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
3:36 Your point here is exactly why I got out of IT/Industrial maintenance work. I was helping millionaires meet quotas and goals I cared nothing about while losing my love for tech. I quit and got a job as far from tech support as I could get, albeit with lower pay, but I have more time to work on my own pursuits which is far more valuable to me. My scope of reality became a lot clearer when I realized my job didn't define me. Just because you have a knack for something doesn't mean it has to be a career.

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.
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.
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.

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).
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.
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.
@@seppa1671 thanks for your reply I tried but found out he'd transferred all of it into his gfs name and so it wasn't worth losing even more money to go through the courts and end up getting nothing back in the end either way ☹️
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.
Even if you have 1 colleague on the same wave with you it makes you feel that you are not alone against "the system" and then its surprisingly easier to say No to whatever they force on you. Now imagine having a community of my clones. It would have been a tremendous advantage for this planet, guys! Please work on it.
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.
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.
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.

You'd be a fool to think nothing conspiratorial has happened before.

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.

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? ;)

>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.
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.
Help your mom, dirtbag
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.
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 TH-cam dude
Got rejected from a programming job once because they thought I would be too ecclectic and would get bored.

@@Sputnikcosmonot Thank you my friend. Will do.
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 .
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 advice nobody wants to give, but everybody needs to hear
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.
Some will say in their deathbed: „I should have bought more crypto money.“
Luke, I have no words to express how much I lose it when you do the high pitch voice
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.

@@mrbrad4637 Sorry to hear that, mate. Can't you go after him legally to take back your money?
@@seppa1671 thanks for your reply I tried but found out he'd transferred all of it into his gfs name and so it wasn't worth losing even more money to go through the courts and end up getting nothing back in the end either way ☹️
@@mrbrad4637 I'm sorry, buddy. Money comes and goes. I hope you'll become rich soon. Take care!
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.
When I die I’m gonna regret not consuming more tv shows on [insert streaming service]
Even if you have 1 colleague on the same wave with you it makes you feel that you are not alone against "the system" and then its surprisingly easier to say No to whatever they force on you. Now imagine having a community of my clones. It would have been a tremendous advantage for this planet, guys! Please work on it.
These luke smith outros are legendary.

6:39 Heavy Moldbug influence breaking through.
My eyebrows raised at that too
not sure which part of that is supposed to be moldbug, is it the overall talk on 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.
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.
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.
It's hard to resist the modern world temptations. People want to buy the latest iPhone and Playstation. Even if it means selling their souls.
Thank you, this is the message that I have been thinking about, grateful you vocalize it.
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.
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
Same
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.

Counter-point: "Richer" means you've saved enough money that you can spend more time with your family.
And take care of your friends and family!
Saving = Buying Freedom
@@shaurz Saving is not always enough to buy freedom.
Richer means you've spend to much time chasing money that could be spend having a normal life.

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.
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 😂🌍
Thank you Luke - you convey all my thoughts much more elegantly than I can
being a tutor is incredibly fun. i have no interest in being a professor though.
Saw the thumbnail in my feed. Was happy for 1 second

Better to live one day as a gigachad than 100 years as a soyjack.
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.
Why did you kill Gabby Petito?

Nice man, keep living the dream
Least? Try Belarus, lol
@@bedgegog yeah i mean if by least you mean being a pathetic Russian puppet state than yes you've got this one bro.
@barnoftheyard Country is "gay" because muh game that i was very hyped for was bad.
@@VincenzoMGREX Funny, with Poland being a US puppet state, and being to cuck to exit the EU because not wanting to miss those nice billions from big mama Merkel. Face it, we in the EU are all cucks instead of standing up. All hypocrits to choose money instead of standing up against the corrupt corpse that is the EU. We are in no position to point fingers, only to ourselfs.
I really want to hear about the humiliation of professors. 😁
Please write a book bro

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.
Brilliant video. The world needs more content like this. One question which springs to mind is *why* we will not regret sticking to our principles on our death bed.
how high shall we jump, Luke?
Anyone know if Lindy press will ever accept cryptocurrency payments for the books??
