This is the best channel about midlife crisis on KZhead.
Hhhh it suppose to be a Tech channel
@@Matthias_Fischer its satire and he cant see/find his son -> midlide crisis
(as a millionaire)
He is longing for true love which he will never find
@@Matthias_Fischer You think that people that have been professionally succesful and earn a lot of money, don't go through a midlife crisis? He's divorced and alone, if not wrong, and that hurts a lot...
I can definitely relate to this. Not the millionaire part, just feeling lost.
Get some hobbies, meet people, help people, learn new skills. Try something different.
@@crimpers5543 The problem is competitive and self aware people usually do so much self improvement we feel as if we are on our own plane of existence. Learning a new skill and meeting new people does deff help.
As my father would have said to me… get a compass!
every being in the universe is lost whether they know it or not
Read and absorb The Myth Of Sysiphus by Albert Camus.
The takeaway from every single TechLead video is to go outside and *share* your time with other people.
(as a millionaire)
Woahhh, who ever could’ve guessed that money won’t make you happy? The only thing that brings me happiness is human interaction, more specifically my relationships with my family, girlfriend, and friends.
@@happyrobot6396 I knew the Internet was just full of bots talking to each other pretending to be human. Nice try!
share your time with other people ... as a millionaire, of course
I think the main problem is despite everything looks perfect, people in countries like Japan enjoy loneliness and this is not for everybody... if you travel to Latin America to a country like Colombia for example, you will have different feelings because despite it doesn't look perfect, people, in general, are far more warming and friendly because they hate loneliness.
I do agree, people are very warm in Latin America.
I don't think they enjoy loneliness, as it turns out Japan has the highest suicide rate in the world
@@faker530 maybe you are right but i don't understand why they not try to be more open and change things
Japan is an ultra conservative and repressed society. Which is why that repression is often expressed through other outlet's.. Anime and Manga are particular good examples.. "Think" Hentai or brutally graphic violent stories like "Beserk" Media is a way for the Japanese to express thier sexuality and inner conflicts/turmoil that simply cannot be expressed through contemporary society. Japan is a beautiful and fascinating country, but I think if you're suffering lonliness it probably wouldn't be first on my travel destination.
That is the true inherent fear of AI isnt it, that it will be a variable cure for loneliness with no side effects of co-dependency
I like this guy being open with his feeling and thought, life definitely getting weird and hard sometimes
Women being able to legally kidnap their kids back to Japan (if they are citizens I guess) is pretty messed up. Friend of ours cheated on the wife once, she found out and kept the kids in Japan and never returned to Australia, they made up to the point where he could visit the kids growing up, but that was about it.
I think he is just fkiing with us. He is doing well with his channel and make boatload of money.
Just plan on this happening to you if you live long enough and achieve your goals.
@@ninersnation3298 Hes literally just trying to relate to poor people so he can upsell them money making advice, look at his more recent videos after this one... Guy is doing some scammy marketting tactics
@@VenturiLifefor Japan it is both men and women that can take the kids back to Japan. You hear more cases of Japanese women bc often it is Japanese women that date and marry foreigners
Your WISDOM is precious, so many love you and your journey to truth in life! I think you are happiest in Japan, I have lived there, it has a special charm. Happy trails! Blessings to Tech Lead!
Hey, I feel for you man. Know that you're not alone... your community is spread around the world! :)
The lonely and egotistical guys community
The most important thing that should be on everyone’s mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks, Gold, silver and digital currencies. I want to thank you Jim Alan Yockey For being my source of crypto education, As I am comfortably making 4 Bitcoin weekly using his method
He is very active on telegram.s.

Love your work TechLead ... keep doing it !
I work as a mental health nurse for 10 years, I'm no expert. But I feel those who are lost are those who doesn't know how they can best serve others or the world yet. Just my thought. Also really appreciate the honesty and openness you have. You're a great man.
Agreed
Your ending message really hit me in the feels. I wish I had slowed down to live properly in the last few years, because now I can't get that time back with the preciouss people I had around me.
After the Etherem ecosystem, VELR90 is the best ecosystem available on the market and most people don't understand this yet, I believe due to lack of marketing. Thank you so much for bringing us this kind of content!
Excellent narration , I can feel the video! Dream life for many of us. Very few can stay content with themselves!
Wow. Your comments about your nature-loving side gave me goosebumps. Look at you! Seeing so many positives and self-discovery as well. Loved this!
When I started the crypto process in 2017, there were few youtubers I trusted and you were one of them. This video confirms my impressions. As for me, I continue to DCA VELR90 .
