We're told over and over again our attention spans are getting shorter - everyone will tell you that. but not me. i don’t think so. this video is proof of that. Carl Jung once said "i need someone to tell me what to think" - therefore everything i watch becomes everything i think there is a reward at the end of this video and you get smarter by listening to me and i'll tell you what to think so don’t worry. i am offering you something and i have the answer - be patient there is a point. you should not look at things you don’t like or be exposed to things that could be damaging to your brain - they could damage your brain. people you don’t like might look at that thing so you better not look at any of that. someone who you want to like you might think that’s kinda weird. so be very very careful. everything you watch becomes everything you think you should burn those books and change books and correct the past - a revisionist history is actually good - we change the history if we don’t like it. there you go. but here’s the main thesis of this video - the problem with ai… is that i farted. there are all these guys on the internet that solved all my problems already. blood boy, andrew huberman. anybody talking about self help and sellin' some shit - i wanna be like these guys… so i take their supplements. and they solve my problems and i'm better now. uh we just get mentally stronger as we dumb ourselves into sleep ~ counting sheep. But don’t forget that to be in a flock, there must be a shepherd – lucky for you everything is handled for you. by me. and then there’s all these guys that have something to offer me - a meaning - and if it’s not god its something else. a group, you can be part of. you have to act in this way like everyone else - and you become that. embody that. thank you. everything i watch becomes everything i think - and i say this again because it makes my point really good. it’s my catchphrase in this video. the problem with ai - is that everyone wants to make you afraid. but i just farted. the worst thing you can do is be afraid. and heres an advice moment. it’ll be good actually. everything will be handled for you. so we can focus on things that are important to us like making prompts for mid journey. have you ever seen that movie walle? that’d be good actually. we'll be in a spaceship watching a hundred and ninety hour ai movie of ‘busty elvish female holding oar in canoe anime evangelion schoolgirl anya taylor joy face afraid with michael cera poker genre and fast and furious”. my brain fire off like it got hit by ODIN the norse hyperborean to charge autonomous vehicles that use ai from spiderman. and these guys with this nietzche shit. enough already man. like does everyone wanna re-interpet this dude to fit some random fuckin ideology? everybody already has the answer for you. seriously don’t try to think for yourself. read a fucking “take” or something. everybody you see on the internet is an expert now. especially me. we’re cultural curators and we are all offering something, just keep that in mind. everything you watch makes you everything you are. video essays, are for smart people. everything we see is actually real so keep this in mind. remember we are currently getting smarter as this video goes on and at the end there is a big payoff so please keep going – skipping to the end does not work because this is a video essay and you need to remember that this is a longform thought so please try to pay attention. Propoganda is only in reference to the military or china – everything else is real and not showbusiness. You are not a conspiracy theorist because you have theorized nothing. you get no credit all you did was watch a video essay. I just want to state that I have a Bachelors degree in the fine arts, have launched and scaled multiple crypto shit coins rug pulls, and am running for senator and made 8 figures last year on multifamily housing and selling exotic cars and you can too if you act just like me. practical advice is difficult to come by nowadays – so I watch endless video essays - i watch alot of these video essays about it with stock footage and royalty free music. I hope they have something to sell me at the end to totally fix my life. I am now a corporate lobbyist for big tobacco making sure people get ZYN’s – pouch tobacco has just been invented again! theres candy in it now! Copenhagen longcut is out and peach skoal and grizzly wintergreen is out now its time to pack a lip of zyns. Nicotine is actually good for you now... i mean i could smoke this shit all day. I can barely wait for ai – pop psychology psyops on instagram – just one big experiment to see if we can hypnotize ourselves into astrology therapy. I have your answer – you’re an anxiously attached fucking autistic virgo, with a rising libra and capricorn moon, high in neurotisim with low extraversion, with a masculine temperament and unintegrated childhood trauma - ISFJ – type a blood type and uh blonde hair. The fucking astrology lobbyists better storm the capital or something because we need saving. Everyone else has the answer except for you. experts are experts but careful of what they are selling you. careful of what is being offered. It will solve your problems. Just be careful what comes in the backdoor when you aren’t looking. So what is the point of this? Everything I think is like some advertisement? there must be a reason we don’t like the ads on the superbowl anymore… tv was just ad space – too bad. now theres hydrochloric acid in the sky. Vril and norse gods, ancient deties in antarctica. the same ones everywhere with different names passing down the knowledge in exchange for something new. or something old. in exchange for what? Power? What could they possibly want with us? They want to come to our world – to be brought into physical form –the high priests, the demigods the children of gods – those who could stand the sheer bigness of the old ones – the size of oceans revealing themselves to us. the only problem is... i just farted. and as shakespeare said. As flies to wanton boys are we to th' gods: They kill us for their sport.
