so as many of you of her there's been all talk around whether or not shane
dawson is going to cover the whole drama get in stuff that happened with jeffree
star and talk to Westbrook and James Charles and yeah in his live stream he
just talked about this kind of dilemma that he's in so in this video we're
gonna talk about it but we're not gonna just be covering it like all the other
drama channels are because I made a promise to all of you by the time you
leave one of my videos I want to make sure that you have value I want to make
sure that you leave here and they say huh
maybe I can learn from this and apply it to my own life to improve my mental and
emotional well-being you know what I mean so if you just came for the drama
or the tea you came to the wrong place all right focus on the solution ah give
us the tea yes no and you know what if you don't back off my girl Maya right
here is gonna Jack you up what is up everybody this is Chris from the rewired
saw where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new
to my channel what I like to do is take two four topics going on in the YouTube
community and try to see what lessons we can learn from people whether it's their
mistakes or their successes and we try to take
that and see what we could do to improve our own mental and emotional well-being
so if you're into that stuff make sure you subscribe and bring that
notification valve so before we get started I just have two quick reasons
why you need to be following me over on Instagram and Twitter at the rewired
soul the first one is now we just did our
first Shane Dawson pellet giveaway and we got two more giveaways coming up all
right so I will be announcing the details for that coming pretty soon so
make sure you're following me over on Instagram and Twitter at the rewired
soul the second reason you need to follow me
is because I got this idea I got this idea because music put so many of us in
just a good mood so I was like you know what I want to make a community playlist
for all the reward soldiers out there so I've been getting song suggestions from
all of you like different songs that just uplift your mood and we've put them
all together so make sure that you go follow this playlist it'll be down in
the description below but it's so cool cuz I listen to it and I feel I feel
more connected to all of you and some of you have let me know that you feel kind
of connected to the community too it's really cool and yeah I'll be doing more
post to get more song suggestions from all of you alright anyways let's jump
into this topic so yeah Shane Dawson tweeted this out earlier talking about
how he's about to go on mob you had some stuff that you wanted to talk about and
yeah he went on live I'm not gonna play the whole thing he was on for awhile but
I will find a video and link the whole thing down in the description below if
you want to check it out but again like this isn't about Shane Dawson and
jeffree star and James Charles and Tati Westbrook we're using that as context
because so many of us can relate to what these people are going through and
there's so much that we can learn from it alright so the first topic that we're
gonna be talking about is check your motives wait wait sorry sorry to
interrupt but anyways did you see that amazing and beautiful thumbnail that was
from Qadri milk she does some art for me sometimes so make sure you go follow her
on Instagram and Twitter her a style for art is just amazing love that girl so
the first topic that we're gonna be talking about is check your motives all
right check your motives check your motives check your motives when I first
got sober I was taught whenever I'm making a decision if I'm gonna do
something check my motives that's something that Shane Dawson talked about
in his live stream was when he looks at it and he assesses the situation like
does he want to include this footage does he want to bring this up does he
want to show what was going on behind the scenes
he's checking his motives alright he's asking himself will this bring any value
to the series will this help anybody right he's looking at the pros and cons
like why would he bring it out and these are the questions that he's asking
himself and this is something that we all need to do right whenever we're
making a decision we have to ask ourselves like what are my motives
behind wanting to do this is it you know to harm somebody else is it to get
notoriety is it to get praise is it to get recognition like why are we doing
what we're doing and when I see Shane Dawson like this massive creator taking
a step back and checking his motives on this like it helps it inspires me like
because I've been in this struggle for months now where like I I've released
videos where I didn't fully check my motives or I justified my motivations
for posting certain videos or making certain videos you know what I mean and
it's something that I'm always working on so when I see other people out there
and this is what I suggest you do as well is you watch people especially
people you look up to and say okay this person's checking their motives why are
they doing this what is their motivation behind this what is their intent behind
this because we don't always make the right decisions but we all have this
place that we want to end up in life and if we make one decision after another
checking our motives we gradually stay on that right path you know what I mean
so the second thing is is Shane Dawson in the live stream he just gives like
kind of like a tldr of everything that went on behind the scenes right he talks
about how everybody is you know it was it was pretty much egos and jealousy and
all these other things like it was just ridiculous and let's be real you guys
99.999% of beauty community drama well even YouTube drama is just
absolutely pointless and ridiculous so that's another reason why Shane Dawson
is like I don't know if I should discuss everything that went on with Jeffery
star and James and party Westbrook and all that so what
I want to talk about right now is is this from two different angles about our
friendships or relationships so like Shane Dawson has no problem saying how
his friends were acting this way and acting ridiculous like we we sometimes
need to call people out right but on the other hand too we also need people in
our lives to call us out like as much as people might think that you know I saw
myself like yes people like I say why don't people myself with people who have
no problem calling me out of my BS like Tristan my beautiful girlfriend will
call me out so fast on my nonsense all right sometimes I go against it but most
the time I listen to her right and the friends that I keep in my life like I'm
a super sensitive dude right and you might be sensitive to and when we're
