I'm broken.

Transcript
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,040
I'm not tracking my subscriber count anymore. I am focusing now on

2
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,200
Only my video quality nothing else matters and

3
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:22,760
The reason why I sound a little down right now is because I am down. I am extremely down. I am broken. I

4
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,160
Think that there's something fundamentally wrong with the way I live life and the way

5
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:29,720
the

6
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,720
our society

7
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:37,000
Lives and I am reading a book about it right now

8
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,680
And it's basically putting into words a lot of the things that I have

9
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,000
vaguely understood

10
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:50,100
last month I talked about how I got really angry at

11
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,480
seeing

12
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:58,280
This type of lifestyle a mediocrity meet that that's what I call a mediocre lifestyle

13
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:03,800
and that's because I used to live that lifestyle and I realized that it sucked and

14
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:09,240
I have improved my life, but I still see other people

15
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,640
Especially people I'm close to living that lifestyle and it gets to me but I

16
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,720
Think that I was actually just

17
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,600
I'm actually angry at that stuff

18
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,600
out of ignorance

19
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,160
because

20
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:30,620
Yes, that lifestyle is terrible. It's just it's a fact

21
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,540
There is no way around it that lifestyle leaves a hole in your heart

22
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:38,080
but on

23
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:43,720
the other hand my lifestyle is still leaving a hole in my heart and I don't know why and

24
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,000
the tricky thing here is that I

25
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,120
Have no one to talk to about this because no one knows

26
00:01:53,080 --> 00:02:00,120
No one even wants to learn about this and there's no mentor available for me to learn about this stuff

27
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,720
What I'm talking about is called the Ascent of Humanity

28
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:09,640
It's a book called it's a book written by Charles Eisenstein and it's completely free online

29
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:15,120
if you want to go look for it he put it up on his website and

30
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,120
that book I

31
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,240
am only halfway through and

32
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,600
the reason why I started reading it was because a

33
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:30,960
Long time ago. I read a book called reality Transurfing and it completely changed the way I see my

34
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:37,720
Though I completely changed the way I see the world. It completely changed my life and I never went back

35
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:43,320
I I could never go back after you learn something you can't go back and

36
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,200
and this kind of book really

37
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:50,720
sent me on a path to search for more and more things because that book

38
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:57,000
Showed me a sliver of the truth and it exposed a lot of the lies that I've been living all my life

39
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,080
and a lot of the lies that our society teaches us and

40
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:08,600
I was in my search for more books like that. I found a website called the most beautiful world and

41
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:13,000
It's a website by this guy named Jean Pasco reman and

42
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,680
One part of the website that I found was his reading list

43
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,320
And it's called the ultimate reading list for human beings

44
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,440
It's like a little blog post and he explained that

45
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,680
You are God

46
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:34,960
literally

47
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:41,280
not some woo-woo stuff, but literally God and if you are a Christian and

48
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,480
You are getting a little nervous about what I'm saying

49
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:51,360
Well, I mean I used to be I grew up in a Christian household

50
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,360
I grew up going to church and I felt empty

51
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,880
talking about some abstract God and

52
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,760
I've gotten a lot of value and

53
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,280
I've started to learn a lot more things. I find that people who are

54
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,920
intolerant to

55
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:11,400
a

56
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:19,280
God other than the one they believe in is simply out of ignorance just like how I'm ignorant to literally everything in life

57
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,960
And it makes me angry

58
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:23,440
but

59
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,440
People who are angry at that

60
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,920
A lot of times they don't even care about searching for the truth

61
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,600
but

62
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,920
I've been reading these kinds of books and

63
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,560
in his blog post of the

64
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,080
Ultimate reading list for human beings

65
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,240
He explained that and I was instantly caught my attention

66
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:53,200
Because I knew that there was definitely something wrong with the way Christians see the world or at least modern-day Christians

67
00:04:53,200 --> 00:05:00,600
Maybe not Jesus's teachings, but who I don't even know if Jesus's teachings have gotten have reached

68
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:07,520
modern-day Christianity because a lot of the sources that I've learned from say otherwise, but

69
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,320
basically I

70
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:16,160
Knew that there was something wrong with Christianities teachings because I it left me feeling

