The Problem with Humans
What is the problem with humans?
We Aren’t Born Free:
From the moment we’re born, society gives us rules and expectations to follow. These aren’t things we choose-they’re handed to us.
Illusions Control Us:
Over time, we start believing in these rules, fears, and desires as if they’re the truth. This makes us slaves-not to people, but to ideas we didn’t choose.
Childhood: First Layer of Control:
As kids, we’re like soft clay, easily shaped by parents, teachers, and society.
We’re taught to obey, sit still, and chase things like success, money, and status.
Our natural curiosity and joy are replaced by the pressure to achieve.
Adolescence: Desire to Fit In:
As teens, we start comparing ourselves to others and craving approval.
Social media makes this worse by showing only the “perfect” parts of people’s lives.
We lose our individuality by following the crowd and trying to “fit in.”
Adulthood: Trapped by “Success”:
Adults spend their lives chasing money, careers, and things they don’t need.
We wake up, work jobs we hate, buy things to impress others, and call it "normal."
Most people never stop to ask, “Why am I doing this?”
What Does It Mean to Live Naturally?:
Living naturally means breaking free from these rules and illusions.
It’s about finding happiness in simple things, listening to your own inner voice, and being content with less.
As kids, we found joy in just being alive. We can return to that state by letting go of unnecessary burdens.
Breaking Free is Hard but Worth It:
To escape the system, we must question everything we believe.
Simplify life: Let go of things that don’t matter and focus on what brings true happiness.
Reconnect with nature, spend time in silence, and remember you’re not a robot.
The Goal:
To find real freedom and happiness, we must unlearn the false ideas society gave us and rediscover who we truly are.

But when you take a closer look, there are big problems hiding underneath. These problems don’t just affect the West-they spread to the rest of the world. Your essay talks about five main issues: 1. Individualism: In the West, people focus on themselves and their ...

Nietzsche and the Revaluation of Morality

Nietzsche and the Revaluation of Morality Friedrich Nietzsche challenges traditional ideas about morality, arguing that it is not universal or objective but a product of human psychology.

Why I want to escape this system (And what's holding me back).

I want to escape this system. This so-called modern life seems pointless and has no true meaning in the long term. The thought of death lingers above me and makes everything meaningless. I want to live my life and enjoy it while I'm young and capable rather than follow the traditional wait where we grind until we're 65. The only way to escape this system and rat race that makes sense to me so f...
The Illusion of Being in Control
Переглядів 222 місяці тому
We all think that we are in control. That we have some sense of control in our lives and that we're going to be great. We like to think there is some predictability, and so we hold onto what we believe we can guide us and give us a sense of control. This is an illusion that controls our lives instead.
The Truth About Being Attractive

Being attractive gives you advantages, like better treatment in social situations, work, and relationships.

Attractive people are often seen for their appearance only, and their deeper qualities are ignored. Bea...

You would make this decision later on. So why not now?

Do not prolong your suffering. There's a limit to what we can bear. Do not stay in that awful situation that makes you suffer more. In the future, you will decide to make a decision to get away and suffering will push you there. It's better if you decide now than making that same decision you would have made later on in life.

What Attracts Most Women - Science and Psychology
Western dominance results from rational scientific thinking and then also simply from consumer goods which then become cultural goods and people in Egypt, Tehran, Beijing and Russia actually have young people who voluntarily decide to wear jeans, they are not forced to dress in a western way: and the inequality in societies in the area of wealth and income, so the social systems in western countries are considerably better for the societies, what you also have to say is when a society and that is the western societies, produce highly specialised services and unique technical industrial goods, um, then there are also wealthy people living there and then there are some who are less wealthy but I would rather be less wealthy in Central and Eastern Europe than in North Africa or in Southeast Asia and all elites of the non-Western world are all Western in lifestyle and their children will be even more Western educated than the generation before them the individualism here is not even precisely defined in your statement because it is also a type of suffering, so across all cultures I have to take individual responsibility if I leave a family, whether I am Muslim or live in the western world, whether I live in a community in Africa or in a community in Brazil, yes, I have to take responsibility for my own actions, I am never free and I am actually only restricted by my society, as is the case in many cultures, I have assessed this as a European who has lived in the Middle East, the family structures are stronger but there is a price to pay, as soon as you are more than three people you have to follow completely different rules.
And a good example of the influence of cultures is that the mainland Chinese consume a lot from Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea. Countries that are more developed and democratic also produce better cultural services because I can put a mobile phone together in a dictatorship with mental and physical pressure on my back, but to be creative I need a free society that gives me security through contractual security.
Western thinking is a globalist virus. Only via individualist propaganda can all these elites and citizens from disparate nations be divorced from their cultural origins and instead serve this new world order.
You will be assimilated.
Regarding the western cultural dominance, western culture dominates for a reason. Hot take, but people all over the world choose it willingly, and it takes actual violence to the point of terrorism to push them back into eastern cultures. And even hotter take: every thing that the West appropriates from other cultures only gets better because of it. Positive things get cherry-picked, negative things get disregarded. The West adopted some yoga practices from India, but not the caste system. And I would rather be served milder westernized "Indian" food than get poisoned by actual Indian food as one blogger recently did. But this may just be my cultural bias that I am not going to get rid of.
Why is it that every time people bring up individualism vs collectivism the latter is viewed as exclusively positive? Isn't that because people living individually imagine a fairy tale world? The one full of support and comradery rather than pressure and control? Religious cults are collective and even supportive to some extent. Wanna join in? Not a religious person, but still want a collective? Sure. There is a wonderful land of North Korea where social workers won't let you feel lonely. They will show up at your apartment to check whether you clean the leader's portrait with a proper tissue (not an exaggeration). Or something in between, like a traditional rural society? Not a problem, I think they can arrange a marriage for you.
Hubris and entitlement.
we are meant to live in communities, and i recommend "Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty" good luck
I like your worldview, I get how you are feeling because I feel the same way, a short backstory about me, I'm 25 from Iceland and decided five years ago that that I wanted to leave the system in in Iceland because the this way of life is not fulfilling and when I looked into the ways of life in europe and the usa its similar so I'm going to build a small town{not in europe or america} and build a new system, if you are interested in joining me or just talking about the ways of life let me know. Here is a small rant about some of the issues, The trajectory of the west is looking quite bad and a lot(most) of these societies are not going to be improving, opportunities have been hoarded by the capital owners, wages have been set at a minimum, the bureaucracy is burdening, the culture is way to selfish, men and women are not getting along and forming families, luxury beliefs, luxury lifestyles, money printing is massive, inequality is widening, we have no community, the western way of life is not sustainable and is declining. Actually most current countries have unsustainable systems.
Criticism, but no solution or alternative, is easy. What do you suggest, that already hasn't been tried & found to be worse?
@@thedamnedatheist spoken like a true liberal.
"To critique is to transcend." - Henry David Thoreau. Criticism is not easy. It is much easier to be a yes man and move with the herd of non-critical thinkers. That is, a lemming amongst lemmings. Conforming is easy. It's the critics who totalitarians, demagogues, and multinational plutocrats come after first. There is also a difference between a critic and an ideologue / contrarian. "The only thing worse than a conformist is a fashionable non-comformist." - Ayn Rand. A critic is deeply courageous. Socrates was a critic, just as B.R. Ambedkar, MLK Jr. etc.
In short liberalism is the problem.
Yep! 💯👍

