 Hey everybody so as you can see we're driving so some of you saw that I did a little video about the documentary on uh psychiatry from Scientology and then my beautiful girlfriend Tristan who's behind the camera right now she informed me that they actually have a museum I'm like oh well we live in Las Vegas LA's not that far let's take a road trip and check this out let's see what Scientology's museum on the history of psychiatry is so I'm not sure what to expect so you're gonna come along on this journey with me but a few things that I'm hoping for well I don't know actually I'm hoping for it to be normal which it won't be but I think they might have that thing what is that called an emeter an emeter their little thing that like tests you for any mental health issues which is basically like a little lie detector if they have one of those I'm gonna do it oh yeah and my son's here but we're we're struggling with the camera angle so you'll see him later anyways I I'm wondering if they have like I'm hoping since my son's with me they don't have any like traumatizing photos of like old-time stuff but my son's a big boy I will talk about it we'll discuss it and all that stuff but we just passed Barstow we're about an hour away and we'll keep you posted all right y'all I got a little power nap in so we're about to head off to the Scientology museum and by the way for all of you who think as youtubers are ballers like we found a really cheap place in LA it's nice I think it's safe but we'll see all right we're heading off to the museum all right everybody we made it and I got boom the little one with us so we're right outside so what's interesting is that it doesn't even doesn't even say Scientology on there you know but yeah they have a website restoring human rights let me check that out later too anyways going inside we'll be back we made it back and since this hotel room for some reason does not have chairs you get standing Chris today all right so we made it back we made it back alive from the Scientology museum and the only weird thing that happened was Tom Cruz chased us around a little bit I'm just kidding with all of you guys all right anyways yeah we got back and I brought my son with us as you know and it was weird trying to figure out like how to talk to him about it before we went in there because obviously some things in there are historical some things in there are going to be blown out of proportion and all that kind of stuff so we had a chat and I'll be circling back to that because we had a conversation afterwards once we got out of there so we went in there and I even really think about this until Tristan brought it up later but we walked in there one of the the dudes at the front desk who came to greet us he was like he's like hey you've been here before and I was like no he's like oh you look familiar I was like no we're from out of town but Tristan brought it up later she's like I wonder if they saw your video and I'm like huh maybe they did because a lot of people like after I did my last video they're like oh they're gonna come for you I'm like what but I'm wondering if for some reason they saw my video that video only has like 500 views so that that would be weird anyways go in there and you check in you got to like sign in and I told him that we were just psychology students you know what I mean but uh yeah you like sign in and then you you walk into this room really dark room and they have like a video that plays and there was only two other people moving in there so I'm like oh it's gonna be pretty empty but they're ended up being like uh not like a ton of people but there was a decent amount of people it's like a small museum it just kind of goes in this kind of like U-shape right but you sit in there you sit in this dark room and they play you like this video about like the history of psychiatry and industry of death it's pretty much the exact same intro of that uh documentary that I talked about so they kind of they kind of prep you that psychiatry is just this evil industry right and you walk in there and it's it kind of goes in chronological order from like the history of psychiatry so they start back with like those weird like torture like devices like they had like ones that were like remade like there was like this chair where it was like wooden chair and then there's like a thing over your head like this and it was weird and they said like I read the little descriptions like to keep people from like going like that and stuff and then they had like a bunch of the other like kind of torture devices they had one device in there which I don't know if it's real or not I'm sure it is because they did crazy stuff but it was because they thought it was like ovary induced hysteria where it was like this device that went up in a lady and like squeeze their ovaries which is kind of well strange but then you go through and they kind of go to like the world war two side and they talk about psychiatry from like you know world war two and the nazis and everything like that and how they were trying to do like eugenics and all that kind of stuff you know what I mean so anyways you're walking through there you get past the whole nazi area and then it starts getting towards like 1950s and stuff like that when medications were introduced when electroshock was introduced and they actually have this thing where like you push a button and it shows like the it was interesting too because when you walk in there they ask for like donations because it's a free museum but they they ask you if you want to sign like a petition or like donate money for like trying to end electroshock right and I'm on the fence about electroshock because back in the day it was like this crazy insane thing like it's not like one flew over the cuckoo's nest and all that but did you know did you know Carrie Fisher our girl princess Leia she actually swore by electroshock therapy like she said that that like helped her a lot she I think she said she had multiple sessions I read one of her shorter books and she like she was saying how it really helped her with her bipolar disorder right then you go through and it starts showing like all the medications and they have a bunch of like stats and graphs and stuff saying how many medications are being prescribed and I don't know how accurate those numbers are they had