The NES has its fair share of bad arcade ports, but Marble Madness is not one of them. On paper this game sounds pretty dull, but it's one of the best versus multiplayer games on the NES. You're just racing with marbles, there's not really any enemies or anything like that.  You can of course play by yourself as well, but instead of racing the computer opponent, you're just racing the clock. The quicker you finish one stage, the more time gets added onto the next stage, so there's always an incentive for finishing with a quicker time. It's all very simple, except for the controls, which are kinda strange and hard to get used to. It's easy to hate on the controls at first for feeling stiff and awkward, but after a while I began to realize I'm not really sure how else you could implement something like this from an isometric viewpoint. It's all based on feel, and either you get it or you just don't. What's weird is that the game itself seems unsure of itself about the controls and covers its bases by providing two control options, 45 degrees and 90 degrees. 90 degrees is the default option and works fine, but the 45 degree option is bizarre. It just shifts the d-pad 45 degrees, so pressing down moves you down and to the right, pressing up moves you up and to the left and so on. It's super weird and not intuitive, it's easier to just use the 90 degree option which just reflects the d-pad as it is. There's a couple other idiosyncrasies here, notably in two player mode, where if one player gets too far ahead of the other, the player left behind gets warped ahead, but is penalized 5 seconds. Again, I'm guessing technical limitations meant that they couldn't really do a split screen for this game, so this is likely just the best they could put together at the time. As it is now, it's a little disorienting and kind of annoying.  Another idiosyncrasy is this magic wand that shows up and grants you some extra time. I really have no idea how or why this happens, it just does. So whatever. There's only six levels here, so the game is pretty short. Really this game is so tough and so focused and intense that anything longer probably would have made my head explode. Marble Madness is very tough and subsequently very frustrating. I think that's because this game looks like it should be somewhat easy. I mean, you're just a marble rolling around, there's no enemies or anything, how hard could it be? Well, the answer is spike the controller on the ground and rage quit kind of hard. So yeah, Marble Madness is the ultimate rental game. It's worth a rental to see if you can get the hang of the controls, or if it's just not for you. The game certainly isn't bad, but it's all about feel, and if that feel agrees with you then you'll love this game. It does everything else well, like the graphics and music and the two player mode while flawed is really fun and majorly intense. Marble Madness is at the very least worth trying out at least once.


here. I hope you're ready to respect my rebrand. That's so important to me. Please, please. You must respect me. I'm just going to block you. I'm just going to ban you. So please respect my rebrand. All right. I have the right to my own delusions. And it's important to me that you mirror back to me this false self that I'm trying to project out to you. An article here in Bumble. Please respect Mia Khalifa's rebrand. So Mia Khalifa is a porn star, perhaps best known for doing pornography while wearing a hijab. So on TikTok, the woman briefly known as Pornhub's number one performer is amassing a more supportive, more female fan base creeps and jerks will be blocked. So it seems like every few years the media tell us about some ex porn stars coming along and who is totally taking charge of her sexuality. And she is rebranding and she's just turning it back on the porn industry and she's just going forward. So here's the article just came out today. Is this normal? Is this happiness? Social media superstar, right? Social media superstar Mia Khalifa us. She's reflecting on her current state of mind while she waits for her berry lemonade expressing disbelief at just how far she's come. I'm at peace. What is this? We're at the mandolin at Miami Bistro. Khalifa suggested the spot. She was willing to drive three hours in traffic from her new home in the suburbs to get here. The house won her over with a large quiet outdoor space that offers some much desired tranquility. There are peacocks all over the neighborhood. They wander into our yards. Six years ago, she left Miami. She swore she'd never come back. It's the city where she started her career and where her career started to ruin her life. So at age 21, fresh out of college, 2014, she moved to Miami because her then partner took a job there. So Khalifa got a job too at Bud Rockers, but her priority was getting breast implants. Considerable weight loss in her late teens left a self conscious about her breasts. So she saved up and strategize for an augmentation throughout college. She reasoned that Beverly Hills was too expensive even for a short term stay, but Miami struck the right compromise between affordability and caliber of surgeons. That practicality you've guided her before. Khalifa was born in Lebanon, grew up in a DC suburb, went to the University of Texas at El Paso, because it accepted the college level credit she earned in high school, which allowed her to graduate sooner. Then she was approached by someone who offered her the opportunity to pose nude. And so she chose the name Mia Khalifa. And she worked for Bang Bros. And they wanted to leverage her proximity to the Middle East.  So she she's willing to do the saying that she claims may get her killed, but she wants to blame other people. Right?  The adult industry is no stranger to media stunts and irreverence, but the exposure her video earned her was unprecedented. Just the quality of her acting less than two months, her clip had garnered more than 1.5 million views. Who would imagine that a beautiful porn star from Lebanon, like doing porn in a hijab, and getting a lot of publicity about it, would get 1.5 million views. She was declared Pornhub's number one ranked performer. She began receiving death threats, right? Pretty much everyone in public life receives death threats. She got international news coverage. Even ISIS got involved by reportedly hacking her two million follower Instagram account, which was subsequently deleted by Facebook. Mia Khalifa defended the scene as satire telling the Washington Post, there are Hollywood movies that depict Muslims in a much worse manner than any scene bang bros could produce. Then she quit porn. She tried to take conventional jobs like bookkeeper and paralegal, but she cut and dyed her long dark hair co workers and clients alike made it clear that they'd seen her on their screens. She says their behavior was so disruptive that one employer stopped letting customers into the office. She complains I was made to feel ashamed about getting recognized in public when I was with someone who wasn't in the public eye. Today, her circumstances different. She's just totally turned around folks clear now 29 is she's just doing great her new Instagram account has 28 million followers. I wonder how many of these are real. But this is outpaced by her following on TikTok, which at more than 32 million puts her in the top 50 the apps most popular creators. She alone controls her social media. And she conceives the safe for work but spicy $12 per month only fans account right lots of lude photos. But please respect her rebrand. She co hosts a daily sports talk show. She designs a line of bikinis. And she recently signed a partnership with Playboy. But her personal success matters more to her than professional. I'm with someone I actually love I'm more confident now I have a personality. I was just so young and dumb and lost when I first lived here in Miami. Well, it can happen to the best of us. They are women who wanted to make it big in Hollywood. And they did. They are among the most popular new stars in porn. Well, now they talk about their fame, fortunes and their very different hopes for the future in our entertainment tonight cover story. Devon found her way here from Allentown Pennsylvania.  I didn't know what to expect. Shaila came from Chicago. Never thought I would be here. But I have to say I wouldn't trade it for the world. Coral was a country girl from Alabama. What if my friends find out? What if my family finds out? Today, these three women are among the hottest stars in adult video. I completely acknowledge the fact that what I do is not so normal.  Money. Luke Ford is the author of A History of Acts, a new book on the industry. He says top actresses can make over $100,000 a year and lots more touring strip clubs. They're probably two or three girls who are making $500,000 a year. There are probably a dozen porn stars who are clearing over $200,000 a year. I can't believe that I could have such a great income and have so much fun. But all that fun and money comes with a price. Despite precautions, there is the threat of AIDS. It only takes one time. It's a scary issue. Family and friends may. Yeah, that's kind of funny that that that's the supposedly the scariest thing that they might get AIDS.  Now, what about AIDS of the soul? What about all the other complications that come from doing porn? And I'd be so enthusiastic about your job. Some of them are cool. And then some of them sort of didn't want to hang out with me. Didn't want to be my friends so much anymore. But I guess I could expect that. There's so many people that can't possibly imagine that this is okay. It's a very tough business. It really grinds people down. Really is a job. It's work. Shiloh who's in college studying criminal justice plans to quit in a year or two. My goal is to, you know, eventually be the best criminal attorney out there. But besides that, I'd like to be a judge someday. So do you think she became an attorney, a criminal attorney or a judge or D none of the above? Coral wants to be a singer and settle in the mountains of Tennessee. Every other thing I'm doing is working for one thing and one thing only by my way out of LA. So do you think she became a singer? They may go but new ones are certain to replace them bringing with them big dreams.   Perfect. Luke Ford's book A History of X 100 Years of Sex and Film will be in stores in March and tomorrow on ET, Leonardo DiCaprio Okay. So let's let's go back to this Mia Khalifa article here on bustle.com. So Mia is restarting her career guys transitioning away from the demographic that had controlled her trajectory for so long straight man. No, Mia Khalifa always controlled her trajectory. I'm growing as a woman. I hope you're growing as a man today. And I want to grow with other women. Are you growing with other men? The list of porn performers have crossed over into mainstream fame is short. Yes, but every time it happens just a little bit. We get all these new stories about it. It's ginger Lynn. It's Jenna Jamison. It's Tracy Lords crossing over. Number of female porn performers who pivoted to girls, girl influencers can be counted on one hand. Wow, Mia Khalifa is a girl influencer. Well, this was very accidental, she says humbly. I feel like I failed upwards. Khalifa's modesty belies her resiliency and the courage it took to show more of herself. So she's been forthcoming in podcasts and on social media about feeling exploited as an insecure young woman at work and in relationships. Right. So she's been very happy to broadcast about how other people have taken advantage of her, how other people have used her, how other people have exploited her. Not a lot of introspection about how she used and exploited herself. Right. She was an adult when she made these terrible decisions. But you're not going to get a lot of introspection from her about that. But you will get lots of talk about how other people took advantage of her. Few people can relate to telling the BBC their porn industry origin story. Yes, it was all about how other people took advantage of her. Great news Mia Khalifa now posts about everything from eating disorders. She's she's a girl, girl influencer. Okay, so please respect, please respect Mia Khalifa's rebrand guys. And she talks about dissociative trauma. And she's found millions who empathize when she does. Authenticity is the main currency of social media. And Khalifa is more candid than some in real life friends will be. She's opened a new Instagram account. She's become active on YouTube and Twitch. She's remade her public persona as a jocular sports fan, talking to professional athletes on Twitter. So when she was working the sports realm, her target demographic was young men.  