Heat. Heat.  Let's see. Where is Where's my  webcam? There's my webcam. Sorry.  30-year-old boomer. Don't know how to  use any  technology. What's up, everyone?  So, okay. Is the volume good on this? I  don't care if the volume's good on the  introductory sound.  So, I wanted to do a stream. I've been  meaning to do a stream for a couple  days. Why is my webcam down there? Um,  been meaning to do a stream for a while.  I hit 50,000 a couple days ago. So,  we'll say that it not a couple days ago.  Maybe it was a little longer. I don't  know. In fact, I'm getting close to  55,000. So, that'll be the um  rationalization for why I'm uh doing a  stream. I suppose I'm not going to have  anyone on this time unless someone  contacts me in the middle. But, uh,  we'll probably talk about the usual  stuff. Actually, let me let me bring  this boomer over here. We'll do some  stuff with him. Get back to normal size.  All right. Well, good position for a  little boomer. Yeah, of course it is.  It's early. It's Saturday morning. Well,  it's not Saturday morning, but it's  9:00. I wanted to try something a little  different. Just doing a stream at a  different time just to see who's around.  Now, I probably will get way less people  watching live just because um it's nine  o'clock in New York and of course it's,  you know, seven or eight the wester you  go in the US, but I guess it might be a  better time for people in Eurasia. But  either way, um so there are a couple of  uh things to I guess talk about, but I  I'll read super chats and other stuff as  well. Uh typical stuff. Um, now as you  may know, so as I said, reached 50,000  subscribers, also have over six million  views now, literally. And uh there was a  point a couple days ago where I hit over  a 100,000 views in two days, which is  pretty impressive. Um, so yeah, that's  all good. But anyway, so in terms of uh  channel news, I suppose should probably  do some channel news. Uh, let me move  this. So yeah, I'll read super chats in  a second. But in terms of channel news,  um, uh, what was I going to say? So, as  you may know, I'm going to be moving in  a woods pretty soon. Uh, I think those  of you who are behind the payw wall  might have more information about that,  but I'll uh be moving, I suppose, at the  end of this month. This month is May,  right? Yeah, it's just turned May. So,  I'll probably be there by June. And  that's going to mean a lot of changes  for the channel, possibly. Um, none of  them are bad, of course. I'll probably  do other videos when I'm going to be  moving there. I'm going to be starting a  a garden, doing some housework, doing  some like workshop stuff. So, I might  actually have videos on that kind of  stuff. Not as if my my whole channel is  going to become that, but I might do a  video a week or something on that  depending on what I'm doing. Um, there  is, of course, like minor problems to it  uh to moving down there. One is I have  I'll have really bad internet access.  Now, that can be a blessing and a curse  obviously. I mean, I think it's good to  have bad internet if you're a normal  person. Um, because, you know, if you  can get streaming videos non-stop and  stuff like that, it's you usually cause  it's usually a bad habit to to use it  too much. Um, so it can be a  distraction. And as you well know, you  know, I had a video way back when when I  when I talked about the two years I went  without internet at my house and how  instructive that was. Uh, in fact, it  had a lot of effect on the uh the fact  that I now have a YouTube channel.  probably wouldn't have one if I didn't  had have two years to basically spend um  you know at home without internet  access. You know, you get a lot of stuff  done. You learn a lot of stuff. Um but  of course there's a downside in that um  it's going to be much more difficult for  me to upload videos. Um I might be able  to upload, let's say I record a video  over the day and maybe I'll be able to  uh upload it overnight if things don't  mess up. So, that's probably that'll  that might work. Um, but even if it  doesn't, let's say my internet  connection just doesn't work at all,  I'll just have to change my workflow.  Probably what I'll do is I'll be  recording videos during the week and  then maybe over the weekend, maybe  whenever I go on a trip to somewhere  else, uh, or I might possibly get a job  at some place with better internet, but  whenever I'm there, I'll just upload  everything. So, uh, that might be what I  do. So, that's just channel  announcements. Um, as I said, I will be  moving basically in a woods. Pretty much  as in a woods as you can get. Um, I will  have a mailbox. I mean, that kind of  stuff. Got to be able to send mail out,  of course. Um, classic boomer. Um, but,  uh, I will probably and notice some of  the changes. Uh I mean as you know last  semester I did the podcast and I have  done I I guess one or two episodes this  semester as well but one of the reasons  I did that is because I wanted long form  content that I could upload in one  setting in relatively you know  relatively bandwidth efficient and I  might start doing more of the podcast  episodes because of that. So um that  might be a thing. Um anyway I'm going to  go ahead and pull up some other Oops.  going to pull up um you know, super  chats and stuff and I'll be able to read  through those. But if you have any  questions, feel free to ask. But this  will probably be a slightly slower  stream just because it's at a time that  I think people uh probably won't be on  their computers. Um and by the way, if  one of those people out there is  watching that, you know, we were in  contact about doing a live stream, um  you can feel free to contact me now and  I'll probably put you on the Mumble  server or something and we can have a  chat. Otherwise, I'll just answer, you  know, super chats and comments and stuff  like that. Uh, let me  see. Let's see. Um, it's about I have to  relearn like where all this stuff is  every time I do  it. Such a  boomer. Oh, it's in the community  tab, I think. Yeah. Super chat.  I actually got some already.  Um, eight Australian dollars. I guess  that's what the A is from George. He  says, "I saw Luke at Linuxfest." It's  strange because I thought he said he was  6 foot, but I'm 5'5 and he was shorter  than  me. Doesn't matter. Love you anyway,  Luke. Oh, that's a good meme. There's no  way to defame a man more than calling  him a manlet. No, of course I'm not. I'm  not six foot either. I'm around, you  know, 5'11, maybe at the end of the day  510. I don't know. Do I look like I'm  I'm less than 5'5? I don't know. I  should I should just measure myself now  just because you know if someone calls  you a manlet that's like poison on your  name, but I'll do it later if I have to.  But um yeah, no, I'm sorry. I mean, in  in four in four gag terms, 5'11 is still  manlet, so I guess I am a manlet. But  um so anyway, thanks for the money,  George. And $5 from Alex Barney. Grats  on the boomer internet fame. Thank you.  I don't know if I'm quite internet  famous yet, but I just have more  subscribers. I have been getting a whole  lot of views recently. I don't know if  you've noticed. Part of it is just  putting out videos relatively  frequently. Um, YouTube, the YouTube  algorithm really favors that. So, I'll  get views on my later videos. Not that  much, but I'll get a lot of views on my  later videos if I keep putting stuff  out. Uh, measure yourself, man. I'm not  going to Well, I could I could measure  myself right now. I might as well. All  right. Measuring  tape. Putting it on the  ground. Verify that it's Don't want to  cheat. Don't want to cheat. I don't want  people on for 4chan to think I'm shorter  than I am. So, I am now going to Oh,  Christ. Put it right at the top of my  head. And sorry, I lost  it. This is ridiculous.  Okay.  Oh, sorry. I included the sunglasses. I  was 6 foot. Got to take the sunglasses  off. All right. There it  is. Right  there.  Oops. Okay. Well, that's with boots on,  so I'm a little more than six, but  without boots, I'm around 5'11.  All  right. Fake tape. Yeah, that's right. I  have a special tape that is actually a  couple inches smaller so I can look  taller than I actually  am. Um, measuring yourself for strangers  on the internet makes you a mallet  regardless. Yeah, it sort of does. In  fact, even caring about being defamed  for your height is uh mallet here. It's  like PewDiePie always obsessed over him  being what is it 179 or something? Or  maybe it's I forget what it is. I I  don't know how centimeters work. I I'm  pretty sure 180 is the cut off for  manlets in metric. I don't know. But  yeah, six foot is the cut off for  manlets in um at least in 4  gag. I didn't see proof that you me. All  right. It's a meme. All right. It's not  a serious measurement  anyway.  Okay. Ivory Coma donates $2 and says, "I  switched to Linux because of the  terminal Bible." Sweet. I mean, well,  there are actually different things he  could be referring to as the terminal  Bible. But if he's talking about the  video I did, that's good. That's right,  kids. You can look up how to view the  Bible in any translation on the command  line. Just search it. Just search  terminal Bible on YouTube. Actually,  let's search terminal  Bible. We'll see if my video comes up.  Yeah, it's the first it's the first  result.  Terminal Bible equals Arch Wiki. Yeah, I  can understand  that. Pvata says, "What what's it going  to take to radicalize Luke? I'm already  infinitely radicalized. People don't  know how much of a fed poster I am. Just  because I don't talk about things  doesn't mean I don't say things, you  know. It's not that I'm an optics [\h__\h]  either, you know."  But Luke Smith, did you buy the EOM86?  Yeah, I bought it like months ago and  they still haven't delivered. Um, they  they had some kind of delay. It's May.  It's ridiculous. I mean, they were  supposed to ship in like February or  something. I mean, I'm sure they it's  it's a speculative product. They're  going to have a lot of problems or  whatever, but I I could check the last  email I got from them. They they'll send  me email updates like once a month, but  it's like, you know, at some point I I  actually want the  thing. Actually, it's going to be  annoying if they don't send it early  this month. I'm probably going to have  to send him my changed  address.  Um, let's see. Let me read their full  update. Yeah, it looks like they're  getting things redone. Let's see. When  was this last update? I don't even  know. I'm not quite sure. When did I get  it? Um, April the 28th. So, that was  pretty recently.  Does Patreon only charge at the first of  the month? I think. I I'm not sure. Or I  think if some people if you when you  first subscribe, you have to pay up, but  that's like optional.  Um, what's your favorite DE? Not window  manager, but desktop environment. I I  don't use desktop environments. I have  no opinions on them.  I mean, I guess if I had to, I would use  something like XFCE or Gnome 2, but I  don't really have any preferences to  them. I I mean, I really hate things  like Gnome or these things that are just  enormous and they have things flashing  all over the place. It just strikes me  as totally  useless. I really feel like Gnome 2 or  Mate, whatever it is. I mean, mate, I  think is what they call a fork of it  now, but um that's pretty much as good  as it gets in terms of like not getting  in your way. But pretty much any more in  user interface than that is just like an  annoyance as far as I'm concerned. But  obviously I use a window manager, so  that's going to be my opinion on it.  Um, Luke Smith, with the coming  automation, which jobs do you see  becoming the norm? Which jobs? I don't  know. Not having one.  Self-sufficiency being an eth thought.  That could be  one. I should probably comb my beard.  Um, Sir Evil Pudding donates uh five  euros says, "Do you use a compositor  like Compton? If so, would you care for  a fork I made that adds cached  background blur?" Well, I do use uh a  compositor. Well, I use X Comp Manager,  whatever it is. And the only reason I  have that running is when I want  transparency on my terminal. I don't use  it for any  fancy movement or motion or something  like that. I I'm sort of against that  kind of stuff. So,  um, yeah, I don't know. I mean, maybe  someone would be interested in in that,  your fork of it, but I I personally  wouldn't have that much of a mean, uh, a  use for it, I  guess. Um, I'm going to comb my beard.  What do you  uh, let's see.  Someone asked about VFM. I think the  comment went by really fast, but yeah, I  actually am using LF right now um  instead of VFM. I was thinking about  doing a video on VFM, but there are a  bunch of things that just don't work the  way I wanted to on VF. I mean, it's  pretty customiz Well, VFM is one of  those programs where you have to  basically set everything yourself  because the defaults aren't very  sensitive or sensitive sensible.  But um  uh yeah, the  um what was I saying? Yeah, like VFM is  just a pain to set up. So if I did a  video on it, I'm always in the tra the  trap of do I do a video on a program or  do I do a video on my configs on a  program because those could be totally  different, you know, and uh VFM was  annoying because, you know, it just had  some of both. I would have to do a video  sort of of both and like they just have  terrible defaults. Like you it's just  really awful. Now I've been using LF  recently. I like LF. I mean obviously  it's it's made in Go instead of Ranger.  It's basically a Ranger clone but it's  made it's written in Go. So it is much  snappier. It's much better. Um and the  other thing I like about it is it's  scriptable not in Python but in shell.  And um I I think everyone knows how I I  mean it's not that I'm against Python or  anything. I've said this a million  times, but um I think that Python is  just like this  really like how it works  programmatically. I mean how frankly  most pro scripting languages work like  Python and others  is it's not in a way that's like optimal  in terms of like running like shell  scripts and stuff like that. And  whenever people use Python or something  like that to do something to replace the  shell, it just strikes me as really  stupid. Um, and I think the sh like  shells shell scripts particular  particularly in that you know you can  have easily read standard input output  pipe things um do that kind of stuff  that just makes it much more efficient.  I mean much better to to do basically  everything. Um and like when every once  in a while I'll get a comment on my  videos like why'd you write that in  shell? Why didn't you just um you know  uh write it in Python or something like  that? Okay. Well, I can't read easily  read st I mean read standard input with  Python. Think of all the junk you have  to throw in that you know and all the  it's it's it's just messy like pro  Python. I mean as people say it is  really just like a pseudo language in  that like it it it basically shows you  programmatic thinking but it's just not  very good once you've already got that  down. like if you already know how to do  that stuff and you just want to process  streams or something like that. So  that's why it annoys me.  Um you didn't [\h__\h] on Daniel Dennett in  your last video. What is what is it  about the view his view of consciousness  that you don't like? I mean, I did. I  pretty much said I I'm pretty sure I  said what there is to say. Daniel didn't  his view on consciousness amounts to  basically denying that it exists or  saying that it's a cognitive illusion.  Now, a lot of people will say that I  will say one thing about putting out a  video on on consciousness is the amount  of just like just what the hell takes  you get from people that are just like  nonsense are just pretty ridiculous. And  a lot of people will say some what if  consciousness is just an illusion. Okay,  no consciousness by definition is not an  illusion. What you see in your  consciousness might be an illusion. The  world might be an illusion, right? But  consciousness itself, perception is by  definition the one thing that is not an  illusion. Now, Dennit's whole thing  amounts to basically I popped my ears.  Um, Dennis whole thing amounts to  basically denying that consciousness or  or specifically qualia exist. Okay,  qualia being the things you perceive.  And it's just argued. I mean, it's  honestly like reading his first off his  book is really beats around the bush  because it's basically arguing something  ridiculous. Um, but when you get to it,  like he's basically making this argument  of he's taking the things about  consciousness that are vexing or  problematic and then denying the whole  thing. Okay.  Um, so like there's not I mean I  recommend you to read it. I mean you can  also I recommended the book um mystery  of consciousness by John Surl because he  has a back and actually I have it right  here still just brought it in for my  car. Um he actually has an exchange with  Daniel Dennett which I think is pretty  instructive as well if you want the  short version of it again mystery of  consciousness John Sorl um where  basically he writes Surl writes you know  a critique of Dennet basically saying  okay he really just doesn't believe in  consciousness or qualia he thinks it's  all like an accident or some or somehow  in I don't know how you could even think  like basically in order to not believe  in consciousness you have to either  totally change them you really just have  to change the meaning of what  consciousness means. And Dennett has  this extreme, as I said in the video, I  think Dennett has this really uh petty  response that basically I mean it he  doesn't deny anything that Sorl says.  Basically admits it all and uh says that  oh well the idea that consciousness  exists it's just like some you know it's  it's a meme, you know, literally a meme.  Um and uh you know it's just some  convention we have. It's an illusion we  have. But the the point is when we're  talking about consciousness, we're not  talking about our erroneous perception  of the world. And I don't even think  Dennit is talking about that there. But  consciousness is perception like that.  That's what that is. I mean, not like  perception and that your eyes take in  information, but the fact that you like  have this cognitive theater. That's what  consciousness refers to.  Um, denying your own consciousness.  That's some next lover level postmodern  deconstruction. Well, it's not really  postmodern. I mean, it's more I mean,  it's more like h like Dennit is sort of  influenced. I wouldn't call him like a a  logical positivist because no one is  really a logical positivist. No one  calls themselves by that anymore but  he's influenced by that sort of  vitkinsteinian way of thinking and also  a sort of behaviorism right so he he his  methodology is to look at behavior and  ignore the cog I mean behaviorists I  mean I pretty I don't think I've done a  video on behaviorism but you know  behaviorists basically thought that  using arguments about in the internal  world were non-scientific not because  originally not even because they denied  the internal world or denied  consciousness, but they just said it's  not objective. So scientifically, we  can't analyze it. And gradually as time  progressed, they basically ended up  saying things that amounted to, oh well,  the internal world isn't objectively  verifiable, therefore it doesn't exist.  