Yeah. Heat. Heat.
Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Go.
So, yep, that's the end. I didn't actually want to edit it out. For those of you who have actually been on my channel for, I suppose, a couple years, that was one of my first videos actually. That's a song remixed from the Deus Ex sequel. That is the good Deus Ex sequel, I should say. Now, where exactly? Hold on. I'm just changing some settings here. Yeah, we'll do this. I think that'll work. Hello. Can you hear me? Are you going to complain about the audio this time? I should have done a troll. I should have just started the livestream without having any audio whatsoever and then just pretend that everything wasn't working. Okay, you can't actually see what I'm clicking on because you can't see those windows. Anyway, I don't think I can get this to change. Oh, wait. No, silly me. It's that one. Okay. All right. What's going on, everyone? So, I wanted to do this stream just because I'm going to be going in the woods possibly within the next week or so. For I think a week or so. Maybe I'll actually get rid of this visualizer. So, let me check the chat. Let me see if anyone said anything interesting. You never know. As usual, if you want me to actually read your comment, give a super comment at the link above you. Above. Yeah, over there. Don't text me. It's probably one of you guys.
So, what's going on everyone? So, if you don't know, I've been putting out less videos recently. I've been very busy. I think I said in the last stream, which I didn't put up, I've been working a boomer wage-cuck job. That is, I wanted to learn some carpentry and I figured, well, I could just jump into the action and start making things myself, but that's not going to work out. It ends up a friend of mine was looking for some help. So, I've been working for him for the past couple of weeks, I guess. So anyway, yeah, Mike is acting up. Good. Anyway, there. Are you happy now? See, this is why you don't use OBS. Anyway, so what did I miss? I feel like there was something. Let's see. So, let me check the chat for anything interesting. I don't think so. This was a surprise stream. I only decided to do it like 30 minutes ago. So, right.
Anyway, so as I said, I'm going in the woods. Not all the way in the woods, but I'm going on vacation for the next week. I know I've sort of been on vacation from YouTube for a couple weeks now, but I'll be having one more, which I'll actually probably have time to record videos if I feel like doing it. But I need to—I sort of want to get to actually writing my dissertation, which I'm supposed to have done. Well, I mean, I guess I'm not behind, but I need to do it. Now, of course, my PhD is in linguistics, but eventually it's going to be, I guess, something a little more philosophy of science kind of stuff. So, I'll probably be doing videos on that kind of stuff. Anyway, either way, I'm going to be doing more episodes of the podcast pretty soon. Anyway, so $2 from who? Oh, someone I saw it pop up. I didn't see who it was. Oh, yeah. $2 from Bastiat. Happy Valentine's Day. Happy—oh, that's right. It is Valentine's Day. I wasn't actually keeping track of that. Nice try, Captain Carine. It's not going to work. It's not going to work. All right.
And so anyway, I've been doing some stuff recently. I had some books. I, you know, I've been going through some old—now that I have a bunch of time, free time, I've been buying all these books I've meant to buy and read them. Here's an old classic, Devani Paravves—wait. Anyway, the whole point of the book is a Sanskrit primer, which evidently I need to read because I forgot the title of it, but it means something like students reader. I highly recommend it. I've had friends who use it before, but I had been intending to actually learn Sanskrit. Is Structure of Scientific Revolutions by [unclear: h__h] redpilled? Well, I don't know if it's—I wouldn't call it redpilled. I think it's sort of basic level. I mean, it's not that I disagree with it, but it's nothing too surprising nowadays. Let's see if anyone else asked any interesting questions. Thought on St. Augustine? No, not really. I've never really read anything by St. Augustine. I've read some of Aquinas's Summa Theologica. But which I think is an interesting book. I think the people who—everyone should read it. Well, I don't know about that. It's like 30,000 volumes, but it's an interesting book. We'll just say that. Let's see who else said something interesting.
Martin said, "Uh, thoughts on Alt Hype and Alt Hype's and Shaun's video on Jean Foswan and TB." Yeah, I did see that. Originally, I wanted to do a video response to it. But those are sort of cringe. I might just eventually do one because I saw Ryan's video, Old Hype's video, and it really wasn't super good. I mean, well, you know, he's descended more into like autistic screeching for an hour or so in his videos, which is, you know, that's fine, but he got some sort of basic stuff wrong. I'll go into it in a video. I meant to record it like right after he put that thing up, but I'll do it later. Let's see. He's doing a PhD rewarding. No, it isn't. Don't do it. Don't even go to school. It's not falling for our mic meme, guys. Yeah. No, I'm not falling. I can see what my mic is doing. I could like listen to it right now if I wanted to. Either way, it doesn't matter. Like, if I'm using—I could be using my webcam for my mic. People would complain, but I don't care at this point. Or I guess I think I have built-in audio to this thing. But all right.
Is Sanskrit hard to learn? I don't really find it that difficult. To be honest. I mean, I've learned Latin and Greek. Sanskrit is sort of in the same ballpark. It's a little more complicated and obviously you know you have to be good at Devanagari, the writing system, but it's not a super difficult language even though it is supposed to be the most Indo-European language; you know, it has all the traditional inflections, declensions, and stuff like that. Have you read Frederick Bastiat, The Law? I recommend it. I do have that book. I think I've read it. You could check my library at lith.xyz/library. Actually, you know what? My website, if you go to my website, click on it up there or wherever it is. I'm not quite sure. I had some downtime. I've been switching VPSs. Okay, it's up. It's up for me, I hope. I don't think my Git server is up. Oh, yeah, that's broken. So, I haven't had much time to do anything tech-related just because I've been working on my boomer carpenter job. As you can see, I still have like sawdust all over me or at least I was sanding today. You know, my first week or so I'd bathe after getting home every day. Now, I just don't care. Just going to get dirty the next day, so it doesn't really matter to me.
Could a Pidgin learn Sanskrit? Well, yeah, a Pidgin could learn Sanskrit. I mean, that's originally who learned them. So, have you learned Old Norse or anything similar? I've studied a little Old Norse. I did take, when I was at UG, I actually took a course on Gothic. And I think I still—I know a good bit of Gothic. I'll say that. But I don't—where's my old book? Highly recommended. I thought I had it in here. Maybe it's not in this room. Anyway, there's a pretty good Gothic book. Shoot, thought I had it. It's by Lamden, though. I forget the exact title. It's probably just Introduction to Gothic. I swear it was back there just like one day ago. Maybe not. Oh, yeah. Here it is. Here it is. Introduction to the Gothic Language. I highly recommend this book. Even if you were like me and took the class arbitrarily because I was like, I'll learn some other Indo-European language. This is a really nice book because at the end, so they have all the lessons and stuff which are actually well constructed, but at the end they have like a historical grammar lesson for each one where like they explain the etymology of each word or each inflection, everything like that. All the origins of different words through Proto-Germanic or whatever. How they change over time. So definitely a highly recommended book. This is one of my favorite—I mean, in terms of ancient languages, this is one of my the best constructed books I've ever seen. But even though I didn't really like Gothic that much. I mean, I didn't really want to learn it. Let's see.
Okay, chat is moving a little too fast. When's the next episode of Notre Rated? Hoping to record a couple next week. So, I'm going to have some time. I know I've said before I have like two or three episodes that are mostly prepared on. I just want to sit down and do them, but I just haven't had the chance since I had my boomer wage-cuck job. And, you know, I've just been doing other stuff. Thoughts on Borges? I like his stuff. I have a compilation of some of his—a little tiny book of—let's see. I don't really need to show you all the books I have in my room, but you know, since I'm doing it, yeah, I don't know where it is. Doesn't matter. But yeah, I like Borges. He's one of my favorite fiction novelists. Oh, I noticed. Oh, look at that. I didn't actually clean up my bed this morning. Jordan Peterson would be so mad. Let's see. What made you want to accept a boomer wage-cuck job? Well, as I said earlier in the stream, I've been meaning to learn carpentry for a while since I'm going to go in the woods. I ideally would like to build my own house or something of the sort or maybe something smaller. So I've been meaning to do some carpentry and a friend of mine, who has a carpentry business, was like, "Hey, we need some help. You want to jump on and basically do the basic work?" And I was like, "Sure." So that's what I've been doing for sort of the past month or so just to do it.
Can you name three straight linguists? Yeah, that's hard. Yeah, linguistics, if you don't know, is a very gay subject. For whatever reason, the number of gay men in linguistics is overwhelming. I don't exactly know why. I'm just not quite sure. Your luke.xyz/donate link is indeed broken, my good sir. Oh my goodness. Okay, I have to do something about that. Oh my. Don't go to donate. Go to support. Then go to lukemith.xyz support. Oh, wait. That doesn't work either. Dang it. Hold on. I just moved to a new VPS. No, wait. Go to donate.html. That's what I haven't configured my Apache server. Okay. I'm glad someone told me that. Thank you. I should give you a super—yeah, I got to add that thing on. Let's do it. I think that's just ImageMagick generated. Actually, no. I should just SSH into my server and fix that all. Okay. SSH. Now on this computer, I have to remind myself how to actually redirect all the HTML files in Apache. HD access. Life is not about upcomies, lads. Yeah. Well, upcomies are fun. That's the whole point of—redirect. Okay. Let's see. Anyone say anything interesting in the meantime? Nope. Doesn't look like it.
