Alright, my friends, A .D. Roblez is deeply troubled. A .D.
00:06
Ro - A .D - A .Day? My name's not A .Day, it's A .D. Roblez. A .D. Roblez is troubled, and I know
00:12
I make fun of people when they say that they're troubled, or concerned, or worried, and, you know, it's a
00:18
Big Eva thing to say, that's for sure. But, uh, but I needed to share this with somebody, so might as well be you.
00:25
I am deeply troubled. The day started off good. It was a good day.
00:30
I was thinking about how NASA keeps pretending that they're gonna go to the moon, and they're just not going to do that.
00:38
Here it is again. It got delayed again! This Artemis moon mission has been getting delayed over and over and over again.
00:45
I believe on the channel, I did predict that the new date, which was supposed to be right around now, would end up getting pushed back, and here it is, you know, there's a hurricane,
00:54
I mean, they gotta move it back! It's a hurricane! And so, it's now allegedly gonna happen in November.
01:00
I will go on a limb right now and predict that this moon landing will not happen in November either.
01:06
Now, I don't know what excuse they're gonna use, I don't know, maybe some of their diversity hires are gonna, you know, put the wrong pipe in the wrong, you know, bolts or something,
01:16
I don't know what's gonna happen, but something's gonna happen. And, uh, this moon mission will get delayed yet again.
01:22
I was enjoying that, it's good news, I think it's funny. But then, something happened that deeply troubled me.
01:30
Now, if you see here, this is the people that I follow on Twitter. I'm gonna get rid of Twitter soon,
01:36
I really hate it, I hate it. I do, I hate it very much. Twitter is, you know, no matter what you do, you can't get the degeneracy off your feet, right?
01:46
Like, I only, at the time, I only followed Gordon Sanchez, the theoretical editor -at -large of Gospel Coalition.
01:51
Very good follow, by the way. And Woke Preacher Clips, and Woke Preacher Clips is a legend, so I follow him.
01:57
At the time, those were the only two people I was following. But then,
02:03
Twitter, you know, they show you what they think you're gonna be interested in, or what they think you should see.
02:09
And that's why I'm leaving Twitter soon, because I just hate what they show me. Like, I've never ever clicked on anything regarding the new
02:15
TV show that's coming out, or the new, you know, movie or whatever that's coming out. And they constantly promote this garbage to me all the time.
02:23
It's awful. I can't take it anymore. In any case, they did promote something to me that I thought was interesting, but it deeply troubled me.
02:32
It's this site called Americana Aesthetics. And this Twitter page posts pictures about different things from, you know,
02:40
Americana. American past, or architecture, or, you know, scenery, stuff like that.
02:46
And most of these pictures are very good. They're very interesting. But this is the one.
02:52
This one troubled me very much. And I went on a little bit of a rabbit hole looking at some of these
03:01
Americana Aesthetics pictures, and they just, one after another, just, I'm worried, guys.
03:07
I'm troubled. I don't know what's what anymore. I just don't know. I don't know, and I need a little help.
03:13
What do you guys make of this? Because this picture is St. Louis, Missouri, from 1904.
03:22
And, of course, it's colorized, so this picture used to be black and white. But this is troubling, because look how beautiful this is.
03:32
Like, if you were to show me this picture and say, AD, where is this picture taken?
03:39
And you didn't give me any context, right? Like, you gave me no context whatsoever. I would say, oh, this must be from the new
03:45
Lord of the Rings show or something. Like, this is the new, you know, Riverdale or whatever. I don't even know the names of the places in that thing.
03:52
But that's what I would think. It's like a fantasy, you know, computer generated image of, you know,
03:58
Arendelle or whatever. Arendelle, that's from Frozen. Whatever. You see what I'm trying to say. And that's what
04:05
I would have thought, because it's just so, like, awesome. It's just so fantasy, fantastical, whatever.
04:11
But it's not. It's from the actual world that exists. So if you told me, AD, it's from the world that exists, though.
04:17
It's, like, on our planet, in our world. I would have said, oh, it must be
04:23
Venice or, like, I don't know, Greece or Rome or something like that. Something in Europe where all the architecture is beautiful and whatever.
04:31
And it's not. It's St. Louis, Missouri. And it's, like, this is troubling, because why does it look like this?
04:39
It's, like, nothing I know from St. Louis looks this amazing, right? Maybe I just don't know, but this looks unbelievable, right?
04:49
And then you find out that a lot of this stuff, and I'll just keep going. This is from the World's Fair in 1904.
04:55
And, again, it's just, like, if you were to take this out of context, I'd be, like, this is another planet.
05:01
This looks like Naboo, right? But it's not. It's St. Louis, Missouri. St. Louis doesn't look like this anymore.
05:07
Why not? Why not? Like, this architecture is just, it's just otherworldly is what it is.
05:14
But, no, this is from our world in 1904. This is the part that's troubling. 1904.
05:22
And then it's, like, you know, this is the World's Fair. And, you know, they put these buildings up in a month or a couple months, you know.
05:31
And they were made of straw and plaster. And they had this stuff up there. And then they just tore it all down.
05:37
And, you know, because who cares, right? Who cares? They just tore it down. That's the story that they tell us. But it's just, like, it just doesn't make sense.
05:45
Like, even assuming that this is all a facade, right?
05:50
This is all a literal facade. Like, I don't mean, like, it's a trick. I mean, like, this is a facade. This is a building that they put up.
05:57
It's not supposed to be up there forever. It's just a temporary thing to celebrate or whatever. And then they tear it down.
06:03
But we don't do this stuff anymore. I mean, when was the last time you went to your county fair? Did it look like this?
06:09
Like, what does it look like now? It doesn't look like this, that's for sure.
