Would you lock your hair?... ik your hair is curly but so is lot of black hair. I'm not saying you should but I am curious what you'd look like with it. Try it one day maybe... 🤷🏾♂️ anyway on with video
Brittany is like an ancient librarian that disappears once you learn what you need or find the book you're looking for and leaves you to read. She reminds me of the owl from Avatar: The Last Airbender sometimes
When you were talking about those men and how they generalize all/most women as gold diggers and how they live in a bubble it really hit me of the “if you’re looking for something to get angry about you’re going to find it” If you were to put them in a room full of women from different backgrounds and goals in life they would only seek out and focus on the gold diggers and generalize all the woman in the room as a gold digger. I’m just beginning to learn please help me if I’m not catching something.
@@daq8596 I'm only 5 mins in so idk if she directly mentions him, but that's exactly who I thought abt when I read this comment. Not only Aba, but the Aba & Preach comment section is SO.. predictable. I really like them but its disappointing how they stick to the moral outrage-y, low hanging fruit when they could put out so much more thought provoking & less blatantly biased content
“It’s wrong to come to the wrong conclusion and then ride it out like it’s the truth.” That is amazingly profound. Because how many times do I do this? Too many - but I’ve been working on admitting I can’t know everything and then deciding where to go from there.
A note on non-Black people wanting to wear Black styles... personally I don't care and most of the Black people in my circle don't. It's more that if people are going to wear our natural styles please speak up when you hear Black people being denigrated for wearing those same styles. But I definitely know ignorant Black people that just want to gatekeep our culture to gatekeep. And like you said that section of the Black community just happens to be the loudest. Its unfortunate.
Along with therapy, meditation, and self reflection, listening to your thoughts has changed the trajectory of my life. Like I'd be struggling for the last ten months in a four headspace. Severe anxiety (from CSA PTSD that was unaddressed) and jadedness, but an understanding of how much I love people and how interesting I find them. And watching your videos just tipped me over where I'm essentially waking up everyday with the scenery around me glowing, unconditional love for most people, and the ability to discern the truth depending on the situation. Love it. I know I've been commenting on ur videos a lot, you're just very personable and amicable, which I'm sure u understand
(I deliver autoparts from Tacoma to Olympia to Bainbridge Island to Seattle so I have a lot of time to listen to podcasts, but it's hard to find consistently good ones)
Okay, what did I just stumble upon? Totally love this. Going to jump into this world of 2s, 3s 5s … I need to find out what number I am. I think I’m still a 2 but not sure if I want to be. 😳
If I may say from one stranger in the cosmic to another, I hope you make great strives in your journey of discovery! And if I may just share some words of encouragement, don't be afraid of what truths you may unravel about the internal and external reality that we currently existence, for they can give you the opportunities to be the best version of yourself and give yourself grace when you find you're in a tuff spot and that you're not alone out there!
I'm still not sure yet where I would fall on the levels. I feel that I understand at a 4-5 level, but I also acknowledge that that may come from a place of overestimating my own understanding. I like talking about philosophy and I have a friend that often feels overwhelmed if I bring out certain topics too quickly. They are undoubtedly a 2 and feel very defined by hating the right and conservatives. I asked them one day "if you feel so strongly towards helping and understanding people (in the social justice type of way), why don't you do wish so much harm onto these people?" That question really messed with their emotions and they asked me to refrain from questions like that, at least for now.
I’m totally a 2 and I’m completely cool with that. I’m still in my 20s and I’ve got a lot of life to live. I fully believe in mindfulness and gratitude, just enjoying where you are at in your journey and moment. I look at my dad who is 70 and has clearly reached Uncle Iroh status. I feel ok with looking to others for answers. I’m still learning and growing. I just want to be a productive and comfortable human who knows how to be compassionate. Why shouldn’t that be enough? Maybe I’ll reach enlightenment or maybe all I’ll ever be is good to the people in my bubble. Either way, I’m content in my place at this moment.
I'm really glad to hear a different perspective on "red pill" stuff like some of Fresh and Fit types. Honestly it did feel daunting to hear all these conversations, it makes me wonder if maybe love marriages aren't very common, can we even find love or are relationships just a lot of suffering? I don't know how to explain it, the way they talk to each other just gave me a bad vibe.
I 100% agree with what you’ve said. I also have found myself questioning whether I, as a woman, was an anomaly, since most sources will point to the “90% of women/men are like this”. Being raised in a more conservative Muslim household, I KNEW I grew up in a specific type of bubble. I appreciated Brittany’s perspective on bubbles because it shows that literally everyone is in a specific type of bubble, some just don’t realize this fact and some bubbles are just louder in the social conscious than others (squeaky wheel gets the grease kind of thing). I’m glad to know I’m not an anomaly, just living in a different kind of bubble!
"deception, disgrace, he looked for trouble the moment he came" our brains literally work the same bruh. I think the same thing when I hear that word 🤣
Idk just one thing, I think it's pretty classist to say if we don't like America to just pack up and leave, and that we must like the patriarchy if we stay.. A lot of people are too poor to move at all, let alone out of country. It's not a super realistic thing.
