i don't know what to explain. but you put words to things I have been feeling recently. Don't know to explain. it's like you were saying everything i was feeling and it was scary. I could literally cry. Feeling like the world is mine and that I just have to go conquer it. Uberboyo, you're the man.
I play in a Avant/Prog Rock band that explores dark themes and I think the synthesis of dark and light, and musical experimentation is very life affirming and the opposite of modern/postmodern values. My own artwork is very dark, but it's part of the process of how I express myself in a journey out of nihilism. There are many underground bands and artists who express power in their creations. And I think alot of Hip Hop and Gangster Rap is extremely nihilistic.
Art is a brutal thankless endeavor. Nobody is more critical of an artist than ourselves. Somebody thinks they have to be nice and not criticize my art because it will hurt my feelings. They don't realize I have criticized myself for countless hours in the studio. The worst they could possibly say, I have already said to myself a thousand times. So I would just laugh if somebody said my work was trash. They haven't been through what I have. The best artist in the world couldn't pick up a brush and paint like me. It took me fifty years to paint like me. And I am still evolving. Sometimes I have so many ideas flooding my mind that it drives me crazy. But the fact remains, there is no more powerful feeling in the world than creating something totally original. It really doesn't matter at all what anybody else thinks about it.
I write brutal death metal, extremely agressive. I also write extremely dark "depressing" rock music. It doesnt have to be all one or the other imo. I think the dark music can be good to get those feelings out and process them.
Better than Nirvana imho Death metal promotes all types of endorphin-esque ecstatic reactions within listeners, similar to the mentioned feelings of uplifted eternal victory, overcoming opposition, and conquest. Never felt this listening to Nirvana.
100%. I love bands like Dying Fetus, Disgorge, Suffocation etc. I also like Classical, jazz, Indian sitar music, drum and bass. I've always struggled to focus in one direction and finish projects..purely play.and compose music for myself these days.
I’m a artist and I am always trying to improve my art and this is very motivating, I have always wanted to create something that has substance and beauty to it.
I burnt all my paintings I've ever done and it felt so good now I work out all day.....I know what you are now none of you are real your just programs to torment me
With your insights, your articulate and energetic delivery, and the quality of your videos I can't believe you aren't one of the most popular channels on TH-cam. It really does say a lot about popular culture. You are a wolf amongst sheep.
I am a casual musician, and lately I have begun to see all the music I loved more clearly. I saw that almost all the music that spoke to me had the vibe of suicidal hysteria, deflated nihilism, or insane rage. I noticed that most popular music is very blatantly about nothing other than degenerate hedonism. It bothers me a lot and I have kind of retreated into the only music that doesn't give me bad vibes, mostly Bach or other instrumental music that carries an air of beauty, triumph, mystery, or other vibes don't make me feel like I'm indulging in something low, dirty, pathetic. I love jazz but I'm uncertain about it now. There's an exploration of fantastic new sounds but it also kinda makes me think of how so many great jazz musicians were addicts. As if the endless search for a surprising new combination of chord and melody to make me feel something is akin to the toxic desire to feel even higher pleasures after building tolerance to my latest drug fixation
I know what you mean, spent a lot of time self teaching myself guitar, in a bunch of practice sessions I remember thinking how a bunch of rock music is about being a gay or loving Satan
I have recently went down the same road. For years I was listening to the Doors and artists like Mac Miller. After listening intently to the lyrics in some of the songs by the doors, I came to the realization they are the sounds of depressing postmodernism. I still think their music is amazing but it’s completely depressing. I’ve recently started listening to more graceful and uplifting music. I’m a big fan of classic rock (that isn’t depressing). Also started listening to some classical music like Tchaikovsky and it so much more satisfying and calming. There’s balance to all things in life but if you listen to too much depressing music, you might just have the life sucked from you.
Commenting as I start watching this masterpiece & been following your content for a while - struggled with this concept for a while but as an "artist" there is much to be said about this topic. 2 things - 1) I ended up attending one of the best art schools in the world and realized the art world is actually lowkey bs - mainly tax schemes by people who are living an actual healthy life. Real art that touches on the profoundity of life never truly get recognized by the masses - a question I had to ask myself and got a lot of traction online was "Are you committed enough to yourself growth, that you heal the pain the drives your art?" - I realised i got too sucked into the idea of the label of being an artist, that i was subconsciously creating turmoil in my life to drive my artistic pursuits in a very selfishly driven self-destructive mode of operating my life and reinforced those ideas about myself and my life. when I understood this, this changed a lot for me. 2) I realised also that my goal was to create something that was in a sense transcendental to my own human experience and the human experience in general - but as I delved deeper into my philosophy about life and purpose and meaning and god *I struggled with nihilism & atheism* - I realized that no matter what I created, it could never surpass the creations of the supreme nature of existence. As I began to look at the artistry embeded into life itself, it somewhat tamed my need to create, because I realized I was already experiencing a creation that transcended normal human existence - and up until now i didn't recognize it. The harmony which exists in the artistry and design of nature itself is enough to drive a man into complete shock. And the more I recognized that truth, the more i understood that my purpose was less to create and more to enjoy the natural creations that already exist - the food, the women, the brotherhood, the friendship, the stories, the sorrow, the ups, the downs, the betrayals, the nature, the brutality. The main thing i feel obliged to create, is to give the canvas of my life color - through experiencing the creation and miracle that is life itself.
the torture experienced by artists and creative minds may be rooted in loneliness. How many people pay close enough attention to the world and it’s musings enough to want to make something out of it?
There is some truth to that. I hate to use that dirty word but it is also a kind of therapy because such people know they don’t fit it in so they subconsciously treat their creativity, like therapy. Most the time it’s like an escape because essentially creativity is a feminine quality, and femininity is passive. This isn’t a negative connotation at all because ultimately everything contains ‘gendered’ energy. Another angle is that all art is a worship or looking to worship the divine. To some it could be the other half missing from their life. The male artist today is a bit screwed unfortunately, because he is a human doing (not being) and being creative isn’t cool, high status, and even girly. Yet toxic masculinity is the problem isn’t it? Perhaps the answer lies there and that a male should concentrate on powerful and vital art and a lady on introspective and subtle? To answer your question at the end, not many at all, and hence why you have a point. Actually watched your clip literally just before this one, good work. Keep them regular. 🌹
I don't see why a non-lonely person couldn't pay attention to the world. If anything a connected person would get to see and experience more beauty, because they have the option to be alone or connected.
