Jacob sounds so much like our protector Akira its insane. Everyone in my system calls him the robot man because he also doesn't have emotions. He understands them and can mimic them when he is fronting but inside he is like stone
Jacob reminds me of jade from disociaDiD he's very reserved and very protective like jade shes literally said "I do not like you guys but Chloe is forcing me to make a video so here I am" I love jade because of how cold and ironically funny she is but Jacob seems to be very very sweet in his own way if that makes any sense.
Jade stated that it was her own decision to make the video as an olive branch to the Internet audience and also as an olive branch to Chloe in honor of Chloe's brave decision to make the videos in the first place. She also never said she didn't like us, but that she viewed the Internet audience as a threat. If you are going to put words in someone's mouth, please make sure that they are right words.
@@jennyevans9930 lol she did say she didn't like us word from word I knew what she meant by it and i didn't misinterpret her at all i know she sees the internet as a threat as she describes the tons of loving comments they recieve along with the horrid ones jade has a sarcastic sense of humor which i absolutely adore if u happened to assume I was saying anything OTHER THAN i love jade and jade reminds me of Jacob then ur wrong lol i was just stating my love for jade and the similarities between Jacob I don't know if you thought my comment was meant to be a derogatory one but ill stop you now and say it wasn't AT ALL. thanks for ur opinion tho?
Nah, I figured you for a supportive person! And I definitely wasn't trying to attack you. I think, honestly, that I am just really nervous about the language used around a subject that is so largely misunderstood (in this case, DID) and I read your comment as being overly general. To be honest, it's not really even my place to make that call so, in hindsight, I apologize. Peace and love on your venture through DID vids. Personally, I feel like I"m learning a lot. :)
@@jennyevans9930 honestly I'm starting to get that alot too with DiD and many disorders you really have to be careful with how you word things as to not offend anyone on another one of wyns videos about integration she talked about mistletoe and in a previous video daniel talked about how being an alter can suck sometimes and the challenges he faces as an alter I wound up commenting that "i would love to be all there friends if I had the chance even mistletoes mischevious ass lol" not realizing that even tho I meant it in a joking way it was insensitive to mistletoe seeing as everyone in the comment section usually antagonizes her over her past in the system so I completely understand what ur saying and I will try my best to word things properly the next time if it sounded as if i didn't.
This video has a different atmosphere to it, and I feel honored to be able to meet you, Jacob. The heater added to this atmosphere, I feel. In a house the place where the boiler is, is usually the deepest/most central part of that dwelling. In seeing you come out, it felt like I had travelled very close to the center of your system temporarily, and witnessed some constant and highly optimized inner workings not usually made visible. It’s hard to imagine showing that for all to see, so I want you to know I am appreciative of your ability and willingness to push yourself to do that.
As some who is aromantic and asexual or aroace and therefore unable to feel "love" in a romantic or sexual way, I see your view on love as the correct and right one! It's a contract to love even if the feelings themselves are gone but people don't see it that way! It's a contract to care and help them and yourself become a better person and it shouldn't be always built on the fickle nature of romantic and sexual attraction! It won't be for me at least but I also feel that makes it more genuine and stronger for it.
Hello! It's good to meet you, Jacob. Thank you for coming out and explaining your role (and your relationships). It seems that you've done valuable work protecting and managing the system, and I'm sure everyone is grateful!
I've always thought that someone without emotions could only ever be a fairly unstable person, but I think Jacob has proven me intensely wrong. I really do respect the role Jacob plays in your system, as well as Jacob as a person in general. While he may not have emotion, he genuinely cares and clearly takes love and marriage more seriously than some singular people who do have emotions. That's more than most can say, and that deserves some major props. I also really admire his ability to identify where the extreme emotions may cause issues and where they're innocent, that's something I can't even do with my own emotions. Can't wait to meet the rest of your system!
Hello Jacob, pleased to meet you! Sounds like a hard existence not having emotions... on the other hand living with extremely overwhelming emotions can be difficult to... sounds like you’re doing a great job though 👍💜
Nice to meet you Jacob! What a lovely introduction. It was very thought out and I love how much detail went into explaining your role in the inner world. It was very interesting to listen to and I'm glad you decided to make this video. I enjoyed how explanatory it was and it was a perfect way to introduce yourself to us. Also thank you to Wyn for elaborating on Kit and Jacobs relationship ^^ I can't wait to see more content from you all, as a new subscriber, this channel has become one of my favorites
Thanks Jacob, it was really great to meet you after hearing so much about you. You gave me an better understanding as to what you do and why you do that. My question for you Jacob is: how do you know when its times to give Wyn a particular memory? Give her more pieces to parts of her past?
