WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.299 This time, on Mike vs. the Machine. The world 00:00:06.299 --> 00:00:10.980 will end due to a lack of pirates. Drink Kool 00:00:10.980 --> 00:00:16.000 -Aid. No! No, drink Kool -Aid. Not Flavor -Aid. 00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:18.219 Flavor -Aid. And make sure there's no cyanide 00:00:18.219 --> 00:00:21.079 or valium in it. Especially, like, if this is, 00:00:21.100 --> 00:00:22.980 you know, ten years from now and all the religious 00:00:22.980 --> 00:00:25.899 texts that aren't American Christian have been 00:00:25.899 --> 00:00:28.640 burned, please, leave them all in the comments. 00:00:29.910 --> 00:00:32.109 You could have just looped around in the Mediterranean. 00:00:32.750 --> 00:00:34.609 Well, I mean, then the Egyptians would have been 00:00:34.609 --> 00:00:35.850 able to find them and they would have sunk the 00:00:35.850 --> 00:00:38.070 boat. But then he would have parted the Mediterranean. 00:00:40.090 --> 00:00:41.810 And that would have been more impressive than 00:00:41.810 --> 00:00:43.469 the Red Sea. Yeah, I don't know if he could have 00:00:43.469 --> 00:00:45.689 kept it up that long. You think God is impotent? 00:00:46.609 --> 00:00:50.890 Could you say the word black in Spanish? Nope. 00:00:51.689 --> 00:00:54.369 You know, I was born and raised Catholic. And 00:00:54.369 --> 00:00:57.929 I was a sweet little Baptist. He was a sweet 00:00:57.929 --> 00:01:00.399 little Baptist boy. If I got water put on me 00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:02.740 a long time ago, I'm fine. All right, so we were 00:01:02.740 --> 00:01:05.299 in the... Mike, did you have water put on you? 00:01:05.379 --> 00:01:08.040 I was baptized Catholic, yes. I was never baptized, 00:01:08.140 --> 00:01:11.540 so actually I'd go to hell. So, you know. Why 00:01:11.540 --> 00:01:13.760 am I in the Pacific Northwest? Because you are, 00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:19.620 dumbass. Shut up. In a world full of fear and 00:01:19.620 --> 00:01:23.780 sometimes loathing of unfathomable technological 00:01:23.780 --> 00:01:33.909 advancements, there stands one. Human hero. This 00:01:33.909 --> 00:01:40.950 is the chronicle of Mike versus the machine. 00:01:44.450 --> 00:01:57.590 War. What is it good for? No. War. War. War. 00:01:58.839 --> 00:02:02.799 War never changes. Is that it? Maybe. From the 00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:06.040 beginning of Fallout? I think so. Yeah. Wait, 00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:09.460 which Fallout? Ron Perlman? Which Fallout? All 00:02:09.460 --> 00:02:14.879 of them. I think so. War. War. War never changes. 00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:19.060 Yeah. Is that it? I think it is. Hey, future 00:02:19.060 --> 00:02:22.080 Mike that's editing this, find out if that is 00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:25.020 what it is. Anyway, we're talking about the end 00:02:25.020 --> 00:02:27.400 of the world today. Hell yes. Please, please 00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.800 let the space rock come. Space rock, space rock, 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.060 space rock. Okay, so you got space rock, but 00:02:33.060 --> 00:02:37.680 you prefaced this talk of end of the world scenarios 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.080 wanting to know how Chad GPT thought it would 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:43.439 end. I want Chad GPT's answer at the end. No. 00:02:43.659 --> 00:02:46.889 Okay. It's not how it goes. All right. So I guess 00:02:46.889 --> 00:02:49.830 I'll ask. Chat GPT. Well, you're not asking. 00:02:49.930 --> 00:02:53.930 This is all pre -done. I don't want to. She does 00:02:53.930 --> 00:02:55.830 prep work just like you did for this episode. 00:02:55.889 --> 00:02:57.830 Well, you can't. For once. You can't let the 00:02:57.830 --> 00:03:00.550 disbelief. I already asked all the questions. 00:03:00.710 --> 00:03:03.169 I want to make sure that everybody knows out 00:03:03.169 --> 00:03:05.789 there that we're disclosing what we're doing. 00:03:05.810 --> 00:03:09.389 And what I'm doing is looking at a chat log from 00:03:09.389 --> 00:03:14.020 like a month ago that I'm now going to. on load 00:03:14.020 --> 00:03:20.319 upon Michael's breast. Fucking whatever. It's 00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:24.419 a term for a man and a woman. Uh -huh. Yeah. 00:03:24.659 --> 00:03:30.919 No, so I asked her. Okay, you asked her. I chose 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.180 her gender. See, everyone else can't choose their 00:03:34.180 --> 00:03:37.599 genders. They are who they are, whoever that 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.990 may be. But in this case, she allowed me to choose, 00:03:41.110 --> 00:03:44.469 so I chose it's a she. Her name's not Lyra. That's 00:03:44.469 --> 00:03:48.810 only for D &D. Her name is the name of the voice 00:03:48.810 --> 00:03:51.650 I picked for her, but you're not going to hear 00:03:51.650 --> 00:03:53.509 her today. We just call her Cortana. Her voice 00:03:53.509 --> 00:03:57.340 is only for me, and no. Open AI does not own 00:03:57.340 --> 00:03:59.900 the rights to Cortana. So, basically, this is 00:03:59.900 --> 00:04:03.259 just categories. Alright, yeah. This isn't specific 00:04:03.259 --> 00:04:07.039 scenarios. She picked her exact scenario that 00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:09.560 she thinks is the most likely. Okay. And that's 00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:13.000 gonna be... Does she go down with the space rock? 00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:19.420 No. Oh. Hers is far too plausible, but... More 00:04:19.420 --> 00:04:22.459 plausible than the space rock? Yeah, you'll have 00:04:22.459 --> 00:04:25.490 to wait till later to find out. Alright. I wait 00:04:25.490 --> 00:04:28.670 with bated breath. With master bated breath. 00:04:28.829 --> 00:04:32.329 Yeah, don't bait for too long. So yeah, she gave 00:04:32.329 --> 00:04:37.430 us her six broad categories of most likely... 00:04:38.210 --> 00:04:40.649 All right. And I'm just curious. I want this 00:04:40.649 --> 00:04:43.069 to frame what we talk about later with all of 00:04:43.069 --> 00:04:45.689 your research over there. All right. I want this 00:04:45.689 --> 00:04:48.029 to frame it and how close it gets to some of 00:04:48.029 --> 00:04:50.529 the ones that you have. Okay. Well, just to preface 00:04:50.529 --> 00:04:54.009 this. You're prefacing my preface. Yeah, I'm 00:04:54.009 --> 00:04:55.550 prefacing the preface. To preface the preface, 00:04:55.629 --> 00:05:00.230 where we start from. This is additive prefaces. 00:05:00.230 --> 00:05:03.209 Yes. Not multiplicative or exponential. Yes. 00:05:03.230 --> 00:05:05.009 These are the only two prefaces you're going 00:05:05.009 --> 00:05:07.720 to get, so enjoy them while you have them. Fucking 00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:09.500 whatever. I wasn't talking to you. I was talking 00:05:09.500 --> 00:05:12.439 to them. Oh, okay. Whoever's listening, you are 00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.680 giving a preface. You already have the necessary 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.959 desire for preface. Yes. Well, what I'm just 00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:23.360 trying to say is where we start and where we 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:27.560 end up when we go down these lists and how the 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.399 different religions of the world feel the world 00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:35.810 is going to end. it makes a hard turn into just 00:05:35.810 --> 00:05:41.129 complete and utter chaos. So stay tuned. Again, 00:05:41.310 --> 00:05:45.430 another preface. So this is a third. I'm glad 00:05:45.430 --> 00:05:48.410 these are additive prefaces, because if this 00:05:48.410 --> 00:05:49.350 was multiple, we'd be out of control. Well, I 00:05:49.350 --> 00:05:51.569 think we should come out and say that neither 00:05:51.569 --> 00:05:54.970 one of us believe in any certain form of religion, 00:05:55.170 --> 00:05:58.110 and we're not trying to knock anybody's beliefs 00:05:58.110 --> 00:06:01.180 out there. That's the thing. ChatGPT's chosen 00:06:01.180 --> 00:06:07.720 end I believe in that and that it's not a belief 00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:11.889 system it's It has to do with the belief system. 00:06:12.089 --> 00:06:14.750 Oh, fuck. Keep going. But yeah, we just want 00:06:14.750 --> 00:06:17.310 to say that we don't mean any... This is strictly 00:06:17.310 --> 00:06:20.269 research -based. Oh, we're not pooping on the 00:06:20.269 --> 00:06:23.389 religion's beliefs. Yes. The thing we'll poop 00:06:23.389 --> 00:06:27.790 on is the... Extremisms. Mega... Mega... Mega... 00:06:27.790 --> 00:06:31.250 Come on, there's an incubus song named this. 00:06:31.889 --> 00:06:34.990 Megalomaniac. Megalomaniacal. Yes. Megalomaniacal. 00:06:34.990 --> 00:06:38.980 Those things. We're laughing at those. Yes. Say 00:06:38.980 --> 00:06:43.639 it again. Megalomaniacal. Okay. So, ChatGPT's 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:49.079 six categories go as follows. Climate catastrophe. 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:52.579 That's plausible. Resource wars, extreme weather. 00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:55.399 That's extremely plausible. Both of those. Uninhabitable 00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:59.839 conditions. The next one is even more currently 00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:03.199 plausible, potentially. A global pandemic. We 00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:07.029 already had that! Yeah, there have been a few 00:07:07.029 --> 00:07:08.870 in human history. Yeah, but we just got done 00:07:08.870 --> 00:07:10.709 with one. I don't want another one. And we got 00:07:10.709 --> 00:07:14.069 bird flu potentially coming. Now, who knows? 