Laziness certainly does exist. I think it’s important that more recognition is being given to neurodivergence, however labelling away different forms of laziness, does not mean you are incapable of being lazy. I had ADHD and I can be lazy, yes they are not mutually exclusive - but if you explain away all your flaws then you’ll eventually just embrace them entirely.
@@Oscar_ArmstrongThat is true, but to a certain extent. I fell into the trap of trying to unlabel everything, up to the point that everything can be chalked up to either personality or 'character type'. And that does do a disservice to people who actually suffer from disorders or collections of dysfunctional behaviours that can be lessened and/or treated through proper medical and psychological health care. That's when I embraced my own (properly diagnosed by a medical professional) ADHD, am undergoing treatment and feeling much better. People do have a tendency to label themselves OCD or ADHD by recognizing one or two behaviours and then self-diagnosing. That's bad. Recognize bad behaviours, fix them if they bother you, but don't self-diagnose without following up with a professional. (this turned into more than 2 cents, sorry)
Laziness is just an invention of capitalism. Purposefully not being productive/profitable for a period of time can be actually therapeutic or what you need at the time
Good to see someone make this point. Didn't David Graeber write on "lazy" in an essay? I know there's some argumentation around it in his "On BS Jobs" essay, but I thought he had another work on it but I'm getting way too many search returns that just point me back to the original essay.
And when I spend 2000 hours on wildrift, instead of going to college? I haven't even tried streaming to see if I become popular Is that laziness?? It feels pretty laze to me, and I'm living it. But I also hate doing anything at all. I just wanna sit down and play a game of league or wildrift and "challenge" myself to perform better and learn more about the skill and lore of the game. But I hate going to my job, I've convinced myself I have adhd and dyslexia even though I haven't been diagnosed, and I tell myself that if I go to college I'll just flunk out due to shortcomings outside of my power. When in reality I probably could do it if I really put the effort behind it!! But never in my life EXCEPT for gaming have I ever felt the motivation to such a thing.
@@MercurialDecreeit can also be avoidant tendencies. It may look like laziness from the outside (= just don't want to work), but you need to ask yourself why not; do you actually want to do the thing? if yes, why; if you want it, but don't even try because you think you are terrible and suffer from low self esteem and catastrophic thinking, than its those issues and not laziness you meed to work on. You could have ahdh/ something else , but that doesn't mean there's no way of managing it, getting support and accomodations.
@black-nails you bring up great points (the ones I came to make)! And also, another one I have learned about recently is, pathological demand avoidance. Trauma response.... and all those you listed (and I'm spacing on) are really things to dive into. I'm "busy" quite a bit. And even when I'm not, it feels like I am... (from what my body and brain are doing or because my young kiddos need something.... but i cant ever finish anything. Tbh half the time i dont even bother starting. Sigh.) I was raised in a very old school fundie but more solemn family/religion. everyone, even extended family, going back generations... so there was a lot of shame and worry about moral failings, and there was no safe person i could talk to about things and my differences. at almost 45yo, I'm still working through... and learning so much about myself, the world and finally getting the confirmation that the things I was calling bs on actually are bs. Idk if this is considered trauma dumping, Apologies if so... my old ass is still learning how to be social, not to mention what the hell to do with/on social media. It's definitely rambling. Gigglesnort.
Oh, is that why labor camp populations outpaced the normal working population's growth rate in the USSR? They just valued free time so much they forced people to work?
The need to "be productive" all the time and the feeling of worthlessness when you aren't are intrinsically tied to capitalism. Within capitalism, human worth is often defined by your ability to "produce work" (hence "being productive") and increase capital for your employer. People who don't contribute to the production of goods and services are viewed as "lesser than". This "productivity" mindset doesn't just exist at the workplace, people often take this mindset home with them and apply it everywhere else in their life. It's not strange that there is a large stigma against people who want to relax (be lazy) and enjoy some peace in their life. Your boss doesn't make any money from you relaxing, unless relaxing restores your energy to "be more productive" in the near future.