It involves a complex assessment of who the memory belongs too, how much they can can handle emotionally, and how much outside stress is effecting Wyn’s ability to remain emotionally stable. The Littles hold the most traumatic memories and they experience high levels of fear recounting their tales. Any time memory work is conducted in therapy, Jonathan is present and gives the Littles’ small bits of their memory back. Then the Little shares that experience with Wyn. When they’ve had as much as they can handle, the Little will usually pull away or give other verbal and non verbals signs that they’ve reached their limit. At that point, Jonathan recollects the bits of memory and returns them to the chest. Wyn is able to remember hearing about the memory so she is able to put together the puzzle of her past without the extreme emotional disruption that would be cause by releasing the memory completely. -Jacob
Thank you Jacob, for replying. This helps me understand even more than before. It sounds like a very long slow moving process. But I guess it would have to be when dealing with past trauma.
Lovely to meet you Jacob! You seem so intelligent, like a deep thinker with deep vast knowledge. Knowledge that has come from years and years of studying and being vigilant and aware. I am grateful that Wyn and The Entropy System has you to look out for them. I'm also Grateful that the system is in a place where you don't need to front so much anymore. That sounds like things are stable which pleases me as what I know of you all you're such kind smart decent people and you all deserve to be at peace.
Wow Jacob, that was explained perfectly. Thank you for explaining how you and Jonathan run and protect the system. It was a pleasure to meet you and again thank you for your time and attention.
Oh wow Jacob, it’s so awesome to meet you and hear about your role in your system! Funnily enough some of us who don’t front often at all have been talking about wanting to make videos about their experiences too 😲 This was definitely great encouragement for them!
Jacob sounds like Megabyte, whos one of my alters. He describes himself as being a cyber-guy whatever, practical, strong, but with no emotion. I found myself to be (the host) of system a couple months ago, I don't have a med official diagnosis yet, I was attended too badly by a doctor that was disrespectful in a level that affected the whole system and made a (very angry) body protector take front in front of my mom and sis, smth I was trying to avoid at all costs, but happened.
Jacob, the way you worded your description of love is so beautiful, that it can never again be replicated. That is the perfect and accurate description of the most beautiful love ever imaginable, and I wish you and Jonathan much happiness in your future together.
Thank you Jacob for coming to share! I am very excited to see understand more about what your role is within The System! Just thank you all so much for helping me understand more about DID, I was always confused when I heard about it, Your Family (System) has been so helpful in my learning. So just thank you again( sorry I said that a lot)
Nice to put a voice so to speak to the memory gatekeeper. Wish you luck with your marriage cause relationships are hard! Oh and good luck with the trama Wyn! You got a person rooting for you in Indiana. In the reassuring words of Darren Shan, may you be triumphant even in death!
Astonishing how different persons, totally different auras can co-exist in one body; equally fascinating how usually these different parts integrate into a cohesive whole one person.
Hello Jacob! I think I relate to what you are saying about love a lot. I also find your relationship with Jonathan absolutely what relationships should be and have major respect to you for working so hard to maintain order. Thank you for coming out to meet us! Hope to see more of you!
I have no idea what made him come out. I read a comment asking if you all would ever meet him or Jonathan or Josh (that wasn’t the first comment of its kind by any means) and suddenly my memory goes fuzzy and I have a new video to edit. I imagine he wanted to give a balanced view of our world to everyone. Regardless, I’m happy he chose to do it! -Wyn
The Entropy System I am 32, and newly disagnosed with DID. How did you initially reach your system. So far, my husband has been able to reach 2 alters, while I have only reached one through journaling. I am starting to feel this hopelessness that I will never be able to reach them. They only come out during therapy with no co consciencess. I feel like a hopeless anxiety about it that counters on desperation.
Nice to meet you. I'm glad you stabilize , I don't have DID but I wish I had you to balance me, I would have had less problems. Thank you for making this video☺
My second question for you Jacob is: when you and Jonathan were introducing yourselves to Wyn and used popular shows in altering Wyn's dreams, ex: The Winchester Brothers from Supernatural, in those dreams did you stick with the idea of the show to help Wyn know she's very capable in solving problems, or did you change parts of the popular shows you were using to tailor them around Wyn specifically so that she could without a doubt learn she was capable in figuring things out and problem solving.
The characters we disguised ourselves as were the only things we borrowed from the shows. Everything else was personalized for Wyn. Using pop culture forms was, in Jonathan’s opinion, the best way to make the lessons of the dreams stay with her. -Jacob
Thanks again Jacob. That makes a lot of sense. Thats how I personally am able to understand certain things better. I really enjoyed meeting you and learning from you. Its wonderful to meet you and I hope we see more of you in the future :).
