Why Elon Musk Isn't Special
Citizen Kane is the classic American film about a wealthy man's rise and fall from power, played by the brilliant Orson Welles. It is based on the life of William Randolph Hearst, a media magnate whose empire still exists today. It's the tale of power and corruption, the role of the elites in America and how one man shapes a nation. In the movie, Kane takes over the New York Inquirer and I couldn't help but see the parallels between the Inquirer and Twitter, specifically Elon Musk's takeover of that platform. The same way that Hearst in real life and Kane in the film pioneered yellow journalism, Musk is manipulating Twitter to fit his needs. It is also the story of how wealth and power ca...

The Essence of America: Exploring Our Nation’s Soul | Independence Day July 4th Philosophy Analysis
Просмотров 2921 день назад
It’s the 4th of July today and like any birthday it’s a chance to re-evaluate ourselves as a nation. To look within and find our soul as a nation state. While a nation is an abstract entity unlike a human being, I believe that it can have a soul just like a person does. An inner driving feeling, an energy that guides us and in the case of America it is the idea of total freedom. The idea that i...

Futurism is a long-forgotten artistic movement that espoused destroying the past to build the future. It was art that focused on capturing the dynamic nature of the future and the speed and functionality devoid of romanticism.

The Yellowstone Universe and The Batman are both popular media properties that also capture the essence of two different political movements in the U.S. today. If we look at our politics from a bird’s eye view, perhaps we can find some empathy and understanding of how different environments and situations can cause people to espouse different politics. Yellowstone paints the picture of a world ...

In our time of political division and rising extremism, we need a hero. We'll get a zero instead with comedian Jon Stewart back on the Daily show on comedy central. Jon is an interesting pubic figure, offering a both side view of politics. Critics of his work will say that he is dated, that politics in the modern age is too aggressive and trying to take a balanced view doesn't work anymore. But...
Star Trek's MOST IMPORTANT Lesson

Star Trek the original series was the original program that sparked the Trekkie phenomenon as we know it today. But it holds up on its own even today as a great example of how a modern mechanized world can still value humans. In 2024, it feels like humans are less and less important, our world is more and more geared towards machines with the obsessions around productivity and money. But in Sta...

But it doesn't have to be that way, we can choose to reclaim the light of the holidays. We can engage with the holidays from a secular, moral, and joyful space, cutting away the plastic facade of the...

