0:00.5	Hi, it's Brendan here. Before we kick off with this week's podcast, I have a very special
0:06.1	announcement to make. I am really happy to be able to tell you that my new book is being published
0:11.8	on the 5th of June. It's called A Heretics Manifesto, and it is basically a blast against the
0:18.6	conformism of our time. It covers everything from gender ideology to COVID authoritarianism, to
0:25.5	climate change hysteria, and it makes the case for having a bit more heretical thinking.
0:31.5	It's a rallying cry for Heretics. It's a rallying cry for freedom of thought, and I really think
0:37.5	you're going to like it. You can pre-order it right now on Amazon UK or Amazon US, so do that straight
0:44.3	away. We've also got a very special offer. Anyone who donates £50 or more to spite will get a
0:51.8	signed copy of the book, while stocks last. To do that, go to spiked-online.com-donate.
1:01.4	Plus, if you're a spiked supporter, you can attend the online launch of the book on Monday,

1:13.0	so spiked supporters can sign up for that book launch right now by going to the supporters hub
1:18.2	on spiked. So whether you are pre-ordering the book on Amazon or donating in order to get a
1:24.6	signed copy, don't delay. Go out and get your copy of Heretics Manifesto now. Thank you so much.
1:32.4	I really hope you enjoy the book, and now on with the show.
1:40.4	Weakness in group terms. It's not a virtue. Unfortunately, the race debate here
1:46.1	tries to portray groups that are in weaker positions today are somehow inherently more virtuous.
1:50.5	I'm not saying that the groups that are stronger are stronger because they are more virtuous.
1:54.3	You know, strength is also not a virtue. It's a state of being. It's a condition. It's a circumstance.
1:59.4	And if you want your group to be in a strong position, you need to figure out what you need to do
2:03.8	to get to that strong position. Rather than spending your life simply in a criticizing
2:08.4	those who are in a strong position and trying to suggest explicitly or implicitly that you are
