Hey everyone and welcome to Knower's Cove. I'm Yoshida and today we are doing our January budget, long time no see. So if a budget is something that your monthly budget is something that you're interested in, stay tuned. Okay you guys let's hop right on in. I've already tabbed my new monthly. These are from my shop. The link should be listed below and this is our monthly breakdown. I've already circled January.  I actually need to make me some monthly inserts but I think about it. So let's get a pen. So you guys know what I'm gonna say. It has been the last month or so. It's been a little, I can't even describe it. I bought hardly any Christmas gifts. Just everything has been kind of tight. You know that new variant has kicked in of COVID. I am actually on my last day of quarantine. Not that I tested positive but because one of my customers tested positive and she let me know the day after she came. So here I am. So I figured I used this time for good plus I forgot a couple bills last month. Had to pay some late fees so I'm trying to avoid that this month. So I don't know. So if you're new here my sources of income is hair, nail nails and Shopify which is my shop. I shut down my Etsy for a little bit. I maybe open it. I closed it because they were doing the 1099 over 600 and I was fastly approaching that. I know just pay the 1099. But anyway so this month is always a slow month for me with hair because it's after the holidays. People are paying credit cards back. So I'm gonna just guesstimate this at 2800. And also if you're new here I am self-employed in all my jobs. I have three businesses at the present time and it's always iffy. So I always go with the lower number. For nails we've been doing roughly around 2200.  I've just been charging them nothing and they just tip me. I just asked for tips because I'm just re-getting back into doing nails. But also this month for nails I am cutting back on my customers because I do work from home doing nails and I work in a salon doing hair. And with the nails I just really don't want everybody in my house. Even though I'm doing people who are vaccinated I am doing pretty much people I know. I'm a couple that was referred to me by maybe those people or family member. I'm cutting some people back. But I'm still leaving at 200 because I haven't decided on the prices yet. Shopify I really don't know. I am running a sale now. I'll leave the code here for the sale. It doesn't have an end date right now. I'm just trying to get rid of some inventory but I'll put the code here new year 22. So I'm just going to guess to meet a hundred so far for that. So that's $3,300 for the month. Okay let's get into the juicy part. Right now I had planned to do some cash stuffing. Cash stuffing is coming back. Don't fret cash stuffing is coming back. I had saved up a couple of dollars but then when I had to go on quarantine I had to dip into that money which I was going to do my cash envelopes. So nonetheless I always start also I always start with those bills that are important to me which is card notes. I'm just going to put the whole thing instead of breaking it up like I pay it. I think it's 36381 and that's due on the 11th and the 20th. Okay we have car insurance. Something else. $206 that's due on the 28th. Okay and then on the 20th as well I have Navy Federal Credit Union loan and that's $96.11. I only owed $270 something more dollars on that. I'm trying to have it paid off by February. T-Mobile. Oh god there's different dates on this so I won't put any dates there and it's a lot. I'm just going to put $400 because I'm on a payment plan right now and that's something else I want to do this year is finally be able to pay them on time. So I'll have some new categories this month this year for my sinking funds. Okay then on the 18th we have Barclays. They should get a hundred. We have the 17th City Bank and they've been getting like 31 dollars. I think I gave them 50 last month I'm gonna give them 50. Amazon during the first they've already taken their money out and it is $1377. I'm sorry if this camera's shaking hold on. Okay I got rid of my cloth and paper as you all can see I'm going on this one over here. I got rid of my cloth and paper because I just had to free up some money. Lane Bryant has paid off. I paid all to this month and I did give them $29. Amazon's page. Let's see Victoria Secrets paid off. Walmart I've set up a payment and that is $28 right now. I'm paying basically the minimum or most of my credit cards just so I can kind of get caught up if that makes sense. Canva I have the 7th down here and that's also $1377. Okay Insta Inc I believe that comes out on the 20th and that is $19.99 and Apple Altogether it is like $13 and Booth Rent. So Booth Rent has gone up. I was paying 8. It's like $900 a month now. Wayfair. Now Wayfair I need to pay off by