You're right about people taking this mindset at home. I sometimes feel guilty for not drawing or writing as much as I "should", even though... Why do I care? I'm not even making money off this stuff, why do I even care about being productive in my hobbies?
You know there businesses where the employees make more than the "boss", yes? This is the standard for every single business that goes out of business. Rich people are beholden to criminals, judges, lawyers, and circumstance. "Freedom" is just a word.
As a 28 year old whos finally coming to terms with my ADHD (went undiagnosed for years), i always gaslight myself into thinking my adhd symptoms are just me bejng lazy, but I know I can put in the work when I need to. I jusy find it so hard to keep on a task or even start one
Gonna HIGHLY recommend the book Laziness Does Not Exist by Dr. Devon Price. I feel like so many people in the comments will relate to it, because even though it tackles the concept of “laziness” overall, the author is Autistic and there’s definitely a neurodivergent perspective woven throughout. It’s my favorite book to recommend for abolishing capitalism brain rot. :)
When I got chronically ill, I realised that laziness sometimes is your body telling you that you need to take a break. It's just that capitalism doesn't want to align to what the humans needs
As someone whose slowly getting out of a year + depression (a long term laziness) this channel has been really helpful in terms of motivation and not getting discouraged. Not sure how long this will last but I'm grateful for these talks ❤
I have bipolar and ADHD. I don’t know if ADHD is like this without the bipolar DLC, but one of the most depressing parts of my experience is genuinely getting so excited for new projects, sometimes spending funds I shouldn’t for supplies in preparation for said project, doing it once, and losing all motivation, and not doing it again. Then, I just add it to the pile of things that I have started but not finished. I fucking hate it. P.S. Noah, you’re awesome. I hate that we’re bipolar, but I feel really seen when I watch your videos like this. Thanks dude
@m4tt707 I have ADHD and MDD, I do exactly the same thing, like exactly. I get super excited, plan it all out, buy too much, spend too much usually. Don't finish the project, or only do it for a short time. Then all of that crap just gets added to the rest of the projects and hobbies I started, gave up on, or never finished. It's a neverending cycle, and it's so frustrating.
I can totally relate to this. I am a 41 year old high school psychology teacher and a dedicated stepfather and boyfriend. I am responsible and do what I have to do keep up my house, make dinner, and teach my students. But, I want nothing more than to lay down on my couch and game after a long day at work. I feel irresponsible, but there is only so much I can do. On top of it, the district that I work for keeps piling on more and more responsibility for teachers, a lot of which is only necessary for state regulations and funding like data collection and analytics. It eats up so much time that I'd rather spend preparing for my students or being a good father.. or reading for fun. Our administration always talks about self care, but they always find one more thing to tack on our schedule. I've outsourced so much of the BS to ChatGPT just to make it look good, and then I focus my attention on the serious stuff that affects my students like grading, planning, etc. It's sad how much the grind set culture has impacted and penetrated into our society.
Dude you're literally describing ADHD. Most of us are exactly the same! I will say though - maybe ADHD and other neurodivergent "conditions" are not medical disorder and are in fact just natural personality types, part of the diverse spectrum of our species. We have an inbuilt intolerance of power structures, injustice and having someone else dictate our actions. We're like humanity's natural immune cells against exploitation and authoritarianism. I firmly believe that many of humanity's greatest explorers, inventors, artists, musicians and story tellers were and are similar personality types. Personally I think we need to stop letting the exploiters define us. We need to define ourselves and live our lives as our nature intended. I think if we all supported each other to achieve that, capitalism or whatever techo-feudalism has overtaken it would crumble.
Neurodivegence isn't personality type, it's a type of neurological development. We are not better than neurotypicals, we are all needed- that's the point of diversity. There's tons of people who who autistic/ have adhd and they still support totalitarianism and other harmful issues. Having black and white thinking, having precise moral compass can all be good things, but it all depends on inner values of specific person.
@@black-nails You are correct that neurodivergence isn't necessarily a "personality type". Do you agree that people's neurodivergence (adhd, autism, ocd, etc.) can effect their personality?
