And so I actually said this in 2008. I said that the United States in 2008, so two decades ago, should have hit China with a nuclear bomb completely with no warning. Just hit him with a nuclear bomb. No one should be allowed to hold high office unless they have been a successful international businessman because you do not understand the world until you understand international capitalism, if you will. So I think, unfortunately, universal basic income will exist. It'll be very low, and the world will be unrecognizable in 40 years.

Okay, guys, welcome back to the show. We got Marquette today, special guest. Been in the social media game for a long time. Been in the business world for a long time as well. Thanks for coming on today, Marquette.

Thank you for having me.
B (0:51)
Yeah, it's. It's been cool seeing your journey, man, and definitely were an inspiration to me early on. So just want to give you flowers off the rip.
A (0:58)
I appreciate that and shout out to you. I see you have a huge following.
B (1:01)
Yeah, been grinding, man. 2,000 episodes in three years. But what's the latest with you, man? Did you watch the Manosphere documentary that came out last week?
A (1:09)
I did, I did. It was a curious thing. Taught me a little bit more. You'd think I'd know about these guys, but some of them I've met, others I've seen online. Some have reached out for collaboration. And at some level, I was kind of impressed in that some people were very straightforward, like, hey, this is what I do. I do it for money. And other folks, you know, things seem like a little plastic. But one thing that I did appreciate, and I hope others do, too, is that there were young men who felt like they were getting some benefit and some guidance. And at the end of the day, if you can help someone closer to happiness or success, that's a good thing. But obviously there are going to be things that are a little different for me, things that I don't quite agree with. But it was a neat little documentary. It was entertaining, no doubt.
B (1:54)
Absolutely. Do you feel like the manosphere in the red pill movement has gotten a little out of hand lately? Where do you stand on that?
A (2:01)
Well, I don't know how much you've been tracking. I know you said you've been listening for years, but from the very beginning, I always said that I'm hashtag no pill, and I never meddled in these terminologies that reference online groups. I've always been staunchly focused on the value of meeting in real life. And also, I don't think that red pill has ever had real ideology and thereby been a movement with a leader that's heading in a particular direction. So in my view, it's always been a bit lost and misguided and really it's been a haven for young men who are angry. And this is not to suggest that the folks who call themselves red Pill, that some of the speakers in the movement aren't intelligent or insightful, or that they don't have real grievances. But no, frankly, I was just looked at it as a group of online folks who get together to complain.
