this i can agree with

Very good point.

Yup. Cause with hundreds of millions of people in this world that are connected it's easier to find someone "better" at anything. So if one has no "credentials" no one will bat an eye at their talent.

You have to be terrible for years before you can be good. As long as your not trying to show off, who cares. Just do you and enjoy the journey, cause it’s only a matter of time before you get there.

Find something you like so much that you'll do it even if you suck at it. And realize that if you keep doing it, you will constantly get better at it. Keep working at it. Don't show it to other people too much at first. Take criticism as an opportunity to get better or as a challenge. If people mock you, prove them wrong. The good news is, the older you get, the less you care about what other people think. I'm at the point now where I don't really care and I do what I want. But it took me a long time to get there. I hope you get there quicker. I don't think this is a generational thing, I think it's just age. When I was 17, I cared a lot more about what people thought and I avoided doing things I wasn't good at.

So very true! This started with TV and records. Why learn to play when you can buy something that is so much better? I'm 60 and have some of the same problems as you. Search out a local group of creatives who can both nurture and guide you. NEVER forget to enjoy what you do yourself. Be kind to yourself because any creative is always her/his own worst critic.

I took up growing weed as a hobby a few years ago... I put so much work and effort and time into it and it brought me so much happiness while doing it. But the most fulfilling part was when I gave a friend of mine (he used to grow weed on a large scale) some of the weed from my first grow and he gave me so much positive feedback and he really seemed to get why I enjoyed growing. It was a really good experience that I cherish. That as well as the time my uncle (who also grows weed) was staying at my moms place and I stopped by to pick up a parcel that had some grow lights in it as well as some nutrients. He asked what was in the parcels and I showed him and we ended up talking about growing weed for over 3 hours. It was really meaningful experience.

From an outsider's perspective, does America look like it's on the verge of collapse, or is it in relatively good shape compared to the rest of the world?

@@bigboineptune9567 both

@@bigboineptune9567 in short, no, in fact america is in a pretty average shape for a country, she's just having a bad day. compared to other western countries, america has a relatively great economic growth, and despite all this "racism" and "segregation" and protests, america is still compared to a whole lot of countries, really stable and also what i really really like, really open to each other's culture. America is a unique nation in my opinion, she can't be measured in a normal measurement. her culture is like no other, not because they're doing something different, no in fact her culture is practically non-existent, american culture is conglomeration of any and every culture on earth, making it wquite literally, earth's cultural capital. you can stroll the streets of new york and find practically people from across the globe living next or on top of each other and living their lives. an "american" is also non-existent. there's no such thing as an american race, being an american in my opinion is morelike a decaration, thet you're a part of this land called america. you can be chinese, filipino, italian, british, anything, and you can still be american, and in my opinion, it's wonderful. America is not a perfect nation, obviously. the scars from her past still affects them even to this day, effects of slavery and wealth segregation still affects millions of americans. but again it's like there's a perfect nation on earth, in the end any nation are still run by faulty humans, they got driven by their own ambitions and ego, thus a perfect nation is impossible to be achieved. the difference with america is that, everyone is practically a fan of her. media all across the world, points their camera at every little thing that they do. both the good and the bad. it's possibly the most transparent nation on earth right now with just how much the media is locked on america. that's why many people espescially americans felt like all the bad of this world is in america. while in truth, it's not. as an indonesian that's fascinated by this country named America, and have intensely studied her history, policy, and even her faults, all i can say is that, america is by all accounts a great nation. it's not perfect, and there's a ton that can be improved, but america is not falling anytime soon. she's just having a bad day, a stressful day perhaps. her old rival went away, and a new guy appeared out of thin air is trying to hurt her, that's why she's a bit stunned. but if history says smething is that, america is a rebel nation, and she's not gonna fall without a fight. -love from Jakarta, Indonesia

