The description that Ludwig gives of stoicism should be branded broicism. He is right that the whole "shut down all emotions and be Spock-like" is what got us to shitty mental health for men to begin with. To me stoicism means not to *dwell* in negative emotions, not that we never have any at all. Experience your life in its fullness (joy and pain), do your level best - whatever that is that day, and constantly remember that death is ultimately the finish line for all of us. Mary Oliver nailed it when she asked, “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” That, to me, is the pith of stoicism. Taking the circumstances and molding and squishing it into a life. It' ain't being chronically mad at other gamers or pretending that you are unaffected when your soul is begging to weep.

Broicism is a good term, but I also feel like Ludwig misinterpreted the Tiktok videos wrong in the first place, not just stoicism itself. Of course these videos have a different effect on you, based on if you understand the gist of stoicism or not, so it makes sense that he didn't perfectly understand the messages. I actually think a lot of those videos/the creators understand stoicism. If you are in the algorithm of those videos for a bit, you actually get to an even more amazing side of stoicism-tok (as they call it). It's full of virtues like taking responsibility, not being distracted by temporary emotions, chasing long-term goals and living life with a more positive outlook. And this is also where the Vinland stuff comes in, showing that DESPITE all those horrible things that happened in the past, we can find a way to not get drowned in those negative emotions and come out on top with experience and a new will to live! Sure, there are those phonk-badass-broicism-f everyone-versions, but it didn't seem like Ludwig was talking about those, but the former ones.

I LOVE, I LIVE for Dr K and Ludwig conversations. I think Ludwig challenges Dr K in a way that is intellectually stimulating for him and also the viewer. Ludwig has reached a place of spirituality (not religious), confidence, acceptance, self love, respect, without realising it and it's almost like they're both on the same page about life and how life works and how to live life but Dr K reached it with intentionality and Ludwig learned through doing life and it's this awesome reverse unpacking of positive mental health as apposed to negative mental health. I love it, everytime.

I think a lot of Ludwig's "confidence" comes from the idea that every decision, every moment in life there is no wrong decision because you just have to make it work; one way or another by correcting yourself, learning from it. It's like he has this ability to find value in anything he does. There is no right or wrong: if it's wrong, then make it right later on; if there is no later on, then do the next right thing which is to move on. Maybe some of the reason is because he doesn't want to overthink things and waste a lot of times; which kind of sometimes make him let external things decide for him (like doing coin flips). "we'll cross the bridge when we get there" "ancora imparo (still, i learn)" It's a kind of amazing mindset that he was able to set himself up to learn and fail a lot, but ultimately, he learns and find ways to succeed no matter what.

This collab kinda means a lot to me. Weirdly enough, the first collaboration between these two was my introduction to BOTH creators, both Dr. K Ludwig. I was intrigued by the prospect of talking about death with a well known commentary guy. And it exceeded my expectations. I fell in love with Dr. K’s insight and Ludwig’s charisma and they have become 2 of my favorite channels over the pandemic. Have learned a lot about myself and how to manage my ADHD from Dr. K over the last year. Thanks for all you do Dr. K. You’re making a real difference in peoples lives. Idk if people really appreciate that this is a Harvard licensed psychologist putting out hours of free content, not to mention extra esoteric bhuddist and Hindu insights and perspectives This is a gold mine for anyone interested in improving themselves in like any way.

2:03:45 MANNNN THIS ABSOLUTELY HAPPENS TO ME and I'm surprised Dr.K never heard of anything like this before. This was a huge wall specially with catching up in life because every time I had a spark of motivation to turn things, to change and get back on track, I would have fantasies of me meeting classmates in the metro or other casual places to tell them how well I was doing and the way I was crushing it on life (before actually doing anything!!). And after day dream about it I would just go back to play videogames or start feeling bad about how my classmates were actually doing well at college and in the actual I'm here day dreaming about it. This is not something I struggle with anymore, because I noticed the pattern of it being sustained in ego so I don't engage on those fantasies anymore, or at least I try not to. Also happens with learning a new language, getting a gf, a job, etc etc etc... After day dreaming about it I just don't have the drive anymore. I think the downgrade of abusing this to "skip" desires to move to something actually meaningful is that, you are feeding your ego in the process, I don't know, it's like exercise a muscle to procrastination, and if you keep day dreaming about stuff you'll do it more and more often and every time it will be harder not to engage in those fantasies. I wouldn't try to use this "skill" to my adventage.

