Behind the Bastards

And the book Medical Messiahs points out that American rally was one of a number of Hoxie supporting organizations,

Defined as the right of every individual to seek treatment from Hoxie's clinic and other clinics and practitioners frowned on by the Orthodox medical establishment,

Shortly the local paper began to run stories of deaths that were occurring at the Institute. Local doctors began to be concerned. One of them wrote the high priests at the American Medical Association telling of examining a man who would receive the Hoxide treatment.

To avoid burdening the council with trivial and patently feudal suggestions, criteria had been established to govern which methods of treating cancer among those proposed warranted investigation and possible testing.

When Hoxie, the congressman in tow, showed up at the institute, the NCI's director, Dr. R. R. Spencer explained these criteria. The institute, he said, would be glad to present Hoxie's case to the advisory council if he would furnish certain information.

What made things worse as the experts assessed the Hoxy theories was that the Hoxy literature condemned the only treatments yet found valid in cancer therapy.

One of the most poignant cases presented involved a high school boy of 16 who after a football injury developed an extremely malignant cancer in a leg bone.

Shortly the local paper began to run stories of deaths that were occurring at the Institute. Local doctors began to be concerned. One of them wrote the high priests at the American Medical Association telling of examining a man who would receive the Hoxide treatment. The paste had been applied to a tumor on the cheek. Two days before the man died, the doctor wrote, 'I was called to see him and found necrosis of not only soft tissue of his face, but a complete destruction of the mallard bone.' The man died of hemorrhage at the hospital.

The institute, he said, would be glad to present Hoxie's case to the advisory council if he would furnish certain information. He must reveal his formula and explain his techniques of treatment in detail. He must also present a record of at least 50 cases treated by his method. Each case must represent an individual in whom the presence of internal cancer had been confirmed by competent biopsy who had been treated by physicians and given up as hopeless and who had then been treated by Hoxie and had survived from three to five years.

One of the most poignant cases presented involved a high school boy of 16 who after a football injury developed an extremely malignant cancer in a leg bone. When the boy's physician recommended amputation the parents could not face this prospect and took their son instead to Hoxie's clinic. The medical director, the father testified had guaranteed a cure for some four months while Ed took Hoxie's tonics. They did no good. Several months later, the boy was dead. Had the amputation been performed, the physician who had first treated the boy testified he would have had a fighting chance.

What made things worse as the experts assessed the Hoxy theories was that the Hoxy literature condemned the only treatments yet found valid in cancer therapy.

The FDA appealed and asked the circuit court to grant the injunction instead, arguing that Atwell had been swayed by incompetent testimony, which he absolutely had been. The three judge court reviewed the evidence and agreed unanimously. In particular, they found that only a biopsy could accurately diagnose cancer. A random dude's opinion that something was probably cancer was not a real diagnosis. They chided Judge Atwell for being so blind and deaf as to fail to see, hear and understand the important effect of such matters on general public knowledge and acceptance.

She used several segments from August Kuba's ex illadvised book, The Young Hitler I Knew.

All this is no good Adolf, I replied, Stephanie is fond of dancing. If you want to conquer her, you will have to dance around just as aimlessly and idiotically as the others.

That was all that was needed to set him off raving. No, no, never, he screamed at me, I shall never dance. Do you understand Stephanie only dances because she is forced to by society on which she unfortunately depends. Once she is my wife, she won't have the slightest desire to dance.

On promenades girls and women would often slightly glance at them. At first Kubizek thought their interest was directed to him, but it soon became apparent that the reserved Adolf was the object. He coldly ignored their silent invitations.

If the two did nothing about sex, they spent hours at night discussing women, love, and marriage with Adolf as usual dominating the conversation. Over and over he insisted that he must keep the flame of life pure.

Where decency demanded that women were scarcely allowed to even show an ankle, Hitler's embarrassment and the rapidity with which he fled with his friend when a prospective landlady during a search for a room for Kubizek let her silk dressing gown fall open to reveal that she was wearing nothing but a pair of knickers.

Adolf Hitler is the reincarnation of the God Vishnu.

That is he believed in accordance with his Catholic upbringing a man and a woman should keep themselves chaste in body and soul until marriage and just thus be worthy of producing healthy children for the nation.

as interesting as I find this guy, his biography, Gabriel Denoncio, a poet, seducer and the preacher of war by Lucy Hughes Hallett, I really recommend.

Hughes Hallett is a fantastic writer and very critical eye in a really interesting way.

I really appreciate her perspective on this guy so I very much recommend that book.

I mean all the quotes you've read from it are amazing.

It's fantastic. And he is just absolutely a fascinating piece of shit.

Funerals, the Biaire followed by a long lines of hooded mourners. Their faces covered all by but a slit for the eyes or processions of girls and sacrificial white on the way to their first communion provide the town's main spectacles.

Many of the stories Denonzio related about his childhood concerned dying animals. There was the death of his little Sardinian horse, a bay with a white muzzle named Aquilino and the death of his little Sardinian horse, a bay with a white muzzle named Aquilino. And the death of his little Sardinian horse, a bay with a white muzzle named Aquilino whom he would feed with apples and sugar lumps in the peace of the nighttime stable.

