Another quote from him that i think suits this interview well is "The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time. " Asmond seems to believe this, but then because of it he concludes "damn, i must not be living fully!" and it's giving him stress.

I have spend the past 25 yrs with the mindset of trying everything atleast once. I basicly wan't to taste everything life has to offer that I am curious about before it is over. I love music and being social and laughing with friends and also strangers so I was instantly attracted to music festivals. I have been to dozens of weeklong festivals and seen hundreds and hundreds of concerts. All in som varying degree of intoxication and euphoria. There is SO much I don't remember, but also SO much I do... Some things I know I have done, but I won't remember when or where. Other things I remember when and where but not with who or how I got there. Some thing are decades old but clear as yesterday and other things I only remember when someone I barely remember tells about me doing it. Life and memory is random. But it is being kept alive by remembering and talking about the experiences with friends and strangers. I allways tell stories of where I've been, what I've tried or seen or learned. Iand I love hereing stories from others because it reminds me of similar experiences of my own. Thats my BrainVlog. -Because I am too caught up in the moment to remember being my own cameraman...

I absolutely love Dr. K saying “laziness is not a thing.” I think laziness and being lazy is a good label to motivate and maybe necessarily shame into action, but so many lazy people are fearful or just intelligent. There’s a lot of work to do in the world at any given moment. If you get everything done perfectly without any shortcuts, you’re a damn genius. I think either you’re a genius, without any unprocessed trauma, or some kind of robot program. Procrastinating is debilitating fear and lack of self respect, it’s some way of cutting your wings to prevent what potentially could be some beautiful, capable flight.

This interview highlights exactly what makes Asmon so likeable. He's an amalgamation of all of us.

i also had a tremendous fear of losing memories when i was youngerm then i spent a month documenting as many memories as i could and i realized it was way too time consuming, and was preventing me from being in the present. i am now ok with forgetting things and im trying to live in the present

Simply amazing! I love the thought process and communication and clarity.

This has to be one of the most productive videos I have seen 2021. Thank you so much for you knowledge.

This conversation was amazing imo. I wish more philosophical discussions were like it.

I feel like Dr.K and Asmongold have the potential to come together to make the most impressive podcasts for the gaming community. Both of their intellects really shine through in this interview and it was both a pleasure and an enlightening listening experience!

Fantastic and insightful conversation. TY both

I love that not only do you learn about your favorite streamers' mind and mentality. You also learn a lot about yourself and acknowledge your weaknesses and the way your own mind works separately from your personal thoughts.

@@psd90 The way I see it, there is the way you think, and the way you think you think. The more in tune you are with the reality of your way of thinking (let's use the video terminology, the roots of the problems) the more you can consciously be aware of the way you function. The more aware you are in the way you function allows you to take actions on the branches or even the roots and work towards being the desired you. For example, I feel really in tune with Asmon with the way that laziness gives way to efficiency and a lack of future thinking. So, I am PERFECTLY happy just eating pasta and red sauce everyday for the rest of my life. I don't really have this need that people have to eat healthy or just good food when I can be "lazy", eat whatever and not spend an hour of my day cooking/eating and play vidyas or read or whatever. So, being aware of this (and due to a roommate that believes that living like this is a travesty) I had a "moment of enlightenment", watched a bunch of youtube cooking videos like Internet Shaquile, Babish, and random shit and now I try to make simple but tasty meals. I get a sense of satisfaction of making something good, of having my roommate try something of mine, getting feedback, sharing a meal, inviting people to eat, etc. This has given me constant positive feelings and improved my life. Now I'm working on another branch which is making healthier food, to eventually make some changes in the root problem of my life which would be laziness and procrastination as conformism. In short, you can't force yourself to a moment of enlightenment. But you can alter a little tiny bit the way you think, to foster their occurrence more. AND then making sure you don't use them as an excuse for reverting back those changes (I'm cooking better know, today I just wanna eat whatever, and the next day as well, and the next next next) All of this takes conscious effort, and that's why I like the meditation technique Dr. K gave Asmon. To stop once in a while and reevaluate. This is the end of my TED talk, have a nice day. I'mma make some vegetarian burritos.

