Discovering Authenticity: Unmasking the Layers

Unmasking Truth in Interviews: An Exploration with David Choe
In this revealing video, artist David Choe delves into the intricacies of human behavior and the pervasive nature of deception in interviews and everyday life. Drawing from his extensive experiences and interactions, Choe examines why people lie and how these lies shape our perception of ourselves and others.
David Choe begins by exploring the concept of interviews, noting that everyone has been interviewed at some point-whether for a job, school, or other opportunities. He argues that nearly all interviews contain lies because individuals strive to present their best selves, often exaggerating or omitting details to avoid judgment. This tendency to deceive extends beyond formal interviews into our daily lives, where even our primary forms of entertainment-television and movies-are rooted in fiction.
Choe reflects on his encounters with a diverse range of people, from celebrities to the homeless, and his quest for genuine human connection. He seeks moments when individuals drop their façades and reveal their true selves, even if only briefly. Choe acknowledges his own struggles with self-destructive behavior and self-hatred, and his tendency to push away those who care about him.
Throughout the video, Choe emphasizes the universal desire for acceptance and the fear of rejection that drives people to lie, cheat, and engage in harmful behaviors. He highlights the irony of our pursuit of love and acceptance, noting that our actions often contradict our desires. Choe's insights provide a profound look into the complexities of human nature and the importance of authenticity.
Join David Choe as he unpacks the layers of human deception, explores the motivations behind our actions, and shares his journey towards truth and genuine connection.
Key Points:
The prevalence of lies in interviews and daily life.
The impact of societal expectations on self-presentation.
The quest for genuine human connection and moments of authenticity.
The universal desire for acceptance and fear of rejection.
Personal reflections on self-destructive behavior and the pursuit of truth.

    One of the most difficult things with being authentic, is trying to self project "authenticity", and ended up just being someone you want to be, instead of being yourself.

    When I was in art school I did a small installation on "Why Do People Lie?". No one was interested in it and no one talked about it. I thought about lying for a long time and came to the same conclusion as you; we just want to be accepted and loved and very often we are just not willing to risk those things in order to tell the truth. The hardest thing, I think, is when we lie to ourselves. Then we're really fu#*ed. And it's harder to get out of lying to ourselves because we're not sure what we are doing. But it's always there, just a little beneath the surface. Thanks for this video.☮❤

    I hear you. I feel like this with my family. Like they don’t see me. My brother tries to be there for me but he’s not very emotional mature. Not to say that I am but I believe I am more than he because of where I’m at and I’ve gotten myself where I am by myself. Through my own self work that I put a lot of work into. I feel far from my family but I have love for them to some degree and I care about my you heat siblings a lot. They’re under 12 yrs and my other two siblings are over the age 16. In the oldest, 23. I’ve been reconnecting to god. My gf and I broke up to focus on ourselves, we still live together and her sister. It gets tough, thinking of being on my own again. I have been for so long but now I’m really really having to take care of myself in so many other ways like financially so I feel more bound to earthly things like jobs and people I don’t want to really be around. Overall I’m doing much better than I was a month, 2 months ago and I’m just going to keep trying to move forward despite my ideal life not being real rn. One day it’ll happen for me and I’m doing what I can to accomplish my goals and dreams, as scary as it gets.

    Someone came up to me in the mall today, talking about being a Japanese missionary collecting money for a program for learning. Obviously, this shouts "scam" to most, but I told her to walk with me out of the store we were in, and I talked with her through G-translate for a good 10 minutes. I always have a respect for people trying to get money, whether it's the work they put up to front a lie, or being out somewhere with a gimmick. To me, if you seem genuine or kind with our interaction, I'll still give you something because money doesn't mean as much to me as it does to whomever is trying to get it from me. I gave her a 20, we blessed each other, smiled and laughed while exchanging gratitude, and parted ways. And I don't feel like I really lost anything. Thank you for your message. Shanti shanti shanti.

    I Was just thinking about these sort of interactions I had in my time spent in mental hospitals & experiences with the fellow patients. we were all each stripped down to our raw, authentic, "crazy"selves. Not having to think about judgement or ulterior motives. Nobody worried about being percieved as anything other than your raw naked self. The connections made with people seemed very unique, light & playful. Like knowing that we probably will never see each other again also contributed to allowing us to show & be our true selves together. Our soul's get to touch gently & briefly In an environment that you would not expect such a thing to occur. I know that this is a rare & I find it beautiful... I've always wanted to show reverence to the type of experiences you have & the people you meet in there. So thank you for this video, I was just thinking about this & stumbled onto this video. I wanted to share my thoughts. Thank you.

    I think the performativivity and fear of social interaction because u want to be accepted is very real. I do also think conceptualising about masks is a slippery slope, it can get into projecting very quickly and assumes some sort of underlying static being which we act over whereas my position is that its mostly unconscious and cant really be seperated from our 'authentic' being in any meaningful way. I was out today and met my friend's friend his friends, they go to art school and that makes me want to be liked by them. Being nice to them and making jokes wasnt necessarily an act but it was definetly partly in service of my ego, the boundaries are very blurry but theyre good to reflect on. Thx for ur last 2 vids

    You want to work your way out of that because you were there too. It sounds like you did work your way out of that because you're not there anymore. Maybe you want to help people work their way out of that pain now that you have done that for yourself? How did you or do you work your way out of it to get to the other side? How does the average person work their way out of their pain and self rejection? Nobody wants the pain or enjoys the pain, they just don't know anything different or how to get out of what's always been and what their families created and continue to reinforce.

    I just got out of a mental hospital and I have now figured out who I am. Who I am is my taste, my morals, my obligations, my truth and my lies, my family, my cat. Who I am is the present, part of me is who I was. Part of me is who I will be. Who I am is the mistakes I make, the fucked brush stroke, the wonky harmony, the beginners luck as well as the masterful performance. I am my hair my beard I am my cock, balls and ass. I am nothing and I am GOD, WE ARE ALL GOD. But only I know this to be my truth and so authenticity is just as much a lie as the other lies we all tell ourselves. There is no authenticity except in the now, the very present moment. Authenticity is the lies you tell and the good things you do. The only thing that is authentic is the present moment, right now. The feeling of your heart bumping in your chest, everything else is an illusion and a lie and is therefore inauthentic. Memories, however authentic they feel are illusions. Video, photo, music, art, all illusion, it is the past unless performed in the now.
