This is just awesome; and to think people pay to watch comedy like this
10/10; if he'd chosen stand-up he couldn't have made it work, but play this off seriously and it's hilarious

It is funny that he's arguing that there is some kind of deep meaning and history behind mystic archetypes and its like yes ....and? Now keep going. You found a question now look for answers? Do your job lol you can't say "there must be a reason there's a connection and it's vague and there is no answer" without having tried and failed to find that answer.
That's like me going "hey isn't funny that the word "bread" sounds like the Norwegian word for bread? Really makes you think huh? Maybe there's a reason both words mean bread."
and then doing nothing else with that observation
Which is really funny
He isn't wrong, but he means to use it to drive a wedge in "In this house we believe in science" liberalism for so called "Judeo-Christian/Western values" and knee-jerk "Don't touch that social institution, it might be structural and society will collapse into cannibalism!" conservatism.
That's definitely another thing worth knowing. In lieu of pursuing answers to the woo woo bullshit questions he raises he also offers a solution of "returning" to a traditionalist set of norms that is fundamentally impossible. Not only is the past of his imagination just that: imagined, but the ability to dial the clock back is impossible because the realities of the past were determined by the material conditions at that time. Since those material conditions do not match our current time any attempt to enforce the norms or expectations of the past will be an uphill confrontation against reality itself. That confrontation will be rhetorically, politically, and even physically violent. In short, it's how you get fascism.
