I've been watching you from the beginning, traveling with you and Jo. It's been a long time. You with the purple palace, in Mexico. Wow I'm going to miss you and your many languages. Life is taking you to many places. Have fun. 😢
This is not a read, DD. I'm glad these trips are teaching you new things and I know you're teaching a lot of people through your robust language courses. That said, some of the stuff you're learning on these trips (i.e-the swastika's original meaning in Eastern religion or some of the New Age stuff you discuss) is the sort of basic knowledge one learns in high school or undergrad philosophy, religion, political science, or psychology courses. My real point is to underscore the importance of staying in school and graduating. There are a lot of people on social media who extoll not going to or finishing college. My position remains one where autodidactic learning takes discipline. There's also the risk of misreading or misinterpreting a text. I never could've gotten through Kant, Husserl, Heidegger, Deleuze, Cortazar's Hopscotch or Nabokov's Pale Fire on my own without my professor (wtf is this poem? Butterflies and mountain-fountain... ahh okay). Guided instruction can eliminate the knowledge gaps and technical deficiencies that can occur through incomplete or insufficient learning (which, in turn, is part of what makes your language courses valuable).
@@got2bjosh+1 to everything you said Josh. To initial thought, I’m like “ok this man is European for sure.” Due to the nature of education you’re speaking of.. then, upon seeing your bio I see you’re NYC born and raised. I’m assuming NY educational system… which is extremely different than any other school system outside of any major city in the USA. For me? The textbook I used for earth science in the 7th grade, at a bilingual school in Dominican Republic, was the same textbook I was using in 9th grade in a small white town in Connecticut, USA. my parents bought a house, and so midway thru sophomore year of high school I transferred… to an inner city school in the same state. To my surprise, I noticed 11th graders using the same textbook I used in the 7th grade!! That’s when I took all AP & college credit courses. But let’s be honest, even in college, depending on what your majoring in, you’ll only be exposed to 1-2 of the philosophers and texts you have mentioned. International business and marketing grad here. The best education I received was at that private bilingual school in DR, and my semesters in Italy, Morocco, China, and a summer at the embassy of Paraguay and Cuba. God bless your educational path that exposed you to all of that. Unfortunately, that isn’t the reality for 70%++ of Americans in the public school system.
The production quality of these videos is truly stunning. Somehow Damon manages to be highly entertaining, reflective, and thought provoking while serving us a distilled version of these beautiful countries and what makes these different cultures fascinating. Hope you get some good rest soon, Damon! Looking forward to whatever you do next. 😊
The episodes you’ve been publishing this year have been SO incredible! Enjoy your well-deserved break✨sending you all the best to make your ideas come to fruition and can’t wait to see what you do next! thanks for sharing your energy Damon 🫶🏻
I was there with my parents, maybe 14 years ago, and fell so much in love with the city that I declared I wanted to be a Malaysian when I grew up. Sadly, I’ve chosen a different path
LETS GOOO KL 🇲🇾 nominating you for honorary taman paramount cafe girlie or bangsar coworking slayer. Have a good rest, and will miss the series! Also 🥳 for the queer malaysia representation and mentions! #tetapbangga ♡ 🏳️🌈
You have got to be kidding me Damon you’re in my city!!! Aaaaaaaa I want to meet you so bad. Been following you since your rapping in Cinque Terre days. And I went to Cinque Terre and many more places because of you. Hope you had a great time
Screaming crying throwing UP!! It’s amazing how you made KL look so beautiful in your shots. Hope you enjoyed your time in Malaysia (barring the extreme heat and humidity) and hope you’ll come back to explore other parts of my beautiful country, in particular all the great food we have! Sending love from London ❤
your youtube channel honestly is of the HIGHEST quality there is on this platform, I never saw one bad video of yours. entertaining, interesting, educating, visually aesthetic, humoristic and thought provoking... you definitely upped your game this season, looking forward to the next!!
You guys, we can all truthfully say we're being ghosted by Damon Dominique. What an honor 😆 P.S. Sooo excited for the Tokyo vlog, whenever it comes out!
I opened RUclips, saw the title of the video and somehow find it funny. Had to look twice who posted the video. Girl, ur in KL! I watch u like every weekend while I'm working in the office alone. Feels chaotic watching ur videos. A different perspective of a travel video!
Impeccable style, thumbnail, color correction, editing, personality. You are a ridiculous talent and you do it like no other. We will miss you... until the next one. Love you DD!
Ive been creeping for so long and the editing was just so amazing and clever and funny that i was like “time to show some respect and subscribe”. Gold standard really
this season was spectacular!!! color grading, sound effects, TYPOGRAPHY all amazing! can’t wait for the next one & wishing you all the best!! now that you’re in asian hoping you travel to taiwan too :-))
Omg I have to leave a comment after watching your videos for more than 3 years!aaaand I just went to Bali and KL in May as well! Such a coincidence 😅 will enjoy your new video now🎉
Every time I watch your videos I scroll down to check why you still don't have over a million subscribers already.. 💔 I love your videos so much! Cannot wait for the next series.
i've been studying and living in france for over a year now so seeing this made me deeeeeeply homesick omg :')))) hope you had a great time in malaysia!!
I wish we had more of these videos! I love seeing the city - raw through the eyes of genuine people my age ⭐️ instead of doctored travel channel must see sites
Hey Damon!!! I’m so so happy you visited Malaysia ahhhhhhhh 😍 I just wanted to let you know that your Berlin documentary changed my life ✨ I visited the city & fell in love, instantly! I’m about to move to Germany soon & I want to say, Terima Kasih Damon D!!! ❤️ Keep doing you, you’re such an inspiration & LOTSA LOVE!!!! 🫶🏼

Just wanna say I discovered you during the pandemic and your videos really had a positive impact on my mental health & reinvigorated my zest for traveling and culture. Team Damon for life! Love your videos, love your book. Even tho i am a whole ass generation older than you I can totally l relate to your existential rants. Always so happy to see you pop up on my RUclips page. 💖
You haaave been traveling a lot, I was actually getting worried for your sanity 😆. I was like "mmkay, Damon caught the travel bug, and it's on crack." But it was adventure after adventure, and I loved it allllll
The editing holy shit! its sparked an inspiration in me that I didn't even know I had, it felt contemplative and moody in all the right ways while remaining so effortlessly entertaining.Thank you for this type of content, FOR FREE?!.
One of my favorite cities ever. Loved the mixed cultures vibe of the country. 🫶 That view of the Petronas Towers from the Sky Lounge is one the best 🙌🏼👏
This was so great! I’ll miss the travel videos but I’m so excited for what you have in store for us! Go Damon!! Can’t wait for you to have a show already!! ❤🎉
You’re so informative! I’ve been to Malaysia but learnt a lot through your video somethings i didn’t pick up when I was there. Great video as always! All the best on your break will miss you 😢 don’t be gone for too long Damon!
come back to singapore for longer pleaaaase it may look sterile but there is so much more going on than it seems. also the sterility itself is interesting honestly! if you need a tour guide hit me up ✨
Another wonderful “stream of consciousness” vlog and I’m so grateful to be hanging on and along for the ride. Now you deserve to step away for a little bit to regret and recharge. Enjoy 👍🙏😎❤️
Damon you should come to South Africa, also a really diverse country. Has its challenges but a persevering nature 🇿🇦 also obsessed with your video editing and style 😍
Damon, amazing editing as always. Every time I see your videos pop up it makes me so excited to travel. My first one-way backpack trip starts in KL and I'm beyond stoked to see this pop up! Hope we cross paths on our travels someday