71
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:22,160
like helpless it left me feeling just not like a human and

72
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,240
This reading list he said that the first book you should read is

73
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,160
Transurfing and I already read Transurfing and I thought it completely changed my life

74
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:39,040
So if he's recommending that book as the first book and that's basically the foundation to the rest of the reading list

75
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,040
Well, then the rest of the reading list is probably me really good

76
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:49,600
So I bought the first seven books on that reading list and followed his reading method

77
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:56,120
This was maybe eight months ago that I did this I followed his reading method of

78
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:02,760
Reading seven books at once you basically pick up one book read until you lose focus and then switch to the next book

79
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:07,960
And then repeat and then you're able to read in theory a book a day using that method

80
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:13,520
So I tried it and I completely failed. I was not able to read a book a day. In fact, it was

81
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:16,280
It just seemed way

82
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,000
worse of an experience reading

83
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,600
using that method

84
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,280
So I actually

85
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:26,440
Stopped reading all those books put them all up in the attic

86
00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:33,000
Except for his book Jean Pascal Riemann's book called Dancing After the Music Stops and I read that book

87
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:41,000
Amazing book and then I kind of put all that stuff away for a while and just focused on my YouTube channel

88
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,560
And then recently I needed a book because I was going on vacation

89
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,080
I was gonna finish the book that I planned on reading at vacation too early

90
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:53,520
So I brought this book the Ascent of Humanity which was

91
00:06:54,520 --> 00:07:00,320
The third book on his reading list and he said that that's the foundation to the truth

92
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:07,960
It basically gives you a like the whole foundation to learning the truth because he said that the greatest sin against

93
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:14,080
Humanity is not the school system not the 40 hour work week. Those are both tarot very wrong things

94
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,120
but the greatest sin against humanity is

95
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,640
The lie that you can never learn the truth

96
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:29,440
But he said that you can learn the truth through books and I am trusting him on that for now

97
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,440
and

98
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,640
Trying it for myself and so far it has worked reality

99
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:41,520
Transurfing completely changed the way that I see the world changed the way that I live and also

100
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:47,480
This book the Ascent of Humanity. I'm halfway through reading it right now and like I said, I am broken

101
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,200
whenever I read a

102
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,080
deeply

103
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:58,120
Different book when I read reality transfer from for the first time it tore me apart

104
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:05,520
I actually couldn't even read it fully on my own because it hurt it genuinely hurt

105
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:10,200
It was painful to read it because it was telling me things that

106
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:19,000
Went completely against the way that I thought the world worked and that's probably why most people will never

107
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,640
Try to even learn any of the truth because they don't want to go through that pain

108
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:30,160
They don't want to go through that suffering, but after I finished reading Transurfing. I'm so glad I did it

109
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:38,240
It is so amazing. It's it's just I I cannot even comprehend going back to the life that I lived before

110
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,400
Transurfing and now I'm reading the Ascent of Humanity and I'm suffering

111
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:51,240
I'm going through the pain because this book is all about doom and gloom. It's exposing the reality, but I

112
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:57,680
Heard that it's it leaves you feeling optimistic and it leaves you feeling inspired

113
00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:04,520
I read all the quotes of other people their reviews on the book and

114
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:12,920
They said that it paints a dark picture of our reality, but it leaves you feeling inspired and hopeful and full I

115
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,960
Have not gotten to the part of the book that leaves me feeling inspired and hopeful and full

116
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:26,000
I've only read the doom and gloom the suffering the just terrible picture of the book and it makes me

117
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:33,360
It makes me feel so much pain because it is exposing all the truths that I kind of

118
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,160
vaguely

119
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,120
Felt throughout my life, but I was never able to put my finger to it

120
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:46,080
Maybe not throughout my life, but at least over the past couple years when I started to wake up to the

121
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,720
terrible

122
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:53,480
Reality of our world of our condition and I still don't even understand what I'm saying right now

123
00:09:53,480 --> 00:10:01,280
If you think that I know what I'm talking about you are deeply wrong. I have no clue what I'm saying

124
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:07,040
I am 18 years old. I have I've read a couple books

