      Hi! @brittanySimon I was just watching a demon mamma video … trying to figure out why people listen to her or defend her… and to be fair. She’s only in the videos from the content creators I enjoy… she’s always the outlandish one, dramatic one, accusing one… and people feel they have to defend themselves against her…
      I feel like she’s a bully all around. I honestly don’t care for what she stand for because she’s just a bully to me and I refuse to be taken in by a bully with no sense.
      Anyway, you’re very cool and always seem up for a challenge… well actually no… I changed my mind You’re so open and pure in your engagements I wouldn’t want her corruption to invade you. She gets under your skin. She’s under destiny’s and vauch’s . Maybe you and mr. Girl can collaborate on her together Ying/Yang the bitch

    I might be wrong but personally, I see a lack of self-awareness, he seems mad that people only want drama, yet he build his audience based on that, fully knowing that it wasn't particularly interesting for him, in that moment of time he made a decision, now he is dealing with the consequences but he doesn't acknowledge his fault. He feels betrayed but I believe is logical that people are leaving if they are no longer compatible with him.
    His statements are so general that they kinda make me feel lost when he says: "this is the world, this is social media, this is society, this is relationships now." I'm just sitting here from my Caribbean country like: which part of all of those things?? He is taking one little scenario as it was the reality of the whole world.
    Most importantly he seems so mad with his surroundings like he wants to escape everything but why is he consuming all of those things in the first place and hanging out with people that are damaging to him? (I assure you that my otaku friends don't give a shit about my politics and my political friends will understand my need for peace.) I saw another video of him where he analyzed a video where people choose who gets 1000 dollars, and he commented something like: this is just like Twitter and society, a couple of times, meanwhile I'm just thinking: why are you obsessed with Twitter? My Twitter is filled with anime content, cats, etc, we have the freedom to choose what we consume (unless you are a RUclipsr and people are harassing you or something.)

      a stupid example that comes to mind is political arguments. i feel like i can always understand where the person is coming from, so i never get outraged by anything. but when i state the few opinions that i have, it gets labeled as an "ideology" and i get attacked bc im apparently a member of that ideology, which im not even a part of.
      it's kinda alienating :/

    Hello, I’m a first time viewer on your channel and long time member of Pierre XO’s community 🙂 I would first like to say that I appreciated the time and effort you put into this video. I suppose it kind of makes sense that you chose the Jubilee video because that’s the one that made him go viral and the second one where he explained his current state of mind although to be honest, the first is very old and is not representative of Pierre today. You questioned why Pierre catered to his audience in many ways after the Jubilee video, he was on You Tube for several years prior to that and was posting very genuine and artistic content but it just wasn’t taking off, Jubilee brought about an explosion of new viewers he didn’t see coming and I think it’s only natural that he tried to ride that wave in a way that would grow the channel further…and yes, he is fully aware and has admitted to the part he played in that story. As far as you questioning why anyone would feel sad about losing something that was toxic? Well why do people grieve after getting out of any toxic relationship? It’s basic psychology…it was something you put immense time and effort into and once it dies you need time to come to terms with that fact despite the toxicity, before you can move on.
    In his second video Pierre talks about how the world has changed since this virus appeared and while I do admit that he likes being dramatic you cannot deny the raise in depression and anxiety and an overall general deterioration in human communication both online and IRL…the fact that you are lucky to be living in a smaller town surrounded by family and have not felt this…well, that seems to be your bubble then.
    I was first confused then very interested by this numerical system of viewing other human beings you have come up with and have watched two other of your videos explaining it. I do not know your story in full but it seems to me that the system you created is carved out on the basis if your own life experience and that you are now trying to apply it to everyone. What I find inherently wrong with that is that we don’t all have the same emotional stability as a starting point nor do we all have the same linear progression of experiences (traumas included), life is much more messy than that. If your system helps you better cope with the world that is certainly a good thing for you but it’s way too vague and full of assumptions and generalisations to apply to everyone else at the same time. I am still pretty confused as to what a 5 realy is to you though…but somehow I imagine a 5 wouldn’t come up with a grading system for human beings.
    Pierre XO is a wonderful highly self-aware and introspective human being who is still going through the pains of maturing and finding himself in many ways and while I as a long-time viewer sometimes do not agree with him I also recognize his potential and see his value and support his growth in the future…isn’t that what being a unjudgemental human being is all about, not just towards some content creator, celebrity or anyone else IRL, as opposed to placing people in imaginary categories?

