Thanks Jordan, for everything you have done, are doing and will do. For me, for my friends and family, for our generation, for our wildlife and country. Thankyou for taking years of your learnings and helping others understand and implement that wisdom. Thanks for making our generation give a shit about politics, corruption and the mainstream medias influence in our societies conditioning. Thanks for showing us what we have been missing, thanks for teaching us about ethical banks and ecosia. Thanks for making me feel hope for our countries future again. Thanks for making me feel hope for my future children's country. Just thanks man. I started watching your schoolies vids and I will be a patreon until the day I die. You've changed this world for the better, and that's all anyone can ever hope to do.
Hipsters try a lot harder to impress you, everything they do is very calculated to be what they think is perceived as cool. it leads to a level of disingenuousness and insecurity.
@UCwAbFjuazGeMzZvMZ8ZjwRQ No, he's said in previous videos he's filming on a cheap kmart camera for sentimental value. He uses a better one for the main channel.
Jordan, thank you so much for putting all of these videos together. I've been a massive fan of the friendlyjordies channel for a while now but to find the wealth of insight and compassion that you've invested in these videos is something I feel very lucky to be able to learn from. Thank you for spending your time making something that so positively affects people. Much love from Chicago.
I remember not liking John Howard, and I was a kid, and not sure why I didn't like him. Then John Howard got rid of guns in Australia. That's something I remember that was extremely good and major, that he did do. I respect him now for that.
I was discussing this earlier today: rampant consumer culture that's contributing to the collective misery of society and hipsters are kinda the worst culprits. By seeking outside validation instead of working on yourself you'll always be seeking happiness but never actually achieving it. I personally am tragically unfashionable, but I'm fulfilled within myself.
Hi Jordan, I'm currently doing a PhD and I've incorporated a lot of your advice into my working habits and it's been incredibly helpful. However, I've come to a point that despite practicing daily rituals of meditation, exercise, re-affirming my goals, adopting a positive mindset, etc. it feels like I've run out of the deeper passion that used to drive me. It's become very difficult to concentrate, and emotionally connect to my passion for the work. Even taking time off has only been slightly effective. I was wondering if you could talk about ways to recover from burnout effectively, and reignite that deeper drive when you have been involved in the same project for a long time. Thank you for all the videos!
You are right that after hatred there is indifference and that's when you accept yourself. However, I think there are examples where fear and respect shouldn't be labelled the same. I know you are talking in a broader sense, but just something I find worth thinking about.
Please! something about imposter syndrome. I just finished law school, Ive been working in Immigration law for the whole time, I have lots of experience in it but I still feel like i know nothing and that i shouldnt be a lawyer because I’m scared Im gonna fuck up someone case or that I actually dont know anything at all. People will even ask me questions about something and I KNOW THE ANSWER TO IT, but at the time I panic and question whether I’m even right. I need therapy but I would love to hear your thoughts on imposter syndrome!
going through uni had me like this too. Being surrounded by other people that made me feel like i was a real dumbass when in reality about 98% of the people I was there with were all in the same boat as I was.
I have this too for both University in becoming a teacher and being in the class and also as a volunteer firefighter. When you have all this info swimming around in your head and you’ve never actually used it, it is super daunting. Tbh, just backing yourself or even “fake it till you make it” is really the only thing you can do. You have to visualise yourself in the role and know the strengths and skills you bring. You’ve trained for a reason. If you can identify a weakness, be proactive and find the relevant info you need rather than being flustered. Talk to people in the job and just practice, you’ll 100% be sweet
I think everyone is (partially unknowingly) fronting, especially in the professional world. You often feel miles away from being qualified to do something until you actually start doing it, and then you quickly learn that it's actually not that complicated. There have been times I've felt unsure about things, that instinctively made me feel dumb. But I try to remember that I'm a rational person who follows a logical process to draw my conclusions, even if they're wrong. When I then do a small amount of digging I often find it was actually a very small misunderstanding. In short I think it helps to embrace the fact that being wrong is okay at all levels. Because you can almost always figure out why you're wrong, and it's usually a lot smaller of an issue than you think it could be.
