In today's episode, the ever-controversial Konstantin Kisin as Tom discuss everything from racism to toxic masculinity, to war and economic collapse. Konstantin Kisin is a comedian, social commentator and podcast host of the show TRIGGERnometry, and tackles the harder conversations around woke culture, war, and highly sensitive politics most people avoid.
We’re challenging the status quo, breaking down complex ideas, and striving to understand how we can all play by a better set of rules for success.
Topics we discuss include:
- Western culture values that should be preserved
- the danger of a toxic culture that would rather complain about injustices that work on finding real solutions
- woke culture & victimhood incentivized in young people
- how America is on the brink of becoming the next collapsing Roman Empire
- the masculinity debate
- revolutionary tactics versus incremental improvement
- the dynamics of free speech in society
- influence of women on men's success
- the historical pattern of societal stability and disruption
- the role of resilience in overcoming adversity
Buckle up as we uncover why we might need a new set of rules - not just to survive, but to seize opportunities and safely navigate the dangers of our rapidly evolving world.

Powerful Insights From Konstantin Kisin:
“Do not be a useful idiot. Do not violate your own moral standards and your own moral rules for the sake of the greater good. There is no greater good than your own moral standards. There is no greater good than that.”
“As someone who has experienced racism, I don’t think it should be illegal to be racist or to say racist things. It should be illegal to discriminate against people because of their race, [...] but people should be allowed to have and express pretty much any opinion in my view.”
“In many ways I would argue that free speech is unnatural and that’s why it has to be fought for repeatedly.”
“We’re a moral paralysis in the west, ...at a level of society we’re incapable of understanding that reality.”
“The biggest problem with blank slate-ism is the attempt to pretend that human nature doesn’t exist.”

I can’t believe that a masculinity contest between Tyson Fury and Ben Shapiro is even a conversation.

[@GiltleyRage]

It's because we have the mindset that so called 'alpha' masculinity is about raw muscle power, testosterone etc where it's discussed that it may be actually more about taking huge responsibility and being a person people rely too. After all the world is not run by ripped jocks but very powerful nerds.

Konstantin just described Israel destroying 80% of the residences in north Gaza, of over 1 million human beings as a dirty war. No, its ethnic cleansing. and Israel is currently behaving as if they will remove the Gazans. Ethnic cleansing, Itv murder, Israel killed two of its own hostages WHILE they were waving white flags.

[@davidbowen6284]

In terms of resiliency I think it's about understanding the polarity of life. That day turns to night, things can be rough or smooth, black or white. Acceptance of the unfolding of life and not trying to strategise to mitigate what you think might potentially happen. Embrace the idea something will come but that you expect it to and that you will not be frustrated by it. Understand that experiences are just experiences. They're not good or bad based on how you frame them. I would say most experience leads to change. If fate has decided it's written in your story you will face it. Don't be mad at what you perceive as difficult. It's just part of the process. Don't be mad at people for playing out their human nature. It should be this way, it should be that way. I wish people were more like this. They're not so stop idealising life because that's creating a vacuum which is making you unhappy. As humans we want to understand everything to compart mentalise it and build strategies. However somethings aren't to be understood. It just is. We shouldn't try and reconcile everything. Just let things be and maintain a sense of mature acceptance.

[@DavidECoy]

Awesome interview. I feel like I can listen to kk all day. He is very smart but in a very down to earth way. I love listening to Dr. Peterson but due to my lack of education some times it’s very difficult to follow or fully understand what he is saying. I never feel that way about KK. It’s almost like he can make the same point as a Dr. Peterson but it terms everyone can understand no matter your education level.

[@ontexastime6690]

I’ve had years of “higher” education. At times, I find it difficult to follow and understand Dr. Peterson, too. Sometimes, Dr Peterson is on a level that’s all his own. I agree that Konstatin Kisin is an intelligent, articulate guy who can take difficult subject matter and make it understandable for regular people.

