Fight Club Film Analysis (Part 2): Project Mayhem, Gnostic Nihilism & 9/11 Symbolism

Episode Transcript

Today we're wrapping up our deep dive into the film fight.

We're going to finish this film.

We're going to break down all of the symbolism that we've been witnessing in this exciting conclusion in this ritualistic initiation into the practices of MK Ultra altars, Nostoc 9-Lism, human sacrificial soap, red pill, manosphere, consumerism, the manipulation of mankind and 9/11 predictive programming.

Joining along as we hit the bottom of the abyss through the ultimate death and rebirth ritual of Project Mayhem.

Now part one we talked about the cast and the crew.

We got into the first part of this film analysis by breaking now what was happening in flight club.

And today we're going to jump right back into the action for the second half of the film where narrator and Tyler were discussing how to make soap and we resumed the action with a red hot burner of a scene where narrator is becoming enlightened through pain.

Take a listen.

"The first morning you've ever been burned and you will never stop." "What are we doing?" "Got a meditation work for cancer, good work for this." "Stay with the pain, don't shut this up." "No, stop!

Don't touch your hand." "The first open made from the ashes of heroes like the first monkey shot in his face, without pain, without sacrifice, but have nothing." "I tried not to think that we're searing the flesh." "Stop it!" "This is your pain.

This is your burning hand.

It's right here." "Who's going to my cave?

Will you my cave and find my power?" "No!" "Don't deal with the joy those dead people do." "Come on!" "You get the point of good things." "No, but you're feeling as premature and light." "This is the greatest moment of your life, man, and you're off somewhere, miss me." "I am not." "John, I'll find this where my model's forgotten." "If our father's bail, what does that tell you about God?" "No, no, we can leave." "Listen to me." "To consider the possibility that God does not like you, never wanted you, and that in all probability he hates you." "It's not the worst in life." "You know what we need, yeah?" "We don't like weed." "Pup damn nation, man, fuck redemption.

We are God's unwanted children.

So bad!" "I'm going to show fucking you what I'm doing." "Listen!" "You can run water over your hand to make it worse, or look at me." "Or you can use vinegar to neutralize the burn." "Wait, let me have it, please." "First, you have to give up." "First, you have to know, not fear." "No, it's Sunday you're going to die." "You don't know how this feels." "It's only after we've lost everything, that we're free to do anything." "Congratulations, we won't step closer to you, Ma." So in the scene, Tyler throws chemicals onto the narrator's hand.

And he tries to get narrated or become enlightened by focusing in on the pain, instead of distracting and externalizing and going outside of his mind.

He also talks about how God doesn't really love us, because our father's bailed on us and God probably hates us.

And we definitely don't need him.

And he forces the narrator to give up before his will neutralizes the burn.

And giving up means to know that someday you're going to die.

This is the "Memento Mori." This is what we were talking about in part one with all this death and rebirth stuff.

And we tied it into the film "Memento," which is similar in certain ideas.

But it's all about the death and rebirth.

And this is one of the many initiation scenes that we witness where Tyler, the shadow of narrator, is initiating our main character into this new line of thinking.

And he says, "You're one step closer to hitting the bottom." Now in the book, the soap is explained as a metaphor for human sacrifice.

That's right.

So it's more than just making soap, because when you watch the film, you don't really get that in its totality.

You have to actually read through the book where he explains there's a more in-depth process of the philosophy through his initiation.

I'm going to read you from the book.

He says, "Don't shut this out." Tyler says, "Sope and human sacrifice go hand in hand." And then later on in the chapter after he's already burned narrator's hand, he says something else interesting.

He says, "Open your eyes." Tyler says in his faces, you know, he's like covered in tears, right?

Congratulations, Tyler says, "You're a step closer to hitting bottom." You have to see Tyler says how the first soap was made of heroes.

Think about the animals used in product testing.

Think about the monkeys shot into space without their death, their pain, without their sacrifice, we would have nothing.

And the whole book turns out to be about a spiritual component to human sacrifice, embracing it almost, which is concerning on many levels, right?

We talk about the wild theories about human sacrifice going back to Mulach, right?

But we also see some of this idea of embracing this nihilistic view of human sacrifice through the order of nine angles with the human calling and all kinds of weird stuff, right?

Like it's a recurring theme.

And it ties into the worship of Saturn, all right?

Which is, I keep teasing it because I'm still working on it.

I'm working on a deep dive into what Saturn means.

Why do they worship the cube?

Who is Saturn?

Why do they want to sacrifice people to Saturn?

Well, Saturn is the sort of outermost adversary and it represents the guardian of the final initiation of mankind.

It's like the final boss of the occult, right?

But we're going to unpack all that.

We're going to talk about the real life, the Saturnian cults that do sacrifice.

So be sure to stay subscribed to my show.

However you're consuming this show, make sure you're hitting the subscribe button, all right?

Tell a friend.

Tell a friend.

So the whole book basically is about human sacrifice.

Project Mayhem is rolling out and we hear that each one of the initiates is tasked to murder, kill 12 human sacrifices.

Now it's not super crystal clear if they actually do murder.

It's not like it walks you through the scenes of them killing, but it clearly says that each initiate has to make 12 human sacrifices.

And it's not very clear if they go through it, but there's a scene where they talk about how they have to give Tyler 12 driver's licenses to prove that they did it.

And then the film, you can see this at the end.

It literally has a wall in the the the fight club house.

And it says human sacrifices across the top and it's a wall full of drivers licenses.

So I propose that really happened because in the film, you see a very watered down version where he takes a guy's drivers license and you know threatens him with it, which I think we talk about later on.

So we'll save it for that.

And then the other idea here is well, we'll talk about human, we'll talk about the scene with the veterinarian because it actually shows up later in the car scene.

But at this point, Bob, remember meatloaf.

He's a he stops the narrator walking the streets to say how much you know he loves fight club and you know, so on.

You sort of see foreshadowing of the reveal about who Tyler isn't who narrator is at this point.

So now we're back into Tyler's philosophies and he's giving a big speech about how they're actually in a spiritual war.

Right?

Namely against capitalism, but you saw all the seeds he was planting about how God really hates us earlier on.

And the idea of embracing human sacrifice.

He says in here, you know, this capitalism has this buying shit that we don't need.

Right?

So it's very, very anti materialism, very anti capitalism.

And at this point, Lou from Lou's tabern, I'm talking Lou shows up and he's there to break up the fight club.

And Tyler being the messianic figure that he is, he allows Lou to assault him repeatedly in front of everybody.

And then he actually gets the upper hand.

He jumps on top of Lou and he's he's bleeding all over the place and he bleeds all up into Lou's face and mouth.

And this somehow changes Lou's mind and he's like, yeah, just get off me.

You can do whatever you want.

So they can continue to use the basement of Lou's tabern.

So Tyler is going forward with project mayhem and he gives everyone an assignment.

