Thank you for your continued support.
Much appreciated, thank you
I think it would be interesting if you make a video about how to build a system of values that isn't corrupted. It's true that fighting for your system of values makes you a hero but what if the system itself isn't yours. We may think we build it but it's nothing more than the result of our society.
You are a true hero, giving people this kind of knowledge is heroic on another level.
very timely, man thank you! can i copy the transcript and share it to my beloved ones? i promise you ill give you full credit and assure you it is not for my ego but because i want to share what i've heard/ read.
Candido auris
Ever since I was a young boy, I always had this "hero complex" I always had this dream of helping others and doing humanitarian works. My "hero complex" solidified more when my family And I were at a mall and a fire started inside and we had to evacuate the mall, it gave me a sense of me helping others get out of the building or charging towards the emergency hose to put out the fire. While growing up I still held this passion and now I'm a firefighter and an emergency responder with 4 years of experience while being a 2nd year nursing student.
Good on ya',
Lucky is the one who finds his bliss early,
May you enjoy everyday.
Im 17 and I wanna be a firefighter to. I hope I succeed. I know it's a lot of work but I feel like I can do it.
That's awesome.
A little novelette called At Last The Hero (available on Amazon) tells the story of a man damaged by not having had hero recognition in the war (WWII). When, eventually, he does become a hero, he comes to realize that heroism is not all glory and can come at a great price.
Neat, thanks for your service!
I've always had the urge of heroism since childhood, and I'm sure everyone does too. Unfortunately as we get older, many people will tell us to choose the safe path that fits conformity, because it's the path they chose. On top of that we're taught to be distracted, and live shallow lives. The hero is within all of us, but many of us give up on them. I want to remind myself and others to listen to that inner voice, instead of the voice of others. The courage to be happy is the courage to be disliked.
Spot on!
Correct my sir 💪🏽
Yes based on my experience.it's a constant struggle
Excellent, sir!

“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
That sound a bit like fundament of the Ego. Belive over perceive. Very human.
The genetical memory in every cell, the hereditary subconscious stractures of brain, former existences even, are the actual influences on destiny, and they work their impact anyway.
The questions is: to perceive them consciously and recognize their power, or to rebell and cultivate Ego.
@@lemat579 Idk. I always interpreted the whole matter of free will as either one big paradox or something that could only be achieved through thorough introspection and evaluation. No matter how you look at it, we're almost always gonna be held responsible for our conscious actions so the whole point of free will seems practically irrelevant. But that's just my interpretation.
@@lemat579 Also I prefer the cultivate ego route. It has a nice ring to it.
@@illquanbenjamin6182 yes I know😁
Ego is a psychological being, necessary for existance, only it can be fueled by gods will or by fallen angel rebellion. And the latter is the norm of course, that is the human in my opinion.

