"There is a false saying: “How can someone who can’t save himself save others?” Supposing I have the key to your chains, why should your lock and my lock be the same? "
Friedrich Nietzsche
We are both a representation of mankind, my suffering is not different from yours, so fundamentally we are the same.
@@Doopliss77 Yet our ways of suffering can be quite different. Poverty isn't the same as a poor heart. They both require adequate solutions.
@@Doopliss77 True, we are the same. However the manner in which my perception of our shared suffering expresses itself, may be entirely alien to your perception of the same events. That is the treasure of mankind. The fact that Each human perceives an entirely unique universe unto themselves.
Viktor Frankls mans search for meaning focuses on that exact point.
@@geordieellis1249 For sure! That was the first book I read completely through as an adult, I believe he also states that this idea is the one foundational thing you can never strip away from a human being.
Its been a while, but its something like our capacity to react to the external world in whatever manner we choose is one of the few things we TRULY have complete control over. Thanks for reminding me about that book, it covers some uniquely insightful (albeit horrific) stuff. Cheers!
How to be psychologist in ye olde days:
- have a degree in psychology
- addicted to some kind of drugs
- be slightly eccentric
- have a beard (optional)
What if i took a class and i have books in psychology??? i passed with a B
I do the last 3, the last one is indeed optional,

Relatable and based,at least the seconnd and third are relatable
If your stuck half way down the pit of metal illnesses and understand it through clarity ,though you may not get out of the pit completely yourself ...you yourself understand your fall ,even if it’s normalised your demeanour..at least you can shout up and tell people to tred carefully ..or try to help them out..even if you are still stuck halfway yourself..maybe ..lol..I’m no expert just Friday night television for me..probably stating the obvious
-smoke a cigar or a pipe. (this might coincide with no. 2).
-have a bookcase full of arcane books...and maybe a human skull.
My sister's friend went to med school to study psychiatry and he says that psychiatrists tend to have therapists of their own. People who find the study of psychology enticing tend to have mental health issues themselves.
There are multiple reasons for psychiatrists to have therapist on their own, it usually is a legal requirement in many countries to have it so. This because in order to be able to understand a client perspective, the psychiatrist need to be able to have been in the client shoes. Another reason for this is that when you work with people with mental problems, even if you don't have it yourself, you take on a big burden from the clients be listening to there problems whole the time, and by having your own therapist you can once again un-burden what you take up from your clients. A third reason is guidance in your own practice, by having a therapist on your own, that therapist can make you become aware of your own biases with clients, and help you improve your own practice.
Do the therapist’s therapists have therapists?
@John Proctor, lol, yep. Bad parenting is the solid base for a whole profession. The loop has to close towards teaching good enough parenting. But hey, no laws against screwing your childs up. So , we'll probably see this profession flourish furthermore.
@@fbi5700 I was thinking about that. By this logic, there has to be this one last therapist who takes up all the shit at the end of this cycle 😅
Hal Phantom not everything has to do with bad parenting.
Have you heard the tragedy of psychiatrist R.D. Laing? I thought not. It’s not a story the philosophers would tell you.

When you are extremely insightful and intelligent you can pull back the layers of your illness and properly examine it while still being dogged by it. This ends up being extremely beneficial when building understanding and facilitating potential outcomes with clients. However, knowing your demon and defeating it are two very different things. I give hope to mankind, I keep none for myself.
This comment is quite Correct
Yup kinda cool 😎
haha probably one of the greatest comments i’ve seen on youtube, this is so true! but understanding the issue and fixing the cause are two completely different things. wish you the best of luck on your conquest
@@lgarcia0909 Thank you, I wish you the same.
i guess seeing as one is insightful and intelligent. it would also mean ur demons in one self is more insightful and intelligent; meaning they are better at avoiding being defeated. and hiding and justifying their pathology to the person themselves and other people.

