I come back and watch this video every few months

[@jmanb1]

Excellent song choice to an orgasmic video. I knew to not give up on you frank!

[@frankyang]

Schopauhaur said that if you have gifted mental faculties, working at a useful job would be like putting a real nice flower on a drink case for decoration, which is very wasteful. Even if you dont have to work at a 9-5, you'll still not be able to do what i do. Sorry brah.

[@palden45]

Frank what do you do for a living. like what kinda job do you do? m fking curious as hell

[@Emergingpker]

i think, or terminator i dont remember lol

[@XYZGreen]

Isn't everything in life absurd or pointless? Even practicing art or philosophy? Philosophy is meaningless, a game of intellects cleverly rearranging their bias' into complicated arguments. Someone isolating themselves with gifted mental facilities is like isolating a real nice flower in a box for no one to realize the aesthetics of the flower. Gifted minds, like flowers, should be able flourish outside with other living beings. But I guess you're video taping the flower from inside the box.

[@frankyang]

My goal is not self improvements per se, but the spread of my memes. I'm trying to grow a bigger mind BBC so I can penetrate more minds.Sure if the opportunity arises I'll do something on a larger scale, but it's not gonna be a build up from the net,but rather something that exists along side it.We live in the information age and soon enough the internet will be all there is. If I keep going at this rate, I'm pretty sure I'll leave more mark in the (virtual) world than most people upon my death

[@frankyang]

I sent you a private message. Oh and the comment I made about being psychotic was just a metaphor to tap into the unconscious. If you fall completely within the subconscious, you have a full blown psychosis. But if you flirt around the line, that's usually when you are the most creative. Adorno wrote about Schubert, how he was able to create his best works when he was experiencing NEAR-psychotic breaks, what he called the "Twilight of the mind".

[@frankyang]

yeah, basically you create reality with your mind and consciousness. The hardness of matter, different shades of colors, even music are "inventions" of the mind because these properties are intrinsic. No matter really knows what reality looks like apart from the perception of them that forms in the brain. Philosophers have been talking about this for a long time, starting with Kant's copernican revolution.

[@frankyang]

My entire life has been about expressing and keeping the Nietzsche's Dionysian/Schopenhauerian Will alive and authentic.KZbin is just another means that I use to channel this raw energy that most people like you suppress to a great degree...(fitness being another). I took the time to reply to such a retarded comment because I am genuinely trying to help you out. The other channels are there to psych you up physically, I'm here to crack open your skull. And boy do you need some mind-spanking.

[@frankyang]

Because I am not speaking to them. I am making a short gesture on the internet which I think can benefit them or others who are reading them in them. I've changed many minds this way and if anything, this is what this channel is about. (but not to always agree with me) In other words, the retarded comments are the most important ones to respond to.

[@frankyang]

Thanks man but there's not much hate going on brah. I think most people are starting to appreciate and understand what I'm trying to do. Which makes me very manic, in turn I will make more manic videos !

[@frankyang]

I agree. The right side of the brain is way overlooked. I think this is what this channel is about. Getting people to get in touch with the missing part...the more "natural" part.

[@frankyang]

You can use the music, but you just can't monetize the video. I haven't received a single strike for copyright issues yet, but have received many for the BBCs...

[@frankyang]

yeah but the Will is basically the same for both of them, a naturalistic, primitive creative force of life that can be channeled into the arts.

[@frankyang]

Yes I did in the streets of Taiwan, but I can't upload those footages at the moment because of my previous law suit on the Street Love video :(

[@frankyang]

I don't think the mind can be divided so neatly into categories.w

[@flexforall2]

Fuuuuuuuaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrk. I need to spend a week with you

[@frankyang]

I wrote an essay about him on my facebook

[@frankyang]

Thanks to Matt Ogus.

[@redline123]

Watching this again one year later and its still as aesthetic as fuck. Glad you brought it back man. PS: Can you bring back the video of you in high school bouncing various objects off your wall onto yourself? (The "my name is george... you have to be brave" video).

[@stuqua]

I did manage to set my front squat PR while working a 10-hour hard-labour nightshift in a factory and sleeping only 3-4 hours per day, but I didn't have any time for intellectual and creative things (or depression) and had to force-feed myself lots of constipating foods so that I could stay full and not have to use the filthy toilets at the work facilities!

[@D10H]

I've built my same gym with plates, bars, dumbells like those of your video. It's been 1 year now. I feel better in my own sanctuary. Thumbs up Frank! You motivate me to keep on building my body and my mind ( I'm a bachelor in pilosophy). You have my respect!

[@test7er]

I feel like when I spend a day socializing with people, my mind loses some of its magic. I feel like my thoughts become more grey and less abstract.

[@liweidai4474]

You're a fucking inspiring character. Recently I'm trying to get recovered from my both knees and left ankle injury. During these almost 18 months, sometimes I got very frustrated when I can't run or jump as I used to. Not even to mention improving my vertical. But as I'm trying to get recovered, I saw the lights, the hope to get back and get stronger and more athletic, you're definitely a motivation to me. Thanks, Frank Yang. though you might not notice my comment.