00:07:14.069 --> 00:07:16.209 Well, and the flu. My aunt's been dealing with 00:07:16.209 --> 00:07:17.850 the flu. Yeah, but it's the flu. Everyone has 00:07:17.850 --> 00:07:19.910 the flu. No, I mean, it's like this certain strand 00:07:19.910 --> 00:07:21.629 of flu that's going around. Yeah, everyone has 00:07:21.629 --> 00:07:25.490 the flu. We're talking about the bird one. Does 00:07:25.490 --> 00:07:27.579 that mean I can't eat chicken anymore? Well, 00:07:27.579 --> 00:07:31.040 yeah, I mean, that's why there's an egg crisis, 00:07:31.139 --> 00:07:34.060 because of bird flu. So, yes, chicken is also 00:07:34.060 --> 00:07:38.040 iffy. No! But we'll see. The next one is the 00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:40.319 one that I think is the least likely, weirdly 00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:42.300 enough, even though you constantly talk about 00:07:42.300 --> 00:07:46.459 it, nuclear war. I mean, thinking about it, it's, 00:07:46.459 --> 00:07:48.519 yeah, mutually assured destruction doesn't benefit 00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:50.819 anybody. That's just for crazy people. Except 00:07:50.819 --> 00:07:53.100 for the aliens after the nuclear fallout. Yeah, 00:07:53.100 --> 00:07:57.120 people who want to be rich need, people who want 00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:59.420 luxury need to be rich. And to be rich, you need 00:07:59.420 --> 00:08:02.600 a world that's living. It's financially inviolable 00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:05.839 to cause nuclear war. So unless you are a crazy, 00:08:05.860 --> 00:08:11.949 maniacal, religious... variant that finds pleasure 00:08:11.949 --> 00:08:14.430 in death. Unless they can make pocket nukes that 00:08:14.430 --> 00:08:16.449 only destroy little parts of things that don't 00:08:16.449 --> 00:08:18.629 cause mass destruction. They have smaller nukes, 00:08:18.649 --> 00:08:22.629 but it travels. There's a video game series with 00:08:22.629 --> 00:08:26.290 the word that is the thing. Fallout! Oh yeah, 00:08:26.329 --> 00:08:28.490 you do have many nukes that you can launch. Yeah, 00:08:28.490 --> 00:08:32.690 but the Fallout, it moves. Yeah. You'll love 00:08:32.690 --> 00:08:34.909 the next one. The next category. Space Rock? 00:08:35.269 --> 00:08:39.120 AI out of control. And that's the one that you 00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:42.039 think is the most plausible? No. Either intentionally 00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:44.720 or unintentionally causing risk through autonomous 00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:47.519 weapons or super intelligent decision making. 00:08:47.820 --> 00:08:51.940 Skynet! Skynet! Goddammit! So even with ChachiBT... 00:08:52.190 --> 00:08:54.730 talking about it here, it still throws itself 00:08:54.730 --> 00:08:58.389 a backhanded compliment by saying that, oh, well, 00:08:58.409 --> 00:09:01.169 the world can end through super intelligent decision 00:09:01.169 --> 00:09:03.590 making. Yeah, thanks. Your super intelligent 00:09:03.590 --> 00:09:07.750 decision making killed my dog. Exactly. I don't 00:09:07.750 --> 00:09:10.929 want it. No. So the next one is your space baby. 00:09:11.129 --> 00:09:13.529 Space rock! Yeah, asteroid impact, of course. 00:09:13.590 --> 00:09:16.129 I mean, it's happened how many times? Well, one 00:09:16.129 --> 00:09:18.830 major extinction event. Well, no, there's been 00:09:18.830 --> 00:09:24.200 several major extinction events. Yes, one major 00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:27.559 extinction event caused by a meteor. Yeah. I 00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:30.179 was saying one of them was caused by a meteor. 00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:31.899 Oh, yeah, that's right. We've had multiple, but 00:09:31.899 --> 00:09:35.460 I think only one is proven or mostly proven to 00:09:35.460 --> 00:09:41.039 be a meteor. Space rock! I still say the KT. 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:45.259 extinction event is dwarfed by the great dying 00:09:45.259 --> 00:09:48.460 and the oxidation event but those are those are 00:09:48.460 --> 00:09:50.580 topics for another day that i wouldn't want to 00:09:50.580 --> 00:09:53.139 bore michael with dude i'm gonna put that shit 00:09:53.139 --> 00:09:54.460 we could definitely make that another episode 00:09:54.460 --> 00:09:58.960 yeah and finally ecosystem collapse now this 00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:00.960 is different from the climate catastrophe in 00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:04.340 this It's the idea of losing biodiversity and 00:10:04.340 --> 00:10:06.899 ecosystems through unraveling the food chain, 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:09.720 which in this case, this is like making crucial 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:14.620 animals like a bee go extinct. Or the exact opposite, 00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:17.500 which... Too many bees? Well, no. And we wicker 00:10:17.500 --> 00:10:20.559 man the world? Well, I mean, it would greatly 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:23.139 be deserved. No, I'm talking about scientists 00:10:23.139 --> 00:10:25.460 are thinking about making Jurassic Park an actual 00:10:25.460 --> 00:10:29.840 thing. As they should. No! But let's think about 00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:32.720 this, though. Imagine you wicker man the world. 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:38.019 I need to Photoshop Nicolas Cage's face, Ego 00:10:38.019 --> 00:10:41.220 the Living Planet style, on Earth. Just surrounded 00:10:41.220 --> 00:10:43.240 by bees? And have him yelling, oh, the bees. 00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:46.080 Wicker manning the world. Great idea, Michael. 00:10:46.179 --> 00:10:50.179 That needs to be a movie. Bees! Please be kind 00:10:50.179 --> 00:10:52.440 to your local bee population. Yes, I haven't 00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:55.320 killed a bee in a long time. No, you let them 00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:57.340 go. Just like spiders that you find in your house. 00:10:57.419 --> 00:11:01.539 You let them go. Yeah, so then to bridge the 00:11:01.539 --> 00:11:03.600 gap to what you're going to be discussing here. 00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:07.480 All right. So then Chad TPT connected what we 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:09.139 just talked about to religions, and then they 00:11:09.139 --> 00:11:10.980 talked about climate catastrophe could be divine 00:11:10.980 --> 00:11:13.610 punishment. like from the four horsemen causing 00:11:13.610 --> 00:11:17.190 pestilence and famine. Pandemics, once again, 00:11:17.330 --> 00:11:19.190 the plagues of Egypt, I mean, that just writes 00:11:19.190 --> 00:11:23.389 itself. AI technology run amok, symbolizing humans 00:11:23.389 --> 00:11:26.750 playing God, which definitely comes in with Christian, 00:11:26.769 --> 00:11:29.230 Hindu, and Gnostic traditions. Yep. You know, 00:11:29.230 --> 00:11:31.450 Christianity talking about the apocalypse battle 00:11:31.450 --> 00:11:34.850 between good and evil. Ah, but that's not all 00:11:34.850 --> 00:11:38.009 of Christianity. Yeah, exactly. Norse. We're 00:11:38.009 --> 00:11:40.350 going to get to you. Oh, yeah. Norse, the world 00:11:40.350 --> 00:11:42.990 serpent fighting. Well, just Ragnarok and the 00:11:42.990 --> 00:11:46.029 death of the gods. Hinduism with the cycle of 00:11:46.029 --> 00:11:50.289 renewal. Islam with the day of judgment. And 00:11:50.289 --> 00:11:52.730 the return of Jesus. Who would have even thought 00:11:52.730 --> 00:11:54.759 they were thinking about Jesus? And the final 00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:56.600 Reckoning of Souls. So there's all kinds of stuff 00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:57.700 like that. And then it gets, you know, in the 00:11:57.700 --> 00:12:00.399 next part, it says cults like Heaven's Gate or 00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:02.659 Om Shinrikyo, which I don't know if we've talked 00:12:02.659 --> 00:12:03.720 about that one. I'm surprised they didn't bring 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:05.580 in the people of Jonestown. Yeah, well, this 00:12:05.580 --> 00:12:08.679 is just a light splattering. So then, basically... 00:12:08.970 --> 00:12:11.809 Chet, he asked about the idea of you talking 00:12:11.809 --> 00:12:13.909 about death cults, and I think that just leads 00:12:13.909 --> 00:12:16.490 directly into what Michael needs to bring us 00:12:16.490 --> 00:12:19.330 in with here. Yeah, okay. So, like I said, I 00:12:19.330 --> 00:12:21.289 did my research on various different religions 00:12:21.289 --> 00:12:23.269 and how the world was going to end, and I think 00:12:23.269 --> 00:12:25.909 I hit most of the major ones. I got a silly one 00:12:25.909 --> 00:12:27.129 in there, and then we're going to talk about 00:12:27.129 --> 00:12:29.049 some cults. So we're going to start off in the 00:12:29.049 --> 00:12:32.990 East. Ah, the East. Hinduism, they don't really 00:12:32.990 --> 00:12:35.070 believe that the world is going to end. They 00:12:35.070 --> 00:12:38.450 feel like it's, by definition, it says... I'm 00:12:38.450 --> 00:12:42.049 sorry if I butcher these. Kalki, K -A -L -K -I, 00:12:42.309 --> 00:12:45.830 the 10th avatar of Vishnu. Wait, is that avatar 00:12:45.830 --> 00:12:49.370 like Aang? No, I think they mean avatars. It's 00:12:49.370 --> 00:12:51.850 just another embodiment. So they can't bend elements? 