Speaker 1
00:00:00 When you are.
Devon
00:00:30 Good morning, good evening, good afternoon, good all of that fun stuff.
00:00:38 As you might be able.
00:00:39 To tell from the intro music.
00:00:42 We're going to be talking a little bit about.
Speaker 3
00:00:45 The 80s and the 90s a little bit.
Speaker 4
00:00:50 We've been talking a lot.
Devon
00:00:51 About the boomers, well, first of all, before I get started, let me have a sip of my.
00:00:57 My delicious Folgers.
00:01:00 Dark roast or whatever it's called.
00:01:04 Hmm, it's actually not bad.
00:01:08 It's it's pretty good. So yeah. So we talked a lot about the boomers and the one of the reasons why we we talk about the boomers is we're trying to understand the present by examining the past.
00:01:23 And it's it's really easy, like, you know, to start ******** on boomers because you kind of see in some ways it's like the before and after, right. You see where they started out as children.
00:01:35 And now we Fast forward to. I mean, they're still in charge, right? Biden is a boomer, and things are just.
00:01:43 Unbelievably different.
00:01:46 And so, because no generation has managed to wrestle power from them, it's it's you kind of lay a lot of those changes at the feet of of of these people and it's so that's I think why a lot of people start looking.
00:02:00 Back and say.
00:02:01 What? You know what? What went wrong? You.
Speaker 3
00:02:03 Know what happened?
Devon
00:02:05 But I mean, let's face.
00:02:06 It I mean the.
00:02:07 Gen. Xers are getting up there in.
00:02:09 Age, right? They're.
Speaker 3
00:02:11 Like in their 50s now.
Devon
00:02:13 And they'll be in charge pretty soon.
00:02:16 And the, you know, millennials, they're they're in their 40s now.
00:02:22 And you know so.
00:02:24 It's only a matter of.
00:02:25 Time is what I'm getting at.
00:02:28 And so it's just as important to examine.
00:02:33 The people that came after the boomers, if you want to know what's going to happen.
00:02:38 As it is, to examine the boomers.
00:02:42 And in a lot of ways, you kind of have to start with the boomers. Yeah. Yeah, I know. I know. Everyone's tired of talking about boomers, but we're going to.
00:02:48 Take a a little look.
00:02:50 At the Boomers first and then show the transition because once they first got in charge, they were the ones educating jet taxers. I mean they they were.
00:03:00 The ones that that.
00:03:01 Were parents to the Gen. Xers and to the millennials and so forth. So it's it's.
00:03:09 I think necessary to at least intro with some boomer stuff.
00:03:13 And then we're going to look at some Gen. X stuff.
Speaker 3
00:03:17 I don't know if.
Devon
00:03:18 We'll have time for millennials. Probably not.
00:03:21 But anyway, in looking around for videos and trying to find the boomer perspective.
00:03:29 You know, let let them explain it in their own words. There's actually a YouTube channel that's by this there's this Jewish guy that must have been like a videographer for years. And now what he does is he uploads a lot of his old stock footage and stuff like that. And it's.
00:03:46 You know, he's a boomer, so a lot of the stuff that he was documenting over the years was, you know, his boomers.
00:03:52 And he's often shocked at the comments that he receives.
00:03:59 When you know.
00:04:00 On his YouTube videos about boomers and how negative they are.
00:04:04 And in a weird way, it was kind of funny. I mean, I'm sure you guys.
00:04:09 Have seen it if not.
00:04:11 This guys channel a clip that he's uploaded before right, a lot of stuff that I was going through on his channel I'd seen before, clipped and and and put into other things.
00:04:24 And he kind of did a video and it was it was a little baffling because he made a video that was kind of.
00:04:31 You wanted to be. It was almost like in defense of like, well, yeah, after reading all these negative comments, he was like, well, no, no. Like we might not have got everything right. But like look and.
00:04:42 We're going to take a look at that.
00:04:44 That video 1st and then we'll transition into the next generation with a focus on education.
00:04:53 Because one of the.
00:04:55 One of the things that.
00:04:58 It's kind of funny. Boomers were inexplicably.
00:05:02 Shocked and confused.
00:05:05 When, after the 1965 Immigration Act kicked in and you started welcoming all these people from around the world, and then in, in addition to that, that's just, you know, the one aspect of it, right. You had all these people coming into schools that didn't speak English. They didn't come from.
00:05:23 You know the same cultural or genetic background, and they were having trouble integrating, but not only that, because the, you know, the classrooms, the way that they are, all the students are held back to basically the slowest kid.
00:05:37 So education has taken a dive because of that. But then?
00:05:40 On top of that.
00:05:41 I mean, look, I mean, I'm sure you've seen enough of this hippie footage to see, like, a lot of these hippies have, like, little.
Speaker 3
00:05:47 Kids running around with them and and and whatnot.
Devon
00:05:50 And you know whether you're watching the the, you know, the hippie buses or like what's I mean, there's kids. Just those are Gen. Xers, right?
00:05:59 And so you have kids that were raised by the boomers raised to express yourself. That was the big thing, you know, express your because they.
00:06:08 They were going to right all the wrongs. Everything that they saw wrong with the 1950s.
00:06:14 They were going to do it completely different. I think. I've talked about how I went to a gifted school where it was basically.
00:06:22 I mean it.
00:06:24 I mean it, they should have had. They should. There shouldn't have been an IQ requirement really, because it was just kind of like, hey, do whatever you want, kids. You're smart.
00:06:33 So a lot.
Speaker 3
00:06:33 Of people did.
Devon
00:06:34 Nothing or not anything that it would amount to learning.
00:06:40 And so at any rate.
00:06:42 Let's get started with with his video. I wanted to do more, but I there's just. I have so much stuff I've I've been doing this all day long. I've got like.
00:06:51 Several hours of videos I wanted to show, but there's just no there's no ******* way. We'll have to get to to some of this other stuff another time.
00:07:01 But let's just go straight to this guy. His name is, I forget his name.
00:07:06 I'll show I'm not going to play his intro.
00:07:09 Ohh there it.
00:07:09 Goes it's David Hoffman. Is that what he said?
00:07:13 All right. Well, David Hoffman, so.
00:07:16 And I guess I have to.
00:07:17 Turn audio on for you guys, so you can.
00:07:19 Hear him say he's David Hoffman, so.
00:07:21 This guy's got a YouTube channel.
00:07:24 And this is he. He briefly explains. We're just going to zip through it that ohh all these people are are putting all these negative comments about boomers and you know he.
00:07:35 Goes on and on and on.
00:07:37 Alright, so then he says. Well, here's here's some footage I put together because I wanted to.
00:07:42 Show you.
Speaker 5
00:07:43 What the boomers?
Devon
00:07:44 Were rebelling against and what his point was. Well, you gotta understand, you know, you know, the the boomers, we, they were showing us all these educational films. You know, you've all seen them like these real cheesy, corny black and white educational films.
00:07:59 And we would watch these in school and.
00:08:02 And we'd say that's not realistic. That's not real. And so that we were rebelling against that and and honestly, it's it's I did an entire video on this. I did a video about the movie Pleasantville.
00:08:12 Pleasantville is basically a a movie about this boomer view of the past, where they would watch, you know this, leave it to Beaver stuff. And this propaganda, it was propaganda, this propaganda.
00:08:24 Like a you know.
00:08:25 How not to be the slot in school?
00:08:27 And and stuff.
00:08:28 Like that and they.
00:08:29 Hated it. They hated.
00:08:30 It they responded very negatively to it and they went 180 degrees.
00:08:35 Out of phase with it.
00:08:37 And so his his his point is well.
Speaker 3
00:08:40 Look, I mean.
00:08:41 Can you blame us? Can you blame us? We they had all these black and white. You know, things telling us to be perfect. And we.
00:08:49 Didn't want to be perfect.
Devon
00:08:51 So that is.
00:08:52 That is the tone of the footage.
00:08:54 He he will present here. So we'll take a.
Speaker 6
00:08:57 Look, that is what this clip is about. 1989 interviews with people considering what they did back in the 60s and trying to explain it to younger generations.
Speaker 7
00:09:08 This boy and girl coming home from school look quite content with life. They're looking forward to an important date. Dinner at home with the family.
Speaker 8
00:09:18 Though they seem artificial today, educational films like this one, which were shown to schoolchildren all over America, accurately reflect the attitudes and values of white middle class society in the 1950s, when real life documentaries were few and far between.
Speaker 7
00:09:34 Doesn't that sound exciting to you?
Speaker 8
00:09:36 Their purpose was to teach kids the proper way to behave and to repeat and reinforce a set of rules.
Speaker 9
00:09:45 The rules were were were things you talked about on the telephone with your friends and and they were they were imposed by your parents. Parents talked about it a lot. There were high school counselors who told you what the rules were. And even if they weren't written down, everybody.
00:10:05 Really knew and you could almost read them out.
00:10:08 Fight them and I think looking back on it from the 60s, what we what, what people did in the 60s was self consciously break every damn one of them.
Devon
00:10:17 See now this goes to a lot. A lot of people will say, well, you know the generation before the baby boomers, they failed to transmit the culture and, you know, tell them to preserve the culture. So you know, you can't just lay it all at the feet of the baby.
00:10:33 Honestly, the more I I look into this, it looks like they tried really hard. They tried really hard to transmit the culture to the next generation. Now at the same time, this is the same generation that did the Springfield plan and brainwashed the like. Look, that's you know, the how to behave stuff wasn't. That's not the only propaganda.
00:10:53 These guys were pumping out that was going hand in hand with the, you know, hate your culture, hate your culture, love all this, this other culture. So it's kind of the schizophrenic.
00:11:04 But it's funny that the the culture that the baby boomers decided to reject wasn't the.
00:11:12 The you know.
00:11:13 Hates your history. Hates your history. Hates your history. Love this exotic new thing, and be very tolerant and peace and love and all this other fun stuff. I mean, they embraced that.
00:11:21 100%.
00:11:23 What they rejected was their. I mean, their culture. And again, like I said, I think it's probably as a result of this schizophrenic messaging from the generation before them.
Speaker 7
00:11:36 The women of this family seemed to feel that they owed to the men of the family to look relaxed, rested and attractive at dinner time.
00:11:44 Brother notices the time and realizes that he must put things in order and clean himself up in time for dinner.
Speaker 8
00:11:52 What were the rules?
00:11:54 One of them was obey authority. Don't ask questions. In the 60s, millions of young people would renounce that one.
Speaker 7
00:12:03 These boys greet their dad as though they.
Devon
00:12:06 See, but this is all right. That's a that's basically that's an oversimplification of it, because what she's trying to do.
00:12:12 So is, in hindsight explain away the the Boomers rejection of authority? That's that's way too general. You can't just say that it was about obey authority. It was what? What specifically was it?
00:12:28 It was a Bay the the the white patriarchy, right?
00:12:33 That's what it was that. That's what the the boomers have been actively dismantling for the last 60 years. So it's not just authority.
00:12:44 Because authority can come from all kinds of places.
00:12:48 Are are you obeying or disobeying authority? When a Black Lives Matter guy walks up to you and tells you to kneel?
00:12:57 To show that you stand with Black Lives Matter.
00:13:03 Is that obeying authority?
00:13:06 Of course it is.
00:13:08 Of course it is.
00:13:12 When the and this is going to, they're going to get into.
00:13:14 This in a.
00:13:14 Moment when the the the Twitter rules, the Twitter rules are enforced and people lose their accounts.
00:13:25 Is that framed as well? I mean, good on you for not obeying authority. No, no, of course not. That's that's the home of private company.
00:13:37 They they're all about authority.
00:13:40 When it comes to this, this whole, this whole disobey authority, disobey authority thing that the the boomers often hide behind, that doesn't seem to ever apply to anything that they want. It's very selective. And like I said, I think it's it's it's mostly geared towards the white patriarchy. That's what they really mean when.
00:14:00 They say this.
Speaker 7
00:14:01 They are genuinely glad to see him as though they had really missed being away from him during the day and are anxious to talk to.
00:14:09 This is the time for pleasant discussion in a thoroughly relaxed mood.
Devon
00:14:14 Oh, the ******.
00:14:16 The horrors I I can't believe you were subjected to that baby boomers. You mean they're they're telling you that you shouldn't harass your dad with all kinds of chaos. As soon as he walks in the door from working at the factory all day long to to to pay for the home that you live in.
Speaker 7
00:14:35 They don't pick this time of the day to spring unpleasant surprises on dad.
Speaker 10
00:14:41 We are moulding our boys the way we feel they should be molded in the 50s.
00:14:47 Think you have to start molding right away when they're just infants, and so that was our influence. We tried to make this a very influential time, a constructive time through Boy Scouts through church.
00:14:59 Two Cub Scouts, 2 Little League or not, Little League, but the Little Pony legs or whatever they had, you know, these little kids was awfully cute.
00:15:06 Yeah, they were fun times.
00:15:07 With our kids, with our boys we had.
00:15:09 A great time.
Speaker 7
00:15:11 Let Father and mother guide the conversational trend. If they desire, after all, they.
00:15:17 Made all this possible.
Speaker 12
00:15:19 My impression of that time was that a child was to be seen and not heard, and that we were never allowed to express anything that was negative. We were never allowed to talk back in any way, even to question. Why should I do something? Or could I do it later?
00:15:39 We weren't treated as we as if we were people, we were another species.
Speaker 8
00:15:47 Another rule? Control your emotions.
Speaker
00:15:51 Oh no.
Devon
00:15:53 Control your emotions. That that sounds terrible. I wonder. I wonder what society would look like if we stopped telling people to do that.
Speaker 8
00:16:02 In the 60s, masses of baby boomers would reverse this one and quote let it all hang out.
Speaker 13
00:16:08 Oh, I'm so happy I could be a model.
Speaker 14
00:16:12 Or a cover girl.
Speaker 15
00:16:15 And what's gotten into that crazy kid? Sister Jeff, don't.
00:16:19 Be that way.
Speaker 16
00:16:21 Notice how mother seems to become angry herself because of Jeff.
00:16:26 Perhaps she shouldn't, but anger is a violent emotion, and we often see an induction of behavior or spread of emotion to other persons, almost like a contagious disease. If you misbehaved, you weren't normal, and and the idea of normal.
Speaker 9
00:16:43 Is that it?
00:16:44 Is a kind of vegetative state where nothing happens.
00:16:47 Uh, but that's what everybody tried to aspire to. But I think I think it's a word that.
Devon
00:16:54 I don't know. I kind of feel like when I watch hippie footage and they're just sitting on a park bench.
00:17:00 Drooling is that.
00:17:03 I I feel like that's kind of a vegetative.
00:17:05 State that you tried to normalize.
Speaker 9
00:17:08 People are constantly using.
00:17:10 To to exhort you to behave better. Why don't you be normal? It's not normal to. It's not normal to wear your hair long. It's not normal to to wear Levis. It's not normal to listen to rock'n'roll. It's it's not normal to to read comic books. It's there's a whole list of of a million things that everybody does that.
00:17:31 Isn't normal.
Speaker 17
00:17:33 Well, what makes you think they look at?
00:17:34 Your clothes. Ohh.
Speaker 18
00:17:36 Because the other fellas wear sweaters or just shirts, not a regular.
Speaker 1
00:17:40 Suit like mine.
Speaker 17
00:17:42 Well, wear a sweater then.
Speaker 8
00:17:44 Another rule fit in with the group don't stand out. Conform in your actions and your appearance in the 60s.
Speaker 17
00:17:47 And that was kind of rating.
Devon
00:17:53 Yeah, that's that's that's how you build cohesion.
00:17:57 In a society.
00:18:00 Cohesion is good.
00:18:03 See that this reframing of cohesion as conformity.
00:18:09 And in his conformity, really that bad?
00:18:14 I mean, clearly, look, I'm I'm. I'm not exactly someone that's conformed to society I ever. So I get it, I get it.
00:18:25 It can be restrictive.
00:18:27 And look, I don't know how much of this is just baby boomers hammered into my head and how much of this is just.
00:18:34 Organic or or whatever, or if.
00:18:36 There is such a thing.
00:18:38 But yeah, I I I agree that having some expression of your of your own personal tastes and stuff like that and some freedom in the way that you dress and but what we're talking about here is in school.
00:18:53 You know, they weren't in most cases weren't required to wear uniforms. They just. They're just saying, hey, don't, don't dress like a freak.
00:19:01 You if you're getting.
00:19:02 Made fun of for for dressing like a weirdo. Don't dress like a weirdo.
00:19:06 Sound advice?
Speaker 8
00:19:08 Numbers of young people.