@@10Ammar creativity is 1000% a masculine energy. It's the pouring outward of energy, whether that be positive or negative. What I believe your are referring to as feminine, is the introspection that's required. Good art that is up lifting usually comes from people who have a good balance of masculine and feminine energy. Think Jimmy Page, David Bowie, etc
@@10Ammarnonsense, creativity is feminine? 😂 so is that why all of the greatest artists, poets, musicians, playwrights, movie makers, comedians, inventors, are all men? Women aren't even creative they just copy what men do
This discussion brings to mind a favourite passage of mine, by the great historian Will Durant, titled "A Shameless worship of heroes". Of the many ideals which in youth gave life a meaning and radiance missing from the chilly perspectives of middle age, one at least has remained with me as bright and satisfying as ever before -- the shameless worship of heroes. In an age that would level everything and reverence nothing, I take my stand with Victorian Carlyle, and light my candles, like Mirandola before Plato's image, at the shrines of great men. I say shameless, for I know how unfashionable it is now to acknowledge in life or history any genius loftier than ourselves. Our democratic dogma has leveled not only all voters but all leaders; we delight to show that living geniuses are only mediocrities, and that dead ones are myths. If we may believe Mr. Wells, Caesar was a numbskull and Napoleon a fool. Since it is contrary to good manners to exalt ourselves, we achieve the same result by slyly indicating how inferior are the great men of the earth. In some of us, perhaps, it is a noble and merciless asceticism, which would root out of our hearts the last vestige of worship and adoration, lest the old gods should return and terrify us again. For my part, I cling to this final religion, and discover in it a content and stimulus more lasting than came from the devotional ecstasies of youth. How natural it seemed to greet Rabindranath Tagore by that title which so long has been given him by his countrymen, Gurudeva - "Revered Master." For why should we stand reverent before waterfalls and mountain tops, or a summer moon on a quiet sea, and not before the highest miracle of all -- a man who is both great and good? So many of us are mere talents, clever children in the play of life, that when genius stands in our presence we can only bow down before it as an act of God, a continuance of creation. Such men are the very life-blood of history, to which politics and industry are but frame and bones. Part cause of the dry scholasticism from which we were suffering when James Harvey Robinson summoned us to humanize our knowledge, was the conception of history as an impersonal flow of figures and "facts," in which genius played so inessential a role that histories prided themselves upon ignoring them. It was to Marx above all that this theory of history was due; it was bound up with a view of life that distrusted the exceptional man, envied superior talent, and exalted the humble as the inheritors of the earth. In the end men began to write history as if it had never been lived at all, as if no drama had ever walked through it, no comedies or tragedies of struggling or frustrated men. The vivid narratives of Gibbon and Taine gave way to ash-heaps of irrelevant erudition in which every fact was correct, documented, and dead. No, the real history of man is not in prices and wages, nor in elections and battles, nor in the even tenor of the common man; it is in the lasting contributions made by geniuses to the sum of human civilization and culture. The history of France is not, if one may say it with all courtesy, the history of the French people; the history of those nameless men and women who tilled the soil, cobbled the shoes, cut the cloth, and peddled the goods (for these things have been done everywhere and always) -- the history of France is the record of her exceptional men and women, her inventors, scientists, statesmen, poets, artists, musicians, philosophers and saints, and of the additions which they made to the technology and wisdom, the artistry and decency, of their people and mankind. And so with every country, so with the world; its history is properly the history of its great men. What are the rest of us but willing brick and mortar in their hands, that they may make a race a little finer than ourselves? Therefore I see history not as a dreary scene of politics and carnage, but as the struggle of man -- through genius -- with the obdurate inertia of matter and the baffling mystery of mind; the struggle to understand, control and remake himself and the world. I see men standing on the edge of knowledge, and holding the light a little farther ahead; men carving marble into forms ennobling men; men molding peoples into better instruments of greatness; men making a language of music and music out of language; men dreaming of finer lives, and living them. Here is a process of creation more vivid than in any myth, a godliness more real than in any creed. To contemplate such men, to insinuate ourselves through study into some modest discipleship to them, to watch them at their work and warm ourselves at the fire that consumes them -- this is to recapture some of the thrill that youth gave us when we thought, at the altar or in the confessional, that we were touching or hearing God. In that dreamy youth we believed that life was evil, and that only death could usher us into paradise. We were wrong; even now -- while we live -- we may enter it. Every great book, every work of revealing art, every record of a devoted life is a call and an open sesame to the Elysian Fields. Too soon we extinguished the flame of our hope and our reverence. Let us change the icons, and light the candles again.
It's interesting in going balls deep on the musical path I've found that cheap pleasures are an annoyance to what I would call the religious experience of creating vital and long lasting artwork. Nothing hits quite like pure sonic bliss pouring out of your soul.
Spot on content good sir! Most of my artistic endeavors were in the pursuit of the spirit of Cobain but over the last 6 years a transformation has been occurring, where the spirit of Vitality is breaking through. I was recently in conversation with a former band mate about this and how I was experiencing this and how odd it was that I didn't want to write sad songs anymore, after 12 years of doing so. My artistic vision has broadened and my will hardened. My joy for creating music has increased by immense bounds and I can't wait to share it with others, compared to when I was generating the negative vibes and building much resentment towards a world that I was truly and still am naive of.
Hell yeah! Cobain was an asshole and a weakling. It was so stylish to be depressed and limp willed in the 90s (reaction of the 80s and hair rock). I grew up on that depressive nonsense, no more! 💪
The most heroic types of music are found within classical music and metal. Within classical metal, Franco Corelli singing Verdi's "Di quella pira" is a great example. Within metal, it is especially true for classic heavy metal (Black Sabbath - Neon Knights), power metal (Hammerfall - The Dragon Lies Bleeding), symphonic metal (Nightwish - Elvenpath), and progressive metal (Symphony X - Set the World on Fire).
The vital artist right now is the most prevalent in Japan with the manga industry these people produce what we produce in a month in a week and they do it back to back for years to a decade if not more they completely outpour the cup they have filled and what we're going to see is an international growth of this we're powerful vital stories that wake up people is going to reach the four corners of the Earth from every corner of the Earth
I fucking love Kanye ...I fucking love that motherfucker I see good in his eyes he drug me out of the heavy downpour ....I mitzi and my beutiful dark twisted me back .oh the black sut beat off the ..buzzards wings and i was the greatest blaxk man for fucking ...thirty min then Kanye... Feel feral again...I'm white as ash now ...too refective I'm glad he ..gonna set us all free ...someday ...
