Existential Crisis youtube video
    #23975328 - 01/02/17 08:15 AM (7 years, 28 days ago)

Hey, made a video on what I understand about existential crises and what they are conceptually.

What you guys think?

So, your "crisis" was getting bored by playing video games, then getting a headache, then calling your dad, then pontificating on what it would be like if you really had a crisis?

Here we are smack dab in the middle of the sixth great extinction event on planet earth, and your crisis is "i got bored and my head hurt". 

I don't think you understand the word crisis, let alone that other word.

Pay attention is great advice,  but your take on existential crisis is narrow.

People are social animals, self validation is intertwined with social interaction.

What Lunareclipe aluded to, the apparent precarious state of the world, is at a root of, IMO, a lot of what is existential crises, the other thing that is, is the loss of meaning full social interaction. The amount of shit that is available to worry about has increased, ie. the precarious state of the world, whether it is worry worthy or not it has increased. The same things that allow greater knowledge of the world cut many off from some social interaction, the use of symbolic communication without the presence of the informer.

Cut being the operative word, divide and conquer.  The crisis is unfolding, whether worry worthy or not.  Word up to the wise, be prepared, not scared. 

Social interaction when the internet crashes will be more limited, once again, divide and conquer.

Those asleep at the wheel, unlike me, may have failed to notice the grid failures and recently near me the internet and phone system shut down for a few hours.  These are tests, and the next time it will be for reals. 

If you haven't built your social network, haven't stocked your bug out bag, don't have an escape plan, basically, you are fucked.

so-called existential crisis should happen a lot and shock the F outta yer!

I have had it watching terrible images of little children suffering in the evils in  war torn Aleppo

Them = us

what happens to them is what is happening to humans by the insane world system which is insane and evil

Realizing what homelessness means. it is not us and them. It is also YOU if you get Fed by this mean system. Waiting for you...always waiting waiting. It is you accepting it as 'normal'--that people sleep on the streets or in shtty hostels

So it is a waking up to reality/ the the oppression you are forced under

etc

Failing to grasp the hypothetical as true, as in science where the hypothetical must be accepted as true to progress in understanding.

That or grasping a hypothetical that is not scientifically literate.

You need to look outside your current historical framework of reality. Waking up, doing the usual shit and going to sleep used to be a meaningful life because it was all grounded in Gods redeeming grace. Now we do those things and find them meaningless. What your suffering from is as much a religious crisis as an existential crisis. Secular society breeds discontent, and before someone labels me a religious nutter I am an atheist. I just see the problems that come with secularism and believe the religiously minded when they say life would be meaningless without God or some ultimate redeeming force.
