I have failed 100 times and yet I have never failed at all. Now, at the age of 40, I can see that every single step was the foundation of my personal development. I have learned from everything and my countless attempts, experiments and explorations have driven me through various stages of development. Thank you for providing this profound overview here. I am at peace now.
What’s funny is once you reach this level of perspective, this probably wasn’t incredibly difficult to put together content wise. He’s just mastered this level of thinking. I mean, what’s mastery besides making the complex look effortless?
that's the heart of the philosophical discussion of Rationalism vs Empiricism. And that is where empiricism fails: besides it being great to debunk mysticism, it fails to recognize our innate intelligence, our inner power or knowledge a priori. We are not made to question everything, we are made to have a meaningful goal and strive towards it.
I find it interesting as a person growing up in the 70s of how human thought has evolved. That era had just a few select ideologies - money, fame and love were important. If you did not fit into the groove, you were ostracized. I encountered severe stress via some unfortunate events and my thinking began to think outside the norms because the norms did not work for me.. Fast forward to 2024 and now you see diverse and layered thought that has become normalized. Congratulations to Dan for presenting a logical and flowing explanation.
Judging *is* immaturity. The more you focus on judging others, the less you lose peace and pure connection to yourself and what is best for you. @@machtnichtsseimann
In my age, I’ve realized it’s all in the mind and heart. You can pull a successful entrepreneur out of his station and put him in a desperate situation with no money, no resources and no connections. Within 2 years, he’ll have something powerful started and trending towards success.
Of course it does and anybody says otherwise has no idea what are they talking about. A lot of financially successful guys i know are biggest morons and no real lofe achievements outside of money, sometimes i think they can't add two plus two, but for example one of them (ironically he is the one always preaching stupid stuff like positive thinking, and good approach will get you somewhere) inherited a business from his father. Business wasn't anything groundbreaking, but he made it extremely financially successful, you ask how ? Well he was selling something online that be bought from stationary sellers and then covid happened. So from small buissnes it suddenly became big buissnes. And he is so stupid that if u ask him why is he successful he would never tell you ooh because i was lucky my father created something small and then covid happened and i was rich. He would say a lot of stupid stuff oh you know hard work and i was smart and blah blah blah. And this is just one example.@@MrDjhealth
6:09 - so intellegence includes: understanting your goal, acting towards it, understanding your current state, comparing it with endgoal, correcting the course of acting if nessecary.
This is an excellent video with so many examples of how many people live their lives by default. This is largely due to most people lacking the ability to think critically. Critical thinking involves deep, profound and independent thinking that is not influenced by marketing, propaganda, religious rituals, political ideology, family, friends, mainstream media, mainstream thinking as well other societal accepted norms. Critical thinking involves TRUE independent and non biased thinking.
A cult deprogrammer said something interesting the other day in a video: "I don't like the term 'critical thinking'... I prefer 'reality testing'. Are these thoughts and feelings congruent with what us happening right now?"... I found that interesting.
What a weird claim., as if anybody's thinking is truly free from 'marketing, propaganda, religious rituals, political ideology, family, friends, mainstream media, and mainstream thinking' Critical thinking is first and foremost about AWARENESS, not presuming to be above all the crap our society shoves down our throat.
19:37 am already feelin this.. there is simply not enough time in a day to do all the things i wanna do. 8 hours sleep, 6 works work, 2 hours work out, 2 hours to feed spiritual needs, 2 hours to do grocery, do laundry, do dishes, cook, and eat. 3 hours to study. 1 hour of bonding. Okay what about commute? Commute will be done simultaneously as i listen to audio book and as i read a book on a piblic trnasportation. Yeah so packed right.
"You rarely enjoy the process until the goal is reached". Ive been working on creating a Fantasy Game for 2 years now and its the hardest thing Ive ever done.... Im grateful for the struggle but man its rough. Goal Focused BABY!!!!
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..
This is a fantastic explanation. I am 60 and have gone through these stages. I sure wish someone could have explained this to me when I was 30. It would have made some of the pain of life a bit more palatable.
@@Time_space_Reality Being versatile and having a broad range of skills can be highly valuable, even if it means not achieving complete mastery in one area. In many contexts, being adaptable, multi-skilled, and capable of bridging different areas of expertise can be more useful than narrow specialization especially in life in general. Think of AI vs AGI and apply it to humans. Sure! Let’s take an example from the workplace, specifically in the tech industry: Imagine two employees at a software company-one is a generalist who has knowledge of software development, user experience (UX) design, project management, and marketing, while the other is a specialist who is an expert solely in backend software development. Generalist Advantage Example: When the company decides to launch a new product, the generalist’s diverse skill set allows them to bridge the gap between different departments. They can help shape the product from concept to launch by understanding user needs (UX design), coordinating with the development team, managing timelines, and even assisting with marketing strategies. Their broad view of the project helps align teams, anticipate potential issues across different areas, and maintain a customer-centered approach. Meanwhile, the specialist excels at building efficient, high-quality backend code. However, their expertise may be limited to that scope, meaning they rely on others to connect their work to the user interface, manage team communication, or market the product effectively. Benefits for the Generalist: • Adaptability: The generalist can shift roles and fill gaps in the team, making them more resilient to changes within the company or industry. • Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: They can communicate effectively across departments, fostering innovation and ensuring everyone’s work aligns with the bigger picture. • Leadership Opportunities: Generalists often make strong leaders or project managers because they understand how all parts of a project fit together. In this example, the generalist’s broad perspective and ability to wear many hats help the company succeed in a complex, fast-paced environment, while the specialist’s expertise is critical but more focused. Both are valuable, but in dynamic settings where diverse skills and collaboration are key, the generalist may have an edge. -ChatGPT
Carrying a multi tool is often better than carrying only a very high quality flat head screwdriver. A person who speaks enough to get by in many languages is often more useful than a person with a complete mastery of only one language.
@@MetaphoricalMountaineering Here's my take, what do you think is easier to do? (1) Do ten things at a surface level, or (2) Do one thing for years and truly master it? The easier option is to do ten things but master none. Mastery, however, is respected across borders. So tell me, can you name ten extremely successful people who do ten things?
About people unconsciously planning for failure. I feel like people most often don’t do that but rather are okay with failing because their goal was to simply learn something new. Sometimes “that they indeed are not made for this challenge”. In other words if the goal was to succeed depends on what the person wanted to get out of it
If someone's goal was to learn something new and they do learn it, they didn't fail. He's talking about people that want to do something, but want to fail because they label themselves as failures so they need to fail again to keep up that image.
Unpopular opinion: quality social science education is just as vital as STEM education and helps one skip through a lot of these early, swiftly and quite naturally. Fluency develops at an early age for critical thinking and contextualizing different modes of thought, assumptions and operational matrices, while one develops a personal craft (usually perceived as something confusing, strange or unintelligible by more conventional others and specialized authority figures) of working within, outside and across different frameworks.
I grew up around Cherokee nation elder. I've witnessed what you're saying my entire life. Noticed that I was different before kindergarten and later realized to a large degree it was actually lack of social constraints.
Dan Koe hits the nail. Synthesizing psycho-cybernetics with ego development theory as a modern value creation teacher is a bold example of what he means by "become a deep generalist." What he's sharing here gives clarity to issues with various "spiritual" teachings that end up being ineffective ideologies: ego bashing that becomes its own ego trip! Anyways, I loved this one. Thanks Dan.
Ego bashing that becomes its own ego trip?! I'm not totally clear on the definition of Irony because of that Alanis Morrisette song, but this might be particularly rich. 🤤
Great insights! 📚✨ It’s all about being CURIOUS, embracing challenges, and committing to lifelong LEARNING. Remember, the journey to enhanced INTELLIGENCE starts with a GROWTH mindset. Keep pushing those boundaries! 🚀
I’m blown away Dan. Inspired, feel kindred and Appreciate your brain and willingness to explore in the way you do. Keep keeping. Has to be my favorite video to date
Very DEEP Video. 🤯 I Agree On Challenging Your Beliefs & Habits To Shape The New Reality You Are Currently Creating For Yourself. It's A Lonely Grind, But The Grind Must Continue. 🔥
It’s funny how I’ve been edging and blindly fumbling somewhere towards these ideas for a couple of months because I thought there has to be something more to what I don’t understand about myself and my development. And then bam, this video. Thanks for great food for thought
I’ve reached the unitive stage via hardship and a deep commitment to discovery and the hardest and final stage was accepting the beauty of everyone being at different stages. Seeing it as the masterpiece of the unified intelligence creating a dualistic reality. It’s a peaceful place to be. My NDE has a lot to do with my journey as well. Thanks for breaking it down so masterfully.
I'm not sure if I'm correct, but I think that what the whole point of the video is talking about is that intelligence is just more than problem solving and learning. I think that it also encompasses your perception of reality. It's about expanding your perspective of things to be able to better process information around you. I actually thought of improving my intelligence by improving the way I use my cognition (attention, learning, reasoning, perception and memory). I understand now that you're covering this because some people think it's just about reasoning, memory and problem solving. Thank you for expanding on the perception aspect. I have a more nuanced understanding of it now.
I think you're right, and I also think he is saying that intelligence includes being able to see things from outside of our physical selves, some would call it from spirit, or intuition maybe, or from the collective subconscious or through our connection with our higher self or with God maybe. When we see through this intelligence we care for all of life, not just our own
I think you can increase your intelligence to a small degree. If you think of people as having a range of potential intellect, you are still capped by genetics, but with room to improve or decline within that range. For example, going from an unhealthy lifestyle to getting quality sleep, exercise, diet, etc will directly affect your brain functionality, and allow you to unlock a higher potential intelligence. This is effectively *increasing your intelligence.
Its been a long time where i had to pause a video more than once to process the information. Im at 14 mind and it took me 1 hour to watch it. This is phenomenal information.
Here is some criticism. I feel like the approach that you are suggesting for intelligence is a bit self destructive if it requires an identity that cannot exist without productivity. It is cultivating a recipe for burnout and may pollute restful times with feelings of guilt about not being productive. I know this because I am a high performer and cybernetics really wont do much for you if you dont feel well. Tanking the discomfort only works up to a point, eventually your body itself is going to recoil, regardless of what you think. Your suggestions are good if and only if the person is consistently enjoying the process of doing whatever it is theyre doing, because goal based approaches are going to generate issues with self esteem when those goals are not achieved. Realistically, not everyone achieves all of their goals. Talk about smaller things if you want to play with this expectation-reward motivation style, instead of massive goals that humans have a tendency to fail at. You also forget several important aspects that govern the life of many individuals - deadlines, money and external life events that may make your approach unsustainable long term, and hinder the completion of goals, resulting in a downward spiral for the weaker-willed.
I have to say, while discussing stages of consciousness and ego development is interesting, it's fundamentally misguided to think that reaching the highest states can be achieved through thinking alone. Many of the so-called "enlightened" people didn't get there by analyzing or following a linear path; they connected with source through real experiences like meditation and presence. Relying on these intellectual models is actually a trap that keeps people stuck. The truth is, the mind can be a barrier to true consciousness. You can’t think your way to enlightenment-it's about transcending thought altogether. So let's stop pretending that understanding a hierarchy will lead to awakening. It’s time to recognize that genuine spiritual growth comes from deep, experiential practices, not just intellectual chatter.
beautiful video. Learnt a lot about various stages and really like you posting passages in your video so that I can enjoy them word for word. Quite challenging to get everything in my head at once and I'll look into the sources you mentioned.
You’re making an insightful point. When someone grows up in a culture where the term God carries deep personal and intimate resonance, it naturally becomes the most authentic way for them to refer to the ultimate being. Trying to replace it with a more abstract or neutral term can feel detached or impersonal. There’s real value in maintaining that connection, even as one’s philosophical or theological framework evolves. It’s not necessarily the name that needs changing but rather the surrounding philosophy that defines God, especially if it has become rigid or stagnant.
Philosophy is a human construct. Its like fancy mind entertainment. God in islam is unlike Christianity . God is great in islam actually means God is greater than to be even described. Most things that come under the category of philosophy is something we can describe, and God in islam doesn’t fall into the category we humans can actually describe.
Till know I haven’t watched a single video of this guy that hasn’t changed my pov on something his content is truly life changing but doesn’t get higher amount of likes because he doesn’t give out easy or cheap tricks my best regard to you Dan ❤
Deep and insightful video. I don't really feel the need to reach those later stages especially since you say high achievements can occur without them. But it's nice to know they're there.
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Charlotte Grace Miller.

