Greetings to you my friends. It's me Duncan. This is the Duncan truss of family hour. Hello.
00:00:05
I want to say a big thank you a lot of you have been sending me really sweet messages telling me you enjoy these solo episodes and that makes me feel great
00:00:14
Because I feel a little insecure about doing them. I mean who the fuck do I think I am and
00:00:19
It occurred to me in the middle of the night when I woke up after a really bad dream that I should maybe and I don't think I should do this for every single one
00:00:27
But maybe point out how a lot of the things I'm talking about on these solo episodes are
00:00:32
clearly not fully
00:00:35
Developed ideas, but more of a way that I'm trying to in my own mind work out ideas that I have because
00:00:42
Every once in a while I just get some idea that I want to explore. I've got methods of doing that that are evolving. This is one of them
00:00:51
Also, I like sharing the ideas with you guys because your responses help develop the ideas point me in new directions and
00:00:58
Then I interact with chat GPT a lot when I come up with an idea and I'm trying to make them a little bit more organized because I
00:01:06
Recognized that I inevitably go off on a tangent and sometimes that tangent never returns to the original idea
00:01:15
So I'm working on that. I don't want to be hyper organized
00:01:18
But also it would be I think it probably feel better if the things were slightly more structured bottom line
00:01:26
Thank you for being part of my rambling attempt my
00:01:32
Stumbling towards some truth or realizing whatever my dumb idea was was actually just a dumb
00:01:38
idea and there's nothing there at all which to me is a delight that I feel like people have sort of
00:01:47
Unfortunately failed to recognize
00:01:49
It's double failure
00:01:52
Failure in trying to like propose some new idea or failure and putting your ass on the line
00:01:58
And then it turns out you're wrong. It's not really failure. You're your failure is helping all of us succeed by realizing you are you are totally fucking off and
00:02:08
That I think the most classic example of that that I'm seeing right now
00:02:14
In the on the internet is and I doubt we could show this because it's definitely like IP violation
00:02:21
But please check out there's an incredible
00:02:24
Clip floating around of that guy sink is that his name from the young Turks sink oonger or something?
00:02:31
I don't like it
00:02:33
And you all probably have heard of Alan Lickman
00:02:36
Alan Lickman, you know if you watch the William Montgomery episode, you know William has already had tension with Lickman
00:02:43
Alan Lickman is the
00:02:45
Originator of the keys that predict the election and
00:02:49
Lickman was wrong this time and there's just you know as we're watching the
00:02:56
side show of
00:02:59
Politics is probably every single one of you must be to some degree if you're not God bless you congratulations, but
00:03:07
One of the things that is happening is these sort of leftist
00:03:13
Spokespeople the priest class of the left and there's a priest class in the right too. I'm not trying to be
00:03:19
Partisan here. They're they're falling on themselves. They're attacking themselves. And I guess Lickman
00:03:24
Thought of himself as a sort of untouchable
00:03:28
Guru of the left like
00:03:31
impenetrable
00:03:33
That's not the right word. He's probably penetrable. I'm the
00:03:36
We all are hey we all are that's how God made us
00:03:41
Electrable, but sort of you weren't supposed to challenge Lickman because he actually did predict a bunch of elections
00:03:47
I think he predicted the Trump would win and so and not in this one
00:03:51
But because of you know his predictions were always accurate whenever he called it people freaked out because they're like oh for sure
00:03:58
They're gonna win and that
00:04:00
Could theoretically produce a sort of complacency in the
00:04:06
In that in the party that was predicted to win. And so this is an incredible clip. I may we can show I don't know the rules
00:04:13
Man, I got to figure this. I don't care. Let's just can you look up sync
00:04:17
C-E-N-K versus
00:04:21
Lickman peers Morgan
00:04:23
It's crazy to watch
00:04:26
I think I've seen other podcasts. They'll show a little bit of it and then you could just hear the audio or something
00:04:33
Is this it yeah
00:04:35
This is crazy to watch and this is a from Fox news. They've broken it down. Let's just watch it the clip and I don't know we'll figure out
00:04:42
What happens if I get in trouble?
00:04:44
You have to watch the commercial too
00:04:47
Like I'm the Fox you can't fucking skip mother fucker. You're gonna watch this new see it's an only epic series coming out the Saints Martin Scorsese
00:04:55
What the Fox nation
00:04:59
You made it uh professor Lickman before I told him his theories about the keys were absurd. I was right. He was wrong
00:05:07
I said he'd lose his keys
00:05:09
And that's a cheap shot and I won't stand for who want brother? Should not be taking cheap shots at me
00:05:16
Don't make it personal. I read your own
00:05:21
He didn't know
00:05:24
You attacked me personally. You're so deluded. I've only been a professional. I just 50 one year. I'm his program. I've never been able to finish. How many books have you published?
00:05:33
No, because you're personally attacked nerd fight say whatever you want, but I'm not saying brother. You got it wrong
00:05:41
Say you're constantly and stupidly wrong, so I will not sit here and say
00:05:46
For personal attacks for blasphemy against me
00:05:50
Blast for me. Guess you're hell or you're Jesus Christ. You could stop it. That is incredible. Now there is a
00:06:00
My like they're in psychology. There's something called leaking
00:06:06
And it's really interesting and all of us do it
00:06:09
It's where you accidentally reveal the thing that you think about yourself that you'd never wanted anyone to know and that's a case of leaking
00:06:18
Lichtman leaked that in the term blasphemy
00:06:22
That he considers himself to be you know when I think of blasphemy
00:06:27
most people in general like imagine divinity, sainthood, a kind of mystical position, a shamanic sort of political position
00:06:36
And when lickman says blasphemy that means he thinks of himself as something that can be blasphemed against and also he sort of articulating
00:06:45
Um a general
00:06:48
Sort of political idea, which is that you by uttering the wrong thing
00:06:54
You are blaspheming. It's not just your it's an ad hominin attack. This is
00:07:03
fucking like spitting on a cross and in this case, Lichtman, I guess was the crucifix
00:07:11
That the left crucified themselves on
00:07:15
And and um but also I do want to say like
00:07:21
And this is me just being a complete naive
00:07:26
dumb shit, but I
00:07:29
It's fun as it is to watch like a nerd squabble. I mean, I think if you wanted to break it down
00:07:35
That's what you're looking at there. It's the squabbling of nerds and there's nerds on the right. There's any political button is
00:07:41
In nerd not only nerd in a bad way. I mean like if you're you know, I'm into um
00:07:46
hearthstone. I love it
00:07:49
I'm a nerd. That's a nerd thing and if I got in a hearthstone argument
00:07:53
That would be a nerd argument and so what you're seeing there is like essentially nerd squabbling
00:07:59
Or another way to put it would be like it's no different than like people who are in the baseball squabbling over some idea
00:08:05
Of who it's gonna win the world series. It's just a squabble of nerds and
00:08:11
That's a cool name for it. I don't know what they a group of nerds is called but I think we should start calling it a squabble
00:08:16
and so um
00:08:19
and
00:08:20
You know, there's something like weird weirdly sweet
00:08:23
You in lickman, you know what I mean? There's something pathetically sweet or something
00:08:28
I mean it's he's been destroyed defeated absolutely now as keys people question the keys
