Carl Jung studied mythologies from around the world and was fascinated by the similarities in all cultures. Though some have never been in contact, they tell the same stories and even have the same dreams. Some say this is proof of a collective consciousness. There are also similarities in near death experiences. Jesus and Buddha might not have literally gone so long without food or water, but that doesn’t mean that they didn’t exist. Perhaps people dramatized their stories to spread the wisdom and truth of the words. I just learned while watching Roseanne’s podcast that the Jewish texts have many scientific and mathematical teachings. Like they knew the world was round before the west, the two men who funded Christoforo Colombo’s expedition to the new World were Jewish men who eventually converted to Christianity.

So god created a world full of complexity. Math, science, an entire universe. Dimensions. Takes a single planet out of trillions. Makes humans. Punishes humans for being human. Sends him self down as the ultimate sacrifice to him self. And then dips, promising that one day half the planet will burn in hell. 🥰🥰🥰 amen

Not necessarily. They are definitely hurt people tho. Religion isnt bad until people think theyre better, and that tends to happen with people that are hurt…

I just commented on your newest video, and ended up watching this one too xD.... part of the reason why I chose Islam is because of that, Allah is just arabic word for God, not a human, not a being, just something that human cannot comprehend, no multiple Gods, etc. For me personally, the way I see it, the "rules" exist for human to live in society, kinda like, everything that created has manual book, computer has manual book, washing machine has manual book, well.. human too. But yea, great video!! I might check out the cosmic horror haha

I'm a muslim and HUGE science nerd with math degree, for me personally, it took a WHILE to "accept" all of this stuff mostly because a lot of "religious" people dont really have rational reasoning, don't really read the scripture itself, just accept things, blabla I couldn't connect with a lot of them....a total mess, but yea I finally found it.... and one of them is because of one of my fav theorems called Godel's Theorem, it gives me comfort about incompleteness but also about God. But anw, good video! I like the last part, when you said that it won't be a religion anymore but more a new branch of science, I find it interesting because religion and science has the same root, we just wanna answer where are we from and other existential question, etc.......... we might not agree in some things, but yea good video:)

Look up the transcendental argument for God. You can’t even have reason or logic without God.

Your ego is stopping you from being truly happy and receiving eternal life. I was once like you--young and naive. I pray one day you see. God bless 🙏🏼

Do you believe consciousness? How can you prove it? In you? In others?

The evidence is there. Read the bible. Ever hear of mind, body and spirit? Why is that a used concept within many areas of study? Why is spirit included? Where does material come from, or how has it come to exist or have originated? Is it just some 'thing' that has made it all come about, with such organised and beautifully articulated species and elements, of which are all superbly beautiful in their uniquely individual essences. Jesus Christ had thousands of eye witnesses, and in the bible, the many things noted or mysteriously predicted have been prophecied. The remains of Noahs ark has been found. The area has been carefully scoped out and examined. Moses splitting the Red Sea in 2, has also had many different artefacts found in the exact area of where it happened. The stone that had water flowing from it in the dry desert, was also found with water-formed grooves to prove it happened. The flood and it's impact on the layers of sediment which have been excavated, with fossils swallowing other animals or galloping or looking back and are frozen or paralysed by debris and water having solidified their bodies. I don't know the correct terminology. The evidence you're "not" looking for is all out there. Stop being so ignorant like the majority. True Christians are the minority for a reason. Christianity is openly hated by the world for whatever reason. People call out into the world for something to help them from their constant struggles, and that help came downand suffered for us and because of us, and this is where we are still, rejecting God - the One Who gave us life in abundance. Mere human reasoning is just pathetic when speaking of such a beautiful being that has orchestrated everything so perfectly and divinely. A big bang did not happen. This was all very carefully created, by a beautiful, caring, loving and selfless being - The Lord, God and father of all. All knees will bow and all tongues will confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Women thrive in achievement too. Fundamental misunderstanding there. Rest and beauty are good for men too. It also made think think of that meme of a man and a woman walking and the man is saying *women are such complexe creatures* with the woman interjecting *if I could just-*; the man *so strange and difficult to understand; woman *let me just expl-* .... man: *truly a mystery lol. The words of this psychotherapist are no revelation. No offense. They are also coming from one woman. One woman cannot explain the experience of all. It's different for everybody. The things we share are and have been known and understood by women since forever. Never heard a woman say "Please be loyal, please be supportive, please show up for me emotionally?"

The title interested me, but there's no way I'm watching 38 minutes of this. 2 minutes in and I'm already bored.