“I like it when a flower or a little tuft of grass grows through a crack in the concrete. It's so fuckin' heroic.”
― George Carlin
Books In Review ..I walk on the Moors in West Yorkshire ...I always stand and admire a big rock ..it has a crack going straight up the middle where a Holly Bush has pushed its way through to grow up towards the sky in all its lush green and red glory . I ask that I may have the same fortitude and strength during these times despite the fact that I’m no longer young !!!!!
A true hero
I like the example of past heroes potent adversaries represented as a giant fire breathing cat
I recall when I was a young lad, walking in my neighborhood, with a nearly empty bottle of water. I did not care for the water as I had quenched my thirst already and it was too tiny to enjoy the rest. I was going to just drop it but I figured I'll water some plants, perhaps a bed of flowers. But then I came across a tiny plant growing between the cracks of the pavement. I do not know why but when I saw this, I could not help but give that tiny plant the remainder of my water.
I see that more as LIFE being unstoppable. 😃
Academy of Ideas is brutally underrated, they are doing a remarkable work! Big up guys, respect! You are doing humanity a big service, thank you for your work.
They fight against the nihilism agenda of today.
"Brutally underrated" would be 150 subscrptions😁 and it's 725 thousand... Which is little in American context when for example some girl making guided tour on... her room, has a million views and subscriptions. But probably channel like this is forever lowstream.
@@lemat579 Yup, "brutally underrated" doesn't rly refers to subscriptions, more like the range of people who view/appreciate the content they are putting in youtube; which is not that many people to begin with haha... It deserves even more credit definitely!
I dont think so. U think everybody will understand his msg??
Its a mission of few to be heroes.
@@kmgfabio He who wants to see the truth shall understand, if not sooner then later. There is a shift in consciousness that is happening as far as I'm concerned. I also think that everybody can be a hero, yes. It only depends on whether or not one wants to sacrifice enough to attain his hero version. And if not, well, stagnation beckons, until it it becomes enlightenment.
Well u doing a heroic work.
🤘🔥🤘🔥
@BlazeTheDoja thanks for being the obstacles for the hero :)
@BlazeTheDoja Yea you just turned into a great little obstacle all one has to do is just leap over you and keep moving
Edward Snowden nah but didn’t he say that heroism involves self fulfilment, and isn’t food to eat necessary for a fulfilling life!
@BlazeTheDoja Or both.
The problem is while we look to others to be our heroes, we are taught that it is someone else's job and we should not get involved. So we don't and the world is crumbling and we wonder why.
We must create the change we desire. HEROIC🤘🔥🤘🔥
In Canada, it's borderline illegal to defend your own home from whatever.

@@no-one-knows321 thats horrible
That's why I think we don't necessarily need "heroes" but more responsible people, but everything is made to make us completely dependent on something (society, racial identity, national identity, ideology) and we let those things define us. But letting something like our identity to be defined by external factors is dangerous, until we stop to wait for the next guy to do something because we think he's here to save us we will not become our own heroes
Bingo was his name o
This is video is exactly what I needed. A few nights ago, I laid in bed and wonder what it meat to be a hero. I pondered on that thought for about 20 minutes. The next day I woke up having a dream where I acted as a hero!
It’s been years since I’ve been the hero in my dream and it was truly amazing to see that my psyche is finally shifting towards a hero mentality.
Boom!!! Time to take the leap of faith..enjoy the journey!!!
What was your dream, if you remember it?
You are Awesome... obviously
I've been having heroic dreams as well and I can't wait to turn them into a reality

