The Problem With Hyper-Individualism

@@shotelco why not just ask them for a lift? They'd have an elevator, right?

Similarly, "Pie in the Sky" was invented by socialist unions to mock Christian capitalists (Namely, the Salvation Army) for insisting that people should put off living a life with dignity and a lack of starvation in this life to get into heaven - telling people to go without bread on earth in the hopes of getting a pie in the sky. It's now used to mock progressives for the supposed unrealistic character of their basic demands.

​@@florianruhstaller1730 I feel like you may have missed my point to begin with friend. I'm not sour or annoyed with people utilizing money to create more profits and in short "spending money to make money" - since that is the very foundation of the american system. My empathy instead goes out to the people who work extremely hard at low paying jobs because manual labor (despite its tough physical requirements) are not very well compensated because money simply makes money a lot easier than a low tier employee does. Telling such people to simply "work hard, that's the solution" is simply refusing to acknowledge that they are plain F'd in the vast majority of cases.

@@florianruhstaller1730 You are living in a bubble my friend, and i'm sorry to tell you this, but the american society would break apart completely without people working minimum wage.

@@waliddjema5442 So by your logic, you're parasiting this comment with your comment?

Reminds me of a quote by the late great Terry Pratchett: "The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example... A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time _and would still have wet feet._"

Why would you as a homeless man aspire to be a millionaire? Quite ambitious or even "greedy" aren't we? I was homeless once as well and I would of been happy just to have enough food to eat. Here's a free lesson for you, when it comes to richness, what matters is not so much how hard you work, but how much is your work valued? A mule can drag a plow all day and not earn a penny, yet an artist might sketch something in five minutes and be paid thousands for it. Should we endeavor to enrich the mule as much as the artist? That to me, would be the true joke.

@@notpublic8961 Ah yes, because as we all know, all working class people are required to not have a good vocabulary. They should all just be crude their entire lives.

@@Jimraynor45 The fact that he has more lofty goals than you did then is no reason to criticize him. Also, good luck having your hard work valued by anyone when you're homeless. A man can be employed and still be treated with unbridled contempt if he is homeless.

@@Jimraynor45 he didn't say he aspired to be a millionaire lol

@@Jimraynor45 You have proved the point of the video, it doesnt matter how hard you work.

"Hard working" is never the main factor for one's success. Just to clarify, Hard working is still necessary for one to achieve his/her goal, but since the society is promoting Hard working to a place over everything else and despite the fact that rich families have a 90% possibility to remain in the top-paying positions, it becomes the real problem.

The last sentence is based

It's not really hard work, it's mainly luck and smarts. If you happened to be in right place and time, you can get rich. If you happened to know, how to game the system, you can get rich.

People are better at working hard when their work is meaningful. People who are treated as cogs in a machine will be lazy because there is nothing to motivate them other than a paycheck.

Nobody works harder than the poor.

I believe in altruistic Individualism. The reason to good things and care about others is that ultimately how we interact with the world will affect us and the things we care about. We should innately care about the world because we wouldn’t be able to care for ourselves without it. For example, complimenting someone while you’re walking down the street may seem pointless because you may never see that person ever again but by doing so you improve that person life which may improve someone else’s life and makes the world better affecting you. No matter how insignificant it may seem, you are making the world a better place and the world is your home-so you’re making your life better.

You have to work hard if you were not providing the same opportunity as them. It's not fair, but if life was fair, the horse would ride you half the time.

Or you could complain and use it as an excuse as to why you can not improve your own life.

Rich person: "You should have negotiated with your employer for higher wages. That's how capitalism works! It's fair for everyone!" Wal-mart employee: "OK, can I have higher wages?" Rich person: "I'm firing you and replacing you with a robot."

Yup then they argue oh just get and 2 more jobs. Essentially work 24/7 just to survive.

@@longbeach225 if the minimum wage doesn't go up then I don't know how people would survive. You can't afford a crappy 1 bedroom apartment with 1 minimum wage job let alone food, utilities and healthcare. You would basically need 2 full time minimum wage jobs to support yourself.