Hey Lexa, I think that's a common fear for people, but of course my parents lived it, both coming to America with their parents with no money and a brand new start. Saddam wouldn't let people take their credentials with them. So even family of ours that were doctors in Iraq had to start all over in America, or New Zealand, or anywhere that would take us. I think immigrating to a new place is more realistic than world peace, or stopping racism, because it's one of our greatest accomplishments as a species. We try so hard to work towards the unrealistic and that's that's humans are amazing. Humans are so cool, we all came from one place and all ended up all over the world. I love our ability to really change our futures. I don't think of solutions as "one size fits all" ❤ I hope others can continue to find ways to change their lives, that work for them. It's not perfect, it's life ♡
@@starynights9769 There are layers to this thing. I think statistically the poorest and most desperate are most likely to suffer and die. Those who can and want to move are usually those in the middle class. The wealthiest are more likely to have access and money to do whatever they want while the middle class scramble and the poorest suffer the most. Brain drain tends to be a problem in oppressive, corrupt societies because the least educated with the fewest means and access are usually stuck, while educated, highly skilled people and artists flee.
@@Camp68 I'm an Africa and i have seen people take deadly trips through the sew. Yes there are many layers to this but the most desperate do move. It's definitely not a luxury but a necessity to them
@@starynights9769 I'm not saying moving is a luxury. I'm a Haitian immigrant- my family moved out of necessity and it was a struggle. I also know that there are a lot poorer families who didn't even have the means to move. It's layered.
Whether an actor in a play or a character in a novel, we all have stories worth sharing and appreciating. I think a good question to ask is, how profound of a change do you want to undergo?
Me at the beginning of the video: "What're these 2's she keeps talking about? 2C's? 2B's?" Me at the end of the video: "These fucking 2's, man. When will they learn!"
I always think of how enlightenment will feel for me as sort of an extension of Walter freemans chaos theory, the idea that consciousness is a multitude of oscillating sine waves of electrical activity measured from different areas of the brain synchronising with each other at different moments, and when the brain encounters the unknown certain areas of the brain will exhibit electrical activity in a sort of ordered chaos, sort of like the swinging of a double pendulum. I always feel like enlightenment will feel like the ultimate synchronisation and congruence of all those waves
Omg girl I wish I could talk to u in person lol I love having these type of conversations but its soo hard finding anyone that can conversate without arguing or seeming completely lost and bored lol loved loved loved this podcast 💜💜
You're so sweet Sarah♡ I actually do talk to people by offering calls through patreon ♡ It helps keep the content going and allows one on one time. Check it out the calls are totally private and meant to continue conversation. Www.patreon.com/brittanysimon ♡ Have a great day!
Just right off the bat, the whole look you have rn is impeccable 👌 I can't get over how clean, pretty and organized your podcasts have been looking recently. 💕 truly a treat.
Wow you blew my mind. I just watched your levels video and it is something I have been searching for for Soo so long. I always have tried to make a system in my head on how to understand people. And I always felt like people had different levels of enlightenment. I had my basic form of understand that being there are three types of people the ones who are shallow (level 1) then there are ppl I can talk to and relate somewhat (level 2) but after that I'm like.... I don't know where I fit in. Because I cannot connect with alot of ppl because I'm so in my head about philosophy and how the world works. I want to know how it feels to b in other's bodies because it would increase my understanding. So I would say I am in between level 4 and level 5. Because I finally am ok with my body and self. But sometimes I think I fall into level 4 because I am doom and gloom at times. I feel like I'm so close to being a level 5 anyways. It is lonely a bit because ppl dont really get my philosophy.
This topic is so interesting, I thought I was a 2 but then in a different video you said 4's wish they could be 2's because 2's just are, and then if clicked im a 4 and it's a little rough out here.
No, most are fake. I have a cactus that lives by my window that's real but you can't see it. It's behind the curtains haha And the plants on my table is real. My cat keeps eating all my plants 😭 So, I keep about 7 or so downstairs growing and outside in the garden there's a few things. I'm learning how to be a plant mom. Let's hope I don't kill everything 🙏
@@BrittanySimon ahh I love it, it still looks great either way! More green is always better everywhere 💚 and I happen to have a bunch of plants and a bunch of cats also! I have found that just putting the plants in places they cannot reach is best. They did kill a few at first though for sure. Another thing we have tried is put skewers all over the plant pointy side up, and they usually avoid it for awhile until they want nothing to do with it 🙂
Have you read William James book: Varieties of Religious Experience? I find a good chunk of it and the struggle he describes to perhaps be along the same lines as your concept of the 4s. Would totally enjoy discussing comparing your observational philosophy to my own, it’s interesting that others have come up with similar things. So def considering your patreon 🤙🏻
The steps you talk about reminds me of fight club and his awaking from one place to another. Lol but it’s one of my favorites so maybe I’m just trying to see it haha
I liked what you said regarding balancing people on a pedestal. Putting people on a pedestal is a totally human thing. Our brains love to take shortcuts to reduce cognitive load. We do it without even thinking a lot of the time. Putting someone on a pedestal can be used to reduce cognitive load. When we put someone on a pedestal, it means that we value something about them (ethics, morals, looks, power, etc.) and because we value their input, we trust it, we then conclude we do not need to think as hard because this person thinks "this and this" and I trust their judgement. It absolutely makes sense. Having to analyze the entire world piece by piece alone requires a lot of brainpower. Though, we all value some opinions more than others. For example, family and close friends. But at the end of the day we all make our own decisions. We make decisions based on the information and conclusions we have at that moment. While some people are bound to be on a "higher pedestal" than others, it is important to know what you need first and foremost. No one knows exactly what you want but you, but sometimes when things are fuzzy, it helps to talk to someone you trust. Is that is the balance maybe? Realize that, hopefully, the people you have on a pedestal are there for a good reason, but you cannot have them too high lest you forget how to think for yourself. Lotta rambling, but if there's one thing I've learned, it is that all philosophy comes from ass 😂
Hey I was going to make a playlist of videos you've made on your levels system and before I realized you had made one I had started going through your videos. Anyway I realized this one isn't included in your playlist "The Levels by Brittany Simon." So even though I haven't watched this video yet I thought I should comment and let you know!
