Most 'Bad Takes' Aren't Actually Bad

本站添加: 2026-05-05

[00:00:00]You have got to let people have different opinions than you. You know what I hear a lot? People have bad takes. Also, bad take. That's a horrifying take. I don't like this take.

[00:00:08]Your take is bad. No, that your opinion is bad. The opinion that this person is concocting inside of their brain is what you think is bad, which isn't true, by the way. You don't have to think that is a bad or incorrect opinion. It's just different than yours for the most part.

[00:00:21]A lot of the time, it's not even bad. A lot of most of the I say like 90% of the time is not even bad. There are things that people think that are horrifying.

[00:00:29]That is true. That is 100% true. If it's about human rights or destruction or the ruining of lives or illegal immigrants or something like that, that may be a something they believe that is horrifying, which is very specific when it comes to language. All I ever hear is that I have Oh, this take is good. Oh, this is a bad take. That's not true.

[00:00:51]It's not true. Neither of those are true. I don't have good takes or bad takes, by the way, cuz it makes it feel like I'm smarter than what I am. I'm not smart. I don't have polished speeches.

[00:01:00]Every video I've ever made is off the cuff, by the way. My raw, unfiltered thoughts are all the time what's happening here. That should be enough for you. I'm not going to lie to you.

[00:01:10]That's what If you want authentic, none of this is a take. The moment every thought needs to justify itself with some thesis statement, that's that's when everything deteriorates, because you want me to defend every single opinion I have. I'm not going to do that. I'm going to give you a bunch of opinions right now. I think olives on pizza are delicious. I think Olive Garden is the worst Italian restaurant ever. I think a lot of men are homophobic. I think that's just a a genuine thing. A lot of men A lot of men. Not all. A lot of them. I think cereal at night hits harder than breakfast. That's You I can't even prove that to you. I think silence is better than most conversations. I think people pretend to like things just to survive socially. I think songs only sound good right? Or or some songs only sound good when you're sad. And I think certain friendships expire quietly without anyone doing anything wrong, and that's okay. I think that's fine. I think most people don't actually know what they believe. They just believe what the group believes because they don't want to lose the group. They just know what they want to to be seen believing.

[00:02:09]That's what they want to do. I think cold weather makes people more honest, and I think hot weather makes people a bit more aggressive cuz they're uncomfortable and irritable. I think being early is more stressful than being late. I think dogs understand more than we give them credit for, and I think cats understand everything and choose to piss me off every single day. That's what I think. Let me give you some more.

[00:02:31]I think people fall in love with potential instead of reality. I think boredom is actually your brain begging you to change your life. I think social media has made everyone a little bit performative even when they're alone. I think laughing in in a quiet room is illegal. I think it feels illegal. Like you're breaking some unspoken rule.

[00:02:51]That's what it feels. I think some people never grow up past high school emotionally. They just get older and get better at hiding it. Uh also about the laughing thing. Picture this.

[00:03:07]See what I mean? No one's around you. It feels strange, right? Is that that doesn't feel strange? I think some people peak in moment nobody else notices. That's what I think. I think small private victories that no one applauds to are very important. I think nostalgia lies to you in a very comforting voice, and I I think time feels faster because nothing feels new anymore. That's what it is. Routine will replace discovery. That's an opinion.

[00:03:34]That's what I feel. I think people are kinder in private than they are in groups. I think most people I think most arguments are just two people refusing to feel small at the same exact time. I think movie theaters are better than streaming. I think airplane food is unfairly hated. I I enjoy airplane food quite a bit. I think waking up early is stupid. I think it just people want to feel superior about suffering. I had You know what's crazy? I'm just This is a little aside. I have tried waking up early for Oh my god, the past 8 months. I've been waking up at 7:00. I'm sleepy. I'm just tired. Nobody else is up, and I'm sleepy. So, I'm doing work, and I don't feel more productive cuz you know what's crazy? I tried to work out in the morning in the morning I tried to work out in the morning. I tried I have a gym downstairs. I tried working out in the morning. You know what happened? I didn't want to work out because I just woke up. It felt horrible. I even after I ate breakfast, I felt like garbage.

[00:04:29]So, I started working out at 4:00, feel much better. I work out 4:00 most days.

[00:04:34]It just feels better to work out at 4:00. That's usually when I get off my actual job, so that will be great. So, that's that's fun. That's fun. I I think handwriting reveals more about a person than anything else. I think the best conversations happen in cars at night, and I think the worst conversations happen in rooms where everybody pretends to be someone they're not. Usually in group settings, that's when the worst conversation happens. That's when you get the worst opinions out of people cuz it's a group mentality. You're trying to be the funniest in the room. That's what I think. I think horror movies are actually comedies if you watch them with the right people.

