You know, it's not just... I don't think humanity will die out because people start having babies, but the places where people have stopped are the places where civilization is at its peak, where modernity is at its furthest limit. And I think that that says something about modernity and it says something about... the society we've become.

There is a very, very strong argument to be made, and this is actually one of the arguments in my book. There's a very strong argument to be made that our society, in increasingly losing its faith, And I'm not even gonna define that faith, just saying the faith in God that basically underpinned our society has gone insane.

That our society is a society of illness, where people can no longer see the spiritual realities that are right in front of their faces. We know that it was disgusting for that woman to sleep with 100 people, but it's very hard to put into words without becoming spiritual, without speaking spiritually, it's very hard to say what is wrong about it. It's her choice, why shouldn't she do it?

We don't understand why that's disgusting anymore. We know for a fact that it's disgusting for a man in a dress to go into a girl's locker room in an undress there, but we can't quite say why because we haven't got the spiritual diction to speak about it anymore. We actually don't know who we are anymore.

The guys who think they're smart, who think they're cynical and tough and see into the heart of things, talk as materialists. But materialism is completely unsupportable. When I say materialists, I mean people who think that we're nothing but stuff, that there's nothing to us, there's no soul stuff in us, it's just all physicality. That's an indefensible position.

It's a position that can't be argued. It's an unscientific position. It's not a position that anybody who knows anything about materialism The deeper levels of reality would support. And yet and yet that I think is the default position of intellectuals and artists in our country and in our in the West. And I think it's driven us insane. I think that there's a certain kind of insanity.

You know, I compare it to that. It's called the man in the gorilla suit test. There was a famous test done, I think, in the 90s. where they gave people a picture of people passing around a basketball, and they said, count how many times a guy in a white shirt passes the basketball. And people did that, and they missed the fact that a guy in a gorilla suit walked through the scene.
