Is that loud? Is the desktop audio pretty loud? Let me turn this down a little bit. All right. How's everyone going? Can you hear me? Actually, I'm not even going to ask. I know it's a recurring meme that doesn't work.

Yeah, that's what it's going to look like when Yang is president. You're just going to sit there eating your Chick-fil-A playing WoW with your Monster Energy. Actually, you can't even see that because my face is in the way, but it's definitely a Monster Energy. So, this stream I wanted to do for two main reasons, I guess. One is, let me turn a little bit. One is of course you got to do a me a stream on the Yang memes. So we'll talk about those, talk about the deep societal implications of those as we go on. But I also promised a while ago to do a website building stream, which I actually did do, but that ended up not going up and that's for different reasons. We made a uniboomer website, but in this episode, in this stream, we're going to make a Yang Gang website. So anyway, let me get my stuff together. I probably should have prepped before I started, but we'll go ahead and get going.

So I asked for a lot of people to send in Yang Bang Yang Gang memes, which I have quite a good deal of them. So I'm going to be going through them in this video and reading donations or whatever else. So I've already reserved, let me get rid of this thing. I've already reserved Yang Gang US. As you can see, there's nothing really on it. So we're going to add some memes, most of which you guys have sent in or that I found. So, if you don't know, maybe we should explain what the Yang Gang meme actually is for those who have been lost, I guess, recently. So, if you don't know, people have been very angry with Orange Man. And when I say Orange Man, I really mean the people who support Orange Man. So, Blump is finished, or at least that's what we're saying now. And so we're looking for some new presidential candidate to support. And so Andrew Yang, I think I have his website pulled up somewhere. I think it's there. Yeah. So his platform is what Redditors will call universal basic income, but really is just him giving $1,000 to literally everyone in America every month. Literally free money, abandoning all pretenses. And that's what we're about on this channel. No pretenses. If you want to bribe the public, do it directly.

So, anyway, there are different reasons Yang Gang memes have become so popular recently. It's really just blown up in the past couple days. It's really weird. I don't think I knew about the guy before a couple weeks ago. But just this some random guy who might run for president, but now they've really blown up. And of course, even Andrew Yang is very upset with him because evil internet racists, of course, who control memes as we all know, are making memes about his campaign and how great it is because when it comes down to it, Andrew Yang is literally basically just a modern-day Huey Long and you know what they said about Huey Long. So anyway, we'll go ahead and get into some of the memes you guys sent in.

Anyway, so here, well here's our website which I was really just junking around with. It's supposed to, I think I'm going of course for the '90s aesthetic of a sort of crappy website, simple design. As you can see there are vaguely American colors, something like that and a black background. So I'll be playing around with this. And I have lots and lots of memes. Let me actually go ahead. Actually, I'm not quite sure how many I have. And this is a GitLab site, by the way, if you don't know. Got craploads of memes. Well, not that many, but how many is that? 48. So, we'll see. I think that's about enough for a website with a couple memes. I might, you know, I was thinking about just making like a sort of database for them, just keeping memes all together, but that's too autistic. We're just going to make a plain HTML site.

So anyway, actually looks like some people already put in some super chats, so maybe I should go ahead and read those out. I might be a little busy on this live stream. Alex Barney two bucks says, "Have some Yang style freedom bucks." Thank you. The thing about, for example, if you want to donate to Andrew Yang, which you can do now, he needs it to get to the Democratic debates, but if you want to donate to him, he's literally going to pay you back, of course. So, yeah, and of course in this video, we'll talk about the hilarious and great rationalizations for, well, okay, well, let's go ahead and respond to some autistic people out there, the Ben Shapiro style people out there who tend to overanalyze things. Let's talk about them for a second.

Actually, let me go ahead and get rid of my screen. We'll do it this way for a bit. So anyway, a lot of people, I mean, the thing about politics, kids, is you can't plan where you're going, you can never really be quite sure where you're going. And what I mean by that is if you're trying to do meme magic, this is a life lesson, mind you. It applies to politics, it applies to everything else. This is a life lesson. If you want to be a good meme magician, if you want to get your way, you have to have what magicians call multiple outs. Now, what are multiple outs? You might know what this concept is, but if you're a magician, let's say you have this trick and you can go to any person no matter how many people there are and you can ask them to pick a card and they will select a card and you will always 100% of the time guess which face it was whether it's clubs, spades, or whatever. It's easy to do that when you understand the concept of multiple outs.

So, for example, someone picks a card. They say that it's diamonds or something like that. Well, you have a diamond tattoo on your arm and you pull it up and reveal a diamond. Or maybe you have a club in your back pocket or something, or for all the four different responses, you have a response to that. It's called multiple outs. And that means you don't need to do any real magic. You just have to go somewhere and no matter what happens, things are the best for you. Now, a lot of people are, a lot of autistic Ben Shapiro style people who overanalyze things. They're looking at this Andrew Yang thing, this Andrew Yang phenomenon because a lot of people on the right wing are starting to embrace Andrew Yang and they're saying, "Why are people, this is really dangerous? What if universal, what if literally giving everyone a thousand dollars isn't a good idea?" and every month. Well, the response to that is multiple outs.

Let's put it this way. So, let's say that Andrew Yang becomes president and he gives everyone literally free money all the time. There are two possibilities. Well, multiple possibilities, but let's say everything collapses. There's hyperinflation. There's the entire economic system falls apart. It's unsustainable, and the entire system is just over. Okay, from my perspective, that's a good thing. That's a good out. Okay, so that's one good option. Let's say he becomes president and there isn't hyperinflation. Let's say the economy doesn't collapse. Well, now I have $1,000. I have $1,000 every month. I can take that money. I can go live in a woods. I don't even have to do anything. All right, between that and my YouTube channel and the stuff I do online to get money, I could just live for free. Actually, most of you could live for free. So that's another multiple out. Or maybe in supporting Andrew Yang, he doesn't win at all, but it encourages Orange Man to actually go by his own platform. That's another option as well. That's a good out as well. So the reason Andrew Yang is such a good meme now is because no matter what happens, we win. Anti-fragility, kids. No matter what happens, we win.

I know there's some people nitpicking. We'll talk about this later, but anyway, let's see. Let me go back to screencast mode. Zeno Norsk videoer asks 50 Norwegian kroners or whatever they are. I don't know what they're called. They start with a K. How many memes can you put in your CV? I don't really in my CV. I don't usually put memes in my CV, but anyway, let's go ahead and look at our memes. So I got a lot of them from a lot of different people. Many of them are just anti-Trump memes, but a lot of them are Yang related. For example, the 4D chess. The 4D chess megatard. There he is. Everything Trump is doing, all the terrible stuff that Trump is doing, betraying his base, it's all just 4D chess. They've been saying this for years. Boomer Yang dabbing on Blump. Gonna pay you $1,000 to be a neat. All good ones. I'm trying to think how exactly I should start. What's a good way to start the top of the website?

And someone on Twitter made this mod or what's the thing? I'm mascot and some kind of dragonlike Pepe derivative. That I forget its name. It's somewhere in there. Get off the Trump train. Get on the Yang yacht. My terminal window is all messed up. I shouldn't have zoomed out. As you can see, you may notice I'm actually using Vim FM with Uber. So I'm having the image previews now, which Dissot Tube did a video on it last week or something, so you can check that out. Anyway, this is the black pill. Nothing in politics matters. No, that's the stereotype. In reality, you're just going to get free money and no matter what happens, the world collapses. The world doesn't collapse. You win, kids. Or even if you, you can still change your mind.

A thousand. I haven't actually seen all these. So I'm pretty sure I weeded out all the ones that are not YouTube appropriate, but I haven't seen a lot of these. Thousand Yang bucks versus HR departments using algorithms to fire you. That's true. That is true, kids. In fact, well, the one caveat to that is, you know, once this happened, like let's say there's universal basic income, since they have tried their hardest to get you off of every platform for your political speech, you can bet they'll try and get rid of your Yang bucks if they can.

Unending immigration, loss of social cohesion, national collapse. Same, but also a thousand dollars. See, kids, it's what we call in game theory a dominating strategy, kids, because no matter what happens, it's better to just get the extra $1,000. All right. Virgin President Chad Yang. As you can see, there are many things wrong with Trump. There's only one thing that matters with Yang. $1,000. That's all it is. $1,000. You don't need another reason, kids.

That's right. $1,000. By the way, you want a wall? If you want a wall with Mexico, elect Yang and you can build a private wall. You'll have so much money. We can all get together and build a wall. We'll do it faster than Trump did. Where did my... Yeah, there it is. I have of course gallons and gallons of water here because I go through so much in live streams.

All right. So, anyway, let's start putting some of these in. Let's see. What do I want? Maybe we'll start with the dragon meme. I think I have...

All right. So, let me move my microphone a little bit. I should probably check the chat and respond to all you Ben Shapiro style people. I'm pretty sure... Did I already put in some CSS rules in here, didn't I? Yeah. Are people complaining about the microphone again? Let's see.

