Ozempic... If not for those side-effects...

Get rid of adblock and the internet almost will feel like Idiocracy. Ads everywhere, short, staged, unentertaining attention grabbing videos everywhere.

IQ can't drop since 100 will always be the average. There should be a different way of measuring intelligence to see how it compares to generations.

Its funny how many Maga people who watch this thinking they are the smarter that these people

tesla and apple comes to mind where people throw a 1400 bucks phone on the ground as they got told the glass is indestructible. and where people break their fingers for purposely sticking them under the hood while closing it because the company told em it is safe now. hyper consumers that think they boost their identity trough a product.

Feminism ruined my life. I mean my wife

Isnt this the guy from Wisecrack?

This is quite a thought provoking assessment of the film's meaning. I had already perceived that people had replaced critical thinking with tautologies imposed by authority. I'm glad you drew a parallel with religion also necessitating the replacement of critical thinking. Thanks for introducing Lacanian psychoanalysis.

Might just be me but in regards to advertisements specifically, my mind has gotten really good at slipping right over them. They’re nothing but a waste of time

I would argue, the religion of politics is leading us into a world of idiocracy. Intellectual discussions abound in Christianity to those who actually read the Bible and pray.

Very cool essay. Consumerism, yeah, bad, and you make lots of great points. If your shrink is convincing you they know more than you do, though, you have a bad one. Your job in therapy is to get feedback and figure yourself out yourself.

If you think it's hard to get help with obesity, try saying you can't gain/losing weight while being a young woman. I spent months proving I didn't have an eating disorder before they would check my intestines. (Ulcerative Colitis)

f the GOP had put all Confederate State Officers and and Confederate State Representatives in Federal Prison, made no concessions to prior slave owners...Donald TRUMP WOULD HAVE NEVER MADE IT TO THE WH

Reminds me of Republicans listening to RATM

When you're angry, just remember to take an enema

For all of you saying the film was too optimistic and that the president would be more harsh, remember the line, Hard Times make Strong Men The President was probably the closest they had to a sensible person who had a somewhat decent common sense, compared to the general populace, and given how everything works I wouldn't be surprised he won the election by a landslide(probably a literal one too)

I would say political talks with smoke signals would be pretty heated, though not as heated as talks with a full on fire

The imagination is more powerful than will power. I can't remember where i heard that but it's the reason i don't smoke, drink, or eat junk food.

Diet coke is still bad for you

We need The Rock to run for office

hmmm you should drinnk more mtn dew its got electriclolites its good for your brain

Really excellent analysis of semantic contagion. Absolutely spot-on. The problem is that willpower has to be developed, and developing strong willpower only comes from making Odysseus Pacts with yourself...and I mean over and over and over again. We can make Pacts with ourselves at any scale of willpower, so there's always some level where you can force yourself to keep a promise to yourself. There's always some concern or want just outside of your immediate desire or focus where you can find opportunities for successful Pacts. The counter to this is is that if you actually live your life from one Odysseus Pact to the next...people will come to *loathe* you. There's a point at which self-control, self-mastery, and self-restraint become socially undesirable because we don't want some tryhard making us look bad. It's the same reason employers avoid overqualified candidates even when they're excited to bring their qualifications to a role: management knows it will shake things up and disrupt the status quo. This means that, ultimately, willpower depends on how desperately you need to be liked. The effect of most Odysseus Pacts of real value that we might make with ourselves will also make us seem very "weird" from the outside. "Why don't you just do this instead, or do it this way?" If you tell the truth, that you've made a Pact with yourself, then your interlocutor will try to subvert you and cajole you into breaking it. So, in order to chain one Pact to the next, over the course of a lifetime, you must accept everyone around you thinking you're weird if not outright alien. There's no cultural or social support for making Odysseus Pacts because it makes you "antisocial" and counter-cultural by definition. Everyone else is having a meltdown as a hoard over the siren call of some new FOMO and you're that one weirdo sitting contently over there in the corner with wax in your ears. "Like what? Who are you? You think you're better than me?" That'll be the average person's response, because the average person not only doesn't really want willpower, but doesn't *realize* they don't want it because they haven't honestly reckoned with its terms. Most people will bristle at my analysis not because they're lazy or lacking willpower, but because they're afraid to reckon with its real terms: social alienation and isolation. We don't want to even begin to think about the cold hard fact that willpower *necessitates* loneliness, so most never even begin down the path. It isn't that their willpower has become so debased that they can't find even a small hook to hang a Pact with themselves anymore. Rather, the problem becomes the terror most people feel when contemplating true social rejection. Most of us are just so terrified of seeming even a little strange that we won't take the first step necessary toward self-control, self-discipline, and self-mastery.

