This video discusses how education and reckless political leaders have hampered you're ability to make money and wealth. You were meant to be poor. Through bad education, bad business mindsets, inflation, and money printing, the majority of people don't make the money, wealth and happiness they deserve. Instead our estates and property are no owned. We flock to bitcoins, Ethereum and cryptocurrencies and NFT's to escape inflation for a reason. The doomer meme is popular for a reason. You're investments will be ruined by inflation and keep you poor and unhappy. We are just in a rat race. So here's how you become rich and make money in 2022...

mr moon، have you ever researched about islam? your channel is special. you are talking about some special problems that only a minority will understand. these things you talk about have been propheciesed 1400 years ago by prophet Muhammad. its all about the dajjal and the yajooj and majooj (gog and Magog). im saying that learning about them will definitely unlock a new perspective.
thank you for the amazing work you are doing

More time on social media = More time feeling bad about myself and unmotivated
More time doing something creative that excites me = More time feeling good about myself and motivated
Honestly fuck the system we've been brought up in, let's do our own thing and actually enjoy our lives.
yeah
Indeed
I wish I could like this comment a thousand times. It's so true.
ye ye that does not buy food
Thank you wannabe life coach whom has said this on a social media platform
Money doesn't buy happiness, but it damn sure makes it easier to come by.
just remember to not cross line in your morality from point were is no coming back in pursuit of any of those
Money doesn't buy happiness was probably a phrase made up by a rich person to tell the poor people
if money isn't happiness, why don't they give it? after all, most of them do everything to get as much as money possible, and you're telling me they're not satisfied by it?
if money doesn't make you happy, give it to me then
It does buy happiness just not the same happiness you get from people etc
Money doesn't buy happiness but it damn sure buys you freedom. I realised this the day my father told me he won't give me money, and if I want food and shelter; i have to obey his rules. I still remember that day. Money means freedom and sadly, its the most important thing on planet earth!
THIS. Is the video I needed. I was born and raised in poverty like many. I'm only 20, but I spent my teens isolated due to my parents separating when I was 12. Ive sold weed on the streets from ages 18-19 and almost lost my life countless times. I am left with PTSD and emotional issues. I've grown mature enough to realize many of the issues I face in life are because of my own choices and actions. I have a strong love for marijuana and after I almost died in a car accident earlier this year (I ran a red light trying to rush to a $20 deal) I told myself I'm leaving all the tough guy shit alone. I lost many of great friends I grew up with to the street life. I am lucky to have an older brother who is into legit business. He put me on game, and taught me about business ownership, and offered to build my e-commerce site for free. I regret the times I spent up my whole paycheck on things I didn't need. I regret spending money because of my feelings! Ill be 21 in October and am opening my first business. This video was very inspirational and I found myself about to tear up throughout it. Thank you.
I’m glas everything got sorted out in the end. Feels like I am on square 1, all the time, ever since I got to the USA. My compulsive expenses in unnecesary stuff (buying with my feelings, too) was very detrimental. Life is changing now that I can save more money
Hope your business does well, never give up!
I would tell young people NOT to get pregnant, use daily birth control pills, controls, Mornign After pill each time after sex and also both get Tubal Ligation. Reject the evil system created by the Elite 'lee,ch es' and dont bring another child into poverty, or dreariness or a rigged exploitative freedomless system worldwide.
happy for you buddy. hows business going so far?
It's not just about being rich it's also about having an enriched life a valuable and memorable life.
Very much, making and maintaining memories that will b wit u till u die & not just the traumatic ones
Tell me how the fuck you're gonna live an enriched, valuable and memorable life when you're poor as fuck working 8 hours a day only to be paid the stagnating minimium wage.
Tell me.
@@TitaniumTronic I never said you had to be poor I just said that money isn't everything. If you're working 8 hrs a day unless you are making chump change your not poor. People have periods of time where they have to build success and work hard to make money.That's just how it is,but that doesn't mean you can't make friends or create long lasting relationships or have a preferred career. There are also people who don't mind living off very little. Don't wanna pay rent or don't wanna pay a mortgage ? Then live in a van and travel the country. It's all about perspective.
Money is just step one, unfortunately
Sounds like you grew up with a lil money
My father always says to me - “money doesn’t buy happiness, it just makes your misery more comfortable”
I recently graduated from a mid tier university and landed a great corporate job. I used to be all about making money and thought the rest would fall into place, but over the last two years I’ve decided money means nothing when you don’t have purpose. I feel a lot of young men in their 20s struggle with finding a purpose and so your point about schools not pushing people to pursue their passions really resonated with me. School curriculum in the UK is largely unchanged since the 1960s and so hasn’t evolved to the times. No wonder it is devoid of any meaning… thanks for your videos Moon!
Interesting how your father indoctrinated misery into your existence from a young age. Seems like you are on the path to proving him wrong.
Money doesn't buy happiness? You do realize its a lie the system has indoctrinated you and you parents to be happy with drudgery.
"you cant buy happiness, but you can buy guns and ammo and thats basically the same thing"

@@pavelmorozov6599 yep
To people struggling with money, it is happiness. Because happiness is just solving the problems around you.
Did my dad title this video

I took traditional schooling all the way up until the 'rona hit. I asked my parents if I could be homeschooled and I finally realized what a waste traditional school actually was. I had had a doodling habit in school and teachers have told me it's bad my whole life. I also took things apart a lot and re assembled them which multiple teachers told me was bad if I mentioned it in class. Many people who are happy and successful that I know didn't even finish high school. After I left school to be homeschooled, I had a lot more time to learn and study things I loved to do such as mechanical work on cars and engines and art. I knew nothing about cars and after leaving traditional school, I can now diagnose issues with cars with ease and now I plan on skipping college and pursuing a career as a comic artist or a mechanic. Not only all that, but I am much more content and happy with who I am and know that I just have to do what I love. I can see a very bright future ahead of me that would have seemed impossible when I was in school.
I've always believed that "If I don't know how something works, I don't deserve to use it." And while that mindset doesn't actually prompt me to try and know how literally everything works, it does make me wanna appreciate the things I commonly use, all the more.
Those habits of yours that people are telling you are bad? Keep going at it! You deserve to grow and learn your own way. "Never settle for less", my dad would always say. And while he sometimes uses that to contradict literally what I want to become in the future (that is to be a professional IT specialist/repairman and a famous UA-camr and streamer), I still keep those words in my heart and it always encourages me to go big, while taking it one step at a time.
You have already done something remarkable.
You made it to today.
And you have the right to share that remarkable with anyone you chose.
You can be kind to someone you don't even know by offering them a smile or holding a door open for them.
You can love yourself by putting the phone in it's holder and looking in peoples faces and seeing them again.
I assure you.
That's a beautful thing.
You can allow yourself to be scared and thrilled at the same time by talking to people face to face instead of through a keyboard.
And these things have never hated you.
The sunshine.
The clouds.the rain.
the ground.the trees.
The birds.
Life does not hate you.
Life challenges you.
To keep seeing how wonderful you and all the life around you is.
No money can quantify how beautiful you are and how much love there really is here.
And all you have to do is open you eyes and your mind to see it.
To not allow the teachings of this society to close your eyes and your mind to all of that beauty,to all of that love.
That passport to freedom is free.
It is inside of you right now as you read this.
All you need to do is act on it.
The beauty is as close as you are right now.
Look in the mirror at that person and say I love you.
And strive to say,I will not fail you.
And realize that this whole world is a place filled with mirrors that only need the bright sunlight of the love in your spirit to see and say the same.
You are not alone.
I am not alone.We have never been alone,
Together we can make this place a much better place to live.
and that all starts with seeing the love in us and those around us.
And this effort is truly the most remarkable thing you did today.
You saw how remarkable you are and how remarkable you can be and nobody can stop you now.
See the love around you and simply let your soul exprience asnd share that love with others.
And in the simplest gestures of kindness and the remembrance of others,is the seismic wave to change in our world.
It is the simplest daily kindnesses that change the world.
And you.
Are you about to change the world.
You are remarkable.
This is a great video! Whenever I’m not in at school I have this urge to succeed and surpass my own expectations of myself. School crushes children’s dreams, and it stops them from being their greatest selves.
The US and many other school systems are destroying society. School was made and based to train factory and assembly line workers.

