    Outstanding work! Really!!! I love sharing this my son to talk and explore the world he lives in.
    One small critique. Can you have your sound engineer high-paas your vocals at around 80hz or so? Believe it or not I watch your videos on a full range audio setup and I’m sure other’s do and we’re getting giant thuds and booms that your engineer is probably not hearing since he or she is mixing with with headphones or monitors not capable of reproducing these lower frequencies.
    Thanks and keep up the good work. We need more people like you!

    It won't be very good for your depression, but it will open your eyes much more, and they're pretty open already, but War is a Racket, by Major General Smedley Butler is a book that's hard to describe, both brilliant, yet awful. Since you haven't mentioned him in this, or part two, I guess you have yet to discover it. If you're very busy, it's very short and a free audiobook on you tube, as is a video of his life, with him talking to congress, etc., in the early days of film. Keep up the good work, each step toward enlightening others I think, is a step toward your own help too. Thanks for the videos incidentally: Great work.

    Really sad seeing how far Johnny Harris has fallen. Half the time he is just a propaganda mouthpiece (I feel like he really suffers from not having someone to reel him in) but lying to his fans to help Better Help is actually worse because he can't even pretend to not know. Everyone knows. It's been public knowledge for ages and he's a journalist. So that means he thought about it and decided "fuck the fans I'm getting paid to help therapist I pushed on them sell their private data". I always thought Johnny meant well but all the propaganda and constant errors was just from being dumb. However, actively deciding to help a company of unvetted therapists steal and sell your data in exchange for payment proves he is actually just a bad person.

  • @sdagoth3037

    This video isn't lying per se, but what everyone needs to remember is that statically speaking, comparing the amount of violence in the world to the amount of people in it, we live in the most peaceful period in human history. That's became of capitalism, and the trade relationships and innovation that capitalism produced. There will always be conflict for money and power, but there's actually less of it because of capitalism.
