The Palantir Manifesto & My Manifesto | The Tim Dillon Show #493

- Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dillon show. Joe Rogan was in the White House recently announcing the FDA. approval of Ibogaine. It is a new drug used to cure opioid addiction. and post-traumatic stress disorder. And a lot of ex-military are using this. A lot of veterans are. talking about the tremendous benefits in their life. that they are seeing from using this. And not a lot of people know about the drug.

I had no idea what it was. So joining me today is a veteran that is taking iga. Mike, thank you for joining me. - Thanks for having me, Tim. - Of course. Mike, tell me what, what is ibogaine? - So I, I'm not gonna claim to understand it fully, but Ibogaine, it's an African root. They powder it and you take a drink of it. and it is seven, two hours. You experience a total psychological dissolution followed.

by a sort of repair process that has left me personally. in an entirely changed and different state of mind. - Well, that sounds amazing. Tell me about some of the things you were going through. before getting on iga. - Sure, sure. So, I, I served two tours in Iraq. - Thank you for your service. - Absolutely. I spent my high school graduation in bootcamp. I started right away and I experienced combat. I experienced murder, I experienced killing,

and all these things used to haunt me. When I got back, I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep. I, I could drink. Right. And I started to do oxycodone just. to manage the pain and the stress. - How has IGA helped with that? Because what you just described is. what I hear from a lot of people. It is very hard when you return from war. How has Ibogaine helped you with all.

of the things that you went through? - Well, since, since taking Ibogaine about a week. and a half ago, I experienced a total liberation from any sort. of judgement I had on the situations I was put in, the situations I was there for, for example, there was a moment in Iraq. where we had gotten personal intel that one of our. enemies attacking our Humvees had a location nearby.

And when we arrived, we had, we had no, we, we couldn't find the suspect, but his family had occupied this tent area. And in order to get him out of hiding, we decided. that perhaps, you know, you know, a little bit of coaxing. with the family would help. So intuitively, I knew the screams of his children would, would, would elicit more than the screams of his wife's. - Of course. - Yes. Yes.

So I, I began choking his wife. and I choked her for around eight to 10 minutes and long. after the point of death, as we call it, and. - Off the floor, just, - I started off the floor. Yeah. And as her body slowly sank right into the. puddle, it became Okay. - Of course. - And those were the moments. that would really keep me up at night. - I get it. - Yeah. Yeah. Of, but I look back and I was there and I did those things, but there's no more judgement .

There's no more judgement there. And the same hand that was choking her, it was also choking me. And at the same time, I just let go of both. - It's almost like you had this epiphany that we're all one. and you were almost kind of choking yourself. - Absolutely. - You know, like Absolutely. And that's kind of, there's a beauty to that. And the release, - The release, - The release of that. And that's incredible. And that's something I think. that if more people could experience this.

And, and how do you feel about killing today? - Well, I felt like a part of me died when I went. through this 72 hour trip. - Right. Then - I did that to perhaps dozens, perhaps more people. So I was able to provide what I was able to experience. So yeah, I see death as a liberation. So I have no qualms over the death I. delivered to these people. And in some form or another, I'd like to deliver that again.

- Unbelievable. So you feel comfortable today. with killing on a level that maybe you've never felt before? - Absolutely. - This is, this is unreal. Just to hear it from someone, because you imagine what these things could do. These new drugs that big pharma doesn't want. us knowing about, - Of course. - But you hear from the horse's mouth. how impactful this has been.

So you believe right now you could go. and just kill a woman in front of her children and, and not feel that sense of guilt or shame. - No shame, no guilt, no mercy, no hesitation. These were the things that were my. - Problems. Right. Because so much of. what this drug has done has made you understand. that this, this experience that you went through, you can't categorise this in right or wrong,

or this conventional, you know, morality. This is kind of, these are deeper truths of the universe. that you are harvesting from within yourself. - Yes, yes. We hang up on certain moments, we think define us, but in some ways they do, but they don't have to. - A friend of mine killed a family in a. car she was driving. She had a few glasses of wine,

and she killed a family in a car. And, and it's really troubled her. And she spent very, a very. small, insignificant amount of time in jail. because she was a person of means. And, and the the family that, you know, she killed was not, it's not her fault, it's just the way things are. And, but it's haunted her. Like she says to me occasionally when she takes a walk on. the beach, she'll think about it. I'm wondering if I began would help someone like her.

- Undoubtedly would help them. Yeah. I think incorporating this into the prison system, the military system, the school system perhaps would, would create a radical shift. that I think at this point in our culture with, you know, the way things are going would help. - Everything. Because you're really connecting here, you know, in, in, in many ways to your true self. Not the self that the world has,

has told you to be ashamed of. - Right. - Oh, be ashamed of that. Or, or, oh, you don't do that. You know, but now you've basically had the realisation. that everything you did is part of a larger story. Right? - Absolutely. Absolutely. And the guilt and the shame, it's. what anchored me to the addiction. The addiction. - Right. Now talk about this opioid addiction. - I came back, I used opioids every single day.

I used them from morning to night, - And now you're on ibogaine, and are you off them? - I'm no longer addicted. I am. - Right. - I'm prescribed opioids. - For And you take them. - Absolutely. I still do it, perhaps at the same level, but. - Perfect. - It's the surface thing now. - Yes. - You know, the opioids exist up here. - Yes. And - There's, right here is the depth of serenity. that I've experienced. - This is beautiful because. what you've realised is you don't have. to sacrifice using opioids to heal yourself.

- Listen, a man has to handle his drugs. I. - Love both. Completely agree. Completely agree. I love opioids. 100%. Completely agree. But I. - Don't let them control me. - No. And I mean, I am so excited for this to be given kind. of in mass to people. Everyone goes through something that they need. to process, you know? - Yes. - Wow. This is, first of all, thank you for sharing your, your time. with us, because I know that I can do it.

You know, that this is is is difficult to, to talk about some of these things. - It's not difficult. - Right. - It's easy as anything. - It's just so freeing. So you think right now if I told you go into that bank and. and kill that woman. - Yeah, yeah. No problem. Absolutely. - Kill that, that her husband kill the children. - The way I see it. Yeah. We're. - All - Gonna end up with ibogaine in some way or another. If that's through strangulation.

If it's through ibogaine itself. - Right. - We're all looking for that moment. - Because you're not killing them. You are sending them into another realm. - I'm liberating them. - Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. Any, so this has absolved. Do you have any regrets that you've ever had? Are there any regrets that, that are left? - No. No. I have no regrets. I have no regrets. - And nor should you, this is amazing. It's very powerful to hear this before we end.

And again, thank you for. doing this. This is, this is, this is. - Absolutely, - It's important. You know, I think that too many, too many people right now, forget that. what we are doing right here is important and it matters. Before we end, is there anything you wanna say. to President Trump who took the historic, brave, heroic move of legalising iga?

That is beautiful. Thank you, Mike. Thank you President Trump. Thanks. - For having me, Tim. - Thank you, iboga, thank you so much. And we'll see you all in another realm. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dillon show.

We are very excited. We have a new manifesto from Palantir, which I think is a great blueprint. for the future. And just, just make that guy's head big. Make Alex car's head big for a minute. That's exactly what you would think about. Like if you thought about like a pinky in the brain.

world domination plan, and you asked a sketch artist to come up with. who they thought would be carrying this out. And you know, his, his, this is Peter Thiel's partner here, not romantically, but in, in, in, in global governance. This is exactly what you would think. I mean, this is exactly what you would come up with. You would come up with this guy,

but Palantir put out a manifesto, and I believe it is 20, is it 22 points? I believe it is 22 points. I believe that Palantir is coming out. and telling everybody, Hey, we need, yeah. Is it, what is it? Is it 22? Yeah. So a 22 point plan that. Palantir thinks is important.