Say this genuinely, Ive been a big fan of you even since I was a liberal supporter. I grew out of the Liberals yet remained politically on the right, yet the fact you are a fluid yet honest voice of your political distinction is respectable. The sentimentality towards political parties, treating the rich and overpaid morons which run the government as sacrilege is beyond stupid whatever side you are on. My love for your RUclips channel (yilmaz days) outlasted my support for yhe Liberal party. In all honesty it is due to the fact your authentic, in your humour and even your views. There will always be room to disagree however, one thing you can not deny someone is their authenticity. Most of the blokes now don’t have it at all in that Liberal Party.
We live in a generation of traumatised children in adult bodies desperate for a personality. Looking for permission to do anything. Living in a constant identity crisis submerged in fear. Desperately grasping for validation and power like a person drowning desperately grasping for air. We're afraid to be vulnerable, to be hurt again. We've all been hurt, all of us. We can see it, we know it. It takes strength to move on, too reconnect with hope and potential. This life is definitely a test, so much about it is becoming stronger.
Questions: What are the most soul destroying jobs you can think of that are essential to society? And what are your views on the types of people who work them?
three questions 1) How do u validate yourself or live without the need for validation from others 2) How do you motivate yourself is their an overarching method to it? As someone with ADHD( yes i know its a shit excuse) i am always looking for methods for me to sit down and do my work, other than having to turn to my prescription meds which i dont want to have to rely on for the rest of my life 3) How do get used to reading more non-fiction works like self help and research papers, i struggle with reading
most people are insecure to some extent and then society is expected to accommodate for that for some reason. it's not hard to turn your insecurities into fuel to achieve things everyone thought you would fuck up. just needs practice.
As a 17 year old, clicking on a Jordies video is an excellent reminder that life ahead is going to suck if you don't play your cards right. My problem is, with only a year left of high school, I still enjoy competing in comp Fortnite. (cringe to many) I just love being competitive, having a routine and working towards something I can be really good at. Am I wasting my time? Should I already know what I want to do with my last year of school and be weighing in University options/courses? Maybe my real question is do I bite the bullet and quit what I love doing right now, get into a lifestyle that will set me up for the next chapter in life, or live this year with no real long term goals in mind, but as a skip year that I may never get again?
not really sure if anyone will actually read above, but I thought I'd mention I've never done drugs/alcohol nor do I really plan to do so. Never partied, I just live a fairly unproductive virgin gamer life :)
No you do not have to have goals, in your early 20s this is when you should be developing your goals. However i would say getting out and socially interacting rather than playing vidya is a good focus on life in your early 20s.
you're still pretty young, I'd say keep on with the fortnite if you enjoy it. something might come out of it - or maybe not. From my experience 18-21 is where you figure out what you wanna do and then I'm assuming the rest of your 20s (I'm 22) is just pursuing those passions
@@thepetrifiedbard1646 thank you! I was thinking of joining yoga classes, or maybe cycling? Just something I can have a routine with and socialize with outside of whatever my main focus is.
@Reality Cheque I do hang out with a tight group of friends in real life outside of school, but maybe I should do more. I am pro level in most aspects of my game, but wouldn't call myself pro. Even if I was pro, OCE doesn't have money that would provide a sustainable income. I never really thought about ways I could be in the gaming industry after school, like as you mentioned, getting a business degree, also they have Fortnite clubs at Uni? Management seems interesting, although, I don't know if I really have the mind for a manager. But just idea of looking at ways I could participate in the industry does fascinate me. I really think I have a passion for this world of gaming/Esports that may be totally bs or actually something that could lead into options long term. If I suck at being a business owner in gaming, or whatever, it still gives me some skills I can use for other endeavors later on (sort of playing into that niche idea you mentioned). Thanks for the advice, makes me feel a little less anxious :>
Hey Jordies, bit of bants for ya, I'm 19 and have multiple passions in politics, music, and business (ETHICAL SOCIAL ENTERPRISE. DON'T GIVE ME THAT LESSON), how do I know which one to apply myself to fully? I get the feeling I should just pick one and run with it to get through the paralysis. Thoughts?