And Dennit sort of is is saying things  like that. I'm not trying to say that  he's saying this exact argument, but  he's basically saying we cannot  objectively observe subjectivity,  therefore it doesn't exist. Okay? So  there's a different thing from saying,  you know, I know that I'm conscious.  Okay, I might not be able to objectively  prove that I'm conscious. Okay, but I am  that the one thing that I actually know  is that I am conscious. Okay, um and me  not being able to objectively prove that  does not mean that I'm not conscious. I  I don't know what's so difficult about  that to to understand.  What are your opinions on Rafie? How do  you think it compares to Dmenu? Um, I  mean it it basically is a supererset of  Dmenu. It can act as Dmenu, but I don't  use it because I don't need any of the  other features it has. So, I use Dmenu  because it's simpler. Uh, I think there  were some super chats a second ago. Let  me double check. Okay, so Sir Evil  Pudding actually gives another five.  Says, "Transparency makes text on  terminals unreadable." Anyway, love your  stuff. Okay. Well, it depends on what  level of transparency you're using. I  mean, if you think that the transparency  in my videos is unreadable, I don't know  why you'd watch my videos, but I'm  pretty sure in basically everyone I have  transparency. if you're me. See, I I  forget what Let me see what what the  level of my transparency is. I don't  even know. I mean, I think it's like  maybe 80% opacity or something like  that. Really big. And I also nearly  always have uh dark backgrounds. Now, if  I were on a background like this  background here, the Windows Bliss  thing, that would be nearly impossible  to read. Um but, you know, that's just  how it  is.  Surely you can try and prove others are  consciousness but you being conscious is  actually matter. I also think so the  whole idea of logical proofs is  something people need to get out of  their heads especially when it has to do  with I mean maybe I'm just too tbian for  this kind of stuff but um you know in in  real life there's no there's no reason  for a logical proof like people will  like one of the the grrain comments that  I got on that video on consciousness is  and I got it from like five grug brains  and they say dude prove that you're  conscious. Whoa, dude. How can you do  that? Whoa, man. That's so deep. Okay,  what does prove actually mean? Okay,  seriously think about what does prove  actually mean? I mean, maybe it has a  meaning in mathematics, but in real  life, when you prove something, what  does that mean? Establish it beyond  doubt or something like that? In real  life, I mean, there's no such thing as a  proof. Okay, there's we've built up, you  know, the risks, whatever risks we have  of getting things wrong are such that,  you know, so small that we can still  assume that it's true and be fine,  right? So, I make the assumption that  other people are conscious, right? it  probably actually doesn't actually make  that much difference in their behavior,  mind you, but whether I believe it or  not, or my behavior to them, but um like  the idea of proving things is just so  stupid. Like whenever you're doing it,  it's just that's not the point, you  know?  Um you can prove it, but you can't  disprove it. I mean, it doesn't matter.  Like, who who cares? Like you know my  standard for deciding what to do is not  proof or non-proof. It's okay what what  are this I don't want to say what the  chance of something happening but a part  of that and also a part of the risks  entailed by failure. I mean like we  talked about in the last episode of not  related that I did as a stream. We  talked about the non Pearson approach to  uh judging hypothesis. Okay. So he had  the idea that basically for any induct  in any inductive area you can't prove  anything or in fact it's not even the  same thing. He didn't even call he  didn't even use the term inductive proof  or inductive reasoning. He called it  inductive behavior. Now I don't exactly  ascribe to his linguistic description of  it. But you know his account of how do  you make decisions is you judge two  alternatives. you find what the what the  potential consequences there are of each  of you know making a bad decision in  either case and make a statistical  judgment is what the right behavior is  there's no proof in there it's just how  do I decide how to make a good decision  and uh this is one of like one of the  autistic things about how people think  nowadays is they think in terms of  proofs as if anything meaningful can be  proven or disproven okay in reality you  should make decisions not based on proof  or disproof You make decisions based on,  you know,  uh, you know, blacktail, blacktails  versus the chance of things happening  and other things like that. You know,  blacktails, black swans, you know what I  mean. Fat tails, whatever they call  them. Thick tails. I prefer thick tails.  Um, 100 se. I think that's Swedish  coroners. I don't know. Um, how do you  plan to protect your cabin from pagans  and other savages? Well, there aren't  many pagans and other savages where I  other savages where I live or where I'm  going to live. We'll just say that. Um,  but you know, I'll probably I'll  probably eventually get I I actually  don't own a firearm now. You can call me  a cuck, but I don't own a fire firearm  now, but I probably will get one. I'm  not quite sure what. Probably something  that's good for hunting around there.  You can hunt, you know, there are  turkeys, there are boars, there are some  deer, other things like that.  So giving people two alternatives is  where the fault lies. I I'm not saying  two. I'm just saying you can give them  any number of my pro my point is there's  no proof or disproof. Those are  meaningless ter whenever people are  talking about those they're just just  ignore everything they say. Okay?  Because it's all word games. Like most  of philosophy nowadays really all  philosophy in the 20th century is just  word games. like people are talking  about like um uh you know proofs and  disproofs and stuff like this and you  know taking words too seriously or  trying to define things that you know  are beyond definition. I I maybe that's  a weird thing. Maybe you don't quite  know what I'm talking about but most  philosophy nowadays is just a word game.  Okay. Um, and it it's silly like most of  you know most of I'm not saying  everything's conjectures and reputations  in the way that you know traditionally  thought but um just the whole idea of  proofs and dis it's just too much like  stop thinking in words that's what I'm  trying to say you know if you can put  your ideas in words you have bad bad  ideas you  know  Um, two Australian dollars from Richard  Gnuman. Have you ever done LSD?  No. Yeah, I guess I'm getting more  Australian dollars. I think we're like  in an actual good time in  Australia. I actually don't know the  time in Australia right  now. How much it is? Is it okay? It's  about midnight. Getting close to  midnight. So people are actually barely  awake. I guess when I usually do  streams, maybe it's like in the morning  for Australian  peoples. Have you gone to our  philosophy? It's cancer. Well, yes, I  know that because it starts with  R. Could you elaborate on not thinking  in words? I have a constant train of  thought I can't seem to control. I mean,  well, there's a difference  between having words appear in your  conscious mind and you actually thinking  in words. I mean may I think for some  people words can be like a scaffolding  kind of co cognitive scaffolding but I  think if you I mean it's it's hard for  me to understand to put in words well  actually this is what I this is sort of  what I mean I think if you are in a  place where everything you think is  verbal and you have no like your  cognition is nothing beyond verbal then  you probably have really simple  cognition that that's what I'm trying to  say I don't know how to stop doing that  I mean it seems impos It's very hard for  me to put things in words. Um, so for  example, a lot of the stuff I do in  linguistics is very uh, you know, my how  my theory of language differs from uh,  you know, Nam Chosky's theory of  language. That's something sort of  difficult to put in words and it's very  hard to explain to people um, because  it's it's abstract and there's not a  vocabulary behind it. Uh, I'm I'm not  really a word thinker and uh, it just  doesn't appear. I mean, the way I the  way thought appears to me is just not in  words. Sometimes when I'm doing  something very robotic, I think in  words, but that's like uh I it seems  like lower level more autistic uh  thinking. How can you think in words  only? I don't actually think people  think in words only, but I think they  perceive that because they have  this, you know, constantly running  cognitive theater where they're  narrating  things. That that's my view of it.  I think also, you know, one other thing  about word thinkers is um they think  like word I mean it's it's hard to  explain like people  who ask you. So I I've said this before  in streams, especially this is obvious  in like the political domain where  people are basically acculturated in our  culture and they're taught to be afraid  of certain words. Okay? So you know  maybe you're afraid of being called  racist or something like that. I don't  know. So some word that there's negative  feeling being a Nazi or something like  that. Okay.  So one funny thing is that you'll see  online is you'll see people asking  people who they know well are you a  racist you know people whose opinions  they know you know and what's  interesting about that is it it it comes  from a position of word thinkers where  someone's behavior someone's actual  thought which is wellknown actually  doesn't matter or what someone's views  or actions are they don't matter what  matters is do you ascribe by this word  that I have been programmed to hate.  That's what it matters to people and  that's like word thinking and a lot of  people do work like I mean I've said  before there are some especially in the  political domain I mean but this is true  in other domains as well people are  mostly programmed against words and  programmed for other words you know  democracy good equality good you know  and um their political beliefs aren't so  much beliefs they're just sort of  bouncing back and forth between these  words trying to you know find a place  where they're not going to rough waffle  the feathers of the people who  programmed the words in them, you  know. So, I mean, once you're at the  point where you don't care, I mean, it's  not as if you become you just become  super redpilled and you, you know,  become a fed poster or something like  that, but I mean, um, you just get at  that level where you're not interested  in like, you know, people people will  ask me, are you, I don't know, alt-right  or something like that. It's not even a  meaningful question. What what would it  what difference would it make if I were  wasn't you know what I mean? Um because  this word when they're asking there's  not factual content behind it. They're  asking u it's a word that they've just  been programmed against and they're  asking am I supposed to like you or not.  That's when people use terms like that  that's how they now I'm not saying that  some of these words for example you know  uh Nazi might have a real definition but  it's not used in that definition. It's  used simply as a word that people are  programmed against. You know as an  example. I'm going to get some more  water. Actually, think I have my jar  over  here. Herder ideology is not real. Yeah,  that's right. There's no such thing.  Hey, Luke. Is Deos Mortuus a good Latin  translation of God is dead? Yes. I want  to get an edgy sweater. Although, you'd  be better if you put the S at the  end. That is like really gay though.  That's supremely gay.  Why are all programmers use jars as  drinking glasses?  Why do you think people should go to  church? You said you'd go into it in a  video and never did. When did I say that  in a video? I don't know. I mean, that's  not the kind of question you should even  be asking. Frankly, look at the lives of  people who go to church and then look at  the people the lives of people who don't  and who watch Rick and Morty on Sunday  morning.  I think Luke is actually an atheist. He  believes religions are constructed. I  don't know what that's supposed to mean.  Although you can take I mean you can  take what I said earlier about the uh  Neon Pearson uh decision theory and  apply that to religion. And I think  that's appropriate. The idea of belief  actually is extremely autistic. there's  a different I mean even actually  nowadays Christians get this you know  screwed up because they think belief and  faith are the same thing histo  etmologically historically those are not  the same thing um but after the  scientific revolution especially  especially frankly my denomination of  people you know evangelical you know  southern baptists and stuff like this  they have a lot of trouble with this  because to them belief and faith are the  same thing so a factual belief in um I  mean, one example where where I'm  different from a a bib biblical little  literalist, I don't believe in the  Garden of Eden Eden at all. I no no  factual content to that at all. I think  it's entirely uh mythological. Okay. Um  but there's a difference between belief  in that literal event, you know, the  fall of man in the garden of Eden and  faith in a religion generally. And this  is something actually the apostle Paul  talks about in some you know even the  even the demons believe you know what I  mean. Um so there's a difference between  belief and faith that I think people get  confused about. Um because in reality  like especially a lot of like the  internet atheism is an attack  on belief or like factual statements in  the Bible that are basically either not  true or not supposed to be true. Um, and  I think that that's one of the reasons  that people who are a little autistic  get I mean the thing the thing is when  it when it comes down to it belief in  God is almost like a tautology. Okay,  you could describe the universe as being  having God behind it or not. Um, I'll  just say that and the fact is like a lot  of people have this idea of the cartoon  god, the god as being like some kind of  humanesque consciousness on the  universe. That is not that is not that  kind of god does not exist, right? Um  and in fact if you go to any theologian  of any major religion they will  basically tell you that that kind of god  doesn't exist. A a god that exists as a  character who is um you know who has  emotions and feelings and stuff like  this. Okay. Now of course many religious  texts describe God as having emotions  and acting like a human but it's not the  same thing.  Um, so I  anyway, do you believe in the  morals believe in the morals of the  Christian religion like love your enemy  and turn your cheek? I think that spec  specifically the cucked morality of  Christianity I mean that that's famous  like turn your other cheek you love your  enemies that kind of stuff. I think all  of that should be understood in the time  and place it was given. Okay? Nowadays,  people are far too cut to need that kind  of recommendation. Okay? Because people,  you know, people 2,000 years ago, of  course, people would look out for  themselves and not harm their own  families and not they weren't  pathologically altruistic. That's not to  say that path, you know, saying  something saying to someone like that  who's self-interested that you should  constrain your self-interestedness,  that's a fine thing to say. That's not  the problem we have now. Now we have  people who are basically masochistic  um and destroy ent their entire  countries because of their cuckness, you  know. Um so I think the recommendation  should be very different for our uh for  us and and I think the literal recommend  the literal moral instructions are or  the literal statements are sort of  ignoring the what actually is important  So do you think that heaven is real as  it's understood by the average Southern  Baptist? So it depends on Southern  Baptists don't believe in pl I mean  first off another misunderstanding about  most Christian denominations is the idea  of the spiritual realm. Like there's  this alternate realm of heaven and hell.  Okay, that's a platonist abro abrogation  on Christianity. you know, it's not it's  not really the core original meaning.  And I think most people who you talk to  who actually have historical or  theological knowledge of Christianity. I  mean, I think, yeah, as you say, like  your average boomer, your boomer Christ  believes in there's like an alternate  spiritual realm of heaven. Okay. Um, but  that's not really the the I mean, keep  in mind like in in keeping with like  traditional Hebrewism,  um,  Christianity at at its basis believed in  a literal resurrection like heaven  heaven quote unquote is basically a  literal resurrection of man. And you  know, the de what happens after that is  unclear, but um, like people are given  new bodies, spiritual bodies, but they  are physical bodies. you know, they're  not plonistic bodies in some alternate  realm. So, the belief, you know,  Christians and Jews at the time believed  in like a resurrection, a literal  resurrection, not like this um  platonistic alternate reality or  something like that. Now, of course, the  the views on that nowadays are  different, but you know,  um, hey, Luke, please. This is from uh  J95.io. he get sends to you or is hey  Luke please redpill us on Waco. I don't  know that much about I mean I know the  basics about Waco. You can look it up on  an internet documentary on yourself. But  you know they didn't do nothing wrong  and the government killed them all. So  that's to what's to know about Waco. You  know,  uh, Markx Freud and Nze have dismantled  Christianity from a philosophical  perspective. Yeah, Nietze, don't include  Nichze in that list. I mean NZ was  anti-Christian in some sense but for  totally different reasons that Marx and  Freud and other you know Jewish  intellectuals  or it's not it's not really the same  thing. I mean NZ was basically  criticizing Christianity or a the  hyperliberal version of Christianity  from the right. He had a very different  I perspective on that. I mean he Nietze  does talk about things that leftists now  think of as being you know  deconstruction you know or stuff like  that. Um the uh what is it called  the trans of whatever of all values I  forget what it is in English but you  know what I mean. Um, I mean, he talked  about that kind of stuff, but he was  attacking basically a uh a the same  thing we were just talking about, the  turn of turn the other cheek form of  Christianity where now all Christians  are all self- aacing and and you know,  destroy themselves and everything around  them. So, yeah, I mean, Nietze people  will think, oh, well, Nietze said God is  dead, so that makes it edgy and atheist.  