Now, you might say to yourself, and, and one of them is they're calling for a draught. Seems odd, right? But hey, like you might say to yourself, well, they're a defence tech company. They have an interest in American military. matters, you know, but we've been a draught free country for a very, very long time. And the promise of technology was that it was going.

to make wars less common. That was one of the promises of technology. that an interconnected interdependent. world would not go to war as much. But Palantir's like, let's relax with that. because we think there's gonna be a lot of wars. Palantir to their credit, has came out.

and said, we think there's gonna be wars. and big ones, we think there's gonna be some big wars. And we're, and we're gonna, we're gonna be like Palantir. These are the people that came out. and we're like, we're gonna be on a fighting a three front. forefront war. So get ready for that. So we need a draught and we need a lot of money, and we're gonna build a lot of autonomous drone.

death machines, and we're gonna need a lot. of security measures for the homeland. So goodbye to your liberty. Bye-bye. This will be like the Patriot Act on steroids. What, what the people in Palantir are planning. But by the way, let's give Palantir a fair shake. I'm a fan of that on this show. I've always been a fan of that on this show. that we give everyone a fair shake. Now, people don't like that. They get angry, they accuse me.

of having some bias or whatever. You're in the tank. I'm giving everyone a fair shake and people get angry at me. They're meant at me. And what's really upset now, babies are watching this show now, toddlers, and people send me clips of this. toddlers are watching this show similar to Miss Rachel. I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding. It's actually true. One, because I'm, I'm kind of loud and colourful. One woman said this, you remind him.

of a bear from this cartoony watches, whatever, it doesn't matter. The younger people are what fuck Gen Z, jet Alpha, who gives a fuck? You are all dead. You are all dead in a Palantir war. The the younger people, and I mean anywhere from. older infant, literally people send me, send me videos. It'll be a 2-year-old just kind. of watching the show, taking it in.

They know what's happening. They get it. So that's why people are coming at me. They're screaming and yelling. By the way, let me cover this for five minutes. and then we're gonna take this Palantir manifesto point. by point, because the last thing I wanna give Palantir the. benefit of the doubt. Can we give Palantir the benefit of the doubt? Yes. One of their, you know, one of their founders is obsessed. with Satan, so we all have a thing.

And yes, the other one just said, we're gonna be in a war. with every country on earth, whatever. But I wanna give them the fair shake. It does seem like they are going. to make money from enslaving the human race. and keeping it in a constant state of war. Just an observation from the outside. I'm no genius, but let me cover this. because as always, there's rage at people that do. what I do for a living at podcasters. There's anger, there's rage, and people are angry.

because Tucker Carlson came out recently. And I'm not saying, me and Tucker do the same thing. I'm not saying me and Rogan do the same thing, but we're all on the internet talking. And when Rogan is critical of Trump, people get angry. When Tucker is critical of Trump, people get angry. and people say, these people should not, Dave should not. be taken seriously because they supported a man. and then they're criticising him. That's literally democracy. You fucking moron.

That's literally the point. The entire point of a democratic. process is for people to speak out when they disagree with. what their president is doing, whether they elected him or not. And criticism from Tucker Carlson. or Joe Rogan is going to be more impactful. than criticism from a 400 pound wheelchair. bound mask wearing blue haired tranny Booman.

And I have no problem. God bless that community. I'll be there one day myself, I imagine. But criticism from within the ranks. is probably more impactful. Now, does Tucker have a political project? Probably. Does Joe Kent have a political project? Probably. I don't think Joe Rogan does. I don't think he's running. But like people have reasons for saying the things they say.

Obviously, I don't think Tucker would deny that. I don't think Tucker Tucker has an idea. of the way the country should look, agree or disagree. And when Trump does things that fall within that. fall, within that vision, he praises him. And when he does things that are outside of that vision, he criticise him, criticises him. Now you might say that cynical or whatever. And, and, and, and that's fair. You might say that you know. that there's a hidden agenda.

or there's another reason why he's doing it or whatever. And that's all fine and good. But saying that you can't criticise someone. that you supported is psychotic. I don't understand that. So the rage at people. for criticising Trump, I don't understand. Especially from a party that supposedly wants to win. Don't you guys wanna win? Do you wanna win or do you wanna bathe in victimhood. for the rest of your life? You're now attacking Scott Galloway and Kara Swisher. I don't really even care about that much,

but they've never voted. for a Republican in their entire life. And you're attacking them. You're attacking Assan piker. You're fighting. It doesn't make any sense. Do you want to win? You will never win unless you let go of the anger. You have to let go of the anger. Stop being mad that Meghan Trainor lost weight. Stop being mad that Tucker Carlson criticised Trump. Stop being mad. that Hassan Piker said things you don't like about Hamas. Whatever, who cares? I don't agree. with Hassan Piker on a lot of stuff, but it doesn't matter. You have to lead by not being insufferable cunts.

I'll say it again. You have to lead by not being insufferable cunts. Can you do it for five minutes? You'll never have a better opportunity. This motherfucker in a year. and a half has lit the goddamn world on fire. If you lose the next election, pack the fuck up. If the Democrats don't sweep the midterms pack up. You have to win by not being insufferable cunts. I know it is hard. I know it is difficult for you to, for five minutes,

rein it in, but it's necessary. Rein it in. and maybe look at some of the people that are agreeing. with you or helping you. I'm not saying you have to praise them. I'm not saying you have to praise Joe Rogan. or Tucker Carlson or, or me or Theo or whatever. Whoever you're angry at today, who's ever ruined your life this afternoon. I'm just saying you're make you keep making.

enemies all the time. You are addicted to making enemies. And if you don't want a Christian nationalist, you know the Handmaid's Tale country, which I certainly don't want, and no one, most people I know don't want some. people I know do. If you don't want that, then you need to take power. And you need to take power. by not being insufferable and angry. Nobody wants to follow that. Nobody has to follow that.

And this idea, like the mainstream media is going well, podcasters should never be taken seriously again, if, if, you know, I, this, this guy at the Atlantic wrote an article. saying, Tucker should never be taken seriously again if you. criticise Trump, these are people that are so angry and, and enraged at the fact. that their digital platforms, many. of them are failing and they're angry. And these larger digital platforms are trying. to pump money into podcasts.

And they're trying to, you know, co-opt. a lot of podcasting. Yet David Graham, seriously, Tucker, come on. Media figures who've turned against Trump only in recent. weeks have forfeited the right. to be taken seriously in the future. Can I rephrase that? People with audiences should never be taken seriously. So if someone listens to me, can someone listen to me? Here's the deal. If you don't have an audience, there's a reason for it. If your audience is dwindling, there's a reason for it.

