It seems these days we are all living memes, brought to us courtesy of the internet and even if memes seem to match up with our individual experiences at times, are they truly accurate in describing the most salient aspects of our experience? In short, are memes doing a disservice to us?
When you talk about gurus I'm reminded of what a friend of mine said regarding his side business of helping people buy houses in Japan. When I asked him about how they're going to live in the house, he nonchalantly said well that's up to them. This was right after talking about the money he was making off doing it.
People often claim to help others, and to some extent they do. But they're always helping themselves first. The image of the happy go lucky dog who suddenly drops over his snack and growls at you like he'll rip your throat out if you touch it and then reverts to his tongue waggling self once his treat is gobbled up comes to mind
"People often claim to help others"...and I immediately turn on my BS detector when I hear such a claim.
I like your dog example. You even see dogs who have never been really hungry even once in their lives do it, too.
@@bc-cu4on Ah yes, the yippy snippy tiny ones that never leave the couch except to get put into the purse!
People often pretend to help others but really help themselves first as the happy facade drops. In the end, it’s just another reflection of the inherent emptiness in human actions.
That’s why God commands us to love other people as we love ourselves. It’s not something that is natural for fallen human beings.
Bruh, Im a middle-aged doomer who watches way too much RUclips. Yeah, Im a meme. 😂
@John-PaulHunt-pv6olthat’s sociopathic
@@electrodynamicorb6548environmental input being this clown world. Genetic expression output is an uptick in dormant sociopathic tendencies coming out of
@John-PaulHunt-pv6ol So basically, you use people and discard them once you are done, and it is okay to do it because businessmen and CEOs do it too? I'm glad I don't know you, bruh.
Being a meme or a doomer doesn’t matter. Everything is equally meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Embrace the absurdity.
@John-PaulHunt-pv6ol I would rather be a decent human being than strive to become what you are just so I can claim to be successful. Your existence sounds empty and sad.
The young man’s natural desire to earn his way to love and success is being hijacked by as many gurus that always seem to have the answer to everything.
Your problem is lolis.

Whether it’s a tragedy or comedy, it’s all just a performance in the theater of the absurd. The only truth is the void.
@@JustaNobody-j8x just remember, it’s all just a ride.
My friend was talking about his bad habits like it was funny. I didn’t laugh, I’m tired of our life being a joke
All habits good and bad are just distractions from the void we all face. Life is meaningless, so there’s nothing funny about our attempts to cope with it. Everything we do is pointless, and humor doesn’t change that.
@@JustaNobody-j8x 100%. Now follow through and end it.
Why? If there is no meaningful difference, why choose to clock out early?
@@phalanx8437
Yes. It may be a healthy normal human part of a process of realization and ultimate acceptance of the issues, but if it is an unending state and not part of a process then it becomes tiresome. Good luck hope he's having a process 🙏
@@phalanx8437you first!!
The best way to fix personal issues are positive experiences which are generally gated by looks. If you do not have a lot of good experiences you probably are lacking those called "looks".
money also helps.
If positive experiences depend on looks, it highlights life’s superficial and meaningless nature. It shows how superficial and unfair existence is, which only reinforces the void and futility of it all.
@@JustaNobody-j8x i'd argue it depends on looks AND money. but looks can get the simpler positive experiences. ppl chasing made up currency also highlights life's wtf factor.
@@shreksburgers I get where you’re coming from, but to be honest, money is meaningless. It’s nothing but a superficial construct with no real value or purpose, highlighting the emptiness and futility of life.
@@JustaNobody-j8x money is meaningless but everyone buys into it, so it's important to help you make it out in the "real world." money's value is what people give it, and its purpose is as you know a return on your investment, an easy way of doing transactions. basically a universal way of trading products and services that's less messy than bartering. is all.
American culture. Everything needs a branding. That's how Apple sells you subpar phones at ridiculous prices.
The Apple sheep gets what it deserves.
Life being a meme makes perfect sense in a meaningless universe. Whether you’re a Chad or sigma, it’s all just noise in the cosmic void. So all we can do is to enjoy the absurdity and laugh at the joke that is existence.
You aren't a joke.
I remember my firsr shroom trip I just kept saying "we're all just memes, you're a meme, I'm a meme. Everyone is a meme."
Nah man you’re a being from a higher dimension who lowered the vibration of its consciousness to come into this place for experience. Just keep on keeping on while you take it all in.

