I want to go sergeant Peterson Peterson 00:00:00
I want to go sergeant Peterson Peterson do you have any comments on the Nazi 00:00:02
presence at your protest the presence of 00:00:04
Nazis or white supremacist assaulting 00:00:07
people at your protest you have any 00:00:09
comment on that yeah then why why were 00:00:10
they here how can I are there other have 00:00:14
you been alignment with yours at some 00:00:17
time in your life this question book you 00:00:19
want to know what my views are I've 00:00:21
watched all of your videos yes including 00:00:23
Gregory yes I have yes and why would you 00:00:25
ask such a question because this is my 00:00:27
interpretation in the video apparently 00:00:29
all of the people who arranged the 00:00:31
protest against you washed all of your 00:00:32
videos do you want to disavow 150 videos 00:00:34
on you know your lectures which starts 00:00:37
the day not under Savalas before you let 00:00:40
me talk to her for a moment 00:00:43
don't call me that leave so I have a 00:00:44
hundred fifty lectures on YouTube 00:00:48
there's 500 hours of what you do you 00:00:49
really think that you're worth all of 00:00:52
that time so I will answer your question 00:00:53
okay 00:00:56
I've studied Nazism for a very long time 00:00:56
it's been for decades and I understand 00:00:58
it very well and I can tell you that 00:01:01
there's some awful people lurking in the 00:01:03
corner and they're ready to come out and 00:01:04
if the radical left keeps pushing the 00:01:06
way that was very much like a terror 00:01:08
army to come that sounds very much very 00:01:09
much like a threat would you like to 00:01:12
disavow the physical violence trans 00:01:13
people were physically assaulted at this 00:01:16
rally in your name would you like to 00:01:17
disavow that virus so you wish that 00:01:19
didn't happen and you want to and I'm 00:01:22
going to post this online that you would 00:01:23
like people to not to be to be more 00:01:25
accommodating of trans people and people 00:01:28
of color at your events in future I'm 00:01:30
I'm a person of color and I felt very 00:01:33
economy person I thank you so if you 00:01:35
like this guy's you want to be Ramon you 00:01:39
wanted to disavow it and this is the 00:01:43
disavow Latoya I am NOT an advocate of 00:01:44
violence I'm speaking out the way I'm 00:01:47
sleeping out because I think this is a 00:01:48
roof to no violence and violence is 00:01:50
lurking and you can say that that sounds 00:01:53
like a tree with no violence at our 00:01:54
protest though there was violence at 00:01:56
your protest so what does that say about 00:01:57
our view my provide violence 00:01:58
asking me continually fray the question 00:02:01
is a very Helen society don't have 00:02:03
eternal you have no idea if I'm your 00:02:04
enemy you have no idea about you won't 00:02:06
you my pronoun so I'm pretty sure you're 00:02:08
my enemy yes yeah well I know what you 00:02:10
think that but I don't believe that 00:02:11
using your pronouns is going to do you 00:02:13
any good in the long run but would you 00:02:15
use alternate pronouns if a student 00:02:18
asked you to I think I've made my 00:02:20
position on that clear already well 00:02:23
perhaps not to our audience at home who 00:02:25
are just being introduced to this would 00:02:27
you use alternate notes and why not I 00:02:28
because I don't believe that other 00:02:32
people have the right to determine what 00:02:33
language I use especially when it's 00:02:35
backed by punitive legislation and when 00:02:36
the words that are being required are 00:02:39
the constructions there are artificial 00:02:41
constructions of people I regard as 00:02:43
radical ideologue who's viewpoint I do 00:02:45
not share and building up c16 is 00:02:47
actually not about cisgender people it's 00:02:51
about protections for transgender people 00:02:54
and that's not you know it's not about 00:02:56
Jordan Peterson so you know we should 00:02:58
have people learning to listen more we 00:03:01
have two ears and one mouth for a very 00:03:03
good reason when things get political I 00:03:05