125
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:13,200
I have no idea what I'm saying, but I do know that it hurts to learn what I'm learning and

126
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:19,280
I but I like it. I like it. I don't like I don't like

127
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:26,000
Feeling the pain, but I like how I am learning stuff that people will never learn on their own and

128
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:32,760
People are just gonna stay in the suffering in the misery and that's that's what I used to do and it sucked

129
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,760
but I like how I'm

130
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,240
I'm getting to a different level of being and

131
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,040
This book is

132
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:49,720
Putting me in I'm going through the phase where it's all just pain. It's all suffering

133
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,760
But I

134
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:59,360
Just want to get through this book. I want to get through this book so that I can focus on making better videos again and

135
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,520
Put all my energy into making better videos

136
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,000
And that's why I basically stopped

137
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:13,520
Yesterday was the first day that I completely stopped the production of video creation

138
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,520
I have one video called I

139
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:22,400
Carved out a piece of nature for you and there's like five other titles of that video, but that video is gonna go up

140
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,040
tomorrow right now is

141
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,600
August 30th and tomorrow is

142
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:38,040
the 31st Saturday of August and it's going up tomorrow, but I'm probably not gonna create another video at least until

143
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,960
Potentially I get back from California

144
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:48,680
and this is gonna be my first week in a long time that I miss and upload and

145
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,880
It's it's hard because

146
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:59,720
It's safe. It's gotten some point where it's actually safe for me to upload another video

147
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:03,320
But I just I'm just so sick and tired of posting

148
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,480
Garbage content. I'm so sick and tired of putting

149
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:14,440
30 hours and 40 hours into a video and it getting 20 views. I'm so sick and tired of I

150
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,840
literally came up with a thousand video ideas and

151
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:26,080
I narrowed it down to the 20 best video ideas and I sent them to

152
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:34,080
two people and only one idea was chosen by both of them as the best and you know what that idea

153
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,160
You know how many views that video got

154
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,720
I got 20 I got 20 views

155
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,000
That's worse than the first video I ever made

156
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:48,240
I'm that's it's this is not me quitting. This is not me

157
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:53,160
This is just me getting pissed off at myself for accepting subpar

158
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,560
content subpar quality and there's a quote how

159
00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:05,080
How Alex from Ozy said you're in a season of learning not earning the traditional

160
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,640
the traditional

161
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:16,760
pathway to success is to go to school college for four years and then oftentimes for an extra four years after that and

162
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:22,240
Then you start earning money. You don't start earning money until you get a degree

163
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,200
Which is a symbol of the fact that you learned stuff and

164
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,440
And I've been trying to just

165
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:36,840
Cash out now, which is why I completely cut out the course last month

166
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,320
I was super thrilled with making my first dollar online

167
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:45,120
And I'm glad I did that because that proved to me that you can't actually make money online

168
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:52,640
I've heard that it's true. I've seen that it's true, but I never experienced the truth myself

169
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:58,360
But now I know you can make money online, but I don't care anymore. I'm I

170
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,840
tried to cash out too early and

171
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:09,280
That's why I don't care about making money this morning someone said oh you got ads on your video now

172
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,940
You're making money. No, I'm not making money

173
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:20,600
Stop trying to stop focusing on the money. I hate when I get deluded by others people other people's

174
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:28,280
stupid small worldview that makes me change my worldview and

175
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:37,040
Look listen to how intolerant I am right now. I'm a broken person. I don't even the reason okay

176
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,400
My issue right now is that I know that I'm broken

177
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,400
I know that I'm intolerant and I know that I have so much self-importance

178
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:55,560
But I don't know how to fix it and no one in no one around me knows what I'm experiencing and no one knows how to fix it

179
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,960
but I stopped worrying about money and

180
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,840
I'm focused on learning and that's what I'm saying is

181
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:13,560
When I go through I'm going through a period where I don't care about producing content anymore because my YouTube mentor actually said that

182
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:20,480
My execution on videos has gotten a thousand times better than it used to be in fact

183
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,480
He actually alluded to

184
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:30,200
Saying that his or my execution is actually better than what he could do with my style of content

