 Okay. So here's the question. Make the right decision. I don't know which one we should do. This screen or this screen? I don't know. I'm looking, I mean this is the one I usually use and I guess my thinking is like there's just so much stuff here. No one cares. Like you can't click on any of this. But I do like it because it's bright. But I'm thinking I might just switch to the full screen webcam. Honestly, I feel like it's too much. What I really need is I need some kind of like soy, like cartoon avatar, a first sauna that I can use and I'll just talk through that. It actually saves bandwidth, right? That's what I should do. I guess I can do it with like Bucky once I get my official sponsorship. Okay. So I'm doing a stream today. We're going to talk about some stuff. Oh and by the way, I guess I should show. I'll read donations. Send Manera if you want. The link is there. Actually, let me pin that. Hold on. Because I'm going to use this. We're not going to use that other screen anymore. I don't like it. I'll just say donate. Donate.LukeSmith.xyz. Whatever. There it is. Okay. That's all you're going to see about the links. I should pin that. I should pin that. How do I pin? Oh, things are moving too fast. All right. So anyway, here's what we're going to talk about in this stream. Okay. The title says something like making fun a millennial stream. So I wrote an article. I actually just put it up on my website that I think it might be worth looking at. I kind of hurriedly wrote it because I wanted to finish it before this thing. I'll probably revise it. I revise everything, but let's check it out. Let's check it out. I also have, let me just make sure I don't have anything weird pulled up on my screen because I'm going to share my screen. All right. Here we go. So here's the article I wrote. Okay. It's called minimizing liabilities is making it because now the reason I wrote this little article, maybe I should do it in a video because people only watch videos. Maybe I'm doing it in a video now. But the point of it is a lot of the time, I'll just say the other week after I did my week of GitHub, the week afterwards, I kind of took off. I was like, I'm going to do what I want. All right. So I spent a lot of time actually just doing whatever, playing around, kind of just, I watched more YouTube than I've watched in a long time. And so I watched them like finance people. And I want to say one thing I noticed is when I give recommendations on my channel, I feel that there's a systematic difference between me and everyone else at this point. And I now feel like I understand what it is. That's why I wrote this little article. So the point is like what the goal is, okay, is, well, actually, let's look at these. So picture here, 60% of millennials earning over 100,000, say they're living paycheck by paycheck, which is pretty funny. Or actually, let me just check that. Yeah, we are streaming. I should actually see. My cam is lagging. Of course it's lagging. Everything's lagging. Or here's average millennial net worth. Okay, so this is going to make you feel good about yourself, no matter who you are. Because basically throughout their 20s, like all millennials basically have a negative net worth. Now you can see what's going on here. So like, they go into student loan debt, which is basically, they're losing $10,000 of net worth a year. And then only after words, like only at 30, do they get back to where they started when they were born. You know, it's pretty bad. So anyway, I wrote an article, but my point here is that I think a lot of people, when they're giving financial advice, quote, unquote, is they're talking about how do you make more money, right? So they're talking about how do you maximize income. And basically, all I'm talking about is minimizing liabilities, right? So that's the whole point. Like people nowadays, the way I look at it is that like when people do something wrong that's harming themselves, or like when I was in my younger 20s, and I was like, wasteful, you know, we don't need to see the screen. We don't need to see the screen. It's taken up too much. Maybe I should just do like a black, I don't even know, I'll figure out what to do. But, you know, from my perspective, the issue is like, a lot of people will focus only on making money. And what they'll do in the meantime, actually, no, I do need to show this screen. Hold on. Like I kind of, I have a section that's like the life story of basically everyone nowadays. And how this works is what like people go to college, okay, because they feel like they need to, and then they get lots of debt. Okay. And then they're like, well, now I have debt, so I need to get a better job. And I need to like all this stuff that comes with it, right? And I think the kind of the problem that people have, let's see. Oops. Why is OBS like super lagging? I don't even understand this. All right. What was I saying? So yeah, like, so what actually happens is like, people will go in debt because basically, or not just that, I'm talking about everything, like they'll be focused only on making more money, and not about like monthly expenditures and stuff like that. So I actually saw this one video. I don't mean to single anyone out. But you know, and this isn't even saying anything bad about him. But I saw this video by like Sam Hyde, which I know, I know some people watch that watch my channel. And like, I've seen some of his videos. But there's this one video in particular where he was talking about like, Oh, yeah, I don't give crap about, I mean, he was saying basically the opposite of what I'm saying now, where he's like, Yeah, I was paying like for this apartment, it was like 700 bucks a month. And I just did, you know, my time is so valuable. I just didn't have like the time to get rid of it because I'm out here making money. And like, I can't like that is very much exactly the opposite of what I tell people to do because it's like, I mean, from my perspective, it's about like, I mean, if you can survive on a couple hundred bucks a month, that's basically the ideal. I think I said in that article, like, for most of my 20s, like I was living on like, you know, less than 500 bucks, right? Well, I still am functionally, you know. But what was I going to say? Yeah, I am using OBS. I'm always using OBS. Never had debt and never had money. Yeah, well, that's, I guess that's the ideal, right? If you're still alive. Okay, okay. So yeah, I mean, that's probably my biggest advice to people like, because think of it this way. Okay, if you can minimize your expenditures, which is like the other thing I should say, and I'm saying that little write up, making more money is kind of difficult when you're starting out, but minimizing how much you spend is super easy. Okay, like you can get that really, really low. And even if you're only spending a couple hundred bucks a month, like $100 a week, let's say, you know, especially if you're including rent in that, there have been many times when I'm paying like within the modern world, I'm paying like 200 bucks, 300 bucks for rent. But if you can get it get it like that, like even a stupid wagey job is going to like, you're going to be putting like a lot of savings back. So that's the way I look at things. I really want to see a Luke and Sam collab. Sam would punch him. Yeah, Sam is Sam is a big boy. He's like how tall I don't know. People say he's like six, eight, he's like a massive guy. So yeah, he could definitely, he could definitely sock me. Join the military because I realized my life was heading towards debt. I had $5,000 in debt and it was gnawing on me. Don't understand how someone could rack up more than that and not even waiver. Yeah, I mean, let's talk about, let's talk about college. Like the real issue is kids are told, actually, you know what I get an email about college today? Maybe I'll read part of that out. I just happen to see it. And maybe I'll, maybe I'll actually respond to it on video. But yeah, college is where people get screwed because they're told their entire early life before they get to 18, you got to go to college. You got, not just you got to go to college, you got to go to the best college. Okay. You know, if you get, let's say you get into Harvard, let's be realistic, like unless you are already a member of the aristocracy, like there's no reason for you to go to Harvard. Like Harvard for them is a social thing and they're rich. And it's not a big deal. For you, Harvard is not going to add value. Like one thing about college, like a lot of people who look at statistics and they like, oh, college graduates, they're massively different in outcome than everyone else, right? I mean, that's true. But most of that is just like sorting, like more intelligent people go to college as it is right now. People who are more capable of like functioning in the white collar world, they go to college. And they also do well aside from that. But it's not like college isn't adding value to people. Okay. But you know, the real issue with debt, of course, is that so many people get told you have to go to college and you have to go to the best one. So go to Harvard where the like bare minimum to function there is basically 70,000 a year or something like that. And it's just nuts. Like, oh, I've been told, wow, I'm so lucky I got into the school and now I'm spending all this money, but it must be the best idea. I actually had a girlfriend who, I don't know how much she spent on her whole education. Like I want to say it was close to a quarter of a million. I don't know, it might, it might be, maybe it's like an eighth of a million, but it was a lot. Like she went to Emory or something like that and it was a big deal that she got in there. And, you know, all her parents were really happy, but it's one of those things where it's like, dude, you're, you're leave, like you could have literally just bought your kid a house. You know what I mean? Like go in debt and buy them a house or at least leave them with the mortgage, you know, give them the down, you know, it would be so much better if that happened. Now anyway, is college actually good? Okay. Cause here's realistic. As I said, like college in itself is not adding value to you. But realistically speaking, there is a signaling benefit. Okay. There's what's called like economists call it the sheepskin effect. Okay. There is still a reason. In fact, I would say it is like going to college is still probably a good thing for a lot of people. Unless you are like, if, unless you already know you, you have a business and you're going to do that for basically everyone else, college is not that bad. And the reason is you're going to go through it. You're not going to get anything. You're just going to have fun. But there is a sense in which when you apply for the job, you have apply for some job, you have the sheepskin effect where it's basically, okay, this person, we don't know anything about them, but they at least can get through four years of college. So they have like some bare competency. Like that is the only reason to go to college. You're not, you're not getting more value. It is just to like have the certification. And a lot of people say, oh, well, I'm in this field like, oh, Luke, you said something bad about college. I'm in this field and we have to go to college. Yeah, that's exactly the issue. Like the fact that you have to go, like you're not going to college to actually learn something. No one is, no one is going to college because they think it's going to make them like a better, more productive person or a better person or like, you know, they're going there for fun. And because basically the sheepskin effect, you know, that's the real issue. College here is cheap and free, which is essentially made at mandatory. I mean, yeah, well, it's the same way. I don't know where you are if you're in Europe or something. That's what you mean by cheap or free. But like, that's how it is in America. And the thing is like, Americans, they can go to school and they will not be on the hook for paying for any of it until for like years and years, which is kind of the problem. Like when you're an 18 year old with not a fully formed brain, sorry, 18 year olds, you're not as smart as you think. But like, when you can't see the future and you don't have like kind of experience and stuff like that, yeah, it totally screws you. But I do also think like even like in a perfect world, okay, let's say that Americans could go to school for free, it would still be a pretty questionable thing to do in terms of it is like wasting your time if you don't have something else better to do. That said, most people in their early 20s, let's be realistic, they have no freaking clue what they're doing in their life. Like I said, like, oh, unless you have a business idea, you know, don't go to or I mean, go to college unless you like have a business that you're doing. And that is probably that that would be my takeaway advice. For basically everyone else, you just need to kill time, you need to like mature, you need to like have life experience, you need time to like tinker with technology and other skills. And honestly, college can be a good time to do that. Because frankly, college is easy and like you can skip classes and not do whatever like, you know, what if I'm not stupid and a midwit? I said, I don't know if he's responding to me or someone else. You know, someone asked me the other day, or I occasionally get this comment on videos, like, Oh, Luke, your advice to like, I don't know, be or try to be self employed, or like, better yourself and be independent that all your advice is just for smart people, quote unquote, which I think is kind of silly. Because firstly, these are not smart people things. These are things like every listen, look at boomers, you can you can say in your mind that boomers had it easy or something like that. But so there are people who are like, there definitely are people who are smart, and some that are dumb. Okay, there's no doubt about that. But the way I look at it is when I'm giving advice, like that might require intelligence, intelligent people, like they can see it and they can respond to it, unintelligent people, they're not going to do like it's not going to harm them, because they're they're kind of go they're taking the path of least resistance anyway. It's just I don't know. But I really don't believe in that. Like, well, I mean, I do in a degree, but like this idea that, Oh, I'm not smart enough to be able to do this. Most of the time, that is just not the case. Like you can, you can, you can definitely have a business without needing that much intelligence, you know what I mean? It all depends on like, and this goes for self employment as well. A lot of it is like, you know, I do things based on how easy they are for me to maintain. Okay. Like, you know, that I mentioned in the other video, the book business, the nice thing about that is it's super easy for me to maintain. I don't really have to think about it that much. All right, the majority of self made wealthy people I know in real life are idiots who made it via connections and perseverance plus luck. Well, yeah, perseverance, and if you have perseverance, that is more than like most people because most people are just complaining. Oh, wow, I can't have this. I'm going to complain. And the thing about connections and luck, they're a 100% a cope. Like they're a totally a cope for people not doing things, because what happens is here's what's going to happen. Okay. If you step out there and start trying to do XYZ business, you are going to put yourself out there and oh, look, you're going to meet someone. Oh, this is going to happen. You're going to run into this. This opportunity is going to come to you, right? You're going to have this thing that's called luck. It just happens because you're sitting in your room all day. You're never going to see these possibilities, right? Now, player haters out there are going to look at you and they're going to call you, you just got lucky. I can't do that, man. That's all you. You're just like, oh, you're a brat because you had these opportunities. No, the opportunities, they don't just appear. Like no one knocks on your freaking door and it's like, hey, do you want to do this for me? It's not going to happen. Once you actually start doing things, oh, paths will open for them to happen. Again, people on the internet who are saying this kind of stuff, no, I'm not assuming that this guy meant all this, but I will just say there are some people who, again, who are just trying to justify not doing anything who will say things like, oh, well, you just got lucky. You just got connections. No, no, no. In doing the things, that is where you get the luck and that is where you get the connections, right? Things seem really bad. If I were just sitting in this room loathing myself, there would be no connections or luck, right? That's just a note for people. Um, opportunities multiply as they are seized by Sun Tzu. Is that a real quote? People always give him like fake quotes. Either way, I mean, it's true though. It is true. Do you think intelligence is innate, cultivated, or circumstantial, or maybe something else don't have to be something within that just interest in the, I mean, intelligence, in like, there is absolutely a biological, massive biological reality of intelligence. And I think anyone who, I mean, people will pretend that that is not the case for like, kind of political reasons, but it's true. That's it. I mean, it's the same way it's like height, basically. And of course, there are things in real life that will that might, I don't know, put you in a better position for that or not. Like, that might accentuate that or not. I mean, the important thing is to know like, what intellectual level you're at, where you can operate in the same way that like, if you're freaking short, you don't want to play basketball. But there are other things for you to do. You know what I mean? Um, it's kind of the same thing with intelligence. But you know, I'm not gonna, like, there are people who do chat. Well, I was going to say there are people on YouTube with channels that talk about this. No, they probably all got banned. But, um, yeah, I mean, there's a lot of research into the geneticness of intelligence. And you know, it's, it's like, it's