00:00:00.000 The rise of NPCs, why critical thinking is dead.
00:00:03.000 This is actually perfect to watch.
00:00:05.020 I haven't seen any of these guys' videos before,
00:00:06.760 but I'm curious to watch this
00:00:08.040 after I just did some bot shit for the past, whatever. 0.94
00:00:10.960 Scrolling non-stop. 1.00
00:00:12.240 Bro, what the fuck? 1.00
00:00:13.440 Skin yet again. 1.00
00:00:14.180 They stabbed him a lot.
00:00:15.080 He was dying from blood loss. 1.00
00:00:16.520 What the fuck? 1.00
00:00:19.660 I don't think it's going to. 1.00
00:00:23.960 I've gotten a lot better at this.
00:00:25.620 Might have broke my wrist.
00:00:26.680 Huh?
00:00:28.000 Huh?
00:00:28.360 Huh, sway. 1.00
00:00:30.880 Come for the shoulders. 1.00
00:00:36.100 Squat trainer.
00:00:37.140 This is to help you with your form when performing a squat.
00:00:39.900 Oh my God!
00:00:42.400 Oh my God!
00:00:44.540 I know some people like to put a chair under them.
00:00:46.640 Bro, you have little kids that watch your videos. 1.00
00:00:49.060 You play fucking Super Smash Bros. in video games all day, 0.99
00:00:51.940 and this is what you promote? 1.00
00:00:53.740 What do you stand for?
00:00:55.600 What is this?
00:00:56.360 What is this?
00:00:57.220 What is this?
00:00:58.820 Because you're proud of this.
00:01:00.220 You post, you film this, you bought this, you set this up, it's still on your channel.
00:01:06.700 What are you, 35 and you do this? 1.00
00:01:09.780 Sex toys can get you ripped. 1.00
00:01:11.180 You thought this was like good to do? 0.99
00:01:13.740 That way they know when they've gone low enough and deep enough for a squat, 0.99
00:01:16.600 but I think that's some garbage. 1.00
00:01:17.580 Imagine all the fucking 12-year-old boys who watch your gaming videos all day, 1.00
00:01:21.020 they see this shit and replicate it. 1.00
00:01:22.420 Bro, this is just absolutely disgusting. 1.00
00:01:24.680 This is how you learn how to squat like a real man right here. 0.96
00:01:27.680 You may have seen some-
00:01:28.180 What is the joke here?
00:01:29.720 Who are you making fun of?
00:01:30.860 You?
00:01:31.780 Are you-
00:01:32.300 What?
00:01:32.420 Something similar and it's always sunny in Philadelphia when there was the dildo that 0.99
00:01:38.020 popped out of the bicycle.
00:01:39.680 Wow.
00:01:39.880 And this doesn't get flagged.
00:01:44.340 It's very funny that I get in trouble for cyberbullying and I get banned,
00:01:48.840 but you notice how when it's a soy boy doing actual sexual acts on YouTube, 0.97
00:01:52.780 you know, straight up penises in his video, nobody gets- 0.99
00:01:56.480 Do you see the agenda now? 0.99
00:01:59.520 That I got a nudity strike, you know that?
00:02:01.920 For doing push-ups.
00:02:03.460 Susan gave me a nudity strike for doing push-ups. 1.00
00:02:06.040 None of the soy boys will talk about that.
00:02:07.700 But wearing exactly what I'm wearing now, the same fit.
00:02:10.780 This is my streaming fit.
00:02:14.280 I regret getting the Rona vaccine.
00:02:15.900 What should I do?
00:02:16.600 Work out every day.
00:02:18.140 I don't know, bro.
00:02:18.720 I'm not a doctor. 0.99
00:02:19.860 I don't fucking know, man. 0.99
00:02:22.040 And stop watching these videos. 0.99
00:02:23.480 If you got the vaccine, you're probably vaccinated to watch this type of content.
00:02:26.940 This is the matrix.
00:02:29.040 The fact that this doesn't get flagged. 0.98
00:02:31.400 Because it's gay. 1.00
00:02:32.820 They like gay shit. 1.00
00:02:34.140 They want to promote this. 1.00
00:02:35.040 Look, a grown-ass man with a bunch of balls in his room. 0.99
00:02:37.700 Mattress on the floor. 1.00
00:02:39.380 Penises. 1.00
00:02:40.660 He's smiling while his friend throws dicks at him. 1.00
00:02:43.960 That had to hurt a little bit. 0.98
00:02:45.020 I don't think the bottom one's close enough. 0.99
00:02:52.100 It's touching my ass cheek. 0.99
00:02:54.340 Ew, bro. 0.99
00:02:56.000 Yo, can any of his fans...
00:02:58.640 Can somebody defend this?
00:03:01.140 Someone explain it?
00:03:02.180 Like, what the...
00:03:04.900 Okay, no more chat.
00:03:06.680 Okay, all right, all right.
00:03:07.400 We'll change it.
