He was probably raised by a trio of maiden great aunts who were novelists, gardeners, furniture restorers, or couturists...or had a combination of those sort of skills.
I just squealed bloody murder with excitement when I heard that. My neighbours will probably be calling the local sanitarium any second securing my transorbital lobotomy, straight jacket, and padded room. I didn't really scream any words as it was more of an ahhhhhhhhhh sound very loud and very sharp. very much akin to the sound one might hear whilst chasing after a very flamboyantly dramatic chicken whose not keen on getting captured by the hungry man chasing him quite amusingly My animals are looking at me perplexed and worrisome that their father has finally cracked up... lol

John’s discussion of the use of the world “queer” and the meaning and implication...it’s brilliant and insightful and really thought provoking. This is so much more than a “makeup guru video” It’s a Ted talk
Thank you, John, for pointing out that very many of us do NOT enjoy or appreciate the word "queer" in reference to ourselves or others. Your explanation as to why the "reclaiming" of that word is pointless and, frankly, hurtful, is much more calm and methodical than I've ever managed. I don't particularly care when people use that word for themselves, but when they use it in reference to me or the community at large, I remember all the times I've heard it in hateful contexts and I can't help feeling... furious. I am not strange, I am not unusual, I am not sick.
Delirium24 I mean... people used the word “gay” as an insult all throughout the 90’s and people don’t seem to have a problem with that... I think it’s ok to have preferred terms you want people to use. But also realize that almost every word used to describe people of the GLBTNbQ+ community has been used as an insult at one time or another... that’s just me be realistic about actual history. It’s all about context, geography, and generation. But others aren’t responsible for intuiting your preferences. Personally I identify as non-binary. My only other reason for thinking of “queer” as ok is because in terms of demographics we are outliers. In terms of population people who identify outside of cishet are less than 12% of the population. Actually I’ve seen data that indicates lower numbers than that. Anyways I’m a person of numbers. And in terms of language, I personally tend to speak in a more literal way. So the connotative meaning of the word doesn’t seem like an insult to me. And connotation is always in flux. These words are floating signifiers at best... I think what’s important is that it’s ok to be different. And that our differences are a source of power and strength instead of a reason to be mistreated and harmed.
I understand that for many people that word brings back very painful memories and there are basically two ways to react to those feelings: avoiding that word or taking charge of that word's meaning and changing it in an act of empowerment. There is no right or wrong reaction. Everyone is determined by their own biography and personality structure to act and react in certain ways. I want to challenge John's claim on the power of words however, which I think he over-pronounces. It is not the words that hold power, its the thoughts they evoke. That is why a change of words often doesn't lead to the desired changes because the thoughts that arise are still the same. Someone who may have been awfully ostracized because of their sexuality will be reminded of their otherness and their feelings of shame regardless whether they use the word "gay" or "homosexual" or "same-sex attraction" etc. The power is within the mind and in the conscious working with our thoughts, not in a change of vocabulary.
Dida and John appear and act very similar, oozing grace and poise, but they project and emulate that in very different ways. Yet I still view them as long lost twins.
@@elysian7510 I really really love that! we need a little bit more of this sort of grandure in our lives, we can learn so much only from the way he speaks his words... I'm so much in awe! xoxo
This film👏👏👏 whom ever asked the second question thank you because John's response was the most beautiful, rational, genius, genuine answer. 💗💕the black question & his answer😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love this film with all of my heart.
Light but dark black, pastel black.....😆 Your sense of humor is so subtle because you sound so serious when you speak, but the stuff you come up with is absolutely hilarious.
