[00:00:00] Alex Tsakiris: On this episode of Skeptiko a show about the left right Divide. And a show about UFO’s, and a show about why people believe weird things and a show about my epiphany when I realized that all this truth seeking stuffThat I’m so concerned with ultimately has a lot to do with values and beliefs And for me, if I’m in a strip all the way back to values and belief, I got to go to that fire walking self-development giant. Tony Robbins. Here’s the clip.

[00:00:40] Tony Robbins: if I said to you, which would you rather have success? Adventure, outrageousness, love, comfort, or feelings of security. , which would you pick? Some people say, well, gosh, it’s clear to me. I want to absolutely have success. That’s what life is about. Other people go, well, success is nice, but you know, you can succeed and not be adventurous. I want to be an adventurer other go now, Hey, I want to be outrageous.

You’re outrageous. You’re gonna have fun. You’re gonna play. You’re gonna have a great time in life. Other people go well, that’s all nice. But what I want is love. I mean, you can have all those other things, but if you don’t feel love, you don’t have any. I love you. Those are no, no, no, man. I mean, you can be loved, but still not feel comfortable who wants to be loved and be in pain all the time.

All of us in life have learned to take different words that we call emotions and to give them levels of importance

[00:01:31] Alex Tsakiris: Now you might be wondering what that has to do with part two of my interview with Jimmy Fallon gong, who you heard from a couple episodes back. And as I promised, this episode is a little more. Skeptical back and forth, , paradigm collide kind of stuff.

Here’s a clip where Jimmy and I are talking about how his radical left, tin foil left. I should say a term that he coined that is really, I think fantastic about conspiratorially woke people who happened to be on the left here. We are hashing out the issue of class.

[00:02:06] Alex Tsakiris: Because if you look at people who are traditionally on the right, they go, oh, you’re interfering with my Liberty.

Well, , if you look at people on the left, they’re saying the same thing, you know, you are . somehow inhibiting the Liberty of, , disadvantaged groups in a very real way. , , when I hear you talk about class, I’m just, I’m just like thrown back.

Like what the heck does he even mean by class? My identification in terms of class is my grandfather who came over from Greece when he was 14 years old with a $5 bill sewn into his jacket. That’s all he had. , I’m wealthy now, but that’s just two generations.

Isn’t the dimension that we’re really talking about class mobility.
