that's the heart of the philosophical discussion of Rationalism vs Empiricism. And that is where empiricism fails: besides it being great to debunk mysticism, it fails to recognize our innate intelligence, our inner power or knowledge a priori. We are not made to question everything, we are made to have a meaningful goal and strive towards it.
In my age, I’ve realized it’s all in the mind and heart. You can pull a successful entrepreneur out of his station and put him in a desperate situation with no money, no resources and no connections. Within 2 years, he’ll have something powerful started and trending towards success.
Of course it does and anybody says otherwise has no idea what are they talking about. A lot of financially successful guys i know are biggest morons and no real lofe achievements outside of money, sometimes i think they can't add two plus two, but for example one of them (ironically he is the one always preaching stupid stuff like positive thinking, and good approach will get you somewhere) inherited a business from his father. Business wasn't anything groundbreaking, but he made it extremely financially successful, you ask how ? Well he was selling something online that be bought from stationary sellers and then covid happened. So from small buissnes it suddenly became big buissnes. And he is so stupid that if u ask him why is he successful he would never tell you ooh because i was lucky my father created something small and then covid happened and i was rich. He would say a lot of stupid stuff oh you know hard work and i was smart and blah blah blah. And this is just one example.@@MrDjhealth
This is an excellent video with so many examples of how many people live their lives by default. This is largely due to most people lacking the ability to think critically. Critical thinking involves deep, profound and independent thinking that is not influenced by marketing, propaganda, religious rituals, political ideology, family, friends, mainstream media, mainstream thinking as well other societal accepted norms. Critical thinking involves TRUE independent and non biased thinking.
It's not that people lack the ability; it's that governments don't include it in their curricula. Just think about how much money would be lost if people started thinking critically. It would reduce bad spending habits and poor choices-not exactly profitable for governments or institutions. People are being kept uninformed on purpose. But yes, people can also be lazy; they often don’t want to educate themselves. Welcome to hell.
A cult deprogrammer said something interesting the other day in a video: "I don't like the term 'critical thinking'... I prefer 'reality testing'. Are these thoughts and feelings congruent with what us happening right now?"... I found that interesting.

Very DEEP Video. 🤯 I Agree On Challenging Your Beliefs & Habits To Shape The New Reality You Are Currently Creating For Yourself. It's A Lonely Grind, But The Grind Must Continue. 🔥
Great insights! 📚✨ It’s all about being CURIOUS, embracing challenges, and committing to lifelong LEARNING. Remember, the journey to enhanced INTELLIGENCE starts with a GROWTH mindset. Keep pushing those boundaries! 🚀
About people unconsciously planning for failure. I feel like people most often don’t do that but rather are okay with failing because their goal was to simply learn something new. Sometimes “that they indeed are not made for this challenge”. In other words if the goal was to succeed depends on what the person wanted to get out of it
If someone's goal was to learn something new and they do learn it, they didn't fail. He's talking about people that want to do something, but want to fail because they label themselves as failures so they need to fail again to keep up that image.
Unpopular opinion: quality social science education is just as vital as STEM education and helps one skip through a lot of these early, swiftly and quite naturally. Fluency develops at an early age for critical thinking and contextualizing different modes of thought, assumptions and operational matrices, while one develops a personal craft (usually perceived as something confusing, strange or unintelligible by more conventional others and specialized authority figures) of working within, outside and across different frameworks.
I grew up around Cherokee nation elder. I've witnessed what you're saying my entire life. Noticed that I was different before kindergarten and later realized to a large degree it was actually lack of social constraints.
Dan Koe hits the nail. Synthesizing psycho-cybernetics with ego development theory as a modern value creation teacher is a bold example of what he means by "become a deep generalist." What he's sharing here gives clarity to issues with various "spiritual" teachings that end up being ineffective ideologies: ego bashing that becomes its own ego trip! Anyways, I loved this one. Thanks Dan.
