Keywords

💡Équilibre entre le bien et le mal

Le concept d'équilibre entre le bien et le mal est évoqué pour décrire la complexité de la réalité humaine où coexistent des forces opposées. Dans le script, il est question d'un 'weird battle going on with human beings', illustrant comment les actions humaines peuvent être à la fois constructives et destructrices, ce qui est central au thème de la discussion sur la nature de l'humanité.

💡Guerre cyclique

La 'cyclical War' fait référence à l'idée que les conflits armés se répètent dans l'histoire, malgré les leçons tirées du passé. Le script critique l'inutilité de la guerre dans un monde éduqué et connecté, où 'there's no reason why...we should be willing as a people, groups of people to ever invade other places', soulignant le désespoir face à la persistance de la violence.

💡Communication mondiale

Le script met en avant l'importance de la 'communication that human beings have with each other around the world' comme un moyen potentiel de prévenir les conflits. Il suggère que grâce à une communication adéquate, les gens pourraient 'reasonably communicate and share goods and ideas', ce qui est crucial pour promouvoir la paix et la coopération internationale.

💡Commerce international

L'idée de commerce international est abordée comme un moyen de favoriser la compréhension et la paix entre les nations. Le script parle d'un système où 'I sell to you you sell to me everybody gets along', ce qui illustre comment l'interdépendance économique peut être un puissant lien social et un facteur de stabilité mondiale.

💡Méfiance envers le complexe militaro-industriel

Le 'military-industrial complex' est mentionné comme une entité qui pourrait potentiellement pousser les conflits trop loin, comme le suggère l'expression 'greedy [__] under the boot of the military-industrial complex'. Cela soulève des inquiétudes sur l'influence des intérêts militaires et industriels sur les politiques de guerre et de paix.

💡Proliferation nucléaire

La 'proliferation nucléaire' est un concept clé dans le script, abordé à travers la discussion sur la facilité avec laquelle la puissance nucléaire peut être transformée en armes. L'exemple de l'Inde et de la manière dont la connaissance nucléaire a été partagée illustre les dangers d'une telle diffusion, qui conduit à une augmentation des risques de conflit nucléaire.

💡Détention des armes nucléaires

Le script discute de la possession d'armes nucléaires par différents pays, y compris la Corée du Nord, avec des inquiétudes sur la capacité de ces pays à utiliser ces armes. La mention de 'North Korea has nukes' soulève la question de la stabilité mondiale et des conséquences potentielles d'un usage militaire de ces armes.

💡Diplomatie et influence culturelle

Le script évoque la possibilité d'utiliser des figures publiques, telles que Dennis Rodman, pour améliorer les relations internationales, ce qui illustre l'importance de la diplomatie et de l'influence culturelle dans la résolution des conflits. L'idée que 'Dennis Rodman can be the official envoy' montre comment des liens personnels et culturels peuvent jouer un rôle dans la politique internationale.

💡Oppression et liberté

Le script aborde la question de l'oppression dans certains régimes, en particulier en Corée du Nord, où 'the power that that one guy has and that government has over their people' est évoqué. Cela soulève des questions sur la liberté individuelle et les droits humains, ainsi que sur les efforts pour promouvoir la liberté dans le monde.

💡Propagande et contrôle de l'information

Le script mentionne la propagande et le contrôle de l'information comme des outils utilisés par certains gouvernements pour maintenir le pouvoir, comme en Corée du Nord où 'it's all propaganda'. Cela met en lumière les enjeux liés à la vérité et à la désinformation dans le contexte de la gouvernance et de la résolution des conflits.

