The End The End The End The End The End The End The End

The End Holding me together and loving me and having patience with this obsession of me.

But I want to say thank you to you.

I haven't had an orthodox career.

and I've wanted more than anything to have your respect.

The first time I didn't feel it, but this time I feel it and I can't deny the fact that you like me right now.

You like me.

Well, I love people.

I get afraid of people sometimes.

There's a whole other life that I haven't really experienced that.

Like friendship is a thing I'm just beginning to learn about.

The fact that you have won the BMF title is so appropriate.

The fact that you called, you stood there with 10 seconds to go and pointed at the center of the octagon and put Justin Gaethje away.

It's one of the most special performances I've ever seen in my life.

All I gotta say, I'm him.

I'm him, guys.

Guys, there's an El Malador.

He is running away from the moon.

I'm him.

Why is it that our generation brags by calling ourselves somebody else?

You might hear this phrase when somebody kills it on the court, or passes a hard test in school, or lands a job with a fancy title.

But what does it imply about our goals if success is expressed by the phrase, I'm him.

Not I'm me, I'm him. Who?

You have within you a violent desire to be more.

You are not who you could be, and you're painfully aware of that fact, so somewhere along the line,

probably at 2am after binge watching motivational edits and ego gooning to hustle porn,

You decided you're not like everybody else.

You were, as they say, built different.

You told yourself, I will do whatever it takes to become exceptional at...

Well, that's not so important.

What matters is that you become exceptional at it.

You can decide exactly what it is later.

What's your ambition, Blaze?

Just to be instantly recognized.

But for what?

Famous for being famous.

But not necessarily for anything particular.

Exactly.

Just famous for being fair.

After all, it's not really about the sport or the entrepreneurship or the music or the academia.

These things are not the destination.

They are the vehicle and the destination is what?

It's your name in lights and the relief of knowing that you're so good they can't ignore you

Because it was never about being good.

It was about not being ignored.

But acknowledging that fact would mean admitting insecurity, and the greats you're inspired by aren't insecure, right?

If you want to be one of the greats, you have to act like them, so you brush past the evidence of insecurity and tell yourself it's about the love of the game.

Losing hurts more than winning feels good, but you don't let yourself think about that fact for long, otherwise you'll realize that you're not motivated by the joy of winning.

You're not even motivated by the fear of losing, but by the fear of being a loser, of being a failure.

It's a social identity thing.

That's why winning just feels like relief and losing feels like a terminal diagnosis.

Remember, you decided you're built different, so success merely maintains that ego, but failure.

Failure is an existential threat to your entire sense of self.

And by now, you've spent so many years tying your self-worth to your work that you can no longer tell them apart.

This dream of yours has become a mountain, and the mountain is you.

It's your own extraordinariness.

And with each late night, each neglected relationship, each selfish decision, You are shoveling dirt onto this mountainous dream of yours.

To other people it looks impressive, after all you'd have to be a god to build a whole mountain, but everyone's looking at what you built,

nobody is looking at the gigantic hole you dug to source the dirt that it's made of.

What others will see as an act of creation was really just an act of displacement, of redistribution.

You poured all your character stats into one attribute and Pawn did offers growth.

That's why you invest more into being respected than being respectable.

No worries, though.

If you hide your fear of being a failure well enough, then you might convince them that it took courage to become this successful.

But you'll know.

You'll know that it wasn't courage that made you jump off that tall cliff into the water.

You were just so terrified of the wasp that you jumped without even thinking it through.

Why?

Because you've never even asked yourself how you would broach the challenge of loving yourself if you were… ordinary.

Mediocrity, the fate of almost every human on earth and yet we have collectively transformed it into our generation's greatest boogeyman.

The arrival of whom would signal all but a justification for suicide.

Are you guys familiar with Dateline?

They voted him Personality of the Week eight years ago.

Failure's not an option.

Somebody once said to me, what happens if you don't fail?

Well I won't know because I'll probably be dead trying.

