I remember being in Greece during their economic crash, at a tavern in Piraeus waiting for an early ferry. People who obviously had a lot of stress and worries were dancing, drinking and just generally purging themselves of their difficulties, and it was people of all ages and abilities. Some of the oldest in the crowd were the wildest dancers.
Wild. Some of the most interesting and free form people I’ve ever met were from Greece. I wonder what it is about the country that makes trying to live life so easy.
@@sungross we have the beach very accessible.. oh also we love drinking lol.
@@sungross oh also "makes trying to live so easy" might be true if you've come here for vacation. but if you live here, it's really not the case. we're just as confused as everyone else, if not more. we have a prime minister that literally no one likes, plus our country is being devastated by fires. but there's alcohol for now
@@patrikfrroku7215 Same goes for the rest of the Balkan. Greetings from your northern neighbor that has a controversial name, North Macedonia.
@@DacLMK well I live in Greece but am a child of Albanian imigrants, so I've actually not bothered to care about the Macedonia controversy at all
"In the face of death, madness begins to look pretty sane"
normality is a spectrum in my opinion mainly due to the fact within a adnormal situation people tend to apply an adnormal outcome to get out of said situation or like how after enough trauma within life your strong stimuli start firing at the smallest endeavors within your day to day life but due to the strong stimuli being wasted on a small stressor continuously your brain starts firing the weak stimuli to do the strong stimuli's job hence why big events tend not to affect many with trauma but they could say they're having the worst day they've ever experienced because some didn't wave back at them.
@@grimmymarigoldsandwendigos47 everything is a spectrum.
@@piine2361 of course
Lmao all you depressed phliosophers. When your happy, you do not think of death, nor do you think of life, neither of these exist beyond illusions in your mind. No when your truely happy, and truely spontanious, you dont think at all, you just live, and if you die so be it. and thats that.
@@thegrandnil764 As if trying to find that is something to scoff at. Sorry we can't all be as enlightened as you and have to work to try and find it.
You've really carved out your own lane with these videos. It's like philosophy with a lofi aesthetic. Well done, enjoyed the video as always

@Cameron it’s a great word but overused. I’m guilty of it
@Cameron you don't hate the word aesthetic,you hate those cringy teens using it

The never ending internal struggle between seemingly beautiful ideology that is “expressing oneself in ones entirety” and the desire to live a life of continual growth that can only be achieved when humility and self-doubt are present
bro i understand where you're coming from. humility, selflessness and the likes..these 'great virtues'. i always question myself these days, its crippling. and i dont get recognition or validation because the wanting to be seen is being chipped too because well, narcissim is now highly judged and attacked. 😂 i am throwing all these terms here. they might invent another name sometime soon if their way to evolution does not really pan out well lol
@@jJust_NO_ lol I don’t even think most of us can keep up at this point. I’ve just accepted the feelings and try to move forward as best I can and try to be honest and transparent in my work that I’m a flawed person, while trying to keep the confidence to still do things and omg I’m spiraling 😭😂
Humility and self-doubt is not necessarily growth, self doubt can even be the most detrimental to your growth.
@@winzyl9546 idk but doubt in a sense of being a skeptic. my means of growth now is through critical thinking
@@jJust_NO_ also nothing wrong with wanting to be seen, but still you need to be seen doing something usefull or else the harsh judgement.
i’ve definitely struggled as a kid with anxiety, being compliant, not being myself around anyone and basically not doing anything i wanted. always been the quiet kid. but over the past while ive been trying to be more spontaneous and crazy. it’s so fun. my ego gets in the way a lot especially when it comes to my appearance and just how i act. but i’m slowly doing it more and more getting out of my comfort zone. it’s been so great. i think we all need to do that more often. whether it’s wearing a cool outfit, talking to someone new, going on a walk somewhere different than usual. it all really really helps me and my quality of life lol.