No, that's not that. It's not the same  thing. Nze was  anti-Christian but for totally different  reasons and him saying God is dead is  not like we have disproven God or  something like that. It's no God in the  way that he existed no no longer exists  for Europe. Europe has fallen to atheism  and he viewed that as a bad thing you  know even though he might have been  again this goes back to the autism of  like thinking that the points are  literal beliefs. Nze probably didn't  believe in any kind of god like as a a  literal thing but he also viewed atheism  as pretty much or at least atheism as it  was happening then as a pretty bad  social development. It was a really he  looked at Christianity in the same way  that people now like Moldbug look at  Christianity that is it was perverted in  to this particular Protestant way of  looking at man. You know the equality of  man before God and stuff like that and  which gradually evolved into a kind of  humanism a deification of God which  gradually became you know secular  humanism, atheism, unitarian  universalism.  You know, atheism when you look at it  evolved. I mean, there's a reason, you  know, in Europe, for example, the  countries that are atheist are all  historically Protestant and they're not  necessarily historically Catholic.  Atheism emerges wherever a particular  variety of Protestantism is. And that's  because atheism is really just a dialect  of a particular liberal approach to  Protestantism.  $2 from Steuart  Vulk. Doesn't say anything, but thank  you.  A lot of people will ask  me, well, I'll wait for someone  to Hey, look. What do you think about  communists and their attitude rel to  religion? There's absolutely nothing  redeemable about communists.  opinions on Jek. I have the correct  opinions on Jek. that is I don't think  about him or care about him at all.  Are  Confucianism is Confucianism as useful  to Chinese as Christianity in the West?  Depends on what you mean by useful. I  mean, I don't I'm opposed to  the, you know, top- down removal of  Confucianism from China in the same way  I'm opposed to it in America, you know.  um as to I mean people will often  compare them in the same words as if I  mean you know we have this concept of  religion in the west and sometimes  people will take philosophies of China  and put them in that that sort of a  mold. I don't know if that's proper but  uh I'm certainly opposed to the the  communist attempt to sort of blot out or  at least back in the day. I don't I  assume things have changed now, but back  in the day when they were trying to sort  of blot out Confucianism, I mean, any  kind of any kind of social design I'm  against. I don't know if that's clear  from my other  videos. Do you watch Striking Mike? No,  not really.  I think I saw a couple of them, but  uh is the left right spectrum a meme? Do  all ideologies really fall between those  two camps? Um the leftright dichotomy is  not a meme, but it isn't  ideological. Maybe I'll just say that  and let you think about it.  I mean, if you're looking at ideology,  you're looking at you're really just  looking at the words people say to  rationalize what they they want to do  for other reasons. That's all it  is. I very much agree with Markx on  this or at least I actually am more  extreme in this kind of thing. Of  course, it includes Markx and in  includes me as well, frankly. Um the  idea like ideology is just like how  people rationalize or put a logical mold  over the things they want. You know  Luke will never never tell you his  personal beliefs. It's a hook to keep  you coming coming back for more. I do  tell everyone. I answer all my questions  pretty straightly.  Frankly, the thing is most stupid like  most things people are asking about are  just dumb. Like there's no proper  opinion to have about Jordan Peterson  for example. Who cares like no it  doesn't matter you know what what are  personal belief again the whole thing  the whole theme behind what I think I  mean what you should learn from boomer  ransen woods or whatever or all the  stuff I say is that personal beliefs  doesn't mean anything you know uh you do  as I just said when talking about  ideology ideology doesn't mean anything  it's like word thinking it's putting  words on things that you already want to  do for other reasons right so let's you  could go back and read um Uncle Ted's  manifesto. Okay. One of the first things  he notes is that when you look at  leftism, for example, what he calls  leftism. Um what leftism is, you could  try and put, you know, political titles  on it. You could call them sort of  socialist. You can call them whatever.  It doesn't matter. Leftism is a  psychological state. And people believe  it because you or they put on  ideological garb because it gratifies  them. Psych psychologically it gives  them power because leftism is I mean you  can read the you can read his uh  industrial society in its future which  is very brief and find out what he means  by it but the whole point is personal  beliefs like what your factual claims  about something don't matter or your  ideology don't matter. Okay.  Luke, you have no nuance views on  ideology. There's no nuance views to  have on it. Anyone who is out of that  bubble realizes how stupid it is. Like,  I could I can make autistic nitpicks  about, you know, anarchco capitalism all  day. It doesn't matter, though. Anyone  who is outside of that bubble sees it  for what it is, you know?  All right, these questions are boring  me. Have you read any Spanish  authors? Spanish meaning from Spain or  Spanish language? I don't know if how  many I've read from  Spain. I think I have a couple. I mean,  I I know I have like Bourhees and stuff  like that. If you're just talking about  Spanish language, I think I have a  couple of his books. I've definitely  read I've nearly read everything that  Bourhees wrote. Um, aside from that, I I  don't know. I There's some Spanish  language stuff that I like, but  um, how do you differentiate religion  from ideology? I see it used in the  exact same way. Um, superficially, yeah.  So there's uh there's a sense in which  there's not really a division between  those but importantly religion is so  ideology is usually what contemporary  people who are you know based on the  modern uh the the modern political  environment they create ideologies to  get what they need done then when  religion is usually I mean in its  original definition right religion is  just folk customs and stuff like that  the thing that things that bind together  society and stuff like that. So in that  definition, they're different. But I  mean, if you're looking at it in terms  of like what is the difference between  um you know your stereotypical college  SJW, how are their beliefs different  from a religion? They're not really in  any meaningful sense. Um but you know,  not as if that's good or bad. Um but  when it come when people usually use the  terms when I use the terms I have a  positive view of a religion because I  understand it to be something you know  religion is usually the the  the I guess cultural heritance of a uh  or patrimony I guess of a society and  you know it comes with a lot of moral  prohibitions and and little tweaks that  changes people's behavior to nudge them  in the right direction. Ideology is just  something that, you know, usually the  people make up to get what they want out  of the political environment, you know,  or or even worse, uh, do that and then  create some kind of logical strand over  it to make it seem like something  rational.  What are your thoughts on meditation as  a means to understanding consciousness?  Lots of neuroscientists have been  memeing about Buddhist practices and  meditation. Yeah, it's all it's all a  bunch of I mean, if you're using  meditation for understanding  consciousness doesn't even mean  anything. I I don't know what people are  talking about. I mean, I've said I've  made comments on meditation before.  Meditation and when I say meditation, I  don't mean it in some faux  spiritualistic sense. I mean it let's  say you take five minutes a day and you  do nothing. You don't have your  computer, you don't have your phone, you  don't have anything. and you're  basically in a sensory deprivation tank  or in a place with without distractions.  I think that is a good thing, very good  thing. And if you do it, you'll realize  very quickly that that 5 minutes will go  a long way. And I think that's the same  whatever good people get out of  meditation. That's about the same thing.  It's just remove distractions, allow  yourself to organize your thoughts and  think about what you actually need to  think about. And you know, you'll have a  lot of good come from that. But as for  does meditation or some goofy Eastern  practice and blah blah Buddhist nonsense  tell us about science or something? No.  I should probably I need to pull up the  chat over here. Give me a  second. Do you think that people still  need religion? As far as I see, most  people keep up with customs but don't  really care about religion, even if they  don't admit it. Okay? Well, there's no  difference between religion and customs  in any meaningful sense. I mean, if you  look at look at people who are 30 years  old who abandon their their churches and  sleep around for 10 years and then can't  get married and don't have anything,  okay, they're not doing fine. If someone  had like irrationally told them to  abstain from sex, their life would be a  lot better. So, it ends up it's not very  irrational. Just minor example. So  people people will say, "Oh, we don't  need religion because I don't like it or  because I don't like the consequence. I  don't like the inconvenience or  something like that." But um and as it  comes to it, people might complain about  particular aspects of religion. But I  mean again, this is like your personal  rationality versus something, you know,  emergent in society, right?  Mero talks about consciousness. Mimro  has no inner monologue. There's a  difference between word thinking and  being  conscious. NPCs are non-concious. Basic  thinkers are word thinkers. Normal  humans are people who don't think in  words. Can think in words, but they're  usually thinking in something more  abstract than words. I know you're meing  because they're meme arrows, but  whatever. I'll respond to it. Seriously.  But Luke, religion is obedience to  tradition, whereas spirituality is  belief in a higher power. I'm guessing  that's a joke question or joke  comment. Spirituality is just mumbo.  Spirituality is just bug bugman pretend  religion. When you abandon your  religion, when you reject your heritage,  when you leave church, when you do do  all the terrible things, spirit, what's  called spirituality, that's the cope.  It's just a bunch of platitudes to make  you pretend that you still have that  connection. Okay, that's and everyone  knows that. Okay, this is this is why  I'm not religious, I'm spiritual. If you  ever I mean, that's something First off,  that's something a woman says, you know,  some some kind of 22year-old thought.  That's what something she would say. But  it it's just an utter spirituality  doesn't mean anything. Okay?  Spirituality is just, you know,  dassinated religion, which is just  nonsense. You might as well just watch  porn, you  know, Luke, why did you paywall cabin  vlogs? No one cares about tech videos. I  don't I don't understand that. Why did I  well why I paid pwalled the cabin vlogs  is because I want few people seeing them  cuz I well they're not exactly doxing  but I just don't want many people seeing  them because they'll be going into more  personal information. I've only done I  think I've done three of them so far and  there I'll probably do two pretty soon.  Um, so yeah, I mean it's just supposed  to be for people who I mean not for  everyone. That's  all. Why religion when you can use  epidemiology? I guess that's a  joke. How do I quit porn by stop  watching  it? It's all you have to do. Just stop  watching it. I mean, well,  there I've said this before. I should  probably just say it in a video. I mean,  if you want to stop bad tech habits,  watching porn, watching 40 hours of  YouTube videos a day, I don't know how  that's possible. I'd be impressed if you  could do that. But, um, if you want to  stop bad habits like that, the solution,  like you have to think about what the  alternative is going to be. Okay? So,  instead of watch, let's say you watch a  lot of porn every day, what are you  going to do aside from watching porn?  You're just going to sit here? you going  to sit in your chair and just do nothing  on your computer screen? No, you have to  do an alternative to that. Okay? So,  leave leave the house, you know, remove  yourself from the  temptation. There's you're not going to  build up you're not going to build up  your your um there's the myth here.  There's a myth that like and I and I had  this as well when I was a kid. Oh, well,  I'll build up a resistance to it, you  know? I'll I'll just get used to  handling the temptation. I'll have the  temptation in front of me all the all  the time, but I won't fall for I'll just  get good. Okay, that is the stupidest  cope in the world. That's the stupidest  stupidest rationalization because you  know you're going to do it. Okay, so the  correct response is depriving yourself  of the temptation. Leaving, going out,  leave your phone, take a walk, take a  2-hour walk, you can walk wherever,  okay? Walk to the grocery store, just do  anything. See friends, call a friend.  doesn't do anything. Read a book. Read a  book somewhere else where you're not  going to touch  yourself. Just do anything. Okay, that's  all you have to do. And that is actually  going to make you more capable of  resisting it because once you've broken  the cycle of of upcomies, literal  Cummies when you watch porn, then the  psychologically that's broken. Okay?  When you come back, you'll be able to  easier e more easily resist temptation  since you have not been exposed to the  temptation. The idea that, oh, I'm going  to be exposed to a temptation and  therefore get better at resisting it.  No, that doesn't  happen. What? No porn. I'm pretty sure  that's a human rights  violation.  O, $1 from Timothy P. Beach. Thanks for  the dollar. I don't think there's any  comment on that, though.  Yeah.  Exactly.  Exactly. What is your opinion about  materialism? Which of the five  definitions of that word do you mean?  Porn should be legal, but only for the  reason that it makes the weak weaker.  Oh, that's a hot  take. I don't know if I agree with you,  but um that is a hot  take. It's a  possibility. I mean, there is a sense in  which most of modernity is a huge like  culling of the population.  We're now getting to the point where we  have thankfully we have so many incelss  out  there that are, you know, ins incelss on  the male side and then like thoughts on  the female side that are never going to  get might have a lot of sex, but they're  never going to get married and they're  going to or if they do, they're going to  get married when they're 35 and can only  have one child and it has Down syndrome,  you know.  Aren't childless men functionally  incelss? I think you're pretty right  about that. That would make me an incel.  Geez, that would make a lot of guys  insc. But yeah, there's a truth to that.  I mean, the thing is, you know, if  you're just out there having sex with  random people, what does it mean?  Doesn't mean  anything. There are incel women. Just  saying. Not really. Yeah. Yeah. Not  really. There are extremely a I mean,  I've I've met virgin women who are  around my age, but they're us they  usually were used to be fat or something  or they're super awkward. Um or they're  foreigners.  So thankfully I don't really consider  women of my age anyway. I basically I  think maybe 24 is the oldest I could  possibly do with a  woman. I I mean I might do 25. I don't  know. That that seems a little  old. Stop shilling pop OS. I think  you're on the wrong channel. Oh, maybe  he's talking to someone else. I don't  know.  Sabaton is overedited garbage and  Sabaton fans are gay. I actually sort of  agree with that. Sometimes I like their  music, but then I I like listen to their  music or their lyrics and I'm like,  "Wow, that's extremely  gay. How old are you?"  29. What advice would you give to new  YouTubers? I might do a separate video  on that. I have a couple things that I  could  recommend.  Um, metal is pretty gay, chat. Yeah,  metal is actually really I actually  theoretically I like like metal music,  but I really loathe like metal lyrics,  you know, all the screaming and stuff.  Like I wish they could just not do that.  When I was a kid, I always tried to find  bands that were like hard rock or metal  that just like had decent vocalists and  I just could never find one. Just can't  happen. I mean, the closest thing you  can come close to is ones with female  vocalists. And the thing with female  vocalists in metal bands is they  actually sing, which is very  interesting.  Totally unheard of in other metal bands,  but best bers on album. Well, all the  metal ones are garbage, so whatever. The  most recent one is Days of Y. whatever  the one on all of his  videos. What about Ramstein? Extremely  turbo gay. It's hard to I don't I don't  know if I can find a metal band gayer  that. Mega death.  No. What boards do you browse? None.  Someone yesterday sent me a post from 4  gag or maybe it was 8 gag. I forget  which one, but it was uh he was like,  "Dude, someone doxed you." And there's  this post. It was this OP, which was  gay, of course, but this OP with like  personal information about me. And it  like said that I lived in  Arizona or something like that or like  uh it had all this personal information  that was either public information or  just like utterly wrong or something  like that. It's like this is the  absolute state of  doxers. Well, it's not even doc. He  probably just posted it as a fun  post, but he gave some random address in  Arizona. For the record, I live in  Statesboro, Georgia. Okay, everyone  knows that. I've done videos saying that  I live here. Okay, it's public  information. And the fact you know that  I don't live in Arizona because I do  boomer rants and woods. There are no  woods in Arizona. There are no trees in  Arizona. Or if there were, the trees  there are basically glorified bushes.  Also, I mean, if you're really good, you  could easily find my phone number and  you could easily find exactly where I  live. Um, I don't particularly care. I  know some people know my phone number  and where I live, but it does it doesn't  matter. Like, I'm not the kind of person  who's like afraid of being doxed. It  doesn't matter. And especially where I'm  going to be moving, if someone doxes me  there, I'd be more annoyed because, oh,  this is like the house I I want to have  for the rest of my life. But I'd be more  annoyed for that reason. But it's so out  of the way that like you'd have to drive  like 2 hours even if you're in the  closest city to get to it. So it's like  whatever. No one's going to do that.  Yeah, people are confused. Yes, I I  attend the University of  Arizona, but I'm a PhD student. I live  in  Georgia. Georgia is where I I came from.  