 Everybody's afraid of everything these days. It's ridiculous. Today, I'll talk about 10 things that we're not afraid of and you shouldn't be either njrude22.com here with another general interest vlog here, and this is about society overall and We're talking about how and I see this in my family as well. People are afraid of everything these days. Everything is like some big drama and scary Situation everybody's like like cowering. It's ridiculous. I'm gonna rattle off 10 things that we're not afraid of and I that I don't think you Should be either and this is in no particular order. There's no countdown. There's no anything else But the first thing I want to talk about is plastic You know as I drink out of my recycled or repurposed starbuck cup. I'm drinking and a plastic strum drinking some spiked seltzer Corona spiked seltzer Pretty good still like smirnoff better. It's cheaper too. But anyway, I'm not worried about everybody's on a BPA free BPO a and all these toxins and it molecules I don't understand and then now they're even going after plastic bags as well plastic seems to be like Like the scapegoat for something or the redirection of money Because they're worried about the environment and one plastic bag gets stuck in the tree now the whole world Is is has to schlep their own stupid bags around reducing the overall Output of the planet like like 50% because everybody's has to start schlepping things. It's ridiculous plastic bags were great Anyway, we're not worried about plastic And another thing that I hear a lot are people talking about toxins You know, there's toxins everywhere. Oh, I can't have toxins in my food toxins on my skin toxins in the air They're always talking about toxins, but yet, you know the lifespan. It's like the longest ever It's not like did these people they're 90 something years old today Art were worried about toxins back then when they were younger. I think in the in the end They're they're mostly harmless. Yeah, sure. Maybe like one if you take a 10,000 times the amount of these toxins it could have some Impact on you, but there's a million ways to die And I don't think toxins are going to be one of them for anybody unless you work in the toxin factory and you inhale it and forget To wear your mask while making this stupid crap for the your whole career Then you might get a little bit of an issue with toxins, but they have toxins. I hate it's like a scary word And the next thing and by the way, this is all off the cuff I have one word here and I'm just going off off the top of my head But another thing that people are afraid of these days are bad guys mostly what you see in the news are like terrorists and all sorts of like tyrannical leaders of foreign countries like 8,000 miles away from us and there's all these bad guys everybody's afraid of the bad guy They need a bad guy. I'm not afraid of him anyway, you know, they're not here in our neighborhood there's nothing to be afraid of and Even like low I mean, I guess I would be afraid of just like the psycho police chief or something That's out to get people and they have tools that normal people don't have but I'm not afraid of Bad guys. There's nobody's hurting us and if somebody hurts us they have to deal with me. That's it And here's one of my most important ones I should have put this in a countdown and done number one, but the planet, you know I could put up the George Carl and all the planet We're all scared of the planet the planet always wins. You're just little people on my little service I'll I'll brush you off like little fleas on a dog. Well, anyway Everybody's worried about the environment as well pollution oil. We can't we have to have electric cars and and it I Don't know how people became environmentalists and pro planet type People like they don't do that realize they're useful idiots now and everything is fine. The planet will heal itself And also another thing that I've noticed in the past few years is how now every weather event Is now some sort of scary warning? Oh There's an advisory. There's there's a high wind warning even snow squall warnings come across my phone Thank God I turned them off by the way all warnings except the only thing I can't turn off are the Presidential alerts, but I don't need to know about a snow squall I can tell if something's happening or if a tornado is coming You you have a general idea of the weather and and you know, you're good to go There's nothing that bad unless you live near a The shore and a hurricane is coming or there's something like a 20-inch rainfall Expected and you've had a lot of rain in the last six weeks or so then you might be a little concerned And you but smart people prepare for that, but it's the lexicon that's changed. They use all these Like fear-inducing phrases which are very frustrating. I'm not happy about it. And the next thing I'm not afraid of is Scams like scams to get the elderly scams to take advantage you scams to steal your social security number any smart person knows So easily to see spot a scam from a million miles away Because everybody's smart these days or maybe not. I don't know I think a lot of people do get duped but you know educate yourself figure out how not to do anything without at least Researching it ahead of time and before you pull the trigger and give somebody your financial information Then another one that should be also near the top of the list is pandemics and diseases cancer being one of them and all these viruses that are going around and They they couldn't scare people enough with the flu You know, you had the swine flu avian flu zika flu bird flu all these flues that you know the flu migrate Metamorphosis every year there's ten or twenty or thirty different strains of the flu. They beg you to get a flu shot and That flu shot is not going to be good against like 80% of the flu strains that are out there. It's ridiculous We have so many people on the planet. We're not going to run into any problems Unless you're sickly and