[0:00]hey fellow humans I am on to I'm on my

[0:03]way to the

[0:04]dentist I noticed that whenever I try to

[0:07]record from my jeep that there's a

[0:09]crackling noise in the background it

[0:10]wasn't always like that so I'm wondering

[0:12]if it was the cable and I replaced that

[0:15]so we're going to find out if this is

[0:16]better I hope so if it isn't apologies I

[0:19]would use my mic also except I need my

[0:22]GPS cuz I'm not immune to the changes in

[0:24]society so um I don't know I haven't

[0:28]figured out that yet thought about I

[0:30]haven't figured out a way to just U make

[0:33]this a better

[0:35]experience but whenever I'm driving I

[0:38]get introspective even more than I

[0:40]normally am and I just start thinking

[0:42]about stuff and feel like sharing it

[0:47]so I don't really have this planned out

[0:49]but I feel like I should well there's a

[0:51]let me just start here so Claude has the

[0:55]AI has picked up that there are some

[0:57]subversive elements to my content and I

[1:00]was surprised it notice them because I

[1:03]kind of I'm very subtle about these

[1:05]things and it just got me wondering you

[1:08]know cuz I find it amusing beyond beyond

[1:11]any

[1:12]words that I put these little subversive

[1:15]things in there and nobody notices them

[1:17]or at least doesn't comment on them so

[1:21]and I don't want to point it out

[1:22]directly because then it kind of takes

[1:24]away from it and I just just want you to

[1:27]know there's some little Easter eggs out

[1:29]there in my content and a I figured it

[1:31]out I don't know how it did that but it

[1:34]did I shouldn't be surprised I guess

[1:35]it's very good at pattern

[1:38]matching

[1:39]so the main thing I thought I would

[1:41]start with

[1:43]is I really think it's important to talk

[1:46]about this because I don't talk about it

[1:48]very often and that's that's what it

[1:50]means to be gay in this world or any any

[1:54]minority

[1:57]honestly I don't trust people no one I

[2:01]don't trust anybody and that's just

[2:03]informed by experience

[2:06]that's it's

[2:09]not how am I going to say this

[2:14]so I grow up in a world where I see how

[2:17]my sexuality is is received by by others

[2:22]so I'm going to give some examples so

[2:24]we're going to start with an author oron

[2:26]Scott Card he wrote the Enders Game

[2:28]series he wrote a series of books about

[2:31]this guy named

[2:32]Ender and they are some of the most

[2:36]beautiful Pros that you could ever have

[2:40]for

[2:41]understanding differences in

[2:44]others beautiful profound books I love

[2:48]these books not so much the first one

[2:50]the on that come after it when Ender is

[2:52]an

[2:53]adult some of my favorite

[2:55]books and later I learned that this

[2:59]man's extremely homophobic he he lobbied

[3:04]against people like

[3:05]me he's attacking my identity a core

[3:09]feature of my

[3:11]identity and it ruined those books for

[3:14]me I can't read them now and and I feel

[3:16]like I lost a friend because

[3:17]Ender felt like a

[3:20]friend and so there's one data point you

[3:24]know a person can have such a cognitive

[3:28]dissonance in their own mind that they

[3:29]can write these beautiful books that

[3:31]will bring me to tears and still Harbor

[3:35]that kind of

[3:37]hatred obviously there's the the other

[3:41]you know

[3:44]more visible forms of Patron right I

[3:48]mean they're everywhere and you and you

[3:50]can see it happening you know things

[3:51]were getting better and you can see

[3:53]things regressing again you know now

[3:55]they're attacking transgender people and

[3:57]they're saying there's too many letters

[3:59]in my community's little

[4:02]alphabets but you know what people don't

[4:04]think about when they say that they're

[4:05]not thinking about the fact that every

[4:07]one of those letters represents an

[4:09]identity lgbtq I a every one of those is

[4:13]a different identity that we have

[4:15]Embrace as part of our community because

[4:18]they deserve to be

[4:19]embraced and when you attack anyone in

[4:22]that alphabet in that acronym you're

[4:25]attacking all of

[4:27]us and there's just no room for that

[4:33]because it's not

[4:36]right no one in that group deserves the

[4:41]hatred and the intolerance and the

