I can’t believe you’re 19, I mean you don’t look old or anything, but your personality and style does make you seem more mature and older than you actually are. It’s weird to think you’re just two years older than me
yes .... yk i wouldn`t have been surprised if he had said he was 35 like his insightful approach to things and the kind of views and overall his introspective nature .... way mature than a 20 years old person is generally is... i mean just 3 years older than me . However, let us hope that we being the younger folks retain his maturity and wisdom via oculosmosis ( A word i just invented lol)!!
He is currently now 21, He said he's 19 and this video came out in 2020 he also said he's an Aquarius star sign, which is Jan - Feb so he was born in 2001 sometime during Jan and Feb. He's not that old, I'm older than him. I was born in 1998. 👍
Same, INFP has been consistent for me for about 8 years. But one time I got INFJ, and it was just after I read a lot of Ayn Rand and was 'hating normies' haha. If you ever are feeling generally protective or passionate about something or someone in particular, try it again and you might have switched your P for a J (although it'll return once you get yourself together again!)
Man I really need to actually read my copy of Norwegian Wood, I've read most his novels except for that and his recent Killing Commendatore, ahahah! My favorite has to be definitely Hardboiled Wonderland And The End of The World
I love Murakami, and he is definetely a good entry point into Japanese literature. However, I feel like authours like Natsume Souseki (Basically the most prolific writer in Japanese literature) go rather unnoticed, which is a great shame.
As a 17 year old girl I have made the conscious decision to pursue wisdom and knowledge. And I'll tell you my friend Your channel couldn't come at a better time This is a diamond
From my (obviously limited) INFJ-ist perspective, you often share the kinds of ideas that often resonate with me a lot, but the way you articulate them sounds more like an INTJ speaking. I could be wrong, of course, and I'm not sure if this observation makes any sense to you, bu those are just my two cents based on what I've seen of you so far. I'm looking forward to the Beats video. I always wanted to like them, then I read some of their works...and didn't feel it, which was a disappointment. Maybe I need to come back to them again after those few years. I did read them in my "angsty extreme existentialist" phase, so maybe I'd have a different outlook now.
He is same age as me. Wow. I thought he was older once he always sounds so intelligent and mature. I'm an INFJ and I thought that your ideas and thoughts resonate with mine so I was guessing that you could be INFJ too.
Alright lad, I am almost 30 years older than you and would consider myself fairly well read but I can tell from looking at a half dozen of your videos that even as a 20 year old you are probably better read than me. You are probably a talented musician. I am playing guitar for 33 years now and am a complete journeyman at best. But hey talent and application....the first I can't will and the second I can't muster (much!!) Anyway sir I very much enjoy your videos about books (having been a avid reader since I was about 9 years old). Here are some of my favourite authors with one or two books I particularly enjoyed. If you read this comment you might see a few titles you'd be interested in: Solzhenytsin: The First Circle (my absolute favorite by him) Dan Simmons (Ilium and Olympos, possibly surpasses his Hyperion Cantos) Glen Duncan (I, Lucifer and Weathercock, both excellent and Weathercock was a distressing and even uncomfortable read but worth it. Both book endings I thought were a little bit disappointing but still well worth reading) Cormac McCarthy (All The Pretty Horses. I know Blood Meridian is the critics choice but All the pretty horses is just ravishing) Irvine Welsh (Trainspotting, The Edinburgh dialect might put you off but it is an awesome awesome book) John Steinbeck (East of Eden, sort of like inhabiting a little world of its own for its duration) Jack London (The Call of The Wild) Joseph Heller (Catch-22, funny harrowing, solipsistic) Ethan Cohen (Gates of Eden, fantastic short stories) James Elroy (LA Confidential, infinitely better than the very good film) George Orwell (Coming Up for Air, took me by surprise) So there ya go. I read 1Q84 (all three parts) by Murakami and very much enjoyed this. Must some more of his stuff a read.
You really inspired me to get back to writing and doing art. The way you talk about the things you do is just precious; I can feel your passion through the screen. I'm so glad I found your channel. I think every aspiring artist should watch your videos. They're life-changing. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! Regards from Brazil!
I'd love to hear your thoughts on Kafka on the Shore. I read it few months ago and I fell in love with Murakami! I had just read The Master and Margarita and I was interested in magical realism, and that book was really good!
