You tell on yourself in the first 2 min. Optimism is not on its own a strong enough reason to stay in a toxic relationship. Optimism also goes: "It's ok if we break up, I'll be fine, amd I'll find a new, healthy partner in the right time."
This is how tier lists should be made. Building on the central topic over the course of the whole video with very nice transitions between the compared subjects (beliefs). I hope the algorithm picks this channel up.

Nietzsche is not a nihilist. Instead, he predicted that the common man would go through the stages of religion -> nihilism -> existential crisis -> comfort seeking. He also predicted that certain individuals, the Ubermensch he endorses so much, would instead be more like religion -> nihilism -> existential revival -> self-inflicted trials/embracing suffering -> life lived as a form of art itself. It is not right to call him a nihilist when he so often, very, very often, constantly degraded those who would only stop at nihilistic conclusions of life. He wrote in his later years about the Eternal Reoccurrence, meaning to envision life being infinite means one would likely experience living the exact same life you are now, again, and again, for all of the infinite eternity. May as well create a life you are grateful and even proud to live again. That is the point of creating one's own meaning. For him it became like his religion. Having such a meaning behind his writing automatically defeats the idea he was ever a nihilist in his works. I think it is a shame that he died before ever finishing his 4-part series The Antichrist, he was hospitalized and died in hospice after finishing only the first volume. But Nietzsche wrote that he was only breaking down the past philosophies that lead to nihilistic, pointless life, so that future philosophers could build on what little foundation he's laid to create a new and much more grand, more meaningful philosophy. In his later works, he even said, "I am finished with being a no-sayer! From this time on, let me only be---a yes-sayer!" His philosophy grew and evolved as he aged and contemplated to himself. To read only one of his early works and consider that must be his entire philosophy, is to ignore that people develop as they grow, and Nietzsche knew this, constantly reevaluating his works as he went on. One can only imagine what he would have written had he been able to finish his last project. But again, he left that to us to complete for ourselves. It's more correct instead of calling him nihilistic, to call him something like a moral-subjectivist, but even that is missing the mark when he proclaimed himself to be antimoralist, he regularly called himself an amoralist! It's most correct to say that, Nietzsche only respected two things, the Will to Power (the desire of any being to gain ability to meet their own wants), and love (believe it or not, he wrote extensively how love was what transcended concepts of good vs evil). To call Nietzsche nihilist is to forget how much he loved life itself, and how deeply he yearned for people to love living life as extensively as they could, for people to become something they venerated as much as one would a god. That's the essential meaning behind The Antichrist, to become anti-Christian, needing no god or savior, and ascending to greatness through one's own will alone.
No, its wrong, Übermensch cannot be affected by neither nihilism or religion, Übermensch is an embodiment of life affirmation that doesnt have any views or beliefs but doesnt suffer from it, because the life as it is would be always enough for them, he is fully human and fully animal, he is amoral.
@@kiss-shotacerola-orionhear220 To define the Ubermensch as one who has never doubted his own existence or purpose in life, or that he never in his life considered the existence of the divine, is a bit unrealistic. It has too much of the "the Ubermensch should..." in it. If a man achieves everything the Ubermensch would be expected to achieve, and then on his deathbed says "I believe in Jesus", does that make him any less of an Ubermensch? Perhaps he would not be the exact image of Nietzsche's Ubermensch, but an Ubermensch he is anyways. The internal environment of the man is not really what matters, anyhow, it's how he affects the world. What Nietzsche wrote, he wrote specifically saying that everything he's laying down is only groundwork, subject to revision by future philosophers. In this spirit, I posit the idea that an Ubermensch could exist and still at times ponder the divine, and even doubt the meaning behind his very existence. What matters most is that even if he suffers for these thoughts, they do not hold him back. It is not the absence of the suffering, but the *transforming* of that suffering into something life-affirming that makes him - The Ubermensch.
@@brianjones9780because saying I believe in Jesus also often implies the moral component of Christianity which is a nihilistic religion, no one that said it views it purely as some sort of creationist theory, but a moral compass to follow. That's said, Übermensch "believing in Jesus" would not be a sincere thought, but the game he plays right now, a theater play.
@@kiss-shotacerola-orionhear220 implies the moral component? *Which* moral component? Even within any specific denomination of Christianity, there are *many* moral components that often are completely contradictory to the moral components of other denominations, or even within their own! There is no way to speak of "Christian morals" in less length than a textbook without hyper-focusing on or ignoring certain denominations of Christianity. And after all, there are denominations of Christianity that do not care how moral or amoral a person you were, if you can believe that Jesus forgave you, you are absolved in the afterlife. It's not hard to believe a guy was put to death as an injustice to him, and he still mustered up the will to forgive everyone that ever lived anyways. There are denominations these days of Christianity that say if you can believe in that, you are a Christian. No moral behavioral obligation, only a momentary belief, that thought occurring itself is all that is necessary. So this is the real point I'm making, that a statement, "I believe in Jesus" has absolutely no bearing on how a person behaves morally, even if said truthfully. One only needs to visit an American town on friday, go the local bar with all its debauchery and adulterers, and then see some of those same people at the church on Sunday. There is no one singular "moral component" to Christianity at its core, because Christians can't even agree with each other on what Jesus said in the first place, except that no moral sin is too great for Jesus to have forgiven! I'm positing indeed again, the extreme idea, the absurd notion that a person may be *an amoral Christian.* After all, Nietzsche said himself that Jesus was speaking a profound truth that was tainted by the resentment of his disciples, a profound truth that can only be communicated in symbology. In some denominations, this makes even Nietzsche a Christian! One must understand that Nietzsche wrote for his time in contemporary fashion, and what he knew about Christianity was only current to his era. Even more, he first graduated from a Christian university for theology! Before he ever considered philosophy on its own! And yet, despite all his amoral, anti-Christian musings, he still says in essence that he is not anti-Jesus, no, he admires Jesus! He is anti-"the religion that erupted after the crucifixion!" Behold. Nietzsche. He accepts the truth in Jesus, and rejects the bullshit that came after Jesus. This made Nietzsche the first Antichrist.
I honestly havent EVER watched a youtube video so far and be so engaged. This youtube video is literally better than 99% of ALL the "self improvement" videos. Its the raw truth, and nothing else. This guy is super underrated
I think this is just a bot moments. Its absurd young one. They just trying to play with u. The fact is this vids is quite long and the understanding rate in video is around 6/10 . Its quite like a "try-to-make-it-like-generous-ideas-witg-my-oppinion"
God I’ve been in a DEEP philosophical hole just like this. I’ve experienced nearly every single mode of thinking. I’m glad to know I’m completely alone.
I’ve never watched anything that’s so articulately expressed my entire life story. I genuinely thought I was the only one for a while and there was a bit of egotistical pride in that, and yet here you are, taking it a step further. I’m going to have to sit with it for a while.
All the low motivation and existential dread I experienced went away when I realized I had untreated high functioning ADHD. You mentioned it a bit in the part about scientific materialism but the role of dopamine in motivation and especially feeling like “what’s the point“ is really under appreciated by a lot of people in society especially young men.
I am honestly shocked that such a video only has around 12k views. I only noticed it halfway through, but i genuinely believed that this video would be all the way up in the high millions of views. Such a great video, it really deserves more attention.
optimism is a good tool if you actually use it; Like it's a good ass method if you're actually working towards what you're optimistic about. Optimisim is horrible when passive, but broken when it fuels your work
@@Jules-kp7rw That's fair; what I mean to suggest is that optimism is just an enabler of activity. If your goal is to lounge, and you're optimistic about lounging, muy bien. If your goal is to work, and you're optimistic about work, muy bien. Where horrible comes to play is when there is a mixup between goals, feelings and current activity, and also a few niche things. Optimism is an enabler of habits and activities, and can be used to mitigate the psychological stress of bad activities and habits and reinforce said habits, as well as reinforce good habits and activities too. Atleast that's how I see it, I dunno
@@Jules-kp7rw I guess in my understanding, the side of optimism comes from the idea of optimism as an enabler. Lets say theres a dude who's killing people and he's optimistic about his situation. He's probably going to keep killing, or feel less moral qualms about murder because optimism is an enabler of his actions. Like he could hate killing people, but optimism, looking forwards, has him killing still because he dreams of a time where he doesn't have to kill anymore. Optimism is more grey, as are all things in my opinion, but because it's an enabler, is enables all things it's applied to, including the "bad"
Jordan Peterson's one is crazy as well. The guy is jumping from depression to depression, hitting specialist psychic wards and gobbling up meds to stay sane. He himself is the living proof his philosophy is self-destructive
I dont know who you are but I'm glad you wound up in my feed. I'm 17 always struggling to grow into a man of understanding myself and others. And I genuinely love your slow but in depth explainations of every belief. I felt a genuine inspiration listening to you speak. I feel I relate a lot to you just in a different story. And you've earned my sub.
If you are 17 you do not need to stress and worry about growing up, it will happen with time and genuinely no joke, when you get older you will just understand things you don’t right now. Take it one step at a time and don’t dissappear into introspection.
@luk4aaaa my parents weren't very good growing up. They kinda just gave me a phone at 4 and didn't guide me a whole lot afterwards. So I've been growing myself. It's a lil different from just waiting to grow up, cuz I feel socially and emotionally behind.
