Money increases happiness up to the point that you can afford the things you need and don't have to break yourself to save for the things you want and then it rapidly decreases the more you have after that.

Leah Davis Money can help you gain happiness but money doesn’t = happiness

@indp. iv exactly. There's been numerous psychology studies that show that money can increase happiness only to a certain point. Like if your money brings you out of poverty then of course it can make you happier, but after making a certain income, it no longer has an affect on happiness.

It’s not a cult it’s just a scam

Reminds me of Amway. My college roommates were in Amway, aka pyramid scheme and very much a cult. And there were a lot of people telling my roommates to drop out of school. One of them got very sick, like in and out of the hospital having surgery sick. She decided that something in her life needed to go so she could continue seeing doctors, while also continuing her masters, and her job as a TA. Her upline kept telling her to drop out, then switched to telling her she didn’t really need to go to the doctor. They did a lot of weird culty things. But the quitting their jobs, quitting school, thing was thrown around A LOT.

“Thought leader” like wtf

I fired my boss as Father Jake hath wanted and now I am without employment, but it's ok I'm sure the money will come flowing in soon :^D

Yes I noticed that! I literally paused the video and took a moment when he said that.

that intro was top notch. imagine being a person who's never watched kurtis for this to be their first video.

👍👍

Lmfao lmfao im dying 💀

PERIOD

also because the current system means some people are born rich, while others have to claw their way up to not being destitute

And then JP also managed to get a contract with Disney for one of their cheap crap teen shows, which he also managed to get himself fired off of.

We also have that in Brazil. Which is the case with Felipe and Luccas Neto. Felipe was gaining a crap ton of fame, which he deserved, he had a style that was preety close to Kurtis' with the commentary videos and then his brother started a KZfaq channel that also gained a lot of fame. I'm not saying his brother is untalented today, because he has like 7 kids movies on Netflix, a load of toys and merch in circulation, and is one of the biggest names in Brazilian kid's KZfaq, but in the beginning of his channel, it was preety crappy. Now the both of them have a couple of the highest subscription counts in the world, and Felipe was on the new york times' 100 most influential people in the world. Anyway, I just like sharing random Brazilian trivia

@@kalreynolds5829 imagine being fired from a show that nobody watches and what's worse is he's not even the lead actor in it.

@@farlonmuentes6004 Truly a spectacular performance. That's why they're such scum with their fake course nonsense, they're failing upwards. They already had money, they came from money, that's how they get more of it. Getting dropped by DIsney doesn't matter, because they already had money. And they got that money from having money. Thank god we were spared a Paul going full Ariana Grande and actually becoming a success off of Disney. For once, I feel I don't live in the darkest timeline.

@@futurehofer1564 You can make alot of money from Anthropology though. And it's interesting too.

If your goal is to have a lot of money then he is smarter. If you think about Overall intelligence then ofc not

@@lailapachkov8006 I mean he makes videos for children. It doesn't take a genius to know they're the biggest demographic, therefore the most profitable. It's the way the movie industry has been for years, and a large portion of the entertainment industry in general. He should be grateful for whoever took him out of Ohio and got him on Disney. That could have happened to any white-bread kid from middle-America with mild good looks. So it's a combination of luck and someone else's good business decisions that led him where he is today. Which is scraping the bottom of the barrel, ethically and artistically. If he was smart, he would've just stayed on Disney until a better project came up to propel him. Either that or he could've done the same thing he's doing now, but instead of being an asshole and a bad example to kids across the nation, he could be setting a good example, even if it's fake and not who he is. He's already choked out his morals, so he'd benefit more from portraying a positive, chill or fun role model for kids. That way he'd get way more brand deals and he'd easily make friends with the big brands and rub shoulders with industry giants by now. He'd be everywhere, brands would be fighting over getting him on their products and ads. Which is why you probably saw him everywhere more like 3 years ago when he was still that guy and still working for disney. I remember seeing some of his modeling photos on the back of a menu at downtown Disney around 2017 lol instead he took bieber and miley's career path and sped it up by x10

unicornalq11 the thing is i wouldnt define intelligence over how much you know, but more about how good you are at learning and adapting to things, intelligence is more the ability to gain knowledge than the knowlegde itself, but i also dont think that jake has a lot of that ability tbh

Me, someone who has never written any sort of fanfic: *seriously contemplates writing a short story about this*

@@soapthesoap do ittttt

thinking of shocking my 70 wattpad followers (even tho i restart my whole acc lol) who only knows me bcs of my serious bl ff with kurtis x chair satire ff...

kurtis always felt tied to his chair. this made sense, since he was a youtuber- a lot of his time was spent in this chair, filming, scriptwriting, editing -it was part of his job to sit in this chair. this is also true for many other people. many jobs involve sitting still for extended periods of time, and kurtis was glad that he knew for sure that there would always be some people who related to this part of his life. perhaps less relatable, however, was the fact that this chair talked. kurtis supposed the chair was infatuated with him, for a reason known by no one except the chair itself. when he was away, its voice haunted his thoughts, constantly asking, begging to be sat on. needless to say, it was off-putting. he tried his best to ignore it at first. as that proved to be increasingly difficult, he would then start to strike up conversation with the chair. this, however, always resulted in a confusing and unpleasant experience. kurtis learned things he knew he was never meant to learn. as you can imagine, he soon became tired of this chair. one night, while all the world was quiet and the sky appeared as deep as the ocean, he dragged the chair out of his house, wrapped and tied up inside a large garbage bag, and drove away with it as far as he could. he dropped it off on the side of a road somewhere he was glad he didn't remember.

stinky rat kid Jake does have to “work” a lot to keep his position on KZfaq.

