I think people severely underestimate the effect that they can have on the world. In fact, it’s almost like the disease of modern life. People have this perception; they have this idea of the world as just being a bunch of forces beyond their control. There are historical forces, there are trends that they can’t resist, and ultimately, they feel they have no control over their own lives. I think that could not be further from the truth. When you eventually realize that this is not the case, it might be too late.
Now, I’ve done a video before—probably a couple of years ago—talking about the kind of implicit scope in television. If you have a TV show where everything resets at the end, people do stuff, they make friends, they win money, and at the end, it all resets back to normal. This implicitly tells you something about life; it suggests that life is the way it is, and you can’t really do anything about it. However, I think talking about TV is a little superficial. A way to make it clearer is that all of us in the modern world have basically gone through a kind of brainwashing to make us accept that everything is beyond our control.
Formal education plays a significant role in this. What I mean by that is that formal education is not like the real world. In the real world, you have basically infinite possibilities. If you do something unexpected, valuable, or new, that is the best thing you can do. You can be a little entrepreneurial; you can readjust how people perceive things. You don’t have to follow a strict assignment. In formal education, however, the goal is that all of the trials you deal with are contrived trials. They’re like little games: “Here’s an assignment; do it this way, color in the lines, spell the right way,” etc. Anything outside of that is basically a waste of your time.
Mainstream psychology has this concept of learned helplessness. The idea is that if you put a person in a position where their actions don’t really affect the direction of where they’re going, they learn helplessness. They become depressed. Depression, more or less, is when people find themselves in a life position where they don’t feel like their actions make an effect on what they’re doing. They don’t want to do anything; they just sit around and feel like they can’t affect the world. That is the disease that so many people have.
What’s even worse is that we have this mindset in the modern world, especially in the post-Enlightenment world, that justifies all of this. You have this idea that everything in the world is just a natural trend that you ultimately cannot arrest or stop. It just has to be how it is. This mindset is very ubiquitous in sociology and other fields. You’re told, “This is just how it is; there’s nothing you can do about it.” We have sociologists, economists, and political theorists who will tell you this is how it has to be.
This isn’t me endorsing some kind of utopianism, but I am saying that people need to understand there have been so many times in history—at every moment in history—where history can be defined by individual people. I’m a fan of the whole great man theory of history. I think that’s really the most accurate way to describe history. For example, look at the country of France. Why do French people speak French? Because Julius Caesar, millennia ago, invaded Gaul and installed the Roman Republic in that area. Those people speak that language because of this one man.
There are many domains where this applies. It would be foolish to say that figures nowadays, like Donald Trump, are not significant. We don’t exactly know how he will be significant, but it’s stupid to say that there are just natural tendencies in the world and that nothing we do can stop them. Therefore, if any one person does this, that, or the other, it doesn’t really matter. If I do this, that, or the other, it doesn’t matter. Again, you’re taught this implicitly in formal education. It’s not like your teacher sits down and says, “I’m going to brainwash this little kid,” but they accidentally do it by putting a kid in a box—teaching him to do something simple while ensuring he doesn’t expand past that box.
Even online, I notice that many guys will email me or write comments saying, “Hey, Luke, I want to make money on the internet. What should I do?” Even when people want to be entrepreneurial, they still have this reflex to ask someone for step-by-step instructions. That’s not how it works.
I think it’s more important, especially for younger guys, to have real-world experiences to unlearn their learned helplessness. They need to see that they can easily have an effect on their surroundings. For example, I was told last month about the guy who made the Yankee Candle Company. In America, they sell these scented candles, and the guy who started it made candles when he was 16 just to get his mom something for Christmas. She liked it, and he turned it into a business. The rest is history.
It’s not like this guy changed the direction of the universe, but he changed what you find in gift stores. Now you have this new option, and other companies imitate it. It changes the vibe of houses and all that. That’s what you need to realize: everything is like that. There are no materialist factors that led this guy to reach this particular entrepreneurial solution.
Every little business that started or every invention often comes from people who happen upon something. There might be many things just laying there that we don’t know about. Imagine if we had societies that reached a level of complexity without something basic like the wheel. The Incan Empire didn’t have wheels, yet they expanded over a lot of territory. You can argue why they didn’t have it, but imagine being the Incan Emperor and being introduced to the concept of the wheel.
We’re in that same position where there are so many opportunities we don’t know of. I’m not saying this to make money or start businesses; that’s not my objective. What I am saying is that individual people have way more of an impact on the world than they expect. The error comes when you look at the world as just something that other people are doing, and you see yourself as merely an observer. That is such a negative worldview because it consigns you to be a cog in the machine. If that’s truly how you think, you can’t do anything other than be an employee.
As a side note, I talked about this in the “BS Jobs” podcast. People nowadays assume that you have to be an employee, work your way up the corporate ladder, make more money, and become a bigger employee—a bigger slave to some company. However, throughout human history, most people have not been employees. Even if they lived simple lives as farmers, they had a level of independence that people just don’t have nowadays.
Unfortunately, in many cases, people get so good at following orders as employees that they become emotionally attached to the comfort of having a certain job and income. It becomes hard for them to switch to another job or change their life orientation because so much is riding on something almost inconsequential. The slavishness of modern man is caused by many things, but today I’m thinking about this concept of formal education, which ties into the idea of trends in history that we can’t stop.
It’s like the old saying: if an economist sees a $100 bill on the ground, they say, “No, that’s not there because if there were a $100 bill on the ground, someone would have already picked it up.” That’s the mindset—good things happen to others, and they have to explain why it can’t happen to them. When you’re in the domain of pure coping, it becomes problematic.
I did a video on free will and mentioned that people often act like it’s a big revelation to believe that there’s no free will. In reality, it’s the opposite. It’s comforting for people to not believe in free will because that ultimately means they don’t have to be responsible for what they do or don’t do. They can sit around working a simple job that doesn’t matter and think, “Oh, I couldn’t have done anything else.”
It’s a frightening feeling to realize that you’re not 100% of what you could be doing. So, just remember that when you’re hustling or whatever. Either way, that’s it. I have to go.

