21st Century Schizoid Men

[brittonvs]

Perhaps the greatest tragedy of our economic woes, can be seen on Youtube, where unemployed narsssists like yourself become purported experts of economics, political theory, and "humor". Unfortunately, the only keen intution you seem to have developed is conspiracy theorizing.

Perhaps you should put a disclaimer on your videos like : Caution, the following blabber was inspired by paranoia, idiosyncatic thinking, and igorance attained without academic verification.

[quartercherries]

@brittonvs 'the greatest tragedy' - are you insane? I think so. I can't stand personalities the like one above, which is where I agree with you.

[SvenVision]

Gorillaz "Kids with Guns": It's all Desire.

It all comes down to what you want. Have you got it? Or, How do you get it?

Few people continue to the Third: What are all the consequences?

Conquer your desire, and think ahead.

Plan your life, don't be engulfed in it. (Or, are you still looking at that woman in red: the matrix)

[CatFacedKillers]

To bad doing the same thing over and over will often yield different results.

[PaulWykel]

it's pronounced "skee-zoid'

[AndrewLLFrazier]

you misquoted Einstien, it's actually the definition of insanity not stupiity, to do the same thing over and over expecting a different results.

[Frumibandersnatch]

court of the chrimsen king!! I talk to the wind my words are all carried away.

[Libellebr]

Hey look at me, I want to be cool.

[Fersomling]

Hey! People voted for Obama to get the boys out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Why are they still there?

The USA does not have unlimited manpower and the NATO allies are understandably unwilling to send their sons to their deaths.

Afghans will fight any foreigner on their land. It's what their entire history teaches us.

How many more of our precious young men must be blowed up before you couch potatoes wake up?! Just because a suit waves a flag doesn't make him right. THINK!

[freetothinkify]

you confuse schizoid with sociopath and your report is vague and unsettling. You sense logic, yet you don't follow through to any real conclusions as is evident by the flow of events since your report. Tisk.

[infrasomnia]

you lack charisma

[phnixlady]

I forgot about that song, how interesting. thanks for your report.

[xetlive]

I like butter

[JCRReality]

You liberal ,coward bastards are welcome to leave this country at any time...Just don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out...

[PersonalJesus348]

and don't let you pick-up truck exhaust suicide you on your way in.

[ExKon3]

lol ignorant

[NakedWombat666]

i fart upon you.

[JCRReality]

THERE YA GO !... THERE'S ONE OF YOUR INTELLECTUAL, LIBERAL, BRAINS AT WORK.. I give you .."A NAKEDWOMBT PASSING GAS".. WHAT A TOTAL SHIT STAIN ON HUMANITY !

[nowellian]

Talk about Schizoids. How about Obama running as the "peace candidate" while he is campaigning on escalating the war in Afghanistan?

How schizoid is that?

Even more, how schizoid are the people who support him?

Peace.

[sexybitch440]

greenthie- a genius you are not...since you spelled genius wrong.

Pimpmasta- I'm sure he was just trying to make a point, science and politics are quite different, and I'm sure this man understands that, but politically speaking, doing the same thing several times and expecting different results is stupid. (I think technically he said it was insanity, but w/e)

Anyways, great video, very well thought out and articulated.

[Greenthief88]

This man speaks eloquently, beautifully and its a damn shame that 90% of viewers will expirience a head scratching sensation after. Like the gentleman Pimpmasta. . . please do not pretend to comprehend this video or anything Einstein worked for or has stated. I declare a call to arms against ignorance and its spokespeople, yes you Pimp and all others posting for kicks, or scarier, people who think they have valid points.Iam rapidly losing faith in humanity, im not a jeenyus but... forget it STW

[JasonSilvestri]

I concur. This dude rips it up. It takes a lot of thought and energy to produce the kinds of vids he does.

[Bongofury361]

You are correct, richardbuckminster, it was Giles on their debut album.

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

yes and einstein was proven wrong in many things he proposed separate from relativity and general relativity. to repeat the same experiment is stupidity? do u know how many times you have to run a neutrino catcher to just get one collision to get a reading? or many quantum physics experiments require mass repetition to acquire Entanglement?

[olofpalme63]

even in 1969, folks like Robert Fripp and Peter Sinfield feared a "New World Order".

[beancube2008]

Nothing. Anyway those CEO screw it for good so those teachers who teach profits can round off some insignificance of their line-drawing psychology in science and technology with scapegoat-estic economy. How insignificant would human efforts in their texts? Go study religions and you'll find out.

