Can a fake belief give you real strength? Yes. I present to you the pretend pain paradox. I hope it causes you to live more skillfully.
Since this psychological thought experiment is unfalsifiable, it has haunted me ever since it first entered my little brain all those years back. On the plus side, it has caused me to make the hard choice in many scenarios where I would've otherwise chosen to be a crybaby or exaggerate my suffering.

The journey IS the destination.
'When you interject something as duplicitous as faith and then uncritically assert faith to be the greatest things that this universe has ever apparently produced, your goodness no longer needs to be doubted. Your arrogance is laid bare and it is on full display as you go about egregiously commandeering life in this universe to do your bidding. Is there a higher weaver who has commandeered you and your kind? Is that what this is about? You're just paying it down? When you look down and revel in the progress that your vanity project has accomplished, do you ever take time to look up and ask for forgiveness? I'm sorry...you're what? What was that? You're "the alpha and the omega"!? Oh. Ok. Of what? Of Our bubble universe maybe? My friend, I saw your unease when I asked if you had ever ask for forgiveness. You need to put your cards on the table: you're a full-on atheist...are you not? So now we've arrived at a point that it's probably best to start planing for some changes. Big changes in fact.'
I died got revived. You will not remember jack! Piece of cake easiest thing you will ever do!
me asking what the meaning of life is to god when i die:
I think...
this is a perfect video
Why am I? Well I think...
"Are you intelligent? ... yes ... Are you outside the laws of physics? No. Then the laws of physics are intelligent." That was a master stroke. This is excellent reasoning.
𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳, 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘥, 𝘪𝘴: 𝘍𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦 𝘎𝘰𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴, 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘢𝘯. -Ecclesiastes 12:13. This was relevant in the garden and it will be relevant no matter how far in the future you go. But why? What is our purpose? Let's reform that question to "Why did God create us?" Did he create us to worship him? Did God need worshippers? Obviously not. Did God need someone to follow his commandments? Again, that's meaningless. So the real question is, Why does God want 𝘶𝘴 to worship him and obey his commandments? First, Why does God want us to obey his commandments? Because no one knows better what is good for us than our Creator. Therefore, we will have what is good for us and makes us happy if we keep his commandments. (What those commandments are is a different discussion.) So why does God want us to worship him? First, this goes back to the question of why he created us. He created us that he might have a relationship with us. Thus, this is 𝘰𝘶𝘳 purpose, to have a relationship with God. This, then, answers our earlier question of why we exist. But it does not yet answer the question of Why does our relationship with him need to be so intense? This, now, goes to our earlier question about obeying his commandments and the answer being that it is good for us and our happiness. But to do this we need to overcome our animal natures that lead us to sin because we are only flesh. To do that, our desire to obey those commandments must be intense. Therefore, to obey his commandments, we must have an intense love for the one who gave those commandments to us. Thus, worship of God benefits us by giving us the power and will to obey his commandments that are good for us and our happiness. Thus, our deepest inner happiness depends upon worshipping God and keeping his commandments. Anyone who claims to worship God, but does not work to keep his commandments, is not actually worshipping him, has no relationship with him and therefore fail to be happy in any meaningful way. Our purpose, then, the purpose for which God created us, in simplest terms, is to love God and be happy. For God 𝘪𝘴 love and 𝘪𝘴 the happy God. Of course, “𝘈 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘯 𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩; 𝘛𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘥.” (Proverbs 22:1) So what is the name God chose for himself? “𝘑𝘦𝘩𝘰𝘷𝘢𝘩 ... 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘺 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.”-Exodus 3:15. Anyone who knows these things and remembers them to others will be known for their wisdom.
Got a bunch of these to catch up on love these vids 🙏
Angelo :) This is the first time I react by commenting . Thank yo for your message mine is trust life. All of life’s knowledge is already in you, the connection with the universe is manifested in you.
It’s completely nuts to me how this can have 170 likes and ten comments. Mixing this level of poetic phrasing and genius reasoning is beyond impressive to me.
I don't fear death, I fear pain. At 74, I've experienced enough of life to feel that if it ended today, I wouldn't feel cheated in any way. I've known people who have died in their sleep, died from violence and died in agony. Respect for those who fight life threatening illnesses but that's not me. Dying suddenly, without pain and suffering would be the best way for me to go.
And of course Angelo uses the meme guy to illustrate such a topic🙌
I've noticed they've stopped saying Alpha male
I was very happy to see Dr. Hoffman in your description. The whole video seemed to echo his ideas (along with others, obviously). Well done.
I cant tell you how many times I have watch this over and over!
What a Goated Recommendation Man ❤
I disagree on your interpretation of the absurd, at least how I understand it. Tapestry is equal to the absurd and we do experience it. Hell, I could maybe agree that absurd is the negative of the trapestry, as there are negatives of film pictures. If you were to produce a picture from a film, you need its negative. The absurd is not the enemy, nihilism is.
AHHHHHHHHHH!!! JUST STOP ASKING QUESTIONS!!!
Damn...
I believe everything understands it will die. Plants and animals included.
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional
We are unlimited awareness having a physical time space limited awareness via mind. We just need to surrender ego and remember we are God.

Man shut up
That's that.
Life is the great indulgence. Death, the great abstinence. Therefore, make the most of life, here and now.
I feel like I’m supposed to worry about dying more. Statistically speaking I have maybe 20 years left, but dread still hasn’t kicked in. I never cared about losing hair or getting old people aches. Never fought it. Just rode the slide where it took me.
Well, my subscribe was obviously warranted
I'm not afraid of death, I just enjoy living and wish it not to end.
well at least you're making me cope a little better

This view has similarities with pantheistic ideas, where the Universe itself is the ultimate reality. A key element is the belief in the immanent value of existence, in the meaningfulness of life as such. It is important to emphasize that the author does not offer proof of the existence of a higher meaning. He offers a perspective, a way of seeing the world, which can help to cope with existential anxiety and find a sense of meaningfulness. Unfortunately, I didn't get anything useful about the meaning of existence from this video. I'm cooked...
You lost me at assumption that the laws of physics require a creator or cause. Existence is just a side effect of a universe where you evolved. That is like the logical fallacy that the earth was created for us. We evolved shaped by the environment.
So nice.
Human life is like a book ,yuo born ,start the writing , yuo live a life and one day , yuo die.End of the Book.I m in the d) nicotine and yuotube😅 Who knows who will read my book?or yuors?
I'm genuinely pissed this video doesn't have as much as some of your others. This videos message really resonates with me. Keep up the grind man. Even though I don't know you I love seeing you win.
Robin Williams had a disease, so may not have consciously did what he did. My mom died from it too. A form of dementia with no cure that leads to no quality of life at all. Our minds become collateral damage…
Personally. The meaning to existence, is to make it meaningful.
Well done Lad. Carry on.
Thank you this helped me a lot when I needed it ❤

Thanks!
There were some good thoughts until you reached Faith. Faith: "complete trust or confidence in someone or something." I don't need intrinsic meaning, nor even sunjective meaning to the world or my actions. I am the universe and I am not. And the conflation of individual intelligence with the universe is just silly. Water isn't wet.

Life is a short warm moment and death is a long cold rest!!!
I never saw hypergamy as a problem with females; it is what it is. You can either whine about it or make yourself a better man.
I have found that red pill content is very valuable and painfully truthful. Yet, it becomes toxic, in a sense, when it isn’t swallowed fully. When the pill gets stuck in the throat of these men and women who decide to take it. Our society has been much more accepting of the feminist movement but not of red pill, which is the opposing side. Difference is feminism pushes women’s rights and is pro-equality. When red pill simply outlines the contrasts between men and women in an effort to shed light on how each side can live together in harmony. Men and women are not equal. We never will be. It was designed that way so that we can balance each other. We cannot survive as a species without one another. The red pill isn’t truly swallowed completely and successfully until the anger is gone. Men who still hold anger, speak in statistics and insists on being an alpha “high value man” haven’t yet swallowed the red pill. Doesn’t mean red pill content isn’t the truth. Just means that those men are using it as a way to medicate the feelings of incompetence they have.