I used to impulse buy here and there when I was younger, but almost never get anything that I ultimately regret these days. I feel as though fantasising about material purchases leaves room for the initial excitement to die down and provides time to reflect on the actual usefulness of said thing.

I think the part about being "smart" as a child and avoiding anything that requires effort is something I was surprised I related to. I never studied in high school and by the time I got to college and beyond I was afraid of trying hard and failing. The hardest class I ever had in high school was a compiler class (computer science degree) and I kind of gave up half way through because I was afraid of trying my best and still failing. So I just made myself fail by my own volition.
@Zack_Taylor Жыл бұрын
Yup. Parents told me I was smart growing up. Lots of stuff was easy, and I was able to get away with not doing the rest. In highschool that starts to catch up with you and your identity shatters because everything is supposed to be easy for you and if it isn't that's a complete failure of your entire existence. Then I had no work ethic or understanding of how to work hard and focus. Took a while to get that sorted out.

The part I'm curious about with that portion are the edge cases. They are a very small minority, but I saw people who could coast even through undergrad on the most pure academic talent (different from intelligence, important caveat). Had I continued on to grad school, I'm sure I would have seen similar there as well. There are people that are just simply so good at things that their 10 hours are worth your 1,000 hours, in the immortal words of Shroud lol. So those people can actually just chill through life without pushing their limits if they want, and it feels like a loss to society. Their ego may never halt them because their talent is enough. My initial thought is an importantly distinct follow-up in that we need to attempt to divorce talent, and the results obtained through it, from virtue. There's nothing about being born with talent or having the talent fostered in a proper environment that inherently makes you a better person or of more value. It's all luck. We already know in current capitalism that our success financially or recognition for being a contributor to society aren't really equal to the actual value we provide. But we're still fed that it is from the jump. Why push yourself to your furthest limits if you can barely try and get that financial success or recognition? Not really sure how that can be tackled though, tbh. It would require a massive culture shift and probably isn't reasonable, but the thought still popped in my head listening to that section.

@ameryrose143 You like that just because that is a very confident mindset, yet, a mindset which thinks it can deal with all challenges until it can't. Worrying about things up to a reasonable degree isn't entirely useless, it's purpose is to think ahead of the time in order to prevent having to deal with something, which can eliminate a problem entirely because it would never allow it to exist in the first place at all. There has to be balanced approach depending on the case(something really hard for people irl because you are basically either like this other way very rarely in-between because that's a very fundamental type of behavior), but the balanced approach doesn't tingle the young female mind as unshaken confidence, young women will almost always go for the most confident male who... boasts (usually actually faking) competence until it is being proven otherwise, his feelings, his desires, his dreams? Who cares about that? Not females, that's for sure.
@hibilbo4755 Жыл бұрын
@@georgeindestructible I think the point is you should make the best and wisest decisions you can but if you make a wrong decision then it generally doesn't really matter because you'll learn to live with the consequences of that (humans are very adaptable) and you can just make the next right decision and you can't go back and change the decision anyway so who cares. You should have worries and knowledge about what could go wrong but that shouldn't paralyze you into indecisiveness Also that part at the end about the female mind sounds like you attribute your lack of success with women to your lack of confidence and that you're drawing the conclusion that women don't actually care about people if they're not confident. I would suggest that it might be both your belief that women are like that and your want of a girlfriend (at least that's what it reads like) is what's holding you back. I'd imagine if you didn't care and were happy living by yourself (like Ludwig and Dr K talked about) then you would likely would be more attractive and would gravitate towards people who care about you for you I could be reading too much into it but I personally know a lot of women who are great to be around and care about me and I'm not overly confident or anything so something is clearly different here

The skill level vs stats part clarified for me why I’ve been having difficulty (re)finding passion for my former hobby/current career as a developer. Just the interview process alone is a huge turnoff. It’s almost entirely an assessment of stats instead of a broader competence. This viewpoint is probably further magnified to my detriment since I’m a self-taught female developer, one with several different interests and strong sense of curiosity. This probably explains why one of the best compliments I’ve ever received was about how I frequently pull out my phone on the fly to look something up. And at the same time, it also explains why I’m told I’m a good developer but never with any specificity and with the air of it actually not being good enough.

I also love how he uses general data a lot because I definitely picked up examples and got a better understanding of things I do as well that may have been a little harder to grasp if dealing with only specific instances. All around, it may have been the association of Ludwig that brought this to my recommended, but I'm glad I stayed and watched because I'm definitely leaving this slightly more knowledgeable than I came in.