They are supposed to pick a fight with a stranger and specifically they're supposed to lose the fight.

And the narrator shares that this is not as easy as it sounds because most people avoid getting into fights.

And they go through a variety of scenes about this.

Then narrator goes into his supervisor's office and he basically blackmail his workplace with the information about the formula of how they choose to do car recalls or not.

And this kind of ties into the human sacrifice element because capitalism is okay with human sacrifice on some levels.

It's okay with people dying for the sake of saving money.

And that's kind of the big critique of capitalism is it's not a very humanistic economic system.

And at this point, narrator starts beating himself up in front of a supervisor and he's demanding he's like, you're going to cut me some checks full.

I'm out of this dreaded day job.

And I think, man, is that work?

Maybe maybe someone needs to try that and see if it works.

So he starts beating himself up until the supervisor finally agrees to put him on the payroll as an outside consultant.

So now they can do fight club every night.

There's no dreaded day job.

Perfect.

Right.

Tyler starts handing out assignments to everyone and it's basically a lot of sort of pranks.

It's kind of like, you know, very very much jackass.

I think this is pre-jackass too, by the way, if I'm not mistaken.

Some more sort of predictive programming of the future.

And they do a bunch of pranks like putting tire spikes in the wrong way.

You know those tire spikes that fall down when you drive over them to go wherever.

Which fun story.

Me and Jimmy, Jimmy, the jackhammer had a great theory one day.

He said, dude, I don't think those spikes do anything.

And I said, what do you mean?

Of course they do something.

They blow up your tires if you go the wrong way.

And then we sat and we unpacked it and I was like, bro, you're totally right.

It doesn't make any sense.

In fact, if you look it up, look up the, there's like a, we were Googling around and see if anyone drove over these tire spikes the wrong way to see if they really blow up your tires.

And I saw a YouTube video from like the 80s.

And there's like this big scary dramatic scene.

If someone's going the wrong way over those spikes and like the car blows up, you know.

But none of it makes any sense because usually you see these at car rental locations by the airport, right?

To keep people from, I don't know what they think they're going to steal the thing and drive out.

I don't get it.

I don't really understand what the purpose is, right?

But neither way, even if you were like, well, the spikes are there to prevent you from driving the wrong way.

Okay, so you're telling me these car rental companies are going to let you, like first of all, you have to understand like the, the masses, the public are pretty dumb.

We're not going to follow directions.

We're not going to pay attention, especially when you're in a new city and a new airport, you're thinking about how you got to get to the meeting on time.

You got to get your hotel room, like you're thinking about things, right?

This is a foreign environment.

So you're telling me that a car rental company would deal with multiple people a day driving over these spikes and having them blow out their tires.

That would be so expensive and so annoying and so chaotic to just constantly are boom, you know, like, like that's crazy.

So our theory is that even if you drive on them the wrong way, I think those spikes would drop down either way.

I think it's all a facade.

I think it's a fugacy.

So shout out Jimmy the jackhammer for thinking that one through.

I was like, dude, you're totally right.

Now we tried to test this one time.

We're like, well, let's just drive over the wrong way.

One of us will film it.

And we'll see.

We'll expose the truth to the world.

But the reality is that programming that brainwashing is so deep, even though I firmly believe that those things go down and you won't blow up tires.

We couldn't do it.

We couldn't do it.

I couldn't test the theory.

I didn't have enough hair on my nuts to do it.

So if anyone out there wants to prove or disprove this theory, I'm receptive to seeing the evidence.

But I'm definitely not advocating you try it because it is possible.

Maybe they do blow up.

I mean, that would be terrible.

Right.

But have you ever ever seen anyone drive over a wrong way and blow their tires up?

Have you ever heard anyone talk about it?

You would think on accident multiple people a day do this.

You think it would be this crazy thing.

So anyway, I do believe that they don't work, but I'm not telling you that they don't.

I don't want you to blame me when the tires blow up.

But anyway, I am curious if anyone's seen or proven that those things don't work.

Anyway, if I club there putting tire spikes the wrong way, they're feeding birds so that they poop all over people's cars.

They go into a liquor store for human sacrifice.

This scene with the human sacrifice.

There's a variety of things, right.

But at the scene where they go into the liquor store, it's just narrator and Tyler for this mission.

And they pull out the clerk and they put a gun to his head.

And his name is Raymond.

He asked Raymond.

He's like, what would you rather do?

They'd be sitting here wasting your life working at a convenience store.

And you know, the clerk is Raymond's freaking out.

He's crying because he's like, oh, my God, I'm about to die.

And he says, well, I wanted to be a vet veterinarian, right.

So Tyler says, well, okay, I got your driver's license.

And if in six weeks we come back and you're not on your way to becoming a vet, then we're going to murder you.

So you can see there's a bit of a concept here of terrorizing people into having a better life and pursuing their goals.

And I think it's about counteracting all the subliminal and subconscious programming of marketing and capitalism.

So in the film, we see Tyler, they're cutting out articles from the news, you know, talking about all these project mayhem assignments, one of which in particular is titled performance art molested or performance artist molested, I should say, which is very strange, right.

Not sure what it means.

If you zoom in and read the text, it doesn't, it's just a bunch of nonsense.

I can't say anything really.

So Tyler also starts having applicants show up at the house for those that want more training.

And what they're supposed to do, he tells narrators, what would we have to do is we keep projecting and insulting these applicants.

And if they stick around, if they continue to wait into the house after verbal abuse and stuff, then they're perfect for the job, right.

They really want to get in.

And once they get in, they shave their heads.

Tyler keeps insulting them, calling them all singing all dancing crap of the world again, refer to part one where we talked about that whole exchange, calling him and Marla calling each other human butt wipe.

And they're going into nihilistic ideas and even says Tyler even says stuff about how they're all going into the same trash heap.

This is a very dark bleak view of humanity, right.

And this is very similar to how the Ellicinian mystery cults of Greece would operate.

You know, the initiates would have to fast, they would have to isolate, they would have to go through these what they call Dionysian practices of purification to abstain.

Right.

And the Pythagoras, we talked about part one of the numerology of the phone numbers and apartment number for Marla Pythagoras, he of course had a cult as well as secrets of society, I should say.

And any initiate that wanted to join was required to take a five year valve silence before they could be initiated.

So to take some verbal abuse on the porch for a week or so, like, you know, in the scheme of things not so bad, right.

So anyway, everyone's in the house, they're watching the news and there's a news story about the Parker Morris building.

And you see that basically they put a giant smiley face and fire, you know, they blew out windows and started a fire makes a big smiley face.

And this is of course, you know, project mayhem stuff now completely unrelated, maybe possibly is William Ramsey who I've had on the show a few times.

And a few years ago we had him on and he was talking about his research into the smiley face killers.

And it's this idea that there's serial killers that murder and there's always like a smiley face logo near the victim, right.

