Armored Skeptic from 10 years ago would be ashamed at what he's become
There's evidence to support the idea that he was always like this, just kept it hidden.
Why? Because he made a satirical youtube channel?
@Eduard Olaru how is it satirical when he explicitly said in the series that he's always been this person and that armoured skeptic was the facade
@@babanovac0232 if it's satire than he's completely lost the plot on what the satire is supposed to be
@@theonetruefishboy3239 To be honest, I haven't seen many people who have more common sense, analytical thinking and life experience regarding cults than Armored Skeptic. If you know his past, it's much easier to realize how absurd and ridiculous he tries to present pseudo-science in his videos. The problem is that, really, he takes his role far too seriously, and the world is starting to get the impression that this is how he actually thinks.
Dude got hit with the divorce energy without being actually married ever. Crazy.
two internet content creators breaking up is socially equivalent to divorce, I'd say
He was married, he got divorced when he took up with Shoeonhead
There's an inherent narcissist attitude in the way he presents his arguments. In one of your previous videos going over Greg's weird shit, he made the comment, "I figured this out without really putting effort in, so imagine what you can do if you try." To him, that will come across as a nice way to pump other people up. To me, it's just an obvious humble brag.
I was surprised at how quickly he started calling the powerful ancient race of giants “white”
Were you, though?
Tbf, he didn't come up with these racist conspiracy theories. He just really wants to believe in them.
The idea that an ancient culture could draw something fictional never seems to cross his mind.
Which is so weird because he already seems to have no idea how downtime worked before the internet.
We should all just start burying our random doodles so that the Greg's of the future call us gods.
If Armored Skeptic starts reading the Book of Mormon, his head is going to explode.
Skeptic also has like 2 hour long podcasts about these conspiracies as well not just this series. It’s unfortunately not a troll.
Fun fact: Armored Skeptic peaked when he was banging Shoe to a point where most people forgot he was ever a thing after she split on him
Imagine becoming completely irrelevant because you no longer satisfy the Vaush Man's Burden
I stayed subbed to him for years only because I wanted to see the titles of these crazy ass videos. Now and again he'd just pop up in my notifications with something about Atlantis or aliens and I'd be like "oh yeah, that guy, crazy" then proceed to never watch it
More like tin "armoured" tick.
Even though they weren't married, he gives off major divorce dad energy
@@CadillacEulogy He was married and divorced before dating Sh0e so that might be what you're detecting
@@Monomiknose Jesus no wonder he's like this
I THINK armoured skeptic actually works even better now. someone who thinks themself a skeptic that has shielded his mind away from actual critical thought and outside input. his armor is protecting his fragile theory. its the dunning kruger of skepticism
I sure as hell find him more entertaining now, but not in the way he intended.
He has become…Reiner Braun.
Armored Echochamber
He forgot the most important part: they had big cone heads to harness the electricity in the air around them.
Not nearly enough ridicule is lobbed at white supremacists for a lot of their rhetoric stemming from the belief that POC are blocking their psychic powers.
The way he talks about native Americans, tells me he thinks they all look the same, some natives have lighter hair and/or skin or different tones or eye shape can vary and so on
You mean an entire race of people doesn't look exactly the same whattttttttt !?!?!??
Greg thinks people living in settlements needed someone to come down and grant them the revolutionary divine idea of _"Hey, what if we build a bigger one of these?""_ ?
you know how the only time you will hear a religious person almost get it right about theism is when they are criticizing the other religions. that was the only way greg was a skeptic. he was throwing stones from inside his own glass house
Not even a mutation. You can bind a child's skull and it will grow like that. It's part of why the Romans thought of Scythians as 'alien monsters'.
Isn't that already known fact?
That and the invention of pants.
How do you get rid of the bone sutures that are normally present in a human skull?
@@blackpanther3912 who the fuck cares
@@hand13932 someone cared enough to talk about it in a video or two
"It's all a joke bro, he's just spreading uncritical 'evidence' as fact for long stretches of time presented as entirely serious but he totally breaks character sometimes! This can't possibly encourage conspiratorial thinking in his audience, especially those who only see one or two videos of his!" - Greg defenders in the comment section.
Like genuinely it doesn't matter if it's a character or its a joke or he debunks it in a separate video. If you present a conspiracy as fact (even exaggerated as a character, it's no different from actual conspiracy theorists), and you leave the debunk to another video, a viewer is far less likely to see the debunk and only come away with the conspiracy. If it's satire it's extremely irresponsible satire because it doesn't do the work to ensure that every viewer is in on the joke, since apparently only avid Greg fans think he's joking. So imagine how a conspiratorially minded person would see it
Not to mention that if his intent were to debunk conspiracy theories, he could simply respond to any of the hundreds of videos positing these same conspiracy theories.