like to ask who benefits and who gets to 00:03:07
decide the rules of the game so you know 00:03:11
mostly with this Peterson controversy 00:03:13
which is really just a small drama 00:03:16
tempest in a teapot you know he could 00:03:17
just get over learning to program a few 00:03:20
pronouns into his phone by the way I 00:03:22
only have half a dozen or so that I 00:03:23
actually use on an everyday basis so 00:03:24
it's not all that difficult 00:03:27
sorry now that's been good job because I 00:03:28
think professor Peterson wants to get in 00:03:30
on that 00:03:32
yeah well kindness is the excuse that 00:03:33
social justice warriors used when they 00:03:36
want to exercise control over what other 00:03:37
people think and say so you know if 00:03:39
we're banding back and forth our 00:03:42
differences in values you know I would 00:03:44
say that the highest possible value is 00:03:48
truth and that one of the concomitant is 00:03:49
that is that is that we need stringent 00:03:52
protection for freedom of speech so that 00:03:54
we can utter the truths that we see fit 00:03:56
and I think that that's a value that's 00:03:57
much higher than than kindness for 00:04:00
example I mean there's lots of 00:04:02
situations in life where where kindness 00:04:04
in the immediate present is not the 00:04:06
appropriate way to react at all but so 00:04:08
for example when you discipline children 00:04:11
you are 00:04:12
to hurt their feelings in the short term 00:04:13
so that they can learn to behave 00:04:15
properly in the medium to long term so 00:04:17
that their lives go well and so this 00:04:20
automatic assumption that the people on 00:04:22
the social justice warrior side of the 00:04:24
equation are motivated only by kindness 00:04:26
when they're also clearly motivated by 00:04:28
power is something I find completely 00:04:30
untenable and I don't think that Pete's 00:04:31
solution to program my cellphone so that 00:04:33
I can remember what names people need to 00:04:35
be called is a reasonable solution at 00:04:38
all we're actually supposed to now use 00:04:39
electronic devices to bolster our 00:04:41
ability to speak freely how do you a 00:04:43
memory Ames and someone that these 00:04:46
made-up pronouns of which there are many 00:04:49
dozens in fact and there's no consensus 00:04:52
on them and that doesn't even begin to 00:04:55
start a discussion about the use of the 00:04:57
other kin pronouns and you can look 00:05:00
those up if you want because if you can 00:05:02
define your identity subjectively any 00:05:04
way you want then there's absolutely no 00:05:06
reason that you can't claim a nonhuman 00:05:07
identity and you may not know but in the 00:05:09
LGBT rainbow coalition there is Q plus 00:05:11
and the Q plus people include the other 00:05:15
kids who claim a nonhuman identity and 00:05:17
they're arguing in that rainbow 00:05:19
coalition that they have the same right 00:05:21
to their to their pronouns that everyone 00:05:23
else does and their pronouns include 00:05:25
such things as work worm self you're not 00:05:27
supposed to interrupt actually I was 00:05:31
just going to ask if you could go back 00:05:33
to the point about the analogy between 00:05:35
the racial slur and the end I don't 00:05:38
think there's any analogy at all but I 00:05:40
think what difference when we hear I'm 00:05:42
talking about compelled speech there's a 00:05:44
difference between saying that there's 00:05:46
something you can't say and saying that 00:05:48
there are things that you have to say 00:05:50
and I regard these made-up pronouns all 00:05:52
of them as the neologisms of radical PC 00:05:55
authoritarians 00:06:00
you understand that and I don't I'm not 00:06:01
a fan of that sort of person and the 00:06:04
reason I'm not a fan of that sort of 00:06:06
person is because I've done my homework 00:06:08
I've read everything I can get my hands 00:06:10
on in the development of authoritarian 00:06:13
political systems and I know the 00:06:14
literature inside out and backwards and 00:06:16
I am NOT going to be a mouthpiece for 00:06:18
