      I already got a Helix mattress with Sam Collins’s code but if I hadn’t used his already I would use yours! I can attest that you will likely need someone’s help setting the mattress up (I purchased a queen size and it’s heavy) but once it’s set up it is AMAZING. The one I got is called “Dusk” if I remember correctly. It is their firmest mattress for heavy folks like me (I’m at about 300 lbs last I checked-I’m a big boy) but it is still softer than the traditional spring mattress with a pillow top I got about a decade ago that I am replacing. I got some kind of “heat dissipating” add-on that comes built onto the mattress and I don’t know how but it WORKS. I keep my house temp at a steady 70 Fahrenheit year-round because I have an aquarium in my house so I used to get some sweat under me sometimes but I am amazed at how well whatever they did to this mattress works. I do hope it lasts at least the full warranty’s 10 years but I doubt I’ll go traditional again when I need to replace this one.

    This. Was. INCREDIBLE. You may not know it, but you’ve made my day so much better from just this video. My mom took a pic of me today and posted in on social media and I tried not to but I was so in my head about how bad and fat I looked and how no one was going to like me and blah blah blah…then your video made me realize just how like…NOT REAL these things are. Like the effect they have is real because people believe them like you said, but the actual thing is an illusion. Arbitrary standards of beauty making me of worth or not is NOT REAL and I don’t have to buy in. Thank you thank you thank you for helping us compartmentalize these things and see them for what they are, helping us be free ♥️

  • @timeless_heritage
    @timeless_heritage 2 года назад +8

    Khadija has inspired me to write an essay here about the general public "Problem", "Misconception" of "Competence", it's "Effects", and maybe a "Solution?", for Clout.
    The obvious problem w/ clout & clout chasing:
    Current day context, that power/ money/ attention/ trust/ positive emotional association is sought after BUT without the actual effort into building the competence earned ability beforehand.
    "Misconception" of Power/ Clout:
    True power, is a bi-product of "competance", it's automatic.
    Whether it's your favourite live musician, comedian or preffered plummer or lawyer when one is needed, it's because you believe in their ability that you hand power/ money/ attention/ trust/ positive emotional association to them.
    That ability= "Competence" which brings "clout/ power" as a bi-product
    Power isn't bad, it's a tool, that can be used correctly or incorrectly depending on the wielder.
    The "Effects" of In-Competant Clout:
    A populus with growing resentment for the powerful because too many have gotten to that position without the competence that proves:
    - They earned that power
    - The know how to use that power for good
    "Solution"
    1) Do you want clout?
    Thats fine, just try to have a skillset of ability on the level of power you want to have. Using said power for good also helps.
    2) Don't want that feeling of betreyal when you find out someone was just a clout-chaser and/ or was abusing their power?
    Be mindful of who you trust, whether influencer, celebrity, politician, heck even your teachers and friends.
    Ask yourself about the validity of the role they are playing in your and other peoples lives.

    So glad you're back! I've been thinking of this a lot recently as I've been looking back on the 00's a lot, it's kind of like looking at a line from that point onwards to where we are today where the expectations of aesthetics have increased, where people have been encouraged to think of just the self, the move away from the collective. Hard to explain in just a couple of sentences but seriously I just love your work

    Oo love the video and love seeing your videos again!!! Also very impressive parody/recreation of a perfume ad, like down to the overusage of french, the whole black and white aesthetic, the dancing and general vibe. Very good!

    firstly 😍 wooow love seeing this channel thrive! YES! finally some good news! secondly you asked for philosophers, so here goes my nerdy self: Kant didnt think of beauty as an concept or illusion, but as the playful reflection of the structures of human consciousness and reason. He even thought that beauty has its own universal rules, because any human has a sense for beauty & said it cannot be explained by anything but itself (roughly speaking). Nietzsche was the one that took the next step as in calling our "truths", which also means our idea of true beauty, an illusion/concept that is only governed by acknoledged conventions. Then there is also feminist philosophy that renders those conventions "norms made by power hierarchies". This is of course only reaaaaaally condensed.
    Also this will surely get lost in all the lovely comments, but I wanted to try 🦄Lots of love to anyone who reads this & Happy Nowruz also!🌸💮🕊

      I thought I was the only one that felt this way. It feels like the production took over the essay part. I am definitely here for her thoughts and not for production. But it looks like they had a lot of fun making it.

      I felt the same way; but I appreciate the experimentation and it’s a good way to break up content. I think the content is a little lighter relative to some of the other content on Khadija’s channel, so this style might be good for heavier content. Either way it was a great effort and it did look fun creating/editing this

      Capitalism doesn't improve quality, it just manipulates perception. Whether or not this is a product to be consumed, purchased with time from an idea store, isn't as simple as editing and artistic parody.
