@@fruitygarlic3601 actually, its still spelt as "film" its just that because of his accent, he says "fillum" 😊 its very common in Great Britain and similar European countries, its like how, in the US, the difference in how people say pecan, caramel, Carribean etc...
"I don't necessarily like to categorize people on the basis of what they are. I prefer to deal with people on the basis of who they are; what they can do; what they choose to do. That is how I regard other people."
I’ve seen parts three and one, and watching this now. You know what I noticed? Your viewers are asking you questions beyond the “what’s your fav makeup brand?” You’ve created this dialogue where your viewers even have intellectual conversations with you and I think that’s awesome. Appreciate your work and I love how unique you are.
I just squealed bloody murder with excitement when I heard that. My neighbours will probably be calling the local sanitarium any second securing my transorbital lobotomy, straight jacket, and padded room. I didn't really scream any words as it was more of an ahhhhhhhhhh sound very loud and very sharp. very much akin to the sound one might hear whilst chasing after a very flamboyantly dramatic chicken whose not keen on getting captured by the hungry man chasing him quite amusingly My animals are looking at me perplexed and worrisome that their father has finally cracked up... lol
John on wearing black: And now, I think this is a great misconception about me. I think a lot of people only think that I ONLY WEAR BLACK. This is simply not the case. I don't wear JUST BLACK. Certainly not black on its own. I also wear fetching black, dashing black, refined black, seamless black, elegant black, noveau black, light but dark black, dark black, ultra black and pastel black. Raven black, matte black, glossy black and satin black. Pitch black. So no, I don't wear just black. I wear many types of black. It can be awfully stressful, getting ready in the morning. 😂😂😂😂😂
sorry, not to nitpick, but isn't it the whole body that needs nutrition? Or did I misunderstand lol I apologize, I do not mean to waste your time with a possibly unimportant comment, but is it not the entire body that needs nutrition? Perhaps I misunderstood, haha. I express remorse, for it is not my intention to take up a lot of your time with a comment that is perhaps insignificant in the grand scheme of life and might ruin the joke. However, it has come to my attention that you implied that the only organ that requires the nutrition obtained by feeding oneself is the stomach, and that is simply not the case. It is possible I might have misinterpreted your intention. Hahahaha.
I feel that the world would benefit from you doing a Tedtalk. Your view on the world and education is amazing and I wish you would bring it to a greater platform.
There are moments when I think to myself "Why can't we just put a crown on John and call it a day?" His views are so incredibly embracive and empowering. He really should be given a big platform like TED Talk. Until then, we should get inspired by people like John and try to get as many people involved in the discussion, and whenever someone comes up with "He's just a beauty guru", we'll laugh at that argumentum ad hominem and move on.
60s loliita I found his channel a couple hours ago and feel my thoughts and vocabulary have already improved. He’s so captivating and holds abounding wisdom.
It most certainly has. Although i am part of the german republic , john is definitely inspiring me to further my knowledge in the english language. (I am trying my best here guys)
@@mindanbi2992 as I, myself, am a citizen of the German Republic, I am also channelling to improve my English. Watching his filims had an amazing effect on not only my English, but also my grades. (Lol I really tried. Let's be honest we still suck at it...)
Dida and John appear and act very similar, oozing grace and poise, but they project and emulate that in very different ways. Yet I still view them as long lost twins.
@@elysian7510 I really really love that! we need a little bit more of this sort of grandure in our lives, we can learn so much only from the way he speaks his words... I'm so much in awe! xoxo
Thank you, John, for pointing out that very many of us do NOT enjoy or appreciate the word "queer" in reference to ourselves or others. Your explanation as to why the "reclaiming" of that word is pointless and, frankly, hurtful, is much more calm and methodical than I've ever managed. I don't particularly care when people use that word for themselves, but when they use it in reference to me or the community at large, I remember all the times I've heard it in hateful contexts and I can't help feeling... furious. I am not strange, I am not unusual, I am not sick.
Delirium24 I mean... people used the word “gay” as an insult all throughout the 90’s and people don’t seem to have a problem with that... I think it’s ok to have preferred terms you want people to use. But also realize that almost every word used to describe people of the GLBTNbQ+ community has been used as an insult at one time or another... that’s just me be realistic about actual history. It’s all about context, geography, and generation. But others aren’t responsible for intuiting your preferences. Personally I identify as non-binary. My only other reason for thinking of “queer” as ok is because in terms of demographics we are outliers. In terms of population people who identify outside of cishet are less than 12% of the population. Actually I’ve seen data that indicates lower numbers than that. Anyways I’m a person of numbers. And in terms of language, I personally tend to speak in a more literal way. So the connotative meaning of the word doesn’t seem like an insult to me. And connotation is always in flux. These words are floating signifiers at best... I think what’s important is that it’s ok to be different. And that our differences are a source of power and strength instead of a reason to be mistreated and harmed.
