01:54:04Brian Atlascurious on other people's thoughts on it uh you wanted to also discuss the struggles of dating while doing only fans so you do o not anymore during that per while you were doing it years ago
01:54:15Brian Atlaswhat kind of content were you doing just like BG any BG content what does that mean boy girl no Okay so content then solo okay uh you said uh you were signed
01:54:28Brian Atlasto an agency and you were working in a strip club you had an horrible experience with it are you talking about the o or the strip club or both um the strip club and then because of the horrible experience there I decided to
01:54:39Brian Atlasquit all of it right you said it was traumatic but the money was amazing you would never do it again you would never do it again because you're hopeless romantic and it made dating impossible and you value your self-respect and
01:54:50Brian Atlasrespect from others more than easy quick money yep yeah and I mean you also dance do you dance Too currently yeah uh have you guys struggled with dating because
01:55:01Brian Atlasof the Dancing Yeah but do you do you do o too yeah of2 no I've only for like a months okay um so for you did you you started stripping before the O correct
01:55:13Brian Atlasno I did I started o in 2020 then you started I started daning two years ago what do you think it like I I was going to ask what do you think would make dating harder stripping or doing oh have stripping for sure stripping for sure way easier because I
01:55:26Nikkionly do boy girl content so I'm never having to leave the house never having to talk to anyone really like I just talk to them in chat but I'm not having to see meet up with them or anything see them in person okay got it yeah we've definitely heard from a lot of uh women
01:55:39Brian Atlason o that they uh struggle with the dating stuff uh let's see would you guys be uh I guess would you object to a guy who didn't want to date you because you guys do o like what do you think that's like would you think he's insecure or
01:55:51Lunaanything like that it's I understand iter no my last relationship uh he wanted me to stop dancing and I stopped dancing out of respect but the one before that I actually met him in the club the when that was the longest
01:56:02Brian Atlasrelationship surprisingly all right um and I guess just finishing up on your previous note uh you said you're currently considering open relationships
01:56:12Melenauh so are you but if I recall you've been single for 6 months you said yeah are you uh did you say there was a guy in the picture I forgot yeah so I'm
01:56:22Melenaseeing one guy right now we both don't really want to settle to one person right now I feel like I'm in a space
01:56:31Melenawhere I'm still like figuring out myself um although like I do want to get married one day what you say you're finding
01:56:41Melenayourself on the journey I mean I think I'll always be discovering more about myself but I think because I was recently in like a
01:56:51Melenavery unhealthy abusive relationship I'm not ready to get into a new relationship okay all right uh and then
01:57:02Brian Atlasuh Andrew do you have a question for the panel I need to get up for just a moment do you have a a line of i' like to just uh dive into a couple of quick things if
01:57:11Andrew Wilsonyou don't mind heading back over to the raiki how did you get involved in that just some buddy of yours or something um
01:57:20MelenaI was actually it was while was a patient in rehab they're um they would do this like sound bath breath work class and then someone would go around
01:57:31Melenaand do raiki and I had a really powerful experience with that um was that like guided meditation you mean yeah like a guided meditation and they'll guide you through the breath work like Wim Hoff
01:57:42Melenabreath work um so then I started working for that nonprofit and getting certified and I'll go around and do the raike while they have the breath class now so
01:57:53Melenait's a job for you yeah I don't get paid for they pay you to do the raiki I get paid with my private clients um but with the nonprofit all of the proceeds go
01:58:04Andrew Wilsontowards bringing meditation to children in schools so I do it for free that's really cool let me ask you a question mhm if you were to discover that there could be like some Placebo benefits
01:58:16Andrew Wilsonmeaning doesn't actually work but because some people think it works it has some positive influence fluence on them but you were able to discover 100% that it was fake would you still do it
01:58:27Melenabecause you thought that it gave people positive results even if it was fake yeah I think I would just because I think the whole reason I do it is to help other people um so if it's still
01:58:39Melenaproviding that I would probably still do it yeah really you wouldn't see any ethical issues with that um well if there was like a study
01:58:50Melenathat it wasn't 100% like it 100% wasn't true and like everyone knew about it that's what I was assuming okay yeah if they were like also aware all right
01:59:02Andrew Wilsonquick question for the uh for the rest of the panelists while Brian's up just a quick show of hands can you raise your hand if you've ever done witchcraft or have any type of association with
01:59:13Andrew Wilsonwitchcraft this would include Ouija boards you know stuff like that just uh just the fun goofy stuff right I do full moon rituals you do what what are full moon
01:59:25Melenarituals you what are full moon rituals what are these you live I'll write down my like fears and like certain things I want to be removed and then burn it
01:59:36Lunaunder the full moon so if that's witchcraft yeah yeah ask your definition of Witchcraft cuz I've done a few things but I don't know if it was like I did a Ouija board when I was
01:59:48Jay Hannah18 I didn't like it I think it messed up my life I think this is kind of I I don't know if I'd quite call it witchcraft but it's kind of in the same category but there I
01:59:59Jay Hannahwas talking to the sky during Co who I had a really big crush on him at the time and cuz you know we were all in quarantine I was staying inside I was bored so I would do this manifesta
02:00:10Jay Hannahspecific person meditation on YouTube every day to try to manifest a relationship with this guy and I did it every day for probably like eight months
02:00:20Jay Hannahand he ended end up he ended up rejecting me but then after he rejected me I got I got really angry and cuz he started dating this other he started dating this other girl like he told me
02:00:30Jay Hannahhe was like oh I'm I like you but I'm just not ready and then a month later he's dating this other girl and then that was when I met when I met my ex the last one the one who was really abusive
02:00:42Jay Hannahand then after I broke up with this ex this guy ended up reaching out about like saying that he likes me and wants to try again so I guess it did kind of work but by then I was no longer
02:00:54Andrew Wilsoninterested in him cuz I kind of realized like he's a nice guy but we're just not compatible anymore well let's say for a second that uh you just obsessed over this guy rather than trying to manifest
02:01:07Andrew Wilsonanything so I understand what you're saying it's like the Law of Attraction type thing you're talking about yeah where yeah yeah got it like like you watch the secret and after you watched the secret it changed your life type of
