The reason I sometimes envy stupid people is because they do not have the capacity to think thoughts like these and mindfuck themselves.

[@EricLeePiano]

i woke up pondering this and came upon his video. fronk you read my mind

[@zxaviusLOL]

Having an illusion is in itself a illusion

[@jbc365gym]

Amazing experience watching the whole video in both languages not knowing the chinese

[@TomHodgson5]

Frank you talk how I think. Can't stop watching your videos now!

[@EricLeePiano]

this is one of your best videos frank. is there a branch of philosophy that i could read more about this? nihilism?

[@alexortiz1742]

Alber Camus existentialism/ the absurd

[@itsguilherme]

Sometimes I think you read so much Kierkegaard, Sarte, Camus, etc. You should exhile for a while and try to enjoy nature and meaningless existence.

[@Duck72432]

Thoughts on this video now frank?

[@cloudryder3497]

Frank f****** gets me man

[@CAKESTAR]

chin up frankie. "There probably isn't any meaning in life. Perhaps you can find something interesting to do while you are alive." to me, life is all about enjoying your time here, if you are not enjoying yourself, you're doing it wrong.

[@dannyzee4]

Haha, the English swear words in the Chinese part

[@UnorthodoxWarfare]

...damn

[@prize281]

The more you know, the more you know, that you dont know

[@realcoleworld]

Fronk Yong bringing the knowledge.

[@Efrankss]

U exist for duh survival and duh moonaye, duh fri rye n duh samurai honour Don't kirr urself young big boi

[@0011usagi]

You have acquired great freedom in your tiny shell, you need to expand your horizons now

[@drepwcfucka]

nice

[@millerfour2071]

"conscience does make cowards of us all" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_be,_or_not_to_be#Text

[@STARNPRODUCTIONS]

hard work does eventually pay off. not only in society, education, the workplace, and relationships, but also by personal health. physical of course, more obvious, diet, rest, exercise. mental; word puzzles, basic and complex learning, etc. But then there's the least obvious. emotional/spiritual very much part of the mental. which i see as the individual that the person is aka the spirit. emotional learning, life's experiences, God/Jesus/universe, morals, virtues.

[@ahhhh01]

why did I sub to you?

[@STARNPRODUCTIONS]

Then i see that there can be a connection between the physical, mental, and spiritual health. positive attitude = attracting positive vibes/prayer/meditation = time learned habit/gift/hard work of discipline to calm the self/mind/spirit. calm and clear mind = better concentration, contributing to a healthier body. Also think of the practice of preservation and cultivation of energy. We are vessels of light, and one may even see the benefit of hard work such as refrain from masturbation or sex.

[@ProdigalSonAD70]

Thats why Allan watts stated "The reason for life is to be alive. it's so simple and so oblivious. Yet everyone runs around in a great panic as if it was necessary to achieve something beyond themselves". Life...so paradoxical and ironic. Quite the enigma...but still...Fuck this bull shit call life!

[@1crazyirish]

FRANK!!! GET OUT OF THE CITY, AND WALK THROUGH THE FOREST!!!

[@jamends1220]

"Got to speak to my Chinese audience."

[@alen-commentnazi8774]

Lolol

[@MattMac21]

@Bryan Blears that is just fucking awesome, Brian. Pure awesome!

[@CannabisUseOnly]

Frank I swear you just echoed my thoughts on life there. Although I do find a reason to live, the reason I live is meaningless and so is everyone else's. So basically, live for yourself and do whatever the fuck you wanna do.

[@11jupitercowboy8]

Man, I think I fucking love you. Ha.

[@RichyKwan]

I wish my chinese was a fluent as yours still.

[@tooshortboi1]

and the repetitiveness of life will grow worse as we age.

[@vladikun]

That stache.

[@EmmanuelRamone]

I have never related so much to a comment as I do right now.

[@Kratonos]

Your lack of Heidegger disturbs me.

[@fangolden]

Hey man, can we had a philosophical debate on person? cause i can overthrow the thoughts you spoke here, and maybe both of us will enter another state of existence after we debate. i know you're sick of this SSDD, just come a debate with me, i'll make sure you will feel different after.

