- I've been going through some of the roughest months of my life lately. I genuinely didn't know if I would even be here a few months ago; health and life are truly fickle things. Now that I am regaining my health and am situated in my new place, I have found myself writing more like I used too. While I have plans to make more editing and topic heavy content, sometimes I just want to write...and then write some more (sorry my videos are so long). I find that if I don't write, i'll just drive myself mad. I have lots of things I want to say and do in my life, growing this channel is one of them. I really do appreciate all the support and joy you all offer to me. I cannot believe I am almost at 50,000 subs. I'll probably never have very fancy videos on my channel. I just want too write and express my mind to anybody who wants to listen. However, I always want to improve the quality of what I do. I intend to keep learning and to keep growing alongside all of you. Thank you all for giving an ear to me, I really am blessed.
Glad to see you return, and hope things go up from here
Amen to that
Count the comments of this vid vs the actual number of comments and you will find a discrepancy. I've been trying repeatedly to comment on multiple accounts and it gets instantly deleted please can you tell Aogiri to make a twitter or something so I can actually communicate without having my comment removed?
Listening to this made me realise that I am on a wrong path
But I am grateful that I recieve your words.
I am agnostic but I found this argument profound and intelligent. Interspliced with insightful commentary around the state of the social world, I could not stop listening. Perspectives such as this give me hope that true open discourse is possible between contrarian viewpoints. I long for a world like that.
You are a brilliant writer. It was exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you.
this channel is literal gold
Your ability to transform feelings and thoughts into words is incredible. I’ve thought recently of many of the things you discussed. God, ego, change, authority, community, power. All of my thoughts have been messy, all feelings. Feelings that can express and articulate but can’t be shared as I’m not the best with words, or sharing them for that matter. You’ve given me a lot to think about, thank you.
Don't be sorry for writing so much. Your words are always a pleasure to digest.
This channel is a true gem, There is so much to learn from you, im gratefull and I hope for you your health and other hardships will pass and/or make you stronger. If anyone has the tools to overcome such things it would be you
It is strange that many people (younger men in particular it seems to me) have ended up thinking along similar lines recently. Your thinking seems very similar to my own but yours is much more clear cut. My close friends have expressed similar thoughts as well yet we have all lived different lives. We've all ended up in almost the same place from different starting points and without any communication, Idk it seems weird to me that this would happen.
Your interpretation of the idea of God is very refreshing to hear because I always sound crazy when I try to explain this to close confidants. God cannot be an all good bearded man in the clouds as normies and diehard theists claim, it is surely a force of nature and the universe more like order and chaos than a singular minded higher being no? I have no idea.
I've had a strange little crisis in the last week or so, I was set on a path and have been slowly improving for years but I've fallen down almost to the depths I was in when I was 18 (5 years ago). I would be totally defeated if not for my strong family and I keep going for them. Sounds like your own situation has improved a bit, hopefully that will continue because your vids are useful in realigning my mind and for others too I'm sure.
I've rambled too much, thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Stay strong my brother. You’re still a ripe young 23 and whatever life throws at you it won’t be enough to sway you off the path. We are better than that. 💪
Reading this helped me more than you would ever know brother. Glad to know im not alone out here stay safe and strong
I’m also a young 23 yr old male. It’s been said humanity is currently undergoing a mass awakening. Since young men tend to be the most vital link in a functioning society, we are the first to register or perceive subtle or often imperceptible changes to a functioning society and the world that may not be so clear to the average person who may be drifting through the world without any deeper purpose or calling. Take this as a sign that you are on the right path brother, blessings🙏🏽
I find your interpretation of god to be most logical, not to think of god in terms of being human, but rather a great force that encompasses all of us and gives us life. The fact that certain people use these gifts to cause pain to others does not make the idea of god itself evil. Just like the blacksmith isn't evil if a customer used his knife to kill another man. Nor is he good if the same customer used it to cut an apple into slices for his friends. God is merely a form of energy, the greatest, but not one with any active say in what happens. It's more like, a battery of some sort. Or atleast that's how I'd like to view the concept.
Recently I've been thinking about the old Faust movie and this scene always comes back to linger in my mind, and especially after this one
Scene 5
Faust: What I’ve learned through your instruction
re-asserts again that big and small are only
the two sides to the one coin;
and that the elephant-for all his mighty strength-
is no different, basically, to the tiny flea.
So still I seek the force, the reason,
governing life’s flow,
and not just its external show.
Mephistopheles: The governing force? The reason?
Some things can’t be known;
they are beyond your reach even when shown.
Faust: Why should that be so?
