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

    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.