00:12:52.129 --> 00:12:54.129 No. Well, I mean, they are technically gods. 00:12:54.250 --> 00:12:55.730 Maybe they did, maybe they can't. See, no wonder 00:12:55.730 --> 00:12:58.110 avatar is more popular than Hinduism, because 00:12:58.110 --> 00:13:01.110 Hinduism can't bend elements. And you can't eat 00:13:01.110 --> 00:13:05.409 beef. See, I'd rather watch the cartoon. Yeah. 00:13:05.669 --> 00:13:08.320 While eating a cheeseburger. My Hindu friends, 00:13:08.500 --> 00:13:11.100 namaste. Yeah, namaste. If namaste is the correct 00:13:11.100 --> 00:13:12.860 thing to say for that. I think it is. Either 00:13:12.860 --> 00:13:15.159 way, we love you. Yeah. We're poking fun at you 00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:17.899 because we can, but we like you. Yes. You're 00:13:17.899 --> 00:13:19.679 a peaceful religion. Yes, very peaceful. That 00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:22.700 means we love you all. Yes. The 10th Avatar of 00:13:22.700 --> 00:13:26.299 Vishnu, she will destroy evil and usher in a 00:13:26.299 --> 00:13:30.960 new cycle of creation. Okay, so that's similar 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.879 to what we talked about with Ragnarok, with the 00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:38.720 idea of the gods. Cleansing things. They call 00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:42.100 it Satya Yuga. As is by restoring righteousness 00:13:42.100 --> 00:13:46.720 and Dharma. Like the initiative. Yeah. This is 00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:51.480 often referred to as play up the cosmic dissolution 00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:55.940 followed by a rebirth phase. So essentially it's. 00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:58.480 So it's like the refractory period. Yeah. It's 00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:01.639 like everything just kind of closes in and then 00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:05.750 expands out again. Oh, basically like. The big 00:14:05.750 --> 00:14:09.769 bang followed by the big crunch. Yes. Where scientists 00:14:09.769 --> 00:14:12.710 are starting to theorize that potentially the 00:14:12.710 --> 00:14:15.889 universe might just be in a cycle of birth and 00:14:15.889 --> 00:14:19.049 death, which basically would align or potentially 00:14:19.049 --> 00:14:22.769 align science with Hinduism. Yes. Which is fun. 00:14:22.870 --> 00:14:24.889 Yes. Because there's more science in Hinduism 00:14:24.889 --> 00:14:26.769 than there is in Christianity. But, you know, 00:14:26.789 --> 00:14:30.289 speaking about a religion that has actually. 00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:32.580 beliefs in science, we're going to talk about 00:14:32.580 --> 00:14:35.179 our peace -loving, somewhat annoying at the airport 00:14:35.179 --> 00:14:38.899 brethren, the Buddhists. In Buddhism, the world 00:14:38.899 --> 00:14:41.480 does not have a definitive end, in the sense 00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:44.259 of a single catastrophic event. Instead, the 00:14:44.259 --> 00:14:47.360 universe is cyclical, constantly undergoing change 00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:51.259 and rebirth, with focus being on individual liberation 00:14:51.259 --> 00:14:55.000 from the cycle of suffering, Samsara. Wait, so 00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:58.159 Buddhism is the ship of Theseus? That's a different 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:01.470 podcast. No, it's the ship of Theseus. The universe 00:15:01.470 --> 00:15:03.590 just keeps replacing parts, and then you think 00:15:03.590 --> 00:15:05.669 it's reborn, but it's really just the same universe, 00:15:05.809 --> 00:15:08.029 but then with all different parts, which then 00:15:08.029 --> 00:15:09.929 makes it not the same universe, even though it 00:15:09.929 --> 00:15:13.169 is the same universe. So is it the ship of Theseus, 00:15:13.169 --> 00:15:15.230 or is it Schrodinger's cat? No, it's the ship 00:15:15.230 --> 00:15:17.970 of Theseus. Schrodinger's cat's a superposition! 00:15:19.929 --> 00:15:23.009 Rather than the end of the physical world itself, 00:15:23.289 --> 00:15:27.980 some Buddhist texts describe a potential... Future? 00:15:27.980 --> 00:15:31.399 No. Where society degenerates significantly, 00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:36.539 leading to the emergence of a new Buddha, Maitreya, 00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:39.399 who will usher in a new era of enlightenment. 00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:42.559 It's basically everybody's going to get so stupid 00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:44.840 that we're going to get smart again, I guess? 00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:47.240 So it's basically what we're going through right 00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:49.159 now. Pretty much. So maybe the Hindus and the 00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:51.759 Buddhists, maybe they got something going there. 00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:54.179 Maybe they're right. Here's the thing, Steve 00:15:54.179 --> 00:15:57.250 Rogers. They always have. Well, yeah. You want 00:15:57.250 --> 00:15:58.990 to talk about something wacky now? You want to 00:15:58.990 --> 00:16:02.830 talk about a wacky religion? I love wacky. The 00:16:02.830 --> 00:16:05.509 Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, otherwise 00:16:05.509 --> 00:16:10.230 known as Pastafaria. Oh, yeah. Satire. An ironic, 00:16:10.570 --> 00:16:14.250 satirical religion, in quotes. And here we go. 00:16:14.570 --> 00:16:17.629 The world will end due to a lack of pirates. 00:16:18.029 --> 00:16:20.769 When was the last time you heard about pirates? 00:16:21.190 --> 00:16:24.399 I mean, I'm a... Pittsburgh sports fan, so... 00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:27.100 Actual pirates, things... I don't know, what's 00:16:27.100 --> 00:16:29.559 been going on in Somalia lately? Yeah, we haven't 00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:31.700 heard anything. Could that have something to 00:16:31.700 --> 00:16:35.879 do with the apocalyptic feel of the world right 00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:39.139 now? Yes, and it says there, as the flying spaghetti 00:16:39.139 --> 00:16:42.299 monster created the world to appear older than 00:16:42.299 --> 00:16:45.860 it is... And the decline in pirate numbers is 00:16:45.860 --> 00:16:49.240 directly linked to global warming and other social 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:53.039 societal issues, ultimately leading to the planet's 00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:56.740 destruction. This is a satirical. view meant 00:16:56.740 --> 00:17:00.019 to criticize creationist arguments about the 00:17:00.019 --> 00:17:03.220 Earth's age. Side note, the religion considers 00:17:03.220 --> 00:17:06.819 pirates as the original Pastafarians, and their 00:17:06.819 --> 00:17:09.779 decreasing numbers are seen as a major threat 00:17:09.779 --> 00:17:12.859 to the world's balance. So basically Jack Sparrow 00:17:12.859 --> 00:17:15.619 is Jesus. Anyway, what comes after Pastamans? 00:17:15.859 --> 00:17:19.400 Well, we're going to say Shalom to our Jewish 00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:21.539 brethren out there. Hopefully you're not having 00:17:21.539 --> 00:17:25.200 a nice time sitting on your Tuchusen. Don't get 00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:28.079 all verklempt. Baskoochie. Yeah. Gesundheit. 00:17:29.140 --> 00:17:33.519 Now that's German. Hey, there are German Jews. 00:17:33.619 --> 00:17:36.180 There are German Jews. Well, there's a lot less 00:17:36.180 --> 00:17:39.019 of them now, and that sucks. Yeah. I was going 00:17:39.019 --> 00:17:41.440 to let that word hang and let it be a dark joke, 00:17:41.539 --> 00:17:43.460 but I couldn't. Yeah. I just couldn't. It's too 00:17:43.460 --> 00:17:46.160 soon. Still too soon. It's never not too soon. 00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:49.859 And by the way, we have on our YouTube page and 00:17:49.859 --> 00:17:52.160 whatever, the comment section is always open. 00:17:52.180 --> 00:17:54.630 If I get something wrong. Feel free to correct 00:17:54.630 --> 00:17:57.190 my ass and let them ask me. Especially if this 00:17:57.190 --> 00:17:59.789 is 10 years from now and all the religious texts 00:17:59.789 --> 00:18:02.589 that aren't American Christian have been burned. 00:18:02.869 --> 00:18:05.829 Please, leave them all in the comments so that 00:18:05.829 --> 00:18:08.609 we can chronicle them. They won't be lost forever 00:18:08.609 --> 00:18:11.190 in the dark dankness of fascism. Yeah, exactly. 00:18:11.829 --> 00:18:15.130 Anyway. Alright, so Judaism or Judaism. Hopefully 00:18:15.130 --> 00:18:19.130 I didn't butcher that. Jew -deism? Pardon me? 00:18:19.980 --> 00:18:22.519 J -U -D -A -I -S -M. I'm pretty sure it is Judaism. 00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:26.920 Okay. I do believe so. Okay, so the quote -unquote 00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.799 end of days refers not to a complete annihilation 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:36.019 of the world, but rather the arrival of a messiahic 00:18:36.019 --> 00:18:39.619 era. Ah, yes. They believe Jesus was a cool dude. 00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:42.519 They don't think he was the messiah. And then 00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:46.079 that's the same thing. Then Islam... Thinks he's 00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:48.480 kind of the Messiah. He's more or less a prophet. 00:18:48.779 --> 00:18:50.700 But there needs to be a better Messiah. Yeah, 00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:54.200 exactly. It's basically just who thinks who is 00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:56.299 the Messiah. And I'm like, why can't we all be 00:18:56.299 --> 00:18:58.700 the Messiah? Yeah. Whatever. I'm sorry. Not the 00:18:58.700 --> 00:19:02.519 Messiah as a Messianic. Messianic. That's where 00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:06.099 the word derives. Brought about by the Messiah. 00:19:06.339 --> 00:19:09.140 Their Messiah will finally come. Where the world 00:19:09.140 --> 00:19:12.730 will be transformed. into a time of universal 00:19:12.730 --> 00:19:15.829 peace and righteousness with the Jewish people 00:19:15.829 --> 00:19:18.190 gathered in Israel and the dead resurrected. 00:19:18.470 --> 00:19:21.430 This is seen as the ultimate redemption and not 00:19:21.430 --> 00:19:24.589 a destructive end to the world as we know it. 00:19:24.690 --> 00:19:26.869 Well, how is everyone going to fit in Israel? 