Seems to me a right-wing conspiracy theorist these days is anyone who can think and express one or more thoughts that may (at that time) deviate from the prescribed, mainstream narrative. That's it, that's all it takes.
The irony is not lost on me that after decades of drug abuse, mental health crisis and abusive relationships I find myself the most stable and balanced I've ever been. I'm 48 and I'm fully aware and awake to the madness around me...and it's all good. Keep driving Thelma.
Me too. It’s almost like our lives have shaped themselves so that we’re prepared for this shit show. I’m partly grateful because I was able to recognise the abusive behaviour and language 💪🏼
I'm 77 and after having been so close to WWII I didn't want to believe that this could happen. I'm an avid history reader so I know that all of this is true and it's happening now. I know how to survive adversity but I watch those around who don't. The time has come for them to experience it and to realise that they too can survive it and become stronger and who they were meant to be. To live up to their potential. I believe our innate survival instinct is still strong, but the most important thing is HOW we go about surviving, hopefully in a way that uplifts our species in a good way. One of the the best seminars I've seen in a very long time. Richard is a realist.
I agree. I am 74 and could see this crap from 1975 forward. It was like I have seen this happen before. Read a book by Oswald Spengler called The Decline of the West. Have always been a fan of Robert Heinlein & Isaac Asimov. Now the Sci-Fi of the past4 5 years ago in science fact today! It has been a WILD ride! Good Luck to ALL.
@@griffphilm how on earth is this driving anything faster? If you are hanging from a cliff edge over water, would you rather hang there until you are too weak to swim, or would you rather let go, and start swimming while you still can? Reality is what it is, and it is far worse than he said.. time to face it..
Mind Blown. This was the best compilation of my own thoughts, that I've ever heard. I've been waiting for someone in the public realm, to be brave enough to say it! I should have known it would be you, Richard. Thank you. Even though I'm sad, because of the massive destruction and deceptions taking place, I am also immensely grateful for your ability to speak truth with such clarity and insight, in this present darkness. The spiritual attacks against us will continue to be intense, but we will prevail. I'm sure you must know that we are the Remnant and chose to come here because we are more than capable and tremendously tenacious to stay the course regardless of where it takes us. Crazy time to be here, hey? We. Got. This. 😊👍
@@suzybeaman6758 I was actually talking to someone who was trying to leave a scam comment but their comment must have been deleted. It was pretending to be Richard offering private enlightenment lessons or some rubbish, in bad English too. I wasn't talking to you. I liked your comment. Sorry for the misunderstanding though. :)
Beautiful. I had long ongoing trauma inflicted on me as a young child and then spent over 40 years trying to "fix" myself with the "help" of the psy sciences. What helped me move on from it is the idea that PTSD is mis-named with the inclusion of the "D"....it is not a disorder but a normal reaction to an abnormal amount of BS that happened then, not now. Proof of my success is not dependent on the total absence of anxiety or sadness.
The thing is why do I have to suffer so much while , corrupt , greedy , dirty , scumbags live like kings and don't . Nietzsche doesn't apply to them it seems only us , normal,decent , folks.
@@gregorygant4242 Would you really want to live such an easy and meaningless life, though? Or would you rather grapple with life in all of its depth, pain and suffering included? One overcomes pain through meaning--without pain, life is merely a shallow daydream.
Richard, this is your best work...I love you as a philosopher, as a psychologist, and a voice that can lead people hopefully forward. I am always trying to find different ways to teach your stuff to my clients. Thanks again for all that you do!
I’m actually preparing myself for the gulag , we’re all feeling the same anxiety as those on skid row . I grieve for my daughters so much , I’m wrestling with monumental guilt for bringing them into this sick society 😭😭
@@daughterofyah9217 atleast you're empathetic to that fact though. My dads happy im here to suffer right along with him. So your daughters are already leaps and bounds ahead of some.
Oh YOU are not alone. Its hard in our surrounding reality as like minded people only on social media. Maybe one day we can all get together and change fucking matter itself.
@@shellyfrye7404 I really hope we do, I've had so many bad experiences with people in the last year being in jail and being drug addicted im just so tired of people gaslighting and taking advantage of me. When you don't have anyone you can trust it has a way of making the human mind go insane. We evolved to need other peoples attention and affection. And we're living in a society where people are growing more and more isolated so its no wonder why the suicide rates are skyrocketing. In the past 2 years over 70% of my old friends and new acquaintances have killed themselves some I've even had a unintentional hand in helping in completing the act. I've overdosed 3 times in the last year and I'm the only one out of any of the people I've met in that time thats still alive. I don't feel like I should still be here to be honest. Doesn't feel right seeing everyone else go and still be stuck here. What few friends aren't dead are leaving the states due to the pure state of things here and I can't blame them. The US is basically a third world country now without the freedom's you get in third world countries. I find myself asking myself everyday why am I still here? And the simple answer is fear. And to a lesser extent mental illness that keeps me financially destitute and unable to get out of the country even if I wanted too. Shit just don't feel right anymore and I'm not sure what to do about it.
We (Australia) are rising up Rich - you are just not being told about it by legacy media. We are protesting and hitting not only the capitals but regional cities as well. It's the normal matrix b/s 24/7. I can see what Professor Mattias Desmond refers to now as "mass formation psychosis" and we are right in the thick of it. What you have talked about in this presentation lines up perfectly. We were and still are at that point but now mass formation psychosis has set in as well.
Thank you for saying so. I’m in Canada. We have a very compliant culture here. Last week in Toronto the protest was down to a couple dozen people but hoping for a resurgence in the spring. Until then I’m living vicariously through others lol. Keep up the good work 💪✌️❤️
There are a ton of scholarly reports regarding the infantile mass psychosis of western consumer societies that have been recently released. In 20 years I have not found a single person willing to push back here in Melbourne, and have been jailed 3 times now as a whistle blower, that required the complicity of scum sucking lackeys of the legal and psychiatric community, who refuse to bite the hand that feeds them. In one case a domestic violence murderer walked free. Protests have to break free of the so called legal constraints of holding signs and signing petitions, as this is just asking "pretty please" for change...to which "fuck you", is the common response. The government was self appointed by the landowners, they have no right to rule fullstop, and the police have no right to lay a finger on anyone.