I love the allure of having my stuff together yet ocassionaly allow myself to act like a total dumbass and still come out on top, but I was very much playing with fire and it came to bite me. I think this sort of soft self-sabotage stems from a sense of vulnerable narcissism.

When I was young my dad got laid off and it was a transition point for our family; my parents were talking about starting their own business and my grandmother said, "Don't do that-- it's too much work. Just get a job working for someone else." and I'll never forget what a blow it was to my family's confidence. She was a good grandmother in most of the ways that count but that sentiment was very damaging in retrospect.+66

@snailvania - 2025-05-20 13:49:32
The idea of having no ability to impact the world around you is probably the biggest affliction of spirit nowadays and I wholeheartedly believe it's the source of almost all of young men's problems today. I'm a Paramedic in a small, shithole Appalachian town that was hit hard by opiates. I was born and raised here and although I can acknowledge that I can't fix it on my own, there's no better feeling than going out to town and seeing someone I've brought back from an overdose and they're now sober and healthy. One incident that sticks with me was when I was a brand new EMT I had a one year old in cardiac arrest, we did all we could for him and got him to the hospital but never got an update. A year later and I see the parents in the grocery store with him and he looked so happy and healthy. Don't let the world beat you down bros, be the good you want to see.+22

"Yes you can change the world but it requires virtues like courage, consistency/ discipline, which you don't have/can't have, so why even try". I guess I know church, prayer and fasting are how you combat those.+147

MateuszMisztela Or they knew after thinking about it. It's not hard to realize something isn't going to work if all you have is an idea, but no direction. A person can do basically anything.

@NiceMicroTV - 2025-05-20 13:49:33
it's not just "too much work", you can manage working 12 hours a day for a year or two. It is too much risk, because even if you work you ass off 12 hours a day, you might fail and lose all your money. When you have kids to take care of, do you really want to take the risk of not being able to to spend time with them for then to go to total bankruptcy?+6

@sampopaukkonen4014 Thanks! Here are a few scattershot questions. Feel free to respond to whichever ones you want; no need to answer all of them: How (and when) did you make the transition from CS (presumably industry-focused) to Math academia? Did you have math-related research experience during your undergrad? What fields of pure math are you interested in currently? What were the most influential courses on you that you took during undergrad? And finally, what was your favorite class? Thanks again!+2
@transposemusic-d3b - 2025-05-20 13:49:34

@sampopaukkonen4014 - 2025-05-20 13:49:34
@transposemusic-d3b I do not have the statistics to back this up, but I am conjecturing that it is also likely that the proportion of people studying pure mathematics who also use the internet to express themselves, like via Youtube channels, has increased. So while the absolute number of people might have decreased, the subject itself has received more attention in online communities.+1

