My sentiments exactly. Trolls irritate the fuck out of me. I block people who feel the need to shout and stomp around because they don't like the conclusion I've arrived at on a researched subject rather than attempt to enlighten me as to why I'm wrong in a positive, constructive way with say links to a web site to counter the argument etc. I say if someone has malcontent block the fucker. Like you say, it's your channel. If people don't like it, they can call their cable company ;o)
Some people see an argument/debate just as a chance to learn or help others learn, and don't see it negatively. Some people see debating/arguing as just as unproductive as a shouting match. Understanding the different types of people would probably help you cope.
Also, I'm pretty sure I find you to be the most attractive woman on YouTube, since you are beautiful, intelligent, don't wear makeup, don't act sexually in order to get attention, and your mannerisms seem all your own :)
Thank you ;) As I said (but perhaps not clearly enough) I see the value in debate of course, but on You Tube, there are far too many people set out to be annoying, and most arguments in this medium result in futility, so I would rather focus my energy on more productive things. I am open minded, but I'm not a pushover :)
Aw! ;) You know, I hadn't thought of this before but....its really ironic that I'm eating an apple in this video for several reasons. Well, I don't know if I would use the word ironic even-- perhaps 'symbolic' would be more appropriate.
Isn't it true that if you don't have a philosophy that that is, by definition, a philosophy in itself?
I can't think of a way in which "rational" beings could live without being hypocritical of this since we see/perceive/project/believe/act in all kinds of cause & effect situations all the time in our daily lives that imply a philosophy.
Trying to "be" random might emulate a possible path but I doubt any normal functioning human (NFH) could accomplish that...now as to what a NFH is...well...
You think I don't notice that you're a vacuous turd trying to get a rise out of me? Bye bye. You've picked the wrong girl's pigtails to pull, little boy. The Socrates in your name kind of gave your plans away.
Ouch! In case he's not being pedantic, these are my thoughts on it:
If you're betting on horses, and you think horse 1 has a 70% chance to win, horse 2 has a 20% chance, and horse 3 has a 10% chance, is it best to bet all your money on horse 1? It's actually provably optimal to distribute your bets based on the probabilities.
I think that's a reasonable analogy to picking philosophies, or picking anything really. Of course, for some things you have to make a hard decision and pick one.
No Steel, read between the lines-- he was calling me a hypocrite. Pedantry was only part of his transparent attempt to push my buttons. He's banished. Good riddance. Next time I'm sticking to my miter saw antics and just deleting the comment. I just want to show people that I don't fuck around any more and that I can see right through them.
No prob-- I liked the horse example! Good excuse for it. Yeah, for a long time I let comments like this go only to discover that my first instinct was correct. Last time that happened it was this guy called yogitoad. He said something completely irritating and I was diplomatic about it...and of course since I gave him an inch, he took a mile. It just turned into a cycle of him saying stupid shit and then apologizing. It was clear all he wanted was attention. Finally I blocked him.
Well, before I was diplomatic, the first thing I told him was succinctly to 'shut up'. He got all butt hurt and actually made a video about being told to shut up. It was at that moment, guilt stopped by my brain to say hello.
I went and apologized, and then the whole cycle started: stupid annoying comment by Yogi, me responding, yogi "clarifying", etc. After a while he actually told himself to shut up before I got the chance-- it was a tad endearing, but still incredibly irritating. When I saw he was subscribed to you-know-who, that's when I decided to block him.....but I would have anyway regardless.
In my experience with people that want to use you for something (even if it's just attention), they switch between the "carrot" and "stick" as needed. They're abusive when it serves them, but if they fear they're losing you they back off from it and start being nice. The only solution is a clean break.
People will naturally argue and make up from time to time, but when it becomes a predictable cycle like that, it's unhealthy.
I can't count how many times I've given people the benefit of the doubt, only to have it come back to bite me. I still catch myself doing it all the time.
If only it were easier to use the block button in real life. I think it's located somewhere in the groin area, and must be pressed with a boot.
Yeah, for a while I feared losing subs if I was dismissive of someone who didn't deserve it, but now I realize that people are like weeds in my garden and they're killing my plants! (My plants=my precious time/peace of mind). I would rather be hasty and misjudge a few people and save time and patience than give everyone the benefit of the doubt and deal with yogitoads. Fuck 'em. I'm in charge here, and no one has power over me but myself.
But really, will you lose subs if they discover you're a fallible human being? If somebody is being an annoying twerp, chances are everyone will notice it.
Yeah, I agree-- that's why I don't worry about losing subs anymore. I think people are beginning to realize that I was bombarded by annoying twerps, they are now seeing who these people are, and everyone knows as well as I do that it had to stop.
She's just not going to decide on one philosophy, since she's open to changing her mind. At least, that's why I'd never pick a philosophy. But also, picking a philosophy means that you've already decided on how you're going to be, and people are always changing, so picking a philosophy and sticking to it, is not being true to oneself.
