    The Wachowski Effect: Why Creative Talent Declines After Transition (Matrix & Dragon Age Analysis)

    An analytical exploration of an observed phenomenon where creative professionals experience a significant decline in the quality of their work after gender transition, examining case studies of the Wachowski sisters (Matrix series) and Dragon Age: Veilguard. This video explores potential biological, psychological, and social factors behind this pattern, including hormonal changes, creative adaptations, and social dynamics. [00:00:00] Malcolm Collins: Hello, Simone. I am excited today to be talking to you about a phenomenon. that I call the Wachowski effect, because it is something I have noticed in media. And we will be using two prominent examples of this. One is the Matrix series and the other is the Dragon Age series and, and Veilguard specifically as a particularly prominent example of this. In which a previously really talented creative or writer becomes really, really terrible after undergoing a gender transition into a woman. And when I say they become really, really terrible, I don't mean conservatives start hating their work. I mean Like, everyone starts hating their work. And I want to explore both the timelines of this, so people can see, like, okay, so for example, with Veilguard, oh my god, I [00:01:00] was just watching some scenes from it, and it is so painful. But we will go through them. You don't even know, like, it's not bad. It actively hurts to consume where, like, I'm not even going to play the clips because if I play full clips of these scenes in this episode, People will stop watching this show just because of the pain it's delivering to you, the viewer. Speaker: Oh, um. Ah, s**t. They, they're still holding it. Sorry. What are you doing? Pulling a barv. Oh, okay. A barv? There's not always time for big, drawn out apologies. So, when one of us screws up and we know we've screwed up, we do a quick ten to put it right. Pulling above. Speaker 6: It is a reminder that through struggle you find what you are. And you have never done so. Evatash has. They Are stronger than you will [00:02:00] ever be! Simone Collins: Yeah, like even, even an ally would find this painful and not something they want to watch. Yes and to Malcolm Collins: understand the effects of this, because we've seen a lot of woke games fail this year. This isn't quite as bad as something like, oh, what was the last one that we talked about? Concord But like just a horrible failure that we talked about. But it, it was bad and people knew it was going to be woke and this was a successful franchise before. So we've got different estimates of sales for this. Microphone (2- ATR2100x-USB Microphone): Since recording this, we've gotten more accurate numbers in, Microphone (2- ATR2100x-USB Microphone)-1: It looks like it's pulled in about 63 million in earnings or about one fifth of what it needs to break even. Malcolm Collins: it's it's current player count for peak daily is around 36, 000 players. There, so. Only, like, three episodes. Honestly, based Simone Collins: on the footage you shared with me, even just the character design, which honestly super yucks my yum, but just the, I, it's impressive that people [00:03:00] can work through that. Speaker 2: So, I'm non binary. What does that mean? Huh, I have big fingers. That Speaker: means I don't feel like a man or a woman. If you are neither a man nor a woman, then what are you? Speaker 2: Non binary. I just said, and I'm going to use they instead of she from now Microphone (2- ATR2100x-USB Microphone)-2: Just a note here. Okay, this is a mistake I had made throughout the recording. I assumed that this individual, from the way that they looked was a non passing trans woman, but they are actually a non passing , non-binary individual that looks and codes male. Microphone (2- ATR2100x-USB Microphone)-3: But was born a woman. Microphone (2- ATR2100x-USB Microphone)-2: , I suspect the reason for this is that the writers of this are non passing trans women and they identifying more with a biologic