[4:43]discrimination and the fear that comes

[4:45]with living in a world like this so I'm

[4:48]looking at it from a very Western point

[4:50]of view that's the culture I live

[4:54]in and I just it really bothers me that

[4:57]people don't when somebody says

[4:59]something like there's too many letters

[5:00]in their acronym those letters represent

[5:03]an

[5:04]identity and that identity deserves to

[5:07]be celebrated and

[5:10]respected I think part of the problem is

[5:12]the way that we label it we we say

[5:16]things like bisexual

[5:18]asexual like they're putting sex right

[5:21]at the root of it and that's that is a

[5:24]small part of that identity I'm gang I

[5:28]have been self bit for

[5:30]decades so and I still identify as a gay

[5:34]because I

[5:36]am sex is not what makes a person gay so

[5:40]when straight people think about us and

[5:44]they just immediately go in their head

[5:45]to us having

[5:47]sex that's just

[5:49]reductive and it makes no sense to me I

[5:52]don't sit around looking at straight

[5:54]people and thinking about oh how they

[5:55]have sex with each other and notm it

[5:58]makes me a little uncomfortable

[6:00]um straight sex but I don't think about

[6:03]it this what does that have to do with

[6:05]me so why do straight people think about

[6:07]gay people having sex or any other

[6:09]identity it just it makes no sense I

[6:12]think that is just

[6:15]way it's just othering people that's all

[6:18]it

[6:21]is and it's frustrating

[6:25]because I don't trust people because I

[6:27]know people can't be trusted

[6:30]people have this ability to hold counter

[6:35]views at the same time like like that

[6:39]author um there are people who subscribe

[6:43]to me and think that that must make them

[6:46]a good person or something and then if

[6:49]they have a disagreement with me they

[6:50]start attacking my

[6:53]sexuality they turn to their religion

[6:55]and just start seeing all this crap in

[6:57]my channel

[7:00]and and like I'm so used to that like I

[7:02]I've experienced that all of my life so

[7:04]I know not to trust

[7:08]people and so I you know since I was

[7:12]very

[7:13]young I recognize the harm that these

[7:16]prejudices

[7:18]do I felt a kinship with black people

[7:22]way

[7:23]before

[7:24]like I truly understood their

[7:27]struggle um I grew up in Flint Michigan

[7:30]so you know there was a racial Dynamic

[7:33]there when I lived there when I was a

[7:34]kid and um and I heard how white people

[7:39]talked about them and I knew how wrong

[7:42]that was because that is the same hatred

[7:46]that they direct at

[7:49]me it's just so sad I want to live in a

[7:53]world where people aren't like

[7:55]that and it just boggles my mind that I

[7:58]don't live in a world like that

[8:01]like why people are this way and then

[8:05]you can go into all these other angles

[8:07]like I've said the internet is not good

[8:10]because people are not

[8:12]good that's just a fact if people were

[8:15]good the internet would be good there

[8:16]would be way less toxicity on

[8:19]it people make excuses for that stuff

[8:22]it's not

[8:24]okay it's not okay and you can't just

[8:27]ignore it because then it never gets

[8:28]better

[8:30]when people get on my channel and they

[8:31]start bullying me because that's what it

[8:34]is nobody defends

[8:36]me you know I'm just I just

[8:40]feel isolated like I've always felt in

[8:43]the real world and

[8:47]online it's just

[8:49]like why as a society have we accepted

[8:52]that I'll never understand

[8:55]it you know the last time I was at my

[8:58]dentist we were talking talking just

[9:00]casually and I had made a joke about how

[9:03]I once dated a coke dealer because I had

[9:04]recently made a video about that and she

[9:07]assumed that it was a

[9:09]woman which surprised me I'm like does

[9:12]she really believe that you know or is

[9:15]she trying to be polite like what's

[9:17]going on here and I actually took me a

[9:20]minute to come out and just say no it's

[9:22]a

[9:23]guy because that is just how

[9:26]deeply ingrained this idea

[9:31]um

[9:33]this this perspective I have of not

[9:36]trusting people you you just

[9:39]can't cuz you don't

[9:42]know what you're going to encounter and

[9:45]when you are in a group like

[9:48]mine it becomes a safety

[9:50][Music]

