I'm not sure how this video will trigger woke lefties but we know it's coming. Keep up the good work, it is so refreshing having a unique voice and someone with the courage to tackle very complex and/or controversial topics. WhatIFaltHIs thank you for making thought provoking content for the deeper thinkers of the world. the woke mind virus and the infected are terrified of this channel, i think it's the logic and references used that infuriated the woke since it reminds them of how unscientific their arguments are like critical race theory during BLM riots and gender theory are trend. Not knowing the definition of racism and what is a woman is are prime examples of thinking oneself into stupidity such as the left has donej
Can you do a video in the future on what a proper ruling class is and how can it be reinvigorated.
neat
I do think that the mental health crisis goes hand and hand with education. Fix education you fix part of the problem. The other part is the mating and dating crisis. The educational system s bias towards women. And only favors women and I feel it is made by women for women.

Society's willingness to accept mediocrity and apathy would argue otherwise.
@@ottomcannick7698I think that comes directly from the fact that a lot of work what we do these days feels pointless , and that’s because it often literally is
I found myself saying this today to a family member. Putting in all this effort for to end up in the same or worse situation than if you didn't at all.
@grzegorzbrzeczyszykiewic3338 I'm blessed with a job that makes people's loves easier/safer. I know the impact of my work. So I don't feel that my efforts are wasted. The lack of acknowledgment from the higher-ups is annoying, but that can be righted with the acceptance that they, too, have their own life and their own issues.
Keep up the grind folks, it does get better in it's own way.
I've often thought that mental health issues were more of a spiritual issue than a medical one.
boys do crabs think fish are flying?
Maybe, I sway no because crabs likely feel the Water while we don't feel the air so I think it's like seeing a dude get airtime by being thrown by a catapult in my opinion.
More like wearing a jetpack
They don't understand the concept. Air and sky are not things a crab knows.
Fish don't fly, they swim

honest question? what is so difficult about living in society as a women? Women literally get to go through life on very easy mode. You could literally walk up to random guy and ask to marry him and then never have to work a day in your life.
@@jimmyware511 - I'm transgender. That's definitely not easy mode, but I will say that many men wanted to date me. Once they learned I was transgender, though, they'd reject me. And remember, just because men want to marry you, doesn't mean they're worthy of marrying or having children with.

I healed myself from crippling anxiety, depression and an “incurable” arthritic autoimmune disease that took my health by age 20. Society as it’s constructed makes people sick. The solution I’ve found, is to be antisocial. Live your life for you and to help others that want what you offer. Spiritual progress or the search for it healed my mind and body as much as the functional healing did.
Add in no social media, and I'm on it. I think a lot of these hardships are caused by comparison to others.

In short: instead of journaling start chatting with a made-up version of your older wiser and accomplished self where you ask for their advice and perspective.
Usually, they're gonna tell you to stop fixating on all the meaningless bullshit that seems so important to you in the moment and calmly work on the bigger picture.
It ain't perfect but it's a damn great way of living under that constraint of the human condition.
Imagine a parent teaching their child that they can fly and then being shocked when the child jumps off a roof and falls to their death.
Our current society is the child and we just found the ladder.
Perfect analogy
Funny story actually, I watched Pinocchio when I was little and there's a scene where Jiminy cricket jumps off a desk and floats down to the floor using his little umbrella as a parachute. Dumb little me thought because he could do it I could fly too. I stacked a stool on top of a wooden chair and tried to jump off holding an umbrella and well.....that was my first broken arm 😅
@@elyksteeley1181I used to do that with my bunk bed! 😂
Edit: Also tried to use hangers as a bow and arrow
Girls can be boys, boys can be furries and men can have babies, welcome to our brave new world.
What does the analogy stand for in particular? Are you just referring to the trans thing or are there other things that flying stands for here?
I used to think that people working a 40 hour work week cannot complain about being overworked because if you were to live off-grid and out of society, you’d have to work all day every day growing food, farming, hunting, collecting water, etc. We work less today for what we have than any other time in history by far. However, I think a 40 hour work week in a cubicle as a nameless cog is far more mentally draining than 80 hours a week working your own land and thus you are more overworked. It’s not all about the physicality of your work but the fulfillment that work provides you.
It wouldn't take nearly so many hours. I work my own land. There is a seasonality to tasks. some things you have to do every say, like feeding animals, but many other times, you're just sort of passively watching plants grow, especially if you have perennial plants like an orchard of fruit trees or a vineyard. There are long work days when you have to till or plant or harvest, but most days have plenty of spare time. Plants and animals tend to be okay untended for hours, as long as you've set up your infrastructure right.
@@oneperson5760 It is a far less stressful way of life. 😉
Thats objectively wrong bro... i work 3 days a week and pay others to cook for me, i play video games in my off time, i enjoy my time not working all day everyday... i know you for a fact have never chopped wood for a half winter in a weekend lol... you ever stay up late to catch a coon eating yer chickens then have to get up and work in a few hours?

@@tomtom1003 According to the Google, absolutely not, but there is quite an ironic twist in your mixup.
H. P. Lovecraft, a man who suffered a great deal form mental illness, wrote extensively in his fictions that as humanity progressed in unlocking the secrets of the universe while the old social mores and rules decayed, it would begin to slip into collective madness. He personified it as ancient and primal cosmic horrors in the form of twisted villains, monsters, and demonic gods exploding onto the landscape of human reality, but really I think he may have been onto something.
That's an amazing insight. I have read Lovecraft and never made that connection.

You missed an important factor in your assessment.
Past societies were insulated, isolated into tiny pockets where ideas & behaviors could grow unchecked, mostly free from outside influence. Today's society is an amalgamation of international, & even global, influences & scrutiny. The crazies no longer have the asylums to themselves.
Now, for the first time in human history, the crazies & the sane are broadly mixed together via the Internet & international media. They observe, criticize, judge, & influence one another openly online.
This will have a major impact on the outcome versus societies of the past.
Especially as the sane, out of desperation, become more & more bold to voice criticism & condemnation of the insanity.
That's starting to happen now, your video is an example.
If mental illness is socially influenced, & I believe you are correct in that, then so is mental wellness. Right now the crazies are the loudest, their mental illness goes largely unchecked so it deepens & spreads. As the voice & volume of sanity increases it too will gain influence.
The best thing we can do as a society is to be MORE open & voiceful with support of sane, societally healthy behavior. Openly challenge, criticize, & condemn unhealthy behavior. Give the crazies reason to question their beliefs. Above all, let them know their behaviors & actions are NOT socially acceptable.
That is the way.
In the end the greater influence will win.
Underrated comment.
> Right now the crazies are the loudest
Those goddamn MAGAts.
It's unbelievable how difficult it feels nowadays to try to socialize with others. Constantly worried about saying something someone might consider "wrong", and not wanting to be made fun of for saying a certain thing. It's not even about being "canceled' or whatever. It's about losing someone you love, the potential of your life being ruined based on the manipulation of a lie, and how fucked up everything is and everyone knows it. I honestly think we're too far ahead into stupidity and negativity, it's overwhelming and consuming us daily. And it won't stop. It's too powerful now.
the solution is to not care what others think of you bro. I actually like to make jokes about the wokies when meeting new people, great way to filter out the loonies.