00:08:33
That was never before he lost a lot of power and but also what you're seeing there is
00:08:40
You know the the losing political side falling on itself because they they they they the
00:08:46
Attacking the other side has become a secondary consideration now they're attacking each other blaming each other
00:08:52
It's your fault. It's your fault. It's your fault. You thought this. I thought that I was right. You're wrong
00:08:57
And so it's just wild to watch and it's really fucked up because like my god
00:09:03
They've got really sharp things like and swords and they've been sharpening their fucking swords
00:09:07
I would no one would want to be on the receiving end of that blade and now to watch them like essentially
00:09:13
Turn the blade on themselves
00:09:16
do this kind of like
00:09:18
self-mutilation
00:09:20
Is just great crazy to watch and still sad. There's still missing the point like it's that's the strangest thing of all is
00:09:28
It's like dude don't turn the fucking blade on yourselves
00:09:31
The very same blade you turned on the right
00:09:35
That caused you to lose the election all your power
00:09:39
The blade is the problem friends stop put put put in the fucking sheath
00:09:45
Be civil with each other you know, it's funny. I mean, I'm glad that happened. It's hilarious
00:09:49
Oh, yeah, before I get into what I want to talk about today. I want to show you something Josh. This is fucking weird um
00:09:55
so
00:09:58
You know, obviously
00:10:03
I I don't want anything fucking mailed to my house that isn't from like Amazon or something I ordered and I got
00:10:10
Something really unnerving
00:10:13
Since miles I want to show you. It's from a fan. Don't know no idea. No idea
00:10:19
Um, and then and I'll show you why I have no idea
00:10:22
Oh a box of cassette tapes um
00:10:29
uh like
00:10:34
Oh, I'm just grabbing one out weird stickers on it and shit
00:10:37
It says shake it up and it's got numbers on the back. It's unnerving. It's like
00:10:42
It's definitely like not as not made my wife happy. Um, listen to anyone. I don't have a cassette player. Oh, so I fucking can
00:10:52
Um, but I'm gonna get one
00:10:55
Eventually I'm this is the holidays are coming up so I'll have to wait but yeah box of fucking weird cassette tapes
00:11:00
and um
00:11:02
The whole box is cassette tape. Yes
00:11:04
Bill and all of them with weird fucking like stickers
00:11:09
What's Jesus is that Jesus? I hope so but regardless there's
00:11:16
Like fucking a lot of weird shit in there. I mean, I like
00:11:20
Yeah, so the reason I
00:11:23
uh, we will I mean, I wanted to show them on this whole episode
00:11:26
But the reason I brought them here is also because my wife's like give them the fuck out of the house
00:11:30
See bottom here. I appreciate it
00:11:32
Sorry
00:11:34
But I don't want to throw them away. Yeah, she wants me to throw them away. I'm gonna find a tape pair. I'm gonna listen to something. Would you please? Yeah
00:11:40
Um, that would be awesome. I
00:11:42
Yeah, I mean
00:11:45
Yeah, what it definitely is like
00:11:47
It you know like these things pop up on reddit um
00:11:53
Someone's in their house they find a like a safe
00:11:59
and
00:12:01
You know they want to open the fucking safe and then the the thread never pops up again
00:12:07
You're just left with this feeling of like what's in the fucking safe and that is kind of how I feel right now
00:12:13
But because we're all about to go out of town and I'm trying to get a bunch of podcasts done and I've been on the road
00:12:19
I just don't have time to like go and find a fucking cassette player. Yeah. Yeah, I don't for um
00:12:24
I don't know they came
00:12:29
See just went to Chicago like right before I went to Chicago. They showed up
00:12:34
You know been sitting in my car. Yeah
00:12:36
And they now they're here with you they they they must have spent a pretty penny to send them because that's a big box
00:12:43
It's a big fucking that's yeah, right. There's a lot of like I certainly
00:12:46
um
00:12:49
Understand why Aaron doesn't want them at the house and why she's upset about it because it's like
00:12:55
It's truly the last thing that you would want and and also it is addressed to me
00:13:00
Yeah, how do they know your address? That's the problem
00:13:02
That's what you don't like. I mean it's creepy. It's it's it's it's creepy when you get like nice things to your address
00:13:08
Yeah from people that you that you didn't know how to address
00:13:10
But it's obviously even more creepy when you get a fucking box of
00:13:15
Weird his set tapes
00:13:19
with weird stickers
00:13:21
writing and
00:13:25
art on them
00:13:27
If I was single it would be the coolest fucking thing ever
00:13:30
Yeah, when you have kids. It's like a whole different ball wax. So you open it up. It has fentanyl or something
00:13:36
I even think of that. I'm gonna wear gloves that I open it. Oh, that's a good and bad thing again. It's like yeah like it
00:13:42
Yeah, I don't know man. It's
00:13:45
It's a true curiosity, but yeah, if you have access to a cassette player
00:13:50
I imagine they're not that hard to find. I just like get on it. I was wanting to think
00:13:54
Then yeah, well, we should like
00:13:56
play some
00:13:58
Next-all episode or something. Oh, yeah. See what's on there. You know what don't listen just
00:14:03
Yes, we'll do it live
00:14:06
All right, we'll do a live and it's probably just my guess would be it's just like music and or something. So it's this guy's mixed tape his whole
00:14:13
freaking
00:14:16
Whole collection of all the songs he's ever made dude. That would be the funniest shit of all time, but I don't know. We'll find out
00:14:24
Okay
00:14:26
Here is what I want to talk about today. This is something that has been going through my head for a while now
00:14:31
It actually connects to the lickmanship sadly. It is does have a political component to it, but not a partisan component to it
00:14:38
Just an analysis and I've been thinking about it a lot. So I even made a title card
00:14:45
Today's topic
00:14:50
Monic possession
00:14:52
um, and that kill Roy was here. I put her I forgot to put the young but um
00:14:59
Basically that uh
00:15:02
That's a meme
00:15:05
Um, it was showing up in restrooms for a long time and so
00:15:08
All right, you can take that shit down whatever that so this is something that
00:15:15
Is really caught my attention lately and um
00:15:20
Before I show it to you. I like
00:15:22
Ink somehow if you're not familiar with the
00:15:26
Like origination of meme the term meme. Do you know anything about where that term came from? No
00:15:31
So that came from Richard Dawkins and he's the one in coin the term
00:15:35
meme
00:15:37
Basically is a kind of like unit of cultural data, right? And so a meme is not just like an image a meme could be anything
00:15:46
It's a it's a it's a symbol set and it's viral in nature, right? So a meme has a viral quality and
00:15:52
in its viral quality
00:15:54
There's a lot of aspects to it that like almost seem like it's alive. So like memes
00:16:00
They want to propagate they depend on propagation to
00:16:04
Exist if like people stop sending the meme around the meme dies. There is no more meme
00:16:10
It political ideas would you could actually call them memes or turns of phrases that show up in politics
00:16:16
Would be considered a meme so when you start hearing people
00:16:20
vocalizing sentences
00:16:23
That are political in nature and are identical across whoever's saying it for example
00:16:30
Crisis at the border. This is a meme crisis of the what I'm not talking about whether it's true or not sure
00:16:36
I'm saying the term itself is a meme and the people on the left will say it people on the right will say it but it's an echoing kind of thing that
00:16:44
propagates
00:16:47
From person to person and it lives in human mind. So it a meme will nest in your brain and
00:16:54
um
00:16:56
