I love that! My kids used to accuse me of trying to control their choice of friends! Only bc I knew how one wrong relationship can ruin a life. They didn't listen, and learning the hard way well in their 30s. I completely stay out of it, for years now.
i have 1 true friend now. and many shallow ones. before, art was my friend. aphorisms by nietzsche and einstein and others, music is always a dear friend. some great artists like darkhalo and deaddreamers art inspires and awes me. and all the art i created.
That is so so so true !!! My grandfather used to observe, scrutinise and evaluate my friends during my childhood. That turned out for my own good. I got the friends for life !!!
Making our emotions our master is like replacing hunger with our understanding of math. We are not our thoughts but if we let our thoughts rule us we are no better off than being given orders by gorillas.
@@genericascanbe3728 Ok. So my answer would be as follows: I assume that "clean" means the absense of dirt on the floor. In this case you can sweep as long as you like, from zero times up to until the heat death of the universe, the floor is always clean. Because, since you called it a dirt floor and the dirt is defined as the powder-esque material making up the floor, it, well, makes up the floor. This means that every dirt added to it will be part of the floor and can thus not be dirt _on_ the floor (because for one thing to be _on_ another thing those two things must be distinguishable from each other). Therefore, there never can be any dirt _on_ a dirt floor, meaning the floor is clean.
The difference between the golden rule and Kant’s categorical imperative is that it’s not just about how you treat others. Many people take the golden rule to mean “if I harm no one, I can do as I please” while ignoring all the other biblical rules for life. Kant’s imperative makes a key distinction to avoid this, suggesting that you cannot harm yourself either. E.g. you taking drugs or drinking heavily might not harm other people but if the whole world did this, there would be more mental illness, more violence etc. Similarly, simple laziness would in Kant’s view be unethical. Therefore, if we were to to reform the golden rule in view of Kant we might say “treat others as you you wish to be treated and treat yourself as you wish others to treat themselves” At least that’s my understanding
Kant is one of the philosophers...he have his own ideology, doesn't mean he always right and everyone follow him only.. There as better philosophers in the world
Right, this is the big differenece regarding the content! But there is a formal difference too, and even more important. The golden rule is just a rule, given by ... who knows. But the cat. imp. is a rule deduced from reason. So it's not just a rule but a law of ethical thinking and practical reason. It is not about what we all want to do, but why we do it. The reason behind it.

