00:00:00 The rise of NPCs, why critical thinking is dead.
00:00:03 This is actually perfect to watch.
00:00:05 I haven't seen any of these guys' videos before,
00:00:06 but I'm curious to watch this
00:00:08 after I just did some bot shit for the past, whatever. 0.94
00:00:10 Scrolling non-stop. 1.00
00:00:12 Bro, what the fuck? 1.00
00:00:13 Skin yet again. 1.00
00:00:14 They stabbed him a lot.
00:00:15 He was dying from blood loss. 1.00
00:00:16 What the fuck? 1.00
00:00:19 I don't think it's going to. 1.00
00:00:23 I've gotten a lot better at this.
00:00:25 Might have broke my wrist.
00:00:26 Huh?
00:00:28 Huh?
00:00:28 Huh, sway. 1.00
00:00:30 Come for the shoulders. 1.00
00:00:36 Squat trainer.
00:00:37 This is to help you with your form when performing a squat.
00:00:39 Oh my God!
00:00:42 Oh my God!
00:00:44 I know some people like to put a chair under them.
00:00:46 Bro, you have little kids that watch your videos. 1.00
00:00:49 You play fucking Super Smash Bros. in video games all day, 0.99
00:00:51 and this is what you promote? 1.00
00:00:53 What do you stand for?
00:00:55 What is this?
00:00:56 What is this?
00:00:57 What is this?
00:00:58 Because you're proud of this.
00:01:00 You post, you film this, you bought this, you set this up, it's still on your channel.
00:01:06 What are you, 35 and you do this? 1.00
00:01:09 Sex toys can get you ripped. 1.00
00:01:11 You thought this was like good to do? 0.99
00:01:13 That way they know when they've gone low enough and deep enough for a squat, 0.99
00:01:16 but I think that's some garbage. 1.00
00:01:17 Imagine all the fucking 12-year-old boys who watch your gaming videos all day, 1.00
00:01:21 they see this shit and replicate it. 1.00
00:01:22 Bro, this is just absolutely disgusting. 1.00
00:01:24 This is how you learn how to squat like a real man right here. 0.96
00:01:27 You may have seen some-
00:01:28 What is the joke here?
00:01:29 Who are you making fun of?
00:01:30 You?
00:01:31 Are you-
00:01:32 What?
00:01:32 Something similar and it's always sunny in Philadelphia when there was the dildo that 0.99
00:01:38 popped out of the bicycle.
00:01:39 Wow.
00:01:39 And this doesn't get flagged.
00:01:44 It's very funny that I get in trouble for cyberbullying and I get banned,
00:01:48 but you notice how when it's a soy boy doing actual sexual acts on YouTube, 0.97
00:01:52 you know, straight up penises in his video, nobody gets- 0.99
00:01:56 Do you see the agenda now? 0.99
00:01:59 That I got a nudity strike, you know that?
00:02:01 For doing push-ups.
00:02:03 Susan gave me a nudity strike for doing push-ups. 1.00
00:02:06 None of the soy boys will talk about that.
00:02:07 But wearing exactly what I'm wearing now, the same fit.
00:02:10 This is my streaming fit.
00:02:14 I regret getting the Rona vaccine.
00:02:15 What should I do?
00:02:16 Work out every day.
00:02:18 I don't know, bro.
00:02:18 I'm not a doctor. 0.99
00:02:19 I don't fucking know, man. 0.99
00:02:22 And stop watching these videos. 0.99
00:02:23 If you got the vaccine, you're probably vaccinated to watch this type of content.
00:02:26 This is the matrix.
00:02:29 The fact that this doesn't get flagged. 0.98
00:02:31 Because it's gay. 1.00
00:02:32 They like gay shit. 1.00
00:02:34 They want to promote this. 1.00
00:02:35 Look, a grown-ass man with a bunch of balls in his room. 0.99
00:02:37 Mattress on the floor. 1.00
00:02:39 Penises. 1.00
00:02:40 He's smiling while his friend throws dicks at him. 1.00
00:02:43 That had to hurt a little bit. 0.98
00:02:45 I don't think the bottom one's close enough. 0.99
00:02:52 It's touching my ass cheek. 0.99
00:02:54 Ew, bro. 0.99
00:02:56 Yo, can any of his fans...
00:02:58 Can somebody defend this?
00:03:01 Someone explain it?
00:03:02 Like, what the...
00:03:04 Okay, no more chat.
00:03:06 Okay, all right, all right.
00:03:07 We'll change it.
00:03:07 We'll change it.
00:03:08 We'll change it.
00:03:08 We'll change it.
00:03:10 Did I just lose viewers doing that?
00:03:12 Okay, yeah.
