 The type of villain that

1:01

thrives and I'll put that word in

1:03

quotation marks on chaos. So what I'm

1:07

talking about is people who are vicious,

1:10

that is to say ridden with vice and that

1:13

vice leads them to chaos. Because there

1:17

was a very interesting question that was

1:19

asked in this sphere about I don't know

1:21

five six years ago. People were looking

1:23

at the quote unquote progressive people

1:26

that had taken over let's say the

1:28

entertainment industry which I was

1:29

covering and they're saying well surely

1:31

these people can't mean to burn it to

1:33

the ground. It just seems that they

1:35

don't understand that they're going to

1:37

destroy this thing, this industry, these

1:40

characters, etc. Now, I will say there

1:43

are two different answers for that. The

1:44

first one I have gone over many of

1:46

times. Yes, there are people who simply

1:49

are bent on destruction. Once again, I

1:51

referenced the video I did a couple of

1:53

months ago called the Communist

1:55

Catechism. It's focused on destruction.

1:58

So if you have people who have the

2:01

similar ideological mindset, yeah,

2:03

destruction is part of it. And even in

2:05

the entertainment industry subsection

2:08

that I was dealing with mostly, which

2:10

was comics. Yeah, you got well, I'll

2:13

call them elder statesmen of comic book

2:16

writing coming out publicly and saying,

2:19

"Yes, I would literally rather see the

2:23

entire comic industry burned to the

2:25

ground rather than work with

2:28

conservative people." But even though

2:30

there are that section of people,

2:32

there's also the section of people who

2:34

again quote unquote thrive on chaos. And

2:38

that chaos is only true chaos if it has

2:42

the distinct possibility at some point

2:44

to lead to utter destruction. Speaking

2:47

of comics, there was one comic character

2:49

that I grew up with which I liked but

2:51

not many people liked. It was Dr. Fate.

2:54

Now, if you don't know Dr. fate. He's

2:56

basically DC's version of Doctor

2:58

Strange. But what this character was was

3:01

an embodiment, an avatar for order, and

3:05

he fought against the gods of chaos. And

3:07

this character is very old. I don't even

3:09

know when he started, the 30s, and is

3:12

still used today, which is just my way

3:14

of saying that. You see, our society for

3:17

a long time and up until fairly recently

3:20

understood the value of order to the

3:24

detriment of chaos. So the question

3:27

becomes, where do these people come

3:30

from? Again, I would say mostly quote

3:32

unquote progressive people, the vast

3:34

majority of them. Where do they come

3:36

from? Where do they get this mentality

3:38

that they enjoy chaos? Well, let's go,

3:41

as I said, back to the deep

3:44

psychological roots of this entire thing

3:46

and see if we can map it out. So,

3:49

backstory first. First and foremost, I

3:51

am a student of history. My degrees

3:54

started out with history and classics,

3:56

which to a large degree is ancient

3:58

history. And one of the well it used to

4:00

be one of the main stays of trying to

4:04

understand historically the destruction

4:07

of civilizations

4:09

was to look at the destruction of the

4:12

family unit within that society before

4:16

the actual civilization fell. This was

4:18

one of the top contenders for at the

4:21

very least when I studied history why

4:23

the Roman Empire fell. It was the

4:25

destruction of the family unit and it

4:27

was the family unit that held the empire

4:30

together. The destruction of the

4:31

paraphamilia and the order imposed upon

4:34

the family by that leader of the family.

4:37

And I would say this is in part a large

4:41

part the problem that we have in our

4:44

culture, our societies today. And if you

4:48

know anything about the political

4:50

ideology of progressivism, far-leftism,

4:53

things like socialism, communism, and

4:56

really most of the left, there is either

5:00

a slight disdain to an utter hatred of

5:05

the family unit. If you look at the

5:07

supporting ideological documentation for

5:11

heavy socialism and communism, the

5:13

destruction of the family unit is part

5:15

and parcel of that. And yes, it has

5:17

impacts on us today. Two out of the

5:19

three creators of the Black Lives Matter

5:24

movement were admittedly trained

5:27

Marxist, trained revolutionaries. And

5:30

[snorts] part and parcel of the original

5:33

statement, which was up on their website

5:35

for quite some time, but was taken down

5:37

when things got a little too hot for

5:38

them, was the destruction of the family

5:41

unit. But here's the thing. You don't

5:43

need to be that extreme in order to

5:45

destroy the family unit. Now, I suppose

5:48

I should give you a little bit of my own

5:50

bias in the entire thing. Within the

5:52

particular ancient form of Christianity

5:54

that I am a part of, we do not see the

5:57

individual as the cell, the smallest

6:01

unit of a society. We see the family as

6:05

the smallest unit, the cell of society.