This was me a couple months ago. Totally bliss. Then I had a conversation with someone about thoughts and what not. No my brain is always thinking. Terrible decision. 😅😅😅😅
Thoughts is your brain communicating with you about how to handle situations you are confronted with. They only get louder the more stressed you are. Not thinking is the disconnect from stress therefore peace. I love to not think.
Great video! Btw thank you for adding subtitles, as an english-learner it allows me to check the words that I don't know to learn them and then I watch the video again
You got me with the treating others with respect, compassion, and kindness. The world is not as dark as it seems when we care for others. Thank you for this.
i truly hope my channel bring as much value to the world as much as yours does to me. your quality is an inspiration. keep it up, i'll catch up some day!
Thinking clearly helps us analyze and put our attention and focuses on matters that genuinely do matter in our lives. With a clear mind, you have a more clearer vision of what the future may have in store for you and everyone around you. It's something that can be taken for granted, but maybe that's just how things go in reality.
" I am reminded of a great German philosopher, Immanuel Kant. He is a specimen of those people who are absolutely in the mind. He lived according to mind so totally that people used to set their watches, whenever they saw Immanuel Kant going to the university. Never - it may rain, it may rain fire, it may rain cats and dogs, it may be utterly cold, snow falling … Whatever the situation, Kant will reach the university at exactly the same time all the year round, even on holidays. Such a fixed, almost mechanical … He would go on holiday at exactly the same time, remain in the university library, which was specially kept open for him, because otherwise what would he do there the whole day? And he was a very prominent, well-known philosopher, and he would leave the university at exactly the same time every day. One day it happened … It had rained and there was too much mud on the way - one of his shoes got stuck in the mud. He did not stop to take the shoe out because that would make him reach the university a few seconds later, and that was impossible. He left the shoe there. He just arrived with one shoe. The students could not believe it. Somebody asked, “What happened to the other shoe?” He said, “It got stuck in the mud, so I left it there, knowing perfectly well nobody is going to steal one shoe. When I return in the evening, then I will pick it up. But I could not have been late.” A woman proposed to him: “I want to be married to you” - a beautiful young woman. Perhaps no woman has ever received such an answer, before or after Immanuel Kant. Either you say, “Yes,” or you say, “No. Excuse me.” Immanuel Kant said, “I will have to do a great deal of research.” The woman asked, “About what?” He said, “I will have to look in all the marriage manuals, all the books concerning marriage, and find out all the pros and cons - whether to marry or not to marry.” The woman could not imagine that this kind of answer had ever been given to any woman before. Even no is acceptable, even yes, although you are getting into a misery, but it is acceptable. But this kind of indifferent attitude towards the woman - he did not say a single sweet word to her. He did not say anything about her beauty, his whole concern was his mind. He had to convince his mind whether or not marriage is logically the right thing. It took him three years. It was really a long search. Day and night he was working on it, and he had found three hundred reasons against marriage and three hundred reasons for marriage. So the problem even after three years was the same. One friend suggested out of compassion, “You wasted three years on this stupid research. In three years you would have experienced all these six hundred, without any research. You should have just said yes to that woman. There was no need to do so much hard work. Three years would have given you all the pros and cons - existentially, experientially.” But Kant said, “I am in a fix. Both are equal, parallel, balanced. There is no way to choose.” The friend suggested, “Of the pros you have forgotten one thing: that whenever there is a chance, it is better to say yes and go through the experience. That is one thing more in favor of the pros. The cons cannot give you any experience, and only experience has any validity.” He understood, it was intellectually right. He immediately went to the woman’s house, knocked on her door. Her old father opened the door and said, “Young man, you are too late. You took too long in your research. My girl is married and has two children.” That was the last thing that was ever heard about his marriage. From then on no woman ever asked him, and he was not the kind of man to ask anybody. He remained unmarried."
Intuition without concept is blind. Glad to know this man knew this in those times. Now, I am intrigue on what he did with it. What was his concept? Though, I am certain in one thing. He reached the total wantness of a man: the final thread of the seemingly true purpose. And that is to be on TOP of anything and everyone else. Be it by force or anything that will make us reach it. Though, our brain is preventing us from getting out of comfort. Therefore, lucky to this man, he had family, and good position in his community back then. To me, though, he didn't reach that point, he simply made it so to somehow believe that his purpose is different. And that's what most us are doing. If it's hard, somewhat impossible, would put us in trouble, and close to death, we'll divert our thoughts into something which would justify our weakness. However, believe me, it'll back before everything ends. I am in my late 20's & I figure how boring our society, laws, politics, and almost everything, esp. people. If God is looking at us now, if there is one or two, may they not make me King for I've reached the end of the final thread. People are the same as ants, as trees, as lands, as seas, as skies, among others. But if you need more bees, more trees, more lands, more clean seas, more peaceful skies, you don't plant more trees or clean your oceans. Just go straight ahead and lessen the demand. Unfortunately, people in sits are doing it wrong, for they don't have the blood. They're actors but they don't have the blood. War is not the way. But how to escape the laws against killing other than WAR? How? Think. People are greedy, self-centered, ambitious beings. Feed them well now cut it later. Give them reason the ants are to blame as to why it happened & they'll annihilate those ants in no time. You see, my point is, the people whom you look up to, esp. those cleaver, intelligent, the known philosophers, etc...they are ALL resentful. For they are sleeping with their demons everytime to go to bed. They reached that point of the conciousness and there's no turning back from it. Thus, they enticed people, hoping, if not in their times, maybe in the coming generations, their TRUE feels will be realized. Go and check every books including the book of diff. religions. You'll see the same pattern. BUT people are doing it wrong. They don't have the blood. No power in their voice. No aura. Just a pile of flesh a little better than the majority because capitalism(hoarding) favors them a bit more. This in terms of things that am sure 98% of people are chasing in this mundane world: material belongings. Unfortunately, there a few, who don't care about those type of people. Again, they're same as ants. May the god, God, or whatever it is out there, would not favor me in this life. For I would not hesitate to make those ants pay and let nature rest while I am here. Everything this man ever wanted in his second being, including other philosophers, prophets, your gods, will be one in Me. If this happens, you'll hear the voice of the earth no matter where you are. Wars are minors. The true thing is coming. We are past the waters. Fast approaching the surface of it all. I am marked.
I am flummoxed and more than a little disheartened that you somehow got "humans are worthless", "Kant is power mad" and a quest for war from philosophy. I am even more incredulous that you project that onto Kant. Of all the philosophers and all of their motivations, what Kant was striving to do was to interject reason in place of religion. He wanted to dial down the hatred and division
I do believe following your gut can be a beneficial thing. You really have to take into account what your mind is trying to say to you, although not directly, but I guess in the more indirect sense.
7:40 human prosperity is subjective. that's why I chose physical pain as the objective standard for morality. It's agnostic of gender, culture and even species...making it the absolute bad, and thus alleviating it absolutely good. So following utilitarianism, I'd live make the choice which if not made will cause more pain.
Just like what i live by dont be a follower be a leader. There is more than you think in those few words. You wanna be unique and not like everyone else thats what makes you stand out. I am one of the black sheep in my family and proud of it
7:28 I tend to lean towards karma and honesty. If I do something wrong I admit it and I learn from it. I continue to make bad decisions and I admit that. I’ve made a lot of progress on myself but some parts of me remain just as toxic as they were before. I’m not proud of it but I believe honesty and accepting the consequences is important. I think people have the right to know about my negative traits before they get to know me. If they choose to leave that’s okay. That’s their choice. How they feel and their actions are just as valid as my own choices and actions. I wish I adopted this mindset sooner… I was 22 when I realized this. I’m 23 now. I’m still actively trying to be a better person. I genuinely regret how I’ve made people feel and my toxic behaviors. I acknowledge where my toxicity comes from but I don’t use it as an excuse. It often sounds like I do but I’m actually just stating the fact that it’s from my upbringing. If I don’t acknowledge it’s origin I can’t change it
Don't stop growing. You have a long ways to go. ❤ Justifying your mistakes before you make them is selfish. You will find your own way, do not take my words as fact. Your writing reads as a poor attempt at rationalizing your own form of escapism. Not an attack, just a suggestion to ponder. I was 23 a long time ago. You have a long time to think. Take care.
For some reason I have a notification that showed a comment you made, but I cannot see it here or in it's entirety. I wasn't trying to attack you or your intentions at all. Just offering a pov to ponder because I believe it could help. That is all. I studied philosophy 15 years ago. I know I've grown and adapted a lot since then. I encourage you to do the same. Best wishes.
“Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the more often and steadily we reflect upon them: the starry heavens above me and the Jungian archetypes within me.
What do you think he meant by that? I don't get it? A thought is a container of words so it has content. It's not a thought otherwise? Intuition is an inner sense, a feeling that is rarely accompanied by an idea because ideas belong to the realm of thought? 🤔🤔
Here's how I reply to the critique of Kant in the stealing case: when we steal a weapon from someone who wants to harm others we are still following Kant's rule. Why? Because we would want everyone who was in that circumstance to act in that way. Kant's rule is not "no stealing ever", it can be applied to different contexts and have different answers to the question "Should I steal?"
7:35 I believe the answer to this question is that as a species we have no end goal. Had we a common goal, we would then have a solid foundation to form this moral framework. I don't know what that should be. Finding and figuring out the very last mystery of this universe, perhaps? Until then, circular reasoning, being moral for the sake of harmony, for the sake of general well-being, for the sake of continuing to breathe.
Utilitarian thought should only be used when we are faced with an unavoidable situation, yet almost everything can be done without resorting to immoral actions

