0:13
great news thrilled
0:17
i
0:22
what you going do after
0:24
advice
0:26
to devote more time to end
0:28
this is a video game i
0:31
think i've read about it on the internet,
0:32
i a so
0:37
it's this fantasy world and i'm developing
0:39
a warrior with very high strength
0:42
and dexterity and i realized
0:44
let's see the person todd's that i can't really get
0:46
good at this game while continue do this podcast
0:48
i hope you can find a suitable replacement
0:50
i'm sure it won't be that hard a how
0:52
many hours of you devoted to this game
0:54
probably under five so far
0:56
but i'm i'm os projecting size
0:58
to ten thousand
0:59
i know how you how you feel because i
1:01
also and a gamer i play a game called
1:04
would blocks and i have i have also probably
1:06
devoted such than doesn't hours on it
1:08
the move would blocks from one
1:10
place to another are so
1:12
you've described would watch to me and
1:15
every time we do i feel like a lumberjack
1:18
district you lumberjack different
1:19
the
1:20
cool gave
1:22
i go to a word sinuses and i a whole
1:24
wasn't birth to a trust as they
1:27
have limited access a ted ted is
1:29
so i do have a question about
1:31
building rank of i saw so
1:33
i'm not i don't know much about this game
1:36
i know that it's apparently really beautiful
1:38
correct
1:39
yeah
1:39
and i saw elon musk
1:41
posted a screenshot of his
1:44
bill
1:44
yeah super
1:46
the refiners
1:47
well i am not yet good enough
1:49
to know why was a horrible bill but apparently
1:51
like everyone would wanna build oh
1:53
yeah with sardar steady a video
1:56
game is a know build is like zeus
1:58
he a bill does the decisions make about how
2:00
to develop your character like you can put points
2:02
in two strains which makes you like whole
2:04
game you can carry more stuff or dexterity
2:07
which makes me sort of more nimble unable to handle the for
2:09
weapons i'd also like
2:11
it's like what time does ah equipment
2:13
you carry what swords shields blah blah blah
2:15
nurture so you are must billionaire
2:19
or the most successful by the world's posted
2:21
his build which apparently to true l
2:23
didn't ring nerds is white
2:25
laughably bad it's like it's like the equivalent
2:28
of like recording professor
2:30
patasse with your max light you
2:32
know internal microphone just stuff you would never
2:34
do if you knew what you reduce doing so people are
2:36
roasting him for days and that
2:39
made me so happy to just twitter had been so horrible
2:41
and toss it and you just saw this huge
2:43
cross partisan ah consensus
2:46
that you must isn't good it out and ring and it
2:48
it brought everyone together
2:49
okay so it made you happy to see the entire
2:52
internet beating up oman
2:53
yeah what should you know i light online
2:55
harassment or mates yeah notice yes on
2:57
and harmless you're allowed to make fun of people for life
2:59
what did i mean watching this and for a made
3:02
me think what is elon musk is actually
3:04
not smart and i saw people apparently
3:06
he's like a really shitty kotor
3:08
and he also my my main complaint
3:11
about elon musk is that he steals content and
3:13
he does this all the fucking
3:15
time he , every
3:17
mean that he shares you never hear in
3:20
a whatever like a ceiling name's is not
3:22
like stealing money from somebody but
3:24
if you have a platform that big it's i
3:26
think that you should credit the creators like he's
3:29
posted aim admittedly sort of silly
3:32
little drawing that call and right
3:34
did didn't credit him at all
3:36
this could have been really like college like mean collins
3:38
it into been a creator he iran
3:41
had like linked to a subsurface would have been really good
3:43
for him and his doesn't bother to do that was i think this is
3:45
really bad internet etiquette
3:47
you know i'm not sure i agree because so
3:49
many people will retreat
3:51
beams without checking
3:54
try to track down to created them i agree
3:56
he should have
3:56
but most people don't have the you know
3:58
however many followers the eighty million dollars
4:01
or whatever it is it's not a big deal and somebody
4:03
with a hundred followers breach with some be
4:05
without credit but he could i need to i
4:07
mean he does this all happened actually it's actually worse
4:09
than that i saw an article the other day
4:13
mk , w the
4:15
local npr
4:17
they can here in seattle and the article
4:19
is from twenty eighteen and they research at because
4:21
of course ilan is and the news again
4:23
he tweeted a photo of a coffee mug
4:26
with a picture of a farting unicorn
4:28
on it and said this is my favorite
4:30
line where is this is my favorite mug
4:32
ever and then two
4:34
months after that so he didn't credit
4:36
the artist at all which okay he played it know
4:38
the artist was or maybe did two
4:41
months after that he
4:43
took that aren't work and he
4:45
was using it to promote a software
4:47
the upgrade of of hustlers
4:51
we don't you put it he put the fart a unicorn
4:53
in the tesla the logo on the tesla
4:56
the through it i target
4:58
good it's really not good
5:00
he says similar just random thug and dude
5:03
dude and dinners his artwork emile on
5:05
my stole it in put it in his fucking out
5:07
that's the hunter
5:08
the farted unicorn is the intellectual
5:10
property of whoever caused it to farce
5:13
not
5:14
okay so the artist's name is tom
5:16
edwards i think we as influence
5:18
influencers should cut out the artist whose names
5:20
edwards what desire to to
5:22
i know now he's a he's like a six year old
5:24
man and seventy or probably of his on
5:26
slack
5:27
sorry goncourt ideally to seven year old
5:29
man is who would come up with are starting today
5:31
as a , a good live
5:34
oak and so were after desert i
5:36
play ordinary now ordinary ride my
5:38
spectral steed across spectral steed
5:41
the bladder landscapes that's not a sentence
5:44
and you on mosque is bad at all the drink and
5:46
i will beat up and i moved blocks and suzy
5:48
who were tricked by a lumberjack would
5:52
anyone does it ever this increasingly gaming
5:54
center podcast
5:55
this is lacking reported in them caterers
5:57
i'm jesse singal and and today yes
5:59
the target little bit more about gender i want to talk
6:02
about this very weird very
6:04
stupid very self defeating strain
6:06
of what as it is basically
6:09
evolution denialism that's really
6:11
popular in some progressive quarters now
6:13
got a couple example that a one talks about how that
6:16
is really i'm hoping liberals
6:18
get owned by the likes of matt waltz which
6:20
is never good science but first
6:22
let first
6:23
jesse were doing at we're going to talk
6:25
about johnny depp
6:26
amber heard stay god i
6:28
have searched high and low fraud
6:30
discourse on this try was i thought would get attention
6:32
but no one's saying anything about know some glad
6:35
you finally our timing
6:36
the i think i'll we are here to or explain
6:38
it to the people so as everyone
6:40
has probably heard by now because
6:42
this is the most important story in the world's johnny
6:45
depp was mostly successful and his
6:47
defamation suit against his ex wife
6:49
amber heard the mechanics of this
6:51
or little bit confusing because he filed
6:54
a defamation suit against her
6:56
for claiming and a washington post opinion
6:58
piece that she was a victim
7:00
of abuse and then she countersued
7:04
claiming that he hadn't defamed her
7:06
when one of his lawyers said that the allegations
7:08
were a hoax and then the
7:11
suits were hurt at the same time by the same juri
7:14
the position i suppose i'm anyway
7:16
the jury did agree that the amber heard
7:18
had been defamed on one on
7:20
one points when his lawyer
7:23
accused her of damaging their penthouse
7:25
apartments and then blaming it on johnny depp
7:28
but he was really the big winner they
7:30
wanted her to million dollars and
7:32
they awarded him fifteen
7:34
in dollars which was reduced do
7:36
too
7:36
i believe bridget your loss to run
7:38
ten million and i have to admit i did not
7:41
follow this case very closely
7:43
i read about it a little bit i
7:45
watched a little bit of his testimony when
7:47
i was home sick one day and none
7:50
of hers so i was just don't feel qualified
7:52
to comment on whether or not the outcome was
7:54
sarah like with almost everything
7:56
else it depends on the perspective of the person
7:59
that and being so i can read
8:01
one article or twitter thread
8:04
making a convincing argument that she was lying
8:06
and then i can read another way making convincing
8:08
argument that he was lying and since
8:10
i did watch it i just i don't want away
8:13
and on whether or not i think it was right
8:15
because i don't know i'm the
8:18
will say though that i was surprised
8:20
at the l com because the
8:22
bar for defamation and the u s
8:24
is very high way higher
8:26
than places like the uk and this is especially
8:28
true for celebrity
8:29