    Learning From Mossad: What Exploding Pagers Can Teach Us About Getting a Job

    Tactical Mastery: How Mossad's Ingenious Pagers Dismantled Hezbollah In this episode, the hosts delve into the meticulous and strategic operations of Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, that led to a significant strike on Hezbollah. They explore the sophisticated tactics used, including the installation of explosive devices in pager batteries and walkie-talkies, which effectively maimed Hezbollah operatives and disrupted their communication network. Through an in-depth analysis of these events, the conversation sheds light on the precision and ingenuity behind Mossad's actions, while intentionally setting aside the moral debates to focus purely on their tactical execution. Additionally, the hosts draw parallels between these intelligence strategies and modern marketing techniques, discussing relevance in business and non-profit advocacy. The conversation is rounded off with broader reflections on conflict resolution strategies and the responsibilities of leadership in making tough decisions. [00:00:00] Malcolm Collins: Hello simone today. We are going to be talking about an interesting topic, which actually Is transformed the way that we personally think about things like looking for jobs, attracting press and attracting donors, which was how Mossad, that's Israel's intelligence agency, pulled off the major strike on the On Hezbollah and a lot more information has come out about this over time. So I'm going to try to paint a full picture, including a lot of things that I'm pretty sure that even you didn't know, Simone, here's, for example, an interesting one. I didn't know. Did you know about the security feature? A thing on this where to decode a message with the pager that they had sold to Hezbollah. You needed to have both hands on the device. Simone Collins: Oh, interesting. Malcolm Collins: Wow. The way it worked is they built a security feature where you could only decode it encoded [00:01:00] Hezbollah message. If you had both of your hands on the device, like holding it in different locations, which ensured. When they send out the initial thing to make the devices explode it only exploded when people were answering this specific coded message. So they had to have both of their hands on the device when it exploded, which ensured that bunch of their Simone Collins: proximity, like someone didn't have a pager sitting on their nightstand and so Malcolm Collins: there were two different instances of the explosion. The first instance was they sent out a coded message. And then anybody who hadn't answered that message, their pagers then later exploded like the next day or something all at once. But the important thing about the message is it removed these people from fighter capabilities. If you don't have your two hands, whatever other injuries you have, you can't shoot a gun. And so the goal there was to remove them from fighter capabilities. There's all sorts of cool stuff like that, that you will learn. And I just like to As we go [00:02:00] into this, I am not going to give my standard Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah rant this time. So just I'm sort of leaving morality at the door. What Simone Collins: we're talking about here is the tactical that went into Mossad's actions, which for those who have been living in a cave. They managed to get that is to say, Mossad, Israel's intelligence apparatus, managed to get a hostile entity, Mossad to purchase a bunch of pagers that it had created that were, that had embedded bombs that were used for monitoring and this was done for years. And then recently, this year, they detonated them, maiming quite a few people. Basically a huge devastating attack, not just in terms of one sort of violent strike that took place on one day, but also sort of dismantling their communication infrastructure. So this was a very impressive feat. We're [00:03:00] not talking about what was right or wrong morally. What we're talking about is how they got to do this and what, in terms of operating tactica

    Can Dems Ever Win Again? Charting a Realistic Path to Political Relevancy

    In this engaging discussion, Simone and Malcolm tackle the pressing issue of how the Democrats can reverse their electoral fortunes. Despite losing support across various demographics, they delve into potential strategies and changes the Democratic party can implement. The conversation covers topics such as the extremist influence within both major parties, the impact of Donald Trump's policies, and the shifts in voter demographics. They also discuss the necessity for the left to distance itself from 'woke' extremism to regain broader appeal. The episode ends with a hopeful note on rebuilding the Democratic party after significant defeats. Malcolm Collins: [00:00:00] Hello, Simone! Today, we are going to come up with a hypothesis for how the Democrats can win the next election cycle, how they can fix the downward spiral, because they are losing in every demographic. They are losing in women. They are losing in black men and women. They are losing in Every younger generation, both men and women, is voting more conservatively every generation at this point. It is bad for Dems. They are losing hard in the Hispanic population. Kamala did worse than Biden in literally every state. And I think one of the key things is, is that both parties have an extremist problem. On the right, there were some people, or extremists is the wrong way to put it. Some people who embody the negative stereotype that the other party paints that party as having. So in the right, we paint the left as being these crazy wokers and on the left they paint us as being crazy racist. Yeah. As we pointed out in the last video, the crazy racists all left the right, denounce Trump and want nothing to do with him and say [00:01:00] they feel uncomfortable at right wing rallies now. Yay for us, we sucked out the venom, spit it in a toilet. Microphone (Wireless Microphone Rx): If you didn't watch that video in it, we know that almost every prominent. Racist anti-Semitic or homophobic. Mainstream right-wing voice denounced Trump and asked their followers not to vote for him leading up to the election. And for people who think that this is a femoral or just something that's happening among the. Influencer class here. We actually see this in the data. If you look between the first time Trump was elected and this time Trump was elected, he did worse among white men. Where he exploded in support. Whitten contrasting between these election cycles. Is. Blacks and Hispanics. Specifically Hispanic men. And it is because we, as a country have reached a place where Hispanic men who actually care more about the immigration crisis, then white men [00:02:00] do, I've come to realize that the Republican party is not racist, but that's something that was only possible because the Republican party. Expelled its racist element. So we can talk about things like the immigration crisis outside of a racialist lens. Microphone (Wireless Microphone Rx)-1: And if you look at the counties where the difference in voting was the most, this election cycle. They are the counties that were overwhelmingly Hispanic. The dims thought this demographics is destiny thing. We can just increase the number of minorities in this country and we'll win forever. And they, they thought that this plan would work for them. In the meantime, Trump has been building his support within the very communities the Democrats thought they had on lock. Microphone (Wireless Microphone Rx)-2: With things like the Hispanic community moving in a direction where they might become a majority Republican voting block in the near future. This is an existential crisis for Democrats. Which have largely just become a party of college brainwashed elites. Microphone (Wireless Microphone Rx)-3: This is something that was only possible because Trump took the. Republican [00:03:00] parties version of the woke population, the extremists who represent the negative stereotype, that the other party paints of the Republican party and made the