00:03:07.720 We'll change it.
00:03:08.040 We'll change it.
00:03:08.400 We'll change it.
00:03:10.500 Did I just lose viewers doing that?
00:03:12.120 Okay, yeah.
00:03:12.940 A few.
00:03:13.480 Sorry.
00:03:13.980 Sorry.
00:03:14.320 I apologize.
00:03:17.080 Just...
00:03:17.640 That's what they want you to watch on YouTube.
00:03:19.660 Is that not a perfect...
00:03:20.600 Is this not a genuinely a perfect example?
00:03:22.940 You feel someone knocking on the door.
00:03:24.320 Oh, I ripped the other one off. 0.99
00:03:26.180 Of two grown men throwing dicks at each other. 0.98
00:03:28.260 But I get banned when I talk about waking people up. 0.98
00:03:30.560 And I talk about the brainwashing.
00:03:31.760 I get banned for COVID.
00:03:32.960 Medical misinformation.
00:03:34.360 Why is medical misinformation ban worthy? 0.99
00:03:38.440 But men throwing penises at each other. 0.99
00:03:41.520 That's allowed. 0.99
00:03:42.320 That's encouraged.
00:03:44.660 Bella Kisses says, 0.99
00:03:45.480 Love your content so much.
00:03:46.260 Keep spreading the truth.
00:03:47.720 Dude, that's a fake profile, bro.
00:03:48.760 She's trying to catfish me. 0.98
00:03:49.960 That's the devil. 0.63
00:03:50.800 Trying to tempt me.
00:03:52.980 It's funny, though.
00:03:54.320 It's funny what they promote and what they ban.
00:03:56.680 Huh?
00:04:00.760 The rise of NPCs while critical thinking is dead.
00:04:03.140 And apparently they disfresh and fit in here.
00:04:04.660 What is happening to critical thinking?
00:04:07.160 And why does it feel like,
00:04:08.480 in a time where we can more readily access the truth,
00:04:11.380 we've only become far more divided?
00:04:14.020 December 25th, 2003.
00:04:16.420 It was 6 a.m.
00:04:17.340 The frost surrounding the outside of my bedroom windows
00:04:19.620 was nearly melted by my excitement to go downstairs.
00:04:22.160 I quickly ran to my parents and shook them back and forth while saying,
00:04:26.080 It's Christmas.
00:04:26.880 It's Christmas.
00:04:27.700 But like, in a kid's voice.
00:04:29.440 As I made my way down the stairs,
00:04:30.980 I was greeted with exactly what I had envisioned the night before.
00:04:34.180 Sick story.
00:04:35.100 A decorated tree surrounded by presents of all different colors and sizes.
00:04:38.960 In typical fashion, my sister and I took turns opening gifts until I got to my last one.
00:04:43.740 It was a box with bright red gift wrap and a tag that said,
00:04:47.560 To Cole from Santa.
00:04:49.720 When I unwrapped the first quarter of it,
00:04:51.600 I immediately knew what it was.
00:04:53.300 The Spider-Man dual action web blaster that I had been wishing for the entire year.
00:04:57.440 My parents had their old camcorder out and were filming my screams as I stood up and-
00:05:01.660 It's funny.
00:05:02.080 This is called why critical thinking is dead.
00:05:04.260 It's because moist critical thinking is pushed.
00:05:06.600 They underestimated his skin yet again.
00:05:08.460 They stabbed him a lot.
00:05:09.380 He was done.
00:05:09.740 This is the critical thinking they want you to be doing. 1.00
00:05:13.840 To keep your ass up, shit like that. 1.00
00:05:15.360 Ha ha, ass. 1.00
00:05:16.200 Get it? 1.00
00:05:16.600 Because butt and dicks. 1.00
00:05:18.200 It's a very similar concept here. 1.00
00:05:19.880 When you feel-
00:05:20.540 This is the moist critical thinking.
00:05:25.220 And started pacing back and forth.
00:05:27.480 In that moment, it was everything I could have hoped for.
00:05:31.200 The worries I had back then, in a time where the internet was basically non-existent
00:05:34.920 and the culture of America was so vastly different, were little to none.
00:05:38.780 I trusted in the belief of a man named Santa Claus, and no one could tell me otherwise.
00:05:43.260 All that I was surrounded with were other kids my age, or parents who were also dedicated
00:05:47.520 to telling me about the magic of Christmas Day.
00:05:50.100 Now, the reason I bring up this story is because I think that many adults and teenagers
00:05:53.900 have gotten back to the state in which I was in as a child.
00:05:57.400 But instead of that lack of critical thinking coming from their brain not being fully developed
00:06:01.280 yet and not having the ability to question their authority like me during that time,
00:06:05.180 it is now because we have a thousand different belief systems that can be easily accessed
00:06:09.200 at our fingertips, and we are being faced with information overload.