It seeks to replicate. It is also subject to natural selection. So memes
00:17:03
uh
00:17:04
Evolve memes adapt adjust to the environment and all of the adaptation and the adjustment is
00:17:12
Survival-based the it has to adapt in ways that make sure that it keeps going and so
00:17:19
Pepe oh yeah pepe is a classic example. There's lots of memes that are going strong
00:17:26
Socrates play dough like these things from a long time ago. You could argue Christianity
00:17:34
From this perspective any world religion is a as a meme that
00:17:38
um has a mechanism of propagation that usually is a story built into at least when it comes to
00:17:44
Religion right. I mean if you look at Christianity as a meme which I'm sure
00:17:48
I know I didn't read the selfish gene which is where the term meme came from
00:17:53
uh
00:17:55
I'm sure dockets would say Christianity is a is an incredible meme in the sense that
00:18:01
It's mechanism of propagation is the story the story invites a kind of missionary you must
00:18:06
Spread the word of God and also built into the meme is
00:18:12
It's scary if you don't accept Jesus hell awaits meaning it's got things that meme has fangs and so it's that meme is like
00:18:20
It's it's rolling. I mean, I'm looking at it purely from like a dockets atheist perspective which I don't want to reduce it to that because I don't
00:18:29
necessarily believe that but just from that perspective Christianity meme and they're becoming cryptos
00:18:35
Like pepe is a crypto currency worth a billion now. It's crazy. There you go
00:18:39
like me and memes that's that's an interesting point because
00:18:44
memes
00:18:48
They
00:18:49
The mechanism of propagation of the memes is increasing in the sense that
00:18:54
You know if you the kill Roy was here the dude peering over the mechanism of propagation was bathroom walls
00:19:00
Right, that was pretty much it. It's a limited mechanism of propagation
00:19:03
You guys you could draw it on a wall anywhere. I draw it on your paper whatever
00:19:06
um
00:19:08
Another meme which is really interesting is that we are diamond shape kids would draw on their notebooks
00:19:14
You know I'm talking about that was a meme. There's certain things kids draw that show up over and over micro memes happen
00:19:21
uh
00:19:22
In like you know elementary schools kids will a contagion of some certain meme will show up or kids are like saying the same thing
00:19:29
Minions speak
00:19:31
Yeah, you know kids talking like the minions papay day yet could date that's a meme
00:19:36
They could spread through um
00:19:39
Children children and god adults aren't doing that
00:19:43
But it's it's a meme. It's the most annoying thing when your kids were calling me they're like they're acting sus
00:19:49
And I was like don't say that there you go you cannot say that the meme
00:19:52
It means suspicious. I was like not in my generation. It means something different
00:19:55
Don't ever call your debts. Yeah, or bro
00:19:58
I got there was a parent telling me their kids start calling her bro, which is really funny, but so um
00:20:04
That's what a meme is right and so now I wonder uh if you could pull up
00:20:11
Symptoms of demonic possession because today I want to talk about momonic possession, which is pretty much the same thing
00:20:17
So let's pull up one of the signs from Quora
00:20:21
Oh
00:20:23
This episode of the DTFH has been brought to you by vb health creators of
00:20:41
Lord Boost. Yeah, sure the world can try to get you it can try to reduce your loads
00:20:53
Sometimes it feels like there's a general conspiracy
00:20:57
And you get older something just maybe in the night
00:21:01
Draining your loads that you can't see some horrible load fairy that that
00:21:09
Heliports into your balls and with a gross
00:21:13
Bucket and just buckets away your jizz and then when it lasts you finally have an orgasm
00:21:19
It's just a sad dribble where there used to be a nihaggress of jizz
00:21:27
Well, not anymore. Thanks to Lord Boost
00:21:34
I've tried it. It works
00:21:38
I don't know why I'll tell you what the why they say it works
00:21:42
Uh, it's got pygium zinc

Great Christmas gift for the parents
00:22:58
Okay, this is funny. I think we'll have to go somewhere else if I just want to read this because it looks cool
00:23:18
I was the victim of witchcraft
00:23:21
It felt like an ailment like an illness. I was having I couldn't get up from bad
00:23:25
I was always sleeping seem like I had depression
00:23:28
Person who did rich craft on me was a man from my community college studies
00:23:32
I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna put a spell on you the person who did witchcraft
00:23:38
I remember he attacked my mind. He got into my mind. I started hearing voices
00:23:43
I had headaches and vomited a lot nobody believes in witchcraft. I do
00:23:47
Seems people are skeptical about the devil
00:23:50
Everyone seemed to abandon me due to what I was having I found a girlfriend online and her prayers help me regain strength and faith in god
00:23:57
I went to see a priest they didn't believe I was bewitched
00:23:59
So I went to see a psychiatrist due to voices and they diagnosed me with schizophrenia
00:24:04
I was taking medication for schizophrenia, but the symptoms didn't go away. I was dealing with suicidal thoughts
00:24:08
One time I was watching a YouTube video about schizophrenia and I saw a comment the guy said god removed his schizophrenia anyway
00:24:15
Okay, that was just interesting. That is by the way a certified nurse assistant
00:24:20
So you don't end up with her in your fucking room
00:24:26
Yeah, let's look up on what reddit Christianity
00:24:28
And it really connects with ligmin. Yeah, right there. Let's pull that up
00:24:34
In the sense that ligmin said blaspheme
00:24:37
Let that baby load up
00:24:40
Yeah, no, I read it's going so slow. That's weird. Probably the fucking cables that got cut
00:24:45
There we go
00:24:49
Okay, let's scroll down to clear problem 959-0
00:24:52
He says if someone who has been demon possessed I can name some sentence for you
00:24:56
Hearing voices and having thoughts that blaspheme holy things their persons
00:25:01
Synch is clearly possessed the blaspheme ligmin
00:25:05
Seeing things that others cannot see usually even evil nature
00:25:08
Feelings rage that appear to come out of nowhere often with the intent of harming oneself or others
00:25:13
Feelings wanting to commit heinous acts that don't come from the self
00:25:17
Inability to control your thoughts and or actions knowing things about the future and others
00:25:23
Don't or cannot know hatred or fear of children and animals
00:25:26
inability to read the Bible without the mind wandering or feeling hatred
00:25:31
Intense debilitating fear or hatred when choosing to do good excessive narcissism now this is
00:25:39
Pretty much the symptoms of demonic possession and Christianity now not all of those
00:25:45
fit in to
00:25:49
what many of us have seen
00:25:52
Happening politically to people, but I think you could argue
00:25:56
Quite a few of those show up go back through it again
00:26:01
specifically intense debilitating
00:26:05
Fear or hate wait go back
00:26:09
Knowing things about the future that others don't or cannot know now. Let's talk about that
00:26:13
And again this
00:26:17
Let me just say right off. I am not saying that if you have become
00:26:22
politicized you are possessed by a demon
00:26:26
I'm just saying there are characteristics
00:26:29
That you are exhibiting that interestingly enough
00:26:33
match the symptoms of demonic possession
00:26:38
And also, I'm not saying that demonic possession is a reality. I'm using this as a structure
00:26:45
A lens to look through a fun way of looking out at the world
00:26:50
Whether it's true or not who gives a fuck and I'm not going to go on a tangent about chaos magic
00:26:55
But that sort of an implicit thing within it is like it doesn't mat yet. Is there a Wolverine in real life?