@@FrozEnbyWolf150 just like he used too, dudes definitely fell for the conspiracies.
Does he debunk these theories in other videos? It would be a relief, I never liked the guy that much but I would be glad to learn he didn’t go crazy and he is just hustling.
58:30 We all want to be dominated by muscular giantesses, but we keep that to ourselves instead of broadcasting it to the Internet, Greg.
Annie Leonhart…!
He was Armoured Skeptic, now he just Armoured.
I think Armoured Septic is probably the best name.
I'd call him the Hollow Knight if that wasn't so insulting to a great game
He took is armour off so I guess we should just call him “ “ now.
16:15 I’m Italian and I’ve never been offended ever by anyone making fun of Italians until today 😂
I think it's pretty obvious that the reason Greg started this series the way he did, he already believed all this shit, but knew he couldn't just hard turn his current audience into ancient aliens and mud floods without soft rolling them into it first.
He's literally one head injury from arguing that mountain ranges are comically oversized dragons alongside Roger at Mudfossil.
Greg's bg music had me pausing repeatedly trying to figure out if my roommate (passed out on the couch rn) is having massive bass farts, if my cat (right underneath my work desk) is having massive bass farts, or if the chair at said work desk is just so poorly oiled that every movement of mine makes it sound like I'm having massive bass farts.
I think the gorilla “fin” he’s referring to is the saggital crest. Idk I took Anthro 1 years ago
I hope these rabbit hole deep dives just keep coming. They are so satisfying to watch as someone who outgrew watching this dude as a stupid teenager
I'm just going to point out that if a population of blonde haired people were isolated from the rest of humanity, and then the blonde genes in the larger human population went extinct, someone like Greg would conclude that there were Human/Blonde hybrids rather than consider a divergence.
I stopped watching him years ago. I had hoped this tinfoil thing was just a phase. Tbh I the only old athiest youtube show I miss is the Bible Reloaded with Hannah and Jake. Greg wasn't as good as Logicked, and I always felt Logicked only lost in popularity due to how his videos weren't as dumbed down.
Logicked is really good at saying all the really smart stuff to debunk a claim so dumb no one needs debunked and cracking jokes about it in the process. Wish he did more old school creationists these days.
Kinda fun to see AS reproduce speculations which were mostly fueled by racism and then emphasizing the "not racism" behind his ideas. I won't lean myself out the window to call him a racist, but he has an astonishing lack of awareness where the whole pre-astronautic genre comes from. Most of the writers have rather dubious political leanings in either one or more topics.
It serves as a vessel to deny people of color any form of civilization. Any development they ever made is explained away with them breeding with aliens.
So what a lot of ancient alien people don’t get is the fact that color is itself a metaphorical tool within mythological structures. The color of somebody’s skin often tell you something about their personality. This is why certain gods were green, and others were blue and some more pure white. This is not about white people or aliens, it’s something we won’t really get because we don’t think like our ancestors did. At the end of the day, Ancient aliens are a tool for those who cannot handle the simple idea of not knowing. We will never know the world of our ancestors. we will never truly know how they’re achieved such miraculous feats and at the end of the day, we have to kind of be OK with that. Otherwise you go down a bad rabbit hole.
I really think Greg is just doing a creative writing project for the memes and money, then again that could be that last sliver of good will in me hanging on for hope and nostalgia’s sake
I think this series did start out that way but he fell down his own rabbit hole along the way. He used to debunk his hyperbolic conspiracy theory vids as part of a thought exercise but I don't think he even bothers with that at this point. Could be wrong.
Him raving about the Medusa Phoenix demonic sun god which will descend upon the Earth when the secret lost star Astaroth, hidden behind a veil of stellar debris, rises into position above the Earth and nullifies its magnetic field for three days... was the point where I went "I think this man is either schizophrenic, or is so apocalyptically pilled that he might as well be."
This is literally a H.P Lovecraft story. This guy's been playing way too much Call of Cthulhu.
He has bundled Cthulhu with ancient gods so yeah.
Greg going crazy is so fucking funny. I remember I stopped watching him around 2017 when I started to think he was sniffing his own farts way too much (rewatching him on TBR makes me wonder how high my threshold for that must have been), but seeing him now becoming a psuedo spiritscience is pretty vindicating
I watched his videos for like maybe a month, then he did an anti-feminism video and I dropped him lol
@@LiarJudas666 I dont think his views really changed much from his days in a right wing christian cult
"We just recently discovered Gobekli Tepe" Gobekli Tepe was discovered in 1994...