like, depending on how you measure it, it's like 70, 80% inherited. But the thing is, like the, what I was saying earlier, in order to actually accomplish things, like in order to have a successful business, you don't have to be a freaking genius. You don't have to have like, you know, 150 IQ. In fact, you know, a lot of times people with high IQs, they overthink things. Like this is where a lot of these people are coming from. Like a lot of, like the worst thing to be is like one of these dudes on the internet with like 115 IQ, you like know you're smarter than most people, but you freaking overthink things and you don't do anything. You know what I mean? Like, you're, I don't know. That's, that's the real issue. Like the, so don't feel, in most cases, like if you're watching my channel, which is on like technology stuff, okay, I'm going to guess that the people watching this, that you probably have a higher IQ than most people, realistically speaking, probably significantly, I mean, on average, we probably have an average IQ on this channel that's a lot higher than like Logan Paul's viewership. Okay. So there's a good chance, like you probably have the raw materials for doing all this kind of stuff. And, but either way, you don't, you don't actually need that much. Most of it is just like doing things, you know? I don't know. The same thing happens to me, like all being in a position where I'm constantly like making up reasons to not to do things or like putting it off, and it's a cope. And you have to recognize it, never recognize it as a cope and overcome that, you know? So Dashing Rogue says, luck is the law of attraction in new age circles. Oh, yeah. That's what they call it. And a super chat. Oh yeah, use the Monero thing. People who have Moneros don't, people have Moneros. Yeah, I think by the end of the year, I'm going to turn off freaking super chats all together. We're going to do 100% XMR. Anyway, TF says, Hi Luke, when will stop, when will stop geeking out on Arch Linux and Latin and settle down with a good Jewish girl? Ha ha ha. Very funny. So, all right. Actually, I probably should check my, yeah, okay. So, some XMR from Anonymous. Why do you not like Catholicism? By the way, your QR code pick is too small. Camera doesn't pick it up. Had to open it. Oh, I changed the, hold on, changed the CSS. I knew I screwed something up when I, how's that too small? I don't know, maybe it's an error on your side. Let me, let me pull it up here. Anyway, sorry, what was that question? I'll actually, why do you not, it's not that I dislike Catholicism. I just don't think it's like the true church. I don't think how, I mean, I've explained my idea. Like, I actually don't like it when people say stuff like that. Oh, why do you hate this? Why do you like that? I don't have emotions about these things. I literally have a channel where I explain what I think about all this stuff. You know what I mean? Like, it's not, I don't know. It's not an emotional thing. I explained them the last live stream actually, you know, actually, I've explained in like every freaking live stream why I'm not a Catholic. Well, I go, there's a period where years where I was thinking about becoming a Catholic, I'm not going to. I don't, like, the, the, the actual historical argument for papal infallibility is insane and made up, and it comes, it is invented centuries after the early church. The entire direction of scholasticism put the Catholic church in a position where it's like making up increasingly insane doctrines that have no basis in tradition whatsoever. Okay. I think, I think I said in the last stream, like the Catholic church views tradition in the same way that like Ruth Bader Ginsburg views the Constitution as like something that like evolves over time and we add stuff to it. And of course nowadays it goes without saying like the Catholic church doesn't exist anymore, right? The Catholic church, like this thing, like Pope Francis, like he's, he's like the biggest, I don't know, he's like the biggest like enemy of Catholicism. You know what I mean? He's like actively putting forth encyclicals and preaching things that are like against traditional Catholic doctrine, right? So, you know, so I mean that's why, but I mean if you're a lay Catholic, is Catholicism like closer to truth than like being an atheist? Sure. But I mean, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe I'll double check the CSS on that QR code though. Not quite sure. So Luke Collins says, since in $2 and says, I recall you previously, you've previously spoken about physiognomy, like when someone looks like a libtard or a conservative. Has this stuff ever been formally scientifically studied? Can you talk about, talk a bit about it? When it comes to like political stuff, I'm not like specifically liberal and conservative. I off the top of my head, I don't know. But there definitely is like, I mean, there definitely is a lot of work on kind of specific things. But I will say this is one of those things that's like, I mean, kind of like intelligence we were talking about a second ago. Anything that like relates the outside of your body to the inside, there's like this taboo about it. Okay, there's absolute scientific taboo. So yeah, there's like really interesting stuff coming out and like neo physiognomy and stuff like that. But it's a kind of stuff that liberals don't like, you know what I mean? Like so there's, you got to go. I know people like, what's that dude's name? Who's like kind of an academic and he's a little, he's very, I don't know, he's much more even than I am. I don't quite, Edward Dutton, okay. You guys know who he is, if you know who he is. He's very, what's the word I'm looking for? He just has this outward, I don't know, someone in the chat is probably saying what I'm thinking of. But he's just very, not loquacious. What's the word that he gesticulates a lot and whatever. Anyway, he's very intense. But he's actually like, I know a lot of the stuff he does is he talks about like physiognomy and some other things that like relate personality types to, you know, other physical things. But it's definitely a real thing. I mean, I mentioned earlier, I was thinking about, you know, on physiognomy. I think I mentioned Sam Hyde earlier in this stream, and you know, he's a freaking big dude. And the thing about Sam Hyde, and this is, this is more an example of like, your physique affecting how you act, okay. Like Sam Hyde, he has this comedy style that's like really absurd and in your face and like offensive. And he has all these things where he does like a routine in public around liberals that are going to like be offended by what he says. And the thing is, you, if Sam Hyde were like five two, he couldn't do that. Or if he did, it would be an entirely different thing. It'd be like, Oh, look at this like joke of a guy. All right, instead, he's like this fear inducing massive man. So like, and I think there is a sense in which you're the configuration of your body is going to affect how what kind of personality you develop. And what that means is that over time, physical traits and mental traits, you know, in terms of genes, they're going to be correlated with each other. Because like if you mixed up, if you mixed up like, you know, intense guy genes with a super short guy, I don't know, this is kind of mean, you know, Joe Dirt says, Hey, Luke, can you make a vid or post on best practice cringe for buying holding crypto. Every video I find is pageants and soy and I don't trust him. Like I don't do I don't care about like investing in crypto. Okay, if you want to like, I don't know, maybe you're asking this from the perspective I of I literally know nothing about crypto. And I don't know, I just need to know how to buy it. But I mean, what I will go ahead and tell you what I do, I don't give financial advice. But I'll tell you what I do, I don't give a crap about like investing in cryptocurrency. Okay, the only thing I care about are Bitcoin and Monero, because they're functional tools, they're good software systems. Monero, I like a lot more Bitcoin like theoretically can be useful and it has a bigger network. So you know, that's why I'm okay with it. But like when I if I buy stuff like that, it is not it's not I never I have never cashed out crypto. And I never intend to, because if you really believe in it, you, you realize, Oh, like in 20 years, if this stuff is serious, this is the kind of stuff we're going to be using in a global financial system. And you don't need to convert it to cash, because it is like it's, it might go up in cash value. But ultimately, you're going to be using that within the system to exchange for, you know, stuff, right? So for that reason, and also I don't want to pay capital gains tax, let's be real. Okay, so thank you, American government for incentivizing me to be a hodler. And those are the only projects I really care about now. As for like, how to specifically buy it now with Monero, I'll go ahead and say like Monero, if you get it from a know your customers change, it's not really the end of the world. So because once you transfer it off, it's basically private, right? Bitcoin, I mean, you know, if I don't know if you're using it for something illegal or something, or you don't want people watching your transactions, you might want to worry about that more. But either way, when you buy it, you should be transferring it to a private wallet. But as to like, how to buy and so I mean, store it, you just, I don't know, get a wallet program. Just make sure it's not your seat isn't like unencrypted on your computer, or preferably it's, you know, you have it locked away, not even on a internet touching computer, that would be best. But so some XMR from anonymous Luca, I need to reinstall my windows. Would you advise installing some Linux distro and learning it? If so, what should I prepare for? I mean, yeah, you should definitely, there's no reason to be using Windows nowadays. Or Mac, I mean, like Linux now, I mean, it's the best time to switch the Linux, you definitely should like, you know, Windows is getting worse and worse. And it's just a frustration, you know what I mean, as to like what Linux distro you use nowadays, I pretty much just tell people to use Artix Linux. And the reason I do is, so Artix is, you know, technically a version of Arch, you could use Arch Linux, but like Artix, so Arch Linux, you have to like install everything yourself. Artix, you can do that, or you can have it pre installed with a graphical environment. So I recommend that to people, you can go to their site, artixlinux.org or whatever it is, they'll have a couple different desktop so you can choose from just pick which one you like. But the reason I recommend Arch distros usually is because they're most flexible, they're easy, and as you get better and better, Arch is more ideal than basically any other distro, I'll just say, for customizability, but at the same time, like it's kind of like, I mean, the way I usually put it is like, you can go, there can be 30 seconds between you hearing about a program and you like installing it and using it, like having it installed on Arch, because you just have the AUR, you have all this stuff that can be instantly installed, which is not the case, even in customizable, well, I don't know, maybe you could do something like that in Gen2, but Gen2 is not a newbie distribution, right? So the only thing that I use is Artix, and I actually, someone gave me, I think I mentioned, someone sent me, and I'm going to do a video on that, someone sent me a Thinkpad, a Librebooted Thinkpad that has Void Linux on it, and Void is okay, I like Void, but don't start with, use Arch or Artix. I have some complaints about, well, really, there's, I have no complaints about Void, it's just, there's so many great things about Arch Linux that I just forget when I'm not like using a distro based on it all the time. I thought that was a bug, it's like a piece of lint. Alex says, do you think it is too late to try and find love if you've never tried at the age of 32? Can you lose the ability to love if you don't go, don't do so for a long period of, I don't know, like, I don't know what you're saying, you're like 32 and you've never, never had a, like, I don't feel like that, I feel like it's honestly, weirdly enough, it's similar to what we said before, like about finances, weirdly enough. The issue with a lot of younger guys is they're, well, thankfully, Zoomers have a term for this, they're simping too hard, they're just simping, like, what happens, this is what happens basically every Zoomer guy, they have some girl that they imprint on in high school or like, I don't know, some girl online and they can't have her or she doesn't like him and so like they, oh, oh, oh, modern women are terrible, it's just awful, whereas if you get older and also like these guys are like thinking about cooming all the time, like they're thinking about girls, they're looking at every freaking girl, they can't like look at a woman objectively, they look at them through coomer glasses, so as you get older, it becomes easier to deal with women because like, you don't really fall for, I mean, you're not, I don't know, all the tricks, they don't work on you, you know, you're grown, like you're not, not as hormonal, so, no, I mean, I don't know if you're, no, it's fine and also like, look, also look at statistics of when people actually get married and stuff and you'll be surprised by how late people have always gotten married. I mean, even in medieval, this, this is a funny, here's an anecdote, people might not know this, a lot of people think that like before this century or I guess the 20th century, people got married really young and that is, that is true, like a lot of people, a lot of cultures did, but there are many cultures where people like medieval England, a lot of times people would not get married, I mean, the average year of marriage would be like 30, okay, because your entire 20s, you would be working as a craftsman or you'd be a lady-in-waiting or something like that, right? So that, like, women would get married at 30, like even though theoretically they're even past their like ideal, you know, fertility period. So like anyone who's saying, oh wow, it's over because I don't know, I'm like slightly older than my whatever. And also again, like on intelligence, you have to remember that people that are higher IQ are slower burn. They're always going to be, when it comes to like relationships, they're going to get married later, they're going to like have their first girlfriend later, that's just like the way it's always been. Like, slow people, they'll, they're having sex at like 13, let's be real. A different in high school, he was like, where was he from? I don't know, some Latin American country, but I actually know, I shouldn't even say this on YouTube. It's not, well, it's not like too bad about him, but it's kind of sexual. It's inappropriate. So, yeah, I try not to do like too much. I mean, Vietnamese person since some XMR, Asians are going to go extinct. I mean, because they're like important, like that's a realistic reason. I mean, I don't think that's just a white person thing. Like I think if, I mean, hypothetically speaking, let's say the British Empire, when they took over India, they were like, okay, here's what we're going to do. We're going to like, we're going to convince the natives that like, not to have children, and we're going to like, immigrate all these new people in. And then within like several decades, they're, you know, Indians are basically a minority. Okay, that's a legitimate concern on the case of Indians. And it's a legitimate concern of like, East Asians who have low birth rates or white people in America who have low birth weights. I mean, I mean, the thing, the only thing about like, like people in the wet like whites in the West is like, basically birth control is their own problem. Like they choose not to have children. Like, that's the issue. I mean, immigration is a big issue. But it would be like, I mean, if people were having rate, the children at the rates they were before it really wouldn't be, let's be realistic. It's because people are going to college and like, you know, all this kind of crap, we all know, we've all been victims of it in some sense. But like that, that's really what it is. Okay, so anonymous sins and some XMR, what's the best job for the coming recession? Well, no job. The best job is self-sufficiency to be as minimally reliant on the system. But he goes on, what about savings? Inflation is ruining cash. Crypto is crashing. Might be a good time to buy. Might be. Sock market isn't doing great. Blackrock is buying up property. So here's my way of looking at things. If you're poor, and when I say poor, I mean someone who doesn't have a house yet, a house paid off. I don't mean a mortgage. I mean, you know, if you haven't like, if you don't own everything, right, you don't need to worry about stocks or any of that kind of stuff. Because my way of looking at things is you got to minimize your liabilities. That's actually what the article that I just put out was about. And I didn't talk so much about houses. I probably, I should add a section in about that. But I think really the priority of everyone before, like your money, I'll answer this question. So you shouldn't be that worried about inflation because the money that you earn, if you don't have a house, that should be going directly to like purchasing property. Okay, that's basically my view of it. Once you like are set, like once you have a house, you're not paying a monthly payment, you know, you just, you know, you're all of that is taken care of, then you can start thinking about other things. But you're already in the position where you don't have to worry as much about inflation and all that kind of stuff. So like, yeah, I mean, that's, that's why I'm a big proponent of just getting a property, a cheap property that, well, cheap as an expandable and rural. That's nice. Okay. But get property ASAP. Because like the worst that can happen is the housing market collapses. But your main property is not an investment. Okay, or it's investment, but it's over like a period of hundreds of years. I think I said this in the video I did like the other week, right? So if you time the housing