  24. Thanks for another great video you guys are quickly becoming one of my favorite channels and every new video is always so relevant to what's going on in our lives today. If I could bake people watch them and understand what it's saying I would but from my personal experience people aren't very interested in learning about things they should already know about and don't I guess it's better to be entertained than informed but unfortunately that mindset leads us away from where I think we need to be. Considering it's not social justice Warriors or critical theory probably not much chance of finding its way into public schools but I think you should still try because everyone should be aware of the possibilities as previous generations have been. I find it very frustrating that 100 years ago people would easily have killed to have access to the knowledge we have free access to today and just by being available it's somehow becomes undesirable to most but maybe when free access to the world's abundance of information is no longer available to us again Maybe then people will finally realize how valuable it is and desire it again. Why is it people always want things they can't have but then when they can no longer want it anymore. To the content creators this is great material for junior high or middle school I think have you considered trying to interest early teens who could benefit from this material in the most I think especially considering the absence of civics in public schooling today or maybe it's just the nature of a free Society to not appreciate their situation and reject it until it's no longer available at which point they again want it but can't have it anymore. Well thankfully for those of us who do it's available and free to those few who actually appreciate it and desire it while we still have access to it.... "Thankfully frustrated" I think these two words fit how I feel about these things and though I don't think the majority are interested. I wonder how many others actually feel the same way I do?

  33. I heard mine described that way so many times by teachers and school counselors but it really never clicked in my head what it meant until I was out of school, for me that was at 16 years old after three attempts through the 9th grade. At that point of my life I was still in the first 25 years so still deep into the mindset that I was always the dumbest person in the room in whatever room I was in. That was something my father convinced me of before he left when I was five but he was so convincing I believed him for more than 25 years. Can't believe it took me that long to put it together but it did. I think I'm like a big ship that takes a long time to change course because of inertia because it took a full 25 more years probably before I realized everybody else is pretty dumb for the most part and now I know why. Between 18 and 19 I racked up eight felonies in short order spent my early twenties locked up and in rehab and in my early mid twenties woke up and finally got my GED and a degree in nuclear medicine. Unfortunately I never worked in the field because the eight felonies still follow me today and here I am at 53 looking around me and it's finally sinking in that the vast majority of people don't want to learn anything and in fact act as if it hurts and causes them physical pain. Maybe because for so long I felt I was so far behind everyone else I put more effort into learning and maybe it just is because I like learning or maybe I'll just never understand people and that just leaves me shaking my head wondering how things got to be the way they are. I certainly have never fit in anywhere and I'm reasonably certain that's not just how I feel but the results of me finally after 50 years starting to see things clearly for what they really are. I think I can clearly see reality finally after 53 years, but it confuses me and it frustrates me and it's just like a long game of Monopoly that used to be fun but isn't any longer. It seems fixed and unfair, way longer than it needs to be, and I hate it so much I'm just waiting for it to end and intentionally doing things that move me further in that direction. I just hate it so much and don't care anymore. I just wish it was over because no matter what I seem to do everydays a little worse than the day before. In fact looking back I can accept all the bad decisions I made early on and I agree it was wasted potential but sitting here now looking back at the last half of my life the words that come to mind are Wasted Effort. In fact the one thing consistent throughout has always been Frustration and Confusion. There has to be more to life than this to make it worth the effort and I doubt I'll ever figure that out. I'm an atheist now (and a nerd the only thing I truly enjoy anymore is learning) and I went through several phases wanting to believe in something because the happiest people I see in life I think truly believe in something but nothing I was able to truly get behind and embrace spiritually and intellectually at the same time. I would like nothing more then to feel secure in the knowledge that things made sense and there is justice somewhere in the universe and at some point after all this is over people will be rewarded for being good and living a good life and bad people will finally be punished for all the rotten things they've done to make life so bad for so many others that just wanted to be good and live their own lives and deserved much better than they got in their lives from what I have been referring to as "entitled narcissistic parasites over-represented in positions of power" who oddly enough always come out on top which is probably why they have