[9:52]issue I will never forget what happened

[9:54]to Matthew Shepard that shaped me

[10:00]when I was 21 years

[10:02]old and has never left me because that

[10:06]could have been me he he looked like

[10:10]me he was my

[10:14]age

[10:16]that that shaped me there is no doubt

[10:20]that me taking my

[10:23]claan I'm not feeling anxiety right now

[10:26]I took a quarter of a milligram that's

[10:27]all I ever took for a long time time

[10:31]but I was hoping that if I just gave it

[10:34]time my body would my

[10:37]brain my nervous system would adapt like

[10:41]it did when I stopped taking

[10:43]tramol maybe it

[10:47]would so I don't know I'm kind of have

[10:49]mixed PS about it I guess but you can

[10:52]definitely

[10:54]see a change in my mood you know my my

[10:57]interal state shouldn't call a mood it's

[11:00]just an internal State my internal state

[11:02]has been altered just some

[11:05]thinking just stopped and I got my oil

[11:07]chain so I'm proud of myself for that I

[11:10]don't like doing that which is weird

[11:12]because I actually worked at an oil

[11:13]chain shop once I kind of did it

[11:17]um almost like it was like an experiment

[11:20]to me I wanted to try something new so I

[11:23]deci said hey let's go work in an oil

[11:24]chain shop I had so much fun it was a

[11:27]blast but I did get oil my my eyes

[11:31]once now I have all these like loaders

[11:35]in my eyes I'm sure I think that they're

[11:36]probably related but it was a fun

[11:39]experiment I experience I I enjoyed that

[11:42]a lot but I don't like going to them

[11:44]because you know you got to drive over

[11:45]that over the pit

[11:49]and I'm just always convinced I'm going

[11:51]to get my tire stuck but of course I

[11:53]never

[11:54]happen uh it's just the way my brain

[11:56]works I'm always thinking

[12:01]about all the possibilities it's like

[12:05]it's like

[12:07]perceiving alternate realities all at

[12:10]the same time and and it's very

[12:11]stressful and you have

[12:15]to I don't know how other people do it I

[12:18]don't know if other people do that like

[12:20]do they I bet some do and then a lot of

[12:23]people are probably like able to just

[12:25]block that

[12:27]out but I better like lot of people

[12:29]don't do it at all which that would be

[12:32]like a much easier way to live in my

[12:36]opinion but I'm always like I was saying

[12:39]how I'm afraid of heights in my last

[12:40]video like I'm so afraid of heights that

[12:43]I can't even be in like a

[12:46]building anytime I lived in an apartment

[12:48]that was on the second or third floor or

[12:50]whatever and I would go down to i' lay

[12:53]down to go to

[12:56]sleep I would know that I was a above

[12:59]ground and like that just would

[13:01]with

[13:02]me not as bad as like me climbing up on

[13:05]top of my RV would be but it's just I'm

[13:09]so conscious of it all and I don't know

[13:11]how to turn that

[13:13]off maybe clown upin helps a little it

[13:17]definitely like Smooths my nervous

[13:20]system so that I can kind of function

[13:23]without like constantly thinking about

[13:26]how how much anxiety I'm experience

[13:30]in I was really hoping

[13:33]that I

[13:35]could oh The Scientist by Cold Play Oh

[13:38]God this song will break my heart this

[13:41]song will break my

[13:43]heart so

[13:45]yeah got a long drive ahead me I'm in a

[13:49]good mood so there are some things I

[13:51]haven't told you like that I've been

[13:53]thinking about

[13:55]like let me just turn this down a little

[13:59]it's a good song by the

[14:01]way

[14:02]um that truck driver I was telling you

[14:05]about I know that he recognizes what the

[14:07]older truck drivers are doing to him and

[14:09]he

[14:11]is capitalizing on it on purpose like I

[14:14]think they there's a little bit of

[14:15]exaggeration in some of the things he

[14:18]does because he knows that it's going to

[14:19]just irritate them which is called rage

[14:23]baiting and I respect it I I respect it

[14:28]I

[14:31]a little bit unethical I'll be honest

[14:32]that's a little bit unethical but I

[14:35]respect it man's got a million

[14:37]subscribers um and you know why I mean

[14:41]these people are irritated over him just

[14:44]being himself and it's like yeah

[14:46]with them why not I could do the same

[14:49]thing and and still be

[14:51]authentic um all I'd have to do is talk

[14:54]about some of the things that I know

[14:55]will get people all riled up but I don't