    Anti-Black/Jewish/Gay Voters Turned on Trump & He Did Better Than Ever

    An in-depth analysis of the recent trend of far-right influencers like Nick Fuentes, Richard Spencer, and David Duke turning against Trump and the Republican Party. Learn why this exodus is actually strengthening the conservative movement and creating a more inclusive, successful political coalition. We examine how these influencers' personal failures contradict their ideological positions, why their vision of conservatism is based on progressive stereotypes rather than historical reality, and how their departure is making room for more effective leaders like Scott Pressler. This video explores: * The difference between healthy cultural pride and toxic ethno-nationalism * Why pluralistic societies historically outperform homogeneous ones * The importance of family success in validating political philosophy * How the Republican Party is becoming a "united network of clans" * Why competitive cooperation between different groups strengthens America * The contrast between building up versus tearing down other cultures A fascinating look at how the Republican Party is evolving and why its rejection of extremist elements is a sign of strength, not weakness. [00:00:00] Malcolm Collins: Hello, Simone. Today we are going to be talking about an interesting. Phenomenon, which is that individuals who have racist tendencies or who are skeptical about Jewish or gay people have been turning against Trump in droves recently. What is going on there? Yeah, it does seem like this trend. And and very aggressively. So it used to be that in every election cycle, your famous racist would have these moments where they might, you know, tongue in cheek, support a Democratic candidate to try to make them look bad. And so people couldn't say that they were supporting the Republicans. That is not what is happening anymore. They hate Trump and they are actively attempting to get their fan bases to vote against him. Simone Collins: Really? Because I was mostly assuming that these were tongue in cheek harmful. Malcolm Collins: No, and I'll, I'll provide a contrasting example here that is still tongue in cheek, which is Curtis Yarvin. But if you look at Nick Fuentes, [00:01:00] Richard Spencer, David Duke or Leather Apron Club, they have all done aggressively anti Trump messages before the election asking their followers not to vote. The gist of why they're doing this is they have this perception of , if this party cannot be actively and aggressively anti Jewish, racist and homophobic, then I'm just going to go home. And they don't like how far it's moved on those issues. Whereas, you know, we basically respond with. Speaker 11: I'm leaving. Speaker 10: Okay then, that was always allowed. Malcolm Collins: So, we're gonna go through every one of these individuals, what they've said about Trump recently go through some of the arguments that they've used for why they're leaving, and we're also going to discuss the effects of this on the Republican Party, largely really positive. Simone Collins: Okay. Malcolm Collins: Very, very positive. If the left could achieve this with their toxic, racist, [00:02:00] bigoted faction, that far rookies they would be able to win mainstream elections. So that's, that's one thing to note here. The second thing that we're going to talk about is all of these individuals who have this weird, I'd almost say sort of aesthetic cargo cult idea of what it means to be a conservative. None of them are above repopulation rate and none of them seem to have a happy marriage. Speaker 16: Jerry, marriage is a lot of work. We have to plan for a house, plan for a baby. Babies cost a lot of money. Speaker 15: What? Babies don't cost money, they make money. Especially those little white ones. Speaker 16: Look, you have to get serious about this. Speaker 15: Or what, huh? You gonna hit me? No, I'm not gonna hit Speaker 16: you, Jerry. Speaker 15: You don't wanna beat me or screw me? What kind of marriage is this? Bring a book.