The annoying thing. So, set on... Okay, that should be better. Complaining less. All right. Yeah. See, it's an OBS thing. See, even though I have this input literally set to go off the Yeti, it still, for whatever reason, goes off the webcam if something, I don't know, it just decides to.

Okay. And let's see. We got to have some Blump memes. Living in a lonely, alienated techno dystopia versus $1,000 a month. Actually, the truth is you're going to be living in a tech dystopia no matter what. But still, it's better than nothing. Gamers, that's right. Yang is the official candidate of both gamers and of neets. I don't condone either, but I'm just saying he's the candidate for all of them. Let's see. Should the US continue to support Israel? No, we should be less involved. Hmm. Makes you think.

Most people who think we can turn coal miners into coders either...

See, the other thing is, as this graph illustrates, highly scientific graph, memes have decreased in quality since Trump has been president, because it's like, what are we going to do with him? There's nothing important you have to fight for. Well, there is bullying Trump into doing what he's supposed to do. But aside from that, the quality of memes have declined significantly.

I just fix this. I have these shortcuts. I don't know why it is not moving the way I wanted it to. I'll just move it manually.

It's probably put an extra break in there or something. Look at that. It's looking straight '90s again.

All right, kids. Oh, yeah. Minecraft Yang needs aren't the master race. It's just a meme. The mindset of scarcity has a profound effect. Studies have shown that an inability to pay one's bills can reduce functional intelligence by the equivalent of 13 IQ points. Of course, that's probably all BS, but who cares? It's the meme. You got to run with the meme.

Oh, we got to have this one. I got to think of what to actually put in the text here. Like what kind of text? Because it can't just be images. Obviously got to have some kind of text explaining and bullying people into supporting Yang. At least until I decide he's not a good candidate. Then I'll remove the site. I should probably remove the coming soon thing.

All right, kids. All right, kids. Zoomers. See, this is the boomer. The boomer says, "Actually, Ben Shapiro says that that's not good economics." No, not boomers. No one cares. There's me in a Yang hat dancing the Zoomer dance, whatever it's called. Boomers. Believing this country can be saved. What a boomer thing. What a boomer thing. Don't worry, Maggipedes. You can still send your monthly Yang checks to Benjamin Netanyahu if you want. That's right. That's right.

Sticking with Trump, caring about the economy, wanting a better future for you and your family under the hopes that Trump comes through versus $1,000. That's right. Forgot campaign promises. Gay gives us false hope every month. Willing to enslave Amazon robots to put an extra thousand dollars in our pockets. Cool. Every supporter gets a 19-year-old Asian GF. I didn't hear about that part of his platform. That's interesting. I don't know who sent me that one, but good man.

Remove the bloody chat, would you? It's covering the code. There is no code going on. We're just looking at my directory right now. I also deliberately put it on that side. Actually, maybe I should annoy you and move it to the middle.

But drum is a conscient and will rise thool from the sea by completing German ideal. Yeah, that's a good meme.

I should just be drinking directly out of the gallon.

A 19-year-old Asian GF one. Why not a virgin Asian GF? See, that's what I was thinking. But hey, it's his campaign promise. I'm not going to hold him to it. I'm not a big fan of Asian GFs to be honest. I'm sure that many of you guys know this. All right. Where should I move chat to? Maybe I should just put it over here. I'm not drinking from plastics.

Uh yeah, now you can't see anything. Oh yeah, remember to donate kids. Remember to donate.

People complaining about the mic. The mic is fine. The mic is fine. All right, I'm going to put donate up here so you can see even more of the chat.

Okay. Oh yeah, here's a good one. That's right. Trump has been funding Israel pretty well. Trump did run on building a wall, border security, and he's doing all of that, just not for the right country.

That's right. Here's the Venn diagram. Now, y'all know blackpilled, need some dank memes, you need $1,000, or you just want $1,000. Who's going to say no? There's a generic a non-me picture. Why do I have a non-me picture of him? Maybe I should actually use that though. I still haven't really decided what I want to say in the site though.

Put the chat at the bottom. So we get... See the thing is there is no good side to put it in. You want me to put it down here? Put it down there. I'll put... Where should I put my face now? You know what? Maybe I just don't want to see your chat anymore. I'm just going to get rid of it there. Since you complain so much, I always put the chat. See, I always put the chat because I feel like eventually my YouTube is going to be deleted. So, I want to have a repository of the chat, but let's see there. I don't want to see your messages anyway, although I can on my other computer.

Yanked. That's right, Maggotards. You're going to get yanged.

Have the chat show only three messengers or so at once. That's not going to work. Moves too fast. I can't even see most of the messages here.

People are still complaining about the mic. Oh, look at that. It's on. See, I never know when people are kidding. And when they're not, I don't know what exactly causes it. I haven't quite.

Hello. There. We'll figure that out. See, it used to not break like that.

Thing is, I can't hear it. You know what? I should just get rid of my webcam. That's what I should do. And I should unplug it as well.

Oh, look at that. And you can actually see donations down there. So, that's where that was.

Arch doesn't really just break. It doesn't really just break. It's OBS that's breaking. Or if you want to blame some Linux software, blame Pulse Audio. That's really what's going on, because Pulse Audio is determining what the correct source is or something. I don't exactly know what could be causing this to be perfectly frank, but all right, let me read that donation. Can you guys handle not having anything on your screen moving around? I know that people are a little autistic about it.

All right. Anyway, we could just do a normal stream if you want. We've already talked enough about Yang, actually. Well, maybe I should bring that back up. Yeah, whatever. We'll do this.

At least the... Oh, now look at that. I'm frozen. I'm frozen. What is this? What is all this?

Yeah, great. Give me one second. All right, I'm back. I just had to turn off OBS just so my face would reappear. I really hate this. OBS is probably the bloatedest program that I have, and it's no coincidence that it's also the most insufferable. Messes up everything. Okay.

Can you please redesign your website? You make minimalism look like a '90s vibe. Sorry, that's the point. I mean, that's my point. Or are you talking about Yang Gang or you talking about my website? Very different.

Make a script for streaming. I mean, I might unironically start streaming with FFmpeg just because OBS gives me all this annoying trouble. I mean, it wouldn't be that annoying if I wasn't doing more varied stuff with it, but uniboomer.com is down. Yeah, I know that. Actually, I should probably change it. It's just I moved hosts and servers. Actually, let's check uniboomer.com.

Forget where it is. I changed VPSs and registrars. I forget where exactly uniboomer.com is right now, but I'll figure it out. Unix minimalism equals undeveloped because lazy. That's actually true. But the thing is you put one extra unit of effort, you get five extra units of pain. So why even bother?

And the funniest thing is, first off, I'm not changing my website. If that's what you're talking about, there's no way I'm changing my website if it's not minor tinkering. Every once in a while, some soy dev will come to my channel and suggest, you know, rebuilding the thing with ReactJS or something like that. So, yeah. No, that doesn't happen.

What VPS do I use? I use Vulture. Something like that. I forget. That's what apparently everyone uses it. I didn't realize like a lot of people on YouTube. I think Chris Aapenti does. I'm pretty sure I think I saw a video by IBSD. He uses it too. A lot of people do.

Your website is cool. I love the aesthetic. It isn't cringe at all. Yeah, of course it's not cringe. What's cringe is if anyone doesn't like it. That's proof. See, what people like nowadays is faux minimalism. They like white screens, totally undecorated, and they want to have like all they want everything to load slowly and come in from the side and all this garbage. Now, you can do a site like that. Well, I've seen sites like that, but most of them is just bloated nonsense that you can't run on. I mean, if you can't run a text browser like W3M on it, it doesn't count. I don't promote using browsers like that, but as a heuristic if you can't run a text browser on it it doesn't really matter.

So yeah, I mean it is annoying. There is a guy I think he has a YouTube presentation on what he calls chicken minimalism which you can look up but it's pretty good because it's about like this faux minimalism. It's minimalism as not a design principle in aesthetic but not in the actual base of what the programs are. Basically nowadays you can have a static site quote unquote that you know is megabytes and megabytes without having anything to it.

Well, there'll be another video on how to set up your own. I'll probably do one-off videos on different things, maybe getting SSL or something like that. But, the thing about web or any kind of series, one thing that I've known for quite a while on YouTube, no one ever watches serieses. Don't even make them. They're a serious waste. Or if you make, let's say I want to make, well one thing I have done, I've made a series on, for example, latte, okay, so I don't know how many videos I made in it, maybe 12 or something like that, and what happens of course if you take that or any other series like a course, an online course, how it works is a lot of people will watch the first episode and there's a huge drop off after that. There's just nothing there. And that's not because... So, well, that means a couple things. First off, it's a waste to put out videos in the form of a series. But in addition, I mean, if you actually want to communicate with people, if you actually want to learn them something, the proper ways to show them one-off, here's how you do this, here's how you do that. That's why most of my channel is like this. That's why I don't have intro to l number 7,000 or intro to gra number seven,000 or something like that. When I did the graph series, there was a sense in which it was a series, but every single one was okay, here's how you do this or here's how you do that. If you put them in terms of series, it doesn't work. So, if I want to do something about, okay, let me set up an Apache web server. Then I'll do a video on that maybe, but it's not going to be in the terms of series.

