The World isn't Nearly as Terrible as We Think (or is it?)

- As soon as we turn on the radio or television, or scroll through our social media feeds, a rush of tragic events scourges our minds. From pandemics to street violence, from clashes between countries to changes in climate: if we immerse ourselves in these messages long enough, the world becomes a terrible place.
When it’s all doom and gloom out there, one’s view of the outside world tends to be bleak. This video shares a couple of things that might change such bleak views by explaining why the world probably isn’t as terrible as we think, but, at the same time, it actually is.

@@N0Xa880iUL the problem is unhealthy connections were made to begin with. In the beginning atomic energy was used to destroy life, now it brings power to make life better.

Great advice. Though it's hard to develop good relationships with people who can't cut the cable, and most people can't 😟
An old political science professor of mine visited the area I live in the US during the height of the 2016 political hysteria. I took him out to lunch just at a typical burger restaurant to catch up. When we got there we ordered our food like normal and sat down and the first thing he said was "you know, it's sometimes very hard where I live to remember that people don't hate each other as much as the news says, but that girls smile and kindness really helped", it never even occurred to me, but my professor was an older white man, and the woman who took our order was a young black girl. It always stuck with me how the simple warmness and smile of that young girl moved him so much, to remind him that the world isn't always so bad as it seems when you're so hooked into the political / news world like he was.

The timing on this one was perfect. I have been obsessed with the news for the past 5 years here in the US, especially what has been going on politically. I made a conscience decision to drastically limit my intake, I feel so much better.
Ditto.
Why "limit it" when you can just get rid of it completely? It serves zero purpose.
I'm glad you took that step to feel better, I wish more people understood media (and the news, particularly) wants to generate fear, obsession, and dependency. Wish my parents understood this, they would have lived a more quiet, happier life.
I'd cut it off completely

Well put....just try and tell Jung, Aurelius, Thoreau and Nietzsche now that science has given humans the ability to instantly control others on a global scale , and that leaders have been corrupted by the ability to oppress the world and alter reality, they may adjust their perspective.

It seems like slave morale is winning.
And additionally Nietzsche said he made predictions for the next 200 years. Not further.

I think the worst has yet to come with the internet. A 20 year old technology that has fundamentally changed humanity so rapidly profoundly is still in its infancy. The last decades were the internet wild west, now it's off the horses and into the cars, quick and cheap doses of tainted reality diesel.
Wow so deep dude, deeper deeper dero
I often say "The world hasn't gotten worse. It was always this way. You just hear about it more." 24 hour news channels, politically motivated echo chambers , social media websites ect. have changed the information game.
No it's infact gotten better in most ways. Even just 100-200 years ago the average human lived a horrible life compared to today in just about every way imaginable.

Mainstream media and government want you to live in scarcity. When it is in fact very abundant
@@frog6054 it does not work that way.
I cut down my news and social media intake when the pandemic hit, and I can honestly say I haven't missed any of it. Sure, nobody knew where it was going, but I figured the important details would find their way to me. I've noticed that many UK newspapers frequently use the word 'fear' somewhere on their front pages, but realistically, what do I have to be scared about on a day to day level? Very little.
I'm of the opinion that if I'm destined to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and get caught in a terrorist attack or plane crash etc, that's how it was supposed to be.

@Asherah 1147 go away

@@freddyvaldovinos4735 I get it, but you’re not matter. It’s a case of wrong identification. In fact you’re the Universe itself.
Look at this comment field here; The original poster has cut down on social media and he's here to tell you. He also doesn't give a flying fuck if he lives or dies, total badass right here. We got the guy (sentientpower) agreeing "spot on mate!" (is he also scottish?), he needs to feel included (echochamber), he's just looking to agree with people. We got the guy (Asherah 1147) going "you know you're doing what you say not to do right", the guy letting people know they're not so smart, so he can feel smart, he also talks about not wasting his time arguing on here, yet uses his time ironically doing something (ranting about people on YT) that shows he's in too deep (in this shit), in other words he's fucked and social media has taken his soul already. Then we got Jaapst, who's commenting "go away", he's angry, bitter, and he's exemplifying letting his ego lash out by being triggered from a guy saying something remotely intelligent, a world of intelligent argument is his worst nightmare. Then we got Freddy, he's matter but doesn't matter... I'm gonna be honest here what the fuck is he even saying right? None of us know. He's the guy who randomly comments something, and we can't quite figure out, is he lonely? is he trying to say something profound? or, is he in fact...... just a lost spanish guy? Then sentient power again , intellectually correcting him, he needs to feel like he knows something and he's about to let you know he knows shit, which is that in fact, you are actually the universe itself (hey I'm not disagreeing). Who did I forget. Yes, then we got me, Dezzyx, some bored asshole with way too much time on his hands writing this.

