Why everything is F*cked | Mark Manson 

Perhaps the issues are just getting more amplified and extreme as it is harder to grab the attention of each younger generation?

@@marcblank3036or maybe just the internet and social media make it seem that way.

Mr Yates. I think you are correct.

@@Kraftpunk1983vc it is the puppetering by the elite from those platforms made easy by disinterested and poorly educated masses

Go to Zion and ask about what will happen next

my thoughts exactly..i for sure think less of these guys now after that petty bashing. definitely strayed away from what they preach and showed their true colors.

It’s sad. Today, it seems like if you’re successful, in life, school or business, or you do well for yourself and make alot of money, you gotta hide that. Instead of being proud of you, or inspired by your success, you’re villainized, and people want to bring you down. If you’re the victim, everyone praises how brave you are. And I’m saying this in regards to the more over the top ways. If you’re a true victim of something, then yes, you should be supported, 100%. But if someone accidentally misgenders you, or says your name wrong, that persons social life shouldn’t be ended.

​​​@@Q-154 This attitude comes from people such as myself who have busted their butt for years or decades, played by the rules, was a good boy, tried their hardest just to have another person or group of people systematically destroy for personal/selfish reasons. And I know what Mark Manson would tell me, "take responsibility, accept what you can't change, blah blah blah." I'm so HAPPY people like Mark and other wealthy/happy/successful people have it all figured out and that their hard work paid off. That isn't feasible for most people. Most people are miserable while struggling and are one day away from destitution or suicide. So yes, in a society of poor, suffering people the well off/ happy/ successful people should stay out of sight and keep to their happy selves.

This is also a sociological norm. In some ways, sociology is psychology playing out en masse. The psychology of trauma suggests that the needle often moves beyond the center before it returns to a more practical ( or reasonable, fair, insert your word of choice) place. But the 'moral outrage' is often an inherent part of the process. We live in single lifetimes, and these things often play out for a portion of those lifetimes. When we look back at the arc of history we can see things with a different perspective. I was an adult when Ellen's sitcom was cancelled for her coming out. I was a teenager when (in NYC, not the deep south somewhere) my neighbors gathered together to burn down a house to keep a black family from moving in. I have a son with a disability, and we deal almost daily with the injustices and inequalities that society visits on that community. I do see the same self-victimization, and over identification that you do - and I agree that social media is leveraged to make it worse. I'm not suggesting it's not there. I just think it is part of a longer process. Realization often needs time for integration. Wounds need time to heal. Our societal self awareness is running in parallel to our individual self awareness in a way it has never been able to before.

@@jimbrennan6634 I’m curious, around what year was this and what ended up happening with the house burning?

@@keithode1737 I’m sorry you feel that way. Hopefully you can change your outlook someday. Can’t say much more because I don’t have exact specifics of what you did or didn’t do, but I can understand the sentiment.

Greed is the biggest cause of everything that's wrong in society

Absolutly

It’s post trump, not post pandemic.

@@az55544 don't be an ass, this is a worldwide phenomenon. Not everything revolves around the US nor politics only.

@@az55544 you can be truth, but we’ll try put politics away of this discussion. Remember.. leave toxicity. Politicians are the cancer of society nowadays. Don’t let then make you front a friend.

Take all of my money

and Robert Greene

This would be legendary!

Shame on you!

Great "Good Place" reference.

Early Jordan is great, when he sticks to psychology and self improvement, he went completely off the rails after his stint in rehab and subsequent fame. He just went on some ridiculous quest against things he didn't agree with and became incoherent.

So is that a good or bad thing?

Bad and lazy. Especially didn't expect it from him. Sounds like a 20 year old girl from cali.

but like

I noticed that too.He needs to work on that

@@xeftones hahahaha that's bad?

Yeah that was a sad display of Ryan talking out of his ass

Yup. Ryan’s confidence and credulousness about the most controversial and unsettled topics is plainly more worthy of condemnation than anything I heard from the so-called IDW.

Very true. I guarantee you those people had far less worries too.

Agreed. Great conversation. Does listen to the haters. Truly inspired ❤

Gross.

I agree! He is judging Jordan Peterson. I thought stoics didn’t do that

Peterson is a grifter. Stoics seek to exercise good judgment. Platforming Jordan Peterson would be poor judgment

thankthankthank

I think it will end up being, in a split, save the person in the car. I only say that because nobody's gonna buy the car with the protocol that sacrifices the driver/rider. At least until there are formal regulations, like maybe a randomizer lol.

@@markoates9057 I agree that manufacturers will default to protecting the people in the car, which is why regulators will need to step in to enforce a more ethical decision making process, which in most cases would be that the people in the car are sacrificed.

To assume that evil doesn't exist is to pretend that good is irrelevant. Act as if you cannot afford to assume anything, including making absolute statements. If you don't believe in evil, then perhaps you have simply not suffered enough to recognize it through choices that inflict unnecessary pain and injury upon others.

@@urban_phantom7750 Absolution is exactly seeing good and bad, black and white, like there's some surgical precision between those two. You don't have a clue what I have suffered in my life, so please, if anything, stop making blind judgments based on your projections.

@@maboleth : Suit yourself, but don't waste my time with your absolute statements about anything, and then expect to be taken seriously. If you don't believe in Evil, go visit the front line of Ukraine, or spend time in Gaza. It's not an act of nature killing people, it's a choice to be cruel and destructive or kind and compassionate that is made by human beings. We are agents of good or evil relative to those who are impacted by virtue of our decisions.

Yeah, that's a bad look for Ryan

Getcha some dopa
