the thing that actually scares me about the apple vision pro is that it becomes mandatory the same way smartphones have become mandatory. Nowdays you cannot be a member of society without a smartphone, you need it to keep up with current events, school, social life and work. I very much hate that my employers feel entitled to contact me outside of work hours just because the technology to do so exists, and you have to eat up hundreds of ads while doing all of that. Imagine your whole sphere of vision being covered by work assignments and ads and institutions expecting you to be glued to that all day.
@@ashleybanks-wm4cg nope, not yet at least. This is just the first iteration of the "vision" model, wait till it's at it's 5th, 10th or 20th version. I bet someone develops a game that can be integrated with "real world" surroundings and virtual enemies like zombie apocalypses, alien invasions or conventional war zones in the army, navy or air force. Shit, even a ghost hunting and horror games would be fun with those systems...they would actually be scary! I'm not a fan of apple products tho, so they would have to make a superior product for me to buy their version, especially over $1000!?
The scary part is some laugh tracks are so well hidden now you cannot even tell the difference between real or fake laughs. WWE showcased realistic crowd sound tracks that sound super real and react to the wrestling match. I do believe its A.I. generated.
Exactly have it live. They act like people don't wanna go to a live taping of a show like it would be hard somehow instead they got lazy and literally rolled with it.
The Twomad we saw in the last year of his life was definitely not the normal Twomad that everyone originally knew and loved. The drugs completely destroyed him and its sad to see his downfall. 23 is no age to die
that's not how it goes... people who knew him only online had a parasocial view of him. people turn to substance abuse because of internal struggles. many healthy happy people use all sorts of things... it isn't the stuff that destroys you it's how and why it's used and what struggles you hide behind a happy face. im in my 30s and have lost multiple friends to various things and quit a bunch of things myself over the past few years, it's awful. i also know people who do all the same stuff those friends did who are phds with happy promising lives. behind every story of addiction there's the sign of society failing a person in need of help
@@redwiltshire1816 Yep that's what happened to me and several of my friends who are no longer alive. I escaped that life by finding what self worth I could muster then focusing on flourishing that self worth into something I could use as a foundation to build upon. With that foundation I sought out healthy communities of friends and lovers who in turn helped that self worth go from a dying seed to a promising sprout to a slowing flowering "me" I can be proud of and be appreciated for being... that gives this new me the motivation to seek a purpose in life while accepting the traumas I've been through like watching my best friend get unplugged surrounded by crying family and friends as his bloated brain dead body let loose invoulentary tears, seeing friends who had given up motionless in bathtubs that were permanently stained red from the cuts, watching promising young men and women go from top of their class to panhandling for another hit. None of us turned to such a life because it was what we wanted it took over due to terrible mental health services, wealth/opportunity inequality, hypocritical laws, a society without many healthy philosophical paths in the face of increasing nihilism and bleak future predictions from housing prices/wage stagnation (while wealth at the top increases) to climate change and more. All the same like I said in my life now the people who I know who are happiest, the most successful, unique and insightful do the most substances from C to H to K to cid and the plethora of Saint Alexander Shulgin's TIHKALs and PIHKALs but they don't become junks they do it when it's biologically, socially and psychologically safe to explore. One friend helped design the spike protein tech for the mRNA vaccines and his side research is the neurology of psychedelia especially the mechanism of the 5-HT2A receptor. Others followed Shulgin's path and work with RCs. Others are working on quantum pharmacology. I think folk like Robert Anton Wilson and Leary are decent reads for how and why some people can harness substances while others get wreaked by them. Leary's experiment with prisoners is especially fascinating and has been replicated: no other scientist has gotten so many prisoners to not become reoffenders. How? Psychedelic therapy, facing dark emotions with the help of others. It's a mix of genetics, society, circumstance and psychology whether you struggle with over using these things but careful use can work wonders.. its just a delicate and controversial line of therapy.. for now. Writing this in a rush. May edit later.
Honestly Valis, the TwoMad section of the video was incredible. Super concise and well stated with info I haven't heard yet. There might be a significantly easier goldmine of you covering some darker RU-vid drama like the stuff with ChrisChan and whatnot along with the amazing videos you make now. I'm here for it all.
When I was a kid, the laugh track on MASH tripped me out. I was like, "Where are these people who are laughing? I thought they were in Korea!" It makes sense, though. It was hard to know where the jokes were in that show.