I doubt you have time to read the comments but I just want to say thank you. It's really refreshing to find a man, a proud man who displays femininity and doesn't conflate it with gender. It's a rarity, and fascinating. Brave really. If you're a man and don't conform to gender there is a pressure to push a female label on them, there has to be an explanation for it, a man can't look feminine and beautiful and be a man????? Actually yes, they can. I have nothing against people who do identify outside of their born gender but I'm just noting this distinction. I love it. We need to widen our understanding of gender (or better yet, tear it down). I love your aura and your expression of self. You're so fascinating, you give me the same feeling of 'excitement' I had when I first discovered Bowie or Eddie Izzard. Not to mention that you're well spoken, androgynous, and a wicked sense of humour which get a big fat tick in my book. You've gained a new sub
I have 3 children. All born biologically male. However, I teach my children to accept each person as a human. Wether they’re an equal child or their elder. Take for instance, my 5yr old, came over & looked at your appearance while I was watching this video. My child said, “that’s a very pretty person.” Not, “that’s a very pretty boy/girl”. This is because I’ve been into makeup my entire life, as far back as I can remember, so my children’s lives have that as a big part as well. I watch males/females/transgenders/people insure of their gender & have always taught my children to look as every single person as a human & not automatically associate makeup with just female. Just like the colors blue or pink, they do not signify male or female on my life or my children’s life. You are a very well educated person & I greatly appreciate that & your personal point of view. I could not agree more, in regards to your view on how to implement change, that we must start with children & how we teach them to view others & the world (animals, governments, finances, the planet, food, etc.). Thank you, John 💜
I love this. I’m still struggling with my partner as he picks on his nephews for liking pink and gymnastics. I hope that I, and his awesome nephews, can open his mind from gender norms 😕
I move to vote Lord Maclean as the initiating member of the first iteration of the Inter-Galactic and Global Human Rights Council. All in favour, say I.
You're authentic. I like authenticity. It is such a rare quality in the media these days. This is what has drawn me to your channel, and kept me here ever since. The idea you put about a universal, humanistic education approach is on point, and yet so severely ignored these days. Knowledge is power and educating people into a bigger understanding of themselves and the world gives them that power. That's not very sought after by classes that currently hold it in their hands to decide who is (and remains) on top. I think it is marvellous that you voice up these values so eloquently, not only with your words, but your entire choice of demeanour and content focus. Please, keep being genuine and bringing us such great content. :)
T. Roma I read your post & think you & I are like-minded in regards to our views on certain things. I Too posted here in the comments section & although it’s a bit long, it’s still only a paragraph lol. So I did a copy/paste & thought I’d share it w/u here. Im curious about your thoughts. 😊: --At around 11 min. (& a little before) where John talks about self responsibility & recognizing our own fears when we’re presented w/something we don’t understand is FANTASTIC! I teach a very similar idea to clients in sessions as part of a self healing modality. John talks about teaching self responsibility to children which is vital & so necessary. I teach this to adults that need healing because they weren’t taught this as children. It’s difficult to explain here b/c it’s such a rich subject but John has an awareness about humanity that is a bit different because it goes in a direction that can help the collective to see differently & then make choices that reflect this & I feel this is very needed here right now. Im seeing the trickle down effect of people who think & believe like John more & more. It’s profound & impactful. It makes me wonder, what if we had a system in place that teaches children all the things that our regular education system does not; the topics that we all have wished for at some point & said, “gee if they had only taught this in grade school.” There are things (like this topic for example) that will most likely need generations to completely catch on simply b/c of the depth of healing that needs to occur before the (collective) beliefs of people change. But I feel like once it does, the overall experience of life will become better in all of the ways that really matter. Healing allows us to let go of the old & take in something better & hence will then become a part of what we teach to our children. John has a clarity about things that most of us don’t learn until life teaches it through painful experiences. Teachers like John are very needed here right now & it is because of his beliefs about topics like this, his presence alone has a huge impact on humanity. We come into our incarnations here w/a soul purpose or mission & I can clearly see a part of his & it’s beautiful. It is already helping to raise the mass vibration of the planet. 💚❤️💜
Authentic... His speech is entirely fabricated, forced and painful to listen to. He is trying far too hard to be someone he isn't, which shows through his incorrect pronunciations. I'd have rather a lot more respect for him if he was entirely authentic and spoke according to the way in which he is accustomed.
me: what is your favorite color? john: goes on a 10 minute tangent describing various shades of red, their history and origin, how to say it in different languages, etc
I show them to mine, some of them don't really understand english but they start to say 'marvelous' and other melodic sounding words. John expresses ideas we live by and try to teach to our children, so showing this videos to them helps a lot to normalize our view ( it's not the same listen to your parents say something than listen to strangers say the same thing (in john's case in a polished and refined manner) with other words).
