IT TAKES MORE THAN INTELLIGENCE... Ren - Money Game Part 3 (Reaction)

[@richardhuff1256]

Ren is playing 3D Chess while the worlds top artists are struggling to play checkers.

[@danb9312]

Well Said!

[@jeremyrhoades2535]

Ha ha with a few exceptions those dumbasses are having trouble playing go fish

[@bigbirchwood67]

Much respect and I feel ya REN is all that What! Life is blessed knowing REN. REN makes me want to be a better human being.

[@stranger2Utube]

Facts!

[@diamondflaw]

Ren is a master of making reactors into liars in the best way. “I’m not going to be pausing much” - involuntarily pauses to comment on powerful moments. “I’m going to pause and talk, deal with it” - enraptured and completely forgets to pause for minutes at a time.

[@nobodynemoq]

This piece is so amazing, that I see many reactors stunned and saying at the end "oh wait I watched it without commenting, let's get through it again" 😊

[@ckheffern]

😂😂🤣😂😂

[@MarkKirkwood-w1h]

Love it: “I’m not going to stop much, so I don’t break the flow”. A minute later : *stops the video* “I can’t take it, this is too good”. I feel you, man!

[@harrysyoutubing]

You are frighteningly as good at breaking down songs as Ren is at making them.

[@traktician]

Appreciate that. Thank you.

[@stefankarlsson4652]

Agree!

[@Shuggie.E]

Fuck Me !!! That's all you had to say bud. Suns it up perfectly.

[@ronnyoliver1972]

I believe Ren has and is doing something truly amazing. I cannot think of anyone who is more deserving of having his or her music appreciated by the world. With the money game he gave us a small example of how collectively we can make a change. Let’s use this collective approach to ensure that the world is impacted! I encourage each and every person that has liked..appreciated…been inspired by or gone down that Ren Rabbit hole to push his album every single moment you can. COPY AND PASTE LINKS TO HIS ALBUM AND HIS STORY EVERYWHERE UNTIL ITS SATURATED. LETS SHOW THE WORLD WHAT WE CAN DO IN SUPPORT OF REN. COLLECTIVELY!

[@32a34a]

I just love the way he folds his jacket calmly and allows you to percolate like a sow in Alabama during the month of July.

[@teraferguson6660]

Thank you! You are the 1st reactor to talk about being disposable in corporate world, that was also my interpretation. You Rock!

[@jasonremy1627]

This one is next level. So many great people, not just Ren, involved in making this happen.

[@ckheffern]

I love finding your comments, bringing props to everybody 🙏🏼❤️

[@nataliabozzolan2183]

Hi Fil!!!!!!! Ren has left us all reflecting... It is rare to find artists today who talk about such profound topics. I can't stop thinking about the reality of my country (we are worse than ever, in a few days there are presidential elections and all the candidates are horrible), about the reality of the world (thousands are being killed at this very moment for things like religion and money, it's crazy). I have so many things on my mind... I really look forward to the day we wake up and stop being sheep.

[@manning-23-]

Supongo que sos Argentina, entiendo tu sentimiento jaja Pero definitivamente Ren ayuda muchisimo a pensar y tratar de mejorar como persona, particularmente yo soy muy sensible y me pega mucho casi todo lo que hace.

[@nataliabozzolan2183]

@@manning-23- adivinaste 😬 soy de Argentina, un país hermoso pero con unos politicos espantosos 🥺 Para mí también Ren es una persona muy especial, y si bien no he vivido las cosas por las que él pasó, me llega a un lugar muy profundo del alma. Hace un tiempo pasé por un período feo, y su arte me acompañó y me ayudó a superar ese momento

[@jacks9624]

Yes, he is on that side of human spectrum. You really should do Money game 1 (official video) and Money game 2 (lyric video). I think you'd like those too. Kind of gives the perspective of the whole idea growing in his head in time... in lyrics, in music and in meaning. Great reaction, Fil, thank you!

[@MissMeKate]

It's special isn't it. You'll love parts 1 and 2. 1 is cinematic like this, 2 is a lyric video but says so much.

[@Tica..77]

Best reaction / breakdown, (& thumbnail) FIL!! REN’s musical acumen mixed w/ his awareness exciting. He consistently surprises & challenges .. it’s quite rare 🥒❤️

[@margaretpickholtz8772]

Thanks for the reaction, you were good❤

[@khristianacampbell3356]

It’s been so many years since I have found an ARTIST that has absolutely captivated me like Ren. It seems as if he is all I listen to! Everything……all of it! Then…… his HUMANITY is even more amazing! I adore this guy!!!

