Thus_Spake_the_Nightspirit Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Actually, I made it and I let him help, but being a cat, he wants all the credit. Anyway, feedback is appreciated. :-) https://youtu.be/Pul2sUM-iO8 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troubador Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Still watching, but I couldn't keep silent. Your friend's response to you posting a critical response to a video about not putting people in boxes is to fire off a comment about "you people.." thus neatly stuffing you in a box full of people she presumably doesn't want to deal with. Well she proved your point at least... Yup you highlighted the whole self detonating aspect later on. Ignore me, carry on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thus_Spake_the_Nightspirit Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Thanks, guys! :-)That "friend" actually unfriended me and blocked me immediately after posting her comment, so unfortunately I can't share with her the video that she inspired. Her comment was extreme enough, but then she went and threw a tantrum about it, too! Some people are sooooo averse to being asked to think!

Anyway, feedback is appreciated. :-) https://youtu.be/Pul2sUM-iO8 That is false advertisement! The cat only appeared in the very end of the video! Jokes aside, that was a good analysis. Experiments show that pigeons can categorize, one of such experiments is here: http://www.pigeon.psy.tufts.edu/avc/huber/ Instead of saying "white Danes" and "non-white" or "Arab Danes", I would just say Danes when referring to "white Danes", as the ethnic Danish people are European. Or say "ethnic Danish". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or say "ethnic Danish". Heh, he was uncooperative! He was supposed to be sitting with me the whole time, but only decided to participate at the end, although I thought he did pretty well. He's a really high maintenance cat and doesn't usually agree to do anything that isn't his idea. :-p I agree with you about "Danes". I would have preferred to do that and I regret my attempt at "working with the narrative", but I decided it wasn't worth the extra hassle to re-shoot that segment. I'll try to avoid that kind of thing in future videos. It sends the wrong message.

Rventurelli Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Unboxing videos? What's that? Someone buys something (game, movie, gun, toy, etc) and makes a video of himself opening the box and making comments of where they bought it, how much it cost, how it fits in their collection and so on and so forth.

You left out the near-pornographic unpeeling of cellophane, if present. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thus_Spake_the_Nightspirit Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 I looked up a few unboxing videos and I do not understand why they are such a big thing. The boy I work with assures me they are all the rage at his school and he says he watches them all the time. He showed me a few and I was just like, why is this cool? (I was informed that I was uncool for not liking them!) So the title was not intentionally a play on that, but I'm a bit chuffed that it worked out like that, lol!

My ex-wife, showed me that there are videos of "elevator lovers". They are usually kids, and they go around looking for different types of elevators to make videos about them. My ex-wife would never compliment someone and was always looking for things to criticize on other people or ridicule. For weeks after discovering those vídeos of elevators she would be watching them while laughing at the autistic kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thus_Spake_the_Nightspirit Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Man, some people are easily entertained... I will never understand some of these things. I am totally new to YouTube in general, so I have no idea what is cool or not. Today, the kid I look after showed me some weird video of an Asian guy singing a weird song about apples and pens and it had millions of views. How do things like that get so popular???

Frederik Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Wait, did you just do the same with the facebook friend as you did with your other friend that you left a voice message for? Don’t pretend you didn’t see the unfriend coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thus_Spake_the_Nightspirit Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 I have put up a couple new videos and the latest one is an updated version of a presentation given for a workshop I ran last year under the title, "Countering Leftist Memes." Anyone wishing to run a similar workshop is free to use my video, steal my concept, or ask me for help on how to set up such a workshop. It was a two hour workshop, so obviously the speech is only a small part of it, but hopefully some people find it helpful or interesting. https://youtu.be/LijnzGq8q54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus_Spake_the_Nightspirit Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 For those who have so far enjoyed my cat's antics, in my latest video, he does a trick! The catch is, you have to suffer through 9 minutes of me talking "tolerance propaganda" on university campuses before you get to see his performance, but it is totally worth it, I promise! https://youtu.be/bL2a7zZ6avQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
American_Crow Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Great video. I enjoy the clarity with which you demonstrate that "categorization is bad" is a self-detonating statement. Thanks for putting your voice out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Wagner Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Great topic. (I subscribed!) Plz check out my video called "How to Hate Trump with Fake Photos" about media propaganda and misdirection. I think you'll really enjoy it s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