Do your Sean Connery you did.

Now, it might sound like I'm attacking ambition.

I'm not.

What I'm suggesting is that much of what passes for ambition is counterfeit.

It's the fear of irrelevance dressed up as heroism.

Why else would a whole generation be chasing the same goals?

That's statistically improbable.

The solution here is not to wage war against ambition

or to tell people to settle for inauthentic office jobs just because they fit the mold.

That's just the other side of the same fear.

But when the culture reaches the point where satisfaction itself is viewed with contempt, maybe we have all gone mad.

We don't need more hustle porn, because our generation is not at risk of being unambitious.

We are at risk of suicide.

And perhaps the incessant messaging that our value as humans is accurately reflected by our status, that the mere ordinary life is somehow shameful,

is at least in part to blame.

Hustlebots will tell you that they don't want to reach their deathbed and look back with regret.

They will tell you that is why they work so hard

But the most common deathbed regret is I wish I didn't work so hard

Still once they're done watching this video They will continue gulping down the motivational kool-aid as

if that one stat doesn't undermine their entire project Why?

Because we were raised on this shit

Marty supreme whiplash wolf of wall street peaky blinders We've been fed

so much hustle porn that when we watch these tragic movies we walk out of the cinema feeling inspired.

100

The characters in these movies are not heroes.

101

These movies are supposed to be warnings about the dark side of counterfeit ambition.

102

But we are so afraid of fading into obscurity, so terrified of being forgotten, that even the cost of glory is painted gold.

103

I think being the greatest musician of the 20th century is anybody's idea of success.

104

Dying broke and drunk and full of heroin at the age of 34 is not exactly my idea of success.

105

I'd rather die drunk broke at 34

106

and have people at a dinner table talk about me than live to be rich

107

and sober at 90 and nobody remember who I was.

108

The hero's journey has turned inward and we have made a monster of the so-called ordinary life.

109

I'm sure they'll make great school board presidents someday.

110

Oh, that's what this is all about?

111

You think you're better than us? catch you on quickly and model you in.

112

So for many of us, chasing greatness has become a kind of lifelong obsession.

113

Obsession.

114

This word used to describe a form of mental illness, but today it's a compliment.

115

Because if we are obsessed, then maybe one day we will be great.

116

And if we are great, then maybe we deserve to exist.

117

That's that Mamba mentality, baby be?

118

Our generation is often criticized for being entitled, for believing we are special snowflakes, but I think this is bullshit.

119

The problem is not that we think we are special, it's the exact opposite.

120

The problem is that we are terrified that we are not, and the so-called evidence

121

that we think we are special is just the things we do to cope with the fear that we don't matter.

122

Think about it, we grew up with the internet.

123

The world is bigger than it's ever been for any generation before us.

124

A few generations ago, the world was essentially your town, you were one of about a hundred people in your neighbourhood, of course you felt significant.

125

But for Gen Z, the world really is the entire globe from the time we're

126

toddlers overhearing Channel 4 news about the war in the Middle East, so of course we're existentially terrified of blending into the crowd.

127

In other words, of not being special.

128

On top of this, the attention economy has everyone screaming at the top of their lungs to be noticed, and all this noise raises the question,

129

how will anyone hear me scream in a world this loud?

130

Whether we notice it or not, I think our whole generation, our internet generation, has grown up with that question in the deepest parts of our souls.

131

How will anyone hear us scream in a world this loud?

132

why we craft identities that make us stick out.

133

Which way, modern man?

134

Dye your hair the most noticeable colour available and get involved in activism as an excuse to use a megaphone, or get on steroids at 15,

135

learn how to do a crypto scam and post 300 stories about making moves in silence.

136

Anything to be noticed, to be different, to be him.

137

Fundamentally to be loved.

138

It sounds soppy, but it's true.

139

We pay a heavy price to acquire the love we feel we lack, but at the end of the night we all have to go home to ourselves.