Dude women dont wanna date you because you have a pre-copernicus concept of reality where you are the center and the universe and women spin around you. You are full of half assed semi intelligent knowledge pieces of philosophy and psychology that has absolutely nothing to do with reality because you are so self absorbed. Idk why youtube recommended me your videos and you know, I NEVER COMMENT on youtube but your arrogance pissed me off so hard that i am typing this message. Please for sake of god, start studying actual philosophy from actual philosophers, read Plato and Aristotele, listen to lectures, read Marx himself and not half assed posts on reddit or 4chan or what not, humble yourself, take psilocybin or something - but please stop bothering people with your non scientific theories and thesises and stop rolling your eyes when your guests dont understand what the fuck you are saying (becauss i legit dont understand what the fuck you are sayin and im not stupid), start respecting people around you and start to listen to them, their stories and their lives, instead of imposing your insufferable opinions on them when they just wanna have their breakfast

I thought i was insufferable with my interest in philosophy but then i found your channel

Dude how much do you pay these people to listen you

cringe. You have a too big of an ego and naive to merge two concepts. Maybe spend some time educating yourself in philosophy starting from basics. You should rewatch this video and watch your face, your eyes, your gestures - you seem very arrogant and obviously think you are smarter and deeper than people around you. This kitchen as a "stage" for you is your best shot anyways. Be humble, man.

This is ultimate nonsense Source: im a woman

love this. is your book out yet?

You are autistic?

I wish you gave a specific/practical example of what you mean by extending the offer of a fantasy world to a woman and her copping out/being distrustful.

feels like you moved to armenia because your views are more welcome there. not meant as an attack or anything. I'm half tempted to read your books, but i might feel like slapping you with it. not that i would.

I take umbrage with generalities. They oversimplify the nuanced complexity of human nature and make us all worse for it. Please avoid such characterizations of any group, it is not truth. I wonder if the issue is whether these women have spent enough time with you to properly contextualize the things you are telling them. Time spent together is important because words are just words; we can vomit them all over someone, but they may not have seen your day-to-day persona enough to know whether what you are telling them is a faithful characterization of yourself or bs. Actions speak louder, after all. At least if you give them the information over time, when it is relevant, they can make a more informed decision about this new information in the greater context of your relationship. They might decide that what you have is worth compromising for. Don't be dishonest or misleading, but a little mystery is sexy. Why do you feel the need to share anything and everything right away? Are you afraid that if you don't, they will find out something about you later on and leave anyway, so you don't want to waste time? Also, I wonder, would you do this to a guy you just met or didn't know well, or is it only with women you expect to have a romantic relationship with? If this is the case, I would evaluate your motivation. This is a little hard to explain, but if you are only doing it with relationship potentials, it seems like you are putting the horse before the cart, valuing the concept of the relationship itself over the actual experience of having and being in a relationship with someone. "Relationship" and "getting to know one another" kind-of go together, you know what I mean? Like... I feel that relationships of all kinds exist because I can only see myself from my perspective. Even if you think you are giving them your whole self right away... are you? Are you 100% confident that you know and are characterizing yourself accurately? I don't think it is possible. Finally, and I am not saying you are doing this but, in my experience, when some people say "honest" they mean "judgmental", so do be careful of that.

Your perspective is really biased. It's all about "what I do right" vs "what women do wrong". The dynamic you describe is you coming into a relationship being too intense and needy, and the women spending the whole relationship working up the courage to break it off and not cause further damage. In relationships both people are seeking healing through intimacy, and by you coming in too strong with your own baggage, you are driving potential romantic partners away, because by being too blinded by your own baggage, they can't expect you to help them with their baggage.

This reality is like a dream. In dreams, what you see is symbolic. Reality is no different. What is the symbol these women represent to you? You see it as a personal failure that they left eventually. Perhaps this theorizing is you trying to figure out why you failed. Perhaps as long as you see yourself as a failure, reality will offer you opportunities to reinforce that belief. Are you a failure? Just because women left you? No. And you wouldn’t be a failure no matter what happens to you. But you can experience the experience of feeling like a failure if that is what you believe you are

If I was in your shoes, I’d be asking why I keep picking the “wrong” woman. I know I was for a long time. Sure, they are actually immature but why are those the ones you pick to date? The first sign that my soon-to-be wife was different was that she was so open with me the first time I met her, it kinda caught me off guard! I wasn’t used to that much openness but man it was refreshing. Keep your head up, heal yourself and it’ll get better!