And yet a lot of low-paid jobs are still really important. I dont want to live in a world without cleaners for example. Cleaners are very important and yet they arent paid that much

@@josephkillman5979 What I will say is really broad but sometimes working smarter is not enough, in certain extreme cases trying to work smarter means not surviving Sometimes the weight of socioeconomic factors leave you stuck to jump over the same obstacles again and again to survive -but I see what you mean

@@jocelyn9744 the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. At some point people need to realize that what they are doing is not good enough. At some point, less fortunate socioeconomic classes need to do something to break out of the cycle. I realize that this is hard for most people, that is why so few amounts of people are able to accomplish this goal before giving up.

@@josephkillman5979 I don't think many poor people are excepting better results when doing the same thing. Often it is they are working a low-wage job that takes hours out of their time in which they lack the time and resources to afford to get an education. And also that they are uneducated on how to effectively pull themselves out of poverty. My dad was unable to get another job after he had a stroke. He doesn't have that many useful skills. He doesn't know how to use the internet, he tried free classes at the library but those were not helpful without one on one help of which would cost a lot. I'm pretty sure my dad made a lot of effort to get a job when i was a kid but without my or my uncle's help, he would have never gotten a job but he still doesn't make much.

Which, ironically, are collective animals that live in tight-knit family groups that hunt as packs

Literally the least successful animals are the most individualistic - look at the difference in success between chimps and orangutans. Or between bears and coyotes. Or preying manti and ants

Individualism is a mindset contrary to the fundamental principle of society. We may as well go back to living in our own huts hunting for food. Actually, we may as well not even hunt together as family units.

wolves isn't a good mammalian analogy lol - polar bears or tigers would be better as these are completely non-social animals apart from when it comes to breeding. unlike wolves or lions which actually are pretty social animals.

*a misunderstanding of wolves created in error by a scientist that then spend decades trying to discredit his own work after he noticed the deep flaws in it that came from only looking at wolves in captivity. Imagine if all of popular understanding of psychology was based on extrapolations from one flawed study of prison gangs. It makes even less sense than that because at least those would be humans.

Agreed 👍

Thats not because of hyper-individualism or whatever imaginary BS, it is maybe because some People had a bad experiance before ((Like a Person who wanted the attention then on himself and ignored his needs.)) And if he entcounters a similar Situation again, he will react in a more "bad" way and think you would do the same thing. Something similar happens in Familys who have bad communication and/or are hurting there own Family in some way. If you grow up in such a Group of People, it can let you think that this is a normal way to communicate. Not to mention that not everyone feels the same way like you or me. Even if we would describe the same emotions, it can be different from Person to Person.

​@@your-username-here2308Literally example of individualism. The notion that "I can do it, world will just hurt me" or the "I can do it alone, how about that" and basing on flowery Hollywood films which is pushing individualism narrative too especially the "one-man army" narratives. Don't forget that many boomers that have property are commanding their offsprings to "work by the bootstraps like us" when their youth is supported by unions or government welfare unlike now lol. Hollywood and popular culture made boomers forget that.

​@@your-username-here2308Sure there are businesses that became rich with generational wealth or just hard work but remember that most of small to medium businesses have high failure rate whilst big companies receive government subsidies. So much for "working on your own bootstraps" because there is another saying, "Capitalize the profits and collectivise the losses".