@@ramagon2761 that is ok. you do not need to succeed or even feel like you are, what matters is that you keep trying, observing your own startegies and behaviours and changing them if need be. what you can be absolutely certain of is that you have much more time than you think, so take your time, don't rush, figure things out and eventually you will be the person you want to be.
@luk4aaaa I'm aware. I don't mean to give off the impression that all I care about is growing or tryna become an adult. I simply just love to learn about this world. I feel that if I can handle the hard truths of the world and even find a way to see them positively, then I can't hurt myself. Everything around us has a story and an energy it gives off. It gives me excitement to understand all the things we've done and learned as a species. Especially psychology and neurochemistry. I like to focus on being a strong individual but I also love the beauty in the inner workings of this world. Even the bad. I think this whole game of figuring out how my mind works is part of the fun of being human.
@@lilcockblockx2345 absolutely, awesome that you could tell. I would elaborate if I knew how to keep it short but life is pain & silence is freedom what I can say
Everything you said in this video resonated with me. I also grew up in a Religious environment and had life-altering experiences with psychadelics that I was not prepared for. Like you said in the video, it's taken a lot of time to untangle all of that but so worth it. Thank you for sharing this truth.
there is just absolutely NO WAY this channel has 2k subs, when the quality it presents to us deserves easily to surpass millions of subs, this would actually help make the world a better place for once... God damn man, you are 100% making it, just don't stop and you get the victory you deserve! 🔥🔥🔥
of the probably hundreds of thousands of videos i have watched on youtube, i think you really have succeeded in taking the most neutral perspective i have ever seen on any video. you clearly list both the goods and bads of each belief, and display little to no bias. holy shit man, good job. you've earned a sub and like from me.
This was absolutely incredible! I was already hooked throughout the majority anyway but once you reached the end and began talking about no-self and dualism I immediately perked up as it mirrored my own psychedelic journey exactly! While I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a proper ego death, I can think back to moments during trips of establishing that connection to the collective human consciousness, and times after trips when interacting with someone and being able to put myself behind their eyes, that vague sense of knowing that I could just as well BE them, as they could just as well be me. I’d always at least *tried* to be a kind person, *tried* to be altruistic, *tried* to remember that others are living lives just as rich and complex as my own, but could always faulter. But then, having gone and seen and felt that for myself, having seen and felt that oneness we subliminally share, having seen and felt what truly unites us, all that stuff not only comes naturally now, but I am easily the happiest I’ve ever been and grown into a much better person. Now over five years on from my very first trip, I wouldn’t have missed them for the world, and the love I feel, the newfound optimism I harbour is only growing stronger. Remember, like he said in this video, you don’t have to take mindbending drugs to find this, but however you choose to, go have a look for yourself! I think you’ll be pleased with what you find. :) take care everyone, lead the best lives you can, remember that we truly are all one and that if we truly act with love in everything we do, then the rest might just work itself out ✌️☮️
Closest I’ve come to that sense of we are all the same is when I think about how amazing it is everyone exists and how improbable it is you see how everyone is a vulnerable unique individual living their lives and it’s beautiful you appreciate everyone and (starting to get wacky) I started to see auras around people in my mind and could tell good people from bad people truly I think it showed me there are different levels of consciousness you can tap into depending on your thinking but it’s hard to stay at that level all the time you have to constantly be thinking how amazing it is others exist but very life changing for me
INCREDIBLE work and sage philosophy. I’ve been through most of these beliefs and similarly experienced an ego death from psychedelics. Excited to see your channel grow.
Great video man. As someone who's been struggling with thoughts and emotions I feel like I have no control over since I can remember me, this was a very thought-provoking video. I cannot say whether it helped me or not yet but I can say if was fresh, well-thought out and offered many unique perspectives, thank you.
Thank you so much for making this video. It honestly made me cry. I was recently diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, and saw how fragile my life was. I experienced an existential crisis for a while… nights where I couldn’t sleep because I was so scared that I had no control over my body. However, that was not true. It’s just my body reacting to my environment.
Bro when you explained what No-Self is, I literally screamed “FACTS!!” out loud. I have thought this way for so long and had no idea there was an actual term for it, or that it was an established philosophy!!! :OO
One of the best youtube videos I ever watched. Felt like a movie the way everything flowed and transitioned so nicely, coming to its climax for the Doomer idealogy only to deconstruct itself further into the end of the video. Cant wait to see more
Great stuff dude. This is really refreshing to hear someone think this way. Badly needed in these times. I can tell you didn't come to these conclusions overnight. Hope the algo picks you up!
People, like me, who have been on the hedonistic treadmill usually wont notice theyre on it. But once you do, you realize that owning things is nice n all, but it doesnt inherently lead to being happy. It can, if done right, but usually it doesnt. What does however are experiences that mean something to you personally. Creating a painting. Building something. Telling a joke to others to spread a tiny bit of joy. Cook for your friends and enjoy a meal with them. etc..Those are the things that usually are fulfilling, instead of buying things. Buying stuff may give you shortterm pleasure.. But it will also make you hungry for more. And It will never be enough. The extremes we see with the ultra wealthy. How many yachts are enough? How many mansions filled with staff? Its never enough. I also agree with anti-natalism. The problem, to me, isnt that there is suffering. Because, to live is to suffer. The problem is, that here is an absurd amount to experience in ones life, compared to positve ones. Which is why i refuse to bring anyone into this. But thats a choice everyone has to make for themselves. Or, well.. at least should think about. Nietzsche also wasnt about nihilism. He feared nihilism taking over because of the decline of the church and made points to avoid letting it take over. Because nihilism would erode society over time, at least he seemed to think so. And i agree, for it is poison to the mind. He was about existentialism. To become the best you you can be and continue on despite apparent meaninglessness. The Idea that awareness, whatever it is, being fundamental is also a very, very old one. Many believed or believe this. Many big scientists do too. Max planck for example. But who knows if its true, or not? My guess is, that we are all equally insane, whatever we think to know or believe. We should instead roast some marshmallows by the fire with our fellow apes instead of thinking too much. We will know after we die, probably.. or we wont. It wont matter.
My take is that all of us can be convinced by outside forces that we are insane/mentally Ill, leading us into more and more destructive behaviors. Some fall into the trap and some find ways out. It’s why confidence and self esteem is so important, letting others impose their will on you can really screw some ppl up and send them down dark paths
Anti Natalism is a very gravitating thing because at glance it seems logical. But in the end its vision is separate from its practice. In thought it’s empathy for the planet and the seemingly vain suffering of plethoras of beings. However its practice is a defeatist death cult down to the bone. It’s one step away from post mortalism. This falls in the same paralleled consequences as nihilism. It’s a fundamental no to life. Nietzsche’s fundamental philosophy was a big YES to life, to Amor Fati (love your fate) love life in utter totality and love the earth in utter totality. One philosophy feeds to life the other lullaby’s to death.
Nietzsche described himself as a nihilist as he thought that was the logical choice in his time. Hell, he even says that all forms of morality are just baseless power structures with no real moral grounds because morality does not really exist.
@@tommygertcher2747well to be fair you need money to survive. From what I understand what he's trying to get at is that true fulfillment is not from mindless materialism and hedoism that only fuels your own individual short-term happiness, but rather pursue other forms of fulfillment in which you interact positively with the emotions of individuals around you, something that hedoism and materialism simply cannot fulfill.
I want to wholeheartedly thank you for compiling and sharing this video with us! It has helped many of us in various ways. Please continue to have a good life for yourself and for the benefit of all the rest of "us".
Please make more videos. This video contained so much humanness and desire to understand different perspectives. Somethings which is not granted on the internet.
In Hindu(Sanatana Dharma) texts, The society usually functions with the principle of Karma(the Western concept), along with positive optimism towards God. Inshort, Do what is your Dharma(duty of righteousness) and leave the results to God. I find it very similar to stoic principles which emphasise "the journey" over the "the destination". Hope y'all have a good life❤💯. Jai Shri Krishna 🌸🤍
I am blown away by the quality of this video. Can't believe youre still under 2k subs. Proud to join those numbers. I love how you made each tier flow into the next. I also relate bigly to your struggles that seem to be behind you. I'm still in that drugs/sex rut. Trying to get out, just trying to do a little bit better each day.
Incredible video, I've experienced a similar journey through all of these concepts, feels amazing to see it portrayed so eloquently, subbed and hyped to see more!
I don’t know how to explain, I was at rock bottom in despair and grief last week. I tried to get my thoughts together reflecting on past and present and possible future, I couldn’t manage to hold a grasp of where to begin with. I laid on couch tired, I felt in a state of sleep and being awake at the same time, I never felt anything like that, I never knew what a spiritual awakening was or never heard of but I felt love, so much love towards anything and everything. It felt euphoric and pleasant as tears just would fall as I felt this sense of calmness and warmth never before. Wish I could describe it better than this.
To further complicate the question of Nietzsche’s nihilism, if one accepts the distinction between moral nihilism (rejection of the truth value of moral claims) and more general epistemological nihilism (rejection of the very premise of meaning and knowledge) its pretty clear that Nietzsche falls into the first camp while simultaneously arguing against the latter.