Love the way you make examples of nature at the end of the video ❤️
A very Daoist approach. Do you know if he was influenced by eastern philosophy? Thank you for bringing him to my attention.
Quiet water (stagnant water) isn't good for health 😂
The third force is there. The Daoist dichotomy is reductionist and a Pretty idea
J. Krishnamurti says the same thing!
“You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”
“If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.”
“Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.”
Marcus Aurelius was spot on. And his wisdom is just as important now than ever before.
Thank you for this deep dive into the dark side of media consumption & the damaging effects of social engineering. You speak the truth when so many others attempt (and sadly succeed) to deceive, manipulate & control the masses. Wishing you much health & continued success with your channel!
Very well stated but never ever underestimate Anyone regardless. Marcus is good but he's probably never dealt with adversaries frequently, real world.
Isn't it a little odd for the ruler of a vast empire, who on a daily basis made decisions that had an impact on many lives, to say one has no power over outside events?
To the *incredible person* that's seeing this, I wish you all the best in life❤ don't over blame yourself, accept things and go forward. Don't let others define what “success” is for you. Get up, learn the skills needed and get after it, all the keys to a happy life is in your hands. Keep pushing.

Hey, thanks! Originally I was going to thank Einzelganger for this video and it's message. But I was quickly distracted by your comment, your very loving comment. Although technically you aren't, It's as though you are speaking directly to me and in a way you are. So again I thank you.
❤
Thanks for articulating this. I've always tried to keep a "zoomed out" perspective on things as well, and I think people perceive it as being apathetic because I don't keep up with every bit of news happening in the world. Because it's the same shit over and over, and will continue to repeat itself to infinity!
It’s not apathetic. It’s just not helpful to your limited time in this body.
I’ll only worry when the sun doesn’t appear for a week. Life is great
My 97 year old grandmother always says “ don’t worry just live each day “
She’s totally healthy no issues and so am I
Same my great grandfather is +- similar age and he always tells me that no matter what life stays life, moment stays moment and the only thing that matters is how you perceive it all^^
Trust me her cells are on life support she isn’t healthy. U can’t be healthy primary way at that age.
why would anyone want to live 97 years on this hell planet?

Thank you for your compliment 🙏
After years of having my shades down and TV on, living in fear of what they told me was outside, I opened my window and saw the truth. I haven't closed it since but I have turned off my tv. I get my news from the birds and they are happily tweeting!
Danke für die Botschaft, ich habe es nötig, so heute was zu hören.
This is a big reason I do not watch or read news daily. While it is important to be informed, it is too easy to get wrapped up and emotionally involved in matters that have little impact in our daily lives. All it does is give you heartburn.
My method is to curate centrist and unbiased news sources, and read summaries of news about monthly. If there is something compelling, I try to get points of view from both sides. More often than not, the echo chambers on both sides grossly overstate the other sides position. The truth is usually in the middle, and not as important as either would have you believe.
its the extreme economic gain by the rich, the growing lower class and shrinking middle class that hurts me
Love yourself and you will have no time for hurt.

There’s a tendency to focus on the negatives. the world is composed of the events and ideas that we give our attention to.
Most of it's not worth your time and the small bits that are worth your time are drowned out by a sea of nonsense
You are sooo spot on! I got rid of my News App, and within 3 days, I noticed how much happier I was/am. I still know how tragic, so many things are, but I am not being inundated with it. This leaves me with more time and energy to delve into my spiritual practice.

