@@Thecowthatcould55 Well,they'll have to find out the *meaning* on their own. I guess you could say that the meaning *is a jumper that you have to knit yourself*
This is just my 2 cents, but I think the tricky thing for most of us is grappling with the idea that meaning and inspiration are deeply intrinsic and spontaneous, but you are 100% responsible for creating the circumstances where you'll experience them. Most people stumble their way into something motivating by chance, like meeting their SO at a party; someone at work invites them rock climbing and they love it; or getting into an actually enjoyable career because their parents made them do the degree, but if you're waiting for those things to happen I really think it's a defensive/losing play. I think the most practical thing you can do is deciding to take the initiative/responsibility and invite your friends out to try new things, do a hobby alone, host a party, travel, watch/listen to inspirational people at the top of a field to see where you'd like to be, really just taste things that might grip you, and then once you see something bigger down the line, it's just a matter of figuring out how to progress there and that's meaningful. Even if you're paralyzed by choice, then tell yourself you'll try something just to prove it's not the right thing to do.
Casually Explained I agree. Nearly all depressed people I have tried to help have always accepted this "I'll wait until something happens." approach. It's really difficult to convince them to go out of their way to try new things, but I know personally it's done wonders for me.

M1FF3D what the hell gives you a existential crisis. PLZ stop talking shit, it's not funny if you post something like this under a video that doesn't give you a existential crisis.
"An existential crisis is a moment at which an individual questions if their life has meaning, purpose, or value" The video is mainly about the meaning of life, seems to match the definition pretty well. Also, it's a sort of running joke on the channel so really if you don't find it funny don't bother responding.

That's it. I'm gonna do it bois. I'm going to fulfil my lifelong ambition of becoming the worlds most notorious mass murderer. Thank you exurb1a for giving me the push I didn't know I needed.
Self-defined meaning is problematic especially if you are being untrue to yourself. We have, within us, traces of millions and millions of years of wisdom and to end up interpreting that in a very rash way is an insult to Being.
I'm 74, here's the secret. Life has no meaning for you anymore than the life of fly has meaning. The Cosmos doesn't care about either of you. Lower your expectations and just go get an ice cream. I like to think about James, he mended shoes in London in the 15th Century. Surely he was real or if not someone much like him. The mender of shoes is gone now. I hope he enjoyed something, maybe bread when it was nice and warm. I hope he had expectations that allowed him to enjoy something. Life is what it is and it most definitely isn't about me, James or you.
I don't believe this actually, but I respect your thoughts and please pass on your thoughts and experiences to young people( as you're doing now ). Thank you.
"The Cosmos" is not a person that can, as it were, choose to care about anyone or anything, lol, so that's a bit of an odd thing to say Edit: what I am trying to say, from an an analytical point of view, your statements are hollow And always be wary of people like Mr. Wee Aboo in this comment section who claim to know "THE TRUTH" whatever that may be
Our lives our sad and useless, yes, but we can fuck about and do stuff we think are important to make ourselves feel better. If devoting your life to making the perfect omelette and it makes you happy, just do it. Not much else to feel anyway
i love the quote said by mr peanutbutter wich kinda inspired by albert camus "The universe is a cruel, uncaring void. The key to being happy isn't a search for meaning. It's to keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually you'll be dead."
Depends on what you personally define as important; if spending the entirety if your life carrying out 'unimportant nonsense' is what feels like the right thing to do, keep calm and carry on. If you want to devote your life to achieving some grand future goal; do just that. From an outside perspective, there is no importance behind anything that exists, because why should there be? However within the intricacies of our species, there is no time for such a view; otherwise you'd probably end up suicidal. Yet for every individual; there would appear to be meaning behind our unique and personal constructs; such as sociality, work, love, health, materialism and money; all of which are important factors amounting to our overall sense of happiness. What I'm trying to say is that in the grand scheme of the Universe; life is insignificant, however for each and every individual; their sense of purpose, and the fulfilment thereof, is entirely dependant on whatever ethos which they do so wish to follow.
Tom PAC why would you feel like that? For me it is the opposite. It is basically saying to stop worrying about things you can't control and enjoy your life while you can. If life has no purpose and there is nothing when you are not alive, wouldn't you want to spend your life living and experiencing things? Not sure if what I am saying quite getting across what I mean 😅
This video introduced me to Frankl and the rest of the existential philosophers, and basically started me on the path of overcoming my nihilism and formulating my own meaning and purpose in life. It's been a couple years, so I'm just here to say: big thanks, depression turtle.
Honestly, I went into this video expecting it to be either stupid or comedic, but it was unexpectedly comedic and meaningful. Had no idea what this channel is, but now I find myself subscribing.