If you struggle with basic shit like not being lazy - you're already cooked. Great men don't have to construct their lives or put even an ounce of thought or effort in to not being lazy, they just DO things. Using modernity as an excuse is nonsense - at any point in time, for any one, it has always been possible to be lazy. In response to comments like this: "Well just move to the middle of bumfuck nowhere and live alone bro, it helped me combat X, Y and Z" : Great men never lived in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, and they were never isolated. Great men build communities, they don't isolate themselves.+1

@zebobm - 2025-05-20 13:49:39
I kinda disagree with "just an employee" thing. You can be an employee and impact the structure inside your company to make significant change progressively. Of course, this is not world-changing, but it can be fulfilling and fun at your level. You can have fun too as an "employee", you're not always slaving in a meaningless job.+4

Firstly: Glad to see Luke finally fixed his arch drivers. Secondly: You can just do things. I think it's important to understand that each individual person has the power to change things and strive for a better life, but also that not everyone needs to change the fabric of the universe. You can cause a lot of impact locally, you can do things without some an amazing roadmap to dominate the entire world.+4

@FourOfClubs - 2025-05-20 13:49:42
Thank you for coming back, Luke. Your insights are very much appreciated. The problem of learned helplessness stems from irresponsibility. If you don't feel responsible for your situation in life, then people feel like they're not at fault for whatever happens to them. It's a comfortable but ultimately life-ruining belief. Brian Tracy wrote about it in many of his books. Depression is caused by feeling you lack control, and you're helpless, and it's caused by refusing to take responsibility. Taking responsibility is uncomfortable and stress-inducing, but leads to growth, while refusing it is comfortable and soothing but dooms you to stagnation.+7

@one_step_sideways I didn't mean it like that. My point is that Luke is not some "entity of the internet". I think the comment is just redundant. It's not really something out of the ordinary. It's not like there's some code of conduct that you must "reintroduce" yourself because you didn't post in 2 years, and it's certainly not something weird for Luke not to. It's just kinda dumb. You are interjecting something that has nothing to do with what I meant.+2

Regarding the learned helplessness: My mother is like that, she cries about how miserable her life is so I'll give a suggestion to improve it then she goes on about the bad things that could happen or how much work it'll be... Lately it's been rubbing off on me and I've been stuck in a cycle of constant failure to get back on track. She's a great example of who I don't want to be and I've forgotten. I love her of course and get that its more her upbringing.+1
@calebsanter8190 - 2025-05-20 13:49:46
Haven't seen your videos before, but I really like this one. Education ruined me. I was great at school...effortlessly...learned almost nothing but I do know that I'm a good test taker. Everything since college has been a complete relearning process as in I've had to learn what the real world is like through experience. There's no hack or step by step guide you can find on reddit or YouTube unfortunately...but like you said through conscious effort we can have more of an impact than we think sometimes when we least expect it+4

@wrcz - 2025-05-20 13:49:46
The learned helplessness is big though. I always think of doing something cool with my life and end up failing one way or another. I keep trying but it's just not so easy as deciding to be a great man. Luck is a big factor. Still, good to keep trying. But having a normal job is acceptable too. After all, nobody will remember us anyway, sooner or later even the greatest men will be forgotten. And you can make an impact on the world (if that's what you're after) even by carving something into a stone or helping somebody and then that has a ripple effect on their surroundings as well. I think sometimes we stress too much about becoming great and important. Just do what you think is cool and I think that's good enough mostly. And sometimes that leads to something great, sometimes it doesn't.+15

"Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past." When you say that people in France speak French because of Julius Caesar, you're deciding to stop asking "why" prematurely. Julius Caesar, sure, but in what way? Because he willed it so? Why did he will it? I promise I am not trying to strawman. To insist on the primacy of matter isn't a moral decision. It is a better way to talk about things if one is attempting to investigate and provide answers that are communicable.+3

I'm not Christian, but I've been reading and watching Orthodox content for the last couple of years. There is a draw to it I can't shake it. Father Spyridon in particular is great, and I really like following Luke's conversion.+11
@slatebrick6016 - 2025-05-20 13:49:47
I'm so glad you're alright and still pondering! I'd been thinking about the ethics of social media lately and how corrosive it can be to creativity. Which is what you've been saying for ages. However to teach the widest amount of people one must interact with the very thing that should be avoided. If I create content for social media I would be contributing to the time wasting machine that hampers my own creativity, but to provide solutions to the most people I have to go were the people are, which for now is social media. Oh well, moderation might be the best solution. Anyway, You've been an inspiration to me for years now+1

