The Two Biggest Lies in HISTORY

What if we were made to believe something so strange that it would change the fabric of society? 😱

These two lies are the two most powerful forces that marketing and medicine....and even politics seem to sell us.

1️⃣ LIE ONE: Focus on symptoms and not causes.
2️⃣ LIE TWO: Pleasure is the same as happiness.

In this video, I'll explore with you, the causes of some of these deceptions, and I hope you'll come to see that our culture is almost rooted in these two deceptions. From marketing and sales to medicine and politics, these LIES seem to be interwoven in the fabric of our culture as a whole. Knowing them and being aware of them will make you start seeing these EVERYWHERE you look.

“The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.”Selwyn Duke

Years ago at church, in a discussion in a women’s group and after listening a while to all the usual comments on discouraging kids from drugs and alcohol my friend stood up and said “If you try to teach your kids that Everything about drugs is ‘bad’—if they try drugs they’re going to realize quickly that you don’t know what you’re talking about”. As these women started dragging their jaws off the floor, and with a couple sketchy looks her way, she said “I’m not gonna lie—drugs are fun! and they can feel good! You have to teach your kids the difference between fun or pleasure, and happiness”!
I certainly never forgot it!

What I learned about brain chemicals when studying ADHD, depression, & addiction. Pleasure comes from immediate things, what dopamine does. Happiness comes from things that are not immediate but long term - what serotonin does.

And when we do too many things for pleasure, it can have a negative effect on our brains.

1) Cause Blindness - I recall many adults saying to me as a child "I wish I could play like you", piano. Eventually I popped off w/ "want to spend 4-5 hrs a day in practice, want to miss 100% of every film, tv show.... even formal education that others view as a right while you sit in isolation and practice... It was then my mom reached over to smack me saying "Do Not Ever Speak Disrespectfully to Adults". My view was "well tell those adults to stop being ignorant".

This is so great! More young(er) people need to understand this. I stopped these things when I reached my 50’s after my husband died unexpectedly and my mother died 10 days later. It took a couple of years to come to these realizations(after the death shocks wore down some). I downsized my life and left the toxic people behind and have never been happier with myself.

This is easily the most underrated YT channel currently.

1, cause blindness - concentrating on a result so much you can't see what caused it
2, pleasure/happiness - not seeing the difference between short term pleasure and long -term happiness
Still worth watching.

What an incredible video Chase! From the production to the enormously valuable information. EVERYONE needs to watch this!

[ruckbarbie]

It was haphazard, but we became a "hardcore Montessori" family where we didn't have a tv and my children grew up
without toys made of plastic, anything primary colored, or printed with cartoon characters. The AMI Montessori curriculum defines success by altruistic and compassionate living. My children are teenagers now and attend public school. The long term result of this pedagogical upbringing does not produce smarter teenagers with better gpa's. It does produce happier teenagers who turn into happier adults. Redefining myself as a parent who focused on raising kind, self-assured, happy humans was the best decision I've ever made.

Chase, I can feel your love for humanity and sense your ability to see where we are headed as a society, it warms my jaded heart, thank-you

Thank you Chase for making the topics more clearer and understandable.

This video is full of wisdom. I notice how often I hear people say something like, "I want to be a writer, " yet they don't put their butt in the chair and write 1000 words every day. This confused me until I realized, they want to "be" a writer but they don't want to write; they just want the status and benefits of being perceived as writer. They don't actually have a passion for writing itself, nor do they make the necessary work a priority.

This video also makes me think of Richard Feynman's story about "cargo cults" on islands where pre-industrial people did not understand airplanes landing on their island, bringing wonderful trade goods. When the planes stopped landing, they built fake airstrips and fake control towers out of palm trees and thatch. They hoped these symptoms of air travel would induce the men in the airplanes to come back.

2) SCORE! I will retain my hillbilly family who always seek to live with less. Sure, a sliding slope perhaps, but when was the last time you spent DAYS at a house or on a trail with over 73 cousins? I was there 2 weeks ago. A glass of buttermilk with raw onion and cornbread is better than any Michelin star rest. I know how to use outdoor "facilities" and at this point, prefer it. I know what it is like to haul water into the house. I can cook on a wood stove. I was expected to pursue God's plan for my life an outgrowth of "you are very smart, you can devour books, you need to go to uni, get a PhD and a great job" but I found was that my quiet grandparents who could barely sign their names were no less happy or intelligent than myself. Perhaps I should start some sort of "Hillbilly Experience" excursions. Oh, that's JD Vance's thing.

Thank you Chase. You can’t change physiology with psychology. I’m a reasonably intelligent person why hasn’t this occurred to me? Whenever I quit sugar I know that it’s 30 days, and it’s over physically. Same with coffee. A psychologist couldn’t do that no matter how many hours.
The happiness part I’m very focused on—I love happiness, pleasure is so momentary. Happiness from true contentment is incredible, no one can take it away.
But the other things that you said were new to me in the way you said and explained them.
It was simply said. Easy to take a phrase and really ponder it on a walk.
Thank you, I’m going to download your app.
I follow a handful of people that really add value to my life, you are definitely one of them.

Another very often unseen cause, or ignored cause, is childhood experiences affecting us for the rest of our lives – addictions, depression, etc etc.
We blame people for their bad “choices” – but they are the best/only choices available to the person at the time.
I hope parenting (or childhood development) is taken more seriously by everyone; and all people are allowed to flourish and be the best they can be.

[grammyofmany]

You are my favorite guy at this kind of thing, because the way you explain people is always very clear and precise, easy to understand. I appreciate you.

📌Do what everybody else is doing if you are okay with only having what everybody else has.Information that will pay you everyday, you've got to stop saving all your money.
Venture into investing some, if you really want financial stability.
Choose to grow and elevate your mind by studying audios, videos, attending conferences that will give you the edge!

Just found you here Chase from TBP. The pleasure/happiness point hits home after being prescribed gabapentin for a severe back injury. This is a hugely prescribed drug. After 2 weeks using it I started shopping and playing the lottery like crazy, something I’ve never done before AT ALL. After correlating the timing, I stopped using it and asked my doctor if this was a crazy side effect and he said it could be because it stimulates the pleasure center of the brain. I did feel momentary pleasure shopping and gambling, but the useless crap and wasted money made me UNHAPPY. I wonder what the fallout from this common pain med is on society as a whole. Great video sir!
