Start by opening your Bibles to Mark chapter 6. There is this passage I was thinking about the other day, and I was also thinking about how I never answer emails and how I feel about that. I'm going to wait for the chat to show up on this live stream, but it should pop up in a second.
In Mark 6, Jesus is with the disciples, and the disciples are tired because they've been doing all this stuff. They're like, "Oh, my feet hurt. I want to go home." So Jesus is like, "Okay, whatever. Take a ship, go across the ocean, and you can have a little rest away from all the unwashed masses." Because the unwashed masses, of course, they want to consume Jesus product, right? They just want to hear what he has to say.
So Jesus and the disciples get in this boat and go to the other side of the sea, except the unwashed masses follow them. But even then, Jesus looks at them and has compassion on them, like sheep without a shepherd. I always remember that because that is exactly not how I feel when I get so many emails and comments. My first reaction is not compassion or wanting to help people, but, "Oh man, this question again? I've been getting this question for like five years. Why don't these people know better?" That's how I've always felt about it.
Finally, the chat is coming up. That's one of those things I have to get my mind right about, I suppose. Honestly, it's not so much about being Christlike, though I guess you could say that. It's also about not being Reddit-like, because Reddit is the exact opposite of that. Reddit is just a bunch of people with 110 IQs who spend all day trying to feel superior to people who have 100 IQs. It's just a big circle jerk about how smart mediocre people are.
The most important thing is being able to look at people who are your inferiors. And there are people who are your inferiors. I'm not saying everyone who watches my channel or asks me questions is my inferior. That's not what I mean. But in any relationship, as Confucius said, there's always going to be someone who knows more and someone who knows less. The important thing is being gracious with them, so that's what I'm going to try to do.
We already have super chats because I was a million hours late. I originally said I was going to be here at 7:15, and those times don't really count anyway. You can go to the donation link above my head. Super chats work, but donating another way is better. I'll read other donations as well, and I prefer non-super chat donations because YouTube gets a cut of super chats that's obscene.
ADIQ gang, rise up. There is hidden wisdom there, and some things dumb people will never get involved in, which is for their own good. Anyway, let me read the super chats.
Which church has more theological legitimacy, the Catholic Church or Eastern Orthodoxy? I think Orthodoxy is probably a little easier to defend in that respect. The Catholic Church has this idea that it has to actively go and define doctrine, while Orthodoxy is more willing to say there are a lot of things we don't know and a lot of things are mystery. The Catholic Church has also endorsed a bunch of things for weird historical reasons, so it's not always that defendable.
I'm not a big fan of Vatican II. If I were a Catholic, I would basically have to be a sedevacantist because I find Vatican II irreconcilable with everything the Catholic Church has taught. The biggest difference between Eastern Orthodoxy and the Catholic Church isn't specific beliefs so much as how they're organized. Orthodoxy is more agnostic about a lot of things, while Catholicism keeps trying to define more and more.
I'm in a hotel room, by the way. I'm going on a little trip, seeing some people, doing some things. I hate driving. I only drive a couple hours a day. I got a cheap hotel, and if you donate, that's going to go to my travel expenses. I was thinking I could probably do a live stream every night on trips and cover my costs that way.
Are you still thinking of getting into Freemasonry? Do you have any interest in Gnosticism or Hermeticism? As a social organization, I have no issue with Freemasonry. Most of my family has been in it in the past. I read Freemasonry stuff to know what's going on, and they just sort of have Hermetic views about things. I can't attest to what they actually do.
I did start putting together a Greek and English bilingual text of the Hermetic Corpus to publish. It was about 80% done, and it's always the last 20% that's the hardest. I might still do that. The Greek text is sort of necessary if you really want to understand the nuance of it.
Don't expect me to do a video on Mench's mold book. I don't know anything about it. I've never had a reason to get into it. Maybe I'll look into it, but I just don't really have opinions about it. Thoughts on Chainlink? I don't have any Chainlink right now. I sold it when it was a little higher.
How do I find a girlfriend, Luke? Just be more confident, bro. Literally.
During the Corona apocalypse, my cousin wanted to be internet famous, so she wanted to be on a stream with me. We got ready to do that, but our internet was bad. I think I was just being stupid and didn't know how to operate the interface after YouTube changed it. We might do that later.
Maria Gimbutas did a lot of good work on Proto-Indo-European, but she also injected weird feminist stuff into her work. Most linguists nowadays are so disconnected from linguistics that they don't know who Maria Gimbutas is. She popularized the Kurgan hypothesis, the idea that Indo-Europeans come from an archaeological culture in modern Ukraine.
She had these weird feminist mother-goddess ideas that were popular in the 70s. She basically had this narrative that Indo-Europeans were evil, the world was peaceful and gender-egalitarian, everyone worshiped the mother goddess, and then evil Indo-Europeans came around and ruined everything. There's no evidence for that cultural view.
Even if you have cringe politics, every once in a while you'll have an idea or a stupid notion that leads you into something that is actually verifiably true in some other domain. The general idea that Indo-Europeans come from that region she popularized is now generally considered true. I'm not saying feminism is good, but sometimes aberrant ideologies shake up your preconceived notions and motivate new research.
Is linguistics academia cucked? Yes, for separate reasons. They're all cucked. They're all terrible. That's why I'm not really in academia anymore. Theoretically I'm still in a PhD program, but I don't do anything anymore and they don't fund me anymore.
OpenRC, runit, or s6, and why? I don't really care that much. I use runit. I've never used s6. OpenRC I've had trouble with because it loads a little slowly and is harder to configure.
Thoughts about Trump getting COVID? It means nothing. People were acting like it was some cataclysmic thing, but we've seen how the statistics have played out. It's basically a nursing home disease. A lot of people I know have gotten it, including old people, and it's been literally nothing.
The forced shutdowns were a terrible meme. In the U.S., courts have found that government telling private businesses to shut down and people to wear masks is unconstitutional. If you want to be personally safe and do that kind of stuff, fine, but forced shutdowns are stupid.
Do you think bot-produced political comments on YouTube, Parler, Facebook are prevalent? That's a possibility. But the bigger issue is how these sites change your opinion without notice by subtle changes in the algorithm. YouTube openly says it wants to "de-radicalize" people, which means making them believe what CNN and other cringe sites want them to believe.
It's insane how much Twitter and YouTube have changed in five years. The biggest issue isn't just banning people, but subtle algorithmic manipulation. They redirect viewers from one kind of content to another, and that affects people, especially Redditors, because Redditors make their opinions based on social consensus.