00:06:13.120 The fighting in Ukraine continues. 0.96
00:06:14.820 Collectible f***ing sneakers? 0.97
00:06:16.620 You're not being polite to the pronouns. 0.99
00:06:18.220 Most modern day women don't offer much value. 1.00
00:06:21.660 One theme that is commonly brought up amongst people who grew up in the 90s or early 2000s,
00:06:27.540 whether they were a kid or an adult, is this sense of awe and wonder.
00:06:31.280 There was space to breathe, and in many different cases, you were the one that had to figure
00:06:35.440 out the best course of action towards thinking about something or doing something.
00:06:39.160 In other words, life was more uncalculated, and I think this is massively important towards
00:06:43.400 developing better critical thinking skills.
00:06:45.560 Think of how new and exciting everything felt during this time period.
00:06:48.800 All of these technologies, like the internet, cell phones, and more television networks
00:06:52.420 were just emerging.
00:06:53.380 I remember how many TV shows there were that I watched that felt more like an experiment rather
00:06:58.040 than a show that was trying to do as good as possible.
00:07:00.860 When's the last time we had a show like Double Dare, where kids had to grab a flag out of
00:07:04.840 a bunch of goo in a massive nose?
00:07:06.960 Or Legends of the Hidden Temple, where they had to climb between two walls to put a wig 0.88
00:07:10.780 on a mannequin's head?
00:07:11.980 I don't know, it just felt like each new way of presenting or expressing something felt
00:07:15.480 more inventive, rather than so bound by a preconditioned rule.
00:07:19.180 And other people's opinions, other than the people that you surrounded yourself with in
00:07:22.580 real life, were much more scarce, which allowed the individual more of a chance to form
00:07:27.340 their own opinion.
00:07:28.300 But ever since the internet became the number one source for all information, we now supposedly
00:07:32.980 have all the answers.
00:07:34.760 Want your business to do as good as possible?
00:07:36.560 Run it exactly like this.
00:07:38.080 Want to figure out the best diet?
00:07:39.320 Just eat these things.
00:07:40.460 You want to be happier?
00:07:41.420 All you gotta do is this.
00:07:42.780 Of course, having more answers rather than less is extremely beneficial in many cases,
00:07:46.980 like diet, exercise, sleep, or how to unclog your sink.
00:07:50.340 But there has to be some sort of downside to not being able to figure out things on your
00:07:54.200 own and having that room to wonder.
00:07:56.460 And that downside, I believe, is a lack of deep, critical thinking that comes only when
00:08:00.660 one doesn't always have an answer, or think they have an answer to everything.
00:08:04.600 Now, before you can even conceive an opinion on something, your opinion has already been
00:08:09.220 decided for you by the internet.
00:08:11.120 Just like how your parents tell you who Santa Claus is and why he exists as a kid, the internet
00:08:16.100 is like that parent that tells you their own viewpoint on the world and doesn't give you
00:08:20.160 any room to question it.
00:08:21.420 And it seems so counterintuitive because you'd think that now that we have access to all
00:08:24.940 the information and every single viewpoint we need in order to form an objective opinion,
00:08:30.040 our ability to form rational, critical thoughts would increase.
00:08:33.840 But I think for many people, it's been the exact opposite.
00:08:36.380 Because it's so much easier to get the immediate answer your brain is looking for online, which
00:08:40.740 in most cases isn't the critically thought out answer, you have more confirmation than
00:08:45.100 ever that your opinion is the right one.
00:08:47.460 So you really don't need to use the brainpower required to believe in anything else other
00:08:51.300 than what's presented in your internet bubble.
00:08:53.740 But I'll explain that aspect of all this in more detail later.
00:08:56.920 Is he a soy boy? 0.93
00:08:57.780 I can't tell yet.
00:08:58.840 It's like he's a little more... 0.98
00:09:01.880 You got me wanting to do some wheat waffle shit where I analyze the face, but you know, 0.99
00:09:05.660 strong jawline and shit and not saying... 0.99
00:09:08.300 He doesn't have a fruity voice, so... 1.00
00:09:10.320 But someone's saying he's a vegan.
00:09:11.320 I also think that because there was much more space for people to think for themselves,
00:09:15.100 the world also moved much slower in general.
00:09:17.460 And what's now taken its place is an extremely capitalistic society that thrives on hyper-competition.
00:09:23.140 Now, competition has always been prevalent since humans have been around.
00:09:26.620 We are wired to compete...
00:09:27.600 This is written like an essay that I did in junior...
00:09:30.240 In junior high about capitalism.
00:09:32.040 ...heat with each other over resources, relationships, and status in order to survive.
00:09:36.120 The more animalistic parts of our brain form to ensure we would continue to progress and
00:09:40.380 reproduce, and that's a good thing.
00:09:42.320 But sometimes, too much progress too fast can do more harm than good, and I think that's
00:09:47.200 what we are seeing now.
00:09:48.240 In a world where you have practically zero time to situate yourself with your job or other
00:09:52.420 pursuits before the next big thing or trend is announced, one must always be improving
00:09:56.900 and always innovating.