[@tomaszbielak]

Great reaction! You definitely should see part 1 and 2. I could write a book about them, but... no spoilers, you'll see.

[@therosabella67]

I’m so glad you are reacting to Ren again. I absolutely love your reactions of him. You have such an insight and very intelligent way of saying things: just like Ren. Keep on shining

[@patriciacloix71]

Hello je suis tomber sur votre chaîne au hasard et comme depuis quelques semaines maintenant je ne quitte plus ce jeune homme nommé REN votre réaction et tellement juste et incroyable j'ai même pas les mots du pur génie un surdoué je me suis abonnée REN est unique in talent inestimable brilliant il sait tout faire comment est ce possible avec ses problèmes de santé Dieu est grand Dieu est amour merci infiniment depuis la France lu et approuvé 👍👏🇫🇷

[@norahdenovan8658]

What more is there to say about this beautiful man, he is doing his best to wake us up. Someone like REN comes along once in a generation. Such talent, real& honest. He leaves everyone completely stunned. Tragic&sad as it is, it is a masterpiece Love you man😌

[@andrelaschet3957]

I think you got the end right: Fuck me! That seems to be one of the right responses to most of Rens songs/pieces. The other one being: Fuck you Ren! (For making us feel shit. Or for making us think or just for showing off… ). Really enjoyed your reaction. Emotionally and … intelligent. ;-)

[@Peacetrain66]

Your breakdown of the meaning is really good! Thank you! Love the analogy about corporations, so spot on. Ren is a genius❤

[@dalemurray1318]

The first vocal is from Violet's Tale, and he ends with "It's such a shame" from Jenny's and Screeche's Tales. Alluding to the fact that is a generational tragedy too.

[@GB_slacker]

The thing that I love about Ren’s music is how he always taps into both his intellectual intelligence and his emotional intelligence, yet with a delivery so clear that it’s impossible to miss. You can see his point of view, but you also feel it.

[@thinuslamprecht6124]

Hi I am a fellow South African and really glad I found your channel. I enjoy how real and true your reactions are and I can see your passion for the art in your facial expressions. ❤ Thanks and keep them coming

[@traktician]

Thanks so much. Really appreciate it. ❤️🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@Chrisinpommyland]

I’ve just subbed, the passion and the spot on commentary is so much above other reactors that I had to.

[@carolschiffler6271]

Ren is a brilliant artist, and this was brilliant commentary. Absolutely genius on both counts.

[@YouPanic11]

That's crazy I was just looking over your videos 6 hours ago to see if you had a new Ren reaction up. Love your reactions.

[@brookemilne4085]

Difficult conversations must be had, and he's creating space for them. Your insights make sense, thank you for sharing your thoughts!

[@marianneszijj]

New sub here. I really appreciate your insightful commentary and enthusiasm for Ren’s special kind of genius. I am a music aficionado and have never come across an artist as talented and incredibly versatile as Ren. His musical library is deep and has had a profoundly positive effect on me. Thank you for helping promote his music. 💔❤️‍🩹❤️🐷

[@Apollo.Rising]

Loved your reaction to this masterpiece. I just wanted to add on to your thoughts on utopias, i agree with everything you said. I think Ren would too. He's talked about this in interviews, that he doesn't think utopias are necessarily possible but in working towards them we can move the needle closer than where it is now. He also said in his Million Subscribers Video to 'tread carefully, because one person's vision of heaven could be another's image of hell". It's a tricky subject and one it sounds like he's still wrestling with, but wanted to share what he's said along those lines.

[@jamiemacdonald6899]

Love that you referenced Akala. I think a lot of fans of Ren who are new to rap would really appreciate Akala's work. Great reaction.

[@MalcolmMXTaylor]

Always get a top notch reaction from you to a Ren song! Your comments about how to bring utopias to the world are fair as we may never be able to get consensus across cultures, religions, countries, etc etc, but as a species we have achieved many things (both good and bad), so whats to say that goal cannot be achieved? Anyway this is a powerful song sung from the heart of a great artist, along with the videographer sam and the whole team they have made something that at least equals Hi Ren and in 3days has over 1 million views (the first time ren has achieved the million in less than a week), and the Sick Boi album currently looking to chart at #1 or #2 in uk and at #1 on the itunes charts in various countries he is proving that an independent artist can mix it with the corrupt music industry and WIN!!!