It was only after I finished school and had enough money to get by (enough for small savings, living expenses, and some expendable income) that I found my true passions. You're lucky to know what drives you now, embrace it.

Hi moon. I’m 16, and I just dropped out of highschool to run my grandfather’s farm who passed away 3 days ago, and to pursue my dream of becoming a filmmaker. Your videos have really helped me shy away from toxic relationships with people who waste my time and their own, and you’ve helped motivate me to reconnect with my family and be more invested in the work I do. I come back to your videos whenever I think, “maybe I should just finish school and get a diploma. It might help.” But obviously, it won’t. Thank you so much for being based af, I hope you’re doing well.
I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather's passing. I hope everything goes well and remember to never give up your dream.
If you're running a farm at 16 you have a promising life ahead.
You’re doing good bro, you have a farm (property) and you’re a free thinker, these qualities alone will help you navigate your life without being under the boots of the elite and the mindless masses. If you feel a diploma is not right for you, then don’t bother with it. If you have the talent to be a filmmaker, you will make it regardless of your diploma.
Same bro my dream is to become a filmmaker too, keep at it man, you got this!
Hello kiddo. An idea for you - record your work. Show how you learn work/life step by step (a lot of man will watch your videos). Older you get more you understand the value of independence. You can simply supplement your income with UA-cam. After 15 years in the corporate world like me, many man dreams of your opportunity. Set up donations Greetings from Eastern Europe. Stay free.
This takes me back to when I was in middle school, my teacher asked us to write about how we felt towards the schooling system. I still remember writing about how school doesn’t teach anything serious that couldn’t be taught at home. That parents would be able to teach children much more about life than school could with all of the hours children invest in. I remember how stupid I felt when discussion started and I was just ignored like if I had dumb point of view.
You are very smart , people hate truth because it's uncomfortable and brutal especially your teacher since that would mean they are kinda useless but never be discouraged continue standing out with your thinking cause trust me when you can't think for yourself and only follow other people depend on them for your choices then you loose your freedome of thinking and every decision you make yourself feels wrong and unsure so keep being the way you are
you aren't supposed to be handled everything you have to put your work
I’m watching this as a teen (14, to be specific). And honestly, when I see stuff like this, I’m pretty worried. I have nothing against your content, it’s informative but wow it is also brutal. I’m thinking my fun will be over before I know it, and yes. I think I do fall into the mindset of instant gratification you talk about. I do play video games and procrastinate on my work, and this is making me all the more worried for myself. I do know I could be screwed as an adult if I keep this attitude up, but I might be subconsciously pushing it back because “I still have a lot of time”. I know I won’t be a carefree little idiot forever, and hopefully I work my way out of this prison. I’ll be forced to, hopefully, if my ass resists. Because holy hell I might be fucked. Or we. God help us all.
I was 14 too watching and worrying about videos like this and now I’m 19 - and listen carefully to my advice! Stay positive and optimistic no matter what- the world wants you in a state of misery and fear but remember worrying doesn’t solve anything , it just ruins the present! STUDY WELL! study hard in a good field that will pay well! And enjoy everyday!!❤
You are very aware for 14 years old. I am 32, I don't know if you will read this. But I can tell you, money alone won't make you happy. Of course you need money to survive, but true happiness doesn’t come from wealth. Find a job, where you don't have to work your life away but still make a bit of money. And go out, meet people, find your passion, find a partner that loves you, make children and enjoy the simple things in life. At the end of it all, your memories won't be how much money you made. Your memories will be your first kiss, your wife, your children, your friends, how much joy your passion brought you. Stay strong.
Give it 2 yrs and ur a phylosopher my g like some of us lol
I've seen a lot of it since around 11-12 yrs old, not of need but for interest. Its prolly the only form of power ill ever get. Took away some yrs of childhood but I cant rly miss what I never had. Also its real fun watching rly dumb "fights" in school when you know wassup. Tho its anoying when you realize that you have been indulging in a bad habbit for a while without noticing sooner. Oh well. Damn I love rambling into the cold space which is the internet when nobody asks for it.
Compensation: here is a like
I feel you man. I know exactly how I can get out of the rat race, and I should do it now as I am young. But it seems like everything is working agaianst me. Sleep, work, school, parents, "friends" I get terrible sleep because I stay up on my phone. School has been better to me than most (only 200 kids, good teachers) but it is exhausting, and doesn't give me any motivation to excel, just to "pass" My parents want the best for me, and try to push me, but not regularly enough to make a difference. I just want to push a button that will give me 10 acres and a wife and 3 million dollars.

@@lapayne6156 any group battling against this has had to deal with the worst type of defamation of character from people claiming to desire "freedom and liberty" so it's near impossible now.

This is literally happening what Sombart predicted as "late stage capitalism"
This type of video is good because it gives you the option to open your eyes, so do it! Put your phone down and chase those dreams, go after those things you want to before its too late! I am trying to limit my time on social media to little to none, but I am glad I came across this comment. Please, let's make a change before it's too late, idk about you but I sure as hell am tired of being broke.
yeah i dont understand the dissonance here. It ends up being more demoralizing than anything else lmao
I find them discomforting and thought provoking
I really liked what you said about the school system. I've noticed from a personal experience that when I went to a monasoary and private school I had much better grades and much higher interest in the subjects being taught. I was conditioned to be disciplined. Then I went to a public school. There were almost no rules or reinforcement of rules. Subjects (except for most AP classes) were extremely mundane and useless. I couldn't specialize as much in the public school and ended up finding much of it boring and repetitive.
Same. And being looked in a room trying to learn useless bs was really mind numbing I wanted jump out the window
niice
Private high school is the same. It's not about public or private but the school itself. Gotta do research before picking a school
@Buildtales they’re both seats for indoctrination meant to pump out drones for the elite, my grades were also good in a private highschool but I was extremely miserable, they want to keep us down to ensure they’re at the top
That’s very interesting as someone who’s been studying at public schools for my entire life I’ve never seen the other side of education. But what I can say is that throughout public school out development was stumped by depressed teacher with no passion for their work, risks were seen as unnecessary, new interests were seen as a distraction and everyone played the victim card. The class division is a real thing and if we don’t wake up those of us who aren’t as lucky are going to end up miserable for the rest of our lives.
Been preaching this forever. I live on a small farm close to town, and from here, one can see clearly the madness of the cities and their systems. Nature will heal you, get out now before you're lost to the system. Make something for yourself. Be a professional and expert to what you enjoy.
Too bad and sad that too will one day die out if the higher ups do nothing about it
This is why people ask things like "what is the meaning of life" not knowing that there is no meaning and they should just try and enjoy it