market wrong and you'll, you end up paying a little more for this property that you're going to own in perpetuity. Okay, you wasted a little money, but you still have like, you're not losing money. There's a big difference. Like you're not on the hook for a bunch of this crap. If you like bought a stock that went down a whole lot and you know, you're going to want to sell that because owning a stock in itself is useless. Owning a house is not useful. Or wait, no, opposite. Yeah, owning a house is useful, whereas owning a stock that's useless, right? It's only useful for selling, selling somewhere else. So the long story short, let's sum it up in just a tidbit. Your money, like spend your money on things that are going to be worth more in use, not in money. A house is one of those things. And that is true of any time. It's true of now. So I mean, that's my perspective. If you put yourself, the closer you put yourself in that position, the less you'll have to worry about having any kind of inflation or something like that, right? Lou Cullen says, again, you're right, Francis is cringe, but I think it's hard to deny the beauty and consistency of Catholic tradition up to Pius XII. I mean, well, that's what the Eastern Orthodox Church is. I'm not saying specifically, well, okay, that's what the Orthodox Church is. And additionally, I think if you look at the details, you will see the changes that were in place even before that, significantly before that. Because again, the Catholic Church was doing things like, oh, well, yeah, Mary, we're going to declare that it is undeniable in the faith to say that Mary didn't ascend into heaven and all this kind of stuff. Like this is now literally if you deny that or say, wait, what's the reasons for thinking that? That's an essential part of Catholic doctrine in the same way that the Trinity is. It's not like a detail that you might not know about. It's like an essential thing. So the issue is the Catholic Church has just been accumulating this bad stuff over the centuries. And recently, she's gotten to the point where it's just, I don't know, it's hard to deny. But of course, there are good aspects about Catholicism. There are still parts, especially if you're comparing it to some kind of protestant sect where people are rolling on the ground and drooling. Sure, it's going to sound okay, but I don't know. Once, as I've said before, once you start taking Orthodoxy seriously, it's like, yeah, Catholicism, the appeal of it is all superseded by Orthodoxy, like the consistency of Orthodoxy is better. Anyway, this actually goes on when I keep reading. Many people point to the influence of Freemasonry in the reform of the mass from traditional Latin mass to the Novus Ordo. Have you attended a traditional Latin mass? If not, I'd suggest you do. I've never experienced such reverence before, God bless. Well, I mean, the reverence of the Latin mass is just what like every, even the most quote unquote liberal Orthodox churches do something that's equivalent to the Latin mass. Okay, so we do that. In fact, you guys are super liberal because you have pews, right? So yeah, I mean, the Latin mass is just, I guess it's in Latin, that's an additional thing that adds to the, I don't know, mystique of it. But of course, in the Orthodox Church, the goal is to have liturgy. You want to have liturgy in the language of the people, right? Although you do have, you know, Slavonic is used, even though people kind of know, like there's some mutual compatibility between like Slavonic and its descendant languages, so it's not like super different. But yeah, what was I going to say? I don't know if I was going to say something else about that. Iblis says, Hi, Luke, what do you think are the best resources to learn Portuguese and Japanese? Thank you for all the work you've done and continue to do what you do best. I've never learned Portuguese. I mean, well, it's basically like Spanish with a bad accent, let's be real. The Portuguese speakers are seething right now. But yeah, usually in European languages, I have an article on my website on this. I recommend using the Michelle Thomas tapes because they're close enough to English. These tapes are fantastic, but I don't think that they did one for Portuguese. So it's honestly hard for me to recommend anything for Portuguese because it's so close that, I mean, because again, from my perspective, like, so I learned Latin, right? And from Latin, I learned all these other languages almost by accident, like Spanish or, you know, I can read French and Italian, that kind of stuff, like that stuff's easy when you have a background in Latin and Portuguese would be the same way if I seriously wanted to learn it. So I don't know if I am in a position, if you don't know, I don't know what language is, you know, but off the top of my head, I honestly can't give you a recommendation other than the kind of the implicit doweling method that, you know, I did an article talking about why you should do that for Latin. But my recommendation for every language is new learners don't understand, you need to understand the grammar of a language before you start learning it. That's really, that is one thing that I would recommend. Like, now with Portuguese, you don't really need to know that much, like, grammatically, it's very similar to English. Well, I guess you have to learn conjugation and all that kind of stuff, like, if you don't have a background in some other conjugated language, but learn the grammar first, like, really take it seriously as a separate thing, not as even part of the language. Like, it's a formal system aside from the language, learn that, and the same thing is probably true of Japanese. I don't, again, like, I feel weird about saying anything about languages that I don't know. In Japanese, I never bothered learning. Oh, shoot. There is, there is one, there's one series, I'm not going to be able to remember. I know there's one series that all the smart people recommend for using for Japanese, but I totally forget what it is. I think it's kind of similar to the De Francis series for Chinese. Yeah, that's an interesting mix that he asked about Portuguese and Japanese, I don't know. So Anonymous says, posture check. Stand up with your arms hanging naturally. Your thumbs should point forward. Most people's thumbs point in towards the body. This is due to internal rotation of the shoulder bent over computers and keyboards. Split keyboards can help alleviate the problem. That's interesting. So if you stand up, your thumbs should be pointing in the ideal world. I don't know. Yeah, see, I think I have the modern soy equivalent where my thumbs point inward. I'm probably thinking about it, but yeah, I think I'm like that as well. Yeah, I need to separate that. I've never heard that. That's interesting. I have heard like, you know, you got to have the J-shaped body, like people before. I'm not even going to do it. People are going to make a meme of it, so I'm not going to show it to you. But it's basically like a perfectly straight back. You look ludicrous, honestly. Well, it actually feels, it feels all right. And it also is a more authoritative presence. If you actually look at Donald Trump, this is how he stands. But it's basically like your back is entirely straight until the bottom, like kind of, it's like you have a tail that's going out and kind of like your butt sticks out. It's weird. But that's another thing. It's great for posture. And it actually makes you look, makes you look a little taller and more authoritative, you know. So that is one thing that I've heard. And I should probably do, but that's another thing where like sitting is screwed us up. Because instead of like sticking, you know, kind of, I don't know, sticking it out, we kind of slump and we kind of make this curve. So that's interesting. Yeah, yeah, I totally have a soy shoulder, man. I gotta, I gotta start, I gotta start standing like this, you know, I guess video game characters, they stand like that, right? Take your hand, drag the fingers across your head, you should feel hair. Technically, I do feel hair, but it's not very visible. Let's see. All right, no more emails. Okay, Donald Trump straight up J posting. Yeah, he does. He does J, but he posts the J. Yeah, he corrected it to posing, but whatever. Sitting on the ground like a neat check the mail, check the mail. All right. Yeah, I don't know how we're liking. So let's do another intermediate vote. Who wants the old screen with all this stuff on it? See, the thing is, I don't like, I don't like all these URLs. But I do like the color it brings. I feel like this and I also feel like me having me as the whole screen, there is a sense in which this is the only contentful detail you care about. But I feel like it's a little too arrogant. As I said, I really, I really need to get a first sauna to use as a cartoon avatar instead of having myself on here. Is my internet not either the chat like froze for a second or okay, here it goes. Here it goes. Yeah, people like full screen. Seems like the most loud people are saying they like full screen better. Yeah, we already made fun of millennials at the beginning of the video. But yeah, I need a Vtuber for sauna. That's what I really need. It's going to be Bucky's. When Bucky's gives me a corporate endorsement. Guys, does anyone, does anyone work for Bucky? The Bucky? I don't even know how it is. H top with a face cam. Oh, that's not an idea. I'm sorry. I hate the program H top. I just want to say I love it. Now do I use it? Yes. But most people who use it don't use it. You know what I mean? Like most people, they use H top here. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Redditors. Sorry, 4chan. I know they have a general for like posting desktops, but whatever. I don't know. 99% of the time when people are running H top, they're running it because oh, look, it looks fancy. Let me pull it up and then take a screenshot of my screen and then post it on the internet to get upcomies. Like that's literally the function of H top. Dude, Bucky's. How do you guys not know what Bucky's is? Cringe. Don't call them Cucky. Yeah. G top does look better, but still same concept. And also actually, do I have G top installed on this? Because I want doesn't it have Oh, it's not G top is not in maybe it's called go top repository. Oh, yeah. Okay. There is a program called go top. Yeah, I'm running void on this. Okay. Yeah, there it is. I feel like that should look prettier. Anyway, yeah, here's, here's what we're looking at. Wow, look at this. Wow. I can't wait to put this on Reddit guys. OMG. Wow. What a hacker. What a hacker. What a freaking hacker. All right. Anyway, let's go back. Wait, no, I always click on the wrong thing. There we go. Tal Jones says, how do I get Monero? Well, that's a million dollar question, isn't it? Because, you know, the the central problem of cryptocurrency right now is there's no good way to get it. Like you can get it on and know your customer exchange, but then you're getting it on and know your customer exchange. So I'll go ahead and say this. If you need, if you need to get Monero, you can go to, I want to, does Binance have Monero or Kraken, I think has Monero? There are some know your customer exchanges that have it. If you want to do it the easy way, if you don't mind giving your ID, because in Monero, it is not as bad because once you transfer that off, it's anonymous. Like you're good, you're safe. The only thing that the system knows is, oh, this dude has Monero, they can't follow the transactions after that. Okay. So worst case scenario, yes, you can get it from a know your customer exchange. I think Kraken, and I think I don't know about Binance. I'm not quite sure. I don't think Binance works for Americans or something. I've never had, I don't have an account, either one of those places. So other places to get Monero, if you have another cryptocurrency right now, Bitcoin, there are a million play, there are a million sites, you can go to actually website actionable website, go to Monero dot how, because this site lists everything. There are exchanges where you don't have to register. You can just, they just say, send Bitcoin to this address and we will send you Monero or Ethereum or something else. So if you have any other kind of cryptocurrency, that's a fine way to do it. There are atomic swaps out there. I don't, and I think they're working. So I think if you have Bitcoin there, but if you only have cash and you want to do it the right way, there are basically two ways to do it. One is, what is it, local Monero. If you go to that site, just search local Monero. That is like an eBay for Monero, where you can just like, if you get hooked up, you can, there are many people trying to buy and sell. You can just go there and, you know, someone says, hey, I want, I'm selling 200 bucks in Monero. If someone sends me $200, I'll give them Monero. So it's like kind of an eBay peer-to-peer thing. That is the ideal privacy-centered way to exchange any kind of cryptocurrency, but Monero especially. If you don't want to do that, there's also, well actually this is probably more difficult, but you can also use Bisk, which you may know of, B-I-S-Q. And that is like, you know, this program you run on your computer that like, it's the same thing where you like put out orders and exchange with people and, you know, you can arrange the pay, I should say on these sites, since you're paying in a peer-to-peer fashion, you can say, oh, I'll give you cash or I'll send you money on like PayPal. You know, it depends on what it is, right? So there are a bunch of ways to get it. It just depends on like how idealist you want to be. If you're just starting out and you don't know anything, you might as well go to Kraken, buy some, transfer it off. Or if you have cryptocurrency already, I would probably, just as easy or probably easier and more ideal would be to go to one of these swap sites, go to Monero.how, they list some out where you can send in some amount of Bitcoin to a site and they will give you Monero, right? But the ideal way is to use Locomonero. But right now, just go ahead and say, there is like, there's no perfect, there's no perfect normie solution for like getting cryptocurrency. That's just the fact of life as it is right now. It's hard to get into it. Once you're into it, it's great. Once you're into it, once you cross that path, because it's easy to exchange one crypto for the other on an anonymous site where, you know, there's no, no, no, your customer. But, oh, there are also a couple like minor exchanges like, I think trade ogre, there's a site called trade ogre, which is actually really cool because it's kind of old school. And they have a lot of cryptocurrencies. And they have Bitcoin, you can transfer Bitcoin and crap there and transfer it to Monero. It is not know your customer, but you do have an account. So you might prefer that. But you can't buy in cash there. So you have to transfer on there. Alex says, do you think that Latin should be easy to learn if you're a native speaker of Spanish? I asked because Spanish is my first language. And I love learning languages. Thanks for answering my previous question. I guess that was the Portuguese and Japanese one. I'm not quite sure. Either way. Yeah, I mean, it would be easier. Yeah, definitely be easier, especially if you're a native speaker. Have you heard of the Havana exchange? It's a pure Monero bisque fork. Yeah, I have heard of it. I'm keeping tabs on it. I want to say there was something screwy going on with it a little bit ago. But, you know, if they put it out of finished, what was, does anyone remember like the drama with that? Like they cucked out on something. I want to say, maybe I'm getting that confused with Haven or whatever it was. I forget. But actually on that, yeah, yeah, Latin would be easier if you know Spanish, just because you kind of have the vocabulary. And honestly, like even learning it from English is pretty much is not difficult because for every Latin word, there's some English mnemonic. And of course, there's going to be a Spanish mnemonic for it, like some word that comes from the Latin word that you can know. Okay, Vietnamese person says, I don't think white elites are exactly trying to replace whites in America. I simply don't buy this. I don't, yeah, white, white elites. I simply don't buy this. I don't buy the the Jew thing completely. Like once America enters the recession, immigration is going to be cut. I don't see the rate. No, I mean, like you have to look at, you have to look at the American opinion mulling class and understand that those people are a cult, like they're psychotic. And most of the things that they're doing now have nothing to do with self interest. Okay, they just have not like, have you met a liberal in your life? Like, have you been around have you listened to what these people say to themselves when they think no one's listening? Like the thing is they 100% believe their own propaganda. So it's not like the self-interested like secret, like a lot of people make it sound like it's this very Machiavellian thing. No, these people actually believe their own propaganda. That's like kind of the thing that's worst about it. Do you know about low tech magazine? This isn't a donation, but I guess I'm reading it because whatever it's just someone sent me an email in the meantime. Hey, Luke, have you read low tech magazine? Yes, I'm familiar with this. So I think it's guys who they run this like magazine totally on solar panels on this little tiny micro computer. I don't know if it's a Raspberry Pi kind of thing. But yeah, they do have cool articles on like all this like low tech stuff like doing things. Well, I'll read his explanation of it out. I think it's an excellent source for finding and building technology that makes you more energy or independent of technology. It's based on the idea that not everything has to be done in a complicated way and old solutions are often better than the new shiny toys. Also their solar website is pretty cool. Yeah, that's what I was thinking about. It uses dithering to compress images so that their pages are not too heavy. Yeah, I recommend people to check that out. I haven't, you know, it's not in my RSS feed right now. Maybe I should add it just does in solidarity, but I think it's an interesting