02:01:18Jay Hannahthing yeah it's a not the secret but it was a the Kevin Trudeau's your wishes your command was the first one that that was my first I guess Deep dive into manifestation when my friend sent me
02:01:29Andrew Wilsonthose audios and uh after I started listening to those and then just wanting to learn more and more about it and it went from there how to manifest the things you want so let's just say that you were super obsessive about this person what would be the distinction
02:01:42Jay Hannahbetween that and manifesting something uhuh I just like believe that I believed it would work and also you know we were all in quarantine I think that kind of [ __ ] with a lot of
02:01:54Jay Hannahpeople's heads on some level I don't think I don't think I would do that now it's like right now I'm I'm way too busy I work a lot I'm way too busy to spend
02:02:02Andrew Wilson20 minutes a day on a meditation like that bored it was like Co related witchcraft You're just bored so trying
02:02:11Andrew Wilsonto manifest up the guy you wanted yeah pretty much yeah okay all right all right what other witchcraft stories we got here I've used money candles to make like hopefully make like obviously more
02:02:24Lunamoney I had a money tree for a little bit and then what's a what's a money tree it's like a it's literally like a tree that manifests money I don't know what yeah is it a bonsai it's a plant
02:02:35Lunayeah bonsai tree mhm I never does it manifest money it's like a really popular thing in Korea um I light a candle and I put a $100 bill underneath and I let it burn and um kind of just
02:02:46Lunalike I repeat the number like of the amount of money that I want to make that night so that it um manifests it pretty much I don't know did it work uh it has worked several times uh
02:02:58Andrew Wilsonsometimes I make the exact amount or more really so what do you think that's better way to make money than taking that 100 and investing it well I don't burn the 100 but it's just under burn it
02:03:10Lunaright yeah I'm just I'm just I'm just pointing it out anyway what else what else you got and then tarot cards but I'm not like I'm not the best at it um but I have doubled in it like here and
02:03:22Lunathere it's not something I really focus on anymore cuz it can get really toxic um but yeah what do you mean it can cause like paranoia if you're keep getting your cards read and like or it
02:03:33Lunacan cause Obsession or anything like obsession with a person and thinking like oh my God they're going to come back and like you know things like that like the Tik Tok people like the way they do it and like how it's like spread every like it's just like a reading
02:03:46Andrew Wilsonafter reading after reading that can like that can become really toxic for the brain okay anybody else nobody else nobody else has the wit
02:03:58Melenathis isn't really witchcraft I don't think but I see the same psychic every month for you see a psychic does anybody else see a psychic not anymore I've seen one are they across the street from the
02:04:10Melenapsychologist no it's my sister's friend from high school oh really yeah was he a psychic in high school um I think it was
02:04:19Andrew Wilsonlike right around the end of high school so like 10 15 years ago H well did any good insights there yeah
02:04:30Melena[Music] um about my life right now she's like quit your job good things are coming start the podcast with dark
02:04:42Andrew Wilsoncavia okay all right let's move on to a different line of questioning here nobody else has any witchcraft stories very quickly uh by a show of hands raise your hand if you've ever dated a narcissist go
02:04:58Andrew Wilsonahead okay man so just a lot of people who have dated a narcissist all right real quick show of hands raise your hand those of you who've dated a narcissist
02:05:09Andrew Wilsonwhere that narcissist was actually diagnosed by somebody who was not you
02:05:22Melenaum can I add something to that go ahead it's pretty rare that narcissism is diagnosed because what the disorder is is not being able to admit your wrongs
02:05:33Melenalike that's part of it um so like if a therapist is only hearing their side where like they're the victim they're not going to know that they're a narcissist uh well I I don't understand
02:05:45Andrew Wilsonand most there seems to be quite a few people who are more than capable of dating a narcissist I just saw many of them raise their hands quite a few people who seem to be quite capable of saying you're a narcissist or not a narcissist
02:05:58Melenawhen you say it doesn't go diagnosed it doesn't seem to stop you from diagnosing it because the person diagnosing is only hearing the narcissist side and part of the narcissism is that they're the victim they're not going to admit like
02:06:11Melenait's a control thing certain things yeah you let down your guard with the person you're dating and that's how you see people's true col I think it's what you're getting at like my therapist has said that my mom's a narcissist but my
02:06:22Melenamom's therapist doesn't say that but me and all of my sister's therapists does because my mom therapist is only hearing her side not that
02:06:33Andrew Wilsonshe physically abused her children yeah I mean I do assume that narcissists do have or who you think is a narcissist have their side of the
02:06:43Andrew Wilsonstory too right like that's not supposed to just be dismissed because you think they're a narcissist valid but don't you have to include both sides to get a diagnosis yeah but if you did include both in this
02:06:55Andrew Wilsoncase the diagnoser is only including their side right the diagnos no the diagnoser in this case would be the women who say that they've dated a narcissist they're only
02:07:06Brian Atlasincluding their side how could they be including the other person's side yeah I get what you're saying that makes sense yeah yeah did you uh did you have a bit more
02:07:18Andrew WilsonAndrew otherwise I'll just finish up on the notes Here Yeah well just uh just just the last thing um I I just wanted to to ask who here has dated from their
02:07:29Andrew Wilsonperception more than one narcissist show of hands
02:07:37Nikkireally oh so so you like how do you keep finding so many narcissists how how I think it comes when when you're like a Healer you want to help other people and you see these people are damaged and
02:07:49Jay Hannahthen they take advantage of you because see how good and caring you are and they just don't do that they don't reciprocate it yeah that's exactly what happened to me with my last ex he just literally depleted me so completely I
02:08:01Jay Hannahwas like when we broke up I was like a shell of everything like it was like all my magic had been just completely drained out when we broke up and then I had to rebuild a she said magic they
02:08:13Andrew Wilsonreally know how to break your magical true it is how it feels though it literally is okay last question and then I'll let Brian moving on raise your hand if you think there's a good possibility
02:08:25Andrew Wilsonthat Brian Atlas the host of the show is a narcissist the guy who's in the room with you right now just kidding just kidding just kidding okay and then raise
02:08:36Jay Hannahyour hand if you think I'm a narcissist just kidding just kidding again just kidding just kidding all right what about
02:08:46Brian Atlasmisogynist I think some misogyny is like not what she about to say okay I don't think it's the same like a low level of misogyny you're kind of down for you're