@@black-nails oh I know fully what the medicalised definition is. I'm just sceptical about whether the medical model is the best way to view these issues. And I never claimed NDs are better than NTs.
This just might be the most relatable thing of yours I’ve watched. The inability to do things that are really important TO ME even after years of building up the technical skills…sucks ass.
I just saw something that said procrastination is all about a desire to regulate negative feelings immediately instead of completing the task that needs doing.
I'm just out here feeling blessed I have a dishwasher machine. So thank you for that. Also one quote I saw somewhere that changed my views on lazyness "The world doesn't work at 100% productivity 100% of the time, so neither should you". Great video and keep it up buddy
Noah I needed this. Life has been challenging me in ways I have no control over and I am just so stressed. I am so TIRED for no reason and I haven’t been this way for while. I’m just defeated. And this video is so comforting to me. I feel seen. I needed this. Thank you.
Noaah buy a pair of reuseable cleaning gloves and use them when ur doing the dishes. No ppl complaining but no touching icky nasty wet food in the sink
"Now if you're feelin' kinda low 'bout the dues you've been paying Future's coming much too slow And you wanna run, but somehow you just keep on stayin' Can't decide on which way to go I understand about indecision But I don't care if I get behind People livin' in competition All I want is to have my peace of mind Now you're climbin' to the top of the company ladder Hope it doesn't take too long Can't cha see there'll come a day when it won't matter Come a day when you'll be gone I understand about indecision But I don't care if I get behind People livin' in competition All I want is to have my peace of mind" - Boston, "Peace of Mind"
Noah - as someone who ruminates about a lot of the same paradigms, these videos feel like the informed and aware interactions i am magnetised to in the sense of trying to form connections with people who have the informed worldview i'm trying to cultivate. It's the conversation i'm struggling to have with a lot of people around me.
This was a nice hang-out, esp bc I'm puttering too, finishing a giant load of dishes & re-organizing a cupboard after doing fresh laundry while reflecting on similar things. I've been considering doing YT for a few years, bc I was in arts + media before needing disability & I've organically accumulated enough outlines/ideas for a couple years of content while absorbing norms of the medium/genres I like as I listened + watched RUclips during my health crisis. I was visible in my last writing role in my community. It was pure terror even tho it's the smallest of potatoes. I want to create bc that's how I do community. But that tiny slice of "people I don't know knowing me beyond my byline" was freaky beyond belief & I've been thinking a lot about how platforms like this could somehow yield the same reach as my college radio station. I just wanna find my weirdos again. Anyways I've been wondering if I'm healed enough + resilient enough to try something again. I dunno it's been weird years lately. But we only have 1 life at a time, so? Thanks Noah. I kinda needed this even if it pointed me towards more questions than answers. There's no hurry tho. More questions are fine if they're leading me the towards "better".
i feel the selective laziness myself but for literally anything, maybe it's something else idk. I do feel that my lack of inspiration doesnt lead me to putting something out tho, but that makes sense like why would i want to take a few days to put this out if i dont feel super inspired? idk it's hard to get out of the rut ive been in the last month especially. Great vid once again
same.. i kinda don't care anymore. i just wanna do nothing and i'm no longer ashamed about it. why would we wanna make rich ppl richer anyways? i mean... i watch the squirrels outside my window and i'm like, you really have it figured. what in the literal F are we doing?
As a 31 year old who suffers from gaming addiction. Every avenue of success I’ve had in my life has come with quitting gaming for a long term period of time. But just like a drug addict, I relapse and buy a 2,000$ gaming rig and live like a crack head for months/years of time straight. I’ve been lucky to have a lot of success in my life and make over 100,000$ a year, but I’m currently coming off a 2 year gaming binge and I really need to cut that shit out of my life for good. I just sold my rig again and I’m looking forward to this next run of “sobriety”. Life does truly get better when you stop gaming for 12-14 hours a day and go outside and invest time and energy into relationships. The “I don’t have energy to do XYZ” doesn’t come from being tired from: your job/social outings/physical exercising, it comes from being a fucking hermit and NOT subjecting yourself to things like that for a long period of time.