00:27:02
No, I wish there was
00:27:05
But could you theoretically channel
00:27:08
The personality spirit of Wolverine could you actually be a some bizarre ritual
00:27:16
Bring all that
00:27:18
aggression bravery wildness into your own life
00:27:23
Yes, you could therefore the existence or non-existence of an entity is irrelevant to the
00:27:30
effect
00:27:33
It has in the direct moment to
00:27:37
exert your will in the world meaning you can actually so you don't just need to summon angels demons
00:27:44
You could summon Wolverine if you wanted to as ridiculous as that sounds so
00:27:49
And the less woo woo version of that would be pump up music like
00:27:55
You know if you have some music you like to listen to when you're going to the gym or when you're down or you need some energy
00:28:01
You need to feel better you could say this is a ritual you are summoning an energy
00:28:06
Via like the music and the words and the music it's a summoning ritual you are invoking an entity which is
00:28:14
The entity of enthusiasm ambition
00:28:17
Fearlessness. It's the identical thing except instead of using music you would be using symbols
00:28:22
The symbol could be Jesus the symbol could be
00:28:25
Batman symbol could be
00:28:27
Arnold Schwarzenegger the symbol could be
00:28:33
Gargamel from the smurf so I have no idea what that would do for you ritualistically the point being
00:28:39
When I'm saying these things, I'm not literally
00:28:43
implying we're saying
00:28:45
Hyperdimensional entities have attached themselves to people though. I'm not saying it's not possible
00:28:49
I don't know and I'm definitely not saying that some the left or the right have all been possessed by
00:28:55
demons and and but
00:28:58
It's fun to use these pre-existing frameworks as a lens to look at things which I think or when you're in a
00:29:05
Swirl of tumult and confusion
00:29:09
That's a good thing is to find a new way of looking at it to sort of extricate yourself from the situation and to turn that lens on yourself
00:29:17
fearlessly to see where you fit in there, but also
00:29:21
hatred and or fear of children and animals now I
00:29:27
want to
00:29:31
point out of a fashionable sort of
00:29:36
cultural idea that is alive and well in the world right now which is
00:29:41
Maybe not necessarily a hatred of children, but certainly a fear of breeding like there is a you know
00:29:49
I mean an anti natalist movement now if you go to any of the
00:29:53
subreddits that are
00:29:55
Focusing on those ideas inevitably you will find I just fucking hate kids
00:30:00
There is a general sort of like and I you know
00:30:04
I remember prior to breeding
00:30:06
the sense of just
00:30:09
Absolute annoyance when a baby would start crying
00:30:13
Oh my god or a baby comes on the plane and you're like mother fuck that
00:30:18
There's a it's a meat air siren that I'm about to fucking hear for this whole fucking bite
00:30:26
Uh, but then you have kids in your immune system for like
00:30:31
Shit like that is so much stronger so I don't give a fuck a kid could scream
00:30:36
For an entire flight and it will not impact me the way it used to other than just like feeling for the parents
00:30:42
You know like it just sucks for the parents because they feel guilty, but
00:30:45
That actually happened on a flight is the coolest thing ever. We wasn't cool because
00:30:49
My little girl was it just decided to whale through the flight and sometimes there's nothing you could do and
00:30:57
We're trying everything you know their ears pop. It's just weird. The whole situation is bizarre brand new. It's loud
00:31:04
I think maybe they're like feeling shit that we've learned to tune out or something. I don't know, but
00:31:11
We know the like the plane lands we feel bad for the people in front of us
00:31:16
We're apologizing. It was the most amazing thing everyone was like it's fine. We're parents
00:31:25
We get it. It was really cool. I totally misjudged people, but
00:31:29
Definitely I used to be the dick on the plane
00:31:32
mad at the baby and
00:31:34
So I get it the point being this sort of like
00:31:39
Feeling of revulsion when it comes to
00:31:45
Children having children
00:31:49
reading
00:31:51
Interestingly enough
00:31:53
Fits in at least in this person's description of demonic possession something we just pulled up, but I've read that in other places too
00:31:59
Feeling to rage that appear to come out of nowhere
00:32:04
Dude, I guess you could say that like the the rage coming out of the losing political group right now is not necessarily coming out of nowhere
00:32:13
But it does appear that the people are experiencing bouts of rage here and there that are like unbridled and uncontrollable
00:32:22
um
00:32:24
um
00:32:26
Feelings of wanting to commit heinous acts that don't come from the self
00:32:29
Now this again, I've seen like lots of shit of you know people saying they're gonna start poisoning men and shit like kill like
00:32:38
excessive narcissism
00:32:41
You know like the the a lot of times when you're seeing the vocalization of like horror over what has happened
00:32:50
It feels there's some sense of self involvement in the horror that his camera has been set up for the nervous breakdown the
00:32:56
lighting is right for the nervous breakdown the
00:32:59
Setting up the camera to film
00:33:02
You telling your child that the bad man won
00:33:06
You know what I mean those are fucked up but because it's like you know if you're if your family is aligned in some political way
00:33:16
And you have included your poor fucking child in American politics which
00:33:20
Jesus Christ. Why would you do that to the poor kid?
00:33:24
It's like when I was a kid
00:33:27
Jesus I'm so glad my parents didn't do that to me, you know, and if they did I don't remember it but
00:33:33
The point is like the kids have enough to worry about they're learning how to walk talk that alpha baton shit
00:33:40
They don't need to like be suddenly like confronted with the idea that the antichrist is risen the power
00:33:44
They certainly aren't going to have any impact on whatever happens because of that so I feel bad for those kids but
00:33:50
but you know
00:33:53
Who the fuck am I to say like a hate parenting like advice and shit like do your thing you're a parent the part where it gets narcissistic is when you set the fucking camera up
00:34:02
For the a talk that should be personal not necessary. You're filming your child's dismay
00:34:12
It's fucked up. It's narcissistic if you ask me. There's a narcissism there. You're not doing it
00:34:16
the agenda there is not necessarily
00:34:20
based on like
00:34:25
break in the news to your kid
00:34:27
But also showing everyone
00:34:30
You're breaking the news to your kid. It's narcissism right so
00:34:34
It's the social credit. It's not about being right. It's about the parents of looking right. It's transactional. Yep
00:34:41
You are getting
00:34:43
Yeah, you're getting likes views you're getting this you know, there's a quantification of the event the agenda is to quantify the event online
00:34:50
Really fucking weird really narcissistic by the way. Don't forget to like and subscribe
00:34:55
And here's a word from our sponsors
00:35:01
so um
00:35:04
It gets really interesting when you start thinking about
00:35:10
People who have become politicized as being possessed
00:35:19
By memes. It's a mnemonic possession. Are they possessed by an entity? No
00:35:26
Are they possessed by a set of ideas that they have begun to conflate with their own identity?
00:35:35
Absolutely these now I think it's good to sort of point out well what ideas like what how what is an original idea?
00:35:44
And I don't know. I don't know. I mean if you're when you're taught any language
00:35:50
Based within that language is its own meme set its own sort of
00:35:57
idea of how reality works there there's words in
00:36:02
German that aren't in English there's words in Spanish that aren't in German and those words point to a kind of human experience that minus the word
00:36:12
It's not like like shodden Freud being the classic one joy at another sorrow, right like that's they're there really isn't a word like that in English
00:36:23
but the moment the word comes into being you can sort of
00:36:28
categorize or quantify an aspect of being human it gives you a way of understanding of feeling that maybe you are just putting it into the category of
00:36:37
you know anger or it it it it becomes like a
00:36:44
more specific
00:36:49
Shade of anger
00:36:54
So anyway the point is when you start thinking about
00:36:58
And again not just in the politics like if you fashion
00:37:03
We have fashion trends all of a sudden people have started
00:37:06
The tight pants are out loose pants are in hairstyles are out hairstyles are it
00:37:12
This this is a meme that is adopted in mass and produces a fashion trend and
00:37:22
It's a big business
00:37:24
Supposedly like people from the big fashion houses like go out and try to look at what is coming they try to predict what's coming
00:37:30
and sometimes they try to move the needle forward a little bit too to
00:37:34
You know add their own take on things there's a collaborative sort of thing happening there so
00:37:40
when you start
00:37:43
thinking about
00:37:46
politicized people as having inside of them a bundle of ideas they have the intent of propagating
00:37:56
It's like how they say a virus isn't
00:38:03
even alive
00:38:05
Is a meme alive it wants to reproduce
00:38:08
It depends on the human biome to exist within but is it actually a living thing probably no more than like
00:38:15
It's not like when you get a cold it's not like
00:38:18
It's not like the cold virus is like I'm gonna fuck this motherfucker up
00:38:25
Just running a code basically. It's just a loop that's gotten into your
00:38:30
It's hijacked your DNA exploited
00:38:33
Your DNA is living inside of you and wants to propagate every time you sneeze so
00:38:38
It really gets weird when you start looking at it from this perspective because
00:38:45
This is where I would say you get into
00:38:50
You move from meme to Edgar Gore now an Edgar Gore is
00:38:56
I like for the case of what I'm trying to ramble about here and an Edgar Gore is like
00:39:03
Something that only exists within the minds of people, but has a real personality
00:39:08
And the classic example being like Santa Claus right like Santa Claus right now exists
00:39:14
In the psyche of countless children
00:39:18
um
00:39:20
And for kids who are watching also in the North Pole, but
00:39:23
But where he's busily making toys
00:39:28
But the Edgar Gore
00:39:31
Is this projection that can that you don't necessarily see in reality, but you do see
00:39:38
Symbols of the Edgar Gore you see like drawings of
00:39:41
Bigfoot of the gray alien of the so
00:39:44
It's an Edgar Gore it's a kind of entity and so if you start looking at the
00:39:51
political Edgar goers
00:39:54
um
00:39:55
Then it gets really interesting when you can identify
00:40:00
Not just a behavior set like what the Edgar Gore would be and honestly I we have an Edgar Gore for Santa Claus
00:40:07
We don't really have an an Edgar Gore for the left or the right, but you could
00:40:13
Take the way people on the left dress and the things they say in the way the babe and the way people on the right
00:40:18
dress and the things they say in the way the babe
00:40:21
And from that extract an actual entity of being a creature that
00:40:28
Has a predictable set of bavors and not just that a predictable look
00:40:34
Could you pull up what I call the Maddow memeplex
00:40:39
Mm-hmm
00:40:41
This episode of the DTFH it's brought to you
00:40:57
by better
00:40:59
help
00:41:00
All the days are here and for a lot of us that means feeling like a bug smashed upon the materialist
00:41:08
Corporatist consumerist windshield of modern day life. What is this
00:41:14
Festival of horror
00:41:17
Disguising itself as something spiritual
00:41:21
Why am I here? What are these commercials? What am I becoming?