I do agree. Learn to respect human values, and everyone individually. I am myself, and others can be themselves.
For the past 10-20 years people have given into stupidity and irrationality. I think antiintellectualism is the result of many things. Mainly a clash of ignorant wrong ideas such as religion with truth, the psyops of russia and china against the west and truth having the objectibe of demoralization of societies and a fall in the quality of education.
I don't give a hoot what some shmuck thinks is "wrong".
My advice: let them censor themselves if they must. Not you.
It can stop by refocusing. Not on us, but what's being done to us.
A few years ago I was told there was a pandemic and I thought to myself:
"strange thing, I always thought I would see and feel it if there is a pandemic, but the only way I can tell there is a pandemic is media output".
About a year later I saw and felt a mental helth pandemic happening but the media kept silent, this is going on ever since.
Same. I was telling the CEO of my factory around the same time as you, that although I've struggled with my mental health pretty much my entire life, I've been seeing symptoms all around me and that it was worrying me.
You can’t necessarily “see and hear” that there’s a pandemic because it’s not in your town yet, but spreading quickly through gatherings, shopping, etc.

Man, it is quite ironic and reality shattering for me to hear about hikikomoris, as someone who grew up watching anime I am well acquainted with the "NEET and Hikikomori" terms as it is (or was) something adressed often on a great variety of genres in anime, I never understood why someone would choose to isolate themselfs of society and do nothing all day, yet to my surprise I am currently one of those "NEETS/Hikikomoris", it feels so unreal to look back on my early years and try to understand how I came to be who I am today on both an individual and collective perspective.
Just to say, all of this was just a little vent.
I find it interesting as I've gone the other way while watching everyone around me go backwards.

Rudyard is very PC, sitting his butt right in "the center" from 5-10 years ago, which would be considered extreme far left by any democrat from the 90's.
I definitely find this entertaining although I don't really put any confidence whatsoever in predictions of the future, let alone this guy's predictions.
Rudyard still espouses modern misunderstandings on race, equality, female rights, and democracy. I like a lot of what he says but, suffer no delusion, he's still what Morpheus would call a "blue-pill". He approaches the fringes of the Overton Window but, I don't believe he's ever crossed it.
I recommend watching some opposing critiques of this channel tho. And also thinking for yourself always goes a long way

I remember reading about a crucial detail regarding the mouse paradise experiment, in that it was started with random mice. When other researchers tried duplicating the experiment, they found that if they took mice who had pre-existing strong relationships, they didn't fall into the spiral as easily or at all.
I also wonder if inbreeding was responsible in any way for the result.
Another huge thing with the mouse experiment that everybody forgets that completely invalidates the entire experiment is they didn't account for natural environments for the mice in question. All the mice were forced to live in a bland grey series of interconnected boxes. There was no attempt to emulate or simulate shrubbery, forestry, weather, or anything else the mice would be naturally accustomed to or stimulated by. The mice literally went insane with boredom because there was nothing to do except eat and screw.
The human equivalent would be locking a colony of humans in a giant apartment complex with no art, no tools, no plants. Just flat plain grey walls and food/drink dispensers with nothing else.

The only pandemic I’ve seen over the last decade, is narcissism. This won’t go away until we address it for what it is. Instead of lumping it into the mental health category. We need to approach it as a personality health issue.
"You're not sick, you're not a victim, you're just an asshole with a shitty personality." Based.
M. Scott Peck wrote a book called People Of The Lie that speaks to this, I highly suggest it.
Not sure of exactly what you mean, it is described as a personality disorder. "NPD"
I completely agree, but I think the narcissists need to be policed and ostracized by everyone, as part of a group effort. They act the way they do with impunity because they face no significant consequences. If they ended up being treated as lepers, I think they may make an effort to change
@@spencer9892I mean there should be a separate category for personality disorders. Currently it is falling under mental health. And is consuming resources from those who truly have mental health issues. Under the current model the treatment has no effect on personality disorders. That’s why the problem continues I grow.
Honestly the idea of living through the end of humanity sounds incredible when you consider all the possible generations in human history that you could have been born into.

Oh, come on. Women hate themselves and all other women and their babies (murder one million per year) and their children (mutilate them for the trans agenda) and hate all men the very people keeping you from freezing and starving in the dark.