Great movie! I have it deep in my heart forever

Mhmm, I think the idea of a Demi hero is an incredibly important one today. As it is our world has never been bigger, more interconnected, yet separated and set in its ways than ever. It would be so hard for almost anyone to effect meaningful lasting good changes in this world that does not want heroes. Even those who may have the nature and nurture to be such a great person is bogged down and attacked dealing with such issues, not to mention the environments that allow for such people to develop is poor in such a society. Because of this I believe that one can actually create much greater and more permanent change by focusing on making their life, and their small immediate world, the people they associate with, better and more heroic, than trying to take the world by storm. Focusing on smaller issues that will never go down in history books, that will in all honesty go overlooked in most parts of life, but when combined with other Demi hero’s work, will lead to those mysterious sudden cultural shifts.
This commentary is gold. The last sentence is its diamond.
Yes
"Even those who may have the nature and nurture to be such a great person is bogged down and attacked dealing with such issues, not to mention the environments that allow for such people to develop is poor in such a society."
Didnt you paid attention to the video?
7:27 "The hero is unmune to the intimidation and discouragement that easily derails the unheroic."
8:01 "Heroes are undeterred by profoundly
intractable problems and/or by dangerously potent antagonists in the face of either or both they are undaunted."
The hero MUST HAVE dauntless commitment to its values and an extraordinary talent and skill. If the hero DOES NOT posses these attributes, then, by definition, ITS NOT a hero.
If we, ever encounter such an individual it would have not been born by common means.
vapubu sdfeww I’m not entirely sure what you mean by common means, but I do know this. Undaunted and undeterred does not mean effective or successful. Even those who are truly heroic will find their abilities limited when they face a society that rejects them and at times even despises them, compared to a hero in a world that is neutral.
im I love the dialogue here. I feel this in a major way. I was a builder. Howard Roark is my hero. But with the masses at the helm, their demand dictates and controls (or should I say limits) our lives. I used to build for goals not budgets. I used sacred geometry etc, built structures that were full of energy and stood the test of time. This craft attracted individuals of high character. In these times they were wealthy geniuses. I watched this market fade away. I followed it to the end, landing myself in the Bahamas. Then one day my clients (who held me as a hero) all told me they won’t be building anything of meaning for a while. They said we are facing the greatest economic collapse the planet has ever seen. I agreed this was necessary and have been waiting for a few years. But it’s taking forever and I’m becoming the antihero. I’ve spent this time doing yoga, meditating and letting go. All I find within is this massive energy to create and to be an individual. Like I was. But it is clear, to make it in this time one must concern themselves with the masses. One must find a way to contribute to the demand of the drooling unconscious consuming masses to be relevant or even to live. In doing this I feel like I want to die. I’ve been quite suicidal but I hang on for the hope that this will soon end. All of my peers who understand what’s going on are billionaires. They created a mechanism to create wealth in this time by stooping to supply the masses so they can live a comfortable life far away from this tragedy. I did not. I have never been a part of the masses. I was schooled separately and have always lived outside of society. I feel appalled by it. In doing my craft I never had to deal with the masses. My brain short circuits when I try think in terms of society. I’m devastated to think where we could be if we weren’t all chained to the herd. My clients were my buffer, they could deal with the masses and spend those profits creating temples with me. I never had to let my mind touch the zombie stuff. Now I’m here amongst the herd, trampled by them. Either I give in and compromise to eek out some form of life for what purpose I have no idea... perhaps I’m just too afraid to end my life but I feel a glimmer of hope that society will destroy itself soon, atlas will shrug. But every year that passes I start to lose hope. They think I’m crazy. I have checked myself in to a mental home twice. Last year it was drug addiction. I’m literally destroying myself with my own mind because I can’t understand how and why things keep going this way. I have memories of doing what I loved and the life that came with it. I can’t go on this way. I’ve gotten sober, really healthy and this hero desire wants to come back but I’ve been in society so long that it seems like an illness. I’m no longer anything like my hero the great Howard Roark from the novel the fountainhead. But I cannot let myself be a slave to the mob. I cannot let my brain try think of what they want next rather than greatness and progress. I got myself a gun but can’t bring myself to do it. I really love the hero in me. I hate the world I live in. These videos speak deeply to me but I’ve sacrificed everything for my values and am left with nothing. I’m poor too so my kids are all gone too. I’m just a washed up crazy person according to society but inside I am a genius, a hero, a divine creator. My building temples for those clients was only practice for the pyramid level creation I was capable of. Perhaps this creation of mine is now 5d instead of 3D? Like a construct of consciousness? Perhaps an arrangement of consciousnesses? Or is my pyramid myself? I’m treating myself that way. But I’m limited as to how much I can do with myself in that I can not be the man I am. I can only teach this man to accept and to let go. All feels worse than death. It’s torture of the highest degree. I’ve sat in prison this is much much worse. I’m actually thinking of trying to go to prison because in prison are hero’s kept in cages, I will be amongst my own kind and acceptance of physical incarceration is much easier than accepting being a slave to society, the doormat to the herd. Shrug atlas! 🙏🏽

ValahiaDaca21 that sounds like depression to me and I don’t think I know enough about you to give any specific advice. I would say you should try to create schedule for yourself for some goal you find of value. And I think talking to a therapist would also be a good idea.
@ 20 years ago I left home to study photography, my family couldn't help so I was working and studying. didn't have much left for food or fun after bills, but was doing what I wanted. a few months to finish the course I was exhausted, though I couldn't handle anymore, so I called my dad and told him I was giving up, I was too tired. to which my father responded: "A man never gives up" and "if you are tired, go to bed. Tomorrow you will wake up fresh to carry on"
and the next day I woke up fresh and carried on.
Still whenever I get myself in interesting challenges (and boy I get them a lot :) ), and I really want to quit, that voice comes to the back of my head: " a man never gives up".
but that is just a way to get to my objectives, I found them as I went along with trial and error, I found what I want to get tired to. had more than 20 different jobs, worked in different countries, loved different people, and saw different values. My advice is to be curious, find what you want and even if not found, enjoy the ride, as the act of searching is amazing in itself.
and never forget " a man never gives up".
have a great life!
Thanks my g, your a real one yourself✨
No more truer words Sir, The Pen is Mightier than The Sword.
How ever so powerful and poignant "truth" can be. I realize like with Jordon Peterson, these videos connect to a certain part of us that longs for truth in a world of deceit. Where the most nobal parts of us have been ignored and ridiculed. This video is one of the most amazing things I have seen. Thank you, sir. I am very grateful for your channel and hope it grows and reaches many more.
Beautiful put, thanks!