site. Again, low tech magazine, if anyone wants to check it out. Merlin, since it's from Xmarin says, I like using the Bitcoin Lightning Network to trade for Monero because it's fast. I've never done that. Maybe it's a possibility. I feel like it's kind of like most people who have Bitcoin like they haven't used the Lightning Network in any way, shape, or form. So that like you to recommend that as a way to get into Monero, you know, that'd be like extra steps for them. But if it works, it works. I've never tried it, at least for exchanging Monero. Anonymous says, Luke, do you have any good, have a, or do you have good understanding of computer science and stuff that comes with it in college like discrete maths and data structures? And how did you learn it if you were studying linguistics? I mean, like my, I don't really think of myself as a computer science person. I mean, I do do small amounts of programming, and I have the sites that I run, and I, I mean, I do this kind of stuff. Like my stuff is very power user focused. It's very like kind of, I don't know, like artisanal. I'm just, I'm not, do I do math? No, basically not. I don't, even when I was in college, when I was doing my linguistics degree, I did do some like big data stuff. But even that was not super math intensive, and stuff like discrete math I never took data structures. I kind of took classes that are analogous to that. But I don't think it's a prerequisite in many cases for like basic computing. Like if you just want to like, I mean, it's obviously not a requirement for like writing basic programs and even writing very effective programs. But there is that more academic side to computer science and more like the large scale stuff that that might be required for. But like, yeah, no, I don't, I don't really do that. I mean, because I'm kind of on the other end of the spectrum. Steven, since in $5, I don't think there's a comment on that. Thank you though. Have you read the book of, have you read the book of Enoch? Yes, I have. In fact, I sell it on my site that you can buy at LindyPress.net right here in the red letters. Yes, I've read the book of Enoch. Although, well, I guess I've read the other two books of Enoch too, but they're, they're pale in comparison. They're written much later and, you know, whatever. They have less, I don't know, either way, they're less exciting, especially the Hebrew, is that the second one or the third? I always get them confused. One of the, I want to say second Enoch is sometimes called the, maybe I shouldn't actually look in it, it's sometimes called the Hebrew Enoch. It's like a non-Christian. It's, it's like written by Jews after the Christian era. And then the third one is called the Slavonic Enoch, because we have, it attested to in Slavonic. And then, oh yeah, it also comes with the book of Jubilees. If you want to buy it on LindyPress.net right now, like, comment, and subscribe. No, no, okay. No, Enoch 3 is the Hebrew Enoch. That, okay, that actually makes more sense because it was written later, I'm pretty sure. But yeah, but they're less interesting. Like, the first book of Enoch is the one that's like really, it's the one that's like referred to and quoted in the Bible and like was very important for, I don't know, you guys can take the Michael Heiser pill if you want, and you can learn all about that stuff. But, Discrete Math was fun. You missed out, lol. Okay. You know what, actually, I think I took a Discrete Math class in high school. Come to think of it. Like, Discrete Math is, yeah, I may have. I totally forgot. So, hold on, let me pull something up. Oh, shoot. Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot. Okay, so Jimmy, let me type this out. So, Jimmy sends in some Monero and says, you are critical of the Pope and Catholicism, which I agree with. Why would you choose Eastern Orthodox over a conservative, high Anglican, I mean Protestantism is just a branch of Roman Catholicism. Okay, so that's all I got to say. Like, all of the things that the Catholic Church got wrong in the Middle Ages, like the paths that they went on theologically, they're conserved in Protestantism, okay. But at the same time, like the whole mechanization of salvation and all that kind of stuff, like whatever, little liturgical changes. And at the same time, like high church Protestantism, I will say that I just cannot, I don't really understand the people who do that kind of stuff, especially those who convert to it, because I think a lot of the times Protestants, like low church Protestants, like Baptists and stuff, they'll be like, oh, you know, I want something that's like a little more, I don't know, traditional, but you know, it's not like Baptist top 40 radio hits. So, oh, but yeah, Catholicism, you know, the Pope is stupid and Orthodoxy isn't even on their radar, right. So a lot of them will like convert to like some kind of conservative Lutheranism or like Anglicanism. The thing is like, I mean, think of it this way, like to say that that is part of the the unwavering church is to say that throughout the Middle Ages, as Catholicism was getting like worse and worse and like adding more heresies and creating all these things that the Reformers like reformed against, that was the true strand of the church. And I don't know, that's kind of silly. That's, I think mostly people are drawn to that kind of Protestantism because it's a little easier, it's a little more familiar, even though it has some garb of tradition. And I think like once you really seriously consider Orthodoxy, it's just not, I don't know, it's just not, it's not appealing. I don't know, like, and frankly, a lot of those high church Protestants, let's be real, are super liberal, like they're doing all this gay stuff. And I mean, it goes without, it almost goes without saying, right. So yeah, that's why I'm not really interested in that stuff. And then there's like Calvinism, where it's just like people who are like, it's just intellectual pornography. And people are debating about these issues that have nothing to do, like, it's like the people have never heard of like, I don't know, that might be with like Calvinism specifically, the people who obsess about like free will and determinism and all that kind of stuff is that it has nothing to do with the Christian faith. Okay, that whole debate, like that is basically a secular debate that you can have like academics nowadays, like philosophers nowadays, they have. But when it comes to religion, it is largely irrelevant. Like, yeah, God foreknows things. Okay, there's a sense in which he understands how things are going to happen. But it doesn't attract from free will if you actually, if you're a non materialist, right, that's not a problem whatsoever. Within the realm of materialism, if you think there's nothing but atoms, sure, you can say free will doesn't exist, but it's not anyway. What I'm trying to say though, is a lot of people who get like obsessed with Calvinism in particular, they're having these debates that are just not germane to actual like, I don't know, they're talking about something that no one else in Christianity cares about. And it's not really relevant, you know. Anyway, his question goes on. He says, also, what is the best method to buy land in rural places? What things should I look out for? Okay, so I need to do a video on this, I've been meaning to, I'll probably do it this next week. Okay, maybe I'll do it tomorrow, I'll record it tomorrow or something, as soon as I get the chance. But I'll go ahead and give you a preview. So, you can look online, but yeah, looking online is like the worst stuff in the world. So I'll go ahead and tell you this, when I moved, so when I found a place, I thought I was getting like a fantastic deal when I bought my land. Okay, I was like, oh my goodness, this is like so much cheaper than stuff in the city, I'm actually going to be able to buy this thing, like I'm going to be able to pay it off like, you know, it's going to be great, right? I thought I was getting a great deal, but here's what's going to happen. You're going to move to a place and as you actually meet people, as you like have a larger social circle, you are going to have connections and you're going to realize, oh wow, I could get this or that or that or that and most of this stuff in the real world is not going to show up on the internet, realistically speaking. Okay, that's just how it is. So my recommendation is, firstly, you have to travel to the places you're thinking about going to and this is what I did, like I remember I did videos actually when I was in Tennessee looking for land, right? And you know, you have to go there, you have to physically be there and it's actually better if you plant your roots and you figure out, you know, I'm going to live here for a little bit, I'm going to live here for one year and then figure out what to buy. That's actually the even better to do. Even if you have to rent, like get a super cheap place to rent. Okay, that's fine. Let's say you get a job, you try and get a job in the country, you say, hey, I'm thinking about moving out here, they're going to be like, oh my goodness, you have a college degree? Oh wow, you can be president, you know? So they're desperate in need of every school, every business, every public service or like government, they're all looking for jobs, okay? So you can get a job, you can locate yourself to a place and just spend time, get to know the people, go to church, meet the people at church, you know, I don't know, and opportunities will arise and that actually is the best place of where to find land. Once you've set yourself on a region, especially nowadays, I was looking the other day when I did my video, I was thinking about doing this video about talking about getting land when I, I don't know, a couple weeks ago when I did this video on like buying, buying, I forget exactly, you know, videos on that topic. But I actually kind of got blackpilled when I looked at land prices now, things are like twice as expensive as they were before. We might, we might be in, I don't know, a decrease in a significant crash in prices might be in the future sometimes soon, but either way, I kind of got blackpilled by the prices and I put off doing a video, but I would just recommend people don't fixate on things on the internet, go there in real life, just go, hey, go on vacation for a week or two, get to know people in town, right? That's the kind of stuff that you got to do, you got to physically put yourself there. You got to stop being like awkward on the internet, right? So that's the thing that everyone hates to hear if they're awkward on the internet, but that's how it is. That is how it is. Asriel says, what's your favorite JavaScript library for front end? Thoughts on WordPress versus Webflow? That people is a satirical comment, so we can all, hardy chuckle on that one. Anonymous sends in some XMR and says, have you heard of the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad? What do you think of it? I know that's like a Robert, some Japanese name, some Japanese dude, Robert Kiyosaki, I want to say. No, I mean, I'm aware that that book exists because like my boomer ex-girlfriend's dad read it and I think it had an impact on him and he started like, during the housing crash, he actually bought up a lot of properties, okay? And he was like, oh yeah, this book like changed my life or whatever, you know, I'm getting rich. I think he was a big fan. I don't know any, like I'm very skeptical of like boomer finance. I don't know if he's kind of, I don't know. I don't know if he's like that. I don't know what his recommendations are, so no endorsement. I don't know anything about it. No dis endorsement. I just, you know, skeptical boomer stuff. Luke Collins says, there's a nice abstract way of looking at programming languages and theoretical computer sciences, which ranks them in hierarchy, which is analogous to what Chomsky did for formal grammars. In fact, yeah, like, yeah. In fact, we still call it the Chomsky hierarchy. You probably heard of the term Turing complete. That's like the top level in this hierarchy. I know you're not a big fan of his. Have you ever come across Maltese in your study of linguistics? It's an interesting language, since it's the only somatic language that it uses the Latin alphabet, plus it has a lot of common, a lot in common with the Romance languages. Yeah, of course, I'm aware of the O in the field and like they're just, I don't know, they just kind of don't know what was happening. And so like modern linguists, basically, if you talk to about a Chomsky hierarchy around them, they will have no clue what you're talking about. They just have no clue. That's like your average linguist nowadays. They might know that the term is a term. They might like even name drop it, but they're not going to know what that means. I'll get it. That's honestly like a computer science term now because people don't even talk about it in linguistics anymore because like I mean, really, the problem with generative grammar is like it stopped it stopped doing formal analysis and now it pretends to be something different. It pretends to be something like psycholinguistic. But yeah, I'm familiar with Maltese. Actually, at Arizona, there were a bunch of people who did work on Maltese specifically for that reason because it uses the Latin alphabet despite being a language similar to Arabic with root and template morphology. So it's easier to do corpus analysis of it like a big data text analysis because it's easier to do that with Latin characters. So yeah, I'm familiar with, I'm aware, I never did work on it, but I'm aware of it. So Alex sends in some XMR. Do you have any advice for getting over someone? Oh, you mean like simping, simp advice. I'm recently within the past six months, friends again with an ex-girlfriend from several years ago. And I'm worried, I'm falling for her again. Yeah, no simping, dude. That's what do you mean, advice? Like, you shouldn't be around her. Like, if that's how you, if you're simping, like the whole like, let's be friends after we have a relationship, that is nonsense. Utter, like when you, that's why, that's why I'm so hard on people who like want to date, especially people in like their kind of friend. Like it's always going to be awkward and weird. Well, let's be realistic. Like if you're in a good Christian environment where you're not having sex, it's not a big deal. Okay. But if you are having sex, it is a big deal. Okay. That's really the dividing line. Like when you have a sexual relationship with someone outside of marriage, you have to realize that if it doesn't work with them, you are burning that bridge with them forever. You will never have a normal relationship with them afterwards. That's just how it is. Okay. So yeah, I mean, the advice, the only advice, obviously, I can give you is just get over it. And that people don't want to hear that. That's the advice that people want to hear least, even though it's like, you know, what are you going to do? It's like the just be confident bro advice. But yeah, physically separate yourself from her. Don't don't. Yeah, don't let yourself do that. That's pathetic. You should surround yourself with someone who's going to make fun of you for doing that. You can actually imagine me making fun of you whenever you're simping for this girl. Okay. That'll help you just be confident, bro. Just be better, bro. Don't be worse. Yeah, exactly. I mean, here's what people hate to hear. Okay. People hate to hear the fact that the solution to most of their life problems are right in front of them. And they could solve them at basically any point. That's what people hate to hear. They want to make their problems more complicated than they actually are. Because that justifies not doing anything about them. And again, do I do this? Oh, yeah, I do this. Absolutely. I do this. Right. And I should be making fun of myself for it. Okay, when I do it. But basically your life is not so much overcoming external things. A lot of times it's like you overcoming your own coping, dude. You got to get over that. Does Starlink cut out a lot? I have noticed that Starlink is cutting out significantly less in this livestream than it has in previous livestreams. So how do people feel about that? Have I been talking a lot and like parts go out? I don't even know. You should program a Siri equivalent with your voice giving unsolicited chide to soy devs. Okay. There really does need to be like an open source, a bunch of open source language tools that don't exist, including speech synthesis. There might be, I know there's like e-speak, but that's I mean, the default voices sound like crap. I mean, it's not cutting out on my side. It's been green basically the entire livestream. There are probably one or two times where it like stopped being green. So from my side, it looks like the internet's pretty good today. How much money did you spend on books on the shelves? Yeah, that is my vice for many years of my life. Like my one consume product thing was buying books. I like, you know me, like I'd be like, brah, I'm not going to spend $5 on a meal. That's way too much. I'm going to save that. But then I'd be like, oh, this book sounds interesting. Let me spend $20 on it. Actually, no, I buy all my books from eBay, so they're as cheap as possible. But I guess the more expensive ones can be around 20 bucks. Yeah, I've spent a lot of money over the, I mean, a lot of quote unquote, a lot of money. I mean, probably there was a, I haven't bought books. I will say this, I haven't bought books really in the past like two years or so. I bought basically zero because I'm pretty happy with what I have. I think maybe this year, maybe I bought like one or two, just small ones that don't cost much. But yeah, there have been periods in my life where I definitely spend more money on books than I do on clothes. I think most people probably spend a couple hundred bucks a year on, you know, clothing. I would, there are probably periods in my life where I'd spend that on books. But it's not like that much, you know, it's just a little bit. It adds up, you know, I'm like, oh man, I spent like a month of rent on books this year or something. I don't know if it's, I've never actually done a count of how much I've spent on them, but I always felt