I just withdrew my profits a week ago, To be honest it was an amazing feeling when the profits hits my wallet I wish I could reinvest but, too much bills
Very interesting presentation. You breezed through a number of comments that I think deserve a lot more scrutiny, but I will just weigh in on one statement around 45:30. "The truth is imminent in the universe, but can't be grasped by logic or rationality." Now, before I say anything more, I must preface by stating that I am in a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the top one percent of thinkers. With that said, I want to make a point that is deeply profound, yet surprisingly simple once you grasp it. We know that the left brain is responsible for logic and reason, while the right brain is attributed to creativity. The fact is that the two hemispheres of the brain are perpetually codependent. This is because all logic is a creative form of lesser logic. And all creativity is a play upon the rules and functions of logic. They are one in the same. Likewise, the truth that is imminent in the universe can and must be grasped by logic and rationality. That is to say, a higher order of reason. One must merely advance the mind to a position capable of comprehending the details of reality. It will all make sense when your mind has adjusted to this higher order of reasoning. The same way an ape will understand 1 − 0 = 0, when you take the banana from his hand, but yet cannot comprehend a mathematical table because it is far too complex. Such is the order of the universe to a lesser mind. All facts of existence make perfect sense to God as the creator of them. Thus, a mind closer to God's will be closer to understanding ultimate truth through a logical framework.
It’s kinda wild how people are only scratching the surface and don’t take the time to read 25 money secrets from Donald Trump. Get out of the rabbit hole.
To become more intelligent... just read printed books. Because intelligence rests on three aspects: language, memory and attention. And the printed books improve exactly language, memory and attention.
It is my humble opinion that Dan Koe is not just a content creation expert-he’s a visionary who brings a depth of understanding to the future of the digital economy that far surpasses his years. Could it be that the older generation (my GenX's and the BB's) has more to learn from him than they realize?
I’ve just decided I’m going to finally focus on how to develop my fuller self in wealth/foundation stabilization. And I can only do that by narrowing considerably what I pay attention to. I’m setting up a playlist to dive deeper into Dan Koes video and take intentional notes. I’m convinced now his way of approaching the “game of life” is a great part of my own vision of becoming FREE. Time to begin in earnest. May I join the tribe of others who are also doing this for themselves and their loved ones. 🙏🏽
Money is a measure of achievement that our world uses, it will start changing soon as money doesn't mean much except to the ego.