@@katewall4274 All of them, is the problem, I can genuinely flow when I study politics and write about it, I flow when I make music and perform, and as much as I haven't had much of a chance to run my own social enterprise/charity, what I do know is making my own time and runnnig my own show is what gets me in the flow the most, and doing something just to help society, like volunteering. When I talk/think about either I feel the excitement. Combining them/focussing on one and then seeing where there's room for others down the line is my current thought process.
Flip a coin. Seriously, as someone at thirty im going to tell you its going to be refined and changed as you grow anyway. But all things being equal the only GTO thing to do is to randomly choose, and fast, because the only bad decision is doing nothing, presuming you want to achieve shit. Your choice doesnt matter is what im saying. What matters is time to pick.
The fallacy you'll get tied up in is something like black and white 'transactional loss'. Because we think, accurately, we are suspending a focus to go toward one choice now, our brain automatically takes that one step further, and assumes that the other two will be chosen out permanently. That raises the stakes. In addition to this, the more you try and resolve the choice, the more you unconsciously telling yourself that it matters to choose - decision matters - The result of that is you percieve there to be a permanent loss if you get it wrong. Because you try and resolve the conflict from inside the box, you merely get yourself stuck in the box. The way to resolve this is to know this, be brave and choose a coin flip. Presuming you dont want to do nothing, which in my opinion is very underrated
The last thing ill say, and you'll learn this, is you come to your true goal by branching off from things you do, in ways you did not have the sight to see yet. My advice is to read, or better yet see a youtube vid of the author from 'the full circle' - which is a business concept of starting with an ultimate goal and allowing yourself to test an idea and strategy, with low cost of failure. These ventures become experiments and the ultimate take away is that what you end up doing is a pivot from what you set out to do. You only have the eyes and knowledge to see that point from the perspective of lets say, a couple years doing your first hobby. Every decision ive made, once i started listening to my heart and not what society told me (began that at 26) has worked that way. Becoming a disenfranchised degenerate poker player led to sports betting, an interest in politics came, led to political betting, my last interest was political strategy. Im now heading back into business - and just mow succeeding upon 6 months of set up, purely from the mind poker, betting and strategy gave me. This is after failing multiple business 5 years ago, that led me to become disenfranchised with achievement, which led me to become a degen poker player😁. PIVOT!
Roy and HG, Merrick and Russo, jay and the doctor, the Reason ( I suggest) that hamish and Andy are actually the best is that they’ve remained doing the same thing rather than being relevant for a moment then moving on to something different. Just one opinion.
I didn't even know about this channel, nice - I'm very happy to engage with more of your ideas @JordanShanks - thanks for creating discussion around so many important topics man, you the real MVP
he's not comparing them; he's speculating that if they were in a genocide they would for sure take part in it. his reasoning was fairly reasonable as they are sheep.
This sounds v on point for me, especially the > if you're talking to other people, how much do you think about if/how they are judging you And I see your point, but also, how does one go about improving their skills if you are not careful about the way you talk? For example I have managed to notice a few very annoying patterns that one of my friends has when he "lets loose" and I have realized I may have those patterns as well when I let loose myself. What do you do about that then. This is both a question to Jordan but you guys in comments as well.
Reposting my video/advice request because I'm not sure if you'll read comments on the last video lol: Hey Jordan, I remember you used to ask for video suggestions/advice we wanted but I'm not sure where else to post this. This may be a bit too niche to do a video on but I was really interested in your take on doctors and what future doctors should set out to do to make the most of their life and contribute to society. I'm currently 21 and studying med and I honestly feel like I have a direction in life and am quite happy with both my academic and personal life. However when I watch your videos I realise I am not as driven as you say we should be i.e asking yourself where you want to be in 10 years, reading etc every single day. Are there exceptions to the rule or is there a strong reason for me to adopt these habits even if I think I'm doing enough to end up where I want later in life. I'd also be interested in any other advice you might have for people in my situation Hope you see this Thanks.
But surely you're referring to "junior" hipsters, wanting to make sure they are approved by those with more experience at doing "hipster". You could easily replace "hipster" with junior anyone seeking social cues. As someone who has lived overseas also, I think there is a privilege in having more examples of personhood than might be picked up by people with less privilege whose whole is ultra centralised to a portion of one city in one country with one language and way of being. So chicken and the egg, which comes first - confidence or diverse life experiences.
