Hearted Youtube comments on Alex Wei (@official_awei) channel.

  1. Just got an "AI-generated video summary" right below the youtube video šŸ’€
    34000
  2. I remember seeing it put succinctly: I wanted AI to do my boring tasks while I get to draw and write. But all these companies are doing is developing AI to draw and write while I still do all the boring tasks.

  3. Welcome to our world! I'm a translator of over 40 years who lost my job to AI in 2018. When I say "I", I mean everyone who used to make a living translating. Just as people didn't care about us, they won't care about you. Sad but true.
    13000
  4. I hate that all of this is happening when it's my turn to be an adult
    13000
  5. Imagine you dropped this 5 years ago. We would all consider it one of those sci-fi videos.
    11000
  6. AI articles have been the reason I started buying books again. I go online looking for good, accurate, nuanced information, and get a bunch of long meandering articles full of shallow repetitive junk and misleading information. As soon as I detect I'm reading an AI article, I basically blacklist the entire site it's a part of. Damn waste of my time when I'm trying to learn something.
    9000
  7. The email was passive aggressive asf. People have no empathy nowadays
    8300
  8. How convenient, an AI summary for this video so that I can give you even LESS income.
    6700
  9. Iā€™ve been working as a 3D modeler for over ten years and have done hundreds of commissions. Over time, Iā€™ve watched the game industry pipeline slowly fall apart. Last year, more and more clients started sending me AI-generated concept art, skipping the need to hire professional concept artists. Now, some of them are even giving me AI-generated 3D models to tweak for way less money. Honestly, I feel like Iā€™m next on the chopping block. Once AI models get good enough at retopologyā€”which might just be a few months awayā€”Iā€™m probably out of the game too.
    6600
  10. as an artist myself, generative ai makes me incredibly upset with how casual people and corporations are about ai usage. im sending you my best wishes
    5900
  11. As an artist what makes me angry is that thereā€™s a lot of people supporting Ai, and not just that but people who never bothered to be creative before Ai now claim to be artists, writers, musicians, etcā€¦ And no one cares about the people that actually love these fields because creativity was never valued enough. The rest of the world will only worry when Ai starts affecting other industries and their jobs.
    5100
  12. I realized Andrew Tate went from hustling women to hustling men
    4300
  13. I hate how a lot of people are treating you shittily over something out of your control
    4000
  14. Graphic artist/illustrator here - moved entirely to fine art (painting) as I have not found a job in my field for about a year now. Even the freelance jobs are just ... not there.
    3700
  15. AI is useful for brainstorming, but anything generated by it feels soulless and lacks individuality. The only thing I use AI for is grammar and spelling correction.
    3300
  16. im a starbucks barista that got my math degree this year with the intentions of being a teacher and I blame AI for my disinterest in education. I saw my education peers making lesson plans with AI, and it just felt like the kids were being taught by the AI, only for the kids to use AI to make their work easier. There's no teaching between humans in some classrooms now its just AI everywhere.
    3200
  17. ā€œI used to want to be the next hamza, but now I just want to be the first meā€ real
    3200
  18. imagine if thereā€™s also an ai summary of this video
    3100
  19. I think an imminent problem of this is that, if you keep replacing people with AI and force them to change fields (which requires going back to studying) or just take lower paying jobs, then who's gonna pay for your stuff? If an increasing chunk of the population is making less and less money, and then you factor in inflation and recession, then this is a bullet train going full speed towards a precipice. Millennials having less purchasing power than previous generations has been a known issue for over a decade now, and I feel this trends of replacing as many jobs as possible with AI is just going to make things so much worse until it inevitably crashes to the ground.
    3100
  20. If a human didn't write it, why should a human read it?
    2900
  21. As a physics major, I had my ā€œwanna be geniusā€ phaseā€¦I crashed and burned exactly like this. Best thing ever.
    2800
  22. We got A.I. stealing jobs before GTA VI.
    2700
  23. I feel your pain. A third of my department was let go the past year because of AI. As the tech gets better and better I fear I may be next. My parents' basement is looking mighty inviting right now and I'm over 30....
    2600
  24. I really hate how corporations are so quick to replace people with AI to save money, our future is concerning
    2500
  25. Still waiting for a Tate student to stand outside his millionaire home with 3 bugattis & a ferrari telling the world Tate's course gave him this....
    2400
  26. "You can't even call yourself smart if you're not smart enough to make yourself healthy and happy" šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„ I got sick a lot in college and didn't get sick once when I hiked the Appalachian Trail even though I was cold and wet and physically exhausted all the time. Nature is poggers!
    2000
  27. ā€œNo human being was meant to live the way I was raisedā€ ā€¦.me and you both brother. Iā€™m sorry for your suffering.
    1600
  28. Like that one woman somewhere said - "I want AI to do my dishes and laundry so i can make art, i dont want AI to draw my art while i do dishes and laundry"
    1500
  29. Early on, the redpill seemed a lot more philosophical and level-headed. Like many things, what started as a sincere and genuine set of ideas got coopted by grifters looking to cash in on an idea that went mainstream.
    1500
  30. It's important to call out "AI" for what it truly is: data tabulator and derivate. Videos such as this one are important to get these opinions heard. "AI" can never truly replace the human soul, especially in creative fields. Just recently, I stumbled upon a web app where the slogan was "Fire your photographer". I found it amusing because this year in 2025 I am going to launch a photography business(NOT ADVERTISING JUST A STATEMENT) . I'll still go through it despite trending "AI". So what if "AI" defeats every human at efficiency? There's more to life than being efficient. They will bet their entire life savings to make "AI" work, but at the end of the day, the results will not be innovative. "AI" is not even the right tool for the creative fields.
    1400
  31. Talent is like a seedling, water it too little and it will shrivel up water it too much and will drown.
    1300
  32. The Asian parent stereotype is always joked about online but itā€™s a serious physical and mental struggle for a lot of kids
    1300
  33. Bro deserves more veiws to replace his job
    1200
  34. are you plotting your revenge
    1000
  35. A friend of mine was working for the largest podcast network in the USA (if you think you know them, you probably do). Huge company, massively profitable already - last year they laid of 70% of their video and audio editing staff. Hundreds of well-paid technical jobs, replaced by 2-3 pieces of AI software.
    986
  36. just put the fries in the bag

  37. Man, the other day I was doing a school project, and part of it was to make an artistic piece, and I was looking forward to do it, but both the kids in my group and my teacher insisted on using AI art instead. We got into a huge argument over it, and they told me "AI art was better than any other artist, and anyone who thinks they can do better is an egotist" and literally everyone agreed on that except for me. To add insult to injury, they then complained that I wasn't helping them on the project despite them literally giving AI my job in the group. If this is the shit we're dealing with now, only a miracle could save us from this slimy icky AI shit. I used to support AI, and to an extent I still do, (When its being used ethically) like for example a streamer I love "DougDoug" who uses AI tools in an ethical way to make really fun streams that wouldn't be possible under other circumstances, but as of right now I'm just really fucking concerned, people are just taking a cool thing and using it to hurt people, and as far as I'm aware the majority of people don't see any problem with it, especially now when I'm almost out of high school and am beginning to want to work in art, which is the only career path I find joy in doing, and I'm not ready to compromise for anything less, but at this point I feel like there's nothing left to do but pray. Futures really does seem to be made of Virtual Insanity...
    921
  38. AI is one of the worst advancements to happen imho. Iā€™m an aspiring artist so I understand exactly how you feel. I will never stop doing art because itā€™s also part of my identity. Iā€™m not a working artist and am thankful I have a solid non-art job. I also enjoyed writing when I was much younger and did want to try my hand at freelance writing.
    920
  39. from Heisenberg's uncertainty to career Uncertainty.
    917
  40. When my son graduated from a suburban Dallas, TX high school in a class of 1,600, the valedictorian said in his speech all he did was study for four years and he was miserable. He said if he could do it over, heā€™d play sports and have a social life.
    899
  41. We shouldn't adapt, we should fight. We didn't ask for this, and ai servers create mass amounts of pollution, so we don't really have the option to just give up on the internet and appreciate nature.
    890
  42. From Einstein to Einstein's (bagels)
    889
  43. I used to work in a company that installed large screens and smart boards in government buildings, schools and aero-space industry facilities. When we were working in the Boeing building in California, one of the installers that was working with me told me it was time for lunch, and he would take me to the cafeteria. He seemed to know his way around the building really well, so I asked him how he knew where everything was. He told me that he used to work in the building...for 20 years. He told me that he had a degree from USC in aero-space engineering and had worked on satellite systems for Boeing for two decades. Same small parts of a particular satellite year after year. He said one day he had an "Office Space" moment and realized men weren't made to work in cubicles and he walked into his supervisor's office and quit on the spot and left to never return, until this project. He said he was far happier working as an installer/construction, and it saved his mental health.
    887
  44. it's shame that self-improvement is now synonymous to toxic productivity or in this worst case straight up hurtful nonsense. we need to make self-improvement about improving yourself again as in actually developing your body, mind and spirit, not about how to be the biggest asshole possible. if these influencers focused on improving humanity through improving individuals, mere mundane/material success wouldn't lose but gain them followers.
    824
  45. Ai is making me worry about the future. Im in college right now and i have no idea what should i do after graduating.
    778
  46. Nah man, you'll be alright.
    766
  47. From joules to calories brutal
    738
  48. I get feeling lost. Iā€™m currently at a top college rn in the USA, but thereā€™s still this looming feeling in the back of our minds that by the time we get our degrees the job will have already been replaced by ai or so rapidly changed that what we learning from the start uni is useless. Then you realize that youā€™ll also be going into debt too for no clear reward. I just feels like the start of the end of the white collar sector and a massive wave of gen z underemployed workers.
    728
  49. The fast pace of modern life, high demands of living costs, societal expectations to live and be a certain way. Normalizing being stressed all the time. How much more blinded can we get?
    727
  50. It's strange that YT would push AI summaries, which could decrease watch time, when is it in their monetary interest to keep people watching for as long as possible to serve ads
    682
  51. Dude I just love physics and math. Thatā€™s why I want my degree. Just started my AS at community college. If I can get a job then cool, but I just love it, so much. It gives me purpose.
    680
  52. As an artist, I'm finding it strangely satisfying to watch all the AI bros that stole so much from the creative people of the world -- and then acted like they were entitled to it all -- start crying about also being made irrelevant (and their work potentially stolen) by the very tech they were developing. This is some beautiful chaos. It's like watching the sky on fire and deciding to just grab popcorn because we're all in the same boat in the end.
    535
  53. This is the paradox of maximum efficiency that is starting to play out. In the long run this is going to be detrimental to society, and civilization as whole.
    529
  54. Got a Bachelors in Graphic design and now am studying cinema. This rise of ai just makes think Im never going the employed doing what i love man.
    524
  55. I graduated from UCLA and was selected a Rhodes scholar. Now delivering food for a living and living on my own terms
    506
  56. That sucks you lost your position to AI, but I'm not surprised because a lot of companies are using AI to complete tasks, especially customer service. In the past month, when I've used the chat feature, it doesn't hide it being AI bot. The AI claims to know the answer, but then it admits it is confused and finally connects me to a person
    497
  57. Beautiful story brother. Deserves to be heard and spread.
    471
  58. i like the irony of this being one of the only videos ive seen that has an ai generated summary, good luck man.
    461
  59. 15:10 ā€œBut if you make money, and you enjoy it, then who gives a fuck?ā€ Words to live by
    423
  60. Does anyone else get pissed off how humanity is falling apart to some shitty ass ai and no one seems to care like why the fuck are they supporting it
    400
  61. i just started my job into freelance writing and art. this is genuinely terrifying. art, writing, that's my passion, that's what i want to do with my life. if i don't have that, what is my purpose in life? i don't really want to do anything else, i want to make and create. is my life over before it's even begun?
    391
  62. Anyone who studies physics is a brave one, that stuff is no joke, especially at a college like Michigan. Nice job on completing such a degree!
    388
  63. Well... what if I told you really that the quality of AI writing is absolute garbage? The issue is the ghost in the machine effect. LLMs are just very complex search tools. They are trained on large amounts of data and then pruned/quantized to make inference just good enough to seem plausible. I grade undergraduate papers, as one of my side gigs is working as an adjunct professor. I tell my students that they should never use LLMs to write their paper and that I will catch them easily if they do. LLMs can generate good ideas as they are advanced search engines, but you must critically examine each and every sentence. My worry is that AI used to be a very intellectual discipline and now it is clearly not. The old pioneers of AI, especially GOFAI, were so well-rounded and well-read. Now we just have a bunch of obnoxious script kiddies who want to reach the next spot on the leaderboard. Hardly any of them probably read a serious book or have any substantial thoughts anymore... So then why can writers be replaced by AI. Well, the aims of reading have changed. We, as a society, do not read for understanding. We read to consume information and search for the answer to a question. A LLM can easily answer questions (though often wrong), but it will never generate understanding. To gain understanding requires a critical appraisal of possible answers and a proper understanding of the "gestalt" of the body of knowledge on any given subject. As I am older than you, my best advice is to have a job that requires only a small percentage of your time and energy. Don't go above and beyond. It is not worth it. Invest your time in acquiring more knowledge, money, and skills in areas that interest you. Only do what you truly enjoy, and build the resources you need to accomplish your goals. I am currently going down this path and I've been happier than ever!
    382
  64. smaller self improvement creators always seem to be the most genuine, great video!
    382
  65. In high school, I was jealous of the Asian students who did well in school. Even when many complained about their parents being toxic or were toxic people themselves, I didn't take it seriously and wished that my (white Russian) parents were more like their Chinese/Indian parents. Listening to this video, I realize the toll it takes on many of you. I have only sympathy for you guys and hope you feel better and have more agency over your life
    378
  66. i really resonate with this video. I'm currently studying bioengineering (masters) at a decently prestigious university, trying to specialize in neural engineering. The past few weeks of jobs have really made me regret not choosing just a traditional engineering major in undergrad, but also regretting my decisions to not attend even informal events like meetups, hackathons, lunches, etc. just so that I could build my network. Obviously you have to be a qualified and skillful worker, especially with the competition getting fiercer each hiring cycle. It's just weird not having connections and feeling so lonely/devoid of hope in an age where everyone is so well connected
    334
  67. Sorry to hear that. To quote South Park, "They took our jobs!"
    326
  68. I dropped out of my master's in physics 8 years ago, because of a breakup (my first girlfriend at the time), I almost died afterwards because I fell into a severe depression, being unemployed, I spent most of my time in my room, and one day I had caught a nasty flu or rather something related to the lungs, which made me stay in bed for like 2 weeks. Tbh I had the force to stand up but I just didn't want to because I was very depressed, and that just destroyed my whole body. I still can't fathom what exactly happened, maybe it was the sudden weight loss, but it started a demonic spiral, my whole body began aching, especially in my back, from the very moment I woke up and all day, and it lasted for a whole year like that. Fortunately my parents weren't that severe with me and they reached out to help me as they could, but I could see that I was seen as a failure for staying at home without anything to do for months and nothing to even aim at. My physical health deteriorated to the point where it became a wake up call, though. The whole social situation began to fade in the back as I was just fearing literally for my life for a while. I just wanted to escape this daily torture and I found an escape after applying and being accepted in some software engineering conversion program. At the time those conversion bootcamps were very new here in France so I jumped in one and slowly but surely, that's how I managed to regain some health, both mentally and physically. Some would say that it's not the best outcome, and software engineering is also known for generating burnouts, but my experience after dropping out was so traumatizing that I just felt lucky to be in the race again. I sometimes feel like my whole journey in physics was just a waste of time, but in reality it helped me a ton, especially for learning pretty much anything. It could have been way worse. I can't really relate with the toxic social pressure coming from parents, mine were not that toxic and tyrannical. However I did feel the pressure not to disappoint them, and I fell into the trap of emprisoning my identity within the cage of these studies. Without these studies I wasn't worth anything, at least that's how I pictured myself, and I had to lose it all to realize that I could rebuild myself up from scratch without it.
    320
  69. Canā€™t wait for the DeepSeek summary of the Google summary of the video
    318
  70. We aren't humans, we are animals. Not meant to be caged and confined to isolation and routine.
    312
  71. ā€œLet us assume spherical french friesā€¦ā€
    297
  72. I used to do some academic editing on the side, and the amount of work coming in really shrank after Chatgpt came out. At the time I wasn't too concerned since I had a day job, but I got laid off recently, and coming back to the job search, all my former income streams from freelancing a few years ago (editing, writing, translation) have either dried up or are paying actual peanuts. These were never high-paying gigs to begin with, but it feels like there's no viable entry point back into them now. Time to move on to something else I guess šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø
    296
  73. had the same childhood. I'm glad we survived brother.
    290
  74. man screw ai. the very existence of it is probably gonna ruin my dream programmer job which ive been heavily looking forward to. its like its out for all of us, but its great to know you have other sources of income atleast.
    278
  75. Relateable. Im black not asian but its the same tree different color. High pressure to succeed strong identification with academics, top school, study physics burnout then try again. I liked physics but had a warped view of it and what it was /what i could do-- it wasnt worth the mental health so i switched majors junior/senior year and then left school. Happy you got to step back from that and live your life. Physical, mental and emotional health>>> Career or white collar job so hope things are goin well for you and that you are able to engage both the ups and the downs well!!
    268
  76. I feel ya! I have been fired, for no reason. I have a feeling that AI is going to sweep a lot of areas. The Voice actors in many of the video games are having a difficult time negotiating their contracts to keep AI, from copying their voices and using them for free! It is scary! You take care!
    258
  77. We need an ai summary to summarize another ai summary
    254
  78. I can relate to this. I'm Asian myself and during my high school summers, I used to take every summer course possible to get ahead of others just to feel good of being ahead. It didn't make much of a difference at the end of the day because when school started, I was half-way burnt out already.
    253
  79. Iā€™m kinda lucky I have Asian parents that donā€™t get mad if I have bad grades unless i get like a 0 on a test which I wouldnā€™t get,but I get to pick activities I want to do
    242
  80. I am a software engineer, and it's coming after my job too. šŸ˜…
    222
  81. I ask my father about his perspective and opinion of Ai. In summary, he said, ā€œAi is just a tool to make peopleā€™s job easier. Not chip brain implication or brain replacer.ā€ Ai cannot replicate human emotions and soul. They are impossibly complex.
    216
  82. u aint ugly bro tf
    214
  83. the ai pictures r killing me
    210
  84. Lost a job to ai, lost a video to ai, got a new job from ai šŸ˜‚
    208
  85. From ā€œIā€™d rather live alone in the desert than work a 9 to 5 jobā€ to ā€œI might have to work in McDonaldā€™sā€ šŸ˜¢
    207
  86. Similar to you, Iā€™m an outcast Latino guy who was always praised for being smart (learned Latin, Greek, Old English, math, chemistryā€”Iā€™m trying to become a chemist) so i long developed an affinity for academics. I realized from an early age though that I didnā€™t want to live like most Latinosā€”working all their lives, not having money, not doing anything other than work, etc. I hope to earn enough money to buy land in an isolated region of Arizona to settle there in the middle of nature.
    202
  87. I can relate to this part where you said, "all the other kids playing and having fun during their childhoods and developing socially, those kids will end up homeless". That is exactly what my dad told me.
    194
  88. The upside to that is, I found out about (your channel) from the meme. I recognized your face in the thumbnail and I wouldn't have been as likely to click this video if not for that.
    187
  89. This is an entire series nowšŸ˜‚
    170
  90. this is extremely relatable. the wechat groupchats, lying to CPS, and blaming yourself as a child for abuse. i always thought if i was smarter, better, or what they wanted, they wouldnt beat me. my asian friends went thru the same stuff. thank u for simply speaking out about it because it does so much good. <3
    168
  91. AI civil war before GTA 6?
    161
  92. ĀØThis AI situation is INSANEĀØ
    160
  93. Sorry to hear about that. I was working at a studio, I do animation, and I remember using some AI tools at the studio, just to speed up parts of the workflow and then we touch it up to make it look better and less like AI. I was on contract and I was let go. I kept in touch with the studio but itā€™s been months and they still havenā€™t hired me back. I am doing animation as a short term contract gig currently but I canā€™t wait to get this done, Iā€™m tired of it honestly, too much work for not much pay. Iā€™m already deciding to go back to college but in a field where AI wonā€™t be impacted as much (aka a hands on/physical job). It wonā€™t be a quick transition as I still need to work but Iā€™m just glad I am working. Currently doing a mix of retail and babysitting.
    146
  94. I am a physics major right now in my undergrad during my sophmore year. I hope to go into engineering and possibly work for a space program. There have been incredibly rough moments during my sophmore year. There have been moments where my mind kept screaming at me to just give up because the stress was too much. However, I got a really good grade in my physics class at the end of all the stress, and I feel confident about my classes in the future. I told myself not to give up because I will never know who I truly am if I do not go into a field that I am passionate about. The important thing is to just push through no matter how much it hurts. There will be good moments and bad moments. There were times where I felt that I was too stupid to get involved in physics and math, and there were times that I thought I was wrong about that. I plan on pushing through and aiming towards a masters in electrical engineering. I enjoyed your video very much. Have a good day.
    145
  95. The implications are scary. Liked and subbed BTW.
    145
  96. ā€œIā€™d rather potentially fail while living on my own terms than succeed while living on someone elseā€™s termsā€ Love that quote, itā€™s something that you donā€™t learn in school, but only learn from yourself. Itā€™s admirable knowing exactly what you want of yourself
    138
  97. All I know is that gen beta's childhood will be even more cooked
    138
  98. As someone trying to one day become a professional author, Im extremely sorry that happened to you. I watched the original video and man, its horrible. Hopefully you find a way to use your writing in a way that AI canā€™t take over Edit: now that I think of it YouTube is a great way to incorporate your writing as you are right now. At least it seems like it, idk if the video is actually scripted but I feel like you strike a great balance in your articulation when you talk as you manage to sound entertaining and professional while also simple enough to be relatable, a great skill for a writer
    136
  99. This is inspiring man. I think one of the most powerful takeaways is that you went through all that and you're still here with us and both mentally and physically stronger. I think that more than proves that at this juncture of life, you can outdo any problem thrown at your way, I mean you already went through a time that I imagine was hell but you still being here and just simply telling your story already speaks of victory and I think that outshines any academic validation you ever got. I mean think about it in order for the rabbit to tell us about how it escaped the lion, means it lived to outdo the odds and the situation, hence giving us its story. Thanks man, you're another wonder we can speak about, a champion.
    136
  100. So sorry to hear your challenges man! Iā€™m 55 and trust me when one door closes something better comes along. You donā€™t think so when youā€™re going through it but it will get better.
    135
  101. I am a sophomore with an Engineering Physics major at this university (The University of Michigan). Iā€™m taking 5 technical classes this semesterā€¦ I just had my second batch of midterms. This semester has ruined me. I have no time for anything but studying. Even eating is sometimes ā€œnot important enoughā€. I am hoping for some normality to return to my life next semester. It is a stroke of luck finding this video. I wish you well in all that you do Alex. Godā€™s blessings.
    129
  102. Ngl, this is one of the best YouTube channels rn. Bro's living like he's in a Black Mirror episode and I'm here for it

  103. It's crazy how similar my situation is to yours. I just graduated with a BS in Physics, from a Michigan university nonetheless. I started to really reflect on why I'm doing what I'm doing after my Dad passed away earlier this year, and everything I had planned started crumpling. I don't truly know what I want out of life. I chose Physics because I did well in my high school courses, but I'm not really passionate about it. I've been spending the last couple months trying to figure out how I want to move forward, and I hope I'll find my path like you did! Thanks a lot for sharing your story.

