WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.240 Lippmann then began to draft the propaganda for the Allies 2 00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:06.960 during World War One. He thus assisted Woodrow Wilson in 3 00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:10.279 drawing up the fourteen points. Who did Woodrow Wilson work 4 00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:16.239 for the bankers? Read Colonel House, Colonel Edwin Mandel House, 5 00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:21.879 Woodrow Wilson, agent of the Banking League. At the same time, 6 00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:27.839 the budding science of Watsonian behaviorism provided Walter Lippmann with 7 00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:34.000 the principles to control and manipulate society. Now we enter 8 00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:40.079 the pre Burnet's stuff. Okay, this gets into Berne's manipulating 9 00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:43.640 public opinion. This is when Lippmann writes his landmark book 10 00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:48.200 Public Opinion. In nineteen twenty two, Lippmann claimed that psychologists 11 00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:57.920 had discovered the conditioned response behavior response stimulus response emotion 12 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:07.159 is not attached to any idea per se. So now, 13 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.000 in other words, man will just be treated as a 14 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:16.480 beast that can be controlled by a stimulus response enter 15 00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:23.280 in Skinner, be of Skinner and the research of Pavlov. 16 00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.400 All of these guys. Research is being used by these 17 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:30.640 people stimulus response. Stimulus response. 18 00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:32.920 Now enters in. 19 00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:40.319 Psychoanalysis and Freud the utilization of sexual imagery in advertising. 20 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:41.840 The utilization of. 21 00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:46.719 Stimulus response to manipulate emotions, the utilization of Freudian. 22 00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:50.040 Psychoanalysis. 23 00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:54.599 All of this begins to be utilized at the behest, 24 00:01:55.879 --> 00:02:00.640 not just of psychological warfare for military purposes, but application 25 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:15.400 to the domestic population through admin through TV, through mass media. 26 00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:21.000 Thus we see Freudian principles. 27 00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:27.280 We see all of these degenerate Skinnarian Pavlovian behaviorists Watsonian 28 00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:35.120 principles adopted, and the idea is, utilize these tricks to 29 00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:42.400 sell people on the new American ideology. We can thus 30 00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:49.240 utilize all these psyops tricks to debase the people to 31 00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:54.360 control their perception. Now we can reorient their whole perception 32 00:02:54.639 --> 00:03:00.719 of life, of the world, of religion, the church, America, Americanism. 33 00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:08.159 In other words, they had mastered social engineering by this 34 00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:18.000 time culture creation, creating toxic culture. Thus, by the time 35 00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:21.439 that he had set up Time Magazine and got it going, 36 00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:23.680 and by the time it became like the pre eminent 37 00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:28.639 tool of telling America what America is and how to 38 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:35.360 believe in, how to think, Time Magazine basically became an 39 00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:41.159 empire which was able to control perception through the control 40 00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:50.919 of information. This allows later on other entities to rise 41 00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:57.759 to power like the Rand Corporation, other think tanks and 42 00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:03.680 NGOs which are also able to now contribute to the 43 00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:08.400 steering of the American ideology, redefining America as the Rank 44 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:13.639 Corporation does, from being a production economy to a service economy, 45 00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:19.279 from creating a production based economy to a consumer coomer. 46 00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:22.920 Culture consumer. 47 00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:29.639 All created by Rand Corporation, even to the extent of 48 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:35.279 how to convince people that they are atomistic individuals, and 49 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:39.560 as an atomistic individual their life could be fulfilled by 50 00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:49.279 instantaneous pleasure principle being satiated through consumerism. It's all bs 51 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:53.480 and it's all a trick, all of it. What does 52 00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.800 alex Obea memory covered Alexabea's Soldiers of Reason History of 53 00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:02.000 the Rancorporation says, if you reject or disagree with any 54 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:05.279 of Americanism, then you reject the disagree with the Rand 55 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:09.600 Corporation because the Rand Corporation is who created modern America. 