@@Jonsoner ah lol. well I must say that the speech was fascinating and a look into what I said or a..interpretation might I say, which is kinda accurate of my belief in how the mind works. but what I meant is that that you wouldn't necessarily get frightened by a lion for example if you think that you're not and you believe it to be true. but the mind thinks otherwise once you experience being in front of a lion so... in a sense you can make yourself look delusional by thinking over your personal thoughts when in reality the mind functions on it's own taking what it knows from your experiences with certain things deciding what your natural thoughts will be. A homophobic person doesn't necessarily hate gay men because he thinks it is weird, sometimes his mindset is naturally that way. So you could sit in your room thinking that you know yourself well but then when you're watching a dr. K video with another streamer talking about mental issues you might relate to or mental issues in general you get a stronger connection with your automatically thinking and organizing mind because you start changing they way you think personally and seeing what you thought was non existent inside you. sorry if I used a lot of words over and over again, my vocabulary isn't of the finest.

super nice conversation.. thank you guys

1:54:16 Idk why but at the moment you're both closing your eyes I felt some inner peace that revealed me why I can't get shit done. Thank you very much for this video, I tried to answer all the questions before asmon while pausing the video and I did my own drawing about + and - around my own lazyness. That really gives me as you said "the road map" and there's no words to thank you enough, you helped me to save myself, I'll never forget about the two of you

This was one of the best Dr. K interviews for me.

As soon as he went with Zach instead of Asmongold I knew this was going to be good

This was incredible, thank you both

Amazing stream/video, probably the best thing I've watched in years. In Dutch we have a different word for existential and emotional happiness, 'gelukkig' and 'blij' respectively. Wish there were words for that in English because they are really different, as proven in this stream.

Ive got a large difference between performal and verbal iq, verbal being higher. This results in the thoughts you have being too complex to be able to figure them out as quickly as you would if your performal iq would be the same. Coincidentally enough, i have pretty much the same day to day and long term struggles he's having. Even the dynamic between him and his friends.

Zack actually comes across as one of the nicest most selfless guys in the gaming community. Top dude!

Thanks to both of you, I'm in a similar situation as Sack, I needed this.

Adj Bea Arriving at that conclusion is quite lazy and an overly simplified generalization. There are religious people who are close minded but there are close minded non-theists as well who are the inversed equivalent of their theist counterparts. You can’t judge an entire religion or group of people based on the radicals within said group. That’s like saying “black people are more inherently violent and genetically predisposed to committing crime. It’s frequently exhibited so I can conclude that they are more dangerous”. It’s incredibly ignorant to arrive at such short sighted conclusions like this without considering the external factors that contextualize the causation of said behaviour. Poverty, Economic, Social and political environments, lack of education or proper leadership, lack of health resources and support are the reason people are violent, not the colour of their skin or their religious beliefs. People who have experienced trauma or mental illness are far more susceptible to manipulation tactics and becoming the victim of cults or other predatory groups of people. Religion can be used for good or nefarious means, it really just depends how these people were indoctrinated growing up. It’s important to understand the good that has come from religion and how it’s helped people find the hope and reason to persist through life. It’s also equally important to recognize the flaws, primitive nature and atrocities that have been committed in the name of it. Recognize that religion doesn’t inherently create bad people, bad people just tend to use religion as an easy shield to justify their immoral behaviour. More often than not, these radicals are the very antithesis of the actual teachings and ideology that hail from the religious doctrine they claim to believe and live their lives in the name of.

Listening to streams like this is therapeutic in and of itself. Great work, guys. I'm hooked on this channel - I can listen to this stuff all day long.

It feels like there is a resentment for those who are content / can contend with the banality of life also, that's tough too.

Sometimes it was just soul crushing for me when I heard from my parents how other parents viewed them and talked behind their backs about them, when I couldn't take the school trip, or we financially struggled after paying for a school trip. And then hearing other parents say that my parents were just being irresponsible with money or downright stupid while I was there watching my parents giving their all to give me a better shot at life just made me angry af.