00:19:10 Would quote do their own thing?
Speaker 17
00:19:11 Pick out the most popular boys and girls in school and keep an eye on them.
00:19:17 Trying to figure out why people like them.
00:19:21 Not that you'll ever be just like any of them, but you might learn something.
00:19:26 Well, see you there.
Speaker 8
00:19:30 Many young people found these restrictions painfully repressive, but they struggled to obey them anyhow, because if they didn't, they knew there'd be unpleasant consequences from society or from their peers.
Speaker 1
00:19:44 Jenny thinks that she has the key to popularity. Parking in cars with the boys at night.
00:19:49 When Jerry brags about taking Jenny off, he learns that she.
00:19:53 Dates all the boys.
Speaker 20
00:19:55 Hi, welcome Phil.
Speaker 1
00:19:55 What about Jenny? Does that make her really popular?
Devon
00:20:00 Well, it makes her a *****.
00:20:01 And people used to be.
00:20:03 Open about that and again they were shamed for it.
00:20:06 We've talked about this.
00:20:07 A number of times it's bullying.
00:20:10 Was the immune system.
00:20:13 And because society is not better off with more ******.
00:20:18 Being shamed and bullied for being a *****.
00:20:22 Is a positive thing.
Speaker 1
00:20:25 To the boys and girls like her, is she? Welcome to join this group.
Speaker
00:20:26 You promised me last night. Coffee before class. Hi, Betty.
Speaker 19
00:20:32 You can rest to try here. Jenny for.
Speaker 15
00:20:34 A minute. Thanks. See, Wally, how's the play coming along?
Speaker 21
00:20:39 Oh, OK, Jenny.
Speaker 1
00:20:41 Here, Jenny, no girls who park in cars are not really popular, not even with the boys they park with, not when they meet at school or elsewhere.
Speaker 13
00:20:42 Thanks Jerry.
Speaker 23
00:20:54 Nothing like being miss popularity.
Speaker 24
00:20:56 Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 22
00:20:58 I think that.
Speaker 15
00:21:00 There was this.
Speaker 22
00:21:02 Sense that, yeah, well, sure. They're using sex to be popular now. But you know what about in the future, they're going to be, like, thrown on the.
00:21:10 Rubbish pile and I and.
00:21:11 I and I think that that did happen.
00:21:12 Because I think that that.
Devon
00:21:14 Yeah, it does happen.
00:21:17 That that's.
00:21:18 That's how it works.
00:21:23 Let's see shaming of that behavior.
00:21:29 Saves women.
00:21:31 From that, from that destiny.
Speaker 22
00:21:34 Boys did maintain an attitude of, you know, they wanted to *** ****, but they wanted to marry a.
00:21:40 Virgin. Yes, isn't that?
Devon
00:21:43 No hymen, no diamond. No. But again, that's that's that's that's.
00:21:51 That's not something that's repressive.
00:21:59 Because women aren't that because, precisely, that is how men think. You know, everyone's familiar with, you know, in mobster movies, right? They've got, like, the, the I, I forget the stupid Italian word for it. But like they they always have like the the girlfriend and.
00:22:14 They have the wife.
00:22:16 And the girlfriend? They, you know, just basically just a *****.
00:22:20 But the wife.
00:22:22 They wanted to be nice and proper.
00:22:27 That's just, that's just regular.
00:22:30 Male nature. You want like a wife? Who's?
00:22:34 Who's a?
Speaker 3
00:22:35 A good woman.
Devon
00:22:37 Who hasn't been with all of your friends?
Speaker 21
00:22:41 It sure is Sabian all.
Speaker 19
00:22:44 Gee, I haven't seen her since she left school.
Speaker 8
00:22:47 And maybe this was the biggest rule of all. Don't even think about having sex.
00:22:52 In the 60s, young people all over the country would proclaim if it feels good do it.
Speaker 16
00:22:59 Mary. Mary. Mary. Wait, please. Sorry, Mary.
Speaker 12
00:23:09 In the height of.
Speaker 25
00:23:09 Emotion. It's not always easy to stop and think things through.
00:23:15 But if you.
00:23:16 If you just slow.
00:23:18 Down the rush and pressure of your feelings a little.
00:23:23 Then judgment has a better chance to take hold and guide you away from wrong behavior.
Devon
00:23:30 Again, what? What? What's wrong with that?
00:23:33 I mean.
00:23:34 And you could just as easily.
00:23:35 Flip that around to, you know, a guy and say you.
00:23:38 Know it's like.
00:23:40 The the way to simplify that is just don't think with **** ****.
Speaker 26
00:23:45 It was sort of a nightmare.
Devon
00:23:47 It's a nightmare.
Speaker 26
00:23:49 Looking from the outside, I'm sure it didn't seem that way to observe her, but for me, I felt so lonely.
00:23:56 All that was.
00:23:57 Popular and I didn't have those problems I.
00:23:59 Wasn't a nerd.
00:24:00 Or anything like that but.
Devon
00:24:05 OK. Just.
Speaker 26
00:24:10 There just wasn't anybody from my planet is the way that I kind.
00:24:13 Of described it.
00:24:15 I felt like I had so much bottle up inside of me.
Speaker 8
00:24:19 Most kids trying to behave properly did keep it all bottled up inside, but a minuscule number began to rebel. It was a preview of coming attractions.
Speaker 22
00:24:32 What startles me when I look back at my yearbook photos now? They all look so old. Everybody looks so old.
00:24:42 I mean, they look like little adults.
Devon
00:24:44 That's because that's precisely what they are.
00:24:48 We shouldn't have this this reality now that we've got where people are juveniles well into their well, I mean, some people never grow out of it, right.
00:25:00 You're you're not supposed to still be figuring **** out. You know, when you're in your 30s or however old this lady is.
00:25:11 You should look like a little adult because you're a little adult.
Speaker 22
00:25:17 You know.
Devon
00:25:18 And and look at a yearbook now.
00:25:19 I mean ****.
00:25:21 To say that that you prefer a I mean a a class photo from a modern yearbook to something from the 50s and and you know, going.
00:25:30 On into the 60s.
00:25:33 I mean your books today. It's the stuff of nightmares.
Speaker 22
00:25:36 They don't. It's it's startling to me how, how old, how already getting into the groove, all of these people look with their flat top crew cuts and and then every so often, you know, you turn the page and you see the guy with.
00:25:49 The duck tail and you know, here's the rebel.
Speaker 8
00:25:57 Being a rebel by Slicking your hair back and wearing a black leather jacket seems harmless now, but in the 1950s many adults saw this as the first sign of teenagers going bad.
Speaker 15
00:26:14 Many teenagers are as concerned as their parents with the public.
00:26:18 'S conception of today's youth.
00:26:21 These students are portraying what we consider bad taste in school attire and behavior. This student is well.
Devon
00:26:30 Imagine that.
00:26:32 I don't know when this when this particular clip, what year it's from, but that right there, what she's wearing right there was considered out of line.
00:26:44 And now just compare that I mean.
00:26:45 Look, there's.
00:26:47 I mean that that's very that's considered very conservative now.
Speaker 15
00:26:52 During an extremely tight skirt.
Speaker 8
00:26:54 Improper dress was an innocent way to defy adult restrictions, but a growing number of young people were turning against societies. Rules in more significant way.
00:27:04 Ways. Some were inspired by the Beatniks, a small but conspicuous group of young adults in the big cities who dabbled in marijuana, wrote poetry, and won scores of imitators in high schools all over the country.
Speaker 27
00:27:18 Cellophane wrapped in the black nightmare.
Speaker 15
00:27:24 Of the endless factory.
Speaker 6
00:27:27 My soul.
Speaker 20
00:27:29 Squeezed in the.
Speaker 17
00:27:31 Hydraulic Press of eternal drip, drip, drip.
Devon
00:27:37 Isn't it interesting that that's the clip that they chose to now this, you know, all this, all this square stuff? We hated this, but this right here, this.
00:27:46 Is what we related to.
Speaker 28
00:27:48 We started a bunch of us putting out a poetry magazine and suddenly.
00:27:54 It was banned.
Devon
00:27:55 Ohh really?
00:27:58 Ah, that's that's too bad. I I suppose you're going to start talking about how banning speech is is not good. It's not a good thing. Right? I I suppose that's that's what you're going to say.
Speaker 28
00:28:11 Because of 1 little poem.
00:28:14 And so we had our first publication suppressed.
Speaker 3
00:28:18 I'm suppressed.
Devon
00:28:23 Interesting so.
00:28:25 So as a boomer, you would want to make sure that didn't happen again, right?
Speaker 28
00:28:29 And I the poem I still remember to this day was I'd like to kiss just left of center of the valley of her breasts. And then I try the other side or something.
Devon
00:28:43 You know, I I would.
00:28:44 Have banned that poem just for being ******.
Speaker 28
00:28:46 Banned the magazine and we went outrageous.
Speaker 8
00:28:51 The banning of quote, unacceptable ideas.
Speaker 3
00:28:53 Ohh, the banning of unacceptable ideas.
Devon
00:28:58 Here's The funny thing. What we're listening to right here, this is.
00:29:01 From the 1980s.
00:29:03 So in in the 1980s, the boomers were like, ohh no, you can't have censorship. That was, that was awful. That was terrible.
00:29:12 That was fascism.
00:29:15 And now they're the ones doing the.
Speaker 8
00:29:16 Censorship provoked certain politically aware students to begin questioning the values, the motives, and the judgment of school officials and others in authority.
Devon
00:29:27 Yeah. Others an authority in Silicon Valley.
Speaker 29
00:29:31 And then one day the principal came into the class and had us all pass up our copies of catcher in the Rye and told us to forget that we'd ever seen this book. We learned fairly quickly that the.
Devon
00:29:43 Well, it's it's again.
00:29:46 Banning books. My book is banned.
00:29:51 So I guess I guess you would.
00:29:52 Oppose that then, huh?
Speaker 29
00:29:54 The book had been banned by the school board. This turned out to be a real learning experience.
Devon
00:30:00 Well, no, I I don't even have to. I don't have to look him up and see where he is now to to see whether or not he would.
00:30:06 Agree or disagree with my book being banned?
Speaker 29
00:30:11 For all of us, because far we learned a lot more than we would have learned if we've just been allowed to read the book, because this way, of course, not only did we read the book, but everybody in the school suddenly wanted to read the book.
Devon
00:30:21 Yeah, it's called the Streisand effect, OK.
00:30:24 Anyway, so that's the end of that. He just goes on pleading with you to.
00:30:28 Not hate, boomers.
Speaker 3
00:30:31 So just so you know again.
Devon
00:30:34 When they analyze, when they self analyze, when they look back at what they were rebelling against, or why they behave the way that they did, never once do they figure in the demographic change like never once.
00:30:46 It's not out of everything. I watched today. Nothing even mentioned that as maybe possibly something that was changing in America that might account for all of these things that were changing like test scores and stuff like that. Not not even once. And then of course, they don't. Also, they also don't mention like the Springfield plan stuff that we were talking about the.
00:31:07 The the embrace of diversity that preceded the immigration law changes, and this idea that you're not supposed to respect your own culture. But all these exotic new cultures that were coming in so anyway.
00:31:25 That is the boomer apology. I guess the boomer excuse saying, look, we were just all we were doing is rebelling against all these awful, awful rules about how you have to dress and and behave around your family. And, you know, it was just, it was just terrible.
00:31:45 It was terrible, I tell you. And again, like I said, I I just think.
00:31:50 I just think that they they, I mean if they if they have the insight.
00:31:54 To really understand it, the 60s wouldn't.
00:31:56 Have happened, right?
00:31:58 So it I get it, you know and.
00:32:02 If we were raised with the same propaganda that they were raised with, we probably.
00:32:06 Would have ended up.
00:32:09 So moving right along.
00:32:12 What happened next? And we're not, we're not going to watch this whole thing because I found like a.
00:32:17 Bunch of videos and I and you.
00:32:19 Got to remember.
00:32:20 Like the.
00:32:23 Like even stuff like if this went on in the 80s and and it.
00:32:27 Kind of.
00:32:28 Went through to the 90s. Right were the 80s. There was lots and lots. I mean, you can find lots of these videos on YouTube, lots and lots of these news reports and documentaries about how terrible the test scores were now.
00:32:43 Like how everything was was plummeting, how everything was getting worse in the education system.
00:32:49 Them and they couldn't understand why.
00:32:53 And they, after you know, years and years and years of this, in fact, I think one of the reasons why you had the show like Beavis and Butthead became so popular as you could say that, like the the Gen. Xers and stuff were rebelling against being told they were. They were stupid all the time.
00:33:14 Like alright. And then just we'll lean into it if you know we're we're so bad at school and irresponsible, we'll lean into it because you know the the Gen. Xers were.
00:33:23 Nihilists they weren't.
00:33:24 Tables. So before we take a look at that video, I just have a real quick clip. I wanted to play because there was a lot of old videos I found of they were like year like video yearbooks from the 80s where they had some really cool footage and stuff. But you know, there wasn't really a lot of substance. But then I was watching one.
00:33:45 Of them.
00:33:47 And I saw something that really made me think.
00:33:51 Of when I was.
00:33:52 In school.
00:33:53 And I've talked about this in the past too, where when you're all your.
00:33:57 Teachers are boomers.
00:33:58 You hear about the ******* 60s all the time. All the time. Like everything somehow relates back to the 60s all the time. They never ******* shut up about it.
00:34:11 And all these movies were about the 60s and and if they if it was, I mean, look, if you wanted to get a movie to play it in in class.
00:34:19 Just suggest a movie that was about the 60s, you know, like there was so much, so much self indulgent.
00:34:30 When it came to these teachers talking about the 60s and they didn't, you know, they they didn't want to be the the system, you know, they they were building the system. So the last thing they wanted to do is actually become the system. So I found.
00:34:44 This clip.
00:34:46 And I just clipped out and it's real short, but like, it's just so typical of what you would hear that.
00:34:50 I thought.
00:34:50 It would be for those of you who are maybe.
00:34:53 A little bit.
00:34:53 Younger this is the kind of thing.
00:34:55 It it it was non-stop.
Speaker 20
00:35:00 There's a lot.
00:35:01 Going on in.
00:35:02 Both psychologically and physically, that needs some. Some expression needs some factor some.
Speaker
00:35:10 See that that.
Devon
00:35:10 That's a boomer teacher.
00:35:11 Right. And he's this is from 19.
00:35:16 I think it's from like.
00:35:17 83 or something like that.
Speaker 20
00:35:20 Physically, that needs some. Some expression needs some factor, some expression.
Speaker 23
00:35:27 I think I think what.
Speaker 20
00:35:30 One thing that happened in the 60s that was very interesting was that that expression was.
Devon
00:35:36 See, you know many sentences.
00:35:38 Would start with with with that phrase.
Speaker 20
00:35:40 Was that that expression was there. That was very interesting.
Devon
00:35:43 Hold on.
Speaker 20
00:35:45 One thing that happened.
00:35:46 In the 60s, that was very interesting.
Devon
00:35:48 Like that, that that would that would start off.
00:35:53 Pretty much every, every, every, every time a a boomer teacher would would talk about a new subject, they would always follow it with this or intro with this.
Speaker 23
00:36:04 I think I think what.
Speaker 20
00:36:07 One thing that.
00:36:08 Happened in the 60s. That was very interesting.
Devon
00:36:11 Over and over and over again.
Speaker 20
00:36:13 Was that that expression was.
00:36:15 It was almost like everybody went to.
00:36:16 The same things.
00:36:17 At the same time, so everybody.
00:36:18 Had the same things to express.
Devon
00:36:20 Oh oh. Or or maybe everyone was of the same demographic with the same background. You mean there was more social cohesion?
Speaker 3
00:36:29 See they they.
Devon
00:36:29 Never want it's funny because all of these problems they describe are easily explained by the by the diversity ****.
00:36:38 Well, not not just that, that, but that's like a big chunk of it, right?
00:36:42 And you can tell they're just baffled.
Speaker 3
00:36:44 They can't figure it out. They can't figure it out.
Speaker 20
00:36:47 Question was.
00:36:49 It was almost like everybody went to.
00:36:50 The same things at the same time.
Speaker 6
00:36:51 They did.
Speaker 20
00:36:52 So everybody had the same things to express.
00:36:55 Could actually destroy this building.
00:36:59 The medium of expression.
Speaker
00:37:01 Is different now than it was then.
Speaker 20
00:37:04 The protests are not as as clear.
00:37:07 And nor are they as organized.
00:37:09 Now as you see, protest.
Devon
00:37:13 See it.