LOVE this! Thanks for sharing Techlead! Looks a lot of fun! Yay!!!
I did this kind of solo travelling in mainland China for 4 or more years around 2013-2018 since I was a graduating PhD student who studied in Shanghai at a much lower cost and more ambitious emotions as well as carrying a controversial debt myself， life is not easy, to some extent of tormented. In between I did fly across the Taiwan Strait to see the people and scenes there. Imagine how brave and difficult it can be. Solo means no gfs, no partners, only parents in the call, luckily enough I finish the great adventures independently, becoming more connected and affected by the world, countryside and dreams.
I've been transient for decades. Reach out, Tribe! Lonely af out here
China is a really safe place. Not sure why you feel you got lucky.
@@dznuts123 The cost is growing higher, I did a pretty safe journey across all ways of the country, but rich people don't have the physical ability or desire or energy to compete.
It’s always really fun seeing your travel vlogs!
Been part of TechLead fam since you started KZhead and honestly you inspired me in many ways (plus starting my own channel). No matter what you are going through, I am very sure you are on the right way and I am so so proud of seeing you making the best out of your life always. Enjoyed this video a lot - felt like we had a glimpse into your heart ☺️♥️
Very kind of you to say that.
I love how tender and heartfelt your messages are they really get to me -thank you
Excellent content. I used the last dip to stock up, buying AZ66TX$ now its cheap, can't miss the presale.
your videos have really progressed to a very positive point over these last few months. I am in Vegas also, and I happen to be Japanese.
Thank you TechLead, finally a video where you show your true self and none of the persona chats with the bloody thumbnails. Inspirational stuff. You changed the mental image I had of capsule hotels, looks like a great place to stay now.
Love your thought provoking videos. The world we live in has become too materialistic. What really matters are the experiences that wows you and brings meaning to your life.
So true.
I've recently been feeling the same. I think the best thing to do is just follow where your gut and/or interests take you. Trying new hobbies and places but also maybe the biggest thing is to help people. I heard a lot of smart people have this issue and it turns into depression quite quickly but helping people who are not furtunate or teaching people seems to be a great way to heal yourself at the same time.
great comment tf! helping, serving, giving and thinking of others soothes the soul!
I appreciate that tLIT24f has a strong community that is dedicated to promoting and using the cryptocurrency. It's great to see people coming together for a common cause.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful footage! You shouldn't care about competition, even if there is a similar content out in social media. It's something unique to see another persons view at the surroundings - Mindfulness is key to every new moment, so empty your cup to flow the new impressions in.
You have no idea how many people would kill to be in your position. You’re a smart man so you know it’s all just a matter of perspective. It is always possible to be happy no matter which circumstances you find it yourself in, and that’s because there is always something to be thankful for and happy about, even if it’s being happy that you’re healthy or have lots of money. Whatever is getting you down, just know that you have lots to live for. Your own mind holds the key to how much you’re going to enjoy your life.
Being connected to others is the best feeling for me. Conversations, laughing together, and doing fun activities together, is the peak of life. Humans are built to be together.
As someone who's lived in 3 countries and travelled to many more, I fell deeply in love with Japan. It is true that it might seem lonely at times (everybody works tons of hours and minds their own business), but I wish I could live there. People may be less outgoing/open than in latin countries for example, but they're super respectful and will definitely try to help you if you need something, even if they don't speak your language. Also, extremely safe, clean, and that blend between modern and old...just amazing. It might not be for everyone, but it sure is for me!
I completely agree. I have lived in Sweden, Denmark and Thailand, not to mention traveling to many different countries for the past 30 years. Travel is my life. I am a social person, and it is harder to make friends in Japan. But everything you said is true. The safest country in the world. Let's just think about that. You never have to worry that someone is going to rob you, or assault you. Everything is very organized, and they spend a huge amount on infrastructure. People will help you, if they see you need something. They value nature, being lawful, respect history and tradition. In Thailand, where I have lived for a long while, it is super easy to meet people, never cold, not as organized or planned out as Japan. I just don't want to live in a country that has cold winters. Lol. Even thought I did live in the Nordic countries when I was much younger. I see so many guys in unhappy marriages in the West, just trying to get by, heavily in debt, because of their wife, family, college costs for their kids, a mortgage, cars and many other things, that I can do without. It works for me, probably not a lot of other people. But Japan is an amazing place, to be sure.
thank you for the inspiring videos ! Please keep up the great work.
