my man ate too much x axis

Wide chad preaching about the peaceful boomer life.

Imagining Mental Outlaw as anything but a terminal is confusing

Your aura is so strong that even the background seems to distort...

So, basically what you're saying is that we need to get the parents to label Linux as "the devil's operating system" and then all the kids will switch to it? How would we go about doing this?

The fact he deepfakes himself with his own face is surreal to me

In the middle east, we say: “.كل ممنوع مرغوب" The meaning In English is: “Every forbidden is desired.”

Came for the tech, stayed for the woke rants. Much love from Cambridge MA!

This is your brain on Luke Smith

Wtf Luke Smith with hair and darker skin

Our messiahs are here : Chad Luke Tyrone Mental Outlaw Peace be upon them 🙏

Reminds me of the other bald guy that always has something to say

"Getting a little off track here... WEED!" lmao

That's what happen when you compile everything, you just have time to think and become a wise man.

'Murder is evil.' 'COOOOOOOOL! I'll do it! Thank you!' EDIT: Wow, everyone noticed the stretched aspect ratio. I'm proud of you.

Before we had mass media our culture had to rely on traditions developed over years. Dad knew drugs were bad because he'd seen a few people who used drugs for a long time, but the couldn't tell you exactly WHY those drugs were bad. I think a lot of the petty rebellions you mention are from our culture switching from a tradition based knowledge pool to a rational evidence-backed knowledge base. Most of the traditions were right, but some were definitely wrong and today we expect more than our forefathers words to inform our beliefs.

"where i used to live in Georgia" Thats it. I'm 100% convinced you used to skip lunch with Luke "I used to freestyle rap" Smith.

As an actual mormon, I am very sad that we can't have 10 wives anymore. I think it's been banned for at least 100 years. At least 100 years of sadness.

Wide chad is talking.

this man speaks to me on levels no other man can get to irl, much love from a stranded sailor.

Thank you Mental Outlaw, very bad!

Sometimes I disagree with the politics in some of your earlier videos, but this video was very easy to empathize with. You presented your case and reasoning in a very comfortable way (the decision to make this a video and not a voice over was a very good one, imo). I like this kind of video, it encourages more of a human face-to-face dialogue. Good work.

I see you're ready to start ruling your own mesopotamian empire

Always love to watch my favorite imam preaching about tech!

I wonder who profits the most from marketing the _bad_ stuff?? 🤔🤔

I’m getting really confused by these face reveals Luke Smith.....

Elvis, Kiss, Marilyn Manson. sounds like really rebellious underground artists, i wonder what alternative independent record labels dared to back them???

"Wide Mental Outlaw doesn't exist" Wide Mental Outlaw:

Does this mean OpenBSD is cool now?

mental outlaw is so powerful that he's able to bend the thin fabric of reality from just talking

The funny thing is, if you go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, there's 3 Elvis sections. The first is about his music. The second is about how absurd the Satanic Panic was. The third was about how everything those panicking said was 100% true, without actually referring credit back to them.

Yo fr ur life experiences are mad similar to mine from the transition from primary to secondary (uk school) to how adults dealt with things. Been watching ur content for not long now rlly like it. I'm still in teens but leaving all that stupid stuff behind no future in it at all just sadness. Imma be like you bro, remember how much I loved computers when was small (what I dreamed of doing) but all faded away with the bad (lol stupid) environment. Gonna get better tho I have faith in that. Respect for this video big time !

pro tip to the gym bros: when ur tryna look big just stretch a 4:3 picture of ur self LMAO

Wow. The section on marijuana really hit home... I had almost the exact same experience, such an overwhelming negative overreaction towards this substance that lacked any logic or even anecdotal experiences to back up what was said. I made the choice to find out what marijuana was like for myself, and it almost became an outlet of rebellion for me, and led to be a deeply, deeply ingrained part of my life which I am not proud of, but my relationship with it has gotten much healthier with it in the last couple of years since beginning to figure out who I really am divorced from substances. All of this started in middle school! I hope to be able to sit down with my children when they reach that bridge in order to give them a firm understanding of the ACTUAL REALITY of the situation, as you're completely right -- adults when we were growing up (I think we are very close in age, 2000s specifically for me) did not respect our access to information and the dialogues of others on the internet. Thank you for posting this, great video with a lot of great points that I have never heard spoken on so eloquently or honestly.

