I am 83 years old. The older I get, the lesser I know, and the less I know who I am. Thanks for an interesting video.

[@nancyneyedly4587]

18:52 Was this shot chosen specifically for it's symbolism given what you were talking about around this part of the video? It looks very much like "not going with the usual crowd/going against the grain/forging your own path/not being a zombie" foiling what you were saying. It struck me that way.

[@TurdBugler]

I always love hearing your thoughts, theories and perspectives. They’re definitely different and I never hear the type of thoughts you have else where. I’ve been watching you from your first KZbin video and you’re always very interesting. Keep it up man!

[@SHERULESTHEWAVES]

The more I learn, the more certain I become that I know from everything about anything.

[@scrumtios0]

I love the way you think. To me that’s freedom

[@dansharpie]

evil wins when good does nothing, we know love wins in the end, so be good, copy someone good, if you want to fly like an eagle don't hang around with turkey's.

[@fredrikjensen1]

I agree. That was definitely NOT a lion statue 😂

[@The6zero4]

western civilization is in decline. the Greeks were preoccupied with what constituted the “good life” and the entire society was interested in the dialogue that centred on the Good. when was the last time you ever heard anyone speak about good life that isn’t about money, possessions and enjoyment?

[@Dylanmagaster.]

Yes. We need more public leaders speaking on virtue. Instead we have leaders that scam those they “serve”

[@RandomTuber782]

I don't think the "good life" should involve socially accepted slavery and pedophilia. But yeah here's to the good old days or whatever.

[@Dylanmagaster.]

Slavery is bigger now than ever. And no one is defending pedophiles. Congrats on being a smooth brain.

[@Dylanmagaster.]

Also, the modern world is run by pedos… so I don’t know why you’re acting like modern society has moved past either of those things.

[@RandomTuber782]

@@Dylanmagaster. You're clearly light years ahead of me. Not a single logical fallacy insight.

[@RandomTuber782]

You may want to avoid investing in beliefs that were shared by Nazis. It's all fun and games looking for some ancient 'master' civilization. Eventually you will run into somebody who uses this belief to justify one group of people being better or more deserving than others. The people who popularized this branch of pseudo history were very unsavory to say the least. I highly suggest checking out miniminuteman. I also wouldn't look to the Greeks as any sort of Pinnacle of morality. Any amount of time looking into Greece will show you plenty of debauchery. Openly accepted pedophilia and slavery weren't exactly peak society.

[@Dylanmagaster.]

Amazing. I say maybe there are lies in history and you immediately compare me to Nazis… 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 bravo. not all are capable of free thought.

[@RandomTuber782]

@@Dylanmagaster. Sharing a belief system with Nazis is not calling you a Nazi. You've really just shown your capacity for critical thinking. Anyway my advice still stands please be careful.

[@Dylanmagaster.]

Except instead of addressing my main point which is the architecture your point is “be careful you might become a Nazi.” First off, I never said anything about a “master” civilization. Second, you associated my ideas with the group that modern society equates to pure evil and insinuated that unless I fully believe the mainstream narrative I will be promoting genocide. So it’s a fear mongering argument instead of addressing what I was talking about which is the architecture. Third, what other people use beliefs to justify has no relation on what is or isn’t true. So again you’re argument is fear mongering, calling it “pseudo history”, and then you went to two horrible things slavery and pedos which STILL EXIST btw. And aren’t things that I defend or promote. So you associate and conflate my argument which is that the history we taught might not be accurate, with Nazis, slave owners and pedos… 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 you didn’t address anything I said you just associated it with evil shit.

A bit disturbing this time while feeling genuine concern for you. The tone noticeably changed in this vid especially! Remembering the Joy younger Dylan had hanging off the van and likewise when you first got the boat Maybe make the next adventure back into society as it is but to join a community group of good influences within a small remote City that ticks many boxes for you personally? Re-integrate for a while, living simply and working something reasonably enjoyable? Just for that social experience? To balance yourself for a moment? Or both by mooring your ship somewhere for a year? Anyway who am I to say since I only get to see a few clips of your life. It's great to again see and think along with your recent videos after your little break 🤙