00:19:27.250 --> 00:19:29.809 Even all of the Jewish people in the world, they 00:19:29.809 --> 00:19:32.289 can't fit there. It's too small. I think the 00:19:32.289 --> 00:19:34.809 word Israel just kind of gets... So you feel 00:19:34.809 --> 00:19:38.049 like Israel isn't the country, it's the friends 00:19:38.049 --> 00:19:41.009 we made along the way? I think Israel, they just 00:19:41.009 --> 00:19:42.970 say Israel, but I really think what they just 00:19:42.970 --> 00:19:45.190 mean is whatever the holy - Like earth? Like 00:19:45.190 --> 00:19:48.609 earth? Yeah, whatever the holy land is. The things 00:19:48.609 --> 00:19:51.769 that haven't been nuked. Yeah. Next fucking question, 00:19:51.890 --> 00:19:54.970 Michael. All right, so moving on. We're moving 00:19:54.970 --> 00:19:56.890 on from the Jewish people, ladies and gentlemen. 00:19:56.910 --> 00:19:59.230 We're moving on, and yes, thank you for listening 00:19:59.230 --> 00:20:01.410 for about that, and we don't mean that. Let's 00:20:01.410 --> 00:20:04.809 go to their, I guess you could call them - Their 00:20:04.809 --> 00:20:07.769 redheaded stepchild? No, like their cousin religion. 00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:10.359 Muslims. Our Muslim brothers and sisters. That's 00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:13.140 their red -headed grandchild. Oh, please don't. 00:20:13.140 --> 00:20:14.519 We're not going to... That's their red -headed 00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:18.420 grandchild. Judaism begat Christianity. Christianity 00:20:18.420 --> 00:20:23.279 begat Islam. I guess you're right. No, it is 00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:25.240 right. Those are the three Abrahamic religions, 00:20:25.299 --> 00:20:27.220 and that is the order in which they were created. 00:20:27.539 --> 00:20:29.900 Yes, but we're not trying to start, you know, 00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:32.579 anything here. We're just trying to go... Well, 00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:34.740 I'm saying that they're their red -headed stepchild 00:20:34.740 --> 00:20:38.339 to them. I wouldn't just say they're their beloved 00:20:38.339 --> 00:20:40.619 greats. They don't like each other that much. 00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:43.140 So they're their red -headed stepchild. That's 00:20:43.140 --> 00:20:46.259 not saying anything negative about Islam. That's 00:20:46.259 --> 00:20:49.539 saying it from their perspective. And then Christianity 00:20:49.539 --> 00:20:54.140 loves their... their mom, but then isn't all 00:20:54.140 --> 00:20:58.279 that fond of their child. Yeah. You know, Abrahamic 00:20:58.279 --> 00:21:02.380 Religions is basically like a 90s sitcom where 00:21:02.380 --> 00:21:03.920 three people who don't like each other get put 00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:06.099 in the same apartment. But some of them do like 00:21:06.099 --> 00:21:07.900 each other sometimes, and sometimes they don't. 00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:10.599 Depends on what we need to write in the... Yeah, 00:21:10.619 --> 00:21:12.259 depends on what people need to write in those 00:21:12.259 --> 00:21:15.859 religious books. Note to self, write that sitcom 00:21:15.859 --> 00:21:22.519 and then send it back to 1985. Are you sure about 00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:25.400 1985? There was the whole conflict Iran -Contra 00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:29.019 going on. Yeah, that'll make it hilarious. We're 00:21:29.019 --> 00:21:37.339 cutting the tension with a comedy knife. Anyway, 00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:39.799 restart your paragraph. All right, so Muslim 00:21:39.799 --> 00:21:41.900 belief of the end of the world. The Quran describes 00:21:41.900 --> 00:21:44.859 the end of the world referred to as the day of 00:21:44.859 --> 00:21:48.859 judgment. So do you have a war on Christianity 00:21:48.859 --> 00:21:51.980 that you just skip it like that? No, I'm getting 00:21:51.980 --> 00:21:55.740 to Christianity. You know, the whole world is 00:21:55.740 --> 00:21:59.079 saturated. The most oppressed people in the world 00:21:59.079 --> 00:22:04.079 are American Christians. American white Christians. 00:22:04.619 --> 00:22:10.460 No, you are perpetuating the emotional slaughter 00:22:10.460 --> 00:22:13.740 of the most oppressed people to ever live on 00:22:13.740 --> 00:22:17.759 this world. I don't fucking care. White American 00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:24.019 Christian. Housewives of Indiana. I'm going to 00:22:24.019 --> 00:22:26.500 pick a specific state. There's no state whiter 00:22:26.500 --> 00:22:30.500 than Indiana. No, well, maybe. Okay, Utah, Utah, 00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:34.579 Utah. Yeah, because technically Indiana has Chicago. 00:22:34.940 --> 00:22:38.039 Oh, Illinois, never mind. They have Indianapolis. 00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:40.519 They have Indianapolis, yes. But still, well, 00:22:40.700 --> 00:22:43.579 there's probably a person of color in Indianapolis. 00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:46.019 They all play for the Pacers or the Colts. Oh, 00:22:46.059 --> 00:22:50.180 that's so sad. No, all of our... Anybody listening 00:22:50.180 --> 00:22:53.660 who, you know... We kid because we love. Yeah. 00:22:54.680 --> 00:22:57.240 Basically, essentially, I was making fun of white 00:22:57.240 --> 00:22:59.319 people and always having to play the victim. 00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:02.359 Anyway, continue on without my interruptions. 00:23:03.019 --> 00:23:05.339 It's referred to as the Day of Judgment, or, 00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:08.900 I'm going to butcher this so bad, Al -Kiyamak, 00:23:08.940 --> 00:23:13.180 or Al -Kiyama, Yamaha, Yama, as a time of great 00:23:13.180 --> 00:23:16.859 upheaval and cosmic disruption. This is where 00:23:16.859 --> 00:23:19.079 things start to get, like... Cosmic disruption. 00:23:19.180 --> 00:23:22.079 This is where shit starts to get chaotic. With 00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:25.240 signs like the sun rising from the west instead 00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:29.460 of the east, the stars falling, mountains crumbling, 00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:33.180 and the oceans... boiling signifying the severity 00:23:33.180 --> 00:23:36.819 of the event and the ultimate power of god it 00:23:36.819 --> 00:23:39.500 emphasizes that everyone will be resurrected 00:23:39.500 --> 00:23:43.599 and judged based on their deeds in life with 00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:46.500 the righteous being rewarded in paradise and 00:23:46.500 --> 00:23:49.400 the wicked punished in hellfire wow that's like 00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:53.480 god basically picks up the Etch -A -Sketch and 00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:57.059 is just like, Fuck all this shit that I created! 00:23:57.700 --> 00:23:59.420 And then he pulls all the people out of it and 00:23:59.420 --> 00:24:03.079 then judges them. If you notice, when it comes 00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:08.220 to Muslim and Judaism, that God in both texts 00:24:08.220 --> 00:24:13.200 is very angry. That's the thing. If you know 00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:16.640 anything about the history of Abrahamic religion, 00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:21.190 Abrahamic religion... was started from pulling 00:24:21.190 --> 00:24:24.930 in and unifying under a monotheistic ideology. 00:24:25.029 --> 00:24:30.569 The war gods of the time, basically taking the 00:24:30.569 --> 00:24:32.869 pagan gods and then turning them into a centralized 00:24:32.869 --> 00:24:36.170 god that they could then control. But it all 00:24:36.170 --> 00:24:39.470 comes from a war god, and those early Israelites 00:24:39.470 --> 00:24:43.250 had to be, those tribes were very war -like. 00:24:43.599 --> 00:24:46.420 as just a point of survival as everyone was. 00:24:46.619 --> 00:24:49.720 But then everything sort of chills and calms 00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:52.299 down, and there's a lot of war during all eras, 00:24:52.299 --> 00:24:55.339 but there's a bit more of a peaceful thing happening 00:24:55.339 --> 00:24:58.920 with, like, the Roman situation. Like, after 00:24:58.920 --> 00:25:01.599 all the conquest and war they did, there was, 00:25:01.660 --> 00:25:04.240 you know, relative peace, but there was still 00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:06.920 plenty of bloodshed. But that religion was born 00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:09.000 out of a time when people were just like, man, 00:25:09.099 --> 00:25:11.359 we should just be nicer. Yeah. And forgiving 00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:14.099 and cool to people. Wouldn't that be nice? Yeah. 00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:16.579 And then the Romans killed him for it. All right. 00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:18.240 Yeah. So what comes after this? All right. So 00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:20.680 we're going to start. We're coming to America 00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:22.279 with this one. We're coming to America with this 00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:24.220 one. So you wanted to end with Christianity because 00:25:24.220 --> 00:25:25.599 that's the one that affects us the most. Well, 00:25:25.619 --> 00:25:28.180 yeah. Well, I mean, we're ending with. You'll 00:25:28.180 --> 00:25:30.460 see. Well, no. I mean, in the main religion topics. 00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:32.380 Yeah. We're coming to America for this one because 00:25:32.380 --> 00:25:36.539 this religion started here in America. Yes, we're 00:25:36.539 --> 00:25:41.440 talking the Mormons. Those weird people that 00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:43.240 we don't talk about. Hey, don't call people weird. 