I'm so sick of Mastress Maclean beaming his beauty all over the universe!!! His intense gloriosity keeps me awake day and night. Please, Mastress, think of we who _need_ sleep!!!
Selina Gintner how about, “introducing John Maclean”? I think it would be more respectful of John’s choice to maintain areas of privacy in his life. It would also be nicer to introduce John to a greater audience, but of course this is completely up to him. That kind of exposure can create a great momentum of positive support, appreciation, and wonder in John’s skills and persona on UA-cam, but there is also the hate and negative people/attention that come along with greater exposure. We all want our beloved UA-camrs to garner the acknowledgement we feel they deserve, but not all UA-camrs want that kind of recognition and we should respect their needs and comfort zones.
how is this person only 24??HOW have you reached this level of just.. intelligence and life experience in this short time I have to believe that whoever raised him is just amazing
He's the most amazing creature. This is my new podcast obsession. If only he'd start one. I think he's only 24 centuries. He has the knowledge of 24 light years though
You are such a beautiful soul. I love how you explain your displeasure with the word “ Queer”. And I love the way you suggest people discard those derogatory terms and words. Because words do have power, and they should be chosen carefully and used reverently
So interesting I though of black people using the N word towards each other Yes you’re claiming the word and ‘owning’ it, but if oppressors has never called you that as a negative term, you wouldn’t be using it.... therefore adopting the word is still giving them power in a way. I’m not black and it’s generally not my oppression but I found it a very interesting thought exercise. I’ve never seen a JM video before this one but I was not expecting this and am so surprised and impressed. I’ve never seen a beauty personality on UA-cam so well spoken and intelligent. Much respect. ✊🏻
fatima Ali I agree with you I’m broken hearted when I hear some stories and I’m not insensitive But using that word isn’t helping anything except keeping that stereotype or history alive
Professor R. Chaos i am black and i never say it. I feel like those who do are kind of hypocritical or fooling themselves somewhat if they still get upset when a non black person uses that word. If a word has the ability to make you feel a certain way if the "wrong" person says it then you need to realize that the problem isnt just the speaker but the word itself.
You seem to be confused about what he implied. A reaction means you are simply using your emotions to guide which course to take, rather than thought. No one is diminishing the problem by refusing to use a certain word or, better yet, refusing to give or take any power from it. Language is communication, not ideas, and as such, it is subjected to a myriad of different channels that might or might not aid its ultimate goal. The point here is: there is a problem, but acting like an irrational spoiled brat isn't solving it, as you can see, since you haven't, and neither has anyone. Until you can question and effectively counter someone's reasoning by usage of rational response, you are as good as useless to the cause, and you are effectively doing more hard than good. Reconsider, and maybe take John's advice and "edit", perhaps then people will be more willing to understand.
I love how he sorts of elaborates further from the question and then goes back to answer it directly. It makes every point he tries to explain very clear.
James is a young artist. Only 19. He's very extra but I do love him. John is absolutely the opposite in his energy and I agree it is so refreshing esp after a Sister video 😂
vanessa carey That's true he can be very exhausting and a little extra. He needs to calm down and focus on his opportunities before they are squandered away. This platform can be very fickle. One day u may have millions of subscribers and the next day none.
"My life is the norm to me. Your life is the norm to you." Hands down, you are the wisest person on all of UA-cam. Your words are so inspiring, and tonight especially, I certainly needed to hear the bit about not molding our circumstance around those who are negative. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and your creativity with us.
I absolutely enjoy watching each and everyone of his films. But I have to confess something. My favorite part is when he says “bye“. He says it in such a beautifully soft way.
