“You cannot drift through life; that is suicide.” This quote is honestly really good to remember everyday. Helped me a lot
Everyone drifts through life, some just experience the illusion of being in control.
Diogenes would like to have a word with you.
@@CJ-lr4uq There are so many nuances in that statement, how you wanna define “drifting”, your own perspective on life.
I’d say there’s clearly a difference between the actions a man like Andrew Tate takes that allow him to live how he does and people who don’t.
But it’s not even necessary to talk about someone hyper successful like that. Someone who decides to get in shape and hit the gym also drastically changes their course than if they didn’t go. The end result of course being greater health, most importantly. If that’s an “illusion of control” then so what? You are still having a better experience of life than you would otherwise.
@@daddytachanka8076 guys like Andrew Tate are successful only partially because of the actions they've taken, but mostly it's because luck and circumstances outside of their control have allowed it (or divine providence).
@@CJ-lr4uq Well it's completely in your prerogative to believe that but in my experience holding that belief is extremely self limiting.
What stops you from doing some push ups at any moment for example. It's a small action, yes, but in the long run it will make your life better.
Same thing applies to anything and anyone else.
What's scary is that the basic needs are slowly becoming unattainable. This puts people in a position where they're easily exploited
Modern Slavery
I'm 30 year old single man living in Ireland, I literally cannot move out of my parents house unless I move out of the country away from everyone I know. A single person cannot afford rent. Its making me feel really demoralised and unhappy. I'm becoming an isolated incel worker droid. Beep boop.
@@MrRocksW if you start to identify as an incel worker droid its already over
how are you posting retarded shit on yt if your ''basic needs'' arent being met, youre dissociating buddy
I've lived in foreign countries just to get basic needs, real food from markets, been robbed many times this year by police/federales for just doing that. been blocked from getting water from streams many times..you can't get the best of this whirled without fighting against evil inside and out. obviously most people take the easy route which is always wrong, so they reap what they sow, and they don't sow shit so they reap nothing but further slavery. place is hell not symbolically.
"Throwing javelins at pregnant women" - Gerby 2022

extra points for the bullseye
I'm a millennial and I said the very same things you are saying with all of your videos since I was 25 back in 2018, the dating scene was pointless even back then which is why I withdrawn from the dating scene. No one cares about real connections. I truly believe that social media and the whole hookup culture killed the dating scene. No one see each other as a human being anymore more like an object to use.
Short term gratification has fried everyone's brains. Genuine intimacy and love doesn't develop overnight, it's something two people have to commit to.
Sad but true. I checked out of the scene over two years ago, got off dating apps kinda just stopped trying to talk to women altogether. The juice isn’t worth the squeeze these days.
Fr and then your homies will make it like a competition of who gets the most hoes (even if their bitch is ugly af 💀) then make fun of the guy whose been fucking the same girl for months like bro wtf is wrong with that but ya it’s brutal out here
We're the same age bro! I agree but to give up on dating completely ain't good! Plenty of good girls out there it's just hard to find em.

so true about the gym being the base level now, I'm trying to convince my subs that so they start to pursue further aspects of self improvement, but there is currently a big culture of kids who think a sick physique is literally all you need for a personality and self-actualization.
Exactly. Gym bros are a dime a dozen in this era. When I started in 2020 it was something to be super proud of and I posted my physique a lot but I have abandoned that persona completely, it holds no value. It is the baseline now
@@danielb2704tbf most guys I know and see aren’t really big like that but it’s true gym maxxing may not be enough
I think everyone at this point should understand how hopeless it is. You’ll never be able to retire. You’ll never get social security, cus there’s no more kids dumb enough to bother paying into it. You’ll have to have successful market investments just to break even on your net worth. Your dollar means nothing. Your labor means nothing. If you are too pale you’ll never be first pick in the labor market. Women aren’t worth it because they can’t love you like they would Chad. Buying a house isn’t worth it because the taxes will delete you quicker than the mortgage. In order to be free, buy a Tesla Graphene powered tiny home with bug burgers, and a life sized Silicon Super Model. This is as good as it will ever be for a long time.
@@James-ig3ri You're incorrect. I'm at peace with reality. What im saying is simply so. Its not going to get better. Thats it. Im telling you not to be an idiot and make sure that your investment is in things that matter, and that you can afford through central banking and speculation bubbles and schemes. A tiny home is easily affordable and self sustaining because of future tech graphene batteries and a silicon girlfriend which only costs 2k, compared to the real things cost of 64k annually.