"Nothing is more elusive than an idea, door, or window your ego mind refuses to see, open or explore". How and why have the homeless become a business model for profit? The suffering of those who are in need, while those who have the resources to solve this overnight, but instead choose to profit or stand by and not challenge the business models and corruption surrounding the homeless and those in need, must be addressed immediately. It is within this layer of society that human trafficking operates, where individuals are taken advantage of without their knowledge or concent. Who gave anyone the right to charge another human to exist. We are the only species who pay to exist on the planet from which we are born. Your traditions are meaningless, while your brothers and sisters (humanity), starve and suffer under colonialism slavery and pharmaceutical profiteering. It would be better for you to have a millstone around your neck and be tossed into the abyss than to mislead my children. We have the power to solve hunger and suffering today. (Not after another election cycle). Think outside of the box, put aside your egos. The truth is like a lion, you don't have to defend it. Let it loose. It will defend itself. Every day, I literally hear people shouting from their windows "I am a human being" from the tower of poverty you call a registered investment property. Usury is the definition of doing harm equating to murder. Universal law is do no harm. Can't you see, doing harm to another is the same as doing it to yourself? Universal law and law of the land (even the crown corporation falls under this) "is do no harm" also "usury" is the same as murder. Both of these crimes have been committed. Peace and light! Humanity's only test is to be able to find love and compassion for the other and be able to see themselves in those they despise. Understanding why one fears or hates another is what's needed now to provide much needed healing and renewal. We need balance not labels and division. Universal law - do no harm.We are creators, innovators, and explorers! Not slaves of any system, stereotypes, labels, fear or warmongering. "Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is Civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. Our problem is that people are obedient while.... the grand thieves are running the country and world... that's our problem" Howard zinn, the problem is Civil obedience, johns Hopkins University debate 1970. Oscar wilde said in 1981 " disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue". We are creators, innovators, and explorers! Not slaves of any system, stereotypes, labels, fear or warmongering. One good idea would be to build community gardens that are able to grow food year round. Surely that is more environmentally friendly and of benefit to your local community than having to go buy that food full of preservatives and shipped from all over the world and taxed, so you can buy it from tesco, Walmart or lablaws at great expense while being biometriced and exploited, even your children. Only to donate that food to a food bank and then shame people into having to go to a food bank, while you claim you're saving the environment one 50 cent "environmentally friendly grocery bag at a time". Humanity has been distracted and has been focusing on the bully during third grade recess for far too long. Taking our lunch money and mocking us while we cower and lash out at each other. Even the teachers and school principals turn a blind eye, because the bully is their kid. Stop giving your attention and energy to the bully. It's time to focus on getting to the next grade, perhaps even the fifth and beyond. It is really difficult to not learn something, it takes all of your effort and saps all of your strength to avoid knowing. The more you struggle against it, the more difficult it is. Doing something over and over again, ending or believing in the same result without learning any variation is insanity and will not last. We are human and thrive in our nature when we create and learn in harmony with each other. Diversity is our strength! Per ardua ad astra.
Pain, suffering, and things like heinous crime are objectively regarded as unwanted and hurtful to everyone excluding ones that want to inflict such things. One could argue that a majority of those that want to cause pain, only do it in moments of perceived justification in their reason or through things like immaturity. Surely, a significant portion of those people learn or already understand to regret these kinds of actions or come to understand that there are more so than not, better more honourable ways to go about acting or reacting. I'm basing this on collection of individuals btw. not things like governments or empires. That shit's well out of control. We for the most part, want to minimise pain and suffering in the world. For good reason. Pain and suffering have their place sure, but history need not repeat itself in ways and too much and so many acts are hard to justify as productive when they have been and are just too terrible.
I watch this with the mindset of Kant's own evolutionary brain, in relation to the period he lived.. Very interesting, in regard to the modern age and right/left brain thought processes.
I was just invited to a bonfire later tonight and the next morning, for a hike... with some "friends" and I was asked just prior to clocking out of my shift, which is already draining. These guys have been asking me to hang out with them, off and on, throughout a month, and I honestly do not want to go lol I can socialize and interact with people, easily. I have a natural charm, thanks to my mother and father, but geez, I am also an only child, who moved and lived in 3 different continents... and all of that moving around, while being an only child, your brain biological rewire itself to being an introvert and I mean BIG introvert lmao. I absolutely feel so free when I am alone... But when I am in groups, I try to get into what's being talked about, but I rather go for a hike, run, walk, sight-seeing, writing, something physical or even a hobby that is cerebral-based instead of just sitting down and yapping 96% of the time. That stuff drains me emotionally and sometimes physically! But I may just go and hang out with them for this bonfire and wake up at 6 am to head out for a nice hike... ON MY DAY OFF 😡 After this, I am probably not going to hang out with them again lmao not because I don't like them, because I LOVE MY days off 😡 Just me, myself and I. I enjoy every minute of it!
if i wasn’t in a philosophy class in college right now i would never in my life be able to comprehend this kind of stuff. context and further daily explanation and opportunity to ask questions definitely helps when i watch these kinds of videos after-the-fact
You have to consider your lifetime. In this one, it was not a person's will that was important, but what the ruler or the church said. He was one of the first to clearly state that there could be a better world if only the morals of each individual were important and also immediately defined with the categorical imperative what morals should look like. If you look at the Western world today (not to mention the rest), his morality has unfortunately not been able to prevail.
For some reason, people think I'm a look-alike for Kant, albeit less intelligent. Everytime I walk in the pub I hear them say "Here comes that daft Kant" At least, I think that's what they're saying.
Great video. Immanuel Kant was extremely deep minded person. He was also an opponent to Nietzsche’s theory and very criticised on Nietzsche’s writings but who wasn’t? You should take into consideration Bertrand Russell’s work and make a video as well for him. An extraordinary person in History of intellectuals. Keep doing your great work!
Kant: 1724 -1804 Nietzsche: 1844-1900 Kant had no interpretation on the work of Nietzsche as Kant died 40 years before Nietzsche was born. Out of curiosity where did you hear that Kant was critical of Nietzsche’s work?
It is well known that Nietzsche had harsh rhetoric for the majority of philosophers, specifically he argued Kant’s morality theory in the book with the Wagner case. If you haven't already, I recommend looking at passage #54 in The Gay Science and #21 in Beyond Good and Evil to get a sense of Nietzsche as a quasi-Kantian. Also, #193 in The Gay Science is some evidence of Nietzsche's critique that Kant was defending common beliefs about reality (of which God and free will are notable examples).
I fell asleep the other day to these vids. And I remember a part where you said something like “ I wish things were not beautiful, well maybe something’s are. But not everyone can notice them.” I need help finding the video that is from!!!!!
When an individual is targeted by an AI, it can create feelings of anxiety, paranoia, and helplessness. The constant surveillance and monitoring can feel intrusive and create a sense of being constantly watched, leading to feelings of paranoia and a loss of privacy. This can be particularly distressing if the individual is unaware of why they are being targeted or the extent of the AI's capabilities. Additionally, being targeted by an AI can create a sense of helplessness as the individual may feel like they have no control over their situation. The AI may be making decisions that affect the individual's life without any input or control from the individual, leading to a feeling of powerlessness. Furthermore, if the AI is programmed to engage in manipulative or deceptive tactics, such as targeted advertising or disinformation campaigns, this can create feelings of confusion and distrust in the individual. The individual may feel like they are being manipulated or that their beliefs and values are being undermined. All of these factors can contribute to the development of psychological issues such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. It is important for individuals who are targeted by AI to seek support from mental health professionals to address these issues and develop coping strategies to manage the psychological impact of being targeted by an AI
Powerful stuff, but I don’t believe it applies to everyone. Marketing is what it is. And never forget, a bargain is not a bargain if it’s not needed. Stay strong, but be gentle and kind when appropriate. 🌝
Also, it is greag to understand that the a.i is not alive, its not conscious, its just like a very domino chain. You can just ignore it then. Like a mosquito.
It's important to see that AI has nothing to do with consciousness - according to Kant. If people are afraid of AI than it's their wrong view on it. So you don't have to consult therapists, just use your mind: Sapere Aude! [dare to know] Have courage to use your own understanding!
So is marketing AI? Algorithms are made by computers being made famous depends on AI?