I think it’s so interesting that you mentioned that people on an intellectual journey will experience that “phase” where you feel like the world and it’s history is just so messed up and nobody else cares or understands. I thought I was the only one, but hearing your opinion made me feel better. Loved the video, 👍🏼😊
As a fellow INTJ, I'm noticing more and more that I tend to gravitate towards people and characters that are also INTJ. Blew my mind when I realized that
This vlog made my day😭. I was so confused about doing my UG degree. I love literature, but evryone around me was forcing me to study physics and they were not interested in literature. I was worried but you're absolutely right, I have to study what I love, not what others decide. Thank you so much and I'm loving your channel. Keep going!❤✨
I'm here 30yr Old still dreaming of writing a Novel. Your content is good. I look forward to read your book one of these days and surely let you know what I felt. Thank you.
I feel so connected like spiritually understood with this channel and the experiences. Your Book recommendations and just love for philosophy and psychology. And turns out I'M ALSO TURNING 20 IN 4 MONTHS. AQUARIUS HERE. And I'm a science student too who is finding love for art.But since my field will be more medicine related ( hopefully in the future connecting to psychiatry and neuroscience), I think I'll be happy. It's something that connects art and science for me. It's like getting something physical from a philosophy/ psychology book. I want to prove to people that psychology exists. It's a real thing. The first time I gave the mbti test, I got INFJ, then INFP and recently I got INTJ. I'm so done with this testing. I read about this test and cognitive functions etc for 2years through whatever source I could find. But nothing helps. So now I don't care about my type except for the fact that I'm sure I'm introverted intuitive. Rest just doesn't matter, I'll figure it out as life happens.
Me too. Actually I found out his video in recommendation and start exploring his videos then I found out that he's INTJ. No wonder I feel connected. Btw I'm nursing student and I hv no idea on connecting art and science. Thanks to ur comment, I think I'll able to figure it out.
i know a bit about jung's cognitive functions theory which is the basis of the MBTI system and from my perspective if we look out for functions you really look like an INFJ. some people on comments wrote that even your communication style is so INTJ but as an INFJ myself i can resonate how you talk or tell your opinions. i suppose i need to watch more videos of you to see if you use Fe or Te but... please don't make typing on letters, functions would be a better choice to search about. with a lots of research i did about enneagram too, i actually think you are an 4w5 sp/so or so/sp INFJ with 451 tritype which really can look like an INTJ and type 5 (INTJs are so common for 5s). i recommend you to search about enneagram too and see the slight difference between 4w5 (common for INFJs) and 5w4 (common for INTJs). in the end this is my humble opinion and hope i could help. have a great day.
10:25 YES! In 2019 I started a career just because it "taught me many things", not because I wanted to do that type of career. In october im going to start my second year of classical philology and I couldn´t be happier...even though I'm still not sure which path I'm going to take. (like research or teaching, or both, who knows)
Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage was the first ever Murakami book I read, I was frustrated and disappointed, I remember I read the ending 4 times to actually understand what happened, but nothing. Murakami left me with my own perspectives on that book and I love him for that, that book shattered my ego, that insignificant, unilluminating ending forced me to slow down and think, it made me realize that i don’t have any clue about anything whatsoever. Norwegian Wood was the next and still is one of my favorite books of all time, I’m simply in love with that book and Kafka on the Shore made me realize that I want to write. I love and value people who love Murakami’s writings, happy to hear that you like him too :)
The part about being extremely existentialist and this somewhat arrogant pessimism and as you said feeling isolated really resonated with me right now. Because exactly as you it feels like people don't understand, but obviously you know exactly what it feels like, so it made me feel a lot better too, thanks
Im intp yooo i love reading and am working on a novel rn but now its like i look at the work I’ve done so far and instantly get a headache. Theres so many ideas i want to portray and so many things i need to fix. It really is a problem for intp’s to finish a project 😂
For the writing part I honestly I agree with you man. Whenever I write I just get into this state of flow, which is really great because I lose all sense of time and the words just flow out of me like water🤣
I would almost put money on you being an infj and I'm no gambler. In fact I just discovered your videos today and 3 videos in I said this gentleman is an infj.. infjs have a hypnotic quality to them that is quite fascinating and not a cookie cutter in the lot. All I can say is thank you TH-cam algorithm and I hope you keep making content. Keep calm and carry on. 😌
The Wind up Bird Chronicle or even Murakami's short stories are probably much better than Kafka on the Shore in my opinion, but I definitely love Kafka on the Shore. If you love greek tragedies, I'm sure you'd love Kafka on the Shore. I love literature, and because I love Japanese Literature particularly, I decided to learn the language and read, so I can similarly relate to that note. Have you read Albert Camus?