00:37:13 Was just like.
00:37:15 Over and over and over again.
00:37:18 Calling back to the 60s, it was never ending. It was so frustrating.
00:37:24 Ah alright anyway.
00:37:27 That that's really.
00:37:27 It for that. I mean there's. I mean, there's cool footage in here like they.
00:37:32 Oh, look at the.
00:37:33 Cool shoes we have in the big 80s socks.
00:37:36 Oh, fancy 80s girls.
00:37:40 Skateboarding, but yeah, so I found like a lot of cool footage. Just nothing that was of substance from those videos. But when I heard that and that The funny thing is.
00:37:49 There's very little dialogue.
00:37:51 In that video and and just happens to be because it.
00:37:54 Happens so often.
00:37:55 It it had to include something like that.
00:37:58 All right, so.
00:38:00 Back to what we're talking about here, Gen. X.
00:38:04 So I'm going to play again. Just a quick intro of another video. It's it's much too long to watch. Ah, it's like it's like an hour long, but this, this is very this is like.
00:38:16 A very normal.
00:38:20 Kind of documentary that they would play often in the 80s and 90s and justice constantly complaining about like we can't understand it like test scores are going down and education's going to **** we.
00:38:32 Just don't get it.
00:38:38 Alright, this is the.
00:38:40 We'll play that.
Speaker 30
00:38:44 When I get out of school.
Speaker 19
00:38:45 I pledge allegiance to the flag.
Speaker 20
00:38:47 Of the United States of America.
00:38:49 And to the Republic, God to this will.
Speaker 21
00:38:51 One nation.
Speaker 31
00:38:56 Somerville High 90 year old school that sits on top of the hill overlooking a city of 80,000 people, Somerville high and not unlike most big.
00:39:05 Schools across this state. But here, as in most schools, the business of education is in.
00:39:11 Deep trouble in the next hour you will see what goes on at the high school. That is generally well regarded. Somerville is not the best Massachusetts has to offer, but it certainly is.
00:39:20 Not the worst.
00:39:21 Opening newspaper these days, you'll read of classrooms out of control, violence in the schoolyard. You will read that our schools are handing out diplomas to kids who are nearly illiterate.
00:39:31 And that for the first time in this nation's history, children are not educated as well as their parents will.
Speaker 21
00:39:37 I wonder why?
Devon
00:39:40 Not once. Not because I watched the whole thing. Not once, in this hour long video.
00:39:48 Does the changing demographics even get mentioned?
00:39:53 Not once.
00:39:57 Not even a little bit.
00:40:00 Nor by the way, because like I said, that's not the that's not the only reason.
00:40:06 Nor is that the parents of these children.
00:40:13 Our new generation.
00:40:15 Right. It's it's all somehow somehow we have to fix. Well, I mean, that's how leftists think, right? They think everything can be social engineered.
00:40:25 And so when they look at this problem, they think, well, what clearly it's the system that's failing.
00:40:31 The system is failing. We we can social engineer this problem away.
00:40:37 And because that's the only fix that a leftist ever has, right?
00:40:43 Then that's you can't find problems.
00:40:47 That go outside of that solution.
00:40:50 You know, for example, if you were to entertain like, well, maybe, maybe the changing demographics has something to do with it.
00:40:59 Well, I mean then.
00:41:01 You're changing the schools isn't really going.
Speaker 5
00:41:03 To fix that.
Devon
00:41:05 Plus, you're gonna have to admit that.
00:41:06 You ****** **.
00:41:11 And likewise, you can't. You obviously can't bring the parents into the picture.
00:41:17 Because now you know, God forbid, you're blaming the baby boomers for something.
00:41:24 Yeah, there there's this whole video, just it like for an hour long. They just can't figure it out. They can't figure out why people can't read anymore and everyone's stupid.
00:41:33 And like I don't get it.
00:41:36 So that would extend on to college.
00:41:41 Now this is the one we're actually going to watch.
00:41:44 And I actually, I haven't watched the whole thing. So some of this is going to be new for me too.
00:41:49 But this was a Nightline episode where they talk about kind of the the the difference is that they're seeing in new education or in this the new generation that's being educated now. The one thing that stuck out to me, the the part that I did watch.
00:42:10 And I've had people like I did a stream once where I talked about like I was like, hey, look, you know, me and my friends, we just got ******* hammered all the time. You know, we just got.
00:42:18 Really sucked up. That's what we were supposed to do. And there was a lot of zoomers in the comments saying stuff like.
Speaker 7
00:42:25 When that's what you're supposed to.
Devon
00:42:27 Do so you understand, like that's when your when your parents are boomers.
00:42:31 That's what you're supposed to do. They tell you that? And that's not what they have a problem with. So you're going to see this. You're going to see now. This is before my time because I think.
00:42:39 This is for this is college kids and like.
00:42:42 Like 80.
00:42:43 One or 82, you know? So this.
00:42:45 Is these are.
00:42:46 People older than me, but by the time you know, by the time I was that age.
00:42:52 It was, it was times a million, you know, it was. It was already. It was even worse.
00:42:57 Another thing to notice too is this is.
00:43:00 A school in the South.
00:43:02 And the demographics of this school haven't really changed. It's still a very white college.
00:43:11 They had recently started accepting women into the college and they say some interesting things about that.
00:43:18 So this is.
00:43:20 The Genex College special.
Speaker 32
00:43:23 Focus tonight college students in the 80s, their causes and their goals will look at what motivates them and what worries them, and we'll talk to them about ethics and morality in this special edition of Nightline coming to you.
Devon
00:43:37 You ever noticed that?
00:43:39 Ethics and morality aren't.
00:43:42 Talked about anywhere in the mainstream. I mean this is.
Speaker 3
00:43:46 This was the.
Devon
00:43:47 Main one of the most mainstream news shows, if not the most. I mean, it was Nightline.
00:43:54 And again, this is before the Internet. This is before. There's like a whole bunch of different avenues for people to get information. This is, you know, one of the four networks, they're they're big show. And according to this 1981.
00:44:09 And you would never hear a discussion of of morality or ethics.
00:44:15 On a CNN report.
00:44:18 Why? Because it's all.
Speaker 3
00:44:19 Subjective now, right?
Speaker 32
00:44:21 Five from the campus of southern Connecticut State College in.
Devon
00:44:24 Nah, I guess it's southern Connecticut. I thought I was.
00:44:27 In the South for some reason.
Speaker 32
00:44:28 New Haven we'll also be looking at life on campus at the University of Virginia, but our guest?
Devon
00:44:33 Or maybe that's maybe that's the one I was the part I was watching.
Speaker 32
00:44:37 Tonight are all students and faculty from Southern Connecticut State.
Speaker 16
00:44:47 Is ABC News Nightline tonight reporting live from New Haven, CT Ted Koppel?
Speaker 32
00:44:55 Good evening. College students have almost always been something of a mystery to the rest of the human race. In theory, at least, college marks the last way station on the evolutionary Rd. From childhood to maturity. But that final burst of adolescence can last a long.
Devon
00:45:10 Look how ******* white that audience is.
Speaker 32
00:45:13 Long time and takes many different forms.
00:45:15 No single student or college is typical of all the rest, but just as during the 1960s, colleges were swept by anti war, sentiment by sittings and marches and other demons.
Devon
00:45:26 See they, they, they.
00:45:28 They can't help themselves, even even Ted Koppel's doing it.
Speaker 21
00:45:32 Just like the.
Devon
00:45:33 60s it's shut up about the ******* 60s already.
Speaker 32
00:45:36 Relations. So too, during the 1950s, political apathy was a phrase frequently used to describe campuses across.
00:45:44 But what, if anything, marks the mood of this college generation? We will have no definitive answers, but we certainly can expect tonight to get a flavor. First up the University of Virginia.
00:46:00 You you do?
Speaker 33
00:46:01 Have a reputation and a notorious reputation for just drinking all the time, which we.
00:46:07 Do, but we studied.
Devon
00:46:09 Like, either make sure you get footage of the black kid, the one black kid in the crowd.
00:46:16 But no, this is what I'm talking about here. Where this, this right here, this this kind of drinking in college? That's that.
00:46:23 It was, that was, I mean, if anything, it was normalized through propaganda and just, I mean just generally speaking that no one gave a **** if this is how you behave like they expected it. Not even cops.
00:46:35 And we were pulled over and again, this was much. This wasn't like, and this would have.
00:46:39 Been like.
00:46:41 Me and my friend got pulled over once in the late 90s.
00:46:44 Drunk it like like, drunk as.
00:46:46 Hell and the cop was just like, well, how much further you gotta go?
00:46:51 And and just followed us to make sure.
00:46:53 That's where we went and like that was it.
00:46:56 It it, it was totally different, totally different attitudes.
Speaker 33
00:47:00 Very hard and I think that the people here.
00:47:03 Who parted that?
00:47:03 Hard 9 times out of 10 really deserve that opportunity to to just Kick It Out and you know, let it go for a week on Easter week or on on.
00:47:11 Openings weekend to.
00:47:12 Any one of the big weekends while the fraternities are are going first and head.
Devon
00:47:16 Again, look at the demographics of that crowd.
Speaker 33
00:47:20 With the bands and keg parties, and you can just run around and lead the world, and then it's it's as crowded as any as as it will be tomorrow night and and.
00:47:28 How's it all for that? Happy are.
Speaker 19
00:47:35 If you will excuse.
Speaker 34
00:47:36 To have a really big party, everybody go.
Speaker 19
00:47:41 On and on any.
Speaker 34
00:47:43 Like whether it's like a Monday or a Friday, we don't find people out drinking done so.
00:47:55 From the outside, the school has an excellent reputation, so if you graduate your chances of getting a decent job are really pretty good, because that's that's one good.
Speaker 30
00:48:03 Thing about this goal.
Speaker 34
00:48:06 That's where the best, especially if you're going in the east school or the comp school or when the graduate schools, if you graduate from Virginia, you've got a job.
Devon
00:48:14 Ah, well, that that kind of changed, right?
00:48:18 I I wonder, I wonder if that change has anything to do with the the.
00:48:24 The curriculum that was changed to.
00:48:28 Accommodate some of these new students. These new demographics. Oh, they're not performing well. OK, let's make a class about **** ***.
Speaker 21
00:48:38 So we need to volunteer. I'd like a.
00:48:40 Young lady with green eyes and.
00:48:42 Will you have a seat right here?
00:48:44 I do.
Speaker 35
00:48:44 Not believe that it has a reputation for doing a good job in education and for turning out graduates who not only are well educated, but have a deep regard for integrity and a real desire to excel. And I think it really grows from the fact.
Speaker 7
00:48:46 Another Democrat.
Speaker 9
00:48:54 No, I think it's pretty good. Now, if you will look.
Speaker 35
00:49:00 But students here have always been given a much greater degree of freedom.
00:49:05 And responsibility that goes along with it to conduct their affairs. They are generally operated under fuel. Institutionally imposed restrictions, regulations.
Devon
00:49:17 See that it was this hatred, this hatred of standards and and rules.
Speaker 35
00:49:23 The the historic example here is the.
00:49:26 Process which has the groups in the mid 1800s and it's one of the few honest systems that's still function.
00:49:34 And I think one of the reasons.
00:49:35 That it.
00:49:35 Survived and that it still force is here? Is that the final authority with regard to students suspected of lying, cheating and stealing is vested in the student body.
Speaker 34
00:49:46 Once the student arrives at the university, he is totally trusted to take care of his own behavior, to be honorable, and no one else.
Speaker 27
00:49:54 He's going to tell him.
Speaker 34
00:49:56 What he should and shouldn't do.
Devon
00:49:58 That that went right out the window.
Speaker 34
00:50:00 It's up to him to live up to this community standard. I believe that the moral fiber.
00:50:06 Of the student body here is very high.
Devon
00:50:09 See again talking about moral fiber.
00:50:12 Like, Can you imagine interviewing a member of the student body at a school? Possibly this school and hearing, anything like that?
Speaker 21
00:50:23 Kind of what? Anything. Looks like an injustice to them. They take very seriously and take serious measures to correct we.
Speaker 33
00:50:31 Have a strong tradition of excellence and.
Speaker 3
00:50:34 Andy Cohen.
Speaker 33
00:50:36 You we strive for excellence in everything we do in football team hasn't been.
00:50:42 Doing so well.
Speaker 27
00:50:57 No, not a cancel this.
Devon
00:51:04 See, everyone's just getting hammered like every event.
00:51:08 Was just an excuse to get hammered.
Speaker 32
00:51:16 Final score Carolina 17, Virginia 14.
Speaker 16
00:51:23 Of course.
Speaker 36
00:51:24 The biggest changes and come since the university has become Coed before women were here it was. It was a a gentleman's school and anyone would have told you that in fact the the honor pledges to be on my honor as a gentleman and I think.
Devon
00:51:39 But it can't have that can't have male spaces anymore.
Speaker 36
00:51:42 That the traditions some of the some of the idea.
00:51:45 And values that went along with the tradition of southern gentlemen have had to been to be sacrificed a little bit.
Devon
00:51:54 Yeah, had to had to be sacrificed at the altar of.
Speaker 33
00:52:00 And I think it's for the better with the university, with girls here, more men stick around, everybody sticks around more because there are the the women here. Academically, the women approving themselves as a matter of.
00:52:12 As far as any any quantitative measures, I think from everything I've heard they come.
00:52:16 Out ahead of them, I like the.
Devon
00:52:17 Yeah, you can say that again, get.
00:52:19 Used to that.
Speaker 13
00:52:20 Some of us are good and I heard a lot of.
Speaker 34
00:52:22 Bad things.
Speaker 13
00:52:23 About it, but not from the true.
Speaker 34
00:52:25 That I found was kind of simulation of real life. You know, you live with other people, you know, go with is the way to.
Speaker 37
00:52:32 Go it bother me first, you know.
00:52:34 To think that.
Speaker 32
00:52:34 The girl's going to be out of there.
Speaker 33
00:52:36 It might be a distraction, but it's really.
Speaker 23
00:52:38 Not we make our.
Speaker 27
00:52:39 Own rules and it's up to the suite that they want. Our suite has 24 hour visitation.
Speaker 13
00:52:46 And if your roommate has her boyfriend up for the weekend, then you could always sleep.
Speaker 32
00:52:49 In the living room, just have to go.
Speaker 30
00:52:54 Down the hall and.
Speaker 32
00:52:56 The door so I can't sleep every night then.
Speaker 38
00:52:57 Sure. Of course you get a little.
00:52:59 Frustrated, I mean.
00:53:00 I guess that's only natural, but there's so much to do here that you can always find, find something and go to the library. There's always lots of homework you can catch up on, or he can just go talk to a.
00:53:11 Friend, there's there's plenty to do to come.
Speaker
00:53:18 And I've seen rain.
Speaker 39
00:53:20 I think there's a different kind of partying that goes on here.
00:53:24 At Virginia, it's more of a A.
00:53:25 Moral party than you would find.
00:53:27 On most of the college campuses.
Speaker 3
00:53:29 It's a, it's.
Devon
00:53:30 A moral kind of partying.
Speaker 14
00:53:33 See the.
Devon
00:53:35 It's it's this is. This was the beginning of the of the party culture that really accelerated into the 90s.
Speaker 39
00:53:41 Here your party to get to know people you party to, to make friends and to develop those in-depth relationships.
Speaker 40
00:53:55 Well, the most serious drug problem, of course, is alcohol abuse. That's probably true of most universities, but drugs as we normally speak of them now want to use is probably the the same that you find in most major institutions. It's pretty widespread, but other hard drugs.
00:54:12 We see very little of.
Speaker 19
00:54:13 That here you can find them if you want.
Speaker 15
00:54:15 Them and if you are the kind of person who's not interested.
Speaker 8
00:54:19 Nobody tries to force them down your throat.
Speaker
00:54:21 OK, I'd like.
00:54:22 To call the meeting.
Speaker 20
00:54:22 To order OK.
Speaker 13
00:54:23 In the 80s.
00:54:24 We're a lot.
00:54:25 More educated and aware of things, and we take a much more mature.
Speaker 20
00:54:27 Being on snorting.
Speaker 13
00:54:29 Numbers because so.
00:54:31 Outlook about things and I don't think it's it's all totally carefree. Do whatever you want.
Speaker 21
00:54:33 She's not in that.
Devon
00:54:40 Not yet.
Speaker 13
00:54:41 I think people still retain their traditions and their upbringing.
Speaker 34
00:54:47 Study hard and study hard.
00:54:52 You're supposed to get good grades, but you're not supposed to let that keep you from having a good time, and you better have.