@@zinedinezethro9157 I appreciate your feedback. It's very valuable to get some perspective as to how we stand on the world stage compared to others. I am still very worried about America's future for three reasons. 1. America is geographically, politically, and culturally predisposed towards disunity. It hasn't happened yet because until recently, most of America's population was centered around the Northeast of the country in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York. The South and West of the country was very sparsely populated. However, with the industrial decline of these regions and the rise of air conditioning, we saw massive migrations to the Sun Belt starting around 1950. States like Texas, California, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida became the new economic and cultural juggernauts of the USA. This in turn put much of the country's population away from the central government, making it more out of touch with the population and breeding instability. If you look at a map of America, its geographic fault lines become very apparent. For example, the West Coast, being very geographically isolated from the rest of the country, should logically be independent. The effects of these geographic fault lines are limited now because the migration was so recent, but as time passes, the isolation will cause greater cultural differences between regions. 2. The central government is out of touch with the needs of the population. With all of these dividing factors that I mentioned, you would think that America would be run on a federation system that grants very much autonomy to the states, right? Wrong. Since the Roosevelt presidency, the government in Washington has tried to act less like a light-touch government in charge of a federation, and more like a strong, centralized European government. This has caused innumerable issues and reignited sectionalism. Every time one political party or the other seizes control in an election, it immediately tries to impose its ideology and policies on the whole country, including on the states that don't want it. As a result, a huge amount of resentment and anger has emerged between the Blue States (states dominated by the Democrats) and the Red States (states dominated by Republicans). These two groups of states are basically alliances between different states within the union, often acting on issues in unison with each other and intentionally going against what the other alliance of states does. 3. America is losing its identity. I think that the most accurate observation you made about America is that American identity is a declaration. This is very true. American identity centers around a vague American-ness, and a sense of commonality and patriotism. This is dying. Increasingly, we are seeing more and more people making the declaration of being anti-American. They decry America as the ultimate evil, a representation of colonialism, racism, sexism, and oppression at its peak. These people loathe the country, have no faith in its ability to do good, and often take more pride in their city or state than the country as a whole. This group is growing at an alarming rate. We saw it last summer with the country-wide riots, with burned American flags and anti-American slogans chanted ad nauseam. This mentality is everywhere. It's in our streets, our media, even in our own government. America isn't held together by one race, one tribe, or one culture. It is held together by the shared sense of pride and unity between the people of this country. If that dies, the glue holding America together is gone. By this definition, America is dying.

@@bigboineptune9567 those three are really great concerns and i bet since you're an american, you feel it the most. and in my opinion it's really good that you and i bet many americans can see these concerns through an eye of a realist. again just to be a disclaimer, i am not an american, so i guess it's obvious that what i'm seeing from the outside will be different from what you guys are seeing from the inside. for the extreme political polarization, at least from my experiences with many americans friends, in my opinion at least is exagerated. i am not implying that there are no exteremism at all, i do have found and met americans in the far-right and far-left, i mean just look at the media nowadays. but again, at least from what i see and experience, most americans no matter what their race is, are quite centrist i guess? they might lean a bit or somebit to the other side, but mostly still not extreme. but again it's not like i know a whole bunch of americans, so it's just might be the group that i'm in is coincidentally filled with more centrist people. and to connect with that, yeah i do think washington is doing it kinda wrong, i would argue that there's little to no country in the world that's as diverse as america in it's nature and people. so yeah the fact that they're acting likew it's not is indeed disadvantaging to america. but again, american states are in general have more freedom than most other prefectures or province in any other nation. so i guess that's already a plus, just need to expand a bit more. then about the population, this is something i also know of, and this is off-topic, but fr america is the only nation wwhere a whole damn national migration can happen cuz a damn AC Lmao. it is true that there are more peopleliving in the west and south now and i bet it will continue to be like that espescially for the southern states and espescially Texas. I personally think that this will actually benefits america in the long term, yes it will definitely bring conflicts and debates, but i do think in thelong term it will only basically empower the manifest destiny act. lastly the national identity, again i can't really say a lot since im not an american, but again despite americans i know are not extremely patriotic or something, they are in fact still loves their nation. other than that well as an outsider i can't really say much to it. well basically what i'm trying to say is this, it's really easy pointing the bad things, espescially at america since everything is really transparent believe it or not. but by doing so, it makes it hard to appreciate the good that's around you. at least until you lost it. but again, at least from what i study in history, a good nation always criticize themselves. yiu guys already know what your problems are, now just to fix it.

