In this video I explore the concept of lachesism and how disasters can both lead to positive personality transformations but can also break us down.

As Tyler once said “We’re the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War’s a spiritual war… our Great Depression is our lives. We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won’t. And we’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off.”
Im still waiting for my parents to tell me were actually millionaires

Comment for the bloody algorithm!
No
why do i see this comment everywhere
Yesssss

There was a study done around the world. Where citizens of all walks of life were given 10,000 Dollars. Some paid bills, some went on trips some saved. All had a similar response 6 months later. That 10,000 Dollars bought them happiness.
Hellen Keller said it beautifully. "Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it."
yea except helen keller is a lie
Using a quote from hellen keller is the same as using a quote from hitler, both have said horrible and stupid things.
@@sir_genericname4781Fr she was born deaf and blind how did she know what's going on in the world
As Tyler eloquently put "It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything."
Too gud..
Everything is story. The past is story. What we tell ourselves and each other is story. Dreams and nightmares are story. Our view of the world is story. Dance, math, science , history…all stories. Everything is story.
To go with Nietzsche's "Dyonysic" Zarathustra, against Hegel's "Appolinic" version of "the End of History" : - Not everything. There is still an Eternity of future "unborn" Stories yet to come. ^^
Well done :> Stories are a way to remind us that everyone goes through this to one degree or another. And that is a great comfort when feeling alone in despair.
Its only after we have lost everything that we are free to do anything. Fear is the mind killer.
I've been putting myself through some stuff for the past couple of years. Things I didn't want to do, but I did anyway. And I realised, above all else, above politics and opinion, I did it because I felt so anxious, I needed to apply it to something. Something that seemed big and indescribable and world crushing. I made myself hit rock bottom after the constant uncontrollable anxiety became too much. At least I could control it then. And I didn't realise it was self destructive behaviour only until recently. You keep perpetuating it because you think you need it. And through these experiences, it made me realise. 1: I am not alone. 2: I can really hold a grudge. 3: I desperately want to be tough. To stare into the eyes of someone 7 feet taller than me and be uncaring. I want to be objective and win. But thats wrong. To care is a gift. We must craft our care. See it for what it is. Who it effects. Don't ask yourself why you care, because probably you won't be able to control it. Instead, learn that something harsh or bad or brutal does not make caring or empathy any less valuable, and yes, this does apply to yourself. Take care of yourself. Don't pummel yourself into a corner because you want to be someone else. Don't bring yourself down, add to yourself. Gain new perspectives and experiences outside of violent outbursts. Don't control your emotion, experience it, analyse it, and come to a better understanding. Knowledge doesn't defeat anxiety, understanding does.

You made me cry... I remembered my mom's death.
So sorry for your loss! I actually started reflecting on this more when my mom had a cancer scare last year (50/50 chance after first exam). I could already feel my world crumbling and seeing her cry and the despair in my dad's eyes was horrific. We were unbelievably lucky that it turned out benign but it did make me think a lot.
@@storytellers1 thanks. Give your mom an extra hug, please.
Profound and powerful. Thank you for your artistry.
Thank you!
I love seeing Academy of ideas getting some spotlight on their efforts to educate for a better self
Well-done. When one is in the depths of despair, it's very hard to see any light, anywhere. But, hope is possible.
The struggle.
V v true friend
One of the best philosophical talks I've heard on KZhead and the channel isn't even entirely dedicated to it
The universe knew that I needed to see this video! "You do not have to wait.." MESSAGE RECEIVED!
Love this channel for the thoughtful commentary on storytelling and relaxing voice, didn't expect to get a surprise therapy session in the best way 😌
I was already getting very emotional but the moment I saw Uncle Iroh I literally started crying. Beautiful and poignant video. ❤️❤️
love that i found these 2 videos, this is a concept i've been ruminating on recently in my own projects so its cool to see it broken down
Thanks for this video. I've been reading a lot into destruction, creation and reassembly of personality.
This is literally one of the best KZhead Channels.
This was GODDAMN beautiful. Thank you!!
Well done mate! Keep digging deep with these videos!
I’m glad you made this update it shows your responsibility and continuous openness to accepting change
Thanks for your vids man, they always touch me in one way or another. This one hit special though
Absolutely incredible video! Deserved 100x more views!
These truly makes the best stories.
What an amazing closure for the first part .
Excellent video Lars! A tremendous follow-up that dare I say is even better than the first! Glad to see you making videos again
Thanks man! Right back at you. More videos coming soon.
Academy of Ideas is one of the best channels on YT
Thanks for this! I've been going through some struggles and this gave me a new perspective on what it's like when we go through bad times, and it's given me some hope I can change for the better.
When I watch these movies I get the point. I feel it. I wouldn’t be able to articulate it but I do get it. You putting it in words tho really drives the point home for me. Thank you for these videos! You are great at explaining these stories!
I'm so happy to see you again making videos.
More to come!
@@storytellers1 I'll be there
Amazing work
I have just survived an encounter with the dragon of chaos. It took every part of me to survive. This is my story. Thank you