@@grahamturner2640 so hes a shit ass

Successful people don't sell courses. You don't see Warren Buffet selling "secrets to getting rich quick", people who sell these kinds of courses arent very successful to begin with. Jake Paul isn't making as much money as he used to, that's why he's constantly coming up with these schemes.

In his world other forms of income don’t exist

Right? People like him are why they call us that lmao

Well we do, just as the next generation deserves even more than that and so on.

He'd be insuffarable. I bet when he was kicked out from Disney he said that he "went to achieve his passion projects".

Not really. Shitting on low paying with little to no insurance slave jobs isn't "not understanding the working class" you capitalistic pig. With ai we could actually have a system where people don't have to be slaves for basic needs, food and mediocre health care. But ofc such thing doesn't benefit the geographic division of the world into separate countries, nor capitalistic corporations. It only benefits the working class and people in poverty. But who gives a shit about that right? Some people are fine with their jobs, so that means that the situation is perfectly fine. Just like people used to be fine with 12-18 hour jobs and didn't agree with the may first revolution. There were people in the working class thinking this revolution was done by entitled shits who "don't know what the actual working class needs" too.

Jake Paul obviously doesn't really care about people, however the statements were 100% correct. Judging the statements is different than judging him for saying things he doesn't truly believe

@Idontknow Wholam Why did you call them a capitalistic pig, just to go on some inane rant about something you obviously have surface-level knowledge of? You realize the best way to convince someone that their current system is flawed isn't by childishly insulting them, right?

Hecking Bamboozled actually I don’t know about that. The best way is to make them realize the different contradictions of the system and it’s harm to the majority of people.

Jake Paul has a huge ego, and it doesn't permit him to admit that he got famous on pure chance or that he makes content for 8 year olds. He keeps trying to make these unsuccessful "business" moves that are about 15 years out of his demographic age range, and they have to be costing him money when you consider effort/time/getting websites coded/graphic design/etc etc vs his more popular videos. And yet he keeps trying! He just cannot accept that he isn't a psychological genius that cracked the success code, and that his child fand give zero shits about it.

I‘m scared for this generation of kids tbh

(I’m talking about how school was before quarantine) Honestly it’s terrifying and it makes kids hold such entitlement that they shouldn’t hold like since I don’t hav a middle school I’m gonna be in 8th grade in a school with his demographic and being around them is so exhausting, they will constantly just call u a hater whenever u ask them to quiet down in a library or they just mock u and then ur always told that u should know better if u ask them more than once, they refuse anything from everyone by just calling them haters and it’s so stressful. Whenever u ask them what they want to be when they grow up the most responses I’ve gotten is youtuber and they always expect that their gonna be as big as Jake or someone like him and it’s almost crushing when u realize how much they’ve been manipulated by the internet, and how sometimes they wanna start a family just so they can be like the ace family (that’s an actual response I’ve gotten) it really sucks and I’m not saying “book good phone bad” What I’m saying is that children are so easily manipulated and they’re being toyed with by adults and they hav no idea and really that hurts

@@seaofbees783 it's not the most fun thing ever to be more mature than your classmates. It's a surefire way to feel like you don't fit in. Just remember that we all grow physically, emotionally, and intellectually differently. There are many of your younger classmates that will look back in 10 years and cringe just at the mention of Jake Paul, embarrassed that they watched a single video of his. I know I watched some cringey stuff at that age and KZfaq barely even existed when I was in middle school! So yes, some of your classmates will end up cringey, immature, and stunted. But once you exit school you have to deal with people like them less and less. It does get better. Not perfect, but better.

John Temple I’m not really talking about my classmates, I’m taking about the kindergartens that we talk to, the people that are being shaped into humans, also I never wanted to mature faster than kids my age, I wish I had a normal childhood but I didn’t and I can’t replace it so I had to grow up quickly to help myself

@@seaofbees783 I feel that. Concern about the younger generation is important. Just do your best to embody what maturity is to those kids and that's what you can do on your own. If you're not satisfied by that, teaching or working with kids might be a way to help even more. But as for your upbringing, you can't go back in time so use your unwanted maturity to your advantage. Dont waste it like I did enjoying your superiority complex until you realize you're a pretty average person. At the end of the day I just heard a lot of my younger self in your first comment and I said to you what I would have told my younger self if i had the chance.

You're gonna have to specify which generation you are because as a millennial I need it specified that the ZOOMERS made jake paul possible. But if you wanna get technical it's the gen x ers who hired him at disney so

Not to mention 9 to 5 isn't really that bad. Some people work 12 hours a day to make ends meet so yeah

Also some people just want a job that makes enough money for their life style. So they’re content and successful in their eyes. It’s ignorant and self centered for him to think and try to teach kids that his view of successful is the only definition of successful.

those people are successful

I would replace successful with rich. Even those with 9-5 jobs should be able to make a good living and not be in poverty.

i hate that idea that being a 9-5 employee is degrading or shameful. every major business needs employees. it's okay if you don't want to be a self-made youtube millionaire, that doesn't mean you're not successful. and if everyone dropped out of school and quit their jobs to become a vlogger, the world would collapse lmao