I will preface this with saying I am happy to be a 2, which I believe I am. When I was younger (in my teens), I would contemplate the reality of my life. Like, do I really exist, or am I somehow thinking myself into reality. It was scary, and I haven't done this in a long time. For example, like the Matrix. Except instead of this life just being different from the one we're currently experiencing... it's just nothing. It's hard to explain. Is this a flicker of enlightenment, or was I just over thinking my life and/or what life is?
When I hear you talking about the levels I always wonder where I am... sometimes I think I could be 4 or 3 and sometimes I think 2, maybe not 1. Sometimes I think I'm not a 2 because, as you sometimes say, we always want to be better, and I want to think myself highly (sometimes)... I don't know... When you explain your philosophy to a 2, do they accept that they are a 2? It is hard for them to say it? Maybe I'll keep wondering about me for a long time but I was curious about this.
Hey Maria ♡ If the 2s are very religious, they think it's a fun exploration into why God is real. My religious family loves talking about philosophy and theology. But they will never leave their bubbles because they would have to "sin" in order to do so. So, they'll always think The Levels are "a fun and silly way to explore." My secular 2s are often offended because they want to be seen as very "smart." Ignoring the fact that a rocket scientist could be a 2. So, instead of debunking my philosophy in which ranking would not be needed, instead they strive to be 5s, which is odd to me. In one way, I think they should be more cynical and make sure I'm not bullshitting. On the other hand, they must understand me enough to see themselves in The Levels. So, the struggle can vary♡ The 2s in my life that are chill LOVE being 2s. They'll say: "I wanna be a two so I can still complain about the issues of the 2s." The 3s I know who are struggling are heavily debating staying 2s, there is a lot of peace in the 2 world and they are more likely to find mates there.
You're not wrong. Did you know as embryos we start developing from the anus* outward? We were all just a ssholes at one point, literally. Haha. *see deuterostomes for more info lol.
In terms of hoarding styles whether clothing or hair, would you consider it a 2 mindset if you personally would not do or wear certain things because you want to more or less respect the opinions of cultures who say it’s not for me?
the bit about 4s and 5s knowing that anything can happen and people can do anything, instantly resonated😂 i see the 4 completely in me from what I've already been through, but the five is interesting me now because i feel a little different lately but i don't know for now what it means to change like that. feels like im already one only felt like this for a day tho😂 i just need to find out whats it like.
Love your channel. Love your content. I do think the 5 level idea might be too simplistic, and I don't think an enlightened person openly compares themselves to others.
I'm struggling with the concept as well. I've watched all the videos about it and it just sounds like enlightened centricism ascended as a philosophical theory. It is interesting nonetheless.
@@Camp68 Definitely interesting. That's why I can't stop watching her videos. My understanding of enlightenment means that you've removed yourself from the cycle of suffering through detachment. I don't see that in Brittany just as I don't see it in Russell Brand. Enlightened people don't make videos about being enlightened, but I also acknowledge I may be missing something.
@@BeyondSeattleEats I don't think you're missing anything. These people want to feel as though they belong to a higher and more sublime realm of existence, far from the teeming "unenlightened" masses. The only thing enlightenment grants is the license to be condescending lol.
@@BeyondSeattleEats I’m new to this channel, so I don’t want to make too many assumptions, but... The problem with perceiving ourselves as “enlightened” is that we don’t know what we don’t know. Every time we climb some mountain of discovery (or traverse some deep abyss) and arrive at the summit, it can feel like enlightenment for a moment, but if we release our pride to look around, we realize there are other mountains with higher summits. There’s always more. I saw Brittany comment elsewhere that belief in a Creator God is level 2 thinking. Maybe inasmuch as religious dogma goes, yeah...but until you’ve sat with or spoken to that entity (those spirits), you don’t know. Same goes for recognizing the fractal patterns in human behavior or creative output as it reflects higher dimensional realities/the spirit realms: plenty of people have profound insight into that realm of awareness, but are very lost (or binary) in terms of human interactions. I sense Brittany is herself a level 2 in terms of the Big Picture, but level 5 in terms of the Earthly paradigm. We’re all at different “levels” concerning various aspects of consciousness. An intriguing framework, just applied to a subset of this infinite, quantum reality.
Any chance you'd be willing to watch and talk about Bo Burnhams special on Netflix called "Inside". Its very sarcastic and "introspective", and kindof dark. Although if I'm being honest you'd probably watch it and think only a 2 would find it deep lol. I recently stumbled across your podcast and I'd love to hear how you analyze and or think about it. I find your commentary and theorizing fascinating to listen to!
I saw one part of it and thought it was very good. My sister is coming to visit me in July. We are going to watch it together ♡ I'm sure I'll talk about it.