And also in this doc post, it said that  I lived in I forget. Well, maybe it was  like  Mesa, which that's not where the  University of Arizona is. The University  of Arizona is in Tucson. I'll tell you  where I used to live. I used to live in  the eighth eighth street. Wait, I forget  what it was called. Campus Crossings,  uh, which is a little south of the  University of Arizona campus. I forget  exactly. Maybe it was on 8th Street or  something like that. So, you can go see  where I used to live, one that old  apartment complex. I actually lived on  the ground floor. Uh, so people and I'm  also the kind of person like if you if  you live near where I live, I always  keep my windows open. I always like I'm  basically outside. So you would there  probably some people who know exactly  where I am, you know, just by  accidentally seeing  me. Oh yeah, also in the docs post. See,  this is like I I'm disappointed someone  can't even dox me. Right. in the post  that said that my my my domain host was  um HostGator. Any [\h__\h] could just ping  my server and learned that I have a  Vulture server. Okay, you could just  ping my website. The absolute state  Luke says, "What modern societal values  would you change if you could?" Well,  I'm against that kind of stuff. But the  whole thing about modernity is that it's  not so genuine societal values. It's  just uh you know, basically a hostile  elite telling the dumb normies what to  believe. Okay. So, my solution to that  isn't re-engineering society, you know,  forcing everyone to go to church or  something like that. Force everyone to  stop watching porn. Well, maybe I'll  maybe I'd ban porn because I mean,  there's just no redeeming quality, but I  wouldn't force people to do things. I  would just abolish the negative  influences. All you have to do is crush  the university system. All you have to  do is crush the permanent bureaucracy.  And society works itself out, you know,  in all times and places as long as there  aren't uh the problem is there are just  organized negative influences that have  come to be for different reasons. We can  talk about that, but um it actually has  to do with technology. One of the  reasons society can get so degenerate is  because we have so much technological  wealth.  Frankly, if we were were poorer or lived  more minimalist lifestyles, we wouldn't  have, you  know, universities where you were taught  that there are 30,000 genders and and  you know, that the your greatest moral  duty is to move millions of  um millions of foreigners into the  country or something like that.  Do you not think it's hilariously  hypocritical to still be doing your PhD,  etc., while [\h__\h] on universities for  the fast past few years? What's  hypocrit? I'm not doing anything. Am I  giving a university anything? What  should I just I mean, as it happens, I'm  not actively working on my dissertation  anyway. you don't just magically quit.  So, what am I supposed to say? Oh,  please stop uh please stop grading  telling me to grade papers and giving me  money for it. And no, of course, the the  fact that I'm exposed to a university  makes me qualified to speak about it.  So, there's a difference between saying,  "Oh, well, things are I mean, this is  the same kind of it's the like fake  hypocrisy how it's misunderstood. It's  like the same thing that people say,  "Oh, you know, I'm a libertarian, so I  think the government should, you know,  reduce its constraint on our lives." And  then someone says, "Ha, well, you use a  road and that's made by the government."  You know, it's the same kind of  stupidity. There's a difference between  acknowledging that something has  incredibly negative effects and, you  know, living your life in a way that  might involve that. You know, now I I  reserve the right to, for example, work  in a university system. I could do that.  Okay, if that's the best option, I  probably won't. But that's not  hypocrisy, right? It's like or it's like  saying, you know, you know, you're a  communist, but you have an iPod. Okay,  whatever. I just gay. Like, that's not  hypocrisy. Is someone holding a moral  standard for other people that don't  they don't hold for themselves. Now, I  tell people not to go to school. I'm not  calling them evil, you know, to go to  universities, but I am telling them  they're not going to get what they  expect. You know what I mean?  So, I got what, you know, I went and I  didn't get what I expect. And I inform  other people that that's the case. Now,  they're not hypocrites if they go, you  know, I'm not a h I would be a hypocrite  if I knew that the university system was  evil and I told people to go do it. You  know, go get education because you'll  just learn so much. Or, you know, trust  your professors. That is hypocrisy. So  this is  like this stupid misunderstanding of  what the word hypocrisy means to own  people who you think are better than you  is just gay, you know.  What do you suggest doing instead of  going to uni? Do the stuff that's going  to get you a job or make you productive.  Like what what do you what the hell do  you think a university is supposed to  do? Like genuinely, please explain to me  cuz I apparently don't know. Okay. What  is a university going to give you? Okay.  Is it going to is it going to make you a  better worker? No. Is it going to make  you a critical thinker? No. It's going  to do the opposite of that. It's  actually going to do the opposite and  make you a good worker. The only thing  that a university the only good that a  potential university degree can get you  is the fact that you know that a lot of  employers have the now false assumption  that that adds value or even that it is  a proof. Oh, this person can go through  a four-year degree. They have like the  basic level of competence to do that.  That's the only potential good of  getting a degree. Now, if you're  especially if you're in computer  science, there's just no reason to get a  degree. You can easily prove that you're  a capable worker by, you know, having a  good GitHub, you know. So there's just  no point in doing  it. Universities give you a paper or  social networking potential. Yes, that's  right. That's what universities give  you. Now, the question you need to ask  yourself is, is that worth  $100,000? Okay? Because here's the  thing. You can uh you can get the  networking opportunities. You can go sit  in classes if you want. You don't have  to be a student there. You can just sit  in classes. You can learn all that  stuff. You can meet other people. You're  going to realize you're not doing much  learning. Um and yeah, you can meet  people at universities, but you can also  meet people by, you know, I don't know,  having a YouTube channel. I don't know  anything. Like this is the thing. Like  people have this weird idea that, you  know, if they if they didn't spend four  years at college using all that money,  that four years they would just be in in  limbo. They'd just be in this gray room  where there's not they don't accomplish  anything.  Good grades at the right university can  help you get into research centers like  CERN. Okay, great. Yeah, you'll be one  of 50 people, you know, working on some  project there. Who cares? I mean I mean  if this is the stupidity of it like  people will there people will dangle  these high status jobs in bureaucracy  you know like being a professor being a  you know being a politician or something  like that they'll dangle things in front  of people. Now of course the hundreds of  millions of people who go to college are  they all going to be able to get that  kind of job? No. Of course the  99.99999% of those people are just  getting nothing. Okay. So saying  something like, "Oh, you could get some  kind of you could get a Nobel Pri prize.  You could get, you know, this great  professorship. You could do all this  great research." A, who's to say that's  even worth it? But B, you're not. So be  realistic about  it. Let's encourage millions of people  to go compete for a tiny pool of super  elite jobs. Yeah, that's that's the  thing. I mean, it's like it's like if we  if if, for example, political science  degrees said, "Oh, you should um get a  degree in political science because  you're going to become president." It's  absurd. It's I mean, the math isn't even  there, you know. And of course, people  who do political science degrees, I  mean, in America, politicians are  usually like lawyers or  something. I mean, I I will say  Republicans nowadays have more boomer  tier jobs. you know, they'll have like,  you know, engineer or something like  that, but especially if you're a  Democrat, you pro you probably have a  law law degree, but political science  degree, that's like a millennial thing.  I mean, I guess there might I have a  friend who has a I think a political  science degree and she's running for  Congress. Um, okay, this cat wants to  come in my room. I should probably let  it in because it hasn't eaten all day.  That's what happens when you have to  care for someone else's cats.  right. Yeah.  Toxopplasmosis. All right, kitty. What  are you doing? Oh, don't walk on the  keyboard. Please don't walk on the  keyboard. Stupid cat. All right,  fatso. My dog killed an African  immigrant. That's a classic one. Watch  out, African  immigrant. You're going to get eaten by  a  dog. Oh, great. Now it's going to sit on  me. I was about to go pee, but Okay.  What? You want food? It's in the other  room, you dumbo.  How do you stay so fit and  sexy? Don't eat  sugar. Oh, there's an African immigrant.  All right, let me open up the chat. Let  me double check super chats. I don't  think we've gotten anyone recently, but  I will check regardless. Remember to go  to the  donate. I was going to say link, but you  know, you have to type it in.  Lukemith.xyzdonate. Many ways to donate.  Um I think it's too hard to see. Yeah.  Well, I'll move  it. There we  go. Probably still hard to see. Maybe I  should just put a background on it. I'm  too lazy. too lazy. I'll do it next  time. Whenever I start a stream, there  there's always like something I end up  wanting to do at the last minute and  then people complain that I'm late, but  who  cares what happened to the whole SJWs  taking over the open source thing? Did  it stop? I don't  know. We're going to take over open  source. Open source. Open source is like  the soy devis term. I mean, I hate to  sound like the FSF, but it really is  like so  stupid. It's free software, kids. Libra  software, whatever. Then again, free  calling it free software is stupid, too,  because that can mean cuz like liter no  matter how many times you explain it to  some brainlets, they will forever think  of it as being free of cost. Like you  can sit there and like in my videos  where I the last video where I talked  about free software why I use it. The  number of people who still responded as  if I'm talking about software that is  free of cost is just ridiculous. I mean  it's just like I don't even understand  how dumb people could  be. Freedom software. Yeah, that's an  option I guess. never heard that used.  But yeah, like I I did that video and  people would still be like, "But you can  just pirate Windows and get it for  free." I literally talk about that in  the video. I I don't even know how dumb  people can get, you  know? All right, cat.  Freedomware, assuming people watch  videos before commenting. Yeah, you do  get that. I do see that when I release a  video within let's say I put out a video  that's 20 minutes within two minutes or  probably within 30 seconds frankly  someone will be like wow I love the  video blah blah blah blah blah it's like  no you didn't I'm sorry you just you  just randomly said that I'm not really  complaining but it's like come on man of  course then again when you put out put  it put out a video immediately people  are just going to like like it or or  whatever.  Imagine running another man's binary on  your machine and not being able to  change it. Yeah, I know. It like  literally is is cuck software. Like  literally still better than those first  comments. Yeah, it's funny to me that  people actually do first. Like that is  that's pretty gay to be  honest. Oh my god, people are still  asking about the form. Who's going to  tell  them? What?  Kitty, it's an African immigrant licking  itself on my uh  dresser. That's a little  awkward. Free software equals Chad  software. Yeah, I could call it  that. Oh, and then the other So, the  other thing about this is particularly  the FSF. So, the FSF is extremely petty  as an organization, and I think everyone  understands this, even if you agree with  the FSF. Um,  and like literally Richard Stallman, I  don't know if it's him or the FSF, I  forget which one, but they have like a a  list of like trigger words, basically  words that they object to using, and  they autistically explain why they don't  use them. I mean, it's not even that I  disagree with any any of those. It's  just the mentality behind it. But when I  did that video on free software, which  explains what free software is and why  is it important and why I support it, I  got many long- winded emails from people  from FSF people who complain that I  didn't adequately  uh differentiate them from open source  or or differentiate or made this stupid.  I mean, this is the thing about these  pimp people's mentality. They're so  autistic, they can't even stand someone  agreeing with them because I didn't I  didn't spur out and autistically explain  why free software isn't the same as open  source despite the fact that I use both  terms in their proper no one was saying  that I was using the terms incorrectly,  mind you, but that I didn't adequate. I  didn't say I just like to interject for  a moment. Free software is not open  source software. It's totally different.  Now, first off, I will say there are two  different types of open source that  people define differently. Frankly,  people use the word in two different  ways. Sometimes people just say use it  to mean um maybe even cat. No, not on  the keyboard. Um people use it sometimes  to mean just any kind of software, even  proprietary software where the source  code is visible. I think sometimes  people call this like source visible  software or something like that. I  forget exactly there's another word for  it, but sometimes people use open source  just to mean that. Okay. Other people  use open source basically to mean the  same thing as free software. So, you  know, source code you can change,  modify, distribute in a GPL compatible  way, but FSF people will still get mad  when you use open source in that way.  And they'll get mad at open source like  that because it is not it's not based on  uh ethical freedom. It's it's you know  just because it is exactly the same  doesn't mean that you know we we we're  not going to complain about it  basically. Okay. So they'll complain  about oh well it doesn't it emphasizes  you know development instead of user  freedom. And it's like this is the like  people can literally agree with you on  everything and just not just talk just  agree with you for maybe a different  reason and they will still counter  signal them. It's ridiculous. You  know, this like this is like why people  don't like the FSF. And of course, I  mean, I I like the the FSF does  incredibly good things. But every once  in a while, I'll have someone comment on  my video like the FSF is like bad for  free software, man. They're just like  too they're they're too pure. They're  care too much about purity or whatever  like that. And um you know, there's a  you know, I'm criticizing them because  they're autistic basically. I don't  disagree with anything they do, but um  their attitude definitely causes people  to like or say some say stupid things  like open source is good, but free  software that's too much. Okay, they'll  say stupid stuff like that. And that's  only the only reason people say that is  because the FSF is  is pretty annoying, you know, in their  personal disposition sometimes.  Why not call it Libre Software or  Libraware? Because that sounds  ridiculous. Cuz Libre isn't even a real  English word. It's not even easy to  pronounce. I like FOS, but why exactly  do you think it is a good thing? Well,  why don't you watch the video I put up  like a week ago on that? It's probably a  sat I shouldn't get mad at that. It's  probably a satirical  comment. That's actually how I usually  when I get a stupid comment, I'm usually  just like, "Oh, that that guy's probably  just trolling." But I'm starting to  realize like um either people are  trolling a whole lot more or I'm just  having an audience that's more  oblivious, I  guess. Yangwear, that's a good one.  [Music]  What programming language do you prefer?  Whatever pisses people off the most. I  don't know. I don't actively do  programming. I mean, if I did, I'd  probably just write and see, but Oh, I  need to um I'm going to read some  Streamlabs donations because I think  I've gotten a couple of  those. How do you find books read by  people that are not IYIs? I have read  some of those. You recommend and usually  like those. So here's a heristic I had  in college. Whenever in college, and  this will actually force you to read a  whole lot of books nowadays, but my  personal heristic in college is whenever  one of my professors or someone else or  I apply this to like journalists as  well. If a journalist or a professor or  anyone else refers to a book as racist  or sexist or or Nazi or something like  that, immediately read the book. Like  make it the first thing you do. that  will immediately expose you to just  things that'll blow your mind. Um  because first off, the people who say  that kind of stuff, they've never they  don't read books. Just their view of  books is let me see what the New York  Times review of books said about this  book. Now I know what to believe. I  don't even have to believe it. They  might buy the books, but um yeah, they  don't usually read them. Maybe they'll  they'll open them up conspicuously and  run their lines around them or run their  eyes on the lines, but um they don't  read them. So yeah, that's a good  heristic. Whenever you hear whenever you  hear someone of the intelligence getting  upset about a book, that's a good reason  to read it. Now, some of them are bad.  Um every once in a while you run into a  bad one, but there's a whole lot I've  been exposed to just by that just by  living by that heristic.  All right, I'm going to read um some  donations. These are on Streamlabs.  Sorry, I'm getting to some of these a  little late. I know some of you guys re  uh sent them in a bit ago. Can you talk  more about your Windows history? Um this  is from uh Cassie  KCZ. Um can you talk more about your  Windows history?  When when and why did you switch?  And so sorry it's like not it's not 100%  English. when and why did you switch and  on your computer history in general? Uh,  I think I'll do a separate video on  that. I might record I was thinking  about doing something like that, you  know, within the past week or so. So,  I'll explain. I I'll give you, you know,  when I switch the Linux and all that  kind of stuff. Anyway, thanks for the  donation. That's $2. Uh, MadA sends in  $5. Have you ever heard the theory that  you can't prove that what's behind you  is real unless you look at it?  Okay. Well, proof isn't, you know,  whatever. You know what I feel about  proof. Um, uh, let's see. I got a super  chat. I'll read that in just a  second. Uh, $2 from uh, it's insuric  arade. I I don't I'm not really good at  reading cerillic. I think it's arcadey  or something like that. I currently have  uh nine years a nine-year-old MacBook.  