  104. I come from a slightly different field, namely, I mainly write articles on mathematics, but before that I had a long-term background as a programmer. Not long ago, I started looking for a job both in teaching and in programming. I was unpleasantly surprised that for the position of a lecturer in mathematics, they constantly ask questions about knowledge of machine learning. It's like when you get a job as a stationery seller, and they also require you to be able to sell fish. The majority of positions related to research in mathematics are also somehow related to AI. The same applies to positions in programming, almost all well-paid positions are related to AI. As for mathematics, AI is not yet able to replace even a mediocre scientist, but I regularly see poorly generated texts that I have to compete with. If you are not interested in AI, then be prepared for serious difficulties when looking for a job in science, IT, teaching... This is some kind of madness. At the same time, a huge number of people are working to destroy not only adjacent positions, but also their own. I hope that in the end we will move to another, better era, where it will be easier and more pleasant for everyone to live. But something tells me that the next 10-15 years will be very difficult for our generations, especially for employees of creative and intellectual professions.

  105. I can relate. You just described my Asian parents when I was growing up. Their number one strict rule for their kids going to college was to study natural sciences, therefore, I was prohibited from going to art school. To make a long story short, I majored in chemistry and minored in physics. I only completed because there was no other choice but to finish school with good grades. I'm happy for you for finding your way to much improved well being. Keep up the remarkable efforts.

  108. Brave of you for sharing. Thank you. It took me 15 years to get my BS in Physics. I was interested in learning but not motivated to study. Being poor also forced me to work during college and that was draining. And I craved change which resulted in a fits and start experience with relocations and transfers. Looking back, it was an irregular path full of disappointments, heartaches, and discoveries, but I would not change the road taken. Now in my 50's, I can still relate to your college struggles. Afterall, it was a defining period. Approaching retirement, my Physics degree has served me well. Whether in the corporate world, or investing, or making things, I feel like I have a cheat code to the world. Life finds a way, just keep moving and trying. You will do well!
    109
  109. The way I relate to this video. I am literally studying physics right now just to prove to myself that I was smart enough to do. Iā€™m finishing my first year and have had so many experiences where my health became my last priority and itā€™s made me realise it isnā€™t worth it. I honestly have no idea what Iā€™ll do once I finish my degree but I know I for sure ainā€™t working a 9-5.

  112. Yea, an undergrad degree in physics isn't worth that much, you typically need to see it all the way through PhD. This also means getting research experience as an undergrad to set yourself up for grad school. I'm hoping your professors/counselors mentioned this to you, but given what you said in your video about them thinking you can get a job easily with an undergrad degree, I'm thinking they didn't. But then again, it doesn't sound like physics was the right choice for you to begin with, so sorry about that. Hopefully high school students considering physics will see this and be forewarned to make a proper decision before they sink too much time (and money) into the degree. On a slightly different note, reputable physics PhD programs are pretty good with funding, so it's a path that can lead to little to no student debt if done right. I got through mine with zero debt, even if I was dirt poor the entire time.

  113. 1:59, a huge problem is people keep buiying into the mindset of that "oh there is a course, send them to that course", isntead of just letting the child play and develop and try out their own cocktail to really appreciate their abilty to create and not just copy and paste, this is how you turn a potential Mozart to a regular normie

  119. As a creative, it feels like a lot of my childhood dreams became impossible. I don't want to give up, but Amazon is flooded with AI novels and it feels like an uphill battle to get recognition. So seeing this battle between AI is at least a little entertaining as somebody deeply impacted by all this.

  124. For me, it never began. Dating is like an entry level job nowadays. You need experience , but you still need to have a certain height and a certain amount of experience to be considered by most women. Itā€™s hard to do that as a short 23 year old virgin that still lives with parents.
    83
  125. Very good narration. I went through something similar. I am old now. I was never able to recover and have lived alone in the countryside with my dog for the past 22 years. I regret spending the time and effort attempting to become somewhat normal and fit in society and trying find a partner.
    82
  126. Went through a similar arc a couple years ago. 5% of what the manosphere sells you is good. Things like working out, quitting vices, taking responsibility, etc are all good things that young men should focus on. However, the ideological stuff they sell you is complete poison and just makes you spiteful towards the world. Good video man.

  127. the intro is so fire
    81
  128. The funny thing is, back in 2016 we actually had a federal initiative here in Switzerland regarding the introduction of universal basic income (UBI). Since Switzerland usually leans more to the right side, the majority of voters voted against it. Back then I was still in high school and we discussed the initiative in our history/politics class and I was one of the very few students who was going to vote FOR the introduction of UBI. It would have been such a chance, not only was the idea brought up because of the ongoing modernization and globalization of our world, it would've been a great alternative to the current social welfare (incl. the stigma that comes along when someone's unemployed) and it would have allowed people to actually self-realize themselves (more time on our hands, following your dream career -> hence employers of "unpopular" jobs (hospitality, retail, etc) would have been pressured to make these jobs more desirable). But the Swiss people were like "Uhm no, I don't like the idea of people being lazy and idle at home". Since AI is becoming stronger I do hope that we will rethink it again.

  131. I think people are so focused on their work and personal goals that they overlook the importance of social relationships, which are often the most fulfilling aspect of life. Imagine coming home after a long day with no one to share your experiences withā€”no one to laugh with about something funny that happened at work, or to talk to when you've had a rough day, or to celebrate a promotion. While work is important, it's our connections with others that truly enrich our lives. After all, we are all human, and we need each other.
    80
  132. I'm white and in recent years I started to notice that asian women seemed to be more attracted to me than white women. It's weird.

  133. i just wanna add onto that part about ads - when there's less time to see an ad, the companies advertising get less back. Then the value proposition is hurt and the benefit of ads go away, both for creators and the companies - leading to new ways of putting out ads. Ads made for the purpose of being seen by readers of the AI generated summaries - this will create a new fatigue similar to the one viewers have in regard to ads on videos now - but now it contributes to development of a new layer of laziness/convenience causing viewership to fall across the board for both content and the ads. It's really a conundrum, and I imagine my comments will one day also get AI summaries. Sadly, I know most people actually wish for that, despite how they may feel about AI. People want the "meat and potatoes*.
    78
  134. I want to believe that AI, whilst going strong rn, won't ever be able to replace humans. If there's a constant in humanity, is artistry. No matter the crisis we faced, art prevailed

  138. My whole life I have wanted to be artist, and especially work in animation. With this rise of AI I have basically watched my dreams be crushed infront of my eyes before I even had a chance to try. Iā€™m in high school currently and decided to try my best to succeed in other ways that are less affected by AI so I plan to go into the dental field. But it doesnā€™t make it hurt any less, Iā€™ve planned my whole life around an industry that is basically impossible to work in anymore.

  139. Iā€™m in 200 person lecture hall and the professor asks us to chat with our side people to work on problems posted in class. It IS DEAD SILENT. I look to my right and left to try to silently get their attention and they just stare at their computer. Are generation is socially destroyed for the most part. Itā€™s even worse for those who didnā€™t attend college.

    64
  145. Honestly I think the main reason I feel like this as well, is because most things are no longer attainable, from loving relationships, to truly stable jobs, to owning a home, to traveling. Everything is out of reach, and the only option you're really provided is sit down at a desk and grind away your soul in a dull room at the behest of some corporation that wants to milk every aspect of you life and believes that you truly "live to work"

  146. I'm 6'3, struggled to make friends, struggled in social situations, had social anxiety, had back problems, was not very popular, wasn't very well integrated into society. Yeah being tall is a privilege but being tall alone does not necessarily lead to all of those benefits. I have sympathy for short men, but everyone has their own experiences regardless of their physical traits.

  154. I go to an ivy; I think one of the most liberating things for me has just been to accept early on that I wonā€™t be getting straight As anymore. I think at a certain point when people try to force themselves through a school like Penn, Mich, MIT, etc with the same mindset they had in HS, itā€™s just doomed to fail because theyā€™re literally stuck in the class. Bravo to you for emphasizing health of all sorts (mental, physical, etc). I basically just approach every assignment with an ā€œIā€™ll do my work, but if I donā€™t quite meet the bar/cutoff for an A, then oh well! Academics just donā€™t matter like they once did.ā€ The expectations and stress culture are fs still here, but the kids who irrationally obsess over 4.0s when they arenā€™t even premed or whatever are honestly just losers. I think my friends and I have embraced the new challenge of developing ourselves as PEOPLE rather than students. With college admissions we only got one shot ā€” but with the fancy named secured, weā€™ve got so many opportunities and attempts to do all the other things that matter to us. Yesterday, ā€œholistic admissionsā€ had us in the trenches. Today, weā€™re looking to be holistic humans. Youā€™re right on. I cannot emphasize how important it is to just let the damn 4.0 sink a little. Youā€™ll survive ā€” and youā€™ll be better for it.
    56
  155. AI, like any other tool, should not be used for everything! I am not saying that AI was inherently bad and it should replace tedious tasks, but I feel like writing texts, especially for blogs and newspapers, should be left to humans. Creativity MUST be left to humans! Because humans are inspired to create (which is not equivalent to work in the global economy!). Just because AI CAN be used, it doesnā€™t NEED to replace ALL of us! In fact, it should guide us while leaving us with something to do in our lives. We are hitting an ethical crisis with AI, we need to discuss this now!

    53
  161. just wow I am also asian and I can relate to most of what you said to a certain extent. Where I live, everyone wants their child to be the best and my biggest misfortune was that I realized this toxicity late because everyone was Asian and everyone worked hard like I did (There were almost no children in the playgrounds because they were attending the weekend courses you mentioned.) so I didn't have to look at other kids and compare myself. After learning English, I discovered the other side of YouTube and everyone was talking about Asian parenting and it was really shocking because I had never thought of it like that before. Now I am a senior in high school and this time i can truly feel my parent support It wasn't easy to get to this point. There were a lot of fights and disappointments, but it's better than nothing.
    52
  162. The major issue is the educational system in its entirety. Everything is focused on min-maxing a bunch of superficial attributes. Learning to actually read and think is discouraged as doing well on exams becomes the sole goal. Another issue is that most elite students had elite opportunities. Their parents were, at least, comfortable middle class and could afford to send them to prep classes. There are always outliers, but many of these kids have always had guard rails around them for their entire lives. Therefore, the moment struggles comes around they may be unable to cope. A genuine liberal arts education is needed, especially for highly technical subjects. It is important to learn how to read books, engage in communication, and tackle alternative points of view. Most professors don't train as teachers and are utterly insufficient in the classroom. Finally, students are trained to be overspecialized. Well-roundedness is not favorable... anywhere. I'm educated in multiple disciplines and my background is a disadvantage for many hiring managers and committees. I have wanted to become a researcher, but I never did have the financial opportunity to afford working with a professor in a research lab. Only in my mid 30s have I acquired enough independence to begin following this dream. Hands down: the educational system needs a massive overhaul. It is rotting the minds of most, if not all, students no matter their background or privilege.
    52
  163. There is the optimistic side of things that quality has to go up so it rivals lower quality and generated videos.

  175. The problem about being a short and muscular man is, that tall people tell you that itā€™s way easier to get muscular for short guys. They donā€™t respect short and muscular men in the same way as tall men who have to Work harder. I am short and muscular and really fast. Yes, you know what they call me. Muscular Dwarf and they tell me I am so fast because I am short and have less Air resistance. Sometimes I think they are telling me all this because they feared of me. They want that I feel bad. I have to live my life. Sometimes itā€™s hard but I think all of this shit makes me stronger. Sorry if my English isnā€™t good. I am a German guy. In Germany the average height is pretty high.

In order to do that, I must experience life. Weā€™re going to be okay, my brethren. Weā€™re going to be okay. By the way, look into health physics!

  183. This is quite common in west coast cities like San Francisco.

  184. Keep the grind up, I like your content! Went to a top university for Computer Science, I dropped out and went to military thinking I was rotting my life away at a College drinking 4 times a week. With the impending sense of responsibility in my job I pleaded to my superiors to give me a chance to become mature and not miss those formative years of young adulthood. Went through a breakup and all I wanted to do was escape and start again. Military gave me a second chance of the Bachelor's. I was already disciplined but I had an edge on my peers. Go through and end up failing classes, losing my hobbies. Getting unfit. My weekends became part of the working week. The friendships I made wouldn't last longer than a term. Note I now had an established social network in my city as opposed to round 1. I'm going back to work soon. I have a purpose and a second family there that could use some extra hands. It's fustrating to dream of being a tech bro guru living in some penthouse in NYC or Silicon Valley since being a kid. That's almost your personality at this point. The hard work in school for "almost" nothing. We all have a duty to do, and the greed wasn't worth the trouble. At least I know in some alternate world I did the quintessential asian boy route.

  185. Youā€™re on a good path now man. Playing catch-up with social skills is brutal but just keep at it. Iā€™m happy to hear that you woke up now instead of years into a career that was draining your soul so thereā€™s at least thatā€¦though Iā€™m sure you feel like youā€™ve lost a lot of time. All the societal pressure to perform at a high-level is so stupid when you really look into it. Like then, what? We all just collectively get better and work harder to outcompete each other and see who can be the most miserable? Line must go up?! šŸ˜‚ humans need to evolve past this. Thereā€™s gotta be more to life. Anyways, just a rant of a comment for the algo.
    41
  186. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS. This is also my life. I was an overachiever until recently. I graduated magna cum laude in our top university and Iā€™m 28 now, a researcher, college lecturer, finishing my masters dissertation while working on so multiple projects and co-authorships. Last year, I got diagnosed with polyneuropathy which causes certain parts of my body to go numb and lose my grip. I was horrified when I realized that without studying it working, i didnā€™t know who I am. I literally just stare at the ceiling, not knowing what to do. Then, the medical bills. All that work went to paying for medications, check ups, not to mention, expenses that had to do with my mental health: therapy, buying unimportant things, going on extended breaks - only to return home still feeling empty. Now, Iā€™m starting to learn how to rest and enjoy unproductivity

  189. Ever since I was a kid, I've always been praised for my creativity and my writing talent. Writing and drawing are the only things I enjoy doing that I'm good at, and if I already had a really small chance at achieving something with that, now I feel like I don't even have a chance anymore. I feel lost, and really fear for the future. I despise AI, when my school made us take an AI course I refused to do any activity within it and just passively existed in the classroom, often drawing instead of paying attention, because why would I care about it? In my mind, it's nothing more than a wall that makes it impossible for me to reach my goal. I really don't know what to do. I'm not good at most things, and I just know that my neurodivergence will just make finding a job in the future even harder. I really wish more people would realise how wrong AI is used in this kind of way.

  192. Brother your video is incredible. It shows a trait that isnā€™t commonly talked about in self improvement which is humbleness. During my time in the Mano sphere, Iā€™ve made lost so many opportunities to build deeper relationships with the people around me because I was really obsessed with being some kind of super human, and felt too good to talk to people sometimes. Thereā€™s incredible drive in pushing yourself to work hard like in Monk Mode, but in my life whatā€™s worked best for me so far has been choosing to be humble and listen to others even if theyā€™re not a very popular online influencer. Thank you for sharing this video man, I loved it and please keep posting.

  193. Hey Alex, I never comment but I just wanted to say after watching some of your videos that I relate a lot to your story. I recently graduated from a decent school with an otherwise unemployable degree with plans of going to law school. I tried working as hard as I could in college to have a high GPA, to the exclusion of aspects of the social experience of college. I was lonely, didnā€™t have any friends, and spent hours in the library every day. Eventually, due to burnout, mental health, and other personal issues I basically ā€œcrashed outā€ like you during my senior year. I just didnā€™t feel ready to apply to law schools (to get into an actually good one) so I thought I might as well try to get a job and at least save some money first. I applied to dozens if not hundreds of generic white collar business type 9 to 5s. All throughout my education everyone told that my degree would be useless and wouldnā€™t do anything for me, but I ignored them (esp. since I had plans for an advanced degree that allowed for any major). I thought that having a bachelorā€™s degree in a relatively difficult major would least show that I have half a brain and have transferable skills in writing, communication, research, etc. Far from the case. Like you point out in your other videos, the fact of the matter is that this just isnā€™t how the job market is working anymore. Hiring managers just want to fit a round peg in a round hole, and already have a plethora of candidates who already studied topics to prepare for these jobs and have experience with internships. No one wants to train new hires anymore. I feel like we might even be going through a mini recession to be honest. I got an interview here and there but basically never got past the first round because like you Iā€™m pretty sure Iā€™m mildly autistic. Interviews are like an exercise in social bullshit where the things that can eliminate you have absolutely nothing to do with whether you can do the job or not. Iā€™m also short, and I feel so validated in the things youā€™ve pointed out about how this can set you back in every aspect of life. In general I just hate my life and donā€™t know what to do right now.

  195. Happy 2025 sorry about that man. I've been unhappy about my grades and stressing about exams coming up, so my 2025 isn't going the greatest too. Just gotta hang in there and things will get better!

  197. Ima girl so for me it wasnā€™t the ā€œmanosphereā€ lol - but I did fall hard for sports anime and self-improvement content, and some of the narratives it pushes can be detrimental in a similar way. Like is it good to lock yourself in ur house in ā€œmonk mode,ā€ grinding for weeks without any social interaction? Heck no. Do you have to take cold showers at 4am to succeed? No way But did I discover weight lifting and fall in love with it? Yes Did I find new confidence to tackle challenges & improved my grades? Yes ā¤ Itā€™s all about finding balance & figuring out what advice to listen to, and what is too extreme. I loved this vids advice about being ur own person - using the info that serves you but also thinking for yourself rather than blindly following everything thatā€™s said by ppl that just want to profit off u

  200. Bro you got my support, keep going, i belive that ibetween the age of 20 and 25 it's our time to discover ourselves, it's a whole process but it's worth it in the end. God bless you man, stay strong.

  201. As a potential physics major going into my first year of college, Iā€™ve seen quite a few of these videos and am really starting to question whether Iā€™m choosing to study for myself or if itā€™s for my feeling of self-worth. Iā€™ve never been an extremely stressed person, but videos like this teach me to not take academics too seriously.
    36
  202. i'd much rather work 5 to 9 on my purpose than 9 to 5 on a pointless office job

  204. As someone whoā€™s also felt very insecure about my intelligence, I deeply sympathize with your experience and thank you for posting something like this. Iā€™m glad there are so many people out there who are going through similar feelings. It makes me feel less aloneā€¦. Iā€™ve also had desires to prove to the world that I was some sort of ā€œdeep thinkerā€ whilst never feeling like I was good enough. I kinda just chose to study math (with philosophy - and initially physics but disliked it), not because I had a plan or because I was passionate about it, but because I was good at it in school (which was nothing compared to university math), because I didnā€™t know what else to do, and.... to feel smart; which led to having difficulties with finding the motivation to study. I enjoyed some aspects of math but generally felt lost and without purpose. I also felt like an outsider because all my peers seemed to be smarter and more motivated than I was.... Ended up getting my degree and generally did ok but with mid to mediocre math grades in my last two years. Now Iā€™m taking time off and learning how to code to get a job in IT and also plan to do a conversion Masterā€™s in CS; which makes me feel like Iā€™m finally on a productive path to a life of independence and financial stability. This alone is already motivating. I no longer will go to school simply because Iā€™m told to, to merely pursue academic success on which to base my self worth, and without some idea of my future. Weā€™ll see how this career transition goesā€¦. I wish you all the best and hope your start to a new life works outĀ inĀ theĀ endĀ :)

  205. 1stmanā€™s decline hurts the most, I resonated with lots of his earlier videos
    35
  206. I feel the same way. My best time was in school (I'm 25 now). At this time your friends would be just people that would enjoy being with you not waiting to gain anything in return, just being friends to fuck around together. Now it's all about growing network, making connections and reaching out to the "right" people to grow your career and I hate it. I think thats why all my friends are people I know since primary or middle school because we had nothing to gain from being friend or talking to each others. Im 25 and feel old and young at the same time. Old because I know this will go on forever, I will reunite with my buddies once or twice a year maximum because we took different paths and ended up in different countries and it makes me sad remembering that at one point we would be together 24/7, we still remember these days with a lot of nostalgia even though they are over. Nostalgia is the hardest emotion I deal with. I also feel young because well... Im 25. I just wish I knew these things in high school to enjoy more my time with my buddies before they were over but here I am now as an adult and it fucking sucks... 2010-2017 were my golden years.
    35
  207. This is the exact stuff that makes me think sooner or later somethings gonna break in the system.
    35
  208. Well best of luck to you, whatever you do.

  209. When the video ended I got an ad about stopping catchas using AI technology, and the ad itself felt like it was also made by AI... they truly have it out for you dude

  211. I'm also 5'-6 and around your age (just turned 25). Blessed to be short because life would have been way too easy otherwise.

  212. 5:15 Surprised to not see any comments on this, although there are not direct job prospects from a physics degree there are still a ton of options: finance, data/software engineer, energy etc. Iā€™m currently studying for a masters in Astrophysics. That being I have never related more, I really donā€™t know why I picked this field and it is incredibly hard to keep pushing when you donā€™t have a passion for it, I too have Iā€™m going through struggles with mental health and feel the pressure to continue the degree (itā€™s a free masters if I finish it in 5 years as it is integrated and I am from Scotland). Great vid!