Viktor Frankl also said “When a person can’t find a deep sense of meaning, they distract themselves with pleasure.” Humans, have, over the past thousand or so years been up to a great deal of technological advancement, societal development, and adaptation. Our history, really, is a testament to each person's drive to seek meaning. Because each persons drive for meaning follows them down a different path, human development was driven by the crossings of, and interactions between, these paths. Humans have become incredibly good at distracting ourselves with pleasure. Even in times of war and strife, we still look to outlets for pleasure: music, art, writing, VR hyper-porn, etc... I think existence like a pendulum, a sinusoidal cycle of our drive to carve out meaning and our drive for short term pleasure. Each persons' cyclical rate may be a bit different, but over all most people cycle between "Wanting happiness" and "Wanting meaning". Often times one will find happiness in their search for meaning, sure, but that pang of existential angst occurs when we don't. We look to pleasure, 'distraction' as Frankl put it, to assuage that feeling.
Caleb Andrews The difference between a master and a slave, the overman and the last man is one lives to make something great and the other lives to pleasure himself and shit on what the masters create
The masters are creators now are they? You should take a look at the leaders of the world, I doubt many have created or invented much of anything that has helped humanity, other than them having a huge personal ego to demand and posses whatever they choose like a child that has never been told no, with a following of slaves to worship and provide for their every move regardless of their worthiness or reason. If anything the masters we follow are the epitome of laziness and contempt, but humans are a fearful species, give us a god, a celebrity or a self obsessed loudmouth and we will worship them and hang on to every word to give us a tribe and something to believe in. We are victims of our masters but even as slaves we can still change the world, asking for permission first however from the masters is the wrong idea, they will always say no to just trust in the old ways and keep faith, in order to keep themselves in power and respect whilst holding the people back and keeping us as slaves to there bidding.
cattysplat Not all leaders are masters Some are just popular sheep among the flock Ie democracy. The sheep can’t choose their shepherd. A master is merely a man with a vision and the discipline to do what is necessary and endure great suffering to carry out that vision. Master mortality (strength, pride, wisdom, distinguishable, noble) Slave morality ( meekness, common, charitable) Power is what is, religion, governments, circuses, etc are just tools of power
My father died of corona on April 15th. I've struggled to find any meaning in life since. Every day is a challenge to exist without him. But your videos are bringing new life, new color into a world where the color was stripped. Your videos are showing me the true beauty of life. Relighting the spark for existence that was once lost from me. Thank you.
I think that what we are truly seeking is not a sense of purpose or meaning, but rather something that is worth living for, that you love more than anything.