Well done, stay resillient ✊ I believe we are world wide beyond being able to rely on ANY media for being truthfully reporting about resistance. I wish we would be able to establish a global news outlet that has true integrity and freedom of press, expression and debate. But all those valuables have been slaughtered systematically, to the degree that they aren't even viewed as virtuous terms.
30% are fearful and follow government-induced panics 40% are of no fixed opinion and will go along with the agenda for a quiet life and to fit in 30% are the sceptical, questioning and challenging
Richard Grannon, all of your professional history has been leading up to this important point. Glad you are exactly where you were meant to be right now. Feel better that you're here with us, on this trepidatious journey. Thanks for all you do.
There arent many talks I would listen to more than once because the content is so dense, thought provoking, and inspiring but this is one of them. Thanks.
When I said a while back that you are the one to be teaching this stuff, this seminar is exactly what I had in mind. You have a balanced and thought out style and are excellent at knowing the levels to take your message (honesty, no nonsense) and still always manage to find humor in even the wretched state we find ourselves in. There is a distinct difference in your persona and style that everyone notices. You care, and you are the furthest thing from that "hey there 😉" super-stud, nauseating lifestyle-hustler coach. Your concern, your research, all of it, is the reason people are so comforted by your presence. You see clearly what's going on, AND you're extremely relatable, AND you're not manipulating your listeners for anything...on and on. I could ramble a long time about how awesome this is.
His yin and yang bit is ON POINT. It how I try to live my life and raise my 3 brave young boys. Be strong and brave, but compassionate and empathetic. I am glad to have discovered this guy 👍🏻
After 38 years of this life feeling always a bit on the outside looking in and dragged through hell and back I think I finally found my people's. Maybe we found each other either way it's so great to be thankful for the pain. Keep that energy up , Ignis aurum proat, miseria fortes viros!
"Alive, alive I wanna get up and jive I wanna wreck my stockings in some jukebox dive....!" And so much more. As an 18 year old I had the crazy good fortune of hearing Buckminster Fuller speak at my small Midwestern university. His words stayed with me as a guide for the rest of my life. Most impartially he advised that life is a struggle. We go from one struggle to the next. But that's OK. Humans were designed to solve problems. We were given everything we need to solve them. That's the purpose of life. To solve problems. That's why we big brains. So get a grip! Define the problem and then work at developing a solution. And find joy and gratitude in everyday life. And if you're to full of angst to find it today, OK. Hopefully you live to see tomorrow.
I can smell the end … the question is, the end of what will we have! I live in Germany …. and they haven’t learned from history. 🙈 People are totally escalating here and all the known behavior from the past is out in the open again and triggers the flight mode.
Dont worry not at all restricted to Germans ....i don't believe people collectively " learn" sometimes there's pockets of behaviour which give the illusion of learning having taken place..but its just an illusion.
@@bladerubber I know it’s global … but I am really worried, because Germany and my neighbors Austria plan mandatory pokes from February 2022 for everyone. The law in Austria suggests high fines for those who refuse and 1 year of prison (last week it was 1 month so not too bad), but as a poke refuser you have to cover the full costs of staying in prison. WTAF!! This is a new form of escalation. Maybe they are bluffing, but it sounds more and more serious every day.
Heard that you were a far-right MRA type, turns out you're an intelligent, sensible, grounded man who delivers practical advice for people to deal with trauma and grow as spiritual, social and material beings. I look forward to listening to all your other videos. Learning abt narcissism in individuals & society is especially helpful and something that should be taught to kids in school. Thank you for your work 👏
Funny how often I see a comment like this but the writer never ever mentions anything about getting back to those who labeled the public figure as "far right" or whatever and exposing them as liars or teaching them some truth or something.
@@willstevenson9634 I googled Richard Grannon to learn more about him and saw people discussing him on Quora. Some of them, not the majority, were saying he was aligned with the far right and MRAs but they didn't provide any argument or proof to back up those claims. Another case of online smearing by keyboard warriors no doubt. Now why would I waste my time calling out their lies? I don't think there's any hope getting through to anonymous strangers online, especially not disingenuous ones.
1:25:45 I'm a muslim. read book of five ring which basically budhism (as I understand it) in my youth. practised kendo for 10 years in my 30s. recent experience placed me in conflict whether I need to confront it, which might lead to job loss, which money I need for family, when suddenly it dawn on me: nothing is everything. everything is nothing. 1st nothing is pacifism which leads to the best solution (the everything) of my problem, which is I then can keep my job since I dodged a BIG bullet by standing still. But in order to achieve that I need to let go (chose nothingness) of my self righteousness which is my everything. I though I would want to share this whatever it is. Hopefully it'd be beneficial to any who look at it and need it. Cheers. Thanks, Richard.
😂Richard is witty which is a bonus to his informative material…Not to split hairs or turn a spontaneous funny comment into a annoying technicality of sorts but ironically we are actually the ones that ghost God through our free will.
Anne marie: why would you think Ghosted by God is a good slogan? When a request isnt granted, may be a matter of intent. Your words, thoughts, intent become your reality (reflection) when not aligned through faith with God who fixes things for our good when we forget.
I can feel the vibrations coming through the screen. He is so much on my wavelength and those with a grounding to reality even with the spirituality it makes me giddy with how much sense he speaks. He literally calls forth the very essence of what it means to be human. Namaste.
I knew, felt, understood, learned, realised all myself without education. I think a lot of people do. It is very nice to have it all laid out and expanded upon I such an open refreshing way. Useful, informative, insightful. Brilliant, thank you.