00:03:12 A few.
00:03:13 Sorry.
00:03:13 Sorry.
00:03:14 I apologize.
00:03:17 Just...
00:03:17 That's what they want you to watch on YouTube.
00:03:19 Is that not a perfect...
00:03:20 Is this not a genuinely a perfect example?
00:03:22 You feel someone knocking on the door.
00:03:24 Oh, I ripped the other one off. 0.99
00:03:26 Of two grown men throwing dicks at each other. 0.98
00:03:28 But I get banned when I talk about waking people up. 0.98
00:03:30 And I talk about the brainwashing.
00:03:31 I get banned for COVID.
00:03:32 Medical misinformation.
00:03:34 Why is medical misinformation ban worthy? 0.99
00:03:38 But men throwing penises at each other. 0.99
00:03:41 That's allowed. 0.99
00:03:42 That's encouraged.
00:03:44 Bella Kisses says, 0.99
00:03:45 Love your content so much.
00:03:46 Keep spreading the truth.
00:03:47 Dude, that's a fake profile, bro.
00:03:48 She's trying to catfish me. 0.98
00:03:49 That's the devil. 0.63
00:03:50 Trying to tempt me.
00:03:52 It's funny, though.
00:03:54 It's funny what they promote and what they ban.
00:03:56 Huh?
00:04:00 The rise of NPCs while critical thinking is dead.
00:04:03 And apparently they disfresh and fit in here.
00:04:04 What is happening to critical thinking?
00:04:07 And why does it feel like,
00:04:08 in a time where we can more readily access the truth,
00:04:11 we've only become far more divided?
00:04:14 December 25th, 2003.
00:04:16 It was 6 a.m.
00:04:17 The frost surrounding the outside of my bedroom windows
00:04:19 was nearly melted by my excitement to go downstairs.
00:04:22 I quickly ran to my parents and shook them back and forth while saying,
00:04:26 It's Christmas.
00:04:26 It's Christmas.
00:04:27 But like, in a kid's voice.
00:04:29 As I made my way down the stairs,
00:04:30 I was greeted with exactly what I had envisioned the night before.
00:04:34 Sick story.
00:04:35 A decorated tree surrounded by presents of all different colors and sizes.
00:04:38 In typical fashion, my sister and I took turns opening gifts until I got to my last one.
00:04:43 It was a box with bright red gift wrap and a tag that said,
00:04:47 To Cole from Santa.
00:04:49 When I unwrapped the first quarter of it,
00:04:51 I immediately knew what it was.
00:04:53 The Spider-Man dual action web blaster that I had been wishing for the entire year.
00:04:57 My parents had their old camcorder out and were filming my screams as I stood up and-
00:05:01 It's funny.
00:05:02 This is called why critical thinking is dead.
00:05:04 It's because moist critical thinking is pushed.
00:05:06 They underestimated his skin yet again.
00:05:08 They stabbed him a lot.
00:05:09 He was done.
00:05:09 This is the critical thinking they want you to be doing. 1.00
00:05:13 To keep your ass up, shit like that. 1.00
00:05:15 Ha ha, ass. 1.00
00:05:16 Get it? 1.00
00:05:16 Because butt and dicks. 1.00
00:05:18 It's a very similar concept here. 1.00
00:05:19 When you feel-
00:05:20 This is the moist critical thinking.
00:05:25 And started pacing back and forth.
00:05:27 In that moment, it was everything I could have hoped for.
00:05:31 The worries I had back then, in a time where the internet was basically non-existent
00:05:34 and the culture of America was so vastly different, were little to none.
00:05:38 I trusted in the belief of a man named Santa Claus, and no one could tell me otherwise.
00:05:43 All that I was surrounded with were other kids my age, or parents who were also dedicated
00:05:47 to telling me about the magic of Christmas Day.
00:05:50 Now, the reason I bring up this story is because I think that many adults and teenagers
00:05:53 have gotten back to the state in which I was in as a child.
00:05:57 But instead of that lack of critical thinking coming from their brain not being fully developed
00:06:01 yet and not having the ability to question their authority like me during that time,
00:06:05 it is now because we have a thousand different belief systems that can be easily accessed
00:06:09 at our fingertips, and we are being faced with information overload.
00:06:13 The fighting in Ukraine continues. 0.96
00:06:14 Collectible f***ing sneakers? 0.97
00:06:16 You're not being polite to the pronouns. 0.99
00:06:18 Most modern day women don't offer much value. 1.00
00:06:21 One theme that is commonly brought up amongst people who grew up in the 90s or early 2000s,
00:06:27 whether they were a kid or an adult, is this sense of awe and wonder.