[@larka742]

if its not possible to reach an utopia, I still think that going towards it and getting close is the right way to go. Its a statement like, you cant reach light speed.. sure, but getting close is still very very very fast.

[@MalcolmMXTaylor]

@@larka742 yeah I agree, but for the last few days since this release I've been trying to think of HOW to even start to try and unwind ourselves from the current reality to then build towards something that's even halfway to that utopia....and I've not come up with anything that doesn't start without a massive collapse of society (that could have been what happened with the ancient Egyptians and the pyramids or even what's under Antarctica that we've not been able to piece together...in other words maybe we have already tried this and made the same mistakes again...), but that near apocalypse doesn't sound too appealing...

[@TobiiRheaStarr]

REN just spits facts, always. He is insanely talented at EVERYTHING he does. He never fails to impress 🖤

[@jeremyrhoades2535]

23:19 well spoken. The problem is even bigger than that, though. Every individual human has their own ideas of what Utopia looks like we tribalize and collect ourselves with those who think like we think, but even with in those groups, you will find that there are some things that one man will find disgusting that another man does not or woman. You learn this when you move in with with your spouse for the first time and they have a habit that disgusts you, but it doesn’t disgusts them and then you’ll have a habit that disgusts them but it doesn’t disgust you. That is very pedestrian simple example but it scales up. And you’re absolutely right it takes an extreme amount of tyranny to enforce that type of thing even over a small country. And the worst thing is the one who is strong enough and coercive enough to talk a large enough group into buying what they’re selling is generally the last person that you would want in that position. Because they’re either a silver tongue, the devil or so violent and moody, that everyone around them is afraid. And the worst thing is they are 100% sure that their way is the way. And they generally have not integrated their shadow which means they’re going to have a clear conscious about everything they’re about to do because it is for the greater good. However, he’s not wrong about the fact that we position money too high on our list of priorities, for the love of money is the root of all evil.

[@UKmarlee]

The best artist 😂the worlds ever seen ! Watch!

[@stefanmegic493]

It takes more than intelligence to be intelligent. Amazingly said!

[@jeffreyallen-uw9uh]

LOVE your reaction -THX! REN is SPECIAL...you can't do enough REN:) TC

[@greenogre22]

when ren talks about people should be taught to use their brains i‘m sure he‘s meant the mass of people and not the smaller part that rules the world. because if the mass stood up for something then the rulers would have to follow.

[@HarleyQ14]

I'm a little late to this - I just found your channel today. The thing I love the most about watching these reactions to Ren's music is to watch people's emotional reactions to the lines that hit me so hard as well. You can really tell that his lyrics resonate with you and your passion for the topic and message that Ren is trying to get across really shows, which makes this such a great reaction video. Thank you :)

[@DetroitNickel]

Great reaction man. The plural of anecdote...is data. EDUCATE THEM, BROTHER!

[@darlinesly9364]

Very insightful reaction so far! I’ve watched many reactions to this song, however you’re noticing the direction of this Ren masterpiece quickly. Bravo!

[@shestu]

Impressive reaction, especially appreciated the interpretation of the early parts of the song. Very informative and added to my appreciation of the song and performance.

[@NixyRose72]

Such is the truth in the beauty. 45 ... the number of "mine mine gimme" in the US.... our 45 embarrassment. But yeah, Jimmy had so many chances to take a different path and help the world, but he constantly chose the greedy path. Trying to get his daddy's approval and then his dad died with no closure to that constant seeking. So he was stuck on that path forever grasping for that unattainable goal... spinning out until the life changing injury showed him the truth. Five years of brooding on his wasted life, following the "code" of the "land of the free" and all it got him was a lot of things. Lonely empty things and nothing but a broken body. Then He pressed the trigger. Our way of living, grasping for power and money (that isn't even real it's all a construct of our own device) and trying to grab everything we can get, whether we need it or not, always stepping on ppl just to get the biggest piece of the pie... even when we aren't hungry. It's suicide in the end. Humanity could be beautiful. We could be a community, working living in a harmonious environment. But we choose parasitic suicide. And maybe we don't deserve to survive. We keep choosing dystopia over utopia. We keep effing it all up! We need to change. Figure out where our societal path diverted and fix it. Else I'm afraid, like he said, humanity will consume itself to death. Ren is a genius and i hope ppl hear what he's saying and take it to heart. If we can wake ppl up we can teach our kids to be better and think for themselves. To work for each other and guide each other to eventually work as a whole instead of a lot of narcissistic greedy individuals maybe one day we'll have more ppl like Ren and less greedy. There will always be ppl who only think for themselves, but we need to rebalance the world to where there are more of the community and less of the greedy. Right now we've got it the wrong way up. We have more greed than community and that will be our end. Great reaction! 🌻

[@MarkTomblin]

Loved your tear-off-the-headphones rant: ❤ Capitalism (Consumerism) infantilizes adults to forever remain children wanting the chocolate bar at the checkout.

