Just stopped by (having been suggested this video) to let you know there is no such thing as a law of human nature. Apart from conscience, we are programmable meat bags. We generally base our opinions/beliefs/ways of life on what we see other people do. Perceptions you resonate with become part of you. Having said that, you can quite easily break out of that trap and become your own person. Still being swayed by outside influences, but carefully chosen influences. Eclectic knowledge results in freedom of thought. Cannabis is actually the companion plant to the human being. Saying it's neither good or bad shows your ignorance. If you can't squeeze a shitty explanation into a video you should maybe reconsider making them. Ps. I realise your pot smoking backtrack was just that based on responses to your shitty opinion piece

This was really cool! I have to disagree with what you said about people only having empathy when face-to-face/in person. The people that I interact with online are real even though I’m not seeing them in person. And when somebody shares a pain that they’re dealing with and they’re one of my close online friends, I feel that emotion. I’m happy for my friends when something goes great for them! And when someone dies, it brings me to tears 😭
@@DaRyteJuan He got it from someone else. My take on it: Dragons don't live in the present, they live in the future. Dragons don't hide in mountains, they sit and gaze from on high always thinking. People can't try to impress dragons they see through you, you can't choose dragons they have to choose you.
It’s about life. Nothing matters. Unless it matters to you. Don’t let other people burden you with their way of life. Dragon don’t care for us. They care for their eggs. Care for your eggs.
I like finding out that somebody has attempted to explain/describe human nature but we still have a long way to go in order to truly understand ourselves.
literally he says “why are you picking up that joint...” as I’m reaching for my stizzy pen. that shit made me laugh but then be like damn, you fuckin right.
Well, I am relieved that I’m not an narcissist, I remember loving someone more than I loved myself, until I learned that I was not being selfish, by practicing self love, then I realized that person I loved didn’t deserve my love at all.
A trip to the woods with a jay, a cup of tea and some music.. man, that's amazing! When I smoke I actually want to do stuff. I love walking high. I don't smoke every day though
@@theyetti90 not even sure if we escaped, growing up all my life there was always the implicit idea of right is everything that is bad and left is everything that fights bad wich end up making people believe that even doing the same thing, one of them was doing bad and the other was doing good and this sentiment just has been apexing in the last years. The entire context and mood of history has been given from just one side, I guess it wasn't just my generation that was mislead, my own family wouldn't knowingly manipulate me yet thats what they did.
@@miguelnascimento2847 as they say my friend, "There's levels to this sh*t." I can't say where you are in the mix of all this, but what I can say is, "You got the juice now." Meaning it's up to you to break the cycle. Write it down for your descendants.
@@theyetti90 agreed, we all should make sure future generations are not deprived of information or pushed one sided history. There's alot of current events where if historians are to look up what happened they would mostly be presented with a biased media that coupled with censorship thats running rampant in the "free nations" laws and private companies is everything needed for a controled narrative of current history. We must remember
Our enemies bring out the best in us our friends the worst, our emotions can betray us its important to understand what we feel now in understanding that as apart of what the status quo is being maintained by now. People make more decisions based on emotion then reason, so empathy is a life skill in defining the role peoples emotional state is playing.