I came across your channel recently and I just feel blown away. You’re extremely unique and soft and mysterious, this is so refreshing from everything I’ve been watching on UA-cam.
Loved your comments about the power of words. Those 3k years of life certainly have given you some great insight and a depth of wisdom most don't have.
I agree wholeheartedly on your views about educating children about self responsibility and discipline. To fight against any sort of enslavement. Very insightful.
I absolutely love John's answer regarding the use of the word "queer". It is quite thought provoking and well said. I agree with him. Liberty is fundamental.
I respect your take on the word queer and categorisations in general. I'm so tired of the LGBT etc community wanting to label every single orientation and gender. Ambiguity can be nice and refreshing.
Hambone Fakenameington I’m tired of people telling others how to identify. Ambiguity is allowing people to identify as queer without some kind of personal misinformed hot take.
i do agree somewhat as the matter oftentime confuses me. but i feel as though it depends entirely on the person's preference to use them or not as it brings some of them great joy to be identified as something that isn't 'fag,' 'abomination,' or 'god's mistake.' and i do use these labels as well, but only to a limit that i shall not confuse those who have very little knowledge about the topic.
THEORY! What if John is immortal? What if what he said in one of his filum that he was using the same item since 1400 BC was actually true? Which explains his wild range of vocabulary and knowledge. And that's why he seems like a very old soul. Because I feel like I am watching a documentary about life from a hundred year old person with so much experience. Haha I know that's stupid, but wouldn't that be so awesome? By the way I love you John.
"the kind of climate we have now hasn't necessarily changed people's minds; the cost of being open about those prejudiced views are much higher" I couldn't agree more. People are just less vocal about being bad people, but we're still bad people. We're still prejudiced. Part of the reason is that instead of educating ignorant people, we just shut them up, so ignorant people become fearful of voicing their ignorance and become more cemented in their ignorant ways.
A new education. A worldly education. Yes John this is truly the answer. Things such as this will have the power to change the world. It must start with our young ones who must be educated in entirety. Most children are schooled in a bubble learning only what is necessary to get by on the most basic of levels.
I enjoy your video's very much, I am learning a great deal about how to put on my makeup. its about time, I am 67. i think you are wonderful and possess a great deal of wisdom and common sense. Thank you
Other beauty gurus Q&A : What's your favorite makeup? Lord MacLean's Q&A: *asking about philosophical and existential questions about love, life, and death.
I feel I am listening to an old soul. You are the embodiment of a soul that lived a thousand lives. You are wise, strong willed, self aware and genuine. However, I would not want to see you angry😜. You are a true inspiration to all of us. The black discour and the David Attenborough voice, I just cracked up laughing. You are truly one in a million. Xoxoxox
Such a HIGHLY INTELLECTUAL being! John, where were you educated? And, if I may, what was your major, or subject of study? You come across as a philosopher! Nietzsche reincarnated? I so enjoy listening to your thoughts. Ever consider creating a pod cast? I think you have ALOT to offer this world, John! Thank you for sharing.

John, you are, intelligent, eloquent, beautiful, gracious, kind, and down to earth. I really look forward to your filums.
Thank you, John, for pointing out that very many of us do NOT enjoy or appreciate the word "queer" in reference to ourselves or others. Your explanation as to why the "reclaiming" of that word is pointless and, frankly, hurtful, is much more calm and methodical than I've ever managed. I don't particularly care when people use that word for themselves, but when they use it in reference to me or the community at large, I remember all the times I've heard it in hateful contexts and I can't help feeling... furious. I am not strange, I am not unusual, I am not sick.
Delirium24 I mean... people used the word “gay” as an insult all throughout the 90’s and people don’t seem to have a problem with that...
I think it’s ok to have preferred terms you want people to use. But also realize that almost every word used to describe people of the GLBTNbQ+ community has been used as an insult at one time or another... that’s just me be realistic about actual history.
It’s all about context, geography, and generation. But others aren’t responsible for intuiting your preferences.