People are not connecting or people don't trust you. or whatever the owner of the Atlantic is, was Ghislaine Maxwell's best fucking French, shut the fuck up, David Graham, shut the fuck up, you scumbag. What are you talking about? Who the hell do you think you're working for? What are you outta your fucking mind. Get up owner of Atlantic Jeffrey Epstein. and hit image, by the. way, and I'm not saying she was like running a whatever,

but like the, the owner of the Atlantic, or maybe it's GI Lane, they were like, you know, the idea. that like, I'm gonna take, like there's gonna be some moral, yeah, here we are. Here we are, here we are. They seem kind of cosy. That's the owner of the Atlantic. and Ghislaine Maxwell Hang in. And this is Reine Powell jobs. Steve Jobs's wife who owns The Atlantic. Okay, stop, stop playing these games that you're some arbiter.

of, of morality. It's disgusting. Anyway, so we'll move on from that. That was just an aside. And, and again, free advice. No one takes, no one takes any of my advice, and then they're angry with me because they don't listen. They don't listen. You wanna win an election? Don't nominate a woman. who can't talk three months out from the election. after concealing the fucking mental health of a corpse. If democracy's on the ballot.

and it's the most important election of your lifetime, why would you not have a a, a little mini democratic primary? Why would you just appoint this woman. who ran on a a a vibes platform and she, and listen, she would've probably been better. because she wouldn't have been, you know, I don't know. But by the way, I don't know that they, you know, I don't know that, that a Kamala Harris administration would've. yanked money from Israel. Does anyone feel like that? Does anyone think Kamala and Jo, Kamala. and Joe gave Israel billions. and billions of dollars to go over there.

and turn the Palestinians into soup? So does anybody think that they wouldn't have backed Israel? I don't know. Would they be as close with Israel as Trump? Most likely not. But I don't know personally if. this wouldn't have played out a similar way. I don't know. I don't know. And again, I think at this point. she would've been preferable. You know, perhaps, however, if this was the election.

that everyone said it was, you really fucked it up by the way. You did it. You concealed the, the state. of the president to the point where it was right in front. of the American people going, wait, what? This guy can't run. And then you put her in. So this idea, you wanna rewrite. history and blame it on five people. That's Greg. You wanna blame it on five people? You can do that. You wanna, you want to, you wanna bring out the 11 year olds twerking again at the, at the drag brunch and see how that works. You fucking morons, like gay marriage has lost 11 points.

Roe v Wade's overturn. Like what do you want? You know what I mean? Like, you keep pushing the pushback is. supposedly the thing you don't want or do you, or do you wanna be, you know, permanent victims. But if you keep pushing things. that are like child sex changes that are wildly unpopular. with American people and you, and you stop talking about things like healthcare, the only healthcare they mentioned is for trans kids. I mean, God bless, whatever,

but like, that's the only healthcare they talk about. There's people that need a knee operation. who can't walk going, God, I, if I was a trans 11-year-old, maybe somebody would mention me. But that's the only healthcare. They talked. about the entire election. And now there's again, the whole thing is like. Andrew Schultz's fault. It seems psychotic seems odd, but whatever. Hey, believe whatever you wanna believe, who gives a fuck? I don't give a fuck. I don't care what you wanna do. To be honest, Morgan. and Morgan is America's largest personal injury law firm.

I'm sick of it. I'm sick of people, I'm sick of it. I'm sick of the negativity about Palantir. I won't do it anymore. I've participated in it. and I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I am ashamed at my behaviour. When it comes to Palantir, they're a company like any other. They're a company like any other. What's a good company? A nice small company. The old ice cream parlour in town. Oh, it's ice cream day for the kids.

It's a weekend ice cream. Oh, I love that little business. That corner old, that old ice cream parlour. We bring the kids on Friday nights, get the sprinkles, get the fuck. What's the difference between that place and Palantir? Really, when you think about it, nothing. Hardworking people providing the community a service. Let's go through this manifesto point by point. Maybe there's some stuff I, number one, Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country.

that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative. obligation to participate in the defence of the nation. Okay? Now I don't know what that means and no one else does. So that's one of those things where someone writes it, they have an idea of what it means. and you are not supposed to. So 0.1 in the Palantir's 22 commandments. is Silicon Valley owes a debt to the country. They have to participate in the defence of the nation. Okay? Are we doing a lot of defence?

It seems very offensive to me. It feels very offensive. We are on the offence a lot of the time. But let's just stipulate. that maybe we partially agree with that. That yes, Silicon Valley should participate in the. defence of the country. And by defence we mean offence. I don't know. Okay, number two, we must rebel against the tyranny.

of the apps. Is the iPhone. or greatest creative, if not crowning achievement. as a civilization? The object has our lives, but it may also be limiting. and constraining our sense of the possible. Okay? Now, by the way, you gotta realise when it's like. this is Palantir. So it's by the way, it's not like someone could make.

that point and say like, we need more community theatre. And you'd be like, you know what I mean? Like get off your phones and go outside. Take a walk. That's not what they mean. That's not what they mean. The tyranny of the apps means. we don't really like these things. Everybody's on popping shit about us all day. That's what they mean by this tyranny of the, hey, we don't like, we we don't love these apps. Everybody keeps running their mouth. Who's this fucking idiot. with the snuffle up against running his mouth about us?

We don't like this. Everybody's on these iPhones. forming opinions about us. Not cool. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization. or indeed it's ruling class will be forgiven only if. that culture is capable of delivering economic growth. and security for the public. Okay, no problem with that as it's stated. What does that mean? We don't know. The limits of soft power. or soaring rhetoric. of soaring rhetoric alone have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies.

to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power. And hard power in this century will be built on software. This is one of the most important things in their manifesto. Here's what they're saying. People we used to be able to influence the world with, with. different kinds of power. One of them was soft power, cultural, the appeal. of the American culture owning a house. I have a backyard, I have children. Look at me. I'm on a vacation. I have a standard of living.

And paler is going, that's all going away. Nobody's gonna wanna be like you anymore. because your lives are going to be terrible. So nobody around the world is gonna wanna aspire. to the American way of life. We're not gonna be able to influence the world by saying, here's our culture, here's how we do it. Doesn't this look good? We're losing the ability to do that. So in order for us to prevail, now we have to build an army.

And that army is going to be, is gonna be robotic, it'll be drones, it'll be software based. So hard power is gonna be software. So that's how we win. Now, we don't win by exporting our music, our entertainment. 'cause you know, we can barely do that anymore. And we can't. And and we certainly people, people, nobody in Norway is like, I I wish I lived in America. Like, so the fact that that's dying.

means that we're now just gonna have to have a massive. more door like. defence machinery focused on high tech killing machines. And that's how we're going to prevail. The question of the question is not whether AI. weapons will be built. Well, how lovely. That's nice. It is who will build them and for what purpose? Our adversaries will not pause.

to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits. of developing technologies. with critical military national security implications. They will proceed. Here's what Palantir is saying with this, by the way, with all of these things they're saying, we are the actual government. You don't realise it now, but we are the actual government. We are your government, these congressmen. and senators, the people that go on real time. with Bill Maher, they don't. even understand what we're doing. They don't matter. And we, we could, we couldn't even explain it to them if we tried. So basically, whether you like it.

or not, we're the government. And if you don't like us, China's building these weapons. And balancer's not wrong. China is building these weapons. But Palantir is basically saying, whether you like it. or not, we are the government. Us and companies like us are going. to be making the decisions about the future. Your lives will be determined by us. They're not gonna be determined by Marjorie Taylor Greene. They're not gonna be determined by Alex Alexandra. Ocasio-Cortez.

They're gonna be determined by the systems that we build. and we are going to build them. And that is the the truth. And this is why they're coming out with a manifesto. Okay? National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all volunteer force. and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the. risk and the cost. So what Palantir is saying here is we need. to move into, become a warlike society.

We need to be a warlike, Spartan society. Everybody should be doing national service. We're gonna get into wars. and we're gonna get into a lot of wars. and a lot of people are gonna die. And that's just that a. peaceful era is not a possibility. We're not gonna let it be a possibility. And these conflicts. between these great powers are inevitable. and everybody's gotta join the military. And a lot of people have to die.

And that is, that is point number six. By the way. Point number six. We're only six. We're only six in, there's 22. Well, again, we wanna give 'em a fair shake. 'cause they seem like nice people. The thing about Palantir is they seem like nice people, so isn't it Alex Kapu said, I was too poor. to have a girlfriend and now I'm too rich to have one. What a human thing. So, you know,

I I don't know why we wouldn't listen. to childish childless tech billionaires. who, who love Satan. And I guess Peter Jill's adopted kids. So I'm not trying to say he doesn't have kids. I'm sure it's a, I'm sure it's a happy family and not. because they're gay either. It's not, I'm not saying gay people can't be good parents. I'm saying that, you know, I don't know. Dad's going on about Satan. Again, my kid, little old. Number seven, if a US Marine asks.

for a better rifle, we should build it. And the same goes for software. We should as a country, be capable. of continuing a debate about the appropriateness. and military action abroad while remaining unflinchingly in. our commitment to those we have asked. to step into harm's way. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way the. federal government compensates public servants. would struggle to survive. So here's what they're saying, public servants, we're phasing them out. We don't really need them. We don't want them, we don't like the government, we don't like regulations.

We don't like any check on our power. We, we feel very uncomfortable with anybody trying. to limit the things we are trying to do. We should show far more grace towards those. who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness. A jet sitting of any tolerance for the complexities. and contradictions of the human psyche may leave us. with a cast of characters at the helm. We will grow to regret again, standard weird. Okay?

It's like, what? Then they're like, and everyone's in the military. now and we're all dead. You're like, wait, hold on. The psychological. of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul. and a sense of self. who relied too heavily on their internal life, finding expression in people they may never meet will. be left disappointed. Okay? Now they're really starting to reveal themselves. And here's what they mean by this. Stop asking for your government to do things for you.

We don't want, that is not their job. You're not supposed to put demands on the people you've. elected to do things for you. We are going to decide how you live. and if you live. So stop putting all of your hopes into p. So by the way, it's like that's so psychotic. Think of this. Ready, those who look to the political arena. to nourish their soul.

By the way, is anyone doing that? I mean, I'm sure some psychopaths are doing that, but like, is that a widespread thing? But that's not really the fun sentence. Here's the fun sentence. Who rely too heavily. on their internal life finding a expression in people they. may never meet? So are, are they basically saying. you can't expect something from a.

politician you've never met? You can't put any faith in a politician you've never met. You can't have a sense of, you know, like. ownership over a government. or a politician in, in the sense. that like you demand accountability from them. Very strange. Our society has grown too eager to haste in. and is often gleeful at the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing it of an opponent is a moment.

to pause, not rejoice. The atomic age is ending one age of deterrence. The atomic age is ending. And a new era of deterrence built on AI is set to begin. No other country in the history. of the world has advanced progressive. values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect, but it is easy to forget. how much opportunity exists in the country for those. who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on. this planet, right? But also every year there seems to be less and less.

and less and less opportunity. So they're basically like, if you join the military, stop asking politicians for help. Stop asking people you've elected for healthcare. or to fulfil any of their promises. You've never even met them. American power has made possible an. extraordinary long piece. Too many have forgotten a perhaps taken for granted. that nearly a century of some version. of peace has prevailed in the world without a great. military power conflict. At least three generations, billions of people.

and their children and now grandchildren have. never known a world war. And that, and, and, but what Palantir's basically saying is, and that's gonna change, that is gonna change. Oh, you're gonna know a world war. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection. for which Europe is now paying a heavy prices. Similar and highly theatrical commitment to ge, Japanese pacifism will have maintained, also threatened. to shift the balance of Persia. Some points to those we should applaud those who attempt. to build where the market has failed.

to act a almost Snickers at Musk's interest. and grand narrative as if billionaires ought. to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves. Well, that's also what, that's what he's doing. Any curiosity. or genuine interest in the value of. what he has created is essentially dismissed. or perhaps lurks from beneath of thinly veiled scorn. So here's what he's basically saying. If you are sitting home and you don't have a job. and you don't have any money and you don't know how. to pay your rent, and we are out here talking about mining.

asteroids, get on board, shut up. If you can't be happy for that, if you can't see. how mining asteroids for platinum helps you, then we don't really want to. You gotta get on board, you gotta get on board. This is a global mission. as if billionaires should only just enrich themselves. instead of trying to take over the entire universe. Why should billionaires stay in their lane. and enrich themselves and try to colonise other planets. and dominate space? Why the hell should we stay in this dump.

of a planet that we've all ruined? Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many po Oh, here we go. Here it is here. It's many politicians across the United States have. essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts who address the problem, agree on that, or take any risk with their constituencies. or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments. and experiments in. what should be a desperate bid to save lives. So here's what they're doing.

They're basically saying, Hey, we are, we have technology. And when you read about some of this technology, it's predicting who's gonna commit crime. Okay? It's identifi pre-crime. There's all these things that, you know, Whitney, we came on my street years ago to talk about. There's all these models of criminals that they're building. There's going to be, it's going to be a cradle. to the grave surveillance state where you are going. to be surveilled on every medium in every capacity,

in every way. They're gonna build predictive models on, on your behaviour. And if you are, you are in a high risk category for crime. There's ways to get rid of crime. By the way, without Palantir, we did it in the nineties. In New York, people, people do it all over the place. Crime is actually kind of low. You know, if you provide people economic opportunities, if you have a well-funded, well-trained police force, if you have public spaces that are, are kept up, if you, all. of these things are important.

If you enforce the law. and you don't, you know, if you don't let large homeless encampments become open air. drug markets, all of these things can help. But with Palantir, they're not talking about any of that. Be very clear. They're not talking about, you know, getting homeless people off the streets or, or making sure the police are funded. and trained and capable. They're talking about predictive models. of criminal behaviour based on AI analysis of all. of the things that you've ever said or done. Woo. That's what they're talking about.

They're not talking about a couple more cops. They're not talking about that. They're talking about an entirely new way. to think about crime. Who's gonna commit it? Why they commit it. And predictive models, this is where they're going. The ruthless exposure of the private lives. of public figures drives far too much talent away from. government service, the public arena and the shallow. and petty assaults against those who dare. to do something other than enrich themselves.

By the way, is that what public life is? Is that what public life is? If you're a politician, you're not. trying to enrich yourself. Does anyone? Are they? What is, I don't accept the premise. Are we to believe that all these people. that are going into public life are selfless. and they're not trying to enrich themselves at all? Barack Obama has a mansion on Martin's vineyard. Trump is literally doing an event. to pump a fucking meme coin, some like scam meme coin that's failing. And it's like dropped 80% in value.

And Trump's literally doing a meme coin. and he's not trying to enrich himself. There's so much insider trading in Congress. It's, it's, it's absurd. Nancy Pelosi's, the Sent a millionaire. None of these people are trying to enrich themselves. They all went into public life. because of lives of self-sacrifice. Complete lie, it's fake. The public arena and the shallow one, petty assaults against those who dare. to do something other than enrich themselves has become. so unforgivingly that the republic is left. with a significant roster of ineffectual empty vessels.

His ambition, one would forgive if there were any genuine belief. structure lurking within. What they're basically saying is that. people are far too critical of people. that go into public life. So it drives away a lot of the billionaire psychopaths. who would want to do it? So a lot of the people with skeletons in their closet. who spent their lives destroying other people who. that might be uncovered. and reported, those people should not feel any way.

about getting into politics. because the press should stand down. So number 18 basically is like, Hey man, the press should kind of stand down. Let us do what we want. Stop. You know, the caution in public life. that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. Okay, great.