thing bout me is ion even wanna change the world or leave a mark in any way i just wanna be able to live freely and stress free and not have to worry abt money as much thats what id call a win
I think a lot of People including myself are naturally going to put more energy into fulfilling intrinsic motivations vs the external motivatiors. Thats what this video reminds me of
How do you learn about the algorithm? i don't got the time an energy for a yt channel right now but planning to later this year when I'm finished w school. Also relate so much to doing the bare minimum, why would you do any more when you're not interested in it?
(sorry for a billion words, btw) First I'll just say that in my experience, analytics feel like they've always just poisoned me. And sometimes I see smaller creators like...lose their mind trying to pore over analytics that have 100 subscribers, and it just gets them to see "patterns" that aren't there and chase shadows, and work hard on things that aren't their passion. I still look at them, but I never really know what to learn from them other than "this thumbnail could be better"--like a week late into the video being out, when there's a billion other factors and stuff. It feels like guessing sometimes, and I know there's things I could do better but... I guess I just hope people find their way to things. As someone who...bridges a fair few number of topics, I've seen a lot of different youtube creators spaces that all have their own gospels of what the best practices are and what to fixate on, how often to post, etc etc etc. What I've mostly learned from these spaces is that there's no right way.... to an extent. If you want to do essays but you're listening to advice for minecraft streamers or something, yeah... you're gonna get it wrong. If you read "post once a week or YT won't say hi to you anymore at the gym" ...maybe weigh the context you're in and that essays can't be weekly without (as we've seen recently) cutting some corners that *should not* be cut. I've stuck to uhh...more or less "being myself" because I know that otherwise I'd go insane if I had to stick to one singular topic niche. Like, for example, I make stuff about history games... but I'm eventually going to run out of angles to dissect the genre from, games to talk about, things to say that don't just sound like a reskin of an old conversation. Buuuuuut, that's not the only thing I'm interested in, and so even if some people prefer to niche down their content because of the algorithm and best practice, or even though some people prefer their channels they sub to to "stay in their lane" --I just can't follow that advice, and honestly, I think that makes me less replaceable, not more. It sounds super narcissistic maybe, but people come to the channel less for the thing the video is on, and more because they want my perspective on a thing, or guidance in learning about it, or just... idk, my bad taste in meme edits. I remember being super afraid that the algorithm would hate me for not sticking to one niche, and for sure it... botches some releases more than others (like, takes 2 months to realize what the audience *should* be), but for the most part, that's a fine trade off, especially when, eventually things still find their place more often than they don't. I remember thinking maybe nobody was interested in my Iraq video, or that it just wasn't to the right standard, or had a terrible thumbnail... and then like a week ago, after half a year, it just started getting views and the reaction has been super positive. And I remember sometimes people pour a whole year of academia into papers that get read by like 4 people... and how that sucks in its own way, even if it's "for a grade"-- and a video getting even 10k views is like... a full venue of people. I love youtube, it sucks c:
Laziness is contextual, it's is when your lack of effort needs to be addressed by another. This is common at my job. Now I just narc because your laziness is not sending me home 2 hours later.
I work hard at work, but I kinda shut down outside of work beyond working out at the gym. I can never keep up with my hair, clothes, etc I'm lazy in those aspects that are supposed to be enjoyable for females, but I'm not lazy at all at work or at the gym.
Idea for next video: but can you succeed at youtube if you kinda want to start a channel but you're too lazy to even do that Just throwing it out there

But I don't care if I get behind
People livin' in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind
Now you're climbin' to the top of the company ladder
Hope it doesn't take too long
Can't cha see there'll come a day when it won't matter
Come a day when you'll be gone
I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People livin' in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind"

Never change Noah
I needed this!
Noah - as someone who ruminates about a lot of the same paradigms, these videos feel like the informed and aware interactions i am magnetised to in the sense of trying to form connections with people who have the informed worldview i'm trying to cultivate. It's the conversation i'm struggling to have with a lot of people around me.
