I have a friend who I'm pretty sure
0:02
voted for Donald Trump and right before
0:04
Christmas he was upset because his
0:06
daughter supported Harris and she didn't
0:08
want her Republican relatives around for
0:10
the holidays my friend couldn't
0:12
understand this perspective he said that
0:14
politics is personal and you should
0:15
never shun someone least of all a family
0:17
member for their personal choice on the
0:20
flip side his daughter couldn't
0:21
understand his perspective how could you
0:23
put somebody's choice to vote Trump off
0:25
to one side like it just doesn't even
0:27
matter at all I think we can explain
0:30
this conflict with a little bit of help
0:33
from 19th century German philosopher
0:36
Friedrich ner in fact I think we can
0:38
explain a lot of the Maga movement
0:39
generally using n's work so here we go
0:42
some people think that morality
0:44
shouldn't come into business that hey
0:47
whatever right and wrong says you've
0:48
just got to do what's right for the
0:50
company so they still believe in
0:52
Morality they just have a different
0:53
belief about when it applies similarly
0:56
my trump voting friend doesn't lack
0:58
morals he's not an animal when he says
1:00
politics is personal he just means that
1:03
there isn't a universal moral standard
1:05
there's no one way that everybody should
1:08
vote Just A diversity of opinions his
1:11
daughter evidently disagrees and thinks
1:13
there is a universal moral standard that
1:16
applies in every voting booth that
1:18
voting Republican in this particular
1:20
election at least was morally wrong and
1:22
she doesn't want to associate with
1:24
anyone who did so it's not that she has
1:26
morals and he doesn't they both have
1:28
morals the disagreement is about
1:30
when they should come into play now for
1:33
n it is a mistake to think that morality
1:36
is universal and applies to everyone all
1:39
the time he was quite comfortable saying
1:41
that for some people the rules are just
1:43
different especially if they are a
1:44
better class of person we just did a
1:47
video about that if you're curious you
1:48
can go and check it out now my trump
1:51
voting friend is not a white supremacist
1:53
in fact he's black but he does believe
1:55
in hierarchy I think it's fair to say he
1:57
thinks he has some authority over his
1:59
daughter especially whilst he's still
2:00
supporting her he might not call it
2:03
Authority he might say that he has a
2:04
responsibility to raise her right and
2:07
prepare her for the world and so on but
2:09
it's clear that he expects some amount
2:11
of difference from her as part of that
2:13
relationship and he regards that
2:15
deference as flowing naturally to him
2:18
despite the fact that his daughter is in
2:19
fact an adult in other words in his mind
2:22
there is a hierarchy and so the rules
2:25
are different morality doesn't always
2:27
apply and if there's a disagreement
2:29
about when it does he should have the
2:32
final say because he's the dad if you're
2:35
more inclined to view everybody as equal
2:37
then you might not have a problem with
2:39
saying no actually the rules are the
2:41
same for everyone and there is a
2:42
universal moral standard but that is not
2:44
the way that n would look at it here's
2:45
another example Nancy mace US
2:48
Representative for North Carolina she
2:50
said some very nasty things about trans
2:54
people and triy to have us banned from
2:56
using public bathrooms she was
2:58
confronted in her office off by AOC and
3:01
AOC said hey like don't you think this
3:03
is kind of bad don't you think this is
3:05
kind of hurtful I mean you shouldn't say
3:07
those things about trans people right
3:09
and Nancy mace replied whatever you know
3:12
it's a game points on the board to me
3:16
that doesn't suggest a lack of morality
3:18
so much as a disagreement about when it
3:21
applies and to whom to AOC morality
3:25
obviously applies to trans people like
3:28
you shouldn't say those sorts of
3:29
horrible things about us or try and have
3:31
our rights restricted but to Nancy mace
3:33
apparently uh we don't really come under
3:36
the scope of morality it's it's just a
3:38
game points on the board now it would be
3:40
nice if we could all just agree to
3:42
disagree about whether morality applies
3:46
voting it would be nice if families
3:48
around the world could come together
3:50
over the holidays and not fight about
3:52
stuff but there is a universal standard
3:56
that we are all bound by there is
3:58
something that affects every single one
4:03
is the amount of carbon dioxide in
4:05
Earth's atmosphere I think about this
4:07
quite often uh that some of the classic
4:09
philosophers we still read today were
4:11
writing at a time when people didn't
4:13
know about global warming I mean it's
4:15
all well and good to Champion
