Be skeptical of those who try to force objectivity upon you
I was smoking while watching this :/
@Imadeyalook that is true but its hard to argue.
I like how you laugh at the end because you’re telling us who we are, lol
“You can only be loved for who you truly are”. I strongly disagree; one can have unconditional love for another human because we empathize, and we know they exist. We know everyone has their troubles, and needs support. We can love despite identity. Truly love, at that.
I don’t really think any identity ISN’T false.
because he may be smarter than u and i, doesn’t mean he’s entirely correct… nor should we take his words unexamined.
Well said. garethac81 has no response. I think you put it better than anyone else on the comments, and your perspective should be considered by stefbot. They don’t know what they don’t know… so I don’t think they should try to talk down on something that they don’t know about. Weed is a gift from the earth – take advantage. (if people choose not to, it’s their loss – more for the rest of us)
It would really be funny if police came up to you like your buddy and were themselves a nice guy. “I’m sorry about this, bud but you really shouldn’t be speeding”
If they were like that, I wouldn’t have to be all “yes sir, officer, sir”. LOL
I understand your logic, and don’t see why someone has voted you -1. I will +1 to counter the vote… “and have a nice day”
Letting down your guard is hard in the complicated society that we now live in. If you were to experience the world 15-20 years ago, you might be able to integrate a little easier.. however, you might just end up falling into one of the handful of other groups available at that time… perhaps punk (the misfits of that day) would have worked out for ya
Well said.. this seems to be on the right track (y) +1
Hi, I was reading your exchange with selfminus1 and it seems s/he has no idea what s/he is talking about.
if a person won the gold medal in olympic mens figure skating, then THAT is what he is.
We define ourselves based on our interactions with society. Without the reflection of others, our security in what we perceive ourselves to be does not exist. Thats why we are drawn to look ourselves in the mirror at least from time to time.
He makes some sense in some ways… gotta take the words of another man with a grain of salt. You know what they say about free advice?
Amazing that you have brought this into the light and you received no support, yet -2 votes plus a comment from a moron.
Congratulations, you are of the few xD
yes, agreed, such as this man who is doing a video to teach other men on the meaning of life.
Sorry, but he is misleading the youth of tomorrow. I could be his antithesis, and am pleased to say that I am happy in being a seeker… When I am fulfilled, I set out to find new meaning to synthesize to the old. For us to stop seeking would create a monopoly for those who have already attained enlightenment to enslave those who gave up searching. VIEWERS PLEASE CONTINUE YOUR QUEST FOR MEANING.
i think he tells his opinion too well…
he makes sense sometimes, but I don’t agree with him completely.
kids, don’t use drugs. but identity is not an illusion. doctors, police, judges all have an identity to uphold and that is an identity of authority. without that illusion, they would not have enough esteem to do their jobs and demand the respect of all us defiant people in this “free” society.
I beg your mercy as the *devils advocate* xD
Agreed. I know marijuana users who actually get switched on from the drug vs. getting lazy.
I understand your disdain for Catholicism, but not all religions are the same. There is a place for religion in life – this is why there has been religions even before Christianity.
it is like you’re in my head, speaking my thoughts.
thank you
BRILLIANT!
stephan is a punk rocker. this is one of the better video’s on youtube.
Social metaphysics of other peoples’ preferences and desires = school & parenting
Lol Stef, I love the little laughing fit at the end of your video.
Great stuff Stephan. One of the great thinkers of our time.