the 20th or 25th of this month and it's like $200 and something. So I'm going to put $250. I don't know how I'm going to do that but and then Shopify. I haven't sold anything yet. If I sell anything we're going to put it at $34. Okay because that may just go on and use pirate ship for shipping and then we have Community Bank. I always forget about them which I have just paid and they were think $30. No I don't actually owe anything for Community Bank this month. I looked because I had a late payment last month and so I just doubled it and I thought I was paying the late fee but they showed that I don't owe anything for this month but it would normally be 29. I'm going to double check make sure I think that's it because we got rid of cloth and paper so you can see I freed up a lot of this space. Let me show you. I was running out of space on this one and this one is from August. These are all the things that I pay but I've gotten rid of two credit cards and a subscription. So now will I ever get get another subscription to cloth and paper? More likely yes but right now it's just not in the plan. So let's do a little math. And what I'm going to work on today is creating a monthly insert. It's snowing here so that's what I think I'm going to do. So let's do a little math. Okay as you see I have $2,517.45 in bills and I will be barely making it. $2,517.45. So this is my total. I'm going to subtract it from the $3,100. That is my January budget. As things change I will be doing my...


Hello internet, I'm Dave and we're currently in Helmont, the Netherlands in my workspace, where I work. And this is where our projects are being developed. Sometimes we make machines so people can start recycling plastic all over the world. Or I come up with a future module of phone vision to reduce e-waste. Every now and then I make a video of something that I learned or experimented. I also like to do research hands-on from landfills in Ghana to the slums in India. Now this stuff might look pretty random, but they have one thing in common. They always try to tackle a problem. And I share everything I do open source online for free. I truly believe this is the most effective, powerful and honest way to deliver an idea to the world. And over the years I got invited to talk about these projects from South Africa to Brazil. They won some awards and they are exhibited in museums all over the world. However, as a downside, I don't make any money out of it. Now I'm aware this isn't really the usual way of working. And in order to keep this up, I had to organize my life as simple as possible. And this also means doing a lot of stuff myself. From coding websites to welding the machines, doing the graphic design, helping in our online community, writing storyboards, shooting videos, editing, answering mails, hundreds of mails. I've been working like this for over four years now. And meanwhile, also people from all over the world in our community helped out. And it worked great and I love it. I still love it. However, my projects tend to get bigger than what one Dutch guy can manage on his own. I'm now at a point where my project is going to grow, but I don't have the resources to scale them up. Now, I'm not going to get an investor on board to move forward. I want to make sure my projects stay independent, open source, and freely available for everyone on the planet. Now, this requires a completely new kind of business plan. And this is where you come in, together with this new thing called Patreon. And I'm pretty excited about this thing. See, I never found a proper way to fund these open source projects in the long run. And this thing fits perfect. It's a bit like crowdfunding, but smaller amounts on a monthly basis. And your money will be used to push these projects forward. So for instance, many more people around the world want to start recycling plastic. But to do this, we need to improve our tools, buy materials, pay rent, code a platform, and make a bigger team.  Or start working on other global problems like our food or fashion industry. For just a couple of dollars a month, all together we can make that happen. All your beautiful little tiny contributions from all over the world come together to fuel us forward. In return, you get rewards, insights, or exclusive updates. Have a look at the rewards on the side for more details. Now currently, my focus is on recycling plastic. I'm not sure what kind of projects I will do in the future. But I can guarantee they will always try to tackle a problem. Now to be honest, I will keep working like this anyway, and everything will always be online for free, whether you support it or not.  And if you don't feel like paying, totally fine. I love you anyway for supporting. Have a look at the Patreon website to help out. Thanks for watching this video, and have a good day.