"It is not the writing itself that nauseates me, but the literary environment, from which it is impossible to escape and that accompanies you everywhere, like the earth's atmosphere. I don't believe in our intelligentsia, which is hypocritical, false, hysterical, rude, idle; I don't believe her even when she suffers and laments, since her persecutors come from her own bowels. I believe in individuals, in a few people scattered in every corner - be they intellectuals or peasants; in them is the strength, even if they are few." Apparently Checkov wrote this in a letter. Here, and in other opportunities, he explains his view of the art of storytelling. He was a doctor who began writing early, and is now considered one of the greatest short story writers of all time. In his life, he was known to work hard and enjoy his free time among people. His writings are eternal because he didn't write about particular events, ideas or in a flamboyant prose. He wrote about real people and the world he knew by living. Instead of closing himself in a room, letting his frustrations fill the papers, he used art as a means to convey stories worth telling.
bringing real art back into art, real poetry back in music is the life mission. we don't create for pleasure but for existence, not for appreciation but for beauty. 0018
I think Metal can also have that warrior energy that Hip Hop expresses. It's more rage oriented but to me it's more acceptable than the pathetic depressing energy from most other music. Of course both Metal and Hip Hop can still express that depressing energy as well.
Fascinating and thought-provoking, Creating something that embodies beauty, positivity, empowerment, and triumph, radiating vibrant energy into the world as the ultimate expression of the ideal. Yet, there's a unique beauty in the realm of darker energies, especially when viewed through the lens of transmutation. In my music production journey, the most crucial instrument is my emotional state. Often, it leads me to profound states of ecstasy. Even the darker tracks I create offer a semblance of this cycle, akin to a process of self-reinvention. It's like setting everything ablaze and emerging from the abyss with newfound momentum and rejuvenation, which is then channeled into the pursuit of the highest ideals. Dark energies possess a vitality of their own. Mastering the control of this energy is the key. For there can be no light without darkness.
I like that you brought up Rap because Kanye West is a very interesting example of the artist. He's extremely grandiose and certainly a creative genius, but he also experiences extreme lows given that he's bipolar. Since creativity from a neurological pov is rooted in problem solving, there's a proclivity for the minds of artists to develop long lasting conflict with the negative. You can't have the highs without the lows, it's just a matter of cherishing both ends of the spectrum. I used to rap/produce and I was pretty damn good if I must say so myself. I could make songs that were very lyrical, bragadocious, original and the rythym/soundscaping of the production was dystinct and most of the people I shared it with seemed to enjoy it. But I also made pretty dark/depressing/contemplative music too. I worked on an album that was designed to be a rise from depression/grief to power/victory and I think that was a nice attempt to reach the ideal you speak of. Vitality works best when it's cathartic imo. The idea of the grandiose/victorious artistry is definitely very interesting and it's prevailed before. The renaissance era is a good example of this. I think the main quality of art is that it's often a hyperbolization of either highs or lows. You look at renaissance era artwork and it really captivates your emotions, a lot of time it leaves people in awe because you witness these transcendent odes to divinity and beauty. But eventually, that era exhausts itself and the novelty disappears because it becomes the standard. Naturally, novelty is found in contrasting frames of mind. Kinda like the gravitation to abstract art and how Basquiat rose to popularity because what he was doing was so fundamentally different. Idk how the next great victorious/grandiose artist will be but as long as it's a breath of fresh air and original/profound, I'm all for it.
It’s sad to me that so many people write off rap because of how it presents itself, and it’s vulgarity. They just don’t understand how therapeutic it is to believe in your own selfish desires.
I honestly can't bring myself to care what a person has to say about art when said person is utilizing AI generated images. There's nothing vital about sitting back and watching dreams of a soulless machine in hopes that something "fun" comes up. Nietzsche would be disappointed.
Symbiotic life is a win-win situation without competition. Symbiosis is how we grew to have bodies; full ecosystems of various different organisms, including all the different cells of our bodies. Symbiotic win-win is a rarity on this planet, but is the ultimate goal of all evolution, including parasitic ones. Male vs female evolutionary arms race... will yield to a mutual love.
If you want the polar opposite of Nirvana, I would say it is Iron Maiden. Their songs often deal with dark topics, but their music is livid and full of energy. Up the irons!
I agree with the premise of life and vitality, but reject your notion that certain roles are favored by life over the other... The vital prey will elude, escape, and esconse from predators - living their lives with great vitality, passing on their genes to the next generation... 🧬 Life doesn't punish the weak so much as it rewards the strong... And strength isn't always aggression and violence. 💪
A lot of of the "positive" music has zero substance. It doesn't convince me in the slightest that its message is in any way authentic. Its celebrates mediocrity, the mantras of the last man. Nietzsche saw tragedy as the ultimate form of theatre and I think he would be one to recognize the importance of melancholy in music alongside triumph.
I’m a musician, in the indie genre, I’ve been around a lot of artists some very talented. I think what fundamentally makes someone an artist is a refusal to change for others. I remember everyone changing growing up and I refused to, my identity/individuality was sacred to me. So naturally I was socially isolated I refused to conform to the bullshit social hierarchy’s of school I refused to be indoctrinated and educated In university and instead chose to educate myself in philosophy, psychology, and music. In my opinion art is basically a repression of the ego to allow the will of nature as someone like Schopenhauer would put it or the will to life (Nietzsche) the collective unconscious(Jung) the sex drive(Freud) the Soul (Christianity) it’s the repression of judgment and ego. This is why drugs make you a better musician, and I have personal experience with this specifically drugs with psychedelic thus ego suppressing quality’s or pain killers like Cobain took which also have a spiritual ego suppressing quality. Art is the collective manifested through the individual. So if you want to make good art suppress your ego by any means necessary and educate yourself enough where the collective unconscious or will of nature has enough material to cling to as it flows up and out of you. Maybe I sound crazy but I’ve found this to be 100% true. I’ve written over 100 songs and released 25. The artist is a vessel for pre existing forces not much more then that. Personally I don’t think it matters if the art is dark or not. Cobain was a genius maybe his own downfall was the price he had to pay for extreme greatness. Cobain was no less of a man or artist then anyone else just because of how his life ended. In my opinion he was just more artistically and philosophically honest. Sure there’s plenty of more mentally stable Artists, but were they as good??? Were they as honest? Think of Nietzsche in a somewhat similar way to Cobain I think he paid for his genius with a bitter insane end. Who fucking cares about becoming some sort of jacked “Ubermench” in this insane world. I understand self improvement I workout I try to stay moderate with everything. But Cobain is perhaps one of the best ever… maybe to portray this idea of Ubermench Nietzscheians love to talk about so much. You should also consider intellectual honesty. Who wants to portray some sort of rarely lived incredible life in their art. Would Ubermench Nietzschian art simply be about getting laid and being ripped and intellectually superior??? Lol. Art is honest art is spiritual. In many ways it penetrates to the core of things in a way philosophy never could… if you try to impose any rule set over your art. If you try to make it not “weak” or “loser” like you said of Cobain you will never amount to anything. Rules kill art, they’re meant to be broken. Rules are part of the ego and the ego is not involved in true creation. Cobain knew this and any real artist knows this
This is well said. And Uberboyos point about how sick artists art infect people to feel sick is really nonsense. Then how people that never listened to Cobains music but they felt depressed and sick like him when they first time heard Cobains music they related to it and felt catharsis after that because finally they finally felt understood. I think art heal and help people to go through life thats in its nature harsh. I will give an example: Miyazaki creator of Ghibli movies he also felt weak,pessimistic,and inferior thorugh his life and had depression but yet he made the most beautiful drawings and movies ever that comfort people these days.