language that I detest 00:06:22
and that's back who I'm a great admirer 00:06:25
of once described an old religious idea 00:06:32
and that was that God ruled the world 00:06:35
with two hands right and left mercy and 00:06:39
justice and the world couldn't survive 00:06:42
if only mercy applied because then no 00:06:45
one would ever be encouraged to adopt 00:06:48
the trappings and responsibilities of 00:06:53
adulthood you end up in a situation 00:06:56
where you're forgiven for absolutely 00:06:58
everything you do or fail to do you're 00:07:01
you're you're thrust into the Freudian 00:07:03
nightmare of the oedipal family where 00:07:06
your utter uselessness is forgiven on 00:07:09
the grounds of compassion and you end up 00:07:13
living in your mother's basement until 00:07:17
you produce fantasies as a consequence 00:07:19
of your squelched development of perhaps 00:07:24
going out and shooting up a high school 00:07:26
Mercy in its success produces pathology justice and antic set in its excess 00:07:36
produces pathology too because people 00:07:38
are not 00:07:40
are not perfect and that means that we all fail when we attempt to do the 00:07:50
things that we know that we should do 00:07:52
and so being held to account for our 00:07:53
failures has to be tempered by Mercy but 00:07:58
both principles have to apply justice 00:08:01
means their structure and rules and the 00:08:04
people who abide by the structure and 00:08:08
play by the rules and move towards the 00:08:09
top win and mercy means we're forgiving 00:08:11
our failures so that we can rise up and 00:08:16
play again but you can't have one 00:08:18
without the other because the world 00:08:22
falls apart if you do and this is my 00:08:23
problem with tolerance because tolerant 00:08:26
people first of all let's say those who 00:08:29
claim proclaim the virtues of tolerance 00:08:32
believe that they're tolerant but 00:08:34
generally that's not the case 00:08:36
they just don't want to accept the 00:08:38
responsibility that playing by the rules 00:08:40
would bring 00:08:43
one of the problems with post-modernism is that and this is a big problem like 00:08:55
there's a fatal problem apart from the 00:08:58
fact that it's incoherent and there's no 00:09:00
value structure in it and it's 00:09:02
fundamentally divisive and destructive 00:09:03
there's a logical problem with it too 00:09:05
that's even worse and so you might be 00:09:07
noticing that the LGBT set of acronyms 00:09:09
keeps growing hay and its kind of its 00:09:12
kind of a form of its own parody in some 00:09:15
sense it's like well I'm impressed it's 00:09:17
like yeah you are and well I'm impressed 00:09:19
too yeah you're also oppressed and maybe 00:09:21
I'm even impressing you being part of 00:09:23
this other marginalized group but at 00:09:25
least we share our oppression well I'm 00:09:27
also oppressed well so am i I'm 00:09:28
oppressed to it's like okay so here's a 00:09:30
problem there's a big problem here the 00:09:34
problem is it's true 00:09:36
yer oppress your oppressed your 00:09:38
oppressed you're oppressed 00:09:40
god only knows why maybe you're too 00:09:41
short or you're not as beautiful as you 00:09:43
could be or you know your parent your 00:09:45
grandparent was a serf likely because 00:09:47
almost everybody's grand great 00:09:49
grandparent was it's like you know and 00:09:50
you're not as smart as you could be and 00:09:53
you have a sick relative and you have 00:09:54
your own physical problems and it's like 00:09:57
frankly you're a mess and you're 00:09:59
oppressed in every possible way 00:10:01
including your ancestry and your biology 00:10:03
and the entire sum of human history has 00:10:05
conspired to produce victimized you with 00:10:08
all your individual pathological 00:10:11
problems it's like yes true well so what 00:10:14
do you do in the face of that suffering 00:10:18
try to reduce it start with yourself 00:10:20
what good are you get yourself together 00:10:24
for Christ's sake so that when your 00:10:27
father dies you're not whining away in a 00:10:28
corner and you can help plan the funeral 00:10:30
