INSOMNIA STREAM： OUTRAGE EDITION
Stream Summary
This stream, hosted by Devon Stack, centers on the theme of "outrage" in contemporary society, particularly focusing on the erosion of the American spirit, the shift from real-world action to online engagement, and the concept of vigilante justice as depicted in 1980s American media. The host discusses a made-for-TV movie called "Outrage" (1986), using it as a lens to critique changes in culture, justice, and race relations. The stream also features commentary on legal systems, multiculturalism, and the perceived decline of traditional values, interspersed with responses to hyperchats and super chats from viewers.

Key Points of Wisdom
- [00:10:10] "As people have become more online, more terminally online, and less in the real world, the more they're afraid of actually, well, just existing in the real world, let alone acting in the real world." (Reflecting on societal changes)
- [00:11:38] "Anytime people suggest doing things in real life, you get called a fed... because, oh no, no, that's not the way we do things." (Commenting on online activism vs. real-world action)
- [00:12:10] "Vigilantism used to be kind of just part of the American culture. It's the way Americans viewed justice in a lot of ways, when the system wasn't working, they would go outside the system and take care of their problems themselves." (On American justice)
- [00:57:39] "No one talks about tolerance when referencing something good. You know, I've said no one has to tolerate ice cream unless they're lactose intolerant. I guess right now you don't have to tolerate good things."
- [00:57:59] "So it was should have been obvious from the get go that multiracial societies were not a good thing if they were something you had to tolerate, because you only have to tolerate things that are bad."
- [01:00:19] "Maybe that's not going to drive me fucking nuts. Maybe that's not going to send me into a rage, where I go on a shooting spree or something like that, having a mosquito flying around, but it's not something I want. It's not something I would ever ask for. I would never be like, Oh yeah, you know what I need right now is a fucking mosquito buzzing around my head. No one's ever had that thought. So, why? What's the upshot?"
(This quote continues the analogy about tolerating bad things versus good things like ice cream.)
- [01:00:19] "Tolerance is a luxury that only monolithic, racially monolithic societies can afford." (On multiculturalism and societal stress)
- [01:47:33] "You don't need laws for things, a lot of things, if you have a nation of your own people that all kind of have the same value system, you don't have to legislate everything, because everyone... it's predictable how they're going to behave." (On law, culture, and social cohesion)
- [02:09:42] "Your genetic code can just end up in a database like this. Not great." (On technology and privacy)
- [02:21:00] "If you avoid acute or chronic exposure, you're pretty much going to be okay." (On radiation and risk)