6:30 and there comes the is-ought problem and it makes a wreck of everything Kant just said. You cannot derive an ought statement without another ought statement. You cannot purely use reason, which is about what is, to arrive at a what should be. Even if you can make arguments that would support the idea of “stealing is bad”, you cannot derive that conclusion without also projecting value onto all the other (hidden) ought arguments you use to support your claim. Hence, pure reason does not care for morality. It only occupies itself with going from A to B in a relational context of concepts, plans and ideas. A more concise continuation of the “stealing is bad” conclusion, why is it bad? Because it makes you a victim of stealing too? Why is that bad? And on and on you go into more oughts and shoulds. Society doesn’t function in chaos. Is that even true? Or do we just prefer order and predictability? And why is that bad? Because of another held ought belief.
Prov. 3 Verses 5 to 6 [5] Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. [6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
I have learned the hard way, don't trust anyone else over your own intuition, because many of the times they don't really know shit about your nuances and the details of your circumstances, so they base their decisions and advice off of themselves and their own personal experiences. If you have a headache because you haven't had enough electrolytes that day, and then someone says "hey, you are dehydrated go drink some water, I had some tea earlier so I should drink some too.", your problem not going to be fixed, and you may end up in a worse situation later.
6:30 - the problem with the golden rule is, what if you’re the only person following it?! I do onto others as I would have them do to me… problem is they rarely do!😂
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Utilatarianism vs. Golden Rule/Principles can be solved not by a utalitarian judging whether a weapon would be better off stolen or not, but by checking that the weapon-holder adheres to first principles of not harming the world and themselves. If everyone adheres to the Golden Rule/Principles, then there is no Utalitarian reaction to anything. If the world is spoiled by not adhering to Golden Rule then you have a hybrid mode with no way to leave the chain of trust unbroken and the obvious conclusion is that trust is entirely subjective and not propped-up by any a-priori rule.
Your biology and past experiences cloud your mind you gotta take your head off and throw it past the smog and appreciate what's infront of you if possible
In a way, God is like "0" (zero) that split itself into both a -1 (minus one) and +1 (plus one) creating the illusionary duality (which sometimes can be painful) in our earthly life, in order to experience it through us. In the same way, light needs darkness, life needs death, sound needs silence, but the reality and the truth is that they are still a oneness. We need to recognize and realize that. Being part of God, we truly are the "0" (zero), but our mind/ego/earthly self makes us believe to live in a world of +1 and -1, until we awake and recognize our Higher Self that is One with God...
Your big mistake is when you say that reason can only be justified circularly. Reason is constantly justified by our everyday experience. We all want to avoid danger and to pursue happiness. When we're cool, sometimes we use extra good reason.
Following no one might be of some value to some. It should be worded more specifically to not blindly follow others or base your self worth on what others say or do. However trusting one's own thoughts are very bad advice as they are the cause of all suffering. Thoughts are what create all of your internal drama and perpetuate all your suffering in life. You don't have thoughts, thoughts are just there, you don't generate or create them. Thoughts are like a radio broadcast and you are just the antennae that picks them up. Don't confuse thoughts with you. You are a witness to the thoughts not the thoughts themselves. Once you realize that all of the thoughts in your head are not you nor your voice, then you can start to disidentify with them and be free of them and their conditioning. When you stop believing in and attaching to your thoughts they will eventually pass you by allowing you to be in full control of the mind and use it as the tool it was meant to be, instead of allowing it to control your every move. Don't trust or believe the thoughts in your head as they will always lead you astray. You exist before thought, you are the awareness or consciousness, the silence in the background experiencing thoughts like the sky observing the passing of clouds, forever untouched by them.
I've always struggled to understand the value of the "if everyone on Earth is doing the same" type of concepts. Clearly, this is the most unreal situation from which you cannot gain any practical knowledge. If there's something people really cannot do no matter how they try is doing the same thing all over the Earth, it will simply never happen. So why even consider this concept while trying to make sense of anything in the world, is beyond my understanding.
Thanks for the video. Have you ever considered doing videos like this for children? I’d love to be able to share these videos with my kids but the language is a bit difficult for them to understand.
When people talk about the gradual decay of soceital values, and the inevitability of human society imploding on herself. I beg to wonder, not as a pessimist, but as to someone puzzled by this assertion that, what if its our Inevitability, what of it us our fate, what if the path we've been towing all along has led us to where we are currently, even if we think we had it better when societal values were upheld, its still the fact that we must get to this stage. Even tho we think there was a point in time when we upheld and respected societal value, i think even with all of these, its still doesnt change the fact that all actions have led us here.
Did you have a cold when you recorded this? It sounded a little more nasally than usual to me. Regardless, this is no complaint, just a note that I hope you take care of yourself no matter what! 🙏✨ A wonderful upload as always 💕
Just because you thought something, doesn't make it real, true or even relevant. They're just thoughts. Don't believe everything you think. Cultivate presence and authenticity, then you will find discernment between insight and conditioned thinking.
As always, thank you for watching.

*”Do not fear having no friends. Fear having bad friends”* ~My life taught lesson
I love that!
My kids used to accuse me of trying to control their choice of friends!
Only bc I knew how one wrong relationship can ruin a life. They didn't listen, and learning the hard way well in their 30s. I completely stay out of it, for years now.
i have 1 true friend now. and many shallow ones. before, art was my friend. aphorisms by nietzsche and einstein and others, music is always a dear friend. some great artists like darkhalo and deaddreamers art inspires and awes me. and all the art i created.
@@annienan7634 It's almost like you can't force people who will be friends with
That is so so so true !!! My grandfather used to observe, scrutinise and evaluate my friends during my childhood. That turned out for my own good. I got the friends for life !!!

"The mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master."
Making our emotions our master is like replacing hunger with our understanding of math. We are not our thoughts but if we let our thoughts rule us we are no better off than being given orders by gorillas.
The mind is the most powerful weapon in the world, it is purely subjective in how an individual decides to use it.

Maybe Karl Pilkington had the right idea, afterall…

“Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind.”