Don't worry pal, everything's gonna be alright
I feel the exact same way, sh!thole of a job, bunking with my parents, almost 30. Crypto and lottery can only save me. Becoming rich is impossible.
I'm 16 and I'm currently pursuing computer science since I'm actually enjoying it. I have a lot of ambitions and in the future I will create my own tech company no matter what the struggle is. It might be a tough journey but I will make it. I have to escape this shitty reality and started to become the owner of my own life. When I'm getting old, I wanted to look back at my life and feel proud of it, not to be regret that I have done nothing valuable and worthless. Life is like a canvas, whether it is colorful or dull is because of your choice, so make it worth it. I hope you would have more motivation after this video. If you wanted to become more valuable in the company, you've gotta improve yourself, learn more skills and become more independent. Learn from the greatest and you will become success soon !
I feel exactly the same. I feel like even if things get better we will be a forgotten/lost generation.
I feel you bro. If it’s money you care about the most try to hustle in a different way. Cash cow channel, crypto, digital nomad jobs etc. there still options.
All my life I was brainwashed. When I left school, I realized the truth.
The rich don't want people. They want robots. They don't care about you.
But that's the genius of it.
If they don't care about you, they will never see your next move.
You can escape. You can destroy the locks and chains. And all you have to do is leave it.
Forget what you learnt in school. Learn the things that interest you.
Buy cheap and save.
Focus on your goals. Focus on your health.
You will get there. It will be tough, but the strongest people have the most scars.
I wanted to be an artist since I was little so I bided my time until I could quit school because I knew I didn't need it for what I wanted to do...I've been a well paid artist for 30 years now. I tell kids all the time "Don't let anybody decide for you, find out what it is that you love to do in this world and do it till your dead..."
inspiring, encouraging. Take care mate!
As an aspiring young artist, thank you for this!
That's awesome!

@@HeyMomonia it’s never too late. Even if you’re 80. Even if you’re 100. Live the life you want too. Find the balance. Do something special to you with your free time.
I always tell myself school doesn’t matter but I always find myself crawling back to the textbook because I’m afraid I’ll “fail my next exam.” Traditional schooling has indoctrinated me so much that I still feel like grades matter, when in the grand scheme of things they don’t. Connections matter. No teacher in school ever told me in school that I could drop out, get a high school diploma equivalent, and start a business. School never taught me how to build wealth, invest, and make connections like the elite do.
The way I see it there’s two paths, play the game and try (and probably fail) to join the elite, or return to a subsistence lifestyle that our ancestors once lived.
Same situation here brother
at least its better to crawl yourself and suffer through to at least pass the classes bare minimum. I don't even know if I'll do that though
they do
in the situation I'm in, they do matter. I need to be the top of my class to get to a good college. And I do believe school needs a lot of changing, but I do think a lot of subjects are fun and interesting. For example, at my school, we have a business class where we compete against other schools with our own business we created. We have a sports med class, welding, we have calculus BC which I love. I really enjoy school, but I do see a lot of flaws and things that need change up to before high school. However, I do still see changes needed in high school, they are very different than pre high school.
Well, if you wanna get into Harvard to become one of the elites yourself, then they actually do matter

I have been feeling, knowing and seen a lot of this, either personally (rarely), or seen it in others and general society (mostly other societies, I live in Scandinavia and this mainly targets viewers of the US and UK, maybe Europe but not Scandinavia.), for a long time. Now I know exactly what is wrong, thank you for putting it into words and pictures so clearly. I am lucky to live in a better country (where the only similarity is that my school life was exactly how you described it, luckily I am past it and now have a lot of available education and job opportunities) and sad that the vast majority suffer.
I'm 22, and I'm just tired. I'm not being overly dramatic when I say that I have gone through so much in my teens that by now I just want to live silently, work, and live a simple, but comfortable life. I don't want fame, I don't want to do anything remarkable, I just want to earn as much to not go without, to live rather comfortably.
My mom died when I was 14, my dad is physically disabled, I had to grow up fast at 13 when mom got sick, while most of my peers enjoyed their childhood and their teens for another 4-5 years. I was working through highschool to don't starve (did regardless), gone to community uni, while living on the bare minimum (I'm living in Europe) and now I just want some peace. I just want to live silently and don't go without. I'm tired.
Hope you do well mate....❤

I think that one of the most important things that leads to happiness is purpose. Whether that comes from faith or pursuing passions, it's important to have something in your life that you are working towards and leads you to feeling more complete.
And purpose is different for everyone. There is no wrong or right purpose to life.
I totally agree. Pursuits such as working towards my degree, learning how to create websites, writing a book, improving my body in the gym, even DIY projects during lockdown all gave me that purpose and direction. Even though they never brought great wealth or status, they have been among the happiest and fulfilling times of my life.
I'd say having a direction is more important. You can fail at your purpose and be unsatisfied but you will never be if you do while in the right direction.
@@Stinkholes the absolute key to happiness and the door that must be walked through in order to ever achieve it is deciding to truly love yourself. If you do not truly accept and love yourself it doesn't matter what you do in life you will never be happy.
I disagree, the most important thing that bring happiness is being able to fit in and be part of society, people that are excluded from society due to disability or being unattractive for example will get fucked up in the head real quick because they are alienated from their own species for life, they were doomed the day they were born and essentially live in a sort of hell with no escaping it other than suicide.
5:25 it says a lot about my personality that as soon as you said "you weren't supposed to be rich" immediately my brain responded "bitch I don't even care about money, but I'll get rich just to spite the people that expected mediocrity".
Immediately you tell me I'm not meant for something, I'm not good enough, etc and I get competitive. You tell me I'm supposed to pick something up easy and I'm just gonna get discouraged. So for instance your parent tells you that they moved out and had a house at 20, all that does is says "why can't you be like me, why can't you live up to my expectations, etc". Hell if they actually said that I think it would have a better effect, it might actually make you feel spurred to do something instead of just wanting to drown out your feelings in hedonism so that you don't have to address them.
We must remember thatmoney should not be our objective. There was once a man who didn't hold down a job. He worked at whatever job he could find as he needed to. He traveled the country with whatever could fit in his car. When his car broke down he continued on with whatever he could carry on his back. He traveled America doing things such as kayaking down the Grand Canyon, and was described as strange by all who recalled him. In the end he retreated out into the wilderness to try to make it by himself. He was never seen again. He died young, likey from starvation. Yet in those few years of his life he lived more I think than many of us ever will.
There is the wealth inequality, and also inter-generational inequality.
Beyond the trials that everyone not in the 1% elite faces, there is the added burden on those born in the post-Boomer generations that is often overlooked:
Toxic information overload and loss of privacy; erosion of wages and skyrocketing prices; the loss of traditional sources of happiness - family, community, religion/ideology.
It’s what characterises the Doomer philosophy, and is the defining aspect of our generation(s). We have also been uniquely screwed over during this pandemic in order to save the Boomers - any graduate starting off their career already buried in debt *and* missing the college experience itself due to remote learning/working knows this.
No amount of ‘pulling yourself up by the bootstraps’ makes up for the fact that we are in the worst time period for our age bracket since the Great Depression. You could call our experience the *Great Depreciation* - the collective loss of value.
Exactly what I've been thinking for a long time - our inability to reason (to find meaning). Previous generations like to point out that "we're not really depressed", but, oh my, how depressed we are. It's a depression of the mind, a suffocating inadequacy.
@Anon he was most likely referring to Christianity since its the mainstream religion of the West.
religion is a form of social control. It’s a way for powerful men to institutionalize spirituality.
Ever wonder how medieval kings were able to rule like tyrants without their people rebelling? It’s because they thought if they rebelled they’d be going against God. That’s the only reason why Christianity was so “popular” amongst elites, because by pretending to believe in it they could effectively do whatever they wanted.
@@jazaniac many Christan rulers, I'd go as far to say most weren't "pretending" to believe anything. They were just as indoctrinated as the general congregation. They believed that their right to rule was given by God. It wasn't "just" an instrument of social control it provided for people's spiritual needs, it answered that burning question of why that haunts human existence. That's a feeling of fullness that we are currently suffering from the absence of.