Now David Fincher, the director interestingly enough, has a very clear interest in serial killers.

He did films like seven.

He did shows like mine hunter.

He did a movie called the killer.

I haven't seen that yet.

But he's interested in serial killer.

So I question if that's maybe not another nod to William Ramsey's theory about the smiley face killers.

So meanwhile the police they are trying to crack down on crime and this is during the same news segment, right.

They show the building all blown up and they interviewed the city police commissioner.

He's like we're going to crack down on this crime and he's going to do it through what he calls project hope.

Now you have to understand the city commission doesn't understand or know about project mayhem.

So the irony that they would be called project hope as an opposing polarity is done on purpose, I believe, because Tyler and project mayhem are basically causing all these problems in the city.

And the commissioner is trying to counter that chaotic force with a force of order project hope.

And we're going to go more into the idea of opposing polarities at the end of the episode in the conclusion, right.

So project mayhem and Tyler they don't like the commissioner talking like this.

So they basically kidnapped him, take him in a bathroom and they threaten to cut his balls off.

Now what's curious if you look at this scene, which if you're looking for watching the video version of this, I'll show you the image.

And if you're on the patreon or VIP section consider going to tier two where you get the video version of every single show I do add for your early access the works.

If you're on like YouTube or Spotify, I'm like, well, where's the video, I want to see the video like sometimes I'll put most of them on there depends.

I've got a lot of censorship issues that prohibits me from just publishing everything I do.

So some of my shows are on YouTube and Spotify and all that some are not.

Okay.

Now what's interesting is that when this bathroom scene occurs, you'll notice that they give him the the the scare tactic of cutting off his nuts on a black and white checkered, testulating floor, which again represents the opposing forces.

You can see these in freemasonic lodges on the floor, they call it the Moses pavement, which references the the the muses channeling through divinity.

But specifically in the movie, this is meant to reinforce the tension between chaos and order, right.

Project maim is chaos project hope is the order and the guy who's introducing project hope, the opposing polarity, they're like, you're not going to do that.

We're not going to be going with the Bob's here.

We're not we're not balancing forces.

Because these are opposing sort of threats now.

And we're called the beginning of the film, the very beginning, meet low, meet low Bob said losing all hope is freedom.

So this is kind of like a discordian idea.

They love the idea of chaos.

They want to embrace it and sort of like let all the chips fall where they may literally align from the movie.

So the narrator starts feeling a little bit out of the loop and he's like, man, they're doing all these project mayhem assignments.

And because they can't talk about project mayhem, he doesn't even know what they're doing.

And he's kind of like, what the hell happened here?

He's losing his sense of ego as narrator and Tyler is taking over the shadow.

So during one of the fight club nights, narrator takes it all out on Jared leto and he just literally bashes his face in.

And Tyler says where'd you go psycho boy?

And then he takes him for a car ride to really sort of lay in some more Tyler philosophy.

And he does the same thing to narrator that they were doing to the convenience store clerk Raymond gives him the driving it's rainy, the driving in the car and Tyler is talking to narrator.

And he was like, if you died, what do you wish you would have done?

And Tyler even let's go the steering wheel and he puts on his seatbelt.

And he's like, he's like, I'm not touching the steering wheel like this is pure chaos.

And he allows the car at full speed to ram into a parked car.

And of course car accident, whatever, right?

Now in the book the day after narrator beats up Jared leto's character Tyler calls him psycho boy and right here is where he invents project mayhem.

Which turned out to be a project to initiate the entire world into Tyler's philosophy and forced the entire world to go to the death and rebirth ritual and to hit the bottom.

I'm going to read you from the book says Tyler told me later that he'd never seen me destroy something so completely that night Tyler knew he had to take fight club up a notch or shut it down.

Tyler said sitting at breakfast the next morning you look like a maniac psycho boy, where did you go?

I said I felt like crap in our last at all.

I didn't get any kind of buzz.

Maybe I developed a Jones you can build up a tolerance to fighting and maybe I needed to put move on to something bigger.

It was that morning Tyler invented project mayhem.

Because as you already know Tyler is the shadow of narrator.

Right.

He says maybe I need to bump it up a little bit and then Tyler is like, yeah, we can bump it up project mayhem.

Tyler asked what I was really fighting what Tyler says about being the crap and the slaves of history.

That's how I felt.

I wanted to destroy everything beautiful.

I would never have burn the Amazon rainforest pump chlorofluorocarbons straight up to the to gobble the ozone.

Open the see now listen to my my my young folks listening see back in the day in the the 90s.

There were these things called CFC's chlorofluorocarbons in like hairsprays and stuff and they would eat up the ozone layer and that was a big thing.

We worried about the ozone layer back then putting holes in it and I think the irony is that the science is in the opposite perspective now and it's like maybe they want holes in it so they can release the carbon dioxide gases into the space.

Don't ask me I'm not a scientist.

But it was a big deal you used to put it on hair spray can said no CFC's and all this stuff.

I guess that problem has been addressed.

I don't know.

I haven't heard about this in about 25 years.

Let me get back to the book he says open the dump valves on super tankers and uncapped offshore oil wells.

I wanted to kill all the fish I couldn't afford to eat and smother the French beaches beaches I would never see.

I wanted the whole world to hit bottom.

Now this is very much in cell culture.

We can probably blame fight club for all the in cell culture that we see today.

This is a very destructive idea that just because you can't experience something everyone else needs to pay the price for it.

I don't need to go on you kind of get what I'm saying.

He doesn't get a buzz from fighting that you know anymore that's why he kept beating in Jared let us face.

The next day Tyler and Vince project may have which ironically also has a bunch of support groups again this is mirroring a sort of as above so below mapping of the beginning of the film where narrator is a support group.

The leader of the support group says I look around and I see a lot of new faces which is exactly what Tyler says at fight club.

I think it's the same night that he invents it after he beats before narrator beats up Jared let oh by the way.

But project project may have has a bunch of little mini support groups within.

And this is kind of and they in the book they describe them better.

But this is kind of also like sub projects within the umbrella of MK ultra right.

And the idea is that project mayhem is indicating that Tyler that narrator and the shadow Tyler are graduating to needing more and more violence and now they want to initiate the whole world into their dark philosophy.

And this is very much dark and light man right this is about destroying everything burning it all down and starting all over.

Now we also read about one of the sub projects is called the assault committee and this is where we get into the it's murder of the project mayhem the human sacrifices when I read you from the book.

This was the goal of project mayhem Tyler said the complete and right away destruction of civilization what comes next in project mayhem nobody knows except for Tyler.

The second rule is you don't ask questions don't get any bullets Tyler told the assault committee.

And just so you don't worry about it yes you're going to have to kill someone alright.

Arson assault mischief and misinformation no questions no questions no excuses and no lies the fifth rule about project mayhem is you have to trust Tyler.