00:06:31 There was space to breathe, and in many different cases, you were the one that had to figure
00:06:35 out the best course of action towards thinking about something or doing something.
00:06:39 In other words, life was more uncalculated, and I think this is massively important towards
00:06:43 developing better critical thinking skills.
00:06:45 Think of how new and exciting everything felt during this time period.
00:06:48 All of these technologies, like the internet, cell phones, and more television networks
00:06:52 were just emerging.
00:06:53 I remember how many TV shows there were that I watched that felt more like an experiment rather
00:06:58 than a show that was trying to do as good as possible.
00:07:00 When's the last time we had a show like Double Dare, where kids had to grab a flag out of
00:07:04 a bunch of goo in a massive nose?
00:07:06 Or Legends of the Hidden Temple, where they had to climb between two walls to put a wig 0.88
00:07:10 on a mannequin's head?
00:07:11 I don't know, it just felt like each new way of presenting or expressing something felt
00:07:15 more inventive, rather than so bound by a preconditioned rule.
00:07:19 And other people's opinions, other than the people that you surrounded yourself with in
00:07:22 real life, were much more scarce, which allowed the individual more of a chance to form
00:07:27 their own opinion.
00:07:28 But ever since the internet became the number one source for all information, we now supposedly
00:07:32 have all the answers.
00:07:34 Want your business to do as good as possible?
00:07:36 Run it exactly like this.
00:07:38 Want to figure out the best diet?
00:07:39 Just eat these things.
00:07:40 You want to be happier?
00:07:41 All you gotta do is this.
00:07:42 Of course, having more answers rather than less is extremely beneficial in many cases,
00:07:46 like diet, exercise, sleep, or how to unclog your sink.
00:07:50 But there has to be some sort of downside to not being able to figure out things on your
00:07:54 own and having that room to wonder.
00:07:56 And that downside, I believe, is a lack of deep, critical thinking that comes only when
00:08:00 one doesn't always have an answer, or think they have an answer to everything.
00:08:04 Now, before you can even conceive an opinion on something, your opinion has already been
00:08:09 decided for you by the internet.
00:08:11 Just like how your parents tell you who Santa Claus is and why he exists as a kid, the internet
00:08:16 is like that parent that tells you their own viewpoint on the world and doesn't give you
00:08:20 any room to question it.
00:08:21 And it seems so counterintuitive because you'd think that now that we have access to all
00:08:24 the information and every single viewpoint we need in order to form an objective opinion,
00:08:30 our ability to form rational, critical thoughts would increase.
00:08:33 But I think for many people, it's been the exact opposite.
00:08:36 Because it's so much easier to get the immediate answer your brain is looking for online, which
00:08:40 in most cases isn't the critically thought out answer, you have more confirmation than
00:08:45 ever that your opinion is the right one.
00:08:47 So you really don't need to use the brainpower required to believe in anything else other
00:08:51 than what's presented in your internet bubble.
00:08:53 But I'll explain that aspect of all this in more detail later.
00:08:56 Is he a soy boy? 0.93
00:08:57 I can't tell yet.
00:08:58 It's like he's a little more... 0.98
00:09:01 You got me wanting to do some wheat waffle shit where I analyze the face, but you know, 0.99
00:09:05 strong jawline and shit and not saying... 0.99
00:09:08 He doesn't have a fruity voice, so... 1.00
00:09:10 But someone's saying he's a vegan.
00:09:11 I also think that because there was much more space for people to think for themselves,
00:09:15 the world also moved much slower in general.
00:09:17 And what's now taken its place is an extremely capitalistic society that thrives on hyper-competition.
00:09:23 Now, competition has always been prevalent since humans have been around.
00:09:26 We are wired to compete...
00:09:27 This is written like an essay that I did in junior...
00:09:30 In junior high about capitalism.
00:09:32 ...heat with each other over resources, relationships, and status in order to survive.
00:09:36 The more animalistic parts of our brain form to ensure we would continue to progress and
00:09:40 reproduce, and that's a good thing.
00:09:42 But sometimes, too much progress too fast can do more harm than good, and I think that's
00:09:47 what we are seeing now.
00:09:48 In a world where you have practically zero time to situate yourself with your job or other
00:09:52 pursuits before the next big thing or trend is announced, one must always be improving
00:09:56 and always innovating.
00:09:58 And what many companies must be doing now just to survive and thrive is be as flashy, clickbaity,
00:10:03 and fast as possible, no matter how objectively true their statements are.
00:10:07 In my video on Gen Z's lack of purpose, I talked about the idea of hyper-reality, which 0.99
00:10:12 essentially means that the online world starts to become indistinguishable from the things
00:10:16 in the real world it's trying to represent.