@@angryturtle777 “we’re all just memes” -Monsoon
I was thinking just earlier today about how the internet has facilitated the generalization of pretty much everything and how dangerous that is. Everyone is too quick to fit things and people into a box and act as if they're unquestionable experts just because they've learned a lot in a short amount of time online. We've all gained a lot of knowledge in the past 20+ years with the internet, but there is no substitute for wisdom or experience. Both of those things take time and patience. It's the technology outpacing morality problem.
I remember when my friend pronounced memes as “me-me”, like saying me twice in a row. I never corrected the dude who said it wrong because it was just to funny 😂 just kept asking what those kind of jokes were again 😂😂
Pronounced correctly or not, Memes and humor are just fleeting distractions in a meaningless existence.
@@JustaNobody-j8x ok dude it’s your life, the only one that’s going to make it meaningful is you, good luck

A skit on Robot Chicken that hit home for me was one where a group of orcs in a fantasy world are playing their version of D&D where it's our world and the orc rolling the dice fails the saving roll and the Dungeon Master says "your file fails to save."
Something about a group of people in another dimension playing a game pretending to live in our lives just seems funny.
It could be worse. I could be the old guy standing next to the stern-looking woman in the classic painting, American Gothic. That was a meme about life before anyone, even Dawkins, knew what a meme was.
I noticed something like this when I was very young - that most people have a need to place you into a known archetype in order for them to 'understand', or indeed, like you. I was fairly eccentric at school, and outcast until one day someone decided I was 'like X character from a TV show', and then I was accepted. It's mind boggling to me. I've never understood why this is the case. I'm almost 40 now but it still doesn't make any sense to me, and yet I'm rather sure by experience that it is how most people are.
"You're like X" is such a universal thing. Once you see it you'll notice it everywhere. In fact, heard that line used on me today. It's hopefully giving you social proof and allowing people to extrapolate the traits from someone else onto you, so they "figure you out".
I do it myself as well. Mostly to know which people to avoid, by comparing their behaviour to undesirables i've met in the past.
I often sit there and wonder how so many generations after generations after generations kept perpetuating the cycle.
"Life is ugly, it's complicated. And rarely can it be encapsulated in a few sentences."
So true.:')
I am a meme made from my genes
Fellow wojack.
Your genes, like a meme, are just random and insignificant. Like all of us, we are nothing but specks in this meaningless universe. Everything we do and believe in is pointless.
Funny. I’m a gene made from my memes.😆
People want to feel they are different and not a stereotype/archetype. As I get older, I see nothing wrong with being a stereotype. Each one of us is set in their ways and their lives reinforce their personas.

I think it helps if you're not a negative stereotype, or too much of a negative stereotype
I think Jocko would surprise you. He’s the kinda guy that would come back from a military tour and take ballet lessons. For real.

You're born and then told to work your ass off or go to jail.
The funny thing is that a guy who calls himself the architect says this. He is like the top brass bad guy in The Matrix. It really brings credence to the old Evil Genius Theory. The Evil Genius theory is that an evil genius created your brain and put it in a jar and tricked to thinking you have a fully sentient life complete with a body while you actually just live out a nightmare of his design.