Studying psychology from sources such as this and many others have really helped me to become more understanding of others, to be harder on myself while also being more forgiving of myself.

@@BW-CC yea man, it's a beautiful thing
I remember an old article in a psychology magazine I was reading some times ago for a lecture with my pupils. It was about the hero and heroism, and the author argued that heroism naturally disappear in modern society : more and more comfort and equality make us more calm and more encline to share, and why do we have to fight for something, when we can have it through peacefull democracy, after all ? A hero is someone who have faith in deep principles, but nowadays, everything is relative, and my ideas are not better, neither worst than those of my neighbour. Last but not least, the hero always prefers the ideal over the material possessions, which is quite not the tendancies of our modern society.
Even after years, in times of introspection. I turn to your channel and works. Your creativity in melding the ideas of multiple philosophers, to form a topic of discussion. Has put forth great amounts, of knowledge and self realization into the world. Even rewatching videos I've seen many times before, I sometimes pick up a new perception of this ideas. Undoubtedly due to my changing perspective over the years. Yet the unending relevance of these ideas is so profound. Please continue with your work, I am so truly grateful for everything you do.
Academy of Ideas is one of the best things to have happened to me. Thank you for the direction🤝
man i like your direct approach to the topic, i watched a lot of your videos when i was going through tough times and each time it calmed me down and taught me something consistently. i find it funny now my brain is wired to calm down when i hear your voice and it’s so nice to just watch one of your videos when i want to relax and blow off some steam
You and "Like Stories of Old" are the two greatest channels that have been helping humans navigate life and become the best that they can be.
Many years ago I was introduced to the idea of " Hero's Journey" by Elliott Hulse. This concept has been dear to my heart ever since and right when I started to doubt my decisions and values, you came up with this wonderful video. I am really grateful and want to see your channel do good. Cheers
Thank you so much. Your videos have improved my life. Gratitude from a small town boy in India.
Gratitude is the father of all virtues.
This video could not have came out in more of a right time. I was feeling the despair, but this lifted me right up! Thank you @Academy of Ideas! I hope you guys have a good day
When I was the kid I used to love the hero, but hated the villain. When I grew up I loved the villain and I realized that I didn’t understand them.
I was always drawn to the villains and anti-heroes. Even when I didn't understand them I could relate on some level :)
When i was a kid I liked the villains, specially in Transformers, Megatron Rules, Nowadays I still like Villains XD.
The mainstream wants you to like the villains nowadays
Villians tend to be better written nowadays. We need better-written heroes!
Jado Ibra cringe
When you come to the understanding that love is the greatest "pleasure", all else follows.
Recently just came to this in my own life. Unbelievably powerful.
@Philip yes yes yes. The hero is the one most consumed my the egotistic pleasure of forgeting his stupidity and lusting over his perfecthy granDIOSity.
The Gospel in the New Testament is more about freedom than love. Loving your neighbor and your brother is the pathway to a free society. The Holy Bible is filled with stories of heroism for a reason. God calls us to be the hero he created us to be. We all have a unique opportunity for heroism!
So,
1. It is possible that we are seeing few Heroes today cause people are looking up to wrong Idols
2. Actors which are regarded as heroes mostly complain less Fulfilling life despite the fame they get cause thier Image of Hero is limited to Fiction, Face, Physic & Age
3. If Someone rises to the level of Heroism people lookupto today & educate them to divert to real Idols who can change the civilization, Will be the Real Hero of Our Time
I'm inclined to agree with these observations
The majority of us tend to place higher value in role models who behave in a more selfish and vain manner so it is no surprise when our youth begin to exhibit those exact same attributes
Always excited for an upload from you. Thank you for the video.
These videos are compelling. The information is presented clearly, and I love how the sources are displayed openly, rather than forcing interested listeners/viewers to go spend hours searching for supporting sources.
This came at a very synchronistic moment, I am so grateful.
I needed to hear this just today. Thank you for such great videos and for sharing this knowledge with everyone who is willing to listen.
This is a life changing presentation. Listen closely and often and you will benefit immensely. Thank you to Academy of Ideas for creating and posting this video!
This channel is growing immensely , so glad to see, and amazing video as usual . Thank you as usual kind sir ❣️
if you are currently online, i want to say to you that your style of making video essays has inspired me to make videos. thank you so much sir ji.
Thank you again.
I accidentally clicked on this video from my notifications and didn't even realize what channel it was till it loaded. I needed this in my life especially now. Will definitely rewatch many more times.
There are no accidents my dearest Hawa... Namaste 🙏🔥✊
I think the first step to become a hero is how to overcome our insecurities as well as any kind of complex that makes us being stuck in life. We all have such a personal mythology in which the main character is each one of us; if we look within, we'll know what we're destined to do.
Thanks for the time you put on these videos. They're very helpful. Appreciate it, Sir.

