“Thug it out” - Samuel Hydeggar

[@woodywong76]

As a celebrity I think Sam really doesn't experience things like loneliness on the scale that these people writing in do. These people are probably talking about spending a week without experiencing human contact face-to-face. Sam on the other hand has a whole throng of people orbiting him on the daily. Its a matter of scale. Order of magnitude type of difference.

[@anon69669]

Yes thank you man. Sam doesnt know what the fuck he’s talking about. I listen to a lot of his advice but for some things like this he’s just being an asshole and clearly has zero understanding what its like…so fucking annoying because i like and admire sam. But the idea of just “ignore you lonliness and focus on money” is a good recipe for suicide, and then of course sam will say suicidal people are weak losers. Yeah i dont take any mental health advice from sam he’s good at a lot of things but not mental health.

[@Ravalin]

yeah as a fan of his I often take stuff like this with a grain of salt since he and much of his crew don't exactly live normal lives where they dealt with the same struggles most people do. Not saying he never experienced issues and such but blah.

[@theslavicharuspex]

come on dude... use your brain a little. obviously sam is not talking about right now, when he has an office and a team of people and he's no longer seen as a person you can you lose your job for associating with. you need to remember the dude spent years living dirt poor out of his car and also burned every bridge imaginable after world peace got cancelled.

Edit: Read the book. As much as HAGAKURE has been a special book in my life, people need to understand it is a romantic view of the bushido, written in a time of peace where samurai were using pens more than swords, by a nerd born in the warrior cast that never fought. He was just fantasizing about the samurais of before and wrote something accordingly. (Not from his ass though, the guy was very well read) The book was forgotten immediately and only resurfaced because of 20th century japanese imperialism and got popularized because it fitted Mishima's fetichism (about bushido, Japan and other manly things). Kind of like when kids believe that Knights can only be good, because they were read romantic 18th century stories about the Crusades. Still love the book.

[@wrcz]

I hate these comments that immediately shoot everything down just to appear smart. Yes we get it, everybody is a starry-eyed idiot and we don't "get" Hagakure (or Nietzsche, stoicism or whatever). You don't have to immediately turn people away from reading it by writing stuff like that. Obviously it might be a bit romanticized. But that doesn't make it any less true. Just like you can get inspired by works of fiction (Bible amirite? hAhaAHa). Like when you read Berserk and the following 2 years you grind your ass off in the gym because you wanna be like Guts. Then some asshole comes along and says "Heh, guys, don't be stupid, actually you'll never be able to lift such a heavy sword, it's just fiction!" How about shut up and let people read it any derive ANYTHING good they possibly can from it. How about that Because I can guarantee you that there are some (Especially younger) people who will want to read Hagakure, then 1 minute later read your comment and be like "Oh, I guess it's not as useful then, well off to Fortnite!".

"written in a timeof peace where samurai were using pens more than swords, by a nerd born in the warrior cast that never fought" That seems extremely relevant to our times now what do you mean

[@alexharrisson5926]

@@wrcz My comment was very light hearted but I get it could seem demeaning. I tried to give a bit of context because it is not so well known but still very interesting.

I think the author knew of his particular angle, writing that "Bravery and Cowardice are things that cannot be conjectured in times of peace."

[@wrcz]

@@alexharrisson5926 I understand your point, I'm just saying that it comes off a little bit dismissive and if somebody is unsure whether to read it, they probably won't because it's "fantasy" but of course it was interesting

you just sound like somebody who's trying to put other people off from reading the book. why are you forcing your interpretation of this helpful book on other people?

[@CptFitzgerald]

The most hilarious thing about Sam and his admonishing "advice" for his brand is that he unironically almagamates all of his friends for these things. I'm done wasting time on this aspect on him. He's a diciplined creator and a good organizer, but he is doing no service with his "takes"- rather, a complete diservice. If you're alone, the meta of the very societal ilks he critiques is as much of a causation as flagellation of yourself for supposedly being feminine that he recommends. If you want to fix the underlying causation of your issue- the first step is to realize that this current state of affairs was never the norm. People are all wrapped up and isolated by design- whether it be intentional or not. The first step to not hating yourself for being alone is to realize it's not your fault and to find other avenues. Being in a rut is not solved by shaming yourself. Fuck this guy.

[@woodywong76]

Yeah. At a certain point he just started enjoying shitting on people and his advice turns to basically bullying, shaming and talking shit.

[@donjuanmckenzie4897]

@CptFitzgerald Your point is self-defeating. If people are isolated because of social structures but can overcome it, then it is their fault for being alone, and the onus is on them to somehow find someway that bucks the social trend.

Ima say that the less I came out to “party” the more people were drawn to me. Whenever I would go out, people would be genuinely happy to see me, but I never over did it.

[@EliLemke-ft3fs]

I think sam is getting on the verge of where he should stop doing this kind of youtubing not because i dont agree with him or think its all quite savy and good, moreso the opposite to contain the volume of his message with room for reality. You can only be the guy who gets it for so long until it starts dissolving into an amalagmation of condescending empirical evidence based solely on your experience. Yes its accurate advice, but the world is too vast and far more complex in the way things organically play out in our lives to fit under the lets be real small umbrella that is sams content. Over time it becomes.....auspiciously dialed in , not to a fault though! This isnt a insult its just the flavor of attitude gets old. The way we should live our lives rapidly changes on the condition of a multitude of factors that just outpace spoken word. It's like I could write everything he's going to say before the next video even drops and he doesn't deserve that, he's a smart dude. I think he himself deserves a community that pushes him to actually get off youtube and just live his life. The goal of even getting together and agreeing on things like this is to meet in real life and flesh them out