That's pretty recent if you're old enough.
Tbf that is fairly recent all things considered.
bruh if aliens brought language to Australia, they must have HATED fricatives 😭
Indigenous Australians have been on the Australian continent and surrounding islands for 65,000+ years. Not only that but they aren't a homogeneous population, but many different groups, with differing cultures and languages.
DOES greg think swiss people look like the scream?
I think the vibe is weird cos he's talking about indigenous people like they're a different species? Not even necessarily in a disrespectful way (or at least in his mind), but with a curious sense of excitement that's more appropriate for a fun facts listicle about ants. You know what I mean???
You mean he's talking like a racist.
Greg almost makes a good point when he brings up that Neanderthals and other hominids were as valid as people as we are, but then he loses the plot and goes into weird race science. It almost had me excited he'd go into my niche evolutionary anthropology conspiracy, where I would say it would make sense if there was a correlation between homo sapiens being the last remaining species of human and homo sapiens being really prone to hate/war-crimes and political systems that can facilitate genocides and mass exploitation. This is, however, also why we are the most technologically advanced species on the planet, unfortunately, and I don't think it was aliens that made the Earth such a lonely place
I literally could not wait for you to upload another armored skeptic video lmaoaaoao
Soo I'm not certain that white skin was camouflage because of what happens when white skin is exposed to the cold it tends to get bright red. Then there are the indigenous people who live in the far north and do not have lighter skin because their diet provides enough vitamin D so there was no environmental pressure to cause that mutation to take place.
Am I missing something, or is part of the space between the foramen magnum and the back of the skull that he shows in the video...the part of the skull that is getting deformed by the binding?
And the extra space in the skull isn't necessarily filled with the extra brain matter that could be there if the skull grew extra to try to account for the deformation?
And the two holes in the skull could be damage holes in a dead person/trepanning holes rather than vein holes?
I'm no more of an expert than Armored Skeptic, but those are my thoughts when I see this.
This is another level of the crazy pyramid, but I think you need to watch his video on the Death God of Clowns, which runs from his Jokerdom right through his messiah complex, connecting
ng them together. It may be the key to understanding his whole way of thinking. Basically he conflates the appearance of the human skull with the depictions of death gods and with clown makeup, I mean it's not complex, but he seems super serious about this one, whereas I might believe some of the others are craziness just for the clicks.
ohhhh i get it, he's skeptical about empiricism
wow. I didn't expect that it only took Greg until the third episode's intro to come out with the flood apologist hot take. It's pretty brave to pull that over an ostensibly atheist audience so fast.
Conspiracy context: There is a conspiracy theory about like, two egyptian brothers getting lost and they got lost so much they ended up in Australia, so this thread is actually nothing new. The source of this conspiracy is some "hieroglyphs" carved into stones (gosford glyphs). Nobody saw them before the end of WW2, the war where Australia fought in Egypt (even though it's a known Aboriginal historical site if I remember correctly), they make no sense as a written language, more keep appearing, and one time the authorities literally found a guy in the process of carving them into the stone, but when has that ever stopped conspiracists.
So, let's say that everything this goon says is absolutely true. Before his ancient alien daddies beamed across the galaxies, when they were coming up. Who taught THEM intricate stonemasonry? Were they visited by even older, hairier, beefier daddies? Is it ancient alien bears all the way down?
he doesn't believe they were actually aliens, just some hominid dudes, so he would probably say that they just figured that shit out before others or something
Him looking at the camera and making a judgement that they're a lost kind of Ape whilst the examples pictured next to him are all DRASTICALLY different from each other is comical absurdity I haven't seen since spongebob.
It's like he replaced skepticism with the phrase, "wouldn't it be cool if..."
Every mention of the "coneheads" causes intense neuron activation because of Dirge Ramjet and Thrust from Transformers
It calls to mind Dan Akroyd, before he went **completely** nuts, singing Tainted Love to the leaders of the Conehead people.
As someone who subbed to him back when he had peaked, it’s pretty sad to see how far his channel has fallen into lunacy
He looks like he's being held hostage at an undisclosed location. Greg, blink once for "yes", twice for "no".
I watched him make fun of spirit science in like 2016 and now he's become spirit science
Is it me, or does Armoured Skeptic dress like an unemployed lounge magician?