00:54:58 A good time.
Devon
00:54:59 You better have a good time.
00:55:03 This is all.
00:55:03 This is all being framed as a positive.
Speaker 24
00:55:10 We're certainly not ashamed of the party image. I think that it's helping. That's socializing partner.
Devon
00:55:18 See, it's it's healthy and good to just get annihilated all the time.
00:55:23 Alcoholism is just it. That's you have to be an alcoholic during college. You have to. I mean, you're what? What did she say? You're.
00:55:30 You're a geek, you.
00:55:31 Want to be a geek?
Speaker 24
00:55:33 Growing up, it's an important part of your college life. I have no plans with the party image so long with people do see and the other things.
00:55:40 That we're about.
Speaker 32
00:55:52 That was an attempt to get a feeling for students in the 1980s and what they were about. Just one campus, just an attempt. When we return, we're trying to learn more as we talk live with students in our audience here at Southern Connecticut State College in New Haven.
00:56:11 Of goals, what do you?
00:56:13 Expect out of college. What do you think, college?
00:56:15 Want to do for you?
Speaker 27
00:56:19 I think the college is a very important part of my life and I'm doing.
00:56:23 This on my own I.
00:56:24 Haven't taken any financial support from my parents at all, and I think because of that I appreciate it a lot more and I'm hoping that college will help me get a better job than I would otherwise.
Speaker 32
00:56:35 Alright, let me ask you.
Devon
00:56:36 Yes, get the Student Loans.
Speaker 32
00:56:38 When I realize this is going to be kind of a difficult thing for us to do, it's a very informal kind of.
00:56:43 How many of you are in college for what could be called an academic experience for an education, and how many wait until I finish the question? How many of you are here because you think, as this young lady does, a little help you get a better job, academic experience.
00:57:00 And how about the job?
00:57:04 All right, so.
00:57:04 It's a little of both, with many of you.
Devon
00:57:06 How about crippling debt? Can we see hands up for crippling debt?
Speaker 32
00:57:11 Let's talk about the academic experience. Who wants to? Who wants to respond on the subject of academic experience? This gentleman, right?
00:57:16 Here in the brown sweater.
Speaker 18
00:57:18 I feel that our well-rounded education is definitely a beneficial anyone wants to go on in a future career and without that learning experience and the well-rounded education to get into college, you're really not capable of fulfilling your goals. And personally you know to go on and on.
Devon
00:57:34 By the way, like if you think about this is 1981 in a way, this is this guy right here is maybe even like a young boomer, right?
00:57:46 Because if this is 1981, and if he's 21, you know he was he was born in the 60s.
00:57:53 Right. So this like this is I guess like one of the last crops of boomers. And so when you hear boomers talk about like, oh, you need to go to college so you can get.
00:58:03 A good job and.
00:58:04 I'll just that's because in 1981.
00:58:08 That was that was real. That was still a thing.
Speaker 18
00:58:12 Education. I feel that the college level is where you have to start.
Speaker 32
00:58:15 From OK, I made the comment when we began that if there was something that marked the the comment generation of the 1960s, it was kind of a.
Devon
00:58:24 The ******* 60s again.
Speaker 32
00:58:26 Political involvement, political awareness, and I realized at that time we had the Vietnam War to.
00:58:30 And with is there an issue today that really concerns many of you and that you think concerns many other college students around the country? Alright, let's go to the gentleman here in the checkered shirt.
Speaker 18
00:58:43 I think the problem with nuclear.
Speaker 23
00:58:45 War frightens a lot of college people. Whether what are we heading for? As far as that's concerned?
00:58:50 Clear issues.
Devon
00:58:51 See and that's that. That's that duck and cover. You know, their version of put on the mask was duck and cover.
00:58:58 They had this constant threat of total annihilation.
00:59:04 And and what's worse is, is that you know you.
00:59:06 Had no control over it.
00:59:07 Right, like you.
00:59:08 Didn't what you did is like this guy. What he did day-to-day would have zero impact on whether or not he got vaporized.
Speaker 3
00:59:14 Right. So you just have.
Devon
00:59:16 This constant threat looming all the time.
00:59:20 And in a way, it's kind of like, you know, for the believers, it's like that for COVID, right? Ohh for through nothing I do on my own if I just walk out, I could I could get I could.
00:59:29 The bid.
Speaker 32
00:59:30 What? What is it particularly, I mean beyond the kind of abstract notion that someday the world may go to war and we all may be wiped out? What?
00:59:38 Particularly bothers you.
Devon
00:59:40 Yeah, aside from the fact that we might all get annihilated. What? What? What? What bothers you about this?
Speaker 23
00:59:46 Well, are we building for tomorrow by the use of bombs or are we trying to reinstate social programs?
00:59:54 I don't think we're giving enough money to social programs and we're giving more to defense.
00:59:57 Spending. All right, let's follow that up.
Devon
00:59:59 That's that's like the basic ***** boomer college kid answer.
Speaker 32
01:00:03 And I'd like to hear from someone here about how you feel college students ought to become involved in that, if indeed it's something you think you will become involved in. Is it just something again that you consider in abstract terms, or is it something you feel needs organization? Is this the kind of thing that leaves college campuses or students of the 1980s to action?
01:00:23 The gentleman up there in the in the Brown.
Speaker 18
01:00:26 Jacket. If we look at the events in Europe and we see the people protesting against the bomb.
01:00:32 I feel that in the United States, we too should follow that example. This is not to say that we should support, say, the Soviet view that.
Speaker 11
01:00:41 Banning the bomb is going.
Speaker 18
01:00:42 To help their cause, but we have to realize that Soviet Union and United States have to limit the bombs because the chances are there.
01:00:52 History. I'm a history major, and history has taught us so many times.
01:00:58 What happens when?
01:00:58 You have proliferation of arms. They're going to be used.
01:01:03 Man must learn to love each other.
Devon
01:01:06 As I said, these kids are boomers still.
Speaker 14
01:01:12 These things are important.
Speaker 18
01:01:14 But what's happening?
01:01:16 Our values are destroyed. We must learn.
01:01:18 To love each other.
Speaker 32
01:01:20 Well, let me let me just ask the rest of you because some of you I think are a little bit embarrassed because the young man who's kind of emotional on this subject, do you feel emotional about that subject? Is that something that turns you on or is it the kind of thing that other people?
01:01:32 Can do this gentleman over here in the white sweater.
Speaker 18
01:01:37 I personally feel that's something that we can't really that that shouldn't be our priority right now when we're faced every day with Reaganomics, which is 80% of the school is on some sort of financial aid of one form or another, which is being cut back through the educational allotments. And I think that's something that we can.
01:01:56 Focus in on or we should focus on something that we can do something about here and now while we're at college.
Speaker 14
01:02:03 What about? What about the world we're talking about?
Speaker 32
01:02:05 The world, not just the United States.
Speaker 20
01:02:06 I said well, man.
Speaker 32
01:02:08 Go ahead. We don't we we don't want to let this to generate in the.
01:02:11 Polemics, but go.
Speaker 18
01:02:12 Ahead and respond well, I just, I think that there's we really can't take. I mean we can't take the world into our hands in college is something that we just can't really do anything about. Right now. You have to focus students our first priority right now.
01:02:27 Suited to the voice of the nation.
Speaker 35
01:02:27 To get through college.
Speaker 32
01:02:30 Alright, let's take that as a as a byword, and if you forgive me, then you've had three opportunities. Now let's give someone else a chance to talk. How many of you think that you are, in fact the conscience of the nation? The gentleman on?
01:02:41 The black jacket.
Speaker 41
01:02:45 No, I don't think we are the voice of the nation.
01:02:49 We have our opportunity to go to college, but yet when we're it is supported by parents or financially supported by the government we.
01:02:58 We really don't have the right to say that we are the voice of the government when we're being supported by the government, the federal government, the.
01:03:05 State government or parents?
01:03:08 I don't think our main priority.
Devon
01:03:10 See now this is where you're you're kind of saying I feel a a taste of that nihilism that starts to.
01:03:16 Creep up in Gen. X.
01:03:19 That, that we we don't really have any control like any control over anything. We're just kind of here existing living off of the money of wealthy boomer parents or, you know, state assistants because you have all these social programs that kind of exploded into the 60s.
01:03:38 And it just really kind of had, like, these people that were without a cause, like there, if you notice, like that guy that was complaining about the bomb had, you know, there was no focus. He was just like Bombay.
01:03:51 And the other guy was just kind of like the same sort of thing like I guess he was a little more focused with his talking about, you know, financial aid or something like that, but.
01:04:01 You know, careful what you wish for on that one, but yeah, I just. I feel like, you know, the 80s didn't have like A cause.
01:04:10 Alright, so we're going to.
01:04:10 Skip through a lot of this stuff because.
01:04:12 I think this is going to just be.
01:04:14 I don't know this. There's some what looks a little more. Let's see what? Let's just see what this.
01:04:18 Next guy. So far these guys are not impressive.
Speaker 32
01:04:21 This gentleman down here right behind you. If you just come down the aisle, wait until the name of.
01:04:25 The microphone gets to.
Speaker 17
01:04:26 You go ahead.
Speaker 37
01:04:28 Yes. So I like, I think it, I'm here for good education, but also as supposed to live as in a community and and acknowledge other people's feelings as well as your own. That means.
01:04:41 To know that other people have different goals and priorities.
Devon
01:04:44 I feel like these guys feel.
01:04:45 Like they're taking a test like.
01:04:48 Like they've been.
01:04:48 Called to the front of the classroom, and they're just.
01:04:50 Giving out these answers that no one can get mad at, let me see what this chick says.
Speaker 32
01:04:54 The problem is the only want here. I don't know if that's the question you wanted to.
01:04:57 Answer, But it's the 1:00 you got.
Speaker 19
01:04:58 Well, I was going to comment on social issues now in the 80s. I think what we are experiencing now in college is the pressure to be able to cope with all the things that are happening. There is an increase in technology and we're constantly being poked at and drained by all different things. And I think there's been a.
Devon
01:05:19 You haven't seen anything yet, *****.
Speaker 19
01:05:21 There's been a decrease in a family structure as a support system and that increases. There's a free of sex, there's there's freer sex because people are are going toward, they're trying to find some kind of support.
Speaker 32
01:05:38 All right. When we come back and we're going to come back in just a moment, we'll talk about that. We'll talk about morality and we'll talk about ethics.
Devon
01:05:45 All right, let's get to the morality and ethics.
Speaker 32
01:05:48 New Haven, the subject of the moment. Sex, drugs, drinking. How much of it goes on? To what degree do you think we're not talking about you personally? To what degree do you think your parents would be shocked?
01:05:57 If they knew.
Speaker 11
01:06:00 All right, what struck me about the?
01:06:02 University of Virginia.
Speaker 6
01:06:03 Piece was.
Speaker 11
01:06:05 It's a much larger school in southern here, and the person talked about like the 24 hour sign in sign out thing in the dorms. I live in a dorm here and we don't have that kind of free.
01:06:16 At a large campus like that, you're you're a number. You're a Social Security number, but on a smaller campus here, your name. And although you have your own opportunities, you can do whatever you want. You still have that small that Virginia.
Speaker 18
01:06:32 Well, I feel in relation to sex, I feel that it's starting at a much younger age and I feel the parents are too afraid to tell their children about sex, you know, different methods.
Speaker 32
01:06:42 Again, me, let's not get into a general discussion of it. Let's see if we can just address the the specific question. Do you think parents would be shocked if they knew how much sex went on at the college level?
Speaker 18
01:06:51 Not so much shocked, just.
01:06:54 Curious. So my feelings are hurt.
Speaker 32
01:06:58 All right. Let's thank the gentleman right behind you.
Speaker 33
01:07:00 And what your experiences are, but I would say.
Devon
01:07:02 Nice. They're all terrible.
Speaker 38
01:07:02 In general, the party extensively.
Speaker 32
01:07:06 All right, just move up the line.
01:07:07 To the gentleman a little bit.
Devon
01:07:07 Alright anyway so.
01:07:10 Yeah, that is the the beginnings, the very beginnings.
01:07:16 Of Gen. X.
01:07:18 And like I said, I've got tons more videos to go through.
01:07:22 That we'll probably save another time. All right, let me. Let me take a look at chat.
01:07:26 Yeah, Tom selleck.
01:07:28 Yeah, a lot of lot of mustaches, a lot of mustaches.
01:07:30 In the 80s.
01:07:33 Lot of mustaches in the 80s.
01:07:37 I also found what is this here?
01:07:41 If you want to see some.
01:07:43 Here's a little montage of the 80s.
01:07:48 Alright, so yeah. Vapid. Yeah, a lot of these.
01:07:50 People, when you compare them with the the 1950s students that we had with like the girl from South Africa. Honestly though, I mean the American girl, she would fit right in.
01:08:04 You know the American girl had about as much to say as a lot of these college kids that were being.
01:08:10 You know that.
01:08:11 That notice how none of them had anything of substance to say. It was just a bunch of platitudes, and I think that's what happens when your education revolves around platitudes.
01:08:23 Let's take a look here.
01:08:25 Yeah, now we have campus only. Only fans advise meetings. Well, you know, but that's that's what happens when you change your demographic and they can't succeed like, you know, just I posted this on Telegram today. Let me see here.
01:08:40 Let me bring this up.
01:08:42 No, this isn't even shocking. This is just this is exactly what you get.
Speaker 5
01:08:49 Bring this up.
Devon
01:08:55 Image image.
01:09:02 Yeah, you want to know what happened to college? I mean, it's still happening. It hasn't stopped. This is right here. Arizona State Dean grading, writing based on quality is racist.
01:09:18 At an Arizona State University, associate Dean penned a 358 page book.
01:09:27 Ironies, you know, anyway, detailing how grading students writing is a form of racism and white supremacy, and a book titled Labor based Grading contracts, building equity and inclusion in the Compassionate writing classroom.
01:09:46 Professor ASO all whatever the ****. Yeah, that that looks like.
01:09:51 A good American.
01:09:52 Name encourages teachers to ditch grading for a labor based grading system where and students earn grades based on their effort.
01:10:03 The quality of a student's writing would not help or hinder their course grade.
Speaker 20
01:10:08 This is where.
Devon
01:10:09 It's all going to head to. It's all going to be E for effort.
01:10:14 If you try, you pass.
01:10:20 They can't have.
01:10:22 See part of the departure of objective morality.
01:10:26 Is you can't have any objective standards whatsoever. Why? Because that implies there's some kind of objective morality.
01:10:35 But at the same time, it's also you're going to have, look, you're going to have patterns that people don't want recognized.
01:10:43 If you have objective standards.
01:10:45 You're going to have certain groups that aren't able to meet those standards consistently. It's going to be a pattern that happens over.
01:10:51 And over again.
01:10:54 And and and because that has been a pattern that's been occurring over and over again for several decades and they've tried to, you know, explain it away this way and explain it away this way, implement this policy change things that way. This is in a way that what this guy saying here, this is basically saying.
01:11:14 **** it, let's throw in the towel. None of our social engineering has worked. None of our weird educational things that we wanted, expensive education things. And by expensive, I mean at the expense of white students often.
01:11:30 Let's let's just let's just say **** it. And as long as you try.
01:11:36 Then you get an A plus.
01:11:40 In that way, I mean think of what that accomplishes. First of all, you're able to keep all these students in the school. No one's going to flunk.
01:11:48 Out of your school?
01:11:50 I mean any anyone that tries is going to get an A+, right?
01:11:55 And because because that's so, so subjective. You know how, how hard did you try? How you know that's going to be.
01:12:02 Left up to the teacher.
01:12:05 And we all know who.
01:12:06 These teachers are right.
01:12:09 Now think about how this can work.
01:12:10 In the negative.
01:12:13 What if you're a student?
01:12:15 Who wrote a paper that was really, really good?
01:12:18 But it only took you.
01:12:19 20 minutes or something like that.
01:12:23 Well, the teacher will.
01:12:23 Say you did not put in.
01:12:26 The same effort that Jamal over here did.
01:12:31 Jamal spent.
01:12:33 Three days on his paper.
01:12:37 And so he gets an A+. But you spent 20 minutes on your paper.
01:12:42 So I'm going to.
01:12:43 Have to give you a D.
01:12:47 It makes it all meaningless.
01:12:49 And if you think that this kind of thinking is going to stop at the college campus level, you're you're insane.
01:12:55 Because what happens when these people that live in this environment? You know? Because look, as we've seen on this, you know, in this that last video, colleges are like little communities.
01:13:06 And this is what happens.
