Summary
"How would you define cerebral, and how is cerebral different from intellectual?"
"How do you arbitrate? I would, for example, consider it humiliating and depressing to marry a statist. But if I take the same attitude with every relationship, I will have no relationships! How do you navigate making friends, coworkers, dates, and FOO relationships with people when the norm is irrational and immoral?"

| 0:00.0 | Good money everybody hope you doing well it's de Stefanovich and it's only February the 4th just a little bit before |
| 0:09.2 | the 11 o'clock show wanted to do a little bit of voice warm-up and also answer some questions. |
| 0:15.6 | So here they are from freedom main-dot locals.com. |
| 0:20.6 | How would you define cerebral and how is cerebral different from intellectual? |
| 0:25.0 | Question is, how would you define cerebral and how is cerebral different from intellectual? |
| 0:30.0 | So this is interesting, so when I was a younger man, a young man, I would play a game like I did a lot of manual labor and I'd need something to intellectualize something to occupy my mind. |
| 0:45.0 | So what I would do is I would say, well here are two words that are that seem like |
| 0:49.6 | synonyms. Why are there two different words? I mean it was an interesting game for me to sort of slice and dice language and figure out why there are two different words. |
| 1:00.0 | So initially I was like, who cares? This is a ridiculous question. |
