not me raising a kid for the philosophy experiment

'you should feel lost, there's nowhere to go or to be' DAMN DAMON changed my life right there

[Theunitedcolorsofstyle]

I feel so validated by these chats. It’s so nice to know that there are other people in the world thinking these thoughts and pondering their existence. I appreciate your “unpopular opinions” and that you are able to be balanced and thoughtful in both you delivery and thought process. All of this to say thank you for all the masterpieces you put on the internet. Sending you positive energy!

My mom had me at 25, and in encouraging me to move to Europe for my Masters, she shared a similar sentiment about wishing she’d known herself deeper before raising a kid. She was still learning and growing up herself. There’s never going to be a perfect time, but it’s ok to take some time and enjoy the privilege of some ‘selfish’ years before becoming a parent or partner (or both). At least that was her advice.

Hey Damon! I recently went to Morocco on my first solo trip and met a Canadian girl there. Funnily enough we found out that we're both big fans of your videos and everything you talk about, which lead us to philosophise about several topics concerning culture, traveling, differences between North America and Europe etc. that you also like to talk about. Thank you for always raising new questions and motivating us to think about those topics more, we could really connect through that even though we're from different cultures. I wish you the best time in Indonesia and all of your upcoming trips Damon 🤍🤍

Your view on always having to make choices and therefore sacrifices is something I think about all the time! It was presented to me in more of a Buddhist view of always “choosing your suffering”. So yeah for example you will suffer if you choose to stay in your hometown because you’ll be thinking of all the things you could be doing otherwise. And you’ll also be suffering if you leave because you’ll miss certain things. It’s never that one suffering is objectively worse than another it’s just which YOU choose. And you (almost) always have the choice!

Heyy! I can't thank you enough for this treasure of 1 HOUR! More life lessons and philosophy! Honestly, only been able to survive work with your videos in the back ground. ❤

"Wow, my friend, you've become the ultimate 'Bali Guru'! Watching your video feels like embarking on a mystical journey to the land of wisdom and tranquility. I mean, you're practically a walking, talking spiritual guidebook now! 😄

But here's the thing, Bali isn't just a place on the map anymore; it's a state of mind. You've managed to capture the essence of this enchanting island and infuse it into your advice. It's like you've sprinkled Balinese magic dust on each word, making it impossible not to be captivated by your wisdom.

I can picture you sitting cross-legged on a tropical beach, surrounded by a chorus of chirping birds, as you share your life-changing insights. And I must admit, your aura is so radiant that it's reaching through the screen and transforming my day. Can you send some of that positive energy to my inbox too? 😇

Thank you for sharing your incredible journey and imparting your spiritual knowledge with the world. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to meditate and embrace my inner Bali spirit. Namaste, my friend!"

As an Indonesian subscriber who basically grew up watching your videos from the Shut Up and Go days and being definitively shaped by them, this makes me so happy

[strwbry_e]

What I appreciate ab your videos is that you offer me a perspective that nobody around me can realistically offer me. I feel that I'm not being cheated on the truth for the sake of my feelings or for the sake of what the other person believes I want to hear when I just want an honest unfiltered experience. Thanks for using this platform to re-empower people to feel justified making a decision for their own sake, and for reaffirming that in the end it's all going to be okay if a person is willing to resolve their situation and seek personal fulfillment.

OKAY I see you FISHEYE

It's a very important question whether to have a child or not. I'm 48 and I have a 17 yo son but since I've never had any maternal instinct and got pregnant just because I thought it was the right time ("you're 30, how long are you going to wait, you may not be able to have children later in life" etc.) not because I wanted to have a child. I love my son, I think/hope I didn't damage him terribly, but if I could turn back time I would NEVER make the same decision. I feel like I have aged not 17 but 27 years. Motherhood has drained me completely, reactivated all my childhood traumas, made my life, whatever was important to me non existent, so if you don't feel the instinct, don't do it to yourself. I wish I could turn back time, I want my old self back, but I'm afraid it's too late, I am not the same person, in fact, "if I met me now I wouldn't know me".

Not me crying when Damon told the story of surprising his mom by them turning a corner and she getting to see the Eiffel Tower IRL for the first time😭😭😭

[angeliea.]

I adore these kind of videos. I was about to have an existential crisis this morning. This video calmed me down, made me remember what I value more. Thank you, Damon.

Wow, okay what a video. Literally only like 10 minutes in and I'm having mind blowing realizations. Not only do you talk about topics or share perspectives that I don't often see online, but on top of this, you have some of the most creative editing and cinematography I've ever seen! Like how is this available for free on YouTube!? How do you make one of these a week!? You're so talented Damon!

hi! i studied pharmacy and work in pharmaceutical biology and i see often that people call synthetical drugs poisonous or dangerous or toxic compared to things that have biological origin - i always feel a bit iffy because this destroys the trust towards certain medication. most countries spend a long time to ensure synthetic drugs to be safe and vice versa, drugs derived from plants can still show a lot of side effects or be toxic when used in the wrong combination/for the wrong reason. most drugs have their place and reason if they are not used by business people to make money and i support the balance of both, plant-derived and synthetic drugs. now i know, the examples you used were actually good ones where shifts towards more natural remedies are useful and less invasive so i hope you don't read this as criticism.
i also really enjoy your videos and all the things i learn through you! x

[Jadeinan]

I lovvveee the longer videos! Would you ever start a podcast of just your thoughts on life and philosophy and experiences? I would tune in for sure! Love always! xx