[piplemeter]

Well done. I have to mention Bill Brufords drumming on that song. Incredible

[richardbuckminster]

That was Michael Giles on drums on their first album.

[milkgodnl]

.. bankers are dispensible .. socialize the banks and let the taxpayer benefit on the upside.. we have socialized risk and privatived profit too long .. Doing it yet again as Geitner is proposing is doing the same damn thing over .. and over .. again.

[subnowell40]

B. Franklin - "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result".

It wasn't Einstein... but I guess there was some stupidity in what you said

[r3s3t063]

I think he was referring to this quote, from Einstein

We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.

Essentially, saying much the same thing.

[motonegros]

I thought I was the only person left that still listened to King Crimson.

"It was a dangerous place"

[barflewk]

Dooo, da da da doot doooo,

Dooooo doooo dooooo

Waaaah wah wah wah whaaaaa whaaaaa

Woooo wooooo wooooooooo

[Greenthief88]

Hey,a Schizoid robot! welcome my friend to a reality that makes as much sense as any other make yourself at home, in the front row of the end, got your popcorn? binary flavored, Yummm

[entropyfu]

where's josh

[jason2520]

I have a question. i have a rash in a place I'd rather not mention. What should I do? Should I see a doctor, or just wait for it to go away?

[procommenter]

Go away.

[ktokyo]

It's not "stupidity" - it's "insanity"...

[dukewilleo1630]

I lost you at military-industrial-academic complex. You'd have to be dumb as a rock to add academic onto that. Everyone knows it is a military-industrial complex and has nothing to do with academia.

[davisfleetwood]

I was just quoting the Hedges article (link in description) read it for yourself.

-Dennis Trainor

[DoNotTreadOnMe]

WikiAnswers says:

Who first said the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over and expect different results?

Answer:

That is often incorrectly attributed to Benjamin Franklin or Albert Einstein. In fact, it is a quote from a 1980s mystery novel (called "Sudden Death") by Rita Mae Brown. Sorry, folks - there's no great genius behind this one.

--Sudden Death, Bantam Books, New York, 1983, p. 68

[oldtownkid]

actually it appears in the book Alcoholics Anonymous, published in 1939, and it's a phrase used today by many 12 steps based groups in their literature and their meetings to point how addicts use rationalizations to justify that the problems were not caused by their own actions but rather by outter interference. Kinda like Republicans (Bush failed bc he was not a real conservative, but give us another chance bc the principles blah blah blah...)

[DoNotTreadOnMe]

WikiAnswers is indeed incorrect as I did some further research and that's from Shakespeare's Macbeth Act 5, Scene 5.

[oldtownkid]

so that's where A.A's and others got it from !

[shroomduke]

The Populist RAGE is MANUFACTURED by the REICH Wing drug-addled Wackos whipping their fawning minions into a unthinking pseudo-righteous mob of confused angry nuts hell-bent on destruction more likely to kill each other in their orgy of patriotic fervor and giddy school-girl excitement at the prospects of finally being able to breakout their hoards of otherwise useless weapons and unleash their destructive furry on anyone they've ever perceived to be annoying, ungodly, threatening or liberal!

[myxomata]

The term he used was simply "military-industrial complex" Not academic. He originally was going to say "military-industrial-congressi­onal complex" but he omitted the congressional part out of respect to congress or something like that. but he never included the word academic.

[davisfleetwood]

FOLKS ....

RE: military-industrial-academic complex

I am quoting from the Chris Hedges article (link in description)

-Dennis Trainor

[myxomata]

Yeah and I was talking about Eisenhower.

[entropyfu]

Where's josh?

[thecreammaster1]

The Veracifier channel has redeemed itself from it's "liberal bias" during election times. This militarized gov't is out of control, it is no exaggeration to call it an orwellian state. Your communities are your greatest investment. Plant gardens in your yard, please connect with neighbors.

[wetalmorker]

Think local. Act local. As far as Veracifier goes, I never left. I've very much enjoyed watching his transformation. Still, I wonder; what hath wrought this turn about? One can never be too careful.

[jakeasturm]

Correction. It is Einsteins theory of INSANITY.

Good video

[wetalmorker]

Small point, but it's Einstein's DEFINITION of insanity, but definitely not stupidity. Albert was a crazy MOFO, but we all need to learn more about what made him tick!

[PreetSG]

Seriously, if Josh is not back, I am unsubscribing from this channel...