I will say as someone who also has autism, sympathy and empathy are very different things and neither actually relate to the capacity to predict outcomes. I have a near inability to feel for other peoples positions but see patterns in behavior and often warn people the direction their behavior will guide, often months ahead of their thinking. I cannot empathize with many peoples decisions, just see patterns. I also have extreme difficulty reading faces. I am among these people you would probably hate because I don't like people saying that can or do empathize in part because they cannot predict the outcomes of their own decisions. When people do this I ask simply what do you suggest and their suggestions are often crap because they have not thought things through so I immediately point out the myriads of ways their logic collapses and then people think "I see you feel bad therefor I understand" but this is untrue because context changes what it means to feel bad or what it is specifically that causes things to feel bad meaning most of their suggestions and ability to simulate the why of things are actually comedically disconnected. It drives me nuts because it's not empathy, it's a god complex disgusting itself as empathy so people can feel better as if they did something. The fact that the lack of foresight is so readily apparent is proof of this, they paid no price and they "empathise" because it's the socially accepted method of "helping". I dont want empathy or sympathy, I want solutions and the actual price of solutions you will find no one will pay except you for yourself. This does not mean people cannot help, thinking and brainstorming is helpful. Sometimes people need external perspective but this is not the same thing as empathy. I often give people solutions to their problems just from prediction. 80% of people don't take my advice, the ones who do usually ended up good friends because the advice changed their life. The thing is people rarely are willing to sit and explain the entire context of all things going on across several days to provide me the information to customize an exact solution for their unique disposition. That is the price of recognizing individuals and the price is worth it. You cannot build communities of individuals on presumptions of abstract standards like empathy. I dont think empathy is impossible I think people cheapen it by assuming it to be far easier then it is. Its not "I see your in pain and I see some what in which I might feel some pain in a somewhat similar situation", its "I need to know ever specific detail necessary to understand the emotions behind each word you speak, each motion you make to begin to derive just the highest level generalizations necessary to construct solutions, once I have done this 30 times then I can make a claim to the capacity to comprehend and predict exact emotions at which point I am capable of empathy". Most people I have seen cause the greatest harm were those who most claimed their unbridled capacity for empathy. No, they were selfish using their assumed capacity to relate to assume decision making power on behalf of the other person, simultaneously insulting their agency and assuming command and when the individuals they treat like dirt resist the individual who overstepped their bounds on the presumption of empathy just treat everyone around them more like crap. Either that or their empathy is exactly what the people around them want and it turns into a positive reinforcement for unhealthy behaviors like using abuse as a proxy for gaining attention because it's all they have meaning to suggest empathy is the solution actually enforces the problem. I have solves some of the most nightmarish situations not by assuming empathy but instead pointing out patterns, clean, simple and no one expects it, it shatters their entire perspective of everything around them and terminates negative patterns of behavior. No empathy or sympathy required. This does not mean I do not care about people or situations but recognizing the actual price of an actual relationship makes it obvious why it's only possible to have 5 or 6 real friends and everyone else you simply do not have the time to acknowledge to the full extent so everyone is stuck making risk assessments, not at the inherent expense of others. You just make risks that are least likely to cause damage in the long run using pattern recognition which means you will make many enemies and many allies but not because you always know who these people will be, just because that is all you can do. There is no existential collective, just statistical probability while you wander through the unknown. This does not mean life is not entertaining or the people you meet are not worth time or consideration, its simply finite beings managing their finite experience and perspective to the greatest extent possible. I assume far more evil out of those who assume empathy is always the solution because they are playing god whether they know it or not. That's why it's so easy to assume a universalist assumption like collective experience is an acceptable approach to people who hate individualism. Individualism is not an argument against communities, it defines human limitation so there are no laws or rules which are allowed to presume or eliminate consideration for individual perspective. This is not the same as saying abandon the poor, the individual is above geographic, proximity or statistical trends. It only says you cannot make rules which prevent the individual from bypassing their current limitations and their limitations and perspective of these things is individual. This is why censorship doesn't work, people think language is separate from individual lexicon and thus make completely legitimate perspectives or use of language within certain contexts illegal, criminalizing individual context as a concept not understanding to control language presumes that level of God hood. And again I point out the ones who make this kind of grandiose mistake the most are the ones who most claim the capacity for empathy. My experience, 99% of people neither understand or would pay the actual price of empathy not because they are evil but because it is something finite beings have to choose very very very carefully out of concern for objective limitiations.

I have never heard it explained that way before but that describes it so perfectly!

That’s because hyper-individualism actually leads to hyper-conformity.

