I keep trying to record this video, and I just keep going into a rant, and I'm going to try really hard this time, not to.
We'll see if it actually works, but if you've been following this channel for any length of time,
then you know that freedom of speech is one of our main topics.
It's one of our lines in the sand.
It's the hill we'll die on.
It's one of the most important foundational cornerstones to a free society and to the liberty of the individual.
Because without free speech, you can't have anything else.
It goes all the way back to freedom of thought and perceptual reality.
And without it, you wouldn't even be able to know and comprehend the other rights.
You have to have free speech in a free society.
You have to be able to do that.
And we're seeing the consequences of what happens when you don't all over the place right now.
There are people right now in the wake of this election whose minds have been damaged.
These people have been psychologically harmed by what I would say is probably one of the most
sophisticated propaganda machines that modern humanity has ever known.
And what you're seeing, if you've seen these videos, I don't know if you guys have seen these videos.
I'm not going to play them because I think it's almost like gratuitous at this point
to play these people who are melting down.
There's people Kamala lost and they are losing their minds on the internet.
They're they're shaving their heads.
They are making videos where they were just completely.
I saw a woman throw like completely melting down and then took off running
and slammed herself into a wall.
There are women who are dressing up like handmaid's tale to drop their kids off at elementary school.
You know, it's just they're convinced that all of their rights as a woman have been removed
suddenly now because Trump is reelected, which is not based.
None of this is based in actual reality.
It's based in this illusion of reality that's been built up around these people by in part
the media that they've been consuming.
It has done this to them and the censorship paradigm that has misrepresented
reality to they've been lied to.
They've been lied to.
They were telling these people right up until the election day that Kamala was a shoe in.
They were saying all of the polls said she was going to win.
And and so not to worry about it, but also if you do worry about it,
here's here's what's going to happen when literal Hitler becomes president again
and all your rights get stripped away.
I'm seeing women talking about how if they don't get a divorce in the next two months,
they're not going to be allowed to anymore.
They're not going to be allowed to drive or go to school.
They're I mean, just I am going to say this as nicely as I can.
Please excuse the language.
What are you losing?
Why are you booing on the Internet and saying that you're losing your rights as a woman?
Tell me you're losing nothing, nothing.
Can you work?
Yes.
Can you still make money?
Yes.
Can you get married?
Yes.
Can you get divorced?
Yes.
Can you have children?
Yes.
Can you have one child?
Yes.
Can you have five child?
Yes.
Five children?
Yes.
Can you have five boyfriends?
Yes.
Can you run for office?
Yes.
Can you own a business?
Yes.
Can you be CEA, CEO, CFO, all the things?
Yes.
Oh, can you have an abortion?
Yes.
The amount of the amount of crazy meltdowns that are happening that are based on false
realities that have been put into these people's minds is it's insane.
It's insane to watch.
It almost makes you feel a little crazy when you see it.
I'm not even going to show you these videos because, again, I feel like it's
almost kind of gratuitous.
At first, when Trump was reelected, I think people were saying, I can't wait
to see what the meltdowns on the other side look like.
I saw some people saying that online on social media.
But then when they actually saw what was going on, a lot of people were
pretty horrified.
They were like, wow, this is so not what I thought it was going to be
because it's a far cry and vastly different from that one person who
was kind of throwing a fit on the sidewalk back in 2016.
This is some other level.
You have women straight up shaving their heads and they're all talking
about how they're going to wear blue bracelets now so they can identify
each other in public so they know who's safe.
It's so far beyond reality.
It's just they've broken these people's minds.
With that, though, you have people in the media on that side of the fence
over there who are tripling down on this censorship paradigm.
Like, they're not even going to acknowledge what they've done to people.
I think in a normal country, we would say, hold on a second,
maybe we need to have a different set of regulations for social media
platforms now that this big.
If we could regulate social media because one of the biggest
defenders is DC and Congress have not been able to do one thing
in regard to the rogue corporations.
It's not going to get any better with Elon Musk.
If the platforms, whether it's Facebook or Twitter X or Instagram
or TikTok, whatever they are, if they don't moderate and monitor
the content, we lose total control.
And it's not just the social and psychological effects.
It's real harm.
We lose total control.
And I just want to show you this one thing.
This is the reason I decided to make this video.
I just wanted to make this one point.
This lady is Laura Helmuth.
She is the editor-in-chief of the Scientific American.
Scientific American is a science magazine that has been in print
since 1845 in this country.
It is a very long-running science publication.
And this woman is its editor-in-chief.
She has a PhD from Berkeley.
