Engaging so that the algorithm boosts this

Say this again over some Minecraft parkour, didn’t catch a word brother

Time to put this in my watch later to never watch cuz 20 minutes is crazy

Thankful to the algorithm to bringing you to the forefront! So glad i clicked and even more grateful that i stayed. You’re INCREDIBLY well spoken and you make your audience feel so safe, seen and heard. This video is a hidden goldmine!

Needed this! Thank you

STOP READING COMMENTS WHILE WATCHING VIDEO

i agree with much of what you're saying and thank you for your wisdom, though i do think there's a certain danger, a moralistic judgement, to buying into the mythos that there is such a thing as "good" or "bad" dopamine. it's all just dopamine, and there's even research suggesting our current understanding of dopamine may be inaccurate (jeong et al, 2022), not the Pleasure Chemical that pop psychology treats it as. i don't want to cast aspersions about *you* - this video is clearly not with the best intentions - but this idea of good and bad dopamine lacks scientific basis and allows people to make their moral judgments about what's a good or bad use of your time with the air of appearing intellectual, scientifically backed, and authoritative. in an era where science takes the place of religion, good or bad dopamine provide a way to decree virtue and sin. any binary is flawed, but i've found it much healthier to look at activities through the lens of nurture or deficit. is this activity nurturing myself, am i nourishing my mind amd my creativity with stuff that interests and fulfills me, or am i pushing myself into deficit, am i overwhelming and exhausting myself with content that allows me to ignore me thoughts and feelings, avoid the material world? on the other hand, the binary dopamine mythos fulfils and often conservative judgement, frequently used by alt-right pseudoscience grifters who want the world to think the science agrees with them. again, i liked the video and thank you for it, i just wanted to open your mind to something you may not have considered. substack blogs like Sluggish spend a lot of time discussing this dopamine mythos and would be worth checking out if you're interested

Hey Josh Czuba, i heard you say you are learning about human psychology. Is there any books you have read and can recommend?

Are you a psychologist? Or learning to be one? :D

Thank you. Truly.

Amazing, thank you. There’s a convergence of a lot of ideas here which I’ve been thinking about lately. This was a brilliant video, thank you for sharing.

much love! fantastic content and what a voice 🫶

LOVE THIS VID!! Listen y'all!

yapping session

18:00 Hopeful.

thank you for this my friend! you are well thought out and put together and have a golden future!

Yr u don't need to stay away away from social media find any productive work u will find u are not wasting ur time on social media u need to just fill that void that u are using to fill with social media or any media where u are using ur time .

Yeah i really don't think this guy has anything useful to give anyone. Just another ego who likes to hear himself talk

If you play this video at 2x speed, you only need 10 minutes of attention.

trying my best but i have diagnosed adhd. i also can't be left alone with my thoughts

this hits hard after realizing all ive been doing this time is just non-stop dopamine distractions because i feel im not TRULY passionate about anything, thats something thats been in my head for a long time. it feels wrong but i dont know what to do about it, i stay up late watching youtube and other stuff and the next morning i feel horrible, but for whatever reason i keep doing it. it is currently 3:13AM in my time zone and im writting this after watching this whole video and i feel like im not that fucked after all, thanks for making this video, it has truly helped me realize i got to change my ways.

genuinely thought this was gonna be a meaningless nothing-burger video that tells me things ive already been told, but honestly this video is one of the most useful and actionable videos about motivation and productivity ive ever watched. thank you so, so much for helping me outta the dopamine pit.

I’m gay now

I'd just like to say thank you so so much for providing a positive voice for people struggling with digital consumption, especially as a man. As you touched on, a lot of the advice on avoiding mindless consumption comes from self-improvement circles, which as you mentioned, rely (typically due to its profitability) on negative self-talk as a source of fuel to avoid consumption. Instilling a deep sense of shame and envy into people often gives short manic bursts of high motivation, but then you come crashing back down after it ends feeling like a piece of trash. This is what keeps a lot of the self-improvement industry going, tantalizing people with these short bursts of motivation and productivity but continually keeping them in the state of discontent and addiction due to their fundamental issues of shame and self hatred that are left unaddressed. Your advice is a lot more practical and promoting self love, which is of course healthier in the long-term. I have to say that especially for young men struggling with digital media addiction, you are fulfilling a role that is desperately needed, to help prevent the Andrew Tate's of the world from raising the young generation to combat consumption by unhealthy means of self hatred and shame. Your advice is a lot more individualized, which is also something desperately needed right now. Self improvement circle tends to obsess over having specific goals, like getting a lot of money or looking jacked, and specific practices that are "MUST DO'S" like cold showers, lifting weights, martial arts, etc. (which are fine if you like them but certainly are not "one size fits all" solutions). On the other hand, your advice specifically leaves the details to the viewers so that they can discover their own goals and practices that work for them. So thank you so much for being that positive voice and inspiring so many to be better humans, especially providing a desperately needed positive voice for young men. Cheers to you and I know you're for sure going places with this.

Ngl, i think i fell in love

This math isnt mathing

Have this saved in my watch later. Dont think ill ever get around to watching it, 20 mins is too long

This is fake good in reality it’s absolute ass

This video shattered my view of consumption and algorithmic content

There is no “meaningful” in nature, again another human concept

THANK YOU!!!! I feel like you just changed my whole perception of what social media is. Also, it’s kinda sad how low our attention is worth 😭

tl;dr?

Thanks i really needed That.

Your speech and delivery are top notch, I’m very impressed 👍

I started going on long walks with no phone in the morning once I wake up. Everyone should do this, cannot recommend more.

You're on the right path Josh. You found it! Anyone that knows what I'm talking about, I am sure, feel proud of you.

I saved this in my brilliance “content”.

I watched so many Video on this topic… But your brain works really awesome. Its enjoyable listening to you! Would appreciate to talking to you face to face. That’s what we all need. Precious conversations with real moments. I’m doing a lot sports with groups. Yoga, soccer etc. Also making music with my band. At those moments I feel really good. But when I come home, just want to chill a bit on scrolling, I do it to long… Don’t need it, but it’s a drug!

"if we can apply ourselves conciosuly to training our mind, our body, our humanity.. we WILL be FREE." best 20 minutes my attention has seen for a while.

how did mark z allowed this to be reccomended

i stopped the video at the 14:55 cause i starting to cry, you motivate me to chase the things that I was passionate about as a child. Thank you so much

Thanks for trying to help

You are a delight. This is so refreshing and helpful. Thank you for this!

Deep down we all know that resting is the best treatment for this silent struggle of humanity in the current times. The solution is always clear ( or foggy let's just say) but the problem comes down to looking for an external source to validate that. We keep looking for that one video which sparks the energy within us to just take that first step. Thank god I clicked on this video. I found what I truly needed. Well done! Now it's time to restart my brain.

Oh boy another course
