Its really astonishing to me that a guy who usually gets potrayed as this kind of degenerate nerd streamer by the Twitch Community, is actually one of the mentally healthiest/smartest/most upright people Dr. K has ever interviewed. It shows in the way he speaks and Alok recognized that from the first minute on (look at the way he smiles when Asmon is talking)!

@@ChairmanMeow1 don't lose hope. There's lots you can do to help yourself, and as the guy Good Luck said, whenever you hear questions in videos like this. Hit paus. Think. Give yourself time to answer the question for yourself. Revelations about yourself might happen from doing that. Something else which could potentially help you help yourself as well, is begin reading about all things psychology. Sometimes we discover things about ourselves from being curious about better understanding how other people function, and why they might be the way they are, and do the things that they do. I can't help you fix whatever is wrong in your life, but, if you feel you are in need of someone listening? Someone to tell whatever it is that is weighing heavy on you?

[@JokerInk-CustomBuilds]

I have spend the past 25 yrs with the mindset of trying everything atleast once. I basicly wan't to taste everything life has to offer that I am curious about before it is over. I love music and being social and laughing with friends and also strangers so I was instantly attracted to music festivals. I have been to dozens of weeklong festivals and seen hundreds and hundreds of concerts. All in som varying degree of intoxication and euphoria. There is SO much I don't remember, but also SO much I do... Some things I know I have done, but I won't remember when or where. Other things I remember when and where but not with who or how I got there. Some thing are decades old but clear as yesterday and other things I only remember when someone I barely remember tells about me doing it. Life and memory is random. But it is being kept alive by remembering and talking about the experiences with friends and strangers. I allways tell stories of where I've been, what I've tried or seen or learned. Iand I love hereing stories from others because it reminds me of similar experiences of my own. Thats my BrainVlog. -Because I am too caught up in the moment to remember being my own cameraman...

[@m4r1o148]

A very beautiful thing to do for yourself and your loved ones, but I feel it's something you need to keep in check. Being focused on capturing a moment can easily distract from living it. I'm sure you're aware, I'm just speaking from experience.

[@PatRiot-]

It’s important to preserve those moments but I think the real point is to truly enjoy them as they happen. Reliving them later is amazing…but obviously humans were never supposed to be able to relive an experience or time. The fact we can may or may not be a good thing.

[@somecumbucket4768]

I love that not only do you learn about your favorite streamers' mind and mentality. You also learn a lot about yourself and acknowledge your weaknesses and the way your own mind works separately from your personal thoughts.

[@psd90]

Can you elaborate how it works separately? I feel as though that separation cannot progress you towards a moment of enlightenment as it requires every part of you to be in that moment. Am I wrong?

[@Jonsoner]

@@psd90 The way I see it, there is the way you think, and the way you think you think. The more in tune you are with the reality of your way of thinking (let's use the video terminology, the roots of the problems) the more you can consciously be aware of the way you function. The more aware you are in the way you function allows you to take actions on the branches or even the roots and work towards being the desired you. For example, I feel really in tune with Asmon with the way that laziness gives way to efficiency and a lack of future thinking. So, I am PERFECTLY happy just eating pasta and red sauce everyday for the rest of my life. I don't really have this need that people have to eat healthy or just good food when I can be "lazy", eat whatever and not spend an hour of my day cooking/eating and play vidyas or read or whatever. So, being aware of this (and due to a roommate that believes that living like this is a travesty) I had a "moment of enlightenment", watched a bunch of youtube cooking videos like Internet Shaquile, Babish, and random shit and now I try to make simple but tasty meals. I get a sense of satisfaction of making something good, of having my roommate try something of mine, getting feedback, sharing a meal, inviting people to eat, etc. This has given me constant positive feelings and improved my life. Now I'm working on another branch which is making healthier food, to eventually make some changes in the root problem of my life which would be laziness and procrastination as conformism. In short, you can't force yourself to a moment of enlightenment. But you can alter a little tiny bit the way you think, to foster their occurrence more. AND then making sure you don't use them as an excuse for reverting back those changes (I'm cooking better know, today I just wanna eat whatever, and the next day as well, and the next next next) All of this takes conscious effort, and that's why I like the meditation technique Dr. K gave Asmon. To stop once in a while and reevaluate. This is the end of my TED talk, have a nice day. I'mma make some vegetarian burritos.

[@somecumbucket4768]

@@Jonsoner ah lol. well I must say that the speech was fascinating and a look into what I said or a..interpretation might I say, which is kinda accurate of my belief in how the mind works. but what I meant is that that you wouldn't necessarily get frightened by a lion for example if you think that you're not and you believe it to be true. but the mind thinks otherwise once you experience being in front of a lion so... in a sense you can make yourself look delusional by thinking over your personal thoughts when in reality the mind functions on it's own taking what it knows from your experiences with certain things deciding what your natural thoughts will be. A homophobic person doesn't necessarily hate gay men because he thinks it is weird, sometimes his mindset is naturally that way. So you could sit in your room thinking that you know yourself well but then when you're watching a dr. K video with another streamer talking about mental issues you might relate to or mental issues in general you get a stronger connection with your automatically thinking and organizing mind because you start changing they way you think personally and seeing what you thought was non existent inside you. sorry if I used a lot of words over and over again, my vocabulary isn't of the finest.

[@Keemin]

Wow. THIS is peak HealthyGamerGG content. I feel like Dr K gets to really flex his muscles as an intellectual, therapist, and meditation teacher when paired with someone like Asmongold, who can actually keep up with what Dr K sometimes struggles to verbally communicate (due to the topics often being pretty hard to wrap your head around). Honestly I feel like they were on such a good wavelength together I could see them starting a recurring podcast together. I'd sure as hell tune in.

many people have probably thought of this but the only one i know of is Mark Twain who has the famous quote "I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it." Another quote from him that i think suits this interview well is "The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time. " Asmond seems to believe this, but then because of it he concludes "damn, i must not be living fully!" and it's giving him stress.

@@isaiahdawkins5090 That's the bit, Isaiah. Dying is an experience we'll all have but death, actually *being dead*, isn't a 'thing' and therefore can't be experienced.

@@adjbea4829 It is really quite funny that you say that because you can apply that same logic to other groups but then you would immediately be called the worst things under the sun. Grow up and realize that just like most groups you only really hear the vocal minority so painting vast amounts of people with generalizing strokes is intellectually lazy because its that same mentality that allows peoples to use those "frequently exhibited behaviours" to be racist.

[@rainlakuma6443]

Adj Bea Arriving at that conclusion is quite lazy and an overly simplified generalization. There are religious people who are close minded but there are close minded non-theists as well who are the inversed equivalent of their theist counterparts. You can’t judge an entire religion or group of people based on the radicals within said group. That’s like saying “black people are more inherently violent and genetically predisposed to committing crime. It’s frequently exhibited so I can conclude that they are more dangerous”. It’s incredibly ignorant to arrive at such short sighted conclusions like this without considering the external factors that contextualize the causation of said behaviour. Poverty, Economic, Social and political environments, lack of education or proper leadership, lack of health resources and support are the reason people are violent, not the colour of their skin or their religious beliefs. People who have experienced trauma or mental illness are far more susceptible to manipulation tactics and becoming the victim of cults or other predatory groups of people. Religion can be used for good or nefarious means, it really just depends how these people were indoctrinated growing up. It’s important to understand the good that has come from religion and how it’s helped people find the hope and reason to persist through life. It’s also equally important to recognize the flaws, primitive nature and atrocities that have been committed in the name of it. Recognize that religion doesn’t inherently create bad people, bad people just tend to use religion as an easy shield to justify their immoral behaviour. More often than not, these radicals are the very antithesis of the actual teachings and ideology that hail from the religious doctrine they claim to believe and live their lives in the name of.

[@rainlakuma6443]

Nick G Exactly! I really dislike that my comment praising Asmon for being a deep thinker and being an overall great human being has devolved into people bashing religion. It’s incredibly sad that these people are completely oblivious to the reality that they are the very embodiment of the same principles that they judge and hate in others.

The way he describes his fear of dying is identical to mine and I don't know if I've heard someone else explain it the same as he has and it is so relatable. My existential dread holds my happiness back because it is always just below the surface of my mind and I can lay and bed and really panick.

Hearing Asmongold's story just hits too close to home. I have a similar background, but I grew up in Germany and actually in the richer parts of Germany too, but me and my family were actually on the poor end compared to almost all of my classmates in school. Sometimes it was just soul crushing for me when I heard from my parents how other parents viewed them and talked behind their backs about them, when I couldn't take the school trip, or we financially struggled after paying for a school trip. And then hearing other parents say that my parents were just being irresponsible with money or downright stupid while I was there watching my parents giving their all to give me a better shot at life just made me angry af.