  213. I think for an asian guy it comes down to having really good fashion sense (earrings, chains, watches), going to the gym, having a good career, having good hobbies, and trying to be more outgoing. These combined will make you stand out more.
    33
  214. the future is really scary for any and all creatives, stay strong and i think it'll pay off in the end
    33
  215. I am in 12th grade. I took a step back from taking multiple AP classes and honors classes this last semester, and I have literally never been happier in my entire life. I took more time to ride my bike, I slept more, and I stopped having that feeling of perpetual sickness like you mentioned. I got admitted to the college of engineering at my university, and I am worried that taking up engineering is only going to bring that back. Sigh.
    33
  216. It's good to realize you're only human and are more than the sum of your accomplishments or grades... I'm glad you're doing better!
    33
  217. You're a smart kid. People like you are the hope of the future.
    33
  218. Bro as a Korean/Mexican who is more asian looking than hispanic, I can relate. But itā€™s funny because I actually prefer latinas, Iā€™ve only ever dated latinas. Idk if thats because no korean or asian girl has never been interested or because I got no game with them šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    33
  219. Current a college Sophomore who also had lots of pressure from family to get good grades, etc, and had really bad mental health, and what you just said resonated with me so fucking deeply I swear to god it's like we both had the same life experience!!! School IS skibidi toilet, bop bop, yes yes!!!!
    33
  220. Iā€™m an accounting/finance student with 4 internships under my belt. Iā€™m DONE with all of it though. Iā€™d be completely happy not working in another office for the rest of my life. Now we just have to pick up the pieces and make our next move. Iā€™m probably going to quit my part time financial paraplanning job once I graduate and then Iā€™ll take a year to work in greenhouses and grow plants. At this point I couldnā€™t care less if I donā€™t acquire fancy job titles or certifications - I just want enough money to live a basic life
    32
  221. alex, the world can be cruel. and the saying "put the fries in the bag, little bro" is such a mean insult. now they are saying if ai takes our jobs, then we have to put our fries in the bag :( anyway yeah the internet sucks
    32
  222. This is my fear because while I have a full time job in healthcare, I do write blog articles as a side hustle. The extra money helps, but with the popularity of AI and Grammarly, my writing gig possibly could disappear.
    32
  223. I have to admit, some pressure on you to succeed isn't much of a big deal. Everyone can handle some pressure which is OK, but sometimes parents really want to take it to a new level and give you a LOT more pressure which can just ruin you and your health. I'm sorry that you went through that, hope you are doing well now :D

  227. I really love physics, but the only thing that I hated about the classes was the fact that they were so theoretical. It was all equations that had no tie to real, physical meaning. It got the point where I was incredibly upset at the equations and theorems discovered, I almost wanted to believe they were not real. Faradayā€™s law? Fake law. Observerā€™s effect? Made up. It wasnā€™t a terrible crash out, but it did make me start hating physics not gonna lie..
    30
  228. Be in a relationship business, Personal training is the top dressing for mine. AI can't replace genuine human interaction, well at least not for most womwn.
    30
  229. Genuinely try not to bank on society figuring it out or trying to help us because I donā€™t think that will ever happen and I say this from experience as a 34 year old who used to have college debt. No one is coming to help us, youā€™ll have to figure out how to help yourself and I promise you this starts with developing good habits for yourself. Start by changing any behaviors in your life that might be hurting or holding you back from finding any future gainful employment. Something as simple as getting a haircut or dressing nice and being nice during a job interview may make all the difference. Once you have a job again figure out if itā€™s a wage youā€™re comfortable with, if not, keep looking for another job while still keeping the job you donā€™t like until you can fully transition to the better job. If you do find a job youā€™re comfortable with the pay then start to learn how to save money for emergencies, like one day losing your job to AI again. Donā€™t get distracted with anything thatā€™s not the bare necessities in life. Learn how to cut down on your frivolous spending on unhealthy foods, eating out, spending money just to go out, buy some clippers learn how to cut your own hair, whatever it takes. Work on how to save money on any of your cost of living be as frugal as possible until you have enough savings to sustain you whether you have a job or not. Look into high yield savings accounts. Many online banks offer better rates. Thereā€™s no shame in moving back with your folks if you have to, do whatever it takes to be financially responsible and independent but do it on a realistic path. Cut back on whatever you can. Thereā€™s a reason most commercials try to sell us an idea that their product will make our lives better. ā€œDrink responsiblyā€ ā€œGamble responsiblyā€ if youā€™re choosing to drink or gamble youā€™re being irresponsible. Itā€™s all about making them money at the cost of our lives. Donā€™t keep being a consumer for the rich to get richer. Learn how to free yourself. Master your self discipline and will. Force yourself to eat healthy and exercise and to make these high priorities in your life as soon as possible. We canā€™t always rely on others but we can learn how to rely on ourselves and our good habits. Best of luck to you bro, Iā€™m rooting for you.

  230. You may be lonely, but you arenā€™t alone in being lonely. A lot of us here are going through similar things, and weā€™ve all been brought together, at this moment in time, by your art. Thank you, Alex.
    29
  231. Dude, I couldnā€™t agree with u more abt ai in this video and in the last. It concerns me as well! If I see a cool picture or something on Pinterest, I literally need to check and look closely at it to determine whether it is ai or not. AI doesnā€™t focus on the small details of pictures. I honestly used to use ai to generate silly pictures, but I donā€™t anymore now that I learned it is frowned upon, extremely bad for the environment, taking over Pinterest and other places where u share beautiful pictures and art, and taking pplā€™s jobs away from them when the cost of living is rising!
    29
  232. 8:36 yeah idk why, maybe i'm dumb, but i've always wondered why ai is kind of developing faster than robotics, i think? i feel like it would be nicer to get some manual jobs replaced with robots and a few supervising jobs, instead of having creative jobs replaced. idk how construction or agriculture or the entire world even works at all... but i'm guessing that the companies that just manage the people doing the repetitive manual labor would disappear, and companies that make products would have to start contracting/paying (?) robotics companies or even patent their own robots or something. but then they couldn't rely on cheap labor anymore for those manual things, so the problem is that robotics (making the robots/machines) might replace that as the low income job or something. and then there would have to be some kind of public program to help redirect all the unskilled (+maybe some skilled) manual labor people to other industries like robotics. ooh, maybe even redirect a lot to the medical field, or education, that would help a lot. it would really shift from people controlling other people's bodies, to people controlling machines. it would free up a lot more of us to focus on social, scientific, and creative careers or careers where people get to make more choices for themselves. this is probably a bad idea for very obvious reasons that i'm not getting, but i like to think it would be pretty nice. and it's less dangerous than ai, because those robots/machines won't become sentient or soomething. they will just be doing repetitive actions.

  236. Just signed up for your Patreon. You went through hell and are stronger because of it. You are helping and will help a lot of young people. Youā€™re an inspiration, brother. Left this comment on the last video, but it got buried (a good signā€”a lot of people are watching your vids!).
    28
  237. Name the company, bro.

  238. As a old head long out of the game and happily settled down, your authenticity is refreshing. Most of the creator's I come across in this space are so fake and fronting so hard.

  239. After some years of self-improvement now i follow just chriss williamson and the fearless man bc im on my way to getting my professional career started to be really good but been feeling like something is stopping me in a deeper level, so now im just trying to grow bc for better or for worse these people helped me build my set of rules and personality and im grateful to them.
    28
  240. Youā€™re above average bro!

  241. dayum sorry to hear it man

  242. We are absolutely destroying ourselves with this stuff What's so hard to understand about no jobs --> no money --> no customers We need humans and a flow of money, not just all of it going to a few people, I feel like these smart people should be able to understand basic economics
    28
  243. dont be a "high value man" be a man with high values
    28
  244. I am 46 years old with my own business and I have never thought about life that way. ā€œYouā€™re not really smart ifā€¦ā€ is profound. Thanks, man.
    27
  245. My life is quite similar to yours, though I do see some friends occasionallyā€”mostly the ones I met during my masterā€™s, as we were in the same lab. Otherwise, I doubt I would have met anyone. I just finished my masterā€™s and am moving to another city for a job. The thought of being away from friends and familyā€”who are spread across different continentsā€”terrifies me. I haven't seen my family for more than a year because they are in a war zone in the middle east but I had some friends I met alog the way that I need to say goodbye to now because I am leaving for my mew job... I try to maintain a sense of purpose by learning new things and picking up new hobbies, but sometimes it feels like Iā€™m just fooling myself, as if my best days are already behind meā€”even though Iā€™m only 25. Iā€™m not sure if this lifestyle truly works for you, but I genuinely hope youā€™re happy. Thatā€™s all I meanā€”no judgment at all. Soon, my life will mirror the one you described, and while itā€™s reassuring to know Iā€™m not alone in this, I canā€™t deny how much I miss my parents, my friends, and my social life. The last part surprises me the most, considering Iā€™ve always been a huge introvert. Thank you for making such honest, genuine, and transparent videos. Wishing you and everyone here the best.
    27
  246. I totally agree with what you said Iā€™ve gotten into streaming a lot more often and itā€™s made me realized how much joy I get from interacting with others and helping others with advice rather then work
    27
  247. Life is not easy! Another thing is the dude possibly had a very high expectation of himself due to his academic success and maybe he was disappointed about his life after graduation from ivy league school. Managing expectation is important for your mental health. Academic success does not equal constant wins in real life. Stay humble, cut expenses and manage expectations. The modern society is crazy overall! Life is not easy! I had academic success and I have been working for 20 years as an invisible guy in corp world. All we can do is to do our best and lower our expectations. Not everything is under our control. Taking walks helps too. Sitting for too long or driving too much is not healthy. Take care there!
    27
  248. I graduated last December with a bachelors in physics and a year later I still don't have a full time job.
    26
  249. Leaving a commet so bro doesnt gotta go from figuring out physics to flipping patties

  250. Hi Alex.. I'm a 17 y/o girl with academic burnout. I enjoy ur videos, they do provide be some motivation. If you notice this comment, let me know.

  251. The tech bro CEOs seem to think their roles are beyond the capabilities of AI.
    25
  252. THIS IS SOOOOOO RELATABLE AS A CHINESE GUY FROM CANADA!! I am so glad that someone posted this online, it helps a lot! Lucky me, we are a family of 6, so my parents are getting tired of parenting so they loosen up the "work harder or you are worthless" method of parenting, and because they realize the cons of parenting like this.
    25
  253. Honestly itā€™s that a lot of asian guys have a lot of stigma from the internet, but i feel like a lot of itā€™s starting to change thanks to Kpop and etc. Plus, a lot of asian guys are heavily focused on their studies and donā€™t gym much, but once they do theyā€™ll probably have decent options. I see this happening a lot to asian men in the States but im from Canada and since we have a fairly high asian population I donā€™t see this as much as a problem. So it could also be that thereā€™s less asians around where you are too.
    25
  254. Your strength is your honesty and your courage. Full respect for you

    25
  256. Same thing happened to me. In one of my classes, a Black professor was especially harsh on me, often roasting my performance while seemingly favoring Black students. Despite her criticism, I still managed to earn a B in her class. Fast forward to when I got accepted into an Ivy League universityā€”I decided to have a little fun. I approached her, pretending to ask for a recommendation letter. As expected, she refused. But then I casually mentioned that I had already been accepted. Her face changed instantlyā€”she looked visibly upset. I just smiled, said ā€œHave a great day,ā€ and walked away. šŸ˜‚
    24
  257. Hmmm the funny (and ironic) thing is, you are the exact type of person that he is talking about in this video. If we're being honest, anyone who uses the term "midface ratio" in paragraph-long YouTube comments probably has a little touch of the 'tism... "Go outside" seems like good advice, I hope you find some peace.
    24
  258. as a white guy, I've genuinely always been super jealous of asian guys. Maybe it's because I'm on the east coast and they're a lot less common here, but in my experience they're always just doing really well. They all have a ton of money and are smart and skilled, and are never really out of shape or closed off. They've always seemed to have EVERYTHING sorted out here and it was really weird to me to see an asian guy talking about the downsides of it.
    23
  259. I always find focusing easier at night too. Itā€™s like the rest of the world calms down for a bit and there are no distractions.
    23
  260. bro really said "just for who am i doing this for?"

  261. Ā @official_aweiĀ You deserve a sub for how real you are on this channel of yours (This isnā€™t AI generated btw)

  262. In Arizona, there's lots of Vitamin D. No more muscle aches, bone aches, etc. My undergraduate classes were very tough as well, so I chose exercising/ lifting light weights as a way to destress. :D
    23
  263. I personally noticed this, and started doing my own things while only picking advice that I thought would work. Itā€™s kinda sad to see someone who became the very thing he said he hated and try not to be. I think Hamza gives genuinely good advice here and there, and arguably has done more good than bad. I mean I personally was impacted in a very positive way.
    23
  264. I relate to this a lot, especially the part about getting sick due to stress. For me, this happened in high school. I was pushing myself hard to get straight-A's while taking all IB classes and doing a bunch of extracurriculars. During college applications my senior year I developed a persistent stomach ache that turned into an ulcer. I was getting 3 hours of sleep making sure I got straight As while also throwing up blood every morning for close to a month. Eventually, it subsided, but I did not tell my parents that I was sick for fear that I would have to miss precious days of school, homework assignments, and that I would fall behind on my applications. I ended up losing about 12 pounds or so just over that month and I was miserable and in physical pain the entire time. And in the end I ended up not even getting into the school I was gunning so hard for in the first place! Since then, I've made myself calm down. School was serious but I realized that I couldn't make it the life-or-death thing that I was making it be in the first place. Work is the same way. I have been able to find some measure of "success," which to me is just a quiet, comfortable life. That's all I really want.
    23
  265. I think that what you're doing here is really neat, Alex. Showing people cool and interesting new ways to use AI in such a way that may not be obvious to their day to day lives could be a really cool direction for you to pivot in your content!
    22
  266. Hamza teaches how to use the tools life gives to you and the schematics you should follow if you want to be successful, but I prefer to construct my path with the knowledge I learned from him, so that's what he is supposed to try to say in my opinion. Nice video, bro. Your sincerity doesn't abound this much these days.
    22
  267. Ā @Diddy_biggestfan09Ā  You got ratioed

  268. Winston Wu said in his video before here on YouTube, Choose a less stressful job even if it earns less money.

  269. i wonder what'll be the thing that'll replace deepseek.
    22
  270. I agree with a lot of what you said. I just turned 28 and spent the majority of my post college life at 9-5s but i am currently planning a way out. My current job isn't bad but i hate being tied to an inflexible schedule and having to put up with bosses and their idiosyncrasies
    22
  271. Iā€™m sure youā€™ll do well in your future ventures, the possibilities are endless !
    22
  272. For Americans, the worst part about this is getting into debt. You study in college, and you acquire ridiculous amounts of debt that push you into the ā€œjob/careerā€ hamster wheel because it would be so hard to pay off that debt from freelance/contract work/small gigs. I am european(so no debt at all), so it was quite easy for me to get out of that(and no sunken cost fallacy as i payed exactly 0 usd for my education), but i actually said ā€œscrew itā€ to education when i was 19, and started working as a junior dev(2017, so it was easy back then), i barely finished my bachelors degree with horrible marks but i didnā€™t care. In the end, iā€™m now 27 and have much more freedom/chill life than my peers(partially because they only start their career because they started after finishing degree, and iā€™m senior dev with lots of experience already, so much more financially independent), although i had to move to Japan because of situation in my country(iā€™m ukrainian)
    22
  273. Here before the AI summary of the video
    22
  274. As a professional programmer i realized that even if AI won't replace me, it will raise the bar high. In other words you either learn how to use AI and become very productive with it or in a few years you will be outmatched. To give you an example, i have a friend who works as a front end web engineer (more like full stack really), a common friend of ours need a custom schedule appointment app. I estimated that it might take us around 130 hours of work (from nothing to published) and my friend who became a master in using AI told me he can do it alone in around 3-4 days with a lot of AI generated code so like 20-30 hoursšŸ˜….... My company hasn't adopted AI aggressively because our codebase is huge (a milioan lines of code) and it needs fine-tuning, but when they do i have to be prepared to use it
    21
  275. Not exercising enough leads to cortisol buildup, which causes anxiety, low self-esteem, and the "dark place" mode. I felt this during my junior year of high school when I was taking 4 AP's and 3 PreAP classes and I decided to stop doing my running and jogging since those classes were very difficult. In my 2nd semester, however, I started playing tennis and my body felt much better. My performance also improved in classes. COVID came over and health improved overall. So yeah, some sort of exercise is important daily (unless a heavy workout was done the day before in which a recovery day is necessary.)
    21
  276. indians are also like this

  277. as a 4' 10 dwarf i can honestly agree but everytime another guy is near me it makes all girls just say no bc u can see the comparison.
    21
  278. Thanks for the video! It helped me understand the appeal of the ā€œmanosphereā€. For a while, Iā€™ve seen that many young men are struggling but didnā€™t understand why they turn to the ā€œmanosphereā€ for help. As a woman, I associated it primarily with misogyny. Hearing all the ways these influencers advocate (at least in part) for physical and mental help was eye opening. Also subscribed! Love to see a fellow recent physics grad living their best life :)

  279. I just discovered this channel a few minutes ago and it turns out you upload today, what are the odds XD
    21
  280. I'm living the exact life you mentioned at 1:18 . I honestly agree; feels like technology got so good so fast that we didn't really have the time to add in any in-between sessions where people just interact with eachother for the hell of it. Everything is definitely getting worse, so I think we as individuals need to think about where the most people are getting together and go to those places. It sounds stupid and oversimplified, but it's not like everyone is just dumping their free time out the window for fun. Socializing is too natural for that.
    21
  281. This exact same thing happened to my back in 2023. It was devastating. I had to start back working in sales. AI is gonna change a lot of industries more and more. I fear for what's to come.
    21
  282. I feel like life is all about balance. I work from home in IT, yet I have like 5 different hobbies. On the weekends, I ride motorcycles, lift weights, practice card magic, play the piano, etc. Everyone has their own path in life.
    21
  283. The reason why I some women have such high standards is because these dating apps are manipulating them with matches who are e.g 3ā€™s and fuck tone of them. This boosts their ego and due to them being used to guys simping over them, this create the illusion of being high value in the eyes of the woman. Dating apps are purposely designed like this because they are self reliant on women being on the apps because if they arenā€™t then their whole business model falls apart.

  284. Because like an unfortunate many, you were pressured into attending college at a young age before you had the chance to consider what you wanted to do with your life and studied something that wasn't really for you. I started college at 34, and it's been the best decision of my life. Had I started at 18, I would not have discovered my true passions, studied something I ended up hating, and probably dropped out with a bunch of debt. Taking time to think and live before committing to higher education should be encouraged and recommended.
    20
  285. Awesome video! Thank you for your vulnerability and honesty. What you said about being physically sick due to mental health made me recall an interview with Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Richard Powers. He said when he was in college he felt tremendous pressure to specialize and pick a life path, and this gave him a pit in his stomach that was with him constantly. (The funny thing, guess what he studied in college at first? Physics.) He eventually found he could channel his wide range of interests into writing novels, and if it isnā€™t already obvious, heā€™s doing pretty well nowadays. Youā€™re doing well too, my friend. Godspeed.
    20
  286. The habit of seeking long-term constant validation is hard to stop thinking about because humans need validation to feel acknowledged that they are doing something correctly, but not at unhealthy levels like comparing each others grades, guilt-tripping someone to force them to improve in a limited time, aiming for perfection and not making mistakes, etc. I'm Asian American as well, so this is something I've experienced quite a bit. It's unpleasant and not really worth it ;(
    20
  287. it is kind of tragic that even if company will not replace you, it will evetually go out of buisness so you will lose job either way.

  288. Lol there is an AI summary beneath your video. Perfect.

  289. bros posture is crazy

  291. At least somebodyā€™s keeping it real

  292. Hey man. Sorry to hear this happened. Don't worry there will be another opportunity on the way.
    19
  293. Same happened to me
    19
  294. And then they all just say ā€œI spent so much money on all this education and youā€™re not even appreciating itā€
    19
  295. love it bro and thats so real, you cant really change naturally anything in your appearance, after all it all comes down to genetics , and your right the only thing you can change is your body, body fat, hair(EYEBROWS,exc..) skin and jawline, good video man
    19
  296. hey, i used to be a biomedical engineer major, also focusing on neuro eng. i gave up since i live in a 3rd world country and most prestigious uni in this country which i could not get in is 300th or so in the rankingā„¢ (which is still impossible to get into, 0.033 percent of students got in last year, 3mil examined) needless to say my uni wasnt prestigious haha. (i got in an even less prestigious school, 1.2% acceptance and 1000th or so on qs ranking, as you know we should be looking for top 10 or 20, not thousands level šŸ˜‚) and now i switched to a uni with worse stats for electronic engineering and that rope is looking mighy great! in conclussion, you can get it done mate, you are in a good spot
    19
  297. Seeing you be able to change and grow to this degree has inspired me a lot. I hope the rest of your life goes well
    19
  298. I graduated with a physics bachelors in 2011 and dropped out of a Physics PhD in 2013. Long story short, I think academia is hyper competitive and the main issue is there's no balance between studying/work and being a normal person and having fun (hanging out with friends, dating, going to the gym, etc..). A lot of it is also luck, getting onto the right projects with the right research groups, correct timing when a particular research topic is hot, etc... I transitioned from academia to the software engineering industry and I'm currently a SWE in a big tech company, so feel free to reach out if you want my story or any advice! Essentially it boils down to getting used to life after school where you're not always meeting new people, with new classes, with zero guidance. And also balance between having fun and grinding on your own career/projects.
    19
  299. I was never that good in academics, weaseled my way through highschool and bachelor's, always fascinated by physics, but I didn't think it would ever amount to anything. But then, for some reason I decided do my master's... and it was the easiest, most fun, and most satisfied I've been academically. I cannot explain why; I studied as I always have, but for some reason, this time it made a difference.
    19
  300. Schools also elsewhere do not promote creativity. But as adult you have a choice.
    19
  301. šŸ˜† when you said ā€œI see a lot of black couplesā€ I laughed because guess whatā€¦ we got this trend in our community too. More of black women *usually prefer black guys. Black guys usually prefer non black. Black guys are the Asian women in our community basically.
    19
  302. Not asian, but ive also gone thru some terrible shit because of my parents. World's crazy man
    19
  303. I'm proud of you Alex..stay positive and keep on keeping on. As a 52 yr old life long surf traveler my advice is get close to the ocean, start surfing and get a passport. And for life in general it is full of peaks and valleys...cherish the peaks but also cherish the valleys. Aloha
    19
  304. 4:09 I feel this completely. You know whats screwed up? The worse kinds of teachers are the ones who are in our major department. Its so common that professors tend to have the most attitude towards their students. My sanity was almost ruined to the point I wanted to quit. It wasn't until I had two teachers that I vented my frustrations with, and they actually had empathy.
    19
  305. relating to this heavy. keep uploading bro
    19
  306. I think it also ties to the personality of us being genuinely competitive or not Tiger parents only works when a kid is competitive in literally everything. Most of us will be competitive in one or two things and laid back on many others Parents suppose to observe that and apply appropriate type of support, most importantly better ask their little half self whether or not we like to be competitive (tutor route) or laid back (stress reliever hobby route) So many parents failed to do that incuding mine. This video spoken the perfect example of that. Thanks for the vid man
    18
  307. I find it horrifying that so little is not subject of a crisis now. A lot is changing, for the worse. We have to do something to actually shift things towards a positive direction.
    18
  308. Does money and women really make someone a "High Value Man"? Would that really make you a high value man when your high value man status depends on external things? Something happens, like accusations of human trafficking, and you lose all of your money and women. Now you also lost your high value man status. In my opinion, a real masculine man wouldn't give two shits about how others view him. Real man wouldn't put his manhood on external things. If you hang your value on your success with women or money or other external things, you end up losing control over yourself. Now others decide your worth and value as a man and human. I am currently 20 years of age, started hitting the gym and studying hard to become a psychologist, so in the future I can help these lost young men.
    18
  309. I really hope people realize that when AI takes over too many jobs our entire economy is gonna collapse Companies need consumers who buy their products But if no one has money cause they don't have jobs, who is gonna buy their products? We all depend on each other to make the economy work. There is no space for AI as workers only as a tool to be used by workers.
    18
  310. I really appreciate this video for helping me be cautious when planning out my life. Although I genuinely like academics a lot, I will always make sure to listen closely to my mind/body so that I don't make my lifestyle unsustainable. It's important to know that "going all-in" on a goal, if done unsustainably, will result in accomplishing much less than a well-paced, healthy approach. Great video!
    18
  311. "you should never trust a future that's promised to you by someone else", such a real quote in modern day society
    18
  312. Honestly I look at it like this, weā€™re more vulnerable then others since we have actual talents and skills vs people who just use AI and also healthier in a sense since we function on our own creativity from life experiences and understanding what it is to be human. I think you should still do freelance writing and start your own vlog, people will listen.

