  • Cash is king. This is a very important production, far more than what most people will realise upon first viewing.
    Today, I'll be explaining what institutions are, and how they are influenced. Or perhaps more specifically, how wealth is in the driving seat in the western world, and thus should be sought after at all costs.

    Absolutely agree! I started buying stocks 3 years ago and it's a crime that more people aren't taught about how they work.

    Brother I started watching you before you had this channel, back when you were making those Saints Row videos. I followed you when you started this one because I enjoyed your opinions, and I have to say, EVERY video you release here astonishes me because I agree with your takes through and through, and many of these are the exact same messages I try to get through to my friends and family. Keep up the good work Alex, you truly deserve for your channel to grow exponentially from here

    Moderating your desires is the opposite to craving - craving is uncontrolled and unmoderated. Rationally choosing to acquire just enough power, wealth, and fame to meet rational objectives is not a craving ... by definition.
    Alex, the philosophy you are looking for is Stoicism.

    Wealth. Fame. Power. Gold Roger, the king of the pirates attained this and everything else the world had to offer. And his dying words drove countless souls to the seas:
    "You want my treasure? You can have it! I left everything I gathered together in one place. Now you just have to find it..."
    These words lured men to the Grand Line in pursuit of dreams greater than they've ever dared to imagine. This is the time known as the Great Pirate Era!

    Hi Alex!
    I have recently started watching and listening to you videos. You have a skill of concisely explaining concepts from a very clear perspective, and in an entertaining way which always helps :) This videos paradigm was recently explained to me by my boss at work and I think has since helped me to focus on the business side of the company I work for. The perspective you explained it from has helped me understand it further.
    Thanks for all the hard work you put into your productions.
    Cheers,
    Noah

    Bro i was just thinking about how Americas values have went from focusing on a healthy family, bravery, heros, stoicism. To today, where the right amount of money is worth giving up any part of your values for, because money is worth it more than anything. That's the only thing being promoted today it feels like.
    It just makes me so sad how people are all for selling their bodies online now just because a bunch of creeps are willing to pay for it, somehow that's totally kosher and cool to everyone today when I think enabling that lifestyle sends such an awful gross message to women. "Your body should have a monetary value and it's cool you want it too". We should never support any industries that promote narcism/individualism/body-selling all because it earns money... beauty doesn't last forever and there has been very obvious and even documented damage that industry has done to their long-term mental health is immense and completely ignored for some reason.
    Add that to the focus on individualism and life-worth being tied to the amount of likes and views has made people feel isolated and unwilling to focus on their irl family/friends/relationships/self-confidence as those things are not what makes the news or goes viral. Those things end up being what is most valuable that always gives you back as much as you put into it.

    I have always had a similar theory, though broke it up in to a finance branch, military branch, and political branch (The political branch being whatever is viewed as an authority in the system, i.e. priests in a theocracy, ideologues in an ideological regime, "experts" in secular regimes, etc.).
    The modern US would be an example of finance in charge, where the political branch enacts laws that further enrich finance, and a military that is mostly used to enforce trade.
    Imperial Japan would be an example of the military in charge, where finance's sole purpose was to fund the military, and the political branch to make reforms that favored the military.
    The USSR would be an example of the political branch holding the power, where the economy and military existed for the sole purpose of supporting and enforcing the party's ideological vision.

    Mamon of Unrighteousness still holds the whole world going round and round as usual, on this case you're right
    I can understand on how there's not few idealists who ended up finishing their life off so abruptly after calculating all of the factors surrounding them off
    But then again, they can't helps recovering every wounds of human life on The World easily, as excuses can always be covered by powers, regardless of money or social clout, mental or physical, I think balances even can be different to different perspectives, what one call balance can be not to others
    It's how so many idealists regardless of their ideals or their ideologies kept rolled down over until they break down and turned into drones and forget their own higher calling, became villains or just finishing themselves off in the aforementioned abrupt ways, it's tragic, yet pragmatics just viewed them as the latest in the chopping blocks, another expendable abnormals into the meat grinders of current modern/post-modern machineries, if you can't help them directly or otherwise to these outcasts of "failures", at least try to keep praying for them to have transformations into their existences

    I know you phrased the Saudi and Vatican examples in an idealistic manner to get across a point, but it's absolutely not the case in Saudi from what I've heard, even someone from upper middle class could get relatively risk free access to that stuff, not to mention the filthy rich. So yes the social stigma surrounding those things is always there and it's strong, but saying you can't have premarital sex in Saudi for example is not true at all.

    Man that's tricky (regarding ur survey), cash is easy to pick because it translates. U can't buy food with power or fame in any stable sense. Furthermore the exchange rate of fame or power doesn't have a set price that any working class citizen can attain for food. In short, money can be quantified before ever spending it, power and fame are measured by after u try to flex it.

    Do you really believe we are wakling into the end times? My current hypothesis is that religion is our way to try and describe our human condition, and the books we read are just divine inspiration for those who found the correct path to unlocking their inner being, which then allows us to communicate with the next level, whatever that is. I think this for how dmt works in our brains, the commonality between religions, and how the 3 successful most widely studied religious beliefs also mimic the others.
    When reality and perceived fiction have way too many intersecting similarities one can't be fiction.
    Our universe is so ordered yet chaotic.
