Mr Beast passed me in s ubs..

Mr Beast has taken over me and subscribers but I have one secret trick up my sleeve book review listen it was either that or Happy Wheels part 200. I should have done Happy Wheels part 200. here's what I'm gonna do six books that changed the way I think to show that I don't care I no longer care about Subs the first book I know you have

never ever heard of this thing Buddhism what is that thanks Ryan the anthology of the Pali Canaan if you want to read Buddhism go ahead here you go read it knock yourself out I see you in a couple years but thanks to the Buddha's words a summary you can get to all of the good bits and Skip all of the repetition there's a lot of repetition

in the pelican and what have I declared this is suffering I have declared this is the origin of suffering I have declared this is the cessation of suffering I have declared this is the way leading to the sensation of suffering I have declared why have I declared that okay fine this one also has a lot of repetition but it obviously has a lot of interesting things

and I'll summarize the bits that stood out to me we're all gonna land okay follow along yeah and we're all gonna die what the do you do in between only acceptable answer watch PewDiePie all day okay you're good Buddhism looks at life as suffering now I don't personally subscribe to this idea but they go into depth of talking about craving and suffering and this sort of

opened my eyes up to self-control according to Buddhism craving is suffering if you want something you are suffering as a consequence and I know what you're thinking you little smart ass well if craving is suffering all I have to do is get the thing homeless people just buy a house look at this dude giving in to every craving that he has suffering don't work like that

bro sure it might satisfy you in the moment but after that you're gonna want another and then another or a big or a better at eBay where does it end well never if we will go on forever you will keep wanting stuff and crave forever and be reborn in the will of samsara think listen I didn't make that up the book cited if you think about

your existence as a mere probability and you already existing being a testimony to that being a possibility and if time is infinite or even just space is infinite then what's not there to say that to me this is really about self-control control of your body and don't live as a passive passenger so to reduce the suffering of craving is not to limit it and it's not

to give in to it or cheat days but it's to be free from it by uprooting it oh this really helped with my own problems in the past I've talked about it and I'm free from it hooray but I think in general self-control is something it helps you examine yourself and what you want and why you want it and is this really going to help you

with anything live life good don't live forever bad Buddhism next book arid Doddle let me say that normally Nikka McCain ethics wow what a fun title Please tell me more Felix okay I will Aristotle the greatest one no no no they're one of the greatest philosopher of all time he studied under plate though he taught Alexander the Great himself he said all these amazing things thought

women had less teeth than men you could have just checked bro you had a wife I Googled it bro what happened I want to know Nick McCain ethics is the first philosopher book that I read that discusses the idea of happiness and 2 300 years or whatever later it is goddamn relevant so some of us may look at happiness as reaching wealth Fame pleasure wrong I

tell you why it's wrong because these things can be stripped away from you in the moment [Music] not happy anymore that is not happiness happiness is what the Greeks use the word for yudamonia I think that was the most Swedish way to say that yudamonia it's a a state of being of flourishing as an individual ah so happiness nothing no one can take away from me

more of a goal than anything and you reach it by actively being good making the right choices and practicing virtue as a habit to oversimplify all of that don't go on Twitter and Instagram those are bad habits okay stop it virtue is an active choice that you as an individual have to make and we usually know about it we just don't like to think about it

but also philosopher okay sure absolutely but don't sleep on Epictetus wait a minute sleep on sleep on Epic days by epictators last name base name on the very first page he describes stoicism perfectly it's almost like they came up with it there are things in life that you can control and there are things in life that you can't control don't worry about things you can't control

okay for example whenever I drive in Japan it's really difficult because the GPS a lot of times will tell me left but I can clearly tell that the road is going right so in that moment I have to make a decision based on my intuition should I go left or right and somehow I always pick the most goddamn choice and my 20 minute trip is all

the sudden one hour just because of the guys but that doesn't annoy me anymore because of stoicism stoicism has lately become more popular and it can of course be applied to anything they talk a lot about anger and why that's not a useful emotion but I don't think people fully realize to what extent they took this idea stoicism was a school of thought that came up