How do you focus to write your dissertation? Well, I haven't written my dissertation yet, so I wouldn't know. Where's the roads video? The roads video is now a meme because I haven't done it. And I would hate to actually do the video and then make the meme die. All right, kids. Tech support time. I got to remind myself how to run an Apache server. Rewrite rule. How do you—you have to enable rewrite rules, right? See, this is the thing. I converted—I went over to a new server and I transferred all my files, but there's some Apache settings I forgot about. Rewrite rules. What is the title about? What is the title of this livestream? Are you programmed to invent riddles? I don't even remember. I mean, the thing is when I choose livestream names, since I usually don't do anything organized for livestreams, I usually just pick whatever's on my head. And this one I named like a week or so ago. I think the thumbnail is placenta-related. It has the placenta and it has JC Denton on it if I remember right. Okay. Mod rewrite. That's what I need to enable. Okay. Let's see. Mod rewrite. Maybe not because that's already enabled. Systemctl reload G2. Maybe I shouldn't do my own tech support. JC didn't—I think you mean the Oh, yeah. Yeah. guy. Yeah, those guys are all over the place. Yeah, I actually thought so. I don't remember which of you guys it was obviously, but it was one of you JC Denton posters. One of you Oh, yeah. Yeah. guys. For the longest time you were a subscriber and you posted on my videos. And I just when a bunch of other JC Denton Oh, yeah. Yeah. guys came to my video, my videos, I just assumed they were all the same person. So, this new meme of everyone having the JC Denton avatar. Yeah, I don't really understand, but I mean, I understand where it comes from, but it's cringe. What's the placenta meme? I heard it off of Survive the Jive. So, the placenta meme is of course Var—you know on Var's channel he offers all these like his interpretation of pagan traditions and they're literally all the placenta. Like the world tree is a placenta. Every single, you know, pagan myth is a placenta. In fact, last week he even did a video on Adam and Eve and like the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Guess what that is? It's a placenta. Everything's literally just a placenta. It's not even a joke. Well, I actually don't think it's just Var. I think it's really his wife who's apparently an atheist. I don't know. That's what people say, but she really likes placentas or something. I don't know. So, like in his viewpoint, literally every pagan myth is something about placenta. Okay? And the thing is, it sounds like I'm exaggerating, but if you go to his videos, find one about pagan mythology that doesn't have a placenta in it. Just find one. You couldn't do it. You can't do it. Anyway, rewrite engine on direct direct. Is Karl Popper's criterion for demarcation wrong? What was the most important challenge to it? There's no such—I don't believe in demarcation. Okay, this is actually going to be part of my dissertation. Actually, you know what? No, I haven't done a video on that. I did do—I read a blog post on this a while back and that is I don't believe in the concept of pseudoscience. I don't believe that there should be any demarcation between what is science and what is pseudoscience. In fact, the very concept of that is really recent in origin and it doesn't have—like it used to be back in the day, back 500 years ago, every scientist was also a wild speculator. There was no borderline between the two. Same thing even when I—I just, for example, was talking about Var. For him everything's a placenta. Okay, I think that's ridiculous or whatever, but I don't necessarily have the psychological need to write his entire method of thinking off as being pseudoscientific or something like that. The whole concept of pseudoscience really originates, I suppose, after science has become institutionalized, after you have universities, after it is like a cottage industry. It's like a literal financial billion-dollar industry for people to have different academic fields. And one of the most important things, since if you are an academic, there's very few things that you can actually do that show that what you're doing is legit. Okay? So there's no way of proving to, I don't know, the taxpayers that what you're doing is legit. So what you have to do is sort of make up rationalizations for why alternate viewpoints are just totally not even worthy of consideration. Okay, that's the concept of pseudoscience and I reject it and I, as I said, I wrote a blog post on this a couple months ago but I need to do a video on it and that is, you know, when you look at all the innovation that happens in science it happens from people who have stupid ideas, maybe believe them for stupid reasons, but they follow through on them and that motivates them to actually do good research often so I don't believe in this in the same way you actual academics, the way that they go through making decisions, the way they decide what to believe or what not to believe is fundamentally just as irrational as anyone else. So I don't believe in the whole—what I believe in is an abolishment of pretense for people who are doing science. However you want to think about it, that's what I'm in favor of.
Anyway, Var's wife Var's wife's video on their survivalist home is some of the greatest content on YouTube, though. I think so, too. I like their stuff. I'm not saying anything bad about Var and his wife, but I think that their way of thinking of certain things aren't—I don't know. I don't necessarily agree with them. That's it. And of course, Var and Survive the Jive have gone on this—I don't know—mutual excommunication thing. Actually, Var is more to blame than Survive the Jive just because Var, you know, went through a period of a couple days where he put out like three videos a day about how Survive the Jive sucks. I mean, not exactly saying him, but it was sort of inferred that it was about him. Does Var think his testicles are just two fat fuzzy placentas? He might. He might indeed. I'm not quite sure. All right. As you if you guys are just tuning in, I'm on this computer trying to fix the fact that my donate button up there—up there? Is it up there or there? I don't know. I can't even see myself pointing. I forget which side of the screen I put myself on, but my donate button is not working. So, if you want to donate, if you want your super chat to be read, you have to type that URL with HTML at the end while I try to respond to the comments that are actually here. Actually, let's see. Yeah, he called Survive the Jive a metrosexual. Let's see. WTF Luke placenta is my will and you dare question it. What happened to the form? People are still asking about the form. Well, actually, you know what? Today I thought about just bringing a form back just for the podcast. I might do that and I'll only announce it on the podcast so you don't have the low-quality anime posters on the form. That might be the best thing to do. I've also thought of making an invite-only form and I was thinking you know there are a couple commenters on my channel who I'd like. Maybe I'll invite them first and go from there. So for I have no way of actually contacting the people who comment on my channel. Sucks.
Super chat from Kyoko Lina says Brazil loves you. Thank you. Can you talk about the Arizona SJWs? No, I can't until I'm done with my degree. Websites that use h should be put to death, tbh. I mean, all websites use HTML. Well, nearly all of them. Just most of them, including mine originally, would redirect automatically to just the plain name. Wonder if my audio is still working. I don't know why I even asked. I know what you're going to say. You're going to say it broke.
Will you get a dog eventually? I have no need for a good dog. What do you want, Luke? Are you familiar with the Golden One? Yes, I know who the Golden One is. Look at that super chat read by phone just because I don't have it pulled up here. Viva how $4 says I just love you for Morocco heart. Thanks. Okay. Anyway, does Var have a dog? Yes. Var has a dog. I remember one of Arg's videos was something about like his dog killing cats and like cats are African immigrants, therefore his dog kills African immigrants. That's classic Var. You don't need a dog unless you're in the woods. Yeah, sort of. Or unless you're one of those guys who gets a dog just so like girls will talk to him, which is pretty sad. But people do do it. People do do it.
Didn't. All right, give me a second. I'm gonna fix my donate link up there. I'm actually going to do it, the absolute madman except for weird. Let's see. Stream. Pretty sure all these I have generated from an ImageMagick command. So, this entire setup you see that OBS is looking at, you know, like the chat or the chat and all the links up there, they're all generated by like ImageMagick or something like that. The chat actually is from Streamlabs. I always forget what side it's on. Give me one little second here. URLs. Yeah, that's it. Okay. So, I'm going to say donate.png or no, not PNG. I was working on a PNG file. Donate.html. Okay, let's see. Oops. What do you mean don't have the right font? Okay. Fonts. All right, we'll install that in the background. I got to put in my password. Righty. This chat is more diverse versed than college. It actually is. You might—I don't know if you'd be surprised, but less than a fourth of my viewing audience actually comes from America. Like the number of Pidgins, the number of Africans, the number of South Americans who watch my channel is really high. I think a lot higher than most other channels. Oh, this whole time I've been looking at top chat. I should be looking at live chat. That's where all the good posts are. All the ones that get Zucked by YouTube by default. Kyoko Lina says Trump in 2022. That's not when the election is, but so I suppose. JP Silva says, "Var or Alex Jones?" That's a hard choice. I think if you—you should have the lifestyle of Var, but you should be more like Alex Jones in personality. Var is a notorious counter-signaler. There's not a single person like Var likes—I don't want to say he stabs people in the back, but his standards are just so high that he ends up even people, even his own allies, he ends up complaining about and of course then they're not his donation. Jan, is it Jan Hoffman or Yan Hoffman sent in 222? Keep up the good videos. Heart. Cheers from Germany. Why does everyone send me heart? Actually, I get a whole lot of hearts from people. I'm not quite sure in emails and stuff. I don't really understand this. It must be a cultural barrier. We don't do that in America, mind you. But, you know, whatever. Or if you want to send me a super chat with hearts, you're free to do it. Have you bought your land yet? No, I haven't. I'm still sitting on my money, which is gradually increasing just because I've been saving up from everything. Theoretically, I'd like to make money on YouTube, but I haven't really been trying to. I should be—I should make all my software proprietary and sell it to you. But what was I going to say? Yeah. No, but I'm actually thinking of not buying land and instead using land my family owns that I might eventually inherit and I might just build on that because that'll save me, you know, a couple tens of thousands of dollars, which is nice.
Mero want to make money through YouTube. Mero pick one. You can do it. I will say I do see channels that are smaller than me who have Patreons with like, you know, getting $2,000 a month. That does happen. It just—I mean, obviously I would like to make that kind of money or more from YouTube. It's just in order to do that. I mean, it's a shame. You have to be a shill. The thing is people will complain about shills, but then those same people will give money to shills and won't give people money for not being shills. So, I can sit here. I've never—no one has ever paid me for an advertisement. I only do videos on stuff I like. I try to be evenhanded, stuff like that. No one is going to give me money for that. You might pretend. Oh, you might say, "Oh, I like Luke because he's not a shill," but you're not going to give me money for that. Meanwhile, everyone else who is very willing to do that, I'm not going to mention any names, but those people who do do stuff like that can make a lot of money on YouTube. It isn't difficult to make money on YouTube. Like a channel my size, 45,000 subscribers, however many it is, you can very easily make money if you're willing to just sort of throw stuff, "Oh, donate blah blah blah." I mean, the most I do now, nowadays, I actually do put a donate link at the end of my videos, but that's about it. And it's not like I mention it in the videos, but anyway, yeah, no one is going to—you can get money from YouTube. I could get money from YouTube, but it's just I can't force myself to be a shill enough. But if I could find some way to sell something that I wouldn't feel a shill about selling, I would probably do it. But you know, speaking of donate, where's the EOMA laptop or whatever it was? They haven't sent those out yet. They were originally supposed to send them out I think January 31st, but they sent out an email saying that they wouldn't be shipping till March, which I'm a little disappointed about, but I mean they're like three or four guys doing this stuff.