So what role did she play in creating this toxic male energy? Every appearance brought on a new wave of commentary from sports fans who weren't let to live down her past. Okay, so she's selling nude photos of herself up to the present. Like she's marketing her sexuality. And she's shocked when people respond to what she's putting out into the world. So her personality is now better showcased on TikTok, where she combines humor and sincerity. Where she pokes fun at her cosmetic surgery, depression, and the origins of her fame. My Instagram is maybe 25% women, she says, but TikTok is in the mid 40s. That's why it's such a safe and fun platform for me. There are videos where my entire comment section is just women. And I can just sit there and go back and forth with them. Wow, that feels like what I've got going here. You know, there are ties when my entire platform is just blokes. Alright, and I feel like I can just go back and forth with the blokes. And it was the women of TikTok guys who inspired me a Khalifa to start an OnlyFans account in September 2020.  I had written it off for so long because I was insecure. Right, she found that OnlyFans helped her to understand the difference between ethical and unethical porn. She shakes her head as she rebukes OnlyFans willingness to abandon its core creators when it announced a short lived intention to ban sexually explicit content.  I mean, how callous of these, you know, OnlyFans businessmen that they will they were willing to turn their backs on those hard working suckers and screwers, you know, willing to go all hardcore and and OnlyFans, right?  Right? Can you believe that that OnlyFans was was willing to treat with complete disrespect? The sex workers who built their platform?  Look, Sunny Leone became a mainstream after a major porn career. She moved to India. Yeah, I remember Sunny Leone. No one in India questions her and her switch from porn to mainstream Bollywood, even though it's a very conservative culture compared to the West. So any good links to Sunny, Sunny Leone. Yes, I remember her interviewed her. Look, you are so good looking. Yeah, Roller Girl takes her revenge. But but with these wrinkles comes great wisdom. So great news is that Mia Khalifa travels around Airbnb's to help help others produce content for only for their respective OnlyFans.  It's the difference between moral and immoral pornography. They are now free guys from the pressure of sleazy photographers. And that anxiety of knowing that somewhere on a hard drive or all the awkward possibly revealing in between post shots. Oh, don't you just hate that? But most important is how much fun they have. So Mia Khalifa posts on posts on OnlyFans just titillating without being explicit. It's lude but not nude. And she'll block anyone if they say one thing that's annoying.  And she'll block you. Anyone who even mounts the slightest complaint, she'll just block you. I mean, are you not excited about women taking back their powers? She replies to her DMs herself.  Instead, they lapsed into flirtatious pandering. But she's not pandering to men. She's not pandering to straight men anymore. Her attitude is she doesn't need to make nice with a customer. You should read the fine print. It says no nudity, respect the brand. Come on guys, you gotta respect the rebrand here. The ability to enforce these boundaries is still new for Mia Khalifa, who's faced enough harassment to last multiple lifetimes. Now it's girls who come up to me to tell me they love my tiktoks. My anxiety was very bad. My depression and anxiety were a very bad combination. That's why I'm thankful for tiktok. It gave me a bridge to that female audience I never had a connection to. I didn't like myself. I was making choices and doing things that didn't really reflect who I was. She got married to an old guy when she was in high school. Then she got married to someone early on around her entry into the porn industry. Now she's dating some famous singer. There's a happy ending here. I just showed you a video with Shilah Fox. Shilah Fox, she did not become an attorney. She's become an owner at Stress and Anger Management Institute, the SAMI group. So Stress and Anger Management Institute, LLC. It offers the most advanced stress management research positive psychology and cutting bio feedback technology to help you train and overcome any areas that may be hoarding you back or keeping you stuck at your current level of life experiences. The key to managing stress is understanding how to identify and transmute counterproductive situations and decision-making skills. Guys, to live a happy, healthy, or prosperous life, Shilah Fox aka Nutsa Bellissimo says we must focus our energy on that which will allow us to quickly, easily, and comfortably make all the necessary changes required to achieve our ultimate goals and desired lifestyle. The SAMI group aligns individuals with increased levels of communication, emotional intelligence, and stress management skills. It's a whole alternative to traditional therapy. It's all about e-emotional fitness, EQ. Okay, it's the silent resilience factor that can make or break our personal and professional lives. Developing emotional intelligence enhances communication, productivity, at work, and balance in our own life. Wow. So thank you for talking about a few things. So tell me a little bit about your backstory. How do you get to be involved in stress and stress and anger management, right? So one leads to the other. Exactly. So tell me a little bit how you got to that because obviously that's an interesting journey in stress, I guess. Well, I've been what we might call a serial entrepreneur my entire life. I don't, I think my first, how far back do you want to go, John? Like my last, my first and last quote-unquote job, you know, but all of my students are, you know, part of the job. But I would say that really an entrepreneur since 18, 19, and always love the idea of being in, freedom is important to me. So being in control of my schedule, being in control of my life. And so that's really how I began working through the process of one business and experience leading to another. And so it was really when in about the 1990s that I began coaching before it was super popular. And yeah, before. My cell phone was really big, it was like a block, you know. And so around 1999 or so, 1998, I began life purpose and career consulting for executives and transition and employees through large organizations that were being maybe laid off. And in fact, it was American Airlines who was having a big layoff. And I began working with their employees and looking at how they were going to move forward and whether or not they were going to be continuing with the company. And or if they wanted to. Wow, this is awesome, man. This sounds great. She doesn't really get into some of her prior entrepreneurial experiences. But according to Boob Pedia, that Shiloh Fox was born December 21, 1972.   All right. So she debuted at age 24 in the movie Gothic and during anal sex, double penetration of multiple facials. She was soon given the lead role in volume 16 of the seminal series Taboo.  I was surprised she didn't win an Oscar for that. And she was featured on entertainment tonight focusing on girls in porn trying to go mainstream. And then she also starred in Too Too Much with Jasmine St. Clair. It was a breakthrough film because it featured high profile porn stars engaging in raucous methods of intercourse, including the single orifice double penetration. Wow. And she had an incredible work ethic. She said after one performance, I'm pretty sore.  But I'll be here to do it again in a month. And my goal is to be the best criminal attorney out there. But beside that, I'd like to be a judge someday. So please respect her rebrand. All right. People can rebrand. You can't just put them, you know, pigeonhole them. And now you can find, just got a whole, and that's a beliefs about a YouTube channel. Talk about anger management and how YouTube can live the life of your dreams. Pretty inspiring stuff. He didn't meet his best friend and then he says, I'm going to destroy Jaden McNeil, federal agent. If you like him, if you promote him, I think you are doing something. So this is Ken Brown, AKA Deep Let's Joke, all talking about Nick Fuentes as a federal agent. I've never heard Ken Brown say that about anyone else. Being wrong for yourself and also for others. I think it's very toxic. I think, you know, again, these are all relative statements. So, you know, four years ago, you know, you could compare Nick to the broader alt-right and say, okay, well, he was, he's better because he is not a pure ethno-nationalist.  They don't have to be bass-deported. You know, he was, I guess, somewhat moderate on certain issues.  He's not a pagan. He's a Christian. So there were different issues where you could say, okay, well, he's actually more moderate than the alt-right and he's kind of moving the alt-right away from sort of purity spiraling. And that's a move toward a moderate vision. And so that's positive in some sense because people in the alt-right were just these out-and-out Hitler fans. But the problem is that Nick Fuentes is, is, I mean, you want to talk about optics. The guy's talking about how he's Hitler. He's an incel. He's going after, he doesn't have any friends. He says, Jaden McNeil's his best friend.  So, I mean, this is really bad. So people like Shia LaFox, Nick Fuentes, Richard Spencer, Mia Khalifa, they all chose the quick and easy fame that comes from being pornographic. So Richard and Nick engage in political pornography, as Ken Brown was calling it, they're going for the most visceral, compelling, back-to-blood approach to politics, which will always have an audience. Now, you'll generally attract an audience that is anti-social as that approach is generally frowned upon, but you will compel a passionate following. And so another easy way to quickly get attention if you're a beautiful young female is to get naked and have sex. So when you appeal to the most visceral impulses, you get an intense reaction, but you may not like a lot of that reaction. And so then people like Nick and Richard and Shia La and Mia, they all want to rebrand themselves. They want to use all the advantages of their fame, but rebrand it to create a happier, more comfortable life. But that's really, really hard to do. When you become best known for taking loads on your face, it's really hard to rebrand.  