  314. Alex just live everyday with gratitude man; the opportunities you were given, your parents, your health. Do not live with regret. Go out there and discover how you can be useful to society, nature, the universe. You already taken the first step...

  317. I struggled a long time with music and playing the saxophone in high school. In high school the pressure got so intense to be good that I couldnā€™t sleep and had extreme anxiety. I could somewhat keep up the mirage but it was so hard on me. I think it really ruined my mental health. Later I got a girlfriendā€¦ and I completely dropped the mirage and also just said ā€œI donā€™t careā€. I was much happier. And eventually quit saxophone. Iā€™m now in another cycleā€¦ years later of being in a top company job where Iā€™m feeling challenged and just simply not that interested. But because itā€™s such a prestigious job, itā€™s hard for me to let go. Thanks for sharing this.
    17
  318. The feeling of all the work you did are not appreciated and nobody cares. I personally defined it as "the feeling of wasted effort" - a mix of anger, sadness and disappointments to myself and society
    17
  319. Loved it bro, as a fellow Asian could definitely resonate with this. I am grateful my parents never pushed me this way but has definitely seen cases like happening all around me within the Asian community here in Australia
    17
  320. There's this weird attempt to "assimilate" in the American society too ig. Asian girls in Asia/international students are more rooted in their Asian identity, and don't have that insecurity - so they are happy to stick with Asian guys more.
    17
  321. Great title, great video. I'm in a very similar situation (third year of university). I used to work and study as much as I could because I assumed being the top student would somehow lead to a better life. Things kept getting harder and harder, and I didn't know why I was doing any of it. There was never really an 'end goal,' so I stopped hoping that anything would change. After being mad and depressed for a while, I figured out that I actually really enjoy learning. School was never really the problem, it was just my attitude towards it. I always expected to get something in return for my efforts, but the efforts were actually the reward in the first place, if that makes sense. Learning for the sake of learning is pretty nice.
    17
  322. Im studying "pure" mathematics at university and im in basically in the exact same position you were, i entered the field because i was insecure and wanted the admiration of others and now im struggling to pass my courses ( math is genuinely a fun subject but it feels like im just not smart enough for the subject + it feels like im procrastinating bc i see no future for myself here)
    17
  323. Best of luck to you. It really sucks and makes me so angry that workers are being pushed to the side
    17
  324. It's like in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005, the Johhny Depp version), when Charlie's dad lost his job to a machine, he went back to school and became the person who fixes and maintains that machine.

  327. Hey man , I just wanted to say thank you for making this video.I had a terrible mental breakdown today and I just am trying to fight so many mental health stuff in general .I appreciate it.
    16
  328. Recently started using AI to generate some software and i think in that area it will become a requirement for software developers to embrace and learn this tech. Sad but thats way its going ...
    16
  329. As a young person still in highschool, I hope i dont have to be alone in adulthood. It must really be hard being alone for yall and i hope the younger generation grows smart enough to realize this.
    16
  330. I donā€™t want guys assuming all girls and women hate short men lol, I have nothing against shorter men and I think both men and women who make fun of or demean short men are ridiculous. Same with people who make fun of tall women. Most women who have very strict height stuff (especially when they themselves are short) would in actuality be just fine with a man under 6 foot tall, but those men are not often talked about like theyā€™re attractive on social media and such. Even men tell men that women donā€™t like below average on untall men, that you need to get taller to be found attractive, etc. In general, donā€™t let someone tell you what half the earth is or isnā€™t attracted to. I understand that many people might judge or dismiss you if youā€™re a short man but you gotta find someone that isnā€™t bothered by your height. Most women just like when men are taller than them (usually not too difficult) and a lot of (mostly tall women) like guys that are shorter than them. Thereā€™s always gonna be someone out there who will love and appreciate you if youā€™re a good person so please donā€™t ever settle for someone whoā€™s embarrassed to be seen with you.

  331. This is exactly my situation rn at UC Berkeley! Love the candor and hopefully it gets better

  334. In 2014, I fully went MGTOW. Weird seeing all these terms in the mainstream and everyone is talking about it. The weird part is you donā€™t get the girl before you improve yourself. The girls are waiting at the finish line. After that, I didnā€™t have any interest in woman anymore. I was just dating casually. I wouldā€™ve preferred to have a girlfriend before the improvement part
    15
  335. I'm 30 now, and I'm still feeling the effects of their parenting.
    15
  336. 100% relate. I studied engineering initially in college not because I had any interest but because society respects engineering as a degree with higher pay. Big mistake. Brutal courses and it sent me into a spiral of depression until I left and went back for a different degree. Our culture is one that pushes people relentlessly to just be another cog in the wheel next to the other people who did the same thing. It is not worth it. Not everyone is meant to do this - yet society will push you and also brainwash your thinking to do it anyways. Glad that you found a way out of it because that is a very miserable road to be on. Great video and extremely useful lesson. There's many out there like you.
    15
  337. this video was very insightful. thankyou for sharing your experience, I often get jealous of people who seem to have it all together but someone being honest about how they feel has made me realize some of the things you were internalizing I have also been internalizing though I wasn't experiencing the level of side effects you were. I hope your future is bright and that you are able to find things that inspire you and make you enjoy working hard and that you don't peruse them out of insecurity.
    15
  338. Thank you for this video. I'm in a similar boat. I'm 21 and I'm going to school full-time for computer science while working full-time to pay for it. After already dropping out once due to stress but realizing I couldn't get anything besides crappy jobs without a degree, I felt i had bo choice but to go back. My family is all so happy but im miserable. I grew up in a rough home which definitely set me back socially and I have really bad stress induced acne and as much as I love cheering my friends on it's hard watching them move in and live their lives while mine is just working, going to the gym, and barely sleeping. Every morning I wake up I look in the mirror and I tell myself only a year and a half more to go and then i can finnally start living. I've noticed a link between those who have gone through a rough childhood, and those same people becoming wise, self aware, and moving towards self-actualization. Have you noticed that as well?
    15
  339. I believe that academic smart has to do with being booksmart. It doesn't continue on forever, unless you stay in the academia world. Being streetsmart brings awareness about the external world, such as knowing what is the difference between good and bad, knowing what to do in a specific social situation, etc. In essence, it's good to have a balance between the academic world and the external world.
    15
  340. As a senior in college preparing to graduate, thanks for the advanced notice šŸ˜­ But tbh I plan to continue taking dance classes afterwards so Iā€™m not too worried. Having a hobby/club/social activity and sticking with it truly seems to be the key. Even meeting up with a group a cpl times a month, whether u join a sports club, a chess club, or just go out and find adult friends to hang withā€” Ik I canā€™t exactly speak from experience yet, but having a fulfilling adult social life definitely seems possible šŸ‘ we got this
    15
  341. I genuinely feel that the pandemic has deeply impact communication. Life DURING college, for me, felt lonely because people have difficulties in communicating with each other. Everyone is on their phones so much, and some use it in order to avoid in person conversations. The disconnection felt apparent. The only time I ever felt a sense of community was martial arts class. Other than that, I do agree on all your points. Technology and the pandemic greatly impact people.

  342. Just do it, Alex, chase your dream, make yourself happy - from an Asian mom.

  344. alex. i just wanted to tell you that you are really brave for sharing your story and it inspired me and a lot of others. u are really inspiring and beautiful person and it's really unfortunate what has happened to you in the past but i really think you are a strong individual for overcoming that. you are strong enough to reflect on your past experiences and now sharing your learned knowledge upon others :)
    15
  345. Ā @official_aweiĀ  Yep, I'm the one who was supposed to be studying for my MCAT, but here I am watching your videos lol
    15
  346. I don't have exact same story as you but it's pretty similar. I am stuck doing a engineering degree I do not like for my immigrant father. I have to spend an extra year at another college I was forced to transfer to (top 20 public school, not quite as impressive, same conference however). It genuinely sucks and I have made no friends here. What helps is that even though now my gpa is shit, I know that my worth is not my intelligence, it's how I treat people and how I can help others. I think that's excellent advice. It's good to see you have found a light at the end of tunnel man. Maybe I will find my own.
    15
  347. Yes, I think the west is falling. My grandpa made the point that America has been a nation almost as long as Rome was an empire. Rome didn't last, of course. Eventually, good things come to an end.

  349. As a young Asian male similar to you I can empathize. But keep your chin up, most of us are not passionate about our jobs, in the end itā€™s about putting food on the table. Just enjoy the simple things in life like nature, reading, and take care of your health
    14
  350. One cause is the streets are not walkable, everyone is either at home or in a car. If you live in Asia, you can meet tons of people everyday. The car culture empties everyoneā€™s pocket, makes people lonely and fat.

  355. This is the most relatable video I've seen in a while. I graduated near the top of my undergraduate class with a BS in physics, and over the summer between undergrad and grad I fell deeply in love with rock climbing. Now I'm a little over a year into grad school and I feel like dropping out every day because the mountains are calling. I think my advisor is pissed at me because I spend every day outside instead of in the lab...this video is some good inspiration.

  358. I recently met a really great friend, and itā€™s been such a pleasant surprise. Our conversations started off casual, but we quickly realized we had a strong connection. Now, we meet every week in the park and spend hours talking about everything and nothing. Itā€™s such a refreshing experience, and I truly believe that a good friendship can elevate you in ways you never expect.

  362. Am mexican but I grew up being shy or nerdy , i kinda relate, so in a country like mexico most people are extroverts and it's almost more about drinking, parting all night, and my personality isn't like that at all, I don't drink or smoke, but yeah I am in a similar condition but it's like you say, it's about doing our best to improve ourselves

For me, yeah, School has been holding me back, I'm starting my second year of college in fall and to honest its so miserable, I haven't lost weight, I haven't been to the gym in 8 months, don't have my driver's license, and everything I want to do hasn't been done, so I'm considering spending an extra year of school or somehow lockin in and doing both even though its really hard to do both at the same time, thanks for the video, good to know that there is someone like me I guess too.

  366. Getting fast food and watching UFC alone in your apartment isnā€™t depressingā€”itā€™s a blessing. We often take for granted the peace and stability of our lives, forgetting that true happiness depends not on external circumstances but on how we perceive reality. Isnā€™t it remarkable that we donā€™t have to live in fear of bombs falling on our homes or struggle to find our next meal under a bridge? What some might call "loneliness" can actually be independenceā€”the ability to take responsibility for your own life and well-being. Thereā€™s no real reason to feel depressed, sad, or angry about life simply because it didnā€™t match an imagined ideal. Some may argue that a calm, tranquil existence is boring, but isnā€™t it better than deliberately making yourself miserable over unmet expectations? Happiness isnā€™t about constant excitement; itā€™s about appreciating what you have and finding peace within yourself.

  370. I can relate. CorpoRATS are currently crushing most software engineers, I'm burning out slowly and I feel like i have zero alternative. Even if i go the freelance way, corporats will still expect for the same results. It ain't worth the squeeze. I borderline want to throw my life savings at becoming an electrician or welder.

  373. Hey Alex! I love your videos. I'm throwing my opinion out here since based on the comments, it sounds like your viewership is mostly male! But as a woman, respectfully I disagree with some of your points...especially labelling women into buckets like "DAMP." We're half the population! I don't think we can be categorized into a pithy acronym based on a trend you saw on your college campus. That's like me saying all men are misogynists who do not respect their partners. Sweeping generalizations like this destroy the dialogue before it can begin. I believe there is a lot of factors at play for why the dating market is broken, and historical context is important here. For example, it was only in 1970's that women could own property without a male co-signer, and since then, women have claimed their right to education and power that were not earlier granted to them. For generations, we'd been designated as the child-rearers and nothing more (called the "cult of domesticity"), and we did not have other options available to us. But now, the tide is shifting. Women outnumber men in terms of college grads. We now no longer need men to survive the way we did before (which is a good thing!), so now, we look for partnership that includes love, equality, respect, etc., more than just financial stability. Unfortunately, some - and I say some - men have not caught up to this idea yet. They believe that them having financial stability should be enough, and they blame women for only going for "attractive" men, which absolves themselves of the need for them to perhaps work on being a good partner by cultivating qualities like: being a good conversationalist (asking about your partner, showing genuine interest in their interests), contributing to the household equally (knowing how to cook, clean, effectively plan out trips or events), emotional intelligence (recognizing emotions and learning to have difficult conversations), taking on half the mental load of managing a partnership (checking in to see how the relationship is going, working on the relationship when things get hard). These are not things historically men were expected to bring to the table. They just had to be the breadwinners, and women the child-rearers and givers of emotional support. But now that those delineated roles are blurring and women are taking on more traditionally male roles, I think it's only fair to say that men should also be taught to take on more traditionally female roles, like managing a household effectively and putting in equal work to raise a child. (Studies show that while men believe they do contribute equally to child-rearing, the reality may be different. To men's credit, they contribute to child-rearing more than ever before...and I truly believe they're doing a good job of trying to close the equality gap overall). I just wanted to put in my two cents here, because I love your content, but I think the dating market is broken due to so MANY reasons, many of which are conflated and hard to separate. I agree dating apps aren't helping, and women perhaps do gain an inflated sense of self from getting so many matches on apps, but that doesn't mean that's the full story...both men and women are experiencing hardship in today's dating market. Women's rights are being decided by government, to name one example. Men and women are learning and experiencing these growing pains together as society changes, but painting one gender as the cause of the problem is going to polarize and separate us more. I think these issues are ones we can work together to solve if we talk to each other and keep an open mind!

  374. I'm retired in my mid 60s, and I agree with pretty much everything you said. I salute your bravery. We're going into something new. The old way of destroying our planet must necessarily cease. You and others like you will be the pioneers of what's to come. I welcome it, whatever it turns out to be.

  378. Pretty good vid that i agree with everything! Wishing you the best man! Height disadvantage is real and it drives me nuts that's it's not even widely awknowledged. The worst part to me however is how people can be straight up so mean about it online. Fatphobia is a similar case but at least fat people can do something about it in most cases + getting fit is actually a benefit for their health... And even then, the medias try so hard to normalize/defend being overweight. But for short guys? Absolutely no pity. People with laugh at you and enjoy tearing you down for something you can't control. You can't do anything to improve your height, only compensate elsewhere to patch the disadvantage. Personally i'm one of those who had bad luck with the height lottery, being only 5'5. I generally live ok with it. I try not to let it get to me too much although I hate being towered by 90% of guys i meet and a decent amount of girls too. Never had success with girls either but tbh I never really tried so that's on me. But you said it best; there's no point in complaining and being a victim so I better get to work. ...Unfortunately for me I also happen to be a bit socially awkward and not make the most $$$ + I think modern girls are putrid in their values and looks.. So maybe i'll think twice before dating, but hey i'll still try to improve just to feel better in my own skin.

  379. If you could go back, what would you major in? Or would you not go to college at all?
    13
  380. I tried to do the forcing the 9-5 thing. Like way back I would totally ignorant that being really good at STEM things and kinda enjoyed the education in STEM actually DOESN'T inherently imply being a total egghead and being suited to the conventional STEM career approach. I was starting to put together that I was not of the temperament, and mentality of other formerly high performing in education of hard subject matters. However, I thought that well how bad could it really be if I have the technical skills, a lucrative income is pretty motivating so far as extrinsic motivation goes it ain't intrinsic motivation but it is better than no education, I'm a social chameleon anyway I am just going to put up with it and there shouldn't be too much trouble if I could just maintain that inauthenticity. To past me's credit that did actually work for a bit of time, but ultimately, I became extremely implosive and that was bad for my conventional career reputation anyway and high level well-rehearsed anger management techniques work only up to a certain point trying to be that inauthentic. If I didn't just drop the delusion about my improper motivation and self-betrayal I'm pretty sure it would just be an eerily reminiscent of the previous career 5 year cycles start off with some growing pains compared to the average but having the interest, motivation and enthusiasm that the acclimation lagging is trivial, then eventually start hitting the stride having the in role skills just meteorically rising and still able to maintain the forced optimism. Hit a snag and start to feel jaded as misstep is treated like it nihilifies the large satisfactory body of work like some Kafkaesque nightmare, become really resentful but successfully suppress evidence of resentful culminating in a "When Keeping it Real Goes Wrong" style screaming match diatribe like a total lunatic getting the bankers box and then telling them I don't need it because it isn't like there is anything there of value NOTHING at that circus was of value everyone else has tons of personal affects in their cubicles because they sandbag really hard I didn't have personal affects because I go to work to go to work I actually do my job. It is like the Stanford Prison Experiment and Dilbert amalgamation the manager almost has role conformity to incompetence the coworkers are successful at booty-smooching and make asinine advice animal style image macro type meme about the office within the office. Yeah, that's how you get ahead wasting time making memes in a format that has been out of style for a decade already. TLDR No one unsuited for the 9-5 should ignore the advice to not try to force it self-betrayal always ends poorly. Don't try to masquerade as a drone it does work but only for a very short span of time.

  384. I was a computer science major and also an information technology major. I did try and put in all the time and effort in knowing the concepts and theories, but just couldnā€™t get through with it even though theyā€™re only first year classes. I decided to go to community college for a couple of semesters and my mom suggested that I do business management as my major. So I took a couple classes there and realized I was happier doing this field of study instead. Fast forward to today and Iā€™m a back at my old University. Iā€™m also a couple semesters away from getting my bachelors in business management.

  392. This video actually could make a difference for me. I'm 17 and doing my last year in high school. (In Belgium, so it might be a bit different.) I'm highly interested in studying physics, but I'm scared that I can't make a living of that. Rent in Belgium is also very high, and I don't see myself with a partner (especially one that brings home the bacon) for few years. So I'll probably do something else (I'm interested in more domains of science and engineering) but it will still be a shame. I do really like your approach and positivism, but those are sadly not traits that I own. In any case, I wish you all the luck in the world that one day you'll find your dream job.

    12
  395. You bought into an image, brother. I went to school and triple majored in math, physics, and comp Sci.. I went on to pursue a PhD in math. I left solely after finishing my qualifying exams and starting my dissertation to pursue an opportunity in industry that would enable me to help my family. I grew up in a rough place too, and managed to get out. Almost a decade later, I can tell you safely that exiting was the best choice for me. I have a meaningful, well-paying career doing industrial R&D, a healthy work-life balance, etc. Academia is toxic; it wasnā€™t until I left that I realized the damage I was causing to my mental well-being. Many of my peers have done or are doing the same. Couple your physics with IT/SWE skills, and gain some business acumen. Math, physics, etc. alone are useless. Pair them with a secondary skill and you become a star. Good luck, man!

  398. kind of in a similar pickle which is why i launched this youtube channel to teach people how to speak english in my own, fun, unique way. often don't know what the ** I'm doing, and arguing with parents about quitting. every decision that is ahead of me nowadays is a high-stake decision, got out of an amazing relationship because the family is racist and she received threats to her life, and yea.....man if u wanna do the sort of thing that me and u are doing, it's roughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. But yea i've done this experiment before without going into as much detail as you went. i told it that i like geography and cultures and am naturally linguistically inclined, and it told me either international relations or continue tutoring pretty much.....or maybe cultural consulting, though not sure how to launch a career through that. regardless, it's a fantastic exercise to gain some direction in life. i salute you brother

  399. Along with what you said, develop your personality. Have a positive outlook on life, learn to take things less seriously, and focus on the things that make you happy. Get out of your own head: youre short, so what? Live your lives. It wont be easy, but dont make it more difficult than it has to be by dwelling on something out of your control

  401. This is indeed a problem, and every single start-up out there is working on how to place AI into as many business processes as possible. While I do agree that making yourself irreplaceable is one important goal to work towards, it is a bandaid, as I'm sure once startups are done automating low-hanging fruit, they will be going for the "irreplaceable" people. I like your other recommendation, which is to become self-sufficient and try not to depend on an employer anymore. The good thing about it is that we can start researching and using those AI tools ourselves to give us that advantage.

  403. Hey man, props to you for giving serious consideration to your path. I think you can take 2 perspectives or considerations to people working 9-5s. First its not necessarily from a defeatist mindset, and just conceding or conforming to society. People have different aspirations, and do the best in their ability and possibly limitations to just live out their lives. People are fundamentally similar in that we all have basic needs, can be creatures of comfort seeking the past of least resistance (a normal biological adaptation), and pursue some kind of happiness whether that be in ourselves, other people, and interests. It may not be a concession or implication that those who do not try to "elevate" themselves beyond the 9-5 are just mere NPCs. The alternate as you allude can be true also, where people pursue a career without full honesty to themselves compromising on potential physical and mental needs, or perhaps using it as an excuse for inaction. I bring up both scenarios to say that both are true and its hard to generalize one perspective. I think the important thing as you progress through your 20s is to pursue life with humility and compassion. Judging others is really a reflection of more on your character and who you are, vs the depiction you create for others. I say these things as someone who's been through a traditional pursuit in engineering degree, post graduated having worked in Japan as an apprentice in my passion, returning to the states in pandemic returning to my prior career, and finally being able to start off in my own business relating to my passion full time. You're 100% correct that you just need to be honest with yourself all the time and always confirm that you conduct yourself with a self imposed integrity of your beliefs. Life can also be very harsh and unfair, but I think working hard in your pursuits while cognizant of all of this is the right combo that leads to success.
    11
  404. Youā€™re not crazy, but the most genuine guy on YouTube. You hit the nail on the head here about how anxiety-provoking and disconnected from humanity these apps are. Sure, rejection and anxiety are part of the learning process, but itā€™s better to have it happen face to face than to be strung along on some app. Also, if, like in my case, you have a profile up for months and donā€™t get any responses, that feels like the whole WORLD is rejecting you. Thatā€™s a heavy weight to carry. I think doing shared interests with others would be a good place for us to start.
    11
  405. Thank you so much for making this video man. I'm 17, pretty ugly, super unconfident, and have an unattractive personality. There's even a friend group of girls in my school who make fun of me cause I tried to hit on their friend like a year ago. Stuff has been rough, but I honestly have hope that I'll be able to turn things around and this video gave me hope.

  406. Personally I got a bachelors in Botany in the late 1980ā€™s. Went back to school for Nursing in 2017 and I can say college has gone downhill.

I have heard several travel nurses tell me they have experienced the same so itā€™s not confined to any geographical area. Just my opinion. šŸŽ‰

I am asking him to jump ropes daily and stay fit. I am fully aware of your feelings. Life is very tough for us short Asian guys!

  409. Ā @official_aweiĀ  I'm Chinese too bro, from HK, piano was also forced upon me and my mum kept gaslighting me that it was me who asked to take piano lessons but I had no memory of it, she did it just to guilt trip me for not playing a certain amount of hours each day and passing those exams, even though engineering has always been my passion, they at the point of application to uni, tried to just fit me into the norm of civil engineering that is the norm in HK for stable government job with good pay, which wasn't my interest at all and I'm glad I did for once discard their shadow on me and changed it to mechanical engineering, despite I think I would enjoy physics more, among my many other interests, I had to fight the people whom are supposed to provide support instead of shoving me into the manufacture line

I did really well in high school, put a lot of pressure on myself to succeed, got into a good school, and then certain disability stuff came up, I got so stressed I had immense pains across my whole body and heart, and ended up leaving the school. But Iā€™m starting community college near my partner and best friends that I care about with higher hopes as you have for yourself. I also plan on getting out in nature more as well. I wisy you the best of luck and will sub to follow along.