Can you and chat please help me find a  working laptop with a price  like a used X240 ThinkPad Elite Book but  more thin and lightweight. Thanks Luke  in chat. I I don't  know. As for something like extremely  thin, I don't know. I mean, X an X240 is  I mean, the X series is about as thin as  it's going to get in terms of ThinkPads,  and I just recommend that. I don't I  don't know why you particularly need a  hyper thin Mac style laptop or whatever,  unless you just like the aesthetics of  it, but I'm not sure. Maybe someone in  the chat  knows. Uh, $5 from simulated internet  friend. Thank you, simulated internet  friend. He says, "Do you think it's  possible to implement your philosophy of  computer use in a small business  environment? Also, any group wear  suggestions?" I don't really know what  you mean by groupware to be honest. Uh,  actually, maybe I should look that up  just to see if it's not something  obvious, just a term I haven't heard.  Oh, collaborative software. And I mean,  not really. I don't really I mean,  unless you're just talking about Git,  that works for me. I don't know.  Um, honestly, not. I mean, I wouldn't be  the best to ask because I don't I don't  really work on collab, especially in  software. Like, I don't really work on  many collaborative projects. I mean, I  basically just have my git repos and I  really just have a master branch that I  push everything to and it's just me and  a couple p pull requests from others.  But, um I think uh you know, if you want  to do something on the the terminal, a  common thing people do is you know log  into an uh maybe log into someone else's  computer with SSH and maybe share a  T-Max session or something like that.  That's an option. So you can sort of do  the same stuff  together. Anyway, he says, "Do you think  it's possible to implement your  philosophy of computer use in a small  business environment?" I mean, yeah, I I  think so. I don't see why not. I mean,  there are a lot of people who use my  configs, Larsbs, and stuff like that in  uh small businesses and stuff like that.  I know that sounds really weird for me  to even say, but yeah, I've gotten  emails from people who do that kind of  stuff. Um I I you know I make it for  individuals but like honestly it'd be a  lot more simple if you just use simple  tools to do networking and stuff like  that. I mean um unless you just I I it  depends on what you're doing honestly. I  can't specifically  um give you advice about it, but I  definitely think  Yeah. Tat donated $2 super chat. Do you  uh any movies you recommend? No, not  really. No, no movies that are have been  made in the past 50 years or so. I don't  know. What's a good movie? What's a good  boomer? It's a Wonderful Life. I don't  know. That's a That's a nice movie. back  when uh there were Christians in  Hollywood. Um what does he mean by this?  Yeah, I don't know. I can't really think  of a good um movie off the top of my  head. There aren't very many good ones.  I mean, I have a lot of movies, but  um they're just not like there used to  be a period where maybe when I was like  more bluepilled where I could watch  Hollywood movies and now when I watch  them, I just like cringe the whole time  or whatever. It's just, you know, too  much.  Elurn donated two euros through super  chat. Have a nice coffee or I didn't  read that before it disappeared off the  screen. Have a nice coffee or something.  You make great content. Thank you. Thank  you for your two euros.  So, I might put on a video here. As you  know, I eventually have to take peas  because I'm drinking water non-stop  during these streams. So, anyone have a  video they want to watch? We can watch  together. Just a brief one. No more than  a minute or  so. Two girls, three cups. No, I haven't  seen that  one. Let's see what kind of videos I  have. Maybe we'll just watch a boomer  video, you  know. How long is this one? I don't even  know. Go to theater mode. Hold  on. Which Patreon goal does Luke sing?  Uh the free software song. I've thought  about that. Thought about doing  something like that. Maybe less or maybe  reciting like the copy pasta the you  know what what is it called? The um  interject copy pasta or something. Why  is my webcam not appearing on the  screen? There it is. Why is the chat not  appearing on the  screen? Oh well. Let's just watch a  video.  Yep. Quake was a good  [Applause]  game. Nothing like a nice firm  handshake.  Wow.  You heard of this Bitcoin  thing. All right, that's some boomer  stuff. Where are we? Okay, there.  Now we're back. Was that audio on? I  hope I turned the audio on for  that. Okay,  good. All right. How big is your meme  folder? Tattoo asks. Let's find  out.  Uh, du pix memes. Oh, I was actually  um 4.6  gigabytes. I was actually thinking of  doing a meme review  video. You might um just to do it.  People have been asking me. So, I was  probably going to go through my G  folder, remove all the memes with happy  merchants in them because it's YouTube,  and then just scroll through the rest of  them in a video, maybe even in a live  stream. Maybe I'll do that at some  point. So, um that's an option. And you  can feel free to send me memes,  uh technology memes or anything like  that. But, uh I need to I might need to  get more ones. I haven't been on 4 gag  in like  forever. I haven't been on 4 gag in like  two or three years.  That's See, I just downloaded a bunch of  memes back then and  um I've been running off them technology  memes since  then. Meme  review. Maybe I should get some memes  Uh, oh, I keep forgetting I I blocked  4chan. Uh, I'll have to undo that in a  bit. I'll just do it later. G memes have  been the same since 2007, so you're not  missing much. Yeah, I didn't think  so. Why is water trapped in the jar?  Anyway, uh was there a super chat a  second ago? Feel like there was Oh,  yeah. I was the one that said, "How big  is your meme  folder?" Yeah. So addicted. I I blocked  it. No, really. I just just didn't want  it there. Like um I mean, it's very  rarely that I'd actually try and go on  4chan, but it'd always be a waste when I  did, so I just blocked it. Or no,  really, I just have an enormous block  list and 4chan is in it. I mean, I  didn't like specifically say I'm going  to block 4chan, but you know, not  missing anything. I should I don't think  I actually have Reddit  blocked. I'm not quite sure. I need to  double check. So, I think I made So, I  made some server changes and I wanted  to, you know, prevent brainlets from  getting to my website where like, you  know, or basically I also wanted to  prevent my stuff from being shared on  like 4chan and Reddit. So, I made some  server settings. I think they're active  now. That should if you're link to my  website from 4chan or Reddit, it'll  automatically give you like a 403 error  or something like  that. So that hopefully that will  prevent my stuff being posted on Reddit  at least. Although 4chan usually you  copy and paste the links unless you have  some kind of plugin.  I seriously wish I could just like ban  people from seeing seeing my videos. I  know that's a weird thing to  say, but um it would be nice just to be  able to do that.  Who would you ban? Pretty much anyone  uh like the same pe like so there are  some people who will like  just post lowquality posts all the time  and like harass people and I'd sort of  just like not only to be able to ban  them from the channel but just like ban  them from videos like you just you can't  be logged into your account to see my  videos. That would be nice.  Um, it's honestly kind of annoying, you  know? It's just like, or there's another  thing where like I'm I'm actually  terribly afraid of, let's say, one of my  tutorial videos being beneficial to  someone who's like bad. You know what I  mean? That might sound like a funny  thing to say,  but do you prefer Fed post or extoost? I  don't actually I'm not actually  redlisted on what an exo post is. I know  people talk about them, but I don't  really know what they  are. What's the difference between var  and  exorgs? Okay, this is epic. This is  epic. Uh, let me check.  Um, I didn't miss any other Streamlabs  donations, did I? Okay, I don't think  so. Exto equals extermination. Oh, no.  Yeah, I'm more of a fed poster than a  exto poster. A  poster. What do you mean by someone who  is bad? I don't know, like a a communist  or  something. Thoughts on the Libram 5  phone? Yes, I'm very sick of people  asking me about it. I don't use phones.  I'm not a I don't the the only thing I  use a phone for is recording my boomer  rant and woods videos. That's what I use  a phone for. I don't use a phone for  anyone who has my phone number knows  that I will just not answer anything.  So having a phone that's like all free  software, that's cute. But I mean it  makes it makes like not a big difference  in terms of you can still be monitored.  I mean you might not be monitored by  your specific applications, but you  know, you're on your network, you can be  tracked.  Um I don't know how they do. I mean I I  assume they have GPS hardware switches.  I hope they  do. Or I guess I mean if it's if it's  free software, I guess it'd be okay if  they just had a software switch.  But Luke is complaining about commies  while acting like a commie. Big  brain. In what like Jordan Peterson tier  brainlet brain am I acting like a  commamie?  The the one of the weirdest things is  like when I get comments on a video like  people will see my videos and I will get  comments like you're a communist or  something like that and like these like  boomers who like literally look like  this guy here will comment on my videos  like you're a communist. I don't like  you're a far-left. It's like, dude, how  how can you even watch my videos and  think something that  moronic? Free software is fundamentally  commie. Okay. Well, free software is  also anarchco capitalist. Doesn't make  any difference. It's total free software  is totally in line with Murray  Rothbard's theory of property rights.  Okay? And it doesn't mean anything.  Please stop talking about Jac and  Peterson. It's just  kids  stupid. Do you watch Tim Cast? If so,  what are your views on his video? Is  that Tim P? I don't. Either way, he's  like sort of boomer takes, but you know,  maybe he's just not fed posting. Maybe  he's more redpilled.  What's the brackets  mean? How do you get yourself to make  videos? Like motivate myself. Is that  what you're saying? I don't know. Just  do  them. Just do them. I just have an idea  of what to do and I do a video.  That's kind of dumb to have only right  and left. You can't put someone's  opinion on a 1D spectrum. Yes, you can.  You absolutely can. As I said earlier,  opinions, ideology is just a LAR. It's  just a facade that people will want  their own special snowflake, you know,  viewpoints to make their, you know, what  they actually want in politics more  clear. When you actually ignore ideology  and you look at things esoterically, not  even esoterically, maybe even  exoterically frankly, but if you look at  things ignoring the stupid the words  that people describe their opinions  with, you see, there's really only one  dimension and there's some people  pulling from one side and some people  pulling from others. The  pretense that there are all these  different differentiated special  snowflake ideologies is just stupid.  Opinions don't matter. like ignore  opinions, ignore ideology. When you  actually look at politics, you see it's  literally just a one-dimensional  struggle. There there can be details,  you know, there can be exceptions, but  by and large, it's a one-dimensional  struggle.  Have you tried Neoim? I use Neoim in  every  video. Any suggestions on take This is  $5 from simulated internet friend. Any  suggestions on taking notes from  reading? Avoid hierarchical  organization. I was about to do a video  on  note-taking. So, you ruined it by asking  the super chat. No, I'll probably still  do it, but um eventually once I finish  the roads  video. Um, uh, I don't take notes. I  don't take notes at all categorically.  Just don't do  it. I think it's a meme. I've never  taken notes. The last time I took notes,  I'll probably talk more about it in the  video, but the last time I took notes  was in seventh grade where it was a  literal requirement for us to take  notes. And when I did take notes, I took  notes in like picture format just  because I was bored and I wanted to draw  on the paper and because we had to have  so many notes to fill up a page and then  drawings can take up more. But yeah, I  don't take notes. I never take  notes.  Neov. Oh, it's Grug. He He He's  redpilled. He He knows the meme. But if  he were someone stupid, I would say  Neoim several months ago. That's when I  started. I think Grug Perry Berry Picker  is actually one of my favorite  commenters.  He gets like I think his heart [\h__\h]  ratio is extremely high compared to  everyone  else. No ticking is my favorite  meme. I love paying for Luke's  healthcare. I'm not a boomer yet. I'm  not a literal boomer  yet. Implying that social security will  still be around.  How do you remember all that stuff?  Because I don't remember things with  notes. I remember things with my  brain. I I don't I don't even understand  why people take notes. It makes no sense  to me. Like it's notes is like a cope.  Notes is like I mean, okay, so it's sort  of like this. Actually, I'll use this  example in the video. So, I'm stealing  my I'll AB test it on you guys because  you're the elite, right? Because you're  watching a live stream at 11 in the  morning or whatever. Notes. Taking notes  when you're trying to learn something is  sort of like going to a gym and having  someone else do the lifting for you.  That's what taking notes  is. The you you learning the stuff. That  is the the goal. Okay. That that's the  goal. So why would you make a piece of  paper learn it for you? Okay. You might  as well just have someone else go to the  gym and do your lifting. I mean it's  sort of like there's a I forget what it  might have been like animeiacs or  something. There's some old cartoon  where like there was a uh you know how  they used to have whipping boys. You you  know what that is like when there was  like an aristocrat who had a bratty  child and they didn't want to sp this is  the most ridiculous thing ever. I mean  this wasn't so common of a practice but  when an aristocrat had a child and they  wanted to punish it um and but they  wouldn't want to punish the child. they  would have a whipping boy that they'd  whip um and just like in front of the  child just to make him feel bad. So  they'd whip someone else and anyway,  it's sort of the same thing. Now that's  ridiculous. Uh or anyway, there's a  cartoon where it was parodyied where  like um I think it was animeiacs where  like the whipping boy also if the the  kid needed to go to the bathroom, the  whipping boy would go instead of them.  Um which doesn't really work out. I also  think there was an episode of Spongebob  like that, but whatever. Um, anyway,  it's like that. So, if you take notes,  note-taking is basically, actually, I  should probably use cuckleding  analogies. Those are very effective.  It's basically like having a piece of  paper cuck your knowledge. That's  basically what it is. Okay, that's what  note-taking is.  I take a similar  bridge. Take a similar bridge when  having sex with my GF. I have someone  else  doing I don't know why that made me  laugh so hard. Um I just didn't expect  it even though we were just talking  talking about [\h__\h] an analogies.  Your analogy applies to the literal  copying from the whiteboard, but most  often you write down your own  interpretations on paper for later  reference. Okay. Well, no. Why would you  Why don't you just write them down in  your brain instead and refer to them  later? Do you use TLP or any kind of  power management? Okay, so I think I  have TLP installed on my laptop now. I  only just started using it um a couple  weeks ago and it just totally burns  through my battery life. I It maybe the  settings I just have the settings are  bad or something, but it's supposed to  like really extend your battery life,  but it just doesn't work. I I mean, I'll  probably have to tinker with it to get  it to work, but you  know. Luke, do you geoblock Indians from  the channel? How come there aren't any?  Thanks loyal fam ba uh based best fan  guy. Um no I don't block Indians. Um I  actually have a lot of Indian  subscribers. They don't comment as much  or sometimes they will comment but  they'll just be like they'll look like  everyone else because they'll have anime  avatars because that's the kind of  people in India who watch my channel. Um  but yeah, I definitely do have lots of  Indians who watch this  channel. I think a lot of them have been  me'd. I know that like pajets are a meme  here. So,  um, so they're they're careful not to  ask about cell phones or other pajet  technology. Hey, Monte Yadav says, "I'm  an Indian." That sounds like a Jewish  name. Yadav sounds like a very Jewish  name, but okay.  Matthew Drew or Depu, not Drew, Depu.  Uh, donates $5. What books would you  recommend for learning Chonguan grammar?  Uh, well, I recommend the beginning  Chinese, whatever it is, the John de  Francis series.  Um, hold  on. I have one of these is lent to a  friend. But, um, the John de Francis  series, they have green books and red  books. Okay. And I always recommend  these. I'll do it again. Uh, here's the  inter intermediate Chinese. The green  books, how they work is they're only on  pinion and this is like more for spoken  language stuff like that.  Um, these are the best books in the  world. Okay, this entire series, both  the green and red, they're the best in  the world. Just get it, okay? Um, but  these are fantastic. They have there are  audio. There's audio that accompanies  them. I think all of them. It might just  be the beginner ones, but there might be  audio for all of them that you can  download that's out there.  Um, uh, but yeah, these are the best.  They have like drills in them. They have  like grammar drills and pronunciation  drills that actually f focus. They're  the kind of things you can do to  yourself and they'll still be effective.  I'll just say that they are very  brilliantly designed. I'm not I'm not  going to be autistic about how great  they are, but that just know that. And  there's the red series. Again, these are  entirely in pinion. There is a version  that has Chinese characters in them, but  um there the red series is what's used  for uh learning the characters. And how  it works is each  chapter each chapter you learn 10  characters. Okay. And then so you learn  10 characters then you have a list of  all the combinations of those characters  that form different words or words with  characters you've already learned and  then you know they have reading stuff  like that and uh so this basically this  is on characters this is on opinion and  both of them they're frankly separate  topics and these books are the only  books I've ever found that address them  basically perfectly. So yes, use  those. Um, so I think there were other  super chats. I'll double  check. But yeah, that's what I recommend  for learning Chinese. Now, as for if  you're just asking Chinese grammar in a  linguistic sense, it doesn't really like  if you're looking for like academic  grammarss of Chinese, I have no  particular recommendation, but pretty  much anyone anything would  do.  Um, so anyway, thank you Nathan for your  donation. Uh, $2 from Todd Off. Last  donation, opinion on Cowboy Bbop. Don't  have any opinion on Cowboy BBop. I like  Boomer B. Let's watch Boomer  Bbop. Hold on. Let's watch Boomer Bbop,  guys. Oh, wait. This is going to get  copy stried. I don't want to get copy  stried. Uh, you guys can see yourself.  