Next WhatufAltHist video: "uhm actually WE DO only use 10% of our brain*"
*according to a medical-phrenology textbook from 1923 my dad read to me during breakfast*
Title haven't aged well, he released "The Coming Incel Revolution"
Millions must go to the Spirit World
I was just about to mention this lol saying there's going to be a r*pe crisis & then begs us women to rethink our positions because apparently women must give men sex or they become violent, war mongering r*pists when the Civil War 2.0 happens like, wtf is this guy on? Is he okay!? It's like he WANTS this to happen ffs like Jesus Christ my guy lol
it got nuked lol. Wouldnt be surprising youtube took it down. I watched it yesterday tho, nothing unhinged, despite his tendency to get carried away "finding trends", he makes solid (and inconvenient) points
@Ralphoifyful you only believe this because you're underaged

36:45 as a linguist, I can help you with that😂
Languages have a pattern in developing the word for a specific shade of color, not all languages have a word for the specific shade. Often, for example, blue and green are identified with a singular word, of course, people could tell the difference, there was just one word for it😂 it’s like how we still call “blue” colours such as “celeste” or “aquamarine” or whatever, because there is an “umbrella tag” we use for them. But Rudyard being Rudyard he assumes “they have no concept of it”.
Fun fact, linguists had to debunk a bunch of racists scientists who claimed some African tribe where “less evolved” (aka not really human…) because “they cannot see blue!” Of course, the idiots translated the word they use for blue/green shades as “green” and assumed they saw the object as green, because racism.
not a linguist, but an amateur linguistics enthusiast with a formal background in biology here, I've had to debunk dumb shit of the "___ don't see blue because they haven't evolved the ability yet" several times in my life. Never mind that actual blue-yellow colorblindness is actually significantly more rare than red-green colorblindness, so obviously *most* humans have the biological capacity to see blue and have for millions of years, we *know* this, it is not at all controversial or debated. Like I've also heard word for word "Ancient Egyptians literally couldn't see blue because they had no word for it, blue gems on jewelry looked black to them [first off, how tf would anyone even know this???]", I think it's usually based off of some kind of pop culture distortion of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, although iirc there was also some other random scholar back in the day who forwarded the concept that ancient civilizations in general had no conception of blue, and were thus fundamentally unable to see it, based on the fact that he couldn't find any overt references to anything blue in the Iliad or Odyssey (obviously, this was actually because Homeric Greek didn't distinguish clearly between green and blue, like you mention; blue things are generally uncommon enough in nature that treating those shades linguistically as unusual shades of green usually suffices unless a given culture starts producing a lot of blue dye). "Ancient/'primitive' people couldn't/can't see blue" is one of the fastest ways to single out pseudointellectuals, imo.
@@vanessaashford9203 yeah it’s a very common take among pseudo intellectuals and people who do not look into the “fun trivia” before repeating it. Unfortunately many of similar nonsense are often overlooked.
Small note, this ideas are 100% “Sapyr-Worf related”, but it’s not a “pop culture distortion of the Sapyr-Worf hypothesis”, but the original version of the hypothesis, as both Sapyr and Worf were… well, very racist.
You know the myth that Inuit people have a lot of words for white/snow? It came from Sapyr’s “study” (which is the first time is hypothesis is formalised) on their languages where he claims Inuit people can see more shades of white then other people because of the many words for it. It took one person to actually look into is work to realise he didn’t knew Inuit languages feature agglutination, so words merge into one in certain context (he probably didn’t even know about the phenomenon). So Sapyr was counting word as “snowman” and “snowball” as a different word from “snow”, despite just containing it. In an experiment applying is methods to English, turns out English has plenty of words for “snow” and “white”, especially if, as Sapyr did, you count in words for “ice” and “blizzard”.
Modern supporters of the Sapyr-Worf hypothesis had to make a huge clean up of the whole racist nonsense it was full of. Of course, there are some merits to the modern version of it, but that is one of the major reasons why it’s called “hypothesis” and not “theory” as it’s the case for other major frameworks in the sector (like Chomsky’s “universal grammar”, for example). The racist nonsense was used as proof, without it the thesis can’t be presented as theory, therefore it’s just an hypothesis. So it’s not a popolar misunderstanding, but the actual application of the older version of the theory.
Whatifalthis? More like what if he took his damn meds
"What would youtube look like today if Whatifalthist was institutionalized?"
He is what happens when a doomsday prepper raises a child
Rudyard trying not to mention his PTSD challenge *IMPOSSIBLE*
@@MD71198 yeah it's pretty amazing how stuff he has said in his videos has over time given me a significantly negative view of his *parents* , like that's a level of personal insight you won't get from most other TH-camrs, apart from maybe Chrischan.
I don't think he knows the difference between saturated and unsaturated fats.
he probably thinks trans fats are some kind of woke conspiracy
I love what if alt hist and spirit science. There is something beautiful about sincerely deranged people that are not grifting they are in their own world. TH-cam used to have way more of them
I don't know if I'd assume Spirit Science is "not grifting". The guy literally started a cult, a pretty abusive one from what I've heard (although "abusive cult" kind of feels like a redundant phrase in general).
"The greeks didn't have concepts of the color blue or red." this comes from the line in the Iliad "The wine-dark sea" which seems to suggest the color word they would use to describe the color of wine and the color of the sea was the same, but actually, the more likely explanation than that humans' conception of color has changed that far, is that "wine-dark" referred to a quality of the water, not its color. The shifting and shimmering nature of flowing and moving water, that it swirled and foamed in the same way you might see fresh poured wine flowing and moving in a cup or as it dispenses from a barrel. It's like, basic metaphor that is somewhat odd to the modern ear, but not incomprehensible.
This guy is going to be reborn in 2000 years and read the phrase, "I came to a fork in the road, and I took it." and have his mind absolutely blown.
Like I mentioned above, some philologist (or maybe he was something else? I forget) iirc actually wrote a whole book about color words in the Homeric epics, and forwarded this notion that people in antiquity somehow couldn't see blue because blue was never clearly referenced in the epics, but in fact the Greek word *khloros* was historically used to refer to both greens *and* blues (I believe in Modern Greek it only refers to green), and in fact this is cross-linguistically pretty common; blue is just not a very common color unless you specifically manufacture blue dyes, thus most languages throughout history haven't bothered to distinguish it from green, unless they end up encountering a lot of blue stuff more frequently. Interestingly, there also are some languages (specifically several Slavic languages) that go *further* than English and distinguish differing shades of blue as two distinct colors; like *goluboy* means "light blue" and *siniy* means "dark blue" in Russian, and they're treated like distinct colors in the same way we treat green and blue as distinct.
There's also some difference between languages and cultural contexts over time on what exactly constitutes a "color" in the first place; like in medieval Western European bestiaries (which were typically written in Latin), there are often entries on doves that refers to their being several different colors of doves that have a religious symbolic significance (every creature that appeared in bestiaries was attributed some kind of metaphysical significance as an allegory), like *rubrum* ("red") doves symbolized Christ's sacrifice of blood, *niger* ("black") doves symbolized "obscure sermons", but then you have "colors" like *punctata* ("speckled") symbolizing the "diversity of the twelve apostles", or *tincta aere* ("air-colored", whatever that means) symbolizing the prophet Elisha being transported through the air. In a modern English context, I'm not sure most people would call "speckled" a "color", nor would "air-colored" really mean anything at all (not sure we usually think of air as having a color?), but apparently this meant something to medieval Western European clerics who wrote and read this stuff.
But yeah, the idea that ancient/"primitive" people are actually incapable of seeing blue is a ridiculous pseudointellectual myth that gets circulated online, but it's complete bullshit, I'm not surprised Rudyard believes it.
also, he claims the Ancient Greeks had no concept of *red* either, something which I've straight up *never* seen claimed. As far as I know, every language has a word for "red" (with possibly the exception of languages that may have no specific color words at all, and only describe colors by reference to other nouns, which iirc have been argued to exist).
i just came from watching whatifalthist's vid on "why there will be an American civil war in 2024" in which he claims that the US is not at all involved in Israel's war on Gaza and thus it's confusing why there are american protests against it... bruh...
it's simply incredible to me how confidently Whatifalthist is able to deliver such absolutely braindead takes, but I guess that's actually typical of truly stupid people
According to Rudyard we are developing the psychic gene allowing us to tap into cosmic realms beyond the material plane, and that older alien species already possess it. He inadvertently recreated a major plot point in the story of Warhammer 40k.
Hmm who could have ever seen that one coming... hmm
That's just the plot of dune
I mean he's exactly the type of person I imagine would be into 40k

