      Appealing to the wholesome should not be as easy as to put on a sincere face, however. This struck me the hardest when I listened to "This is water" by David Foster Wallace, where he says wholesome, matter-of-fact things, but he had to justify them and be specific.

    I'm the same age as Luke, and it really is crazy to think back to how much we were bombarded with "if you think tv/movies/music/video games has any affect on people's behavior you must be a religious nut". On places like r*ddit you still see this sentiment never mind that 9/10 of what people were warning of in the late 90s early 2000s has become more "normal" or socially accepted. It really is some bizarre double-think phenomenon where you must ignore all of your own observations of the developments in your surroundings and just repeat the "official stance" or be shunned.

I was already debating volunteering with organizations in my local community once the lockdown and social distancing guidelines are over, but this video made me pull up a search of local organizations where I can do something to positively influence younger people and set them on a good path.

    Luke is right. There is absolutely no reason to do the degenerate things that the media wants you to do. We are responsible for setting a good example to those younger than us.
    I can speak from personal experience that drug use only worsens your problems. I can understand someone using a cannabis based salve to treat rheumatoid arthritis but getting high doesn't help.
    Its only by the grace of God that I've got a family and a decent career. My life could've gone sideways and I'm extremely blessed that it didn't.
    I just want younger guys (and girls) to understand that its important to live your life by principles. As a Christian, I get mine from the bible. I would absolutely love if everyone were to give their lives to Jesus Christ but I know that won't happen.

    Agreed.
    There's no age restriction in media in general, but especially online.
    Anybody who makes the choice to be a public personality has their own part in shaping what is acceptable in the minds of the younger people in their audience, whether they like it or not. Put something on adult sites, or make it so you need to log in - a fourth grader with an iPhone will still be able to find absolutely anything if they choose.
    Everybody needs to know that any time you do something publicly, kids will see and you will be a model. In an era where media is often so pornified or amoral, it's all the more important to model good behavior.

I don't think I have a say about relationships, because I don't really understand them fully, but I do feel like there's a lot of truth behind what you're saying.

    This is so true. Love the Chad Bible thumbnail btw.
    I made a few stupid decisions at college because I convinced myself that I shouldn't be so "uptight".
    After making those I regret them and I realize that it's time to make better decisions and be more outspoken about the fact that there are right decisions and wrong decisions. Morals aren't relative and to imply so is to be intentionally closing your eyes.
    When Luke says "You know what's degenerate" it's really easy to play dumb, but deep down we do know what is and isn't degenerate because morals aren't relative. There is absolute truth out there.
    Thank you Luke!

    I think I mostly agree on what you said and you did well making a vid like that. I think we need public figures that promote creativity, research and knowledge. But, since I've seen this subtly promoted on other vids of yours as well, I feel like I need to say a few things. Being religious or going to the church isn't necessary for developing morals and ethics. A person that thinks critically can in most cases determine what is moral and what isn't. Being restricted by a set of rules that somehow represent the absolute goodness is not a way of life I would like to go by and I don't believe it's pedagogical or constructive for humanity. After all, morality is neither property nor a creation of Christianity. I think that being a good person has nothing to do with religion (if that were the case, Christianity and the others have failed miserably) but rather the environment in which someone grew up and his/her personality and his/her willingness to accept new ideas and change. Religion enforces its ideas through fear and this is something I'm really against. I 'm not saying I'm against everything it represents, I'm just saying that you don't need a guide to be good. You can be good by just by being good :)

      The entire issue is that people are being sold this delusion of: "Be rational and 'think for yourself' and live life and learn on your own terms," and then they end up wasting their lives and at most learned what we should've just told them in the first place. In most cases, people are to arrogant to admit that their libidos were the wrong guide. This is the exact recipe of breaking everyone that has gotten us here.

    • @nasosvoutouras8517
      @nasosvoutouras8517 4 роки тому +9

      ​@@LukeSmithxyz I don't think I can agree on that. People who constantly make bad decisions clearly lack critical thinking, i.e. they lack the ability to think of the consequences of their actions and how these will influence their life and the lives of the others around them. This happens either because they acted somewhat impulsively or they did a bad estimation (or none at all) on the outcome. Religion or not i think people who act like that will eventually make some bad decisions.
      Being a degenerate is not only a result of a person being "bad" but a consequence of many things. Yeah well some people are douches by nature but these people aren't the norm. For me it is not a "religion vs no religion" thing but rather "knowledge and constant self development/improvement vs ignorance and laziness". The last two lead to various non desirable outcomes. The willingness to change for the better is a major factor for developing as a human.
      Also, one last thing I have to say is that we're generalizing a lot and these things aren't absolute.

      I feel that morals don't carry any weight when they aren't stemming from the Judeo Christian God. The human impression of what is morally right and wrong shifts. Hitler thought he was in the right and he had reasons to justified his actions. which demonstrates we can't trust our own judgment. which is why you'd want to base your morals on something other then yourself.
      But I think I agree. Morals shouldn't be acted out mealy because you're told to just do it. which a lot of churches tend to do.

I would point to this ua-cam.com/video/0uBqkZ-m3XI/v-deo.html explanation because he explains it much better then I'd be able to. in short, the meaning of the word 'Slave' has changed and is now defined differently from what it was in the Bible. there were two definitions of slave used. one similar to what we have now which was condemned in Exodus 21:16, and the other which was similar to the relationship of an employee to an employer.
      Commandment the 6th is another extremely complex question. it should be stated that it is Murder which is forbidden (taking another humans life unjustly) not just killing anything. this is saying to not hate someone so much you wish for their death. To not hate is the main point. which is addressed in John 3:15. other then this I don't have a good answer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
      I _know_ without being told that murdering is wrong and that's good enough for me for now. Romans 2:15 speaks to this in that 'the law is written on their hearts'. or that we have a moral compass set by God and we can choose to ignore it or follow it.
      Another possible reason is you're stealing the life given to another person, but I don't know if that's backed up anywhere.
      Sorry I can't give anything more conclusive then that, It's never been a question I got hung up on.

      The bigger problem is that people enforce the mentality that youth is automatically innocence. They think kids don't have in ate worldly instincts of their own. They lie cover up the world to children rather than say it like it is.
      Believe it or not, children were less innocent before TV and Internet. The idea of childhood being a sanctuary from worldly evil is a 18th century invention. Kids back then were exposed and trained to worldly things. You had boys whom were familiar with alcohol and cigars at age ten. They saw animals mating and death. They saw brawlers every night.
      Putting innocence as an inherent value onto children isn't good.
      Children don't need innocence, they need guidance.