Thought my life is a drama it’s a meme
Whether your life is a drama or a meme, it’s all just part of the absurdity. In the end, it all means nothing.
@@JustaNobody-j8xwe're all just here to observe. Maybe you should try to have some fun instead of being so dead inside. I felt the same as you did once.
I find it curious how many folk sayings and wisdoms we have that implicitly state that your appearance likely reflects your life, _'you are what you eat'_ or _'you are who you surround yourself with'_ and such, but somehow, when the correlation is stated explicitly it becomes taboo, a lie spread by bigots and hateful people.
It’s easy to mistake silence and stillness for some kind of unwanted chaos rather than a more than welcome peace. Embrace that which is
I've always felt like I never fit into any box and yet people are desperate to categorise me so they can disregard me.
I wouldn't necessarily use the word 'meme', I prefer the term 'archetype'. I guess meme wojaks are an expression of those archetypes. There's this nice short book called 'King, Warrior, Magician, Lover' that talks about masuline archetypes and their positive and negative expressions.
So for instance, in terms of the fundamental image of the doomer, he's jaded, blackpilled. I see that as similar to the symbol of the aloof magician who, high up in his ivory tower, has discovered too much to the point where it's so difficult to see any good in it and loses his will to continue.
Memes cam definitely be harmful especially when all the people around you see you a certain way, when all your family and friends put you in that box.
>Memes cam definitely be harmful especially when all the people around you see you a certain way, when all your family and friends put you in that box.
That's not by accident. They're being used, for years now, to well poison and disenfranchise certain groups or types of behaviour (or people) that are seen as a threat to the current "top agendas" (if you catch my drift). And it's only getting worse as they perfect their mastery at manipulating it as a weaponized propaganda, despite those being something that initially emerged organically.
Well, one can always follow the example of Lord Skeletor. Even with all his effort and power, he fails to best He-Man, but he still uses his mind and soul to create funny alliterative insults to hurl at his henchmen, the pathetic pinheads!
Jocko Wilink reminds me of real-life Popeye the Sailor Man.
From stereotype to meme. We're all subjected to terms.
The part where you spoke about the weaponized memes I relate to so much since I feel like some memes come out of the blue to parody certain aspects of my phenotype or personality. The doomer meme, for instance is largely accurate for me and at other times I feel like the chudjack tries to be a scathing parody. It's very weird seeing your life reflected in memes and idk if it's toxic necessarily.
Memes are culture.
Yet they don't even exist offline
@@UrbanizegamingThey do, memes are not just the 4chan stéréotypes, memes codify rituals and information that optimize communication.
It is not gurus, all parasocial relationships use memes to broaden their range.
Memes. The DNA of the soul.
I cant deal with this right now.
Life sucks balls!!!
Great you posted this because I thought you yourself were putting people in boxes a tad much in some of the earlier videos you posted this year and it put me off a bit. Some of your pre conceptions about people were straight up inaccurate when looking from a different cultural background like that of myself.(ie once you claimed women don't like explicit pron, but if you grow up in asia you would know that there's a subset of women (not insignificant in number) who are into exactly that, and they are into grosser stuff than most men would even imagine)
The wise and ruthless salesman simply takes your insecurities and doubts and sells them back to you. Do not let them make the rules of the game. You won't win.
Stardusk would you do a video on "personality maxing" ?
In reference to picking a person to date.
Not trying to improve your own personality, which is fixed for the most part.
Not sure if people would find it interesting.
I think humans understand things quite easily when they are categorised. A person can be bad or good, boring or fun, smart or dumb, dumb or smart.
I suppose even when trying to understand yourself, you can also subconsciously do this. This might actually be due to the fact that you fall into some of these memes.
It's basically archetypes. The problem with archetypes, as you stated, are the complexities and peculiarities of individuals defer considerably from each other. That's why some advice for a meme might work for you while others will not
Ape there actually is an inkwell who ascended to chadlite his name on youtube is Chad lite / Ascended
"inject the memes into my bloodstream" ~Francis of the Filth.
“Oh, you think memes are your ally. But you merely adopted the memes; I was born in the memes, moulded by them.”
There are things in this life I will never understand. Like how some people get what they get. Despite you being more qualified in every way.. How some people can experience things so effortlessly while such things simply arent a part of my reality.
