All right, guys, so welcome back to the channel. If you're new, my name is Bobby. Guys, finally, we're going to react to the genius of Islam, episode one, The Modern Human Condition, by the Muslim skeptic Daniel Hakikachu. So this video has been heavily requested by you guys. Usually, I never watch videos before I react to them. You always get a genuine reaction. However, this time I have to say that I used this video for some stock footage here and there whilst editing my own videos. So I've seen one or the other part. Nevertheless, I never saw it in totality and therefore I'm looking forward to see the whole thing today. With no further ado, let's have a look. Ladies and gentlemen, we may be approaching a fateful hour. D-Day is here. The invasion has begun. The production value on this one, man. For some context, science fiction portrays three visions of the future of humanity. First, there's the dystopian future where all of mankind is enslaved as the human spirit is crushed under the weight of a totalitarian regime that reduces human beings to mere cogs in a massive technocratic wasteland. Second, there's the equally dystopian future where humanity is also enslaved but authorities use mass media in tandem with powerful pharmaceuticals to dope the masses into seeing their condition as one of freedom, pleasure and bliss. Then there's a third vision of the future, perhaps the most terrifying where the human race no longer exists because technology has finally made the human body and even the human mind obsolete. Instead of men and women, the world is populated with robots, androids and disembodied cyber humans. Our current reality in the modern world is the realization of not one or two of these dystopian futures, but all three. We're told that current year might not be perfect, but it's far better than any other time in human history. This is because humanity is constantly progressing, constant economic growth, constant technological advancement, constant moral progress as humanity discovers new human rights and new freedoms to be championed in the latest social justice campaigns. Humans are better off now than they were at any time in history. Or so we're told. I never was an atheist, thank god, but there was a time where I looked into Buddhism, Hinduism, Shamanism and I traveled the world to explore those different belief systems and moreover I became a vegan. I really bought into the vegan doctrine and I thought that we are evil as human beings because we kill animals, we slaughter them, we eat them, we populate the planet, we are this bad, bad human being and somehow we have to get rid of our biology. And this is when I bought into the doctrine of transhumanism. I really believed in transhumanism as a salvation for mankind, but if you really look into it, you'll see how it is from the devil because it promised you salvation within this world. It promised you salvation here, that you will never have to die eternal life, but we of course have to understand as believers that eternal life comes after this life, which is a test. But this is exactly how the devil flips the whole thing and tells you, hey, listen, there is no life after this. You simply die, the lights go off. So you might as well enjoy this to the max and the maximum enjoyment would be if you get rid of your body. You consistently get sick, you get fat, you don't have the dream body that you wanted. You don't have the women maybe that you wanted. So why don't you plug yourself into the VR and enjoy all the women and more on a daily basis, nonstop cooming. Humans are better off now than they were at any time in history. Or so we're told. But what is the reality? Think about the modern person's life. From the moment he's born to the moment he dies, modern man finds himself institutionalized. He's born in an institution run by the state, the hospital, the instant he comes into the world, he's grabbed by the medical professionals and weighed and measured and injected. After a day or two. Thank God my kid wasn't injected. I didn't let anything near him. I get to leave that institution, but guess what? His mother is a strong independent woman who has to work at a soulless job to make ends meet. Statistically, it's most likely that she's a single mother and doesn't have a husband or committed family to help with a new baby. Ah, to be honest, even if she would have that, you look into European countries and the taxation, etc, etc, amen cannot even provide any longer. So therefore they both need to provide in order to have a functioning family, which of course ultimately is the opposite of a functioning family. So the baby has to go to daycare, another institution for most of the day surrounded by more professionals. At age four, he's transferred to yet another institution, raid school, where more professionals make sure he's properly educated. Eight hours a day, 40 hours a week, he's fed the state-manded curriculum, ensuring that he becomes an obedient citizen, an obedient consumer. A good global citizen. He gets older and goes to college. Another institution meant to train him to be a productive citizen who thinks the right thoughts, believes the right beliefs. Yes. After graduation, he can look... But how can you say that, Daniel? We have freedom of speech, don't we? Sarcasm, guys. Of course, we do not. If you look into Germany, for example, you cannot say anything about a certain political time frame within Germany. You cannot even have a different opinion upon the matter, otherwise you end up in prison. Or to desperately searching for a job to pay back tens of thousands of dollars in student debt. If you can't find a job in his family, you can always find a labor for minimum wage. If he's lucky, he might hit the jackpot, working as a wage slave, plugged into the corporate rat race. Every day he drags himself out of bed, sits behind the computer for 40 hours a week, comes home exhausted, too tired and emotionally burnt out to do anything other than order, takeout, and watch Netflix. Maybe he gets married, maybe has one or two kids, but really, what's the point? They're all locked into their own institutional existence for most waking hours of their atomized lives. It's a great video, man. So he works like this. He works like this for 40 years, only to retire. Most likely, he's divorced by