Homeless in LA - "Why Don't People Like You Help?"
Hello YouTube! Hope you've been well. I've been getting comments on the "Why People Are Leaving LA" video accusing me and LA residents of not doing enough to help. I can't speak for anybody else, but here are a few of my stories.
As always, I look forward to your comments. These are my personal stories, and I was acting in good faith, and I understand if people disagree. The vast majority of the discussion in the comments' section has been helpful and respectful.
Hello, YouTube! There's a great book from 1985 called 'Amusing Ourselves to Death' by Neil Postman. It warned America about where we would end up if we kept up our wicked ways, which we did. Now, we're here. What do you think? Did TV ruin us? Has social media made it better or worse?
Here is a link to the video about writing in case you missed it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLpde3Urivc
And yes, I've been closely following the events in DC. That video is coming this week. It's a doozy.

Hello, Good People. Balenciaga is in the news for being creepy, and people are finally waking up to their many other creepy behaviors. However, there is something going around online that is FALSE, and Google translate is involved.
This was a very well done hoax! People who got caught in it are not dumb. The people who orchestrated it are thinking many steps ahead. Please, correct the people who got duped by this and explain to them what really happened. We can ALL learn from this one.
Also, it doesn't mean that Balenciaga isn't creepy and that high fashion isn't very strange, or that people shouldn't get over their obsession with luxury brands!

Hello, Good People. Big news, we've officially moved into a post truth world where you won't be able to trust online videos, only what you see with your own eyes IRL. And what brought us here? Drag Queen Story Hour! Fantastic.
We go into that here.
I've got a cult video coming next week, but I obviously had to stop everything to cover this. Such an important and dystopian milestone. Happy to share it with you all.

Hello, YouTube! Everything we've been taught about morality is a lie! Just finished a great book by Jonathan Haidt called "The Righteous Mind." Here is a very brief summary of my thoughts. It's a solid read, might take you a week or so, but worth it if you're questioning what's wrong with people, as is the fashion to do.
Let me know your thoughts. Did you take the YourMorals.org quiz?
Also, I'm following up with an interview with psychiatrist Dr. Donald Brown, and we go deep into morality and what is "normal." Stay tuned for that.
Here's the link to the epic film, La Revolution Francaise (1989). It might take you a few days, but it's fantastic.... And that's why you don't worship reason!

Hello, World! Alex Jones has been off of YouTube for three years now, but he has been busier than ever. Between the Jan 6th Insurrection, numerous defamation suits and his contrarian C19 coverage, Alex is only increasing his influence in America.
It's too much to cover. This video is primarily about the recent ruling against him over Sandy Hook and an update on his infamous banned network, Infowars.
Some resources for this video.

Alex's channel can be found at banned[dot]video. REMEMBER, IT'S FULL OF SPIN AND HE'S SELLING PRODUCTS, a warning that applies to most media now, but very much here.

Hello, Good People! Rich or poor, we are all free to ACT in ways that benefit us. What's the point of free will if you don't know how to use it? This video is a 'how-to' on habits.
We see IRL that 'identity' comes second to habits and behavior. What you are doing counts more than who you are. You are what you are doing.

Hello, Friends! Enjoy this cooking segment with recipes from Good Things to Eat (Rufus Estes), the first cookbook by an African-American chef. And you know, first doesn't always mean best.
The lovely @SabrinaSith made the recipe vegan, and that wasn't the biggest problem. Thanks to @Tony Baker @Tahir Moore his lovely wife Farren and Brennon Edwards for the honesty. We appreciate honesty.