I love to watch nature. I can sit there and admire it. The feeling of the wind on my skin. The warmth of the sun and the sound of the birds. It's so peaceful and often all I need. Try it some time :)
until a bird shits on you and you swallow it, then trying to frantically clean yourself off, then you trip on a twig and slip in mud and fall down a hillside in a forest with pricks of godknowswhat everywhere in your skin. Then as you get up and try to breathe the calming air and feel the sunset, some insane bacteria hops up through your nasal cavity and gives you a debilitating neurological disease
I thought of doing the same thing many times before but never got to it as I have many things to do every day.But would love to do it sometimes because I really need some peace and quiet sometimes. I also dowel in art so I can combine that just to find some time.
This, but "everything you can do in a game" is also simultaneously defined by not having access to like 99.9% of the content because of a paywall. And the most efficient way to grind for in game currency is a daily 8 hour quick time event that never changes.
I would summarize it as "just live". People need to understand that absolute security does not exist. Just do it. Go out. Try things. Be confident in the job and if it's shit, go away. That's easier said than done. I know that very well. But it is like that. And just understand that "life" is not just pleasant. That happiness grows out of the diversity of emotions. I just do not like the term "meaning" very much. That's a distraction. People are ridiculously rewarded by their brain for pattern recognition. That's why we even see patterns where there are none. For example, in the stars or in conspiracy theories. This has evolved because pattern recognition is very, very important to us. Those who can read the tracks do not run into a pack of lions. Anyone who recognizes patterns finds prey, finds food, water, other tribes. Can estimate the time until sunset. Can foresee the weather to a limited extent. Can judge a friend or an enemy because of his behavior. And that's how we look for a pattern, in our lives and in the whole universe. We want to fit in somewhere. We want it to make sense somehow and we recognize the pattern. But the pattern is not there in reality. The way is the goal. Just live.

M1FF3D what the hell gives you a existential crisis. PLZ stop talking shit, it's not funny if you post something like this under a video that doesn't give you a existential crisis.
"An existential crisis is a moment at which an individual questions if their life has meaning, purpose, or value"
The video is mainly about the meaning of life, seems to match the definition pretty well.
Also, it's a sort of running joke on the channel so really if you don't find it funny don't bother responding.
To me this video does the opposite
M1FF3D It is not funny under something that doesn't fit very well in the very context that it was funny in.

Lower your expectations and just go get an ice cream.
I like to think about James, he mended shoes in London in the 15th Century.
Surely he was real or if not someone much like him.
The mender of shoes is gone now.
I hope he enjoyed something, maybe bread when it was nice and warm.
I hope he had expectations that allowed him to enjoy something.
Life is what it is and it most definitely isn't about me, James or you.
Thank you for that, you are definitely right
I love that.
I don't believe this actually, but I respect your thoughts and please pass on your thoughts and experiences to young people( as you're doing now ).

i love the quote said by mr peanutbutter wich kinda inspired by albert camus
"The universe is a cruel, uncaring void. The key to being happy isn't a search for meaning. It's to keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually you'll be dead."
I mean that's good for sounding edgy, but it's the total opposite in perspective to what would encourage you to find something meaningful.
That doesn't mean it isn't what most people end up doing.
That's not camus, that's full Pascal
Avicenna what if the search for meaning is making me edgy?
Depends on what you personally define as important; if spending the entirety if your life carrying out 'unimportant nonsense' is what feels like the right thing to do, keep calm and carry on. If you want to devote your life to achieving some grand future goal; do just that. From an outside perspective, there is no importance behind anything that exists, because why should there be? However within the intricacies of our species, there is no time for such a view; otherwise you'd probably end up suicidal. Yet for every individual; there would appear to be meaning behind our unique and personal constructs; such as sociality, work, love, health, materialism and money; all of which are important factors amounting to our overall sense of happiness. What I'm trying to say is that in the grand scheme of the Universe; life is insignificant, however for each and every individual; their sense of purpose, and the fulfilment thereof, is entirely dependant on whatever ethos which they do so wish to follow.

Was looking for this comment, wondering if someone else was thinking of this too? 😅
I don’t like the way that quote is structured. It puts the idea in my head that I might as well kill myself every time I hear it.
Tom PAC why would you feel like that? For me it is the opposite. It is basically saying to stop worrying about things you can't control and enjoy your life while you can. If life has no purpose and there is nothing when you are not alive, wouldn't you want to spend your life living and experiencing things? Not sure if what I am saying quite getting across what I mean 😅
Your IQ must be extremely high. By any chance, do you snort any Jordan Peterson and wash your peepee?