Thoughts on Brian Lunduk? I've never seen such low-effort content as get as much as he gets. Well, I think my opinions of Brian Lunduk are sort of out there.

Oh yeah, I shouldn't have even mentioned Apache. I knew I was going to start this blump duke.

Where's the roads video? I might eventually do it. I thought about doing it like... See, the thing is for the roads video, I've actually already got the video for it. I think it was when I was doing traveling in Tennessee. I took a bus up to Chattanooga or something like that and I have basically a time lapse from like the second floor of the bus through the whole highway. So, it's very nice looking road footage and I'm going to use that as it's probably going to be me talking over that. Although, I think the footage is so good-looking that it might actually have the opposite effect. People might like roads just by watching that.

Where's the metric system video? I don't force any videos. And you probably have noticed when I say I'm interested in doing a video on something, I'll probably just do it way later. You know, most of them I eventually do, but it takes a long time. For example, I remember when I did I did the Libra boot video of the X60. I said, "Oh, I'll do a review of this. It'll be my next video." It's been like two years now. Thankfully, only one or two people have noticed that one. So,

All right, I should probably check the donations. Give me a second. Give me one second. Okay, now my phone is buzzing. I don't know what that is. Give me a second for donations. There needs to be just a live stream of it that I did get, but I have to like manually look everything up. It's sort of an annoying thing.

So 15 rubles from some Cyrillic name that I'm not going to read out because I don't exactly know how to actually Victor. Victor or maybe that's his last name. I don't know Cyrillic enough to read it. He says, "Love your videos, Luke, but why did you mute me off your channel? How do I get unmuted for my reference? My name is Arch Collector." I don't know if you've been muted. It might not have been me if I did it. Your name doesn't sound familiar. I have muted people on my channel, but your name doesn't sound familiar. I'd probably remember if it was some cringe if you had actually been banned basically.

Let's see. I'm trying to see. The problem is there's super chat and then there is Streamlabs. Okay, there we go. All right, so Yang Gangs 10 bucks. Thanks for the boomer rant videos. Do you think there is value, modern value for old folklore? Well, yeah, I think so. I mean, as I said in one of those videos a while ago, mythology is better is more than true or false. You know what I mean? I think that yeah folklore is valuable especially if you understand the context but it's not the kind of rationalistic thing you can explain to people.

So noise pollution $69. What's up you Luke Yang Gang 2020. Greetings from Saudi Arabia. Your god tier mustache got me into arch. Keep doing your thing man. Free $1,000. That's right. Free money from Saudi Arabia. Okay. Oh yeah. Oh he sent in another one. You missed my previous donation. So, here's another one. Yang Gang. Oh, I should miss more donations if it gets me even more. Yang Gang 2020 free. Oh, says pretty much the same thing except for I want to stroke your facial hair one day. Oh, don't count on that.

All right. Still on the good mic, everyone. Luke, have you ever read Myth of the 20th Century? Yeah, I've read part of it. That's a really hard book to find. I don't think I've ever found it in a physical copy. If you don't know, it's by Alfred Rosenberg. It was one of the most popular books in the Third Reich. Popular more than possibly more than Mein Kampf, but yeah, Rosenberg it it's an interesting book. We'll just say that it was his take on trying to create a modern mythology for, you know, I guess a new right wing or something, but Rosenberg was basically murdered in a show trial in the Nuremberg trials and hung and after the allies took over. Not for doing any basically his crime was basically having a book that was famous in Nazi Germany. No, and yeah, he's not Rosenberg. He is definitely not Jewish. He's extremely not Jewish. In fact, his basically his entire worldview, like he had a sort of a theory of history where everything is, I mean it was honestly sort of indicative of the time then, but his view was basically there are an Aryan Indo-European strand of culture and there is a Semitic strand and it's sort of, it's almost like sort of a Marxist view of the bourgeoisie versus the proletariat and interprets historical events through that. He did the same thing, but really between two ethnic groups. But I haven't read the entire thing. I know it's out there. It's hard to find. There's a point where I was trying to find a physical copy of it just because it's one of those books that obviously, you know, when a foreign power takes over your country and like kills you and tries to suppress your book, you don't really find it that much. But you can find PDFs of it, but they're all poorly formatted and stuff.

Have you changed your opinion on mattresses, seeing you evidently sleep on a bed? I mean, I never didn't sleep on a mattress. It's just sometimes I wouldn't. I'd sleep on the floor. I haven't been doing it recently, though, because I have a wood floor here, and that's a little harder to sleep on. It's easy to sleep on carpet. Very easy.

What was the name of the book Myth of the 20th Century? And if that's what you're asking for.

Have you read Siege yet? No, I haven't read Siege. Is that actually... Do people actually read that or is it just a meme? Is that just like for Fed posters? Okay, so here's where all the donations are. I'm silly. Okay. $10 from Lunk. Hey, Luke, you probably get asked this all the time, but I was never around. Sorry, but do you think one learns a foreign language with really different grammar better by just being more exposed to it or by spending more time actively studying it? That, I mean more it depends on what you mean by both of those. And what I mean by that is I mean it's not like you sitting around watching a French movie is going to help you learn French. You know that doesn't actually help you learn a language. But once you have a basic knowledge of the grammar and you are sort of listening for the intonation and the grammar and how things move up and down, I think you can, I mean you have to get exposed to it. You're not going to learn a language by sitting down and reading things through unless you're doing constant mental practice. It's one of the things I talked about in my video on Latin and the same thing. But on the other side, there's no such thing. You're not just going to sit there and passively learn a language without any kind of reflection. You have to have a little bit. You have to have grammatical knowledge enough for you to be able to parse basic things. But most of the active, you know, learning how to use it is an issue of listening to other people and learning how to produce things and sort of practicing producing things on your own.

I'm a front-end developer working on a typo3 corporate sites for a company. And I want to learn Docker. What do I do? Don't learn Docker. Audio is getting clippy. Is it? Are we still on the okay? We're still on the good one. So, it's not a mic problem.

Okay, I think someone gave a super chat a minute ago. What are the goodest headphones in your opinion? $2 from Connor Gray. I don't know. I don't have opinions on this. This is only a G user would have opinions on headphones and I don't. I'll tell you what I use. I use these really cheap monorric headphones. They couldn't be more than $30 or something and they've been fine. I don't know. It's nice. You can take the cord out, I guess. But yeah, I don't really care that much.

Robert Smith. Myth of the 20th century is on Amazon. Well, when I look for books, I automatically exclude Amazon. Although, I'm very... That's interesting that it's on there. I'm going to look that up. Myth 20th Century. I'm a little surprised that it's on there. I mean, not because I think they would censor it, but because it's a little obscure. A lot of people don't know it. Okay, it is on it. I'm trying to sort of curious who's selling it, though. But, of course, when I look for books, I automatically exclude Amazon. I never buy things from Amazon. If they exist on Amazon, I don't buy them. It's for 1448.

What are the best keyboards? Oh, well, I've been meaning to record I have a video partially recorded on my new keyboard, which is one of those, what is it called? Endura Pros from what's that K company? I don't even remember what the company is called. It's in Kentucky. Took over from Lex Mark. Trying to remember what it's called. Actually, it's probably on here. Oh, Unicomp. Yeah.

Yeah. I literally do not buy from Amazon. The last thing I ever bought from Amazon. Well, I probably went years and years without buying anything from Amazon. And I actually did buy Var's RPG from Amazon. I figured why not? I'll get it. But it's especially confusing. I mean, it's a little weird to me that he uses Amazon considering his dissident status. I'm a little surprised they haven't shut him down. I mean, they shut Roo down. It's a little weird they're not shutting Var down, but I guess Var is a little harder to understand. There's been a public conspiracy, you know, public out, you know, autistic screeching about Roo. Hasn't really been one about Var. So, the opinion molding class, so to speak, doesn't really know that much about Var, especially not in America.

Why do you need all those keys, Luke? Because I'm not autistic and I'm not going to use a 40% keyboard. I'm not some anime poster.

Vargas is pretty low keys in terms of publicity these days. I don't know if that's true. I mean he's probably more famous now than he's ever been. It's just he hasn't rustled the feathers of, again, the opinion molding class.

I know a self-published socialist author that only sells via Amazon. Concave Brain. Wojack. Yeah, I bet.

I'm sure that's kind of garbage that they'd sell. Actually, let's see. Maybe I should... I've never checked Biblio. If they have Myth of the 20th Century, I'll probably check because that's mostly just like random library. Biblio.com is actually pretty good for finding rare books just in case you guys are curious. I mean this is where I got Devani Prabashika Sanskrit Primer. This thing was hard to find originally, but now it's popping up on eBay. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I mentioned it. I don't know. But this is if you want to learn Sanskrit, use this one. Everything I know about Sanskrit I learned from here. I don't know Sanskrit super well, but this is a really good primer. Although I it's sort of expected you have some grammatical knowledge. So I mean if you know Latin, you know enough to read the book. Let's see. Myth of the 20th.