Happy to find you on youtube, your advice and ideas are good and reliable. The fact that we are the same age is crazy, each video of yours is like having that super fluid and interesting conversation with some comrade. It inspires a lot. Saludos desde Argentina!
So excited for the future Beats video! I took a Kerouac & Ginsberg class with the Kerouac scholar Ann Charters and it was one of the best classes I've ever taken.
Personally, I pursue multiple interests as a means of avoiding burnout. Today I'll work on a story, tomorrow maybe some artwork or music, coding the day after that, etc. That's probably why I gravitated toward game development. My varied interests can be put to work on a single project.
Please do a video about Kafka on the shore when you read it! I am also a huge fan of Murakami and I would like to hear other people's opinion about the book and Murakami's writing style in general.
What do you think of Murakami’s way of writing? I’ve read Kafka on the Shore just recently and it was kinda disturbing at some point- the whole taboo/incest thing. Does literary merit/license stretch that far? Anyhow, I like the book and the metaphors it provided.
I believe literary licence (or any art) stretches as far as the laws permit. I don't think there should be any taboos within art, because disturbing stuff happens in real life and art should be allowed to depict that.
I was lucky enough to meet Jack Higgins who wrote The Eagle has Landed and several other books. I asked him for a writing tip and his one-word reply was - Start.
Oh, I understand you so well about the visual input of your writing experience. It's the same for me, especially for the fact that my writing is also deeply influenced by my love for Art and by the studies I've made in university about the different and manifold ways in which to "read" and fully embrace an artwork. By the way, I would love to see a video from you about the Beat movement and prose!
You are so incredibly bright and mature I've always thought you were much older lol, incredibly glad to see your channel grow so fast and good luck on your studies!
What you said about feeling isolated when the world is 'opening up' to people when they read more in that some become pompous was really comforting to me but not in the way you meant it. In my case I actually stunted my intellectual growth because of the loneliness of not being able to connect with anyone around as it was literally killing me. I thought trying to be interested in and learning what others liked would be more advantageous for my emotional wellbeing. Well, at almost 28 and 3 suicide attempts later that way of living hasn't done me any good. I'm terribly intimidated by others my own age with the same interests since they've went to University by this point and younger Gen Z'ers would probably look down on me for not being as well read or educated as I could be it leaves me back at a stand still in making any friends. The point is it's nice to know I didn't feel isolated just because I have these interests coming from a extremely poor background. I'm sure you count your blessings in that you have friends that have similar interests and are able to pursue a higher education.
You’re a great inspiration for people my age (even though you do not believe in inspiration). I’m gonna turn 20 in 4 months as well. I may have been one of those students doing a degree for the sake of it? But I’m also glad that I did my diploma in French alongside, even tho I was unsure, now I’m teaching it to someone and that has served me a lot I would say. I’ve been on and off with writing as well. I wish I would’ve stuck through with it, but I guess the lockdown really helped me in rekindling my passion towards writing stories. I’m currently working on the character profiles of my book, and it’s good to know that I’m already doing what you suggested-writing 500 words a day :)
Yup 3 days or so since I stumbled upon your channel and perfect timing I would say. I seriously wish either your channel was existed 10 yrs ago or I was 10 yrs younger at the moment.
Morbid Girl not true. They even change over time. A brain network is formed by genetics (obviously that bit you can‘t change) and experiences. Our brain is like a superpower and you can train your superpowers. I wrote my bachelor thesis about Mindfulness and how Meditation and Body Scans change the brain. There are studies that prove that you can even grow more grey matter in your brain. Grey matter contains most of the brains neuronal cell bodies. You can even learn to feel comfort in discomfort and become highly functioning without getting sick or unhealthy. You basically train your brain to give more and you teach yourself what you are capable of and it will become a new normal after a while.