I have had a mixed response to Richard over the years. At first, I thought he was accurately describing a series of bad girlfriends I'd had but then I realized one of them had seen his videos and thought it was describing me. In my mind, I had only ever given and given, making sacrifice after sacrifice but when we talked, many years after the divorce, we each found the similar issues with the other. I am a strident individualist who desperately misses human warmth but who can't find anyone who measures up to the family I was born into. In my mind, she was shallow, grasping and attention seeking but to her I was stifling and judgmental. So I came to the conclusion that viewing people as narcissists is often counter-productive and leads even more people to view themselves as victims when there may well be things they were doing wrong as well. This lecture blew my mind. Richard, if you're still reading, this was easily as good as a Jordan Peterson interview with significantly more humour and it landed mate. Honestly, this is the best lecture I've seen in a long time. And no, I'm not blowing smoke. It's really useful.
I remember those videos in the beginning. They got me through a really tough break up with someone who is a malignant narcissist. However further listening I began to realize I too had some of these traits. It takes a really dare I say ballsy person to face what and who we are. It’s not everyone else and not ourselves too. It’s all of us, it’s the human condition and we if we keep denying the truth we will remain this emotional pansies that can not handle the smallest blip let alone a mountain of an issue. It’s time to wake up and grow and reconnect after the trauma heals and we stop projecting our weaknesses but instead overcome them.
This was infinitely better than anything I’ve ever heard come out of Peterson. His speech and his attempts to explain concepts so often come out as incoherent word salad. Sometimes it almost seems like he doesn’t know where he is, briefly, now and then. But what’s the worst to me is him offering the most basic rules and guidelines about modern existence in our society as if it’s his contribution to the species- except there’s no one who hasn’t heard “make your bed”, and “clean up after yourself” a million times while growing up, and we’re all still aware that if we followed those recommendations our lives would almost certainly be much better. And yet... does that re-hashing of an overdone parental lecture inspire up to jump into action? Rarely.
This kinda fits in to the theory that is quite narcissistic to watch videos in order to confirm you're partner is a narcissist. I say that with jest and not accusationally really but my issue always has been Gannon, who does great work ofc, has ended up with a small section of his audience as projecting narcissists. The bottom line is there's too many people with negative traits to bin every person that may appear on some sort of behaviour spectrum. It's a world of trauma. My exs have their truths and I have mine. Accepting that is the key to not only staying friends but being there for them in future. Jumping from person to person obsessing that they may not be 'pure' might not help the species move forward in the end. Obviously people in abusive relationships do need to save themselves first ofc. Thank you for your post it was very measured.
That was like a breath of fresh air. It's good to know there's common sense still being spoken. I know I sound over dramatic but it's been rough lately
Holy crap this is just what I needed to hear!!! It's like all of the things I've been noticing for the last decade have come out of this man's mouth... wow 👌
I F'n love this!!! Thank you Richard Grannon!!! Love the humor, the insight, the truth, the reflection, the humility, the perspective, the honesty, the hope. So grateful.
This right here is why I am neither liberal nor conservative. I think for myself, take my responsibilities seriously, support those around me and am a continusous student practitioner. Thank you Richard for laying all of this out so eloquently!
Brother...I'm a starseed...went thru 5th fire in 15... I'm not sure I would have made it w/o you and your videos you helped save a life...from bottom of my heart ♥ ty brother
I watched this video a couple of weeks ago. came back to find it. Just wanted you to know that you said something in it that made a difference to me. That's all. Made a difference. No intention of going into it. But thank you.
My late husband and I became so compatible over the years that we were on the same brain wave length. So many times one of us would say something and the other one would say, "I was thinking the exact same thing." After he died, and I was drawing up plans to remodel the kitchen (and the house, overall), I realized that marriage makes you less selfish because you have to take someone else's thoughts and feelings into consideration. Although it was easy for me to remodel the house just the way I wanted it without having to take the time to get someone else's opinion or argue about anything or compromise what I wanted, I realized that compromise was necessary to make me a better person. Just like with children, nobody should get everything they want every time.
@@nyahhbinghi Well, the floor is rotting out in one corner. I don't have a choice but to rip out half of it. And when you're alone all the time, you'll find things to occupy yourself. You have to. It's like the Swamp of Sadness from the Neverending Story: if you stand still and let the grief overwhelm you, you will sink up in it and die.
This is brilliant and very helpful. He helps put the whole catastrophe of abrupt climate change and the coming collapse into perspective. This helps those of us who are struggling to let go and helps us find acceptance and sanity. People come and go. Situations come and go. Nations come and go. Civilizations come and go, Planets are born, they peak and then they die like everything else. Life on Earth is and always has been impermanent. Life is suffering. If you can first accept and then get beyond that, you will find this amazing release and inner freedom. Thanks so much to the creator of this video. Peace.
I've come to a realization that I believe it is imperative that we indivituals should take 100% responsibility for ourselves. We should be teaching our children to be totally responsible for themselves and we should be leading by example. We should be 100% responsible for every action, thought, deed that we make, we should face our responsibilities and our wrongs without blaming others. In order for us to do this, we have to face our truth, we have to face our weaknesses, our limitations, and be able do it with courage, humility and grace. I think we have been tricked into giving up our freedom and responsibilities (which in my mind go hand in hand - without being completely responsible for self, we don't have our freedom) and we now are not even aware that we are willingly doing this in the name of "safety" and it looks to me like it's causing a lot of sickness in society. Just my thoughts. Thanks Richard for this seminar, it was brilliant. Good luck with your new adventure.
Relieved to find this video due to high degrees of resonance and research. Appreciate the humour, delivery and responsibility in influencing others. He speaks what I have been writing for years, grateful for his courage and self care that nurtures such courage.
BrilliantThankyou so much for this seminar.Everything you are saying here is how I have felt since early adulthood.I am now 49.Great,honest,down to earth talk.Many thanks