Go get this 30-year-old Boomer Bbop. you  can watch it on your own time, but I  don't I don't want to get demonetized  because it would annoy me if I did like  a two hour like when we're watching  videos, when we're doing a video stream,  I just know it's going to get  demonetized because there's going to be  so much music or whatever. But on this  one, I'm not going to do it just to play  a one minute video. You guys can look up  Boomer Bbop. Um, but no, I don't I don't  condone anime as it comes to the  original question. Don't condone anime.  I've seen Cowboy Bebop. It's boring.  So, um, user Ben  Ry4n donates $2. What do you think of  dumb phones, uh, feature phones? They're  better than smartphones, I guess, but  you know, I see the phone I like is a  landline. I'll probably actually be  getting a landline when I'm uh in my  cabin. Oh man, it's actually ridiculous  how expensive like internet and stuff is  out there. I mean, the internet of  course is terrible, but it costs I think  what they told me is it would be $60 a  month just for internet and $80 if I  want a  phone. And that's like ridiculous to me.  I'm just like Jesus Christ. That's  insane. I'm going to put these books on  a second.  That's also one of the reasons I I'm not  a big fan of net neutrality because out  in the middle of nowhere, we would be  one of the biggest beneficiaries of net  neutrality totally being  eradicated because basically That would  mean I could buy an internet package  that's metered by bandwidth or, you  know, I could buy this uh, you know, I  could basically have a more customized  email or internet package. Um, and it  would be really nice for me if I want to  do streams or upload videos or something  like that. Um, but you know, but there's  no reason trying to explain to Redditors  that net neutrality is not the greatest  thing in the world.  Yeah, I mean that that is the most  ridiculous thing that like the internet  they I also now that I upload videos I  also really hate how there's always a  huge gap between download time or  download bandwidth and upload bandwidth.  It just hates I just hate it so  much. Uh like to upload like a video I  record on my phone which might be like  two or three gigs. I need to start  changing their codecs or or formats or  something so they reduce size. But in  order to upload one of those, I mean,  it's like, you know, if it's like two or  three gigs, maybe four gigs, man, that  takes forever if you're on, you know, 10  megs up or something like that.  MC King45 the hero donates 700 huffs. I  don't know what huffs  are. Let's look it up. He says, "This is  all I can give. Also, congratulations.  Thank you for your  huffs." Oh, that's Hungarian currency.  Okay. So, thank you.  If given a chance, would you take an  interview on Joe  Rogan? I wouldn't object to it. I  mean, since you don't have a smartphone,  do you consume any entertainment,  YouTube or podcast? I mean, I have a  computer. I can watch YouTube  videos. I can listen to podcasts, but I  mean, I don't really, honestly, I don't  really consume that. I probably produce  more content than I consume at this  point. Show me Jamie, show me that  picture of that guy drinking  monsters. Uh, when will you ditch the  computer as well? I don't know.  Possibly. Well, I want to possibly soon.  I'm trying to think.  Um, you know, since I'm going to be  moving in a  woods, I'm thinking of very radical ways  of totally changing my life, you know,  like totally change, you know, I think  maybe when I finally get the EOMA, if it  ever comes, like if it takes three years  for it to get here, whatever. But when I  get it, maybe I'll use it as my main  machine if I can.  Are you worried about SJWs trying to  censor your channel in the future? Maybe  Bash is offensive in the future or all  the memes will be directly linked with  white supremacy, implying they aren't  already. Look at this guy. Look at this  guy. This guy looks like he could chase  Mexicans out of the country with his  lawnmower.  What's your thesis title and subject and  how it's go? How is it going? You can go  on my website and get my thesis if you  want to read it. Finished it in 2015.  In patriotic America, the lawn does  Mexicans.  H makes you  think. Will you try to grow your own  food in a woods? Yeah, I will. I'll I'll  be growing like the first thing I'm  going to do probably do videos as I'm  doing this. Frankly, um I think I mean  I'm still going to be doing the  uniboomer's cabin for patrons, you know,  boomer tier patrons and of course that's  a very small number of people cuz I sort  of want it to be like that. But um  although, you know, you can give me  money and get it if you want. But um I  think um what was I going to say? Yeah,  I'll keep doing those videos, but those  will be like more personal, more like,  you know, direct. Um, more things I  don't really want getting out. But I  will be doing videos of what I'm doing  in the cabin, so to speak. First off,  it's not a cabin. It's a house. It's a  real house. It's a house that's been  around for 100 years or so. It's been  remodeled. It's in good condition right  now. Um, but um, it is a house. It  basically is in the middle of the woods,  but I will be making like a garden and  that's probably going to be like one of  the first things I do. And uh I I'm  basically thinking through all the all  the stuff I want to do, the things I  want to plant immediately. Um you know,  what kind of I I'm thinking about doing  raised beds. Uh I'm probably going to be  going to an old abandoned chicken house  and, you know, shoveling a whole bunch  of soil, getting it over there. So, um,  you know, that'll be a part of my  channel. And again, I think I said  earlier in the the video, the stream,  you know, I'll probably put up a video  or two a week on like sort of house  stuff. So, you know, we'll we'll see how  it  goes. But, yeah, I mean, the goal is I  mean, I'd like to within a year or so,  I'd like to be able to not have to buy  any kind of vegetables or potatoes or  any of that kind of stuff. I want to get  all that for free. And um I might be  able to get a lot of my meat for. So the  meat down there, oh my god. If you go to  the grocery store there, it is so cheap.  It is the cheapest thing in the world. I  mean, a whole like thing of meat, like  if you go get chicken in a like little  plate like that, it's like $5. It's  insane. Or sometimes $2. It's insane.  But that's what I'll probably be doing.  But I I might start hunting as well.  I've never actually really hunted, but  So, um, Nathan Dew says, "Can you talk  about your time in Jung Joe? I accepted  a job in China, and I'm curious about  life in chai, uh, China, culture shock,  etc." Uh, China is  dirty.  China, yeah, you'll have to change your  definition of what cleanliness is.  That's probably the biggest thing. I  think in most respects, it's pretty  similar to a western country, but um,  yeah, the cleanliness is very different.  Their definition of cleanliness is like  maybe pouring water on something. Um or  like uh rural children will poop on the  floor. I don't know if you know this  already, but like um little kids, you  know, they don't have diapers. They  don't really do diapers, especially  rural kids. They'll just walk around  without pants. And uh whether you're in  the train or anywhere else, kids will  just take dumps wherever they want. Just  pee wherever. That's just a normal  thing. I mean, it's actually not a  normal thing. Urban people don't like  that in China. But um I mean there are  just little little things like that.  There's nothing I can really give you um  to tell you, but you know, you'll get  used to  it. Oh, $50 from Dion. I guess that was  a minute ago. I I missed it, but uh  yeah, $50. Thank you. He says, "Congrats  on the 50k." Thank you. A dollar for  each thousand.  Sweet. Appreciate that a whole lot,  Dion. I think Dion gave me another big  donation a couple streams ago. I think  that was him. Maybe I can double check.  I think I can search his history. Yeah,  he gave me a hundred bucks a while ago.  Oh, yeah. He's the one who said he he  got a  job relevant to things um based on the  channel. So, thank you,  Dion.  Anyway, I do sort of wish like, you  know, now that I hit 50,000, I do wish I  had like a dollar for every subscriber I  had. That would be nice if I just had an  a $50,000 cash injection. That would be  nice. So, I'm doing I'll talk about my  finances  briefly. Um, so you know, I'm getting  this house, how I'm doing it. I'm not  actually going to buy it right out. I'm  going to do a So, it's actually owned by  a relative of mine and we're going to do  a rent to own kind of thing. And I  wouldn't ever do a rent. Rent to own is  often like a scam. Um, but since it's  family, I feel okay about doing it. But  we're doing a rent to own thing. So, for  two years, I'll I'll nominally rent it  and my rental money will go to paying  paying for it at the end of that. And  anyway, I'm trying to do math so that  when that time comes, I will have uh all  the money to just buy it outright and  not need a mortgage. So, I won't have  any debt. I would like to be able to do  that. And I think the way I I did the  math, I think I need to put  on, you know, have an income of around  3,000 bucks a month or something. Or not  an income, but like leftover money of  about 3,000 a month. Um, which I'd like  to be able to do. I don't  know. But, uh, I might be able to get a  job down there. Now, if I'm just doing  my dissertation and doing YouTube, I'll  be able to make ends meet. Probably I'll  be able to pay my rent money or  whatever. Um, so I might just not have a  job, but I really want to have a job  because I want to be able to pay the  stuff off at the beginning and not have  debt and hopefully like make big  improvements to to the area, you know,  have a big garden, um, have a bunch  there are a bunch of tools I need to  buy, you know, like I mean, first off,  like I might actually have to get a  sorry VR, but I might actually literally  have to get a mower just cuz I have a  lot of um a lot of open area that um I  mean the garden is going to be a part of  it, but there's going to a lot of open  area and I actually have to keep it  relatively in good shape. I mean good  shape. I I totally agree with the don't  mow your lawn thing, but because I'm  going to be living around family and  there's some other things going on. I  sort of need to um but um so I need to  get a bunch of tools. I need to get a  saw. I need to get wood. Need to, you  know, have all these things like even  basic things like shovels. I don't have  buckets. I don't have because I've been  living in apartments for years. But you  know, here you go, Luke mate. Two  Australian dollars from Goblin King.  Thank you. And $2 from Mark Perez. Is is  going to a UC for data science worth it?  Well, I wouldn't recommend going to the  UC for any reason. Um, it depends  on I mean you can take what I said  earlier about going to college as my  general recommendations and that I would  say  no. But you know if you have some  particular reason to go in there for one  year if you're not paying anything fine  but the UC's I think are particularly  far gone in terms of universities. I I  it just won't be a pleasurable  experience. I mean, even if you went  there for what I I sometimes recommend  people, you know, it's okay if you have  nothing to do and you're going to be  able to go to college for free.  Sometimes it makes sense to go there  just because you'll meet people, okay?  You might take a computer science course  where you meet someone who knows someone  else. Um, and um, you know, you might  end up I getting some connections for a  real job. Okay? Don't go there because  you're expecting to learn anything. If  you learn anything in college, that's  like an accident. Um but you know so  some people might have some benefits  from going there for a year or two but  the thing with a lot of colleges  nowadays especially with core curricula  where you have to take two two years of  social justice education  um before you do anything else that  sometimes makes it not even worth it. So  um you know it's it's your call. I don't  know that specifically what it's like to  be an undergrad at UC because I've never  done it so I can't tell you. Uh, $2 from  Panama Jack. Well, here's two for me.  Thank you, Panama Jack. And I think  there was one on Streamlabs. Let me do a  little check. Just a second. Uh, yeah,  Nindor sends $2. Hello. Hi, low linen.  Thanks for the great videos. I did not I  did not thought that I would enjoy Linux  and Suckless so much. Yeah, and who  would have who would have thought you  could actually enjoy Linux? It's not  what other people make it out to be.  It's not um just autistically reviewing  desktop environments over and over  again.  and desperately wishing for them to be  exactly like Windows or  Mac. Yep.  So, you guys can meme all you want, but  SCS are actually faster and more  efficient than any lawn  mower. I'm inclined to agree with that.  I've never actually tried one, but  scythes are lindy,  so maybe I'll think about getting one of  those. But I actually in the time I'm  going to be living renting it, renting  it to own it. In those two years, part  of the agreement is that I don't have to  mow the lawn. Like someone else is going  to come and mow the lawn. So some other  boomer is going to come with his, you  know, ride-on mower and mow the whole  thing. I don't have a say over it.  So, but uh I do I do want to mow it at  least once cuz around my So I'm going to  be turning 30 in October. So, I want to  do a video around that time of me  literally like literally looking like  this. Me in my on a a ride just mowing  my lawn. I'll release it on my birthday  or something. You guys know when my  birthday is, right? I have the same  birthday as uh 4 gag. So, whenever if I  do go to 4 gag on my birthday, which I  don't condone going to for gag, but if I  do, there will be birthday hats on  everything.  That was sort of funny. The first time  it happened, I was like, how do they  know it's my  birthday? In addition to a scythe, I was  thinking about getting one of those non  motor lawnmowers. You know what I mean?  The ones you just push and it's just a  bunch of little scythes that cut things  down.  What are the pros and cons of going for  a PhD? Well, I'm not familiar with any  pros, unless you just want to do nothing  for a couple years. I guess the pro is  the past couple years I've had nominal  employment that doesn't pay that much um  at the university and I did for a  period. It's not implying I still have  it. Um, so if you if you want to get a  PhD, going to graduate school, if you  get paid for it, basically you'll have a  lot of free time to do whatever you  want, including starting your own  YouTube channel. If you are going to do  it to get a PhD or to learn something or  anything else, that's probably a waste.  You can learn I mean, I did learn stuff  stuff in my PhD program. Wasn't from  classes. It's usually from hanging  around other graduate students. But um  you know, you won't learn anything  useful. Um as for cons, the cons are  basically everything. It's a huge waste  of your time, a waste of many years. Um  you will have you will be constantly  beholden to like literal stereotypical  SJWs.  um like for your monthly employment you  will basically have a miserable time  working with the bureaucracy. Um you'll  realize like how basically every  academic is  um sort of an automaton and it's very  difficult to get any get them to  understand anything. I don't I don't  that's that's a weird thing for me to  say, but  um I mean the last video I did so on on  like the Chinese room experiment, I  mentioned the fact that people like  Daniel Dennett or Steven Pinker have  just for like decades literally  misunderstood the Chinese room  experiment and have actively popularized  the fact a fake view of it. That's  actually pretty normal in academia. And  if you want to get someone to actually  like people are so set in their ways,  they find it very difficult to just  understand ideas. I don't know and the  same thing the same thing in  linguistics. So if you try to explain to  Nam Chosky what a neural net is or what  optimality theory is even though you  know optimality theory for example is  commonly used in linguistics nowadays he  just cannot understand it and he  misrepresents it all the time you know  same kind of stuff some people are just  like you can't get through to them and  there are institutional reasons for it  as well I mean it's literally sometimes  it's literally like going to um you know  a a Catholic church and trying to  convince the priest that Luther was  right or something like that, you know?  It's like even if he were persuaded, he  can't just change his opinion on it, you  know? So, that's how it is. So, it's  basically nothing but frustration and  annoyance. Um, and I don't recommend it.  implying Luther was right. I wasn't. I  was just using an example. You could say  the same. Go to a Lutheran church and  try to conver convince them that Luther  was wrong. Same concept. What I'm trying  to say is it's not just a person who has  opinions. It's someone whose career is  literally based on particular opinions  and they're not even if they have direct  rebuttal of what they're talking about.  They are not going to change for them.  The entire if I try and convince a  syntactician or something that  generative syntax is fake and gay, which  is basically something that every  linguist believes outside of the field  of syntax, even generative phenologists  basically believe that. You know what I  mean? If I try and convince a generative  syntactician that even if they could  hypothetically be persuaded, they're not  going to be persuaded. You know what I  mean? Because their career like  everything they do, every article  they've written is based on this  particular viewpoint of or really formal  language for talking about  language. Modern Lutheran disavow  Luther. Yeah. Well, modern Lutheran  basically disavow God.  So, what do you do for money now that  you're not in a PhD pro? What are you  talk? I'm in a PhD program. Like, I  don't know how many times.  Whatever. Besides, I I get money from  other places. It's like I I do do other  jobs that are not known on  YouTube. I do get some I mean I get  basically grocery money from like my  internet presence. Actually, I might be  getting close to rent money now. But um  I wouldn't call it I mean if I made if  let's say my channel continues to  expand. Let's say in a couple months I  have a 100,000 subscribers and I have um  you know I I have you know twice the  view count. Twice the subscribers try  twice the number of daily views or  something like that. If I made that if I  got that amount of viewership I might be  able to do YouTube full-time possibly.  Uh depend it depends on how exactly the  like if I made twice the amount of money  on YouTube. Um, I I would bas it would  be the equivalent of like a very low  earning like wage cut job, but I might  actually like to do that because it  involves more free time and I have a lot  of room for expansion. So, if I made  more money on YouTube, I might consider  just doing it full-time and nothing  else.  Londuk does it with less than that.  Who's the cuck now? Yeah, well, Lunduk  pushes his Patreon super hard. I did  mention my Patreon in that video that  people got extremely ass pain about, but  I got uh a whole lot more subscribers on  it because of that. It don't regret it.  