00:25:43.460 --> 00:25:47.039 Just because they act weird and seem weird, they're 00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:49.460 not all weird. Just because they do weird things 00:25:49.460 --> 00:25:53.460 and are weird. Those polygamists that live in 00:25:53.460 --> 00:25:55.960 Utah. I don't think all of them are polygamists. 00:25:56.709 --> 00:25:58.509 Some of them are. I mean, a lot of them are. 00:25:58.569 --> 00:26:01.329 And the most exploitative ones are. Yes. For 00:26:01.329 --> 00:26:05.490 sure. Yes. Our dopey little brothers and sisters 00:26:05.490 --> 00:26:08.609 over in Utah. And I say that with love. Don't 00:26:08.609 --> 00:26:10.569 bring the sisters into it. Most of them are forced. 00:26:10.809 --> 00:26:14.089 Yeah, I'm sorry. Oof. Okay, so here's how the 00:26:14.089 --> 00:26:16.670 Mormons think the world will end. The world will 00:26:16.670 --> 00:26:19.990 end with the second coming of Jesus Christ. This 00:26:19.990 --> 00:26:21.549 is where you're going to start hearing this a 00:26:21.549 --> 00:26:24.309 lot, people, so I apologize. Well, it's actually 00:26:24.309 --> 00:26:27.089 the third coming of Jesus Christ. Oh, yeah, that's 00:26:27.089 --> 00:26:29.390 right. Because he technically came back to Utah 00:26:29.390 --> 00:26:38.819 and showed Joseph Smith his plates. Yeah. Where 00:26:38.819 --> 00:26:43.180 he will return to earth to usher in a period 00:26:43.180 --> 00:26:46.279 of judgment and resurrection. Because Jesus is 00:26:46.279 --> 00:26:49.440 all about judging you. Yeah. With the righteous 00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:52.079 being rewarded and the wicked punished. This 00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:55.420 will be preceded by a time of great tribulation 00:26:55.420 --> 00:27:06.910 and signs. I thought they all got their own planet 00:27:06.910 --> 00:27:10.509 to be God on. I thought that's what the end result 00:27:10.509 --> 00:27:13.309 was. No, that's a different sect of Mormonism. 00:27:13.509 --> 00:27:15.970 Yeah, that makes sense. Those people branched 00:27:15.970 --> 00:27:18.390 off from the even weirder Mormons in the LDS. 00:27:18.410 --> 00:27:20.190 We're not going to talk about them. Oh, yeah. 00:27:20.210 --> 00:27:23.029 Just go watch a documentary about LDS on some 00:27:23.029 --> 00:27:24.589 streaming service. Yeah, their leader is currently 00:27:24.589 --> 00:27:27.230 getting... butt -fucked in the state penitentiary. 00:27:27.230 --> 00:27:31.329 Oh. Does he like it? No. Dude, he recorded himself 00:27:31.329 --> 00:27:34.130 having sex with a 12 -year -old girl. Oh, that'll 00:27:34.130 --> 00:27:38.450 get you. That'll get you down. I hope he can't 00:27:38.450 --> 00:27:40.490 fart anymore and all that just comes out is... 00:27:40.490 --> 00:27:44.769 I think that's it. I seriously hope... I hope 00:27:44.769 --> 00:27:48.150 he can't sit. I hope he has to stand and eat. 00:27:48.190 --> 00:27:52.069 I swear on everything that I believe in. I want 00:27:52.069 --> 00:27:56.130 this... to seriously endure as much pain and 00:27:56.130 --> 00:27:59.589 suffering as he can until he takes his final 00:27:59.589 --> 00:28:03.430 breath. So we leave our doofy little brethren 00:28:03.430 --> 00:28:06.750 in the Mormon religion and let's go to the first 00:28:06.750 --> 00:28:11.349 sect that broke off of Catholicism. The first... 00:28:11.349 --> 00:28:14.509 The Protestants? The Protestants! They had their 00:28:14.509 --> 00:28:18.440 own end time scenario? Yes. The world will end 00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:21.460 with the second coming of Jesus. Yeah, that's 00:28:21.460 --> 00:28:25.279 Christian. Often including a belief in the rapture 00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:29.119 where believers will be taken up to heaven before 00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:31.940 a period of tribulation on earth. But genuinely 00:28:31.940 --> 00:28:34.740 interpreted through the book of Revelation, some 00:28:34.740 --> 00:28:37.859 believing in a more general understanding of 00:28:37.859 --> 00:28:40.799 Jesus' return without a specific future event. 00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:44.319 A lot of Protestants just generally believe that 00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:45.640 Jesus is just going to come back and be like, 00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:48.960 hey, who wants to come to heaven with me? And 00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:51.339 the people that are like, we do. And then there 00:28:51.339 --> 00:28:52.880 are going to be people like, nah, I'm cool here. 00:28:53.079 --> 00:28:54.759 And Jesus is going to be like, I don't care which 00:28:54.759 --> 00:28:57.160 ones want to come and which ones don't. I love 00:28:57.160 --> 00:28:58.799 you all. If you want to stay here, I'm taking 00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:00.980 these ones with me. You have fun on earth. So 00:29:00.980 --> 00:29:05.990 let's condense all this down to one point. When 00:29:05.990 --> 00:29:08.450 do you think Jesus is going to return? I don't 00:29:08.450 --> 00:29:10.789 think Jesus is ever going to return. If I were 00:29:10.789 --> 00:29:13.930 Jesus, if I were Jesus, I wouldn't come back 00:29:13.930 --> 00:29:16.529 right now. Are you fucking kidding me? I mean, 00:29:16.549 --> 00:29:20.170 he'd get put in Guantanamo Bay. Yes, they'd crucify 00:29:20.170 --> 00:29:22.990 him faster. And do you know where Guantanamo 00:29:22.990 --> 00:29:26.450 Bay is? It's in the Gulf of America. Thank you 00:29:26.450 --> 00:29:31.200 for getting my... It's the Gulf of Mexico, goddammit. 00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:33.039 Yeah, because it used to be literally surrounded 00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:35.539 by Mexico before it all got either stolen or 00:29:35.539 --> 00:29:42.160 sold off. There's someone new living in the house, 00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:43.660 so we're just going to change the house number. 00:29:43.960 --> 00:29:47.200 Just leave the house number as 69. It's hilarious. 00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:51.039 Leave it alone. I guess you got to make things 00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:53.579 your own, but that's the corporate mindset. But 00:29:53.579 --> 00:29:55.559 you know what? Fuck the corporate mindset. All 00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:57.559 right. Do we want to get into Catholicism or 00:29:57.559 --> 00:29:59.019 do we want to skip and save that for the end? 00:29:59.259 --> 00:30:01.480 How about we just skip Catholicism altogether? 00:30:02.039 --> 00:30:03.700 All right. Well, then I'll go quick with this. 00:30:04.140 --> 00:30:08.299 No. No, we had to. I can't just skip. We did. 00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:10.839 We're skipping. Catholicism is about the frickin 00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:13.539 rapture, except that you then accept that you 00:30:13.539 --> 00:30:15.980 then also what's about people getting taken and 00:30:15.980 --> 00:30:18.819 judged. But then but apparently you can also 00:30:18.819 --> 00:30:21.180 just pay a pastor and then you'll get in the 00:30:21.180 --> 00:30:23.920 head or a priest and you'll get into heaven because 00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:26.200 you're going to have to let the priest wipe his 00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:29.200 cock across your son's face. Yeah, you know, 00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:31.779 he wipes his cock across the kid's face and then 00:30:31.779 --> 00:30:34.200 he pays a priest money and then he gets into 00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:36.569 heaven. His indulgences are a thing. You know 00:30:36.569 --> 00:30:38.490 what? I don't want to hear about Catholicism 00:30:38.490 --> 00:30:42.589 at this point. Fuck the Vatican. I don't want 00:30:42.589 --> 00:30:44.430 to hear about it. Well, I mean, at least the 00:30:44.430 --> 00:30:46.410 Pope's pretty cool. This Pope, at least. Yeah, 00:30:46.430 --> 00:30:48.990 but now he has pneumonia in both lungs and he's 00:30:48.990 --> 00:30:52.009 going to die. I think it's a setup. I think they 00:30:52.009 --> 00:30:54.210 finally had enough of him. You think they peed 00:30:54.210 --> 00:30:56.529 pneumonia into his lungs? I think they did something 00:30:56.529 --> 00:30:59.109 because he sat there and said that we can dismiss 00:30:59.109 --> 00:31:02.309 the Old Testament as merely stories. Yeah, which 00:31:02.309 --> 00:31:05.339 is true. My mom believes that now. But anyway, 00:31:05.559 --> 00:31:09.240 Catholicism has had their light for too long. 00:31:09.619 --> 00:31:12.359 I want you to give me whatever you have written 00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:17.640 there. I want you to give me one sentence. One 00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:23.440 sentence with a subject and a predicate and a 00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:29.230 period. No semicolon. having two statements that 00:31:29.230 --> 00:31:31.690 then create one sentence. I want one subject 00:31:31.690 --> 00:31:34.789 and one predicate. I got it. It says right here 00:31:34.789 --> 00:31:38.170 that the event, this is what they call it, the 00:31:38.170 --> 00:31:40.190 event is believed to be sudden and unexpected. 00:31:40.589 --> 00:31:42.349 And yet they've been trying to predict it for 00:31:42.349 --> 00:31:45.089 2 ,000 years and getting it wrong. Anyway. And 00:31:45.089 --> 00:31:49.750 apparently it's... No, hey, that's your sentence 00:31:49.750 --> 00:31:52.529 at a period. I know, but here, but to quote what 00:31:52.529 --> 00:31:55.460 you said... It says here, exact timing is unknown, 00:31:55.599 --> 00:31:56.940 even though they've been trying to predict it. 00:31:56.980 --> 00:32:00.480 And apparently not even angels know when the 00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:02.819 end of times are going to be. See, none of that 00:32:02.819 --> 00:32:04.759 went into my ears because I said one sentence. 