Sometimes not at all. 78 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,979 So, love is a fluctuating thing. 79 00:03:32,979 --> 00:03:35,639 Even if you marry somebody and love them, 80 00:03:35,639 --> 00:03:38,199 you'll find sometimes you love them very much, 81 00:03:38,199 --> 00:03:39,220 sometimes little less, 82 00:03:39,220 --> 00:03:43,039 sometimes "How did I ever get in this situation?" 83 00:03:43,039 --> 00:03:46,849 So, love is a fluctuating thing, not a fixed thing. 84 00:03:46,849 --> 00:03:50,549 That's why we don't understand what's happening. 85 00:03:50,549 --> 00:03:54,259 Sometimes a guy is conditioned by society 86 00:03:54,259 --> 00:03:57,869 to like a girl of a particular configuration. 87 00:03:57,869 --> 00:04:02,929 But he marries a girl of a different configuration.

All that is bullshit put out 93 00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:20,880 by your country. 94 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,150 Now I gonna tell you a little bit about it. 95 00:04:23,150 --> 00:04:26,870 If you were raised by the headhunters of the Amazon. 96 00:04:26,870 --> 00:04:28,800 You'd be a headhunter. 97 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,270 And If I've said to you "Doesn't it bother you to have five shrunken heads?" 98 00:04:33,270 --> 00:04:37,960 He'll say "Yes, my brother have twenty." 99 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,899 So... Is he nuts? No. That's normal to his culture. 100 00:04:41,899 --> 00:04:46,129 If you were brought up in ancient Rome, assuming you were Christian. 101 00:04:46,129 --> 00:04:49,520 The Romes believed in many different gods. 102 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,800 And you come up with one god, you must be nuts. 103 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,500 So they put you in an arena with a lot of hungry lions. 104 00:04:57,500 --> 00:05:01,590 And they starve the lions for week to put on the good show. 105 00:05:01,590 --> 00:05:04,479 Then they take the clothes off the Christians. 106 00:05:04,479 --> 00:05:06,860 So the lions can tear on them easy. 107 00:05:06,860 --> 00:05:09,800 The whole family would come Saturday and Sunday 108 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,490 to see Christians fed to lions. 109 00:05:11,490 --> 00:05:13,089 . 110 00:05:13,089 --> 00:05:18,159 And the kids would say "Daddy, can I come next week to see Christians fed to lions." 111 00:05:18,159 --> 00:05:21,940 Dad says - "If you behave yourself." 112 00:05:21,940 --> 00:05:25,979 Now... Are this people nuts? No. That's normal to that culture. 113 00:05:25,979 --> 00:05:28,680 Just as we go to prize fights 114 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,909 and watch men punch the heads of other men. 115 00:05:31,909 --> 00:05:35,779 All the things we do are stupid and far beyond civilization. 116 00:05:35,779 --> 00:05:38,680 We are not civilized yet. 117 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,380 That's why you have prisons, 118 00:05:40,380 --> 00:05:42,679 police, war 119 00:05:42,679 --> 00:05:46,400 and all the problems you have.

They teach you to become a cog in a wheel 122 00:05:55,369 --> 00:05:57,050 as Roxanne pointed out. 123 00:05:57,050 --> 00:05:59,099 They teach them to become a carpenter, 124 00:05:59,099 --> 00:06:01,759 an engineer, an architect. 125 00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:04,110 All these are false fields. 126 00:06:04,110 --> 00:06:05,750 They have to teach you 127 00:06:05,750 --> 00:06:07,770 how to become a generalist. 128 00:06:07,770 --> 00:06:10,500 How to understand the history of civilization 129 00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:13,479 which is lacking in all our universities. 130 00:06:13,479 --> 00:06:15,560 They will be shut down in the future 131 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,629 and people will be brought up to become generalists. 132 00:06:18,629 --> 00:06:23,400 So they understand human behavior, they understand what makes a person, 133 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,530 what gives a person drive. 134 00:06:25,530 --> 00:06:29,719 So all of us are brought up to believe there are different kinds of people, 135 00:06:29,719 --> 00:06:31,179 which is a lie. 136 00:06:31,179 --> 00:06:34,929 That the Japanese mind can't grasp technology. 137 00:06:34,929 --> 00:06:39,889 That the Chinese can't understand certain things. And always get a dumb Polak 138 00:06:39,889 --> 00:06:41,669 to clean out your cellar. 139 00:06:41,669 --> 00:06:45,139 And a damn Italians are waps.

They took their jobs away. That's why we've got mad at them. 147 00:07:05,869 --> 00:07:07,690 And during the depression 148 00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:10,610 if a factory put up a sign "Help wanted" 149 00:07:10,610 --> 00:07:14,479 everybody lined up to get a job, hundreds of people. 150 00:07:14,479 --> 00:07:17,639 And normal Americans - normal means fucked up - 151 00:07:17,639 --> 00:07:19,199 normal Americans 152 00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:24,800 would say "Let's get the god damn waps out of the line". "Let's get the god damn Filipinos out of the line". 153 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,339 Because they threaten our jobs. 154 00:07:27,339 --> 00:07:31,780 That's why they do that. Racial hatred is tolerated 155 00:07:31,780 --> 00:07:34,759 and brought about.