I've noticed more and more that old commenters on my channel just don't comment anymore. Their accounts have been deleted or their posts get deleted. A lot of my comments are curated by YouTube and just deleted. That affects people because if they see the same opinion repeated enough, they start to think it's normal.
There are a bunch of studies and clickbait articles about how easy Reddit is to manipulate. You can farm clicks for just a couple hundred bucks and make things go viral. The usual suspects are doing this kind of stuff all the time.
Could you compile a list of Christian-like books for us normies? Also, what's the best starter book for linguistics, preferably related to the languages of the Bible? I don't really read that much Christian pop stuff. I've read hardcore theology books, but most of the pop Christian stuff isn't for me.
If you're trying to understand Christianity, especially as a Protestant, I would recommend looking at the opposite viewpoint. For example, look at traditionalist Catholic channels and compare them to what you're familiar with. In terms of books, I can't give a specific recommendation.
If you're interested in linguistics, I would start by learning a language like Latin, preferably a highly inflected language. Latin is ideal for an English speaker because the vocabulary is similar enough that you can focus on the grammar. That's how I recommend learning linguistics generally.
How many people do we actually have? We have over a thousand viewers right now. I was going to do a stream with my cousin, but it didn't work out because I didn't know how to navigate YouTube's new controls. She couldn't believe people like that watch me.
I don't like it when people know me from the internet now, because now it's like word on the town that there's this guy who lives here and he's a YouTuber or something. No one really knows what I'm talking about on my channel because I live in Boomerland, USA.
Plans on Lars for the future? I'm not going to change anything big. I'm happy with the way it is. I need to fix some bugs and make things easier for normies. I really need to take a normie I know in real life and teach them how to use it so I can calibrate it based on that.
A lot of people have asked why I don't make an ISO for Lars or make it an installable medium. The real reason is that I don't actually know how to approach it. Making an ISO for a rolling release seems a little tricky, and it might involve a lot more than I think. It would also lower the standard, because a lot of people using it wouldn't know much about computers.
Lars has changed less and less as time has gone on because I think it's closer to the ideal. I'm glad I moved it over to DWM. That was a good thing. It has made things easier.
Is there a good place to consume red-pill content for data science that isn't just going to show colleges and universities as the only career path? I can't think of something off the top of my head. If you're talking about big data and statistical analysis, I think you should probably have a good knowledge of statistics first and then approach it piece by piece.
Academia serially misuses statistics. Even the standard for statistical operations in a lot of fields is just wrong. If you ask a real statistician, they would say it's nonsense. You can listen to my podcast episode on the flaws of academic statistics and the null ritual, or read the book it's based on.
Rationality for Mortals is an excellent book. It's one of the best general reads ever. Each chapter is like a new red pill. It's one of those books where you keep realizing how much of what people call rationality is actually just a bad meme.
Finally, some coldish weather in North Florida. About damn time. I went to my first American football game the other day, and I wore a jacket because it was cool enough for that. I've never been to a poverty ball game, but I did go to my first football game.
What are your thoughts on Wayland and Sway? I don't see any benefits in Wayland. The alleged benefits are so intangible and minor. If you like it, fine, but I just find it an annoyance, especially when you have to run all these programs through compatibility layers.
Is Linux doomed? Should I move to OpenBSD? I haven't moved away from Linux yet, though I've contemplated moving to OpenBSD more and more. The corporate takeover of Linux is very real, and it's something to keep in mind. Linux isn't unusable yet, but I am wary of it.
Do you think bot-produced political comments on YouTube, Parler, Facebook are prevalent? The bigger issue is how these sites manipulate people through algorithms and moderation. They can shape opinion without bots by changing what people see and what gets deleted.
Could you please compile a list of Christian-like books for us normies? Also, best starter book for linguistics, preferably related to languages of the Bible? I don't have a good list of Christian pop books. For linguistics, learning Latin or another highly inflected language is a good start.
I'm going to check the donations list. There might be more super chats, and I might be reading delayed ones. Sorry if I'm giving all your names away. Let me see if there are any recent ones.
Thoughts on national socialism? None that I can say on YouTube. So, one of the podcast episodes I really want to do is a red-pill book everyone should check out. You might think, because of the subject matter, that it's really edgy, but it's actually mainstream academia. There's a book called Race in the Third Reich by Christopher Hutton, I think. I want to say he's an academic, maybe in Hong Kong or something like that. Obviously, Christopher Hutton is a Westerner; I assume he's American. But Race in the Third Reich is one of the most red-pilling books you can read because it goes through the academic literature about what National Socialist Germany actually believed in terms of race, language, culture, and stuff like that. If you just read the introduction, you can look it up on Library Genesis or whatever, and you'll actually learn a lot. I was going to do a podcast episode on this. I might still do it. I might not syndicate it on YouTube because YouTube, but basically it amounts to everything you have been told about what the evil Nazis believed is not just wrong, it's the opposite of the truth. Even in some academic circles, people have been repeating Anglo-American propaganda about it, and a lot of it is the opposite of the truth. So that's a book to check out: Race in the Third Reich by Christopher Hutton. I have it in my library too. If you want to see the books in my library, luke.xyz/library.
All right, let's see. So, that was that. Hey Luke, I'd like to learn Spanish someday and I have no idea where to start. Any suggestions for where I should start? Also, Minecraft stream when haha. So, $5. Thanks from Mr. Buttfatman, I guess it's supposed to be ironically Buttfatman. So, Spanish: I am the worst person to ask about this because by the time I went to college, I knew Latin very, very well. I basically tested into a Spanish class, like Spanish 5 or something like that, just based on my knowledge of Latin, and I sort of learned Spanish by osmosis. So I am not the best person to ask about that because I never really took Spanish classes. I don't know the books people usually use to learn Spanish. I can't vouch for any of them. Now, if you want to ask me about Latin or Chinese, I have strong opinions about those, like what I recommend, but I can't tell you anything about Spanish. Although, if you want to just learn Latin first, that is actually the based and red-pilled thing to do because then learning Spanish is a total breeze.