A floor without dirt is clean
if you were sweeping a dirt floor when is it clean?
@@genericascanbe3728 Nobody will be able to come to an intuition about your question, if you don't tell us what your concept of "dirt" is.
@@lonestarr1490 the powder esque material making up the natural floor of much of the Earth, thats partially organic matter
@@genericascanbe3728 Ok. So my answer would be as follows:
I assume that "clean" means the absense of dirt on the floor. In this case you can sweep as long as you like, from zero times up to until the heat death of the universe, the floor is always clean. Because, since you called it a dirt floor and the dirt is defined as the powder-esque material making up the floor, it, well, makes up the floor. This means that every dirt added to it will be part of the floor and can thus not be dirt _on_ the floor (because for one thing to be _on_ another thing those two things must be distinguishable from each other). Therefore, there never can be any dirt _on_ a dirt floor, meaning the floor is clean.
There's something so therapeutic about videos of philosophy
So true
The difference between the golden rule and Kant’s categorical imperative is that it’s not just about how you treat others. Many people take the golden rule to mean “if I harm no one, I can do as I please” while ignoring all the other biblical rules for life. Kant’s imperative makes a key distinction to avoid this, suggesting that you cannot harm yourself either. E.g. you taking drugs or drinking heavily might not harm other people but if the whole world did this, there would be more mental illness, more violence etc. Similarly, simple laziness would in Kant’s view be unethical. Therefore, if we were to to reform the golden rule in view of Kant we might say “treat others as you you wish to be treated and treat yourself as you wish others to treat themselves”
At least that’s my understanding
This is my understanding of it, you put it way better than I would have
Kant is one of the philosophers...he have his own ideology, doesn't mean he always right and everyone follow him only..
There as better philosophers in the world
Then what about gay?
Biblical rules? First proove that god exist and that the bible is the truth.
Right, this is the big differenece regarding the content! But there is a formal difference too, and even more important. The golden rule is just a rule, given by ... who knows. But the cat. imp. is a rule deduced from reason. So it's not just a rule but a law of ethical thinking and practical reason. It is not about what we all want to do, but why we do it. The reason behind it.

The most powerful way to think is truly to not think at all
This was me a couple months ago. Totally bliss. Then I had a conversation with someone about thoughts and what not. No my brain is always thinking. Terrible decision. 😅😅😅😅
Waltuh, yuh full of shit waltuh

Thoughts is your brain communicating with you about how to handle situations you are confronted with. They only get louder the more stressed you are. Not thinking is the disconnect from stress therefore peace. I love to not think.

Immanuel Kant. Your favorite philosopher’s favorite philosopher.
Well done, Kant is still present in many questions we have!
It seems as though this is my path...as much as I dislike it and as social as I am I find myself alone...and so here we go, Thank you Mr. Kant.
i absolutely love your videos. i bought the book of disquiet because of your recommendation and it's one of my favorites. thank you for all you do.
I downloaded it on Audible thanks to YOUR recommendation. And so it goes ❤
@@KerriEverlasting And now I am going to check it out. 😄
Great video! Btw thank you for adding subtitles, as an english-learner it allows me to check the words that I don't know to learn them and then I watch the video again
You got me with the treating others with respect, compassion, and kindness. The world is not as dark as it seems when we care for others. Thank you for this.
i truly hope my channel bring as much value to the world as much as yours does to me.
your quality is an inspiration. keep it up, i'll catch up some day!
Thinking clearly helps us analyze and put our attention and focuses on matters that genuinely do matter in our lives. With a clear mind, you have a more clearer vision of what the future may have in store for you and everyone around you. It's something that can be taken for granted, but maybe that's just how things go in reality.