@@liamariavoelker4162 I don't think you can understand the concept of cognitive functions. You can strengthen certain functions to a great degree but you'll never lose your "dominant" functions. Other functions can be acquired later on in life but they wouldn't be strong enough as "natural" cognitive functions. Yeah, personality still can't be changed but it can be maturer and healthier. Because of development of brain and it's capacity, cognitive functions will be developed over decades. You'll began to acquire functions you never had in your brain. Still, your "natural" cognitive functions will remain domaint and will be always stronger than "acquired " cognitive functions. That's what I meant.
To back up the other commenter, mistypes between INTJ and INFJ can happen because both the first and last cognitive functions match (leading Introverted Intuition with 4th slot Extroverted Sensing). While we all use all functions, our preferences or the order of operations our brains like to use do not change (unless under sustained pyschological distress).
thank u for the advice, it’s rlly helpful , I feel like too often we are pressured to pursue a degree because it’a the “right” thing to do and will make u successful but if u dnt know what u want to do or dnt like what u do, it is rlly a waste of time and will make unhappy and like what u said in the video dreading what u do everyday is not a good way to live
I didn't realize you're only 19, you seem "wise beyond your years" :) My 2 cents is not to stay in academia, but keep pursuing the entrepreneurial route you seem to be headed towards. It will give you so much more freedom.
WoW, the same happened to me too, in 2017 I did the test and I was an INFJ. In 2019, took it again, I tested as an INTJ. This year, I did it again, I tested INTJ again. Btw I really love your videos.
Him: I don't have a favorite author or book Also him: I love Murakami. He's one of my favorite authors of all time and his book Norwegian wood is probably one of my favorite books of all time. °__°
Love your channel man crazy how acceleration has blasted off this year for ya congrats! Question on “writing every day.” When I played basketball in high school it was essential to practice every day but we always had specific drills to work on...if you didn’t know these drills the best you could do is haphazardly shoot around until you get bored or tired which would be better than nothing but still wouldn’t improve you much. “Write every day” sounds similar to practicing basketball every day and I’m wondering what are the specific “drills” or structures of practice that will actually yield improvement? If I just crack open a notebook and write stream of conscious I feel like that’s just going out into the driveway and shooting hoops, I’m kinda getting better but my time could be structured more effectively if I know what drills to work on...Hope this made sense would appreciate any feedback. Cheers and keep it up buddy! 👍
thank God i already passed this existentialist-i reject the herd-literary goth phase of my life, and i'm still eighteen. thank you for reminding me that i've got a lot more to learn, i'm grateful.
It’s very cool to see a young smartie getting bitten by art! The fact that you like Jack Kerouac and Haruki Murakami is encouraging. I would suggest you check out Naropa Institute and see about studying with Anne Waldman. You can check out Naropa’s digital archive, especially classes with Alan Ginsberg. I would also suggest Shakespeare’s Sonnets, which are a textbook in how Western art works. Short list: Jack Kerouac “Mexico City Blues”, Homer “Odyssey”, Dante “Inferno”, Ovid “Metamorphosis “. Not to omit: Rushdie, V.S. Naipaul, maybe check out Will Self. Rilke, “letters of a Young Poet” Read Huang Po and Wei Wu Wei to burn away all of the above. Lol.
I originally got ENFP and I dived deeper into this MBTI subject and after introspecting, I got INFP and those were one of my darkest times in my life but after taking that test again with a lil less introspection this time and more sociable and funky lifestyle , I got ENFP back. So my conclusion is MBTI does not matter too much, all of us possess multiple traits which can be found in almost all 16 of types. It just cherry picks those traits and forms a four letter word and I even looked into cognitive functions and personally I think I possess a little bit of everything which makes it furthermore confusing and non conclusive just like my comment lol.
I can’t believe you’re 19, I mean you don’t look old or anything, but your personality and style does make you seem more mature and older than you actually are. It’s weird to think you’re just two years older than me

Yeah it was obvious
Most important question: how do you always get your hair to have that unkempt but stylish look? I need to know
It's simple. I'm a writer.
KPOP hairstyle
He probably just doesn't do his hair.
Atleast, that's what I do and I get a similar hair style I guess.
Keep it clean but don’t brush.
Two years ago I took 16personalities test and got INFP, two years later, after a lot of introspection and self assessment, still INFP...