Im 17. I was a casual smoker before quarantine. It got to the point where I was smoking everyday. But to be fair, there isn't much else to do, which is why its so hard to stop currently. Im only 4 or 5 days sober but, I'm experiencing withdrawl (which yes, weed DOES have withdrawal systems after HEAVY usage). I barely eat due to the fact I always smoked before I ate, increasing my appetite. Its hard to sleep, due to weed making it very easy to go to sleep whenever I felt like giving into the tiredness. And due to the lack of education during quarantine, I've forgotten a LOT of knowledge and its now very hard to think straight. I used to smoke only to vibe to music and chill w friends in a more peaceful and deep-understanding sense. But during quarantine, i broke my morals and self rules to not smoke as a way of coping with pain. It THEN became an addiction. If I got upset from my constantly loud apt in which I have no room in (with 2 man child adults, father (63) and older brother (32). But I was also still smoking for music and when I chill w friends. This is not my first attempt during quarantine to go sober, as you can see, I recognize the issues within my smoking habits and the effects it causes. I keep trying to be sober because I recognize them. Its just been a very rough quarantine, I'm always alone, most of my friends dont even hmu despite me being the one person that always tries to keep the peace and hold the group together, and even the one who makes plans. My household is very loud 24/7 despite it only being 2 other people, and they are adults. I cannot tell them about their behavior because they will just brush it off and call me a "child" and to stay on my place (obviously ive tried before). Its been hard to even be myself. I dont speak to them much, I get irritated at just about anything they do because I can hear EVERYTHING in the entire apt suite from the living room which is where Im forced to live. This has caused many sleepless nights, many days of 2-3 hrs of sleep, and just overall constant stress and irritation. That is the main reason I've been smoking daily in quarantine. I put on my very loud gaming headphones after smoking, and I FEEL the music flow through my body. Music has always been my escape. Weed has always made music better to me, it helped me FEEL it rather than listen to it (also the headphones lol). This is not me complaining, im trying to deal with my situation as best as I can. I'm simply writing this to enlighting non-smokers, and even smokers who do not know about cannabis withdrawl, the reasons people do it, and the affect QUARANTINE has had on my consumption. If you read this whole thing, thank you and I hope it helps you in some way. Before I end this, I do want to say I am a very peaceful person, I am a pacifist (Due to growing up with my abusive mother and then moving into the violent ciry of Chicago) and I believe anybody can pull themselves out of a deep depression if they take the time to step back and look at the world outside of their own perspective. This planet is beautiful. Many humans are not, they can be cruel. But they can also be kind. Pursue love, pursue intimacy, help EACH OTHER, be open minded and stop being so judgmental. People are who they are, their differences are what make them unique. And lastly, have dignity, respect, and do the right thing when you see something bad happening to someone.
Hey man I’m in your same situation with the weed. Moved out of my parents back in March of 2019, then covid hit. Started smoking at the beginning of quarantine and here I am today still ripping away. Nothing to do, nobody to talk to but my gf, and a whole lotta weed. There ain’t much to do, all my friends moved away for different colleges, and most of the days are very quiet. You’re not entirely alone in terms of your situation tho brotha. If life gets hard, just light up your green, put on some 60’s psychedelic rock or some Jimi Hendrix, take a walk at sunset during good weather, think about how you’re gonna go about making improvements to your life, and try to look forward to the next day. You’ll feel a bit netter man, trust me. Your life isn’t even close to being all it is yet...when you hit age 20 and look back at you being 17, you’ll realize “man, that was 3 YEARS ago. Holy shit.” You’ll realize how much time you have to make your life better. Seems like you’ve started early...hell yeah.
I don’t think it’s accurate. I don’t have those traits, and many people I know also don’t. It’s not possible to write a book saying that’s human nature and everyone is like that. It’s prejudice.
Since i am an ordinary guy, I take notes while i am reading books.. To put the valuable things in my autobehaviour, i keep remembering myself to revise the notes often.. This is Who i am :) Make your on style and enjoy life!
I've felt openly aware I was doing this for awhile, but only treated everything as a logical sense, and this vid dissected it so well!! I really struggled with math's in college and never wanted to go back to it, I'm 23 now, and its crazy to think that im pushing myself everyday to study just bit by bit, because I see it as a key element in what I want to become and to achieve, but I wont lie, I do feel shame in not having this logical sense of thinking earlier...
@@silasrossner4861 Everyone has their own thing... One person's poison, is another's medicine. I don't like to smoke..., but I have ADHD so it makes me feel double ADHD, but my meds actually RELAX me. Some people can a few beers, others can't stop until they lose everything. It's all about trying to see yourself honestly, clearly, and without judgement...that way we're free to make changes we need to or not let others change us when we shouldn't but they think they know best. One thing to consider though...if it's illegal where you are, you may be putting yourself in danger by being involved in crime... And if you smoke and don't use edibles, I'm pretty certain you're damaging your lungs. Also, if your underage, you're developing still... The drugs could affect your development. Glad i didn't get my meds until adulthood.... Personally. Also forced me to develops many healthy ways of coping. But dependency is a different issue! Wishing you the best in this crazy world! ❤✌😁
It's okay to be offended... it's hard to let go of... but i have seen some grave destruction happening to people i really loved due this... maybe think about that ok?
@@DJDonkeytron Thanks, DJ donkeytron. But no thanks. If someone needs me to be evil to find me attractive, they have mental health problems I don't want to deal with. Been there. It'd be sad to take advantage of someone who was never taught to respect themselves... But you're obviously free to live your life, DJ Donkeytron.