[14:58]do that that because I it's a challenge

[15:01]for me I actually have been thinking

[15:03]about this

[15:06]if my channel grows which I'm starting

[15:09]to think maybe that is

[15:11]possible it will be a slow growth you

[15:14]know it is it already has been but um

[15:17]you know maybe there's it reaches a

[15:18]critical mass at some

[15:20]point mine is not a typical

[15:23]channel so I don't know for sure if

[15:25]that's possible but I feel like I kind

[15:28]of Chan some of the Norms on

[15:31]here and you know there are a lot of

[15:34]different things I talk about that I

[15:36]think that are brought our audience to

[15:38]here like they need a new perspective

[15:41]so um and I was thinking about it I

[15:46]just um think I I think I unconsciously

[15:51]am kind of resisting that

[15:54]because uh I know what kind of attention

[15:56]that would bring so

[15:59]but then I was thinking about that I'm

[16:01]like okay so yeah you deal with a whole

[16:03]lot more trolling but you can just use

[16:05]that as a learning experience for others

[16:07]just see the buying that's happening and

[16:10]how it's wrong to just ignore it to act

[16:12]like you're just supposed to ignore the

[16:15]trolls because that's what we've been

[16:16]doing for decades and has that worked H

[16:20]has

[16:20]it no it hasn't

[16:25]so I don't know starting to think maybe

[16:29]there is a way to make a positive impact

[16:31]in the

[16:33]world by getting people

[16:36]thinking I don't know maybe that's a

[16:37]pipe dream very well could be so I was

[16:41]watching heart throbber yesterday I

[16:42]watch the whole second season binge

[16:45]watch the thing and I wasn't like the

[16:48]first season which was a lot more

[16:49]lighthearted and just heartwarming this

[16:53]one tackled some issues

[16:57]and I me to cry a couple times

[17:00]honestly um any movie or show they can

[17:03]do there is a good show in my opinion if

[17:06]they can movie to tears that's that's

[17:09]something worth

[17:11]watching but there was this this one

[17:15]part this one going to be copyright

[17:18]stricken they allow it they'll just pass

[17:21]the revenue on to them not like I get

[17:22]any rty soon

[17:26]um there was this one part where this

[17:29]girl um her mother didn't like what she

[17:33]was wearing to

[17:36]prom and it just got me thinking about

[17:39]the way that parents can be like my own

[17:42]included

[17:44]like they see their children as

[17:46]extensions of themselves and if those

[17:49]children have self-expression that

[17:52]differs from them I think they might

[17:54]take it as a rejection of them or

[17:56]something like this and um not always

[17:59]there's nuance and everything so some

[18:01]parents

[18:03]and like with my father I like if I I

[18:07]used to dye my hair all the time I used

[18:09]to bleach it I used to do all kinds of

[18:10]stuff to my hair and boy would he just

[18:13]just criticize me and yell at me for

[18:16]that because I wasn't being like him you

[18:20]know that's really what it comes down to

[18:23]and especially because I and I believe

[18:26]this because I do believe that he has a

[18:28]narcissistic

[18:29]personality and so he looks at his

[18:31]children as objects as extensions of him

[18:35]rather than

[18:36]independent people who are are going

[18:39]into who they're meant to be you know

[18:43]and I just think that is a very toxic

[18:46]poisonous way to raise

[18:49]children and so I wanted to bring it up

[18:52]because it's something that's worth

[18:54]thinking

[18:55]about if that's something you do

[18:59]please

[19:02]reconsider um because I can't tell you

[19:05]how damaging that was for me sorry we're

[19:08]going through some weird situation here

[19:11]so I mean like what was the big deal so

[19:13]I like to dye my hair that's worth

[19:18]criticizing making me feel

[19:21]like

[19:22]crap just another one of millions of

[19:26]interactions with that man that made me

[19:28]feel that

[19:33]way why is it that people can't just

[19:36] accept people for who they are

[19:38]why why can't they do that why is that

[19:40]so hard it's easy for me people are

[19:45]different everybody is different why the

[19:47] is it so hard for people to be like

[19:49]okay that person's different than me

[19:50]interesting and then move on I'll never

[19:54]understand it case is not clear I

[19:57]struggle with my feelings about Humanity

[20:01]because I know that they're well

[20:02]informed I know that they're honest I