Hilarious, same happened with me haha. (also, hello fellow infp!)
me too
By introspection and self assessment do you mean looking into cognitive functions?

Norwegian Wood was the next and still is one of my favorite books of all time, I’m simply in love with that book and Kafka on the Shore made me realize that I want to write.
I love and value people who love Murakami’s writings, happy to hear that you like him too :)
I’m also and Aquarius and an INTJ. No wonder why I like you so much, I guess great minds think alike 😂
aquarius + intj is the best combination. now I know why I watched almost all of your videos
I too am an INTJ Aquarius !!! Hello personality twin! 👋👋👋
One of my most favourite channels. Thank you for everything dude! ❤️
You are amazing. You are like three years younger than me and thirty times smarter 😅❤️
The godly knowledge is just transparent at this point.
INFP and I have read every Murakami book. He is my current favorite author.
this is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels !!!! love your content
The part about being extremely existentialist and this somewhat arrogant pessimism and as you said feeling isolated really resonated with me right now. Because exactly as you it feels like people don't understand, but obviously you know exactly what it feels like, so it made me feel a lot better too, thanks
5:52 couldn't have said it any better
How influential your episode..I am watching your videos in Kathmandu! Astonishing ya?
when you said you were an aquarius my first reaction was "of course you are"!
I love your videos they're really inspiring btw!
Wow 20, you are so mature for you age
Because he is well read.
Assoluto Cosmico well that’s their business not ours....
That is the epitome of the INTJ honestly
im a fan and have learned a lot from this channel but it makes me feel unskilled as a 23 year old lol
@Michael Craig McGee i mean youre both right, shes smart for making virgin guys in their 20s fall for her and get rich af off that
Im intp yooo i love reading and am working on a novel rn but now its like i look at the work I’ve done so far and instantly get a headache. Theres so many ideas i want to portray and so many things i need to fix. It really is a problem for intp’s to finish a project 😂
i never finish project - infp
but seriously though i gotta work on actually finishing stuff too ; ;
best of luck to your novel
For the writing part I honestly I agree with you man. Whenever I write I just get into this state of flow, which is really great because I lose all sense of time and the words just flow out of me like water🤣
a journalist of that internal world - my new favorite quote.
I would almost put money on you being an infj and I'm no gambler. In fact I just discovered your videos today and 3 videos in I said this gentleman is an infj.. infjs have a hypnotic quality to them that is quite fascinating and not a cookie cutter in the lot.
All I can say is thank you TH-cam algorithm and I hope you keep making content. Keep calm and carry on. 😌
The Wind up Bird Chronicle or even Murakami's short stories are probably much better than Kafka on the Shore in my opinion, but I definitely love Kafka on the Shore. If you love greek tragedies, I'm sure you'd love Kafka on the Shore. I love literature, and because I love Japanese Literature particularly, I decided to learn the language and read, so I can similarly relate to that note. Have you read Albert Camus?
Happy to find you on youtube, your advice and ideas are good and reliable. The fact that we are the same age is crazy, each video of yours is like having that super fluid and interesting conversation with some comrade. It inspires a lot. Saludos desde Argentina!
btw so many interesting recommendations! you're helping me to improve myself in many fields. stay safe!
0:44 Same! i always got INFJ but this past 2 years i got INTJ and it make sense. no wonder why i relate with you so much in every videos
So excited for the future Beats video! I took a Kerouac & Ginsberg class with the Kerouac scholar Ann Charters and it was one of the best classes I've ever taken.
Personally, I pursue multiple interests as a means of avoiding burnout. Today I'll work on a story, tomorrow maybe some artwork or music, coding the day after that, etc. That's probably why I gravitated toward game development. My varied interests can be put to work on a single project.
Please do a video about Kafka on the shore when you read it! I am also a huge fan of Murakami and I would like to hear other people's opinion about the book and Murakami's writing style in general.
Hang in there RC. Really enjoy your comments and reviews.
What do you think of Murakami’s way of writing? I’ve read Kafka on the Shore just recently and it was kinda disturbing at some point- the whole taboo/incest thing. Does literary merit/license stretch that far? Anyhow, I like the book and the metaphors it provided.
I believe literary licence (or any art) stretches as far as the laws permit. I don't think there should be any taboos within art, because disturbing stuff happens in real life and art should be allowed to depict that.
