intelligence is not at all related or bound to education. you cant get more intelligent through all the education in the world, you just gain knowledge.
I have many highly “educated “ friends.... but I find allot of them don’t have much Common sense..... I call them educated idiots! They know I’m joking with them , but a couple of them I wonder ... lol
Tim G It is intelligence. It’s not “booksmarts”; which is not the primary intelligence to have, anyway. What he has will take him farther in life than most PhDs.
So he is on the street because he chose to be. He thought a having material things would stress him out and cause him not to have love and care for people.
This man understands the Vedic scriptures better than most @2:10 - he is saying what has been written for thousands of years "Unfulfilled desire is the wrath and slavery of all mankind" - he understands by letting these desires go, that he has freed himself from a heavy weight.
I have a feeling he would say that he already has everything he needs. He's wise enough to know that everything we desire isn't always what we need! He has no blinders and no filters, a truly wise soul.
“ I just met you. I don’t know you. But, When I’m around you, we smile like we’ve known each other our entire lives.” God I hit that like button so fast.
I'm amazed at how confident and content he is, in spite of being homeless. He represents content without materialism and social status. Very soul piercing
I’m a psychotherapist and this man is spewing truth. So much depression and anxiety stems from the very things he’s explaining. I implore you to PLEASE pay attention.
"Most people want to buy their Jordans before they take care of their kids." "Not everybody is going to be rich; It takes all sides of life to make a world." Wow.
He is probably one of those rarest type of people in the world. He obtained knowledge through travelling the world and observing people. He's rich in knowledge, more so than most people would ever be in life. He's free in his own world. Bless his heart.
He is rich in spirit in too many ways to even list here. Cigarette man owns his life, his choices, his consciousness. He has made a study of himself and the world around him and has made a decision to be who HE wants to be, not who society tells him he should be. He has achieved personal power through his own consciousness. That is a freedom that so many people in this world, with much more material things, will never achieve in their lifetime. Much love and respect to Cigarette Man. 💜🙏
Cigarette Man is freaking awesome he had stated the foundation of life just as it is for some even if he’s Leary about God I pray he finds and accepts him because the knowledge he is sharing is from God 🙏🏿 This man is very clear about what he is saying and it’s very easy to understand. There is a lesson in his message😇🙏🏿
@Mancy Carr you have no right to call anyone Pseudo when you yourself hold Pseudo beliefs.😏 his beliefs are about questioning the ideas and constructs we believe in and live by. and one of Man's most questionable beliefs is in some deity we refer to as a "God"? your belief in this Myth will Never push you to be truly aware of the World around you and of your own existence as a mortal being. so Stop Indoctrinating yourselves to False Ideologies and begin to use your Mind's they way they were meant to be used..
@Mancy Carr again, you have absolutely No right calling anyone stupid or confused believing in your Fairy Tales. I'm neither of those things. just a Rational Human Being who uses Science and Reason to guide me on what is Real and what is NOT..
@OTOLI X you are such a genius, oh my god what would the world do without your intellect? Thank you for existing sir. You may be the brightest man in all of eternity
I'm in a whole different scenario in life than Cigarette Man. I'm 21 years old, I have my own appartement and I am truly blessed to have a job which I dreamt of since I was a little kid. This man is truly unique. I have never in my life seen a more wise man, nor truer words than the ones spoken by Cigarette Man. I salute you sir, and I hope that SWU can tell him how much people appreciate him. I wish I could help the guy, but unfortunately I live in Europe and its not a day-trip to LA so I could have a good chat with Cigarette. I truly wish you the best in life Cigarette, Alhamdulillah. You're Christian, I'm Muslim, but that does not effect the love that people should have towards each other. You have a great heart.
Man y’all need to get out & read more, man is wise but people get much much smarter and more wise than this man. Study the work of Mark Passio like his natural law seminar for example. This is childish talk compared to stuff like that
I'm not even 5 minutes in and l want a follow up interview. Should ask him the 5 most important things he's learned in life- that would be intriguing to hear what he would say-heck l would probably write them down.
Unfortunately my friend the youth isn't rebounding. Maybe a very small percentage. Im thankful (even just being 29) to live in end of days generation with that diploma in my eye sight. Can read. Count. Make wise choices. I have made poor choices to just learn quickly from.