Good share. It's often the case that when helping others we're able to take a more objective view of problems and thus find it easier to find solutions. However, often applying the same to ourselves is often more difficult as our judgement is clouded by emotion and turmoil.
That's the answer on: Why did the monk tell him what he told him?
To be able to apply it to one self
yeah that’s exactly it, in our own brains there is a battle between logic and emotion. when looking at the issues of others we see it purely through the eyes of logic and that allows us to give rationally sound advice. when we solve problems ourselves things often seen very confusing as our brain is going in two different directions with explanations that both seem just as true as the other
Damn.

I wish I had Laings motivation to keep striving for success in a particular field of interest, I've always blamed past traumas for my lack of motivation, but then I hear about his past with his parents and how he kept going anyway; makes me wonder what particular ingredient from my pathological recipe burdens me still...
I would highly recommend that you find an EMDR therapist, emdr therapy allows one to get to the root of their ailment (in your case, lack of motivation). once the root memory is revealed, the emdr allows for that traumatic memory to be physically restructured in the brain to include the newfound perspective on the experience, thus allowing the individual to be free from the ailment caused by the traumatic event. EMDR has helped me significantly, and the feeling is literally like a weight is lifted from the soul.
You should look out for ADHD, because of their need for instant gratification (dopamine), it's common for them to diverge themselves in various hobbies (and not being able to stay in it for a prolonged period of time) to keep themselves from getting bored and attend this lack of dopamine. Also, dopamine is directly linked to motivation, given that dopamine is the neurotransmitter that rewards us then we get a task done, people lacking this neurotransmitter are not rewarded enough for their actions and that leads them into feeling unmotivated and practically going through life by their sheer will and momentary motivations that life often provides.
This lack of dopamine is what causes them to not be able to focus, there's not an attention deficit but more of an excess of shift of attention. You see, the ADHD brain is constantly looking to satisfy this lack of dopamine throughout external stimulation, so it shifts attention to other tasks that could better satisfy this need for it to be stimulated instead of staying focused the task at hand. Because of this, the ADHD brain cannot (or at least is becomes very difficult without coping methods) to concentrate in a task for a prolonged period of time.
This causes them to seek out a new hobby whenever they get bored with it (because it stops stimulation, thus it stops giving them dopamine and because of that, motivation to remain in it) and shift to something they find more interesting. This tendency to look for stimulation can also come in maladaptive ways, like alcohol or drugs (which work momentarily and to a certain degree, but fail in the long term due to the horrific side effects they can have) or even risky behaviour (that endangers their life). However a large percentage also canalizes that craving into school, business and even philosophy.
That's how i stumbled into this channel and other sources of philosophical thought. As a person with ADHD, you often crave this sense of urgency that your immediate surroundings often do not give you, for others this motivation can come from philosophy or life changing events. This lack of urgency often made my life dull and made me stop looking to progress in all aspects of my life, which often led to depression and stupid decisions i made in the past. So i thought my problem was an existential one, i thought that i lacked purpose (which was true, i'm just a kid in his 20's still trying to figure out who he is) so i became very familiar with Existentialism and Spirituality that did give me some sense of identity, purpose and direction. But even then i often found that after these realizations, the motivation and sense of urgency i lacked was still there. When i was a kid i was diagnosed with ADHD and took medication for a while but stopped since it didn't give me any trouble up until now. I started to look more and more into it and realized that my problem was a psychiatric one, and not only in why i couldn't stick to something in life that i wouldn't abandon or get bored with it a few months in bu it also helped me understand my behaviour in so many ways, explaining in great lenght why i was the way i was. I started to retake medication and began a therapeutic process so that i could learn how to manage my neurodivergent brain and get it to work in a way that i could finally feel more normal and more functional.
