I appreciate the message, and I agree that a compliment should not be set aside as just a valueless statement. However, I don't think that the reason people do that is to fake their modesty (although, I'm sure there are exceptions). I think the actual reason -and I can say this from experience- is that the brain really likes to concentrate on the bad stuff. Evolutionarily, this makes sense, but in today's world it hinders our ability to see ourselves realistically, we fail to see the positive aspects of ourselves. I've been on all 3 ends of a denied compliment (receiver, giver and bystander who is worse than receiver), and I agree that it feels absolutely terrible in all cases. As you said, the best thing to do is to say "thank you".

This is a very insightful video, but I must say, your accent is very beautiful, and one of the reasons I enjoy watching your videos. Don't mistake me, this is not me finding it an exotic curiosity, nor is it me patronizing it by an adoration that stems from ridicule. To me, one of the biggest tragedies of the English speaking world is that I wished more people had their unique way of pronouncing English. I view yours in the same way as I'd view someone's unique sense of fashion. Also, I must say, my character in an roleplaying campaign, who I played and grew up with for 5 years (long campaign, I know) happens to be from a fictional region that is a mix between romania, Arabia, and turkey in culture. At some point, I wanted to make fun content for the other players, so I decided to render the voices of all characters using AI. Instead of just choosing a voice and rendering the text, I wanted them to sound more animated and alive, so I used a feature where you record your own voice, and the AI voice would speak with all your afflictions. I must say that the inspiration for my character's accent was influenced by you, although not perfect. Your accent is so beautiful, and it doesn't interfere with your command of English and the delivery of your thoughts, so much so, that I wanted my character of 5 years, a character I told so many deep personal stories and themes through, to have an accent similar to yours, because I associate your accent with a beautiful delivery that can deliver the most contemplative thoughts, the softest wisdoms, and genuine stories spoken from the heart, while sounding absolutely elegant doing it. Your accent turns any word into poetry, and for a character who comes from a nation known for its poetry, who else do I draw inspiration from? :)

You are an amazing young man and I think you are very wise and interesting. Also *NOBODY* speaks English "perfectly." I grew up in the midwest of the USA and think I speak with a really neutral accent. But in reality, I have an accent according to Bostonians, or Londoners, or Australians, or New Yorkers. And nobody knows all the proper grammar of any language, not to mention the 1.5 million words of the language. A language is an ocean and I swim in a part of it, just like you. Keep going!

@@Eli15201 That is interesting, I generally don't think of most of my exercise that way, therapeutically. I might consider something like snowboarding to be a relaxing all day time consuming endeavor especially with all the breaks taken on chairlifts. Most of the exercise I do fatigues me quite quickly so I move on with my day after not too long.

I think what the counterargument really tries to say is that you shouldn't just learn about it, but actually apply what you learn. Probably everyone knows, even if not consciously, that you need to know what you're doing in order to do it well, or at least not badly. But what some people (including me until a few months ago) do when they realize that is study and study but not apply, which leads to them being pretty booksmart but not streetsmart on the same information if that makes sense; like knowing you have to go to sleep earlier and work out but still clinging to bad habits and not changing them. On a side note, a lot of people may not better themselves because of depression. I also had this long battle, but in the end I beat it. The winning blow for me was realising that I was wasting my life. If you struggle with suicidal thoughts, please consider this: if you are not happy with what you have right now, why would you want that to be how you die?; if you are happy with your situation, why would you want to die? Try to get better. I know you probably should have started a long time ago, but the next best time is now. I can't promise things will get better if you do, but I can swear that they won't if you don't.

You speak incredibly well, you're young and you're learning, editing your speech gets easier with age as you become more aware of the power of words and the impact they have on the listener.

Nietzsche is not a Nihilist. He hated Nihilism, you can see this in his ideas of the Hollow Man and the Last Man. His phrase "God is dead and we have killed him" is referring to exactly what you are talking about in this video. People used to have their world view and morality defined and served on a predefined plate by the Church. All he is saying is that we have moved beyond this stage to some extent. Which CAN open the door to Nihilism, but can also leave us free to make up our own mind about right and wrong. In a way this is scary, but part of his philosophy of the Übermensch (or superior/super human), is to look at the world for all it's warts and flaws and still choose to not just see the beauty in it, but strive to make it better for us and those we share it with

Perhaps it is necessary to clarify which meaning of the word "philosophy" you are using. Philosophy is primarily the rational consideration (within the limits of logic) of aspects of reality that are not completely understood. It involves using critical thinking to construct hypotheses that better explain reality. It is also often used to refer to the personal worldview held by a particular philosopher or group of philosophers. Reality can only be considered absurd when framed within Idealism. However, Idealism is an irrational conception of reality.

Why Absurdism Is not My Favourite Philosophy =) Imo it is actually important to consider that there is an objective reality, with specific things that take place, others don't ect. I think that even if some behaviours are effectively absurd according to certain metrics that seem objective to us, our enviroment in itself is not intrinscly absurd (untill proven otherwise) and should not be considered as such. imo here's the path you're kinda taking rn : absurdism -> sophism -> social natural disaster -> super vilain irl -> mere chaos it is not to be taken too seriously jic xD and most of these steps can be taken in both directions anyway, and also ppl taking this path tend to settle down and not go down the whole thing EDIT : but realizing human behaviour/condition is absurd is freeing for sure