When you choose to go into the gutter, so Richard Spencer loved it when people would hail Hitler him. And when people would treat him like some Nazi leader, that gave him a tremendous charge when the whole room would give him a Hile Hitler salutes. Nick Fuentes can't stop comparing himself to Hitler and Joseph Stalin. They get this primal charge out of an appealing to that perhaps visceral primitive part of anti-social people. And so they loved that attention and that energy that they derived, but they don't like the negative consequences from these choices. And so they're very intent on rebranding into something more socially respectable, but they want to take all the energy and enthusiasm and following and money and fame that they gained by swimming in the sewer and try to make it respectable. Oh, I don't know. I mean, I guess I could get into these other points a little bit more. Maybe you're not convinced that someone who promotes a Fed op like January 6th and then continues to promote it and continues to promote it. Maybe that's not enough evidence for you. I mean, I'll say this about APAC. Just to be brutal and clear, Richard put on conferences, MPI, for years. And did they ever reach a thousand people? I'm not sure. I don't know them. And Half Galician says, this guy's voice is too effeminate. Stand up, do a push-up, talk like a man. You can mark Ken Brown for many things, but one thing he's not is toxic. I don't think he's dangerous. He seems fundamentally a pretty decent person. So I don't detect much that's dangerous about this guy. He conducts things on a pretty high level and seems to conduct himself pretty honorably. The numbers on that, but I'm pretty sure they had hundreds of people. And did they have sitting Congress people or sitting members of the government? No, but on the other hand, there were no disavows. There were people who went So back to this article on Basel, please respect Mia Khalifa's rebrand. And so I know Mia Khalifa did not write the headline, but it likely embodies her approach. Like, guys, come on, please respect my rebrand, which also feels a lot like what Richard Spence is doing these days. Guys, please, please respect my rebrand. And we're talking Richard, Nick, Mia, three people who are at war with reality. Now there may be happy endings here. I'm not sure. I'd be much more confident of a happy ending when there's a lot less emphasis on trying to get other people to respect you. It's really hard to get other people, force other people to respect you when you've made money taking loads to the face, literally, and metaphorically. Normal people don't like to take loads to their face. Most people don't like to get face blasted and throat fucked. And most people who've endured the humiliation of a Richard Spencer or Nick Fuentes, they'd have a hard time keeping going. But sometimes you can try to rebrand. Now, point and point, I don't know the real Mia Khalifa. I don't know the real Nick Fuentes. I don't know the real Richard Spence. I'm only reacting to the public self that they put out there. And so I noticed with a lot of internet blood sports, it's all about cutting people down. And I don't know the real person. I'm just reacting to their public persona. Now, one thing I think that Mia Khalifa, Richard Spencer, Nick Fuentes have in common is that it seems like their focus is on changing reality rather than adjusting to reality. They desperately want to push people to respect them and to respect their rebrand. And not nearly as much attention is paid to adjusting to reality. So how does one adjust to reality? Well, think about how is my selfishness hurt the lives of people around me? So I don't hear much introspection from Mia or from Nick or from Richard about ways that their selfishness has been devastating to people around them. Think about people who've been kind and good to you and who have felt let down by you. That kind of sobering thought brings one right back into reality and lets one let go of being at war with reality.  And part of that approach is we're no longer fighting anyone or anything. It's such a relief when I stop trying to get people to respect me. So saying please respect my boundaries. It's like saying, please respect my rebrand. It's like saying, please tell me about yourself. It sounds very innocuous, but you're giving people orders. All of those are orders. People don't like to be given orders, particularly not from people who've been faceblasted for money.  It's not going to work. It's not a winning formula to be at war with reality. Like if you learn to respect yourself, other people will too. The best movie on this is Weatherman starring Nicholas Cage about a weatherman in Chicago and other people just constantly like throwing milkshakes at and abusing him. But he took up archery, learned to respect himself, and that affected how other people reacted to him. So asking the world to change, to accommodate you, it's not going to work. Now all these people, Mia, Nick, Richard, they're all smarter than I am. They're all incredibly talented. Right now they're going through some delusions, but you'll know when they've come to some inner peace and some ease with themselves, when they're less at war with reality, they're less concerned with how you regard them and more concerned with how they regard themselves. And they've learned to give themselves that acceptance that they're so desperately want from other people. Right? You want other people to accept your rebrand. You want other people to accept your boundaries. Well, do you accept your rebrand? Are you at peace with yourself?  There was no line. There was no deception. There was no disavowals.  And then afterwards they're like, no, no, no, I disavow. I don't agree with any of that. And the content of what's being said, I mean, it's understandable why they would back away because it's billed as this American first conservative thing. And then what you end up is getting Putin first, Russia first, Putin is Hitler, but that's cool. That is the kind of rhetoric that, and that's not how it's billed. And so there is a kind of a bait and switch that's going on. I don't think it's sustainable. I don't think, I think the thing is imploding. I think it's a cult. I think, you know, we've seen this before. We've seen the rise in the fall of the alt-right. We saw the rise of America first. I think we're seeing the fall of America first. The time to jump off this whole train was four years ago. I mean, I came up with the term minoritarian five years ago now, and that was my response to this whole thing. Because I said, well, there's this libertarian alt-right pipeline. People need an exit path. For a lot of people, that was America first. I said, no, no, no, America first. That's populism. That's not going to work. We need minoritarianism. Made the arguments for that. So really the right time to get off this train was five years ago. You know, it's five years, kind of too late, but better late than ever. Like people who are continuing to stick with this, people are continuing to argue for this, people who are trying to make marginal improvements around the edges. Oh, this is just kind of a, this is just like, oh, it's just like a personality conflict or we can reform this, or we'll just do it a little bit better. I mean, just to give you a little prognosis and prediction, I think that there's basically in the same way that America first was originally billed as a big tent, which in some ways it still is, you know, it's got Milo and Laura Loomer and Michelle Malkin and Bryson Gray and all these people Kanye West fans. It does kind of have a weird big tent, but at the same time has become a bit of a cult. But initially, it was to say, okay, well, we're not pure ethno status. We're not pure like neo-nazis. We're not pure like anti-Christian pagans. Like, we're going to be broad. We're going to be inclusive in some sense. And you know, anyone could be America first. And so it was really billed implicitly as an anti-spenser group. It was a response to Richard's alt-right, okay, we're not doing that. We're going to have America first. And I think what we're going to see happen in 2023 is a coalescing of an anti-Nick post-America first thing. I don't know Okay, so that's a terrific documentary on Amazon about the rise of the warrior apes. And you see the status hierarchy constantly changing. So there's this conventional wisdom from any spiritual people that you should not compare yourself to others. And that's simply anti-human and anti-reality. We need to compare ourselves to other people for information or connection or inspiration. We need to connect for a sense of reality. There's no alternative but to compare yourself to others. But you can compare yourself to others and be dragged down by it. So I can be doing a live stream right now and Nick Fuentes might be out doing live stream at the same time getting 8,000 live viewers. So I can take that information. I can even study it. So what is Nick doing to get 8,000 live viewers? What's his formula? I can use comparison to, say, connect to other live streamers who I respect. And I can get a sense of reality. Like, oh, I'm putting some effort into this stream. Like, why am I putting so much effort for a stream that, say, may only get watched by 100 people while Nick Fuentes may do a stream that gets watched by 20,000 people? All right. So there's reality. Wow. Thank you so much. Curious Gazelle for the super chat and for the retweets. And thank you. And for the inspiration and the prompts for discussion topics that you've given to me over the years now. Okay. Read out all my comments now. Okay. I'm scrolling. I'm scrolling. I'm scrolling. Okay, let's go to the beginning here. Look, show your audience. Sunny Leones relaunches a Bollywood star in 2014 with the song Baby Doll. The problem is I'll probably get a copyright strike if I show that song. So I'm happy to show things that would not get me a copyright strike. Okay. So Sunny Leones also does stand up comedy for Amazon Prime India now on 69 cannot believe Indians have accepted this woman and respect her. Look, there's an Islamic scholar in the United Kingdom is popular online calls himself Mufti Abu Lay who was caught up with pornography. Yeah, you never get to graduate from being a man, right? To be a man is to be vulnerable to the lures of pornography and to being vulnerable to the lures of attention and recognition and appreciation. But if I'm spiritually centered and I get a little bit of attention, recognition, appreciation, I don't get intoxicated from it. But if I'm having a hard day, I'm off my spiritual center. I'm not not well aligned. I'm feeling sorry for myself. And then I get a little bit of attention and appreciation that I get intoxicated by it. And so ideally, appreciation, attention, it kind of blows through you like a warm, warm breeze. But when you're needy, and the attention and appreciation just, you know, intoxicates you. Okay, then that's dangerous because you'll love that hit so much, you'll keep coming back and you'll keep tapping the source of that hit of appreciation and you'll get into a ton of trouble. So men by nature, also highly hierarchical, they're always trying to find ways that they're better than others. They're always looking for opportunities to lead out, to assert themselves vis-a-vis other guys, to attract female attention, to become a leader among men and to be desired by women. This is just built into our genetic nature. But how we express that and how powerful it is over us, and if it intoxicates us, leads us down a destructive path. There we can do some things so that these basic primal desires either lead us off course, or they provide fuel. They provide the energy and the strength that we need to do something that is socially useful, rather than something that is anti-social. Curious Gazelle has the pimp hand in this chat now. Luke falls off the fap wagon every other day. No, bro, no, bro. No fap. God strike me down if I have fapped since June of 2013. So we are coming up on nine years, no fap. I should be going