Ego bashing that becomes its own ego trip?! I'm not totally clear on the definition of Irony because of that Alanis Morrisette song, but this might be particularly rich. 🤤
I’ve reached the unitive stage via hardship and a deep commitment to discovery and the hardest and final stage was accepting the beauty of everyone being at different stages. Seeing it as the masterpiece of the unified intelligence creating a dualistic reality. It’s a peaceful place to be. My NDE has a lot to do with my journey as well. Thanks for breaking it down so masterfully.
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Charlotte Grace Miller.
I'm surprised that you just mentioned and recommended Charlotte Miller, I met her at a conference in 2018 and we have been working together ever since.
She is my family's personal broker and also a personal broker in many families I'm United States, she's a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in United states
I just withdrew my profits a week ago, To be honest it was an amazing feeling when the profits hits my wallet I wish I could reinvest but, too much bills
I have to say, while discussing stages of consciousness and ego development is interesting, it's fundamentally misguided to think that reaching the highest states can be achieved through thinking alone. Many of the so-called "enlightened" people didn't get there by analyzing or following a linear path; they connected with source through real experiences like meditation and presence. Relying on these intellectual models is actually a trap that keeps people stuck. The truth is, the mind can be a barrier to true consciousness. You can’t think your way to enlightenment-it's about transcending thought altogether. So let's stop pretending that understanding a hierarchy will lead to awakening. It’s time to recognize that genuine spiritual growth comes from deep, experiential practices, not just intellectual chatter.
Just finished Susanne R. Cook-Greuter’s book on Ego Development that you have suggested, and that you have been beautifully elaborating on. Looking forward to more vertical expansion, and linking the dots between Spiral Dynamics and AQAL 😉 All of this is Mind opening, and extremely helpful. Thank you 🙏🏼🌺
Till know I haven’t watched a single video of this guy that hasn’t changed my pov on something his content is truly life changing but doesn’t get higher amount of likes because he doesn’t give out easy or cheap tricks my best regard to you Dan ❤
I’m blown away Dan. Inspired, feel kindred and Appreciate your brain and willingness to explore in the way you do. Keep keeping. Has to be my favorite video to date
I’ve just decided I’m going to finally focus on how to develop my fuller self in wealth/foundation stabilization. And I can only do that by narrowing considerably what I pay attention to. I’m setting up a playlist to dive deeper into Dan Koes video and take intentional notes. I’m convinced now his way of approaching the “game of life” is a great part of my own vision of becoming FREE. Time to begin in earnest. May I join the tribe of others who are also doing this for themselves and their loved ones. 🙏🏽
I'm not sure if I'm correct, but I think that what the whole point of the video is talking about is that intelligence is just more than problem solving and learning. I think that it also encompasses your perception of reality. It's about expanding your perspective of things to be able to better process information around you. I actually thought of improving my intelligence by improving the way I use my cognition (attention, learning, reasoning, perception and memory). I understand now that you're covering this because some people think it's just about reasoning, memory and problem solving. Thank you for expanding on the perception aspect. I have a more nuanced understanding of it now.
I think you're right, and I also think he is saying that intelligence includes being able to see things from outside of our physical selves, some would call it from spirit, or intuition maybe, or from the collective subconscious or through our connection with our higher self or with God maybe. When we see through this intelligence we care for all of life, not just our own
Deep and insightful video. I don't really feel the need to reach those later stages especially since you say high achievements can occur without them. But it's nice to know they're there.
Intelligence implies inherent, unchangeable nature. All things in life are problem solving, which is not static. It can improve, and there are frameworks for it. Like the Collaborative complex problem-solving framework😊
Creating wealth entails establishing positive routines, such as consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for sound investments. Financial management is a vital subject that many avoid, often leading to future regrets. I wish everyone reading this the best of luck in achieving success!
You're so right, Investing in bitcoin now is the best thing to do especially with the current rise in the market people are really making a lot of money from it... therefore investing in it wouldn't be a bad idea 💡
Personally i think the best way to keep progressing is to continue to question your own beliefs and assumptions. All of your fundamental truths should be continually questioned. If it is currently still true then it can withstand the questions. If it can't withstand the questions then it isn't true. Critical to always monitor yourself as much as possible for confirmation bias. It can poison any journey of progression
Money is a measure of achievement that our world uses, it will start changing soon as money doesn't mean much except to the ego.

