All of this seems based on the premise that the only value available is succumbing to the primate-level social element of humanity and agreeing that your happiness, survival and value are in everyone else's hands and up to them to determine. If you are an extrovert or otherwise socially-needy, that may be sadly true for you. And if any of these 6 things are true of you then, yes, you are probably one of these people. But there are people for whom the other option for personal growth is to improve yourself independently and become more self-sufficient so that your needs are not in the hands of the hordes or their opinions of you. And it is not just human animals whose benefit is a worthy pursuit. If you bring value to any living thing on this planet, especially animals that are less driven by the unimpressive truths this video paints about humans, that is probably of higher and purer value and meaning, and is therefore often more fulfilling than simply transactional. Presuming that all your happiness will be brought by winning the girl, impressing the boss, becoming popular or famous among the masses of people you don't even know, etc... that is another game your mind plays on you and it satisfies almost no-one who pursues those things under the hope those things will be the solution to their problems. Be a better and happier you without needing the girl or the praise, offer important things to species to whom the rest of humanity is essentially cancerous, and develop the ability to independently create your own happiness and self-fulfillment. If this doesn't make sense to you or your brain reacts with the same kinds of excuses as this video describes for the social-credit realm of "self improvement", then good luck to you. Because you won't end up with the pay-off you're aiming for by trying to convince everyone else to appreciate you for stuff you do only to gain that appreciation.

Did not make me upset since nothing you stated wrong really at all. They were all things I knew already but not always put into practice effectively enough

No fat, salt or sugar added. Thank you so much for all the efforts in the making of your presentation. That subject is just where the tire meets the road.

Damn, it should really be mandatory to watch your videos in schools cuz I can't even imagine how better the world would be if everyone watches those

This all only applies to the ego... ... if you live by the ego and for the ego, then, yes, this is how it will all be for you. But the ego is not the real you, and this shallow transactional manipulation you describe is not the only experience of life possible. Rather than learning to play the game at the level of ego, do the work to clear the ego, and live a life truly free and fulfilled within. :)

Im surprised this is considered new info.I thought everyone knew this

I am so pissed off! I better be better soon! ;)

Mechanics are more valuable than the unemployed.... I dunno that's a close one, depends if I want the cat out or back in 😂😂😂

Well now I'm retired and self sufficient, everyone can get Stuffed.

I recognize myself in some of the attitudes presented. However, I don't feel offended or angry at all. I appreciate being told the truth about myself. THANKS!

You just restated what I've always believed, that all human interactions are basically selfish and will never occur unless it benefited one or both parties. Think deeply about even the nicest human interaction or behavior and you will find a self component to each and every one of them. I suppose that is why I have so few friends right now, because I know that they will just use me until I dry up and then dump me in search of a new victim to bleed dry. What hurts the most is that I frequently found these kind of people in church.

This was a very interesting video. Thanks for the life advice :)

Being impressed by myself is not a possibility. It is only through external observations that a person could seem to be impressive to another. If one is impressed by themselves it would be narcissistic at best.

this vid hit the reality to me😢

Really good.

Great job! Looking forward to more

Let me ask questions: When you hone and use your skills to provide quality work you are proud to share, that people congratulate you for even: was it the right thing to feel better? But then some other people asks you to change everything to fit their agenda, disregarding your expertise on the subject (and not taking no for an answer): are we allowed to complain, or is it yet another excuse? When you go beyond being a good listener and use your knowledge and humor to help someone you have feelings for: is it the right thing to be proud? But you still get the friend/brotherly love treatment after all that : should you be happy that it is at least a form of love? If the attempt to help generated hatred instead, break a friendship and put you in a situation you question yourself: what do you do? If you have no grand ambition but being a frugal yet reliable father: do you have to betray your needs to fit the needs of others?

Impressively well to the point.

A very useful piece of advice. I gave up doing anything for the community several years ago for two reasons. It made no difference to anyone. Second, we have a welfare government and they should do their work. If I find anything to be set right, I approach the right people in the government, and, 90percent of the time, the job gets done. I paint well, write well, edit learned papers and am a fitness freak. I know now that people watch me closely. So far, several of them have told me that they look up to me as a source of inspiration without really knowing anything about me beyond what they can observe. That inspires me to live a blameless private life. How do you explain these phenomena.