Pay attention to this gentleman: no education, no phone,no driving licence, no bank account, no job, nothing material; but sure he's got lots of knowledge. Let's not forget that, among the things he hasn't got, he doesn't have drugs nor alcohol addiction. He graduated from "University of life" full colours. He belongs to that category of old people that had the knowledge and the were trying to pass it over to the next generation. To bad the new generation isn't there to listen. Great interview, great gentleman, great personality. Nice one. I'll give you 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I truly wish him the best in life, and to get housed as soon as possible he surely deserve it.. Blessing from 🇮🇹Italy
The richest man I have ever met. Pleasure to meet you sir my name is Thelma and gratefully I learned this VALUABLE lesson. Unfortunately I learned the hard way but it all got me here and here is beautiful. Peace and love brother
I done a interview with Mark and honestly I asked him if he was looking for a circus show or if he is looking for real story's he said give it to him straight it does a misjustice to his audience if it aint authentic. I have alot of respect for that.
personally I think a gofundme would be wasted on the majority of Mark's interviewees. But one for Cigarette Man, get him some dentures, that would be a nice thing.
i like that ideal Zoti...who cares what he spends it on though. if we are truly going to give it to him, its no longer our place to mico-manage those funds. Because he is a grown man. Thats just my thinkin'. I agree with what you said though, and i aint hatin'. Be Safe Everyone🙏
@@sunkissed38queen89 ah, I guess he probably isn't aware of that option. Plus he has adapted to life without them! And, when you're homeless, even something like registering with a dentist can be problematic. I'm in England, not sure how the US system works, things are different here.
Can I just say, he's probably more woke than most people. This homeless guy, who never went to school and ever had a house are wiser than many of us who probably has gone to more than 20 years of school and have more than 1 house. If he sees the value in being himself and not let others influence who he is on the inside, what's the excuse for the rest of us. I love your channel!

When at 45 years old with university diplomas,you then come to realise that you have met the greatest teacher of your entire life.Makes my parents look stupid and childish. And me too.with a family of my own I think I have found a very strong life teaching lesson that must start immediately being slowly introduced in my family. The reason I found this video is bcos am struggling with inner conflicts and I can swear I almost feel CURED. But I know that there is much to do.what a feeling. I feel like I was waiting for this gentleman my whole life.and thank goodness am not religious. I knew I could find the answer out there and here it is. Million thanks for the Video
My boyyyyyy!!!!! The one and only: cigarette man!! I was so excited to see you post another video of him!!! He’s brings me joy!♥️♥️I need him to stay safe!! There’s probably someone watching him & jealous of the knowledge he has.
You got yourself a goldmine with this video the cigarette man will not be homeless a lot people are going to track him down and try and give him everything he doesn’t need oh my I don’t think he’s aware of what he’s done 🤔
What an interesting fella he is!!! He may not read nor write, but he certainly is extremely observant and philosophical. It would be easy to sit and listen to him for hours!
My house literally burned down when I was 19 and I lost all of my material possessions. When the shock wore off and the perspective set in, it was a good feeling having less stuff. What this man is saying is the truth and he is living a kind of freedom few would have a hard time understanding until they were in his position.
Im 37, male, Irish, 18years addiction to opiates, Iv been living in this homeless hostel for 4years and I wish I had a tenth of that man's wisdom! Love your channel ❤️
awesome vid, Mark! Cigarette Man is a real cool dude, and it's great to just have one of your interviewees sharing interesting thoughts... rather than the often bleak life stories we often see from these people. I'd definitely like to see more vids like this.
@popseed2 sounds good.👍 what happens in Life as we get older is that we create these worlds for ourselves that really have no significance to our overall Wellbeing. so called "Adults" today are just living a Life that was created for them long ago. they are not Truly living the Meaningful, Happy, Rewarding Life that they honestly deserve and would choose if they knew that it even existed. 🙌
Mark, please setup a GoFundMe account for him and I can donate at least $200. He need to get off the streets. Then, he can go to skid row whenever he want to but not necessarily have to live there. He will still be able to help others but be clean and have an efficiency or a studio apt to go home to. Please...
Did you really listen to the interview? Did you listen to Cigarette Man? Maybe the man is quite happy with his life. Simple life with little worries. Why would you want to give him life's burden? You are projecting your characteristics onto him. The man seems perfectly fine with his simple life.
@popseed2 boy do I know...🤝 it's really kind of funny what people believe now days. a lot of it is just their own "realities" they have created for themselves. people actually think that just because they believe something, it's automatically true and part of Reality. but just applying a little Logic to those beliefs quickly breaks them down. and that's what happens with the belief in their so-called "Freedom" that they have. the Ideological Conditioning that we are now bombarded with is probably at the root-level of these False beliefs.