[@Drenizer]

As you began to speak about watching your self whilst high (with a video camera), I felt the blood vessels between by forehead and ear moving faster and faster, as this idea appealed to my curiosity. I kept feeling that same vein throughout the video, as each new observation and occurrence in the video became clear, I felt the blood flowing to my brain faster and slower. At this moment, I'm also high and can't wait to try your idea. I've always enjoyed observing my self when high.

[@lllogical]

Hey i took ur advice and started to record myself. At first I was afraid of looking at myself objectively and felt awkward as fuck. But after awhile I was able to gain good insight of myself through an different angle and got mind fucked in the process. Btw ur new videos make me think of a 70's porno scene, i think its the lighting and music.

[@11jupitercowboy8]

This is fantastic, Frizank. Good luck with the new gym! My life is all about solitary pursuits. When I workout at the gym, no matter how many people are there, I am alone, pursuing my own vision. When I am at the piano, or guitar, or singing, I am pursuing my own vision. When I am in front of this binary contraption, I am pursuing my quest for knowledge alone.

[@HoY1337]

just wanted to ask if anybody knows, i always wanted to make a youtube but i felt the ristrictions on using other music put me off, since music is a big part of alot of videos, youtube states you cant be a partner with unaccredited or music without permission, so how did frank get this song in there whilst being a partner and not get banned?

[@Drenizer]

You've I think once mentioned the idea of the world and us as subscribers being a part of your mind, and a reflection of your mind speaking to itself. Would you still behave like you describe in this video, if you truly believed ^ would you still not talk to nobodies? I still like your dedication to make videos.

[@RafaSB34]

All this bullshit hate, did anyone fuckin actually listen to what he was saying throughout the video... You're on the same state of mind as I am at the moment Frank, frankly this is the best video I've seen of you. Keep it up. All these haters were hearing, but not listening. Most of them are existing but not living.

[@StronglikeLion3]

'Fucking mind-fucker' should replace the expression mother-fucker. Being a mind-fucker as far more offensive. Nowadays when I watch Yang's videos, some parts I only see a BBC in flip-flops,trying to provoke me; I don't mind the image, but thinking of the intent arms my alpha-inclined mind for anti-penetrative battle.

[@CANAirforce]

I really connected with the philosophical musings on solitude and self-improvement, Nightcall is a great song, and the workout tripped me out (it actually felt like I was high). Frank Yang has reached a new pinnacle of mind-fucking prowess. Best video yet. (srs)

[@travmank4120]

What The Fuck did i just Stumble into, Probably AMAZINGNESS. I watched this video from start to finish and had to silence my phone cause someone called during the video and i rather keep watching this than answer the phone. Ok Well i gotta Missed Call so i gotta tend to that now....

[@drepwcfucka]

Schopenhauer said it so it must be true. Schopenhauer, like Socrates and every other great philosopher, is just a man. They might be great intellectuals but making your own philosophies on life will always be greater than following what others have already laid down.

[@95vinicn]

Knowledge its exponencial man. When I was finishing High School, a lot of friends doesn't knew what to do in their lives. My only advice was keep looking everything, because more you know, more things will be interesting for you.

[@Cetoke]

Frank, I love you, that's why I have a tip for you: (no mushroom-tip this time, sorry) wrap some cloth like sports tape around the dumbell handles, they tend to be quite rough and seem to never wear down.

[@mattwinstanley1980]

So glad I stumbled across you're channel frank. I am on a very similar path as yourself. I will say one thing though, that set of weights you bought with the spin locks will piss you off very quickly.

[@abcDiverBomb]

dude. i love you and shit. but dont spam this in every vid, you got alot more that this. i know. leet us know about "real" things, leet us think about your vid's, dont be so mean!

[@tagert24]

Holy fuck, for 7:00 onwards was beautiful. I liked that song when I first heard it in Drive, and it works so fucking well with those last clips. Mirin the downlighting

[@avalyn3]

thanks for this vid frank. recently ive been disconnecting a lot of relationships with people who i thought were holding me back. well, right now i dont really have a lot of friends and those left kept telling me im excluding myself from social activities too much and it made me feel bad and reconsider my actions. after seeing this vid i say fuck them, been using the xtra time for gym, uni studying and playing guitar. no regrets.

[@starplaya93]

Frank, Frank FRANK!!!! Listen to Lupe Fiasco "American Terrorist pt 3". Lupe raps over this instrumental and I think you'd really enjoy it.

[@FRANKORILLA]

aside from the youtube money, should really thank the parents, or parent, for giving you time and place to be aesthetic mentally and physically

[@Fido1488]

Nietzsche's and Schopenhauer's views of the will are different. Schopenhauer had a pessimistic, negative interpretation of the will, in contrast to Nietzsche, who had an optimistic, positive interpretation of the will.

At first I thought "wtf is this guy humbling about", but when I continued listening It was clear that he talks the truth, stop wasting your time with stupid people around you and use it more wisely.