while that also which is if it's relevant here because there
8:31
was a uk defamation case where he lost
8:34
my senses he mostly last right us
8:36
and if you
8:37
read her peace in the washington post if you actually read
8:39
the piece that started all of this it's
8:42
really vague in terms of actual
8:44
allegations it's titled i
8:46
spoke up against sexual violence and safe
8:49
and face our cultures wrath that has to change
8:52
and the whole thing which doesn't actually
8:54
mentioned death by name is much
8:56
less about any specific violence
8:58
that she faced or that she allegedly says
9:01
and much more about the public response
9:03
to her talking about abuse the
9:05
jury apparently thought that she was lying about
9:07
the abuse itself and that she was doing it maliciously
9:10
in order to hurt him but i was still
9:12
surprised about the outcome because not
9:15
only is the bar for defamation really
9:17
high especially
9:18
celebrities
9:20
if you read the op ed it's hard to find
9:22
any particular line that was literally
9:25
false like here's here's the one
9:27
line that alludes to johnny depp two
9:29
years ago i became a public figure representing
9:31
domestic abuse abuse and
9:33
i felt the full force of our cultures wrath
9:36
for women who speak out that's it as
9:38
long as she's not lying about the public
9:41
harassment in i doubt that she is
9:43
it's hard to see what could be false about
9:45
that she did become a public figure
9:48
representing domestic abuse and she did
9:50
i assume feel the full force of our
9:52
cultures wrath for women who speak out although
9:54
that's big and probably a bit hyperbolic
9:57
so that's why
9:58
the problem with that for that's also know i see
9:59
getting sued he's he's suing
10:02
her over the reference to him
10:03
that's the reference to him
10:05
i know bit but but never the part of it that matters
10:07
is saying that she was she was
10:09
against domestic abuse i'm saying a public
10:11
figure representing domestic abuse yeah i've
10:13
seen as soon as a rare and so he doesn't even if she
10:15
was lying about silly before wrath that is relevant
10:17
to the trial
10:19
right right but that's the that's the senate this that
10:21
this like your two years ago i became a public
10:23
figure representing domestic abuse and i felt the full
10:26
the full force our cultures razr one his be out
10:28
that's the only part that reference
10:30
that as that's a reference to him even
10:32
if he didn't actually beat her
10:35
she did become a public figure
10:37
representing domestic abuse so that's why i found
10:39
this surprising but again they
10:41
didn't want your testimony and
10:43
i saw not going away on whether not i think it was rates
10:47
when i time found most interesting
10:49
about this whole sordid saga was
10:51
that the washington post opinion
10:53
column or blip op ed was
10:55
go ghost written by the a seal you and
10:58
it , that they wrote this for her
11:00
and exchange for a substantial donation that
11:03
she didn't actually give them market because skim
11:05
like half or something we talked about that
11:07
in that prima pursued prima few weeks ago so
11:09
we're not have we're not that again the day
11:11
but if you're interested you can sign up like reported that
11:14
word because today it's we're
11:16
going to talk about the stupid internet bullshit
11:18
angle of this the new jersey i'm talking
11:20
about the takes have you see any good ones
11:22
oh my god i've seen so
11:24
many dates yes
11:25
everybody has a take everybody has their own pride
11:28
flag and everybody
11:29
there are take a it's been a recital but
11:31
like what what jumps out at you about i did your father
11:33
this more closely than i us and flow
11:35
i mean a lot jumped out of me about it up in
11:37
a say like as a member of the pundit
11:40
class i recognize that every
11:42
time there is some sort of the that like this
11:44
you are supposed to find a way to pigeonhole
11:46
it into your personal beat and that's why
11:48
you'll find articles like what police
11:51
shooting say about climate change the
11:53
shit like that and i'm only sort of exaggerating
11:55
when i say this like that particular example
11:57
those kind of joke but
11:59
the googled when police shooting say about climate
12:02
change and there were no direct hits but
12:04
i did get a new yorker piece by bill mckibben
12:06
called racism please limit violence
12:09
and climate or not separate issues where
12:11
i mean
12:11
there's no such a separate issue get a he's know
12:13
this manner
12:14
the as to have this class of people whose
12:16
job is to look at an event
12:19
some sort of current event or maybe even a historical
12:22
events and pigeon hole that into their
12:24
to their pet projects race and so
12:26
something like this is absolute catnip
12:29
for takeovers and i
12:31
did not see any takes connecting
12:34
the trial the climate change although surely
12:36
one is coming but i did see
12:39
a few that connected it with the second
12:41
biggest issue facing the
12:43
american public right now which is of course racism
12:45
this is a headline from the route by
12:48
someone named candace make duffy amber
12:51
heard verdict sends a message to black
12:53
women everywhere
12:55
every
12:57
has involved in this was why are you what
13:00
does that mean
13:01
still just install it sends a message specimen
13:03
everywhere hit another
13:04
i now
13:06
walk me through it
13:07
basically if you are a privileged
13:09
white woman like amber heard
13:11
it's even she would lose a case
13:14
then think about what that means for black woman
13:17
so centralizing because like
13:19
i mean this was a complicated here's my senses
13:21
he lost speech in part because
13:24
i guess i'll watch much of it dubs dabs
13:27
legal team attacked her credibility which is what
13:29
you would do in a case like this it seems like there are a number
13:31
of cases where it can be reasonably
13:33
argue that she lied right
13:35
yeah there is
13:36
in quit her own witnesses
13:38
apparently conflict it'll have a
13:40
lot of her custom
13:41
a of course at once again
13:44
we didn't y sus so we need to be really
13:46
careful about my but the put the point is yes
13:48
if there was if there is a
13:50
black women who solved in a case
13:52
like this and there been a lot of conflicting
13:55
a house or what happened and and the possibility
13:57
she lied about suspicious she would have a bad
13:59
time either but i don't see this idea
14:02
of like wealth a white woman it's not
14:04
what this didn't happen to a white woman who happen to
14:06
a specific white woman who did specific things
14:09
and who is going up against a very same
14:11
as are and then for actor lighter
14:13
wasn't it wasn't fun to watch there
14:15
were no winners here but it's like i just
14:17
is this well he's got a letter i mean he's
14:19
he's definitely a lack of he is like he has
14:21
be had to go through all the shit he did he seems
14:24
if anything like more of an asshole
14:26
i think you're wrong about that i think
14:28
in terms of i think the reason that he did
14:30
this and the reason that he wanted
14:32
this to be aired and public was because
14:34
he was fighting for his reputation
14:37
this was about the public perception
14:39
and i think if you look
14:41
at bad at the the takes you will
14:44
see that the media class
14:46
is solidly team amber but
14:48
if you look at that discourse
14:50
the online discourse everybody
14:52
else is solidly of course i'm generalizing
14:56
johnny and so yeah
14:58
i think for him i think he'd i think he does one
15:01
i mean besides the fact that she now
15:03
has to pay him ten million dollars as he is now have i
15:06
, just in terms of rehabilitation he
15:08
can say
15:10
i was defame doesn't happen i
15:12
just it's just the sort of the racially centralizing
15:15
discourse on this has become so automatic that
15:17
automatic just i don't find it helpful way of understanding
15:19
whites even just basic questions
15:21
of power like is to slobber is more complicated
15:24
rail ring complicated bell whenever i say that
15:25
there's nothing to do with race absolutely nothing
15:28
i i don't think this is the
15:30
route is an art of his of is a website that covers
15:32
race and so there has to be racial
15:34
angle to this
15:36
yeah the right or just
15:39
a lot of take satellite also the
15:41
i'm sure some the ones you highlighted notices
15:44
but just like
15:45
that me really stripped away the details of this
15:48
case and word aside yup this is just more evidence
15:50
society hates women like that yeah that's what it
15:52
comes out
15:52
yeah that was the bulk of it and there was
15:54
one that i especially enjoyed from
15:56
mired down again in the guardian she wrote
15:59
a piece called the amber her johnny depp
16:01
trial is an orgy of massage any here's
16:03
laundromat strange a logical
16:05
and unjust ruling has the a second sanctioning
16:07