I'm just saying by acting "as though" things are "X" you are presupposing a whole host of baggage. And for anyone to act/believe with any consistency, those acts need to be informed by a conscious and/or intrinsic philosophy.
In the end, for actions to be "rational" or anything more than random acts without deliberation/reflection would be denying what -- for better or worse -- seems to make us human (reflective consciousness/rationality).
But to be reasonable, people can not just pick one philosophy and never put another in its place. But when a person says "This is my philosophy.", they're saying that that's what they're doing. But that's not rational, as I've said. But also, having only one philosophy means narrowing your perspective, and life is too complicated to be considered through the lens of one philosophy- things need to be considered with the context in mind, for instance.
This is her greatest vidieo ever! Love the philosophy stuff, right and wrong, etc... But I do find her especially scary when she eats. Fuck the saw, I don't think I could stand up against her power of wit. if she ever unleashed it in my direction Anyway, She does act over the top sometimes, but she's right on the money with her points just about all the time. And again, awesome music.
You are definitely one of the most fascinating people I've seen on youtube yet. Humorous, eccentric and totally captivating. Love your paintings by the way. If I was blessed in the way of this thing people call money I would definitely have to grab one.
(blush) Hey-- you're in luck. I'm in the process of having small canvas reproductions made of four of my paintings. They will be very affordable. When everything's ready I will host 4 Blogtvs to promote the sales of these prints, one per week (one image per week) and answer questions about the paintings.
1. The opening is awesome. I feel like doing that but I think the people who live below me would freak out 2. That apple looks so good =D makes me hungry 3. The saw came out of like no where. I find it amusing you have one in your house. 4. good for you, don't take any crap and forget those idiots Have a nice Monday!
Stupendous stuff. And it always amazes me how great the strings are in that piano concerto. The Piano and whole orchestra as one giant instrument, and still the piano shines. Something that is often lost on later composers, who sometimes emphasised acrobatics over content.
Love the saw, just don't want to be on the receiving end of it :D
Great vid as always - though, I need to remember to turn the volume down whenever I watch one of your vids, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore made me jump about 20 meters.
Peace.
P.S. I'm dealing with some of the same issues with a couple of users too. Chin up.
I loved the start, The reference to Network was brilliant. I agree with you about it being your channel and you can do what you want and block who you want. I am the same way. I enjoy you so much.
No NO! The problem is that there are TOO many people trying to argue. How do people keep up with it? Besides, I hate MOST arguing in general as you know. I agree that some arguments result in more insight, but the ones you get into on you tube tend to be futile and irritating. See, you and I are arguing (sort of)-- I don't mind this kind of argument.
No worries! I used to like the futile arguments a long time ago, but after a while it just got extremely repetitive and horrifyingly ANNOYING. That's when the head desking started......it was then I knew I needed to stop.
It happens to the best of us because naturally, we expect good things from people. Too often we are disappointed by idiots who manage to cough out something that resembles an articulate sentence. Don't be fooled :)
Yup, that's exactly how I deal with such people. The nice comments are of course great to get, the hit and run haters are just funny, but when someone starts telling me what I do think, what I should be thinking or what I should be talking about, they get blocked. Life's too short to indulge pedantry and stupidity. Great vid.
Yeah-- and then they have the nerve to compare me to fundies and say that I'm not willing to think because I don't indulge their futile non-arguments.
The funniest are the ones who pompously proclaim that they are experts in something and who then claim they "win" an argument because one refuses to entertain their pontificating bullshit. It gets highly irritating though if they then keep insisting that one should "admit" that they are absolutely right about everything they said. At that point the block button comes in very handy indeed.
Is that a wise thing to say o the internet? My first thought was "perhaps in a few years time" and then "are we biologically able" followed by "to hell with it if we're not but we can have fun trying". I then realised the comment was prob aimed at G.O.D. and not a general plea for a child to anyone who happened to stumble across her channel... Or is it?
It was an expression of how well ghost of day mirrored my thoughts at the moment. It just so happened that much of what she said I felt was so well put, it was the first thing that came out in wanting to comment. She could have been a guy, it wouldn't have mattered, though, since she is a girl, it works a little better.
You are my louder, bolder inner spirit set loose upon the world. (^.^)
Why doesn't anyone else understand that just because I post an opinion on YouTube doesn't mean I care what anyone else thinks on the matter?! I'm totally linking this video to commenters when they start down that aggravating path.
I can thoroughly sympathize with the whole 'opinionated' accusations. Except I get that on a nice day, it's usually 'arrogant', 'smug', 'pretentious', etc etc.
People would much prefer to disarm with adjectives than consider contrary or controversial ideas.
The next most common is 'offensive'.