Transcripts

The jogan Experience there's a lot going

on that's evil there's good and there's

evil and it's real and there's this

weird battle going on with human beings

and I think that battle almost has to

take place to motivate people to be

better you think that's where there's

war cyclical War there's no reason why

it should exist today there's no reason

why as educated as we are in history

that we should be willing as a people

groups of people to ever invade other

places to steal their resources there's

no way we should be doing that at this

point with the kind of communication

that human hes human beings have with

each other around the world there should

be a way to reasonably communicate and

share goods and ideas and compete and

take part in each other's Commerce I

sell to you you sell to me everybody

gets along this should be totally doable

in 2024 the fact that it's not and that

no one thinks it's ever going to be is

what's terrifying about being a person

because that's the thing that keeps you

up at night the thing like if if one of

these [ __ ] [ __ ] one of these

greedy [ __ ] that's under the boot

of the military-industrial complex

decides to push it a little too far and

someone decides to shoot a nuke off and

then we're in this new thing where

cities could just disappear you know

it's not not just a September 11th where

two buildings disappear and a bunch of

people died and it's a horrible tragedy

no no no the whole city gone boom one

city down now shut the [ __ ] up or will

bomb all your cities now your power

doesn't work anymore oh no where do you

get your ice well you better go back to

the old ways get a [ __ ] ice pit

because you don't have electricity

anymore that's not hard to do like

someone could take out her electrical

grid pretty [ __ ] easy and these

[ __ ] that are in charge of the world

in all countries that are still playing

this [ __ ] game of maybe we'll kill

you all yeah it's like a big game of

chicken and there's no like when we were

kids I don't know if that this happened

in your school but like we had drills we

had nuclear war drills and like it was a

daytoday existential worry that people

didn't sleep because of nukes those same

[ __ ] nukes are tenfold today in terms

of the arsenals and way more people have

them way more countries have them and

there's way more when you look at what's

going on in the Middle East like that is

a [ __ ] that that is going to explode

at some point and it's going to happen

fast because there's all these alliances

where if if one country does it eight

others are going to do it the same day

Peter T was talking about that that it's

the ultimate dilemma when it comes to

nuclear power because nuclear power is

more efficient than other power and it's

actually Greener it's probably safer for

the environment especially with the kind

of nuclear reactors are capable of BU

building and designing today but they

didn't realize that if you give someone

nuclear power it's really easy to turn

that into nuclear weapons they thought

it was a lot harder than it was and they

did it for India and he was saying then

they realized like India got the nuclear

weapon it's like oh okay so now we can't

just give everybody nuclear power

because then you have everybody has

nuclear weapons and what if it's some

[ __ ] warlord who's on amphetamines in

the middle of the Congo he decides he's

going to Nuke his neighbor you know

people can get crazy yeah especially if

they have a lot of money you know

they're selling drugs they they're

they're kidnapping people whatever

they're doing got a lot of money and now

they have a nuclear weapon North Korea

man once North Korea has it it's a

[ __ ] they have it do they yes nor

North Korea has nukes no [ __ ] oh they

don't have the long range uh Delivery

Systems they say they do now yeah who

knows um but they there was a a famous

nuclear bomb that went off that they

kind of denied in North Korea a while

back what was that they think it might

have been an

accident it's hard to tell you know cuz

North North K is pretty tight with their

propaganda but I remember there there

was some nuclear detonation was detected

in the mountains and they were trying to

figure out if it was on purpose or if it

was a underground thing like because

they do underground nukes too which is

crazy yeah just may trigger an

earthquake but let's find out let's just

detonate a nuke a mile under the surface

of the Earth [ __ ] psychopath well we

did it in Oklahoma in uh I guess it was

like maybe the 50s or 60s and they they

the the [ __ ] they didn't they didn't

uh tell people to leave the neighboring

towns and there's all these people the

cancer rates were through the roof here

it says

um okay comprehensive test band treaty

has been detected seismic activity of

more than two dozen stations around the

world confirming that man-made

explosions have occurred near North

Korea's nuclear testing sites for

example in 2016 the ctbto detected a

4.85 magnitude seismic event which North

Korea claimed was a hydrogen bomb test

in 2013 the ctbto detected a 4.9

magnitude seismic event which is about

twice as large as a 2006 test so they

just keep making them more powerful well

what magnitude was like Hiroshima oh

look at this one in 2024 South Korea's

weather agency estimated that a nuclear

weapon blast yield was between 50 and 60

kilotons based on a magnitude 5.6

detection the South Korea Government

initial estimate was 100 kilotons and

the n o RS AR seismology Center estimate

was 120

kilotons it's so crazy that a nut a

crazy person just some [ __ ]

