Dude you need more views. People need to hear this. The young generation needs to hear this. We as a society are in such an autopilot mode that the conditioning gets stronger in young minds
well I'm lucky that I watched this video/knew about these when I'm this young, being only 14. The environment around me is crazy with all the social conditioning, if you know you know. It's taking a lot of work for me to make it more optimal and to actually not hate how suboptimal and meaningless it is especially being in school.
Hey Justin, You made some very interesting and insightful points. If you are interested in hearing another perspective on the concept of the futility of life, then I suggest reading the book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible. Regardless of religious alignment, this book lays out many of the thoughts you are expressing in a fascinating and insightful way :)
i would love to see more videos like this, i consider myself an abstract introvert as you said before and this view of seeing life, this methaphore you gave is incredible, i really admire you, you are so so so wise, thank you for all your work Justin, you are trully given us amazing valuable content, i honestly thank you (by the way, i´m from argentina, so if my spelling isn´t good, thats why hahaha)
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: Efficiency is important because it allows us to make the most of our time and life, even though there may not be a universal cosmic purpose. Seeking meaning and purpose in life is essential to find fulfillment. Motivation is driven by relevance and the fear of losing something meaningful. To increase efficiency, it's crucial to align your actions with your identity, values, and goals. Efficiency empowers us to accomplish more and pursue our interests and passions. Pursuing efficiency and personal development is a choice, and it may not be for everyone, but it's worth considering its relevance to your life. Made with HARPA AI
Your opening statements resonate with me. It's a bit why I have a negative view on bodybuilders that eat 6-10k calories a day, but don't really bring much value to society. On the other hand, these "nerd/geek" types in STEM fields are eating a fraction of those calories, but their output is substantially more valuable to the advancement of mankind.
I don’t think he meant actual physical food calories. He meant it metaphorically as if there were an input of daily willpower and the output what you do with that willpower i.e. not burning the “calories” on useless activities. If there is no real meaning to anything, then bodybuilders are actually using their mental calories pretty effectively for a cause that is difficult and provides them with satisfaction and pride. Nothing wrong with bodybuilding lol
@@bp1795 Ah, I see. I work in the sciences, so when I hear "calories", I immediately resort to thermodynamics. Bodybuilding is fine to an extent - bodybuilders will be the first to tell you what's wrong lol. I was trying to highlight the extreme end of the practice which I thought was clear with the "6-10k calories" reference. There are obvious metabolic benefits to muscle mass, but when does it become excess? Not to mention those who jeopardize their health in pursuit of this. Also, not sure I follow you on that logic there - if there is no real meaning to anything, then doing nothing would be just as valid as doing anything else.
@@sr.frogdo1924 Was referring to those who partake in the practice at the highest level - not your typical gym casual. In an industry laden with issues (drugs, body dysmorphia, unhealthy dieting, among others), I wouldn't exactly consider that the recipe to a "better body and a better life". But my point was moreso with bodybuilding philosophy that echoes the sentiments on purposeless in this video. i.e. - bigger/more muscle is always better and you can never have enough. If I'm this excessively muscular person, is devoting more time/energy/resources for the sake of putting on a few more pounds of muscle truly a productive use of time?

@@paulewannacrackr yes if it allows you the freedom to do what you really want to do with your life. THAT is the point of this video
smart rule of thirds framing of your video hahaha, wonder if that's accidental XD
Deliberate :) I did work as a freelance graphic designer for 13 years after all.
@@JustinSung woah! 13 years!
What is thirds framing?
i love you man
Love this perspective!
plz continue these videos
ironic how your belief that life is futile is a meaning to your life
And the belief that life is futile is a meaning to someone's life is futile too!
@@captaincaption And the belief that life is futile is a meaning to someone's life is futile, is a meaning to your life
