Understanding the 'why' behind our actions is the first step towards self-awareness.

Gonna listen to this in my sleep. My subconscious will hear this video before my conscious will when I rewatch it in the morning.

You’re not stuck in traffic, you are traffic.

Dude the amount of editing, scripting, researching, and recording that must’ve went into this is crazy to think about I commend you my good sir 🤙

I just drove today and complained about traffic 5 min ago and this pops up? Lmao for a sec I thought it wasn’t a coincidence

Most people do not realise what compels them much of the time. I find that the natural instincts of being territorial and of being competitive drive this modern world and we may have pushed it too far. It's important to understand ourselves better so that we can find a better balance in order to ameliorate both long and short term outcomes. I believe we are in for some nasty shocks over the next few generations. We should not accept and adapt to the problems we caused we should be able to see them coming and act as a global unit before it is too late. It's time to better understand, better regulate and educate the world. If only we could unite as one global group who share and welcome while working on balance in our ecosystems as a priority in the actions we make.

Rubber necking is super weird and can be frustrating. Even being aware of it does not change the fact that I do it as well after waiting so long to get to the cause of it.

For over three decades, I've simply been compelled to complete my objectives. 🙂Goals which usually came to my mind "slowly but surely", but arrived nonetheless. And I've achieved pretty much all of them! Saber fencing medals, performance accolades, 9000+ sounds designed, videos made, LED sabers crafted, live fight work performed, classes taught... and now, 420,000 words and 250+ illustrations published (in three of six books). 💪😎✌️ Discipline. Consistency. Deadlines. Creativity. Reflection. Repeat. 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨

A moment of profound discovery...... laughter. I always thought that was odd.

This video helped me put into perspective how we as humans need to be more aware of our surroundings and abilities on the road. I made a short to try and further explain my understanding and reasoning: great video!

The amount of work that went into this to bless those willing to listen. Truly wonderful! Thanks for the amount of effort that went into this great video

I honestly don't get why there are so many bad comments about this video here, I think the analogies he used here perfectly summed up the title. I also think the depth that it was explained to made the message hit harder. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Just me.

The bit around 38:00-39:00 or so about missing childhood and the simplicity of those times comes off a bit presumptuous, just an observation. There are many who do not have the privilege of a simple childhood that is worth feeling melancholy over

i woke up today, decided to go to work and not make the world worse. I hope i made it better. I feel a numb fuzz every moment. But I love your videos, still🎉

Aperatures content is what he does best cause it's what he does best too, ya know.

I wonder how much of this whole creation is of the narrator 🧐 If infact even the majority of it is from this one individual, I am impressed.😎👍

thank you for wasting my day off

Great work, I really enjoyed this and appreciate the effort you put in. Abo secured.

2:02 I think the food service industry figured out how to fix the the congestion problem decades ago. Staggered in times and out times which nobody seems to think would scale to The Wider Workforce or just hasn't considered but I'm convinced would make a huge difference especially in the extremely congested areas

Traffic is like bowling with and with out the bumper rails.. i bowl 2handed and launch it down the lane, when the rails up! 😏

I honestly don’t understand why the traffic analogy took up the entire video

Aperture - How come this video doesn’t show up on your channel?? I can watch it when I follow the link from my new subscription uploads, but when I go to your home page for upload listings, it’s not there. Just FYI

My dreams are so vivid. They're neither good, nor bad. They're exciting. But I do recognize the issues in life playing out in my dreams often. I have sleep paralysis that's even worse when I have insomnia. I wish I could stay in my dreams and never wake up. My dreams are better than reality. Not even in a negative way.

27:00 Lucid dreaming is in fact a very real dream state and totally amazing. Wish there was a way to record it lol... It has limitations as far as being in "total" control but real nonetheless.

Can confirm i turn into a different driver if i have forgotten my license at home or work

I was stuck on a bridge, I kept checking Google traffic to get an idea how long, until I realized it was telling me how long I was there and it was moving in lockstep with my clock, It was using my phone to make the traffic report!

@aperture you lost the leading 1 on the chapter times in your description

47:59 or you could do like CVS and locate your store right across the street from your competition almost exclusively 😊😅😂

Damn i love the logic up till around three mins regardless of the carrier., yes so much can be distilled down tothe inadequacy 8 of humans. As beautiful as we are in the analog and thats to behold and cherish and infinitely so unfortunately...