I understand that for many people that word brings back very painful memories and there are basically two ways to react to those feelings: avoiding that word or taking charge of that word's meaning and changing it in an act of empowerment. There is no right or wrong reaction. Everyone is determined by their own biography and personality structure to act and react in certain ways. I want to challenge John's claim on the power of words however, which I think he over-pronounces. It is not the words that hold power, its the thoughts they evoke. That is why a change of words often doesn't lead to the desired changes because the thoughts that arise are still the same. Someone who may have been awfully ostracized because of their sexuality will be reminded of their otherness and their feelings of shame regardless whether they use the word "gay" or "homosexual" or "same-sex attraction" etc. The power is within the mind and in the conscious working with our thoughts, not in a change of vocabulary.
Sam response is always preceded by thought unlike reacting, which is usually automatic and aggressive. I think this is the major difference between the two.
I have 3 children. All born biologically male. However, I teach my children to accept each person as a human. Wether they’re an equal child or their elder. Take for instance, my 5yr old, came over & looked at your appearance while I was watching this video. My child said, “that’s a very pretty person.” Not, “that’s a very pretty boy/girl”. This is because I’ve been into makeup my entire life, as far back as I can remember, so my children’s lives have that as a big part as well. I watch males/females/transgenders/people insure of their gender & have always taught my children to look as every single person as a human & not automatically associate makeup with just female. Just like the colors blue or pink, they do not signify male or female on my life or my children’s life. You are a very well educated person & I greatly appreciate that & your personal point of view. I could not agree more, in regards to your view on how to implement change, that we must start with children & how we teach them to view others & the world (animals, governments, finances, the planet, food, etc.). Thank you, John 💜
I love this. I am pleased to hear that children like yours are being raised to see people as humans and not as categories. It's been an ongoing process to retrain my brain to not think of people as men and women, black and white and brown, gay and straight. While all of these prejudices weren't directly taught to me, they have been ingrained into my mind by the way society and the media have continually categorized people and overtly or subtly treated different kinds of people differently. I hope for a future which breaks free of this primitive way of thinking and treating others.
@@staycurious644 You are correct. However, that doesn't apply to this situation given that they CLEARlY didn't critisise one group to positively promote the other. All they did was say there's a different between the two. Perhaps it could be read as a generalisation, however (as I've already stated) they didn't negatively describe either, therefore the generalisation doesn't matter, since it isn't offending anyone.
Light but dark black, pastel black.....😆 Your sense of humor is so subtle because you sound so serious when you speak, but the stuff you come up with is absolutely hilarious.
I cannot believe he’s only 24. He speaks so eloquently, so cogently, so concise, and deliberate. I am jealous, truly. Can you imagine the type of wisdom a soul like John’s will be doling out at 40? I’m amazed - and it’s saying a lot because humans seldom amaze me. I’m absolutely smitten with him.
He was probably raised by a trio of maiden great aunts who were novelists, gardeners, furniture restorers, or couturists...or had a combination of those sort of skills.
how is this person only 24??HOW have you reached this level of just.. intelligence and life experience in this short time I have to believe that whoever raised him is just amazing
He's the most amazing creature. This is my new podcast obsession. If only he'd start one. I think he's only 24 centuries. He has the knowledge of 24 light years though
I doubt you have time to read the comments but I just want to say thank you. It's really refreshing to find a man, a proud man who displays femininity and doesn't conflate it with gender. It's a rarity, and fascinating. Brave really. If you're a man and don't conform to gender there is a pressure to push a female label on them, there has to be an explanation for it, a man can't look feminine and beautiful and be a man????? Actually yes, they can. I have nothing against people who do identify outside of their born gender but I'm just noting this distinction. I love it. We need to widen our understanding of gender (or better yet, tear it down). I love your aura and your expression of self. You're so fascinating, you give me the same feeling of 'excitement' I had when I first discovered Bowie or Eddie Izzard. Not to mention that you're well spoken, androgynous, and a wicked sense of humour which get a big fat tick in my book. You've gained a new sub
John’s discussion of the use of the world “queer” and the meaning and implication...it’s brilliant and insightful and really thought provoking. This is so much more than a “makeup guru video” It’s a Ted talk
I move to vote Lord Maclean as the initiating member of the first iteration of the Inter-Galactic and Global Human Rights Council. All in favour, say I.
"So that, when you are presented with somebody else that you may not necessarily understand, you will recognize your own fear or your lack of understanding rather than simply lashing out at them and outsourcing the responsibility for your own ignorance" A M E N
me: what is your favorite color? john: goes on a 10 minute tangent describing various shades of red, their history and origin, how to say it in different languages, etc
I show them to mine, some of them don't really understand english but they start to say 'marvelous' and other melodic sounding words. John expresses ideas we live by and try to teach to our children, so showing this videos to them helps a lot to normalize our view ( it's not the same listen to your parents say something than listen to strangers say the same thing (in john's case in a polished and refined manner) with other words).