6:08

So, yeah, I do have that bias. Put that

6:10

right out there. But the point is this

6:12

doesn't just need to be a religious

6:14

thing. If we look at, let's just say, a

6:17

much lighter form of the destruction of

6:19

the family unit, which is the idea that

6:22

it's perfectly okay to have a single

6:25

parent household. Such an idea did not

6:28

exist prior to about the 1960s. And we

6:32

have ample evidence now and studies,

6:34

although no one wants to talk about

6:35

them, that show that people in single

6:38

parent households, especially the

6:41

children, do worse, far worse than their

6:44

counterparts in a full family unit. And

6:49

you can just apply common sense in

6:50

understanding that if you have more

6:53

resources to use and you have, let's

6:55

say, two parents instead of one, you

6:57

will have more resources. then you have

7:00

a much higher percentage at fulfilling

7:02

the goals that you're pointed towards.

7:04

But the interesting thing is that this

7:07

doesn't just need to be a utilitarian

7:11

argument. We can make this a medical

7:13

argument. And this is where chaos comes

7:16

into the entire thing. You see, I'm sure

7:19

all of us understand that the human body

7:21

is an extremely complex mechanism. And

7:25

part of that mechanism is that our body

7:27

produces chemicals internally for us to

7:31

use in order to deal with situations.

7:33

And what typically is supposed to happen

7:37

that a child growing up is supposed to

7:40

have a stable enough living situation as

7:43

well as hopefully wise and instructing

7:46

parents that they will learn to act in a

7:50

way wherein the chemicals produced

7:52

within our body become a generative

7:55

rather than a destructive force. What am

7:58

I talking about? Well, let's just take

8:00

two examples. one to teach the children

8:03

not to be stressed all the time because

8:05

they should have a sense of security and

8:07

not just a sense but an actual bedrock

8:10

of security because if that's not there

8:13

if the stress hormones and chemicals are

8:15

allowed to run rampant within that child

8:18

as they grow up they're going to get

8:20

used to that and it's going to become a

8:21

destructive force. The opposite of that

8:23

is dopamine. You know the reward

8:25

chemical that your body produces. It's a

8:28

good thing. It produces it for a reason.

8:29

and it gives us motivation but it can be

8:32

hijacked fairly easily and we can see

8:34

this through things like gambling. It is

8:36

hijacked very easily by gambling. But

8:39

again if you have a stable situation

8:42

wherein you are instructed how to deal

8:46

with internal states so that your body

8:48

produces these chemicals in the correct

8:50

proportions. they become generative

8:52

rather than destructive because too much

8:54

dopamine or dopamine produced in a

8:57

certain way can be destructive. Now,

9:00

here's the thing. Let's just keep on

9:02

this train for a little bit. Okay, this

9:03

is not the only situation. Just using

9:06

this as an example of one situation. I

9:08

would say the majority situation, but

9:10

still if you have a child growing up in

9:13

a single parent household and that

9:15

household is in nothing but chaos

9:18

because that single parent household is

9:22

always scrambling for resources in order

9:25

to well put food on the table, keep

9:28

clothes in your back, keep a roof over

9:29

your head, etc. Then the child is going

9:32

to use the chaos. Now, two caveats here.

9:35

Number one, some parents are really good

9:37

at this, even single parents. So much so

9:40

that they might be able to create what

9:42

you would call ordered chaos. Something

9:45

that looks like chaos, but really they

9:47

have an order to it. It's just not a

9:50

traditional way of dealing with it.

9:51

That's possible. But here's the problem.

