I’ve found this to be true. At my job they now require everyone to clock in by scanning their fingerprint. Even though it made me uncomfortable to say “no” that’s what I did, and now they’re looking at alternatives for those who don’t want to give it. In this company that’s been around for 20 years, HR told me I’m the only one who didn’t want to give it. No regrets. What we tolerate today becomes mandatory tomorrow.
I did the same thing at my job for about half a year. I ended up going to a manager at the start and end of each shift and they would load the app on their phone and go through the process of punching me in/out. Eventually I questioned whether it was worth the hassle and couldn't dream up a scenario in which the glowboys having a fingerprint would be such a problem. I still don't know whether I caved in or stopped being unneccesarily paranoid but after seeing this video I wonder if me being expedient was a mistake. Best of luck in resisting biometrics at your job! I hope they give you access to the time clock app at your work so you don't have to deal with someone twice every shift.
Was the same with even disclosing my vaccine. The fuckers said we have a "Mandatory vaccine disclosure" with a deadline and everything. I told them to get a legal request, and they responded that an email was a "legal request". I didn't respond and let the deadline pass, and apparently enough people didn't say anything that they let the whole thing go. I was the only one of my coworkers that I knew, who refused to comply.

I think earning a high salary at a company job can be in line with individual freedom. Money provides greater agency, and it makes sense to try to earn a lot earlier in life to take advantage of compound interest through investing. In some sense, we are all slaves to economics, to the very real costs of food and shelter throughout our lives. A high salary allows one to liberate oneself more quickly from these masters and become financially independent. Of course, you should make sure that your work is not contrary to your moral principles, but I think there is room for that in the current marketplace of jobs. And jobs definitely do try to turn you into a specific jigsaw piece in the puzzle, but you can always switch to a different job internally or quit and look elsewhere, which provides an avenue for developmental freedom.
I agree Tommy. The one possible problem is that any point you may die. Thus, I think the importance is not on compromising your moral code for that goal of financial freedom. Best wishes
3:00 "They are only gonna ask more from you" This is even true in small contexts. If I do less work at home, they don't expect much from me, and are more happy, when I do things by myself, even if I just clean up my own room :P If I do more work at home, they often don't even notice it, nor do they really value it, at least not enough to be really worth it.
A thing I read about that is that you should always talk about what you did so people recognise it. So, if you are really good at your job and do things out of your way, make sure your supervisor, boss or whatever knows about that, so you don't keep overworking waiting for people to realize that and that never happening.

Inversion of values is a satanic trademark, that's why soul less robocops and telli addict NPCs think they're in the good side. There is no pass to the good ending (after life) for consciousness like that.
I often felt alone for following my intuition and going against the normie advise if things didn't feel right. Thanks luke for giving a voice to people who still care about ethics. The system is trying hard to make people like us feel isolated do we don't find each other.
I really don't get what's so hard and absurd about getting a vaccine that's proven to increase your chances of surviving a globally spread disease and decrease your chances of infecting other people. Y'all can stand up for yourselves for that, but this is just plain dumb.
@@laurosf a "vaccine" whose efficacy is dropping by the day against a disease whose letality even the WHO doubts. Oh yeah, did I mention cases of myocarditis induced by the jab? And all of that to contain a supposed disease the Norwegian ministry of health has deemed a mere flu... Or was there an ulterior motive? ;)
@@laurosf anti vaccine belief right now is pure reactance. It is not based in any higher belief about vaccines being dangerous or that people have rights. It is just pure "I am being required/expected to get this, and that triggers my gut reaction that my freedom is being violated, and i am biting that reaction without thinking." Of course the anti vax stuff seems worse online that in real life because a lot of people shilling to not get the jab are Godless zoomers who don't understand that we are closer to God when we get vaccinated against any disease. Especially ones that impact as many people as covid.
Luke, ever since I was a kid I had the same goal, to live independent of the system. It's nice to hear someone speak who feels the same. I'm glad to say I've achieved it as well. You're so right in that 20k independent is more valuable than 200k tethered.
COURAGE. In the judeo/christian greco/roman heritage, we call that capacity COURAGE. To stand up for yourself and do what's right, even when it's hard. That capacity for courage has been systematically withheld from several generations now (read the book "Men Without Chests" for more info).
The individualist path is usually rewarding, if temporarily tough, no doubt. Going along with the crowd used to be rewarded by society with stable jobs, reliable investment opportunities, a safety net, and a community that took you in and had your back if you just did your part semi-reliably. No more! So clear is this reality we have trouble accepting the occasional moment when collective action is actually necessary and beneficial.