around speaking in mosques, churches, and yeshivote about the path of mastery. Okay, so keep your hands where I can see them. So I started blogging June, July 3rd, 1997, within an hour of getting home with my first real computer, my first real PC. I started blogging on AOL. And as I started writing about dark stories such as I made my name reporting on an HIV outbreak in the pornography industry. And it seemed like every month or two, some new porn star would test positive with HIV. And then I eventually tracked down the person who was most likely to have been patient zero, Mark Goldberg Wallace. And that ended that particular pandemic, which went from about 1995 to 1999. But when I was going out there and researching and reporting on this very dark story, I got a lot of the following comment, when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you. If you stare into the abyss 40, the abyss will stare right back at you. And this is a quote from Nietzsche. It's an impressive comment, right? It really takes you back. And I have to admit that when I was blogging and I was blogging for a living, and I was getting a lot of pushback and death threats from the industry, and they're getting knocked around. And I wasn't just the innocent agree party, I made some reckless mistakes. I was sometimes mean, sometimes unfair. I was frequently self aggrandizing and reckless, right? I sometimes treated other people carelessly and I unnecessarily hurt other people and they reacted. So I was the primary cause of my own misery. But in all that contention that I was a part of for the approximate 10 years that I was blogging about the porn industry, I sometimes felt like I was just losing it. I remember there was one evening where I even looked up online zoological material. Let's just leave it there. We're a very elevated audience. I don't want to go into more details than that. But suddenly for the first time in my life, I had an interest in zoology. And I remember thinking, wow, I've really hit bottom this time. And so I sometimes thought, wow, I am gazing into the abyss. Maybe the abyss is gazing back into me. And maybe I've got a problem. And maybe Nietzsche is right when you gaze into the abyss. The abyss gazes back into you. But then I realized why do people like 40 spend so much time gazing into the abyss? Why do people like Nick Fuentes or Mia Khalifa or Richard Spencer or Mike Enoch or Eric Stryker? Why do we spend so much time staring into the abyss? And it's because that's where we get our sense of importance. Oh, I'm the tough guy. I can look evil straight in the eye. I'm the real man. I can you know, I can go do battle with the devil. So it's kind of prompted to all these thoughts by a thread on Steve Saylor's blog about Nick Cave's model actor son Jethro Lazambi just recently died. So Nick Cave, the singer and the actor has four kids. Now two of the four have died. And so there was a comment on Steve Saylor's blog. Notice how many of these singers who specialize in darkness that they're not really able to have a stable existence. And they're able to successfully raise stable children like Janis Joplin, Billy Holiday, Niko, Amy Winehouse staring into the abyss seems to damage girls even more than guys. But certainly guys who make their names staring into the abyss, they have a great deal of trouble as well. Whoa, another super chat from Curious Gazelle. Thank you for being you. Wow. Thank you. That line about the abyss was made famous in the movie Wall Street actor Howell Holbrook says it to Charlie Sheen. Luke's got one hand on the helm. Thank you, Elliot Platt. I appreciate that. So Nick Cave, two of his kids have died. And so it just makes you think about those public performers Manson who's that that singer Manson who specialize in darkness. They seem to get into a lot of a lot of trouble. So this Jethro Lazambi, his mother was a model Australian model Bo Lazambi. And this isn't the first kid of Nick Cave who's ended up dead at an ungodly early age. So this Lazambi was jailed in 2018 for a number of violent attacks on his then girlfriend, or recently physically attacked his mother in March found guilty of unlawful assault. He is diagnosed with schizophrenia. He's released from Melbourne Roman Center last Thursday on the condition to undergo drug counseling, ordered to stay away from his mother for two years. 2015 Nick Cave's son Arthur died at age 15 after falling off a 60 foot cliff. The teen was high on LSD at the time. Nick Cave wrote about Arthur's passing in a letter to a fan who had experienced similar losses. It seems to me that if we love we grieve. That's the deal. That's the packed grief and love of forever intertwined grief is a terrible reminder of the depths of our love. Like love grief is not negotiable. So I have thought a lot about this idea that when you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares into you. And then as I get older, I realize we stare into the abyss for a reason because it serves us. It gives us a feeling of importance. It gives us a feeling that we are the brave ones. It may be a source of income and prestige and status for us that we're willing to look into the darkness that we're willing to wrestle with the devil. But what type of person spends a lot of time staring into the abyss? Someone who's not normal doesn't have normal levels of human connection.   You prefer to stare into the eyes of your friends and extended family and community. That's where a normal person spends his time. So what kind of person spends a great deal of his time staring into the abyss? Like Mia Kleefer, Luke Ford, Richard Spencer, Nick Fuentes, Mike Enoch, Eric Stryker.  And so when you don't have that normal level of human connection, you are then desperate, desperate, desperate for meaning. And out of that desperation for meaning, you go in some strange directions. There's a story in the Talmud about this. It's called Pardes. It's a legend about four rabbis of the Mishnahic period. So in the first century of the common era, they visited Pardes. That's the orchard of esoteric Torah knowledge. And only one of the four succeeds in leaving the orchard unharmed. So four entered the Pardes, Rabbi Ben Azai, Ben Azoma, another acre, and Rabbi Akiva. So one looked into the esoteric, looked into the abyss and died. One looked and went mad. One looked and became an apostate. And then one entered in peace and departed in peace. So it's not necessary that if you look into the abyss that you become deranged. But the type of people who are most attracted to the abyss tend to be deeply disturbed. There's a reason someone's staring into the abyss, whether it's Luke Ford for much of his life or Nick Fuentes or Richard Spencer or Mia Khalifa or any porn star. Some people who are not normal, who don't have normal levels of human connection, they are attracted to the abyss. The abyss is serving them because it is a reflection of the darkness they find inside of them. So it's not so much staring into the abyss. And the abyss then stays into you. No, there's an abyss inside of you that then leads you to go looking for the abyss. It's like when I was two occasions at about age seven when I was lighting fires, right? I was trying to take what was going on inside of me and transfer it to the outside world. I wanted the outside world to be as burned up and desolate and dangerous as I felt inside. So here's a version in the Babylonian Talmud, which is probably the best known version of this legend of Pardes. So Thor entered the orchard.  Ben Azai gazed and died. Regarding him the verse states, precious in the eyes of God is the death of his pious ones. Ben Zoma gazed and was harmed, meaning he went mad. Regarding him the verse states, did you find honey, eat only as much as you need, lest you be overfilled and vomited? Then Akher cut down the plantings, gave an apostate, Rabbi Akiva entered in peace and left in peace. So yes, if you come in peace to read, you know, Mein Kampf or the Turner Diaries or, you know, some of the dangerous thought, you're going to read the book in peace and you're going to leave in peace. But if you have some in a darkness that you're seeking to get replicated outside in the world, you will find the darkness in literature or in podcasts or in YouTube videos that you so desperately seek. Going to be called America first. I don't know if it's going to be called American populism. There's something American populist movement. I don't know. You've got people like John Doyle has a big audience. Seems like a, again, I disagree with all these people politically, but he seems like he's smarter than Nick. He seems more well put together. Relatively speaking, you've got people like Jayden. You've got this Simon guy. You've got who else is willing to jump aboard the anti-Nick train. I don't know. The rest of the cast at Mr. Medeker was a fairly large audience. So you have a group of people who seem to have competence, experience. They seem to hate Nick. They seem to want to move in a more moderate direction where they can kind of reconcile with figures like Charlie Kirk rather than steaming forward with the Hitler jokes. Which again, the thing about Richard is, he did this hail Trump speech and it was, oh, that's bad optics, bad optics. You can't do that. Richard never said, he has never said anything. You can't find any, I mean, maybe what private tape will come up, but you can't find any tape at all public or private that I know of where he says, yeah, Hitler is a great guy. He's awesome. I love him. You're not going to find that because even though I think Richard probably does think that, he understands that, I don't know how to communicate this exactly, but instead of just coming out and saying that, the implication is enough, right? The implication is enough. You don't need to come out and say that because if you come out and say that, really, you're not gaining any support. You're not gaining any energy. No one's coming to you.  No one is really saying that. So keeping it implicit as a political strategy at Machiavellian, right? It makes sense. It makes sense why you would do everything up to actually like signing the dotted line.  But let's repeat that sentence again. It's just jokes. It's just irony. It is not a serious political movement. And so why is he trying to dox people? Why is he trying to ruin people's lives? Okay, so the irony grows a response to online de-platforming and social appropriation and ostracism that happened when the alt-right went off the rails with Hellgate and Charlottesville. So humor and irony are sometimes an adaptive response. They're sometimes a pretty good approach. Now, other times it becomes maladaptive. There's no one approach, whether it's being unironic or ironic. There's no one approach that always works having a look at the chat. Look, can you play Richard Spencer debating Marc Collette on the distant right? Yeah, I played that a day or two ago. E. Michael Jones says that the Supreme Court leak on abortion is ethnic warfare. That Mike Enoch put all his eggs in the basket of people who talk about physiognomy is real all the time is the eight weirdest thing about him.  Yes. Was I white trash? I don't think so. I remember when I moved to Auburn, California, which is about 40 minutes drive north of Sacramento.  