 You're gonna have 840 here. I was just seeing some tweets about Baked Alaska is in court and Hear the tweet thread says Baked Alaska just talks himself into a trial and then screwed up his plea deal Why are you pleading guilty because the prosecutor said he charged me with a harsher crime, but are you guilty? No? Okay, let's pick a trial day. Wait wait wait wait. I believe I'm innocent So his plea deal goes off the rails immediately. Let's pick a trial day. We're looking at next spring But Baked Alaska news lawyer is now going to a breakout room on zoom to talk so Baked Alaska On line says I'm balls deep in legal feces so Reading this I had the uncomfortable realization that That many normal people if they looked at one of my streams or God forbid a Baked Alaska stream or a Nick Fuente stream or Many a word stream or I Don't know Would people just say With the with the normie just say another attention whore Is that Is that what it comes down to it like I have my critiques of other Livestreamers and other live streaming personalities. So so for me David Kohlstein has just this bizarre trajectory where for years he was really into his Holocaust denial and He went on Donahue ride and he denied the existence of gas chambers at Auschwitz and their whole chapters Devoted devoted to David Kohlstein in books Debunking Holocaust denial. So to me this character is just utterly bizarre and I know I know people who just love his writing and He he has a gift he can really turn a phrase. He's a very compelling personality. He's very entertaining and I have normies who asked me Oh, so who don't live in LA. So you you hanging out with David Kohl? No, I've never hung out with David Kohl. I Don't really think of us as You know compadres, you know operating in the same space But I'm probably being delusional to most normies You know David Kohl story is no more bizarre than my story Convert to Judaism and then write a blog about the pornography industry So I'm just thinking about all these personalities who I comment on from Usually on the the distant right Often to me their behavior is incredibly, you know, self-defeating Often anti-social Bizarre incomprehensible, but then then I have to reflect. Whoa Yeah, most normies they look at my Wikipedia entry or they hear about me. They would think the same thing I'm sure to David Kohl. My story is just absolutely incomprehensible like absolutely bizarre and distasteful and you know what nothing to do with it, but we're all stuck here We're all stuck in in the attention economy. So Your wife wants your attention your gardener sometimes wants your attention your boss definitely wants your attention your rabbi Once your attention your friends want your attention Livestreamers want your attention in musicians entertainers academics intellectuals There's no escaping the attention economy Intellectuals want to develop a following and usually they won't have real-world influence and that begins by commanding attention So are there any Significant gradations in the attention economy say between some Nobel Prize-winning economist who wants to make a real-world difference and a live streamer You know walking through through a department store And I guess the I think you know the primary difference I see In in the attention economy is whether you're making a bid for attention in an anti-social and self-destructive way Or if you're making a bid for attention in a pro-social and non-self-destructive way So if you're getting arrested if you're losing your friends if Your offline life is becoming miserable if your real-world personality is being negatively affected by your Your bidding for attention online Then then that's that's become you know a maladaptive approach So I got a Paul Gottfried right and a Steve Saylor there. They're also in the attention economy They produced, you know far more prestigious work than I have These are people clearly who are bidding for Attention for their ideas right you know far more than for their personalities So that's that's another distinction of people of people bidding for your attention for their personality or For their analysis for their ideas for that for their values. They may want to share so Like a Nick Fuentes is primarily a personality based live streamer big Alaska primarily personality based live streamer Richard Spencer, you know, primarily in ideas based live streamer Paul Gottfried which lean entirely ideas based live streamer Joseph Cotta primarily in ideas based live streamer JF Garry P a little more on the ideas and then the personality but What's up sticks and hammer? Yeah, this is this is my tribute to sticks just just all Precipitated by kind of the baleful reflection that that no matter how bizarre and antisocial self-defeating I think many of the antics of my fellow live streamers are Just kind of realizing that that to the normie now I'm just another bizarre look on YouTube making making a bid for for their attention and so If you're making it a bid for people's attention attention for what right? Why do you want people's attention? What do you wish to do with it? So? For me, it's in large part an intellectual and moral and social cultural and psychological workout You know, I want to want to balance things that I'm reading and ideas that that I'm experiencing and my perceptions of reality now Up against you and get your feedback and you know work out my mind You know get your challenges try to formulate what I'm thinking what I'm reading what I'm hearing Try to make it as clear as possible and and to you know, work out What exactly is going on? So I like the the moral intellectual cultural social you know psychological workout from live streams and I Get excited about ideas Like this isn't the exception. All right. It's not like oh I come on live streams Totally different personality people who know me in real life I think it's pretty similar personality because when I run into friends I there's certain friends who I primarily share a love of Torah with and so With my Torah friends usually Orthodox Jews when I see them we fairly quickly start talking Torah we start discussing that the parasha or We may have been studying in the Gomorrah or the Rambam and and that's our primary area discussion other people Primarily we talk about politics other people. We primarily talk about 12-step, but From the most people that I spend time with it's primarily around discussing ideas so certain people has ideas about the Alexander Technique and And so When I'm reading something when I'm listening to a podcast when I'm studying the New Yorker It's in large part to boil it down and to be able to discuss it with with those friends with whom it's most