  1. Do a deep dive on endocrine disruption. There’s a few doctors dying to get more of a platform but often brushed aside by the media for similar reasons to you

  2. This dude is awesome. I follow his stuff. He's a great, "lead from the Heart" counterpoint to your, "Lead with the head" Calvinist style. His "just have one kid sooner" thesis is also a perfect compliment to "elite groups have 10 test tube babies now!" lol. You should collaborate with him again.

  3. 33:57 Frederick Nietzsche wrote a book called “Why I am so clever” when he had like 12 fans and he blew up only after his nervous breakdown and death. 40 years later his magnum opus “Thus spoke Zarathustra” was given to German soldiers as a manlier alternative to the Bible if they weren’t religious. Hang in there.

  4. This aligns with my "Humans are grapes" theory. Grapes in very fertile soil put effort into their leaves and the grapes shrivel or are of poor quality. But on a rocky, salt-splashed, wind-swept rock in Southern France or Italy, the plant goes, "oh shit! Invest in the youth!" And the grapes are rich flavourful and sweet. See also: Behavioral sinks.

  5. 19:53 firefighters in Rome were an elite shark loaning class who would save you from a fire and charge you 400% interest for the favour.

  6. I was a green communist. But as I learned more and more and applied things objectively. It lead me here. If we had simply continued with Nuclear, climate change would be a far smaller threat and we'd be half way to fusion by now.

  7. 17:32 Rome had sewers eg the cloaca maxima a technology not again reinvented until the 19th century. Also Dubai has no sewers.

  8. Sometimes on the thumbnail Simone, you look like a storm trooper, but then zoomed in in the video it’s more like Galactic Empress and I feel that it’s highly appropriate.

  9.  @SimoneandMalcolm  Simone was not asexual but merely VERY specific in what she wanted in a partner. So specific and diligent that she sent out 30 emails a week to prospects such as yourself. Completely removing a billion year old drive will have consequences you don’t want. Perhaps it can be muted or reoriented. Destroyed would just create a race with even less incentive to breed as soon as they stopped being in your culture or turned in a different rational direction.

  10. 36:38 removing arousal would have externalities we can’t predict. You rightly have pointed out that people prone to addiction, such as yourself, often have this superhuman drive to succeed and therefore eliminating that gene may not be a net benefit for humanity. Regarding arousal and food, since these are such strong ancient pathways, it would be smarter to engineer them to adapt to modern and or novel (new planet etc) environments and have them tweaked by AI or genetic controls RATHER than eliminated. E.g. you are extremely aroused by those who are also great parents etc. I think the pathways originally worked this way and over evolutionary time (natural or selected) will again work. Eliminating these appetitive desires entirely, may unintentionally create motivationless losers.

  11.  @SimoneandMalcolm  From the Roman perspective, before Christianity became pro-natal it was. The Romans were strong, beauty loving and full of strength, their slaves were meek, hated the rich and powerful etc. it was a slave rebellion in values, Jesus was a convict etc. Crosses were offensive to Romans a very gross thing associated with slaves and criminals. The cross itself was like throwing soup on a painting for them. An Inversion of their conception of holiness which would have been a strong Jupiter (Zues) who conquers etc. rather than a God who dies a sad criminal death

  12. You should do an episode on Shame itself which had become a taboo emotion, especially on the left (except when applied to cancel someone).

  13. I have 3 kids of similar ages and can confirm how normal those things are. My favourite is playgrounds. My rules are: I don’t move(much), this is my time, do whatever you want and if you need comfort I will be here with open arms (or go to you if it’s an injury). Meanwhile other parents HOVERING over their kids like no tomorrow and scowling at me. Or looking around for the parent in shock that my kids can climb alone. It’s hilarious.
    13
  14. 8:49 you all have to read Nietzsche classic master slave morality dichotomy. The slave hates the strength and beauty of the master. Christianity started like this too. It hated pagan vitality of the Romans. It was their woke
    12
  15. One thing I think should be emphasized is that Upper and middle class parents have a kind of display behaviour around very difficult and over involved parenting styles like gentle parenting etc. also guilt themselves constantly over minor perceived trauma they’re inflicting on their kids. It’s subtly narcissistic. As someone who grew up to a fallen family (elite then very poor and dysfunctional). Lower class parents don’t sweat that stuff. My parents would smack me or have an outburst and then later everything would be fine and quite jolly in fact. But if a middle class mother yells at her kid, she may torture herself for weeks afterwards thinking she did trauma. There’s a distinct lack of a knowing one’s own frailty and humanity in this new approach. Parents must never react or have a stupid or angry moment but kids must “feel their feelings”. It’s backwards. This creates coddled kids that reinforce the trauma narrative. Bringing it all back, is it any wonder their having a shittier time? They’re spending all their energy trying to be perfect parents instead of enjoying their kids or trying to give them resilience and independence.