Larsb logo shirts. I don't think I can actually sell that because the Larsb's logo has the Arch logo in it which I think precludes it from being used in merchandise that isn't Arch. So I actually can't. I have thought about that and I have thought about YouTube is now automatically integrated with Teespring. So you'll see a bunch of people with like t-shirts, you know, that they have in their video description or whatever. But I haven't done that. I have a couple t-shirt ideas, but they're like very obscure jokes. There's like a said 11 Q joke. Have you read Jean Frost France's boy book yet? No, I haven't read his book. I'm not particularly interested. I mean, people ask me how I think about JF Garipi, but the reality is I can't watch one of his videos. They're like eight hours. I'm not going to do it, you know? It's just not going to happen. I mean, I've seen parts of it. I don't really know. I mean, I guess I can guess the kind of person he is, but I'm just not the kind of person. I don't watch hours and hours and hours of YouTube. Out of curiosity, have you read Bronze Age Mindset? No, I haven't. I'd buy a set 11 Q shirt. Wait till you see it. I already actually have a decent design for it. I saw your messages, Bosad. I have that in my HD access file. I already have that, but the problem is you have to enable something in an Apache web server for it to work. I already have you. Don't worry about that. But yeah, there's something maybe I should actually check. Someone could—could someone Google for me how to look up how to activate a rewrite engine in an Apache web server? Could someone do that? I would do it. I figure I could just make you guys do it because I don't want to do it over here and then, you know, have you guys tell it to me. Think of all the stuff you learned from my channel. Just do me the favor of searching this rewrite. How to enable a rewrite engine on an Apache web server. There's some kind of mod you have to enable. It probably involves A2N mod. Probably involves that command.
It isn't A2 rewrite by the way. Couple of people said that that mod is already enabled. There's something else missing. Maybe it's not that. Maybe it's not something. Okay, let's see what's the error. If I go to luke.xyz/donate, it says the request URL donate was not found on the server. But if I'm on my server side and I run A2N mod rewrite, it says module rewrite already enabled. So that's my problem. So I could probably figure it out in 30 seconds if I actually tried. But since I'm spending like 25% of my attention on the chat here, I'm never going to figure it out. So, I'll immediately theoretically I should be doing this because I'll lose money because I haven't fixed this link. But, you know, YouTube is not all about money.
Okay, someone say something interesting. As you know, my live streams have all been me sitting here and responding to you, the viewer. So theoretically, I know there are some people out there who actually come to live streams with points of discussion, but the thing is since I don't really pay attention to the news, or I do pay attention to the news, but I don't care about it. I don't think it's important. I don't care about whatever happened to Ubuntu Unity this week. I'm not going to come here with anything to talk about.
Jesus, I swear if you say the same thing, if these people are writing the same thing over and over again. Oh my god. All right. You know, the problem is if you ask for help, if you ask for help in any public form, especially if you're someone like me with some, I don't know, modicum of public notoriety, people want to be helpful more than they want to be accurate or actually listen to what you're talking to. So, most people in the chat are just recommending me to either enable the rewrite engine or to put something in the ht access file. I have already done that. Stop telling me to do that. Next people who do it get...
That actually is, by the way, this is why you never ask for directions like in public because people usually want to be more helpful than they actually want to or they want to appear helpful. They don't necessarily want to help you out. You know what I mean?
When you say you don't want people to post you on G, are you using a reverse psychology? No, I literally do not want people to post me on G. I I've literally banned dozens of G posters on my channel and I will continue to ban them because they bring nothing but suffering. They bring nothing but annoyance. I'm sorry. Like, I'm not interested in being your e-celeb. It's not going to happen. Okay? I don't I don't care what people on this anime forum say about me. Doesn't matter.
So, I don't go on G either. I mean, I've been on it. Okay. All right. We're going to have to... But the reason I don't talk about G, mind you, people are asking me why. Uh, but the reason I don't talk about them is because I deliberately do not want I don't like I know that if I tell people if I do a video like I hate G, stop posting my stuff there, then people will post my stuff there. I mean, that's how it works.
Incoming word filter of G. I might just do that.
Thoughts on Han? Well, if 4chan is too cool for you, you go to Hchan.
Richard Tombra says, "Do you consider Thai spicy salad when naming larbs? Thanks for great videos."
No, I don't even know of is there such a thing? I honestly do not know. I just, um, I forget how exactly I came up with the word, but, um, well, literally it was pronounceable one, you know, one syllable and it sort of sounds fat. So, I chose a fat icon for it, which is just a meme. I stole probably from G. But, you know, why is he ignoring my Sam Hyde question? You scared he's going to visit you, Luke? Are you afraid of Sam visiting your home, Luke? No, I'm not afraid of Sam...
Why do people ask? So, look, I'll go ahead and say if you've posted the same question this chat is not going super fast. There are only 250 of you guys in it right about now. If you've posted your question 20 times, I've seen it 20 times. You don't have to keep posting it. That means I'm probably not going to answer it.
Do you believe it's possible to revive Sanskrit to the point of mass adoption? And should we expect a linguistic video anytime soon? I don't know why you'd want to adopt Sanskrit. I mean, why or any other particular dead language? As for linguistics videos, I mean, you know, I might wake up one day and decide to make a video on something, but it's really not something I plan in advance. Videos that I try to plan for weeks to do, I usually end up not liking them and not putting them up. But videos that I just get up, oh, I'm going to do a video on this, I'll do it. So when I have something in linguistics I want to do a video on, I'll do a video on it, but I don't find it a particularly useful thing to put tutorials up on or anything else unless it's relevant.
Remember the day Luca uploaded three videos in one day? I've never done that. Maybe if you're a European, it looks like three videos in one day, but I've never put three videos up in one...
Luke. I think my opinion on conlangs is well known.
What happened to episode three of Lunchtime with Luke? I never released it. How do you know about that? Well, you probably just guessed. I haven't released it. I did record it. I didn't like it, so I'm going to put something else up. I'll eventually record it again.
What do you think the best way is to make money from free software? I don't know. I don't make money from free software, so I haven't got the slightest idea. Not particularly interested, but you...
Hi, Luke. What keeps you going on YouTube? Nothing. I think about quitting every day. I mean, I basically have quit because I haven't put up videos in I don't even know how long. When was the last video I put up? Feels like forever. Let's see. Okay, I guess I put up a video five days ago. It feels like months.
Have you ever had a GF? I think one of my GFs has been on my channel. Maybe I misremember. No, I... Well, actually, I think one of my GFs was in one of my videos, but I edited her out because I didn't want her to be on...
Alex Barney, $10: "Have you read The C Programming Language? Thanks for the ThinkPad and Linux vids, by the way, and I have too many ThinkPads running Arch LOL."
Well, thanks for the $10. Uh, I have not read The C Programming Language, although I guess it is sort of the standard for learning C. But I can't say I have actually, you know, I think I've leafed through it, but I don't really do that much in C to be honest. I've never had a need to.
So, do you ever play Meferog? No, I've never played Meferog. I do have it somewhere. I think it's over there. Anyway, if you want to go to my library, luke.xyz/XYZ/library.html. You have to put the HTML nowadays until I get that rewrite engine working. Where is the King's General Theory? I don't even know where it is. Who knows? I got too many books. I was going to do a video, I probably still will, listing out all the books that I bought in 2018, whatever last year was. And I have them all stacked up on my desk. It's just this. So, my desk is like totally full of like I don't know, 20, 30 books, maybe more. But, um, yeah, I mean to do that video, just like a quick review of every single book that I bought.
I really like your presentation on language synesthesia from a while ago. Is your dissertation still on this topic? Yeah, I think, um, well that will the linguistic portion of it will be sort of on that. But, uh, as I said, I plan on doing more philosophy of science kind of stuff just because that's more I see myself doing linguistics less and going on to other topics and that's I think more it's more important to say things overtly in philosophy of science. Some of the things for example I've said in this live stream already, um, I think it's more important to say that than to talk about particular issues in linguistics. Although that language synesthesia presentation I do, um, yeah you should check that out. Just search language and synesthesia on YouTube and it'll probably come up. Let's see. Language synesthesia. Probably someone else's video will come up. We'll see. No, you got to... Oh, mine is the fourth result. So, you might want to throw in my name cuz it, you know, that's an old one, only got it didn't even get 4,000 views. That was way back in the day where my videos only got like 4,000 views or something. Actually, that one probably got less cuz it was, you know, in between a bunch of Linux videos. And then you have language synesthesia, Luke Smith, consciousness and language seminar. And who's going to watch that?
Why wear glasses indoors? I'm not wearing glasses indoors.
Luke, your linguistics, politics, economics, non-tech videos are what keep me coming back to your channel. Linux content attracts pajets, but I understand that it's your most popular content. Yeah, I mean it's what I traditionally did and I think it's probably my most hard-hitting content in that there was a need on YouTube that I've sort of fulfilled in doing these videos, but I also feel like there, um, I mean once I put a bunch of stuff out there, once I've put up a bunch of latte tutorials or videos on Vim or basic shell scripting, I feel like there's not that much more I can do on these topics. And the reason I feel like I mean, you know, last month, the month before I was doing a whole lot of videos, um, honestly I branched into some places I wanted to but, um, I don't know how I mean I've been saying this actually for like a year now like oh there's nothing more in technology for me to do videos on but I'll probably find more stuff. Um, that's what I said and then you know the next day I found Grath and I did like a dozen videos on that. So, but I do appreciate that I don't like I don't like being pigeonholed as a tech channel. Even though, you know, nine out of ten of my videos are technology, but it's not something that if you talk to me in real life, I'm never going to talk about technology unless you bring it up. Even if you deliberately bring up Linux, I will probably not even, you know, whatever. I won't go along with it.
