It's the thinking of most people in the world. The only thing is that the people who don't want to benefit everyone else usually don't realize they're benefiting themselves too.

I imagine the returning boomerang was basically made as a kids toy to help them learn how to use the real thing?

@tardvandecluntproductions1278 Not necessarily. Austria and Czechia (especially Czhechia) have fairly high rates of it and comparatively lax laws on it with Shall issue laws and Czechia having a law which mirrors the Second Amendment but predates the USA by 200 years and literally only were disarmed during Fascist and Communist occupation. You're thinking of the Swiss which is that of a military context for the most part. The rest, not so much as they either have very strict laws and very few people at all owning firearms or they're the Austrians and Czechs.

Honestly it sounds like a sequel tbh.

You still get characterization within them in the movie. How they act and the decisions they make. Their attitudes etc. All of that is character building. You're thinking of backstory.

I understand the point of the video, but the title is all kinds of misleading. Jesus didn't outline a very cogent view of how to get to heaven. He had like 2 rules and basically everything else was thought up by the organization around it which grew from his life and worship. Does that mean anyone who doesn't follow the Catholic church isn't a Christian? Catholics probably will say yes. You reading this, probably not. That's basically what defines a Marxist in the modern world Clearly, i do not believe it makes sense to be a Marxist in the current year. He gets it wrong from the get-go with surplus value and he'd know that had he even run a business and had to take in operating costs (Spolier, if the only thing into consideration for the price of a product was work done by the laborers, it could be a lot lower while the business still exists and everyone has a job), and fundamentally the relative theory of value works as a much better economic framework for understanding costs. Marxism is only attractive because it gives power to intellectuals who otherwise don't have it, and the industrialized world makes us feel like like tiny cogs in an unending machine taking away all power from us. With the decline in religion as well, it provides an attractive moral framework in its absence. It's not so much a useful tool but more of a popular trend from people who feel that something is wrong and giving them something to aim their anger at because the world is complicated and we like simple answers.

From a purely rational and selfish point of view there's 0 reason to have kids as it's the ultimate form "not for you" but is necessary for you know.... life and Civilization. Go have kids. Most people aren't prepared for them. You'll make it work. Unless you're going to pass down something that will kill the child, go have kids.

Yo he called out the left too if you watched long enough

24:28 This is incredibly disingenuous and the appeal to the early gun control in the early parts of the video is equally disingenuous. Much of the gun control in the early colonies had to do with limiting groups that we'd now see as protected. On top of this, while you had laws about it being to the militia and early rights, this didn't necessarily transfer to the newly formed states and in fact you had examples such as a letter from the president saying he could arm his ship with canons and many of the restrictions post revolutionary war being ordinance restrictions basically on the grounds of noise complaints. "You can own your Canon but please don't fire it near the city because it's loud" On top of this, you basically lied when you said the reason for the second amendment as it stands was to prevent the government from preventing the states being able to fight back. It was written as is to prevent people from mandatory military service requirements. Not to simply oppose the federal government. On top of this it was created in an environment where most of Europe was disarmed and thus was created basically in opposition to Europe's lack of firearms among the citizenry except in a few key places where it was often a requirement to own it basically because they got invaded so often. This is honestly a pretty disingenuous look at things and you've now gone through half of the video basically praising gun control and bashing on firearms advertisements because guns, but haven't really addressed the cultural predilections toward violence which persists even without guns as the US has a high homicide rate even without firearms. US has a higher knife crime rate than Britain and it's the 3rd most used weapon for the US while the first in Britain. I was hoping to get an actual cultural breakdown but what I'm getting is a fairly half-baked history lesson and a bashing of advertising. At least get the history and context right guys.

@fuaddanial2029 If we're talking about motivations and character... you're correct. It's a bit of a Mguffin chase. The plot pushes the characters forward rather than the other way around. But structurally? Specifically within this movie? Thing is basically solid because it literally goes back and explains it. There's only simple thing it needs... a sequel. Like seriously. And not even like a franchise just one sequel. Because it's only half finished. It's pretty clear that the goal was "an end at the beginning and a beginning at the end" in a lot of ways, and he hasn't done that. He also told us that it's only halfway through. So it needs a sequel. Oh also in terms of the movie's idea with the plot moving the characters forward, it's king of a cop out but within the context of this movie it's kind of what's supposed to happen. It's literally a static timeline that you're following forward and backward in.

Why is there a dog and soldier flashed up on screen?

@jramsey9690 Eh. Yes. Their immediate community. And that's it. And even then, still a fair bit of "me". I'm sorry but you're wrong on that one.

No idiot will ever think they're an idiot. So all you'll find are either people with no self confidence or people who think they're smart.