    I’ll speak on this as a member of Pierre’s community and someone who’s been around for a little bit. I’m new here and not terribly familiar with your level philosophy but I want to make an interesting comparison. Pierre’s friend Richard Grannon has said a few times that P reminds him of the tarot card the Fool, which has to do with hope, taking risks, new experiences, beginnings, etc. When I first became aware of P’s channel I had this image in my head of him as the Magician (creativity, turning ideas into reality, inspiration becoming action) but now that I’ve gotten to know him a little better I see that he hasn’t quite made that evolution yet.
    He’s changeable, a bit overly sensitive, and can be stubborn in spite of his changeability. I learned a lot from those livestreams he talked about. They weren’t all rainbows and lollipops, there were A LOT of arguments- the first one I ever watched, he had a fight with the chat about them trying to mommy him into wearing sunscreen. At one point there was a sort of stalking incident. But I saw a person looking for whatever human connection he could get, trying to just enjoy his life in a world that didn’t make sense anymore. It gave him and everyone else involved a sort of oasis, but that bubble had to burst sometime.
    I’ve never gone through the identity crisis he seems to be having. I feel like I’ve always been painfully aware of myself at any given stage of my life, it was my awareness off everything else that was weak. So my solution I posed to him was “fuck it, do what you want and don’t worry so much about what anyone thinks”, but that’s probably not what anyone in his position wants to hear, nor does it seem realistic, upon reflection. It just makes me sad to see all the potential he has go to waste because he’s trying to be true to himself but also what he thinks his audience wants but also who he thinks he should be. I just wanna squish his face and say, “be the Magician I know you are!”
    This isn’t much to do with anything, just thoughts I had while listening to your thoughts. Keep up the good work, it’s always inspiring to see someone my age doing what they love and finding success!

    I definitely relate to Pierre’s view of the world during his journey. I can relate to that feeling of loss when you go through a change as a person and people in your life start to pull away as a result. Or feeling like you can no longer communicate honestly with certain people who you are worried may completely turn on you if you disagree.

    The observing behavior you describe around the 1:01:10 mark, growing up is what my dad called “the ways”. Always watching your back and identifying exits or sketchy behavior. I grew up in a relatively safe town but I think it’s a really good self awareness that could really save you or someone else in a potential dangerous situation. I think the times that I wasn’t using “the ways” I got myself into some pretty bad situations so it’s definitely better to be safe than sorry!

    Watching this, Pierre has really deep thoughts and grey perspectives and I start to consider, "maybe he is a three", but then he concludes the thought with such a basic conclusion that make me think he is a two again. But like many people are saying, the second video really confirmed this. The sad music, the images, everything in the video was trying to symbolize a deep message but the message was regular motivation people give when they overcome a crisis or an ego death. Lowkey felt like an ad for boxing.
    I definitely saw the switch between 2 to 3

    I really enjoyed this podcast! I agree with you, that XO A 3 was introspective but not past Level 3. In particular, with the second video, I feel like I saw a limit. He seemed focused on other people's perception of him and conflating an unfollow with condemnation. I find it hard to judge an unfollow as a condemnation, followers are not real people in your life who know you and can truly judge you. His focus on the rejection of his former following is where he lost me.

    I’m not afraid of dying from a virus, or anything. But I am very much not down with causing pain to others. Me dying will definitely cause pain to the people who depend on me, but honestly the main reasons for me choosing to abide by quarantine rules had very little little to do with me not getting Covid. I def didn’t want to get it but it was prob about 10-15% of the reasoning and that was about a) not wanting to experience pain/discomfort, not dying & b) not wanting ppl I love have to deal with the pain of my death.
    The rest was about protecting others in my life who are high-risk - I have a lot of ppl who are high-risk in my life & I live half-time in a small remote community with a lack of health resources. And the idea of being the person who caused others to get incredibly sick and/or die because I wasn’t willing to change my behaviour in ways that were proven to help is horrendous to me. And there was also very much the larger community aspect of wanting to do my part to keep our health resources and health workers from being completely overwhelmed. After watching/reading what happened in Italy where dr’s & nurses were having to triage who got to live & die, and putting their own, & their families, lives & health at risk was also a huge part of it for me.
    I have a hard time with the “people die and yes, that’s sad” - that’s not an abstract thought when it’s actually happening to your community & people you care about. And I don’t mean for the ppl who die, I mean for the ppl left to grieve. I’ve lived in a quite a few of the smaller rural communities in my province & a couple of them were hit by Covid and losing 5-10 of the middle-age to elders (40+) in those communities was devastating.
    Anyway, when we talk about what our values are, being a “good”/responsible community/family member, being socially responsible, caring for others is very high up there for me. I’m sure part of it is being 🇨🇦, but social responsibility is higher for me than autonomy in value. Sacrifice for the greater good. Yes, it’s part of my social upbringing but it’s also based on my own beliefs that we are social creatures, that need to love & be loved to live & thrive - without a structure in place that values the society as well as the self, we’re fkd.
    To be very clear, I’m NOT talking about just blindly doing what authority says, and I absolutely think it’s important to question what’s going on & be informed and use critical thinking. And based on all of the information that was available in the first part of the pandemic that quarantine/living in bubbles was the way to slow down the spread of Covid. And I feel the same way about the vaccine. I’m actually really sensitive to vaccines (I can’t get the flu shot for example) but I had an opportunity to get it early through work and the possible risk to myself was far outweighed by keeping my loved ones safe, taking the pressure off of our health care system and getting back to “normal” fkn life.
    I know multiple entire communities who have been majority vaccinated and I don’t know anyone who has incapacitated by the vaccine. My dad got shingles after he got it and that might have been related. And there was 2 confirmed cases in the news of ppl who died after taking the AZ vaccine.
    Which is the one I took. Interestingly, when it comes to to the idea of not being scared of dying - that very much factored into me getting the vaccine. I’m not scared of dying, and I’d rather take that risk with the vaccine, where it’s only me that can be impacted - than take the risk of spreading Covid and being the cause of sickness & death & the associated pain & grief that would cause within my family & community. And on a larger scale, I’m okay with taking that risk in doing my part to make sure our doctors and hospitals are operational again, that we can go back to social life again.
    Anyway, it’s pretty obvious that there’s too big of a section of the population that isn’t going to take the personal risks needed to get to “herd immunity” and most of the ppl in my inner circle are vaccinated, so I’ve loosened up somewhat. Life is just going to be different now, I don’t think we’re going to find a way to get back to where we were in my lifetime.

      I concur. I think the reality is that he's a shallow 2 with some energy of a 3 but not really. I will be reviewing a video of him with Richard Grannon tomorrow live (assuming tech works) and I think it'll help solidify why 2s think they've discovered something they haven't or why they both might be very cynical 3s (which is really a glorified 2)
      I'm unaware of that video but I've seen enough of his work to know he's too focused on himself to really care about anything else right now.

    Another great video, Brittany! I always found Pierre XO to be an interesting human but I stopped watching him awhile back bc his videos were kind of bordering on nihilism which always irritates me. This video made me realize that I think it's interesting that often times nihilists and people who "long for innocent days" (that never really existed lol) are often times two sides to the same coin. Neither are rooted in reality and both have an idealistic/perfectionist way of looking at the world. I wish him well on his journey!

  • @daffo595
    @daffo595 2 года назад +9

    I’m not sure if I’m following your argument about quarantine. The main point for it was to contain the virus and reduce spread for the sake of others especially to not overwhelm the healthcare system. I understand the experience of a pandemic is different in a small town or village where people are able to interact without pandemic measures and if outsiders from the community wasn’t regularly coming in and out, but in more densely packed locations I think it was a much needed preventative measure. It sounds like you’re saying that if you die of covid then you die and shouldn’t fear death, but what’s wrong with striving to live? And I could also turn the argument to people who absolutely refuse to wear masks. Ok so you’re either a) not afraid of dying or b) insisting on your rights or freedom of choice, but like you said one person’s experience is also not everyone else’s there are people who are compromised or live with people who are or interact with people who are. In Asian countries mask wearing is just a non disputed socially acceptable way to behave in public now but I have had friends who have recently flown to western countries that are opened up where people have just forgone mask wearing entirely and they’ve been harassed for choosing to wear masks. What happened to the freedom of choice argument then??? Countries that have opened up who practice mask wearing regularly have lower cases so moving forward some places will definitely embrace this as the socially acceptable norm but no, damned if you do damned if you don’t.
    I would like to also add that I do appreciate the discourse around this channel. I catch myself trying to win over people a lot when talking about divisive issues when really sometimes it’s easier to just understand their pov. But I do believe in facts, not in a Ben Shapiro kind of way because we need to make space for nuance but in a, “horse medicine will not save you from catching covid, dad” kind of way however I understand how some narratives and the way arguments are framed can cause people to be misunderstood or misunderstand due to the bubbles we live in.

    Pierre has clearly had a profound realization in his life, and in the end it seems he thinks he has the answer. He says his conclusions about his life so matter of fact-ly. And to him, they are his truth! They are a matter of fact to him! But he doesn't seem to see beyond that. He doesn't seem to see his conclusion might not be someone elses. That short film has a clear message that lacks some nuance. So I would agree he still embodies a 2 from what we've seen.