like I'd spent a lot of money on them. So, but you know, it's not like all at once it should have been like gradually every two weeks, I'll be like, oh yeah, this sounds good. I'll spend a little on that. But as I said, like I'm pretty happy with what I have now. I haven't, you know, built that much more. Luke Collins says, in Malta where I live, schools are trying to transition to co-ed. What's your opinion about mixing genders in schools? I went to an all-boy school all my life. Yeah, I think it's a, in general, I mean, I don't think there's a massive difference, but in general, I think it's definitely better not to have co-ed. I think it's infinitely better to have a boy school and a girl school, because boys and girls in real life, again, this is something that like people in the West hate to hear, boys and girls are dramatically different. And even from young ages, like they need to be catered to in a different way. And the strategy in Western countries now is to like feminize education to the maximum degree, like just have the like most trivial, girly organized assignments, and then like humiliating assignments that are like quirky, and like just stuff that men or even little boys will hate and cringe at, you know? Like if you, if you as a man did not go through elementary school just cringing at everything you're, I mean maybe in elementary school, you probably just do it, right? You don't care. But I think as I got into like fourth grade, fifth grade, middle school, I was like, why are they making us do all this stupid humiliating stuff? Like these are just cringe assignments. Like men and women, like they just look at things differently. And I think by the same token, obviously like no normal man wants to like teach freaking elementary school. Like that's a girl thing to want to do. There are some guys who can do it, but like male teachers are just better like for teaching men. And honestly, I think a lot of times they're better for teaching girls as well. Sometimes that might just be because like when, well I'll say anecdotally, most kids I've talked to, they always prefer male teachers, especially when they're in elementary school. But I don't know if that's just because they're like novel. Oh wow, I got a male teacher. But I do, I think there is something to be argued that like once you get to, you know, third, fourth, fifth grade, like you definitely need more kind of male authority as opposed to like younger grades, you know, I don't know. It's more like a female thing. But definitely in high school, I don't know. Well, I mean, I've met plenty of girls who are good at, you know, great at high school teaching or whatever. But I think everyone understands that kind of scale. Then you get in the college level where it's just, you know, it's not even worth talking about. Austra Asian says, Ayn Rand was right when she said women can't reason. That's like all all cretions are liars. Ayn Rand says all women are morons. That's very funny. Is she right? Yeah, I don't know. Or it's like Ann Coulter, like women, Ann Coulter saying women shouldn't be involved in politics. Where's the lie? All right, kids don't have dads at least give them male teachers. Yeah, I could never be an elementary school teacher. I could never do that in my life. I could never do that. Luke, what do you think about not having sex till marriage? Yeah, that's how everyone should do it. Schools are childcare and obedience. Do as you're told. Don't try and understand. They get you prepared to be slaves is all. Yeah, I mean, that's basically true. But I mean, I'm talking about in the idealistic world, right? I mean, realistically speaking, school is nowadays to make you a wager to like the way that I would look at like grade school is it's kind of like like the cartoons that kids watch. So cartoons are okay. So, you know, there's like episodic cartoon, wait, I always get them confused. Like, so there are some shows where like advancement happens every episode. And then there are some where like everything like there's no linear trail that it's the same stuff. Every episode is like one story. And everything ends exactly where it started, right? So if you look at children's cartoons, all of them are like that. They're all like there's no progress, you know what I mean? It's the same thing over and over and over again. And I think we underestimate the sense in which that affects how children look at the world. And it's the same way in school. Okay, it's like there's during the course of school, you have these assignments that you just do. There's no like, they're not really, I mean, they're just kind of in themselves, they're not building on anything else, you're not accomplishing anything other than oh, now I'm done with this grade, right? There's no like, because you're doing made up assignments that don't have anything to do with the real world, it really ingrains in people this totally impotent view of the world where they are powerless. They can't do anything because everything is just the same over and over and over again. And when people, we were talking about this just a second ago, when people say, oh, why can't I get motivated? Why can't I blah, blah, blah, that mindset comes from the fact that from the day you were born, you were given this view of the world where you don't affect it. Okay, you're just do, you do what you're told to do. You can't affect the world. So the the only place for you is not self-employment, it's like you getting a job where someone tells you what to do. Okay, so that I think the modern mindset is significantly shaped by children's media, children's education, and a lot of it does instill this like, this repeating and miserable, like at the time, you might not think it's miserable, but it does instill a kind of apathy, right? And that's why kids think that like, when they're young, it's going to last forever. That's one of the reasons they feel like that because, oh, well, look at, look at my favorite cartoon, I don't know, Hey Arnold, I don't know what kids watch nowadays. I have no, definitely not Hey Arnold. Oh, not Rugrats. I'm trying to think of recess. That's one that my brother's age of kids watched, but like shows where nothing happens, like that's their model for the world. So it gives them this view of the world where none of their actions matter. They can't affect anything. And they just have to respond to things that are given to them. Okay. Yeah, they watch YouTube now. Yeah, I guess. It is the same stuff over and over again. Right. Let's see. Let's see what I don't know the Paul brothers are doing. I don't know why I use them as an example, just because it's like the only YouTuber I know that normies watch, like the Logan Paul and Jake Paul thoughts on Nick Land. I have literally no thoughts on Nick Land. Weirdly enough, he's like the one guy in that sphere I never read. I don't even know if you asked me what was, you know, I know he has this kind of like acceleration of stuff, but I'm not even, I really just don't know. I never read his stuff. Like that's all I can say. I don't have opinions on him. Some I will say sometimes people talk about his acceleration and it sounds kind of screwy to me, but I don't know enough about it to be like, okay, this is stupid that he says, you know, because again, I haven't read his stuff. Scooby-Doo. Yeah, I like Scooby-Doo. School taught me about social hierarchy. School taught me about a lot of red-pilled stuff, but that was not part of the curriculum. I guess we talked about where I grew up in the last, in the last episode, the last live stream, but I mean, the place I grew up was not like the hood. It was just weird. I think we were talking about my middle school that was like, you know, 10% white or something like that. But I learned a lot about the world. Okay, let's see. What's my favorite show? I think you know that answer. Imagine watching TV. You know me. I'm just anti-fun. I can't have, I'm just against it. Can't have any fun. Don't watch TV. Don't play more video games. Nickelodeon used to be five cent for movies and shows a long time ago. Inflation adjusted to about a hundred dollars. Wow. Many such cases. Your vid's on rural living inspired me to move out of the city. Good. It's great. It's good. It's pretty good. Okay. Oh, I gotta get my phone to look at that one. I think it's a cash app or something. Okay. So, Logan says, how's the family? Any IRL projects you're filling up your time with? Well, both of those are questions that I don't answer. Actually, let's see. IRL projects that I could tell you about. I don't know. I'm kind of private about stuff like family stuff. But yeah, I don't know. IRL projects, nothing super interesting to be honest. I'm actually just trying to enjoy the summer because a lot of, I'm trying to take some time to do stuff with people because a lot of people are off work because they're a lot of teachers around here. So, I don't have any big projects. My garden this year was a disaster. I'll say that because I was out of town for like two months. And so, like right now, the only thing left is like, I think there are a couple of watermelons and some okra that like never actually grew okra. I don't know why, but no, no, no big projects. My family's fine though. I'm not gonna give you specifics though. I think my internet's out. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Okay. No, I think it went. Where did my, okay, there it is. I didn't want to drink it. I had this one because this one's almost empty. Do you carry guns? I do not have a gun on me right now on my person. I don't need a gun right now. Do you have favorite science fiction? I read so little fiction that basically no. I think the fictional artists or artists, authors that I've read could basically be counted on one hand like Jorge Luis Borges, Lovecraft. I've read both all the stuff that they've written. Who else have I read? But that's usually how it is. There are other authors, but basically what I'll do, I'll just find one guy who's stuff I kind of like and I'll read everything by him and then I don't really read science fiction or any genre. I kind of read, I guess, by person, not by topic and I'm not super interested in science fiction. I've read some Heinlein stuff but I'm not a massive fan or a Philip K. Dick as well. I'm not a massive, like some of his stuff is kind of interesting but you know that's why they make movies out of it but it took me a lot and for the first 25 years of my life I never read any fiction whatsoever. I should say that. It was only, I don't know why I just decided, like I actually in my 20s one, maybe people who know, well I don't know if people who knew me would even recognize this but if you could see into my brain, my mindset changed so much from like 15 to where I am now. Like and basically it was always just me getting less autistic. And I don't mean that in a bat as if like being autistic is bad but I mean like I was way more like analytical whereas now like I'm militantly like meta-analytical. I'm like I don't even trust my own brain sometimes you know. Say, I basically read all of Brandon Sanderson and Wayne Kofler. Yeah, I hit a girlfriend who was massive on Brandon Sanderson. She was like huge. She read like all of his stuff all the time and like I think once or twice she I was like so tell me about the lore of this and she just like went on for an hour and I was like well I don't remember any of that but okay. So yeah I don't know. Some of that stuff like I guess also the fiction that I've read is mostly short stories because I'm kind of intimidated by really long books because honestly with fiction I just don't have an attention span. I need to get less autistic on it. Well I think the thing about me being less autistic as time went on it was like just kind of happened. It wasn't like oh I'm gonna decide to be different. I don't know if it was my brain growing up or like me you know stop is probably me stop eating like soy foods and processed foods and start drinking water out of a well instead of fluoridated crap. I don't know. I will say I may have said this in a live stream years ago but I do feel when I started drinking water out of a well like from the ground basically spring water I do feel like my persona changed a good bit like I became more I don't want to say I want to maybe like uncompromising like I was probably more docile when I used to drink fluoridated water but the thing is I don't know maybe that's just me looking at the past and I don't know thinking things are different my internet I can't stream okay so Luke sends in another two dollars I remember one stream you said you had a few hot takes on personal hygiene what are your thoughts on deodorant and anti-perspirant what about brushing teeth I heard a few fluoride related tin foil hat theories on the ladder so uh when it comes to deodorant I absolutely do not use it what I use is and I this is something I got from like Roosh V years ago that I like randomly read before I ever I don't know really even before you even became like a Christian um but he used baking soda like use baking soda instead of deodorant it sounds nutty but you get one box of baking soda for like two or three dollars it's gonna last you for years and years just take a little bit put some water around it and put it under your arms and um that will like just totally kill all smells uh you know I mean if you get really close it'll smell a little like baking soda but no one's gonna notice that like you're not gonna gonna notice it um and that's great for deodorant anti-perspirant there's no freaking weird chemicals this is baking soda uh I will say I've had some friends who said that it's hard for them to do that because I think some it has something to do with the acidity of your arms but if you put it on the first time and you're itching or something like or you break out I mean you know I don't know if well you probably put too much um but for most for me it's it's fantastic like since I heard that like I read that on like Roosh's blog like years ago and it's like that's freaking insane and weird and then I tried it and I was like I have never looked back I've so I've never bought deodorant since I'm never going to um and honestly I do feel like people wear deodorant way too much I think on days where I'm not going to be out and sweating I will not wear it if I've like bathed recently um and that's like a personal thing like if you're more sweaty like if you're if you're like Roosh and you're like more like near eastern um and you like sweat more you got more hair more body odor like you might you might need to do that but like for lower body odor people that's you know it's pretty easy to go without using deodorant all the time okay hello can you hear me can you hear me all right all right looks like it's going so on brushing teeth uh yeah I will also say brushing teeth is basically for removing sugar like if you if you have a high sugar diet you will realize that after you eat sugar you're gonna need to brush your teeth if you don't eat sugar brushing your teeth is basically I don't want to say entirely superfluous but it's mostly superfluous because that's most mostly what you're doing is you're removing that stuff that like bacteria is going to eat and like eat your teeth um so like if you have a low sugar diet which you should brushing teeth is less necessary although I will say like there have been plenty times times in my life where I have like a super low sugar diet and I floss more than I brush my teeth it's definitely uh it is definitely one of those things that you know and and when I do brush my teeth I usually use like the kind of baking soda arm and hammer stuff which theoretically does have fluoride fluoride but um I don't know I'm not super picky about toothpaste right now maybe I should be but crypto I like sins and some xmr and says PayPal is apparently letting you withdraw crypto I think it might help me uh I think it might help me get normies pay me in bts uh bch or litecoin and then convert to Monero do you think this will impact crypto usage well I mean if people use it that's enter I haven't heard of that I know that I heard I've heard that PayPal's like flirting with crypto stuff but um of course it'd be better if you know they just let you redeem it in Monero but uh uh I mean anything helps I'm sure I'm sure it would help a little bit um so Luke says again speaking of autism I get into arguments frequently with people on the fact that things like the spectrum ADHD dyslexia etc. aren't rigorously defined scientifically it's not like you can do an MRI and get a diagnosis for Aspergers you just sit in a room with a guy with a clipboard for 15 minutes even though it's worthwhile to observe certain traits correlate with high uh correlate high intelligence social awkwardness etc these these fields uh tend to use medical terms like diagnosis and end up putting people in proverbial boxes and these are precisely the sort of people to whom doing something like that does more harm to good in my opinion yeah I mean I think that's doubtless I think and and the other thing is like and people at least say autism is a spectrum which is true like it's like there's no there's no cutoff it's just like this is a personality I don't know constellation right and people are talking about it as if it's uh I don't know yeah I totally agree I've done videos on this I did that video years ago that's like you're not autistic you're normal or something like that where actually is that even on that I know I kind of talk about autism and like some people with real autism like extreme autism will post on that video like I don't get it this is not about autism I don't understand can you please explain this for me um so but yeah dyslexia ADHD is like if you don't have ADHD you're freaking I don't know what's wrong with you I guess I guess you were born wagey or something if you don't have ADHD or ADD or whatever um that's just called being a normal human you know personality constellation like a horoscope yeah just like a horoscope okay uh internet seems to be working I'm gonna check on the chat see if there's someone saying anything interesting uh Luke new tip you can use pound sign instead of slash when using said so you can remove single slash yeah I mean you can do that with any character I usually use pipe if I'm using an alternative