Considering I am Type 1 Diabetic, I can confirm I would absolutely die if all modern conveniences disappeared lol. You’re absolutely right about “challenging yourself.” I started playing clarinet last semester, and now I can play at the collegiate level. Good video :)

Remember rats wouldn't eat the rat poison if they didn't like the taste.

Always hitting at the right times with the right topics you are much appreciated thank you so much for the videos.

I converted and lived in my van for a couple of months a few years back. it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life.

You earned yourself a sub. I didnt realize how much i missed this kind of content. The closest thing to this kind of content recently that i can remember was theweeklyslap, back when that was a hidden channel under 1k subs. I think you’re doing something very valuable and I am excited to see more. Thank you so much for this content!

Idk how I got here but I like this dude

I started training jiu-jitsu 2 months ago because I wanted to change and challenge myself instead of playing video games all day,at first it was quite hard I was very bad and didn't understand anything, felt like quiting,but after a few weeks it started getting easier and I could understand the moves a lot better than when I first started.I think it is one of the best decisions I ever made and everyone should try stuff like that and challenge themselves,you should also remember that it will be really hard at first but it gets easier and you will see progress.

First video i saw of yours, and i am enjoying the perspective you bring to this genre of videos. Recently been challenging myself with keeping up with Muay Thai. I've gone to the class almost every weekend for the last 6 weeks. It feels good being consistient.

I love this video so so much It's so insperational For me I love Challenges that's what make it more fun is challenging yourself to be who you can become in life, Because If I didn't have the motivation to learn from others I would not be here on youtube today. Thats why I love the journey, the quest and the challenges. Life is like your in a medieval RPG game, Going through some quest, get upgrades, fighting your biggest fears, and so much more. With out challenges or quest life would be so boring yet interesting if there are no challenges to learn.

Thank you for putting this out there.

the difference between us and the indians is that we don't need to get our stuff from someone else.

Btw, you don’t have to challenge yourself with something impossible. Like a 20km run when you’ve never run before. I can’t relay all the information I saw on a study. But if you push yourself even 1% more everyday. Growth is exponential, and in a years time you’d realize you’ve grown more than 365%.

organize your chests bro 💀

"Hard times make hard men..." and so on. Internet tropes are popular cuz they are true

Great video! Am trying to challange myself more this past week with going for walks and training at home, already feeling mentally better and hoping to continue. Keep up the videos :D

Love the message! I really needed to hear this

I’m so accustomed to my comforts that I’ve decided in an apocalypse scenario I’d just hug the nuke/meteor etc., whatever kills us in the end. Could I survive in the apocalypse? If I train, sure. But why? Most of the things I enjoy in life will be replaced by scavenging and killing other scavengers. I don’t find that very much appealing. Or farming. Or living without AC. Or without my book club. And so on. One advantage, or privilege, as is popular to say nowadays, a prehistoric man has over modern humans is the blissful ignorance. He doesn’t know AC, so he doesn’t suffer from wishing for it.

Victor Frankl's book, 'Man's Search For Meaning' really helped me with this too. I can say so much, but it should only mean something to ourselves, and within ourselves individually. But read that shit or at least watch a summery on his book or his experience.

this is such an entertaining video! very interesting stuff

thx, zap! ;)

Being too comfortable is definetly bad and I'm glad to see that other poeple realize that too. If you don't have challanges in your life you'll have a hard time appreciating what you have.

positive video, love it dude

Hey nice chennel, think I'll stay a while and listen.

I wish.

Entertaining anecdote- though it seems to gloss over the effect of about 80% of Native people dying from the smallpox epidemic, completely shattering a generation and destabilizing the economy. The new Native lifestyle of game hunting and fur trade dependence was an adaptation for many nations to the extreme loss of their social fabric due to mass death. Corresponding dependence on settler firearms was seen by many as a bleak, disadvantageous, but necessary compromise. The Haudenosaunee confederacy for example consciously chose not to accept much technological exchange with settlers, when they had a choice before the catastrophe.