True stuff Luke. I tried to resist, but couldn't do it alone. Unfortunately some of the people around here who are resisting are unhinged and starting fights.
Your basically Following an agenda that is cooked by sociopath peoples in the shadows you have no clue their real goals and motives, it's all a pyrmidal slavery matrix where every body obey without resistance to steer the future in the Love-Truth-Freedom based direction. ua-cam.com/video/rW0Zk5eeI2o/v-deo.html
the thing about not even having control of your own body in the matter of your health go back to the demonification of cigarettes. Basically they made an massive campaign in the 20th century so generations was addicted to it and in the 21th they turned 180° and did the exact opposite, and i saw only one person complaining about it. it might have health benefits but this is a massive test of social engineering that is for sure, kinda like what ambientalists tries to do with their immaculate "you can't be against it" ideas.
It goes back farther than that. There were state and local laws giving governments power to mandate vaccinations at least as far back as the early 1900s. Jacobson v Massachusetts resulted in SCOTUS ruling that these laws were constitutional in 1905.
as soon as you put a little resistance everyone else gives up, i swear the insane world we have is due to people being too afraid to say anything at all
Exactly. One person standing up doesn't change anything if the rest of the people don't. That's why the government and corporations have been able to get away with such evil.
Also, in some cases, most people are in agreement with the evil. The best example I can think of is vaccine mandates. Most people I know don't think that it's a problem.
Man thank you so much! That'sis a great video. Sometime i feeling that in the future there will be no option to me stand up for myself in my country cuz it's controlled by monopolies and a rich guys... I think Linux people and open source communities have to by a land in Africa and build a new open source country 😂🌍
Luke, thank you. As a young person I need to take this philosophy with me through life, and I think if I do and I really stick to it, I will be a happier, more genuine person, which is worth a lot more than money to me.
Spot on my friend. When the shit hits the fan, the place you find yourself in, shows all of the characteristics, of the culmination of - all of your decisions up to that point.
I had finally landed a management position that I was really excited about. After a couple weeks they basically told me I had to take that shiz. I literally laughed in their faces. The GM was stunned. I told him we always have a choice and walked out. During this time everyone who took it was out sick wondering how they got sick. I do not regret this at all. I called all of this right off the bat and got the usual conspiracy theorist remarks. Well everything is a theory until proven true. You'd be a fool to think nothing conspiratorial has happened before.
I had to stop the video and comment here at 2:29 Holy fuck someone has finally put what I couldn’t into words. Something always felt so off every time I did some sort of onboarding for a new job. That’s what it is… the seemingly cult like loyalty they want.
Good point Luke about the specialization making you focus all of your energies on learning a specific skill or program that is not transferable. You aren't resilient. I also have the same feelings about the mandates being the necessary push for some (i.e. me) to take the plunge into self sufficiency and entrepreneurship rather than being a "wage cuck" as you so eloquently put it.
You are right about needing to stand up. But i feel that you are quite young and you obviously speak based on your experience (as all of us do). The younger one is, the easier it is to make radical changes because he is still looking and searching.. And he has not so many responsibilities. But we must be a bit leniant towards people who for example live month by month, rent by rent. If they do not pay their rent, they get evicted. It ia not so easy for them to just get up and quit their job. And worse if they have families. So, although in principle, you are correct, let's not all be so quick to condemn the weaknesses of others. I have a lot of them myself and hope that i can manage to become better and not worst before i die, even for a little bit at least. Take care
I have recently started watching your channel and I am able to relate to what you are saying. However I am from a developing country, so was curious what do you do for a living currently?