Personally I identify as non-binary. My only other reason for thinking of “queer” as ok is because in terms of demographics we are outliers. In terms of population people who identify outside of cishet are less than 12% of the population. Actually I’ve seen data that indicates lower numbers than that.
Anyways I’m a person of numbers. And in terms of language, I personally tend to speak in a more literal way. So the connotative meaning of the word doesn’t seem like an insult to me. And connotation is always in flux. These words are floating signifiers at best...
I think what’s important is that it’s ok to be different. And that our differences are a source of power and strength instead of a reason to be mistreated and harmed.
So true .. we grew up learning it's not a good word and now it's being used for an entire community .. why?!! People should come up with better
THANK YOU!!! I ALMOST SOBBED WITH RELIEF- I H A T E THAT WORD
I understand that for many people that word brings back very painful memories and there are basically two ways to react to those feelings: avoiding that word or taking charge of that word's meaning and changing it in an act of empowerment. There is no right or wrong reaction. Everyone is determined by their own biography and personality structure to act and react in certain ways. I want to challenge John's claim on the power of words however, which I think he over-pronounces. It is not the words that hold power, its the thoughts they evoke. That is why a change of words often doesn't lead to the desired changes because the thoughts that arise are still the same. Someone who may have been awfully ostracized because of their sexuality will be reminded of their otherness and their feelings of shame regardless whether they use the word "gay" or "homosexual" or "same-sex attraction" etc. The power is within the mind and in the conscious working with our thoughts, not in a change of vocabulary.
Why do I feel like his friend group consists of Anna Wintour, Meryl Streep and Dita Von Teese
Dida and John appear and act very similar, oozing grace and poise, but they project and emulate that in very different ways. Yet I still view them as long lost twins.
@@elysian7510 I really really love that! we need a little bit more of this sort of grandure in our lives, we can learn so much only from the way he speaks his words... I'm so much in awe! xoxo
Nuclear Wintour...hmm, not so sure...
This person is already a better parent then most tbh.

Light but dark black, pastel black.....😆 Your sense of humor is so subtle because you sound so serious when you speak, but the stuff you come up with is absolutely hilarious.
I doubt you have time to read the comments but I just want to say thank you. It's really refreshing to find a man, a proud man who displays femininity and doesn't conflate it with gender. It's a rarity, and fascinating. Brave really. If you're a man and don't conform to gender there is a pressure to push a female label on them, there has to be an explanation for it, a man can't look feminine and beautiful and be a man????? Actually yes, they can. I have nothing against people who do identify outside of their born gender but I'm just noting this distinction. I love it. We need to widen our understanding of gender (or better yet, tear it down). I love your aura and your expression of self. You're so fascinating, you give me the same feeling of 'excitement' I had when I first discovered Bowie or Eddie Izzard. Not to mention that you're well spoken, androgynous, and a wicked sense of humour which get a big fat tick in my book. You've gained a new sub
Yaaasss preachh :)
Well said. I have been saying exactly that same thing today.
This is an extraordinary individual.
Beautiful 💜

I appreciate your very thoughtful response to the use of the word "queer".
Your David Attenborough impression just added 10 years to my life. Thank you

I've been watching UA-cam for a good 9 years. I think I've learned more in these 2 Q&A's than all the videos I've ever watched on UA-cam. *mind blown*
I have 3 children. All born biologically male.
However, I teach my children to accept each person as a human. Wether they’re an equal child or their elder.
Take for instance, my 5yr old, came over & looked at your appearance while I was watching this video. My child said, “that’s a very pretty person.” Not, “that’s a very pretty boy/girl”. This is because I’ve been into makeup my entire life, as far back as I can remember, so my children’s lives have that as a big part as well. I watch males/females/transgenders/people insure of their gender & have always taught my children to look as every single person as a human & not automatically associate makeup with just female. Just like the colors blue or pink, they do not signify male or female on my life or my children’s life.
You are a very well educated person & I greatly appreciate that & your personal point of view. I could not agree more, in regards to your view on how to implement change, that we must start with children & how we teach them to view others & the world (animals, governments, finances, the planet, food, etc.).