earned that label from me. By far from start to finish from personal experience everything in my life tells me that just the opposite is true. Needless to say if we look at just at consistent things, my personal evaluation of everything would be as follows..... Life is too long, it's very confusing and frustrating and extremely unfair because the rewards for being completely rotten are great and the punishment for treating others with respect, thoughtfulness, and compassion is more than you can imagine. What else have I learned so far about me and my life specifically I'm single never married with no children lives alone and that's not expected to change. Just in the last year I am learning something new about myself that took me a good long time to accept that seems to be reasonably accurate I'm still testing it but it's helping me to be able to accept some things but at the same time making me want to reject others that seem to be firmly attached. Looks like I am weird and different from everything I can gather I am a male infj-t and most likely the strangest person you would ever hope to not meet. For the first time in my life I think I like who I am more than at any other point but I'm not very likeable or easy to accept from the Viewpoint of others just based on anecdotal evidence and direct personal observation. I will always speak truth as I understand it and it no longer concerns me what other people think about that because I think honesty is always better than any of the Alternatives because it allows others to properly evaluate who I am so they can make a honest and well-informed decision about whether or not and how I might fit into their life and that's just because I hate trying to figure out people nobody's honest they will lie to you and do whatever they can to gain Advantage as they see things tell you what you want to hear in order to Advance their position with no regards to how it affects anyone else. I love nature and animals and learning about anything real and solidly tangible but I don't like people Dave's need my life miserable and they're just 2 malicious and hard to figure out. Maybe that's why I like animals so much here in Florida we have a lot and they never lie to you they're easy to figure out and always genuine and people would do well to try to be more like them especially when it comes to relating to one another because I'm pretty sure with the exception of Werner Heisenberg nobody likes uncertainty. Anyone who made it this far musty as weird as I am but if you did thanks for listening toward living alone and I have to get things off my chest so I can face another day tomorrow. I hope you all do better than I did and maybe something I said could help others to understand their lives or at least realize they're not completely alone there might be somebody out there who is just like them and good luck

  41. 6:29 the problem isn't them it's us because though they are few in number there's more than enough of them to where we don't likely run out of them anytime soon specifics don't matter as to who and how and why because you could change all of those specific details and swap another one out anytime you like as it's not a new problem it's a very old problem that will always be a problem but one easily mitigated by those who are actively engaged and paying attention. The herd mentality responsible for all of our historical success I think will ultimately be the thing that destroys us if it doesn't evolve because what happens when you stopped evolving (you go extinct). In the pursuit of Liberty playlist is excellent and I recommended to everyone without exception to understand but don't focus on being victimized by others because it can very easily be summed up in the very first video how we enslave ourselves with all of the minutiae effectively being Irrelevant for all practical purposes because you can change everything else and not make a difference in the long run but we must shed this groupthink ideology of go along to get along but don't make waves that has brought us many bad things like cancel culture and Nazis and I'm convinced no longer has anything useful to offer us except maybe going backwards and slowly fading away into history like so many other species before ours because people just refuse to think for themselves anymore. There is no Manna From Heaven no ready-made answers from on high and no shortcut to the Easy Button and just like everything else in nature that is natural the inherently lazy path of least resistance is the most effortless and easy to follow but that's not who we want to be because we're kind of different and where we Excel is under pressure when were overcoming adversity and one only needs to look at Society to realize the reality of our best days being behind us if we continue on the current trajectory because fat comfortable lazy apathetic satiated and unchallenged are not our friends. It's like the whole world suffers from dunning-kruger effect assuming because they live in the information age that they're more informed than any other people ever have been and they couldn't be further from the truth. I definitely agree we could be but we certainly are not and there's an almost infinite amount of anecdotal evidence to support that if you just bother to look honestly not at everyone else but at that guy in the mirror with the fragile ego and abundance of false Pride he thinks he's the greatest thing since sliced bread but is little more than a fuzzy mold under the facade he feels determined to hide behind for fear of being rejected by The Herd. While you're looking around for the boogeyman to blame all of your problems on just don't forget to look in the mirror because