appropriate And so this way by doing a live stream. I kind of get to expand the number of people that that I talked to about the ideas that are absolutely compelling me but Then you reflect okay, I know what I feel like I know what I'm doing here I feel like I know what you're doing here, but then how would this look like to? You know to a complete outsider thinking is for the gloopy ones Fascinating article in the Washington Post that Lufthansa Airlines It banned all Jewish passengers from a connecting flight Because apparently two of the passengers were not wearing their masks and I was just thinking this is how the world works in Anglo societies We are Taught to treat people primarily as individuals, but even in Anglo societies We still have a reflex to see people first of all not as individuals, but as members of groups So we've got here article Washington Post Jewish passengers accused Lufthansa of oh my god discrimination for flight ban there was an incident in Frankfurt, Germany and Lufthansa Employees singled out Jewish travelers based on their appearance and on their names so Lufthansa blocked more than 100 Jews from boarding a connecting flight from Frankfurt last week, so About 30 members were allowed to board the flight most people were not and The excluded many wore the black hats of ultra orthodox Jews or a Jewish sounding names So you see in a video Lufthansa worker telling a passenger or Jewish customers arriving on a flight from New York were banned From their flight to Budapest Because individuals identified as Jewish had refused to comply it with the Airlines mask mandates and other rules on the first leg of the journey so Many Jews Stricter than average about wearing masks, but among orthodox Jews there's probably Higher than average level of among traditional orthodox Jews is probably a higher level of rebellion against mask wearing So the Jews were heading for a small annual memorial commemorating a rabbi who died 97 years ago the outside rabbi shayeli Carresteer in Hungary, so I've never made that made that trip but The pilot announced that the flight attendants were frustrated with passengers who were refusing to comply with the mandatory mask requirement and with people blocking the galleys to pray so From a non-Jewish perspective There are certain Jews who seem to have a lot of hootspur like a lot of self-confidence to get up and Say that the prayers even if you're blocking galleys Get up in an airline, you know putting on to fill in many non-Jews find that disturbing and particularly if people don't obey the directions of flight crews and Refuse to abide by the airline's requirement the passengers wear medical grade masks So that's the Lufthansa requirement So major u.s. Air carriers have dropped their mask mandates But the German carrier requires it because Germans generally speaking tend to have a more intense fear of the unknown That which is strange tends to be much more Troubling for Germans for Central Europeans and for Eastern Europeans than it is for West Europeans and Anglos So there's a Lufthansa gate agent Giving an announcement due to an operational reason coming from the flight from New York or passengers here We have to cancel you on this flight you know why it was and then another Video shows the Lufthansa employee Telling a Jew Yitzi Halpern that he's not gonna have to board the flight and Halpern says I was wearing a mask the whole time Why am I lumped in with the non mask wearers? Everyone has to pay for a couple who didn't comply with the mask rules the unidentified Lufthansa rep says right all the Jews have to pay for the two Jews who didn't follow the mask rules and then the Lufthansa rep says It was Jewish people who were the mess who made the problems Now I don't think this would happen in the United States Lisa says this is something that many historians overlook. Oh Okay, that's that's silly What do I know about information theory 40? Well information theory is vast so you'd have to give me an example about what in particular with regard to information theory Are you talking about I? Mean can you imagine in America saying that it was it was Jews who caused this problem now therefore all All Jews have to pay the price Right the Lufthansa reps as it was Jewish people who are the mess who made the problems But that's the nature of reality even in England Western countries People don't tend to be seen primarily as individuals We were primarily seen by outsiders as members of a particular group and You may protest that look, you know, you're black, but you don't behave like certain blacks have behaved that of course Non-blacks to to regard blacks in a negative way or you may protest look, I'm Jewish But I've not you know, I've not violated the mask rules but Life is largely a collective experience We're not primarily individuals Born with certain inalienable rights We're primarily people who are members of a group of a tribe of a nation so three people were reprimanded by flight attendants for refusing to wear masks and Dozens of Jewish men were doing the morning prayers like they were you know wrapping to fill in when the Lufthansa started calling passengers to board by name and all became rather hectic and Lufthansa is apologizing They're backpedaling but There's no way around this right When when I wear a yarmulke and Israel's at war people respond strangers respond to start weighing in with opinions about What's going on? In Israel so Who are the people who keep using Luke's chat as a public restroom? Well, I guess They're not around anymore When I when I catch those people defecating in my public chat room After a certain amount They get banned God forbid I think they were white men Can we break down a genetics using information theory? Even before the discovery of double helix Claude Shannon conceived of mathematics to predict genetic mutations Sure in this age you could predict a lot Now would they boot a big group of Christians or Muslims or blacks would Lufthansa do that? good question and I am skeptical that they would all right, so I Central Europeans like Germans and East Europeans have this much more dramatic much more visceral fear of that Which is different and so Jews wearing big black hats Jews putting on to fill in Jews, you know just stipulating Being say more emotional than the average European I think that's going to be very disturbing to many central and eastern Europeans and they're much more likely to have a visceral negative reaction against that which is different and So that's why you'll notice that opposition to immigration is much more intense in eastern Europe and parts of central Europe Compared to Western Europe Okay, that's it. Bye. Bye