Any plans to learn a programming language? Learning a based and Chad language like C or C++ can really aid your understanding of how computers work. I mean, I use C all the time because I have to maintain all this suckless garbage. Garbage, not garbage. It's the best software ever. But I mostly use the languages I use because that's what I do on my YouTube channel; most of the videos, if you look at the stuff I do, is literally just shell scripting. And my mindset is usually that most languages that aren't low-level like C don't make that much sense to write in, like Python. I know Python pretty well, but I just prefer shell script. Once you learn shell scripting, it has a different mindset than most programming languages and most scripting languages, but it's just better. I know a little bit of C. I have no reason to learn to program, though. I mean, in terms of developing a full program, I don't know. Well, I guess I have written programs, but not like I'm going to write an operating system, you know what I mean? So I don't really care that much.
Thoughts on CCP? I don't know what CCP is. Is that a meme that I'm missing? Gaia says, "What advice can you give a guy who wants to live your lifestyle but still wants to work around people, isn't that interested in programming, who doesn't at least have a traditional trade?" I mean, a lot of people think that because I live remote, like in the middle of nowhere, that somehow I don't have contact with people or that there are no weird jobs around there. That is not the case. A thousand percent not the case. In fact, I probably see more people living out here than I do anywhere else. So yeah, I work around people. I have worked in larger cities. It's not like you can easily live in a rural place and still have everything that you would have in an urban environment. So don't worry about that. And it's not like you have to be a wage worker. You don't have to be a carpenter to live out in the country. And you don't necessarily have to work online. There are things you can do. So don't worry about it. That's my recommendation, and I know that's a cheap thing to say, like, "Oh yeah, just don't, just be more confident, bro." But that is the actual answer. Once you make the plunge, you just have to motivate yourself to make the plunge.
Wasu says, "Also, I took your Latin pill about a month ago. It is really surprisingly fun to learn." That's right. That's right. We should all use Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata, which is the best Latin book, or well, I would say it's the most entertaining and best Latin book, and it's written all in Latin to learn Latin. It'll work. $2 from Elanar's modern Fortran with OpenMP and MPI is much greater than C++. Okay, I don't know the first thing about Fortran, but I don't know what CCP is. He really doesn't use Paul. What is CCP? Is it Chinese Communist Party? That's the only thing I can think of. Okay, yeah, someone below him says that. Okay, that's what I'm guessing it is. Okay. Thoughts on Mental Outlaw? Why do people keep asking? Mental Outlaw's fine. I mean, he seems pretty based.
Any good book recommendations about getting started in Sanskrit? Also, thoughts on Jordan Peterson and his biblical lectures and views on the psychology of Christianity. I don't consume Jordan Peterson content. He's sort of below my pay grade. I mean, I've always been baster and red-piller than him, so I've never found a draw to him. I know that a lot of people get a lot of stuff out of him. I just don't. So I'm saying this reservedly because there are some things he says that I think are sort of cringe. I don't know specifically about the stuff he does. I know that he's not a Christian, but he's one of these, like, "Christianity is archetypally important" and stuff like that. But I don't know anything about that. As for good recommendations on getting started in Sanskrit, once again, I feel like I have to recommend this page a million times, but luke.xyz/library. There is a book called Devani Pravesa. Let me actually make sure that it's in my library. I'm going to my website right now just to check. Devani Pravesa is an excellent book for learning Sanskrit. If you go to my Oriental, Indo-Iranian, East Asian, and Oceanic languages section, it is by Southerntherland Goldman. That is a good book for learning Sanskrit. Excellent book. The best one I've seen. And I remember the Library of Congress code for it is PK666. That's the only code I actually remember for any book, but it's easy to remember.
Thoughts on neoclassical economics? Cringe. Equally cringe as Keynesian economics, of course. I mean, they're basically the same thing. This whole mainstream economics thing always convinces itself that there's saltwater and freshwater economics, but if you actually look at the polls of what economists believe, they're all the same. They all believe the same thing. Some of them are Republicans, some of them are Democrats, and they pretend to be different, but they really believe all the same stuff. That's why mainstream economics is whatever. Who cares?
But he's black. Mental Outlaw. Yeah, he is. Mental Outlaw is a deep fake. I could see him as being a deep fake. He does sort of look like a deep fake. And I will say, before he did his face reveal where he showed himself as not just a black guy, but a black guy who wears a tank top, which of course we can all pretend we were expecting, I always imagined him as this chunky, of course, white guy. Because I don't know, his voice sounds chunky, like he'd be a little chunky, but no, it's just, you know, black guys have deeper voices. I think that's what it actually was.
Let's see. Okay. Why? My little chat window is messing up. So I'm going to have to go back to the Streamlabs thingy to look at donations. Hurry on up. Okay. Okay. No new super chats since then. What do you think about accelerationism? Okay, this is a good topic. Well, it depends on what accelerationism you're talking about. I think there's the Nick Land accelerationism, which is technological accelerationism, but there's also this accelerationism of, this is actually the most cucked view of politics there is. I have to say, and I say this as someone who in the past, before I had an internet presence, would be like, "Oh yeah, acceleration." That's the best thing you could do. But accelerationism is extremely cucked. Because here's what it is: it basically is, I have totally given up. I have no agency over my life or over anyone else's. I don't want to affect politics. I don't think I can do anything, and I've totally convinced myself that I can't even move to the woods and live independently. Instead, what I'm going to do is try to make the world worse. I'm going to vote for bad candidates. I'm going to do everything to make things worse. And then if things get worse, accelerationism is like the buffer overflow argument of politics. It's, "Oh, if I make things so bad, then things will get better." Like, "Oh, if I endorse child [unclear: h__h] on TV and stuff like that, eventually people will get sick of it and the pendulum will swing the other way." And that's just not how it works. It is easy to get people to believe new and terrible stuff. The media does it all the time. So don't ever believe this accelerationist garbage. It's just a cope. Accelerationism is just this thing that guys do to feel superior about giving up on their life. Even if you give up on politics, even if you don't see a political solution, you can at least make obvious changes in your life to make it better. For example, moving out of the city. If this election happens and you're still in a city after it happens, after you know what's going to happen afterwards, I don't know what's wrong with you. Get out of the cities now. So yeah, accelerationism is big cringe. Big, big cringe. That's what I think.