谢谢。我很高兴。
Great job! Well done ! Thank you.
I’m not quite antinatalist but I’m very close to it. I have a set of steps I go down when it comes to having kids. 1. Do you want to have a child? - if you say no stop here 2. Do you think you could provide that child a happy life? - if you say no stop here 3. Can you accept the child if it ends up very different from you religiously or politically. Are you willing to accept that your child is a seperate being? - if you say no stop here If you say yes to all these then there’s the question of should you have a child that is genetically your own or should you file for adoption? Would you be just as satisfied doing foster care? There are so many children in the world who are suffering already and why bring a new life to this earth when there are plenty of children in need of help and plenty of children being born every day. Now I say these are steps but myself and any potential romantic partners are the only ones I expect to actually go down this path. I personally don’t want kids but if I ever get kids I don’t think having biological kids is a good option for me
Being attractive enhances your soul qualities as well, so beauty does run deep. The physically beautiful are God’s chosen people, you are blessed to be in their presence.
It's not paradox. It's a mental disorder of not being self aware
Care to elaborate?
@@p3philopsychopolitics i had a wife. I was in love with her. I wasn't self aware of her hidden toxic behaviour in plain sight. I got married and her behaviour surfaced much more, by that time it was too late. So if you are self aware of yourself and others then you can tell who is right person to be with and who not to. There is no paradox involved here. It's just that today's generation lack common sense, social skills, context awarness, self awarness, standards, self esteem etc...

No problemo mate
Some people are born to suffer. And there suffering never ends
Maybe suffering stops when everything goes blank and we know nothing after that because we no longer exist.

Emotional blackmail is also threats of physical harm. Mine said he'll make me go missing if I took his child from him.
Yes. That's true.
My father loves gaslighting my reality, giving silent treatment, putting me through isolation, playing mind games, giving me depression, anxiety, feeling like shit yes I am very angry at my abusive narcissistic gaslighting father and his flying monkeys.
It's very hard. I understand.
Who's quote is that
Franz Kafka
I do not agree. If there is a debate, and a point is being presented, it is the responsibility of the presenter to support his/her points with evidences. It is also his/her job to present the way, or logical reasoning of how the conclusion was arrived at. Imposing one's own will is simply archaic and a primitive method of winning.
You fail to see how the world truly is. You only argue, because you're allowed to. The strong allow it, and they don't need to argue with you to prove themselves right, they simply do what they want and take what they want. Take prison for example, away from the feeble rules of society, the weak suffer and the strong rule. You can't argue in prison, you can't argue with an attacker that comes for your family, you can't argue with the government elitists. And this I believe is the lie of modern society, in the near past, you went to battle to repay a misdeed, that's how you asserted your will. Try arguing with an occupying army and let's see how that goes.

I just discover about Max today , and I thought how can I have the same thoughts without knowing about him, that's interesting
Same thoughts here. It's so insane how you can find philosophical thoughts that align with your thoughts or world views. It truly is a small world.
I think Stirner did not make an exception when pursuing one's own desires that you should not hurt others. If you care about another you will not desire to harm them, but if you care for them so much that you subordinate your own desires, then your caring makes you their servant and they become more to you than yourself. In the extreme, he does not shrink from doing what others will think a crime. Also, your background music almost drowned out your voice until you dropped it at the end.
Hard read. Since i'm new to this, whats the point of reading a single mans theory? He could be wrong, has hasn't been endowed with divine knowledge, why spend hours dissecting 338 pages worth of words? Curious to get someones opinion.
Why read or listen to anything?
@@p3philopsychopolitics would you take the time to read or listen to something widely accepted as false by most of the population? What kind of pleasure do you derive from reading this sort of thing?
I dont mean false in the way that fiction is false, i mean plain wrong
@@Choll546 Everybody has their opinions. I like to think that even if the person is wrong, they are not totally wrong in everything they say, we can still learn from them. The same applies to religions, and cultures, you might not agree with everything but there are things you might agree with. Even if you do not agree with things all in all, that itself is an experience where we are able to explore other ideas.
@@p3philopsychopolitics hm, good advice! Maybe i'll get through this book after all.
