6 Lies You're Told About The World

[@AnthonyVicino]

Yo friends! Which of these lies resonated the most with you? Let me know down below. Also, if you want to keep up with my weekly musings on productivity, business, really just how I try to make progress - I have a newsletter you might enjoy! www.anthonyvicino.com/newsletter

[@thelifewithnate]

A combination of lies including the school lie and the focus lie. Recently discovered these lies through a lot of self-education and reflection to try to discover other ways or paths in life of being fulfilled.

[@doublecheckityt]

My children believe the school lie even though I let them know it’s a total lie. Goes to show that if you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it.

1 - the focus lie. Simply because we can’t focus on things that are boring us, does not mean we don’t have focus. We may be able to focus very well on things that do interest us. 2 - the lie of enough. The hedonic treadmill means that your baseline of happiness stays the same, regardless of accomplishments and things we pursue. Purpose is most important - find what you are drawn to and focus on it. 3 - the consumer lie. You will feel empty when you chase cheap sources of dopamine. The price of passively consuming is the person you could’ve become. 4 - the thinking lie. Don’t cherish your opinions. Our minds are chaos until we get clarity and a grip on our thinking process. One of the best ways to do this is through writing. The best thinkers he knows are writers. 5 - the lie of the exceptional. No one is special. Hard work and discipline and a whole lot of luck is needed. However, you can create your own luck.

[@AnthonyVicino]

Good summary

[@anniesshenanigans3815]

dont forget about the "imposter lie".

[@LAStars-sratS]

Thanks for the quick view 👍

[@Apathopalypse]

I agree with these, but there's a lot of contradictions. 'create' luck contradicts the meaning of luck. If you do a thing, you did a thing. That's not luck. Hard work or effort isn't luck, luck is random by definition. So you say work hard AND still need luck. That implies the effort isn't enough to control all outcome, which is true. Luck is needed & it can't be controlled. If it can be controlled that's effort not luck.

PRECISELY SIR, I am glad there are many WOKE (no not that "WOKE") ppl nowadays. I meant to write "always question everything" but he already wrote it. Here is another thing. April the 1st - the fools day??? Why? Archeologists recently found some very old scripts (on archeological site near Belgrade called "Vinca civilization", some say its the oldest location discovered so far). There, amongst other, scientists concluded their month had 28 days and they had 13 months in a year. They celebrated New Year on 1st of April. However, we have been told that our european predecesors celebrated NY on 1st of January for centuries. Now, WHY would they celebrate that day (1st of Jan), when night is longest and day is shortest??? Whats the point? On the other hand, 1st of April is the day when nature awakens. Also, women has their periods each 28 days. Strange, right? Fools day? Hmmmm. Also, lies have been told to children so that they get used to beeing lied to later in life.

[@rc8929]

Just remember to verify what you believe. Especially scientific conspiracies and can best be reviewed with peered reviewed scientific literature that are duplicated from different countries. It escalates the bar so high. It removes intra-country conspiracies. Just as example, autism rates from Taiwan are very low, yet has the same or more aggressive vaccine schedule than USA. Critical thinking is extremely important even if scientific literature is too dense.

[@anniesshenanigans3815]

I think the best 'job' I had I felt like an imposter. It was the most challenging and the most fullfilling! I quit because I felt like I didn't know enough. I now see that it was probably the best thing I have done and really should go back to it. I think about it all the time, I talk about it and miss it, despite the 'defiicits' in my knowledge. I started watching this video thinking I would learn about lies of the 'world' as in global things.. and was very pleasantly surprised (or startled maybe) that the lies are things that we as individuals have adapted to. Like the focus lie. When my son was in first grade they tried to force me to medicate him and I refused. I refused the lie, and really had no idea that I was doing that. I am glad I did. I have always been a writer. Not of novels or anything, but of my feelings and thoughts, and lists... Lots of lists!! I know that the brain dump onto paper gets it out of my head so I can stop thinking about nonsense. But I have never tried to write in order to get focused on things that I needed to develop or 'organize' for a purpose. That writing has been very difficult. I see now that it is probably the most creative part of trying to develop ideas. That will be my next 'focus'. Thank you for this enlightening video and I am sharing it with the people in my social circle.

