that's right today we're going to be talking about the feud between James
Charles and Tea spill we're gonna use a unique blend of philosophy and
psychology so make sure that you stay tuned until the end of this video
because I guarantee you'll leave a little bit smarter than you would with
any other video about YouTube drama what is up everybody this is Chris from the
rewired soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if
you're new to my channel what I try to do just take different topics going on
in the YouTube community try to see what lessons we can learn from them to
improve our own mental and emotional well-being and some things that I really
love our philosophy and psychology and just expanding my mind so if you're into
that stuff too make sure you subscribe and ring that
notification bell and while are you at it follow me on instagram and twitter at
the rewired soul alright so yeah some of y'all wondering what's going down if
you're not in the know here's a quick recap
all right so James Charles as many people do know he was recently in New
York for New York Fashion Week alright and I guess Emma Chamberlain was
in town too and those two you know they're buddies and James Charles I
think like on a live stream he just like slightly mentioned just barely mentioned
that he wasn't going to be hanging out with Emma Chamberlain when that happened
the drama channels jumped on it they took this very tiny tiny seemingly
insignificant thing and they made videos about it because that's what drama
channels do alright so anyways drama drama channel t spill and James Charles
they ended up having this back and forth on Twitter T spill shares the video did
James Charles really shade Emma Chamberlain James Charles responds no he
didn't but he was shading someone else and realized in the moment that it was
unnecessary which is why he cleared it up took responsibility and asked that
drama channels didn't blow it out of proportion
thanks for respecting that T spill was replies
I forgot I needed your permission before reporting on a story James Charles says
you don't it's not a story if it was already cleared up and would it be that
hard to respect someone's witches for once tsp replies for once I respected
your wishes many times there was nothing wrong with my video I don't see you
going in on anyone else who covered the story so in this situation who's right
and who's wrong before we discussed that we got to do a quick little crash course
when it comes to philosophy and psychology so something that I'm
absolutely fascinated with is like the common idea and misconception is that
things like morals and ethics are this black and white thing when they're not
it is different from person to person it is different from culture to culture it
changes so I'm reading this amazing book called the righteous mind and it's all
about moral psychology and oh my god it's probably my new favorite book all
right so I'm gonna link it down in the description below if you want to check
it out but anyways it talks a lot about what's right and what's wrong
so in order to discuss this situation between tea spill and James Charles and
I'm also going to discuss some other drama channels later in this video we're
going to be talking about different kind of ethical philosophies all right
specifically we're going to be talking about deontology and utilitarianism
alright so utilitarianism is pretty much a philosophy that was brought about by a
man named Jeremy Bentham alright so basically what utilitarianism is is when
you're looking at your morals when you're choosing between right and wrong
utilitarianism is you're looking at the greater good alright so they did some
research and although they'll never know because Jeremy Bentham died like in the
1800s they've looked back at a lot of his notebooks and everything like that
and they actually believe that he may have been on the autism spectrum so what
you're looking at right now this is a grid it actually came from that book the
righteous mind but most people they lie on this
from of being an empathizer and a system Iser all right people who are empathetic
they're obviously you know thinking about other people's feelings and
everything like that systemize use they're more looking at numbers okay so
people believe that jeremy bentham was on the autism spectrum because he was a
very low empathizer but high systemize er all right and if you know anybody on
the autism spectrum many of them will also fall somewhere on the grid around
this area but many people who believe in utilitarianism you know ethics and
morals and stuff like that they'll be further along the lines of a system Iser
as well all right so you may have heard of the trolley the runaway trolley
thought experiment alright there's some few different versions of it and things
like that but basically let's say you have a switch alright and there's a
runaway trolley it is about to run over five people all right but if you pull
that switch it will run over one person those who have a utilitarian point of
view they're gonna pull that switch hit the one person because they're looking
at net positive the greater good all right one life two five lives so now
let's talk about dental aaj achill ethics all right so this is an excerpt
from a post from Penn State and the liberal arts department all right so it
says dental logical ethics is an ethics system that judges whether an action is
right or wrong based on a moral code consequences of those actions are not
taken into consideration the ethics system is intended to be precise and
by-the-book doing the right thing means to follow proper rules or behavior and
by doing so promoting fairness and equality all right so to give you an
example of this you've probably heard you know that
thing like would you steal or is it okay to steal a loaf of bread to feed your
starving family all right somebody with deontological ethics would
say no it is never okay to steal all right regardless of the consequences
like your family stole it is never okay to steal you never lie
you never steal you never do anything like that right but those of us who are
utilitarian we will look at that and say yes till
the butt feed your family you're right and that positive okay you want some
little bread I get to help my family survive and my during the the trolley
thought experiment I don't know with somebody with deontological ethics would
do i I think they just kind of throw their hands up and say it's never right
to do anything that's gonna harm another person you know but but there's a