When I look at happy people, I want to break something and yell in their faces "Stop lying!! This is all pointless and you know it." But I also know that's a me problem, so I think that puts me at a level 4. But there's also peace to be found in social reciprocation: speaking and being heard, listening and comprehending. I don't really have a point, just high and thinking... The peace of level 5 sounds nice but the anger of level 4 feels useful if I can find the right target... I don't know. Back to smoking for now...
@@BrittanySimon I speak with the hope that I will be heard and understood but does that mean when I'm misunderstood, I was heard wrong? Maybe. I find mutually agreed upon terms to help. I am also looking for my tribe. Give me a minute, s'il vous plait, I have something I want to ask you.
Before I watch the video: omggg I was literally just wondering this. That if most of the world is built of 2s does that mean that some people just aren’t meant to be 5s ?
Eveyone should seek out their joy, no matter if they're a 2 or a 5, everything else will fall into place. Its not about destiny, its about not forcing an outcome that was never going to lead to joy 🥰
It’s very interesting to consider how social media reflects & distributes 2 bubbles. Algorithmic consistency is easy to come by. What number is Zizek, if you had to speculate based on his philosophy?
Every time I listen to one of these informative videos I learned something and this time was no different , what some don't understand is that you can learn from the experiences of others . listening is so valuable provided you already know who you are.👍
I would love to read a manifesto for the levels. It would be amazing to make notes in the margins of this philosophy. I'm fascinated. I've no idea where i am on the levels, maybe a 3 or 4, but man i have some 2 moments too! I'd say I'm moving towards a better life, but that has nothing to do with money, more personal growth. I often question statistics, like generally there are groups: male, female, non-binary or prefer not to say. Those aren't enough categories, but a gender fluid person might say one of thes because they're closer to the way they identify, thus they aren't represented clearly. The same happens with race, or Likert scales of "strongly agree/agree/neither agree or disagree/ disagree/strongly disagree" which don't give reasons behind choices or give clear cut markers of to what extent a person agrees, maybe you only slightly agree, or feel unsure... and what about "i agree, however.. "? I can't relate to celebrity really, but i respect intelligence, so i do get a buzz when someone i admire responds to me or gives positive feedback.
Hey Brittany long time no see. Do you or did you happen to read books by bertrand russell or ludwig wittgenstein? I was just curious if you find them overly nit picky or trivial.
I guess I’m asking from the place as a content 2 who agrees and thinks a lot in what you say about 5s. It just sounds like it takes a lot of energy to elevate to that place of a 5 when you can get those same views and peace with the world as a describe content 2.
1:24:22 Why is it hoarding culture and not protecting that culture from people who don’t know how to respect it? 1:26:20 If being enlightened didn’t matter, why did it help you to achieve your joy, why did you have to leave the world of the 2?
Great questions Charles! 1) Humans can both protect and/or hoard. In the world of the 2s, they should protect (to some extent their cultures), and absolutely share their cultures, so people will see the beauty and want to be like them in small ways. Culture is so subjective, but the idea is that humans create rituals, traditions and pass it down. It's all made up and continued through nostalgia. It's a beautiful thing. I love having a group of people around the world that I feel connected to. Culture can also pass horrible traditions down that eventually get updated, as they should, which begs a question, if parts of culture change, what is culture? Number 2s depend on that consistency though, so culture is a good foundation for them to base their lives on, even if they have options to change...they won't. Often these humans are most resistant to change as well, clinging to their old ways because their identities are in that culture. 2) I think humans who are meant to be 5s will have no choice but to move forward in it. Every 5 that I know was the same way. Some humans just get to the point where they need more than the bubble they were given and more than the bubbles provided. No one is the same, when it comes to the detials, we are all going to have different paths♡
Most people are 2s. Literally most people. So, neoliberal or not, probably a 2. No issue with that. 2s are fighting for their immediate world and they are often good people just focused on their bubble. I don't know who she is ♡ I don't have an opinion.

And as far as any American walking down the street YOU ARE WHITE! You don't look middle eastern. And sadly it's someone else's perception of you that generates their reaction towards you whether that's racist or not; So, let's not act like you have the same experience as most middle eastern people.
Hi Brittany I was wondering if you would be interested in making a video about gender, being non-binary and why do some people want to be called “they”. This is a topic has been on my mind since I have found it in context of people commenting about Trisha and using “they” but in my head for a person like Trisha being called they almost makes no sense.. and in the sentence form when talking it can be quite confusing to know who is who. I have met some other people as well who choose to be called they and sure it might work for English but it might be weirder for other languages as the whole sentence has to switch to plural and in that case it will still be gendered (for example Slavic or Roman languages) so are they ok with requesting this treatment only when they speak to others in English?? I really don’t get it. Also quite frankly I’m so annoyed for some reason with this trend where cis people put their pronouns in the bio. Just don’t understand why it’s becoming mainstream when it literally doesn’t need to. Niche people can be niche why is everyone else stating the obvious? Hey I’m very sorry if someone gets triggered I’m just over here trying to understand and I don’t think I will be able to understand if I’m not honest. Please if you would like to share your opinions and some good materials I would appreciate it a lot!
@@BrittanySimon I watched him discuss his book and was actually interested it because he’s done so much crazy stuff but was curious where he might land on your scale if you had to place him.
@@Jvhh9 I would like to read his book before I really form an opinion but I've seen him talk to Jordan Peterson and some others. I would say at least a 2A, he has political goals and knows enough about the world. He's interviews are calculated and well done. He knows who he is and what image he wants to convey. He has a clear sense of self. Strong willed and introspective. Could be a 3 or could be a really calculated 2A. Could even be a really odd 5 but doubt it, but I really need to read his book to know. He hangs out with the Sadguru's of the world, who I also like but am not sure of in terms of my levels. They both cling to creator concepts or religious concepts which is a 2 action normally. I would like like speak to them one day for sure.