@@youtubingbabs Your comment is implying that I am evil so thats kinda evil in itself. I am just pointing out what I see in our society. And I think its sad you feel the need to attack me in your comment. I hope you have a nice day. ❤
@@DJDonkeytron No. But maybe you're feeling guilty? I don't know what's you've done. Only you know. Also I'm not your judge. But I AM saying cheating is evil. It harms people, spreads disease, and robs people of their time. It'd also listed as a sin according to the 10 commandments. Adultery. It's not evil to call out evil. It's wrong to judge it like anyone is innocent. I'm not perfect by any means. But I AM glad God gives me some way to know right from wrong and how to do my best to be a good person and live a life for him. I promise. I don't judge you. I want the best for you. I would be overjoyed if you found a trusting loving relationship where you got to have it all. God created sex too... But I believe it's meant to make two people one. I think that's why it causes so much trouble when between too many... How can you become one with many? You'd be cut up all over the place feeling disjointed. I've been cheated on and it still hurts. It's wrong and it hurts. I didn't know how to protect myself back then and because I naturally looked up to guys as honorable and strong I thought I had to learn to adapt to it because my morals bent with whatever man I was mistakingly worshipping at the moment instead of God. It was a mistake and wish I'd known I deserved the real thing. You do too. You deserve intimacy and trust and love. Nobody can rightly judge you for your past. That's between you and God. He forgives if you ask. I hope you have a true happy loving trusting marriage with the woman of your dreams! Would mean a lot of you wished the same for me. (But a man lol. I'm female. 😊😍)
I wonder if someone could write a book about human nature and writes things that are not true but become true because enough people believe in it due to positive reputation.
*How Human Nature Works* Human nature is the desire to receive, also called “desire to enjoy,” and it functions by receiving what is beneficial to itself and rejecting what is harmful. Everything in our lives is built upon this calculation where we first try to distance ourselves from harm, and then seek how to draw ourselves closer to what is beneficial. Human nature also includes a multilayering of systems that work simultaneously on still, vegetative, animate and human levels. One of those systems is our bodily one, which operates involuntarily. If our bodies are healthy, then they know what is good for them and draw that goodness to themselves. After the bodily system, there is the emotional system, which also functions relatively according to instinct. From the emotional system, we move to the mind, and from the mind to the intellect, and so on. That is, we have systems over systems that concurrently work on receiving what is beneficial and rejecting what is harmful. Such is human nature and the essence of our lives. Our every desire, thought and action operates according to the calculation, “How can we receive what is most beneficial to us and reject what is harmful?”
You are Brandon, I am Excited that you Changed my Perspective so hard. Thank you for making me see the Light, and understanding what's the Same about me and Everyone else. As well as What I can do to be a Better Person.
Uhm...I pick up that joint, make music, then the 50,000 people on my Spotify tuning in every month listen to it, and then I collect royalties, and have financial success. So does that joint truly make me lazy, or hyper-efficient and focused?
@@SolarHeavy its super groovy. I subbed and I'll look for you on spotify. Does the spotify thing help you get money? That's the problem, getting artists money. I've been into music since the 70s. Back then you went to peaches and bought a musician/bands record. It's not so easy now. I guess there's iTunes, but I always wondered how much the artist got from that....I hope the spotify thing helps ..
It depends on how often you're using the joint as a creative/inspiring tool, vs an all day, all the time, no matter what habit. But then again, some people can function that way
@@marblesthecat3861 Thank you man! I actually get paid about half a penny per play on Spotify which may not sound like a lot, but I get around 7k-9k plays a day just on Spotify alone, so it starts adding up quickly, and payouts are every month instead of quarter like the old days. I also get to keep 100% since I'm an indie artist and distribute directly with Spotify/Itunes. Meaning no labels touch a dime, ever. I get paid from youtube as well, but really it's Spotify that's been paying rent, and I'm crazy thankful for it. It's an artists world now my friend, great time to be a musician.
Oh boy this video has every bit of knowledge I've acquired through my 20 years. Now that I'm better version than of my past narcissist self who pitied humans for their flaws.
I pick up the joint even though it makes me lazy because I have completed what I consider a sufficient amount of tasks for the day/week/month and it's probably the weekend and I'm just going to chill out for the rest of the day. If anyone feels attacked, that's on you. Weed can be bad for you, just like any other vice. Handle your shit before you handle your shit.