Do you use an input method to type Chinese characters? Uh, to be honest, I've never really had to type Chinese characters on Linux. I think once or twice. I don't even remember. There's some standard tool for inserting characters. I forget exactly what it was, what it is, but I honestly don't have the need to write in Chinese on my computer. I've done it a couple times, but it's always like, oh, I'll look up how to do it, and it's like, oh, yeah, that's the thing. I'll install it and run it. It's something I think it starts with M. I don't even remember.
But why do you think you are so popular in YouTube for such a niche subject like Linux? Well, it's not even Linux. Um, I do really niche stuff within Linux. So, come to think of it, it is weird that I have so many subscribers at this point. Um, I mean, I see where people get to my channel. I mean, well, realistically speaking, most YouTube channels, they have a bunch of subscribers, but they're not like active. They don't... I mean, I have 45,000 or something right now, uh, subscribers. It's not like every video I get 45,000 views. I mean, something I'll get 5,000, definitely if it's something really clickbaity around 20,000 or more or something like that. But, um, yeah, I don't know. I think, um, honestly I mean if you want me to be totally honest I genuinely think the content on my channel is better than most by a good margin. And I'm not again I'm not saying that out of arrogance. I think generally the stuff I put out when I put stuff out is just better. And I'm trying not to be I'm trying not to sound like a jackass and saying that but, um, yeah I mean that's the whole point. I don't put out junk content. I have gone through periods where I put out a whole lot of videos, but I make sure that all of them matter. Um, and I guess there's also the constraint of like I get bored with my own stuff. Um, I'm usually more critical like, you know, people will be critical of your content in comments or whatever, but none of them get even remotely as critical as I am. Like I there have been dozens of videos I've made that will never see the light of day. They might be totally fine, but I just wasn't happy with them. I don't put them up.
So yeah, I think another thing that is nice about my channel, which is really just a fact of me being lazy, um, but I do think that it at least signals to people that the kind of stuff in my channel is that I don't do any video editing. I don't have any fancy introductions or outros or something like that. I don't even I mean in my first couple videos that I put out on my channel, I did some editing. I did some, you know, nonlinear editing stuff like that, but, um, really as it is now, it's just me. It's just as real as possible at this point. And part of that is just literally my laziness, but I think it's good because it keeps you to content. It keeps you to communicating as fast and as efficiently as possible. And if I were to do anything else, I mean, if I were to add intros to my videos, I mean, I've mentioned, oh, what if I do that, everyone is like, no way, don't do it. Um, but despite that, you know, you go on any random YouTube channel and everyone will be saying, you know, everyone has those kind of things, you know. Um, so there are, you know, I have thought of doing satirical intros like if anyone wants to make and send to me, you know, the Alia intro, you kid, you zoomers know what I'm talking about. I want that but with the Larsbs logo. Someone should make that and send it to me. You'll get an upcoming from me. You'll get a major upcoming if you do that. I might eventually do it myself, but I'm lazy. The Alia intro, but with the Lars logo. That would be epic.
Do you recommend Lingua Latina for learning Latin or is learning Latin a total waste of time? Um, no. Learning Latin is not a waste of time. I remember one of the first posts I made on the forum. Remember the forum guys? Uh, was my recommendations for basically everyone to learn Latin and Lingua Latina is probably the best series out there. It might require some kind of grammatical intuitions at the beginning, but you know, it's decent enough.
Miguel Valente, actually good channels. Do you consider these channels equal to yours in terms of quality? I guess you're referring to my recommended channels on my main page. Um, equal? I mean, they're different. Let's see who I have here. I change them every once in a while. I have Nim Taleb here. I have Wolf's Wolf Games channel. I have got BU. I have Survived the Jive. I have Chris Aaka Pinty, Thulium Perspective, IBSD, and PewDiePie. Forgot I put PewDiePie in there. Um, equal. I wouldn't say that. I mean, they're just channels I think are nice. I mean, I like Nim TB, so I put his channel in it. Um, I like Wolf Gang's videos and he doesn't have many subscribers, so I feel like I'll put him in. Uh, I think he's gone up a good bit since I have I don't know. It's because I put my recommend uh put him in my recommendation, but you know, I put them there. Uh, Gabbleu I put in because his videos are very similar to mine. I think if you like my tutorials, you should check his videos out. Um, his channel actually was more so than any others. I think that his channel was probably the biggest inspiration for me doing YouTube just because he has I think the same mindset that I do that is just get on your computer, start recording and just do a tutorial and that's it. So that aspect I like about his channel and he has so many videos, you know, and it's honestly weird now I look back at it because I have more subscribers than him now, which is really weird to me. In fact, geez, I like have double his subscribers. I put on so many, but his videos I think need a lot more. Um, I don't know. He's done videos on like everything. So, I recommend Got BTU. And then Survive the Drive. I like him, so I put him in. Uh, Chris Oapenti. Same thing with Godu. Uh, he also has videos on like literally everything. Um, and I put Var's channel and I put IBSD just cuz I don't know, I liked his stuff. So in terms of equal inequality, I mean I think it in terms of um I mean there's not really a way to establishing if a channel is equal to one other one. I mean how are you how would you evaluate you know let's say my channel and survive the jive whose channel is better okay they're totally different. I mean, for a lot of things, I would vote, you know, survive the jive being a better channel, you know, for, I don't know, his topic area, but obviously I cover totally different things, so it's not really comparable.
What do you think of computer science classes today? Do they cover the right stuff? I have no idea. I've never been in a computer science class.
Why Latin? Go read my post on the forum and I'll explain why.
What's your favorite Thulian perspective video? I don't know whichever one I get the most upcomies in. So, I mean, I realized, you know, Var I don't know if Var knows about my channel. I have no he has no reason to know, but uh he does give me a lot of heart cummies. I don't know why. Maybe it's just my takes are always hot when I post on his videos. But um I I I have the idea that eventually I'm going to make Avar mad and so he's going to ban me from his channel probably like he's done survive the jive or whatever. But um so I'll lose all those heart cummies. But you know that's that just comes with the territory you know you mentioned linguual. Is this a playlist on YouTube or is it a book? It's a book series, Lingua Latina Perce Illustrata. It's a book series by Hans Orberg. Uh, let me show you what it looks like cuz why not? Okay, for a second I was worried. I know I lent these books to an exGF or a GF back when she was my GF. Um, this is what they look like. I was worried she hadn't given them back, but um Oh, wait. No, you can't actually see it there. Okay, that's the first one. Here's the second one. Bam. Go get them. They're actually good. Really? Realistically, you only need the first one to sort of understand it. I mean, the first one is just like um I mean, it's a graduated reader. The entire book is in Latin, and it just starts out with super basic sentences. It explains the grammar in Latin, but it makes sense. And then, um, actually, I lent these to my roommate who could be watching, my roommate a couple years ago, and when I got them back, there were a bunch of tears on all the edges. All right, I noticed that, Ryan. But, um, anyway, uh, the second one is mostly, uh, original texts that have been abridged, but yeah.
No. I hear Vargas is building a tribe. Will you join it? I'm not invited to his tribe cuz I have black hair. So therefore, in his definition, I'm not white. Look, if someone knows nothing about linguistics, what books would you recommend them to get a gist of the field? It depends on what you mean the field. I'll go ahead and tell you I never read any books about linguistics until I already knew everything about it. Everything about it that you know what I mean understood the subject I guess. Um I mean in general I've done videos on this but you know people don't listen to them or they were a long time ago. Um you never learn a subject by reading a book. So there's no books I recommend for learning subjects. I mean the only books I can recommend are for things that are imminently practical like learning a language, something where you need a resource. But in terms of like familiarizing yourself with linguistics, well a good way of doing that would be for example just learning some language that is different from English. And in the process of doing that you learn about oh what is accusative case? Oh, what is tense and aspect and stuff like that.
Have you ever been to Canada? Yeah, I have been to Canada or at least only Quebec. Opinion on the IY. Is college a complete waste of time? Um, A, they're bad. Uh, B, yes, it is.
Did you do CS aspects like processing natural language in your linguistics PhD? No, that's one. I've never actually really done any, um, well, not like language processing as like a computational thing. I'm not I'm just utterly I think it's an utterly useless way of studying language. So, I don't do it. It's it is I know I said earlier in the stream I don't believe in the concept of pseudoscience and I stand by that but I think if you are going to use the word you should use it on a kind of cargo cult science that uses impressive sounding things to do improperly to do things that, you know, less impressive things do better and what usually what really what I mean by that is nowadays there's this tendency to use computational tools for everything. Do massive, you know, big data, you know, stuff like this, all this smart sounding stuff. And uh there's a tendency in linguistics and everything else to use massive statistics on all these things that uh you know like for his for example historical linguistics and most of the time it's just useless or it's when I say pseudoscience it literally is, um, you know, really just using a method of research that's more impressive sounding that uh is really just stupid. It isn't more communicative. It isn't more, um, a better representation of the world or something like that or blockchain. Yeah, people said blockchain. If you ever hear that, just don't never bet your money on anything blockchain related.
Will you do speedruns from the cabin? Video games are degenerate. Kids, don't do video games. There was actually a video games event that I was invited to on the campus here. Um, I thought about going just to do it. I don't know, just cuz if you are going to play video games, it's not that I'm totally against video games, mind you. The video games have their point and uh video games have in the same way that sports, you know, there's something you can do with people to have fun. Okay. What I'm against is the onanistic solipsistic practice of playing video games for hours and hours on end. That will never mean anything. Never. Every single hour you do you spend playing video games alone in your room is utterly wasted. You're literally just pissing your life away. But I didn't think about going to this. I did think about going to this video game event. Uh, and I might. They're having another one in a couple months, so I might go to that. So, if you're local, you can show up to it. If you're local, you know what I'm talking about on campus. I might go to the next one. So, you might be able to see me there. I'm saying 30% chance I'll be there. That's a high percent chance.