00:41:27
You need something in the midst of all that
00:41:29
Madness
00:41:31
To find some comfort maybe a
00:41:33
Hot cup of chocolate
00:41:36
Or a soft blanket to wrap around your trembling body
00:41:40
Anything to the swage that existential shutters of pure horror as you
00:41:47
Sit on that fragile egg shell perched above
00:41:52
The vortex of unexplored emotions and thoughts that swirl below
00:41:57
Constantly threatening to suck you and your hot cocoa and that blanket
00:42:03
Down into a dark dark depression
00:42:06
This is why therapy's great you really need to crack through the egg shell
00:42:11
Have the courage to go into the darkness and confront the very thing
00:42:17
That is making your holidays feel like you're in some kind of
00:42:22
Dark existential one-man show my friends. I speak from experience
00:42:29
The holidays used to be hell for me. Hell
00:42:32
Horrible
00:42:34
Those were the drinking days those were the days where you just hold up and wait for it to end
00:42:39
You become the much maligned
00:42:42
Grinch which is a representation as far as I was concerned back then if someone who hadn't been indoctrinated
00:42:48
Into the system man
00:42:50
Well as it turns out it was actually
00:42:53
Completely unresolved issues from my childhood that I didn't want to deal with and therapy
00:42:59
Helped so much listen. There's no shame in getting
00:43:04
An ally to go into the dark cave where the growling thing you can't remember keeps growling it you in the middle of the night
00:43:12
Do I love Christmas music now? No
00:43:16
Not necessarily, but I can look at a Christmas tree without wanting to down a bottle of vodka
00:43:24
And that's pretty great. I enjoy Christmas now and I know that sounds absolutely insane
00:43:30
And I'm not telling you if you go to therapy. You're gonna enjoy Christmas
00:43:33
I mean let's face it. It is a
00:43:34
Garrish annoyance that seems to be thrust upon us by strangers
00:43:38
But at least you don't have to go through your holidays with that dark sense that you're about to be pulled out by some emotional undertow and do an ocean of pure depression
00:43:48
If you're thinking of starting therapy give better help but try

00:44:20
You know, this is really fascinating to me
00:44:38
um in the sense that what we're seeing here is
00:44:42
like
00:44:46
Like not just like you know a similarity in glasses. It's the glasses though. Somehow or like a dog whistle
00:44:53
Like the glasses I didn't like look at the similarity in glasses
00:44:58
Isn't that fucking weird? Am I just seeing that?
00:45:01
Doesn't that seem like the say like it's essentially the same kind of glasses. It's like this
00:45:06
You know, I don't know what the name of that glasses style is
00:45:11
but
00:45:13
It shows up across the board and then it's the pink hair
00:45:17
The blue hair the purple hair. You know, it's the dyed hair and
00:45:23
Weirdly it's almost like facial structure
00:45:27
That's where it gets fucking weird to me is like and I don't know if I'm just seeing it or not, but like dude
00:45:34
You know now, you know, it's like you know that thing where they say like
00:45:38
You start looking like your dog. Yeah
00:45:43
And you're like I was that true. How could that be? Is it am I looking like my dog is my dog looking like me
00:45:48
Another way to put it is where like
00:45:51
Attention goes energy flows
00:45:53
Like if you become so consumed by any given memeplex
00:45:58
The sum total of all memes in any category is it possible? It actually changes facial structure
00:46:07
Yes, because of the way it's a lot of
00:46:10
And they pushed their chin back and of shock and so it free just so happy people
00:46:14
You can tell they're happy because they have these smile lines
00:46:16
Dude because okay, whoa, that's so weird because it's going to create
00:46:23
Not just a way you dress, but an actual way of
00:46:27
Expressing yourself facially a breathing pattern
00:46:31
It would shape facial structure. South breathers
00:46:35
Dude, I can always tell when all ladies mean because she has these frown lines right here
00:46:40
So even when she's not frowning she still has them wow or she lost a lot of weight one of the two wow
00:46:46
So so that that's where it gets really interesting and I I'm sorry
00:46:51
Did this last man? I was trying to put together the memeplex for the right, but it's certainly out there
00:46:56
I'm afraid that I might actually somewhat fit into that and that is not because I'm necessarily aligning with one of the other
00:47:03
But just because like I got the beard and the shaved head. Yeah, so dude. I got like I just didn't have time to put it together
00:47:09
But I did start and
00:47:11
Because I think that's another important thing
00:47:14
This is not
00:47:17
An energy cannon being fired at one side this is a more distinct look. I think you could argue and it's easier to find
00:47:26
But I'm happy I would be happy for someone to put together the
00:47:31
memeplex for there's many of them for the right many many different ones for the left too, but
00:47:35
I think it's really important to turn this on yourself
00:47:39
that's my point is like
00:47:41
if you have become consumed with politics
00:47:45
To the point where you're changing the way you dress
00:47:49
To identify with the team that you're on your hairstyle your glasses style and the way you're expressing yourself
00:47:58
I think it's a good thing to know that just to look into that and ask yourself
00:48:03
How much of these thoughts ideas ways of expressing myself are legitimately me and how much of them
00:48:11
Did I invite into my psyche and they began to propagate within my own mind and tricked me into thinking
00:48:19
This is me and that works for any memeplex right left
00:48:24
Christian and Buddhist whatever the fuck it is
00:48:29
It's a I think a really worthwhile thing to interrogate oneself to try to
00:48:35
Get a sense of how much of the way you're behaving is an original behavior or even it doesn't have to be original
00:48:44
But is rooted in your past your direct experience is reality
00:48:49
And how much of the way you're behaving is related to being impregnated with memes via
00:48:55
mainstream media
00:48:58
TikTok
00:49:00
Instagram whatever it's a good thing to know like if I
00:49:04
It you know out of your in Texas, dude God help you if you have a fucking puddle in your yard
00:49:11
Is that puddle is gonna fill with mosquito larva and you're gonna have mosquitoes all over your fucking yard
00:49:17
So you have to be hyper aware of like places where
00:49:20
mosquito spawn
00:49:24
garbage cans Jesus Christ that was one of my
00:49:26
Wonderful dad moment is when one of our garbage cans filled with maggots
00:49:30
And I got to show my boys just to just a fucking mass of wriggling maggots their minds were blown. It's disgusting
00:49:38
but you know the human mind
00:49:41
is
00:49:44
fertile breeding ground for memes and
00:49:49
Knowing that you want to make sure that the memes you're inviting in to your mind are
00:49:57
Something you want breeding in your psyche you don't want memes in there that are gonna fuck you up and
00:50:09
The other thing to think about when it comes to asking yourself if you have mnemonic possession
00:50:14
I think there's some things that we could you could sort of like look at when it comes to mnemonic possession
00:50:19
um
00:50:22
Do you notice that you are isolating yourself from groups of people that
00:50:30
challenge
00:50:33
Your ideas for example
00:50:35
Like do you notice that you are hostile towards people who challenge your ideas do you have
00:50:43
Because of a set of ideas in your head. I'm not I'm saying a set of ideas in your head not your direct encounter with reality as set of ideas in your head
00:50:51
a general sense of despair
00:50:54
Is your internal universe matching your external universe?