then, his kids have long ago. To retire, yes, absolutely. My dad retired with 64 years of age. My mother, she's a nurse and they tell her now that she will be able to retire when she's 69. She's a nurse working at a hospital. When she's 69, she's going to be so broken, God forbid, that she ends up in the same hospital. What's the point? On, he has to spend the end of his life alone, maybe in a nursing home, the final institution. So from birth until death, virtually every moment of his life was mediated by a state or corporate institution. Or maybe he will end up living alone and when he dies in his apartment, no one will really know he has no family to visit him or care for him. And when he dies, it'll only become apparent a few months later when the growing stench of his rotting corpse wafts into the halls of his apartment building. And then again, the operation has to be called to dispose of the putrid remains. It's very dark, man. This sad existence is not unusual. It's, in fact, the norm. It's the model. It's by design, the logical consequence of a materialist progressive worldview. After all, real happiness according to materialists is not to be found in some promised heaven in an imagined afterlife. This life is all we have and material bodies are all that exist. As such, the meaning of life is really about maximizing bodily delights and reducing pain and toil. And the best way, indeed, the only way to maximize pleasure and minimize toil, according to this philosophy, is through goods and services. Give people more food, more entertainment, more gadgets, produce more technology and more automation, which will make life more convenient, more, more, more. Yes, absolutely. This is the premise of this godless society. There is no universal moral. There is no universal standard of what is right and wrong, but somehow pleasure, good and pain, evil. This is the same ideology that you find within veganism, which ultimately leads to all that fake meat and eating. Because 99% of vegans are atheists. They do not believe in any God. They do not believe in any real right and wrong. But in their worldview, pain is bad and pleasure is good. Therefore, sit on your couch, drink the soy latte and save the animals. The more goods and services people have, the happier they'll be, the freer they'll be. One year you have basic cars, the next year cars become more advanced with power steering and the next year they're even more advanced with airbags and Bluetooth and GPS and so on until you have self-driving cars and on and on. Products become better and more plentiful. This is progress. Yep. Progress for the sake of progress this is. How can we progress in the institutions of our children? Hey, let's introduce drag queen story hour. It is progress after all. The West doesn't care in which direction it progresses. Of course, this is not a real progression into the positive. It is a degeneration, but we're going further. Equal liberal thinkers and the early economists, people like John Locke, John Stuart Mill, Jeremy Bentham and Adam Smith, they're all progressivists. They all agreed that human happiness was tied to more goods and services and more goods and services would eventually bring human freedom, equality and ultimately utopia. Communists were no different. In fact, communism as a materialist philosophy fully agrees that human happiness and freedom can only come from more and more goods and services. Of course, because within communism, the state is your God. I was born into communism in communist Yugoslavia. Back then I got baptized in our flat because churches and mosques were shut down. Communist only disagrees with his liberal counterpart on how best to achieve and distribute those goods and services, but the underlying materialism is the same. Does nonstop consumption lead to freedom and happiness? Sure, some aspects of happiness can be put in consumer terms like food, shelter, the basic needs of life. But most human happiness doesn't depend on products. The happiness that comes from a loving and committed relationship with the opposite sex, the happiness that comes from growing old with a loving family and devoted children, the happiness that comes from sharing an identity with other human beings centered around pursuit of a higher purpose. These profound sources of happiness are not in terms of bodily pleasures. They're not consumerist in nature and in fact the consumer economy does a great deal to dissolve these organic relationships and replace them with alternatives. Why bother with the duties of marriage when you can use a convenient sex app or online pornography to perpetually satisfy carnal lusts? Why bother with the burden of having to raise your children yourself when daycare services make it so easy to ship them off while you pursue your personal career ambitions? Why bother with the burden of serving God and uniting with the community of the faithful when you can wallow in the foe feel-good mixed spirituality offered by flashy motivational speakers who's ploying adjurations or broadcast directly via social media to the palm of your hand. It's the intrusiveness of consumer technology that has created a modern society that is more atomized, more individualistic and ultimately more depressed, more lonely, more unhappy, more disconnected from everything that makes life worth living. Yeah, but they won't see this somehow. I talk to atheists, I talk to vegans as I said and most of them they are on anti-depressants but they will tell you this is a normal condition it just so happens that they are on anti-depressants so what many people are on anti-depressants totally normal nothing to see here and they won't be able to reflect that their lifestyle choices let them there they think it's a normal part of life and nowadays unfortunately it really became a normal part of life because people are medicated in order to cope with this disgusting lifestyle. The human mind naturally shuns such an artificial existence the only way modern people survive is by constant use of drugs, alcohol, painkillers and anti-depressants to numb the senses and still suicide rates and drug overdose deaths have been climbing year after year. Modern unhappiness is truly unique perhaps most telling is what's called the happiness income paradox contrary to the materialists happiness