Besides, What are you basing your "blackpill" denialism on? Black pill is where you could start to get a grip on reality i suppose. Do you have some white pill stats? Something that indicates an increase in birthrates besides rampant demographic murder committed by western governments to pack electoral power into their states and inflate the value of labor for corporations? Do you have stats on miraculously better mental health stats for men and women? Because when i look at the obvious stats the average IQ drop is far preferable to the madness thats consuming the western world at all levels.
I am now enjoying the decline. Im content with reality and giving out free advice you can take. I have hope in a self sufficient tiny home and silicon bride. Feels good to have goals and know that things will work.
If you deny whats true you'll make yourself an enemy to all thats true. Better to be prepared for storms than have them take you unawares.
@@danielb2704 that isn't true. its more common for sure but your still going to stand out HARD at the beach or with nice fitted clothes if you have a decent physique.
Dude, I'm 34, but there are so many young kids are being driven to redpill manosphere stuff and I'm happy that someone like you can actually tell people the scoop without selling them a bunch of self help reactionary bullshit. You're a very helpful and knowledgeable young guy and I think giving hope to our youth is an invaluable thing to do. Thank you
I'm a pretty old duderino myself. And I concur, this kid's wise beyond his years.
@@DrsJacksonn nigga said duderino
"Reactionary bullshit"
Define "Bullshit".
I guess you missed his "Gen Z is doomed) Video. Hope? It's more akin to nihilism
You’re conflating the redpill with scammers and schemers. The redpill is nothing but a mind set and a way of thinking. It’s not trying to sell you courses or merch. You should really learn the difference.
Thank you for giving a voice to the existential angst that so many of us feel today.
Well articulated comment.
I love you brother stay in it
This sounds like such a r/im14andthisisdeep comment but I kinda get it lol
That's what Gerby does better than anyone.
I think once you immerse yourself in the self improvement space it’s easy to assume that so many other people are taking that path, but it’s more complicated than that. Where most people fall flat is consistency. Sure the whole Tate and Hamza deal has a lot of new people in the space trying to “level up”, but how many of them are actually going to keep up with these habits for the long term, 5-10 years? And self improvement goes far beyond just building an aesthetic physique. What a lot of these men going incredibly hard into self improvement might not be getting is how sustainable some of these habits are, and I wouldn’t be surprised if I see another phase of extreme burnout coming within the next couple of years - but outside of that, the more people who pursue self improvement, the better. A rising tide raises all ships. If suddenly every average guy is improving themselves, then the normalization of discipline and self improvement will contribute to the rebuilding of community and deep societal connection. The obstacle to this of course is the ego of those people focusing solely on looksmaxing or gaining status. Self improvement should never be about getting ahead of everybody else. It should be about building a brighter world FOR everybody else, so it makes the process of self improvement easier for everyone. Life is not a zero sum game. What these social media platforms and popular media and elites try to tell you is that you need to screw over other people to get ahead, which is exactly how they stay in power. And the sooner we all adopt the abundance mindset and realize that there is enough for everyone and embrace this cosmopolitan ideal, the sooner we overcome this crisis of isolation and potentially prevent even greater crises in the future.
The elites have already been playing the self improvement game for longer than any of us tho dont you think?
GOATed comment
@@urbanumbra6170 good answer
@@JeremyGee99 i wasn’t expecting people to agree especially when i didnt provide any reasoning.
But just look at andrew tate, what separates him from bill gates, elon, zuckerberg, or bezos (other than the fact they probably work with alphabet agencies)?
Theyre just people who want to live luxurious lives and look at the cost of luxury.
The self improvement trend is a bit hypocritical at times because theyll diss on the rich while actively trying to become like them.
Im not completely wrong for thinking abt it like this am I?
*slow clap*
These videos are basically what many of us (cause it definitely ain't just me) sound like when we talk to ourselves inside our cars after a long day at work, where no one else can hear it. If we all had someone in our lives to speak with in this manner, the world would be a better place.
I'm in my car right now and just finished venting to my windshield. This comment couldn't have been better timed. 👏
On Goober I was going insane because I thought I was the only person that did this.
You’re definitely not alone. My car has become my best friend/therapist/confidant. I have a long drive to and from work and in a way I look forward to my commute every morning and afternoon as that’s when I vent off or work through shit that’s been on my mind.