56 00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:17.480 So you've been sold bullshit. It's not true. It's a lie. 57 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:26.879 It's all based on pragmatism, atheism, liberalism, skinarianism, Pablovianism, Watsonianism, materialism, 58 00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.120 and it's all a lie. And they even say it 59 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:34.000 doesn't matter if it's true or false, because it's used 60 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:39.360 to control you. That's what the architects of this bullshit say. 61 00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:41.519 Do you understand that. 62 00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:53.680 The new gospel, the new ideology, would be the quote 63 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:55.120 great liberal tradition. 64 00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:58.800 This was something that Henry Loce made up. 65 00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.000 So we got to give an embodiment to a tradition 66 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:09.600 so that America can accept what America is, to redefine America, 67 00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.560 not that it wasn't already liberal, but to redefine it 68 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:15.600 in such a way that it could be used as 69 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.360 an engine of the wasp, skull and bones establishment. 70 00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:25.360 What does he come up with? The liberal tradition? What 71 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:35.120 is this? Let's let Henry Loose himself explain what this is. 72 00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:44.480 Lu said, America is the supreme embodiment of the tradition. 73 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:48.800 Garibaldi wrote that Abraham Lincoln spoke of our country as 74 00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:53.720 the apostle of liberty, the harbinger of progress. Note the 75 00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:56.240 religious language, the apostle of liberty. 76 00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:57.959 This is loose. 77 00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:02.040 Still, America is the great and magnetic hope and example 78 00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:04.680 for the world. It will draw to herself all who 79 00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:09.720 wish to make Europe at last beautiful and free, the 80 00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:12.920 last great effort being made to establish the liberal tradition 81 00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:17.879 that is political freedom, equality justice, freedom of thought, freedom 82 00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:22.519 of opinion, common decency, the rights of men and women. 83 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:25.759 Excuse me, common decency, the rights of men and men. 84 00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:30.600 It is a very close battle. The odds are as 85 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.879 far as we can see, about fifty to fifty. So 86 00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:37.720 he's saying this, I guess right before like World War two. Right, 87 00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:43.600 So basically it's just saying that America is the only 88 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:50.519 hope for the world. The American mythos is French revolutionary 89 00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:53.120 enlightenment BS. 90 00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:57.920 Generic things. Freedom of. 91 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:04.639 Is freedom of political freedom, freedom of ideas, equal justice, 92 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:09.759 freedom of opinion, common decency. 93 00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:11.959 What are you talking about? Right? 94 00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:15.040 But again, remember from the propaganda standpoint, one of the 95 00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:15.879 basic rules of. 96 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:16.759 Propaganda is. 97 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:23.000 Use the most generic possible slogans because that allows everybody 98 00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:25.040 to interpret the slogans anyway they want. 99 00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:25.439 Right. 100 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:27.519 You don't want to use a lot of high level 101 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:29.920 precision in your propaganda. 102 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:32.159 Just keep it dumb, dude, because the. 103 00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:35.759 More generic and catchy it is, the easier it is 104 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:38.960 to bring people in because they can read into it 105 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:39.679 whatever they want. 106 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:42.240 Right. Just think of the social justice. 107 00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:45.759 Type things, right, same principle here. All the social justice 108 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:54.240 stuff is is the latest incarnation of this stuff. Loose 109 00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:57.840 believe that the United States Constitution is the Liberal tradition. 