So I grew up on college campuses. So I don't ever remember hearing the term white trash until I was 14, moved to Auburn, California, and it was in the foothills of people who were often moving there to get away, God forbid, from black people. Okay, let's get a little bit of Tucker Carlson. Good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson tonight. So if you're the White House press secretary and thank God, you're not. But if you were, you would have two tasks every day. You got to learn the president's views on what's happening in the world so you can repeat them. And then you've got to try to remember the names of those weird looking people sitting in the folding chairs in the briefing room. So it's not an easy job, but it's not a very rewarding one either. You're not making policy. You're not making decisions. You're repeating the party line. Under normal circumstances, it takes a lot more creativity to say sell lipstick for L'Oreal than it does to be White House press secretary. They're all worn out by the end. Except under Joe Biden, it's a totally different job under Joe Biden. The rules have changed. If you're Joe Biden's press secretary, you've got to be able to think on the fly because your boss can't. So every time Biden goes outside, you're going to be called upon to translate what he said or explain what he really meant, assuming for the sake of argument that he really meant anything at all. I know you're frustrated, Biden said today, for example. I can taste it. What does frustration taste like? An earthy, slightly unctuous blend of bacon notes, mango and raspberry with an undertone of saddle leather? Maybe Joe Biden didn't say. The White House press secretary would know that's her job. Or to name another example, which United States senators represent the state of Florida and which represent the state of Wisconsin, which is not near Florida? Well, the press secretary would have to know that too in case Biden screws it up, as of course he just did today, et cetera. So it's not an easy gig. And it's a particularly tough job when the topics are serious, like nuclear war. A few weeks ago, Joe Biden pledged to overthrow the government of Russia, which is fully capable of waging nuclear war, possessing, as it does, at least 6,000 nuclear warheads. That's not a small thing, starting a global. Okay, so Tucker Carlson is another form of political pornography, right? He's another form of hate porn.  It can get the blood flowing. It can provide passion for the troops. It can perhaps energize your side, right? So a little bit of hate porn can have a healthy role to play in many people's lives.   So any group identity quickly takes on characteristics of a cult. We have to be both in a group and then stand outside the group and understand how what we're saying and doing and behaving, how that then looks to outsiders so that we can have some perspective. So it's very appealing to hear about how our in group is being persecuted, how we're being screwed over, and how we need to unite against the people who are just, you know, those elites are just putting their foot on our neck. And that certainly feels good. And it's certainly the path to being a successful pundit.  And some people can't handle any. So what type of person can't really benefit from any level of hate porn? Those who are already disconnected. And if you have a desperate need for meaning in your life, the smallest amount of hate porn may well become intoxicating.  The problem is your desperate need for meaning has made you unstable and reactive and explosive. And you could fire off any of 12 different, you know, random directions in your desperate need for meaning.   So some of that, some of that burn against outgroups can serve you.   So that's why I'm only giving you a couple of minutes, because I know some of you can't handle more than two minutes of uncensored, explicit hate porn, right?  We need to, we need to understand that for everything, there is a season and a time under, under heaven. So what does this quote mean when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you, I just felt like Googling that. And luckily there's Quora, U-U-O-R-A. And the top response is the answer is in the first part of Nietzsche's original quote, whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will then gaze back into you. So fighting evil as a tendency to turn us evil, a key part of this is the end justifies the means.  Eventually you may feel that murder is justified or abortion is a murdering baby. So we decide violence against them is justified. Eventually we feel murder is justified. So if we stare into the abyss of pollution or abortion or whatever we hate, because we see it as evil, and maybe it really is evil, and eventually the abyss stands back hypnotizing us, becoming just as evil as what we hate or more so. Now, this is only true if you're unstable, right? Normal people don't hang out staring at the abyss. So this concern about staring into the abyss and the abyss staring back into you, it's mistaking the symptom for the problem, right? Staring into the abyss is not the problem. Spending a long time staring into the abyss is a symptom that you have an abyss inside of you, right? It's a symptom that you are not at ease with yourself, with the universe, with other people, that you are not functioning in a productive, harmonious way with other members of your community.  And so you feel an attraction to staring into the abyss. So there's a classic example in literature, Captain Ahab of Moby Dick, he stares into the abyss with his anger at a whale who's jumped off his leg. Of course, the whale isn't really evil, because Ahab was hunting that whale and the whale was just fighting for his life. So one of the advantages of 12-step programs that I've experienced is the idea that we're no longer fighting anyone or anything. People would wonder, like, who are you so mad at? Look, because I kind of went through life with this big chip on my shoulders. I was all ready to go into war, ready to go into war on my blog, just always looking for a feud, to stoke the feud, to always hammering tongs. That was my approach. And other people say, hey, I'm just trying to make a living 40, and I'm just trying to enjoy my life. And you're always trying to stir things up. So Ahab stared into the abyss of his hatred for the whale and his desire for revenge. The abyss stared back at him, hypnotizing him into a rational rage, and he destroyed his own life, the life of all but one of his shipmates and his ship, leaving only a coffin that the learned survivor used as a life rast. Then another example of infection is Daenerys Targaryen of the Game of Thrones. Based on the TV series, Daenerys starts out on a mission to step out slavery, make life better for the poor, which is a wonderful right. But she stared into the abyss of righting wrongs.  Just a little bit more of hate porn. Not too much, guys. Well, conflagration and ending human life on the planet. So it fell to the press secretary to clean it up. We are not advocating for killing the leader of a foreign country or regime change, Jen Psaki explained, despite the fact that Joe Biden had just advocated for regime change in Russia. So it's a lot of power. How did somebody like Jen Psaki, someone so demonstrably talentless, a humorless gender studies major from Greenwich, how this person get this much authority in our government? Good question. Nowadays it just comes with the job of press secretary. Just hours ago, Psaki explained that federal law no longer applies to mobs of Biden voters. They get to intimidate all the Supreme Court justices they want as long as they're on the right side of abortion. And we're quoting now. We certainly continue to encourage protests outside. This is crazy that the Biden administration supporting protests outside the homes of Supreme Court justices. Judges home, she said.  She could do that because she's the press secretary. She's Jen Psaki or was next week she's headed to MSNBC for a new life as a cable news contributor. We wish her luck, of course. Good luck Jen Psaki. But in the meantime, you've got to wonder who's going to replace her. Who could replace her? Is anyone qualified? Is there another person in this country as shallow, nasty and partisan as Jen Psaki is? Well, there is. Her name is Kareen Jean-Pierre. Listen to Jen Psaki. Jen Psaki described Kareen Jean-Pierre. First, as you all know, she will be the first Black woman, the first out LGBTQ plus person to serve in this role. The first Black woman and out gay person to speak for the president. Becoming the first Black woman and LGBTQ person.    Becoming the first Black person and first openly LGBTQ person to serve as White House press secretary. Well, you heard it from Jen Psaki. She's going to be the first quote out LGBTQ plus person to be White House press secretary and thank God. But before you light a candle and begin tonight's celebrations, a quick question. What does LGBTQ plus mean? Hey, Jen Psaki, let us know if you have a minute. Explain every letter in that acronym and specifically what it signifies. Well, wait, don't hold your breath. She's not going to do it because like everybody else who uses that phrase Jen Psaki literally has no idea, no clue at all what it means. It's one of those terms you're not supposed to define. Okay, that's all the hate point you get for now. Let's talk about something serious. If Jews are going to patronize prostitutes, is it better that they patronize Jewish prostitutes? Let's get a little Mark Shapiro here. Comments of the Akena Sitzchak. You had communities in Spain, at least one community, better than I recall it was more than one, where you had a problem because the men were going to the non-Jewish prostitutes and that could be a death penalty and created all sorts of problems. So you had this community that established, the rabbi agreed to it too, that you establish a, for lack of a better word, a whorehouse, a Jewish whorehouse. The prostitutes go to the mikvah. Everything is fine and that lessens the sin. And the Akena Sitzchak there said that even to raise this as an issue and there was at least in that community that under rabbinic guidance, they thought that that was okay. He said that this is the biggest disgrace of it all because when you deal with matters like this, you're not looking at what technically is more of a prohibition or less of a prohibition. The very fact that the community itself would give justice, it would justify this practice and make it official and arrange it, that gives it the imprimatur of the community. So I would say the same thing to Rabbi Dachovsky. If he was a heredity, I'd get it because what does he care what, you know, if the state of Israel was violating it, you know, that to him doesn't have, wouldn't have such a meaning. But he's actually a Zionist, Rabbi Dachovsky. I have a letter of his, which I found in the archive.  No, he's speaking to a particular audience who is literate in both languages. So Mark Shapiro did his PhD in Jewish thought at Harvard University. He was in which he affirms that he's a Mizrahi right. So I would think I'm a little. So heredity means non-Zionist, traditional Orthodox Jew. Mizrahi means modern Orthodox and Zionist. Man, Google's trying to kick me out of the call. Bloody hell, guys. Kind of do get a break. Surprise that he doesn't see the problem with the city, the municipality itself having a system where there's little shabbos. But I encourage anyone who's interested to look at the juva, the article he has.  