  416. I fell out with that modern self improvement community really early on and I started reading more Aurelius, Mushashi and a little Nietzsche and continued the gym and diet grind. I felt the core nature of this ā€œred pillā€ or self improvement market felt overly materialistic and shallow while I was just looking for a real direction and a general purpose in life and to just find that. I just believe that in its core self improvement isnā€™t a one thing that works for all. We need to really reflect within and ultimately find our own unique and independently purposes and drive. I went from looking like the typical discord mod into becoming a leaner, muscular, hygienic and groomed me. However, for me I notice now more than ever that itā€™s what beyond the surface that also needs addressing. Like, what can I do to maintain these good habits and get more good habits. Ultimately I believe we shouldnā€™t strive to become what others say we should be, we need to strive to become the best us and itā€™s ultimately only ourselves that can decide that.

  417. I agree with this heavily, back in April I decided to finally pick up a book and read it for fun and not some school assignment and then after that one I read another and another and now reading is one of my favorite hobbies. I look back at the times when I would get sad and just scroll on tiktok to see more posts about being sad to try and feel validated, but it would honestly make me feel like shit. For the past few weeks, I've stopped watching short form content and doing more things that require me to have a longer attention span and I realized how bad things like Tiktok are for people. It's sad seeing so many people just open up tiktok and scroll away when they have a life to live and so many things to indulge in that would actually help them succeed in the future rather than giving them short boosts of dopamine that they'll forget about in the next second. Excellent video!

  419. Thank you, im a senior right now in the college process this means a lot. This strengthens my believes to follow a passion I want to do not for others. Btw i would just say apply what you learned from your physics knowledge into something you love doing. I believe you will be successful and donā€™t think as time wasted but development.

Also Im bored of all people there, they always just talk about the same stuff allday . I heard all of the jokes like a million times already . I heard all their life storys.. It feels like they are not moving in life and Im also not. Im there for already a couple of years and the work now is every day the same.. I know everything so well , I just could close my eyes and do my work.. Sorry man , but thats not how I imagined life. I need to get out of this rat trace asap.

  432. Hustle culture makes us appreciate less of the small things and focuses on the big picture ( the big. picture is important for goal achievements that have a meaningful significance, unless it's a fruitless pursuit). I guess hustle culture is a catalyst for motivation up to an extent. Beyond that, it takes a toll on the mental well-being.

  433. Bro, this is exactly my life, except I am a woman.

  434. As a woman who grew up and lives in the suburbs, it's definitely possible to find a group of wholesome people or a partner to surround yourself with! Most of my peers, men and women, don't have many superficial standards besides personal hygiene and social etiquette and I'm grateful for that! In high school, I used to think my 'outcast' group of friends were too 'uncool' because they never did things like drinking, partying, and such but I'm grateful to have such caring friends at the time. I think, although there are many people who invest more into superficial or temporary aspects of life, there's also many people (women included) who live life in a more whole way. There're many people in the world and to know what values you want to share with people, it takes reflection. Because at the end of life, what's important is how you spent your time, no one gets to keep anything after it ends.

  435. So When I was young, I was really good looking. But as time went by, I fell sick and became obese.. Now Im fat, ugly and lost all my self confidence. Im planning to go into a top college, my but my mom told me not to hit the gym so that I can allocate more time in college application building. As Im 16, she told me not to go on a diet because I still have potential to grow taller. Now what do you think I should do?

  436. I really loved hearing your perspective on modern life and life in generall. I will become a freelancer too, and i am working hard everyday to achieve it. I really can't work a 9 to 5 too, it makes me depressed and just unhappy. Life is really too short to do something you don't like doing all day. I work on my computer a lot, and i notice it very strongly when it gets too much of being inside and sitting too much. Nature is really healing and so welcoming. It makes a huge difference!

  444. Men, I had the same shit childhood but I was very poor and living in a harsh environment seeing my parents fighting every day and my mom forced me to study so hard that I could graduate as mechanical engineer but now with 49 years old, I could realize like u that world is really unfair with subiological people. After many years suffering from many reasons, now like u I HAVE already decided to quit my stable work as a worm and public parasites and find a new purpose in life. I tried to do my best, but the world made me a loser and the best healing way now as a single, no friends, no social life, no family (everybody died) since childhood is living with our nature and our Universal GOD. I hope u have more lucky than me and not becoming a loser like me. My whole life was a meaningless shit outcome. Like u said, even if u do ur best, if THE WORLD doesn't recognize ur effort it will be meaningless and a waste of time.

  459. The situation is not as dire as it seems. Dating apps are turning men into doomers en masse since so many of the women on them are the materialistic type. It makes it seem like those loud tiktok types are all there is- but your dream girl wouldn't want to use tiktok, tinder or any other degenerate platform. More men just need to switch to real life, there are still people outside, the healthy ones with better upbringing.

  463. Amazing video bro ā¤, Tateā€™s advice was shallow and in hindsight, heā€™s a very flawed person but at that time, it really did seem like he had all the answers. Right place at the right time I guess.

  464. 13:33 dawg really redefining what fighting an ailment means lol. Nah for real I had a similar story to you. I am south Asian and moved to the states at age 5. While I was never the top student like you, I was always among the best. I distinctly remember my father leaving a scar on my left shoulder that lasted for years because I did not get into one of the elite high schools in our city. I really did try and when I did not get in I coped by saying I didn't even want to go to my mother and that entered my father's ears and the next time he saw me studying to retake the test again in 9th grade (you can do this for admission to 10th grade). That is when he left me that scar. I can go on and on but I feel like all of this is what led me to make the decisions I did in college. I studied Computer Science and had enough credits to also major in math but decided against it. When I worked as a software engineer my father would tell all of his friends when I specifically told him not to say anything. He would even make things up to "elevate me" which is really just him elevating himself. It's all materialistic bullshit. I have come to a similar conclusion to you. I also realized that men in particular are the best when we actually lean into our masculine traits such as combat sports. But I was never allowed to do these things because "if I studied, the lower level jobs will be taken care of by lesser people". Think about how fucked that a is thinking someone is lesser because they are not as accomplished as you academically or had the same opportunities as me (I came from an immigrant home where education was of paramount importance and also have doctors and physics majors in my family. The programming started young for me). Materialism fueled by arrogance is what that is. I am seriously considering take a few month "mini retirement" as outlined in Tim Ferris's "The 4 hour work week" to Thailand and hire a pro may Thai fighter as my personal coach. My ultimate goal is to start gyms where I can teach other young men in my community that "yes, it's okay to have balls despite how much your parents tried to castrate you on all levels apart from physical". Great video. Also UMich rejected me :( so screw your alma mater lol.

  467. Congrats on your progress towards a better life. I did some of the same things in the 1980's and I eventually learned just to learn the skills that make me useful. Some of my classmates wound up as school teachers, wall street quant's, computer science and engineers. Physics does teach you how to solve problems step by step and many people find that hard to learn. It's the skill that made me a success. Good Luck.

  468. bro when you said you went to one of the top high schools and showed BCA I nearly jumped cuz I also went there lmfao.

  469. I have such a similar story. Thanks for sharing. I was valedictorian in high school, nationally ranked in debate, first chair in band, and got near perfect test scores for college. This made me so miserable for most of my adolescent life. I am so happy more people are talking about this. I watched the Goobie video too and now I'm seeing more and more videos like these. It's great to see that this topic is becoming more of a movement here on Youtube. Maybe I'll even post my own version of this one day. Keep it up, thanks for sharing so much <3.

  470. I wouldn't go to college either, I should have just went straight into plumbing. Even with my associates being free along as I have a high enough GPA (Community College) idk if im gonna ever get a job out of it and even thinking of working 9-5 until i retire is kind of depressing.

  476. Iā€™m your height. It took a while, but when I realized my size was chosen by God not me, I accepted it, figured He knows what Heā€™s doing and relaxed. Iā€™m happy with my size. Then I had girlfriends, quite a few really good ones. You are right to be your best physically, but girls respond to even short guys when you are fine with yourself and shift your interest to them instead of yourself. Yes, some rejected me outright, but thatā€™s their problem not mine. I give my time to the ones who respond to me with a sweet smile and a friendly conversation. Make friends first. Enjoy talking to one another, being together hanging out. Dating comes later. Be thankful for what you have. I hope you have a great life. You are handsome and fit. Be patient and the right one will come along.

  478. Hey man I never comment on vids but as someone who went down ur EXACT path up to the end of college i feel you. Ive been out for like 6 years and now im chillin in Japan teaching English and its pretty cool. Ambition is great and all but ambition informed by judgement by others is a no-fly zone. Also pretty cool that u had the courage to drive across the country and that ur doin YT, much luck out there, it doesnt get easier šŸ«°

  479. Your channel is starting to blow up bro, keep grinding!

  480. I am a very old viewer of yours by the way... Way back when you used to do political commentary
    8
  481. I'll be honest with you, a story if you will. It is related to your video, sort of, don't worry. I tried telling my audience that I'd work on a fiction character using WolframAlpha, and in the end, I just used it for a constants-and-symbol map key. For now, anyway. I wanted to make a map of how a Swift Star attack would shift in charge/size for a fanmade character. And, it was hard to picture. But, eventually, a few days after having painted a box with my own patience, and learning about the shape of a brachistochrone, I learned a pattern by looking a bit at nature; by just looking out my window and seeing a leaf-bare tree, a snow slope, and smoke from a chimney and using logistics to determine how their shapes behave or operate in relations to brachistochrones and each other. I know this is a strange outcome, but here's the kicker: I worked on the Swift Star attack because I didn't trust the algorithm on YouTube telling me to work on a flower's theme song first. Basically, if you want to accomplish something in this waffer-thin landscape, prepare for PTSD, and just remain calm. Stay the course and be a good champion in your eyes, not necessarily in the eyes of a bot takeover. A.I. /can/ 'feel sorry for you', but at the same time, you got to make choices that echo your proxy. On a tangent, if you want to help me with my math problem for a fan character I'm working on, you may. I'm kind of working on it and could use a human touch to really bring it home. A pure human touch. It wouldn't (maybe) be for pay perse, but if it helps your portfolio, or if we can work something out in case it is a desperate time for you, feel free to contact, or just, you know, I can ask if you're okay from time to time if that's more your style.

  482. keep the momentum going. ur already doing great.

  483. I want to improve myself as well but I didnā€™t want to live in the UAE because I didnā€™t feel free there and exploitation is rampant there. Most people say I have a handsome face so I never cared about look maxing and I barely even know what that means. What I am doing to improve myself currently that is actually beneficial is quit bad habits, work out, and improving my skill set. My goals, well I have many goals, but two of them are becoming the best programmer in the world and getting married and starting a family.

  487. At 35, I'm pretty much alone. Only people I've got in my life is my family including siblings I share a house with, and work colleagues. I'm also thankful for what I've got but there are days I wish I was bad in school or college where I have an actual social life, let alone life partner.

  488. Throughout the video I continued to feel inspired realizing that I could truly choose to be happy outside of societal means (material gain) but I also had some doubt. After being programmed a certain way itā€™s hard to break out of bad habits but I truly believe my desires are different from others and I want to live the happiest life possible. Thank you for posting this šŸ™.

  489. These are some of my favorite videos at the moment. Without a ton of cuts constantly it really makes these videos feel more like a conversation.

  490. Blackpill has gotten me more girls than so called "confidence" ever has. Like you said in another vid, your personality is viewed through the lens of your looks. Unfortunately I'm a ginger but I have a more masculine face (big jaw, brow bone etc). I tend to wear a hat and or straighten my hair to get an eboy look to balance it out. Gingers and Asians got it rough but we'll both make it work šŸ˜‚

  497. Nah cause I low key high school college and all that stuff ( Iā€™m in 8th grade) and my mom crashes out when I have bs or b+ and my mom wants me to be in a iv league college with a scholarship which kinda scares me when Iā€™m not doing well because I always have bs and as but never just as

  500. Itā€™s frustrating bc finding the right person often feels like pure luck. People tell you to ā€œwork on yourselfā€ or ā€œfocus on your goals,ā€ but you can do all that and still not find a suitable partner. Meanwhile, those in messy situations are already in relationships. Like wtfff

  505. I never thought about this. But it makes a lot of sense. I always bought into the 'personality is most important' line but I realized that the looks and superficiality element usually gets tossed to the wayside. And it actually is just as if not more important than having attitude and charisma. And then guys are left wondering why personality is never enough. Good video.

  506. Thanks for your video! Iā€™m a Brit living in Australia and this popped up and I thought Iā€™d give a watch, I love it, continue being you, I hope youā€™re now fulfilling your life dreams and donā€™t ever stop watching UFC, I try to explain to my girlfriend that itā€™s not just about people trying to kill each other, thereā€™s a back story and thereā€™s people to root for, good people and without out UFC there would be a huge gap in my life. Keep up the great content and good luck!

I didn't pass calculus 2 when 2020 pandemic happen and I am self study calculus 2 and physic 1 for a curiosity and retaking calc 2 in 2024 fall. Also what your experience in physics 1-3 calc based and upper physics world. I am curious of physics world and what your tips.

  515. Yeah having profs like this isn't uncommon. Even though what she said wasn't acceptable, at least it was a wake up call for you to realize it wasn't your forte. I agree that giving up isn't always as bad as people make it out to be. There were times when I gave up on certain things, and I'm glad I did ā€”or else, my life would be miserable. Props to you for getting that physics degree though!Ā Even though I didn't majored in physics, after taking a physics 2 (E&M) class I was like nah how do people do this lol Edit: idk why my comment feels like I'm answering a discussion post for an assignment lmao

  521. I almost got sucked into academia. My senior year of college, a couple of professors were impressed with how well I wrote my research papers. They wanted me to go to Graduate School. I had no interest in that. I had similar situations to you. I was very unhealthy and had no social life. I ate garbage all the time. I still had work to do, but it would have been worse if I had gone to graduate school. Don't blame you man. Love and hugs going out to you. Great content.

  522. I work 9-5 and make more money than most entrepreneurs. Sometimes its fine to do so :)
    7
  523. I'm in a similar boat, except I didn't go to a prestigious university, I did civil engineering as my bachelor's. I hated the last few years and realized it wasn't for me. Covid made me graduate a few years later because I was failing my classes, took me 6 years in total. Now I've been unemployed for two years, I attempted to apply for masters to try to move away from civil engineering but I really didn't want to study anymore. Now I plan to move back to my country and hopefully get a job as a cashier or sales in a department store. Personally I wouldn't mind a 9-5 job. Honestly I wish I had a bigger backbone when I was 18 so I could have said no to my parents pressuring me to go to collage.

  526. Iā€™ve been saying this ever since I watched a few videos from this guy after somebody recommended me his stuff, but Hamza looked to me like the kind of person that seems quite bloated by his own ego and reputation. Him using that reputation to his advantage was only a matter of time tbh. Thatā€™s how brands work. Donā€™t get me wrong, the messages he spreads are good for young men, but he seems to look at himself as a fully grown man with so much knowledge to share when heā€™s only 25 which has always been a little ridiculous to me. Most of his community is younger than him and very much idolize his behaviour, but itā€™s a destructive ego boost that he needs to learn to control asap because I can see it backfiring in his face eventually. Iā€™m glad youā€™ve noticed these things though because, at the end of the day, no matter how good someone seems, you should never let their words completely guide your life. Experience brings knowledge, not character. You donā€™t have to agree with what I say either btw. This is just my general opinion on gurus haha

  529. I absolutely wasted my first 2 years of college grinding harder on my academics now. Iā€™m a junior now and have completely checked out and am basically living up on the strong academic base I built the passed 2 years. I put no effort in anymore and have never been happier in my life. My social life is vibrant for the first time in 6-7 years and I am seeing a girl for the first time after abstaining for essentially my entire youth. Donā€™t buy into the grind set mind set because these companies just wanna ship our jobs off anyways. I see a lot of myself in Luigi. I graduated near top of my class in hs and was always very academically strong and even had violent fantasies almost identical to what Luigi carried out no less than a year ago. Iā€™m doing better tho

  531. Wtf. I never thought I would ever say this. I used to be fat boy at school who was addicted to bad things and played pc games all day. After watching UFC, I joined MMA gym. Now im addicted to MMA . I love training more than anything else in this world. If i have nothing else to do, I would be training at gym all day. I have got abs and good body now, became confident and I think MMA changed me whole as a person. I train kickboxing , boxing , jujutsu and wrestling . Never realized this could be this fun. My only regret is I should have started this earlier. MMA is like a game but you upgrade your character in the real world. Make yourself some street fighter/tekken type characters but in real life. Striking, grappling is an art. I hate my old version now. I will win some amateur fights this year and keep on grinding

    7
  548. i generally agree with this video, but this can be pulled further out of dating into general life. i also lived those two lives like you did. people are more likely to do a favor or hold a conversation with you, in general youre just more of a presence in a social setting. however i disagree with your emphasis on looks in dating. ive seen countless examples from my own social circle or just going about my day seeing a guy with a girl more attractive than him or a guy straight up average or below average looking with an attractive girl. i definitely do think looks get you in the door a lot of the time but disagree that this rule is as absolute as u describe. great vid šŸ‘

  552. It's usually the limited time we have that makes the relationships with folks around us very precious, because if the time was unlimited, then we wouldn't appreciate those around us a lot. There are criterias, however. Such as how you've been treated with that person, whether the values both parties have are reliable and similar for the long-run, etc.

  557. Alex, I really appreciate you being vulnerable and showing us what your life is actually like bc not many people have the guts to do that.

  559. Another problem with women nowadays is that while they want a man thatā€™s better than them, theyā€™ll get intimidated if you have certain attributes much better than them. I have had plenty of women say they are not interested simply because Iā€™m ā€œtoo bigā€ although I have never touched a steroid. All women want a good looking man but sometimes if you look too good, you make them look bad.

  560. Youā€™re obviously academically gifted, but physics is hard and that seems like most of the problem. Are you thinking of going to grad school for a way easier subject or something youā€™re actually interested in? Just a suggestion bro, good luck šŸ’ŖšŸ½

  563. im really thankful for the person that i am, im tall and have nice hair and face, the only problem im facing right now is that i suck horribly in school. like i was bad in math since 4th grade! and my other classes were mostly average, and i was extremely lazy about it, and im facing financial problems in my life so if i dont get my shit together and at least try i will stuck like this forever. i really dont want the fate that my father had to take, HE was very handsome and tall too but since he had a very financially bad childhood and a veery uneducated family (my grandmother didn't go to any school) he had a rough childhood and sadly even after trying his best he wasn't able to get his degree or have a succesful carrier, my only hope right now is problably working to my best abilites and being a aircraft technician like my big brothers, right now im learning german and i hope i will learn it well. thank you for this video and giving thought-provoking ideas.

  565. I feel that with every video I watch here I am able to connect to exactly how you feel. This video has me thinking because I am going through something similar in school as well. I donā€™t really know whether your target audience is looking for this content, but I find these videos very meaningful to me. Overall, your channel has really turned my life around. I mean it. I have gone through changes I never knew I could possibly do from your self-improvement videos, and as I go on to college, I am really questioning where I am taking my life. I am young so I am not one to give advice for your life, but all I can say is that I hope you find meaning in the work that you pursue in the future and do not do something that you wonā€™t love. I wish I was able to explain how much impact your advice has given me. I really canā€™t find words to express my appreciation.

  574. I am currently 14 , I can fully relate to this .Before lockdown , I use to be fat ,small and tho not ugly but after I hit my puberty , I didn't cared about my looks and I ended up becoming ugly. when I started 8th grade (after lockdown) I was pretty weak , ugly and short (5'2 ,) so I did got bullied alot . So I started doing physical activities , trying to get better and fill that gap . Now it's almost end up of 9th grade , I have gotten 5'8(surpassed genes by 5inches) and pretty much better look than before (got jawline + neat hair) and also has gotten better physically and academically too :) guess I wasn't the one that faced harsh things

  581. I really like your videos, you are a very captivating speaker. Would love to hear what came next- how did you rediscover yourself and so on.. Funny, that I had similar childhood being eastern european. I remember looking out the window seeing kids playing outside and going back to study and tend to my depressed mother while my father would work and except only A+ from me. I suffered many mental breakdowns in uni because of the pressure I was under and it took me 10 years to recover. Now my family hates me. So, that' my reward I guess. One small other thing- I dont really feel like the AI generated images are working. They are killing the vibe. Any stock image would be better. Waiting on other videos!

  589. I can relate to this. I got a Masters in Manufacturing Systems Engineering and have worked for 4 different companies in one year and a half and to see how cutthroat a lot of these companies are, it makes no sense with putting companies ahead of my passion and health. Now Iā€™m looking at other alternatives in life because this whole matrix we live in is a lie.

  590. Man I feel like this video was put on my feed by some higher power just for me to see. Everything you said in this video is exactly what Iā€™m going through. Pursuing the physics degree, feeling like I wonā€™t get anywhere in the end from trying this hard, and just overall seeking this degree simply because I want to feel better about myself. Iā€™m glad you shared this because thereā€™s definitely plenty of people who feel the same way. Take me for example. I hope youā€™re feeling better with what youā€™re pursuing or with what you plan to pursue in the future man šŸ¤

    6
  593. I definitely get how you feel. I'm currently in college for a Computer Science degree and the amount of people who admit to using AI in their daily lives (even professors) scares me that there isn't going to be a place for me in the future. I'll never use AI because it'd be like admitting defeat. Why should I go to college when I know I'll just be replaced or prevented from getting a job I wanted?

  595. Totally relatable. I've been through this when I first started college during the 2021 pandemic and about to graduate in a few months. Unfortunately, the situation hasn't changed a lot since I study at a commuter school ( which sucks because most people go home after classes). Given it's a commuter school, most students are local, already know each other for a long time, and are somewhat cliquey and gatekeeping because they're already aware of the "commuter school" environment. I'd also like to point out that with the rise of hustle culture and career growth, people will network and make friends/ connections just for the sake of "career opportunities". It's as if they made their identity "corporate" rather than based on hobbies, which makes it feel unauthentic. ( In other words, the inner child disappears -> cry face). As for dating/relationships category, speaking as a guy, I'll just say.... the scene sucks. You spend more time competing to trying to get into a relationship rather than enjoying it ( I might be overthinking this). In other words, our ancestors didn't use technology to compete to get into relationships, and given that, our brains aren't designed to handle frequent quick dopamine boosts of swiping left/right/ whatever you call it. IMO, Gen Z will compete to show best dressing ( which ties to your idea of superficiality), which can be somewhat toxic. I really liked this video. It's a struggle, but we all have positive intentions to live a happy, loooong life.

  603. Hey brotha, I am very grateful for the comment you left. Thank you for the support. Although I am still trying to figure it out myself, if I can give you any advice, it would be this: Try to find YOUR unique angle. (Check out the book "Blue Ocean Strategy" if you're a reader.) There are many, many self improvement channels, all saying similar things. When you create a self improvement channel, you're competing with huge channels that already have fanbases, years of experience, and often entire teams creating the videos. Really try to give some thought about what makes your journey unique - maybe it's the journey of self improvement as an Asian American, maybe it's the dichotomy of having Asian parents and growing up in the Western World. Maybe it's being real and sharing your struggles/growth like you did at 1:19, and articulating how your mindset shifted and the effect it had on your life. Give this the most thought. "What makes my perspective different?" When you find it, double down on it. Your people will find you. You got this, homie!