You see, folks, we're all trying to please someone else. And as soon as you're not approval seek-ing, you're a approval giv-ing. Then what comes next? *Approval going!*
God I swear your weird esoteric rants make it impossible to share your content. It's always a 90% vendetta against weird hipsters and triple J commentators that no one else cares about.
Omg, its hard isn't it. I'm a musician. but.... haha also im obsessed with war and geo politics ect.. so there for, yeah I have to practice double speak. double think. just to maintain a positive social standing. They have no ear for it. so why bother? and even if you were to present a conflicting idea and say a hipster was to silently agree, if there are other's around whom they feel would disagree, they would more then likely hold there tongue opting to conform based on there own insecurity of there social standing. its funny i was thinking about this yester day. Imagine a group of people. and say.. the rule is everyone has to wear red cloth's because red cloth's are the best and if you don't your against the popular consensus. Imagine though that all of them actually have a distain for red clothing but out of fear of retribution by the majority. will pretend they like it to maintain a positive social standing. yep.. I'm basically an undercover agent who's been studying there sociology for ever.
Ok, I got a little story for you Jordie, relative to how you took Shroom;s the other day, and also relative to this current topic of conformity and double think/double speak ect. So, a few year's back, I was chilling with close friend's and a friend of mine was like hey lets all do acid. so we did, and we watched chemical's reacting on RUclips because were f/ nerd's.. but the cool kind right? a pharmacist a philosopher and physicist, getting high ohhh s/\t.. we solved everything Jordie, trust me it was like Captain planet, we got our ring's out and with our power's combined. (no pun there) Anyways, so the TV's doing it's thing, and there was some trippy thing's happening right, then very orifice like imagery (basically a sphincter) presented itself the whole visualization you could say was "the bond of being's" very borderline sexual undertone if you could call it that. So.. we all looked at each other pretty dead pan because we were receiving the message that was being put down, and it seemed like a homo erotic orgy was possibly imminent? we were confused let's just say that. But we all shared this thought and we were afraid of one another for a little bit, we went manic, but silently. But its all on display Jordie, you know this there is no ego there is no hiding. So we basically all had to confess to the idea, we did not want practice this idea, but the idea was had. so we all slowly confessed and man it was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, it was hard for all of us, slowly liberating ourselves. But it very quickly went from a minority to a majority which compelled other's who were not ready to confess and conform be more compelled to do so. We had a real good laugh when we had compromised. Also it was funny, we systematically broke, from oldest to youngest. the youngest of us broke last. And yeah that my f/\ up story for you.
Honestly I think I have a personal attack kink. God yes I wanna be told I'm a people pleasing self abandoning wanker, finish me off by telling me how to fix it.
C’mon Hamish and Andy?....I got brought up with spike Milligan/Monty Python....these guys are doing their best.....but .it’s custard.....the support of lamestream has turned the youth into vacuous cardboard memo/cut outs simps and it’s all Gooderz the worlds fucked it’s going down the tubes, we’re starting to control the weather things have gotten that fucked and these townies couldn’t even admit to it let alone crack a joke about it.....don’t get why your giving props to comedians that that would shit their pants if they met the likes of jello Biafra?
But isn't that what you do with the self help books? You want to grow your knowledge so oh oh more books. (normally I'd say books is the answer) you dive in and see something that makes sense or clicks with you and then you hold it as truth. Emotions are just as they are, you don't need to look into them to understand, just feel them. Here's one for hate and respect being a load of shit, my brother was a bully to my mum and family, he's done enough drugs to the point he sees blue people who tell him what to do so he can continue taking drugs, anything he does is to take from another person and use for his self. I hate him and I can tell you there is no respect for me, how could I possibly respect someone who is a terrible person is every single action they have taken. He is a bad person. In jail now obviously but I tell you there is no respect whatsoever, I actually hate him. Don't get emotions and try and mix and match them till they feel and sound right in your head, use your heart and listen to yourself, if upset why? If mad why? If jealous you know why! you have to have some acceptance within yourself to get over that, but people just want want want so generally can't get over it.
I know my mother feels shame with him, but her love is so strong she will never give up, she is the only kindness he has left, and still he takes from her. You give any person 5 minutes alone with him and he will come up with a reason to hurt you. Some people are no good.