She's on all kinds of panels.
I'll get to that in a second.
But when Kamala Harris lost the election, she went on to
social media platform and went off about effing fascists.
Gen X is full of effing fascists, solidarity to everybody
who's meanest, dumbest, most bigoted high school classmates
are celebrating early results because eff them to the moon
and back.
And then she started talking about why she left Indiana
because everyone there is racist and sexist and all this
stuff, okay?
So she went off on a whole tirade about basically people
who support Trump and the fact that Kamala was losing.
That's the editor-in-chief of the Scientific American.
Why does this matter?
I mean, if it was just her opinion and she was just some
person, it wouldn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
I don't care what she thinks about whatever.
She can think whatever she wants and she could say
whatever she wants on social media too.
I really don't care.
It doesn't bother me at all.
What bothers me is that she's the editor-in-chief of a
scientific publication that one day after the election
put out this article about misinformation really does
spread like a virus.
Going viral appears to be more than just a catchphrase
when it comes to rampant spread of misinformation.
Scientific American has been pushing the concept of
misinformation for years.
They have many articles about it that you can find.
In fact, one of their articles was written by Laura
Helmuth herself where she brings it up talking
about their November issue and specifically says that
it's one of the hottest areas of research right now
because they're really trying to push this paradigm
that misinformation is like a scientific topic and says
unfortunately because there's just so much to study with
the pandemic, the election, trolls who weaponize confusion
and the massive influence of social media platforms
conspiracy theories and quackery are spreading more
quickly and widely than ever.
We hope that the understanding of science
of misinformation will help us all tell sense
from nonsense and find the best ways to resist
and debunk dangerous myths really dangerous myths
Laura Helmuth like possibly that Gen X is full
of effing fascists like that kind of dangerous myth.
What are you spreading conspiracy theories and quackery?
You know, this is my problem.
Okay, this right here is my problem.
This woman and people like her who are trying to push
the idea that there's a scientific paradigm of
misinformation that warrants censorship when she is
obviously one of the most biased freaking people
that could ever walk earth and she just showed
literally everybody how that works.
She just showed everybody how non partial she is.
Okay, she just showed everybody her personal opinions
on things, but she's yet the editor-in-chief of a
publication that is trying to push a scientific paradigm
of quote misinformation, which is really just another
word for censorship of ideas that go against what these
people want to promote because that's you think
that her opinions that she just shared with everyone
have not really ever entered into the arena of what
does and does not get published in their scientific
publication under the banner of science because
I'm sure that it has because now we're going to
go look at her freaking Wikipedia.
I'm sorry.
This makes me angry.
I just think it's such bullshit.
I really, really do.
This is what makes me sick about it guys.
Okay, this right here.
So she's the editor-in-chief of Scientific American.
She was formerly the health and science editor of
the Washington Post.
She's also served as the president of the National
Association of Science Writers.
See, I just I don't like how they're using that word
like in this in this context.
Okay.
She's a member of the National Academies of Sciences,
Engineering and Medicine Standing Committee on the
Project for Advancing Science Communication Research
and Practice.
That's a thing and she's a member of it.
She's also giving lectures at the American Institute of
Physics, the National Academy of Sciences on on how
science journalists can counter misinformation and
address uncertainty in their reporting.
She's also been a president on the National
Association of Science Writers and a board member
for the Society for Science in the Public and
the American Association for the Advancement of
Sciences sideline service which connects scientists
and journalists.
And there's a whole thing here about her endorsement
of Biden in the 2020 how the Scientific American
endorsed Joe Biden and it says the magazine needs
quote to tell what we know about the consequences
that Trump administration has had for science health
the environment for using evidence for really
understanding and accepting reality end quote.
And to show this time the choice is important for
science.
I it's like I don't you keep using that word but I
don't think you know what it means.
Science isn't this biased.
Okay.
This is not science.
This is people using the phrase misinformation and
disinformation as a way to weaponize the shutting
down of people's alternate voices.
I don't trust somebody who's saying my generation is
all full of effing fascists to be telling me what is
and is not impartially true about misinformation.
Okay.
I don't and I don't know why anyone else should.
I think that's really really really screwed up and
she came out later and she gave one of those like
I'm so sorry it was just the election.