I watched the levels video and feel sad now cause I think I might be a 1 :/ I'm nearly 27, studying and trying to get into college after dropping out years ago from a major I hated and now just working part-time as a cleaner and being partly supported by the government for housing etc. I have dealt with mental illness (mostly depressive episodes and general anxiety) since my teens and have started to develop OCD symptoms cause I feel so out of control. I'm always unhappy and unsatisfied and am currently not contributing more to society than I am taking resources from it and definitely am barely functional at best
It is incredibly offensive that you equate being a feminist with an ailment one needs to seek therapy for. You contradict yourself over and over again. It's manipulative.
@@BrittanySimon It starts at 26:10 when you’re talking about the world of the 2s being stable, you give an example about how religion can’t provide an objective truth then start to give another example by signifying “let’s say you’re black” around 27:21 and go into into an anecdote about an old co worker who is black and I can’t figure out where you were going with that
@@Christinaaahhhify Sorry, my brain is odd sometimes, I was making the point that her expirence and mine overlapped enough for her to be able to communicate to me what to do next and she doesn't even know how much she's impacted me. The point wasn't about race, per se, more like life expirence. I think when I hear race i think politics, but her blackness isn't political, it's more like spiritual, like my middle easterness is more than the politics of my people. Sorry, I sometimes ramble and I'm sure I could have said it much better ♡
@@Christinaaahhhify Also, she is biracial (white and black) so that connected us in that "not black enough, not white enough way." I also think that's interesting ♡

(I deliver autoparts from Tacoma to Olympia to Bainbridge Island to Seattle so I have a lot of time to listen to podcasts, but it's hard to find consistently good ones)
Totally agree with your observations on Aba & Preach.
Okay, what did I just stumble upon? Totally love this. Going to jump into this world of 2s, 3s 5s … I need to find out what number I am. I think I’m still a 2 but not sure if I want to be. 😳
If I may say from one stranger in the cosmic to another, I hope you make great strives in your journey of discovery! And if I may just share some words of encouragement, don't be afraid of what truths you may unravel about the internal and external reality that we currently existence, for they can give you the opportunities to be the best version of yourself and give yourself grace when you find you're in a tuff spot and that you're not alone out there!
Haha I have the same experience
I'm still not sure yet where I would fall on the levels. I feel that I understand at a 4-5 level, but I also acknowledge that that may come from a place of overestimating my own understanding.
I like talking about philosophy and I have a friend that often feels overwhelmed if I bring out certain topics too quickly. They are undoubtedly a 2 and feel very defined by hating the right and conservatives. I asked them one day "if you feel so strongly towards helping and understanding people (in the social justice type of way), why don't you do wish so much harm onto these people?"
That question really messed with their emotions and they asked me to refrain from questions like that, at least for now.
You're a 4. I hope to get there as well within the next few years.
I’m totally a 2 and I’m completely cool with that. I’m still in my 20s and I’ve got a lot of life to live. I fully believe in mindfulness and gratitude, just enjoying where you are at in your journey and moment. I look at my dad who is 70 and has clearly reached Uncle
Iroh status. I feel ok with looking to others for answers. I’m still learning and growing. I just want to be a productive and comfortable human who knows how to be compassionate. Why shouldn’t that be enough? Maybe I’ll reach enlightenment or maybe all I’ll ever be is good to the people in my bubble. Either way, I’m content in my place at this moment.
Love this Emily ♡ Your dad sounds great 🥰

I'm really glad to hear a different perspective on "red pill" stuff like some of Fresh and Fit types. Honestly it did feel daunting to hear all these conversations, it makes me wonder if maybe love marriages aren't very common, can we even find love or are relationships just a lot of suffering?
I don't know how to explain it, the way they talk to each other just gave me a bad vibe.
I 100% agree with what you’ve said. I also have found myself questioning whether I, as a woman, was an anomaly, since most sources will point to the “90% of women/men are like this”. Being raised in a more conservative Muslim household, I KNEW I grew up in a specific type of bubble. I appreciated Brittany’s perspective on bubbles because it shows that literally everyone is in a specific type of bubble, some just don’t realize this fact and some bubbles are just louder in the social conscious than others (squeaky wheel gets the grease kind of thing).
I’m glad to know I’m not an anomaly, just living in a different kind of bubble!

Idk just one thing, I think it's pretty classist to say if we don't like America to just pack up and leave, and that we must like the patriarchy if we stay.. A lot of people are too poor to move at all, let alone out of country. It's not a super realistic thing.
Hey Lexa,
I think that's a common fear for people, but of course my parents lived it, both coming to America with their parents with no money and a brand new start.
Saddam wouldn't let people take their credentials with them. So even family of ours that were doctors in Iraq had to start all over in America, or New Zealand, or anywhere that would take us.
I think immigrating to a new place is more realistic than world peace, or stopping racism, because it's one of our greatest accomplishments as a species.
We try so hard to work towards the unrealistic and that's that's humans are amazing.
Humans are so cool, we all came from one place and all ended up all over the world. I love our ability to really change our futures.
I don't think of solutions as "one size fits all" ❤
I hope others can continue to find ways to change their lives, that work for them.