From wiki on denisovans “However, they had larger molars which are reminiscent of Middle to Late Pleistocene archaic humans and australopithecines.” So not an indication that they were giants
Ah, someone caught it
This is the first Greg video in your series that I've noticed, and hooooooly shit, this dude drank the Kool-Aid.
Not the mic drop 😂
please keep doing these
And to think, a million years ago Armored Skeptic was on top of the "woild", fighting Tiny Hitler and Harold Penisman. Did he take too many of the "free drugs"?
Golden era of content
I guess Greg has never heard of hydrocephalus.
The Maori are *near* New Zealand?!?
This is idiotic.
the incel Armoured Skeptic vs the Chad Giorgio Tsoukalos
People confuse knowledge and intelligence so often when talking about ancient peoples. Sure, science and art evolves over time. But that doesn't mean because an ancient culture didn't have something that they were "too unintelligent" to come up with it. They may have had different resources available, priorities, or lacked some other technology. But if you read any of the writings of ancient peoples, the way they think it's much more like us than not.
And often times the ways/reasons an ancient group made their art is unclear to our time is because the information is just unavailable - maybe the tools deteriorated or the how-to was only through oral tradition or a lot of the artifact is missing taking relevant information with it - not that they lacked the ability to do it without "alien tech".
Red hair did occur in certain populations of pre-Columbia Coastal Peru, and while it is rare outside of certain parts of Europe, it is known in other places such as Africa, Central Asia, South Asia, East Asia , Polynesians and Australia, sure it is very very rare, but it does occur.
Oh of course Denisovans made beads, they had the brainpans of stagecoach tilters!!
This saga is giving me great material for my sci-fi novel.
THE first homo sapien neanderthal hybrid would have been like 200,000 years ago greg, what the actual fuck
Armored Skeptic is not now and never was a skeptic.
So, I dont have anything to back this up so grain of salt. However, it is very probable that we had partial skeletons with, say large skulls. I know that in the case of dinosaurs we see a skull of something larger than something its related to and we just kind of assume everything scaled equally so, back in the 1800s and early 1900s we could find a skull thats like, 1.5x the size of a homo sapien skull and they just assume that means that person was 1.5x the height.
Not talking about the weird Smithsonian denial part
WHY DOES HE KEEP PICKING HIS EAR????
When he points at a statue and says it’s a cone head and the statue literally has almost no head past the eyes 🗿
Also head elongation appeared to be a trend amongst certain Royal figures. We don’t know why but it’s most certainly not the Watchers. If you keep with that thread, John Dee (Founder of Enochian Magic and Queen Elizabeth’s Court Magician that was believed to commune with angels) believed that the Watchers walked among us. This alignment is more to explain the presence of other prophetic figures outside of the Abrahamic Paradigm, like Buddha was a fallen angel to help humanity move forward in this world view. A lot of mythology is used to explain mental illness and modes of thinking to ancient people. They don’t have the terminology that we do but they explained it through mystical concepts. A Watcher is effectively someone who has overcome their own trauma and wish to assist others. The Ancient Alien perspective ignore the premise that mental illness has existed across history to give life simple answers. It’s the same thing as wishing for Jesus to come back. It’s stupid. The universe is intrinsically chaotic so we think we’re a byproduct of experimentation, it a projection of the insecurity that life is unpredictable and assumes that someone made it as such for a reason.
Further to add on language. Within many indigenous religions exists a concept which I have come to call the impurity of flesh. It’s the fact that the world in our heads is always better than reality. That world is divine and to speak or write down the text of that world is to corrupt it. This is why language is introduced as an intermediary between humanity and the gods, because it introduces the idea that we can break out of our inner worlds. At the end of the day, apply the spiritual axiom “As Above So Below, As Within So Without, As the Soul So the Universe” or in other words, your mind is a product of the universe so use the scientific method to discover your own metaphysical truths. If you can’t think of a greater metaphor for something than aliens, then you haven’t thought hard enough. We are the aliens. We all feel weird and out of place in a world that doesn’t get us. Aliens is a projection of that alienation upon the world
15:47 I have a general rule about being suspicious of anyone wearing a flag lapel pin, and to not take at face value the words of someone who says NeanderTHal instead of NeanderT(h)al.
16:23 Science dammit, Jake..
Yes ears do in fact start at the brow line. We are taught this when learning to draw faces. Guess we are all alien hybrids.
Greg is now spouting Graham Hancock Ancient Apocalypse lies and idiocy.