Why The Atomic Bomb isn't What Should Frighten Us - Oppenheimer
Israel corrupts. Just look at what happened to musk and all his recent walkbacks and moves after his visit
X is not a publisher of news, it's a social media channel everybody is quite welcome to post. And since Musk's takeover, the algorithm is now open source. You're quite welcome to check it yourself for biases.
Jai ELon Musk 🎉
grew up in South Africa during the apartheid years and met hundreds of white men like Musk. We were taught that racism is not racism but a natural understanding that as you don't mix cucumbers and tomatoes, this alleged "natural order of things" demanded we separate "un-mixable" cultures such as black and white people. Musk inherited the Afrikaaner's Calvinistic dominion-ism from the Dutch Reformist Church which incidentally also created an extreme version of patriarchy. His wife Justine told me once that during their wedding's bridal dance, Musk chose that moment to say "I am the alpha in this relationship" South Africa taught many white men that dominance was their natural birth right and Musk seems to have completely failed to unlearn this lesson. The African philosophy of Ubuntu solved many reconciliation problems in SA via the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Musk had left SA before this form of justice became the new SA's reality and instead preserved his (and many other SA men's) undeserved privilege of dominance. A grotesque version of this dominance is his father's recent marriage to his step daughter and siring children with her. Thus making Musk's sister his mother in law and his former brothers are now his nephews. Not to forget how Musk's eldest son is now transitioning and this was the moment that Musk - who previously claimed to be socially tolerant - started raging against young people and their preferred pursuit of freedom I've been permanently banned from Twitter for copyrighting the moniker 'Apar-𝕏-eid' and Musk's lawyers are now threatening me with legal and financial extinction. Dominance in race, marriage, politics, media and his father's "Harem" seems kosher Losing dominance seems to trigger an existential crisis in the poor chap which also might explain his need to retreat into Ketamine solitude
dam I love all your videos....dope
Well, thank you for watching!
I remember watching the movie in the cinema with my dad. Thinking about that time feels so nostalgic.
Really great video and insightful words. Should make everyone think about themselves.
so...this is very well done..you will not get much views or likes...but you get my sub...well done. I would call this...a remix..a sample and hip hop. I hope you understand the complement. if not...use it...keep going...be you..this is...art
I understand, thank you so much!
Slow down on the narration! What's the hurry? It is a wonderful series and your comments, though articulate, are too rushed.
Whoever killed the Internet want to push "climate change kill everyone in earth before the war on terror truly ends, let alone humanity stepped foot on mars or reached type 1 civilization" propaganda bullshit Back to digimon, when Digimon franchise no longer limit the species of superpowered beings to titular creatures, it has already gone with all new kids and universes, reinforcing out-of-placeness of non-digimon superbeings in first 2 seasons of digimon(and it's sequels such as tri, kizuna, and even 02 the beginning)
I love this essay video! (Also Digimon 02 the beginning movie is there now)
“Love interest for Tai” I can’t with y’all dub watchers. I’m clicking off
That is not the worst thing to take from the Dub. Also, I think people unironically ship Yamato and Taichi so the problem isn't just dub watchers. The moment they said Digimon the movie instead of just Our War Game I knew they were Dub only and hadn't really checked out the Japanese version, they just knew it existed. Let's not forget in the Dub Alaska is apparently north of Japan.
@@numberhunter62 Well that’s just shipping in general, the difference with Taichi x Yamato is that no one claimed that the series intended for them to be together unlike the dub writers and watchers and don’t get me wrong I personally love Taichi x Sora, the dub writers probably did too, but I know that they never existed anywhere in canon
If anything the Ye Wenjie plot tells us that access to radio telescopes must be put under strict control - they need to be treated as dangerous weapons of self destruction. Ye Wenjie acting as an "anti-swordholder" in the first book of the trilogy is a warning.
oooh fellow Matt enjoyer ❤
Hell yeah I love talking about digimon
Me too
As do I.
Good content!
Glad you enjoyed it!
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
On Earth, the resources are coming to an end, and that is why we are having more wars, genocide, nuclear threat😮
Fascinating analysis. I wish you had more exposure I appreciate your videos
Wow thank you!
it's not the "war" in gaza it's the "genocide" in gaza,otherwise great vid
Im very impressed with your work!!!! New sub 🎉
Thanks for subbing!
100%
Climate change is a natural process of the earth and humans are incapable of controlling it, causing it or stopping it!
Though I don't agree with his politics, I find Ronald Reagan's statement to be quite relevant: "I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask you, is not an alien force already among us? What could be more alien to the universal aspirations of our peoples than war and the threat of war?" I can only imagine how much we could achieve if we united as a species against a singular threat. But then again, we fail to come together against poverty, hunger, disease, and war.
Wishing you success. Thank you for your Interesting content
You sound like Jin