    I watched Pierre a couple years ago more regularly when he blow up mainly because he did seem stuck in this perpetual state oder existential crisis that I also seem to be stuck in (Not for the same reasons or the same way, but a lot of what he was going through seemed to resonate with me at the time). And now with a bit of distance after stopping watching I'll say:
    Pierre seems to be someone who is somewhat dissatisfied with his life knowing that it's not the life he truly wants to be living but not knowing what it is that he actually wants (which same Girl).
    I think he is very deep thinker, due to his on detriment. He wants to find meaning and make sense of the world really badly but seems to always hit the same rocks whch seems to be the shallowness of the world. But I think He also partially chose that bubble that world in a way or to put it differently:
    I think he is living very oppurtunisticially. A lot of his fuckboiness and social media thing seems to be something he does more because He can, more becuase those are the upoortunities he gets instead of it really being who he is at the person and something he deeply resonates with.
    Which is why He leans in the deep thinking even more, he sees he's different and sets himself a part with his philosohicial tendenices while also trying to make sense of the world he expierences with it. That's why he's coming to this everlasting same conclusions. Because the contrast between him and bis deep thinking conpared to the shallowness of His lifestyle and what He is watching is the most outstanding aspect, so He always get's to that view and conclusion.
    It's clear that the life he is living isn't truly *him* but he also doesn't seem to able to view past his bubble probably because he isn't given the direct upportunity (which again as writing this damn, He still hits waaay go close home for me).
    And to adress the elephant in the room: I guess yess, a lot of it has to with his attractiveness. I geniunly think it's his biggest detriment. And it gets clear because he is living the typicial lifestyle of what you'd expect an attractive man to live: many women who he fucks around with, social media presence, pretty succesfull, taking a lot of effort and pride in his appearance. Just that it seems like to me that this is not what he truly wants or who he truly is.
    I remember when I first started watching him *everyone* was only talking about how sexy his voice is or how hot he is yaddiyadda. People weren't truly talking about what he has to say and I feel like even if some are geniunly listening I think a lot of it is still overshadowed by him being attractive. A lot of people seem to gravitate to him primarily for that reason while I believe (espeicially because of the way He talks about bis past self) is a bit of nerd at heart. And even if I'm wrong about that it's still pretty evident that he is way deeper as the a person than the shallow reasons people gravitade towards him. And even if some stay for his Insights many will be the same and struggle livingw in that bubble because that's what He creates And advertising with his appearance: it's so much his most ovious feature that it overshadows everything else. And it is hard to break out that shallowness then because that becomes the Most noticable trait.
    Tbh if I would give advice to him: try to find people who you truly resonate with: who embrace philosophy the same way you do and whom you bond over through that purpose. Don't go and meet most your friends via dating apps. Even if they are similarily deep thinking as you are they are probably stuck in the same as you and that won't help you. Possibly find something more niche for a moment that you can be into as you may be expanding way to broad, leaving you stuck in the same bubble of width. I've been there too and I kinda gave up in philosophy a little for that purpose: I was stuck to broadly, mainly always having the same general takeaways which gets boring after while. You will alwayse stay on a surface broad level if you never choose a specifice direcfion.
    Also even if I know this is hard: try to find what you want in life and not living upportunistailly the lifestyle that's comvinient. I hope you'll find a life that truly resonates with *you*.
    I know he'll never read this but this is the geniunie advice I would give if I were his friend of something who he is dealing with a similar situation. If someone resoantes with him I hope that may still help somehow :').
    I just geniunly hope he finds what he is looking for.

      And also while I wasn't stuck so much in the social media analysis bubble I was stuck in the polticial wanting to understand every Side bubble. And I will tell you it is so emotionally echausting the same way He seems exhausted from social media.
      It's just hard trying to see everyones point of view and to see what motivates them to that when nothing is ever even closely in alignment with your views or what you are.
      He maybe has something similar with social media.
      I will say this as much as I still stand for wanting to unferstand everyones side and perspective, I realised that this Just isn't good for me, and even If I still spordicially engage with it, I have niche comfort-feel good things that make me feel save that I watch also. For me this is anime. You don't know how many times I just stop going outside this left-rught-cinservative-hole
      just to watch some Haikyuu.
      If it would be magic tricks for him it's great because it's important to get you mind of off emotionally stressful things.
      I've had many momentan to of just wanting go quit the internet but hell, there are many little worlds you may be able to loose yourself in that aren't stressful and dramatic. Can only recommend..