I think my earlier question got cut off. What are your ideas and resources on learning Mandarin and Cantonese? Look up the John DeFrancis series if you want to learn Chinese. That's D-E-F-R-A-N-C-I-S. It's also the Yale series. Here's the deal: there are two series of the books. Sorry, I got a burp. Because learning Chinese is really learning two things. You have to learn the character system, which has its own logic, and you have to learn the actual language, the spoken language. It has its own logic. So what the DeFrancis series does is they have green books, and the green books are all spoken Chinese. There are no characters inside. It's all pinyin transliteration. And they teach you so effectively. All the exercises they include are enough for if you use it yourself alone, it will still be good. And there's actually audio tapes that you can get, and now you can get them for free. They used to sell them. You can get them for free, although I think you have to get them off iTunes. I remember one time I had to go on a normie's computer to get iTunes and download these things because I think you can't get them off iTunes, but they are still free. You can at least get them. And they have all the audio for them. So that's the green books, and they're just called generic names like Beginning Chinese, Intermediate Chinese, Advanced Chinese. And then they have the red books, which are on characters. What they do is every chapter they introduce five Chinese characters. And of course with five characters you might get like 50 words because they can all be combined in different ways, right? So they keep you at this really small number of characters per lesson and then you move up, and it's fantastic. They're just fantastic. Either of the series, you should do both of them. They're sort of independent of each other, but they're both the perfect way. The green book is perfect for learning spoken Chinese and the red book is perfect for learning characters. So yes, the DeFrancis series, whatever they call it, the Yale series. Yale is the company that published it.
I'm going to have to reload my little chat window here because it's sort of messing up. Let's see here. All right. So that's that. So I feel like I need to do videos on it. It seems like every single livestream people ask me what to use to learn Chinese, what do you use to learn Latin, blah blah blah. I should just do a video on these. That would be a smart thing to do. If I were a smart person, I would have done that.
Please repeat Latin book title. Want to buy $2 from a bra? Okay, just go to my website lukemith.xyz/library and you can also go to lukemith.xyz/donate, but in lukemith.xyz/library there is a book called Lingua Latina by Hans Orberg. That is the title of it. Lingua Latina is the first in the series and then Roma Itera is the second in the series. Okay. Lingua Latina, or sometimes it's abbreviated Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata, so sometimes it's abbreviated LLPSI. So I need to just, yeah.
Let me get back to live chat. Which TB book do you recommend to read first? The one that I first read, I guess, is The Black Swan. Actually, there's a story. You guys know I like Taleb stuff. I will say he's been a little cringe recently, like the stuff he's been saying, but I like his stuff. I first read it back when I was an economics major in college. This is when I was actually in China and I didn't have many books. Believe it or not, I actually had an e-reader or some kind of tablet. I would never have something like that nowadays, but I had a tablet, and one of the books I got on it was The Black Swan. Of course I downloaded it for free. I was never dumb enough to buy a book. Well, I got an electronic book. Why would you do that? Yeah, if it's electronic, it should be free. So I got The Black Swan. And I remember as an econ major, econ majors always have a chip on their shoulder. They always have this feeling of inadequacy. That's my vision. And I probably had it less than other econ majors. Actually, maybe I had it more because I was more aware that economics is basically a pseudoscience. Most sciences are pseudosciences, frankly, because they're all using statistics incorrectly. They're all doing really basic stuff wrong. But I always had this felt inadequacy about economics, and I remember reading The Black Swan because I'd heard it was based and red-pilled, but I just remember feeling so defensive the whole time I read it. I was like, "Oh man, this guy's going to own me epic style because he's talking about how fake and gay economics is." But I remember reading that and thinking, "Oh yeah, this guy knows what he's talking about." And I remember reading Antifragile when it came out, and that was the book that really hooked me in. I was like, "Oh yeah, this guy does know what he's talking about." When I read Antifragile, I was recommending it to everyone I knew because I thought, "Yeah, this is good." Skin in the Game is pretty good too. It was nothing I wasn't expecting. But yeah, Antifragile was the book for me that made it click. You might want to go back and read his early stuff, maybe in order. His first one, I didn't read until later. What was it called? Fooled by Randomness. That's a good one too. I mean, they're all good. I have not read his book of proverbs, though, which he did put out.
Saw in your reading list you read Socialism: Utopian and Scientific. Any thoughts on it? Has your dislike of corporations ever made you consider Marxism? No. No, because that's a false equivalency. I mean, listen kids, there's this false equivalency between communism and what communists call capitalism. So capitalism is a fake word. It doesn't correspond to anything in real life, well, sort of. It does correspond to something historically if you want to define capitalism as the demise of aristocratic Europe, the loss of class privilege, and now everything is mediated by money. If you want to call that capitalism, fine. But the whole idea of capitalism being on one side and then socialism or communism being on the other, that's a stupid distinction. If there's one thing I agree with Marx on, it's that the insight that capitalism is just a step onto socialism is the correct way to look at it. Because now, obviously for him it's a good step; capitalism is an advancement from the society before it and socialism is an advancement from that. But I look at it the exact opposite way. Once you have diminished life to the extent where you are mediating everything through money and nothing has value that has no money, like culture, race, language, these things don't matter because they can't be monetized and everything is gauged in terms of, "Oh, this thing we can model economically so we need to make sure it's optimally efficient and ignore all variables we can't model." That's basically the capitalist, quote-unquote, mindset, or at least of classical economics, right? And once you get to that step, socialism is just something that, I mean, it's just like, okay, well let's use that for our own benefit. Let's use that for our own benefit, quote-unquote. It's just the same thing. Capitalism and socialism, one comes with the other. Whereas I'm not even a third-positionist. I know that's a meme. I'm really pre-capitalist. That's really what I am. And of course I'm not against currency per se. But if everything is being monetized, it's not a good thing. I'll actually use a Taleb point: his thing is that a sane society is a socialist society at the family level. At the local level, it's sort of authoritarian communist in the family level and everyone's taken care of. It's a little socialist on the extended family level. As you get to people who are a little further away, it's more conservative. And then the ideal large-scale government is that there shouldn't be a large-scale government. The less of it, the better. The only reason we would ever need a large-scale government is to resist the dangers of other large-scale governments. Human organization after a certain level is going to be degenerate by definition. So it's something we have to view as a kind of pollution, frankly. So capitalism and socialism are dumb, dumb terms.
How do you manage your time and do Linux stuff and read? I want some help. Any advice for uni students who want more time for reading? I don't actually read that much. People have this idea because I have a lot of books and a lot of things to say about the books I've read that I just read all the time. I don't. It's more an issue of cutting out junk books because there are a lot of boomers out there who just read novels and silly stuff and read what the New York Times recommends or something like that. You just have to gain a taste for what is a shill book and what is a book actually worth reading. That's more of the issue. Luke, is college worth it? No. I'm surprised anyone had to ask that. Luke, libertarianism failed with Ron Paul's campaign. I'm not a libertarian.