It's not perfect, it's life ♡
I had nothing when i moved across the world to migrate. Statistics refute your claim. The poorest and the most desperate are the most likely to move.
@@starynights9769 There are layers to this thing. I think statistically the poorest and most desperate are most likely to suffer and die. Those who can and want to move are usually those in the middle class. The wealthiest are more likely to have access and money to do whatever they want while the middle class scramble and the poorest suffer the most. Brain drain tends to be a problem in oppressive, corrupt societies because the least educated with the fewest means and access are usually stuck, while educated, highly skilled people and artists flee.
@@Camp68 I'm an Africa and i have seen people take deadly trips through the sew. Yes there are many layers to this but the most desperate do move. It's definitely not a luxury but a necessity to them
@@starynights9769 I'm not saying moving is a luxury. I'm a Haitian immigrant- my family moved out of necessity and it was a struggle. I also know that there are a lot poorer families who didn't even have the means to move. It's layered.

I always think of how enlightenment will feel for me as sort of an extension of Walter freemans chaos theory, the idea that consciousness is a multitude of oscillating sine waves of electrical activity measured from different areas of the brain synchronising with each other at different moments, and when the brain encounters the unknown certain areas of the brain will exhibit electrical activity in a sort of ordered chaos, sort of like the swinging of a double pendulum. I always feel like enlightenment will feel like the ultimate synchronisation and congruence of all those waves
We are gonna need a pod for every level
Have you observed a pattern between people with neurodivergent brains, such as autism, reaching enlightenment easier, or quicker than 2s?

Just right off the bat, the whole look you have rn is impeccable 👌 I can't get over how clean, pretty and organized your podcasts have been looking recently. 💕 truly a treat.
Wow you blew my mind. I just watched your levels video and it is something I have been searching for for Soo so long. I always have tried to make a system in my head on how to understand people. And I always felt like people had different levels of enlightenment. I had my basic form of understand that being there are three types of people the ones who are shallow (level 1) then there are ppl I can talk to and relate somewhat (level 2) but after that I'm like.... I don't know where I fit in. Because I cannot connect with alot of ppl because I'm so in my head about philosophy and how the world works. I want to know how it feels to b in other's bodies because it would increase my understanding. So I would say I am in between level 4 and level 5. Because I finally am ok with my body and self. But sometimes I think I fall into level 4 because I am doom and gloom at times. I feel like I'm so close to being a level 5 anyways. It is lonely a bit because ppl dont really get my philosophy.
This topic is so interesting, I thought I was a 2 but then in a different video you said 4's wish they could be 2's because 2's just are, and then if clicked im a 4 and it's a little rough out here.
I am so glad I recently found your content! Question, are all of the plants in your background real? Including the ivy around your microphone?
No, most are fake. I have a cactus that lives by my window that's real but you can't see it. It's behind the curtains haha And the plants on my table is real.
My cat keeps eating all my plants 😭 So, I keep about 7 or so downstairs growing and outside in the garden there's a few things.
I'm learning how to be a plant mom. Let's hope I don't kill everything 🙏
@@BrittanySimon ahh I love it, it still looks great either way! More green is always better everywhere 💚 and I happen to have a bunch of plants and a bunch of cats also! I have found that just putting the plants in places they cannot reach is best. They did kill a few at first though for sure. Another thing we have tried is put skewers all over the plant pointy side up, and they usually avoid it for awhile until they want nothing to do with it 🙂
She watched the lion king 2 . She’s my people . “Disgraaaaaace”

Have you read William James book: Varieties of Religious Experience? I find a good chunk of it and the struggle he describes to perhaps be along the same lines as your concept of the 4s.
Would totally enjoy discussing comparing your observational philosophy to my own, it’s interesting that others have come up with similar things. So def considering your patreon 🤙🏻
The steps you talk about reminds me of fight club and his awaking from one place to another. Lol but it’s one of my favorites so maybe I’m just trying to see it haha
I liked what you said regarding balancing people on a pedestal.
Putting people on a pedestal is a totally human thing. Our brains love to take shortcuts to reduce cognitive load. We do it without even thinking a lot of the time. Putting someone on a pedestal can be used to reduce cognitive load. When we put someone on a pedestal, it means that we value something about them (ethics, morals, looks, power, etc.) and because we value their input, we trust it, we then conclude we do not need to think as hard because this person thinks "this and this" and I trust their judgement.
It absolutely makes sense. Having to analyze the entire world piece by piece alone requires a lot of brainpower.
Though, we all value some opinions more than others. For example, family and close friends.
But at the end of the day we all make our own decisions. We make decisions based on the information and conclusions we have at that moment. While some people are bound to be on a "higher pedestal" than others, it is important to know what you need first and foremost. No one knows exactly what you want but you, but sometimes when things are fuzzy, it helps to talk to someone you trust. Is that is the balance maybe? Realize that, hopefully, the people you have on a pedestal are there for a good reason, but you cannot have them too high lest you forget how to think for yourself.
Lotta rambling, but if there's one thing I've learned, it is that all philosophy comes from ass 😂
Hey I was going to make a playlist of videos you've made on your levels system and before I realized you had made one I had started going through your videos. Anyway I realized this one isn't included in your playlist "The Levels by Brittany Simon." So even though I haven't watched this video yet I thought I should comment and let you know!
Thank you!!
@@BrittanySimon of course. I love your work!!