Sorry for the long comment, and this is just a thought. There are many reasons why you could feel the way that you do, it's not an easy process to figure out who you are and what you want. It's really hard, at least it has been for me. But i'm happier now, the people around are happier too and i can finally begin to see a path that makes sense with who i am. Hope you find the answers to the questions you have and hopefully you'll soon feel like the path you're on is going somewhere.
P.S I would also like to mention that neurologically, trauma can often mirror symptoms common in and ADHD diagnosis. Lack of attention, lack of motivation, a LOT of anxiety and depression (whether it's mild or major depends on intensity and how often it happens), a feeling of derealization (like if you were on trance, reality feels like being in a dream and what you see or feel doesn't often feel real, not feeling present, feeling completely numb to outside stimulation and often faking emotions and feeling more as if you are acting a role as yourself, but not being that person spontaneously) and being really easily triggered by many situations, often leading to anxiety or panic attacks.
In any case, i'd recommend you go and see a therapist or a psychiatrist so you can learn more about how you feel. Hope this made sense (english is not my native language) and helped a little, or a lot. Have a good day!
dario zhe ty for sharing appreciate, as for me, diagnosed with add it helped quite a bit
@@dariozhe I think this is really helpful, ive had some concerns with seeing a psychologist as i am unsure of their motivations and what they have been taught. As in i feel as though they tend to be very full of themselves and certain they are correct but it seems that many have completely different outlooks. My mother is a psychologist and is fairly certain that we both have ADD so i would like to see a professional (obviously not family) to get diagnosed and try something. I just feel constantly let down by my brain, just unable to pay attention/stay focussed or remember things. I know a lot can contribute to these things but its also really difficult to always have the motivation to keep doing healthy practices to be more stable and healthy. I joke about having early onset dementia but sometimes it feels lile it could be the truth :(
Im only 20 and struggling a lot to find a path having few role models and finding most examples of archetypes that id like to embody through the internet or fiction.
I also wasnt brought up with any religion so i have no real intrinsical sense of greater worth or meaning. A lot of my thought and conclusions have been reached fairly objectively just through seeing different events occur. I still struggle with finding meaning sometimes but ive listening to a bunch of jordan petersons lectures and that has helped a fair bit, i like his mentality of "living as though god does exist". Just choose to believe everything matters otherwise it will just feel empty and meaningless which isnt very useful if you dont want to be depressed. How can there be meaning if you dont care right?
Anyway ive rambled a lot, if you wouldnt mind could you let me know how medication helped and maybe a bit about what path you see as clear? Ive tried psylacibyn mushrooms before and im not going to debage if they are good or bad or right or wrong, but fact is ive never felt more certain or comfortable in seeing the bigger picture than when i had them. I then got my shit together, got a job and a girlfriend and enjoyed life a lot more, she ended up having bipolar and wasnt good with meds then long distance and broke up then work dried up due to drought (no pun intended) so i spiralled a bit. Im sort of back on track with a new girlfriend, moved to coty and have work coming up. I also feel more comfident it myself and what i want to do which is great. Im pretty sure jordan is right with his pillars of meaning or whatever, you need a healthy social life, partner, job diet? Dont remember exactly what it was. Even though im feeling better and have no problem with most work as i said, i feel constantly let down by my brain and feel like i should be applying myself so much more but im just unable to it seems.
Thank you for your recommendations, I will try them.
This dude had it right. I both struggle with Mental Health, have been in psych wards, AND work in the same hospital. The system is meant to kept patients lifetime customers.
I’d be freaking out too if the doughboy looked at me like that
People usually dabble into psychedelics and meditation in search of enlightenment. I wonder if it's because of his troubled childhood, that his vision became blurred. Leading him to spiral downwards.
If the search for enlightenment is a search for knowledge yet unknown, psychedelics seem like the logical choice. What is more unknown than ones own psyche?
My man got locked up for some res? Tough times indeed.
This is my favourite comment lol
I’m guessing your using a computer mic for aesthetics, and if you clean it up a bit. I actually like it, fits the mood.
I think a video ago he made a community post that said he got a new mic but for continuity he would use the shitty one for the videos he was currently working on. I think he'll have the good mic in 1-2 videos.
He commented on his last vid that he’s getting a new mic so u should defo subscribe cause vids after this should have a better mic