Over reliance on drugs and therapy are seriously damaging society. Through sheer greed weve convinced people that giving hard drugs and hormones (BC pill ect)to kids is not only healthy but beneficial for minor behavioral problem. I cant even count the number of kids i know on Ritalin, which is essentially meth, or on mood stabilizers at 10 that we have no idea how they work. When i was a child i had organizational fixations( later discovered to be asbergers) and was diagnosed as OCD. My doctor predcribed me psychological medication....at 9 years old. Of course as a 9 year old that medication that wasnt needed after all of course started fucking with my head causing a lack of attention ect. So when i was 11 i was diagnosed with ADHD and given ritalin. Which of course fucked up my mood and caused mania and crashes. Which caused me to be diagnosed as bipolar at 13 fucking years old. Which led me to be given anti psychotics and mood stabilizers and caused massive weight gain ballooning me to 400lbs. At 16 i was at the worst mental health of my life, extreme depression suicidal ideation violent thoughts. Finally at 18 once puberty started being controlled i decided enough was enough i wanted to see what being off my prescription felt like and started weaning off. After three weeks of chaos my head was finally clear. I felt great, no longer had mania or depression, no more ticks or organization fixations, no more anger. 10 years later ive never felt better, never been healtheir and ive passed several psych tests with no issues and work constantly in high stress dangerous situations with no issues. I had to deal with obesity and 10 years of suffering because some PHD decided i needed to be drugged up rather than investigate the problem. 10 years of drug induced suffering because a doctor misdiagnosed autism.
A portion of our population has a vested interest (- financially, socially, politically, etc.) in our society having zero morals or scruples. You cannot profitably sell drugs (pharmaceuticals and illegal), sex, and useless tech/commodities to a society with moral discipline and faith. They would go broke. Debauchery keeps the economy afloat.
My own youth and childhood was identical to yours. At one point, I was on at least 7 different forms of medication at once. During elementary school, I was being prescribed dexadrine. You know, something that was being given to troops in Vietnam. It gets better. In late elementary school, I was on Risperdal and Zoloft at the same time. Yeah, to say that I have a massive distrust of modern psychiatry is an understatement.
@jaredthehawk3870 I was on both Risperdal and zoloft myself, now in law enforcement I deal with people who actually need medication fairly regularly. To add to to the distrust it's almost impossible to get these people a bed or treatment. All the remaining psych hospitals only will hold them and treat them if they have good insurance to milk, and being severely mentally ill of course they don't have it. So they just get kicked out after a few days worse off than they were going in, because now they are coming off their prescriptions. I've been getting my degree in psych the last few years, and so far I've found that despite how far up their own ass modern psychology is that therapy and treatment hasn't advanced much past Freud and asylums.
So you were autistic, not ADHD or bipolar?
They aren’t looking out for us. They didn’t drug you to help you do better. They drugged you so you’d do better for society. Everything we do isn’t for us or humanity even. It’s for ever more efficiency. Ever more profit. This society is sick .
If depression is so widespread that the population decrease rate and societal response literally borders the Black Death, this will probably be the worst time to live in in history. At least people who caught the plague got it quick and they didn’t always have a terrible life beforehand.
Edit:so many people are posting depressing stuff in the reply so I’ll share what I beliebe, and use to go through this.
In times of apocalypse, it’s better to die in battle than die immediatly. There’s a reason people read about zombie stories where the Mc fight them, not die immediatly to them. You can’t carve your setting but you carve your story, how you react with it. How other perceive you doesn’t even matter, bc there’s no “chad looking” person in this decadence, and if there is it’s likely they just ride the crowd. imagine if you can re read a cosmic book recording your life, how would you write the story next? That’s what you should do.
There is a value to struggle. Sure, physical achievements have values, but the stuff that matters more is how one fight struggle. With no struggle and sadness happiness and achievement is meaningless. Climbing an infinite mountain is good, bc you know you are getting higher, and there’s always more mountain to climb. The world won’t be perfect but it can be better.
Don’t worry if others won’t remember your name. Nobody knows who invented the wheel, but every time we drive a car it reminds all of us that the wheel was invented. One will forever live through how they impact history, even if ever so slightly. Keep doing your thing, you all means a lot.
I would also give all of you guys a hug as well🫂, we csn support each other here 😄
(My biggest fear is complete authoritarianism, it’s not likely but it can happen. Where whether through culture or law one is forced to have no choice. Cancel culture is leading to that already where rebelling means very little and the consequences to not conforming is severe . It’s a culture so not tied t9 a few elites who can die. That makes life less meaningful bc you can’t choose what to do so you aren’t really climbing your mountain.
But, a culture that bad would be mass opposed anyway and all my fellow who is willing to die in battle will help bring it down. )
Statements like that just proved how *** **** stupid people like you have become. if you had any idea how horrible life was back then You would thank your almighty gods that your mom and dad met when they did.
"they didn’t always have a terrible life beforehand." RETARD. their lives were dogshit. MORON.
Im already feeling the depression,man everything just seems so pointless even when i get little blimps of motivation i end up feeling like shit even when i accomplish things.
My only hope isn't that it doesn't happen, because it will, it's that the after effects of it will be the same as the Black Death. A better tomorrow for the survivors.
@@brandonmoses895As someone on the right, I will point out that having purpose, responsibility and ideals for yourself to struggle toward is what makes many people fulfilled. Note I said fulfilled and not happy. Thats what you really need. My .02.
I'm a 29 year old man. I was working 3 jobs to support my wife and 2 kids. I dropped down to 40 hours a week and we had to sell our house as a result.
I understand why men struggle with their mental health when even working 3 jobs doesn't mean getting ahead at times. I understand why they want things to change fundamentally.
Now imagine that instead of your wife and kids, after a whole day at work you would be going back to an empty and tight apartment (which you only rent, not own) and have to live as an atomized person without any people who loves you and without friends. That's how many young men are living today. I am really suprised that society is in any way still somehow functioning right now.
But anyway, my huge respect to you for being a father in this hard times. I hope that your kids will grow up to be a healthy and fulfilled (because that's what really brings happiness) people
That's me. I own a house, and I'm relatively well off, but at the end of the day, it's empty when I get back from work. No children or wife to greet me, no girlfriend either. I'm so starved for affection and love that if things don't get better soon, I don't really have a reason to keep going. So it would be a rational thing to end it all (why live when the most basic human necessity, after food and water, is denied to you?)
@@josec.6394I'm really sorry to hear both of your accounts... I know very clearly what it's like to want real true love as well. Hell, my last marriage had me feeling just as alone at night in my bed next to someone, than I felt when I was single...
It took me a long time to get to a place where I was mentally healthy enough just having my family, and didn't desperately need a partner to live life with. Then like magic, I met the love of my life.
It is all very complex, and each of us is going through different parts of our journey, and I don't know where anyone else is at... I also felt like checking out. I do believe each person has the right to make that decision if they choose to do so, but I also know more than ever that emotion clouds rational judgement so severely it's crazy.
This might sound ridiculous, but my suggestion is to get out of debt as fast as you can, stay out of it, and make the smartest choices you can to have as much freedom as you can. It takes a world of burden off of you.
If you are out of shape, stop eating garbage and start working out. How you look matters to others and you. If you are gross the odds of finding someone go WAAAYY down. So you have to change that.
The hard thing about being depressed, is that it effects you in a way that perpetuates exactly your current condition... You have to fight it, and hold onto any little victory you can claim. You absolutely must take 100% accountability for everything in your life. It's the only way to start making decisions that will actually move you to a position of controlling it.
Like I said I don't know your position, but there are just undeniable fundamental things you must do. Learn who you are and why you do the shit you do/don't do, and cut the damaging parts of your behavior out.
There ARE wonderful women out there, but you have to wade through what feels like an endless sea of idiots to find her. But you'll never keep her if you aren't the right person, or at least noticably on your way to being that man. Good luck