I feel like this guy is what you get when someone throughout their entire life never gets told they're wrong about something.
after watching lots of Whatifalthist videos (or rather, videos of others like Sunday laughing at them), I've been able to sort of piece together some lore about the dude. He dropped out of college because he thought everything was too "woke" (and also probably because too many professors told him he was wrong and he couldn't handle it), and apparently his weird conservative parents (including the same father who would apparently tell him how wrong and evil Marxism is, every night at the dinner table when he was a kid) were very supportive of this decision. His relationship with his parents *almost* gives me Chrischan vibes (like not quite to that level of severity, but there's a similar thing of coddling his weird self-aggrandizing tendencies and protecting him from a larger social sphere that would judge him harshly for it, so he can just remain a basement-dwelling incel wannabe savant forever). So yeah, there's *definitely* a degree of him getting to feel like a big fish in a small pond, and then just dismissing anyone or anything presenting evidence to the contrary as "deluded by leftist propaganda" or whatever.
My favorite part of the video was when Rudyard said "its Dunnings-Kruger time!" and proceeded to Dunnings-Kruger all over the place.
Is it the Incel Revolution one? Has to be the Incel Revolution.
Not yet. This is the one about the spirit world and the existence of the X-Gene.
@@andrewb4999 X-GENE?!?
oh my god he thinks "Kruger" is an adjective
11 out of 20 Dunnings Kruger agree.
ironically, the way he talks about the "Dunnings" Kruger effect is itself totally an example of the Dunning-Kruger effect (tbh, every single video of his is one big example).
For the record, the 'Spirit World' in The SCP Foundation is called Corbenic, and they have their own special arm of the foundation called "The Three Moons Initiative". It's more similar to Lovecraft's dreamlands than anything else. You can read about it in SCP-2992.
The Three Moons Initiative isn't an arm of the Foundation, in fact in most stories they're at least somewhat antagonistic towards the Foundation, partly because one of their leaders is a former Foundation researcher that kind of got screwed over by them (I forget exactly what happened, but they were able to communicate with her in Corbenic after she died because of some kind of anomalous communication implant that continued working after her death, and then iirc ended up killing other members of her family as part of an experiment). The Three Moons Initiative is just the government of humans in Corbenic (which I don't know if I'd really call the "spirit world" in general, it's literally just the afterlife, a strange alien realm where living things from our reality basically spawn in as immortal versions of themselves after they die here). They also have had conflicts with the Foundation because they send out robotic probes into our reality (living matter can't cross between Corbenic and our reality, and people in Corbenic can't die) to try to enforce what they consider to be moral good at all costs (such as by killing dictators or war criminals so they can be judged and punished in Corbenic), thus they often get in the way of the largely amoral Foundation (and anomalous robot probes from the afterlife are also obviously the sort of thing the Foundation isn't very fond of floating around and causing problems in the world).
It's time he changed his name to whatifaltreality
Please Sunday, for the love of all that is holy, cover Rudyard’s new Incel Revolution video. It is a grievance goldmine.
The problem with this dude is he never went to college. I feel like most boys go through a phase of believing this stuff, talk it out in their dorm rooms while high, and then realize it's all silly. This dude found a bunch of losers to let him turn it into a hustle and we all have to suffer for it.
I laughed my arse off watching this live!
Anyone remember when this dude actually did alt-timeline history...???? 😭
Someone make sure whatifalthist never watches Greylock. Odds are he’d think it was a documentary.
When was whatifalthist ever "hinged"?
from unhinged to dehinged
Rudyard has got all sides of the Dunnings Kruger. He Kruugs all over the fractal surface of the Dunnings space.
The rampant typos and misspellings can't be an accident, I think WIAH is a brilliant troll.
Brooks makes amazing Stargate reference, Sunday stares blankly 🤣
Whatifaltist is lucky that breathing is an automatic reflex. Otherwise, he would forget
1:15:49 Is Rudyard implying that you can die in the Spirit World? Does this mean that there's a double Spirit World even more spirity?
To be honest I don't know which is funnier, the sheer incredulity of the video or the look of disgust on your face. At least there is no necessity for a torturous investigation into higher order evidence as his first person evidence is sufficient to prove his uncivilised understanding of his own subject matter.
23:00 I like that Mr. Althist admits he doesn't understand science but is fully confident in calling quantum mechanics and general relativity pseudoscience.
I guess the spirit world is behind the photoelectric effect, too.
I don’t like the red smarties, they taste funny.
Watched this once but had to come back. Always nice to take a trip to the other side of the Dunnings Kruger.
His most unhinged video yet? How can he be any worst? Haha