Ill go on for like a hour then think I must be insane or something lmao. I believe its just our brain trying to exhaust itself of the thoughts constantly building up within our head that we would like to share with others. Unfortunately, seldom times are people willing to conversate about such topics with, insisting on vanilla, plain talk, that doesn't require much thought.
Yeah the people around me act like I'm crazy when I say stuff like this.
A great friend of mine, one of the few people who had a similar mindset to me as a teenager when it came to the direction of the western world, decided to cope during government-forced lockdowns with benzodiazepines and that's how he met his despise. Gerby brought up a stellar point when he talked about people using cope to basically off themselves. Even if you don't actually die like my friend from making poor decisions like p0rn or other 'drugs', you are essentially offing yourself since you have no goals or direction. Don't be this type of person, stay in control of your choices and become something special even if you feel alone doing it!
@midasg1 excellent point. I want to add, Hollywood and the music industry started fetishized drug addiction, depression as a cool identity and the whole being damaged so damage others, leading up the the social media era. Its just grown exponentially because of this era. But trying to be the change we want to see is going to mean something.
I think you mean "met his demise"
@midasg1 I’m pretty sure TikTok is China’s attempt to get back at the West (more specifically, its anglosphere) for the centuries of drug laden Chinese men during the Opium wars that the British plied drugs to. And it wouldn’t surprise me if most of the fentanyl and benzodiazepines sold in the West were also manufactured in China.
jesus this is exactly what me and my buddies did during the lockdowns we were only 17 in our junior year and boom the next year a half was online. We were taking Xanax as a 'time machine' to make the days go faster. It led to a lot of problems and even a suicide in the group. However, we jumped substances constantly benzos in general were cheaper and easier to get a hold of as opposed to real oxy or codeine. We did tons of molly too and we would mix the shit out of these drugs. Was hospitalized twice during the 2-year stunt. 6 months clean and I still think about xanax everyday because I simply forgot how to cope and my entire personality was about drugs. I couldn't talk about anything else but drugs... even with my parents I was so hooked on the culture. When I started working full time in a warehouse I was basically living in the matrix I was making all this money but I couldn't remember my days at all. benzos are so fuckd up man I feel like I'll never be able to feel 'good' experiences like that ever again without it. benzos will take everything good from you and make you suicidal
Despise 💀
1. Good at it
2. Enjoy it
3. Make money
4. Making a difference
Competition is literally at all time high. I think social media is the main reason. Every guy and girl 24/7 is able to see like the perfect people who have great money, mind, and body. So now every girl especially says “if it’s not this it’s nothing.”
It’s overrrrr
Competition is not at an “all time high”. If anything, sloth is at all time high. Most people look at social media and the people as unobtainable. Effort is in short demand these days. It’s simply too easy to be a bugman worker bee and coast in life.
Bro, you couldn't have gotten that anymore wrong. Competition, especially in-between men is at an all-time low historically, men who are on top of their shit right now in life have are actually in some of the most powerful positions & there is absolutely nothing stopping you from achieving that greatness except your own mindset and perspective which is malleable. Theirs's a reason why people who succeed marry 10's & are well respected by everyone, and it's definitely not because their feet's where considered common-place.
@@thefox7427 it’s an all time high since the 2010s
@@side3672it’s because they where born into right place right time right circumstance got lucky or sold their soul
If you raise the bar on anything and everyone strives to meet it then that just becomes the new average. I think that's kind of true but I would also use the analogy that getting to the top is a lot like getting on a lifeboat while the Titanic is sinking. Anyone can get on the boat but most people won't.
Exactly, the top will never become the new average because 99% of men won’t make it there
@@blbeats7845 That's not true, if those 99% of people get there, the bar just rises.
@@antonilesniewski5964 Yeah but that’s the whole point. 99% of people won’t make it there. So it will never be the new standard
I think that "being average" in boomer terms means you are now below average. Having a job, being independant, etc is now below average (for men).
If you raise the bar for yourself and everyone else and this "new average" ever happens, which is tough because it requieres hard work and many people will not meet it, it's okey, The Alpha generation will have to re-define average then and put the work, but that's their problem.
we keep raising the bar meanwhile women sit around and get worse and thats what we're fighting for
The issue with every man striving to be in the top 20% is that there has to be a bottom 80% for the top 20% to even exist. Someone has to fall into that bucket. No matter how much effort you put in you still may never get to the top 20, and the problem then becomes that being in that bottom 80% is essentially equated to being a failure for men. No woman wants to 'settle' for being with a guy that's just average even though its just not realistic for all of them to end up with top 20% men.
So we both suffer then. Men and women.
@@JukemDrawles87no just men women can always get something
@@thedarkestknight8381 not when they're old. What they ultimately and intrinsically want they can't get anymore
Well there will be a plateau, a level that everyone stuck at. If there equality in a system, then any given equity and genetics will succeed.
@@JukemDrawles87 Do you mean when women reach 'The Wall'?
How can one man be so based. Incredible.
If everyone self improves, women (and certain jobs) will just pick men purely on non negotiable genetic factors (like height). This is happening in real time right now.
Was wondering if someone would say that. Either way it trickles back to that when you think about it
It’s because as mammals we haven’t evolved past our primal needs yet. Give it a couple thousand years I’m sure we’ll transcend our current mating qualifications.
@@ladybug3380 dayum 😂 thousands
@@ladybug3380never overcoming that. Nature requires the ideal and best people to mate in other to push the human race. In the future there will be taller men and what we consider tall now will be short. Without religion as a mediator for hypergamy females choices become one sided. As we see signs of now.
Most self improvement BS is people who just going to the gym and call it productive. ( That's me because I do nothing productive besides gym ), so I think it would not be as bad as you say
I've always told my friends, take advantage of your advantages you have. Use your looks, height, abilities , talents, connections, family, ect, to get ahead of others. Throw all that equality bullshit out the window because you will get pushed down further and further the more you try and equalize with others.
yep. Exactly why I'm gonna take advantage of living with my parents till I hit like 28 or so.

@@beedonalds3462 Does it stem from the medical field?
I've considered it, and it would be a very rewarding life. But I'm going to follow the Tate brothers advice and gtfo of the west. Not every society on Earth is degrading, there are still places that are thriving and on the incline.
I think we underestimate how many people don't watch the sort of motivational/self improvement content that has become so commonplace on these platforms. That 15% number does not surprise me nor does the lack of self awareness in Gen Z. It seems to me that more people than you would expect just want to have fun and slide along. There will likely always be a market for it, but some will see this as unfulfilling and soul crushing, and they will stop using platforms like tiktok and youtube for anything more than just marketing. If I was a betting man, I would bet that there are so many young kids that have been poked by the manosphere that those platforms 5 years from now will be filled with almost exclusively self promotion and preexisting companies will struggle to find anyone to work. With everyone chasing big dollars, and starting their own companies, many will loose and crash. I wish only best of luck to you all ladies and gentlemen.
Like myself that is 20, I chose a career in cybersecurity that is remote, and I will make 6 figures+ very soon. I might start my own company, but the reason I chose this career is that it is very flexible and the demand for jobs is crazy. Starting your own business is great but I don't see myself yet doing one. I like that my field is pretty cushy and is flexible on hobbies that I like such as jiu jitsu, shooting guns, fishing, and lifting weights.

Yep, what is happening is people stopped believing in God. First, you start believing in God, then you can pursue whatever dreams you want to pursue. You need to have a foundation first. I bet the people who found God the earliest in life, will probably do alright. Otherwise, you just have to have mad talent AND be a strong person (that usually means having a good upbringing first, plus genetics). But who has those two attributes? A minority of people. Get with God people, get with God... Life just has too many cheap/unfulfilling temptations that will otherwise get you, and you cannot half-a.. stuff; just too much competition out there. Get rid of bad habits, ALL bad habits

gerby is the most “literally me” character ever
I literally remember 2019 I’m playing league of legends all day and eating fuck ton of junk food. I was built like I get shoved in lockers for a living. Yet I was still talking to girls having them call me their soul mate and everything
Fast forward 3 years I’ve been working out I got the abs put on a bunch of muscle changed up my hairstyle. I get glances from basically every girl and I can get a number whenever but nothing past that. Every time (7) I’m getting vaguely ghosted after we flirted irl just days before. I swear it’s just a different game now. Like you queue up in this self improvement lifestyle shit and everything is harder. My friends who just spend all day lounging smoking have girlfriends and I’m like that’s the craziest shit ever. Maybe I became too picky and need to lower standards idk but my lord it’s like no matter how much I improve the goal posts keep moving away.