also if anyone’s got more advice on that type of stuff feel free to reply because i would appreciate it
I would just keep talking to as many different people as possible. I used to be very judgmental of others and in turn was very judgmental of myself, but when I started to realize that none of that mattered, and looked passed peoples’ appearances, and more-so at their personalities, it drastically improved my outlook on life. Hope this helps 😊
i like to explore knowledge of dr K
@myuh💖feyth🤍mah🧡seeuhs this, art is the truest and fullest way becoming completely at one and comfortable/accepting of yourself. It’s the one thing we have as humans that make us truly free
Have fun but don't be afraid of experiencing other emotions; in my case, it didn't help to have just fun cause I'm still getting used to expressing all of my emotions and being a more genuine person (and in the case of romance, you really can't just be a fun and aloof person)
@@theduckmage204 thank you so much for this! yeah i think that’s a good idea. it’s been really helpful lately for me to meet new people. im starting to realize how judgmental i am of others and my self. i guess i’ve been doing it to try and protect myself. but yeah thanks for this!! 💗
Everyone: be yourself
You: *bes yourself*
Everyone: not like that tho
Capitalist society's culture praises inhuman and unrealistic standards. It's cool to pretend to be something you're not. The ideal capitalist is supposed to be emotionless, never make mistakes, and have unattainable desires. If you show emotion, then you're making a scene. If you make a mistake, then you're the scapegoat for everyone's problems. If you're happy with minimal material, then you're laughable or insane. To be honest, human, and realistic is practically a crime
‘Be yourself’ exists as an empty platitude within language which you can decipher into a multitude of directions. One of the truest to me ‘I don’t know, figure it out for yourself, nerd.’ Reminds me of Zizek’s ‘I am generally opposed to wisdom’ bit.
I personally prefer the lines from Ghostemane ‘fuck what your friends say, fuck what the man says’ and MC Ride ‘be the freak that you wanna see just don’t follow me’ as simple phases in that line of thought go but I generally think about the life of Diogenes balanced with the thoughts of Marcus Aurelius to steer my ship.
@@justinbailey2347 I love that you quoted MC Ride
Absurd😊
Your content is beyond incredible right now. Each of these last 3 videos has had a huge impact on improving my quality of mind and has helped me reflect so much about who I want to be and who I have been. You do not miss king
Yeah the last 3 videos he’s made are golden, I hope he continues like this
Last 3 videos felt like I needed to hear/see them as I did and as though they were pulled from a journal while fascinating information was added in. Love this channel.
Now that I think about it, the last three videos are one of the most basic life lessons there is.
This was actually pretty calming and comforting. I’m also happy to find out I’m not the only one feeing these things. Thanks

It's kinda weird that I can closely relate to this. Since I quit my job months ago I've had the free time to explore whatever life throws at me. I've been climbing passionately, volunteering, paintballing, salsa dancing, and started going back to church. All things have lead me to meeting other people and adding some much needed value to my life. I whenever I mention these things to people they look at me exactly like I'm crazy.
That sounds totally rad. I really believe that what you described is what we should do with our lives, instead of living so uncurious and with lots of repetition. I really think people who you say looked at you crazy are the crazy ones.
You go bro, you accept free choice as it is
Good for you dude!! I hope to live like you
Taking a year off after Highschool was the best decision I’ve ever made. I’m so glad I was fortunate enough to have that opportunity
I want to do that when I graduate. School says "Go to college to get a stable job; then you'll be happy." For some, maybe, but I feel that is a human right to explore life and find one's true passions so as to not waste one's life away.
I really respect how you are improving the VHS style of this videos. It gives them a life of their own
I always wondered that I was so unique as a child and teenager, today I realise I was a Zorba, albeit unknowingly. I am pretty sure most of us were Zorba as children, so umm… no point made here, just… yeah
you make a good point - children are perhaps the most spontaneous humans to exist, but this is often later suppressed by parents and, cliche alert, society
Same
It's nice to see that you feel comfortable enough to share what comes up to your mind :)
Not at all for me. I'm definitely still very reserved now, but nowhere near as much as I was as a child. Adulthood affords you free time that, as a child, would have been consumed by homework and other school needs, but now is truly free to live life - if you're able to financially afford it (and able to get over your social anxieties, which this video does a great job of framing a necessary mentality to achieve).
@@zants_ huh that's odd, my family always says that by the time you are an adult all you're gonna have is work and work with a few spots of free time here and there, it's pretty sad when I look at it that way, really
Beautiful! "A simple, frugal heart"...this is what's real. The dancing & singing in public, throwing oneself in the ocean etcetera aren't what a reckless abandonment of unhappiness look like: it looks like whatever it means to you. It can look like allowing yourself to sleep 17 hours a day with zero guilt, or stopping to save a turtle even if you're interrupting traffic. It's the 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 part of it, if you're causing no harm (inconveniencing or annoying another person doesn't count--they need to learn that they are not especially entitled to existence). Your experience is yours, and another's is another's; if you are a madman to them, and they roll their eyes...you may consider them a bore, and roll your eyes in return...or you may feel a bigness of heart for them and say "namaste", & wish them a glimpse of nirvana.
