The Fool: Wasted Potential and Overcoming It

You are a Fool, or you're not living! We constantly reject our potential, our power. We are always fools, but can we learn how to embrace life? Yes! Through fairy tales, an antique form of memes.
A very special thank you to Stijntje Booij for inspiring this video and filming it! Check out her music:
Fairy tales are emanations of very pure memes, and as you know, this is MemeAnalysis, and memes matter!

You’re lookin good man. Happy you’re bettering yourself.

Looking for someone fooler than himself..."

Lion symbolises bravery; it is invalid because the man is a coward. He can only be healed of his cowardice (the foolish fool killed) through the acts of courage.

So ask that pretty gal or handsome lad out! Take on that challenging but rewarding job opportunity offered!
Or reject them - but only if you are wise fool enough to hear when the mighty roar of call-to-your-adventure is coming from another road!

I really like these videos where you are reading a selection from a book.

i've always thought that the clueless somewhat embodies the archetypal fool's sincerity in uncertainness
it's really overlooked but it'd be nice to hear your deeper thoughts on it sometime. i love you

Bless you brother. Love your work. Took me decades to reach an understanding of what you seem to have grasped in youth.

I just acted like a fool and can feel this story deep. Interesting timing for you to upload.

Dutch people are showing up everywhere damn we got connections

indeed, the fool is a cycle that we all have within our own perceptions and biases. The lion is the image of the 'will to power' we will (or act) in order to devour the foolishness within us, yes. this story is a call to action and willing, this is the logical and divine fatalism that we must have to not waste our potential, otherwise, we cannot live life with fresh eyes and senses.

I adored this style of video, more readings are very very welcome!

I was thinking about indiana jones and the holy grail. How genius it is for the ultimate challenge to be an aesthetic one. In the end, what you really need is good taste to obtain immortality. And how powerful and useless it is. Its perfect! Very profound lesson about the mystic truth and the ultimate irony of it.
Edit: to conect with yhe theme of yhe video. Its important to understand that evwrything can be of importance and of no importance at all. To obtain the grail is nothing of importance. Live youe Life! Or youll fall in thw abyss

This was so eye opening for me. I can relate with this deeply.

[lawryyyyy]

“time never befriends a fool” wow it’s truly so over for me 😔

Your luck can only take you so far. You have to understand when an opportunity presents itself. I remember Jordan Peterson saying something about perception/"seeing"/paying attention was important. I think it had something to do with a many eyed god.

I am thankful for this video, i am most definitely a fool. Just as stated in the video, i am constantly reminded of my many positive attributes and i constantly "deny the world" as per seeking an either idealistic path or litteral self serving direction.
This was a great video and the meme is true, i am that meme. I am sure there are many more people just like me.
We should probably start a commune and cult😅

[Zhuntovany.Kavalir]

Story about a fool… Huh? I wonder who that’s for.

[drawphildraw]

Id love to listen to you read more fairy tales/analyze them

[pp-pwib]

I am surprised you didn't mention more about how The Fool is the number 0 major arcana card. I think the Major Arcama represent a cycle and that seems to match the themes about The Fool that you presented in this video.