Why biblio.com when you can name it bibl.io? Because maybe they're not soy devs.

That actually is ex I find that extremely cringe when people like divide a name between the top level domain and like the actual name, you know.

Yeah, I would never get one of those. All right, let me check. I think I missed the donation. Let me double check. Maybe it didn't. Maybe it was just me imagining things. If you send something on Zel, which of course is the best, I might not. It comes in a little later. Just note that. But if yeah, you should send something in on Zel because PayPal or anything doesn't... If you're an American. Only Americans do it can do it. Europor's on suicide watch.

Right. So, what was I checking? Oh, yeah, I had to check PayPal. This is the thing: I need a secretary. That's what I need. Anyone's sister want to be my secretary? That's what I need.

I don't know if I get enough super chats to hire a secretary, though. I actually need a secretary who also cooks me food. That would be even more convenient. Is Yang the first American presidential candidate to push the UBI meme? I don't know if he's the first one, but he's the first to get the attention. I mean, first to be memed like this. No male secretaries. There's no such thing as a male secretary.

So, speaking of which, who's seen the movie Secretary? Anyone seen that? Type a yes in the chat if you've seen it. Type no in the chat if you haven't. That's a fun movie to talk about. Just an inn, nothing else.

See that? For those who don't know, if you just want to know what the movie is, it's basically just like Fifty Shades of Grey. Exact same thing, just before that. That's what it's about. It's about this impressionable girl who has a domineering boss, something like that, at work. And it's all about, you know, whatever. It's a pretty funny movie. It's a fun, if you're a normie, you'll probably just see it and think, okay, that's some weird sex fetish movie. But when you start realizing, well, not if you're a normie, but if you're like a literal incel, like someone who's never had a girlfriend, you'll be very confused, like, what is it? Why is this movie so weird?

But in reality, if you've been through enough girls, so to speak, or not even so to speak, literally somehow, you sort of realize how many girls there are like that, actually. We all know that people actually read Fifty Shades of Grey and enjoy it. And when I say people, I mean women. But yeah, that movie is pretty much the same thing. I just remember there's one scene in there that I've had a girl literally do to me, or not do to me but wanted me to do to her.

There's a scene where the girl is eating with her parents and she calls up her boss, who again she has this sort of sexual relationship with. It's sort of strange. And she calls up her boss and she tells him what is being served for dinner, and she wants him to tell her what she is allowed to eat. Now, that sounds absolutely insane. He's like, "Have a scoop of mashed potatoes and three peas," or something like that. And I thought that was the weirdest thing ever until I eventually had a girl do exactly that to me.

You know, girls will literally, if you've really gotten to a girl, she'll get to the point where she wants you to tell her what to do in daily life things. It's the weirdest thing. But a lot of people talk about how brainwashed women are, how feminist they are. But in real life, men are actually usually more brainwashed because they are basically afraid to respond to this kind of stuff.

OMG, this happened to me. Yeah, it's totally weird. Or the weirder thing is, this is not a child-appropriate stream, by the way. But the weird thing is, if you've ever had a girl who, you know, if you're doing something sexual or something like that, we don't have to be specific because, again, Christian channel, she'll tell you she wants you to do something weirdly perverted to her that usually involves you being highly assertive or something. And they'll always say the same thing: "Oh, I'm so weird. I just have this weird fetish. It's just how I am."

But the thing is, literally every girl is like that. Literally every girl I've run across. Maybe I'm just weird. Maybe I attract a certain kind of girl. Maybe that's what it is. But it's my hypothesis that it's a good bit more common.

How soy is it to unironically have a waifu? I think it speaks for itself.

Are you actually going to build a website in the stream or no? Well, I was doing that for like five seconds at the beginning, but it sort of bores me and it's sort of the kind of thing where it divides my attention. Like if I actually want to make a smart website, I have to put some thought into it, which is sort of hard to do when I'm responding to chat, getting super chats, all these other kinds of things. So, realistically, this is again why I need a secretary. That's what I need. I could just devote my attention to this and have my secretary right here, right in this chair, doing her work, telling me what super chats to read. That's sort of what I need.

I'm an insult and I find it offensive. You're talking about girls. Oh well, just don't be an insult.

What is this website supposed to be? It's supposed to be about Yang Gang kids. Maybe I should go back to it. Maybe I should click on it. Where were we? Where were we? Was I actually pushing the commits to the website? No, I actually wasn't. I thought I was.

So, something else you have to do on GitLab for it to update. I don't even know. Or have I pushed all these commits? No, I haven't. Give me one second.

to be finished later.

Imagine, is this Emacs? No, it's Vim. There's magic for Vim as well, or magit, whatever it is.

But Yang will yang gang the economy, man. That's the point. That is the point.

Luke's manly fingers absolutely dominating that keyboard. That's right. Buckling springs. Buckling springs. Boomer rant about women win. I don't find ranting about women productive. If your mindset is in the place where you are upset about women, you're in the wrong place.

So degenerate to have sex with a sort of girl in order to improve your self-confidence. I am against it. I'm against it. You might know, just because I note former relationships I've had, I am of the full opinion that you should never date before you get married. Never ever date before you get married. Every relationship you have is an annoying liability. But this is something else to talk about.

Why do you go to church if you don't believe in God? I do believe in God. Well, why do people think I don't believe in God?

No, it isn't MGTOW. There's no such thing. I mean, in a normal healthy society there's no such thing as dating anyway. Dating is what you do when you don't have a normal way of meeting women. It's an invented thing that we've basically developed in the past couple decades after the lack of social cohesion we have nowadays. You shouldn't date. You shouldn't have girlfriends before you get married.

Noise pollution. $69. Take more of my oil money. It's off to bed with me. Have a great stream, boys. Thank you. Look at that, these Saudis are funding me now. Don't tell Alex Jones. I don't know. Alex Jones doesn't talk about Saudis. He talks about Chinese now. Chinese. We all know who he's really talking about. But uh...

Arranged marriage is the only way to go. Arranged marriages are good, but we don't really live in a culture where it's normal to do that. But there's definitely a reason for that. I mean, a reason to have arranged marriages.

What do you think of the most recent Alex Jones JRE episode? I don't know what it is. I mean, if you're talking about Alex... Oh, Alex. Oh, yeah. Okay. Sorry, I read that wrong. I saw part of it. I liked it. I guess Alex Jones, people get focused on the fact that he gets deluded by some strands into naive directions, but Alex Jones perhaps more than anyone else has the deepest esoteric understanding of the struggle going on in the world now. He might put it in terms of psychic vampires, but he knows exactly what's going on.

But you really, I would have to explain in long-form writing how this actually is, or I really need to meditate on it before I explain how. But Alex Jones really gets at the core. He's really an anti-gnostic, so to speak. His view, we'll talk about it later. We'll talk about it later.

Do you know Eric Striker? I don't know him. I've listened to Striken Mike before, but I don't know. I mean, he's okay, I guess. I mean, I have nothing against him.

Please do a podcast about that. About which subject? About Alex Jones? About women liking to get spanked? There are many possibilities.

Please do a talk about that later. Anti-gnostic. No, he's not anti-gnostic. He's anti-gnostic. So when I say that, I mean, you know what Gnosticism is, right? It's the idea that there's hidden knowledge. Well, Gnosticism, I mean, if you look at Christian Gnosticism, which is one incarnation of it, the idea was the physical world is evil, the physical world is bad, and we have to transcend it, and the spiritual realm is the good one, right? It's a kind of Platonism taken and put in Christian garb.

So Alex Jones basically correctly identifies that the elite in Western countries have a form of Gnosticism as their beliefs. And it's not just the elite; a lot of us nowadays have this kind of implicit Gnosticism. And it isn't really in terms of spiritualism versus the physical world. It's really in terms of what the end goal of society is.

And Alex Jones, I think, correctly realizes that a lot of people have this weird history where history is going to a place where technology is going to take over. There's going to be singularity, and elites are trying to find a place in this robotic hellscape, so to speak. So their goal is to accelerate, to further erode the social conventions of people. They want to get rid of religion. They want to get rid of race. They want to get rid of everything that makes humans human-like and make them more susceptible to live in this sort of posthuman era. That's really what it is.

And Alex Jones sort of... now, of course, there are probably very few, well, there might be some elites who overtly believe in something like this. But at an esoteric level, a lot of them do anyway, and a lot of us do anyway. We have the idea that we're moving to this posthuman era where, oh, we're just going to take everything about actual human societies and sort of, you know, either subvert them or use them to some greater social engineering purpose. So, that's a kind of Gnosticism that we abide by.