and you can stand up solidly so that 00:10:32
people can rely on you that's better 00:10:35
don't be a damn victim of course you're 00:10:37
a victim Jesus obviously how do you 00:10:39
overcome the suffering of life is be a 00:10:43
better person that's how you do it well 00:10:45
that's hard it takes responsibility 00:10:49
there's all these rude people out there 00:10:51
they've got problems like you can't 00:10:54
believe off they go to work and do 00:10:55
things they don't even like and look the 00:10:58
lights are on my god it's unbelievable 00:11:00
it's it's a miracle it's a mirror 00:11:02
and we're so ungrateful college students 00:11:05
the postmodern types they're so 00:11:09
ungrateful you know they don't know that 00:11:10
they're surrounded by it just a bloody 00:11:12
miracle it's a miracle at all this stuff 00:11:14
works with all you crazy chimpanzees 00:11:17
that don't know each other can sit in 00:11:19
the same room for two hours 00:11:20
sweltering away without tearing each 00:11:22
other apart because that's what chimps 00:11:25
do so with regards to respect you know 00:11:26
you said well human civilization 00:11:34
progresses a lot better if we respect 00:11:36
one another and I actually don't believe 00:11:39
that at all I believe that human 00:11:40
civilization progresses and maintains 00:11:42
itself when we respect people who've 00:11:45
earned respect they don't just respect 00:11:47
everybody randomly what the hell use is 00:11:49
respect if you just respect people 00:11:51
randomly 00:11:53
it's like inflating the currency you 00:11:54
know it's like the Simpsons episode 00:11:56
where you know Bart gets a trophy 00:11:58
because it's every child gets a trophy 00:12:00
day all you do is inflate the currency 00:12:02
respect is actually limited to that 00:12:04
category of people who have earned 00:12:06
respect in some manners so whatever 00:12:08
you're talking about with regards to say 00:12:10
common decency between people it's not 00:12:12
respect and the definition is actually 00:12:14
not they matter a law and so I hear the 00:12:16
respect argument all the time but you 00:12:20
also can't force me to respect you you 00:12:22
mean you might be able to force me to 00:12:24
act like I respect you but you can't 00:12:26
force me to respect you it's just not 00:12:28
possible there's a complex issue here 00:12:30
which is to what degree do you allow 00:12:32
individuals to to govern the 00:12:34
conversation that's had about them in 00:12:37
their presence or otherwise but I would 00:12:39
just revert back to my original argument 00:12:41
which is that's a negotiation it's 00:12:43
either in negotiation 00:12:45
you got three states to negotiate with 00:12:46
someone you can be their slave or you 00:12:48
can be their tyrant and I would pick 00:12:52
negotiation but as far as I'm concerned 00:12:54
the law right now as it's currently 00:12:56
instantiated is a tyrant and it makes 00:12:57
people into its slave and we're going to 00:12:59
pay for that and it's paid predicated on 00:13:01
hypothetically on respect and compassion 00:13:04
I don't buy that for a second I don't 00:13:06
think that's true in the least and 00:13:08
there's a huge literature on compassion 00:13:09
here's a problem with compassion mother 00:13:12
grizzly bears are very very compact 00:13:15
towards their Cubs but if you get near 00:13:18
those Cubs they'll carry the pieces and 00:13:22
that's the flipside of compassion and 00:13:23
I'm speaking not as a lawyer here but as 00:13:25
a psychologist that's already well 00:13:27
documented compassion is by no means a 00:13:29
an emotion that produces the desired 00:13:32
social outcome quite the contrary 00:13:35
quite the contrary life is very much 00:13:37
more complicated than then well if you 00:13:40
were just empathic everything would work 00:13:42
out it's like you can't be equally 00:13:44
empathic to everyone and that's a big 00:13:46
problem 00:13:48
they basically in order to not bother 00:13:48
anyone who they had consulted with they 00:13:52
decided for example that gender identity 00:13:54
should be nothing but subjective choice 00:13:56