00:50:59
Do you have a sense of an imminent apocalypse?
00:51:05
A feeling that the world is about to end do you have a feeling that
00:51:10
You're being controlled by external evil forces a kind of paranoid sense that things out there are
00:51:20
Potentially going to like limit your freedom or fuck you up
00:51:25
I'm saying it hasn't happened yet, but you have a feeling it's coming
00:51:31
I'm not saying it might not come either. Just the general sort of if you were a
00:51:36
A meteorologist for your psyche
00:51:41
What are we looking at there do we have?
00:51:44
Storms or that is and what are those storms related to where are they brewing from and if you you really look into this you you'll probably realize
00:51:53
They're not coming for directing counters with reality itself, but they're coming from
00:52:01
Whatever content you've been focusing on the most like for example, I'll tell you what I've got the memes running around my head right now
00:52:07
As I was thinking about this
00:52:11
Oh imminent world war three that's that's one running rampant my brain right now
00:52:19
It's a politicized one too. It's like not just like it you know
00:52:24
There's always some general sense world war three could kick off
00:52:28
But because of some of the media that I've consumed
00:52:32
Uh, I've got like can sort of paranoid conspiracy sense that
00:52:38
The off oh, yeah, I'm sorry if you haven't heard this yet. Happy Thanksgiving by the way the
00:52:43
the reason
00:52:46
That Biden
00:52:48
Authorized Ukraine to use American long-range missiles was because of a sense that when Trump comes into power
00:52:57
That war will end and so the only choice
00:53:00
To finish the project was to attempt to
00:53:05
Get Russia to use nuclear weapons to justify
00:53:09
NATO boots on the ground to finish the job before Trump gets into office
00:53:14
Is that true or not? I don't know
00:53:17
But I definitely didn't come to that conclusion on my own that came from going online and watching YouTube videos and stuff
00:53:23
Did you see the Russian state TV what they were saying about what European countries they would bomb if they keep doing it sure
00:53:31
I mean, this is and again, this is an ongoing thing. I've seen uh
00:53:35
You know by now all of us have seen
00:53:38
Russian state TV talk about nuking
00:53:41
This place or that place. I don't even know if they're translating it right, but I'm assuming they are they are
00:53:46
I mean, that's it's no different than like
00:53:49
You know what what war hawks here, you know, in one word shaking the nuclear saber at this person or that
00:53:55
em, you know
00:53:58
So my point being I
00:54:00
I hope that I'm not trying I'm trying I'm I don't you don't think I think I don't I my own meanplex
00:54:06
Inside of me
00:54:08
Because you know, I also I will I run through I happily run through the foul list of digital swaps
00:54:17
And drink from the foulest of digital waters and no doubt have parasitic memes
00:54:22
Existing within me
00:54:24
But for the sake of what I'm rambling about here
00:54:27
The point is like I think one meme probably existing in a lot of us is a
00:54:32
An ex a general like sense of like fuck man
00:54:36
Why the there's there could really be I mean, this is trending on twitter all the time. That could be world war three
00:54:44
like
00:54:46
Hopefully not
00:54:47
probably not
00:54:49
But the point is because of my consumption of media
00:54:53
I am now living in a reality tunnel that has built inside of it
00:55:02
Some possibility of nuclear holocaust in an imminent kind of way that has been politicized by things that I look at
00:55:11
so
00:55:12
this is a meme
00:55:14
and
00:55:16
I have many others
00:55:18
Living inside of me. I've got rom dos memes. I've got Terrence McKenna memes. I've got all kinds of memes wrapped up inside of me
00:55:26
I got got a war memes
00:55:28
I got so I'm a hive of memes as you probably are and it's good just as kind of take a look in there and see if
00:55:41
I were a sorcerer and if I could summon entities that existed within my energy field
00:55:49
What entities what I want hanging out in there and
00:55:56
Looking at your own sort of
00:56:00
meme set and your own personal memeplex
00:56:03
I mean, there's the gut by on we need it
00:56:08
You need like to take probiotics your shits will get infinitely better
00:56:12
You'll feel better your mood will change and there's actually you could take probiotics to like
00:56:18
To uh change the
00:56:22
Gut by um feel better
00:56:26
So if you start looking at the psychic by um
00:56:28
In the same way you look at your gut by um start thinking about
00:56:34
Okay, what the fuck's in there they say that if you eat a bunch of sugar you crave more sugar because you're gut by
00:56:40
I want sugar to actually send somehow send signals to your brain making you crave sugar
00:56:45
So that's one way you can kind of figure out what's going on in there is like what are you wanting?
00:56:51
What are you paying attention to what are you fixating on or obsessing over and then that will basically tell you what
00:56:58
Memons you've are possessed with and so dude this to me. I think it's a wonderful thing to really think about and
00:57:07
also
00:57:09
To not get fucking butter
00:57:11
because you begin to realize that you have been
00:57:16
Non-consensually impregnated with this with a memeplex that is now making you feel embarrassed or humiliated
00:57:24
not think I showed you in the beginning with
00:57:28
Lakeman and think that right that to me. I think that's the where where you fucked up
00:57:34
That was so funny
00:57:37
is that
00:57:39
people
00:57:40
Like Lakeman
00:57:42
Who have been sucked into a memeplex who are possessed with memes
00:57:46
they need
00:57:49
the ability to
00:57:52
Unzip the meme suit and like you know
00:57:56
They need the ability to like with it not to be shamed or humiliated because they like
00:58:01
Took on a set of fucking stupid memes which we all have
00:58:06
You know what I'm talking about like this is a problem. I feel like if you like this is where it's really funny
00:58:13
Especially in left versus right
00:58:15
Here you have some set of behaviors
00:58:18
On the right
00:58:22
Let's talk about the right
00:58:24
Conservatives conservativeism deregulation
00:58:28
Small government family values
00:58:32
Focus on the family focus on breeding
00:58:35
Fuck the environment
00:58:38
Yeah, right. Well, yeah, fuck, you know, fuck. Yeah, you know what? No, it's drill baby drill
00:58:44
That's a meme. Drill baby drill is a meme and
00:58:50
Energy independence meme anti-globalism meme
00:58:55
Like anytime you hear yourself voicing any of these things. You're articulating a meme. You're propagating a meme
00:59:00
Not to say it's wrong or right. It's a meme
00:59:04
What else do we have on the right? Well, we're all the things that made you come up with your own meme about blowing up the paramedics with Diet Coke and Mentos
00:59:11
Glad you asked me all that
00:59:13
Um
00:59:14
Well, and it kind of gets into what we're talking about here
00:59:17
The pyramids are a fucking meme
00:59:20
Um
00:59:22
It's a concretized meme and and and and this is that where it gets weird
00:59:26
so
00:59:28
you look at like
00:59:30
The general
00:59:32
aesthetic of the right you look at the aesthetic of the left and you see the way that the the meme goes from idea to physical form
00:59:38
dress hair
00:59:41
Whatever it is that someone is like the mold that someone's body is fitting into
00:59:46
Uh, but it doesn't stop there
00:59:50
That's where it gets fucking weird
00:59:52
The collaborative efforts of people within any given memeplex
00:59:58
Extantiate themselves into time space in three-dimensional forms
01:00:04
art
01:00:06
Architecture movies
01:00:08
Video games. It doesn't stop with the way you dress. It actually wants to build itself into time
01:00:14
It wants to create statues to itself. It wants to create posters, paintings, symbol sets that that are non-mind dependent other than they have to be observed to come into existence
01:00:26
But they live in 3d space. I mean brutalist architecture pull up Mussolini's um
01:00:33
God uh
01:00:36
Mo the parliament building Mussolini's parliament building look at this shit brutalist architecture