It is just as terrible as we make it to be - sadly most people like to _really_ make it terrible
Free will does not exist.
@@N0Xa880iUL for the deluded it does 😕
If we really think about it the world is really a terrible place to live, it is up to us to try to cope with this fact by finding meaning in our own individual ways and therefore think it otherwise, with the objective of minimizing pain and suffering. Why does man have the necessity to find meaning? Human life is cosmically meaningless we exist in an indifferent universe, perhaps even a “multiverse,” subjected to blind and purposeless natural forces, in the absence of cosmic meaning, only “terrestrial” meaning remains.
@@guillermochavez2515 man looks for meaning because he mistakenly thinks he exists as a separate individual. This is natural of course but at some point you have to question Who Am I?
If one is ripe the realisation of Oneness dissolves this I. Your true nature is the Universe itself.
@@sentientpower I am not too sure if it is a mistake for man to think like you say, I am also not sure what you mean by natural (in all sense, not just instinctive, inborn?). Aside from this, with respect to questioning "Who Am I" I don't think all humans question it in the same way and what I mean by this, at a "more conscientious deeper level" like some of us do (including myself), I think sociocultural beliefs (e.i. religion) play also a big role in it. In regards to the "Oneness" you are referring I would agree with you, based on what we know I believe we are made out of the same stuff (e.i. star dust) our universe is made out of, and therefore we are connected, and interdependent at the same time. This idea plays its role in the way "I personally" find purpose and meaning in my life.
As much as I like this channel, this video doesn't agree with me.
While I agree that mass media news and social media itself cannot be trusted; there is still a massive amount of suffering out there. And that suffering is never going to change or go away. Make no mistake; terrible things are taking place as we speak.
The only silver lining is that a lot of good, love and happiness is also taking place as well. The Buddhist approach to this; is to go beyond the suffering and accept it as a part of life.
Being constantly aware of suffering will drive you insane with depression, grief and paranoia. It will not help you spread good karma, nor will it bring more good/happiness into this world. Good leads to good, happiness to happiness; its a state of mind you must learn to control at will to be the best being you can be; its hard work, and not easy.
In a nutshell; we must never ignore, shut out or shun suffering. But we must never give in to the negativity to the point we become vessels of misery, fear and hate in the world.
but most of us aren't good with controlling our emotions, so I think it's a baby step. minimize your news consumption, spend time with yourself...learn to see positive side of the world...and eventually at some point you'll be ready to accept suffering without getting distressed or hostile.
This also makes the assumption though that watching the news makes one well informed and not just well propagandized. The news is nearly always given from a bent of fear mongering, sensationalizing, exaggerating, and sometimes outright fabrication. Avoiding this doesn't necessarily mean one is turning a blind eye to suffering, it simply means you're making the choice not to view world events through the distorted lens of fear, anxiety, and delusion.
@@Ryan-gm6ri Can you give a single example of any information that isn't biased nowadays? I think not. So it's pointless of you to say it. People like you just want to crawl in a hole and pretend everything is fine. When your next door neighbour dies of coronavirus; is that merely an exaggeration to you? Get real.
And yes; there is an incredible amount of suffering in this world. The fact that we ignore half of it is a psychological phenomenon; a mental trick we do because the stress of it would literally kill us. That does not mean it isn't real, or that it should be ignored.
@@JackSparrow-re4ql If you want to fix things external to your life, that's fine. If you don't want to, also fine. Nobody has an obligation to save the world
@@marcuswelch4515 I'm sure future generations won't judge you for saying something so egoistical. 🙄
I think it's important to understand that things pass. If you feel like you have been misunderstood, it's okay. Let it go. It's not other people's job to understand you. But that being said, compassion and communication is key
L.I.F.E stands for living in false existence
the best thing I've done is turn off the TV, I am also learning to ignore media that I have not actively seeked out. (E.g. I search for particular content when I choose to be online, without being tempted by click bait, recommendations, or those damn #shorts)
Yes all my subs only do shorts anymore. So annoying. I only watch the video in the feed of my subs, (except shorts, and no recommendations whatsoever. I recommend the browser extension "unhook". It removes those section from the website :)
Only shorts I watch are cooking videos, so it’s not so bad for me tbh
If you ignore media you haven’t actively sought out aren’t you in a news silo, reaffirming previously held beliefs. Kind of like the rabbit hole described in the video?
@@chriskriskovic5914no, I question the world around me and I seek out new and wonderful knowledge constantly.
This literally should be shared with everyone
Before I watch your videos I always say to myself "Thank you for uploading "
I have worked in a Dutch tv news programme for 8 years and most of this is true. I hardly watch the news anymore, it’s mostly negative news and a lot of info you really don’t need to know to live your life. Limiting your news intake and being very criticial of what news source you follow is one of the best things you can do.
Many good points which I agree with and have known and practiced. But....there are "bad" things that are ommitted from the news to keep people ignorant; and "bad" things that are true and so terribly horrendous that we are left with a sense of righteous anger or hopelessness, or which people may avoid or deny to avoid mental anguish. So there's a fine line to discerning truth, avoiding it, denying it, and being complicit toward injustice we feel hopeless to change, or taking action on things where our voice and action can make a difference, even if to ease our own mental anguish. Taking a walk in nature, and looking toward the good in the world will help balance and strengthen us in taking right action. It is our responsibility as good global citizens.
It’s all about balance. This is one of the rare Einzelgänger’s videos I have critique on. He’s trying to purvey the practice of “withdrawing oneself to see the bigger picture” or “stoicism” in short, which I generally agree with and practice, but the method of presentation makes it seem that everything the media portrays is overdramatised, attention-seeking and irrelevant. While the world has a way of repeating itself, it doesn’t mean that we should not care or keep abreast of the eventualities around us. He spoke of the imminence of world war 3 for example. Of course we should not hyper focus on and worry over the rhetoric. The necessity of reporting on that would be to warn humankind of how it might come about and minimise as much suffering as possible.
It is alright to keep ourselves informed, and media coverage is necessary. The key here is to find balance and detach yourself enough from events to maintain a healthy mind whilst noting reality, regardless of how harsh it may be, and the fact that what will happen will happen. Easier said than done, however.
The content and message of your videos are refreshing to the ear. It brings comfort and peace. Keep it up :)
Thank you for providing your comforting voice and words in this time of chaos
Great reflection Einzelganger. Indeed many people do NOT know the beauty outside, as well as the beautiful within.

