@@arnavrawat9864what are you using having no ego to justify, when do you notice yourself looking down on people. Prioritize experiential learning, not things that sound wise.
@@raspy__ How to not look down on people? It's different if you're egoistic, it's simpler to tell yourself to not be xyz. When you have an ego around being smart and without ego, what do I tell myself when I think someone is wrong?
dude! what an awesome pod. had no idea you existed. the bit about being a child really resonated with me - they don't think about "should i be doing this?" they just do it. They almost have no clue what the consequences of their actions will be, they're just ready to take the leap. i cant imagine how much we could accomplish if we didn't second guess our decision making and just did the thing and evaluated the result after the fact. thanks for this interview.
I love Dr. K. He is such a light in the world with such unique and powerful past experiences. What a perfect blend of Western medicine mixed with philosophy, culture, and relevant culture. He isn't some woo-woo guy. There are so many gurus, salesmen, and pseudoscience-driven people out there; Dr. K touches on everything but doesn't betray his education. When he touches on Eastern medicine/philosophy, it acts as a cherry on top realizing that both act together with an entourage effect.
I wish Dr K wrote a book about his life, especially his whole time he was at the ashram or monastary. Sounds so interesting and as he said, full of knowledge that the western world doesn't have.
Subscribed after algorithm recommended Aiden episode, this channel will obviously do really well. I’m no expert, but between working from home & always having UA-cam on in the background my watch time is 12+ hours a day. If there’s one suggestion I could make, it would be to add a playlist of the episodes sorted by most popular to the main page. Makes it easy to bing episodes from smart tv’s or other devices with lacking UA-cam apps, and on mobile/desktop will auto play next video. Where if I had clicked on a video normally at the end it might not auto play, and may play video from another channel.
@@trykarat Thanks for the compliment! I really think this channel is especially binge-able considering how high quality the audio/video is from the beginning. As much as I love Mr. Beast I noticed he recently changed the first playlist on his channel to latest videos. I’m assuming they noticed the quality of their old/new videos is so different that watching by most popular is jarring. Also StoryMode unlisted dozens of old videos and added them to playlist specifically so people finding the channel didn’t start with the old/worse quality content. I believe y’all starting out so strong will completely avoid this issue.
Man I have this experience, and I found an even excruciating pain for me, that is I fking tried my ass off after being not doing my assignments for years. And I found maybe my brain is just that small and incapable of what’s required to achieve basic average person goal nowadays. But I feel average nowadays people are crazy, broken and somehow make it through, maybe I can get through it with this sh’t brain as well. Hope good luck for both of us.
I'm interested in the differences between Dr.K's spiritual beliefs/tradition and his wife's. Maybe he can make a video on that, or let his wife on his channel to make a video explaining her philosophy
*7:10 This is exactly what happened to me I tried so hard and she anyways left me after cheating on me for 5 years and now I have dreams of her daily and I blame myself for how I behaved, I think that I could have done better, I should have done this, I shouldn't have done or said this to her. It's eating me from inside out. I hope I will find peace or else I would get to peace in anyway possible. I hope I will see light. Having suffered most of my life, I hope that will pay off or else I am done with this life. I am sorry for whoever is reading, I am sorry I am kinda venting out here. Sorry. I need peace.
This has been a bit too intense of an interview for me and right now I'm in deep thought (jokes on me, as I was trying to procrastinate). The goal I've set to myself and that gives meaning and direction to my life comes from my individuality. It is tied to others' well-being but it is also intimmately connected to my own self and what I "need" to be happy. I conceptualize it as materialising the love I feel into a job, but the selfish component is undoubtedly there (even if apparently redeemed by the altruistic quality of my pursuit). Right now I'm full-on focused on that path. However, after listening to this podcast, I can say that I think my life mission is another one. One which is less connected to my own happiness and more to others. But I really really don't want to set aside what I'm doing. And being the best at what I'm doing right now could make unable to later in life commit to what I actually think that my mission in life is (complicated, I'm not going to explain it). Damn dude, I really didn't need this on a Saturday evening. Thank you for the amazing conversation, though. Putting aside Dr. K's brilliance, you did a really great job going beyond the surface and directly addressing the concepts that make this interview so powerful.
Thank you for sharing your journey- I’ve gone through similar realizations myself and even listening to Dr. K during the podcast prompted further changes in my thinking. Excited for you
Okay but I am curious, about the "ego of having no ego" part. How do I let go of the thought that letting go will help me be more in control? Because it feels impossible
Because it isn't about being in control or not. Is the motivation behind wanting to have or not have control. Then there are the actual beneficial parts of life where knowing how to control yourself when you need it, it's helpful. But It actually doesn't matter if you are in control or not all the time. In my perspective it's just a tool that comes from knowing yourself better and working on yourself. It's doesn't have to be complicated, just try what you thinks it's best for you and if it changes in the way or not, you are going to learn something new about yourself.
I see this when I am about to make one of the biggest dicisions of my life ( choosing a medical speciality) in 2 months and I am bad at making dicisions 😭
Am I failure I don't even know the mind wait but restricting video games is bad man you're cool I wish I could donate to you I've cried to your iron mouse podcast and I've also cried to like multiple of your podcasts or like long videos.
This is completely unrelated. I've been wanting to start a YT channel. Watching these YT channels grow out of nowhere shows me that I just need to know the algorithm for video making.
Yea!! A big motivation behind the channel is showing you- hey here’s a group of really cool people who have figured out so many different ways to become successful creators- if they can do it, then you can too!
It's really as easy as Mr Beast says: "make the best videos possible". You need to pick a niche (a type of topic that you talk about e.g. Fitness, American politics, car reviews, mobile gaming etc.) Then you need to learn how to edit videos so they are interesting. There's a bunch of free UA-cam tutorials for that. Then learn how to make good thumbnails. This involves learning photography skills and Photoshop (once again there's free UA-cam tutorials). You can take inspiration from other people. Then learn how to read UA-cam analytics. Mainly learn click-through rate, watch time, and average percentage viewed. Once again - UA-cam tutorials. You must be willing to commit for 1 year before you see any significant results
Focus on making good quality videos, above all. It's better to spend 10 hours researching and crafting a video that you're really interested in, than to spend that time figuring out how to make clickable thumbnails for a video that you don't really believe in.
The opening preview at the start of the video is a bit overhyped, too much hot air and bullshit bravado. It’s a complete mismatch from the minimalistic podcast setting and the laidback atmosphere of the actual discussion. The gap between the “announcer voice” and the in-person interview voice was pretty noticeable. The host sounds pretentious and is pretty weak in terms of charisma, flow, and overall eloquence. He fumbles over words and mushes them together. Also he can’t really banter at 2:24 11:13 uses a lot of flowery language to just say “the theories in school never helped me change” 11:44 “What was prompting that decision for you?” should just be “What prompted you?” There isn’t really an overarching direction between questions and the host’s follow up comments feel hastily attached and disjointed. Example being 19:24 This definitely feels like the member of a more established business/management service breaking into the podcasting scene. I could pick out more things, to the benefit of this video creator. Overall, this video was really hard to watch. Level up your speech skills.
I do see that too, I think part of the reason for that might have been he was trying to connect what Dr. K is saying to what Eric learned through life and school. (I think this because this is what I tend to do too.) Active listening is hard. 😂
I think the western view of detachment often gets mixed up with concepts like contentment or happiness. Like "What do you want?" should also be the first question. The next one is "Why?". Wanting a Corvette and spending tons of money to get people's approval to hopefully get a girl and your friends to like you is one thing. But planning to get a Corvette because it gives you good memories of your dad and wanting to pass those memories on to your future family is way different. Wanting is not the enemy - looking for what you want in the wrong places is i.e. if your friends or a girl mainly like you conditionally you are gonna have a hard time feeling genuinely loved
setting the record straight 43:26 -- it was totally a date - kruti
Dr K’s killer pickup line - “do you eat food, ever? Would you like to eat together then??” 🧐
You heard it from the boss it charge 😂😂😂
i love that in every video that the topic gets to the day the go out, this comment always shows up LMAOOO
Any interview with Dr. K is automatically going to be gold. Idk why ppl are surprised at how good the interview was. THEYRE ALL GOOD LOL
Yes- he’s such a profound thinker and articulates his thoughts so crisply
Yes but this one's specifically good cuz the host is able to hold these conversations on equal footing and adding great insights. Props to him.
I loved hearing the full monk story. This was a great interview.
Thank you!
I don't understand how this doesn't have more views! This was an absolute gem of an interview, Dr.K shared some very enlightning insights and the dynamic here was amazing
Thank you 🥰
Prolly will get more in the future. And Dr. K in the title or smth will probably generate more also.
Timestamp: 28:39 "There are people who have the ego of having no ego." Mind blown by subtle truth bomb. Bruuuhhhhhh.
That might be me, how do i let that go bruh