Thank you, John 💜
You've raised them well.
Good job Momma! Isn't it awesome when we get to see the beauty of the hard work we put into our kids.
I love this comment. You are a good parent!
Your kids are gonna grow up to be amazing people. :')
I love this. I’m still struggling with my partner as he picks on his nephews for liking pink and gymnastics. I hope that I, and his awesome nephews, can open his mind from gender norms 😕

Aye.
You're authentic. I like authenticity. It is such a rare quality in the media these days. This is what has drawn me to your channel, and kept me here ever since. The idea you put about a universal, humanistic education approach is on point, and yet so severely ignored these days. Knowledge is power and educating people into a bigger understanding of themselves and the world gives them that power. That's not very sought after by classes that currently hold it in their hands to decide who is (and remains) on top. I think it is marvellous that you voice up these values so eloquently, not only with your words, but your entire choice of demeanour and content focus. Please, keep being genuine and bringing us such great content. :)

I read your post & think you & I are like-minded in regards to our views on certain things. I Too posted here in the comments section & although it’s a bit long, it’s still only a paragraph lol. So I did a copy/paste & thought I’d share it w/u here. Im curious about your thoughts. 😊:
--At around 11 min. (& a little before) where John talks about self responsibility & recognizing our own fears when we’re presented w/something we don’t understand is FANTASTIC! I teach a very similar idea to clients in sessions as part of a self healing modality. John talks about teaching self responsibility to children which is vital & so necessary. I teach this to adults that need healing because they weren’t taught this as children. It’s difficult to explain here b/c it’s such a rich subject but John has an awareness about humanity that is a bit different because it goes in a direction that can help the collective to see differently & then make choices that reflect this & I feel this is very needed here right now. Im seeing the trickle down effect of people who think & believe like John more & more. It’s profound & impactful. It makes me wonder, what if we had a system in place that teaches children all the things that our regular education system does not; the topics that we all have wished for at some point & said, “gee if they had only taught this in grade school.” There are things (like this topic for example) that will most likely need generations to completely catch on simply b/c of the depth of healing that needs to occur before the (collective) beliefs of people change. But I feel like once it does, the overall experience of life will become better in all of the ways that really matter. Healing allows us to let go of the old & take in something better & hence will then become a part of what we teach to our children. John has a clarity about things that most of us don’t learn until life teaches it through painful experiences. Teachers like John are very needed here right now & it is because of his beliefs about topics like this, his presence alone has a huge impact on humanity. We come into our incarnations here w/a soul purpose or mission & I can clearly see a part of his & it’s beautiful. It is already helping to raise the mass vibration of the planet. 💚❤️💜
He is so amazing I'm learning a lot from him 👍
Authentic... His speech is entirely fabricated, forced and painful to listen to. He is trying far too hard to be someone he isn't, which shows through his incorrect pronunciations. I'd have rather a lot more respect for him if he was entirely authentic and spoke according to the way in which he is accustomed.

Your videos are invaluable. I plan on showing them to my sons when they get a little bit older. Please dont ever remove them.
I show them to mine, some of them don't really understand english but they start to say 'marvelous' and other melodic sounding words.
John expresses ideas we live by and try to teach to our children, so showing this videos to them helps a lot to normalize our view ( it's not the same listen to your parents say something than listen to strangers say the same thing (in john's case in a polished and refined manner) with other words).
You can download them.
Yes now on, I shall RESPOND and not REACT. Thank you John for this lesson
respond _not_ react
topdown oh typo.. thanks for correcting. Love you.
Sitansu Kumar Sinha same!! Thank you !!!!!
excellent reaction.
I'm so sick of Mastress Maclean beaming his beauty all over the universe!!! His intense gloriosity keeps me awake day and night. Please, Mastress, think of we who _need_ sleep!!!
Shane Dawson should make a series about him called "The Secret Life of John Maclean"
Selina Gintner hmm.
Yesss but i doubt John would do it.
John doesn't need one
The dark Lord is very secretive . I doubt he will participate.