I was doing baggy pants way back in the day, not because it was cool, but because skating in baggy pants is comfortable. When i was a kid it wasn't cool, i used to buy old man golf pants from Goodwill, cut and sew them into fat pants way before clothing companies did it. A whole bunch of us used to sew our own skate pants in the 80s'. It was all functional, had nothing to do with being 'bad' or 'cool', it's just easier to ollie when your nuts aren't squashed and you can bend your knees proper.

I really enjoy these videos. They're very methodical, well thought out, and intelligent, unlike the reactionary spew I tend to see from most people these days. Please do more of them.

My great grandmother used to laugh when we were little kids and called something "wicked cool" and I asked her why one day and she said "wicked" was a horrible thing when she was growing up.

"Cool" aspect ratio!

Dude I love watching your channel. I'm German. We have beer at age 16 and especially in more rural areas you find a lot of folks that treat beer in the evening like the only thing worth going to work for. But I grew up in such an area and am smoking pot now. But I managed to strike a balance. I recently got promoted. And that wouldn't have happened if I didn't have no drive. In fact the only thing managing to calm me down sometimes IS the holy kush xD

I completely agree. My parents were extremely strict with me when I was growing up compared to all my friends parents back then. And I grew up in the 80's-90's when Marilyn Manson first became well known. He also still happens to be my favorite artist. I still listen to most of the same stuff that I did when I was in high school now I just listen to other types of music as well including rap, r&b, and some pop. But anyways back then my parents used to freak out over every little thing and they haven't changed much. But them freaking out caused me to completely rebel against them and it gave me a bad outlook on life and caused me to be confused. It still effects me to this day even tho I am an adult now. It took me a long time to figure things out because I basically had to teach myself how to do pretty much everything and especially how to properly socialize with others because I knew that the way my parents behaved was wrong. So I didn't have it easy growing up. And my parents still won't admit that they have mental health issues. Also they still blame me for everything bad that happens in my life even things that are out of my control. They still blame me and scream at me every time I make a mistake. It's very sad and its still something that I struggle with. It's very difficult to be around them and now I have 2 sons who are teenagers and have special needs and sometimes I need my parents help with watching the kids cause I'm the only adult in our house at the moment raising them on my own. It's a crappy situation but Im not complaining I realize everyone has problems. I'm just agreeing with u that it is not good and it is now having a negative effect on my kids which is so messed up. They are old and stuck in their ways and don't want to be better people. They pretty much hate me because I have had problems with addiction and I used to be a stripper before the beer bug happened. But I personally love my life. I love being a mom and I explain everything to my kids in a real way that they can understand without screaming at them and I know if I was raising them the way my parents raised me then they would have so many issues. Luckily they are really good kids. Much more well behaved then I was when I was a kid. It's amazing how big of a difference treating kids and young adults with respect can have on them.I can't stand these older people who think that screaming at a kid is going to make them understand anything. It's so bad and worst part is most of them will probly never change. They refuse to listen to any reason but then freak out when their kids act the same way that they behave in front of them. Also I don't know how I found your channel but possibly because we are from the same state. Maybe that's why it got recommended to me. Anyways great video! I couldn't agree more

The section on vices spoke to me as well as other videos where it's a webcam from dimension X. Thanks alot. Finding this channel at the time I did has been ridiculous timing. Continuing to research the linux videos trying to keep away from the ganj. Keep up the good work!

My man can do Computer, fitness and actuall good parenting

Introduce your nephew to the Gentoo world. I am positive he is not gonna do other drugs after that

Who revived Etika?

Totally pictured you as white nerd/geek or hippy. 😂👍

Linux was made bad by the Windows normies. In the end, it made it cool and it changed my life.

"If man starts marrying other man we will see people marrying there toasters etc" reminds me of an article that talks about a guy marrying an inanimate object.

Damn you spit some real! You should do more of this wisdom type of videos :)

great video - u got some of the best takes. love the old school hip hop references 🙂

It's extremely refreshing to see a mature political discussion that isn't outright "Right or left wing" but is based in real experiences

I'm always trying to be different. That's why I've been mainly interested in boys, when I was younger, and now I'm mainly interested in women.

2:32 Musictard here. Music is emotionally manipulative. There really isn't any good reason why that's the case. But it is. But we like music because it's interesting, novel and personal. For many people it's really nothing more than an identity marker, such that when for whatever reason they don't identify with their social environment, they also often don't identify with their music. That's why kids on bad standing with their parents often "rebelliously" adopt dissimilar music in lieu of that to which their parents listen. But the reason why jazz appealed to younger audiences, and didn't appeal to older, may have to do with the specific emotional quality of jazz. I don't know how jazz was received in the US in particular, but I speculate that it was the classical traditionalists that provided the strongest resistance. Like GNU/Linux, classical music is in many ways the elite of the music world. And like GNU/Linux, it's often with good reason. Classical music, at least in the beginning of the 20th century, had the overwhelmingly most structurally emotionally diverse qualities as compared to folk and other ethnic music. So enthusiasts came to identify with this quality of predictability and wealth. But when jazz came about, it challenged this establishment, despite on the surface being crude dance music with emotionally unpredictable qualities. Everyone intuitively understands this, but I guess the music conscious old folk in those days (alongside the racism, I know I know) raised specific concerns about how jazz were instilling an unstructured, virtual optimism in their children, when they should be stern and diligent like their parents. And that was with love, I am sure. Because the manipulative qualities of music are such that when you no longer understand what it is you're listening to (which is often the case with jazz) you also more easily surrender to the emotions that are inherent in the music. Where the pre-romantic classical music was very subtle with their emotional effects, jazz was the exact opposite. And I suppose that while the blues communities from which jazz originated embraced this state of happiness and optimism with its likely historical connotations, that mentality did not go on well with the European schools of music. You could see where the people were coming from. It wasn't so much a question whether jazz _culture_ was a good thing and could be a positive influence, but whether it would tear down the rigorous culture that many believed to be part of the framework of Western civilisation. Although that doubt was surely attributed to racist political propaganda and naysayer objectives in general. So old timers hated jazz. But many youth loved it because it was like a mother. The "classical culture" was generally zealous, somber and religious. It wasn't _fun._ Even kids today who grow up in households with this kind of culture know that. But back then it was pretty extreme. So naturally, kids gravitated towards any group or community without all that commitment and responsibility. And when it became apparent that jazz had come to stay; that jazz was a prominent culture of letting loose that those kids could potentially become a part of, of course that had appeal. I learned history was pretty silly like that. On the one hand you had the parents telling their kids "go do your homework", and on the other you had the kids going "nah, I wanna play with my friends". And the picture of those two was allegorically imprinted on people's minds when the topic of "jazz" was brought up.

Nice to see you here - I first really thought "wtf is happened to Luke Smith" cause I didn't see you in person yet. Anyway keep up doing your nice channel I really appreciate it. Also iam really with you in most points of this video! 😉✌️

But yes, in general, it's best to treat kids, especially smart kids as older than they are, and simply explain things as best as you can to them. Remember kids, weed only after you're 18, and only irregularly, otherwise it fucks with your brain and it can cause psychosis.

Fresh beard my nword

With regards to weed not being a gateway drug, I dunno, you can Google search as much as you want but my empirical evidence, having went thru high school knowing a ton of stoners, is that every one of them eventually moved on to harder drugs. Every single one. I watched a significant portion of my social circle go from sober middle schoolers to stoner sophomores to seniors who would snort crushed up oxycontin pills and probably more.

Honestly, if you can't destroy your own body the way you want are you actually free? Your body is your property, and your property is yours to deal with how you like.

That is Evil stuffs, like thiefing and robbing other enemies lads is super fucking KooL!

Ive been thinking about this for a long time! Im so surprised that I even found a video explaining in depth something I've felt for years let alone it being my man himself💯

Man you are a gem. You seem like a ridiculously well rounded individual.

we need more of those philosophy videos, this one was awesome

I empathize with this. When I was in high school, I started smoking weed and it made me popular. In middle school, I was a loser nerd with no friends and no identity. Bad = cool

incredibly on point, everything. holy shit it's awesome how exactly correct you are in this video. esp the lbgt stuff. I've been trying to say that for years and some listen but I know I would lose friends that aren't even lgbt if I said it to them.