Let's plant seeds and grow gardens. Thank you, Richard for taking on the responsibility of being a truth speaker in this world. May you find serene space to rest and heal because you will need your energy for the coming time. May you be guarded and protected. Namaste, dear Sir.
I live off-grid, alone on a remote ranch 14 miles from the nearest human. Poster boy for rugged individualist. I really needed to hear this. I had no idea what I was becoming.
This is an amazingly well done and accurate seminar about what's going on in the world. I have one little thing that I would have never understood till I lived it. You talked about Able-ism. I have struggled with a chronic illness for 5 yrs. Long story short, I have a genetic disorder that gets worse when you have a child. I've had 2 kids 10 yrs apart because of how bad I felt during and after the first pregnancy. Anyway, able-ism is an issue in ways you could never understand until you live it. Yes there are people who milk the system, and there are people who are overly sensitive. But there are drs who refuse to help people figure out what's going on because they think of you are walking when you walk in you are fine. I'm 100% with you that we are becoming too sensitive, but people who have real issues need things like drs who listen, ramps for their wheelchairs, not to have people judge them for wearing a medical brace, or think they are stupid Because they can't hear and attack them for it. These are real things, real people who could add to the community but are shunned, belittled, abused, and ignored because of preconceived ideas. That's the able-ism that I fight against and I'm just as passionate about it as you are about narcissistic behavior. In fact, it's usually the narcissistic drs that mistreat the disabled. I'm going to stop there because I absolutely love everything about what you've said here but there does need to be more understanding about the whole able-ism thing. If you ever want to talk about it, let me know.
I'm so sorry you've gone through and are still going through this physical pain AND the emotional pain by not being helped by those who should help! ♥️
A lot of the trouble you're facing with doctors could be (or may not be) due to where you're located. My experience is that doctors in small Texas towns don't know much, don't keep up with new knowledge, and won't think outside the box. Doctors in Southern California, especially Orange County, believe that if the problem is not in *their* specialty, then the patient is making it up, it's not real. Doctors in the Seattle area, except for Kaiser, are good doctors -- they listen (I've had off-topic chit-chat show up in my records, they listen so well), if they don't know what the problem is, they'll think of six other doctors that might, and then they'll make arrangements for you to be seen by each of those doctors. Best medical care I've ever had access to. I did have access to good medical care in Orange County, but I had to blow thru numerous doctors to find one who would actually pay attention and take the trouble to think. So glad I'm in the Seattle area now -- UW Medical System all the way! It's Awesome!
Bang on the money as always. My plan is to get outside growing fruit and veg and be creative through art. Learn to live an extremely frugal simple lifestyle to be content and free.
I just wanted to say thank you Mr. Richard Grannon hearing you say that no matter what life its not suppose to be easy or safe makes so much sense! Have a Happy Christmas and tons of good health for you in the coming New Year 2022.
Sir you just made my evening...Greetings from one serbian guy and if I would met you in Belgrade I would gladly shake your hand firmly and say Thank you!
By far one of the best videos I’ve seen and that alone speaks volumes as to the content (or lack there of) being produced nowadays. I agree with so much of the information he was discussing but the one point that stands out the most is that civilization cannot continue to go on the way it currently is. This narcissistic entitled demand for safety to the degree some are willing to physically force their will on others will not end well. There is no perfection, no utopia and everyone would be better off realizing that fact.
I am going to send this to everyone I know, This has concisely put all of the concepts and thoughts I have been thinking into a masterclass of articulation of where we are now. A massive thank you to you.
Wow, I have loved Every aspect of this talk- from the psychological insights as to how we're at the shitshow we're in and hurtling ever faster towards, the way you describe what you did educating in schools - doing what was Needed as opposed to what you were told (in fact I Loved that most!), to how you talk about gratitude being a great way to subtract from demanding more, to the fact you pinned that post from someone to whom the idea of critical, indiclvidial thinking appears lost. Have loved all your talks and delivery on navigating narcissism, but this has seriously elevated you even higher. Top bloke!
That's all we need to know "it isn't me" that created myself or the Universe around me. I wholeheartedly back everything u suggested. Im 45 n after 25yrs being in active addiction to heroin, plus codependentancy, n negativity I find relief in practicing a program with many of these principles. My life is has had a 180 degree turn. I feel at peace I have gratitude and acceptance of everything I ever experienced......thanks for all u do to help improve this world that is degrading by the moment.....🙏💖
What you said around the 40 min mark was mind blowing, we've turned into a death cult and have become risk adverse, ultimately becoming anti life in the process. I've been following your channel for years (since you brought up Pete Walker's book on CPTSD) and have been going to therapy (both individual and intensive outpatient) to me it not only has felt like people are becoming mentally ill as we go along and ideology becomes dogma but it also makes me wonder how people who have struggled with trauma are supposed to see hope or want to build on the future. It is something I struggle with personally, I remember you saying I should try out some Martial Arts (during one of your Q and A's with Pierre) as a way of building something solid for myself, I am working towards building up my resiliency and my sense of spirituality to go in tandem with my diagnosis. I know we aren't only our trauma but my mental health needed structure (to become healthier) and deconstruction for the unhealthy patterns and sense of shame- negative self talk I've struggled with for years.
Great seminar Richard! Next time if you can bring a mic to pass in the audience during the Q & A, it would be great to be able to hear all of the questions more clearly and be able to keep up on both sides of the discussion.
Amazing to hear some one enlightened to the reality of this world.⭐️ You have a really good way of explaining this reality and peoples mental health but in a nice hearted way. Sending love & light to you ⭐️❤️⭐️🌎🌈😩