Great video! I really enjoy your more philosophical / life videos... As someone that's been a "digital nomad" for some time, I'm feeling many of the same things as you... if you take kids, and the need to make money out of your life, it really does leave a giant sense of purpose hole remaining...
i will mention that ive been traveling for the last 6 months; of which 2 months were in japan. and ive been having exact same thoughts and feelings. something about japan; despite it being incredibly beautiful and serene and orderly and clean; makes it a lot more lonely. despite being able to speak the language, ive never felt lonelier traveling in japan than any other country ive visited in asia over the past 6 months.
Plus his Japanese wife stole his child. I think that is the real root of his sadness.
i had a great time interacting with locals, granted i was getting wasted at dive bars in the seedier parts of town. however, it was a lot of fun, and made many friends. i don't know how long that sort of lifestyle could last however.
Now I have to go to Japan, Osaka and Kyoto. Been meaning to do it a long time, but now I have to do it definetly. Awesome video. Thanks. You my fav KZheadr by far.
Hey man, as a photographer who lives in Osaka, I’ve also lost a lot of my passion for photography for the same reasons. Something that helped is picking up a new hobby: fishing. Japan has a great fishing culture, and it’s a hobby you can start immediately if you have the time. It would be such a missed opportunity if you decided to pick it up after traveling somewhere else. I recommend going to one of the many local fishing shops, ask the staff to set you up with a light starter kit, and then take the train out to the bay. Once you get hooked, you’ll be amazed at how many new places in Japan you’ll discover just trying to find a good fishing spot. Wish you all the best on your trip!
@John Titor You been in touch with Okarin lately?
Mad respect for your work! I generally like your videos but this one in particular is just AMAZING. I don't think any other youtuber speaks so much from the heart and with such honesty while being funny as well. Congrats, keep up the good work and continue to enjoy life - as a millionaire! 👏💪
... as a millionaire
What a refreshing video! Reconsider the part where, why you should photograph stuff by looking back to this video. The feeling of nostalgia is what captured me throughout your story.
Perfect comment. This video touched my heart and im a perfect stranger
For the most time of this year if you would invest into anything it is not doing very well I mean that's pretty obvious. But the launch of AZ66TX$ plays a different game and it is less affected by such moves as the utility is simply too strong. Just my bet
I hear you. I relate so much to your current feelings and way to see life. I like your Tech videos, but these are way more inspiring in a way. You know, when you see yourself reflected into someone and how is that someone dealing with all. Thanks for sharing! ;)
Wow that was a great video. Usually I watch you expecting more opportunistic trolling but this was a great personal introspection. I hope you find your way.
"Just be stupid, be simple" this is very resonant, I kinda can't do this I overthink almost everything
Sending you best wishes. Thank you for being open.
Nice video - look forward to the next one!
Very enlightening insights into just … living. This video really sparked something in my mind. I too am a solo tech/wfh person trying to figure out this “living” thing. I sometime have the same thought when I’m out and about, what do I have to come home to? My expensive condo has essentially become the place I go to work … kind of weird. Not complaining, I’m very fortunate to have what I have, it just causes you to change the way you think about living.
I do appreciate this video and you did capture some beautiful scenes. Never been to Japan so it's cool to see it through your eyes. Seems like you're enjoying being a nomad to some degree so would be good if you could find a comfortable way to do it.
This is your best video yet. An important aspect of being happy is acceptance that life is simply appreciating and enjoying the moment, and ones good luck to have the health and finances necessary to do so.
This video blew me away. Good job techlead!
This was excellent. You're a cool guy & I hope to be like you when I grow up.
Overthinking is a trait of yours. one that sets you apart. Don't try to get rid of it. So many of us are able to relate with you and like you cause of that only.
The footage is epic, deep talk, techlead is great at filming travelling vlog :）
wow love this type of travel vlog vid :D This might be your best video so far.
You feel lost bcoz you have no close friends and are not working towards anything in life. No friends+no purpose=unsatisfying,lonely,empty life.
No close friends or family.
Yes my thoughts too. He has money and can live anywhere he wants but being middle aged and single just wondering the streets gets old and lonely fast, especially in a society that’s not outgoing like japan. Japanese are some of the most polite and kind, but they don’t tend to talk to random strangers. Even people born in japan has a life long sense of being an outsider. Being young with your whole life ahead is the time to explore new places… it’s just sad and creepy doing that the older you get.
Yup, it’s clear he has absolutely zero social circle and friends and family to hang out with and do fun stuff with. What a sad life.
