If the World Hates You, Turn It Into a Movie 🍿🎥🎬

A Moped Outlaws dispatch from the trembling edge of the human condition.

You know you’re in for trouble when a documentary opens with scripture.
Not the soft, comforting kind.
The kind etched into prison walls and whispered by prophets who’ve seen too much:

“If the world hates you…”

That’s where Cameron Smith begins The Loneliest Boy on Earth, and that’s where this conversation begins — with a man who didn’t just peer into the abyss but rented it a U-Haul and moved in for a season.

This isn’t a redemption arc.
It’s a collision in slow motion.

On Moped Outlaws, Cameron sits with Greg and Marc like a man freshly returned from a private war — part monk, part madman, part kid who never got the rulebook. His eyes carry the unmistakable glint of someone who’s been alone too long and found strange treasure in the ruins.

Loneliness? He mined it like lithium.
Obsession? He turned it into a storyboard.
Spiritual awakening? More like a cosmic concussion.

Most people chase romance.
Cameron hunted ghosts.

And the ghosts won — until he decided to film them, study them, interrogate them like a one-man Senate hearing on heartbreak.

“If you stare at your demons long enough, they start asking you for lines in your movie.” — Cameron Smith

This documentary didn’t begin as art.
It began as self-extraction.
Like ripping a splinter the size of a telephone pole out of your chest.

Cameron spent years falling for women who wouldn’t return fire.
Anyone else would take the hint.
He took notes.

He chased fantasy.
He chased pain.
He chased the version of himself he thought someone might finally choose.

Then one day — shower steam, dopamine haze, bong rip evaporating off the tiles — he snapped.

Not the bad kind.
The creative kind.
The holy kind.
The “burn down the temple and sift through the ashes for god” kind.

He realized his Achilles heel wasn’t a flaw. It was a format.

Take the wound.
Tape the wound.
Turn the wound into a feature-length character study.

And when he dropped that first episode into the world, something cracked — not just in the audience, but in him. The ego shivered. The masks curled in the flame. Childhood ghosts woke up. His mother cried. New fights happened. Old emotions slithered out of crawl spaces.

Somewhere between the carnage and catharsis, the girl he fell in love with at twelve walked back into his life like a deus ex machina with impeccable timing.

And here’s the kicker:
This time, he didn’t perform.
He didn’t strategize.
He didn’t run the Robert Greene playbook like a lonely CIA operative.

He just showed up.
Open. Present.
Like a man who’d already died once on screen.

It was the most punk rock thing he’s ever done.

This episode isn’t about filmmaking.
It’s about the messy, ecstatic, terrifying miracle of turning your own psychological wreckage into a road map.

It’s Buddhist hellfire — burning away the bullshit self.
It’s Hunter S. Thompson — chasing truth with a net made of nerves.
It’s Cameron — stumbling through the dark, laughing, bleeding, filming, becoming.

If the world hates you?
Good.
Film it.

5 TAKEAWAYS FOR THE SPIRITUALLY POSSESSED & CREATIVELY DERANGED

You can outrun your past until it gets bored — or you can film it and move on.
Either way, the ghosts get their screen time.
Radical honesty is a flamethrower. Handle with reverence.
The truth will not set you free until it incinerates everything pretending to be you.
Creativity isn’t therapy. It’s open-heart surgery with a GoPro strapped on.
Yet somehow, it works.
Loneliness is a guru if you stop begging it to leave.
Sit with it long enough and it stops lying to you.
Love arrives when the performance dies.
The universe hates a mask but adores a witness.