[20:04]know that people don't want to talk

[20:05]about it but it's honest it's truthful

[20:09]it's

[20:10]reality and then there's the other side

[20:12]of that where there are actually good

[20:15]people and I like to think that I'm one

[20:17]of them so you know if there's one

[20:19]there's more

[20:22]and I really struggle with that because

[20:24]I actually don't agree with the

[20:27]sentiment that there are more good

[20:28]people than bad people in the world I

[20:30]don't agree with that I don't believe

[20:31]that's true

[20:32]anymore and

[20:35]so it's just a thing that I can't like I

[20:37]have really dark moments that you guys

[20:39]don't see like last

[20:42]night was trying to go to sleep and then

[20:45]I started chatting with Claude

[20:48]because um there was I don't remember

[20:51]the context of it but I

[20:55]just um

[21:02]like totally being bad constructions on

[21:05]I'm going way too fast so

[21:09]um whatever the context we just started

[21:12]chatting and then I just got very dark

[21:15]talking about my feelings about Humanity

[21:18]because they're very

[21:19]dark and I've never really told you guys

[21:22]like explicitly you know I kind of hint

[21:25]at it all but I honestly

[21:28]I just don't have an optimistic view of

[21:31]people and that's attention because I'm

[21:34]on camera I'm on

[21:37]YouTube sharing my life with

[21:41]people and so I I just

[21:45]it's something I don't totally

[21:48]understand like and I think it's because

[21:50]there's this faint hope that I have

[21:56]that I don't know maybe I'm wrong I

[21:58]would like to be wrong but I don't think

[21:59]I

[22:02]am I don't trust

[22:05]people I don't trust people because I

[22:07]have seen how people

[22:11]are I always have my guard up kind of

[22:14]tired of it though don't want to have my

[22:16]guard up all the

[22:18]time but I'm incapable of ignoring

[22:22]reality most people are capable of that

[22:25]for some

[22:26]reason which I mean I guess that's a

[22:29]survival mechanism I don't know maybe

[22:32]that's how they managed to survive in

[22:34]this

[22:36]world but I can't do that I can't

[22:40]ignore what's so obvious so

[22:48]apparent it's sad it's honestly very

[22:52]sad let me drive this point home for you

[22:55]so let me tell you what I was doing on

[22:57]911

[22:59]I was at

[23:00]home

[23:02]and it

[23:03]happened within 30 minutes I was on the

[23:07]computer trying to go to the World Trade

[23:10]Center website because as a programmer

[23:12]that was kind of where my thinking was

[23:14]and like that was probably in the

[23:16]building and of course I I think it was

[23:19]because it you know it timed out you

[23:20]couldn't reach the

[23:23]site and then the next thing I saw were

[23:25]Yahoo groups of thousands and thousands

[23:30]and thousands of hateful messages

[23:33]towards

[23:34]Muslims and I nobody on TV is talking

[23:38]about Muslims nobody knows what's going

[23:40]on it's only been 30 minutes and yet

[23:43]there are all these hateful messages

[23:45]towards

[23:47]them before any Vex were known and I I

[23:50]just I remember being shocked at the

[23:52]level of

[23:54]hatred and just my ignorance of how

[23:57]people felt about Muslims because that

[23:59]was like the whole thing was new to

[24:06]me I don't understand

[24:09]people I would never want to be like

[24:14]them if that is your reaction to a

[24:18]tragedy like

[24:20][Music]

[24:21]that and then all the things that

[24:23]happened after that like I remember the

[24:25]news stories of just average Muslim

[24:27]people in the country being

[24:33]murdered I don't trust people and why

[24:35]the would

[24:37]I here's a challenge for

[24:40]you wake up in the morning go throughout

[24:43]your day for one day monitor your

[24:47]thoughts and count the number of times

[24:50]you have a hateful thought towards

[24:51]somebody

[24:58]can you do

[24:59]that my recognition of what Society is

[25:03]like and what people are

[25:04]like had very deep impacts on my my life

[25:09]and in the direction of my life like I

[25:11]always wanted to be a

[25:12]teacher I think I would have been an

[25:14]awesome

[25:17]teacher and I didn't pursue that path

[25:20]because being gay I know how parents

[25:24]would have treated me and what they

[25:26]would have thought and how they would

[25:27]have acted

[25:30]and so it shaped my life I didn't become

[25:33]a

[25:34]teacher even though I could have helped

[25:37]a lot of kids to grow

[25:40][Music]