@38:52 uhm… how dare you unlock a forgotten memory of watching Lion King 2 like 1 time 😂
I will preface this with saying I am happy to be a 2, which I believe I am.
When I was younger (in my teens), I would contemplate the reality of my life. Like, do I really exist, or am I somehow thinking myself into reality. It was scary, and I haven't done this in a long time.
For example, like the Matrix. Except instead of this life just being different from the one we're currently experiencing... it's just nothing. It's hard to explain.
Is this a flicker of enlightenment, or was I just over thinking my life and/or what life is?
When I hear you talking about the levels I always wonder where I am... sometimes I think I could be 4 or 3 and sometimes I think 2, maybe not 1. Sometimes I think I'm not a 2 because, as you sometimes say, we always want to be better, and I want to think myself highly (sometimes)... I don't know... When you explain your philosophy to a 2, do they accept that they are a 2? It is hard for them to say it? Maybe I'll keep wondering about me for a long time but I was curious about this.
Hey Maria ♡ If the 2s are very religious, they think it's a fun exploration into why God is real. My religious family loves talking about philosophy and theology.
But they will never leave their bubbles because they would have to "sin" in order to do so.
So, they'll always think The Levels are "a fun and silly way to explore."
My secular 2s are often offended because they want to be seen as very "smart." Ignoring the fact that a rocket scientist could be a 2.
So, instead of debunking my philosophy in which ranking would not be needed, instead they strive to be 5s, which is odd to me. In one way, I think they should be more cynical and make sure I'm not bullshitting.
On the other hand, they must understand me enough to see themselves in The Levels.
So, the struggle can vary♡
The 2s in my life that are chill LOVE being 2s. They'll say: "I wanna be a two so I can still complain about the issues of the 2s."
The 3s I know who are struggling are heavily debating staying 2s, there is a lot of peace in the 2 world and they are more likely to find mates there.
Where (or what book can I read) can I learn more about these bubbles/levels….? This video caught my attention.

Did you know as embryos we start developing from the anus* outward? We were all just a ssholes at one point, literally. Haha.
*see deuterostomes for more info lol.
In terms of hoarding styles whether clothing or hair, would you consider it a 2 mindset if you personally would not do or wear certain things because you want to more or less respect the opinions of cultures who say it’s not for me?
Michael Warner's university is pronounced Rut-gers. I had to look this up, as I knew you were referring to a local school.
the bit about 4s and 5s knowing that anything can happen and people can do anything, instantly resonated😂 i see the 4 completely in me from what I've already been through, but the five is interesting me now because i feel a little different lately but i don't know for now what it means to change like that. feels like im already one only felt like this for a day tho😂 i just need to find out whats it like.

You gave me allllll the epiphanies I needed today
Love your channel. Love your content. I do think the 5 level idea might be too simplistic, and I don't think an enlightened person openly compares themselves to others.
I'm struggling with the concept as well. I've watched all the videos about it and it just sounds like enlightened centricism ascended as a philosophical theory. It is interesting nonetheless.
@@Camp68 Definitely interesting. That's why I can't stop watching her videos. My understanding of enlightenment means that you've removed yourself from the cycle of suffering through detachment. I don't see that in Brittany just as I don't see it in Russell Brand. Enlightened people don't make videos about being enlightened, but I also acknowledge I may be missing something.
@@BeyondSeattleEats I don't think you're missing anything. These people want to feel as though they belong to a higher and more sublime realm of existence, far from the teeming "unenlightened" masses. The only thing enlightenment grants is the license to be condescending lol.
@@BeyondSeattleEats I’m new to this channel, so I don’t want to make too many assumptions, but... The problem with perceiving ourselves as “enlightened” is that we don’t know what we don’t know. Every time we climb some mountain of discovery (or traverse some deep abyss) and arrive at the summit, it can feel like enlightenment for a moment, but if we release our pride to look around, we realize there are other mountains with higher summits. There’s always more.
I saw Brittany comment elsewhere that belief in a Creator God is level 2 thinking. Maybe inasmuch as religious dogma goes, yeah...but until you’ve sat with or spoken to that entity (those spirits), you don’t know. Same goes for recognizing the fractal patterns in human behavior or creative output as it reflects higher dimensional realities/the spirit realms: plenty of people have profound insight into that realm of awareness, but are very lost (or binary) in terms of human interactions.
I sense Brittany is herself a level 2 in terms of the Big Picture, but level 5 in terms of the Earthly paradigm. We’re all at different “levels” concerning various aspects of consciousness. An intriguing framework, just applied to a subset of this infinite, quantum reality.
leaving the woke bubble is new for me but finding more peace in doing so 😋
Any chance you'd be willing to watch and talk about Bo Burnhams special on Netflix called "Inside". Its very sarcastic and "introspective", and kindof dark. Although if I'm being honest you'd probably watch it and think only a 2 would find it deep lol. I recently stumbled across your podcast and I'd love to hear how you analyze and or think about it. I find your commentary and theorizing fascinating to listen to!
I saw one part of it and thought it was very good. My sister is coming to visit me in July. We are going to watch it together ♡ I'm sure I'll talk about it.
29:30 cell reference ayye. Perfect but always comes back stronger👌🏾
When I look at happy people, I want to break something and yell in their faces "Stop lying!! This is all pointless and you know it." But I also know that's a me problem, so I think that puts me at a level 4. But there's also peace to be found in social reciprocation: speaking and being heard, listening and comprehending. I don't really have a point, just high and thinking... The peace of level 5 sounds nice but the anger of level 4 feels useful if I can find the right target... I don't know. Back to smoking for now...