110 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.159 As a corollary of his belief in the Constitution, Henry 111 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:07.480 Luce believed that business is essentially civilization. Business is life. Yes, 112 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:10.639 you heard me, business church. You think I'm joking when 113 00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:13.120 I talk about business church, I'm not joking when I 114 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.759 talk about I'm saying that the real church is Business 115 00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:27.519 is mannon so here, through media is one of the 116 00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:33.000 most powerful men in the world at this time, the 117 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:36.960 voice of skull and Bones, the voice of the oss, 118 00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:46.799 the projector of the four Freedoms to the world, essentially 119 00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:57.559 saying that Leo the thirteen, in his encyclical condemning the 120 00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:02.919 Enlightenment principles, has to go away. The new freedoms that 121 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:12.200 must be accepted. Uh, oh, guess what they're the freedoms liberty, equality, fraternity, 122 00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:15.960 social justice. 123 00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:19.960 Where have we heard that before? Oh, that's the Masonic freedoms. 124 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:21.639 And if he's in. 125 00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:25.080 Skulling bones, what is skull and bones? Oh, that's Lodge 126 00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:30.840 three two two. Lodge three two two is the Germanic 127 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:34.159 order of skull and Bones. The lodge of skull and 128 00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:41.200 Bones originates there, which is teaching the four freedoms of freemasonry, 129 00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:48.000 condemned by Potelar the thirteenth. So notice American Enlightenment Freemasonry 130 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:53.039 embodied in the skull and Bones dictum, the four freedoms. 131 00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.159 Henry Loose is oss oss is skull and bones. Henry 132 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:00.960 Loos is skull and bones, Skull and bone lodge three 133 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:06.799 to two to two. That's masonic. It's not rocket. 134 00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:09.159 Science we're doing here. It's not that hard to figure out. 135 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:14.320 Next we have to talk about we're at two hours. 136 00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:18.919 But next we have to talk about Halfred mckinder, the 137 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:26.080 Heartland Theory, the classic geopolitical analysis, the Milner Group, Rhodes 138 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:29.639 Rothschild Milner, the Society of the Elect that's the secret 139 00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:33.440 society that was set up to create the Anglo American 140 00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:36.759 Empire establishment. We will go into his chapter on this, 141 00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:40.200 but basically this is just a chapter summarizing what you 142 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:42.720 heard me do on my lectures on If you've not 143 00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:46.919 heard the quickly Tragian Hope and Anglo American Establishment lectures, 144 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:49.399 go listen to those. Subscribe at my site to hear 145 00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:53.039 all those. But that will be where he goes next 146 00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:58.080 and he will talk about the birth of the Anglo 147 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:05.799 American project prior to World War One with Rawchild, Rhodes Milner, 148 00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:10.399 the Roundtable groups. This will be the plan not just 149 00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:16.440 for the waning British imperium, but the packs Americana to 150 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:21.559 take over, to be the engine of the Anglo American establishment. 151 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:28.159 And yes, the State of Israel will play a role 152 00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:33.519 in that. Obviously, Remember the British Empire was already a 153 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:34.840 world power prior. 154 00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:36.519 To the establishment of the State of Israel. 155 00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:39.080 Yes, I know about the Balfour Declaration, I know about 156 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:40.039 Sykes Pico Treaty. 157 00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:40.919 I know about all that stuff. 158 00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:44.000 We'll get to that, but suffice to say that for 159 00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:47.600 part one, we will end it there because we've covered 160 00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:48.639 a lot of meat here. 161 00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:50.480 But I hope you get the point here. 162 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:53.720 The point of what we're saying with this is that 163 00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:57.840 it's not as simple as saying that like the Vatican 164 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:03.080 was subverted by Freemasons. Venari's Ault of Indida document shows 165 00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:07.120 that the Alt of Indida Lodge took over the papacy. 