I was diagnosed with manic depression. The cure was forgiving those who hurt me, finding God, working out, being mindful of what I eat, and not turning down opportunities to socialize while also refusing to spend any time with nihilists. Today I have a wonderful church, friends and family that live nearby, and a priest who I can tell anything I am struggling with and he will help me through it, free of charge.
That all said, I do also take vitamin D in the winter and ashwagandha for stress, but I was taking these before along with antidepressants and they weren't enough.
all religion is a cult and your god isnt real. good to have a community though, and church is good for that. sad that a lot of people have to believe in absolute nonsense in order to create that though. football/soccer serves the same function for many people as well.
I’m glad you’ve overcame your troubles and became a better and healthier person for it
I believe a secular culture with moral relativism and No God to forgive people and redeem them is a dangerous, sad society. One that has no reason to value anything good nor anything bad. A constant grey area.
That’s nothing I want to be a part of.

I'm not saying I agree with it all, or that he is any kind of authority on the matter (really, who is?), but his content is at the very least interesting and asks some questions many others are afraid to address.

I actually think that one of the reasons 40k is so popular today is that it presents religion as plausible and even useful to a generation of autistic shut-ins. It argues that human emotions are reflected in another dimension, and that the energy from those emotions coalesce into sentient beings (gods and daemons) which try to influence people by breaking through into the material world. Faith and courage can repel or strengthen them because faith and courage are emotions.
Sure, it's pure fantasy, but it's a fantasy which _makes sense,_ and which provides a metaphysical framework to explain and defeat evil.
It's beautiful to see a fan of 40k to be so articulate instead of most fans which only know it through memes and misinformation on it.
beutifly said ive been thinking about this as well
I beleve 40k will be one of those art pieces predicting reality like simpsons or more the art imprinting itself on the collective physche and human beings will play it out in reality
I guarantee a mechanicus and cult of man will be a real thing with differnt names in the near future
Slow cooking a new chaos god to hold onto a crumbling empire is of questionable value.
Edit:Typos
Also because the franchise in many ways is a giant black pill. A complete rejection of Gene Rodenberry's optimism and an embrace of all that can go wrong. It's relatable in this day and age.
Uh.... Been playing 40k since Necromunda was new. I just play it because I enjoy wiping out entire armies and proving either superior doctrines or hillariously karmic defeats are just a roll of the dice.
BUT there is one hill I will fight on: Women cannot be Astartes, even if the original deity was a woman.
Great video with lots of great points. Everyone don't forget your grain of salt
Depression when you're poor is very different from depression when you're rich. Melancholy over a girl hits a lot different when you also have to decide between keeping the lights on or eating for a week. The internet in general and social media in specific has made it much worse, to be fair. It's a challenge to be satisfied with what you have when you see some rich dipshit's kid pouring champagne all over expensive escorts and Instagram models on a yacht somewhere in the Mediterranean sea.
That’s why you can’t lose yourself in comparisons. Someone is always going to have more than you.
Also, people aren’t going to put their problems on social media (well, some do)
And what was Holden Caulfield (required reading in the 60s) but a rich dipshit's kid?
That's whyi cam off instagram.
Envy does nothing to improve your situation or hurt the people you envy. It just traps you.
It's like hate in that regard. Hate doesn't achieve anything positive. It rarely harms the hated more than it harms the hater.
Be the best version of yourself
@@Jbp-tbsh- this fantasy that people last century had things so much better doesn't stand up to much scrutiny. I was born in 79 and being poor in the 80s meant not being able to afford to buy toilet paper or have central heating in your house and sitting in candle light some nights because you couldn't afford money for the electric meter. It meant waking up with ice inside the windows and your breath frosting in the air in your bedroom in winter.
And in my grandparents' generation it meant not having a bathroom in the house and just an outside toilet.
My generation was the first to be pretty much guaranteed a college education (even if we had to pay for it). When my mum was 16 she had to go out and get a job training to be a butcher. She was 18 when i was born and for the first 4 years of my life we lived in a flat that had black mould around the edges of the ceiling and sometimes all she could feed me was bread and sugar because there was nothing else in the cupboards. For the first 8 years of my life corned beef and potatoes was something i thought of as a food for special occasions. Generally all we had was tins of beans, tins of spaghetti and tomato soup (to this day just the smell of tomato soup makes me want to vomit).
And that's in a first world country. It wasn't until the mid-90s that my mum could afford to stock the fridge and freezer (we didn't even have a freezer in the 80s because we couldn't afford a continuous electricity supply) or buy fresh cuts of meat from a butcher or supermarket. Big supermarket chains weren't even really a thing in the area until i was 10 or 11.
Heck, my mum didn't even have a central heating system fitted until after 2000. She had to make do with a coal fireplace in one room as the sole heating fornthe entire house.
I was in/out of therapy, until I realized, talking about trauma over, and over, is like picking at a sore, over and over. The drugs they gave, slowly brought on suicidal ideation. Evil does exist, since the rebellion that took place in Heaven
Try EMDR therapy
I had the exact same issue with therapy and depression pills. It may not work for you the way it did me, but find a friend or lover you can lean on and tell yourself f-it I'll get over it. It never fully goes away, but I've learned to control it over the years.
In psychoanalysis this is called “repetition compulsion,” a component of Thanatos (aka “The Death Drive”).
Serious question: if they were in heaven why did they decide to rebel? I thought that in heaven everybody got everything they wanted?? I don’t understand the logic of the rebels/insurrectionaries.
@@dethkon Because Satan was envious of god and tried to usurp his position. IE Jealousy.
Only 25 people died in Salem witch trial; 19 people had been hanged, 5 people died in custody, and one man was pressed beneath heavy stones until he died. During the European witch burning craze, the best estimates are between 35,000 to 50,000 people were executed.
During the entirety of Southern lynchings only about 4000 people were lynched in almost a century of culturally accepted lynchings.

Antinatalism is also economic. I'm 23 I work a full time job and if i didn't have roommates i literally would not be able to afford rent+utilities+insurance+student loans. If i can't afford to take care of my basic needs how in hell am i gonna take care of kids?