4:17
individuality and individual
4:18
perspectives but we do in fact all live
4:21
on one very precarious planet and our
4:25
actions including voting do have an
4:27
effect on whether or not it remains
4:28
habitable it certainly seems like some
4:31
things should matter from everybody's
4:35
perspective I mean isn't that just
4:37
science well here's a little story about
4:40
science in December of last year I was
4:45
in Montana which is a part of planet
4:49
Earth I went into a te- shop in Montana
4:51
and whilst I was waiting for my order I
4:53
ease dropped on the conversation that
4:55
the couple next to me were having
4:57
apologies if you were that couple your
4:59
convers was just too fascinating not to
5:01
listen in on they were talking
5:04
about vaccines the woman was saying that
5:07
she didn't trust vaccines she didn't
5:09
want her kids to get any vaccines and
5:12
here's some quotes of things she
5:14
actually said that I surreptitiously
5:15
wrote down in my phone you trust Western
5:18
medson because it's worked for you but
5:20
for me Weston medson killed my mom I
5:23
trust my kids bodies to do what they're
5:25
meant to do I'm Cherokee my ancestors
5:28
were Cherokee so I'm very in touch with
5:30
nature and natural healing people say to
5:32
me oh you reject science you want polio
5:35
to come back and they're so stupid polio
5:37
was cured cuz we cleaned up the water it
5:39
wasn't the vaccine so I actually know
5:41
more science than you that last point is
5:43
false by the way uh the the cleaning up
5:46
the water did help with the polio
5:47
situation but we did actually beat polio
5:49
with a vaccine I'd be doing like
5:51
misinformation if I didn't tell you that
5:53
I was really struck by how often that
5:55
woman centered herself and her own
5:58
perspective in the conversation they
6:00
were having all of the things she said
6:02
were about her identity as a woman as a
6:06
daughter as a mother as a person of
6:08
indigenous American descent even that
6:10
last remark about polio was about her in
6:14
contrast to some imaginary other person
6:17
who knew less than her she talked a lot
6:19
more about herself than she did about
6:20
things like facts or evidence or studies
6:22
and I'm not necessarily bashing her for
6:24
that I'm just noticing it and saying
6:26
that it's interesting philosophers might
6:32
perspectivism and we find a lot of it in
6:36
Fredick nature facts and science only
6:39
matter from somebody's personal
6:41
perspective the value of Truth is not
6:45
unconditional the value of a fact
6:47
depends on what you want to do with it
6:50
here's some quotes from Fredick n's book
6:52
the will to power there is no truth the
6:55
concept truth is nonsensical there are
6:59
no facts only interpretations now you
7:02
might well say that's just ridiculous
7:05
and it's also self-refuting and you're
7:07
risking throwing away so much of what
7:10
Humanity has achieved through science
7:12
and reason but a nitian would come back
7:14
and say no truth is only meaningful in
7:17
contexts shaped by our desires and
7:20
desire is what life is really about to
7:23
deny that is to deny what it means to be
7:25
alive in very general terms nature
7:28
thought that Society has gone wrong
7:30
we're all being held back and kept down
7:33
by dominant standards of morality and
7:36
the cure for this is to try and have a
7:38
personal psychological transformation
7:40
become an individual and assert yourself
7:43
perspectivism is part of that project
7:46
here is another example now you might
7:49
say that under President Joe Biden the
7:51
United States had the best postco
7:54
economic recovery of any G7 Nation you
7:57
might say that under Biden the US
7:59
economy was pretty good all things
8:03
considered relative to other countries
8:05
and relative to what it might have been
8:07
but a nian would say I don't care what
8:10
the macroeconomic picture says when
8:13
groceries gasoline rent and health
8:15
insurance cost most of my wages yes
8:18
those things are facts they are true I'm
8:19
not denying that but that truth doesn't
8:23
matter to what I want to do there this
8:26
trend I've seen where liberals say that
8:28
Trump supporters are nihilist that they
8:30
don't care about anything but
8:32
perspectivism isn't nihilism they do
8:35
care about some things again like my
8:37
trump voting friend doesn't lack values
8:40
he just doesn't value all the same
8:42
things at the same time as me and if you
8:44
try to impose values on people as if
8:47
they are objective if you try to say you
8:50
have to care about these facts a lot of
8:53
people experience that as belittling
8:57
about freedom and and ask what is
9:00
freedom an nian would say it has two
9:03
parts to it firstly Freedom means seeing
9:06
your values your goals your intentions
9:08
