We know the style of this "What I've Learned" series is much different than Blank on Blank. But we approached this project differently, taking illustrations created by Joe McKendry and turning them into an animation. This is a different route than the more classically animated work like we did with Blank on Blank.
Thanks for the new series! The videos are really cool. The one critic I have is the intro "Its all about wisdom..," pulled from one interview and applied to all others seems out of context; as though those being interviewed are acting as an authority imparting wisdom, when that was not the content or original purpose of their individual interviews. I understand it may be representative of the goals of the series, but I dont think it accurately represents the subjects. Id love to hear your take on it and the behind the scenes production decisions that go/went into choosing the introduction. Excited for more videos!
Hi. Thanks for the note. Actually it was the intention as the interviews were all gathered specifically for Esquire's "What I've Learned" section, and those edited interviews are literally about wisdom imparted by the individual on tape.
Honestly has a David Firth kind of vibe

/// //// Political Systems are essentially an invalid, logically defective, flawed man made construct or concept because Economic Systems are the meaningful (substantive) determinant which makes all the difference. For instance Capitalism enables citizens to own property, and utilize capital to produce profits.
Humans had the ability to self sustain human life (at the individual + species level) for millions of years prior to the invention of government.
The only logical necessity, humans need to survive is property rights. The right to absolutely..
1) 100 percent ownership of our lives immediately upon birth.
2) 100 pct ownership of all property we create ourselves, and or properly acquire from others in a mutually agreeable exchange, and or inherit, and or are freely given by others who properly acquired it.
the logical basis for property rights is
1) without the ability to own the food (we had the foresight to grow or trade for) humans are unable to self sustain human life .. without depending on the mercy of others, (typically) the evil humans who might take our lives and our property (if property rights didn't exist).
the creation of governments, even our American Democracy,
1) is improper because for instance the concept of Democracy is flawed because despite the number of humans who create a majority (need, want or desire) it's imperative that majority opinion never have the (Authority or Permission) to prevail if their opinions violate the Rule of Logic.
2) Democracy at it's best is simply duplicating Rule of Logic and at it it's worst is (improperly) thwarting Rule of Logic.
3) if a (99 out of 100) majority opposes (1 opinion out of 100) this can't change the fact it's improper to consider anything other than the (appropriate) Logic, (which although redundant, must never violate property rights). Unless i myself error'd (formulating property rights) because i will switch to superior logic (instantly as soon as i understand it) because i always win when logic itself wins. Logically, every logical human wins every time any human comes nearer to properly interpreting the logic of any logically flawed thesis.
Logic is factually similar to math + science. When logic is properly formulated or templated for the first time it's essentially already optimal or near reaching optimal attributes + properties which are typically able to stand until improved upon but eventually plateaus as nearly maintenance free.
I've formulated logic similar to (my best attempts to interpret the logic) (Ayn Rand created). My version adds the fact that prior to the creation of governments humans weren't dependent upon governments thus the creation of governments added a dependency which didn't exist prior to the invention of governments. The words dependency + independent are opposites. One example of our democratic governments failure of Democracy is where the invention of our Social Security Administration error'd by inventing social security + medicare taxes because they (those taxes)
1) violate property rights, and property rights exist as a logical necessity, not an (assumption or first premise). The only premise if any which property rights are based upon is an absurdity i wouldn't mention except to provide the only (assumption or premise) not already defined in the paragraph describing how property rights must exist or humans won't be able to sustain human life without depending upon the mercy of others. The necessity for property rights to exist (to be able to sustain human life) stems from the near absurd but necessary (first assumption or premise) which is that from the point of view of a human (the fact human life exists, is a good rather than bad thing) [for us humans].
2) the fact social security spends more money than it receives (it, social security) nearly matches the definition of bankrupt. It overspends on overhead costs caused by mismanagement. And our government's plans for future generations to keep funding social security near perfectly matches the definition of a ponzi scheme.
the solution for (near all) problems democracy has created is to prosecute our Legislators for their Lawlessness where i define ( their specifically unique) lawlessness as Legislators failure to create Laws (constraining + thus omg limiting) government (Authority + thus the Permissions) it can grant itself to only the (few uniquely anomalous) logically bonafide [ DUTY's ] which for whatever anomalous reasons it's necessary for government to claim it [our government] logically must be able to deny consumers of consumer (products+services) the improved results of individual capitalist, competitive, competitors competing to become 1 of the top 99 (competently competitive) providers within their consumer (product+service) niche. In summary our democracy failed to restrict government's (Authority+Permission) to only the few (if any even exist) bonafide Logical DUTY's.