doesn't increase when income increases when the happiness levels and income levels and dozens of countries around the world are tracked over a long period of time it becomes evident that more material wealth does not equal more happiness but other studies yeah okay it depends how you track that of course if you look into the western countries and income has been rising but the same time expenses have been rising as well and therefore surely those people become more and more depressed on top of that all kinds of restriction within those countries and a further removal from the family etc etc you name it but if we're talking about the individual that had a race in income of course that will add something to the happiness these paint a darker picture once basic needs are met a person's happiness is strongly correlated with perceived social rank and relative status in other words how rich are you compared to other people research shows that relative wealth and comparative status play a dominant role in people's happiness levels this is why a millionaire despite all his wealth can still be very unhappy if his social circle is filled with billionaires and why a billionaire can feel very unhappy if his social circle is filled with mega billionaires of course the paradox here is that a person can endlessly increase his wealth but if those around him are increasing their wealth at a faster rate then he'll eventually become less happy over time this phenomenon is referred to as the relative income hypothesis okay what researchers have found is that it's a part of human nature that people who have higher status than those around them naturally feel more confident have higher self-esteem and are more happy this is even seen in the animal kingdom yes absolutely exactly because if you look into income what does it really mean ultimately we as men we are providers so back in the day we would go out hunt and therefore we would bring back meat that's basically it so money equals meat money equals food of course nowadays you can buy all kinds of other things you can buy cars houses and all kinds of luxurious items but ultimately it is about you as a man providing if you are successful in providing as a male you will be happy and therefore the richer you get of course you will get more confident with that as well because it shows that you are a great provider by contrast those with lower social status have higher levels of depression that provide us paranoia and mental illness yes this has huge implications for how we understand the connection between happiness and the economy if people's happiness is so closely tied to relative status then a constantly growing modern economy is much more a source of despair than it is of happiness just consider the reality of the ever burgeoning wealth okay we're one percent of the world's people own 50 percent of the world's wealth the gap between the rich and the poor is absolutely unprecedented in modern times and due to the relative income hypothesis this also means that the levels of unhappiness and depression are also unprecedented and the salt and the proverbial wound is that media technologies like tv and social media display the lives of the rich and famous in agonizing detail which only heightens the sense of relative privation in the minds of the 99% leading to dissatisfaction and depression on a global scale consider this paradox people and yeah i see the point and i do not disagree with it in particular because i know that there are many many people that are easily influenced however i have a different worldview on it so back in the day for example when i saw my first flex magazine flex magazine was a bodybuilding magazine and i saw that and i showed it to my teacher my teacher told me that this is an absolutely unattainable body goal this unrealistic and i shouldn't even look at it but ultimately i thought to myself this is ridiculous because somebody achieved it so now if you're not willing to put in the work then get over it don't get obsessed by it just leave it be it's fine but if you want to do it you can do it it is what it is we are all given our certain genetic codes of course but nevertheless if we put in the work we will get a benefit we will get a reward and therefore i knew that if i put in all my effort into bodybuilding i will achieve a great physique and so i did therefore when i see rich people if i see something attractive within that lifestyle such as great cars i am a car fan myself i like race bikes i do enjoy certain luxurious things so i want to go after those things i take it as a motivation if i reach it thank god if i don't then thank god as well then it wasn't for me but nevertheless it won't change that i would like to put in effort into those things such a display of wealth or such a display of muscularity will never make me personally depressed especially as a believer because i do believe that god gifts certain people some people get the riches some people get the fame some people get something else some people get beautiful families 10 children 15 children and whatnot others don't get any ultimately it comes down to god's plan anyways so therefore i cannot complain about it or feel depressed about it developing countries actually become wealthier in absolute terms over the past century but despite the increased wealth their overall happiness has decreased how can that be this is because they experience themselves as poor why because relative to western economic growth over the same century they're poorer in comparison for example colonialism and capitalism have without a doubt made the muslim world and the developing world wealthier in material terms than it's ever been but overall people in the developing world in all these countries feel poorer and feel less happy why because in the past their wealth was relatively equal to europe or even higher but even though they have more absolute wealth now than they did in the past their relative position compared to the west has dropped due to colonialism and other factors the west grew richer at a far greater pace creating an insurmountable wealth gap this global inequality generates a lot of unhappiness paranoia and depression for poor nations and by the same token it generates a lot of happiness and satisfaction for richer nations who feel good