Glad I found your channel love the content
There are light and hope ahead, you can still do something good to yourself or others not matter how low you can be right now
Mind Blowing in itself!!
big fan of your channel bro, keep it up
I hope everyone here finds their true purpose and finds happiness, God bless
This is such a well-thought out exploration of these themes by giving depth to such an often used “simple” concept in stories and movies. Well done, subscribed. Also: are you Dutch? 😁
haha yes very Dutch
Chaos is a ladder
Your videos are so good, man
Thank you!
I forgot I was subscribed to this channel, but fantastic video. Also algorithm comment.

The masculine urge to lose everything to become unstoppable
Very good man
Most people in USA & Canada pronunciation of books is “bux”. Credit to you for pronouncing it the way it is spelled, books!
thank you.
Great! Love it....
Great essay. Only thing I’d suggest is lowering the tempo a bit. These are quite deep and layers topics and speaking with a bit of slower pace and putting some clips that allow you to have a break a digest what was just said would make it easier to contextualise what was just said ans actually soak it in. Thanks for your interesting views!
background music 👌😍
Whether you think you will succeed or fail, you are right
More please!
may the algorythm gods be kind to you you very much deserve it
Lifesaver

Juist wat ik nodig had
Nice
nice
I love V for Vendetta.
What movie was this at 10:50? Very great vid btw.
50/50
These three guys are literally me
Definitely agree that rock bottom mythologising has very little to do with real world personal advancement. Personally I've always disliked the "scorched-earth burn-it-down-to-start-anew" attitude to development, especially when it is turned outward upon society at large. It is a hugely presumptuous, arrogant way to treat the world, and misunderstands the cyclical nature of history and political philosophy.
Reality sometimes seems fake...and fake seems reality
Wow, by your movie/series taste, we could have become great friends.
Self-Destruction > Self-Improvement
Most give up when trying for betterment, because they immediately realize the grind upon start. This is the exact reason why people descend to chaos and remain there or die. There is that thing that results in the self justification of "Aah never mind, I don't care anyway". The "thing" is a reason that once was practical, good and just, but since has lost its use. The "thing" and reason is attached and associated in the subconscious mind to worlds of identity. One does not simply drop all identity and self worth and history in order to rebuild. One does not drop it all, rebuild and emerge all enlightened. Because that is physically and psychologically absolutely impossible. Why? Because the brain has no concept of forgetting. The brain does not delete. Thus the worlds of identity is still there, even after emerging from hell. And that is the reason why nearly all who go to hell, stay in hell. The more clever way to find chaos and disaster is obviously to embrace the shaddow that C. G. Jung talked about. To know the demons name is to know where it wreaks havoc. To have the high ground is to know where and how to strategically steere and control the demon. Seems simple, but isn't. We all are blind to who we are and we don't battle with one but many shaddows and demons. But we humans are strongest in numbers. With the help of others we are able to find the demons.
Good vid, also what did u study?
Film studies at the University of Amsterdam

Yessir

❤️🔥
5:06 which movie
TV Show, Shameless (US)
Weird .....I thought the narrator was East Indian Living in the UK, regarding ethnic nationality. I was sooooooooooo off lol
LOL, yeah, a Dutch boy living in the Netherlands hahaha
@@storytellers1 once I saw you I laughed at myself cause it’s obvious. But There’s an exotic tinge to your voice. Maybe it’s just the pitch and tone. Apparently “Aesir” means “men of the east” so it sounds like mixing the hard vowel rolls of the UK accent with the harmony and fluidity of a Persian accents. Hittites. Sorry, I’m fascinated by such things lol
@@Spoeism Haha i'll take it, sounds better than yeez what a bad dutch accent
You need to collab with Like Stories of Old
I'll tell him we are in a discord group together with thomas flight and other guys in 'the video essay maffia' ;)
Nooo… no way. A part two?? I’ll be back with some 🍄🍄. There has never been another video that so greatly describes my strongest triumphs. And now there’s a part two? Comment to support the algorithm. 🙏🤘
We can we read more about Legacism?
Dictionary of Obscure Sorrow's video on KZhead was the original inspiration. Otherwise not a lot written about it (hence the obscure part). Weird how it is something so obscure yet I do think its universal
this is identical to the first
when episode 3 ? :)
I'm commenting for the goddamn algorithm
