- Life is like a game.
You get accustomed to the main principles and you develop more skills as you get immersed in the mechanics of the game. At some point you develop unconscious competence and everything makes sense.
And just like every other game, life needs its own strategy guide and its own stages.

See the humanity in your fellow humans and the world becomes a playground oozing effervescence and synergy.
After all we are all part of the same playground called life.
I guess it is important to learn how to play.
Any books you recommend that speak about this topic of seeing the humanity in other people?
@@mouminali1380 It's called not being a self-centered pr1ck mate.
The internet is the biggest poison and the biggest boon to humanity. This channel is on the good side. We have to keep comparing notes on this journey.
So where do you stand after watching this? I am watching it for the 10th time in a row, I need to make this info mental tattoo!
I like how your mind interweaves the philosophical with the practical, keep up the good work in nudging individuals to think different and ultimately form clarity.
Thank you brother for the beautiful comment. :)
Thank you. As someone in their thirties, asking myself where am I heading and what should I focus on every day, you really gave me some food for thought. Not necessarily answers but that's not what I'm here for. I know I can only find my answers inside...
Brilliant, outstanding! I love the quote: “We are human beings trying to balance individuality with togetherness and that’s not an easy task.”
Also, when you mention ‘morality’, it resonates with your video about Carl Jung and the Shadow, which was the very first video of yours that I saw and it has helped me tremendously in my inner growth.
👏👏👏
Next video is going to be on "Modern man in search of a soul." Visiting some Jungian ideas again.
@@metamorphosis_77 Awesome! Looking forward to it.
Omg, i love your content. I wish I can interact in person with you one day😌
Sure maybe why not :)
I really appreciate your second point about systems thinking. This was a big topic in my grad program, and it's basically a tool to help manage complexity. Whether we realize it or not, physical, digital, and biological systems in our society are converging, and as they converge their relationships and interactions become increasingly complex. It's most often talked about in a systems engineering context, but I can't think of a better application than to help optimize and find purpose in our own lives.
Every system has a collection of inputs and outputs. If you don't like the outputs, change your input.
If you want to go deeper, listen to "Revolution Now" podcast with Peter Joseph. He discusses systems thinking in depth. Mainly how the current societal system can be analyzed from a systems thinking perspective.
This is one of the most useful videos I have watched in a while. I guess your personality resonates with me so I finally find advice which is relevant for me.
Thank you for your authenticity, bruh.
great content as always keep it up man!
Holy moly this channel is a gem.
This was thought-provoking and it left me with many answers, but also questions to think about. Thank you 🙏
Criminally underrated video and channel. Love the pacing and the atmosphere. The hypnotic images are a relief compared to the corporate stock videos of many self improvement channels.
I love your perspective. I love your channel. Thank you for the effort you put into your videos.
:)
Learning everyday, grateful ☯️
I like your videos and definitely will see more of them. Great content, thanks.
A gem of a video ❤️
You drew me in with Carl Jung’s Red Book video, and I came back for more and am very not disappoint. Insightful stuff my friend, I’m very glad to have found you ☺️
✨
Wow there’s a ton of solid information and ideas in here. Great work Adrian. Love the direction you are heading, just as you said late last year.
;)
This channel makes absolutely amazing content. Always giving me something to think about. 👏
Happy to hear that. :)
Great content! Keep it up!
A GREAT VIDEO
yeo how this channel dont got more subs, great content man and very good production. This video inspired me
This is brilliant, ty.
:))
The best video I’ve seen on the topic of productivity.
I’m still not sure where daydreaming and time wasting fall in this race against the “tyranny of the clock” falls. These are also important concept for creativity and productivity... does one schedule them.
I’m an expert on these principles
Thank you!
:)
I think that this guy is amazing!
*Crown chackra explosion! KAAABOOOOOOM!*
The timing of my finding of this channel and this video is wonderful. It is a new year, and a I have many goals (I guess I'll be eliminating some). I think Carl Jung called this kind of coincidence "synchronicity." Very magical, but very real and practical!
thanks for this.
thank you for this video
:)
Very cool video, Adrian. It's reassuring to see other people going through the same ( or at least similar) self development journey. In your videos, you put into words most of the ideas I had arrived to by myself but never dared to share with others. Keep it up, great job as always.
Thank you brother.
Look I have a feeling
Someone
Did another great video
Glad to see you end the video with the best philosopher
Kant
Yeah, I enjoyed the words of wisdom as well as visuals accompanied to more immerse audiance in understanding. I am very intrigued by antifragile concept vs resillent. I tend to feel the waves in form of thoughs or feelings that hit me moment by moment like I would be a rock in front of ocean but to get something positive in the process takes real wisdom to make it happen. To take negative or positive and always create positive( positive as action, redirection of focus, positive not merely as energy concept). just my 3cents.
Struggling with depression for longer than a year, always have seen the cooperative mindset towards common happiness much more valuable than self interest, but got backstabbed too many times (22 years more or less) and see people only caring for inmediatamente satisfaction, ended up without gf and close friends. Lost hope on people. Thank's for sharing man, I'll keep my hopes up trying to find some partners for the big game ✌️
Stay strong my brother.
very interesting
Too good
Lead the people brother 🙏🏻
haha ✊
Very interesting 🤔 esoteric ⭐🙋
Nice assessment of how to strategize life. If indeed life is like a game is not the main objective to gain the upper hand over fellow humans (who are but individual players of their own game) on the grid of life. To be productive is to win endeavors that you place yourself in or are faced with to gain wealth, health and life on your terms. To find love in life is to be free of norms and the herd whilst still getting your fair share of the game. So, that's a point of view on the game. It's really a game of fate governed by positive and negative energies of the mind that every creature on this planet has. It's energy exchange
Balance through Will of Compassion; towards Oneself then others.🙏🔥💚
damn! relatable intro
Interesting and informative insights and advice. Thanks for sharing your story and research. Although we cannot change our nature, we can adapt to circumstances and situations in our life just so that we can survive within the legal framework and perhaps moral framework in which we find ourselves.
Brilliant and enriching performance. Thank you!
(*A no-brainer subscribe)
:))
I always like how you set-up your videos, Adrian, and the intro to this one lays the groundwork for the rest really well and I enjoyed it.
I think you come to a point where you learn from other people's "strategy guides", in an eclectic sense, to then develop your own guide that is specific to you which you learn to implement intuitively with greater and greater success...and hopefully find/seek out similar people along the journey.
Unfortunately we don't get to play on "New Game+" haha, we just have to suffice with passing on our knowledge to the next generation.
I agree, and I feel that teaching our children what we know is the New Game+. We have a very important responsibility to try to teach our children everything that we know and have learned in life, so that our children can grow in this wisdom and grow to become the best that they can be, using what we teach them from what we went through in our life, so that they can start with this knowledge and skills and grow to become even better able to take on life and make a difference, and to reach an even higher potential than we ourselves have achieved in life; by teaching them how to think, what we have learned, and how they can better navigate their own lives based on those principles