There was the quail the farm manager gave him in a cage made of twigs. Half a century later, Denonzio could still recall how the tiny creature had dashed itself against its makeshift bars, gashing its head until the bone showed.

On killing days, the howling of stuck pigs and their blood spurting into basins so appalled him that he would hide in a corner, face to the wall, his hand over his contorted mouth. Life scared me as though it stalked me with a pig-sticking knife in hand.

After the mass of the little Sardinian horse, he sobbed all night.

He luxuriated in the idea of her unhappiness. He even told her how much you would like to see her corpse.

He loved it that she was deathly pale like the blessed damoselle, the dead girl of her city's famous poem and painting, but he would have preferred her even paler.

I want you even paler, I want you dead.

He's an emotional manipulator like and he's a fundamentally abusive person.

In the political rhetoric and poetry of the period civilian existence is gray, dim, morally compromised and physically grubby. The battlefield by contrast is bright a glitter with weapons and flashing with joy above all it is clean.

Italy was no longer a pension defamilie of museum but a living nation he declared in one interventionalist demagogic speech to general acclaim.

The prospect of mass deaths thrilled him.

He was fast developing a brilliantly manipulative oratorical technique.

He allowed his public no break in his contrivances of their hysteria.

Hear me, he cried, listen to me, understand me.

The sheer rage he worked these crowds into eventually made any outcome but war basically impossible.

He attacked the advocates of peace in vitriolic terms.

The very air of Rome stank with their treachery.

Those who still hung back from war were traitors, assassins of the patria, Italy's executioners.

He called upon the Roman mob to take the law into their own hands.

He urged his listeners to attack the appeasers who licked the boots on sweaty Prussian feet.

He called for stonings and arson.

I tell you there is treason here in Rome.

We were being sold like a herd of diseased cattle.

He urged the people to hunt down anti-war deputies, form squads, 'squadra' was one of the many words the fascists would pick up from him.

And wait, seize them, capture them.

An observer reports that the applause when he paused was like a storm when he resumed to denounce Geoliti in ever more vituperative terms, that diabolical old blubber-lipped hangman, the storm was transformed into a cyclone.

He was high on his own eloquence, on the frenzy of the crowds he flattered and inflamed and on the prospect of blood.

52 years old, he extolled the ruthless purity of youth.

A poet whose life's work had been the threading together of obscure and beautiful words, he inveighed against verbiage and called for action, cruel if need be, and unambiguous.

It is not the time for speaking but for doing.

He ended by leading the crowd in an anthem, beating time with his little white hands while the people below bellowed out through a frame, 'Let us join the cohort, we are ready to die, Italy has called'.

He was the rage. A woman who had not slept with him made herself ridiculed.

Hughes Hallett is a fantastic writer and very critical eye in a really interesting way. I really appreciate her perspective on this guy so I very much recommend that book.

Blessed are those who are now 20 years old, he said. He worshipped and envied their beauty and took enormous pleasure in the opportunities that war afforded him to live alongside them as companions and arms. Their deaths were marvelous to him.

I have a horror of sedentary work, of the pin, of the ink, of paper, of all those things now become so futile. A feverish desire for action takes me.

am I not the precursor of all that's good about fascism?

You whose own spirit is so hardworking and so generous must understand me. He stressed his physical competence. He was not a man of letters as of the old type and skullcap and slippers. He was an adventurer.

I'm going to quote now from the book The Lobotomist.

In 1948 Patricia Darian a student nurse at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville watched Freeman perform a transorbital lobotomy at a nearby state hospital.

Freeman selected the patients for operation she reported by twisting their joints to determine their flexibility not by reading or taking histories after a special lunch in honor of the occasion of his visit he occupied a conference room and had each patient shocked and photographed.

When all was ready he would plunge the leukotome in Darian noted. He wore no gown mask or gloves afterwards he would sit the patients up and have them walked out of the room.

He was very proud of the fact that the people walked in and walked out none had to be carried although one or two of them sagged badly on the way out she remembered.

The wonderful biography of Walter, The Lobotomist, notes that he also nursed a lifelong fear of horses but never knew why.

Now, I'm gonna quote now from Jack El-Hai who wrote The Lobotomist and also wrote this piece for The Washington Post.

To him, the intoxicating thing about psychosurgery, Moniz's coin term for psychiatric surgery, was its potential to sever the links between the over excited emotions of an unhealthy thalamus and the behavioral functions of the prefrontal lobes of the brain.

If it worked, the destruction of these nerve fibers would prevent the thalamus from poisoning patients' thinking.

He absorbed the details of Moniz's work and, with neurosurgeon Watts, became figuring out how to adapt the Portuguese physician's techniques.

In his classified report titled, Some Areas of Psychiatric Interest, Loefflin commented that the procedure would be adaptable to intelligence work and noted that he watched Dr. Freeman perform 22 transorbital lobotomies with an average of about 6 minutes per operation.

they battled indigenous groups for dominance in the region, chased down runaway slaves who struck for freedom deep within Mexico and settled scores with anyone who challenged the Anglo-American Project in Texas.

