Everyone is talking about the "believe in yourself" bit bit I think the monkeys and the way they're dealt with is the best part. You have the ignorant monkey, who only does what it does without thinking about what that actually entails, who is dissuaded when the human tells him eating brains isn't enjoyable. Then, you have the well-intentioned monkey, who doesn't see his actions as wrong and is even willing to spare the human, given he will participate in the brain eating with them; dissuaded by the human explaining why eating brains is actually evil. Then you have the fully aware "evil" monkey who can not be reasoned with and is only dissuaded when met with real resistance (the hockey stick). Three different components that explain WHY people do things that are wrong.

I would argue that the character did believe in himself, just not in the trite cliche way that people usually mean it. He took a hard look at himself, honestly evaluated what he had to work with, and then used it. So often "believe in yourself" is used to justify acting like someone else, which is the very opposite of believing in yourself. To truly believe in yourself you have actually know who you are and what you have to offer, even if it isn't much.

Maybe, but if it helps looking at confidence and to have confidence in a more sane and healthy way, I guess I'm gonna keep it. He may not be confident enough to blindly think he would get out unharmed or debrainified but he used what he had in the moments, with the right confidence that he could do his best and hope that it'd work but have in mind that failure is a real possibility. Just do it, you can't learn everything in theory

Just because god is within you doesn’t mean you’ll actually use him right. And addressing heaven, if that’s where an all loving god wanted us all to be then isn’t that where we would be right now? The fact that we aren’t would mean that there is either a loving purpose to both heaven and earth as it is, and that there’s a good reason that we’re here experiencing love and suffering, or that god has limitations of what he can do to help us. Which do you think is more feasible?

A message that hits even harder now that I've come to the awareness that I likely have ADHD (hence why finishing projects has always been incredibly difficult for me, and most have gone unfinished throughout my life).

I don't gotta risk nothing. If a monkey comes to eat my brains, then I'll do the best I can to avoid it. But I have no reason to go risk that if there are no monkeys.

I love this as a metaphor for depression, toxic positivity from a lack of experience, the “see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil” maxim, and even the fact that rather than using irrational and unwarranted confidence. I also loved how the main character used logos (I am nasty, therefore I am nasty to eat), pathos (I will show you why it is wrong to eat others’ brains because it is the core of their being), and ethos (I’ve already dealt with the two other monkeys the nice way when I could have done it in a much meaner way), respectively. I don’t know if that was intentional, but it was certainly real.

This video is just a proof that Mattias has gone clinically insane after the many years of his mind being exposed to his grandfather's monkey pet incident.

@@damanallaid I think the metaphor is more in context in a economy/game theory standpoint. In a game where you can choose to shoot the deer, say if you try to shoot it, you have a 30% chance of missing killing the deer and it running away. If you choose to not shoot the deer, you have a 100% of not hitting the deer, hence missing killing the deer. The game does not consider if you want to save the bullet for later, as everything exists in this one small situation. Missing is not defined as missing an attempt, it’s more like missing the opportunity to succeed. I still agree with you that this phrase would not work in a more complex environment where attempts can be given up for better choices, but in the situation of trying something or gain nothing, it works better.

This is really good. Even with me realizing it was the 3 monkey tale from Asian folklore when it got to the second one. And I really vibe with saying believing in yourself won't solve anything. Because at least in my book, the much more important attribute is courage. Courage is knowing that the odds are stacked against you but still doing it anyways. Courage is being terrified to fight someone but still doing it. And after watching this I've realized how cowardly I've been in pursuing my art career.

He completely disregarded what the old man said and took care of the monkeys his own way. He believed in what he could do by himself. Honestly, I think the end of the video was unintentionally going against the moral the maker meant for. I think it was meant to be a moral about not blindly believing in yourself, but in the end, the guy beat the monkeys by doing just that. He believed in himself so hard, whether or not he was aware of it, he talked three monkeys out of eating his brain. And after doing this, he said he hadn't believed while doing it. Bullshit. If he hadn't believed on some level that he could talk a monkey out of eating his brain, he would have given up and died. He believed that it was dangerous, and he unconsciously believed he could do it anyway. That he didn't need anyone else's advice, that he could defeat the monkeys his own way. So he did.

You can still try going at something while not believing you will be succesful with it, and despite that, still do it. Belief in oneself is not necessary to try and do something. It may help, but it's not an obligation. He was in an alarming an dangerous situation and didn't want to die so despite believing that he would fail he still tried to get out of the situation and did it. It's like standing on top of a burning skyscraper, on the edge and there's a helicopter passing nearby but its still too far away for you to jump. You don't believe you can jump, but it's either death or death and you have a chance if you try. Even if you don't believe in yourself, you will take that chance. Taking this chance is not believing in oneself, it's just trying despite everything. And even if you don't believe you can do it, you are going to try because you don't need baseless confidence to actually try and do something.

Interesting take, the way I’ve always take that “believe in yourself” advice has always been more like, believe that it’s possible? Believe that you could do it maybe. I’m in school for computer science and the amount of times a problem has been thrown in front of me and my first thought has been an overwhelming “I don’t even know where to *begin* doing this” has been many, but the amount of times I’ve managed to complete those problems even after thinking that has also been many so I’ve kinda gotten into the habit of just shutting out that initial doubt and trying it. The way I see, the mountain may indeed be unclimbable but I can’t tell from the bottom whether it is or not, so best just to start climbing and give it what you can; if you failed well at least you know how to climb that much of that mountain now, maybe it’ll be useful somewhere else.

Just like his grandpa, he really likes monkeys

What a treasure. He's criminally under subed

I'm not sure if it was intended as such, but this video offers a great example of what it's like to battle mental illness.