depth alleged abuse of heard and punishing
16:10
heard for speaking about it it will have a devastating
16:12
effect on survivors who will be silenced
16:14
now with the knowledge that they cannot speak about
16:16
their violent experiences at men sans
16:19
without the threat of a ruinous libel suits
16:21
and that sense women sees just
16:23
became a lot less rates so now
16:25
she cares about free speech and now she can define when
16:27
a woman as in
16:29
i
16:31
yeah i guess is as just seems
16:33
like a little bit of us over extrapolation
16:36
to get his was one very specific incident
16:38
involving it's too bad people
16:40
and i
16:42
don't know man decide it's it's it's
16:45
it's it's it's sort of your play the hits like
16:47
of course of course she would never write
16:49
a com about there have been instances
16:51
where like
16:53
men have not been treated well i'm benefited user
16:55
submitted do and lost their jobs overseas
16:57
being sued of right now for
16:59
defamation by stephen elliot because more
17:02
donnie and the woman who wrote this hello started
17:05
this shitty medium and less that was a collection
17:07
of a bunch of anonymous and sometimes false
17:09
allegations she does not mention that and the color
17:11
by the way she does not business she does
17:13
it does
17:14
she doesn't disclose that sensei so
17:16
sorry i'm late in a calm about a libel
17:18
say i mean this is like basic journalists talk
17:20
about i'll do full disclosure fight i
17:22

i did
17:24
yeah you'd have is in full disclosure if you had a dream
17:27
about somebody wants i'm okay
17:28
it problem we should probably disclose that you and i are both suing
17:31
the other the dollars
17:33
let me read you another another
17:35
lie
17:36
from dot against his
17:38
the trial has turned into a public orgy of
17:40
massage any well most of the vitriol
17:42
is not as nominally directed at heard it
17:44
is hard to shake the feeling that really it is
17:46
directed at all women and in particular
17:49
those of us who spoke out about gender to be
17:51
some sexual violence during the height of the me too movement
17:54
we are in a moment of virulent
17:56
anti feminists backlash and
17:58
the modest gains that were made an error i've
18:00
been retracted with a gleeful display a victim
18:02
blaming at a mosque else deceit guess
18:04
what evidence she points to to
18:06
demonstrate that we are in a moment of virulent
18:08
anti some is douglas
18:10
if i had it as a zeolite i gamer gate
18:12
tweet from twenty two
18:13
the issue doesn't present any evidence
18:16
nothing nothing
18:17
the it completely may it's like this
18:19
one thing happen i mean stimulus
18:21
of that has happened since me
18:23
to include you like we have our first
18:26
the you know who adds vice president
18:29
will see now that like if you're gonna just scary facts
18:31
we have a senior vice president ah
18:33
we have a black woman other supreme court of course
18:35
of i just started take those do i tabulate jumps
18:38
semitism my wedding full stop at like
18:40
you you get to the other way there's is very silly
18:43
superficial punditry but some people you're fighting
18:45
the he was talking about was a
18:47
all of the death threats that jk rowling has
18:49
gone for speak
18:51
yeah she's written a lot yeah yeah
18:53
devils
18:53
yeah the guardian should and her editorship
18:56
and like hey how bout a link issue just something
18:58
something akin to been somebody calling
19:00
fucking comma here as a counter whatever just
19:02
something that there's nothing
19:04
yeah but asking for evidence isn't as i'm this yet
19:07
last year
19:07
and
19:09
then of course you had inevitable invoking
19:11
, gamer gate wishes you mentioned last week
19:14
dot again that as well well
19:16
next we have ellie missile from the
19:18
nation this was his tweet after the verdict
19:20
was announced holy crap they
19:22
rule for deb the take away for domestic
19:24
abusers is going to be threatened to
19:26
sue your ex for defamation if they talk about
19:28
what happened and someone responded
19:31
to that dude you're one of my favorites when
19:33
it comes to politics brilliance but obviously
19:35
we didn't watch the same trial and here was
19:37
here ellie missile responded
19:39
to this guy that's probably
19:41
because your focus on the trial
19:43
which trial could hardly give hardly crap about and
19:45
i'm focus on the verdicts and how these
19:48
by bad guys
19:48
really
19:51
good an hour
19:52
because you watched the trial which
19:54
i didn't hear that be a
19:56
very very sophisticated analysis
19:59
it doesn't matter
19:59
not actually gil days because this will
20:02
be good for bad guys
20:02
that is it is worth noting it
20:05
is if you're johnny
20:07
depp and you basically
20:09
the assume i know he he says he lost
20:11
work because this as part of it as i see me as basically
20:13
i
20:14
kick out of the pirates of the care
20:15
iran's i assume he has basically i'm limited resources
20:18
really rich people can
20:21
screw over other people even with frivolous
20:23
libel cases but light normal
20:25
people day to day life it's it's
20:28
it's really hard to see someone for
20:30
defamation the states and like a decent
20:32
lawyer
20:34
the tell you just not to bother ah
20:36
it's it's not it's not something done
20:39
lately and it's like a hellish
20:41
process my understanding is for all involved
20:44
so the idea that this
20:46
incredible outlier of a case involving
20:48
to rich and famous people will influence
20:51
people deciding whether to sue others
20:53
is just not it's it's is also says like
20:55
not good to tell people that towards
20:58
his disciples casual fear mongering
21:00
casual you and i have observed and lot in
21:02
progressive spaces that in that i used to release
21:04
that tribute a conservatives to be honest bullets
21:07
i don't actually think it's true that this is as
21:09
good that have any impact on the average
21:11
woman seeking justice his ability to get
21:13
it or the wrists he'll be sued to the dentist in
21:16
normal circumstances it's very hard
21:18
to see someone for defamation so i just estates
21:20
for estates
21:22
half cocked and again he's like i didn't even want
21:24
to try which to be fair we did was try to either but
21:26
we're just we're responding to the tickets which we did
21:28
read or us
21:29
we have vice news we've
21:31
all sailed amber heard society
21:33
we the overwhelming
21:36
part i failed
21:39
the overwhelming deliver content targeting
21:42
heard is itself abusive and humiliating
21:44
x experts say and is partly
21:46
why we collectively as a society are
21:48
failing heard plants
21:51
oh
21:52
what do we what do what ,
21:54
i genuinely don't give a shit about what
21:57
if what think they're both horrible
21:59
which we have you'd evidence for a i
22:01
would not in a million years root
22:03
for either of their because i think rooting for
22:05
either them is sort of crazy what
22:07
what is that's the case by
22:08
no no no no no no jesse you are
22:10
part of the collective you
22:13
are we live in a society if one
22:15
person since and amber heard mean everyone
22:17
since an amber heard me
22:18
i mean i do i did not look for the most
22:20
sausage air my her anti heard me i
22:23
ate there's no doubt in my mind that is the case
22:25
at a lot of a shit online went completely off the
22:27
rails because it always does i'm sure that's
22:29
true but just lights we sailed her
22:31
like what was the other nurses horrible
22:34
that were mine i know there's always horrible people
22:36
my
22:36
there's no such thing as way
22:38
we katie we have failed steve
22:40
yes yes we've
22:42
failed
22:42
no one no one no one davis said it's
22:44
if the allegations against him work were literally
22:46
true and would use
22:48
the rewarded it you failed
22:49
earlier i didn't i do know the united
22:51
or what they did we did sales what i was
22:53
i sort of he's on how we all sales stephen alliot
22:56
at
22:56
really excited about a mouse it's
22:59
just i mean i know i should
23:01
be that excited about of about case that and arguably
23:03
has some free speech like they're free suisse
23:05
implications but implications really excited about as good
23:07
what would oh
23:09
i have
23:11
been toward i guess what i i've been
23:13
threatened to be sued by
23:16
a doctor pushing quack treatments
23:19
the
23:20
i began to to be sued multiple types
23:23
including one spot a private a trans activists
23:25
who falsely said i tried to sue hurts
23:27
which is what it's but
23:29
in my case of the city medium amherst
23:32
i seek elliot is trying to find out see
23:34
say this never happened
23:36
this thing i was accused of never happened i was the should
23:38
we should be more specific for people who don't
23:40
know what about what i'm jared know you base this oh yes
23:43
stephen elliot is a a writer
23:45
ah full disclosure
23:46
when you they a real estate magnate
23:48