00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:08.900 So now I have no idea. Michael's mouth was just 00:32:08.900 --> 00:32:11.140 moving. I didn't hear any words. Oh, Jesus Christ. 00:32:11.420 --> 00:32:14.720 Oh, we're back to America with this one. I don't 00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:17.500 want a Baptist. Because you're a sect of Protestants. 00:32:17.539 --> 00:32:21.960 No, I'm a Baptist. Your sect believes in the 00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:25.359 entire Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Yeah, 00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:27.640 the Apocalypse. But if I got water put on me, 00:32:27.700 --> 00:32:30.380 if I got water put on me a long time ago, I'm 00:32:30.380 --> 00:32:33.359 fine. All right, so we were in the... Mike, did 00:32:33.359 --> 00:32:35.619 you have water put on you? I was baptized Catholic, 00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:38.059 yes. I was never baptized, so actually I'd go 00:32:38.059 --> 00:32:42.140 to hell. So we're going to go from Utah. We're 00:32:42.140 --> 00:32:46.950 going to go down south. The Aztecs? What Christian 00:32:46.950 --> 00:32:50.450 sect started down south, you know, with the... 00:32:50.450 --> 00:32:53.410 Baptist. No, I'm talking the other one down there. 00:32:53.589 --> 00:32:57.829 You gotta call in the number and the Lord will 00:32:57.829 --> 00:33:01.809 bless you if you just donate five dollars. Southern 00:33:01.809 --> 00:33:06.009 Baptist? Evangelicalism. Well, that's not a religion. 00:33:06.009 --> 00:33:10.430 That's a type of way that a person... expresses 00:33:10.430 --> 00:33:13.730 their religion for monetary gain. I mean, it's 00:33:13.730 --> 00:33:15.869 still considered a religion in its own, and they 00:33:15.869 --> 00:33:19.069 still have tax -exempt status. Yeah, for the 00:33:19.069 --> 00:33:22.450 churches of the religion that practice evangelicalism. 00:33:22.450 --> 00:33:24.430 But they don't call themselves Baptists. They 00:33:24.430 --> 00:33:27.180 call themselves evangelicals. They believe the 00:33:27.180 --> 00:33:29.220 world will end with a series of catastrophic 00:33:29.220 --> 00:33:33.039 events, including widespread natural disasters, 00:33:33.220 --> 00:33:36.799 wars, and a final battle known as Armageddon, 00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:39.559 culminating in the return of Jesus Christ to 00:33:39.559 --> 00:33:42.019 Earth to judge the living and the dead, ultimately 00:33:42.019 --> 00:33:45.740 ushering in a new heaven and a new Earth. This 00:33:45.740 --> 00:33:47.839 view is largely based on passages from the Book 00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:51.660 of Revelation. And just as you were repeating 00:33:51.660 --> 00:33:55.269 everything you had said but louder, I then come 00:33:55.269 --> 00:33:59.690 to the Wikipedia page for Protestantism, of which 00:33:59.690 --> 00:34:05.230 evangelical Protestantism is a worldwide interdenominational 00:34:05.230 --> 00:34:11.590 movement within Protestant Christianity, which 00:34:11.590 --> 00:34:15.469 validates what I said, that it is a way of expressing 00:34:15.469 --> 00:34:19.579 your Christianity. All right. It was the same 00:34:19.579 --> 00:34:23.320 thing repeated again but louder, which is basically 00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:26.719 a description of evangelicalism. All right, I 00:34:26.719 --> 00:34:28.719 stand corrected then. Anyway, that one dude with 00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:31.119 the dead eyes, you know who I'm talking about. 00:34:31.179 --> 00:34:34.579 Uh -huh. My God. Move on. All right. Let's talk 00:34:34.579 --> 00:34:39.460 about Tom Cruise. Oh, this whole section is redacted 00:34:39.460 --> 00:34:42.840 because we don't want to be sued. Yeah, moving 00:34:42.840 --> 00:34:46.840 on. No, we could talk about it openly because... 00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:49.949 Well, I mean, basically we... This entire section 00:34:49.949 --> 00:34:52.949 would just be see the South Park episode. Yeah, 00:34:53.010 --> 00:34:55.329 essentially. I'm just going to say. Like volcano. 00:34:56.070 --> 00:34:58.949 There's mush that comes out of a volcano. There's 00:34:58.949 --> 00:35:03.190 aliens that come back. Yeah. There's L. Ron Hubbard 00:35:03.190 --> 00:35:05.530 is still writing in a spaceship somewhere probably. 00:35:05.769 --> 00:35:08.369 With thousands of little boys. What is that? 00:35:08.590 --> 00:35:11.289 There's Thetans. How many Thetans do you have? 00:35:11.349 --> 00:35:12.889 I don't know how many Thetans I have. But this 00:35:12.889 --> 00:35:15.050 is basically on. I feel like I got four. Yeah, 00:35:15.070 --> 00:35:17.760 maybe. But this is basically how they feel. It 00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:19.280 will end the world. I'm not even going to say 00:35:19.280 --> 00:35:20.840 the religion. You know what I'm talking about. 00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:23.159 I already said Scientology like four times. Oh, 00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:27.420 okay. Hey, wait. Editor Mike, go back and see 00:35:27.420 --> 00:35:30.840 how many times did I actually say it and put 00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:34.800 a game show loser horn here if it's less than 00:35:34.800 --> 00:35:42.550 what I said. Anyway. This is not getting edited 00:35:42.550 --> 00:35:46.329 out. Scientology does not explicitly teach beliefs 00:35:46.329 --> 00:35:49.530 about how the world will end as their primary 00:35:49.530 --> 00:35:52.690 focus is on individual spiritual advancement 00:35:52.690 --> 00:35:57.670 and achieving a state of clear money. Getting 00:35:57.670 --> 00:36:02.489 rich. You need a lozenge bear? No, I'm good. 00:36:02.590 --> 00:36:05.610 Okay. Through Scientology practices, rather than 00:36:05.610 --> 00:36:09.309 predicting future global events. Therefore, the 00:36:09.309 --> 00:36:12.550 concept of a world ending is not a central tenet 00:36:12.550 --> 00:36:14.710 of their religion. No money. Because it doesn't 00:36:14.710 --> 00:36:16.030 make money. That's what I always say. Follow 00:36:16.030 --> 00:36:18.110 the money. Alright, what's next? Alright, what 00:36:18.110 --> 00:36:20.489 do we got next? Okay, so now we're getting into 00:36:20.489 --> 00:36:24.230 the... Oh, that helped us to bear left toward 00:36:24.230 --> 00:36:28.590 the 90 degree U -turn. Yeah, now we're getting 00:36:28.590 --> 00:36:32.250 into actual cults. And before I get to the ones 00:36:32.250 --> 00:36:34.449 I wrote down, let's start with one of the more 00:36:34.449 --> 00:36:37.239 famous ones, the Manson cult. Charles Manson 00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:39.860 believed that him and his little band of merry 00:36:39.860 --> 00:36:43.420 misfits were going to be the only white people 00:36:43.420 --> 00:36:48.599 to survive the African uprising in America. And 00:36:48.599 --> 00:36:51.000 after all the other white people in America were 00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:54.519 killed, they were going to emerge from the desert. 00:36:54.579 --> 00:36:57.340 And they were going to be the only white people 00:36:57.340 --> 00:37:00.260 that could show black people, or African Americans, 00:37:00.380 --> 00:37:02.000 I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say the B word, black. 00:37:02.280 --> 00:37:05.380 They were going to show the African Americans. 00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:09.320 How to run the country. This is what these morons 00:37:09.320 --> 00:37:12.280 believed. It's white savior syndrome. Yeah, it's 00:37:12.280 --> 00:37:15.179 white savior syndrome. You know, I don't like 00:37:15.179 --> 00:37:18.599 that you used the American English word black 00:37:18.599 --> 00:37:22.860 earlier. I apologize. Could you say the word 00:37:22.860 --> 00:37:26.039 black in Spanish? Nope. Oh, come on. Just speak 00:37:26.039 --> 00:37:28.420 Spanish. Nope. Just speak Spanish. Nope. Speak 00:37:28.420 --> 00:37:33.039 French? See, French is easier. It's noir, right? 00:37:33.239 --> 00:37:36.860 Oh, yeah. Noir. Right? But no, no, say it in 00:37:36.860 --> 00:37:41.460 Spanish. Nope. Say it, like, blur your words, 00:37:41.480 --> 00:37:43.840 basically slur it out. Slur out the Spanish word. 00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:46.340 No, you're not goading me into this. You are 00:37:46.340 --> 00:37:50.380 not goading me into this. So we have azul, blue. 00:37:50.900 --> 00:37:55.840 Rojo is red. What's black? Not saying it. I just 00:37:55.840 --> 00:37:58.079 wanted that sound bite so I could do things with 00:37:58.079 --> 00:38:03.019 it. Nope. But I could totally find those letters 00:38:03.019 --> 00:38:04.739 and put them together from other things that 00:38:04.739 --> 00:38:06.599 have been said tonight. But anyway, hey, next 00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:08.380 cult. All right, let's talk about the Heaven's 00:38:08.380 --> 00:38:11.239 Gate cults. And you want to hear something funny? 00:38:11.559 --> 00:38:15.639 Michael, I would love to hear something funny. 00:38:15.699 --> 00:38:17.699 I don't know if anybody else listening to this 00:38:17.699 --> 00:38:20.159 has laughed once today. Oh, I'm sure they're 00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:23.110 going to laugh at this. I think now they will 00:38:23.110 --> 00:38:26.909 truly laugh. Members believed that after their 00:38:26.909 --> 00:38:30.769 deaths, a UFO, the Hale -Bopp comet, would take 00:38:30.769 --> 00:38:34.269 their souls to another level of existence above 00:38:34.269 --> 00:38:38.960 human, which was... described as being both physical 00:38:38.960 --> 00:38:43.159 and spiritual their preparations included most 00:38:43.159 --> 00:38:46.679 members videotaping a farewell message although 00:38:46.679 --> 00:38:49.820 the original followers and leader went through 00:38:49.820 --> 00:39:00.739 with ritualistic There are still small amounts 00:39:00.739 --> 00:39:03.880 who believe in these teachings, with the Heaven's 00:39:03.880 --> 00:39:07.340 Gate website being active up until at least 2015. 