I wish so much I could play this seminar on the day room TV in the psych/detox units where I work!!!!! The higher power explanation at 1:17 was perfect.

Seems to me a right-wing conspiracy theorist these days is anyone who can think and express one or more thoughts that may (at that time) deviate from the prescribed, mainstream narrative. That's it, that's all it takes.
The irony is not lost on me that after decades of drug abuse, mental health crisis and abusive relationships I find myself the most stable and balanced I've ever been. I'm 48 and I'm fully aware and awake to the madness around me...and it's all good. Keep driving Thelma.

I'm 77 and after having been so close to WWII I didn't want to believe that this could happen. I'm an avid history reader so I know that all of this is true and it's happening now. I know how to survive adversity but I watch those around who don't. The time has come for them to experience it and to realise that they too can survive it and become stronger and who they were meant to be. To live up to their potential. I believe our innate survival instinct is still strong, but the most important thing is HOW we go about surviving, hopefully in a way that uplifts our species in a good way.
One of the the best seminars I've seen in a very long time. Richard is a realist.
Being a realist is no excuse for actively driving our civilization faster down the road to collapse. He's in big denial of his narcissism, etc. etc.
Totally agree. I cannot believe that people are turning a blind eye to it. To me it is so plain to see.

Beautiful. I had long ongoing trauma inflicted on me as a young child and then spent over 40 years trying to "fix" myself with the "help" of the psy sciences. What helped me move on from it is the idea that PTSD is mis-named with the inclusion of the "D"....it is not a disorder but a normal reaction to an abnormal amount of BS that happened then, not now. Proof of my success is not dependent on the total absence of anxiety or sadness.
such a refreshing guy, all is not lost whilst people like him are still extant. Just discovered him.

Nietzsche doesn't apply to them it seems only us , normal,decent , folks.
@@gregorygant4242 Would you really want to live such an easy and meaningless life, though? Or would you rather grapple with life in all of its depth, pain and suffering included? One overcomes pain through meaning--without pain, life is merely a shallow daydream.

I really appreciate hearing your point of view on this Richard. I find it calming knowing that I'm not the only one with these ideas.
I’m actually preparing myself for the gulag , we’re all feeling the same anxiety as those on skid row . I grieve for my daughters so much , I’m wrestling with monumental guilt for bringing them into this sick society 😭😭
@@daughterofyah9217 atleast you're empathetic to that fact though.

Oh YOU are not alone. Its hard in our surrounding reality as like minded people only on social media. Maybe one day we can all get together and change fucking matter itself.

When you don't have anyone you can trust it has a way of making the human mind go insane. We evolved to need other peoples attention and affection.
And we're living in a society where people are growing more and more isolated so its no wonder why the suicide rates are skyrocketing.
In the past 2 years over 70% of my old friends and new acquaintances have killed themselves some I've even had a unintentional hand in helping in completing the act.
I've overdosed 3 times in the last year and I'm the only one out of any of the people I've met in that time thats still alive. I don't feel like I should still be here to be honest. Doesn't feel right seeing everyone else go and still be stuck here.
What few friends aren't dead are leaving the states due to the pure state of things here and I can't blame them. The US is basically a third world country now without the freedom's you get in third world countries.
I find myself asking myself everyday why am I still here? And the simple answer is fear. And to a lesser extent mental illness that keeps me financially destitute and unable to get out of the country even if I wanted too.
Shit just don't feel right anymore and I'm not sure what to do about it.

We (Australia) are rising up Rich - you are just not being told about it by legacy media. We are protesting and hitting not only the capitals but regional cities as well. It's the normal matrix b/s 24/7. I can see what Professor Mattias Desmond refers to now as "mass formation psychosis" and we are right in the thick of it. What you have talked about in this presentation lines up perfectly. We were and still are at that point but now mass formation psychosis has set in as well.
Thank you for saying so. I’m in Canada. We have a very compliant culture here. Last week in Toronto the protest was down to a couple dozen people but hoping for a resurgence in the spring. Until then I’m living vicariously through others lol. Keep up the good work 💪✌️❤️
Australia gave up the guns.....now there are 'covid' camps and brutal tyranny.
There are a ton of scholarly reports regarding the infantile mass psychosis of western consumer societies that have been recently released. In 20 years I have not found a single person willing to push back here in Melbourne, and have been jailed 3 times now as a whistle blower, that required the complicity of scum sucking lackeys of the legal and psychiatric community, who refuse to bite the hand that feeds them. In one case a domestic violence murderer walked free.
Protests have to break free of the so called legal constraints of holding signs and signing petitions, as this is just asking "pretty please" for change...to which "fuck you", is the common response. The government was self appointed by the landowners, they have no right to rule fullstop, and the police have no right to lay a finger on anyone.
Well done, stay resillient ✊ I believe we are world wide beyond being able to rely on ANY media for being truthfully reporting about resistance. I wish we would be able to establish a global news outlet that has true integrity and freedom of press, expression and debate. But all those valuables have been slaughtered systematically, to the degree that they aren't even viewed as virtuous terms.