Now, of course, it's not Gnosticism in a spiritual versus physical realm, but there's a sense in which we're taking human societies and replacing them with a rationalistic, almost Platonic ideal. And Alex Jones is anti-gnostic. His world, he views himself as against this worldview that wants to replace humans with something beyond humans. He thinks that's a bad thing. It's going to destroy human freedom. It's going to literally destroy the human race. That's what Alex Jones's view actually is.

And, of course, he gets many details wrong. He can see many patterns where they're not. But in general he has this very incisive way of looking at the assumptions behind what everyone is doing. So...

Did you read Industrial Society and Its Future by the Unabomber? I thought my channel is the reason that is becoming popular again.

I just came in and I wasn't prepared. Oh yeah, that's right. I bet not. What's wrong with destroying the human race? This is what the elite actually believe. Humans are racist. We have to get rid of them. Shoot.

History isn't progression towards some end goal in a linear fashion. It's an excavation of layers from different perspectives. Nietzsche knew this. I think in some way that's a really stupid view that people have, of course, the end of history idea anyway, because take singularity. People ask me about singularity all the time. I usually give the same answer in streams.

People will say, look at our computing power. It's increasing exponentially. Well, it's just going to keep doing that forever, right? And then we're going to find ourselves in some age beyond all ages and who knows what's really going to happen. Okay, that's the idea behind singularity. But of course, you can look at history at any point in time and there are people who have the same kind of end-of-history views there.

You look at Christians in the year 500. "Oh, Jesus is just about to come back because Attila the Hun is closing in. All of history, the whole world is degrading. There's moral degeneration everywhere. People are starting to, you know, we're losing family values. Everything is being torn asunder and the world is falling apart." And you just take that to its logical conclusion and you see the world ending in the year 500, which is how a lot of people looked at it back then.

Same thing. I mean, there are many ways in which our society is highly degenerate. People aren't really focused on the continuity of society anywhere; they're focused on their personal pleasure. But this has happened a million times before. Recent example: what happened in Weimar Germany? Did Weimar Germany end in some highly degenerate eternity where everyone can just do whatever they want and they're plugged into the pleasure machines? No, it ended in Nazi Germany. There was a reaction against it.

The thing is, if you make some kind of trend about how things are going, they're always going to change. Even the trend that both the political right and political left are tacitly assenting to now, the idea that we have moved to the left, you know, we've moved to the left sometimes over the past couple hundred years. Now, there are some senses in which that's true, but when you really look at it, it's more like one of those M.C. Escher paintings, right? Where people are climbing up stairs, but the stairs go in a circle and you're not really climbing anywhere.

Sure, every year it looks like things are getting more degenerate, but at the same time the organic aspect of society is recovering from the damage that's done to it. So people have this sort of funny... again, you can never draw trends to things. I mean, look at neoliberals when they drew trends. Francis Fukuyama wrote The End of History, literally the idea that liberal democracy is the last form of government. There will never be anything after it. We have now reached perfection. Everything's going to be better.

And even 10 years ago, people believed that. Even 5 years ago, people believed that. And look how in the past 5 years, everything about that has just fallen apart. No one believes in liberal democracy anymore. I mean, the elites do, but no one cares about them, you know? So, that's the end of history for you. Okay.

225 from Bartholomew Bartholomeos. Can you please ban the word trap from your channel? It is reasonable to think that no one who uses the word is saying anything important since hunting is rarely talked about. It's a possible idea. There are a couple words I have banned from my channel. I'll take that into account, but I think people do use the word trap in its proper terms.

A couple words I have banned. You probably know I have the word Torx banned, and there's a reason for that. You can look it up on my channel. I did a video about it. I have the term yikes banned. That gets rid of a lot of low-quality posts. That's a good one. And another word I have banned is kindly. K-I-N-D-L-Y, kindly.

Now you might say, when does anyone say kindly? No one even uses that word. Why do you have it banned? Well, I have it banned because I realized that when I first started getting thousands of Indian subscribers, all of them would ask me basic tech questions and all of them would read like they're just translated through Google Translate. And I'm like, I'm sick of these posts. How do I get rid of them?

I realized that all of them use the word kindly. I don't know what word they're translating from Hindi or whatever, but they begin with kindly. So, I just banned that word and now there are so many garbage posts that I don't get. That was a good one. So, Torx, kindly, yikes. Another one. I wish I could ban regular expressions. I wish I could ban any post starting with how to because I'm sure some people watching the stream are like, "Why would you do that? That's terrible."

Well, how to? No English? No. Well, it's possible to start a sentence with how to, but in general, no grammatical English sentence starts with how to. Now, you can make something up like, "Oh, how to fix this is something that would please me." Okay, not like that. But most of the how-to questions I get are how to get line number in Vim, how to get blah blah blah blah. So, here's a message: any of you guys who are non-English speakers, never ask a question that starts with how to because that's not grammatical. It's how do you blah blah blah. That's how you say it. You don't say how to. You're just translating an infinitive in another language. It doesn't work that way in English.

This is how you put the how to in for... Okay. Yeah.

How to get a big titty waifu. Find a big titty girl and make her your waifu. Luke is grammar confirmed. No, it's not grammar Nazi. Grammar Nazis are people who obsess over things that aren't really grammatical or not. Saying how to install Emacs, that's not a grammatical sentence of English. It is a grammatical phrase. It's not a sentence though. I would like to know how to install Emacs. That's grammatical.

Dude, you look like every Runescape bot. Yeah, I've been told that before. The resemblance is pretty uncanny.

How to donate? Oh god. Pites can donate up there. And nonpetses. What is page?

How does one is another way to say it. No, don't say it that way. You'll sound like a girl if you say that. Okay. MC King 45 the hero donates 199 huffs. I don't know what those are. Let's look it up. Let's look it up.

He didn't say anything though. Hungarian... for never even heard of that. Which 199, that's like 70 cents or no, no, 100. Yeah. Yeah. I like all you helpful people who search for things on the internet for me when I'm literally doing it right now.

US boomer doesn't know foreign currency. You know why I don't know foreign currency? Because I don't need to know foreign currency. That's the difference between Europeans and Americans. Oh, why don't Americans know languages? Because we don't need to know languages. Everyone learns our language.

This is the thing about Europeans that makes them feel so inadequate that they have to do all these things that Americans don't, and they try to make fun of Americans as if we're dumb because we don't need to do... well, I guess I'm not a good case because I know all these languages, but other Americans... I'm a firm proponent of not teaching languages to people who don't need them, and no normal American child needs to know any other language besides English. And if they do know any, you might as well learn Latin.

What is that stick in the background? Oh, this thing. I don't know why I still have this. It's some plastic toy. Really? My brother stole this from a Chinese curiosity shop at some point. Shoplifted it. I mean, stole sounds more serious, or I don't know. Maybe he didn't. Maybe we actually paid for it. I don't know. But I remember him walking out with it and I remember something being suspicious. But yeah, it just has like a little dagger. Of course, it isn't actually sharp. It's like you could basically stab myself with it right now and it wouldn't go through. I don't know why I have this here, to be perfectly honest. I was just moving stuff around and it's there.

Arw sends $10. Here's your first UBI check. Thank you. Thank you for that super chat. Oh man. Yeah, it's going to be easy once we're getting UBIs from President Yang. Dude, we can all... So, here's what I didn't mention before, but we need to create an Inwoods community. Not a commune, but sort of a community. All right, we're not doing communism, but we need to take our UBIs once all of us Marramuts, once we get our UBIs, our $1,000 a month, and we're going to pull them together. We're going to buy some land, and we're going to create, I don't know, whatever. It doesn't matter. We don't have to work. We can do whatever we want, but we're going to have a self-sufficient commune based off the Luke Smith YouTube channel. That's what we're going to do with our UBIs once we get President Yang elected.

In a Woods community. Yeah, that's right. The only thing I haven't figured out how to do is how to get girls for my subscribers because it'd be really gay if it were just a bunch of men.

Luke, are you familiar with the Zeitgeist movement or the Venus Project? Yeah, I used to laugh at them 10 years ago back when people pretended they were irrelevant.

Uh, how to get girls. Oh god.

Okay, chat is going too far fast. Is Var allowed to come? Well, he probably won't come since we'll probably be in America. That's right. Luke is building a tribe. A tribe funded by welfare.

Does the Inwoods community poo poo in the L? We don't have to. We can if we want.

No. No. If I can't procure women for the other people living in the tribe, it's not worth even doing because that'd be really lame. There's no point. I'm not going to babysit a bunch of incels, whatever they call them.

Are there any women here? Well, actually, I shouldn't even ask that. I'm sort of curious if there are any women watching. Every once in a while, I'll get an email from a woman. Every once in a while, there are women who watch my channel. Statistically, not many. Actually, I'll look up. Let's see how many women viewed one of my technology videos in the past month. Let's see. Analytics. Yeah, women, male. Yeah, there are a lot of women with penises who watch my channel, but I'm not including those in this rendering. Where is demographics? I should be pulling it up in front of you.