that's what you'll find the source of pretty much every problem you've ever had or ever will have along with any potential Solutions so step away from the Kool-Aid and let their herd move on without you it's (past) time you learned to think for yourself and I promise if you do you'll be glad you did and if you don't we're all kind of collectively screwed because we are far too eager to give away our power and let someone else do all of our thinking for us which is pathetic considering were the Pinnacle of achievement of 4.6 billion years of evolution (it's just often hard to tell) and it's about time we started acting like it. Reject the Great Reset, reject Agenda 2030, reject the herd mentality and groupthink that keeps us all stuck, and embrace personal responsibility self-awareness introspection intellectual honesty and massive doses of humility so you can clearly see a better future and the reality of our current trajectory

  43.  @gypsylove4291  well in that case forget I said anything and enjoy the political theater as most if not all people see what they want to see hear what they want to hear and believe what they want to believe anyhow and I doubt your knee different but to me a bunch of elderly people walking around snapping selfies in the Rotunda isn't exactly something that would qualify for Insurrection status. The majority of the people's behaving erratically were FBI agents hoping others would fall asleep and some did but none of that really matters because if Trump decides to run he'll run and all the manufactured drama won't do anything different this time than it did the first four years with all the false accusations fake dossier warrants for wiretapping gained under false pretenses and false documentation and the left will still be suffering from TDS a false sense of superiority caused by the Dunning Kruger effect and an acute rectal cranial inversion because whether it's Trump or anyone else on the right the left blew it overplayed their hand overreached and showed their true stripes and as always when a pendulum swings too far in either direction when it returns it acts like a wrecking ball so it's doubtful any of the attempts to keep Trump from running again will do much with the Dems here and they'll be lucky to have the White House or the majority in either branch of Congress for the rest of the decade at least. Might as well face it politicians are self-serving Liars on both sides of the aisle incompetent and ineffective but with that in mind the left can't govern at all so they should mostly just sit back shut up and watch how the right does it and try not to make things any worse than I already are. It's sad that Society is full of ineffective sheeple looking around waiting for someone to tell them what to do what to think what to say and now even how to say it where everything is someone else's fault and someone else's responsibility to fix. The future does look bleak indeed and I'm not feeling very encouraged but for anyone who isn't sure what to do but plans on voting the safest thing would be to step away from the Kool-Aid and let the herd move on without you time to start thinking for yourself and just vote against the incumbents across the board because if they're doing a good job and few of them are then they have nothing to worry about from that and if they're not it's time for them to go and hopefully somebody else will come in and do a better job. Power corrupts and consolidation of power or expanding government will do nothing but work against us ideally you'd want to atomize power and disseminate it into as many hands as possible ideally down to the individual but as wishful thinking is never inadequate substitute for realistic expectations we need to move towards what was intended originally and that is not a democracy but rather a constitutional republic of independent confederated sovereign states who hold all the power with very little delegated to the federal government. Benjamin Franklin described democracy (representative democracy) as two rolls and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch because democracy is basically a turnkey tyranny waiting to happen when you don't have an educated informed and engaged constituency of Voters which is unfortunate considering everybody fully Embraces their entitlement to vote but precious few fuel equally strong about the responsibility to know what the hell they're voting about especially when the herd is terminally distracted preferring to be entertained rather than informed what's their top priority being looking around to see what the rest of the herd is doing and then trying to follow suit and blend in rather than stand out. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, these are not the droids you're looking for, Move Along nothing to see here. Energy check food is next because everybody can becomes a lot more malleable when they're starving and it's intentional because if they really wanted to make things better they bring some more oil online and close the border and make policy that improves things for US citizens instead of just lining the pockets of themselves and they're crony capitalist cohorts and then they wouldn't need to import millions of illegal immigrants to replace Us Legacy Americans with because we don't vote the way they want us to and we're not very good at doing what we're told. When you're tired of the theater and lies and manufactured problems you should check out the playlist in pursuit of Liberty and then go look in the mirror and ask yourself what role you play and what you can do to make things better for you instead of thinking the government's going to fix anything