Now this is graduating to a very much Charles Manson-esque cult right you have a cult leader that you cannot question and there's an agenda here right.

So narrator wakes up Tyler's gone and the house is full of the applicants and the initiates working the space monkeys they call them in the book.

And the narrator has no idea what these people are or what they're doing for their project mayhem assignments and an emergency happens Bob shows up.

Well he got he gets carried into the house he was on assignment to destroy corporate art and take down a corporate coffee shop and he got shot in the head so the applicants bring him in and throw him on the table and he's dead right.

Now they play a little video recap of this of this event of the scene and if you look at the coffee shop the floor is again this sort of testulating squares pattern this black and white checkered floor of the free free masonry.

Furthermore they show two chessboards right which is again this you know 64 square free masonic idea it's the opposing forces.

So Bob's dead they want to bury him in the narrator says he's upset because he was friends with him on some level and he and project mayhem like they don't have names and he's like no this guy had a name his name was Robert Paulson and everyone in there of course cult like fashion starts chanting his name name is Robert Paulson.

Because the project mayhem they decide in death you get a name it's very much like reminds me of this is very much like Saturnian death cult ideas right this is kind of like what you see in the mad max movies where they the what they call the rowdy boys.

The guys at Huff silver paint.

They want to die because they get to go to Valhalla if they die warrior so that's kind of what this is like the ultimate level of brainwashing.

narrator goes all over the country trying to find Tyler now he's like dude what the hell's going on so he goes to all these different cities turns out there's a fight club in every single city ironically the fight club has been franchise like a corporation and spread all over the world here.

And the people in each city that talked to narrator there they're kind of applying that narrator is Tyler Durdon and narrators like why do they think I'm Tyler Durdon so he goes to his hotel he calls Marla he's like we ever had sex and she's like you're a psychopath and he's like well seriously don't have we and she's like yeah.

And boom all the all the pieces fall into place and this is the big reveal narrator is Tyler Durdon okay and when they play this scene which I'm going to play the clip for you here it's it.

They go through all the flashbacks and stuff and basically we confirm at this point that Tyler and narrator are in fact the same person take a listen.

I'm coming over.

No way.

I'm not there.

You broke your promise.

Jesus.

You're fucking talk to her about me.

I like what the fuck is going on here.

I ask you for one thing one simple thing.

How do people think that I'm you?

Answer me.

Shit.

Answer me why do people think that I'm you?

I think you know.

No I don't.

Yes you do.

Why would anyone possibly confuse you with me?

I have I don't know.

You got it.

No.

Do not talk to the guys.

Say it.

Because.

Say it.

Because we're the same person.

That's right.

We are the same.

I don't understand this.

You were looking for a way to change your life.

You could not do this on your own.

All the ways you wish you could be.

That's me.

I look like you want to look.

I fuck like you want to fuck.

I am smart, capable and most importantly.

I'm free in all the ways that you are not.

I know.

Tyler's not here.

I will win away.

You're going to go.

What?

This is crazy.

People do it every day.

They talk to themselves.

They see themselves as they like to be.

They don't have the courage you have to just run with it.

Naturally you're still wrestling with it so sometimes you're still you.

We should do this again sometimes.

Other times you imagine yourself watching me.

This is your first night in Fight Club.

You have to fight.

You're a little.

You're just letting yourself become.

Tyler Darden.

You have a nightmare in your house!

I have a nightmare in my house!

You have a house.

Rented in your name.

You have jobs.

You have a whole life.

You have my jobs because you can't sleep.

Why are you still here?

I'm all here.

You're fucking a Marlott Tyler.

Technically, you're fucking Marlott.

But it's all the same to her.

Oh my God.

Now you see our dilemma.

She knows too much.

I think we're gonna have to talk about how this might compromise our goals.

Wait, what are you saying?

This is bullshit.

This is bullshit.

I'm not listening to this.

You are insane.

No, you're insane.

And we simply do not have time for this crap.

It's called a changeover.

The movie goes on and nobody in the audience has any idea.

So Tyler walks in through the whole story that we've seen so far and shows how he is just the projection of the narrator.

Tyler is the shadow.

Tyler is what narrator wants to be.

Tyler is the bad boy.

Hey guys, as it pissed you off to watch crypto's fly up in price for over a decade and you've still done nothing about it?

It makes sense.

Crypto's complicated and it's really boring.

Link in the show notes as always.

Narrators, the soy boy, Tyler's the bad boy.

And you know, the home movie you really think Tyler is the cooler character, right?

Tyler says, you know, I'm free in all the ways that you wish you wish you were.

Right?

He even says people do this every day.

They see themselves as they'd like to be.

Narrators just had the courage to run with it.

And the narrator is still struggling with it.

So sometimes he sees himself.

Sometimes he thinks he's Tyler.

But either way, he's becoming the shadow.

He's becoming Tyler.

And this is very much what I did a couple shows in early 2020 about the Kobe Bryant children's books.

And the concepts he was laying out in there was crazy.

He basically was saying, like, look, black my interpretation.

He was saying, black mom, but was a character I created through these kids books.

I'm going to show you how this worked for me.

It's my inner shadow.

And I do a cult practices to allow the inner shadow to take over.

And it's almost dangerous.

It's so good.

Tyler wants to take Marla out because now she knows too much.

Okay.

And of course being the dark shadow is like, maybe we should murder her too.

She knows too much.

But now, writer, he's got feelings, right?

Call feelings for Marla.

So he gets back home.

And he's talking to Marla about how he's been acting strange.

He's like, look, your life is in danger.

You got to leave town.

I'm, ironically, during the argument, they go out in the streets and you can see there's a theater.

The Olympic theater and it's playing seven years into bet, which is another movie starring Brad Pitt from, you know, 97.

So she leaves.

So my point is of saying that is that Fincher planted different sort of messages in this movie, right?

Just like that.

She leaves town and narrator tries to turn himself in for all this project mayhem stuff.

But bad news.

The police are also part of Fight Club.

And they end up trying to cut off his balls because he forewarned them.

They look, if I ever come in here to try to break, to try to shut down project mayhem, I'm ordering you to cut my balls off.

And this is a recurring theme.

This is a motif in the movie.

It's playing into the darkest fears of men, right?

At the beginning, narrator and Marla, remember they were arguing about who guys to go to testicular cancer meetings.

And she says, look, I have more of a right to go because you still have your balls, you know.

So there was one testicle reference then at the beginning of the film, when narrator meets Tyler, and he's a Tyler at the bar, we call how Tyler says, look, things could have always been worse.

You could have had your penis cut off by a woman and tossed out the window of a moving car, you know, the John Bobbitt thing.

Then when they threaten the commissioner, what are they threatening with?

They're threatening with cutting his balls off.

So the idea here is that society is constantly trying to neuter men because, you know, we're inherently chaotic and dangerous.