166 00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:09.279 It's it's more than that. 167 00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:14.559 Okay, there's power players like the Anglo American establishment, the CIA, 168 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:18.799 who co opt openly the Roman Catholic Church. We don't 169 00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:23.279 have to resort to up to obscure Masonic conspiracies. We 170 00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:31.200 already know what happened, okay, and it's clear in this book. So, uh, 171 00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:33.519 we're gonna do this book next. We're gonna we're gonna 172 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:37.240 work our way through all of it. Please, if you 173 00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.600 do want to get into it, I recommend the book. 174 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:41.240 I know not everybody has time to read an eight 175 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:45.279 hundred page book, but definitely, Uh, it's eight hundred pages, 176 00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:49.559 one thousand plus footnotes. We're gonna be getting into the CFR, 177 00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:52.519 We're gonna be getting into Cold War. We're gonna be 178 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.919 getting into Russia. We're gonna be getting into radio liberty 179 00:13:57.519 --> 00:14:00.159 now that's a CIA operation during the Cold War, or 180 00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.639 how it's related to the Callolic Church, spies and high 181 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:06.200 places we're gonna get in. I mean, this book is wild. 182 00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:07.919 We're gonna get into Hollywood. There's a whole section of 183 00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:13.039 this book on Hollywood. So it's bigger than we oftentimes assume, 184 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:17.919 and it does the convenient narrative of one bad guy 185 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:20.679 is not true, and the trads are just going to 186 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:23.799 have to come to grips with that. Or they can 187 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:28.799 just continue melting away in their collapsing entity known as 188 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:30.759 the Roman Calluy Church if they choose to that's what 189 00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:31.320 they want to do. 190 00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:34.679 So I said that we would do also Q and A. 191 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:37.919 So I'm in a good mood and I'm enjoying talking 192 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:42.200 about this material. And if anybody wants to hop on 193 00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:47.360 in the discord, feel free to. You can go into 194 00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:50.159 the discord and ask questions about the material that we 195 00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:51.639 covered today, theological questions. 196 00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:53.320 I don't care what you want to talk about. 197 00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:57.440 If you get too ridiculous, I'll just kick you out. 198 00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:00.320 So don't waste my time or anybody's time with stupid stuff. 199 00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:05.759 So let me pull up the discord here as I 200 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:08.519 answer the superchats. So we got a few superchats here. 201 00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:18.519 Thank you guys for those superchats. So m curry, we 202 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:32.080 explained what wasp was. Ross, thank you for that twenty dollars. 203 00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:36.879 Nice twenty bucks from old Ross there. I don't know 204 00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:40.600 who Ross is, but thank you Ross.

Let's get ten bucks from every letter 207 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:50.919 in the alphabet and then we'll be set for this week. 208 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:57.799 Compay all the bills. Schopenhauer's bunny. I like that Schopenhower's bunny. 209 00:15:57.840 --> 00:15:59.480 I don't have a question. I just wanted to support 210 00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:05.600 you much appreciated. Thank you for that taco three dollars. 211 00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:10.480 Great information. But do impressions more often now we typically 212 00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:13.519 kind of divide the streams up, you know, like what 213 00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:16.240 We're gonna be doing a soprano stream pretty soon, so 214 00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:18.360 that will be rife with impressions. I'm gonna try to 215 00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:21.480 impress I present everybody. I've got Polly Good, I've got 216 00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:23.279 Tony Good, I've got Christopher pretty good. 217 00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:25.120 Uh. 218 00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:28.799 I guess that's like the main ones. But yeah, so. 219 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.919 We'll have a lot of fun with that sopranos analysis 220 00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:36.399 because that was it was great shows on my favorite shows. 221 00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:38.759 I loved it. I was happy with the ending. I 222 00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:39.919 thought it ended really cool. 223 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:45.519 Anyway, So when we do that or when we do 224 00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:49.840 the more jokey streams, there's a lot more impressions in those. 