Very nice subject. Thank you for the nice rant. :)

Sounds like praxeology. You might like Ludwig von Mises

its so cringe when people who dont know what they are talking about look confident and make absolute shit analogies

851 years ago, this kind of sharp tongue and quick wit would make one a fearsome preacher. the ability to gymnast facts, wildly jump between unrelated topics building emotional bridges between them, and effectively create narrative/semantic voids just to fill them with performance driven authority moments later... only difference might be that them then preachers actually held some aspects of the human condition to be sacred. economics is everything and everywhere, just like god was, or france, or the class struggle ... similar to controlled explosive dihaerrea as a skill, to be able to reduce every conceivable topic down to a/the single same thing is a marvellously empowering feeling. and that power is necessary, to be able to wilfully ignore any other interpretation or narrative, or rather .... "single point of reduction". unlike most of the "buy my book" crowd, you have apparently managed to monetise with at least a modicum of success. nothing wrong with that, jsut that i don't really see any value being created here. at least not after my surface glance at the relevant bio. i'm guessing some people will pay top ruble for someone to condescend at them for a while, or ... whatever this is... be that as it may, why not try and peddle this stuff somewhere outside of a post-soviet country that had it's intellectual elite thoroughly exterminated in favour of more marxist-leaning intelligentsia. saaay ... someplace decidedly evangelical in the US or perhaps singapore? fuck, i just watched the last few seconds. your idea of marxism is entirely wrong in a very american way by the sound of it. not being versed in that might explain the rest of the shitpost-level take on political economy or the economy of politics (tho im fairly certain you are fumbling through the former here). either way, best of luck, and I hope random chance throws your work my way again in some 10 years or so. would be interesting to see where it goes from here.

I have an unusual situation in our current society. My girlfriend WANTS to be treated as a non-volitional object. I don't treat her that way though, and it frustrates her that I make her think for herself and make decisions. AND I hold her accountable for her choices, which she really has a hard time accepting. This woman wants me to make all of the financial decisions and to only give her money when she has something in mind that she wants to buy. Did I mention that she likes to call me daddy? That is not a dynamic that I manufactured, or even desired, it is just how she wants to think of me. She wants to be controlled, and she wants me to control her. But most of the time, I am uncooperative with her efforts to be this way because I'm not willing to assume all the responsibility for both of our choices. My life is hard enough without having to take responsibility for her life in addition to my own. I'm sure this personality mismatch will eventually lead to the relationship ending, but I'll just keep riding while it lasts. BTW, I believe she is this way because she was raised by her DAD. Her mom left when she was young, and is not a part of her life. If I had the life that I think I would have in a healthier society, I would feel like more of a man for accomplishing my goals in life. If that were the case, I would be in a much better position to rule over another person. Only then would I feel like I could treat a woman this way and be justified and right in doing so. But the way things currently are, I'm barely making ends meet and feel that I don't have any business making anybody else's decisions for them. Nor should any other loser.

Your popularity reflects your philosophy

A gay man would disagree. This is definitely the perspective of a man who is sexually attracted to women.

I'm also ethnically Armenian, raised in America, and interested in visiting/getting citizenship in Hayastan (which is how I came across your center). In listening to you speak, I keep wondering what you hoped to gain in yourself from immigrating? In your website and this interview, you talk a lot about what you hope to offer/teach to Armenians - English language, entrepreneurial mindset, "hippies," etc. - but I can't help but wonder if you've allowed yourself to change as well during this move? Personally, when I think about moving to the motherland, I get extremely excited at the idea of learning traditional crafts, songs, cooking, etc. To me, a big reason why I travel is to deprogram my own culture and learn from the locals rather than trying to spread my own values and ideology. To be honest, our individualist American culture has made me feel extremely lonely for most of my life, and if/when I move to Hayastan I want to build relationships with my neighbors and seek advice from my elders and have the feeling of the big Armenian family that the genocide took from me. And in order to do that, I know I'm going to have to get uncomfortable, question my own values and upbringing, make myself vulnerable, and change some things about myself. I'm going to have to confront the fact that, even though I passively "am" Armenian, I still have so much to learn in order to actively BE part of Armenia. So I guess my question is: are you trying to explore and connect with your Armenian heritage, or are you trying to create a little America within Armenia? If the first, what do you think Armenia can offer to you, and are you accepting it? If the second, why bother going to Armenia at all?

Brand is the container that holds reputation and promises.

You don't need to say "bear with me" in a book, you just have more pages.

In 1960, NASA commissioned the Brookings Institute to compile a report on the cultural impact of extra-terrestrial encounters. The report, published in 1961, noted that throughout human history, whenever a lower technological culture encounters a higher technological culture, the result is ALWAYS the complete devastation of the less advanced culture. Brookings recommended that if human astronauts encountered more advanced aliens, the evidence should be suppressed for the good of humanity; and that if those astronauts encountered less advanced aliens, we should leave them the hell alone, for the good of that culture.