Viktor Frankl also said “When a person can’t find a deep sense of meaning, they distract themselves with pleasure.” Humans, have, over the past thousand or so years been up to a great deal of technological advancement, societal development, and adaptation. Our history, really, is a testament to each person's drive to seek meaning. Because each persons drive for meaning follows them down a different path, human development was driven by the crossings of, and interactions between, these paths.
Humans have become incredibly good at distracting ourselves with pleasure. Even in times of war and strife, we still look to outlets for pleasure: music, art, writing, VR hyper-porn, etc... I think existence like a pendulum, a sinusoidal cycle of our drive to carve out meaning and our drive for short term pleasure. Each persons' cyclical rate may be a bit different, but over all most people cycle between "Wanting happiness" and "Wanting meaning". Often times one will find happiness in their search for meaning, sure, but that pang of existential angst occurs when we don't. We look to pleasure, 'distraction' as Frankl put it, to assuage that feeling.
Caleb Andrews
The difference between a master and a slave, the overman and the last man is one lives to make something great and the other lives to pleasure himself and shit on what the masters create
Mats Martensson
MEANing
The masters are creators now are they? You should take a look at the leaders of the world, I doubt many have created or invented much of anything that has helped humanity, other than them having a huge personal ego to demand and posses whatever they choose like a child that has never been told no, with a following of slaves to worship and provide for their every move regardless of their worthiness or reason. If anything the masters we follow are the epitome of laziness and contempt, but humans are a fearful species, give us a god, a celebrity or a self obsessed loudmouth and we will worship them and hang on to every word to give us a tribe and something to believe in. We are victims of our masters but even as slaves we can still change the world, asking for permission first however from the masters is the wrong idea, they will always say no to just trust in the old ways and keep faith, in order to keep themselves in power and respect whilst holding the people back and keeping us as slaves to there bidding.
cattysplat
Not all leaders are masters
Some are just popular sheep among the flock
Ie democracy. The sheep can’t choose their shepherd.
A master is merely a man with a vision and the discipline to do what is necessary and endure great suffering to carry out that vision.
Master mortality (strength, pride, wisdom, distinguishable, noble)
Slave morality ( meekness, common, charitable)
Power is what is, religion, governments, circuses, etc are just tools of power
My father died of corona on April 15th. I've struggled to find any meaning in life since. Every day is a challenge to exist without him.

I just wish I didn't live in a city so I could do it more
until a bird shits on you and you swallow it, then trying to frantically clean yourself off, then you trip on a twig and slip in mud and fall down a hillside in a forest with pricks of godknowswhat everywhere in your skin.

yeah but to be honest it's "a spanish knight kill windmill" kind of world
I come back to this video every few months or years when i'm in a rough spot and it always helps pick me up. Thank you.
I would summarize it as "just live". People need to understand that absolute security does not exist. Just do it. Go out. Try things. Be confident in the job and if it's shit, go away. That's easier said than done. I know that very well. But it is like that. And just understand that "life" is not just pleasant. That happiness grows out of the diversity of emotions.
I just do not like the term "meaning" very much. That's a distraction.
People are ridiculously rewarded by their brain for pattern recognition. That's why we even see patterns where there are none. For example, in the stars or in conspiracy theories.
This has evolved because pattern recognition is very, very important to us. Those who can read the tracks do not run into a pack of lions. Anyone who recognizes patterns finds prey, finds food, water, other tribes. Can estimate the time until sunset. Can foresee the weather to a limited extent. Can judge a friend or an enemy because of his behavior.
And that's how we look for a pattern, in our lives and in the whole universe. We want to fit in somewhere. We want it to make sense somehow and we recognize the pattern.
But the pattern is not there in reality. The way is the goal. Just live.
Mats Martensson meaning is a myth. It's a man made illusion. And i mean star constelations like the twins, or the arrow. Thats just things we see. Which are very important for people but just made up. Just enjoy the ride. Don't wait for the touch of the holy ghost or some nonsense