I didn't mean it kind of posts which is really why
would anyone believe any of no one ever believes
those know what you meant was what you said to begin
with now you're just upset everyone saw it you
know and you don't even have the spine to own it now
you're going to pretend like you didn't really mean
that and we're all supposed to go back to
believing your scientific paradigm of misinformation
after you just showed everybody how you really
feel and think about things but you're I'm
sure you're real real impartial right you're real
impartial when it comes to misinformation in your
science magazine literally the day after the election
they're talking about misinformation spreading
like a virus you see what I'm saying why would anyone
trust you as a communicator of anything especially
something like science which is not supposed to be
biased it's not supposed to lean to one side this
is why people don't trust science actually this is
why people feel like science has been captured and
is no longer what it used to be so when you're pushing
information and you're claiming it's under a banner
of science but this is how you actually are you
know I mean I would still be saying this if her
opinion was on the other side of the carpet is
the same thing it would be the same thing so
this isn't about what political side she leans
to this is about how they're going to use a
paradigm of scientific mis and disinformation as a
means of trying to bolster a world view about
things trying to bolster what is and is not science
what is and is not true what is and is not the
way we should look at through the lens of reality
this is the lens she looks at reality through
she just showed everybody what it actually is
underneath all of the officialdom of her
official apologies this is a person who is developing
tip sheets for journalists who are covering you
know the pandemic and talking about scientific
communication and this is the way she actually
thinks about things so you think that doesn't
color how she is editor-in-chief of a scientific
magazine I just can't anymore with this censorship
paradigm that has happened it gutted us it totally
destroyed our channel for years it completely
wiped out everything that we were doing after we
put out minds of men it completely killed our
channel for a very long time we have been
financially damaged by this and we backed up
everything we said with sources our freaking
documentary has 140 sources cited in it it's
basically a PhD level dissertation research
project that's put to video we put everything
out there everyone can go double check everything
we said for themselves and we were harmed by
this you know and a lot of other people were
to and it's just because we aren't on the side
that was in control of saying what misinformation
is or is not of course I wouldn't want to ever
do that because I don't think that's the answer
I think censorship is never the answer
it's historically never been the right answer
everyone who's ever been in favor of censorship
has been on the wrong side of history for the
entire known human history and it will continue
to be that way it always will because it's
mind control at the end of the day censorship
is mind control it's the control of the way
that you can communicate and view the world
it controls the way that you perceive reality
it is control that is what it is there's no good
reason for it ever the answer to bad information
is more information it always has been the
only way you can teach people how to spot bad
information and to think critically about
information is to give them access to all
information that is how people learn critical
thinking skills and discernment you have to
give them access to everything so they can
actually learn how to make good choices for
themselves that is the only way you cannot
protect people from information and thus teach
them about the information that is not how it
works that's not how it will ever work
because they can't learn how to use their
own brain that way you're actually coddling
people and keeping them infantilized and
keeping them from being able to use their
brain by not giving them access to everything
so they can learn to make those choices for
themselves because that then they're making
an actual legitimate choice by coddling
people and not giving them the information
you're actually not allowing them to make
any decisions for themselves they're not
learning how to use their own mind in
relationship to information they're not
learning actual critical thinking skills
I don't understand why people don't
understand it's very simple this is very
simple and we've known this all the way
up until now when this is being enforced as
if it's helping people when it's actually
harming people it's actually keeping people
from being able to use their own minds
better from using their own brain better
it's actually keeping people from being
able to develop critical thinking skills
it's actually keeping people locked in a
control system where they will be dependent
upon arbiters of truth such as this
woman who's going to tell them what
information is true or not when
she obviously has this going on in her own
mind you see the problem there are no
arbiters of truth there's the search and
pursuit of truth which is I think a noble
one obviously nobody can pretend like
they're the arbiter of something and
that's only if we actually took all of
this at face value which you can't do
you just simply cannot do I'm sorry
did does that person seem like she has
the best interest of everybody equally
in mind no okay no she doesn't telling
everyone they're going to protect
people from information is a way of
controlling everybody and making them
dependent on the system to do critical
thinking for them and thus people will
never develop critical thinking skills
for themselves this harms human
consciousness on a mass scale and I
just I don't know why that has to
continuously be repeated it just seems
so obvious but I guess it isn't I guess
it's really not obvious to a lot of
people I guess it's obvious to me for
some reason and us for some reason and
not obvious to everyone else I don't know
we're going to continue to have the
kinds of problems we're having in this
society indefinitely if people can
not be allowed to think for themselves
and develop actual critical thinking
skills for themselves this is a real
problem for humanity worldwide I had
a guy come in on my post and say