How do you make such long videos so quick

I'd also like to comment I have hit the floor in a dream. I think I experienced what death feels like through this. I was falling, and extremely fearful. But at some point as I was falling I accepted it. I embraced it. When I hit the floor I shattered into a billion atoms. I felt myself become one with everything. I've had this same thing when drowning, where at some point I accept it's game over and I embrace it.

The statement made,"homelessness is the result of laziness." After my abrupt scoff. My direct response,,"a profound lacking of investigative objectivity. To my own discovery. In contrast to such contents as such made, and," Life is what you make it." Is purely a lack of realistic understanding of chaos and the consequences of the purest states of spontaneous existence. We did not choose to be born. It is brought about by the act of procreation. In fact to exist to live in human form. By is commonly considered," hitting the the jackpot in a cash lottery. " Inspite of its rarity, is commonly shared consequences, of all living creatures. And when considering the possibility in the rest of the universe. Is a very rare event. To close, no one is born dreaming. I want to be an addict, and live a painful life of destitution and pain. Your show is insightful. However, very like anyone else. And that old rhythmic tune. Oh"Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood. For my intentions are good. Metaphorically, no matter how pure my intentions, Murphy's Law, has more power than we. A Titanic of a mostly well intended species. Fighting the consequences of consistent perceptions of failure.

Keep growing

Man, over two hours to hear this dribble… i wanted to hear directly about subconscious and skipped around, but this is torture.

Just please no more ads I love falling asleep to your vids but the ads kill it

nice video

Is this video about the subconscious mind as its title says or about cars, roads and traffic? I've tried giving it a while considering it could be a long metaphor, but I'm convinced this is youtube displaying the wrong video, or the uploaded mistitled this video

Left lane for passing only! You know who you are.

Blank statements don't become true just bc someone famous said them..."Aristotle once said, "All feelings are..blah blah blah..... if you never truly love yourself you can NEVER love others." Well, yes he said it, but from hearing it, it sounds profound, MAYBE, but mostly platitudes, but I doubt they are not debatable or even if they are true. Such statements are scattered all over this two hour video!! I can even add some of my own, "You can't truly learn unless you suffered, and then recovered"... sure I just said it, so is it true, or will it be true if I become famous or a thousand years pass before someone uses it??

Guys I had a question1 so I have "sleep paralysis" but the thing is that compared to regular one I know I'm dreaming and can feel my " irl" body move but can’t wake up. And am able to think and remember everything even small details(technically I’m conscious while in this state) yet I can’t make it go away other than relaxing and able to get out of bed, move and tell my parents and I don’t remember anything after that crazy thing is that as soon as I’m drifting off to sleep I can feel that I’m gonna have sleep paralysis that night and even if I wake up and try to sleep again it won’t go away so I’ve got no other choice but to go head to head with it Can someone tell what that would be called?

I started listening to this video before going on a quick drive into town... Watching everything he talks, about in the first segment, unfold in front of me 😂

We are guided by our instincts. We are animals. That's why

"Why We Do What We Do" Because the brain releases hormones and messengers when we do something we like doing. And because that feels good, we want more of it. It's basically a positive addiction to what we're doing

As a motorcycle, traffic can cease at will. Its quite refreshing. Thinking outside the box, you know?

Is there word for a person who doesn't have endgoal except for the ivenitable? At the moment I'm having some bluish colors etc. So that can't answer..

I will never own a self driving car when this happens once of the most important parts of my life will be illegal and I'm not willing to give up that freedom to control my own vehicle

DC is the worst driving! Other people will say Boston, New York City, LA, Florida, ... but DC has people from all those places with their individual styles and automotive body language, and everybody in a rush. All the miscommunication and chance taking it's crazy!

The video is too good but dude please improve the audio quality

So u proses info while u sleep and what happens is the subconscious mind makes a picture so I believe that’s y n meaning of corse from what u had to process so think of the day b4 the dream?

you have to drive slow past accident scenes, you can’t just blow through at full speed🤔

Great content but why you tried so hard to sound like that? 34:31 it sounds weird dude.

10:12 just another one in a countless number of problems caused by a culture of self-serving self-importance that is inconsiderate of everyone else which is what Speeders and bumper drivers are

"I enjoy watching your videos, but could you please turn down the music volume?" Thanks in advance 😊

55:22 not me playing sudoku rn

I was half hoping this is going to be an AI related video, my lack of fear of any singularity comes from the lack of emotional motivation of machines. Without us could they possibly have a sense of purpose? Or just keep grinding themselves to dust doing the same things they were trained to do?