"It's ok to quit as long as you gave it your best shot". That piece of advice is pure gold. This needs to be drilled into my brain. The amount of times I don't even START something because 'what if I fail" - so what, what if I dont? And if I do, so what? I tried. It's ok to put that down and move on to something else. I'm so grateful to finally have this sink in

I was really pleased to see this conversation go into how having intelligence can create a lack of skills. I myself have experience with this. I never had to study for anything, and it was only during my senior year of high school, when i took calculus 2 and 3, where i felt my lack of skills truly hurt me. I was still able to brute force my way to an A or B, but that opened my eyes to my deficiency. Developing those skills now at 19 is much harder than if i had developed them as a child. It will be something i will teach my children.

@wobwobninja4771 10 ай бұрын
Gonna be 24 soon, and lack of skills might be a consequence of being young. That said, don’t be discouraged by time passing and skills struggling to develop. Whether it blossoms or not isn’t as important as the continuous effort-you never know what skills you’ll end up with because of the journey to acquire a skill.

I have the opposite experience where I work really hard for my grades and got praise over it. This would lead to myself studying lots of hours to leave up to that expectation of a good student. Later in high school, I started to notice my result wasn’t as it use to where my hard work stop giving the results I wanted and would worry about my grades falling and would study more hours as a result giving no room to rest. This continue until middle of 10th grade where Covid happened where I couldn’t work on my assignment at the same home as I rest, so I abandoned my home work and wouldn’t do them for the rest of high school. This was the time where I step back in life and started going to therapy to figure out what I wanted to do in life. Few years later, my mental health is good now and have a problem of figuring out where I want to go in life as I felt stuck deciding which path and working toward that path

THE GUY IN YOUR HEAD CONVERSATION!! Never related to a conversation more. I think im in a stage in between where Ludwig and Dr. K are where I can understand that the guy in my head is just the me who can look at things objectively but I can't see what lies beyond that guy. I just wish Dr. K had expanded on that I feel like I could have taken the next step in understanding myself better and being in tune with myself better. Idk if felt like as he said that, I was beginning to realize something and then the conversation went in a different direction after that.

Regarding that last part about quitting: when I was at a low point in my life, I had an idea about switching to a different path but I was scared of quitting the path I was already on. I had a conversation with my dad, who told me "the only right thing to do is to do everything 100%. If you can't do whatever you're doing now 100%, you're clearly doing the wrong thing, and you should change your path." It stuck with me ever since.

Ludwig's algorithm for success: 1. Pick something. 2. If you fail at it: quit, go back to 1 and pick something you haven't picked before. 3. You are now successful. Give yourself a time limit (or maybe effort limit) for step 2, such that you don't spend infinite time there.

Philosphy tube has put out a really good video on stoicism recently for people who are interested! It gives a very clear explanation of the beliefs of stoicism, and also discusses some of its pitfalls. Really helped me understand the mindset as someone who thought it was just about not feeling things like Ludwig before.

I agree with the unmet need for male validation that is filled by the alpha manosphere people. but i also think that the inflamatory nature of their rhetoric is encouraged and boosted by the algorithms. more nuanced and validating content is not as inflamatory (which increases engagaement) and therefore is shared to fewer people. Its much more of an uphill battle for more wholesome content for men to be promoted. I hope this will be figured out becuase it is important

personally i think the profit motive is a big factor with social media. platforms are optimizing their algorithms for engagement so they can show more ads.

What they talked about at 1:58:00 is something that I read about in Atomic Habits. The difference between setting goals and setting systems. Once you accomplish a goal, that's it. But systems build habits that can last indefinitely (Something like that at least). Setting targets is good, but they should be milestones on your journey rather than an endpoint of self-improvement. Keeps you from crumbling when you get there. But to a degree, everyone is different and whatever works for you, works.

navigating the troubles of competitive gaming is a topic that's very interesting to me as well. i've attempted the good communication strat, and i do feel like it can work. but in my experience, it hasn't been worth the effort to me. it's much less draining to stay out of comms and focus on myself. i hope to some day be able to create the kind of competitive game i want to see, where good experiences are the norm. i think most game-related toxicity and bad experiences stem from 1 thing: random people you'll never talk to again having an impact on your rank. there are design approaches that solve this, which would in turn solve most issues i've experienced with multiplayer gaming. but no game i'm aware of uses them. i look forward to the video you mentioned being passionate about