01:00:40
This episode of the DTFH has been brought to you by AG1 listen as a parent
01:01:01
I feel embarrassed to say this out loud and I'm probably putting myself in a little bit of danger
01:01:08
But that's superstition actually, but I got to tell you
01:01:11
When you have kids
01:01:14
Plagues run through your family you're essentially just a medieval village surrounded by
01:01:21
Filthy barbarians who from time to time catapulted an infected dog into your well
01:01:28
Kids come home from school. They've picked up some kind of rare disease from some other filthy kid who picked it up from another filthy kid
01:01:36
And you watch the disease run through your house jump from person to person
01:01:42
Inevitably taking down your wife and then you know I'm next
01:01:46
But sometimes you're not and that's when you get a feeling that you can't really announce to your family which is like wow
01:01:53
You guys are weak look at me
01:01:57
Oh god of hell that couldn't take me down
01:02:02
And I attribute some of that if not all of it to AG1
01:02:06
AG1 so you keep on top of your vitamin routine without having to go through a bunch of bottles of vitamins
01:02:13
Looking at the ones that are expired
01:02:15
figuring out which one to take
01:02:17
dealing with the inevitable vitamin puke that comes because you forgot to eat or didn't have time to eat but you wanted to take your vitamins
01:02:23
AG1 figured it all out
01:02:25
Just take that sweet green blasted powder and you poured in some ice cold water
01:02:31
That's what I do nothing fancy just some cold water and my AG1 and slurp slurp slurp
01:02:38
I'm on my way to secretly and silently judging my family's immune system
01:02:44
That feels good listen take your wins where you can find them with AG1 also if you're traveling
01:02:51
They have awesome travel packs. You don't have to cart around some some a big thing
01:02:55
You just throw a bunch of travel packs in your suitcase and you are guaranteed to get the vitamins you need during the holidays
01:03:03
Also, if you are a parent out there not trying to be exclusionary to those who have yet to become parents
01:03:09
I don't want to be but if you are a parent you know what it's like going through the airport with your kids
01:03:14
You're not eating you think you're gonna eat when you're gonna stop and get food. There's no time
01:03:18
There's no time you're essentially escorting
01:03:22
inmates from Arkham Asylum on to a plane. There's no way that you're gonna stop anywhere to eat
01:03:27
It's all about the kids by the time you get to wherever you're going
01:03:30
You're tired you're exhausted because you didn't get the vitamins you need it
01:03:34
You can change all that with AG1 just dump some of that powder into a water bottle and slurp back that green
01:03:42

Thank you AG1
01:04:43
So here we see the sort of architecture of fascism which is a meme
01:04:47
Is that where they got it from? Yeah, I guess
01:04:54
So check that shit out
01:04:57
That is when a meme grows into time space
01:05:01
You've got the form of the meme muslinies face
01:05:05
You've got the brutalist architecture. You've got the grim look at like you talk about a fucking meme that made someone look scary
01:05:12
There you go. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Exactly. So there you go or pull up like a
01:05:18
I don't know pull up like a Hitler rally
01:05:22
Or Nazi architecture pull up Nazi architecture
01:05:26
You know just pull up I wish I could think of like a good like oh there you go look at that
01:05:33
That weird whatever the fuck that is the swastika
01:05:38
Yeah, look at that pillar with the swastika on it
01:05:42
Right, so the the thing that was in the in the minds of the Nazis begins to
01:05:47
grow into time space in the form of this insane
01:05:51
architecture
01:05:53
fashion
01:05:54
Right
01:05:56
And so that's how it starts growing into actual physical structures and within the physical structures the meme propagates via
01:06:04
meetings legislation so the physical structures so it goes from being the mind is the breeding ground of the meme to the physical
01:06:11
structure becomes a place where people within the memeplex
01:06:14
Collaborate to
01:06:18
Propagate the meme further into the world because the meme wants to propagate and survive and so
01:06:25
This is where it gets really fucking weird an idea goes viral the idea first it lives in the mind it then starts showing up in the form of
01:06:34
phrases
01:06:37
linguistic patterns fashion and behavior sets
01:06:41
Then inevitably legislation
01:06:44
then the legislation
01:06:47
it
01:06:48
Guards the meme so that now like the chances of the meme going away now it's it becomes illegal to say certain things now
01:06:55
And that's where censorship pops in so now which is why you know within if you're looking for fascism the first thing
01:07:02
You should look for his censorship because you have to censor antithetical memes to ensure the propagation of the meme
01:07:09
This is the emperor wears no clothes that little fuck
01:07:12
You know, like you needed people to be like, yeah, he's and I no one should say that the guy has no fucking clothes on or like
01:07:18
um, I don't know pull up like
01:07:21
Oh my god, it's the best thing ever. I'm trying to think of who it is
01:07:28
applause it not see rally you ever seen this ship before people are afraid to stop clapping
01:07:33
uh
01:07:36
I've seen it at North Korea. Oh, maybe it's North Korea
01:07:40
I mean people will like yeah, the lie it was North Korea because it was North Korea applause and yeah
01:07:45
It was the last person to stop um
01:07:48
Clat or the first person to stop clapping. They don't want to be the first person. There you go. This is insane. Look at this shit if this is it
01:07:57
Look at that again all you know the same kind of look at the uniformity the
01:08:04
homogenous nature of this memeplex is insane. It's an organism. It's a super organism
01:08:11
Isn't that wild?
01:08:15
And so this is the other thing that you start seeing is this homogenous quality to the super organism within them within
01:08:23
any given set people start looking the same dressing the same talking the same
01:08:29
It's replicating itself in such an intense way that when you see all of them together
01:08:35
It's looking at a super organism and it's a super organism
01:08:41
that
01:08:44
Is a
01:08:45
Has a pyramid structure. It's an inevitably a top-down hierarchical structure
01:08:51
Where at the top is the leader
01:08:54
Kim Jong-un
01:08:57
Trump Harris
01:09:00
Mad how right like you know you get the big versions and then you get the many versions but inevitably it's a pyramid at the top of the fucking pyramid
01:09:11
Is you ever is the high priest of the mean
01:09:16
dissemination so in the media. This is the pundit the pundit is a high priest the pundit does a ritual of meme propagation
01:09:24
Which is the opening monologue the opening monologue
01:09:28
Inevitably is a way to propagate the meme
01:09:31
So for Mad how it would be liberalism for Hannity or be conservatism and then what you end up seeing which is where it gets really cool
01:09:40
Is a similarity in ritual
01:09:43
If you look here if you put Sean Hannity in Rachel Madhouse side by side
01:09:49
You will see
01:09:52
completely different
01:09:55
Takes on the same data set but an identical way of conducting the ritual and the way of conducting the ritual is
01:10:06
To
01:10:10
Kind of you start off
01:10:13
Sometimes you start off a little slow
01:10:15
humanize yourself
01:10:17
Maybe you talk to the host before you you have a couple of giggles and laughs
01:10:21
and then
01:10:24
You present to the world
01:10:26
What they're supposed to be afraid of that night what's going down to this is fucking bad bad like tonight
01:10:33
This one's real bad and you need to be aware of it
01:10:37
This is mixed in with the personality of the host but that the the structure is the same
01:10:42
I present you with a problem for tonight
01:10:45
You blame the problem on the
01:10:49
opposite political party. It's because the fucking idiot left
01:10:52
Biden got us in a world of hurt or it's like already Trump is starting to fuck shit up. Are you ready?
