The 4 Most Valuable YouTube Comments I’ve Ever Come Across
Insight bombs by strangers on the internet
YouTube isn’t a video platform that allows commenting.
It’s a conversation forum that also hosts videos — that’s how delightful most of the top comments are.
As a self-identified YouTube connoisseur that devours videos, I’ve come across my fair share of show-stopping comments.
I want to share 4 of the most hard-hitting ones.
True Masculinity Isn’t About Being a Fake Alpha Asshole
Dan Bilzerian has spawned the breed of fake alphas.
You know, the Instagram fops armed with cheap cigars, rented Lambos and hired plastic-faced models — trying to sell “How to get laid” programs.
So insidious is this epidemic that every pre-puberty Jeffrey holds this women-hating asshole archetype as his ideal.
This heart-rending comment perfectly summarizes actual masculinity.
A Navy SEAL hurling himself onto an enemy grenade to save his comrades. A billionaire CEO shaving his hair off to morally support his cancer-recovering wife.
A disabled single father raising his daughter with the utmost love. Don’t such exemplars stir something deep within you?
Something that puts validation-seeking ego trips and shallow shows of arrogance to shame?
“A superior man always assumes complete responsibility, knowing that, ultimately, he has no control at all and everything is out of his hands. He acts with impeccable courage and persistence, expecting nothing but the inherent feeling of completeness he enjoys in the fullest giving of his gift.”
That, my friend, is your core masculine essence in its purest form.
The Positive Feedback Cycle of Glory
The heroes we worship were normal men — that chose to ceaselessly take bold action when others didn’t.
Beyond-brilliant Benjamin Franklin. The bold inferno of Subhash Chandra Bose’s perseverance. The electric elegance of Nikola Tesla’s mind. Indira Gandhi’s iron rule pulled India out of crushing poverty.
Or even the earth-altering eccentricity of Elon Musk.
The annals of history immortalize such men and women — inspiring the next generation. So propagates the beautiful cycle.
Inaction means stagnation, and stagnation means death. Only by incessantly swimming forward can we survive the fickle waves of life.
Inspire the swimmers behind you and be inspired by the ones ahead.
We’ll all make it to the shore.
What Becoming a High-Value Man Should Entail
Being a “high-value” man has become synonymous with getting uber-jacked, earning f*ck loads of cash, and maintaining a rotating harem of women.
The “juicy side” of casual sex, spinning “plates”, and polygamy only juices your soul dry.
Muddled-up mental real estate. Tugging anxiety. Deep discontent and confusion. Instability. Alternating highs and lows. Worst of all?
Dumping your valuable sexual energy into a rubber sheath — that you could have instead transmuted into life-changing personal growth.
As Mateo rightly commented, there’s a much more empowering way to think about self-improvement and attracting the opposite sex.
It’s investing your sexual energy into building an amazing life for yourself — and your future family.
This also aligns with our innermost evolutionary desire — to breed with the best possible woman to pass on our genes.
We, Humans, Think Too Highly of Ourselves
Our lives span mere nano-seconds on the cosmic scale.
We’re tiny specks on a tiny planet orbiting an average star that’s but a minuscule dot in a galaxy surrounded by a billion other galaxies.
For all our grandiosity, we’re blood-filled balloons that a tiny blade can puncture and an invisible microbe can infect to death.
Today we’re here. Tomorrow we’re extinct — an invisible pesty microbe the universe washes off its hands.
This isn’t to disillusion you about life and makes you feel insignificant — it’s to show you how massive and omnipotent the universe (or any higher power) is.
A reminder to stay humble and grateful — for being able to share a single breath of this fascinating beast called the universe.
Life’s too short and we’re too insignificant to carry grudges, fret over imaginary problems, and sulk about things.