“Children left out completely catch up by college” as someone who was homeschooled and cheated, that makes sense. Thanks for that info.
I remember being told many things and got advice that back then sounded like it's not related to me.
For the most part, this was sound advice that I either should have followed or did follow and it worked.
There's one sentence though that I disagree with to this day - "You'll miss school when you grow up".
Nope. 12 years later, I am still VERY happy I'll never have to see this place again. I remember skipping months during high school because I hated it.
I still graduated well enough, and whatever knowledge I missed in school during those skipped months, I've obtained instead in what I love doing (electronics).
So all things considered, that was a good trade and it, high school especially, still feels to me like one of the most wasted periods of time in my life.
P.S I'm nowadays living all of my childhood dreams doing exactly what I love and for the company I love. As a matter of fact, on a personal level I feel like I'm being paid for doing my hobbies. That's a fantastic feeling.
I graduated from school feeling dumb and inferior to others. I loved art, but they didn't find value in that interest. Instead, those who are good in math and science were given more focus and applauded. So I began thinking I'm dumb. And I've carried that until adulthood. I never grew up.
I feel you. But we have the Internet and videos like this to remind us that we are not our past.
You can be smart whilst being into art; it wows people all the time, being able to decipher the messages of a century-or-more-old building based on the aesthetic language comported by ornament and style. When you, in your reveling of the arts, can walk into a neo-Romanesque building, and pick-up hints that Masonic architects left for astute observers to like you to pick-up, it really puts a twinkle in both your eyes and that of those who should happen to listen. I’ve lived in California since 2005, and have yet to encounter an individual that knows why California is personified as Minerva. Be that individual. Ask why things appear they are in an artistic sense.
Don’t be discourage; smart is a term applicable towards any individual in any field. Just be willing to supersede your expectations and encounter some challenges. All the best to ya buddy
Yeah. Its harsh being artistic and getting shutdown that early. I can relate.
I feel the same way. I didn't value the things i liked because there was no job to find for it.
I always loved nature, chara design, art, music etc.
I never developed those as skills because i was always led to believe that they were useless and i wouldn't find a job with it.
So here i am 26 with no skills, no drive, no job and barely anything that makes me happy.
The only thing that i was really lucky in life was my relationship with some family members and my friends. Never been lucky with girls though.
I don't know where i'm going with this. I don't even know what to do. I hate working it makes me want to die.
I'm not really suicidal but working makes me have those thoughts a lot of the times. Which is why i avoided working for so long.
I don't know what i should do. Maybe i should do youtube videos talking about random things about life and the struggles.
@bob dylaqn Thanks i'm glad you found your path. I hope i find mine too.

i’ve been in the deepest depression of my life since i joined amazon. 40 hours of overnight slaving while the rest of my free time is spent resting from the work i’ll go back to in a few hours. i am not okay with this. i refuse to waste my small amount of time for money that means nothing except a bed and food. you don’t work, you have nothing but at least you have your time. you work and you have money, but no time to even be there to enjoy it. sickening. it makes me want to run away and at the same time it rocks me to my core, and i know that the only escape is an end to life. i don’t care about wealth and health and relationships. if you’re living in this kind of society, people will continue to rapidly isolate, lose verbal communication skills, and lose empathy. what then. you’re physically healthy. still slaving to make enough to live. and the relationships you have still feel empty. what. then. bc that’s where we’re going. you know that. we’re dying and we don’t even know it. so what’s the real answer here? what do we actually do? not. shit. and that’s the problem. we can’t do shit about it. we’ve introduced technology now. there is a constant flow of dopamine for everyone. no happiness needed through healthy means when you’ve got all you need for an instant hit. we’re going tf down, this whole nation. but idk if we’re going to make it out to build a new life. where’s the real solution here?
Damn that title hits hard. A lot of people get the light snuffed out of their eyes by the time they reach adulthood or even earlier. We all saw the world as something so great and full of opportunities but now it's just a formidable giant ...
I still have dreams, but they're not the same ones I had when I was younger. Now I'm just happy to have a loving family, friends, a good job to keep me busy and make me more than the average and an amazing woman by my side.
Simple things just make so much more appreciated as I grew up. Things I questioned my mother on I now understand, and don't bat an eye at anymore.
The term: "enjoy the little things, and appreciate those around you." Really hits me deeper now.
Now I understand this quote "You will never get to the top, if you play with the rules."
Maybe so, but you can fail or be punished by not playing by the rules unfortunately.
Time for an “unschooling” movement. Traditional public education has completely failed the human heart and spirit. We’ve been pushing for school reform since the 1970s. Literally no changes have occurred within traditional public education, and while charter schools are generally better for the spirit than traditional public schools, efficiency is still their primary concern that they’re forced into, whether they like it or not. School reform won’t happen. A revolution in schooling is the solution.
On that thought, Americans should consider themselves blessed. Here in this country, there are all manner of resources for homeschooling parents to access. The amount of choice you have is staggering: secular or religious, special needs or advanced needs, skills focused or academic focused, and a wide continuum of institutionalization ranging from completely independent parent teaching to 'learning cadres' where parents in an area pool their expertise. I can't think of another country with this level of choice. In fact, in several Western countries, homeschooling is actually ILLEGAL.
As far as having the time to provide this education, it's amazing how little hands on instruction kids actually need once they get going. An hour or two at the end of the day, while the family is having dinner together, is usually enough for most kids. Mixing together play and learning is also a great option. If your kid is interested in airplanes, take them to an aerospace museum. If they like archeology, take them out to a dinosaur dig on a vacation. If they're interested in something more physical, like cars, have them help you do routine servicing of your vehicle. The possibilities are limitless.
School reform is needed. The classroom setting is still valuable for socializing, but it needs more community integration.
charter schools are worse

