6:42 That's true of all emotions. You can embrace them, letting them control you, or you can let them go, controlling them. I must nota that not all emotions are bad, but some may lead to bad outcomes; we must resist those.
I love your videos. You prompted a thought that has been cooking for some time in my brain. I'm writing quickly due to time constraints, but I have to share this with you. This is a response to the "Love vs Hate" segment of this video. Love doesn't require effort of any kind to initiate. It exclusively requires a connection that occurs on the subconscious level. Hatred also doesn't require effort to initiate. Indifference is the natural state of being for all things outside of one's self that have not interacted with the self. None of these things require effort of any kind. The effort comes in afterwards. You work to build upon the foundations laid by your subconscious when you engage with love or hate or both. Hate is not the opposite of love. Neither of these things are opposites. They are adjacent emotions. The proof is that one can both love and hate something or someone at the same time. Both possess unparalleled potential for destruction, and creation. It falls to the person experiencing it to channel the energy of these emotions into something that is useful. Note that I said useful, not positive.
I'm glad you love my videos. This is the first video I've so heavily incorporated an academic source. I don't know as much about the initiation of emotions as I would like, and finding studies and paper that give the subject the attention it deserves is like pulling teeth out of an angry bear while it's trying to maul me. That being said, I like subjects like this and any time I get to explore motivations and emotions of characters in depth. Again, thanks for watching.
Very nice, I like the direction this is going in. Reminds me a bit of the x-men video you did some time ago although the topic here covers a much broader subject. Also if I had a nickel for every time ATLA was mentioned in a youtube video concerning story-telling, I'd have a lot of nickels!
ATLA is a great example in storytelling. It's also about the only thing I can be sure most people have watched. The xmen video was fun. This one took a lot more research. Scientific papers are dry reads. Interesting, but dry.
Brilliant video, mate. I felt pure hatred once for my psychopathic former flatmate. He was horrid and I hated the feeling of hatred I had for him ironically enough. When I moved out I was so glad to escape that feeling. My villain of my novel The Angaran Chronicles: The Underside (and to a lesser extent the main character Anargrin, but dor a horrible country) and it was so fun to write a hate driven villain who was so sadistic and petty it wasn’t funny. Keep up the great work, dude!
Love your content and this new "detour" into deep dives is amazing. Thanks for what you do. BUT.... You really need to tackle the Count of Monte Cristo. I really want to know what you think about it. To me is an absolute masterpiece
Hate, leads to suffering.
dope!

Thank you kindly. It was a fun if not painful video to make.
Scientific papers are so dry.
@@talexratcliffe yeah, I bet!

I'll consider it. It's one of those books that takes a week to read even if I'm not taking notes. It would definitely be a big video.