01:13:07 This is how it filters out, right?
01:13:10 These college kids then leave the campus.
01:13:13 And then go wind up in positions of power.
01:13:17 And then implement some of this same ********.
01:13:21 Wherever they have the ability to do that.
01:13:24 This, this, this is this will dramatically speed up the circling of the drain.
01:13:32 Because if you don't have any objective standards for what's good and what's bad, now look, right now they're just talking about writing.
01:13:42 But why? Why wouldn't this apply to math down the road?
01:13:49 You know, like, well, he tried really hard. He he studied for that test for eight hours.
01:13:55 He just didn't get a single answer right because he doesn't understand trigonometry.
01:14:01 And so but we're.
01:14:02 Going to give him an A.
01:14:06 So you know, you graduate with a.
01:14:09 A 4.0.
01:14:11 In I don't know whatever scientific field.
01:14:15 Because you tried really hard.
01:14:19 And now you're the scientist.
01:14:27 And look there. Like I said, this won't just stop. It won't just stop at the college level.
01:14:31 Because of that reason.
01:14:33 But you're going to have the same kind of thing happen in in HR departments.
01:14:40 HR departments will say, well, I know that you sold more units or you produced more units or whatever, right?
01:14:50 But we're going to give a bonus to Juan.
01:14:55 He tried to sell more units. He tried really hard.
01:15:02 So he gets the bonus.
01:15:09 And that that'll be. See The thing is.
01:15:13 When you talk about stuff like this, it's easier to just say ohh that you're just being ridiculous. Slippery slope is is a fallacy. Look, if you've learned anything over the last few streams, I think it's pretty obvious that slippery slope is not a a fallacy.
01:15:27 At this point, right?
01:15:30 I mean, if if you've learned anything.
01:15:38 And once you know, once that inertia gets going, once you start slipping the slide and it gets harder and harder to.
01:15:43 Slow yourself down.
01:15:47 And at a certain point you hit terminal velocity.
01:15:49 And that's it.
01:15:54 I'm going to take a look at Chad here.
01:15:58 Math is gender fluid now.
01:16:02 Oh yeah, I remember something about that going around on Twitter where they were saying 2 + 2 = 5.
01:16:10 And they're they're insane semantic reasoning for that.
01:16:18 I'm an HR. You bet I have in Group preference.
01:16:23 Well, we need more people.
01:16:25 Within group preference in HR it just is not a very.
01:16:31 It's usually dominated by, in my experience, white liberal women.
01:16:38 Well, white it was. And then slowly it.
01:16:41 Got more difficult?
01:16:44 We're watching Idiocracy unfold, step by step, right before our eyes.
01:16:48 You have no idea. You have no idea.
01:16:51 Because it gets worse. We're just going to save those like I wanted to segue us into Gen. X, and I feel like this is a good segue.
01:17:00 Into Gen. X.
01:17:04 But I mean just in the background, I don't know if you guys have noticed that I thought, I mean just it was one of those things where there wasn't really any substance to it, but it was interesting visuals. Let me hide.
01:17:14 The video players for a second.
01:17:17 This is.
01:17:19 Either very early 90s or very late 80s, but I think early 90s.
01:17:24 It's, you know, teens living at their first house, like everyone had had a house like this.
01:17:31 When I was, when I when I was a younger guy in the 90s, right where the kids cause back then people actually moved out of.
01:17:39 The house.
01:17:40 You know, there'd be a house with a bunch of 18 year old and 19 year olds living there and you know the same thing. It was just a party atmosphere 24 hours a day and that was.
01:17:49 Like the party house and everyone.
01:17:51 Would go there.
01:17:52 And this is footage of someone that someone got. Like I said, I.
01:17:56 Don't know if.
01:17:56 It it's like.
01:17:58 Around 1990, you know, give or take a.
01:18:01 Few years Aparty house.
01:18:04 And they're all just getting ******* high and drinking.
01:18:07 And this was just again, this was like, this isn't like a degenerate house for that era. This was like the norm.
01:18:19 So that's what's playing in the background there.
01:18:25 Take a look at chat here.
01:18:34 You guys are all trying to guess my age. You're in the right ballpark. You're in the right ballpark.
01:18:42 I was. I was on the cusp, you might say.
01:18:46 Of the generations.
01:18:52 Gen. X was strange because we had so much warrior fighting brainwashing from the media.
01:18:59 And movies to prep us for 30 years of war for chosen for chosen or prison.
01:19:06 Uh, that's an interesting take. There was a lot of, like, Rambo style movies in the 80s.
01:19:13 There was absolutely a lot of war movies in the in the 80s.
01:19:22 I wonder, I wonder.
01:19:23 If there is something to then.
01:19:30 Any man that would have sex with a man would have.
01:19:32 Sex with an animal.
01:19:34 And I think there's some logic to that.
01:19:40 Blood sports Rambo.
01:19:44 Yeah, there's there's, like, a whole genre of 80s.
01:19:48 Movies, you know something else that came to mind while I was watching these clips and watching these movies.
01:19:55 Was and that's kind of why I played that song at the beginning of.
01:19:58 The stream the IT was the theme song to The Breakfast Club.
01:20:06 And there's a scene in The Breakfast Club and I'm.
01:20:09 Just going to find.
01:20:09 It for you guys real quick.
01:20:12 Where they, I mean I don't.
01:20:15 Know most people have probably seen The Breakfast Club, right?
01:20:19 If you haven't, it's this. All right? It's this 80s movie where you have a bunch of white kids that get the tension and they don't know each other, and they're all from different socioeconomic statuses and you know, different clicks and whatever. And, you know, they it's it's, it just shows them interacting.
01:20:40 During the tension on a Saturday, right?
01:20:43 And you know, you have, like, the she's like the prissy girl. He's like the jock.
01:20:50 You know, he's like the the rebel.
01:20:53 But then this guy. So this is the boomer teacher.
01:20:58 This is the boomer teacher.
01:21:01 And when I was watching this because I was going to, I was going to do a video and I still might. I I wrote like a.
01:21:07 Script for it, I just wasn't.
01:21:10 Wasn't super happy with it, but maybe now, now that we've dug into this stuff a little more, it might be appropriate, but.
01:21:19 There's a scene where he is talking to the boomer janitor.
01:21:24 And he's talking about the generational difference.
01:21:28 And how you know the the you know doing?
01:21:30 The whole kids.
01:21:31 These days, you know that kind of a thing, right?
01:21:35 And if you notice, there's something about 80s high school movies you'll see again, and it doesn't matter if it's, you know, The Breakfast Club. It's, it's this guy, right?
01:21:44 But there's an identical character.
01:21:50 In every single 80s movie about high school.
01:21:54 Now I'm just going to.
01:21:54 Bring up the one that came to mind.
01:21:57 This is back to the future.
01:22:00 But this guy?
01:22:04 It's it's the mean, angry boomer principle.
01:22:11 Like this guy exists in every 80s high school movie.
01:22:17 And that's because every 80s high school movie was written, you know, by boomers. Yeah, it goes back to that whole fight. The authority fight, the power, that sort of a thing. But also, I mean, look, they wouldn't put it in there if if people couldn't relate to it.
01:22:33 Because for every hippie teacher.
01:22:36 That you had in the 80s and 90s, that would sit there and couldn't shut up about the 60s every five seconds, right? You did have these extra angry authoritarians.
01:22:52 And I remember thinking like, again, that was a it was another schizophrenic.
01:22:59 Viewpoint being transmitted to us, you know, half our teachers were saying to go around and and do a bunch of drugs and and have sex and who cares.
01:23:11 And this is.
01:23:11 The this is the time to do that. Now is the time to express yourself and all that fun stuff.
01:23:18 And then you had, like the the authoritarian side of the boomers.
01:23:23 You know, telling you that that you know, you had to do it, that you know don't do as I do.
01:23:28 Do as I say.
01:23:32 And in The Breakfast Club.
01:23:35 There's a scene where they.
01:23:38 He kind of talks about this and so I just want to. I'm pretty sure I can hunt it down.
Speaker 5
01:23:46 Let's see here.
Devon
01:23:50 By the way, this is a.
01:23:51 Decent movie, even if you can't, because again I.
01:23:56 You know, this is I was not in high school in the 80s, so it's not as relatable for me.
01:23:59 But it's still a good movie.
01:24:03 I would say it it aged well.
01:24:11 I don't think this is it. Alright, maybe.
Speaker 8
01:24:13 I missed it.
Devon
01:24:24 Here, here we go.
Speaker 18
01:24:29 Confidential files.
Speaker
01:24:33 Or no.
Speaker 15
01:24:34 You can go to Israel, Africa.
Speaker 30
01:24:36 And that's not.
Devon
01:24:36 It interesting that she said Israel first, right?
Speaker 24
01:24:39 Here it is.
Devon
01:24:44 The scrub bar on this player is like makes it real hard to really get to where you're trying to go.
01:24:50 Come on.
Speaker 9
01:24:51 There we go. That's the scene. That's the scene.
Devon
01:24:56 I might have to just sit through a second or two of this, but no, he's just talking.
01:25:00 To the janitor.
01:25:02 About kids these days.
Speaker 36
01:25:05 What did you?
Speaker 5
01:25:06 Want to be when you were young?
Speaker 21
01:25:09 When I was a kid, I.
Speaker 18
01:25:10 Wanted to be John Lennon.
Speaker 5
01:25:14 Carl, don't be a goof.
01:25:16 I'm trying to make a serious point here.
01:25:19 For I've been teaching for 22 years.
01:25:23 And each year, these kids.
01:25:25 Get more and more arrogant.
Speaker 1
01:25:28 ********, man. Come on.
Speaker 18
01:25:30 Vern, the kids haven't changed. You have.
01:25:35 You took a teaching position.
Speaker
01:25:36 Because you thought it'd be fun, right?
Speaker 18
01:25:38 Thought you could have summer vacations.
01:25:40 Of and then you found out.
Speaker 5
01:25:42 It was actually work that really bummed you out.
01:25:48 These kids turned on me.
01:25:53 They think I'm a big ******* joke.
Speaker
01:25:55 Come on.
Speaker 1
01:25:57 Listen, Vern, if you were 16.
Speaker 23
01:25:59 What would you think of you?
Speaker 5
01:26:00 Huh. Hey, Carl.
01:26:03 You think I give one rats *** what these kids think of me?
Speaker
01:26:06 As I do.
Devon
01:26:08 By the way, very true.
01:26:11 The boomer teachers that kept talking about the 60s.
01:26:15 One of the reasons why they let you do whatever you you wanted, what was influenced by the way that they behaved in the 60s, but part of it was they desperately and and I think this is tied to their their difficulty in facing the aging process. But they desperately wanted to be cool and they wanted to be liked.
01:26:34 By their students.
Speaker 5
01:26:36 You think about this?
01:26:38 When you get old, these kids, when I get old.
Speaker 16
01:26:42 They're going to be running the country.
Devon
01:26:44 I ******* wish you you guys won't let go.
Speaker 10
01:26:49 Now this is the thought that.
Speaker 5
01:26:51 Wakes me up in the middle of the night.
01:26:54 That when I get older, these kids are going to.
01:26:56 Take care of me.
Speaker 7
01:26:58 I wouldn't count on it.
Devon
01:27:03 Little prophetic, wouldn't you say?
Speaker 3
01:27:08 Not and and honestly it.
Devon
01:27:10 Makes you wonder. Maybe that's why boomers are refusing to let.
01:27:13 Go of power.
01:27:15 Because they're afraid.
01:27:15 Of what will happen when they do?
01:27:22 Something to think about.
01:27:27 All right, let's take a look here.
01:27:31 Arrested Development.
Speaker 3
01:27:34 And the same, but you know.
Devon
01:27:35 That that applies. Look again, I don't want to turn this into picking.
01:27:38 On the boomers.
01:27:38 I know that gets it's. It gets easy to do just because they're an easy they are an easy target.
01:27:43 And there is, you know, like I said, a lot of these significant changes happened while they were or happening, I guess while they were at the wheel.
01:27:53 And but at the same time, you gotta understand the context. You gotta understand the context.
01:28:00 That's all off topic, but but I'll answer it. What 3D software do I use? I'm learning blender, but I know it's not industry standard. Was thinking of purchasing Maya. Depends on what you want to do. If you want to do motion graphics, cinema 4D all the way.
01:28:14 If you want to do.
01:28:17 Like film industry level like.
01:28:21 Like Maya is I I don't know it. It's hard to say cause it that change is definitely not blender though not only is blender.
01:28:31 As you said, not industry standard, it's it works unlike everything else.
01:28:37 So if you learn Blender and then see if you learn cinema 4D or you learn 3D studio Max or you learn Maya or most of those, the larger packages and then you have to like switch to a different one. It is different in a lot of ways, but it's not like ******* totally different. I've tried.
01:28:55 I I I know a lot about 3:00 to 8:00 animation and I've tried to learn Blender and I just.
01:29:02 Everything so ridiculously different.
01:29:06 That it's just. I can't. I can't because I I wanted to use blender. I was like, oh, it's free. I support open source. But anyway, that's off topic.
01:29:16 I would say depends on what you.
01:29:19 Millennials and Gen. Z will be worse in power. Gen. X will be blamed for boomers mistakes.
01:29:25 Well look, Gen. X, like I've said, they.
01:29:28 Haven't been in power yet.
01:29:30 We've had boomer presidents since Bush senior.
01:29:36 So for basically you know all of the 90s.
01:29:42 All of the you know, 2000 for like the last 40 years we've had. Look how it's not just the president. I mean ******* Dianne Feinstein's, like, 1000 years old Chuck Schumer. Look, Chuck Schumer, it was was being the same evil **** he is today. Back when Waco happened.
01:30:02 You know, like if you want to hate Chuck Schumer more than you already do, just watch him in the the hearings that took place after Waco.
01:30:12 That slimy **** hasn't changed a bit. All those ************* are like 1000 years old and look the same on the left on the right, like Mitch McConnell.
01:30:22 He's no ******* spring chicken either.
01:30:26 So it's it's.
01:30:29 It's difficult to really.
01:30:32 See what what the Gen. Xers?
01:30:34 Would even do we don't know.
01:30:36 But I don't think they they. I mean, look, because you got to remember this too, I don't think.
01:30:40 They would be any better. I mean, I I don't think that you can pull out of this nosedive any way at this point. So it's kind of like.
01:30:47 It's kind of because here, here's why.
01:30:51 Here's why people, I think, find it easier to blame boomers.
01:30:59 It's because.
01:31:01 Boomers had a relatively good starting starting line, right, and most of the root problems. So demographics, right?
01:31:15 You look at this right here, I mean this is this is all white kids and this was supposed to be a movie about diversity. That's The funny thing because there was diversity. It was just a different kind of diversity, right?
01:31:29 But if you looking at any high school movie that's made today, it's it's night and day. No, no pun intended.
01:31:38 So they had. This was the very tail end of it. Like they didn't even bother. I don't know what year this came out, I guess, 1980.
01:31:44 5:00 but they didn't.
01:31:46 Even bother putting in like the token black guy.
01:31:51 That started happening, I'd say late 80s, early 90s. They had the token black guy now and now we're down to having the token white guy and he's evil.
01:32:00 You know, he's the reason why everything's bad.
01:32:05 But the boomers went to fairly white schools. They never had to interact with kids that were being bussed in. I mean, certain situations you did. But by and large, they went to a school. It's kind of like the the very first clip I played where where the the boomer was saying.
01:32:26 You know, it's it's kind of like we were all kind of from the same, you know, the same experience and you know, let me, I got that same.
01:32:33 Clip. Let's see here.
Speaker 21
01:32:36 Where'd it go?
Devon
01:32:38 Yeah, this guy.
Speaker 20
01:32:41 There's a lot going on in both psychologically and physically that needs some. Some expression needs some factor, some expression. I think what?
01:32:55 One thing that.
01:32:55 Happened in the 60s. That was very interesting. Was that, that expression was it was almost like everybody went to.
01:33:02 The same things at the same time so.
Devon
01:33:04 It's almost like everyone went through the same things at the same time.
01:33:10 So they came from a place.
01:33:13 Like, that's a huge advantage.
01:33:16 That's a huge advantage.
01:33:18 And it also makes it difficult for them to one of the reasons why boomers have again hashtag not all boomers. I get emails and messages from boomers all the time. I get it. There's a lot of you guys that are really cool and really based.
01:33:32 And I understand that.
01:33:34 Don't take it personally. Like look, you can **** on on my generation.