It's not about making money, it's about getting what you want out of life, and usually it involves money to some extent. If you're intelligent enough you can self assign goals, take action and learn from feedback. If that goal involves making money and you succeed at that. It's a proof of your intelligence.
you literally explained my whole thought process! I preach about this shit with my friends but all they got to say is 'you think you can but actually you can't' like seriously i feel sooo tempted to send them this video but im scared to hurt their feelings cuz they sensitive af
A person can not see possibilities beyond what they think it's possible for them. You being friends with those people indicate to them, on a subconscious level, that you're the same. Don't get offended, it's more about them than you.
Guys i am real guy and not a bot. This vid is a complete waste of time or feel good video. This guy should write the title "discussing random behavioral facts". I was here to learn how can i increase my intelligence, i wanted no bullshit answers. I am sorry not out of hate but this guy has no idea what should be the content of the video.
I went into a period where I rejected religion for the first time, at the age of 20 and started questioning reality. When I left religion and my beliefs about it, it felt like I have lost all my "powers" that I chained myself to. Throughout some months of reading about religions and thinking I came to the conclusion that the purpose of every religion is to help you become the best version of yourself, to unlock your full potential, be it prayers that increase faith, ultimately the trust in the future and your success or some higher being that holds your back. The common denominator is to help you function at full capacity. I struggled to find a way to replace religion in order to function at full capacity, as I became dependent on it for so many years. You just have to trust in yourself and build slowly.
All religions are traps to make you belive God is outside of you and you need to worship an external source above you. They don't want to tell you the truth that you're a powerful spiritual being from the source and you can create whatever you want.
@@jjchen249 You made a mistake Brother, Bible says John 14:17 (NIV) "...But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you." So God is not outside of us, He loves us so much that He died on the cross for us! #Christislord