I think uh I'm at like $600 a month on  Patreon. That's pretty nice. That's  easily gross. I mean, that's nearly rent  money, you know. So, that's really nice.  But yeah, he makes I don't know how much  Brian Lond makes on Patreon, but he  makes a lot. If he can do it, I should  be able to do it, you  Um, but yeah, I mean, my problem is it's  hard for me to constantly be in every  video, oh, go give me money. You know  what I mean? Like, I feel bad about  that. I'm not feel wrong. I think I  might I think I might make a compromise  and at the end of videos just have an  inc screen that always has I mean I  already do put links to like donate. Um  but I might have an end screen with more  stuff or maybe an end narration or  something like that. I don't  know. Let's  see. Actually, I'm making more than 700  now. Okay, that's good.  Great. Um, anyway, Brian, yeah, Brian  makes over 2,000. So, if I had 2,000 a  month, I would contemplate doing it  full-time. Anyway, enough talking about  money. See, I already feel like a shill.  This is why it's so hard for me to to  beg for money. I feel bad about  it.  Um, okay.  your opinions on Espiranto as a  linguist. The same time I answered that  question in literally every other  stream. That is, it's useless and  totally pointless and it's not even a  well-designed  language. How come so many of your  subscribers are Orthodox Christians? I I  don't know. Maybe they're just based in  Redbuild and this is a based in Redbuild  channel.  So, you pick the wrong the wrong  profession as a YouTuber. If you can't  chill, you're not a YouTuber. I guess  not. I guess I don't do it very  well. Have you studied Hebrew at all?  Guys, Hebrew is my native language.  Luke, it's not begging. What you offer  people is free. If they find it useful  and they can afford it, they can give  you some money for incentive to conf  continue. That's all. Yeah, but still  constantly asking for money is cringe,  It doesn't even like I mean yeah sure I  I I want money. I want lots of money.  Duh. But um you know it's  it's it's like the kind of thing where  like you have to constantly it you you  feel weird for obvious guys. Obviously  my native language is not Hebrew. That's  a joke. Anyway, as you can tell by the  fact that I'm I can't even chill myself.  Um but yeah, like I just feel bad about  it, you know?  Just chill. G hates you already. I'm not  interested in what G thinks. I'm  interested in what I  think. And there's a difference between  G hating me and G hating me out of  jealousy. It's a very big difference.  Do you use dragon drop and drop with  ranger or do you use another thing to  solve rangers's lack of drag and drop?  Is that a  joke? Why would I use drag and drop? Are  you talking about clicking on something  with a mouse and moving it? Why would  you use a mouse for that? You don't need  you don't need that.  in one of your videos you said that you  that you are talking about Linux and  computer IRL unless  someone I think he's saying that you  don't talk about Linux and computers in  real life unless someone else is uh no  one went off the  screen. Unless someone else is putting  the topic on the table, doesn't it feel  weird considering your content? No, it  doesn't feel weird because Linux and  computers are not like normal topics of  discussion for normal  people. So, when I'm talking to a normal  person, I'm not going to talk about  Linux in front of  them. You have to understand like the  people my friends are basically normies.  You know, the people I know at church  are norm basically normies. They're  boomers. There are a lot of boomers.  Okay. So, yeah. I mean, I don't feel  weird about  um not talking about Linux because it's  like not even I mean, I've had  occasional conversations with L like  I've talked to Linux, for example, with  my dad who is a computer programmer. Um  not as a kid, mind you. I didn't I never  talked about my dad about his work until  basically after I started my YouTube  channel. But  um yeah, know how many times have you  actually like am I supposed to like  bring up Linux with random people? It's  just not a not a thing. Not a thing  people talk about, I  guess. If you're going to teach yourself  linguistics, what resources would you  use? I don't know. Well, I never used  resources in the first place. I think  the first thing you need to learn if you  actually want to learn linguistics,  which is what most linguists  categorically don't do, is actually  learn a language that's different from  your native language. In my example, it  was  Latin. Um, it could be something else I  recommend. Latin I think obviously I did  a video recommending people to learn it  but I Latin I think is at the ideal  difference from English to make it um  relatively easy to learn but also shows  you has grammatical concepts that don't  exist in English. So it's instructive.  So I I highly recommend English for  pretty much or Latin for pretty much any  European  actually. But um as for learning things  like the IPA, I don't know.  Like I don't know. I just learned them.  I I don't know what to tell you. If  you're asking for a book, I can't give  you a book though because I'm very much  anti-books. Book. You don't really learn  things from books like text textbooks,  you know. And the only reason you should  be learning a using a book to learn  something is if it's something like for  example those Chinese books I showed you  a bit ago where they like specifically  give you exercises and you know provide  a format for you using it. Um but in  terms of like learning information it's  not very useful.  Is Espiranto good for getting into  linguistics language learning? Um, no.  Because es Espiranto again, first off,  it's not like a real language at all.  Okay, Espiranto is just like a magical  construct of of someone's head. Okay. Um  and in that respect it's utterly use  like you know if you learn something  like Spanish or Italian or like  literally any any language even like a  tribal language spoken in the  Amazon even if like your effort used  there is like non- theoretical there is  something you can actually get out of  that if you learn Spanish you could read  something in Spanish espironto is  pointless it is literally pointless to  learn espiranto and the the traits that  espiranto has as a designed language are  unlike like real world languages. It'll  give you false ideas of what is typical,  what is common in languages. Like for  example, you know, it's it's it's the  it's a weird morph, you know, it has  nominative and accusative case for no  particular reason otherwise otherwise  than, you know, the guy who made the  language wanted him to have it, you  know. And of course the the way that  nominative it's not like nominative and  accusative in Latin where case is a  useful and instructive thing that  provides you know something genuinely  different from the English experience.  Espiranto has all these arbitrary things  that just mean nothing. They're they're  just it's hard for me to communicate how  absolutely worthless all constructed  languages are. But especially I mean the  ones people meme about is a Espiranto  and b Lodgeban which is probably even  stupider. Um it's a logical language.  Okay. How is it a logical language? What  does that even mean? Please explain to  me what that means. What it means is I  sat down and invented a language which  has no correspondence to how human  language actually works. That's what  lodgeban means. Okay. It's by definition  the most irrational language because it  has had no real exposure to actual  usage.  Virgin LL Zamarhof versus Chad J or  Tolken. Yeah, if you want to if you want  to learn a fake language, learn one of  Tolken's languages. I'm not I'm not  actually not kidding. Well, don't do  that. Learn a real language.  Hypothetically, if you were going to  learn one, learn one of Tolken's  languages because the interesting thing  about Tolken's languages is that they  try to reflect real world languages in,  you know, their prisotic or funological  categories or their the design of their  their verbal system or something like  that. I mean, Tolken Tolken, honestly, I  feel like his languages are something  different. They're they're less  constructed languages and more like fan  derivatives of real world languages. you  know, you know, Elfish is basically  Finnish or something like that with with  some um but of course I'd rather you  learn Finnish than Elfish or something  like that.  But what do you think of the modern  usage of the infinitive in the romance  languages? What am I supposed to say  about that?  It's used as an infinitive. I I don't  know. Espiranto is dumb, pointless, but  kind of fun to some extent. Okay, any  other language could be much funner than  that. That's the point. The point is  people will say, "Oh, I learned  Espiranto and I learned so much." Okay,  you would have learned a lot more if you  had learned Sanskrit, if you had learned  Greek or Latin or something like that.  What are your thoughts on  nouns? It's not used as an infinitive.  It depends on what you mean by infin. I  mean, infinitive just means a non-finite  verb. So, that could mean a lot of  things. I mean, infinitive is basically  taological. just a verb that doesn't  have personal inflection in the case of  an Indo-Uropean language. That's what  that  means. I mean, if you if you want to get  com if you want to complain about how  linguistics terms are used, complain  about the fact that in Spanish they call  a participle a gerand, you know, the  thing like the word like Orlando, that's  called a jer a gerand in Spanish, even  though that is literally not what it is.  It's called a gerand  because because it used to be a garand  in Latin, but now it is 100% a  participle. It has if you use it as a  gerand, it'll sound totally  stupid. You know, you can't say meusao.  That doesn't make any sense. or well you  could probably like contort that into  making some sense  but meusta nado that doesn't make sense  you know doesn't really mean what it you  know but in Latin of course in Latin you  couldn't say that either because it  couldn't be nominative but it could be  like um you know ablative or any other  case just had to be some kind of oblique  case if you know Italian is there an  equivalent in English of the past tense  Romoto. No, there  isn't. I mean, unless you want to say if  you want to say it with some I mean,  there's no inflection difference, but  you can't really say that. Um, I mean,  well, there are some di I mean, it's  debated actually. I suppose I should say  there are some dialects of English which  sound incredibly stupid to me, but um  there are some dialects where have is  used like it's used in Italian to mean a  relatively recent event. So, I've eaten.  So in American English, if you say  something like, "I've eaten," that  usually means, "I ate and I'm still  full." The have sort of implies it still  has relevance now, right? So in Italian,  for those guys who don't know, or other  romance languages as well, French, I  believe, works like the works like this.  If you say, "I've eaten," that just  means I ate at in the past. And the the  inflected verb that meant used to meant  I ate now means I ate way back in the  past or something like that. And the  same thing is in Italian. So yeah,  there's no real equivalent. But in some  English dialects where I have eaten is  now has now changed to mean I ate at a  recent point in time. Um for people who  use the words like that, just saying I  ate means like the remote past in  Italian. When did you start with Linux?  Uh, by the way, I've been here since  800. I'm happy to see you grow. I guess  that's been a while now. Um, yeah, that  has been a while. That is probably in my  first couple of months. Um, I started  using Linux in  2016. Uh, any tech channels you  recommend? Um, there are channels  similar in format to me. They're less  active nowadays. Uh, but Got Bledu uh  does stuff similar to he reviews a bunch  of programs. Um, Chris Aapenti does sort  of similar stuff. Uh, Gobble Bledu does  way less videos nowadays. And Chris  Aapenti usually doesn't like really  niche stuff now. He does like what Chris  does is a lot of um like he has a bunch  of microcomputers in his home and he'll  say, "Okay, here's how I set this up."  You know? Um, so I don't think either of  them get as many views as uh back in the  day or something, but they still make  videos relatively um every once in a  while, you know, maybe once a week,  maybe once a  month. But I mean, the thing is the sh  they have really good channels, but you  have to like scroll back in time to see  some of that stuff, which you know,  YouTube is not going to recommend you  that kind of stuff.  Much love for Chris Okapenti. Well, you  spelled his first name wrong, but you  spelled his last name  right. So, it's probably not something  he gets that often because it's Chris  with a K, as he will remind  you. But maybe maybe you're just  meing. Do you know any Albanian? No, I  don't.  How could you learn Linux that fast by  just using it? I don't know. Um, that  was also the period where I had no  internet at home, so I just learned a  whole lot of stuff because I'd have to  figure it out on my  own. For Chris Aapenti's channel, type  in Chris films by Chris in YouTube. And  when I say Chris, it's K Chris. K R I S  I think I think there's only one  S. Luke, is there any merit to having a  global language? Well, there are bad  merits to it, but  um twoour stream enough for me. See you.  Oh yeah, it's been two hours. Yeah, I  guess I've been on here a long time and  it's because I started in the morning.  Let me double check. There might have  been some  uh there may have been a  couple donations which I could have  missed so I want to be  sure. What is your view on Baltic  languages or even Basque as a  protoindo-uropean language? Okay. Well,  Baltic languages are Indo-Uropean  languages. I don't really know what you  mean by by being a protoindo-uropean  language. Baltic languages are 100%  Indo-European. They're nearly the same  as Slavic languages which are very  indo-uropean and Basque is not  Indo-Uropean.  If you're trying to say Basque is  pre-Indo-European as in it existed in  Europe before Indo-Uropeans, that's  nearly certainly true. But it is  definitely also not related to in  any recognizable way to Indo-Uropean  languages. And anyone who says that  Basque is related to any other language  just should be ignored because there  just have been so many people who have  made bad arguments for why it's related  to everything from I don't know Elfish  to Chinese literally like people will  say Basque is related to Chinese and um  and it's theor it's theoretically  possible that there is a linguistic  relationship that is that distant in  time and space but the rate at which  languages change has totally obs  obscured any way that we can any method  we know now of being able to assess the  similarity of  those. I am Lithuanian. You're wrong.  Baltic isn't Slavic. Okay. I didn't say  that Baltic was Slavic. I said Baltic  and Slavic are basically the same thing.  They're nearly always classified as the  same subf family. I mean, but if you're  Baltic and you're saying, "Oh, Baltic  languages aren't Slavic." the same thing  as someone who's Portuguese getting  upset for you saying that Spanish is  nearly the same as Portuguese. Of  course, Baltic languages are much more  different from Slavic languages than  Spanish and Portuguese are different.  But um for anyone who is not Baltic or  Slavic, you will look at a lang a  language like that, its words, its  morphology, phenology and say, "Oh,  Baltic and Slavic are obviously  extremely closely  related." That's why they call it, you  know, the Baltoslavic language family.  Yeah, if you want to make someone who  speaks Portuguese mad, just tell them  that Portuguese and Spanish are  basically the same. Of course, in  Portuguese and Spanish, they basically  are the same language. If you just like  speak Spanish and hold your nose, that's  what Portuguese sounds  like. It literally is basically the same  language. And you pronounce T's like  CH. If English was the only living  Indo-European language, would you be  able to tell that it was related to  Sanskrit and Hittite and other  Indo-European languages? That's a good  question. I think you would. Uh, I think  you defin Well, I think you definitely  would. Um, I think in the core  vocabulary, well, let me think about  this. Let me think about this for a  second. I think that you would probably  well you would definitely be able to  establish a a remote relationship where  you know basic words even like you know  mother father that kind of stuff they  look different in English and Sanskrit  but some of the similarities I mean  mother and father sometimes look similar  in unrelated languages but other basic  words like that uh you would probably be  able to see some similarities but the  real the real the real I guess proof  would be not necessarily words that look  similar, but sound  correspondences. So  like, you know, words that begin in  Sanskrit with a t will nearly always  begin in English with a th you know, a  th sound. So that could be the word for  um you know basically any English word  you know the dyic pronoun or uh thou or  three or you know thin or basically any  English word that starts with th will  start with t in Sanskrit and that's not  just for th and t that's for basically  every language in the core vocabulary.  So you would nearly certainly be able to  establish a relationship between those.  Um because although the sounds are  different, they correspond to each  other, you know, or trying to think of  another example. I mean, you can just  reverse Grim's law and you can get  basically what it looks like. So yeah, I  think I think people would nearly  certainly be able to establish that  English and Sanskrit are closely  related. Uh Hittite as well. Hitittite I  think um is sort of for the same  reasons. Uh Hittite grammar is very  different. Obviously if you know  anything about Hittite, Hittite is a  weird language because usually in  Indo-Uropean languages if you look at  Latin, Greek, Sanskrit, you would have  the idea that Indo-Uropean was a highly  morphologically complex language similar  to Sanskrit and as time went on it  became simplified. Um but Hittite which  is clearly the oldest or you know the  first language to split off from the  Indo-Uropean you know bund however you  want to put it um it clearly is there  are some things that it just doesn't  have. It doesn't have for example a  female gender. It doesn't have all the  verb conjugations that Indo-Uropean has.  Um it doesn't have I don't think it has  a dual. Yeah it doesn't have a duel. So  it it only has singular and plural.  So there are a bunch of things. But  anyway, regardless of this, you would  probably still be able to tell that  English and Hitittite are  related.  