01:33:38 All day long and I'm not. I'm not gonna worry about it. In fact, that's gonna happen on this stream. We're gonna **** on every generation. We're gonna make. We're gonna make it equal. But one of the reasons why boomers get a little extra **** is exactly what he just said.
01:33:54 But that ***** up your perspective too.
01:33:58 See when? When?
Speaker 3
01:33:58 I went to school, I went to a.
Devon
01:34:00 School where?
Speaker 3
01:34:01 It was, uh.
Devon
01:34:03 I mean, I went to a lot of different schools. First of all, my parents moved around a lot, and so I changed schools in elementary school almost every.
01:34:09 Single year.
01:34:10 Which is a horror show for a kid, but the.
01:34:16 The one of the schools I went to, they actually lots of the schools, but one in particular. It was maybe 30% white.
01:34:26 And I got, you know, beat up on the bus.
01:34:29 Like when I was a kid like 8.
01:34:31 Getting beat up on the bus for wearing like the wrong color.
Speaker 13
01:34:35 You know.
Devon
01:34:37 Obviously I didn't have like a gang affiliate.
01:34:39 I was an 8 year old.
01:34:42 But **** like that, right? And that kind of a thing is the kind of a thing.
01:34:47 That the.
01:34:49 The boomers in that same part of the country.
01:34:53 At that same school, because the school I went to, it was a pretty old school. It was. It was around when.
01:34:57 They were going to school.
01:35:00 They didn't. They didn't have to experience that.
01:35:04 They didn't have to experience the teacher saying hold on class. I have to go now. I have to get Pedro to understand what the ****'* going on because he speaks like 10 words in English and then when I'm done with Pedro, I gotta go talk to Kwang. Actually, that's a real classmate. I like class name classmate named Kwong. Don't remember his last name.
01:35:25 But Kwang Kwang's lagging behind because, you know, he speaks very little English too. I think he was Vietnamese. I forget. Maybe not. Maybe he was Chinese.
01:35:36 But like, that's, that's the sort of thing that's the sort of thing that most people listening.
01:35:45 Had to endure.
01:35:52 It just got worse from there.
Speaker 3
01:35:53 It's, you know.
Devon
01:35:55 As our numbers shrink.
01:35:59 But because you know.
Speaker 23
01:36:01 I think I think what.
Speaker 20
01:36:04 One thing that happened in the 60s that was very interesting.
Devon
01:36:09 The interesting 60s happened.
Speaker 3
01:36:17 Yeah, there's so the.
Devon
01:36:19 Boomers catch more **** than other generations because.
01:36:23 You experienced the country the way that many of the people who have a problem with the current state would like it to be, and you rebelled.
01:36:31 Against it.
01:36:35 And like I said that first video.
01:36:38 We watched.
01:36:40 They they were rebelling. Their reasoning for it was just it just doesn't make any sense.
01:36:46 They were mad because there were rules.
01:36:50 They were mad because they were **** shaming.
01:36:58 I mean.
01:37:00 They were mad because you weren't supposed to be.
Speaker 3
01:37:02 An alcoholic in college.
Devon
01:37:09 So it just doesn't make sense on the outside looking in.
01:37:11 It just looks.
01:37:14 Extremely narcissistic.
01:37:17 And misguided and naive and just ******* stupid.
01:37:22 Which would be fine if it didn't end up affecting everybody.
01:37:24 Else but it did.
01:37:27 Let me take a look at that again.
01:37:31 Don't send your dumb kid to school if he can't speak English. Well, no, there's I don't think you know. I I think technically you.
01:37:37 Had to honestly.
01:37:40 I don't. I don't think. I mean, unless they homeschool, I guess. But that, I mean, look.
01:37:46 In the elementary schools that I went to.
01:37:49 Some of which were in California, there were like 5 different languages.
01:37:55 That kid spoke.
01:37:57 Like 5.
01:37:58 You know, there was, there was obviously Spanish was the big one, but there was always, there was always at.
01:38:04 Least you know a hand. There was always like a Chinese kid or, you know, some kind of Asian.
01:38:12 And then you mean you'd have.
01:38:15 And look, there's so many different kinds.
01:38:17 Of Asian.
01:38:18 But we have like a lot of Cambodians, for some reason, a lot of Vietnamese you had, you know, Chinese, you had, you know, and then you had like, the maybe 4 languages, I'd say maybe 50. No, because I'm count, you know, counting English would be 5, right English and Spanish.
01:38:36 And the teacher doesn't know all the teacher didn't even know Spanish, right?
01:38:41 So it would just be insane because like the teacher would teach a a subject.
01:38:46 And then say, does everyone understand and then look at the kids in the back that don't speak English, just staring at her blankly.
01:38:53 And then she'd feel bad and walk and say, OK, well, hang on, everyone do do this busy work and I'm going to go talk to these kids and then it would just be like this. Communicate I.
01:39:03 Mean how? How you know?
01:39:06 She couldn't communicate with him.
01:39:10 I mean, it was like watching it's. It's like when you watch like a comedy about a stupid American that goes to another country.
01:39:18 And they don't know how to speak the language. So they think if they speak English, really slow and loud and maybe like with a French accent, then the French person will understand them like that. That's what it was like. You know, the the teacher in the.
01:39:30 Back would just be like no, Juan, you need to put the numero over hero.
01:39:38 And like the kid has no idea what the.
01:39:40 ****, she's saying.
01:39:43 You know, like and so nothing would get tough. Nothing would, and and they would pass these kids.
01:39:51 You know that that the other video we played with the, the, the, the boomer woman that was ******** about the the condition of schools for Gen. X.
01:40:00 You know, one of the things she mentioned is like, oh, you're hearing all these horror stories in the news about kids being, you know, illiterate kids graduating high school. I know for.
01:40:09 A fact that that happened.
01:40:11 I knew kids in my high school that I mean *******.
01:40:15 Dumb as ****.
01:40:17 Probably illiterate. I don't know for a fact, but probably.
01:40:22 That were graduated.
01:40:26 That's just the way it.
01:40:27 Was they wanted to get him through the system.
01:40:33 Alright, let's take a look here.
01:40:40 Our schools were pandering to the Hispanics way back in the 70s.
01:40:47 I just remember getting lice from one of them.
01:40:51 UM, yeah. There's always, like, a ******* lice scare in. It seemed like in the 80s and 90s.
01:41:03 English, Spanish. Tagalog. Oh, I forgot about that one.
01:41:07 Vietnamese Chinese Samoan 3 to 4 random languages. So I'd say conservatively about 10:50. Languages spoken in school California statistics I think stated that there are 89 different languages spoken. Yeah, California is a ******* mess.
01:41:22 And it was a it was a mess when I lived there, which, like I said, that was.
01:41:27 That was some time ago. It was already at least, I mean, the the area that I lived in.
01:41:33 There were there were schools where it was like 30%.
01:41:35 White and then.
01:41:37 And it wasn't.
01:41:37 Like one other dominant group, it was just 30% white and then the rest was just like random.
01:41:44 We had a mini race war at my California high school during the Prop 187 thing in the 90s, whites against Mexicans.
01:41:53 What wonder what part of California that was?
01:41:57 There was stuff kind of like that happening in.
01:42:02 In New Mexico.
01:42:05 When I was a little bit older.
01:42:10 But in you know in the demographics there, it was about 50% white.
01:42:17 I had a Turkish classmate that was ******** as ****. He was typing all caps IRL and teacher never asked him. Happened in Moscow, by the way.
01:42:28 Yeah. No, it's.
01:42:30 Probably less less in Moscow, but it's every white country is experiencing some version of this.
01:42:36 And has been for some time.
01:42:40 Same here in Oklahoma.
01:42:44 Uh, the squats coming in today do not speak Spanish most people.
01:42:53 Do not know this. I don't know who the squats are.
01:42:56 San Fernando Valley seems to be 90% Hispanic. You can live here as if you live in Mexico.
01:43:06 Yeah. No, it's uh.
01:43:09 Yeah, California is just.
01:43:11 Demographically ****** forever.
01:43:16 But look, that's only part of it. That's only part of it, because the white kids were that in the in the the example in the Massachusetts example that that Lady was saying ohh, you know, test scores are going.
01:43:28 Really bad and all.
01:43:29 This other stuff there wasn't to honestly, compared to a school.
01:43:33 Today, I mean, there was pretty much virtually no, no diversity at the at the school that that she went to go visit and and maybe that's why she visited that school, right to talk about a national a problem.
01:43:47 She went to a school that was mostly white for a reason, I don't know, but that school that in particular that she talked about was was virtually.
01:43:58 All white, but then you meet the the parents.
01:44:02 Of these kids, and they're just, they're just, you know, they're these spiteful mutants.
01:44:08 In fact, I'll play like just a real quick part of it, just because it's it's not that shocking. It's just, you know that that's the level of parenting. It was this crazy ******* single mom was this guy's.
01:44:20 Home life.
01:44:23 I think this was the right.
Speaker 33
01:44:24 One lot of the teachers here.
Devon
01:44:30 Alright, so let me find it where it.
01:44:31 Shows this guy's mom.
01:44:33 But this kids like this complete drug addict.
01:44:37 And like, it's not him, although he's kind of.
01:44:40 A ****** too?
01:44:42 And like that, look, this kid look again. They're just, they're just behaving that the way that the boomers told them to. Like, listen.
01:44:47 To what this guy says.
Speaker 16
01:44:48 Really, all that bad a thing you.
Speaker 13
01:44:52 Know I have.
Devon
01:44:53 Oh wait, that's the wrong clip.
01:44:55 But these kids are trying to have, like, one of them said, yeah, it was 16 years old when my son was born. OK, so this is this kids house.
Speaker 29
01:45:04 Let me back up to where it is.
Speaker 6
01:45:07 Can we go by one day without seeing your sister?
Speaker 37
01:45:11 The normal.
Speaker 31
01:45:15 Manny's home life is another story.
Speaker 32
01:45:21 Single mom.
Speaker 30
01:45:24 All plans I mentally abuse.
01:45:26 My mother is very emotional, lady. I love her and everything like that, you know. But she just was never there for me. You know, I've had a problem. I couldn't go to her. She wouldn't understand someone. I'm hooked on drugs. She would not understand that.
Speaker
01:45:33 You still?
Speaker 33
01:45:42 Did you hear me? Yeah.
Speaker 19
01:45:45 When adults and like little children, nanny and who's in the world?
Devon
01:45:51 See. And nothing's his fault.
01:45:54 Nothing's his fault.
01:45:58 It's the crazy single mom, not my boy. My boy is wonderful.
01:46:03 Nothing's your fault. It's these adults.
01:46:06 He didn't do nothing.
01:46:09 That's what happens. We don't have fathers.
01:46:13 So diversity is just one piece of that puzzle.
01:46:18 A huge part of it was, I mean, you know, I did that whole video on divorce. How divorce exploded. Starting in like the the late 50s, early 60s.
01:46:31 Well, kids are still being born. Kids are still being raised.
01:46:35 They're just being raised and what they used to call, and now you're not allowed to say broken homes.
01:46:45 So that's affecting performance too.
01:46:51 I still remember I started kindergarten a little early. I I was four and I think it usually had to be 5, but because of.
01:47:04 Testing or whatever I got in like just you know smidge early.
01:47:10 I remember I still remember this. I remember my my mom taught me how.
01:47:14 To read.
01:47:16 Before kindergarten.
01:47:19 And I just thought ohh well, that's I'm going to.
01:47:22 Go to school and and.
01:47:24 Kids will be able to read.
01:47:29 Kids cannot read, you know, most kids could not read.
01:47:37 And I suspect this single mom here.
01:47:41 You know where nothing her kid does is is his fault. It's all the it's all the the adults acting like juveniles.
01:47:49 It's all their fault.
01:47:51 I suspect she did not have her kid ready to read.
01:47:56 Before dropping him off at school.
01:48:04 And look, it might have just been as simple as.
01:48:05 She had to work, right?
01:48:07 Because that's what happens.
01:48:10 If you don't have a father that's out there.
01:48:17 It's kind of tough to.
01:48:18 Not, you know, to to you certainly can't homeschool. Maybe, unless you're living on disability.
01:48:30 Let's take a look at chat here again.
01:48:36 Black Father, German mother. I don't know you.
01:48:40 Guys talking about now.
01:48:43 Reading doctor seuss.
01:48:45 Teach your child to read and write and do math. I don't care what they say or you have failed them. Yeah, like I said, I I I was taught to read before school.
01:48:58 And was shocked to learn, you know, 4 year old Devon sitting in a classroom and tiny little desks and everything.
01:49:06 I remember being shocked that there were kids that couldn't.
01:49:08 Write their own name.
01:49:12 Like I didn't know what to make of it.
01:49:15 And they couldn't write their ******* name. And I was just like, wow, OK, we're not going to be learning much in this class because.
01:49:24 She's talking about the ABC's over here.
01:49:26 You know.
01:49:29 In Las Vegas, I was bused into a black neighborhood school for a year project integration worst school year ever. Yeah, I can imagine.
01:49:40 See the bright side of the of this development? How many years can a state keep going when it's overruled by mulattoes perverts, lesbians, and now it's going it's going to collapse.
01:49:51 It's going to collapse under its own weight.
01:49:56 And no, that's not a joke about the fat soldier picture that I always show that I don't want.
01:50:01 To find right now.
01:50:05 It absolutely will collapse.
01:50:09 Under its own weight. Because, I mean, you can't have **** like like this as an example because the people getting degrees under these conditions and that look, they don't, they don't in some ways they don't have a choice.
01:50:24 Right when when education is degraded.
01:50:27 I mean, you think, what do you think?
01:50:28 It's better or worse than it was.
01:50:30 In the 80s and 90s.
01:50:34 So when you have these kids that they're going to a state school that just graduates them, if they're barely literate.
01:50:44 And then they get college loans, as anyone that applies will get.
01:50:51 And then they get accepted, especially if I mean look the the demographics that do the worst academically are the ones that are most likely to get accepted into college.
01:51:03 And then a lot of the bureaucrat type jobs.
01:51:07 Require a degree.
01:51:13 And so the, the the bureaucracy is going to be.
01:51:17 You know, ******* that were graded on effort.
Speaker
01:51:25 I wouldn't even.
Devon
01:51:26 Be surprised if this finds its way because I used to think like, well, with the military.
01:51:31 The reason why they'll keep the gays out of the military and the reason why they won't do this PC stuff in the military.
01:51:37 Is that directly affects the safety of the country, right? Like if they change that, then we're ******, but they can **** around this other stuff. It's not life and death.
01:51:48 You know, like well, it depends what neighborhood you live in, I guess. But you know it it it's it's more of a.
01:51:56 More of a real problem if you **** ** the military, right? Because that's what that's what America has going for it. I wouldn't be surprised if if stuff like boot camp.
01:52:08 Starts turning into based on effort. ****.
01:52:13 They're going to.
01:52:13 Have to do that anyway, I mean the.
01:52:15 The the the physical requirements.
01:52:18 Are already being lowered and the mental requirements.
01:52:24 Alright, you know, Speaking of that, let me bring up another thing that again, this is posted on my telegram at the back.
01:52:30 Up a little bit where to go. Here it is.
01:52:36 Yeah. So in addition, like so kind of, it's already kind of happening, I guess the brain drain is already happening.
01:52:43 So here's.
Speaker
01:52:45 Here's this.
Devon
01:52:47 Average IQ among Marine Corps officers declined 10 points between 1980.
01:52:53 In 2014.
01:52:57 And again, diversity will explain a chunk of that.
01:53:01 But not all of it.
01:53:06 That's a big deal.
01:53:08 I mean ****.
01:53:11 132 in 1980.
01:53:15 The average Marine Corps officer.
01:53:19 Had an IQ above 130.
01:53:22 That's not so bad.
01:53:25 It's really not so bad.
01:53:28 I think to get into the gifted program.
01:53:31 In in California, you had to be.
01:53:37 Well, I mean that would have got you in. I don't, I don't remember if the cutoff was 1:30 or 1:20, but that would have got you in.
01:53:45 So the the average, that's that's the average IQ of a Marine Corps officer in 1980.
01:53:53 10 points is a significant difference.
01:53:58 That's a very significant difference.
01:54:02 And look.
01:54:05 That's going to keep trending downward.
01:54:08 And that's just IQ. Look, that does this does not take into account the education.
01:54:15 That's just the hardware.
01:54:18 IQ is independent of education.
01:54:23 So that means the hardware has deteriorated 10 points.
01:54:31 Figure in the software changes.
01:54:35 That have been implemented since 1980.
01:54:40 So 10 points in and of itself, that's a massive.
01:54:44 That's a massive drop.