I think you are looking at a situation and placing it as every day life, just say you ran for pm and gladly was the opposition, as she drove higher in the polls one day you be angry and driven to do more mabey even act desperate, but the next day you do some stunt and now top the polls, you would say that was a good one you pulled love but not good enough, but that is your situation you are actively running against someone, you are in a competition, and that's how you are starting to see everything its me vs you. When if you need to vs someone for your Owne gains it needs to be yourself really.
yes, the data proves that to be the case. the political agenda behind it is corrupt. they arent interested in reducing emissions, they just want budget blowout projects like more wind and solar farms that cant even deliver the required load and it cant even scale. nuclear would be the better option but clearly everybody is an energy expert after watching one tv program called "chernobyl"

Hey Jordan, there is a bug on the wall.
wow. i read the comments straight away and its the only thing i can look at.
Bit of an eye sore
Yeh same, you really ruined the whole video
I kept rubbing my screen until I realized it wasn't a mark on the screen.
Thought it was on my computer screen.
I feel like most people are insecure not really exclusive to hipsters.
ya they are all bloody hipsters
But they're a case to study and draw ideas from
Hipsters try a lot harder to impress you, everything they do is very calculated to be what they think is perceived as cool. it leads to a level of disingenuousness and insecurity.
Yeah I just spent 2 minutes trying to get a smudge off my screen, cheers.

Would love for you to do a video on the farmers movement in India. You’ll find it very relatable.

Hey mate, have you heard about the Indian farmers protest? What's your opinion on it? It's a monumental move against exploitation and fascist India.
Questions: What are the most soul destroying jobs you can think of that are essential to society? And what are your views on the types of people who work them?
three questions
1) How do u validate yourself or live without the need for validation from others
2) How do you motivate yourself is their an overarching method to it? As someone with ADHD( yes i know its a shit excuse) i am always looking for methods for me to sit down and do my work, other than having to turn to my prescription meds which i dont want to have to rely on for the rest of my life
3) How do get used to reading more non-fiction works like self help and research papers, i struggle with reading
Do you know what works for you? Maybe for reading start simple like picture books.
Listen to one chapter of an audiobook a day

I never really thought about ways I could be in the gaming industry after school, like as you mentioned, getting a business degree, also they have Fortnite clubs at Uni? Management seems interesting, although, I don't know if I really have the mind for a manager. But just idea of looking at ways I could participate in the industry does fascinate me. I really think I have a passion for this world of gaming/Esports that may be totally bs or actually something that could lead into options long term. If I suck at being a business owner in gaming, or whatever, it still gives me some skills I can use for other endeavors later on (sort of playing into that niche idea you mentioned). Thanks for the advice, makes me feel a little less anxious :>
Hey Jordies, bit of bants for ya, I'm 19 and have multiple passions in politics, music, and business (ETHICAL SOCIAL ENTERPRISE. DON'T GIVE ME THAT LESSON), how do I know which one to apply myself to fully? I get the feeling I should just pick one and run with it to get through the paralysis. Thoughts?
What brings you the most joy? Which one keeps you naturally in that flow state? Because its about the process not the product.
@@katewall4274 All of them, is the problem, I can genuinely flow when I study politics and write about it, I flow when I make music and perform, and as much as I haven't had much of a chance to run my own social enterprise/charity, what I do know is making my own time and runnnig my own show is what gets me in the flow the most, and doing something just to help society, like volunteering. When I talk/think about either I feel the excitement. Combining them/focussing on one and then seeing where there's room for others down the line is my current thought process.
Flip a coin. Seriously, as someone at thirty im going to tell you its going to be refined and changed as you grow anyway. But all things being equal the only GTO thing to do is to randomly choose, and fast, because the only bad decision is doing nothing, presuming you want to achieve shit. Your choice doesnt matter is what im saying. What matters is time to pick.