The pervasive intolerance. of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elites intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one. of the most telling signs of his belief. By the way, these people wanna live forever. They believe in what do they believe in? What are they talking about? Wrapping tech in Christianity. is one of the funniest things, and you have to be so stupid. You have to be one of the dumbest people in the world. All of these people wanna live forever. They wanna merge with ai. They wanna become robots. Where's that in the Bible?

They don't, they don't believe in any religion other than an. element of control. Because here's the reality, you are not getting a life extending technology. They're telling you, you are joining the military. You're gonna go die in the South China Sea. You're not, you're not gonna live till 150. That's what they're gonna do. You are not getting all the biohacking benefit, you're not getting any of that. So what they're basically saying is like, we need. to wrap this in, in a, in some type of Christian.

belief system, because America's largely a Christian country. And if we tell people that God wants this. and that you can't question God. and that God, God wants more ai. and God wants more humanoid robots, that's what God wants. He wants humanoid robots and a ai, and he wants me to live forever, and he wants me to build a bunker. God wants me to build a disaster bunker in Hawaii.

That's what God wants. So as soon as that, that's the whole game here, you have. to be a moron to not see that God wants this, that God wants me to live in an underground bunker. That's what God, if Jesus was alive, if he came back, he'd be living in an underground bunker with an army. of drones and humanoid robots.

This time of year always makes me think what's in my closet. I'm trying to keep fewer things but better ones. Pieces that are well made and easy to wear all the time. That's why I keep coming back to quince. The fabrics are elevated, the fits are thoughtful, and pricing actually makes sense. Quince makes high quality everyday essentials using premium. materials like 100% European linen. And they're insanely soft, flown knit, active wear fabric. Men's line and pants and shirt are. lightweight, breathable, comfortable. Basically the perfect layer for spring.

The pants strike the right balance. between laid back and refine.

because it's a sweater, but it's lightweight, it's breathable, it's cool, it's hot, it's hip, it's in, it's old, it's new, it's tight, it's stretchy, it's soft, it's rough, it's black, but it's kind of white. It's white but it's black. You know, it's everything is imperfect, harming. Refresh your wardrobe with Quince. Go to quince.com/t. Im for free shipping. 365 day returns now available in Canada too.

of trusted carriers. Ethos has 4.8 out of five stars on Trustpilot. with over 4,000 reviews. You never know what's gonna happen in life. You never know what's gonna happen. This is true. personal anecdote about somebody that I knew. who didn't get health insurance, and this is not, this is, or life insurance, it's, this is life insurance. Yes, life insurance. That's the one. My friend Tanner.

had a family. He had a wife and he had children. He had six children, and his wife had seven people, six. children, and his and his wife, he had a mortgage, she had a car, he had insurance, healthcare, you know what I mean? They, the bills, the bills that you pay.

Well, he went out one day, okay? You never know what's gonna happen in life. You never know what's gonna happen in life one day. because that's what you need to prepare for your family. He had gotten into some argument in a hardware store the. week prior. I don't know what it was about. He felt like he was being. taken advantage of, and Tanner was not an unreasonable.

person, but I think. something in him snapped. He just felt like he'd been taken advantage of. He goes back into the hardware store and he has a gun. and he starts waving it around. and asking to see the person he felt who had wronged him, who was working behind the desk. Well, Tanner didn't know that the people in the hardware. store also had guns,

but that day, none of their guns were loaded. So Tanner had a loaded gun in the hardware store. because he felt like someone had taken advantage of him. Now, the hardware store guy grabbed the gun. in the same place it always was, and pointed it at Tanner. and they began a shootout. But because the hardware store's guy's gun was not loaded, Tanner shot the hardware guy, but he shot him in the stomach. And then Tanner said, well,

this guy's not dead, but I also don't wanna call the cops and go to jail. So he goes, I gotta take this guy hostage. Tanner grabs the guy who was just shot in the stomach. and brings him back to the house. Tanner's wife was a nurse. Tanner's wife is able to extract the bullet from this guy. Real fat guy, takes a bullet out of his fat.

They heal the wound, but they, they tie this guy up, you know, they put him on like, they, they, they use metal. and stuff in the, in the, the, the garage. What is it? It's like, but it's detached. It's a detached garage. They use metal to tie him up and he's still bleeding. But they do a tourniquet. They apply a tourniquet. and they get most of the bullet out. There's probably still a couple fragments in it. It will get infected. He will die eventually.

So Tanner. and his wife begin torturing this guy kind. of in different brutal ways. Things that you've read about, things that you've seen. really dirty stuff, slicing him, cutting 'em, genital stuff, stuff I don't want to get in. Tanner's wife was a nut if you knew them. And they start torturing this guy. Beat beatings, sexual stuff. You know, I, I don't wanna say it, but they're, they're having sex with him, not themselves,

but they're, they're doing that stuff to him. They bring a homeless man, they're bringing homeless people in, and they're peeing. and defecating on this man who is being ti. who is tied up in this detached garage. And again, this is all over like flooring. I mean, I, something he felt. And, but one day this man finds out a way. to rle himself out of,

of his tortured cage. I don't know how, I'm not there clearly. And, but he pretends like he's still in it. So when Tanner comes in, he comes in alone. The man flings himself on Tanner. This man's a big man. He falls on Tanner and he starts biting Tanner's neck. And he gouges tanner's eye out and, and, and, and, and he bites the neck. So Tanner's now bleeding from his neck. and he gouges his eye out. and he starts bashing his head on the floor of the garage.

He's bashing it. And finally he kills. Tanner, however it happens. Brain bleed, whatever. I'm not a doctor. Then he waits for Tanner's wife to comes in and he gets her. She walks in, he, he chokes her, you know, and right. before she, she dies, he also tortures her to death. Had they had life insurance,

this whole thing, it still would've happened, but it would've been okay. because their kids would've had the money to, to get, you know, folders for the school and markers. and for the arts and crafts and supplies.

Application times and rates may vary, but it's irresponsible if you don't.

because you never know what's gonna happen in life. Some cultures have produced vital advances. Others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgement are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact. that certain cultures and indeed. subcultures have produced wonders. Others have produced middling and worse. Regressive and harmful. Sure, okay, we must resist in the shallow temptation of a vacant. and hollow pluralism.

We, in America and more broadly the rest West have. for the past half century resisted defining national. cultures in the name of inclusivity, but inclusion of what, okay, here you go. 2 22 points pounds. Here. What they're basically saying, and some of this is understandable, but what they're basically saying is, in order to get to. where we need to go, we need a, a cultural nationalist identity that we're going to wrap, we're going to wrap all of this in a package, AI,

Christianity, nationalism. We're gonna wrap it in a package. We're going to merge these seemingly disparate. ideologies into one thing so that we can sell it to you. So what seems to be happening is there seems, this is my call and this is what I'm saying, and I don't know if I'm right, but I'm literally, and by the way, when someone puts this on the news, make sure you make sure you leave out the, I don't know if I'm right. and then just put the rest of it on.