At times I feel fortunate when I see how some people live, but at other times I feel as if the world is having fun except me.
I just dont get it
This world was never fair or the inhabitants equal to begin with. People just dealt with life itself and couldnt afford to "waste time" pondering about it like we do, they had to survive but also had more freedom from the burden of todays society, women were more a part of peoples life. They also didn't have to deal with knowing and seeing too much information, some things were harder, some easier like mens much talked burden.
Same applies for us, we have it so easy yet so hard. But no innate urgency to survive, so men philosophise endlessly about their plight, they are more or less complacent and depressed, with no hope of things changing anytime soon. I dont know if I would say the world has gotten worse, but it's just too chaotic and even peasants back then had more freedom, more property and a wife on top of that.
@@Lyu-Phy The modern world has more comfort but less quality. Personally I feel like that is a downgrade. 😎
@@ModelJames13 I wouldn't put it that way personally, though we have more comfort yes. But it was more clear what to do and day to day life had more order, it was a hard but honest life and had something to offer, community, belonging, meaning, a wife. It was hard but at the same time more simple. The modern man lives in a society without any of that and no rewards in sight, even tho you would think it would be the contrary. What makes it even worse is the fact that everything around us is more fake than ever and people dont need to depend on each other anymore, so people become more replaceable.
@@Lyu-Phypeople depend on others much more in highly technological societies. We just don't see it and that is why people are replaceable. Anyone that can do the job is fine by you as long as the job is done. That's for all the background/taken for granted stuff like infrastructure.
The only way to be truly independent is to live completely off the land. In that situation the people you really need, fatm hands, doctors, blacksmiths. . .
those people need to be as good as they can at the job. There are no substitutes. You also have to work directly with them to balance out what either of you can or cannot do.
Today we are much more dependent on others.
@@brianbarrett8739 But the dependance of todays society is dishonest and build upon more sacrifices. Let's take women for example they are still very dependant on men, all the money they can easily make in todays world is all still coming from men and the government. Even If they lose a dozen spenders it doesn't affect them that much, cuz that is another caviat of our times: our population has exploded since the last century and a half, thus making billions upon billions more replacable in the grand scheme of things.
Couple that also with the fact that a lot of work is outsorced to people from third world countries who work much more and harder for way less pay and it's a wrap. And what do men get in comparison? nothing, something that would have been unthinkable back then. It wasn't all rosy either, but atleast you gained something in return from the other gender, people and work. It's just not looking that bright for our economy and having natural bonds and relationships all in all and feminism didn't help either in that regard shifting all the pressure even more on men.
I've considered for years now that I'm an NPC. Just playing my role.
what is your role
To view yourself as an NPC fits perfectly with the belief that life is a meaningless script. We are all playing a meaningless role in an indifferent universe, with no real significance or purpose. It’s all part of the void and emptiness of existence.
I think an npc would actually be out in the world where the player can see them occasionally. I barely even do that anymore.

But now our stories are cut short prematurely by lack of opportunity and being spoilt/ruined and becoming post-youth tragedy epilogues of mere miserable or unfulfilling existences, self-medicating through our poor mental states on screens. Time for a smart revolt to get our shapely, well-filled stories back.
The indvidual is lost, when they put themself into a category.
Memes aren't called the DNA of the soul for nothing, after all...
The common man wants nothing of life but health, longevity, amusement, comfort -- "happiness." He who does not despise this should turn his eyes from world history, for it contains nothing of the sort. The best that history has created is great suffering.

I thought this was going to be a Wojack episode from the channel Lord Wojack
Me: rushing over to Amazon to order a bathrobe. Seriously, though, Stardusk hinted at this around the 8 minute mark. I think that the acceptance of memes is sustained mostly by assumptions of association and false attribution, e.g., if I'm of a certain generation and I support restrictions on abortion then I must also be a bible-toting gun nut who wants to put women back in the kitchen. If I express pro-choice views, then many will assume that I'm also for gun control, lenient enforcement policies, or even have an antifa flag in my room. We are no longer viewed as individuals, but rather as Stardusk describes us. Well, I guess I'll get back in my bucket.