This film👏👏👏 whom ever asked the second question thank you because John's response was the most beautiful, rational, genius, genuine answer. 💗💕the black question & his answer😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love this film with all of my heart.
You are such a beautiful soul. I love how you explain your displeasure with the word “ Queer”. And I love the way you suggest people discard those derogatory terms and words. Because words do have power, and they should be chosen carefully and used reverently
Other beauty gurus Q&A : What's your favorite makeup? Lord MacLean's Q&A: *asking about philosophical and existential questions about love, life, and death.
I love how he sorts of elaborates further from the question and then goes back to answer it directly. It makes every point he tries to explain very clear.
I came across your channel recently and I just feel blown away. You’re extremely unique and soft and mysterious, this is so refreshing from everything I’ve been watching on RU-vid.
So interesting I though of black people using the N word towards each other Yes you’re claiming the word and ‘owning’ it, but if oppressors has never called you that as a negative term, you wouldn’t be using it.... therefore adopting the word is still giving them power in a way. I’m not black and it’s generally not my oppression but I found it a very interesting thought exercise. I’ve never seen a JM video before this one but I was not expecting this and am so surprised and impressed. I’ve never seen a beauty personality on RU-vid so well spoken and intelligent. Much respect. ✊🏻
fatima Ali I agree with you I’m broken hearted when I hear some stories and I’m not insensitive But using that word isn’t helping anything except keeping that stereotype or history alive
Professor R. Chaos i am black and i never say it. I feel like those who do are kind of hypocritical or fooling themselves somewhat if they still get upset when a non black person uses that word. If a word has the ability to make you feel a certain way if the "wrong" person says it then you need to realize that the problem isnt just the speaker but the word itself.
You seem to be confused about what he implied. A reaction means you are simply using your emotions to guide which course to take, rather than thought. No one is diminishing the problem by refusing to use a certain word or, better yet, refusing to give or take any power from it. Language is communication, not ideas, and as such, it is subjected to a myriad of different channels that might or might not aid its ultimate goal. The point here is: there is a problem, but acting like an irrational spoiled brat isn't solving it, as you can see, since you haven't, and neither has anyone. Until you can question and effectively counter someone's reasoning by usage of rational response, you are as good as useless to the cause, and you are effectively doing more hard than good. Reconsider, and maybe take John's advice and "edit", perhaps then people will be more willing to understand.
I absolutely enjoy watching each and everyone of his films. But I have to confess something. My favorite part is when he says “bye“. He says it in such a beautifully soft way.
"My life is the norm to me. Your life is the norm to you." Hands down, you are the wisest person on all of RU-vid. Your words are so inspiring, and tonight especially, I certainly needed to hear the bit about not molding our circumstance around those who are negative. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and your creativity with us.
I absolutely love John's answer regarding the use of the word "queer". It is quite thought provoking and well said. I agree with him. Liberty is fundamental.
Selina Gintner how about, “introducing John Maclean”? I think it would be more respectful of John’s choice to maintain areas of privacy in his life. It would also be nicer to introduce John to a greater audience, but of course this is completely up to him. That kind of exposure can create a great momentum of positive support, appreciation, and wonder in John’s skills and persona on RU-vid, but there is also the hate and negative people/attention that come along with greater exposure. We all want our beloved RU-vidrs to garner the acknowledgement we feel they deserve, but not all RU-vidrs want that kind of recognition and we should respect their needs and comfort zones.
I enjoy your video's very much, I am learning a great deal about how to put on my makeup. its about time, I am 67. i think you are wonderful and possess a great deal of wisdom and common sense. Thank you
I'm so sick of Mastress Maclean beaming his beauty all over the universe!!! His intense gloriosity keeps me awake day and night. Please, Mastress, think of we who _need_ sleep!!!
Such a HIGHLY INTELLECTUAL being! John, where were you educated? And, if I may, what was your major, or subject of study? You come across as a philosopher! Nietzsche reincarnated? I so enjoy listening to your thoughts. Ever consider creating a pod cast? I think you have ALOT to offer this world, John! Thank you for sharing.