185
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:36,600
Now he makes completely different style of content. So obviously his execution is better than mine, but he alluded to

186
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:43,320
Making me think that my execution is not the issue with my content

187
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,080
Obviously, I still have work to do with the execution

188
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:52,960
But the fact that I got 3,000 views on a video that I can definitely make a lot better now

189
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,440
Shows that something is

190
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:03,320
There's a different bottleneck that's holding me back than execution. Yes, my execution still needs work

191
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,320
It will always need to improve

192
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,320
But

193
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,840
There's something different

194
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:15,120
That focusing on that thing will improve my content

195
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,880
so much more than

196
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:25,880
Just worrying about execution, which is what I've been doing and that thing I believe is three things which is the idea and

197
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:32,400
The packaging which inside the packaging is title and thumbnail. So the idea title and thumbnail and

198
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:38,640
And the reason why I believe that is because my most viewed video was actually supposed to only get a hundred views

199
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,200
but I changed the title and

200
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:47,440
It got it ended up getting 3,000 views. It blew up because I changed the title

201
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,560
but

202
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:58,520
That doesn't always work because sometimes the idea is fundamentally flawed for example in

203
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,880
This video that I just made

204
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:08,480
Or the video that I posted was the ancient sorcerers method for infinite discipline that got 20 views

205
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:15,800
20 views and I changed the title plenty of times and there are three different thumbnails

206
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:22,080
So, I mean yes the thumbnail and the title could still be flawed because I didn't come up with a good one

207
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:29,720
Which is another re another it proves my point that the idea title and thumbnail are all the things that I need to focus on right now

208
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:35,920
Which is why I finish once I finish reading this book the Ascent of Humanity. I'm focusing on

209
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:43,480
Learning YouTube because it takes four years for most people to start being able to earn money

210
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,320
Four years to earn a degree to go to college or to go to get a job

211
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,240
So who am I to think that I can start earning money right now?

212
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:59,440
No, if if you are someone who is rooting for me and you think that I should be focusing on money

213
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,600
Well, then that is just silly. That's so silly to me because I

214
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:10,160
Was supposed to go down a traditional path where it would take me four years to start earning money

215
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,560
Who am I to think that I can start earning money?

216
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:18,760
Only one one year into this I should be in a classroom right now. It is Friday

217
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,480
the

218
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,480
at 9 a.m.

219
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:27,320
Friday August 30th at 9 a.m. I should be sitting in a college

220
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:33,360
Classroom a college lecture hall. I should be listening to a professor

221
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,240
spew a bunch of information into my face

222
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:42,840
For four more years before I start earning money. So who am I to think that I can start earning money today?

223
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,680
No, I have to learn

224
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:50,000
and another quote that proves this to me is a

225
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,320
Microsoft executive was

226
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,320
said that a

227
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:04,920
Elite or not even elite but a professional expert level programmer is worth a

228
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:11,440
Thousand times better or a thousand times more than an average programmer

229
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,960
because of the quality of his ideas

230
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,280
the

231
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:22,080
expert the expert level programmer simply understands the thing better and comes up with better ideas a

232
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:30,120
Lot of the YouTube gurus that I listen to they say that coming up with ideas is simply just a

233
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,360
Quantity game you have to come up with so many ideas

234
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,900
But I came up with a thousand ideas and you know how much views that got me

235
00:19:38,900 --> 00:19:45,220
20 20 views so that proved that in combination with the quote of the

236
00:19:45,700 --> 00:19:48,860
Expert programmer is worth a thousand times more that proves to me

237
00:19:48,860 --> 00:19:54,140
That is not just quantity of ideas because mr. Beese could take one look at my channel and come up with

238
00:19:54,660 --> 00:19:58,020
two ideas in the next 10 seconds and

239
00:19:59,140 --> 00:20:01,140
the worst idea of

240
00:20:01,900 --> 00:20:03,900
the worst idea

241
00:20:04,340 --> 00:20:06,140
would get a

242
00:20:06,140 --> 00:20:12,020
Million times more views than if I came up with a thousand ideas and chose the best one

243
00:20:12,020 --> 00:20:19,260
And my proof is that I got 20 views by doing just that and I'm sure mr. Beese since he has spent

