What is the meaning crisis? | Lex Fridman

John’s YouTube series helped me through a very difficult time which I will always be grateful for. Thank you, John.

John put together pieces i struggled my entire life to understand. I dont think its possible to put into words the true meaning of his work. It saved me from the darkest period of my life. A place i thought the only way out of was death. Tonight i sat on my porch with an old friend and we talked so meaningfully watching the sunset and then i see this clip and all i can say is thank you john, without you i wouldn't be here to have beautiful moments like i did tonight. The craziest part is even if you just did that for me, your entire life would have immense meaning and purpose but im not the only one you have done that for.
Thank you will never be enough but... Thank you.

From the self created ego to wisdom: the hero’s journey.

I'm not yet finished with Awakening from the Meaning Crisis, and it's already had an incredible effect on my life. Everything has improved drastically, and I feel more and more at peace. Truly powerful work which I will review more and contemplate a lot about

I remember 30 years ago listening to Joseph Campbell speak about The Power of Myth and it had profound impact on me. I feel the same listening to John, you have provoked me to wonder. Thank you.

U got the sauce

[halawallah]

Damn! That was succinct, accurate, and painful at the same time

keep God, know yourself, fulfill your given needs.
It can be done on a “village level”. Most often people slip into lack of due action. They endure misery rather than endure change. But it’s an illusion. Stepping out & acclimating to a new way will bring comfort & satisfaction & more choices/bounties, minus the unbearable misery of a futile, unchanging, repetitive & accumulating unhealthy/non-optimal allowance. Action is more often required than enduring patience, which can be a lack of fortitude.
Start by remembering what caused your worst pains.
Then vow to eliminate, reduce, prevent, distance, forget, avoid it.👍 the day is still fresh.

I think there were perennial solutions, that accompanied our perennial problems. However, they've been hijacked and become nostalgic pieces of theater instead of being genuine connections to truth and insight. The ideals of sacrifice, service, virtue, and valor are embodied daily by a vast group of people. Nevertheless, many have abandoned the intuitions that espoused these ethics, but they themselves become a law unto themselves. They practice the beliefs of these broken systems while deregarding entirely organized religion.

We have a definition crisis. For one, the flat earthers; 2, the creationists, 3, the sovereign citizens... maybe more

Now put it into non-academic words please.

In other words no one knows, has ever known… and may never know … so get to work 👀😂

He is spousing the very BS he seeks to confront. Blind leading the blind people