I interacted with many tourists and very few of them had the same unique perspective and mentality that you have about traveling, actually I have to say about everything. The 19-year-old Swiss girl, Bily who almost traveled around the world on her bicycle, which was really amazing to me, what a wide thought and insight about the world and how to interact with people and what special effects it can have on people. everyone do not see this world the same way u view، Mr Gregory I have met and talked with many tourists, for whom the number of countries they have traveled is important. Tourists whose most enjoyable part of their trip was staying in Dubai hotels. But what has always been interesting to me is that the tourists who travel to Iran are completely different people who are not looking for a luxurious hotel with special facilities. They are looking for something beyond imagination. I will read this book as soon as possible, I am sure that your experiences that you shared in this book can be useful for everyone

I would guess that that language safe space is in part a semi-deliberate defense mechanism developed as a response to being invaded, taken over, genocided, etc, through history. From having scary neighbors. For one, if the scary neighbors don't know your language, rarely even hear it, it means you can speak privately. For another, when cultural identity is always being ground down, it's something to hold onto psychologically, but also practically, to tell friend from foe. And it is a somewhat passive form of resistance to forced assimilation, one that the scary neighbor who just moved in might find harder to complain about. After generations of it, it is going to be very hard to let go of. And from what I understand, there is reason to believe it might be needed again. The guy you were talking to might have said something along those lines, but he was very hard to understand, between his accent and how his voice was muffled in the audio.

As a person who lived in the Armenian society for 6 months and tried to find a place between them and work with them, I totally agree with Gregory. I'm so happy and grateful that people like Gregory are trying their best to make a change here. I hope Armenians who are looking forward to seeing their country and their society develop and become more progressive find Gregory and cooperate with him through this process that he has already started in his own house in Kalavan.

I'm Currently taking notes on your video. 12 minutes into your video but have taken notes for last 30min almost word for word. You two are a gold mine. Thankyou for this. Your understandings couldn't have come at a better time.

Capitalism is the death of creativity.

Not a top ten ToDo book, but what might be useful is a book of concrete use cases for the ideas you've presented in the abstract. Either made up or real. Stories about applying these ideas at a very, very local level. A mom & pop shop, or a farmer, a kid who mows lawns in his neighborhood for money, or even a poor person trying to dig himself out. There's a book called "Reinventing Organizations by Frederic Laloux that takes some of Ken Wilbur's very abstract principles and shows how they are being applied across a variety of companies, charitable orgs, etc. It does a great job of cementing the knowledge of those principles while also implying - though not explicitly giving - practical advice. "The Goal" by Eliahu Goldratt does the same basic thing for his own ideas about how businesses work, told as almost a novel. Neither book's subject is exactly in the vein of what you are discussing, but both are worth reading on their merits for their ideas, and both are examples of the kind of thing I'm suggesting. --Reinventing Orgs is about fully integrating employee skills, knowledge, and values into a company and flattening the heirarchy, but in a very different way than the usual kumbaya worker's rights political crap. It's a philosophy, not a technique or a specific practice. --The Goal is about a business strategy - in this case manufacturing - based on identifying the bottleneck to a business (at a holistic level), eliminating it, then identifying the next one down the line (there's always, by definition, one and only one bottleneck). It's one of those popular "must reads" for computer programmers, because the basic principles apply far outside manufacturing or even business.

this was said about Greek, Latin... and then what?

So when are you going to fix the stoopid spellings in English? Physics should be Fiziks!

Well well well... look what the algo brought to my timeline. Ha. Still looking like a young deadmau5 👅 hope life's treating you nice. It's been 8 years, geez...

Thanks, Gregory, for making your book available like this!

I appreciate your video

Gregory, I’ve read two of your books so far - The Influential Author and The Heroic & Exceptional Minority, in that order - and you’ve become one of my favorite and inspirational authors. By the end of reading the latter, I felt your ideas resonated with mine so deeply, I began to consider you one of my mentors - along with Jordan Peterson and Dostoevsky, among several others. Then, I found out you’re an American of Armenian descent, from Southern California, like myself - which connected me with you even more. I stumbled upon The Influential Author while searching for an appropriate book to guide me through the writing of my first book (which I am currently working on). I found the audiobook so helpful that I ordered the hard copy as well, for reference. I would love to discuss some of my ideas with you, and it would mean a greater deal to me if you’d be a mentor of mine, personally. As my mentor, I’d be looking for guidance on the collection, filtering, and organization of my ideas, and on the writing process. Even having some deep, meaningful conversations with you would be invaluable to me. The book I am working on, as well as my overall philosophy, is seemingly very similar to yours. My initial inspiration to start writing was that I love teaching and helping others become better versions of themselves. The next inspiration is my great grandfather (may he rest in peace), whose name was also Gregory, and who had published a book (in Armenian) about life in Mousa Ler during his time.