they'd made that yeah i i
23:50
did you and i both might
23:53
have to be a little bit of us enduring
23:56
weird else is as if to say he's afraid
23:58
either fruits and
23:59
i didn't
24:02
read
24:04
it before i got involved
24:08
in
24:12
all these people immediately who had supposedly
24:14
harm women and his
24:16
cell said
24:18
in the spreadsheet said that i was
24:20
afraid to face with rape accusation, his
24:22
lawsuit involves
24:25
the claim that he's assuming he's
24:28
trying to find out who added that
24:30
who's responsible for accusing him of that
24:32
ends i understand the fear that
24:34
this has a chilling as i bought our also having
24:37
hubbard and learned about cases where people
24:39
were accused of shit they didn't do
24:41
and how are you having dealt with some of the whole rumor mongering
24:44
garbage go out and left on my own i
24:46
, think you should have some recourse if
24:48
there's a professionally damage rumor about you
24:50
and no one can point to evidence
24:53
and what happened after stephen l a template
24:55
is edwin point there are other times they thought he was
24:58
ill creepier bad with boundaries no one came
25:00
close even say he'd been accused of rape by rape
25:02
third parties third just suggested
25:04
you just suggested have some recourse so i'm
25:06
not really comfortable saying that this is lights
25:08
a slam dunk white threat to
25:10
journalism or free speech i don't know i
25:12
think it's for topic it's important to that i
25:14
since i need a better catchphrase
25:17
after a bit less came out stephen
25:19
was dropped by his agents i can't
25:21
member one or both agency lost a bunch of
25:23
friends he lost a bunch of work he his
25:25
career as a writer basically ended
25:27
in that moment and stephen had been kid had moments
25:29
of success he was the founder of the rumpus he
25:32
he wrote his are in a ton of books one of which was made
25:34
into a movie
25:35
adderall there's
25:36
james franco and
25:39
ah yes yes even had real here
25:42
there are real
25:43
repercussions about like for being on
25:45
this list for him especially after he wrote
25:47
about it he wrote about his inclusion on this on
25:50
this list for collect and after
25:52
you read about the piece on collette i think things
25:53
i got worse worms and then he
25:56
announced that he was serving word or dot again
25:58
created his list and things
25:59
probably got even worse for him people have
26:02
spray painted somebody spray painted rapist
26:04
on his house they just like sprayed
26:07
portrait painted some shit on his car and
26:09
his career as a as a creative is basically
26:11
over at that point and , nobody
26:14
has come forward and said yes stephen elliot
26:16
raped me were assaulted me or anything like that
26:18
there's no victim here and
26:20
i wrote about this for the stranger and
26:23
as you mentioned people came out of the woodwork
26:25
to make other big allegations
26:27
like he asked me to go
26:30
into his hotel room to watch a movie
26:33
shit like that which is stephen being
26:35
see that and i talked to male friends of his and see
26:37
my friends of his he said like yeah stephen is great
26:39
with boundaries but this was like
26:41
he would have asked he was making a movie he would have s
26:44
anybody who would have asked my ten year old to go and watches
26:46
movie he was obsessed with this movie i don't
26:48
i feel insulted because when i hung out with him a new worlds
26:51
he did violate a single barrier by what's wrong with this
26:54
i guess he learned his lesson we stevens cases
26:56
writer named liz lands who she's written
26:58
for a bunch of different places and i believe that she's
27:01
read a book or to she
27:03
had been an intern or something like that like that rumpus
27:06
which is this website that's even founded and
27:08
she said that stephen because
27:10
people come on they make these public allegations basically
27:13
mining their their memories for
27:15
it things that maybe they didn't think were
27:17
abusive at the time but now i would
27:18
where people recognize his side sorry i'm integral be
27:20
the lights when someone like steve it becomes
27:23
the twitter character of the day you will
27:25
people need to recognize that lights
27:27
oh suddenly ten people at allegations
27:30
there's is very weird psychological
27:32
thing where people will my to say oh
27:34
this thing happened to me seven years ago
27:37
i don't really at the time it didn't bother me but
27:39
now that this person's controversial and that i did skyn
27:41
tweet how abuse i was now i find it
27:43
abusive people should really be mindful that because
27:45
he scored a good accusations will sort
27:47
of white multiply rapidly but lot
27:50
of them are just that
27:50
yeah so lives one of the allegations
27:53
she made about stephen was that he demanded
27:55
her free labor well
27:57
stephen had receipts he showed me the
27:59
even
27:59
was where he was i don't remember what the project he was
28:02
where he on an anthology or movie or something like
28:04
that and he ashley's use these
28:06
looking for an assistant and he
28:08
ashley's of she would be interested and then he
28:10
offered to pay her and this was in the emails
28:13
and i contacted lives and i said you
28:15
know would you be able to share this correspondence
28:17
for stephen ah sued or for free or
28:19
to manager free labor and she said yes
28:22
and then she changed her mind and said no we'll
28:24
stephen sure the email
28:25
with me and he offered a fucking parents
28:27
she just she lie about it she lied about
28:29
it or she misremembered it or or if if
28:31
she misremembered she then should have but she never
28:33
fallen up and sir i was wrong he did
28:36
africa famous
28:36
no and season has like
28:39
really face of his these in real
28:41
estate i think he's doing fine because seem as
28:43
a hustler a way we sort of got derailed
28:45
but stephen is suing wire donegan arm
28:47
i'm not sure what the status of the of the suit is right
28:49
now but every time there's been some attempt
28:52
to get it's round of course even a
28:53
one so we'll see what happens
28:55
okay so back to the takes
28:57
ah there were some in addition to all of these
29:00
damn unsophisticated takes on the left
29:02
there are also definitely some on the
29:04
right mostly about how this
29:06
was the death of me to likes
29:09
even crowder is a popular conservative comedian
29:11
he tweeted johnny depp defeated me to a
29:13
bunch of fox correspondence said basically the same
29:16
thing the thing o p twitter account
29:18
tweeted account picture of johnny depp from pirates of
29:20
the caribbean as
29:21
he saw that guys you know
29:23
if he's yes everyone such
29:25
an asshole yeah
29:26
the liberal who was accused of beating his wife
29:29
like this is the person who you who you've
29:31
decided to make a hero for your fucking cause an
29:33
issue
29:33
the got a trigger anything digital or get
29:36
to this again later but anything to tribunal
29:38
yeah totally and is this idea
29:40
that this was the death of me too
29:42
no no this isn't true and
29:44
more it on again says it it's not true when stephen
29:46
crowder says that either one event like
29:49
that's like saying that because harvey
29:51
weinstein was convicted
29:53
that mean sexual harassment is over these
29:55
are just these are events into themselves
29:58
they are not proxies for americans culture
30:00
the dumbest take however comes from buzzfeed
30:03
let me just read you the headline jesse
30:05
here's a list of all the celebs
30:07
who like johnny depp instagram statements
30:11
it's rename some balls scenario heard
30:14
a lot
30:17
ryan adams well that seems appropriate
30:20
patti smith michelle branch ashley
30:22
benson never heard of her senate this
30:24
doesn't just have the the celebs
30:26
who liked his instagram posts after he won
30:28
it also has their a bow geez
30:31
so like naomi campbell
30:33
and then commented it before her emerges
30:36
emma roberts cassie
30:38
, zoe saldana jason
30:41
mama he also like amber heard spurs
30:43
so he's the central issue
30:45
of the list of people who like a blister famous
30:48
people who like this fucking post some of whom
30:50
are probably johnny
30:51
the friends government
30:53
reporting from by said okay
30:55
so those steaks are just kind of lazy and down but i did
30:57
see one in the guardian by joe full a pool they said
30:59
did sorta made me think unfortunately a
31:01
, is called the dub defamation
31:04
suit should outrage and paul you and she comes
31:06
at this from a free speech perspective
31:08
which i think is sort of clever arms
31:11
here's a passage from that piece you can believe
31:13
that heard was not actually a domestic violence victim
31:15
and also recognize the objective fact that the
31:17
public associated her with domestic violence
31:20
you can believe that dub was not an accuser and also
31:22
recognize that he was in fact a man accused