00:09:58.340 And what many companies must be doing now just to survive and thrive is be as flashy, clickbaity,
00:10:03.860 and fast as possible, no matter how objectively true their statements are.
00:10:07.780 In my video on Gen Z's lack of purpose, I talked about the idea of hyper-reality, which 0.99
00:10:12.260 essentially means that the online world starts to become indistinguishable from the things
00:10:16.460 in the real world it's trying to represent.
00:10:18.800 And the part of hyper-reality that is being brought upon by clickbait and controversy that
00:10:23.540 is now affecting everyone's critical thinking...
00:10:25.700 I'm getting therapy vibes from him.
00:10:27.420 Not all the way soy kind of centrist, like...
00:10:30.980 But...
00:10:31.700 Yeah, therapy.
00:10:32.580 ...skills is the increase in polarization and superlatives.
00:10:36.760 W. Trump, Tate, and Tucker Carlson.
00:10:38.720 I want you to take a look at these video clips and see if you can figure out
00:10:42.240 what they all have in common.
00:10:43.560 Instead of revealing the laziest way to make money online...
00:10:46.160 The worst advice you will ever hear in this chair...
00:10:48.920 How to learn a language as fast as humanly possible...
00:10:51.720 She's the worst mayor in America... 1.00
00:10:53.600 What, they're using superlatives? 0.85
00:10:55.420 Right now.
00:10:56.100 The most important factor towards building the life you want...
00:10:58.760 Did you pick up on it?
00:10:59.820 Well, if you didn't, it's that every single person in these clips used superlatives to
00:11:03.980 describe what they were talking about.
00:11:05.520 Wow, look at the big brain on Winiko!
00:11:07.820 A superlative is an exaggerated or excessive adjective used to describe something.
00:11:13.200 The absolute worst, the best, the biggest, the smallest, I hate, I love...
00:11:18.200 All of these words are becoming more and more commonly used to describe things...
00:11:21.440 Is it actually more common or is it just common ways to try to garner attention when you're
00:11:26.880 speaking publicly?
00:11:27.360 ...that aren't actually fit for that type of description.
00:11:30.040 When things are labeled as the best, worst, fastest, or slowest, it gives people no space
00:11:35.300 to wonder if there might be some information related to what you're consuming that is
00:11:39.160 better out there.
00:11:40.040 In other words, people would much rather click or read something that says,
00:11:43.360 The worst advice of all time, rather than,
00:11:45.560 The advice that's pretty bad, because it leaves no room for doubt and skepticism and appeals
00:11:49.880 to our ego's constant search for certainty.
00:11:52.320 And yes, I am using one of my videos as an example here to show you that I have to play
00:11:56.580 this game of polarization in my titles and thumbnails too.
00:12:00.340 But I do just want to say that everything I present in my videos, once you get past the clickbait
00:12:04.620 title and thumbnail is nuanced information, and that is the way I will always present
00:12:09.440 information.
00:12:10.080 I guarantee you this guy watches Mr. B's podcast.
00:12:12.720 But for many cases online, people aren't doing this.
00:12:16.080 Hyper-competitiveness has pushed us to a state in which people are promoting incomplete, sometimes
00:12:20.400 inaccurate opinions and ideas.
00:12:21.980 It's funny how his only synopsis so far about NPC thinking is just strictly about YouTube
00:12:27.380 algorithms.
00:12:28.060 It's really showing...
00:12:29.080 Chat makes fun of that sometimes when I have YouTubers on, and you guys will be like,
00:12:31.940 All YouTubers know how to talk about is YouTube.
00:12:33.560 This is the perfect example of that.
00:12:35.820 The rise of NPC thinking and critical thinking is way bigger than just social media algorithms.
00:12:41.400 It has to do with the level of control and how we're all manipulated by fear.
00:12:44.680 It has to do with...
00:12:46.700 COVID was a perfect example of that, how everybody...
00:12:48.840 Nothing about it made sense, but just like a switch was flipped and everybody believes
00:12:52.760 in something at the same time.
00:12:54.140 And it's because of how quickly people use the fear tactics.
00:12:57.240 It's not just YouTube algorithms.
00:12:59.240 It's media.
00:13:00.120 It's what's on the radio.
00:13:01.340 It's what's on the news.
00:13:02.180 It's what people are saying.
00:13:03.140 It's the cancel culture. 0.95
00:13:05.400 It's the Me Too movement.
00:13:06.620 It's the whole attitude of the way we speak.
00:13:11.000 That's why there's no critical thinking.
00:13:12.880 But maybe I'm judging too quickly.
00:13:14.780 I'm still interested.
00:13:15.680 I'm still...
00:13:15.980 Chat, you skip or...
00:13:17.400 I'm still interested.
00:13:17.840 ...is disguised as absolute truth just so they can retain their relevancy.
00:13:21.920 In other words, misinformation is being spread ever more rapidly just so people can get
00:13:26.440 the bag.