Cowardice is often disguised as morality.
Inversion of values is a satanic trademark, that's why soul less robocops and telli addict NPCs think they're in the good side.
There is no pass to the good ending (after life) for consciousness like that.
I often felt alone for following my intuition and going against the normie advise if things didn't feel right. Thanks luke for giving a voice to people who still care about ethics. The system is trying hard to make people like us feel isolated do we don't find each other.

Work for small companies that can't afford to have you over-specialize

The only problem is MOST small companies are REQUIRING the jab more often than large corpos. Unless you're in a state like Florida.
I really don't get what's so hard and absurd about getting a vaccine that's proven to increase your chances of surviving a globally spread disease and decrease your chances of infecting other people. Y'all can stand up for yourselves for that, but this is just plain dumb.
@@laurosf a "vaccine" whose efficacy is dropping by the day against a disease whose letality even the WHO doubts. Oh yeah, did I mention cases of myocarditis induced by the jab? And all of that to contain a supposed disease the Norwegian ministry of health has deemed a mere flu... Or was there an ulterior motive? ;)
@@laurosf
>y'all
>muh take vax
Reddit. You must go back where you belong.
@@laurosf anti vaccine belief right now is pure reactance. It is not based in any higher belief about vaccines being dangerous or that people have rights. It is just pure "I am being required/expected to get this, and that triggers my gut reaction that my freedom is being violated, and i am biting that reaction without thinking."
Of course the anti vax stuff seems worse online that in real life because a lot of people shilling to not get the jab are Godless zoomers who don't understand that we are closer to God when we get vaccinated against any disease. Especially ones that impact as many people as covid.
Sounds like people are turning to Luke for advice as they would to a priest.
Yeah it’s pretty scary lol people should turn to God not some UA-cam dude
Luke, ever since I was a kid I had the same goal, to live independent of the system. It's nice to hear someone speak who feels the same. I'm glad to say I've achieved it as well. You're so right in that 20k independent is more valuable than 200k tethered.
Not if you just quit after acquiring the 200k lol

Luke, I have no words to express how much I lose it when you do the high pitch voice
COURAGE. In the judeo/christian greco/roman heritage, we call that capacity COURAGE. To stand up for yourself and do what's right, even when it's hard. That capacity for courage has been systematically withheld from several generations now (read the book "Men Without Chests" for more info).
>Judeo-Christan
Makes about as much sense as Islamo-Mormon, but OK buddy.
The individualist path is usually rewarding, if temporarily tough, no doubt. Going along with the crowd used to be rewarded by society with stable jobs, reliable investment opportunities, a safety net, and a community that took you in and had your back if you just did your part semi-reliably. No more!
So clear is this reality we have trouble accepting the occasional moment when collective action is actually necessary and beneficial.

True stuff Luke. I tried to resist, but couldn't do it alone. Unfortunately some of the people around here who are resisting are unhinged and starting fights.

Luke, I would be very interested in a video elaborating why professorship is slavery. I might make a mistake of following this path...
Corporate alignment

Your basically Following an agenda that is cooked by sociopath peoples in the shadows you have no clue their real goals and motives, it's all a pyrmidal slavery matrix where every body obey without resistance to steer the future in the Love-Truth-Freedom based direction.