9:53

In that situation, even if the adult is

9:57

able to impose some kind of order on

10:00

what looks like chaos, the child doesn't

10:02

have the mental skills in order to see

10:05

that pattern. And what does the child

10:07

then see? Well, the child then sees

10:09

chaos. And the second thing is that sure

10:12

there may be situations where things

10:14

like a single parent household is not a

10:16

choice. You know, your father dies, your

10:19

mother has no other prospects, you get

10:21

raised by your mother, single parent

10:22

household. But the thing is in that

10:24

situation the default was the order of a

10:28

traditional family and most probably if

10:30

given the chance they would go back to

10:32

that order. So that does give some

10:34

stability to the whole situation

10:36

although it's not an ideal situation

10:38

whatsoever. But where it is a choice,

10:41

that is a choice for chaos. Again,

10:44

either because the household is in chaos

10:46

or because the child typically will not

10:49

be able to distinguish the patterns, the

10:52

complex patterns used in order for one

10:56

person to substitute for two. Now,

10:59

here's the important part to the whole

11:01

thing. There is a principle in

11:02

psychology, and not just psychology. We

11:05

could go back into philosophy, but I'm

11:07

trying to stick to the psychological for

11:09

this section of the video. At the very

11:10

least, there's a principle in psychology

11:13

that says the majority of people, if

11:16

given the choice between something which

11:18

is familiar but unhealthy, and something

11:22

which is unfamiliar but healthy, the

11:25

majority of people will choose the

11:28

familiar. Now, I'm going to repeat that

11:30

because it is extremely important. The

11:32

majority of people will choose the

11:34

familiar and unhealthy above the

11:37

unfamiliar and healthy. Now, let's add

11:39

that principle to the situation we were

11:42

just talking about. You have a child

11:44

growing up in a household where he sees

11:47

nothing but chaos. The chemicals that

11:49

are produced within his body for things

11:51

like reward or stress are set into not a

11:55

permanent balance but a extremely

11:58

familiar balance which is unhealthy. And

12:02

that unhealthy state becomes the norm

12:05

for that child and thus the familiar

12:07

pattern of life. And here's the sticky

12:09

part. The sticky part is that as that

12:12

child grows up and has set within them

12:15

the chemical stress and reward system

12:18

whereby they see chaos as familiar. When

12:22

such people are then exposed to order,

12:26

it is something unfamiliar to them and

12:29

the unfamiliar in our bodies produces

12:31

again stress hormones and thus they

12:34

begin to see order as a threat. Quite

12:37

literally, the internal system of

12:39

chemicals within their body sends off

12:42

warning bells saying danger, danger

12:44

whenever they start to see order,

12:46

stability or simple things like rules.

12:50

And again the simple principle is they

12:53

will choose familiar and unhealthy above

12:57

unfamiliar and healthy. Which is to say

12:59

at some point some part of them

13:02

understands that this mentality of chaos

13:06

is unhealthy for them. Yet they will

13:08

cling to it anyways because it is

13:11

familiar. And the reason why our

13:14

societies are starting to crumble around

13:16

us is because we've had what 60 years

13:20

plus of this mentality that it's okay to

13:23

live your life in chaos. And the

13:24

political ideologies that thrive on the

13:27

promotion of chaos are accelerating

13:30

their takeover of government systems. As

13:33

a bit of an interesting aside, let's

13:35

look at two ways that we can see this

13:37

occurring. First off, why do you see so

13:40

many people on the left either

13:42

explicitly call the people on the right

13:43

fascists or are able to convince the

13:47

moderate leftists that the people on the

13:50

right are fascists? Why? Because such

13:53

people are used to chaos. And in their

13:55

mind, whenever they run into something

13:58

that has rules and order, it triggers an

14:01

alarm bell in their body and they see it

14:03

as danger. And therefore the people who

14:06

are touting the virtues of order of an

14:10

ordered society of following the rules

14:13

and especially those people who say

14:15

there is a truth to this universe and we

14:18

can categorize everything in an ordered

14:20

fashion those people must be evil. Why?

14:23

Because to the chaotic mind with the

14:27

alarm bells going off whenever things

14:29

become ordered, then any system which

14:32

has within it a distinct set of rules in

14:36

order to bring about order, any order,

14:38

good or bad, is a system that they must

14:42

villainize. They must get away from it.

14:43

They must demonize. And I would say the

14:46

majority of people listening to my voice

14:48

right now have probably been called a

14:50

fascist or a Nazi by someone in the last

14:53

10 to 15 years. Now that's fairly

14:56

anecdotal, but let's look at something

14:57

more concrete. It's an example I pull up

14:59

every once in a while about what the

15:01

German government did within the '9s and

15:04

2000s. Taking children who were orphans

15:08

or in abusive households and thus have

15:10

been taken away from their family.

15:13

taking those vulnerable children and

15:15

placing them in foster homes where they

15:18

knew these children would be abused in a

15:23

horrific way. Now, that's my judgment of

15:26

the situation. From the left-leaning

15:28

governments that they had at that time,

15:30

this would be not abuse at all. Why?

15:33

Because they specifically did it to

15:36

these children, placed them in these

15:39

homes because they were trying to combat

15:41

fascism. That was their stated goal. And

15:44

the way that that goal would be achieved

15:46

was to ensure that these children grew

15:49

up with a disdain for rules and

15:53

normality. That was their stated goal

15:56

and purpose of a government of a western

15:59

liberal democracy. Destroy the ideas in

16:02

these children's heads that order and

16:06

rules are good things and that will

16:08

ensure the destruction of fascism. So

16:12

this is a mainstay. This kind of chaos

16:15

is a mainstay for almost every

16:18

ideological bent on the left today.

16:21

Whether it be light or extreme, whether

16:24

it be pushed directly or unknowingly.

16:27

Now before we bring it back into the

16:30

more philosophical discussion about

16:32

virtues and vice, let's talk about a few

16:35

extra points to make sure we flesh out

16:38

this argument. Here's part of the

16:39

problem with how our societies are

16:42

trying to deal with this entire thing

16:44

today. Now again, let's just take this

16:46

down to an individual level, but you

16:48

could apply it to much larger systems.