31:24
of abuse you can believe that amber heard
31:26
is a devil incarnate and johnny depp is an
31:29
innocent lamb and still realize that the
31:31
only sarah reading of hers words and the
31:33
post and of us law which runs all
31:35
of us broad right of free speech is that
31:37
herds word simply do not meet requirements
31:39
for defamation and that
31:41
gets back to why i was surprised that this verdict
31:43
because this verdict reading of the of
31:46
the op ed which wasn't actually written by her it was
31:48
written by the easier you
31:50
sure there's not a literal
31:52
paul said but
31:54
they have her didn't say and herpes johnny that
31:56
beat me it's pretty clear that he did suffer
31:58
reputation on professional daily
31:59
as a result of her allegations so
32:02
this is sort of like penalizing heard not for
32:04
her actual words that for the outcome of her words
32:07
that makes sense yeah yeah
32:09
i mean i'm overall sympathetic to supposes
32:11
it out here
32:12
yeah adam davidson tweeted a
32:14
i'm a bit stunned that more journalist are outraged
32:17
and stand by the dep heard verdict
32:19
in addition to being a disaster for domestic be survivors
32:22
it's a disaster for a publications ability to tell
32:24
the truth well
32:26
did she tell the truth i think that matters
32:29
i mean i think there should be civil remedies
32:31
to defamation i am glad
32:33
that the bar to when a case like this is high
32:35
in the us especially against reporters nauseous
32:37
because i am one but because reporters do need
32:39
to because protected from pissing off the wrong people
32:41
but there should be some recourse against
32:44
slander and libel and up in defamation
32:46
in my opinion and much better that a be
32:48
civil be criminal this
32:51
case is now i think davidson
32:53
is being hyperbolic and overstating the
32:55
the like everybody else the importance
32:57
of this one case because this case is
32:59
not a proxy for american culture
33:02
this is a one very bizarre speedy
33:04
use and crowded court case involving
33:06
to very rich and famous people the
33:08
verdict doesn't mean that that women can't talk about
33:11
their abuse and and doesn't mean that men can get
33:13
away with anything it doesn't mean me
33:15
to is dead
33:16
the i think the basic davidson's get iran is that
33:18
if if you're a news outlet and person a
33:20
accuses person be of domestic
33:22
abuse you can always report
33:25
on that if they made the accusation isn't
33:27
for the accusation is always you take certain precautions
33:29
to get the other side's us response
33:32
like reach out to them as i don't think it
33:34
will unless i'm really misuse of adult the
33:36
do it ever be libelous to report that
33:38
a accused be of something as long as you take
33:40
those precautions it's difference when
33:42
is the first person account saying i
33:44
mean to get i'm with you with don't even understand
33:46
how technically that sentence could be libelous
33:49
so we've been we've simply word about the about and buses
33:51
it's different when it's first person to journalists
33:53
are just treated differently and in defamation
33:55
cases
33:55
sometimes a celebrity trial is just a celebrity
33:58
trial you know this doesn't
33:59
how to have some grand lesson in this
34:02
doesn't mean anything for people coming
34:04
behind it businesses a very very specific
34:06
thing i think people want it to mean something
34:08
more than it does because it sort of fun to get out race
34:10
no and ip to try to justify their own obsession
34:12
with like , you
34:14
could see spending patterns hundred
34:17
hours filling your brain was sewage
34:19
from his trial at it was just for nothing
34:21
ancestors were all chaotic
34:24
to lessons of cells circling
34:26
and uncaring son that would be depressing
34:29
is instead this is instead major milestone damage
34:31
to our free speech or whatever it's that would justify
34:33
your weird obsession
34:34
right you can feel good about it because it's not just
34:36
washing the kardashians or whatever young
34:38
bigger than that this isn't about
34:41
, too it's about women's rights and violent
34:43
sexual violence and free free speech
34:46
okay blessing okay to say about this
34:48
i was really shocked by the
34:51
difference between the aftermath
34:53
in the of the that's the verdict the media coverage
34:55
an online conversation this reminded me
34:58
of the rotten tomatoes page
35:00
for like nenad toward the suppose essential
35:02
were like the average person's perception
35:05
of this of this so different from
35:07
the media's
35:08
yeah yeah it there is a lot of that because
35:10
you know when we know what's going on
35:12
in progressive outlets on these sorts of subject and we
35:14
know that for the most parts there's not
35:16
going to be very much descent from the
35:19
as twitter consensus it's
35:21
all tribal it is all tribal anything
35:23
else on the city that's city
35:25
thank god hopefully will never have to talk about as ago
35:28

the email blocking put a podcast
38:29
monica katie
38:30
you're from ah door so
38:33
on are it i am yes
38:35
they asked this question was some supper day
38:37
should have you heard of evolution
38:40
only when my parents
38:42
to manage
38:43
the me out of school was cheating
38:45
those lessons as you're
38:47
in cause professor parents hated
38:49
bad staffs
38:51
the stereotype is has
38:53
always been that the left believes in evolution
38:55
the right does it's ah i
38:58
came of age politically or maybe
39:00
little before to visualise could be fierce battles
39:02
over creationism and intelligent design
39:06
the leaders ministry of like of
39:08
a version of evolution did i was one
39:10
less than want to talk about a little bit
39:11
i'm irish be interesting
39:15
basically the way it is goes down is because
39:17
it is so important this is my interpretation
39:20
people might disagree and i'm happy to hear from
39:22
you if you do
39:23
it's become very important to acknowledge not
39:26
that
39:27
like a trans woman is someone who's biological
39:29
sciences mail but identifies as a see now that
39:31
was the old understand it's the new understanding
39:34
is that if you say you're a woman you are literally
39:36
a woman or procedure manager literally mans
39:39
including biologically i mean do think i'm overstating
39:41
that know people say this
39:43
the an hour and non binary people to
39:45
if you see yourself library here literally
39:48
not mail
39:48
be around you're not male or female
39:51
yeah and and yet large i
39:53
i know not everyone thinks is this is literally
39:56
this is i think the orthodox
39:58
belief among many this you will definitely
40:01
not see
40:02
the high profile progresses in positions
40:05
of with platforms are power who
40:07
will cool deny this will argue otherwise
40:10
and and i think it's lead to some really weird
40:12
attempts to the
40:14
night the nature of have sex
40:16
of biological sex of the seen that is very
40:18
important to all humans and that causes neatly
40:21
into two categories
40:22
they didn't notice i pointed to humans
40:24
this is why it bothers me in part because
40:26
it's humans are mammals like this
40:29
they was not interrupt out
40:31
the nile that humans are
40:33
animals and are mammals and there's something
40:35
almost religious about that to me as the
40:37
we are we are separate from the animal kingdom
40:40
when i found out as a mammal i was so
40:42
surprise i jerked up and knocked my
40:44
cd lamp miles assessment
40:47
, at parsons but always gotta
40:49
swansea should note is that someone is predated
40:52
the it's ah
40:54
hands down are in college in
40:56
two thousand and five or two thousand says i was in a
40:58
lit theory seminars
41:00
you would a very good friend hobby see in denver amazon
41:02
gcs ah
41:04
then i remember i believe of the only person the
41:06
seminars who thought that
41:08
men and women were differences agreed terms of
41:10
sports it's everyone else thought this
41:12
was socialist rock to this was two thousand and five
41:14
it had nothing to tell that is so
41:16
he was it was at least or friends will lead
41:18
back
41:19
how do people ever played sports before
41:21
they didn't recall it lit theory seven are some
41:23
now together
41:26
huge athletes slow so
41:28
i hadn't heard that before but as i do like really
41:30
of friends themselves beasley
41:32
just want to go through to example
41:35
this i saw i've seen in in may
41:37
add that really bugs me
41:39
it's one of there was an article in sapiens
41:41
this is a big anthropology magazine
41:43
ah i guess in fantasies
41:46
in fantasies anthropologists the headline
41:48
biological science rejects
41:50
the sex binary and that's good for humanity
41:54
three little bit from the tops at the recent
41:56
us supreme court confirmation hearings for to
41:59
taji brown jackie
41:59
senator marsha blackburn triggered
42:02