00:10:18 And the part of hyper-reality that is being brought upon by clickbait and controversy that
00:10:23 is now affecting everyone's critical thinking...
00:10:25 I'm getting therapy vibes from him.
00:10:27 Not all the way soy kind of centrist, like...
00:10:30 But...
00:10:31 Yeah, therapy.
00:10:32 ...skills is the increase in polarization and superlatives.
00:10:36 W. Trump, Tate, and Tucker Carlson.
00:10:38 I want you to take a look at these video clips and see if you can figure out
00:10:42 what they all have in common.
00:10:43 Instead of revealing the laziest way to make money online...
00:10:46 The worst advice you will ever hear in this chair...
00:10:48 How to learn a language as fast as humanly possible...
00:10:51 She's the worst mayor in America... 1.00
00:10:53 What, they're using superlatives? 0.85
00:10:55 Right now.
00:10:56 The most important factor towards building the life you want...
00:10:58 Did you pick up on it?
00:10:59 Well, if you didn't, it's that every single person in these clips used superlatives to
00:11:03 describe what they were talking about.
00:11:05 Wow, look at the big brain on Winiko!
00:11:07 A superlative is an exaggerated or excessive adjective used to describe something.
00:11:13 The absolute worst, the best, the biggest, the smallest, I hate, I love...
00:11:18 All of these words are becoming more and more commonly used to describe things...
00:11:21 Is it actually more common or is it just common ways to try to garner attention when you're
00:11:26 speaking publicly?
00:11:27 ...that aren't actually fit for that type of description.
00:11:30 When things are labeled as the best, worst, fastest, or slowest, it gives people no space
00:11:35 to wonder if there might be some information related to what you're consuming that is
00:11:39 better out there.
00:11:40 In other words, people would much rather click or read something that says,
00:11:43 The worst advice of all time, rather than,
00:11:45 The advice that's pretty bad, because it leaves no room for doubt and skepticism and appeals
00:11:49 to our ego's constant search for certainty.
00:11:52 And yes, I am using one of my videos as an example here to show you that I have to play
00:11:56 this game of polarization in my titles and thumbnails too.
00:12:00 But I do just want to say that everything I present in my videos, once you get past the clickbait
00:12:04 title and thumbnail is nuanced information, and that is the way I will always present
00:12:09 information.
00:12:10 I guarantee you this guy watches Mr. B's podcast.
00:12:12 But for many cases online, people aren't doing this.
00:12:16 Hyper-competitiveness has pushed us to a state in which people are promoting incomplete, sometimes
00:12:20 inaccurate opinions and ideas.
00:12:21 It's funny how his only synopsis so far about NPC thinking is just strictly about YouTube
00:12:27 algorithms.
00:12:28 It's really showing...
00:12:29 Chat makes fun of that sometimes when I have YouTubers on, and you guys will be like,
00:12:31 All YouTubers know how to talk about is YouTube.
00:12:33 This is the perfect example of that.
00:12:35 The rise of NPC thinking and critical thinking is way bigger than just social media algorithms.
00:12:41 It has to do with the level of control and how we're all manipulated by fear.
00:12:44 It has to do with...
00:12:46 COVID was a perfect example of that, how everybody...
00:12:48 Nothing about it made sense, but just like a switch was flipped and everybody believes
00:12:52 in something at the same time.
00:12:54 And it's because of how quickly people use the fear tactics.
00:12:57 It's not just YouTube algorithms.
00:12:59 It's media.
00:13:00 It's what's on the radio.
00:13:01 It's what's on the news.
00:13:02 It's what people are saying.
00:13:03 It's the cancel culture. 0.95
00:13:05 It's the Me Too movement.
00:13:06 It's the whole attitude of the way we speak.
00:13:11 That's why there's no critical thinking.
00:13:12 But maybe I'm judging too quickly.
00:13:14 I'm still interested.
00:13:15 I'm still...
00:13:15 Chat, you skip or...
00:13:17 I'm still interested.
00:13:17 ...is disguised as absolute truth just so they can retain their relevancy.
00:13:21 In other words, misinformation is being spread ever more rapidly just so people can get
00:13:26 the bag.
00:13:27 Now, let me ask you a question.
00:13:28 What's the easiest way to convince someone you are right and worth following?
00:13:32 Well, in my experience, you just need to give them no space to question your stance, speak
00:13:36 with confidence and conviction, and title everything and say everything with those superlatives that
00:13:42 we talked about earlier.
00:13:43 This type of devotion to one person isn't new.
00:13:45 It's been prominent throughout history.
00:13:47 Because life without guidance, meaning, and certainty is extremely anxiety-inducing.
00:13:52 After all, you are spawned into a world you have no previous knowledge on, and you are
00:13:56 supposed to figure out what to do with this unlimited freedom of thought and...