I was diagnosed with ADHD and was put on a medication when I was young as well. In high school it ended up causing me severe depression and during Senior year I quit. I’m 23 y/o now and over the past five years I have deeply taken an interest in naturopathic medicine and have been able to put my own natural uniqueness to good use.

Scattered Minds by Gabor Mate

[@edennis8578]

You might like to see THE RED GREEN SHOW, ADVENTURES WITH BILL, and ADHD. They discuss how people with ADHD are the very people who make great first responders, firefighters, etc., because their brains go into high gear in an emergency. They're the people we want on hand when things go south. While everyone else is standing around like a deer in the headlights, the ADHDers do what needs to be done.

[@jimalexander687]

The pharmaceutical industry does not want anyone healed. They make their money by keeping people perpetually sick (both physically and mentally), while assuring an endless supply of consumers to purchase their products. Not coincidentally, that the Greek word translated into English as "sorcery" in the New Testament is φαρμακεία (pharmakeia).

[@francespearce9266]

30 years ago I told my sons the lie about school and reaching the next stage and the next and so on. My advice was listened to. One became a musician but couldn't live on low income so went back to study for accountancy. The other loves the countryside and has become a lanscape artist, earning just enough to get by.. Guess which one is happiest?

[@AnthonyVicino]

That's amazing. Thanks for sharing!

[@csakzozo]

[@whitewhiteboy89]

There are things beyond employment that can cultivate a sense of purpose.

[@fishintheocean-i4g]

Unless you're willing to create your own art for free, everyone is stipulated into "the success" expectations of society. For example Mike Diana was being his own artist when he made Boiled Angel back in the early 90s and he was heavily at odds with many of the people at least in Florida. And nowadays you couldn't be an artist in that sense, at least unless you're willing to not get any money at all for it (it won't be sold). Now I understand that the artist you're speaking of wants to be a landscape artist, that's what he's comfortable with. And fine, I get it. But it's kind of beside the point. In the grand scheme of things people hold the cards on authoritarianism. The politicians in government, the companies, sure, they do authoritarian practices that are at odds with the will of the public. But it's only at odds with the will of the public because it's not the authoritarianism they wanted. There's very, very, very seldom anyone who's actually serious about believing in the Bill of Rights these days. The rest of em are NPC zombies engaged in their authoritarianism war, vying for which dystopia they feel is better.

[@tbobtbob330]

I went to college, got a degree, got a career, worked hard, and retired early. I keep hearing about this route being a "lie," but it worked for me and seems to be working for young people following the same path. Just choose a career path with a future. I had severe ADHD, but meds kept it under control and was a huge help. I discovered Buddhist meditation in my 40s, and it completely cured all my symptoms - no more meds. Even now, I need either meds, or I can meditate regularly. Meditation is the biggest factor in achievement and progress I've ever seen.

I remember my very first day of preschool, I just remember my mom got me dressed and walked me to my classroom, and said bye I knew she would come back later so I said bye . I decided to start looking around the room, i member seeing a bookshelf full of different books, and a bunch of other kids were crying... I thought it was really weird I had no idea what was wrong, I wondered why all these kids were crying for their parents, .. I knew babies would cry for their parents and I found it strange that these kids were doing the same... because their parents were going to come back . I tend to be very observant , I’m autistic , Although it can come with many frustrations and limiting traits it also has some fascinating ones Learning to accept limitations along with gifts is some thing I’m working on! I think in general we just need to be kinder to ourselves and allow us to make mistakes and learn❤

[@Samanthax1221]

