"The more attention you invest in your goals, the stronger their gravity becomes." What a powerful statement. Grateful for your life philosophy, Dan.

This is how ive been looking at life for a couple years now. "unfortunate" things that happen to you in life are no longer unfortunate, instead they force you to think outside the box and approach things from different angles kind of like running into a dead end/dying in a video game. This mentality reminds me of the Rocky quote; "it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward"

I love it. I had a realization after a meditation: The best VR game is the one in which you’re not aware you’re playing. Life is the greatest VR game ever ❤ I feel like Alice in Wonderland. Thank you so much for your content, Dan.

Thumbnails game have evolved!

You know the content is good when your pausing the vid constantly to take notes of concepts & the resources mentioned. Thanks Dan 👊🏾

This video gave me ALOT of clarity. For the first time in months i have a clear goal i want to reach. I know the path to get there; and the task in order to reach that path. Psychic entropy is REAL.

Thumbnail tip: Use AI to change the face to yours. I almost skipped this video 'cause I didn't know it was yours. Keep up the good work!

I really enjoyed this video. the past 2-3 years of my life I've been really getting after my goals, and doing quite well. However sometimes when I reach some of these goals I often feel lost not knowing what to pursue next that has real meaning in my life. After watching this video, I feel like my perception of what I need to work on has broadened but my focus on what I need to improve on has intensified. Thank you for creating this amazing content!

Remember the whole "Gamify your life" videos a few years back? This is a much more mature and helpful way to think about the topic and improve your life in the process. Thank you Dan.

The comment about you trying to eat the entire universe at once is so true. Becoming everything at once. What a complete ego death looks like

Love the way more mind thinks. The synergy between spirit & business is what resonates for me & why I really love your content & message. Keep it up!

As someone who studied psychology, this was a great way to integrate evolutionary psychology and spirituality. You are an extremely intelligent KZfaqr and hence why I enjoy your videos so much

Dan! I have to tell you I’m subscribed for more than a year but I couldn’t really watch and get all the information in bc I wasn’t ready.. so I watched couple of videos but although I understood your philosophy I just couldn’t handle it. OMG! I’m happy that I saw your book and it cought my attention! I wanna understand your perspective! I hope I can this time! ❤ I feel that you’re amazing! Thanks for your videos! ❤

I always compare life situations to super mario 😅 I just found your channel a week ago & my life is already changing drastically,thank you.

Hi, Dan Koe, I want to thank you for putting English subtitles in your video, because I'm from Brazil and I'm still learning English. I met you through a guy who has a KZfaq channel called Abraham, and as I want to produce quality content, I need to consume the best, Thank you very much Dan Koe. Keep adding subtitles to your video, this helps a lot for those who want to learn English while consuming your content.

insanely valuable, really helped me through a rut. pursuit of knowledge is unending, persistence is key. NEVER BACK DOWN NEVER WHAT?

Another banger video. You’re always picking great topics with mind-f*cking perspectives. Can’t wait for your book, _The Art Of Focus._

Thanks for another awesome video! I've long believed life is like a game, but you mentioned the concept of NPCs on another video, and that was a big game-changer. 😁💖💕

19:14 I don't know why, but "your personal brand is your character" really stood out to me

"You can make a game out of anything in life" Nice stuff!!

I wrote "The Goblin's Rules for the Game" that makes very similar points, Good on you! It's nice to see this idea bubbling up.

You’re changing my life. Thank you brother. I’d love to have a conversation with you one day.

I would like to thank you for the amazing and thoughtful content you make. You really manage to create very powerful perspectives and possibilities for change. Thank you!

"THE USER INTERFACE TO THIS GAME IS OUTTA WAAAK" Is what I will repeat to myself every time I see the world in a negative light.

@Dan Koe: I highly admire your philosophy and see the connection between your success and spiritual journey you are on! This video made me think of Michael Newton, PhD. “The journey of Souls”. Highly recommend!

Information should be fuel you take in-for-motion, it should lead to action.

As much as i don't consider life as a video game now, i would consider it like a book, where you're the writer and define how life is truly.