Sounds like a 2 ♡ Not 4.

I would love to read a manifesto for the levels. It would be amazing to make notes in the margins of this philosophy. I'm fascinated.
I've no idea where i am on the levels, maybe a 3 or 4, but man i have some 2 moments too! I'd say I'm moving towards a better life, but that has nothing to do with money, more personal growth.
I often question statistics, like generally there are groups: male, female, non-binary or prefer not to say. Those aren't enough categories, but a gender fluid person might say one of thes because they're closer to the way they identify, thus they aren't represented clearly. The same happens with race, or Likert scales of "strongly agree/agree/neither agree or disagree/ disagree/strongly disagree" which don't give reasons behind choices or give clear cut markers of to what extent a person agrees, maybe you only slightly agree, or feel unsure... and what about "i agree, however.. "?
I can't relate to celebrity really, but i respect intelligence, so i do get a buzz when someone i admire responds to me or gives positive feedback.
Hey ♡ Much like Socrates and Diogenes I won't be writing anything down😋 I already know I fall into their category of philosopher, in that sense ♡
Hey Brittany long time no see. Do you or did you happen to read books by bertrand russell or ludwig wittgenstein? I was just curious if you find them overly nit picky or trivial.
Damn, this is good.
This was a good podcast. My question is what’s the difference a content 2 and a 5? It feels like they get to the same place.
I guess I’m asking from the place as a content 2 who agrees and thinks a lot in what you say about 5s. It just sounds like it takes a lot of energy to elevate to that place of a 5 when you can get those same views and peace with the world as a describe content 2.
Can I get the title for that aba video at the end?
1:24:22 Why is it hoarding culture and not protecting that culture from people who don’t know how to respect it?
1:26:20 If being enlightened didn’t matter, why did it help you to achieve your joy, why did you have to leave the world of the 2?
Great questions Charles!
1) Humans can both protect and/or hoard. In the world of the 2s, they should protect (to some extent their cultures), and absolutely share their cultures, so people will see the beauty and want to be like them in small ways.
Culture is so subjective, but the idea is that humans create rituals, traditions and pass it down. It's all made up and continued through nostalgia. It's a beautiful thing. I love having a group of people around the world that I feel connected to.
Culture can also pass horrible traditions down that eventually get updated, as they should, which begs a question, if parts of culture change, what is culture?
Number 2s depend on that consistency though, so culture is a good foundation for them to base their lives on, even if they have options to change...they won't. Often these humans are most resistant to change as well, clinging to their old ways because their identities are in that culture.
2) I think humans who are meant to be 5s will have no choice but to move forward in it. Every 5 that I know was the same way.
Some humans just get to the point where they need more than the bubble they were given and more than the bubbles provided.
No one is the same, when it comes to the detials, we are all going to have different paths♡

Hi Brittany I was wondering if you would be interested in making a video about gender, being non-binary and why do some people want to be called “they”. This is a topic has been on my mind since I have found it in context of people commenting about Trisha and using “they” but in my head for a person like Trisha being called they almost makes no sense.. and in the sentence form when talking it can be quite confusing to know who is who. I have met some other people as well who choose to be called they and sure it might work for English but it might be weirder for other languages as the whole sentence has to switch to plural and in that case it will still be gendered (for example Slavic or Roman languages) so are they ok with requesting this treatment only when they speak to others in English?? I really don’t get it. Also quite frankly I’m so annoyed for some reason with this trend where cis people put their pronouns in the bio. Just don’t understand why it’s becoming mainstream when it literally doesn’t need to. Niche people can be niche why is everyone else stating the obvious?
Hey I’m very sorry if someone gets triggered I’m just over here trying to understand and I don’t think I will be able to understand if I’m not honest. Please if you would like to share your opinions and some good materials I would appreciate it a lot!

He's interviews are calculated and well done. He knows who he is and what image he wants to convey. He has a clear sense of self. Strong willed and introspective.
Could be a 3 or could be a really calculated 2A.
Could even be a really odd 5 but doubt it, but I really need to read his book to know. He hangs out with the Sadguru's of the world, who I also like but am not sure of in terms of my levels.
They both cling to creator concepts or religious concepts which is a 2 action normally.

Confused what the Black woman anecdote was supposed to say about race?
For some reason, I'm not exactly sure which part you mean, can you time stamp me? Or can you ask it in another way, so my brain can understand?
@@BrittanySimon It starts at 26:10 when you’re talking about the world of the 2s being stable, you give an example about how religion can’t provide an objective truth then start to give another example by signifying “let’s say you’re black” around 27:21 and go into into an anecdote about an old co worker who is black and I can’t figure out where you were going with that
@@Christinaaahhhify Sorry, my brain is odd sometimes, I was making the point that her expirence and mine overlapped enough for her to be able to communicate to me what to do next and she doesn't even know how much she's impacted me. The point wasn't about race, per se, more like life expirence.
I think when I hear race i think politics, but her blackness isn't political, it's more like spiritual, like my middle easterness is more than the politics of my people.
Sorry, I sometimes ramble and I'm sure I could have said it much better ♡
@@Christinaaahhhify Also, she is biracial (white and black) so that connected us in that "not black enough, not white enough way."
I also think that's interesting ♡