He could possibly become an honorary doctor! Some universities have given people that title; basically all of the academic curriculum, necessary attendance, and other requirements are waived and the title is bestowed. However, one may not refer to themselves as doctor (in speech or in letters or business cards), or tell others to call them doctor (though others may refer to them as such of their own choosing), nor privately practice medicine, law, psychology, etc., for money (i.e. one legally would not be allowed to lease a building and start up a private practice that admits clients for pay). This type of title has its limitations, and is usually given to those who make a substantial donation to a university that practices this, or it can be awarded to someone who has shown great knowledge or innovation in a specific field-usually something the person is interested in or practices-he could possibly be an honorary doctor of sociology, or philosophy, philanthropy, anthropology, or maybe Liberal Arts; I'm not really sure of the field, I'm just thinking of things that his knowledge can be applied to, and it seems to be in the realm of people, helping, understanding of culture, etc.
Everyone agreeing with this man and saying how true what he's saying is and how much it means and he's a bright soul yet if they seen him on the streets walking towards them they'd cross the road shows how fake people are
ConSwob obviously, to normal folks he’s just a stranger dude we walk by amazing individuals every day doesn’t mean we’re fake we are just a disconnected society
ConSwob it also shows how gullible ppl are to follow man. As long as we choose to praise man and not the message, the results will always be the same. Either being let down and disappointed, or deceived. My point is ppl don’t even know this man, but they’re calling him a God for saying shit we should already know. I’m not knocking the man, because he’s super wise, I’m knocking the ppl not thinking for themselves
Identifying with material objects is an interesting psychological dilemma, it is basically a delusion on some level where identity becomes overly attached to external objects for different reasons. The world and the universe and in constant flux, constant change and there is nothing stopping it, resistance is futile. Get in the flow, change, adapt, enjoy the ride, nothing lasts forever.
A great example of education not necessarily related to intelligence. He is quite unique.

We can never let education get in the way of our learning

To me intelligence is applying knowledge and benefit from that application of knowledge .

My boyyyyyy!!!!! The one and only: cigarette man!! I was so excited to see you post another video of him!!! He’s brings me joy!♥️♥️I need him to stay safe!! There’s probably someone watching him & jealous of the knowledge he has.
I love his outlook. He needs a platform. Thanks, Mark, for bringing him out into the light to share his philosophy.
This Channel always teaches me so much, never judge a book by its cover, honesty, truth, knowledge and so much
🥇
Well done, Cigarette Man, well done... Respect.
Mon Mac respect ✊🏾 💙
You got yourself a goldmine with this video the cigarette man will not be homeless a lot people are going to track him down and try and give him everything he doesn’t need oh my I don’t think he’s aware of what he’s done 🤔
Bigfoot Tree hugger man I love this man 💙✊🏾
Plot twist : that was his plan all along, lol 😅
@@tiffyoa1000 haha
We seriously could all learn so much from this man....he is a incredible human being.
What an interesting fella he is!!! He may not read nor write, but he certainly is extremely observant and philosophical. It would be easy to sit and listen to him for hours!
My house literally burned down when I was 19 and I lost all of my material possessions. When the shock wore off and the perspective set in, it was a good feeling having less stuff. What this man is saying is the truth and he is living a kind of freedom few would have a hard time understanding until they were in his position.
mark cmon this man deserves 30k. hes saying he needs a second chance. the people will agree with me
He is one person I would genuinely love to meet.....he could teach me a lot. What a truly fascinating man......
And such an observer of life
He would cut your face and take your bag
@@joem4664 Who says I'd be carrying my bag and wouldn't be prepared?
Im 37, male, Irish, 18years addiction to opiates, Iv been living in this homeless hostel for 4years and I wish I had a tenth of that man's wisdom! Love your channel ❤️
You can get clean, I did, I'm praying for you
Who’s here from tik tok? Love you cigarette man!!
awesome vid, Mark! Cigarette Man is a real cool dude, and it's great to just have one of your interviewees sharing interesting thoughts... rather than the often bleak life stories we often see from these people. I'd definitely like to see more vids like this.
Amazing how he learned all that in kindergarden and then never went to school again
Joeri lmao
All Life Experiences becomes your schooling!
and doesn't read Books, wow.!
@@cappriment exactly mate, school of life

sounds good.👍 what happens in Life as we get older is that we create these worlds for ourselves that really have no significance to our overall Wellbeing. so called "Adults" today are just living a Life that was created for them long ago. they are not Truly living the Meaningful, Happy, Rewarding Life that they honestly deserve and would choose if they knew that it even existed. 🙌
Profound, pragmatic and quite lovely. Love is where it's at.
God Bless you sir.. My dad spoke this same philosophy. Thank you for trying to enrich and enlighten those around you. Wishing you the best.