@@CooperMarketingUnlimitedI was just about to say about mash! The laugh track on that show is always SO out of place, sometimes it’s there on a funny part , sometimes not. So weird
The show had a rule of no laugh tracks in the operating room. I thought that was nice. Then on the DVDs they removed the laugh track. Or they had an option to remove it. Something like that.
@@kalissaisreallycoolhi guys. Just wanted to share this with y'all. Book of Valis gets their name from a Philip K. Dick novel called VALIS. VALIS is an acrostic which stands for Vast Active Living Intelligence System. Sorry if I come off "um actually" but I think the name is pretty cool and had to share. 👍🏾
@@LounBageenit's not about being aware. I really like the concept and was hoping to share that feeling with others... Very surprised by the negativity my comment has received. It's not easy to share knowledge without sounding like a know it all, I didn't mean to come off like that. Sorry if it struck you in that way. Hope your feeling better.
Im 100% against the commercialization of AR. The only applications of AR should be like specific medical uses (like guiding small cameras), rescue services (specifically robotic ones) and maybe gaming. But i will never buy a headset to interact with other people
I think it's kinda nuts that people take ketamine outside of a medical setting. I do Ketamine infusions, and I completely lose touch with reality. There are times when I forget that I'm human and don't realize I have a body. I had no name, no individuality, and no connection to the physical world at all. I was one with the universe and came back convinced that I had met God. That stuff is no joke. Taking it on your own is ballsy AF.
@@thelongestdongrod190 When you're on fent you lean HARD, any dose over the threshold will make those knees buckle. I was addicted to fent for close to 8 years, I can spot it a mile away.
The laugh track thing isn't brainwashing, it's just the style in which that sort of comedy is written. It's why it's so awkward to listen to a stand up comedian bomb, it's not just the jokes are unfunny, it's that they deliberately leave space for people to laugh so it doesn't drown out the start of the next joke. It's like saying that there's a conspiracy to brainwash people with textbooks because they're written in a way that makes them easier to learn from, it's just a writing style.
The topic of lottery and gambling addiction made me emotional. It's sad to see someone gamble their money instead of using it to take care of themselves. I've seen someone resort to fraud and stealing. It's heartbreaking. Especially when they steal from people they care about. The ethics of gambling is an interesting conversation. Yes people have free will, but addictions are very hard to escape from.
The irony in the first case, thinking we're not ALL fucking slaves, but that's why poverty exists, to ensure the wage employee they're not the slave.....
The lottery one is chicken and egg. Richer people are less likely to pay for a lottery, so they’ll go where the demand is - poorer areas. It’s not that deep
Lottery/scratch-off addicts are an interesting bunch. Reminds me of a guy I used to work with who'd spend like $100 a day on tickets then act like it was a major W when he finally won $20.
@@bigpapi6688 I like his history stuff, what he needs to steer clear from is stuff like his blood meridian video where it takes him 5 hours to come to the conclusion that "yeah the judge is a pretty bad guy".
With all the recent document leaks jameski is human garbage. Everything he spews is a lie. The sa was actually sw, all the "threats" were orchestrated by himself and he manipulated twomads exs into pressing charges against twomad. Still doesn't excuse the other bad things twomad did but I felt it was important to also call out jameskinwho has stayed silent since the passing of twomad
Yeah the fact that he had basically nothing to back up what he was saying and couldn't even let the body get cold put major doubt on what he was saying. Valis kind of glosses over it but really the majority of people that doubted what Jameski was saying, not just a few people. There was no reason for him to come out as quickly as he did, especially since all he has is allegations and when pressed for evidence just said "give me time", like if all he needed was time then he should have just waited. It was a pretty transparent attempt to try to poison the well because of a personal vendetta.
Hey man I know you probably won't read this but this is genuinely a fantastic video. I thought you were going down some crazy conspiracy bullshit but you presented everything well researched and consise. You're a legend ❤
My mom hit the lottery for $250,000. After taxes was $187,000. We came from rent assisted living and so once we got she bought a house and car. This was in 2015. Now, she's living in government assisted housing and has nothing to show from it. We didnt have the knowledge financially to invest it because of how we were accustomed to living on such a limited amount of money.
