Sometimes it is not worth overthinking life but to take it for what it is

Current title: unraveling a paradox will change the way you think everything

At over 70yo, I have found that the downside to occupying one's brain with matters such as these is that it is a lonely pursuit. The average person is not amenable to discussing these things, indeed, some are hostile to having their mental path derailed by them. I like socialising in music venues, but I have yet to find one where such conversations are welcome.

I’m too high for this

life itself a cluster of paradox , Nothing is true or false . Nothing matters but everything is.even these words.

This paradox really messes with your head. It’s like trying to untangle earphones, but the more you pull, the more tangled they get making you question everything, even your own sanity. My existential crisis…

this was the best ad i‘ve ever seen

Great video. One of my favorite paradoxical statements (which seems to have some practical use to it) is: "Not wanting something is just as good as having it. "

I love the profound meaning behind every one of your videos

I've been saying this for the longest while: existence is an eternal paradox that cannot be solved.

I like the paradox about tolerance and inclusive of the intolerant and thus making the society intolerant. We see that happening all over the place with certain groups I will not mention

This video challenged my understanding of truth and falsehood. It explained the paradox of the liar, which was a bit confusing at first. It also showed how paradoxes exist in language, logic, science, and consciousness. I guess i feel more inspired to explore more and not forget to question my perspectives. I think we get too comfortable sometimes. Trying to embrace the contradictions of our existence and stop taking things for granted is definitely worth the while though. Life is about welcoming the absurdity and finding meaning in the chaos - it certaonly seems intimidating but at the same time makes so much sense.

The only truth here is having watched a 6.5 minute long ad for a book

Pinocchio's paradox. "My nose will grow NOW!" If it does, it's because he's lying but, if it's growing BECAUSE he's lying, it's growing BECAUSE he's telling the truth ABOUT his lying!👍😀

The simplest paradox : ↓The sentence below is correct. ↑The sentence above is wrong.

Luckily, I've come to these conclusions of living an absurd existence quite a few years back. It definitely changed everything.

I have bought and given away your book. Thank you for ALL your youtube content since I found you in 2020. Your thought experiments have been as essential and inspirational to me as HDT, WW, Alan Watts, Dalai Lama, Eckart Tolle..., well, I realize my list goes back to Plato and Thoth, my bad. Anyway, you are in there and I am better for it. Thank you.🕉

TRUTH IS NOT ALWAYS REALITY

Going to get this book! Thank so much.

Life is much too important to be taken seriously. Oscar Wilde

Well done. I truly have enjoyed the content of your videos. I'm inclined to purchase your book due to how you peeked my interest. In this video, you have expressed many good reasons to read the book. Have a good day, and have fun. Thanks for your time.

Easily going on my To-Read list.

Congrats on your book 🎉

Amazing video .

Muchas gracias por tus videos. Espero que sigas mostrando al mundo tus ideas, pensamientos y puntos de vista. al menos a mí me han ayudado mucho. Un abrazo desde Cuba

"This whole video is a lie." If we assume this statement is false then part of the video can still be truth.

when i do true or false problems this is definitely how i think

Thank you

great video, tks u

I think one of the main paradoxes of life that misleads people, including myself, is that infinite information doesn’t make us fully understand life. Life is much more than just information. But we use knowledge for power, and that’s why money is king 🤴

Every paradox hints towards the nature of existence, as existence came from nothingness and still its infinite when we think about it,but one thing for sure is true that exitistence is true ,and that truth can be without a doubt can be said by a reader ,if he is at the right mind and even if his mind may be not at right State then still the observer will be their but because of state of mind he has forgot his true nature.This is only a glimpse and it still beyond what feeling or anything that you create out of your mind feeling or calculating it(existence ,God, paramatma).A song from that you are,tat twam asi

I always wonder who Robert Pantano is. His narratives are so very inspiring to me and his voice is soothing, along with a hint of urgency. I sometimes wonder if he’s A. I. But even if he were, or is, I would still listen to every one of his new videos with awe. Thank you, Robert ❤

Very intresting

Here's my amateur thought: Purpose is PPP. 1. Personal 2. Proximal 3. Present (or Temporal) Purpose is like a fingerprint; its yours, always near you, ever present. Not until you understand the absurdity of life will you be truly free.