WOWW. I searched today about how life is a game and how do we win at it. And suddenly your video pops up in my recommendation. Holy fu*k. Thanks.
Haha serendipity at its best.

is kool video
Αρχικά τρομερό βίντεο. Life is indeed a game and we are the main character/protagonist. But there are also NPCs that affect our world and everyone's guide is determined and "fixed" in a way. Nihilism at its best, jk. Keep up the good work .
Thanks for another great video. I really enjoyed listening.
You say life is a game. True enough. I guess that's why people say don't hate the player, hate the game.
Sounds a bit harsh but what can you do? 🤷♀️
There was a singer who sang a song, LIFE IS A SONG WORTH SINGING. (Teddy Pendergrass)
Thanks again and take care, Adrian ❤
It's not so much about hating the game. It's more about understanding the game. We usually hate what we don't understand.
Thanks for that view point ❤
Good applicable process content in this video, which is why I'm confused about the statement of "unconscious competence." It seems to me that "habits" are more pertinent to the discussion than intuitions. Are autonomic repetitive mental motions clearly differentiated from dream states? Stream of consciousness activity can waste huge blocks of time, but that's where the "fun" comes in. But can aimlessness of exact outcomes benefit from trained reflexes? Most definitely. Musical improvisation is a real-time spontaneous interactive juggling of habits built on rules. I don't think there's anything unconscious in that. But the suggestion raises a larger question about just when and where the truly unconscious portion of the mind produces an interruption in the process to run its own routines. This may hold the key to why we make music in the first place.
I'm in my early 20s, Electrical engineering too and my biggest influencers are the likes of Nietche,Jung,Camus,Kirkegaad and Dostoevsky.
Great choices
💡
The clip is Truman...not Eisenhower...but the matrix point is a good one.
Shit you are right. Sorry about that.
@@metamorphosis_77 No sorry necessary. You put a lot of good work into your videos. Keep them coming!😉
something cool🙂
Something cool
Woah.
🔥
This is a very cool comment 😉
Great content! A small suggestion- improve your style of narration so that all the content can be conveyed even more effectively. Example: like Alains narration from school of life channel.
Anyways excellent work! March ahead friend!
Each person has their own style. I admire alain as a thinker, but I don't like his style of narration. I prefer peter joseph.
@@metamorphosis_77 I totally respect your point. You are doing great. Thankyou for replying.

I thought my screen had smhmutz on it for the whole beginning part.
Hi there. Can recommend a book on system thinking?
Thinking in Systems: A Primer by Donella H. Meadows
@08:20 - You know that's not Eisenhower, right?
Eisenhower was a boss.
yep. My bad
Hi, great video as always.. why you don’t like warren b?
I just think that, at some point, billionaires need to offer more to society. Philanthropy is not enough. He doesn't really offer much value and he is against taxing billionaires more. It's a long discussion and I will analyze it in depth in a future video.
@@metamorphosis_77 Thanks and it will be great to see your view on that in a video. Thanks for great videos again...
📈📈📈
🔥🔥
Unfortunately, I can think of specific objections, or point out flawed assumptions for most of these, that render their utility niche, contingent, or non-existent.
dude, everything was perfect. But please, define 'fun'
Video games, sports, clubbing. Whatever is your cup of tea.
@@metamorphosis_77 my video game friends have exchanged every exciting part of life with a virtual replica, the clubs don't let me dance here because apparently I'm having way too much fun and it is kinda infectious for both men and especially women, and sports, yeah solo again, i stretch and breath as much as possible outdoors, but that's the only thing i have as αναψυχή, and i am mostly alone. Plz suggest more
Life is not a game it's a sport