Your channel is one of the best and most important channels on CZcams. Thank you for making these brilliant videos they have really helped me.
Great job, I've loved your channel for years!
Deeply inspiring. I did need something like this video in a dark day.
King, Warrior, Magician, Lover is a tremendous book. It's incredibly useful.
These videos always come out when I need them most. Let’s aspire to be the greatest selves we can will ourselves to be!
Soo thankful for this channel! Please keep up the fantastic work ✌🏼✌🏼
Awesome videos here. Love how relatable and thought out these are. I think an interesting topic would be an in depth structural analysis of the authoritarian conscience; specifically as talked about in 'Man for Himself', by Erich Fromm.
I'm full of sin. Addiction to short term pleasures and no legit value system, typical north american. My journey of heroism is when I travel in a few months to south america and live a year within a christian enclave where I am taught the values of the faith and actively helping others. And keeping those values afterward.
Just like the video and Bob Dylan said. We all gotta serve someone.
You’re choosing wisely.
Excellent. Which community?
The best part of this channel is the info density. Many other channels with the same topic use double the time to pack in half the amount of the relevant information.
Great job narrating, love the artwork u choose too!
Absolutely brilliant. Phenomenal. The shattered men of this generation and future needs this now more than ever.
My account's name represents the hero of our modern days.. I love you for your showing of courage and how you stand up for the general conscience, mr. Edward Snowden!!
This is the sort of channel that the OG CZcams algorithm used to bless me with, I wish I could adjust my settings to get these and similar videos recommended all the time. It’s crazy what a cache of knowledge there is here that I was never directed to (guess I’ll just have to binge watch over the next few months).
Thanks man, God bless 🙏🏼

That's... That's why I'm also on this video... THANK YOU! Man CZcams can be tough. I am also here because I do have passion for heroism.
@@joltacks thx for proving my point.
The Age of Heros was killed when the governments of man discovered ways to manipulate people into thinking its impossible to achieve more and that governments are the sole source of luxuries.

I’ve been journaling about this a lot. And if we look at heroes from stories or movies or people from the past. A lot of the times they are warriors. They are glorious. But in today’s age there is no place for warriors and I can’t recall a single person today that is “glorious”. So now the question is, what do we do about that?
You're not looking hard enough. We see heroes every day... but you've got to know how to recognize them.
There's a lot of comedians that are heroes....
A lot of therapists & life coaches...
A lot of writers, artists, musicians...
A lot of people in asylums and group homes....
A lot of very special children....
Hopefully this helps it click for you. ❤🙏