so getting the egg in place reminded me of playing a phone game And was pretty boring and uncreative in a game with lots of potential for some super out-of-the-box stuff Certainly not perfect, but I'm enjoying it so far What's funny is I was fine with that puzzle. It is probably one of the very few highlights in my memory I was like that was something to solve Oh well Um You got this people already defending poor game design by labeling it a puzzle And then someone else said you can say you feel the puzzles are poorly designed, but it's quite literally a puzzle game It's also quite literally a first-person shooter. Yes Trying to find this there was a negative paragraph in here, but it has been buried on where I think it should have gone full and either I I'd rather go full in one direction or the other be a full puzzle game Or a full shooter game. Don't give me this half-assed shooter. Yeah, it's into every the you know, the occasional puzzle Just make it with like fleeing mechanics and stuff. It's just don't have any shooting going on Oh, I thought you said flame mechanics But yeah, I you're right. It mechanics would be cool to him If it was just running away from enemies, it would be better.  Who's never advertised as a puzzle game Um, it has literally wait a minute. It was never advertised as a puzzle isn't it? I mean is that puzzles on the trailers, right? If someone asked me what this was advertised as like I said as far as I knew It was going to be shooting in it and there's going to be puzzle solving in it, but I was still You don't have to guess. Uh, I'll go to the steam page. No, no The reason why the reason I say this is because my perception was it could be Equal in all parts of anything like I went in I'm getting tired of people being like you're only upset because of your expectations And I was like no, this could have been anything. It could have been full shooter full action full puzzle full any of those half any of those Because to be honest with you, you can still balance puzzles and shooting, right? Isn't that what God of War really is? Like there's way more combat, but there's loads of puzzle stuff Oh, yeah Um, there's loads of lots of things in that game, but there's loads of games this applies to uh, they break up some gameplay with other gameplay and stuff, but people keep saying It's your expectation of it being an action game, which is what bothers you about it being a puzzle game It's like no, no, no, I'm critical of the puzzles and the amount of them As for what it was advertised as I mean that doesn't actually change how good the game is That's why I want to keep switching focus back, you know Yeah, because we can have bad marketing That's fair. There was a different discussion sort of the trailer certainly shows plenty of um shooting Shooting in it. Yeah Um, the game has like no music. Look, I get wow cool puzzles. Also, I can finally progress Oh boy wouldn't have guessed another puzzle and then I see another puzzle behind that puzzle They're not hard to solve. Shit is just repetitive. The game is pretty bad right now All that has going for it is the art style, but I guess I'm missing something. Oh, that's right Where's the fun at? Isn't this a game? No angry Uh-oh Someone says and dude, do I hate this era of gaming? I think it's better to just watch a let's play of the game and enjoy the same stuff You're enjoying from this I get off work to play this game But I lost my patience with four puzzles and turned it off This they're actually saying this is better to consume as a let's play Oh my that's not um, so My feelings on let's plays are complicated. Let's call them. Let's call them nuanced. That's a safe word to use. Yeah if you watch if Like the let's play we've got on though the watch together, right this um Shirako guy playing through it. Yeah the long play two and a half hours. No commentary This is sort of the ideal way to consume the game. I don't think that Maybe I mean I mean I waver on that a little bit. There is an element of you could get some legitimate value from being in control of a character exploring this world, but Oh, um Yeah, when I May I suppose it It almost applies to scorn But if it's a super narrative heavy game and you watch a long play and get everything about the story and the characters without buying it it does start to Make me go. Hmm Should that be allowed Gameplay is transformative. I'm pretty strong in that camp. I think it would be hard to dissuade me from Well, to be honest with you rags I think if I were to take his video download it and then reupload it with my commentary that I have transformed it more than he Did and I've taken it from Probably there's a yeah, if the if the commentary was yeah, if if it was substantial commentary I think a case could certainly be made Because this isn't a game that that really owes a lot to Personalizing the I mean, yeah, our experiences were mildly different, but not in I would say a meaningful way We're fun to talk about the differences, but they were very small Like oh you cheese this enemy and I ran away from him, you know So this is one of the really downvoted ones I remember it was at the top at one point But now it's all the way at