All right, I'm going to check my email for donations. Got a couple emails. Let's see. Oh yeah, these might just be Streamlabs donations going through. Yan, $2: thoughts about Daoism. None in particular. Hold on, let me look at some Daoism. I mean, I guess I've written on it. I guess it's known. Daoism. I don't know. I don't have that much to say about it. I feel like I went on a speech to someone in real life about Daoism the other day though, probably some autistic speech. But yeah, no, I mean I've written about it. I'm not that interested in it. In terms of Chinese philosophy, if you wanted to pigeonhole me with one, I would probably identify with Daoism the most because it's sort of equivalent to concepts like natural law in Western ideas, or well, natural law, I guess it's partially natural law. It's more like emergent order. That's one of the ideas behind Daoism: that there's a solvency to the universe that is beyond human direct understanding. That's one. And of course that's a political philosophy. It's a kind of, I guess, libertarianism. Again, I don't like using words like libertarianism or any political terms because I know there are people who are programmed about these words. They react to them in particular ways instead of how you mean them. I remember last time I was doing a livestream in a hotel, we talked about how normies look at politics. This is how every single normie thinks about politics: they don't sit down and rationally decide stuff. They might think they're doing that. They don't even necessarily rely on their intuition. But if you are a well-brainwashed normie, there are terms that you know that you don't like. There are terms that the media has programmed you not to like. Trying to think what, you know, racist, something like that, or white supremacists, or if you're a boomer conservative, socialism or something like that. These terms people don't like. So basically all of these terms are just like you associate them with bad psychological feelings, and then all of political thinking for normies is just taking other things and analogizing them against these terms they've been programmed against. "Oh, that's socialism. We can't do it. Oh, that's racist. We can't do it." So it's a way of taking otherwise totally sensible things or policy positions or just obvious facts of life and lobotomizing them out of people's brains. It's a very clever way to do that. That's ultimately how it works. And most normies are word-association machines. They're just like, "Oh, here's a word I'm supposed to like. Here's a word I'm not supposed to like. Oh, let me..." And they're bouncing off of these words. And that's what they think of as rational politics. And I know because when I was a kid, that's more or less how I thought. And when you look at normies, you realize this is how they're thinking. They're really just running away from words they're programmed against. And that's it. They don't have any real thought at all. The only thing that matters is, am I running away from the scary word and am I running to the word that I'm supposed to like? That's all it is.
Let's see here. Super chats. Check them. Maybe I'll check the normal. Who will win the election? Luke, I don't know. It hasn't happened yet.
Ryan Platt, $2: "Where does free will end and fake choice start?"
Well, it depends on what you mean by free will. You can have free will and end up putting yourself in a place you can't get out of. And that's the important thing: where does it take you? If your free will is taking you to a place that makes you more and more incapable of talking to people, incapable of functioning outside of the system, incapable of doing basic things and taking care of yourself and other people, then your free will is leading you in a bad position. So there are two ways of rectifying that. One is you have to make different decisions, which might be hard to do. The other is something we can't actually do individually, but the ideal would be keeping people from making bad decisions.
So, if we're talking about pornography, making it hard to get pornography because it's illegal or something like that. Your free will can go in any direction. It's not an issue of free will, but there's a point where you get addicted to all of these vices and your free will dissipates because you don't have any other choices. You're trapped. You can't do anything else. That's the issue. You watch so much pornography that you can't interact with humans, especially women, or you're just stuck to your computer screen all day. You use drugs and spend all this money that you could be using on something else. You spend all this time on video games and stuff like that and you realize you don't have freedom in your life. You're making decisions that rob you of every other decision you could be making. So, sure, that's free will. But now you have nothing.
And that again is what they want. They want you to be not just complacent, they want you to be impotent. That is the goal: to make it so people are passively consuming the world outside. They're being told, they're being programmed against whatever words they're supposed to be programmed. So when they go and vote, they'll vote for the right person. And aside from that, they are just being fed what they're supposed to believe, fed what they're supposed to consume, stuff like that. And you don't have freedom, even if obviously you have been making free decisions to get to the point where you are. But you might find yourself where you don't have any freedom. So that's the issue.
Seven, $5: "Thanks for making videos. So cathartic to have a public voice of reason in this age. I wish you the best. Would you use OpenBSD?"
I've thought about using OpenBSD all the time, but I've had no real impetus to switch over. I know it's going to be sort of a pain to switch over. Most of it is similar, but I'm sure there are programs I use that don't run exactly the same and scripts I have to convert over because the core utils are different. So it comes with cost and it doesn't come with much benefit. I guess the only actual personal benefit would be, "Oh, I can do a video on it." That would be cool. Maybe that's what I should do, because there really is only one other guy on YouTube I know who does BSD stuff. I could market OpenBSD as the base of the Redfield operating system and put out a LAR ISO for that. Then I wouldn't have to worry about Linux. I could just feel superior to all the other Linux channels. That's an option. But I never really felt I had a reason to switch. If I did switch to BSD, it would be OpenBSD. Sometimes people ask about FreeBSD, but it would be OpenBSD if I moved over.
I think the cathedral is generally pretty accurate. A lot of people consume that content, and I remember years ago there was a poll of people in the dark enlightenment. Pretty much everyone had gone to graduate school. I think there's something to that, because it wasn't until I was in graduate school that I realized how systematic it is. Even in some departments, like when I was at Arizona, it was like walking into a cult. You wouldn't think the University of Arizona linguistics department is a weird cult, but it basically was when I went there. This was at a time where everyone was on edge because it was back when Trump was running in 2015 and 2016. You just sort of see how organized and implicit it is.
There are actually a lot of academics who still think of themselves as free speech people. They don't really see the world outside of where they are. I think they just sort of take extreme leftist politics as indisputably what we have to enforce. They'll pretend, "Everyone has their right to their opinions, but we're going to have to do this." But in terms of the power structure of the cathedral, not just universities but NGOs and stuff like that, it should be pretty obvious that's the way it is. Even nihilistic boomers who think they're intelligent for saying something like "neither political party works" implicitly realize that governance in any government that calls itself a democracy is fundamentally by the permanent bureaucracy. That's the people who run it. It's the NGOs, it's the people who have permanent employment.