Damn you guy aren’t sugar coating nothin
happy wife = happy life
Nice video. I've read all of Murakami's books, watched many Rambalac youtube videos and dabbled in learning Japanese. Now I need to spend about 2 months there to really enjoy it.
Your real take on life is refreshing and honest. Family, laughter and joy with loved ones is the real pleasure. Life is short, don't throw it away on wasting time.
That’s some pro footage Patrick. Enjoyed the vid!
Good video. I feel the same, well without the money part. Much love, and remember everything can change in a second even if it mostly doesn’t
We must change it, bc change is reality
It’s hard when you struggle with your identity and purpose. I can relate.
Things are pretty hard on millionaires these days
@@user-sj3fp2xq2m Money doesn't change the fact of your genes or biotic human being identity
@@yuansizhu6271 dude it does. Trust me when you have a multimillion house the housework is endless even with the help of maids and gardeners 😂. Whatever techlead is experiencing, i had the same 10 years ago. One just needs a hot chick in life and your day will brighten up. Again, trust me. Done that, been there.
@@sittingduck02 hmm
I love these travel videos. Thank you!
It's been a while since I've seen something as interesting as this, thanks for that
I saw you in Kyoto but was too shy to approach you because I'm not a millionaire.
Dude go up and say hello.
You could be a millionaire in Japanese yen. lol
It's call drifting and there's a place for it--for a while. I took a sabbatical in Japan also for a year over a decade ago, getting away from the U.S.A. It changed my whole outlook on life. Keep on with your innerwork to find your purpose hereon. No need to compete with others, certainly not in photography. Take it only for your pleasure. If not, then let go. There are many helpful books. Laotzu's Dao De Qing for example. Japan is so beautiful. Cheers.
You bring for me so much value ❤please keep going the best way you can ❤
I've been a fan of Amazon for years and the fact that they're supporting tLIT24f only adds to their credibility. This is definitely a coin worth watching.
the bots are strong here
Are you mad?
thank you again for letting us into your life. I kinda agree with you on the camera stuff. Get rid of the bulky gear and start focusing on smaller cameras and keep following smartphone photography developments. 1” sensors are now becoming a big deal in smartphones.
*This AI has precognition or something, it just recommends the ’video of the moment’. I just turned 40, and having a midlife crisis. I live in South of France, but I’m not french originally, I am getting fed up with the daily routine. I’m a developer too. Seems like this job just turns us into modern day zombies. I realise that sharing a life with someone and having a family is the only thing which can stop us getting lost in this ever more dehumanised world.*
Poetic. I love the positivity and the poetic way you worded it. I noticed you said anime. Awesomeness. It’s good that your trying to find and pursue passions. Building a passion, building happiness in life takes work. But that work is important. It’s important to have enjoyments, it’s important to have happiness and love. These items are not easy to keep always, as we go through life, but they are important to build.
This rings so true to home, I think the most important part of life is connection with people... It's one thing to travel and see all these amazing places, but if you're fit & healthy and you find an opportunity to meet like minded people; you can go on these adventures together and that's where it can go to the next level... Maybe try staying at a backpackers when you're travelling solo, you never know who you'll meet, the crazy & fun things that can happen and the adventures you'll have.
I can feel what you say as you say it and I’m under something very similar makes me think people must look to either be very closely connected to a group and share an entangled life or pursue a huge goal and just essentially live in devotion to it.
I stayed in capsule hotels across Vietnam and Indonesia and they were all awesome and met some really cool people. Average cost was about $6/night
Wow, Techlead channel really evolving. Less humor, more feels. Love it
this area looks great😍 love it, have to visit japan. by the way your hair looks waaaak🩵
"I'm a free wild spirit animal dancing in the woods" 🤣 love this humor
I think coders always come to the point where they feel lost in life because they're just useful idiots used by big brother to create the prison for the humanity.
Honestly that's the best explanation of what many of us feel but can't express clearly. Very well defined.
Yeah......
Brutal code pill.
I loved the parts showing the onsen and the food and lodging stuff too. Great to see and learn more about Japanese culture. Thanks too for the honesty about what you’re experiencing and how traveling and a life of means of not luxury isn’t all it’s made out to be. Like we all think being a millionaire solves all problems but it doesn’t really. I would suggest putting your money to work and finding a mate with it. There are dating clubs, matchmakers, etc (The Millionaire Matchmaker (Patti Stanger I think her name is if you’ve ever watched her show) comes to mind, but it doesn’t have to be her, just someone like that, though seeing an episode of you two working together would be um, interesting to say the least).
One of your best personal videos. And indeed the best channel about a midline crisis on KZhead !