Whatever the task however, raw physical violence was the Rangers principle strategy.

He charged local officials, the chief patrol inspector and border patrol officers in the Laredo station with immigrant smuggling and forced just under half of Laredo's 28 border patrol inspectors and the chief patrol inspector to quit or be fired. Perkins then transferred select border patrolmen who had all been Texas Rangers into the Laredo sector because all were experienced, well-disciplined fighters who knew the country well.

Detailing former Texas Rangers to Laredo was a strategy used to divorce the border patrol station from the local Mexican-American political elite. Tension quickly mounted between the ex-Rangers in the Laredo community, particularly the Laredo Police Department.

Although most local stations develop their own strategies, policies and procedures, the Laredo station was exempt until the men and the infamously brutal racial violence of the Texas Rangers slashed away at the bonds between the Laredo Border Patrol and local Mexican-American leadership.

The cleanup transformed the Laredo Border Patrol into a refuge for white violence within Mexican dominated Laredo.

Carter had convened a meeting to request the assistance of the U.S. military and the National Guard to purge the nation of undocumented Mexican nationals and seal the U.S.-Mexico border.

On June 12th, 1901, a Mexicano rancher named Gregorio Cortez stood at the gate of his home in Cairnes County, Texas. There he resisted arrest for a crime that he did not commit. The sheriff persisted, drew his gun and shot Gregorio's brother in the mouth when he charged at the sheriff to protect Gregorio.

early officers may have lived in white neighborhoods, worshipped at white churches and sent their children to white schools. But as salesmen, chauffeurs, machinists and cow punchers, they had labored at the edges of whiteness in the borderlands.

Policing Mexicans, in other words, presented officers with the opportunity to enter the region's primary economy and in the process shore up their tentative claims upon whiteness.

They entered Newton's parents' bedroom and began shining the flashlights in my mother's eyes and my father's eyes, telling them to get up. We're gonna go out and find where your Mexicans are.

Between June 17th and July 26th, 1954, 2,827 of the 4,403 migrants apprehended by task, the task force assigned to the Los Angeles area had worked in industry.

This is why Voltaire in fucking Candide I brought up Pangloss like he is mocking this idea that like the Pangloss is this like philosopher guy who's saying like this is the best of all possible worlds and everything that happens and it is like the best that can possibly be which is if you're in charge always the way in which you want people to feel like that's all Jordan Peterson is is fucking Pangloss with a fucking binzo problem.

He gives kind of the final word in the book to a Turkish Dervish

in Candide. He gives kind of the final word in the book to a Turkish Dervish

Maybe he read Candide and he was like, so that's what they do in college.

The basic thrust of your book is that the way in which we think about civilizations falling or collapsing or however you you know the ways in which folks tend to discuss that and we're talking about the Maya or the Romans Is is very different from what archaeologists who tend to study these cultures how they tend to perceive of What you might more accurately call a decline or you know, the decentralization or whatever I think there's a number of terms that we could use but these ideas that like you have these civilizations and then they suddenly fall apart Are not really based in rigorous historical analysis.

It became obvious to me over time that People were taking these courses not just to learn how to deal with being lost out in the wilderness Which is sort of was my vision What do you do if you unexpectedly have to spend a night out in the woods or or two or three? They're really thinking about what I do when things fall apart. How do I take care of myself? How do I take care of my family using these skills that you could use in a situation where things had fallen apart?

You know a lot of that stems from the research of some other archaeologists and they um You know You're exactly right. We don't think about that. We're not taught about it that way, you know, we sort of have this this contradictory and sort of uh, um, uh Doubly problematic way of talking about this first for a long time. We denied uh, sort of the the how Traumatic and and how much of a genocide it was when europeans arrived um and then After denying that we sort of say well native americans are Gone and no longer relevant so we can cease to talk about them, uh, of course That's not true. And one of the things that we see when we look more in detail at The histories or we listen to the oral histories or we look at the archaeology is that there are a number of things that that that people did and do to uh To create the outcomes that they want and that was no different for the native american groups, you know I mean they had ways of dealing with disease and some of them will be will be able to Understand it via our sort of our system right isolating people cleanliness minimizing contact Especially with sort of problematic groups like the colonizers um You know, but in other ways there are things that are going to be unfamiliar to us and we're not going to see The effectiveness or the value in it But one of the things that that all of these things did that these groups were doing was created or maintained group identity and cohesion and allowed the perseverance of of community and so there are You know, it's it's easy to think about people as sort of passive victims of something especially When it serves your purpose to to think about it in these ways And we just see that it's it's not the case

One of the things I talk about in In my book are ideas of you know, diversity and inclusion which we talk about in certain ways now and often I think unfortunately it's talked about as if It's done to benefit The people that are marginalized and left out Only and while it is partly that it benefits everybody, of course, I mean anyone in a business knows anybody in a university knows uh the benefits of Diversity in the same way anybody that's trying to do something Understands the benefit of a diverse range of experiences You know, that's why we make these multidisciplinary teams that go out and do things Uh, you know, it's so that you have this this wide variety that can help you keep going

I really am hoping that this sort of uh community-based idea Becomes the way we think about things, uh, you know, it doesn't mean it's easy or that we're gonna like it It doesn't mean that that's what I want. I mean tell you the truth. I would love it if it was just me out in the woods With my family, you know, I can do that It's much harder to be part of a community and make things work for a big group of people But that's just the way it's going to be

The basic thrust of your book is that the way in which we think about civilizations falling or collapsing or however you you know, the ways in which folks tend to discuss that when we're talking about the Maya or the Romans is is very different from what archaeologists who tend to study these cultures, how they tend to perceive of what you might more accurately call a decline or, you know, a decentralization or whatever. I think there's a number of terms that we could use.