How do you find this weird corner of the net? You must have one of the most cursed algorithms of all time.
55:49 This isn't Monroe; this is a process developed by LTC Wayne McDonald who was asked to analyze and assess the material produced by Monroe. It's important to recognize, also, that his job here is to accept it on its own terms and find *any* practical application potential. The "Step by Step" guide (if read all the way) describes a methodology to test the Gateway process. He concludes optimistic that the technique creates better intuitive perception in terrestrial engagements, the analysis leaves the metaphysical aspects open to interpretation and it's pretty notable how much he uses direct quotations in addressing the more fanciful "Spirit World" shit.
Also "Hemi-Sync" is just binaural beats and this is an analysis of the foundational research.
Sorry, I'm really bored today.
Wait until he figures out that he can just rename all the 60's terminology and sell it back to the New Age crowd.

I’m going through your videos and I’m enjoying them very much.
But please, be sure you equalize your mic to that of the videos you’re watching.
It’s easier for us to increase our volume if you lower your level to the content you’re watching.

@@Man-of-Steel674 I don't like whatifalthist
everything else aside, there's something distinctly sad about Rudyard just wholeheartedly taking on his boomer parents' conservative politics unflinchingly, like not rebelling against them or really questioning them at all. Like my parents are basically slightly left-of-center libs and I'm a Marxist, I don't fight with them about it every holiday or anything, but I feel like recognizing that *maybe* they don't actually have a fully unbiased view of the world, and that *maybe* I should form my own political opinions was an important part of my development as an individual, so it's always kind of weird to see people who clearly never went through anything like that, and yet think they're *intellectuals* for it.
Also, not at all surprising that these are the same parents who approved of his decision to drop out of college because it was too woke, they sound like great role models.