A lot of the most interesting people you meet are those who were allowed to be bored because they had very limited sources of entertainment. That boredom drives them to carry out the thoughts they entertain in their head, whether digging a big hole, building a motorized skateboard, or selling some niche item because you think it is cool. It is very hard to impose boredom on yourself when you know you have options to avoid boredom.+1

I never understand why people couple free will and responsibility. With or without free will, you will face consequences of your actions. Determinism works both ways: you can say that the past defines the present (and the future); and you can say that the present defines the past (and the future). If you believe in determinism, you must believe that your choice right now defines the whole existence.+2

This made me think of chaos theory. In a complex system, even very tiny changes can have an outsized impact. Of course a single person can have a big impact on history. Even individual decisions can have dramatic consequences on the course of events. The only reason it's not obvious to us is that once things happen we feel like they were bound to happen.+1
@nichtgestalt - 2025-05-20 13:49:50
I've read a lot of Nietzsche lately and I learned what kind of impact a book can have on it's reader. Before that I always laughed at "book copers" but let me tell you... It changed my life positively and phrases like your title don't seem so abstract and far away anymore. Like in a butterfly effect I met a lot of interesting people because of that. So striving kinda hits "home". Nice to see you again btw and thanks for your thoughts.+1

4:42 Attributing the entire Roman conquest to a single man is continuing the psyops my dude. The Romans were conquerors, and Julius Caesar was born and shaped by them. Attributing the Roman conquest to France entirely to Julius Caesar is like attributing the creation of the Macintosh to Steve Jobs. There are no great men. There are only people and all people can be great, but we're usually only great together. Nothing. Nothing is done alone. A book without a reader is pointless. A speech without an audience, pointless. There are no Islands. We are all in this together.+16

Speaking of thinking for yourself and thinking outside the box, you can read all the important philosophy books and papers on free will and do the hard work and think things through and honestly come to the conclusion that there is no free will without developing learned helplessness or a defeatist attitude. You can reject free will while appreciating the fact that you won't be happy unless you work as hard as you possibly can to do the right thing every day. In fact, if the free will skeptic really thinks that they've solved the puzzle of free will, then they should think that they can solve other puzzles too in the pursuit of living a good life.+1

@flyofthefirefly - 2025-05-20 13:49:51
> A book without a reader is pointless. A speech without an audience, pointless. There are no Islands. We are all in this together. So this leads us from "There are no great men" to "There are great man if they are perceived as such" which means there are great people if there are people left to witness him. Which means there are great people. Out of that we can exclude the audience and come to a conclusion that great people can exist even if they are not called as such.+1
@The-Game-Jammer - 2025-05-20 13:49:51
@flyofthefirefly there are only people who can do both great and terrible things within their lifetime. Assuming greatness from perception is a mistake. Great acts should be lauded and awarded. Terrible Acts should be repelled and profaned. And all people should be treated as people, worthy all the same. The concept of Great Men is not only sexist. It's pointless+1

The internet provides hypercompetition too through social media. You see people living absolutely insane lifestyles. It has clearly demotivated a lot of people but has only helped me. The last time I watched this channel I was super chopped but over a year got into looksmaxxing and look very good now. Then before that I made my first 10k at 16 without working a job and currently have a clothing bussiness (which tbf im slacking on cuz it sells winter clothes) Living on the internet and my mindset has literally helped me completely twist my "genetic destiny". You are not destined to anything in this life. You could go into the forests tommorow and dissapear and hike your entire country. There is literally nothing holding u back. Once u assign man made barriers in your head you become nothing better than the rest of the depressed soys you see walking around.+1

fun fact, being an employee with a stable, well paying job that doesn't suck all the energy out of you how an entrepreneurial path would, might mean that you can spend your time and energy to actually be a great asset to your local community. It is a fallacy to think, that the only thing that matters is whether you can change the "world". There are 8 billion of us, most of us won't, even if we die trying. What you and I can do is make the lives of the ~100 people closest to us better.+2