problem with deontological ethics and another excerpt from that same post from
Penn State I think summarizes it quite well it says
deontology works great in theory but in the real world it is challenging to
comply with it what happens when you have to choose between two evils what
happens when we can't be objective what happens when the situation is not black
and white so in my opinion have a dent illogical ethics it leaves you open to
being a hypocrite more often than not all right because it's based on your
moral code and where does our moral code come from some of them some of us it was
taught to us by our parents but what happens if our parents weren't good
people all right so we have this strict code but we might be doing more bad than
good all right or for many of us our morals are based on emotions and if
you're anybody who's learned anything about the brain or how the mind works
you know that one of the worst things you can do is run off of emotions rather
than logic all right so many people with dental logical
ethics are running off of emotion so that allows them to be kind of wavering
and a little hypocritical at times so although I try to stay out of
black-and-white thinking utilitarianism is pretty black-and-white but it varies
from situation to situation because in one situation the greater good might be
this in another situation the greater good might be that so who is right when
it came to James talk and tea spill now by now you know that I
have more of a utilitarian point of view I'm hoping that you are deciding which
one which category you fall into I believe
tea spill was correct all right utilitarianism she was looking at the
greater good she reports on stories regardless of one influencer getting
upset about it she is serving her audience the greater good but in this
video I actually want to discuss the bias and hypocrisy that's been getting
called out a lot in the drama community lately see although tea spilled took the
utilitarian stance on this one many drama and commentary channels
really have dental logical points of view so they switch their views all the
time and it makes them look like hypocrites for example we can all pretty
much agree that James Hall is not hanging out with Emma Chamberlain and
how small that clip was it was pretty insignificant alright but many of the
channels made videos that were X amount of minutes long some were even 10
minutes long like the ones from Nick Snyder at the viewers voice so although
James Charles did not want videos made about this subject they were still made
so you would think that people like tea spill or Nick Snyder we're having more
of a utilitarian point of view but that's not the case see two weeks ago on
August 30th something much different happened and I want you to go check out
the channel Australian commentary drama channel or I'll stay Australian drama
commentary Channel little bit is I'm gonna link her channel down below
wait anyways she DM me and I saw this video and I thought this was really
interesting so those of you who missed it Christy tweeted out I always get told
I look similar to add Jeffrey star what do we think I think we could be sisters
and jeffree star ended up replying and saying I don't see any similarities to
exclamation points so somebody else tagged all of the drama channels saying
hey people turning over a new leaf and giving all the drama channels a clean
slate and y'all pretty please link me to where you know one of these people
covered the jeffree star drama from yesterday's
they're not biased and then they talk about you know this one where Jeffrey
star kind of sassed that woman for saying she looked like him alright well
anyways Nick Snyder took it upon himself to retweet this person and say can't
make a video about our boss duh obviously a job because there's an
inside joke that the drama channels are being paid off Mike Jeffery saw and
other influences well T spill ends up replying and saying wait we're supposed
to make a video because Jeffrey replied to someone and said he didn't see any
similarities in their appearance how is that rude and then exciti says the
effing nerve of in Dustin Bailey comes in he says I'm blocked but I seen it
that dumb a has the most to say like I'm gonna make a whole video about him
saying he didn't see any similarities and then deleting it this one here can
true my drawers so going back are they more utilitarian
or do they have deontological ethics I'd say more dant illogical because you can
see they have a clear moral code but it's not the one that you would think
see they only serve the greater good when it aligns with their moral code no
matter how small the story is kind of like James Charles and Emma Chamberlain
that whole situation all right but if they like the person then that aligns
with their moral code so that story is too small for them to cover lastly to
point out the dent illogical ethics and hypocrisy let's go back to this
screenshot that we talked about in the beginning where James Charles says you
don't it's not a story if it was already cleared up and would it be that hard to
respect someone's wishes so if any of you have been around for a bit you know
I got cancelled earlier this year or maybe you read my brand-new book
cancelled inside YouTube cancel culture where I kind of discussed that situation
in detail but one of the biggest criticisms of me is that people have
asked me not to make videos about them but I did now as you know I have more of
a utilitarian point of view so if it's okay to make
deals on one person who's in the public spotlight it's okay to make videos all
people in the public spotlight which I would imagine most commentary and drama
channels are doing see the problem is and one of the reasons most people are
calling drama channels and even some commentary channels bias and
hypocritical is because they have deontological ethics they only care
about videos being made when it's about someone they like but since most of them
dislike James Charles they have no problem making all the videos on earth
about him and as our good buddy Danny Gonzalez would say
so like I said I hope you're leaving this video just a little bit smarter
knowing a little bit a bit more about moral psychology and philosophy again
check out that book the righteous mind it is amazing if you like these types of
videos where I like kind of take these drama situations and dive a little bit
deeper in and lend it in with psychology of philosophy let me know down in the
comments below baby alright anyways that's all I got for this video if you