This is wild I just remembered Twomad and how I used to watch him and everything terrible that went down by and with him and then this video popped up with him in the thumbnail. Great video btw!
They had to give me ketamine during my c-section because I wasn't responding to the anesthesia they were using. I had to be lucid during the procedure so my husband could be in the room, so ketamine was the highest powered thing they could give me, so I assume I had a lot. I was apparently awake, but to me, I was swimming in a giant bowl of beef ramen. My husband told me I just kept talking about how much I wanted ramen and how I missed my dog. I was out of my mind. It is crazy to me that people do that recreationally.
Covid taught me that learning from home is a terrible idea. I didn’t learn shit and was depressed all the time just cuz I wasn’t learning anything and couldn’t see my friends. Sitting in front of a screen isn’t the same as being taught in person.
The lottery entry really seems like a chicken or egg situation to me. I’ll explain - I work at a pet supply store. Before opening the location I am at, we looked into the demographics of the area to see how many people own pets. Ever wonder why you don’t see many “pet” supply stores when you travel towards the Midwest? It’s cause it’s not profitable. Instead you get “feed stores” which are focused more on livestock supplies. That being said, I’m not sure which makes more sense, the lottery “targeting” poor areas, or simply the more poor areas being high consumers of lottery products so therefore more businesses are incentivized to sell those products.
I acknowledge that I am chronically online, but when I have the opportunity to not use my phone, like when I'm at home, or I am out with friends, there is nothing more important on my phone than what I am doing. I can doomscroll whenever I want but when I'm at a restaurant or walking the track at the park, why do I need to be on my phone?
i lvoe how this series draws in people with crackpot theories to then explain to them in a sane and somber manner how we are being manipulated by corporations
don't talk about laugh tracks and Seinfeld in the same sentence. Seinfeld never used laugh tracks, only using laughs captured for the actual scene on screen, while smoothing out the audio from different takes obviously. In fact, if no one in the live audience was laughing, they would rewrite the bit.
The Apple Vision Pro is something straight out of a dystopia. Reminded me so much of the AR headsets from the Smash Into Pieces Arcadia Album music videos. As much as I live my life on RU-vid, I love going out and experiencing the world irl. If they ever become mainstream, I’m going to refuse to buy one. I’d rather not live my life outside of RU-vid and video games, in an augmented reality.
I wanna connect to real people in real life. That's what's best for my healing and mental health. THe internet and socials don't actually make me feel connected, they make me often feel MORE ALONE. Now there's a whole internet of people ignoring me, and things I'm missing out on. It's actually WORSE for mental health. Hanging out with a real person in real life is where it's at. I have no interest in a sad, pathetic future where everyone stares at a fucking screen and is even more antisocial. What is the point in living when that's your life? Fuck that, fuck capitalism and tech and all this dumb shit.
As someone who does ketamine almost daily and goes on full on benders sometimes as long as 3 weeks it's strange to hear someone od'ing on it. Sure there's downsides to doing it but I don't consider dying on it a risk. At least for me I've been using it about 5 years now so idk about the long term effects. My guess is he was on other substances as well as k but to attribute it just to k is a little far fetched. Just my 2 cents
@@sleep13pr1ncess-tv6nb”I don’t not consider” = “To exclude or reject as a candidate or possibility. rule out. exclude.” You just contradict yourself because that’s exactly what you said smh 🤦♀️
It an experience is more than just seeing and hearing it. It’s about touching and standing with your feet on a mountain top. Or smelling the fresh rain of the Amazon. That’s it a real experience
I would bet money twomad was not on fentanyl especially in the video we saw. I was a heroin and fentanyl addict for 10 years and you would be nodding out most likely. Fentanyl is so strong. The way his eyes were moving also make me think he was "tripping"
There's actually a less devious explanation for the lottery/residential income graph. Most low income communities are in mixed zoning areas like inner cities or small towns. Most mid to high income housing areas are in preplanned exclusively residential zones, IE, no shops
Let's keep in mind, when we use a drug on regular/daily basis, our tolerance to that drug will increase over time. 200mgs of Ketamine is a large dose but to someone who uses it everyday, like 2mad, that was more than likely his regular dosage. Which is why he od'd and died...his tolerance was so high that he had to take over 200mgs to get the feelings he was looking for but Ketamine is a CNS depressant and it's extremely easy to overdose with on high doses.