Thank you for the lesson, I needed to hear this to be honest ❤

Also I love the several parodies of "live laugh love" decorating the walls. I've started to write them down in my notes, and every time I think of a new parody I add it to the list.

I knew it, Before I even saw the first monkey I knew it was the no evil trio of monkeys 🙈 🙊 🙉 . See no evil, speak no evil and hear no evil. Very nice video sir, cheered up my day.

I’m pretty sure this has loads of subtext that is going right over my head, but at the same time I did pick up on the monkeys being a reference to the eastern proverb, “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”

There’re a few layers to this See/speak/hear/do no evil, 1st refused to look at what it wanted to do evil to, 2nd was revolted at the idea it’s committed evil, 3rd was shocked to hear how evil it is compared to its opposition, and the human refused to ever entertain evil, sticking strictly to pacifism Way of handling conflict, first dissuade someone from doing as they’re about to do, then appeal to their morality, if all else fails, threaten so they prioritize their safety over your harm False gurus, be wary of the advice of people who claim to be wise, even as they may be old, they may have never faced the problem they dictate you on, their ‘advice’ can prove as dangerous, if not moreso, than whatever plagues you Conducting yourself through life, never be armed with unwarranted confidence, such is akin to charging headlong into danger with a shield of paper, instead, have fear, be wary, it will beckon you to step back every once in a while and think things through, allowing you to recognize the threat to be avoided and exploit whatever can be in a bid to triumph

When you take all the precautions you can and accept that in the end you may still fail, confidence will ensue naturally, and if it doesn´t, is not the end of the world either. Your videos are so refreshing and realistic without being nihilistic in the slitest, i love them :D

see no evil, speak no evil and hear no evil, i like that pattern, its clever

Feel no evil and do no evil too

Introverts either: *VIOLENTLY SMASHING THE MONKEYS* or “Eat my brains already, I don’t wanna deal with this.”

This video explains monkeys as if they're omnipotent, but they turn into emojis in 5 seconds.

Always love a good see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil Although it is sad that feel no evil is left out Great video btw!

Do no evil* and it's the protagonist. They were offered as, and represented, not doing evil in a way. So did the old man.

I realize these are sorta open for interpretation, but either way this really spoke to me and I think helped me, as most of your videos do. I've been putting some important things off for a while because I wasn't sure if I could do it but I don't care if I can or not. If I don't try I'll never know if I could or not. Thank you.

I like the whole see no evil, speak no evil hear no evil reference.

Discovered you today. I love the things you put out. Theyre amazing on so many levels

What he said: The monkey has been eagerly listening What I heard: The monkey has been E-girly listening

"Live, giraffe, love" was my favorite ;)

the monkeys kinda look like the see no, hear no, speak no evil monkey statues

Am I the only one who found the fact that there is an alarm outside of the door that only alerts you if 3 monkeys are in your house

That's why we have monkey checks

I like that the old man’s wisdom was believe in yourself cuz when narrator goes “There’s no way you can possibly defeat 3 monkeys” I felt he was very wrong.

2:28 “I don’t want to sound too alarming but there is a monkey in your kitchen” Me sitting in my kitchen:

Lol this feels like a wacky dnd sesson where you keep rolling natural 20 on persuasion.

What a coincidence! I’m writing a game based on the three wise monkeys, and ever since, there’s been references and indications of that all over the place! And now YOU! the moment I saw that thumbnail, I knew what I was in for XD

@@MattiasPilhede oh and the game will be where you find an ancient temple, and each door has a specific monkey over it. These doors will transport you to a level where you have to traverse by either not being able to see, so the only thing you have is your hearing Not being able to hear, where all you have is your sight, and lastly speaking… which… erm… I think I will skip that one, considering people don’t really talk when playing anyway. Now, tbh I thought of this game after another game I thought of called As Blind as a Bat, which I think is much more fleshed out in gameplay ideas. It’s where you traverse a pitch black cave and all you have is a sonar (which when used could attract monstrous bats) and a satnav (which has a screen as you know; but can attract monstrous spiders) so you have to use them sparingly. I might not make the game about three wize monkeys, considering As Blind As A Bat could take its place, but it’s a cool idea that I might do and flesh out more, to make a bit different then As Blind As A Bat! And I thought of another called “As Deaf as a Post” which I think you can guess what that’s about, although it is way less fleshed out then the game about three wize monkeys… Tbh, I think I can only make one or the other, considering they are both quite similar… but I’m hoping that I could make them both unique and fun in their own way! (Also ABAAB was inspired by Iron Lung, just in case if you were wondering).

@MageBurger I wouldn’t say early in production, more like early in making it at all. I just wrote the game, it not made it. I’m learning C# tho from Brackeys! Give it a few years (I at least hope its a few) so I can code it! I’m still learning a bunch of tutorials.

Damn it pumped me up a lot just when I needed it ! It give a lot to think about. What touched me the most is that the neighbor never even fought monkeys and sent everyone to their demise. And still we focus too much on the advices of people who know nothing about the subject or never bothered to try :)

This is one of my favorite videos of yours. Second only to the Airlock Robot. Those monkeys look so devilish, but very comical

Love your content man. Seriously some of the most unique and thought provoking stuff out there

Similar to when someone answers, "How do I buy good parts?" with "Find a supplier you trust" but gives no advice on how to find a trustable supplier.

This is the best way to tell that not believing in yourself is ok

No disrespect but this is kind of hypocritical. The only reason he defeated the monkeys was that he was able to talk them down into not eating his brains, you think that somebody who hasn't fought monkeys would believe that talking them down would work?

Fantastically good at hiding real life advice behind haha funny random humor