This video is very deep on spirituality and I'm glad I can grasp what you are talking about. We're spiritual beings, fregments from the infinite source but we take this physical world way too seriously and forgot we have infinite creativity and power to create the reality we desire. All we need to do is go inward and discover ourselves. Uninstall all the limiting beliefs we've been forced to take on and steer ourselves to life that we truly want. Thanks Dan, you're my inspirations as always.
Ye man some of us tend to be like that, we have to listen to something more that 5 times but we need to if we want to receive all information, i struggle with it and its mostly a concentration thing. Its basically training(for me at least maybe we're not the same)
While listening to this video, much of the philosophy discussed here reminded me of Sorelle Amore and her human psyche evolution. I don’t always understand her in a literal sense, but she often gives my intuition something to think about. and her content is pretty fun to watch.
@@pdworld3421 I thought you had a reason when you typed that. Plus you don't have to listen only people like "Einstein", you can learn a lot from many people.
@robertlashley3164 you can learn how to do things wrong and how to waste your time also- so my statement was- basically- I don't know if this is a person that knows what he's talking about or a person trying to make money on UA-cam or through youtube- which is my suspicion. 90 percent of the people on UA-cam are making these bold unfounded claims - get rich quick schemes and people are wasting their time listening to them
not only low of inteligence, but also childhood traumas, the belief you are not capable, you are not good enough. That's something I heard a lot when I was kid, and even though I understand that's not real, but inner child believes it, hence I usually give up doing something because I don't believe in myself
I recommend reading a book about Self talk. Using the right way of communication with yourself allows you to reprogram your mind and remove old obsolete beliefs. I wish you well
Agree. In fact this video stared off with much promise but I feel lost direction and focus as he went on….he is spending most of the time since 27:00 quoting other people…. Ken Wilbur is a fascinating guy but I don’t think he is concerned with goals and personal achievement in the way this video emphasizes. Also mention of Alan Watts!? Watts was the most vocal promoter of WU WEI, the art of not trying….Watts told us to let life be as it is, not to pursue rewards, and not to take it all so seriously…. He died a seemingly happy drunk in his late 60’s. Once again, don’t listen to other people as though they have something you don’t!! Think for yourself and devise your own paradigms.
Personally i think the best way to keep progressing is to continue to question your own beliefs and assumptions. All of your fundamental truths should be continually questioned. If it is currently still true then it can withstand the questions. If it can't withstand the questions then it isn't true. Critical to always monitor yourself as much as possible for confirmation bias. It can poison any journey of progression

“The worst judge of all is the man now most ready with his judgments; the ill-educated Christian turning gradually into the ill-tempered agnostic, entangled in the end of a feud of which he never understood the beginning, blighted with a sort of hereditary boredom with he knows not what, and already weary of hearing what he has never heard.” -G.K. Chesterton
Too much mumbo-jumbo, Hard to understand and very little practical advice, Unlike the videos in the past. I think you should understand the topic first and then try to explain it in simple terms, This should have been a max 10mins video, Before anyone says anything I did watch the whole video and it wasn't worth it. If you want to be more intelligent than 99% of people make small videos that make their point in few easy to understand words
Lots of " mystics " in the comment section aswell man. Your comment is one of the very very few that actually resemble some intellect. This man just stole 50 minutes from my youth. How sad.
That's what I was saying, too much mumbo jumbo. I had to stop at 10:10. I mean I was all like too many words spilling out of that man's pretty mouth. oooh them lips is sexy and those blue eyes. Oh mah gawd. I could anyone pay attention, really. And when he makes those serious remarks his face is wildcat, puma, cougar. Intense cat vibe. Ooh huney lemme be your prey. I promise to do the homework assignment and turn in a full page report. Ya know have you ever thought about doin a podcast on one of them cam 2 can sites? I think you would be very good at it, and I can help you. OK sexy kitty man, you just stay fierce and beautiful. Nighty night.
On my break, i should be studying bc i dont have much time in my days otherwise. I started this video and got really close to convincing myself that "its useful so ill do it, ill study later". But the key to enacting true change is putting an end to compromise and making you FEEL like you're moving forward because you're learning something good, but that is taking away from an action that will ACTUALLY do something to progress your life. Ill watch the rest of this video later.
I think you get most things right, except on religion. Mysticism or New Age is far from being the highest form of spirituality. The highest form is actually going back to deep faith in God. You will never get there if you never let yourself open your mind in that. Most stay in atheism or mysticism. You don’t know how much you are missing.
Plus, have you not noticed that most people later in life eventually go back to Christianity? It is far from a regression, but you will never accept that if you say you are open minded but yet you aren’t in that specific area. I myself have looped back, best decision ever!
35:50 Higher stages do not only understand their own lower stages. Different higher stages from unique realms do understand each other better too, because they have always more in common than the lower stages of different realms.

Some of it is nature some of it is nurture at some point you reach a level of intelligence where it just becomes will power. Eventually you learn really high levels of pattern recognition the thing that limits most is access to opportunities which again is a skill issue. Most anyone can completely transform themselves in 5 years or less and get anything they want in the next 5.
8:15 so true. This concept could be an entire video itself. People seem to strive for comfort and utopia, but those things are impossible in perpetuity because everything exists by comparison and in contrast to everything else. The struggle is what makes the achievement so satisfying. The concept of an eternal heaven is impossible by its own nature. Boredom and dissatisfaction would eventually creep in. It’s the reason why billionaires want to be trillionaires etc. It’s never enough because as soon as the struggle ends, so too does the entire purpose of existence
idk if you will read this, it felt extremely uncanny watching this. I have experienced and operated on all of the stages you mentioned. Yet, I don't have any command on staying in any one of them. It's like I have the apparatus to change my focus, yet I don't have the control over the amount of focus being used at any given time. I have reached the place where I consider whether it is necessary for me to intervene or if I am just going to hamper someone's developmental process as a human being. I am aware of the actions that will help someone in the short term and the ones that are imperative for them to reach a level of ability where help wouldn't be a requirement anymore. But, it's like sand, the more you try to grasp it, the less you have in your hand.
Setting a goal that is unattainable in the long term, such as increasing one's bodily height, may be a marker of lack of intelligence. - Knee high Accept me high.
I've come to believe that happiness is directly tied to intelligence. They say intelligent people are usually more depressed but that's only because they aren't as smart as they think and cant form connections with those they deem stupider or inferior. A truly intelligent person will figure out a way to be happy in any situation and funds a solution to get the best out of any situation. So those so called intelligent people who are depressed are failing to be actually smart and they're just emo with more narcissisim
when you say just in your statements, perhaps you're missing something, for example, the fingers pointing back the pot calling the kettle and so on. I agree with the first portion of the comment, but by the end, it seems you get lazy.
There are some situation where it is just impossible to be happy (or only an insane person could be happy) for example ...imagine the prisoners in the Nazi death camps or the prisoners in the Stalin goulags. I think many fail to be happy because they can not find meaning in their life or just chase goals (Western status symbols). Many have à Christian background ...the background is fading and people struggle to find a new sense in life.
I don't see how you can say that when there are people who are deeply unhappy but if a difficult concept novel to both you and that person were explained what might take you days would take them seconds. You're using your own made up definition of intelligence here which, if fully laid out, almost no one would actually agree with.
Absolutely wrong. First, you assume that people primarily want happiness. Okay, everyone does in some part, but there are other things that people want. Second, having greater capacity, means that simple problems are not interesting, so people search for problems that are at the edge of being doable by them, so that the actions would seem meaningful, but that at the same time does not bring contentment, when you have not solved the problem yet.