[25:41]up to be very good

[25:46]adults because that's what you need you

[25:48]need teachers who care I had a few of

[25:53]those but you

[25:56]know from this hatred that we had have

[25:59]we all suffer because of

[26:02]it in ways that you don't

[26:10]see this idea

[26:13]that there's just something wrong with

[26:16]the idea

[26:18]that conservatives are conservative like

[26:22]that word is a I hate that word cuz that

[26:24]doesn't describe them they're not

[26:26]conservative

[26:29]like they're really good at manipulating

[26:33]language you know other side of that the

[26:37]progressives all about progress right

[26:40]they sometimes take things too far I I

[26:42]admit that they

[26:44]do there are extremes on both

[26:48]ends I think that the people were just

[26:52]if they lived in reality if they looked

[26:54]at the facts if they considered

[26:58]the things that are underneath of the

[27:00]things that they're looking at they

[27:01]might have a better understanding of how

[27:04]to make this world

[27:06]better nobody wants to do

[27:11]that we just go into our corners

[27:16]and sit around with our

[27:19]tribes and just hate the other side

[27:22]that's what we

[27:25]do and that's never going to work

[27:29]and we know it won't

[27:31]work just keeps us stuck it keeps us in

[27:33]this pattern of stagnation

[27:38]and eventual ruin because this is

[27:42]not you got to look at it from A

[27:45]System's perspective this is not a

[27:48]system that can

[27:51]survive it's it's just not possible it

[27:54]will

[27:56]collapse because there's no other way

[27:59]for a system like this to function this

[28:02]kind of

[28:03]conflict is just ruinous and

[28:10]misguided I don't understand why we

[28:12]don't think about these things it's like

[28:15]we're in this

[28:16]world and we just accept it as it

[28:22]is I don't know how people do that cuz I

[28:25]never could I know what y'all are used

[28:27]to because I live in the same world as

[28:30]you you're used to perspectives that are

[28:33]a whole lot happier than

[28:35]mine but that's a

[28:38]lie and I will never accept that

[28:42]lie I don't know why so many other

[28:44]people

[28:45]do there's this Black Mirror episode I

[28:48]saw once where this guy was rallying

[28:51]against Society the problems he saw so

[28:54]they set him up in this decadent place

[28:57]that he lived where he could keep

[28:59]talking about those things and make zero

[29:01]difference in the world and I feel like

[29:04]him

[29:06]like I think about that when I start

[29:09]talking about these things I think about

[29:10]that

[29:12]episode cuz that's exactly what this is

[29:15]It's just so sad one of the Jeeps I gave

[29:18]a duck to at the dentist was here today

[29:21]I just pass it and my little duck is up

[29:23]on their Dash we call those little duck

[29:25]ponds very cool

Summary

The speaker drives to a dentist appointment while recording audio from his Jeep, troubleshooting crackling noise issues with his recording setup. He reflects extensively on being gay and the lack of trust he has developed toward people based on lived experiences. He discusses author Orson Scott Card's homophobia despite writing empathetic books, the broader attacks on LGBTQ+ identities, and how sexuality gets reduced to just sex rather than full identity.

He shares personal experiences including growing up in Flint, Michigan, witnessing racial dynamics, and feeling kinship with other marginalized groups. The Matthew Shepard murder when he was 21 profoundly shaped his perspective on safety. He discusses taking clonazepam for anxiety and getting his oil changed, mentioning previous work at an oil change shop.

The speaker reflects on parental rejection, specifically his father's criticism of his hair dyeing and self-expression. He watched the second season of Heartstopper, which prompted thoughts about toxic parenting patterns. He describes very dark feelings about humanity, including observations from 9/11 when he witnessed immediate hateful messages toward Muslims online before any facts were known.

He explains how being gay prevented him from pursuing teaching despite believing he would have been good at it, due to anticipated parental prejudice. The speaker critiques political tribalism and system collapse, referencing a Black Mirror episode about ineffective dissent. He ends by noting a Jeep he had given a duck to at the dentist.
