This is ISL, Illegitimate Scholar live, news current events discussed by the Illegitimate Scholar. Live recording is done every Thursday night, 8pm eastern

I am joined by Kyle Matovcik who hosts the "In Liberty and Health" Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/3MPZz5GqPoSZMAGRfaXVhG?si=80e41be4e99a46c0

1. DeSantis unveils an aggressive immigration and border security policy that largely mirrors Trump’s
   1. This is a thing people care about. We live in a democracy
   2. The rhetoric is scary, but this is the result for a lot of people of policies that bring a lot of people in, and generally negatively affecting poorer areas rather than the rich
      1. Often the “woke” take a moral high ground
2. Israeli soldier killed in settlement attack; gunman shot dead
   1. Escalation of violence
   2. When people are killed it’s natural to expect a response
   3. Violence begets more violence
   4. Look at this CHILD
3. Israel to buy new fleet of F-35 fighter jets financed by US aid
   1. Healthcare pls
   2. Fix student debt
      1. I don’t believe in student debt forgiveness, but ONLY because it’s unjust and doesn’t solve the unreform and that this is bad for our economy as a whole
4. China’s export curbs a ‘warning’ to US, state media says
   1. I harp on this all the time. We are no longer in a position to exercise power like we are
   2. Trump worked with dictators, was criticized, but we was acting in foreign policy closer to current relative power, while the uniparty acts as if we are as strong relative to the rest of the world as we were in the 90s
   3. The state run company is euphemising a “warning”, they are biased too, but they do have a point. 

1.Judge limits Biden administration contact with social media firms

They did some shady stuff, we all know it. Idk why some people deny

1. Supreme Court says 1st Amendment entitles web designer to refuse same-sex wedding work

It is not a right for other people to do business with you

1. What the Supreme Court's rejection of student loan relief means for borrowers

Most of us on the other side are disillusioned constantly

1. REI fostered a progressive reputation. Then its workers began to unionize

Stop getting jobs based on values

Companies make money. Those are their values

They’re “progressive”. That means lip service to racially based issues, and unfettered calculated capitalism underlying behind a thin veil

If the employees were treated well enough, there wouldn’t be enough support for unionization

1. A revered and powerful female leader revealed by new method to determine sex of old bones
Archaeology and Anthropology are not real science

Everything is so affected by our own perceptions of the world

Just as biases of the past would dismiss evidence of women warriors, which do exist, biases today try to create narratives that may not be true

Physical evidence alone is never enough to make a good argument without other evidence from that society

“Revered leader”

Overview on Chinese History over the course of 4000 years. About half is an overview of ancient China to the Opium Wars, setting up the context for what happens in the 19th century when European imperialism comes to China. The underlying cultural traits of the Han Chinese people are discussed, as well as their different philosophies, perceptions of self, hierarchy, and the perceptions of those around them, Korea, Japan, etc. 

The rest of the podcast is a description of the situation in China during the Opium Wars, the destruction of the Qing dynasty, and the struggle for power culminating in the Chinese Communist Party ruling over mainland China. Within that history is the factions, men and women, and outside events and technology that influenced the shift, and the collective trauma of the Chinese people at multiple civil wars and foreign invasions.

This is Illegitimate Scholar Conversations. A conversation between me, Samuel Urban, and someone I've handpicked to speak about issues of culture, history, social studies, etc.

This episode is from my appearance on Kyle's podcast, In Liberty and Health. Check him out here:

https://open.spotify.com/episode/1MML3Qfk4DD8Vw20tUG4NZ?si=e3417c188e68439c

Okay. Um, so I'm here, uh, trying to do another illegitimate scholar conversations episode to this. Isn't going to be one of my normal episodes. If you're waiting for one of those, those I think are my best products. So please. Uh, next week, there's the ones that are number just 0 3 5 0 3 6. Next week. We're going to start on the first episode.

Of a series on the anthropology of religion and what anthropology has to say about what religion is. And we're going to get deep into that because the value systems in religion are very important in a number of different ways, but. This week, I've got an episode, . Kyle.

Uh, was nice enough to share with me his recording of my appearance on his episode. And I thought it was a really good episode. We talked about a lot of important stuff. And so that's what this is. And I'm going to link to his podcast below. I think everybody should check it out. Cause I think it's a really great show and I like Kyle a whole lot.