the bottom says that's not the point though The point people are making is that the puzzles are not good and neither is the level design portal is an incredibly popular puzzle game It's not that people are too stupid to play scorn It's that they can see through its bullshit game design What I've seen so far the game is less about using your head to solve puzzles and more about brute-forcing puzzles to work By trial and error that shit sucks. I wanted this game to be good more than anyone. I'm a massive geiger and Geiger and Bixinski I think that's the other artists that got the bigger influence on this fan And generally do enjoy puzzle games. This game is a bad puzzle game and that's what people have a problem with I wouldn't call it a bad puzzle game. I would call it If it depends on how you read that if you had a four-hour puzzle game and there was one good puzzle in it Is bad puzzle game the correct term? What's happening there? Um Probably because this game I'd say it has two decent puzzles in one good one Yeah, they represent a very small amount of the time though, right? And then yes, it's a very very small amount of the time if the dev said to you Um, you completed 50 puzzles in total in the game. Would you not then be like? Oh, well your puzzles are shit Yes, uh, there is an element of is a puzzle so simplistic and easy That it's only a puzzle and technicality and I won't Yeah, you're like, yeah, it's totally a puzzle You're not considering a lot of what people are probably calling bad puzzles as puzzles because you consider them just opening doors and stuff But I think that's what a lot of people think of puzzles When you're opening up the um, oh, it's a section. This guy is in here. Shirako Um, he's in the segment with the big guy that you have to the big The big man and the the big dude in the big room Yeah, and you have to lift up the three screens so to speak and then rotate it while moving the peg That is a very like I liked it, but it's a very simplistic puzzle. It's very easy to do Yeah, um, it's neat to get it, you know, it's a nice little thing And if the game was full of those I would be much kinder to this game but um Get one. Yeah calling that a puzzle is technically true, but it's like No, yeah, I agree with you. So that's the thing I would be comfortable. I'm finally calling it a bad puzzle game or a game with very limited thin puzzles that are far between Whichever gives the idea off, but it's bad mox either way Yeah, it doesn't do either either often enough or well enough when it comes to puzzle or shooter So you got another post here that says I can see how people whining about the puzzles being too difficult and complex Um, I still think that the marketing was incredibly misleading, especially the xbox store trigger warning words lots of words So they start with cohesive lived-in world As a metal mentioned earlier scorn takes place as an open-ended world with different interconnected regions Each region is a maze like structure with various rooms and paths to discover all the storytelling happens in game With no cutscenes to distract you from the grisly reality of the living breathing world You're in but keep your eyes open the game won't show you any sympathy if you miss something important to your uneasy travels So this is just market speak. This is someone who's shilling.  Yeah Yeah, this this is horseshit. It's not at all hide how I would describe and saying all the storytelling happens in game It's like I guess you can say that even when there's no storytelling It's all in game Also, there are cutscenes Um, next thing the god is full body awareness players will experience better immersion being aware of the character's body and movement Interaction with the world is realistic objects are picked up with your hands instead of just floating in mid air What what what? Okay, sure, whatever machines and instruments are operated by grabbing the controls etc. Holy sh Next inventory ammo management Your loadout is defined and limited This plays a big role in keeping the player in an even greater state of awareness throughout the whole game Players will have to think about when to fight and when to take cover and how their actions affect the world around them Different play styles will be needed to advance Different play styles will be needed to which is funny because all three of us had a different approach And they all work Yeah, there's none of them are particularly interesting like I was just like I'll just kill everything gradually right? It's like I'll just avoid everything and mostly works and I think mel you you opted for something between Yeah, yeah, sometimes it ran away. Sometimes I shot them all Um nowhere in any of all that mumbo jumbo is puzzle game or even the word puzzle mentioned The only hints to it being a puzzle game are the words maze and awareness And the awareness is very loosely tied to puzzle not to mention it has a whole dedicated section to weapons and loadouts How can someone not think this is a survival horror like alien isolation? But again about marketing I suppose so if it so if it has them it is that thing. Yeah, I I just don't know. I still know about that Another comment I mean puzzle