I realized in early high school, most popular art, especially music, was like this, and i have strived to create more vitality affirming art ever since. I really dont like a lot of the music people listen to. Lately i am working on making atmospheric meditation type music, and my art is often focused on beautiful geometry
Melancholia seems to be part of the life of special people. Earlier this year I found out that I was a "baby" and I had an argument with a beautiful but sometimes "Androgynous" woman. Now I know there is an art by another German, Albrecht Dürer (a hero of Freemasonry) called Melencholia with Putto the baby and Androgyna the Angel
Sorry to be off-topic, but do you have any tips of learning how to speak? I know you mentioned singing lessons in the past, I'm sure that helps with getting the intonation right, but is there any other method/practice that you used to become a more engaging speaker? Of course, I know that much of it comes to practice, I'm not shying away from endlessly recording myself and correcting mistakes, but just wanted to know if you have any tips. Thanks.
I remember during high school art class I showed my art teacher the cover of the Terry Goodkind novel "Faith of the Fallen" which depicts a man making a statue of a vital and powerful looking man and woman standing together ready to take on the world (which reflects the content of the book too). I thought it was a powerful art work and it spoke to me on a spiritual level. My art teacher hated it and told me that it's kitsch and not to make art like that...🙃
Weird man... I had today a dream telling me to watch this video. Lately i feel like what you were describing about kurt cobain. In the dream you made a intro with jimmyboyo. You talked about men going to elysium. You showed a ai made video. A man holding a red and gold flag. Standing triumphant and surrounded by a destroyed scenery. This ai video is like what you described, a art piece that makes you feel power. I notice that the flag was part of a mandala. The mandala was showing that this is part of life. Thank you for this video
I just watched a YT documentary on Curt Cobain and thought the same thing. It reminds me somewhat of how Nietzsche and Jung viewed philosophers as "sick" in the sense that they live life through external examination rather than direct experience. I suppose depressed artists escape life through expression or "purging" of their internal suffering instead, as they are often unable to overcome it. That said, Cobain was still above the average man as he was able to define an entire Zeitgeist. Despite his emotional pain, Cobain probably made more out of life during his short time on Earth than the average man with potential ever will in his entire life.
This extreme will to power or WILLPOWER itself is going to do harm....it makes me think of Nietzsche and the way it drove him into madness..If one forgets love and the way it lifts the spirit off to measure up to power there is no genuine relational participation. Yes, it is desire that drives the artist, but I think the "Muses" carry this in the name of love. Ultimatly The Power of Love...The ability to transform
Nietzsche got mad because of an illness either syphilis or something else and not because of his philosophy Edit: Ohh and will to power and willpower are two different things you shouldn't confuse with each other. In German "Willenskraft" and "Wille zur Macht" the terms Kraft(force) and Macht(might) get smushed together in the translation into the term "power".
The sublimity of true beauty, how great in the state of awe it leaves you. There is no life without beauty-to view life as an artistic endeavor, one in which-you-the individual, becomes-the aesthete-of your existence. To move through life with sophistication, grandeur, and exoticism-creating glamour and mystique through your essence. Life as the aesthete shall be likened to an ever-constructing magnum opus that is crafted continuously. In the way in which Botticelli approached painting-is the way in which the aesthete approaches life-as an artistic endeavor-constructing their work amongst other aesthetes-with their singular work a part of a greater collective oeuvre, striving to be-the magnum opus-amongst magnum opuses. -The Aesthete & A Life of Allure
One question remains open: how do you overcome nihilism without god? Second question: how do you fight and not work and not become dialectician? Remember how people in renaissance gained power, influence and position? And finally, third question: if there are so many predictions made by Nietzsche, wouldn't it be good to prepare for them in such a way that it makes it possible for the next generation to enter the struggle for the position of a classical nobility? Or is it simply easier to "save the west" by teaching them online, those decadent but rich people, how to talk, walk, and dance?
I think this is why "You Get What You Give" by the New Radicals is one of my favorite songs. I'm not super into music, but as far as modern western music that I've heard, I think this song does one of the best jobs at portraying this sort of vital "you can conquer the world" energy. It's also a great tune to hype me up before lifting. I try to incorporate some of these Nietzschean ideas in my own artistic works, as an amateur comic book artist. Although fantasy will always to some degree be escapist in nature, I try to create stories that have strong life-affirming themes.
Not sure I agree with you about the purpose of food and species eating species in a competition for power... An earthworm never has the capability to beat a lion... There's no competition in that scenario or ones similar.
I compose and record my own songs. If I wrote a list of songs I have deleted from my hard drive immediately after completion...it would be a long list.
Where can I find people who buy post modernism art? I'm pretty sure I can just draw some random stuff and present it with intellectual jargon to them and they would buy it.
Cobain achieved wealth, fame, success, and status to an enormous degree, and Michelangelo was also the sculptor of La Pieta. Cobain procreated, Michelangelo did not.
Money and fame are not success if acquired in a society where Men get fame when they put on a dress and paint their nails and women become rich when they show their private parts to thousands of underage boys on the internet. Success today is the man (or woman) that is strong enough to not follow the herd, the rules of this sickly and wicked society.
Everyone has to make a sacrifice. Michelangelo will inspire the best in humanity forever. He achieved perfection. Cuban inspired suicide and decay for a generation at best.