I gave up weed and became a lot more successful.The most important part of it is to re-engage your dreams-your sub-conscious mind will direct your conscious mind to living a more beneficial life. Having said that,I was not an occasional joint smoker. I was a high functioning, hard working pot head. Some people can use it on weekends or holidays but I was full tilt boogie. Good video but the dude cannat pronounce covetousness. It's covet as in the biblical sin.Not covert-as in secretive.
A new subscriber here! I love the content of your youtube channel and I really appreciate the summaries you keep on sharing. It's good to watch before and after reading the book.
I wish I had a joint right now. I've got shit to do around the house and yard, but I'm sitting here watching TH-cam instead. I don't think about things too deeply and don't care that my yard is overgrown. I know that if I get stuck into my chores I'll be laid up with back pain for a day or two. That's where a joint helps, nor just as a reward but to ease the pain. I'm naturally lazy, but not so much when I've smoked.
It usually baffles me, how some narcissistic comes to me and goes on speaking of things they don't even know about and they began boasting of how good they are at it. Little do they know that I have more knowledge about that thing, than them. And I end up replying with a 'yeah sure' because it feels so stupid. But I wouldn't want to get into an argument that profits none of us, so that's just the better way to go about the same. This sums up the whole video to be honest
I might take a look at this, first time I have heard anything close to the observations I have made. The first part is the foundation for the rest it seems. Thanks for the post.
It IS human nature though because everything we learned stems from the human consciousness. (we are the only creature who can really bring our thoughts into physical fruition.)

Wow! That is SO cool. What are your favorite videos on this channel?
Thank you chiemezue!
Ruth F he made a video about a prince but i believe he’s removed it lol
One Percent Better :)
Clearly the animator of this video is a huge fan of The IT Crowd and modeled Trevor after Moss. 😂
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
I KNEW it!
Best character was the vampire dude
Moss is a legend
Lol do you mean Roy and moss? I thought the same thing😂
I got the book on Audible. Very good book!!! I'm not done with it. But I actually don't get as upset with people and have a better deeper understanding of the way people think and why they do what they do. Which can become very dangerous.
Same here !!
Same👍
narcissism ISNT self-love 1:28
Its literally lack of self love, but not being codependent
Hmmm...

Its not just* self love. Its the love of only self

This was really cool! I have to disagree with what you said about people only having empathy when face-to-face/in person. The people that I interact with online are real even though I’m not seeing them in person. And when somebody shares a pain that they’re dealing with and they’re one of my close online friends, I feel that emotion. I’m happy for my friends when something goes great for them! And when someone dies, it brings me to tears 😭
Some people buy things they like, to impress a dragon, and dragons don’t care, they just hide in mountains and protect the dragon eggs.
my dragon cares ! 🥺
Did you come up with that yourself? Or did you get that from someone else?
@@DaRyteJuan He got it from someone else.
My take on it:
Dragons don't live in the present, they live in the future.
Dragons don't hide in mountains, they sit and gaze from on high always thinking.
People can't try to impress dragons they see through you, you can't choose dragons they have to choose you.
It’s about life. Nothing matters. Unless it matters to you. Don’t let other people burden you with their way of life. Dragon don’t care for us. They care for their eggs. Care for your eggs.
Damn dragons took all my eggs
I like finding out that somebody has attempted to explain/describe human nature but we still have a long way to go in order to truly understand ourselves.
Loved the representation :). One fact that hit me hard was the self-sabotage, mental perception of things hurt more than the actual loss.
I just want to sleep mate. I don’t want to deal with people. Why are there so many of us ???
I dead ass didn’t light this joint.
Stopped me from rolling mine. For a min lol
Cap
Dead ass same
Wait wait wait just hit it
Woopsie o:
This video has helped me to discover many aspects of my personality , and I'm working on them.
literally he says “why are you picking up that joint...” as I’m reaching for my stizzy pen. that shit made me laugh but then be like damn, you fuckin right.
Still gonna hit it tho 😂
@@jomomma624 Hell yeah 😤
No cap this is one of the best channels that I've seen on youtube.
can you do the david goggins
book
" you cant hurt me"
Thanks for the suggestion AY - We have many book summaries in queue right now but this has been on the short list.
You don’t need to. Watch Goggins videos. His whole story is repeated over and over. I watch it over and over to get my mentality right
So simple and easy to understand. Amazing stuff in this video!