Maniac dictator has that M like you can

you could take oh you [ __ ] my cousin

guess what I'm G to [ __ ] I'm going to

Nuke your town or they want a legacy Yi

was only about 15

nagak 25 holy [ __ ] isn't it funny that

Hiroshima gets all the credit but

meanwhile they got the [ __ ] ass bomb

that's right one was an atomic and one

was a hydrogen right I I don't know is

that the truth I think

so the little boy is that the big one is

that the one that was on Hiroshima so

little boy was Hiroshima and fat man was

Nagasaki wow

imagine you get your

[ __ ] your instructions you're a

fighter pilot and that's what they tell

you yeah that's what you're going to do

today right what are we doing you're

going to be the guy what do you mean

you're going to be the guy that drops

the bomb yeah what bomb we have a

nuclear bomb yeah what does that mean

like what does this thing do well you're

going to drop it and then you got to get

the [ __ ] out of there because the EXP

look back CU it'll rip your eyeballs out

expion that might be my mug that you

just grabbed oh is that that I'm I'm

sorry I just poured coffee in it I'm

sorry no I'm done with it I'm on to

coffee now there's too many mugs I

confused um I I was not seeing my mug

because the microphone was like

perfectly shielding it I was like oh

that must be my mug the uh there's a

great series on Netflix right now about

the Cold War it's like three three

episodes but it goes through you know

just the Espionage that went behind it

all and you know how how they how the

nuclear codes got to Russia because was

it the was the was the the couple the

rosenbergs and there was a few people

that basically got the information to

Russia and then once that happened like

everything [ __ ] changed like after

World War II basically in World War II

the we bombed Japan not because they

weren't going to surrender there was

like this is what this documentary talks

about that there was an end in sight

that they were they were crawling they

were on their knees but Russia had sent

forces into to Japan as uh as our allies

to help you know finish the finish the

war we didn't want them getting any of

the credit so we bombed be while Japan

was on Route while Russia was on Route

we bombed Japan whoa so once we did that

Russia was like oh it's on [ __ ] them we

need we need and they and they basically

just uh they realigned their whole

military their whole budget everything

was about getting nukes after that

happened

those bombs didn't need to be dropped

that's so crazy yeah how complicated is

that too CU if they don't drop those

bombs we know the bombs exist and no

one's dropped them do you think it would

have been worse if the world didn't see

the hor you're probably right because as

they keep getting better and no one's

dropped one on anybody yet and talking

[ __ ] I'll [ __ ] do it man I'll be the

first guy I'll be the first you know if

Hitler had a nuke you don't think you

would have launched it right 100% 100%

he's crank up on all kinds of [ __ ]

drugs they had they were shooting animal

hormones into him he was they were

experimenting on him oh that's right I

heard about that yeah this book Norman

erer Norman oler I've sold your book so

many times he's it's a crazy story when

he was in here explaining at all Hitler

had this one doctor that he trusted he

didn't trust the the SS doctor because

there was a lot of like people wanted to

get rid of Hitler there was a lot of

attempts on his life and this

[ __ ] had one doctor that was

giving him all the goods yeah and he was

just out of his mind if you gave that

guy a nuke at that time 100% he's nuking

somebody of course 100% wouldn't he do

like what was he not capable of EX

exactly exactly and I think the same

thing is true of uh Kim Jong-un right

now I don't think he I don't I don't he

was friends with Trump trump went over

shook his hand they were Pals yeah seems

like he just needed a friend he's

friends with Dennis

Rodman maybe Dennis Rodman can be the

Like official onve maybe if Trump wins