Thanks so much for the thoughtful suggestions on improving focus. I really appreciate you highlighting the importance of designing our spaces and routines in ways that minimize distractions. That's such wise advice that I will definitely be implementing. I also found your point about how constantly seeking more doesn't lead to fulfillment very impactful. You're so right that true contentment stems from purpose and meaning, not material things. I aim to remind myself of that more often. Thank you as well for the perspective on how consumption alone cannot provide fulfillment - it must be created through meaningful acts of creation. I will strive to resist passive entertainment and instead spend time on activities that spark joy and nourish my soul. I appreciate you encouraging deeper thinking and writing as tools to organize thoughts. I have pages and pages of disorganized ideas that I've been meaning to synthesize. You've inspired me to make time to transfer those ideas to my computer and bring structure to them. Finally, your point about seeing leaders as flawed humans like ourselves really resonated. It's helpful to remember that success comes from perseverance, not innate exceptionalism. I used to put leaders on pedestals, but your words have encouraged me to have confidence in my own potential.

Hello Anthony and thank you very much for your incite and for sharing it with us (with me). Watching through this video has given me lots to think about and helped me realise its only me who can do anything to change or improve my life, but not in a materialistic way. I came across this video by happy accident, the title got my attention and I watched it, thinking I'll only see a few seconds before I move on to another one. But no, what I was hearing from you really impressed me and made me watch right through till the end and made me want to see more. So now I have subscribed to your channel and looking forward to seeing what else you have to tell me. I can tell you this though, if someone with ADHD can think so clearly I kinda wish I had it too at some time in my life. Hope that doesn't sound too insulting for anyone cause its not meant to. I especially got interested in the part where you were talking about writing things down to help get it clarified in the head and I'm gonna try do that myself to try sort out a few bits of car crash that's going on in my life just now and hopefully help me figure out where I want to go in my future. I think I'm gonna need to re-watched this one again a few times before it all sinks in properly but I don't think that is going to be too much of a problem. Thank you again Anthony.

Beyond the Apex! I hope I am stupid enough to not give up on my current project because I think this could become a real success. But it is very difficult to not go into the thought spiral of what might change and go wrong and be stressful and so on, so not putting work into it seems to be far more rewarding, at least in the short term. And I was never diagnosed but labeled “problematic” throughout my school career and very likely have ADHD, but I really don’t care about this one. I can focus just fine, if I find the right thing to keep me engaged. So the trick is to make things interesting enough for me to keep going. Easier said than done…

I was about 16 years old, when one evening I was all alone and bored, so I took some LSD. I was in my room, waiting for it to hit me, and was watching TV. Well, a few hours later I finally turned off the TV and got out some oil paint and started painting. And it suddenly occurred to me that I had totally wasted that first 3 hours of the experience staring at the television. Then I started to think, why do I have a TV in my bedroom. And how insidious that piece of technology is. It began in living rooms, then slowly worked its way into our most intimate spaces, where we are the most vulnerable. Then I thought about how the broadcasts were called programming... and that was it, I punted that TV right outta my bedroom and never looked back. I still don't watch television to this day.

[@AnthonyVicino]

[@brandonhughes645]

This is actually really good.

@AnthonyVicino Beyond the apex! Thanks for the video. The imposter syndrome is a thing for me because I’ve been struggling to know the “secret” to how someone can run an online store and make $20k a month…are they a genius? Am I up to their level or should I just quit? This video made me realize I need to keep working on what I believe I can do and with enough time and energy I will build up a system that works or I will learn all the things that don’t work. I had a thought a few years ago when I was really struggling… “The threshold for one to be uncomfortable is precisely the threshold for one’s growth.” I need to keep pushing my boundaries and get myself into a new environment where I understand nothing. Then when I perceive the world around me, I can absorb all the information that’s new to me and actually grow. Really appreciate you’re insight Anthony!

[@AnthonyVicino]

Don't let a label define you.