Logically, our Legislators can't grant our government (Authority+Permission) unless anomalous (DUTY) exists + this is because it would deny consumers the benefits of the improved results competitive competition guarantees.
Additionally, when government error'd by replacing [independent] self sustainability of human life by adding [dependency] upon government, the single example, our governments near bankrupt social security ponzi scheme provides evidence the [certainty] humans could self sustain life was replaced by the [uncertainty] the [dependency] upon government added and again tho it's redundant, generally speaking near everything if not everything government does replaced [independence with dependence] + [certainty with uncertainty].
In summary, i want to reiterate where government doesn't have an anomalous DUTY
1) it's inappropriate for government to deny consumers of consumer (products+services) the benefit of the improved results of competitive competition.
an additional example of our governments failure is the Licensing of Medical Doctors which artificially inflated the cost of medical care.
1) the medical care industry should be completely deregulated.
2) our government doesn't have a DUTY to even notice the medical care industry exists.
3) deregulation will result in advisory services (for instance on the internet) providing competitive advise on who is good at what + these services, as is (near) everything within pure capitalism .. near always adept at self adapting to competitive conditions, which means there's such a high probability of success that near everything will improve so rapidly all of us should be able to experience what logic proves is our birthright ( the right to absolute 100 pct ownership of our own lives + our own destiny's) (including) eternal healthy human life, here on earth for eternity (happening within our lifetimes).
voluntary instead of mandatory education will encourage humans to desire competent, timely advice.
1) an example of a forced education's waste of resources is the one quarter of a century (25years) humans are currently delayed from becoming Medical Doctors. The artificial (shortage of supply) of Medical Doctors is a direct result of government's Licensing + Regulation.
2) imagine, everyone born (for the next 25 years) being denied the ability to be a Medical Doctor. Meaning nobody born in the next 25 years becomes a MD (until, the 26th year from today). This seems to deny logic to the point of being a variant of a ponzi scheme or multi-level fraud upon logic itself.
"i go to the forest, i go to the weat fields..i go in the river..i go where the wind is..thats my church"
My Mentality exactly.
I'm with Neil on this. I've never felt more spiritual than when I was on a mountain top or deep in a lush forest. Being alone is key.
When Neil speaks I listen
Not Right Music He isnt Jesus, thats for sure!
Jim Chumley - jesus I don't care about. Not my thing. Music is where it's at in my world.
Not Right Music How can you not care for Jesus, thats so sad. Since the age of about 5 i have been into music, if it wasnt for Jesus the creator we wouldnt even have music. From musics roots; Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Howling Wolf, Buddy Guy,
And so many others were given the created God given ability to produce masterpieces of music. Music is very spiritual.
Jim Chumley When God speaks I listen.
"I think I found peace in paganism. Jesus didn't go to church, okay? So, I'm way back there. I go to the forest, I go to the wheat fields, I go in the river, I go where the wind is. That's my church." ~ Neil Young 0:23
Quotes Yes JESUS WAS CHURCH. He was kicked out of alot of churches and the first chuch he spoke in declaring who he was they tried to kill him.
Sorry first church he spoke in
@@jimchumley6568 Jesus is a demon
@@jimchumley6568 I am glad that bastard Jesus is dead
What ever happened to the more simplistic art style you guys had? It looked way more appealing and it flowed with the imagery better.
Nothing happened to it. This is a different series. But thanks for asking and for watching!
Blank on Blank Ah, my apologies.
no problem. we know our fans are used to pat smith's amazing style.
pat is amazing!!
pat directed this series with esquire ;)
Neil Young is a cool dude
Yes he is... Also, nice radical centrist profile picture kek
Hank Hill. You're right man, he is a cool fucking dude.
Hank Hill. His music pretty much narrates my life. Fucking love Neil, got most of his albums (he has about 40) and saw him live in 2016. Dudes always been a very wise person.
Lord Chocice Explain yourself
What????
The wisdom this channel gives me every now and then really stick with me. BRING THIS BACK
Missing the channel, helps me mentally alot
Same
it's really hard for my brain to process all that wisdom in 2 minutes.
Solid, ordinary food.
It's all about Wisdom in your own way
We all want clarity
So when you get close to it, you're there.
"Worshipped and served the creature more than the creator"
This is great. I'm not a pagan, but this is right along the lines of consciousness & all he states fits right in...Love Neil Young. Thank God for him.
"Sex is sex and Love is love"...
I like it when he says: "when you get close to it you`re there"
If everybody would have love in sex and stop sex without love
the world would be full of peace.
Love alone is the only way to experience really good highly energetic sex.
The wind takes me over the waves. It gets me closer.