that's the heart of the philosophical discussion of Rationalism vs Empiricism. And that is where empiricism fails: besides it being great to debunk mysticism, it fails to recognize our innate intelligence, our inner power or knowledge a priori. We are not made to question everything, we are made to have a meaningful goal and strive towards it.
I find it interesting as a person growing up in the 70s of how human thought has evolved. That era had just a few select ideologies - money, fame and love were important. If you did not fit into the groove, you were ostracized. I encountered severe stress via some unfortunate events and my thinking began to think outside the norms because the norms did not work for me.. Fast forward to 2024 and now you see diverse and layered thought that has become normalized. Congratulations to Dan for presenting a logical and flowing explanation.
"Observing without judging is the highest form of Intelligence"

And this "highest form of intelligence" can still ironically be a form of spiritual immaturity.
But develop _discernment_

Judging *is* immaturity. The more you focus on judging others, the less you lose peace and pure connection to yourself and what is best for you. @@machtnichtsseimann

In my age, I’ve realized it’s all in the mind and heart. You can pull a successful entrepreneur out of his station and put him in a desperate situation with no money, no resources and no connections. Within 2 years, he’ll have something powerful started and trending towards success.

according to Mark Cuban that is not true and luck plays a big role in entrepreneur success
Of course it does and anybody says otherwise has no idea what are they talking about. A lot of financially successful guys i know are biggest morons and no real lofe achievements outside of money, sometimes i think they can't add two plus two, but for example one of them (ironically he is the one always preaching stupid stuff like positive thinking, and good approach will get you somewhere) inherited a business from his father. Business wasn't anything groundbreaking, but he made it extremely financially successful, you ask how ? Well he was selling something online that be bought from stationary sellers and then covid happened. So from small buissnes it suddenly became big buissnes. And he is so stupid that if u ask him why is he successful he would never tell you ooh because i was lucky my father created something small and then covid happened and i was rich. He would say a lot of stupid stuff oh you know hard work and i was smart and blah blah blah. And this is just one example.@@MrDjhealth

6:09 - so intellegence includes: understanting your goal, acting towards it, understanding your current state, comparing it with endgoal, correcting the course of acting if nessecary.
This is an excellent video with so many examples of how many people live their lives by default. This is largely due to most people lacking the ability to think critically.
Critical thinking involves deep, profound and independent thinking that is not influenced by marketing, propaganda, religious rituals, political ideology, family, friends, mainstream media, mainstream thinking as well other societal accepted norms. Critical thinking involves TRUE independent and non biased thinking.
A cult deprogrammer said something interesting the other day in a video: "I don't like the term 'critical thinking'... I prefer 'reality testing'. Are these thoughts and feelings congruent with what us happening right now?"... I found that interesting.
What a weird claim., as if anybody's thinking is truly free from 'marketing, propaganda, religious rituals, political ideology, family, friends, mainstream media, and mainstream thinking' Critical thinking is first and foremost about AWARENESS, not presuming to be above all the crap our society shoves down our throat.
Great comment man on point
Your environment and the people you are surrounded by makes a difference if you can afford a place and have the time to think.
19:37 am already feelin this.. there is simply not enough time in a day to do all the things i wanna do. 8 hours sleep, 6 works work, 2 hours work out, 2 hours to feed spiritual needs, 2 hours to do grocery, do laundry, do dishes, cook, and eat. 3 hours to study. 1 hour of bonding.

Don’t forget Jack’s quote:
“A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes is better than a master of one”
Give me an example
@@Time_space_Reality Being versatile and having a broad range of skills can be highly valuable, even if it means not achieving complete mastery in one area. In many contexts, being adaptable, multi-skilled, and capable of bridging different areas of expertise can be more useful than narrow specialization especially in life in general. Think of AI vs AGI and apply it to humans.
Sure! Let’s take an example from the workplace, specifically in the tech industry:
Imagine two employees at a software company-one is a generalist who has knowledge of software development, user experience (UX) design, project management, and marketing, while the other is a specialist who is an expert solely in backend software development.
Generalist Advantage Example:
When the company decides to launch a new product, the generalist’s diverse skill set allows them to bridge the gap between different departments. They can help shape the product from concept to launch by understanding user needs (UX design), coordinating with the development team, managing timelines, and even assisting with marketing strategies. Their broad view of the project helps align teams, anticipate potential issues across different areas, and maintain a customer-centered approach.
Meanwhile, the specialist excels at building efficient, high-quality backend code. However, their expertise may be limited to that scope, meaning they rely on others to connect their work to the user interface, manage team communication, or market the product effectively.
Benefits for the Generalist:
• Adaptability: The generalist can shift roles and fill gaps in the team, making them more resilient to changes within the company or industry.
• Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: They can communicate effectively across departments, fostering innovation and ensuring everyone’s work aligns with the bigger picture.
• Leadership Opportunities: Generalists often make strong leaders or project managers because they understand how all parts of a project fit together.
In this example, the generalist’s broad perspective and ability to wear many hats help the company succeed in a complex, fast-paced environment, while the specialist’s expertise is critical but more focused. Both are valuable, but in dynamic settings where diverse skills and collaboration are key, the generalist may have an edge. -ChatGPT
Carrying a multi tool is often better than carrying only a very high quality flat head screwdriver. A person who speaks enough to get by in many languages is often more useful than a person with a complete mastery of only one language.