They can be inconvenienced if Donald Trump gets elected, but the system continues as planned. In fact, if you look at how things have changed since Trump was elected, the cathedral has drastically accelerated how they regulate speech. Twitter and YouTube have changed over the past couple of years, and now every single thing is monitored and shifted in the direction they want. Before Trump was elected, they never really felt like they had to do that. They thought, "It'll be a free platform and we'll win because we're right." Except they realized that's not the case. So now you have the system filtered through these NGOs funded by all the usual suspects, and universities governed by extreme social consensus. They have all sort of put their paws all over Silicon Valley, and most of the people in Silicon Valley are very willing to agree with them.
It's worrisome. Even me being in graduate school and seeing how things work, how money moves through the system, it's a real thing. That's worrisome because electing the right people isn't necessarily going to fix the issue. The real solution might come in people not going to college anymore, people totally tuning out of the media, people getting out of YouTube and all these other major sites. That's why I endorse all of these things. I always tell people don't go to college. It's not just bad for you, it's bad for everyone else. Don't totally drop off from social media. I have made a lot of strides to make my videos independent of YouTube and everything else, even though YouTube is still the platform people come to. In every domain, minimize the hold they have over you. That's all I can say.
There are some particular things I can disagree with Moldbug on, or Curtis Yarvin, whatever you want to call him, but of course his general analysis is right. It's hard to dispute it.
Yan, $2: "Define a normie from your point of view please."
It depends on the domain. In tech, you know them when you see them, and everyone has a little bit of normie in them. No one is totally normie, right? Or maybe there are total normies, I don't know. But you know what a normie is.
Let me check the super chat list and donations list. I wonder how long I've been going. I'm not too tired. We still got 1,000 viewers. I don't know if it's gone up or down, but it looks like it's been at 1,000 for a while. I got a couple more emails. Let me look at those.
I think these are just no comments. A lot of people are sending little $2 donations or something, but multiple of them. If you're going to send multiple donations, just send them as one donation. Because what happens if you send $2 or something like that? Since it's such a low amount, 25% of it gets cut off. Whereas if you send it all as one lump sum, a smaller percentage of that gets cut off. Anyway, the preferable way to donate is Zelle or any of that other kind of stuff.
If you Americans don't know, you can just go to lukemith.xyz/donate and I think I have a little write-up on it. Most banks in America allow you to transfer money directly to another account by email. You can use that to send a donation. That's actually my preferred way because they don't take money off of you. It doesn't look like anyone has sent any in, or it might be delayed a little bit. Anyway, super chats.
Izzy, CA$25: "Legend."
Thank you, Izzy.
Pseudovirus: "Are you an anarcho-primitivist?"
I'm not a word thinker. I don't identify with political labels. It's extremely degenerate to identify with political labels.
Luke, what are your thoughts on super chats?
You can do them, but YouTube's taking a cut. That's all I say. I'm getting most of it, but YouTube is taking a cut. And if you want to donate, luke.xyz/donate. There are other ways of doing it there.
People are asking the same questions over and over again.
Thoughts on Frederick Hayek?
Here's my hot take. I've given this one before, but I'll give it to you again. Frederick Hayek is more based and redpilled than Murray Rothbard. Maybe I'll go into why later.
Thoughts on Sam Harris?
He's basically a Redditor. That's what I think about him. I shouldn't lord over him. I know I started this stream saying to be nice to people, so no opinions on Sam Harris, but I'm very suspicious of him.
Could you make more videos on self-hosting?
I might. There's one I definitely want to make, because one thing I left out is how I actually configure my website. I told you, "Go log into the server and you can edit your website," but I don't actually do that. I actually have an offline repository of my website and then I rsync it up. So I want to do a video on rsync, because rsync is basically this command-line protocol to synchronize files with servers and stuff like that. It's basically like copy, except it works across computers. It's a nice thing.
When's the next podcast episode?
That is the question. I feel so bad because the podcast is the only good part of my channel. I don't want to say it's the only good part of my channel, but I have always liked it. I have so many great ideas for what I'm going to do, but it's just hard getting motivated to do it, and I'm the kind of person who has to have inspiration to do it. I've actually recorded half of an episode months ago and didn't put it up because I had audio trouble and I was also like, "There are a couple things I want to add in." The episode was actually going to be about the life and times of George Soros, which sounds like a review of Popper's Open Society and Its Enemies, which was a big inspiration on George Soros. Then I was going to do some of his books, basically his worldview: where does it come from, how is it a response to Popper's view?
Of course, you might know that George Soros's organization is called the Open Society Foundation, based on Open Society and Its Enemies by Karl Popper. So fundamental to Soros's way of looking at things is the Popperian idea of an open society. It was interesting that Popper's open society is sort of like liberalism or libertarianism with democracy. That's basically what Popper was. He was a big cuck on democracy. He has a big bunch of boomer takes about that. But George Soros sort of took it. His views are a response to that. Really, George Soros, ironically enough, even though he has the Open Society Foundation, there are many senses in which he rejects the idea of an open society. I'll save it for the podcast episode.
Alexi, €2: "You're my father, my YouTube father figure. Love all, Alex."
Thank you.
Nick, $5: "Thoughts on GEB?"
I have the book. For those who don't know, GEB is a book that is very hard to explain. If you had to ask me what GEB is about, it's supposed to be about an explanation of where consciousness comes from. But it's really just Douglas Hofstadter saying random stuff and being quirky and making silly jokes for a full book. I guess it's an entertaining read. It talks about consciousness and some things that we can know about it. I guess it's one of those books that maybe you want to read because it's an interesting book to read. I cannot tell you I got that much insight from it. It's sort of like reading the funny papers, or like a giant fun fact section. It's more rigorous than that. It talks about a lot of important concepts, mostly recursion. A lot of computer science people actually read that during their degrees. That has become a meme. But it's not really a computer science book, although you will learn computer science and stuff. It's hard to explain.
F Yuri 5B: "What books would you recommend to redpill me? I'm a trainer and an ML. I find your ideas interesting despite not always agreeing."
It depends on the individual. A lot of books that originally redpilled me, I look back at them now and I'm like, "Oh, they were so basic." One example I usually use is The Blank Slate by Steven Pinker. Steven Pinker is so basic now. He's cringe and bluepilled, but at the time when I read that book, it was basically a red pill book. A lot of liberals sort of know this now. The Blank Slate is against the idea that people are born without natural predispositions. He talks about a lot of the biological differences between people and how they affect your psychology and how they differ by gender and different things.