244
00:20:20,540 --> 00:20:25,960
Hundred or put tens of thousands potentially hundreds. I don't even know if that's possible hundreds of thousands

245
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,620
but he spent tens of thousands of hours studying YouTube and

246
00:20:29,980 --> 00:20:32,580
and working on YouTube that

247
00:20:32,580 --> 00:20:38,120
He is the equivalent of an expert programmer which makes him so much more valuable

248
00:20:38,340 --> 00:20:42,620
If I was able to use his brain for 10 seconds

249
00:20:43,740 --> 00:20:49,100
The ideas that I could extract from 10 seconds of his brain would be worth a

250
00:20:49,500 --> 00:20:54,020
billion times more than the ideas I could extract from my own brain in

251
00:20:55,700 --> 00:20:57,700
10 hours and

252
00:20:57,700 --> 00:21:06,060
Even 10 years from the this standpoint of where I'm at that's simply because he is better

253
00:21:06,060 --> 00:21:10,980
He's just better. He understands it more. He spent more time learning it. I've literally

254
00:21:11,580 --> 00:21:19,580
Barely ever studied YouTube only for a few hours a day for a spurts of a couple weeks at a time

255
00:21:19,580 --> 00:21:25,380
I've not really devoted that much effort or energy into studying or learning YouTube and

256
00:21:25,380 --> 00:21:31,740
And that's why I am not focused on earning money anymore or

257
00:21:32,740 --> 00:21:39,140
Producing videos anymore. Yes, I still should and I still will produce videos because

258
00:21:39,820 --> 00:21:44,580
You're simply not gonna learn just by studying you have to actually apply it, but

259
00:21:46,340 --> 00:21:48,340
There's an 80-20 rule I

260
00:21:49,020 --> 00:21:51,020
Have been going by the rule of

261
00:21:51,900 --> 00:21:53,900
spend 80% of your time

262
00:21:53,900 --> 00:22:00,300
Working on the thing and then only 20% of the time learning about the thing

263
00:22:00,820 --> 00:22:07,180
However, I want to swap it to its extreme. I want to spend not 80% of my time learning

264
00:22:07,180 --> 00:22:14,180
I want to spend the majority like 95% of my time learning about the thing because

265
00:22:14,540 --> 00:22:16,540
That's exactly what

266
00:22:16,540 --> 00:22:23,260
That's one thing that the school system probably got right the fact that you have to learn a bunch of stuff

267
00:22:23,260 --> 00:22:31,020
In order to actually produce something you have to actually become a professional in order to actually be a professional

268
00:22:31,380 --> 00:22:36,580
And I am no professional. I'm making YouTube videos that get 20 views and

269
00:22:37,780 --> 00:22:40,540
I just have to learn that's it

270
00:22:42,340 --> 00:22:43,940
Now I

271
00:22:43,940 --> 00:22:48,420
Am not advocating for the school system because it turns you into a factory worker

272
00:22:48,420 --> 00:22:55,780
That is literally the purpose of the school system. That's why it was created. That's Henry Ford and a few other people

273
00:22:56,380 --> 00:22:58,380
went through the trouble of

274
00:22:58,620 --> 00:23:03,740
Creating the school system education system so that they can get people to work a

275
00:23:04,100 --> 00:23:08,180
mindless tedious job like a factory job or even like a

276
00:23:09,420 --> 00:23:10,660
knowledge

277
00:23:10,660 --> 00:23:14,860
Like a classic H. Let's say for example like a classic HR

278
00:23:14,860 --> 00:23:20,420
Desk you sit at a desk and type all day or not even HR, but a classic office job

279
00:23:20,420 --> 00:23:23,820
You sit at a desk and type all day and do mundane activities all day

280
00:23:24,420 --> 00:23:28,700
They made the education system so that they could basically

281
00:23:30,180 --> 00:23:37,820
Chip away at our humanity so that we would be okay with spending 40 hours or 40 hours a week for 40 years