Maybe it's time for us to stop being lazy and develop new methods to promote our worldviews in ways that work.
cool series Noah keep up the honesty and realness
Needed this video thank you
I love these videos.
It's interesting how many creators are creating these types of channels.
Good luck with the Thailand trip! 👏🏽
i'm so lazy i couldn't even be bothered to watch this vid til the end
Why are these videos so good
Thank you for reminding me that I'm not insane. Subbed.
feel this exact way bro
Up I have risen. Thank you Noah for sharing.
As a video creator myself, holy shit dude this premiere trick is wild i never knew it. Also never knew you did music videos too
coming from youtube recommend; SUBBED
9/10 times it’s literally Daddy’s money.
This was a nice hang-out, esp bc I'm puttering too, finishing a giant load of dishes & re-organizing a cupboard after doing fresh laundry while reflecting on similar things. I've been considering doing YT for a few years, bc I was in arts + media before needing disability & I've organically accumulated enough outlines/ideas for a couple years of content while absorbing norms of the medium/genres I like as I listened + watched RUclips during my health crisis.
I was visible in my last writing role in my community. It was pure terror even tho it's the smallest of potatoes. I want to create bc that's how I do community. But that tiny slice of "people I don't know knowing me beyond my byline" was freaky beyond belief & I've been thinking a lot about how platforms like this could somehow yield the same reach as my college radio station. I just wanna find my weirdos again. Anyways I've been wondering if I'm healed enough + resilient enough to try something again.
I dunno it's been weird years lately. But we only have 1 life at a time, so?
Thanks Noah. I kinda needed this even if it pointed me towards more questions than answers.
There's no hurry tho. More questions are fine if they're leading me the towards "better".
bro sounds like morty from rick and morty, noah genuinely sounds like grown man morty
Safe travels to you!
11:30 I feel seen. Thanks for that :)
It was fun hanging out w you for 12 mins
its about doing the best job you can moment to moment and reducing suffering
Efficiency is clever laziness 😉
the emptier my my is the happier i feel. thats why i live a minimalistic and lazy lifestyle
brokeback mountain is an incredible film
i feel the selective laziness myself but for literally anything, maybe it's something else idk. I do feel that my lack of inspiration doesnt lead me to putting something out tho, but that makes sense like why would i want to take a few days to put this out if i dont feel super inspired? idk it's hard to get out of the rut ive been in the last month especially. Great vid once again
same.. i kinda don't care anymore. i just wanna do nothing and i'm no longer ashamed about it. why would we wanna make rich ppl richer anyways? i mean... i watch the squirrels outside my window and i'm like, you really have it figured. what in the literal F are we doing?
Clean dish gang
glad I found this channel
10/10 would recommend
Brokeback Mountain is an AMAZING movie. A beautiful, tragic romance
As a 31 year old who suffers from gaming addiction. Every avenue of success I’ve had in my life has come with quitting gaming for a long term period of time. But just like a drug addict, I relapse and buy a 2,000$ gaming rig and live like a crack head for months/years of time straight. I’ve been lucky to have a lot of success in my life and make over 100,000$ a year, but I’m currently coming off a 2 year gaming binge and I really need to cut that shit out of my life for good. I just sold my rig again and I’m looking forward to this next run of “sobriety”. Life does truly get better when you stop gaming for 12-14 hours a day and go outside and invest time and energy into relationships. The “I don’t have energy to do XYZ” doesn’t come from being tired from: your job/social outings/physical exercising, it comes from being a fucking hermit and NOT subjecting yourself to things like that for a long period of time.

Why did this make me laugh 😭

I know I already commented but would you mind real quickly telling me what this premiere pro feature is called or how to find it? Thanks man
i havent made a video essay in months because I literally cant afford a harddrive rn :(
I do miss making video essays and editing them
I think a lot of People including myself are naturally going to put more energy into fulfilling intrinsic motivations vs the external motivatiors. Thats what this video reminds me of
How do you learn about the algorithm? i don't got the time an energy for a yt channel right now but planning to later this year when I'm finished w school. Also relate so much to doing the bare minimum, why would you do any more when you're not interested in it?