Here's my take, what do you think is easier to do? (1) Do ten things at a surface level, or (2) Do one thing for years and truly master it? The easier option is to do ten things but master none. Mastery, however, is respected across borders. So tell me, can you name ten extremely successful people who do ten things?
The most successful people in the world all do multiple things lol what you talking about@@Time_space_Reality
About people unconsciously planning for failure. I feel like people most often don’t do that but rather are okay with failing because their goal was to simply learn something new. Sometimes “that they indeed are not made for this challenge”. In other words if the goal was to succeed depends on what the person wanted to get out of it
If someone's goal was to learn something new and they do learn it, they didn't fail. He's talking about people that want to do something, but want to fail because they label themselves as failures so they need to fail again to keep up that image.
Unpopular opinion: quality social science education is just as vital as STEM education and helps one skip through a lot of these early, swiftly and quite naturally. Fluency develops at an early age for critical thinking and contextualizing different modes of thought, assumptions and operational matrices, while one develops a personal craft (usually perceived as something confusing, strange or unintelligible by more conventional others and specialized authority figures) of working within, outside and across different frameworks.

Dan Koe hits the nail. Synthesizing psycho-cybernetics with ego development theory as a modern value creation teacher is a bold example of what he means by "become a deep generalist."
What he's sharing here gives clarity to issues with various "spiritual" teachings that end up being ineffective ideologies: ego bashing that becomes its own ego trip!
Anyways, I loved this one. Thanks Dan.

It’s funny how I’ve been edging and blindly fumbling somewhere towards these ideas for a couple of months because I thought there has to be something more to what I don’t understand about myself and my development. And then bam, this video. Thanks for great food for thought
Dan, you’re doing incredible work.
I’ve reached the unitive stage via hardship and a deep commitment to discovery and the hardest and final stage was accepting the beauty of everyone being at different stages. Seeing it as the masterpiece of the unified intelligence creating a dualistic reality. It’s a peaceful place to be. My NDE has a lot to do with my journey as well. Thanks for breaking it down so masterfully.
I'm not sure if I'm correct, but I think that what the whole point of the video is talking about is that intelligence is just more than problem solving and learning. I think that it also encompasses your perception of reality. It's about expanding your perspective of things to be able to better process information around you. I actually thought of improving my intelligence by improving the way I use my cognition (attention, learning, reasoning, perception and memory). I understand now that you're covering this because some people think it's just about reasoning, memory and problem solving. Thank you for expanding on the perception aspect. I have a more nuanced understanding of it now.
I think you're right, and I also think he is saying that intelligence includes being able to see things from outside of our physical selves, some would call it from spirit, or intuition maybe, or from the collective subconscious or through our connection with our higher self or with God maybe. When we see through this intelligence we care for all of life, not just our own
Wow! Incredibly thought-provoking! Subscribed
“You haven’t tooken the step that reveals the next step …” said Dan
I learned a great deal. I absorbed as much as I could and will reference back to this video. You speak like a Senior Software Engineer.
One can't increase their intelligence. However, one can master patterns of information such that they SEEM more intelligent.
I think you can increase your intelligence to a small degree. If you think of people as having a range of potential intellect, you are still capped by genetics, but with room to improve or decline within that range.
For example, going from an unhealthy lifestyle to getting quality sleep, exercise, diet, etc will directly affect your brain functionality, and allow you to unlock a higher potential intelligence. This is effectively *increasing your intelligence.
Its been a long time where i had to pause a video more than once to process the information.
Im at 14 mind and it took me 1 hour to watch it. This is phenomenal information.
Here is some criticism.
I feel like the approach that you are suggesting for intelligence is a bit self destructive if it requires an identity that cannot exist without productivity. It is cultivating a recipe for burnout and may pollute restful times with feelings of guilt about not being productive. I know this because I am a high performer and cybernetics really wont do much for you if you dont feel well. Tanking the discomfort only works up to a point, eventually your body itself is going to recoil, regardless of what you think. Your suggestions are good if and only if the person is consistently enjoying the process of doing whatever it is theyre doing, because goal based approaches are going to generate issues with self esteem when those goals are not achieved. Realistically, not everyone achieves all of their goals. Talk about smaller things if you want to play with this expectation-reward motivation style, instead of massive goals that humans have a tendency to fail at. You also forget several important aspects that govern the life of many individuals - deadlines, money and external life events that may make your approach unsustainable long term, and hinder the completion of goals, resulting in a downward spiral for the weaker-willed.
Love what you said. While many might be intelligent, very few are wise.
Great video.
Love the information you provided.
Love this concept, 48 min of gold❤
I love how you always keep us focused on the goal!
For real
I have to say, while discussing stages of consciousness and ego development is interesting, it's fundamentally misguided to think that reaching the highest states can be achieved through thinking alone. Many of the so-called "enlightened" people didn't get there by analyzing or following a linear path; they connected with source through real experiences like meditation and presence.
Relying on these intellectual models is actually a trap that keeps people stuck. The truth is, the mind can be a barrier to true consciousness. You can’t think your way to enlightenment-it's about transcending thought altogether. So let's stop pretending that understanding a hierarchy will lead to awakening. It’s time to recognize that genuine spiritual growth comes from deep, experiential practices, not just intellectual chatter.
Problem is, you only understand this once you reach that stage.
You have nicely explained just one barrier, in a complex process.
To support the claim, can you recommend other videos?
He who speaks does not know, he who knows does not speak; or similar.
beautiful video. Learnt a lot about various stages and really like you posting passages in your video so that I can enjoy them word for word.
Quite challenging to get everything in my head at once and I'll look into the sources you mentioned.
You’re making an insightful point. When someone grows up in a culture where the term God carries deep personal and intimate resonance, it naturally becomes the most authentic way for them to refer to the ultimate being. Trying to replace it with a more abstract or neutral term can feel detached or impersonal. There’s real value in maintaining that connection, even as one’s philosophical or theological framework evolves. It’s not necessarily the name that needs changing but rather the surrounding philosophy that defines God, especially if it has become rigid or stagnant.
Philosophy is a human construct. Its like fancy mind entertainment.
God in islam is unlike Christianity . God is great in islam actually means God is greater than to be even described.
Most things that come under the category of philosophy is something we can describe, and God in islam doesn’t fall into the category we humans can actually describe.