And Fight Club project maim are all about allowing this sort of violent chaos to reign supreme.

So the narrator, he obviously doesn't want his balls to get cut off, so he basically gets a gun and he escapes.

And now he's on the run.

I'm on the run, the cops got my gun, and we hear that project mayhem's whole plan is to erase the debt through chaos.

It's again, a struggle of chaos in order to the opposing polarities and the order of society and the financials and debt they want to destroy it through chaos.

Chaos, as you'll find out in my Saturn deep dive, is part of the plan.

It's all part of the Saturn worship.

So this movie is definitely got Saturn worship elements when you dig into the history of what chaos means to these occultists.

And it's a recurring theme, this whole death before rebirth thing, this idea of hitting bottom, knocking the bottom out of it, crossing the abyss, whatever you want to call it, right?

You see this idea of erasing the debt in some stories like B for vendetta, the whole idea is to destroy the order, because the order is bad because it's this corrupt government.

And the only way to break it is to introduce terrorism and violence and chaos.

It's about using chaos to instill a new order, a new world order, right?

Order out of chaos.

So Tyler and narrator, they both end up inside of a building on Franklin Street, which has a van loaded with explosives in the parking garage.

And narrator wants to diffuse the bomb, because he's like, I'm trying to shut all this down.

This is too much.

Tyler shows up and says, hey, there's, you know, 10 more bombs and 10 more buildings and they're all gonna explode.

So you're wasting your time.

Then they get into a fight at the post, Tyler starts beating up narrator.

This is the shadow taking control, fighting to control narrator.

And now we're finally back to the beginning of the film.

Narrator is tied up at the top of this building and Tyler is in control.

Tyler says, this is it ground zero.

All right, keep that in the back pocket.

In a few minutes, we're gonna come back to that.

They're about to witness the economic equilibrium, the collapse of the financial system.

This is chaos, defeating order.

Project Mayhem is bringing their kidnapping, Marlott, to bring up to see all this, but you know, narrator obviously is like, damn, man, try to keep her safe.

And you failed.

Tyler says, I didn't create some loser alter ego to make myself feel better, implying that narrator is the one that couldn't deal with who he was as a man.

He created this alter ego, which is, you know, whatever.

Narrator, he says, look, I don't want to do this anymore.

Tyler says, you know, you want to go back to your status as a loser in the condo watching sitcoms.

And a narrator puts the gun to his own head and threatens to pull the trigger, which will kill Tyler.

And he does.

He says, my eyes are open, pulls the trigger, and you see Tyler collapse with a bullet hole in his head.

All right.

Now, interestingly enough, this movie came out just a few months after eyes wide shut.

He says, my eyes are wide open.

So you've got a little bit of play on that.

In the big scheme of the symbolism of the movie, there's not a ton.

I mean, I guess you could compare the secrets of the leads from eyes wide shut to this perhaps.

I didn't see a ton of other things.

I feel like it would be a stretch to say that, oh, this is the same idea.

You could argue this is like the all-seeing eye stuff, which is, you know, represents the enlightenment of a character.

Something like that.

You know, so to say my eyes are open, could be like my third eye is open, something like that.

Narrator is also unfortunately shot as well, but he's shot in his throat and lives somehow.

Marla gets delivered up to narrator and he sends them project mayhem guys out.

And now Marla and narrator, they're holding hands and they're watching out the skyscraper as all the other skyscrapers in the city collapse.

And then they play a little dig splice into the film and queue up the pixies, where's my mind and credits roll on one of the greatest films of all time.

Now, let's unpack what this movie's about, because there's some very interesting concepts here.

First, you've got the obvious critique of masculinity, because remember the narrator, he can't sleep until he feels emotions, which is a narrative on how men don't really feel emotions.

We don't know how to handle them, we don't know how to identify them, we don't know how to process them.

And it's only when he goes to these support groups that he can start feeling them, right?

Our modern day men don't speak this language of emotion very well.

We haven't been guided by our fathers, just like the whole scene and Tyler's in the bathtub talking about how we don't have fathers and maybe more women isn't really the answer either.

Now Tyler is trying to initiate other men through ritual, which is something that we don't really have anymore.

And some people think that that's one of the issues with men today is that we're trying to constantly prove ourselves to each other to gain acceptance that we are "real men." If you look at the tribal cultures that haven't kept up with modern society and technology, they continue to this day to do practices of proving that someone is a man.

And I think the idea is that there's a completion there in an acceptance to feel like, "Okay, cool, I did the ritual, I'm a man, I don't need to continuously prove myself anymore." And just kind of try to be a better representative and member of your society.

Like some tribes will do circumcisions when a man hits purity.

Sometimes they'll take their men, you know, boys out into the wild to learn how to survive.

You know, Amazon tribes, they'll do this thing where they put their boys hands into these gloves filled with like fire ants.

That sting like hell and it's a test of strength through pain, just like the chemical burn scene.

So there's a lot of parallels there.

And a fight club is about embracing violence and these men bond over the violence.

They are initiating each other into becoming real men by beating each other up.

And the subtle warning is that this can get really dangerous, this can get very destructive when you begin terrorizing the whole world and sort of using this violence and chaos to spill over into the real world.

Which is why consumerism is actually the safer avenue for all of us in a way.

And it's all about, you know, 20 years ahead of its time, kind of like the movie, I did a film analysis of a deocracy maybe two years ago that also a 20 years ahead of its time, aka predictive programming event.

Because today, you know, you've got this red pill manosphere thing where you've got men desperately seeking the acceptance of other men and the approval of other men.

They want to be initiated, they want to gain the approval of your and your tates and stuff that they pass these trials of masculinity.

They need a real man to say to you, you know what, you're a real man.

Which is actually ironically very anti masculine to look for approval from other men.

And this manifest in modern society as sort of, you know, real men are black belt mixed martial artists or their military special ops guys or they, you know, they'll, you know, red David Goggins, who's turned out to be a deadbeat dad, right from what I'm hearing online.

I don't follow them so I don't know if that's true or not, but I've seen stuff the same like all this tough talk about getting up and running 20 miles in the morning and it's like, dude, or you could just take care of your kids, you could do that too.

And because again, it's about the ego, it's about like David Goggins has this unsatiable need to prove that he is a real man.

He is the biggest man there is, right.

Sometimes these guys will tend these red pill bro events.

In fact, they had one here in Salt Lake City not too long ago with all these lines not wool or, you know, lines not sheep type dudes.

You've got these fake boot camps.

Guys will spend $15,000 to go get hazed in this weekend boot camps and stuff.

Like it's pretty weird, right.

Everyone like all those men are seeking this right of passage and I get it to them not above it.

Like sometimes I feel like I want to, you know, I want to prove myself as a man.

I want to be the, you know, most whatever fill in the blank, right.