The world is filled with too much garbage, layers over layers of trash that has hidden the simple truth, and if you are to peel off all this mental confusions all that knnowlage will disapear and the self will also disolve.
These artists are manufactured by Tavistock. Ray Manzarek was getting ready to play a role in the army with long hair in the 1960s, you don't have long hair in the army in the 1960s. Dave Grohl is a actor.
i don't know what to explain. but you put words to things I have been feeling recently. Don't know to explain. it's like you were saying everything i was feeling and it was scary. I could literally cry. Feeling like the world is mine and that I just have to go conquer it. Uberboyo, you're the man.

With your insights, your articulate and energetic delivery, and the quality of your videos I can't believe you aren't one of the most popular channels on TH-cam. It really does say a lot about popular culture. You are a wolf amongst sheep.
Been waiting for an upload, another banger
I am a casual musician, and lately I have begun to see all the music I loved more clearly. I saw that almost all the music that spoke to me had the vibe of suicidal hysteria, deflated nihilism, or insane rage. I noticed that most popular music is very blatantly about nothing other than degenerate hedonism. It bothers me a lot and I have kind of retreated into the only music that doesn't give me bad vibes, mostly Bach or other instrumental music that carries an air of beauty, triumph, mystery, or other vibes don't make me feel like I'm indulging in something low, dirty, pathetic.
I love jazz but I'm uncertain about it now. There's an exploration of fantastic new sounds but it also kinda makes me think of how so many great jazz musicians were addicts. As if the endless search for a surprising new combination of chord and melody to make me feel something is akin to the toxic desire to feel even higher pleasures after building tolerance to my latest drug fixation
I know what you mean, spent a lot of time self teaching myself guitar, in a bunch of practice sessions I remember thinking how a bunch of rock music is about being a gay or loving Satan
I have recently went down the same road. For years I was listening to the Doors and artists like Mac Miller. After listening intently to the lyrics in some of the songs by the doors, I came to the realization they are the sounds of depressing postmodernism. I still think their music is amazing but it’s completely depressing.
I’ve recently started listening to more graceful and uplifting music. I’m a big fan of classic rock (that isn’t depressing). Also started listening to some classical music like Tchaikovsky and it so much more satisfying and calming.
There’s balance to all things in life but if you listen to too much depressing music, you might just have the life sucked from you.
Commenting as I start watching this masterpiece & been following your content for a while - struggled with this concept for a while but as an "artist" there is much to be said about this topic. 2 things - 1) I ended up attending one of the best art schools in the world and realized the art world is actually lowkey bs - mainly tax schemes by people who are living an actual healthy life. Real art that touches on the profoundity of life never truly get recognized by the masses - a question I had to ask myself and got a lot of traction online was "Are you committed enough to yourself growth, that you heal the pain the drives your art?" - I realised i got too sucked into the idea of the label of being an artist, that i was subconsciously creating turmoil in my life to drive my artistic pursuits in a very selfishly driven self-destructive mode of operating my life and reinforced those ideas about myself and my life. when I understood this, this changed a lot for me. 2) I realised also that my goal was to create something that was in a sense transcendental to my own human experience and the human experience in general - but as I delved deeper into my philosophy about life and purpose and meaning and god *I struggled with nihilism & atheism* - I realized that no matter what I created, it could never surpass the creations of the supreme nature of existence. As I began to look at the artistry embeded into life itself, it somewhat tamed my need to create, because I realized I was already experiencing a creation that transcended normal human existence - and up until now i didn't recognize it. The harmony which exists in the artistry and design of nature itself is enough to drive a man into complete shock. And the more I recognized that truth, the more i understood that my purpose was less to create and more to enjoy the natural creations that already exist - the food, the women, the brotherhood, the friendship, the stories, the sorrow, the ups, the downs, the betrayals, the nature, the brutality. The main thing i feel obliged to create, is to give the canvas of my life color - through experiencing the creation and miracle that is life itself.
This is a great video & subject Boyo - never a miss with you.
Cool comment
the torture experienced by artists and creative minds may be rooted in loneliness. How many people pay close enough attention to the world and it’s musings enough to want to make something out of it?
There is some truth to that. I hate to use that dirty word but it is also a kind of therapy because such people know they don’t fit it in so they subconsciously treat their creativity, like therapy. Most the time it’s like an escape because essentially creativity is a feminine quality, and femininity is passive. This isn’t a negative connotation at all because ultimately everything contains ‘gendered’ energy.
Another angle is that all art is a worship or looking to worship the divine. To some it could be the other half missing from their life.
The male artist today is a bit screwed unfortunately, because he is a human doing (not being) and being creative isn’t cool, high status, and even girly. Yet toxic masculinity is the problem isn’t it? Perhaps the answer lies there and that a male should concentrate on powerful and vital art and a lady on introspective and subtle?
To answer your question at the end, not many at all, and hence why you have a point.
Actually watched your clip literally just before this one, good work. Keep them regular. 🌹
I don't see why a non-lonely person couldn't pay attention to the world. If anything a connected person would get to see and experience more beauty, because they have the option to be alone or connected.
@@10Ammar creativity is 1000% a masculine energy. It's the pouring outward of energy, whether that be positive or negative. What I believe your are referring to as feminine, is the introspection that's required. Good art that is up lifting usually comes from people who have a good balance of masculine and feminine energy. Think Jimmy Page, David Bowie, etc
Sensitive minds!
@@10Ammarnonsense, creativity is feminine? 😂 so is that why all of the greatest artists, poets, musicians, playwrights, movie makers, comedians, inventors, are all men? Women aren't even creative they just copy what men do
This discussion brings to mind a favourite passage of mine, by the great historian Will Durant, titled "A Shameless worship of heroes".
Of the many ideals which in youth gave life a meaning and radiance missing from the chilly perspectives of middle age, one at least has remained with me as bright and satisfying as ever before -- the shameless worship of heroes. In an age that would level everything and reverence nothing, I take my stand with Victorian Carlyle, and light my candles, like Mirandola before Plato's image, at the shrines of great men.
I say shameless, for I know how unfashionable it is now to acknowledge in life or history any genius loftier than ourselves. Our democratic dogma has leveled not only all voters but all leaders; we delight to show that living geniuses are only mediocrities, and that dead ones are myths.
If we may believe Mr. Wells, Caesar was a numbskull and Napoleon a fool. Since it is contrary to good manners to exalt ourselves, we achieve the same result by slyly indicating how inferior are the great men of the earth. In some of us, perhaps, it is a noble and merciless asceticism, which would root out of our hearts the last vestige of worship and adoration, lest the old gods should return and terrify us again.