science should be an ever-reaching
search for the truth is not a fixed
orthodoxy that is never to be challenged
because if it was a fixed orthodoxy
that couldn't be challenged that would
be more like religion that is why
people are saying it's not science
anymore it's scientism because it's
becoming like a dogma and that's not
what it was ever supposed to be we
don't need a new priest class of
experts quote-unquote who are handing
down to us the science that we're
not allowed to question that is a
humanity going backwards that is not
any kind of advancement for us and
this idea of being protected by people
from our the ability to use our own
minds as adults guys I'm gonna go on
all day it's this is what I mean I
can't talk about this without ranting
it's not possible but but either way
I should have the right to say this
and if you disagree then you should
put more information on top of what
I've said and we should have that
conversation but we're living in a
time period where they're trying to
shut down the ability to even just
have adult conversations and they're
calling it science okay and they're
saying it's a science of arbiters of
truth with people at the helm who
want to put a padded echo chamber
around their worldview and everyone
else's to be rejected under this
kind of a system there's no way
that that is good for anybody it's not
good for them either because these
people who are freaking out right now
that is the consequence of your
misrepresentation of reality echo
chamber that is the consequence of
what all of this censorship and we're
going to protect you from information
and everything else this these people
who are losing their minds that's
the consequence of that you've
been finalized these people and now
this is what is going on they're
actually having these breakdowns
and I think the people on on the
other side of the carpet of this are
thinking no that can't really be
how they're reacting because they
would never react that way and so
they're looking at it go no no that's
not possible no you don't realize
what these people have just been
through on this side I think this
is real fear and panic that these
people are actually having to face
now in reality and they're what you
might think is just an overreaction
or even just something they're doing
for likes and clicks I think is
actually the real side effects of
what this system has done to them for
the last four years and so
society can't keep going on this way
like this is going to tear everybody
apart it's going to tear people down
is destroying people's minds
the censorship control complex
is harming people for real and it
is harming society for real the
only way we move forward is with freedom
of speech it we have to have it
this country was founded upon it and
if we don't go back to that the
destruction of society is going to be
total it is going to be total there
there are people now supposedly who
are harming themselves in the wake
of this I mean that is blood on
somebody's hands okay and the
people who are promoting institutional
censorship should probably look in the
mirror and think about that real hard
because you did not give these people
the ability to use their own minds
and now their minds are actually
damaged from it you held them in
some kind of information bubble and
yes I do agree that people should
have responsibility for themselves
at some level but we're also talking
about a 20th century where psychology
got weaponized hard and that is why
we made the minds of men and everyone
should have access to that information
they should and that movie got censored
too I don't I just felt the need to
talk about this for a minute because
I'm so beyond angry when I think
about the last four years and how
silenced everybody has been and
how controlled information has been
it's so awful like we've all just
lived through some real hell in this
way you know it's bad it's been a very
anti-American time for sure it's not in
the spirit of liberty or the spirit of
this country in any way the things
that have been going on and I'm not
getting my hopes up yet but something
needs to freaking change because look
at how absolutely damaged some people
have been under this paradigm of
censorship it is horrible it is really
horrible to watch some of these videos
that people are doing and they feel
like their their whole world has now
been shattered and to them it's real
just because it isn't real to me and I
could see through it doesn't mean I
can't acknowledge their pain these
people are in fear and pain and it's
horrible so I can't believe this lady
is the editor-in-chief of the
scientific American I just pushing
misinformation to combat what
she's calling crazy conspiracy theories
and quackery meanwhile this is this is
the way she thinks about people this is
what she thinks so the idea that
she's not biased when she's making
determinations about what can be
communicated as science for journalists
I don't believe it I don't believe her
when she says she was just upset
because of an election I've never
been that upset over these elections
that I would go on the internet and
stereotype millions of people and
boil them down to an ms mbc talking
point I've never done that and she's
totally well within her right to have
whatever horrible opinion she wants
that's called freedom of speech but
don't turn around then and try to
enforce a scientific paradigm of
freaking misinformation on everyone
else as if you have any right at
all to sit on some pedestal and say
that to anybody ever do not do that do
not do that that is ridiculous it is
ridiculous okay and I kind of hope
they lose subscribers over this I hope
they lose a bunch of people over this
because this is not science it's also
not American okay I need to change
the name of their free if they're
going to keep her on as editor-in-chief
the scientific American needs to
change the name of their whole
magazine just call it magazine because
it's not science it's not American
because you know it's American freedom
of freaking speech maybe go get
yourself a bill of rights and freaking
read it so done I really hope it
changes I really do Xella I love you
guys but we we can't not just not just
us in America either the whole world
we can't keep living this way like
it's not good for humanity it's not
good for our minds it's not good
for our souls something has to
change because this is wrong it has
been wrong for a long time how much
wronger does it need to get
