Why Hollywood Changed its Message- (feat. @carefreewandering)

Someone should study the correlation between being ginger and majoring in Philosophy

I always thought of myself as a shy introvert, until I did a college semester abroad (Madagascar, Africa). Then...not sure if it was the excitement of new surroundings, different culture, the need to learn and practice new languages (French and Malagasy), but I morphed into a extroverted, outgoing, life of the party social butterfly!! I loved being in a completely new world where there was no expectations of me and it opened me up. But I was still shocked at how my personality just felt different overseas. When i returned to the US, I tried holding on to some of that "extroverted-ness" but I kinda went back to being introverted again. Environment does have an impact on us.

I always watch these philosophical videos twice in a row to understand them. On the first watch, I start to understand the framing of the idea, and during the second watch, I fill in the gaps in my understanding.

I miss you on Wisecrack. It's not the same over there anymore.

Ironically the most rebellious and revolutionary thing that anyone can do is just to be yourself, "normal" instead of being against any social tendency, construction or rules, trying to be unique or eternally molding yourself to be against of any tendency.

Carefreewandering and Jared together??? That is the best combo ever!

I think people could also dislike these movies because not everyone is in the profile curating game and there is no wish to be part of it. I never had Facebook or pictures of myself posted online and I only engaged online from anonymous accounts. I am not sure how much autism might have played into this. Refusing to play the game may be seen in the eyes of a profile curator as actually taking a side in this game, so this social technology becomes harmful because it is poisoning the well in social interactions as it puts into question your intentions. Everything has a hint of the "non-cool group" once you refuse to engage in the curation yourself. It may be right that there is no "true self" deep inside, but the cure for this harmful force remains the cliche adage "Just be yourself."

"Morallity is the hero of identity". Loved it

Dammit Jared, stop being so smart! 😇 one of your best vids yet

9:09 there was an episode of Doug with a similar message. Didn't know as a child I was getting such deep lessons.

Bro who else thought Jared and the professor were the same guy at different stages of their lives 🤣 🤣 🤣

I prefer the metaphor of the rose over the onion or the peach, where the identity is formed out of the combination of progressively revealed layers overlapping (and obscuring) each other.

Man, am I glad you are on youtube, I get genuinely excited when a video of yours pops up in the recommendation feed, reminds me the old days of youtube.

This brought to mind the story of Diogenes, who very much was an authentic person in the context in which he lived...until it became clear that it was indeed his ROLE to be that person. The story of him encountering Alexander the Great embodies this.

Yay, the world and the self is all Marketing now.... I hate marketing.

The majority of films I watch nowadays are older films.

Jared remember when you said. any idea or frame of thinking, when taken to an extreme will create a monster.

Dang, South Park still has it. It feels like The Orvile episode where stocks determined if you get live.

Never looked at it this way.... still falls into the same problem, movies that care about the message more then be a good movie. Yet another factor of the world I just can not get up the energy to care about.

Blessed youtube crossover