Selina Gintner how about, “introducing John Maclean”? I think it would be more respectful of John’s choice to maintain areas of privacy in his life. It would also be nicer to introduce John to a greater audience, but of course this is completely up to him. That kind of exposure can create a great momentum of positive support, appreciation, and wonder in John’s skills and persona on UA-cam, but there is also the hate and negative people/attention that come along with greater exposure. We all want our beloved UA-camrs to garner the acknowledgement we feel they deserve, but not all UA-camrs want that kind of recognition and we should respect their needs and comfort zones.
how is this person only 24??HOW have you reached this level of just.. intelligence and life experience in this short time I have to believe that whoever raised him is just amazing
He said he went out of home to live in London very young, so probably he learned a lot in this process too.
You are wrong.. he is not 24
He is 24000....😁😁
He's the most amazing creature. This is my new podcast obsession. If only he'd start one. I think he's only 24 centuries. He has the knowledge of 24 light years though
I like to think he was raised by a collective of eccentric aunties
He's been 24 for 5000 years
You are such a beautiful soul. I love how you explain your displeasure with the word “ Queer”. And I love the way you suggest people discard those derogatory terms and words. Because words do have power, and they should be chosen carefully and used reverently
,,I shall also caption the link here´´
*Parts the pazific ocean*
He parted my gaze - can't miss an opportunity to see those hands
I love what you said about the word "queer"
So interesting
I though of black people using the N word towards each other
Yes you’re claiming the word and ‘owning’ it, but if oppressors has never called you that as a negative term, you wouldn’t be using it.... therefore adopting the word is still giving them power in a way.
I’m not black and it’s generally not my oppression but I found it a very interesting thought exercise.
I’ve never seen a JM video before this one but I was not expecting this and am so surprised and impressed. I’ve never seen a beauty personality on UA-cam so well spoken and intelligent.
Much respect. ✊🏻
fatima Ali
I agree with you
I’m broken hearted when I hear some stories and I’m not insensitive
But using that word isn’t helping anything except keeping that stereotype or history alive
Professor R. Chaos i am black and i never say it. I feel like those who do are kind of hypocritical or fooling themselves somewhat if they still get upset when a non black person uses that word. If a word has the ability to make you feel a certain way if the "wrong" person says it then you need to realize that the problem isnt just the speaker but the word itself.
Zenymn i know right, he freaking gives the meaning of life when he talks
You seem to be confused about what he implied. A reaction means you are simply using your emotions to guide which course to take, rather than thought. No one is diminishing the problem by refusing to use a certain word or, better yet, refusing to give or take any power from it. Language is communication, not ideas, and as such, it is subjected to a myriad of different channels that might or might not aid its ultimate goal. The point here is: there is a problem, but acting like an irrational spoiled brat isn't solving it, as you can see, since you haven't, and neither has anyone. Until you can question and effectively counter someone's reasoning by usage of rational response, you are as good as useless to the cause, and you are effectively doing more hard than good. Reconsider, and maybe take John's advice and "edit", perhaps then people will be more willing to understand.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE ANSWER RE: BLACK CLOTHING ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes I was dying LOL.. John is soo fabulous
that had me thinking, maybe this is a comedy channel
O.o o.O ha! Yea maybe. He’s definitely humorous enough to have a comedy channel lol 😂
I had to find it again for my fiance and now he understands
I have a new response people when they complain that I wear too much black 😂
I love how he sorts of elaborates further from the question and then goes back to answer it directly. It makes every point he tries to explain very clear.

James is a young artist. Only 19. He's very extra but I do love him. John is absolutely the opposite in his energy and I agree it is so refreshing esp after a Sister video 😂
vanessa carey That's true he can be very exhausting and a little extra. He needs to calm down and focus on his opportunities before they are squandered away. This platform can be very fickle.
One day u may have millions of subscribers and the next day none.
I love that this Q and A is actual conversation of important societal concepts
Also my vocabulary has expanded because of your Filums
"My life is the norm to me. Your life is the norm to you."