controversy when she as jackson's define
42:04
the word woman as suggested decline
42:06
several republican congress double sided with definitions
42:08
for women that ranged from dubious to saw
42:10
students including quotes the weaker
42:13
sites quote someone who has a
42:15
uterus and quote x chromosomes
42:17
know tally wax the
42:20
wagons it's so
42:22
this idea that these definitions range
42:24
from dubious society
42:26
like obviously it's just such a straw
42:28
man if he defied women as the weaker
42:31
sex in later added
42:33
a you know your criticized like
42:35
obviously that sort of bullshit but it's also in
42:37
terms of physical strength
42:39
that's true women are weaker than men similarly
42:41
just
42:41
the do you think that if is shove a baby
42:44
out of your vagina and you know that the strength that as a
42:46
city that doing it is
42:47
in my great yeah now i could not
42:49
nurture new ice i can only harm
42:51
people are the others it is like sex
42:54
chromosomes know tally wacker is actually
42:56
a pretty good definition for wouldn't every time i logically
42:58
like what what's wrong with that i mean
43:01
i think it works so digital along
43:03
lot of articles attempting to like complicate
43:05
or problem with ties biological sex
43:07
and and it's become like a bit of these
43:09
liberals it's a sin or even
43:12
a moral panic at this moment let
43:14
me do a are another quote from his second
43:16
articles of course there are clear bodily
43:19
differences in capacities to give birth
43:21
and lactase thank you for a daughter that's
43:23
oh actually okay okay this is
43:25
also been males can lactate
43:28
i've never even noticed as an urban legend i've never
43:30
checked this
43:30
it's not it's not my dad so he tired
43:33
of listening
43:33
the like hated an hour
43:35
the word in in his classes
43:37
he would tell his melt his students that have any
43:39
males can make themselves lox a on but
43:41
in this mess logan automatic a and of the getting
43:43
them actually did it but i did look into
43:45
that
43:46
how many title neither
43:48
butcher bay it is very very good
43:50
that he is no longer teaching things have shifted
43:52
in a way that i he was a very very popular teacher
43:54
i think if i if he were on campus know things have a difference
43:57
but i actually look into this at one point in their
43:59
dot many cases of males lactating after
44:01
for instance moments of extreme stress
44:04
like some physical stress like after the holocaust
44:07
there was this is jones's this
44:09
rash of of i don't know if it was holocaust
44:11
survivors are prisoners of war or lactating
44:14
hormones are fucking weird but yes men males
44:16
can lactate end and there are at
44:18
this describes lot of people out like
44:20
the stranger for instance a couple years ago they
44:23
publish an article a trans
44:25
woman her partner gave
44:27
birth and she breastfed you know you
44:29
know you to take some sort
44:30
hormone hormone and will they are on hormones
44:32
anyway but she actually breastfed the
44:34
child bloody of the not like article
44:38
iran and of a little last
44:40
thing about lactation because i find assassinating
44:43
i has friends to lesbian
44:45
friends who adopted a baby there
44:48
and one of them percent
44:49
well yeah to kid com is pretty easy
44:52
to stimulate it right if you're a woman
44:53
while you take hormones and then you do like
44:55
be palmer something like that but she was like
44:57
he was very surprising to me that she was i've
44:59
watched her breast feed her child that she had not
45:01
given birth to anyway variants
45:03
so yeah we can continue statements
45:06
ah to be set up from the summer of course
45:08
are clear bodily differences in capacities to give
45:11
birth in lactate and ranges of patterns in
45:13
the development distribution of body size strength
45:15
and myriad other processes but such patterns
45:17
are mostly overlapping and only a few
45:19
are distributed in clear are functional
45:22
dichotomies only
45:24
a few are distributed in also like
45:26
a functional that sodomy i guess he means something
45:28
worth like either you have one thing or the other
45:31
thing but
45:32
that's like a big part of what sex is is
45:34
we have entirely different organs from the other sexiness
45:37
it a few different cases so i i don't really
45:39
know what this means it it seems a
45:41
little bit the rarely butts numerous
45:43
studies have found that the differences between adult
45:45
men and women are overhyped and largely influenced
45:48
by the dynamics of biology and culture
45:50
humans are nature nurture all
45:52
a fusion of nature and nurture there's
45:55
like too much bullshit going
45:57
on here to even get into most of it but they're
45:59
just like new the studies hi this is a huge
46:01
oversimplification because
46:03
everywhere you go you find the same strength differences
46:06
the same athletic differences in
46:08
the best evidence we has suggests
46:10
that in more gender equitable places
46:13
like scandinavia male and female interest
46:15
difference marks which means that even if you
46:17
remove cultural pressure for whites you
46:19
know men are engineers women are teachers
46:22
there are some average level or differences
46:24
in interest that are sort of hard to account for
46:26
unless you acknowledge biology's part of this
46:29
ah so others just use just gloss
46:31
over up pretty complicated as they could be like
46:33
our nature nurture all it's both it's like no
46:35
one's denying this but there there's clearly
46:37
differences you can clearly divide people in the male
46:39
or female which is the argument his argue against
46:42
this year's a particularly bad parts
46:44
i think proves i like just how little thought
46:46
has done interests in fact of the hundred
46:48
forty million babies born last year at
46:50
least two hundred eighty thousand did not fit
46:52
into a clear penis vs lay be a model
46:54
of sex determination it's genitals
46:56
hormone levels and chromosomes are not reliable
46:59
determinants of sets there are for example
47:01
people with x y chromosomes her female characters
47:03
a steep with ambiguous genitalia us and
47:06
women with testosterone levels outside the typical
47:08
quote female range
47:10
usually so letter to the editor
47:13
it's , of this fairly well known disputes and around
47:15
the work of ancestors sterling and and
47:17
she's a sex researchers and
47:19
i see had claimed that they replied
47:22
something like one point seven percent of people are
47:24
intersects this letter to the editor
47:27
i was like now as you look at people are
47:29
actually intersects where there's like actual
47:31
ambiguity over whether they're male or female
47:33
the percentage of humans who meet those criteria
47:35
or something like zero point zero one
47:38
eight percent so am i
47:40
guess in seems have come up with this two hundred eighty thousand
47:43
estimates trying to
47:45
get that zero point o h o
47:47
one eight percent think he's off by order
47:49
of magnitude i think he meant twenty eight thousand
47:52
babies are born a year in the whole country
47:54
that are truly intersects but either
47:56
way even if it's point two percent of babies
47:59
which is he saw as
47:59
that's way too big that would mean that
48:02
sex is almost entirely clear cut like
48:04
totally agree that if it's ninety nine point
48:06
eight percent of people any done this is probably
48:08
underestimates if ninety nine
48:10
point eight percent of people are male or female
48:13
does not mean were mostly sexually dimorphic
48:15
were mostly male or female
48:16
yeah this is heather hiring
48:19
i think has made this ah
48:21
made this operation she said that this
48:24
idea that sex is a spectrum
48:26
the it's sort of analogous to saying that
48:29
humans are not
48:31
by pedals
48:32
because some people don't have to
48:34
legs
48:35
yeah yeah it it it's that level
48:38
of reasoning so i dance the best
48:40
estimate we have is not our desire justin's
48:42
overestimate it's it's not
48:44
about ninety nine point
48:47
nine eight percent of
48:49
people are not in are such their male or female
48:51
so
48:53
you know the eight this is just an attempt again
48:55
to pretend this is a very muddled and confusing
48:57
that's that's not to say there aren't very
49:00
interesting examples of the boundaries were
49:02
such gets fuzzy it's caster semenya
49:04
other you know the african runner who was
49:06
or is bad because he's
49:08
she looks like a woman but she didn't look like
49:10
a doesn't have she was pretty
49:12
large yes
49:14
i think it or to i think it it's she has
49:16
a vagina or what looks like a vagina i think if
49:18
you look at her face
49:19
the would say she looked like a man
49:21
the of internal has these though she's technically mail
49:23
yeah i'm right so that that's
49:25
the case will it's just this is it no one's ever did
49:27
either arts intersex people or
49:30