He made me open up my third eye, what a wise and honest man. May God bless his soul
Edit: (17:37 to 18:20 was really powerful)
He deserves so much more in life
Mark, please setup a GoFundMe account for him and I can donate at least $200. He need to get off the streets. Then, he can go to skid row whenever he want to but not necessarily have to live there. He will still be able to help others but be clean and have an efficiency or a studio apt to go home to. Please...
Kay Kay I have a feeling he is content where he is.
walshy I hate that I agree with u
200 dollars ain't gonna be for no apartment smh
Did you really listen to the interview? Did you listen to Cigarette Man? Maybe the man is quite happy with his life. Simple life with little worries. Why would you want to give him life's burden? You are projecting your characteristics onto him. The man seems perfectly fine with his simple life.
No he belongs to the streets his rich in knowledge hard to explain but his comfortable in his shoes
alot of people like this have been the brokest, this homeless man is an example
it's because he gives zero Fucks about Social Constructs. 👍
@popseed2
boy do I know...🤝 it's really kind of funny what people believe now days. a lot of it is just their own "realities" they have created for themselves. people actually think that just because they believe something, it's automatically true and part of Reality.
but just applying a little Logic to those beliefs quickly breaks them down. and that's what happens with the belief in their so-called "Freedom" that they have. the Ideological Conditioning that we are now bombarded with is probably at the root-level of these False beliefs.
This man preaching. I’m going down to skid row within the week, hope I see him.
This man should get a PHD and work in Harvard University.
He could possibly become an honorary doctor! Some universities have given people that title; basically all of the academic curriculum, necessary attendance, and other requirements are waived and the title is bestowed. However, one may not refer to themselves as doctor (in speech or in letters or business cards), or tell others to call them doctor (though others may refer to them as such of their own choosing), nor privately practice medicine, law, psychology, etc., for money (i.e. one legally would not be allowed to lease a building and start up a private practice that admits clients for pay). This type of title has its limitations, and is usually given to those who make a substantial donation to a university that practices this, or it can be awarded to someone who has shown great knowledge or innovation in a specific field-usually something the person is interested in or practices-he could possibly be an honorary doctor of sociology, or philosophy, philanthropy, anthropology, or maybe Liberal Arts; I'm not really sure of the field, I'm just thinking of things that his knowledge can be applied to, and it seems to be in the realm of people, helping, understanding of culture, etc.

@@joem4664???
Wisdom does not always come with age. Age just ripens said wisdom.
“Desire is the root of all suffering” - Hindu i think
Buddhist
for the root of all evils is the love of money
“Money and Things have been the root of all EVIL” cigarette man got this shit right! Preach it!
I could listen to this guy all day, I wish him all the luck in the world.
Everyone agreeing with this man and saying how true what he's saying is and how much it means and he's a bright soul yet if they seen him on the streets walking towards them they'd cross the road shows how fake people are
Very true. It's easier to type the right thing to say, follow other comments, than to actually cross the street, and shake the man's hand.
ConSwob obviously, to normal folks he’s just a stranger dude we walk by amazing individuals every day doesn’t mean we’re fake we are just a disconnected society
But you making assumptions about people on the internet that you dont know is cool? Your the one that crosses the street fool.
that's because we judge others on the basis of how they present themselves to the world rather than the contents of their mind
ConSwob it also shows how gullible ppl are to follow man. As long as we choose to praise man and not the message, the results will always be the same. Either being let down and disappointed, or deceived. My point is ppl don’t even know this man, but they’re calling him a God for saying shit we should already know. I’m not knocking the man, because he’s super wise, I’m knocking the ppl not thinking for themselves
Smart man.
Identifying with material objects is an interesting psychological dilemma, it is basically a delusion on some level where identity becomes overly attached to external objects for different reasons. The world and the universe and in constant flux, constant change and there is nothing stopping it, resistance is futile. Get in the flow, change, adapt, enjoy the ride, nothing lasts forever.
enjoy the endless ride mafagas
He is one of the realest OG's on the channel...Real Talk. Stay Safe Everyone💕
angie Wize there is more of him?
@@EtrosSoul
yes I think there is. 😎
Respect ✊🏾 💙
God bless Cigarette Man he kept it all the way 💯
This was a gem. When people have nothing to gain from you they speak pure gold straight from their heart with no filters
I feel like lighting a cigarette, furrowing my brow and occasionally nodding
He's my FAV of all the interviews!!!!
E 7 mins to 💙✊🏾
He’s my favorite out of all the people you’ve interviewed. Very insightful and always a joy to listen to.
A Jack Yes 💙✊🏾
I notice the incorporation of many Buddhist tenets into this man's philosophy.