[@lampyrisnoctiluca9904]

I agree. For too long I let my major depressive disorder diagnosis define me. Now I am no longer thinking of myself as a depressive. I may have a disease that is making my life harder than it would have been without it, but I am not my illness. People would have it hard to believe how much seeing yourself as someone who has something wrong with them is making your life harder. Much harder than it needs to be. I think that psychiatrists would need to speak with people about it more. My little nephew is having an autism diagnosis. As soon as he will be big enough to understand what I am talking about, I will be telling him not to mind being different, not fitting in or similar stuff. I will do my best to convince him he is good enough as he is and not to let the stupid labels define him. Believing in those labels defining you or having others believe in labels about you is dehumanising. If I would ever have kids, I will definitely teach them that labels on people = bad.

[@HistoricInaccuracy]

How we think of ADHD is terribly not helpful. A lot of people’s brains are just not built for the way we have structured modern society.

First understand completely the situation. You described the life in a first world country. In a capitalistic system. Everything we do is a conbination of earning models. The goal of every earning model is 'added value' and 'margin' to make 'profit'. Your earning level relates to your position in these earning models: consumer, worker, manager, executive, shareholder. Like a pyramid. And accumulative wealth grows when your investments are in the shareholder part. So yes, 'flow' is a good description, but do your 'flow' in level 3 and 4 to achieve accumulative wealth. And consume with your mind, plan, do, act and control. Less or preferably no addictions, more investments in your personal development (house, representative clothing, good healthy food, minimal medication, frequent sports, cultural fun, long term preparations like pension). And above all, family is important, real friends, mental and fysical well-being. Whatever you do, answer the question in which earning model you operate at that moment? Act wisely, consciously, balanced and self centered. Carpe diem, and momento mori.

[@AnthonyVicino]

Agreed across the board.

[@jacobcoughlin2408]

I'll refrain from commenting until I finish the video. I do hope that he hits a few points. Already on number one. Same riddlin gave me nightmares bad, they transitioned to Adderall and the nightmares went away mostly. The teachers and parents were overwhelmed with the sheer volume of kids they needed to attempt to attend to. Public schools suffer from oversized class bodies. You and I needed either freedom to pursue subjects that we were interested in or the attention from a mentor to guide us and help us every step of the way. They just couldn't devote the time necessary for our needs.

We all have traits of ADHD. Hyper-focus is a trait. If I’m doing something I enjoy I pay no attention to what’s going on around me. It’s like when you see people looking at their phone whilst walking across a road and they are oblivious to the car that is about to hit them

[@AnthonyVicino]

Good vid, thanks!

[@AnthonyVicino]

Thank you!

Very intuitive, observant of how we humans actually function ! Only people who are not constantly latching onto where other people’s attention is can seriously consider thus though…

[@AnthonyVicino]

Glad you enjoyed!

thank you!

You're welcome!

[@philparisi9175]

Yes, thoughts on peace of mind are really the most poignant part of your video. I’m older than you. I’m pretty sure but I never really thought about putting my own piece of mind first and I was just taking on too much and getting so stressed out and so tiredthat I came close to having a nervous breakdown because I felt like I couldn’t let go of anything. I had to do it all and I have to tell you since I’ve made peace of mind for me my priority it has freed up a lot of room to do everything else but you don’t know that or know how much control you have over it until you are forced to face it. That should be the priority. That’s one lesson everyone should learn.

[@AnthonyVicino]

Peace of mind is priceless.

[@christianhuntercascon888]

excellent presentation friend 👍♾️🙏🏾

[@AnthonyVicino]

Thank yoU!

[@greghayes9118]

I’m glad I watched this no B/S segment. Sometimes you need someone outside your circle to voice reality, for it to sink in. Let’s now see if I can apply it.

[@AnthonyVicino]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@hobocraft0]

I'm going to call this train of thought and philosophy ' sober positivity'.

[@AnthonyVicino]

I'm here for it!

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I appreciate your honesty. It feels good embracing exactly who you are.

Another way of thinking about these “lies” is to recognize that they arise from linear thinking and reductionism. Your solutions all come from higher order thinking, systems thinking, holistic thought, thinking about thinking (meta) etc. Just my 2 cents. I think children are this way naturally, that is why systems such as the education system often blindside them in the way you described. Linear thinking and reductionism often arise from feelings of scarcity, desperation (it needs to be done now), inadequacy. Such thinking tools forever perpetuate and reinforce the systems that create the environment that in turn encourages them. The dragon of Ouroboros as a self perpetuating cycle.