??? Where? How? Nietzsche's work is an antithesis of nihilism. His main argument is that in modern society, God is no longer the base for moral and existential fulfillment (that's what he means when he says that God is dead), and as such, we must give life meaning ourselves by forming our own base for moral and existential fulfillment. He argues that life must give itself meaning, and as such is a direct opposition to nihilism, as well as religious-based meaning because it seeks meaning outside of life and also romanticizes its end. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_man en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9Cbermensch
@@himalayo in the first sentence I stated “…if one accepts the distinction between moral nihilism and more general ontological nihilism…” the first is a metaethical statement. The second is the meaningless existence you are describing. I literally defined these terms in the previous comment…
@@chrisn7972 I am describing a lack of meaningless. If life gives itself meaning, then life is meaningful, has meaning, and isn’t meaningless, and as such is contrary to the idea of life being meaningless.
@@himalayo my friend, I am defining the term “nihilism”. I never gave a summary of Nietzsche’s existentialism. No disrespect but I don’t know I can clarify my initial statement any further.
About your controversy on subjectivism on your experiences being real or not. I think I heard ekhart tolle say once that are perceptions are only a FRAGMENT of the truth and that saying what we experience as the truth is inherently wrong as the truth is all fragments combined, everything combined. Btw I love this video and I hope you read this. I already subscribed keep up the good content👍👍👍👍👍
I’m so glad that I’ve watched this video till the end. It was a moment that I knew myself, and beliefs were gone. After everything I learned here, I can surely answer all my questions of existence. I kinda feel like awareness is me. Thank you for great video man!❤❤❤❤❤
I almost cried in the end, the idea that all things and all beings and beliefs, and everything that exists is only one, makes me feel so fufilled and connected. i've never felt this way before. it makes me feel so close to everything, and relate to everything that is, and especially God, it makes me feel like i'm him, but not him, and we all are like this, but most people have not felt this, everything suddenly makes sense, everything has meaning now, it feels like there's not reason to question anything, because we are all one, and we're the same thing, and we are brothers, but not brothers, we are one. I feel like there's no sadness, depression, or any kind of feeling or mental state, i feel pure peace, some kind of peace which is impossible to fully describe, you just feel it. I feel like i needed this, i feel free, i feel like i can do whatever, but at the same time, i don't wanna do bad, because it would hurt me, since what i'm doing to something, is hurting "us", or the one we are. This is the most beatiful video i've seen, i've never felt this kind of peace and liberty. Thank you.
Hello, thanks for making this. You summarized some complex topics very well, and I think a true show of understanding is the ability to summarize so well done, you clearly studied these topics. I myself have grappled with many of these philosophical problems. It was nice to see them presented together so succinctly - well done, and I hope together we find some meaning to it all :)
This has got to be one of the best TH-cam videos I've come across lately. The way it resonated with me and captured exactly how I've been feeling is incredible. I felt deeply understood throughout. And that ending... It was just so beautifully moving, it touched me in ways I didn't expect. Truly a remarkable piece of content.
I was expecting a 5 million sub channel but what a gem of a video this was highly informative and really puts into perspective on what belief i could be experiencing at any moment in my life
You helped go back into my spiritual journey. The idea of nonduality hit my mind years ago but I rejected it recently due to hard times. It’s not an easy idea to grasp when people around you are not understanding what you are. But I believe this idea or truth has great power behind it and if we were all to see it, then who knows where we can transcend to as spiritual beings.
The best thing for your mental health isnt a belief system, it's a system of practices. I'm a paranoid schizophrenic. 3 things keep me from going crazy or being depressed: nature walks, dancing to music, and short periods of meditation. I do these on the daily. So yeah I don't have anything as grand as a belief system but if you want to have good mental health make sure you do these 3 things every day. Not going to explain the benefits of exercise or meditation, most people know they should be doing both. But y'all always come after me for dancing. SO just know that I read a study and it was the best thing for depression. Try it if you don't believe, you can test it for yourself. Like if you read my comment, it's always good to know you've been seen.
This is the best tier list I have ever seen. I love philosophy and you took it to another level. This was a personal presentation of human experience. Good structure and the topic was really relatable! Good job buddy!❤
Optimism isn't inherently toxic or a delusional trait. How you yourself view and express it in conjunction to the world around you is what really matters.
There's likely no video, especially when talking about philosophy, that completely cleans itself of bias, but it is pretty impressive how he puts himself together in this video.
"We are just monkeys put on this rock called earth that managed to put on some clothes and now we think we are above animals" lot of people forget this, the reality of our existence, at the end of the day we are animals that walk on two legs. We got a long way to go as a species if we manage to survive.
34:00 On that note: I believe that Hegel, correct me if I'm wrong, wrote about something similar. About how all of us share one "geist", one subconscious, or was it one unconscious. That deep down our minds are connected, almost one and the same. And it kind of makes sense... sometimes at least. On another, more personal, note: I too believe that love is not just an emotion, but the start and end of it all, in a way. Everything is born from, for, and for the sake for... Love!
27:49 Don't understand why people think Determinism means you have no control, it's not fatalism. It's simply that whatever choice you make is just the only choice you would have ever made, it's not the only choice you could have made because if the only thing stopping you from making a choice is yourself then there are multiple choices. If you are asked what icecream do you want "Chocolate, Strawberry or Vanilla?" You now have three choices, there is nothing other than your own preference stopping you from picking one over the other. This is where hipsters will say "but if you don't choose your own preference then it's not your choice" which is stupid because you can say that about anything if you zoom out enough, which is pointless and also besides the point of what a choice is. Then it becomes a discussion about what the self is, but at the end of the day our wants, need, preferences, environment, upbringing, past etc are what makes us who we are, the self is what it made up of all these things. So the person making the choice of ice cream is making a choice predicated on all of aka the person itself is making the choice of ice cream. It's like a poker game, you can't pick the cards but you can choose which to play. He has three choices, he then has to evaluate which one he wants the most and makes a decision based on his preferences which is apart of who he is as a person. This idea of the ultimate self being some being separated completely from the brain is a joke, in that case if we were separated from our brain we'd not be us anymore because we wouldn't have any of the things that make us who we are. Our history, preferences, personality etc the self is all of us not just our consciousness. The consciousness is simply what makes us able to process all of this and actually make choices, yes it's proven that our subconscious makes a lot of choices and actions before our conscious mind gets to however there is a lot of data on that, which contradicts that but it's been proven that our consciousness can stop us from doing this subconscious action. If my subconscious send a signal to my finger to flick out my conscious mind will be able to stop that movement. Which once again proves that are sub conscious is also part of who we are, the only reason the whole debate exists is because of this obsession with this ultimate sense of self which doesn't exist. Our own brain given there are given there isn't a tumor or something are who we are. And btw yes I know these out of body drug induced things have happened where people feel out of their body saying their consciousness or spirit was removed from their body, but I'm sorry taking people on psychiatry as proof seems a little silly
as an happy nihilist I find peace in the idea of no meaning. as for me, the only meaning there is to things is the one life gives it. Gold isn't inherently valuable, we made it so, us living things. life doesn't have any meaning or value if you don't give it one. I found happiness in this, I have control over everything, and I like to think that "To experience" is life meaning. just do as many things as possible, like trying to get all achievement in a game, but there is so much stuff to do that you'll never be able to experience everything, but your goal is to do as much as you can with the time you have. even if you believe in god, what creator wouldn't want his creations to be appreciated and noticed by someone? don't limit yourself, try everything, you can do and achieve anything with dedication, literally ANYTHING! Art, music, math, knowledge, muscle, agility, anything you see somebody do you can do, might take more effort, but its not a never!
The fact I gone trough each single one of these things trying to understand myself, gave up on em and now watching video about someone who gone trough these things too makes it, well, cool ig. I remember sharing the idea of "I'm everyone, everyone is me" transforming it into "maybe all of our consciousness is just the entire universe trying to understand itself" right after sex with my ex, telling it to them, looking at the starts together.. It was a vibe
Overall great video, but I think it was a mistake to use Nietzsche as the image of nihilism, and in fact, I think the whole concept of nihilism is a bit muddled throughout. It would have made equal sense to put Peterson or Camus as the image, as all three men are basically responding to a nihilistic world. Nietzsche has his Ubermensch, Peterson says we should just act as if God is true even if not real, and Camus says we should embrace the absurdity of it all. But if you say Nietzsche is a nihilist, then so are the other two. I think Nietzsche should have been given his own category. I think his belief structure is even greater for self improvement than Peterson or Camus. It would have been interesting hearing your take on Nietzscheanism. Also as a more minor point, I don't think blackpill is purely an incel thing. Funny enough, I think of the blackpill as largely synonymous with nihilism, pessimism and doomerism. Maybe I'm just chronically online, but I've used the term "Feeling blackpilled" and it had nothing to do with women or attractiveness or anything like that. Just depression or feelings of hopelessness. Bonus points for dissing The Last of Us Part 2. I'll give you a sub for that.