Well, I am relieved that I’m not an narcissist, I remember loving someone more than I loved myself, until I learned that I was not being selfish, by practicing self love, then I realized that person I loved didn’t deserve my love at all.
“I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a heart , to treat everything as if it were a heartburn!”

I’m glad you chose to love your self first
A trip to the woods with a jay, a cup of tea and some music.. man, that's amazing! When I smoke I actually want to do stuff. I love walking high. I don't smoke every day though
Me already rolling a blunt before I clicked on this video: 👁👄👁

Big facts. Everyone ain’t the same 😂
at least u dident take a line of coke and watch this
Ewwwww blunts are ewwwww
Bong rips for me please

I love this presentation style
Thank you Mohamed! What do you love about it in particular?

"Too many people spend money they earned..to buy things they don't want..to impress people that they don't like."
--Will Rogers
This is the best thing I learnt after a long time
And i did the same i used the people who doubted me as a motivation tool to get myself back up. Nothing abnormal with that.
It wasn't social media that got us, it's when the "perfect the way you are" and the participation trophy stuff came in. I escaped it narrowly.
The participation trophy has been around for over 60 years. It’s not new.
@xraf32 they're both under a bigger umbrella, but yes.
@@theyetti90 not even sure if we escaped, growing up all my life there was always the implicit idea of right is everything that is bad and left is everything that fights bad wich end up making people believe that even doing the same thing, one of them was doing bad and the other was doing good and this sentiment just has been apexing in the last years. The entire context and mood of history has been given from just one side, I guess it wasn't just my generation that was mislead, my own family wouldn't knowingly manipulate me yet thats what they did.
@@miguelnascimento2847 as they say my friend, "There's levels to this sh*t."
I can't say where you are in the mix of all this, but what I can say is, "You got the juice now." Meaning it's up to you to break the cycle. Write it down for your descendants.
@@theyetti90 agreed, we all should make sure future generations are not deprived of information or pushed one sided history. There's alot of current events where if historians are to look up what happened they would mostly be presented with a biased media that coupled with censorship thats running rampant in the "free nations" laws and private companies is everything needed for a controled narrative of current history. We must remember
Our enemies bring out the best in us our friends the worst, our emotions can betray us its important to understand what we feel now in understanding that as apart of what the status quo is being maintained by now. People make more decisions based on emotion then reason, so empathy is a life skill in defining the role peoples emotional state is playing.
I do not think there is purely rational decisions
People are mindlessly counting traits of Successors while they forget to evaluate their own Personality :)
Just as I was having a keen interest on Greene's books😝😝👍👍
Lovely
Im 17. I was a casual smoker before quarantine. It got to the point where I was smoking everyday. But to be fair, there isn't much else to do, which is why its so hard to stop currently. Im only 4 or 5 days sober but, I'm experiencing withdrawl (which yes, weed DOES have withdrawal systems after HEAVY usage). I barely eat due to the fact I always smoked before I ate, increasing my appetite. Its hard to sleep, due to weed making it very easy to go to sleep whenever I felt like giving into the tiredness. And due to the lack of education during quarantine, I've forgotten a LOT of knowledge and its now very hard to think straight. I used to smoke only to vibe to music and chill w friends in a more peaceful and deep-understanding sense. But during quarantine, i broke my morals and self rules to not smoke as a way of coping with pain. It THEN became an addiction. If I got upset from my constantly loud apt in which I have no room in (with 2 man child adults, father (63) and older brother (32). But I was also still smoking for music and when I chill w friends. This is not my first attempt during quarantine to go sober, as you can see, I recognize the issues within my smoking habits and the effects it causes. I keep trying to be sober because I recognize them. Its just been a very rough quarantine, I'm always alone, most of my friends dont even hmu despite me being the one person that always tries to keep the peace and hold the group together, and even the one who makes plans. My household is very loud 24/7 despite it only being 2 other people, and they are adults. I cannot tell them about their behavior because they will just brush it off and call me a "child" and to stay on my place (obviously ive tried before). Its been hard to even be myself. I dont speak to them much, I get irritated at just about anything they do because I can hear EVERYTHING in the entire apt suite from the living room which is where Im forced to live. This has caused many sleepless nights, many days of 2-3 hrs of sleep, and just overall constant stress and irritation. That is the main reason I've been smoking daily in quarantine. I put on my very loud gaming headphones after smoking, and I FEEL the music flow through my body. Music has always been my escape. Weed has always made music better to me, it helped me FEEL it rather than listen to it (also the headphones lol). This is not me complaining, im trying to deal with my situation as best as I can. I'm simply writing this to enlighting non-smokers, and even smokers who do not know about cannabis withdrawl, the reasons people do it, and the affect QUARANTINE has had on my consumption. If you read this whole thing, thank you and I hope it helps you in some way. Before I end this, I do want to say I am a very peaceful person, I am a pacifist (Due to growing up with my abusive mother and then moving into the violent ciry of Chicago) and I believe anybody can pull themselves out of a deep depression if they take the time to step back and look at the world outside of their own perspective. This planet is beautiful. Many humans are not, they can be cruel. But they can also be kind. Pursue love, pursue intimacy, help EACH OTHER, be open minded and stop being so judgmental. People are who they are, their differences are what make them unique. And lastly, have dignity, respect, and do the right thing when you see something bad happening to someone.
