Seem to me that many people are also running on AI. Not many do their own thinking. They would rather have "someone" else do their thinking and make their choices.
The scrap community on youtube is like a high school cool kids click. They all have to talk the same, use the same catch phrases, do the same thing, call their trucks wagons, ect. its pretty lame. they act like they made $10,000,000,000 off junk when they got like $30. plus a lot dont even know what they are doing. There are a few that scrap professionally on youtube, but most are wanna be'sQuote:

Wayne's World, Wayne's World...
Some of the YouTube programing is mostly people looking for FAME and maybe fortune. It's like ALL else where very FEW make it. It's mostly the SMART above average IQ are the one's that make it somewhere they wanted to go. There are a few "one hit wonders" as it's surprising what people can find entertaining.
Come on Eileen.
But back to the YouTube. I have noticed that many of the content is much like the so called "reality programs" that are mostly made up fictions that many choose to believe is some form of "reality".
I have watched those that find great deals in storage units or junk cars. And I have watched where they didn't find much of value, but they act like it was a treasure hunt.
I have never wanted to be famous or filthy rich as I was more interested LIVING within real reality. Some might say that sounds boring and non achieving, BUT how many truly happy people are there out in this BU$Y world?
Whew ... youtube is pretty diverse. It's like this huge library of mankind's knowledge. I suppose you could say that about the internet as well.
As far as the scrapping videos go ? There are all different kinds. I suppose you've got to consider what people's aims are in producing the content. There's generally not all that much money in scrapping. If you did hit on something profitable then you wouldn't want to tell the whole world about it. Everyone else would want to get in on the act.
Nah ... the money has to be in producing the content. In this way ... it is kind of a popularity contest. It's not so much the content but rather the personality of the person presenting the content. Some people have really good social skills and naturally strike just the right tone with their viewers. Sometimes it's a staged persona but it's sometimes more genuine with youtube. It's just people being who they naturally are.
Real or fake ... these are a few presenters that i find agreeable to watch:
MrPete 222 seems to be a pretty good teacher.

The Why Files are pretty good to watch. Hecklefish is a hoot !

It's all just different strokes for different folks. Some people key on one thing. Other people key on something else. :)
This is the way of nature CD. It's supposed to be this way. It's all part of the grand design. There are leaders and there are followers. You see this in groups of humans, packs of wolves, pods of dolphins, herds of deer, and countless other species.Quote:

You know from your military training that there is a hierarchy. It all works when people know their place on the ladder and when people all up and down the chain exercise the proper respect for one another.
There are also outliers and outcasts in every society as well. Some people don't fit in very well. It's in their nature to be this way.
I have been watching some cats/felines that live around my place for about 3 years and I notice that there isn't much difference between cats/felines and people/humans.
I would say that you would make claim that there are BIG differences.
Well ... cats are pretty independent. They tend to be loners by nature and spend sixteen hours a day sleeping. They don't do any more than they have to. They are more like the outliers & the outcasts of society that i mentioned before.
The thing about a cat is that it thinks it's a leader but it's really just a cat. They seldom serve any kind of a useful purpose other than to keep the rat population under control.
It's the personalities of the cats that I noticed was much the same as humans. MANY different personalities is what humans also have.
You are stuck in the superstitious rut that you choose to be stuck in.
Back when I had dogs I had a large over grown "puppy" that was a female chocolate lab. She weighed over 165 pounds. But anyway she would get on the couch I liked to sleep on and wouldn't move when I wanted to lay down. She liked her groceries so I tossed a doughnut on the floor near her and watched as she would look at the doughnut then look at me. That went on for about 20 minutes or so. It was as if she wanted the doughnut to come to her or something. She wanted the doughnut, but didn't want to move from her spot. She finally got up and got the doughnut. It showed that she put a lot of thought into it.
Humans want to believe many things that are just made up rituals and stuck in a rut thinking.
You keep trying to place me in a box that you might understand in some way. The boxes are mostly man made illusions that most believe are far more then they are.
the point I was making about the cats is that they are just cats as humans are just humans and never change overall. BUT there are MANY different types of personalities.
I can't be hypnotized or profiled.
But you can.
Ever put any thought into the notion that humans have been PROGRAMED and TRAINED to be the way that they TRY to be?
WHY do humans have so MANY problems with LIFE? I'm mostly talking about the so called mental problems of many sorts.
If you look at humans closely you would find that they DON'T get along with each other so well. People ALL live, or TRY and live within their own little worlds.
They will "get in" with others when they need or want something.
I noticed that cats were much the same way.
There are what I view as country cats and city cats. Now I'm not talking about cats living in human like cities and such. I noticed that some cats like to live close to the door where the food comes out of and are pretty much always close by. Then there are the cats in the litter that choose to go elsewhere and you never see them again. Then there are the cats that come and go.
I also noticed that cats like the other cats that they choose to like and don't like some other cats.
And there is greed and anger issues. Cats go through their "mood swings" much like humans do.
And we could go on and on as to sex and food. Not much different then the way that humans ACT when they think others are not watching or paying attention.
Humans have been trained and PROGRAMED to believe "things" that are just made up illusions.

I would say he is in debt for what he has.
But anyway he could tell that I was a happy camper living the way that I chose. He could never figure me out and figured I was maybe a little off or something, as he told me once "normal people aren't supposed to be happy". I remember it as I found it a surprising statement.
It seems to me that most have similar thinking and opinions on the matter.
I have always been a people watcher and watched what people do and say. That's a part of the reason that I knew when I was 4 years old that marriage and children and many other popular concepts were not for me.
My life has gotten better as I get older as I've learned how to avoid undo stress and many other downfalls that many have. Sure I could have a accident or health problems out of the blue, but I will deal with such things when they present themselves.
For now I'm living my childhood dream and then some.
Now this is living the dream.Quote:
