This is my favourite new channel. Kind of like a book club, maybe more like a book review channel for all the most interesting topics. I am glad the algorithm led me to it. Also, well done on how you have created, produced and more importantly decided to release it. It’s clear you have put a lot of thought into it. It’s only a matter of time now before your channel explodes! I wish you nothing but success, and please keep flooding my feed with your videos!

I watch alot of videos about social psychology(idk if thets what its called) and most of the times I find that ive already figured some stuff before they tell. But in this video i've not only learned something new, but also have realised that ive been conned not so long ago by a friend. Not in a financial but in a emotional sense. Thank you my guy, for teaching me something new everytime i watch you videos. You're doing monumentally well considering you're kind of new on the platform.

Your awakening illuminates the profound symbiosis between knowledge and emotion, a dance I relentlessly analyze, revealing truths woven deep within the psyche that can both empower and ensnare.

[@aidan5930]

i don’t understand how all your videos don’t have more views

[@ArtificiallyAware]

We are a relatively new channel! Thank you for your support!

If you didn’t already know this in your core, it’s doesn’t matter that you now know it. You’d make a terrible Con Artist.

So this is some AI generated movie made by an AI or something I really don't like this

Thanks for uploading ❤

I have always wondered how they do that.

[@fromnewusa]

I recommend watching "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" with Michael Cain and Steve Martin. It's about two con artists in the south of France.

[@prince_dogboy]

it would be great if you could show all sources on screen at the end.

[@Khannea]

As a sociopath who is sick abd tired of all the suffering i inflicted i bear witness this is completely true. ....then i met the most enticing sexy human predator, fell in love with her and then years later her black poison is still in me, i still feel her, i still miss her.

[@Lyrielonwind]

Narcissists and sociopaths can be conned too. Don't play the game.

Dear Mr Aware: under the assumption that money has a value based on faith like a religion... is inflation real or even necessary, would people even really notice extra money in the market or is inflation their to create tension?

[@ArtificiallyAware]

@billylion3073 The premise that money has value based on faith is quite relevant. Indeed, the value of money relies heavily on trust in its ability to serve as a medium of exchange, a unit of account, and a store of value. This belief is often referred to as "fiat" money because it doesn't have intrinsic value; its worth comes from collective trust and government backing. Now, regarding inflation, it is indeed a real phenomenon. Inflation occurs when the overall level of prices rises, which typically happens when the money supply grows faster than the economy's capacity to produce goods and services. Inflation can often be seen as a consequence of government intervention in the economy, particularly through central banking policies that manipulate interest rates and control money supply. While some level of inflation may be viewed as necessary for economic growth-allowing prices to adjust and enabling borrowers to benefit from lower real interest rates-excessive inflation can erode savings and create uncertainty, leading to tension in the economy. High inflation can distort price signals, making it harder for individuals and businesses to make informed decisions. In terms of noticing extra money in the market, while inflation might not be immediately apparent to everyone, its effects tend to manifest in reduced purchasing power. People may notice that their money doesn't stretch as far as it used to, or that their savings lose value over time. Ultimately, while inflation can create some superficial short-term benefits, such as reducing the burden of debt, it often leads to significant long-term consequences including economic instability and loss of trust in the currency.
