so the motivational speaker / guru Jay Shetty just got kind of exposed as being
the new Prince EA and we definitely need to talk about
this what is up everybody this is Chris from the rewired so when we talk about
the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel what I
try to do is take a look at different topics going on in the YouTube community
to try to see what lessons we can pull from them to improve our own mental and
emotional well-being so if you're into that stuff make sure you subscribe and
ring that notification bell so a couple quick things like my schedule is
changing this week so I don't know how often I'll be posting I'll still be
posting at least a few times a week but it was make sure you followed me on
Instagram and Twitter I got some of you don't even realize I have a podcast and
other projects that I'm working on best thing you could do is follow me on
social media so you don't miss out when I post new content all right but I will
be keeping you all posted over there on Twitter and Instagram okay so yeah we're
gonna be talking about what just went on with Jay Shetty and it's it's a bummer
man it is a bummer and I really hope like some people can learn from this
there's a few different topics we're gonna touch on and the first one we're
gonna talk about is black and white thinking all right so I was messaged
about this new video from Nicole Arbour all right and I am NOT a huge fan of
Nicole Arbour so those of you who don't know who Nicole Arbour is you probably
do and don't realize it she exploded by going viral by kind of like just like
purposely like antagonizing people with her video dear fat people all right it's
just like this kind of thing just blaming fat people for being fat and she
got so much publicity based off that I think she was even on the view boy but
she'd ended up making a part - all right and I just didn't really pay it pay
attention to it even though I am but anyways last year was a
two years ago she did a video about depression and it was just kind of
saying well you just need to toughen up and get over it and there's a bunch of
beautiful things what's there to be depressed about
and yeah so that was kind of my first real like seeing what Nicole Arbour does
but that's kind of just her thing she likes to get people talking about her
and get attention like a lot of people do that right um she also did a remake
of this is America by Childish Gambino and she like kind of turned it into the
site feminism video but a lot of people were upset about it but anyways yeah
let's let's first talk about black-and-white thinking so Nicole
Arbour is the one who made this video showing the issues with J Chevy that
we're gonna talk about in a second and like here's the thing like we got to get
away from black and white thinking because I saw this I'm like oh no it's
Nicole Arbour oh this is gonna be awful and just full of BS right just because I
opinions about her right but it was actually a good video and black and
white thinking for those of you who don't know this is an error with our
thinking it's all-or-nothing thinking right it's thinking that people are all
good or all bad and that is rarely the case
all right like bad people do good things sometimes good people do bad things
sometimes all right like one of my favorite sayings that kind of gets me
out of black-and-white thinking is even a broken clock is Right twice a day
all right so although I'm not gonna be like a huge fan of Nicole Arbour like I
appreciate that she did this video and kind of brought light to this situation
so moving on to jay Shetty those of you who don't know him he is huge
I think he's bigger on Facebook than he is on YouTube but on YouTube he has
about 2.8 million subscribers and I guess you can call them kind of
motivational self-help and I kind of see him in the same realm of what I do why
even though I've kind of switched to more social commentary while trying to
see what lessons we can learn from him like he is somebody who is trying to
help people live a better life improve their mental health he talks a lot about
mindfulness meditation he says he was a monk and things like
that and he says some great things I actually saw him speak at VidCon this
year and I remember I was texting one of my friends because it was such a good
talk that he gave at VidCon but the room was like empty compared to the Emma
Chamberland talked to who's just did you know what I mean I'm like man this guy
was actually like trying to help people he has like less of an audience then you
know other creators here at VidCon but anyways Nicole Arbour just kind of
showed the fact that jay Shetty a lot of his motivational quotes that he posts on
Twitter and on Instagram and on Facebook they're not even his I'm like Oh Jay why
you got to do this Jay and those of you who don't know this is actually
something that Prince EA it got found out that he was doing the same thing and
what's what's even more interesting about this is not only have they both
been plagiarizing these inspirational quotes but Nicole Arbour even shows a
clip of jay Shetty plagiarizing Prince EA and who knows if Prince EA
plagiarized what jay Shetty ended up plagiarizing you see what I mean and
it's just it's a bummer man because whenever we kind of look up to somebody
who's like kind of teaching us about self-improvement and things like that
like there's some values that go along with it
right like honesty transparency you know and things like that so when you find
out that they do something kind of shady it's like right so let's let's talk
about this like is this an issue absolutely it is right but those of you