character but yeah yeah you can do that a lot of people don't because they just see people use slashes all the time um look at my bad posture oh I got a J pose oh J posing yeah and I gotta put my thumbs forward actually yeah my back does hurt so anonymous in Cincinnati um you talk about normie spending so much you your talk about normie spending so much reminding me of my roommate he's going to school to be a doctor and has said to his other med school friend but family doctors only make 180k on average well that's kind of funny what are you gonna say yeah that that is one like doctors if you if you actually I guess doctor being a doctor has to be a calling because like to make any amount of at that point like if you're making 180 um or I don't know I don't know what like a doctor working in a hospital makes I'm gonna assume let's assume it's like half a million dollars or a quarter of a million dollars I don't know who knows um but like that lifestyle where you're just waging all the time and that's your life that would be a freaking it's like what what's the money even going to what are you gonna spend your money you know I don't know that's funny so some people are like I mentioned Sam Hyde earlier in this video and like his how different his financial advice is from mine like he's one of those bro you gotta be making making money all the time I'm not gonna I'm not gonna waste my time you know spending 30 minutes to save $500 because my time is worth more than that you know that that kind of stuff um just that whole lifestyle seems so stressful you know I don't know maybe maybe they're built for it and I'm not like I'm just not interested in that but I like I like the ability if the old lady down the street texts me and says I need you to move this box Luke can you move it okay I like being able to do that like and I feel like I would be a sociopath and I said no I mean my time like my time's worth you know around $2,000 an hour so you better pay up I mean frankly because I'm a busy dude look at all the stuff I got a youtube channel I could be recording videos right now like I could be you know doing stuff on github I could be writing software like I'm very important you know like I would I would just feel like an absolute idiot like a fool if not not just a bad person but also if I were actually that busy I would just feel it'd be a miserable life I don't know how people could do that but whatever if you want to be a doctor and you work all the time that's fine whatever that's cool that's cool and I understand why you would make so much for that but yeah 180 to be a family doctor if that's really that's a lot more than I expected but um that's cool yeah people people say that's oh yeah sigma male grind set I'm actually a boomer I probably said this in a stream uh I didn't know the like sigma male grind set meme like I had to be like my brother had to explain that to me one day I was like what what is sigma what is the sigma male stuff and it basically is you do something embarrassing or stupid or obnoxious and then you're like yeah say sigma grind set bra I'm doing I'm doing it my way I don't even understand this is just like some kind of whatever my brother used the example oh yeah bride yeah I just took a dump in my pants in public but whatever sigma grind set man uh the memes are very funny to me now uh looks like where'd my phone go where'd my telephone go uh Logan says um uh the internet connection has been fine the whole time never noticed blips oh well that's amazing plus side to adhd die diagnosis is the sweet sweet wait and then it ends maybe maybe the message goes on but it's now i'm getting like all these texts from normies uh gotta decide what to cook for tomorrow oh what is this oh shoot oopsie there's something oh wait no sorry gotta do i haven't checked my phone all day so i realized i have all these messages sorry from normie i don't i don't want to be an incel and look at my cell phone all the time uh i just all these people like wow why weren't you responding sorry normies what one the worst thing that having a youtube channel ever did to me um is before i used to be a total simp for responding to text messages like i would always be i'd be that guy i'd respond i was super punctual i didn't want to leave any ambiguity i would always be the last guy to say okay see you tomorrow or like i'd always you know i'd always give closure to every conversation you know what i mean now it's like overseas and it's because like when i started my youtube channel started getting so many comments and i started getting so many emails i just got used to like ignoring things and not feeling too bad about it but when it's people in real life i i i should feel bad because i'm i'm basically doing what i said a second ago that you know well not exactly but like where it's like bro my time's important but of course i don't actually believe that it's just like you know i i forget to answer my phone you know um let's see eight o'clock take a dump eight eight thirty rise from bed sigma grind set yep hey i need to turn on my ac i always turn my ac off during my live stream so it doesn't make sounds that that's that's actually not a sigma grind set thing that's like a neurotic i'm gonna turn it on because i don't i don't care hey it's too loud you're just gonna have to put up with this sigma grind set okay i'm gonna turn that thing on because i'm getting a little warm in here that's right you guys probably can't even hear it i don't know it doesn't matter either way uh how many since in two australian dollars should we fork society and civilization i mean every sensible person is already doing that you know i was i was gonna save that one for later gonna save gonna save that hot take for later hey uh by the way i'm randomly reminded based on a long train of uh related things in my head that just went through them uh if nagged justin murphy to do the interview with me that we've said we we're gonna do like for years because he said he was gonna come out he's gonna come visit me or we're gonna meet up somewhere we're gonna do something so if you're a justin murphy person nag him about that just don't don't say i sent you just just be like brah you know just do that i actually saw a video on his channel the other day and like people are like when are you gonna interview luke but uh anyway uh luke wherever an atheist or non christian yes for like 10 cringe years of my life like when when my life was like wrong when i was doing everything well that's that's not totally wrong but like you know marcio says is democracy a pipe dream is it impossible to fix it yeah i don't know you you're still holding out hope for democracy i mean the thing is it's not that i think that democracy doesn't live to its ideals i wouldn't want it to live to its ideals anyway like democracy is fundamentally like it is it is ruled by rumor mill it's ruled by consent of everyone else it's like you don't have rights unless other unless like normies i don't know if unless normies have like not been nudged to like hate you for some reason you know it's it's stupid like there's no ideal i don't i i've never been a proponent of democracy as like a voting method or a method of political control i think it's delusional a lot of people will use the term democracy in like kind of jeffersonian democracy i mean well you have to be clear about this like 300 years ago democracy meant something really different like when a lexus to tokeville wrote democracy in america when he was using the term democracy that meant something pretty specific it was like in america they don't have social class like they don't have aristocrats and like different you know that doesn't exist now of course we have social class in a you know in an incidental way and there's like i mean we all know there is a social stratum a social strata in every society but to tokeville's point is it's not formalized like it's not like oh this is you have to be of this class to join that and you only get these privileges then right so democracy had a very different meaning back then and when he's taught when he's writing democracy in america which is actually a fantastic book to read i actually don't own that book because it's pretty i think i have like an abridged version that's this big i think the real thing is beefy um but it's a really well-written book in like early america um it was like this fringe guy who came to america that that jeffersonian democracy is actually somewhat close to the things that i advocate in in some ways uh where it's like personal independence like property ship you know property ownership and things like that um so the term is harry and nowadays like what democracy is um and this is very simple democracy is ruled by the opinion molding class okay because formally speaking the people quote-unquote vote to elect people but of course people are a manipulatable you know like by themselves they don't have enough political power to do anything their vote share is so small so who does have powers the people that can move who can engineer opinion right so democracy like when the when the when like the media used to say things like oh wow trump won this is a disaster for democracy right that that's literally true because democracy means the rule by the media the rule by universities by the opinion molding class the yada yada yada yada right um so and that that's what the term actually means and that's not like i mean what it means in in natural i don't know uh inevitable results right so uh when i talk about democracy that's what i mean there um and the the whole the word association game of let's associate like good fuzzy words with democracy is kind of um i mean it's not serious because when you sit down and look at it it's it's a system and it's a system that is basically the easiest system to exploit um so whatever yeah democracy stupid uh that goes with that i mean like i don't know who is pro democracy nowadays i don't know normies basically normies that that's like the um i'm trying to think of a meme that sums that up but there are memes like that uh all right let me check my mail so uh luke again says when people talk about rationally about religion i e excuse okay um e.g. justifying beliefs to satisfy some Darwinian thing doesn't that act to subvert the beliefs be practicing catholics uh but they talk about their own religion as if it's some kind of societal phenomenon that arose the same way that Dawkins describes it um it seems like cognitive dissonance to me but i don't know well so i mean in christian theology obviously well in the western church there's a very explicit tradition of like natural law okay and natural theology but even like in the bible right so you know in the first chapter of romans obviously paul talks about the fact that like basically everyone in the world has some implicit like there there is a sense in which everyone understands like moral law okay that like that's not something that comes specifically from some religious tradition like there is a sense in which yeah there is like a Darwinian quote let's not say Darwinian let's say like a kind of sociobiological or maybe um like there's a difference between social and antisocial behavior you know like there are reasons for that independent of specific divine commands and i don't that i don't think that that is contrary i see where you're coming from we're just saying oh if we didn't have that there'd be a much greater reliance on um like religion explicitly but i don't think that's i i think we need to disambiguate um things that are that that that are kind of natural law things this is not to like give my endorsement of like natural law theory uh in general but i think it's a legitimate concept to talk about like there are some things that um you know you can sit down with very simple moral premises and reach kind of sensible conclusions inevitably without needing to refer to specific religions or anything like that i don't think that's i don't think that's like too questionable um and obviously like atheists have written on this um uh Dawkins is a modern like i mean there there were people earlier and in uh you know that like earlier american atheists and stuff like back in the 1800s or whatever um but yeah i don't think that undercuts religion at all uh or the need for religion because like really like the other screwy thing well let's talk about this um there's this idea and this is what liberals do nowadays liberals will try to like make morality this culture specific thing like they'll try and say that oh marriage is something that like christians made up and like they forced it on other cultures like i don't know why why is it in china i don't know they forced it on them or something uh or like all of these things that they don't like if oh what wow transgenderism is something that we made up oh that's just like a christian thing oh no no that that that's totally uh yeah the christian notion that men and women are different you'll see that kind of talk with them all the time and it's kind of similar there is this tendency for them to um like totally detether morality from reality um and if anything when you're saying something like oh morality like there is no natural law or there's nothing similar to natural law that you're kind of feeding into that um so anyway i think i i think there's another i don't think that's a no yeah okay so um logan said uh oh show once said oh yeah this is a favor this is a this is a hilarious quote that you can look up oh show once said democracy basically means you got you got to see the original video for this democracy basically means government by the people of the people for the people but the people are retarded uh and then he goes on to say which he doesn't include in this because it's probably not long enough therefore democracy is rule of the retarded for the retarded by the retarded which is true so but it does miss the i mean the the bigger point is not that people are stupid the bigger point is that stupid people are manipulatable by the powers that be so like the media or the information molding class they can mold opinions in the way that they want and they functionally are the leaders the people who run society right uh okay so bucky's merch you know luke when not if you get a sponsorship with buckys uh to make t-shirts with them you should include your website links in the poopy fashion like on your stream wow that's a great idea like like this yeah whoa um like the luke smith xyz and some peculiar color like cyan blue under the bucky's logo on a red shirt uh i will be the first one to buy yes i need this we need i need a bucky's picture i need to meme this corporate sponsorship into reality does anyone out here has to work for buckys someone has to be high up on buckys can someone please get me a bucky's sponsorship i okay sorry we're all unemployed here you guys need to get jobs at buckys okay if you want to wait if you want to wage cook go work for buckys buckys has got to be based they they actually have signs out there that say they're i don't know paying 15 at a minimum so you you wage you start now go work for buckys you know get to know your manager get talk to him about me getting a bucky's sponsorship i will wear buckys merch in every single video as long as i get it free you know i mean that that's well i i'm gonna be on the payroll of buckys i'm gonna be shilling buckys merch uh for people who don't know buckys is like a giant gas station in america that's basically what it is of course to even call it a gas it's it's somewhere between a gas station and a mall it's it's hard to explain and there are very few of them they're like a dozen of them but like they're on these interstates and they have like five million gas pumps it's like somewhere it's like it's hard to explain it's like something from another dimension it's like if america like someone trying to make a stereotype of america like in a dream like i have these weird dreams okay i'll tell you some kind of recurring dreams that i have um they're basically like america core dreams and buckys could theoretically be a part of this but i'll have these dreams where i'm in what's kind of like a shopping mall or it's really like just imagine like a massive like the entire planet is filled not with skyscrapers but more like just interiors of of like shopping mall kind of businesses and like they're all kind of like glowing stuff and like you're walking all over the place i will have dreams that take place in places like that which is weird because i'm like the last i never go shopping you know what i mean this is not a place i'm at but it's like ingrained in my psyche and they're very difficult to explain or i'll have dreams i'll go to the bathrooms in these places and they'll just be like toilets as far as the eye can see like this is the kind of dreams that i have where it's just like i don't know but i feel buckys is like the same thing it's like it's like that for gas stations like you go inside and it's like this extreme mall of like merch and like they have all this food and it's just i don't know play it's it's so weird i don't know heck and liminal bucky's core yeah yeah america core that needs to be a thing it's hard to like i wish if i were an artist i would want to put this on pay i wish i could explain to an artist i if someone is looking for this i need to sit down with people and we need to get this out there because i feel if it's ingrained in my psyche it will resonate with other people it's it's difficult to explain everyone's saying liminal it's heck and liminal i i only just discovered that word like last week um but it is very liminal but it's like not it's it it's not fully because i'll have these dreams where i'm like going on missions through like it's like part shopping mall part university part i don't know high school it's hard to explain it's like i don't know man watch the back room series on youtube luke trigger warning yeah as i said i found this liminal stuff last week and i haven't looked at stuff like that up on youtube but i'm gonna i'm gonna pull that out i'm gonna back room like i'm gonna guess that it's more like vacant stuff and my dreams are not like that they're more like um yes it's not quite like that it's more it's it's like lived in place like it people are there but it's just the architecture of it it's