Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the sheep get
shared podcast I'm your host Austin Creed my
friends. We're talking today about the sewer
pipe of Hollywood the sewer pipe of social media
and the overall celebration of sewage They might
be asking me why now why talk about this now?
Well, I'll give you a little context why number
one, this is a well -known fact from We're going
to explore Plato and Aristotle and what their
contrasting views were on the arts and entertainment
and how it affected society. There was a time
in America, especially when the arts and entertainment
promoted virtue. They said, hey, you should be
a good man, a good woman. You should do that.
You should do things that benefited both society
yourselves and promoted wholesomeness, not degeneracy.
garbage and overall degradation of man, woman,
God, culture, everything. All you have to do
is look at the sluts of Hollywood and how they
affect the women in this country, the men of
Hollywood and how they become so effeminate.
You really think everything's happening in a
vacuum? Because you're wrong if that's what you're
thinking. It's not happening in a vacuum. In
fact, It's been going on for a very long time
and it's never isolated just to Hollywood. And
to prove my point, what we're going to do is
we're going to look right now at Plato in his
book, The Republic and the Ion, as well as look
at Aristotle and what their views were about
the arts and entertainment and how they affected
society and what their views on it were. We'll
see if you agree or disagree. Let's explore it,
shall we? So overall according to my research
Plato was very cautious critical and restrictive
when it came to arts and entertainment He said
the following that says Plato was very skeptical
about the arts, especially poetry drama and music
now granted TV and Video games and everything
else didn't exist back in his day. So he was
limited to mostly those three mediums Now, music.
Let's focus on music for a second. You mean to
tell me that music is good for the culture today?
All of the ex -gang bangers who rub their crotch
and pass that off as music? The people who talk
about, I punched that guy, I pimp slapped this
hoe? This is what counts as culture? This is
what's good for kids? Especially kids in very
vulnerable situations? You really want me to
get down and dirty with it? I'll do it! Let's
go to this first point that Plato makes in his
books. Number one, imitation. Plato believed
that art is an imitation of reality, which itself
is only an imitation of the true forms, aka ideal
realities. So in other words, it paints a picture
that cannot actually be obtained. It is meant
to provoke thought, not provide you with a realistic
game plan. Hence, art is twice removed from the
truth, making it misleading and potentially harmful.
In other words, people are not good at distinguishing
truth or fantasy versus reality. In other words,
they're not good at saying this works ideally,
but in reality, it doesn't work. AKA, extreme
ideologies like communism. They don't work. All
you gotta do is look at them. follow the bouncing
skull to the bottom of the hill where the mountain
of skulls is. Moral influence was his second
argument. He thought he, meaning Plato, thought
that exposure to emotionally charged or immoral
art, such as tragedy or erotic poetry, could
corrupt the soul and weaken reason. You have
a great line. That is a great line. Corrupt the
soul and weaken reason in other words it circumnavigates
your rational thinking it allows you to instead
of thinking about something to feel Something
which is great in a small dose, but like many
other drugs It can become a an addiction and
be it can destroy It can go from being weakened
to destroyed it meaning your reason Supposedly
Plato did not want Homer in his ideal republic
and Hestioid. Okay. Manipulation of emotions.
Oh, this is going to hit a raw nerve for everybody
listening to the show. What did Plato say? Plato
said he worried that drama in music stirred the
irrational parts of the soul. Especially the
appetite and spirit. Distracting people from
the pursuit of truth and wisdom. Now, I think
that's a very great point. I want to pause right
there. Let's pause there. Let's repeat that in
case you missed it. Stirred the irrational parts
of the soul. In other words, again, and going
back to his previous point, it circumnavigates
and weakens your reasoning. Now art can be used
like any weapon for good or bad, but the problem
is art overwhelmingly destroys the society. Because
the filth, the degenerates, the lowlifes, they're
the ones who usually become artists. Not the
great people with great morals and have overall
things to add to society. All they choose to
do is tear down the society because it's easier
to destroy something than it is to build something.