and what you want to do as coming from
9:11
you chosen by you rather than given to
9:15
you by someone else secondly Freedom
9:16
means the ability to reflect on those
9:19
values and goals and change them if you
9:20
want to so now I'm thinking
9:25
pronouns and how a lot of conservatives
9:28
can get up set about compelled speech
9:31
when they're asked to use
9:32
trans-inclusive language over the last
9:34
few years there's been a greater
9:35
recognition that queer people exist and
9:37
hello we're part of society hi nice to
9:39
see you we've been here the whole time
9:40
and that includes you know making a few
9:43
accommodations so that life is a little
9:44
bit easier for us and some conservatives
9:46
have gotten very upset about that they
9:49
see it as something being forced down
9:51
their throats like it's the new religion
9:56
Orthodoxy say the damn pronouns
9:59
according to Nature every living thing
10:02
has this drive inside
10:04
called the will to power maybe a better
10:08
translation would be will to agency or
10:10
will to Freedom Will To Power is the
10:13
translation that everybody knows but the
10:15
idea is that we all want to feel like we
10:17
are in control of Our Lives we all want
10:18
to feel like we're powerful and strong
10:20
and the Masters of our own Destinies
10:22
there are lots of ways to fulfill the
10:24
will to power dominating somebody else
10:26
through violence is a very very obvious
10:28
way but thought there are more subtle
10:30
ways too pity and charity are according
10:34
to him expressions of the will to power
10:36
if you help somebody out you're really
10:38
just trying to reassure yourself of your
10:40
own Superior status and you know you
10:42
could even call that virtue signaling n
10:45
was an egoist he didn't believe in
10:47
unselfish actions even things that look
10:49
ostensibly altruistic are according to
10:51
him secretly selfish all along your
10:54
mileage may vary on whether or not you
10:56
believe that I see a lot of
10:57
conservatives who seem to think that
11:00
Liberals are pulling some kind of con uh
11:03
whether it's an explicit conspiracy like
11:05
queing on or like putting stuff in the
11:07
vaccines or or whether it's just virtue
11:09
signaling uh they say stuff like well
11:11
you don't really care about global
11:13
warming or or vaccines or or queer
11:15
people or inclusive language you don't
11:17
really care about any of those things
11:18
you're just using your Will To Power
11:21
it's just a secret Ploy for control and
11:24
you cloak your Will To Power in
11:25
self-righteous moral language but I see
11:28
right through you that's a nan Outlook
11:31
they're trying to explain Society in
11:33
terms of the will to power they're
11:35
analyzing ideologies like progressivism
11:38
and trying to tell a story about where
11:39
they come from and why they're secretly
11:41
bad there's this other Trend I've seen
11:43
where liberals and leftists paint Trump
11:44
supporters as cruel as delighting in
11:48
cruelty and causing suffering and they
11:50
often point out things like Donald Trump
11:52
has promised to take retribution against
11:54
his enemies but on the flip side I see
11:55
some Maga people portraying that as kind
11:58
of a good thing as a as a willingness to
12:01
be tough that in some sense aligns with
12:04
reality like yeah it's tough but but you
12:07
you got to be that way sometimes or or
12:09
you know it's the discipline that that
12:11
people need or in some way at least it's
12:13
an understandable instinct to want
12:15
retribution nature thought that we all
12:18
have a desire to cause suffering to
12:20
others that we bury deep down inside us
12:23
and he actually thought there's nothing
12:25
wrong with it in fact he thought it has
12:26
several beneficial effects the point
12:29
punishment he said was to make people
12:31
remember if you do something bad and you
12:33
get hit for it you'll remember it and so
12:36
he says the desire to cause suffering to
12:38
one another is the foundation of all
12:40
promises and contract and economic
12:43
exchange and even reason itself it makes
12:46
people predictable and orderly and hence
12:48
it allows us to form goals and make
12:51
plans based on the expectation that
12:52
others will behave consistently so
12:54
painful yes but also kind of necessary
12:58
and that's a Sim rationalization that I
13:00
see some Maga people making and
13:07
Jesus JD Vance wrote a very interesting
13:10
essay in 2020 called why I joined the
13:14
resistance if you didn't know Vance used
13:16
to be a left-wing atheist and now he's a
13:18
far right Catholic and the essay is
13:20
about why that switch happened in his
13:23
essay Vance says that the left often
13:26
correctly diagnoses problems like
13:28
poverty and addiction as structural and
13:31
