ve you, how many of you have heard the argument that TikTok should be banned? Go. You watch the news. Have you ever heard the argument that it should? Mostly yeses right? Yes yes yes. All right now I'm going to open up the mechanism again like we did before about who packed the boxes. I'm going to open, you're going to see the mechanism again. Who's arguing to keep TikTok legal? Name their names.…

That's not why you're doing it. You're doing it because you want a gun or you don't want a gun. That's it right? Now you might want a gun to protect yourself against your government but it's still just wanting a gun to feel that you're safer.
So the same thing with porn. If you say porn should be banned what does that do to the person who can't get access to humans? Is that fair? Because if you're looking at porn from the perspective of someone who can get sex in the real world that's not fair. That's not fair at all. If you're married and you're getting everything you like and you're telling me that you know not me but you're telling somebody else that they can't have porn because your sex life is good well the only thing I could say is ironic. You it's ironic because they're having sex. Yeah no don't tell people who can't get sex that they can't have porn if you can fix it so they can have sex. Well then maybe your opinion that they shouldn't have porn is something I'd listen to. But until most people can have access to sex in some kind of a timely useful way which is not even close to where we are I think you got to give people options.
Now is it true that porn ruins marriages? I don't know. I'll tell you what it does. It changes the balance of power. So I believe that marriages stay together when the woman has all the power meaning that she can control the man completely. That's your stable situation. As soon as the man discovers that he can get off without the wife with porn suddenly her power diminishes and he doesn't need to listen to her so much because he's not getting sex there anyway. So I think porn changes the balance of power in a way that's very bad for women. It might be bad for men too that would be a separate question. But I think women want to ban it because this definitely reduces their power and it increases the power of men because they have an option that doesn't require being nice to women to get sex. And that's a very big thing. And men don't say that out loud by the way but porn is the substitute for shitty women. Sorry porn is the direct substitute for shitty women. And the percentage of shitty women is at an all-time high.
Now you might say to me Scott the percentage of shitty men is at an all-time high and I don't know might be I wouldn't deny it but it's absolutely true that the percentage of women who are shitty is at an all-time high. Probably true for men. Maybe it's just true for people. I don't know but I don't you know my vision on this is sort of limited so I'll admit that but it's true.
And here's why. Everybody is getting too picky about everything right? Too picky about everything. Imagine being my age and finding you know somebody who's within 35 years of dating age. I like to have a broad range. Imagine me finding anybody within 35 years of my dating age who doesn't have so many preferences that it's really hard to manage them at the same time. Imagine that.
So somebody says lots of men are weaker and feminized now. Yeah there is something to that. I don't know what it is. Shut up Bart.
Now when I say oh no would I say that everybody's too picky I don't mean just women I mean people. And I think it's because we have so many things that we can access. Have you ever tried to watch a TV or movie with another person? Here's me trying to watch a movie with another person in 1986 right? This is my impression of wanting to watch a movie with another person in 1986.
Hey you want to go see a movie? Sure what's playing? Yeah we've got three choices. Yeah they all sound pretty good. Why don't you pick one? Yeah all right we'll probably watch all three but let's watch this one today. Okay. And then you get some popcorn and you maybe you hug curl up watch a great show. That's 1986.
Now here is 2022 trying to get somebody to watch a show. Hey you want to watch a movie? I don't know is there anything out? Yeah there's tons of movies out. So many it's going to be hard for us to find one that we agree on. How about this new Thor movie? Oh yeah that was great I just watched it on my phone. Oh okay well how about Top Gun? Top Gun that we all agree on Top Gun right? Yeah yeah just saw it. All right two hours later you've picked a movie and you watch it and it's way too boring because your attention span has changed and you can't even tolerate it. One of you will bail out of the movie before it's over. When was the last time you sat down with one other person to watch a movie and one of you didn't want to bail out of the movie before it was over?
In the old days I used to watch the whole movie even if it wasn't perfect and I didn't care that much but today I will bail out of a movie the moment somebody's tied to a chair or an animal is endangered. So I have two hard rules of turning off the show. If somebody's tied to a chair or there's an animal in danger in any way. The other times then there's a bunch of times that I have to fast forward. So as soon as there's the male and the female usually in the traditional movie the male and female are like getting together and they're showing love for each other and you know that the next 10 minutes of your movie will be you being convinced that they're really in love so that when something bad happens you'll feel bad. And I say to myself having sex. Got it got it got it got it done. I can't even watch a movie without fast forwarding through all the scenes that are establishing something that I already got. It's a dangerous situation. Got it. Fast forward fast forward. You get a torture for information. You can have a conversation with that confidential source. Got it. Got some information that'll tell you where to go. Don't need to know the rest. There you are. You found the guy and it looks like there's a bunch of bad people in the room. Oh there's one hero and a bunch of bad peop

le in the room. I wonder what's going to happen. Could it be a fight? Would it be a fight? Yes it's a fight. Will the hero beat up all the people in the room? Fast forward. Hero's beating up the people in the room and the action is so fast I can't really see it anyway. It's just going to be a bunch of images on the screen for a bunch of minutes and noise and okay that's over. How do you watch a m…