What a beautiful way to think of marriage! My husband doesn’t have a mental disorder, but he’s less emotionally loving and more supportive. He shows his love through subtleties rather than grand romantic gestures. Thank you for talking about yourself and reminding me of this.
You're very intense. Your eyes are unforgiving. You're very straightforward and to the point. I can see where that balance is needed, as everyone needs that median that reels in every emotion before they get out of control. For that, I respect what you do and the role you play. I like how you work together with Jonathan to create a better world for Wyn in general. Being a highly spiritual (not religious) person, I view love differently than you. Love is felt in every facet of life and beyond. It's shared with all flora and fauna. It's the abundance of positivity. It's what we all should feel for ourselves and each other. It's compassion, empathy, sympathy, affection, joy, laughter, happiness all rolled into one. It's the presence of a clearer understanding of self and universal energy. Love is oneness. Love is beauty of the soul. It's what we're naturally meant to feel more than anything else. I think Jonathan would be the one suited to teach Wyn to love herself, because she needs it desperately. I'm sure her husband tries his best to show her every single day that she's an amazing person who deserves love. I know you're the more logical, grounded, and rather cynical side of Wyn who understands the negative sides of life and how they can impact a person in the wrong ways. You're the one that tries to talk friends out of doing something they might regret later, but you're also willing to see that the emotions are necessary. It's like you're structured to allow little to no margin of error, which, in of itself, can be detrimental to the host. Everyone will make mistakes and get hurt. Jonathan knows that all too well. But, much like a child, we all need to learn that mistakes are okay and that wounds, whether mental or physical, will heal if we let them. Wyn, and everyone else with DID, have many mental blockages that were created to protect their little minds. Now that they're adults, therapy is necessary to bring forth the painful trauma in a healthy way so that the mind doesn't need protecting anymore. I know that alters seems to have this idea that they will somehow not be necessary or important when they integrate. If Mistletoe's integration has taught me anything, it's that, when they fuse with the host, they're more present than ever, because they are now one with the host. That is incredibly important, as you're all just pieces of her, after all. What's best for Wyn is best for the system and I think the Protectors know this, which is why integration is always agreed upon as the goal the majority of the time. If you guys stay too attached to being separate and your own people, the host can't ever heal from the trauma. The fragments of her past need to piece together like a puzzle, which is why you're all different, yet work well together.
Jacob:- first, nice to meet you. Although I myself don't have DID, I do have, for want of a better word, facets. One of those facets is my intellectual self, as a result of many years studying the biological sciences at a academic level, and astronomy, philosophy, and politics, as a kinda hobby. As studying, effectively, the human biological sciences, is not only a bit dry, but you have to take damn seriously to get decent grades. I remember having to use so many textbooks, that my tiny desk couldn't handle, that I retreated to the not often used dining room in my parents house. For every paper written, I would cite at least half-dozen textbooks as my primary source, where some would only use two. In order to understand, say, how cellular respiration works at a molecular level, means wrapping my mind around a chain of independent chemical reactions that sequentially feeds into the next. And the only way to do that, is to block off my emotions, and focus. Listening to the amazing music of J.S. Bach* on my portible CD player (hey, this was 1997, when I was 23 ... yes, I am that old ...) helped enormously ... and certainly cut out the noise of my mum clanging around the kitchen next door ... So when I listen to you, you remind me of my stoic, almost withdrawn, state when I was up to my shoulders in classes on Pathology, Medical Microbiology, Immunology, and much else ... Sadly, after the inevitable tsunami of my Trauma hit me, I had to drop out at my second year. Now at 44, I am contemplating starting over, and finnish my undergrad degree I never had, & who knows, a Masters after that, and even, if I live that long, a Ph.D ... Speaking of which, a word to the wise: I once knew a pair of Ph.D candidates who not long completed effectivly their Masters year(s); you could tell that they were pretty drained already, with the hard part still yet to come. If Wyn does get her Masters placement, she is going to need your strength to get through it. I know this sounds weird saying this, but I wish I knew you in real life. I don't get to talk about complex subjects much these days( such as the merits of Hagel vs Seneca ...) ... Anyway, take care, and I hope I do see you again in the future. [*= Pro-tip: Bach, especially his instrumental works, is a balm to the soul. If you ever need a calming 'musical wallpaper' to act as colourful skyscape when in deep study mode, I can't think of anything else I rather listen to ... ]
May I ask what medications have impacted your access to influence dreams? Are they medications designed to help with nightmares? I'm just very curious when it comes to how meds can impact various alters roles and abilities. Are there meds that you or others have found to benefit one, but have a negative effect on another alter? How do you negotiate and balance if something like that happens?