weak, which hopefully you're not Anyway, another thing I'm not afraid of is war all these fears of war that I remember back in the day It was a it was the Cold War. It was the Russia war nuclear war. How all this stuff? So long as it doesn't happen here. I don't think there's any kind of problem. We have a really good military I wouldn't be worried about war and here's another thing That a lot of people are afraid of these days It's having different ideas or speaking off-color telling a like a crude joke We used to tell jokes about races handicapped people Fat people we used to tell jokes and it was funny and you moved on with your life You treated each person as an individual now every day everybody today's I see them sugarcoating everything and tip-toning around all their Subjects. It's really truly annoying. You know, don't don't sacrifice your individuality and your personality Because you have a different idea if people don't like it Then you've just pretty much you can you can scratch them off your list of people or You know being your friend or you can maybe try to help them in some other way And last but not least here the things that we're not afraid of it's the whole smoking industry Whether it's whether you're a casual smoker or around secondhand smoke. It's it's other utterly ridiculous Smoking it's been shown if you look at real studies, it has a very slim impact on on your life Unless you're already like ridiculously unhealthy a drink too much your overweight and you smoke Then your lifespan is already shortened to begin with because of all the other crap you're doing smoking may accelerate that sure but Not smoking and being a completely unhealthy ridiculous person isn't going to give you a hundred year lifespan either just remember most of the fears that are out there orchestrated for someone else's benefit and That's it. That's a shame because fear is one of the most profitable motivators out there just read any good Propaganda book or marketing book and you'll see that but we're going to talk next about Five things that we might be a little worried about There are five things that and it is so I don't sound like I'm overconfident or snobbish or anything like that But there's a few things that we were on our radar number one. It's it's alcohol consumption I think long-term alcohol consumption is something that needs to be addressed. It's a real problem I don't think even just someone who has a couple drinks a day like us Can just you know smooth skate skate smoothly through life without being concerned about the problems it has on your liver pancreas gallbladder and other parts of Your body so we're going to we're working on it. We're working. We've already cut back down to like 60 or 40 or 30 or 40 percent of the time we're drinking Which sounds like a lot, but it's a lot less than it used to be and another thing that Concern us are the the amount of sugar and carbohydrates and things that are Eat by a majority of the people now We're not worried for us per se, but we're worried about our family and our children And I'm trying my best to be I'm against the grain and it's hard to Sell sell this to someone who doesn't get it on their own But I'm concerned for my family in that respect because I'm now I'm now liar. They don't believe me and Another thing that I'm concerned with as I watch everybody else get dumbed down and and get forced into corners of ideological beliefs and politics and so on it's It's the number of people that I'm meeting these days that don't have critical thinking skills They just believe everything they read Word for word and no one really has the skills anymore to think And have an open-minded Viewpoint on the world and as more and more people fall into this category You're going to find it very hard to to difficult to navigate the world just ordinary conversations or transactions with people I think people are truly becoming dumber just like that idiocracy movie and it's a shame another thing that might concern us is the the overreaching Government and the surveillance state and how technology has really started to make Make smart people concerned about you know, like you soon you won't be able to say anything That's why we don't bring those listening devices into our homes And we don't have our phone with us and if it is it's all shut off and we have special security things I can't prove that they work perfectly or not But it's there or that's very very scary like it's happening in China You can look at the social credit scores and stuff like that. That's something I don't know how soon in our lifetime that'll happen But we're concerned about that and lastly one of my main fears is being stuck somewhere either a large Environment with limited escape routes it's it's out of control mobs and and people that are maybe some sudden flash mob of psychopaths comes in our path and That's those are situations where you have to think quickly and act decisively and if you're open Concealed carry person you got to know how to use your weapon and also Always know where your emergency exits are and how to get out of a situation To bring yourself and your family to safety because there's no logic happening There's no reasoning if there's a mob of a thousands of people you that's a very dangerous situation to be in and There's not much you can do unless you're prepared and you plan ahead So those are things that I I get scared of but I avoid them You can avoid them very easily by not putting yourself in those situations, but that's it I guess my final tip is to avoid all the mainstream media and if you do watch it make sure you have counter Counterpoints to them and have friends that have differing opinions from you as well So and that you're able to have a decent conversation with without just you know Pouting that you someone doesn't agree with you We only scan everything just to see what's going on in this world So that's it if you liked the video hit hit the like and subscribe and I'll see you next video