I think you should ask your rabbi. Right. You need to ask a major league rob and get get a response from someone who's learned in Toyota. Now we're going to come back to the Hassan Sofar, the Moshe Sofar Shriver. When we look at his view of emancipation, we get to an next generation. One of the big issues here is emancipation. And do we accept it? Do we want to be part of this new world? Because the reform argument is that the traditionalist Jews, they're Jews of the ghetto. They're Jews of the past. If you want to be a modern person, you need to be, you need to come in our direction. And it's Lusham Sharm al-Fahir. She's going to provide the greatest response to this, that no, you can be 100% traditional Jew and also take part in the world, everything that's on there. But the Moshe Sofar, as we'll see, provides, and he's not unique in this, as many who felt the same way, the justification, Dahfga for the reform argument, that the traditional Jews only want to remain in the ghetto. And there's no question, as we shall see further as we move on, how he's a pivotal figure. He did a great deal in holding back the danger of reform. He gave sustenance to the traditionalists. But his approach, by the time he gets to the mid-19th century, his approach is not going to be helpful in pushing back the tide of reform, because the traditional Jews are not going to want to live in the ghetto. We're going to see what the Hassan Sofar actually says. And as the 19th century goes on, you need a new approach. And it's very interesting, when you read the Hassan Sofar, he has, I don't know what you call it, a certain, even though he lives into the third decade of the 19th century, a certain naivety that works fine in the ghetto, but the idea that this would work outside the ghetto among more westernized Jews, it just, it wasn't going. So rabbis, the traditional rabbis liked it when Jews were confined to the ghetto, because that way they'd be less likely to sleep with non-Jews, less likely to assimilate. And also the rabbis would have more power. So Jews did not have much influence on wider society. They did not make many contributions to science, social sciences, to the humanities, to Gentile culture prior to the 19th century. But with emancipation in the 19th century, Jews left the ghetto. And when they did that, the power of the rabbis was considerably diminished. In America, for example, rabbis have far less power than they had the power of persuasion compared to the real life power that they had to control people back in the old country in Europe. Going to work. And I believe maybe the Hassan Sofar is just fine with having his 10% or even less committed Jews, but this wasn't able when you do. Right. So many of the traditional Orthodox rabbis, they'd rather have 10% of the current number of Jews but committed to Judaism rather than Wishi Washi Jews. So when Napoleon invaded Russia, the traditional Jews, the traditional rabbis prayed for the victory of the Tsar, because that way Jews could stay in the in the shtetl, in the pail, in the ghetto, while the more modern Jews prayed for the victory of Napoleon, because they believed that he would emancipate them. With places like Germany, where everyone is now speaking German and wants to be a professional, and the approach of the Hassan Sofar just wouldn't work. And even the Hassan Sofar in many ways, he still has the pre-modern mentality, even though he's living well into the 19th century. So for example, just to give you some examples, which shows the things that were never been able to have been said by of Shamsher Raphael Hirsch and Israel Hldesheim. So Shamsher Raphael Hirsch and Israel Hldesheim, they developed modern Orthodox Judaism. So modern Orthodox Jews by and large, they look and act like non-Jews, except when it comes to specific religious obligations, such as keeping the Sabbath and keeping the Jewish holidays. A member of Nassan Adwar of London, to be distinguished from the teacher of the Hassan Sofar, who were modern Rabbani, with modern educations, the two of them had doctorates. Nassan Adwar, I think, had the first doctorate in modern time. So Judaism in America has largely been a three-generation phenomenon. The Jews who came from Europe were Orthodox, their children became conservative, their children became reform and their children assimilated. And it's fairly similar to Seventh-day Adventism. Seventh-day Adventism is also a three-generation phenomenon. I was raised as Seventh-day Adventist. So the first generation of Seventh-day Adventists tend to be Febrenta, enthusiastic and traditionalist and very much embracing the church's distinctive teachings about how we're living in the time of the end. And there will only be 144,000 elect souls who will be saved. And Jesus is in the most holy place in the heavenly sanctuary, judging the saints. And then they send their children to Seventh-day Adventist schools, which tend, on average, to be better than public schools. Their children then go to secular universities, moderate their Seventh-day Adventism, and then the third generation tends to assimilate. So Seventh-day Adventism tends in the West to only last three generations. So Islam in the West, Orthodox Judaism in the West, Seventh-day Adventism in the West, and traditional Christianity in the West. Over the generations, all of these movements tend to become more assimilated, less distinctive, and less religious. Lines of German Orthodox types. He received a doctorate from Erlangen University, as I recall. I have material, which I got from the archive there. But to show you, just to give you some examples, how the Chosme Sofer really is, he's pre-modern. So for instance, the Chosme Sofer says that, I'll just give you some famous examples, that he questions whether the results of gentile, and that was a time when scientists were studying anatomy very seriously, he questions whether the results of scientists who are studying human anatomy, we can use them. Because after all, Jewish bodies have only consumed kosher food, and we don't give our bodies to be operated, dissected on. So he questions whether you can use anything the non-Jewish doctors say, because they're not referring to Jewish bodies. He actually, in the early 19th century, he leans towards Ptolemaic astronomy. He acknowledges the issues complicated, but he does not reject Ptolemaic astronomy. He's not 100% certain, because he knows that there are certain rabbis who also lean to Copernicus, but he leaves it as an open question. He writes that Yiddish, as a language, was intentionally invented by medieval Jews to keep them away from the non-Jews. So these type of ideas, they don't really reflect a modern sensibility. I want to give you one more example, and with this, which something which would be well known to all, you know what, I'm already seeing it's 926, I'll get to you next time. And we're going to finish next time with Okay, that's that's enough Torah.  Ladies and gents, please put your hands together and please welcome to the stage the very funny Sunny Leone. Yeah, I'm here. I never in my life thought I'd be doing this, by the way.  Mustyza de. I just want to get this out of the way, because I know what you all are thinking. Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, chotu, that sticks out in my mind. She comes up to me with her baby, and she goes, photo lo, ye apki fan hai. I can picture she's your fan. I mean, fan from where?

Or this other guy, he's like, Sunny, Sunny. Fairy tales, Sunny Leone wants happy ending. Wait, what was that? What was that? Fairy tales, how do fairy tales end? Sunny Leone wants happy ending. Can't win. I know, so creative, right? Bollywood and adult films are very different.  And sexuality in Bollywood is, you know, very different. Bollywood is obsessed with water.  I mean, Bollywood and my subzie guy? vegetable vendor. This Saturday, I don't know if you're aware of it, was 420. And so it was just, it was a madhouse over there. April 20? No, no, 420. Yeah, it was April 20th, but 420, you know, 420. No, what's that? How do you not know, you've never heard of 420? Well, it's it's a big deal. I mean, it's like, it's real popular in the culture right now and everybody's wearing in 420 shirts and you see 420 bumper stickers and everyone's talking about it. 420 is a code term used primarily in North America that refers to the consumption of cannabis and by extension, a way to identify oneself with cannabis subculture. Observances based on the number 420 include smoking cannabis around the time 420 p.m. as well as on the date April 20th. No, what date is that? What year? This was this around 1970. No, this. Anyway, a widely discussed story says that a group of teenagers in Santa Rafael, California, used the term in connection to a here, a fall 1971 plan to search for an abandoned cannabis crop that they had learned about. 420 was the birthday of Austrian born German politician and the leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party, a fellow went by the name of Adolf Hitler. But this guy, there's a picture of him. Adolf Hitler, very compelling kind of a figure, odd looking duck, but there's something about his eyes. Hypnotic. His eyes are almost entirely black. He was a decorated veteran of World War I and he joined the war, hold the fort. He hated Jews. I'm sick of these kind of characters. I think we should kill Hitler.  He died 50 years ago probably. Did he? I didn't even know he was sick. He wasn't. Well, no, that's, that's fine. I wish I could find a Hitler today and go kill him. That's a vow. I'm sorry. I mean, this is Bianca from Indian Express. You know, making a reference to the first episode, I just saw it.  And we don't really, we hardly associate enjoyment with porn. You know, we never see, we never talk about people. We always say that they might have been victims of circumstance. We never say that they might have gone into the porn industry by choice. How unfair do you feel that we categorize porn stars as either as villains or vams or people who are victim of circumstance? Well, I think that for a country that has one of the largest consuming, you know, adult people who consume this material, I think it's really, really odd that people would think that way. But I think what, what people are missing is it's a very personal choice. We don't, we don't go, hey guys, guess what I did this morning? That doesn't happen. Right. Why is it important whether or not it's a personal choice? How is that significant? It was my personal choice to roll around in dog poo this morning, but it was my personal choice, guys. Don't judge me. It's not been ever. We don't talk about those things. It's a very personal thing for most people. Very personal. So I think that this is maybe your view or maybe the view of a very small percentage of people, but not the view of the mass majority of the entire world. Otherwise, it would be an industry that would be down the tubes and not flourishing. Greetings. Right, right, right. Hi. Hi. Sunny, the narrative regarding you has been very tricky. Your performances have been banned in the past. Politicians have objected that they have made a remark. There have been, every time there has been a major rape, your name has been somehow dragged into the controversy. Do you often feel victimized or being targeted for who you are? I don't see myself as a victim, but a soft target, maybe. I believe that people- Okay, from one point of view to another. And lawyers and environmental studies and all the other things that hold up construction or destruction of something. Anyway, there was no rush. There was no rush. And we have aerial photographs showing Triblinka being dismantled. So it was not pristine. The Nazis made an effort to erase Triblinka. Again, we have aerial photographs showing the erasure process. Foundation is removed, building is removed. And so I don't want to talk to these guys anymore. They're not even worthy of pitching me a question. These are people who don't read history books, don't know history, don't know dates, don't know anything. I had a guy- It's another thing that really compelled me to say I'm not talking to the Whackos anymore. The guy who came onto a thread, a Twitter thread with me and claimed that at no time were more than 300,000 Jews under Nazi occupation. So I was like playing along with these epistles because I want to just want to trap them. So I said, oh, really? That's fascinating. What's your proof? And he sends me a page from Jewish Population Demographic book. And it shows a number of, number of Jews in Europe, number of Jews under Nazi control, roughly 300,000. And he says, aha, see, see. And I look at the date of this particular demographic study that was released in May of 1941.  