The white persons favorite pass time is getting offended on behalf of others.
I just hit the shit out of my microwave oven with a cutting board, then I carried it down to the dumpster and threw it in with such force that the door broke off. It's been beeping at me for days like it was haunted.
They block/censor/ignore with a completely different attitude/motive than you do, but at a certain level it's the same.
You might do so because it's simply a waste of time to justify something stated as an opinion in the first place.
They do so because they make more explicit claims about reality, stated as fact, and are unwilling to back them up because people who disagree will burn anyway.
It's all so needles and kind of polarizing. My politickz r more epic den yours! I think the same applies to philosophy, and dont get me wrong, I enjoy philosophy in the abstract... I kind of feel the same way about religion... and politics... but that's where they belong... the abstract. When you bring any of the three into real day to day life things start to become unhinged.
I agree with your views on philosophy. I am interested in it, but I cannot single out any one philosophy - they are all, in essence, equally valid, so why should I choose?
Opinionated women make the world go round (unless they're republican and/or christian). I'd definitely take it as a compliment. It means you have a brain that functions properly.
I agree completely. It's the same thing as people who use 'elite' as an insult. What's wrong with elite? Elite is good. We want elite people. Elite people are the reason we have antiseptics, antibiotics, clean water, microprocessors, communications satellites, etc.
Sorry GOD. I know my above comment borders on a argument, I just can't help myself.
No, don't worry about it. I like arguments that are intelligent and result in intrigue rather than frustration. Its the futile endless ones that I can't stand.
So many people argue to "win", rather than have some sort of exchange of ideas. It might be fun as an exercise for a while, but it does get tiring, and it's ultimately pointless.
There are simple trolls, who are content to make explicit insults and run away. There are also complex trolls, who'll make implicit insults within some argument. Much like carbohydrates, the simpler ones are better for you. (At least, I think so. Who cares about being accurate with metaphors?)
I have been running this policy for well over a year. It frees up time. If their intent is to annoy, to waste your minutes, the only way to win is to not let them. When I block, I do it with a SMILE. It's not ripping someone's tongue out FFS! It's blocking a nuisance phone caller. It's removing your address from the Jehovah's Witness' database. It's the right to not invite an annoying twat to your party. It's stopping the flea-bitten mutt from humping your guests' legs. :D
Ye are two of my most fafourite'est. I've a video recording device coming my way, so I'll be able to join the fun, soon'ish.
*Thinks* Hmm, what do I want to say to the masses? I'm fairly sure I'll say dumb stuff for the sake of saying dumb stuff. I'm mad-curious about how I'll be received by willfully unhappy people. But, I don't care; as my dad would say, "Fxck 'em. Ultimately, I hope to entertain.
Don't let yourself getting pulled down by stuff like that... Most people, I would guess, are subbed to you, because they like and enjoy the content you put out... I guess so, because it is the reason I am subbed to you...
When comments and specific users tend to get annoying, it is the most definate sign, that they are not worthy of any effort, arguing with them, as you said, that's not, what you're here for...
Even worse, they cost time and precious brain juice, that - for you - is better
I'm looking forward to your videos and updates on your gallery, though, an online gallery is a poor substitute for the real deal, but that's what I get for living 6000 miles across... ;-)
Again, do what you do, be who you are, that's what your here for... Not some idiots, that might think they have something relevant to say...
Stay put, hold your head up high and enjoy, what you're doing...
I'm afraid (based on her answer to me) that G.O.D. guessed wrong. I hate to rat myself out like this, but it really is more apathy than peace of mind. Which makes me a bit of a shit, but what can you do other than be an honest shit.
How apathetic am I? Send in the worst of them, and we'll put it to the test. :)
You think another old fart who has almost enough years under his belt to qualify as my much younger baby brother can shake me? Come on. G.O.D. damn him! I'm tougher than that.
Well, if he's reading here, he's welcome to give it his best shot. I'll send his Buddhist ass pack-muleing to Katmandu!
I'm sure he's reading this, he watches my every move. I blocked him because I have too much work to do to bother with him anymore. Besides, no matter what I say he always comes back with the same bullshit. He leaches off the government so he has plenty of time on his hands. If you're feeling restless pick a fight with him. I guarantee you he will not disappoint. But I warn you, do this at your own risk. Don't come running back to me if you can't get rid of him.
Awsome video and I agree is some argumentive idiot bothers you again block :)
And if that does not help use the saw and cut tthem down there bullshit and sell the meat to Medusa ( I have heard she likes human meat but I am not sure) :P
you know what I realised in my 22 years on this god forsaken planet, 99.99% of the population of these weird ass ugly creatures they call human beings are full blown mentally challenged psycopaths, we watch each other beat each other in rings until we are knocked unconscious, we drop nuclear bombs in our fucking ONLY enviroment, we drink poison (alchohol) until we are to inebriated to walk or talk, I mean it's clear, im stuck on a planet of mentally challenged psychotic apes. save me...
great idea and a wonderful way to express yourself! nice work. yours Earl

