Gabriel Zamora just came out and get a whole snapchat story
taki Westbrook as well as the new video from PewDiePie and talking more about
this James Charles situation so in this video we're gonna break it down a little
bit but we're gonna be talking about the very very very important subject of
confirmation bias what is up everybody this is Chris from the rewired soul
where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution if you're new to
my channel what I like to do is take a look at the YouTube community or pop
culture see all the drama going on I try to turn this mess and turn it into a
message alright so if you're into that kind of stuff make sure you subscribe
and bring that notification down okay so yeah Gabriel some more I just made a
long snapchat story just talk about tati Westbrook and he talks a little
bit more about the details of the situation
that's tati westbrook described when it comes to James Charles and the waiter
from Seattle I talked a little bit about that in my last video I hope you guys
check it out I try to offer a new perspective because and so many of these
situations we get this kind of confirmation bias
all right first let's talk about what the hell is confirmation bias okay
confirmation bias is something that no matter who you are unless you're like
the supreme like Buddhist monk we all have confirmation bias okay it is
our minds natural tendency to grasp on and find things that can confirm the
beliefs that we already have okay it makes sense now they've actually done
neurological studies on this thing where they have hooked people up to brain
scans where it shows that people who have a certain belief right they get in
pain if something tries to disagree with their belief or if new information is
present that is what people get so defensive about these situations all
right so long story short being white feels good being wrong feels bad so this
is also a problem with our ego our ego so fragile our ego wants us to be right
what we know is true any new information is wrong and it kind of sucks because it
excuse our perception of reality which hurts our ability to be objective in any
situation and like I said everybody has this problem the best thing that we can
do is be aware of this issue and try to take a step back and say okay what kind
of biases do I have going into this situation
so in PewDiePie's video he took a look at it and he made his whole video about
it I talked about that in a different video and so it doesn't sit right with
me as a lot of people are saying Oh PewDiePie doesn't know enough about the
situation Peter pie even said he doesn't know all
he needs to know about the situation the reality is PewDiePie not being involved
in the beauty community or the drama it's probably the best person to talk
about this situation because he doesn't have any biases going into this thing he
hasn't met any of these people he doesn't have any skin in the game so
this is the type of the person that you would want to speak on the subject and I
would argue like for anybody saying that beauty pie isn't doesn't know everything
about the situation like talking Westbrook made an entire forty minute
video that PewDiePie watched I would say he's pretty much caught up to speed
aside from some of the allegations full of floating around on the internet which
I'll touch on a little bit later but I will say this where does PewDiePie's
confirmation bias come in well I believe that although he is an outsider on this
situation PewDiePie is somebody who has been attacked many many many times
throughout his career so I would imagine that his bias is he's a little bit more
empathetic to anybody who's getting attacked the way James tells us in this
situation but we have to ask ourselves when Gabriel Zamora saw PewDiePie's
video right or wrong how much bias did Gabriel Zamora have obviously he feels
hurt by Tati so anything that he's eze that's going against Tati is going
to play into Gabriel some more as confirmation bias now same thing with
all of us right like no matter what side of this you're on you're going to find
things that agree with your opinion right if you think James Charles is a
monster you're gonna agree with that if you think this thing has been blown out
of proportion you're gonna find things that agree with that now I'm not here to
say which one's right or wrong but I just want you to get you to get your
wheels turning because so many of us get stuck in this autopilot and with so much
information being thrown out there right now like we we just don't even pay
attention to the way our mind is working the way our ego is working the way our
confirmation bias is working and all these things now something else that we
need to think about when it comes to you Gabriel Zamora I talk too much Brooke
James Charles and pretty much anybody like this is why we need to really try
to practice empathy for anybody involved in any situation is that we often forget
that we are only seeing the external world of that of a person that we're
looking at right we don't know what kind of life experiences have built up to the
moment that they're currently in so one of the reasons that I don't know that
one would argue that these people are coming out of vocalizing different
things that saying different parts of the story and everything like that is
because one person's perspective is their reality now the second thing I
want to talk about cuz the first one is people with their confirmation bias on
the side of James Charles the other side that I want to talk about is everybody