I use to have extreme anxiety and depression. After I stopped hating myself, went to church, and began working towards my goals and not caring what people think well what do you know. It’s gone. I’m more confident and more financially literate. I’m also getting healthier too.
The first step, which is the hardest, I learned was to genuinely love yourself. Without loving yourself you can’t love others.
Yep. That's what used to be called a "come to Jesus" moment.
similar history, I fixed my mental health, libido came back. no more bullshit "dysphoria", dysphoria don't exist, its caused by hormonal imbalances (artificial or not)
Placing God above your self is the antidote to narcissism and all the modern problems it entails.
I can’t force myself to believe in Christ and the stories of the first and second testament tho. I wish I had the faith I feel almost secularly religious as faith is needed for my end of hating myself. Maybe one day God will show himself to me as I’m waiting. Obviously not waiting in a sense of quitting on myself of course.
I am trying to gain self love. I’m not sure it takes a God or not I guess we shall find out. There seems to be plenty of happy secular families out there so I wasn’t sure of this to be the case
@@SmokingDodo If you have even a desire to believe, you'll gain belief at some point. If you want to try it out, in your room tonight you can pray just by talking to God. Nothing formal, just talk to Him about how your life is going right now. It's quite similar to meditation.
You're 100% right.

I'm twenty five years old, I'm single and content with life. No matter what happens we will push forward with courage and confidence. I spend most of my time walking my dog, listening to classical music, opera, 1930s, 40s, 80s music, marching music. I love classical art, classical literature, history and mythology. I don't listen to the media, I just focus on what's important like family, friends and living a good humble life and at some point meeting a lovely lady and starting a family of my own. I think the important thing is to keep calm and carry on, find a balance between technology and the natural world, have good morals values, don't let politics or emotions cloud your judgment and always look at things with an objective and rational view. Feel free to agree or disagree but I thought I'd offer my thoughts on the matter, don't let mental illness or depression get you down. Maybe find a therapist or try something different or find new and exciting hobbies or maybe don't listen to the media all the time, enjoy the beauty of nature and classical art. Broaden your horizons, get a dog to help you and to love, go outside and meet new people.
Good for you, never capitulate to this broken world brother
I am also a 25-year-old trying to make it in this fallen world. I am spiritual but do not go to church. I would like to have a family, but can't afford it, and I have no idea how to get a wife. I am objectively a below average guy so it's depressing thinking about finding a wife. I have very very little to offer a woman at this point in my life.

Incredible!! I am 25 as well and feel the same way 100% you are a smart man most people our age are completely brainwashed or ignorant about these issues and subjects.
Finding a religion has changed my life and now I look around and see broken, lost, lonely people filling our society. To think we can build a human society without faith is childish. Were we really naïve enough to think religion served no purpose?
Even atheists have faith....but most lack the moral codes and values that are supposed to come with it.
I can understand the purpose religion served, but I don’t think I can be religious. I don’t believe the universe has a sentient creator, and as much as that idea may be comforting to believe I can’t force myself to believe something. Religious texts aren’t sufficient evidence. A lack of scientific knowledge around the very beginning of the universe isn’t sufficient evidence for me either. So I can’t believe.
@bananewane1402 Religion isn't the only way. I believe in making the world a little better in my own small way. Whether it's with sharing and creating uplifting art, being friendly and decent to people, being a good partner and friend, etc. Coincidentally, most religions behave very similarly, but again you don't have to be religious to have a positive impact on the people and world around you

It is pretty good, yes. I also enjoyed the whole video thoroughly, but I'm not agreeing with about 20-30 percent that I think is mostly influenced by his American upbringing and terrible schooling. We in Europe are just better educated overall. Schools are very important and they've been failing Americans for half a century or more. It is the extreme capitalism, too, No social policies and demonising communism. Some ideas from communism are really good.
Look up Bolshivism. Read about Stalin.
Find videos with warnings from ex KGB, Uri Bezmenov (may have misspelled his name). He was trying to warn us since the 1980s. There's a plan in place that has been progressing since at least then.
Capitalism has not existed here for quite a while. The praising of communism is part of the plan to complete the world order that the "elites" want. A two class society. The haves (them) and the have nots (everybody else). They will use technology to control everyone and everything. They have said that they can now hack a human and free will is a thing of the past. Also,You will own nothing and be happy. They will deny your access to anything they want, including food. All based on arbitrary rules that they make up on the fly and interpret how they want.

@@dddux Which social policies
This channel is ALWAYS interesting. The only thing I would add is that, IMHO, the thing that led to the greatest breakdown in mental health was the lack of a "stay at home" parent. Since both parents need to work to make it in the US, children are being raised by people with mixed motivations. Parents may not be perfect but they generally want to give their kids the tools and knowledge to do well in society with no other objective or goal in mind. When kids are raised by the Internet or people with mixed objectives, they are weaker for it. They are always pushed to side with a viewpoint without anyone reinforcing their ability to rise above the chatter and chart their own course. If your primary feeling of acceptance comes from "likes" on the Internet then you are totally screwed.
My business has over the years taken me more into the poorer black areas of my city. And there is only ONE group that has prevented the crash into total anarchistic animality: the grandmothers!
@@wynnschaible Yep. That counts as a "stay at home" parent/grandparent
@@psoltanFar be it from me (being one) to discount the influence of grandparents in any way, but to count it as the same as a stay at home parent (preferably mom) is an abuse of statistics. Although there are cultures in Africa where mom does not become the primary childraiser until the third kid.
It's the lack of proper integration, we keep removing things kids previously had access to, and then continually push it to the age of adulthood, which now, when you reach, dumps on you like a pallet of bricks. Last time i checked the definition of preparation being completely blindsided is not preparation.
It's not parents, it how we as a society raise our children.
@@killingtimeitself Helicopter parenting is a big problem. But so are neighborhoods without un-adult-used kid-available spaces. Not to speak of geographical compartmentalization so extreme that the kid has to be driven everywhere. No, this doesn't apply in our cities but there you've got a safety problem.
This couldn't be more spot-on or timely in relation to a recent trip I had to an average American city. Shouting and banging at all hours of the night in the hotel, multiple attempts to get into my room by people apparently incapable of reading a room number, endless drag racing on the street outside until 5 am, ranting and raving lunatics threatening themselves and others in a local park, the mindless drones at a local university tour spouting diversity and inclusion drivel while rattling off ridiculous land acknowledgements, the homeless dodging high speed traffic as they shuffled across the highway.
If one takes a moment to step outside themselves and their modern brain that has normalized all this, it becomes readily apparent as to just how insane our society really is. There was madness all around me that seemingly nobody noticed, but everyone was reacting to.