just like if you took the architecture of like kind of a mall and just made a massive building covering the planet that just has you know stairs going in and out and like i don't know it's like it's kind of like an escher painting and like uh it's weird it's i'm talking about something totally insane does anyone feel like this does anyone like have dreams like this i don't know this is like article you know people said that like uh back in the black and white era people used to have dreams in black and white because it affected the way they looked at the world i feel like this is the same thing for for modern like consumerism has affected my psyche to such a degree that i model the architecture and my brain after it what about stuckie stuckie sucks like if you go to buckies you will never you will never know buckies and stuckies they nothing not stuckies has nothing on buckies stuckies is like this big buckies is like a palace it's like an americor palace and stuckies is just a gas station backroom buckies backroom liminal buckies b-sauce video moment yeah i do sometimes wish that like you could share your dreams with someone else like show them the experience of it because my dreams are sometimes very i don't know they're just they're they really are artistic like that's the only way i can describe it my dreams are extremely artistic they usually don't have like plots in them which is weird because i'm not a very artistic guy like i think of myself as more like a rational person but i will have these dreams that are very like it's difficult to explain kind of difficult to explain and my dream self is very i don't know i don't know this is different uh so luke says me again uh this is a work credit card i'm using how's the web ring uh coming along i'm going to do a couple more hugo videos and then i'll talk about the web ring i think the software is going fine i'm just so i'm just gonna like i think it'll work i can probably go ahead and put it up uh so it will just be when i do a video on it and so again i'll probably do hugo videos i'm going to put out a short code uh for people in my web ring that can just like you know add that to the website if they're making their stuff in hugo of course you don't have to use hugo to use the web ring but um not all my sites use hugo lindy press still doesn't lindy press is still dynamically made um there is a way of doing sites like that like sales sites in i know that kai hindry has some kind of static site generator uh or like he has this system for hugo for doing like online sales sites i might move over to something like that but i've this whole year i've been meaning to rewrite that site but i just haven't like i've been busy but yeah i will be doing the web ring thing that i'm pretty happy with the software that there is uh i'm probably gonna have to go pee i'm probably gonna have to pee uh let me read this one dry grass says 20 gay pursuing land dwelling dwelling in true union attractive but remaining celibate for life how to cope with being gay explicitly non-digital i mean you could get married to a woman like every other like dispositionally homosexual man before the modern era or it's not that it's not that difficult um why did you take down your serks i took it down a million years ago yeah i mean um um yeah i mean that was a normal thing for people to do like like a lot of these guys who had like homosexual like tendencies back in the day they just get married to women i mean i don't know if you're like disgusted by women or something but um you know unless you're gonna be a monastic it's either get married or be a monastic um those are basically the best i mean those are the those are the two life paths okay like i don't know what to tell you um but yeah i mean that that's not something that i've dealt with so i can't really um explain that but i will say like women like women are hard to deal with like socially obviously like in terms of how they they work and think but as you get older i don't know i kind of feel like i'm not gonna say that people are gonna like laugh at me for that one i'm not gonna say that but i've been withdrawing a lot of my comments on this stream but uh i don't want them to sound too funny all right i got i have to go to the bathroom i gotta go i'll be right back i'll be right back i'll the yeah you can watch you can watch a liminal luke core while i'm gone that's what you're watching yeah very liminal take off my shirt because uh i didn't put on uh i didn't put on my baking soda today so i just wiped off my sweat a little bit okay i want to go back to the thing that the guy said he was like gay um so also it depends on when you say you're gay depends on what you mean by that right so are you like um uh because here's here's my view there are some dudes who are who basically have like homosexual temptations since they were like young okay and that's probably harder but i do think there's a significant number of zoomers nowadays who are gay because like basically they just watched a lot of porn and they like chafe themselves to everything else and they're just like generally perverted okay frankly so i don't if you're one of those that sounds worse but if you're one of those like it might be easier to get back to kind of like normalcy you know what i mean but i'm not assuming that you're one or the other like the thing is like since i'm sorry i don't know i don't know if there's some like gay dude out there who you could like some some guy who's like struggled with like homosexual temptation i now didn't father seraphim rose wasn't he like a homosexual at some point in his life before he converted the orthodoxy i don't even remember i i feel like he was but like i feel like that is a a sin very specific that you have to talk to someone who's familiar with that because like someone like me like dude i i don't know i don't know what it's like i have no clue i have no like that is just not like i've been tempted by weird stuff but not that okay so that's all i can say so i wish i could be more helpful and i hope everyone prays for you but i can't i cannot myself cannot give you um like perfect advice on that because i'm not i'm not qualified um because i ain't gay but uh all right let's see um luke again wow luke is like giving a million uh a million two dollar donations we're probably at least up to ten dollars or maybe maybe fifteen uh he says what is the payment system you've set up on lindeypress.net is it just fospay or is it something but no it's not so fospay is just the okay i'll read the rest of this or is it something built on top of that i'm test i'm tempted to set up a book site for latin mass missiles i made in tech any advice about getting started on the business so the company that does um fospay oh actually the company that does most you know fiat credit card transactions is called stripe okay um and so that's what basically everyone uses and they have an api so theoretically fospay and lindeypress they're running a similar system but it's not it's not running on fospay like that's a fospay is just the front end that generates api calls on stripe where you can send in you know money right and lindeypress is similar okay so uh but yeah you you would like stripe is usually what people use you could use paypal but paypal absolutely 100 sucks uh and you should not use paypal don't yeah don't don't even consider it because they're apis trash and uh there probably are some other companies but stripe is the most common so just look that up not to be confused with strike which is that bitcoin company ben sends in some x mark what thing pad do you use and why is it not a core booted t4 40 well i use a core boot or i use a lever booted t400 which is better which is actually so i don't know i told you i was going to do a video on this but i'll give the preview so one of the guys who works on um uh lever boot uh sent me this computer it's very nice now here's the cool thing it's x it's a t400 but the nice thing is he actually modded this out he he it's like what he called quad modded um it has uh well it has a quad uh processor whatever and he actually drilled you know he has that was like some extra like vents and stuff for that um so that is what i use and it is lever booted not core booted lever booted is much better of course if you can use that on a machine i don't think that the t4 40 is lever bootable um because basically you need a core 2 duo processor this is why you need the you well you don't need but you might want a quad mod on this just because oh it's kind of an older processor so this keeps up it does very well uh and i'll do a video on it and the guy's side will go ahead and give it to you it's thonk peasant dot xyz thonk peasant dot xyz that's his website and he has a little store there where you can get uh lever booted computers from him um and again i think i'm pretty sure he's one of the um lever boot developers um so oh my internet is broken thoughts on lifting i heard creatine supplements is what caused your hair loss i don't know where the heck you heard that because that is a million percent not true i've never taken any of that kind of crap it doesn't look like i work out like seriously look i don't know do you even lift yeah i don't know if he fell for a meme or if he's meming me right now uh portiel says i'm gonna be involved in neuroscience research but i don't see a way forward without college would anyone take someone seriously without a phd i mean again this is you this is someone asked me about this i forget what it was it's like i i'm set on working in academia how can i how can i not have college it's like firstly i'll go ahead and tell you you're not going to have a good time if you're working in a college you're not it's not what you think it is not at all what you think and it's getting worse by the year that's all i can say and if i had said this to myself back when i was doing my masters i probably would have like made up some stupid cope for not listening and i know that most people are not going to listen because everything around them is telling them to like get more and more degrees um but yeah like getting getting this highly specialized quote-unquote skill that's not even a skill it's like something that's like dependent on the particular institutional and scientific structure of society right now and the fact that you you know universities just get billions for doing nothing all day okay um like if you're training for a skill if you're gonna spend like 15 years of your life training for a skill that's going to be useful there and nowhere else you're wasting that 15 years that's all i can say um so if you want to if you want to try it anyway and you want to you know see if you can do it without hurting yourself or like wasting your time be my guest my only advice is to do what i did when i was in graduate school and at least i spent all of my free time which i made as much free time as humanly possible i spent all of my free time learning to do other things but my real recommendation is no one should be going to graduate school at this point okay i said earlier in the video there are reasons for a sheepskin effect to maybe get a bachelor's degree um if you don't have like a business or something you know if you need to do a couple years of waging and maybe in some very limited time like there there are places where you might want to get a masters because you know masters is usually just two years but again you're not getting it because it's giving you anything because it isn't you're doing it just to look good on a resume and you have to acknowledge that and you have to you know utilize your time while you're working on that to actually do stuff important and not let that get in the way and i would definitely not try to get a career specifically in one of those fields okay um i mean and on even even if you don't end up working in a university or doing research okay are there other things you can do yes but they're still like highly rarefied independent on some corporate actually you know the girlfriend i mentioned earlier in this video um who went to emory and went like a bajillion dollars in debt she uh was doing neuroscience they had a they had a good program there is actually pretty the the people in her program were really cool like um the lab that he had was like kind of um like evolutionary psychology and stuff like it was interesting stuff right um but uh you know so she graduated and she didn't want to work in academia she was burnt burnt out on that and she wanted to like make more money and she got a job like at coca-cola or something like that and they wanted her to like i forget exactly make at like scan people who looked at ads i forget exactly what it was but the thing is if you get that skill yeah could you can you work somewhere outside of the university yeah it's like coca-cola okay it's like some other big company where you basically have the same problem okay still gotta get the heck in vax right that actually should be your metric are we looking at careers where you had to get the vaccine that is the best that is the best metric for what kind of freedom you are going to have in a job constantine says uh or constant yeah i guess he pronounced it constantine well anglicized a little bit uh do you want to print filial calia maybe bilingual english english and greek on lindy press i'm not actually familiar does that go by another name should i know that i should probably know this work let me pull it up off the top of my head i don't know what you're talking about i'll just admit that so depending on how long so this is has a cast stuff okay uh depends on how long it is okay well i'm i'm working on a reader now that's like early christian writings now of course this is not early this is has a cast stuff so it's like what 15th century um i contemplate it although to also be honest i haven't read that much has a cast of stuff so i'm not that's one aspect of orthodoxy i'm not like super familiar with because it's kind of it's it's late to the game you know but um uh i'm open to it i'll just say that i'm open to it do i i actually don't have anything out in greek yet because there are a couple things i was working on the hermetic corpus but i kind of decided against publishing that and um i thought about doing a bilingual of marcus aurelius's meditations but i don't i don't know if that actually be useful unless it's like someone who wants to read it to like learn greek or just have it just to have it by the way if you if you uh if you know any latin teachers tell them to buy my book on etymologies that's i should probably try to market some of the stuff to like schools um that would actually be that'd be a good idea yeah so i probably have some connections all right uh i think i said i was going to like read and yeah i was going to read an email okay i totally forgot about this i said i was going to like read some email but a kid asked him out college so you're gonna get my visceral reactions to this which i think i looked over in a second ago or like you know a couple hours ago so this guy uh whose name is wise gamer oh boy uh he says it's it's one of your subs from youtube hope this doesn't bother you i just passed out from high school passed out from high school okay yeah he's he's not native english speaker and applied to a local university for a computer science degree because of my grades 68 percent out of 100 percent i did not get an admissions letter from a good college and now i only have two options either studying a college with bad reputations uh might even have bad education staff i don't know about that or learn from online resources from home and get some certs uh and i'm gonna go ahead and respond to that he goes on more so go ahead and say firstly i don't know why you got grades so low i don't know if if see i'm from america where like everyone gets an a if they do the work basically and you have to be really stupid to fail or you have to just like not do the work now in high school i was the guy who didn't do the work so i did get some bad grades um so there is a question of like did you get these low grades because like you're slow or did you get these low grades because you were understandably lazy and you didn't care about school so that's something to think about i will say you lucked out in not getting to a big school if that meant uh you paying more but if you're not an american you know it might not matter but yeah as i said before and it might be different in different countries but my reflex based on america is that um you really just want a degree to want a degree at this point okay um if he says like oh the school has a bad reputation i don't think i don't think you need to like beat yourself up about that i mean if it's just like oh it's like a local school that no one cares about that's no big deal like in america if you go to some stupid local school versus you go to like some highly expensive school right that that's like a flex but in terms of like applying for specific jobs it's not going to make a big difference if you go to like a state school versus like harvard frankly i mean the harvard guy will get an interview faster right but the other guy can still apply right he's still gonna apply and frankly he's probably not going to be competing with harvard people or whatever um anyway so he says um now my entire family directly or indirectly don't want me to learn from home they say that i should learn from college uh which i'm selected and get online certs in the academic i mean you can do both like i honestly i might agree with your parents here because um like again like college like college time especially if you're getting college for free okay if you're in a country where you're getting free college do it absolutely do it because you're not doing it based on this you're not doing anything else and in your free time do the certifications absolutely don't do this i'm gonna sit around all day and do nothing if you could be getting a fake degree for free okay i do degree that you know theoretically is going to count for something even if you're not learning anything um and again you're like in your school since you're not in america most of the time i'm talking about americans when i'm saying all these bad things about schools american schools are terrible it might be that in your second world country wherever