When you dress up in sick and unpleasant costumes.

Who was the comedian who got nailed for teaching his dog to do the hippie sleuth? Oh, I'm involved in that story.

Which you are now an honorary member of, by the way.

It was his girlfriend's dog. It was his girlfriend's dog. And he didn't like it. And he shouldn't have because it was a pug. Yes.

Well, it's like a hug is a testament to Hitler.

You know, I mean, seriously.

No, it's important to highlight these sorts of things, though, because you want to see where you're, just like I said, it took me like six months to trust you on X. You want to see, it's not like only those people are susceptible to this like mass hysteria. You got to watch and see where you're susceptible. And if you have been susceptible in some manner, you should admit it.

Well, you know, at one point during the pandemic, COVID epidemic, the so-called COVID epidemic, I got vaccinated twice. Now, in my defense, I was very ill at the time and wasn't really able to think. But I did get vaccinated. But I also said at the end of one podcast, and I would say in some ways, despite some inner prompting, that people should just get the damn vaccine.

And my thinking at the time was, seriously, I was like, I'll take the shots. Here's the deal. I'll take the shots. You leave me the hell alone. And then I found out instantly that the deal was you take the shots and then you take six more and forget about being left alone. And that was the end of that as far as I was concerned. But still, I made a mistake. You know, I made a mistake.

And I would say... It was very difficult for me at that point to believe that the pharmaceutical companies had become so corrupt that you couldn't trust their vaccine policy. You know, it was easier to think that it was the more conspiratorially minded, you know, alt-right types that were pushing this doctrine.

Well, it's part of group identity, really. Like, I mean, it's necessary for human beings to cooperate, to reach consensus, That's almost universal on everything rapidly, right? Because otherwise we can't cooperate.

The net has enabled the reputation-savaging psychopath. So, you know, the female pattern of bullying, because there's a female pattern of antisocial personality, the female version isn't violence. The female version is reputation-savaging. And men can also partake in reputation savaging. If they do that in real life, they get into a fight. Women don't because women won't fight physically.

But men will. But online, there's no consequences to reputation savaging whatsoever. In fact, it's probably amplified by the social media companies and the algorithms. And so I think... Not only can the reputation savages aggregate, they can do so anonymously. They can levy accusations without any consequences whatsoever.

And the consequences of that are rapid and devastating, partly because it's easy to write someone off.

I think it's mobilized, too. There are definitely aggregations of activists who are weaponizing the professional colleges, for example.

You know what I mean? So, you know, in the story of the Tower of Babel is a very interesting story in this regard. So what happens in the opening chapters of Genesis is you have an account of the two ways that society collapsed. So it's propelled by the sin of Cain and he becomes vengeful and bitter because his offerings to God are rejected.

So he's a bitter and resentful individual who isn't offering his best. And he becomes murderous and his descendants become genocidal. Okay, so that's the individual pathology, the disintegration of the descendants of that pathological individual, and then you have the flood. And so the flood is a descent into utter chaos, right?

But then you have the Tower of Babel, and the Tower of Babel is equally catastrophic, but opposite. It's the imposition of the all-seeing eye of Sauron, or the Panopticon, right? And it's literally built by engineers, because the people who build the Tower of Babel in the biblical accounts are the descendants of the people who build cities and machines, right?

So they're aiming at the wrong goal, right? And they build this... massive machine that's dedicated to the wrong ideal. And the immediate consequence of that is that words lose their meaning and everyone is at odds with one another. And we've got this problem, right? We've built this new power of Babel, which is this interconnected world, which is biologically revolutionary, right?

What happens when everyone's immediately connected? Well, maybe bad ideas spread 50 times faster than good ideas. Like we have no idea, right? Maybe the psychopaths are unleashed. And maybe there's an infinite possibility to educate everyone. Like there's a lot of things on the table, but we have no idea what we're doing. And it's certainly the case that