When I said a while back that you are the one to be teaching this stuff, this seminar is exactly what I had in mind. You have a balanced and thought out style and are excellent at knowing the levels to take your message (honesty, no nonsense) and still always manage to find humor in even the wretched state we find ourselves in. There is a distinct difference in your persona and style that everyone notices. You care, and you are the furthest thing from that "hey there 😉" super-stud, nauseating lifestyle-hustler coach. Your concern, your research, all of it, is the reason people are so comforted by your presence. You see clearly what's going on, AND you're extremely relatable, AND you're not manipulating your listeners for anything...on and on. I could ramble a long time about how awesome this is.

After 38 years of this life feeling always a bit on the outside looking in and dragged through hell and back I think I finally found my people's. Maybe we found each other either way it's so great to be thankful for the pain. Keep that energy up , Ignis aurum proat, miseria fortes viros!
"Alive, alive I wanna get up and jive I wanna wreck my stockings in some jukebox dive....!" And so much more. As an 18 year old I had the crazy good fortune of hearing Buckminster Fuller speak at my small Midwestern university. His words stayed with me as a guide for the rest of my life. Most impartially he advised that life is a struggle. We go from one struggle to the next. But that's OK. Humans were designed to solve problems. We were given everything we need to solve them. That's the purpose of life. To solve problems. That's why we big brains. So get a grip! Define the problem and then work at developing a solution. And find joy and gratitude in everyday life. And if you're to full of angst to find it today, OK. Hopefully you live to see tomorrow.
I can smell the end … the question is, the end of what will we have! I live in Germany …. and they haven’t learned from history. 🙈 People are totally escalating here and all the known behavior from the past is out in the open again and triggers the flight mode.
So true 💯
Dont worry not at all restricted to Germans ....i don't believe people collectively " learn" sometimes there's pockets of behaviour which give the illusion of learning having taken place..but its just an illusion.
@@bladerubber I know it’s global … but I am really worried, because Germany and my neighbors Austria plan mandatory pokes from February 2022 for everyone. The law in Austria suggests high fines for those who refuse and 1 year of prison (last week it was 1 month so not too bad), but as a poke refuser you have to cover the full costs of staying in prison. WTAF!! This is a new form of escalation. Maybe they are bluffing, but it sounds more and more serious every day.
You can smell the end? ... Nasty!

Heard that you were a far-right MRA type, turns out you're an intelligent, sensible, grounded man who delivers practical advice for people to deal with trauma and grow as spiritual, social and material beings. I look forward to listening to all your other videos. Learning abt narcissism in individuals & society is especially helpful and something that should be taught to kids in school. Thank you for your work 👏
Funny how often I see a comment like this but the writer never ever mentions anything about getting back to those who labeled the public figure as "far right" or whatever and exposing them as liars or teaching them some truth or something.
@@willstevenson9634 I googled Richard Grannon to learn more about him and saw people discussing him on Quora. Some of them, not the majority, were saying he was aligned with the far right and MRAs but they didn't provide any argument or proof to back up those claims. Another case of online smearing by keyboard warriors no doubt. Now why would I waste my time calling out their lies? I don't think there's any hope getting through to anonymous strangers online, especially not disingenuous ones.

1:25:45 I'm a muslim. read book of five ring which basically budhism (as I understand it) in my youth. practised kendo for 10 years in my 30s.
recent experience placed me in conflict whether I need to confront it, which might lead to job loss, which money I need for family, when suddenly it dawn on me:
nothing is everything.
everything is nothing.
1st nothing is pacifism which leads to the best solution (the everything) of my problem, which is I then can keep my job since I dodged a BIG bullet by standing still.
But in order to achieve that I need to let go (chose nothingness) of my self righteousness which is my everything.
I though I would want to share this whatever it is.
Hopefully it'd be beneficial to any who look at it and need it.
Cheers. Thanks, Richard.

😂Richard is witty which is a bonus to his informative material…Not to split hairs or turn a spontaneous funny comment into a annoying technicality of sorts but ironically we are actually the ones that ghost God through our free will.
@@audraromero334 Great comment. I agree with you!
Anne marie: why would you think Ghosted by God is a good slogan? When a request isnt granted, may be a matter of intent. Your words, thoughts, intent become your reality (reflection) when not aligned through faith with God who fixes things for our good when we forget.

I can feel the vibrations coming through the screen. He is so much on my wavelength and those with a grounding to reality even with the spirituality it makes me giddy with how much sense he speaks. He literally calls forth the very essence of what it means to be human. Namaste.
I'm impressed.. He covers a lot of ground and ties it all up into a coherent narrative that discribes this reality.... Wow!