[ver506]

Lol...i hear ya! I don't really get what this is all about. WHERE"S JOSH???????

[thePuzzledDragon]

Love the lyrics (poem)

[highhorse313]

The "1 in 25 people is a psychopath" statistic is real and affects us all at this moment. These people are without empathy and are responsible for the macro-evil that just won't go away. These deficient individuals will never go away unless science steps in and creates a diagnostic that will identify them. Most detrimental to humanity is their ability to manipulate and control the people around them. They wreak havoc in your home or work-place or church or government - it always ends badly.

[eliseannville]

President Eisenhower may have referred to the "military-industrial complex" after he was done leading it, but we now unquestionably have a "military-industrial-education­al-prison-police complex" and if you doubt it check out the architecture at a peaceful hippy/party school like UC Santa Cruz, or pay attention to how often regular ol' civilians who get a bit uppity demanding their "rights" get tasered (acceptable torture) by our "Peace Officers." So take your anti-depressants and be happy.

[surfbum188]

you got a fight. for your right. to paaaartaaaaayyy!

[PersonalJesus348]

riot!

[whoo689]

When the hell did Eisenhower refer to a "military-industrial-academic" complex, moron? Don't put words in a great former president's mouth!

[MooseOfReason]

whoo689, "Military-industrial complex", and it was in a speech he made shortly before leaving office.

[Hyvaerinen]

You are correct. Those quotation marks in description ("military-industrial-academic­") are wrong. He never mentioned academia in that sentence.

[copcorona]

Thank you for posting your rants Dennis. It is good to hear a voice of reason.

[copcorona]

silence tax slaves! billionaires need their cash. No single payer health care for you! We don't care if it is more efficient and more humane. Efficiency means no profit for us. Stop listening to men like the Dennis Trainer. He will only make you angry. you don't want to rise up against us. We own the police and army. back to work tax slaves

[DarthClam]

KING CRIMSON FTW!!!

[achampag]

great vlog

[cvjucla3]

I wonder if Paul Krugman was ever up for the Treasury position? I'm sure his name was tossed around. I'm giving Geitner a chance.

[MarquisdeLafayett]

i stoped paying attention after he intoned how AIG isn't too big to fail and that people who think so are being led by the media ..OK , get rid of your car and home insurance and see what happens ... the nations LARGEST 3rd party insurer is TOO big to fail , if they FAIL that's like The FDIC deciding to shut down , it won't affect anything right away , but the blow to confidence in the banks would be HUGE!!

[toeg1]

Good points,

It was originally, "The military-congressional-industr­ial complex." Ike was forced to change it.

Um, I think it's understood that Obama is the spokesperson, not the "decider." Hey, he's a lot better than Bush, trust me. He can't really dictate policy at that level.

The government is supposed to appear to fail, then steal everyone's money. It's an old trick.

The last time, in the 30s, it ended with WWII. Let's hope for no repeat performance.

[codediporpal]

USA is now run by an oligarchy.  I poo-pooed the idea for a long time, but it's now clear to me. It's being discussed more and more:

Google washingtonpost "Welcome to America, the World's Scariest Emerging Market"

and The Atlantic "The quiet coup"

[itzsalah93]

i love these types of vids

[rollsthepaul]

To be schizoid, is to be lost to evil.

[Kerkopes]

It's not difficult:

Live within your means ... this includes the government.

[nickwatchesthis]

RIGHT THE FUCK ON!

[Zakdayak]

I hate this video style. But still, very good video.

[ThinkingLeft]

what happen to your old show, the weasel?

[dylanzwick]

So glad you're still posting. I was worried you had stopped.

[NawwLeans]

Obama was handled a pile of shit. He should have let it fall, let the over hyped bullshit stock market fall to shit,let the overpriced housing market fall to shit.

Thats what he SHOULD have done.

Then you lunatics would have bitched at him for doing nothing.

He can't win --- he can't possibly return the stock market to its over hyped insanity, or the housing prices to bullshit insanity.

But you idiots won't stop bitching unless he tries.

[NawwLeans]

Okay I got the first minute in -- you essentially say you are better than everyone else. Your first minute could be translated that way.

Well if you are so dayum smart --why can't you make a point in less than a minute? What the hell is your point?

[meantheam]

I just bought that disc"the Court of the Crimson King"................That says it all.

[ochairball]

I think video guy may want to study up on finance economics. The problem is most people have no idea what they're talking about -- on the left and the right. There is a deficit in our financial savvy.