An amazing video, thanks!
Excellent video, Moon! I am an old man now and have always believed these things. There was no UA-cam when I was a teenager, but I was fortunate enough to form the same ideas by reading Henry David Thoreau. (So yes, I did have to participate in "the system" to some extent. But I did it as little as possible, and most important - I never took any of it seriously.)
Imagine how many young people who could have excelled in Harvard or top universities, but grew up in poverty, working in sweatshops and never had the chance...
it's not even like prestigious schools do anything incredible, it's more like the "normal" schools are just stuffing people's head with toxic mindsets and literally turning children into husks of a person. It would just be enough to like, not let them do that...
@Sparkbag Its not even that. The biggest appeal to a school like Harvard, or Yale is the connection and networking. You are guaranteed a job in the world of the Elites. Lots of stupid people go to Yale. Mommy and Daddy just need to make enough "donations" to keep them from getting expelled.
@@sparkbag_ People who can afford to go to such schools get higher quality of education, more resources for learning, and as Eric said a lot of connections in basically whatever field you're studying for. If everyone had free access to high quality education we'd have many less people struggling to find purpose in life.
My experience with state education is that most people will end up with entry level jobs because they've not been enabled to seek higher profession jobs or given the tools for any specific industry they'd prefer. Its basic maths, science, and literature then send them out into the workforce or paying for any higher education.
Its a system seemingly designed to insulate higher education for people who are better off.
When he mentions the kids of Obama, Clinton ect. going to Harvard and Yale, it is because those colleges favor students who are well connected/ have had parents who went there. They literally state in the fine print that they consider legacy status.
Not all prestigious colleges are like that. MIT, UC Berkeley, and CMU are much more working class colleges that produce students that can end up in similar places. Berkeley for example has an avg family income of ~ 120k but many many people end up in the same places as Harvard grads - hell I even know somebody who chose Berkeley over Harvard for Computer Science because he didn't want to deal with the old school nepotism bs.
@@0Ciju0 Understand that there are different groups of elites tho - Harvard is for rich kids and is connected to old school Wall Street, but schools like MIT are still pretty accessible to the working class and will give you access to the elites in big tech. Imo, the playing field is uneven, but still much better at some top schools than others.
The fact that videos and communities like this exist is encouraging. It means that people are waking up to the problems with themselves and society. It makes me hopeful for the future. I have no trouble finding personal happiness, but being surrounded by unhappy people is such a drain that it makes me exhausted.
We can rest assured that the revolution is coming. In the meantime though, get your shit together and do your bit to help fix society.
The revolution isnt coming, we must bring it.
Yeah, with all of the information we have today, people are waking up to reality. However, it's difficult because of the amount of distractions that are put out today such as social media and entertainment. I believe this century will be the collapse of some of the biggest countries and civilizations. Viva la revolution!

I’ve just started watching your videos. I don’t really know if I’d rather know the ugly truth or live happily not knowing it.

Love how you touched on education here. I got out of teaching precisely because the system wouldn't let me do things the way they ought to be done. I was tired of being told to do my job wrong. Education is the only industry where mediocrity is valued and exceptionality is forced out. Glad you brought it up.
@Surfyun I wanted to incorporate lessons that actually gave students useful skills and information in a modern context that would be meaningful to them. Instead, I was forced to shut up and feed them 15th century literature that nobody on the planet needs to read anymore. I wanted to form real connections with my students by talking to them outside of classes (not outside of school, mind you) and generally being an approachable person, but I was repeatedly told not to do that and that I was being "too friendly."
I was always demanding. I never let people slack off, and failed plenty of people. But I wanted to do it right, to teach with purpose, and I was constantly obstructed.
I feel the same way about education. It does a poor job of preparing kids for the rest of their lives in its current form and fails to use proper techniques to teach in the first place. It's not entirely the teachers fault either. Its about money and the bottom line not education. Especially public education with it's costly textbooks that quickly go out of date only to cost schools more the next year.
There’s a document I found back when I was in high school written by the Rothschild foundation “for education?” that mentions SPECIFICALLY that the point of the edu curriculum was to create a nation of workers, molding employees not employers, mind you right the next day I was on the highway and on the way home I see this Ferrari with the plate # “2.7 GPA” which happened to be the same AVG I graduated with, meaning “Below Average”. I had an interest in Architecture, Engineering and Psychology, unfortunately these classes failed to spark my interest on any of the topics, teachers not caring, filling out paperwork, quiet classrooms with no discussions, felt like day care. Now I’m a warehouse worker, and it feels just like high school, except worse and trapped in a way, I just turned 20 and seeing videos like this make me want to get out and work on my free days even after 70 hours of back breaking work earning less than you guessed it, average. I’m not giving up but I’m weary. I hope and have faith. That’s all that’s left.

These two books blew my mind.. “do nothing” by Celeste Headlee and “bright sided”--- I cant recall the authors name of bright sided, but it’s a title that is easy to find.

@Ventricosa The King that's the dictatorship of the proletariat, so a "big no no" i guess. The proper dictatorship (and the socialist countries never outgrew that theoretical phase) of course stretched out to anyone even remotely thinking it's ok to have rich people to whom the means of production belong. Since means of production can be a simple farm the whole dictatorship eats itself (also by installing people who know nothing about farming).
It seems finding a clever way rather than simple violence might be more successful like boycotting certain products and stores, supporting small farmers maybe by buying in bulk for whole neighbourhoods, watching tv in one or a few community rooms instead of each family (..member!) buying their own, sharing IT&legal knowledge in szch communities or neighbourhoods, transport, handiwork, childcare too... already a few small steps to bring cost of living way down.
But you know, individualism above everything...sigh.
I think you did an amazing job explaining the systems in place to keep us unhappy, under developed and poor but you kind of wrap everything up in a single sentence. I think the answer is more than just "Health + Wealth + Relationships = Happy".
What if wealth right now requires more of your time and because of that health and relationships suffer for it?
Yeah I'd argue community brings meaning and purpose brings some part of the happiness equation.

the video over simplifies everything and is made in a catchy narrative. It takes a lot more than some blank statements to demonstrate what he's trying to theorize. And i don't say that only to oppose myself to what i just watched, i believe the inequality is obvious in society following the matthew principle.
This video CHANGED MY LIFE back when I first watched it. It started a chain of initiatives that I took to improve my life by changing my mindset.
I have already gotten aware of this trap many years ago, glad to find that you're making thousands of people aware too.
It took this guy 14 minutes to describe the problem.
But it took him 1 minute to explain how to escape it.
I think that says everything. Go for it! Happiness is a decision.
@FuckOuttaHere then cry
@FuckOuttaHere I agree. Happiness is only an emotion and the real decision is the quest towards meaningfulness.
i was thinking the same thing at the end of the video.
You don‘t even need too watch the problem part. The last min. explains everything lol
@FuckOuttaHere No, but you CAN choose to do things that make you happier.
It's pretty easy to explain why people are so unhappy all the time. They spend years watching the world's "best of the best." Keeping up with the Kardashians, the Oscars, political leaders on social media, people with doctorates, etc. It can feel like our accomplishments mean nothing in comparison because we are constantly comparing ourselves to rich, hyper-successful people.
The average person spends ~4 hours a day on their phones. This equates to just under a decade of our lives(assuming this is every day for 78 years) on our phones.
Also, I think people think happiness should be the "end-all." Like one day we will just wake up and never have to deal with stress, money, problems, etc, again. So when they wake up and feel the same way they did yesterday, they think nothing has changed.
It’s decent argument. Just a couple things I’d like to mention. So you set up an example of a person of poor stature in society. You tell their story and you make the situation seem so utterly hopeless to the point of making them appear to be damned to suffer for the rest of their life. However, in the end you say that all they need to do is go on the grind. I don’t know about you but that’s feels like a very rushed conclusion. I’d be great if you went further into depth into your solution to your thesis argument, or reel back the overly dramatic depression story. I get you need to overplay the situation to get the audiences attention but in doing so you turn your solution into a band aid for what appears to be a much larger issue.
My thoughts exactly, “to get out of the rat race you need to work hard and beat the race”
the word "grind" always had me wondering,what the fuck are people thinking when they are "grinding",the word grind on its own is a negative impact on the "item". let alone the "sigma" variant that came out of nowhere,the "chad loner that doesnt play by the rules but everyone admires". i understand the coping mechanism of using such edgy mindsets,shoving in order to budge a bit and get going, but the faster you go,the harder you will crash. let alone the shameless monetization of the movement.
instead of "grinding",refine yourself. instead of "sigma",try being part of a like minded,supportive group. sometimes the "redpill" is a blue pill dyed red.
when your mental is fucking broken,you join groups like alcoholics anonymous,cognitive behavioural groups,and so on.
fear and paranoia saved you in the jungle,opening up to your circle and being vulnerable helped you weed out the parasites,busting a nut on your own has a load of benefits,eating a "junk food" meal might give you that dopamine slap you needed. but even when drinking water of all things,extreme approaches are harmful,they become disorders. find what YOU want to change and fucking do it. find value within yourself,even in the smallest things,and stop trying to adhere to some principal,its the very same mentality that got you here in the first place.
I was scrolling looking for this. To be frank, I was rolling my eyes through a lot of this video. I was really hoping that it would be wrapped up with some action items with measurable criteria for success. Instead, we are given an obvious equation that everyone knows anyway. Health + Wealth + Relationships. Really? I’m pretty sure every ad agency for the same corporate overlords the narrative alludes to has been hammering the importance of those 3 things to us in every bit of media we consume. This video, to me, fails to escape the very mindset being purportedly drilled into us. Money is important! (Gotta grind hard! Gotta spend all your free time doing a side hustle! Make your ideas marketable! Buy my methods to do so!) Health is important! (Fad diets! Gotta buy gym membership! Buy workout equipment!) Relationships! (Tindr (Grindr?), look good in fresh clothes, whiten teeth, skincare, pick up artistry, taking advantage of nepotism wherever possible)
I get it. Wages have stagnated. Inflation is rampant. Fewer people own homes. Power is being increasingly consolidated to a wealthy few who have their finger on the scales of justice and policy. But this video fails to address the only things in the past that have ever fixed those issues: taking political action in any form. Protests, walk outs, mailing your representatives or MP’s, Revolution if everything else fails. Sensible wealth distribution, fair taxation, safe working conditions, safe food, have all been because of laws written in the blood of those who suffered the most.
Simply being like “yay me! Gonna be healthy, wealthy, and have good relationships” is not going to dismantle the power structures that have caused all of this to happen in the first place.