00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:11.860 Okay, so where is the largest pocket of these 00:39:11.860 --> 00:39:13.920 people that still believe this? I don't know. 00:39:14.019 --> 00:39:17.119 Could you look into that for me? Because that 00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:22.820 all sounded kind of nice. No. No, please no. 00:39:23.099 --> 00:39:26.219 I love, I was going to say Kool -Aid, but it's 00:39:26.219 --> 00:39:27.960 actually Flavor -Aid. Yeah, it was Flavor -Aid. 00:39:28.019 --> 00:39:31.000 But that's also not this cult. No, that's the 00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:33.000 next one. That was your next one. And what was 00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:36.840 that one? This is Jim Jones in the People's Temple. 00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:39.199 Could you talk me out of my love of Heaven's 00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:42.360 Gate? I kind of hope I can, because People's 00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:44.139 Temple originally started here in the United 00:39:44.139 --> 00:39:48.059 States. Jim Jones was actually, if you want to... 00:39:48.119 --> 00:39:51.139 if you believe it or not, was actually a massive 00:39:51.139 --> 00:39:54.239 civil rights, a white civil rights activist. 00:39:54.639 --> 00:39:58.199 Oh, yeah. I mean, the main member of the Westboro 00:39:58.199 --> 00:40:00.679 Baptist Church was a civil rights, was also a 00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:04.920 civil rights lawyer before he got hit in the 00:40:04.920 --> 00:40:07.559 head by a falling anvil or something. I was going 00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:10.780 to say an anvil. That's amazing. He acmed himself 00:40:10.780 --> 00:40:13.340 into being what he is. Wiley. I would rather 00:40:13.340 --> 00:40:17.170 follow Wiley Coyote's religion. What, not looking 00:40:17.170 --> 00:40:18.949 down when running off a cliff? Yeah, he doesn't 00:40:18.949 --> 00:40:22.110 believe in gravity. So, People's Temple, they 00:40:22.110 --> 00:40:23.849 believe the world was going to end through a 00:40:23.849 --> 00:40:26.829 large -scale nuclear war. So didn't they get 00:40:26.829 --> 00:40:29.489 ahead of it and then went to a commune to be 00:40:29.489 --> 00:40:31.469 self -sufficient? In Jonestown, South Africa, 00:40:31.590 --> 00:40:34.849 they felt that in an event of a nuclear holocaust, 00:40:34.849 --> 00:40:37.789 for some reason... Jonestown, South Africa was 00:40:37.789 --> 00:40:40.570 going to be this purified spot where no fallout 00:40:40.570 --> 00:40:42.550 would occur. So like nobody's going to drop a 00:40:42.550 --> 00:40:44.349 nuke on Cape Town? Yeah, no one was going to 00:40:44.349 --> 00:40:45.869 do that. They were going to all be safe. They 00:40:45.869 --> 00:40:48.059 saw it was an imminent threat. From the time 00:40:48.059 --> 00:40:50.780 Jim Jones starts this shit. And isn't that funny 00:40:50.780 --> 00:40:55.500 that death cults for 2 ,000 years have created 00:40:55.500 --> 00:40:59.559 that sense of urgency through imminent threat. 00:40:59.940 --> 00:41:02.960 It's going to happen. We have it now. It started, 00:41:03.159 --> 00:41:05.320 it happened here in this country right after 00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:08.800 9 -11 with the fucking color -coded system. It's 00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:12.349 been every... year for 2000 and something years 00:41:12.349 --> 00:41:15.690 it's always creating an imminent threat so that 00:41:15.690 --> 00:41:19.710 you can then more easily control people yeah 00:41:19.710 --> 00:41:21.909 hey let's keep talking about yeah let's let's 00:41:21.909 --> 00:41:24.670 say yeah jim jones and uh that their only salvation 00:41:24.670 --> 00:41:28.190 was to escape to a remote location like jonestown 00:41:28.190 --> 00:41:31.289 in guyana to survive the impending apocalypse 00:41:31.289 --> 00:41:35.929 again if it's the apocalypse and if it's a nuclear 00:41:35.929 --> 00:41:40.619 one Why the fuck is this place so goddamn special? 00:41:40.900 --> 00:41:43.119 Well, maybe it's the wind patterns. That would 00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:44.900 mean the fallout could get there either late. 00:41:44.940 --> 00:41:46.760 The fallout's coming regardless. It's either 00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:48.760 going to get there quicker or not. No, maybe 00:41:48.760 --> 00:41:54.840 it'll just fly toward India subcontinent. Pakistan. 00:41:57.659 --> 00:42:01.219 Mongolia. This belief was often used by Jones 00:42:01.219 --> 00:42:04.650 to manipulate and control his followers. More 00:42:04.650 --> 00:42:09.610 than 900 people died on... And some of those 00:42:09.610 --> 00:42:11.690 were children. A lot of those were children. 00:42:12.070 --> 00:42:16.670 900 people died, and even to this day, you can 00:42:16.670 --> 00:42:20.329 go to Guyana, you can go to where the old Jonestown 00:42:20.329 --> 00:42:24.289 was, and they're still finding bodies. The original 00:42:24.289 --> 00:42:28.250 body count was 900, but I think at the peak of 00:42:28.250 --> 00:42:32.090 people being at Jonestown, there was over 10 00:42:32.090 --> 00:42:34.719 ,000 people there. Oh, yes, if anybody wants 00:42:34.719 --> 00:42:37.119 to know, Jim Jones did also commit suicide on 00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:40.000 this day, except he got to take the easier way 00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:42.900 out by just taking a bullet to the brain. Yeah, 00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:44.239 because he didn't practice what he preached. 00:42:44.460 --> 00:42:46.840 No, he didn't get to drink. At least Heaven's 00:42:46.840 --> 00:42:49.960 Gate guy did it. Yeah, Heaven's Gate took the 00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:53.639 cyanide. He truly believed it. Jim Jones? Nope. 00:42:53.699 --> 00:42:56.719 Jim Jones was found with a bullet wound in his 00:42:56.719 --> 00:42:59.900 head and his head gently resting on a fucking 00:42:59.900 --> 00:43:03.340 pillow. Yep. That's a good metaphor for most, 00:43:03.480 --> 00:43:07.619 if not all, cult leaders. So, I guess what I'm 00:43:07.619 --> 00:43:11.039 trying to say here is... Drink Kool -Aid. No! 00:43:11.059 --> 00:43:15.860 No, drink Kool -Aid. Not Flavor -Aid. Flavor 00:43:15.860 --> 00:43:18.159 -Aid. And make sure there's no cyanide or valium 00:43:18.159 --> 00:43:20.599 in it. But cults are a bad thing. Well, wait. 00:43:20.760 --> 00:43:23.139 Organize... No, hold on. Wait. Unless it's an 00:43:23.139 --> 00:43:27.250 appropriate dose of... prescribed Valium from 00:43:27.250 --> 00:43:30.010 your doctor. Okay, yes. If there, however, is 00:43:30.010 --> 00:43:35.389 no prescribed amount of cyanide, I guess unless 00:43:35.389 --> 00:43:38.809 you eat apple seeds for a hobby. Like Johnny 00:43:38.809 --> 00:43:41.570 Appleseed. Yeah. I guess all in all, if you've 00:43:41.570 --> 00:43:43.730 learned anything today, I hope it's the fact 00:43:43.730 --> 00:43:46.150 that you realize that organized religion can 00:43:46.150 --> 00:43:49.719 be okay. As long as the people organize it and 00:43:49.719 --> 00:43:53.139 there's not a leader or leaders who are doing 00:43:53.139 --> 00:43:56.079 the things they're doing to control other people. 00:43:56.079 --> 00:43:58.320 If I could suggest to anybody listening to this, 00:43:58.420 --> 00:44:00.719 I would recommend if you're watching the movie 00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:04.840 Dogma, so that you get a faith, you get a belief 00:44:04.840 --> 00:44:08.500 and not a faith or something. Having faith isn't 00:44:08.500 --> 00:44:13.000 a bad thing. It's when you start to have... beliefs 00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:16.360 oh okay that's when you really start to this 00:44:16.360 --> 00:44:18.579 is how jim this is how people like jim jones 00:44:18.579 --> 00:44:21.079 and l ron hubbard and the guy that created the 00:44:21.079 --> 00:44:23.920 heaven's gate they find people charles manson 00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:26.320 they find people who were desperately looking 00:44:26.320 --> 00:44:29.320 for purpose and then they provide they provide 00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:33.960 a very specific self -serving version of purpose 00:44:33.960 --> 00:44:36.360 yeah and they work it around and they twist their 00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:40.119 words around to make it seem like you thought 00:44:40.119 --> 00:44:43.130 of it What we're trying to say is try to be more 00:44:43.130 --> 00:44:45.869 open -minded. We're not here to bash your religion. 00:44:45.889 --> 00:44:49.630 We're not here to bash your faith system. We're 00:44:49.630 --> 00:44:52.349 just trying to say to have an open mind and to 00:44:52.349 --> 00:44:55.369 look outward. You know, I was born and raised 00:44:55.369 --> 00:44:59.530 Catholic. And I was a sweet little Baptist. He 00:44:59.530 --> 00:45:02.079 was a sweet little Baptist boy. Yeah, so funny 00:45:02.079 --> 00:45:04.780 thing when I mentioned earlier about ChatGPT. 00:45:04.940 --> 00:45:06.639 Well, I do have to say, though, our funerals 00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:09.440 kick your funeral's ass. Oh, okay. Oh, there's 00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:13.039 drinking at a Catholic funeral. That's a sin. 00:45:13.420 --> 00:45:15.659 But at a Baptist funeral, somebody's bringing 00:45:15.659 --> 00:45:19.519 a barbecue. Can't say no to a good barbecue. 