282
00:23:38,340 --> 00:23:41,220
doing that tedious thing, but if you

283
00:23:42,180 --> 00:23:43,660
actually knew

284
00:23:43,660 --> 00:23:45,260
what

285
00:23:45,260 --> 00:23:48,700
People know for example if you started reading books like

286
00:23:49,140 --> 00:23:52,960
Unscripted by MJ DeMarco and you read a book called reality

287
00:23:53,060 --> 00:23:58,340
Transurfing and you read a book called the Ascent of Humanity you would not accept that fate

288
00:23:58,820 --> 00:24:02,540
It's just a fact a the education system

289
00:24:02,580 --> 00:24:09,460
They teach you a book they teach you a very selective curriculum and look at me listen to me listen to the 18 year old kid

290
00:24:09,460 --> 00:24:15,180
Who's preaching about the education is a educational system? I have no idea what I'm talking about

291
00:24:15,860 --> 00:24:17,860
but

292
00:24:17,980 --> 00:24:21,260
Yeah, I don't even know what to talk about so don't even listen to me. I

293
00:24:22,340 --> 00:24:24,340
Am just checking my list

294
00:24:26,180 --> 00:24:33,660
Yeah, basically I think I got through everything I'm not focused on I'm not even gonna say how many subs I got because I

295
00:24:34,140 --> 00:24:36,140
Have gotten so hurt

296
00:24:36,140 --> 00:24:40,980
Over the past couple months or not the past couple months this past month

297
00:24:40,980 --> 00:24:47,300
I got so hurt that I did not gain as many subs as I thought I did. I'm pretty sure I gained six subscribers

298
00:24:47,820 --> 00:24:55,260
I got like that hurt me and that is so unacceptable to me because I'm literally focusing on the result

299
00:24:55,700 --> 00:24:58,540
Why would I care if I got six?

300
00:24:58,540 --> 00:25:06,180
Six subscribers when I was proud of getting 40 subscribers last month that is so ridiculous

301
00:25:06,780 --> 00:25:09,460
Especially because there are literally seven billion

302
00:25:10,380 --> 00:25:14,260
people on this planet and I care about a couple

303
00:25:15,180 --> 00:25:19,260
Ten I care about ten like even if I had millions of subscribers

304
00:25:19,260 --> 00:25:22,580
It would still be ridiculous to focus on the results

305
00:25:22,580 --> 00:25:28,780
I have become so deluded over the past month and honestly over the past couple years

306
00:25:28,780 --> 00:25:35,060
My entire life is just a delusion everything that I've believed in is just so

307
00:25:35,580 --> 00:25:37,660
Wrong so fundamentally wrong

308
00:25:38,700 --> 00:25:42,900
Everything if if I see myself as something separate from the universe

309
00:25:44,780 --> 00:25:48,100
The hunter-gatherers used to the hunter-gatherers see

310
00:25:48,100 --> 00:25:53,340
the world as sacred they see everything as sacred as

311
00:25:54,740 --> 00:25:57,740
They see if a hunter-gatherers wife

312
00:25:58,820 --> 00:26:02,940
Got sick he would go to the doctor and say I am sick

313
00:26:03,580 --> 00:26:07,300
Why not because he will get sick. That's that's our

314
00:26:08,100 --> 00:26:10,100
simpleton

315
00:26:10,140 --> 00:26:12,140
Observation that's our simple to observe

316
00:26:12,780 --> 00:26:16,540
interpretation of that event no he says that I am sick because

317
00:26:16,540 --> 00:26:22,940
He is his wife. He is the other he is everything

318
00:26:24,060 --> 00:26:26,060
What I mean by that is

319
00:26:26,700 --> 00:26:31,340
We are not just some individual and then everyone else is a other

320
00:26:32,140 --> 00:26:39,260
That's our simpleton. That's why we're so miserable in our society. That's why I'm miserable because I don't know others any other

321
00:26:39,260 --> 00:26:42,260
I don't know any other way of life other than that

322
00:26:42,260 --> 00:26:49,980
That's why it hurts so much reading these books because it's stripping every ounce of identity that I had for me

323
00:26:49,980 --> 00:26:52,900
And he hasn't given me a new one yet

324
00:26:52,940 --> 00:27:02,660
He hasn't given me a new identity to latch on to so or at least he said he he said that you're supposed to see yourself as