Oh.. sore feet ghosts? aah.. too bad... I like good arguments.... that ends in someone coming out wiser then before argument.
But if people are unable to grasp or see a different point of view it's a lost cause.
Paxmax 2 years ago
No NO! The problem is that there are TOO many people trying to argue. How do people keep up with it? Besides, I hate MOST arguing in general as you know. I agree that some arguments result in more insight, but the ones you get into on you tube tend to be futile and irritating. See, you and I are arguing (sort of)-- I don't mind this kind of argument.
ghostofdayinperson 2 years ago

I'm just childish... I still extract great pleasure in even futile arguments with fundie people.

No worries! I used to like the futile arguments a long time ago, but after a while it just got extremely repetitive and horrifyingly ANNOYING. That's when the head desking started......it was then I knew I needed to stop.

Once again great point. Disagreeing and arguing with other comments is really a waste of time, (something I've been particularly guilty of.)

Yup, that's exactly how I deal with such people. The nice comments are of course great to get, the hit and run haters are just funny, but when someone starts telling me what I do think, what I should be thinking or what I should be talking about, they get blocked. Life's too short to indulge pedantry and stupidity. Great vid.
rozeboosje 2 years ago 2
Yeah-- and then they have the nerve to compare me to fundies and say that I'm not willing to think because I don't indulge their futile non-arguments.
ghostofdayinperson 2 years ago
The funniest are the ones who pompously proclaim that they are experts in something and who then claim they "win" an argument because one refuses to entertain their pontificating bullshit. It gets highly irritating though if they then keep insisting that one should "admit" that they are absolutely right about everything they said. At that point the block button comes in very handy indeed.

Is that a wise thing to say o the internet? My first thought was "perhaps in a few years time" and then "are we biologically able" followed by "to hell with it if we're not but we can have fun trying". I then realised the comment was prob aimed at G.O.D. and not a general plea for a child to anyone who happened to stumble across her channel... Or is it?
Tsanuri 2 years ago
It was an expression of how well ghost of day mirrored my thoughts at the moment. It just so happened that much of what she said I felt was so well put, it was the first thing that came out in wanting to comment. She could have been a guy, it wouldn't have mattered, though, since she is a girl, it works a little better.

I can thoroughly sympathize with the whole 'opinionated' accusations. Except I get that on a nice day, it's usually 'arrogant', 'smug', 'pretentious', etc etc.
People would much prefer to disarm with adjectives than consider contrary or controversial ideas.
The next most common is 'offensive'.
The white persons favorite pass time is getting offended on behalf of others.

They block/censor/ignore with a completely different attitude/motive than you do, but at a certain level it's the same.
You might do so because it's simply a waste of time to justify something stated as an opinion in the first place.
They do so because they make more explicit claims about reality, stated as fact, and are unwilling to back them up because people who disagree will burn anyway.

I kind of feel the same way about religion... and politics... but that's where they belong... the abstract. When you bring any of the three into real day to day life things start to become unhinged.

I agree completely. It's the same thing as people who use 'elite' as an insult. What's wrong with elite? Elite is good. We want elite people. Elite people are the reason we have antiseptics, antibiotics, clean water, microprocessors, communications satellites, etc.

So many people argue to "win", rather than have some sort of exchange of ideas. It might be fun as an exercise for a while, but it does get tiring, and it's ultimately pointless.
There are simple trolls, who are content to make explicit insults and run away. There are also complex trolls, who'll make implicit insults within some argument. Much like carbohydrates, the simpler ones are better for you. (At least, I think so. Who cares about being accurate with metaphors?)

I have been running this policy for well over a year. It frees up time. If their intent is to annoy, to waste your minutes, the only way to win is to not let them. When I block, I do it with a SMILE. It's not ripping someone's tongue out FFS! It's blocking a nuisance phone caller. It's removing your address from the Jehovah's Witness' database. It's the right to not invite an annoying twat to your party. It's stopping the flea-bitten mutt from humping your guests' legs. :D

Don't let yourself getting pulled down by stuff like that... Most people, I would guess, are subbed to you, because they like and enjoy the content you put out... I guess so, because it is the reason I am subbed to you...
When comments and specific users tend to get annoying, it is the most definate sign, that they are not worthy of any effort, arguing with them, as you said, that's not, what you're here for...
Even worse, they cost time and precious brain juice, that - for you - is better

I'm sure he's reading this, he watches my every move. I blocked him because I have too much work to do to bother with him anymore.

I guarantee you he will not disappoint. But I warn you, do this at your own risk. Don't come running back to me if you can't get rid of him.