Doubt I’d ever stop going to the gym, reading, etc tho. I am thankful because at least I have something to keep aiming for.
the reason for this is that you became a mega autist running around fitting every girl you see into an arbitrary numerical scale ffs
Dude, I think about this all the time- I have tons of stories/insight. All my friends are doctors and engineers, some are ivy leaguers, all are single. All the bums I see regularly get a rotation of girls.
One guy I used to live with was the son of my landlord. Likable guy, but a total screw ball. Short, hispanic, tats everywhere, worked at a moving company as a grunt in his late twenties and lived out of his parents' garage.
Has a long term girlfriend who saved his life. Dude took a xan that was laced and stopped breathing. His girlfriend, a training nurse, saved his life. LOL. He would have been dead as a door nail if one single factor was different. This girl wants kids with him, even. Unreal, man.

You make good points. They tell you you just need to put in effort, go to the gym, take care of yourself...but the truth is it's rarely enough. Yeah you will better yourself and that's great but it won't get you girls. They don't care. There's always guys who look better, have more money, jumped on gear to be more ripped...and even average girls get so much attention from simps that they think they're special and deserve a top 0.1% man. It's a fucked up situation and idk what can be done about it.
Bruv, i seen average looking, dumb, short and broke dudes pick up girls. Multiple. Even be in relationships, not just one time hooks ups.
It's an effort/numbers game at the end of the day. Too many guys think they can circumvent that with self-improvement. You can self-improve until the cows come home, if you don't put yourself out there on as many social grids as you can and approach women with intent, it doesn't matter.
No.1 rule is women don't have agency. Even if they are interestedz they will just stand there giggling and making dumb faces at best. At worse they will pretend to ignore you as a game to see if they can make you break character and chase harder.
Not saying self-improvement has no effect in dating. It definitely raises your level, but it's like getting fcking shiny armor in a RPG game. It makes your defense better, looks better, but you still have to go into the dungeon and fight the goblins to get anywhere in the game.
Just having that armor does nothing for your progress. The ugly, short, broke dudes just storm the dungeon with no equipment bare ass naked and still get to the end because they tried multiple times and respawned and develop the skill to navigate without getting hit (aka approach and game in the dating market).
So yeah, playing the game is what you need to do. Not just grinding your equipment and then expecting things will happen by themselves.
@@advancedapathy1531 first of all those guys you're talking about are exceptions to the rule.

9:30 exactly how you have to be. The day you stop trying is the day you start dying.
Well said
There are things that aren't worth trying anymore, and it's better to reorient yourself to try something new.
This guy is going places.
“Unhinged or mentally unwell” - Gerbizzle YOU are well beyond your years brother. Stay strong, we love you, we value you, we respect you. Thank you for being a source of hope :)
this is slowly becoming my favorite channel. Every sentence rings with clarity.
Dude please keep making videos. Your content is great, super relatable. You're leading a sense of "community" for so many people even if we don't literally know you.
Gerbert when you started to speak about being grateful for life, that's when I realized how wise you truly are. I'm looked at as wise and I'm 24 years old. I only just started being grateful at 23 years old and life has been good to me since this mental shift. Dont stop
Trust me, once you reach age 27+ you'll realize
Almost nobody is trying anymore.
Also, the overweight rate in the US has reached 70%.
cant cry even if i want to cry, im finished
Bro you're actually getting really fucking good at these raps bro. Being deadass. Something I'd unironically listen to.
Being hungover and not really in the best mood, I needed this, thank you
Superbad is also one of my favourites and I relate to your experience with feeling like that fun time in high school with my friends was taken from me, 2 years basically wasted at home. I am still in high school, so I still have fun with my friends, but still, 2 whole years is a lot. I am now nearing the end of high school so next year I am gonna try and spend as much time hanging with my friends and making new friends. I am scared of life after high school and possibly losing them, being busy with work and what not. That scene where jonah hill and michael cera just decide to have a sleepover and realise it'll probably be their last before college, really resonated with me. The wholesome ending where they get the girls and go their separate ways did indeed make me tear up a bit. I now have a new motivation to go to school, not because I want to learn, but because I want to hang out with my friends for 6 hours a day, and maybe even hang out after school, when is the next time I get to do that? I doubt ever again.
