Key Points of Wisdom
- [00:23:32] “The happiest time she's ever had is when she's in love. Now she's going to go a little further into this because just by looking at her, I'm like, well, OK, well, how many times have you been in love real? You're at least 30. And uh, you're still on Tinder?”
- [00:51:02] “But it's easier to understand. You live in a society that has been destroyed by the multiculturalism. It's been deracinated. It's been atomized. And you still have that instinct, that instinctual high trust. That in past generations would have been a benefit. But now it's a liability.”

- [02:33:08] “Love is a choice, not a feeling. The modern conception of love is centered around immediate sexual and economic gratification, right? You know, it's dopamine.”