that are are interesting debates be had
49:32
over these sort of borderlands between sex
49:34
but a nice
49:35
interviewed se but we also we talk about this
49:37
or less cream of episode but the word intersects
49:39
is not against it's sort of a misnomer
49:42
the term that people use now is dst
49:44
is heard differences of sexual development because intersects
49:47
makes it sound like you are literally in them at all
49:49
which is
49:50
that's not actually what does is yeah i mean look
49:53
i think the point is point cj
49:55
solid estimate for the true rate of votes
49:57
were there's some ambiguity of whether they're male or female
49:59
again zero point zero
50:02
one eight ninety nine point
50:04
nine eight percent of people are male or
50:06
female were sexually dimorphic
50:08
it would be very weird evolutionarily if
50:10
we were so that article
50:12
in sapiens which is like an important anthropology magazine
50:15
was one example another was
50:17
this
50:18
crazy tweet storm by surrey backer
50:21
who is a i a processor it's
50:23
she was ready for the twitter account at real
50:25
scientists which bills itself as
50:28
quote real science from real scientists
50:30
writers communicators artists inclinations
50:32
scab more than ninety thousand followers
50:35
her tweets was basically was repeat of
50:37
repeat different one she wrote in march let me just read
50:39
just read from the new version
50:42
i want to address a narrative that we
50:44
see around women sports and inclusions
50:46
particularly from those who seek to school trans
50:48
women and women with secretaries in some women sports
50:51
and how this narrative is part of a bigger pattern
50:53
that functions to keep women small i've
50:55
been hearing more frequently the narrative that women
50:57
sport apparently this as a quote protected
51:00
category and quotes so that women
51:02
ten wins because on this account without
51:04
it no woman will ever win again
51:06
the woman completes the women can compete
51:08
not your so women can win well
51:11
like you think any like if is there wasn't a separate
51:13
category think any woman will get chosen for the football
51:15
team or the baseball team or the soccer team
51:17
me personally subliminal if is it that's always
51:19
the as year but i guess this is a not
51:21
the reason why women sports exists as a category
51:23
and be it is not true that no woman will
51:25
ever win against this narrative is profoundly
51:28
paternalistic and keeps women small let's
51:30
unpack this little a women sport
51:32
exists as a category because the dominance
51:34
of men athletes was threatened by women
51:37
competing we see this over and over
51:39
again in the history of sports katie what
51:41
are you sick of the idea that women sports exists
51:43
as a category not as women need it to
51:45
be able to compete but because they would otherwise
51:47
dominant male athletes and male athletes
51:49
would threaten my that does any sense yeah this
51:51
is like
51:52
we cannot leave at one point in my life
51:55
they i was one of the top
51:57
freestyle kayakers
51:59
for under
51:59
in women
52:01
in the country they
52:03
didn't happened over and over again it was immensely
52:05
getting a
52:06
you had never been in about before
52:09
to paddle for six months and beat me
52:11
to see the living in the plot by those
52:13
calling my own skill levels that a big part of it
52:15
was fragrances
52:18
muscle mass is crazy steam supply
52:21
any examples for this thesis
52:23
it's like what a long tweet stores where it appears
52:25
to be littered with examples but they're really weird
52:27
so what is us figure skating
52:29
in the year ninety know to
52:32
one problem is that that's one hundred years ago so
52:34
not really applicable to the present situation
52:37
for
52:37
programming i i think there are probably some
52:39
sports where women do naturally
52:41
have natural advantages over men figure
52:43
skating might be one of them are not sure
52:46
that that's true at like floating i that
52:48
floating
52:48
well as i look i looked into
52:51
i as much as ten minutes which is a the
52:53
the sex differences in in figure skating
52:55
and as it is a little bit complicated because it's
52:57
is an individual sport greed is in a fairly
52:59
subjective way and men and women to sort of
53:01
do it very differently because if such different
53:04
container pretty differently at least two they are very different
53:06
bodies it's better just much
53:08
bigger there's also this whole they were like it's you
53:10
would you go through puberty your body changes
53:12
as a woman apparently that like me
53:14
you sort of have to relearn does it was interesting
53:16
but it's just figure skating is not a great
53:18
example i'm in part because as an individual
53:20
sports another example involves
53:23
jackie mitchell she was a seventeen
53:25
year olds who supposedly struck out babe
53:27
ruth and lou gehrig obviously to the best hitters
53:29
ever it's back to back in nineteen thirty
53:31
one so dense is going back almost a century
53:34
for these examples is is true
53:35
did a seventy year old actually strike them out
53:37
it it's
53:38
really hard to say that there's some controversy
53:41
over whether this really happy or whether
53:43
was a stunt there was addressing smithsonian
53:45
write ups
53:47
it's hard to say and she
53:49
has even if it wasn't her to say this is
53:51
one example is one example you see
53:53
seats may have the site is unique
53:55
sinking fast ball that could be hard to set
53:58
out to buy one of the accounts his neighbors like
53:59
one of the pitches by like a foot which you don't do
54:02
as a professional hit or it's unless you are badly
54:04
school but even if it did happen that's
54:07
what to give up from ninety thirty one the site is
54:09
major league baseball has in open to
54:11
female players for decades as
54:13
have the other pro sports leagues very ib
54:15
this this is sort of would have done yet there's there's no
54:17
women
54:19
had entered the league they they haven't
54:21
because i think
54:23
some people try to argue that there was like discrimination
54:25
but but if a woman being major
54:27
league baseball or the mba or the nfl
54:30
that would be the biggest media story
54:32
of the decade it would it would open
54:34
up so much endorsement money
54:36
so much riches such readings is
54:39
everyone would want it to happen
54:43
the the league's would love to have a female player
54:45
like it would be a bonanza us but the reason
54:47
it hasn't happened is because not
54:50
just at a lead levels but at the high school level
54:52
the differences between men and women make it really
54:54
hard for women to compete with
54:56
that he didn't want to bring up was is this some young
54:58
woman a madison birds and in twenty
55:00
twenty there was photo
55:02
of her was video of her teaching of fifty
55:04
five yard field goal with it on an empty
55:07
football field sixty five yards is like
55:09
even nfl tickers can't do that
55:11
consistently and game conditions and
55:13
skill it's a big deal it's a very long feel go
55:15
and the results excitement the seaside town
55:17
as you college which is not a
55:20
major football powerhouse but it's like
55:22
you know and suitably football and
55:24
sure enough i checked after this wave of like
55:27
excitement of people oh my god she could really
55:29
competes i'd i'd sector stats
55:31
and this woman who they obviously thought
55:33
she was good enough to play they they gave her the
55:35
slots in in her
55:37
time in college she stood for extra points
55:40
which are to seize very short field goals that
55:42
light up a lot of high school teachers could
55:44
take a college extra point and she
55:46
made i'll forward is great but but clearly they
55:48
don't feel confident the put on the fields which had the real
55:51
kick and game conditions and you
55:54
know it's just it's just there are these
55:56
differences and the what and nord me
55:58
about the sweet storm is it really did
56:00
like so many these arguments undermine the case
56:02
for women's sports women would not be
56:04
able to compete at these levels if they had to compete with
56:06
man and so yeah if you buy
56:09
surrey backers are admit this is no real reason for
56:11
women's league and in fact women sweet bids were
56:13
set up because men are
56:15
thread by women which is just ridiculous
56:17
that's what that's what either
56:19
oh right okay i think that there
56:21
are
56:22
like i played i played little league i was an obvious
56:24
like be no right theater again
56:26
second string not good
56:28
the girl i'm in little league team
56:29
there are some
56:32
for sure some so there can be some
56:34
awkward as the same thing when i was kayaking
56:36
i was the only under eighteen girl
56:38
who was doing it i did this summer
56:40
trip where i drove across the country and ads
56:42
passenger van with fifteen teenage
56:45