I'm disappointed I had to scroll down so far to find someone who understands Nietzsche's philosophy not as an endorsement of nihilism, but a response to it. He predicted in the late 1800's the mental health crisis of existential dread that we would all feel in a society where God (or any religion) is not really alive in each of us. He predicted the lazy comfort-driven pleasure seeking we would all have to overcome. When people say Nietzsche is a nihilist that only says to me that they have only a surface-level understanding of his writing and probably are just going off of what someone else told them.
To me, the blackpill is almost inseparable with scientific materialism, just a version of it that focuses on biology, specifically genetics. Scientific materialism is a level above it (or below, depending on how you think). Physics -> Chemistry -> Biology -> Genetics. But I said "To me". The blackpill has no objective definition as it means something similar yet slightly different to you. So if we were to define the blackpill with what the general "blackpiller" thinks of it, then I'm not really a blackpiller and yet I'd call myself one, as I would be referring to scientific materialism and determinism.
This is one of the most interesting and introspective videos I have watched and I am only partly way through. I need more videos like this for my algorithm
True happiness is to know oneself. Its not so much that the longer you stare into the abyss the abyss stares into you. The more you stare the more you realize that you are that said abyss.
Man, I feel you. I came across Buddhism and Alant Watts when I was 16 or something. Then discovered most of the 'other ideas'. Took them seriously. 'No self' just comes back and makes the most sense, even if one can't really explain it. It's odd. Stuff just flows. Have a good one brother!
It’s unfortunate that You felt that you couldn’t ask the important questions and that dissuade you from God. I encourage you as someone who’s been through same situation to read through the gospel of Jesus Christ yourself and form your own opinions. I’m praying God touches your heart in Jesus name. Much love to you brother respect you either way God bless.
meu inglês é péssimo e me custa muito manter fixo atenção em um vídeo que esteja sendo traduzido simultaneamente pela ferramenta de tradução automática, mas eu não sei como o algoritmo me jogou aqui (provavelmente pelos vídeos de filosofia e auto desenvolvimento que consumo desenfreadamente) mas eu não consegui tirar os olhos e não acelerei o vídeo em nenhum momento, sabe aquele momento que vc percebeu que vc só não consegue manter sua atenção em quando porque não tens motivos suficiente para querer estar presente no momento (um abraço TDAHtico virtual para amigos TDAH's) e nesse vídeo foi bizarramente a coisa que mais me prendeu a atenção nos últimos tempos, espero que o canal cresça e que não sei, me apareça mais e mais vídeos assim, ou que eu realmente só consiga entender algo que ainda não entendi. excelente vídeo, não consigo explicar a sensação.
Naah, the black pill opinion is bullshit... I'm a 5 8 guy widouth an attractive face and I believe in the blackpill. The key factor is that I'm improving and trying to become the best version of myself....
i love how the things he says make me wanna argue against it and then when i listen to it i realize its correct xD Im still gonna spit my opinion here. He's just right even tho I feel like he isn't. This is why i love Skepticism. I understand the position of Anti-Natalism very much. Scientific materialism is really just understanding things about how we work. It also lead me to study drugs lol. Its also very strictly connected to nihilism. thats why i would describe myself as a absurdist or skepticist I love absurdism. its beautiful. sometimes i lay in the fields stargazing and think about how insane the cosmos is. Peterson is an insane moron On Subjectivism: i dont think its logically possible to experience(As with your alien thought experiment) objectively because experience is inherently subjective Determinism is just logical but acting like you cant change anything is dumb so you just have to not let it affect my life. Like skepticism this just leads to an infinite spiral of meta-analysis Ego-Death is my main reason to take psychedelics. Ive experience something similar on dissociating. The last parts of this vid are why i love philosophy soo much. This really intensifies with absurdism in terms of quantum mechanic and string theory. It doesn't sound insane, it sounds logical to me. Well maybe im just insane. Conclusion if you read this: i love this video. a lot of these theories have helped me through my life and to form who i am as a human being. it also made me wanting to hit up my plug for some lyserigaciddiethylamite
9:35- 9:45 it really doesn't matter where someone stands but the context of how they present the subject matter will reveal where their biases possibly lie. Then asking questions can provide more information to confirm or refute.
I don't agree with every opinion you have, but this video is well made, and I appreciate the way you segue into the next topic from the previous one. Some good takes on some of the most damaging beliefs, too. Keep grinding, brother.
At this point the Jordan Peterson haters are way more cringe than his diehard fans. And this is from someone who doesn't rlly care about him one way or the other.
He's one of the most embarrassing, self loathing people alive. Imagine taking someone who shows up to debate Marxism, but then openly admits to never having read the source material seriously. Imagine taking someone who calls other people mentally ill, but has to cope himself by popping benzos and having unhinged Twitter meltdowns seriously. All he does is bitch and push a fad diet while also being chronically ill. Could literally never be me. 😭🤣
@neg9801 because healthy people aren't benzodiazepine addicts who have unhinged breakdowns on Twitter daily, and push eating disorders onto their followers. Hope that helps!
It is often surprising to many people, especially in this age, that beliefs that are inherently true more often lead to a more fulfilling existence than falsehoods. I think this is because we are very confused about what truth is. We've deceived ourselves into believing that truth must have an appeal to rationalism or be entirely material, when that is not the case; it simply must be real.
Thank you for being completely frank about each belief. I think the videos formulation of not only providing information but discussing it as well is incredible, and I never see it in videos that are Supposed to be discussions! And I think analysis and discussion is the most important part of discourse, intellectual or philosophical, given that the discussion has foundation. Hearing about the utter cowardice and hopelessness in the negative interpretations of nihilism really puts absurdism into frame as the more rational choice because absurdism is nihilism, but the experience of absorbing and learning about absurdism is so freeing because you become ultimately fearless. When applied correctly and morally, you can be free from the fear of death, the pain of undue shame, and the stress of hanging onto parts of your life that simply do not work. I also appreciate your honesty and straightforward nature about psychedelics and the ego death experience. A lot of people do not lend them respect in regards to taking what they saw extremely literally, and talk about the actual, indeed transient pleasure (or displeasure) of an experience itself and simply do not observe the vast implications from it, which is the real and genuine part that leads to lasting change. I would love to see you outdo this video.
"There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest- whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories-comes afterwards. These are games; one must first answer. And if it is true, as Nietzsche claims, that a philosopher, to deserve our respect, must preach by example, you can appreciate the importance of that reply, for it will precede the definitive act. These are facts the heart can feel; yet they call for careful study before they become clear to the intellect." -Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus. While absurdism is not self destructive, it sure is depressing.
Got the video on main page even though I don't really watch such stuff, however I must admit it's one of the best videos I've seen on TH-cam so far. Surprisingly smooth transitions and satisfying quality of the content.
Wow. I've been going through a harsh philosophical journey and not only have you talked about the beliefs I've been going through, you've also had extremely similar thoughts to mine on things like religion and nihilism. You earned yourself a sub and I'm glad I'm not alone with my thought process
There is optimistic nihilism and it has helped me a lot. Knowing that even though i have made mistakes non of it matters. All i know is that i will try my best and make life worth living.
This might be the greatest TH-cam video I have ever seen in my life. It was so engaging, and it actually made me think about a lot of things that really matters to me. Superbly made and fantastic video and let me tell you I only comment on videos when I mean and you my friend, you have earned another subscriber! Peace out! ❤
Autruism can easily fit into the A tier as a person who was once excessively altruistic and know many altruistic people, I note that it can lead to a total self-destruction we can say that a very auttruistic person can/will *sacrifice* themselves for others taking it to extreme (for the sake of the example), narcissism is when you only focus on yourself, and auttruism being the total opposite, where you only focus on others. losing focus on yourself is very dangerous. you will often find yourself giving more than you can give, and risking more than you could. you end up giving the necessary space you have with yourself to others, which ends up leading you to do much less than necessary for yourself without realizing it you start to feel an absurd lack of yourself, and as "helping others" is something very well seen by society, you end up taking it and thinking that only giving to others is good, which ends up making you move even further away from yourself. the more this progresses, the more depressed you will become if you want to help others and still survive, you need to find the middle ground. you need to take care of yourself as much as you take care of others

You tell on yourself in the first 2 min. Optimism is not on its own a strong enough reason to stay in a toxic relationship. Optimism also goes: "It's ok if we break up, I'll be fine, amd I'll find a new, healthy partner in the right time."
Spoken like a true optimist!! Looking for the greater outcome no matter what the circumstances are!
@@raptorboss6688I strive in all respects to become a realistic optimist (with a bit of nondualism).

Optimism can be practiced with rational thinking, self-awareness and fair realism.

Nietzsche is not a nihilist. Instead, he predicted that the common man would go through the stages of religion -> nihilism -> existential crisis -> comfort seeking. He also predicted that certain individuals, the Ubermensch he endorses so much, would instead be more like religion -> nihilism -> existential revival -> self-inflicted trials/embracing suffering -> life lived as a form of art itself. It is not right to call him a nihilist when he so often, very, very often, constantly degraded those who would only stop at nihilistic conclusions of life.
He wrote in his later years about the Eternal Reoccurrence, meaning to envision life being infinite means one would likely experience living the exact same life you are now, again, and again, for all of the infinite eternity. May as well create a life you are grateful and even proud to live again. That is the point of creating one's own meaning. For him it became like his religion. Having such a meaning behind his writing automatically defeats the idea he was ever a nihilist in his works.