And I'm kind of wondering how the idea to write this sort of came together because you started it before the COVID-19 pandemic.

A huge percent of the population was engaged directly in agriculture. And, you know, here in the well, in the industrialized world is typically less than five percent, less than that, even in the United States.

And it's not just because of that last move. It's because of the last 10 moves.

It is absolutely the right thing to do to try to have two, three weeks of relatively storable food, some water, you know, some other emergency supplies.

I've been reading this very good book just started last night. And I think we're going to have the author on the show soon. Chris Begley, he's an underwater archaeologist, and he wrote a book called The Lost City of the Apocalypse that's about collapses throughout history and how they actually differ from the popular conceptions of them.

And one of the points he makes is that this idea of like lost cities in dark jungles and whatnot is based entirely on misconceptions, first of all, about like what jungles are. And then second, unlike these these very Eurocentric ideas towards what lost means, like he points out that every time there's been a lost city discovered, it's because archaeologists just like ask the people living there where the ruins were.

And they're like, oh, yeah, it's like right over there. Like we've known about this since forever. It was never lost. We just stopped living in that specific area.

And the other thing he points out is that like this idea of a jungle as like a difficult and primeval place is ridiculous. If you had to pick anywhere to be stranded in the world of terms of bio regions, you would pick a jungle like the Amazon because it's pretty easy to survive there.

It's called The Next Apocalypse, and it's very good so far.

And I think we're gonna have the author on the show soon Chris Begley. He's an underwater archaeologist and he wrote a book called The Next Apocalypse that's about Collapses throughout history and how they actually differ from the popular

He actually talks about a lot of the stuff we talked about in this show And one of the points he makes is that This idea of like lost cities in dark jungles and whatnot is based entirely on

misconceptions first of all about like what jungles are and then second on like the these these very Eurocentric ideas towards what lost means like he points out that every time there's been a lost

City or civilization discovered it's because archaeologists just like asked the people living there where the ruins were in there. Oh, yeah It's like right over there. Like we've known about this since forever. It was never lost We just stopped living in that specific area

It's called The Next Apocalypse and it's it's very good so far. Chris Begley is the author

The basic thrust of your book is that the way in which we think about civilizations falling or collapsing or however you you know the ways in which folks tend to discuss that and we're talking about the Maya or the Romans Is is very different from what archaeologists who tend to study these cultures how they tend to perceive of What you might more accurately call a decline or you know the decentralization or whatever I think there's a number of terms that we could use but these ideas that like you have these civilizations and then they suddenly fall apart Are not really based in rigorous historical analysis. Usually there's some cases as you go into the book

The big thing for me was How it became politicized so quickly, you know that was You know in the You know you know well now you see all of the memes you know Talking about the zombie movies where half the population doesn't believe there's zombies or something You know that was never really on the radar at least not on my radar Before and so now You know it is because clearly Not only do these things happen and then you have a group of people that are dealing with it You have obviously the dynamics within the group which which of course we knew but to see it play out in this way in this sort of dramatic way that really altered the course of History, I mean the pandemic could have turned out You know differently.

It's uneven It's not equal for everybody It's not Equal over space and time and certainly depending on your position in society There's different ways in which it It plays out for you You know and that's something that we see we see it from you know access to Vaccines to Well, I mean even things like you know, if we think about folks that are unvaccinated now there's a you know a chunk of those people that are Doing it for a sort of political reasons or other ideological reasons, but there's also a big A big group of those folks that are doing it because History shows that they should be wary of anything that Society tries to do to them and so, you know, you have these these things playing out for different ways for you know people from different regions of the country or political orientations or race or ethnicity or You know a whole variety of things and so seeing how uneven it was the pandemic Makes me think that you know, it certainly was that way then

The last time that humans lived where a significant portion of the population was Hunters and gatherers that is not farmers there was like 1 15th of the current population, you know less than 500 million people in the world So even a catastrophic disaster that you know reduced us to 85 percent of you know 15 percent of the current population We're still going to have more people in the world than ever lived without agriculture. And so we're gonna have to um Recreate some of these systems and you know agriculture by and large is going to be a community-based

