Malcolm: [00:00:00] different cultural groups. Sea treat did differently and it influences the way those cultures work. So if you look at immigrant groups that come from cultural groups, which see truth as something that should be determined by people who spent their entire lives studying it and then are certified by a central bureaucracy, like the Catholic cultural groups those cultural groups throughout UF history have created the dominant.

Malcolm: immigrant Criminal syndicates within the us. Whether you're talking about the Irish Mafia or the Italian mob, or the, the current hi Hispanic criminal groups, if you're talking about immigrant criminal groups, now I'm not talking about native born American criminal groups. If you look at other criminal groups that have come into the United States, but weren't from countries that strongly felt that way, they, they, they had a bit of presence like, The Yakuza, for example, or the triad, but they never really got that big.

Malcolm: And then you can be like, oh, but here's something that counters you. What about the Russian mob? [00:01:00] But the Russian mob came from an Orthodox church country and all orthodox religions also, like the Catholic cultural groups, believed that truth should be determined by people who spent their entire life studying it and then have been certified by essential bureaucracy

Simone: prepare for trouble

Malcolm: and make it

Simone: double. To protect the world from devastation,

Malcolm: unite all peoples within our nation to

Simone: announce the evils of truth and love.

Malcolm: To extend our reach to the stars above Jesse James

Simone: team, rocket blasts off at the speed of light

Malcolm: surrender. Now we're prepared to fight.

Malcolm: Meow. That's right. So, oh God. We had done that at in another, one of our things is like our personal motto because all of the, the, the pers of the song really extend to aspects of our philosophy, whether it is, extending our stories as a bob or seeing love as an intrinsically evil thing, which we have talked [00:02:00] about in other.

Malcolm: Episodes in which we'll certainly do a longer episode on at some point. I mean, is there anything more perverse in a marriage based on love? This, the only reason we feel it's cause our ancestors are felt it had more surviving offspring. And even if you take a religious perspective on this, the devil can use love to manipulate you.

Malcolm: Like what a better emotion to manipulate people. Right? Especially love for a human over love. God or Christ, right? That's, that's an evil thing. So the idea that even from a secular or a theological perspective from our cultural perspective, at least maybe not all cultural perspective, but from ours, love is typically at the very least, something to be suspicious of.

Malcolm: But the one point we haven't really gotten over here is the evils of truth. And so I want to talk and take this episode to talk about how we see truth. How does the diversity of perspectives on truth and Yeah. I, I think right now we're at a turning point [00:03:00] civilizationally for the concept of truth.

Malcolm: Mm. And it's a turning point that is very similar to when we've gone through in the past, and I think we can learn from the last time we went through this. So if you look at society right now, you look at all these conspiracy theories that people have that keep coming up true. People are like, oh no, conspiracy theories don't come up.

Malcolm: True. Yeah. Now, do you remember how insane it was that the idea that there's these like cabals of pedophile among like the wealthy elite in our society and now it's like. After Epstein, it's like, oh, oh. There, there was actually at least

Simone: one major. I mean, it was just one Malcolm. It's fine. It's fine.

Simone: Well, well you

Malcolm: think we would catch a lot of them? I mean, he messed up. I, I don't know. I would, I look at all of them. Do you think that like all of these people had developed like these pedophilic habits and like this was their only source? Like you, it's like, a cop's like, oh, well we arrested a meth dealer in town.

Malcolm: There's no more meth here. It's over. Congratulations.

Simone: The war on drug. Is this over?

Malcolm: Yeah. People clearly only could buy [00:04:00] meth from one person. This is Johnny, the meth dealer. There is. It's in his name. They, they, he can't, they can't be buying meth from other people. But I mean, like what I'm saying is we're, and then with Covid and the, the, the whole vaccine rollout, there was this thing in our society where two groups are forming, right?

Malcolm: And we talk about this in this academic cult that runs their culture right now, which is to say, when people are trying to determine what's true in our society, like the elite was in our society, they go, well look at, look at this priest cast, look at the consensus. What did they say? The academics, right?

Malcolm: Like that is what is true within our society. And when we've done episodes before on all the problems with academic research these days, replicability, crisis, everything like that where things keep showing up wrong. But anyway they say, look at that, right? So the first group says, look, truth should be determined by people who have spent their entire lives studying a subject because like everyone can't study everything these days, right?

Malcolm: And that these people should be certified by central bureaucracy, cuz obviously we need some way to know which of them have like been studying longer. You [00:05:00] can't just have somebody come outta nowhere and say like, I'm an expert in why. Right? And then the other group in our society says Ex, excuse me.

Malcolm: That central bureaucracy is highly prone to corruption. And from all of this data looks like it's already pretty corrupt and is now just trying to serve an ideology rather than an objective truth about reality. And therefore, truth should always be best determined by an individual. And a lot of people look at this and they're like, well, this looks like it's headed for a disaster.

Malcolm: Like society has never been through this before. And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. Like we as a worl