you are schools are still okay um i want to be a cyber security expert and study about different aspects of topics of cyber security every day um and i also learned html css javascript and currently i'm learning advanced javascript and no j s don't do that make the world a better place and don't do node and other frameworks and i'm developing my portfolio site and trying to do some project well that's good if you're doing projects you're developing a portfolio and you're learning stuff that's good but you can do that at the same like unless unless like you're you have a job you're working on all the time you can do school at the same time especially if it's free that's that's what i'm saying um yeah and and on the certificate he says i'm also preparing for network plus exam and ccna um and then you know other stuff so yeah uh like certifications theoretically they matter like they're a tiebreaker thing but they don't really matter that much they don't care like places places that don't know anything they will require certifications but i think if you're a technically competent person and you have something to show for it if you have like a good github if you have like a good portfolio uh yeah who cares if you have certifications i don't know again maybe in this country they do but i'm just gonna say like mostly having certifications is kind of a formality more so of a formality than like you know having a degree is a formality so that that's what i would say to that if that guy is listening if it's not it's an example for you guys whatever uh okay so chris says as a linguist are there pros to having genders for objects in a language e.g in german the word for coffee is male how do you shave also how do you shave have you taken the safety razor pill uh i actually don't have a safety razor call me cut i need to i have not um yeah i just shaved basically the way well i do have like a reusable blade but it's like one of those crappy plastic things uh i don't have a real safety razor i'll go ahead and answer that um so pros to having gender in uh in languages that is like a thoroughly uh i mean so there's the school that gen like gender is totally an accident in language like the reason you have it like it's just kind of emerged in indo european and it's just kind of there out of momentum that's like one school um but also it's important to note that like in earlier languages where you had like hyperbaton when you had like you know constituents like a noun theoretically you could put a noun on one side of a sentence and an adjective on the total opposite side of the sentence that's modifying it right there are some reasons to have like the disambiguation of gender occasionally there there's a reason there there might be some information processing reasons to have that i think that's one valid theory um but i i think the accident i i think it's probably mostly a historical accident um and i mean when you look at indo european so how indo european used to work is basically there are two types of nouns and it was totally um it was like animate and inanimate and those functioned differently in terms of like inanimates couldn't even be the subjects of sentences that's actually why in indo european languages and most of them um the neuter form um the nominative and accusative are always the same right that's because you know back at this period like there was no nominative basically um and if you wanted if you wanted to say basically that like a neuter was a subject quote unquote of a sentence you would use it with an impersonal and you would it decline the neuter as if it were an instrument an instrumental uh so anyway blah blah blah so indo european starts out with animate and inanimate and what happens is there arises this suffix for feminine stuff that is also used for abstract nouns in a couple other things and so what exactly was the semantic value of this why why did it propagate that's not entirely sure but it happened and i think gender persists in indo european languages for that reason um and uh like other other language families like they have grammatical gender but it's not quite as weird as indo european languages that's what i said dry grass says confronted shadow in the pool of Bethesda yet i don't understand what that is right is shadow shadow the hedgehog i have no idea what that is talking about i have no idea what that's on me um so constantine says again uh luke thoughts on the mathematical uh thoughts thoughts on mathematical the woolfirm language well it's closed source so i'm not interested in it that's that's all i gotta say i mean it does some interesting stuff but it's closed source uh by the way filio calia is pretty lengthy four volumes in english five volumes in greek highly appreciated one thing i haven't figured out on lindy press is how to do multi volume works that's one thing i'm having trouble with one work that i want to do uh i have a an abridged copy of it uh actually a pretty based book as they say is uh where is it where is it it's a red one it's a red book paperback what section would it be in what's that i gotta get this book oh there it is there it is it's the uh malleus maleficarum you know so this is an abridged version of this book which is actually freaking massive i actually let me let me pull up i know i have my source file for it right now it might not work on this one because i don't have all my compilation stuff here let's see let me see all big the malleuses uh code where do i have things in here do i even have um books malleus yeah so this is like uh witch hunting like demonology kind of stuff um weirdly enough the orthodox have a higher opinion of this than catholics like catholics actually like condemn this book um but i've actually heard a lot of orthodox people who talk about it uh it looks like the text i have right now is 437 pages which i think is kind of pushing it because i want to say my biggest right now is etymologies which is oh that's a earlier edition i managed to trim off a couple more pages by changing margins i want to say this is like uh this is around 400 pages so yeah so malleus would be a little bigger than this um which isn't that bad but there are some parts that i would say are kind of boring uh but it's an interesting read it's an interesting book um all right so but anyway i thought about splitting that one up in multiple volumes let me go ahead and put this up before i like forget about it and it's on my week for like a you know who know or it's on my desk for like a week well i probably should finish that one up well i'm getting tired i'm getting tired i'll probably stop this room sometime soon but i'm just gonna keep uh reading stuff until it stops coming till it stops all right um abstract nouns tend to be feminine in irish to the state yeah abstract nouns are nearly feminine in basically every european language like all the words in english that indian tion you know in romance languages they're all feminine or the indian tood in english they all like basically every every abstract noun in latin is basically feminine trying to think of some exceptions um well words like color uh would not be but they're like a different route um anyway if you want to call that an abstract noun because really like abstract nouns that i'm talking about here are like formed from other morphemes uh yeah i'm actually how am i to drop table is i'm getting tired i'm getting tired look how dark it is here uh let's see uh where's could i just name maybe i can change let me change my exposure a little script to do this there we are that made it even darker hold on let's say 140 all right now it's lighter let's see what it looks like at 200 oh that looks oh man look at me i look like super like pale or something i can probably increase it even greater it's it actually doesn't look as bad as it looked like earlier in the day i have to change the exposure when i'm recording in the middle of the day because it looks like ridiculous i'm gonna do 400 oh my goodness it gets lighter and now i'm just like literally playing around with this um do like a thousand uh oh jeez dough let's uh let's put that way back oh that's comfy that's that's liminal loop core right there that's let's say 250 or something like that okay i don't know we're we're about done with this i i need to play around with that i need no i don't i was gonna say i need a wagey to do all this for me then i'd be like no i don't believe in i believe in minimizing your liabilities you know that's why i do everything on my channel myself record everything you know every video no no production queue it is funny when i find a youtube channel that's like some dude with like 20 000 subscribers you know which is fine like you can you could probably make a living out of that if you like super monetize it that is if you don't do what i do don't monetize anything and just do a live stream like every two weeks where you get like a hundred dollars or something i don't know actually i feel like i feel like i've got more uh donations this time even though like they're all small amounts but it ends up i guess um i need i'm gonna get rid of like my paypal and stuff i'm gonna do all all manero because um like i was looking at the donations coming in on paypal and it's like someone gives two dollars it's literally i only get 150 of that you know what i mean it's it's just the principle i would rather get zero of that i would rather the donation not happen i don't know maybe that's me maybe runs is that we're like weird about that kind of stuff it just feels wrong so all manero what was i gonna say but yeah it's funny when i find someone who has like a teeny tiny channel or again you you could monetize it a 20 000 dollar or a 20 000 subscriber channel and um make something out of that but when he has like a whole team and like oh i'm the ceo of blah blah blah it's like dude it's a freaking it's a youtube channel it's not real dude it's not real but then again i don't know i'm the i'm the one maybe i'm the i'm the odd one out let's be real like i'm the one that's like got a channel still using this like it's just me talking at a screen because i am just talking at a screen that's all it is like these people like they exist but like i don't know you know that's how it is not going to be like well whatever now i'm just saying existential things looking wood uh another one is cash out things i have to see on my thanks he says thanks for this suggestion on the unicom keyboard only complaint is i need to add some dampening for the noise bothers the heck dot dot dot i guess it cut off the rest of it but okay i'm gonna i'm gonna guess it mean he says bothers the heck out of my wife or something i don't know um now you gotta embrace that you gotta embrace that feels good sigma grind set sigma grind set like you gotta you gotta type as loud as possible well the thing about the thing about it is like there's no difference between typing loudly on a buckling spring cal keyboard and trying to talk type as soft softly as you can because they both end up being exactly the same all right i'm gonna end this i'm gonna end this um all right looking at the last thing um hold on guys i gotta check snapchat sigma grind set sigma typeset thoughts on hyperborea it was real we was hyperboreans that's my thoughts liminal sigmas i'm now i'm just reading random comments liminal luke grind set thoughts on plan nine thoughts and escaping the rat race best way to do this with a little money in your opinion save literally everything don't spend money on anything don't even own a car if you can get away with actually i should say like for like five years i basically did i well i literally didn't own a car didn't pay insurance didn't pay gas right i walked to everything i when i lived in tucson i took uh i mean when you think about it okay in tucson i could walk to work i could not walk to the grocery store but hey there was a bus i i would much rather pay five dollars a month to ride the bus then pay however much to buy a car and like upkeep that car and all that kind of stuff i don't know so learn learn to live without that's all i would say more specific stuff you gotta i don't know i gotta know your life situation which i don't uh thoughts on rust i'm sick of people talking about it oh wow it's written in rust no one cares no one cares about rust why do these people always talk about what's written in rust no one cares that's what i think about rust a car would cost like 500 dollars a month in canada with insurance rape yeah that that sounds pretty bad i i even at my worst i was paying like 600 a year on insurance i'm i'm again like shopper like people also i will say this i will let me just add something when i was in economics this is something that people talked about all the time the fact that like people nowadays will belabor oh my goodness gas went up by five cents okay of course gas has gone up way more than that but just in principle like people will line about five cents more in gas but then for big purchasing big purchases in their life which they don't give a crap about or i mean that they should give a crap about but they don't they will not care at all about being like nickled and dimed i mean it's it's a famous thing in economics like if you if you said if you took a car and you said okay i'm gonna sell this car to you for 20 000 and that person's like okay that sounds good and then you said oh uh for two thousand dollars more i'm gonna give you a lot of dollars for that but that's actually how car salesman like selling cars works a lot of these big purchases people don't think about like marginal differences they don't take that into account and i think uh i should i should probably uh i shouldn't add that to the article i just put out maybe i should say this somewhere else but there is a sense in which like people don't analyze like big purchases they're just like okay houses cost a lot therefore if i pay you know i'm already paying 200 000 for this house so if i play 20 000 more that's not a big deal no that is a big deal that's 20 000 dude that's 20 000 that like people don't think about it you know what i mean so like the easiest place to rip people off is when they're not being you know you know who is enough when they're buying big things like cars and houses like those are the big things and for those like that's why i recommended before when you're getting a house like go out of your way do like live in a place you you want to make the best decision and buying information for a thousand dollars is actually going to make it's it's going to pay it's going to be worth more than 20 000 for you you know what i mean if you can get a better deal same thing with cars just i don't know i don't know why anyone would ever buy a car for like a new car why would you buy a car that has less than 100 000 miles on it i don't even understand i don't know i don't get it but anyway i i said i was going to end and then i talked about something so that's pretty cool okay goodbye say goodbye in the chat say goodbye i'll let you i'll let it get to the point where you can see that i'm saying goodbye then i'll turn it off um thoughts on eating roasted crickets as a protein source oh yeah guys check out did you see i i anxiously await i will say there's one product that i love consuming and that is leonardo of bizz's new videos and he made an excellent video called you will eat the bugs leonardo of biz came out just last week that is the product i was i was doing the soy jack face when it came out very appropriate that guy that guy's a freaking legend like his videos they just keep getting better and better that's the craziest thing about it it's all about eating bugs so yeah go watch that video that's that's now your official i would pull it up here if i had like an obious thing to do that but uh all right see you guys see you guys next time show us your setup man we haven't seen the whole thing oh yeah yeah i'll do a video of my room like i used to do those when i did like uh apartment videos maybe i'll do that through this room even though it's like it's my desk it's books that's it leonardo of biz i mean he is bizzana let's be real he is bizzana we all know it i know it you know it everybody knows it he's actually bizzana chie um luke collin says you missed my last donate okay let me check let me check i i don't see a last oh for my final donations i do to sleep for latin mass tomorrow i'm currently a maths lecturer um at the university of malta i'm halfway through my uk government funded phd my cope is that my country is uh still quite catholic conservative in these cringe american ideas aren't really visible at my uni at home yet still i think having a position at uni here is more chill and still allows me to do entrepreneurial stuff on the side i'll try uh to get you invited to give a talk here i think you will like oh wow i could do that i could actually do some link i yeah i could i could bust out some uh linguistic stuff that i i've just built up over the years because i haven't presented i think you'll like it here all expenses covered of course uh ps i use your etymologies with my latin students god bless oh wow that's excellent fantastic i'm glad i let read your last donation um yeah i mean it is true like universities in other countries are like less bad even though they are being infiltrated like i don't view it and i don't view it as a good investment anywhere to work in a university and if you do do it uh it's got to be in like a second world country or i mean i don't mean second i mean frankly most second world countries are like quote-unquote uh they are like richer than us and like more confident than us anyway now um so like yeah if you're like working in a couple of my friends like they work in asian universities like singapore or something like that you know and yeah things are different but i don't trust it like i don't trust how the system is going to continue that's all i have to say i would not i would not make that your singular career goal but if you're in there and it's like not stress-free and it's not like a cult that's fine that's great uh but you know anyway that's all i gotta say so that will be enough that'll be enough i'm tired that i am tired at this point so see you guys next time i'm turning it off gamers yeah everyone's saying you missed my last donation yeah i don't see it goodbye