  72.  @ministryoftruth1451  my assessment would apply to anyone who using nothing but their intellect and intuition is so cocksure that they can figure it out without any outside information or data coming into play but maybe that's just the scientist in me and my bias towards the scientific method over speculation and assumptions and biased by my perspective which is often very different from the majority and I wonder why you label it as epistemology which carries a bigger burden for proof based on facts then an intuitive conclusion does. As an infj I understand intuition quite low and I have attained a level of Mastery well above-average and I rely on it heavily and it serves me well but I would never substitute it for some cold hard not open to interpretation facts that can't effectively be arguing with except for maybe by somebody so arrogant that they would you there's as Superior especially when contrasted with the scientific method. Basically I'm not sure we're disagreeing about much other than Maybe our understanding of or at least definition of epistemology or he'll we could be even having this discussion for all the wrong reasons which would invalidate the whole thing in my opinion because for me intentions matter at least as much as outcomes so what was that again that you were hoping to achieve (and are we going for distance or accuracy)? You and I can sit here and debate the sexual preferences of the color 9 all day long and it changes nothing except for how we perceive things because I'm going to bet the color 9 didn't even notice and definitely didn't care what conclusion we came to as to who it's sleeping with tonight

  74.  @ministryoftruth1451  Does somebody need some attention? It's easy to see how considering the multitude of Character defects and complete lack of social skills. So you don't approve them Mr Arrested Development I didn't mean to leave the impression that I might give a shit what you think so that was totally unintentional. I bet you have a real hard time making friends don't you but it's probably just because you suck at it because you certainly aren't doing it right. Maybe if you tried a little harder to act a little less toxic because honestly If I wanted to deal with a petulant child I'd have a kid but I've already done that and I'm not so tolerant of the infantile mind anymore just saying. That's quite the problem you have there almost pathological but manners are free and if you find some normal people who can tolerate you for a little while you might hang out with them and just keep your mouth shut and watch what they do and then try to emulate that behavior later when you're around normal adults and want to try to blend in but not my job your parents should have done that. Oh and the not saying anything actually I said plenty so I'm sure the problem is a matter of comprehension much like you would expect from somebody with such a poor vocabulary they can barely string together and intelligence sentence but you keep working on it you'll get there and if you need some help call somebody who cares because I certainly do not. Good luck with that rectal cranial inversion and don't worry (about me if I want any shit out of you I'll just squeeze your head so go away you wasted too much of my time already and always remember speak to people the way you want to be spoken to because most of the time we're going to assume you already did.

  87. A quick and easy fix would be to Simply raise the reserve rate to 95% which would effectively eliminate the ability of parasites to expand the money supply through fractional-reserve practices and eliminate or severely limit the ability of the parasites to subject people to Usery (the application of Interest) which historically speaking has always been frowned upon and still is in some parts of the world because once again that money is created from nothing but death and has no value of its own that it didn't steal from what was already there. Where's Old Hickory Andrew Jackson (a true American Hero) when you need him? Somebody or group of somebody's need to step up and do what he did and then not allow a tool like Alexander Hamilton undo everything as soon as power changes hands again bullion trading it in the Constitution as another amendment to the Bill of Rights and ratified by the requisite number of states as it should have been all along. If people understood money what it really is how it's really created and what it really does it could not exist as it does only enduring because of faith and ignorance. Please make more videos and encourage others to do so as well explaining how the monetary system really works (or more accurately doesn't work) because if you remove the ignorance the Faith immediately evaporates along with it and that is the key to having a healthy functional monetary system that work for everyone at which point it doesn't matter what we use as a token to represent value as long as it has no value of its own like Fiat paper money like we have now but one where everybody understands it completely and comprehensive it for what it is like Lincoln's greenbacks or Colonial script and never give parasites the ability to print and issue it again and it could displace what we currently have overtime simply by using it to pay all government employees and requiring it to be the currencies all taxes are paid in it's not that difficult if only we can get people to care because right now people don't because they haven't properly understood how detrimental Red Wings not to and they haven't identified it as a source of so many problems and the thing that holds us (the 99% that makes up the masses that the 1% could not exist without) back from being truly effective in the world