Mephistopheles: They lie outside the boundaries
that words can address;
and man can only grasp those thoughts
which language can express.
Faust: What? Do you mean that words
are greater yet than man?
Mephistopheles: Indeed they are.
Faust: Then what of longing or affection;
pain or grief?
I can’t describe these,
yet I know they’re in my breast!
What are they?
Mephistopheles: Without substance, as mist is.
Faust: In that case, man is only air as well!
Er… [Pauses to look at script]
What has made me thirst, then,
To be instructed in those things
that are more than speech allows?
Mephistopheles: Your thirst is artificial,
fostered by the arrogance in you;
so look no further
than all your human brothers do:
sleep, eat, drink, and let that be sufficient.
Faust: Liar and foul traitor!
Where are the pulse and core of nature
you promised to reveal? Where?
Mephistopheles: Faustus, you lack the wit to see them
in every blade of grass.
first, welcome back aogiri!
🤓
as always, thanks aogiri. You make my day, my week, my month, and my future.
The social commentary is on point as always. Glad to have you back Aogiri
It is my wish more people understood these things. Maybe just maybe we would stop trying to destroy each other and dominate and instead move towards God with no more distractions.
Keep up the good work bro these videos are great sources of strength, for all of us i hope
Amazing work this has given me a better perspective, one that I needed. Thank you
They say you break a man who excelled, by putting him somewhere that he's just average.
I've been going through one of the toughest times in my life where I lost everything.
I was like a god in high school; Student Body President, Varsity Volleyball Team Captain & MVP, PEP Band Conductor.
And now in college, I'm a nobody.
I was struggling so much with self-worth and purpose that I would cry a lot, multiple times a day.
It was the words of 3 men that pulled me out of this hole;
David Goggins, Andrew Tate, and You.
Those Joshua Graham videos gave me so much guidance that I needed so desperately, and this one is just sealing the deal. I know it's going to be a lonely path I'm on where I don't drink or party in business school.
Why would I party if there's nothing to celebrate.
I must get on the train and stay on it. I'm so lucky to have found you and I appreciate your work so much. I'm honestly inspired and want to make things like you.
If I were you, I would be proud to be on the pedestal with the Top G and the Hardest Man Alive.
This was a breath of grease air. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing such wise words. After the storm the sun comes. Hope and Faith are two of the greatest Virtues one can carry and cultivate. Keep up the good work
I normally don't write on TH-cam comments but I really wanted to say how much this channel is amazing and how is one of the few channels (specially this video) where I always find myself coming again and again to listen to.Thank you for everything and please continue to produce these amazing type of videos/writings, and if you don't what I learned here was already enough to make an impact on my life that many people I know face to face couldn't do, stay strong and again thank you for everything.
Nearly a 40 min video after some break? Damn, you spoil us.
(pls do not take it as sarcasm I do enjoy your creations)
Your messages that include harsh critiques are the most useful. I find motivation when I am shamed for something that I know, or can at least be made to see, is sinful or unproductive. I don't get motivated by praise, that only brings a temporary relief which feels good but it doesn't move me forward.
I come back to these now and then. I haven't found many things that make me think as clearly as your vids, they're great.
I heard recently something along the lines that young people thanks internet and complete lack of community or connection to anything have become almost totally detached from reality and live in a curated, prawnagrafic online lie, it rather clicked with me and a lot of my masochistic tendencies and weird unreal feelings has make a lot more sense. I'm grateful for you're video for clarifying this point. I hope I can walk a good path and not continue to do self defeating things. amen
Keep this going, love this kind of content!!
Thank you for all that you do! We are all suffering behind masks of normalcy, and we know that you are no different, so take your time and recover. You have helped me a lot in fixing my mindset, which used to be self defeating and full of resentment. I view things differently now and I have to thank a lot of that to this channel. Good to see you back and know that you are in my prayers
We all have hard time in our life, everyone one or another will eventually faces hardship in there life. I am here with you, and I wish you the best, it is hard but I know you can do it.
Thank you for making videos
Wow, this are some deep understanding thoughts i love it, I like to write to myself about life topics and those all interesting things of our indifference in my journal too
Thank you
Thought provoking and awe inspiring, you are a wonderful artist and human being 💖
A change of location can do wonders for the body and mind it's true. Will you be making more Joshua vids? Yours are honestly the best out there. Everyone elses seem like they just let a AI write the script but yours seem so real and deeper.
Thank you my friend
You say the same things I say man, I hope to be as well spoken and as wise as you sir.
Edit: holy shit that last minute goes hard
such a good video. always good videos 👍
He speaks for us.