who is against James Charles in this situation because something absolutely
terrible and absolutely disgusting is happening right now and I'm gonna link
down below the new video from I'm Alex I'm Alice summarized it perfectly all
right I touched on this briefly but like I had a whole video plan a whole video
planned and I didn't even have I didn't have the guts that I'm Alex did to call
out what's going on and he he discussed that perfectly what am I talking about
somebody creating a fake story about assault on James
Charles it was completely fabricated alright so go check out our analysis
video he has some pretty strong evidence that this was all fake including the
fact that these DMS were photoshopped but what I want to talk to you what I
want to talk to you about is something that I will talk about until the day I
die because it is deja vu from 2016 and here's what it is well freaks me out is
that that tweet that tweet with this bogus story with such a serious claim
against James Charles had 24 thousand retweets okay 24,000 people spread this
misinformation the lies about James Charles and you know why because
confirmation bias you guys it is possible for somebody to be a bad friend
and not be like the worst person on the planet it is possible for somebody like
James Charles to have a massive ego to overcharge for his his sister's tor it's
possible for him to have messy relationships it's possible for all
those things to happen without him actually assaulting somebody and that is
the problem with the massive massive issue with confirmation bias is because
we forget that people have such black-and-white thinking and it is just
such a terrible thing for our society all right because people are so quick to
spread misinformation simply because they don't like somebody without even
realizing it they're like you know what I don't like that person so this must be
true and you guys really gotta check in with that you've got to check in with
that and the reason why I brought up 2016 is because that is was a major
problem during the last elections I'm gonna say this in 2016 with Donald Trump
was elected I was absolutely baffled and by so many things I'm like how did this
happen much like many other people and I just I'm very analytical I started
analyzing everything right and I started looking around I was listening to some
people like political commentators analyzing the situation and they were
talking about you know people spreading misinformation and how many people I saw
on Facebook like friends and family members on Facebook just sharing post
from like non reputable websites like there were the word of gospel you know
what I mean and that's one of the issues with YouTube and social media is I was
thinking about this with this James fellow situation like why why are some
of these serious allegations not on the mainstream news and here's why because
the YouTube community it is the wild wild west when it comes to journalism
like if if that person if that person who accused James Charles of these
horrible things went to an actual news organization there would be an interview
there would have to be evidence because any journalist any journalists who tried
to bring that to their editor without the proper evidence with and making such
a serious claim their editor would just smack them right in the face but the
problem is is that we're living in this world where the court of public opinion
and people's emotions overrun them people could just make up fake
information share fake information but even going back to people like gage or
that waiter you know like YouTube's amazing food
because people can have a voice and speak their their their side of the
story you know but here's what everybody keeps forgetting is that whenever you
get out of any type of relationship you're always the victim right like how
many relationships do we get out of but we're like oh no no no I was just
totally in the wrong it was a very we always think that we're a victim so I
believe in my opinion that's one of the reasons why so many people are going to
the sides of people like gage or people like I'm sorry I forgot the waiter kid's
name but people are going to their side because they're like you know what
you're right you're right I think the James Charles is an awful
person talk too much book said he's an awful person
people are monitors saying he's an awful person so yeah I'm gonna go side with
this this other kid and people are completely neglecting facts evidence
text messages like I don't know but anyways the last thing I would just want
to remind you guys it's like please check in with your confirmation bias in
any situation that you're going into all right any situation like whether it's
like sharing news stories when you're bickering with people online like
checking with your own biases and see what's going on because this affects us
in our everyday of life like you might have a bias against you know I don't
know fat guys with beards all right you might instantly not like me because you
met some fat guy with a beard a long time ago or hell maybe you don't like me
and now you have a prejudice against fat guys or beard I don't know what it is
but this plays into so many aspects of our lives and because of this we don't
walk into situations giving people a fair chance all right
so whether Gabriel's amaura's in the right where whether taki Westbrook is
right whether James Falls is right or anything like that regardless all of us
struggle the confirmation bias we just need to have some self awareness about
it all right so do me a favor quit spreading misinformation on the