AYYYY!!! ngl , who else noticed the improvement in his bars?? His beat selection, allat. THIS NIGGA MAKING CHORUSES NOW!!!
Always fuckd with tha freestyles keep em coming
As a Hamza and 1stMan viewer it's really cool to see your take on these ideas mixed in with your humor
Gerby is truly one of the people
Damn i feel you Gerb, competition is at an all time high right now
😊
IM HERE DADDY GERRRRRRR
Gerby im 28 but i still listen and try to actualize the advice you give. I find your videos to be a perfect blend of both the black pill and white pill
you young lad have gotten ur self a new subscriber, looking forward to many more of your video's,and I will take stock of your past work. you seem like you have insight, and I've found this video literally at the right time and place. appreciate you and merry Xmas duude.
Gerbert, you have no idea how much the middle section of this video helped me gain perspective. Like no other video before. I'm no longer really on the whole train of self-improvement videos because i'm at the part where i realize "more of them" won't help, and all i can and should do is to take action, but you just have extremely interesting perspectives on these concepts such as the dating market.
Your channels have so much value.
Anyways,
Somewhere in the middle you said: just go Gung-ho, all out for it. Either I accomplish these goals or I die trying.
And there are some "basic ass" goals I have, that aren't so basic anymore nowadays. Like having a girlfriend, make her your wife and starting a family. Like...dude...the barriers in the way of that alone: porn already presents a barrier. Like the battle for that goal already starts in your own bedroom these days man it's ridiculuos
Fr, when people are like ‘attractive people are rare’ and then I go to campus and I’m perplexed, gym is always packed. You’re right there is nothing to lose
Crying honestly feels so good i miss when I used to be able to cry
@@glutenfree8348 It's cuz ur so numb to everything brah.
another banger from my boy gerby
What you said about the gym is so true. Excellent vídeo as always
Gerbs, I see you got the min-max brain curse too.
Naturally comes with a side of depression being able to easily spot future trends while being born into an empire in decline. Hyper competition ramps up as the real economy needs less and less input from labor. Meanwhile the labor pool is ever expanding lacking feedback loops to slow due to the "money out of thin air" effect.
Always gotta refine the copes or it's lights out
new gerb dropped lets go
You are looking in the right direction, gerbert. You are straying away from *needing* validation in the form of friends and women (which is making you a better person to be around, an individual, but still cognizant of the fact that you would like to have connection). You are finally sounding hopeful, as if everything will turn out okay, whatever the outcome may be.
You read Kierkegaard bro?
@@ACrownofFlowers nah, read a lot of Nietzsche though. And even though I haven’t read Kierkegaard myself, I think he has some good thoughts from what I have read.
@@sebastianfors4491 ahhh makes sense.
absolutely love this content. Please do more about topics, coming to your mind and philosophing about it.
Probably slightly prepared, though unedited. Like a Podcast, maybe even better.
My man Johnson stay snapping!!!!
At this point my life and death scale are completely inverse. Life just seems like misery while death is a release from it all. What is there after you become successful? Live a life of debauchery? Seek some higher enlightenment? It feels like I am subconsciously hindering my progress because I'm scared of what happens when you have nothing left to work for. Just some of my current thoughts as of my current state of mind. Who knows, I might completely change along the way. We will see I guess.
an amazing comment, you have nailed exactly how i feel, what is the point of it all?
I think this move to a more digital world has seriously disconnected us from friends and family. We don’t even know who lives next to us anymore, everybody just stays inside. I think spending time with community really is central to our happiness as humans. In my case at least, I don’t see the point in ending it when I still have my family to help and strong and successful kids to raise.
Family and community is the answer. Your goal should be to build yourself into a man that can create and take care of a family
I love doing chores and listening to these, your perspectives and unique way of expressing them is awesome. I am 24 and graduated Harvard last year (please I'm not trying to brag), and you speak and think much more eloquently than a lot of people I've met there.
He is maybe more eloquent because he's really thinking about subjects, I don't know that well how are the most students at Harvard but some of them are of course doing like Gerbert said "alcohol, video games, etc..."
@@melvilprieur6927 very true, lots of people are very swept up in that stuff, one of my roommates would stay in his room all day watching k dramas
I'm blown away he's only 19/20. He must be a genius.