140

So you better make sure you still recognize your reflection in the mirror, otherwise all your years of hustling

141

and grinding will have achieved nothing other than rallying public approval for a person that you're not.

142

And that is a life of regret.

143

Not an ordinary life with meaningful relationships, because maybe the ones who sacrifice those relationships for the sake of their own greatness are not the ones who are great,

144

but the ones who feel the biggest need to be.

145

Sacrifice okay, my life is the product of all the choices.

146

I've had to make your life is a product I don't

147

even know what your life is the product of you're just

148

making up as you go along That's the kind of person you are that's not the kind of person.

149

I am okay because I want to be great And you're not I Want to be one of the greats

150

And I would stop you from doing that Yeah You're right,

151

we should not be dating.

152

And that paints their success in a very different light.

153

It's still success, yes, but in much the same way as a heroin addict finding a ton of heroin is success.

154

It's almost always at the expense of growth.

155

Why else would all the grates seem so small behind closed doors?

156

Perhaps their relentless pursuit of greatness is itself a form of cope.

157

To name just a few examples, John Lennon preached peace and love, but beat his first wife and largely abandoned his son Julian.

158

Steve Jobs denied paternity of his daughter Lisa for years, parked in handicapped spots, cried and bullied employees to get his way,

159

and outsourced to sweatshops to cut costs.

160

Stanley Kubrick was legendarily abusive to actors.

161

Kobe Bryant said that the cost of greatness is not being a good friend,

162

son or nephew, and then cheated on his wife with a 19 year old who reported him for rape.

163

And of course not every famous person likes character, there are exceptions to the rule, but the very fact that there are exceptions is evidence of the rule.

164

There's a reason why we have the phrase, never meet your heroes.

165

And the saddest part about all of this is

166

that many of us have subscribed so wholeheartedly to this narcissistic picture of greatness

167

that we even emulate the faults of our heroes in an attempt to get closer to them.

168

Remember when the Steve Jobs biopic came out

169

and bosses all over the world started being assholes to their employees because they thought it would make them more like Steve?

170

They could tell us it's lonely at the top and we would beg for loneliness.

171

This is a form of tunnel vision so extreme that it could pass for mental illness, only it's so common, so pervasive,

172

that we fail to notice it just as a fish fails to notice the water in which it swims.

173

This is why the movie Whiplash was seen as inspiring by so many, when it was simply a character study of narcissism,

174

and yet nobody, not even myself, batted an eye.

175

No, I set the damn film as my lock screen.

176

There are things in this world that are worth preserving,

177

worth sacrificing for, and it will be a sign of a confident health

178

when our own glory is no longer considered to be one of them.

179

I'm writing this video as much as a note to self as to you,

180

because I am very much one of the people I'm critiquing in this video.

181

One of the most well-performing videos on my channel was essentially the opposite of this one.

182

It was an ode to the pursuit of greatness.

183

For years I wanted to be famous, to be great, and that desire was a symptom of my own immaturity.

184

In other words, my desire for greatness was a thinly veiled attempt at distracting myself and others from my insecurities.

185

It was incredibly motivating, of course, but when I got a small dose of what I was looking for, it did not fill me with the euphoria I had imagined.

186

In reality, the approval of crowds didn't fill me with anything.

187

It kind of felt like that scene in Kung Fu Panda, when he finally gets the dragon scroll and, spoiler alert, it was empty.

188

I had dreamt for years about how success would rewrite history and justify my existence and all of the suffering it contained,

189

but when I finally opened the first installment of my oh-so-sought-after prize, there was simply nothing inside.

190

Maybe bursts of excitement, sure, but nothing lasting.

191

And even that excitement was just anticipation for a promised land that never arrived.

192

Fame is flash paper.

193

And before you say it, I know, a couple of well-performing YouTube videos is not fame, but it's the first step on that ladder,

194

and it was enough to give me a sense of where it leads.

195

So please, if you are someone who feels the need to be great, If you are someone who thought the movie Whiplash was inspiring,

196

listen to me when I say, there is simply no there, there.