  16. 25:30 I completely agree that it's great that these types select out. But, I believe 9/10 childless people are childless unintentionally or by circmstamxe and pretend to be childfree to avoid cognitive dissonance. That is actually sad

  17. 16:00 This explains why no one knew how to bar fight when i went from working class to top teir University. 😂 I was actively shamed for it, while in my previous upbringing it was celebrated. I was like, "what? I won.", met with concerned PC face women. Still slept with all of them. Guess i was exotic.

  18. The Catholic situation is a mirror to the entire situation. Trad Caths and those who take it seriously and are in minority right now, will eventually comprise the whole body as the non-functional secularized central bureaucracy crumbles. We can only hope this group has a technophilic component or offshoot. Because it will still be sizeable after the collapse
    11
  19. I’d love to see you guys bring a traditional Catholic, Orthodox Jew or Amish in for an interview
    11
  20. Malcolm, you finally held the can close enough that I can see you are, in fact, getting sauced during these and I’m absolutely for it. Very in line with the Viking gene variant where alcohol acts as adderral would for a normal person which is present in a large portion of Northern Europeans (look it up, this is a fact that needs to be in your media)

  21. You guys heard of KaiserBauch? You should do a collab with him. He does deep dives on various nations demography.

  22. Something to consider on anti-IVF groups. Remember the theory you guys have that if a culture is good at preventing depression with religion, for example, and then the religion goes away, it’s people actually become MORE susceptible to depression because of the protective effect the religion had via the gene pool? Now, regarding endocrine disruptors and infertility. Groups such as trad caths who truly eschew the tech could become interesting repositories of genes that preserve natural fertility and testosterone levels. Kind of like how, in the previous example, a group that never lived under that religion, may have a higher genetic propensity to not be depressed. I use myself as an example. I have much higher than normal test levels that I’ve tested throughout my life. I’m assuming my grand father and father had even higher, both were criminals and unhinged but I don’t have this problem (I assume somewhat estrogenic effects on myself may have tempered that) and my wife and I have no issues with natural fertility. These endocrine pressures, therefore may simply move the normal distribution over time towards higher testosterone production and or insensitivity to estrogen signals. TL;DR: We may be making ourselves more masculine over time, especially if the endocrine disruptors are ever removed. Thoughts?

  23. This channel slowly morphing into effectatious self-help is a direction I approve of

  24. Can y'all start linking the studies?

  26. You guys should pull a Chris Williamson and release 5-10 minute hot-take segments along with 15-30 second super-controversial stories with every 30-60 minute episode. Could help drive traffic.

  27. The, "Scientists are technicians but philosophers are cool" thing is very true to this day in Italy. In fact, I think it's a bias that hurt ancient Rome and Greece and prevented them from industrializing. The basic premise is that mental logic is clean and pure while the physical world is for peasants/slaves.

  28. I was a libertarian with green and left leanings for a long time. But discovering Nuclear energy isnt the devil made me question other tenets and now I'm conservative.

  29. Malcom, Canada uses the closest thing to what you describe as an immigration policy. And it works fairly well. To the point where even our Conservative party must court the immigrant vote and everyone is for it. However, like when the Spanish brought all the gold to Europe, it creates inflation. We have a kind of professional-class inflation, with many immigrants driving taxis when they have 3 PHDs. The other issue with bringing in unlimited millionaires (which we essentially do) is it significantly inflates assets like real estate. Our average houses are 2-3 times a comparable American house. With huge consequences on fertility, among other things, including our own, ironic brain-drain to the USA.

  30. 58:30 This is hilarious. Ive been a lifelong Civ fan and the intro videos made me cry or feel awe even as a kid

  31. 32-33: a lot of the collapse of Islamic Golden age has 2 causes: Al-Ghazali shifted the philosophy away from Avicenna (his predecessor) and his focus on translating Greek works and focusing on rationality. All of Avicenna,s translations of Greek works came to Europe in the Middle Ages and kick-started our own renascence .Al-Ghazali pushed Islam back to religious focus and conservatism. It also coincided with the Mongol conquests. Arabia basically acted as an airbag for Europe from the Mongols. Baghdad had over a million inhabitants and the largest Universities and Libraries in the world. It also had an canal and aquifer system maintained and advanced since Babylonian times making it an agricultural paradise. To this day Baghdad and the surrounding lands (now desert) have not recovered. Islam turned conservative and insular which suited the status quo for the leaders and stagnated for 1,000 years. It’s a great lesson on what could await us post monoculture collapse.