02:08:57Lunadown for the cause I don't know why but yes you're down from the misogyny okay I think narcissism's different from misogyny though okay all right I think cuz sometime my last relationship I was
02:09:07Brian Atlasthe narcissist so that's why just okay uh let's blast through these notes then we can get to the juicy stuff in the questionnaire uh Nikki you said that you've had so many crazy dating stories
02:09:18Nikkiyour ex tried to ex's plural excuse me m tried to kill you yeah two different B the the two the ones that I was in the twoe relationship both of them tried to kill me and both times I got help from other people so well actually okay long
02:09:32Nikkistory short when you say they were trying to kill youe one tried to shoot me like twice with a Glock actually shot yeah with the Glock like he had the gun pointed well no he literally was going to and I literally was begging him to stop and his mom was in the other room
02:09:43Nikkiand I was crying begging him to stop and then that was the final STW hold uh wait hold on are you okay no period je wait so two separate guys two separate
02:09:56Nikkioccasions only one one tried to shoot me the other one just like strangled me and then but he had a gun did you one just one dided oh just one had a gun yeah just one had a gun and the other one strangled me the other one strangled you
02:10:07Nikkiyeah was it like a one hand or a two it was two hands and but luckily the cops came the cops found us and so with the gun though he pointed the gun yeah at your like how close was he he was he was
02:10:19Nikkijust like this like just straight far way like closer than this like I was standing like in the middle of the table was the gun touching your head no he was just facing it right towards me and like and I didn't know if it was loaded or not and I just didn't want to take any
02:10:31Nikkicuz I knew he had bullets his whole family has guns I know he had bullets and he would do it so I just had to beg for my life and you know play the part okay um how long ago was that this was
02:10:44Cassieum 2 years ago right before I moved down to La this that's why I moved down here to get far away from him okay I don't blame you at all that's horrifying um so like I've heard a similar story like
02:10:55Cassiethat like working in mental health and like a lot of the times when women are in these horrible you know danger situations um they're like they've normalized like being in horrible
02:11:08Cassiedangerous situations I was used to getting beat that's what I wanted to know like so when you were younger like one of your parents beat you no no it's just my exes that beat me your exes yeah
02:11:18Cassiethem so when you first realiz I that they were abusive verbally emotionally physically why didn't you leave and I'm not victim blaming it's just that I I
02:11:29Cassiehear this a lot and sometimes like girls actually die so like I'm just curious like cuz there had to be something before the gun you know I felt like I had no support and you know I felt like
02:11:40NikkiI was alone I had animals at I lived with both of them so I feel like that also made me feel tied down to them and I had two pets at the time with them so not only did I have to escape myself I had to escape my animals too you know so
02:11:52NikkiI had to come up a plan and it's just you know I felt like I had no options wait what yeah you couldn't leave the abusive relationship because of fluffy I had two chinchillas and like I just you
02:12:04Nikkiknow I wanted to save them chinchilla wait they were chinchillas they were chinchillas yeah and I wanted to save them cuz you know I didn't want to I couldn't leave them like they were my babies they were all I had left you know like I was what's a chinchilla is that a
02:12:16Nikkitype of rabbit it's a looks yeah looks like a squirrel almost it's a rabbit no looks like a mix between a squirrel and a rabbit let me Google this [ __ ] it
02:12:25Andrew Wilsonlooks like a fluffy rat anyway you so you you put yourself In Harm's Way can like bite off a couple fluffy rats yeah you know my mom tells me other day like I should have just
02:12:37Nikkileft those animals but you know I can't do that it's not in my heart wait would you still have them no I had to give them up to move down here because they I thought but you know I'm glad I I saved them from him you know what I mean
02:12:50Andrew Wilsonhe probably would killed them oh yeah so he didn't give a [ __ ] about them so I had to you know I could see a dog or like a cat but like no I couldn't see that either but I would at least grant that there could be a bigger emotional
02:13:02NikkiBarn yeah well and also like I was living with him at the time so he made me he isolated me from my family like I wasn't allowed to talk to my mom I wasn't allowed to talk to my sister like which is insane even saying that but I
02:13:14Nikkiliterally just felt trapped how long have you been in like dangerous situations um like a lot oh well I mean with like I mean depending like I in danger situations even with guys I'm not
02:13:27Cassiedating like I got chased the other night by some guy like some random guy she like she just always happen I'm sorry it's just I hear this a lot so when you when you are and and I'm not saying this is no fault of your own but when you are
02:13:39Cassiein dangerous situations for a prolonged period of time the only like one of the main ways one of the only ways you can die is violently cuz like I've seen girls that like they're fa is like
02:13:51Nikkislashed cuz they were in a situation that they felt like they couldn't get out of I definitely felt like I couldn't get away and that's why I had to for the second one I had to talk to my work and come up with the Escape Plan and ask his
02:14:03Nikkisister worked with me at at this job and I had to tell her about all the be and she helped me come up with an Escape Plan cuz she knew how her brother was she knew he had a history of abusing girls and so she wanted to help me okay
02:14:14Melenaso you know she she gave me theing yeah part this is not where I thought this was going for real like summer you said you uh Church camp
02:14:24Brian AtlasOh you said that you found out that uh one of your exes was doing meth yeah so this when you went through his pockets yeah this is like the one guy who I went through his phone I don't do this
02:14:36Nikkianymore because I know I'm going to find [ __ ] I don't like but yeah he would he would so he would basically when you're on meth like it puts you in a deep sleep when you finally crash so he would be in such a deep sleep that I know he wasn't going to wake up so I'd go through his phone so I'd reach my hand in his
02:14:50Nikkipockets and then I found a meth pipe and then like the next day I confronted him about I broke that [ __ ] and then I confronted him and he said it was his brother's so then I went up to his brother and I'm like hey I'm sorry I broke your pipe I didn't know it was yours and the brother just looked at me
02:15:00Nikkilike uh okay and then I found out he was doing math and then everything made sense why he would steal things from people why he'd steal from me he stole money from me to go gambling and like I was the only one working at the time so
02:15:11Brian Atlashe would steal my last dollar to go gambling okay um and then you also said you enjoy speaking on dating dating sex workers as you are one you date male sex