a few citations at the bottom but they weren't from like organizations that I've heard of but like check it out whether or not those numbers are accurate I'm not sure but I do know it's something that I talk about especially as a prescription drug addict in recovery like I do know that the United States prescribes a buttload of those medications like not just psych meds but you know obviously pain meds and everything like that and right after that you walk into this little area and they have this whole wall of celebrities who have passed away for various reasons right and like they have like Robin Williams on there Heath Ledger they had uh god you guys are gonna make fun of me for this they had the woman who played Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz on there I said Garland huh anyways they had a bunch of people there and they they have these little descriptions and they would either blame it on you know well they would say suicide or they would blame it on uh the actual medications and that was kind of an ongoing theme of people who committed suicide while on these medications and I'm gonna circle back to that in just a second the weirdest part about that whole celebrity side of it was they had Ozzy Osbourne on there and those of you who know Ozzy Osbourne is alive and kicking all right so he's still alive but I read the little description it was just talking about like the medications that he's been given over the year for his mental illness and all that kind of stuff so the next part like for me was kind of the most uh uh disturbing area actually there was a part right before where they showed like this hall of shame for psychiatrists so yeah I'll tell you about the next part in a sec they hold this show this hall of shame for like psychiatrists um some of them were in trouble for prescribing too many medications some of them were uh pedophiles and things like that and something that you know I ended up you know talking to my son about I talked to Tristan about but I think I counted them I counted how many psychiatrists they had on there and it was like 30 31 or 33 right and I was like listen because I'm a stats guy I'm all about them stats baby and I'm like okay so you have 30 33 people up here right like how many psychologists how many psychiatrists do you have in the United States at any given moment right like thousands maybe millions I don't know maybe I'll find the stat and put it up on the screen you know what I mean and it's like okay so these 30 throughout this entire history like that's not a large number and something I talked to my son about later was in any industry like let's look at police officers right like you will find some shady police departments like what was it in Boston or Baltimore or whatever were they like just a couple years ago there was like all these police officers who got in trouble for like planting evidence all these things like you wouldn't say all police officers are bad you know what I mean so when creating this museum it could be easy to find the worst of the worst examples you know like this whole thing was just like this kind of like scary like look at the worst of the worst but with any industry if you find the worst of the worst it can make the whole industry look bad you know what I mean so as you walk through the next part it showed like the the history of the DSMs the diagnostic and statistical manual and they had like some things on the walls that said like pseudoscience and all these things but it's interesting because the Scientologists kind of pick and choose you know who they're going to like be the authoritative figure you know what I mean so if it's like for the most part those they'll show like journalists or authors and things like that but then you have like a psychologist or psychiatrist who is kind of against like the overdiagnosing of the DSMs or anything then they use them as an example so they're kind of doing the reversal right so they'll be like oh well here's one good psychologist who thinks that this whole thing is wrong or this aspect of psychiatry is wrong you know what I mean they they cherry pick they're like oh this is a psychologist who believes in believes what we're saying they must be one of the good ones you know I was actually thinking too and you guys can let me know in the comments like how many psychologists or mental health professionals do you think are Scientologists you know and maybe they get cold on them to pluck them out for these videos and everything a lot of them are like psychologists that I've heard of and some of their books I've read about overdiagnosing or overprescribing and things like that the next part sorry I'm doing all this by memory of walking through there and you're probably seeing some clips and everything but the next part that was the most disturbing part for me and it was like about children all right so it was about children who have been affected by the terrible things of psychiatry and they have a little section on Columbine but then they had this wall of like young kids like I'm talking 12 and under and some of them died you know because of the medications notice my air quotes some of them had committed suicide at a very young age and like I said there was an ongoing theme of medications causing suicide and here's the thing like if you look at any medication any medication like hell you could probably look at Viagra right and one of the side effects is like suicidal ideation like to cover their butts these pharmaceutical companies have to list all the side effects all of the side effects and it is very rare like a lot of you watching this video right now might have been on meds at some point or another or you're currently on meds and you did not experience any suicidal ideation for example I've been on meds like anti-depressants for over seven years now and none of them have made me suicidal so again it's cherry picking to be like oh oh these people but the the thing that bothers me is there's no real way to prove it you know what I mean there's no way to prove this medication is what made that person suicidal because as some of you probably know these medications may not work for everybody so you can have a depressed suicidal person put them on a medication the medication isn't as effective for that person based on their personal biology their genetics whatever