[00:05:09]I think that's good. I also think it's good to laugh at tragedies. I That's I think it's fun to do that. I think it's really fun to laugh at tragedies. It's super funny.

[00:05:19]A tsunami killed 5,000 people.

[00:05:22]I don't That's funny. I don't know these people.

[00:05:26]I don't know statistically like two pedophiles died. I don't know. That feels great. I don't know. That's just how I feel. That's just great. I think people who don't read are not less intelligent. I think they just haven't found the right book yet.

[00:05:37]Is that fair? I think the sound of rain is the closest thing to peace that I'll ever have. I think dancing badly in public is good. I think you should always do it. I also think if you can sing, you shouldn't go to karaoke cuz you're making it worse for everybody else cuz we go to karaoke to sing badly.

[00:05:53]That's what I think. I think if you sing good, go somewhere else, I think. Maybe there should be a good singers karaoke, I feel. But then that might create some delusional issues. Who knows? I don't care. I just don't want to go to karaoke because I feel bad when I when I have to go after somebody that sings really good. And then they they they just look at me and say, "You suck." That's a horrifying. I think there's a specific kind of loneliness that only happens in cities surrounded by people who will never know your name. I think there is a specific kind of peace that only happens in small towns. And I love that where everyone knows your name and still leaves you alone. That's good. I think weddings are very exhausting and expensive and should be destroyed and annihilated and are the worst thing to ever exist in the capitalist industry.

[00:06:36]And they suck. All weddings are bad. I think all of them are bad. And someone's going to say, "What about this wedding?

[00:06:41]My wedding?" Shut up. Anyways, I think funerals are clarifying. And both of them make you think about who you actually want to be.

[00:06:50]I think weddings and funerals are very very clarifying cuz you hear how people talk about you in your death.

[00:06:57]I think the person you are at 3:00 a.m.

[00:07:00]is more the person you want to be.

[00:07:03]It's better than the person you are at 3:00 p.m.

[00:07:06]I think microwaves are under appreciated a lot. I think this air fryer nonsense is a little stupid. I think microwaves have been with me since day one. I don't have any hate on microwaves. I think pineapples on pizza is fine and the war against it is entirely performative because people hate trying new things.

[00:07:22]The sweet and saltiness of the pineapples on pizza is outstanding. You can even throw some jalapeños on there if you want. It's your life. I'm just living in it. I think every food opinion, all of them, every single food opinion on Earth is specifically tied to the specific person. If I made an ice cream tier list, you're obviously not going to agree with it. I'm I'm to put vanilla in S tier and vanilla bean in C tier. And you're going to say they're both vanilla. I don't like the bean part is what I don't like. I don't like I don't like thinking about jelly beans.

[00:07:49]It's completely arbitrary. I just had some purple cow ice cream yesterday and it had strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry all put together. It was really cool. I like that. I think it's fine. That's really fun. I I think elevators are awkward by design and I think stairs are underrated as a form of thinking because you're thinking a lot on those stairs. You're thinking why did you choose to go up these stairs? I think people who hate on pop music are just insecure about liking things that are popular cuz pop music goes crazy. All pop music is good. I like Taylor Swift by the way. Really good. I can name more Taylor Swift songs than I can name Jay-Z songs.

[00:08:28]Think about that for a second. I should know more Jay-Z songs. I can't name a single album by Jay-Z, but I can think of like 20 Taylor Swift song. Bad Blood goes crazy.

[00:08:37]Romeo and Juliet, that goes crazy goes nuts too.

[00:08:41]Taylor Swift is a good singer. I don't know what to tell you. I'm not a Swifty or wildly obsessed with her. I think she is very very white girl music as a core concept, but she is a good musician.

[00:08:51]She's a bad person, but she got good music, I think. That's fun. That's fine.

[00:08:55]I think I can listen to her. I think people who only listen to obscure music are just insecure in the opposite direction of what I just said. That's the opposite direction. They just want to feel different. It's You ever have a friend?

[00:09:07]And I have a friend like this and he pisses me off all the time. You ever have a friend who could have made it big? He could have done something big with his life, right? But chose to be underground because he didn't want to sell out. When if he did sell out, got that big people eyes on him, and then focus on what he wanted to do, he'd be much more successful. He would have gotten the million eyes on him, weeded those people out, and then got to the 50,000 that actually care about him.

[00:09:31]That's what I did. I got really big on here, and then I got the few thousand people that cared about me, and now I feel a lot better. And I I'm going to keep doing it. I'm going to do a big opinion, whittle it out. Big opinion, whittle it out. But they're opinions.