sensitive we don't like keeping people around who are gonna tell us stuff that
we don't want to hear right but something I learned a long time ago
okay a long long time ago is the best friends in our lives tell us what we
need to hear and not what we want to hear right like when we have people in
our lives who tell us what we want to hear we get in trouble okay there are
some great examples of that right like when you look at what Logan Paul did in
Japan right and you see all the people who were around him in his life like how
did it pass through so many filters and Logan Paul was like you know what it's a
good idea to upload this that's when we're surrounding ourselves with yes-men
there's another kid I don't know if you guys have heard about this news but a
kid in the fort night community from faze clan
Jarvis and he got it he just got permanently banned from fort night and
we're sitting there we're looking at this and we're like how did you have so
many people in your life around you witnessing what you're doing and now
nobody said this is probably a bad idea right and these are just prime examples
while we need people like Shane Dawson in our lives who say yo this is
egotistical this is jealousy this is you know what are your motives why are you
doing this right so the last thing I want to talk about is the moral quandary
that's Shane Dawson is in alright and as many of you know I've been diving really
into moral psychology and moral philosophy and by the way any of you
guys watched a typical season three like Tristan and I just binge did this
weekend if you want me to make some videos on it let me know down in the
comments below but anyways absolutely love how to talk about like morality and
ethics and everything but yeah the whole moral quandary thing if you guys watch
the season you know what I'm talking
about phenomenal but Shane Dawson is in this
moral quandary right so let's talk about morality real quick typically when we're
talking about morality we're talking about harm being done to others okay and
harm is very subjective when you're not talking about physical harm okay
so typically when they do kind of like moral thought experiments and philosophy
it it kind of makes you ask yourself well is somebody being harmed in this
situation and then it goes even further and it's about minimizing harm right so
anyways when we're looking at the moral quandary that Shane Dawson is and
there's a couple different things that he needs to look at and all of us need
to look at this with our moral decisions that we make as well right
where Shane Dawson is his loyalty to his friends like jeffrey star or is it to
the audience to the community you see what I mean so I was having a really
interesting discussion with one of my mentors about this situation about the
morality of this so what I said to him was like the question I asked myself is
just anybody really need to know is it anybody's business what happened right
I'm gonna ask myself that and when I look at it from a moral perspective I'm
like okay well Shane Dawson does he have a moral obligation to people knowing
information because the James Charles and talked to Westbrook and jeffree star
situation it got more intense then your typical run-of-the-mill drama
okay so from the audience perspective I could see this argument right that the
audience has a right I'm putting that in quotations because this is purely
subjective they have a right to know who they're supporting okay so on one end
you have somebody like James Charles who was being accused of being a predator
right so the question is does the audience have a right to know if their
supporting James Charles an alleged predator okay because Jeff we
starry-eyed proof but the only other option there is that Jeffrey star was
incorrect or blatantly lying while accusing James Charles of being a
predator so does the audience have a right to know if their supporting
Jeffrey star who may have been making this thing up to slander James Charles
you see what I mean so if I was Shane Dawson that's the moral dilemma that I
would have and just real quick my opinion on that and here's my opinion
for all of you as well like in your own lives like when it comes to your
loyalties and everything like that and you know it's funny in a typical Sam
actually had this dilemma with Zahid or his company his employer right with
what's right and what's wrong or what he needs to show him what he needs talk
about but anyways like when it comes down to Shane Dawson and his decision I
just don't think he's in a position to do this right he's not only friends with
Jeffery star but he's business partners with Jeffery star so if the audience has
a right to know this I think Shane Dawson needs to be completely taken out
of the equation and somebody else needs to come in if they're going to do that
and investigate but anyways like I said I was talking my mentor like does the
audience have a right to know based on the things that I just said and he
brought up a very good point a lot of it is just moral grandstanding right and I
to say it but when we really get down to the nitty-gritty of morality and the
decisions that we make like so much is up in the air like who were supporting
like he made a good point like if you have an iPhone
like you can't really morally grandstand based on some of the things that have
come out about the way Apple produces its products right what about our
clothes do we know who made these clothes are there any labor laws being
broken and this is why morality is just an interesting conversation for me like
like when it comes to this stuff like if we're ignorant to the shady practices
going on does that mean that we're no longer responsible for the moral
decisions that we're making right if a company's doing something bad but we
just don't know about it you see what I mean so these are just different
questions so like when it comes to Shane Dawson I wish him the best like in his
live stream he talks about how it's a lose-lose situation and I absolutely
agree but anyways to summarize this video the solutions the first one check
your motives when you're making decisions check your motives the second
thing is keep people in your life who tell you what you need to hear not what
you want to hear the third one is morality is messy and all of us need to
quit all of our moral grandstanding all right but something that I've personally
done to get out of some of these moral dilemmas and you know looking at the
different friends in my life and where my loyalties lie is I've cut out a lot
of people from my life where they're constantly in stuff you know what I mean
stuff is costly chaotic and going on I for my own sanity of mental health I
can't have that all right anyways like I said don't forget to follow me over on
Instagram and Twitter because we're doing a shade Dawson palette giveaway is