A huge percent of the population Was engaged directly in agriculture And you know here in the it well in the industrialized world is typically less than five percent less than that even in the united States most people like me don't Don't engage in it and you know I know something about gardening perhaps like everybody else but you know I'm not a farmer. I don't really have that collective Wisdom and if I had to do that, um You know Probably it's like a lot of other things when everything's easy. It's not so bad Yeah When it goes bad, it really helps to know what you're doing and of course everything goes bad sooner or later and so um you know that's that kind of uh things very important, you know, and I think also there could certainly local systems and some flexible scale Would be really important you know, so i'm also like you a proponent of Of this sort of thing you know if we can get everybody to participate in ways that we aren't now That'll give us some flexibility What if what if we do have supply chain problems Well, we have a number of people in the community that are already doing some of this stuff that could maybe be Expanded or get us through this Period so yeah yeah

The basic thrust of your book is that the way in which we think about civilizations falling or collapsing or however you you know, the ways in which folks tend to discuss that when we're talking about the Maya or the Romans is is very different from what archaeologists who tend to study these cultures, how they tend to perceive of what you might more accurately call a decline or, you know, a decentralization or whatever. I think there's a number of terms that we could use.

The big thing for me was how it became politicized so quickly.

And that's the that's really something that, you know, even with covid, it shows that right, you know, the the problems are not only the existence or the appearance of this virus, but first of all, how did it appear? And that has to do with, you know, decreasing habitat for wild animals and the proximity of human populations to animals.

The stockpiling, you know, as well.

And one of the things that, you know, that I found was that the last time that humans lived, where a significant portion of the population was hunters and gatherers, that is not farmers. There was like one 15th of the current population, you know, less than 500 million people in the world.

I've been reading this very good book just started last night. And I think we're going to have the author on the show soon.

It's called The Next Apocalypse and it's it's very good so far

I think we're gonna have him on next week

Like I forget his name right now, but there's this excellent excellent book called the The Truth About Stories and I think What it really emphasizes throughout the book is the importance of stories and how stories impact how we navigate the world.

It's actually a book that was published in the night in 1975

And not all aspects of its politics things I agree with but I think for a first

The one I read most recently was Ecotopia, which is much older than all the others. It's actually a book that was published in 1975. And not all aspects of its politics are things I agree with. But I think for a first, it was one of the really the first of its kind in that sort of eco-utopian genre that really laid out what the society would look like.

And the one I read most recently was Ecotopia, which is quite as much older than all the others. It's actually a book that was published in 1975. And not all aspects of its politics are things I agree with. But I think for a first, it was one of the really the first of its kind in that sort of eco utopian genre that really laid out what this society would look like.

The book is structured in a series of novel entries and notebook reports by a journalist from the United States who has gone to this country called Ecotopia, which is sort of where the Pacific Northwest states are. And he's basically breaking down, he's going to different parts of the country and breaking down how they have lived and how they have decided to structure their lives.

Ecotopia

And even though not every aspect of it is one that I would want to see implemented, I still think that it really sparks the imagination, really gets you thinking, well, maybe I wouldn't do it this way, but how else could this be done?

History of Seattle from the Earliest Settlement to the Present Time, Volume Two, which I started pouring through and found that there was in 1874, there was a group called the Seattle Amateur Rifle Association, which leased land for a range on current present day Capitol Hill,

I did some digging and found in a book called History of Seattle from the earliest settlement to the present time volume two which I started pouring through and found that there was in 1874 there was a group called the Seattle amateur rifle association which leased land for a range on current present day capitol hill like right where the train station is if you're familiar with the area so like right where protests always happen these days yeah later on there's record record in 1877 of the Seattle rifle team organizing and shooting contests and then later on in 1886 which is a number that probably rings a bell the chinese riots as they called them at the time uh happened which was sort of the start of the labor movement where everyone decided that chinese immigrants were the cause of all of our woes that the low wages being paid to chinese immigrants were because of chinese immigrants and not racism so they decided to run every person who looked chinese out of town literally uh they referred to this as the tacoma method and i'm guessing because that's what they did in tacoma exactly it started there and uh it was a february 7th of 1886 this massive angry racist mob tried to push all the chinese folks out of seattle or anyone they thought might look like chinese and they tried to push them onto a steamboat but there weren't there wasn't enough room for them all there um cops got involved a bunch of other stuff happened they decided no give them time in court but uh in the process of making this decision you know the racist got a mob together and we're basically just going to try and put a stop to this before they the legal proceedings could to go forward so they reached out to local allies in arms they had the home guards which i'm not exactly sure exactly what the home guards were but i assume there's something related to national guard later on or maybe just an extension of military but the home guards and the seattle rifles as well as the university cadets which i'm assuming are of course soldiers in training and uh pulled them all out and made a community self-defense group out of them they put a rifle line and held the mob back and enabled those folks to get you know safely to have their day in court and then to protect them for a while afterward they actually organized uh a sort of a watch because they didn't have enough police to to manage the mob they used folks from the seattle rifles and these other groups to uh to sort of bolster the police forces and keep peace in the town so the sort of thing that we do is long standing historical presence but i think there's a lot of things you can look at the history of and sort of take lessons from so um as as fray mentioned a unified response is of course a huge benefit of having a huge strength of having an organized armed group and it's it's literally if someone reaches out and says we need help help is available but there are a lot of weaknesses uh businesses and clubs can be held liable legally and this is an endemic problem within gun laws it stands the laws are written such that they effectively they're that it comes down to situational context to determine how a gun law should be enforced and the law will never be on the side of a group trying to abolish parts of the law so you have to be very careful about how you how especially an organized or formally organized armed group has to be very careful about how they put their their work in play with that in mind

Elon is not someone who would say, 'I feel you. I see your point of view.' Because he doesn't have that 'I feel you' dimension where things that seemed obvious to other people that weren't that obvious to him.