For a lot of people, that was the first red pill book they read, even though I don't even like Steven Pinker. I think basically everything else he's written is bad. The Blank Slate is actually pretty good because of some of the stuff it touches on. It was one of the few books where I thought, "I could read more of this. I wish there were more." He even drops hints like, "I could have written chapters on this and that, but I didn't do it." For different people you'll need different things. A lot of it is life experience too. When you're younger, when you're a teenager, when you're in your early 20s, when you're at college or something like that, there's a sense in which you're more...
What the problem was, it was not actually the bandwidth, it was actually my CPU. The internet was going through fine, but I was recording and encoding the video at the same time and it got to the point where I was using all my cores. It couldn't record it and then send the recording up at the same time. Anyway, let's see how many we lost. It says only 631 watching now, so we lost like 400.
Thoughts on Douglas Murray and Chris Hedges? I don't know who Douglas Murray is. If he's anything like Chris Hedges, I'm going to say cringe. Chris Hedges is the guy I think you're talking about. He's some kind of journalist, but he's cringe. So Douglas Murray, I'm going to guess is cringe too.
It's not the internet. It was my CPU. I need to see that has never happened. I've always streamed on this computer and I've streamed for like 3 hours or so in one sitting. I don't think we've been going for three hours. We might have been going for like two hours. I probably just need to redo thermal paste or something. Does that speed your processor up? I'm going to guess.
I actually had to fix a friend's computer the other day. Her desktop Wi-Fi adapter broke and I had to use one I'd harvested from another computer. Whenever I have a computer, or whenever someone asks me to get the stuff off the hard drive, I'll do that for them and then they'll let me keep the computer, which I usually throw away, but I harvest the hard drive, the memory sticks, and the Wi-Fi adapters. Thankfully, I had saved one of these and I could use it in her desktop. I've never heard of a Wi-Fi adapter just collapsing, but that's what happened to hers.
So I'm going to pull back up the chat. It would be nice if I could actually see whether people are chatting and whether stuff is going on. Let me check my processor usage. It's big, but I don't think it's quite as bad as before because I was on all four cores.
Yan sends in $25. Sorry, I will stop. Have a good one, Boomer. So, thanks for 25 bucks and the previous donations. Justin Irving sends in 10 bucks. I don't think there's a comment on that, but thank you.
We're going up a little bit, but we've lost some of our viewers. This is going to be the portion for the more elite viewers. I guess this is also the first stream I've done since I've had 100,000 subscribers. I guess that is the case too. Who cares?
I did that video a couple days ago when I was talking about hitting 100,000 subscribers and then I was complaining about crummy Indian videos on YouTube, so I got so many butt-hurt Indian comments. It was just like, "Oh dude, it's a joke." I don't want to call people spurs, but anyway, Indian videos on YouTube are totally devoid of content. I've yet to see a good Indian tech tutorial. It's not even about the microphones or the accents. It's about the content. That's just how it is.
Daniel, $5: "You should look into permaculture as a podcast idea. I have a playlist of random videos I made a while back on my channel. Link on here is blocked."
I might look at that. There is one kind of farming, sort of more like a traditional folklore episode that I want to do of my podcast.
wow wow, £5: "Lots of love from Albion. Hope you have your track and trace app installed. Don't want to give boomers woo flu."
The Uni Boomer is 100% correct. The whole "it's a deadly virus" thing is big cringe. Sorry, Twitter liberals.
guy who games a lot, $5: "Do you think the government should use coercion of force to enforce morality, eg drugs, prostitution?"
Are you saying that drugs and prostitution are morality? I'm not quite sure. No, of course that stuff should be illegal. Libertarians will make all these hackneyed explanations of how either if they're bad, people won't do them, or if people do them, they're somehow magically good. That's stupid. I don't have any libertarian pretension, so I'm not going to pretend that pornography has contributed to the world because it hasn't. It's literally been nothing but harm. I don't think there's anyone in the universe who even pretends otherwise, although I'm sure there are people who do. Most people, even those who watch pornography, know it's a terrible habit that's destroying them.
It's not even about government coercion. Those are masturbatory terms. You just have to make it illegal to have a website like that. Shut them down. If they shut down pornography in the same way that they shut down political speech, we wouldn't have to worry about it. It'd be over. There'd be no pornography. Pornography is utter cringe, and it's also used to control you because it's free. Hollywood will make all these rationalizations for why they have to have obscene copyright law and massive subsidies for art, but then why doesn't that apply to porn? Because they want you cumming. They want you watching movies, but cumming is a much more personal thing that you'd be ashamed to spend money on.
Porn controls in the same way I mentioned: it is one of those things that is perfectly designed to manipulate human psychology. People who watch it spend more and more of their time engrossed in it. There are propagandistic messages in it, but it is just another thing that literally drains the testosterone out of you and you sit watching something that ultimately takes away your freedom. You lose motivation. You lose the ability to interact with people gradually. You get nothing out of it. I think even most people who use it live as if they're like, "Okay, I know this is bad, but I'm addicted." The whole idea of, "Oh no, I just can't control myself," is such a cope. Yes, you can control yourself. It's your responsibility to control yourself. You can do it. Anyone can. I've watched porn years ago and I literally just quit it cold turkey. It was that easy. It's not hard.
Will William, $25: "..."
Thank you.
Are you asexual?
The fact that you ask that is ridiculous. If you watch porn, you're asexual. That's what asexuality should mean. There's no such thing as no sexual feelings. That doesn't exist. People claim that mostly because men will say, "I'm a little autistic and I'm awkward around girls and I don't want to admit that I can't get them." Or girls will say, "I just want guys to go away because I had bad experiences." But the whole idea that people don't have sexual impulses is cringe.
German Shepherd, $5: "Was Germany the last nation to save us from globalization?"
They're certainly screwing us over now. No one has saved us from anything so far.
Thoughts on Hans-Hermann Hoppe?
I've read Democracy: The God That Failed, which is an all right book. It's a very Austrian book. It would probably not make any sense to anyone who doesn't know anything about Austrian economics because it's written in that style. It's pretty hard to explain. There is no one book someone needs to write about why democracy is bad and explain it in dumb people terms. But all the books written about it are just really obscure or sort of autistic libertarian stuff.
Can you be happy with a simple and redpilled life when modernity has set the standard to constant consumerism and bluepilled metropolitan droning?