Apple Vision Pro will fail. I like playing VR games but honestly it is a gimmick and nothing more. We have our phones which are basically micro computers and we have access to almost everything imaginable through them. I don’t think an “augmented reality” will last
I'm getting motion sickness just from the POV in the apple vision pro 🤢 I can see it being good for work situations and indoor stuff.. but using it outside is way too much. Experience life outside the way it is.. don't disconnect from reality completely.
Crazy how you said our iPhones can’t understand and give feed back on what it’s observing and now as I am typing the new iPhone 16 will be able to do that with its new Apple intelligence 💀
I love your videos but you should name this one "Twomad's drama", because more than half of this video isn't about anything else. Digging dead person's shits.
people already have a hard enough time living in the real world having to work some shitty job imagine you start just working through the apple vr thing and you just start working at home staying at home forever
Wearing headphones or a VR headset won't permanently change the shape of your skull, it creates indents but that's in the skin and muscle, not the bone. The only possible way it could effect skull shape is if it was on very tight on someone who was still growing, but they'd have to wear it literally all the time.
Minx coped with it in her own way. She only criticized Jameski for doing it too soon. She did hers later. She's a victim coping with it in different ways.
I never got AR, its pointless and dumb as hell just like VR. smart phones caught on because to some degree they have SOME practicality and are just like older cellphones with a bunch of swiss army knife features, but AR Goggles are genuinely dumb and serve no purpose. that shit is how you end up like the potato people from Wall-E.
quest 3 came out before vision pro, it's cheaper and nearly the same in things it can do, I doubt the apple vision pro will change things very much, people still use android for a reason
Especially when it costs $3500💀 and to say apple will eventually lower the price to broaden their market is crazy and absolutely against apple’s history. Maybe someday AR will come into the mainstream and wreck society, but it won’t be from apple imo

Yeah but your lottery theory is flawed because there is never a lot of retail stores in locations where there is high end real estate because their rent costs would also be very high. Retail rent costs will be lower in areas where real estate costs are lower.
Today, the smart phone. Tomorrow, the VR headset. Not long after, ZET eyes (the contact-lenses from Black Mirror.) Imagine living in a world where you can just look at people, know their life status, social-credit score, criminal background; and the same they can do to you. Ex-cons or people on probation are publically blacklisted (time depending on charge) and only show up as mosaic'd figures on mute. Might sound like a great deterrent on crime, but it creates a sterilization of human behavior and interaction. Everybody must be a tip-top model-citizen. The pressure of that factor either robs humans of their soul, or puts them in an asylum. Everyone who hasn't watched Black Mirror should. From a production standpoint most episodes aren't great, but the narratives they present are sobering.
I know this sounds so horrible LOL but I was scrolling to find an older video from the same person and I saw the AI punch that baby lmfao 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I feel like it knocked the wind out of me
From the perspective of being poor and having a father that buys scratch offs all the time, the goal is not to hit it big, even winning $100 is money he didn't have to fight for through physical labor.
The problem with stuff like augmented reality and devices like the Apple Pro shouldn't be the device or what it can do themselves, but the issues people have that would make them find solace in them, similar to how people already do that with social media, or even "more traditional" methods like substance use and etc. As long as mental health is not an actual concern and not treated with the seriousness and even urgency it needs, things will STILL (because they already are) be the same. And, to be fair, new technologies (computers, smartphones, etc) do make people socialize more, just not in the ways you'd always expect. This can be helpful for introverts as well as some people with conditions that might not let them leave the house, or people living in a different country to their native one and so their only viable way to stay in touch with old friends and family is digitally, or even to make and keep online friends (which can be just as genuine or even more than "real life" friends, and I say this partly from personal experience). Or even within your same town. As you grow older, you don't always have the time to see and hang around with old friends you know in person, but you can always keep in touch with them via calls or even videocalls and whatnot. Again, the whole problem is that people are not addressing the actual problem and blaming it on devices and whatnot (think of the "videogames make children violent" argument, i.e).
Agree on the socializing more part. Texting allows me to interact with real life friends between hangouts and that's the only way we can plan to meet up. Meanwhile I have an online friend that I chat with the most and we have discord nights together where we speak. It's really helpful if you're not in social places all the time.