    I don't know that I can make any assessments about a fellow 3 that could rival a 5's thinking. There are moments in Pierre's messages where I think, "Dude, it's not that deep"-- his audience unfollowing because he started posting boxing content (or what he sees as his "true self"). No, bro, they just turned the channel off when it became not what they signed up for, and we all do that. No one owes you allegiance. I also disagree that we have to stay and fight (in the sense of fighting the world), but perhaps yes we need to fight an internal battle that WANTS to fight with the world. I feel like that is a growth moment I'm in. And I wouldn't even call it a fight-- I keep saying "moment", but momentarily I need to fight urges (emotion-based) that are incongruent with what I know to be true (logic-based) about the world (that it only prolongs frustration to fight, that it doesn't matter long-term).
    I agree with you that his frustration is (or should be?) with the community that frustrated him-- not with the world. I can honestly say that when I went through a similar experience, though the process was painful at times, I was happy to shed a community that was toxic, and I was refreshed to return to a broader lens on society because I was reminded that the world isn't so bad-- I was just surrounded by a toxic community.
    However, I do believe we can think that on the macro, stuff doesn't matter. But when we zero in on moments, concepts, behaviors as they are singularly, I believe even you agree that some things are bad-- whether that's a knowledge or a belief. You have an opinion that cancellation is bad, that certain communities are toxic. So. Is there room to have moments where we discuss the toxicity? Whether it's to share an awareness, to incite the slightest bit of change, to help others, or simply to vent? Again, I'm not a 5, so it's all conceptual to me, but given that we're still humans living in a world of 2 bubbles, is there utility in venting for 5's? Maybe not because you have a greater sense of inner peace, but you still have brains and nervous systems that function like ours (3's and 2's), so can you have moments where you talk about the bad/corrupt/dysfunctional on the micro, then return to the sense of peace found in the macro lens?
    Because if there's room to sit and vent or discuss what is toxic (which is, meh... 60-75% of what I see Pierre doing, with the other 25-40% being over-involvement with what doesn't truly matter)... Is it really right to write off the behavior as just 2-ey 3ness? Lacking enlightenment? Regressive in any sense? I don't mean to put words in your mouth, so this is all just interpretation I've gleaned from your assessments... Or can we be enlightened people that just wanna betcch WHEN...
    Sorry I was closing out this thought when I remembered the critical point I was making-- Given that you also find cancellation to be toxic, what's the difference between these videos by Pierre (or the 60-75% of them) and your opinions on cancellation? Is it the time he's spent discussing it? Is it his decision to publicly discuss it? Or is there something about his message (perhaps tucked in that 25-40%) that expresses a clear barrier between enlightened discussion of something bad... and actual enlightenment?
    I hope I was clear here. I'm not always. Hope you see this. I'm so interested in your thoughts and on more content about 3's!

      This is all lovely!
      "No, bro, they just turned the channel off when it became not what they signed up for, and we all do that. No one owes you allegiance" - Exactly. THE WHY of this thinking is key here.
      He isn't coming to these conclusions outside of feeling hurt and "not seen."
      5's agree that they are apart of the ecosystem not better than it, not different than it, we are all humans and we are all struggle in different ways. The way Pierre talks is with the tone of "I was to authentic for the internet," which makes no sense, the internet isn't one part of youtube. He isnt' famous enough to have been rejected from "the internet."
      5's aren't' impacted by the world the same way because their identity isn't rooted in others, it's rooted in themselves.
      I think the key is the WHY.
      Both Pierre and I can say "we hate cancel culture" but we hate it for different reasons.
      Pierre hates it because it's painful, mean, lame and it censors 'real artists.'
      I used to be upset by it in the same way but I think it's much more than that. I think it's similar to why I hate prison systems. If our goal is to help people be better than prisons and cancel culture aren't efficient and should be considered a "Band-Aid" solution.
      2's see it as THE SOLUTION to stop "bad people" from thriving. The victims of cancel culture see it as "The Great Cleansing" Or "Right think" or "Cancel culture is run by the left!" "They just hate authentic artists" "I'm the real authentic person and everyone else is lying to themselves."
      Cancer culture exists because adult life is high school all over again. If people don't like you, if they're afraid of you, you get shoved aside. People think you're not 'woke' enough to sit here, they bully you out. People think you're too slutty, they spread rumors and pretend they're all virgins (or not the kind of girls who post "nudes" online).
      It's easy to see the high school hierarchies in adult life and think that's all there is (drama).
      Life is more than human interaction and yet, is so great because of human interaction.
      So, can 5's vent? Yes! I do it all the time in my live streams and to my friends.
      I emotionally rant at my inner circle because I will say things I don't mean but emotionally feel. Being seen in such an intimate way will never happen with a stranger/online for me because it wouldn't be reasonable. No one online could ever know me enough to create a safe space where I could be myself 100% (unless they're specific 5's I've met, I usually find myself more open with them).
      So, I think some people use their youtube to vent, to be seen, but it always feels shallow in the end because there is the very real middle man (the camera, the editing, the uploading, the random usernames).
      5's just vent efficiently maybe? :)

      @@BrittanySimon Okay, I think I see a little more where you’re coming from.
      What I think I gathered that I agree with is:
      - It’d be fine if this were a momentary emotion that Pierre wanted to get off his chest, but his decision to express it publicly in this manner is not only ignorant of what logic/enlightenment teach us.
      - He’s still performing, still putting on an act, still living through a persona on RUclips, so that gets convoluted with his message, and it’s near-impossible to extract a fully authentic message.
      - He’s making generalizations that essentially say “this bubble represents society at large”, which we know cannot be true. < Whether or not I read you right, this one I agree with the most or feel the hardest? Either way, I can see this being the dealbreaker in determining whether Pierre is an efficiently venting 5 ( :p ) or a 3 generalizing his bitterness, which is making him susceptible to falling into another 2 bubble. I hate that “susceptible” sounds bad because I was just saying I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing. He may have shed one 2 bubble that was dysfunctional for a healthier (maybe even more enlightened) 2 bubble (in the martial arts community). Good stuff! So happy to have heard you cover this beautiful man.

