  • Plus was shit.

  • I loved her in Alien

  • @jackhorkheimer Nice.

  • Like A Boss!

  • hopelessly optimistic. the majority of people on the net, and in the world in general aren't beautiful snowflakes. they truly can be summarized by their name, how many friends they have, the clothes they're wearing in their profile pictures. as the world population's exposure to itself increases, so is there a correlating drop in its propensity, and arguably capacity, for original thought. uniqueness is a dwindling market and moot either refuses to recognize this, or ignores it for business.

  • dat hair

  • Those 8 minutes made more sense then everything I've seen and read on his website.

  • Very intuitive.

  • Better than his hangover speech

  • this man speaks the truth...

  • Sigourney?

  • m<3<3tles

  • look at this fag get a haircut nigger

  • @lilnicky492 jerk

  • @MajuskaKruska weeaboo faggot

  • he looks like Marilyn Monroe.

    LOL. 

  • @TehCheezBurgrz he always wanted to be the little girl

  • take a sip of your water

  • Thank you for my joining

  • anybeat.com/

  • son and a father? moot's implying he isn't gay

  • "We're more like diamonds"

  • His hand gestures.... they're distracting. 

  • cannot hear him over the sound of his funny hair

  • You look like a faggot moot, get a hair cut

  • This is way better than his shitty TED talk. I've always felt that talk was a huge wasted opportunity. I'm glad to see him talking about something real instead of just explaining memes to a bunch of people.

  • Sigourney Weaver sure had developed a strange voice.

  • NICE HAIR YOU HIPSTER

  • Why doesn't he eat?

  • @cory2146 He's too busy.

  • oh my god, he reminds me of matthew grey gubler so much.

  • what's a roody poo

  • j'ai rien compris ...

  • @smed79 learn english?

  • @DarkMessire I do my best to learn thank you for your repy ;)

  • > Spots a problem

    > Has no idea how to correct it

    > Still gives speech

  • @RyanSocratous The solution is for people to use Facebook/Google+ less and his own site more. The problem is people's usage patterns, and there's always an easy solution for that.

  • @RyanSocratous mfw you green text on shitetoob

  • Nice tick, moot.

  • 5:45

    >bashes social media for not giving options for identity

    >removes trips

  • moot, cut your hair

  • MySpace was the fucking place to be circa 06/07, I remember it being so much better back then than facebook is now, the great thing about MySpace was that you could express yourself a hell of a lot more.

  • I agree with Christopher Poole (he doesn't like being called "Chris"), but that doesn't detract from the fact he is a roody-poo.

  • toasting in a sigourney bread

  • It just goes to show that Mootie doesn't speak a lot. That mouth thing he does, or even drooling while speaking is a known indicator of someone who doesn't speak much outloud. Even though he's a great public speaker. Similar things happens to me haha.

  • Someone should give him a glass of water

  • if facebook let you be anonymous you'd have myspace again

  • @AndyTalkMedia I don't think it's about being anonymous (you can already make an account under any name you want). It's about having the ability to take on different identities within different groups. Which no one says you can't. You could just have a facebook for friends, a facebook for family, a facebook for work, and a facebook for your hacking community. But I think his point is more about how we weren't hiding behind handles, because our handles were part of our identity.

  • @LeadBeIIy i hear what you're saying, this is a tough topic cause no side is necessarily wrong. i just think with every person out their who is anonymous and is doing good stuff & still being a decent human being, there's 10 more ppl being absolutely horrible and taking advantage the ability to be anonymous. I'm all for groups like "anonymous" cause they do cool stuff with their anonymity, but i've honestly never been on 4chan and thought "these look like they could be upstanding, good people"

  • stop this candy-assery

  • I like this ideology of idea. I hope to learn more of it soon.

  • Trim you hair, Noodles.

  • check out the related videos

    dur

    hurr

    ehhhh

    HURR

  • sigourney is a candy-ass

  • Haha, Chris is trying to make smart.

  • A N C I E N T A L I E N S

  • > wants handles

    > removes tripcodes

  • Needs more Sigourney jokes.

  • Sigourney Weaver talking about web 2.0

  • Well, Moot you did make 4chan. Why don't you get to work and make this "perfect" website?

  • Great analysis. Enlightening.

  • Moot is sexy

  • Calm down Paula Poundstone.

    

  • This is relevant to my interests.

  • What he's saying is actually extremely interesting and intelligent..

  • Did Sigourney get a perm?

  • Sigourney's hair looks like it's radiating.

  • urghhh

  • does he even lift?

  • he jello

  • Actually looks scary similar to Sigourney

  • What is wrong with his hair???

