.8 playback speed. Trust

yes.
mvp
thank you
You can be a social media staple if you created a channel that simply gives the best advice about what speed to watch videos
I love Marc but I disagree somewhat with his conclusion. Wokeism is an odd combination of ancestor guilt (not so much worship) and anti-hierarchical beliefs. They want to destroy traditional hierarchies and impose new ones based on identity and immutable characteristics. It is an odd mix of a slave mentality wanting to be a new master mentality.
Great observation
Or, it’s just folks who prefer we be less prejudiced.
You’ve given away the game here. “Wokeism” does not represent or necessarily have anything to do with blackness or black people. BUT it does to people like yourself. Right away you explain it as “slave mentality” because to you woke just means black and you just know that you hate that. Lol. It’s hilarious how you tried to sound well informed whilst writing nonsense.
It’s for those who enjoy all the freedoms and benefits of a great society but also want victim status. It’s no coincidence that educated white women make up a large portion of the woke mob. Which is ironic when you consider that they are in fact, the most privileged class in Western societies.
Facts idk what the dude in the video was talking about. Wokeism is the consequence of gen x and the millennials refusing to take the next step in syncretizing American culture. We can debate who's actually to blame, but at end of the day the people who were in their 20s - 40s during the 1980s - 2000s decided to otherize the people outside their group which created the breeding ground for hysteria. Look at how black community treat LGBT people or the great replacement theory gaining traction through the 1990s - 2010s, or even how people cant look past the identity politics to see that the police issue has claimed Innocent victims of all ethnicities. BLM was hijacked 2 years after it's inception the identity politics is just a distraction to keep people divided
I always viewed wokeism as a product of 2 things:
1. an aimless young generation that's envious of previous ones who had their own heroic moments (i.e. triumph against the nazis, abolishing slavery);
2. An increasingly disfunctional upper education system fixated on bringing in as much money as possible, that take advantage of young people's need to find a worthy cause in life, viewing these kids as customers instead of mentoring them and therefore serving their need to find or make up evil in this world instead of saying "you're wrong about this or that", ending up with an incredibly entitled bunch of people who enter the workforce hardwired to look for -isms and -phobias in EVERYTHING.
It's not just the universities that have taken advantage of the younger generation. Corporations and older generations have too.
Lex is the podcast goat
He’s right. Localism has become more part of our society than before and ancestor worship while a problem has also been a red herring. Consider the statues that they took down. Many of them were on the good side of history. It wasn’t about justice it was about destroying your ancestors.
Lex: Here's more coffee.
Super interesting!
If you want to know how Indo-Europeans lived..look at India, we still still live like that but a lot less violent. However, we absolutely treat badly of all "others" ethnicities within India..
The ancient hierarchy he described sounds a lot like Japanese Shogun hierarchy.
It also dwscribes the ancient zulu society
I love when elitists explain the human condition to us. This is a guy who publicly supported affordable housing right until it was near his house. At which point he sued to prevent the project moving forward.
What’s your point?
What does this have to do with learning history 🤣 would you rather learn history from historians that have the same political ideology as you? 🤣
They're also humans. Why would they be disqualified to talk about the human condition?
It’s amazing how people have no idea how this means anything
@@jordanlemichael Enlighten us.
I had to rewatch this video at a lower speed.
He says and repeats "no individualism" alongside saying they followed Nietzsche's master morality, of which individualism is a cornerstone (which even the slide flashed on screen mentions). There's something to what he's saying in the rest of this clip, but he needs to resolve this incoherence.
That clip was the most shocking piece of information I got this week. Thanks Lex!
Nature was the source of life for the early peoples and not just "what's going to kill you".
Love that summary in nine minutes. 😅
Jesus, thank You for showing us The Way of Live and Life!
Interesting how Marc doesn't address the "master slave" mentality and worship of tribal leaders with Big Tech, and how he and his ilk position themselves socially.
8:38 in the US we let kids decide everything
8:47 in the US we also let old people decide everything.