All this coming from a girl who's gone literally mad--but it wasn't from embracing my Zorba, it was from suppressing it because others thought me too strange.
Holy, I'm considering this entire philosophy invalid now just because you think "namaste" means something other than hello. That's what it means, hello
@@charlieniven6558 Namaste!
how i wish i could fall in love with being alive again then i wouldn't have a difficult time being courageous.
The author of Zorba obviously found his inspiration when he ran into Camus while the latter was on an Ouzo bender in Greece. Ouzo - the ketamine of spirits.....
I thought of Camus here too. Zorba sounds like a kind of positive version of Meursault
Mans happy place is the whole universe. That’s how I want to live
I read "Zorba" at an extremely liminal moment, and couldn't put my finger on why I liked it so much. Think it's the immediacy, the urgency of engaging with and enjoying life as it is, right now, and seeing the people who are there right now with you.
i tend to take myself to seriously. thank you for this
shiiiieeeet I wanna explore latin america
its pretty cool here
@@abelperez1827 I’ve been leading Spanish to travel there but then COVID hit
Stay where you are
Pretty beautiful, just be careful around dangerous places.
no, it sucks here
Your timing is a little too perfect, i really needed this. I'm sure its sunk in yet but I'm struggling right now. I hope you enjoy your work and have a great day
Embracing your madness while making this channel was a very, very good decision. I love your channel and often rewatch your videos.
A great manga that embodies this sentiment is Aria. Making every single part of life seem beautiful and sinking into the moment :)
It’s ironic
I’m hated for embracing my eccentricities
But when I do, it likely makes me far happier than any of them
How did you actually take a break after highschool?, it is a geniunie question because im in uni right now and i cant even enjoy the brief summer break, feeling as if i still have to study or as if im not facing my responsabilities evenf if right now i have no such things
Yeah for most people it's being dumped out into Work or School or Both and doing that till we die. Else you starve or are homeless.
So as a person who dropped out, I just gonna say college or no college you are going to get where you want. But you ALWAYS have to make sure that you have fun whatever you do, all other things don't matter really :').
i got mine by suffering from a year of bad mental health and losing a lot of money lol
He wants to take a break why not, he has money from yt.
I feel this may help me finally solve a problem I've been experiencing for almost a year at this point.
I name music, mostly in Ableton Live but I also play bass guitar. It started about a year ago that I couldn't be satisfied with anything I made and I thought it was by default bad until I got to a largely detached final product, such was becoming increasingly rare. I'd show my music to others and they'd seem genuinely impressed by it, but I didn't feel it. It was because I couldn't let myself be insane when I made music. In order to make music you have to be mad, mad enough that you believe somebody could enjoy your music or even find meaning in it, usually meaning you never intended. You must be mad to believe it can be worthwhile, and in many ways you must be mad to enjoy music at all, because after all it's just noise, wiggly air. Why do you like it? You don't know and neither do I.
I‘ve been watching your videos for a while now. They are something I greatly enjoy. Though, I‘m only 15 so I‘m not understanding perfectly, still I feel like they had some sort of impact on my life. They‘ve pushed me a little closer to ridding myself of the plight that is my depression and chronic doing-of-nothing. These vids contain information, wisdom even that has helped me out in more than one way. So I just wanna tell you, thank you man for what you‘re doing. I hope you‘ll be making videos for a long time and that you‘ll find success in them.
I had had a bad day today and this..just lifted my spirits, thank you.
The shift in the content is remarkable... sending you lots of wishes and love ...we love ur work ❤️🎉
"live laugh love" - Zorba
Greetings from Argentina 💙, and thank you for this video it came at a perfect moment
Thank you so much for this, first thing I clicked on and the best choice to start the day with. Life is beautiful
Many people seek to be unique or different, but ultimately forget to be themselves.
Never be unique at the expense of authenticity.
Your channel is a blessing to the hearts and minds of mad people
I've been loving these uploads recently! Keep it up!
I love this channel. It’s like a warm cup of coffee to wake you up in the morning.