[00:09:45]Opinions. I think the best art comes from people who are not trying to make art. That's what I think. I think they were just trying to survive and something beautiful came out anyway. I think that's the important part about art. That's what I think. That's what I think. I think most fashion is just expensive costumes people feel they wear like a version of themselves that doesn't exist yet. That's what I think about fashion overall. I think people who say money doesn't matter have never truly been broke. And people who say money is have is everything have never truly been loved. And both exist at the same exact time. Those are my opinions.

[00:10:22]None of that needs any data to be defended with or sources or three-point breakdown with supporting evidence.

[00:10:29]Those are not takes.

[00:10:31]Those are opinions that came from living.

[00:10:34]I've been in rooms of ate bad food. I've heard weird conversations. I I am friends with horrible, evil, disgusting, misogynistic, homophobic people. And it's not because I myself am those things. I just find those people funny.

[00:10:47]And I like laughing.

[00:10:49]That's it. That's really it. There's no deeper meaning. Well, you must hold some of those beliefs. We never talk about their beliefs. And I've never And this is so important. I've never had a conversation with somebody about their beliefs. Most of the time, it's not something that comes up. I'm friends with people I've known for years and I'm just now discovering their beliefs cuz they told me about them. I didn't know about that for 7 years, but I have so much history with this person. I'm not trading all this history in cuz that's stupid. That's dumb. Time is the only resource I don't get back. Find new friends. I'm not learning your favorite color again with someone new. This guy's favorite color is chartreuse. I know that because that's my goat. I love him.

[00:11:26]We had a 10-hour conversation about vermilion and how vermilion should be should be green cuz vermilion the V in green verde that just makes sense.

[00:11:34]Friday is green. It just makes sense to us. We Spanish conversation. That's how we are. I've had weird conversations. I felt uncomfortable, and I tried to make sense about being uncomfortable a lot later. This kind of information and knowledge doesn't show up in charts. I'm going to make a video one day called black men are are conservative. It's going to be the whole title, black men are conservative. That's it. It's a general statement. It's going to be clickbaiting. You're going to be pissed at it. You're going to say, "I'm a black man. I'm not conservative." Cool.

[00:11:59]Whatever. And I'm going to start the video saying exactly this. Now, this is a general statement. I think most black men are conservative. And no one's going to watch the first 4 seconds of the video, cuz they want to get their opinion out before they even listen anything, because people care about their opinion more than anything. And I care about my opinion more than I care about you.

[00:12:19]That's how I feel. That's the reality of it. The same way you comment before you watch the video is how I feel about my opinions. The issue is that people do not want opinions anymore. They want takes. They want everything sharpened into something that sounds intelligent enough to survive a comment section.

[00:12:36]Something that feels like it belongs in the debate club instead of in a conversation. I'm having conversations, by the way. These are all conversations where I'm grandstanding. I'm expecting you to just talk to me. I don't want you to say, "Well, you're actually an idiot.

[00:12:49]You're stupid. You're dumb. You're a psychopath." No, I don't want that. I want you to just talk to me as a person.

[00:12:54]That's it. I just want you to have a conversation with me. That's it. Is that fair? Is that okay? Is that fine? I think that pressure will turn all your normal thoughts into performance. Everyone's trying to sound like they've studied something instead of just experienced the thing. You You just experienced it.

[00:13:12]I I All a take is is just a fancy well-backed you sounds well-backed opinion. My take on men is I don't give a [ __ ] Your opinion on men is this.

[00:13:27]But no, takes don't survive. What are you trying to win?

[00:13:31]Who are you trying to convince? I'm not trying to convince you of [ __ ] I don't care about If you disagree with everything I've ever said, that matters very little to me because you don't live my life and I have no I have I have no reason to convince you.

[00:13:47]What is the reason I would need to convince you? Give me the reason.

[00:13:51]Right? I don't know better than you. I don't. I don't know better than you. I'm just more articulate. That's all I got.

[00:13:58]I'm charismatic. I'm significantly more charismatic than most people.

[00:14:02]That's it. I'm more articulate than most people. I don't stutter when I speak. I don't use the word like in every single conversation. That's it. That's all I got. That's it.

[00:14:12]That's it. I think that shift from opinion to take is the most exhausting thing ever. Every conversation has become this quiet competition. Nobody's allowed to just exist with their thoughts. Everyone is polishing, refining, reshaping, trying to make their sentence so so survive scrutiny.

[00:14:28]That kills the spontaneity that made talking to people feel alive in the first place.

[00:14:33]My defense for my opinions is simple.

[00:14:37]Honesty it's it's a little messy.

[00:14:41]That's what it is.

[00:14:42]Honesty is a little messy.

[00:14:45]I'm fine with that. I feel them my body and that's what I am.

[00:14:50]I I They are a reaction.

[00:14:53]They're a tension. They're a my comfort.

[00:14:56]And I enjoy them.

[00:14:57]And someone may say, "We don't have to let the internet know your opinions."