[@charleenk71]

You are the first reactor to point out the industrial feel to the background. Love that insight!

[@apexphaser8768]

Been waiting for this 🙌 😍 only words I had at the end was "Fuck man Ren " 🤯🔥🤯🔥🤯

[@AllenB2023]

Ren made a channel of VODs from his Twitch talking about this video. Knox Hills reaction has some behind the senses videos as well. And if you have KZbin premium there is a "The after-party with Ren." Which is a longer behind the senses with an reactor called Wolf Johnson. All great videos to watch how this masterpiece was made. Great reaction for a great video.

[@RenegadeRockChik]

Also, Knox Hill has an interview with Samuel Perry-Falvey, the cinematographer.

[@wynandmorgan9985]

Never knew the wheel could be reinvented.... Apparently, that's exactly what Ren is doing

[@redangel169]

The plural of anecdote is data. That's frigging brilliant.

[@Mirrorhead66]

When you have watched part 1&2 then the true genius of this masterpiece will reveal itself ❤️🐷🇬🇧

[@pitapita3559]

21:38 I hear you, but I think what Ren means by use their brains is something that you don't learn in ivy league schooling...He's talking about knowing what's unto life, in accordance with the good of our and other people's human nature, and being cognizant of reality and how to genuinely selflessly serve the good of it for our fellow man. Such brain users would come to see their own identity as social creatures whose dignity is based on the reality that they are rightfully happy when they are aligned with their actual potential as a gift of a social creature that's living for the love and good of their fellow man in this life. Genius, as you rightly say, is not enough... reigning in human nature to align with the good that's in it is the sort of thing we should be using our brains for and that is what Ren means here. Practically, we can only do this on an individual basis... in our own selves... and the more persons that do so or are open to, I imagine the better prospect for any good to happen at all in as much as it can

[@majbrat]

Well said.

[@jamessmart6647]

Ahh, the dichotomy of the human condition. We are able, but will never be able to. The beautiful bittersweet contradiction of being a sentient being with conscious intelligence. The fact that knowledge and action could save us, but at the same time it's the very thing that is destroying us!

[@FrankWarnerWords]

Fil, welcome to the machine. Metropolis, The Great Dictator, 1984, Ren Money Game. #QcumberSquad #Ren - Fil, I'm off back to the study.

[@hooflungpoo700]

The rain at the end rounds it all up nicely from 1 to 2 to 3 😊 watch 1 and 2 and you get even more

[@scottishemmaa2457]

Fab, insightful reaction as always Fil! When I first watched Money Game Part 3, I instantly thought of Akala! I think Ren is a great mix of Tyler Joseph and Akala! His writing can be very similar to both - he leans into many ‘Orwellian’ themes, as Tyler also does and then a lot of government/money/corruption themes like Akala. Ren even did the whole online treasure hunt and solving various clues, using collective intelligence etc like Tøp did leading up to the LOC/ SAI era! It’s brilliant having another artist dropping amazing music, while I wait on the next tøp album!

[@wendylynn7117]

Ren is a special kind of special as are you Fil...phenomenal thanku much love an God bless from Cyprus x

[@lysfleming3331]

Only one cut, near the end, to move the mic. Live. Amazing

[@Wigid303]

@ The Fable Shere,.,.. love you mentioned Akala. Another true Artist! Independent and speaking the truth they don't want talked about...... Big up sir

[@majbrat]

I really think he is speaking to the lack of critical thinking skills when he says use their brains. We have discussed this multitudes of times over the last 20 years - without those skills, people remain sheep. I see it everyday. Idiocracy is becoming real. Seeing you animated and the excitement hit you as thoughts are sparked by Rens performance is exactly the purpose of this Art. To spark thoughtfulness about the situation, discussion between people, and maybe some better choices people might make in raising their children in the future; to be more careful about teaching critical thinking skills and make them less likely to value the money game and it's trappings. Just Genius.

[@charlo7518]

I agree! Utopias dont work in reality... thats the absolute truth!! But the entire video is based on extremes.. i think more than anything to make you think... just a little bit.. its hard to do that nowadays!!