Saw the thumbnail in my feed. Was happy for 1 second
These luke smith outros are legendary.
I mean back in the day i stood up for my principles but i used to be a pretty liberal person now i regret it cause they were the wrong principles .
the thing about not even having control of your own body in the matter of your health go back to the demonification of cigarettes.
Basically they made an massive campaign in the 20th century so generations was addicted to it and in the 21th they turned 180° and did the exact opposite, and i saw only one person complaining about it.
it might have health benefits but this is a massive test of social engineering that is for sure, kinda like what ambientalists tries to do with their immaculate "you can't be against it" ideas.
It goes back farther than that. There were state and local laws giving governments power to mandate vaccinations at least as far back as the early 1900s. Jacobson v Massachusetts resulted in SCOTUS ruling that these laws were constitutional in 1905.
Uncle Luke here confirming my current resolution to leave my job by Christmas time if certain issues aren't fixed by then.
yes! This is what im doing right now, I'm standing up for what i believe in, even tho it's gonna cost me my job. i'll be happier in the end.
as soon as you put a little resistance everyone else gives up, i swear the insane world we have is due to people being too afraid to say anything at all
Exactly. One person standing up doesn't change anything if the rest of the people don't. That's why the government and corporations have been able to get away with such evil.
Also, in some cases, most people are in agreement with the evil. The best example I can think of is vaccine mandates. Most people I know don't think that it's a problem.
I was literally the only person out of about 400 that put up any resistance. Needless to say, it meant nothing.
Man thank you so much! That'sis a great video.
Sometime i feeling that in the future there will be no option to me stand up for myself in my country cuz it's controlled by monopolies and a rich guys... I think Linux people and open source communities have to by a land in Africa and build a new open source country 😂🌍
"I would rather die upon yonder gallows than live my life in slavery" - Samuel Sharpe
Luke, thank you. As a young person I need to take this philosophy with me through life, and I think if I do and I really stick to it, I will be a happier, more genuine person, which is worth a lot more than money to me.
Spot on my friend.
When the shit hits the fan, the place you find yourself in, shows all of the characteristics, of the culmination of - all of your decisions up to that point.
Thank you, this is the message that I have been thinking about, grateful you vocalize it.
florida is so nice this time of year
I had finally landed a management position that I was really excited about. After a couple weeks they basically told me I had to take that shiz. I literally laughed in their faces. The GM was stunned. I told him we always have a choice and walked out. During this time everyone who took it was out sick wondering how they got sick.
I do not regret this at all. I called all of this right off the bat and got the usual conspiracy theorist remarks. Well everything is a theory until proven true. You'd be a fool to think nothing conspiratorial has happened before.
Counter-point: "Richer" means you've saved enough money that you can spend more time with your family.

Holy fuck someone has finally put what I couldn’t into words. Something always felt so off every time I did some sort of onboarding for a new job. That’s what it is… the seemingly cult like loyalty they want.
Just saw you on Ham Syde. Keep it up.
Where?
Please make a video about the state of academia (especially working in the field).
Everything sucks :D
Good point Luke about the specialization making you focus all of your energies on learning a specific skill or program that is not transferable. You aren't resilient. I also have the same feelings about the mandates being the necessary push for some (i.e. me) to take the plunge into self sufficiency and entrepreneurship rather than being a "wage cuck" as you so eloquently put it.
I really want to hear about the humiliation of professors. 😁
I will regret I didn't spend enough time on playing video games probably
Thank you Luke - you convey all my thoughts much more elegantly than I can
There comes a time in every man's life when he must, be all like, "Nah, dog." y' know?

What can be worse than losing bodily autonomy? What can be worse than not owning your own body?
You are right about needing to stand up. But i feel that you are quite young and you obviously speak based on your experience (as all of us do). The younger one is, the easier it is to make radical changes because he is still looking and searching.. And he has not so many responsibilities. But we must be a bit leniant towards people who for example live month by month, rent by rent. If they do not pay their rent, they get evicted. It ia not so easy for them to just get up and quit their job. And worse if they have families. So, although in principle, you are correct, let's not all be so quick to condemn the weaknesses of others. I have a lot of them myself and hope that i can manage to become better and not worst before i die, even for a little bit at least. Take care
thanks for the wisdom uncle luke