Hands down, you are the wisest person on all of UA-cam. Your words are so inspiring, and tonight especially, I certainly needed to hear the bit about not molding our circumstance around those who are negative. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and your creativity with us.
Love your answer about the feminine and masculine.
I have never heard anyone , let alone someone this young speak so eloquently . It just amazes me.....
He's 24,000 years old. In what context is he young?

I came across your channel recently and I just feel blown away. You’re extremely unique and soft and mysterious, this is so refreshing from everything I’ve been watching on UA-cam.
Am I the only mortal that would *love* to see a video of John illuminating us on how to mix-and-match all the marvellous types of black he described?
Loved your comments about the power of words. Those 3k years of life certainly have given you some great insight and a depth of wisdom most don't have.

Honestly John, God bless you. I don’t know if you realize this, but you’re a beacon of light in a world of darkness. Thank you, just thank you.
I’m so happy you were summoned, John. ❤️
I agree wholeheartedly on your views about educating children about self responsibility and discipline. To fight against any sort of enslavement. Very insightful.

I absolutely love John's answer regarding the use of the word "queer". It is quite thought provoking and well said. I agree with him. Liberty is fundamental.
I respect your take on the word queer and categorisations in general. I'm so tired of the LGBT etc community wanting to label every single orientation and gender. Ambiguity can be nice and refreshing.
Hambone Fakenameington I’m tired of people telling others how to identify. Ambiguity is allowing people to identify as queer without some kind of personal misinformed hot take.
Your icon tells me more than enough about what you think.
i do agree somewhat as the matter oftentime confuses me. but i feel as though it depends entirely on the person's preference to use them or not as it brings some of them great joy to be identified as something that isn't 'fag,' 'abomination,' or 'god's mistake.' and i do use these labels as well, but only to a limit that i shall not confuse those who have very little knowledge about the topic.
"Gender is a construct, tear it apart!" - Sasha Velour.
Jöhnny Mədına You're not wrong.
THEORY!
What if John is immortal? What if what he said in one of his filum that he was using the same item since 1400 BC was actually true? Which explains his wild range of vocabulary and knowledge. And that's why he seems like a very old soul. Because I feel like I am watching a documentary about life from a hundred year old person with so much experience.
Haha I know that's stupid, but wouldn't that be so awesome?
By the way I love you John.
I ❤ it! Good theory
What do you mean "theory"? He _is_ immortal.
Antonia Af Hällström Oh right. Lol
I’ve never thought an immortal human was possible until I found John. I’m utterly convinced that he is.
I rather feel a lonely childhood, a mansion and a library myself.
Respond, not react. Individual, not a pack. YES! 💖
"the kind of climate we have now hasn't necessarily changed people's minds; the cost of being open about those prejudiced views are much higher"
I couldn't agree more. People are just less vocal about being bad people, but we're still bad people. We're still prejudiced. Part of the reason is that instead of educating ignorant people, we just shut them up, so ignorant people become fearful of voicing their ignorance and become more cemented in their ignorant ways.
Johns perspective on masculinity and femininity is perfect and it's funny to me how barely anyone is aware of it
I like it when we just sit down and talk. I'd love it if you can make this a regular thing, John.
THE DAVID ATTENBOROUGH VOICE I'M DYING LAUGHING
A new education. A worldly education. Yes John this is truly the answer. Things such as this will have the power to change the world. It must start with our young ones who must be educated in entirety. Most children are schooled in a bubble learning only what is necessary to get by on the most basic of levels.
I enjoy your video's very much, I am learning a great deal about how to put on my makeup. its about time, I am 67. i think you are wonderful and possess a great deal of wisdom and common sense. Thank you

You are a true inspiration to all of us. The black discour and the David Attenborough voice, I just cracked up laughing. You are truly one in a million. Xoxoxox
Such a HIGHLY INTELLECTUAL being! John, where were you educated? And, if I may, what was your major, or subject of study? You come across as a philosopher! Nietzsche reincarnated?