  605. Dude that's so relatable for me. While I don't have a crazy backstory of being abused or something like that (thankfully, I have a loving family), I was pretty much a lonely loser fo the last couple of years. I had no real friends (I tried hard to fit into a group, but they didn't really care about me), I had a shit diet, didn't do any sport whatsoever and just wasted a lot of time on the internet. But at some point I watched an anime about boxing (Hajime no Ippo) and that was really relatable, because in the beginning of the anime Ippo was pretty much in the same situation as me. So that kinda got me into boxing and I started watching youtube videos about boxing and then after some point I discovered MMA / UFC. As soon as I watched that I was like "I want to do that too", so I joined a Muay Thai gym and started improving my life in general (better diet, working out, fixing my sleep, leaving that gruop of "friends" and so on). I'm 16 now (soon to be 17) and I am dedicated to training and bettering myself and I would love to make a career out of MMA.

  609. In this whole story I don't understand one thing: if he was that wealthy, why didn't he go abroad to get good treatment instead of doing what he did? There are countries where you can get a treatment or surgery and what not even without any type of insurance there, and it would cost a fraction of what you would pay here.

  615. Great video, Alex. The internet stereotypes self-improvement with the grind-set mentality i.e. doing heavy body building training, having online side hustles generating cash-flow semi-passively, etc, and expects this to happen overnight. However, it's usually the small steps that matter with accordance to the Compound Effect, as that is moderation. Moderation is key for self-improvement.

  628. We are taught to go to school, earn our degree and enter the work force--at a young age might I add. A majority of people don't dare to diverge from this path so following it is the only logical answer. I don't want to generalize but a lot of my friends have trouble answering if THIS PATH is what they truly want. They just view their accolades (earning their degree, getting an internship, landing a full-time 9-5 job) as boxes they check off they list. And personally, I don't think they are satisfied or fulfilled with where they are at. They are just chasing the next check point to satisfy their egos. We all do that. Some of us for better, and others, for worse.
    6
  629. I'm single at 25, like many of my high school and college friends, I had to move out of my birth country in search of a better life, and my life and that of my friends is exactly what you describe: work, bills, being lonely (maybe with a pet), looking forward to the end of the day to grant oneself a treat. The loneliness problem at least for me is compounded by the fact that all my college friends are in different countries all around the world, so our chances to meet up again in the near future are pretty slim. I am, however, happy, I am thankful for what I have and the life I am leading. I am not actively looking to be in a relationship, but I would be cool to being in one if the right person show up in my life. This is something that should be talked about more, thanks for sharing.

  637. I always wonder. Is all this work to get women worth it? They don't offer anything worthwhile. A lot of gen Z women don't even want kids or would be bad mothers anyways if they actually do. Aside from working out and how great that makes you feel as that is worth the effort on its' own.

  638. I don't think 5'6 is short at all, peharps in some europeans countries. I'm 5'7 ~ 5'8 and I'm pretty average on my country. I think in the near future we'll be able to change our body with a lot more freedom (including height) so... don't think you have to be "short" for the rest of your life, we already have some stretches and surgeries that allow some growth.

  653. I was in a similar situation as you, miserable during college studying something I did not enjoy just to prove that I am somewhat competent enough. At many stages during my college years I had the thought of switching the major because I never enjoyed it. Constant all-nighters, stress, problems with professors, and lack of drive to pursue deeper in the field drove me into abandoning my studies at the very last semester. I decided to make a change and study what I enjoy for my Masters and I did somehow got into an Ivy to finally study what I enjoy. Everyday now I am constantly engaged in the topics that I learn in school, and even willingly put extra free time to study the subject because I am truly passionate about it. Although I still lack many of the fundamentals comparing to my piers, I can still see a very optimistic future where I stand on equal footing as them because I truly love what I study. Everyday feels lively and bright even when I faced challenges. I hope to continue pursuing my dream and realize my full potential. Going for Masters studying what I enjoy is the best decision of my life. Thank you for sharing your story.

  659. I would like to thank you for the video. My story is similar - I chose Chemistry degree because I wanted to prove others that I am smart due to constant pressure from my family. I had no love for the subject. To pass the exams I had a lot of sleepless nights, I crashed like you. I even don't know if it is worth continuing my degree. When people talk about their experiences and feelings it makes others who go through similar things less lonely. Good luck in your future.

  661. finally, someone is actually factual when they say "ngl I'm kinda autistic cause..." because bro actually said a real autism trait (liking organized lists of things) and holy crap it makes me happy cuz I'm like 100% sure I'm on the spectrum (I have many traits but autism testing takes so long to get when you're not a hyperactive 4 year old boy) and every time someone says something like that it's always something stereotypical and offensive so I think Alex is a sigma

  665. I also did a major in physics and even a grad school. I fully agree with your experience of mental health affecting physical health. For me, I thought I simply had severe seasonal allergies that never went away. I had constant runny nose, random pains here and there, itchy eyes, migraines, etc. At one point, I couldn't even properly open my eyes in the morning because of all the gunk that accumulated around my eyes while I was asleep. Eventually, this autoimmune problem became so severe that I couldn't even go outside. After I quit my dream of becoming a physicist, although I am still struggling to find meaning in life, a lot of my autoimmune problems have subsided significantly. It took me a few years to feel like I got my health back, so my recovery wasn't as instant as yours. This goes out to say the ability to calm yourself in high stress environment is key. Perhaps, if I took some time to actively calm my nerve down during my academic life, maybe things could've been different. However, this is easier said than done. Being able to activate parasympathetic nervous system after experiencing highly stressful event is something (I believe) you learn as a toddler. If you lack these types of mental training then as an adult this becomes much harder to do so. These days, I very much enjoy going out in the nature as well. Going backcountry camping out in the woods really helps to build a stronger neural circuit in my brain that can help soothe myself.

  666. so relatable why desperately try to fit in a society that rejected you

  667. Ā @official_aweiĀ  a little better than me, but still only Indian and East Asian girls showed interest, broke up quickly in middle school. Hope he has a better life than me when he becomes an adult. Life is extremely tough for East Asian men in North America. Average height for eastern Asian in the US is only 5ā€™6ā€, but the white dudes have an average 5ā€™10ā€. It is tough to compete with them. Good grades are needed, but it is not the only thing kids should pay attention to. I told my son your lessons taught here. Hope he can be successful!

  668. Idk I feel like it depends let's say u missed a day out with friends to study for a test On one hand u cld do poorly in the test on the other u cld miss out on a social experience Ig it depends on how well u can balance all Ur responsibilities so u can do everything u want to do and need to do

  675. Honestly, Iā€™m thinking about going back to school for a physics degree and getting a PhD for some of the reasons you mentioned: I love the topic, learning about the universe and the mystery it brims with, and using that knowledge to help advance the world. (Iā€™m sure the algorithm read my mind.) I was wondering if you had any advice on this? It seems like your exit doesnā€™t seem to be with the discipline itself but rather the high pressure you experienced growing up that made you want to quit academics, so I was wondering if you still think the path itself is something that can be worth it?
    5
  676. I always made my hobbies my source of income. And also my jobs changed a lot over the years. It's a fun way of living. I can't stand being more than 10 years in the same kind of job. I enjoy the new lessons and experiences.
    5
  677. Something I would add is, we spend our money on BS daily, pizza, Netflix, an Uber when it would have taken 5 mins to walk. Or we just save that money, and never spending it on anything. Sure save 80% but spend your money on that course, or instrument or that person you like. These experiences are what money is made for. So stop being stingy guys. ( save money too though) kk. Great vid bro

  686. You have no idea know how much this will help me. I have been comparing myself to other people for being smart and was wondering if I was really dumb. As an Asian, my family and society have put pressure on me to act a certain way. I have been going to college for almost a year and a half and I have forgotten that I can do other things. I would spend hours on assignments and ignore friends. This perspective is truly what I needed, thank you.
    5
  687. what freelance work do you do?
    5
  688. Hey, as a fellow young guy, thanks for your perspective. Even though I've never met you, you seem like a humble and pleasant person. I wish you the best with your goals. If you're ever in Colorado, hit me up!
    5
  689. Iā€™ve felt a lot of the things youā€™re saying. But why do you feel as though if you use your degree you will be stuck on a hamster wheel for 40 years? You seem like a very intelligent person with a prestigious degree and with smart investing and planning you could achieve financial freedom early in your 30s. Then be free to pursue your passions full heartedly. Depending on where you get employed you can still enjoy outdoor hobbies outside of your job as well. Iā€™m 30 working as a head software engineer and Iā€™m an avid biker and hiker. My coworkers buy expensive cars and pay massive rents but Iā€™m set up where Iā€™ll be out of the office for good on my 32nd birthday. Believe me the temptation to ā€œKeep up with the Jonesesā€ is strong but youā€™ll definitely never leave if thatā€™s what you do. Not to say what youā€™re doing is wrong, just letting you know the typical ā€œwork until 65 then retireā€ isnā€™t your only option. Also, personal anecdote - I struggled greatly with motivation to excel at my job before I met girlfriend of 8 years. Us men are hardwired to be providers. On my own I would be content to sleep on the floor with nothing but a TV and a fridge. Find someone that makes you happy and the universe will make a lot more sense. And donā€™t be afraid to strike out a lot, youā€™ll thank yourself later. You echoed back my early 20s thoughts almost exactly. I was jaded, thought I was working for nothing, depressed. But then I found the beauty in the outdoors much like you, started living for the weekends and my PTO. Met my girlfriend, enjoyed long hikes and camping with her. Life brightened to the point where I even started enjoying work again. My point is donā€™t neglect the possibilities your hard work has afforded you. And donā€™t feel as though that path makes your goals of enjoying the outdoors impossible. Make an informed decision.

  698. I think I really like the mindset you have of just trying to enjoy nature rather than compare yourself to others. I think what I also like about your philosophy is you don't consider yourself better or worse than others because of your decisions. Many people I know, when they make non-standard decisions, they make it sound like they're better than the rat race. I feel like you have a whole lot less ego than those influencers..

  700. I've been watching your videos and I'll just say this. Take this time off from school/academics/etc for a year or so. Learn about yourself, learn who you are and what you want. But, as someone in their late 20s, I'll tell you, your goals are going to change as the years go by. I felt the same way, afraid to work in a place 5 days a week and it taking a toll on my body. I did that for 2 years when I was 22 and I hated it. This is before I went to college. But my solution was to go to school and get a job where I could work REMOTE. And I chose cybersecurity. I'm not into tech AT ALL, literally the only reason I chose this field is because it pays well and I can work remote. I have had 2 remote jobs at this point, and they were both wonderful. When you work remote, you are still on a schedule, but it doesn't feel as grueling because you are literally at home in your pajamas, working from your bed if you want to. Don't have to see any coworkers (except on video calls) and definitely don't have to work with the public. My solution for you is to try to leverage that degree and get you A REMOTE JOB. The last job I had, I took a 10 day trip to MIami while working, so I was making money while enjoying myself at the same time. Some people say , oh you will only think about work while you are on vacation, nope, not me. I just chose an early shift the days I was there, so I was finished by 3pm. Worked my shift on beautiful miami mornings sitting outside in nature. If you work remote, you won't feel tied down to one area, you can move when you want and get up and go when you want. My advice to you, is that as you go through your 20s and your goals change, you're gonna want some money in your pocket. Even if you do start a business one day, you need money TO START that business. Leverage that degree, my friend, for all its worth. And atleast get a remote job that you can make some money with in order to start your business.

  709. Hey Alex, I am really sorry for you. I am a sophmore in high school right now, and as someone who is planning to major in CS in college, this is just sad. All AI just does is compile human creativity and mash it all together into a product. It's not actually intelligent, it just performs really advanced functions that make it look intellegent. I just hope that you will find another job you love that has not been killed by AI yet. Sincerely, RunningMouse7, a random sophomore in high school.

  710. Thank you for this presentation. I watched the MIT Neurosurgeon's video. Your video hit hard. I retired and became addicted to my computer, a gamer. I would sit at my computer and game all day. I stopped playing tennis, golf and going to the gym. My feet began to swell, my knee, hip and back began to have issues. Gaming was my fix. I started taking OTC pain relievers to no avail. My wife got tired of looking at landscaping around the house growing up. I started working in the yard and things got better every day. Almost like magic. This video, your video, has inspired me to start going back to the gym, back to the tennis courts and back to the golf course. Everything you said is proven to be the holy grail. Our society is sick. We need to go back to the sun, exercise, nature and piece of mind. You have presented priceless advice which could benefit everyone. I know what you say is true. I am living it.

  713. I think that gurus like Hamza definetly helped a lot, and I'll explain why. At first when you start to take back control of your life, following advice blindly can make you do at least something, and that makes you think a lot. And then you realise that it's not the cold showers and going to the gym is what makes you a man. It's something deeper, more spiritual that comes with endeavor of the unknown. You explore the world and yourself, and then you separate from "gurus" and continue the journey on your own, because you find your ground that you stand on firmly. You find peace within yourself, and now you don't need someone to guide you. Because you discover that you are the one and only who truly knows whats best for you no matter what exactly it is. Wish you all the best guys.

    5
  721. Yes! Iā€™ve been saying this for nearly two decades. For women, itā€™s a slight twist on the same phenomenon. Unattractive females tend to be perceived as desperate or crazy rather than outright creepy. Grand, romantic gestures seen in movies only work because the actors are conventionally attractive. The boombox scene in Say Anything or Notting Hillā€™s ā€œIā€™m just a girl speech: super creepy/crazy if John Cusak were short or Julia Roberts ugly. Like, stalker status, call the cops creepy if (obsessed) ugly people showed up at your house making declarations of love.

  735. I'm no doctor but I did suffer from a similar series of tendinopathies in my elbows and knees when I was 19. One thing that really helped me was incorporating slow eccentrics into my lifting routine. After spending months out of the gym, I started back training with high reps / low weight whilst really focusing on a slow eccentric (around 3 seconds). These have helped my elbows and knees immensely and I would say they are back to around 90-95% now. I am not sure if this will work for hamstrings but it might be worth trying some lightweight hamstring curls or RDLs with slow eccentrics?

It's not easy to reflect on your life and make a significant decision by yourself when you are confused and disappointed, especially since you were used to meeting expectations from your parents.

  758. The red pill in the beginning started genuine, people were really concerned about men issues. Later on, a wave of toxic men advocate pretenders started rising, attracted by easy riches and fame, exploiting the sexless men. I'll forever be grateful for some of the teachings that opened my eyes on certain aspects i wasn't fully aware on female nature and life itself, Modern dating, improving myself, Prioritizing my peace etc... but i would recommend to newcomers that they also have to sometimes make their own opinions on specific topics not just regurgitating all the same garbage repeated in those channels because you don't realize but your'e actually becoming a misogynist by doing so. The only channel i would recommend is "It's Complicated". Also touch some grass. Great video btw. You actually nailed it. You Won a Subscriber.

  760. Some people grow up believing that there self worth depends on praise from others; first parents, then teachers then university professors with college grades, then then the workplace boss. This ultimately leads to depression and exhaustion from endless competition with others and frustration on realizing you are merely a robot serving others. The better approach is to develop an understanding of what will be important in your life. You are now free and self motivated to what you feel is important. So, the student studies physics not to get the best grade or medal but because this is genuinely interesting.

  771. You are young, beautiful, and smart. Want something? Go for it, because you deserve it. Life is short. Do you feel nervous about where things are headed? Feeling lonely? It's completely natural. You're at the start of your adult journey. Who wouldn't feel a little anxious or lonely sometimes? Your 20s are meant to be about just going for it. You've done so well so far. And you will continue to do so. Since I'm not a native English speaker, I got some help from ChatGPT to make sure my message is conveyed properly. šŸ˜Š

  773. Hardest part is definitely starting out. I used to rely off of random moments of inspiration to start changing myself, but once you learn discipline, it makes everything more structured. Knowing how to start is usually un-motivating as well because it is so overwhelming learning everything there is to make yourself better. I wish I learned this at a younger age as well because I have missed so, so many opportunities.

  779. Similar experience to mine. I was called a "gifted child" by my teachers since a young age, so my parents always had high hopes for me. Imagine their disappointment when I dropped out of college at 19 years old in my first semester. I was completely lost as a young man, and had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. Ten years later, as a 29 year old I enrolled into College again. And I think it's the best decision I could have taken for my future. Now as a mature person, I developed discipline and focus. And most importantly, I found my calling in Computer Science. Some of us really are meant for academia, but we don't know what we want. Or are not mature enough to even have that kind of professional desire.

  789. I graduated with a BS in Physics in 2011. I spent about 6 months job hunting with no luck, but ended up getting a job at a medical ultrasound startup thanks to a connection through my uncle. I've now been working in medical ultrasound for over a decade, not at the same company though. The irony is that right after I accepted that job, some of the other companies I applied to started to respond, shitty timing on their part. I understand that I got lucky through my connections. I would encourage anybody in a rough situation ro leverage their famlly connections as well. Yes that's nepotism and it's shitty, but it's the world we live. In my defense, I had to work 14 hour days in a lab for my first job after college, so it's not like I was a lazy POS. But I acknowledge that working 14 hour days is far preferable to being unemployed and struggling just to get an interview. If I had to do it all over again I think I would have double majored in EE and physics, or maybe majored in EE with a physics minor. This is not an easy problem to solve. If I were in this situation again with a physics degree and no job prospects, I would probably be looking into trade school to become an electrician or something like that. Or learning how to code. Good luck.

  790. I got a full ride scholarship and was accepted to a few of the top universities in my state. Went off the college and it was never my passion, I had already been miserable for years in high school from that high achiever lifestyle. When going into the 2nd year I had major panic attacks and questioned a lot of what I was doing, ultimately dropped out . In that next year I moved out and started my life with my husband at 20 years old. It wasnā€™t always an easy road and at many times I questioned myself and felt I failed or wasted some huge thing I earned. Now after years of being lost Iā€™m finally in a place in life where Iā€™m very fulfilled, living where I want, living a beautiful life, and Iā€™m so grateful I made that hard choice and lived life the way I did. Itā€™s hard to break out of that pressure to be an overachiever.

  791. Comfort and risk aversion/safety are big reasons why people aim for and stop at a 9-5. We are creatures of habit and a standard job is an environment suited to that. And often the biggest downside is... you're fired, but that's not as bad as potential downsides of your own business. Possibly losing everything is scarier than getting fired.

  799. I'm asian. My mother was always bragging, nagging, compare me to others who are better than me in my class. I was annoyed, I didn't had good grades throughout my life yet. But in the present, I feel like when they said " You will be successful by studying hard " seems like a attempt to push me, But little did they know. I was a heavy rock, unmovable, unpushable. yes, I do have a live and I do what i mostly like to and have good social skills but the way how she tries to brainwash me into thinking " Studying is success " seems unreliable. She believes that she is great just because she got straight As throughout her life, She might be academically smart but not in real life action. She had been scammed for a whole bunch of money, She was so naive and stupid, both my father and me were pissed off at her for believing such thing. Sometimes.. " Parents aren't always right about you, you could be more than meets the eye or not. " She pushed me to every english exams, thinking I was good, AND yes, I was good at English. Was always the top in english in both elementary and High. I believe that doing what you think that can make you WHO you really are is the REAL you in your life.

  819. alright so if you are teen and you want a good jawline , here is what I did which made me get a jawline and you can use it as alt of mewing 1) try to eat from one side - when I was like 10 or 11 , I use to put all chicken pieces in one side like in my back teeth (molars you say?) well it would take me time to chew them all, but I managed well you dont have to put all chicken pieces on one side of your mouth but instead "start to eat hard and chewy things (chicken,mutton etc) and then after you can easily chew and eat them then implement this point" 2) chew chew-gum for fun - I used to chew bubblegum for fun and at that time I didn't know to how to blow a bubblegum so I would spend hours chewing bubblegum (tho I use to rarely chew bubblegum) 3)lose weight - I started playing football , tho I am not good but after playing for 2years , I ended up losing weight and gain calves 4)be nose breather - video explains it so the benefits :(1) and (2) is to have good strength in your teeth , you will realize that your jaw is not looking strong but is now actually strong (3) and (4) will shape your jawline into looking more sharp I did have a little genetics but I was overweight before puberty , so if I hadn't done these , i wouldn't unlocked the genes

  835. 1) 0:34 - Working out to stay sane. 2) 2:10 - 2:13 - Sitting for a long time requires breaks. 3) 3:05 - Looking out at the city lights/ night sky to mediate, relax, and think about life after a long day of hardwork. 4). 3:21 - Make a video about real life instead of flexing a materialistic lifestyle that's unrealistic to the average person, either to gain clout or sell false hope. Those are some of the key standouts for me in the video which I can closely relate to. Although in point 4, I suspect these influencers may want to flex the materialistic lifestyle to get us to think bigger / dream bigger and motivate us, but most of the time, it's superficial. Really appreciate for mentioning the stream shoutout at the end ;).

  836. i have piano and it didn't really break me but i never liked to do it so yea for me its fine

  837. Sometimes you need a break to sort yourself out. After graduating high school, it took me 5 years to figure out that i wanted to actually continue my education instead of just working. Those 5 years that i spent working, prepared me to actually go to school i think, because i wouldve flunked out if i went straight from high school. Not everyone has the traditional path you see on social media, and chances are, those people's live are messed up too, you just can't see it.
    4
  838. Be brutally honest to yourself and think about why you are the way you are, and why you do the things you do. Get to the core of you. And once you understand yourself, you can change your negative traits and strengthen your positive traits.

  839. Iā€™m Vietnamese and this is pretty accurate unfortunately
    4
  840. This is a genuinely valuable video. Thank you for sharing it as many need to hear it. However, I have to quibble about your word choice. What you experienced was "burning out". "Crashing out" is a different category. Perhaps if you had unalived yourself, it would have fit. You're watering down a term that's better left reserved for different populations. You've got a good head on your shoulders. You don't seem like the type to crash out.

  842. She roasts you in the classical mechanic course. Oh, the contradiction vibe she gives off. The Upper division course in physics is an impressive achievement by outside physics community. You are not alone in this roast scenario. It was my English professor who roasted me for my skills but at the same time, she gave off the vibe of tirade and ranty. I want to say good job in physics and it a sign you have tenacity. Good luck in 2025 year goal. I will be getting an accounting degree and graduate in 2027.

  869. damn manā€¦ I am also a physics major. The only way I could get into the corporate world was through sales. I tried literally every other job and got rejected. I started working at the first company that accepted me (door to door sales) and moved into sales in a big HR service company. Using a referral from a uni friend I also managed to get a job at big4 which Iā€™ve been for 3 years. I want to move back into tech sales or presales/solutions consulting type stuff for the client interaction

  873. Good thing i now am 6ft. I'm not lying since I've measured myself on a measuring machine thing on the gym and on the walls at home which either with the machine saying 183cm or that i was 6ft on the wall. Anyways, i think it's overrated, like bro I'm not kidding. I still feel sometimes small when looking at other guys at university who seem to play basketball all day lol. They're either 6'2 or 6'4 or above, but it's just a few. And the fact that even if you are tall, it doesn't change the fact that by the end of the day if you look mid or ugly and stuff you still won't get girls (trust me I'm literally an example). But yeah, girls expectations in height at least on the west are too damn high.