I'm not sure if I will understand anything by watching this, but I'll smash the like button first ❤

The meaning within the liar's paradox is solely dependent on the context it's brought up in. The statement is objectively indeterminate, but it serves as a simple example that the meaning of a statement is dependent on far more than just the explicit meaning.

Why are y’all so obsessed with him changing the title??

First 30 seconds got me thinking someone's read Crowley.

Perhaps if there was "nothing" rather than "something" - there still would be "something"? That "something" being "nothing" 🤣

1:00 AM here in the Philippines, I can't sleep. Anyways great video very interesting

Not every thought is a thought.

Luv u 🐐

nothing is true but everything is possible

Nothing means anything, and anything is now.

love ❤

I just bought your book. It will arrive this Friday. I cant wait to start reading it😁

Existence is a paradox itself, meaning we must live and be here in this universe with consciousness to think and question our reality. Of course this life is happening right now, because if it wasn't, we wouldn't be able to question it, so it must be happening. I hope this makes sense. I found out this idea after long years of philosophizing, and questioning what is this all, that we call life.

To be honest, this channel creates video's which feel like a Netflix documentary rather than a video.

Each of my Shadows can be called paradoxical. For example, my Heart Shadow was born from an abandonment trauma built upon childhood delusion. Not only did I go over the top with my relationships as result, but I only gained freedom after realizing my separation anxiety WOULD make loved ones abandon me (if I allowed it). A (painfully) rude awakening indeed. Not just that, but the archetypal image this Shadow takes is always feminine (inner voice included). I guess that rhymes well with Obsessive Love Disorder and a histrionic characterization. Contrasting my feminine Sibling Complex with a feminine (Yandere) Shadow is a masculine (Warrior) Shadow residing within an equally masculine Superiority Complex. Balancing the former is a Don Juan Complex, while my SC is balanced by a Victim Complex at the lowest level (just above my Anima). Finally, my DJC contain a second feminine (Queen) Shadow, whilst my VC is ruled by a masculine (King) Shadow. In short: two Complexes where both Complex and Shadow are either fully masculine or fully feminine, two Complexes where the Shadow core is of opposite energy to the Complex itself, and then finally Shadows which archetypally contrasts the image of either their own or a different Complex. There is also a fifth (masculine) Shadow right between my SC and DJC. This 'shameful' Reaper is not attached to any Complex whatsoever. Which fits well with an Outcast category.

"Paradox" is a hasty label that we give to sets of things that seemingly contradict each other under the initial (and false) assumption that they occupy the exact same context, meaning landscape and logical or metaphysical layer where they would actually make each other impossible. Paradoxes are for thought what optical illusions are for sight: if they're taken too seriously or mystically without regard for what they really are, they cease to be entertainment (or things to re-examine from a more instrumental angle) and they become beacons of misguidance.

This is why I love this channel😂😂😂😂😂😂

The Paradox of the Boundary: If point A is black, and point B is white, and here it is day, and there it is night then what do we make of the points in-between? For surely it is plainly seen that somewhere there must be a border which, though its edge creates this order itself does not commit its troth to either side. So is it both? Or neither? How to read this rhyme? What place to place the time of time? For is the present old or new? And is the boundary false or true?

fresh comments

i've enjoyed your work for years. I want to purchase your book, however I refuse to ever use Amazon (yes I'm 'that guy'), is there another avenue by which I can purchase?

Even the first 20 seconds took me a while to fugure, haha

Can you put like all your videos into one big video that’s like an hour long or so. Please that would be awesome also I love your channel!!!

I like that picture of a wall that just says _sorry about your wall_ in spray paint

Sir,,Can you make a video about the mental world of Ludwig wittgenstein How he perceive the world??

The funny art of words and buying into the premise...which can only skate over surface, never ever getting thingness, yeah a.

i really do need help.

I wish i could know the music used in the background

What's the least interesting place on earth? Your answer instantly becomes an interesting place, being "the place determined to be the least interesting place on earth"

Will there be an audiobook?

Everything is not a lie doesn't mean that everything is true. It means something may be true and something maybe a lie. 0:12

I just coined this phrase if it's already out there well whatever. I like to live outside the binary. There's just so much more out there once you get past the black & white. Paradoxes have always tickled my mind. I was obsessed with solving as many as possible at 1 point in my life. Now I'm a little more aged and I do believe that paradoxes themselves are an answer they are not a question. Kind of feels weird to say it out loud.