which is I don't even know what to say 00:13:58
about that if you're a psychologist and 00:14:00
you have any sense at all that's a 00:14:02
completely insane proposition it's first 00:14:04
of all predicated on the idea that your 00:14:06
identity is your subjective choice and 00:14:08
that's never been the case for any sort 00:14:10
of identity anywhere so partly your 00:14:13
identity is the set of tools with which 00:14:15
you function in the optional world and 00:14:17
part of it is a negotiated agreement 00:14:19
with the other people around you and 00:14:21
that's all being taken out of them 00:14:23
that's that's all actually as far as I 00:14:24
can tell that's lying theorizing is 00:14:26
technically illegal now in Ontario and 00:14:28
I'm not even talking about the potential 00:14:31
biological basis of identity because the 00:14:32
idea that identity has no biological 00:14:35
basis that's just wrong 00:14:37
it might've actually wrong so and we've 00:14:40
written a social constructionist we've 00:14:43
written a radical social constructionist 00:14:45
view of identity into the law but even 00:14:48
worse than that we've gone beyond social 00:14:51
constructionism because Piaget was a 00:14:52
construction is into just pure whim your 00:14:54
identity can be at any moment what you 00:14:57
assume that it's going to be that's not 00:14:58
a tenable solution there's nothing about 00:15:01
that proposition that's reasonable so 00:15:03
I'm going to read you something that a 00:15:06
graduate student sent me from the 00:15:07
University of Toronto the other day and 00:15:10
I can also tell you that I've received 00:15:11
hundreds of letters like this today I 00:15:13
had a tutorial at the University of 00:15:16
Toronto where I talked about Jordan 00:15:18
Peterson and issues of personal identity 00:15:20
legally sanctioned identity categories 00:15:23
etc I brought up a video of a tall white 00:15:25
man in his 30s who asked students at 00:15:28
to see how they'd react if he told them 00:15:31
he identified as a woman as black as 00:15:33
short and as five years old 00:15:36
spoiler alert students in the video 00:15:39
resist some of the later categories a 00:15:43
bit but are mostly accepting still 00:15:44
students were not engaging in discussion 00:15:48
I asked them why one said it was because 00:15:50
she was worried to share her opinion for 00:15:54
fear of being singled out or saying 00:15:57
something offensive I asked who else was 00:15:59
not speaking for that reason the whole 00:16:02
class put their hands up no 00:16:06
participation why they weren't 00:16:09
uninterested they were afraid to speak 00:16:15
their minds I'll start with lawyer one 00:16:18
who was the counsel to several prime 00:16:20
ministers he talked to me about the 00:16:22
Human Rights Tribunal because I went and 00:16:23
saw him two weeks after this all started 00:16:25
Human Rights Tribunal is a kangaroo 00:16:27
court in my opinion and it should be 00:16:30
abolished as fast as possible it's one 00:16:31
of the many institutions in Canada that 00:16:34
pose a threat to your to your freedom 00:16:35
that that is of almost unimaginable 00:16:37
proportions here's what this top lawyer 00:16:40
told me if I'm taken in front of the 00:16:42
Human Rights Tribunal it will cost me 00:16:46
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars I 00:16:48
will pay the legal costs for my 00:16:49
opponents and I will lose he said go 00:16:51
back to your safe little life and shut 00:16:55
your mouth the proposition that your 00:16:57
identity is somehow unmoored from a 00:17:00
reality outside of your subjective 00:17:04
saying linguistic space is also if it's 00:17:05
wrong there's no other way of putting it 00:17:09
so like and this is written into the law 00:17:11
already so the proposition is that 00:17:13
biological sex which many of the holders 00:17:16
of saying what admiration for this law 00:17:19
don't even believe exists which I don't 00:17:22
even know what to say about that but the 00:17:24
proposition is that biological sex 00:17:26
gender identity gender expression and 00:17:29