The big secret is we have so much power, we are semi Gods. And we can connect with the source to the Aether in the Earth with the heart (all similar words). If we understand where we live a closed system interconnected with level water inside surrounded by an electromagnetic torus with its event horizon, which is like a mega quantum computer reality generator with its own physics rules and sky clock, all in interaction with the energy by each being with body, mind and soul. If we understand are true nature and not the fake cosmos that has been told to us since we were childs. In that case we will understand better the importance of each individual action and the huge importance and effect that we have in our realm.+2

@twistedxenos9029 - 2025-06-19 18:49:54
The very first experience you have in this reality, being born, is completely beyond your control. That alone should be a strong hint about the nature of this existence. When things go your way, you feel in control. When they don’t, you feel powerless. So which is it? Are you truly in control, or is control just an illusion that appears when life aligns with your expectations?+1

@Jackson_Zheng - 2025-05-20 13:49:55
I think "matter" or "impact" only makes sense in context. Any action can have an impact and also not have an impact. The wings of a butterfly can sway a flower in this moment, but it can also create a hurricane 50 years from now. When you stretch the time horizon far enough, you can almost certainly say that X was caused by your actions and you made it happen. But at that point, it loses meaning. So when people say "it doesn't matter" or "you can't change things" - that's generally on a macroscopic level, not a microscopic level. Of course you can change a lot of stuff, but after you die, wars will still be fought in future generations, civilisations will rise and fall, the economy will continue to expirience booms and busts, and many things like that will happen no matter how you conduct your life. But if none of that matters and what matters is what impact you can have on people you know today, then of course, there's plenty of things you can do to change the current world.+1

Hey Luke, I don't necessarily agree with everything you endorse but your Michel Thomas recommendation in one of your blog posts changed my life.

Besides all of the obligatory jokes. This could not be more on point and is hitting very close to home. Just had a conversation today with a colleague that resembles a classical salary man and made me worry to what we are up to. This isn't the mindset that society needs to advance. Where's the fun in that... People aren't even challenging themselves anymore.+1

@erikdellidlpuntocom4632 - 2025-05-20 13:49:55
I think you would like the "Caos y Orden" book from spanish philosopher Antonio Escohotado. He is a pagan-hegelian-hippie-classical liberal but the book showcases how Newtonian physics began to shape deterministic thought and contemporary "science" by ignoring the infinite complexity of the real world, which extrapolated to politics yielded the atrocities of the modern world: mass-like collectives on which forces act upon. In general his work is very good+1

3:00 Depression can go even further, not just "My actions cannot affect the world." But also "My action cannot affect myself." It's an anti-theosis view point. We are stuck in 'sin' and we cannot escape. So as it goes: might as well enjoy what you have around yourself until you die.+1

I think being an employee is not bad by itself. Lack of regulations leads to making it more and more like slavery, and that’s the evil part. I think current standard of living is the best in history for most of western world. Maybe people weren’t employed before, but they lived miserable lives. Depression wasn’t a thing for people who were struggling with everyday live. Their actions mattered, but they had no choice.+1

There came a point around the six minute marker when you addressed the idea of not following a rigid plan to success. The problem is that is precisely what the elites do and have done for centuries. Keep it in the family, raised to rule from birth, introduced to financial and managerial concepts very early on. Generational wealth is not made by winging it and the stories the billionarie class cook up, i.e. "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" is a purposefully useless set of advice: it's suggesting someone to complete and impossible task to get where they are. The truth is you have be let into the club or you'll be kept out.+1

I think the problem is not with being an employee, but rather materialism. People tend to do jobs they don't want to do just because it affords them better stuff. They get to where they make enough to pay the payments and then get locked in, because then they have to keep making more and more. I am an employee, but my view is that I sell services that I want to do that I think make a good impact to companies. I am also a Christian and instead of seeking "a job", I seek a purpose that's inline with God's plans.+1

I mean, I agree that the thinking nowadays tends to be too negative and phlegmatic and I agree people should be more encouraged to take matters into their own hands. But that is an entirely separate argument from "making a difference in the world". Those that write history are so few, looking at historical figures and neglecting billions of people whose lives we don't know about is a bit silly. Statistically speaking, luck is the biggest factor in huge success. Likely no successful person could do it again if you gave them an empty hand today. I think there is peace in acceptance of that fact and recognition that you are the biggest form of influence on your own life, at least.+1

