 I don't even think you're doing it on purpose. I don't think you're manipulating on purpose I just think that's one of the consequences of the internet is so Jake Paul Just clocked back at nerd city on the last episode of inside the mind of Jake Paul And apparently he does not take advantage of children. You are just a hater But this is Chris from the rewired soul where we talk about the problem Focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel my channel is all about mental health So what I like to do is pull mental health topics from the YouTube community or pop culture and try to use those as lessons to Teach you how to improve your mental health. So if you're into that kind of stuff Make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell because I make a ton of videos I've been covering the entire Shane Dawson series and there's a lot more to come But anyways speaking of what I do on my channel and how I pull mental health topics I would like to announce some new merch up in the merch store It's funny because in the live stream we're like joking around like plugging merch because Jake Paul was there I got a merch store. Anyways, anyways, and and I feel so bad I feel so bad because this design that my girlfriend made the idea for it actually came from one of you Subscribers and whoever it is make sure you comment down below And remind me who you were but anyways and one of the videos I was talking about how I'm not a drama channel You know, I'm not here to spill tea or something and the subscriber said yeah You spilled the well intention tea and basically like that's what I try to do I try to take this gossip this drama and try to use that as lessons learned So my beautiful girlfriend who designs all my merch. She just made this beautiful design So we got it in men's t-shirts We got it in women's t-shirts or like we were talking about in the live stream You can get this design on a little mug So as you watch my channel, you can sip on your well-intentioned tea All right, so there will be a link to this in the description as well as over somewhere around here But anyways, yeah, let's talk about nerd city and Jake Paul So my last video I talked about how Shane Dawson did an amazing job like kind of like going at Jake Paul and like Like hitting him with the hard questions and calling him out on stuff And I think like a lot of us a lot of us rejoice when we saw that Shane actually did Call out Jake Paul for what was in the nerd city video So this is something that's like a lot, but there's a video right now that a lot of people are talking about From a channel called nerd city He is intensely aided by most other creators now, you know, you've said a lot of your audiences between 8 and 16 You know that they're young So here's What people are saying because if any of you were watching A few days ago or last week I made a video about You know nerd city and about Jake Paul and how these things haven't been addressed So I know a lot of us were happy that Shane asked him about this And you know, they they use some great clips from nerd city about, you know How Jake markets to children and things like that and like I'll say this before I move forward. I'll say this I think Jake did a great job taking responsibility for a lot of things You know owning a lot of things or some things that he missed But this was something where he was just not budging on it. He was just not budging on it And you know in his brain he was saying, you know, these people are just on the, you know, fj paul bandwagon, right? Um, I think I honestly I think it's stupid that people think that's manipulative Uh, yeah, I mean I don't even I don't see a problem with it at all like I Just because my fans are younger does that mean I'm manipulating them like And the reason I'm making this video and what I want to teach you about this is like How do we deal with haters right because is everybody who critiques us? Are they a hater or they're giving us legitimate criticism? And I think it's really important for us to understand this But in jake paul's case right like and if they ever do make youtube laws the same way that they have tv laws like Jake is technically doing something that can get him in a lot of legal trouble And that's kind of what nurse city was talking about on television. They have laws about how much you can market to kids, right? And shane brought up, you know, shane Let me tell you this. I love I love anybody who uses analogies. I love anybody who uses analogies and shane Dawson was like listen like think about spongebob. Okay, and jake's like, uh-huh And he's like well imagine if spongebob was the one that was telling you to buy all of his stuff For example, you're watching a tv show when you're a kid, right? Say you're watching like spongebob if spongebob Every 10 seconds was like buy my merch always right and was saying things like teachers are stupid You know as a parent you'd be like, I don't want my kids watching that It's much different than a commercial coming in and jake jake seemed like a oblivious to this He's just like kind of sitting there like with quick. It's just like You know what I mean? But like jane made a perfect analogy. Isn't there like commercials in between spongebob? Yeah, but it's not You're the one that the kid trusts and loves and looks up to and wants to be So having you tell them to buy things is gonna affect them And I don't even think you're doing it on purpose. I don't think you're manipulating on purpose I just think that's one of the consequences of the internet is people having a platform and having millions of people Watch who might not know that that's not the best thing to do. Yeah. Yeah I mean, I think that's again just like people finding a reason to be like jake ball So Here's where you know, let's let's first talk about self-awareness, right? and like I think jake was struggling with self-awareness right here and In my opinion what happens to a lot of us is our pride in our ego gets in the way And I think since jake's a lot of jake's money is tied into this That's one of the reasons why he refuses to admit that he does anything wrong in this And and that's a that's a major issue. So like there's self there's self-awareness on one hand And then there's like being willfully ignorant like I used to be a notorious liar I would lie to everybody But some