For my part, I cling to this final religion, and discover in it a content and stimulus more lasting than came from the devotional ecstasies of youth. How natural it seemed to greet Rabindranath Tagore by that title which so long has been given him by his countrymen, Gurudeva - "Revered Master." For why should we stand reverent before waterfalls and mountain tops, or a summer moon on a quiet sea, and not before the highest miracle of all -- a man who is both great and good? So many of us are mere talents, clever children in the play of life, that when genius stands in our presence we can only bow down before it as an act of God, a continuance of creation. Such men are the very life-blood of history, to which politics and industry are but frame and bones.
Part cause of the dry scholasticism from which we were suffering when James Harvey Robinson summoned us to humanize our knowledge, was the conception of history as an impersonal flow of figures and "facts," in which genius played so inessential a role that histories prided themselves upon ignoring them. It was to Marx above all that this theory of history was due; it was bound up with a view of life that distrusted the exceptional man, envied superior talent, and exalted the humble as the inheritors of the earth. In the end men began to write history as if it had never been lived at all, as if no drama had ever walked through it, no comedies or tragedies of struggling or frustrated men. The vivid narratives of Gibbon and Taine gave way to ash-heaps of irrelevant erudition in which every fact was correct, documented, and dead.
No, the real history of man is not in prices and wages, nor in elections and battles, nor in the even tenor of the common man; it is in the lasting contributions made by geniuses to the sum of human civilization and culture. The history of France is not, if one may say it with all courtesy, the history of the French people; the history of those nameless men and women who tilled the soil, cobbled the shoes, cut the cloth, and peddled the goods (for these things have been done everywhere and always) -- the history of France is the record of her exceptional men and women, her inventors, scientists, statesmen, poets, artists, musicians, philosophers and saints, and of the additions which they made to the technology and wisdom, the artistry and decency, of their people and mankind. And so with every country, so with the world; its history is properly the history of its great men. What are the rest of us but willing brick and mortar in their hands, that they may make a race a little finer than ourselves? Therefore I see history not as a dreary scene of politics and carnage, but as the struggle of man -- through genius -- with the obdurate inertia of matter and the baffling mystery of mind; the struggle to understand, control and remake himself and the world.
I see men standing on the edge of knowledge, and holding the light a little farther ahead; men carving marble into forms ennobling men; men molding peoples into better instruments of greatness; men making a language of music and music out of language; men dreaming of finer lives, and living them. Here is a process of creation more vivid than in any myth, a godliness more real than in any creed.
To contemplate such men, to insinuate ourselves through study into some modest discipleship to them, to watch them at their work and warm ourselves at the fire that consumes them -- this is to recapture some of the thrill that youth gave us when we thought, at the altar or in the confessional, that we were touching or hearing God.
In that dreamy youth we believed that life was evil, and that only death could usher us into paradise. We were wrong; even now -- while we live -- we may enter it. Every great book, every work of revealing art, every record of a devoted life is a call and an open sesame to the Elysian Fields.
Too soon we extinguished the flame of our hope and our reverence. Let us change the icons, and light the candles again.
It's interesting in going balls deep on the musical path I've found that cheap pleasures are an annoyance to what I would call the religious experience of creating vital and long lasting artwork. Nothing hits quite like pure sonic bliss pouring out of your soul.
Spot on content good sir!
Most of my artistic endeavors were in the pursuit of the spirit of Cobain but over the last 6 years a transformation has been occurring, where the spirit of Vitality is breaking through. I was recently in conversation with a former band mate about this and how I was experiencing this and how odd it was that I didn't want to write sad songs anymore, after 12 years of doing so. My artistic vision has broadened and my will hardened. My joy for creating music has increased by immense bounds and I can't wait to share it with others, compared to when I was generating the negative vibes and building much resentment towards a world that I was truly and still am naive of.
Hell yeah! Cobain was an asshole and a weakling. It was so stylish to be depressed and limp willed in the 90s (reaction of the 80s and hair rock). I grew up on that depressive nonsense, no more! 💪
Cobain never had a victory except for world known rockstar status fame & fortune
The most heroic types of music are found within classical music and metal. Within classical metal, Franco Corelli singing Verdi's "Di quella pira" is a great example. Within metal, it is especially true for classic heavy metal (Black Sabbath - Neon Knights), power metal (Hammerfall - The Dragon Lies Bleeding), symphonic metal (Nightwish - Elvenpath), and progressive metal (Symphony X - Set the World on Fire).
The vital artist right now is the most prevalent in Japan with the manga industry these people produce what we produce in a month in a week and they do it back to back for years to a decade if not more they completely outpour the cup they have filled and what we're going to see is an international growth of this we're powerful vital stories that wake up people is going to reach the four corners of the Earth from every corner of the Earth
I am 5 minutes in. You are describing Kanye

"It is not the writing itself that nauseates me, but the literary environment, from which it is impossible to escape and that accompanies you everywhere, like the earth's atmosphere. I don't believe in our intelligentsia, which is hypocritical, false, hysterical, rude, idle; I don't believe her even when she suffers and laments, since her persecutors come from her own bowels. I believe in individuals, in a few people scattered in every corner - be they intellectuals or peasants; in them is the strength, even if they are few."
Apparently Checkov wrote this in a letter. Here, and in other opportunities, he explains his view of the art of storytelling. He was a doctor who began writing early, and is now considered one of the greatest short story writers of all time. In his life, he was known to work hard and enjoy his free time among people. His writings are eternal because he didn't write about particular events, ideas or in a flamboyant prose. He wrote about real people and the world he knew by living. Instead of closing himself in a room, letting his frustrations fill the papers, he used art as a means to convey stories worth telling.
bringing real art back into art, real poetry back in music is the life mission. we don't create for pleasure but for existence, not for appreciation but for beauty. 0018

Artists are crushed by their hangers on and record companies these days
I think Metal can also have that warrior energy that Hip Hop expresses. It's more rage oriented but to me it's more acceptable than the pathetic depressing energy from most other music. Of course both Metal and Hip Hop can still express that depressing energy as well.
Fascinating and thought-provoking,
Creating something that embodies beauty, positivity, empowerment, and triumph, radiating vibrant energy into the world as the ultimate expression of the ideal.
Yet, there's a unique beauty in the realm of darker energies, especially when viewed through the lens of transmutation.