02:15:23Brian Atlasworkers is what you're saying or no like I just how you know it's hard for your own experiences dating as a sex worker okay and then I guess a different one moving on you said with modern dating I feel like we bring back old traditions
02:15:35Nikkilike the man provides and we clean what do you mean by that um I mean I I would love to be a stay-at-home mom so I don't mind if a man wants to just you know let work all you know work for us and then I would just stay home and clean like I'm perfectly fine with that but I'm also
02:15:48Nikkibeen the one to where I'm the only one working and I provided for the man so I've I've done both but I prefer to be provided for I understand the the idea
02:15:58Nikkihere that um you want to stay home while the man works I get that but I would still be open to doing like only fans working from home so I could still be working from home or doing twitch from
02:16:09Andrew Wilsonhome like YouTube I would love to just still work from home you know what I mean well what is what is do you think the exchange is what does he get um in exchange for you staying home um I mean I would just take care of him take care
02:16:23Nikkiof the house you know do whatever he needs whatever he asks I feel I feel like I still wanted to you know whatever he asked I would do I want to do my part still it's not like I want him to just be the only one bring bringing in the
02:16:34Andrew Wilsonmoney like that's why I'd still love to just work from home and help you know I I'm I'm a giver so I do what I can do you think that the kind of man who would want you just to be a stay-at-home mom
02:16:46Nikkiwould want you to do only fans um it depends you know with the age some guys don't care some do but I'm always willing I mean most most men who want to settle down and have a family probably wouldn't want that yeah and I
02:16:58Nikkifeel like if I were to have a family I wouldn't want to do only fans anymore because I feel like yeah and I would stop dancing too if I would have settle down and have a family with somebody okay yeah and then also in your notes
02:17:09Brian Atlasyou said that uh you said it's also fun to be the bread winner you're used to being the one who provides for the man in the relationship and you've been seeking a man who will provide uh you've
02:17:20Brian Atlasbeen keeping your options open and that's pretty much pretty much it uh you do you speak Cambodian I don't no I was adopted you're adopted okay all right
02:17:31Brian Atlasgoing to Ali oh goodness Ali here Ally here I think your in your Instagram there's a tagline that says wait oh okay never mind that's something that's somebody else my bad you describe
02:17:42Brian Atlasyourself as a polyamorous disabled queer woman who used to run an all Queer honey
02:17:51Ali Coringroup indeed I did and you have so many stories what is first off what is a uh honey group what is that that was what they cumulatively named it it was just
02:18:02Ali Corinthat like the girls did not feel safe whenever CIS men were in the group because a lot of them had trauma I had a bunch of friends that uh I worked I've
02:18:13Ali Corinnever been like a dancer like these lovely gals have love that could never personally because like I just don't think that I handle it but I was a goo dancer met a bunch of girls that wanted
02:18:24Ali Corinlike a community of queer women to hang out with and just chose it yeah Meetup Group you guys had a group how many people were in the group queer honey bunny group I think the most that were
02:18:34Brian Atlasever in the group was 45 45 okay I did you mentioned something there that I uh kind of took a note on you said that a lot of these women they had trauma with cismen so cismen were not obviously
02:18:46Brian Atlasallowed to join the group that's what I'm just saying um do you think that this is uh uh granting that they had this trauma these poor experiences with CIS men
02:18:58Brian Atlaswhich by the way well that's a whole another I'll save the CIS conversation for later I guess but um do you think that this is a sexist position to hold I think it could be I think that just in my position it was
02:19:10Ali Corinasked of me that cismen were not included because it was to find other queer women to hang out with like I don't think that all spaces need to include everyone yeah sure I don't think like I think you could for example want
02:19:22Brian Atlasto like associate with people of a certain group uh it's it's you're not necessarily trying to prude other people uh but the the justification for precluding other people seems to be I
02:19:34Brian Atlashad one two or perhaps multiple poor experiences with cismen uh airo it wasn't just personal experiences it was just like the the way well that's the first thing you said so yes they've had
02:19:46Ali Corina lot of them did but I'm just saying it's not all just personal experience of of like a trauma happened to me but just like movies portray men in dark shadows like if you want to go that deep of like not feeling safe in a group like this
02:19:58Ali Coringroup was meant for like women to come and have pool parties and we hosted going to queer clubs and I just don't think that that number one would have fit in the space anyways but also with
02:20:10Ali Corinthe majority of women in my group and by majority I mean like everyone but maybe one stating that they would not have felt safe to fully be themselves in that environment if a CIS man was there that speaks me and I didn't need to make a decision
02:20:22Brian Atlaswould you be fine like with establishments also doing these kind of uh like uh ex exclusions like uh like a like a business for example I think that's harder I think like how do you like what about an all female gym and
02:20:35Brian Atlasthey're like hey we've we acknowledge that women have had poor experiences with men so we're going to like exclude men from joining this gym and it's going to be an all women gym like would you be okay with that or I don't think it's like any of my business to say whether you can do it or not but I think if I
02:20:47Ali Corinwere the business owner I don't know how you would pull something like that off off and still be inclusive like legally not legally just like respectfully on like if someone comes into a gym and you bring in like you're bringing in all kinds of conversations like a transom
02:21:00Ali Corincomes in like how do you define who a transwoman is if they say they a trans woman at a woman's gym what I work at a woman's gym yeah see I think it women at ours right so I'm I'm just going to go ahead and Grant that if you were to
02:21:13Brian Atlasstart a business you'd be allowed to have trans women I'm speaking about I personally don't like this term but CIS men yeah I think that that's fine why would it not be fine for the business to
02:21:24Brian Atlasexclude CIS men yeah okay um and you so similarly then I assume you'd be fine with like businesses excluding CIS women like Banning them from being able to enter businesses and establishments okay
02:21:37Ali Corinso you're like in favor of segregation what about uh what about gayman say that again what about gayman again you're coming down to like how are you going to Define like weren't all Queer clubs
02:21:49Andrew Wilsonsupposed to be just for queer people straight men still go into vet women well here here I I'll Define it pretty easily if you're a part of a same-sex relationship and you're a male you can't thank you for a man explaining that to