………..But you are though 😂😂😂🤷🏽♂️if you weren’t tryna brag then why even add that to your comment 😭😭😭
@@Someone_Unknown90because its a high profile school, which develops his statement that gerbert speaks in a much more eloquent way than students at harvard, who you would typically expect to be of a higher calibre considering the barriers to entry
Bruh you talk to me like I talk to myself in my head.
Thank you for this content bruv.
Just what I needed to hear gerbs
“Gerbiechov” had me in absolute stitches 🤣🤣🤣
Inspirational stuff gerbs, happy holidays
The beat was unironically fire 🔥
Thank you for the insightful video.
Say bro you're funny as hell you're a young wise man check this out I'm a old black man and I dig your style brother keep up the good work I enjoy your videos peace and hair grease
You’re spot on with this. And here’s the thing. Even if you’re one of the few guys who manages to get attention from women and get yourself a nice looking girl, it never lasts these days. I know from experience.
im glad your videos are getting recommended to me again
Post more man, love from Poland g
I really love your thought process, Gerb. I think that Society is too focused on achievements. You can enjoy life and be content with what you have. I understand that the global situation is not so great (housing market is a total scam, dating scene is a joke etc.). Sometimes you can look at the rat race and think to yourself - is this what life is all about? You look around and see the crowd cheering/booing, you notice fellow runners and shit. Life in a moment. You can admire what is already here and make life unique and fun for yourself. Be creative and explore.
Of course - with a boring ass, low pay job - less is available. But - with all of the commotion - where is the time to just - be? Family, status, dates - all is great. Those however, bring lots and lots of stress and responsibility. It's not all black and white.
Just my view. I admire your special voice on CZcams. Lots of love to you and all the wonderful people watching!
Babe wake up, the Gerbster just dropped a new vid! (Babe is my cat)
Spot on gerby
Bars going hard these last couple vids gerby
that's verry true gerby. seems like lifting is the new baseline of just getting slightly out of being a average. it's a baseline 😢.
You got a voice of a generation.
Your freestyles are constantly improving
Gerbert, you the man!
I want to start working out, I just give myself every excuse not to. I'm worried about my health and want to change but the effort required would just leave me drained after working all day and taking care of my son. The way you mentioned is something I've looked into for a few years, I just haven't found my ikkigai, or ideal that I would truly sacrifice for. I think it's these few things but I have so little confidence because I live in fear that I will never accomplish them. Everything tells me to just get started, do it and keep doing it. But the resistance has won over me for the time.
Yeah I get that. I struggle with motivation my whole life. even now I think even if I do all this stuff my life still gonna suck. It’s like when your in depression and you realize that even if I get over this my life still shit. I guess you just gotta keep going. I just think to myself what else can I do but keep going. If all else fails rope at 25
It’s not motivation that will keep you in a good habit, it’s discipline. In my opinion, discipline is a skill, just like cooking, brushing your teeth, etc. It takes time to develop. If you need to develop the skill of discipline to go to the gym, I recommend starting at a really low training amount. Literally just go for half an hour for 1 day in the week. That’s infinitely better than what you have been doing which is 0 days. Then just slowly work your way up to 2,3,4 days a week, until it becomes a habit to go. Motivation never works for keeping you in a good habit, it’s the skill of discipline I have found that actually works.
You could’ve done at least 20 push ups in the time you spent writing that
yo the freestyles at the beginning be my favorite
Keep em coming Gerb
Thanks for the insight bro, one love from the islands.🇯🇲
You're the greatest self improvement philosopher of our time era
Love these vids. Feels like I’m talking to a homie
Gerbert is so ❤️🔥
Thank you, Gerby for talking about this, for a second there I was thinking I was going insane.
Jchilling and cope with some hope
I am thankful to God every day for my misfortunes. The goofy situations I've been through and my bad experiences have forced me to learn at a rather early age. Within every mistake is a lesson, and sometimes it takes years to realize the lesson.
Good shit Gerby. This makes things very clear. Kind of had this realization earlier today. You're a real help.
“Don’t want to die at 20 and wait til 80 for burial.” Can’t remember the song rn, but that line goes hard asf in my opinion
When you started describing that slide, the slippery slide, and escalating things with coping.
Man. It's a difficult spiral.
you grew man i remember you having something like 400 views on your first video. respect spittin' facts as always! 🥵
crying on my birthday alone rn ,my mom didnt even say happy bday or anything it hurts smh

brutal
Happy birthday! I’ve got a drunk of a mother been where you are and I’m sorry.