325
00:27:03,940 --> 00:27:08,740
One with nature like I am nature. I you're not some individual

326
00:27:08,740 --> 00:27:14,460
A separate from the universe you are the universe. That's so abstract to me

327
00:27:14,460 --> 00:27:19,900
I don't even understand what that means. I don't understand how to apply that which is why it's so painful to read these books

328
00:27:20,060 --> 00:27:26,300
but it just it makes so much sense to me when I'm reading his books why

329
00:27:26,940 --> 00:27:29,300
there's so much suffering in the world and

330
00:27:30,100 --> 00:27:36,780
a lot of people are gonna listen to this and they're gonna think that I have become deluded because there's a

331
00:27:36,780 --> 00:27:39,780
there's a there's a common thing amongst

332
00:27:41,180 --> 00:27:48,620
Religion of thinking that if anyone deviates from the norm which the norm is believing in

333
00:27:49,340 --> 00:27:55,420
God or believing in Jesus as the only God or I don't know what the norm is

334
00:27:55,580 --> 00:27:59,020
but if you deviate from whatever the

335
00:27:59,020 --> 00:28:08,580
Stated norm was if you deviate from what the authorities say is what you're supposed to believe in then people call you

336
00:28:09,460 --> 00:28:11,780
All kinds of strange things

337
00:28:11,780 --> 00:28:17,780
but the fact is that I used to be in that camp and I learned some things and so I kind of

338
00:28:18,900 --> 00:28:26,700
brushed away a little piece of my veil of ignorance and I've seen a brighter world on the other side and

339
00:28:26,700 --> 00:28:28,700
I

340
00:28:29,780 --> 00:28:34,220
Don't even know I'm gonna end the thing right now. I have no idea what I'm talking about

341
00:28:34,220 --> 00:28:38,460
I'm still trying to come up with what I'm still trying to figure out

342
00:28:39,380 --> 00:28:46,180
What this is I'm still trying to figure out what I'm even talking about. I'm trying to figure out what what life is why

343
00:28:46,700 --> 00:28:53,580
Everyone is so miserable why I'm still miserable even though not I'm not miserable. There's no here's one thing I

344
00:28:54,180 --> 00:28:55,820
was miserable

345
00:28:55,820 --> 00:29:02,260
spending hours every day doing entertainment. I am not miserable anymore a couple months ago. I was

346
00:29:02,740 --> 00:29:06,220
Extremely happy. I was humming. I was singing. I was super

347
00:29:07,100 --> 00:29:14,180
Happy, but now I'm just kind of neutral. I'm not I'm not miserable to where I was with

348
00:29:15,300 --> 00:29:18,500
Entertainment because entertainment is literally the worst thing

349
00:29:19,060 --> 00:29:21,340
humanity has invented and I'm not talking about

350
00:29:21,340 --> 00:29:29,220
Olden days entertainment. I'm talking about how we literally know ourselves and turn off our brain the very notion of

351
00:29:29,940 --> 00:29:35,100
entertainment is a good entertaining piece of content is

352
00:29:36,900 --> 00:29:43,660
Supposed to distract yourself from your reality. That's why people call some movies good

353
00:29:43,660 --> 00:29:49,820
That's why you recommend a great movie because it basically turned off your brain and you were able to completely

354
00:29:49,820 --> 00:29:54,660
Immers yourself into that experience. That is so evil

355
00:29:55,140 --> 00:30:02,580
And I don't know why but I think that there's something wrong because I used to watch entertainment all the time and listen to that stuff

356
00:30:03,140 --> 00:30:05,140
and it left me feeling

357
00:30:07,220 --> 00:30:09,220
Genuinely hurt

358
00:30:11,980 --> 00:30:18,260
But I've seen what there could be on the other side for a brief moment of time

359
00:30:18,260 --> 00:30:20,260
and I

360
00:30:21,700 --> 00:30:27,340
Don't know how to get back to it currently, but I'm on a quest to get back to it

361
00:30:27,340 --> 00:30:43,100
I'm not sure what I'm even saying. Goodbye. I