It's levels with everything.. maybe infinity to them all. So yes.....we must do better . And or pick a side because nothing gets easier until you do that part

I love your content Dan! Thank you for following your passion and sharing with the world

You are a real Player, dude!

This is 6th time i came back to the video I just cant see the whole thing at a time It completely resonates with me I cant hold that

"This is the first video by Dan Koe that I've come across, and I must say, there's an abundance of valuable insights packed into just 23 minutes. I'm convinced that I need to hit that subscribe button and allocate more time to delve into your previous content. Thank you so much for this, Dan! 🙏 #Subscribed"

Thank you for your perspective, Dan. Always taking inspiration!

You sir are an intellectual! I love how your mind works and how you communicate your thoughts. Freakin BRILLIANT 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Dear Dan, I've been a huge fan of your content for many months now, you truly provide the best actualizing advice that people of all ages can follow. Just wondering if at some point you might have the time to go over some writing exercises that may help with self-awareness? Keep up the fantastic showers of knowledge Danny boy we love you so much!

I didn't recognize you with the new thumb style. 😮 I like the old one better because it's cleaner. I feel like it sets your content apart from all the "over saturated plastic" that mist videos have and it was what made me click on your chanel to know your content for the first time. ...But experimentation is important. Let's see. Keep going!

Hey there! My favorite youtube boy. I hate it when you say I'm just a regular dude.. You are brilliant, don't ever discount that ♥

When the Student is ready the Teacher appears. So glad to meet you SENSI!!

Thank you Dan 🖤

Excellent video, thank you

Man, i'm just reading matrix warrior by jake horsley, I go to youtube and the first video that appears is this.

Coming from his newsletters to this is nice and clutch.

Halo 3 was my favorite game. I use to play with MLG pros online. Fun times

Love your way of presenting information Dan. You have such clarity, yet normalcy to how you write and speak. Your content has been pivotal to how I view work, appreciate what you’ve done. Maybe the Aliens intentionally put you here to share this? Who knows…

You can’t escape the Matrix. But can win within it.

This book is about to be 🔥. This man be spittin'

Fire content as always - thank you Dan 🙌

Thanks Dan very well thought out and structured video

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:26 🎮 *Life is metaphorically seen as a video game across psychology, metaphysics, self-help, and business perspectives, emphasizing the structured flow of information.* 01:53 🧠 *Overloading with information beyond one's capacity leads to anxiety, while avoiding challenges results in boredom. Optimal living involves progressively pushing one's limits.* 02:49 🔄 *Efficient information processing increases consciousness. The conscious mind processes 50 bits per second, while the unconscious manages 11 million bits. Mastering information processing allows meaningful attention investment.* 03:45 🚀 *Life's purpose involves pushing boundaries, embracing the highs and lows, and avoiding stagnation. The journey is about raising consciousness by living at the edge of one's abilities.* 04:44 🌊 *Psychology's optimal state, known as "Flow," arises when attention aligns with realistic goals, emphasizing concentration, order, and momentarily forgetting distractions.* 06:10 🧘 *The "Focus Matrix" categorizes consciousness states based on focus type (narrow or open) and consciousness level (unconscious or conscious), guiding individuals to desired mental states.* 07:37 🔄 *Psychic entropy, the mind's tendency toward disorder, can be managed by conscious efforts such as zooming out, gaining clarity, and zooming back in to maintain order and focus.* 09:33 🕹️ *Life mirrors video games in skill acquisition. Balancing challenge and skill levels prevents anxiety or boredom, ensuring a continuous state of flow and self-improvement.* 11:57 🤯 *Metaphysically, human perception acts as a user interface, concealing the true nature of reality for survival. Donald Hoffman's theory suggests space-time is a compression algorithm.* 15:18 🔄 *Self-help perspective: Life is a game of acquiring skills, gaining experience, unlocking levels, and navigating virtual risks. Creating goals, paths, and tasks with clarity is crucial.* 17:40 🔄 *To change life, change actions. Implementing a plan, creating systems, and persisting through trial and error lead to behavior change. The creator economy is becoming dominant in the new digital society.* 18:37 🔄 *Everything divides and reunites over time; social gaps in entropy, nothing is permanent.* 19:05 🌐 *In the digital renaissance, we have the opportunity to learn, do, and become anything, thanks to vast information. The creator economy thrives on virtual reality, personal brands, and online business.* 19:34 💼 *The creator economy involves virtual reality, personal brands, online business, and networking to build a powerful tribe. Purposeful products and an intrinsic philosophy are keys to success.* 20:02 🎨 *Branding is crucial in the creator economy; your brand is your online avatar. Strong brands have a vision, an irrational goal, attracting followers with energy. It represents who you are becoming.* 21:00 📝 *Content is essential; lessons learned, ideas, thoughts, and advice shared create powerful connections. The best content comes from energy transfer, registering excitement, and increasing dopamine.* 22:27 ⚙️ *Products or systems for behavior change are vital. Build a product or service based on your acquired knowledge and skills. Sell something you would have wanted, addressing real problems.* 23:26 📣 *Marketing is key; learn marketing and sales to effectively promote your brand and product. Understand the psychological and metaphysical principles of value exchange for ethical marketing.* 24:53 🤔 *Your "why" is crucial in promoting your product. Emotion is created by understanding the reasons or whys behind your pursuit. Struggle is part of the journey, and lessons learned increase your level of mind.* Made with HARPA AI