I think it is a shame that he died before ever finishing his 4-part series The Antichrist, he was hospitalized and died in hospice after finishing only the first volume. But Nietzsche wrote that he was only breaking down the past philosophies that lead to nihilistic, pointless life, so that future philosophers could build on what little foundation he's laid to create a new and much more grand, more meaningful philosophy. In his later works, he even said, "I am finished with being a no-sayer! From this time on, let me only be---a yes-sayer!" His philosophy grew and evolved as he aged and contemplated to himself. To read only one of his early works and consider that must be his entire philosophy, is to ignore that people develop as they grow, and Nietzsche knew this, constantly reevaluating his works as he went on. One can only imagine what he would have written had he been able to finish his last project. But again, he left that to us to complete for ourselves.
It's more correct instead of calling him nihilistic, to call him something like a moral-subjectivist, but even that is missing the mark when he proclaimed himself to be antimoralist, he regularly called himself an amoralist! It's most correct to say that, Nietzsche only respected two things, the Will to Power (the desire of any being to gain ability to meet their own wants), and love (believe it or not, he wrote extensively how love was what transcended concepts of good vs evil). To call Nietzsche nihilist is to forget how much he loved life itself, and how deeply he yearned for people to love living life as extensively as they could, for people to become something they venerated as much as one would a god. That's the essential meaning behind The Antichrist, to become anti-Christian, needing no god or savior, and ascending to greatness through one's own will alone.
Yeah I think Nietzsche is one of the few who got how to steer through the hellscape that is life. He is the real deal.
No, its wrong, Übermensch cannot be affected by neither nihilism or religion, Übermensch is an embodiment of life affirmation that doesnt have any views or beliefs but doesnt suffer from it, because the life as it is would be always enough for them, he is fully human and fully animal, he is amoral.
@@kiss-shotacerola-orionhear220 To define the Ubermensch as one who has never doubted his own existence or purpose in life, or that he never in his life considered the existence of the divine, is a bit unrealistic. It has too much of the "the Ubermensch should..." in it.
If a man achieves everything the Ubermensch would be expected to achieve, and then on his deathbed says "I believe in Jesus", does that make him any less of an Ubermensch? Perhaps he would not be the exact image of Nietzsche's Ubermensch, but an Ubermensch he is anyways. The internal environment of the man is not really what matters, anyhow, it's how he affects the world.
What Nietzsche wrote, he wrote specifically saying that everything he's laying down is only groundwork, subject to revision by future philosophers. In this spirit, I posit the idea that an Ubermensch could exist and still at times ponder the divine, and even doubt the meaning behind his very existence. What matters most is that even if he suffers for these thoughts, they do not hold him back. It is not the absence of the suffering, but the *transforming* of that suffering into something life-affirming that makes him - The Ubermensch.
@@brianjones9780because saying I believe in Jesus also often implies the moral component of Christianity which is a nihilistic religion, no one that said it views it purely as some sort of creationist theory, but a moral compass to follow. That's said, Übermensch "believing in Jesus" would not be a sincere thought, but the game he plays right now, a theater play.
@@kiss-shotacerola-orionhear220 implies the moral component? *Which* moral component? Even within any specific denomination of Christianity, there are *many* moral components that often are completely contradictory to the moral components of other denominations, or even within their own! There is no way to speak of "Christian morals" in less length than a textbook without hyper-focusing on or ignoring certain denominations of Christianity.
And after all, there are denominations of Christianity that do not care how moral or amoral a person you were, if you can believe that Jesus forgave you, you are absolved in the afterlife. It's not hard to believe a guy was put to death as an injustice to him, and he still mustered up the will to forgive everyone that ever lived anyways. There are denominations these days of Christianity that say if you can believe in that, you are a Christian. No moral behavioral obligation, only a momentary belief, that thought occurring itself is all that is necessary.
So this is the real point I'm making, that a statement, "I believe in Jesus" has absolutely no bearing on how a person behaves morally, even if said truthfully. One only needs to visit an American town on friday, go the local bar with all its debauchery and adulterers, and then see some of those same people at the church on Sunday. There is no one singular "moral component" to Christianity at its core, because Christians can't even agree with each other on what Jesus said in the first place, except that no moral sin is too great for Jesus to have forgiven!
I'm positing indeed again, the extreme idea, the absurd notion that a person may be *an amoral Christian.* After all, Nietzsche said himself that Jesus was speaking a profound truth that was tainted by the resentment of his disciples, a profound truth that can only be communicated in symbology. In some denominations, this makes even Nietzsche a Christian!
One must understand that Nietzsche wrote for his time in contemporary fashion, and what he knew about Christianity was only current to his era. Even more, he first graduated from a Christian university for theology! Before he ever considered philosophy on its own! And yet, despite all his amoral, anti-Christian musings, he still says in essence that he is not anti-Jesus, no, he admires Jesus! He is anti-"the religion that erupted after the crucifixion!"
Behold. Nietzsche. He accepts the truth in Jesus, and rejects the bullshit that came after Jesus. This made Nietzsche the first Antichrist.

God I’ve been in a DEEP philosophical hole just like this. I’ve experienced nearly every single mode of thinking. I’m glad to know I’m completely alone.
Real
Idk if you’ve read The Red Book by Carl Jung. But that’s given me some peace these past months. If you have I’d be down to pick your brain.
LMAOOOO
Unfortunately for us, I think I can empathize.
Bro had us in the first half lmao
I’ve never watched anything that’s so articulately expressed my entire life story. I genuinely thought I was the only one for a while and there was a bit of egotistical pride in that, and yet here you are, taking it a step further. I’m going to have to sit with it for a while.
I didn’t know how badly i needed this video. It had a deep impact on me. Your efforts aren’t in vain. Thank you.
All the low motivation and existential dread I experienced went away when I realized I had untreated high functioning ADHD. You mentioned it a bit in the part about scientific materialism but the role of dopamine in motivation and especially feeling like “what’s the point“ is really under appreciated by a lot of people in society especially young men.
I am honestly shocked that such a video only has around 12k views. I only noticed it halfway through, but i genuinely believed that this video would be all the way up in the high millions of views. Such a great video, it really deserves more attention.

optimism is a good tool if you actually use it; Like it's a good ass method if you're actually working towards what you're optimistic about. Optimisim is horrible when passive, but broken when it fuels your work
@@Jules-kp7rw That's fair; what I mean to suggest is that optimism is just an enabler of activity.
If your goal is to lounge, and you're optimistic about lounging, muy bien.
If your goal is to work, and you're optimistic about work, muy bien.
Where horrible comes to play is when there is a mixup between goals, feelings and current activity, and also a few niche things.
Optimism is an enabler of habits and activities, and can be used to mitigate the psychological stress of bad activities and habits and reinforce said habits, as well as reinforce good habits and activities too.
Atleast that's how I see it, I dunno
@@Jules-kp7rw I guess in my understanding, the side of optimism comes from the idea of optimism as an enabler.
Lets say theres a dude who's killing people and he's optimistic about his situation. He's probably going to keep killing, or feel less moral qualms about murder because optimism is an enabler of his actions. Like he could hate killing people, but optimism, looking forwards, has him killing still because he dreams of a time where he doesn't have to kill anymore.
Optimism is more grey, as are all things in my opinion, but because it's an enabler, is enables all things it's applied to, including the "bad"
Jordan Peterson's one is crazy as well. The guy is jumping from depression to depression, hitting specialist psychic wards and gobbling up meds to stay sane. He himself is the living proof his philosophy is self-destructive
I dont know who you are but I'm glad you wound up in my feed. I'm 17 always struggling to grow into a man of understanding myself and others. And I genuinely love your slow but in depth explainations of every belief. I felt a genuine inspiration listening to you speak. I feel I relate a lot to you just in a different story. And you've earned my sub.

@luk4aaaa my parents weren't very good growing up. They kinda just gave me a phone at 4 and didn't guide me a whole lot afterwards. So I've been growing myself. It's a lil different from just waiting to grow up, cuz I feel socially and emotionally behind.
@@ramagon2761 that is ok. you do not need to succeed or even feel like you are, what matters is that you keep trying, observing your own startegies and behaviours and changing them if need be. what you can be absolutely certain of is that you have much more time than you think, so take your time, don't rush, figure things out and eventually you will be the person you want to be.
@luk4aaaa I'm aware. I don't mean to give off the impression that all I care about is growing or tryna become an adult. I simply just love to learn about this world. I feel that if I can handle the hard truths of the world and even find a way to see them positively, then I can't hurt myself. Everything around us has a story and an energy it gives off. It gives me excitement to understand all the things we've done and learned as a species. Especially psychology and neurochemistry. I like to focus on being a strong individual but I also love the beauty in the inner workings of this world. Even the bad.