yet even in very privileged places like
13:34
Elite universities there are plenty of
13:36
people who have a lot of resources who
13:38
aren't poor but are still addicted and
13:42
depressed and stuck in a nihilist void
13:45
thrashing their lives away in pursuit of
13:48
pointless prizes and so he says in his
13:51
opinion America needs a spiritual
13:54
renewal to fill that void he likes that
13:57
kind of solution because it gives people
13:59
a chance for virtue it's something they
14:02
can individually reach for they can make
14:04
good choices heroic choices even whereas
14:08
the left tends to say well hey here's a
14:10
problem with society and if you want to
14:11
do something about it too bad this issue
14:14
is systemic and by the way here's a list
14:16
of words you can't say anymore you don't
14:18
really get to be a hero you just avoid
14:21
getting canceled while I agreed that
14:23
more resources were often necessary
14:26
there seemed to me a sense in which our
14:28
most dist dtive behaviors persisted even
14:31
flourished in times of material Comfort
14:34
the economic left was often more
14:35
compassionate but there's was a kind of
14:37
compassion devoid of any expectation
14:40
that rre of giving up a compassion that
14:43
assumes a person is disadvantaged to the
14:45
point of hopelessness is like sympathy
14:48
for a zoo animal and I had no use for it
14:51
now n was not a big fan of religion he
14:54
hated it so he wouldn't approve of
14:56
Vance's conclusions but the steps that
14:58
Vance takes to get there are very nichan
15:01
it's all about becoming a heroic
15:03
individual like becoming the main
15:05
character instead of an NPC replacing
15:07
Thou shalt not with I will now let's
15:10
take a big step back and we'll put all
15:23
together there's a genre of writing
15:26
called anti-modernism it's been around
15:28
for about 200 years and the vibe is this
15:31
modern society is decadent and we know
15:35
this because values that used to be
15:38
unquestionable are now being questioned
15:42
it's okay to doubt religion publicly
15:45
it's okay to criticize the founding
15:48
stories of the nation or go against
15:50
long-standing institutions and so we've
15:52
lost our absolute values we've lost our
15:55
way and this is very very bad not only
15:57
bad in fact it's apocalyptic every
16:01
generation of anti-modernist has claimed
16:03
that the current decadence is the last
16:06
straw if Obama wins he'll make
16:09
Christianity illegal if Jeremy Corbin
16:11
wins he'll never leave office if the
16:14
French Revolution sticks Europe will
16:16
devolve into Anarchy if the sjws get
16:18
their way then video games will be taken
16:19
away forever and if if if if the
16:24
then men forget about it this is always
16:28
more of a Vibe than an argument anti
16:31
modernists have claimed for the last 200
16:32
years that Society stands on the brink
16:34
of nihilism and chaos
16:36
and they've been consistently wrong but
16:39
it is a very popular tune Jordan
16:43
Peterson absolutely fits in here you
16:47
know how on YouTube now there's suddenly
16:48
loads of videos about which video games
16:50
and movies are woke or anti-woke and
16:53
there's this whole like Dei moral
16:55
Panic that's antimodernism too it's all
16:58
this anxiet y about old values being
17:00
questioned now that more people are
17:01
getting included when conservatives say
17:03
that Liberals are doing things like
17:04
changing the meaning of the word woman
17:07
and making it so you can't even speak
17:09
the truth about biology anymore that's
17:11
anti-modernism too you know you're
17:13
questioning the old ways when manosphere
17:15
misogynists say that women should be
17:17
tradwives and men should be Alphas even
17:18
though that doesn't seem to make either
17:20
group happy when conservatives say
17:22
things like oh immigrants are are coming
17:25
in and they don't share our values and
17:26
they're poisoning the blood of the
17:28
nation that's all anti-modernism too you
17:30
know you're mixing things that shouldn't
17:31
be mixed spiritually morally racially
17:34
poisoning the blood that was a phrase
17:40
ner and then by Adolf Hitler and then by
17:44
Donald Trump Elon musk's Department of
17:45
government efficiency and the British
17:47
conservative party saying that there's
17:48
too many woke Dei higher civil servants
17:51
now too many too many federal employees
17:54
getting in the way of the will of the
17:56
People Too Much discussion too much
17:58
abstraction too much questioning not
18:00
enough doing he just said the exact same
18:02
thing he said that Germany had too many
18:05
representatives and intermediaries in
18:07
politics and not enough men of action I
18:09
mean once you start reading it it really
18:11
is astonishing how much it's just the
18:15
same thing when anti-modernist go on