Hey man I’m in your same situation with the weed. Moved out of my parents back in March of 2019, then covid hit. Started smoking at the beginning of quarantine and here I am today still ripping away. Nothing to do, nobody to talk to but my gf, and a whole lotta weed. There ain’t much to do, all my friends moved away for different colleges, and most of the days are very quiet. You’re not entirely alone in terms of your situation tho brotha. If life gets hard, just light up your green, put on some 60’s psychedelic rock or some Jimi Hendrix, take a walk at sunset during good weather, think about how you’re gonna go about making improvements to your life, and try to look forward to the next day. You’ll feel a bit netter man, trust me. Your life isn’t even close to being all it is yet...when you hit age 20 and look back at you being 17, you’ll realize “man, that was 3 YEARS ago. Holy shit.” You’ll realize how much time you have to make your life better. Seems like you’ve started early...hell yeah.
“Yes that means real human interaction”
Sir we are in a pandemic :((
only if you watch the news.
plandemic *
Thanks for sharing. It's really accurate
Thanks!
I don’t think it’s accurate. I don’t have those traits, and many people I know also don’t. It’s not possible to write a book saying that’s human nature and everyone is like that. It’s prejudice.
Since i am an ordinary guy,
I take notes while i am reading books.. To put the valuable things in my autobehaviour, i keep remembering myself to revise the notes often..
This is Who i am :) Make your on style and enjoy life!
I've felt openly aware I was doing this for awhile, but only treated everything as a logical sense, and this vid dissected it so well!! I really struggled with math's in college and never wanted to go back to it, I'm 23 now, and its crazy to think that im pushing myself everyday to study just bit by bit, because I see it as a key element in what I want to become and to achieve, but I wont lie, I do feel shame in not having this logical sense of thinking earlier...
Use your character to your advantage; what amazing advice.
I am personally offended by that joint reference.
:P
Well. I'm still productive when i'm high
@@silasrossner4861 Everyone has their own thing... One person's poison, is another's medicine. I don't like to smoke..., but I have ADHD so it makes me feel double ADHD, but my meds actually RELAX me. Some people can a few beers, others can't stop until they lose everything. It's all about trying to see yourself honestly, clearly, and without judgement...that way we're free to make changes we need to or not let others change us when we shouldn't but they think they know best. One thing to consider though...if it's illegal where you are, you may be putting yourself in danger by being involved in crime... And if you smoke and don't use edibles, I'm pretty certain you're damaging your lungs. Also, if your underage, you're developing still... The drugs could affect your development. Glad i didn't get my meds until adulthood.... Personally. Also forced me to develops many healthy ways of coping. But dependency is a different issue! Wishing you the best in this crazy world! ❤✌😁
It's okay to be offended... it's hard to let go of... but i have seen some grave destruction happening to people i really loved due this... maybe think about that ok?
@@shifaraza6658 i call bs
Marijuana does not always make you lazy. Alcohol imo is a much more sedating drug. Awesome channel and videos. Much love from Texas.
I don't have the desire to cheat. Ever. And never wanted to push anyone off a cliff. Ever.
So ur not a bad boy? Ok good luck with the ladies.
No I mean the hot ones 😃
@@DJDonkeytron Thanks, DJ donkeytron. But no thanks. If someone needs me to be evil to find me attractive, they have mental health problems I don't want to deal with. Been there. It'd be sad to take advantage of someone who was never taught to respect themselves... But you're obviously free to live your life, DJ Donkeytron.
