:10,960 actually had positive relationships with 2002 01:18:16,229 --> 01:18:13,510 the teachers and staff that allowed me 2003 01:18:17,790 --> 01:18:16,239 to actually amp up my class clown stuff 2004 01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:17,800 and the ridiculous 2005 01:18:22,050 --> 01:18:19,930 things I would do for attention for 2006 01:18:24,870 --> 01:18:22,060 better or worse the very stuff that got 2007 01:18:26,459 --> 01:18:24,880 me kicked out of private school and some 2008 01:18:28,950 --> 01:18:26,469 of the teachers here were just actually 2009 01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:28,960 entertained by it because I guess public 2010 01:18:34,110 --> 01:18:31,570 schools have real problems they know who 2011 01:18:36,150 --> 01:18:34,120 the real troubled kids are and because 2012 01:18:38,910 --> 01:18:36,160 it was a different set of boundaries I 2013 01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:38,920 actually found that I wasn't that bad of 2014 01:18:44,070 --> 01:18:41,050 a guy and I could actually have a lot of 2015 01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:44,080 fun express myself as eccentrically as I 2016 01:18:48,180 --> 01:18:46,570 felt I needed at the time and it was all 2017 01:18:51,990 --> 01:18:48,190 still pretty much within what was 2018 01:18:54,360 --> 01:18:52,000 acceptable and that was a real wou type 2019 01:18:55,709 --> 01:18:54,370 a moment and then I ended up driving a 2020 01:18:57,270 --> 01:18:55,719 bunch of guys down to the school that 2021 01:18:59,520 --> 01:18:57,280 kicked me out and we held signs up that 2022 01:19:01,860 --> 01:18:59,530 said st. Pius into prison and Fox's a 2023 01:19:03,930 --> 01:19:01,870 daycare as the parents picked up kids 2024 01:19:06,810 --> 01:19:03,940 and everyone was leaving and that was 2025 01:19:10,380 --> 01:19:06,820 embarrassing for the school not for me 2026 01:19:12,630 --> 01:19:10,390 but yes I think people can be dicks and 2027 01:19:15,209 --> 01:19:12,640 press our buttons or do something we're 2028 01:19:18,060 --> 01:19:15,219 affected by but if nobody has seriously 2029 01:19:20,310 --> 01:19:18,070 hurt the best solution is always just to 2030 01:19:21,770 --> 01:19:20,320 shrug your shoulders and move on when 2031 01:19:24,330 --> 01:19:21,780 you see something you don't like 2032 01:19:26,220 --> 01:19:24,340 developing a thicker skin is really just 2033 01:19:28,260 --> 01:19:26,230 a win win last things are going to 2034 01:19:30,630 --> 01:19:28,270 bother you unless people have to be 2035 01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:30,640 punished for bothering you I don't know 2036 01:19:35,070 --> 01:19:33,489 what I'm talking about but it was fun to 2037 01:19:37,770 --> 01:19:35,080 have a conversation with someone who's 2038 01:19:41,010 --> 01:19:37,780 had such an interesting career even if 2039 01:19:43,950 --> 01:19:41,020 we agree to disagree in some areas and 2040 01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:43,960 do check out Conner and Gordon's event 2041 01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:46,090 in LA if you can I'm going to try to 2042 01:19:50,370 --> 01:19:48,610 come but you're more likely to see me if 2043 01:19:53,190 --> 01:19:50,380 you're going to be at Gordon's premium 2044 01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:53,200 number drinking meetup I don't really 2045 01:19:55,530 --> 01:19:55,090 know anything about it except it's a few 2046 01:19:57,710 --> 01:19:55,540 days 2047 01:20:00,420 --> 01:19:57,720 earlier which works much better for me 2048 01:20:02,370 --> 01:20:00,430 so in the plus show today it's pretty 2049 01:20:04,230 --> 01:20:02,380 great in fact I almost wish the two 2050 01:20:07,890 --> 01:20:04,240 hours were flipped because the second 2051 01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:07,900 hour is way more THC like we got into 2052 01:20:12,810 --> 01:20:10,090 Connors experiences and thoughts about 2053 01:20:15,390 --> 01:20:12,820 the occult outside of the sexual sphere 2054 01:20:17,940 --> 01:20:15,400 Connor described what has been a useful 2055 01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:17,950 meditation exercise and his experience 2056 01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:20,290 for improving your mental visualisation 2057 01:20:25,710 --> 01:20:23,010 abilities we went into the cliffnotes of 2058 01:20:27,090 --> 01:20:25,720 Rudolf Steiners biography and the 2059 01:20:29,760 --> 01:20:27,100 details of his intriguing 2060 01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:29,770 accomplishments Steiners influence and 2061 01:20:33,990 --> 01:20:31,570 Waldorf schools and the type of 2062 01:20:35,790 --> 01:20:34,000 alternative education they offer from 2063 01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:35,800 the industrialist crafted Prussian 2064 01:20:41,070 --> 01:20:38,410 control system we have now we got into 2065 01:20:43,950 --> 01:20:41,080 Steiners anthropology philosophy and how 2066 01:20:45,750 --> 01:20:43,960 and why it split from theosophy gotten 2067 01:20:47,610 --> 01:20:45,760 to the ideas of the spirit world the 2068 01:20:50,370 --> 01:20:47,620 concept of the two spiritual beings 2069 01:20:52,890 --> 01:20:50,380 Ahriman and Lucifer the value and 2070 01:20:54,750 --> 01:20:52,900 pitfalls of conspiracy culture sex 2071 01:20:56,880 --> 01:20:54,760 radicals of history and their impact 2072 01:20:59,700 --> 01:20:56,890 people like Wilhelm Reich and Ida 2073 01:21:01,800 --> 01:20:59,710 Craddock pornography heads place in the 2074 01:21:03,870 --> 01:21:01,810 world and then of course my good buddy 2075 01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:03,880 Kyle he had a couple of occult questions 2076 01:21:08,310 --> 01:21:05,890 for Connor that I thought were also 2077 01:21:10,890 --> 01:21:08,320 interesting so it was more about history 2078 01:21:12,660 --> 01:21:10,900 and information about fringe people and 2079 01:21:15,480 --> 01:21:12,670 their ideas you know that's always a 2080 01:21:17,940 --> 01:21:15,490 sweet spot for me and as far as higher 2081 01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:17,950 side news goes I finally worked out all 2082 01:21:22,020 -->