01:54:47 But the change in education?
01:54:51 Is also. That's also a massive drop.
01:54:55 So it's kind of you're going to 1-2 punch on this one.
01:54:59 And that's that's just one metric.
01:55:03 This is 1 metric.
01:55:09 Now factor and all the other things, the factor and the diversity. I don't mean that like as a euphemism, I mean like actually.
01:55:18 How cohesive?
01:55:20 Is your officer class.
01:55:26 Do they all come from like random, totally different unrelated table backgrounds?
01:55:34 Are they all patriotic even?
01:55:39 Is their vision of what they're fighting for, even kind of the same?
01:55:47 You don't think that that'll matter if we ever get into a tight spot.
01:55:56 And look, this is just this is just Marine Corps officers.
01:55:59 It's unfortunate that we don't have this kind of data when it.
01:56:02 Comes to the rest of the government.
01:56:06 I'd love to see what the the change in IQ would be for, you know, for bureaucrats.
01:56:15 I guarantee you what the demographic change has been for bureaucrats.
01:56:25 I have not been to a government office.
01:56:28 In the last.
01:56:31 I don't know, 20 years.
01:56:34 That has.
01:56:36 Been even majority white?
01:56:39 Whether you're talking about like a DMV or a post office or.
01:56:45 You know anything government.
01:56:51 Because anti white policies of hiring practices and policies have been in place now since.
01:56:59 Well, I guess since the 60s.
01:57:05 So absolutely it's going to collapse under its own weight. They can't, they can't maintain.
01:57:11 Power with these kinds of drops.
01:57:17 The US military has 100 years of.
01:57:18 IQ data. Yeah, well, the IQ and the the.
01:57:23 The list that is dropped as well.
01:57:27 But yeah, they do have.
01:57:30 They've been IQ testing for a long time.
01:57:36 They normalized diversity in my.
01:57:37 High school with foreign exchange student programs.
01:57:42 Yeah, I think that's that was a part of.
01:57:45 That I mean.
01:57:47 For exchange stuff has been going on for a long time.
01:57:50 And that's certainly part of the whole worship.
01:57:53 Of the exotic.
01:57:59 Fort Benning used to be we were soldiers. Now we are nothing but mystery meat.
01:58:06 Devin, do you think the OR, do you think Chinese will create super high IQ genius Uber managed using genetic engineering, they're trying, I don't know if they'll achieve it.
01:58:15 But they're trying.
01:58:18 North East, East Asians or NE? Asians or.
01:58:23 Whatever you want to.
01:58:23 Call them. They're their IQ's are high, the highest in the world.
01:58:29 Really. But it's.
01:58:32 That's just one metric. That's just one measurement of of intelligence and.
01:58:41 There's a lot of other things that go into.
01:58:44 Being being I guess, competitive.
01:58:48 In terms of like a conflict, right?
01:58:51 But it certainly helps to be a lot smarter.
01:58:55 Certainly helps me a lot smarter and they just have sheer numbers. Look, I mean, as I always say, if if it if it takes 9 of them.
01:59:05 To kill one of us.
01:59:07 They still win.
01:59:11 And they just they got pure numbers.
01:59:15 Ohh I want to play this clip.
01:59:19 As well, and this is all.
01:59:20 Just cause I saw it on my telegram, I forgot about it.
01:59:25 Even in areas that you think that maybe there's still a little bit of white primacy.
01:59:31 You know, like Texas, the tech, the based Texas government, right?
01:59:37 This is what they're worried about.
Speaker 4
01:59:44 Anti-Semitic platforms like Gab have no place in Texas and certainly do not represent Texas values that anti-Semitic platforms like Gab have no place in Texas and certainly do not represent Texas values. What does represent Texas?
02:00:02 Values is legislation like this by Representative King and Representative Coleman that fights anti-Semitism and.
Devon
02:00:11 So they're worried they're worried not about white replacement.
02:00:15 They're worried. And look, this goes all you Maga *****.
02:00:22 Trump never even mentioned white people once.
02:00:29 But he sure mentioned Jews a lot, and he sure mentioned anti-Semitism a lot.
02:00:39 The white people that the the white people that you think.
02:00:44 On your side that are maybe at the very minimum or an ally.
02:00:50 In the fight to to retain power in in the country of your your ancestors.
02:00:58 They're worried about anti-Semitism.
02:01:07 They're passing legislation.
Speaker 4
02:01:10 To protect.
Devon
02:01:14 That are in many ways responsible for your replacement.
02:01:24 This is just one of many reasons like why.
02:01:26 Even go after gab like.
02:01:29 Anti-Semitic platforms like Gab and look, he tweeted this out like this.
02:01:36 Why would you do that? Why would you?
Speaker 3
02:01:38 Even do that.
02:01:49 No one asked.
Devon
02:02:00 These are these are these are your guys.
02:02:10 When I say I'm black pilled, it's because of.
02:02:12 **** like this.
02:02:17 I don't think zoom or Rush Limbaugh is going to going to make a dent.
02:02:20 In this problem.
02:02:24 Alright, let me take a look at chat.
02:02:30 There were plenty of anti-Semitic comments on his tweet guest Twitter.
02:02:34 Is cool though.
Speaker 32
02:02:40 The Jews are ready to do.
Devon
02:02:41 The Bolshevik revolution all over again. Well, they're just ready to do revolutions all the time.
02:02:49 Stefan Molyneux said you need at least an.
02:02:51 85 IQ.
02:02:52 To build a somewhat stable society, I think that.
02:02:55 You need more than that.
02:02:59 I'm well. I don't know. I get I, I guess stable, but.
02:03:04 But I mean stable third World does that count? I mean if?
02:03:07 You look South of the border, I guess. I mean, what's the average IQ in in Mexico? I think it's probably more than 85, I don't.
02:03:14 Know look.
02:03:16 Let's have a look.
02:03:21 See what?
02:03:28 Of course, this data is getting harder and harder to find, right?
02:03:34 Mexico average IQ in.
02:03:38 Yeah, Mexico's barely. It's 88.
02:03:45 Is that I mean is that a stable society? I I don't. I wouldn't call it that.
02:03:55 I wouldn't call it that.
02:04:03 Alright, let's take a look here.
02:04:15 Damn 88. Yep, 88.
02:04:21 80 and 88, and also that's higher.
02:04:27 That's higher than every country to the South of them.
02:04:33 That's not a.
02:04:34 Lot of these caravan people aren't coming from Mexico.
02:04:38 They're coming from places where the IQ is not 88.
02:04:43 You know, let's, we'll just look.
Speaker
02:04:46 UM.
Devon
02:04:57 All right. So if we take a look at.
02:05:02 I'm going to Scroll down quite a.
02:05:03 Bit to find these countries.
02:05:10 All right. So Ecuador is 88.
02:05:14 Bolivia is 87.
02:05:20 Philippines is 86.
02:05:23 Cuba is 85.
02:05:26 Peru is 85.
02:05:30 Bahamas is 84, Colombia, Colombia is 84.
02:05:37 Panamas 84.
02:05:44 Then that's. Yeah, Venezuela's 84.
02:05:51 Honduras is 81.
02:05:54 And a lot of those, a lot of those caravans were coming from Honduras 8181.
02:06:02 Before they had to start including Black Iqs and the public education system below 80 was considered ********.
02:06:12 And so Honduras on average, is one point above ********.
02:06:19 Nicaragua's 81.
02:06:22 El Salvador is 80, so the average person from El Salvador is ********.
02:06:28 Guatemala is 79, so now more than half is ********.
02:06:37 Again, this this is this is just how it it was defined in white societies prior to integration was eating below you're ********.
02:06:46 South Africa and I think you can guess why is 77.
02:06:55 70 ******* 7.
02:06:59 Jamaica 71.
02:07:01 Oh, Botswana, where they have just recently.
02:07:06 Legalized, but sex 70.
02:07:12 So they're gay and ******** now.
02:07:19 Nigeria is 69.
02:07:23 Yeah, and I'm I'm skipping. Obviously I'm skipping through a lot of the African countries because they're just, you know, they are what you would.
02:07:30 Think Haiti is 67?
02:07:35 Liberia, this is. See, we all know the history of Liberia. Liberia exists because the ***** colonization after the after slavery they loaded up slaves, put them on ships. So you would think, oh, well, they they started out that they have the same constitution that we've got.
02:07:55 They started out this in many ways, the same way that Americans did, you know, on a ship going to a new land.
02:08:04 67.
02:08:08 67.
02:08:15 And yeah, the rest of are all. They're all African countries, so.
02:08:20 I mean, look, that's.
02:08:24 That's going to highly affect.
02:08:27 Our average over the years.
02:08:30 Meanwhile, you know Hong Kong is 108, Singapore 108, South Korea 106, Japan 105, China 105, Taiwan 104.
02:08:43 You know that's that's.
02:08:48 There's the brakes.
02:08:54 Let's take a look here.
02:09:01 Essentially impossible to raise IQ high IQ people need to have kids for the to.
02:09:05 Do that? Yeah. Even then, it's not. It's not a guarantee. It's if you have an exceptionally high IQ, it'll it'll just go back down. Usually to the average for your people. Closer, but yeah, you can't you can't.
02:09:21 Raise IQ anymore than you can make people taller.
02:09:26 It's it's a hardware issue.
02:09:29 They've they've tried it, they've they've spent billions of dollars on this problem. It's a hardware issue.
02:09:38 There's just that there's no way around that.
02:09:43 I think they have found that you can maybe raise it like a point or two.
02:09:48 And you know.
02:09:51 That's that's insignificant.
02:09:57 Uh, lots of 85.
02:09:58 IQ, thick Latina babes that can't comprehend complex Marxist theory. Get your hot sauce ready, boys.
02:10:06 Bad news, bad news.
02:10:10 A very long time ago, maybe two years ago, you said you may do a face reveal after some people pay you back. Did you get your? No, I'm still. Well, it's not.
02:10:21 There, there. Well, now there's there's one person in particular that owes me.
02:10:27 Owes me some money, I suspect I I suspect the word is out, which is why it's been so hard to get my money from this guy.
02:10:37 I got one last holdout, but that's.
02:10:40 I need to.
02:10:40 Have I need to have my security a little better before I do that? But that will inevitably have to happen.
02:10:49 I'm a handsome man.
02:10:52 I can't deprive you of this mug forever.
02:10:58 Let's see here. True Devon. Regression to the mean. Even high IQ parents won't necessarily have IQ kids. Yeah, well, and. And here's the thing too. Is the the opposite is true. I mean, look, I don't think my parents were particularly high IQ. I think they were probably closer than Norm.
02:11:18 But my older brother and I were outliers, you know, so.
02:11:24 I don't know. I I don't know what my brothers, kids, IQ's are. They're. But they're pretty smart kids, so.
02:11:30 I mean, I think you probably a.
02:11:31 Better luck but.
02:11:33 I don't know.
02:11:35 I don't know why. I mean, look, let me put it this way. You're certainly not going to raise the IQ of your society, but importing people that have IQ's in the 80s, you're just not.
02:11:47 You're not united. States is 98 and dropping.
02:11:51 We used to be like around 1:00.
02:11:53 05.
02:11:54 I mean, ****, there was a time we were closer to like 110.
02:11:59 But now we're at 98 and falling.
02:12:04 I mean, ****, we're we're behind, we're behind *******.
02:12:09 Uh, France. For ***** sake or no, I guess France is 98. Also, we're behind, we're behind Poland by one point, but we're still behind Poland.
02:12:22 Now let's take a look here.
02:12:25 There are still a lot.
02:12:26 Of lemmings among people with high IQ's IQ.
02:12:29 'S not everything.
02:12:30 I accuse not everything.
02:12:33 But it's it's kind of a.
02:12:35 Big deal. It's kind of important.
02:12:42 98 feels like 80s really well, I don't know. Like that's.
02:12:48 A lot of thing of this way.
02:12:50 98 the average right.
02:12:53 And look, I don't know how.
02:12:55 How up-to-date this is. This is from brainstats.com. I I don't know if it's.
02:13:02 Maybe it's not. I've did it, you know. Here's I'll tell you one thing, though, you know. You know how everyone's like. Well, Jews are just really smart. They're really smart. Average IQ in Israel 95.
02:13:14 And they don't have the diversity issues that we do.
02:13:17 We're 98, they're 95.
02:13:21 So that kind of.
02:13:22 Blows that myth out of the water.
02:13:27 Extremely high IQ people can be mental cases.
02:13:31 Absolutely, absolutely.
02:13:35 Look as a as a fairly high IQ individual, I'm not free of my my.
02:13:42 My mental quirks.
02:13:44 It's just that that's what happens when your machinery starts, when your machinery doesn't operate in the same way that.
02:13:52 The the average does.
02:13:54 It's like it's like a Lamborghini, right? It's it's fast and and complicated, but it's more things can go wrong.
02:14:05 You know the more complicated machine is the.
02:14:08 Easier it can break.
02:14:12 Yeah, once your IQ gets high enough, you start.
02:14:14 Seeing patterns where there aren't sometimes.
02:14:17 Fine line between genius and insanity.
02:14:22 You can't raise IQ long term after you get out of the out of an intense educational setting that usually drops if you point points education can't raise IQ, but it will help you reach your potential.
02:14:34 They've been reworking the they've been reworking the education system for blacks to reach full potential under whites and Asians. No, that's I'm saying it's.
02:14:44 All of education because look.
02:14:47 When they when they look at the stats and blacks, let's just say like you have a school and let's say you don't focus on blacks, you just have the same curriculum that they've been using for eons. So what happens like this? I'm just telling the story of what has happened in every school and across the country, right?
02:15:07 Oh, blacks are underperforming at your school. Therefore the problem is the school.
02:15:13 Right, that's that's what you always hear.
02:15:16 So there must be some racism happening at this school because blacks are underperforming. So let's let let's let's study this. Let's see what blacks are underperforming that.
02:15:28 And they say, oh, well, you know, Blacks, blacks are, you know, they're not as good at. Well, just as an example writing right. Oh, I got a solution.
02:15:40 We're going to stop grading based on quality.
02:15:46 Because quality doesn't matter. It's equality that matters.
Speaker 3
02:15:52 Now this this right here.
Devon
02:15:53 This is a Dean at a school.
02:15:56 And not this isn't like a a new thing. He's he's just.
02:16:02 He's just bringing it to the next level. This sort of a this sort of thinking has been around a long time.
02:16:11 I'd love to see what this guy looks like. He sounds like ******* diversity himself. Let's see here.
02:16:18 Let's take a look. Let's let's find a picture of.
02:16:21 Us. I can't even ******* say that ****.
02:16:27 And all you.
02:16:33 Uh. Let's see here.
02:16:39 Ah, he's Japanese, that ************.
02:16:44 At least he looks Japanese.
02:16:48 All right, looks kind of happy. I don't know.
02:16:50 It's hard. I'll bring him up.
02:16:53 He looks like some kind of mix.
02:16:58 It's hard to tell.
02:17:05 Click the thousand buttons required to make an.
02:17:08 Image come up.
02:17:13 This image is appropriate now.
02:17:16 I'll put this up too.
02:17:18 Poor 40 out on our education system.
Speaker 21
02:17:24 And bring up another one here.
Speaker 3
02:17:33 Yeah, I don't know.
Devon
02:17:34 This guy.
02:17:35 Need something?
02:17:44 Real mature, Devin.
02:17:47 Maybe he's got an early life. Let's see. He'd be funny if he was like, half Japanese, half Jewish.
02:17:55 I don't think he's big enough to have a a Wikipedia.
02:18:02 Is there like a about?
02:18:10 He's got a lot of anti racist writings.
02:18:19 And it doesn't say anything about his background.
02:18:26 So here, here's his curriculum right now. Here's his papers. He's written teaching anti racist reading.
02:18:35 Classroom writing assessments as an anti racist practice confronting white supremacy in the judgments of language.
02:18:45 Criticism in writing programs.
02:18:50 Narratives that determine writers and social justice writing.
02:18:57 He's ****. He's a ******* ****.
02:19:07 Ohh, those ***** ******* *****.
02:19:14 Racial mythology or methodologies for composition studies.
02:19:19 Everything he writes about is like how writing's racist, everything he writes about.
02:19:27 Racial formations into writing assessments revisited White and Thomas finding on English placement.
02:19:35 Oh, God, remember what I was talking about? How?
02:19:42 Is the programming language that your thoughts are written in.
02:19:48 And that language is a product of the people that speak them.
02:19:54 And because he is a product of thousands of years of the ******* *****.
02:20:04 English probably is in a way, racist.