16:51

Let's say you have one of these people

16:52

which was brought up in chaos and so

16:55

finds chaos as the norm and comfortable

16:57

and therefore tends to live their life

16:59

in chaos. How in the world, you may be

17:01

asking, how in the world can they live

17:04

any kind of stable life? Well, that's

17:06

the point. They can't. First off, living

17:09

on the edge of chaos is not enough

17:11

because that would still be order. If

17:14

there is no chance that you can fall

17:16

directly into the chaos and be

17:18

destroyed, if there's no chance of that,

17:20

then that's order no matter how close

17:22

you get to the line. Therefore, these

17:24

people have to live their lives in a way

17:27

wherein they are constantly teetering on

17:30

the edge of destruction. And how can

17:32

they live their lives this way? Well,

17:34

this is one of the other points of the

17:36

entire thing. You see, the language is

17:38

typically they have no internal locus of

17:40

control. They have external locuses of

17:43

control, which is to say they have no

17:46

self-control. They manipulate others

17:48

around them in order to control

17:50

situations so that it doesn't turn out

17:53

spectacularly poorly for them. And this

17:55

happens of course because in order to

17:57

build a internal locus of control in

18:00

order to have self-control well first

18:02

you have to have a stable foundation

18:05

wherein you can order your own thoughts

18:07

and thus control what happens

18:08

internally. But again they're built on

18:10

chaos. Their lives are chaos. Chaos is

18:13

familiar. Chaos is what they create.

18:15

They don't have that time or place of

18:18

that stability of that order to build

18:21

that self-control. And thus they have

18:22

none. And so what they do with this

18:25

external locus of control or locuses of

18:28

control is to manipulate the people

18:30

around them so that they will take the

18:32

blow first of all when reality tries to

18:35

smack them down and will then also try

18:38

and help them get up when they fall.

18:40

Because again teetering on the edge with

18:43

no chance of falling is still order.

18:46

Therefore they must fall at points. They

18:50

must know they're going to fall. predict

18:52

they're going to fall and fall never

18:55

knowing when it will occur. So they need

18:56

someone to pick them back up and they

18:58

also need other people to take the brunt

19:01

of the consequences of that fall. And

19:04

thus again we expand this from the

19:06

individual to the societal. This is why

19:09

these people are constantly pushing for

19:11

more and more social programs to protect

19:14

them from the inevitable smack of

19:18

reality that they're going to get that

19:19

they know is coming because they teeter

19:22

purposefully on the edge of destruction

19:25

and chaos knowing that they're going to

19:27

fall at some point. Knowing that they

19:28

have to fall at some point because

19:30

anything else would be order and that's

19:33

unfamiliar and scary and evil. But the

19:36

secondary point of this is how our

19:39

society deals with it. You see, again,

19:41

as I was saying, go back to the

19:43

individual. Let's say you have an

19:44

individual whose life is in shambles

19:47

because they are one of these

19:48

chaos-minded people. And you have

19:50

someone, someone of order who wants to

19:52

help them. The person of order typically

19:55

will want to help them by doing things

19:57

like offering them love, offering them

20:00

support, offering them stability,

20:02

offering to help drive the chaos out of

20:05

their lives in some way through some

20:08

ordered action that they can plan and

20:11

predict and lay out for them. If this

20:13

situation occurs, and it occurs all the

20:16

time, the chaotic person will see that

20:18

as oppression, will see that as an act

20:21

of evil on the part of the ordered

20:24

person. Now, typically they won't call

20:26

it evil. They'll say it's something like

20:27

abuse, hence their victimhood. But

20:29

that's the thing. You see, to these

20:32

people, order is a trap because it

20:34

doesn't allow them to teeter on the edge

20:37

of destruction. Whereas in the ordered

20:39

person's mind, that would be a good

20:40

thing. Well, I'm taking you away from

20:42

that edge. I'm providing things for you

20:45

out of love and love itself. I'm

20:48

providing for you so that you come away

20:50

from that edge. I want to draw you away

20:51

from that edge so that there is no

20:54

chance you will fall. But the

20:55

chaotic-minded person sees that as a

20:58

trap, as a literal trap to trap them in

21:02

an existence of nothing but stress and

21:05

fear. Because why? Because you're

21:08

offering them order. And order is

21:10

unfamiliar. And the unfamiliar causes

21:13

stress. And higher levels of the stress

21:15

cause fear. And having to live in a

21:17

constant state of fear and stress, which

21:21

again is a state of order. That is to

21:23

say, a state where their lives are

21:24

ordered is a trap is a trap in a

21:28

personal hell. What more? The ordered

21:30

person who is a person that has

21:33

self-control and doesn't need to control

21:35

others around them will be demonized by

21:37

the chaotic individual because they

21:40

don't understand that people can live in

21:43

any other way that they themselves...