Very interesting presentation. You breezed through a number of comments that I think deserve a lot more scrutiny, but I will just weigh in on one statement around 45:30.
"The truth is imminent in the universe, but can't be grasped by logic or rationality."
Now, before I say anything more, I must preface by stating that I am in a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the top one percent of thinkers.
With that said, I want to make a point that is deeply profound, yet surprisingly simple once you grasp it. We know that the left brain is responsible for logic and reason, while the right brain is attributed to creativity. The fact is that the two hemispheres of the brain are perpetually codependent. This is because all logic is a creative form of lesser logic. And all creativity is a play upon the rules and functions of logic. They are one in the same.
Likewise, the truth that is imminent in the universe can and must be grasped by logic and rationality. That is to say, a higher order of reason. One must merely advance the mind to a position capable of comprehending the details of reality. It will all make sense when your mind has adjusted to this higher order of reasoning.
The same way an ape will understand 1 − 0 = 0, when you take the banana from his hand, but yet cannot comprehend a mathematical table because it is far too complex. Such is the order of the universe to a lesser mind. All facts of existence make perfect sense to God as the creator of them. Thus, a mind closer to God's will be closer to understanding ultimate truth through a logical framework.
To claim to be a clear thinker and start the argument with an appeal to authority.

It saddesnt me how quickly money enters every discussion about intelligence. But i guess thats where we are 😅
Grow up... it TAKES MONEY to live free of labor, so one can use the mind, have time for free thinking and accomplishments. Get real.
@@cliffdariff74 do you have money?
I agree. It's dumb to reduce the meaning of life to money... But Idiocracy is catching up.
Money is a measure of achievement that our world uses, it will start changing soon as money doesn't mean much except to the ego.
It's not about making money, it's about getting what you want out of life, and usually it involves money to some extent. If you're intelligent enough you can self assign goals, take action and learn from feedback. If that goal involves making money and you succeed at that. It's a proof of your intelligence.

Good Stuff Dan as always!
I went into a period where I rejected religion for the first time, at the age of 20 and started questioning reality. When I left religion and my beliefs about it, it felt like I have lost all my "powers" that I chained myself to. Throughout some months of reading about religions and thinking I came to the conclusion that the purpose of every religion is to help you become the best version of yourself, to unlock your full potential, be it prayers that increase faith, ultimately the trust in the future and your success or some higher being that holds your back. The common denominator is to help you function at full capacity. I struggled to find a way to replace religion in order to function at full capacity, as I became dependent on it for so many years. You just have to trust in yourself and build slowly.
All religions are traps to make you belive God is outside of you and you need to worship an external source above you.
They don't want to tell you the truth that you're a powerful spiritual being from the source and you can create whatever you want.
I believe in a higher power (it’s everywhere)and I ask it for help but I also know I have to do my part.

Agree. In fact this video stared off with much promise but I feel lost direction and focus as he went on….he is spending most of the time since 27:00 quoting other people…. Ken Wilbur is a fascinating guy but I don’t think he is concerned with goals and personal achievement in the way this video emphasizes. Also mention of Alan Watts!? Watts was the most vocal promoter of WU WEI, the art of not trying….Watts told us to let life be as it is, not to pursue rewards, and not to take it all so seriously…. He died a seemingly happy drunk in his late 60’s.
Once again, don’t listen to other people as though they have something you don’t!! Think for yourself and devise your own paradigms.
Personally i think the best way to keep progressing is to continue to question your own beliefs and assumptions. All of your fundamental truths should be continually questioned. If it is currently still true then it can withstand the questions. If it can't withstand the questions then it isn't true. Critical to always monitor yourself as much as possible for confirmation bias. It can poison any journey of progression