If colleges are bad, what would you suggest to a person that doesn't know how to learn by himself? What have you done to make yourself realize that you need to study on I don't study on my own. Studying is for school. There's nothing that I do. I don't sit here and oh, let me, I don't know, practice for a test or something like that. I mean, if I need to learn something, I'll learn it. I mean, the funny idea that people have is that you have to uh that knowing things about the world is you just have to store up knowledge, you know, useless knowledge, and then later you'll get tested on it. That's the mentality that school teaches you. I mean the reality is how did I learn things about computers? Did I sit there and study? How long have I studied Linux? You know how many books I've read about Linux? Zero. How many books I've read about i3? Zero. How many books I've read about any of this stuff? Zero. I mean what you do is once you have, you know, once you throw yourself into it into the element and you have to discover things on yourself the experience is learning that's what it is the concept of learning is being studying is just totally mistaken you know.
Don't infants use statistics in language acquisition. So, isn't there some value in learning that? No, they don't. There's statistics is something that is math that we do. You might look at some psychological thing that a baby is doing and you might say that that is statistical because we can model it statistically, but that does not mean that the baby is doing statistics. Very different things. I mean the thing is nowadays because there are algorithms that can model everything these trying to think of trying to coin a new word like soy devs are to programmers what X is to scientists. I want to make up what that X is. But people like this, you know, they they um again they they have this impressive sounding statistical toolbox and they want to put it every place they possibly can and they oh Bayesian inference everything is Bayesian inference. Um we can since we can model your brain with statistics it might it must actually literally be statistics in there. That's what it is.
The moon says science is gay. Just go to church. I agree. You'd be better off if you just went to church.
Work? Give me one second. Wait, I think I actually fixed it without even noticing.
Mind. All right. Are people saying something interesting? Let's see. Let's find out.
Recently. Do you think that machine learning is a meme? Yeah, probably.
Will Trump complete the system of German idealism in his first term? I hope.
What about compling and NLP then, Luke? They're garbage. That's what I think about them. I mean, you can do them. It's just when people do something. I mean, the thing is people have this uh I was about to go on a boomer rant without having my microphone plugged in.
Okay, it's back in, I think. Let's hope. Okay, it looks like it is. What was I going to say? Something about computational linguistics. Yeah, again, people have this weird idea that, um, you know, if you can model something computationally, you've discovered something about it scientifically. It's not really the case, but people get it confused. And if you're either, um, uh, you know, this uh I don't know, a soy trying to put soy on something, uh, a soy scientist, I don't know if you're one of these people who has a Reddit tier, a Redditor, if you're a Redditor, you know, your understanding of science is just like sciency things, you know, and so to you statistics, that's just smart and if things can be done with statistics then that is some deep truth about the universe.
NLP stands for neural linguistic programming. Yeah. If you're a normie, if you talk to a real linguistics uh a real linguist about NLP, they understand that to be natural language processing. Neural linguistic programming is just some like meme. I don't know, which I think is actually true, but everyone's saying Soyantist. That's pretty good. But it doesn't roll off the tongue the way I'd want it to.
Machine learning is a black box. It's just an algorithm. It's not learning. That's fine for you to say. That's also true. And in fact, it's very useful. But my point is in the field, if you were familiar with academic linguists or just you know scientists generally, there's this tendency for them to mistake something like that for some statement of truth. That is again if you can model something that way that says something. I mean keep in mind we live in a world where you have the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. Okay, which is a really a theory internal interpretation that became to be a statement of truth that is you know originally it was well we can model quantum particles statistically because we can't know exactly where they are or or how they're moving but we can model them statistically that's fine um that's true that's as a practical limitation that's a thousand% true but in um you know what the Copenhagen interpretation was was in effect since we can model them that way that is how the particles work. There is a cloud of existence around them you know a statistical cloud and it forces people to look at the world in a way where we're looking through the lens of a mathematical model. Now you might say, "Oh, machine learning doesn't say anything about, you know, uh, how language is actually processed or anything about language generally." But there are plenty of people out there who, um, who fail to distinguish those two things, Redditors as we call them.
Plato equals commie. Aristotle equals based. I don't know if I'd say Aristotle is based, but Plato is definitely a commie.
Isn't what Taleb does with statist? What? Oh, isn't that okay? Well, I don't know what he's talking about.
Is the machine learning field a possible end goal for your career? I've gone on for like 30 minutes talking about how I'm not interested in machine learning. So, did you ever have a favorite subreddit? Do you actually think I've ever been on Reddit?
Why aren't you pagan? That's probably worthy of a video unto itself.
See. You know what? I really should fix that donate link. I haven't been getting super cummies. I mean, a couple, but actually, yeah, let's see. Maybe there's just something up with...
Is? Haha. Very funny. Very funny. No one is using JavaScript or PHP.
Actually, you know what? Maybe I should just run an update. That's what I'll do. You never know. Might It might just be that. Uh, let's see.
All right, I'm going to do a lazy thing first.
Okay, link is fixed or it should be fixed. So, go click donate and see if it works. It doesn't. Don't worry if you click on it. It doesn't automatically steal money from your account. You have to follow the directions for that to work. I should have just done that like an hour ago. Probably lost so many super cummies. Um anyway, let me close out of all this. Thank god you can't see all the stuff that's pulled up on my computer.
How long till R Luke Smith gets banned for being a hate? Oh god, there's not an RLuke Smith, is there? I hope that's a...
Questions? Yeah, you can't talk about the JQ on JTube.
Do you think pure mathematics is worthwhile? I don't know. I've never done it. People always ask me, "Hey, is this major good?" Or, "I don't know. Is this life decision good?" You know, I haven't made every single major and every single life decision, so I can't tell you. Cannot tell you. I'd be a shill if I pretended to pontificate about things that I don't know about because, really, if you do a major in math or something like that, it might affect you in many unexpected ways. Same thing if you did a major in African-American studies. All right, you might laugh at someone who does that. You should probably. But you never know how it affects someone. It might make them worse than you. Literally, actually, rogue. This is a historic day. Luke visited Reddit, implying I didn't visit it through a proxy. Actually, you didn't see me use Reddit. What if virtue was only artificial? How would that affect the economy in your opinion? I don't even understand that.
Are you the reincarnation of Chris Aapenti? Chris Aapenti is still alive, so far as I know. Maybe we'll do an anime crossover someday. So, where's your own website you've been talking about? You mean that website? You can click on it now. Well, you can't click on it, but you can type it in the URL bar. There is definitely a way to put links in streams, but I don't know. I don't know enough about YouTube to do it. It's probably just some option behind five other options, but I'm too lazy to have you ever considered comfy background music for the streams like right now playing right now? Maybe. I don't know. That. But I don't have any. Yeah, play some bird zoom. What's the best way to hide an erection? Have it so the webcam is only pointing, you know, yay high. Then you'll be fine.
Why do pajets believe in reincarnation but still poo in the streets? Can you define a zoomer? Look at all these new friends. The funniest thing about having this channel is that 95% of the people who watch the channel have no clue about any of the jokes, any of the allusions, any of the memes, any of the anything. They're just sort of passively observing, and I don't really understand why. There's some people who watch my channel. I'll get emails from other YouTubers, and I'll look at their channels. Sometimes they're pretty big. But they'll be like, "You know what, a couple months ago, I got this email from this lady who did like a housewife channel — tips for raising your kids and stuff. She had a bunch of kids. She was very feminine, whatever. And she said, 'Oh, yeah. I watch your channel, blah, blah, blah.' I was like, 'You watch my channel? Like, what do you like about it?' She asked me some questions about technology or something, but it was really basic. It made me think that you don't watch my tutorials, because they're not really for you, I guess. So why exactly do you watch my channel? I'm literally curious." But now, she wasn't a trad thought. I don't think she was particularly trad. She was like a normie, a literal normie. Luke, if AI is a meme, how do you explain human consciousness? What?
When are you going to do a podcast on Uncle Ted? I don't know. Eventually, I have some other podcast. Actually, I don't want to tell you when I'm going to do a podcast episode next because that diminishes the fun and I'll be less likely to record it. Actually, if you watch my livestream a couple times ago, I mentioned what I was going to do a livestream on, or a podcast on. What happened to the copper water bottle? Where is it? Actually, where is it? Come to think of it. I don't really know where it is. I guess I moved it. I didn't lose it, did I? Maybe I did. I think it needed a good cleaning and I put it somewhere less prominent and I haven't been using it in the past couple weeks, but it's somewhere around here. Oh, look at that. A super chat. I'll read it. See that? That's what happens when you actually make the donate link work. Viva sent you 314. Uh oh, he just says pie. Very funny. Very funny. Yeah, that was the sound of a phone. Usually, for whatever reason, I have my phone silent and in my desk because that's just how I am. But recently, since I've been working my boomer carpenter job, I've been getting home lazy. I just want to take it lazy like a normie and I'll just throw my phone over there. Usually, I just don't know. Sometimes I just go straight to bed. I've gotten in the habit of going to sleep around 10 or something like that. I should probably turn this thing off and plug it up. I really don't need my phone. I should not take it to work. Yep. Gotta go to bed at 10 so I can wake up early in the morning and mow my lawn.
Will you ever do a video on RKO futurism? What's there to do a video on? I guess people just want you to spell things out for you. So, I don't know. There are many things in technology or political things or anything else that people always want me to do videos on, but honestly, it's sort of sad. Sometimes you just take things for granted, so I don't really view them as very important to do videos on. It's one of the reasons I don't really do political stuff because at my point in time, when you're an old boomer like me, when you see people with Reddit-tier opinions, you just say, "Oh, they're irreparable normies. They're never going to get better. There's nothing I have to say to them." So if you want to drag someone through something political or learning something, you really have to be right when you are learning it, when it's still fresh and exciting to you. So I'm not going to drag all of my subscribers through the works of Menches Moldbug or something, but maybe they should be dragged through them. But five Canadian dollars from Kumar Demani. This is long overdue for all the latte help and now gra. Thank you, Kumar.