[@AnthonyVicino]

Agreed. I've talked about the importance of developing Divergent Thinking in other videos (rather than mere Convergent Thinking that schools teach us).

I'll be happy when I have my new home paid off. After that, I'll be happy when I learn to SAIL my new home. And after that, I'll be happy when I arrive in the Bahamas. After that awaits the next big adventure!

Someday... someday. :)

[@NeoOnenessSubliminals]

A great method to reprogram your subconscious mind for new beliefs that lead to new thoughts and behavior is by using audio subliminals.

[@AnthonyVicino]

[@BeyondAlphaAcademy]

Thanks for the tips. I agree on all 5 points and the way you presented them. Keep going 🔝

[@AnthonyVicino]

Thankyou! Glad you enjoyed.

Another excellent Video. So true: The price of all the ~ cheap dopamine in our lives is The person you could have become. Well said!

[@AnthonyVicino]

Absolutely!

[@arguescreamholler]

I wasn't told those things. I was told I had to go. Period. I found reasons to go myself, and I also had many reasons why I didn't go. *My having a high school diploma really saved my life from poverty for having it.* THE CHOICE OF WHAT I DID WITH IT MADE THE DIFFERENCE! *Without it, I'd be one of the homeless in a tent somewhere was a great possibility.*

[@AnthonyVicino]

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for this excellent video, it’s just what I needed. Subscribed!!!

Nice! Welcome aboard!

I had the same experience but my Catholic School Nun told my mother I was a Day Dreamer. Now I fully support myself being a Day Dreamer - I was Critically thinking but I did not know it at the time. That was about 1971 or 1972.

[@AnthonyVicino]

I'm all about daydreaming. Did a video on this awhile back. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXXMc2Bsqsl1mJI

[@johnalexir7634]

You would think that they more you have, the better off you'll be. The opposite tendency tends to hold: the more you have, the more you want; the very wanting that indefinitely defers real fulfilment.

[@AnthonyVicino]

More only begets the need for more.

[@LearnThaiRapidMethod]

ADHD has been on the rise since “marketing” and political theater were invented. We’re bombarded with messages & stimuli designed specifically to distract us. Even having to focus at school or work is a distraction from what’s really important in life, coz it’s easier to control us and make money off of us to do so. The concept (or more accurately the “problem”) of ADHD doesn’t really exist among homeschooling children. You pinpointed the biggest lie: consumerism. Our entire economy is based on consuming, more and more. A boom is when people have confidence to spend money and consume, a depression is when we spend less and save. I set up a foundation in Thailand, primarily for homeschooling families, but eventually for anyone wanting to live independently (without necessarily going completely off-grid and living like a Prepper). In the process, I’m developing a concept of an “enough” economy. I’m not sure how that will work exactly, but the idea is to work backwards from what would be “enough” for you in life, and then designing a life that simply maintains that with as little effort as possible - early retirement, if you will…

[@AnthonyVicino]

Fair point

[@Newyoutubechannel1121]

In Canada. As a Native Person living here... our school systems LIED to us. Taught us Christopher Columbus was a hero. Our Canadian school systems are changing and the children are being taught about our own country. Growing up I remember learning about different countries. We were not taught very much about our own country in our schools. Even some Canadians didn't know how badly the natives were treated.

[@AnthonyVicino]

Interesting.

[@piperpb]

You're genuinely a nice guy, love the content!

[@AnthonyVicino]

I appreciate that! Thank you!

[@makegeorgeorwellfictionaga9268]

On number one I agree with you, I just call it discipline

[@AnthonyVicino]

Intereting.