02:22:01Andrew Wilsonme I appreciate actually so much how do you I don't understand how do you say it depends on your definition and then when I give you the definition you call it man I'm that can you as a business owner
02:22:12Andrew Wilsonwhen someone's coming to your door and you're going to turn them away like based on XYZ like that's just I mean I'm happy to give you the definition that you asked for the
02:22:23Andrew Wilsondefinition would be two males who are same sex for sure and they're they only have sex with males you call them homosexuals and you want to ban them from the business there you go there's your definition I'm sorry that I had to
02:22:36Ali Corinmanplay that for you giving you the definition that you asked for but there you go if if cumulatively gay men which I'm not saying they have or will um created an unsafe environment for the other people
02:22:48Andrew Wilsonwho wanted to be in that business then I would AG with it so if if straight heterosexual CIS males said nobody except straight heterosexual CIS males can come to this gym you would agree with
02:23:01Andrew Wilsonthat yes wasn't that what you just asked me I well I'm just clarifying I just wanted to yes or no so I mean so as as long as you're fine with that then the
02:23:11Andrew Wilsoninclusivity uh portion of this if men wanted to have a gym um that was only exclusive to um heteronormative beh Behavior you wouldn't actually have an
02:23:21Ali Corinissue with that just want just want to be clear I think that that's cornering someone into an answer that's super controversial it like it comes down to like what is the cause what is the reason is it for safety because because
02:23:33Andrew Wilsonthey don't want them there is it for safety or is it to be ass sure sure just the just dealing with them could potentially create an unsafe situation for both parties right like if you were a bigot like just think about this
02:23:45Andrew Wilsonlogically let's say that they were all just bigots they just actually just didn't like them because they were homosexuals how would that not create an unsafe situation by letting them in to
02:23:56Ali Corinbegin with I just don't think that you can cumulatively have that many people unless you're like exclusively asking for it to be invited into a space like you're you're assuming that every man in
02:24:08Andrew Wilsona gym is going to be a bigot or are you just saying that there's a bigot gym well no I'm saying that there's a let's say there's a gym which is bigoted on purpose cuz that's what they want right
02:24:18Andrew Wilsonthey only want bigoted they want bigoted people to come to this gym that's the only thing that they care about is that you're uh what you would consider to be
02:24:27Andrew Wilsona bigot they only want heteronormative CIS straight men in the gym that's it okay so so if that was the case and all of the men who were joining that gym
02:24:38Andrew Wilsonhave the same type of ideology wouldn't it necessarily follow that it would be unsafe for somebody who didn't follow that suit that they would be unsafe just by trying to join it yeah I hear you and
02:24:49Brian AtlasI mean like if they all want to meet up in one space and have that opinion for themselves and they can go for it I don't want to be there
02:24:57Brian Atlasso a couple things a couple clarifying things I guess um would you it sounds like you're kind of okay with people like business owners being able to like
02:25:08Brian Atlasdiscriminate is that a fair to discriminate no to create safe environments yes okay so like do and so this for gender do you think this is fair fair play correct can I ask you a
02:25:22Ali Corinquestion a follow-up question can I answer your question with a question cuz you seem to do how about to answer my question then you can ask me a question and I'll answer your question no is there a reason why you're trying to Corner me into having a negative answer you did it at the beginning of our conversation too I how is it cornering
02:25:35Ali Corinyou and what do you mean by negative answer every time I answer it with like a logical standpoint of like women should us women should all cumulatively
02:25:44Ali Corinbe able to feel safe in environment and if we require being only with women mhm then isn't that just for safety like I don't understand the issue testing he's
02:25:56Ali Corintesting the supposition yeah so I mean I don't think it's I'm not sure what you mean by cornering but no I just mean like every time I have a logical answer there's a follow-up question with like
02:26:06Andrew Wilsonwhen people the word segregation put into it when people make um or have uh inductive reasoning which you're using right now which is fine right that's most most of the reasoning that most people use is
02:26:18Andrew Wilsoninductive um most of the time it's not tested but most inductive reasoning is based around suppositions and suppositions which people hold so all that's happening when you say why are
02:26:30Andrew Wilsonyou trying to Corner me into a negative answer that's the opposite like I just want to know that's the hang on hang on almost done that's the opposite of what's Happening he's trying to Corner you into an answer whether it's negative
02:26:42Andrew Wilsonor positive it's totally irrelevant just trying to see where the inductive reasoning follows okay um but so I think I I was asking a question
02:26:53Ali Corinthere um it sounded like you didn't want to answer it unless you do am I fine with businesses choosing who they want to do business for yes okay you're fine with that so like for example let's and
02:27:04Brian Atlasyou said for safety reasons like that's enough justification for like wanting to preclude people from being able to participate in your business can you can you
02:27:16Brian Atlasstop sure okay so if like a cooh or group of like white people for example felt unsafe around black people because they had anecdotal like they had their
02:27:26Brian Atlasown poor experiences that came down to safety when it came to uh like actual experiences with black people and they said I don't want to allow black people into my businesses you'd be okay with
02:27:37Ali Corinthat morally okay with it no do I think that it could happen law and morals are very different right yeah I agree with that why would it be immoral though what
02:27:49Brian Atlasdo you mean why would that be I mean I was literally told I was not allowed to say certain words so oh well I mean it's more so like there's certain topics we have to avoid but like we can talk about racism we just don't want you to be
02:28:01Brian Atlasracist on the show understood if that makes sense yeah yeah why I'm just wondering like we we don't want you to use slurs or like say the nword or like that sort of stuff so for sure I didn't hear what you said I'm
02:28:12Andrew Wilsonsorry oh yeah no no problem so um I understand too when you have a video link like this it's difficult uh sometimes when you have a room full of people to communicate back and forth so
02:28:22Andrew Wilsonuh that's actually a problem I have too uh but my question was uh why would that be actually a moral quandry for you if you if you don't have any actual um you know issues with it as a matter of law
02:28:34Andrew Wilsonlet's say why would it why would it actually stand as a moral quandry because there's a racial issue there well it's wouldn't it be like a gender sex issue then for sure but what you're