Basically, instead of falling into this pit of self-pity and loneliness and sadness, I’m trying to get as much money and comfort as possible in the next decade by following what is essentially a life plan. After all, as a white guy living in America, this system was designed for me to succeed, so if I follow it I hope that I will eventually be happy, carefree, and financially free from worry and stress. Not necessarily rich, but rich enough to not worry about money. And unfortunately it feels like I’m living in basically the best case scenario, even though my only real life goals are to be richer than my parents, and be reasonably happy, and if one aspect of my plan fails, like I don’t get into the right college or get the right job, my whole life could be messed up. It’s seriously depressing if you think about it too much.

i don't want to live a life around the western world as it is right now. I've always wanted to live in ireland or a British countryside. if i try exorbitantly hard i might get there by 50. but theres no use trying anything anymore.

I remember when I was young we used to play near the creeks and built miniature forts out of stones and sticks. Now, all that's left of that creek are just trashbags that the government is too lazy or too busy to clean, now I only see kids just sitting down at home but I can't blame em, screens and social media are addictive But I genuinely feel sad they'll never experience the pleasure of just being with friends and just chilling by the creek.

People in my class are worried I might shoot up my high school because of how aggravated I got towards society, the thing is in Australia guns are illegal XD :'(

Won't happen but thanks

I had to watch the road that leads to the beach in my town destroyed. It was entirely neo gothic buildings 10 years ago . It was beautiful. They scat the lot and build gross square blocks .

the worst were the soviets, soviet buildings just lack all soul, they are boxes with boring colors tightly packed together with houses that aren't good enough to properly live in.

YES, why does nobody try to replicate nice styles, my dream is to build a classical-style city. Although It will never come to be, i like imagining it

You don't actually know art or art history

It’s the logic of neoliberalism. The purpose of buildings is profit and you can’t waste public money on making something beautiful. Similarly with companies. You get the occasional unique company campus like Apple but that’s just because they are so rich it’s insane.

Thats probobly because people of the same age can relate to one another.

hey, but one does not exclude the other. Although that does not work well for me, I compensate my own inner obsessive perfectionist with stupid amount of lazyness.

You might like Roger Scruton documentary on beauty. It's available on KZfaq

I do not care wether things are beautiful or ugly. Are you saying i should care?

Stability and efficiency have beauty of their own.

All country's are like that.

Yeah even if your life is 'perfect' and you have everything you ever wanted there'd still be discontent and unhappiness in the back of your mind because you know that people are suffering all over the world and you can't do anything about it. In the old days before we were so connected we were much less aware of all the world's problems, we only had to focus on our local village, and the problems were alot more manageable.

@@denisl2760 more like know the purge is coming for our people

the world is a sick joke made sicker by the people in it

You must have had a nice childhood. Mine was horrible. I hated life and hated humans and if i had been strong and powerful as a kid i would have probably killed at least 100 people who were very hostile towards me. Most of all i hated the meaningless existence and the extreme lack of freedom and lack of challenges in life. I was so bored. I could hardly live with it. I only survived because I inherently believed it could eventually change and that I was smart enough to get through the psychological hell. I never thought the world was perfect. I was so distraught by the way things worked that I told my parents that i wish i could become a dictator and change things.

@@denisl2760 When I was a kid (born 1995) my parents did not have internet. until i was in my late teens, we only had two tv channels. No game consoles and no technology in general. Entertainment or information on the world was almost non existent. All the other kids had internet already when they were in grade school. my family was just an outlier. Unhappiness doesn't need to stem from the worlds problems. Most first world countries have plenty of local problems and plenty of ugliness and psychological terror to make you miserable to the core.