[@1TiredSloth]

I love your reactions to Ren’s music. Lots to think from your breakdown. And the George Orwell 1984 on the shelf… it’s awesome

[@markuss7249]

You have to do 1 and 2 also. There are continuations, which you had to miss , when starting with part 3. By the way, he talked of "utopias"... (many of them)

[@jitskebu7582]

It takes much more than just intelligence to be intelligent, yes! And that's to combine it with our hearts: the voice that you hear when your loosing the noose on the rope. Thanks for your reaction, loved watching it! ❤️

[@kitzer007]

So much for playing the video through and commenting later😅

[@didierblasco8116]

“I’m not going to be pausing much” - involuntarily pauses to comment on powerful moments. “I’m going to pause and talk, deal with it” - enraptured and completely forgets to pause for minutes at a time.

[@MrAndiron]

I feel like you spoiled the entire song in 9th minute! The way Ren glues the words and combines with visuals and music is incredible. My favourite reaction so far, thanks!

[@rexduffy7881]

Love the different interpretations from reactors .This is the deepest political delve in to an artistic masterpiece.

[@Photogeric]

Great breakdown on Utopianism and Dystopianism. I feel like you hit that spot on and is really my only complaint about this otherwise flawless work of art.

[@ydo-bc5wj]

Thank you for your reaction! I recognized some of Karl Popper's thoughts in there. Nice to be reminded of them!

[@JessiVermy]

Money Game Part 1 & 2 would be amazing and so insightful to see you react to!

[@bethscott4330]

You’re memorizing. I loved watching your analysis and your intellect on display. Keep it up!

[@NilZed1]

Really an excellent interview. Lots of answers and busting of myths some of the fandom is developing.

[@roystevenson9632]

Love this and your previous reactions to Ren, subscribed for Money Game 1 & 2.

[@pepinosylvie8887]

Love your reaction as always 👍 your insights and deep thoughts are so relevant... Check Money Game part 1 and 2, and you'll have the all perspective of what Ren tries to tell us. I'll be there for those reactions for sure ! Hope to see you do that. Thanks 😘

[@adam.4487]

Needs, wants and greed has been the decline of humanity. I get closer and closer to my "end of days" and I think I am glad that I will no longer be around when everything has collapsed completely. I kept wondering what will I be missing when people finally "get it"? I don't think I have to wonder anymore. There are still way too many humans that are just greedy. Just like Jimmy's father in this case. Where is the pride in Jimmy by his father with all he accomplished. After the good stuff Jimmy went off the rails and daddy dismisses him and I believe thinks him a loser. I think I know someone like that, selling lies seems more profitable for greedy and green hungry individuals.

[@im2yz4u17]

Oh my, beautiful reaction. I would like to point out, the ending line is a direct lyrical reference to Money Game 1 and 2. Please do watch both, I would love to see your reaction.

[@craigmitchell604]

Ren is a genius. Fil is a genius. Knox is a genius. All part of The Fable Sphere. May we follow these true leaders into the grassroots of hope.

[@sicnnasty]

Utopia is a God. If God is the ideal we should aspire to, whatever that ideal might be, then Utopia is also the ideal we should chase. But in the same way as when Man sought to build a tower to the heavens to attain godhood, but found only division and misunderstanding, seeking Utopia shines a light on the same divides.

[@atwellorama]

HAVE TO see the first two. The lyric video for part 2 is the one to watch. Also, the last part of this video takes a bit more meaning with first two songs in mind. Really ties them all together.

[@Jonesy32]

The most amazing song and video I have seen in a very long time!

[@zack_reacts]

Been waiting on this

[@zack_reacts]

FIRE! and one take! Great reaction!

[@woodywoodman2319]

Seriously... the trust required to just sit down like that near the end, without looking! I couldnt do it!

[@patrickrojas8514]

Brilliant. I always learn so much more from your reactions. So insightful 😮

Brilliant reaction 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@charlottejennex8820]

Broadway, I agree... gear reaction, thank you 😊

[@seserta1]

I really enjoy and love your reactions, I was eagerly waiting for this one.100% agree with all you have said. You should react to the previous Money Game 1&2 to see how he has intertwined the three of them

[@lovelight1]

ITS THE ETERNAL FIGHT FOR GOOD OVER EVIL....if you think that attaining utopia is easy then ...no..... until we live in and teach Love as the ONLY conversation we will continue down this hard road. Love and only love, teach your kids that they are accepted in ALL that they are =LOVE. Build it and it WILL grow.

Woah the fact u know akala man shows just how much worldly knowledge u have fabes