[@DavidECoy]

@@ontexastime6690 ya they are both awesome but for a lack of a better way to put it. I feel like KK can dumb it down for people like me. I also agree Dr. P sometimes feels like he is the most smartest person on earth. I will say this though, the thing I’m most impressed with about these two guys are their ability to stay calm and debate intellectually even when they are being attacked personally. Even when the other person is disingenuous and trying to put words in their mouths. My favorite moment of Dr.P was an interview with a feminist woman when she asked him about upsetting people and his response was that’s not my intention but what’s wrong with that? You certainly don’t have any problem upsetting me in this interview. For a moment she was speechless and then said I’m trying to work that out and he said aw ha I got you and she said yes you got me. He was intelligent calm and won over the entire audience. She got roasted in the comments and everyone praised him.

Perhaps alpha and masculine are two separate things. One of the interesting things is that women find tall men with broad shoulders more attractive than short men. And that seems to be dissociated from an alpha who's not necessarily the largest male. Something to consider.

[@user-ze3sg6ix1u]

He's making a false dichotomy. Physical size and strength are absolutely masculine traits. I really like him but what he says sounds like coping because he's small. If he's with his girlfriend and some other bigger and stronger guy harasses her and he can do nothing about it how exactly is he masculine then? Who are you going to call to help you? No being physically strong isn't everything, but it's still a significant portion. If two guys have equal money and power but one is 6'2" 220lbs of muscle and can fight but the other is 5'5" 125lbs and weak is he really gonna say they're equal in their masculinity? Nonsense. Being able to protect is a masculine trait. That being said yes I think you could make the argument you can be alpha and not masculine, you can just have a lot of money from birth. Although I'd say there's a lot of overlap USUALLY.

[@Monkey-fv2km]

There are physical masculine traits and behavioural masculine traits, and even that is likely oversimplifying. I don't think there are hard and fast rules, just statistical tenancies.

I've never understood what people are scared off saying what they think - in the Western world. It baffles me. Maybe it's obvious to people who grew up in socialism, or in my case having my entire family coming from socialist countries... but I don't understand why so many people do not speak up. It is not that hard. Has it put me in uncomfortable positions? Sure, especially at work I get reguarly scolded or attacked for expressing my VERY negative views on topics like DEI etc. So what? I don't have to fear for my life like I would in other countries... if I get fired I'll just get a new job. Like what is the risk? None of us are getting out of this alive. We are all just mere mortals. But If everyone just spoke up instead of cowering and fearing the "oh but what will xyz think", we wouldn't be having all these ridiculous conversations. Because as it turns out, most of the time when you get to know someone and they actually start to trust you and open up, it turns out they are pretty decent and normal people... most of us are. But somehow many of us believe they are in the absolute minority. We are not. The absolute majority of people in every country and every political or economic system are decent and good people. And this is the real tragedy. It turns out, to destroy and overthrow things you don't need the majority. This is what defectors from socialist countries have always said. This is what we know from historians, psychologists, secret agents etc... you don't need many people to do these things. All you need is a minority that is loud and committed to "the cause". Whatever that cause may be. And the second requirement is for the majority to remain silent. And this is what we are seeing today. The vast majority of people in the West do know what a man and a woman is. We do know that hormone blockers for children are cruel. We do know that DEI is nothing but racism and sexism. We do know that affirmative action is the same. We do know that mass illegal immigration from certain regions in the world does not benefit us in any way. We know all these things... but they are still happening because most people are too scared or whatever to even do their tiny little part and SPEAK UP. It is not hard people. Just get up and DO IT.

Come my shared "i" AM rebellion let me wash thy feet to be given New feet. Just know the mileage from thy feet is recognize! Now don't bring is thy complaint unto men? Why? Offsprings preserve will say Should HIS SPIRIT BE TROUBLED? Remember the world have plenty enough of troubled! Let not thy spirit, Hearts, and Minds be troubled! Remember thy conversations given! Why? Keep watch!