boys like there are
56:47
obviously there were some difficulty their
56:50
their it can be hard to be the only
56:52
girls in an environment
56:54
for sure but that doesn't negate
56:56
the fact that they're already
56:58
says will differences as well so i think both
57:01
things can be true but she is completely ignoring
57:03
the actual physical differences and so i
57:05
have a friend to
57:06
she was the first girl in
57:08
the in the little league world series and and
57:10
i think for thirteen year olds and
57:13
she was a catcher i believe this is
57:15
in the nineties
57:17
i just googled her and
57:19
one else in this article came up from a from
57:21
a local paper and like us their names but
57:24
here's a quote from one of her teammates they
57:26
never been on a team with a girl before and i
57:28
was
57:28
to sure
57:30
obviously and this is in the nineties of things
57:32
might have changed so obviously like their
57:35
it can be difficult to be a girl in an all male of
57:37
orbit
57:37
this girl is now a man citrix
57:40
this is still at is your things
57:43
first girl little league world series
57:44
it is now simply guy and
57:47
, think there's so much pressure he uttered out
57:49
in for mean girls at some nasty
57:51
i see yeah yeah i
57:53
see your i shouldn't under tower how
57:55
unpleasant experience would be to would a woman in woman male
57:57
dominated space dominated think this i think for a lot of it like this
57:59
the arguments like when when computer programming
58:02
was on an obama to i shouldn't discount
58:04
but i think that a small fraction of the reason
58:06
out there are more women and say the
58:08
n b a
58:09
yes yes that's my
58:11
point is anybody who watches the way
58:13
the and be a markets and sell for example
58:16
you're crazy if you don't think the i'd be a wooded
58:18
wouldn't at the level of like the
58:20
people who run it's embrace
58:22
a female player which there will i do nothing to ever
58:24
be would she have issues in the locker room of course
58:27
you would like talk to eat and strauss about
58:29
what what and be a locker rooms or i it's absolutely
58:31
that's a factor but later
58:32
never been to wmd again
58:33
i did as you
58:35
are one
58:36
it is a a go to
58:38
a w n b a game and
58:40
you will see why women don't
58:42
in the in the a i don't want to be a dick but
58:44
you could you can tell there's it's sorry
58:46
but like op size
58:48
i mean part of this is like you good at w
58:50
any a could be more interesting i think like
58:52
as this is
58:53
coming up may it may impact on the show before
58:55
they'll if they allowed madison
58:56
if they lowered the if they lowered the who
58:58
by two feet
59:00
they made it to court shorter and they
59:02
lords
59:02
they said i would and where he can have it like a new the
59:04
that is just a wouldn't it wouldn't be the same
59:06
he would look
59:07
childish sort of snow
59:08
oh eat women should have equipment
59:11
that fits their bodies
59:12
the reasons what i was gonna say that a
59:14
good high school teams could
59:16
be the women's national basketball team similarly
59:19
it's similarly dallas our team
59:21
of under fifteen boys beat the us women's
59:23
soccer team which is the best in the world
59:25
the soccer is not apparently a
59:28
as is not super popular among women
59:30
sports and most
59:30
the world it's sort of an american thing i didn't realize
59:33
that until i talk to him british guy recently news
59:35
like echo something soccer just above me the
59:37
point is you're you're just ask yourselves would be required
59:39
if you're going to pretend that all this isn't the case
59:41
that there aren't huge differences are stars
59:44
sections i apparently i'm some
59:46
forms of rivalry women can
59:48
be men consistently or at least the best woman
59:50
the that's not it yeah but that's not a special
59:52
guest see the sport that's where
59:54
strength as
59:55
well but up but also it's it's certain
59:58
types of long distance swimming and maybe you've been
1:00:00
running i think with some the running they've closed the gap
1:00:02
but like it's just it's
1:00:05
crazy that this
1:00:07
is what i mean when i say comes across as evolution
1:00:09
denialism that we're not dimorphic in there
1:00:11
aren't these major physical differences at
1:00:14
least post puberty it's just it's such
1:00:16
a losing battle
1:00:16
we can we it on us
1:00:18
it's not like you can't pick the transition out of the lineup
1:00:21
yeah i mean i did this
1:00:23
sort of gets to so matt walsh
1:00:25
uses like right we'd rather rouser rather has
1:00:27
he has documentary out called what is
1:00:29
a it's a what is a woman right
1:00:32
and this is where i just think we're
1:00:34
just we're digging ourselves into such a dumb hole where
1:00:36
we can get owned by the lights of matt walsh there
1:00:38
was a clip he posted where he sort
1:00:41
of a day goes a could you post the way went to africa
1:00:43
is with african tribesmen asking them basically
1:00:46
it's about gender identity
1:00:48
ideology and
1:00:50
the whole like , residuals for the
1:00:52
whole frame it as he writes while the left
1:00:54
says indigenous people are more sophisticated
1:00:58
on gender saw somebody go as somebody
1:00:59
there are three try where they were they practice
1:01:02
female genital mutilation
1:01:03
i hesitated to decide
1:01:06
that he has a commitment to the bit where he would fly
1:01:08
to africa to a remote tribe to trigger
1:01:10
the libs but still gets there and of course
1:01:12
as anyone should have told you if you ask
1:01:14
remote african tribes people about circuits
1:01:17
twenty twenty two liberal mores on sex
1:01:19
and gender they disagree with that completely this
1:01:21
is always a whole like these these this whole
1:01:23
noble savage so has always been so stupid
1:01:25
and said yourself because he said we
1:01:27
have that way but cities that they have like third
1:01:29
such as and stuff like that it's a very different
1:01:32
version from what we have in the states is not
1:01:34
lights describes it isn't like yes i'm
1:01:36
gonna let my two year old decide what they are like what
1:01:38
they actually died a girl so they're not a four man
1:01:40
it's more closer to that
1:01:41
i hate to say i did this is
1:01:43
a movie does look funny i've been trying to get a screener
1:01:46
because you have to pay like twelve dollars to watch
1:01:48
it at the daily wire in a conflict of the daily
1:01:50
wire twelve dollars on the
1:01:52
i've been try to find a screener so
1:01:54
, hopefully we'll get it may we can talk about
1:01:56
it with a little bit i'm a little bit more knowledge
1:01:59
there is
1:01:59
part of sit there a lot eclipse been floating around
1:02:02
and he does he goes and he taught cities to
1:02:04
the liberals and says basically like what
1:02:06
is what woman and they just can't
1:02:09
answer the question
1:02:10
that dude he's out the i think he's a the
1:02:12
women's march and he's or a women's my sassy
1:02:14
what's a woman they want answers to sit
1:02:16
would i i think someone with a pussy hat on
1:02:18
his his city was like a high level
1:02:20
academic i think at brown university
1:02:22
they won't answer is just what
1:02:25
why are we inflicting this on ourselves
1:02:27
what does this game that someone like matt
1:02:29
waltz can so easily make us
1:02:31
look stupid i what is
1:02:34
it is such a weird rabbit hole
1:02:36
that a lot of progress is have gone down and i don't
1:02:38
think it really wins us anything how many people
1:02:41
have been to vid sats oh yeah actually
1:02:43
humans are sexually dimorphic evolutions
1:02:45
as has been understood as far as is actually
1:02:47
subverted at a or as you're just like weird
1:02:50
robotic types who will say whatever they're
1:02:52
supposed to say saying it the
1:02:54
yeah i just i found this to be so demoralized
1:02:56
years ago and for years now i think it's getting worse
1:02:59
but it's the site as if we're at a point where
1:03:02
there's the problem is
1:03:05
people will watch the match was documentary
1:03:07
and because of tribal influences they won't interpreted
1:03:10
as was how easily he is humiliating
1:03:12
our fellow liberals those are still ickes a bigot
1:03:14
why not both my can he be the
1:03:16
you can be bought i would i tweeted the
1:03:18
been on by marry someone with a ukrainian
1:03:21
flight in there's a quote retweeted me
1:03:23
and said that i'm matt ,
1:03:25
exploited those tribes people people
1:03:29
is as see where there are
1:03:31
some classes they answered so as so
1:03:34
see ever stressing definitions
1:03:36
of everything doing anything else on
1:03:39
this anything that that race
1:03:41
this is it was reported as always
1:03:43
we produce with help from crazy would reinstate
1:03:45
you trace i'm jesse singal and
1:03:47
remember a podcast there is someone
1:03:49
who identifies as apart chester
1:03:52
in haiti herzog and also remember the amber
1:03:54