  32. Actually, that was 99% of our history as Hunter-gatherers. We had no set home. I grew up in a very disorganized environment and bristle at authority and rules while doing very well running my own business. There are psychological types 100%

  33. 17:30 Hungary does this with middling results. Some say it's boosted fertility between 0.1-0.3. In the long run it may breed more elite Hungarians, but doesn't seem to move the TFR needle enough.

  34. Regarding chill parenting. I was the only millennial I knew with no rules. Starting from about 5,6 or 7 I’d leave in the morning and return in the evening. I grew up in Toronto on a main avenue. I’d ride my bike all day, vandalize sheds, climb TV antennas, sneak into a private all girls school dorms near by house, chase foxes in ravines, play ball hockey and ride 20km down to the beaches. It was the best childhood ever due to my parents “neglect”. Luckily they didn’t give a shit.

  35. Malcom, high IQ groups are weird now. But what happens when we have dick-on-head groups and "i want sharp teeth and horns" or real life furry groups? Will we be tolerant then? I mean, it could get WEIRD.

  36. You should do a dive on Catholicism. It’d get a ton of views as there’s tons of them AND there’s a super dramatic feud between the Central Bureaucracy and it’s progressive reforms and radical traditionalists with 6+ TFRs, Latin only masses and a secretive subculture.

  37. The approaching random strangers thing is hilarious! I did this on the subway at a similar age! And I come from a line of conmen and am now a salesperson lol. The specing for the wrong thing is sooo true. I spent my 20s like that and had to pivot very hard by the force of my delusions to be a family man!

  38. 6:45 theoretically a severely aged society may also increase the power of the working class absent ubiquitous AI

  39. Whenever I want to go full materialist, the problem of induction always gets me. Something* must make causation real or it’s just a hippie dream. *might not be God but isn’t something IN the physical universe that can be observed

  40. Brilliant analysis. This also explains low TFR. Most cultures around the world had strong cultural pressure to have kids. Now that that’s changed low TFR is the result as naturally high TFR inclination was not selected for.

  41. You could, in theory, genetically engineer your offspring not to have the fertility issue. The reason we have more and more fertility problems, especially for men, is that synthetic materials (e.g. plastics, non-stick pans, PVC pipes, receipts, pesticides, wax paper, scents, basically everything ) mimic estrogen in the body and are particularly damaging to fetuses, where it permanently impairs future testicle function of the grown man.

  42. I have 3 daughters. One is a cowboy who hates structure and needs to be self directed and independent. Punishment for her is a challenge, literally. Like she will laugh in your face and become blood enemies. She has a hard time in school but is incredibly artistically creative and independent. She is bossy too. Her sister, in contrast will feel deep shame over even a mild look of discontent from us. She is also very good at following instructions and loved by teachers. She has a hard time if we give her too much choice. My wife comes from military on both sides and I’m from a family of con artists , gypsies and yeomen farmers. Your division of Dionysian vs Apollonian psychological types and parenting styles is entirely accurate.

  43. Skilled immigrants aren’t a panacea. I live in Canada and it creates its own problems. High property prices, stiff competition for high skilled jobs and lack of workers for low skilled etc. even an illiterate and dirt poor immigrant base could be good, who doesn’t want $4 an hour manual labour or daycare?

  44. 50:00 Why not colonize Antarctica? Very little control there. It's the closest thing to outer space. And as a bonus it will green due to climate change and one day could be a continent country like USA.

  46. 2 questions: 1- aren’t all religions just formalized mysticism and wish-fulfilment? What’s separates mysticism from common religious frameworks? 2- concerning dysgenic mutants. Very soon viral genetic tinkering while alive may supersede the need for polygenic engineering. I.E you could self edit genes many times in life depending on your goals. Wouldn’t this eliminate the need for polygenic risk score selection and get rid of mutants?

  47. 31-32: totally agree with him here. Play up your weirdness, it’s almost like in dating markets where weird but unique ugly men can almost compete with Chads. The juxtaposition between your bubbly, nerdy charm and the dead seriousness and controversy of the topics is a delight.
    5
  48. This men only discussion reminds me of dogs. They’ve been bred to be more male since they’re more useful for work. But also a purely male society may simply have to reinvent women for all the jobs and child rearing that men aren’t as good at.
    5
  49. Malcom isn’t being disingenuous, he’s saying a good defence is offence. Have the kids yourselves or die off. I quite frankly think he doesn’t care what the future face of a country looks like as long as it’s life-affirming in the truest sense and technophilic/progress oriented.

  50. I agree with you logic but not the conclusion. To second the above comment, clearly homosexuality has some net evolutionary benefit over time either individually, I.e. their sisters have more kids with the gay gene and some men get it, OR, culturally. You assert their cultural influence is negative but that may not be true. When a society is growing and young their cultural influence increases creativity and new solutions to problems. When a society is decadent like ours, perhaps they hasten it’s fall and restarting, which may actually be their purpose in a group evolution sense.