of you might be able to relate to this Have you ever lied to yourself so so so much that you begin to believe your own lies? Like I wonder if that's what happened to jake like is he believing his own lies That's the interesting thing about polygraph tests too Like if a person gets to a point where they start believing their own lies That's one of the reasons why the polygraph tests just don't even work So has jake made himself believe that he's not doing anything wrong You know what I mean, but like here's the issue Here's the issue like when it comes to something like that Jake has in his mind that anybody who says that is just jumping on a bandwagon and like I remember when my mental health was just down in the gutter Like I've mentioned this in previous videos I used to wake up and just think everybody in the morning was just like, you know, why screw chris What are we gonna do? Like it felt it honestly felt like everybody called each other up in the morning and says hey How are we gonna mess with chris today? Right like that is extremely extremely self-centered to think that we're that important that everybody is just Planning planning these terrible things about us But like what it does is it puts us in this state of denial We just think that everybody's out to get us like that's why I When I when I was making that elisa violet video about playing the victim Like the message I was trying to get across to all of you is that we got to be self-aware We have to take responsibility for the decisions that we're making Like what I eventually realized was everybody wasn't against me. Like I was just being a jerk Like people had legitimate reasons to be angry with me It wasn't just because I was chris. It wasn't people just didn't like me, you know, like I know some people might not like, you know, a big guy with a beer. Maybe you got something against that. That's cool But to think that everybody does and like that's something that we all need to reflect on Like if you're constantly having issues in your life and you're having multiple people say these issues Like at what point do you become self-aware enough to be like, whoa I actually have a problem. Maybe I'm the problem. Maybe they're not the problem But maybe I'm the problem and that's what bugs me about Jake and uh saying that these people are just jumping on the bandwagon and the issue with that is is Well in the live stream, we talked a lot about perspective And I'm going to be talking a lot about perspective in some of these upcoming videos Perspective is very fascinating, right? Because depending on who you are Like your reality is different than somebody else's in the exact same situation So jake and the way his brain's working and his negative bias is he's focusing on all of these Haters if you will all the people jumping on the bandwagon But he's neglecting to understand that there there are people who are just hardcore Ride or die jake paulers if you will where jake could do nothing wrong I bring this up all the time and this is something that just bums me out about celebrity culture When logan paul did what he did in japan in the suicide forest Like logan paul came out with a video that said Don't stick up for me. I'm wrong. I did something terrible. Do not defend me. Thank you But logangers do not defend me and his fans were basically like screw you logan We're gonna defend you no matter what like that is madness and I hope I hope that everybody watching this Everybody watching this you will call me out on my stuff. I don't want you to blindly follow me But what I'm saying is I think jake is neglecting the fact that he has so much power and influence over all these kids That they will blindly do whatever they say So again, it's either lack of self-awareness or it's being willfully ignorant So the last thing I want to talk about when it comes to jake's defense Of this is let's talk about kids and the way their brains work and and all of that Like there's a reason why nerd city brought up those laws. There's a reason why there are actual laws in place about overly selling to kids and pushing products on kids Children's brains are different and I I think it was kind of a weak move That jake was like it really offends me that people would people would think that I would ever take advantage of little kids like Really jake? Really like don't don't fall for that anybody if you have somebody in your life trying to do that and make you feel bad for I'm like that like don't don't buy that stuff. All right. There's like, can you believe this? But here's the thing and and I hate it, but it's the most it's it's the best example I can give you but it's the reason why statutory Satiatory sexual assault is like a bad thing like Like kids aren't able to make the best decisions because their brains aren't fully developed They don't have the life experience like and like when when somebody when an older man sleeps with a Teenager girl or you know vice versa an older woman like there's laws against that Because the kid is not fully developed So when the adult has this argument like oh well they consented to it Like what like kids agree to all sorts of silly stuff So for shame not shame, but for jake to kind of Sit there and act like there's no way for him to have that much influence on children Like that is just ridiculous. So again, I don't know if it's a lack of self-awareness I would like to think that he's not just like not smart But if he's being willfully ignorant about it like he really needs to check himself So I want you all to kind of really look at yourself and see like do you get defensive? Do you think that people are just haters like what's your growing experience because if you have a mentality like jake paul How are you ever going to grow? How are you ever how are you ever going to become a better person? Right? So if any of you have any experience with this and thinking the whole world's against you Let's talk about in the comments below. All right, but anyways, that's all I got for this video So if you like this video, please give it a thumbs up and if you're new make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell And a huge thank you to everybody supporting the channel over on patreon And don't forget to get the well-intentioned t t-shirt or mug by clicking or tapping right there All right, thanks for watching.