I just started reading your book, "The Art of Living a Meaningless Existence."
" I am reminded of a great German philosopher, Immanuel Kant. He is a specimen of those people who are absolutely in the mind. He lived according to mind so totally that people used to set their watches, whenever they saw Immanuel Kant going to the university. Never - it may rain, it may rain fire, it may rain cats and dogs, it may be utterly cold, snow falling … Whatever the situation, Kant will reach the university at exactly the same time all the year round, even on holidays. Such a fixed, almost mechanical … He would go on holiday at exactly the same time, remain in the university library, which was specially kept open for him, because otherwise what would he do there the whole day? And he was a very prominent, well-known philosopher, and he would leave the university at exactly the same time every day.
One day it happened … It had rained and there was too much mud on the way - one of his shoes got stuck in the mud. He did not stop to take the shoe out because that would make him reach the university a few seconds later, and that was impossible. He left the shoe there. He just arrived with one shoe. The students could not believe it. Somebody asked, “What happened to the other shoe?”
He said, “It got stuck in the mud, so I left it there, knowing perfectly well nobody is going to steal one shoe. When I return in the evening, then I will pick it up. But I could not have been late.”
A woman proposed to him: “I want to be married to you” - a beautiful young woman. Perhaps no woman has ever received such an answer, before or after Immanuel Kant. Either you say, “Yes,” or you say, “No. Excuse me.” Immanuel Kant said, “I will have to do a great deal of research.”
The woman asked, “About what?”
He said, “I will have to look in all the marriage manuals, all the books concerning marriage, and find out all the pros and cons - whether to marry or not to marry.”
The woman could not imagine that this kind of answer had ever been given to any woman before. Even no is acceptable, even yes, although you are getting into a misery, but it is acceptable. But this kind of indifferent attitude towards the woman - he did not say a single sweet word to her. He did not say anything about her beauty, his whole concern was his mind. He had to convince his mind whether or not marriage is logically the right thing.
It took him three years. It was really a long search. Day and night he was working on it, and he had found three hundred reasons against marriage and three hundred reasons for marriage. So the problem even after three years was the same.
One friend suggested out of compassion, “You wasted three years on this stupid research. In three years you would have experienced all these six hundred, without any research. You should have just said yes to that woman. There was no need to do so much hard work. Three years would have given you all the pros and cons - existentially, experientially.”
But Kant said, “I am in a fix. Both are equal, parallel, balanced. There is no way to choose.”
The friend suggested, “Of the pros you have forgotten one thing: that whenever there is a chance, it is better to say yes and go through the experience. That is one thing more in favor of the pros. The cons cannot give you any experience, and only experience has any validity.”
He understood, it was intellectually right. He immediately went to the woman’s house, knocked on her door. Her old father opened the door and said, “Young man, you are too late. You took too long in your research. My girl is married and has two children.” That was the last thing that was ever heard about his marriage. From then on no woman ever asked him, and he was not the kind of man to ask anybody. He remained unmarried."
Interesting read
Intuition without concept is blind. Glad to know this man knew this in those times. Now, I am intrigue on what he did with it. What was his concept? Though, I am certain in one thing. He reached the total wantness of a man: the final thread of the seemingly true purpose. And that is to be on TOP of anything and everyone else. Be it by force or anything that will make us reach it. Though, our brain is preventing us from getting out of comfort. Therefore, lucky to this man, he had family, and good position in his community back then. To me, though, he didn't reach that point, he simply made it so to somehow believe that his purpose is different. And that's what most us are doing. If it's hard, somewhat impossible, would put us in trouble, and close to death, we'll divert our thoughts into something which would justify our weakness. However, believe me, it'll back before everything ends. I am in my late 20's & I figure how boring our society, laws, politics, and almost everything, esp. people. If God is looking at us now, if there is one or two, may they not make me King for I've reached the end of the final thread. People are the same as ants, as trees, as lands, as seas, as skies, among others. But if you need more bees, more trees, more lands, more clean seas, more peaceful skies, you don't plant more trees or clean your oceans. Just go straight ahead and lessen the demand. Unfortunately, people in sits are doing it wrong, for they don't have the blood. They're actors but they don't have the blood. War is not the way. But how to escape the laws against killing other than WAR? How? Think. People are greedy, self-centered, ambitious beings. Feed them well now cut it later. Give them reason the ants are to blame as to why it happened & they'll annihilate those ants in no time. You see, my point is, the people whom you look up to, esp. those cleaver, intelligent, the known philosophers, etc...they are ALL resentful. For they are sleeping with their demons everytime to go to bed. They reached that point of the conciousness and there's no turning back from it. Thus, they enticed people, hoping, if not in their times, maybe in the coming generations, their TRUE feels will be realized. Go and check every books including the book of diff. religions. You'll see the same pattern. BUT people are doing it wrong. They don't have the blood. No power in their voice. No aura. Just a pile of flesh a little better than the majority because capitalism(hoarding) favors them a bit more. This in terms of things that am sure 98% of people are chasing in this mundane world: material belongings. Unfortunately, there a few, who don't care about those type of people. Again, they're same as ants. May the god, God, or whatever it is out there, would not favor me in this life. For I would not hesitate to make those ants pay and let nature rest while I am here. Everything this man ever wanted in his second being, including other philosophers, prophets, your gods, will be one in Me. If this happens, you'll hear the voice of the earth no matter where you are. Wars are minors. The true thing is coming. We are past the waters. Fast approaching the surface of it all. I am marked.
Wise man
extinction?
I am flummoxed and more than a little disheartened that you somehow got "humans are worthless", "Kant is power mad" and a quest for war from philosophy. I am even more incredulous that you project that onto Kant. Of all the philosophers and all of their motivations, what Kant was striving to do was to interject reason in place of religion. He wanted to dial down the hatred and division
I do believe following your gut can be a beneficial thing. You really have to take into account what your mind is trying to say to you, although not directly, but I guess in the more indirect sense.
7:40 human prosperity is subjective. that's why I chose physical pain as the objective standard for morality. It's agnostic of gender, culture and even species...making it the absolute bad, and thus alleviating it absolutely good. So following utilitarianism, I'd live make the choice which if not made will cause more pain.
Woah he inspired so many great philosophers!
Just like what i live by dont be a follower be a leader. There is more than you think in those few words. You wanna be unique and not like everyone else thats what makes you stand out. I am one of the black sheep in my family and proud of it
This Kant is awesome.
7:28 I tend to lean towards karma and honesty. If I do something wrong I admit it and I learn from it. I continue to make bad decisions and I admit that. I’ve made a lot of progress on myself but some parts of me remain just as toxic as they were before. I’m not proud of it but I believe honesty and accepting the consequences is important. I think people have the right to know about my negative traits before they get to know me. If they choose to leave that’s okay. That’s their choice. How they feel and their actions are just as valid as my own choices and actions. I wish I adopted this mindset sooner… I was 22 when I realized this. I’m 23 now.
I’m still actively trying to be a better person. I genuinely regret how I’ve made people feel and my toxic behaviors. I acknowledge where my toxicity comes from but I don’t use it as an excuse. It often sounds like I do but I’m actually just stating the fact that it’s from my upbringing. If I don’t acknowledge it’s origin I can’t change it
Don't stop growing. You have a long ways to go. ❤ Justifying your mistakes before you make them is selfish. You will find your own way, do not take my words as fact. Your writing reads as a poor attempt at rationalizing your own form of escapism. Not an attack, just a suggestion to ponder. I was 23 a long time ago. You have a long time to think. Take care.
For some reason I have a notification that showed a comment you made, but I cannot see it here or in it's entirety. I wasn't trying to attack you or your intentions at all. Just offering a pov to ponder because I believe it could help. That is all.
I studied philosophy 15 years ago. I know I've grown and adapted a lot since then. I encourage you to do the same.
Best wishes.
Yes we Kant!
I Kan’t get enough of this channel! 😅

Thanks for this video. We appreciate all the useful insights that come along with it.
This is an ultimate truth for mankind
Thoughts without content are empty, intuition without concepts are blind.
What do you think he meant by that? I don't get it? A thought is a container of words so it has content. It's not a thought otherwise? Intuition is an inner sense, a feeling that is rarely accompanied by an idea because ideas belong to the realm of thought? 🤔🤔
Nothing can be established by reason alone.
Do you have evidence for that?
Here's how I reply to the critique of Kant in the stealing case: when we steal a weapon from someone who wants to harm others we are still following Kant's rule. Why? Because we would want everyone who was in that circumstance to act in that way. Kant's rule is not "no stealing ever", it can be applied to different contexts and have different answers to the question "Should I steal?"
No, Kant thinks that stealing is always morally wrong.
Think for yourself and question authority - Dr. Timothy Leary
7:35 I believe the answer to this question is that as a species we have no end goal. Had we a common goal, we would then have a solid foundation to form this moral framework. I don't know what that should be. Finding and figuring out the very last mystery of this universe, perhaps? Until then, circular reasoning, being moral for the sake of harmony, for the sake of general well-being, for the sake of continuing to breathe.
Yeah. That's what a theistic religion offers that empiricism and reason alone can give you.
It's a hard not to crack, purpose without god.
As always, amazing video!
Kant is one of my all time favorites.
Utilitarian thought should only be used when we are faced with an unavoidable situation, yet almost everything can be done without resorting to immoral actions