It's hard not to be completely black pilled by your videos, but some how, for some weird reason I always come away feeling better. There is comfort too in not being completely ignorant to our current reality. I feel much less anxious.
It’s comforting to know that others feel and see things in a similar way. If enough people do maybe things will begin to change for the better?
@@abby42525This kind of content is out there, but the unfortunate reality is most will never find it unless they are looking. Most will just drift in a sea of conformity and propaganda, and believe only what is presented right to their face. Some people, like myself, are naturally independent and naturally will question the status quo and the face value of things. Others have to reach a crisis and seek it out themselves. Many never will. They will just be happy in their ignorance. After all, ignorance is bliss. Living a life of questioning everything and going against the grain isn't any easy life, but I couldn't have it any other way. Some people are born "pilled", others have to find the pill, lest they find themselves just mindless followers of pop culture and a shallow existence.
It makes me feel better in knowing that my misery isn't always my fault
Here's to the lost and the damned, the forgotten and maligned.
It is through Perdition we know ourselves, it is through adversity a man is defined.
It is through studying my errors, I appreciate the nature of the truth.
It is through confronting my terrors, I find the conviction to see me through.
A history teacher of mine once said, "If you're a steel-worker in PA and an economic downturn hits... you can take all the personal responsibility you want to. You're still losing your job."
If there's one thing that we Americans are astoundingly accomplished at, it is blaming the individual for society's problems.
Damn, as a 24-year-old depressed & anxious ex-Christian, you may have convinced me to go back to church. I never stopped believing in God, but I did stop believing in religion and reading my Bible. I've been stuck in this rut where my mental state gets real bad and I coerce myself out of it through other (ie: unhealthy) means. Then, when said unhealthy habits stop working, I crash back down to the depths. The last time I felt I was okay was when I read my Bible everyday and went to Bible study. I had community and a text that, while I never fully believed it all, kept me sane in a way. I'd rather be religious with Jesus on my mind all the time than extremely depressed with cyclical thoughts of self-deletion.
doesn't necessaraly need to be church just have a place and community you can belong, and if don't fit in at the first one, keep trying till you get it, persistance is the key to victory (as long as you try many distinct ways)
Church and the discipline of practicing faith with a community has transformed my life. I had to stop listening to our dominant society
You don't find God in Church.
You find God through contemplation.
Going back to church won't cure anxiety, facing your anxiety with the faith and conviction you gain from within will cure your anxiety.
Definitely read your Bible and pray again but going back to church might disappoint you…

I'm a teacher as well, except I teach English. I got into teaching because I wanted to work with teens and help them develop critical thinking skills. I got a swift kick of reality when I actually started teaching, though. I teach virtually this year (thank God), but last year when I was in-person, I was more of a prison warden than a teacher. Public school is a complete joke nowadays.
@@josephkelly6681 Unfortunately, it applies to everyone. Think of your own quickness to post that, how your social circles have encouraged that as an immediate response, and then that there's a proportionately high degree of introspection in your social circles. And then remember that these are kids, who will blithely run out in front of cars for lack of fear, and who don't really think properly. Then stack social media designed to kill/immiserate them on top of that.
Unfortunately for us all, this cannot simply be reduced to race.
I’m combat veteran, my PTSD was debilitative for close to 15 years. I got talk therapy to work, CPT, and exposure therapy. That got me to the point where you seem to be, based on your descriptions. I went on, and did the yoga program at the Sattva yoga Academy, it taught me how to get control over my physical symptoms again. It’s possible to gain control of your body back. It’s a physical practice.

I almost completely agree Rudyard. Up until 5 months ago, I only had some very basic anxiety occasionally and also have been suffering from constant Derealization/Depersonalization for 7 years. It’s never let up, but I learned to live with it. I went out to live my dreams just 5 months ago and had massive panic attacks and became a Hypochondriac and reality questioner over night. Literally, over night. I fell asleep and woke up the next day with intrusive thoughts, intensive fear over dying and disease, and thought I had rabies for a while. Which then switched to cancer, then locked in syndrome, etc etc. I used to be full of life and the daredevil. Always willing to affirm life and kick its ass. Out of nowhere, I developed these issues. The point is, that everyone has a cracking point. I don’t know why I cracked, but I can tell you right now I don’t think I would be if I lived in a healthy time. I’m only 22, I just pray that my anxiety doesn’t last like my derealization has. Just always remember life is a gift, never ever be suicidal because you’ll be dead soon enough anyways. You have all of eternity to be gone, and only such a beautiful short amount of time on this wonderful rock. Love one another, be humble, and find the Lord. God bless to anyone who might take the time to read this.
God bless you too.
Derealization is a bitch brother
Damn, I do not even understand what you are talking about..... Derealization? WTF?
Please explain what does "Derealization/Depersonalization" and " I went out to live my dreams" mean.
Love you too bro. I have had crippling OCD that has really ruined the last 2 years of my life. Every waking morning, every lonely night, just thinking and thinking and thinking. It has effected grades, work, social life, family, everything. Life is all you have. Life is all there is. You gotta live with it. I always tell myself “Just be”. Be mindful. Be conscious of your desires and your thoughts. You are not your thoughts. You are not your feelings. As a 20 year old, this keeps me going every day. It works for me (most of the time), so it might work for you. Let me know your thoughts.
@@gctechs Descriptions vary, but derealization is generally the persistent feeling that the world is less than 'real', like one is permanently in a dream world.
Depersonalization is similar applied to oneself, feeling like one is just an observer watching a body in their place move around.
I think you’re right that a sort of psychological hygiene is important on levels beyond an individual person. You can’t expect most ppl to just behave and think correctly when all of their peers and culture are encouraging them otherwise. We need to help ppl know how to recognize and resist bad ideas as well as nurture larger environments conducive to better mental health. It’s not a fix all but I really think more people being pushed by circumstance to spend time face to face with others in a context that’s caring and respectful would lead to more people being kind and grounded to others.
The problem is anyone with the will and knowhow to social engineer on that scale has probably got other priorities.