We need to feel like men, we need some kind of trial to prove our masculinity to others, but it's not crystal clear what that is.

We don't all agree on what that looks like.

You know, some people are like, I've got the biggest truck.

Some people like, I got the biggest muscles.

I got the biggest winner, whatever, right.

And we think that we're led to believe by other men that a way to prove your real man is to reject any sort of femininity, right.

And if we reject any kind of feminine traits that'll clearly signal to other men that we are in fact real men, okay.

What they're really selling is the desire to be in fight club desire to be an un-evolved child, right.

Because look at fight club.

Look at these guys there.

They're not really because society programs and says like, look, you need to be a pacified male that shows up to the dreaded day jobs and sits in your little office and says what you're supposed to say and does what you're supposed to do.

So you can bring home a paycheck so you can take care of your family and give them food shelter and all that stuff, right.

That's like that's the modern interpretation of what a quote unquote real man is.

Some of these guys reject that and they're like, I don't want to do that.

What about some cuck begging for a raise.

I want to be out there.

I want to be fighting.

I don't want any responsibilities.

I don't need any women in my life.

I don't need family structure.

I don't need any of that stuff.

But like that's not the way the world is today.

And I think some people think, gosh, it'd be easier if I could just go out and hunt.

Hunt a bore or whatever.

I don't know.

Because the worst thing to these guys is to be some sucker at a dreaded day job working for some boso boss.

But can I have the day off?

Right.

That's like weak stuff.

And I get it.

Like I'm not above any of this.

All these I battle with these thoughts in my head too.

So I don't say this from a place of judgment.

I'm just pointing out and critiquing it.

Right.

But I don't advocate for the fight club idea either.

I'm kind of like, I don't know.

You guys are like a bunch of boys who don't want to grow up.

And it's like you've got responsibilities.

Yeah, you don't look.

I don't want to go to the dreaded day job and beg for a raise either.

But like I got a family I want to take care of.

And I think that's for me.

That's masculine.

I think I think going into some miserable job you hate to pay the bills is a sacrifice.

Like that's what sacrifice looks like today.

And a lot of people wish the sacrifice is risking your life to go hunt like a caveman, you know.

Because like in some days that is some days I do think like man that would be easier than doing this.

Anyway, that's why the film shows how Tyler gets the upper hand and now he doesn't have to work for his dreaded day job anymore.

You know, he beats himself up and it's like, you know, you watch that and you think, oh man, that's a great idea.

Which is the actual opposite of what today's sort of masculine and he looks like, right.

And it kind of took a while to morph into what it is today, you know, because it used to be like men would go work these tough manual labor jobs and today it's more.

I mean, I don't know if that's really fair.

I think I think you get blue collar and white collar jobs today as well.

But anyway, my point is the red pill manosphere stuff.

Andrew Tate calls this the matrix.

We're in this world is trying to keep our true masculinity suppressed and these red pill bros they reject having any feminine traits nor having women in their lives like them, they're like women are only for procreating and sex and that's it.

You know, like that's why fight club is only men, right.

The only female presence in the home movie is Marla who is basically Tyler's Foktoi because that's what women are relegated to in this, you know, hyper masculine thing of fight club.

There's also this concept of this ritualistic initiation.

You see the alter egos the shadow of Tyler is a common theme you see with MK ultra and dissociative identity disorders fragmenting the mind to create these altars the narrator uses a variety of altars.

At the men's support group member Marla talked about that.

She says who you rupper corneus any of these names you use.

So his true name is we just call narrator but his ultimate alter that he creates is his shadow which is Tyler dirt in which he tries to integrate the whole film he struggles to do so till the end when he shoots himself in the head in order to complete the the reconciling of the shadow right.

He integrates the shadow to the death and rebirth ritual and it's literal a literal death he literally kills himself and you heard all the references to Christ and resurrection throughout the whole movie he says it over and over or in the book as well I should say.

Now the book in chapter 22 we confirm Tyler is a alter ego he dissociative identity disorder and in chapter 23 he tells people yes if anyone seen the film civil and I've never seen the movie but it's about a woman with multiple identities right very DID type stuff.

In the book in chapter 23 he says you never gave your real name in a support group you inauthentic shit since I saved her life Marla thinks your name is Tyler dirt in.

So now that I know about Tyler will he just disappear no Tyler says still holding my hand I want to be here in the first place if you didn't want me.

I'll still live my life while you're asleep but if you fuck with me if you change yourself to the bed at night or take big doses of sleeping pills then we'll be enemies and I'll get you for it.

Oh this is bullshit this is a dream Tyler is a projection he is a dissociative personality disorder a psychogenic fugue state Tyler dirt in is my hallucination.

Fuck that shit Tyler says maybe your mind gets a frenetic hallucination I was here first Tyler says yeah yeah well let's just see who's here last this isn't real this is a dream and I'll wake up then wake up.

So there you go you we prove through the the book that Tyler is an alter as if we didn't know that already but you know case you adults.

Then chapter 23 we hear more about Tyler and who he is which sounds very much like red pill alpha roast off this is what it says says I love everything about Tyler dirt in his courage and his smarts his nerve.

Tyler is funny and charming and forceful and independent and men look up to him and expect him to change their world.

Tyler is capable and free and I am not I'm not Tyler dirt but you are Tyler Marla says.

Tyler and I share the same body and until now I didn't know it whenever Tyler was having sex and Marla I was asleep Tyler was walking and talking while I thought I was asleep everyone and fight club and project mayhem noomi as Tyler dirt in.

So Tyler is of course the inner bad boy and narrator wants so badly to become him because society has made narrator reject the other sort of masculinity and he's been repressing this and that's why he's suffering it's why he can't sleep that's the catalyst for the whole movie.

Because that's what society wants him to do because that's sort of primal wrong masculinity is far too dangerous to chaotic.

And the problem with this is like it lends itself to this if everyone did this it lends itself to the social Darwinian thing which is the church of Satan.

System philosophy and these ultra libertarian attitudes that take us down the path of fascism and like strength is the ultimate sort of tell.

The ultimate guiding force in societies.

What it might makes right I think is what they say.

And it's actually much safer to have a society of neutered men who go along with the rules and take care of others and have empathy and to have this you know.

And I say feminine traits is what they would say you know I don't agree with that but the that's a safer society than to have this battle of the strongest psychopath right.

Which is very much like what the the Nazi Nietzsche ubermange the Superman right is very much that idea.

Like a basic training type initiation he does on the narrator title doesn't moves on to doing it with other people in fight club and he wants to do this to the whole world.

And that's the whole reason he does that chemical burn is to get the narrator towards the bottom he's trying to get down to the base identity so he can rebuild him into the new ubermange it's an alchemical process right.

And he initiates other men through fight club via these rituals of stripping down their ego like how project mayhem they would literally shave their heads they would lose their names they would lose their identity and these are the things you see in you know military basic training it's the same thing.