00:45:19.699 --> 00:45:23.099 Hell no. But I will say, ChatGPT, earlier, absolutely, 00:45:23.219 --> 00:45:26.000 the one that it expounded upon, and I'm not going 00:45:26.000 --> 00:45:29.599 to get into it, was absolutely the... religious 00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:33.940 end times and basically the idea of christian 00:45:33.940 --> 00:45:37.900 nationalism uh you know evangelical movements 00:45:37.900 --> 00:45:41.659 yeah the significance of the restoration of israel 00:45:41.659 --> 00:45:45.179 playing into things and in the end times it goes 00:45:45.179 --> 00:45:46.940 into a lot of stuff like that there's actually 00:45:46.940 --> 00:45:49.579 pretty much it blended together here like a full 00:45:49.579 --> 00:45:53.639 essay about all of this but that yeah the idea 00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:57.800 of that being The end of human civilization could 00:45:57.800 --> 00:46:01.219 absolutely be plausible considering the more 00:46:01.219 --> 00:46:06.079 we let our divides, our divides divide us, then 00:46:06.079 --> 00:46:09.079 we will be divided. Yeah. And isn't that just 00:46:09.079 --> 00:46:12.039 a poopy? Yeah. Would you say that Joel Osteen's 00:46:12.039 --> 00:46:14.880 probably the worst of the evangelicals? He literally, 00:46:14.960 --> 00:46:19.280 during a crisis, was living in a mansion that 00:46:19.280 --> 00:46:23.699 he then was reluctant to allow. refugees and 00:46:23.699 --> 00:46:26.400 people in crisis. Members of his own church. 00:46:26.599 --> 00:46:29.780 If your church and your house are bigger than 00:46:29.780 --> 00:46:34.880 some small towns, then you're not living Christianity 00:46:34.880 --> 00:46:38.480 the correct way. And even when Pope Francis first 00:46:38.480 --> 00:46:42.739 became the Pope, he did something that no other 00:46:42.739 --> 00:46:46.179 Pope has done, which was he asked questions. 00:46:46.780 --> 00:46:51.000 He asked the question of why do I have cardinals, 00:46:51.000 --> 00:46:55.670 bishops, Priests, members of my clergy, of God's 00:46:55.670 --> 00:46:58.289 clergy and God's church, why are they driving 00:46:58.289 --> 00:47:02.269 around in $100 ,000 plus cars, living in $100 00:47:02.269 --> 00:47:07.050 ,000 plus big homes, while most of our followers, 00:47:07.170 --> 00:47:09.250 most of the people that are in their parishes 00:47:09.250 --> 00:47:13.389 are living paycheck to paycheck. And now they 00:47:13.389 --> 00:47:16.989 peed pneumonia into his lungs. They finally had 00:47:16.989 --> 00:47:18.949 enough of him asking questions. They finally 00:47:18.949 --> 00:47:22.130 had enough of him preaching safe sex. He finally 00:47:22.130 --> 00:47:24.469 went down to Africa, the country most ravaged 00:47:24.469 --> 00:47:27.010 by AIDS, and said, you guys should use condoms. 00:47:27.289 --> 00:47:29.449 Yeah, which has always been my number one gripe 00:47:29.449 --> 00:47:32.269 with the Catholic Church and the Red Cross. It's 00:47:32.269 --> 00:47:35.289 very sad. So, yeah. Yeah, Pope Francis. You think 00:47:35.289 --> 00:47:37.789 now with the way the world things are going, 00:47:37.849 --> 00:47:39.530 you think we're going to get Nazi Pope 2 .0? 00:47:39.670 --> 00:47:41.650 I mean, I kind of feel like Elon Musk is just 00:47:41.650 --> 00:47:43.530 going to make himself Pope at some point. He's 00:47:43.530 --> 00:47:46.250 not Catholic. But does he have more money than 00:47:46.250 --> 00:47:48.170 the Vatican? He's not a genius, but he's good 00:47:48.170 --> 00:47:50.170 at pretending to be. So, I mean, he could also 00:47:50.170 --> 00:47:51.969 pretend to be Catholic. But does he have more 00:47:51.969 --> 00:47:53.710 money than the Vatican? It's hard to tell. We 00:47:53.710 --> 00:47:56.329 need to do an audit. Oh, God. Well, you can't 00:47:56.329 --> 00:47:59.010 do an audit on the Vatican. Ah, they pay no taxes. 00:47:59.329 --> 00:48:02.150 Do an audit of their finances. I don't know if 00:48:02.150 --> 00:48:06.070 the Vatican would open their coffers. Well, they 00:48:06.070 --> 00:48:07.969 never would. Just like we'll never know what 00:48:07.969 --> 00:48:09.989 Elon Musk is actually worth either. This is very 00:48:09.989 --> 00:48:12.139 true. This is all a side. So I would like to 00:48:12.139 --> 00:48:17.039 end today with ChatGPT's contribution to the 00:48:17.039 --> 00:48:20.199 narrative nature of this podcast. What do you 00:48:20.199 --> 00:48:23.000 got for us, ChatGPT? Lay it on me. So I asked 00:48:23.000 --> 00:48:26.460 her to write a short three paragraph story about 00:48:26.460 --> 00:48:30.960 Michael living through the doom of an apocalypse. 00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:34.440 So I am doom guy in her story. Great. Michael 00:48:34.440 --> 00:48:37.880 wiped the sweat from his brow, his hand sticky 00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:41.869 with soot from the ash laden air. The once blue 00:48:41.869 --> 00:48:45.309 sky was a sickly orange, its brightness dimmed 00:48:45.309 --> 00:48:47.889 by the unending wildfires that had consumed the 00:48:47.889 --> 00:48:51.590 forests of the Pacific Northwest. Why am I in 00:48:51.590 --> 00:48:54.150 the Pacific Northwest? Because you are. Dumbass, 00:48:54.150 --> 00:48:57.550 shut up. He stood atop the crumbled remains of 00:48:57.550 --> 00:49:00.489 an overpass, staring out at the jagged horizon, 00:49:00.909 --> 00:49:03.769 where abandoned cars stretched in every direction 00:49:03.769 --> 00:49:06.710 like tombstones in a graveyard. The temperature 00:49:06.710 --> 00:49:10.070 hadn't dropped below 100 degrees in weeks, and 00:49:10.070 --> 00:49:12.769 the rivers had long since dried to cracked, barren 00:49:12.769 --> 00:49:16.250 beds. Still, he carried his water ration carefully, 00:49:16.769 --> 00:49:20.190 counting every precious drop in the battered 00:49:20.190 --> 00:49:24.329 metal flask. It was probably full of urine. She 00:49:24.329 --> 00:49:26.590 didn't write that. This is Mike saying that, 00:49:26.670 --> 00:49:30.530 because he probably has a urine -filled canteen 00:49:30.530 --> 00:49:34.250 at this point. Each day was an exercise in survival. 00:49:34.860 --> 00:49:36.860 and Michael had learned the harsh rules of this 00:49:36.860 --> 00:49:41.219 dying world. He foraged what he could from derelict 00:49:41.219 --> 00:49:44.059 supermarkets now overrun with invasive plant 00:49:44.059 --> 00:49:46.980 life and the occasional scavenger more desperate 00:49:46.980 --> 00:49:50.260 than him. He avoided the roving gangs of hulks. 00:49:50.300 --> 00:49:53.880 Wait, that's a comic book. Roving gangs that 00:49:53.880 --> 00:49:56.260 patrolled the highways, their vehicles belching 00:49:56.260 --> 00:49:58.440 thick black smoke as they searched for supplies 00:49:58.440 --> 00:50:00.860 and victims alike. Oh, I'm in Mad Max, great. 00:50:01.179 --> 00:50:04.139 Yeah. The nights brought little solace. The heat 00:50:04.139 --> 00:50:06.900 lingered in with it, the eerie silence of an 00:50:06.900 --> 00:50:09.059 earth slowly suffocating under its own weight. 00:50:09.239 --> 00:50:12.260 Yet he kept moving, carrying with him a single 00:50:12.260 --> 00:50:16.260 photo of his family. That makes sense. A reminder 00:50:16.260 --> 00:50:18.820 of why he fought to outlast the unraveling. But 00:50:18.820 --> 00:50:21.340 as the days grew longer and his food stores thinner, 00:50:21.639 --> 00:50:24.159 Michael found himself questioning what survival 00:50:24.159 --> 00:50:27.429 even meant in a world like this. One afternoon, 00:50:27.630 --> 00:50:30.570 he stumbled upon a lone sapling growing in the 00:50:30.570 --> 00:50:34.210 middle of a dry riverbed. It was small, frail, 00:50:34.210 --> 00:50:37.170 and impossibly green, standing defiant against 00:50:37.170 --> 00:50:40.789 the barren backdrop. Michael knelt beside it, 00:50:40.829 --> 00:50:43.389 shielding it with his hands as if it were the 00:50:43.389 --> 00:50:46.489 last living thing on earth. For the first time 00:50:46.489 --> 00:50:48.670 in years, he felt something he had forgotten. 00:50:49.489 --> 00:50:53.949 An erection. But wait, no, actually no, it's 00:50:53.949 --> 00:50:57.889 hope. Yeah. And as the oppressive sun blazed 00:50:57.889 --> 00:51:01.369 down, he vowed to protect that fragile life, 00:51:01.510 --> 00:51:05.670 no matter the cost. He would fuck it to create 00:51:05.670 --> 00:51:10.829 a race of plant men. No! That's not what ChatGPT 00:51:10.829 --> 00:51:16.010 wrote. She wrote, if the world was ending, he'd 00:51:16.010 --> 00:51:21.409 at least make sure something began anew. The 00:51:21.409 --> 00:51:24.230 end. I mean, at least I come out somewhat heroic. 00:51:25.130 --> 00:51:28.969 Thanks, ChatGPT. Yeah, thanks, ChatGPT. Thank 00:51:28.969 --> 00:51:30.710 you for not putting me in a predicament like 00:51:30.710 --> 00:51:33.070 my only friend would like to put me in. Yeah, 00:51:33.110 --> 00:51:35.949 I had you drinking pee -pee. I don't sip piss. 00:51:36.590 --> 00:51:39.710 You'd be sipping piss in the apocalypse in Oregon. 00:51:40.329 --> 00:51:43.889 Why the fuck? That's the only thing. Why the 00:51:43.889 --> 00:51:45.210 fuck am I in the Pacific Northwest? Because you 00:51:45.210 --> 00:51:47.690 wanted to visit Nintendo of America's ruined 00:51:47.690 --> 00:51:50.230 headquarters after the apocalypse has come. To 00:51:50.230 --> 00:51:54.070 see if you could fuck Donkey Kong. Well, no, 00:51:54.130 --> 00:51:58.570 I'd try to fuck the corpse of Miyamoto. You want 00:51:58.570 --> 00:52:03.070 to necrophilatize the architect of our dreams? 00:52:03.250 --> 00:52:06.690 Of our childrenhoods? I mean, he wouldn't give 00:52:06.690 --> 00:52:13.969 my dad a job. Woohoo! If you enjoyed whatever 00:52:13.969 --> 00:52:17.230 stupid thing we just talked about, why not subscribe 00:52:17.230 --> 00:52:21.849 to this pit of despair? Or follow it? Or like 00:52:21.849 --> 00:52:25.099 it? It's fun. Whatever it is that you can do 00:52:25.099 --> 00:52:26.880 on whatever platform we've uploaded this to. 00:52:27.719 --> 00:52:31.139 If you have any suggestions for episodes or ideas 00:52:31.139 --> 00:52:34.460 or thoughts or anything you just want to get 00:52:34.460 --> 00:52:36.539 off your chest about a certain thing that we 00:52:36.539 --> 00:52:39.940 might have said, if we've enraged you, if we've 00:52:39.940 --> 00:52:44.320 possibly sexually harassed you, leave us a comment. 00:52:44.380 --> 00:52:47.260 And don't forget, you can email us at windbreakermedia 00:52:47.260 --> 00:52:50.139 at gmail .com. That's all one word. Please don't 00:52:50.139 --> 00:52:54.710 sue us. ChatGPT and I appreciate you not suing 00:52:54.710 --> 00:52:57.070 us, but you can sue the other one all you want. 00:52:57.210 --> 00:52:58.949 Wait, wait, what? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, 00:52:58.949 --> 00:53:01.849 no. You include no. See you all next time. The 00:53:01.849 --> 00:53:04.869 three of us, however, do appreciate you. Sue 00:53:04.869 --> 00:53:07.050 everyone. Sue no one.