This should be required viewing in high school.

This video reads like a recipe for happiness with yourself and others, if you follow it.

Good content. Not a wise choice using a computerised voice though. This sort of content needs a human touch😊

Brilliant. Very appreciated. Sharing it with friends and family.

I’m trying to buy a sailboat. Real estate is a shambles; this is the only option left for a home to build. SHIIIT! It’s a fuckin’ BUGOUT

EXCUSE me MR A_Hole - Absolutely loved your vid, This is a really deep thought provoking vid. Time for a change people WAke up & be useful 😍😘

I'm a trash collector, so what would I think about myself according to these values accepted by society? I tell you what, imagine one of those big cities like Los Angeles or any other, not having waste collect for one week. All those important people with their fancy titles and things would sink in their own $hit. At the end, all of this is nothing but states of mind. And now here it goes the cliche; we're all nothing but dust.

Love it I think everyone should take this advice

I knew that at age 5, but it took me a few decades to understand that very few others do 😄

This is why I always think these "You are enough" quotes are nonsense.

Amazing!

Gunshot wound? Stop the bleeding and wait for the ambulance. Do not operate in the street.

There's one thing about this bit of that I disagree with. I didn't hate it I loved it it's great! For the five things that I picked to start the video all of them are real projects that are currently serving mankind. To name two, one is a bridge built out of discarded scrap steel the saved my friend $30,000.00. The other is an specialized electric vehicle that sold for $12,000.00 People around me can't understand why I am offered given unique opportunities and privilege, the simple way to understand this is, what unique privilege would you offer me if I could facilitate you achieving a lifetime goal while saving you $30,000? By the way the people he talks about that constantly put you down, in my case predict that the bridge is going to fall down any day now and they been predicting this for over a decade.😂 Not that any of this is new the whole idea of this video can be found in the New testament where James the brother of Christ talks about don't pray for your brother, go help your brother and then pray for him. Of course many of those who hold the Bible to be holy, refer to James Epistle as the Epistle of straw.

“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” Robert A Heinlein

Sounds like dialectic materialism

5:45 "What do you do?" Ahoy !! You get a parrot for your shoulder and learn to sail, because the girl in the bookstore has a peg leg (for some reason) so she would totally dig a pirate!

Complainer are people who are scared to try because they are scared to fail!

Ye shall have no other gods before me nor serve them or bow down to them😏

Just show them how wonderful you are. All you gotta do

This made such little sense and is so absurd that I can't get past 5 minutes. It seems like the creator hates himself and humanity. I hoped to learn something. Is it over my head?

Oh l look forward to this video to see if l get triggered :-)))

Okay but does everybody have to be a surgeon? How often is somebody bleeding out on the street? I still find this to be very subjective. Every situation is different, and I don’t think you truly have to be some societal conformist in order to be loved or appreciated. Someone is a surgeon? Okay! Great, but to me that doesn’t make them any more interesting than a janitor

The bottom line is, people are selfish and don't appreciate what you do for them most of the times. That why you need to have a price for what you do and charge it. By charging, the appreciation automatically comes in from the start.😅

Amazing....at some point almost any subject has to have some pejorative statement about communism.

It's not the Video that is bad, it's the Way of the World !!!! I don't value people's opinions and I am Happy on my own with my 2 Dogs !!!! Also I am not going to be somebody's Slave !!!! I have always sorted my own problems out and have learnt how to repair everything that goes Wrong !!!! Running round in Circles after everyone will turn you intho an idiot !!!! Being married will turn a Man into a Brainless Idiot !!!! That's why I have always stayed Single !!!

is this an AI voice? Not trying to be rude if you're not, but it sounds very robotic.

A couple vids now...what's the deal with the chicks having cyborg legs?

Man you had some other good videos, but this us some SUPER BASIC STUFF that people know. Its just put in a way to make it seem like it's Smart or superior knowledge. This channel has good videos, but this not one of them. Basically, don't try to pass off basic stuff as "being deep."

Aimed at incels losers. If you not one, this will be boring and meaningless.

This is just a collection of German values and wake up calls for incels....

The video should be retitled: The Road to Serfdom - 6 lies Capitalists Want You to Believe That They Don’t Believe Themselves. 😂😂