@Safwaan I have no idea what architecture has to do with controlled-anarchy. If anything, anarchy will destroy old building to squeeze out a few more high-rise apartments that look terrible. Property developers don't give a shit about cultural heritage... Doesn't matter what country you're in, either. This happens even in good democracies like New Zealand and South Korea. It would be worse under controlled-anarchy. In my opinion, of course.

fake story

There is no way someone sane can think that their time in war was more meaningful or worth it. Either that or you've been incredibly lucky.

There is no such thing as a greater meaning that predefines our human conditions. What you meant was that humans have evolutionary grown into tribal systems with a small amount of mobility and division of labour. The industrial and post-industrial processes of the last 200 years or so have crushed that evolutionary habituation, which was long-term established in a relatively short time. Thus we have problems to adapt to the overwhelming complexity of the globalized world; it just happens to fast for us to process it. Ideologies fragment by the visibility of other ideologies from other parts of the world who are preached with the same rigidity and make our beliefs relative. This can be a great threat to our collective sanity but we can't turn back time and resettle in tribes. We have to develop a system to create contextual meanings but no hegemonial concept like god, socialism, liberalism etc. which offers a monocausal view on EVERYTHING will ever be convincing.

Hunt for food? Like trading MREs with your buds or what?

@@GenUrobutcher Actually if you look up a lot of historical quotes from the first and second world war veterans, you will find almost all of them say the war was the most meaningful thing they ever did. Likewise, throughout history war was frequently seen as the most meaningful/important events in the lives of those who participated in it.

its interesting to see that i clicked the like button on this video. i was in a bad mental state so i think i agreed. its easy to just blame the world and think everyone is also unhappy and its not my fault. but ill watch the video again, bc i feel like i disagree now.

Is it possible you were happier back then because you were still young with your future ahead of you?

Have you ever seen a clip of a talk by Slavoj Zizek where he describes why people in Yugoslavia were more happy under Communism than now? I thought it was quite interesting. He said that under Communism, whilst there were no problems with getting food, there were sometimes shortages of certain things like coffee. You could have coffee a few times a week, but there'd be some week where there was no coffee, and then you'd appreciate the days when you did have coffee more. Now, there's coffee everyday. Every city and town has a Starbucks or a Costa. Nobody with the money to buy it, goes without coffee, so they lose their appreciation.

When my dad was little they let him run on pipes above the river next to the bridge and no body cared as long as they came back for dinner it's fine

Me gaming 3-6 hours every day after work. Yeeeeeah its not that bad

I think video games are not the problem for young men, but the escape since the world is becoming more and more hostile against them.

Videogames and most escapism is a result of a bad world, if we would ban videogames people would still be sad and have no life. Videogames arent the problem, they are a bandaid

Me and my school friends grew up wanting to go out and experience what the world had to offer and everything in it with enthusiasm and appreciation. Video games where simply a fun pastime we all loved to do. Never did I see the opposite

You don’t sound selfish, you sound like you need a shakeup. I don’t know your situation but if i was living in such a way that i didn’t care if world blew up then I’d do something different. Perhaps it’s your job..... get a new one, something off the wall, why not? Your worried about stability? Why you just admitted you would find joy in an apocalypse that forced you to go squat in a cabin... so what do you have to lose? Are you in grade school? Ok maybe you have to finish that obligation for personal reasons, what can you do within that organization then? Even something As simple as cutting off all your hair just to feel different can totally change the way you see life. You don’t have to be stuck in whatever situation your in. This is your life and you define what makes you happy, even if nobody else gets it. Wow i had a lot to say there, sorry your post just reminded me of something i would have Said 2 years ago, so it hit a little personal to me. Feel free to take my advice or roll your eyes at it, my only request is that you don’t go commit murder..... nothing against murders but I’m not fond of dieing and for all I know your my neighbor ( who probably doesn’t like me,.. I’m not a people person)

Maybe not a literal zombie apocalypse, but I wish a flood or a tsunami would hit my area. I'm so fucking tired of my monotonous, soulless life without any religion and close family.

@@Joseph-do9nz my point stands, if you want a belief do some soul searching. If you want a family.... try starting with friends.... id buy a lighter, the fastest way to make friends is to offer someone a light.

Even fans/youtubers who adore Superman can't even bring themselves to say those words.