Okay. Yeah. Total female percentage for my channel. They don't actually give the... well, they give it divided by ages. So, let's say zoomers ages 13 to 17. Actually, I guess maybe zoomers are a little more than that, but 13 to 17: 6%. That is about half of 1% are female. My biggest female percentage is 18 to 24. I have 1.3% of my subscribers are female or viewers. And I've checked video by video because I'm curious about this. The tech videos are the most male. The non-tech videos, be they on something political, be they a boomer on woods, be they a podcast episode, those will have more women. But the tech videos, you might be able to guess: not very many women.

US Boomer rants about getting an email from a woman. I will also say that when I get a comment from a female poster, usually when it's like a butthurt comment, females have, you know, women just have a high... they seem to be highly overrepresented in butthurt comments. I'm not quite sure why. We'll just say that.

I'm not quite sure why. Wait, is there someone who claims to be a woman in the chat? I don't believe that.

I don't know if I can believe it. I mean, statistically speaking though, if I get an email with a female name, just merely statistically, it is my assumption that that is a trans man, trans woman, whatever they're called. All right? It's a biological male. Statistically speaking, it's probably a better chance that I'm talking to a transgender person than a biological female if I get an email from a woman.

A trap. They were called a trap. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I forgot trap. I haven't banned that term yet. I guess this would be an appropriate time to use it. What's your opinion on the n-word? Transgender.

I bet a girl could beat you up. Oh, I'm sure there are lots of girls who could beat me up.

Girl, man. Pretty soon, like every female athlete is going to be a girl.

As Luke already stated, when the next episode of Notre Related... my brain is turning to mush. Yeah, I probably should do that. The thing is, I could probably... Let's see if I have notes. I know I have a couple notes on some episodes that I've been meaning to do, but I just haven't gotten to them. I did that one. Oh, yeah. I was going to do one on Hamlet's Mill. Oh, in my notes, we were talking about Alfred Rosenberg earlier in the stream. I actually have him in my notes. So, I forgot about that.

But look at everyone. Everyone's trying so hard. It's going to be hard to get it. Ignatius Donnelly. Well, that was a good book. This book on Atlantis. So yeah, there's that one which is sort of going to be on hyperdiffusionism. Anyone know what hyperdiffusionism is? Maybe we can talk about that.

But another thing I was thinking about doing in a Not Related episode, but I might actually just do a one-off video on it, is basically why everything about statistics is wrong. I don't want to show my hand on that, but everyone in the chat is trying to spell ginger apparently. That's funny.

Yeah, the statistics one. I don't know if the statistics one would be better to do in person or to do via the podcast, but basically it's a critique of the hypothesis testing that people do in most fields, in psychology and linguistics and all this stuff. Where why am I playing with this pin? I think I don't know where I got this from. Got to use my classic Pilot G2.

Yeah, a linguistics channel viewers can't even spell gender.

Simpsons paradox is a good case against statistics. I don't know what that is actually. Simpsons paradox. Actually, maybe I've heard of it. I don't know. Half the time I won't recognize the word and then I'll know what it is.

Oh, okay. Yeah, I don't think I've heard that referred to as a name.

What is the stream about? None of my streams are about anything. Although, the overt reason for it was we were going to build the Yang website. Yang Gang still. Maybe I should throw some more in here because why not? I don't have my...

Mhm. All right. That's me nominally doing something on that top image broken on website. Is that true? Let's find out.

Um, maybe I'm dumb and I miswrote it. I forgot to move the file. That's what it is.

Whatever. Whatever. Okay. Um, where was I? Let me double check. Uh, super chats or whatever. Again, I need a secretary.

Should probably just hire an intern. That's what I need.

10,000 a month, but also a 10% value added tax. That's kind of shitty. Um, well, yeah, but we're looking for destroying the world, so a value added tax isn't that bad. So the system is just going to collapse sooner if there's a value added tax. Honestly, he should just print the money. That should just be how to should this will really trigger libertarians, but you should just print the money. There's no reason to do any kind of taxation actually.

Luke, do you own an axe? And if so, can you record yourself chopping a tree in a green shirt? Oh, that's a good reference. I might think about doing that. Um, I don't have a full-size axe. Think my—oh, you know what? There might be one in the shed. Actually, I might actually have one. I should do that. Maybe making fires.

What else? Just make a bunch of fires in a row. Luke, do you only pay in cash or do you use a bank card? Um, I don't usually use money that much. Um, I'll sometimes withdraw cash and go through that, but most of the time I don't mind using a credit card, but I honestly don't spend that much money day in, day out.

Yeah, I think I might actually do that Runescape thing. I think that's funny. My brother will like that. My brother unironically, however old he is, I don't know, he's like 25 or something, he unironically plays Runescape. Like, not even a joke. Runescape Mobile.

What are your meals like? I mostly just eat, um, let's see, what do I— I mean I've probably said before, but I basically eat like one huge meal a day. Just take a big tray, put a bunch of chicken on it, something like that. Cook it up. Put a whole bunch of spices on it.

Are people complaining about the mics again?

What's the most you spend on an X230 laptop? Well, I probably wouldn't spend any money on it. I don't really need one. I don't know. I mean, I think 150 is probably an okay price. Maybe I wouldn't buy one now if you're selling. I am thinking about selling some of my old laptops. I don't know if anyone would want them, but for example, my X60. This is actually it and its base, but X60. This is Libre booted. Nice. Everything works well. Uh, probably won't come with a hard drive, but I'm thinking about just getting rid of this thing just because I don't necessarily need it. I'm sure someone else will, but Libre booted. Everything works fine. Um, it's one of those old Lenovos that actually I think this might have still been made in America. I'm not quite sure. I'm not 100% sure, but it still has the old classic IBM logo. Um, have the base to it as well.

XD is not expensive. I got this one. Actually, I don't even want to tell you how cheaply I got this one because I want to sell it for more.

Are you going to get the Librem 5 or do you think smartphones are pretty useless? Yeah, I think smartphones are pretty useless. I think I have had multiple people, I don't know if they're actually from Purism, but a lot of people have been trying to get me to review this phone. I'm very suspicious to think that it is actually them trying to get me to, I don't know, talk about it. Or is it Librem or is it Purism? That's the same company, right? Purism. I always forget.

Yeah, Librem. It's by Purism. I did a video a while ago on Purism laptops and why basically I don't recommend getting them. Um, and it was like the top Google result for Purism for forever. So, they—I think they started buying off other people, frankly, because there were a whole bunch of other sponsored videos after that. Um, and I think they contacted me, but not in as many words. It might have just been, I don't know, a bunch of suspicious traffic. But um there were a whole bunch of people who had, um, yeah, once I put out that video there were all these people putting out sponsored videos about it. So I mean I didn't really say anything bad about them. I just said honest things about them, that it's literally no more free than just having like a corebooted X220 or something like that. See, if you go to their website, they are very particular in how they present. They make it seem like the Intel Management Engine is totally removed. It isn't. Or at least last time I checked a couple months ago, it isn't. I check every once in a while, but they have worded every single sentence in a way that makes you think it is. They're not lying in any of these individual sentences, but it makes you think that that's actually what it is and it isn't. No, the EOMA has not arrived either. Um, which I'm a little disappointed about. In fact, I haven't even gotten an email about it in quite a while. I'm sort of expecting it. They said that they are going to be manufacturing in March. I don't know when that is going to be.

Librem 5 seems like a total scam to me. If someone doesn't like want the security risks of owning a phone, just don't buy a phone. Uh yeah, I mostly agree. I mean, the thing is having a free software phone is better than not having a free software phone. But a lot of the privacy-compromising things about cell phones is the fact that you're in a network and can be monitored, your GPS location or whatever, whenever you do allow people to access it. I mean, if you're going to be really careful about your privacy on a phone, you end up not really using it in the way that people do. Um, which when it comes to phone, my view is just like don't use them for most things.

Do not related after you finish the myth of the 20th century. I'm halfway through it. It's wild. Yeah. Um, I mean that would be something that YouTube probably realistically wouldn't allow. Um, I'd like to of course—I mean I think it's something worth reading, but even me noticing it on a podcast, you know, or talking about it on a stream can be literally dangerous. I mean, most people don't know about it. Like if I were saying like go read Mein Kampf, there would be like red YouTube would be like, oh god, we got to shut them down. But Myth of the 20th Century, even though it's basically a similar strand, I guess, but I've never actually read any of Mein Kampf whatsoever. I just sort of assume it's a meme. Um, what EIG is that? Well, all right. So, I really have to pee. You guys can hold for 15 seconds, right? Okay. Maybe more than that. Maybe 30 seconds, but no more than that. I'm gonna be right back.

All right. Looks like nothing important has happened since I was gone. Of course, I didn't wash my hands. I didn't touch my wiener.

Robert, $2: "Torx."

Okay. Well, somehow that one made it through.

Oh, look at that. Super chats are all delayed. Peeing without touching your wiener. How? You're an adult. You should realize how to do this. You could see you can touch your underwear which touches your wiener or you can just—I don't know why I'm even explaining this. I don't even have to.