I can place bets on what I KNOW to be true about people and where he fits and that creates the belief I have that he is introspective and it might be the kind that lands him in a 2 bubble where he can thrive and be joyful. He, also, has the ability to question WHY about something outside himself and that will lead him down another path. It's all up to him and his joy, as long as he's joyful, that's the answer.

    @Lovely_Linda_777 2 года назад +16

    I have never seen any of your videos before, & therefore was a new viewer. I heard about the video that you made about @PIERRE XO, & since I have been a part of his online communities for years now😉, & speak with him regularly, I wanted to hear what you had to say. I also listened to the breakdown of the number system you have created (“co-authored”), & your explanation for doing so. What I don’t understand is why someone would want to create a number system in order to judge other people through your life‘s experiences & lens, on your own “branded” RUclips channel, because from my life‘s experience of 44 years, that’s as judgmental as you can get! You talk about calling yourself a 5, while belittling Pierre down to a 2, or maybe a 3. That’s simply self-righteous to say. Until you truly know someone, you have no business making this type of DEEP judgment on another human being, in my humble opinion…Also, from my perspective humbleness is something that I think you are still lacking in. It’s OK to talk about your accomplishments, but not in a way that is trying to make you look better than other people. It’s not cute. Simply celebrate what you have done, & leave it at that. The last thing I will say about your commentary in general, is that I noticed many contradictions within it.
    In your bio on this channel you say that you are a “conversationalist, & a listener”, but what I was watching was you talk mostly about yourself, & then throwing in a lot of criticizing assumption based comments about Pierre, & his journey. While I do agree with some of the things that you say in general terms, this was not accurate of who Pierre is as a person, let alone understanding his enlightenment level, intelligence, or creative genius! The man is talented AF, & is underappreciated constantly. People say they hate him, then turn around and try to duplicate him. On & on it goes…
    PIerre is a very deep philosophical, intellectual, enlightened artist, who does his best in, & for the world! He is a humanitarian, who is also very sensitive, & at the same time can kick ass when he needs to protect himself. I have watched him on multiple occasions in real time (on live streams) be verbally attacked, & even physically threatened. If you knew about his background, you would know that he has lived a life of bullying, racism, & people trying to kick him around literally! He & I have both learned through our life experiences, that when you allow people to do that to you without asserting yourself, you’re proving to them that you are weak, & a target for that type of abuse! We must stand up for ourselves if ever threatened! I have watched Pierre get cat called, mistaken for a woman, & therefore he completely understands what it’s like to feel vulnerable. He has overcome so much of that, & he is becoming the man he came here to be! He is trusting the process the best he can, just like we all go through. I personally don’t see any benefit for you to be the judge and the jury for him, or anyone else! I think you need to turn your lens back onto yourself, because even gurus will tell you, it is an individual journey. Not to mention when you’re pointing the finger at someone, you still have three pointing back in your direction…
    I have personally worked with multiple gurus, & you quote Sadguru in both the videos I watched. Even though he has levels that he discusses, they have nothing to do with the kind you speak of, or their application. While Sadguru is truly trying to enlightening others, you seem to be here just to place your judgments upon them (or at least that seems to be your “brand”).
    One subject you will hear Sadguru talk about is Kali, the goddess of time, change, death/ creation, destruction, & power! All of humanity is in her energy right now, including Pierre, because he is becoming the man he came here to be. PIerre is very humble about this, but again you came off self righteous, & contradictory when you say you’re a 5 who has had your “ego death”, but then acknowledges the fact that you can have multiple in a lifetime, which you will! I can guarantee you 100% that if you live long enough, you will have many! Without Kali energy there would be no enlightenment, or evolution of a human. Without anger, you can’t get to the next layer, & without tearing down the old structures, you cannot rebuild new ones, & this includes within oneself. Some people actually learn the best through anger, & need to have healthy ways (like martial arts) to release it, as opposed to suppress it, like you proposed. Don’t engage might be right for you, but it’s not right for a lot of other people. In martial arts the golden rule is to never use it unless it’s in self-defense. So when you were trying to tell him to just walk away, that wouldn’t have been good for him, & he needed to be assertive in that moment, because he didn’t start it, and never would, but found strength & power through that action & profound moment…
    In closing, I will say that I hope that this feedback gives you some insight into how you can be read, simply by not looking deep enough into a person, before judging them. You call your judgments “observations”, & to hold a mirror up to your continent, the things I have said about you, are just my “observations”. I personally don’t care where you are on your revolutionary journey TBH, because that’s none of my business, & I don’t know you. I do however care about Pierre, & if you truly want to know more about his Deep intelligence, & very philosophical nature, I would suggest that you start listening to his podcast with Richard Grannan, “tentacle croissant” here on RUclips. I hope this helps. 🙏🏻🌹✨