Last point in Homer's arguments is censorship.
I'm going to strike a third rail here. Plato
advocated for strict regulation or censorship
of the arts to ensure that it promoted virtues
like courage, temperance, and justice. Isn't
that interesting? No, I personally do not. I
see the merit of it, but I don't agree fully
with what he's talking about. I don't think we
need censorship so much as we need a code of
ethics. We need to understand that there A, needs
to be a separation between the degeneracy and
the young people, number one. And number two,
we need a balanced portfolio, like in the stocks
and in crypto, you want a balanced portfolio.
You don't just invest everything in a one thing.
You have a balanced portfolio of risky, less
risky, and you need to have, and maybe somewhere
in the middle. But the problem is today there's
so much filth, sewage, degeneracy, and overall
anti -Americanism that's being pushed as the
norm. It's being pushed so regularly that people
don't even know what they're listening to. It's
normal for them to spit on the flag, to spit
on religion unless it's Islam, and to sit there
and say that America's no good. It's normal.
Let's go to Aristotle. We talked about Plato.
Let's go to Aristotle now. Aristotle was supposedly
appreciative, analytical, and balanced when it
came to his opinions about arts and entertainment.
Now, let's look. He was one of Plato's students.
He responded to the criticisms of his former
teacher. Aristotle famously argued that tragedy
serves as a positive social function. Okay, I
can agree with that. By allowing audiences to
experience catharsis. Okay, okay, catharsis.
I mean, catharsis, I get it. Catharsis is good.
The purging of emotions like pity and fear, thus
leading to emotional and psychological balance.
Okay. See, this is a good point. He's saying
that you can create with your sadness. You can
create with your fear and your pity using catharsis.
I agree with them, by the way. The problem is
it's not overwhelmingly used in the way it should
be used. Overwhelmingly, people get a taste of
the fame and the fortune and immediately they,
they, you see them go from being real to becoming
the very thing that they've despised before they
became famous. That's the problem. That's what
we see in Hollywood, that's what we see in the
entertainment industry, that's what we see in
the music industry. Let's go to his next point.
Imitation as natural and educational. He claimed,
he meaning Aristotle, claimed that humans naturally
learn through imitation. You could also say that
imitation is the highest form of flattery. And
thus the arts helped us understand the world
and then by extension, human behavior. Okay.
Okay. I could see that. Oh, now we're getting
in the meat potatoes. Moral and intellectual
values. Let's look here. While art can depict
vice or suffering, Aristotle believed that it
promoted virtue and deepened ethical understanding.
See, I would like to believe that. Truly, I would.
But when I see around the music industry of,
you know how many famous whores there are? I
have no other word! They call it bops now, can
you believe this? You're not a whore, you're
a bop. In other words, you expose your body on
the internet for money, you have sex with strangers
for money, and I'm supposed to sit here and pretend
that you're not a whore? You are! Now, I don't
care what you do one way or the other. My gripe
with the situation is your affect on society.
For example, there were times not long ago when
feminists pushed women saying, hey, be a NASA
scientist. Be a mathematician. Be something of
value to society by using your brain, not using
your body. Now we've descended back to the very
thing that they, in my opinion, were fighting
against. But not one word. out of the feminist
camp. Not one word from the liberal, big mouth
women who attack guys like me, Austin Creed,
instead of attacking the radical Muslims in the
Middle East who rape eight -year -old girls.