You will need co-ordination. If you dont strike at the same time,small bonfires can be stepped on,a wildfire cannot. Unite in silence,and seek change together. And I hope for peaceful change,because violence isnt an answer,it is a question,and we do our best to say no every time.
@@wrongthinkery8357 if you’re implying violence against those you see as your enemy then you are truly mistaken. Taking radical action has shown throughout history to prove fool hardy. The American revolution that created this country was probably the most conservative Atlantic revolution especially compared to France or Haiti. Uncontrolled violence based on anger and envy will not help the situation.
Keys: -Take on personal responsibility to attend to ourselves and the community. -Begin to see work as play. -Build slow habits that will instill discipline. -Cut out the sugar, the lethargicness, and social media drivel. -Calm your mind. -Play the game being played against you for your freedom. -Health+Wealth+Relationships=Joy.
Thanks!
I have really been coming to terms with how worthless my primary, secondary and tertiary educations were. I learned nothing useful. The whole thing was a massive waste of time. The education system needs to be abolished.
Only find like-minded people like you who actually WANT to escape the matrix. This is the most important lesson I learned, people who are content with the system are perfectly fine being slaves and they want you to be slaves too. We need to find enlightened individuals and band together, do not let sheep drag you down.
ok so you're going to band together and then... what?
@@sparkbag_ we will help each other out just as any tribe does. Fight against the system and not succumb to their tyranny.
You are absolutely right man. It's so rare to find individuals who are capable of being aware of all the shit and distractions we are living theses days...
and remember to help the sheep realize their condition
Yes I’m VERY on board with this
The virus definitely showed that most people see schooling as socialized daycare in America
thats the truth
IKR so true i am really sick of school i already just want to pursue my dreams but now ill will have to be enslaved in another 5 YEARS . . .
That and rampant Wokeness in schools flipped an entire state election in my state(Virginia)from completely blue to straight red. Not saying Republicans are the answer bus it shows people can change the status quo when enough people just pay attention to what's happening around them
@@oklahoma6006 try to get enrolled into a trade school for the last two years of school.....in fact start looking now.
It needs to connect more with the community more than just learning from the TV that gets rolled in.
because of this channel I've become more driven and focused on working out and training then I've ever been. Thank you for the motivation.
Love that your bringing your content and channel to a spiritual aspect. You're 100% right and the majority needs to hear this. Eyes need to be opened. Thank you.
Hi moon, I'm 16 and lived in poverty my whole life, I've always had the dream of be told me should do. Whenever I tell people what I want to be im always been told to get a backup. Whenever I start to think that I should pick an easier or different life path I don't want I come to your videos and that helps me believe in myself and follow what I want. Thank you so much.
💪🏽💪🏽
Wow, you're a tool.
Teenage attempts at profound thought always seem terribly funny in a cringe way. Just steal alcohol from supermarkets and slack off at a shit job. This is the only time in life you’ll be able to do so. Enjoy it 🍻
Yes go hard for life. Ignore these ignorant people with no life purpose trying to mock you. I’ve been in your shoes and I’ve made it happen so you can too. I believe in you!
@Jure Dolar sounds like something youd hear from a get rich pyramid scheme
Really great video. I'll never forget the words from my mother, after I told her that I quit my accounting job, because I don't enjoy it. She said "Work isn't supposed to be fun. Where would society be, when everyone would have fun while working?"
Thats the truth. For every person enjoying their passion there are countless others who need to work simple jobs like garbage collection, sanitation and resource distribution in order to keep society running.
@@ponternal If people quit those jobs, they will simply have to raise wages to entice people to do them. If nobody wants to do it, then you deserve money for being the one who does. Otherwise "Society" can do without garbage collection as far as I'm concerned.
Since the dawn of society, labourers have always been at the bottom of the social and economic ladder, (think slaves and peasants) despite being the ones who put roofs over other people's heads and keep the lights on while other assholes sit around in air-conditioned offices doing work that is usually meaningless and not impactful but they can make 700k a year.
I think it's time for a change.