You're authentic. I like authenticity. It is such a rare quality in the media these days. This is what has drawn me to your channel, and kept me here ever since. The idea you put about a universal, humanistic education approach is on point, and yet so severely ignored these days. Knowledge is power and educating people into a bigger understanding of themselves and the world gives them that power. That's not very sought after by classes that currently hold it in their hands to decide who is (and remains) on top. I think it is marvellous that you voice up these values so eloquently, not only with your words, but your entire choice of demeanour and content focus. Please, keep being genuine and bringing us such great content. :)
T. Roma I read your post & think you & I are like-minded in regards to our views on certain things. I Too posted here in the comments section & although it’s a bit long, it’s still only a paragraph lol. So I did a copy/paste & thought I’d share it w/u here. Im curious about your thoughts. 😊: --At around 11 min. (& a little before) where John talks about self responsibility & recognizing our own fears when we’re presented w/something we don’t understand is FANTASTIC! I teach a very similar idea to clients in sessions as part of a self healing modality. John talks about teaching self responsibility to children which is vital & so necessary. I teach this to adults that need healing because they weren’t taught this as children. It’s difficult to explain here b/c it’s such a rich subject but John has an awareness about humanity that is a bit different because it goes in a direction that can help the collective to see differently & then make choices that reflect this & I feel this is very needed here right now. Im seeing the trickle down effect of people who think & believe like John more & more. It’s profound & impactful. It makes me wonder, what if we had a system in place that teaches children all the things that our regular education system does not; the topics that we all have wished for at some point & said, “gee if they had only taught this in grade school.” There are things (like this topic for example) that will most likely need generations to completely catch on simply b/c of the depth of healing that needs to occur before the (collective) beliefs of people change. But I feel like once it does, the overall experience of life will become better in all of the ways that really matter. Healing allows us to let go of the old & take in something better & hence will then become a part of what we teach to our children. John has a clarity about things that most of us don’t learn until life teaches it through painful experiences. Teachers like John are very needed here right now & it is because of his beliefs about topics like this, his presence alone has a huge impact on humanity. We come into our incarnations here w/a soul purpose or mission & I can clearly see a part of his & it’s beautiful. It is already helping to raise the mass vibration of the planet. 💚❤️💜
Authentic... His speech is entirely fabricated, forced and painful to listen to. He is trying far too hard to be someone he isn't, which shows through his incorrect pronunciations. I'd have rather a lot more respect for him if he was entirely authentic and spoke according to the way in which he is accustomed.
We have become accustomed to words being re contextualised to mean different things in this mdern generation. I too know queer to be a derogatory and ugly word. Such a brilliant explanation John. You are a person with the rare quality of great sense of self and courage of conviction which matches a high level of integrity. So refreshing to see someone not bow down to the modern paradigm of being or thinking.
I agree wholeheartedly on your views about educating children about self responsibility and discipline. To fight against any sort of enslavement. Very insightful.
"the kind of climate we have now hasn't necessarily changed people's minds; the cost of being open about those prejudiced views are much higher" I couldn't agree more. People are just less vocal about being bad people, but we're still bad people. We're still prejudiced. Part of the reason is that instead of educating ignorant people, we just shut them up, so ignorant people become fearful of voicing their ignorance and become more cemented in their ignorant ways.
James is a young artist. Only 19. He's very extra but I do love him. John is absolutely the opposite in his energy and I agree it is so refreshing esp after a Sister video 😂
vanessa carey That's true he can be very exhausting and a little extra. He needs to calm down and focus on his opportunities before they are squandered away. This platform can be very fickle. One day u may have millions of subscribers and the next day none.
John, I have been slowly making my way through your videos and while I get some good laughs at the comment section and marvel at your diction, I have to say I am enthralled by your passion when it comes to speaking about education, politics and loving yourself. We need more people like you on this Earth. Thank you for existing (or to whomever summoned you!)
What a gentle character you are,John! Your voice, manner, demeanor,views and general aura are both understated and emphatic -a fascinating paradox.Most of all,your impeccable manners and enunciation remind one of days long gone,sadly.The days when folk dressed to enhance life as well as themselves.When principles meant something.I adore you and your channel and as a 57 year old gentlewomen I don't wear much makeup anymore so it's not for that that I tune in.You are modern yet make one yearn for the qualities we have lost.kind regards,take care,H.
I feel I am listening to an old soul. You are the embodiment of a soul that lived a thousand lives. You are wise, strong willed, self aware and genuine. However, I would not want to see you angry😜. You are a true inspiration to all of us. The black discour and the David Attenborough voice, I just cracked up laughing. You are truly one in a million. Xoxoxox
THEORY! What if John is immortal? What if what he said in one of his filum that he was using the same item since 1400 BC was actually true? Which explains his wild range of vocabulary and knowledge. And that's why he seems like a very old soul. Because I feel like I am watching a documentary about life from a hundred year old person with so much experience. Haha I know that's stupid, but wouldn't that be so awesome? By the way I love you John.
You spoke to the deepest part of my heart. The wisdom you gave in your first Q&A of letting yourself heal felt like you were talking only to me. I carry many scars already and unfortunately learned the importance of self nurturing late. I found comfort in your eyes and am grateful. May the road rise up to meet you.
John you are grace, elegance, eloquence, intelligence and beauty personified. I could listen to you endlessly. Why can’t every being be as thoughtful and kind. ❤️