They don't have nothing to say about the rape
and destruction of ISIS. They have nothing to
say about Hamas. They have nothing to say about
Al Qaeda. And they have everything to say about
guys like us, guys like Andrew Tate, guys like
Rolo Tommasi, guys like Coach Greg Adams, and
guys like me. They'd rather attack guys like
us than attack the real monsters on the planet,
in my opinion, and that's what I see. Correct
me if I'm wrong. Talking about censorship, for
all I know, I'm going to get censored for telling
you the truth, which I probably will, by the
way. Plato distrusted art versus Aristotle supported
it. Plato believed that the function of art was
emotionally manipulation and harm. that it needed
to be controlled. You know, I could see both
sides of the aisle on this, truthfully. I'm sure
you can, too. The interesting part about art
is it's a powerful medium. A lot of people are
influenced by it, which is why it's overwhelmingly
saturated with left -wing commie types and why
conservatives or libertarians or middle -of -the
-roaders are not welcome. Because they hold the
power over the minds of the young they mold the
minds of the young into becoming Something they
don't even need rational reason for it because
they've been programmed to believe a certain
way Without reason it's based on feelings. That's
why people like Michael Savage a great great
broadcaster Talks about liberalism being a mental
disorder Liberalism is not what it once was in
the same way that a lot of times Republicanism
is not what it once was. People are moving more
and more to the left. And the problem is you
and I, my friends, we might know, we might see
the bouncing ball. We might see what's happening,
but the unfortunate reality is we are seeing
something that we really can't do much about.
I don't have power. You think I'm a representative
in Congress. I'm not a state senator. I don't
have power. I have a microphone, but I don't
got power. You're probably in the same boat as
me. You don't have power. You might see the bouncing
ball, but you're not, you don't have the deep
pockets that the money traders in the temple
have. You don't have the money to bribe the senators
to donate to their campaigns. And so you don't
get heard. Your voice is not relevant. to the
people in power, which is why the arts are so
influential and nobody's saying anything about
it. Nobody's saying anything that, hey, hold
on a second. This is degrading male and female
relationships. Wait, stop, hold on a second.
You're getting out of control. Hey, wait a second.
Maybe we shouldn't push gay marriage. Hey, wait,
hold on a second. Maybe we shouldn't be pushing
that if you're a hoe, you get ahead in life.
Hey, maybe we shouldn't preach that if you gangbang
as a man, you're a tough guy. Hey, maybe we shouldn't
be pushing this. But guess what? They are. In
fact, they're pushing it everywhere that you
look. They control everything that you read,
everything that you hear, everything that you
see. And who is they? The big corporations that...
have all the ad revenue that you that you when
you go on google when you go on apple when you
go on netflix you see it everywhere that you
go and unfortunately it's not pushing what is
good for society when you go on tiktok you know
one of the things i can't stand tiktok personally
i just can't do it all i see are a bunch of degenerates
or people who are nothing else to care about
on the planet than some idiotic bull crap. Look,
maybe I'm too cynical for this world, my friends.
Maybe I'll drag you down. Do I drag you down?
You see, this is why I have a small group of
very close friends, and overwhelmingly, I can't
get close to people because I can't stand the
idiocy. I have no tolerance for it. I prefer
to be alone, frankly. I'm sick and tired. of
the schmucks around me acting like guppies in
a fish tank. It's painful for me to watch. Of
course, what are they going to do? Listen to
me? Most people don't want to listen to me. They
don't want to listen to you. They want to listen
to what they like to hear. They don't want to
listen to the things that make them feel good.
They don't care about what's right. They don't
care about what's good for their children's children
if they even think about having them. They don't
care about that stuff. That's old. That's down
the road. They don't care about none of that.
That's grown up stuff. I just want to have fun.
Oh. Oh, you want to have fun. Oh, OK. Gentlemen,
this is why we see the culture we're living in
today. It didn't happen overnight. It's been
happening since the 60s, the free love movement.
It's been going on for a long time. You know,
people oftentimes say that communists are the
boogeymen of society, that, oh, it's like the
McCarthyism is here again. You know, you could
say that the boogeymen, but here's the thing.
There was a man named Barry Goldwater. You may
not know who he was. He's a man from the days
gone by. There's a man named Barry Goldwater
who said, I would remind you that extremism in
the defense of liberty is no vice. And I'd like
to remind you also. The moderation in the pursuit
of justice is no virtue. Powerful words, ones
that most people might not even understand. Extremism
in the defense of liberty is no vice. And moderation
in the pursuit of justice is no virtue. How come
we don't hear people say I'm politics anymore?