Your work may not be the most popular but just know your content is appreciated and helpful
I realized and felt something from this work of yours. Thank you
As always, you have made a high-quality video that kept me engaged and ponder upon things throughout the whole video. Cheers, and carry on!
There was madness in this short philosophical film. Thank you friend.
Your videos always give me a refreshing and insightful outlook on life. Thank you
I can't believe you talked about my favorite book
This video made me cry actual tears of joy. I really like the term "simple frugal heart"
I needed this. It's been a hard few days. Thank you.
I love how you talk and explain philosophy without ever being snob or disdainful!!
This definitely opened me up to trying new things.
edit: upon re-reading my comment I realized that it might come off as sarcastic on the internet. It was not sarcastic, I love all your videos... Uh. Ok. Keep it up!
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for this.
That was beautiful man. Thank you.
I hate how called out the intro makes me feel
i have an ignorant explanation to this, the primitive brain which is in control of our autonomous function like the 4fs is what we need to be happy. imagine being a child without yet the formulation of ego or societal structure.
superego then develops and that's when we learn to parent ourselves, to behave a certain way and get depresseeed in the making lolssss
I've always thought that when people lose their inner child is when they become lifeless and boring, and then realizing this they get depressed.
It's so sad that people look down upon playful and childish behavior once you're an adult.
We would just kill ourselves without the pirmitive brain, its the only thing preventing us from becoming truly nihilistic.
Congrats on 300k brother
Man.. i love watching your videos! Its amazing that all these people in the comments a relate and i am able to see their true minds. Life is just such a weird thing.
You know to be honest I don't care much for psychology but a lot of these older psychologist seem more like philosophers of theories than actual social scientists and that makes sense because it wasn't really considered anything more than a branch of philosophy. But your videos are actually pretty nice. I appreciate them and I especially like this so thank you
I love every video you make and even more because i know that every new video you post will be even better than the last one
The message in this video really hits home for me. And what a coincidence, my father was born in Buenos Aires.
really enjoyed this one, thank you
I really love the videos you put out. Thank you
I was the broken people pleaser type but then I dropped out of college and read the Tao te ching
Thanks for this - I really needed that book suggestion actually. Loading it on my kobo now.
Thank you as always
The first 20 second of this video hit way to close to home.
Same
Wind passes on me makes me feel better
There is some form of luck or something that causes me to see the exact video from you at the right time when I need a pep talk or need advice, thank you for that, thought it may not be your intention
Hey man love the videos and like the way you narrate and stuff. Much love
Gotta be one of the best videos form you, no cap
Animation upgrades, I dig it!
I just had a very painful breakup because I could not live life and enjoy the moment. Your content has always been very pertinent but this was very needed for me in this moment. Thank you.
I find so much solace in your videos
Good timing, I was just rewatching your Neitszche video after finally picking up Ecce Homo
5:04 "Indulge in amazing meals at weird hours" - it's 5 am and I'm eating chicken pot pie let's go
Sometimes I think how I never seem to run into another person that looks like me in the streets. I think that’s a good start.
4:26 “these are all moments”
Thank you for giving purpose to the little things
I love these types of videos
Thank you.
Thanks man!
This is just what i needed to hear
I always look forward to your videos
letting go of ego is the most difficult part
I really love this one
Thank you
Kinda reminds me of the Big Labowski with him bowling all the time and doing basically nowing else.
You're doing good, Sisyphus. Keep it up.
I've been doing this most of my life and all it gets me is being hated by everyone.
Just what I needed, ✨💯
Hey this is the book he was discussing on the podcast. Cool to see the implementation.
oh my god i am from buenos aires! im glad you really liked our country!
Courage AND Humility.
Thanks
Thank you for this video
thank you
Sometimes you have to be mad in order to be brilliant.
This is so good 😌
i do enjoy straving for insanity to expand my vision on the world and see make some basic daily stuff into something more enjoyable haha
Me encanta saber que uno de mis youtubers favoritos está aprendiendo mi idioma. ¡Saludos desde Mendoza, Argentina!
My favorite UA-cam channel 🙌🏻
Thanks sis
We want posters on the store
LISTEN TO THE AUDIOBOOK!
If you like audiobooks, the Zorba audiobook is briliant. Any time the reader does Zorba's voice, it puts a huge smile on my face. Even just the way he says the word "boss" paints such an endearing picture of an old man living his truest life!