00:13:59 That's why I don't think you should trust anybody who is providing you with the point
00:14:03 of view if they don't actively engage in debates.
00:14:06 ...action you are given.
00:14:07 For most people, the idea of that is too much to bear.
00:14:09 And so naturally, people turn to the leaders, aka the people that seem to have everything
00:14:13 figured out and have all the answers.
00:14:15 Because at least then, they have something to believe in and a direction to strive towards.
00:14:20 But the one person you should be wary of, more than anything, is the person who claims
00:14:24 to have the absolute truth about everything they talk about, and they give you no space
00:14:28 to question them or think for yourself.
00:14:31 Now, I will say, the people with meaning and direction in their lives that were given to
00:14:35 them by a leader do tend to live much happier, healthier lives than those with absolutely
00:14:39 no meaning.
00:14:40 And we need leaders, because at the very least, they give us strength and help to give us
00:14:44 some sense of the world.
00:14:46 But the problem arises when you completely lose your ability to see outside of that bubble
00:14:50 or leader that has given you that certainty, meaning, and direction.
00:14:54 And since almost anyone with an internet connection, some confidence, and a general understanding
00:14:58 of human psychology can amass a following now, there are tons of new different bubbles
00:15:03 with different gurus that all seem to have the supposed right answer to your problems.
00:15:07 And this is where a very dangerous thing starts to happen, which is referred to as
00:15:11 Brandolini's law. 0.59
00:15:13 This law states that the amount of energy required to refute bullshit on the internet 0.85
00:15:16 is an order of magnitude greater than it takes to produce it.
00:15:20 In other words, it takes way more cognitive energy to question the information that you
00:15:24 are presented with online, rather than to just accept it as truth.
00:15:28 And since most people think like a bot, they're just going to take whatever is presented to
00:15:31 them the most as truth, and in turn, that is going to make misinformation spread more
00:15:36 rapidly than ever.
00:15:37 So this is where everything we've been talking about so far starts to pile up.
00:15:41 The internet has created every type of answer you can think of, and the technology behind
00:15:45 it has made progress speed up exponentially.
00:15:47 Because of that speed and extreme obsession with improvement, we are now-
00:15:51 Yeah, this is how I came to my worldview.
00:15:54 I followed the idea, if they censor it, it's true.
00:15:55 Because everybody acts on social media like they have the answer, that's true.
00:15:59 Everybody with a microphone and camera and confidence will be like, this is the answer,
00:16:02 this is the answer.
00:16:02 So if everybody thinks they have the answer, then what would be the right answer?
00:16:05 Well, it must be what they censor.
00:16:08 It must be what they actually try to hide.
00:16:09 Because why would the people who control all these media companies, why would they want you
00:16:14 to know the truth?
00:16:14 They wouldn't.
00:16:14 They want to keep you as a mindless slave so that you're constantly consuming, and you never leave
00:16:18 the platforms, and you're easy to plug in with a bunch of ideas.
00:16:22 So if they censor it, it's true.
00:16:24 And there's a common theme I've noticed with everybody who gets censored.
00:16:27 Alex Jones, Fuentes, Tate, myself, anybody who gets wiped out like that, a lot of them
00:16:35 talk about this, yay, talk about the same ideas.
00:16:41 So I think that's the best, that was the best motto for me.
00:16:44 If you're confused and you're lost and you really want to find the answer, I think if they
00:16:47 censor it, it's true, because that makes perfect sense.
00:16:50 They wouldn't want you to know the truth.
00:16:53 They wouldn't.
00:16:57 Seeing, companies are forced to be ultra-competitive to the point where they have less time to think
00:17:01 about their decisions and instead just keep up with the times.
00:17:04 And because of this, our society has become much less accepting of average.
00:17:08 So the only way most of these companies or any prominent voice on the internet can stand
00:17:12 out and beat the competition is to be as polarizing, flashy, and controversial as possible, even
00:17:17 if nothing they do or say is further greater good or has some objective, rational truth
00:17:22 behind it.
00:17:38 Therefore, echo chambers, or bubbles as I like to call them, have now become the norm.
00:17:44 And what happens when every echo chamber you can think of exists?
00:17:47 Well, it means it's much easier for people to not think critically and simply resort to
00:17:51 confirmation bias, which is our tendency to look for information that validates our already
00:17:56 existing beliefs.
00:17:58 For example, when one gets traumatized by a woman they fall in love with and they start
00:18:01 to think all women are untrustworthy, they may end up going to the internet to see if other 1.00
00:18:06 guys have experienced something similar.