And the entire setup for fight club is a cult it's a secret society that's why they can't talk about fight club that is the val silence of Harper crates right.

And we saw how they were going to cut off the narrator's balls for violating the valve silence.

And they even initiate their their new initiates underground in these basements these fight club basements where they do the fights.

Because going underground is where you reprogram a mind okay very much like Allison wonderland going down the rabbit hole.

Now mk ultra is the theme that we see since we know that Tyler is basically programming his troops to do things as far as committing murder very much like project chaos and trials man and what the goals of mk ultra was the program killers.

So yes this movie is kind of about mk ultra and this is kind of what the CIA program ideally wanted mk ultra to function like to have brainwash assassins commit murder.

And having an alter in the in the victim of mk ultra is to create an alter ego that's unaware of that the alter is part of the main person right so to create a Tyler dirt and the narrator is completely unaware of Tyler being an alter ego and that alter will go create chaos and murder and assassinations and what and then narrator will wake up and be like I had no idea what's going on like that's the that was the ultimate goal of mk ultra.

And Tyler has an entire arsenal of skills and a personality that narrator does not he's you know the shadow projection and he's very much like the trials man and right and you think about a project chaos is even similar in name to project mayhem because project mayhem is all about chaos and they try to counter it with the project hope of order.

And the members are even called like they have rituals they have chance like his name is robber pulsing and the program to kill you know and project chaos was doing surveillance and anti war activism stuff like the project is was all about suppressing the the hippie movement right suppressing leftists suppressing the war activists that were protesting.

And Tom on the book shows how manson was a protected asset for chaos you know because he was on parole and he violated a bunch of times and he was always let loose and seems pretty clear to me that he was part of a mk ultra project chaos type thing.

Because manson actually linked up with project chaos at the hate ashberry and San Francisco which was supposedly started by David Smith who was in fact connected to mk ultra i'm also working on an mk ultra deep dive as well I got a lot of a lot of thing he's in a lot of pies so stay subscribed with my show.

Now there's a fine line between intelligence agencies and secret societies and that's what we observe here in fight club because there's symbolism of free masonry we've been talking about the whole time note that in free masonry there is a title of Tyler right Tyler is the guardian of the mysteries Tyler has a sword and is posted outside of the lodges when they're doing initiations and lets only those who are worthy pass through.

It's like having a password in eyes wide shut and this is you know just like they show us for project mayhem and they have people show up on the porch and they have to sort of only those worthy are allowed to go through and he's warning others about revealing the secrets you do not talk about fight club.

So a Tyler is actually literally a free masonic role and the whole ordeal is about initiating these men through multiple stages first they go underground into the basement and through the violence of fighting they're then tested for their val of silence not to speak about fight club.

They also have to learn all the roles of the group and be able to sort of chant them and this is all the first degree stuff then they become a second degree fellow craft when they move into the house for project mayhem and they're given various assignments secret assignments shaved head all that stuff.

Then they go to the third degree of the master Mason which is the narrator which is the death and rebirth this is to we're talking about what you call blue lodge free masonry the first three degrees.

And this is to the death and rebirth ritual is to simulate the death and rebirth of higher mbiff the master Mason of free masonry who built solmins temple.

And the narrator integrates the shadow of Tyler and he is in fact then reborn he is a new man he is the higher mbiff resurrected from death when he shoots himself in the head.

And another theme you see is the rejection of consumerism and materialism which I tie an anastasism literally movie starts out and he says everything is a copy of a copy of a copy right.

Anastasism shows up because Tyler is initiating the narrator through death Tyler also offers up the path to salvation from this materialistic world from buying furniture on IKEA Tyler offers the path out.

And he is ushered in through Marla Marla is the Sophia she is the goddess of wisdom she's actually the first character that he meets on his journey which has a significant impact on him in the heroes journey she is the guiding goddess figure.

The two forces of the shadow and the Sophia are teaching the narrator or mankind how to transcend from this prison planning of anastasism.

So when Tyler the whole time is talking about how God hates us and we're the singing dancing crap of the world.

And saying the whole premise here is that this is materialism and you need to reject that to find the real the real heaven the real pluroma.

And it's always about questioning like hey is it is materialism of this world really good do you really like it or you've been programmed to buy through consumerism and capitalism to think this is the greatest thing there is.

You know what kind of dining said defines me as a person.

It's consumerism is trying to claim that you can reaffirm your own identity again this idea of proving your masculinity this is proving whatever like the marketing the Edward Bernaysian marketing knows they can manipulate you they can you know for women it's like are you beautiful that proves your real woman so how can you become beautiful by this makeup by this product right.

And they do the same thing with men and it's all about trying to reaffirm your identity and having someone say there you go you're officially a real man you're a real woman.

And the whole purpose is that they advertise to promise that will finally feel satisfied will finally feel manly if we can you buy the city sweety soap.

And it's all contributes to different layers of an outer persona while the true will the authentic self is suppressed and all the the issues that come up from suppressing our true in herself this anxiety this depression insomnia right as the narrator has in the film.

And capitalism and consumerism they block this path to true freedom by enslaving us you know we work harder and harder to buy more and more to sort of prove ourselves meanwhile the path to true happiness is to actually go inward find the true will the divine spark of God within us that's the concepts of no storcism.

And no storcism is all about viewing this world as a illusion is a very prison planet is very nihilistic right says that God the one more worshipping has built this prison for us he's a false god and when we die we have to reincarnate and experience this this materialistic hell all over again.

So the only path to salvation is to get into the real the real heavens the pluroma because you don't want to get recycled again and do this all over again you know which is pretty bleak.

And they present an argument that religion and consumerism has our entire mental state focused externally to find the happiness and salvation when in reality you can find it within with the inner divine spark.

And that's how you escape the materialistic demier dream which is inherently meaningless.

And it says that there is meaning in life is just not what this illusory world the Maya has been telling you to pursue.

And you also have the obvious references Tyler makes that God actually hates us this mass ritual of death and rebirth they're trying to initiate the whole world by instilling chaos through project mayhem this is the order out of chaos.

And the book starts out telling us exactly the vibe of this whole thing it says first step to eternal life is you have to die.

And the narrator says he he's died he dies and he's reborn every evening he says I am enlightened and you hear more in the book about how they're doing these human sacrifices in project mayhem they were each task to do 12 sacrifices kind of like the 12 disciples of Christ right.

And you get that wall of driver's licenses in that home which shows they must have went through with it right.

And then the book he says I want the whole world to hit bottom and all of this points to our final point 9/11 which is human sacrifices to force the world to hit bottom and to cause change it's a pure chaos event out of which they can create order which is what you got all these surveillance programs from 9/11 you know.

And there's a lot of 9/11 pretty programming in the film like we talked about that mid air collision scene we talked about narrator finding marvellous phone number in the rubble of the explosion just like the magical passports.