[@soupofyou]

Hey Frank was there any reason why you didn't opt for an Olympic barbell rather than a standard? Also dat lighting/music wow.

[@thebahamiannightmare]

Frank you should do a transformation video id really like to see how creatively you would put something like that together.

[@shahmirboys]

Frank, what song is it? Also good video, I like how you make people think, we need more people like you in the world tbh

[@davidblue3358]

Dude the music rocks...the video is gay gay gay.....watchin a dude workout in his underwear...yeah that made me better

[@occoldjosh]

strange timing, Ive kind of just accepted solitude today. In for disregarding everything in order to acquire everything under the guidance of fronk.

[@basht1610]

I was gonna skip to the home gym part but then I got lost in the words and philosophy you're fueling me with.

[@GreasyGuerilla]

Cool vid man, I also have made a gym in my house. Your BB rows look really good in this vid compared to normal.

[@ivanrizal3581]

Off topic, but where do you get your haircuts? Haha or a better question is what do you tell the barber?

[@gvsk8er33]

Would love to hear you talk about music/ give some of your favorite songs for lifting or anything else!

[@Thaikuza]

I actuly posted something up about friends recently i'm suprised you talked about it , and it is really true about friends etc.

[@TheFBM2011]

Frank I don't know..but you got something similar from Elliott Hulse gotta keep listen to you man.

[@LeeFerikson]

frank you listen to classical and electrohouse, but what other kinds of music do you listen to?

[@LazyBoyee65]

what happened to going to taiwan to go to court/jail? looks like you're really settling down there

[@janfischer861]

Fronk, can you make a picture of yourself working out? I would love to use it as my wallpaper.

[@Musticargh]

Frank, I want to start reading philosophy. Can you recommend me any books to start off?

[@mrpancakes999]

This video truly inspired me and made me almost cry at then end. Thank you based Frank

[@matthiasdeo]

There exists no greater feeling than lifting in solitude, welcome to the club Fronk.

[@broshed]

hey frank what do you think about Jung's personality types, what type are you?

[@xDrikenx]

its asome how this guy doesnt give a fuck about what ppl think of him outside

[@tagert24]

Just thought of this video, and had to come and watch it again. Fucking incredible, my favorite Frank Yang video. The song along is a complete mindfuck, and gives you a thousand different thoughts and feelings at once, and then, there's the brilliantly shot neo noir workout footage aswell. Genuinely brilliant.

[@martinperez7738]

Frank, your my hero. Always watching your videos! Keep it up brother =]

[@GrahamCOD]

Frank do you ever smoke weed after a workout to increase your appetite ?

[@tonydc524]

Tell your girlfriend to make more of those bear shirt you are wearing.

[@dexistence19]

I love you... Also, what did he say? The comment has been deleted :/

[@FieldBoy111]

Hey Frank, were did you get the money for buying your home gym eqiuipment.?

[@dek094]

+1

[@bigbrown4114493]

His comment must've been pretty messed up for him to delete it lol

[@huelsiii]

hey fronk the last part is aesthetically very pleasing (no homo)

[@rpvirus]

This video is so relate-able to my current standing life as I grow older I feel more detached , unable to deal with friends/people or want to deal with then, just follow my own path. A less flexible mindset as my brain elasticity solidifies with age. But I understand this and will always stay humble and be forever a student.

[@MHall221]

The song is called Kavinsky - Nightcall watch?v=MV_3Dpw-BRY

[@MrCraaazzy]

Definitely somewhere in Asia, look at the writing on the truck

[@8blackorchid8]

Im sure this is the mindset many of historys great people had.

[@NeoBalkanacMan]

Hearing Nightcall was quite unexpected,really made my day. :)

[@hidreplitech]

Frank, where can i get one of those rabbit stuffed animals?

[@MartyTbear1203]

where the fuck is bbc though? gym should be a shrine to those

[@Iloveyoujingjinghuag]

Frank how would you describe your self perfectly in one word?

[@arjaytorres26ph]

the cheapest place to buy gym equipments are at the factory..

[@p1n0yXer]

2:25 is that an olympic bar? you handled that shit with ease

[@gochromeorgohome]

When do you get to work out with "SUPERMUTANT Rich Piana"?

[@oreo4president]

Why didn't you get a standard olympic set? Just curious

[@zetsuXitachi]

he said that in a quote? you can just say 'he said that...'. LOLOL

[@erikkk54]

I'm in the same situation , all I have to say is... wow.

[@pokemon123hehe12]

Frank is a contracter and a landlord. I am his relative

[@ikarus-k-nbkdnz]

I can't even tell you how much I love u Frank....

[@hatchergvd]

[@evanoliver6949]

[@franksbbc9047]

[@elovaughnelwell8980]

Thank you frank for more great insight. Keep it up.

[@Wingsfan7]

Very well spoken in the video Frank, I liked this.

[@Jordan2668]

[@nitnit182]

[@ninjayeahvideos]

[@flamefleir]

[@Fido1488]

[@peerspoomsangpoompong5948]