Wow! Glad I found this. 😊

Been waiting for this. Thumbnail is sick tho 🔥

I was wondering when youd pick up on Don Hoffman, he and Bernardo Kastrup are putting really great ideas out there

My brain is hurting after this… amazing knowledge thanks Dan

Thank you, Dan! You've really made me think about what it means to be a participant in digital society. Not just a passive consumer. Ŵriting and building for yourself - setting out on a miniquest. Going to leave a comment with notes to self on all videos i find useful. Notes: Life is a Game: Learning, practice and the chase for dopamine. Stack gold, gain experience and transcend to the next level. "A game is a Structured flow of information." Life is a series of highs and lows. The most meaningless place you can be is in the middle... Ideas from Donald Hoffman, Terrence McKenna and FLOW. Perception as user-interface - evolved for survival and action, not revealing reality. Create your own Games. Design them in such a way that leveling up is meaningful in itself. If you're failing at a good game, pick an easier level and keep grinding. If you're crushing at a bad game, take that energy and experience and apply it to a better game.

Thumbnail is sick 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Im gonna buy all this guy's stuff. Im at one with him and all of you dont ask how i simply know by feeling it in the senses.

Thanks for going the extra mile with this one 🙏👍

thank you so mush this video help me understand a lot of things . I love you content mush love ❤❤

Man ahead of his time 😊

Dan, Thumbnail is great. This creative thumbnail gives you a bigger fishing rod to fish in the new waters of KZfaq. But if you'd put your face it would be even better for retaining your current viewership. Keep evolving!

Love your content one of my favorite channels 💯 Thank you

That Video is Gold man!

. . It seems that the key to the good life is investing . . . . . . attention in what we deem meaningful. But what you deem meaningful is found by investing . . attention in what you eliminate as meaningless.

I pray someday I won’t only have the chance to tell the world how you changed my life but also how your kindness transformed me.. The only way to show you my gratitude is to be successful💯

You know I'm not really into watching much influencers with all the hyper Masculine gifting bs going on. However I like the way your stuff hits. Simple and down to earth.

Awesome content Dan, as usual. My humble opinion on the purpose of life is that it is not only about this life. It is not only living this life perfectly, otherwise, we will only concentrate on this "stage" of the game, which is much greater. the worldly life is just one stage of the great game. If I'm wise enough I will figure out the purpose of life for all stages included. what is the purpose? is that all about being a healthy, successful business guy, solopreneur, or having an amazing family? or is it bigger than that? For me, all those are tools to reach something greater. The Islamic perspective in that sense answers that point crystal clearly and it explains how we called" matrix" works, what are the tools, and what the Great Creator is asking from creation?