Is it possible for both stories to be accurate at the same time? Meaning, there are in fact natural tendencies in the world—a natural perpetuation that tends to occur—but each of us are also a part of that perpetuation....each of us does in fact matter. Personally, I both feel that I can contribute greatly to humanity, and even if I don't, humanity will still be fine. It will still move forward...and it will do so, greatly. My ego has found peace in the seemingly contradictory notion that I both matter and don't matter at the exact same time. Because for me, it's quite evident that they both ring true.+1

@hungrymusicwolf - 2025-05-30 13:50:01
What you're describing is science as a mental point of origin. People have learned to think of the world from the perspective of the third-person scientific perspective. That's why people's first thought (mental point of origin) when they see a problem in the world is "this is X force that I can't do anything about" instead of "it's that damn X thing again I'm going to punch it in the face!" Secondary education as we know it today was never meant to teach people how to think. It was an invention in the time of the industrial revolution to ensure they had enough educated workers to do factory jobs. Hence why those schools have a factory bell (or at least an alarm that sounds like one). That's also the reason why it's designed to kill any kind of independent thought, because after all you don't want your workers to act against their "definitely-not-slave-owners" instructions.+1

@Dalektardis123 - 2025-05-20 13:50:02
The Incans knew about and used wheels in very niche situations. We see it in their children's toys. What they critically lacked were strong pack animals. Combined with a lack of metal tools for making and maintaining wagon axels or wheels, we really shouldn't be surprised that we don't find them using wheels. This all from a lack of native copper and yokeable megafauna in the americas. Similarly, we shouldn't find it surprising that by the year 2025, there has been some force which had brought the neighboring areas of France and Italy under the same language group. Great Men have great effects on the world when they happen to fill a 'historical niche'. Caesar was Gaul's conqueror, but he couldn't have done very much if he was set on establishing the Yankee Candle empire. The Incans had geniuses and entrepreneurs; they lived in an economy built on stone stairs and pack Llamas.+1

All very good thoughts that I appreciate a lot. Thank you. Perhaps another thing to consider is that, in greatness is the want to please God. Many who pursue greatness will consider this question. Many have answered this differently, but underlying the need to do great things is a force that the great Animator Himself is backing us up. Christ is LORD. Christ first.+1

This is a good video. To me it explains why Calvinism is not the natural state of things. That you do have agency. This is a premise I believe in strongly. Decades ago I almost lost my faith because some "friends" were pushing predestination on me pretty hard. "Christian" friends they were. I couldn't get anywhere because I was predestined to be what I was at that moment. I wasn't a great man because I wasn't predestined to be one. Even though I was a lot younger at the time the concept rubbed me the wrong way. It irked me that any, and all, choices I made weren't of my own volition. Luke explains this in a nice way here. Anyway, "audentes Fortuna iuvat" or "Fortune favors the bold/brave." We all have agency and not everybody uses it, but a strong man is one who uses it. Makes decisions and act on it. A great man is one who makes decisions with a bit of knowledge and foresight.+1

John Gatto talked and wrote about the intent of the education system for years. I think it starts even as fundamentally as spelling and grammar. Back in the day the founding fathers didn't even spell properly, I'm pretty sure Ancient Latin doesn't have a dictionary. I think spelling and grammar rules are techniques to break your stream of consciousness. So instead of just pouring out vital and important ideas, most people are taught to stop and think "am I spelling this right, is this the right place to put this grammatical mark, is this sentence too long" etc. The next time some redditor tells you that you mispelt something, just ignore or ridicule them. Even breaking that one learned helpless behavior will help.+1

The thing is some people are followers and other people are leaders we should encourage more people to be leaders where there is potential and in fact on a small scale ALL humans at least have a few good ideas and the more of these ideas we can encourage people to pursue the better society would be.+1

> They speak French in France because of Julius Caeser. And also because of the large number of employees he had to make it happen. I think a lot of 'advice to young men' content creators deprecate the idea of being a team member rather than a leader/solo entrepreneur not because there's something inherently wrong with it, or because it's not valuable, but more thanks to the type of personality that is drawn to making videos giving advice.+1

People who are against the great man theory of history (more towards seeing systems and forces in the left sense) aren't against change in society, or seeing those forces as NATURAL. They think we should collectively change those forces in society. And of course, nearly every one of those thinkers will concede that there are great men who are forces of themselves in history. But we can't begin to challenge the hegemonic forces in society (capitalism) as individual great men (every loser who watches this youtube video). That's the atomized society of social media he sees today.+2