225 00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:52.840 So but thank you for that three dollars taco jack 226 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:56.080 for three bucks, say is what is the purpose of 227 00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:59.960 riots and violence? This is a strategy of control Ko. 228 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:02.919 So if you read there's. 229 00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:07.680 A great essay at Global Research by Andrew Marshall, young 230 00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:10.799 guy around my age, but he wrote a book or 231 00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:13.720 a long essay called Arc of Crisis, and it's about 232 00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:17.720 Brazinski's model of control chaos. So if you want to 233 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:21.440 understand the purpose of riots and violence, go read Andrew 234 00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:27.359 Marshall's essay Arc of Crisis about Brazenski. But essentially it 235 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:37.599 just serves to propel thesis, antithesis, synthesis. Right, Dorman three sixty, 236 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.519 you may be right about the subversion of the Latins, 237 00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:44.960 but you're too mean to debate. Yeah, sure, okay, thank you, 238 00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:46.039 Dorman three sixty. 239 00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:47.960 I'll take that. I'm too mean, you know whatever. 240 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:51.559 Hey, we just had trads all day hanging out in 241 00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:56.599 my discord. Nobody got mad. It was perfectly civil. We 242 00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:00.440 talked for three hours to multiple two least two or 243 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:04.400 three different trades. So it's not the case that everybody 244 00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:07.039 is that I'm mean to everybody. 245 00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:09.440 All this kind of nonsense. And imagine the people who 246 00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:09.720 are the. 247 00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:12.720 Old we're the Church of the Crusaders, We're the crusading Knights. 248 00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:15.079 And then you turn around and your butt hurt because 249 00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:17.839 supposedly I'm mean. I thought you were a crusader. Bro 250 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:21.160 I thought you're a crusader. You're LARPing as a knight, 251 00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:22.680 but you're mad because I'm mean. 252 00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:25.279 All right, So there's a super chat. So we got 253 00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:26.720 four hundred people. Welcome everybody. 254 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:28.680 Thank you for those and feel free to uh yeah, 255 00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:32.519 you're gonna like the Paul impression. It's it's gonna be 256 00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:35.240 on point. But we'll save that for the soprano string 257 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:38.279 that Jamie and I will do. So come to the 258 00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:41.799 general chat in the discord if you want to let 259 00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:44.799 me add the discord here. We'll probably get an influx 260 00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:48.480 of lunatics. Not everybody. I love you guys, you're not 261 00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:52.039 a lunatics, but I'm sure some of you guys are lunatics. 262 00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:54.240 So we'll have to vet the lunatics out of here. 263 00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:03.799 So get the discord link ready and then I'll open 264 00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:07.519 up discord here and we can do a Q and a. 265 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:10.640 M h. 266 00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:14.440 M hmm. 267 00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:26.200 All right. Gredo are you there? Yes, I am Grado. 268 00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:29.119 He's a good friend from Australia. 269 00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:32.920 I'm here to ask ask the questions and getting them. 270 00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:33.880 Tell you yeah. 271 00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:37.960 Here, he's here to do his best Mail Gibson impression. 272 00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:42.039 He's doing Meil Gibson, Meil Gibson impassinating Grido. 273 00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:46.160 If I do it Mel Gibson impersonation, they'll shut down 274 00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:47.839 the discord and ban you from YouTube. 275 00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:53.079 Okay, Well, in that case, is there anybody who wants 276 00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:54.920 to do Q and A. If not, we don't have to. 277 00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:57.400 But if there is, is there anybody. 278 00:19:58.519 --> 00:20:00.440 Uh kind of. 279 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:01.640 Have a few questions? 280 00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:14.039 Okay, j Ashtown, Yes you can ask them. 281 00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:22.440 Okay, Yeah, you were talking about natural law and like 282 00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:27.119 something and not really too familiar with the issue. If 283 00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:31.559 you could just swing quickly what's wrong exactly with natural. 284 00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:33.240 Raw and what you're like? 285 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.839 The Orthodox position is that that it'd be that would 286 00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:40.880 be dandy, all right. 