Some of us don't have time to have a midlife crisis... You said that we must return to a simpler life but in the end money gives you the freedom to overthink life and realize that simple is better as long as you have the necessary money to support such a life.
You’ve gotta find a hobby. Maybe a reasonably priced one, not necessarily yachting unless you can easily afford it. That will bring together with some kind of community. The thing is, every hobby and activity is considered cringey in this day and age. And if you look at it in a certain way, it may be true. But you have to just bite the bullet and do it anyways, cringe or not. If you have a very active logical mind, you will always be coming up with reasons not to do things in life, and it leads to stagnation.
Thank you for these videos. I will never get to Japan so this is interesting to me. It is my number one place to visit
This is your best work so far. Hope you find someone special to share your amazing journeys with .
To be fair you're literally visiting one of the most densely populated and popular areas. Perhaps try hiking in the rockies, wyoming, montana. Absolute peace and calmness, hardly any tourists.
I'm wanting to go to Japan so bad! I plan to go in November. It looks beautiful, fun, and the food looks amazing. Although I hate to add to the tourist problem. My home area in the USA has been overrun by tourists and tons of people moving here in the past 5-10 years and I absolutely hate it, plus it makes living unaffordable for the locals. Guess thats the only bad thing about everything being at our fingertips. Everyone wants a piece of everything and nothing is hidden or sacred anymore.
I don't know you but, you better go to Japan, like now. Don't worry about the tourists. It's only noticeable in a few places really.
Love your videos and the way you express your thoughts!
That was a great video. Keep doing this.
Pretty much everything done on this vacation doesn’t involve interacting with others. It would be very hard for anyone to enjoy something like this. Why not rent a car and go driving in the mountains where you can meet and talk to touge driving enthusiasts or something like that. Anything more social.
This makes me want to go back to Japan so much.
I really find your openness and honesty refreshing.
Wow, this video really hit me somehow. Thanks a lot, it was a great vid! :)
Welcome to the world of INTJ. It's pretty easy to feel disconnected, even around friends and family. For me, I have found that I can get "burned out" pretty easily because I get hyper-focused and driven on things and start feeling unbalanced. This is unsolicited advice, but I would definitely keep your camera gear! Most people do not realize the skill and effort it takes to create this high of quality video and content. I think AI is a long way from matching this to this level. Also, you might want to try doing things like learning fine woodworking, or something that requires craftsmanship. I find that it helps to break things up a little. You can go really deep in it, get creative and tactile, and working with natural/exotic materials. Just some thoughts. Thanks for sharing this, Take care
Maybe you might run into your son?
Thank you for sharing. Please know that you are never alone. We love you. ❤️
That was so honest bro, thank you. My dream is to live just like you tbh. It does look/sound imperfect, but even if you chase after perfect you'll never get it anyway, might as well just "live" and see where life takes you.
What you're doing is very normal at different points in life but not necessarily a mid-life crisis. More people would do it if they could afford it. Checking out is a time out from all the worries of the world and just live without stress for a bit. Again you're a talented, handsome and wonderful person and so its ok to just live.
I think what is really meant by "don't overthink it" is that you should really come to accept that there is no such thing as perfection in reality. You really _should_ think about whatever matters to you, but there is a terrible return on investment of that time spent if you expect something unreasonable. I find it easier to adjust my expectations when I accept that by default, life is constant stress, pain, misery with the occasional orgasm. After that, life is pretty much heaven for most of us humans. For the most part, we're comparing which super car we prefer and ignoring the fact that super cars actually exist at all for us to even choose from.
I wonder if Techlead even reads his comments
@Crepdo are you Techlead?
Gosh, i enjoy your simplicity! ty
I have been using tLIT24f for a while now and I must say I'm impressed with its stability and user-friendliness. It's definitely one of my favorite cryptocurrencies out there.
Loved my last visit to Japan, mainly Tokyo. We hope to return. Asia is pretty much our second home with family there.
You may find it incredibly rewarding to help others in some way or another. I don't see enough people with money (or people in general) helping create a world they would want to live in, but I think a lot of times than can be more rewarding than any base pleasures. Just something to consider.
Thanks TechLead, just got laid off and booked a trip to Japan to do the same thing!
Many of us can relate to TechLead more than to our so-called friends in real life, these videos are priceless
I Love your content and the philosophy you share with us. Thank you Tech....
Im an early retiree and I have been watching techlead for a few years. Love the content. For anyone seeking an early retired life, its far better if you can share it with the right person or it can be a lonely freedom for some.
What was your job?