it is like they can actually do genetic testing to see which medications will work best for you like well maybe the medication didn't work and it just didn't stop their suicidal ideation there's no real way to test for that you see what I mean but yeah it was like they had like chairs like it was a classroom and over by the uh some of these lockers they had these things like facts about kids and how they're introducing this like crazy mental health and psychology and psychiatry thing into schools so Dylan came over and he was looking at it with us and there was one part where he was talking about like this anger management thing that they were implementing in schools like it was teaching kids about psychos like their mental health and anger management and it was saying that it was turning these kids into like killers like it was nuts but I was asking Dylan I was like have they ever taught you this in school is this part of your curriculum he's like no and then there were some other things where they said this is what they're doing in schools am I Dylan do they do that at your school he's like no you know what I mean so there's things on the walls like maybe one awful school or one terrible school did something you know like like you hear shady stuff happen at random schools all the time but this doesn't mean it's like the whole thing okay so we ended up uh that was the last section so we ended up walking out and they have this huge area this huge area I don't remember if I got a clip of that but this huge area where it's filled with like books and pamphlets and all this other stuff and a lot of them were free right like they had a whole section on like different medications like antidepressants stimulants antipsychotics and all this other stuff and then uh those were all free and then on this other wall they had um ones that you could buy and like they like really like they're good like you know any charitable organization or one that's free or whatever it's going to really try to get money out of you so the dude was like you know hey you want this it's only ten bucks you know whatever it helps go towards you know and I'm just like whatever I'll just get one of these like I'm the type of person you provide something for to me for free like I want to compensate you a little bit you know and then like when we went to go cash out and pay out they have like this little kind of gift store and by the way on the left side they have like this conference room where there was like people in all these business suits like watching some videos and like I was like I wonder what this is I wonder if it's like investors or I have no idea what that whole thing was all about but you go in the little gift store and they like check you out and they had a they had a book that I wanted to look at I might get a copy sometime but it was about labeling children with mental illnesses but they had like shirts and bumper stickers talking about like you know I don't need no meds or you know whatever it is and anyways we end up checking out and they have like a little form that you fill out so they get their like tax write off and he's like hey do you want to donate some more I'll toss in something else and I'm like sure just 20 bucks like you know I paid 10 for the thing here's another 20 bucks and he gave me something on the military or veterans or whatever but after we left like Tristan kind of made a good point she's like why'd you even give him money I was like I don't know they were nice and they like you know we got to come here for free she's like yeah but you're like donating to a cause that you don't agree with I'm like huh that's an interesting point you know but I don't know hopefully 20 dollars doesn't let him do any kind of massive propaganda scheme okay so the most interesting part was we got into the car and like I said before we went in there we talked to Dylan you know and something I haven't told you guys and I don't know if I'll do a video on this but my son's actually he's in fifth grade he's doing a project for school they they got different topics for like global issues that they need to like figure out solutions for and stuff and his group is actually doing like suicide on a global scale right so that's really interesting and you know obviously he knows I do a lot so obviously he knows I do a lot with like mental health he used to come with me to the events I did at the drug rehab and I've talked to him about addiction and you know all this other stuff so I've been really involved in this project you know because I don't I don't trust the school to really talk to him about suicide and all this other stuff the way I think you should talk to children and plus they're doing some independent research so I've been really involved trying to let him know and talk to him you know and kind of like I don't want him to freak out you know and stuff and just really know how to help people because next year's middle school then you get high school that's when a lot of this mental health stuff starts hitting our children so I've been working with him a lot on that so when he came in there I was telling him you might learn some stuff for your your project and stuff but you know ask questions and we'll talk about it so we got out and we get in the car and I'm like all right Dylan what do you think do you have any questions or anything and I was just reminding him I'm like you know some of that stuff is like true about history and some of it isn't you know some of it is like blown up like I was telling him about you know exaggerations right like like some people have a bad day and somebody people are like oh my god this is the worst day ever like he's he's 11 years old so I gotta you know cater how I talk to him about the stuff 2 and 11 year old and I was just talking about how things are blown out of proportion but then we also had a conversation about negativity like that negative bias and we talked about how they were picking the worst of the worst examples right and my son he does a you know a gratitude journal and stuff like that so he knows all about focusing on the positives and everything so we had a conversation about how this museum was focusing widely on the negative aspects and not only I think about it they didn't offer me one of those little those little tests that I was hoping to take so maybe I'll swing by the local campus here and get one of their if they're back there again but anyways I asked him do you have any questions and this is something I didn't even think about until Dylan asked me and he's like not to be rude that's his favorite thing like whatever he says not to be rude like you always wonder what's coming next but he says not to be rude but how can I believe you and not them and I'm like oh damn I'm like do I gotta bring my son back onto this side you know what I mean but I'm glad I'm glad he asked questions I'm glad he's inquisitive you know I don't think that we should believe everyone or everything at face value I'm glad that I'm his father and even questions me because you know maybe he'll disagree with me on something or maybe he wants to know how I know what I know you know like that's what ancient Greek philosophers used to do like Socrates was all about like how do you know what you know and that's what he was asking me about and I explained to him you know just all the research I do all the all the books I read all the statistics I look at and everything but then you know Tristan chimed in and she's like she's like Dylan I worked in a psych hospital like Tristan when she used to live in here in California she worked at a psych hospital for I think a little over two years and she's like I've worked in that field and they're not torturing people we're not shoving you know medications down their throat like obviously it's a psych hospital like where people are having like psychotic breaks or their schizophrenics or you know whatever the case may be so you know we had a conversation with Dylan like yes some people do have to be you know restrained or but a lot of it's to keep them safe from hurting themselves or hurting somebody else you know and I kind of explained to him like just a couple different disorders and how their brains work differently and all that but then after Tristan brought that up I'm like yeah Dylan I'm like and I worked at a place like that right like I worked at the drug and alcohol rehab but we specialize in dual diagnosis so people there had mental illnesses as well and Dylan has come with me there he's come with me to the rehab I'm like I'm like do you think that we had like torture devices and a basement like we didn't even have the basement there I'm like you've seen these places but then we also reminded him his grandma you know she she's a psychologist his mom just graduated from college majoring in I forgot which form of psychology it is right so he has a lot of people in his life who work or are educated in this field and I use that to kind of show him like hey like you know people and are do you think we're awful people do you think we're torturing people you know I'm like yeah so think about it there's a lot of good people out there but then we had a conversation I was like I was like have you ever had a bad substitute he's like oh yeah I'm like yeah I'm like but have you ever had a good substitute he's like yeah right so I was explained to him that there's good and they're bad kind of like the the police thing that I talked about earlier you're gonna find bad ones but there's gonna be a lot of good ones too you know what I'm saying so anyways I just thought that was interesting because I think that if anything would be the most dangerous like I after we brought that up I was like holy crap like I thought about all the other people who who were in there and I'm like well if they don't know like if they don't know you know the facts and if they don't know people who actually work in the industry if they don't know you know much about this field like what if they really got sold on this stuff you know what I mean what if um what if a really you know mentally ill person saw that and they don't get help that's something I was talking to Dylan about too since he's doing this um project on suicide a lot of what they're working on is providing people with resources and getting them help and everything like that I'm like so think about that Dylan what if somebody was really depressed and suicidal and they went to this museum and they didn't get the help that they need so that above anything else is what I would think would be dangerous so I hope people educate themselves and listen although I'm not a fan of that museum or what Scientology does like a lot of what they said like you know they they're not necessarily lying especially when it comes to the history of psychiatry because that was messed up right but they're not necessarily lying but when you're cherry picking facts and focusing on the negative aspect that's misleading so they had a lot of factful things there right like the people on those walls like some of those psychologists were arrested and you know whatever or some of those people did die by suicide and everything like that but when you're picking and choosing when you're making assumptions about why a person committed suicide like that's that's an issue but if you're in LA and you want to go check it out do it but anyways to kind of cleanse our palette afterwards we went to the Broad Museum and check out my Instagram at the rewired so I put a bunch of pictures like Tristan found it it's like it had so many dope art exhibits and it was free it was totally free and if you have a kid and they're in the area it's right next to like the Walk Disney like concert hall but uh like they give kids like a little scavenger hunt you know to keep them occupied where you're going around the exhibits Dylan actually liked a lot of the exhibits but they do a little scavenger hunt get a little prize and stuff and they have a gift shop then after that oh my god oh my god like some of you know I'm vegetarian like we went to this place called my vegan and it had tie vegan Thai food and it was so damn good like I'm I'm I'm salivating just thinking about it it was so good so if you're ever in LA you want to you want to try like if you're not even vegetarian or vegan try this place my vegan it was dope but I've been to a place called um veggie grill which they don't have in Las Vegas so I think I'm going to take to that place today but anyways hope you enjoyed this video hope you enjoy the fact that I drove to California to check out the Scientology Museum um they also have an organization with a website I want to check out where they're they're
