Tbh I think this predicted MAGA..

Cuando vinieron a tepoxtlan México ❤️❤️

What is going on with the font?

Chuck is KING

I come from the future, woke people think that communism is good, and the electric cars are running on coal power plants to charge

What was the first rule?

And they lapped it up. Astonishing.

I believe there are already stories/books like that--that change people's lives forever

Dead poet society

If only they'd have taken his advice and become more grounded. Instead we're grasping at mists and vapors finding meaning in meaninglessness. Absurdity, angst and anger are virtue. A generation chasing imagination.

Woah, this goes against everything you assume you should write about. That’s some next level shhhhtuff. I may have to watch it again. I got it, but I didn’t get it.

Wonder if he ever crossed paths with Jordan Peterson

I'm not so sure.

Chuck should not be allowed anymore to be this good.

There once was a story better than all other stories.. It starts just like this.

He's so respectful and engaged... even when talking to a herd of mouthbreathers...

you don't effectively change anything by protesting change things by giving people a more effective way of living their lives you give them the right story you can do this within the current story without reacting to it right now we need a really big meta-narrative story your job is I would say is to come up with a story like that that makes all of the things we worry about so much right now completely beside the point that makes all the problems we have right now completely negligible

He slightly looks like Ted Bundy.

He is a philosopher and he has single handedly made all these important tenants of wisdom to the mainstream.

Guess Chuck hasn't heard of Tartaria yet

1:50 hat-tip to the camera person who decided that this gorgeous lady deserves to be immortalised in this video.

Tepoztlán Mexico <3

I am late. 😐

Anyone getting Christian bale vibes?

The audio without the video reminds me of DFW

He is so chad he wasn't even standing, he sit on the table with his shoes off

If he thinks film was bad back then 🤦🏻‍♂️

I have just started reading his books-(of course loved movie Fight Club). -editor good job cutting to the cute girl at 1:53. He is fascinating to listen to. I can’t wait to read the stack of his books I have ready.

<3

Protesting and oil ?! How relevant to todays society

1:53 I want to somehow go back to 2003 and ask this girl out

Watching this in 2020 makes me wonder if this is the story he was talking about; are we in the break?

Chuck has a point.

imagine this fucker teaching you in university

Star Trek was a step in the right direction-space colonization. But that isn't enough. A good story will do more than keep the human race alive and thriving in the cosmos. A really good story has to save the human soul. The beginnings of a modern and reasonable formulation of this story was proposed by Nikolai Fyodorov.

this is aging so well <3

Why did the camera pan on some girl?

when every professor or teacher always say that the only good thing in life is successful job but chuck says that the best thing in life is reaching and making a great story of your life...this man is god

The press is so awefull, let them be prepared ...

When he talked about a killer video tape I had a full minute thinking he was talking about Infinite Jest

there is nothing directing our thoug….. oh hey have you joined social media yet?

@1:54

I paused this thing at 4:20 because the leaf blower next door was making so much noise that I could not hear this. Maybe the leaf blower is making more sense.

If you like what you are watching, go watch his podcast interview with Joe Rogan

He looks like Jack Kerouac

2009: "We need a new meta-narrative." 2012: "All white people are racist, all cis people are transphobic, and all men benefit from a culture of predatory misogyny." 2018: "PROGRESSIVISM IS CANCER!"

hey guys

love this guy. his fight club seemingly drunken psychadelic nihilistic days lol i feel him looks old video

" the next thing will be a story ". 911!

Couldnt the entire world learn so much about how to treat one another by doing things like this more often. Judging from the response, I think we'd all embrace it into our lives (excuse the pun) haha so beautiful.