Bro you’re now my parasocial best friend hell yeah. Liked & subscribed.
WERE BACK BABY
2:27 Is me in a nutshell 😂
The purpose of life is experience and legacy.
pls make more videos with your cats
Man, I wish I was on kitty cat island :///
friend of da show hii
As someone from Liverpool, I really wanna know where you found that LFC shirt
Do you ever just go to the drier to find a new shirt and pants?
(sorry for a billion words, btw)
First I'll just say that in my experience, analytics feel like they've always just poisoned me. And sometimes I see smaller creators like...lose their mind trying to pore over analytics that have 100 subscribers, and it just gets them to see "patterns" that aren't there and chase shadows, and work hard on things that aren't their passion. I still look at them, but I never really know what to learn from them other than "this thumbnail could be better"--like a week late into the video being out, when there's a billion other factors and stuff. It feels like guessing sometimes, and I know there's things I could do better but... I guess I just hope people find their way to things.
As someone who...bridges a fair few number of topics, I've seen a lot of different youtube creators spaces that all have their own gospels of what the best practices are and what to fixate on, how often to post, etc etc etc.
What I've mostly learned from these spaces is that there's no right way.... to an extent. If you want to do essays but you're listening to advice for minecraft streamers or something, yeah... you're gonna get it wrong. If you read "post once a week or YT won't say hi to you anymore at the gym" ...maybe weigh the context you're in and that essays can't be weekly without (as we've seen recently) cutting some corners that *should not* be cut.
I've stuck to uhh...more or less "being myself" because I know that otherwise I'd go insane if I had to stick to one singular topic niche. Like, for example, I make stuff about history games... but I'm eventually going to run out of angles to dissect the genre from, games to talk about, things to say that don't just sound like a reskin of an old conversation. Buuuuuut, that's not the only thing I'm interested in, and so even if some people prefer to niche down their content because of the algorithm and best practice, or even though some people prefer their channels they sub to to "stay in their lane" --I just can't follow that advice, and honestly, I think that makes me less replaceable, not more. It sounds super narcissistic maybe, but people come to the channel less for the thing the video is on, and more because they want my perspective on a thing, or guidance in learning about it, or just... idk, my bad taste in meme edits.
I remember being super afraid that the algorithm would hate me for not sticking to one niche, and for sure it... botches some releases more than others (like, takes 2 months to realize what the audience *should* be), but for the most part, that's a fine trade off, especially when, eventually things still find their place more often than they don't.
I remember thinking maybe nobody was interested in my Iraq video, or that it just wasn't to the right standard, or had a terrible thumbnail... and then like a week ago, after half a year, it just started getting views and the reaction has been super positive. And I remember sometimes people pour a whole year of academia into papers that get read by like 4 people... and how that sucks in its own way, even if it's "for a grade"-- and a video getting even 10k views is like... a full venue of people.
I love youtube, it sucks c:
Does anyone know what he is talking about?
Laziness is contextual, it's is when your lack of effort needs to be addressed by another. This is common at my job. Now I just narc because your laziness is not sending me home 2 hours later.
dude you are doing the dishes
“The woke mister beast” 😭😭 i like that
You're a smart dude
i love my noah time😋😋
Liverpool football club t-shirt. What’s the story behind that one?
I work hard at work, but I kinda shut down outside of work beyond working out at the gym. I can never keep up with my hair, clothes, etc I'm lazy in those aspects that are supposed to be enjoyable for females, but I'm not lazy at all at work or at the gym.
u remind me of the midnight gospel and even sound like the main character
Idea for next video: but can you succeed at youtube if you kinda want to start a channel but you're too lazy to even do that
Just throwing it out there
This guy is funny without trying 🎉
We need a "small business" counter on these lmao
LIVAPOO
Why u got a Liverpool shirt lol
You are cool😊