Please do me a favour and read the book (by P.K. Dick)

the world is fast asleep the curtain is just about to fall and the big finale begins. Hold tight, wait till the party's over Hold tight, we're in for nasty weather.

I feel like the biggest problem is that after the decline of religion in the west, people didn't really have anything to believe in. there was less church attendance, less belief in a moral structure and a higher power, all things that had kept western society alive for thousands of years. once religion was weakened, people attached themselves to politics and consumerism to fill the void. we can see the emotionalation of politics on both sides of the aisle, but especially the leftist progressive side of politics has really lead into emotion over fact. the best example of this is the trans debate, where someone FEELING a certain way, even if its an illogical gender, MUST be treated as fact no matter how much it effects people around them. or how to progressives immigration must be allowed no matter the economic state of the country or the ability for the state to provide/integrate so many people. that isn't to say the right is innocent on this either. in many ways trump has a whole cult of personality around him that sometimes borders on worship of him as someone who will fix all of america's problems. rampant superstition and distrust of the government is also widespread in many conservative circles. this distrust is often warranted but it often goes off the rails.

Prime = Brawndo

I was thinking about this the other day. Can't believe the reality we're in.

I would hate to be Truman, having everyone around me lying and never having an authentic connection to anyone, make seashore sounds like nightmare psychological torture dome.

11:15 I mean, you can add "the holocaust" "the theory of the globe earth" or even "the theory of gravity" if we're going to cast as wide a net as possible like this. The video is pretty good otherwise, so this jumped out as a quite strange assertion: "it's flexing ... MORE [my emphasis] than making a cogent argument". This sounds like what a genuine attempt at anti-intellectualism might be. But maybe it's all a wording issue? Funnily, when it comes to the deep state we do have effectively a singular person who usually knows: Sy (Seymour) Hersh. He's a bizarrely concentrated source. I'm still finding conspiracies that turned out to be real and the revelation always revolved around him. (recently I was rereading about the development of Israel's nuclear program and the U.S.'s attempt to cover it up, and then he pops up). The more you learn what has been revealed though of course you are filled with increasing uncertainty about the nature and disposition of the deep state, so I'm not giving an example to counteract the Lacanian concept. 13:59 Just to check, you aren't arguing one must do this isolated from and not leveraging the work of others? Again, just the wording is bothering me, that it could come off that way. Most people doing the intellectual labour aren't flexing more than they are making earnest attempts at understanding, so let's not frame them as doing the opposite.