Ill watch the rest of this video later.
Lets use this comment as a summary for the video. Share your learnings below 🧠
"My mind is locked into the goal, and the key of that lock is at the end of the path of success or failure; so shall my ability to focus appear."
I think you get most things right, except on religion. Mysticism or New Age is far from being the highest form of spirituality. The highest form is actually going back to deep faith in God. You will never get there if you never let yourself open your mind in that. Most stay in atheism or mysticism. You don’t know how much you are missing.
Plus, have you not noticed that most people later in life eventually go back to Christianity? It is far from a regression, but you will never accept that if you say you are open minded but yet you aren’t in that specific area.
I myself have looped back, best decision ever!
35:50 Higher stages do not only understand their own lower stages. Different higher stages from unique realms do understand each other better too, because they have always more in common than the lower stages of different realms.
This is just 48 minutes of fluff without any practical advice.
I really want to disagree and debunk your comment but man I really cant. I really hoped to get something good out of this video. The presenter looks smart too and I really was wishing for some tips... Oh well. Guess I'll go back to grinding duel n back and eating nuts.
Would you like a bulleted list?
I would read one lol
@@Founder2721 Btw, I didn't know about dual n back, I was trying with weight training and nootropics. I've seen some videos after seeing your comment and I'm gonna practice it from today.
He's explaining the journey. That is the one advice.
Just finished Susanne R. Cook-Greuter’s book on Ego Development that you have suggested, and that you have been beautifully elaborating on. Looking forward to more vertical expansion, and linking the dots between Spiral Dynamics and AQAL 😉
All of this is Mind opening, and extremely helpful.
Thank you 🙏🏼🌺
If you're watching this video, you aren't capable of becoming that intelligent.
Some of it is nature some of it is nurture at some point you reach a level of intelligence where it just becomes will power. Eventually you learn really high levels of pattern recognition the thing that limits most is access to opportunities which again is a skill issue. Most anyone can completely transform themselves in 5 years or less and get anything they want in the next 5.
8:15 so true. This concept could be an entire video itself. People seem to strive for comfort and utopia, but those things are impossible in perpetuity because everything exists by comparison and in contrast to everything else. The struggle is what makes the achievement so satisfying. The concept of an eternal heaven is impossible by its own nature. Boredom and dissatisfaction would eventually creep in. It’s the reason why billionaires want to be trillionaires etc. It’s never enough because as soon as the struggle ends, so too does the entire purpose of existence
Gibberish.
idk if you will read this, it felt extremely uncanny watching this. I have experienced and operated on all of the stages you mentioned. Yet, I don't have any command on staying in any one of them. It's like I have the apparatus to change my focus, yet I don't have the control over the amount of focus being used at any given time. I have reached the place where I consider whether it is necessary for me to intervene or if I am just going to hamper someone's developmental process as a human being. I am aware of the actions that will help someone in the short term and the ones that are imperative for them to reach a level of ability where help wouldn't be a requirement anymore. But, it's like sand, the more you try to grasp it, the less you have in your hand.
I lost braincells listening to you
You lost "Pre-programmed" braincells by the society! 😊
Care to elaborate?
Loved quite alot of it. Never heard TOOKEN used in a sentence before so that was a first...
Wow. I noticed that too.
It's hard to speak about intelligence when you're not.
The beginning of Spirituality is 1st connecting with oneself
Setting a goal that is unattainable in the long term, such as increasing one's bodily height, may be a marker of lack of intelligence.
- Knee high Accept me high.

Were you on mushrooms 🍄🍄 when you wrote that
Kneehigh was in fact standing on a mushroom when he said that.
Absolutely incredible! Very well executed.
I've come to believe that happiness is directly tied to intelligence.
They say intelligent people are usually more depressed but that's only because they aren't as smart as they think and cant form connections with those they deem stupider or inferior.
A truly intelligent person will figure out a way to be happy in any situation and funds a solution to get the best out of any situation.
So those so called intelligent people who are depressed are failing to be actually smart and they're just emo with more narcissisim
when you say just in your statements, perhaps you're missing something, for example, the fingers pointing back the pot calling the kettle and so on. I agree with the first portion of the comment, but by the end, it seems you get lazy.
There are some situation where it is just impossible to be happy (or only an insane person could be happy) for example ...imagine the prisoners in the Nazi death camps or the prisoners in the Stalin goulags. I think many fail to be happy because they can not find meaning in their life or just chase goals (Western status symbols). Many have à Christian background ...the background is fading and people struggle to find a new sense in life.
I don't see how you can say that when there are people who are deeply unhappy but if a difficult concept novel to both you and that person were explained what might take you days would take them seconds. You're using your own made up definition of intelligence here which, if fully laid out, almost no one would actually agree with.
@@The9thDoctor absolutely right.
Absolutely wrong. First, you assume that people primarily want happiness. Okay, everyone does in some part, but there are other things that people want. Second, having greater capacity, means that simple problems are not interesting, so people search for problems that are at the edge of being doable by them, so that the actions would seem meaningful, but that at the same time does not bring contentment, when you have not solved the problem yet.
Thanx Dan !!
Thank you Lord Jesus for the gift of life and blessings to me and my family $14,120.47 weekly profit Our lord Jesus have lifted up my Life!!!🙏❤️❤️

Same, I met Elizabeth stark last year for the first time at a conference in Wilshire, after then my Life has changed for good.God bless Elizabeth stark
Her services is the best, I got a brand new Lambo last week and paid off my mortgage loan thanks to her wonderful services!
Can anybody clear the moment, please? Dan talks a lot about how everyday writing help him to become more focus and effective, but ,may be I missed, he didn’t mention about of type of activity: is it handwriting or a laptop activity.
do you really think jordan Petterson is smart? hahahah dude can't go to sleep without his medication.
Paradox
@ incel? 😞
This is quite a nonsensical statement.
He's manic but he also is highly intelligent IQ wise and goal achieving Lens. Since I can't name one psychologist who is as succesful, as influential and as rich as him... you can't fight reality!
@@MindShiftChronicleHe got that one right, because most people are like sheep so he takes advantage of that. But if a person has critical thinking, they definitely wont buy into Jordan the baby mans words😅
-"Humans are extremely bad at predicting exponential growth"... proceeds understimate exponential growth
Jordan Peterson?! Really?!
One of the most articulate people alive? Yes, really. Just because you don't agree with his views doesn't mean the reality is otherwise