This hurts really bad
Thank you
I found you a few months ago and I've been watching ever since. Constant good content being pumped out, thank you for saying the truth for what it is, this channel is one of only a few that do that.
my best friend got me hooked on this guy last week with the tiktok videos. this man speaks raw truth and nothing but.
academy of ideas, pursuit wonders, after skool ... ;)
If you're still watching, you've missed the pint. Stop watching and get out there!
I've always believed that private education should be abolished and it's always been astounding to me that it's widely accepted that rich kids from well off families are entitled to higher education than those who are impoverished through no fault of their own. If anything it should work the other way around and yet everyone is seemingly ok with it. I was given the opportunity to attend a private school since my mum is a teacher there and could get cheaper tuition and I refused (partly because I would never want my parent to be my teacher and also on a moral objection)
I got trapped in a bad situation with an abusive family, with a particularly bad run through the education system because my parents claimed I was violent in an attempt to get sympathy, which meant I could be physically assaulted by state actors, often for something as simple as speaking back. Of course when I told my parents they both told me that I was a liar, so it continued until I physically stopped going to that school.
One thing I did have as a blessing with a drive to read and watch educational material rather than watching TV. Don't know what useful knowledge it gave in terms of success in this society though. Spiritually much better, but I can't see not being poor forever.
I've studied economics for a year before dropping out.
I was miserable and the thought of being a corporate cog, a rat in a suit, doing meaningless tasks for entity that barely acknowledges my existence terrified me, made me sick.
I'm now studying engineering, but I'm realizing that's not it either. It's much closer to what I'm interested in than previous Uni, but other than subject, it's only more of the same.
I only went for engineering bc I love cars and I'm good at math, but it ain't working for me. I'm thinking about dropping out, like half my year already did...
I'm very passionate about cars, about cooking, blacksmithing, traveling.
There are so many things I'd want to do, but I'm wasting my time on meaningless work that no one will care about.
I'm 21 and it's about time for me to take my life into my own hands instead of relying on others to sort it for me like a child.
Thank you for this video. It made me stop for a moment and think over some things.
I don't yet know what I'll do, but I very much know what I won't be doing anymore...
@edim finish your education, than do whatever you want to do in life, you'll be thankful when life doesnt work out and you can build up quickly again with a good job
I’d say just continue with schooling until you find your purpose. Honestly, I’m 21 too. Been dropping in and out of college for a while. I’ve made up my mind that I’ll just get my degree to rely on but work towards making my real dreams happen simultaneously. Please take time to think on your decision. It’s very crucial!! Good luck.
Try Automotive Engineering Technology or Mechanical Engineering Technology. More time in front of steel, less in front of paper.
Health, Wealth, Relationships = Happiness. It's not a new concept but it's definitely one many people have forgotten.
Great video man :]
This video is just so true.
Watching Moon’s videos for me always feels like “This man has made great points on this video. I can’t wait to see how he draws the worst conclussions possible from it and ends up blaming China”
lol
Aaaah lol
Same. this man only see the bad said of things
Sheep
@@triforcecarrier yes, of course that saying he made good points but extracted shitty conclussions from them makes me a sheep. Not you, the dude who’s blindly defending an unknown internet personality’s views. Yeah.
Grades do matter because getting into a good college determines the wealth you make in the future but the school isn't doing this fairly. They are teaching you useless information that only trains your ability to obey.
You are a lost cause
Collage?
What about trade school?
@@ejjsdhgxjdhhdhsh2339 tell me how the average joe can make a good living starting from 0. Education is the only way to your freedom in many modern countries. Try to make it in NY without a degree, you won't even be invited to an interview.
Interesting... I've started exercising 4 out of 7 mornings, I wake up before my wife and the kids, just to focus on this. I'm even considering getting up even earlier to have a run or at least a walk before hitting the shower and the commute to my job (which I'm lucky to say I like, I'm basically working in the field of what used to be a hobby)
I started this before I saw his video, and I'm glad to feel validated in my effort. Thank you Moon.
Also, I was in a bad spiral (still kinda am), losing my family to an unhealthy addiction to facebook and Twitter. I'm almost ditching Instagram (but I need it for work, strategic vigil of the competition)
Just reading a book was a colossal endeavour, but I'm getting back to it. I even go to bed earlier !
My wife thinks I'm kinda weird for wanting to wake up so early, that I should stay in bed longer in the morning. But I then don't have time for me. I used to barely have breakfast, and feel tired and weak, just because I was on her rythm. And it was bad... If it works for her, good for her, but I can't.
Heh, I hope she notices when I get fitter, and then when she's horny, I'll be like "nah, not feeling like it." (it's childish and immature, I know, I know...)
I’ve watched several of this guy’s (or this team’s) videos. I never comment on anything. But I just wanted to say that this writing and thinking is SO inspiring, thoughtful, and introspective. Highly recommended channel. Amazing content for sure. 🤩
I erased TikTok after watching the videos about it. The channel makes you think!
Moon, you're incredible. I've been thinking of ways to spread these particular ideologies to friends, family, and as many people in general for the past couple of years or so now. However, you finally putting these need-to-be-heard words out there for the public and most especially with your popularity behind to boost it, it truly does put a smile on my face. YOU are part of that step forward to a brighter and better future for all, and I thank you for that.
A better future where we do nothing remarkable at all
@@jsarcastic3n436 this is talking about the future generation of a make believe figure so we could at least feel empathy of how bad the system of the west is going to become
No
I remember in high school, one of the guys just answers the teachers question without raising his hand and he would end up with better grades than the rest. I did that more often the following years and I am doing fine. (you gain nothing by waiting for the teach to pick you because you raised your hand)
Good job moon! My high recommendations for the casual watcher is to perhaps listen to some architects, those are the most sensible people you'll come by
Fun fact, literally every man or woman that did something remarkable in their lives they have told when they were children that will not do anything remarkable. If you read some history books you will realize that the issues we face today are jokes relative to the problems our ancestors had. Nocebo (the opposite of placebo) exists and it is super powerful, just be positive, do your best, prepare for the worst it simple as that. Read the book Man search for meaning and you will understand.
As Gandalf said to Bilbo at the end of the Hobbit book "You're a very fine person, Mr. Baggins, and I'm very fond of you, but you're only quite a little fellow in a wide world, after all." And Bilbo answered, "Thank goodness!"
well said
I disagree that we somehow don't have massive challenges of our own. 2000 years ago they didn't have technology designed to enslave the entire planet under police states that can track your every move and behavior. 100 years ago they didn't have flying machines that don't even need pilots that hover around loitering for hours ready to murder masses of people in seconds as an extension of a government's power.
We may not have barbarians running through the woods anymore, but our species has never been so tightly locked down and controlled by beaurocrats with seemingly no way out and nowhere to simply leave and settle in like our ancestors did when they got tired of a place and it's BS.
Old slavery used whips. New slavery just cages your mind and your soul and gets you dancing to it's tune if you want to survive.
@@shadow7988 I understand that the use of technology may be out doom. But dont forget that lockdowns were almost non existant to nonwestern countries. Also the decline of freedom and quality of life is western phenomenon in recent years. This is not the case in most countries.
I live at the Balkans, people here are poor and the governments are corrupt but today right now even with global pandemic most people they see the future way more positively than the avarage Americans i met when i was in US. Do you think the average Romanian or Serbian has less freedom today or he lives worse than used to live during communist era? Almost all aspects of life are better now than used to be.
Romanian, Serbian, Russian even Thai, or South Korean people even with so many issues that still face today they live waaaay better and have waaay more freedoms than used to have before 80s. Unfortunately, I cant say the same for most Western countries that slowly became totaliterian hellhole. Our species will continue to thrive the west is done. Sorry for my English.
@@thanosandnobill3789 Well, yeah, your dictators collapsed in the 90's. Ours are stronger than ever with no signs of weakening any time soon. I do appreciate the strength of your people for rejecting those monsters, and while corruption will always be a thing as long as humans are humans, you're right that it's an improvement. For us trapped in 'western' nations, however, we're going the way of China and I don't really see any practical way for us to resist.