You are so appreciated. I’m using’ghosted by god’ and ‘only dead fish go with the flow’. You’ll know when you see it.❤
I have had a mixed response to Richard over the years. At first, I thought he was accurately describing a series of bad girlfriends I'd had but then I realized one of them had seen his videos and thought it was describing me. In my mind, I had only ever given and given, making sacrifice after sacrifice but when we talked, many years after the divorce, we each found the similar issues with the other. I am a strident individualist who desperately misses human warmth but who can't find anyone who measures up to the family I was born into. In my mind, she was shallow, grasping and attention seeking but to her I was stifling and judgmental. So I came to the conclusion that viewing people as narcissists is often counter-productive and leads even more people to view themselves as victims when there may well be things they were doing wrong as well.
This lecture blew my mind. Richard, if you're still reading, this was easily as good as a Jordan Peterson interview with significantly more humour and it landed mate. Honestly, this is the best lecture I've seen in a long time. And no, I'm not blowing smoke. It's really useful.
This is wonderful self reflection. 👍🏻 well done. I'm glad we are all here...listening and really taking it IN.
I remember those videos in the beginning. They got me through a really tough break up with someone who is a malignant narcissist. However further listening I began to realize I too had some of these traits. It takes a really dare I say ballsy person to face what and who we are. It’s not everyone else and not ourselves too. It’s all of us, it’s the human condition and we if we keep denying the truth we will remain this emotional pansies that can not handle the smallest blip let alone a mountain of an issue. It’s time to wake up and grow and reconnect after the trauma heals and we stop projecting our weaknesses but instead overcome them.
This was infinitely better than anything I’ve ever heard come out of Peterson. His speech and his attempts to explain concepts so often come out as incoherent word salad. Sometimes it almost seems like he doesn’t know where he is, briefly, now and then.
But what’s the worst to me is him offering the most basic rules and guidelines about modern existence in our society as if it’s his contribution to the species- except there’s no one who hasn’t heard “make your bed”, and “clean up after yourself” a million times while growing up, and we’re all still aware that if we followed those recommendations our lives would almost certainly be much better. And yet... does that re-hashing of an overdone parental lecture inspire up to jump into action? Rarely.
This kinda fits in to the theory that is quite narcissistic to watch videos in order to confirm you're partner is a narcissist.
I say that with jest and not accusationally really but my issue always has been Gannon, who does great work ofc, has ended up with a small section of his audience as projecting narcissists.
The bottom line is there's too many people with negative traits to bin every person that may appear on some sort of behaviour spectrum.
It's a world of trauma.
My exs have their truths and I have mine. Accepting that is the key to not only staying friends but being there for them in future.
Jumping from person to person obsessing that they may not be 'pure' might not help the species move forward in the end.
Obviously people in abusive relationships do need to save themselves first ofc.
Thank you for your post it was very measured.
Really enjoyed your comment 👍

My late husband and I became so compatible over the years that we were on the same brain wave length. So many times one of us would say something and the other one would say, "I was thinking the exact same thing."
After he died, and I was drawing up plans to remodel the kitchen (and the house, overall), I realized that marriage makes you less selfish because you have to take someone else's thoughts and feelings into consideration. Although it was easy for me to remodel the house just the way I wanted it without having to take the time to get someone else's opinion or argue about anything or compromise what I wanted, I realized that compromise was necessary to make me a better person. Just like with children, nobody should get everything they want every time.
Marriage is like two atoms merging
Marriage is the cornerstone of society in Islam as well and nothing pleases God more.
Marriage is great...until one of you gets bored and decides to destroy it just for fun and then go looking for something new.
I would be 0% excited to remodel my kitchen if my spouse died
@@nyahhbinghi Well, the floor is rotting out in one corner. I don't have a choice but to rip out half of it.
And when you're alone all the time, you'll find things to occupy yourself. You have to. It's like the Swamp of Sadness from the Neverending Story: if you stand still and let the grief overwhelm you, you will sink up in it and die.
This is brilliant and very helpful. He helps put the whole catastrophe of abrupt climate change and the coming collapse into perspective. This helps those of us who are struggling to let go and helps us find acceptance and sanity. People come and go. Situations come and go. Nations come and go. Civilizations come and go, Planets are born, they peak and then they die like everything else. Life on Earth is and always has been impermanent. Life is suffering. If you can first accept and then get beyond that, you will find this amazing release and inner freedom. Thanks so much to the creator of this video. Peace.
I've come to a realization that I believe it is imperative that we indivituals should take 100% responsibility for ourselves. We should be teaching our children to be totally responsible for themselves and we should be leading by example. We should be 100% responsible for every action, thought, deed that we make, we should face our responsibilities and our wrongs without blaming others. In order for us to do this, we have to face our truth, we have to face our weaknesses, our limitations, and be able do it with courage, humility and grace.
I think we have been tricked into giving up our freedom and responsibilities (which in my mind go hand in hand - without being completely responsible for self, we don't have our freedom) and we now are not even aware that we are willingly doing this in the name of "safety" and it looks to me like it's causing a lot of sickness in society. Just my thoughts.
Thanks Richard for this seminar, it was brilliant. Good luck with your new adventure.

Because I've been consuming less, I totally missed this one Richard! Absolutely profound!
I live off-grid, alone on a remote ranch 14 miles from the nearest human. Poster boy for rugged individualist. I really needed to hear this. I had no idea what I was becoming.
This is an amazingly well done and accurate seminar about what's going on in the world. I have one little thing that I would have never understood till I lived it. You talked about Able-ism. I have struggled with a chronic illness for 5 yrs. Long story short, I have a genetic disorder that gets worse when you have a child. I've had 2 kids 10 yrs apart because of how bad I felt during and after the first pregnancy. Anyway, able-ism is an issue in ways you could never understand until you live it. Yes there are people who milk the system, and there are people who are overly sensitive. But there are drs who refuse to help people figure out what's going on because they think of you are walking when you walk in you are fine. I'm 100% with you that we are becoming too sensitive, but people who have real issues need things like drs who listen, ramps for their wheelchairs, not to have people judge them for wearing a medical brace, or think they are stupid Because they can't hear and attack them for it. These are real things, real people who could add to the community but are shunned, belittled, abused, and ignored because of preconceived ideas. That's the able-ism that I fight against and I'm just as passionate about it as you are about narcissistic behavior. In fact, it's usually the narcissistic drs that mistreat the disabled. I'm going to stop there because I absolutely love everything about what you've said here but there does need to be more understanding about the whole able-ism thing. If you ever want to talk about it, let me know.
I'm so sorry you've gone through and are still going through this physical pain AND the emotional pain by not being helped by those who should help!