Is this a reupload?…

40:25 Man is the only animal that needs a reason to live

Sorry can anyone confirm this guy said if you have a dream undressed or something it represents ive been feeling vulnerable

I will subconsciously think about something have an anxiety attack then awake to try to figure out why I'm affected

Man I try to sleep to this and the part where he referenced eminems song cracked me up😂

Yo what da fuq am I listening to😫😩 and why am I sooo compelled to continue listening to this😭😭

Whomever the Katana makers are, they must have infinite demand now... these things are mentioned in all such videos and movies. And yet most people wouldn't know the difference among ten swords. Videos like this throw a bunch of historically well known names into it, then and SAY they have to do with the issues or topics at hand and bingo, you got a "deep" thinking video. Freud and Jung are a must, though who knows EXACTLY what archetypes are, and if they are few or infinitely divisible, dreams cab be relevant and show something or NOT, and even then you get "disruptions" with Black Swans, and ...etc etc But in the end these vids give you the pro and con of anything ,a nd depending on your character you can use with one to do or not do, to behave in this way or that way, to get motivated or not, these vids never really take a strong stance on anything. Anti heroes, religion institutions, superheroes have to be human or human like or be disliked.... then GAME THEORY!!

Love is a byproduct of evolution in case anyone wants to know. It makes us procreate ......all the amazing things in this hell called life. Oh and those little breaks in life are called joy. Usually accompanied by feelings of relief which seem permanent until they're not 😂. Love Marty

I have had lucid dreaming. Where I will ask myself in the dream "how did I get here?"😂

Background music is distracting.

I will never use a self driving car. I will drive it, it will not drive me. Only in a backwards world do we give our power away.

🤔

We do what we do cause it's what we're meant to do of course, lol.

Show me your MOTIVATION!

Hey could you mention who the artist is of this videos Thumbnail art? Or, if it's AI Gen. could you mention the prompt. The style reminds me of Alvin Schwartz, but with cleaner lines. 10/10.

1:20:33 ...there's vomit on your shirt already, mom's spaghetti 😅

Self driving kars. Why now. Trains work

1:45:52

Do you think when you use a line like “ think about it “ people are gonna do something different think about that

no love today then there gone love is out going wanting any thing

MOTORMAN???!

Big Idea: Why we do what we do.

38:40 I'd pick the pleasure giving machine over harsh reality. Living a life that's not real is pointless and meaningless? So is living a so called 'real' life.

Maybe the way drivers respond to bikers has nothing to do with assumed biker competency and more to do with driver culpability and level of possible biker injury/fatality.

Bestie what is you yappin about I might be stupid or smth but I'm 1:30:00 in and like... He's changed subject like 4 times like it's not even about the subconscious anymore like

If traffic is costing the US so much money why do we refuse to change from vehicle-lobbied architecture

Jesus Christ, we have the technology now. I thought we were already implementing it. If everyone turned on their map apps, even if you know the way, we could use our apps to get everyone to their destination faster. The app will direct us

I love this channel it's amazing but there not in need of funding ppl are

Traffic psychologist?

Self driving cars connected to the interweb.Have absolutely nothing to do with safety.It's completely about control

Self-driving cars seem to defeat the whole purpose of driving. I would hate it.

I had a dream I would die on a Freeway

india

What will replace antiheroes? Clowns and circus acts, and they're already here.

Why is this in my recommendation that's mega random youtube

1:20:36 moms spaghetti

The traffic issue will solved once Elon Musk’s Boring Tunnel loops are completed construction 🙌🏻

People are stupid more so then smart... and something being so called smart is only perspective other human gives as an opinion...

Dystopian dilemma, human created broken systems.

Why do I get the feeling this channel is run by AI scripts now..

"Rubber necking" is fake. I never look at the accident. I slow only because the car ahead of me has slowed or there is debris on the road.

A two hour video about the sub-conscious? Sounds… sound.

I love this video but I do just want to point out that you can be in a romantic relationship without lust because lust is defined as "strong sexual desire" which is something some people like myself lack because we are asexual who don't have sex cuz of the lack of sexual attraction towards that person or most likely cuz we just don't want to (btw not speaking for all aces cuz some do enjoy and have sex) and i dont want misinformation be spread because of how invisible aces and aromatics are to ppl. Again love the video and i just wabt to inform.