It's not about making money, it's about getting what you want out of life, and usually it involves money to some extent. If you're intelligent enough you can self assign goals, take action and learn from feedback. If that goal involves making money and you succeed at that. It's a proof of your intelligence.
35:50 Higher stages do not only understand their own lower stages. Different higher stages from unique realms do understand each other better too, because they have always more in common than the lower stages of different realms.
Here is some criticism. I feel like the approach that you are suggesting for intelligence is a bit self destructive if it requires an identity that cannot exist without productivity. It is cultivating a recipe for burnout and may pollute restful times with feelings of guilt about not being productive. I know this because I am a high performer and cybernetics really wont do much for you if you dont feel well. Tanking the discomfort only works up to a point, eventually your body itself is going to recoil, regardless of what you think. Your suggestions are good if and only if the person is consistently enjoying the process of doing whatever it is theyre doing, because goal based approaches are going to generate issues with self esteem when those goals are not achieved. Realistically, not everyone achieves all of their goals. Talk about smaller things if you want to play with this expectation-reward motivation style, instead of massive goals that humans have a tendency to fail at. You also forget several important aspects that govern the life of many individuals - deadlines, money and external life events that may make your approach unsustainable long term, and hinder the completion of goals, resulting in a downward spiral for the weaker-willed.
Setting a goal that is unattainable in the long term, such as increasing one's bodily height, may be a marker of lack of intelligence. - Knee high Accept me high.
ngl ur presentation comes out for me as if you are gonna say some epic brain hack routine guide to inteligence / success (i literally clicked on the video because the premise in the title + thumbnail where really funny) but from the first quote i realized that i was probably wrong and i've been watching the first 10 minutes for like 20 cuz you perfecly explain some concepts i was thinking about just today ("pursuit of shallowness") in a really good (if a bit coversome for my not 1% brain) way, if i get nothing else this first 10 minutes are really good. edit: 33:54 i got played
This video is very deep on spirituality and I'm glad I can grasp what you are talking about. We're spiritual beings, fregments from the infinite source but we take this physical world way too seriously and forgot we have infinite creativity and power to create the reality we desire. All we need to do is go inward and discover ourselves. Uninstall all the limiting beliefs we've been forced to take on and steer ourselves to life that we truly want. Thanks Dan, you're my inspirations as always.
2:48 Telling the viewer to go get our “Cheep dopamine hits somewhere else” reminds me of the time that a Toyota dealer told me I needed to go shop at Isuzu because I wasn’t wanting to spend enough money along with my Toyota truck trade-in. I ended up buying my next four vehicles from Isuzu. I often wondered how “intelligent” was it of that car dealer to send me to the competition down the street. Seemed to me that Toyota dealer got their “cheap dopamine hits” with sarcasm. Ciao
Was just talking to my daughter about Peterson. It was my theory that Peterson is using his current direction to draw people towards challenging of prior beliefs
While listening to this video, much of the philosophy discussed here reminded me of Sorelle Amore and her human psyche evolution. I don’t always understand her in a literal sense, but she often gives my intuition something to think about. and her content is pretty fun to watch.
Camera zooming-in and intelligence analogy. I think that the aperture reference (relative to possible shutter/film speed) refers to depth of field and precise focus between the fore and background.
like the computer neural networks used in AI the brain works similarly, that is pattern recognition. that’s the subconscious. then there is a deep thinking and analysing your own thoughts as a level up architecture
I went into a period where I rejected religion for the first time, at the age of 20 and started questioning reality. When I left religion and my beliefs about it, it felt like I have lost all my "powers" that I chained myself to. Throughout some months of reading about religions and thinking I came to the conclusion that the purpose of every religion is to help you become the best version of yourself, to unlock your full potential, be it prayers that increase faith, ultimately the trust in the future and your success or some higher being that holds your back. The common denominator is to help you function at full capacity. I struggled to find a way to replace religion in order to function at full capacity, as I became dependent on it for so many years. You just have to trust in yourself and build slowly.
All religions are traps to make you belive God is outside of you and you need to worship an external source above you. They don't want to tell you the truth that you're a powerful spiritual being from the source and you can create whatever you want.
@@jjchen249 You made a mistake Brother, Bible says John 14:17 (NIV) "...But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you." So God is not outside of us, He loves us so much that He died on the cross for us! #Christislord
@@gowtham0738Bible is a 2000 year old fairy tale book. Yet ... some saints led interesting lives and can serve as role models. Read some good books about philosophy. André Comte-Sponville has a good book about being a "spirituel atheist"
@@gowtham0738No he didnt. He’s left the world of belief behind in order to find the actual truth. The bible is mostly allegorical. Dont limit your experience to beliving stories told to you by others. Go see for yourself.
Most of these stages you can pass through just by being philosophical. I have passed through all of these and you get nothing for it at the end in the sense of "being better" at accomplishing goals, or creating good goals for the matter. I know many people who are at the lower stages but are better at achieving goals than me.
I resonate with the post conventional path , and yeah at 42:56 what you said makes sense as i have experienced quite a bit ,thanks Dan for decoding this subject 👏
this interpretation of value is easy to understand, but short-sighted. some peoples goals are the emotional security of not having to change, etc. there are tons of reasons, basic value mechanics that indicate that people have other goals than those they state... even to themselves.
not only low of inteligence, but also childhood traumas, the belief you are not capable, you are not good enough. That's something I heard a lot when I was kid, and even though I understand that's not real, but inner child believes it, hence I usually give up doing something because I don't believe in myself
I recommend reading a book about Self talk. Using the right way of communication with yourself allows you to reprogram your mind and remove old obsolete beliefs. I wish you well
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my whole life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear that you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small Investment, thank you Jihan Wu you're such a life saver

@8:00 To your point about goals and the journey. "Life is a journey, not a destination" What typically happens to the goal once you reach it? Checkmark, next goal! The western mind lives too much in the future and the past, whereas everything happens in the now. If you don't learn to be present and content in the now, then nothing you accomplish will be anything more than a checkmark. Though this is not to say that one shouldn't plan ahead and act, there is a balance and it depends on where you are in life. I would say that meaning is what is important, and often we gain meaning by acting towards are goals.
idk if you will read this, it felt extremely uncanny watching this. I have experienced and operated on all of the stages you mentioned. Yet, I don't have any command on staying in any one of them. It's like I have the apparatus to change my focus, yet I don't have the control over the amount of focus being used at any given time. I have reached the place where I consider whether it is necessary for me to intervene or if I am just going to hamper someone's developmental process as a human being. I am aware of the actions that will help someone in the short term and the ones that are imperative for them to reach a level of ability where help wouldn't be a requirement anymore. But, it's like sand, the more you try to grasp it, the less you have in your hand.
In a single sentence if I could summarize this video would be - intelligence is just increasing degree of deliberate actions. To elaborate, it first starts with physical actions. Then deliberate thoughts. Then deliberate attempt to understand why those actions and thoughts. And so forth.
Ye man some of us tend to be like that, we have to listen to something more that 5 times but we need to if we want to receive all information, i struggle with it and its mostly a concentration thing. Its basically training(for me at least maybe we're not the same)
Why didn't I discover this instead of drugs in my late teens. I was looking for a way to "expand my mind" but addiction in a crucial part of life hurt, even though I've been free from it for a decade now. I'm not even in the same wagon trail as "MIT crowd" but I feel like that's where I was suppose to be. These videos help show me where my perspective was flawed and why my apathy is set hard. I love a good painful change though. Here we go.
I have failed 100 times and yet I have never failed at all.
Now, at the age of 40, I can see that every single step was the foundation of my personal development.
I have learned from everything and my countless attempts, experiments and explorations have driven me through various stages of development. Thank you for providing this profound overview here. I am at peace now.

Anyways, I loved this one. Thanks Dan.
Ego bashing that becomes its own ego trip?! I'm not totally clear on the definition of Irony because of that Alanis Morrisette song, but this might be particularly rich. 🤤
The deepest nuance of the general ❤
I’ve reached the unitive stage via hardship and a deep commitment to discovery and the hardest and final stage was accepting the beauty of everyone being at different stages. Seeing it as the masterpiece of the unified intelligence creating a dualistic reality. It’s a peaceful place to be. My NDE has a lot to do with my journey as well. Thanks for breaking it down so masterfully.
I learned a great deal. I absorbed as much as I could and will reference back to this video. You speak like a Senior Software Engineer.
Every time i feel depressed , I heard the message from you❤❤🎉🎉.
Thank you dan for everything 🙏🙏
Dan koe is the only real self-improvement channel in the internet
I would add Moderno Wisdom by Chris Williamson
Yeah his channel is amazing@@flowwolf4
Ok buddy
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Charlotte Grace Miller.
I'm surprised that you just mentioned and recommended Charlotte Miller, I met her at a conference in 2018 and we have been working together ever since.
She is my family's personal broker and also a personal broker in many families I'm United States, she's a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in United states
The very first time we tried, we invested $1400 and after a week, we received $5230. That really helped us a lot to pay up our bills.
I'm new at this, please how can I reach her?
I just withdrew my profits a week ago, To be honest it was an amazing feeling when the profits hits my wallet I wish I could reinvest but, too much bills
I have to say, while discussing stages of consciousness and ego development is interesting, it's fundamentally misguided to think that reaching the highest states can be achieved through thinking alone. Many of the so-called "enlightened" people didn't get there by analyzing or following a linear path; they connected with source through real experiences like meditation and presence.
Relying on these intellectual models is actually a trap that keeps people stuck. The truth is, the mind can be a barrier to true consciousness. You can’t think your way to enlightenment-it's about transcending thought altogether. So let's stop pretending that understanding a hierarchy will lead to awakening. It’s time to recognize that genuine spiritual growth comes from deep, experiential practices, not just intellectual chatter.
Problem is, you only understand this once you reach that stage.
You have nicely explained just one barrier, in a complex process.
To support the claim, can you recommend other videos?
Finally I found someone that speaks the language I understand
Thank u so much for this video ❤❤
I've been fascinated by utilising systems theory and cybernetics for self help. Dan is nailing it
Just finished Susanne R. Cook-Greuter’s book on Ego Development that you have suggested, and that you have been beautifully elaborating on. Looking forward to more vertical expansion, and linking the dots between Spiral Dynamics and AQAL 😉
All of this is Mind opening, and extremely helpful.
Thank you 🙏🏼🌺
Till know I haven’t watched a single video of this guy that hasn’t changed my pov on something his content is truly life changing but doesn’t get higher amount of likes because he doesn’t give out easy or cheap tricks my best regard to you Dan ❤
I’m blown away Dan. Inspired, feel kindred and Appreciate your brain and willingness to explore in the way you do. Keep keeping. Has to be my favorite video to date
I’ve just decided I’m going to finally focus on how to develop my fuller self in wealth/foundation stabilization. And I can only do that by narrowing considerably what I pay attention to.
I’m setting up a playlist to dive deeper into Dan Koes video and take intentional notes. I’m convinced now his way of approaching the “game of life” is a great part of my own vision of becoming FREE.
Time to begin in earnest. May I join the tribe of others who are also doing this for themselves and their loved ones. 🙏🏽
Dan, you’re doing incredible work.
So much good info packed into one video. And so well delivered. You the man sir 🙌
I'm not sure if I'm correct, but I think that what the whole point of the video is talking about is that intelligence is just more than problem solving and learning. I think that it also encompasses your perception of reality. It's about expanding your perspective of things to be able to better process information around you. I actually thought of improving my intelligence by improving the way I use my cognition (attention, learning, reasoning, perception and memory). I understand now that you're covering this because some people think it's just about reasoning, memory and problem solving. Thank you for expanding on the perception aspect. I have a more nuanced understanding of it now.
I think you're right, and I also think he is saying that intelligence includes being able to see things from outside of our physical selves, some would call it from spirit, or intuition maybe, or from the collective subconscious or through our connection with our higher self or with God maybe. When we see through this intelligence we care for all of life, not just our own
This is an incredible video, as are Dan's previous videos. I have recommended this channel to people I have known for the past two years.
Deep and insightful video. I don't really feel the need to reach those later stages especially since you say high achievements can occur without them. But it's nice to know they're there.
Dan, I absolutely love love love your videos. Thank you for all you do. I’m so glad your goals include sharing your vision and wisdom with us:) ❤
One can't increase their intelligence. However, one can master patterns of information such that they SEEM more intelligent.
Intelligence implies inherent, unchangeable nature. All things in life are problem solving, which is not static. It can improve, and there are frameworks for it. Like the Collaborative complex problem-solving framework😊
I love how you always keep us focused on the goal!
For real
One of the best creators on TH-cam, keep them coming Dan!

You're right
But I didn't know why people remain poor due to ignorance
You're so right, Investing in bitcoin now is the best thing to do especially with the current rise in the market
people are really making a lot of money from it...
therefore investing in it wouldn't be a bad idea 💡
speaking of crypto trading I know I am blessed if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as expert Caitlin albrecht
The very first time i tried, i invested $6000 and after a week, i received $57000. That really helps me a lot to pay up bills
Personally i think the best way to keep progressing is to continue to question your own beliefs and assumptions. All of your fundamental truths should be continually questioned. If it is currently still true then it can withstand the questions. If it can't withstand the questions then it isn't true. Critical to always monitor yourself as much as possible for confirmation bias. It can poison any journey of progression
It saddesnt me how quickly money enters every discussion about intelligence. But i guess thats where we are 😅
Grow up... it TAKES MONEY to live free of labor, so one can use the mind, have time for free thinking and accomplishments. Get real.
@@cliffdariff74 do you have money?
I agree. It's dumb to reduce the meaning of life to money... But Idiocracy is catching up.
Money is a measure of achievement that our world uses, it will start changing soon as money doesn't mean much except to the ego.
It's not about making money, it's about getting what you want out of life, and usually it involves money to some extent. If you're intelligent enough you can self assign goals, take action and learn from feedback. If that goal involves making money and you succeed at that. It's a proof of your intelligence.
35:50 Higher stages do not only understand their own lower stages. Different higher stages from unique realms do understand each other better too, because they have always more in common than the lower stages of different realms.
-"Humans are extremely bad at predicting exponential growth"... proceeds understimate exponential growth
Here is some criticism.
I feel like the approach that you are suggesting for intelligence is a bit self destructive if it requires an identity that cannot exist without productivity. It is cultivating a recipe for burnout and may pollute restful times with feelings of guilt about not being productive. I know this because I am a high performer and cybernetics really wont do much for you if you dont feel well. Tanking the discomfort only works up to a point, eventually your body itself is going to recoil, regardless of what you think. Your suggestions are good if and only if the person is consistently enjoying the process of doing whatever it is theyre doing, because goal based approaches are going to generate issues with self esteem when those goals are not achieved. Realistically, not everyone achieves all of their goals. Talk about smaller things if you want to play with this expectation-reward motivation style, instead of massive goals that humans have a tendency to fail at. You also forget several important aspects that govern the life of many individuals - deadlines, money and external life events that may make your approach unsustainable long term, and hinder the completion of goals, resulting in a downward spiral for the weaker-willed.
Intelligence is in the core of everything. Through us, intelligence can be aware and understand itself.
I would like to see your tier list soon, Dan
Setting a goal that is unattainable in the long term, such as increasing one's bodily height, may be a marker of lack of intelligence.

One of the more important videos you have ever made.
My friend! Your work is much appreciated.
“You haven’t tooken the step that reveals the next step …” said Dan
ngl ur presentation comes out for me as if you are gonna say some epic brain hack routine guide to inteligence / success (i literally clicked on the video because the premise in the title + thumbnail where really funny) but from the first quote i realized that i was probably wrong and i've been watching the first 10 minutes for like 20 cuz you perfecly explain some concepts i was thinking about just today ("pursuit of shallowness") in a really good (if a bit coversome for my not 1% brain) way, if i get nothing else this first 10 minutes are really good.
edit: 33:54 i got played
This video is very deep on spirituality and I'm glad I can grasp what you are talking about.
We're spiritual beings, fregments from the infinite source but we take this physical world way too seriously and forgot we have infinite creativity and power to create the reality we desire.
All we need to do is go inward and discover ourselves. Uninstall all the limiting beliefs we've been forced to take on and steer ourselves to life that we truly want.
Thanks Dan, you're my inspirations as always.
Awesome video, Dan.
2:48 Telling the viewer to go get our “Cheep dopamine hits somewhere else” reminds me of the time that a Toyota dealer told me I needed to go shop at Isuzu because I wasn’t wanting to spend enough money along with my Toyota truck trade-in.
I ended up buying my next four vehicles from Isuzu. I often wondered how “intelligent” was it of that car dealer to send me to the competition down the street.
Seemed to me that Toyota dealer got their “cheap dopamine hits” with sarcasm.
Ciao
Love this concept, 48 min of gold❤
Success is a decision.
Measures of outcome are results of the decision and follow through.
happiness is the height from which you observe the dividends of all your suffering.

Was just talking to my daughter about Peterson. It was my theory that Peterson is using his current direction to draw people towards challenging of prior beliefs
While listening to this video, much of the philosophy discussed here reminded me of Sorelle Amore and her human psyche evolution. I don’t always understand her in a literal sense, but she often gives my intuition something to think about. and her content is pretty fun to watch.
Attachment to goals lead to a perpetual cycle of misery , Gotta learn to be detached as well.
Camera zooming-in and intelligence analogy. I think that the aperture reference (relative to possible shutter/film speed) refers to depth of field and precise focus between the fore and background.
Intelligence is the ability to detect pattern....make visual abstraction of static structure and dynamic structure....
like the computer neural networks used in AI the brain works similarly, that is pattern recognition. that’s the subconscious. then there is a deep thinking and analysing your own thoughts as a level up architecture
I went into a period where I rejected religion for the first time, at the age of 20 and started questioning reality. When I left religion and my beliefs about it, it felt like I have lost all my "powers" that I chained myself to. Throughout some months of reading about religions and thinking I came to the conclusion that the purpose of every religion is to help you become the best version of yourself, to unlock your full potential, be it prayers that increase faith, ultimately the trust in the future and your success or some higher being that holds your back. The common denominator is to help you function at full capacity. I struggled to find a way to replace religion in order to function at full capacity, as I became dependent on it for so many years. You just have to trust in yourself and build slowly.
All religions are traps to make you belive God is outside of you and you need to worship an external source above you.
They don't want to tell you the truth that you're a powerful spiritual being from the source and you can create whatever you want.
I believe in a higher power (it’s everywhere)and I ask it for help but I also know I have to do my part.
@@jjchen249 You made a mistake Brother, Bible says
John 14:17 (NIV)
"...But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you."
So God is not outside of us, He loves us so much that He died on the cross for us! #Christislord
@@gowtham0738Bible is a 2000 year old fairy tale book. Yet ... some saints led interesting lives and can serve as role models. Read some good books about philosophy. André Comte-Sponville has a good book about being a "spirituel atheist"
@@gowtham0738No he didnt. He’s left the world of belief behind in order to find the actual truth. The bible is mostly allegorical. Dont limit your experience to beliving stories told to you by others. Go see for yourself.
Most of these stages you can pass through just by being philosophical. I have passed through all of these and you get nothing for it at the end in the sense of "being better" at accomplishing goals, or creating good goals for the matter. I know many people who are at the lower stages but are better at achieving goals than me.
I resonate with the post conventional path , and yeah at 42:56 what you said makes sense as i have experienced quite a bit ,thanks Dan for decoding this subject 👏
Thankyou for saying 'Be all, End all' in that order. Usually Americans say it the other way round for some bizarre reason
The beginning of Spirituality is 1st connecting with oneself
this interpretation of value is easy to understand, but short-sighted. some peoples goals are the emotional security of not having to change, etc. there are tons of reasons, basic value mechanics that indicate that people have other goals than those they state... even to themselves.
Wonderful content thanks for sharing!
They all say 'we've put the link in the bio', but there's never a link! But relevant video any day, thanks.
not only low of inteligence, but also childhood traumas, the belief you are not capable, you are not good enough. That's something I heard a lot when I was kid, and even though I understand that's not real, but inner child believes it, hence I usually give up doing something because I don't believe in myself
I recommend reading a book about Self talk. Using the right way of communication with yourself allows you to reprogram your mind and remove old obsolete beliefs. I wish you well
oh freaking amazing, thank you so much. you are guiding me back to my path
Hit 240k today. Appreciate you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started with 24k in August 2024
I would really love to know how much work you did put in to get to this stage

As a beginner in this, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable.
Jihan Wu is also my trade analyst, he has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessments, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns.
I'm favoured, $90K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America,, all thanks to Mr Jihan Wu😊🎉
Waking up every 10th of each month to £210,000 it’s a blessing to I and my family… Big gratitude to this same Jihan Wu🙌

Hi Dan, very useful video thanks. I couldn't find the PDF attached you had mentioned.
@8:00 To your point about goals and the journey. "Life is a journey, not a destination" What typically happens to the goal once you reach it? Checkmark, next goal! The western mind lives too much in the future and the past, whereas everything happens in the now. If you don't learn to be present and content in the now, then nothing you accomplish will be anything more than a checkmark. Though this is not to say that one shouldn't plan ahead and act, there is a balance and it depends on where you are in life. I would say that meaning is what is important, and often we gain meaning by acting towards are goals.
Very interesting ideas in this video overall, thank you.
Wow! What a powerhouse of information this video is.
idk if you will read this, it felt extremely uncanny watching this. I have experienced and operated on all of the stages you mentioned. Yet, I don't have any command on staying in any one of them. It's like I have the apparatus to change my focus, yet I don't have the control over the amount of focus being used at any given time. I have reached the place where I consider whether it is necessary for me to intervene or if I am just going to hamper someone's developmental process as a human being. I am aware of the actions that will help someone in the short term and the ones that are imperative for them to reach a level of ability where help wouldn't be a requirement anymore. But, it's like sand, the more you try to grasp it, the less you have in your hand.
In a single sentence if I could summarize this video would be - intelligence is just increasing degree of deliberate actions.
To elaborate, it first starts with physical actions. Then deliberate thoughts. Then deliberate attempt to understand why those actions and thoughts. And so forth.
Like that "bible thumper" and "loop back" expression. Thank you for the learning is as always for a life time, Dan. Cheers!
Loved quite alot of it. Never heard TOOKEN used in a sentence before so that was a first...
Wow. I noticed that too.
It’s kinda crazy how nobody wants to get out of the rabbit hole and read the book Whispers of Manifestation on Borlest
Poor marketing 😂.
That was an incredible video, good work
Give it up for Dan Koe
I watched the whole video. I understood maybe 2% of it but it sounds like it would be helpful, 10/10 will listen again
Ye man some of us tend to be like that, we have to listen to something more that 5 times but we need to if we want to receive all information, i struggle with it and its mostly a concentration thing. Its basically training(for me at least maybe we're not the same)
ADHD?
Yes!! Do a Philosopher Tier List!! 😂🔥
Dan's vids are 30-50 mins and there is literally not a single word that is filler in any of them
Thank you, Dan. This really is something buddy.
34:34 "Tickle your peach" has now entered my vocabulary lol.
He said “quote-unquote” ! He also said “a trait like intelligence.” Intelligence is not a trait. Intelligence contains traits.
Awesome lecture - much thank Dan.
Why didn't I discover this instead of drugs in my late teens. I was looking for a way to "expand my mind" but addiction in a crucial part of life hurt, even though I've been free from it for a decade now. I'm not even in the same wagon trail as "MIT crowd" but I feel like that's where I was suppose to be. These videos help show me where my perspective was flawed and why my apathy is set hard. I love a good painful change though. Here we go.
First time i heard of you. Beautiful and insightful. Many thanks
Intelligence is the peak of hard work.
This is a really good video. Thank you