Yea. I can vibe on that. Agreed. Well said too.
i miss this channel
the world around me is my church, its where you find the most sincerity and feeling, man neil is a cool guy.
I LOVE neil so thanks so much for this
"I like grapes and cheddar" is where my video froze xD
Neil know's a thing or two about life.
Not a bad list of wisdom, I prefer this to the over complex pretension of a lot of intellectuals. Life is deeply mysterious but we can access the best of it through very simple means.
jeez the audio really kills this
i can go along with this. thank yew
I love Neil
Sharp cheddar just got a new spokesperson.
Welcome to the animation channel.
This is fantastic! This is me!
isn't Neil Young always bitching about the quality of audio reproduction? QED
+pornocalypse the irony and the reality of a interview on cassette tape!
Is Neil trying to follow Jesus? Naturally, living with nature loving God's creation. A delight to Wisdom.
Grapes and Cheddar go togeddar.
I dig it
Would a highpass filter have gotten rid of that static hiss?
+linglingjr we went to town on the audio. Often there is only so much you can do before it loses a natural sound.
I like indulging all the things they recomend doing in this video...:)
It's about fucking time
LOVE your content, here's a few suggestions:
Nick Drake (there's a recorded monologue, very interesting. he also did an interview with Jerry Gilbert from Sounds Magazine in 72')
Ken Kesey
Joan Didion
Jackson C. Frank
Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse)
Jandek
Captain Beefheart
Timothy Leary
Noel Fielding
David Icke
Listening to some of the music of Neil Young always makes me feel he could not be pagan. I.e. No hidden path reminds me of The Lord is my Shepherd.
hello guys...
Do Tim Burton please!!
Marilyn Ponce I second this!
The audio on this is really garbled to the point where I couldn't keep listening
you would of did the words interview
If you liked this video maybe you'll like this track I made that samples the interview! Neil Young's words inspired it... So here it is hope you like it!

¿Y los subtítulos en español? ¡Fuck!
Do something with jack white or Dave grohl
Please make ERIC CLAPTON
Young niel
is that really it? its unobtainable and best you can ever hope for in life is to just get close to it?
shit, dude.... haha
I think he's just saying it's imperfect
NATURE IS GOD
beautyfades +1 for Spinoza
there is no god. Nature is random and it is amazing that in the Universe our Galaxy has a planet that we are able to show up for a moment in time and exist. Enjoy every day and be amazed by the natural world.
You must be a natural man? The creation gives glory to our great God and Savior Jesus Christ. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator, who is forever worthy of praise! Amen. Romans 1:25
i like that jimmy
How can nature be God? Nature is a created thing.
Recorded in 2006?! On what? A vintage wax cylinder?
+Lugh Summerson ha! cassette.
Jesus did attend synagogues but he did preferred the deserts hahahaha
Isn't he Canadian? 😨
Ya
I'm listening to Neil Young
I gotta turn up the sound
Someone's always yelling
Turn it down
Bob Dylan

Time Out Of Mind
"Jesus didn't go too church." booyeah. boom, furreal.
This channel needs to make new shit
neil got lost after laurel canyon. he never spoke out one word about obama
0:32 Theresa May??
Thank you, this is the tits
Wow. One of my favorite celebrities is a pagan like me? That's amazing!
I used to be into irony and making fun of others that tried to be artistic like it was artistic, but it was unfulfilling. If anything I don't care if Chris Cornell died by auto-erotic asphyxiation. More power to him, he was a good singer.
I get the impression that you cannot gain wisdom by simply asking for it, as it just sounds like rambling that gives no lessons to the audience. Isn't wisdom supposed to be useful?
s
neil's been rich too long... and lost touch with the horrific realities of common human existence.
Did I just hear Neil Young say Jesus didn't go to church? He must not have read the bible. It clearly states that Jesus went to Simon Peter when asked who he believed that he was, and Simon recognized he was the Messiah, telling Jesus so. Because of the recognition Jesus told Simon, "Upon this rock I will build my church." And what about the several times Jesus went to the temple of Jerusalem to preach, including the time he was a child and his parents thought he was lost so they went to the temple and found him there preaching Jesus said, "Did you not think to look in my father's house?" He's a good musician, but highly uneducated.
Oil Artworks The church is "the body of believers of Christ". Alot of modern churches follow what the Apostle Paul refered to as "doctrines of demons".
He went to a temple as young boy yeah. He didnt got to church every Sunday though and thats obviously what he's referring to
Jesus is a demon
This isn't Neil young the rock god
This is Neil Young the tired folky.
there woz a lotta rock gods
Neil sure woz good + he sure woz real
not sure he really woz first among equals
Interview women
we agree. alas for this series, esquire's interview archives were largely men.
they done Patti Smith and Dancing Barefoot she is blessed among women
This is ballbags!!
