Key Points of Wisdom
- [00:21:20] "At 46 degrees Celsius, the aggressor is roasted alive. The wild bees have spent millions of years living with the enemy. That's why they alone have developed this extraordinary survival strategy." (On adaptation and survival)
- [00:28:35] "MTV back then, was cancer. I'm just saying. This would never, not never in a million years would they give this kind of advice to people now." (Reflecting on cultural shifts)
- [00:33:34] "What the 90s are going to see is a massive rise of Satanism. People are going to come out of the shadows and reveal themselves as thoroughgoing satanists, because what we're seeing now is the death struggle between the judeo-christian idea and archetype, and the more ancient satanic archetype." (On cultural and ideological change)
- [01:19:03] "Ohh it's. Safer for kids methorphan." (On questionable product safety and advertising)
- [01:25:33] "It's like mostly commercials. It's like 1/2 hour of commercials. And then they drag in these, these, these poor women. Make a spectacle of their problem and then if they're lucky, if they sound sad enough when the audience claps hard enough, they get a wheelchair." (On exploitation in entertainment)
- [02:04:44] "I would try like look it I guess if. Like I would make sure you have enough to to survive, right? For like a while. And as I've said before, it doesn't have to be anything fancy. It just has to be enough calories to be alive for a year or whatever, right?" (On prepping and survival)
- [02:43:02] "So your money will always be worth less. In any amount of time in the future. Because inflation is always happening, and right now it's happening at a faster pace than it's happened since, like the 70s, when we almost had pretty much hyperinflation." (On inflation and financial planning)