How and why have the homeless become a business model for profit? The suffering of those who are in need, while those who have the resources to solve this overnight, but instead choose to profit or stand by and not challenge the business models and corruption surrounding the homeless and those in need, must be addressed immediately. It is within this layer of society that human trafficking operates, where individuals are taken advantage of without their knowledge or concent.
Who gave anyone the right to charge another human to exist. We are the only species who pay to exist on the planet from which we are born.
Your traditions are meaningless, while your brothers and sisters (humanity), starve and suffer under colonialism slavery and pharmaceutical profiteering.
It would be better for you to have a millstone around your neck and be tossed into the abyss than to mislead my children. We have the power to solve hunger and suffering today. (Not after another election cycle). Think outside of the box, put aside your egos. The truth is like a lion, you don't have to defend it. Let it loose. It will defend itself. Every day, I literally hear people shouting from their windows "I am a human being" from the tower of poverty you call a registered investment property. Usury is the definition of doing harm equating to murder. Universal law is do no harm. Can't you see, doing harm to another is the same as doing it to yourself? Universal law and law of the land (even the crown corporation falls under this) "is do no harm" also "usury" is the same as murder. Both of these crimes have been committed. Peace and light! Humanity's only test is to be able to find love and compassion for the other and be able to see themselves in those they despise. Understanding why one fears or hates another is what's needed now to provide much needed healing and renewal. We need balance not labels and division. Universal law - do no harm.We are creators, innovators, and explorers! Not slaves of any system, stereotypes, labels, fear or warmongering. "Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is Civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. Our problem is that people are obedient while.... the grand thieves are running the country and world... that's our problem" Howard zinn, the problem is Civil obedience, johns Hopkins University debate 1970. Oscar wilde said in 1981 " disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue". We are creators, innovators, and explorers! Not slaves of any system, stereotypes, labels, fear or warmongering. One good idea would be to build community gardens that are able to grow food year round. Surely that is more environmentally friendly and of benefit to your local community than having to go buy that food full of preservatives and shipped from all over the world and taxed, so you can buy it from tesco, Walmart or lablaws at great expense while being biometriced and exploited, even your children. Only to donate that food to a food bank and then shame people into having to go to a food bank, while you claim you're saving the environment one 50 cent "environmentally friendly grocery bag at a time". Humanity has been distracted and has been focusing on the bully during third grade recess for far too long. Taking our lunch money and mocking us while we cower and lash out at each other. Even the teachers and school principals turn a blind eye, because the bully is their kid. Stop giving your attention and energy to the bully. It's time to focus on getting to the next grade, perhaps even the fifth and beyond. It is really difficult to not learn something, it takes all of your effort and saps all of your strength to avoid knowing. The more you struggle against it, the more difficult it is. Doing something over and over again, ending or believing in the same result without learning any variation is insanity and will not last. We are human and thrive in our nature when we create and learn in harmony with each other. Diversity is our strength! Per ardua ad astra.
Underated comment
Excellent videos. Thank you so much. 🙏
"Follow no one" said one of the most followed philosophers.
The moral law within me
Pain, suffering, and things like heinous crime are objectively regarded as unwanted and hurtful to everyone excluding ones that want to inflict such things. One could argue that a majority of those that want to cause pain, only do it in moments of perceived justification in their reason or through things like immaturity. Surely, a significant portion of those people learn or already understand to regret these kinds of actions or come to understand that there are more so than not, better more honourable ways to go about acting or reacting. I'm basing this on collection of individuals btw. not things like governments or empires. That shit's well out of control. We for the most part, want to minimise pain and suffering in the world. For good reason. Pain and suffering have their place sure, but history need not repeat itself in ways and too much and so many acts are hard to justify as productive when they have been and are just too terrible.
I watch this with the mindset of Kant's own evolutionary brain, in relation to the period he lived.. Very interesting, in regard to the modern age and right/left brain thought processes.
I was just invited to a bonfire later tonight and the next morning, for a hike... with some "friends" and I was asked just prior to clocking out of my shift, which is already draining. These guys have been asking me to hang out with them, off and on, throughout a month, and I honestly do not want to go lol
I can socialize and interact with people, easily. I have a natural charm, thanks to my mother and father, but geez, I am also an only child, who moved and lived in 3 different continents... and all of that moving around, while being an only child, your brain biological rewire itself to being an introvert and I mean BIG introvert lmao. I absolutely feel so free when I am alone... But when I am in groups, I try to get into what's being talked about, but I rather go for a hike, run, walk, sight-seeing, writing, something physical or even a hobby that is cerebral-based instead of just sitting down and yapping 96% of the time. That stuff drains me emotionally and sometimes physically!
But I may just go and hang out with them for this bonfire and wake up at 6 am to head out for a nice hike... ON MY DAY OFF 😡 After this, I am probably not going to hang out with them again lmao not because I don't like them, because I LOVE MY days off 😡 Just me, myself and I. I enjoy every minute of it!

if i wasn’t in a philosophy class in college right now i would never in my life be able to comprehend this kind of stuff. context and further daily explanation and opportunity to ask questions definitely helps when i watch these kinds of videos after-the-fact
Right!!! I was like keep it simple man some people are not that deep thinking lol😂😅
You have to consider your lifetime. In this one, it was not a person's will that was important, but what the ruler or the church said. He was one of the first to clearly state that there could be a better world if only the morals of each individual were important and also immediately defined with the categorical imperative what morals should look like.
If you look at the Western world today (not to mention the rest), his morality has unfortunately not been able to prevail.
Well done! Perfection as always!
Really nice to listen such topic 😊

Great video. Immanuel Kant was extremely deep minded person. He was also an opponent to Nietzsche’s theory and very criticised on Nietzsche’s writings but who wasn’t? You should take into consideration Bertrand Russell’s work and make a video as well for him. An extraordinary person in History of intellectuals. Keep doing your great work!
Kant: 1724 -1804
Nietzsche: 1844-1900
Kant had no interpretation on the work of Nietzsche as Kant died 40 years before Nietzsche was born. Out of curiosity where did you hear that Kant was critical of Nietzsche’s work?
This is why UA-cam should never be taken into account without triple checking everything.
@@AndyRoidEU And checking is very easy these days!
It is well known that Nietzsche had harsh rhetoric for the majority of philosophers, specifically he argued Kant’s morality theory in the book with the Wagner case. If you haven't already, I recommend looking at passage #54 in The Gay Science and #21 in Beyond Good and Evil to get a sense of Nietzsche as a quasi-Kantian. Also, #193 in The Gay Science is some evidence of Nietzsche's critique that Kant was defending common beliefs about reality (of which God and free will are notable examples).