197

And for the love of God, do not listen to Goggins.

198

I love Goggins, but please do not listen to him.

199

Do not sacrifice the people who actually matter to you as

200

if they were some sort of dead weight holding you back from climbing your mountain of greatness.

201

Because the person you become on the way up is the person who arrives at the top.

202

so you'd better make sure that person isn't lonely.

203

I'm not saying that anyone who is pursuing exposure on their personal brand fits the picture I've been painting in this video.

204

I'm not saying you should quit whatever it is that you are working on.

205

All I'm saying is that you should take a really honest look at the reasons why you are pursuing what you're pursuing.

206

Because many people will like to put forth pure reasons, not so much to convince you of those reasons, but to convince themselves.

207

They will say they want to become a world-class musician because they love it, and that they simply need exposure as a means to that end.

208

But all too often, it's the other way around.

209

Their true goal is exposure, and their guitar is merely the means of acquiring it.

210

Truth is, whether you're blindly pursuing a safe office job to fit in, or blindly pursuing fame and glory to stand out,

211

Whether you're a white sheep or a black sheep, you're still just a sheep.

212

If you are one of those people, then sure, one day you will get what you're looking for, and that will be your punishment.

213

Kurt Cobain killed himself at 27.

214

What do you think he meant when he said, I tried so hard and got so far, but in the end it doesn't even matter?

215

Wait, it wasn't Kurt Cobain who said that.

216

It was Chester Bennington from Linkin Park who also killed himself.

217

He didn't say I tried so hard and failed and that's why I'm depressed.

218

No, he got what he wanted and found it was made of air.

219

The problem with trying to become a star is that success leaves you floating alone in space.

220

George Sanders, an Oscar-winning actor, a star of stars, left a suicide note in which he said, Dear world, I am leaving you because I am bored.

221

Praise only lands when it wasn't the goal, and even then, not for long.

222

I think what we are all really looking for is love, and praise is her evil twin that steals her identity and seduces us into bed under false pretenses,

223

only for us to wake up and find her gone by the morning, having been nothing but a diversion.

224

I'm aware that all of this might sound kind of doomer-y to those still enamoured by the charms of Lady Praise, hoping for a long and fulfilling life by her side.

225

After all, nobody wants to hear that the person they've been chasing and struggling to get is actually kind of a slut.

226

But I promise you, Praise is a stripper that you pay with time.

227

And if telling you that the stripper doesn't love you is a doomer take, then fuck it, paint me grey.

228

I'd much rather you find someone who does, I'd much rather you find you,

229

someone who your audience will never know.

230

Thank you.

231

The End

232

Thank you.

233

I am the oppressor of the person I condemn, not his friend and fellow sufferer.

234

I do not in the least mean to say that we must never pass judgment when we desire to help and improve.

235

But if the doctor wishes to help a human being, he must be able to accept him as he is.

236

and he can do this in reality only when he has already seen and accepted himself as he is.

237

Perhaps this sounds very simple but simple things are always the most difficult.

238

In actual life it requires the greatest art to be simple

239

and so acceptance of oneself is the essence of the moral problem and the acid test of one's whole outlook on life.

240

that I feed the beggar, that I forgive an insult, that I love my enemy in the name of Christ, all these are undoubtedly great virtues.

241

What I do unto the least of my brethren, that I do unto Christ.

242

But what if I should discover that the least amongst them all, the poorest of all beggars, the most impudent of all offenders, yea, the very fiend himself,

243

that these are within me, and that I myself stand in need of the arms of my own kindness,

244

that I myself am the enemy who must be loved.

245

What then?

246

Then, as a rule, the whole truth of Christianity is reversed.

247

There is then no more talk of love and long-suffering.

248

We say to the brother within us, Raka, and condemn and rage against ourselves.

249

We hide him from the world.

250

We deny ever having met this least among the lowly in ourselves.

251

And had it been God himself who drew near to us in this despicable form, we should have denied him a thousand times before a single cock had crowed.