isn't really the correct word the first puzzle is literally the sliding tile puzzle Which is the lowest form of gaming life. It's the prebiotic ooze of puzzle games Then the following I calm down The following puzzles are better described as walking around until you find the object to interact with That's the next lowest form of puzzle. Then you've got a lot worse than the sliding tile puzzle Because the second one isn't even a puzzle. That's just an immediate puzzle apparently Yeah, then you got the lockpicking mini game, which can only barely be described as puzzles It's really more of a wait until the thing can be interacted with again The issue isn't that it's it's a puzzle game. It's that the puzzles are not very much puzzles Obviously the atmosphere is excellent, but the marketing that implied it was a puzzle game is a real problem It's a walking sim that requires you to occasionally find an object with to interact with the very interesting walk But implying it was a puzzle game is misleading. It's a fairly well done walking sim A good puzzle requires you to think through make initiative intuitive connections or piece things together They must produce an aha moment Born does not have those moments. I'll say there's one or two of those when you uh You know like when sort of but they're they're all isolated to the puzzles themselves. They're only going to be in the puzzles Yeah, yeah, you're not really figuring anything out. You're walking around until you naturally stumble upon the order objects need to be interacted with It's ridiculously generous to call these puzzles Um, I think he's being too harsh. I think some of them are legitimately puzzles. I think I agree with the spirit of it It's just yeah, he's a bit hard. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Um, I find the wrinkle your brain a little bit rather pretentious Sure to your larger point. There's no problem with it being a puzzle game But other people aren't doing something wrong by having a hard time with certain puzzles Everybody approaches logical deduction differently That's okay to have different takes on the game, but can we stop insulting each other? So yeah, the subreddit has had trouble because this uh Oh soma's gotten mentioned. What's this obtuse trial and error puzzles with frequent non sequiturs are not good game design I wish it was more like soma soma would not have wasted my time playing a claw game with a red herring in the middle Just for multiple minutes to do the same action The game telegraphs that I need to do that sequence is also just so bizarre like why would this machinery Ever be designed like this and require this sort of interaction Just got me frustrated and made me stop believing in the will due to how gamey and out of touch Uh with the tone everything was Yeah, I can certainly feel that I can't agree with that. Yeah I can feel that one I mean that probably sums it up. Uh people are very angry at this game. Um people are also very happy with it And because of that, it's like fostering the other side to become more invested in pushing their side And something I saw that kind of annoyed me is um the developer for Uh he works for He was weak. Oh, so funny enough. This guy is made uh, he was behind gloomwood, which is a game I'm actually interested checking out. I've got it. I need to play it He put out a tweet saying scorn's release is a great cautionary tale that if you are making a puzzle game make damn Sure, people know it's a puzzle game because they will not appreciate being surprised by that lull Um, if it depends on the difficulty of the puzzles Um, if they're if if you are playing a game and you have pretty simple puzzles that you go through I think a lot of gamers will appreciate that breaking up the gameplay But if you buy a game that you think is an action adventure game or a first person shooter and all of a sudden You stumble into ribbon You are absolutely going to have people who are going to be rightfully upset at you Um, and yeah, someone's already shared like this is uh, this is just a cut from some of the several trailers and it's just a series of like action Mm-hmm. Yeah, absolutely I mean the first trailer on the steam. Yeah, it has plenty of action in it a lot of shooting in you And yeah, and someone's showing that they bought the deluxe edition like kills Someone bought the deluxe edition at 65 dollars Like it's damn. Oh boy. You could have got got a war Sound soundtrack an art book. I think that's it.  Oh, I imagine it's digital.   Maybe they should replay silent hill, which I thought was interesting He said that the implication of course being that Silent hill is much more puzzle focused than you realize and you should hate it as much as you hate this game If you're gonna go that far What do you have to say about that metal?  