@@DJDonkeytron What's the point in being someone you're not to bang a few extra women and call themselves a bad boy lol.
@@youtubingbabs Your comment is implying that I am evil so thats kinda evil in itself. I am just pointing out what I see in our society. And I think its sad you feel the need to attack me in your comment. I hope you have a nice day. ❤
@@DJDonkeytron No. But maybe you're feeling guilty? I don't know what's you've done. Only you know. Also I'm not your judge. But I AM saying cheating is evil. It harms people, spreads disease, and robs people of their time. It'd also listed as a sin according to the 10 commandments. Adultery. It's not evil to call out evil. It's wrong to judge it like anyone is innocent. I'm not perfect by any means. But I AM glad God gives me some way to know right from wrong and how to do my best to be a good person and live a life for him. I promise. I don't judge you. I want the best for you. I would be overjoyed if you found a trusting loving relationship where you got to have it all. God created sex too... But I believe it's meant to make two people one. I think that's why it causes so much trouble when between too many... How can you become one with many? You'd be cut up all over the place feeling disjointed. I've been cheated on and it still hurts. It's wrong and it hurts. I didn't know how to protect myself back then and because I naturally looked up to guys as honorable and strong I thought I had to learn to adapt to it because my morals bent with whatever man I was mistakingly worshipping at the moment instead of God. It was a mistake and wish I'd known I deserved the real thing. You do too. You deserve intimacy and trust and love. Nobody can rightly judge you for your past. That's between you and God. He forgives if you ask. I hope you have a true happy loving trusting marriage with the woman of your dreams! Would mean a lot of you wished the same for me. (But a man lol. I'm female. 😊😍)
Don't wait for that significant life event to change!
I wonder if someone could write a book about human nature and writes things that are not true but become true because enough people believe in it due to positive reputation.
??? Or craft a society? Enter, social media, reality shows, tik tok challenges etc.
Propaganda. Every governments favorite tool.
Hahaha the law of LOVE!!!! Thank you All.

*How Human Nature Works*
Human nature is the desire to receive, also called “desire to enjoy,” and it functions by receiving what is beneficial to itself and rejecting what is harmful. Everything in our lives is built upon this calculation where we first try to distance ourselves from harm, and then seek how to draw ourselves closer to what is beneficial.
Human nature also includes a multilayering of systems that work simultaneously on still, vegetative, animate and human levels. One of those systems is our bodily one, which operates involuntarily. If our bodies are healthy, then they know what is good for them and draw that goodness to themselves. After the bodily system, there is the emotional system, which also functions relatively according to instinct. From the emotional system, we move to the mind, and from the mind to the intellect, and so on. That is, we have systems over systems that concurrently work on receiving what is beneficial and rejecting what is harmful.
Such is human nature and the essence of our lives. Our every desire, thought and action operates according to the calculation, “How can we receive what is most beneficial to us and reject what is harmful?”

You are Brandon, I am Excited that you Changed my Perspective so hard. Thank you for making me see the Light, and understanding what's the Same about me and Everyone else. As well as What I can do to be a Better Person.
Uhm...I pick up that joint, make music, then the 50,000 people on my Spotify tuning in every month listen to it, and then I collect royalties, and have financial success. So does that joint truly make me lazy, or hyper-efficient and focused?
Solar Heavy, I'm going to go listen to your music!
@@marblesthecat3861 Let me know what you think! Thanks man
@@SolarHeavy its super groovy. I subbed and I'll look for you on spotify. Does the spotify thing help you get money? That's the problem, getting artists money. I've been into music since the 70s. Back then you went to peaches and bought a musician/bands record. It's not so easy now. I guess there's iTunes, but I always wondered how much the artist got from that....I hope the spotify thing helps
..
It depends on how often you're using the joint as a creative/inspiring tool, vs an all day, all the time, no matter what habit. But then again, some people can function that way
@@marblesthecat3861 Thank you man! I actually get paid about half a penny per play on Spotify which may not sound like a lot, but I get around 7k-9k plays a day just on Spotify alone, so it starts adding up quickly, and payouts are every month instead of quarter like the old days. I also get to keep 100% since I'm an indie artist and distribute directly with Spotify/Itunes. Meaning no labels touch a dime, ever. I get paid from youtube as well, but really it's Spotify that's been paying rent, and I'm crazy thankful for it. It's an artists world now my friend, great time to be a musician.
