I wonder how large Billy Evans' cut of You Can See Everything was. Is there some potential contractual reason nathan doesn't disclose this?

sometimes when I've been tweeting about the same thing for two weeks straight, which is the main thing I do on here, I see someone I know interact with or like a tweet and I feel great shame

once I was in a sort of small city in france, and I asked a hotel guy "bonjour, est-ce que vous parlez anglais?" (do you speak english) and he looked at me strangely and said "vous parlez francais" (you speak french), because he preferred to just keep speaking french

the tragedy of language learning is that it is never impressive. the best you can get is as good as a random 20 year old nobody thinks is all that special. and that will never ever happen lol

I think I have a quite literal-minded approach to movies that can sometimes lead to me not seeing eye to eye with people. And the Nathan Fielder movie is the clearest example. I am not in any way disturbed by the idea that you can't tell if someone is authentic or honest through their behavior alone

maybe one day I'll make my most hated video of all time about why I find this movie just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I must stop tweeting about it

I was actually under the impression that trying to catch out liars through body language and such was basically pseudo science. this had big implications on how I watched da movie lol

at this point, Mr Beast's main job seems to be plumpening himself. These videos were released two weeks apart. Two plumpenings and de-plumpenings in such a short period just can't be healthy

okay maybe I'm being unfair. I guess he got plump in the grocery store, plumping on milk and melon on day 201. and then he had to lose the weight that he and his plump wife had gained. still it just feels like a big toll on the body

The Nathan Fielder movie is about the inherently manipulative nature of language and documentary, but I the clearest example of this manipulation is not “do I remember these words exactly right,” it’s “did we look into how weird this power of attorney situation actually is”

Nathan fielder wants to find the lies in small existential places, and to ask questions like “can we really know anybody?” This is essentially always what he wants to ask. But what happens when we don’t know people… because they stonewall us

I’m a massive Nathan Fielder fan and thought the movie was pretty good but, and I know I’m gonna get a lot of people saying “that was the point,” but it would have been nice to learn something deep, surprising, interesting about Elizabeth Holmes in the Elizabeth Holmes movie

But I need to let it sit for a while. It was good

I know it's annoying that I always exclusively tweet about my newest video for like five days after it comes out. But after reading a good number of comments I got the impression that I like BRUTALIZED andrew callaghan and drove his work into the GROUND. but I rewatched a bit and like, it was fine

one point I really wish I'd made in the video but ended up cutting is that Andrew's debate claims in his Jub video are about low salience conspiracies. He doesn't talk about election denial or vaccines or trans panic. And so I empathize with the desire to think "these guys are just weird boys"

one surprise from the video is that a good number of people are pretty sympathetic to the idea that trump staged his ear shooting. feels like a lot to me. and the only evidence provided is that he doesn't have a big scar, when I feel like he coulda just been nicked by the bullet

For the record, I don’t even find this particular theory emotionally gratifying. It would seem to imply that Trump is a courageous and meticulous genius

I responded fuck off before I realized I was responding to famed YouTuber Max Landis. It was like an instinctive, almost Pavlovian response to the comment

I hung out with a friend today who didn't know about view inflation, and they talked about and seemed impressed by how quickly my video hit a million views. boys... it's working... the public doesn't know

This is an interesting idea. From my perspective, of course if you're making the choice to platform someone, you should do it in good faith under the assumption that what they believe matters. and that platforming people in some cutesy false way is worse. maybe that is disagreeable to some

I mean on a fundamental level, if you platform the Gay Hate activist, and you contrive the debate such that he isn't challenged on Gay Hatred, you're just not fulfilling what feels like a basic obligation to the public