    Curtis Yarvin: How Communists Created the Modern Democratic Movement

    In this episode, Curtis Yarvin, a prominent political thinker, dives into the hidden connections between the Communist Party USA and the civil rights movement, particularly through the lens of Stanley Levinson's influence on Martin Luther King Jr. Yarvin also examines the intertwining of Marxism with various political figures and movements, including Hillary Clinton and progressive politics. The conversation explores controversial figures like Jim Jones and connects historical political philosophies to modern-day dynamics, providing a historical context for today's political landscape. Curtis Yarvin: [00:00:00] Stanley Levinson leaves the Communist Party formally. He founds the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, which is Martin Luther King's organization. He recruits King. He writes King's speeches. He manages King's organization. And basically starts the civil rights movement, it is just a rebranding of the Communist Party USA. if you're graphing the social networks of the CPUSA, you will always find these like hereditary aristocrats on top. Jessica Medford's she's really the social queen of American communism. She marries is a guy named Bob Truhoft. And runs labor law firm. So when Hillary Clinton graduates from Yale law school, where did she go to work first? Oh, no. , and it's like Barack Obama's connection to billiards. It's just like, yeah, sure. Let's talk about how many degrees of separation connect vice president Kamala Harris to Jim Jones. Malcolm Collins: The guy who killed all those people in South America. Jonestown Curtis Yarvin: Jonestown. Simone Collins: And we also Curtis Yarvin: are not told that Jim Jones was such a huge [00:01:00] booster of the Soviet Union the letter That harvey milk wrote to . Jimmy carter defending Jim Jones right to take this child who was claimed by his mother from his father and taken to Jonestown who later died in Jonestown. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. Malcolm Collins: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think a lot of people don't realize this. Curtis Yarvin: boyfriend who he raped and then, you know, killed himself Would you like to know more? Microphone (4- ATR2100x-USB Microphone)-1: I tried. I really tried to find a good place to intro the script here, but the stuff said at the beginning keeps getting referenced later on. So you are going to get a stream of Curtis Jarvin thought in this, and it is. A fantastic episode. I think one of our better episodes. , just from an entertainment and informational perspective, if you don't know who Curtis Jarvin is, he's probably one of the most famous living political thinkers. , you might also know him as much as mobile. He came up with the idea of the cathedral. He founded Herbet. Eddie. He's also a [00:02:00] fervent monarchist. Curtis Yarvin: With the assistance of 11, with the assistance of 11 labs, you can actually make me say things that I didn't, which is opens up a really large new set of possibilities. And I need to do that absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. You can, you can just catch in things and sound almost like the person results. This is just, it's a useful use of AI and you just make them say what they should have said. You know, cut out those, those Tourette's moments, all those N words, you know, and No, Malcolm Collins: I'm adding all of those. That's the point, right? We're going to have you talk like a gangster in Curtis Yarvin: this entire interview. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Exactly. You do the whole cut. And then the person is, the poor person is forced to claim, you know, this ridiculous claim that these nice people you know, edited Dan word into his track and it's really, it's just a patently false claim. It's just like, my account was hacked, you know, [00:03:00] right? Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. You were hacked into the AI. You know, like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm actually Malcolm Collins: so glad that AI is getting this good because I, when, when people catch me doing actually like horrifying stuff, I'm just going