The hypocrisy in the human behavior is only surpassed by our ability to pretend that it doesn't exist...
This is A must watch!
Glad it's valuable to you Tal!
After this video I washed all my dishes despite I didn't feel like it.

This book is gold
Interesting laws.
Which one was your favourite?
You made me roll another one. Because I can

Yep!
I have all the Robert Greene books, I need to read them all again.
Which Robert Greene book is your favourite?

Don’t be a pussy bro do what u need to do and smoke at night when ur responsibilities are done , balance is key
@@rootstriker1618 Thanks, back on the herb right now haha
How is it going? Did you eliminate your addiction?
@@lognomodeimeme left weed, onto cocaine now :)
I love Robert Greenes work🙏🙏🙏🙏🔥
It might take a significant life event for me to get a walk, that's true :c
I pick up the joint even though it makes me lazy because I have completed what I consider a sufficient amount of tasks for the day/week/month and it's probably the weekend and I'm just going to chill out for the rest of the day.
If anyone feels attacked, that's on you. Weed can be bad for you, just like any other vice. Handle your shit before you handle your shit.
Me: "What an Interesting video about the human Psych-"
Video:"You ever felt like pushing your friend off a cliff?"
Just what I felt, glad I'm not the only one
If changing yourself was easy, everyone would do it.
But changing yourself is extremely easy, at the end of the day you’re the only one in control of yourself
That book was excellent.
I gave up weed and became a lot more successful.The most important part of it is to re-engage your dreams-your sub-conscious mind will direct your conscious mind to living a more beneficial life. Having said that,I was not an occasional joint smoker. I was a high functioning, hard working pot head. Some people can use it on weekends or holidays but I was full tilt boogie. Good video but the dude cannat pronounce covetousness. It's covet as in the biblical sin.Not covert-as in secretive.
I love the narrator, he has the right insight of Robert green.. 🍏🍏😁😁
I'm smoking my joint right now.
Do not put that bitch Down either
Take a step back then
Ironically me too
I think im about to...
IAm have a pull
This moment when you smokin a Blunt, and he start to say put it away and take a deep breath. I put it to my mouth and take a deep breath, thank you!
Which tool do you use to produce these videos?
I have an illustrator draw the images from scratch and import into Adobe Illustrator. The animation in After Effects.
@@OnePercentBetter That's lot of a work. I'm going to start a similar channel in India
Thank you.
This is spot on on a lot of these. I can also see myself in some of these. Scary. 😢
800 people didn't like that Joint comment
This is a video I didn’t know I need I’m glad I came across it ❤️
A new subscriber here! I love the content of your youtube channel and I really appreciate the summaries you keep on sharing. It's good to watch before and after reading the book.
Thank you Beatrix!
I paused the video at 1:14 put down my phone and went to do my work
I wish I had a joint right now. I've got shit to do around the house and yard, but I'm sitting here watching TH-cam instead. I don't think about things too deeply and don't care that my yard is overgrown. I know that if I get stuck into my chores I'll be laid up with back pain for a day or two. That's where a joint helps, nor just as a reward but to ease the pain. I'm naturally lazy, but not so much when I've smoked.
I also have a dark side but i live it inside my music as much as possible to not be toxic to people around me.
“Why do you pick up that joint even though you know it makes you lazy?”
As I roll up to this video lol
If they gave more examples while explaining the laws that would be great
Weed actually motivates me to do things.
It usually baffles me, how some narcissistic comes to me and goes on speaking of things they don't even know about and they began boasting of how good they are at it. Little do they know that I have more knowledge about that thing, than them. And I end up replying with a 'yeah sure' because it feels so stupid. But I wouldn't want to get into an argument that profits none of us, so that's just the better way to go about the same.
This sums up the whole video to be honest
My emotions made me click on this video because it had a good clickbait that played on my emotions. Irrational waste of time
I might take a look at this, first time I have heard anything close to the observations I have made. The first part is the foundation for the rest it seems. Thanks for the post.
The law of love triumphs over all of this
Nice video but 1 thing is we weren’t born this way we were taught so it’s not human nature to be like this.
But it is because humans taught us.
It IS human nature though because everything we learned stems from the human consciousness. (we are the only creature who can really bring our thoughts into physical fruition.)
Great animations