No. Is it really? So the date May 1941, and then what would happen one month later? You have no idea? See, never a history book has no idea what would happen right after May 1941 that would change the face of Europe. These people again, they're beneath me. They're just far too beneath me for me to acknowledge them. And so I'm just not going to do that again. Pyramid. Okay. Again, while when I do try to, you know, you guys who want to pontificate, you want to go on for 300 boards, I'm not going to read all of that. Try and try to be brief. To try to condense, Pyramid is asking, why is Hitler such a bad guy when other equally murderous or even more murderous people, Stalin, Mao, Genghis Khan, he cites, Vlad the Impaler are not considered as as inherently evil.  And there's some truth to that, of course, they goes beyond that.  What does that really mean to us? And half glacial says David Colestine is one of the funniest writers I've ever read. And Josh says, I want to party with this guy. Western holocausts aren't just more meaningful. Is this a dwarf I'd like to God forbid? To the West. But also, a great number of the deaths under Stalin and under Mao were due to famine, or people being sent to the gulags and dying there as exposure and other things. Hitler, by doing the whole premeditated murder thing, murder camps thing, he made himself look far more villainous, because he gave himself no plausible deniability. He couldn't blame it on famine. Like Mao, you talk to defenders of Mao and they point out, they point out, well, most of those deaths are famine, and people being executed, them pulling the back of the head, and then their families being charged for it, and now the famine. If a dictator can take that way out and say, you know, why did that was famine?  Man, I had my best to get them to produce, and then you have to go to a whole debate about collectivism, and bad farming policy, and Mao trying to rush along. And the chat says that Sunny Leone was really saying that right and wrong should be determined by the plebeian majority. She is a true Democrat. I notice that, yeah, when you can argue facts, you argue facts, like when you can argue with logic, you argue on the basis of logic, and when that doesn't work, maybe you'll argue, oh, what I'm, but I'm saying is, is legal. So I noticed many pornographers found moral justification in that. Speaking of Richard Spencer, this is the real Richard Spencer. They said that, hey, our industry is legal. Therefore, it's moral. Sit here. All right. I talk this guy. Hi, Mr. Nishid. Hello, Mr. Richard. How are you? How are you doing? Long time no hear. Well, have we ever spoken before? Yeah, you, yes, Richard, we've spoken before. You've been on one of my broadcasts. If this is the real Richard Spencer. This is the real Richard, yes, 100%. Yes, remember, we had a brief debate on one of my live streams a couple of years ago. Oh, okay. What were we talking about then? What were we talking about? You ran off the phone kind of quickly. So, yeah, I don't know what we're talking about, but it's online. You can find it online. Now, what's going on with you? They've had you in hiding. Where have you been? Well, I mean, I've kind of went against the Trump 2020 election, mainly. I don't think I'm in hiding. I'm just kind of doing my own thing and focusing on some other stuff at the moment, focusing on more intellectual stuff. I think the alt-right movement was pretty intellectually bankrupt, and I just want to be involved in things that are exciting and challenging to me and just tweeting about Trump and stuff just bores me to tears. So, I'm just focusing on other stuff, but I think that probably, I mean, it definitely is going to mean that I'm not in the spotlight, but that's good in a way. But I've been enjoying the conversation, actually. I just popped in kind of on a whim. It's late over here, but it's a very real conversation. Right, right. Now, how do you feel about reparations Richard? You're the one who really helped start the alt-right movement. I'm like, you could also be solely responsible for the alt-right movement. How do you feel about reparations for foundational black Americans? I think it's a good idea, and I understand where you're coming from. Yeah, I mean, I think a lot of the rhetoric against reparations is, I can agree with it here and there and so on, but I understand that when you could call it a crime, you could call it a trauma, it took place, and it's hard to put a monetary value on something like that, but it can be done and it just has to be done specifically. I think it's very difficult now with immigration and including African immigration. It would be difficult to say, are we just giving you money because you have a darker skin color, or is this a real thing that is about people? That's why we were making it lineage-based. We were making it based on people who were aggrieved here during slavery in America, people who were owed the 40 acres and a mule. Right. Yeah, so we made it very specific. Yeah, I agree with that, and I kind of I like the idea of, I don't know, it's paying off a debt. I think that's a much more serious way of thinking about something than just kind of buzz. And Half Glacier says, Richard Spencer and Claire Carr both are immensely aided by their speaking voices. The medium is the message. If they had Brooklyn accents, they'd both be in the proverbial gutter. There's words about diversity and so on. So yeah, I think it would be a better use of resources. Now, would you say this, if the debt were paid to have substantial amount, is that it? Is it a one-time thing or is it kind of an ongoing thing? It would be in the same vein of the Native American situation. It's kind of, if you agree with a group, you have to compensate them for the agreement, the slavery one-time thing. We look at slavery. That was a 400-year torture endeavor. It wasn't a one-off. So there has to be a lot of repair there to make things equitable. We have to make things equitable. I know when I spoke with you, I know you said you like power. You believe in winning. You can't live in a society where you feel like you're winning over another group in perpetuity because you would have to pay for that militarily. You can't pay for military subjugation because not only will that create hostility, the money is going to run out. And then what are you going to do? You're going to be back at square one. So it's just best to be equitable when dealing with people. Wouldn't that make sense, Richard? It makes sense. I mean, to put a little context around what I said, I think I'm sure I said something like that. I mean, one thing that I appreciate about you in this discussion is that it's serious advancement of your people. I think you understand where I'm coming from too when I say something about winning. It's a kind of a Trumpian way of basically saying that. So yeah, I mean, I get it. I think if I had suffered like you all had, I would have very similar feelings.  I live in Montana, as you might know. It's a different situation with the American, Indian or Native American. And it was dealt with in a very different way. The reservation system has some problems, but it is a continuing thing. I mean, when I drive through a reservation, it's very apparent where I am. They absolutely have a claim to a part of North America. Yes, they did. Well, they got a lot of land. They got a lot of casinos. So a lot of them are doing actually very well. Now, as far as a lot of stuff that's going on with your movement and a lot of movements of people, I would say on the far right, but even on the left, as you know, as many stories have come out, the numbers in the dominant society, white society, those numbers are dwindling. And I know that's a real legitimate concern for a lot of people who are part of your movement. And I don't dismiss that. That is a legitimate concern. What do you think should be done, or what could be done to help those numbers of those birth rates that's going on in your community? What legitimate tactics do you guys have? Or what would you wish to have in order to assist with your genetic lineage going? Because I think people deserve to have their genetic lineages go on.  If you want your lineage going, there are things that can be done to protect that to a certain degree without systematic oppression. Right. What do you think would work in your eyes? Well, it's interesting, because I mean, if we go back to the Trump era.    They look up and they'll face like mine, looking down at them.  We are going to destroy this fucking... Do Black Lives Matter to you? Do Black Lives Matter to you? Do Black Lives Matter to you? Do you want to pay homage to the memory of Ruth Bader Ginsburg? And we had actually, as fortuitous as it was, decided that our Haftara was going to be one that we pre-recorded. And so in a moment, you're going to see the link to go find it online. And if you want to watch the traditional version of our Haftara, you can of course go there rather than what we are about to do now. But what we are about to do is pay homage to a person that was a modern day prophet. The goal of the Haftara isn't just to add an extra section from Bible in. It is also more than anything else to acknowledge that there are people two thousand, three thousand years ago who were speaking out for justice. And we are blessed to have prophets in our world today. Prophets like Martin Luther King, prophets like Gandhi, and yes, prophets like Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I know many of you feel broken over her death for what she stood for, for what she did. And so the best way that we can honor her memory is to use her words. And so in a moment, we are going to chant the blessing before the Haftara, page 247. And then I'll invite you to listen. As in the traditional melody of the Haftara, we read a few key teachings. Ruth Bader Ginsburg's own word. Do Black Lives Matter to you? Do Black Lives Matter? Okay, sorry. Let's get a little bit more here from Richard. 2016 Trump, not the 2020 Trump. But the 2016 Trump, it was existential. And even notions like the wall, it was a kind of visual notion of we're going to protect white America effectively. And I do think that's how it resonated.  Do Black Lives Matter to you? Do Black Lives Matter to you? It's just somebody who's trying to empower the Black people. I think it could resonate with your community as well. But you know, at the same time, even long before the Trump move into 2016, I was relaying an important fact that is really undisputed, that can't be disputed. And that is that white America is going to end regardless of a wall, regardless of a total immigration shutdown. I mean, the majority of births are to non-white mothers as of 2011. So we're well past that. And we even have this kind of, you know, terrible situation now of immigration is kind of petering out. Okay, that's enough. Let's get some Kenneth Brown. In my video against Nick Fuentes, I brought up this point that conservatives, nationalist right-wingers, all of whom I am opposed to politically, I'm not opposed to them personally. I don't want to destroy them or bring sadism upon them or dox them or beat them in elections because I think, you know, the Democrat Party has a lot of the same ills. And not to get into that, but I do oppose them politically, and that needs to be clear. And if people don't understand that, they need to ask why. They need to ask themselves that when they're watching my videos. So the question was asked, if you critique other people's conception of political change, what is your conception? What is the mechanism of politics? If you don't believe that political change is random or chaotic or a product of the Caliuga or a product of entropy or a product of lowering IQs or a product of all these different things, like what do you think? If you don't think it's demographic decline, if you don't think it's the Jews, like what do you think? How did we get from the 1950s to the 1960s?  