18:18
this let's shrink the state Crusade they
18:21
become natural allies of big
18:23
corporations big corporations hate
18:25
regulation and government because it
18:27
cuts into their profits so they team up
18:31
Elon Musk is the embodiment of that team
18:34
up the solution that anti-modernist pose
18:37
is usually one of two things either we
18:41
all have to become religious again or we
18:45
all have to embrace some kind of new
18:47
values that don't include things like
18:51
pluralism uh and freedom and discussion
18:53
and democracy in practice though it
18:55
shakes out to the same thing
18:59
for anti- modernists Liberal democracy
19:00
was a mistake that needs to be rolled
19:02
back and when anti modernists team up
19:05
with big corporations to take over the
19:07
government historians call that
19:10
mix fascism but here's why we can't just
19:14
dismiss it as nihilism or Madness
19:17
because there is a kind of void at the
19:21
heart of society of course there is we
19:23
can feel it every day I I
19:26
mean check this out unless you win the
19:29
lottery or you come from money you're
19:31
basically just a container for skills
19:34
that employers want at the drop of a hat
19:37
you might have to move cities move
19:40
countries retrain give up your artistic
19:43
dreams learn to code take on debt
19:47
neglect your family neglect your health
19:48
neglect your caring responsibilities you
19:52
know disregard your heritage lose your
19:55
accent and and become indistinguishable
19:57
from a billion people all trying to do
20:00
the exact same thing as interchangeable
20:01
as nails and a fence posts all to make
20:04
money some of which is going to go to
20:06
you but but most of which actually is
20:07
going to go to your boss uh and your
20:10
landlord and your insurance company if
20:12
you're American that is a kind of
20:15
nihilism that that is against living
20:17
it's against human life it doesn't make
20:20
anyone feel good I mean it definitely
20:22
happens if you're poor but there are a a
20:25
lot of places like Elite universities
20:27
where there are plenty of people who
20:28
would just burned out on how difficult
20:32
it is to make a living that is the way
20:35
that the economy is organized and it
20:39
sucks it it it sucked in n's time and it
20:43
sucks even harder now we should change
20:47
this in Nature's Universe culture is
20:51
Downstream from politics which is
20:53
Downstream from values which is
20:55
Downstream from race but a more accurate
20:57
picture would be be to say that
20:59
everything is Downstream from the way
21:01
that the economy is organized even our
21:03
values and we all have to compromise our
21:05
values so often just to survive and
21:14
twist the philosopher Wendy Brown says
21:19
theocracy the government tells you who
21:21
you have to be worship this God value
21:24
these things follow these rules but in a
21:26
liberal democracy the government doesn't
21:28
do that doesn't tell you what you're
21:29
supposed to Value because you have
21:30
things like separation of church and
21:32
state and pursuit of happiness and a
21:33
degree of individual liberty and so on
21:35
the idea is you bring your own values to
21:38
life and you you you find out what they
21:40
are by living it making a conscious
21:42
choice about what you value out of life
21:45
and what it is that you want doing the
21:47
kind of Nan thing of becoming an
21:49
individual and asserting yourself and
21:50
and claiming your own values it's really
21:53
really difficult it's scary there's a
21:56
lot of obstacles in the way and what if
21:58
it turns out that your values and the
22:00
things that you want out of life aren't
22:03
what mainstream Society approves of well
22:05
then things can get a little difficult
22:07
believe me so we get this tension
22:11
between Democratic nihilism which is
22:15
kind of by Design and like kind of a
22:17
good thing it allows you room to grow as
22:19
an individual and bring your own values
22:20
to life and on the other hand we have
22:23
capitalism running in and saying I know
22:24
what the answer is you should value
22:27
making a profit and we have nationalism
22:29
running in and saying I know what you
22:30
should value you should value the nation
22:31
and we have racism running in saying I
22:33
know what you should value you should
22:34
value the race and we have religion
22:35
running in and saying I know what you
22:37
should value you should value the
22:38
teachings in this book and so there's
22:40
this constant push and pull between
22:42
democracy and anti-democracy going on
22:48
wow we've really come a long way from
22:51
from my friend arguing with his daughter
22:53
I really wish I had a a kind of piffy
22:55
video essay answer to this uh to this
22:57
problem that Wendy Brown identifies that