The fallacy you'll get tied up in is something like black and white 'transactional loss'. Because we think, accurately, we are suspending a focus to go toward one choice now, our brain automatically takes that one step further, and assumes that the other two will be chosen out permanently. That raises the stakes. In addition to this, the more you try and resolve the choice, the more you unconsciously telling yourself that it matters to choose - decision matters - The result of that is you percieve there to be a permanent loss if you get it wrong. Because you try and resolve the conflict from inside the box, you merely get yourself stuck in the box. The way to resolve this is to know this, be brave and choose a coin flip. Presuming you dont want to do nothing, which in my opinion is very underrated
The last thing ill say, and you'll learn this, is you come to your true goal by branching off from things you do, in ways you did not have the sight to see yet.
My advice is to read, or better yet see a youtube vid of the author from 'the full circle' - which is a business concept of starting with an ultimate goal and allowing yourself to test an idea and strategy, with low cost of failure. These ventures become experiments and the ultimate take away is that what you end up doing is a pivot from what you set out to do. You only have the eyes and knowledge to see that point from the perspective of lets say, a couple years doing your first hobby. Every decision ive made, once i started listening to my heart and not what society told me (began that at 26) has worked that way. Becoming a disenfranchised degenerate poker player led to sports betting, an interest in politics came, led to political betting, my last interest was political strategy. Im now heading back into business - and just mow succeeding upon 6 months of set up, purely from the mind poker, betting and strategy gave me. This is after failing multiple business 5 years ago, that led me to become disenfranchised with achievement, which led me to become a degen poker player😁. PIVOT!
The thing I dislike most about hipsters - man-buns and Ned Kelly beards. Why?
Woah two videos in one day and only one of them was a lazy upload. Congrats Jimmy
This is honestly the one profession on Earth that being Petty is valuable
Hey Jordan, have you read The Six Pillars of Self Esteem by Nathaniel Branden? Maybe the best self improvement book I've ever read.
Roy and HG, Merrick and Russo, jay and the doctor, the Reason ( I suggest) that hamish and Andy are actually the best is that they’ve remained doing the same thing rather than being relevant for a moment then moving on to something different. Just one opinion.
He must’ve left An impression then
Hello Jordan: I often look at hipsters and wonder how they would function outside of their little world in Newtown.
Just discovered the second channel, love the raw content. Keep it up bruz
I don't see what's so offensive about 'moist'
moist yeah I dont get it either. Is the connotations of the word? sound of the word?
I think it's the sibilance at the end of the word
That makes sense. But now thinking, why don’t we think the same way about the word “kiss”
It's just one of those words that sounds inappropriate but isn't
*sideshow Bob stepping on rake sound*
I just realised that you’re Schmidt from New Girl.
mmmhh nah schmidt is awkward
I didn't even know about this channel, nice - I'm very happy to engage with more of your ideas @JordanShanks - thanks for creating discussion around so many important topics man, you the real MVP
Your thoughts on video games?
How do I train not to be approval seeking?
And so if you constantly are seeking validation from others, how do you go about fixing that?
jordan shanks vid starter pack
Shitty cam ✔️
Manic laughter ✔️
Rwandan genocide reference ✔️
Real ones remember when this was C0662
So this is how Sam Hyde could fool a bunch of hipsters at Williamsburg so easily, but wait if I remember correctly they didn't offer any validation xD
Could you give some self help book recommendations both for beginners and as later study.
Can someone explain why this was uploaded as "CO622"!?
That bug on the wall is annoying the fuck out of me
"Bants" is sickening.
Never heard of it. What does it mean? Is it a derivative of banter?
@@reson8 yes
It reminds me of "Lantinx". I despise that word.
People can't hate Hamish and Andy. They are the best inoffensive boys bantz.
Sorry, comparing Hipster to Rwandan villages committing genocide 😂
he's not comparing them; he's speculating that if they were in a genocide they would for sure take part in it. his reasoning was fairly reasonable as they are sheep.
That mark on the wall above your left shoulder is upstaging you mate.
This sounds v on point for me, especially the > if you're talking to other people, how much do you think about if/how they are judging you
And I see your point, but also, how does one go about improving their skills if you are not careful about the way you talk?
For example I have managed to notice a few very annoying patterns that one of my friends has when he "lets loose" and I have realized I may have those patterns as well when I let loose myself. What do you do about that then. This is both a question to Jordan but you guys in comments as well.
What do you think about hobbies?