287 00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:46.039 So the easiest best explanation for this is I'm gonna 288 00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:46.599 tell you too. 289 00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:46.839 Now. 290 00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:49.480 I've got it linked at my website. There's there's one chapter. 291 00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:55.880 It's an essay called uh Knowledge. It's called the Knowledge 292 00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:00.599 the Theory of Knowledge of Saint Isaac the Syrian. Okay, 293 00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:04.759 and this is an essay that is in this excellent book. 294 00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:08.039 I recommend the whole book of Orthodox Faith in Life 295 00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:11.559 in Christ by Saint Justin Popovich, because he not only 296 00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:15.519 does he critique the papacy and the humanism of the papacy. 297 00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:17.000 But he has a whole. 298 00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:19.759 Chapter called the Theory of Knowledge of Isaac the Syrian, 299 00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:23.319 and Isaac the Syrian, who is obviously a saint the 300 00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:27.359 Orthodox Church, has the same epistemology as Saint Maximus. So 301 00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:30.599 the doctrine is based on the doctrine of the Logi. 302 00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:33.079 And so what he's going to do in this. 303 00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:36.240 Chapter is talk about how as Orthodox we don't have 304 00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:40.720 the tonistic doctrine of natural theology because Maximus doesn't teach 305 00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:43.079 natural theology. So what we're saying here is not that 306 00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:46.599 there's no such thing as nature. It's not that nature 307 00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:50.720 doesn't teach us God. It's that nature doesn't teach us 308 00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:55.200 generic theism. Nature teaches us Christ. And no one who 309 00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:59.960 believes in natural theology believes that nature teaches Jesus because 310 00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:06.000 Jesus the Trinity. All that stuff in Tomism is an afterthought. 311 00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:09.319 That's something that you prove after you've proven and stacked 312 00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:11.359 up this stuff of natural theology. 313 00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:12.880 So what is natural theology? 314 00:22:13.160 --> 00:22:17.440 Natural theology is autonomous man reasoning an in a sphere 315 00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:22.039 apart from revelation. According to Fetus at ratio of John 316 00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:24.720 Paul the I, it's not based on revelation. It makes 317 00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:29.079 no reference to reveal theology. It's man reasoning only from 318 00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:31.559 created mental principles about the world. 319 00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:33.240 So we're gonna. 320 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:37.240 Reason about the external world, causation, te loos, purpose, the 321 00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:39.640 beginning of the world, et cetera, how it came to be. 322 00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:43.519 And it's all a bunch of nonsense. Why because it 323 00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:47.519 starts with the peripatetic axiom that nothing is in the 324 00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:52.200 intellect that's not first in the senses. Okay, that no 325 00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:55.960 one can defend that position anymore, because at the time 326 00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:59.960 of the Enlightenment it gets critiqued into devastation, it gets destroyed. 327 00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:02.559 Now, how can I prove all this very easily? 328 00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:07.720 Can you interpret the world as it is right now 329 00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:13.559 without making reference to the fall? Now, if you believe 330 00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:18.240 in natural theology, yes, you can derive all these principles 331 00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:21.519 about the operation of the natural world merely. 332 00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:25.960 By sense data, without any reference to revelation. So but 333 00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:26.640 wait a minute. 334 00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:28.720 When I do that and I look out at the world, 335 00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:32.400 I notice there's things like death and decay, predator and prey. 336 00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:40.079 Is the predator prey slash death feature of the world natural? Now, 337 00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:43.640 most Thomas are probably going to say something like, yes, 338 00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:47.680 there's a natural process that occurs in relationship to death. 339 00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:54.240 Now, well, wait a minute, Paul says, death is the enemy. 