Especially when it comes to someone that I care about, and feel like I know better than people I’ve known my whole life. We’ve spent so many hours talking, having deep conversations, and just having a good time, that I can’t imagine myself involved with any other community. I am sure other people look at us and say that we are a cult, because we even joke about it, but the funny part is, it’s an inside joke and they’re not in on it! Lol! Most people that come to P’s platform do not understand that most of it is sarcasm, comedy (which of course has been canceled), and satire.

    The video has just begun, so I'm not sure if you touched on his experiences with psychedelics yet. My first exposure to him was a video that featured him years and years ago that was created by Jubilee I believe or a platform that is quite similar. He had a massive spiritual awakening after using and experimenting with psychedelics. Anyone who has ever tried psychedelics will know that they can be quite powerful at awakening your senses, and they make you question your reality and subsequently help you find the answers to said questions. During that period of his life, he was consumed by an obsession with observing the "matrix" and constantly thinking about existence and the "why." I haven't kept up with his content recently, but that first introduction to him has always stuck with me and is something that I personally related to in my own spiritual journey and awareness of the matrix we exist in. I can't wait to hear your thoughts throughout the rest of the video. 🥰

      I'm smiling at the idea of Brittany pegging Pierre as either a 2 or 3, and herself as a 5. I personally conceptualize it as more of a 9 level thing, where you can't cross over to 6 until you've gained an understanding of "the matrix," which can be perceived from numerous angles. Anyone who denies the existence of the matrix, or isn't aware of how so called 'conspiracy theories' all connect back to a common denominator would be a 4 or below in my book, but such is subjective perception. Taking the world at pretty much the exoteric/surface levels is a 1-3 thing.
      Brittany's mind is beautiful but she's completely blinded to the limitations of her own bubble. People don't know what they don't know they don't know. Pierre saw deeply into the matrix and gained a very high level of perspective on both the internal and external worlds. At 7-8, Pierre's brilliant phrase "multidimensional flip lord" makes a great deal more sense.
      People who want more from the matrix can't see it; Brittany wants kids and a family of her own, so her psyche will protect her from clarity on the external world and of where things are heading. Only when our soul senses it has achieved its goals here (or are willing to profoundly shift our goals) in the material/3D-4D world can the veils obscuring our consciousness lift to show us how much more there really is.
      Psychedelics can be wonderful tools for achieving that expanded awareness (& subsequent expansion of our senses), so long as we integrate the lessons offered 'on the other side.' Too many people mistake psychedelic epiphanies for enlightenment (lol), but it's more that trips are the doorway we walk through into a new room (or floor) of discoveries. A starting place to jolt us out of our current wavelength.

    I believe everyone is just trying to find their version of happiness. My mom is religious as well and I made an effort to support her by going to church and retreats. These things changed me, because I could see the purpose of religion firsthand. It provided healing for people, finally it clicked as (then) a teen that people really do live in their own valid realities. If I had grown up in certain times, with the same influences and life experiences, maybe I would have been the same as those people. Except I was born to be "other" by being lgbt, agnostic even from a young age, and an artist..haha..I find myself empathizing with people in a way that feels like I could have lived their life, its a scary feeling to separate myself from normal judgment. I sometimes desired to be a complete 2, like my religious mom. I felt saddened by my lack of belief, because I would have to find connectedness another way. Other than that, I've accepted that the world will be the way it is even after my death. Having said that I feel like a 3 because i lack the true mindfulness, real knowledge and experience to feel enlightened. I dont know if enlightenment even is for me

    I agree that he is a 2/3 at his end vid, like me struggling intensely to tap into the understanding and wisdom but falling short just before getting to the point. I feel I no longer have the luxury of being a 2 because of my relationship with the truth and how that affects my relationship with other people. I have explored so many values systems and ways of being but I feel like none of them I can feel intrinsically connected to in my gut the way others seem to, and it can inform their actions to be moral and speak the truth, and I can see that they are authentic. I try as hard as I can to communicate the truth always, and yet every time I communicate my emotions it is a different story even though I know I am trying my hardest to communicate truth. I find it very triggering and just constant recycling of understandings that are born and dying in my brain and the only way to alleviate it for a while is to think hey, you sure as heck don't have the answers so go along with what somebody else's reality is for a bit and try to act morally and truthfully in the way that they would find acceptable, but then I burn out because I understand their truth is not truth for me, and I can't just adopt it. :(