Really interesting, thanks for all your work on this one Stroopy. Made me think, and taught me some things I didn't know about.
That's what I hoped to achieve! Thank you!
Buttons are made to be pushed. Sooner or later someone will push the button.
Without the relative lens from an imaginary superior race of aliens, human society or culture by itself outside of the fiction is completely meaningless. And without someone assign a meaning to it, I really don't think human culture is worth condemning or cheering for, it is just what it is. I think three body did a fantastic job in the context building, which can put a lot of human values in perspective of something whether it be social stability or scientific progression, etc. and more impressively, it lands well into the character motivation and building. Without these masterfully done elements, I think a person will soon realize how meaningless their life is truly. Even in the context of the three body novels, vast majority of humans are not even worthy of any attention from the aliens, only the most intelligent and capable is considered "human". Ironic to say the least when thinking about what random individuals mean in a human society.
To clarify, we're never told what the San-Ti/Trisolarans look like in the book. It's all guess work from fans
"Redemption of Time" was authorized by Liu Cixin - and while not considered "canon" at least it may give us an idea.
Loved the video
Thanks!
Excellent video - I enjoyed your analysis
Thank you!
came here for 3 body lore left with some philosophy 5 out of 7
Thank you I agree and thank God for Jon Stewart
Hey guys, thanks for all the comments! Just wanted to say, if you like my video, please check out some of the others on my channel page. Thanks! Link: www.youtube.com/@stroopythestroopwaffle
I share your choice of heroes. Stewart and Oliver are the smartest funnymen going! (funniest smartmen?) I feel smarter - well, better informed - after watching them, and I definitely don't feel depressed or pessimistic about the future. Chin up, young people are our future. That means you.
Missed you
"U" ARE RIGHT ✅️ ...Keep it up' up and up..Thanks U...
This was written pretty well! 👍
you nailed it. Wouldn't it be a wonderful world if we had Jon Stewart as POTUS with John Oliver as VP? I have been primed in fight or flight mode since the Dumpster announced his candidacy. The spring release is twisted so tight. I listen to Jon and see the reality of the danger we are in for the genuine threat that it is. We need to resist the fascism.
What fascism
This was a great video very level headed. I hope to see more in the future!
This was a great video. I'm glad it came up
For a more balanced source of news I'd advise looking at the app Ground News. It's a news aggregate that gets news from wll sides and compares them oh political leaning and factuality. It really allows you to gain a wider understanding
I forgot to respond to this, but thank you so much for this recommendation! I've been using it for a few weeks now and my brain feels so much better! It sounds stupid, but its true!
@@stroopythestroopwaffle don't worry about it 🙂 that sounds great though! I'm glad it's helping and no it doesn't sound stupid!
Very nice job. Great message and pacing of the content. Definitely gonna check out your other videos
Refreshing from RUclips algorithm. I was worried I won't find anything fresh without unsubscribing from like 1000+ channels. Love this view, I share it. Sucks that I live in a way worse country, but most of my country's decisions are made with a nod from US Embassy, so US politics matters in some way for me too. Also I have to say I share the same notion on anxiety as well... Damn. Hitting point after point. <3
Thank you so much! Sorry to hear about that, I know U.S. foreign policy is far reaching and a mess
Really well put, glad to come across your channel. Keep up the good work and great videos!
Thanks for the sub, will do!
Let's be real, none of the MAGA republicans will watch The Daily show. Also Americans are notoriously stubborn in changing their mind.
True, we all crave stability, somewhere along the way that became the American dream rather than freedom. Still, it is healthy to have hope.
Great take on this.
As a FoxNews Dad and most likely not your target audience, I think you did a nice job. Video has really good pacing and you are very articulate. looks like your channel is young but I think you will do very well. i look forward to more videos.
You are exactly my target audience, my goal here is to reach everyone because ultimately we are all people and Americans. Thank you so much for watching and I appreciate your comment!
4 more years of Biden is not gonna help your anxiety. The only thing that it helps is that it wouldn't be 4 years of trump. So liberals and democrats actually perpetuate the exact fear that you are struggling with. "No solutions, but atleast maybe less stress". Jon stewart is prompting the party of "hush hush until you accept the new normal", which is perpetual anxiety and fear.
I suppose that is somewhat accurate, I do feel though, that Biden (while provoking anxiety as an individual) is at least bolstered by a decent team. I know that he's not perfect, but at least his people are trying. You should watch my Trump video, I sort of talk about this. The one thing that I find to be really helpful is to believe what Jon said at the end of his Biden/Trump video which is that the work of politics and making a better world is done by a lot of people silently over time. I do think that a lot of anxiety is just the media, everything could be fine or status quo for the last 20 years and they would still find something to stress us all out because they need clicks and money. I was going to mention that in this video but I wanted to focus on my main point of Jon and his perspective.