Your absurdism section had me smiling the entire time
This was absolutely incredible! I was already hooked throughout the majority anyway but once you reached the end and began talking about no-self and dualism I immediately perked up as it mirrored my own psychedelic journey exactly! While I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a proper ego death, I can think back to moments during trips of establishing that connection to the collective human consciousness, and times after trips when interacting with someone and being able to put myself behind their eyes, that vague sense of knowing that I could just as well BE them, as they could just as well be me. I’d always at least *tried* to be a kind person, *tried* to be altruistic, *tried* to remember that others are living lives just as rich and complex as my own, but could always faulter. But then, having gone and seen and felt that for myself, having seen and felt that oneness we subliminally share, having seen and felt what truly unites us, all that stuff not only comes naturally now, but I am easily the happiest I’ve ever been and grown into a much better person. Now over five years on from my very first trip, I wouldn’t have missed them for the world, and the love I feel, the newfound optimism I harbour is only growing stronger. Remember, like he said in this video, you don’t have to take mindbending drugs to find this, but however you choose to, go have a look for yourself! I think you’ll be pleased with what you find. :) take care everyone, lead the best lives you can, remember that we truly are all one and that if we truly act with love in everything we do, then the rest might just work itself out ✌️☮️
Solid points, solid transitions, direct, sweet & simple. Good vid bro 💪.
Closest I’ve come to that sense of we are all the same is when I think about how amazing it is everyone exists and how improbable it is you see how everyone is a vulnerable unique individual living their lives and it’s beautiful you appreciate everyone and (starting to get wacky) I started to see auras around people in my mind and could tell good people from bad people truly I think it showed me there are different levels of consciousness you can tap into depending on your thinking but it’s hard to stay at that level all the time you have to constantly be thinking how amazing it is others exist but very life changing for me
INCREDIBLE work and sage philosophy. I’ve been through most of these beliefs and similarly experienced an ego death from psychedelics. Excited to see your channel grow.

Great video man. As someone who's been struggling with thoughts and emotions I feel like I have no control over since I can remember me, this was a very thought-provoking video. I cannot say whether it helped me or not yet but I can say if was fresh, well-thought out and offered many unique perspectives, thank you.
Thank you so much for making this video. It honestly made me cry.
I was recently diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, and saw how fragile my life was. I experienced an existential crisis for a while… nights where I couldn’t sleep because I was so scared that I had no control over my body. However, that was not true. It’s just my body reacting to my environment.
Bro when you explained what No-Self is, I literally screamed “FACTS!!” out loud. I have thought this way for so long and had no idea there was an actual term for it, or that it was an established philosophy!!! :OO

One of the best youtube videos I ever watched. Felt like a movie the way everything flowed and transitioned so nicely, coming to its climax for the Doomer idealogy only to deconstruct itself further into the end of the video. Cant wait to see more
Just like any muscle, concepts can be rebuilt stronger when you can disassemble it, and put it back together. Congrats on your philosophical prowess.
Great stuff dude. This is really refreshing to hear someone think this way. Badly needed in these times. I can tell you didn't come to these conclusions overnight. Hope the algo picks you up!
People, like me, who have been on the hedonistic treadmill usually wont notice theyre on it. But once you do, you realize that owning things is nice n all, but it doesnt inherently lead to being happy. It can, if done right, but usually it doesnt.
What does however are experiences that mean something to you personally. Creating a painting. Building something. Telling a joke to others to spread a tiny bit of joy. Cook for your friends and enjoy a meal with them. etc..Those are the things that usually are fulfilling, instead of buying things. Buying stuff may give you shortterm pleasure.. But it will also make you hungry for more. And It will never be enough. The extremes we see with the ultra wealthy. How many yachts are enough? How many mansions filled with staff? Its never enough.
I also agree with anti-natalism. The problem, to me, isnt that there is suffering. Because, to live is to suffer. The problem is, that here is an absurd amount to experience in ones life, compared to positve ones. Which is why i refuse to bring anyone into this. But thats a choice everyone has to make for themselves. Or, well.. at least should think about.
Nietzsche also wasnt about nihilism. He feared nihilism taking over because of the decline of the church and made points to avoid letting it take over. Because nihilism would erode society over time, at least he seemed to think so. And i agree, for it is poison to the mind. He was about existentialism. To become the best you you can be and continue on despite apparent meaninglessness.
The Idea that awareness, whatever it is, being fundamental is also a very, very old one. Many believed or believe this. Many big scientists do too. Max planck for example. But who knows if its true, or not? My guess is, that we are all equally insane, whatever we think to know or believe. We should instead roast some marshmallows by the fire with our fellow apes instead of thinking too much. We will know after we die, probably.. or we wont. It wont matter.
My take is that all of us can be convinced by outside forces that we are insane/mentally Ill, leading us into more and more destructive behaviors. Some fall into the trap and some find ways out. It’s why confidence and self esteem is so important, letting others impose their will on you can really screw some ppl up and send them down dark paths
Anti Natalism is a very gravitating thing because at glance it seems logical. But in the end its vision is separate from its practice. In thought it’s empathy for the planet and the seemingly vain suffering of plethoras of beings. However its practice is a defeatist death cult down to the bone. It’s one step away from post mortalism. This falls in the same paralleled consequences as nihilism. It’s a fundamental no to life. Nietzsche’s fundamental philosophy was a big YES to life, to Amor Fati (love your fate) love life in utter totality and love the earth in utter totality. One philosophy feeds to life the other lullaby’s to death.
Nietzsche described himself as a nihilist as he thought that was the logical choice in his time. Hell, he even says that all forms of morality are just baseless power structures with no real moral grounds because morality does not really exist.
You need money for all that...
@@tommygertcher2747well to be fair you need money to survive. From what I understand what he's trying to get at is that true fulfillment is not from mindless materialism and hedoism that only fuels your own individual short-term happiness, but rather pursue other forms of fulfillment in which you interact positively with the emotions of individuals around you, something that hedoism and materialism simply cannot fulfill.
I want to wholeheartedly thank you for compiling and sharing this video with us! It has helped many of us in various ways. Please continue to have a good life for yourself and for the benefit of all the rest of "us".
This is honestly such an interesting video idea
The transitions from topic to topic were extremely good. Amazing video and editing!!
Man, You got my attention, brotha. FOR THE WHOLE VIDEO! I am a humble Buddhist(From the HQ) and I have all the beliefs that you have too. Good Job!
So glad to hear!
What do you mean with HQ?
@@MichaTheLighthe means Buddhist headquarters, which is located in Hudson yards, NY, suite A77
@aw_shucks17 you funny guy. 😁 I like you👊
I would do the Tier List differently but listening your opinion and comparing it to my views was great. Thank you for the opportunity! ☺️
It would be cool to see a deep analysis of each if these beliefs breaking them down individually so we can really understand their beliefs.
Please make more videos. This video contained so much humanness and desire to understand different perspectives. Somethings which is not granted on the internet.
In Hindu(Sanatana Dharma) texts, The society usually functions with the principle of Karma(the Western concept), along with positive optimism towards God. Inshort, Do what is your Dharma(duty of righteousness) and leave the results to God. I find it very similar to stoic principles which emphasise "the journey" over the "the destination".
Hope y'all have a good life❤💯.
Jai Shri Krishna 🌸🤍
You are probably one of the most open-minded people on the internet right now. please continue with these videos.
I am blown away by the quality of this video. Can't believe youre still under 2k subs. Proud to join those numbers. I love how you made each tier flow into the next.
I also relate bigly to your struggles that seem to be behind you. I'm still in that drugs/sex rut. Trying to get out, just trying to do a little bit better each day.
I think that this tier list shows more of yourself than the "self-destructive beliefs" per se. But it was a nice video :)
Incredible video, I've experienced a similar journey through all of these concepts, feels amazing to see it portrayed so eloquently, subbed and hyped to see more!
I don’t know how to explain, I was at rock bottom in despair and grief last week.
I tried to get my thoughts together reflecting on past and present and possible future, I couldn’t manage to hold a grasp of where to begin with.
I laid on couch tired, I felt in a state of sleep and being awake at the same time, I never felt anything like that, I never knew what a spiritual awakening was or never heard of but I felt love, so much love towards anything and everything. It felt euphoric and pleasant as tears just would fall as I felt this sense of calmness and warmth never before.
Wish I could describe it better than this.
To further complicate the question of Nietzsche’s nihilism, if one accepts the distinction between moral nihilism (rejection of the truth value of moral claims) and more general epistemological nihilism (rejection of the very premise of meaning and knowledge) its pretty clear that Nietzsche falls into the first camp while simultaneously arguing against the latter.
??? Where? How?
Nietzsche's work is an antithesis of nihilism. His main argument is that in modern society, God is no longer the base for moral and existential fulfillment (that's what he means when he says that God is dead), and as such, we must give life meaning ourselves by forming our own base for moral and existential fulfillment. He argues that life must give itself meaning, and as such is a direct opposition to nihilism, as well as religious-based meaning because it seeks meaning outside of life and also romanticizes its end.

@@himalayo in the first sentence I stated “…if one accepts the distinction between moral nihilism and more general ontological nihilism…” the first is a metaethical statement. The second is the meaningless existence you are describing. I literally defined these terms in the previous comment…
@@chrisn7972 I am describing a lack of meaningless. If life gives itself meaning, then life is meaningful, has meaning, and isn’t meaningless, and as such is contrary to the idea of life being meaningless.