340 00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:59.480 Death entered because of the fall. So you can't interpret 341 00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:03.160 the world as it is right now without the doctrine 342 00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:07.119 of revelation, namely that it was created and that the 343 00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:09.279 reason that the world is in the state that it 344 00:24:09.319 --> 00:24:12.839 is right now is because of the fall. So the predator, prey, 345 00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:20.839 death aspect of the world is not natural. Thus, Saint 346 00:24:20.920 --> 00:24:25.880 Maximus can say, grace and virtue are the most natural 347 00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:29.079 things to man. There's nothing more natural to man than grace. 348 00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:34.359 So we don't have this nature grace dichotomy that they have. 349 00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:38.960 We don't have this natural theology revealed theology type of system. 350 00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:44.279 The natural world is the same content as revealed theology. 351 00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:47.799 It's just two different modes. So what's the meaning of 352 00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:50.720 scripture the logi of Christ. What's the meaning of the 353 00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:54.079 natural world the logi of Christ? How do they differ? 354 00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:57.119 It's two different modes or mediums or methods. So the 355 00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:01.200 Bible is a bunch of written texts about Jesus. Ultimately, 356 00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:05.400 the natural world is a bunch of animals and sticks 357 00:25:05.400 --> 00:25:09.400 and birds and stones about Jesus. That's what Maximus teaches. 358 00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:11.799 That's the whole point of the Logi doctrine. That's the 359 00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:15.599 whole point of this chapter about the Logi doctrine, that 360 00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:21.240 it's not natural theology from Tunism. Does that make sense? 361 00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:24.519 Yeah? 362 00:25:24.640 --> 00:25:26.119 No, I think I get a little bit of that. 363 00:25:28.799 --> 00:25:33.039 So the very first chapter of Experience of God by 364 00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:39.200 stun Eloy, he starts his systematic theology with this what 365 00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:45.000 I'm saying for the Orthodox there is no distinction between 366 00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:51.440 supernatural grace and nature per se. There is a distinction, 367 00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:53.519 but not a distinction the way that the Roman Catholics 368 00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:53.799 say it. 369 00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:56.839 We don't believe in natural theology. He says, it's. 370 00:25:56.519 --> 00:25:59.799 More appropriate to call what we believe in natural revelation. 371 00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:02.000 And he says, how is that the case? 372 00:26:02.039 --> 00:26:02.880 Where does he go to? 373 00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:07.000 First Maximus? The first thing he appeals to is Maximus 374 00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:11.160 and the Logi. Because nature is not an uninterpreted brute 375 00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:15.599 fact that comes to you without any theory. Nature is 376 00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:18.920 what the Logos created it to be. Therefore, it can 377 00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:23.000 only be interpreted and understood according to its logie in Christ. 378 00:26:24.119 --> 00:26:29.759 So it's impossible to believe in natural theology. Hence wistan 379 00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:34.279 Neela correctly calls it natural revelation. I mean, another way 380 00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:37.039 I can prove this is that if you believe in 381 00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:41.519 natural theology, then you literally believe you literally believe that. 382 00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:47.079 In Romans One, when Paul talks about the knowledge of 383 00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:51.839 God that all men possess, they literally execute that as 384 00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:57.799 Aristotelian syllogisms. No, Paul is not talking about Aristotelian syllogisms 385 00:26:57.799 --> 00:27:01.200 and Romans one, he's talking about the news. The heart 386 00:27:01.279 --> 00:27:04.799 of man is guilty because all men know in their 387 00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:07.680 hearts that there's one true God. Has nothing to do 388 00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:11.799 with Aristotle syllogisms. And so the whole tonistic exegesis of 389 00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:13.799 what Romans one is talking about is absurd. 390 00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:26.960 Thank you, j Sorry, I was gonna make it a question. 391 00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:30.079 How do we define all hard was going to say, Jay, 392 00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:31.200 how do we define. 393 00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:34.920 God's omnipotence and orthodoxy so that the ability to cause 394 00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:38.720 to find persons is us not held by all the 395 00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:39.799 members of the Trinity. 396 00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:41.640 Oh, that's a good question. 397 00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:45.720 Yeah, So somebody might say sometimes Thomas say this, They say. 398 00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:50.119 Every or even I've even heard Muslims make this argument. 399 00:27:50.119 --> 00:27:52.960 They'll say that every person in the Trinity has to 400 00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:57.000 have everything in common or one of them would lack. So, 401 00:27:57.119 --> 00:28:00.640