I agree with your general point but the Great Man theory is simply wrong. There are larger forces at play than individuals such as economic and institutional circumstances. People in France aren't talking French because of Caesar, it evolved because it was institutionally beneficial. Yes, he was the commander under whom Gaul was conquered but there is no evidence that he was the only one who would have been able to because he was "a great man".+1

I'm sceptical about this to be honest, or at least taking it with a grain of salt. A lot of problems with today's social condition is everyone fancying that they are, to borrow wording from documentary filmmaker Adam Curtis, "a revolution of one" by function of modern self-expression, something that came to the fore by hippies in 1960s. Few think in terms of political action any more, or even just power. Well, wherever power has disappeared to. So everyone is just left to talk about their feelings, not be part of anything. Popularity of calling oneself trans or autistic is part of this. "Look at me, this is how I think and feel about myself and the world! If I can loop people into feeling the world differently, that's changing the world!"+1

Christ has risen! Dear Luke. At the beginning of the year, my friend dragged me to a Roman-Catholic church and I was pleasantly suprised, but not quite convinced after rejecting Christian faith for years. Thanks to your conversation with Kyle, it finally "clicked". I live in a mostly Roman-Catholic country and I stuck to it as something "good enough", but I recently visited Montenegro, had a beautiful time there and am on my way to convert to Orthodoxy (seeing the local provost next Friday). Thank you for all your work, may your words sow many mustards seeds and move many mountains. Marcin+1

This is why it's so important to actively resist Donald Trump and everything he's doing at every level. Men like him derive their power from these employees, the people "just following orders", and those who comply in advance. If ICE agents had just that bit of agency, the entire institution would fall apart due to it's agents just not following orders. There's a reason "just following orders" wasn't getting people off the hook at the Nürnberg trials.+1

Hi Luke. Great points in the video. Have you considered that for those people who are very demanding of themselves - such as you, self-actualization may be as much about resting in solace with your own imperfection, as it is about achieving your utmost potential? I hope you at least sometimes try to see God in others and also in the wicked ways of the world. Love from Finland+1

OH MY GOD MY FAVORITE REAL LIFE MINECRAFT CONTENT CREATOR IS BACK! 😱😱😱🍆🍆🍆💦💦💦 Your point about TV shows undoing progress is because the writers are thinking "A plot per episode" - this is because they don't know how long the show is going to run so they do it this way to make it "future-proof" that allows them to run in for as long as they want. This means they don't build to a theme/point in order to be a financial asset. This has the unintended side effect of the show's theme/point being "Life is the way it is, and you can't really do anything about it." Shows that don't do this are not as common, they see it more as "A plot per show" where each episode advances the show's only plot, thus it does actually build to a theme/point. This means when the show is over, they can't make any more money off it unless the writers come up a sequel. Even though this is a better way, it still will be used as a stereotypical hollywood writer's propaganda soapbox.+1

I love following Christ more than anything but I do miss the drive and goals I once had, just seems that I have to take my focus off Christ to achieve them which is obviously a problem.+1

Wonderful video! However, don't throw historical circumstances out of the bus: people are products of their time. The conditions which Caesar took advantage of which changed our world were not something he personally laid, but he seized them firmly. Same with all great men. Obviously their personalities and ability to wield whatever was in front of them is why they are remembered in history and are certainly important, but they are parts of a bigger picture, products of their environment and the other people whom they met in life. There is no such thing as isolated growth or development in human society+1

I'm not sure if this counts as a synchronicity but I was just thinking about your Millenial TV psy op video just 1 hour ago when thinking I haven't made much progress in my life lately, then I see this video recommended to me after not watching you for at least 6 months. I even followed a similar train of thought as you with why "gifted kids" struggle to get ahead because of school (thinking the grades matter and that school is how life works) and even contemplated how Trump is the first president we have had since WW2 to break the status quo of neo-liberalism/evil American empire. Very weird. Very strange. I don't know what to make of it. I've considered that maybe my computer microphone heard me talk to myself in the bathroom before my shower where I thought of all this but I don't see how. I've been reading a lot of Carl Jung lately and have come to the realization that my conceptions of cause and effect are beomcing flipped and only then do I make progress in my particular goals and projects. Sorry for schizo posting but wondering if any of this makes sense. I even read a twitter thread about the great man of history theory being the default view of history before the marxist materialist view came along (But I think you may have also read that thread as well.)+1