I don't really give a damn what you think

i'm evan rattliffe last season we tackled the ingenuity of Elon Musk with biographer walter isaacson this time we're diving into the story of benjamin franklin another genius who's desperate to be dusted off from history his media empire makes him the most successful self-made business person in america i mean he was never early to bed an early to rise type person he's enormously famous women start wearing their hair and what was called the quaffur a la franklin and who's more relevant now than ever the only other person who could have possibly been the first president would have been benjamin franklin but he's too old and once washington to do it listen to on benjamin franklin with walter isaacson on the i heart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts

So I've been looking at my copy of Maps of Meaning and yeah. Terrible book, I apologize.

Terrible chaotic forces lurk behind the facade of the normal world. These forces are kept at bay by the maintenance of social order. The reign of order is insufficient, however, because order itself becomes overbearing and deadly if allowed unregulated or permanent expression.

The actions of the hero constitute an antidote to the deadly forces of chaos and to the tyranny of order. The hero creates order from chaos and reconstructs the order when necessary, that order when necessary.

Religion was for the ignorant, weak and superstitious, he wrote. I stopped attending church. I joined the modern world.

Peterson has a way of making even the mildest pronouncement sound like the dying declaration of a political prisoner.

When he started to speak, he would hear a voice telling him, you don't believe that. That isn't true.

Well, that's all the time Dr. Peterson has for us today.

Peterson has a way of making even the mildest pronouncement sound like the dying declaration of a political prisoner. In Maps of Meaning, he traced this sense of urgency to a feeling of fraudulence that overcame him in college. When he started to speak, he would hear a voice telling him, 'you don't believe that. That isn't true.' To ward off mental breakdown, he resolved not to say anything unless he was sure he believed it.

Religion was for the ignorant, weak and superstitious, he wrote. I stopped attending church. I joined the modern world.

And then you read about it more in books by Dr. George Peterson.

Bureaucratic knowledge is all about schematization. In practice, bureaucratic procedure invariably means ignoring all the subtleties of real-life existence and reducing everything to preconceived mechanical or statistical formula.

Bureaucratic violence should consist first and foremost on attacks on those who insist on alternative schemas or interpretations.

If you've read Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber, you'll see that a lot of particularly service economy jobs are practically worthless.

Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber and Bullshit Jobs was also kind of partially inspired by Bob Black's the the abolition of work

The Bullshit Jobs is definitely very timely and even even even crime thinks workbook Also also addresses stuff or even though it's wasn't not written within the past I I think it is maybe slightly older than a decade

One of the things he's argues in Bullshit Jobs. Is that basically? You know, okay. So so if you have

And another part of like anti-work theories is looking is looking at our society as it's built, you know Because it is it is tied to anarchism be like how much of this is actually necessary

The amount of extra energy we have by not having 10-hour horrible shifts that drain ourselves mentally and physically and More in with you know with the amount of most of the work that we people do as shown in David Graeber's

Also "Bullshit Jobs" by David Graeber and "Bullshit Jobs" was also kind of partially inspired by Bob Black's "The" the abolition of work.

The Bullshit Jobs is definitely very timely and even even even crime thinks workbook Also also addresses stuff or even though it's wasn't not written within the past I I think it is maybe slightly older than a decade

One of the things he's argues in "Bullshit Jobs" Is that basically? You know, okay, So so if you have like you have the Soviet economy, right?

And you know what it points to is it like yeah, you know a graver called this total bureaucratization which is that you know What we did instead of like giving ourselves more free time is created this just like endless enormous incredibly violent bureaucracy

And another part of like anti-work theories is looking is looking at our society as it's built, you know Because it is it is tied to anarchism be like how much of this is actually necessary like how do we do we really need a McRib?

And also Bullshit Jobs by David Graber.

And the Bullshit Jobs is definitely very timely.

And I think this is one of the things speaking of you talk about David Graeber earlier, who's an anarchist, anthropologist and widely seen to be like one of the most brilliant anthropologists of his generation. He recently deceased. But a book that he wrote before he died with another and another fellow came out recently called The Dawn of Everything that talks a lot about how, yeah, these ideas that kind of capitalism has a vested interest in you believing that the world was always hard in the way that it's hard.

And I think also even if you go towards things that like look more like labor to us, right, like I don't know, like look like if you look at like feudal levies, right, you're a peasant. You have to give some amount of grain to your lord. But like, OK, we work way longer than medieval peasants did. And not only do we work longer, it is something Graber and David Wenger talk about in that book is like, yeah, like not only do we work much longer, like the amount that we work would have been considered absolutely like even even a feudal lord would look at that much work and go, no, like this is this is this is like.