48:51 we are the “mice” ever heard of the “human experiment” sounds familiar
I’ve only gotten about thirty minutes into the video before writing this, but when I see how miserable my life can be(20 white college educated man, single, well read, currently bordering on near insanity from social isolation and extensive drug use that’s addled my brain, addled by relatively extensive trauma, very few close friends, usually go months without having sex yet I’ve had sex more than the vast majority of men in my age group) I find that there’s truly no way to not let the melancholy and bleakness of modern life affect you, besides ignorance and faux-positivism. Faux positivism is worse than the abyss. It is a lie. Ignorance is just ignorance. As stated in the blurb, recently I’ve been bordering, and perhaps sliding into insanity. My mind hasn’t been working correctly and a decent chunk of the time I’m not lucid. This morning I felt extremely nervous, nauseous, paranoid, and dissociated. Occasionally I have moments of near schizophrenia, (hallucinations, voices, irrationality). Living in this world truly kills, though I wouldn’t refer to it as “late stage capitalism” as I feel it’s a doomsday term, the current capitalist system has destroyed society and alienated everyone. The family today is not a close group, my experience with family is sadly the normal. Though my home isn’t broken, my parents teeter between reluctant cohabitation and not speaking to each other for weeks on end. My mother and father both, at multiple points in time have left major psychological impacts on my psyche that have blossomed into major hindrances of my life, and when I compare my experience with others mine is way better than most.
Let’s face it, communities today are lame and shallow and do not fulfill any aspect of the inner soul. They’re built on shallow ideals, and are incredibly ineffective as they usually boil down to “you should just be positive”. Positivity and optimism are another form of opium for the masses. Sincerity is the answer, in my opinion and experience. Being sincere to the people who are in your life and building relationships that are worth having will save you whilst also accepting, as ugly as this truth is, your life can very well continue in the relative misery it has been defined by.
I’m not gonna say that romantic love is dead, but it’s not faring well and is in rough shape. There is no blueprint for this, humans are randomly evolved animals, consciousness is a coincidence. Before self determination in romantic relationships, most women were subjected to daily rapes by someone they were forced to marry. However, in the same way that communities are lame and shallow and possess little to nothing, so are most relationships. Many are about satisfying sexual urges. Many are right place right time and have very little substance. Many are because of trends(see tik tok trends for tall skinny boyfriends, white women dating black men(further footnote: I am not espousing racist views with this, plenty of white women date black men for the trend, look at any college campus)). Love isn’t preordained either, there isn’t someone just waiting there for you. There are no stars that align, there is no fate. There is simply coincidence, and to be happy you have to take those chances. For example, I’m currently in a partnership, however it’s a near entirely online thing. I’ve seen her in person once. The first chance I get I will take it with her, because she is very important to me and having her in my life makes it that much better.
The final thing that I will say is crucial for not putting a bullet in your head is abandoning expectations and hope. Our generation was sold a false bill of goods in childhood, and since pretty much most aspects of western(I’m an American so this may be different) culture are built off of an either constant living in or a nostalgia of childhood, when the world doesn’t line up to our childish ideals, everything falls apart or we choose to delude ourselves and continue living in this faux world. Abandon those expectations, even abandon the idea that you will be happy and you will lose about half of the desire to kill yourself.
I think there also needs to be major studies on how entertainment has affected the modern mind.

Find a good church, there you will find good friends, a good God, meaning and the love of Jesus. Tell me where you live and I'll look one up for you. All you hope for can be found there. You'll still have hard times and suffering, believe me, my baby was born 4 months early had two brain bleeds and we were in hospital for 6 months, it was hard but God healed her and she's able to walk and talk in two languages at 1.5 years old and the doctors are amazed. But the suffering was huge but with Jesus the meaning was bigger.
The love you get from a good church family is like none other. They'll pray for you, feed you when you're down, but you'll need to be open to them. Then what's more you'll feed and heal others too once you are strong and then the real meaning comes in. Everything you do good becomes eternal. Your deeds you do to others are like you did them to God himself and what more could have meaning and purpose, strength and power than that?
I'd love to help you find a church and I'll sincerely pray for you to find the Prince of Peace and God of love so you too can have the peace and love I feel which you so long for my friend.

I would disagree with you on one thing in a minor way. I do not think that war is a NECESSARY part of the human condition. I'd say it is an UNAVOIDABLE part of the human condition. Subtle difference.
The pipeline goes like so:
First one realizes that some behaviors are no different from demonic possession
Then one realizes that what causes of these behaviors (demons), more often than not, is breaking ancient teachings
Ten one realizes that to cure these behaviors (demons), more often than not, is ancient purification rituals (such as commune, generosity, schedule, exercise, pray/meditation... will these cure schizophrenia? No. Will it help? Yes.)
Then one realizes that a certain section of the population is incentivizing the silencing of the teaching and abolishment of the rituals.
Then you realize there is no technical differentiation between this section of the population to old school demon cultists.
Then you start looking at the past and realize these certain section is constant thought-out history, all across the globe.
The last realization is the hardest one, it's when you understand that it's not equivalent to demons, but literal demons. This is what the teachings were about all along. Fools that we are to forget it

Bro just accurately diagnosed modern society with suicidal depression, banger
I'm 24, and the points you made about Gen Z being super messed up mentally are 100% true. Every person I know in my age group has anxiety and/or depression or something else, and I lost one of my best friends to suicide last year because of it. She struggled with since childhood, as did another one of my friends, and their parents put them on meds and therapy before they'd even become teenagers which only made things worse. I was raised by a single mom who fits the definition of a helicopter parent imo, but even then, she's the least overprotective out of all of my friends' parents. My friends are all in our 20s, and yet their parents still have such tight controls over their lives. One of my friends is only allowed to go out once a week to hang out with us. Another one of my friends isn't allowed to hang out one on one with me since I'm a guy and she's a girl (even though I'm gay). Another of my friends gets a phone call at least once from her mom or grandparents every time we go out to make sure she's okay, and her parents freak out if she's back home after 11PM and will stay up for her to come back. Another one of my friends isn't allowed to use Discord or make friends with people he doesn't know online. And like I said, none of us are kids or even teenagers. We're all in our 20s and yet their parents still treat them like they're children. It's crazy.
There's been a trend of people infantilizing adults for a long time.
I remember that in the 90s people would say, "You're almost an adult now" to people who were 15 and 16. I heard that a lot growing up. I now see people say, "You're still basically a child" to people in their mid-20s.
Now, there was still a lot of the type of behavior you describe (overprotective and overbearing parents), but there was still a sense that your teens were basically preparing you for adulthood, but now your 20s are basically another version of your late teens.