Probably to do with libertarianism: The creation of a Libertarian Most Libertarians begin life as a spoiled upper-middle class and very white teen who fails to comprehend that not everyone else in the world is a spoiled upper-middle class white teen. At first, the young libertardian-to-be has only a vague dissatisfaction. He begins to ask himself questions like: * "What political philosophy can I both bastardize and miss the point of, so that I can justify being an even more selfish prick than I am now?" * "How can I reconcile that I hate those who I deem aren't productive, with the fact that I don't need a job because daddy gives me a generous allowance?" * "Why do we even need government? Surely almost seven billion people can all police themselves, right?" The answer comes to them in two little words. Ayn Rand. Never has her words spread so far, and contaminated so many. With sixth-grade level vocabulary, and fourth-grade level philosophy, Rand's book have all the emotional depth of a two-year old's temper tantrum. "MINE!!!" Rand is their holy prophet. She speaks the words so perfectly, the words they want to hear. "You don't lack compassion! You just want people to get by on their own merits!", She says. "You're not a selfish asshole! You just have a sense of rational self-interest!", She affirms. "You have no obligation to the society in which you live! Governments are only there to lift up those not as good as you!", She declares. And lo, it was good. Because if there is one thing that makes financially comfortable white people feel good about themselves, it is that they earned the benefits of being financially comfortable, clearly by their own merits. It wasn't daddy's money that bought you your head start in life. It wasn't the better schools, the better nutrition, the better neighborhoods. It wasn't the country you were born in, or the system of laws that protected and to this day protects you.

The thing is people fail to realize even if THEY were able to achieve something, it doesn't mean everyone can do that. In fact, it's impossible for all of them to do that. The system we live in needs some to be poor. That's a fact. Did some of these people ever think 'well, what if i didn't have the aptitude to enter the career path I went on?' I know people who came from working class, or lower middle as you put it - and who went onto to achieve STEM careers. That's great, but not everyone is going to do that, not everyone is suited to it. People do believe it makes them better than others. The most infuriating I heard once was someone actually saying out of work 55 year old factory workers should learn to fucking code. Yeah, because if you spent the first 5 decades of your life without any significant knowledge of computers that'll be just that easy. IF coding was such a common skill....it wouldn't be worth much in the job market. That's point, eventually skills like this won't be worth what it is now. What will be the next thing everyone should learn to do to avoid poverty?

I enjoy your post...don't always agree with you but very good to listen....I immigrated to this country with nothing. Started below minimum wage.suffered through oppressive employers that wanted to keep me down with unbelievable measures. I tolerated it all so I could learn the trade...with integrity, hard work and tough lessons of ups and down I have built two business over the years and employed various individuals giving them the opportunity to do the same as I did .I have seen all sorts: the lazy , the entitled and the hard working. some succeed, some gave up and others we just satisfied just being... I believe it is definitely a combination of both side of the debate that will bring success opportunity and hard work. And ultimately the blessings of The Almighty.

The first sentence is true. But it is simply counterproductive to relieve yourself of any responsibility for your life. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locus_of_control

@@user-jh5dq9vc1v He's not saying putting ALL of the responsibility on others for an individual's lot in life but putting ALL of the responsibility on the individual is just as if not more absurd and ignores reality.

Thats not true. Because it boils down to ""Group A wants to be better then the others.""

Being "the best" is entirely feasible, and a goal worth investing in. But, you have to acknowledge that an unseen hierarchy exists, and your "best" may never be better than someone elses best. "The person who will thrive the most, knows their place in the hierarchy, and plays their role." This is psychologically provable when considering burnout and rust out. People operating below capacity experience a phenomenal called rust out. People operating above capacity experience a phenomenon called burnout. Hypothetically, there is a place where everyone is optimally engaged, and thrive in their engagements.