[@bababasri3]

Too much nihilism lol

[@eagleye44]

Durian Rider lol

[@sarifarsitv4974]

hahaha 7:39 tcha tcha cha chaooooo

[@KellyKorean]

LMAOOOOOOO

[@Edin735]

Frank, I honestly think humans almost require God for life to have any meaning. Anything other than God is just pointless.

[@asura8495]

Edin735 Still believing in fairy tales? Santa clause and the easter bunny as well?

[@bigrobfitness7953]

I somewhat agree. So you either try and brainwash yourself into believing in a god, or you live a knowingly inherently meaningless existence.

[@vihodanyet]

I’m starting to seriously consider religion too. I’ve never bought into it and frankly the counter argument is too convincing to me but the counter is such an empty existence that doesn’t go away

[@9000andOver]

你上那个学校？？

[@ShibbiZeBeast808]

"in before"

[@TrojanZorse]

Should have just taken the blue pill, ignorance is bliss.

[@valflyinf]

This whole rant makes it sound like frong has never heard of mathematics. If he had, he would know how to "not play the game", but then again frong is the most dangerous troll of Asia so ya..

[@paymon11]

I am under the assumption that you have at least once gone through a psychedelic trip. On the off chance that you have not... just do it.

[@GilBatesLovesyou]

The state forced me to go to school Frank. :/

[@sameeehh]

This is what happens when you diss monks. acquire knowledge .,,

[@FRANKORILLA]

all i hear from you is "yeh huh burgers burgers fries fat shit whaaaa"

[@Sw3gg4]

Oh wow you have found a spelling mistake! Congratulation. I really respect you now.

[@roymarshall_]

存在?

[@2vman19]

frank is very observant of the physical way of things in general, especially human habits and he's very accurate, but he skips over the spiritual often times.

[@MrHyjac]

dont you like some of those repetitive things? sex? falling in love? laughing? seeing beautiful things or sights? cinematography? the violin? photography? PEEING!? no but dont you like some of those things ?

[@nicolastqy]

superb chinese =) well said...

[@TeChNoSiX]

you're*

[@XxSaxCannon921xX]

heh

[@Kry1212]

Chinese dont have an own word for existance?

[@Kry1212]

Ping pong potato

[@jhw406]

Dude, your theroy on the meaning of existence is centuries old, like Darwin old. Evolution is not exactly one dimensional as explained by Darwin through the perspectives of Evolutionary Biologists but rather through a combination of genetics/epigenetics/developmental/societal effects. You need to keep up to date with these knowledge man, this, coming from a 16 years old.

[@davidn4303]

You know your genes get passed on if you cousins and other family have kids anyways. You dont have to have kids. My cousins kids are older than me and have kids. I dont have to lol

[@cultivatelife]

Brah, 你瘋了嗎？

[@crypt0cracy748]

Kinda hard dropping out of school when you're Asian with Asian parents lmao. Frank would know, but seems like his parents are chill and let him do whatever the fuck he wants.

[@ronniewoodill9650]

Hid father left at a young age.. Grew up with his mother and younger brother.

[@Jesus-rq1rh]

Ronnie Woodill Frank's dad apears in some videos, he has aids

[@dannyzee4]

Be homeless

[@emperormike]

1st step, Stop brushing your teeth.

[@i69edurmum]

That made me cringe.

[@Stinkyremy]

buddhas teaching....

[@Dmonsterus]

Dude u loosing it man , that is just the way things are u just have to live with it, everyone must fine there purpose in life but never give up

[@Ilovetoskate757]

Can you grow a wizard beard?

[@frankyang]

I'm totally cool with the meaningless of existence. I'm happier with the fact that life is stupid

[@e00d20]

do you feel the same after 8 years of posting this video?

[@trackpad8522]

^

[@FrogChoir]

A very underrated video in the Frank Yang catalogue.