Oh brother, exactly what I needed. Many thanks for the reminder 🙏
We so often look at the world having so negative judgment about it forgetting that every single one of us shaper reality as an individual.
One of the very best videos I've ever seen. I study journalism, and I wish more future journalists were aware of these flaws to better counter them & rethink the news industry.
Man your videos don't miss, this is becoming my favorite channel!
Finally hit 1 million subscribers, you deserve it👍
As we’re thinking about our relationship with the news it’s important to also think about how we approach it: most of time the cynicism we feel come from feeling “powerless”. Consuming (any type of) content passively is never good.
But when we actively prioritize and select what we want to be informed on, and we focus on what we CAN do to change, it can feel very empowering and fulfilling.
Listening to this reminded me of a couple things:
1. Noam Chomsky’s “Manufacturing Consent” and Matt Taibbi’s “Hate Inc.”
2. The last statement by Einzel reminded me of an Uncle Iroh quote from Avatar ➡️ “If you look for the light, you can often find it. But if you look for the dark that is all you will ever see.”

Is anyone aware that by avoiding the things that surface our insecurities we act very dangerously, as this will results in protecting our insecurities and *avoiding REAL dangers* that, sooner or later destroy us?
It's also important to keep good company that actually dares to be optimistic now and again.
I like the effort on research and argumentation on your videos, also the focus on a simple lifestyle and not diving into negativity and anxiety, it's even more important on the times we are living. I don't know if I interpreted it right but if this is a suggestion to disconnect completely from the news or that most of the cases it's useless I can't agree, if they were used to show bad and good things in balance or focusing on solutions and not the problems themselves, then they would be completely useful. Also, when we face facts like climate change, with decades of studies showing what expect us, we can't simply ignore the fact, there must be at least some appeal because it affects us all and it's not just more of the same. Well, seeing how reasonable you usually are, you probably didn't meant that, anyways congrats for the 1M, your content is way, way more useful than a lot we see here, wish you luck

Wow, I’ve seen plenty of your videos and this is definitely the best. Are you Dutch?
I rarely watch, listen to or read the news. Any news worth my attention will filter through to me from friends or work colleagues. Then I chose to follow up on that news, or not. Allows me more time to enjoy my present reality😊🇦🇺
I don't watch any news anymore. I've experienced, that if something happens, which I would consider as important, life will find other ways to inform me about it. ^^
One common theme I've began to observe about mainstream media is that there's always a focus on the negative (at least 80%) and alot of finger pointing. Anger, Outrage, Fear, Hate - it sells to the viewers. Its best to switch it off.
Please include music tracks names used in your videos. Good choices.
Great job, beautifully presented 👍

Thank you! I was talking exactly about this yesterday... thank you for doing this.
If life here ends up being just an elaborate type of video game, I'm giving it the worst fkn review possible after I die.
The Capitalist and materialist mentality weigh's everything against money, whether character, truth, morality, love and relationships. All intrinsic value of humanity and humans have been made worthless. Justice, truth and respect can all be bought, if the price is right. Though, the one that can't be bought is more valuable according to real human values. People have lost the importance of self respect and it's value.
I stopped watching news for quite a long a time. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Now even when i try, I just can't put myself to hear or watch the news, especially because the media the media in the country I live is either biased or just present terrible news. It is useless for me now, as it only presents you with the dark aspects of life and as said in the video contributes to the creation of an illusion.
The point raised here should go beyond “too many bad news are bad for us and our perception of the world.”
We could only look at the bad or the good, or nothing at all…we would still fail to get a realistic perception of the world.
There are plenty bad news daily, and plenty great news. They are intertwined. There are no bad news in hell nor great news in heaven. We live in a world where both coexist and we should all individually assess how much we need to know (rather than just consuming what media outlets have decided is more profitable) let go of what we cannot change (at least for now) and focus on where we can make a difference.
This is also a practice we should implement with everything we consume, whether it’s music, movies, social media, RUclips videos, food, people, etc.
Neither ignoring the news or overconsuming it is benefiting us. Both can lead to cynicism.
But managing our energy, educating ourselves on what we are truly curious about, building a healthy relationship with all content type, and learning how to best contribute to “the solutions” can fill our cup!