22:59
is kind of the philosophy tube way isn't
23:01
it like hey but here's the thing that
23:02
you can do here's the here's the John
23:04
Oliver positive takeaway but uh I really
23:06
do think that that tension is quite
23:08
possibly one of the defining questions
23:10
of the 21st century so we are all going
23:12
to find out the answer together in real
23:15
time here's something that I thought of
23:17
though when I was writing this episode I
23:19
have another friend who was born
23:21
disabled and a while ago I used the word
23:24
freak in front of her to describe
23:27
someone else and she to me
23:29
hey that word really makes me feel bad
23:31
could could you use something else and
23:33
just for a second I got mad in my head
23:35
cuz I was like obviously I wouldn't use
23:38
the word freak to describe you I would
23:40
never use the word freak to describe
23:41
somebody who was disabled like stop
23:43
telling me what to say obviously I would
23:45
use it to describe someone who was weird
23:47
I wouldn't use it in that way like why
23:49
are you telling me that I'm bad why do
23:50
you think that I'm bad how could you
23:51
think that about me just just just get
23:53
off my back is what I thought but then I
23:55
reflected a little bit and I realized
23:57
that using a different word probably
24:01
wasn't going to impact me all that much
24:03
and by using that word I was sort of
24:07
throwing her off the balance of her day
24:09
I was like you know putting a wrench in
24:10
her in her system and I could avoid
24:13
doing that so having reflected
24:19
internally I made the choice to bump
24:22
that word down the list of my vocabulary
24:24
I made her life a little easier and that
24:27
decision came came from me so I enhanced
24:29
her freedom and I also used my freedom
24:34
it wasn't a a Will To Power trick she
24:37
wasn't trying to Will To Power me and I
24:39
wasn't trying to get like woke brownie
24:40
points by using my will to power to kind
24:42
of virtue signal to her it was it was
24:44
just we enhanced our freedom together
24:48
antimodernism and nature are both pretty
24:53
individualistic and that's where I think
24:56
it kind of falls down this trying to
24:59
become a heroic individual thing that to
25:03
me feels a little bit like being on a
25:05
treadmill because even if you you become
25:08
the great individual and you achieve
25:09
everything you become so dominant and
25:11
strong like who who do you have to share
25:12
it with I mean you know look at a guy
25:16
Musk he has so much and he's he's
25:19
miserable he's the richest man in the
25:21
world but like you know ketman is not
25:23
that expensive nobody who accomplished
25:24
anything worthwhile ever managed it on
25:26
their own and and not everybody who
25:27
challenges us is trying to pull some
25:28
kind of Will To Power virtue signaling
25:31
trick on us sometimes that they're just
25:32
trying to grow too I I mean here's my
25:35
hot take that's why I kind of like
25:37
pluralism and and modernism and
25:40
individual freedom because we all have
25:42
the potential to grow and change and in
25:44
unexpected ways we have the potential to
25:46
do it together too and and that's why I
25:49
like that the government doesn't tell me
25:51
what to believe or what God to worship
25:54
know who knows what you could turn out
25:56
to be that's that's how I think of it
25:58
anyway it's not really a conclusion it's
25:59
more of just a hey that's that's
26:02
something that occurred to me when I was
26:03
writing this I think it's good that
26:05
Society doesn't Just Produce clones of
26:07
the same person all the time you know I
26:09
think it's good that everyone's not just
26:11
NPCs and uh and speaking of NPCs I
26:14
actually wrote A Part three to This n
26:16
series it's about a video game called
26:19
the outer worlds uh and how it helps me
26:22
confront nihilism uh like a lot of
26:24
people I've been feeling the nihilist
26:28
lately and feeling a little bit of
26:30
Despair so I wrote a little video about
26:32
a a video game I like and and how it
26:34
helps me deal with that that video
26:36
wouldn't really work on this YouTube
26:38
channel because I get copyright dinged
26:40
for using game footage and also it's a
26:42
kind of weird artsy experiment so you
26:44
can see that video right now by clicking
26:47
the link in the description and going to
26:49

27:13
called Boomers you can find that

called Dracula's ex-girlfriend about
27:25
vampires and abusive relationships you
27:27
can see that on nebula too the other
27:28
cool thing about nebula is it's owned
27:31
collectively by the people who are on it
27:36
like it's it's a collective project I
27:38
own part of nebula's parent company
27:40

27:43
why I don't take sponsorships from

27:46
sponsorships from honey or better help
27:48