@@himalayo my friend, I am defining the term “nihilism”. I never gave a summary of Nietzsche’s existentialism. No disrespect but I don’t know I can clarify my initial statement any further.
The second one is self-defeating anyways, rejecting objective morality however is logical and consistent.
About your controversy on subjectivism on your experiences being real or not. I think I heard ekhart tolle say once that are perceptions are only a FRAGMENT of the truth and that saying what we experience as the truth is inherently wrong as the truth is all fragments combined, everything combined. Btw I love this video and I hope you read this. I already subscribed keep up the good content👍👍👍👍👍
Great video, even with this meme-y tier list format it conveys a journey through life with lots of parallels to mine
Hands down one of the best TH-cam videos I have ever watched. Thanks for the amazing video!
I’m so glad that I’ve watched this video till the end. It was a moment that I knew myself, and beliefs were gone. After everything I learned here, I can surely answer all my questions of existence. I kinda feel like awareness is me. Thank you for great video man!❤❤❤❤❤
Easily one of if not THE best yt video I've ever seen. Keep it up bro. This was fantastic!!
I almost cried in the end, the idea that all things and all beings and beliefs, and everything that exists is only one, makes me feel so fufilled and connected. i've never felt this way before. it makes me feel so close to everything, and relate to everything that is, and especially God, it makes me feel like i'm him, but not him, and we all are like this, but most people have not felt this, everything suddenly makes sense, everything has meaning now, it feels like there's not reason to question anything, because we are all one, and we're the same thing, and we are brothers, but not brothers, we are one. I feel like there's no sadness, depression, or any kind of feeling or mental state, i feel pure peace, some kind of peace which is impossible to fully describe, you just feel it. I feel like i needed this, i feel free, i feel like i can do whatever, but at the same time, i don't wanna do bad, because it would hurt me, since what i'm doing to something, is hurting "us", or the one we are. This is the most beatiful video i've seen, i've never felt this kind of peace and liberty. Thank you.
Hello, thanks for making this. You summarized some complex topics very well, and I think a true show of understanding is the ability to summarize so well done, you clearly studied these topics.
I myself have grappled with many of these philosophical problems. It was nice to see them presented together so succinctly - well done, and I hope together we find some meaning to it all :)
This has got to be one of the best TH-cam videos I've come across lately. The way it resonated with me and captured exactly how I've been feeling is incredible. I felt deeply understood throughout. And that ending... It was just so beautifully moving, it touched me in ways I didn't expect. Truly a remarkable piece of content.
I was expecting a 5 million sub channel but what a gem of a video this was highly informative and really puts into perspective on what belief i could be experiencing at any moment in my life
Damn bro this is a hella good video. Hope your channel gets all the attention and praise it deserves!
You helped go back into my spiritual journey. The idea of nonduality hit my mind years ago but I rejected it recently due to hard times. It’s not an easy idea to grasp when people around you are not understanding what you are. But I believe this idea or truth has great power behind it and if we were all to see it, then who knows where we can transcend to as spiritual beings.
The best thing for your mental health isnt a belief system, it's a system of practices. I'm a paranoid schizophrenic. 3 things keep me from going crazy or being depressed: nature walks, dancing to music, and short periods of meditation. I do these on the daily.
So yeah I don't have anything as grand as a belief system but if you want to have good mental health make sure you do these 3 things every day.
Not going to explain the benefits of exercise or meditation, most people know they should be doing both. But y'all always come after me for dancing. SO just know that I read a study and it was the best thing for depression. Try it if you don't believe, you can test it for yourself.
Like if you read my comment, it's always good to know you've been seen.
You have probably just fixed my mind. I was looking for this video for ages and I think I understand the last part finally. Thank you!
This is the best tier list I have ever seen. I love philosophy and you took it to another level. This was a personal presentation of human experience. Good structure and the topic was really relatable! Good job buddy!❤
It's unreasonable that a channel with such high quality has that few subs. This HAS to change. I am doing my part!
When I started watching the video I thought that you had at least a million subs based on how good the quality of the video was. Great work !
Optimism isn't inherently toxic or a delusional trait. How you yourself view and express it in conjunction to the world around you is what really matters.
Not many people can make a video on something like this and remain completely unbiased, so that is very much appreciated.
There's likely no video, especially when talking about philosophy, that completely cleans itself of bias, but it is pretty impressive how he puts himself together in this video.
"We are just monkeys put on this rock called earth that managed to put on some clothes and now we think we are above animals" lot of people forget this, the reality of our existence, at the end of the day we are animals that walk on two legs. We got a long way to go as a species if we manage to survive.
34:00 On that note:
I believe that Hegel, correct me if I'm wrong, wrote about something similar. About how all of us share one "geist", one subconscious, or was it one unconscious. That deep down our minds are connected, almost one and the same. And it kind of makes sense... sometimes at least.
On another, more personal, note:
I too believe that love is not just an emotion, but the start and end of it all, in a way. Everything is born from, for, and for the sake for... Love!

Don't understand why people think Determinism means you have no control, it's not fatalism. It's simply that whatever choice you make is just the only choice you would have ever made, it's not the only choice you could have made because if the only thing stopping you from making a choice is yourself then there are multiple choices.
If you are asked what icecream do you want "Chocolate, Strawberry or Vanilla?"
You now have three choices, there is nothing other than your own preference stopping you from picking one over the other.
This is where hipsters will say "but if you don't choose your own preference then it's not your choice" which is stupid because you can say that about anything if you zoom out enough, which is pointless and also besides the point of what a choice is. Then it becomes a discussion about what the self is, but at the end of the day our wants, need, preferences, environment, upbringing, past etc are what makes us who we are, the self is what it made up of all these things. So the person making the choice of ice cream is making a choice predicated on all of aka the person itself is making the choice of ice cream. It's like a poker game, you can't pick the cards but you can choose which to play. He has three choices, he then has to evaluate which one he wants the most and makes a decision based on his preferences which is apart of who he is as a person.
This idea of the ultimate self being some being separated completely from the brain is a joke, in that case if we were separated from our brain we'd not be us anymore because we wouldn't have any of the things that make us who we are. Our history, preferences, personality etc the self is all of us not just our consciousness. The consciousness is simply what makes us able to process all of this and actually make choices, yes it's proven that our subconscious makes a lot of choices and actions before our conscious mind gets to however there is a lot of data on that, which contradicts that but it's been proven that our consciousness can stop us from doing this subconscious action. If my subconscious send a signal to my finger to flick out my conscious mind will be able to stop that movement. Which once again proves that are sub conscious is also part of who we are, the only reason the whole debate exists is because of this obsession with this ultimate sense of self which doesn't exist. Our own brain given there are given there isn't a tumor or something are who we are.
And btw yes I know these out of body drug induced things have happened where people feel out of their body saying their consciousness or spirit was removed from their body, but I'm sorry taking people on psychiatry as proof seems a little silly
as an happy nihilist I find peace in the idea of no meaning.
as for me, the only meaning there is to things is the one life gives it.
Gold isn't inherently valuable, we made it so, us living things.
life doesn't have any meaning or value if you don't give it one.
I found happiness in this, I have control over everything, and I like to think that "To experience" is life meaning.
just do as many things as possible, like trying to get all achievement in a game, but there is so much stuff to do that you'll never be able to experience everything, but your goal is to do as much as you can with the time you have.
even if you believe in god, what creator wouldn't want his creations to be appreciated and noticed by someone?
don't limit yourself, try everything, you can do and achieve anything with dedication, literally ANYTHING!
Art, music, math, knowledge, muscle, agility, anything you see somebody do you can do, might take more effort, but its not a never!
The fact I gone trough each single one of these things trying to understand myself, gave up on em and now watching video about someone who gone trough these things too makes it, well, cool ig. I remember sharing the idea of "I'm everyone, everyone is me" transforming it into "maybe all of our consciousness is just the entire universe trying to understand itself" right after sex with my ex, telling it to them, looking at the starts together.. It was a vibe
Overall great video, but I think it was a mistake to use Nietzsche as the image of nihilism, and in fact, I think the whole concept of nihilism is a bit muddled throughout. It would have made equal sense to put Peterson or Camus as the image, as all three men are basically responding to a nihilistic world. Nietzsche has his Ubermensch, Peterson says we should just act as if God is true even if not real, and Camus says we should embrace the absurdity of it all. But if you say Nietzsche is a nihilist, then so are the other two. I think Nietzsche should have been given his own category. I think his belief structure is even greater for self improvement than Peterson or Camus. It would have been interesting hearing your take on Nietzscheanism. Also as a more minor point, I don't think blackpill is purely an incel thing. Funny enough, I think of the blackpill as largely synonymous with nihilism, pessimism and doomerism. Maybe I'm just chronically online, but I've used the term "Feeling blackpilled" and it had nothing to do with women or attractiveness or anything like that. Just depression or feelings of hopelessness. Bonus points for dissing The Last of Us Part 2. I'll give you a sub for that.
I'm disappointed I had to scroll down so far to find someone who understands Nietzsche's philosophy not as an endorsement of nihilism, but a response to it. He predicted in the late 1800's the mental health crisis of existential dread that we would all feel in a society where God (or any religion) is not really alive in each of us. He predicted the lazy comfort-driven pleasure seeking we would all have to overcome. When people say Nietzsche is a nihilist that only says to me that they have only a surface-level understanding of his writing and probably are just going off of what someone else told them.