Um, there are some words in Latvian that  are still almost the same as Sanskrit,  like medus honey. Okay. Well, that's  true in any other Indo-Uropean  language. You had me at it doesn't have  female gender. Yeah. Well, yeah. So for  those you know originally in  pre-protoindo-uropean the the gender  system quote unquote gender system um  was really a distinction between animate  things and inanimate things. So  everything and it's actually interesting  how this how much we know about this but  actually how it works. So animate  objects could uh you know there were  some verbs that couldn't be used with  inanimate objects. It was just  un-grammatical right and you had this  distinction between animate objects and  inanimate objects and they looked a  little different. and they had different  endings. Now, Hittite splits off and it  preserves that sort of older format of  it and it actually has uh it was also  probably an argative absolutive  language, the original  pre-indo-uropean. Um anyway, after  Hitittite split off the female gender  forms and what that usually is is a a an  ending that appeared on some animate  nouns to mark them for being feminine.  And uh it wasn't just like female human  things. It was also certain types of  abstract nouns. So a lot of abstract  nouns get this ending. A lot of  collective nouns get this ending. So of  course you have females being marked  with this noun. But also like the names  for territory, the names for lands, you  know. Um basically every place name is  feminine for example. Every river is  masculine for example. Um so later  Indo-Uropean languages basically all  Indo-Uropean languages besides Hittite  have a three-way gender distinction  between ne what are called neuters which  used to be inanimate in Hittite or  Indohitite  um and then what we now call ma  masculine and feminine which are really  the old animate gender and some of those  words have feminine endings on them.  So, so now in Indo-Uropean we usually  call them masculine, feminine and  neuter.  Why does American English tend to treat  every occurrence of th as if it were  archaic thorn and not as if not say it  as the Brits say like  tames because I mean the fact of the  matter is the the American English is  nearly invariably more conservative than  British. Uh it's not like Americans saw  that and they're like oh it's pronounced  thames and it's always been pronounced  tames. No, it's it's that the  pronunciation of Tims or whatever it is  um just arose in London as basically a m  misprononunciation that's now common. Um  and a lot of words have lost uh lost  their th pronunciation. Now there are  some exceptions. I think Thomas is an  example. Of course, no American says  thus, but there are some words that are  borrowed that are spelled with the th  never had it. But you know the river  name you know the American pronunciation  of fame ths that is a more conservative  pronunciation and that's true. I mean  it's the same thing with like why do  British people not or so one of the  funniest things is um when uh British  people of course have this notion that  well because English comes from Britain  it must be British English must be more  conservative right so for all this time  we've not been pronouncing Rs at the end  of words and then one day Americans just  had this crazy idea to just read out the  Rs those crazy Americans no it's really  the American practice of pronouncing Rs  universal in at some point in Britain.  Gradually some communities began to lose  it in Britain. But um the American I  mean there's a general tendency mind you  you should keep in mind that there's a  tendency for like more rural  uh in in more rural populations  languages changes languages change  slower and in the more dense Britain  there was a lot more linguistic change  like when someone stopped pronouncing  the th it's a change that sort of spread  more quickly. Um but in general or other  things so for example like um saying  bath instead of bath that's another it's  something that happened very recently in  British pronunciation  um the American Americans as pronouncing  it like bath that is a conservative  uh again American English tends to be  always the more conservative  variety I'm trying to think of an except  there are a couple I mean the cot caught  merger would be an American innovation.  But then again, some British dialects  have that as well. Um, trying to think  of another American. There aren't very  many aspects in which American English  is like less conservative than British  English  though. What examples of words ending in  R are you thinking? I can't think of it  like saying you know not pronouncing the  R in far uh father or farther frankly  saying father instead of  farther. So farther ob obviously these  rs were pronounced originally right but  over time and this is particularly  because in Germanic languages the r  sounds are always weird sounds and  sounds that are hard for children to  acquire. So, I mean, that's why like in  Swedish or something, you never  pronounce I mean, it's not technically  Rs at the end of words. It's Rs in koda  positions, meaning at the end of  syllables. Okay. Um, but most Germanic  languages tend to lose those over time.  They still exist in American English.  They're gone in a lot of British  varieties. I mean, at least southern  British varieties. They're gone in  Swedish and a lot of German varieties,  but um yeah, the the Rs are are  real. Is there a language that developed  grammatical gender? Yeah, every language  that has grammatical gender developed  grammatical gender.  The Virgin R versus the Chad R as a as a  syllabus nucle.  Nucleus. Yeah, that's  right. The word bird doesn't even have a  vowel. Only a cuck pronounces a vowel  there. It's an  R. What's the worst sounding language,  Luke? Maybe British English. I don't  know. Since we're talking about  it, maybe estuary, the estuary  dialect, which is basically just English  pronounced with any without any  consonants. It's basically like this is  this is how if you're from, you know,  anywhere around there, you probably talk  something like  this. That's how people sound.  One of my f favorite ones. Contemplate  the word  hotter, which you if you're from the  estuary, you pronounce it  a literally no consonants in that sound.  It's hotter. There are three  consonants.  Anyway, are languages without a  grammatical gender more or less  sexist? I assume that's a joke comment.  I mean, grammatical gender, first off,  doesn't have anything to do with real  sex or  gender, but um if they did, it wouldn't  matter. I mean,  I mean, Chinese doesn't have grammatical  gender. Is it a feminist language?  Persian Persian doesn't have grammatical  English doesn't have grammatical gender.  Is it a feminist? Well, arguably it is,  but is it more feminist than French,  which does have grammatical  gender, but yeah, I mean, there are  plenty people just get this is another  example of word thinking. It happens in  Indo-Uropean languages. I mean, the word  gender, keep in mind, is literally just  a word that means category and it had no  such association with like males and  females. Originally, it was just a  grammatical category and people  analyzing Greek grammar realized, okay,  there are three different types of  nouns, okay? Three different genders.  Now, as a historical accident, they  called one masculine because men fell  into that. uh one feminine because women  fell into that and one neuter. Neuter in  Latin literally just means neither.  Okay. Now we could have named them as I  said earlier for example rivers in  Indo-Uropean are masculine. We could  have called one the river gender. We  could have called the other one the uh  place name gender. That's what we now  call feminine or neuter for neither  river names or or place names. Okay. We  could have called them that. And the  word gender in English as we use it now  would have meant something. I mean it  would have had a totally different  connotation. So yeah, it doesn't really  matter. And of course there are many  languages that have gender like Hittite  as I mentioned has grammatical gender  that doesn't differentiate the two human  genders. So there is animate and  inanimate. That's their gender system.  So males and females are  animate and everything that is inanimate  is  inanimate. That's actually a little  different. I mean in Hitite it's not  quite how simple it is but  if you never went to uni, would you  still have this amazing knowledge on  linguistics? Yeah, because I didn't  learn anything in university. The things  that I was taught in graduate school are  utterly unrelated to  language. Linguists now linguists  nowadays do not know anything about  language. What a linguist is is someone  who operates in this magical platonic  chskian uh formal uh playground and make  ad hoc arguments about things that don't  matter. That's what a linguist does  nowadays. You won't learn anything if  you go to graduate stu graduate school  in linguistics unless you happen across  someone else who actually has learned  something and you you learn about it  from them. But yeah, you're not going to  you don't learn stuff like that.  Are languages with case systems more  casual? I don't really  know how to assess  that. I don't quite know.  Let me set check super chats. I don't  think anyone's given us super chat in a  while. Yeah, I don't think  so. Check something.  Is programming language grammar even  remotely interesting to look at lexers  and such? No, it has no it has nothing  to do with human language grammar if  that's what you're  asking. Who is the chsky of the Linux  world? I don't know. Brian  Lunduk. How do you feel about academia  for hard sciences? Not really that much  different. I mean, there's a cope that  the hard sciences are going to be  totally unaffected by all the terrible  things that happen in colleges. And that  isn't true. And it gets worse every  year. Why does Lunduke have comments  disabled? I didn't know he still had  comments disabled. That's been a  while. Why do you do all your videos Why  do all of your videos are shot in the  wild? Where else would I record? Am I  supposed to record here? This is a lame  place to record videos.  What's Chomsky known for anyway? Nothing  important. Nothing important. I mean, I  could explain like what how Chsky is  supposed to have influenced the  linguistics field, but it it's like  literally something that doesn't matter,  you know? It's um and it's also  something that although it has had I  mean, frankly, if well, let's let's do a  Luke Smith thing. Let's ignore the  ideology behind it. Let's ignore what  he's actually saying. The real reason  that Chomsky is famous is  twofold. Chomsky promoted a form of  linguistics that could get funding from  the state that could get defense  department funding and that caused a lot  of linguistics departments to be created  as independent departments. That's the  primary reason that he is memor I mean  not because of any of his ideas but  that's the real reason. Okay. Chomsky's  particular he had a particular form of  linguistics that the defense department  wanted to support. So they did because  they thought they could get something  out of it. Luckily for us it's totally  useless. So it doesn't matter. But  either way the institutional reason why  why chsky is celebrated is because  basically he invented we'll just say he  invented linguistics departments  inventing existing as separate entities.  Okay. The other reason is I mean the  other obvious reason is he just had  mutually reinforcing popularity with his  uh you know leftist activism and people  who wanted to boost the guy in politics  would boost him in linguistics to make  him sound smarter and vice versa.  Although usually it's people trying to  boost him in linguist or people talking  about how great a linguist he is to  boost him in the political domain.  But as for like what his specific views  are, they're they're I mean I could  autistically explain them, but honestly,  they're not a they're not particularly  novel compared to views that were held  beforehand. And they were really just  more of a reaction to  um behaviorist psychology as they it was  practiced in linguistics or really  psychology before he came to the field.  Um, it's very difficult to pin him down  on. I mean, it's very hard to pull pin  the entire generative program as being  for or against anything in particular,  like some particular claim about it, but  it's really just a a kind of analyzing.  It's a formal playground for analyzing  language that Chsky helped to invent.  And there are some assumptions that come  with it, but those assump ass  assumptions have often changed  considerably from year to year. So  honestly, if you're a lay person,  there's just no, you don't need to.  That's what you need to know about it.  It's not really important. It will never  matter for  anyone. Great. By your heristic, now  we'll have to have to read all this  Chsky stuff. Well, I didn't call him  racist or  anything. Could you make a tutorial on  how to publish packages to the AUR? I  don't know. I've never done it. I do  have packages in the AUR. Mut Wizard is  in the AUR. ST is in the AUR, but I've  never done it myself. Someone else, some  other people did it for me in both of  those cases.  right. Okay.  Um, I might draw it to a close. We just  hit three hours or so. So, if anyone has  any last minute uh hot takes you want to  give via super chats, be sure to do that  now or any other kind of donation that  pops up. Actually, let me double check.  I might have gotten a Zeld donation um  during the stream. So, I'm going to  check my  email, but uh  yeah. So, any other questions feel free  to  ask. I will  check. Can we listen to the free  software song before the stream ends?  That's an option. That's an option.  Which version should we do  though? Three  software. I would say which one of these  terrible versions, but they're all just  awful. Maybe we'll do the classic one of  Richard Stallman just beating on a desk  because that's just like so absurd and  him speaking in his terrible Spanish.  right.  So,  um, all right. Sorry, I was looking at  something else. I'll read the final  donations or comments. Let's see if  there are any  last. Do you think that since the left  has falsely used racism and Nazism that  they've effectively become cliches and  we can't use them in normal speech?  Well, why would you those words are  entirely cliches? Why would you want to  use the word racism in in normal  speech? There's non no there's non no  non cliche about that. There's no non  cliche about that word, you know. Um  anyway, I think we got some super  chats. 10 R dollars, whatever those are.  Whatever R dollars, I don't even know.  Rubies. Oh, I think they're reals or  something like that from Samba and wire  stress Portuguese  or Okay.  Well, I I'm not going to say I agree or  not, but  um $10 from Charlie Hansen. How do you  avoid existential  dread? Just doing stuff with my life. I  don't know. Existentialism is not  something that you have to worry about  when you're do getting actually doing  something. I don't know. Just go  outside. I I'll give you my same adv  advice I give to people who want to stop  watching porn. Just go outside and do  something instead of sitting there at a  computer and wondering, "Oh geez, I'm  just sitting here like passively  consuming infotainment. Why am I having  a miserable  life?" Sort of self-explanatory.  Um,  okay. Do a Windows reaction video. That  will surely get many views. It's  sometimes it's not always about views. I  think I will do a video about why I  stopped using Windows and use  Linux.  So, so we'll see.  Um, do a collab with Linux. Linus text  tech tips. That's a good meme.  Well, as I said, I might be doing a  collab with um Chris  Hakapenti. Maybe next  week. I think maybe Dro Tube was in the  chat. We maybe we'll do a collab  sometime. I think I tried to look for  his email address. I can find it at some  point. But if he wants to do a collab  with me, he can email me and we can do  something. My email is uh public.  So, what's your thoughts about what are  your thoughts about Gopher? I have no  thoughts about it.  Uh, all right. So, I guess that's about  it. Um, oh, do I have the free software  song now? Let me see.  Free free software song.  Okay. Yeah, we'll watch  that. D Tube says we can't be on on  camera at the same time. People will get  confused. Yeah, maybe. Well, that's why  I wear the sunglasses so people know  which one I am.  Um, another most common question. Why do  you wear sunglasses all the  time? It's a boomer thing. You wouldn't  understand. Um, all right, kids. Roth.  Okay. Why does the chat never appear on  this? I hate OBS. OBS is seriously such  a pain. Um, all right. We'll just watch  it. We'll just watch it, kids.

Um, there is no good way to perform that  song because it's just terrible because  they want to do it what in some weird  beat time or whatever it is. I don't  know anything about music, but um,  where's the other free software song?  Okay. Yeah, this one. We're not going to  watch the whole one of this, but I just  want to turn it on cuz it's like so  cringe. The absolute state of the  FSF. Is it too loud? People are going to  probably  song is 78. Yeah.  Oh  god. I'm going to try and fix it while  we cringe to  this. Tech condu tech conductor right  open  there. I skip to the good  part and then they're going to start  singing. It sounds like a normal music  track was just like  truncated, you know.  Where's the thing?  Look at all the soy on stage. They  actually aren't that very soy looking. I  mean, some of them are. That guy. The  drummer on the left is a littleish.  I think they're just artists. I think  that's what it is. I think that's how  most I've met a couple guys. I think  they're  just open source is for soy boys soy dad  free software that's for  suckless is for chads  actually I've never actually met a  person  how can you not see Linux as a communist  cult I'm I'm pretty convinced  I feel when there's free software GF.  Well, yeah, there's one GF and a bunch  of men there. So, there aren't very many  to go  around. That guy who never left his  university base. Yeah, that's right.  people are gradually leave leaving  leaving the live stream. I mean, I did  say where I was going to close it down,  but I like to think it's because of the  song. What a terrible song. Like, like  try like, you know, bobbing your head to  this beat or something. It doesn't even  work. Imagine just like writing a song  with some meme tier beat structure just  to be  autistic. I can't even  imagine. Skipping forward a little  bit. I want more of your  It's going to be more cringe now singing  Spanish all over the beats for  copyrighted this one.  I'm going to have to install Windows  kids. I'm going to stop doing the Linux  videos. This is too  much. Now they're trying to clap.  Everyone's going to try and clap to this  dude. It doesn't work.  Now they're screwing up the  instrumentalists who are like, "Oh,  great." Imagine all the mental effort it  takes to like drum to  this. I love software patents. Yeah, I  know. There's a fine line between  activism and terrorism.  All right, that's about enough. Going to  draw this closer. That's about it for  the the live stream. See how it goes.  Oh no, wait. We have to watch this  thing. Maybe I should talk to the  volume.  Where is it called?  KMS ever more hackers ever more. Join us  now and share this offer. You'll be free  hackers. You'll be free. Join us now and  share this offer.  I'm going to have to wash my palette  with a boomer video after this. One last  boomer. All right, that'll be about  Yuriel killed himself to this song.  All right, that's about it. So, I'm  closing the stream out. Thanks everyone  for coming. I know this is a weird hour  for me to do it, but maybe some people  who couldn't drop by before got to drop  by. So, all right. See you guys next  time. Heat. Heat.