00:13:27.080 Now, let me ask you a question.
00:13:28.400 What's the easiest way to convince someone you are right and worth following?
00:13:32.580 Well, in my experience, you just need to give them no space to question your stance, speak
00:13:36.900 with confidence and conviction, and title everything and say everything with those superlatives that
00:13:42.160 we talked about earlier.
00:13:43.360 This type of devotion to one person isn't new.
00:13:45.960 It's been prominent throughout history.
00:13:47.540 Because life without guidance, meaning, and certainty is extremely anxiety-inducing.
00:13:52.240 After all, you are spawned into a world you have no previous knowledge on, and you are
00:13:56.140 supposed to figure out what to do with this unlimited freedom of thought and...
00:13:59.240 That's why I don't think you should trust anybody who is providing you with the point
00:14:03.320 of view if they don't actively engage in debates.
00:14:06.080 ...action you are given.
00:14:07.100 For most people, the idea of that is too much to bear.
00:14:09.820 And so naturally, people turn to the leaders, aka the people that seem to have everything
00:14:13.740 figured out and have all the answers.
00:14:15.500 Because at least then, they have something to believe in and a direction to strive towards.
00:14:20.080 But the one person you should be wary of, more than anything, is the person who claims
00:14:24.200 to have the absolute truth about everything they talk about, and they give you no space
00:14:28.820 to question them or think for yourself.
00:14:31.280 Now, I will say, the people with meaning and direction in their lives that were given to
00:14:35.220 them by a leader do tend to live much happier, healthier lives than those with absolutely
00:14:39.940 no meaning.
00:14:40.980 And we need leaders, because at the very least, they give us strength and help to give us
00:14:44.460 some sense of the world.
00:14:46.420 But the problem arises when you completely lose your ability to see outside of that bubble
00:14:50.820 or leader that has given you that certainty, meaning, and direction.
00:14:54.520 And since almost anyone with an internet connection, some confidence, and a general understanding
00:14:58.660 of human psychology can amass a following now, there are tons of new different bubbles
00:15:03.020 with different gurus that all seem to have the supposed right answer to your problems.
00:15:07.720 And this is where a very dangerous thing starts to happen, which is referred to as
00:15:11.780 Brandolini's law. 0.59
00:15:13.060 This law states that the amount of energy required to refute bullshit on the internet 0.85
00:15:16.780 is an order of magnitude greater than it takes to produce it.
00:15:20.060 In other words, it takes way more cognitive energy to question the information that you
00:15:24.220 are presented with online, rather than to just accept it as truth.
00:15:28.080 And since most people think like a bot, they're just going to take whatever is presented to
00:15:31.760 them the most as truth, and in turn, that is going to make misinformation spread more
00:15:36.580 rapidly than ever.
00:15:37.580 So this is where everything we've been talking about so far starts to pile up.
00:15:41.680 The internet has created every type of answer you can think of, and the technology behind
00:15:45.560 it has made progress speed up exponentially.
00:15:47.940 Because of that speed and extreme obsession with improvement, we are now-
00:15:51.040 Yeah, this is how I came to my worldview.
00:15:54.080 I followed the idea, if they censor it, it's true.
00:15:55.980 Because everybody acts on social media like they have the answer, that's true.
00:15:59.100 Everybody with a microphone and camera and confidence will be like, this is the answer,
00:16:02.040 this is the answer.
00:16:02.860 So if everybody thinks they have the answer, then what would be the right answer?
00:16:05.980 Well, it must be what they censor.
00:16:08.240 It must be what they actually try to hide.
00:16:09.820 Because why would the people who control all these media companies, why would they want you
00:16:14.020 to know the truth?
00:16:14.520 They wouldn't.
00:16:14.940 They want to keep you as a mindless slave so that you're constantly consuming, and you never leave
00:16:18.640 the platforms, and you're easy to plug in with a bunch of ideas.
00:16:22.460 So if they censor it, it's true.
00:16:24.200 And there's a common theme I've noticed with everybody who gets censored.
00:16:27.160 Alex Jones, Fuentes, Tate, myself, anybody who gets wiped out like that, a lot of them
00:16:35.060 talk about this, yay, talk about the same ideas.
00:16:41.060 So I think that's the best, that was the best motto for me.
00:16:44.280 If you're confused and you're lost and you really want to find the answer, I think if they
00:16:47.300 censor it, it's true, because that makes perfect sense.
00:16:50.580 They wouldn't want you to know the truth.
00:16:53.060 They wouldn't.
00:16:57.120 Seeing, companies are forced to be ultra-competitive to the point where they have less time to think
00:17:01.600 about their decisions and instead just keep up with the times.
00:17:04.620 And because of this, our society has become much less accepting of average.
00:17:08.700 So the only way most of these companies or any prominent voice on the internet can stand
00:17:12.740 out and beat the competition is to be as polarizing, flashy, and controversial as possible, even
00:17:17.940 if nothing they do or say is further greater good or has some objective, rational truth
00:17:22.360 behind it.