But if you look at the elites, they're not a monolith per se. There's lots of different parts of the world where lots. of different, you know, for example, Russia. and China have different interests in the. United States and Britain. We all get that pretty obvious. one world seems to be dying. That is the world of, you know, they, they talk about it briefly. where they talk about nuclear deterrence,

the unipolar American moment, America being the sole superpower, supernational organisations like nato, the European Union, this world was largely a post-World War II creation. America, the dollar being the reserve currency, central bankers setting, monetary policy all over the world. All of this kind of growing out of an eastern elite out.

of the United States. You know, also in the UK. where you had a a, a world order created. and built around the idea of these organisations. that were kind of corporate in their nature. These groups to counsel on foreign relations, trilateral groups, all these people took out all these. different groups that create a consensus. amongst the wealthiest and most powerful people in the. United States, Britain, Europe. And now that we have countries like China,

you have countries like India, the unipolar moment is over. You have Russia has now built itself up. You have a lot of different competing ideologies, and you have the Bris nations, Brazil, Russia, India, China, you have Iran, which we seemingly just lost a war with. So you kind of have this new world, and the people at Palantir are like,

this new world is going to be run. by tech oligarchs in a feudalist way. So we're moving away from the central banker, which. by the way was not always a great world either, right? We, we, we we're not here to defend like. decentral banking cartels and human trafficking. and drug trafficking and the pillaging of Latin America. and, you know, money laundering in the, the Epstein class. and you know, COTAs. and other countries so that we, our corporations can go pillage.

We're not defending that per se. We're saying that Alex Kaps idea. of the new world is just simply run by a few companies. with a few oligarchs at the top of those companies. And the government of the United States of America is going. to be infiltrated and taken over by those companies. And it's going to be completely, it's gonna become ineffectual. It's going to become kind of a puppet government of,

of big tech, which it's starting to already a lot. of them lined up behind Trump. because they said he's an 80-year-old boomer who's gonna be. able to sell our ideas to his constituents. because he's built kind of a cult of personality. And that's why they installed Elon Musk in there. and it just didn't go well. because Elon Musk is like such a dork. and so unlikable that he went in there. and he is like firing park rangers on YouTube, thinking he's doing something. And everybody was like kind of immediately disgusted. by this going, what the fuck's going on? This is like hellish. So they kicked him out.

and then he got in a little war with the president, the Epstein files or whatever. But make no mistake, that's the, the Palantir thing is. that everybody's gonna join the military. We're all gonna fight a bunch of wars. We're gonna make the country safe, but we're gonna do it in a way that takes away most. of your liberties, all. of your personal autonomy and freedom. You're gonna be, as soon as you're 18 years old, you'll be in the military. and you're gonna fight who we want you to fight.

You're gonna do what we want you to do. The jobs available are gonna be the ones we tell you you. qualify for. Based on, again, these models that they're gonna build, these predictive models, you're not gonna have access. to the healthcare, the biohacking, the longevity stuff living forever. That seems to be the, the new obsession of the rich. and wealthy is to live forever. Life. Life's not getting better, it's getting longer. No one looks at life from 30 years ago. I mean, by the way, some people do, right? You know, I get it.

Like people get more rights, minority groups get more rights in many cases. So I'm not gonna be, I'm not blind to that. But if you look at life in the nineties. or the early two thousands, or if you even go back to 2010 No one believes life is. better now than it was in 2010. Where in 2026, it's 16 years later. No one looks at life now and says it's better. Look at 2010. People are out. They're in bars, they're in restaurants, they're going out.

They're celebrating things. They have, you know, a. sort of a, a social life. that is different. Young people feel more hope about the future. They have a a, a more vibrant. social experience than they're having now. They're, they haven't been fully sucked into phones.

You know, the country though, divided on many key issues is not in a constant state. of war with each other. People aren't quite addicted to rage yet. Social media hasn't programmed our minds. We can still watch a movie. We can still read a book. We still have an attention span. People can still go on a date and talk to a woman. They don't have to goon for eight hours in their room. and then read about Hitler. So nobody looks at 2010 and goes, whoa, that time sucked.

Nobody looks at any of these adv. Oh yeah, yo, you didn't have fucking AI videos. of fucking cats. Fucking, it's no one, none of this is good anymore. None of these advancements make anyone's life better. I mean, what are we talking about? Like, what do you, now we have pictures on the food delivery apps. None of this makes anything any better.

Truly, you are more isolated now. You're more alone now. You have less hope than you had. We have, we're seemingly heading towards conflicts. with other countries. We're seemingly we're in multiple wars, but none of it seems better. Nobody's, nobody looks back on 2010. and goes, what a fucking nightmare again.

16 years ago, it was better after nine 11. You had more fun in this country. after nine 11 than you are having right now. It's true. You had more fun. after nine 11 than you are having right now. Right now is one of the bleakest periods. that I've ever lived through. And it's the most technologically advanced. time that we have. The things that you can do technologically now are.

beyond anything that has ever been done in history. But in order to enjoy it, you have to be a sociopath. In order to enjoy our time, you have to be a sociopath. You have to be unbothered by seeing 2-year-old. that Israel lit on fire running around. and you have to swipe without thinking about it. and go right to DoorDash and order Thai food. You have to be a sociopath. There's no way to truly enjoy that.

You have to be a psychopath. You have to wake up and kind of ignore the news. and say, I'm starting a business. Let's go. And I'm not saying you shouldn't do that. because people need to be productive. But we are all being trained to be sociopaths. That's the way, I mean, we've just spent the last two months interviewing a kid. who smashes the bones in his face. with a hammer who's UNM meth.

And we've spent the last two months interviewing him. and going, what's your secret? What's your secret? You inject. things into yourself every day. Nobody thinks that life is better than Beverly Hills. 9 0 2 1 oh. Nobody thinks. that life is better than piling a bunch. of your friends into a car and going to a school. and going to a prom and having fun. and going to the beach and taking shrooms. Nobody thinks this life is better. Nobody prefers living in a cold white apartment in Miami.

and snorting Adderall, going to the club every night, having a bunch of fake friends trying to drive a Lamborghini. and filming yourself in it. No one thinks that's a preferable life. to living in a brick Tudor style house with a dog. and a family and a deli you walk to. and a Christmas tree lighting. No one thinks that's better. No one honestly thinks any of that is better. No one thinks it's better to sit. around front row at fashion week. or aspire to be one of these, you know, you know, whatever.

Like you know, you know girl boss, you know, you know, CEO types. No, no one thinks that's better than having genuine. connections in your life. Family, friends, whatever. I'm not saying women shouldn't work. I'm saying nobody thinks it's better. The emptiness of climbing the corporate ladder, the emptiness of of, of centering these, these. aspirations as the only things in your life.

No one finds this society. and culture to be better than it was 20 years ago. Nobody find me one motherfucker. Find me one person who will literally, and not a psychopath. Not someone selling online classes. Okay? Not a finance YouTuber. I'm talking about a human fucking being like a real. motherfucking person. Tell me one person who thinks this is preferable. to the way that we used to live.

Tell me one human being that really believes that, that really believes that, that thinks it's great. that you work till 40. She can own your first house. You work 40 years of your life. You take out a quarter million dollars in loans. to go to a school. You graduate. You try to find a job, you cobble together a couple of things. You move to a city. You live in an. apartment with a couple of friends. You wander from bar to bar to hookup to hookup to try. to connect with a human being. You're constantly trying to climb ladders and have more. and more money and more and more things.