06:14
That's troubling. That's troubling. I just don't understand what to make of that.
06:21
Look at this one. San Francisco 1915 World's Fair. I've never seen this.
06:27
Again, it's like a different plane of existence. And this is 1915 where they were doing stuff like this.
06:34
This is just unbelievable. Let me find another one. This is also 1915 San Francisco World's Fair.
06:41
I mean, this is, like, when I remember when I used to play video games,
06:48
I played the game Battlefront, the Star Wars, you know, shooter game. And I remember being in a place that looked like this.
06:54
And it was on Naboo. It was the palace on Naboo. They created this world that looked so awesome.
07:00
You were there. But, no, in the old days, they really did it. It wasn't just a computer.
07:06
In 1915, they would really make these places. But we don't do this anymore. Now, I mean,
07:12
I don't want to say everything looks bad, but it just doesn't look like this anymore. It looks awful now, to be honest.
07:18
Look at this one. This is the one that blew my mind. This is when I decided to make this video because this is troubling to me.
07:25
This is 1893 in Chicago. Tell me this doesn't look like Lord of the
07:32
Rings. 1893. 1800s in Chicago.
07:40
And it looks like it would be, like, in a fantasy, you know, movie or in Rome or something like that.
07:45
And it's just hard to believe that this stuff used to happen. And I scrolled through a bunch of these pictures.
07:53
Here's another one from 1893, World's Fair. I mean, it looks like, you know, what, like, you go to Disney World and they've got all this stuff set up, except it's like the real version, right?
08:05
Disney World's like, it's just, it doesn't make any sense. And then you think about, like, your cities, right? I used to live in New York City.
08:12
And most of it looked like garbage, right? I mean, literally garbage. There was garbage everywhere. And most of it looked awful.
08:19
The buildings are just utilitarian and ugly and all of that.
08:24
But then there's, like, little remnants of this beautiful time. You know, you go to Grand Central and, like, the architecture on Grand Central is just unbelievable.
08:34
And if you weren't looking, you would miss it because everything else looks like literal garbage. And then there's, like, this thing.
08:41
We don't do anything like that anymore. I'm not saying the old days were better than these days. I'm not, that's not what I'm trying to say.
08:46
That's not a wise way to look at the world. But I just want to ask, what happened?
08:53
What happened? Like, why are we the way we are? It's troubling.
08:59
AD Robles is troubling. I'm not despairing. I promise you, I'm not despairing. But why has this happened?
09:07
Look at this. This is the world. 1893, Chicago. And then they just tore it all down and said, screw it.
09:13
We need to make room for the Sears Tower. Are you serious? Even the
09:20
Sears Tower is better than the stuff they do now. Good gracious. Like, the Freedom Tower is just so ugly.
09:26
Why do they make things ugly? And I think I know a little bit why they do this, but I don't know.
09:33
My point is, I want to avoid a despair spiral. I'm just joking.
09:40
I'm not despairing. But what do you guys make of this? Like, when you see this kind of stuff, what do you make of this?
09:46
You ever see those movies? I'm sorry, those documentaries where they claim that – and I think this is a claim.
09:52
I don't think this is really true. But they'll show you something that, I don't know, the Incas made, like, you know, a long time ago.
10:00
Or, you know, the Mayans or whatever. And then the narrator will be like, we still don't know how they did it.
10:07
Or the pyramids. Like, we don't know how they made the pyramids. Maybe it was aliens. I think they do know, but they don't do it anymore.
10:17
So it's like, why does it seem like in some ways we've, like, we've deteriorated, right?
10:27
Oh, but we have iPhones. I mean, that's great. Like, who cares about iPhones, right? Like, in so many ways, we've gotten worse.
10:36
But in some ways, we haven't. The story doesn't really make a whole lot of sense.
10:42
I mean, even going back to the moon landing, right? Because the story they tell you about the moon landing – and again,
10:49
I'll just leave it at that. But they went to the moon with technology that's probably less complicated than a
10:58
Game Boy, right? But now they can't figure out how to get there. Now it's like, oh, we've got to do it.
11:04
We don't know. I mean, it can't really be the diversity hires, can it? Maybe it is.
11:10
Maybe it is. What do you guys make of this? I'd like to get your input. In the comments section, what do you make of this?
11:19
Like, in 1893, we were building buildings that just look like they're straight out of fantasy novels, right?
11:25
They could be in Rome. I mean, it's just – but we just don't do it anymore. We don't do it anymore.
11:30
Why do we do what we do now when it's so much worse than what we used to do?
11:36
That's what I want to know. I was talking to my brother about this, and he just sent me a few pictures of cathedrals that were made a long time ago.
11:45
And it's like, these things are just amazing. These are amazing buildings, and they're just so different than what we do now.
11:54
What we do now is so much worse. What do you guys make of this?
11:59
Let me know in the comments section. I'm very interested in what you guys have to say. I feel like this audience is – you know,
12:08
I think not only are we smarter. I think we're a smart audience. But also, I think this audience in particular is very open -minded.
12:16
You guys aren't the kind of people – like, if you listen to 80 Robles for any consistent amount of time, and you don't just say,
12:24
I'm done with this guy, you have a fairly open mind. Because I've said some pretty wild things from time to time.
12:30
But I'm interested to hear what you guys have to say. Let me know in the comments section below. Tomorrow, I've got some more content.
12:37
Not really about the Kastihin situation, although it is what got me thinking about it.
12:42
But more about sort of this – well, I'll leave it for tomorrow. I think you'll enjoy it.
12:48
But let me know what you guys think of this issue. What is the deal with all of this?
12:54
How could they have made that in 1893? And now, again, look around at the construction around you.
13:00
What are they making in your town? I guarantee you it doesn't look like this in any case. Hope you found this video –