about being above others but is the wealth gap between richer and poorer nations really insurmountable can't developing nations eventually catch up to the west and enjoy equal wealth and status doesn't a capitalist global economy provide a fair playing field for all the answer is a resounding no what theorists like immanuel wallerstein and thomas pickety have pointed out is that the liberal capitalist model does not account for structural inequality the reason that one percent of the population owns 50 percent of the world's wealth in an ever-growing wealth gap is not due to sheer hard work and perseverance the reason that western nations have had overwhelmingly more wealth and held overwhelmingly more control over the rest of the world for the past few centuries is not due to sheer ingenuity rather there's a clear structural inequality hardwired into global capitalism that prevents other countries from being able to catch up with the west sure sociologist immanuel wallerstein points the fact that because the technological revolution began in the west they were able to accumulate a great deal of capital using this capital they were able to learn more into research and development of course rnd more so than other nations which led to more innovation better products more high tech products other nations couldn't compete with this and so they were locked into a low tech economy relative to the west where they're producing low margin low tech goods and raw materials meanwhile the western nations create better higher tech goods and sell those at higher margins which brings more profit which they can invest in more rnd more innovation and the vicious cycle continues to be honest this doesn't really strike me of course it's not fair but ultimately i do not see life as fair whatsoever my parents are from yugoslavia as i said the economy has been shattered down there in comparison germany has a much much better economy this is why my parents went to germany in the first place and of course the money was better the life got better over there i personally felt very isolated because my family stayed in mesadonia i was only surrounded by my mom dad and sister all the cousins all the uncles grandparents they were all in mesadonia be that as it may right now i'm living in southeast asia and of course you see here that certain areas are underdeveloped others on the other hand super developed as well i personally see this as the game of life of course some people have unfair advantage because they were there first but so be it as i said i understand this point but at the same time it reminds me of victim hot mentality where we always have to go back and see who did what first who enslaved who and now we are here boo who this is why i cannot prosper i personally do not believe in that i think that is an ideology of despair i really believe that no matter where you are from you can make it especially in this day and age i've seen kids coming from india editing videos on fiverr and making more money than anybody that works in germany it is possible after all more r&d more innovation and the vicious cycle continues this is a structural inequality that prevents other countries from catching up the modern wonder of progress and constant economic growth is actually a modern nightmare that keeps the majority of the world's population in a perpetual state of inferiority isn't mankind supposed to live free maybe freedom is exactly the problem here the whole purpose of endless technology and endless consumption is to give us more and more freedom the life of inconvenience and perpetual toil of our ancestors is no more now we can live comfortably with all our needs food shelter sex entertainment literally available to us at the touch of a button and if a button is too taxing just give voice commands but even this is not good enough even this is not as convenient as possible what if chips could be implanted in the brain so that we can learn the pizza but then we would have to chew the food quite a chore what if we could just automatically inject the nutrition of the pizza into our bodies and then virtually stimulate the sensations of enjoying a pizza but then why allow a clunky body to limit our freedom in the first place why not technologically enhance our bodies or better yet ditch our bodies all together by uploading our consciousness into the clouds so that we can exist in a state of perpetual cybernetic bliss isn't this the logical end of freedom freedom realized to its fullest potential but of course this freedom would also mean no more human body and no more human body means no more soft touch of another's warm embrace no more watching the sunset no more smelling the rain no more reveling in the joyous laughter of your children no more human life as we know it the extinction of the human race is there another path all right and this is it for today's video long enough as it is so i'm gonna cut it off here ultimately it boils down to trans humanism this is the promise of progressivism this is the promise of liberalism that we can all upload ourselves into the cloud as i said in the end the human touch etc etc that will be missing not necessarily according to the tech overlords because you will experience all of that and even much more you won't be just a sterile metal machine you will experience all of those experiences in the cloud and much much more of course the question here is of course who experiences that i read an article that said going vegan is not vegan enough ultimately it is our dirty flesh bodies that excrete so much co2 and produce so much waste so the most vegan thing would be to upload ourselves into the cloud but ultimately they're offering you to get killed that's it they just want to get rid of your body they want to dispose of you and they want to upload you into the cloud consciousness has never been isolated they do not understand what consciousness is they have no conceptualization of a soul they simply understand certain algorithms certain synapses firing within your brain and they want to copy that and bring it into the cloud i'm sure it's gonna work all right guys but this is it for today's video if you liked it leave it a thumbs up if you haven't subscribed already guys please do so and if you want to support this channel via patreon all the links