Gobbies>Hobbies
Reposting my video/advice request because I'm not sure if you'll read comments on the last video lol:
Hey Jordan,
I remember you used to ask for video suggestions/advice we wanted but I'm not sure where else to post this.
This may be a bit too niche to do a video on but I was really interested in your take on doctors and what future doctors should set out to do to make the most of their life and contribute to society.
I'm currently 21 and studying med and I honestly feel like I have a direction in life and am quite happy with both my academic and personal life.
However when I watch your videos I realise I am not as driven as you say we should be i.e asking yourself where you want to be in 10 years, reading etc every single day.
Are there exceptions to the rule or is there a strong reason for me to adopt these habits even if I think I'm doing enough to end up where I want later in life.
I'd also be interested in any other advice you might have for people in my situation
Hope you see this
Thanks.
Jordan I couldn't swipe off the bug on your wall.
Bro do a video on 3aw they brainwashed my dad into voting Liberal
hipster is just the new word for 'try hard'.
thoughts on red pill
The bug/ hole is getting bigger😳. Check back in a year and there’ll be a DIY kyle produced window
Its the void that will slowly consume Jordans house
But surely you're referring to "junior" hipsters, wanting to make sure they are approved by those with more experience at doing "hipster".
You could easily replace "hipster" with junior anyone seeking social cues.
As someone who has lived overseas also, I think there is a privilege in having more examples of personhood than might be picked up by people with less privilege whose whole is ultra centralised to a portion of one city in one country with one language and way of being.
So chicken and the egg, which comes first - confidence or diverse life experiences.
Things really aren't going well Jordan, are they?
someone's internal monologue escaped and turned into a real boy :)
Bring back the blue wall, also could you do a video on mind valley
You see, folks, we're all trying to please someone else. And as soon as you're not approval seek-ing, you're a approval giv-ing. Then what comes next?
*Approval going!*
it's called self esteem, bucko
You've finally convinced me on some political stuff.
Hamish Blake for PM!
"Hamish Blake; He won't snake.... ya."
Jordan needs to lighten up and partake in some jocular type badinage
bug on wall mvp
My dad hates Paul Keating.
I was here when the title was "C0662"
The age of the costume lumber jack. Can you use that axe? ummmm.... no.
Serious Comment: Would love for you to redo this video with just the messages
God I swear your weird esoteric rants make it impossible to share your content. It's always a 90% vendetta against weird hipsters and triple J commentators that no one else cares about.
Good vid though 👍
Don't worry, the third 'sor' was quite annoying. 🐨
0:01 hot potatoes aint hot sauce.
I couldn't listen to a word you said cos I just kept looking at the fly on the wall
if jordan talks shit about Whose Line Is It Anyway AGAIN I swear to god I will
Omg, its hard isn't it.
I'm a musician. but.... haha also im obsessed with war and geo politics ect.. so there for, yeah I have to practice double speak. double think. just to maintain a positive social standing. They have no ear for it. so why bother? and even if you were to present a conflicting idea and say a hipster was to silently agree, if there are other's around whom they feel would disagree, they would more then likely hold there tongue opting to conform based on there own insecurity of there social standing.
its funny i was thinking about this yester day.
Imagine a group of people. and say.. the rule is everyone has to wear red cloth's because red cloth's are the best and if you don't your against the popular consensus.
Imagine though that all of them actually have a distain for red clothing but out of fear of retribution by the majority. will pretend they like it to maintain a positive social standing. yep.. I'm basically an undercover agent who's been studying there sociology for ever.
Ok, I got a little story for you Jordie, relative to how you took Shroom;s the other day, and also relative to this current topic of conformity and double think/double speak ect.
So, a few year's back, I was chilling with close friend's and a friend of mine was like hey lets all do acid. so we did, and we watched chemical's reacting on RUclips because were f/
nerd's.. but the cool kind right? a pharmacist a philosopher and physicist, getting high ohhh s/\t.. we solved everything Jordie, trust me it was like Captain planet, we got our ring's out and with our power's combined. (no pun there)
Anyways, so the TV's doing it's thing, and there was some trippy thing's happening right, then very orifice like
imagery (basically a sphincter)
presented itself the whole visualization you could say was "the bond of being's" very borderline sexual undertone if you could call it that.