What is the age range of the channel? I don't know. It changes every once in a while. I would say, well, we'll see. We'll find out. A while ago, I wanted to do a video on my channel analytics just to show people what they look like, but I never ended up doing that. Let's see. Luke Smith is my favorite paleo accelerationist. I don't know exactly what that means. I don't know how I am an accelerationist in any way. Acceleration is an idea I find really annoying and stupid. I'll say that it's basically like a cuck ideal. It's like the world is going to end, or really it takes a stupid assumption and is too afraid to combat it: that technological singularity or hyper-universalist morality or whatever is just an inevitability and there's no way that we can reduce it. And why is it an inevitability? Because the past 50 years have been moving that way, or the past 100 or 400 years have been moving that way. As if you can't look in history and see there have always been weird histories. There have always been directions of histories, and the only thing they have in common is that they all eventually are shown to be not true. Same thing today. You might say, "Oh, well, we're moving to technological singularity or something like that, or moving to some kind of expanding-circle morality. We're all going to have this universalist morality or something like that." That's what people say nowadays, the end of history, right? Francis Fukuyama's book: basically the whole world is going to be liberal democracy. Why? Because the past 50 years have been moving in that direction. It's a stupid idea because not just that idea, but the concept generally that there are just movements in history and you either are on their side or you're trying to resist them feebly. I just object to that very idea. Anyway, I'm going to check my demographics, check my age range. Looks like most of, well, let's see, 13 to 17 year olds make up around 2%. 18 to 24 make around 34%. 25 to 34 make up 37%. 35 to 44 make up 17. 45 through 54 make up six. Less and less down. Demographics. Yeah. So I mean the problem is just people are totally ignorant of what the world would look like from any other time. We have this silly idea that right now history is finally ending now; it's going to be over. It's a stupid idea though. It's a stupid idea. Will civilization collapse in the foreseeable future? I mean, it basically already is collapsing. Jac is funny though. I don't think he even takes himself seriously. I don't think he does either.
Luke, do you read Nietzsche? Yeah, I've read Nietzsche. I have a couple of his books. You can check what books I have at luke.xyz/library.html. HTML. Are you going to watch Jek versus Peterson? I didn't know that was a thing. Sounds ridiculous. Civilization collapse in a full hits-the-fan kind of way. Does one need to prepare for it? I mean, you should. So I'll talk about prepping, so-called prepping. First off, there are a bunch of boomers nowadays who do this prepping stuff. They store up food, stuff like this. They store up weapons or whatever because they're like, "Oh, the world's going to end or something like that." Now, I don't necessarily agree. Whether society collapses or not is actually irrelevant. The behavior they're doing, which nowadays is thought of as being a crazy subculture — oh look, they're saving up all this food — that in any other time and place would be considered just normal behavior. If you were a functioning family, you of course had a storehouse of surplus food that you needed because you never know what's going to happen. That's just nice to have. Nowadays it's normal if a family just has a little pantry with some junk food in it and that's it because you are so, I mean, in the past, and this is really only in the past 50 years in developed countries, homes have no existence outside of Walmart, outside of the grocery store, and this is a new thing. It wasn't the case 50 years ago or anything like that. It's just a normal thing for people to store food and weapons and all this other stuff because you never know what's going to happen. Even without civilization collapsing, every year there are things like huge snowstorms, hurricanes, power outages. These are just normal things. And people are so despondent and so stupid and so plugged into the system mentally that they just sort of live their life without even thinking about things like that and are totally helpless when something like that happens.
So, I mean, it's funny when you think about how literally unprepared people are. Even myself, right? If, keep in mind, I buy in huge bulk. I have a huge bag of flour. I have a whole bunch of potatoes. I have a whole bunch of rice. I just have that in my house just because it'd be nice to have it. I'm not a prepper. I'm just thinking I don't want to have to rely on going to the store all the time. So I buy in bulk. But even that people don't do. People will rely every day or every other day on going to the store or something like that. And homes are no longer places where people survive. There are no longer places where people actually create the means of survival. It's really just a repository for corporate-produced grocery junk and stuff like that. Luke, you have claimed that you only eat protein. I don't. What kinds of meat do you eat? Whatever meats there are. I don't like cured meats. But I'll eat pretty much anything else. I really like lamb. I don't eat it much. It's relatively expensive, but I do like lamb. I mean, I eat the typical stuff: a lot of chicken and beef and stuff. Feel. I'm going to put on my bathrobe. Normally, I would take my clothes off first, but can't do that on livestream. I'm not a Twitch thought. Things I take for granted. Lamb is very cheap here in Australia. You can get it cheap here if you know where to look. But the thing is, it's not popular enough for it to be mass-produced in America. So it's very rare that people even find it at the grocery store. You have to pretty much go to a specialty butcher and they'll have it out there.
But you misspelled Atlas Shrugged in your library. Oh well. Finish your Deus Ex playthrough. I don't know if that's ever going to happen. Maybe. I'll think about it. But of course, I don't have that original save, so I'd have to start from the very beginning. Although that wouldn't necessarily be bad because I remember doing very poorly on that. I know I played on the hardest level, but I remember making stupid mistakes or something. So, no one's talking about anything interesting. When will be the right time for you to pursue a relationship? I'm not interested in pursuing a relationship. You don't have relationships just to have them. I mean, if you're talking about a woman, but yeah, I'm over the dating stuff. I don't do that anymore. Oh my god. Everyone's like, "MTO, are you MTO, dude?" Dude, Megttow is so cool, dude. I'm sorry. I've trashed Megttow far too long for me to have to do it again. So, I'm not going to. It's literally I'm butthurt. And no, I'm not even going to go into it. Not even going to go into it.
Luke Smith, your fans are so cringeworthy. That's right. You're right, Elon Bers. I agree. Literally, some days I will get up and read not negative comments, mind you, but cringe-tier positive comments on my channel and I will just never want to get up. I'm like, I should never put up another YouTube video. I should delete my channel. So embarrassed. That's why I deleted the form, you know, answers trash questions only. It's because there are only trash questions. Don't worry about it. I've been seeing your questions. Absolute contempt. Contempt for the audience. That's what they come here for. Yeah, I will probably eventually there will just come one day where I'm just like I can't even do it anymore. It might be after a stint of many videos, but eventually a day is going to come where I'm just like I can't take anymore. I'm just deleting my channel. It's not worth it. It's not worth it. Have a girl on your streams. Lol. I should do that. Except there are no girls on the internet that I find interesting. So I can't have an eth thought come on. Not big into eth thoughts. Actually, I don't know. Maybe there's a girl out there on the internet that's okay. I can't think of one.
Luke, we all know the shekels will become too much for you to do that. Implying I make any serious amount of money from YouTube. If I don't constantly put out videos, I'll make nothing. I mean, when I put out lots of videos, I guess in January or December or whatever it was, I made more money than I usually do, but it's still like nothing. It's not worth a full-time job. Maybe if I made 10 times as much as I made then, it'd be worth it, but definitely isn't now. Marie Cashache can't speak English, so I can't have her on. And I'm sure I'll do something. There's something that Var can find in my history that he won't like. Plus, I have black hair, therefore I'm not even white. So, Shuan Head is the best meme girl. The coal burner. Maybe she can speak Latin. No, I don't think so. I don't think so. YouTube is not carpenter money. Actually, no, it isn't. The money I make on my boomer job is much more than I make on YouTube. I could quit. Honestly, if I were interested in money, the thing I would do with my YouTube channel is delete it and do anything else. If I had a minimum wage job, I'd have to work all the time, but a minimum wage job makes more than I'd make on YouTube. Okay, it's nothing. So all these people — people don't say it seriously, but when someone is nagging some YouTuber, even someone who gets lots of super cummies, you go to some live streamer, they don't make that. The money that you see them make in super chats or whatever seems like a lot, but when you do the math and you think of, "Oh, this is the money they're making," they'd be better off if they were just doing wage-cut jobs. So unless you're super huge, you're not going to make any amount of money on YouTube. Don't ma — no. Or if you're like Lunduke and you just monetize literally everything, you can make money. But if you're a non-shill, you're not going to make money. YouTube takes what, 33%? I mean, YouTube automatically — I don't even see the amount that YouTube takes, so that doesn't matter. Oh, and super chat. Oh, they take like everything. Super chats basically don't matter. Super chat, and especially because YouTube incentivizes people to give stupid $2 donations because if they do that, they get like everything. Same thing PayPal does or whatever. If you want to actually give me money, okay, the way to do it, you can click on the donate link. There are multiple links to donate directly to my bank account or I think if you use the PayPal.me link, it will go directly to my account. Those are the ways to actually get me the money that you send. But like a super chat, this is literally just YouTube's way of making money. People that are smaller than you were making good money. Well, yeah, because if I wanted to monetize every corner of my channel, I could. I don't really feel comfortable with that. I don't feel like being a shill, so I don't do it. You don't have crypto payment options. Yes, I do. If you clicked on the or went to the donate link, I have crypto stuff too. But I never use crypto for anything. So, I don't know. Unless Bitcoin gets extremely expensive, I probably will just keep it there.