01:10:59
It's always the same and it's like whoa you really need to pay attention to this
01:11:05
We'll be right back. So you know what I mean right it's a good place for commercial right there um
01:11:11
Anyway, the point is
01:11:14
When you start recognizing the meta structure within
01:11:18
The the the high priests the rituals of the media of the meme lords
01:11:24
Is identical then you you run into
01:11:32
the the greatest
01:11:34
Realization I think when it comes to the analysis of mnemonic possession
01:11:38
It's the same fucking demon
01:11:42
It's the same thing. It's two tentacles of the identical entity and it's
01:11:49
It's like a kid playing with like GI Joe's
01:11:53
Making them fight, but it's the same fucking thing structurally. It's the same fucking thing the way it shows up is
01:12:02
Completely different in style stylistically, but structurally it's identical
01:12:08
And it's all connected to the same thing and it feeds on itself. That's where it gets really cool. So
01:12:14
The left presents some hyper leftist
01:12:18
woke idea
01:12:21
The right
01:12:24
So horrified by the idea
01:12:26
Pushes back and in the pushback mirrors the idea in the opposite right you look in the mirror
01:12:33
You see the opposite of you when you're looking in the mirror not seeing you as you are you're seeing a polar opposite
01:12:38
So when these fucking meme complexes fight they're just looking at each other in the mirror and they're helping each other
01:12:45
Adapt evolve get better meaning they're fucking the same thing
01:12:51
so if you are against
01:12:54
some political class
01:12:56
paradoxically
01:13:00
you are responsible
01:13:02
For a lot of that shit and anything any reaction that you're causing
01:13:07
Because one thing pushes the other thing pushes and that pushes back and that pushes back and it's that
01:13:12
Dance it's a dance. It's a terrible stupid embarrassing horrible potentially apocalyptic dance
01:13:21
But none the less a fucking dance you think you're separate from the left
01:13:26
You're out there like there those mother fuckers what happened
01:13:31
Liberal man
01:13:35
Guess what
01:13:38
You're dancing with him cheek to cheek
01:13:41
Via the obsession same on the left you're looking at the right these fucking neo-nazi fascist fucks do they know what they've done
01:13:50
Via your attention on them
01:13:53
You're given the meme the nutrients it needs
01:13:58
To live and that's a really cool moment when you realize holy fuck we're dancing with each other
01:14:04
We're in some ridiculous ballroom dance with each other and it's so cool when you realize that
01:14:11
Which and I think
01:14:15
It's to be the beginning of realizing your particular meme set
01:14:19
Can lead to true liberation that's the next step and forgiveness
01:14:25
These embarrassing mother fuckers on whatever side
01:14:28
It's like dude. It's a dance. It's the macarena
01:14:34
We're all doing this embarrassing macarena and it kind of sucks because we're dancing to the fucking macarena. I hate that shit
01:14:43
One of my kids that's all I want to listen to the mock fucking reign of the dance one. It's all they want to listen to macarena
01:14:50
It's like I don't want to dance to the macarena
01:14:56
But in this case
01:14:59
It's even worse than the fucking macarena. I don't worry my friends
01:15:03
Because the DJs
01:15:08
It's fucking DJ Sean Hannity DJ
01:15:12
Rachel Maddow
01:15:15
DJ Rupert Murdock
01:15:17
DJ
01:15:20
Who's another McClod Schwab or whatever the fuck that guy's name is
01:15:23
You really want that to be your DJ
01:15:26
You really want the person spinning the cultural fucking record to be any of those people
01:15:32
Telling you what you should be afraid of
01:15:36
Telling you how to dance
01:15:39
Fuck that
01:15:41
That is embarrassing
01:15:43
And I think at some point
01:15:46
If you realize you're at a planetary rave
01:15:50
It's okay to like get a new DJ
01:15:56
It's they've done it these motherfuckers have been spinning the same goddamn record for like ever
01:16:02
It's a record of
01:16:06
division judgment hate fear consumerism
01:16:13
dehumanization
01:16:16
Othering
01:16:17
I'm sick of it
01:16:19
I would rather dance the fucking macarena for the rest of my life
01:16:24
That's all
01:16:27
We have to like realize this is like a summer camp dance. I used to take my kids when I worked at a summer camp
01:16:34
There was these dances. They're so funny
01:16:36
Watching a bunch of kids
01:16:39
Try to do popular dances
01:16:43
It's hilarious. It's cute
01:16:45
Some of them are better some of them are worse some of them take pride in their ability dance some of them are ashamed
01:16:50
No different we're looking at the same situation except in this case the
01:16:56
The dances can actually lead to like global fucking conflagurations
01:17:01
but
01:17:04
Once you realize don't be embarrassed. I don't care what side politically you're on it really don't
01:17:09
I enjoy it when people have different political opinions in me
01:17:15
Don't you isn't that fun my I my favorite conversations that I have
01:17:21
privately
01:17:26
Or with my most nihilistic atheist friends because I am not and I love talking to them
01:17:33
I love it when they pop my balloons when they
01:17:36
Defeat me in some kind of semantic judo
01:17:40
That's not the norm though the norm is you hang out with friends who are the same classes you
01:17:45
Went to the same schools. You all dressed the same type of thing
01:17:49
That's what majority of people are doing
01:17:51
Exactly. It's the worst you're missing out man
01:17:55
Everyone it's the whole thing and this is another meme. They say about people on the left are saying don't go to Thanksgiving with your family
01:18:02
I don't think that's true
01:18:03
But it was certainly being pumped out there by one of the meme priests
01:18:06
but it's like
01:18:10
dude
01:18:11
How fun is it even if you don't shit to stir
01:18:16
To sit and listen to antithetical political opinions being like
01:18:20
Vocalized from your hammered
01:18:24
Relatives you really gonna miss out on that
01:18:26
It's the best
01:18:30
I love it. I mean maybe I'm just a creep, but I love sitting in the cafe drawn on my iPad
01:18:35
listening
01:18:37
When conversations get political. I love it
01:18:40
It's so fun to hear the different POVs and especially to hear that meme echoes
01:18:45
When you realize the people talking don't realize it, but they're saying the exact same things
01:18:50
You heard in a conversation two days before from completely different people
01:18:54
They don't even know they're an echo
01:18:56
They're a they and I don't mean just like it's the same topics. I mean same phrases
01:19:00
Whoa all their shenanigans
01:19:04
They're saying shenanigans
01:19:06
You know it's so cool
01:19:09
So yeah, that is my rant for the day
01:19:12
I say have the courage to interrogate your own psyche to see what memes are swimming around up there in your brain and
01:19:21
Ask yourself
01:19:25
Do really is it doing any good for you
01:19:29
In a in a in a real sense
01:19:31
Have you become dreary?
01:19:34
Are you dreary right now? That's okay. Don't be embarrassed. You should be dreary
01:19:39
If you let some fucking like horrific satanic DJ
01:19:44
Get a song stuck in your head because
01:19:47
You decided to listen to it and didn't realize it was made to get stuck in your head
01:19:53
Not because it's true necessarily, but because it serves
01:19:55
billionaires. You'll never meet corporate interests. You'll never know about
01:20:00
Ask yourself like am I dreary
01:20:04
Are you going out there in the world with the
01:20:09
existentialist grin
01:20:12
The wild smile Kamu talked about you're walking to the gallows with a grin
01:20:18
You have defeated the executioner
01:20:22
Yeah, they're hanging you, but you're smiling
01:20:24
They lose the crucifixion of Christ
01:20:28
Oh, they're forgiven. They don't know what they're doing
01:20:32
Whoa, I wouldn't want to see that if I just crucified some hippie. I want him screaming and yelling at me
01:20:41
Confirming that he's a monster
01:20:44
The last thing I want is for him to forgive me and look at me lovingly
01:20:51
That's gonna fuck me up. I'm getting on binzos after that
01:20:55
Mainly though
01:21:00
I don't even know if we're gonna have Thanksgiving
01:21:03
We could be in a radiated wasteland
01:21:06
We could all be fucking Thanksgiving turkeys
01:21:10
Radioactive Thanksgiving turkeys
01:21:14
But do you want your last few days wandering around this sweet beautiful green planet
01:21:20
before shit glows to be miserable
01:21:24
sad
01:21:27
dreary
01:21:28
Because you've been possessed by corpomeams designed to
01:21:32
sell fucking
01:21:36
Wipes
01:21:41
That's the other irony when you realize the whole thing is just to fucking sell lifelock
01:21:45
The whole thing is just you know what I mean
01:21:49
All right, we're going to cut to commercial beer right back.