Well over half our population is so hopelessly connected to the matrix that they will rabidly fight to preserve it, and actively attack anyone that even dares to question the status quo. And if you think this will only effect us, try to imagine a world where the US, China, and the EU, the three biggest power blocks on the planet that greatly influence everyone else, are all beating down the same path. Honestly you hardly even have to imagine it, it's happening before our eyes.
"Just be positive"
Bruh seriously f u c k this shit.
I was sort of "unschooled" from grade 6-10 and now, in 11th grade, I'm finally in school and all my teachers think I'm a sort of genius because I can do all of the schoolwork faster and without any hiccups compared to kids who have gone to school their entire lives. Growing up, my mom focused on letting me learn what I wanted, and because I was a curious kid, I learnt a lot of things in more depth than school will ever teach you. I was debating my mom about politics and forming half intuitive political opinions that to my surprise, were not incorrect assumptions about society. I socialized as well, made meaningful friendships and didn't have access to social media (I was so busy researching new things or doing what I enjoyed that I never even thought of it.) and even now that I'm older, I can't bring myself to use apps like twitter, instagram, facebook or reddit. I chose to pursue higher education, not for money, but because I'm simply interested in learning more about a particular subject. The future of our world concerns me more and more every single day. These days people have no purpose to their life, and political opinions have become so uninformed that people on the left will be claiming to be communists or Marxists without understanding the implications of what that truly means. We're already in an era where individual thought and expression has been stifled, with censorship and subduing of will.
Yeah thats right
Hey I really need help from ya , can we talk please?
I have to ask if you can release the basics of how to become unschooled? I want to have this in my arsenal for my kids
Bot
this is the way I wanted to be taught... my parents are stuck in the deluded mindset that the mundane and oppresive nature of school is the only real thing that matters in the most creative parts of our lives :)
Thanks a lot for your valuable suggestions.
A dramatic 15 minutes video to tell me to focus on Health, Wealth, and Relationships as a solution. As a 5 year old, I find this deep.
you look older though
I was joking. @@jensmarkgraf
I'm 24 years old and I've been homeless on and off since 13 years old. This video is as real as it gets, and I've never really been this honest with anyone. "There's is no such thing as opportunity or equality when the system is rigged from the start" watching videos like this just makes me want to kill myself. It's been over a decade and I've put every ounce of energy I have into working to keep a roof over my head and even then I haven't been able to keep any stability. I work over 40 hours a week and still can't afford to live, and it's only getting worse. My will to live is deteriorated and this planet is dying, the system is rigged and there's no real solution. I'll only be happy when I'm 6 feet under and my existence is forgotten.
@@adamwalkervfx why be a cunt man. What do you get out of it hm?
I’ll never understand what you’re going through. I’d love to “give advice” or some other bs, but all of that would be a bold faced lie. I can’t help you.
All I can do is hope that your hard work pays off. Stay safe bro, hope things go relatively well.
@@adamwalkervfx I'd miss him, actually.
Yes the current state of the world is crippling way, history repeats its self. Kingdom rise kingdoms fall. Cycle of life continues. The world is coming into a golden age, but no diamond was ever made with out alot of presuse. Remember there is one thing no one can take way from you.
Please keep fighting.
This video has some truth but offers zero solutions. "You need health, wealth and relationships to be happy." No shit why didn't I think of that!
Ya if I wanted useless, vague, no-shit advice I'd ask a boomer.
There is a saying by monks in Eastern Asia, “mans biggest mistake is the belief that we have time”, the more we waste the more time is flushed away unless acted upon, you kinda only got one life so don’t let it be lost to a system.
Video games are my creative freedom. Just wish I had more time to make something deeper. Like mods or my own entire indie game.
The most daunting attribute to overcome is learned helplessness and intellectual complacency. Being proactive, independent and innovative with time, money, relationships, health is skillset/mindset that has to be cultivated through discipline.
Most people didn't have parents or authority figures to teach them this reality, so they passively walk through life, unquestionably. Never trusting themselves to take on new challenges, or ideas in order to create solutions and design a better life.
This has created a docile society. Simultaneously, it's created a citizenry that doesn't create. There are very few artisans today. Most people work or play in a very cookie cutter way, mostly consuming in some fashion. We don't pour our creativity, passion, and effort into works of art, craftsmanship, or thought. Our work and play has been largely divorced from our internal sense of meaning and purpose.
More than ever, we need to create. Not consume.
It's hard to create when your time is consumed by work to barely scrape-by. I think your advice is good for maybe teenagers who still have time to fuck around after school and live with their parents. Don't waste that time because if you don't use it, you'll get stuck in the endless cycle of making money just for it to be spent on living expenses.
@@TaxFraudTutorials I agree that it's very easy to get stuck in the rat race of life. I think there is several order of effects for the lack of training and education we're given. Whether that be a failure by parents, school, or society at large.
When I say create, I think there is many forms to this. It could be purely artistic in nature: painting, music, sculpture, writing, etc. But it can also be solutions to problems around your house, work, family.
I also think starting a business even if it isn't an original idea can be a great creation and exploration. Obviously we all have different needs, abilities and restraints.
But, only consuming seems to lead to degradation of the soul.
Think we are past that point, nothing created can change this system; it will be corrupted or destroyed by those at the top it threatens. An upheaval of the system is the only solution. Could’ve been turned around 30+ years ago if people started then but we’ve already passed the threshold.
@@davidcochran8022 I definitely have noticed that most people don't even have hobbies nowadays, creative or otherwise. We are a very dull society right now. Consuming, in all forms, surely does something to our brains. I spend so much time online that I feel like I haven't had an original thought in years. I don't know where or how to begin getting my creativity back
@@stephen8342 I would disagree. I wouldn't say that. For the most part, people still have their freedoms. Sure, most of us don't have financial freedom or assets that give us as much time as some others. But that doesn't mean we can't create. Simply means it will take more time and effort to do so.
I'm not sure any great achievement was born out of ease.
This video started very strong, but the conclusions I've drawn when making the same observations is simply that the way you can become rich is by desiring less, and
most importantly desiring the things that matter. Work part time, live frugal, prioritize.
And buy assets
The question should not be "How to get rich?", but rather "Why to get rich?". That's one of the many topics omitted at schools, hence the whole world keeps filling up with degenerate masses willing to get to those sacred "millions of dollars" no matter what and with no particular purpose.
yea people want to be rich bcs why not lol that's the only goal I know
@@playaaaLV I know why I wanna be rich - to be free and secure so I can pursue the things that actually matter to me instead of being a wagie wagie in a cagie for some outlander billionaire. Now, all I need to know is... How TF do I do it?
@@vulpesinculta9253 IMO you don't need to be particularly rich to get to that. "How" though - skills and hard work.
I'm an artist and I'm not here by accident. All my life I have struggled to find meaning in life. All my life I've studied the works of the greatest minds of humankind. When I graduated law school only then I realized I was going to be a rigid dull gear. I gave that up to be an artist. I'm so lucky to have had the chance of exceptional education and not to enjoy the established thought-devouring media and being able to think fot myself... Even not having much financial security, I feel free and that I'm doing things that matter and are good not only for me but to the whole humankind. I turned into an artist to set people free. Earlier today I was feeling lost, unmotivated and with low self-esteem. This video helped me get back on track.
Life is very unfair bro 🤦🏾♂️😢
This video is so close to addressing actual issues, but it drops the ball with its prescription. You can’t pull yourself up by your bootstraps, that’s not how life works. You think you can just be magically be happy by trying just a little harder? No, while we can all certainly do a bit more for ourselves, at this point the system needs to change.
The rich rely on us to do the actual work. We already have the power, we just need to organize together instead of trying to “make it on our own.” The rich only benefit from people separating themselves, we have to stand together.
exactly
The system isn't going to change on its own. The best option available to you as an individual is to become someone capable of leading by example. If you want change then get to work my friend, there is no other way forward.