Misinformation is actually information.

This video changed its thumbnail and title more than the amount of time my dad visited the family

The Auditors have entered the chat.

Current title: The art of living an absurd existence. Current thumbnail: guys in red hoodies with a man in the middle looking up.

Will the book be on Apple Books?

16 seconds were enough for me to trip like im on acid thats a new record

Any argument can be made justifiable. Morally is merely only a byproduct or defined by the society a being lives in.

Loving someone who loves me back is the only important thing to me because is life short enough

Can you please release as an audiobook?

I think therefore I don’t think. Everything manifests into nothing. And nothing is everything. 🙏🏼

If the book is real then the video can't be a lie, but then the information in the book could be a lie which means that the video is a lie 🤔🤯

I lied.

Current title: The Art of Living an Absurd Existence

(This statement is true (+) x is true (+)) = true (+) (This statement is true (+) x is false (-))= false (-) (This statement is false (-) x is true (+)) = false (-) (This statement is false (-) x is false (-)) = true (+) (This statement is t or f) is the first variable. The (is t or f) part is the second variable. No matter what the second variable is it doesn’t change the first variable. They both combine to give a new answer. The self reference part is meaningless. It is no different than saying this is the number 5. The only reason this is a paradox is because for some reason we are allowing the original statement to change. Instead of combining the statement with the response. This is equivalent to saying a=a or b therefore a can also be b. Instead of a x b = c.

I’m extremely happy for you to have published a book! Looks really Camusian and perhaps Kierkegaardian, hopefully you channel a little bit of Schopenhauer too!? Can’t wait to read man.

2:46 surely the premise of this paradox is a contradiction within itself. Surely if a society achieves “total tolerance”, that will mean every part of the society, leaving no intolerant ppl.

The term "heterological" is my favorite paradox. Just one word and it's meaning.

I think y'all would just love The Absurdity of the Purposeful Life - An audio essay by Marv Friedenn.

It's better to see a paradox as an overloaded statement, a sentence that has two or more meanings. Another way to interpret it is as an incomplete statement that requires more information or context. As Einstein said, make things as simple as possible but no simpler. If you seem to have a paradox then your statement is too simple and requires better detail. It only feels interesting because the oversimplification of a boring but meaningful statement has turned it into potential meaning, which feels like you should be able to derive meaning from it but doesn't have enough information to be meaningful, only to sew confusion. You're also tying your hands if you think statements have to either be true or false, most statements that apply to the real world are more accurate if you estimate a % of truth to the statement, this is 50% true and 50% false. It's like claiming people hate anchovies, an abiguous statement that would be more accurate if you said about 50% of people hate anchovies. The aim of logical statements should be to maximise the accuracy of information in as small an amount of words as possible as you can without making it less accurate. You have to balance your statements so that they're neither overgeneralizations or undergeneralizations as best you can.

Ending song name???

Unfortunately, we have all chosen our fate. The absence of choice is an illusion.

This video literally contained nothing.

the strength of the paradox is in the binary and the suspension of context. If you are only to reference the statement "everything in this video is a lie" you are forced to bludgeon everything with that statement. How ever them more questions I ask and responses I get it removes the power off the paradox. For instance, does a statement about the video count as a property of the video...because everything IN the video is a lie would that include the title? If YES, then the next question would be does the chronological order of the lies matter? If the title was the first thing to come up that would be the first and only necessary lie for the statement to still be "correct". The paradox it seems only really exists in the limiting of context and that isn't how the world works over time so it seems to me that a paradox is the result of artificial limitations put around an experience. We create the conditions for a paradox with our intellect, does it really exist in the wild?

Paradox is a grey area, halfway between true and false. It requires a three-valued logic.

How wonderfull to listen to a human being being able to speak so clear and so understandable. Support human speech.

Let's not forget, "This statement is true." Is it true?

This is what a woman’s brain goes through when you she tells you, “It’s your fault I cheated on you”

Nothing is nothing!

Congratulations on the book release! I've been a fan of your channel for a long time and I always appreciate your videos. Gonna add the book to my wishlist for future reads for sure!

Ohmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 🙏