Just don't live there. You can live a traditional life. You can go back in time. It's called moving into the country. There are things you have to think about, but this whole accelerationist "the world is over so we might as well make it worse" thing is just a cope for people who feel like they can't affect their life. The reason they feel like that is because they live in cities and they're plugged into the system. Once you get out of that, you realize, "Oh, I can move into the country and be in a place where no one's going to come and get me, or it's not worth it, or I can live independently." Even if Biden gets elected, it's not going to be the end of the world.
Thoughts on the intellectual dark web?
It's utter cringe. It's just like the Reddit version of being redpilled, but for Redditors. I shouldn't be lording over Redditors. That's a Reddit thing to do. You always want to talk about how superior you are to Redditors, but that's what Redditors do. So I don't know. No, intellectual dark web, all of those people, they're just boomers. That's like Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris. They're cringe. They have no hot takes and they will actively undermine and fight against anyone who does have hot takes, who does have anything interesting to say. I'm sure they are redpilling to someone, but I'm not interested in them.
Gez Louise: "Any thoughts on Var's criticisms towards Christianity?"
Var's internet paganism is just made up. I like Var. I like his lifestyle. I like most of the things he says, but he has this weird modernist view of paganism as some kind of shorthand for hidden secret scientific knowledge, all of which is about the placenta. He has made up his own religion based on paganistic themes that has nothing to do with pagan practice. His criticism of Christianity amounts to, "It's Jewish," or "It's cringe," or "It's cuckolded," which I understand, but Christianity as being Jewish and alien to the intellectual cultures of Europe is sort of weird and ahistorical.
Yes, Christianity has the Old Testament and the idea that the Messiah comes from the Jewish lineage, but people earlier in time looked at it as there being the old covenant for the Jews and also the old covenant for the Greeks. There was specific philosophical knowledge that God had endowed the Greeks with that prepared them for ideas like the Trinity and theological concepts. In fact, all of these things are sort of built into the Greek worldview. Christian theology is Greek. There's some Roman stuff as well. In the Renaissance or earlier, people had the idea that God had a covenant with the Romans too, that the Romans had a destiny to rule during that period where Jesus the Messiah would come and spread over the Roman Empire.
Var and these other anti-Christians have the idea that Christianity is something totally alien because Jesus was a Jew. The silliest thing is saying Christianity is a type of Judaism. In reality, if you look at historical analysis, the reason the New Testament was written is to explain to people how Christianity exists, how Jesus was a Jewish person who was the Messiah despite the fact that basically no Christians were Jews. The Acts of the Apostles is basically the story of Jews rejecting Christianity and why the Gentiles became worthy of it rather than the Jews. Modern Jews define themselves as being opposed to Christianity. If you want evidence of this, compare Var's paganism and Christianity and see which Jews hate. Jews don't care about Var's paganism. It's a larp. It's not a real thing. Whereas Christianity represents every... it quite literally is a subversion of Judaism if you want to think of it that way. That's how they think of it.
Super Duper: "Moldbug did a pretty good job of explaining why democracy is bad."
I said for normies. Moldbug is not for normies. Moldbug is for galaxy brains. If you want to know if you're a brainlet or not, read Moldbug. If it makes sense to you, congratulations. Some of Moldbug's stuff is just hard to get into. He has that kind of Nietzschean style of writing where he beats around the bush. He's very poetic in the way he describes certain things, which in many ways is more communicative, but if you're a literalistic kind of Redditor thinker, that's very difficult for you to understand. So Moldbug is not accessible to people who are not super... I think he said very true things about democracy and very accurate critiques.
How's the CPU doing? People are saying that it's loading slowly, but it doesn't look like it's buffering or anything. A couple people in the chat are complaining about it being a little low.
Some Korean name, $5: "Thoughts on traditional school, Evelyn and Ghanon, and their criticism of Christianity?"
I've only read a little bit of Evola and I don't really feel he was that critical of Christianity. Maybe I'm missing something.
Okay. Let me check my email. Got to pull it up every two seconds to check for donations. Nope. No emails. All right. I might bring it to a close. I may be doing streams possibly, maybe Tuesday night. I might be recording some videos. September, I did not put up a single video, and I just wanted to see how low my YouTube revenue could get. I remember when I first monetized my channel, I always felt guilty about monetizing. Eventually I asked people what they wanted, and the vast majority said yes, so I did it.
I remember when I first got monetized, I was looking at my income and thinking, "Whoa, if I made a video every day, I could make like $300 a month." Now if I made $300 a month just off YouTube, I would want to kill myself. I also remember the first month that I ever made more than $1,000 online. That was January of 2019. I was like, "Dude, I just made $1,000 online. I could maybe support myself in a cabin living on $1,000 a month." Now I make comfortably more than that. I don't get rich on YouTube. If I put up a lot of videos, I'll make money. I get some Brave bucks, people donate, and sometimes people are very generous with donations. The biggest donation I've ever gotten is $1,000. If I were a girl on Twitch with big boobs, I'd have like $40,000.
Why do people ask the exact same questions for the entire stream? Maybe they just want me to see them. At this point I'm looking at the normal chat, but usually I just don't have any time to look at normal chat. You just have to use super chat to be honest. I'll try and read some normal chats.
I'm getting a little tired. It's almost 10:00. I have to do my evening prayers and then go to bed. Tomorrow I have somewhere I have to be by around 5:00 p.m., but before then I have to drive a couple hours and I don't really know what to do in the meantime. If you live in the southeast and you have friends that watch the channel, I might consider having meetups at some point. If you have a Luke Smith club somewhere around, you can contact me. Next time I do a little tour like I'm doing now, I might come and see people in real life.
When's the stream with your cousin Luke?
I don't know. I'll talk to her. She's getting our house remodeled, so I don't know if we could do it there. Maybe we could. That would be funny, actually. They were going to do something for my birthday later, maybe next week or something. My birthday passed earlier this week. I'll do some kind of stream again in two days or so, and it'll be another one probably in a hotel. It might be at a relative's house. We'll see.
I'm going to do a last check of donations and then that'll be it. Are people literally just posting the same questions over and over and over in the chat? I wish there was a way to stop that because it honestly annoys me to no end. I think also, right now I'm looking at the normal chat, but usually I just don't have any time to look at normal chat. So you just have to use super chat to be honest.
Okay. No other super chats recently. So I will close it on out and I'll see you guys next time. Remember, don't be like a Redditor. Don't lord over people who are your inferiors. Keep your cards close. Don't try and be arrogant. All right, that's about it. See you guys next time.