Never trust a thought.
When an individual is targeted by an AI, it can create feelings of anxiety, paranoia, and helplessness. The constant surveillance and monitoring can feel intrusive and create a sense of being constantly watched, leading to feelings of paranoia and a loss of privacy. This can be particularly distressing if the individual is unaware of why they are being targeted or the extent of the AI's capabilities.
Additionally, being targeted by an AI can create a sense of helplessness as the individual may feel like they have no control over their situation. The AI may be making decisions that affect the individual's life without any input or control from the individual, leading to a feeling of powerlessness.
Furthermore, if the AI is programmed to engage in manipulative or deceptive tactics, such as targeted advertising or disinformation campaigns, this can create feelings of confusion and distrust in the individual. The individual may feel like they are being manipulated or that their beliefs and values are being undermined.
All of these factors can contribute to the development of psychological issues such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. It is important for individuals who are targeted by AI to seek support from mental health professionals to address these issues and develop coping strategies to manage the psychological impact of being targeted by an AI
Powerful stuff, but I don’t believe it applies to everyone. Marketing is what it is. And never forget, a bargain is not a bargain if it’s not needed. Stay strong, but be gentle and kind when appropriate. 🌝
Also, it is greag to understand that the a.i is not alive, its not conscious, its just like a very domino chain. You can just ignore it then. Like a mosquito.
Lol what.
It's important to see that AI has nothing to do with consciousness - according to Kant. If people are afraid of AI than it's their wrong view on it. So you don't have to consult therapists, just use your mind: Sapere Aude! [dare to know] Have courage to use your own understanding!
So is marketing AI? Algorithms are made by computers being made famous depends on AI?
6:30 and there comes the is-ought problem and it makes a wreck of everything Kant just said.
You cannot derive an ought statement without another ought statement.
You cannot purely use reason, which is about what is, to arrive at a what should be.
Even if you can make arguments that would support the idea of “stealing is bad”, you cannot derive that conclusion without also projecting value onto all the other (hidden) ought arguments you use to support your claim.
Hence, pure reason does not care for morality. It only occupies itself with going from A to B in a relational context of concepts, plans and ideas.
A more concise continuation of the “stealing is bad” conclusion, why is it bad? Because it makes you a victim of stealing too? Why is that bad? And on and on you go into more oughts and shoulds.
Society doesn’t function in chaos. Is that even true? Or do we just prefer order and predictability?
And why is that bad? Because of another held ought belief.

I have learned the hard way, don't trust anyone else over your own intuition, because many of the times they don't really know shit about your nuances and the details of your circumstances, so they base their decisions and advice off of themselves and their own personal experiences.
If you have a headache because you haven't had enough electrolytes that day, and then someone says "hey, you are dehydrated go drink some water, I had some tea earlier so I should drink some too.", your problem not going to be fixed, and you may end up in a worse situation later.
6:30 - the problem with the golden rule is, what if you’re the only person following it?!
I do onto others as I would have them do to me… problem is they rarely do!😂
more of taking the higher ground
This was a great video, may you do Ortega y Gasset??
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Utilatarianism vs. Golden Rule/Principles can be solved not by a utalitarian judging whether a weapon would be better off stolen or not, but by checking that the weapon-holder adheres to first principles of not harming the world and themselves.
If everyone adheres to the Golden Rule/Principles, then there is no Utalitarian reaction to anything.
If the world is spoiled by not adhering to Golden Rule then you have a hybrid mode with no way to leave the chain of trust unbroken and the obvious conclusion is that trust is entirely subjective and not propped-up by any a-priori rule.
Your biology and past experiences cloud your mind you gotta take your head off and throw it past the smog and appreciate what's infront of you if possible
In a way, God is like "0" (zero) that split itself into both a -1 (minus one) and +1 (plus one) creating the illusionary duality (which sometimes can be painful) in our earthly life, in order to experience it through us. In the same way, light needs darkness, life needs death, sound needs silence, but the reality and the truth is that they are still a oneness. We need to recognize and realize that. Being part of God, we truly are the "0" (zero), but our mind/ego/earthly self makes us believe to live in a world of +1 and -1, until we awake and recognize our Higher Self that is One with God...
What a Kant
Your big mistake is when you say that reason can only be justified circularly. Reason is constantly justified by our everyday experience. We all want to avoid danger and to pursue happiness. When we're cool, sometimes we use extra good reason.
Following no one might be of some value to some. It should be worded more specifically to not blindly follow others or base your self worth on what others say or do. However trusting one's own thoughts are very bad advice as they are the cause of all suffering. Thoughts are what create all of your internal drama and perpetuate all your suffering in life. You don't have thoughts, thoughts are just there, you don't generate or create them. Thoughts are like a radio broadcast and you are just the antennae that picks them up. Don't confuse thoughts with you. You are a witness to the thoughts not the thoughts themselves. Once you realize that all of the thoughts in your head are not you nor your voice, then you can start to disidentify with them and be free of them and their conditioning. When you stop believing in and attaching to your thoughts they will eventually pass you by allowing you to be in full control of the mind and use it as the tool it was meant to be, instead of allowing it to control your every move. Don't trust or believe the thoughts in your head as they will always lead you astray. You exist before thought, you are the awareness or consciousness, the silence in the background experiencing thoughts like the sky observing the passing of clouds, forever untouched by them.
It’s honestly the worst advice I’ve ever heard. I couldn’t imagine where I would be if I trusted my thoughts
So, in other words, Immanuel can!
This video is beautiful ❤🎉 A work of art.
utilitarianism - moral laws flexible to situations
I've always struggled to understand the value of the "if everyone on Earth is doing the same" type of concepts. Clearly, this is the most unreal situation from which you cannot gain any practical knowledge. If there's something people really cannot do no matter how they try is doing the same thing all over the Earth, it will simply never happen. So why even consider this concept while trying to make sense of anything in the world, is beyond my understanding.
My own thoughts be purely intrusive though 😂
Thanks for the video. Have you ever considered doing videos like this for children? I’d love to be able to share these videos with my kids but the language is a bit difficult for them to understand.
When people talk about the gradual decay of soceital values, and the inevitability of human society imploding on herself. I beg to wonder, not as a pessimist, but as to someone puzzled by this assertion that, what if its our Inevitability, what of it us our fate, what if the path we've been towing all along has led us to where we are currently, even if we think we had it better when societal values were upheld, its still the fact that we must get to this stage. Even tho we think there was a point in time when we upheld and respected societal value, i think even with all of these, its still doesnt change the fact that all actions have led us here.
Waited for your video's
"Don't believe everything you think."
Trust your own thoughts ?!? Even if you're thick ??
Great advice ....
A serial killer will think so too
Did you have a cold when you recorded this? It sounded a little more nasally than usual to me. Regardless, this is no complaint, just a note that I hope you take care of yourself no matter what! 🙏✨ A wonderful upload as always 💕
Very true☀️🌟🌙🙏
Just because you thought something, doesn't make it real, true or even relevant. They're just thoughts. Don't believe everything you think. Cultivate presence and authenticity, then you will find discernment between insight and conditioned thinking.
What a great vid…