[@HiNeighbor21]

Frank speaking in chinese more intense

[@SouthernSpeedVideos]

just gotta find something that you enjoy to distract you till your time is up. you dont HAVE to do all the bullshit you just said.. you do it because you WANT to live a certain way,... unfortunately "society" has made us work hard for shit we dont really NEED and we cant take with us when we die. were slaves to society... just the way it is.

[@r1cburton]

How far you’ve come ❤

[@wahibdrief8294]

Before enlightenment 😂😂😂

[@mcknikker]

Nice!❤

[@roymarshall_]

Holy shit Frank this is all I've been thinking about ALL SUMMER I love you right now man, just for being another voice to help me out in figuring this shit out.

[@Suzisart]

Look at his incredible transformation now 9 years on,it's a completely different man,💕

[@bk13na]

epic epic comment

[@Gillyske]

he's not depressed, he's just realistic. I think it would be fair to call Frank an existentialist.

[@clvnblnkee]

Why didn't you just add subtitled instead of doing half a video of English and another half of Mandarin LOL trolll

[@NeonPeppers]

DUDE! If you believe your life is to repetitive then do some new shit! Think outside the BOX! You and only you have the power to change this shit, go out and take more risks control your LIFE dont let life control YOU! Have fun.

[@MagicalHax0r]

meditate bro since everything you do is essentially nothing, or at least the this percetion you truly acknowledge in this video, then why don't you meditate no reason not to, ease yourself with these illusions

[@BIGJAC2699]

You brush your teeth, so to prevent halitosis, cavities, gum disease, etc.. You blink, in order to keep your eyes moist... There is a reason for doing these things.. Yes, it get monotonous, but that's just how it is.

[@UFG8tersKJ317]

Frank Yang you are a beast my friend in all aspects!

[@mikamax1996]

Why When someone is speaking chinese it's like he is repeting the same words -__- it's like the hardest language .

[@oskerwyld]

That was some deep discourse. Thanks.

[@Tedaus20]

I think life is about experience, and then you die.

[@STARNPRODUCTIONS]

then i see the combinations as being very important tools to improving oneself on a personal level to then make a greater impact on the external levels of improving oneself, bodily, to societal, and relationships.

[@Suzisart]

Bingo💫🌟

[@ApexNights]

my one answer to you? music. music music music. music should be a fucking religion

[@NewYorkFreeman]

Are you an atheist, Frank? Judging by what you say, I would assume you are one.

[@estewar03]

Watch the chinese part with subtitles on, the subtitles are NEVER even close...

[@mesquitadrox]

Study and then free your mind. Numbers are the essence of life. (So is weed).

[@silverblaze2012]

I think he's on his period. Don't worry bro nothing a few drinks can't fix.

[@kevalevaloo3363]

all the mysteries in the world have not been reduced into 1s and 0s

[@clvnblnkee]

Did you not watch the video?

[@mattrkelly]

sounds like a perfect avatar of dissatisfaction! no wonder you went on to do buddhism...

[@stuqua]

If you're sure life has meaning, you become cautious and calculating on behalf of distant objectives that have no lasting significance. You become constricted and deprived. If you're sure life has no meaning, you passively permit yourself to wither and rot. If you're not sure if you can make a heavy deadlift without injury, but feel reckless and self-destructive (while secretly still caring at a dimly conscious level), you are sure to have a surge of vital energy and to make the lift.

[@352dailygaming]

+1 +1

[@fookinkont]

is this why having babies is selfish

[@TypicallyUniqueOfficial]

The direct proof of this allusion being your need for purpose, but when you die...this will cease as your human form is filled with desires and fears to keep you motivated/programmed to succeed.

[@oostenmusic]

the answer is to become ethereal

[@ryydii]

hey frank grow a mustache breh

[@flabbywalrus]

ITT: frank becomes a teenager

[@whiteboie79]

you should have posted (srs)

[@2davivadiva]

Why can't the higher power just be yourself? Why does it have to be Jesus? Jesus was just a man. And when these Abrahamic religions came along they changed the power from within to power without. So now people feeling incapable reach out to someone (something) else for the strength that's already w/in them

[@Greyfox404]

I watch the Chinese part