In my music production journey, the most crucial instrument is my emotional state. Often, it leads me to profound states of ecstasy. Even the darker tracks I create offer a semblance of this cycle, akin to a process of self-reinvention. It's like setting everything ablaze and emerging from the abyss with newfound momentum and rejuvenation, which is then channeled into the pursuit of the highest ideals.
Dark energies possess a vitality of their own.
Mastering the control of this energy is the key.
For there can be no light without darkness.
I like that you brought up Rap because Kanye West is a very interesting example of the artist. He's extremely grandiose and certainly a creative genius, but he also experiences extreme lows given that he's bipolar. Since creativity from a neurological pov is rooted in problem solving, there's a proclivity for the minds of artists to develop long lasting conflict with the negative. You can't have the highs without the lows, it's just a matter of cherishing both ends of the spectrum.
I used to rap/produce and I was pretty damn good if I must say so myself. I could make songs that were very lyrical, bragadocious, original and the rythym/soundscaping of the production was dystinct and most of the people I shared it with seemed to enjoy it. But I also made pretty dark/depressing/contemplative music too. I worked on an album that was designed to be a rise from depression/grief to power/victory and I think that was a nice attempt to reach the ideal you speak of. Vitality works best when it's cathartic imo.
The idea of the grandiose/victorious artistry is definitely very interesting and it's prevailed before. The renaissance era is a good example of this. I think the main quality of art is that it's often a hyperbolization of either highs or lows. You look at renaissance era artwork and it really captivates your emotions, a lot of time it leaves people in awe because you witness these transcendent odes to divinity and beauty. But eventually, that era exhausts itself and the novelty disappears because it becomes the standard. Naturally, novelty is found in contrasting frames of mind. Kinda like the gravitation to abstract art and how Basquiat rose to popularity because what he was doing was so fundamentally different.
Idk how the next great victorious/grandiose artist will be but as long as it's a breath of fresh air and original/profound, I'm all for it.
It’s sad to me that so many people write off rap because of how it presents itself, and it’s vulgarity. They just don’t understand how therapeutic it is to believe in your own selfish desires.
@@jamm_affinityFacts man. It can be such an uplifting genre when done right
I honestly can't bring myself to care what a person has to say about art when said person is utilizing AI generated images. There's nothing vital about sitting back and watching dreams of a soulless machine in hopes that something "fun" comes up. Nietzsche would be disappointed.
Symbiotic life is a win-win situation without competition. Symbiosis is how we grew to have bodies; full ecosystems of various different organisms, including all the different cells of our bodies.
Symbiotic win-win is a rarity on this planet, but is the ultimate goal of all evolution, including parasitic ones.
Male vs female evolutionary arms race... will yield to a mutual love.
If you want the polar opposite of Nirvana, I would say it is Iron Maiden. Their songs often deal with dark topics, but their music is livid and full of energy. Up the irons!
I agree with the premise of life and vitality, but reject your notion that certain roles are favored by life over the other... The vital prey will elude, escape, and esconse from predators - living their lives with great vitality, passing on their genes to the next generation... 🧬
Life doesn't punish the weak so much as it rewards the strong... And strength isn't always aggression and violence. 💪

A lot of of the "positive" music has zero substance. It doesn't convince me in the slightest that its message is in any way authentic. Its celebrates mediocrity, the mantras of the last man. Nietzsche saw tragedy as the ultimate form of theatre and I think he would be one to recognize the importance of melancholy in music alongside triumph.
Hardcore music has some really positive masculine energy. Overcoming adversity is a core theme.
I’m digging your channel and going hard into Nietzsche. Keep it up. Your content is good stuff to binge on.
Very nice. Thanks!
I’m a musician, in the indie genre, I’ve been around a lot of artists some very talented. I think what fundamentally makes someone an artist is a refusal to change for others. I remember everyone changing growing up and I refused to, my identity/individuality was sacred to me. So naturally I was socially isolated I refused to conform to the bullshit social hierarchy’s of school I refused to be indoctrinated and educated In university and instead chose to educate myself in philosophy, psychology, and music. In my opinion art is basically a repression of the ego to allow the will of nature as someone like Schopenhauer would put it or the will to life (Nietzsche) the collective unconscious(Jung) the sex drive(Freud) the Soul (Christianity) it’s the repression of judgment and ego. This is why drugs make you a better musician, and I have personal experience with this specifically drugs with psychedelic thus ego suppressing quality’s or pain killers like Cobain took which also have a spiritual ego suppressing quality. Art is the collective manifested through the individual. So if you want to make good art suppress your ego by any means necessary and educate yourself enough where the collective unconscious or will of nature has enough material to cling to as it flows up and out of you. Maybe I sound crazy but I’ve found this to be 100% true. I’ve written over 100 songs and released 25. The artist is a vessel for pre existing forces not much more then that. Personally I don’t think it matters if the art is dark or not. Cobain was a genius maybe his own downfall was the price he had to pay for extreme greatness. Cobain was no less of a man or artist then anyone else just because of how his life ended. In my opinion he was just more artistically and philosophically honest. Sure there’s plenty of more mentally stable Artists, but were they as good??? Were they as honest? Think of Nietzsche in a somewhat similar way to Cobain I think he paid for his genius with a bitter insane end. Who fucking cares about becoming some sort of jacked “Ubermench” in this insane world. I understand self improvement I workout I try to stay moderate with everything. But Cobain is perhaps one of the best ever… maybe to portray this idea of Ubermench Nietzscheians love to talk about so much. You should also consider intellectual honesty. Who wants to portray some sort of rarely lived incredible life in their art. Would Ubermench Nietzschian art simply be about getting laid and being ripped and intellectually superior??? Lol. Art is honest art is spiritual. In many ways it penetrates to the core of things in a way philosophy never could… if you try to impose any rule set over your art. If you try to make it not “weak” or “loser” like you said of Cobain you will never amount to anything. Rules kill art, they’re meant to be broken. Rules are part of the ego and the ego is not involved in true creation. Cobain knew this and any real artist knows this
This is well said. And Uberboyos point about how sick artists art infect people to feel sick is really nonsense. Then how people that never listened to Cobains music but they felt depressed and sick like him when they first time heard Cobains music they related to it and felt catharsis after that because finally they finally felt understood. I think art heal and help people to go through life thats in its nature harsh. I will give an example: Miyazaki creator of Ghibli movies he also felt weak,pessimistic,and inferior thorugh his life and had depression but yet he made the most beautiful drawings and movies ever that comfort people these days.