This channel is spergie central, so chances are a lot of people your talking with in the comment section will become ultra wealthy or make something very niche or be important in someway. The world rewards spergies and autists in the modern day like Elon. Dont let that be supressed by school, blackpill etc. (ofc blackpill defines ur dating but not ur economic or social outcome on the world - which even then you can defy by looksmaxxing). The possibilities are literally endless if your a perfectionist or your mind works in different ways, its a gift from God not a disorder. It will either beat you to the ground or bring you life.+1

False dichotomy: EITHER history consists of 'natural' trends that we are powerless to do anything about; OR it is made solely by the actions of 'great men' -- of great individuals who singlehandedly impose their will on the course of events. No other outlooks are possible! If you reject one, it must be because you believe in the other! (Kind of like how prople think about the U.S. corporate parties....) Whatever you do, DON'T ask how it was that Rome and Julius Caesar got into a position where he was able to use the might of Rome to conquer Gaul. Even to ask such questions will mark you as someone who believes that there are nothing but 'natural' trends that we are powerless to do anything about. No, we are not powerless -- BUT, it is futile to act without taking into account the structures within which one operates, that have been handed down from the past, and what has shaped them to this point.+1

You're mixing different things together to create a skewed view of the world. Just because you talk smart does not mean that it makes sense. I won't argue every point made. 1. I agree that we all have power to change a lot, but it does not tie to where and how we work. Being employeed does not affect how well you will make your life and whether or not you are able to create a good community. To live well you don't need a lot overall, people that are "surviving" and are "tamed" can't manage their lives well. I have a friend that complains he does not have the income that I have, yet spends more than me. When the end of the month comes for him, he starts to worry. He is replaceable in his job and this makes him a "slave". 2. There is no free will, or at least not fully. Our past actions and mentality shape our future. The lack of free will does not mean that you can be irresponsible. Quite the opposite, just because of your present options you can take the one that is best for you at the moment. Becoming a stunt man when your whole life has been of a painter does not make sense and this lack of free will protects you from doing things that differ too much from you. Of course this also restrict you.+1

Very simple framework seems to go into your life where you use an obnoxiously simple graphical environment on your computer and you follow what seems like an especially rigid form of Christianity. I'm glad to discover more truly usable technology and more simplified means of daily life. Modern technology often does neglect that people want to think for themselves and have not-overly complicated technology that they can easily manage and service themselves. I fucking love XFCE and rim brakes on my bike for example. Anyway I don't understand the extremely rigid and inconvenient life choices that you make but then I remember people wouldn't find you that interesting otherwise.+2

what? why did it take so long to say nothing you either make an impact by luck fate i or you know a lot of people and are well organized I have a great idea want to exchange narratives? I can place a wager that the answer will be no answer if you have a good idea maybe you'll get lucky if you have power you are already lucky+1

It would be better to call it the inertia of modern man. Everybody following the path of least resistance. I thought I will never see another Luke Smith video. Even less that he would look like Karl Marx. Based clothing choice.+1
@MisunderstoodWierdo - 2025-05-20 13:50:22
Guy who believes he has a great impact on the world because he reiterates tired red pill bullshit to several thousand /g/ posters.+3

It is so sad to see a very inteligent and sensible person being tormented by capitalism and not even realizing it. Luke's obssesion with image is funny though. Returns after so long and acts as if he does not give a damn. Hahahaha.+1
@arsray7285 - 2025-05-20 13:50:22
luke needs to ask himself what conditions around him allowed him the oppertunity to not be a prole+2

Yeah i think this guy has lost it. Seems to be stuck in anti covid panic like many others.+2
@brandonrobinson3829 - 2025-06-11 13:50:23
Sensible ? Please he made shitty online rants and decent tech content. His rants are hogwash, designed to capture the attention of his young impressible audience. He is just doing this for ego nothing more.+2
@vouneo - 2025-05-20 13:50:23
Lol wtf+2
@DarkSoulsWeed - 2025-05-20 13:50:23
This guy is weird because he is has a PhD in linguistics but he talks about big ideas in vague meme terms in a pop philosophy/sociology way, which is probably why he has such a large audience. It's nice that he shares his thoughts but the whole curated "Ted-pilled BASED philosopher in the woods" thing he's going for here is very put on and cringe. Guys like this should be left in 2018 where they belong+3