I'm saying it's possible to be your own person and your individual self without tearing others down or the world to do it. And that the things humans have agreed are some of our best achievements were often group efforts. Along with the common idea that tearing others down to be "the best" is usually seen as morally reprehensible. A small example being the classic mean girl or rich boi stereotypes and archetypes who's competitive to get top marks via sabotage or bullying towards those doing better than them, and a large example being domineering colonialists using war tactics and assault to prove they are "the best" culture--even if their way of life is far more destructive and harmful short and long term. Both are generally seen as not-okay in most literature and conversation, unless someone is really fucked up or ignorant of how cruel the group A is. Just because group A wants to be better than the others doesn't mean they are, or that it is a morally righteous goal. Depending on the competition and how they go about it. (It's fine to want to be the best, but tearing others down to do it isn't good. There's something called "good sportsmanship". You can be disappointed without being an ass.) Also I'm stating an opinion on how I see the world and what seems to be true in most cases for humans, not a fact, so saying "that's not true" doesn't really apply, imo.@@your-username-here2308

Good comment

I feel you and I've been there with you, Jean. Even if you embrace hyper-individualism, you soon find out it's a very exclusive club, only those with the right credentials are allowed in.

Even if you did make some bad choices in your life, that shouldn't determine your fate forever. Everyone deserves the chance to fuck up a few times because we're human. Rich people have space to make massive mistakes and still bounce back fine, but for poor people it follows you forever, and then everyone uses it as justification for why you can't get ahead later in your life.

There's no amount of "work" you could do or could have done to alleviate your situation. While I won't tell you it's utterly hopeless, I would tell you that the odds are long. Through no fault of your own. We have been victimized by the greatest misinformation and propaganda campaign of all time. We were told that this was a meritocracy and that all men are created equal. That was a lie. All one has to do is ask any African American or any other ethnic minority living in this country or check the history of this country to know that it is a lie. The status of "middle class" is an illusion; an aberration of this country's political and economic history. FDR in his efforts to save capitalism from itself, created with his New Deal programs an economic class (primarily composed of white people) that were rescued from complete destitution and poverty in order to keep them from overturning the existing establishment. As Lincoln pursued the Civil War for practical reasons ( preserving the union) rather than for altruistic ones, FDR saved capitalism from completely collapsing. And even with that, the ruling class have been clawing back all the gains since then. Until Americans become completely disenchanted with racism and capitalism and work towards true change, then, nothing will change until the U.S. is totally drained or collapses.

@@Dachusblot spot on. I was just about to say this. Rich people have SO much wiggle room for error. They can just buy themselves out of situations that would otherwise break a poor person.

@Affirmative Action Even hermits have/had parents.

@Affirmative Action The point I'm making is there's no such thing as independence. We depend on others and are not free from the influence of others. Even some one raised by wolves in your example was dependent on the mercy of people leaving them alone.

There’s nothing wrong with individualism because at the end of the day we are individuals and there are certain things we need to be mindful of ourselves. But there’s also a reason human beings survive and thrive better in a society, so at a certain point or for certain things, rugged individualism can actually become a threat to your own safety and well-being and that of the rest of the group. The point is to try and balance the hyper individualism from the hyper collectivism and find the middle ground where you can react to things on an individual level but you also have the ability to be able to react to things to help the entire group as well. People who don’t want the group or actively hate well get to make their own decisions, they will also live a harder life than they need to. Again, there’s a reason human beings evolved to live in groups, because we are pretty weak and ineffective and easy pickings on our own. 200,000 years of evolution and history proves it.

To them it’s a form of mental strength to be able to cut every one off and step on people.

Yeah, we have ego and some level of individuality, so we're not like the extreme of collectivism; see ants. But we also cooperate and live in society, so we're not like bacteria that survive and reproduce alone and have perfect competition. So where do we stand?

@@MAxAMILLIoN757 I wish I knew how to even begin answering those questions coherently. My two pence is, we can avoid becoming zealots by embracing tolerance (of those who do not intend to inflict harm upon us), and also comparing our principles with the results they bear. Since we are both self-interested and partially altruistic, I'd personally argue that people should be left free to find their own balance, in their own way. I'm sure others would come to very different conclusions though.

@@MUSTASCH1O So a bear is individualistic. It has ego, so it competes and is selfish, it is independent with no support. If something goes wrong, it pays the price in full. Survival of the fittest. On the other end, there's ants. They're extremely collectivist. They have support structures, but if something goes wrong, they sacrifice themselves for the greater good. There's no room for any form of ego (sense of self, selfishness, competition, etc.) or else the colony doesn't work. They are essentially drones. This ignores the fact they unconditionally serve the queen, which is interesting... So those are the two extremes. And anywhere in between just has problems of both with less intensity, but there's always the suffering. There's always the perceived problems, and so there's no solution. So basically pick your poison.