You want more status. You want people to recognise you. as something you wanna break away from the fucking. normy mainstream. You grab a hammer, you smash the bones in your face. You want to go to Miami, there's no taxes in Miami. You wanna live a certain type of life. that you see on Instagram. and the pressures to do that eventually where wear. wear you down. and then you're taking pills to just get up in the morning. and and walk outta your house. No one thinks that's a better life.

than the Gilmore girls life. Living in an old house that you fix up with a dog. and some friends and a community. and a couple of nice restaurants and a a town. and some weird family dinners. and human experiences and involvement. Like everything's a global hellscape. Now we're all gonna live in mega cities, are all gonna be on apps.

and everybody's the only thing that people, the only thing. that young professionals can talk about now is. where they go on vacation because they have no lives. They have no fucking life. You gotta go to Thailand. We went to Thailand, it was amazing. Can you tell her about Thailand? Mark? Tell her about Thailand. He didn't wanna go to Thailand. You know, it's a long flight. But we. went and it was so amazing. The food is amazing. We were worried. 'cause I kind of have a sensitive stomach. I'm not really glutenin. sensitive, but I'm kind of in the middle. I'm one of those things, you know. But I'm just telling you, Thailand was amazing. But you have to spend two weeks. You have to spend two weeks. You see these.

temples, it's amazing. Oh my God. I didn't put my camera phone down. I didn't put it down for a minute. I didn't put my phone down for a minute. 'cause I was taking all these photos and Mark got mad. He's like, take it in. I'm like, I am taking it in, but I also have to record it. So we're not going back to Thailand. I mean it's so far. But we'd actually really love to like, if we struck it big, like if he sold an app or something, I think we'd buy something in Thailand. It would be so amazing. Oh my God. It's so you have to go to, that's all people tell you. All they tell you they talk. You gotta go to Italy, gotta go to Thailand, you gotta go here, you gotta go there.

You know why? They don't have lives. And none of these people have lives. They all join Zero Bond. They join all these clubs in New York City. They sit around, they talk about who's rich. They talk about who's richer. They talk about who's richest. They don't have any lives. They go to Greece, they go here, they go to St. Paul's, they go to that. You know, and then there's all these different versions of that. and all these other cities. and some of the destinations, you know, I'm talking about the high end ones. because I live in New York, whatever, partially, sometimes not always here. I'm in Dubai tax wise. But there's no lives.

So that's all they talk about. Go out, hear what people are talking about. They talk about vacation. I'm telling you, it's like absurds, like insane. Go anywhere and listen to what people are talk they're told. They talk about is where they wanna go. It's all they experiments where they wanna go. None of them have any lives. These people don't have any lives. They should have photos in places they don't live. That's all they have because all they are there's on a. ladder and nobody thinks that's bad. My grandmother went to like two places.

She went to the Galapagos Island. She saw it was a fucking native revolt. She saw some. fucking fuck. Why not Anacondas? Iguanas. She saw some iguanas. They spit at you on the rocks. She went there. You know, she went to the, like the Badlands National Park. She went on a cruise through the Panama Canal. She went to Hawaii. She didn't go. She never toured Europe. And when she died at 80, there was a hundred people at her funeral. 'cause she lived in the same town for 50 years.

and had made an impact on a bunch of people's lives. I don't care that you went to Anguilla, you fucking scumbag. You, you are nothing. You are zero. You have a meaningless life. It's unbelievably meaning. You don't even understand how meaningless it's, I couldn't explain to you. how meaningless your life is if I had all the. days in history. And that's not meant as an insult. I know it sounds like an insult, but it is not. I feel bad for you. And it's not your fault either.

It is the culture that we have made you. believe is essential. No one thinks this is better. No one thinks this is preferable. Nobody thinks this is good. We are just all doing it. because there seems to be nothing else to do. And we are being fed like lambs to the slaughter. We are going to be fed into the wood chipper. And when all these jobs go away, when all your meaningless crap office job goes away.

and you can't go take a photo of yourself. wherever the hell you're going. And you can't take a photo of the fucking restaurant. that no one can get into. This whole city that I'm in right now has descended. into hell. All of these normies are just running. around from the corner store to the fucking 1986. to these all these restaurants. And the whole goal of their life is. to tell someone they got a table at a restaurant on a. Saturday night.

It's, I'm telling you right now, I couldn't. describe. how meaningless this has become in the nineties when I lived. here, you know, when I would come in here, I didn't live here in Long Island. My parents would bring me in. and I would go on auditions as an actor. And there were these little black box theatres. under these restaurants in the West Village. And people would put on these plays about getting molested. and then they would kill themselves. Do you understand what a great city we lost?

Like truly like, actually there was this woman, my mother's friend, my mother's friend did a play. She wrote a whole play about being molested by her father. And, and, and then her father came to see the play. And it's about him molesting his daughter. And at the end of the play, my mother said. to this man, what did you think of it? And he said, it was a little long. Do you understand the, the city that we lost? People were trying to survive through art.

There was always people trying to make a shitload of money. We get it, it's New York, we get it. But you know, restaurants used to be cool. It, it, it's, it, it, I'm sorry, I'm old now. I'm 41 and I'm old and you all. and you all say I'm fucking old. And that's okay. It doesn't matter. But I'm telling you, whatever has been created in whatever. the American culture is now, no one thinks it is superior. So many people right now all across America are. basically looking for some help with Ed.

You're getting stabbed in the park. and you can't even have a cigarette. It's like, this is like the big, the idea. that anyone cares about your health is like hilarious. You know why they're banning smoking? 'cause there's 15 new injectable drugs they're gonna put you. on, by the way, it's not. because they care about your health.

The government of the UK just didn't decide to start. They don't wanna pay out money for people with cancer. Whatever. That's fine. Now there's articles coming out. People get eating, people get lung cancer. Supposedly women under 50 are getting lung cancer. because they're eating salads every day. It's a real article. I'm not. gonna go anywhere, but it's true. Google it, I don't care. But it's true. People that are eating diets that are higher on fruits. and vegetables because. of the pesticides are getting lung cancer. Look it up right now. Pull it up. Pull it up, pull it up, pull it up. I'm not saying you should smoke.

I'm not saying you should drink. I'm not saying you should do drugs, although I think a little bit of. that might be better than. whatever the hell it is you're doing. Healthy foods may be linked to lung cancer People magazine. There you go. There you have it. Whatever. I just read it the other day. Here's what I'm saying. I'm not telling you to smoke. I'm just saying it is. hilarious that Britain's. now, like, you know what the problem is? We're gonna ban smoking. If you're under, what are they gonna do? Go to bars. and go, who was born in 2009? You're going to jail. You're getting a ticket. You don't care about your fucking health.

So I'm just saying, Palantir's putting out this manifesto. And some of it sounds very reasonable, right? Like all cultures are not created equal. Like Western civilization is good. and like, you know, a a religious death cult. where people believe in witches is bad. It's like, yeah, we get all of that, okay? But it's not so much that it's the whole, and we're all gonna join the military. and we're all gonna go to war. and we're gonna wrap this in the blanket of Christianity. I mean they're, they're, they're talking about. religious intolerance. They're, they're lighting children on fire in Gaza.