6:30 lol the button shone in there

yeah let's knock that down a bit more. The belief in "superstition" aka supernatural, rather than materialistic point of view is kinda flawed and fails to understand history. Science was premised on based beliefs in supernatural, aka a creator outside universe, that made natural laws to govern the universe, which is unchallenged, but we forgot the reason behind them and seem to be true. Not that mention our universe and life appears highly designed, beyond our comprehension, as every step in human history we think we have a grasps on things, whoops, its more complex order than we thought. But influence of French revolution, we must use science to corrupt the influence of religion by saying it's backwards, rather than foundation of science. so yah, I'm one of those people who does not breed. .lol.....Have you ever seen a demon possessed person:? Pupils should not turn into slits and necks should not "puff up." I think the word is not consumerism, but corporatism, a form of fascism. I totally experience experience this in medical system now. I think I have guilliam barre syndrome, because it matches symptoms and progression of disease and I have 2 known precursors to disease they don't understand. Doctors really don't like when you self diagnose even when you point out facts. I don't care, due to delay in treatment because of them, the only way to prove it would be painful spinal tap, and can only treat it first few weeks. I also look up medicine side effects before I will even take one, as doctors do not. One prescribed me something for osteoporosis which is caused by one medication I am taking, to find out it's one of those medicines you see on tv that cause the thing you are treating. Namely, it can can cause long bone breakage in legs and necrosis of jawbone and to consult dentist if you recently had oral surgery. I had just had teeth pulled. Pareto principle, economics, 80s% of people are mediocre or poor at job while 20% do all the world, in all fields, in all history. They also reap 80% OF rewards. The larger the number of people, the worse this gets. 1000 people? 50 people do all the work and 950 are stupid. This is why we have 1%...its not because they are privileged, because history shows us, their descendants mostly lose all the money. There's also a correlative, the Peter principle, that managers, the enlightened class, only rise to level of incompetency. This is why all your managers can barely do their job, those who can get promoted to level of incompetency and stay there. But hey I just know much more about history, science, and economic theory rather than most.

Could have easily spun this healthcare bulshit by making the boys jump the border which would be actually incredibly easy and getting health Care and aid 😉....fuk this woke ass agenda

Note to self: Cheap humor is a sign of degeneration.

it's really funny watching Hollywood and all these media sources try and backtrack and be like "hey, kids, uhhh... not like that" after they were the ones who opened pandora's box in the first place and now the kids are taking their ideology and turning it against them and taking it and running with it and the media's like "ohhh shit" (please note i'm on the side of the kids protesting.)

In fact, we do live in an artificially engineered habitat enclosed by an electromagnetic force field, which includes an artificial sun and holographic moon, and celestial objects mislabeled galaxies, planets and stars. Even matter itself is merely electromagnetic energy manifested into physical form by some universal consciousness.

Disney world may be "fake". But the feelings of happiness and joy you experience there are real ❤

Honestly, it makes too much sense that companies that fuel obesity would fund someone like Lizzo

0:10 as i have seen you also made a video about the fans of 'rick and morty' - and i have not watched that video yet, i hope this does not come as a spoiler for me 😜 p.s.: also because i did not watch it yet (so i do not know your conclusion): for me, rick and morty did not 'age as well' as i hoped and falls short to 'the venture bros.' - as many other shows do to the best show ever 🤪 go team venture !! XD

Look into blackrock

Gotta save a link to this video so i can use it to win internet arguments

This is the hottest crap take I have even seen.

Hard to watch your vids when you over ennunciate, easy to listen to though, good job.

Glad you’re still making vids.. the folks over at wisecrack have lost the plot and are peddling virtue signaling

Jared: (Brags about being in Finland and the downsides to capitalism) Video: ad right after that for Botox Cosmetic

Great video, the Semantic contagion & medicalization concepts are interesting, makes me wonder if the rise in Transexualism is a byproduct of these two forces. Curious to see what others think (not trying to get political)

When the real irony is lost, it's all over. Hear me out. Idiocracy at face value is a comedy. But it's checking our pulse. Do we have the critical thinking to dig deeper? -falling birth rates are rooted in the 60s -unfair markets lead to monopolies -education has taught what to think not how -science is funded by whoever gains -government is poorly understood -prosperity is earned not given -leaders will pander to the lowest common denominators that we give them Now here's the irony. If you see the timeline, you've broken it.

Interesting

What was that you were saying about not trusting so much in influencers?

This movie is deeper than one can guess at first sight. Look at president Camacho: he certainly has not an high IQ, yet he actually has other types of knowledge: he is able to speak to people, he is able to make good choices as a leader without loosing the support of his people... But what happens when this kinds of skills, which are useful in real life, override logic, rationality, and pure knowledge?

Dont worry, humanity wont last to 2050.😊