There might be a really spicy thing to say But the melee combat and specifically in silent hill is Can be infuriating for sure But no puzzles puzzles are awesome Good it's good stuff. Um, but yeah, he's uh And they're actually puzzles He seems to go quite hard in defense of the game and uh, it's it's gone to the point Where it's just like yeah, you just you didn't know you wanted to have an action game Where you kill things that are flashy and stuff and you didn't get what you wanted no again. I'm just sitting you like I just one least favorite part of the game I just wanted a video game. Um, but yeah that about sums it up Um, I doubt e-metal rags will ever talk about scorn in detail again other than quick references not likely passing reference. Yeah Uh, incredibly disappointing. I was kind of looking forward to it. I thought it would be neat But here we are. This is what we got and yeah Yeah, I not a fan wouldn't recommend This game was supposed to be the sludge ender and not a pile a little cherry on top of the sludge pile That's what it ended up being Um, yeah, anything else you guys want to say about it? Honestly, no No There was a lot of mileage that we got out of the rebirth discussion because there were There was a lot more to that game that game was trying to do a lot more there was Story and characters and they tried to tell a you know, like a narrative Um, and also it was linked to other games we played but this game seems like an isolated little disappointment Yeah, I think the the more interesting part To it's not talking about the game But probably more about the whole marketing thing and how long it took to be made And what has been promised maybe in the beginning, which I'm not familiar with but that might be More interesting to look into than into the actual game because I think we pretty much covered everything that has to offer I would go as far as saying, uh, the developers are lucky that enough people are going to defend this that it can escape being said to be um I don't know go as far as saying a scam But absolutely not with the time and investment and absolute price During what you get here's like the the geiger fanbase is so desperate for content for for this kind of thing, especially gaming content that they're like I know grasping for everything they get and then it's just like no, this is great It's like look how cool this looks and they're just and for the looks maybe I don't know just speculating I have no clue, but that's what it feels like So That's that. Thank you for listening. That is that square bonus e-fap episode as you can see no fringy because obviously he hadn't played the game This will go out As soon as possible and it'll put us ahead of the numbers again to the point where we'll have to sort something out of that but um We'll uh, we'll still see you guys on saturday if we're talking about she-hulk. That is the plan Boy Thank you all for listening folks And uh, yeah, I have a spooky wookie fun halloween. I guess Yeah, I have a spooky wookie weenie time Spooky hymer's goodbye Bye. Bye


Now, this is what Christian morality presents you with. You can dedicate yourself to God.   But that, of course, is the great false alternative. That is the alternative between hedonism and altruism and it's false. But in the 19th century, certainly in the 18th century, they didn't know it was false. They were struggling with it. They were debating it. They couldn't figure it out and even to this day, 99.9% of the people think that's the alternative in the end. Nothing wrong with pleasure. At the end, it's all about pleasure, properly in the right context. But pleasure is what builds the joy. You can't denounce pleasure. You can't reject pleasure and have joy and happiness. They go together. If you don't get pleasure from your relationships, if you don't get pleasure from your job, if you can't relax and get pleasure from the art that you see, or pleasure from, I don't know, just pleasure for the sake of pleasure sometimes. What's the point? So, but in the context of a life, but that life, you have to have the freedom to live it. You have to have a freedom to have a profession and to have a career and to pursue your interests. You have to have the freedom to fall in love and to be free to marry and not to rely on the wealth of your parents or the wealth of your cousins in order to live well, but to rely on your own ability and your own skills in order to build that life, in order to create that life.  Never mind previous centuries.  So, feminism's response, at least original feminism, modern feminism, has become nutty. Originally, the women's liberation movements, the suffragettes, were a response to a situation which was unbearable to any woman with ambition, who sexuality was rejected, treated completely different than a man's sexuality, who ambition was rejected, her mind was rejected. And the culture she lived in was a culture that did not tolerate, did not facilitate her ability to live, live life, live as a human being. So the origins of feminism, women's liberation, are this really oppressive world, really oppressive world. Now, what leads to the mitigation of this oppression? What leads to it is capitalism. Capitalism, for the first time in human history, allows people to accumulate wealth based on merit, based on the use of their own mind, based on the work that they do, not based on family relationships, not based on stealing, not based on political connections, based on work, based on production, based on their own minds. And since women have minds and can reason, it suddenly opens up a world