Dude was spitting so much fax 📠 that he bent the matrix around him at one point. 😅

This guy is like my black older brother I wish I always had… so based

I don't know the STD thing definitely worked for me, I'm sitting here at 26 and still terrified of that shit.

On pot: The department of narcotics was also about to be dissolved because they served no purpose. Frantic to keep his position, the director convinced some doctors to classify cannabis as a narcotic (which it is not), and it is classified as to this day. Also, William Randolph Hearst lobbied against because he wanted hemp (non-psychoactive) banned because it was a competitor to his logging empire.

I am glad I found this channel. It's interesting

The human condition means people want to do what they know is wrong. Thousands and thousands of years and this is still the same. I respect talking non passively and being straight to the point👍

This is why piracy will always be cool, because it will always be illegal.

These face cam videos feel like a talk from a cool older brother

Maybe you wanna keep things this way, and that's cool But I think your aspect ratio is wrong because of some config issues with droidcam The default droidcam resolution is 640x480 for the free version and since you manually set the resolution to 1920x1080, the aspect ratio got weirded. I think you should change the setting to either 1440x1080 or buy the pro version "Droidcam X"

I love the dynamic of this channel.

I feel like this is something going on with the right movement. People turning right or somewhat conservative because it is more frowned upon now.

> black guy > selling weed Why are stereotypes always true

i was hair follicle tested for work, some of our lads were selling substances to each other (govt job) we weren't allowed to cut our hair for months because it was hella suspicious. i spoke to the testing lady and she told me it can go a lot further back than 90 days. depends how much hair they take. 1 cm = 1 month

this guys has the most straight up reasonable takes ever

that thermometer be dancin!

I think the video can be watched from 17:43 , cause I can't relate with the American music industry. Great video, I think you made some important points on the subject. I wish every parent listens to your advice.

I love how fucking tan and plain his house is. You are literally the Linux Buff Correll.

I stopped paying attention to pop culture and popular music at 25 (currently 28) and I have no idea what's going on or what's popular and I couldn't be happier. I WILL be the dad telling bad jokes.

Mental outlaw: wide chad edition

can those tips at the end be extracted into getting friends and family to stop buying HP's with windows 10 and iPhones?

eventually drugs became so commonplace "cool undeground" shit that it made me think it was uncool and it made me unnironnically not do drugs just because of that lol

There are three kinds of Luke Smith: Brodie Robertston, Mental Outlaw and Luke himself.

Also liking anime, around a decade ago you were bullied for liking it, and now everybody knows about it and I see it everywhere

Your fan has an elliptical shape. That's kind of weird.

Mental Outlaw has the Chad wojak beard

People will call me racist for this, but I'm just gonna go straight to the front door and say it: You are the dopest black guy I've ever seen and I would love nothing more for the black community than more young black males being like you. The issue of fatherless households would be cleared up within a single generation.

Golden nuggets of wisdom were the fact that Internet gives kids access to knowledge. Not necessarily the truth, but knowledge nonetheless. In a sense the Internet is the new Bible. Kids read it like it's the be-all-end-all solution and trust it more than their own parents. Therefore, telling kids some convoluted metaphor for life isn't gonna work any more. You gotta be straight with them. Gotta figure shit out, and show them how things actually are. Because otherwise they'll quickly lose trust in you, and perhaps never regain it. And it's not like rejecting parental guidance will make them grow up in today's hyperentertaining technological society.

Alice Cooper is attributed to saying "If you figure out a way to piss off a million parents, you've sold your first million records."

Elvis was the original Twerker

February is cool. Thanks for the outside-the-box discussion video.

I had tons of stuff I wrote critiquing this video, then I deleted it. There's nothing I could say that would help anything.

in conclusion: jazz musicians are the reason for racism

Super relatable... especially true here in India where the modern Liberal things hadn't really took off yet, I mean adults here are like the adults you've encountered back in the 90s