@@MrMickeei Well said
@@MrMickeei Still bad.
Taking a break from my studies to watch this. Thank you for all the videos, they are so lovely.
I was lucky enough to meet Jack Higgins who wrote The Eagle has Landed and several other books. I asked him for a writing tip and his one-word reply was - Start.
Hahah, I am also turning 20 soon, aquarius and INTJ and used to do physics as a major😂
Brilliant run of videos this week! It's a pleasure getting to know you through your thoughts on literature.
I KNEW YOU WERE AN INTJ. Thank you for the video
Oh, I understand you so well about the visual input of your writing experience. It's the same for me, especially for the fact that my writing is also deeply influenced by my love for Art and by the studies I've made in university about the different and manifold ways in which to "read" and fully embrace an artwork.
By the way, I would love to see a video from you about the Beat movement and prose!
You are so incredibly bright and mature I've always thought you were much older lol, incredibly glad to see your channel grow so fast and good luck on your studies!
What you said about feeling isolated when the world is 'opening up' to people when they read more in that some become pompous was really comforting to me but not in the way you meant it. In my case I actually stunted my intellectual growth because of the loneliness of not being able to connect with anyone around as it was literally killing me. I thought trying to be interested in and learning what others liked would be more advantageous for my emotional wellbeing. Well, at almost 28 and 3 suicide attempts later that way of living hasn't done me any good. I'm terribly intimidated by others my own age with the same interests since they've went to University by this point and younger Gen Z'ers would probably look down on me for not being as well read or educated as I could be it leaves me back at a stand still in making any friends. The point is it's nice to know I didn't feel isolated just because I have these interests coming from a extremely poor background. I'm sure you count your blessings in that you have friends that have similar interests and are able to pursue a higher education.
You’re a great inspiration for people my age (even though you do not believe in inspiration). I’m gonna turn 20 in 4 months as well. I may have been one of those students doing a degree for the sake of it? But I’m also glad that I did my diploma in French alongside, even tho I was unsure, now I’m teaching it to someone and that has served me a lot I would say. I’ve been on and off with writing as well. I wish I would’ve stuck through with it, but I guess the lockdown really helped me in rekindling my passion towards writing stories. I’m currently working on the character profiles of my book, and it’s good to know that I’m already doing what you suggested-writing 500 words a day :)
Yup 3 days or so since I stumbled upon your channel and perfect timing I would say. I seriously wish either your channel was existed 10 yrs ago or I was 10 yrs younger at the moment.
with me it's the reverse. I took the test and it came out as INTJ but over the years I realized that I'm an INFJ.
You can be a mix, also it can change ;) you are still an individual with unique life experiences.
@@liamariavoelker4162 not really. Cognitive functions can't be changed. It can depend on shadow functions which makes a person unhealthy.
Morbid Girl not true. They even change over time. A brain network is formed by genetics (obviously that bit you can‘t change) and experiences. Our brain is like a superpower and you can train your superpowers. I wrote my bachelor thesis about Mindfulness and how Meditation and Body Scans change the brain. There are studies that prove that you can even grow more grey matter in your brain. Grey matter contains most of the brains neuronal cell bodies. You can even learn to feel comfort in discomfort and become highly functioning without getting sick or unhealthy. You basically train your brain to give more and you teach yourself what you are capable of and it will become a new normal after a while.
@@liamariavoelker4162 I don't think you can understand the concept of cognitive functions. You can strengthen certain functions to a great degree but you'll never lose your "dominant" functions. Other functions can be acquired later on in life but they wouldn't be strong enough as "natural" cognitive functions. Yeah, personality still can't be changed but it can be maturer and healthier. Because of development of brain and it's capacity, cognitive functions will be developed over decades. You'll began to acquire functions you never had in your brain. Still, your "natural" cognitive functions will remain domaint and will be always stronger than "acquired " cognitive functions. That's what I meant.
To back up the other commenter, mistypes between INTJ and INFJ can happen because both the first and last cognitive functions match (leading Introverted Intuition with 4th slot Extroverted Sensing).
While we all use all functions, our preferences or the order of operations our brains like to use do not change (unless under sustained pyschological distress).