I just went form Jonathan's video talking about how much he helps and how sweet he is and how he tries not to make things unstable I changing forms too much to Jacobs where the first thing you say is how is how unstable he made things. Also the way he said "smoky... MAN"... He thinks you're real hot
V01D: You remind me of myself. I do not feel much emotion but I find that my husband Bill makes me feel something I cannot describe. Bill: Love you too, sweet pea
On the MBTI scale I am 92% feeling, which means I have a lot of emotion. But something I have discovered is that Love is not based off of emotion. And thank goodness for that because emotions fail and are temporary. But love is truth and eternal. I could never describe what love truly is. It's truth.
Hi Jacob, i feel very honered to get to know you. I hace a question, do your lack of emotions came from your memories as a individual? Or you It has no conection to your memories/past knowldege?
Despite your not having emotion. You care. And with that, I respect you.
Jacob sounds so much like our protector Akira its insane. Everyone in my system calls him the robot man because he also doesn't have emotions. He understands them and can mimic them when he is fronting but inside he is like stone
I didn't expect to come out of this video with a new perspective of marriage and love, but here I am lol
I literally read this as he said it lol
Jacob reminds me of jade from disociaDiD he's very reserved and very protective like jade shes literally said "I do not like you guys but Chloe is forcing me to make a video so here I am" I love jade because of how cold and ironically funny she is but Jacob seems to be very very sweet in his own way if that makes any sense.
Jade stated that it was her own decision to make the video as an olive branch to the Internet audience and also as an olive branch to Chloe in honor of Chloe's brave decision to make the videos in the first place.
She also never said she didn't like us, but that she viewed the Internet audience as a threat.
If you are going to put words in someone's mouth, please make sure that they are right words.

This video has a different atmosphere to it, and I feel honored to be able to meet you, Jacob.
The heater added to this atmosphere, I feel. In a house the place where the boiler is, is usually the deepest/most central part of that dwelling.

It’s hard to imagine showing that for all to see, so I want you to know I am appreciative of your ability and willingness to push yourself to do that.
Jennifer Sundt **honored!!!** that’s a great word to describe meeting him! I feel the same way! One of my favorite members of this system :)
As some who is aromantic and asexual or aroace and therefore unable to feel "love" in a romantic or sexual way, I see your view on love as the correct and right one! It's a contract to love even if the feelings themselves are gone but people don't see it that way! It's a contract to care and help them and yourself become a better person and it shouldn't be always built on the fickle nature of romantic and sexual attraction! It won't be for me at least but I also feel that makes it more genuine and stronger for it.
Thanks for writing this for me lol im also aro ace lol
Hi Jacob, it was nice to see you made a video. Thank you for introducing yourself to us. Take care. -Dani
I agree with you Jacob. Love is not an emotion. It come partnered with sexual and emotional /romantic lust but love itself is an action, a commitment.
I actually gasped when I saw the title! 🙊
I had a feeling that I'd like Jacob. So mysterious and serious. I like how he talks about things.
Hello! It's good to meet you, Jacob. Thank you for coming out and explaining your role (and your relationships). It seems that you've done valuable work protecting and managing the system, and I'm sure everyone is grateful!
Nice to meet you, Jacob!
So basically this is dissociation with a face
I immediately thought of a Vulcans. Thanks for sharing. You're great.
your view on love is so grounded. more people should follow that view.
I've always thought that someone without emotions could only ever be a fairly unstable person, but I think Jacob has proven me intensely wrong.

Aaaaaaaaand now I visualize you as Sheldon.

Hello Jacob! Nice to meet you. Thank you for sharing your role in the system, I found it interesting to here your thoughts. :)
Thank you for sharing Jacob!
Wow Jacob, that was explained perfectly. Thank you for explaining how you and Jonathan run and protect the system. It was a pleasure to meet you and again thank you for your time and attention.

Awh damn I'm glad to see Jacob I wanted to see him front but they remind me of one of my own Alters- Zero.

Thank you for both introducing yourself. It is much appreciated
Wyn is so very fortunate to have you and Jonathan in her system!
I don’t know why but you remind me so much of Mr. Darcy.....And I love it!

If Mistletoe's integration has taught me anything, it's that, when they fuse with the host, they're more present than ever, because they are now one with the host. That is incredibly important, as you're all just pieces of her, after all. What's best for Wyn is best for the system and I think the Protectors know this, which is why integration is always agreed upon as the goal the majority of the time. If you guys stay too attached to being separate and your own people, the host can't ever heal from the trauma. The fragments of her past need to piece together like a puzzle, which is why you're all different, yet work well together.