And this is also something that comes up in tribe by younger, the way in which like during the early period of colonization of North America, it was very common for, you know, Europeans to leave the cities and towns being established behind and join up with the tribes. Yeah. The reverse never happened. Like, yeah, like not willingly, not without kidnapping being a part of it. And it's because like their attitude was they were looking at the lives these people were living in these cities and like, well, why would you agree to do that?

One of the things he argues in Bullshit Jobs is that basically. You know, OK, so so if you have like you have the Soviet economy, right? OK, so the Soviet economy has has a policy of full employment. And for a little bit, they were like, OK, what if we make everyone work less? And then they stopped and then like everything went to shit. So, you know, OK, but if you can't make people work less hours and everyone has to work, what do you do?

And one of the great is like funniest points that he brings up is that the total number of bureaucrats in the ex USSR like increased dramatically after the USSR fell. Which is incredible.

And another part of like anti work theory is looking is looking at our society as it's built, you know, because it is it is tied to anarchism and be like, how much of this is actually necessary? Like, how do we do we really need a McRib? Like, do we do? Well, what do you what do you what do you do?

And there's been some criticisms of that, but it is undoubted that a very significant amount of total labor time spent is stuff that isn't necessary for any reason of like making people's lives better.

Yeah, there's like there's some quibbling about because the book was based off of a study, like a survey that kind of showed a lot of very significant chunk of the workforce thinks their job is like pointless and doesn't do anything.

And, you know, with the amount of most of the work that we people do, as shown in David Graper's Bullshit Jobs, is like not necessary. Like a lot of like a lot of the work that we do as a whole is not.

And I think the best thing about what you've said, in my opinion, is the idea that like this is not. The importance is not on whether or not this this causes everyone to stop having to work immediately, like whether or not it leads to, you know, directly to like the measure of success of this movement isn't that nobody ever has to work again. That's a that's a long term goal.

The measure of the success of this movement is that people accept in mass that know the American dream as it's sold to people is not a good thing. It's not a thing to aspire to. Work is bullshit and we should aspire to a society that doesn't do it.

Bullshit Jobs by David Graber.

And Bullshit Jobs was also kind of partially inspired by Bob Black's "The Abolition of Work".

And the Bullshit Jobs is definitely very timely.

And I think this is one of the things speaking of you talk about David Graeber earlier, who's an anarchist, anthropologist and widely seen to be like one of the most brilliant anthropologists of his generation.

And in fact, most of human civilization, people have not done a thing that we would recognize as labor.

And I think also even if you go towards things that like look more like labor to us, right, like I don't know, like look like if you look at like feudal levies, right, you're a peasant.

And not only do we work longer, it is something Graber and David Wenger talk about in that book is like, yeah, like not only do we work much longer, like the amount that we work would have been considered absolutely like even even a feudal lord would look at that much work and go, no, like this is this is this is like.

He wrote a piece called Turning Modes of Production Inside Out where he has this argument that like, OK, so if you take, you know, if you take like Plato, right, you're like you take any of the Greek philosophers, even the conservative ones, and you show them this, the thing the thing that we do every day.

And I think the specific thing with Greece is that like, you know, you the only way you could do that to someone in Greece is if you owned them.

But it's just to say that, like the kinds of things that we think of as normal, like are things that like the people who, you know, the people who run the system and the people who, you know, get cited all the time, justify stuff would have looked at as like the worst thing that could possibly have happened to a society.

Like it's it's and if you think about it that way, like one of the things Graber does a good job of going into is like the way in which and this is also something that comes up in tribe by younger, the way in which like during the early period of colonization of North America, it was very common for, you know, Europeans to leave the cities and towns being established behind and join up with the tribes.

And this is turning anyway, Garrison, you should you should take us back on the rails.

And I think, you know, but I think the specific thing with Greece is that like, you know, you the only way you could do that to someone in Greece is if you owned them.

One of my favorite ways to think about anti work is just like anti capitalism put into actual practice.

So it's sort of, you know, just debating online about anti capitalism as some, you know, future things like, no, like what can you do to actually, you know, make capitalism a less important part of how you live your life every day, which means, you know, not obsessing over careers and all these kind of other things.

And another part of like anti work theory is looking is looking at our society as it's built, you know, because it is it is tied to anarchism and be like, how much of this is actually necessary?

And I think, you know, it's humans.

So, you know, the the main point, one of the main points of the abolition of work, I say by Bob Black is about like no one should work because because work is as defined as like as like as like a forced labor practice is you can kind of track this to being the source of most of the misery in the world from, you know, in individual people who are forced to do this.

So, you know, I I kind of I kind of I kind of look at this as like the I kind of look at this as like whenever I have to turn the compost, which is not my favorite thing to do.

It's not the problem is not the individual tasks necessarily.

And again, one of the things and I think this is one of the things speaking of you talk about David Graeber earlier, who's an anarchist, anthropologist and widely seen to be like one of the most brilliant anthropologists of his generation.

The Fountainheads actually could be like a fine movie.