@MrAndrew535 Not necessarily. And in the event that the comment about using real names applies to me then please understand this was created as a child and I simply don't care to change it as it is unnecessary for YouTube. Now let's acknowledge that no worldview is truly consistent with reality as it'll be inevitably poisoned by the perception created by ones upbringing and even in the face of figures and statistics the way they're done can be manipulated as to not know the true nature of it so even worldviews based on the facts can be distorted. It also depends on the evidence provided and even when proven beyond a reasonable doubt that information the individual knew is false, as emotional creatures humans will still reject them. This is all a point to say that due to humans being emotional creatures influenced by upbringing and genetics above all else, their self perception will be based more around that than any statistics that could be shown to present a picture of the world as it is. Then your tangent about laziness shown by the access to information is also a misconception as people only look up necessary and or desired information. If it's unnecessary and there's no desire to then there's no reason to find that. You attributed that as proof and that people only have incorrect self perceptions due to their own laziness to verify (correct me if I'm wrong) but as I've espoused no amount of self reflection can overcome genetics and upbringing so every view will be distorted. The reason I mentioned confidence is because substantiated or not confident (oftentimes arrogant) people will overestimate themselves and same for underestimation in those who are self deprecating or not confident. Those are the internal factors which are largely based on the individual's environment and genetics which contribute to the level of confidence which will ignore external factors which can be unreliable anyway due to no matter what, our social circles largely agreeing with ideas we have or all agree with the individual in question disagreeing. In summation: no matter what no-one will have that. Say the person you posited did exist then that's the only person who could possibly have a true assessment of themselves.

Still good videos. Keep up the content

Hey Wisecrack!!! Do the philosophy of legion!! The FX superhero show about a psychic schizophrenic if you haven't heard of it. It plays out like a drug trip and gets philosophical at times. So check it out if you haven't and do a video on it!

I saw the death chart and holy shit Brazil is doing even better than we are. Also the US is not that bad in any sense when you compare it by population

It's titled "Deep or dumb"

4:06 The answer is that they don't rotate around each other but instead a shared point of gravitation called a Barycenter that they both orbit around. That center is within the tree

That's untrue because you can only be an idiot if you're dumber than the norm. So in that case he's just saying the masses are dumb.

@SuzanaNature Clearly you're pretty out of touch. First that you think they're are more idiots on the right when they actually have more rational arguments on a lot of issues than the left if you bother to hear them. And you also kind of forget that the metrics decide the norm. But the norm is the average. It's like a bell curve and because of that there's only the same amount of idiots as intelligent individuals. It's a misnomer to say there's more idiots and to think that is arrogant because that's saying that (most likely you) are smarter than the masses because they're all stupid compared to you. You can be average, above, or below in every area. However keep it mind what an average is.

@nevbezaire Explain?

Be careful about your political commentary. And your criticism of the left. You'll be seen as a conservative for calling them out. Warning from a conservative who doesn't want you misrepresented.

This has been interesting. Thank you.

Unrelated as he never said they were left

@LRM12o8 I can certainly cede that. And that's due to the history of the USA being very much not solidaric(?) as it was very individual centered. The slogan was always not "Become one of us" but instead "Make it yourself. Your life is yours"

This is all really cool.... in terms of the technology, logistics and planning that's all carried out. Also costing you your freedom though and that's why we visit and don't live there

29:39 I wonder what major event happened between 2019 and 2020 which sent everything into overdrive? Hmmm. I've absolutely 0 clue.

31:22 Yeah the data doesn't support that. At all. And most major media scandals on it end up coming out with the man being armed. So that's actually a lie. I understand that all videos are self-contained narratives where you tend to push aside things which don't really support your argument, but this didn't need to be in the video, this isn't even relevant to the point, but you brought it up anyway and it's wrong. I think you need a new research and writers room. Or to stick to the script. I was going to respond to the point about the defensive uses of a firearm (the absolute lowest actually slightly above 60 thousand which is still notably higher than all deaths), but this is much more important. This is silly, this is propaganda pushing, and it's disrespectful to your audience.

I'll be honest I completely understood this movie and my brain is usually off for my entertainment. I think it's fairly obvious the point of this film: make a movie in reverse and behind. However I think there's a certain way to watch this movie: and it's to see how everything plays out from the first go-around. If your entrainment of a piece of work comes from characters and attachment to them... look elsewhere. Literally all Hint of drama is taken out as soon as they learn that the antagonist goes back through time. If he's back in time and also supposed to be the end of the world it's pretty obvious they won. In terms of stakes it never really had any but you can also argue that for nearly any movie because the protagonist always wins. You're here for this movie because you had a few too many chats with the coffee and are excited to see it in practice. It also has the enjoyment of like a mystery movie in terms of re-watch value: that you watch it again and see what you missed. Strictly in re-watch value though. The action scenes are poorly written and so is plenty of the dialogue but it's an airtight movie which is VERY fun to watch again.