Idiots.
It’s always great to have direct evidence that billionaires have the rhetorical skills of a stoned college freshman and it’s certainly not that that got them to where they are
It will be interesting, as the Oligarchy's stealing/corruption get more blatant in the coming year, who will defend them (Lex?) vs. call them out 🤔
@@chartreusewinds I'm not so sure that that's not what got them to where they are. In a world of dipshits, confidence can take a dipshit pretty far.
Direct quote was “we have a little of that too”
But for some reason we let kids decide everything.
Not sure your clarification helps any.
“A bunch of 80 year olds running every thing” hmm
Ancestor and nature worship
Hold on the elders will always be the decision makers and the young will always be the Trendsetters thats literally the basis of a family unit
A pain to listen
So if sa wasnt colonised the zulus would have evolved into a roman esque society? Because he just described the Zulu society word for word down to the religion
dude speaks way too fast for me
😂 facts
I had to skip back and play it again a couple times 😂
In person = YT 2x in real life
I like the convo but Wokeism = ancestral worship? his explanation is like saying there’s a relationship between lakes and rain. Well yeah they both involve an element. But are they the same? No.
Lex looks slightly unhappy that this is being explained with such speed and depth of knowledge.
I don't think he realizes it but tech through AI and robotics is enabling Communism 😂 it will be technically achievable
PS: you should speak French more often, Lex 😉
Indi europeans are around modern day Turkey/Iran
Ok identity politics is not even close to the idea of ancestor veneration
This guy is remarkably smart
1Feb25:
Some of what this guest says/asserts is entirely wrong , inaccurate , in my opinion .
He Almost, Almost said Aryan 😂 he knew his audience a little late but better late than never 🤷♂️😂
Smart guest but impossible to listen to. Guys voice goes through you like a knife.
Cocain hell of a deug
This dude looks like Michael Kenton’s stunt double.
🙄
Is giving a fetus equal protection under law progressive too? 7:14
If wokeism is ancestor worship isn't on the exact flip side of that people who want to deport all migrants the exact same thing. Its ancestor worship based on the lineage of where you were born and how long your ancestors have lived in one place.
These AI thumbnails are garbage and low efforts. Lex don't use them.
Er-and-um-uh
Jew Fridman
Considering he's a billionaire he is the worst speaker I've heard on this podcast.
Seems like total bullshit to me. You should instead interview guests who have read ancient texts
Billionaire enjoys fictional novels..
What utter tosh.This is just more historical revisionism. If it wasn't for the translation movement in the 12th century by the Muslims most Greek works would of been lost to the West as it was for centuries prior. The Muslims developed and advanced upon previous civilisations prior including Greek\indian\chinese\african etc. And became the knowledge power house of the world dominating in every field. This brought about the beginnings of modernity and became the basis and foundation of European enlightenment from late 13th century onwards. For sakes of brevity my statement is very broad and generalised. Dismissing the Muslim contribution to world by West shows its insecurity and sincerity in its identity.
You, sir, have too much knowledgeable for your incredible lack of understanding
yes, amazing. On the other hand.... what did go wrong?
If this is true then please explain why every Muslim country lives in severe poverty and has yet to establish a civilized modern society? (not including the mega rich oil countries that are strongly influenced by the west and are only wealthy because of their oil) i recognize that there are many flaws with modern western society but many Muslim countries still have major population areas that live in mud and straw huts and don’t have running, clean water or electricity. For the record i dont wish to insult or belittle Muslims but at some point in time they were left behind by more technologically advanced societies like the west and Asia.
What are you talking about, the Muslims just raided and pillaged from the Christians. If it wasn’t for the Muslims western civilization would have thrived far sooner than it did.
*does 1% the work then demands 99% the credit.*

Ahhh you know it’s very annoying when people talk that fast. Please just slow it down a bit! Love the info but come on man
In the settings just slow it down to .75 speed
That was the dirtiest mutton chops I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 broooo liked his chin smooth af and