00:17:38.640 Therefore, echo chambers, or bubbles as I like to call them, have now become the norm.
00:17:44.360 And what happens when every echo chamber you can think of exists?
00:17:47.820 Well, it means it's much easier for people to not think critically and simply resort to
00:17:51.900 confirmation bias, which is our tendency to look for information that validates our already
00:17:56.720 existing beliefs.
00:17:58.080 For example, when one gets traumatized by a woman they fall in love with and they start
00:18:01.840 to think all women are untrustworthy, they may end up going to the internet to see if other 1.00
00:18:06.060 guys have experienced something similar.
00:18:07.780 And that, in turn, could lead them down the red pill rabbit hole and have them only consuming 1.00
00:18:11.780 red pill content that aligns with their biases.
00:18:13.980 Or if one has always gotten rejected by women, they might turn to the black pill bubble and 0.95
00:18:18.420 start believing looks and height are the only things that matter when it comes to getting
00:18:22.580 a girl to like you.
00:18:23.600 No matter how biased your opinions are, there's sure to be an internet community that is spewing
00:18:27.740 your already biased beliefs as absolute truths.
00:18:30.900 Red pill, black pill, purple pill, liberals, conservatives, all of these communities and political groups
00:18:36.160 can help an NPC or botch with a serious lack of critical thinking skills fall into the trap
00:18:41.220 of thinking their life experiences that created the biases they have is the only way the world
00:18:46.540 actually is and that their solutions are the only right solutions.
00:18:50.900 When the truth is that all of these communities that are clashing with one another, they all
00:18:55.500 have a certain bit of truth to them and they all spit a certain bit of objective truth.
00:19:00.820 But not one community itself has the objective right answer to everything.
00:19:05.120 This problem is only further exacerbated by social media algorithms which will show you things
00:19:09.860 you have already been searching for, following and watching.
00:19:12.660 So instead of using the-
00:19:13.480 No they won't.
00:19:14.240 They hide anything.
00:19:15.180 If you put my name on it on TikTok, people send it to me all the time.
00:19:18.420 Everybody in the creativity kit or just on the stream, they try to clip up my stuff and
00:19:22.560 put it on TikTok and it'll get banned for hateful ideologies, hate content, cyberbullying,
00:19:29.280 but they allow this.
00:19:31.940 This is blue pill content.
00:19:33.160 This never gets censored.
00:19:35.960 They don't consider this misinformation. 1.00
00:19:38.280 Feel the dick tip tickling your butthole. 1.00
00:19:41.720 That's what is promoted on the platforms. 1.00
00:19:45.320 So it's don't say that there's a bit of truth in each one and they're all there's an algorithm
00:19:49.160 for every single they actively try to suppress which group red pill and the idea of red pill
00:19:54.960 is the truth.
00:19:56.040 Is it because it's spreading dangerous misinformation or is it waking people up and they don't want
00:20:02.060 you to be woken up? 1.00
00:20:04.200 You can go and suck the government's dick all you want. 1.00
00:20:07.120 You could promote vaccines all you want. 1.00
00:20:09.440 You can't say on YouTube that the vaccines will give you myocarditis.
00:20:14.780 You can't say that.
00:20:15.960 You can't even play died suddenly.
00:20:17.960 You cannot have anything outside of the matrix purported idea about the vaccines on any of
00:20:23.340 the mainstream platforms.
00:20:24.200 Even then, shout out to Elon Musk for keeping that video up on Twitter of people pressing
00:20:31.180 the Pfizer CEO in Davos right now in Switzerland.
00:20:34.700 The World Economic Forum, they're all in Davos right now and the Pfizer CEO is right there.
00:20:39.060 People come up and ask them like, how long have you known?
00:20:41.400 How long have you known that the vaccines didn't stop transmission?
00:20:44.880 He just keeps on walking.
00:20:45.700 Just keeps on walking.
00:20:46.520 Removed from Facebook, from YouTube, from everything except for Twitter and Rumble.
00:20:50.160 You can't believe one certain line of thinking.
00:20:55.460 Why is that?
00:20:56.060 Internet is a way to broaden their view on the world and be... 0.76
00:21:00.880 But I can talk about crap, that, that, but if I talk about God, my record won't get played. 0.80
00:21:06.520 Huh? 0.98
00:21:06.780 You can't get, you can't talk about God.
00:21:09.800 You can talk about murder all you want.
00:21:11.320 You can talk about twerking on She-Hulk all you want. 0.98
00:21:13.940 You can talk about, Cardi B can talk about drugging and robbing men.
00:21:16.860 As soon as you say, as soon as Aiden says, you know what, actually, I'm going to be better this year.
00:21:21.580 I'm going to start doing push-ups.
00:21:22.800 I'm going to start focusing on bettering my mind.
00:21:24.680 Banned on Twitch.
00:21:25.280 I say, it's time to wake up.