NEIL IS GOD!! Neil be with you.
He is just wise lol, we can all be wise like neil, that's it
well ... er .... um
sorry neil I love ya, but Jesus went to church, but it was not called church back then, people went to the temple Jesus lived a perfect life, He fullfield the whole law for us, he lived a perfect sinless life, and then died on a cross and took are judgement, and when we put are trust in what He did, we get the big exchange, He gets are sinfull life, and we get His perfect life, so when God the father looks down at me, He does not see my sin, He see the perfect sinless life of Christ. your time is running out neil, what are you gonna do about your sin problem when you stand before God, today is the day of your salvation, are you gonna put your trust in Christ, or are you gonna try and make it into Heaven on your own good works?
Jesus is devil
Some people should just shut up..... and learn how to be better musicians lol.
lol, cheddar and seedless grapes, "good in a biblical way"... except both of these foods have been genetically modified neil. love ya man but this sounds like you just smoked a big fat one, not saying anything wrong with that, not at all, but our mind does tend to wander a bit when we do. so which song did you write with frozen hands? lol.
Neal, no one is neutral. The Bible says, "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed [it] unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen."
You've committed the sin of idolatry against God. Your sin separates you from God. The Bible says you will be judged. It tells of the judgement. It says, "God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel." Jesus came to pay for your sin and mine by dying on the cross. He died on the cross and rose again, fulfilling the law with His perfect blood sacrifice. The Bible says, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." The Bible says, "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." If you repent toward God, with faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ, the Bible says you are saved from death, hell, judgment, and the eternal lake of fire.
Jesus is a cocksucker.A devil.A false prophet.
All I see is fearmongering just fearmongering. don't do this because this will happen, I have no proof of it but why take a chance? Doesn't quite work if the one you're preaching too does not believe in the punishment to begin with. it also make your religion look less appealing.
@@saptakmukherjee3051 You will face Him soon.
@@KajiRider1997 I'm simply sharing good news. Jesus Christ paid for your sin and mine. If you believe He did this for you, you have eternal life -- no tricks, no gimmicks.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." - John 3:16-17
Fear-mongering: the action of deliberately arousing public fear or alarm about a particular issue. Yes, I'm guilty. Being separated from God in a lake of fire forever is something I would fear, but I believe Christ paid for all my sin, so I have nothing to fear. My future is eternal life, and will never be eternal death. God's grace makes salvation possible to anyone who will trust in Jesus Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. It's a free gift.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." - Ephesians 2:8-9
Your so wrong mr young ..the church is wherever people gather to worship jesus..iits not in the wind or grapes or things of this world why do you think jesus taught people to pray " thy kingdom com on earth as it is in heaven .. One day it is coming but not here yet only in our hearts ..read His word mr.young and ask for his Holy Spirit to open your eyes to understand
You cant even type properly, society has you brainwashed. You cant comprehend this mans intellegence.
Jesus is devil
I'm with Neil on this. I've never felt more spiritual than when I was on a mountain top or deep in a lush forest. Being alone is key.
I really wish these entertainers would clam up about things they know so very little about.
"Jesus didn't go to Church. I'm way back there."
Yeah Neil, you're just like Jesus - in your LSD dreamscape.
Jesus was an observant Jew, went to synagogue, and worshiped often in the Temple. He then said on multiple occasions that he would found his Church on the Apostles, and they should preach about him to the ends of the earth till the end of time.
So, where exactly are you getting your Jesus information from?
Hey, you like nature? You feel close to creation and a deep spiritual peace in the woods? That's great. That's real.
Just don't talk smack about stuff you are obviously utterly ignorant of.
Like listening to Donald Trump hold forth on how to write a great rock song.
scott downey Neil Young never took any psychedelics due to a medical condition. Not disagreeing simply stating that "insert psychedelic" dreamscape is incorrect.
Fun fact: Donald Trump is a big Neil Young fan
Sound8Vision
Oh the irony.
Jesus did not went or created no church
I agree. I do not want to bother or convert anyone and I love Neil and his music but these words are nonsens. Jesus went to the temple and prayed and the only way to meet him in presence today is though the holy eucharist. Recently I read this and Kind of went "Show me the way and I follow you today"
www.pagadiandiocese.org/2016/04/24/eucharistic-miracles-confirm-real-presence-of-jesus-christ/
I'd love to see one on Stephen Fry or Christopher Hitchens