We also hear there's 11 buildings that collapse to destroy the financial system.

Remember it's that see where narrator is trying to diffuse the bomb Tyler says there's 10 other bombs and 10 other buildings thus there is 11 11 bombs 11 buildings.

And we also hear in the book that the Parker Morris building is basically the world trade center this is one of the interesting things I found when I read the book.

Because they're on the Parker Morris building and they keep talking about it and they say repeatedly that it's 191 floors.

And I want you to remember this book and the film were both released prior to 9/11 but there's all these 9/11s throughout the storyline I'm going to read you from the book.

So Tyler and I are on top of the Parker Morris building with the guns stuck in my mouth and we hear glass breaking look over the edge it's a cloudy day even this high up this is the world's toss building.

What the world's toss building to catch that and this high up the wind is always cold it's so quiet this high up the feeling you get is that you're one of those space monkeys.

You do the little job you're trying to do pull a lever push a button you don't understand any of it and then you just die.

191 floors up you look over the edge of the roof and the street below is modeled with shag carpet of a shag carpet of people standing looking up the breaking glass is a window right below us.

A window blows outside of the building and then comes a file cabinet big as a black refrigerator right below us a six drawer filing cabinet drops right out of the cliff face of the building and drops turning slowly and drops getting smaller and drops disappearing.

Into the packed crowd.

Someone in the 191 floors under under us the space monkeys in the mischief committee of project mayhem are running wild destroying every scrap of history.

So 191 floors is very much 911 coded since you rearrange them and obviously you got 911 and it's all about bringing down skyscrapers right which is bringing down the world trade center through chaos and project mayhem of course very similar to the idea of discording ism and creating chaos for ares which ties us into the importance of the Pentagon because they use the five sided.

And then the Pentagon was the headquarters for this discordianism if you recall the origin story.

Now furthermore the author in the book literally says this is the world's tallest building which the New York City World Trade Center was in the 70s until the serious tower sort of took the crown.

And even furthermore this film premiered at the Venice Film Fest September 10th 1999 very close to 911 of course right.

And you hear in the final scene Tyler says this is it ground zero which everyone knows the term ground zero is used for the world trade center after 911.

And there's the main theme of the supposing polarities that connects in there's an issue where the narrator wants to integrate his shadow the opposing force and he can't do it until the very end when he's able to incorporate his inner feminine balance of Sophia through Marla.

And the final scene shows narrator and Marla holding hands and harmony and Tyler is finally integrated in full.

Tyler was this shadow the high octane masculinity but he needed to balance through the feminine of Marla.

And it's always about finding this harmony of the opposing polarities and I argue that narrator might have completed that.

We also note that Marla appears as narrator spirit animal during the shock repractice right when narrators in the support groups and he was in the cave it was originally a penguin.

But after he meets Marla she becomes the penguin take note that the penguin also has the black and white patterns right again with the black and white posing polarities like you see on the floor multiple times in the movie and in 911 we have this opposing polarity symbolism of twin pillars becoming one the one world trade center.

It's kind of like integrating the shadow into the narrator we saw the symbolism of the black and white floor throughout the film the checker boards and this is all the free Masonic lodge idea of the opposing polarities because the whole movie is loaded with free Masonic allegory of initiating men just like how fight club is meant only so is free masonry.

So in conclusion in conclusion like aluminum and firm fight club the whole movie is sort of initiation ritual and you could argue that this got taken literally when 911 manifested when the red pill manosphere stuff manifested recently it's a it's a fascinating look at films and pop culture and symbolism influencing reality in real life.

So I want to thank you for joining me on this two part deep dive it's it's definitely one of my favorite movies it's definitely loaded with all kinds of a cult concepts I mean you wouldn't think so on the surface usually they they put these kinds of things behind satanic imagery and all kinds of crazy stuff this one is more it's actually kind of more on the nose and and obvious when you look at it from a certain perspective.

So if you enjoyed the show I ask you to leave a five star review maybe while I'm chatting here in the last minute grab your little phone whatever whenever platform around dropped me a five star.

If you like the show because I got one star haters out there that don't get it and their mouth breathers and they'll never get it so we have to we have to counteract them with a five star review.

Because only the intelligent people make it this far the mouth breathers they tuned out already okay and they hate it he talks so much it's two hours get to the point yeah okay got it those are the one star haters and those are the people that dominate the reviews so if you like the show and you're like do why do people think this is dumb this is actually pretty good argument.

I'm your host Isaac Wisehop and while we're taking a little break from the show I'm going to take you down grifter alley the amount of censorship that I've battled over the years is unbelievable I started blogging and writing books in 2011 and I started podcasting creative video content in 2014.

My channels constantly get shut down I've had Amazon reject books that I've written and the saga just keeps going instead of folding up the whole project I've had to rebuild and rebrand multiple times for reasons I have yet to understand you can check out the full story at Illuminati watcher calm hit the start here tab on the menu so that leads me to you I need you to support the show because the power controllers apparently have a problem with us.

The best way to do that is by becoming a member on one of my supporter feeds where you'll get and free versions of the show early access and hundreds of monthly bonus episodes that the free feed losers will never get to hear the platform I recommend is patreon.com/illuminati watcher because you'll get all those goods and I will send you my two most popular books for free the dark path and Kubrick's code all for less than a cup of coffee a month.

Another reason I like patreon is the community comment sections because there are over a thousand members and sometimes the comment section gets real lively.

App compatibility with Spotify and Apple and much more it makes it a no-brainer I can also provide an option to watch videos ad free at tier two annual discounts and a whole lot more check it all out at patreon.com/illuminati watcher Now the easiest platform is Apple Podcast Premium.

If you listen to the show on Apple Podcast just mash the button you're in.

The cheaper alternative to patreon is one that I created you get the same perks that you get a patreon on the free books and all that.

It's the VIP section you can check that out at alluminati watcher.com click the VIP menu tab of top you can read the details you'll have to copy and paste an RSS code into a compatible app of your choice right the VIP section it doesn't work with every single app but there's a list of the popular ones that it works with like Apple Podcasts, Castbox, Overcast, PocketCast and much more again check out alluminati watcher.com hit the VIP menu tab and you can compare all three of these supporter options.

Because lots of people think I should be doing this for free which is very admirable but it takes an incredible amount of time recording hosting content and getting software equipment.

I got to read whole books sometimes taking notes on everything that I consume.

It's literally a full time job for me to juggle with a day job, a home life and a family.

And I'm a one man army which is great because I actually don't answer to anybody but you all right that means you can trust that I'm giving you my take and not some political hack job angle or corporate slave master shielding or any other kind of nefarious purposes but that requires you to support the show if you're in the position to if this is the last five bucks of the month that you have I don't want it.

You need to prioritize your health, your family, your relationships that needs to be priority number one but if you got it you want to give me a cup of coffee let's go.