  • @123omglol demeaning and complimenting facebook at the same time, thats what.

  • I love Sigourney Weaver.

  • his voice sounds gay

  • wut

  • do people take moot serious irl?

  • Why is Carrot Top talking about the Internet

  • I refuse to believe his name is really Chris Poole.

  • What if moot was a girl?

  • dat hair 

  • what a roody poo

  • alien 5 starring moot

  • You spelt moot wrong

  • dat haircut

  • Zomg moot looks so homo...

  • I didn't think Sigourney Weaver knew this much about the internets.

  • he looks like seth cohen

  • drink some water, man

  • He makes some pretty interesting points. But thanks to @BradTheProducer I cannot unsee the resemblance to Sigourney Weaver, thus I can't watch this video seriously anymore. Thanks a lot, Brad.

  • get a haircut moot

  • Interesting observation. While facebook enforces true identity and real name, twitter has allowed several pseudonyms and handles, allowing people to build a kind of twitter brand that is reinforced with a consistent theme of tweets, but starts with a creative name, a name that has a large impact on who chooses to follow you.

  • I wonder if moot really believes this or if he conjured it up as an excuse for 4chan.

  • I got 4 minutes in... thats all i can give to this.

  • oh my god please hit the gym.

  • MOOT GET A FUCKING HAIRCUT

  • MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!

    WHERE MY WORKING SERVERS AT?

    YOU SAID THAT THERE WAS GONNA BE WORKING SERVERS?

  • He looks like carrot top.

  • @ricardosworld00 I've never gave up my number and my account is still used every day, your wrong!

  • @ricardosworld00 YOU DONT HAVE TO GIVE THEM YOUR NUMBER

  • This is a really good lecture. Now fix posting.

  • Is this Chloe Moretz?

  • @ChicagoMonsterPunk Who is that?

  • What makes anyone think Moot is any sort of authority on internet culture or content creation? Literally all he has done is copy a Japanese imageboard. He played no part in content creation and very little part in the community. He's the host, not the leader.

    Just look at canv.as, the guy doesn't know jack shit about web design and thinks content creation can be achieved in a factory environment and not as a by product of a community.

  • Moot has a dry mouth. I can hear his tongue all moving about in his mouth.

    This is a fantastic talk though and I do love me some Moot.

  • So how should we do identity?

  • His voice sounds exactly as I imagined it would.

  • what a GOAT

  • "We are diamonds."

    - Sigourney Weaver

  • @BradTheProducer I laughed out loud.

  • He look like that guy from The White Stripes

  • Wowww when did Chris get so attractive 

  • myap

    *swallow*

  • very moot and to the point

  • holy crêpe, I never thought the day would come I hear the founder of 4chan using the term "I find this disturbing"

  • well played moot well played

  • Very well said.

  • Shit moot, your hair is ridiculous.

  • what a really good moot point!

  • how old is moot? because he looks like a 15 year old boy.

  • Moot is so cool... he doesn't afraid of anything..

  • DAT HAIR

  • @darko55

    I do not think you know who this guy is.

  • With that hair.. he looks like Sigourney Weaver from Aliens..

  • ok funky 80's hair aside- this was a great summation of how the one paneled identity-based system is flawed, he made some really great points, there is an opportunity for innovation,

  • >we are diamonds

    aww, I think you're golden too, moot ;3

  • @nagaeron We are the hardest metal known to man.

  • Really, really good. 

  • when i get done with this video i only keep one thing on my mind...

  • @thebaronvonbito >has husband and a father

  • Why

  • Good job Mr. Poole, I enjoyed what you had to say.

  • "so then i took the hairgel and i..."

  • Dat hair.

  • MOOT, sort that hair out.

  • Susan Sarandon sure is good at internet.

  • God damn it moot....

  • Moot is mai waifu

  • Never gave a shit about moot, but I support this.

  • moot is moot

  • Comment removed

  • @doctorpickles79 if you only allowed people who truly invented their own ideas to speak, it would be a rather empty summit.

  • @doctorpickles79 Well he's one of the few advocates for identity. Are you secretly an advocate for identity, doctorpickles79? If not, then you should be happy that he's actually standing up for something that is of value to us all.

  • Comment removed

  • What a hipstar.

  • Moot had a Sigourneyweaverplasty?

  • All my scissors

  • Carrothead?

  • Moot get a hair cut.

  • To people on the opposing side of this arguement all he did was make a MOOT point.

  • His wish to become the little girl is almost complete.

  • Mrs. Weaver does have a point.

  • Forgot the Yamaka buddy.