I realized in early high school, most popular art, especially music, was like this, and i have strived to create more vitality affirming art ever since. I really dont like a lot of the music people listen to. Lately i am working on making atmospheric meditation type music, and my art is often focused on beautiful geometry
Martial industrial bands come close to this ideal like triarii, legionarii, wappenbund, waffenruhe, theusz etc.
They sure do.
What do you think about James Lindsay? I heard you casually speaking in a jokingly manner about the "Demiurge" a few times.

Melancholia seems to be part of the life of special people. Earlier this year I found out that I was a "baby" and I had an argument with a beautiful but sometimes "Androgynous" woman. Now I know there is an art by another German, Albrecht Dürer (a hero of Freemasonry) called Melencholia with Putto the baby and Androgyna the Angel
Sorry to be off-topic, but do you have any tips of learning how to speak? I know you mentioned singing lessons in the past, I'm sure that helps with getting the intonation right, but is there any other method/practice that you used to become a more engaging speaker?
Of course, I know that much of it comes to practice, I'm not shying away from endlessly recording myself and correcting mistakes, but just wanted to know if you have any tips. Thanks.
Hi Uberboyo, good work 👏 Are you still based in Éire? Just moved back from france man to a homestead in the hidden heart ☘️
Thank you.
I remember during high school art class I showed my art teacher the cover of the Terry Goodkind novel "Faith of the Fallen" which depicts a man making a statue of a vital and powerful looking man and woman standing together ready to take on the world (which reflects the content of the book too). I thought it was a powerful art work and it spoke to me on a spiritual level. My art teacher hated it and told me that it's kitsch and not to make art like that...🙃
German technical death metal, is the pinnacle. Necrophagist in particular.

Weird man... I had today a dream telling me to watch this video. Lately i feel like what you were describing about kurt cobain. In the dream you made a intro with jimmyboyo. You talked about men going to elysium. You showed a ai made video. A man holding a red and gold flag. Standing triumphant and surrounded by a destroyed scenery. This ai video is like what you described, a art piece that makes you feel power. I notice that the flag was part of a mandala. The mandala was showing that this is part of life. Thank you for this video
Why did you part ways with Jimothy. I really enjoyed those episodes and the banter
Rock is still a life affirming music. Just gotta listen to the right subgenres. Power metal like DragonForce, Sabaton. Yes. Grunge, not so much.
I just find it weird that all this "non life affirming" music is WAY better then the majority of the opposite.
Bruzl, I was addicted to heroin on the colddd streets of Seattle, the whole city is spiritually empty, thank god i survived & am making music
The music from The Doors and Jim Morrison's poetry is very Nietzschean in a way.
La Mona Jimenez is the dionysian Ubermensch that reins supreme as the great font of ecstatic vitality in art. Cuarteto, Cordoba, Argentina.
I just watched a YT documentary on Curt Cobain and thought the same thing.
It reminds me somewhat of how Nietzsche and Jung viewed philosophers as "sick" in the sense that they live life through external examination rather than direct experience.
I suppose depressed artists escape life through expression or "purging" of their internal suffering instead, as they are often unable to overcome it.
That said, Cobain was still above the average man as he was able to define an entire Zeitgeist. Despite his emotional pain, Cobain probably made more out of life during his short time on Earth than the average man with potential ever will in his entire life.
Can you make a video on Taoism
This extreme will to power or WILLPOWER itself is going to do harm....it makes me think of Nietzsche and the way it drove him into madness..If one forgets love and the way it lifts the spirit off to measure up to power there is no genuine relational participation. Yes, it is desire that drives the artist, but I think the "Muses" carry this in the name of love. Ultimatly The Power of Love...The ability to transform
Nietzsche got mad because of an illness either syphilis or something else and not because of his philosophy
Edit: Ohh and will to power and willpower are two different things you shouldn't confuse with each other. In German "Willenskraft" and "Wille zur Macht" the terms Kraft(force) and Macht(might) get smushed together in the translation into the term "power".
Maybe love isn’t what’s missing in good people these days.
AI art is degenerate art.
Hey Steph, I've got a playlist called 'Non Ironic Testoterone' that should do the job.
Have you read Bronze Age mindset?
The sublimity of true beauty, how great in the state of awe it leaves you. There is no life without beauty-to view life as an artistic endeavor, one in which-you-the individual, becomes-the aesthete-of your existence. To move through life with sophistication, grandeur, and exoticism-creating glamour and mystique through your essence. Life as the aesthete shall be likened to an ever-constructing magnum opus that is crafted continuously. In the way in which Botticelli approached painting-is the way in which the aesthete approaches life-as an artistic endeavor-constructing their work amongst other aesthetes-with their singular work a part of a greater collective oeuvre, striving to be-the magnum opus-amongst magnum opuses.

The equestrian with the forelegs up signifies the rider died in battle.
One question remains open: how do you overcome nihilism without god? Second question: how do you fight and not work and not become dialectician? Remember how people in renaissance gained power, influence and position? And finally, third question: if there are so many predictions made by Nietzsche, wouldn't it be good to prepare for them in such a way that it makes it possible for the next generation to enter the struggle for the position of a classical nobility? Or is it simply easier to "save the west" by teaching them online, those decadent but rich people, how to talk, walk, and dance?
I think this is why "You Get What You Give" by the New Radicals is one of my favorite songs. I'm not super into music, but as far as modern western music that I've heard, I think this song does one of the best jobs at portraying this sort of vital "you can conquer the world" energy. It's also a great tune to hype me up before lifting.
I try to incorporate some of these Nietzschean ideas in my own artistic works, as an amateur comic book artist. Although fantasy will always to some degree be escapist in nature, I try to create stories that have strong life-affirming themes.
That song is so fking great
Thus spoke Zarathustra!!
Not sure I agree with you about the purpose of food and species eating species in a competition for power... An earthworm never has the capability to beat a lion... There's no competition in that scenario or ones similar.

You want music that epitomizes this feeling? Sabaton.
Cobain achieved wealth, fame, success, and status to an enormous degree,
and Michelangelo was also the sculptor of La Pieta.
Cobain procreated,
Michelangelo did not.
Money and fame are not success if acquired in a society where Men get fame when they put on a dress and paint their nails and women become rich when they show their private parts to thousands of underage boys on the internet.
Success today is the man (or woman) that is strong enough to not follow the herd, the rules of this sickly and wicked society.
Everyone has to make a sacrifice. Michelangelo will inspire the best in humanity forever. He achieved perfection. Cuban inspired suicide and decay for a generation at best.