Idk I can't really be mad at him. I really feel like this is indicative of some kind of schizophrenia or schizotypal disorder. The age is correct, the weird association, but he is still in our reality just enough to realize saying he is Jesus or is him reincarnated is too far. But he keeps saying things like "I assure you it was this way" as if he were there. The more the series goes on the less he can hold back. I do think he would probably be a pretty interesting guy if he saw a psychiatrist and found out why he all of a sudden believes he was Jesus. It's okay to have an interest in these kinds of conspiracies however only as a fun way to flex a muscle in your brain. Not in any kind of serious "the world is actually ending and I'm very frightened so I'm creating a myth that will bring myself and others comfort" type stuff. Get help, Greg. Im sure you have loved ones. Do it for them.
1:21:00
*eye twitch eye twitch eyetwitch eyetwitch eyetwitcheyetwitcheyetwitch*
Giorgio Tsoukalos seems like such a nice guy in person too. Greg feels like he'd be exhausting to be around.
i actually liked that video when it came out
of course, at the time these videos were presented as just fun speculations and it's not THAT out there compared to other things he present's now
i don't think greg's a bad dude or anything (just sometimes obliviously insensitive at times), but he got more and more wacky with time
if he called himself "just an armored wacky dude" instead of "armored skeptic" it wouldn't be nearly as jarring
This Greg fella's gone bonkers off snorting his own farts.
I watched his stuff a while back and just kind of drifted away from it, then one of his newer videos got recommended to me...I thought I was supposed to be a parody or something until I realized how many there were.
I realy want to like to know where he gets the " 100.000 years ago people were 7feet tall" stats. I cant find anything in that direction.
It’s not an unusual YEC claim.
I remember not watching his videos for a long while and when I wanted to see what he was doing now I got one of this conspiracy videos and without knowing anything I was watching like "is this real??" then I thought he was doing some satirical video on conspiracies for how out of it they were, so sad that he was serious about this stuff, this is just sad
Fun fact, 17% of all Americans 7 feet or taller are in or have been in the NBA.
our man said astronomy is astrology
edit: i commented way too soon, that's the smartest thing he said. I'm losing my mind
Shoe has made this man lose his mind.
greg was never an atheist, he was critical of the other religions because he thinks they are fake, but he doesnt think his belief is supernatural so he doesnt think he's just making up a religion
She broke him bros
We have found that the genus Homo is more diverse than originally thought, but ginger coneheaded apemen with snout mouths is ridiculous. Explanation for the conehead part seems to be a combination of artistic interpretation, genetic mutation in some cases, skull binding, and hats.
This is my first experience with the armoredskeptics videos, I’ve known of him for years, but never felt interested enough to actually watch one of his videos. I’m glad I never did, holy shit is this guy for real? What is he a skeptic of? Science?
he's wrong about the over 7 ft human, there were ranges, wider ranges than we hav today with our relative homogenuity. neanderthals had even more variation possible there were tall ones, there were short ones. they had more diversity between them than all humanity does today
I see we can add genetics to the list of things that Greg doesn’t understand
that belt thing the "the only two places this was found" seems like quite a stretch. Like I know i'm *really* guessing, but... it looks a hell of a lot like the lunar cycle. and correct me if i'm wrong.... but both australia and syria have a moon. (and a line as a boundary? just as likely to be ubiquitous)
Greg really fell off in such a weird way lol
01:13:24 This is entirely unimportant and inconsequential, but I heard _"..largest ethnic Groupon Earth"_
As someone who loves ancient history
Armored skeptic is fucking killing me
I just
God!
No stop
Omg he fell down his own pipeline.
He may have gone batshit, but at least he's entertaining now.
I'm italian. So I'm like a Neanderthal in new york or something?
Has he tested that head binding won’t do this
no steppy on my gobecklee teppy
Do the Green Man Dance
@4:55 I swear it always goes back to Sumeria but never Sumer 😅. I use to think this guy was soo smart.
He literally sounds like he's talking about aryans.
Screaming at the Paleolithic depiction of the “hwhites” 💀💀💀
"an oversized jaw" greg... have you seen the european royal families? inbreeding is a hell of a drug. and it's very likely that akhenaten, just like tutankhamun (suspected that the latter is a child of the former) suffered from severe effects of inbreeding... the "cartoonish deformation" you talk about is very likely actual physical deformities with an actual traceable cause. Like the reason he looks like he does is for the most part for precisely the opposite reason as your claim. it's not the introduction of genetic material from your "hybrids"... it's the lack of new genetic material layering up over generations. It's like he's purposefully reading the wiki pages for these things... and then saying what will contradict that the most.