So we start with talking about the root of my ideas. We talk about seed oils, um, and modern nutrition shows in Liberty and health. You know, he combines libertarianism with being healthy and, you know, I appreciate that a whole lot. Um, so we talked about shaping culture through education. We talk about how relationships work, how they worked in different times in history and how they work today and the problems of them and the modern tech and what problems that creates in relationships.

We talk about over-processing of food and a number of different things. We talk about technological advance and how the rate of technological advance has changed and what might be different about the technology that we have today. Uh, we talk about conformity of standards between different groups of people, a lot of different groups of people like women, different types of men, people with any sort of mental dis disability or neurodivergence and how that's dealt with in today's society versus some other society.

Um, and we talk about birth control again. That, that kind of goes into the relationship stuff, but I think it's a great episode. I'm happy to put it on my own feet and please check down below not only for more episodes, wait for that anthropology of religion next week, but please rate my podcasting and go since Kyle some love as well. I'm going to have the link to his podcast below.

Um, and yeah. Thank you all for listening.

In this episode of the Illegitimate Scholar Podcast, I delve into the profound consequences of humanity's rejection of its natural roots and the impact it has had on Western civilization. With the increasing disconnect from nature and the accumulation of social constructs over time, our lives have become less aligned with our fundamental needs, leading to a constant state of cognitive dissonance. I explore various themes, starting with the influence of religion, contrasting traditional beliefs that revered nature with the dominance-centric perspectives of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.

As monotheism gained prominence, the concept of control over nature evolved, culminating in the notion that humans are godlike beings exempt from the laws of nature. This departure from our innate connection with the natural world has resulted in issues such as the denial of sexual dimorphism and the rejection of evolutionary principles, as seen in debates over trans athletes and the disregard for biological sex. This alarming trend demonstrates how some individuals fail to recognize themselves as an integral part of nature.

Moreover, I highlight the rising mental health issues in Western societies, drawing attention to the alarming statistics provided by the CDC. The disconnection from nature, compounded by the limited exposure to the outdoors, has been linked to the prevalence of anxiety, depression, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among children and adults. Despite the awareness of the importance of nature, Americans, particularly the younger generation, spend less time outdoors, adversely impacting their well-being.

The episode also explores the detrimental effects of hyper-processed food on our health. Western culture's hyper-individualistic tendencies have led to the breakdown of traditional family structures and a focus on personal desires rather than familial stability. Social constructs have further distanced us from our natural origins and moved us away from a balanced existence.

Join me on the Illegitimate Scholar Podcast as I illuminate the profound consequences of rejecting our human nature, urging a critical reevaluation of our values and lifestyles to ensure a sustainable future for Western civilization.

This is ISL, Illegitimate Scholar live, news current events discussed by the Illegitimate Scholar

I start with a discussion on the Penny indictment and what that means for those who might want to help others in a dangerous situation.

I discuss the implications of a strange firing of a Starbucks manager amongst accusations of racism years ago that just settled for 26 million dollars in favor of the former employee. I speculate Starbucks was aware they were wrong here but calculated the optics of taking action was worth more than the loss of money in the lawsuit.

I discuss LGBTQ+ creatives and the apparent loss in business revenue this year. I further discuss the position of corporations in the United States and why they do not have political opinions. The fall of rainbow capitalism.

I discuss a settlement where Epstein sexual assault survivors were awarded over 290 million by JPMorgan Chase, who were complicit in the trafficking.

 I discuss the apparent status of BMI as racist and speculate that someone, somewhere, is making money off of this new idea.

I discuss fentanyl from China and the historical irony in it.

I discuss the difference between perceptions of race and self in China and in the US.

I discuss a possible arms sale to Hungary, a supposed NATO ally and the line between ally and subordinate nation.

I end with a discussion of emic vs etic, anthropological terms, and the idea of having "non-men" instead of women.

This is Illegitimate Scholar Conversations. A conversation between me, Samuel Urban, and someone I've handpicked to speak about issues of culture, history, social studies, etc.

Next Monday Illegitimate Scholar will return in the original format and that episode will be "rejection of humanity and its consequences". The Monday after that will be ISC 002.

Additionally each Thursday at 8pm my live show will be happening on youtube and soon other platforms:
