I'm watching all of the friends I grew up with who had so much personality in their youth become depressed with low self esteem, being killed slowly physically, spiritually & psychologically by our toxic culture. Everyone acts like this is normal, it's not.
I've been saying the same thing and feels like I'm alone and everyone thinks this is all normal. I'm more freaked out living in a black mirror episode than finding out I'm the one insane and our western culture isn't the problem. But it really is. Everyone is diluted and warm. Not cold or hot. Jesus will spit the warm out. They're doing all this on purpose media Soros Rothschild Rockefeller black rock. They want us weak insane and deed
Yep. It's a strange new world! Basically what it is is people condense into more extreme versions of themselves. They get narrowed down from so many factors to exist in a smaller and smaller space that basically people emplode. Who they are is cut off and restricted so much that portions of who people are turn on them and kill them slowly. While young we had many opportunities and possibilities. As we age in this culture we artificially as well as naturally get on smaller and smaller paths. Until we are so far down one of them and so disconnected to anything else we begin to love our jailer. And find reasons why it's even a good thing you are being destroyed and hampered. Personally I am sure I look childish because I do random things and really don't care what happens beyond maybe a few months in the future. I'll quite a job out of nowhere and get another job in a completely different field. Then maybe quit that one and decide to not work and be a hermit for a year. Maybe get addicted to a drug. Then spend the time in agony forcing myself to kick the addiction by myself... I may go dumpster diving or pick up hitch hikers and take them waaay out of my way. I stop and pet cats and feed birds... I try to LIVE
Its been happening to me, and yes i feel you. We are DEEP into this. :*(
Yup the young lads I see coming up now won’t archive or attempt any work it’s all about bare minimum there is no blood and sweat it’s only the tears with the new breed.
@@ron1836 Great insight.
It's getting hard for me navigating through this western society. No communities, no honesty, no creativity, no modesty. Just vanity, politics, sterile uniformity. It makes me feel isolated.
Same, I think almost everyone feels like this in some way. Everyone is going insane.
@@zarahchristensen1147 the difference is we can admit it but most lie to themselves and use consumerism to mask the problem.
Here in lies the key issue which has not been duly considered by MANY of the community who set up the values of strength and life in our day and age in a proto-nietzschean attempt - humanity is comprised of individuals who have a hunger and thirst for something beyond animalistic brutality, and in having cultivated itself humanity has grown an appetite for sustenance that is beyond food and drink, and that is beyond the body. It is also noteworthy that lions as a general rule do not eat each other - only gazelles and other prey. True wisdom would point to the fact that life affirming systems of livelihood are not necessarily contradictory towards those who have a system of values which facilitates the capability of humanity partaking in a community that is comprised of individuals who strengthen and enable one another - it is not normal for all lions to walk through life alone - those who rule do, but the pride is comprised of many, and what has been lost in our day and age is a veracity amongst genuine souls who, like lions, build communities and strengthen their members by promoting vitality and sustenance of the body AND the soul. The DEATH cult of false religiosity that is promulgated with fervent intensity by many older generations through churches and old political systems needs to be fought with tooth and nail by those who have been crucified and relegated to the sideline of history as if they are a bygone note, and need to band together with a common zeal and interest in the promotion of a true system of dialogue and community which would overthrow the haughty and contemptuous 'elitists' who have been milking this government for all its worth just to piss on the common people without even the courtesy of calling it rain. True strength and vitality manifests through struggle and contradiction, not just through the development of a god-like physique. If we are going to make it our business to philosophize with a hammer and to break down idols, let us not spare our idols which we paint and cover with Nietzschean dialogue, but rather smash them all in order to free ourselves from the indentured servitude which we have as a collective lived within for aeons.
Understandable but we should focus on overcoming it not self pitty
@@oreocarlton3343 indeed
Weakness creates better consumers, better voters, better slaves. Strength is the complete opposite. All the things that make us strong make us poor consumers, difficult voters, and terrible slaves.
they want to ban meat too, ffs.
False : the Romans made sure their galleys were rowed by Spartans. In case of capture by pirates the latter would fight and destroy them. Slaves wouldn't and couldn't.
I would add that dysfunction creates more markets for government.
The more dysfunctional society is, the more opportunity government sees to grow government but not improve peoples lives.
You get to attempt to create the life you want to live. That is the essence of Nietzsche.
Life is only as meaningful as you make it.
@@martinrea8548 In the context of climate change this isn't unreasonable. Though when shit really hits the fan, there will only be enough resources for a few, so veganism is more of a utopian ideal.
@@MrMirville I imagine the Romans weren't so decayed at that point 😂
"You have to believe you deserve to exist" very powerful
It gets easier, if you tell yourself that you deserve it just as much as any other being.
NO ONE ever asked to be born! The only thing you deserve is what you earn.
But it it actually true? Just because you say it, doesn’t make it so.
A good way to believe you deserve to exist is to know the truth that you don’t exist.

So well done. I realized this 3 years ago and my husband and I put together a plan to get ourselves and our son out of Canada. This mindset is everywhere but Canada is on a terrifying expedited death spiral. Realizing my right to exist is exactly what removed the shackles and lit a fire in my heart. Thank you for this.
I hope you made it out! I used to visit Canada but no more; they have labeled me a terrorist. Truly bizarre.
But where do you go to, just curious?? I think there are good arguments to stay in place wherever that is and build from there.
@404errorpagenotfound We would have, but we lost our oldest son to fentanyl the year prior and felt like leaving was the best thing to do. There’s very little left for us in Canada, it felt hopeless. We moved to Florida where we continue to mend our broken hearts and find new reasons to go forward.
@@littlebird3495hope things improve, good luck in your new home, don't let Florida become what you left behind. Support Desantis.
Thank you, and of course. He’s the reason we choose this place. Most people who’ve moved here during the last few years understand who it is that has made Florida what it is right now.
It’s very hard to convince people of the value of suffering in a time of decadence, but it’s where all the value is.
The trouble is won a long time ago. There’s no more race. We instinctively want to give it up to someone else. We won already, and most of us just don’t know it.
Growth requires struggling. Nothing big happens in easy mode
Absolutely. And the struggle and mental overcoming of the big deleterious “why me” question is healthy, normal, and unfortunately easy to exploit by nefarious elites.
in a time of instant gratification/ entitlement
Suffering itself has zero value.
In our comfortable world today, suffering is viewed as the unnecessary sin. In more traditional societies, suffering wasn't viewed in such a way, they seen it as something to make you stronger and to prepare you, for doing great things. Facing resistance builds character, but also reveals it. Great work again, Mr. Boyo!!
if we had a culture where individuals can build meaning from their suffering and overcome and create new values? sure 'let it be done, i quite like it sometimes, makes me feel alive' yadi yadi yada... however, suffering created from a culture that praises unintelligence such as today's? get me the fk out of here thanx
It might sound stupid but imo you have to have an individualist space with a "fascist" culture, the only reason why social liberalism won is because capitalism appeals to the lowest common denominator en mass resulting in the neo lib materialism culture of today.
Nietzsche did not mean a glorification of suffering for its own sake. Suffering that makes you stronger is good according to him.
In every culture suffering is not upheld in high esteem. It is hated. Don’t confuse perseverance with suffering. There would be no religion is suffering was viewed as necessary.
@@shelbyspeaks3287 capitalism does not appeal to lowest common denominator. Lowest common denominator do not innovate, grow capital, open factories, stores.
Reject Rick and morty atheism, embrace the struggle.
It amazes me how popular that show has gotten, and how easy it is for something so bleak and nihilistic to seep its way into popular culture. It really tells you what has overtaken the world at a psychical level.
You can be atheist, see the meaninglessness in existence, but still choose to create your own meaning and purpose. A lot of religious types don't seem to understand how someone can without a deity.
I’m glad I’ve never watched a single second of that show. It looked like cancer just from the drawings
Rick and Morty isn't atheist, they regularly show Rick as an actual believer who denies the divine his belief and faith in quick little bits of commentary.
Ah jeez.
I'm mexican (i'm saying that because we are not totally westerns but we are in the West World) and this evokes memories of my time delving into the realm of Political Science. During my academic pursuit, a erudite professor urged us to embark on the profound journey through 'Beyond Good and Evil.' As I absorbed the essence of your discourse, it resonated with Nietzsche's poignant elucidation-an extraordinary cautionary tale unraveling the insidious encroachment of civilization under the cloak of Christian moral values, corroding the very fabric of our existence. Today, we find ourselves at the precipice of a paradigm shift, wherein the mantle of Christianity can be substituted with the noble cause of gender equality.
Nonetheless, amidst the hallowed halls of academia, a chorus of dissenting voices-save the one who extolled Nietzsche's wisdom-decried him as a deranged, mentally afflicted soul, demanding that his oeuvre be examined through the lens of his infirmity. Yet, I steadfastly refused to succumb to their insidious narrative. Perplexed, I wondered why Nietzsche was vilified, branded as an agent of nihilism. However, just as you espoused, Nietzsche's fundamental message beckons us to actively engage with the complexities of life, to navigate the depths of our human experience.
Upon deeper reflection, it becomes apparent that those who ascribe the nihilistic label to Nietzsche bear a clandestine agenda-to obliterate his teachings from the consciousness of avid readers. Their machinations cast a chilling shadow over the intellectual landscape. Nevertheless, I persevered in my fervent exploration of his works, questioning my own fallibility and potential oversight. As the sands of time sifted through the hourglass of my existence, I arrived at a profound realization: these individuals harbor a covert motive to weaken our resolve and denigrate the intrinsic value of suffering, deeming it inherently malevolent. Yet, it is this very fallacy that gives birth to the true essence of evil.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to you for boldly articulating this profound truth, for bringing it forth into the realm of discourse, illuminating the path to enlightenment
WOW! Well said, my friend! If you are not a professional writer, you should be.
You think gender equality is noble? It is not. It is rooted in destruction.
We had a proud pagan history just like the one he describes about Rome. They key is it was OURS. Not some invading culture's. That is where our true strength lies in as much as a "Westerner" looks to Greece or Rome.
@@k1_w3benefited? Let me ask you, was Mexico/Tenochtitlan at its height during Aztec rule or Spanish. The answer is completely obvious.
@@k1_w3 you think your white supremacy nonsense is new? Hows controlling the world going now? Kinda slipping away ain't it? Your own rulers have sold you out
When the Gazelle gets away from the Lion they shake profusely to get rid of the fear. There’s an African dance that replicates this.
African morality are the peak of slave morality, really every single ethnic group that was colonized and "oppressed" has this entrenched in their culture which is why i'm surprised that this irish ginger agrees with Nietzsche
african culture truly is amazing and astonishing
Very fun dance
Absolutely brilliant work Stefan. Love how you have pulled this together. The nature denying psychosis evident in western society is such a great way to put it. Everywhere people trying to control nature and force different outcomes, loss of the harmony of yin and yang, the loss of venturing into the chaos to grow and mature.
Is that what we should call it instead of modern progressivism?
We suffer from the beliefs that these things are bad. Pain is inevitable suffering is a choice. Your fighting yourself. Your mind is the real battlefield.
“In some way, suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice.” Meaning can transform suffering. In attributing meaning to your suffering, you loosen its grip on your mind and body. - Victor Frankl
In our nature of this society, we have found our nature of the pleasure principal. We seek pleasure and avoid pain. Convenience. We want the result now with out the work. We want the easy way or seek the path with the least amount of resistance. And when we meet any adversity, we run. We quit without the rewards. The rewards is what we get in the process of attaining the result. Strength. Fortitude. And not being fragile and sensitive. We are sensitive to any suffering.
Very well said
Embrace life, its difficulties and suffering and strive for greatness. No plan better than that has ever existed
You're probably one of the first channels ever that managed to make good use of AI art, the editing doesn't make it stand out too much and almost make it look human drawn
Lets go, I actually have a warehouse full of enslaved monkeys who craft images of the ubermensch 24/7 and we pass it off as Ai

Was thinking the same thing. ...Is it ironic that the video is illustrated by AI, given the subject matter of the video...? ...I am yet to make my mind up. ...It's just another tool... or is it?!?
@@JesseP.Watson It is very ironic. Entertaining? Sure. But very, very ironic.
@@williamfagerlund158 I tend toward that conclusion. I'm an artist myself and spend untold hours perfecting graphics for use with my films... I tried using AI to generate some images a couple of months back and, after getting back a set of images after 5 minutes that would have taken me about a weeks work, I was shocked to hear a little voice in my head say: "Well now, why would you spend a week in photoshop creating a collage now when you can get one created in 5 minutes now, for free?" ...Gave me the shivers because, well, having drawn and all the rest all my life, I saw the issue there, but, had I not got 40 years refining my artistic principles and what-not... and now be capable of producing works of similar quality myself due to thousands of hours of practice, that would be an open and shut case... in other words, if I was producing the crap I made when I was 16 and I was given that option - no way I'd have developed my craft... and the only thing I'd have learned is how to construct a sentence to command AI... massive, dominant area of my artistry that goes into everything I create today erased right there. Aye, so, yes, very, very ironic.
Such a beautiful translation of his words.. Thank you for creating this.
I was a redditor for a few years and I didnt realise that it was so toxic...most subreddit was extremely depressing and toxic with trying to bring you down when you have positive outlook...2 months ago I deleted profile blocked whole website and Iam slowly feeling better and feel that life is worth living.
Out of curiosity what makes life worth living?
The ability to answer that question without posing it to anyone.
it’s not just reddit. it’s most of society. i recently realised my friend of over 20 years have spent his whole life trying to beat me down
Great video! I find that a common misunderstanding of Nietzsche, is that he argued for the promulgation of ALL values of *master morality* (as opposed to slave morality). He did not; in-fact Nietzsche had criticisms of it, and had he lived longer-- likely would have published many more criticisms. He also sang many praises of many different aspects of *slave morality*.
Nietzsche wanted us to completely perform a TRANSVALUATION. The point was never to pick one to the exclusion of the other, it was to transmute values of both into a new morality altogether.
Remember that the staunch capitalist who rules over media conglomerates-- who bribes politicians and manipulates governments, all while carelessly killing the masses and the environment-- is as much as a perpetuator of the death cult, as the pink-haired, nihilistic, redditor-slave at the bottom of the hierarchy is.
What matters isn't so much the politics, policies, protests, actions taken-- as much as the underlying psychical schemes and motives behind them.
So, in that sense... the question we should ask ourselves is: what do these people from all places of society look like, when we examine their underlying motives?... What motivates their actions? What are their attitudes towards life?
Is the protestor of violence and inequality one who is anti-natalist and hostile to life? Or are they healthy, strong, and fit-- standing proudly like a lion? Does life, courage, and tenacity exude from them with a powerful vibrancy? Do they consistently slay dragons, and destroy barriers placed before them? If they do, then you have found your 'saviors'; and you should count yourselves among them.
Similarly, is the shareholder of transnational corporations, one who manipulates and rules over nations-- who carelessly rules, and is a slave to his own vices, drunk on his own power, lustful for ordinary material things such as money, wealth and status to the exclusion of the sublime aspects of life? Does he give no consideration to every life he ends, or to every protest or revolt he squashes? Does he only care about the maintenance of his own empire of dirt, to the exclusion of the rest of all life?
Because if he does-- in my opinion-- the lions climbing the hill, are righteous in the judgement they have cast upon them. When they have seized their castle through force of strength and spirit-- when the sword of justice struck down upon them, life is renewed.
If the lions are not lions at all, but merely depressed, nihilistic, and anti-life peoples-- then their rule will simply be a new form of the same death cult. Why? They are not motivated by the redemption of life, love, the sublime, and the beauty of Being. They have merely succumbed to the worst of life-- and they are guided only by their suffering manifest as revenge. They seek revenge; not justice.
Justice is a divine sword, only truly capable of being wielded by those who fully embrace life and Being. Those who wield the worldly sword of it's likeness; wield Revenge.
Beautifully put
Bullshit. You have mixed too many qualities and quantities to drive home your own neo-Marxist "transvaluations."
@@goofyahhh254 No, it is not. It is disingenuous, par excellence. A bomb concealed within a box with pretty wrapping paper and bows is still a bomb.
Ego is the beginning of these vicious cycles you describe. Anti-natalism is not inherently anti-life. There's a whole lot more nuance to consider. The argument of the anti-natalist is that it's egotistical to bring more children into a world while there are already so many who we can't even feed In that sense, bringing more life into a world where the globalizing capitalistic machine is starving 9 million a year is the more anti-life action than having children.
If you argue that more is always better, whether it's life or money, then you're ignoring the evidence that our consciousness has enabled us to discover. This will make you more lion-like perhaps, but I would argue that's a step back.
Bottom line, the birth rates are dropping. No matter how immoral you think it is to consciously refrain from having children, evolution is talking louder than you, and it always will. If part of that evolutionary process is a time period of widespread realization that the economy and environment in general is too unstable to have children, then evolution will beat your outlook.
@@limitisillusion7 I prefer to think of these things as a spectrum/continuum; not a discrete set of conditions. Most people lay somewhere in between blindly spitting out children -- and wishing for the end of all life itself. Their reasons or lack thereof, vary widely.
Though, my use of "anti-natalism" was perhaps a poor descriptor of the category I had in mind. "Nihilists" would perhaps be a better term. I do not mean to condemn people who opt out of having children so as to avoid suffering during the oncoming 'Malthusian trap' -- yet I do still wish to call that perspective into question, and ask what the implications of it are. As you say, there is nuance.
"The argument of the anti-natalist is that it's egotistical to bring more children into a world while there are already so many who we can't even feed In that sense, bringing more life into a world where the globalizing capitalistic machine is starving 9 million a year is the more anti-life action than having children."
> Depending on the way you look at it, and the individual conditions -- it can be equally egotistical to opt out of having children. There are people, who upon reading that last sentence -- who will immediately shut their mind off and stop further questioning. Why? I find it to be another form of ego -- one which has made itself the arbiter of what is 'moral'.
However, to draw from Nietzsche -- how can you hope to fix an issue with the same morality which got you into the problem to begin with?
Simply because something is egotistical -- does not mean it is immoral. Simply because something is held as immoral, does not mean that it should be held as such. Ergo, the need for a trans-valuation of morals.
I would presume we all wish to minimize suffering, and maximize happiness and flourishing as much as possible.
Yet; have we ever stopped to ask ourselves... in a near post-scarcity world; why are people *anywhere* starving at all? I find that many people tend to think this is more of a blind side-effect of a capitalist incentive structure -- yet I would argue few things are ever unintentional on this scale. If the first-world wanted to solve world-hunger, it would. Historically, famine, plague and psychological warfare is extremely effective in war.
Today, it is not the 9 million who starve (or are at risk of starvation) -- who are not having children. It is the people within the first-world who are opting out of having children. The very same peoples who are far closer to the 'masters' -- are the same ones which have turned to escapism, nihilism, and anti-life perspectives. It's rather convenient for a certain group; wouldn't you say?
"If you argue that more is always better, whether it's life or money, then you're ignoring the evidence that our consciousness has enabled us to discover. This will make you more lion-like perhaps, but I would argue that's a step back."
> Personally, I don't argue that at all. I believe the issue with our world is almost entirely spiritual -- not material. The issue; as I see it, is a preoccupation with material things; fighting to maintain a material life -- often for material goods that you don't need.
There is an over-emphasis on the material aspects of life -- and it is perhaps one of the most central issues of our era. Why have we become so deeply sick spiritually?
In my opinion, it is largely because of the advent of the materialist ontology within the 19th century. One which began to intellectually look upon the world as an Other. We have forgotten that we are all One -- we have lost the wisdom, symbols, and knowledge of our ancestors. We no longer understand our religions and the world as it was once viewed. This too, was not unintentional.
"Bottom line, the birth rates are dropping. No matter how immoral you think it is to consciously refrain from having children, evolution is talking louder than you, and it always will. If part of that evolutionary process is a time period of widespread realization that the economy and environment in general is too unstable to have children, then evolution will beat your outlook."
> I think what you take as evolution playing its course, I take as the intentional culling of the masses; and the suppression/prevention of rebellion. Again, it is another aspect of the death-cult -- one which perpetuates the rule of the masters -- which once again condemns humanity to further cycles of (likely) increased suffering, until mankind is made into worker drones, complete with neurological implants and whatever draconian nightmare fuel which might be deemed useful/necessary to keep 'stability'.
I always suspend final judgement, but this seems to be the direction this kind of 'nihilistic' outlook leads. It plays into the hands of the death-cult itself -- because it is a part of it.
I understand the *want* to *not* raise children into that -- but surely we see how we manifest our own fate?
Your videos are a breath of fresh air. Thankyou so much.
I hope to meet a girl one day who loves me as much as Uberboyo hates Reddit.
Jokes aside, some very interesting points. I don’t necessarily agree with all of them, but you’ve left me with some points of view to play with that challenge ones I currently hold, and for that you have my appreciation.
😂
I grew up on in the 80s and 90s, and I already feel like a stranger in a strange land. I still have 40 or 50 years of life left, and I know that by end of that time, things will be truly alien to me culturally and socially.
You brought up how we live sterile lives without children, and just entertain ourselves and consume and stuff. It's sad, but true. Many people seek meaning through online communities, which is done with good intentions, but doesn't really create anything. If we didn't have so much mindless entertainment, people would probably be more likely to create children.
Childbirth rates have decreased dramatically since the invention of television ... people used to talk and play music, write and make love... now they watch the never-ending stream of consciousness that is TH-cam
I'm shocked to see you talking about this that way seriously, as an antinatalist and person whos life always were only an unbearable hell and suffering i hate you and all people like you, cursed immoral egoists, who giving birth to another conscious person into this terrible world where he should face suffering and existential agony just because he had no choice but be born just because you wanted it
What a weak argument to have children. To bring others into this world of suffering, utter fools!
That and women left the home and think they're like men
@@airscoutborneand the other way around too. Is it not, funny how life works.
I love your videos. I’ve been a student of Nietzsche for 25 years now. It started way back when I was in college studying philosophy. They didn’t teach us a thing about Nietzsche. Thankfully, I stumbled on him and other great Germans by myself.
I have time in my hands at my job. So I’ve sat here the last week listening to your videos. You are very in point with everything I’ve listened to on here. Great job, man. Keep up the good fight and keep using your incredible story telling abilities to put usefulness information out there. I’ve got a feeling that when our culture crumbles, we will need to look to people like Nietzsche.
The most invigorating force that I can summon is realizing I've been lulled back into Samsara through the 9-5, like a teenager falling in and out of sleep in the morning during summer vacation. That sudden jolt of energy and realization that screams, "Hey! Wake up and get out there," sends me into total Goblin Mode as I go hard at the gym and catch up on my writing and reading.
Only to once again fall back asleep. Oddly enough, I've found that keeping particular pagan imagery and symbolism around, like Thor's Hammer or Curnnunos, helps reduce this pattern. Finding ideas or symbols to anchor you back to your mission in life is an important part, at least for me, of pulling myself away from the death cult.
I doubt your life mission involves idolizing lesser beings but you do you. Cernnunos lol
The modern world and modern culture suffocates the spirit! Have you all noticed that continual draining of the life force of your spirit? It's a constant fight. One of the greatest battles of all time.
Well put. This hits on shit that ruminates in my head all the time...
I've found Theosophy offers a life affirming metaphysical system which works for me.
You still make some of the only videos I'll actually sit down and watch. Great stuff as usual!
Great to see you here!
"strength is inversely related to pain" 🔥🔥🔥
I feel this strongly. I believe that my potential has been utterly destroyed by the modern world.
Nietzsche the German incel 😂
🤦🤦🤦
I usually listen to such narrative pieces only once. This I purposefully went back and played it twice in a row :)
I must say your teachings are helping me more than VA therapists. 😅 hail Uberboyo!
Thank you for sharing this. Sometimes it feels like nobody is aware of reality as it is and of the cultural engeneering is been made.
It’s Like living in a world full of “Non-Playable characters”…
Great video as always,keep up the good work,thank you
There are a couple of problems here. The most important is that towards the end you put your own words in Nietzsche's mouth. It's not that obvious what Nietzsche's philosophy would practically mean for todays environment. You're serving your own interpretation of Nietzsche.
The second is: Life-Denial is an absolute misinterpretation of todays values. It's rather the opposite. Todays western values treat life like something you can max out by squeezing the last bit out of it. We want the reward to be bigger and the cost to be smaller. It's the opppsite of Life-Denial. It's the denial of sufgering and death. The denial of the cost for the reward.
On another note: The one fundamental question neglected here is: For what? Embrace life for what? Death is certain. In order to find a meaning we must question life, not blindly embrace it.
I hear a certain narrative in this video and I want to throw in a few thoughts about it:
1) Life does not need to be compared to a zero-sum game. The lion isn't eating the gazelle in order to engage in some compensatory power trip, it's not an act of cruelty (even though it looks like so to us, because we have evolved to have compassion towards animals), it's eating it because it's hungry, and its system has evolved to be a carnivore, hence it will eat a gazelle or another animal. There is a huge difference between taking action which is necessary for survival vs. taking action which is unnecessary and hurts others.
2) Empathy is written into our biological code. Wanting well-being and the minimization of unnecessary suffering for oneself and others is not "weak" or "life-denying", it is life-promoting. When a baby cries, it cries because there is some unmet need, and unmet needs are the main source of suffering. What this kind of thinking is suggesting, to analogize with the baby, is for the mother to purposely not give the baby food when it's hungry, because this "will make it stronger" - which we already know is absurd. In reality, the baby will develop best when it is regularly fed, loved and taken care of. While it's important to acknowledge that life will carry with it various challenges, humans thrive at their best and most creative capacity (including their capacity to overcome various life challenges) when they have their physical and socio-emotional needs met (think Maslow's pyramid of needs).
3) Women aren't having children not because someone is telling them that it's evil (there might be some small minority that believes this, but there is a small minority that believes a bunch of other things - we don't consider them the norm). Women aren't being told to have an abortion - they usually do this due to economic factors. In a capitalist world where extracting profit is more valued than worker's needs, time and rights, where women need to participate in a system made by men for men, and where a lot of the world has been brainwashed into the narrative of "survival of the fittest" in order to maintain the exploitative system, we ought not to scapegoat women for not having children - rather, look at the circumstances that lead to that situation (and one of the main ones is capitalism). If a woman's authentic calling is leading her elsewhere than having children, the "lion" way is to follow it. It's to be applauded that women that want to lead a certain lifestyle are aware of and acknowledge that their most wanted and authentic lifestyle is not compatible with raising a child.
4) Nobody is telling kids or making them be trans. It's like saying that normalizing homosexuality turns people gay - homosexuality being accepted in many societies doesn't mean that all people there turn gay, they are just given more freedom to explore the sexuality that they innately feel. Additionally, one of the reasons people develop gender dysphoria is because of rigid gender norms such as "women must have children and be feminine" or "men must be providers and have to be masculine". The stereotypical image of how each gender should be like plays a big role in gender dysphoria: a. obtained unconscious belief of how one "must" feel, have wants and needs, behave, based on gender/sex at birth --> feeling, wanting and needing something else which is different than the unconscious messages sent from the environment of how they should be, what they should need, how they should behave --> wanting to assign a different gender to oneself, acknowledging these discrepancies. So, the very narrative of what men and women should be like is exactly what drives gender dysphoria. Transgenderism is a normal reaction to a set of abnormal rules and expectations placed on people based on their genitalia.
5) Our happiness, beauty and power does not need to lead or stem from other's unhappiness. Our happiness as humans, to a degree, comes from making other people happy with our presence and actions. It comes from providing value to those around us. If what you are seeing around you are people which are deeply unhappy, it is much less likely that you yourself will be happy (mirror neurons).
6) People are more creative when they are in a state of well-being and happiness. We can look at this both from a reproductive point of view - people are less likely to have sex when they feel sick or when they lack sleep; or from a psychological level - sadness, fear, anxiety can lead to a decrease in creativity and creative energy. While it's true that people who suffer from mental health issues could turn to creating art in order to express their feelings, in general people are more creative from a state of well-being than from a state of pain and suffering. Taking access to opportunity, relative financial stability and a strong social support system away from people leads to the diminishing of their creativity - not the fact that they want equality.
7) One of the main reasons why there is a lack of incentive for creativity and exploring, is the profit motive. There are so many talented artists who cannot continue to create simply because they can't make a living from it. There are many psychologists who end up working to make companies more profit by extracting more from workers instead of exploring the human soul and defending human rights and well-being, simply because they cannot make a living in this way. Many areas of medicine and science in which more research is needed are not getting proper research and funding - simply because it's not profitable.
8) There is a huge difference between actual well-being and coping mechanisms. The problem isn't people wanting empathy, equality, the right of both sexes to decide how to express themselves and how to live their lives, the problem is all people being consistently gaslit by society that what we live in that everything is as it should be, and that it's "as nature intended it", as if this is the right way to do things and there's no other way to do it, when it's actually a result of being out of alignment with oneself and the rest of nature. For example - trauma is a natural response which serves a purpose in the moment, but the effects it leaves on the body and mind are not beneficial. Many substances which are toxic to us exist in nature - this doesn't make them any less toxic. The fact that some kind of societal arrangement emerged from one perspective of our nature does not mean that this is the end-all be-all most aligned state. Meanwhile, the people who are drowning themselves in constant entertainment aren't to be blamed, as they are bombarded by this from all sides, and they're trying to find a way to cope with an abnormal condition, which in itself is a natural response. Rather, we ought look at the structures which bring about and push upon society this constant meaninglessness, consumerism and pain of everyday living for the sake of making a handful of people extra profit that they don't need in reality.
9) Yes, a large portion of the capitalist west has done massive harm to the rest of the world through colonialism, and it still does it by corporate neocolonialism - extracting resources from "developing" countries. There is no need to guilt trip young people born in the west for things that they had nothing to do with, but it's important to stay informed in order to take steps in creating a change in a system which leads to the suffering of millions around the globe.
Many of these add some good nuance
It's good to point out that not all of the "death cult" is explicit and can come down to downstream effects from ideology and social institutions
But think this way
It wouldn't be hard for European states to incentivise European women to have children by giving them huge tax breaks
Have 4 kids and your family (husband included) never pays income tax
Of course, European states have a serious mental block towards doing this because its:
"we don't deserve to make more of ourselves because we're racist"
or
"that's fascism"
Yet, the state is happy to set up a welfare system that migrates huge population into Europe, then puts them on welfare and funds them - tax free - to stay at home and make 8-12 children
All in the name of "emapthy" and "helping the other"
---
There's obviously nuance here, but you can see quite an astounding "Self own" in place due to the mental scambled eggs that make up the European mind
All ending up in a self castration and sacrifice towards the other
This doesn't mean you shouldn't "help" others - but you should ask yourself if you're doing it out of a place of abundance or a death cult driven self hate
I agree with everything except #4. I don't think transgenderism and other sects of LGBT has anything to do with cultural expectations. As you said in #3, women are having less children because the environment is not conducive to children, namely the economy. The decreasing birth rates are working in lockstep with the increasing transgenderism, homosexuality, etc. This is not a coincidence. *Both* of these behaviors are naturally evolved responses to environmental factors! The environment and the economy that distributes the resources in that environment are telling people that reproduction is not a viable option right now. Our genes are literally expressing themselves to slow the population growth because our cells are sending signals that the environment is unsustainable. This is *epigenetics.*
There's a reason why rates of homosexuality and transgenderism increase in collapsing empires. It's literally a warning sign developed by millions of years of evolution.
@Uberboyo
Consider the difference between the two opposing scenarios you've laid out.
1. Europeans reproduce themselves.
2. Europeans refrain from reproducing and allow immigrants to move in.
In both scenarios, welfare takes care of the "new" people. However, in the first scenario, the immigrants never move in, this ultimately means there are more *total* people in the 1st scenario.
Now consider the difference in effect that globalization has in the two scenarios, given that there are more people in scenario #1. Well as it stands, 9 million people starve to death every year. We are failing to feed, house, and otherwise care for the people who are already on this planet. And as the world's economy becomes more globalized, we simply depend on each other more. So in scenario #1, you have more people to feed and very likely more tension *between* nations. In scenario #2, you have less people to feed, and you're assimilating cultures which leads to less tension between nations.
In other words, your ego is telling you your blood is better than theirs... Despite the fact that globalization is increasing the interdependence of everyone in the world. Your blood is becoming their blood, and you can't see it because your traditional nationalistic perspective is so ingrained in you that you are having a hard time finding compatibility with a globalizing economy.
And btw, the reason that economy is globalizing is because the wealthy capitalistic nations decided it was time to exploit labor everywhere else. Afterall, there's simply more profit in third-world labor. And to go a step further, it's this exploitation of labor that *creates* the fu**ing refugee immigrants that you're complaining about! Why work in Mexico for US companies when they pay 4x as much across the border?
There's a reason first-world nations are turning to empathy. It's because they are becoming more conscious as the cloud of cognitive dissonance lifts away. And what is lifting the cognitive dissonance? Well the crime and social strife that's been manufactured in other nations due to the labor exploitation is starting to come home. The capitalists are globalizing and buying islands and they're leaving behind the first-world nations that they sprouted from.
Last point about anti-natalism and your Reddit hate hard-on.... Again, the crime and social strife is coming to your front door. You blame the immigrants, and the immigrants may even blame you. But in short order, you'll both run out of welfare *and* children if you don't start pointing the finger at the people exploiting the labor. The problem is wealth inequality. It's always been a class war. You live in a world brimming with the technology needed to create a utopia, but you're pretending or fooled into believing that the scarcity is inevitable. A world without electricity and instant communication has vastly less potential than our current one. The sooner you realize how your actions effect yourself through the people on the other side of the planet, the better.
Tldr: We are all one!
“By men for men.” Lol, no. By the rich and powerful for the rich and powerful.

I like how you are explaining denial in everyday terms and examples! Great Job! Spread the Truth.
Yes LAD!!! you are on fire lately. Keep this coming
To repress the geniuses that were meant to rise… to cut them off spiritually instead of allowing them the opportunity to adopt life affirming values for them to gives us the art of the future… this is something I can’t forgive.
I feel like that's me. Me and my partner in our late 30s/early 40s and she's unwilling to start a family now. We'd been talking about it since our late 20s. Ran out of time. She dedicated herself to the lie, her career. I let the weakness of this culture convince me to feel sorry for myself instead of overcoming my limits. But when I finally pulled myself out I failed to convince the person I care about most. The weight of that kills me.
I call everything described here as the machine. Oversocialization. Beurocracy. Consumerism. I feel like I could always sense it. The weight of knowing it's there but being unable to convince others it's there has made me feel indescribably alienated. Isolated, even when surrounded by others. So many people I know are reddit brained. I'm so exhausted.
To younger people: Don't end up like me. Your time is precious. Spend it wisely.
Man what a rad video! Love how you conveyed Nietzsche's beliefs. He is one of my favorite all-time philosophers👏
I have just discovered your channel. It is refreshing to find someone else with a brain! You are obviously well read. Lots of new content to work through. Good for u. Keep it up!
The more life goes on, I think Nietzsche's reevaluation of all values is the only way forward. But people should remember what this is supposed to mean, it doesn't necessarily mean rejection of all values previously held. It means to honestly and authentically interrogate why we value the things that we do, and in this process we might find that a lot of the values we hold are holding us back, and we may find that some are actually good. Nietzsche even gives us the criteria to judge values on. And it's what is life-affirming vs what is life-denying. I think this frame work is the future because Christianity, regardless of how one personally feels about, is not coming back. Granted, this frame work isn't as cut and dry and all-encompassing as some would like. It certainly has it's grey areas. But it makes the most sense right now.
I am grateful that I came across your content.
That’s legendary! What a speech!

This video, this presentation, is nothing less than purely exceptional. Uberboyo, you are truly gifted. You wield a sword as sharp as the ancients.
These really are coming right in time boyo. I feel like I'm literally surrounded by people who've lost their mind. As soon as I make a friend, they start in on the slave morality bullshit and it feels like I'm locked in a mad house. Loving all the recent videos!

You aren't along, I have to employ people who aren't mental. Its hard to pick them.

You blame Reddit I blame capitalism
He seems a bit mixed up. He mentions "reddit hegemony" and then he goes on to criticize reddit for being unmotivated and unable to to anything but complain about inequality and injustice.... Both can't be true. If Reddit's desire for equality and justice were manifested, they'd have nothing to complain about.
Seems to me the inequality and injustice (brought on by capitalism) is obstacle *and* motivation of Reddit's attempts to achieve hegemony, and those things are very much still an effective obstacle.
This is communism were witnessing. Capitalism is dead.
If you knew what capitalism is you might make a case for something but obviously you don't and thus can't make a case for anything
@@mikeb5372 Can't say if you're talking to me, but I know very well what capitalism is. I made a case for it in a video. Your comment at face value is no more of a "case" than the top comment you responded to. In other words, the original comment says 2+2=capitalism. You made a statement criticizing the answer, and provided no alternative case yourself. Given this chain of events, it's just as valid for me to accuse you of not knowing what capitalism is. Stop criticizing if you are too lazy to provide an alternative solution.
@@limitisillusion7 Yes, it is just as valid to accuse me of not knowing. Ironic that someone would accuse you of not making a case and then not make a case. Get it?
The act of 'enjoying' suffering is a paradox.
Great video. Keep up the great work
You (and Nietzsche) hit the nail on the head here, and I painfully recognize how all that you discussed is present in my life. Even many of these comments, which are usually crap, are eerily insightful. This video is amazing. It autoplayed after another video I clicked on, and as I listened, every point resonated deeply with me, so I kept listening. I've been fed some of these ideas here and there for a long time, but never have I had them all thrown in my face, in one grand perspective, all at once before. I experienced an epiphany while watching this, and I want to thank you Uberboyo, for presenting the material in the way that you did. I am going to let all this information permeate my soul and try to embrace the tenets of true masculinity as I go about my day today. Being a nice guy and avoiding conflict have never improved my life, and I am tired of living without confidence. We all need to re-learn how to be offensive, and how to not be offended.
Powerful stuff.
Yup, it all just makes sense
Preach!!!
Greetings from Australia
Class as always. I appreciate getting this message out mate, probably one of the most important messages going. Mad times
Just found this ... as an old man who is truly disheartened by the change, over the last few decades, from a future full of possibilities to a shallow, depressing one of ever-narrowing horizons and restricted possibilities.... I found this to be a quite excellent analysis and critique of the root cause! Excellent!!
amazing, never doubt Life... it has always made it thus far ;)
Hey uberboyo, your videos are really inspirational I've been trying to reach you and I highly recommend you read a manga called berserk it aligns a lot with both Jung and neitzche
Yep classic piece of works.
Berserk is really great, such an optimistically life affirming work towards the end.
Beautiful art and story. I'm sure he's aware of it already.
Yes I know it!
@@uberboyo less gooo I got a reply from the boyo himself
a dude made me watch this video on our first date and let me tell you, that is not how you pick up a woman. needless to say, my panties did not drop and there was no second date!
Found this in recommended. I like this very much, thanks, keep going
New to the channel. Excellent content. Looking forward to catching up on your catalog.
God this is excellent boyo, love your energy and confidence in your guile here.
I don't know many times I've heard someone say " but you misunderstand Nietzsche". Seems no one fully understands him.
Great presentation! Your delivery of this/these messages are spot on! Thank you
I think N was concerned with a last man ethos. I’m not sure that’s the same thing as people effectively wanting what they think they’re due. The problem with the lion/ gazelle anology is that with humans the gazelles can turn around and do a revolution. Also if you want good art you probably need the government to get the wallets out and actually fund arts in working class communities. That way you get more people who can paint, ergo more exceptional painters.
N’s point is we’ll only be free and “Uber” is when we can choose to suffer for a reason- some higher expression of a will to power. Putting disabled access in and stopping people from being racist or whatever isn’t relevant. It’s not good art or disabled toilets. So I have a bit of an issue there. Feels a bit like sophistry.
Great vid. I love that N is finally getting a long deserved reappraisal. I was also one of those people that had an extremely inaccurate understanding of N based on second-hand sources. When I finally started getting into his books, I discovered one of the most interesting and courageous thinkers of recorded history. His description of history's Last Man (disturbingly close to a portrait of our current condition) has become an anchor-point for understanding my own value system.
What a beautiful video
"Nietzsche the German Incel", that was a great disruption
I don't think a reddit utopia includes God
Nietzsche safed my life! 🤩
I didn't take him literally when he said "Philosophers, start dancing!". I despised party people and such in my youth. I was wrong. And so are you, if you don't go out now and then 🤓 Dancing is divine, no one gets harmed, all that supressed energy starts to move. You will see things more clearly, once it clicks with you.
I am not kidding, even found a crowd of people that I actually love getting lost with. Can't recommend it enough. Feeling really foolish for ignoring this part of my life for so long.
In short: Thanks, Nietzsche, you wonderful weirdo!

Wow I have missed your content for to long, I really like the Lion section.

Everybody goes insane if they try to live their own philosophy. Only one thing keeps people sane, and that's hypocrisy.

You are going places man no one else is providing this level of analysis and story telling on philosophy tube.
well done!! with people like you existing and reachig others we are not lost
There are so many great nuggets here but I think general dysphoria isn't really related. You could say that those people are choosing life, not death. Choosing mental wellness is heroic. I just don't think it's that black and white. Also, I can much better be a lion without kids. I really appreciate your work though. My remix of this would be to leave out identity politics which are much more nuanced and encourage people who do feel persecuted to face pain and embrace life.❤
Would be interesting if you made a video discussing more in depth on how Nietzsche sees morality and objective truth. - This seems like the main sticking point that a lot of anti Nietzsche guys cling to that I feel like they do because they lack the actual understanding of what Nietzsche is actually getting at. Especially with the idea that Nietzsche is a yes sayer for life, from which he derives a lot of his ideas as a sort of first principle, and that; like Thucydides, seems to view moral systems as originating from the ground up, being influenced by different peoples cultures and traditions (hence why there are so many different "objective truths" out there) that seem to all have similarities at the heart of them despite a lot of the socially constructed differences.
Much like how a caste system is a social construct, but a social construct that bases itself off of an aspect of reality that is very real, that being hierarchies. Much like how you have different types of caste systems throughout history that have differences between them, they all stem and draw their power from the same source, morality works the same way.
the lion feeds on the gazelles..and the gazelles are kept healthy..because it are the sick and weak that fall prey first.....

Last time I checked, the lion face was carved over with a man’s face, and we’ve been swimming in and carrying water ever since.
The "Cult of weakness" is the best way to describe the alphabet 🌈 gang, that I've heard in a long while.
Now, I tend to agree with pretty much everything you say, except the children's argument, as having kids is not a mandatory contractual clause on our "life-time contract", when you say that kids take away our freedoms, our chance to enjoy ourselves and accomplish our goals, in a sarcastic manner, you're actually telling the truth, and I don't see why we need to deny that, or better yet, to act as if it were our duty to "castrate" our dreams in order to put another life on earth, is not like we're facing extinction, focusing on ourselves and our own growth is neither wrong, nor selfish, it's a choice like any other, so as much as I disagree with the liberal mob, on many subjects I disagree with conservatives and their backwardness. Y'know, I'VE chosen to have this material life experience, and I AM goin to chose how to play it out, the only mandatory rule for a good life, in my opinion, is respect and honesty, these two things go a long way in guaranteeing you a peaceful experience where you're truly free to do as you please, without fear of repercussions from people you screwed, or generally speaking, from karma.
Great work, great passion, great video. I've learned so much listening to your commentaries. I look forward to more. All the best.
The reason the lion is beautiful is because you only look at them when they're in a cage. In other words, it's *safety* that makes the lion beautiful, not violence.

Beautiful video brother! this needs more publicity i will do my best to share and spread this
Does this guy not like Reddit?
This is the best analysis of what is wrong with our culture, that I have ever heard! This is also why I personally stopped identifying as a Christian and started looking into stoicism instead. Christianity sees the world as fundamentally flawed and bad, and it even tells us that humanity is responsible for destroying Paradise, and bringing, pain suffering, disease, predation, and death into the world. It sets the stage for people to blame others or themselves for all bad things. What could be a worse way to look at the world?
there is no substantial critic of any of the problems you mentioned, it's just overgeneralisation, some narrative, talks about these topics needs nuance and specifity, not unbased opinions. Just squeezing things you don't like together doesn't give it meaning.
E.g of you wanna talk about affirmative actions you should address the arguments that are presented for it not pseudo arguments you derive in your head, it isn't out of guilt of the past rather compensating for the effects of the past that are prevalent today, it could be socioeconomical, cultural backgrounds.. I'm not pro affirmative action I just dislike dishonest diacussions.
Also women are told to not embrace femininity and go get careers? how is career unfeminine? Not getting careers didn't work out well for women did it? Just throwing complex topics in one video around simple narrative is dishonest.
About toxic masculinity also, no one says masculinity is inherently toxic, what is toxic is Andrew Tate type masculinity that imposes on males to suppress emotions, have this morbid ownership over women, in my country we have a thing called honor culture, where men go around killing other men for saying something 'disrespectful' and its considered manly to defend their honor by violence instead of being mentally so at peace that no word of stranger can unhinge you..Thats considered weak. That's why we have high death toll among high school boys, it's very common and it is definition of toxic masculinity.
I expected more nuance from you.
u sound triggered fam...u mad ?
It's unfeminen to be a disposable cog in a machine to create, maintain infrastructureand civilization. Men are disposable tools, woman are not, the body of the masculine and feminine of the respective sex showcases that reality. There's nothing toxic and harmful about keeping face and being stoic however it is hard to be stoic when it's more necessary but having the capacity to be emotionally expressive and stoic is a huge asset that many lack hence the rarity and your common thinking that you can't be one without the other. Fighting, making content and being a force is a therapy of sorts. As for honor culture it's toxic when the days of such are over however it was once a necessity as loosing face (honor) can be dangerous for yourself and your family. The place that you reside is going through a transitional period from that honor culture however view the west and these videos a preparatory of how your land and people will turn out. Also avoid using those toxic labels all is toxic pass a certain threshold, as with anything too much of anything is toxic. What you call toxic masculinity is merely just an imbalance of one's maturity, balance of masculine and feminine (more on the feminine) and lack of self-actualization which creates this inner conflict and stress.
I'm talking about nuance around topics you go with personal name-calling
& half of it is hellah alt right talking points, instead of approaching even some of those ideas with nuance or critical thought or consideration (even if aligning with the value of Slave vs Master morality, and Nietzche and his ideas) it betrays a bit of ignorance.
Nobody is reading all of that
Great video, thanks.
You know, sometimes this kind of thinking is clearly only applicable to a very sheltered and privileged life. Like, I doubt it makes sense to say something to someone in Palestine, Ukraine or Sudan that they're denying life and becoming weak redditors for going through what they're going through, for example. Or to trans people (getting a weird vibe that you're anti-trans?? You displayed a really skewed perspective of it around 13:40 - no one is telling you to be trans but you said it as if that is the case which I can call bad faith at best), or gay people, or people born to be stuck in poor neighborhoods etc etc... I don't think it'd be fair to say they're just part of a death cult or any of that other stuff now.
edit: okaayyyyy so I listened to the following minute and it just gets worse. My brother in Christ, 1) a woman's place is not in the kitchen, here nor there, it's not weird for her to pursue a career.. at least no more than it is for a man.. we made up society my man, you are so stuck in one very specific iteration that has proliferated and despite women pursuing this 'super modern way of living' for centuries now you can't seem to work that into your working model of the world.. 2) PEOPLE ARE NOT SAYING THAT MASCULINITY IS BAD!!!! G'ahh!!! It's so frustrating to see people taking such an active role in getting this wrong. Like you have to try to get it wrong in 2023... Toxic masculinity is the bad thing. Pay attention to the first word. Toxic. When masculinity is expressed as a toxic thing, then it is toxic. Masculinity in itself? Fine. Toxic masculinity? Toxic! Is this making sense yet? Here's an analogy: food is cool, big fan. Poisoned food? Nah bruv. Don't like it. It's poison. But food, no poison? Very good. Understand now?
Like, how do people get wised up enough to engage with philosophy but get such basic things that people are saying so so wrong? Unless you yourself have some blindspots or some very bad faith in your interations with new things. Like, Nietzsche is fun to read but also remember that he was a very sheltered lad with very limited experience with the real world out there. It's easy to tut at your misunderstandings of these things when you've never lived in the world beyond your nose.
The words Toxic Masculinity are jargon words that only make sense to people who go to the institutions that teach these ideas. To the rest of the world and to the layman it means exactly how it sounds, like you are calling Masculinity toxic. It's understandable people get confused. I wish those who believe in these ideologies would deign to use everyday language rather than demanding everyone learn the terminology of their particular ideology. It would make communication easier.