      @@conecone2179 😭😭 I get you. I'd never text my ex (at least, before I was ready to reconnect as friends and know what I want out of it). but those fleeting moments are important, you need more of those moments where you can just _be_ . I do believe they'll become more frequent until they are 90, 95% of your life but it's so incrementally slow that you might not feel like you're getting there. for me, cutting things out of your life that you don't need, actively avoiding places you don't belong and finding ways to accept the truth of the truth are all things that help me. it's a lot of being alone and reflecting.
      trying to live a very authentic and honest life in this society is damn hard. the pain is knowing the path ahead is as long and slow as it is lonely. for me the alternative of flattening myself is not something my soul can deal with. if you choose to take the 5 road, good luck to you, and if you don't, good luck as well!

    I think when it comes to a lot of the trauma for city folk around covid a lot of it isn't even from just the lock down itself or even from fear of oneself dying. For me and for a lot of the people I know the fear has always been around accidentally causing the death of your loved one bc of covid. I live with my mother who's immune compromised, and witnessed my grandmother die alone in the covid ward after she was wrongly diagnosed at the beginning of the pandemic with covid. Most people around here have either lost someone or know someone who has, and I think that terror has messed a lot of people up. Most people I know aren't at all afraid if getting covid, they're afraid of passing it on. I know some people are afraid of getting it, but in my experience those were the people with anxiety disorders before the pandemic even started.
    Since I've been living in the UK for the last two months and not NY with my mother I haven't been nervous about covid at all. Once I go back home tho, I'll probably be more careful for her sake.

    With the engaging back to the random guy yelling in the street, I would and have engaged back with this kind of thing, but usually only when I feel backed into a corner, bullied, or feel like I'm trapped with them (like on a train). I'm not sure if it's a trauma response or something to do with my ADHD/autism, but it's definitely not a bubble thing for me, it's like an automatic neurological response, like a tic, I don't even realise I've done it until after... I hate after!

      I have ADHD and have learned that most people with ADHD experience some level of rejection dysphoria (extreme sensitivity to rejection, criticism, and failure) as a symptom as well as impulsivity. I can definitely understand why you feel like it's a tic or something similar, and I hope this comment helped!

Exactly, sometimes I just snap and have an out of body experience, I don't even recognise the person flipping out, and I always feel terrible afterwards... probably an ADHD thing, our brains work faster than our consciousness can keep up with, so we say and do things without thinking, but we can't physically help it!
      I just wish people understood that if I COULD think before I act, I would; it just kind of happens... I've tried to "fix" it by practising meditation/mindfulness/therapy etc for years and it's never made a difference in this specific area because it's hardwired into me.

    • @Parrotting
      @Parrotting 2 года назад +1

      This is true. The ADHD mind sometimes is unable to have the control, no matter how hard you try it reacts before you can think.
      Trauma flashbacks can also cause an automatic fight,flight, freeze response. The limbistic system reacts automatically. So if your natural response is to for example fight, when in danger, it will fight when it perceives danger. The perceived danger may be a flashback (the persons tone mimics a dangerous situation when you were younger and you couldn’t escape.)
      In the narrow mind of the libistic response fighting is the answer. It’s literally saying ‘roar back’ lol like a lion. You don’t have access to the calm mind at that point. There is no rationality.
      It sucks to have a brain that automatically reacts and turns the libistic system on at inappropriate times. It can put you in a dangerous position.
      Mine freezes to the point I can’t speak. Literally cannot speak or look at people eyes (I pull myself away from the situation) some people won’t respect that and I can’t speak to assert my need. Then they say ‘why can’t your react in an appropriate way, why aren’t you responding and they get more angry, all while I cannot tell them as I am unable to speak. It’s horrible.
      I don’t have an answer as to how to stop this. It’s no use saying ‘just don’t react’ unfortunately it’s automatic.

I now have a lanyard I always carry on me, that says I'm non verbal in case I get in a situation like this!

    Your mention of the sort of knowing what’s up with a camera in your face even as a kid reminds me of this video that went semi-viral of like a dude just recording in a 7-11 in the 80s, before it was common to be video recorded on personal cameras all the time. Definitely that same “authenticity but also being watched,” although the idea of the www and being uploaded for everyone to see obviously didn’t exist at the time so in that sense there IS authenticity.
    And I guess it begs the question: in what ways, if any, are you and other content creators being authentic that we don’t even notice now because the technology or whatever that will change that doesn’t exist yet? Like what authenticity loss will we be upset about next 😅 Not really that serious of a question just kinda fun to think about.