So.. we all looked at each other pretty dead pan because we were receiving the message that was being put down, and it seemed like a homo erotic orgy was possibly imminent? we were confused let's just say that. But we all shared this thought and we were afraid of one another for a little bit, we went manic, but silently. But its all on display Jordie, you know this there is no ego there is no hiding.
So we basically all had to confess to the idea, we did not want practice this idea, but the idea was had. so we all slowly confessed and man it was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, it was hard for all of us, slowly liberating ourselves. But it very quickly went from a minority to a majority which compelled other's who were not ready to confess and conform be more compelled to do so. We had a real good laugh when we had compromised.
Also it was funny, we systematically broke, from oldest to youngest. the youngest of us broke last.
And yeah that my f/\ up story for you.
ah yes, C0662
Hey Jordan, how do I become more productive?
I don't get Hamish & Andy...
Did you rename this video 🤔. In my notifications it said this video was called C0266 or something... Lol that sounds like a button cell battery.
hey Jordan how do I get good skin like yours I'M F@#$ UGLE HELP!
An anti-hipster rant in 2020? Can i consider this retro already?
Omg great bantz Jordan!
Strong bantz bro
Honestly I think I have a personal attack kink. God yes I wanna be told I'm a people pleasing self abandoning wanker, finish me off by telling me how to fix it.
is there a giant mosquito on the wall
like and subscribe! no approval seeking here...
!
jk
Hey jordan just asking what you do for work?
wtf is that on the wall
C’mon Hamish and Andy?....I got brought up with spike Milligan/Monty Python....these guys are doing their best.....but .it’s custard.....the support of lamestream has turned the youth into vacuous cardboard memo/cut outs simps and it’s all Gooderz the worlds fucked it’s going down the tubes, we’re starting to control the weather things have gotten that fucked and these townies couldn’t even admit to it let alone crack a joke about it.....don’t get why your giving props to comedians that that would shit their pants if they met the likes of jello Biafra?
WHAT👏IS👏THAT👏MARK👏ON👏THE👏WALL
Did you not like The Inbetweeners Movies?
Always on the bants!
But isn't that what you do with the self help books? You want to grow your knowledge so oh oh more books. (normally I'd say books is the answer) you dive in and see something that makes sense or clicks with you and then you hold it as truth. Emotions are just as they are, you don't need to look into them to understand, just feel them. Here's one for hate and respect being a load of shit, my brother was a bully to my mum and family, he's done enough drugs to the point he sees blue people who tell him what to do so he can continue taking drugs, anything he does is to take from another person and use for his self. I hate him and I can tell you there is no respect for me, how could I possibly respect someone who is a terrible person is every single action they have taken. He is a bad person. In jail now obviously but I tell you there is no respect whatsoever, I actually hate him. Don't get emotions and try and mix and match them till they feel and sound right in your head, use your heart and listen to yourself, if upset why? If mad why? If jealous you know why! you have to have some acceptance within yourself to get over that, but people just want want want so generally can't get over it.
I know my mother feels shame with him, but her love is so strong she will never give up, she is the only kindness he has left, and still he takes from her. You give any person 5 minutes alone with him and he will come up with a reason to hurt you. Some people are no good.
I think you are looking at a situation and placing it as every day life, just say you ran for pm and gladly was the opposition, as she drove higher in the polls one day you be angry and driven to do more mabey even act desperate, but the next day you do some stunt and now top the polls, you would say that was a good one you pulled love but not good enough, but that is your situation you are actively running against someone, you are in a competition, and that's how you are starting to see everything its me vs you. When if you need to vs someone for your Owne gains it needs to be yourself really.
growing up in public..interesting..are you sitting on the floor?
Pulp sport shit on Hamish and Andy anyone from NZ will understand
dont hold back youre branding opinion
comment
My mum thinks hipsters are cool
you know what most hipsters like today? the labour party and all its climate change propoganda :P
That's bs
Climate change is real moron.
yes, the data proves that to be the case. the political agenda behind it is corrupt. they arent interested in reducing emissions, they just want budget blowout projects like more wind and solar farms that cant even deliver the required load and it cant even scale. nuclear would be the better option but clearly everybody is an energy expert after watching one tv program called "chernobyl"