@@MAxAMILLIoN757 Yes, the average human lies somewhere between those two extremes, and there is variation between individuals too. There is therefore no perfect system that can alleviate one person's suffering without causing suffering of some magnitude to another person. We can get closer over time though, as evidenced by the overall improvement in human wellbeing through history. Pick your poison, but try not to force it down others' throats is what I'd say.

I think you don't understand his entire point, and are just shit on actual refute any of his. First, the "woman" aspect: - This is more about culture than anything else. If a culture is matriarch before heading into the modern world, then women will have more leading roles in the economy. Similarly with partriach society. This can clearly being seen in Vietnam and a lot of other SEA nations, which have a vastly dual patriarch/matriarch culture before becoming Western colonies. They are distinctly different than the Chinese confucant culture of strictly patriarch society and the involvement of women in the economy at large from both these case are basically night and day, with most SEA nations having equal woman involvement in the economy with outright homegrown small business and such being ran by woman, while man adopt a more social role of negotiations and speech within the society. In fact, in most of these countries, it is the wife that kept the household funds in the family and the husband doing social networking and jobs, which is a clear distinction from the Chinese predominantly male working force. This leads me to believe that man and woman are equal and most of the "studies" never actually address the cultural impact that these distinctions are made. Which means it's not really the system, but the cultural difference that led to this. And for the "black people being incarcerated more". Is it even important once you actually put a microscope at it, and seeing outright racism from the police and the "affirmative action" that is only there to turn Black neighborhood into ghettos, with the "war on drugs" outright being there to round up the leftist hippies and the black people, with the CIA pumping in drugs into the community? It's when you examine the calculator, that you start seeing that it doesn't calculate 20+20=40, but 20+(20)=34. This is when you rage, because you actually examine the calculator, and actually FOUND it broken. Your line of thoughts has always been there to gaslight people, because it's easier to just look at the surface and assuming that nothing is broken. But that means you have to assume, and It's not scientific in a slightest.

@@angquangnguyenthac2833 The only one making assumptions is you. There could be widespread racism causing black incarceration rates, but there is no evidence for it. You're arguments are almost entirely anectdotal, if you don't know what that means, it's taking one event you are familiar with and drawing broad conclusions based on that single event. A common example is videos or events of police brutality against blacks leading to the conclusion that the police core is racist, and because the police core is part of the system the system is also racist. Then ignoring the many events of police injustice against latinos, whites and native americans that don't gain as much tracktion in the media, and thus scewing their view of reality, since it's entirely built on anecdotes and face values, instead of evidence. Interestingly, two black researchers studied wether police treated black people differently than whites, on seperate occassions and in seperate studies. They were both expecting to find racism, instead the results showed that the police avoided violence and conflict with black people in larger amounts than with whites, because they either consciously or subconsciously knew that if they shot a black person and the video went viral, they might be fired and hated by the nation. So the research actually conducted and not based on anecdotal evidence showed the police were indeed racist. Against whites. The calculator shows one thing but is ignored because racism is already "proven" through several anicdotes such as george floyd. And as for your point on culture, i'm not read on Vietnamese culture och gender divisions, but regardless there are divisions. And the example you give is also an anecdote, not science, not research. There are exceptions in history where societies have been more matriarchal than others, but that is not because of equality, but because of societal norms driving women away from human's standard heirarchical behaviour. Nature precipitates culture, and culture is almost always based on nature, except when we force it another way. That is why research that by the way is based on a study made that has thousands of citations (which basically makes it an instant classic) and was conducted by left leaning social scientists, shows that when culture takes a back seat, unlike in vietnam, we revert to natural gender divisions. That males are dominant and in charge is true for 9999.999% of primate 'tribes' and societies. You should make less anecdotes and take a look at what being a scientist actually means. The calculator isn't broken, you are.
