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.
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.
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 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
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 😭😂
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 😊
@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!! 💗
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.....
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
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.
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
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!
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
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 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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
i wanna point out something: It's hard to just be yourself when you've been gaslighted your whole life by people telling you that your authentic self is foul. If thats your situation, recognize your worth and recognize the lies you got told. You got this
A cool idea for another series for you would be "Greatest Fictional Philosophers/Philosophies" or something of the sort. You could go in depth of the mindset of characters, as examples, like Loki, or maybe institutions like Big Brother. Im just shooting shit out my ass, but take the idea if you want lol.
I live by the maxim "allegro ma non troppo" (cheerful but not too much). There is actually Beethoven symphony by that name but I prefer Vivaldi's Four Seasons. There also an Italian animated film called Allegro Non Troppo (Not Too Cheerful) that is worth watching if you get a chance. Anyway great video essay.
All people do is compare each other as if they were objects. People strive to be like others to be accepted instead of having individuality. No wonder nobody wants to be themselves.
I wish I could be more like Zorba, but I am far too anxious and reserved right now for that. It feels like something hangs over me constantly and doesn't allow my spontaneity to express itself.

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

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.
Thank you as always
My favorite UA-cam channel 🙌🏻
really enjoyed this one, thank you
Yo soy porteño posta y me sorprendio saber que viniste loco, haces un contenido muy lindo :)
Me emociona mucho cuando la gente demuestra interés por aprender español 😭💞💞 es un idioma muy padre
Si
I haven’t gone mad since childhood and should really put aside some time to.
Sometimes you have to be mad in order to be brilliant.
I live by the maxim "allegro ma non troppo" (cheerful but not too much). There is actually Beethoven symphony by that name but I prefer Vivaldi's Four Seasons. There also an Italian animated film called Allegro Non Troppo (Not Too Cheerful) that is worth watching if you get a chance. Anyway great video essay.
Thank you for giving purpose to the little things
All people do is compare each other as if they were objects. People strive to be like others to be accepted instead of having individuality. No wonder nobody wants to be themselves.
You're doing good, Sisyphus. Keep it up.
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!
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
Nicely done.
We could all use a simple frugal heart, imho...
me causó el "soy porteño". muy buen video
Your videos always give me a refreshing and insightful outlook on life. Thank you
To whoever keeps posting SponsorBlock segments on these videos 10 seconds after upload, I will find you and I will thank you.
Thanks for this - I really needed that book suggestion actually. Loading it on my kobo now.
Ζορμπάς once said to Καζαντζάκης, when asked about death and how it terrifies the author
fun fact: "zorba" means bully in turkish
4:26 “these are all moments”
I always look forward to your videos
This is just what i needed to hear
IN THE FACE OF DEATH, MADNESS LOOKS PRETTY SANE.
We want posters on the store
Beautiful absolutely beautiful
I wish I could be more like Zorba, but I am far too anxious and reserved right now for that. It feels like something hangs over me constantly and doesn't allow my spontaneity to express itself.