We need banks and the Obama admin is fixing the "too big to fail" problem thru tougher regulations. Businesses and banks depend on credit. It's pretty basic but a lot of people are just being lazy and not taking time to get up to speed.

[myxomata]

The whole point is that all this economic mumbo jumbo they keep feeding us via the media is a bunch of hocus pocus BULLSHIT designed to benefit those who are already rich at the expense of those who aren't. You don't need to "study finance economics" to figure that shit out.

[JamFu]

Very interesting debate here. This might be the real economic discussion that needs to take place. Do we penalize people for not understanding a complicated system or change the system to be more people friendly. Although the latter seems far more difficult and less enriching (for politicians, executives, and lobbyists colluding together), my organizational systems professor would proclaim that the problem is never the people. The problem is the system. Funny thing is, the system will remain.

[eebruce]

When Banking was at its most boring, between WWII and the mid 1970's, was when our Economy was at its most successful. I think making banking complicated is more effective at lining the pockets of the people working in the banks than at serving the needs of Main Street.

[ochairball]

It's interesting to note that NONE of this would've happened if Americans were smart enough not to buy a house they couldn't afford. So, yeah, it really is about people knowing basic finances. On the regulation side, if bankers required documentation of income, then again, NONE of this would've happened. Yeah, the banks and Wall Street got greedy and now they have all of OUR unpaid debts on their books.

[balomas69]

thats simply not true. the majority of foreclosures are coming from investor's. most of which at the time had good income and decent knowledge of finances.

its not that hard to figure out, just go look at house listings. does someone with little income and intentions of owning their first house run out and buy all hardwood floors and stainless steel appliances?

90% of houses on the market are rehabs.

[ochairball]

It should be finance and economics, and yeah, you should give it try. The guy in this video makes zero sense and you're just repeating Krugman with "hocus pocus." No one is thinking. No one is making any effort to do their own research. As I wrote below, none of this would've happened if Americans didn't buy houses they couldn't afford. I'd say that's a sure sign of a basic lack of financial savvy.

[myxomata]

No dude, It's you who can't see beyond the house of cards which has been constructed around you. It is all a lie. The entire system is the biggest ponzi scheme of all time and it is the privileged classes who are reaping the benefit.

I knew all this shit was hocus pocus before I even heard of Paul Krugman.

[minstral2]

What will we do? Let's see...ahh, the first thing I would like to do is to give Dink Cheney a heart attack by popping a balloon behind his back...and when all the laughing stopped I would hand out a list of names and addresses to all the militias and truth seekers of who Runs the Banks, weapons factories, insurance Companies, and anyone else who controls the economics or politicians who sold out the people. Do you know where they live? If you do, send them a message that you are not happy.

[artlab]

This guy should do a little more research before spending his time in front of a video camera. The differences in economic models between Krugman,et al and the Obama administration, can be intelligently debated. Using "intuition" instead of research is what the Bushies did. That didn't turn out too well.

[90210bt]

Great video

[slapme7times]

great lyrics.

[mullahaliackbar]

I thought Einstein said, "insanity" was doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results....not stupidity.

[rblwoaclu]

I dont have any money can I make my own? thats what they do why cant I? I have some beans i can use as change,

[twhichy]

This is an awesome video and I'm glad that Veracifier videos shows things like this--this is way more valuable to me than 10-second soundbytes of talking heads.

[hypnofan35]

Schizoid is essentially supported by greed and collusion. Life has always been that way. It is one thing to say it and run with it, but the cost of overcoming it would be to change the entire environment either for the vastly worse or vastly better. I'll tell you what; growing up after WWII was nuts. Some people wanted to replace class disparity with class war. I know because i was the enemy starting at 6 years old and no one said anything. The fuckers just cheered it on.

[clarkslick]

Sorry, I generally like Veracifier, but this style of presentation is so annoying I can't even watch it. Please change this format and bring back real information.

[spazznout]

What about this was "unreal" information. Tadke alook around you. If you cant sense the revolutionary spirit rising in a larger and larger group of Americans with each act of lunacy from our Government you are deaf and as blind as our current prez. I do not necessarily agree with the movement but it is there and growing fast Very fast. Wake up and realize sometime the truth and reality can be some scary ass shit!

[MadDogOfist]

That cash for trash is a bad plan for the gov to be pursuing is intuitively evident (though, from what I know, it seems one of many bad choices). It should, however, be seen in the overall context of the stim and the bailout. They want a snow-ball affect of increased consumerism and it might well save the economy - it's not lunacy, it just presupposes that the economy is worth saving.