I think one reason people have to fight for free speech is every one of us is literally born into a dictatorship. U will do what ur parents say or there is punishment. U will not say or speak in a manner that ur parents think is wrong. So as children we fight for our individual rights and freedoms and also fight for our parents respect to a certain degree. So once you are free from that state u feel like now u are finally free and u will never give up that freedom to anyone. Also everyone has the freedom to speak but just because u speak doesn’t mean that you are heard. I think that’s part of why our country is so great. We all are free to fight in this country for what we want. That’s the American dream that all these people from other countries want to be a part of.

21:53 - "What do you mean it's the Rocky speech?" 10 seconds later the host talks about how great Rocky is. This is the worst interviewer I've seen.

@15:27 I read somewhere that the term "Moron" along with "Idiot & Imbecile" were terms developed by medieval guilds, possibly the Free Masons, in order to classify the skill qualities of apprentices. Moron: one who consistently makes a number of mistakes doing different tasks. Idiot: one who makes the same mistake each time doing the same task. Imbecile: one who finds a completely different way of screwing something up doing the same task.

AGREED. Far too much talking by Tom on ALL his interviews. Just too much. You have a guest for a reason. Allow them to talk. I have to listen to Konstantin as I really have enormous respect for his opinions and views.

[@NATO-SOCOM]

Good point about the repercussions of all the advancements mankind has made just based on the gap in intelligence from someone who’s a “moron” to someone as intelligent as Einstein… and then A.I. being billion times smarter than the most intelligent person on the planet. If you think about what could potentially be accomplished in the next 100 years is simply mind blowing 🤯

'We've never been able to suppress any technology.' Plenty of countries restrict nuclear energy, and nuclear weapons development for that matter. It's not a stretch to apply this to AI if it poses an existential threat.

[@ianlariviere]

Those with nuclear dominance impose the ban on the rest of the world. Big difference. We've never stopped everyone from obtaining a "get it and I win" technology.

[@tturtle1659]

100%. That anyone would think a sentient being eminently more intelligent than us would willingly serve us is mind boggling. AI is a grave threat and should have been forbidden from the first moment. Alas, the cat is out of the bag.

2 beta males talking about how alphas are betas so they are the alphas.

[@DavidECoy]

Absolutely agree. Everyone wants to be the leader because they think it means u have all the power but in reality to lead is to serve the people under you. Jesus didn’t want to die for us but to be our leader he had to service our needs. We needed to be saved and only he could save us. Our leaders also need humanity. That’s why even Jesus bowed at the feet of his followers to wash their feet. He had to show them just how important humanity is. Many refused to let him wash their feet and his reply was if u refuse you can’t be with me.

so much of this can be seen through alchemy and the concept of exalted and debilitated planets. mars (warfare) is exalted in capricorn, the sign of work ethic, groups, authority, and organization. it's debilitated in cancer, the sign of the female body, caring, nurturing, equality, and motherhood. saturn (authority) is exalted in the sign of libra. diplomacy, sales, coalitions, marriages, balance, beauty. it's debilitated in the sign of aries, (warfare, blood, muscles, and having a big head)

I worry about AI for fundamental reason. History shows that every time we invent a new tech that takes over some of our mental load, we don't get smarter; we get stupider. Why should this not continue?

I don’t think that’s true. As a society we keep achieving more, look at cancer treatment progression.

S Korean Air story he told; that's face culture. I live in Asia; it's a disastrous system. No one can suggest improvements to the upper mucky mucks. No such thing as constructive criticism here. This is the top reason no one should want Asians running anything on a global scale. They could never do it anyway. Plus, corruption isn't just part of the system here; it IS the system. That's another reason not to ask questions.

Wanna know how a true alpha male is like? He is a provider and a protector. He is wise, humble, and just. He leads by example. He is disciplined. He does what needs to be done. I only know (knew) one man like this, and that was my father. He passed away at 62. But for all my life he's been my hero and inspiration.