Will you actually make your own work to sell like V's book? I mean, eventually I will, but the thing is the kind of stuff that I would sell wouldn't necessarily be related to my technology content and it would probably be very different. I don't know why people watch my channel. I know that's a weird thing to say, but I don't really know the motivations of them because what exactly is common between all of my videos? Nothing really, except for myself. So it's hard for me to appeal to that entire audience. If I did, I have lots of writings and stuff and if I did put some of that into a book, I could do that. I could probably put it up for sale, but it would be hard to market it because I'm not quite sure what the audience would be other than people who happen to have stumbled across my YouTube channel and just like hearing me talk in their head. So, I'm saving up for the Uncle Luke manifesto. Yep. Then I got to find out how exactly I want to sell it, because I'd probably sound like a shill if I did, or you know exactly how to publish it, get it printed. I got to do all that eventually. I've already looked into it even though I don't even have a complete book yet. I might actually publish little booklets. I have a couple booklets coming. So, anyone remember a year or so ago? Yeah, it was around a year or so ago where there was the row where in one video I said something negative about the metric system and for the next month I had atheists nagging me on my channel about it. I actually wrote stuff down. I wrote a satirical dialogue about that because I wanted to do a video explaining why I don't like the metric system and why the metric system is really the incarnation of a bugman system of measurements, which everyone has been taught in school, reasons why the metric system is superior and logical. But all of those reasons are very bad. And it's based also on a misunderstanding of traditional measurements. And I don't just mean the measurements Americans use, which are actually a pale husk of what true traditional measurements are, but it's based on a misunderstanding of the purpose of measurements generally. So I wrote a satirical dialogue, which isn't entirely done, but it's partially done, explaining traditional measurements and making fun of metric cucks and other stuff like that. But of course, I didn't finish it, so I never published it. So that's another little thing. There are a bunch of little things that I have. And I might — I've thought of actually sometimes publishing even email correspondences and stuff like that with permission maybe. Yeah, you all need red pills on that. It's not the kind of thing I can explain in a livestream. That's why I wrote the dialogue. Well, I thought about doing a video just sort of explaining. Well, yeah, we'll wait for the dialogue. Oh, you know what? Next week when I'm on vacation, I might actually finish it up. Maybe I'll publish it just for fun. I'll let that be my first minor publication. A dialogue. What did I actually name it? Let me — I might not actually have given it a name. Oh, no. I didn't give it a particular name. If you can think of some meme name to call it, I'll put it out. But yeah, I showed it to some friends and they were persuaded by it. It's anyway, we'll talk about that later. Are you going to Southeast Linux Fest this year? I probably will. Have they put out information on their thing? Let's
On. I hope this isn't another roads video. Promise. I'm going to eventually do the roads video. Eventually. Boomer yells at metric system. Yes.
Have you tried selling through Bandcamp? What? What? Selling what? Rants? Who would buy them? Who buys rants? Boomer confronts metric system and destroys it. That's a possibility. Might do that.
The thing is, confronting the metric system is an interesting topic because if you have any kind of public web presence like me, there are certain groups of people who are very cultlike. Vegans are the classic example. You might not have strong opinions about vegans, but if in your videos you mention eating meat or say an expression like "kill two birds with one stone," which of course is a microaggression against animals, you will get regailed with vegans. The vegans will come out of the woodwork and will just nonstop trash post on your channel. They will harass people in the comment section. For whatever reason, vegans just work like this. I don't know why.
Well, I have ideas as to why this is how vegans work. And everyone knows it. Everyone who has a platform on the internet knows that this is how vegans work. That's why if you have a YouTube channel, let me tell you what: if you're a vegan and you post about vegan stuff on people's channel, you're probably banned by every channel at this point because if you don't actively prevent vegans from posting on your channel, they will take them over. That's just how it is. I don't know. That's how vegans are.
I was actually going to do a video on veganism soon, but I mean actually do it, not like the roads videos. Anyway, I say this because when I did that video on the metric system — or no, I didn't do a video on the metric system. What I did, the terrible microaggression I did, is in a video on R the programming language I had a data column in degrees centigrade and I converted that as an example. I performed a mathematical operation on each one converting it to Fahrenheit and I was like, ah, I like Fahrenheit because it's better calibrated. Zero and 100 are better calibrated to actual human temperature. Just a random note, and keep in mind centigrade degrees temperature is not even the area where all the great things about metric systems supposedly are. There's no such thing as a kilo degree.
But when I said this, I had the exact same thing happen to my videos that happens when you say something against vegans. Every single Reddit-tier thinker who, keep in mind, it's not like there are really two different kinds of people who will defend the metric system enthusiastically. One is non-Americans, typically Europeans, who have an axe to grind against Americans because Americans don't use the metric system. Well, first off, Americans do use the metric system, but Americans use this other system, and that makes them stupid. And this is one potential area where a non-American can grind their axe. That's the one type of person.
And the other type is an American bugman. Now, if you're an American, you're told about how great the metric system is in school. You're basically taught in school the metric system is a more logical, superior system of measurements. We use an irrational one. It's just a holdover. We'll eventually get rid of it. That's what you're told in school. And so there are a bunch of bugman Americans, I suppose, who are a little autistic as well, who will take their sort of cosmopolitan bent and they will defend them, go out of their way to annoy people for using inches. And my job day in, day out, we use inches at the workshop. That's just how it is because everyone does, and other reasons. And you can't really divide metric stuff by 12. You often need to, or 3, anyway.
But the responses you get from metric supporters are exactly the same as vegans. And because there are really these two different personality types, they're particularly attracted to it. Now keep in mind there are alleged advantages to the metric system, and as I argue in the dialogues, which I will release eventually, the alleged advantages of the metric system, which typically amount to "they're divisible by 10" — you have kilo units, you have mega units, you have micro units, milli units, whatever you need, and they're all divisible by 10 — that alleged advantage is in real life utterly useless. And in fact, people don't really use them. People use meters and kilometers. They don't really use deca decorters. Who's ever heard of those?
You don't actually use the — really, they're only, of all the possible measurements, there are only a small subset of those measurements that are actually useful for humans and traditional measurement systems. The traditional, whatever it's called, the ones that Americans use, or really any other kind of measurement system, these are highly calibrated to those areas that we often use, whereas the metric system doesn't really care about those particular areas. They care about uniformity across everything. So anyway, well, I'm going too much into what I'm actually going to talk about in the dialogue, but needless to say it's one of those things where you have people who, I guess, have internalized — again, a lot of these Americans in particular internalize what they learn in school as sort of, I don't know, they just get emotionally attached to it without actually thinking about the consequences of things like all of these different cultures converged on systems of measurements that are more or less similar and they were abandoned not because they were irrational but because there was an ideological movement towards the metric system after the French Revolution and of course after European colonialism that moved things to the metric system and we sort of think of that as being some triumph of reason or something like that.
Anyway, I talk too much about this. I didn't intend to talk about this at all, but I think if you're interested at all in sort of Fred-pilling yourself on this, I would just sort of look at traditional measurements, how people use them, why they existed, what they were for. Because if you're a bugman, you're thinking in terms of metric. You're thinking in terms of how many inches are in a foot, how many spans are in a foot, how many spans are in a cubit, something like that, without reference to what any of these things actually meant. A fathom is used for something different than an inch. Same thing, a chain is used for something different than a furlong. They all have specific domain-dependent uses. It makes no sense to use the same units, inches, to use them for something you calculate distance in. So anyway, the metric system is good at converting at high scales, which is exactly the one thing you don't need in a measurement system, whereas it is utterly lacking in granulated detail in specific areas. That's exactly what you need in a measurement system. So that's part of it.
Anyway, all right. All right, I went on longer than I expected on that. Did I miss anything? Anyone say something funny? Lou, create your own unit system. No, the point is measurement systems as they existed in most societies worked fine. You don't need to invent a system. Metric-style base 12 system would be pretty dope. See, when I was an autistic bugman, I supported that. I was like, we should have a base 12 system. It's better than a base 10 system. We just need metric in 12. But really, just the whole concept of metric is stupid. But it would be better if it was based on 12 rather than 10.
But imagine the stupid mind you there metrification is not complete. There are a bunch of other stupid things that the French revolutionaries and such wanted to implement as part of the metric system that never worked out, like metric time. Ten hours in a day or something like that, or ten days in a week, or ten months in a year. People unironically suggested stuff like that. I don't know if it was actually 10 hours in a day. That sounds so stupid, but it might actually be. But yeah, 10 months in a year and stuff like this, or yeah, imagine having 10 days in a week. That would be, I don't know how you do weekends. Or even 100 minutes in an hour. Imagine trying to divide an hour into three parts, something that we do all the time and we can easily do because wow, the Babylonians had 60 for their minutes and that works out perfect. 60 is like the most divisible number, divisible by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; it's divisible by everything so you can divide it all over the place.
So this ancient — I mean, time is Lindy, kids. Minutes are Lindy. Metric is not Lindy. That's the point. It makes sense to have 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour, etc., etc., but it's autistic to have the same unit at every single scale. Used to be 10 months. December stands for 10. No, December does stand for 10, but the months were just in a different order.
Oh, a Samaritan's fanboy. Oh, are you unironically defending metric time? Are you unironically defending it? It's really useful to have the same units in every single scale, you mean? No, it isn't. There's no point in dividing different scales. I mean, how many times do you need to, in real life, convert centimeters to kilometers? At the scale of kilometers, centimeters don't matter and vice versa. Well, you know, doesn't really matter vice versa, but metric is so good at doing the one thing that is absolutely useless.
Bastia gives $2. Thanks for the red pill. Here you go, YouTube. YouTube thanks you for your donation. Remember kids, you can donate directly to my bank account, the donate link up there using Zelle. If you're an American, you can use it because it is imperial-units based. Everyone should use it that's an American. Although, if you're a European, you can still use PayPal. That's okay.
What about scientific writing for ultra small numbers? Isn't that the same for America, Europe? Things never get even in the end. Wait, I thought that question was going to be about something and then it's like I had an aneurysm reading that. If you're asking how you get small units, there are small units much smaller than an inch in traditional measurements. But I'm not against using the metric system. I am against metrification. The idea that the metric system has to be used for everything, that's totally stupid.
But if you want to use — there are, I mean, keep in mind in America we use the metric system when it's useful, when we need to divide huge units, when we need to see how much water gets warmed by x degree, how much temperature, whatever energy is required to warm water up by how many degrees. Okay, we can do that. We can use the metric system. But we could just use our other normal measurement systems when we need to do normal things and even more than that, keep in mind traditional measurements, or the US imperial system so-called — again, it's really a bunch of different measurement systems. For example, basic measurement inches and feet, that's one little domain just have inches and feet for things that are about human size. You have another domain of miles or traditionally leagues or things like that.
Leagues, by the way, that is the most redpilled measurement. If you don't know about what a league is, I mean, it has an official definition, but traditionally what a league is is how long it takes a person to walk in an hour. So, and it's actually a measurement of spacetime as well, because if it isn't a set distance, but if it's very rocky terrain, a league might be a smaller area, whereas if it's somewhere easy to traverse, it's a larger area. So that's what a league is. And it avoids you having to ask the stupid question of, oh, how far away is your house? X many kilometers, how far away is that? Or you have to do extra math on top of that. Leagues are very nice for that.