Yes exactly. @@brianjones9780
To me, the blackpill is almost inseparable with scientific materialism, just a version of it that focuses on biology, specifically genetics. Scientific materialism is a level above it (or below, depending on how you think). Physics -> Chemistry -> Biology -> Genetics.
But I said "To me". The blackpill has no objective definition as it means something similar yet slightly different to you. So if we were to define the blackpill with what the general "blackpiller" thinks of it, then I'm not really a blackpiller and yet I'd call myself one, as I would be referring to scientific materialism and determinism.
He addresses the fact that Nietzsche wasn't a nihilist in the section.
This is one of the most interesting and introspective videos I have watched and I am only partly way through. I need more videos like this for my algorithm
Here for the algorithm , great job man! crazy cool idea and perfect explanations
True happiness is to know oneself. Its not so much that the longer you stare into the abyss the abyss stares into you. The more you stare the more you realize that you are that said abyss.
I needed to see a video like this. Thank you very much.
Total random sidepoint, but you are absolutely incredible at transitioning between subjects
Nice video bro, learned a few things. Thank u
Man, I feel you. I came across Buddhism and Alant Watts when I was 16 or something. Then discovered most of the 'other ideas'. Took them seriously. 'No self' just comes back and makes the most sense, even if one can't really explain it. It's odd. Stuff just flows. Have a good one brother!
It’s unfortunate that You felt that you couldn’t ask the important questions and that dissuade you from God. I encourage you as someone who’s been through same situation to read through the gospel of Jesus Christ yourself and form your own opinions. I’m praying God touches your heart in Jesus name. Much love to you brother respect you either way God bless.
meu inglês é péssimo e me custa muito manter fixo atenção em um vídeo que esteja sendo traduzido simultaneamente pela ferramenta de tradução automática, mas eu não sei como o algoritmo me jogou aqui (provavelmente pelos vídeos de filosofia e auto desenvolvimento que consumo desenfreadamente) mas eu não consegui tirar os olhos e não acelerei o vídeo em nenhum momento, sabe aquele momento que vc percebeu que vc só não consegue manter sua atenção em quando porque não tens motivos suficiente para querer estar presente no momento (um abraço TDAHtico virtual para amigos TDAH's) e nesse vídeo foi bizarramente a coisa que mais me prendeu a atenção nos últimos tempos, espero que o canal cresça e que não sei, me apareça mais e mais vídeos assim, ou que eu realmente só consiga entender algo que ainda não entendi. excelente vídeo, não consigo explicar a sensação.
Naah, the black pill opinion is bullshit... I'm a 5 8 guy widouth an attractive face and I believe in the blackpill. The key factor is that I'm improving and trying to become the best version of myself....
just improve bro
That monolouge you had at the start of the video.... I thought I was the only one... you described my thoughts avout existence exactly
i love how the things he says make me wanna argue against it and then when i listen to it i realize its correct xD Im still gonna spit my opinion here. He's just right even tho I feel like he isn't. This is why i love Skepticism.
I understand the position of Anti-Natalism very much.
Scientific materialism is really just understanding things about how we work. It also lead me to study drugs lol. Its also very strictly connected to nihilism. thats why i would describe myself as a absurdist or skepticist
I love absurdism. its beautiful. sometimes i lay in the fields stargazing and think about how insane the cosmos is.
Peterson is an insane moron
On Subjectivism: i dont think its logically possible to experience(As with your alien thought experiment) objectively because experience is inherently subjective
Determinism is just logical but acting like you cant change anything is dumb so you just have to not let it affect my life. Like skepticism this just leads to an infinite spiral of meta-analysis
Ego-Death is my main reason to take psychedelics. Ive experience something similar on dissociating. The last parts of this vid are why i love philosophy soo much. This really intensifies with absurdism in terms of quantum mechanic and string theory. It doesn't sound insane, it sounds logical to me. Well maybe im just insane.
Conclusion if you read this: i love this video. a lot of these theories have helped me through my life and to form who i am as a human being. it also made me wanting to hit up my plug for some lyserigaciddiethylamite
He Got god so wrong tho lol
You deserve at least a million subs, dude. This is a fantastic video.
But where do the last two go???
9:35- 9:45 it really doesn't matter where someone stands but the context of how they present the subject matter will reveal where their biases possibly lie. Then asking questions can provide more information to confirm or refute.
nice cope bro
blackpill and determinism are the only valid ones
XD
XDD
Uh oh someone's beliefs are being challenged
terminally online
I don't agree with every opinion you have, but this video is well made, and I appreciate the way you segue into the next topic from the previous one.
Some good takes on some of the most damaging beliefs, too.
Keep grinding, brother.
Currycel coping 😂 the blackpill applies all women. Even if they present themselves and went out there it’s the same result everytime
And the moment he started dropping new age shenanigans💀
This was incredible. Keep going!!
Imagine pretending Jordan Peterson is healthy.
Bruh😂
At this point the Jordan Peterson haters are way more cringe than his diehard fans. And this is from someone who doesn't rlly care about him one way or the other.
He's one of the most embarrassing, self loathing people alive. Imagine taking someone who shows up to debate Marxism, but then openly admits to never having read the source material seriously. Imagine taking someone who calls other people mentally ill, but has to cope himself by popping benzos and having unhinged Twitter meltdowns seriously. All he does is bitch and push a fad diet while also being chronically ill. Could literally never be me. 😭🤣
Why do you say he isn't?
@neg9801 because healthy people aren't benzodiazepine addicts who have unhinged breakdowns on Twitter daily, and push eating disorders onto their followers. Hope that helps!
It is often surprising to many people, especially in this age, that beliefs that are inherently true more often lead to a more fulfilling existence than falsehoods. I think this is because we are very confused about what truth is. We've deceived ourselves into believing that truth must have an appeal to rationalism or be entirely material, when that is not the case; it simply must be real.
Next time hide your face bro
Weird
Thank you for being completely frank about each belief. I think the videos formulation of not only providing information but discussing it as well is incredible, and I never see it in videos that are Supposed to be discussions! And I think analysis and discussion is the most important part of discourse, intellectual or philosophical, given that the discussion has foundation. Hearing about the utter cowardice and hopelessness in the negative interpretations of nihilism really puts absurdism into frame as the more rational choice because absurdism is nihilism, but the experience of absorbing and learning about absurdism is so freeing because you become ultimately fearless. When applied correctly and morally, you can be free from the fear of death, the pain of undue shame, and the stress of hanging onto parts of your life that simply do not work. I also appreciate your honesty and straightforward nature about psychedelics and the ego death experience. A lot of people do not lend them respect in regards to taking what they saw extremely literally, and talk about the actual, indeed transient pleasure (or displeasure) of an experience itself and simply do not observe the vast implications from it, which is the real and genuine part that leads to lasting change. I would love to see you outdo this video.
"There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest- whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories-comes afterwards. These are games; one must first answer. And if it is true, as Nietzsche claims, that a philosopher, to deserve our respect, must preach by example, you can appreciate the importance of that reply, for it will precede the definitive act. These are facts the heart can feel; yet they call for careful study before they become clear to the intellect." -Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus. While absurdism is not self destructive, it sure is depressing.
One of the best tier lists I've ever watched
Got the video on main page even though I don't really watch such stuff, however I must admit it's one of the best videos I've seen on TH-cam so far. Surprisingly smooth transitions and satisfying quality of the content.
Wow. I've been going through a harsh philosophical journey and not only have you talked about the beliefs I've been going through, you've also had extremely similar thoughts to mine on things like religion and nihilism. You earned yourself a sub and I'm glad I'm not alone with my thought process
There is optimistic nihilism and it has helped me a lot. Knowing that even though i have made mistakes non of it matters. All i know is that i will try my best and make life worth living.
This is the foundation of Nietzsche's ideas.
This might be the greatest TH-cam video I have ever seen in my life. It was so engaging, and it actually made me think about a lot of things that really matters to me. Superbly made and fantastic video and let me tell you I only comment on videos when I mean and you my friend, you have earned another subscriber!
Peace out!

Autruism can easily fit into the A tier
as a person who was once excessively altruistic and know many altruistic people, I note that it can lead to a total self-destruction
we can say that a very auttruistic person can/will *sacrifice* themselves for others
taking it to extreme (for the sake of the example), narcissism is when you only focus on yourself, and auttruism being the total opposite, where you only focus on others.
losing focus on yourself is very dangerous. you will often find yourself giving more than you can give, and risking more than you could. you end up giving the necessary space you have with yourself to others, which ends up leading you to do much less than necessary for yourself
without realizing it you start to feel an absurd lack of yourself, and as "helping others" is something very well seen by society, you end up taking it and thinking that only giving to others is good, which ends up making you move even further away from yourself. the more this progresses, the more depressed you will become
if you want to help others and still survive, you need to find the middle ground. you need to take care of yourself as much as you take care of others
Commenting for the algorithm. Can tell from the way you're speaking is you're genuinely passionate to share these knowledge to us rather than just making a video for views. Subbed