Internet Nazi larper says you should wash your hands before touching your dick. TBH I've, you know, when I was a kid I always thought that. I was like why don't people wash their hands before they touch their wiener?

Did you sit like a woman? No, obviously it took like 10 seconds, so it didn't sit.

I did drop my pen, though. Remind me not to put it in my mouth or something. I usually don't put it in my mouth, but I'll put it on my mouth or something like that.

The myth of the 20th century. What's it about? Read it. You can get a PDF of it pretty easily.

Ford logo changed. We are in a parallel universe. Okay. Yeah, people have been posting this on my channel forever or well for the past like week or so. Who knew? Another Mandela effect thing.

Read us something in Latin. I don't know if I have anything Latin here. That'd be really lame for me to read you something in Latin.

Thought I had some Latin. Oh, they're probably on the back bookshelf. I'm not going to go bother.

All right, someone better say something interesting there. The chat is simultaneously going too fast and there's not enough that I could actually talk about. I might close the stream sometime soon.

Actually, let me put some things in the dryer. You can wait 5 seconds, right? Okay, maybe 10.

Okay, for a second I thought my roommate was here. I don't know if she ever hears me streaming, but Luke, your stream is using proprietary WMP4 and not WebM. I don't think MP4 is proprietary anymore. Maybe it is. Doesn't really matter when it comes to codecs, now does it? Uh, give your thoughts on 5G. Bald man, I feel the same way that I feel about 4G or 3G. Shouldn't exist. We don't need it.

Do you only stream when she isn't home? Um, I think usually. I don't know. I don't plan it. I usually plan streams of 4 and she's usually gone. She has really weird work hours. I would tell you what she did, but you'd probably be able to find me.

Read the Vulgate from the command line like a patrol. Oh, I haven't recorded that video, have I? No, I haven't. See, that's the newest thing, kids. That's the newest thing, actually. I don't think I have it on this computer. Let's do it. Actually, what side is the chat on? Oh, there is no chat. Let me bring back my face though because you need to see my face. That's important. So, get clone Luke Smith. You can follow along with me at home, kids. Let's say I want to have a Latin Bible on the command line. You can just run these commands.

All right. Now we have perfect. It has all the best books of the Bible, including the Apocrypha. And let's say we want to read Genesis. Look at that. The entire Vulgate. But I don't know Latin. Well, you can get other versions as well. KJV in English, which actually was originally made by someone else. I actually stole his script for analyzing the Bible and I added the Apocrypha to the KHEV because I wanted it. And if I go to GRB is the Greek Bible. So here is our—okay, I guess that is not working. I guess the encoding is messed up here. I'm trying to think what. Oops.

I might just need a font for this to be honest. Do I have no fonts instead?

H, it's already installed. All right, I'll figure out what's going on with the Greek one. But KGV. Oh, wait. What am I doing? KJV, Genesis. There we go. You look up individual verses.

Look at that. Let's read the book of Luke.

Is this guy like Terry Davis? Yeah, that's right. Actually, maybe I should bring back the chat. We'll just do it this way, kids. We'll just do it this way. Oh god, look at all that. There's too much chat. That's you. I don't care.

All right. What do you want to read, kids? Give me a good Bible verse. Do the bag of adita yet next. I don't actually know how that's organized, but I probably could do it. Is it organized into Greek or Greek into verses and stuff?

So, we can do let's read some more. Let's read Vulgate Luke while we read the Vulgate or no, the KGV Luke.

Look at that. Line by line. One thing that helped me when I learned Greek. Where is it?

Oh, here it is. One of the ways that I actually went about learning Greek is had this blogotic Bible. So, you might be able to see there. So Greek and Latin, I knew Latin at the time and I sort of knew the basic grammar of Greek. So I just went through the—I literally like this is me in high school. I was—you might think I'm a little eccentric now, but I was eccentric back in high school as well, because people wouldn't be able to figure me out. Like I obviously think I was a teen atheist back then. But I did bring this Bible to school every day and I just read from it like all the time because I was learning Greek from it basically just in comparison with the Latin. Um, the Greek—well, I will say, okay, who is this Latin translation from? Aras Montano. I think it's really weird the Latin translation. I forget how exactly. It's just like an era of Latin you don't really see that often. The Greek is pretty weird, too. Well, no, it's not as weird as the Latin is, but the Latin is like really late. We'll just put it that way. It's more vulgar than the Vulgate. But, um, yeah, in high school, I'd just like not do anything and I'd like literally read from the Bible. Um, and that's how I learned languages. And when I, um, I remember having a sociology class that was a waste. That was a waste. But I just like skipped it most of the time and like went to the library and read—they had this really book. For whatever reason, my high school had this huge volume on biblical exegesis. And I just read that. That's what I was interested in. Again, I was like a teen atheist. I was a major league fedora tipper, but I was really interested in biblical exegesis. So that's what I did back in the period.

Luke, did you get bullied? No, I'm not. I'm not really the—you guys have seen what I looked like in high school. I don't get bullied. No.

Oh, it's far too attractive. Imagine me but with hair. Actually, maybe I have a—oh, okay. That's an okay picture of me. This is me in high school. That's me.

Uh, I guess that was 16, 17, something like that. Pretty sure that was my junior year. But um yeah, and I also obviously if you look at that I don't look like the kind of guy who would like read a Bible in school or whatever. That's not you. We saw that. No, that's me. That's 100% me. I mean, I can show you. Let's see. You may have seen my picture with hair.

Puberty must have hit you hard. No. Puberty hit me fine.

All right. John 8:44. What's John 8:44? Let's find out.

It's going to be something about—wait. 8:44. It's going to be something about the Jews, isn't it?

Oh, wait. Am I even—no, I'm not even sharing my screen with you.

Yeah, it's probably something about the Jews.

Teenage Luke a bugman? Yeah, I was. That's why I'm so anti-bugman because I've already done all these bugman things.

Atheism is literally like the cringest and bluepilled things.

Uses Arch Linux and hates 3G. What's wrong with hating 3G? Bugman need 3G.

I'm a zoomer and no bugman. Will the bugmanship await me in my boomer years? I mean, bugmanship is something you accept into your heart. I mean, it's nothing that you can do, you know, involuntarily. It's something you convince yourself that's good.

Right. So, I'll probably stop the stream just cuz I'm getting a little tired or at least there haven't been enough super cummies for me to continue for now. So, I'll probably put the memes on the site just while I have some time. And uh I don't know. I might do with We'll see what I'm going to do with it. We'll see. But, uh Yang Gang is no joke. There's no irony in it. Oh, I actually well I have something to say about irony supporting things ironically, but that's probably worth its own video. Can you do a video on how we can read books on the command line? I'll I was going to do a video on my Bible repos relatively soon. If you followed my if you follow my blog, which if you go to my website, it'll be there. You can get my RSS link, but you can um you can uh get all the Bibles that I Bible repos that I put up.

All right. Now, have I answered all the super chats and all that stuff? Let me double check. If you have any last minute super chats, send them in now. Um actually, there are a couple I guess I didn't see a second ago.

Give me one second for that. So you have a little more time. Okay, hold on. So pair two sends in two UROs. I don't think he has any comment with it. Doesn't look like it, but thank you. And another one from Michael Roberts. 1,00 huffs.

Forget my word huffs again. Hungarian, right? Current see.

Okay, so your thousand huffs, which is maybe like three $4 or something. Uh, he says, "Have you considered doing a stream with Survive the Jive? Seems like you have a lot in common: politics, languages, philosophy, etc. Would be interesting to watch." Um, I mean, I watch his channel. I mean, I'm definitely open to it. I don't know if he knows about—I actually, you know what? I feel like he's commented on one of my videos, so he might know that I'm out here, but um, you know, I might have even thought about um I don't know if he has a public email address, so I don't know how it's comment him because I'm just the boomer. I don't know anything about commenting or contacting people. But I mean, if he contacts me and he wants to do something, I'm definitely open to it. Um, actually, yeah, I think that'd be a good idea. But I don't know him. Uh, I haven't met him, we'll just say that, before. And I think there was a super chat just a second ago.

And that was uh actually a couple um 20 rubles from uh some Cyrillic name. Sorry, it's not showing up on my computer. I don't have fonts installed on this other laptop. Um but uh no comments with that. Robert Smith sends another two bucks. Says, "Any plans for vids about Similac and simulation?" I've not read that. So, um I don't know unless I read it and uh that's the it's one of the ones that was like in the Matrix, right? It's one of those postmodern books, I think. I don't really know that much about it. So, and then $2 from David Kramer. He says, "Here's two dollins." Thank you, Similac. Or is this a short read?