Anyway, so in addition to that, you have another domain for measuring like plots of land. You use chains and furlongs and stuff like that, which again, normal people, we don't even have to know, but it's useful in that area because it has a different scale. But anyway, what I'm trying to say is that traditional measurements are actually a bunch of different measurement systems, all useful for their specific domains. And there's nothing wrong with using the metric system when it's useful, too. But for most, the idea that the metric system should be used in all cases because it has advantages in its own case is silly.
Metric is useful. Metrification is not useful. Okay, I get what you mean. My autism has calmed down now. Well, that's good to hear. But you should have, if your autism gets excited about anything, you should always double check to see if it's not something absolutely stupid. That's what autism does. Gets obsessed over things that don't matter.
Or just say 2 hours away. Well, yeah, you have to say it because you don't have the leagues in your vocabulary. Same thing. I mean, and I wonder how far metric cucks will go. For example, if I say, "Give me a cup of that." Is that irrational? Should I say, "Give me several milliliters of that?" Is it — I mean, what about a handful? Is that a traditional measurement? Should we replace that with a metric representation of whatever that is that is specific to my hand? I am sure there's someone suffering from crippling autism who will say yes.
How do you manage to live without drugs? Is Jesus the answer? Just don't use drugs. I don't understand. Live streaming arguing with about measurements. Yep. This is what this channel has ascended to. Autistic discussions. Let's — we got to have an internet blood sports where I go head-to-head with some Reddit bugman.
All right, kids. You want to learn some traditional? Okay, maybe we shouldn't be too autistic. You guys know how to measure everything, right? I mean like cubit, span, that's a shaftment from here to here. Now interestingly enough if you actually let's not notice something about your body you can do this at home kids. So in traditional measurements if you take your foot — I mean, you know, foot is a measurement. Now if you take your hand like this, okay, this is a palm. Now, the palm's width is actually a traditional measurement. And there are four palms widths in a foot. And if you actually put your palm's width to your foot, maybe there's three. Hold on, let me check. No, there are four. Four palms widths will make up your foot. Even if your foot is a slightly different size, there still be four of them. And that's the traditional measurement.
Now, there are four digits in each of your palm. That's a measurement. So there are four digits in a palm and there are 16 digits in a foot. So you can actually try that out. It actually works out how the human body is shaped. So you can do that as well. And I think there's — let's see — I think there are two spans in a cubit maybe. Yeah, that's about right. Or something like that. Don't do three. Don't do — no. Okay. If you're if you say, "Oh, I have three palms." No, you're doing it wrong. You're doing hands. Hands are another measurement. You're measuring your thumb as well. You want to ignore your thumb. You want to have just your four fingers. Now, if you include your thumb, that is a hand. That is a slightly different measurement. And you can see that if you include your thumbs, that'll be about three. So, now you know. So, everything works out. Even if your body, of course, we all have different sized feet, but your body will tend to work out, you know, unless you're like terribly malhapen. Still two. You're doing it wrong. Still three. Don't count your thumb. You have to hide your thumb. Here. You're measuring your foot. That's what you're doing.
Now, this is the boomer content and I subscribe for. Thank you. That's what you're looking for. Is there a specific type of comment that you don't interact with or are you reading most of the comments at all? I don't know how many of them I'm reading. I'll see what I see. I usually don't answer comments that I've answered millions of times on live streams or just like jokes I'm not willing to go with or, you know, I don't know. When you see, you have to put it in from my perspective. Every day in, day out, you might post the joke on my channel that you think is the funniest thing. You might say, "Okay, he uses Arch Linux. Guess what I'm going to put in his video? I'm going to say I use Arch, by the way." Dude, that's so funny. Okay, well, imagine it from my perspective where I see the same jokes, the same hot takes, the same even comments about my appearance every single day. Now, how many of those are actually going to make me laugh? How many of those am I going to look at the person who posted it and say, "Oh, wow, that's so deep." Now, hopefully this gives you a view into what it's like to have a YouTube channel because a lot of it is repetition. A lot of it is. And you just have to be in that position when you are ready to deal with it. I use metric btdub. I read tabbt dub. Cipher. I use archbtub. Please upvote. You mean upcoming. That's what we say here. Upcoming. That joke hasn't gotten boring to
Oh, do you do video donations? What does that mean? In one of your Vim videos, you show that you automatically delete trailing whites spaces at the end of a line. Doesn't that destroy your markdown files? Where do you need trailing whites space and markdown files?
Are you active on Patreon? Maybe if you click the donate link or type it in, you would find out. Active? No. I mean, active meaning, do I post all the time? No. Lunduke memes haven't gotten old. You can still make fun of Luke. Is he still on YouTube? I don't even know. I haven't heard from him in a long time. Okay. Apparently, he still is. Okay. It's not really getting many views nowadays, though. He has more subscribers than he used to.
Anyway, Luke envies Lunduke. Yeah. No, he doesn't know the Lunduke meme. Yeah, I don't know. I haven't — I used to be recommended his videos, but they haven't popped up anymore, so I didn't know if he actually posted stuff anymore. He did pay well everything but eventually came crawling back to YouTube. Lunduke returned to Twitter. He said that he's been bullied as a white boy in school and he's back to save the nerds on Twitter from bullies. I asked him how and he didn't reply.
Yeah, I know. He went on a thing where he's like, "I'm going to delete social media." First off, having social media in the first place, but B announcing it. I don't know. It's a bad sign. When I deleted my Twitter, I just deleted it or I think I tweeted out, "I'm going to delete my Twitter." And then like four hours later, I deleted it for good and that was it. And yeah, nerds should be bullied. I think everyone knows my policy on that.
You can watch my video. What was that video called? It was something funny. Or at least the con — oh, like Day of the Swirly or something like that. I dab on nerds. Yeah, I dab on nerds. Yeah, I dab on all you nerds. And it had the Pepe and the Jany thing. Oh, that's classic boomer. Classic boomer.
Show us some book. Father, if you want to see a book, go to my website and click on the library and you can see all the books I have. lith.xyz/library.html. HTML. Anyway, I would move the camera, but I don't know if there's anything sensitive over here. You should just delete it and say you got banned. All right, I should probably go to bed soon because I'm a boomer. Got to get to bed at 10:00. Probably eventually. Welcome to the Lunduka. I've been on for a while.
Well, next time when I do a live stream, I got to remember to fix the donations first because I'm in it for the money. I probably should have done that though. Although, thanks to everyone who has donated or will donate in the coming minutes. Just a couple, but it does — even if you give a super chat, which is probably mostly going to go to YouTube, it does make a difference for me. So, as you know, I'm not the kind of person who talks about that kind of stuff all the time, but of course it does.
I ain't giving you [unclear: \h__\h]. Shill some scrolls and I'll buy that scrolls. What are you talking about? My own scrolls. All right, I'm gonna go to the bathroom, but I'm not closing off the stream yet. I'll come back in just a second. Maybe I should turn on some music or something. I don't know. Let's see. I always forget how my little thing here. Let's see what I have. Oh, wait. Wrong keyboard.
That's going to get demonetized. Or do I care? Yeah, whatever. I'll just do this one. That might get demonetized, too, but who cares? Oh, wait. I don't even have the theater mode on, do I?
Where the heck? Audio output. That's what it is, right? All right. Okay. That ain't working. That isn't working, kids. Isn't. Yeah. Well, I would go and pee, but I want to figure out what's going on here first. Actually, move back here.

So, as I said, I'm probably going to close it out pretty soon. Let me just double check BTFO. There's a new Zimbabwe video. Let's see what it is. I might have already seen it, but if it's interesting, we might watch it. NPC journalism. I haven't seen this right. So, I'll be probably going to bed relatively soon. Let's see. Now, see, I said I was going to end the stream okay. Two euros from Miguel Valente. He doesn't say anything though. Thank you for the euros.
What CPU are you running on? This is my desktop. I actually stream off my desktop. Now, if I were doing — if I were watching video and streaming audio from that, my ThinkPad would go a little slow. It'd be a little choppy. So, I use my desktop for this. It has an i7 something or other. I don't know. God knows I don't know about modern technology.
Are you going to upload the live stream for people who came late to the party? Live streams are always uploaded. It's just I take them down if there's some reason to.
Boomer doesn't know about modern technology. Well, there's nothing to know about. I don't know, processors and stuff. It doesn't matter after a point. More processing power doesn't matter if you have a computer that doesn't blow. Like, if you don't have Windows 10, who cares? Like, an Intel Core 2 Duo will get basically everything done. Unless you're doing like professional video editing, it doesn't really matter. You might as well have a Core 2 Duo. Or if you're doing something like this, you know, if you're live streaming fancy graphics in your face and all this stuff, you might need something a little nice.
So, do you have a favorite podcast? Probably just mine. I don't — which sounds arrogant but if I didn't think my own podcasts were the best I wouldn't be making it. So not related.xyz folks.
Um play the Zimbabwe boy video. Did I actually get it right, kids. I'm probably going to call it a night cuz I'm getting a little tired cuz I'm a boomer and boomers have to get to bed before 10:00. Anyways, I said at the beginning of the stream. Next week I'm going to be taking a vacation, which might mean that I make more videos or I might be recording videos, but I won't be able to upload them till I get back because I'll probably be at a place where I don't really have internet. That is, I live in a relatively small area, small town now. But I'm going to a place with where there's even less. I'll just say a town of about a 100 people. They don't really have fancy internet or any of that stuff. And I'll probably be there for around a week. Probably still be recording videos. Even if I don't put them up, I'll just put them up later. I'll have plenty of time to do Boomer Rants and Woods videos. Maybe lunchtime with Luke. Maybe even some old tutorials and stuff. All right, until then I will see you guys later, but I'm going to close off this stream.