Long time HG watcher, I love the questions you're asking Dr. K! great stuff
Awww thank you so much!

It is *so* worth remembering how to hold onto the spirit of childhood 🥰 thanks for watching
I’ve been watching Dr.K for years but I’ve never heard him give details about his experience in India. Thanks for the vid
Dr K is the man! Thank you guys for having him on 😁
Quack and a charlatan leading people away from medicine.
Probably the best Karat interview yet, I'd love to hear more conversations between you both 😎
Awwww thank you!!
Thank you for interviewing him! Dr. K has been a huge inspiration in my life and it’s so cool to see his perspective on life.
I love Dr. K. He is such a light in the world with such unique and powerful past experiences. What a perfect blend of Western medicine mixed with philosophy, culture, and relevant culture.

super enjoyable conversation to listen in on! came here for the Dr. K stuff but I'm looking forward to checking out other interviews 🙏🙏

41:32 love the way dr k worded this about content creator focus
Yes! He’s so thoughtful how he weaves together mental health theory and real life examples
So lovely, I can't believe it was almost an hour, it felt like 20 minutes. I hope y'all talk again. 😊💕

Consciousness is physio-psychological
the intense intro music is too much 😭 i thought karat had a chill vibe
We do have a chill vibe haha- will look into changing how we edit the intro!
So the mind is fractal and so trying to understand it in some ways is like counting digits of pi