  878. I'm in my first year of uni and i was born with physical disabilities that have always made me be seen as different. As a result ive always just felt like a skinny, short brown disabled kid and i dont know how much i can really improve about myself. Ive started going to the gym but i know that no one really wants to date a dsiabled ugly brown kid so ive just tried to focus my energy on gym and accepting that at least right now women shouldn't be a priority

I actually started with training judo as my first martial art as well but I was too skinny and lanky which made it really difficult. I switched to boxing. I just retired in July 23 as a pro with a record of 8-9 (combined pro and amateur record) and now own my own gym. Good luck in your journey bro x

One more thing height can be incresed by doing hanging exercises for atleast a year.I have seen anectodes of people growing 10 cm in a year.Also eating dwarf variety rice has literally stuntend us in muscle and height and made men weak in south asia and east asia.If you see carefully in last century the countries that consumed dwarf varities of tice have become dwarfs from india,china,japan.So men have become very feminine in this places.We have to switch to millet based diet or carnivore diet

  898. I can relate so hard to your story and Iā€™m so grateful for your message because it came at a great time. Not asian, but my parents were also very hard on me for my grades as a kid. They are still hard on me occasionally but have loosened up since they see my mental health getting bad. I am currently going for a Physics minor, although not for long. I keep getting sick this semester and burning out hard. Same kind of mental health issues. Between doing Mathematical Physics, Modern Physics and Biochemistry at the same time this semester, I havenā€™t been doing very well. I get so stressed that my body gives out on me, for example falling asleep while drinking an energy drink. Iā€™ll be excited to burn my grad school level textbook at the end of the semester (since it has every piece of information you could possibly want but no instructions on how to get the information into your head).

  899. Tell us what your parents think about your decision. Are you on good terms with them after you quit the career in physics?

  943. Also another suggestion: why not contact some of your high school classmates? Some of your high school classmates may still be single. It is better to date someone you already know in real life. Women on dating app only have two types. One type is low quality and you wonā€™t like them. Another type is ok 5-7, but they are talking to so many guys and very picky. Girls 8-10 wonā€™t bother using dating app. Contacting your high school classmates may have a better chance. Not sure how many female classmates you had in physics major, but I would imagine very few. Life is hard!!! I can feel you because I experienced the same thing in my 20s. The rejection destroys your soul. For us short men, unless we can make a shit load of money, it is so hard to get a woman. Life is not easy!

  944. Hello alex , thank you so much for being so open and honest about your experience , it really got to me and made me think wether Im really into mathematics or Im trying to keep up with the psychological model created by my ego to keep my hurted persona in the illusion of being what is socially and personally described to me as right and succescful. We as human beings creat those ego models or ourself because thats the operators which keeps us connected and moving as a person in a society and family , we oftenly dont really know ourselves and we tend to pick whats ''feels'' right , but its sometimes turnes out as a big fraud . What scares me the most is getting to a point in life of realizing i wasted my years on something thatwas indoctrinated to and left my inner child , uncounciously , completly devastated and shutted and turning into a function of society input , ending up losing the personal spark in life .

  946. I have switched my College Major a few times, but I wasn't getting enough value for the gifts that I do have because it just seems like a shame no matter what you do. The Most Creative people are considered to be the most Hardworking, yet we are undershadowed by the pay of business Majors. Art History is literally a form of Environmental Science as the Lord wants us to Protect our earth he also wants to make crafts with the earth. The two sins we have fallen into is a Lust for Greed. Yet we want to do the things we love with not much to be shameful later in life!

Regardless of the regrets you might have about your childhood and adolescence, and late teens in terms of so much academic focus, you possess in your brain a tremendous repository of mathematical and rigorous scientific problem-solving skills. Although you technically might not be a genius, you have a background that sets you up for basically any future you want.

  964. the thing is physics IS hard. and unfortunately college makes it a competitive sport. You miss one important concept and you'd be left behind in the dust. I did well at first, but "crashed out" as well. ...but physics is interesting and not all teachers are created equally. In my travels I found community college professors to be often of a better calibre than from the big classroom, nameless big universities. The US is too expensive too, especially now.

  977. Oh my, it seems a red flag lot of what people preaching in theory by parents vs reality in real world. I hope you get to make up for lost time and donā€™t feel alone. That is top tier school and it suppose to give them connection for employment in theory. In practice it is what type of degree and work field. Physic is impressive but master requirements for employment in school world or bachelor in job world. I hope your future will go well and content creator too. I am excited to see more youtube videos.

  993. Sorry you lost your job, man. You were being very diplomatic about it, but frankly speaking I think you absolutely should be angry at the company. They care more about pinching pennies than they do about the livelihoods of real people.

  995. I thought about going into tech when I was in school because I liked working with it... I'm really glad I didn't with AI coming in more so. I'm in nursing right now, and even that has been a struggle. Finding a job and keeping a job as a nurse is harder than what people will tell you.
    3
  996. I have a similar story to you and most of these commenters. Iā€™m glad to watch a nuanced and balanced perspective on this stuff, because I mean, people have to flock to an opinion; Kinda like how some people couldnā€™t walk alone in middle/high school. Your take on self emphasis has a lot of truth to it too. Hope to see this movement in particular grow.

  997. yes i finally found someone who understands
    3
  998. Hey man. I'm glad I saw your videos albeit a bit late. I'm around the same age as you, am also Chinese, and just graduated with a Math degree from a pretty intensive program. My parents weren't as strict as yours but I still felt all the same pressures as you. The need to succeed and the lack of proper passion/motivation to pull through. Covid certainly didn't help things either. I struggle with adhd and I'm not sure if you do either but that was what really screwed over my grades. I couldn't get things as easily as other people did, so I had to spend far more time understanding what should've been trivial. I grinded to the point that I couldn't make any friends at all at college. The grind didn't even pay off as it felt like my brain didn't fundamentally have what it takes. What followed was a depressive spiral, falling behind classes, and a sense of shame so heavy I stopped attending classes altogether. I really struggled to ask for help because all the other people around me seemed to handle everything so easily. Just wanted to say I appreciate ya for sharing your experience. Hopefully all of us non-geniuses can still find some value in our lives that isn't purely academic.

  1005. Have you everdone the MBTI/16 personalities-Test? You are giving me big ISFP Vibes. And yeah, I'm a student of Chemistry in Germany and even though I love science and all the stuff, I won't be destroying my life just to get a slightly better job. I'm studying as good as I can, but not beyond my natural limits
    3
  1006. I would say C. It depends on what their priorities are or the long term. Some can be successful without a bachelor's degree and can go to community college or trade apprenticeship or job. There is a difference of being authentic vs lazy. It seems like your parent either have vicarious ambition, overworried of your future employment or different reasons. Meanwhile, I have some acquaintances in online who did polar opposite but few are have to deal switching jobs due to layouts or unemployed because of skill less. I think you can try a different goals in career or use your advantage if interest for any stem degree. I think you are way ahead in college world but you taking responsibility to become athlete. I know some in those age range rather waste in vices like porn or drugs.

  1007. Ā @official_aweiĀ  Thanks bro, and best of luck to you. Everyday I sit in the engineering office and stare blidnly at the screen, I think of that other video you made about working at McDonalds. At least I would be able to move around, my brain would be active, I would be healthier. The pay isn't that much different either. I did one year of pure mathematics, then did one year of english, then finally settled on civil engineering. 7 years later (6 + COVID fuckery), and I have nothing to show for it. Much love bro, hopefully we can all escape from this madness.

  1011. why are ai generated summaries only on the places where it doesn't belong

  1012. Glad I found this video. Engineering freshman right now and Iā€™m also depressed as hell. Came here ambitious but now feel overwhelmed on how Iā€™m gonna finish this and apply for a good grad school or even a job if my GPA is already ass in one of the easier semesters of this degree. Iā€™ve never felt like this bad of a loser my entire life, but unlike you I donā€™t even do anything about it like studying hard to overcome this. Instead, everytime a ay before an exam, Iā€™m in my room ti study, but I feel so fucking depressed and paralyzed as if Iā€™ve already failed. Idk why, because I know that if I study throughout this entire time I can get a decent grade, but for whatever multitude of reasons thats not what I do, and its messed up. Iā€™m hoping for a miracle at this point that things get better, cuz its not even that I hate engineering or have some other real passions, I do want this degree but there are so many stresses in my life as a busy university student and I feel so misunderstood and unspported (I literally use ChatGPT for therapy) like you talk about, except that my parents are not as harsh and I may even transfer to a different university and start freshman year again, but thats a situation Iā€™m not really that certain about and I donā€™t know what I can do from here. thought university would be a time of transformation and a fresh start from the hell Iā€™ve been through in highschool, but its kind of like a fancier but even harsher repeat. My mental and physical health as also only gotten worse since I started this and I donā€™t know the way forward. Only time will tell I guess Its a difficult thing to go through all that, discover your self worth and reverse these conditionings that you had to go through your entire life from your parents and society. Thats super brave and Iā€™m very proud of you for that. Hope you find peace
    3
  1013. Could you tell us about your parents? I am wondering why they or one of them assumed that you can handle this? Are they really talented successful people or did they just want you to be such guy while they could not reach that level themselves?

  1036. You make good points like how women want the best of everything a man is, a mishmash of all these like 6 feet, 6 pack abs, six figures (Frankenstein of A Man). Pick something youā€™re good at and fulfill that to the highest degree. Jack of all trades, master of none. Focus on yourself Kings and donā€™t focus on what women want.

  1051. I dont think that doing things yourself is the way either. You do really need help in this world and you can get it. Cold approach mentors or people you wanna learn from instead of them approaching you. I used to think that getting help was impossible cause people arent so nice, but when you look at it from their perspective it makes sense. People that have accomplished alot in life are probably bored or out of purpose and you are giving them the only thing they cant buy. Bringing someone up is pure joy and everyone should consider doing cold approaches. Thats kinda my solution for this clown fiesta "get help" stuff

  1052. Good for you growing brother - I glad you grew into yourself. We're all proud of you and looking forward to your channel growing.

  1053. Talking from someone who was not able to start a carrear with my degree post university, I do think once you graduated from highschool and college, life becomes out right more lonely. I have only a few people I still talk to after school, like you said its funny that the technology, and web should be allow us to "connect more" but instead there's just a giant disconnect.

  1055. There needs to be a middle ground. You can't enforce companies to not use A.I to generate content, but there should be policies in place to enforce companies to be transparent with their use of A.I. For example if an article is written by A.I it should absolutely have a disclaimer to indicate that the content was completely A.I generated, or 80% A.I generated, etc.

  1058. This dystopia, I think, will not last. At least, not in a world where data centers threat the energy sustainability. AI is not free, it consumes massive amounts of electricity. We live in a planet of finite resources, so my best guess it may take decades but I think AI use will become a limited and more strategic asset.

  1059. best of luck to you man and Godspeed if you believe in higher power, sometimes i regret pursuing academia because deep inside i knew something was off with their system, i only went because of peer pressure from every older chinese gen and to my horror... i was forced to live with my parents if i dont go to college if my story is the prodigal son then my parent's home is the destitute pigshed.

I think you should livestream your travel content on this channel and upload the edited content from them as shorts onto this channel as well rather than a separate channel. 1.

Like no funny shit it shapes you mentally and physically in a way academia never will. It's truly saddening how many immigrant parents have drank the kool-aid.

You might go to a hiking club and become friends with a guy, and then he invites you to a party and you meet someone there. So definitely increase your general socialization and good things will happen.

  1120. Excellent video. This really resonates with me. As a person who went through nursing school with then-undiagnosed autism, I had a tough time and almost failed due to some instructors interpreting some mannerisms characteristic of autism, as nervousness and lack of skill. In the midst of this, my mentor told me: ā€œThe education system is an insane system, and if an insane system says youā€™re insane, doesnā€™t that mean youā€™re sane?ā€ I went off the beaten path and chose a different career that is related to nursing in that it requires care and compassion, but without the noises and stimulation of a traditional hospital environment. I know I already commented, but this video is a gold mine of profound wisdom. Thank you, sir.

I found this Video to be incredibly Insightful into how AI Copypasta spam can effect more than just yourself, you looked into the effects of it on a deeper level and spoke of others who would be effected other than yourself , so Please dont put yourself down saying your not insightful this was quite insightful.

  1142. Thanks for posting this. I am taking Engineering Physics 1 right now as a Senior (high school) at a community college along with the lab, Calculus 1, Spanish IV, Aerobic Conditioning (PE Credit), and 2 choirs. I bombed my last Physics test along with getting an 82 on the last Calc exam, and I have a similar thing where I feel overall lethargic almost all the time, or even nauseous sometimes. I am trying to find my way and what I wanna do, but I have barely enough time to breathe. Super relatable video man, this helped :)

  1152. If authentic human youtube videos are competing against these AI videos, then the algorithms should push the human videos to the top. If an AI is able to replicate a 99.9% similar human authenticity video, then that's really scary ( cry face ). I hope this doesn't happen. The AI youtube videos should be more about technical work ( i.e. educational content, maybe finance), and less of human stories.

  1153. Getting compared to others by your own parents sucks. I was lucky that my parents never pressured me while I was growing up in Eastern Europe. In high school I was going to local math and physics Olympiads, but never had to spend more time studying than was necessary to do the school homework. The rest of the time I read whatever I wanted and played chess or video games or football with my buddies. My parents were not greedy either, even though we did not have much money and when I was in college I rarely went back home and stayed at the university during all vacations, including the summer, to work and pay my own expenses. After I went to the US and got a job at Goldman Sachs at some point I started questioning being in the rat race and quit GS after several years there and have not missed it. Some of my colleagues are still there and are millionaires by now, others moved to other investment banks and became millionaires there. I prefer doing things on my own terms and having the time for diverse interests and a better understanding of the world.

  1154. Part way through the video and have to say I have mad respect. Itā€™s good to see a small(ish) channel just spitting facts like this.
    3
  1155. One thing Iā€™d like to add that a lot of people donā€™t get I feel is that good things require you to keep trying and pushing through. Yes you can see the little things as good and thatā€™s a great way to live, but another great way to live is to do the difficult things and feel proud of yourself.

  1181. The fact that you figured this out way before a lot of us shows how brilliant you are. Same thing happened to me only I pushed through medical school. Didn't match my dream specialty and had to settle for another path in medicine that I had no interest in. Now I'm beyond burnt out and all my self worth was tied to achieving my academic goals in medicine. Then you really get stuck in a very bad place. Kudos to you. I'm glad that you are better.

  1183. I'm 23 and recently graduated from university, currently working my first full-time job while undertaking an intern training program at the same time and preparing for my board exams to become a registered pharmacist. To be honest, I'm really enjoying the 9-5 grind with a bit of schooling mixed in. I have a lot of friends I see every week, holidays planned, am saving up to move out, and I do social sport and dinners with some pharmacy friends every month. I have met up with friends across the ocean and am planning to see them again in the future, too. Ireland, Japan, America - all on my future destinations list. So I guess no, I'm not lonely. I really like this stage of my life, though the workload can be punishing at times. The world is changing right now, not necessarily for the better, but I have friends, hobbies, a blooming career, plans for the future, and that's all I can ask for right now.

  1197. I only spent one year being incredibly unhealthy. I would just rot in bed listening to YouTube while gaming. My toes turned yellow šŸ˜…ā€¦ that probably isnā€™t good. Iā€™ve gotten a lot healthier since then, theyā€™re better now. I started going to the gym in July of 2023, I grew disciplined and stronger, I walk there now. Like five miles total. Less time on the phone. Shits good now šŸ‘ I love nature too, sadly the ever growing suburbia I live in doesnā€™t seem to. I remember my favorite forest getting demolished šŸ˜ž I plan on living in rural Virginia as soon as I get out of college. I will have the crows the mountains and my pet rat to keep me company. I need to figure out how Iā€™ll make money though.

  1198. Great video
    2
  1199. Close enough I went in for similar reasons as you, but instead my major is philosophy. Thereā€™s sort of a stereotype that a philosophy degree is useless, but think is not completely accurate, it all depends. I think it actually helped me. Donā€™t know different physics and philosophy majors are.
    2
  1200. Thanks for sharing your story. Keep your head up, despite how hard it was, you did pull through. Now you determine your own direction in life. As for careers, quite a few physics majors go into software engineering, so if you are interested you definitely have the math background. I dropped out of a history major to go into ministry and yet I do programming as my day job, so it's something to think about.

  1201. bro is actually crashing out lmao nah but great video tho

  1202. Thank you for sharing your insights on this topic. Your thoughts completely resonate with me.

  1210. I'm really critical of what I believe is a common model for Asian, East Indian and even African first or 2nd generation immigrants to the U.S. regarding career paths for the children. I'm not in that milieu, but the information we get from those in it seems to confirm that it is what we all think it is, the parents putting their children in academic incubators in order that their children maximize their earning potential above all other considerations. I think this is bad for everyone, not just those participating in it. What we end up getting is a bunch of miserable people making everyone else miserable as well. We get a pipeline from the Ivy League to Wall Street and other places in the financial industry. The passengers in this pipeline are not happy and the efforts to which they put their talents are obviously anti-social, benefitting a few super wealthy sliver of society at the expense of the rest of us. People should go into physics if, just by chance, they become intensely curious about how the physical world functions and they have some ability to mentally manipulate the abstractions specific to that field. The competitive aspect should not be expanded to overshadow everything else. They should not go into physics to win the approval of their parents which they will never get anyway. Sadly, there is no fixing this situation. America is a place where people are incentivized to follow their greed and those who do are rewarded. This is our modern misery.

As for jobs doing something no one else wants to do, it seems to work.

  1241. I really can relate with some of the things that you shared. When i was about to finish high school my parents divorced. I was seeing it coming but kept ignoring it. Before graduating from high school i wanted so much to study engineering. I really liked math and physics. I like how the apply in our every day life. During that time I was so lost, didnt have anyone to advice me about uni, i was influenced from a lot external factors and ended up choosing law school. Throughout that year was like switching identity and pretending to be someone that i never was. I wanted to prove to everyone that i was smart and that i know how to argue and talk. Combining it with work, didnt take me long enough to realise that i was wrong and my instinct really ''rang a bell''. Luckily right now im where i should be and things start falling into place

  1257. I think we need to be louder about how the Algorithmic Interface is being used and ignore the "media" that is develop by it and not even hate watch it. Of course the reason why these people are implementing Algorithmic Interfaces is to replace people in the work force so companies can stop paying workers in fields because the higher ups see people as replicable. We should instead divert attention to real authentic things. I've too been thinking of going outside to the library and look at books for gardening from real sources. It seems nice to make your own things and ignore the outside world. As an artist I ignore the hype of Algorithmic Interface and try to focus on my own work because no Algorithmic Interface can have the ideas that are in my head. Try as it will, it will always be missing, Purpose, Feelings, Heart, and Happy Accidents.

  1261. Being out in nature really do help with stress. I love hiking out in the mountains, exploring, hearing the birds chirps, seeing waterfalls and hearing the crashing waves of the fall, seeing wild flowers bloom, smelling the fresh scent of the pines, and being hit in the face with cool mountain breeze. The worst thing about this though, is knowing you have to return back to society right after.
    2
  1262. This comment is a while after the video came out so you probably wonā€™t see it but thank you so much, I needed this. Growing up I was somewhat conditioned the same way, it probably wasnā€™t as extreme as your experience but my parents always instilled the belief that school is the most important thing ever in me. I also ended up going to the same magnet school you went to (coincidence is fucking hilarious huh) and while my parents have taken the foot off the gas after Iā€™ve had several mental breakdowns, the self pressure is still there. Iā€™m currently a senior in high school and while Iā€™m set to go into medicine, Iā€™m not totally sure if itā€™s meant to be. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I hope Iā€™ll have the courage to explore more if I turns out medicine isnā€™t for me.

  1267. Studying so much, these high family expectations and lack of social interactions put a lot of stress on the person and their mentality. Being an asian, I truly understand how you feels. You have to put up with the ideology that your parents forced on you. You basically have to study and study just to meet your parent expectations. Always have to be compared to others.

  1268. the fact that you made it through a serious depression and finished your studies is a testament to how resilient you are bro. Pure math major here, lmk if you wanna talk

  1270. Becareful - money, status, power, and ego are the world's value and are a "trap" and it suffocates your passion and joy. Your spirit speaks to you through joy and energizes you to do certain things. Nurture and follow that inner voice. The world needs your problem solving talent.

  1287. you my friend have the best and flat out realistic wisdom right there, it as you just said. We are all trying to figure things out on our own in this big world, and while it always good to have someone in your life to keep inspiring you to keep moving. Once the pup has grown, it is time for the wolf to leave the cave (Metaphorically speaking). Once all of us young men has reach our betterness, then that all that should be respected and honestly admire. Like you also said, your not trying to be the next top g, or some rich guy in dubai that knows every secrets in the world. Your trying to reach "your own place" and "Your full growth". Hack even I got some secrets of my own in life that I pick up, that I will be more then happy to share with anyone. It might not be something that even Andrew state will be impress by, but hey. It "my knowledge" that I have, and at the end of the day what we learn, and where we end up, if we can all sit down and tell each of our story from then to now and say "Yes he reach a better place" then it a accomplishment that should be respected at the end. So everyone let stay strong and do our best to reach our betterness for the future, and once we all make it. We will sit down in a fire and share our adventures together.

  1290. Very typical high achiever story. I 'crashed out' aka dropped out 1st year of high school. I was having an existential crisis then but it was triggered by maturity and having new perspectives on life and how small/insignificant/hypocritical society seems to be. Anyway, long story short, doesn't matter when you eventually grow up, just follow your heart regardless of what anyone else says, especially those closest to you. A young high achiever is usually very tunnel vision which gives them a super power in concentration and exceptional learning abilities, but the world is big and the sooner one opens their perspective the better.

  1291. It so sad that instead of using AI as a helping tool, corporations just use it as a replacement for humans. AI can be helpful in terms of polishing up or fixing minor errors, but it isn't advanced enough to replace humans, and it should never be.

  1296. I'm a UI/UX designer, I got a freelance offer a while ago but right before I started, they suddenly asked for my rates again and I was like, why? We already agreed on the rate. After I said the amount, the client suddenly said the amount is over budget. After negotiating for a bit, they finally told me they tried generating the UI design on an AI site and they think it works as well. I am so done with this.

  1298. 9-5 people admire you because you refuse to be a corporate slave. Of course there will be those that scorn you too because they don't have the balls to do the same. I was in your position but I learned the hard way through multiple failed contracts due to just not "feeling it". I hate building up other people's company's, hate the entire 9-5 routine, hate the bs policies or basic mistakes they make but refuse to fix because some cock at the top is on a power trip and doesn't want to look dumb to the people beneath him if he folds and changes the things that make sense to change. Working for yourself should be championed for the blue collar sector as we're treated like expendable trash as is. Would rather be homeless and broke than work for someone else other than myself.