who don't know me I am really against canceled culture and I do think most
people deserve forgiveness all right like it's not like Jay Shetty we just
found out he's the new Jeffrey Epstein or something like that you know what I
mean but yeah this was kind of a shady stomach thing and it's something that
I've been curious about because I kind of turned my Instagram into a place
where I share like quotes and I try to put a little you know like uh
almost like a mini blog there and kind of talk about just different mental
health ideas and things like that to kind of improve our lives things that
I've learned or things that are on my mind right and it's like hard like
sometimes it's hard to think of like an Instagram quote to put up there like
that sounds really stupid but you know what I mean so something that actually
came up was I've been reading this book called mindfulness alright and I highly
recommend you guys check it out so basically what make mindfulness is it
kind of sheds a light on people like Jay Shetty or Prince EA and basically it's
kind of how this like mindfulness movement and self-help genre has turned
into this like multi-billion dollar industry and in the book McMahon fulness
like he talks a lot about capitalism and neoliberalism and everything like that
and there's definitely some things that I disagree with in that book but like
seeing what Jay Shetty's doing like plagiarizing these quotes on Instagram
and everything like this this is kind of what the author is talking about right
so I am willing to give jay Shetty the benefit of the doubt and I think this is
something that we all need to do because cancel culture outraged culture the hate
mob and everything like that like do i think jay Shetty is an awful person for
doing this no but I think he did something stupid yeah but here's the
thing I know for a fact that jay Shetty has a team right so and maybe this is
just me being ignorant for me you know giving him way too much leeway on this
thing but I would at least I hope this is the case that maybe people on his
team in order to pump out content we're plagiarizing stuff right and I
think like no matter what it is whether it was people on his team or was him
here's the thing like it just shouldn't shouldn't be done like what I mentioned
I do you know some quotes and stuff like that
on Instagram and they're either all mine I think all my recent ones have been
mine but if not I credit the other person so here's a couple things like if
anybody out there is watching this and you're I don't know in the same niche oh
well here's my suggestion like get inspired
but don't steal stuff right like sometimes when I'm like oh I want to
make an Instagram post or whatever like all just kind of like read some stuff or
check in some of the books that I have and it inspires me and then I create my
own you know quote from it right but the other thing about social media like you
don't always have to be like this purely original person you can credit other
people like some of you out there you follow people who just distribute
content right they share a bunch of good articles or they share a bunch of good
quotes like I think a great example of this is what's that account called I
think it's called Gold Coast like gol coast and their Instagram is just
pulling a bunch of inspirational quotes from well-known people right and they're
huge they're massive they also do like compilation videos of like people's
speeches and motivational talks and everything like that so yeah I just I
just don't get why people like jay Shetty or Prince EA do this right I
don't think they'd be any less credible doing what they do if they just shed
some light on someone else who had an amazing quote wherever they got it from
you know what I mean like so many of these things that we see happen on you
know in the YouTube you know community or just just in society in general like
so many of them could just be avoided right and this is just something that we
need to learn from like if you're watching this you're gluten self to do
with me like listen like college like you might be going off to college right
now you might have just started school like be creative be original
I feel free to message me I don't know if you guys want me they like talk about
this on the podcast sometime but I've been writing most of my life and like
sometimes like you know what I'm doing you know you're freelance like that
like I get inspired by things and then turn it into something of my own you
know what I mean and it's completely different so if you want me there like I
don't know just kind of help you with that so you don't plagiarize let me know
if that's something you'd be interested in because I don't know like I'm not
like a phenomenal writer or anything like that but if I can help you with
that stuff let me know I'm here to serve you baby I'm here to serve you all right
but do me a favor in the comments down below like compared
to everything we've seen in the YouTube community from like Logan Paul in Japan
y'all know what I'm talking about right for my Jacqueline he'll like in her
lipstick debacle like all these other things happening like where do you wait
J Shetty on this for plagiarizing quotes and like do you think this is forgivable
all right I shared my opinion but I would love to hear yours alright so
anyways that's all I got for this video don't forget follow me on Instagram and
Twitter at the rewired soul my schedule is going to be changing a little bit but
you can stay up to date with all the news and all the stuff I'm working on
when you follow me on social media all right but anyways if you like this video