A lot of the trouble you're facing with doctors could be (or may not be) due to where you're located. My experience is that doctors in small Texas towns don't know much, don't keep up with new knowledge, and won't think outside the box. Doctors in Southern California, especially Orange County, believe that if the problem is not in *their* specialty, then the patient is making it up, it's not real. Doctors in the Seattle area, except for Kaiser, are good doctors -- they listen (I've had off-topic chit-chat show up in my records, they listen so well), if they don't know what the problem is, they'll think of six other doctors that might, and then they'll make arrangements for you to be seen by each of those doctors. Best medical care I've ever had access to. I did have access to good medical care in Orange County, but I had to blow thru numerous doctors to find one who would actually pay attention and take the trouble to think. So glad I'm in the Seattle area now -- UW Medical System all the way! It's Awesome!

Sir you just made my evening...Greetings from one serbian guy and if I would met you in Belgrade I would gladly shake your hand firmly and say Thank you!
By far one of the best videos I’ve seen and that alone speaks volumes as to the content (or lack there of) being produced nowadays. I agree with so much of the information he was discussing but the one point that stands out the most is that civilization cannot continue to go on the way it currently is. This narcissistic entitled demand for safety to the degree some are willing to physically force their will on others will not end well. There is no perfection, no utopia and everyone would be better off realizing that fact.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Really enjoyed this immensely.

I love your lectures. But this one is special. It is really really good, you really went an extra mile here.
Wow, I have loved Every aspect of this talk- from the psychological insights as to how we're at the shitshow we're in and hurtling ever faster towards, the way you describe what you did educating in schools - doing what was Needed as opposed to what you were told (in fact I Loved that most!), to how you talk about gratitude being a great way to subtract from demanding more, to the fact you pinned that post from someone to whom the idea of critical, indiclvidial thinking appears lost. Have loved all your talks and delivery on navigating narcissism, but this has seriously elevated you even higher. Top bloke!
That's all we need to know "it isn't me" that created myself or the Universe around me. I wholeheartedly back everything u suggested.

What you said around the 40 min mark was mind blowing, we've turned into a death cult and have become risk adverse, ultimately becoming anti life in the process. I've been following your channel for years (since you brought up Pete Walker's book on CPTSD) and have been going to therapy (both individual and intensive outpatient) to me it not only has felt like people are becoming mentally ill as we go along and ideology becomes dogma but it also makes me wonder how people who have struggled with trauma are supposed to see hope or want to build on the future. It is something I struggle with personally, I remember you saying I should try out some Martial Arts (during one of your Q and A's with Pierre) as a way of building something solid for myself, I am working towards building up my resiliency and my sense of spirituality to go in tandem with my diagnosis. I know we aren't only our trauma but my mental health needed structure (to become healthier) and deconstruction for the unhealthy patterns and sense of shame- negative self talk I've struggled with for years.
Can't recommend martial arts enough. Getting beaten up at judo is my ultimate therapy.
Respect trumps winning
@New Aeon I'm so happy that you are trudging this road of healing! Thank you for sharing....I really appreciate it ♥️

You and Sam pin pointing the crisis is very amazing
Great seminar Richard! Next time if you can bring a mic to pass in the audience during the Q & A, it would be great to be able to hear all of the questions more clearly and be able to keep up on both sides of the discussion.
If you have captions on you can read a fair amount of the questions.

THANK YOU!!!! Those ideas need to be spread everywhere.
"we thought we were flying, but we are falling, there is a difference" profound words sir
Amazing to hear some one enlightened to the reality of this world.⭐️ You have a really good way of explaining this reality and peoples mental health but in a nice hearted way. Sending love & light to you ⭐️❤️⭐️🌎🌈😩
Agree with most of this long fascinating talk. Worryingly true that so many are happy to enter the new dystopian matrix.
They may go if they like, those who do not want to should figure out an alternative to it
I would have loved to be in attendance for this in the flesh! Great work Mr. G. Much love this new you...broadened out and away from the narc planet prison. Xx
I wish so much I could play this seminar on the day room TV in the psych/detox units where I work!!!!! The higher power explanation at 1:17 was perfect. This whole lecture fits for these dying people I see all over the state where I’m working as a nurse. You know exactly what to teach these wonderful souls I try to heal!
Possibly one of the very best videos I have seen in a long time....I am resonating
I'm really looking forward to see Richard and Russell together and having a little chat.
Ooòhhhh....now THAT would beeEEE....GREAT.¡¿¡♡♡
Wow, is this really happening? I might actually have to subscribe for the Under The Skin podcast for once.
Wow, that would be absolutely wonderful! A whole new meaning to the phrase 'need a little R & R' essential listening. Thank you 🙏🏼💖
Russell who?
@@butterflymoon6368 Russell Brand, presumably.
I really like this guy! An intelligent talk with great humour x
Excellent lecture. Thank you. Take care and don’t stay gone too long.
