When I run into this video, I thought they were making a bit, then they doubled and tripled down on this shit take.
modern society causes autism, autism is just what happens to your brain when you grow up without going outside or having friends you watch cartoons like my little pony friendship is magic and go into Google at 12 and find pornography of it your brain chemistry is rewired and the rest of your life your drawing imitations of the stuff that you saw imprinted on to your mind as a child. I think that autism is caused by environmental factors."
Vaush unironically thinks you can exercise your way out of ASD and ADHD.
I don’t follow Vaush but his videos pop-up into my recommendations now and then so I might play them as background noise when gaming sometimes. Today I find out that’s they’re just like Musk in this regard; they sound knowledgeable on subjects I personally don’t know much about (US politics), but when they decide to be confidently utterly wrong about things I know about, that’s when I know they’ve been full of shit on everything.
Holy shit that take was legit infuriating.
You’re talking about memes. Not mental diseases. No mental diseases don’t spread online and racism isn’t a mental disease.
Racism is narcissism, paranoia and political ambitions in a trenchcoat. So yeah, it is largely about mental disease - which is why people who are racist should be disqualified from office.
But other racists don’t want that to be the case, because the animal pack instinct, the tribal instinct, the “us vs them” instinct is triggered and blood thirst must be satiated, enemies defeated, etc - because humans in general suck.
You don’t let mentally unstable people yield power, unless you manage to legitimize the disease, which is what politicians, monarchs and aristocrats and now oligarchs have been doing for - oh I don’t know, thousands of years?
Also, you deleted my post with no warning or direct messaging? Wow. Just wow.
I guess we can add mods to the list as well.
I can’t thank you enough. I was firing up like 5 tabs to begin an extensively documented and time wasting reply when I saw you removed it.
You just saved my whole morning and I appreciate it.
E: Have to remember to not be looking at social media when the meds kick in. “Already be doing the thing you want to be doing.”
…I wish you well, but you need to get off the internet for a while. A social media detox is direly needed.
I don’t take medical advice from random strangers who know nothing about me.