Cyberpunk bloat. I was going to I said matrix. I was going to say Deus Ex though, but it's I'm pretty sure it is the matrix. But uh anyway, if you do a stream with Survive the Jive, it will turn into a passive aggressive totally not bashing Var bashing. I mean, I don't have anything. I know that he has reason to dislike Var just because Var like is always sniping at him. But um I don't have anything against Var. I'm much more Var positive than he is. Even though I do basically think that everything that Var says in terms of like his theory of mythology I don't really take seriously. Um, but I'm not I'm not like I don't think I'm as angered with it as he as Survive the Jive is just because Var hasn't gone out to attack me personally in the way that he's apparently gets really butthurt about Survive the Jive.

Thoughts on people like Black Pigeon and Devon Stack. I don't know those. I think Black Pigeon is a YouTuber. I don't know any—I think he's to the left of me. Then again, it's hard to find someone who isn't.

What should I do if I'm an atheist? Go back in time and tell your mom not to give you vaccines.

Head vein still popping. Which side is it on today? Oh man, it's on the right side. Pisses me off. Pisses me off.

It was the state who gave me vaccines though. What? Your government gives you vaccines? Where do you live?

That's why I have veins on the side of my head cuz my brain is just too, just too enormous.

How are vaccines bad for you? Vaccines aren't bad for me. They make people autistic and therefore they watch my YouTube channel.

Maximillian 2000 donated $2. Best mech keyboard. I'm just learning touch typing. I've never used a mechanical keyboard. I use a buckling spring keyboard, which some people call a mechanical keyboard, but that's like older than mechanical keyboards. But yeah, I use a Unicomp keyboard, which I guess in some sense for most of the reasons people like mechanical keyboards, buckling spring keyboards are better, but um they're way louder. I mean, you could probably hear my typing is pretty loud. And there's no way to dampen it. You can't like get dampeners or anything for it unless you like go in and change things or put in softness or some kind of foam, you know.

But, uh, by some definitions, a buckling spring keyboard is a mechanical keyboard, but I wouldn't really think of it as being one because it doesn't have—I mean, it doesn't really have the mechanism portion. It's just a spring and stuff.

Why the map over the bed? Literally, it's just I had a map and I don't really have free wall space, so I just I'll just put it over. I could put it in my other room, but I feel like there's nothing else there. Be a little lame if I just had blank space. On this side, I have some sound dampeners and I have—you can't see that, but there's a thing there. We'll just say. And then my window obviously on that side. So, which model of Unicomp? The Endura Pro? Although pretty much any model of a Unicomp keyboard is going to be the same kind of thing. It's just like what perks you have with it. You know, I have the mouse—the mouse. Some people want the little rolling mouse thing. They have Unicomp keyboards with that. Some people just want the old stuff with a normal keyboard. Some people want the PS2 ones. They have those.

Looks good with the bookshelf. Very office feel. Oh, yeah. I guess this is sort of my office even though I have my bed in here, too.

All right. Would you get the Kinesis Advantage keyboard? No. I think it was too expensive. All these keyboards are actually just way too expensive. I mean, the Endura Pros, I mean, these buckling spring keyboards from Unicomp, they're actually relatively cheap, even in terms of mechanical keyboards. I mean, they're all pretty much just like a hundred bucks. But some mechanical keyboards will be like way, you know, way too way more expensive than that. We'll just say that. Why do Sovs hate C? Because they don't know C. It see is hard. I don't know it. I'm just going to use I don't know what's assive language.

Thoughts on Alex Jones's take on post-birth abortion? I think Alex Jones's take on post-birth abortion is pretty much the normal moral response of any non-brainwashed human. Thoughts on Roov? I like Roov. I've actually been—I only started following him at the last part of last year, but his streams are really good. His streams are better than my streams, of course, because I don't actually prepare for any of my streams, but uh yeah, when I get home from church, sometimes I'll tune in to Roov, but I like his stuff. I never really followed him until he got banned from everything. Then I was like, "Okay, well, this guy probably has something important to say." And I actually bought his most recent book, which um I don't regret. I mean it's about, you know, it's like pickup artistry stuff but um I think most people understand Roov is the kind of guy he used to do the picking up girls kind of stuff, now he sort of morphed into social commentary and I guess he has sort of also from his own perspective come to reject the bugman lifestyle that he lived in for so many years and so he's focused on, you know, well we'll just say his commentary is good so Roov should be should check him out. Luke PUA confirmed. No, Luke is not PUA. I never did that stuff. I'm not into that kind of stuff.

Even when I was Peak Bug Man, I actually didn't do that.

I mean, not I'm not like, you know, pooping on anyone who did do that, but, you know, I'm just saying I didn't.

TB said Peterson is a charlatan on Twitter. I don't disagree.

Taleb does say a lot of stuff, but yeah, Jordan Peterson I mean I sort of had patience for him when he first became popular. I was like, "Okay, well, he owns the libs or whatever. He makes them pissed off, so he must be okay." But let's just say he said some things and I'm like, "Okay, bud. Okay, guy." That's like a little too—I don't know. He's like an extraordinary cook.

Um, yeah, and he's also sort of fast and loose with some things. I think that goes without saying. Um, fast and loose with the ideas he purports to address and stuff like that, but that doesn't bother me. I mean, in the sense that whatever a lot of people are, but um, you have to look at what he means esoterically. But I'll just say that I don't really—well, I never recommend him, but I don't necessarily pay that much attention to him now.

Python not about speed. Yeah, that's what a soy dev says. I mean, speed just isn't important in this context.

How is it that every damn stream gets onto Jordan Peterson? I've never actually talked about—I have nothing to say about him. People always ask and I'll just mention it in passing, but I don't really know anything about what this guy says other than he makes people mad. I mean, he makes the bad people mad and he makes some guys who I don't know are looking for something in the world. He attracts people like that. But um yeah, he's definitely not a place you can end your journey. I don't really think of him as being that, you know.

Is the connection between lambda calculus and linguistics a meme? I probably think it's a meme. I mean, it's funny to me when people use lambda calculus in like formal semantics or something as if it does—it doesn't. Well, I'll just say I don't think it has any relevance for anything. I think of most of formal analysis of human language as being utterly useless. Um, but people do it just because I don't know it looks smart or something. Even though it's people—a lot of people in the field do it like robotically, but the idea that this formalization gives you some deep insight about human language, I think is silly.

Luke, why don't you play some Minecraft for us? Don't talk about—don't try look forward to that. That's not going to happen. Real thoughts on Chomsky. I already did a video. I did like an hour and a half video on Chomsky. You can look it up yourself.

Why do you only have a goatee? I don't really have a goatee. I mean, goatee people usually just refer to if I don't have a mustache, just have a beard, it's a goatee. Well, some people use it differently, I guess. Thoughts on Jack? I don't have any thoughts on Jack. There's nothing to think about him.

All right. I'm only going to go for a couple more minutes and I'm going to leave. You know, maybe I should do something more like Roov where I actually prepare a stream and go over topics. I'm going to think about doing that. If you have any last minute donations, send them in now. Otherwise, I'm going to close out in a couple minutes because I'm pretty hungry. I gotta have one. I got to have my one enormous meal of the day. Actually, that's not entirely true. I actually had toast this morning. Although, I'm too anrim to have a toaster, so I just put it on, um, just put it on the range, cooked it on, you know, a pan. Uh, Sinn sent in five bucks. Nice stream. Thanks. All the ism are theories from someone. All the ism or theories. Okay. I'm not quite sure what that means, but thank you, Sven. He donated a good bit last stream, too. So, what's the name of the video where Luke talks about Chomsky? Well, just search my name and search Noam Chomsky. Actually, we'll see if it comes out. Chomsky Luke Smith.

Yeah, it's the first one. Literally has my face and Noam Chomsky's face in it. You should be able to find it. Well, actually, let's do it together, kids. Let's do it together. You know that site that like Redditors will link to that's like, "Let me Google that for you." Well, let me Google that for you. YouTube Chomsky Luke Smith. See what pops up. Oh, look at that. Look at that. Okay, it wasn't an hour and a half. It was more like 45 minutes. Whatever. But you can get it there. We could watch it here. Oh, let's—oh my god. Let's watch my stream. Oh, let's—oh my god. Now this is high quality content.

Wow. Okay, this is epic.

Now, this—okay. Uh, I think I had one last donation. Oh, yeah. There's a super chat. Let me turn that off.

You should rank programming languages from Incel to Soy Dev. I don't know if Incel is the right word, but yeah, I understand what you mean. Maybe I should.

Is that a JoJo reference? Oh, yeah. It is a JoJo reference now, isn't it? Okay.

Donations. Don't want to miss any. Don't want to miss any. Okay, guys. So, I'm probably going to close it off.

What happened to the other guy? That was my roommate at the time. But he's not it. He wasn't edgy enough to continue our podcast.

Yep. See you guys next time. I have to um probably going to have I I'm definitely going to have a video come out tomorrow and I'm probably going to be making some more videos soon. I still have a couple videos left over from from when I was in the country that I might release. Some of them I I was less happy with. I might re-record. They were like Boomer Ranson Woods videos. But um yeah, I think uh I think that's about it. So I will see you guys next time. So I'm going to turn it off and I'll I'll probably finish the website in a bit.