Why is Ron Paul hollowing a six inch hole out of a copy of the fountain head?

From an early age, he fell in love with the writing of Ayn Rand, particularly The Fountainhead, which is, I know.

This book has a big influence on the guy.

Why is Ron Paul hollowing a six inch hole out of a copy of the fountain head?

Yeah, face palm. Yeah. Bibi identified strongly with Howard Rourke, the heroic architect ubermensch of the story.

This book has a big influence on the guy.

How do you have your formative years during the civil rights era, and that's what you pick up? You pick up Ayn Rand.

Anton LaVey publishes The Satanic Bible in 1969 which became the central text for the Church of Satan which probably had its heyday in the 1970s.

Now the reality is that The Satanic Bible was both largely plagiarized and more or less just a self-help book with an edgy wrapping to it.

In this arid wilderness of steel and stone, I raise up my voice that you may hear to the east and to the west I beckon, to the north and to the south I show a sign, proclaiming death to the weakling, wealth to the strong.

Mankind is a weary, a weary of its sham profits, its demagogues and its statesmen. It cryeth out for kings and heroes. It demands an ability, an ability that cannot be hired with money like slaves or beasts of burden. The world awaits the coming of mighty men of valor, great destroyers, destroyers of all that is vile, angels of death. We are sick unto nausea of the good Lord Jesus. Terror is stricken under that executive of priest mob and pro-console. We are tired to death of equality. Gods are at a discount. Devils are in demand.

The free man is born free lives free and dies free he is even though living in an artificial civilization above all laws all constitutions all theories of right and wrong he supports and defends them of course as long as they suit his own end but if they don't then he annihilates them by the easiest and most direct method of royalty.

A man's family is his property. It is part of himself. Therefore, his natural business is to defend it as he would his own life. Women and children belong to man who must hunt for them as well as for himself. He is their lord and master in theory and in fact.

From Sandy Hook to London Tower, from Jaffa to Japan. They can take who have the power. They may keep who can. This is the law of heaven and hell, stupendous and divine. The highest holiest law of all that governs mine and thine.

Women are frail beings at the best of times and in their secret hearts are probably lovers of the unlimited. For the welfare of the breed and the security of descent they must be held in thorough subjection. Man has captured them and besides providing for and protecting them it is necessary to keep them on the chain as it were. Woe to him, woe unto them, and woe unto our race if ever these lovable creatures should break loose from master'ship and become rulers or equals of man. But that is impossible, he adds in parentheses.

We're living and dying, mostly dying, in a poisonous environment of deep-seated moral dementia, social disease and political illusions. The righteous and the just, hypocrites, deceivers, enemies of all that is noble, courageous and manly, destroyers of self-assertiveness, annihilators of heroism, wood that I had a legion of demons to ring neck.

A woman is primarily a reproductive cell organism, a womb structurally embastioned by a protective defensive osseous network surrounded with the antennae and blood vessels necessary for supplying nutriment to the growing ovum or embryo.

Sexualism and maternity dominate the lives of all true women to such an extent is this so that they have very little time left or inclination to think and therefore they've never been fitted out ab in it with reasoning organs. Probably this is what Muhammad alluded to when he sentiously affirmed that women have no soul, even in man the soul is probably a fiction, but in woman its absence is an absolute certainty.

Kerry Falwell would later recall that his father was a prankster. Kerry once brought a friend home who admitted he was scared of Kerry. Kerry told his father of his friend's fear, half-cautioning, half-goat-ing Kerry as he brought the young man into the house. When the young friend walked in, Kerry shouted, Stopped, aimed a pistol at the boy's feet and shot a hole in the floor a few inches in front of his shoes.

Some of the pranks were cruel, however, as when Kerry decided he had enough complaints from one of his workers. When the man called in sick, Kerry offered to have lunch brought to his house, then killed and skinned the man's cat, putting it into a squirrel stew, and sent it to the man's home for lunch.

Falwell had been profoundly disturbed by the actions of the federal government legalizing abortion, removing prayer from the public schools, sending the IRS after Christian academies to him this amounted to a political assault on his turf, the moral fiber of the nation and he could begin to envision politics as the means to beating back the assault.

God's Right Hand is like a really good biography by Winters. It has a lot of really good info in it but Winters also kind of comes across as well he's critical of a lot that Falwell did fundamentally sympathetic to the man as a human being and I think he misses like the fact that he phrases it as sending the IRS after Christian academies and I'm sure that's how Falwell would like to report it like what Falwell was pissed about was them stopping Christians from segregating schools.

In God's Right Hand, Michael Winters notes that Falwell was constitutionally incapable of eating healthy food.

Falwell's Liberty Journal discerned a sinister agenda regarding Tinky Winky.

He is purple, the gay pride color and his antenna is shaped like a triangle, the gay pride symbol noted the February issue.

The decision by the Supreme Court legalizing abortion on demand did more to destroy our nation than any other decision it has made.

The family is the fundamental building block and basic unit of our society and it's continued health as a prerequisite for a healthy and prosperous nation. No nation has ever been stronger than the families within her.