02:28:46Ali Corinsaying is like oh we have Quantified proof we have Quantified evidence this of you why people have made this group of white people unsafe
02:28:56Ali Corinright what if you open up your Viewpoint and you look at the masses what if you say instead of looking at this group of people that chose it scientifically you can't just handpick
02:29:08Ali Corinwhich group you want to use as a control right so if you're looking at everyone in the United States for example MH that's not the popular opinion so then I would say that that's not I
02:29:21Andrew Wilsoncounter this would be countered to intersectionality though because intersectionality is literally making all of these groups into micro groups as controls just so that they can test for
02:29:31Andrew Wilsonsuch offenses so if that is the case uh yeah buty referring to people we're having this conversation I couldn't actually think of a way that you could
02:29:41Andrew Wilsoncreate controls better than to take micro groups and then apply whatever the idea of social injustice that particular group has and then um you know follow it
02:29:53Ali Corinto its conclusion essentially like how else could you even do that as a control by choosing controls that don't know each other because in the hypothetical is that this group of people got together which mean they know well let's
02:30:05Andrew Wilsonsay they didn't get together right but they all had kind of something of the same shared experience and they all wanted to get together like it it it seems like it's a kind of a silly distinction without Merit right not
02:30:19Andrew Wilsonnecessarily if you're asking ask me how to find a control that's going back to the other conversation right yeah yeah but I mean even this if we if we have this as a control we could just we I mean we could just factor in whatever control you wanted to it still wouldn't
02:30:31Andrew Wilsonreally get to the heart of the moral quandry if if One race or another race says they feel discriminated against based on a b c and d it's opinion based
02:30:40Ali Corinyeah I get what you're saying I mean I totally hear your opinion I I I hear you however I think like when you're getting down to like morality I don't think that anything should be separated I don't think that anyone
02:30:53Ali Corinshould fear for their life when they walk or roll down the street I don't think that you know any of this should be a topic of conversation because nobody should be put in a position where
02:31:02Andrew Wilsonthey have to choose but we have yeah but you're but but what you're going off of isn't even brute facts it's just feelings right so you're going off the idea people feel unsafe they feel like
02:31:15Andrew Wilsonbad things going to happen even if there is actually no kind of statistical data to back that up but that's a double-edged sword why couldn't the other group say the exact same thing in opposition this makes us feel unsafe
02:31:26Ali Corinthis makes us feel discriminated against etc etc it' be the same exact thing for sure I hear what you're saying however again it comes down to like history and facts and whenever you add the two
02:31:38Ali Corintogether I create emotion you create emotion Emotions Don't just fly at you and hit you in the head like they come from a place based in fact based in
02:31:48Ali Corinhistory that's come from a place based in fact that's no I'm saying it's you don't just get an emotion because it whacks you in the head it comes from somewhere you have something that influences you and then you have an emotion I'm just saying or you have
02:32:01Andrew Wilsonnothing that influences you and you have an emotion because biology is strange right so it's like even even that statement in and of itself is kind of silly but if you if you were to back it up right and look it uh cuz what you're
02:32:14Andrew Wilsonwhat you're saying is let's look at the macro versus the micro I think that's fair right I think that that's fair to say I want to look at kind of all the entire picture instead of the micro picture but that would the only way to
02:32:27Andrew Wilsonget a clear picture of the macro would be for you to use intersectional logic right so you would have to come in and say this group and this group and this gr even in fact when you even reference historical standards you could only
02:32:40Andrew Wilsonapply them through the prism of the group that's that would be like feminist standpoint theory for instance feminists say well history should be revised through the lens of women otherwise how could you really know what their lived
02:32:52Andrew Wilsonexperience was but wouldn't that be the same case with any group I mean I guess it could be I it just comes down to like when you're asking my
02:33:01Ali Corinopinion I base it off of supporting what has happened again you can go down to intersectionality and crossover and this and that and for each
02:33:13Ali Corinand every scenario that you could come up with I'm going to tell you like if it creates a safe environment where there are already was not one more power to you do I want to be a part of all of those situations most likely not but
02:33:26Andrew Wilsonwould you only my follow-up question to this then is would you only base that around how people felt if they felt safe versus if there was an objective standard for no that's why I was saying
02:33:38Andrew Wilsonlike I understand if they were to say okay so if that's the case then if there were such discriminatory gym let's say who only discriminated against people
02:33:47Andrew Wilsonwho were lgbtq in this in this particular instance and the lgbtq people felt unsafe due to that however the brute fact was not that they were
02:33:58Ali Corinactually unsafe then who do we side with there I don't think you side with anyone I think that that's just I
02:34:09Ali Corinlisten to side with one side on on any situation you can give me I don't agree with I think that you should put yourself in each and everyone's shoes not to say I could ever actually
02:34:22Ali Corinknow what that person is going through but the only way we're going to find any kind of unity any kind of you know level common ground is by trying to start to understand other people's lived
02:34:33Andrew Wilsonexperiences yeah sure but but what if you do understand their lived experience I don't you based on your even based on your lived experience and what you're telling me from your emotional standpoint still reject it because
02:34:45Andrew Wilsonapplied in the real world doesn't make any sense or it's silly or I just have a fundamental disagreement with it the idea that you can just kind of uh partake in someone's shoes and then
02:34:55Andrew Wilsonthrough an empathetic link uh discover that you have more shared in common than not I think that there's some possibility there however I also think that there's good logical reputations
02:35:07Andrew Wilsonthat you can make for why you should often ignore the empathetic experience and ignore why it is that people want you to walk a mile in their shoes it's
02:35:16Ali Corinoften detrimental to you to do so right that's your opinion you don't think so I think that it could be in a scenario if you gave them when I agreed with but like I can't just blanketly agree with a
02:35:28Andrew Wilsonvague scenario well here's a good example of it let's take a a principle that you're talking about here which is a harm principle based around safety if you were to say for instance uh so I'm