Half the issues you go over don't really exist here in Alaska (with the exception of Anchorage) we are united as a community, our church is each other, and we are simultaneously self reliant on an industrial scale. We have thriving industry, but also a rich culture of art, music, some of the most outdoor loving culture on Earth. Our artists are pro gun and our hunters are pro environment. Our young men and women might not have the night life club life here, but they are far more stable and happy here, and they have purpose...and most importantly, due to social cohesion, we have social mobility. We have more natural resources here than any place on earth, and we know our land, making it a defenders paradise. We can feed ourselves and are primed to make trade with the survivors of any future calamity. So while this problem might affect the lower 48 like a plauge, and we definitely have issues here, we are in a vastly better position than almost any other place on Earth.

A good analogy to traditional demons are addictions. You establish a ritualistic behavior tied to reducing anxiety. It helps you relax at first. Then, something happens to you that makes you anxious, and without thinking, you pick up the ritualized behavior to reduce your anxiety. You don't even thinking about stopping yourself. Over time, once this pattern starts interfering in your life in a significant way and you start to create space between the impulse and the ritualized behavior pattern, you realize you are not in as much control of yourself as you'd like. So you could say that an addiction is a demon, because it is distracting you from who you want to be. The addiction takes over without you thinking about it and it takes incredible effort to break out of an addiction.
Addiction, aside from the physical part, seems to be a way to step out of time.
Even though they are physically addicted and should crave any nicotine available, smokers want their own brand of their own form of tobacco. They want a moment that feels exactly like every other moment they spent smoking.
That thought makes me incredibly anxious

I went to school for Psychology. It was really the only subject that I ever excelled at. I didn't complete my degree because I couldn't afford it. One of my professors through my years of study paid me compliment saying that I had a PHD level of understanding. So as a Christmas present I received the DSM-5. I sat down with my professor after class and we excitedly started pouring over the material. Our excitement turned to sorrow rather quickly. I still help out my younger friends with their psych homework for fun. It's sad to see what they don't even teach anymore. Many of the questions on their quizzes and exams aren't even psychological in nature, but rather political. In addition Jungian psychology is rapidly becoming ignored and replaced with Marxist ideologies.
Good video. Like your analysis.
Just curious. Do you think Jung’s viewpoint on psychology is the most truthful one? I just wanna find out more on this kind of thing.
@@CrewComedy I don't know about most truthful, given the clinical side of psychology and the specialists who've worked solely from that perspective, but in my opinion, Wundt and Freud made the ingot, Jung was the blacksmith who made the ingot into so much more.
His works are, in the very least, worth the read. I hope that answers your question.
Yeah you wanna know WHY we're seeing Marxist shit show up more and more often?
Because capitalism is failing to make good on its promises to people now. Today's adults and young adults work harder for less compensation than their parents and grand parents by a huge margin. Everything is rapidly becoming unaffordable. Nothing substantial is being done about the climate crisis that has already spiralled beyond worst case estimates and we will be LUCKY if we can roll out some miracle carbon capture technology THIS YEAR just to keep global temperatures AT 2.5c by 2060 (at 2.5c, I should remind you, we're looking at regular wet bulb events and a 60% loss of arable land for growing food. The borders of wealthy nations are going to look like a zombie apocalypse with all the refugees being gunned down by machine gun nests).
And what little these adults stand to inherit from their boomer parents and grand parents is rapidly being sucked away by the overpriced and under regulated medical-pharmacological industry as the aging boomers require more and more healthcare to extend their lives and deal with the failings of their aging biology.
And let's not forget how school has become exorbitantly expensive. In order to get a job that pays 60k a year you need a 200k degree that will not guarantee you even get a job in your chosen field. Nevermind that it is a common business practice to demand industry veteran levels of experience for entry level positions assuming the companies in question aren't just fake posting those job ads to keep the government off their back, with zero intention to hire anyone because they already abuse immigrant worker status visas or straight up illegal aliens to do their labor for them.
Jungian psychology ain't gonna pay anyone's out of control rent. Is it really a surprise popular sentiment is now turning against the system that betrayed them and support for a theoretical system that promises redistribution of wealth?
You're better positioned to help people as a friend or neighbor because if you're licensed you will be pressured to do all sorts of things that are counterproductive at best.
My story is similar. I did finish my degree in communications because it was the quickest and cheapest once I figured out a path to graduation.
I didn't care so much for psychology, but I went crazy for sociology and economics. It's always been my passion. I have a knack for understanding societal relationships, opportunity costs, economic motivations, and foreseeing unintended consequences.

One great thing about reaching your 40's is you no longer give a crap what other people think. Does wonders for your mental well being when you never worry about "fitting in" or impressing others. Outside of my own family, my customers are about the only people i actually care about what opinion they have because i want them to be happy with my service and come back so i continue to be employed in a job i like. Most of my former "friends" can pound sand. If they don't like my political views, my general beliefs, or my warped sense of humor, too bad. I kept the handful of good ones around. Other than them its just family and work. Sounds boring, but it does clear the mind quite a bit.
Yup, I wish I had the mentality I have now than the one I had in my 20s-30s
If I take your advice and stop caring what other people think. I'd run the risk of not caring what *you* thought, and if I lived my life in a way you disapprove of, I'd obviously be part of the problem.
So of course then I have to care what other people think in order to care what you think and make sure I do the right thing. But if I care what others think, I'm obviously back to being affected by whether completely different strangers on the internet think I'm a bigot for disagreeing with them; I clearly can't be worried about that. So then I go back to not caring what others think, and I'm back to possibly disagreeing with you and the cycle continues.
I've never worried about fitting in, so I'm not one to talk
but humans need a functioning society they believe in, and from which they can accept moral judgement and course correct
this whole thing where moral people are just disconnecting from society because it's so far gone is not at all sustainable
@@justinhart2831 You alone decide what is right using the info available to you, his advice is just new info to add to the stack, you still have to make the decision yourself. What people think does not come into the equation when deciding what the right thing to do is. What you SHOULD do, yeah then you have to take others opinions (like that of the police) into account. But what's RIGHT is immutable.
@@xANTHQNY That sounds like a reasonable way to look at it. I'm just so tired of feeling like I'm the only person on earth who doesn't have complete moral clarity about every issue, and feeling like I'm scum because of it.
Turns out killing God has consequences. Who'd have guessed?
