00:00 [Music] well hello everybody it's Monday time to cuss out your boss you know the corporate lap dog that will never give you a race don't you wish but sir iously I want to tell you about the confusion between fact and opinion concerning Yours Truly you see I just received an email from a listener named Steve in Prescott Arizona and he wanted to know how much of what I say is just my opinion well Steve it's a good question and I'll do my best to answer answer it and Steve your support is very much

01:06 appreciated before I get all full ass on into this mess there are a few things about me in my show I want to clarify apparently many people out there simply don't understand the difference between opinion and fact if for example I said to someone that two and two is full and they responded with well that's like your opinion I believe it's my opinion that two and two is five which in turn I would say to them you believe what you will but your opinion doesn't mean because reality says it's otherwise you see folks I want to leave

02:02 no doubt I want to be crystal clear with you that unless I State specifically otherwise unless I say I'm uncertain or some of the ideas concerning a certain subject I'm discussing during any episode of my show are actually a bit up in the air I believe 100% in what it is I'm saying I say what I mean and I mean what I say there's no mystery here there nothing coming out of my mouth so whether it be good bad or ugly what I'm telling you is to the best of my knowledge the objective and verifiable

02:53 Truth there is of course an old adage that Everyone's entitled to their own opinion well I take issue with that old adage matter of fact of all the idiotic statements that have ever been made in human history that one is definitely in the top 20 if you hold the opinion such as the person I mentioned earlier who actually believes that 2 + 2 equals 5 my mentally sane belief system tells me without hesitation that you are either an idiot or in some other manner there is an impairment of your mental capacities that is to say such a person

03:45 is not only wrong but they are certainly not entitled to be and the reason why a person should not be entitled to their opinion is that in very many cases in life wrong information can lead to Serious negative consequences up to and including a person ending up prematurely dead which is why I don't live my life based so much on opinion but objective truth this is the value of what you learn from the philosophy of realism so do you understand what I'm saying here I mean if so then everything I'm saying and I'm about to say here is

04:39 preaching to the choir and if not I would only ask that you have the courage and intellectual honesty to reexamine your own opinions and of course you can reach out to me on my website which is in the description below and ask anything you damn well please so at this point if you wondering how or why it is that so many people simply cannot seem to understand not only the difference between truth and opinion but stubbornly cling to an opinion even when it's patently false and can easily be proved otherwise buckle up I'm about to tell

05:28 you the hell and why one of the simplest reasons why people can have such a hard time accepting when they're wrong is that they are simply pigheaded they can be very stubborn the other reason is a bit more complex it's what I refer to as the House of Cards Theory are you with me so far with the House of Cards Theory people's personal identities are built on their own personal belief systems and there's nothing wrong with that per se as a matter of fact everything that I've been telling you not only in this

06:14 episode but in previous episodes as well is a direct reflection of my belief systems no mystery here most people of course understand this but where the problem comes in is when those belief systems are not only wrong but sometimes seriously wrong everything that flows from that is inherently well wrong and depending on what those things are not only can it be very harmful to a person's life but also very harmful to all the people around them and that certainly is not good but people can tend to resist their own

07:04 deeply ingrained dysfunctional narrative because often times the process of replacing a dysfunctional narrative you know with a functional one can and sometimes does cause a person to feel as though their life is imploding like a house of cards because their foundations based on so many false beliefs and narratives it's very weak so they avoid the much needed rebuilding process by living in denial if you know or have known anyone dealing with addiction for example you should know exactly what the hell I'm

07:54 talking about how difficult and exhausting it can be to deal with that at this point I would like to think that I've made it very clear as far as my communication is concerned here I guess the only thing that I could add to this is that sometimes within the context of what I'm saying On Any Given subject I make a joke so I guess while I have your attention I may as well be perfectly clear and unambiguous with that as well there is once again an old adage which says that if they can't take a joke them which is an addage that in this