Beautiful. My messiah has returned. My day is made thank you my mentor
LMAOOOOAA YOU GOTTA BE JOKING
@@BoredAmericanProbably just hyperbole. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You know the things he is saying came from people wiser than him + his life experience
Don't meet your heroes as the saying goes

you've got my vote
Welcome back!
very very few channels have made me pause the video while I'm eating kettle chips because I could not hear the words clearly
The first listening gave me an impression of hearing both Dawkin's selfish gene, and Saint Thomas d'Aquin's concept of internal Christ, at the same time.
Truly brilliant
Stay strong soldier
Ingnorance is bliss so they say. The more we know , the more there is to know
Hi Aogiri, Is it possible to use the Voice of Jon Lipow for one of your future videos? He played V2 Snail in Armored Core 6 and his voice is really cool in my opinion. Love your work and writing!
It is what it is
It kinda reminds me of how I do in my university, like at the end of the day I really don't understand much despite having some vague wide strokes of knowledge. My curse probably is the fact that I can study those things to understand them, as for actually going around and doing is not comforting or "fun" to say the least. Like I can't imagine passing university without convincing myself that I understanding of the topics I'm interested in
At the end of the day everyone can do better than that, perhaps teachers could also stop assuming we know things that are obvious to them as well.
Yes! NGL but youre advice is next to Gods. Its some of the only advice i take to heart.
What do you read @Aogiri? I wish to think like you.
You're cool
Idk if ur gonna see this but these sorts of vids r really nice
Itd be cool if i could do other vids with relaxing stuff in the background
@Aogiri Is this eckhart tolle?
Do a Joshua about taking care of your body for health
This man should be house speaker😅
Please use Joshua’s voice it makes it sooo much better
Who is John Galt?
who is the voice?
Is your email down??
My man here is about to found his own religion hehe.
Arent all organized religions and anti-religious groups looking for funding. In my honest opinion the only answer to whether God is real or not is that you can’t be certain either way. If you believe God is able to do both good and evil that could just as easily be perceived as the natural way of the universe without a God.

Also, there are two questions one can ask to an atheist to essentially dismiss their belief system. Question 1: is the universe governed by laws, principles, and order, or randomness and chaos? They would have to answer the former rather than the latter considering the LAWS OF PHYSICS as a field of study. If they dont answer correctly then they place themselves in a logical bind. If they do answer correctly present the second question: Since the universe IS in fact governed by laws, principles, and order, do we associate these attributes with intelligence or randomness and chaos. They would again have to answer the former. Considering functionality of all things proves intelligence. And if these things are a result of intelligence, that means a consciousness came up with them. Intelligence cannot exist without consciousness of some form. Something cannot come from nothing, especially within the earth plane, that's oxymoronic.
This seems like a pointless exercise to prove you’re more intelligent than some non-existent argument. Any one who claims to have knowledge of why or how this all started is trying to sell you a false narrative to keep you in line with their benefits and beliefs.
this first question is a false dichotomy. You can have laws and principles which provide a very accurate model, but in a universe with what appears to be random and chaotic in various ways. In addition to this, how does our having uncovered incredibly detailed and accurate models necessitate an intelligence? We as a species are designed to seek out patterns, and as such you may be trying to fashion your own puzzle piece, that being some intelligent creator, to solve a puzzle that never had or needed a solution to begin with. Your second question is also a false dichotomy in this way. Your arguments are also non-sequiturs, in that not only does one not have to answer as you say as a result of the same observations, but also because your extrapolation from these answered necessitates a leap in logic which does not consistently follow.
@@xinfinity4756 If the universe is random then it cannot function. Chaos is the opposite of order.
@@xinfinity4756 a universe that is supposedly chaotic cannot be made sense of either. These patterns are repetitive/consistent.
@@arcadestickgaming6601 Why can a random universe not function? Fundamentally all it takes for a system to be random is for at least one unpredictable event to occur, which there seems to be plenty of, and chaos would be an inability to extrapolate far into the future as a result of sensitivity to initial conditions, which is also present. You are asserting conditions without justifying them. I don't see a reason a universe with just enough order for life as we know it, but without some over-arching creator, couldn't exist logically, and of course if it is possible then we would be in it given the other possibilities may not sustain life. Lets suppose, though, that something is watching over things unfolding and controlling. What created that thing? Why is it here? What meaning is there behind its existence? Is it not in the same situation as us, similar to how we might view an ant colony? I fundamentally fail to see how, even assuming there is some "thing" that implemented the universe, we must attribute any meaning to it beyond what we might to our already absurd existence.