Jacob:- first, nice to meet you.
Although I myself don't have DID, I do have, for want of a better word, facets. One of those facets is my intellectual self, as a result of many years studying the biological sciences at a academic level, and astronomy, philosophy, and politics, as a kinda hobby. As studying, effectively, the human biological sciences, is not only a bit dry, but you have to take damn seriously to get decent grades. I remember having to use so many textbooks, that my tiny desk couldn't handle, that I retreated to the not often used dining room in my parents house. For every paper written, I would cite at least half-dozen textbooks as my primary source, where some would only use two.
In order to understand, say, how cellular respiration works at a molecular level, means wrapping my mind around a chain of independent chemical reactions that sequentially feeds into the next. And the only way to do that, is to block off my emotions, and focus. Listening to the amazing music of J.S. Bach* on my portible CD player (hey, this was 1997, when I was 23 ... yes, I am that old ...) helped enormously ... and certainly cut out the noise of my mum clanging around the kitchen next door ...
So when I listen to you, you remind me of my stoic, almost withdrawn, state when I was up to my shoulders in classes on Pathology, Medical Microbiology, Immunology, and much else ...
Sadly, after the inevitable tsunami of my Trauma hit me, I had to drop out at my second year. Now at 44, I am contemplating starting over, and finnish my undergrad degree I never had, & who knows, a Masters after that, and even, if I live that long, a Ph.D ...
Speaking of which, a word to the wise: I once knew a pair of Ph.D candidates who not long completed effectivly their Masters year(s); you could tell that they were pretty drained already, with the hard part still yet to come. If Wyn does get her Masters placement, she is going to need your strength to get through it.
I know this sounds weird saying this, but I wish I knew you in real life. I don't get to talk about complex subjects much these days( such as the merits of Hagel vs Seneca ...) ...
Anyway, take care, and I hope I do see you again in the future.
[*= Pro-tip: Bach, especially his instrumental works, is a balm to the soul. If you ever need a calming 'musical wallpaper' to act as colourful skyscape when in deep study mode, I can't think of anything else I rather listen to ... ]
May I ask what medications have impacted your access to influence dreams? Are they medications designed to help with nightmares? I'm just very curious when it comes to how meds can impact various alters roles and abilities. Are there meds that you or others have found to benefit one, but have a negative effect on another alter? How do you negotiate and balance if something like that happens?
Kinda feels like meeting the god of the system
Wow! Nice to meet you, Jacob!
I just went form Jonathan's video talking about how much he helps and how sweet he is and how he tries not to make things unstable I changing forms too much to Jacobs where the first thing you say is how is how unstable he made things. Also the way he said "smoky... MAN"... He thinks you're real hot
He says he lacks emotions but it sounds like he’s on the verge of tears
have you ever met an apathetic person? You might have mistaken them for sad.
@@lizabrannon8022 Cold is not the same as apathetic. He obviously cares, or else he would not bother.
Wow this is amazing... I didn’t know any of this about you!
I like your definition of love
I'm confused, if Jacob has no feelings, what motivates his actions?
Ok but he is basically the king of swords in tarot ✨
Love is a Promise.-Doctor Who, couldn't agree with you more than I do now!
V01D: You remind me of myself. I do not feel much emotion but I find that my husband Bill makes me feel something I cannot describe.
Bill: Love you too, sweet pea
Jacob, I agree that love is more a commitment than an emotion. Love in my mind originates from God in my understanding.
Nice to meet you!
Due to what's "out there", I was actually cautiously hopeful after watching one of your videos but that's changed. People with DID know. 😏
On the MBTI scale I am 92% feeling, which means I have a lot of emotion. But something I have discovered is that Love is not based off of emotion. And thank goodness for that because emotions fail and are temporary. But love is truth and eternal. I could never describe what love truly is. It's truth.
Jacob! I'm so happily Finley getting to meet you! 💞
Thank you for this video, love how you care
Yay I've met the gay farthers!!
Will you guys make a video with Jonathan in it I would love to meet him I also think others would to.
I was happy to finally meet you Josh thanks for coming out and making a video for us.😊
I relate to Jacob I also don’t have emotion -Jake
Hi Jacob, i feel very honered to get to know you. I hace a question, do your lack of emotions came from your memories as a individual? Or you It has no conection to your memories/past knowldege?
Wow. It's been really busy in there between Dr. Mann and Jacob! But why was this edit so choppy?
I've always said
Love is a state of mind
Not
An emotion 😉