Well, I can't save myself either but neither can I save anyone else.
Hey man at least you said it.
Hmmm the word "can't" keep telling yourself that and it'll become true. Orrrr.. you can just say the opposite and try and keep on trying no matter what.
If you believe you cannot save yourself, you will not try.
@@battlefront390x
Don't ever give up. Everything is futile. Doesn't mean you should stop trying. It is what life is. Fighting against entropy. Everything will eventually lose out to it and yet here we are, still fighting against it. If we just gave into it the beautiful and wonderful fuel of life would burn up in a puff having fueled nothing with it.
Do you actually ever think about the gas you burn to get where you need to go? No. But it got you were you were going. The food you ate years ago? No. Yet it kept you alive another day to do whatever it is you are doing now. In spite of entropy we still fight. Never stop trying.
well i am here to brag and say i can and did. sucks to be you mate
6:39 wait is that the origin of the story how someone on salvia thought he was an orange and had a panic attack thinking people want to peel him?
Or is turning into an orange and being peeled just a fundamental archetype in the human psyche lol
We need answers.
I never had any ‘transformative’ experiences with lysergic acid, but plenty of ego loss and odd amendments to my belief structures. Everyone experiences substances differently, but maybe ego loss and some subconscious fear or admiration of fruit played into his trip.
@@DjTempest1337 i think often its less subconcious, and maybe more the concious feeling of tingling, touching, etc transforms into an experience that combines with the subconcious to produce this wild feeling of what we all know well
@@skyluke9476 I agree that the conscious feelings are a precursor to our subconscious translations of the experience. It seems the subconscious plays the biggest part in the life altering aspects of hallucinogens.
@@skyluke9476 Many people experimenting with substances like LSD are trying to just have ‘fun’. While these trips can be novel, without a proper respect for the potency of the experience, I could totally see how someone ‘transcends’ into a muffin, or a werewolf, or the personification of sin or virtue.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.
Is it possible to learn this power?
@@MrNocturnOwl Yeah all you have to do is sacrifice a planet to an esoteric force of darkness in an elongated ritual that will almost certainly destroy you in the process. But hey, it worked for Plagueis..

This reminds me of George Robert Price (October 6, 1922 - January 6, 1975). He was an American population geneticist that wrote what is still widely held to be the best mathematical, biological and evolutionary representation of altruism. He gave away all his possessions in pursuit of this and then died by presumed suicide.

I find the lsd inquiry interesting. It's kind of funny, I have on more than one occasion had other trippers figure out I was one of them due to my framing of things. I am a firm believer that if one trips for the purpose of expanding their mind they will do just that. There are many people I have known that have done psychedelics and have a much different outlook on life than most people. When I say expand your mind that doesn't imply an increase in intelligence but rather a releasing of shackles. As if instead of thinking outside the box you have entirely divorced yourself from the box in the first place and only use the parameters you once knew as a method to articulate your thoughts in a manner that can be deciphered by normal people.
It really makes you wonder about the high monkey hypothesis. That if our level of cognition which permits us to contemplate our own existence was possibly a result of our ancestors getting high on shrooms and unlocking different methods of thinking, what could we be working towards now with this generation of psychonauts. While I can't posit what may come in the future, I can say that psychedelics personally helped me work through my demons. I was someone that felt extreme guilt for actions I had committed a long time ago and wouldn't let myself move on, I became a straight up masochist. It was during an lsd trip that I realized I was essentially serving out a prison sentence of my own design and was suffering more than an inmate would. At that point I deemed that I had served my sentence. My depression that had plagued me for most of my life was beaten back for a good while. It wasn't until being unemployed for a significant amount of time because of covid that it came back, but I still remember that epiphany and hold it dear to my heart. There is no cure for demons, you just have to learn how to fight them.

i have a hunch that he trained in, and took up long distance running either due a conscious or unconscious desire to runaway from his parents and perhaps it made him feel like he could and almost had escaped while he was runing.