00:18:07 And that, in turn, could lead them down the red pill rabbit hole and have them only consuming 1.00
00:18:11 red pill content that aligns with their biases.
00:18:13 Or if one has always gotten rejected by women, they might turn to the black pill bubble and 0.95
00:18:18 start believing looks and height are the only things that matter when it comes to getting
00:18:22 a girl to like you.
00:18:23 No matter how biased your opinions are, there's sure to be an internet community that is spewing
00:18:27 your already biased beliefs as absolute truths.
00:18:30 Red pill, black pill, purple pill, liberals, conservatives, all of these communities and political groups
00:18:36 can help an NPC or botch with a serious lack of critical thinking skills fall into the trap
00:18:41 of thinking their life experiences that created the biases they have is the only way the world
00:18:46 actually is and that their solutions are the only right solutions.
00:18:50 When the truth is that all of these communities that are clashing with one another, they all
00:18:55 have a certain bit of truth to them and they all spit a certain bit of objective truth.
00:19:00 But not one community itself has the objective right answer to everything.
00:19:05 This problem is only further exacerbated by social media algorithms which will show you things
00:19:09 you have already been searching for, following and watching.
00:19:12 So instead of using the-
00:19:13 No they won't.
00:19:14 They hide anything.
00:19:15 If you put my name on it on TikTok, people send it to me all the time.
00:19:18 Everybody in the creativity kit or just on the stream, they try to clip up my stuff and
00:19:22 put it on TikTok and it'll get banned for hateful ideologies, hate content, cyberbullying,
00:19:29 but they allow this.
00:19:31 This is blue pill content.
00:19:33 This never gets censored.
00:19:35 They don't consider this misinformation. 1.00
00:19:38 Feel the dick tip tickling your butthole. 1.00
00:19:41 That's what is promoted on the platforms. 1.00
00:19:45 So it's don't say that there's a bit of truth in each one and they're all there's an algorithm
00:19:49 for every single they actively try to suppress which group red pill and the idea of red pill
00:19:54 is the truth.
00:19:56 Is it because it's spreading dangerous misinformation or is it waking people up and they don't want
00:20:02 you to be woken up? 1.00
00:20:04 You can go and suck the government's dick all you want. 1.00
00:20:07 You could promote vaccines all you want. 1.00
00:20:09 You can't say on YouTube that the vaccines will give you myocarditis.
00:20:14 You can't say that.
00:20:15 You can't even play died suddenly.
00:20:17 You cannot have anything outside of the matrix purported idea about the vaccines on any of
00:20:23 the mainstream platforms.
00:20:24 Even then, shout out to Elon Musk for keeping that video up on Twitter of people pressing
00:20:31 the Pfizer CEO in Davos right now in Switzerland.
00:20:34 The World Economic Forum, they're all in Davos right now and the Pfizer CEO is right there.
00:20:39 People come up and ask them like, how long have you known?
00:20:41 How long have you known that the vaccines didn't stop transmission?
00:20:44 He just keeps on walking.
00:20:45 Just keeps on walking.
00:20:46 Removed from Facebook, from YouTube, from everything except for Twitter and Rumble.
00:20:50 You can't believe one certain line of thinking.
00:20:55 Why is that?
00:20:56 Internet is a way to broaden their view on the world and be... 0.76

00:21:06 Huh? 0.98
00:21:06 You can't get, you can't talk about God.

00:21:13 You can talk about, Cardi B can talk about drugging and robbing men.
00:21:16 As soon as you say, as soon as Aiden says, you know what, actually, I'm going to be better this year.
00:21:21 I'm going to start doing push-ups.
00:21:22 I'm going to start focusing on bettering my mind.
00:21:24 Banned on Twitch.
00:21:25 I say, it's time to wake up.
00:21:28 We're brainwashed.
00:21:29 Banned off all platforms.
00:21:31 Tate says, I want men to be the best versions of themselves.
00:21:34 It's time for men to take personal responsibility.
00:21:36 Stop believing depression is a lie.
00:21:38 Put in jail. 1.00
00:21:39 This fucking dude, Colt Hastings, you're never going to be put in jail for your ideologies. 1.00
00:21:44 Fucking this dude, you're never going to get put in jail for doing this. 1.00
00:21:49 That's when you know you've gone low enough and deep enough in your squat. 1.00
00:21:52 If you go any lower, it's-
00:21:53 That is promoted.
00:21:57 Why?
00:22:01 Become more open-minded, most people are just picking and choosing the information that best
00:22:07 suits their echo chamber of subjective truths.
00:22:09 And this is why I think everybody seems-
00:22:11 It's not an echo chamber.
00:22:12 I'm on Rumble, bro.
00:22:15 All the bots know who I am on TikTok.
00:22:17 They all know.
00:22:17 You're the guy who yells, that's you, right?
00:22:21 I'm on Rumble.
00:22:22 Bro, most people have no idea what this website even is.
00:22:24 Ain't no echo chamber. 1.00
00:22:25 All this shit gets silenced. 1.00
00:22:27 Twitch, Twitter, TikTok, YouTube. 1.00
00:22:29 Bam! 0.98
00:22:30 Thank you, Elon, for getting me back on Twitter.
00:22:32 Ain't no echo chamber.
00:22:33 I'm supposed to disagree with or hate everyone else now.
00:22:36 Not just because-
00:22:37 I don't hate-
00:22:38 Bro, love speech.
00:22:39 That's part of the red pill.
00:22:40 Doing what Jesus would do.
00:22:41 I love everyone.
00:22:42 Even the soy boys.
00:22:44 Even everybody on the other side. 1.00
00:22:45 Even Moist Critical for fucking this shit. 1.00
00:22:48 Putting this, like, in the face of a bunch of children who look up to him. 1.00
00:22:51 L-Stream. 0.98
00:22:52 It's going straight up and piercing right through your colon. 0.93
00:22:56 Yeah, bro.
00:22:56 This-
00:22:58 I don't hate these people, man.
00:22:59 I wanna-
00:23:00 I believe in love speech.
00:23:02 I believe in loving everybody and not showing animosity.
00:23:05 Like, yes, I can be more stoic and unmatched perspicacity, but that's the best thing to put out there.
00:23:10 It's just love.
00:23:11 I mean, I'll say a prayer for all these people.
00:23:12 I hope that they do better.
00:23:13 I hope that they find the right message to spread to their audience.
00:23:16 I hope they try to uplift people.
00:23:18 And I pray that they will do better.
00:23:20 There's no point in going back and forth and spreading more hate.
00:23:25 Because information controls the minds of the masses.
00:23:28 And especially independent content creators, I think we should take it into our own hands and take personal responsibility and understand that major media is just reporting lies.
00:23:35 In the past few years, you saw that with the-
00:23:37 They all pushed the vaccines.
00:23:38 They said that they don't-
00:23:39 They said that the vaccine stopped transmissions and it started killing people.
00:23:42 So we should take it into our own hands and be better than them.
00:23:45 So I pray that all these people with their giant platforms, Penguin Zero, Moist Critical, should promote critical thinking instead of Moist Critical.
00:23:51 You got 12 million subscribers. 0.99
00:23:52 This is the same shit with the- 1.00
00:23:53 And you're shaking dildos back and forth. 1.00
00:23:55 It's-
00:23:55 But I pray that you'll do better.
00:23:57 Because there are so many different opinions on what is true or not.
00:24:00 But also because it seems like the validity of one's bubble they find themselves trapped in is so much stronger due to how many more people are giving them social confirmation online.
00:24:10 The divide between humans feels stronger than ever.
00:24:12 And it feels like if you have just one different opinion than someone, they will immediately label you as wrong or a bad person.
00:24:20 So now that we have a better understanding of how a lot of people, and maybe you, lack in critical thinking skills, we must now ask this question.
00:24:28 How can each one of us become better critical thinkers and not be so inclined to instantly believe or look for information that confirms our biases?
00:24:37 Well, in order to do so, we first need to understand the two systems of thinking that our brain usually uses that I've been referencing throughout this video.
00:24:46 The two systems of thinking that we typically use are called fast thinking and slow thinking.
00:24:50 And these terms were popularized by the book Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman.
00:24:56 And like Kahneman does in the book, we're going to refer to fast thinking as system one thinking and slow thinking as system two thinking.
00:25:03 Our system one of thinking operates automatically and quickly with little to no effort and no sense of voluntary control.
00:25:10 Examples of this are detecting that one object is farther than another, reading a simple sentence, or driving a car on an empty road.
00:25:16 The system two of thinking allocates attention to the effortful mental activities that demand it.
00:25:22 Examples of system two thinking are focusing your attention on a particular person in a crowd, exercising faster than is normal for you, or as it relates to this video, thinking critically.
00:25:31 If we want to stop letting our biases, triggers, and closed-minded worldviews govern all of our actions, then we must learn how to use our system two thinking more and how to use it properly.
00:25:41 And I say properly because it's very easy to have a lazy system two that doesn't actually do the critical thinking work, especially given our modern information age.
00:25:51 You see, system one automatically generates suggestions, feelings, and intuitions for system two.
00:25:56 And if endorsed by a lazy system two, intuitions end up turning into beliefs, and impulses turn into voluntary actions.
00:26:03 So basically, if you have a very lazy, improper system two, it will accept the faults of system one and not question them and just believe them as fact,
00:26:12 which will then lead to you developing those cognitive biases that we talked about earlier, and most notably, confirmation bias.
00:26:19 So the next time you're watching someone, or you're presented with a question, take a quick pause, and ask yourself,
00:26:25 Am I seeing this without trying to impose my own beliefs and biases on the situation?
00:26:30 Is there more to this than my immediate reaction?
00:26:32 And how can I consider this from a viewpoint different from my own?
00:26:36 Pay attention to how your body and mind is reacting, and how it is simply a process of the ego not being able to come to terms with potentially being wrong.
00:26:44 This usually presents itself as an increased heart rate, an adrenaline rush, racing thoughts, and sweaty palms.
00:26:50 To manage the stress of a decision or piece of content, go for a quick walk before reassessing what has been presented to you.
00:26:57 Take prolonged periods to do simply nothing but stare at a-
00:27:00 What? This is terrible advice.
00:27:04 And as I've said before, and-
00:27:05 Um, alright bro.
00:27:08 I'll keep saying again, meditate.
00:27:10 Mindfulness meditation helps your system too, to not be so lazy, and will help you to be more-
00:27:15 I have found personally that praying to God is better than meditation.
00:27:19 Objective when the time is right.
00:27:21 Now as I always say, there needs to be nuance, even with nuance itself.
00:27:25 If you are always trying to think critically about all your decisions, actions, and thoughts,
00:27:30 then that will lead you to overthink and just do more harm than good.
00:27:33 And if you don't stand for anything, and you let anyone's opinion overtake your current one,
00:27:38 you're simply a human pinball, bouncing around one belief to another,
00:27:41 and you are far more easily taken advantage of and less respected.
00:27:44 Because nobody likes a people pleaser who agrees with everything everyone says.
00:27:49 The reason you want to hone your system too thinking skills isn't so you can be completely agreeable all the time,
00:27:54 it's so you can become more open-minded to the possibility that maybe, just maybe, you're wrong,
00:27:59 and that there's more variables and experiences you need to have in order to form an objective picture.
00:28:06 And it's about being more proactive instead of reactive,
00:28:08 so we can all be open to more conscious, unbiased conversations that fuel progress.
00:28:14 It's funny that him doing the same thing that I did for several years is what led me to the Red Pill place, 0.86
00:28:20 was interviewing bots on the street and hearing them all justify,
00:28:24 like asking questions like, are men and women equal?
00:28:26 Well, bop, boop, yap, yap, boop, bop, bop, bop.
00:28:28 I'm asking, is it okay to be fat?
00:28:30 Bop, boop, bop, bop, bop, bop.
00:28:31 Nope, there's simple answers.
00:28:33 No, it's not okay to be fat.
00:28:34 No, men and women are not equal.
00:28:36 But seeing them try to eat, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop. 1.00
00:28:40 I'm like, oh shit, everyone believes I'm a lie. 0.99
00:28:42 Like, what's up, Sneeko? 0.99
00:28:43 Dode here again asking.
00:28:44 I'm doing my first year in my podcast, watching a live stream,
00:28:45 inspiring me to work myself and spread the truth.
00:28:47 Thanks, my friend.
00:28:48 Thanks, Dode.
00:28:49 Now, there is so much I left out from that book,
00:28:51 Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Common,
00:28:53 and it really is one of the best books to teach you how to become a better Christian.
00:28:57 It's pretty funny.
00:28:58 Like, I read sometimes.
00:29:00 I don't read that much.
00:29:02 I like documentaries more.
00:29:04 And a lot of books, I think, could be summarized.
00:29:06 But it's funny seeing this guy, like, pretty much embody the idea of why Tate says
00:29:11 that reading books is a waste of time.
00:29:13 This guy's solution to critical thinking is sit at the wall and stare at the ceiling
00:29:17 for 10 hours straight.
00:29:19 Go on a walk and do nothing at all.
00:29:21 Meditate, sit still, and accomplish zero to fix.
00:29:25 And then he's talking about thinking fast, thinking fast and slow.
00:29:30 Reading a book and doing nothing is a solution.
00:29:33 It's pretty funny.
00:29:34 Critical thinker.
00:29:35 So if you're looking for a full, detailed summary on that book,
00:29:37 I suggest you use the app Shortform, which is the spot. 0.97
00:29:41 Shut up, bot. 0.93
00:29:43 Makes Shortform stand out above. 1.00
00:29:44 Lee is fast and slow.
00:29:46 The psychology reads for the price.
00:29:47 You five day.
00:29:49 What you see what I'm paying.
00:29:50 Okay, let's move on.
00:29:51 That's it.
00:29:56 It's your job.