during very trialing times during under tyranny burned down my house heck of all my belongings take my arms take my legs don't take my legs but you can never take my virtue to me stoicism is all about Freedom you can be the richest and most powerful but you can still ultimately be a slave if other people are controlling your actions if you have fear of losing

what you have then you are ultimately being controlled by it and we all have ideas and opinions of what is good and bad for example dying is bad right wrong you're wrong at least according to stoicism they compare fear of death for example as similar to a baby crying about not what getting what they want because dying is sort of part of nature you cry baby

good or bad doesn't exist it's just something that we made up the only thing that is true is what is according to Nature and I think one of the things that stands out the most is that if you are in a situation of trialing times that's for a stoic an opportunity rather to display this virtue this is you demonia and that way ultimately flipping painship on

its hand doesn't exist thank you I will no longer be mad at the GPS machine I promise my point is that it's difficult okay more even Marcus complain how difficult that is gay science and know what you want to do it's okay I give you the pass the first time I read Nietzsche I read Beyond Good and Evil I didn't understand a goddamn thing don't watch

my book review it's embarrassing and I'm not gonna pretend I'm some Niche scholar now either but I had a bad time first reading him because he was referencing all these different philosophers and I had no clue who they even were after reading more philosophy coming back to Nietzsche again my reaction was still bad because I went this guy was making fun of all my heroes what

the so Nietzsche for me was a slow cook I will I will admit but the best way to understand philosophy is to understand the person behind it and the more I feel like I had done that the more I came to love Nietzsche uh he loves his words he's very great at them he's very harsh and very brutal but you understand that he targets philosophers that

he likes or that he at least admires to some degree I guess some he just hate it but you know Star Wars is him is passionless can't refute it but to me what stands out the most is his life-affirming work Niche wanted to overcome nihilism look at this book look how dark and epic and scary it is oh nihilism that's what it's all about no he

wanted to overcome it Mana there's life is suffering boohoo it's not that life is suffering it's what we do with that suffering give meaning to it we all know this already a hero's tale would be nothing without the villain it's that simple I feel like I have a lot to say about monster jamane I might keep it for another time I can tell you however before

reading Nietzsche I listened to Kelly Clarkson Stronger what doesn't kill you and I had no visible reaction now I listen to it and I go thank you Kelly Clarkson I get it now next but this one is a bit out of left field the mathematical Universe yeah I pretty much talked about all of these books already so I apologize for the repetition I have declared but

this book brought up so many scientific possibilities that I had obviously no clue about they were never taught to me in school and to me they're just mind-blowing I really don't want to sound like that one ninja tweet I can't stop thinking about Quantum fixes or whatever it is or to be that one person that brings up the double slit experiment in every single goddamn conversation

I have been that person I apologize but most of these philosophy books that I'm previously mentioned uh they were written so long ago where in a time where people didn't know much about the world or our universe for that matter so the possibilities seemed endless now we know so much about the world and I would like to know less of it okay am I the only

one with this opinion the sun is a giant ball of gas Hindu thank you so much science now I don't need an iPhone 12 instead of 11. it doesn't matter I'm joking what's really stood out the most to me in this book was the idea of parallel universes I made a video about it as well but how it's actually logically possible I feel like it it

puts me not just in the mind of all these philosophy books but also in the time it's crazy to me how ideas discussed thousands of years ago have a logical foot in science today and even philosophy about happiness still has a relevance I think this book did such a great job at describing these complex ideas in a way that's easily digestible and to me this is

very exciting I don't think we'll ever know everything but I also think that doesn't matter because we will always have philosophy next but I randomly stumbled upon this book this book launching it's written by what I think is the greatest philosopher of our time PewDiePie I don't know who that is but I would love to collaborate with him one day all right that's it oh congrats

Mr Beast obviously just joking but delete your channel as promised you have 24 hours