After 9/11 everyone was told to go out and buy things; that's what America is at bottom; People who buy things.

[spazznout]

What do you mean its not Lunacy. To continue doing the same thing and expect different results is absolute Lunacy. What Snowball? Do you mean Re inflating our economic Bubble through Massive Debt? They did this in 80's, 90,s, 2001, 2007, and now 4 or more times in last 6 mos. That is absolute lunacy. We need to solve the problem not continue to bank aid over it. We cant do it any more.There is no $ left to bail out or re inflate the bubble left.Now that is Lunacy we have done this to ourselves.

[zndprophet]

Fuck Dennis Trainor.

This is the same blind voice I can hear anywhere on youtube.

I'm unsubscribing.

[tillo2008]

don't cry :( I can't unsubscribe to your whining and don't want to see it any more than you want to see dennis trainor's videos

wah

[notscooter952]

Yeah. I'm not sure if his name is Dennis Trainor, or if it's Davis Fleetwood. I can't handle the shock and awe of this kind of commentary. We're all gonna die, man! ...Ron Paulllll

[zndprophet]

It's just so easy to bitch about what's wrong.

But it does absolutely nothing for us. We should be talking about how to do things the right way, and what that means.

Dialogue like this is popular, and instantly appealing to the cynicism in all of us, but on a realistic level, it's sludge, its just one more guy bitching about something he doesn't understand. Can Dennis Trainor solve everything? Hell no.

We need to move beyond this blind, aimless rage. We need to think, and solve.

[robbe21]

You're absolutely right, but remember the phases of a typical crisis: Denial, Bargaining, Acceptance, Depression and finally Recovery/Reorientation. Most people aren't ready for what you call for yet. And that's ok, they will be in due time.

[zndprophet]

good point

[PASMdude]

Our elected leaders represent the people who paid to get them elected and not the people who voted them into office. Lobby reform always get struck down by the courts for violating 1rst amendment rights. Solve that.

[zndprophet]

They represent a national body full of people with extremely diverse opinions, wants and needs. One man's good idea is another man's horrible idea. We all get to fight over the nuances of our beliefs, but politicians have to find a compromise for all of us, trying to deliver change without alienating the people who don't agree with what you're doing. Their wishy-washyness is a reflection of our polarization.

[zndprophet]

two thumbs down for reality, as usual.

keep on believing in perfection and idealism. if only someone else was president-then everything would be okay.

[Loveseekingmissile]

The last real president was JFK. GO watch the Obama Deception film, You may learn something new.

[dluviam]

Loveseekingmissile:

"The last real president was JFK."

Could you elaborate on that statement about JFK ?

What made JFK "real"?

I'm not saying that I think you're wrong or right.

I'd just like to know what the basis is for that claim.

[Loveseekingmissile]

It's a long story, but you can get a perspective by watching the documentary "The Obama Deception" it's in high def, here on youtube.

[zndprophet]

I may also hear a bunch of crazy speculation and guilt-by-association accusations.

I trust Obama more than Alex Jones. Just as a human being. I know so many of you think thats stupid, but its just the truth.

You really think you're ever gonna be satisfied with your leadership? No.

[shroomduke]

They're out to get ya...

... just because your crazy doesn't mean they're NOT out to get ya!

I think we ALL need to agree to get back to OVERSIGHT, TRANSPARENCY & ACCOUNTABILITY! restore Justice!

we need to LIMIT CORPORATIONS!

limit their life, scope, protection, nationality, size, assets, define their RESPONSABILITY to the Country, People, Environment, and pass a bill that says CORPORATIONS ARE NOT PERSONS & that their FIRST RESPONSIBILITY IS TO SERVE HUMANITY!

[rollsthepaul]

You don't get to be president, if you don't obey the masters. Presidents are selected, not elected. You are manipulated to do what they want. The matrix has you, and me.

[zndprophet]

The matrix sure has YOU. Thats for sure.

And the matrix is youtube, the wild west of information. One man's silly conspiracy is another man's bible on here.

Good fucking luck.

[rollsthepaul]

Bravo Melora72, good response. You seem to understand that whatever control you have over your life is seized. Your rights are those that you can defend. The outer shells of reality, are in fact, not real and we must look deeper. Always, the right questions are more important, than the right answers. Cheers.

[RoflStomp13]

oh snap! FIRST!

[Pleblian]

A perfect metaphor for what Americans really need