02:20:08 He would probably think more efficiently.
02:20:11 In ****.
02:20:13 Maybe he does.
02:20:14 Maybe the English is a second language to.
02:20:15 Him. I don't know.
02:20:21 But yeah, this is. That's just what's necessarily you have to do in the same way that you had to to lower the ****** level, you know? Well, I mean, it was basically to put you in the slow school.
02:20:34 Right.
02:20:35 Because of integration, you had to like lower that to 60.
02:20:41 So that now I guess the only people you're keeping out?
02:20:43 Now are the Haitians.
02:20:49 Well, I don't know.
Speaker 10
02:20:50 It is just the average.
Devon
02:20:55 Alright, let's take a look at chat.
02:20:56 Him ******* *****.
02:21:02 English is my second language, but I often think using it.
02:21:07 Yeah, I I I.
02:21:08 I know people that flip back and forth. They say their dreams flip back and forth and.
02:21:14 You know, in a way, if you speak it often enough, it just starts to become more of the the vocabulary starts to become.
02:21:23 Just part of your native language. I think the big differences are is the structure and order of words of words. If you have a language that's similarly structured, it's probably not a big difference.
02:21:40 A Jewish professor from Evergreen College tried giving some woke speech in front of a crowd of black students. They called them spicy white and demanded money from him. Yeah.
02:21:53 I sometimes can't find a word in Polish for an English word.
02:21:59 If you don't dream in Latin, you ain't white.
02:22:04 Well, I don't know.
02:22:06 I don't know.
02:22:09 I was watching my cousin Vinny.
02:22:17 And let me show you.
02:22:25 Let me see. Let me see if your.
02:22:26 Theory holds up.
02:22:28 If these are the white people you're talking about.
02:22:32 Is that let's see here.
02:22:36 So that's white, huh?
02:22:42 Is that white? That's white?
02:22:48 I mean the guy on.
02:22:49 The Left's a Jew, but.
02:22:54 Yeah, that's white, huh?
02:23:04 OK.
02:23:14 Alright, let's see here.
02:23:20 English proliferated because of the well and also because the the British Empire.
02:23:27 Have you ever heard of any of those stories of Japanese foreign exchange students being shocked and horrified of American schools families giving them kid feed, school drugs, crime, et cetera? Yeah, I mean, I think I absolutely. Yeah. I think that you would.
02:23:44 Have that kind of reaction we had in my school. We had Russian exchange students. Right. And so there was a a bunch of, you know, culture shock going on there. But yeah, a lot of it was tied to diversity. And it was funny because my boomer teachers at the time wrote it off his.
02:24:05 Ohh well, they're just racist. You know, in in Russia and look, they are they are. But I think in a healthy way.
02:24:12 As an example, part of that exchange program my buddy.
02:24:18 Went went to Russia.
02:24:20 And while he was out there, there was some like black kid from like Sudan or something like that. That was part of the.
02:24:31 Exchange program or whatever and when they would go out at night to like the bars, cause you know there's I guess you can drink when you're young. Cause I I think he was like 17.
02:24:41 Or 18 when this was going on.
02:24:44 The the bartenders wouldn't serve serve him, so the the the white kids would have to go get him drinks because no one would ******* serve him.
02:24:53 And he thought it was hilarious cause cause like this at the time all you were hearing was like how Europeans, you know, Europeans think they're far superior to racist America. Like, you heard that all the time, right?
02:25:06 And you still hear that, right?
02:25:09 And and then you go to Europe or other just other parts of the the world and realize, wow, no, actually Americans are the just the most self hating they they've got the most white guilt out of anybody.
02:25:22 I mean the the this idea that there's this woke.
02:25:27 World outside of America. They all. Yeah. Look and look don't run. They all do. Look down on us and they all think we're stupid and and racist and whatever but.
02:25:37 They have. They have no idea.
Speaker 10
02:25:41 Let's take a look.
Devon
02:25:41 Here, I guess that's changing a little bit now. I mean, look now that now that the Europeans are are getting a first hand look at at diversity.
02:25:51 Uh Japanese need to get male primacy to get a hold of their culture, like what China is doing now. Yeah, Korea's gotta do the same thing. Korea's got a huge problem now where their women are over educated and because of their culture where you can't marry down, you have to marry up. There's a lot of lot of childless.
02:26:13 Women in Korea that.
02:26:15 That probably won't have kids because.
02:26:17 They focus so much on their career and look, I know some people personally where their education.
02:26:26 Because they focus so much on their education and their status, it's so high now the for them to.
02:26:37 Mary up, I guess. I mean you, you're the guys got to have at least A at least a PhD.
02:26:45 At least a PhD and then he's.
02:26:48 Got to make like.
02:26:50 A **** ton of money.
02:26:52 And so they've they've priced themselves because you know, because of their standard that they use.
02:27:00 They've priced themselves out.
02:27:01 Of the market.
02:27:03 You know, they've they've made it impossible and because of this, a lot of Korean men are getting Chinese peasant wives.
02:27:13 So that they can have children.
02:27:22 The you guys are talking about the. Oh, yeah, the the weird Korean Korean witch lady that got deposed. Do the Jays want to push immigration into Asian countries like, yeah, they everywhere.
02:27:34 Everywhere the golem have to be all mixed up. That's I think that I I I don't quote me on it, but I think that's actually part of the the Tom Mudik end end times ****.
02:27:49 What about black people typing exactly like they talk? Well, that's how they think.
02:27:57 You know, do you think that that it's all just like a a dialect that they put on to be cool when they when they?
02:28:08 Have you know I'm trying to think of a way to put this.
02:28:11 You know, let's face it, in in, in many, many ways, the Black dialect.
02:28:17 Has is a version of English that has been simplified. Let me put it that.
02:28:25 With that simplification.
02:28:31 Yeah, that's if that's the way they're speaking. That's the way they're thinking.
02:28:37 And and it's, you know.
02:28:40 It is what it is. I mean, 400 years later, if you you haven't grasped the language yet, it's just one of the it's a it. It goes back to English, is a product of the people who speak it.
02:28:54 And English didn't come from Africa.
02:28:59 And so it doesn't matter if if you try to teach Africans the proper way to speak English for 400 years.
02:29:09 You're going to have some compatibility issues.
02:29:15 And again, there's outliers. I'm just broad strokes here, right?
02:29:21 There's, there's a lot. There's a.
02:29:22 Lot of very well spoken black men, but you.
Speaker 3
02:29:25 Know what? There's. That's the thing too. There's there's.
Devon
02:29:28 Some smart black guys out there who still struggle with English and you know, and they have little black isms or I don't know you'd call it. But you know, I mean, there's little tells.
02:29:42 I heard the African language.
02:29:47 As languages don't have concepts of Future Past other than I, I'm sure it's different for. I don't know how many languages are in Africa, but it's a big place.
02:29:56 I would assume there's a lot of different languages on that continent.
02:30:05 Yeah, a lot of people talking about the time thing. I've heard something about that, I don't know all the INS and outs of it.
02:30:22 Chicken strips. I don't know what that is. Oh, you talk about chicken strips?
02:30:28 They only had a written language in Ethiopia when we got there.
02:30:33 Yeah, no, Ethiopia.
02:30:36 And I think because genetically it's true. I think they they are they have a.
02:30:40 Lot of Arab.
02:30:43 Genes in their gene pool.
02:30:46 And in fact, they even have some Hebrew.
02:30:48 Genes in their gene pool. That's why you have like the Ethiopian Jews.
02:30:53 That that, that I mean, there's been Ethiopian Jews for like, a really ******* long time.
02:30:58 And that's because at some point, and I don't know what the timeline is, but at some point Jews went to what is now Ethiopia.
02:31:08 Along with Arabs. And that's, I mean, Ethiopians look different. They're, you know, The Ethiopians don't consider themselves.
02:31:18 Black and they looked, they looked totally different than West Africans.
02:31:25 Like I said, it's a big continent. There's there's in the same way that, like I said, America had diversity, just it was diversity in the different kinds of white people. Africa has diversity. It's got a bunch of different kinds of blacks.
02:31:41 Just remember, every minute that passes in America 2 pass in Africa and only you can stop it. For I don't know what you're talking about there. Ethiopia is close to the Arab Peninsula and there's been a lot of intermixing. Yeah, right.
02:31:58 You know, in the same way Italy is close to Africa.
02:32:06 There's no, you know, just, you know, just just saying.
02:32:10 Just saying, you know.
02:32:13 Just saying, uh.
02:32:17 You know.
02:32:24 You know, just just, just saying.
02:32:27 Uh, yeah.
02:32:32 Look up African language, African mind on YouTube. Yeah, I'll take a look at that because people do bring that up and I.
02:32:44 I I don't know all the facts on that one, so I'm gonna have to look it up.
02:32:50 People talking about cursive? Yeah, they haven't taught cursive in quite some time. I don't know how much that matters.
02:32:59 I never got.
02:33:00 Really proficient at cursive because it was already kind of on the way out when I was.
02:33:05 In school, so they didn't spend a lot of time on it. They they tried, they were doing some weird. What was it called? Like Danielian or Mcmillion or something like that. It was like a.
02:33:15 Halfway between print, I don't know why they were even messing around with that ****.
02:33:21 Some experimental writing, though, that doesn't exist anymore.
02:33:29 We're going to have to figure out a secret message to get into the movie group. No anyone build. So here's what I was kind of.
02:33:34 Thinking with the movie stuff.
02:33:36 And then we'll wrap up.
02:33:39 It has been going.
02:33:40 A while.
Speaker 32
02:33:42 With the movie.
Devon
02:33:45 I'm wondering if one way to motivate people.
02:33:49 Is and this is just an idea, so don't don't think that this is where we're going to go with it. I'm just. I'm going to float it out there and see what people think.
02:33:59 What if?
02:34:00 The way we do it is we have like a.
02:34:06 A few different scenes.
02:34:08 With like very loosely direct real loose direction, right? So let's say.
02:34:14 I say we need a scene where the the phone on a camera gets turned on during a private Antifa conversation. I'm just I'm not stupid, but whatever. You know, something like that. Like a private conversation between 2 Antifa people and like, that's all.
02:34:34 The direction you get.
Speaker 7
02:34:35 Right.
Devon
02:34:37 And let's say we have a couple different things like that where you just have, you know, 20 scenes or more to choose from. You can pick any of these scenarios, right?
Speaker 32
02:34:49 And then.
Devon
02:34:51 What we do is make it kind of like a a contest.
02:34:55 So it's not like you pick a scene and you're the only one that's going to be.
02:34:59 Doing that, a bunch of people can submit their version of that scene.
02:35:07 And then we vote or something like that. Like we could, like I said, we could even we could do a thing where it's voting or just we can have judges or but.
02:35:14 We select.
02:35:15 The best out of those?
02:35:17 And then your clip gets in the film.
02:35:21 I just don't know. That's just something I was thinking might be might be a way to, you know, cause competition is always good. And so maybe that'll get people to maybe want to try a little harder.
02:35:32 Make it a little better.
02:35:35 Knowing that if they don't do a good job, you know that it's they're gonna get beat by someone else.
02:35:41 I don't know what.
02:35:41 Do you guys think of that idea?
02:35:53 Zoomers say the **** out of BT now zoomers used a lot of.
02:35:59 Black isms, that's for sure.
02:36:06 Let's see here. I think guys are a little.
02:36:09 Lagged behind, so I'm still waiting.
02:36:21 Alright, you guys are just talking about.
02:36:23 Language still anyway, so that's that's just an idea.
02:36:28 That's just an idea so.
02:36:32 Let's go ahead and wrap up. I don't have a secret message tonight.
02:36:36 I'm still a little behind on that.
02:36:39 But I will reinstate the secret messages. They won't be tied to participation in any kind of movie stuff. They, but they will. They will most likely give you access to other things.
02:36:55 So keep an eye out for that.
02:36:59 Alright guys.
02:37:01 Well, in the next stream, possibly, and we might take a break from all this generational stuff.
02:37:07 I kind of want to break from it because I've just been watching old ******* **** over and over and over again.
02:37:12 The last.
02:37:14 Week or so, and so it would be.
02:37:17 Nice to do something else. So we'll see. What what we do. But in the sometime in the near future we are going to, we're going to go, you know away from the boomers entirely. Look at Gen. X, look at millennials and.
02:37:34 What we might.
02:37:36 Expect to see and look, we're already kind of seeing it right. Like you could say AOC.
02:37:42 She's a millennial, right? I mean, she's uh, I don't know old she is, but I think she's. I don't. I don't think she's like in her mid 40s. So she's got to be like a millennial. So there's I think that's what you're going to expect to see.
02:37:54 You're going to see diversity, you're going to see diversity, you're going to see diversity, racial diversity, sexual preference, diversity. You're going to see just, I mean it's it's just going to be less power for you. It's going to be less founding stock. I think really that's going.
02:38:13 To be the.
02:38:14 The biggest change?
02:38:16 And because.
02:38:18 In the same way that like that boomer guy that was saying, oh, we I feel like we all experienced the same thing at the same time and and because that's so different now, right, I don't think that you're going to have the same.
02:38:31 Kind of.
02:38:35 Because of the diversity, because there were so many different kind of households and there were so many different subcultures and you know, just the The Breakfast Club thing, right. Those are all the white people. And there's like, these five different subcultures. Now there's like, hundreds of them.
02:38:49 I think it's going to be harder to to just look at one generation now and say, oh, well, this is like the defining characteristics of this generation. This is what this. I mean, there's gonna be a.
02:39:00 Few things right, but it's it's not going to be as consistent because you, I mean you're talking about people from.
02:39:09 All kinds of different backgrounds now, with all kinds of different religions, value systems, economic status, education like it's just a ******* mess now. So it's not as easy to.
02:39:21 Be like oh.
02:39:22 Well, the Gen. X clearly is going to be like this now. It'll be easier to hammer down.
02:39:29 One demographic right, and maybe that's something to do. Maybe we could look at it demographic by demographic.
02:39:35 You know, because.
02:39:37 One of the things that changes when you don't have white primacy isn't just the obvious problems that the white people experience as a lack of white primacy. White primacy would also look at the when you saw the the video I played the the seller or the secret to selling the *****.
02:39:58 And they were showing like, the the black people, the cosbys, or let's just use the Cosby as an example.
02:40:04 The cosbys.
02:40:06 Culture was defined by white primacy.
02:40:11 Right, they they were white.
02:40:13 They were. They were basically black, white people.
02:40:16 And as white primacy goes away, that and that standard is gone, and it's gone now.
02:40:25 You won't even have like that artificial.
02:40:30 Cohesiveness between the different racial groups. You know you're not going to have the cosbys, you know you're not going to have that because that norm in and of itself now is seen as white supremacy, like the cosbys, our white supremacy. Really. I mean the.
02:40:45 Way that they mean it.
02:40:46 The Cosby Show is white supremacy and look now that now that he's a ****** that I guarantee you it's only a matter of time before they outright say that, you know, they're going.
02:40:56 To have people actively trying to get the Cosby Show taken down because it's white supremacy.
02:41:02 Or The Jeffersons, right. Same thing like before the the The Cosby Show was The Jeffersons. Yeah, it was the the black family that ended up making enough money to where they could mimic.
02:41:14 White culture.
02:41:17 And they, you know, they'd have these jokes about ohh the the the some of the racial differences and some of the cultural differences, but ultimately The Jeffersons were, I mean you know they moved to the white part of town like that was the whole point of the show, right? Was this black family, you know, gets enough money to move to the white part of town and.
02:41:34 And so that a lot of their culture was defined by white primacy. Well, now that's gone.
02:41:43 And they're and really the only thing that has primacy right now is is facts. Like really that's the only thing that seems to be.
02:41:54 Equally spread across all the people now, right?
02:42:02 Really. And and and look at. That's right. Left, center. That's every political persuasion.
02:42:11 Seems to be welcoming that **** with open arms.
02:42:15 It's the only thing that really I think isn't, isn't that like a sad statement on our society that the glue that holds us together right now is is come.
02:42:29 Oh gross. I was going to get grosser than that, but that's already OK.
Speaker 3
02:42:34 All right, guys. Well, some things to think about.
Devon
02:42:38 We'll do this again.
02:42:41 In 48 hours.
02:42:44 4 black pilled. I am of course.
02:42:48 Devin stack.
Speaker 14
02:42:54 Ohh yes.
02:42:55 4th of July, yes.
02:43:00 Sunny day.
02:43:02 4th of July.
02:43:04 Hey, guys. The rocks about to start. It's about to start, man. It's all about the rock right now, inside the barn.