[00:15:00]You can And this is very important. I need you to listen with your whole chest when I say this. You can take a short walk off of a tall bridge is what you can do. I can talk about whatever I want to cuz you don't have to watch my channel. You're here. You've made it What am I? 15 minutes into this video?

[00:15:16]You made it 15 minutes in. You don't have to be here. You aware of that? You know that? You can go find someone else who you agree with and you cannot grow as a person and you can burn and rot and you can become fecal matter for an animal or some decomposers in the dirt.

[00:15:32]You can become worm food as well for all I care. That's what you That's what you can do. That's That's what you can do.

[00:15:36]Your bone marrow is going to be delicious in 76 years when you pass away. That's what's going to happen to you. But my bone marrow is going to be even more delicious because I'm tasty and I eat better and that's going to be fun for all those little decomposers.

[00:15:47]I'm going to be a tasty snack for the earth. It's going to be delicious. Can't wait for that. You have to let people have that space though. The space where not everything is a big performance.

[00:15:56]Where not everything is a statement that needs to be cross-examined because the moment every opinion becomes a take is the moment people stop speaking honestly. You know what they start doing? They speak strategically. That's what This is the same logic that guys do when they want some coochie.

[00:16:14]They don't speak honestly, they speak strategically. You'll hear a woman say, "Oh, men are pigs." And a guy will say, "Yeah."

[00:16:21]Objectively a true statement, but the guy is trying to get some cheeks. So his statement is not based in truth. He doesn't think he's a pig. He took personal offense to that. So he's going to be like, "Ah, man, I I want to argue, but you know, that ass is fat." That's the whole thing there. And then when you do get into an argument, you can bring up that you don't believe in that. And then that's being strategic cuz men just want coo That's the whole thing.

[00:16:42]And once that happens, right? Once you start speaking strategically, you are talking to a carefully constructed version of that person.

[00:16:50]You're talking to a Tinder profile, which sucks.

[00:16:53]I want to speak to people. I want to speak to worthless, disgusting, evil, nasty peo- I want to speak to the worst of mankind all the time forever. That's what I want to speak to. But some people are good. I don't care about those people. You can be good on your own time. I don't give I don't give a damn.

[00:17:09]I want to have a horrible conversation is what I want to do. Well, that makes you a bad person. Cool. Great. What Oh, I don't care about your opinion? You shouldn't care about mine, either. Look at that. You see how this goes back and forth? How we're just having a conversation?

[00:17:23]Isn't that fun? Isn't that good? Isn't that healthy when you can actually talk to somebody? I don't even hate you. I don't even dislike you. I just disagree.

[00:17:32]And that's okay. Isn't that fine? Isn't that okay?

[00:17:36]I think olives on pizza is delicious.

[00:17:39]I think that's enough. I should not need a footnote. I don't need a citation.

[00:17:43]Well, what about the flavor profile of the I don't give a [ __ ] If I did food review, I'd say this banana is pretty good and I'd end the video. That'd be the whole thing. I should be able to say it, mean it, and move on. This is what opinions are supposed to be.

[00:17:58]They're not supposed to be these arguments or credentials, just people existing, feeling through, and saying them aloud. You're so I'm so angry.

[00:18:06]Sorry. You're so scared of having your own opinions about things. You're so scared of being a person that you coddle the idea, the facsimile of human nature inside of yourself. And you don't know what it means to be human anymore. You lost that feeling, that ability to be your own person because you are a combination of other people's takes, other people's words, and and vibes, and feelings. Have a bad Have a bad thing to say.

[00:18:34]Have a horrifyingly evil opinion about something. Have one. Just do it. Listen to an artist that's canceled that you really enjoy without feeling bad. Why do you feel bad? Well, because it hurts people. Don't think about those people.

[00:18:47]For you specifically, you can still enjoy it.

[00:18:51]Let You have one life, man. You got one.

[00:18:53]And for a lot of Christians, I think Christians are the only creature on this earth that really like death a lot.

[00:18:59]They're the only ones that want to die.

[00:19:00]Anyways, you have one life, brother. One. One singular life. Please, live it to the fullest capability that is humanly possible. Live in every way. Live in the expansive way. Go out. Branch out. Be a tree. Put your roots in the earth, and feel the rain on your skin. Feel it.

[00:19:20]So sick of talking to to the same same people.

[00:19:25]Same.

[00:19:26]So I'm so easy to talk to because I don't judge you when you speak to me.

[00:19:32]I'm not going to judge you cuz I'm worse.

[00:19:36]And that's good.

[00:19:39]Have a great day.

[00:19:43]>> It's our only good night. Be my lover.

[00:19:48]Happy to try what you need.

[00:19:51]Your world, I love to live in it.

[00:19:54]I love to ride where you free.

[00:19:58]Uh.