in which women can produce wealth and create wealth. Now, that we've seen more in the 20th century, and of course in the 21st century, but the beginnings of it in the 19th century and the realization of the possibility of it is in the 19th century. Open suddenly with the enlightenment, with the recognition of reason as man's means of survival, of reason as man's means of attaining knowledge, suddenly with the emphasis on the individual rather than family, rather than church, rather than on God, suddenly with the capitalism and the industrial revolution making evident the use of reason in producing wealth. It liberated all of us, all of us as individuals, men and women, from the drudgery of just being ordinary, from the drudgery of being told what to do and how to do it from the slavery of being a surf, from the slavery sense of family, of family commitments, of family relationships, of your family telling you who you could marry and how much money you would get and where you should live and how you should live and what your profession should be. All of that falls apart during the 19th century. It disintegrates. It's a period of massive upheaval, capitalism causes this massive upheaval. There's not surprise that you get both Marxism and conservatism on the other side as a response to capitalism. The conservatives are horrified by all these changes, by all this liberation, by sex, by the disintegration, if you will, of the extended family. And the Marxists are motivated by something very similar. They're horrified by this individualism, by people pursuing their own happiness. What about community? What about the poor? What about those people over there who are not achieving as much as you're achieving? Capitalism is a massive, huge disruptor of everything. And among others, it's a massive disruptor of the role of women in society. Because now it's not about strength, it's not about muscle, that what is going to determine what we can do, what we can do, what we can produce, what we can produce. For the first time in human history, production is not dependent on muscle, but on a brain. And women have a brain, so women can produce just like men. So the beauty of capitalism, the amazing revolution that capitalism has created, it is so tragic, it is so sad, it is so despicable that we don't learn that, that we don't know that. We know lots about socialism, we know lots about labor movements, we know lots about all these things that supposedly brought good things to the world. But what brought, essentially, what brought good into the world in the last 250 years is capitalist. What liberated, what liberated the slaves, what liberated women, and what liberated all of us, all of us as individuals to live, live in the kind of quality of life we have, live with the kind of freedom that we have, live with the kind of ability to go to opera that we have. That's a product of capitalist. Nobody knows it. Nobody seems to care about it. Nobody is defending it. They defend it using economics. But that's not the beauty of it. The beauty is the culture. The beauty is the freedom. The beauty is women's liberation. They believe women to pursue careers, free of family, free of society, free of authority, telling them what they can and cannot do. Go do what you can do. Fail, succeed, up to you. And you can't understand all these other movements. Again, conservatives, socialists, fascists, communists, without understanding how revolutionary capitalism was, how disruptive to the status quo capitalism is, how disruptive to everything that people understood about the world before capitalism, capitalism was, including the world of women. Today, a young man on would not have to face the kind of choices she faces. Nobody sends their daughters off to convents anymore. Thank God. Nobody denounces, oh, not nobody. I shouldn't say nobody. Some people still do. Denounces the energy, the passion, the curiosity that a young girl might have, or the sexuality that she might exhibit. It's what's proper is to teach, to educate on how to channel your curiosity, how to channel your sexuality, how to channel your interests. That's what's appropriate, but nobody ridicules them. Nobody condemns them. Nobody oppresses them. Again, nobody is a massive exaggeration.  But in the West, it is for the most part gone, or even in some Christian communities. Anyway, what we need today, what I called a new intellectual would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, wins, or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of despair, cynicism, and impotence, and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist brought. Using the super chat, and I noticed yesterday when I appealed for support for the show, many of you stepped forward and actually supported the show for the first time. So I'll do it again. Maybe we'll get some more today. If you like what you're hearing, if you appreciate what I'm doing, then I appreciate your support. Those of you who don't yet support the show, please take this opportunity, go to Iranbrookshow.com slash support, or go to subscribestar.com, Iranbrookshow, and make a kind of a monthly contribution to keep this going. I'm not showing the next.