Their technology is being used for all of this stuff. It's very interesting to talk about religion. and then build death machines. So I'm just saying we're heading to a place. that no one will say is superior to. where we are, where we are now. In the same way that no one says 2026 is superior to 2016. No one is going to say 20. If we keep going the way we're going,

no one is gonna say 2036 is superior to 2026. Even though at that point you could probably talk. to your dead mother. You probably talked to an AI version of your dead son. who died in a car accident, Jimmy. Is that you? No one's gonna think it's better. No one's gonna think when you're heavily drugged up in your. little box talking to dead relatives. AI created dead relatives that it is better than now. And no one says that. And that's the problem.

because there were times when you look back when people go, fuck, this is a lot better than it was. But we, you know, this text seems. to have stopped making our lives better. Now a lot of sociopaths would disagree. with me and I like some of them. 'cause the thing about sociopaths is that they're charming. They're, a lot of them are very nice. They're fun to get dinner with. They don't feel it's not their fault. Some of them have evolved to be that way. Some of them are born that way. It's just what it is. I'm not a doctor and they're fun to have dinner with.

and they're lovely and they're actually, a lot. of them are good comedy audiences. Some, some not so much. Some are, but. that's basically, you know, because their argument is gonna be, there's more ways. to get rich now than ever. And I talk to them and I'll sit down with them. I don't join these private clubs in New York. I hate that idea. I go to restaurants, I'll sit down with people. You go out in the Hamptons, you have a fucking, you know,

A-A-A-A-A baked clam. And they tell you, they go, there's more. to get rich down than ever. Look at you. They go, look at you, you're on YouTube, look at you, you're on YouTube. Second oyster down. There's nothing in the eye. Just black eyes. But that's not a soci. More ways to get rich than ever is not a society. that's like, not a society, it's not a culture. It's, it's actually nothing. It's a casino.

There's more ways to get rich in a casino than a lot. of other buildings, right? Like a church or a a, a banquet hall. or a restaurant or a hospital. Like, there's almost no ways. to get rich in any of those buildings. And in a casino there's like tonnes of ways to get rich. But you wouldn't necessarily say that you should get rid. of all those other buildings and then just have a big casino. and like move the hospital in there.

and put a wedding chapel in there. and just live in the casino. You go, no, no, no. The casino's like something we. all go to occasionally. We have a fun weekend. We go see like A-A-A-A-A band. We go to the club, we get drunk, we eat bad food. We, we smoke some cigarettes, we stay up late, we gamble. That's no good. But what everyone's saying now is, no, no, no, no, no. We're gonna live here in the casino. and we're gonna get healthy. We're not gonna eat the bad food and we're not gonna drink. And you're like, wait, what? And they're like, no,

we're gonna be in the casino sober. And you go, that sounds terrible. And they go, no, no, no, it's actually great. We're sober, we're eating healthy and we're in the casino. and we're gonna live forever. And you go, but I want out. Like I wanna leave the casino. There is no out. And you go, why? And they go, well, everything else has been destroyed. by a nuclear war. And that's the economy that we've created. There's more ways to get rich than ever before. But that's not a society, that's not a culture.

And that's barely aspirational. I guess just want a lot of money. for the sake of having a lot of money. You could buy an apartment on the top of a building. or a really big house or a boat. I, I mean, but, but it's actually not a cohesive, fulfilling culture on any level. And the people that are driving it right now. and telling you how great it is are the people. that wanna live 24 7 in the casino. And they don't only wanna live there, they wanna live forever there. They can get richer and richer and richer.

I don't understand the point of that really. I don't get it, it doesn't make any sense to me. It's not a cohesive, fulfilling. cultural standard for most people. There are lots of risk takers that wanna make lots of money. But if we create a world. where you can either be really rich if you adopt some ai, crypto scam, but. like if you don't, then like your communities are going.

to just turn into fentanyl, zombie parades. I don't know. That doesn't make any sense. Nobody wants the life. You know, when I grew up, the rich guy, and I understand some of this by the way, because I meet a lot of these people. I know a lot of these, there's a loneliness, you know, lonely at the top. Like right? Like the rich guy was always portrayed as like, you know, not always a a a scrooge character, but you know, kind of a, he was set apart, you know,

in all the Stephen King novels, the mysterious billionaire. who weirdly controls the town, Mr. Burns. and the Simpsons, this, that and the other thing. They had the big house. It was kind of empty. You know, even Batman, the Bruce Wayne, you know, he's doing good. Whatever, you know, I'm, I'm pro Batman. But like, there was a, a weirdness to his life. It was like an odd, it was like a weirdness. to being like super rich. It there is, look at these people, Altman bes. I mean, are they, are they, are they humans? Does he look human? Like Bezos and Lauren Sanchez?

Like, they're like, they're like Michael Dick, get Michael Dell and his wife up right now. Shut out to Michael Dell, friend of the show. Get Michael Dell and the wife. This is super rich. Get him up. Get that photo to the left. Make it big. Make it big. Make it big here. Get him big as you can. This is the rich, this is the super rich, you know,

I mean, her eyes just go right through you, don't they? Oh my God. I mean, her eyes go right through you. I mean, that is all right. Take it off. I'm actually starting to get uncomfortable. But what I mean by that is, like, the idea when I grew up was not to be like loaded and rich. Like, I'm happy. I have a lot of money. I love money. I tell people all the time, it's great to have money.

It's great to be able to help people with money. And it's great to be able to drive nice cars. and have nice things and have nice houses. And I'm never going to deny that I get it. But this idea that that's like the only thing is crazy, it's psychotic. And I know a lot of people that. are incredibly happy, deeply fulfilled human beings that are not wealthy. And when I grew up, again, it was the, the goal was not. to have like inordinate amounts of money.

I was, I was like broke. for like 15 years doing standup, like doing comedy. Like, you know, maybe like 12, 13 years I started. to make money, like 13 years into comedy. Like, so this idea that, and I was some, there was some of the. happiest times in my life. So the idea that we've created a culture. where people only find hope on the very high end, the, and it's such a status driven culture. and tech has made that, it has greatly enhanced.

that because it has showcased all of these things. to the world as, as universal goods. Like this is a universal good. That was not the way we grew up. We grew up with the idea that to be solidly middle class. and live in a community where you knew and respected people. and you raised children there, and those people respected you and you had, and you took pride in that community. and there were cool things in your community, and people would fight and tease each other.

It's like, are, you know, are things better than your thing? And da da da da da. And all the shows we watched kind of confirmed that. that was the American way of life. And the American life way of life is not like a huge, you know, like Miami based crypto ai casino. roulette wheel. But that's what it is now. And Palantir's telling you that they're going, listen, soft power ain't gonna work.

We've lost that. You know, a lot of the people that come. to this country and visit it, they go around, they go, what the hell's happening? So hard power is all that's left drones, you know, some, a couple of killer robots, some drones, some killer robots, and, and keep your mouth shut. and join the military. And we'll, we, we fight who we wanna fight.

Isn't it fun to say join the military? I mean, there's no reason we're, no one's even. explained why we're in the Iran war. They don't care. Paler goes, join the fucking military. What do you give a fuck? Shut up. And no one, no one. feels better today than they did 15 years ago. And yet all of this tack is here. So how are we gonna feel in 10 years? How are we gonna feel with predictive crime models? How, what's dating like in 10 years when you're just doing. AI analysis or you're just dating the chat bot?

Why even do, why even spend the time. to do the AI analysis on the di? Like what does all that look like? And I'm not, again, I'm not a Luddite, so I make my living on the internet. I'm very happy. I do. And there's no editors. and there's nobody who tells me what to say, but, and that's not, you know, that's new in history. So I'm, I I appreciate that and I appreciate technology. But you do have to wonder if, if there is a point. where you do cross a certain threshold, and we we're probably there already. I don't know. We're like, we no longer feel that any.

of this is making our life happier. Nobody feels happier. than they did in 2010. By the way, in the midst of a financial collapse, 2008, 2009, 2010, these, these were not easy times. It was like a financial crisis. It was a global banking crisis. and people were happier than they are.

Interesting. This is awkward. Now again, I have to earn a living from the show. So I don't think this negates the. episode I just did. Truly Tim Di show is. sponsored by Palantir. Palantir has America's best interest at heart. Its advanced weapons technologies will usher in the new,

will you get it?
