So, hello everybody. Welcome to Friday the 20th of June 2025, a glorious time. I thought we'd be in

space, but instead we're just shuffling around human populations on the planet like a caro card deck,

trying to see what the outcomes will be, although it's fairly predictable. So I was having a

conversation. For those of you who don't know, I do call in shows. I mean, if you knew-ish to what it is that I do, I do call in shows where you can call in and talk about any topic you want. We can debate, anything with philosophy. Of course, I have 30 years entrepreneurial business experience, happy to talk about that. And these can be public calls, which are free or there can be private calls, which are paid, just so you know. So I was chatting with a fellow this morning, and he said I could talk about some of the contents of the conversation. So let me ask you this, my friends. And this can be any topic you want. I'm just throwing something out there to start, do you have people in your life

who can't admit when they're wrong? Oh, bone chilling. Bone chilling, I tell you, do you have

people in your life who cannot admit when they are wrong? Now, we can talk about that and the

effects of all of that on your sanity, on your mental health, because people

who can't admit that they're wrong have a strange kind of power in this world. A strange

kind of power. It's the Claudius versus Hamlet thing, if you're familiar with the great Shakespearean

play, perhaps the greatest play ever penned, which is that Hamlet is the Prince of Denmark who is supposed to.

I think it's okay to do spoilers if it's over 400 years old.

I think that's fair to say, right?

Spoiler in the Bible. Jesus wins.

So with Hamlet, he plays a medieval, or he's a medieval Danish prince who has to avenge his father's murder. His father was

murdered by his uncle, Claudius, and his father's ghost appears to him at the beginning of the play.

And honestly, the Mel Gibson one is fantastic, in my opinion. And says, avenge me, avenge me.

And Hamlet is like, yeah, could be. Could be a ghost telling me to avenge my father, or it could be something sent by Satan

to get me to murder an innocent man so I go to hell itself.

In other words, he has relatively modern scientific, rational, empirical skepticism against

the rank superstition of his age. Now, to grow out of superstition

is tough because you have to start doubting things, and of course a lot of superstitions throughout

history is enforced through violence in the same way that the modern superstitions of wokeism