sexual preference vary independently 00:17:32
that's the law and it's wrong it is even 00:17:36
close to right the bloody human 00:17:39
resources department 00:17:42
University of Toronto have the docket 00:17:43
inequity position okay so what equity 00:17:45
means is that the doesn't mean equality 00:17:48
of opportunity it means equality of 00:17:50
outcome and that is the so this is the 00:17:52
idea the idea is that you take us a 00:17:56
social institution like a university and 00:18:00
then you look at the organization of 00:18:02
that university at every single strap 00:18:05
from that executive level all the way 00:18:07
down to the student level then what you 00:18:09
do is you do an analysis of each level 00:18:11
by community democracy right you get to 00:18:13
define the demographic characteristics 00:18:17
that you're going to discuss however 00:18:18
which is actually a big problem then you 00:18:20
make the presupposition that unless that 00:18:22
organization at every level matches the 00:18:25
demographic representation of the people 00:18:28
at every level then is corrupt 00:18:31
oppressive and discriminatory and it 00:18:33
needs to be changed okay so you think 00:18:36
what's wrong with that every level 00:18:38
should have 50/50 men and women let's 00:18:40
say it's like you're really sure about 00:18:42
that are you so sure about that 00:18:43
you don't think there's any natural 00:18:45
differences in interest between men and 00:18:46
women well if you don't think so then 00:18:48
why are most psychology classes 80 00:18:50
percent women and that and that amount 00:18:52
on differentiation is accelerating 00:18:55
rapidly like I've seen it over the 00:18:58
course of my career maybe sixty percent 00:19:00
man at the beginning of my career is 00:19:02
he's like 80 percent women now and man 00:19:04
occupy more of the positions of the 00:19:06
Stemmons in the stem stem fields at 00:19:07
least for now it's the same in bloody 00:19:11
Scandinavia 20 to 1 nurses 20 to 1 women 00:19:13
to man nurses in Scandinavia and 20 to 1 00:19:17
men to women in engineering a massive 00:19:20
Scandinavian so what's happened in 00:19:24
Scandinavia that they made this 00:19:26
assignment or egalitarian in terms of 00:19:27
its legal and social structures is that 00:19:30
the gender differences in personality 00:19:32
between men and women have not bigger 00:19:33
not smaller so what that means is that 00:19:36
social constructionism is wrong that's 00:19:39
what it means 00:19:42
wrong disprove it's exactly the opposite 00:19:43
of what the theory would have predicted 00:19:46
because the theory predicted 00:19:48
Daugherty knew how it was gonna sort 00:19:49
itself out it's like not like people 00:19:51
knew this to begin with 00:19:53
the idea was that as you Iike lies the 00:19:54
social the social structure that the 00:19:58
differences between men and women would 00:20:02
disappear guess what that didn't happen 00:20:03
and it's not studies of just a few 00:20:06
hundred people in a few locations those 00:20:08
are population wide studies and they've 00:20:10
been replicated multiple times so and 00:20:12
the funny thing is is that so there are 00:20:14
temperamental differences between men 00:20:17
and women 00:20:18
it's and neuroticism agreeableness are 00:20:19
not the only temperamental differences 00:20:22
so if you fragment extraversion it 00:20:24
fragments into assertiveness and 00:20:27
gregariousness women are more gregarious 00:20:29
many more assertive if you fragment 00:20:31
conscientiousness it's orderliness and 00:20:34
industrious that's women are more 00:20:36
orderly at men are more industrious if 00:20:38
you fragment openness which is the 00:20:40
creativity dimension into interest in 00:20:42
ideas and the interest in aesthetics you 00:20:44
find that women are more interested in 00:20:46
this day and men are more interested in 00:20:47
ideas so so because you've been 00:20:49
fractionated the big five into ten you 00:20:51
get gender differences across all of 00:20:53
them and they're not trivial either they 00:20:55