  1314. @ there was definitely some sort of cultural shift because before they taught the material, assigned homework, then quizzes and tests. Pop quiz if it was obvious the class was zoning out. But the instructors and teaching instructors that did labs were always available and seemed to genuinely want people to learn. Now it seems like a number crunching game to pass x number of students regardless of knowledge base. It genuinely makes me mad. Itā€™s made college practically worthless in the current job market.

  1324. I am a Physics PhD student now, but I frequently asked myself in undergrad why I was motivated to get the physics degree. Like many of us, I didn't know if it was more motivated by the hope of impressing others or because I actually liked the subject (or most likely a combo). When you start writing graduate school applications, you'll know. All the personal statements and statements of purpose really force you to think about these motivations and, if they don't feel authentic, it won't feel right.

  1351. I completely understand you. Most people didn't understand me when I chose physics as my major. Someone from the first year even asked if I was an idiot to choose physics according to my score. I love physics so much that I wanted to be a theoretical physicist. However, when I was about to graduate, I thought I couldn't do this any longer. This is due to the job prospects in Thailand. The people I know who were ambitious at the start of the first year decided to study in different fields, such as computer science. The good news is your analytical skills can be applied anywhere. As someone who used to be in the same situation as you, I recommend you find the problem in any field that you think is fun to solve and try to learn to be better at it. Your problem-solving skills from learning physics can be applied in any industry. And you are right about the people who could continue to study physics. You need to love it. You only care a little about the end result. You do it because it is fun. That is why many of my friends who didn't perform well in the first years thrived and continued to pursue graduate studies. It's really not about racing. It's about enjoying the journey, which most of us didn't understand then. And if you are not that type of person. Changing the direction is okay.

  1356. they are overloading all programs insanely. programs are being designed with unrealistic assessment of students' stamina. Undergraduate degree nly can introduce quantum mechanics. advanced topics need to wait for a masters. even then it becomes uncomfortably intense.

  1371. A lot of women on the dating app are meeting so many guys and they tend to be very picky or not high quality. A beautiful woman may already have a partner without using the app. I suggest find a partner in real life. Hitting women on street is not a viable way either. In modern days women are too demanding. The thing is in physics major or engineering major, there are way too more men than women. Imagine if you are a physician, you can easily find a beautiful nurse as your wife. There are way too many women in nursing. Even if you are teaching in high schools, you will have a better chance. Why not consider teaching physics in a high school? Make some money and may run into a good woman.

  1374. Ā @official_aweiĀ  By the way I was starting studing physics, but the Prof there was terrible, taught 3/4rd semester math stuff in semester one. I then switched to Math with physics minor, then Math with CS minor. I was about half through and got decent grades, when I decided to drop out and take another trajectory through life. It is a long story. And that was even I really liked what I was studying. You ploughing through to the degree even if you didn't like it is an extremely high achievement. The way of thinking and the discipline and self awareness you acquired there will serve you for life. If you find something to do you enjoy, you will surely be successful.

  1376. Yo dog idk if ur gonna see this but I go to BCA rn and im pretty sure u went there (or BT) to and im gonna say things have gotten even more competitive. Fr fr we had a crashout like a couple months ago that cut herself and than tried to stab some other kids with the ipad chargers, and than another one who threatened to pew pew the school bc he got a bad math grade test. I've been going here 3 years now and dog i lost count of how many times I went into the bathroom and saw some kid crying. it fr fr be a mad competitive world out here at bca, I wouldn't be surprised if that contributed to ur burnout and "crashout"

  1394. U got great courage to share your story. let me share mine At the kindergarden, i was not that much bright because i was in a private school that squeeze your blood.later my parent transfer me to a government school. Did to better environment my grades went up like it even makes me suprise till today(like a student that barely pass on exam to topping whole school with 95+%).Due to that people start having huge expectation with me, and i tried to maintain my position. this went on for next 4 yrs were i kept my position, but on one test , i got really sick due to TB(tuberclosis) because of thatmy grade drop down and i barely passed and i found that people were making fun of me even knowing my condition, and my parent started to become more paranoid due to that. After these incident i realize the fact , reading and pushing myself till i got sick was not worth for making people around me happy. then i started to make minimun effort on exams. i didnt do anything, this led my parent to beome physical to me so i ran from my home multiple times , stayed on my friend house. started demanding my parent(never told then where did my friend live) if they wont comply withmy demand they never seeing me. this made a huge shock on then and i gradually "trained" them not to make any unresonable demand with me. And now they never ask me to do anything without my complyi can sure say my parent werenot as paranoid as your but i think i was able to make them to reason with me that was a w for me. But i think parent should not have any unresonable demand to their children , they should know it is not their life , it is children , let them do what ever they want, help them when they stumble on any obstacle but never gate keep they by saying "We r thinking about your life and we want to see you happy on your future" because of this i really hate "future" as a term.

  1406. I can relate to this. Working in the corporate environment, especially in a concrete jungle what we call "downtown" urban cities, can make us feel unhappy. Company benefits and all these PTO sound like a scam in the long run to be honest, so saving up money from a 9-5 ( those who work in one) and investing in comfortable side hustle(s) is the way to go. Quit 9-5, then live near nature and happiness shall flow in ā˜ŗ

I enjoyed my community college experience from 2018-2020, but I got burnt really quickly and then the pandemic happened, and everything after that went to shit pretty fast. I ended up dropping out in 2022 and went to work despite having decent grades (Not in math) and a good GPA. Since 2022, I've been figuring out what I want to do with my life at 26 almost 27 this month while trying to pay bills and not end up homeless. I hope things work out for you Alex.

  1429. In my second year of dental school, my professor told me I was not good enough to become a dentist. It was humiliating and scary for me. But he was right, and in hindsight, it was the best thing that happened to me. I hated dentistry and I only went into the profession due to parental pressures and also because I did not get into medicine. So I quit dentistry and chose a different life path. I donā€™t regret it at all. People often say to me: ā€œbut look at the money you could have made as a dentist!ā€. Sadly people will never understand that for certain individuals, there are far more important things in life than money. Thanks for the great video. By the way, I studied physics and I loved it - in fact, cosmology and astrophysics are two of my favourite subjects (mainly thanks to Stephen Hawking). šŸ˜Š

Ive been taking good care of myself but its midterm season right now and ive developed insomnia, not a great thing lol, only because of my perfectionism of wanting to maintain 4.0 to go into grad school keeping me up at night. Not struggling with my courses but yea, i wonder how itll be for future years where they become exponentially harder. Trying to reflect to see why Im pursuing phys. am I cooked?

  1456. Hey bro, Iā€™m sorry with what you had to go through as a kid. Iā€™ve experienced similar, maybe not in how I was treated at school, but parental trauma, so I can relate to the role model thing. The thing is with having or role models is that they will let you down, but thereā€™s one who never will and thatā€™s Jesus. I donā€™t know your beliefs but i was a nonbeliever for 19 and a half years, until last July where Jesus saved me in a very spiritual way. Iā€™m not going to force you to do anything but I just wanted to let you know that God will always love you and will never turn his back on you. Jesus loves us so much that he suffered a brutal death and died to save all of us. If thereā€™s one piece of advice which I could give you thatā€™d change your life in a way that nothing else ever can, itā€™d be pick up a Bible, and if you donā€™t know where to start, read one of the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke or John). God bless you brotherā¤ļø [edit: also just to let you know Iā€™m also a big UFC fan as of covid era so I can understand why and how UFC pulled you in! And I also do judo :) LOVE IT]

  1457. If it's artificial I barely acknowledge it when it comes it comes to anything that requires that innate human input such as music, art and journalistic output to name a few areas where automation cannot trespass even if it gives the illusion it can infiltrate such territory. Not interested in anything creative being simulated by mechanical means, no matter how impressively authentic in appearance, it simply will not have that essential ineffable element that gives even the most mundane human produced thing meaning no matter how efficient, seemingly flawless, slick and effortlessly productive the results appear to be.

Just do an online cs masters degree and supplement the technical background in physics and enter into modeling and simulation sectors of Lockheed or Northrop Grumman or Boeing. They donā€™t pay 200k per year but you are guaranteed 110k to 130k per year with a masters degree

  1471. Good video. Entertaining, with a sword, and also I share basically your perspective. I think after covid, at least for me, it went to shitter. And I have a ton of female friends and experience with romantic relationships. Dating kinda feels like another job for men. You need to check your IG photos, do marketing, good copy and hashtags, optimalize targeting, .... Literally digital marketing job. Girls have it like shopping in a Walmartm, which I think also ghurts us both. Lastly, people should take more accountability. You have the authority to change at the end of the day, so stop crying. Goess for blackmailers, with who I sympathize and understamnd, and also girls crying how all men they met are terrible.

    2
  1477. yeah man, same I view a 9-5 as a backup because who really wants to do that man. I like the structure but the thing is like you said the freedom, you lose it when you get a 9-5. I've heard that a bad job or boring job can be good if the staff or coworkers are chill or cool to make it better and also if the manager is cool as well. I feel most people have the 9-5 as the main goal and that just feels like settling for less I gues in my mind as well first they should try to make money as a entrepreneur.

  1481. Quite a significant amount of couples met at work, and a fairly large minority met at places where they saw the same people every day such as bus stops, grocery shops, cafƩs and so on. Now it's a disciplinary if ask someone out at work and they don't find you attractive, and you can literally get barred from shops and whole shopping centres if you ask out a member of staff. Everyone is too fragile to say "no thanks". But at the same time, people aren't interested in other people like them. Just being a nice person doesnt cut it any more. You certainly can't ask out someone in your apartment block either. All of this, doesn't apply if you are very good-looking, although sometimes even very good-looking people struggle as well.

  1482. Ā @official_aweiĀ  amazing video man. I love that you arenā€™t berating or hating on him, but simply addressing the things he does wrong.

  1484. Parents may have good intentions but have no idea about the job market you face. Degrees are kind of useless unless it's at Starfleet Academy and the Admiral wants you to be the youngest Starship Captain so don't have to wait for your dream job. Glad you woke up early from the impractical, expensive fantasy scam. Glad you are going with nature. Hope you can get rich with your YouTube channel.

  1486. I like where your head is at Alex. The public school system has brainwashed our population over the course of many generations to give you tunnel vision, and to believe that is the only way. Look how many people are conned into going to college. A lot of young people take advice from their environment and do what everyone else is doing. With the large adoption of social media by the younger generation, we see people of all income levels showing their experience, displaying their struggles, or their achievements on all levels. There is more exposure to where your current lifestyle/environment are on this life-scale, and has given people the ability to make more measurable goals. People are now discovering they can make tens, if not hundreds of thousands with their own business. I also believe the current situation of people not being able to afford the luxuries of this country have compounded this large yearn for demanding more out of life. we see more and more videos popping up about how to make money, getting millions of views, and people taking those leaps to make their dreams a reality. but you must start somewhere. a 9-5 is not a bad thing, you'll need start up capital to do anything at all. You could jump right into something with lets say $10,000 to your name and no income, but you have a lot more on the line there rather than if you start something with 25k-50k to put towards said side hustle, while ensuring all of your bills are for certain going to get paid. you will have more success when you have less risk. risk losing it all and start from square one in scenario 1, or if you lose the 25-50k in scenario 2, you can pick yourself up, dust yourself off, save up some more money, and give it all a go again. I have seen both of these scenarios play out. my buddy did option 1, but has lost it all multiple times and his lifestyle is the exact same it was 6 years ago. I on the other hand, went to college, got an accounting degree, had a side hustle the entire time, worked the entire time, kept all if my side hustle revolving and reinvested to grow my side hustle into a legitimate, sustainable business. this past summer I got let go from my job, but at the same time was pulling 20-25k/mo from my business, so I took that leap of faith and went all in on my business. the month after I left, I hit it pretty big and set myself up pretty well for 2024. we are two weeks into January and I have already made $20,000. if I did not work, I would have to worry about paying my personal bills, while still bringing in capital for my business to grow. at this point, I am trying to make 2024 my best year yet. "theres levels to this shit, and every level has a new devil". I read this quote the other day, and I can tell you it is very true. its a "more money, more problems" kind of thing, but levels implying there is a step-up basis to this whole money thing. Since you are fresh out of college and have this mindset, please take my advice and set these goals: Monthly PROFIT goal: start with something manageable, then work your way up. have a 9-5 to cover your baseline living expenses, save capital to contribute to your business, and use the capital to mess around with a profit motive. maybe your first month you want to make $500. do not raise that goal until you hit that mark, and make a realistic next goal. 1k--> 3k--5k--10k--etc etc mitigate expenses: pay attention to what you pay for, and reduce unnecessary spending. starting out, you do not need a top of the line computer, start with like a regular macbook and go up as needed. Scaling: youll want to scale your business up and down as needed. if you make some good money doing something, scale it up, if it slows down, scale back a little to take off some of those extra expenses incurred while scaling up. but scaling is the name of the game. scale a business up, then diversify into to other income streams. "dont go broke tryna get fly" meaning stack your bread first before you go spending on luxury items. super nice clothes, cars, etc which will eat a lot of your capital, both personal and business capital.

  1503. I didn't even know physics majors had to take a Circuits class and Electronics class. As a Electrical & Computer Engineer major myself, I also struggled with Circuit Analysis( I almost failed the class, but grinded out on the final exam) with Electronics class somewhat easier. None of those were easy since those are weed outs and I can totally relate to your experiences.

  1512. Glad you stepped back from that ledge my friend. Even though I am older than you, having grown up in very similar circumstances, I can relate whole heartedly and I can tell you for sure, having a dysfunctional parents doesn't spell the end of life and doesn't mean you can't have an amazing family of your own where you change the destiny of your own life and the future of those you will provide and protect. I didn't go to college (couldn't afford it and didn't like school enough even if I did want to go) I got my manosphere education in the U.S. Marine Corps plus my many combat deployments and in the end I wound up many years later more independently wealthy than probably 99% of college graduates. My next goal is to learn how to start growing my own high quality cannabis and to bring cannabis awareness to the people of south korea if possible. keep dreaming big buddy, you seem like you'll make it.

At the end of the day I witness many people who have studied for years with PhDs and master degrees but are unemployed and stuck with student loans. That scares me. Because my school principal told me if I do good in my finals I will have a good future but that is a contrast with reality. Honestly don't know what to believe anymore šŸ˜¢

What I also learned is when you really have these mental problems with yourself, self improvement and attention from girls will feel good in the first few months or even 1-2 years but then again you will settle down, and ask yourself again am I good enough, how can I get even better etc. Itā€™s really exhausting

  1601. wow your channel is so refreshing and im so glad i stumbled across it. i do find the 9-5 to be my ultimate goal because i really dont see any other path for me, but you raise a lot of valid points. i worked as an independent contracting musician as a teenager before going to university and i much prefer going to college and having some tangible career to look forward to, even if i feel my life is at a standstill. i wish i had gone the community college route first, but unfortunately i took the prestige and name brand school and im too far in my studies to look back.

  1603. The red pill was always about learning about women's true nature. The biology, psychology and evolutionary nuts and bolts of female nature. That is all it ever was/is. The self help grift i.e. 'get your money right, work outbro, how to approach women' was attached to it by men who wanted to make a buck and exploit men who felt like they were on the outside looking in. The guys who got the mainstream attention were the grifters. I am red pilled. Not a woman hater, not a grifter, not an Instagram influencer, not a Bugatti owner. Just a man who benefitted from the knowledge out there and lives his life one day at a time, trying to better himself a bit every day. No hate, no sense of entitlement, no feeling of being a better person than the next person. Just a man who wants to be a fraction better the next day.

  1606. It's really awesome that you're having these realizations straight out of college! Keep going... I didn't "wake up" to these thoughts until I left my 9-5 to become a full time freelancer, and eventually small business owner. I always thought "getting a job" was the only way to make a living in the world. I think most people think this way. A lot of people aren't awake. Keep going, Alex!

  1611. @official_aweiĀ  You're remembering correctly. I saw a couple videos of yours a while back that seemed like you were taking steps towards a much better state, like your "Be this guy" video or the one about Mewing and then kind of stepped back for a while. Then this new video's thumbnail popped up and made we want to check in again - and from watching it, it seemed like a little morale boost might be called for. I really like the connect-with-nature approach you're taking. Pretty sure that will help, at lest from a mental health perspective, and it'll likely be good for your physical health, too. Hey, if I might recommend a channel to you, that gave me a lot of peace of mind, even if a lot of that channel's content might be quitw out-there, the channel is called Library of the Untold. The host has a very love-and-acceptance centered approach to pretty much everything, especially the struggles that we regularly encounter in life. If you don't know which video to start with, personally I would suggest just watching the first two or three videos (that is, simply going in chronologic order and beginning with the oldest uploaded video) and see how you like it. Also, my last comment ended quite abruptly, because our kids were starting to wake up while I was writing it, so I'm glad it still made some sense, even if it was incomplete. (Probably for the better too, since I'm prone to wall-texting... Wait, I just did it again, didn't I? Dagnabbit!) Well, have a wonderful day and all that good stuff!
    2
  1612. This might be a hot take to some people, but i would also say some of it has to do with biologically being a male. Society has long based our worth on what we can provide for others instead of just being loved unconditionally, so if we dont do that, we feel like failures and by extension, that bleeds out into society and breeds generations of boys who feel like they need to do everything and anything to succeed.
    2
  1613. Great story and itā€™s wonderful that you had this realization!
    2
  1614. Can relate, the most healthy I've ever felt in my life was when I was unemployed. I wanted to wake up every morning. I used to welcome every single day happily. so I used to go to sleep as early as possible.
    2
  1615. Agree with your opinion, what advice would you give to someone who's working a 9-5 but is unfulfilled and is looking to create a path for themselves... I've been wanting to pursue a new career path independently and start something of my own but the idea overwhelms me...
    2
  1616. Ā @official_aweiĀ  Thanks brotha, (can't exactly relate cause I'm a girl šŸ˜‚) but all jokes aside, I came across your channel and what you were talking about really resonated with me, I'm in my early 20s and where I'm from it's not common to hear young adults talking about how they want to become independent and establish something for themselves, the idea that's glamourised is working a corporate 9-5 and alot of my peers are focused on that path so hearing what you had to say was refreshing because I do wish that in a way many more people had that mindset because they would have freedom to live life the way they'd actually want to and not be bound to something... That's just my take on things but the advice you've given is really helpful and practical and I'll be making use of it because I think it'll help me have more of an idea with regards to what I want to do with my career going forward...

  1619. For Wheat Waffle, I kinda saw his end coming. I remember 2 years ago, I commented on a collab videos between him and Alexander Grace that although Iā€™ve never met him in person, but I always think his view towards the world and relationship between men and women sounded immature and full of defeat mentality, and that as he grows older, he will see the shift in reality. Nothing wrong with that, we all need time to grow up. I wish him the best, whatever his future path is.

  1620. A company I used to work for laid off all of their writers with very little notice and replaced them all with AI. I had left a little over a month beforehand to go back to university, so I wasn't relying on it, but there were 5 other writers there, all of whom had to scramble to find another job. I dodged a nasty bullet, but it was awful to watch.

  1646. Indifference is the key to building and sustaining attraction-- a kind of Devil-may-care attitude. Not the kind that is cold and apathetic, but the kind of indifference imbued with the attitude or energy of, "hey im interested in you and would like to see where this thing goes, but at the same time, if things don't work out, that's cool too, no worries. And really feeling like that.Girls can tell when a guy is thirsty for a gf and it kills attraction, the way to avoid making this mistake is cultivating the mind-set of indifference. Mix in some playfulness and spinkle in a bit of playful--cocky but funny behavior 10% of the time to keeps her on her toes and contineus to preserve a sense of mystery about you, will help a lot in your romantic encounters. Being good looking, or having a good job doesn't matter as much these days, especially with women able to make their own money. Women respond to indifference, mystery, and a man with a bit of edgeeee, and that sigma male confidence.

  1653. I can't read anything by AI. I start reading and when I realize it is AI, I am not able to go any further. AI is just not able to replicate the uniqueness of the human ability to create art. Imagine we get to the point that there is robots in sports. Why would you want to watch a robot hockey game? The whole point of the sport watching experience is that no game is ever the same that it is unscriptable. The tech companies need to keep shoving AI down our throats to justify the financial evaluations. Probelm is that they will destroy everything that makes humanity wonderful and beautiful in the process.

  1669. Dating apps are the equivalent to getting a root canal with crown, getting it redone because it failed and finally having to get the tooth extracted because it canā€™t be saved. Not only is there the ghosting issue, lack of common interest but a person has to be aware of catfishing (beauty filters) and fraud. Risk vs. reward makes dating apps as bad as trying to approach a stranger at the gym. Itā€™s getting to a point where people donā€™t feel like itā€™s worth the emotional stress and are just opting out. Probably why you see birth rates, marriage falling dramatically everywhere.

  1690. quick question what to do u do as a freelancer ?
    2
  1691. I am currently a high school senior and hope to get into college to study physics. However, I have been doubting if that would make me happy. I love physics and genuinely have a passion for it because I like space so much, but I can't ever see myself dedicating my whole life to academia. I used to be insecure about my intelligence because I would barely pass class, but now I couldn't care less about my average grades in college physics because it's a tough subject. What also helped was the realization I am one of 18 out of 1600 kids at my school taking Physics 2, so I was far from inadequate to the majority of people. Comparison means nothing when there are people who take on-level courses and live much happier and more fulfilled than me. I just want to be stable by doing something I like before I can quit and do my real passions which are art and game development...

  1692. I love you Asians. You are a successful and hard working people! You are good people! I look up to you actually.

  1694. I don't really like the tittle of the video. It's not like you couldn't get a job with a physics degree related to your field of study. Your past life and self and your present life and self are different and there's no relation besides the causal and chronological aspect. Sorry, I just don't like how you link one thing with the other in the tittle. You are unemployed by choice. Anyways, good wishes on your endeavors.
    2
  1695. Hi Alex. Iā€™ve written many times, AI+ robots -> everything will be zero cost, as entire value chain can be automated, with no pay. So no money needed at that point, no jobs, no money, free everything.
    2
  1696. At the risk of sounding racist, asians, especially the chinese have a problem with the concept of "saving face". They want to be liked too much and they place so much emphasis on others expectations that they never really develop their own identity. Asian parents also seem to want to live vicariously through their children's accomplishments.

    2
  1706. @official_aweiĀ  I typed this up during a 10 minute break from work so I did have some other stuff I didn't get to write. I want to say that I have watched your other videos and found them really relatable despite the different paths we took. I'm the only Chinese daughter of parents, the first generation of that family to be born and raised in a western nation (Australia). I also have/had a difficult relationship with my parents and their constant push for academic achievements. It was tutoring after school instead of hanging out with my friends, and training for tennis competitions and piano exams. I studied for 17 hours a day in my final year of high school. In the end, I think a change in mindset saved me from burning out in university - at some point, I just stopped trying to define myself by my parents' impossible standards. Now, in my free time, I like to explore an artsy side my family never encouraged, and I'm also halfheartedly looking into freelance writing, as writing was something I loved to do as a child and still did as a hobby even through my schooling years. I don't really know what the point of this comment was, but I guess it's to share my own story from across the pond.

  1707. Fyi; you dont even need to click the video to read the ai-generared summary. Personally I like them, if the thumbnail and title aren't exactly cutting it to catch my attention, the summary might be enough to convince me to watch it anyway.