I've never been this early! Really wholesome video!
been watching your videos for a while and I think you have a goof balance of Infj and Intj personalities
thank u for the advice, it’s rlly helpful , I feel like too often we are pressured to pursue a degree because it’a the “right” thing to do and will make u successful but if u dnt know what u want to do or dnt like what u do, it is rlly a waste of time and will make unhappy and like what u said in the video dreading what u do everyday is not a good way to live
Norwegian Wood is definitely one of my favorites too.
I'm VERY excited for the beat generation video
Congrats on the 60k subs! Nice to know more about you haha!
Aaaaaaa he answered my question, I'm so happy
I didn't realize you're only 19, you seem "wise beyond your years" :) My 2 cents is not to stay in academia, but keep pursuing the entrepreneurial route you seem to be headed towards. It will give you so much more freedom.
Yehey! My question got picked!! Congrats on your 60+k subs!! 🎉🎉
My goal in life is to be as smart as him when I turn 19
I've come to know your channel yesterday. Your videos are pretty cool. Thanks for Uploading.
Congratulations on hitting 60k! This channel is amazing. :)
WoW, the same happened to me too, in 2017 I did the test and I was an INFJ. In 2019, took it again, I tested as an INTJ. This year, I did it again, I tested INTJ again. Btw I really love your videos.
Hey I'm INFJ. I knew we'd get along great :)
this is now my favourite channel.
Him: I don't have a favorite author or book
Also him: I love Murakami. He's one of my favorite authors of all time and his book Norwegian wood is probably one of my favorite books of all time.
°__°
Highlights "one of".
The fact that Norwegian wood was my first novel O..O And I loved it ofcourse
Love your channel man crazy how acceleration has blasted off this year for ya congrats! Question on “writing every day.” When I played basketball in high school it was essential to practice every day but we always had specific drills to work on...if you didn’t know these drills the best you could do is haphazardly shoot around until you get bored or tired which would be better than nothing but still wouldn’t improve you much. “Write every day” sounds similar to practicing basketball every day and I’m wondering what are the specific “drills” or structures of practice that will actually yield improvement? If I just crack open a notebook and write stream of conscious I feel like that’s just going out into the driveway and shooting hoops, I’m kinda getting better but my time could be structured more effectively if I know what drills to work on...Hope this made sense would appreciate any feedback. Cheers and keep it up buddy! 👍
Congratulations, bro! I see you from Ecuador, you really have a very good channel, and well, I can also practice my English watching you, take care 😎🤙
Congratulations! I remember being here just when you hit 15k!
thank God i already passed this existentialist-i reject the herd-literary goth phase of my life, and i'm still eighteen. thank you for reminding me that i've got a lot more to learn, i'm grateful.
Wow it's so satisfying to know that you're an INTJ
Just read Barn Burning again.
Your videos are amazing and inspiring
Thank you for the words and thoughts. Shout out from a literature student from Brazil! I really hope to see L`Academie translated to portuguese! :)
do a complete bookshelf tour ik u have before but do one that goes completely into it
Can't wait to read your book
How nice to see a fellow Aquarius and INTJ!
It’s very cool to see a young smartie getting bitten by art! The fact that you like Jack Kerouac and Haruki Murakami is encouraging. I would suggest you check out Naropa Institute and see about studying with Anne Waldman. You can check out Naropa’s digital archive, especially classes with Alan Ginsberg. I would also suggest Shakespeare’s Sonnets, which are a textbook in how Western art works.
Short list: Jack Kerouac “Mexico City Blues”, Homer “Odyssey”, Dante “Inferno”, Ovid “Metamorphosis “.
Not to omit: Rushdie, V.S. Naipaul, maybe check out Will Self.
Rilke, “letters of a Young Poet”
Read Huang Po and Wei Wu Wei to burn away all of the above. Lol.
I originally got ENFP and I dived deeper into this MBTI subject and after introspecting, I got INFP and those were one of my darkest times in my life but after taking that test again with a lil less introspection this time and more sociable and funky lifestyle , I got ENFP back.
So my conclusion is MBTI does not matter too much, all of us possess multiple traits which can be found in almost all 16 of types. It just cherry picks those traits and forms a four letter word and I even looked into cognitive functions and personally I think I possess a little bit of everything which makes it furthermore confusing and non conclusive just like my comment lol.
I am so happy that I have many things in common with my favourite youtuber