252

Healing may be called, Jung says, a religious problem.

253

In the sphere of social or national relations, the state of suffering may be civil war,

254

and this state is to be cured by the Christian virtue of forgiveness and love of one's enemies.

255

That which we recommend with the conviction of good Christians as applicable to external situations, we must also apply inwardly in the treatment of neurosis.

256

This is why modern man has heard enough about guilt and sin.

257

He is sorely beset by his own bad conscience.

258

and wants rather to know how he is to reconcile himself with his own nature, how he is to love the enemy in his own heart and call the wolf his brother.

259

The modern man does not want to know in what way he can imitate Christ, but in what way he can live his own individual life,

260

however meager and uninteresting it may be.

261

It is because every form of imitation seems to him deadening and sterile,

262

that he rebels against the force of tradition that would hold him to well-trodden ways.

263

All such roads for him lead in the wrong direction.

264

He may not know it, but he behaves as if his own individual life were God's special will, which must be fulfilled at all costs.

265

This is the source of his egoism, which is one of the most tangible evils of the neurotic state.

266

but the person who tells him he is too egoistic has already lost his confidence and rightly so

267

for that person has driven him still further into his neurosis

268

if I wish to effect a cure for my patients I

269

am forced to acknowledge the deep significance of their egoism I should be blind indeed

270

if I did not recognize it as a true will of God

271

I must even help the patient to prevail in his egoism.

272

If he succeeds in this, he estranges himself from other people.

273

He drives them away, and they come to themselves as they should, for they were seeking to rob him of his sacred egoism.

274

This must be left to them, for it is his strongest and healthiest power.

275

It is, as I have said, a true will of God, which sometimes drives him into complete isolation.

276

However wretched this state may be, it also stands him in good stead.

277

For in this way alone can he get to know himself

278

and learn what an invaluable treasure is the love of his fellow beings.

279

It is moreover only in the state of complete abandonment and loneliness that we experience the helpful powers of our own natures.

280

When one has several times seen this development at work, one can no longer deny that what was evil has turned to good,

281

and that what seemed good has kept alive the forces of evil.

282

The archdemon of egoism leads us along the royal road to that ingathering which religious experience demands.

283

What we observe here is a fundamental law of life, enantiodromia, or conversion into the opposite.

284

And it is this that makes possible the reunion of the warring halves of the personality, and thereby brings the civil war to an end.

285

Thank you.

このビデオを使った英語学習では、自然な会話のリズムと感情を込めた発音、そして口語的なフレーズの使い方を身につけることができます。特に「I'm him」のような現代的な表現や、「You like me right now」のようなリアルな会話の流れを学ぶことで、IELTSスピーキング対策にも役立つ実践的なスキルが養えます。

聞き取りに注意すべき発音のポイント

ネイティブスピーカーの発音では、リンキングやリダクションがよく使われます。この動画では「haven't had」が「ハベント・ハッド」ではなく「ハベン・ハッド」となるリダクション、「want to」が「ワンナ」とつながるリンキングが見られます。また、「violent desire」のような強調されたフレーズでは、母音の伸ばし方に注意して聞くと、より自然な発音のコツがつかめます。

ネイティブのように話すコツ

英語シャドーイング（shadow speak）をする際は、スピーカーのリズムとストレスを真似ることが重要です。この動画のスピーチでは、感情が高まる部分で語尾が上がり、「I'm him」のようなフレーズでは強くストレスを置いています。シャドーイングの練習時には、まずゆっくりとスピーカーの発音を追い、慣れてきたら同じ速さで繰り返しましょう。これにより、自然な会話の流れと自信をつけることができます。

動画で英語学習をするメリットは、リアルな場面での発音やリズムを体感できることです。このビデオを使って継続的に練習すれば、スピーキングのスキルが大幅に向上し、IELTSなどの試験だけでなく、実際の会話でも自信を持って話せるようになります。ぜひ今日からシャドーイングを始めてみてください！

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