make a difference so okay so anyway back 00:20:57
to the equity thing all the preposterous 00:21:01
and idiotic idea so first of all to make 00:21:03
gender equity across every dimension of 00:21:08
an organization you have to assume that 00:21:10
men and women have identical interests 00:21:13
or and temperament and that if they 00:21:15
don't the state should intervene to 00:21:19
bloody well ensure that they do which is 00:21:21
something for all you women to figure 00:21:23
out because now there's many many what 00:21:24
positions in society that women 00:21:29
preferentially occupied so what's going 00:21:32
to do about that and what are you going 00:21:34
to do about the ages because they occupy 00:21:36
preferential positions as well you know 00:21:39
they're over-represented in all sorts of 00:21:41
professional institutions and the 00:21:43
probability is that that's going to 00:21:44
increase what are going to do about that 00:21:46
what about the Jews what are going to do 00:21:47
about them because they're 00:21:49
position as the Indians you know put 00:21:51
quarters on all those people what kind 00:21:53
of stupidity is that and then it's worse 00:21:56
too because let's say you equalize women 00:21:58
and just for the sake of argument across 00:22:01
all these different dimensions of 00:22:03
society well then what are you going to 00:22:05
do are you going to equalize for black 00:22:06
women and Latino women and Asian women 00:22:09
are you going to stop tight black women 00:22:12
it's not like they're all the same are 00:22:14
you going to ensure that women from 00:22:16
lower classes are represented just as 00:22:19
much as women from upper classes and how 00:22:21
many generations back are you going to 00:22:24
go to check that what about intelligence 00:22:25
what about attractiveness how about 00:22:28
height how about weight so the problem 00:22:29
with the fractionation by group identity 00:22:32
is that it's endless there's no way of 00:22:34
ensuring equality across groups comes 00:22:38
with an infinite number of groups you 00:22:40
can spread that group identity all the 00:22:41
way down to the level of the individual 00:22:43
which is exactly what you should do 00:22:45
which is what we already did in the West 00:22:46
we figured well the ultimate diverse 00:22:48
population is a population of 00:22:52
individuals so you let the individual 00:22:53
sort it out no no then replace that with 00:22:55
group well what that means for the 00:22:58
bloody social activists is the they'll 00:23:00
be able to play this game forever 00:23:02
because you can continually traction a 00:23:03
group identity ad nauseam so the system 00:23:05
will never be equal and you can bloody 00:23:07
well be sure that as we implement social 00:23:10
policy to make sure that all outcomes 00:23:12
are equal but the amount of space that 00:23:14
you personally are going to ask the 00:23:16
maneuver in it's going to shrink and 00:23:18
shrink and shrink and shrink we've 00:23:19
already seen that happen in many 00:23:21
societies you think we would learn from 00:23:23
the 20th century I was just going to ask 00:23:25
if you could go back to the point about 00:23:27
the analogy between the racial slur and 00:23:29
the and I don't think there's any 00:23:33
analogy at all but I think my different 00:23:34
one here I'm talking about compelled 00:23:36
speech there's a difference between 00:23:38
saying that there's something you can't 00:23:40
say and saying that there are things 00:23:42
that you have to say and I regard these 00:23:44
made-up pronouns all of them as the 00:23:47
neologisms of radical PC authoritarians 00:23:50
do you understand that and I don't I'm 00:23:54
not a fan of that sort of person and the 00:23:57
reason I'm not a fan of that sort of 00:23:59
person is because I've done my homework 00:24:01
I've read everything I can get my hands 00:24:04
on in the development of authoritarian 00:24:06
political systems and I know the 00:24:07
literature inside out and backwards and 00:24:09
I am NOT going to be a mouthpiece for 00:24:11
language that I detest and that 00:24:15