All I hear about now is, oh, AOC's got nice boobs.
Oh yeah, the guy Bernie Sanders, he seems like
a nice guy. That's all I hear about now. Overwhelmingly
is... I keep... I don't understand it. I feel
like I'm living in a parallel universe. Does
anybody else ever feel that? That you're living
in like a nightmare? I sometimes feel like I'm
living in a nightmare. I look back to when I
was younger. Things were bad, but they weren't
as bad as they are now. You don't have people
openly, openly, nakedly, ball -lying about Trump
and about his agenda. You don't have people like
Candace Owens turning their back and becoming
a bad actor in the conservative movement, in
my opinion, to probably get back at Ben Shapiro.
You don't have these, these things weren't happening,
but now they are. You don't have these... People
do care more about ms -13 gang members than about
the president of the United States Yes, that's
actually happening right now But the problem
is people don't care about what they going back
to what Plato said. It's not about It's not weakening
your reasoning It's about appealing to your sense
of emotion not to your sense of logic. That's
the whole game plan They want to appeal to your
emotions so you no longer care about the facts
you care about how it makes you feel That's the
whole goal That's why they're able to get away
with it because overwhelmingly women are still
the majority in America ever since the end of
the two world wars America is still overwhelmingly
majority female and Women are overwhelmingly
more emotional when they are logical Why do you
think we're in the world we're living in why
do you think we're going towards socialism? Do
I need to spell it out for you? It's not complicated.
But what people don't realize is that socialism
is communism without a gun. Just wait for when
the real communists with guns show up. Then we'll
have the killing fields like in Cambodia. This
is why the filth of Hollywood is so dangerous.
Because it seems innocent. It seems like it's
just a bunch of jesters. funny schmucks laughing
at a tonight show, or laughing at a scene in
a movie, or turning away from it because you're
thinking, oh, you know what? That was a little
distasteful. I'm gonna look away. No, it's not
innocent. It's not in a vacuum. It's affecting
every part of our lives. It's seeped into the
minds of the young who now treat it as if it
is normal and it is a fact that it is not. But
unfortunately, they care more about - what makes
them feel liberated, what makes them feel good
and accepted than what's actually good for themselves
and for the culture and for their own future.
They don't care about that. They don't care about
history and repeating it. You see levels of racism.
You see that Muslims are being overwhelmingly
embraced by these communist scumbags, all the
while knowing that they're the first ones that'll
be thrown down a well, like their gay friends
are being thrown off of roofs in Iraq and Afghanistan
right now. they don't know that they don't care
about it if they did they they talk about it
but they don't they're ignorant or they're liars
choose your take your pick my friends i know
it can seem like i'm all over the place i'm aware
of that but everything is interlocking everything
is a different track all heading to the same
station and i'm trying to get you to understand
that because in my head Didn't make sense until
I started connecting all these dots that we talked
about on the show It all seemed like everybody
was kind of on their own war path until you realize
they're all heading towards the same place Which
is overthrowing the current regime what America
was built on Europe's gone Europe's pretty much
gone by the wayside. We can't we can't go to
town on them for help We need to fight the boogeyman
we need to fight These frauds with truth Raw
truth because it's like medicine good medicine
tastes lousy, but it works sugar -coated candy
medicine Tastes really good, but it's not a full
dose. It doesn't really do much to actually fight
the infection We need to replace the sugar coating
with their strong Pharmacy grade medication for
the mind of America My friends, let me know what
you think about the sewer pipe of Hollywood and
how it affects your daily life, what you think
about Plato and Aristotle. I want to hear all
of it. My friends, take care of yourselves and
let me know. This is a group discussion. I want
to hear about it. Take care. I'm out. Peace.