[@slowrunn3r88]

Going off the first point, Sir Ken Robinson (rest in peace 😔), had a TEDTalk “do schools kill creativity?” He mentions a woman who, as a girl, was called “disruptive,” but the psychiatrist said “she’s not sick, she’s a dancer! Put her in a dance class!” Some people LITERALLY need to move to think!!! . Ken Robinson then explained how that girl grew up to start a dance studio! . And he adds “somebody else would have given her medicine and told her to calm down”

[@AnthonyVicino]

One of the best TED talks of all time. Highly recommended.

[@jwetzel3141]

So many young people are unhappy because the greatest creation is children. You can do art, sure. But form a family and create that. That’s a whole new level.

[@AnthonyVicino]

Interesting

[@The_Questionaut]

Favorite memory of halo? This video was great 👍

[@idolhanz9842]

Wow..this is what I taught my 2 sons so long ago. One is a CPA and the other became a Space Force Officer assigned to the NRO.

[@AnthonyVicino]

Very cool

[@TheMikeMacchi]

The act of creation IS almost always difficult. Re: creation has it's spiritual obstacles. Society is full of people wanting, needing and actively trying to be heard, understood, spirituality supported and successful in thier goals. Let's imagine each of these creative beings as a painter... Well there are only so many walls. Let's imagine these creatives to be musicians.. Well stage space is also limited. So there becomes a competition for the attention of others. For every person who needs to be heard there is some other trying to keep them quiet.

[@AnthonyVicino]

Truth

[@stevemarshall3986]

I've learned a long time ago that the consumer lie is only fulfilling for about a day.

[@AnthonyVicino]

Exactly right

[@troyspain7073]

Nice video and can relate!

[@AnthonyVicino]

Psyched to hear that

[@jaredshaw5023]

I empathize. Like you I was diagnosed with ADD and society wanted to put me on meds. I said no because pharmaceutical companies want you to be sick.

[@AnthonyVicino]

Right on

[@thesilentgeneration]

This is motivating for young people. With age, however, comes limitations that we cannot overcome.

Time gets us all in the end.

Beyond the Apex! Thank you for sharing so much wisdom! You've just reminded me that the journey is the real goal and not the finish line, and that the impostor syndrome has only one solution: just keep growing and enjoy the process as you go.

Ha! So that's what I was on last night, when I was writing my difficult About page last night until 1am - *FLOW!*

[@darleneatkinson3906]

Well, Anthony Vicino, first I say thanks for sharing your videos that in my eyes is brave, I could not make myself do that no matter what I tell myself, I did not go to kin garden non did I go see doctors non did I go to high school I never went to collage because I came from 1950's generation, I help my parents on a farm. I did not hear from outside my parents and siblings, So, I had zero expectation about life in general. I stay single never had children live simple yet enjoyable life got to see 22 state and Canada paid off everything my youngest brother stay with me. I see life very enjoyable love KZbin great to watch all types of videos. My dad said work pay for my way in life be kind people will be kind back. See people as gods of creation, love myself love everybody else and what I give in life returns to me. We are creators because the spirits that created us are creators so that why we feel like we need to be doing things making things. I do not know much about cave people never meant none. But regular people all love to feel good enjoy their existent and have something they love to do. That all I really know I think people are raise different so many people see life differently. Thanks, have great 2024 years.

[@AnthonyVicino]

Thanks, Darlene!

[@MadebySharuk]

I have adhd, and I agree with u sure. But also, I feel like your argument kinda invalidates adhd, making it seem “made up”, adhd doesn’t only affect focus, it affects other parts of my life so much more such as priorities, social life, impulses, adhd paralysis, and so much more

[@AnthonyVicino]

I would say priorities, social life, impulse control, and analysis paralysis all stem from a focus management problem. Not sure which part of my argument is invalidating ADHD in your mind, but I assure you that's not my intent.

[@WolfIonGaming]

The biggest lie I have ever been told is ( and thank goodness I didnt buy it) was that once you're rich, you can quit your job and retire early in your 40's. Retiring early is a huge mistake even if you get wealthy, as you lose your sense of productivity and purpose. Plus it can lead to boredom amd a feeling that life just drags on.

[@AnthonyVicino]

Retirement is the greatest lie of all.