02:35:40Andrew Wilsonan Orthodox Christian if you were to say that uh Andrew it causes great harm for you to not use a person's gendered pronouns it causes him harm causes him
02:35:52Andrew Wilsonsome degree of suffering and some degree of discomfort I could equally counter with but as an Orthodox Christian it causes me a great degree of discomfort to lie to them because from my worldview
02:36:03Andrew Wilsonthat's exactly what I'm doing now in this case you have to put yourself in my shoes and empathize with me while I empathize with you who do we side with
02:36:13Ali Corinhere I if you're an Orthodox Christian isn't there something that says that you should love others equally and not judge
02:36:25Andrew Wilsonisn't that the same harm you're doing to yourself no first of all of course you can righteously judge this is a Biblical principle and without righteous judgment you could never actually do a condemnation of sin ever so you have to
02:36:37Andrew Wilsonhave righteous judgment but not only that the idea here is even if this was the case that um that that you're supposed to show love and you are it's
02:36:49Andrew Wilsonnot loving to tell the truth and from the prism of the Christian they believe they're telling the truth and that you're lying and demanding they L that's
02:37:00Ali Corintheir lived experience that's their worldview okay their Liv worldview than I would say for that person to exit the scenario that's when you walk away you don't cause any kind of hoopla and you
02:37:12Andrew Wilsonjust go because you can't change everyone's opinion you can't change everyone why hang on see what I mean why don't they go that's what I'm referring to yeah they go so so in in the case of a oh you're in a convenience store or
02:37:25Andrew Wilsonsomething like this somebody says somebody says it's ma'am and you say no it's sir why are they
02:37:35Ali Corinwrong in their own opinion they're not wrong and I get what you're getting at I get what you're getting at but telling them to leave now you're opening a whole other book well who do we side with I don't know I I feel like this is
02:37:47Ali Corinsuch a controversial thing trying to get into the like as a Christian how is it more important to you to not lie than to be a kind human and not harm others well you're you're asking for a conflict in
02:38:00Andrew Wilsonprinciple why can't why can't I say that I think it's the greatest kindness not to lie to individuals and so I don't and this upholds the Christian ethics and principles but from your worldview you
02:38:13Andrew Wilsonsay but Andrew this does harm to us because ites almost done almost done because it makes us feel bad makes us feel terrible this type of thing it's like that's fair but I still need to know how do we how
02:38:25Ali Corindo we decide these threshold Breakers exactly okay I have genuinely a a question I would love to hear your answer on you're say you're religion again can he answer mine and then I'll
02:38:36Ali Corinanswer yours that's fine but I okay answer mine and then I'll answer yours that's fair who should I side with I don't have an answer I think each each person is on their own side and if I
02:38:47Ali Corinwere to walk in personally me myself in that scenario Mario I would diffuse the situation because neither one is going to change either person's mind you are entitled to your own opinion how do you diffuse
02:38:58Ali Corinit go up and actually be a kind human being and say hey I totally get that you guys have differences here but let's just walk away there is literally no point in continuing having confrontation like that other than to cause a scene so
02:39:11Andrew Wilsonwell I mean so you your expectations that these people are still going to get along well even though one demands that the other from their worldview lies to them I never said you had to get along other one demand from their their
02:39:22Ali Corinworldview that you what you need to tell me is what I consider the truth to be I never said that you had to get along hold on wait you want to you want to cut me off when you're talking then I if I have space to answer your question I
02:39:34Ali Corinnever said that they had to get along I said diffuse the situation and separate because I don't think that every opinion has to mesh with every opinion you walk away and you let it be so then the ultimate the kind of the ultimate
02:39:46Andrew Wilsonlogical entailment here is the idea that group should segregate from each other if you choose to not be a part of a group mhm that's your choice yeah I know but the ultimate entailment of your
02:39:58Ali Corinlogic here is that groups should actually segregate away from each other because you say there's no answer to these questions no I think that people who have conf if they come into contact no that's not true some people are [ __ ] and some people aren't some
02:40:10Andrew Wilsonpeople can turn a blind eye and say have a nice day who's the [ __ ] in this situation you could just who the [ __ ] in this situation tell me not use a gender who's the [ __ ] in this
02:40:22Andrew Wilsonsituation you know who the [ __ ] is in this situation no I don't I want you to tell me who's the [ __ ] in the situation the [ __ ] in the situation is the one who's provoking the person who's literally done nothing wrong well which one is
02:40:36Andrew Wilsonthat Jesus Christ yeah you don't know right this is the whole problem with intersectionality it's fool this is the whole problem with the foolishness this ideology the entailment of it what
02:40:47Andrew Wilsonideology is always is always that is going to lead to we can't actually if we're going to only use empathy as a metric or even empathy plus brute facts and you say well give me a
02:40:59Andrew Wilsonspecific example Andrew of where we're going to end up coming into conflict well now I've just given you an example of two different groups have two different ideologies great okay I will answer your question in that scenario the one who continues to provoke is the
02:41:12Ali Corin[ __ ] even if that is the person who has the differ gender and you do not agree with them if they're coming up to you and they're being a complete piece of [ __ ] and causing a scene then would tell you that that person is the [ __ ] yeah but you got a problem with that too
02:41:23Andrew Wilsonwhich is that what is considered a provocation cannot be what is true so if that is the case what both think they're telling the truth the one says I'm not pro I'm not referring to what I think
02:41:34Andrew Wilsonthe truth is hang on hang on I just let you answer let me answer so if the idea here is the one says to him listen uh I'm not provoking I'm just demanding
02:41:45Andrew Wilsonbasic human respect that they don't misgender me the other one says I'm not provoking I'm just demanding that you don't say that I must lie because you're provoking right in this particular case
02:41:56Ali Corinyou consider uh neither of those or both of them to be provocations in this scenario if they're having a calm conversation they're having a debate about who's right and
02:42:08Andrew Wilsonwho's wrong and they can finally isn't that what you just described one saying I'm right and the other one's saying I'm right let's say having a pissing fight whatever you want to call store yeah let's say just in a
