the jurogan experience i mean i worry about it you kind of go what happens when the progressives convince facebook that san francisco is is dangerous yeah and that's not outside the realm of possibility at all the this thing that you say about silencing you that's not outside the realm of possibility you know i've seen it i mean we were talking about barry weiss earlier she got [ __ ] basically pushed out of the new york times because of this sort of ideology that's spreading rampant through journalism and journalism has become slash activism and then there's this idea that you have to do whatever you can and by any means necessary push your agenda and silence the oppressors you know even if these suppressors are people like you that are just saying listen you've got to take a more radical approach to dealing with these ever-growing problems and one of the ways might be this carrot in the stick and this idea that you have to give people consequences for their actions and reward people for good actions and we could possibly like build people back up but we're gonna have to do it in a way that's gonna make folks uncomfortable yeah i mean it's definitely it seems like two things are going on at once right there's definitely this top-down effort at censorship and including of people like me in fact i was censored by facebook you were i was how so um when my last book came out they censored um true facts which book is the apocalypse never this one yep um yeah why environmental alarmism hurts us all yeah that came out in june of last year and i was censored um in the article i wrote about it and now other people that write about climate change are being censored i will say though you know i mean how so were you censored like what did you say they put a they put a uh they put a like a warning label on the article that was being shared that was the initial article announcing the book saying this contains misleading and false information it's not true didn't contain a single piece of false information and misleading is a really subjective thing right what
did you say that they objected to the main so the main issues were i point out that we're not in the in the midst of a mass extinction uh a mass extinction is when over when 75 or 90 of all species on earth are are extinct or going extinct in fact only six percent of species are critically endangered and most of them should or will survive the other one is i pointed out that natural disasters are not getting worse deaths from natural disasters have declined over 90 of the last hundred years we're just much better at dealing with hurricanes and floods and and you know non-climate-related disasters like earthquakes as well um and so what they they respond you know that on the disasters they point out that there's some evidence that hurricanes are becoming somewhat more intense but then they leave out the fact that the best available science predicts that hurricanes will become 25 percent less frequent but five percent more intense north atlantic hurricanes but it but i even that doesn't matter because our just we're just so much better at preparing for hurricanes so like vanishingly a few people die i think something like in the most recent i think 2019 something like 400 americans died of natural disasters right it's like 300 because i was like 300 times more people died of drug deaths in the united states than from natural disasters i mean this is how these two books work together is me as a as someone that considers myself liberal or moderate i used to be progressive i don't use that label anymore but my view is the drug crisis is objectively a much bigger threat to human life and to civilization than climate change like we're adapted really well to climate change we should do something about it it's real there are risks associated with it but like there's no scenario in the intergovernmental panel on climate change of climate change killing 93 000 americans a year in fact there's no scenario of it killing of it of increasing deaths from natural disasters at all is it why is it more attractive why is that a more attractive talking point because this is one of the things
that you keep hearing from uh whether it's whistleblowers at news organizations where they're saying that climate change is the next thing they're looking at it according to you know these people that are talking about it they're they're looking at climate change as the next thing that's going to freak people out enough to guarantee ratings niche yeah i mean i i look at the so both of these books are similar in the sense that i debunk popular myths i explain what the solutions are and then i also explore why it is that say the people that say they're the most concerned about climate change oppose the main solutions to reducing carbon emissions or adapting to climate change basically the three things won't surprise you there's financial interests there's just sort of a broader will to power both kind of status and politics and just kind of i'm going to jet around the world and tell people how to live their lives which is hilarious and often happens yes and then the third is um religion and that you know the death of god what nietzsche called the death of god which is basically we just stop believing in traditional religions whether it's judaism or christianity or buddhism or hinduism as we stop believing in traditional religions we still have a fear of death we still have a need to believe in some higher power and so we make new religions and the problem with the new religions whether it's climate apocalypse or wokism or victimology the problem is that the people that are that are the adherents to those new religions don't think that they're promoting a new religion they think that they're just being more compassionate or i'm just being more sensitive or whatever yeah so they're actually more they're more dogmatic than the people in the traditional religions because you know you meet people that have even evangelical views they'll always be like well you know i am an evangelical christian right so they have some awareness of it but but folks that are they don't like these people don't go well i am an apocalyptic environmentalist what they say is they go they go i'm more aware of the science or you know i'm i just love
nature and i just care about poor people more than you it's always cast in some sort of highly charged moralizing framework you know which is like this idea you know it's like this the main idea of the folks that that have created the the disaster in our cities is that they care more that's the conceit you know it's it's the i just care more than you do you are just more you're just insensitive total [ __ ] but that kind of emotional that kind of appeal to emotion um has has a lot of power watch the entire episode for free only on spotify