00:21:28.920 We're brainwashed.
00:21:29.960 Banned off all platforms.
00:21:31.220 Tate says, I want men to be the best versions of themselves.
00:21:34.000 It's time for men to take personal responsibility.
00:21:36.520 Stop believing depression is a lie.
00:21:38.220 Put in jail. 1.00
00:21:39.520 This fucking dude, Colt Hastings, you're never going to be put in jail for your ideologies. 1.00
00:21:44.940 Fucking this dude, you're never going to get put in jail for doing this. 1.00
00:21:49.420 That's when you know you've gone low enough and deep enough in your squat. 1.00
00:21:52.120 If you go any lower, it's-
00:21:53.760 That is promoted.
00:21:57.820 Why?
00:22:01.920 Become more open-minded, most people are just picking and choosing the information that best
00:22:07.020 suits their echo chamber of subjective truths.
00:22:09.920 And this is why I think everybody seems-
00:22:11.440 It's not an echo chamber.
00:22:12.940 I'm on Rumble, bro.
00:22:15.040 All the bots know who I am on TikTok.
00:22:17.040 They all know.
00:22:17.760 You're the guy who yells, that's you, right?
00:22:21.260 I'm on Rumble.
00:22:22.020 Bro, most people have no idea what this website even is.
00:22:24.660 Ain't no echo chamber. 1.00
00:22:25.800 All this shit gets silenced. 1.00
00:22:27.480 Twitch, Twitter, TikTok, YouTube. 1.00
00:22:29.720 Bam! 0.98
00:22:30.140 Thank you, Elon, for getting me back on Twitter.
00:22:32.020 Ain't no echo chamber.
00:22:33.420 I'm supposed to disagree with or hate everyone else now.
00:22:36.540 Not just because-
00:22:37.440 I don't hate-
00:22:38.000 Bro, love speech.
00:22:39.280 That's part of the red pill.
00:22:40.540 Doing what Jesus would do.
00:22:41.760 I love everyone.
00:22:42.960 Even the soy boys.
00:22:44.040 Even everybody on the other side. 1.00
00:22:45.280 Even Moist Critical for fucking this shit. 1.00
00:22:48.660 Putting this, like, in the face of a bunch of children who look up to him. 1.00
00:22:51.860 L-Stream. 0.98
00:22:52.680 It's going straight up and piercing right through your colon. 0.93
00:22:56.020 Yeah, bro.
00:22:56.900 This-
00:22:58.100 I don't hate these people, man.
00:22:59.760 I wanna-
00:23:00.960 I believe in love speech.
00:23:02.580 I believe in loving everybody and not showing animosity.
00:23:05.560 Like, yes, I can be more stoic and unmatched perspicacity, but that's the best thing to put out there.
00:23:10.640 It's just love.
00:23:11.220 I mean, I'll say a prayer for all these people.
00:23:12.900 I hope that they do better.
00:23:13.740 I hope that they find the right message to spread to their audience.
00:23:16.760 I hope they try to uplift people.
00:23:18.380 And I pray that they will do better.
00:23:20.220 There's no point in going back and forth and spreading more hate.
00:23:25.480 Because information controls the minds of the masses.
00:23:28.500 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.
00:23:35.880 In the past few years, you saw that with the-
00:23:37.220 They all pushed the vaccines.
00:23:38.040 They said that they don't-
00:23:39.720 They said that the vaccine stopped transmissions and it started killing people.
00:23:42.940 So we should take it into our own hands and be better than them.
00:23:45.660 So I pray that all these people with their giant platforms, Penguin Zero, Moist Critical, should promote critical thinking instead of Moist Critical.
00:23:51.960 You got 12 million subscribers. 0.99
00:23:52.960 This is the same shit with the- 1.00
00:23:53.880 And you're shaking dildos back and forth. 1.00
00:23:55.560 It's-
00:23:55.880 But I pray that you'll do better.
00:23:57.560 Because there are so many different opinions on what is true or not.
00:24:00.300 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.
00:24:10.300 The divide between humans feels stronger than ever.
00:24:12.900 And it feels like if you have just one different opinion than someone, they will immediately label you as wrong or a bad person.
00:24:20.140 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.
00:24:28.500 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?
00:24:37.520 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.
00:24:46.200 The two systems of thinking that we typically use are called fast thinking and slow thinking.
00:24:50.920 And these terms were popularized by the book Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman.
00:24:56.420 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.
00:25:03.740 Our system one of thinking operates automatically and quickly with little to no effort and no sense of voluntary control.
00:25:10.000 Examples of this are detecting that one object is farther than another, reading a simple sentence, or driving a car on an empty road.
00:25:16.820 The system two of thinking allocates attention to the effortful mental activities that demand it.
00:25:22.160 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.
00:25:31.660 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.
00:25:41.940 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.
00:25:51.100 You see, system one automatically generates suggestions, feelings, and intuitions for system two.