02:42:19Andrew Wilsongrocery store and and let's say the Orthodox Christian in this case looks over and he says something like this uh hello sir you want me to grab that for
02:42:29Andrew Wilsonyou the the person they're talking to looks over and says actually I'm a woman okay so I'd appreciate if you address me as ma'am okay the Orthodox Christian says well I'm not going to do that
02:42:42Andrew Wilsonbecause I don't believe that you are this thing that you're claiming you are not for my worldview and the other one says but I am from my worldview your reconciliation for this situation is
02:42:54Ali Corinseparation if that is the case then the advocation would ultimately be segregation that's a stretch but my opinion is that how is it a stretch okay
02:43:05Ali Corindo I get to answer like with a full sentence go ahead before you okay great um what you're implying is that someone needs to win in
02:43:15Andrew Wilsonthis scenario right like someone needs to come out on top or we need to segregate them yes well I don't know how you reconcile it if one feels like they don't have
02:43:26Andrew Wilsonbasic human respect or dignity from the one group and the other group feels like they're not getting the basic respect and dignity due to their group because they're being they're being told they must lie how exactly do you expect to
02:43:39Ali Corinreconcile that I don't think all things need reconciliation especially in a grocery store when you're just minding your business it is not segregation when you have free speech and you can just say what you want to say what else would it be how how else would they get on
02:43:50Andrew Wilsonthen they move on with their lives and they forget about it yeah okay but if you're in various communities you have various communities where you have uh you know various people in them the idea
02:44:01Andrew Wilsonhere is that you're saying neither side is wrong neither side is wrong both sides are are right your they're both right mhm so they can't necessarily if
02:44:13Andrew Wilsonthey're both right right then both of them have leg to stand on in order to make their case that they deserve to be able to say what is true from their different perspective that's necessarily going to lead to conflict and you just
02:44:25Ali Corinsaid the whole point here I don't think it should always lead to conflict I think that there's just some things that we have differences about and instead of creating conflict you can just have
02:44:36Ali Corindifferences yeah but what if those in this scenario you are the issue you are persisting on creating conflict when I in my scenario in the same example you're giving me if I were the person if
02:44:48Ali CorinI did identify as something I was not born as I would politely just say thank you for your help but I actually have to go and now I've diffused the situation you asked me how I would diffuse it boom
02:45:00Ali Corindone yeah sure but have you had your basic human dignity in some way violated if it were me personally no because this human being is never going to see me again if I have anything to do with it perhaps not you but you would say that
02:45:13Andrew Wilsonmost people who are in that situation would at least feel that way yeah mhm yeah so I mean if they do then why would they want to subject themselves to that all the time from this group they
02:45:24Andrew Wilsonclearly wouldn't they would try to what probably oh I don't know separate themselves from it
02:45:32Ali Corinyeah I'm impressed with the way that you can work around words however I still don't believe that it's segregation I believe that there are differences in all humans and you want to talk about like the basis of America we can get
02:45:44Ali Corinreal deep in you're doing is changing the argument instead of answering to it I did answer neither one is wrong and everyone is entitled to their own opinion and there is no conflict unless
02:45:54Andrew Wilsonyou create it yeah well and I appreciate the compliment of me being such a fine Wordsmith um I feel like I'm dumbing this down quite a bit make sure that we can get the actual answer
02:46:06Andrew WilsonI the idea here is like but I don't believe that but when you say I don't believe that but at the same time you feel like almost everybody in that group would feel like they had their basic kind of human dignity violated in some
02:46:18Andrew Wilsonway so the order of the day in order to not create conflict would be to separate themselves from those people no I don't well then how would they how exactly would you deal with it then without
02:46:29Ali Corinhaving your B human dignity violated I don't I don't actually get that do you genuinely think that humans as a whole can go throughout life without becoming offended in some way or having their basic dignity violated because you're
02:46:41Ali Corinreferring to Christianity and their belief system so you're having your belief system violated so your dignity in other words as you've strung them together yeah and that necessarily creates conflict
02:46:54Ali Corindignity is because you've created conflict out of it that's what I'm saying I just don't think have to cre conflict out of it it's that you can't always walk away you can when your dignity is being violated right maybe you are incapable of walking away
02:47:07Ali Corinwhenever your dignity is violated but when mine is because it happens all the time it comes with the chair comes with the hair comes with people calling me it as they did at the beginning of the show
02:47:16Ali CorinI take Grace and I say have a very nice day no I don't me personally wait what are you going to do hang on what's your answer you're going to do what I would diffuse that part of the conversation
02:47:28Ali Corinnow if you're talking about actually separating I don't I spoke in my town walking away right oh okay are you ready yeah how would you diffuse it you would walk away yeah from that specific situation with that specific
02:47:40Ali Corinconversation and that specific person yes from that person as a whole from that person as a whole no so then why I would also be open
02:47:51Andrew WilsonRel if you yourself would want to want to separate yourself from that situation in order to avoid conflict it stands to reason that most people in your situation would want to do the same thing if this is a case that they want
02:48:03Andrew Wilsonto separate themselves which been my point the entire time right why in the future would they want to engage with the same person not going to back off on their Laurels of uh no I won't lie to
02:48:15Ali Corinyou to create change to create a opinionated change because I think that you know you're you're running on the basis that like it is wrong for you to lie it is wrong for someone to ask you
02:48:26Ali Corinto lie right right okay so if you and I were be sitting in a room and having a conversation oneon-one as human beings speaking about the human existence I think that I would want to
02:48:38Ali Corinopen up conversation of like why you feel that way and why you feel the need to present your opinion as the dominant and correct opinion instead of being a
02:48:47Ali Corinkind human person I think that creating space between people is only going to create conflict creating dist of itself you done okay
02:48:59Andrew Wilsongreat so can I finish cuz you did that to me well I is it going to take you forever to finish it took you forever to finish it didn't take me very long if you want to recap on the conversation you've had far more speaking time than