Great video - but is it just me or is anyone else finding it hard to enroll in the last sprint? Continue button is faded out...

another one!💪🏿🔥

This is the exact video I was waiting for

13:19 You're a really smart guy, man... I'd love if you made a video diving deeper on psychedelics. Their therapeutic benefits and also their dangers. I'm sure you'd have great insights based on what I've heard from you so far.

6 minutes gang, time to watch this banger

You CAN escape the matrix: it is called (spiritual) Enlightenment. Enlightenment is to awaken from the human ilusion, the human dream, to recover your consciousness-experience of being a immortal, nonphysical /spiritual being enjoying the drama of a temporary human incarnation. It is the central theme of all the great religions, i.e. the "Kingdom of Heaven." No easy, not fast, but doable. Quantum ontology has both the theory and the technology to do so. (I am in school that has about 30 students already in Enlightenment.)

Hey Dan, THE BEST info from this video starts at 18:18, that in itself is one great video to make and focus on, if you haven't done it already. Thanks for the notes! You can leave me a tip on a super thanks lol. JK mate, hope you're well.

LOVED the thumbnail! 😮

"society is no longer fragmented"... yea about that 19:11 🤣

love the new thumbnail! there are great lessons in understanding how your brain works. gamifying your life isn’t some cheap trick - it’s science! we chemically respond to the things Dan is talking about. awesome video already!!

Go off grid 😎

14:34 - Most important.

The cover is fucking amazing

You are awesome 😎❤❤❤love listening to you ❤️

My memoir should be titled: 'Loving It: Why I Didn't Even Try To Escape The Matrix Simulation'. 🤣📖

Well put video, and we’ll put thumbnail 🤝🏻

Love your videos !! Early btw

goal: to actually put to practice what i’ve learned in this video…now i need to narrow that down

Damn, this one hits HARD.

I literally did the same thing. Wake up at 4am to play Skyrim before school at 8am

Yo everything i think in my brain you post this shit is crazy!

If it all really is illusion, one may as well tailor it to the best experience.

Is Success the byproduct of greatness?

You are creator of Matrix, Matrix is magnet to Earth, bigger Matrix , bigger pull to Earth or to new reincarnation, GOAL is to NOT reincarnate and go back HOME. How you disolve Matrix >> Don't do unto others what you don't want done unto you.

Very elegant way to discuss this construct and the law of attraction.the database. My only disagreement is with your belief that business is the only way to play the game. You see it that way because that is the experience you wanted in this incarnatioon. Last time around you may have been a very content housewife etc.

so your telling me we live inside a computer! and were all digitalpuppets living inside this computersimulation-reality ! honestly adds up and is believe to me !

10:50 "if we saw the truth, we would not survive" Why wouldnt we survive?

dope thumbnail

I did a double take when I saw the thumbnail.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

How to reinvent myself?

Masterpiece 👌

great thumbnail looks sharp

Speaking about escaping the matrix, I'm hearing a lot of red pill men and new age gurus or youtubers talkong about how one should escape the matrix and how to escape the matrix. When I say "the matrix" here, I'm referring to how they define it as a system on how society should function, like people having 9 to 5 jobs, being a consumer and things like that. I dont think its right to tell people that they should escape the system built. This system is like that for a reason, it serves its own purpose. If everyone will quit 9 to 5 jobs, the society wont function. About quitting the formal education system, not every parent can be good teachers. Formal education is like that for a reason, although it obviously needs improvement, completely demonizing it would be harmful to our society. Not everyone has a life purpose that will also help them earn money. Some people are just fine with 9 to 5 jobs, because that's life, its not always peaches and cream. Also, not everyone has an extraordinary life purpose. What needs improvement is the education system, allowing people to plant their own fruit-bearing trees in America and for the countries where its allowed, then we should inspire them to do so; produce products that are not toxic to the body, eliminate shady agendas and banish corruption.

I can't buy the 2-hour writer and I don't know why... does anyone have the same issue? is it only on specific dates or what?