How do these changes happen? What are the mechanisms of politics? It's a very important question. I think it's a question we should always have in mind when we think about politics. We can't simply think about it in terms of what we want. You could sit around all day saying, I want money. I want money. I want money. But if you don't understand the mechanism of how to gain money, then you're lost.  You feel deprived. You don't have it. Same thing. I want women. I want money. I want power.  You want to feel satisfied. You want to feel happy. But if you don't understand the mechanism, then you'd be better off not wanting it at all. If anything, the desire to know more, the desire to understand the mechanism, should be taken seriously. What is the mechanism of politics? What are the mechanisms of political dynamics? How and why do politics change? Let me preface this. There are two ways. We could start from the most fundamental and work our way to the most superficial, or we could start from the most superficial and move to the most fundamental. In this video, I'm going to start with the superficial. You could start with the fundamental. The reason I'm ordering this presentation in this way is because I believe that if I start off by saying, well, it's ultimately religious and philosophical and spiritual, people will simply not believe me. Because even if you call yourself a traditional Catholic or a Christian or whatever, I find that these people implicitly don't believe in that. I find that there are a lot of people who implicitly have a Calvinist, materialist, Newtonian concept of how history works, and they do not actually, they are not metaphysical, they are not spiritual. They are secular, they are materialist, and that makes sense because that's what they grew up with. And so they can change the label as a big, forget you, to the establishment.  And maybe you already do believe that, and if you do, then we can get there, I just want to give a preface for the people who are having trouble getting there. So we'll start with economics. We could say that all political change is reducible to economic change. We could say that during the feudal era, if you are a Lord and you own 100 acres of land, and there are a thousand peasants, serfs, who you in a certain sense own them as slaves. The vast majority of people have always been some sort of slave, either a wage slave, a serf slave, some form of slavery, some form of fealty. You can call that a soft form of slavery. I think it's a spectrum. I don't think there's this hard dividing black and white line. I don't think when we abolished slavery in America as a title that we abolished the quality of slavery. So if you're a Lord with 100 acres and a thousand people and they're farming the land, what you want is you want as many people as possible to farm that land. Now ultimately, for every part of land, there is a carrying capacity. At the same time, there did exist mobility. If you were a serf and there was not enough land and too many people you could leave, you could go somewhere else. Now you wouldn't be free. You would still be under the fealty of whichever Lord. Okay, here's some of the commentary from Curious Gazelle. She says, Sunny Leone is cringe. Sunny needs to hire. Luke Ford is her script writer. I think Sunny means the highest porn consumption rate among adults in India. Sunny means right and wrong should be determined by the plebeian majority. She is a true Democrat. Is this Dilph porn, dwarf? I'd like to F. I think that was a comment aimed at David Kohl Stein. I believe David Kohl Stein was in the theater production called Snowflake, alt-right in the two Jewish dwarfs starring Richard Spencer, Robert Reich. Thank you so much. Curious Gazelle is a part of me in the show. Richard Spencer is running a, I can't say that, with the help of Tariq Nasheed, chief saucer. Any member of the alt-right with a black woman fetish, 50% of the proceeds go to Tariq Nasheed's nonprofit foundation. Is this a vow or just satire, please? Prophets or prophet? Come on, Luke, read my comments above David Kohl Stein above. I did, I did. Is this a change management consultant? This guy needs to quote Steve Benner more directly if he wants clout. According to Ben, we millennials are 19th century Russian serfs. Okay, I've been watching the excellent British TV show Fresh Meat. Just, wow, boy, did they get edgy. Just want to play a few brief excerpts if I can get away with it. Happened to own the plot of land you lived on. Some peasants went into the woods and became foragers and gatherers and whatnot. Some people moved into the merchant class or learned a skilled trade, et cetera, et cetera. But ultimately, if you are, a feudal lord, you want to maximize the number of people on your plot of land because overpopulation in an agricultural economy is a problem which solves itself. Because you're not in a consumer economy. It's not like people are constantly buying. So I'm watching Fresh Meat, season one, episode seven. And these two upper class guys are talking about how they're going to throw this amazing party.  H-M-O-N-G, how do you pronounce wrong? I got a disavow, but this is British TV. Wow. 2K? What? Is it like 2,000 pounds? I spoke decor. We're going to get canapes. Yeah, it's going to be rape. Yeah, well, I mean. It's going to be rape, right? This is a great party. It's going to be rape. I don't think they would say that on American TV. I don't think they could get away with it. Well, we're all putting in 2K for the VIP room. We're going to get bespoke decor. We're going to get canapes. Yeah, it's going to be rape. Yeah, well, I mean that sounds really rape.  It's got dad's funeral. Yeah, really annoying thing on Sunday. It's my dad's funeral. But I'm sure that party's just going to be totally rape. I know, cringe. Cringe. Yeah, it's a Sunday, so all the trains are a bit screwed, so it's going to be really hard for me to get back. Well, the club's cheaper on Sunday. I'm not having a go at Sundays. I absolutely love Sundays. What if we could get you back? Really? Wow, yeah. I mean, that would be immense. Totally rape. You've got 2K? Yeah, for she is. Okay, so this is too easy. Yeah? You put in the 2K, we razz you over there in my super impressed, get funeralised. Probably have some tunes on. Razz back for like nine, and you can still put in the 2K. Sweet. Sweet. Spud me up, bitches. Right, fine. Seems like quite a lot of Ks. Well, I asked to get the best, which I have done. Yeah, I mean, we want the best. I know I do. No, I definitely want the best. Come on, you want the best.  It's just that a K for some rope? Well, that's how much it costs to hire. We're not even buying it. Buying it's 5K. It's made from vacuna, which pisses all over the cashmere. Little money saving idea. I am more than happy to DJ. Thank you. And very generous. Obviously, staying at another K. Yeah, we do need someone to headline. And you could headline doing 5 AM. Yes, headlining. 5 AM. Wow, yeah. That'd be awesome. Okay, rape. What else, cunts? We haven't discussed wristbands. Toby, how much are wristbands? Those are. I can't find them. Are they going to be okay? One K for wristbands. Right? To have a totally rape party, you've got to have high quality wristbands, right? Can't just try to be cheap about this. We want to have something high quality. Okay, that's from the British TV show Fresh Meat season one episode seven. Disavow. Disavow. One day to start using an LGBTQ plus and anyone who asks what it means is immediately presumed to be in the out group. So it's not actually a word. Words are meant to signify meaning and communicate it to other people. No, it's not that at all. It's a litmus test. And you could fail. Oh, you don't know what LGBTQ plus means? Keep an eye on that person. Hates gays. But whatever. Don't ask questions. Corinne Jean-Pierre is our first out LGBTQ plus White House Press Secretary. And that's all you need to know. It's a good thing.  That's why she got the job. She's in the right group. And to the Biden administration, which thinks exclusively in terms of groups and never in terms of individuals, because individuals are messy and inconvenient, the group is all that matters. This is exactly how they pick Supreme Court justices or vice presidents or members of the Federal Reserve Board. And now the all important press secretary gig has gone to someone on the basis of group. It's really simple. Show us your picture and we'll tell you if you're qualified for the job. And in many ways, Corinne Jean-Pierre is perfect for the job. Not only is she a member of the out LGBTQ plus community, she's also critically the product of a private school and an Ivy League college and yet still oppressed somehow. She's furious at America despite her ample privilege and enraged by its racist systems of oppression. And she's happy to tell you about it. Here she is. When he got elected, I think people thought we were in a post-racial America and we were not. I think what we learned is that racism was very much real and still very much around.  I just think that America has a view of a race and it's very real. Yeah, they keep electing Obama and promoting me despite the fact that I have no qualifications for the job. Lesson, it's a racist country. Now there's a word for this kind of a clever term. It's called cry bullying, right? Stop hitting me. They say as they punch you in the face. Why do they do all they do? Because it works. You whine about racism and you get into the best schools, you get promoted and eventually run the federal government. And your presence atop the food chain is nothing if not evidence that the country is still racist. It has to be or you can't justify your job. Kind of an amazing scam. People like Karine Jean-Pierre have going. She's perfected. She used to work for MSNBC. She knows the script cold. Here she is in 2020 yelling some more about racism. Now if you imagine that COVID came from a lab in Wuhan, which by the way is true, then according to Karine Jean-Pierre, you're not a person trying to get to the truth. No. Can you guess what you are?  The easy pivot is race, is ethnicity. You say it's a foreign virus. I've noticed people tweeting Chinese coronavirus. That's what Tucker Crosser said. And you get Fox News. Fox News was racist before the coronavirus. They are racist. I'm not even going to be able to know which one we cream off of this. Whoa. Whoa. I mean, it's Rappie on Nadal's backhand. Nadal's backhand if he was in the final of Wankers. If he was in the final of the Wankers Wimbledon. Not going to be able to look at your strawberries and cream after this. Oh, he said to keep it on the down low, but you can't share this. It's a shizzle. Who is this freak? Okay. That TV show Fresh Meat season seven. Episode season one episode seven. In the entire history of Wanking. Thank you. I mean, this is the guy. The one, the noblest thing you've done in the history of Wanking. The wonderful Wizard of Wank. The full Wizard of Wank. Look, so he wanks. So what? Hey Rafa, who's this? Your boar boy. Just, just leave him alone. Oh, come on, man. Great stuff. Do Black Lives Matter to you? Do Black Lives Matter to you? Do Black Lives in white pieces? Okay, that's it. Bye-bye. Talk to you.