00:25:56.060 And if endorsed by a lazy system two, intuitions end up turning into beliefs, and impulses turn into voluntary actions.
00:26:03.720 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,
00:26:12.200 which will then lead to you developing those cognitive biases that we talked about earlier, and most notably, confirmation bias.
00:26:19.240 So the next time you're watching someone, or you're presented with a question, take a quick pause, and ask yourself,
00:26:25.580 Am I seeing this without trying to impose my own beliefs and biases on the situation?
00:26:30.140 Is there more to this than my immediate reaction?
00:26:32.980 And how can I consider this from a viewpoint different from my own?
00:26:36.320 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.
00:26:44.960 This usually presents itself as an increased heart rate, an adrenaline rush, racing thoughts, and sweaty palms.
00:26:50.700 To manage the stress of a decision or piece of content, go for a quick walk before reassessing what has been presented to you.
00:26:57.340 Take prolonged periods to do simply nothing but stare at a-
00:27:00.380 What? This is terrible advice.
00:27:04.140 And as I've said before, and-
00:27:05.900 Um, alright bro.
00:27:08.240 I'll keep saying again, meditate.
00:27:10.180 Mindfulness meditation helps your system too, to not be so lazy, and will help you to be more-
00:27:15.920 I have found personally that praying to God is better than meditation.
00:27:19.380 Objective when the time is right.
00:27:21.440 Now as I always say, there needs to be nuance, even with nuance itself.
00:27:25.940 If you are always trying to think critically about all your decisions, actions, and thoughts,
00:27:30.100 then that will lead you to overthink and just do more harm than good.
00:27:33.860 And if you don't stand for anything, and you let anyone's opinion overtake your current one,
00:27:38.300 you're simply a human pinball, bouncing around one belief to another,
00:27:41.600 and you are far more easily taken advantage of and less respected.
00:27:44.800 Because nobody likes a people pleaser who agrees with everything everyone says.
00:27:49.460 The reason you want to hone your system too thinking skills isn't so you can be completely agreeable all the time,
00:27:54.600 it's so you can become more open-minded to the possibility that maybe, just maybe, you're wrong,
00:27:59.860 and that there's more variables and experiences you need to have in order to form an objective picture.
00:28:06.060 And it's about being more proactive instead of reactive,
00:28:08.980 so we can all be open to more conscious, unbiased conversations that fuel progress.
00:28:14.060 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
00:28:20.500 was interviewing bots on the street and hearing them all justify,
00:28:24.140 like asking questions like, are men and women equal?
00:28:26.460 Well, bop, boop, yap, yap, boop, bop, bop, bop.
00:28:28.940 I'm asking, is it okay to be fat?
00:28:30.500 Bop, boop, bop, bop, bop, bop.
00:28:31.980 Nope, there's simple answers.
00:28:33.420 No, it's not okay to be fat.
00:28:34.960 No, men and women are not equal.
00:28:36.660 But seeing them try to eat, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop. 1.00
00:28:40.000 I'm like, oh shit, everyone believes I'm a lie. 0.99
00:28:42.400 Like, what's up, Sneeko? 0.99
00:28:43.340 Dode here again asking.
00:28:44.400 I'm doing my first year in my podcast, watching a live stream,
00:28:45.940 inspiring me to work myself and spread the truth.
00:28:47.180 Thanks, my friend.
00:28:48.340 Thanks, Dode.
00:28:49.260 Now, there is so much I left out from that book,
00:28:51.300 Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Common,
00:28:53.440 and it really is one of the best books to teach you how to become a better Christian.
00:28:57.560 It's pretty funny.
00:28:58.140 Like, I read sometimes.
00:29:00.900 I don't read that much.
00:29:02.220 I like documentaries more.
00:29:04.720 And a lot of books, I think, could be summarized.
00:29:06.860 But it's funny seeing this guy, like, pretty much embody the idea of why Tate says
00:29:11.540 that reading books is a waste of time.
00:29:13.160 This guy's solution to critical thinking is sit at the wall and stare at the ceiling
00:29:17.580 for 10 hours straight.
00:29:19.340 Go on a walk and do nothing at all.
00:29:21.920 Meditate, sit still, and accomplish zero to fix.
00:29:25.880 And then he's talking about thinking fast, thinking fast and slow.
00:29:30.160 Reading a book and doing nothing is a solution.
00:29:33.240 It's pretty funny.
00:29:34.200 Critical thinker.
00:29:35.020 So if you're looking for a full, detailed summary on that book,
00:29:37.960 I suggest you use the app Shortform, which is the spot. 0.97
00:29:41.060 Shut up, bot. 0.93
00:29:43.260 Makes Shortform stand out above. 1.00
00:29:44.920 Lee is fast and slow.
00:29:46.100 The psychology reads for the price.
00:29:47.980 You five day.
00:29:49.140 What you see what I'm paying.
00:29:50.620 Okay, let's move on.
00:29:51.220 That's it.
00:29:56.760 It's your job.
