John Locke wrote about parenting (among MANY other things) and remarked that children want to be treated as rational beings. A parent's stifling behavior/attitude can breed deep resentment and drive children away. Had to read a lot of his highly influential writing in college.

It's not a lie that it takes a village to raise a child. Not wanting to have a kid until you have help comes from that. But I'm sure you know the forces at play that keep the village from forming and keeping the nuclear families separated.

'you should feel lost, there's nowhere to go or to be' DAMN DAMON changed my life right there

Just saying id sign up immediately for a philosophy 101 course with Damon Dominique 😊

I feel so validated by these chats. It’s so nice to know that there are other people in the world thinking these thoughts and pondering their existence. I appreciate your “unpopular opinions” and that you are able to be balanced and thoughtful in both you delivery and thought process. All of this to say thank you for all the masterpieces you put on the internet. Sending you positive energy!

an apartment swap thing within the damon d community would be so awesome please make it happen!!

NEXT WEDNESDAY = NO VIDEO CUZ THERE AIN'T ENOUGH DAYS TO FILM + EDIT IN THIS CURRENT LOCATIONNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Thank for the head's up!

My mom had me at 25, and in encouraging me to move to Europe for my Masters, she shared a similar sentiment about wishing she’d known herself deeper before raising a kid. She was still learning and growing up herself. There’s never going to be a perfect time, but it’s ok to take some time and enjoy the privilege of some ‘selfish’ years before becoming a parent or partner (or both). At least that was her advice.

Hey Damon! I recently went to Morocco on my first solo trip and met a Canadian girl there. Funnily enough we found out that we're both big fans of your videos and everything you talk about, which lead us to philosophise about several topics concerning culture, traveling, differences between North America and Europe etc. that you also like to talk about. Thank you for always raising new questions and motivating us to think about those topics more, we could really connect through that even though we're from different cultures. I wish you the best time in Indonesia and all of your upcoming trips Damon 🤍🤍

"Wow, my friend, you've become the ultimate 'Bali Guru'! Watching your video feels like embarking on a mystical journey to the land of wisdom and tranquility. I mean, you're practically a walking, talking spiritual guidebook now! 😄 But here's the thing, Bali isn't just a place on the map anymore; it's a state of mind. You've managed to capture the essence of this enchanting island and infuse it into your advice. It's like you've sprinkled Balinese magic dust on each word, making it impossible not to be captivated by your wisdom. I can picture you sitting cross-legged on a tropical beach, surrounded by a chorus of chirping birds, as you share your life-changing insights. And I must admit, your aura is so radiant that it's reaching through the screen and transforming my day. Can you send some of that positive energy to my inbox too? 😇 Thank you for sharing your incredible journey and imparting your spiritual knowledge with the world. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to meditate and embrace my inner Bali spirit. Namaste, my friend!"

Wow. You put so much effort into this comment Ioana. So much effort asking ChatGPT this.

Your view on always having to make choices and therefore sacrifices is something I think about all the time! It was presented to me in more of a Buddhist view of always “choosing your suffering”. So yeah for example you will suffer if you choose to stay in your hometown because you’ll be thinking of all the things you could be doing otherwise. And you’ll also be suffering if you leave because you’ll miss certain things. It’s never that one suffering is objectively worse than another it’s just which YOU choose. And you (almost) always have the choice!

Heyy! I can't thank you enough for this treasure of 1 HOUR! More life lessons and philosophy! Honestly, only been able to survive work with your videos in the back ground. ❤

I love this 51 minute damon D podcast I've been gifted this wednesday

OKAY I see you FISHEYE love the warm colors

Not me crying when Damon told the story of surprising his mom by them turning a corner and she getting to see the Eiffel Tower IRL for the first time😭😭😭

hi! i studied pharmacy and work in pharmaceutical biology and i see often that people call synthetical drugs poisonous or dangerous or toxic compared to things that have biological origin - i always feel a bit iffy because this destroys the trust towards certain medication. most countries spend a long time to ensure synthetic drugs to be safe and vice versa, drugs derived from plants can still show a lot of side effects or be toxic when used in the wrong combination/for the wrong reason. most drugs have their place and reason if they are not used by business people to make money and i support the balance of both, plant-derived and synthetic drugs. now i know, the examples you used were actually good ones where shifts towards more natural remedies are useful and less invasive so i hope you don't read this as criticism. i also really enjoy your videos and all the things i learn through you! x

As an Indonesian subscriber who basically grew up watching your videos from the Shut Up and Go days and being definitively shaped by them, this makes me so happy

What I appreciate ab your videos is that you offer me a perspective that nobody around me can realistically offer me. I feel that I'm not being cheated on the truth for the sake of my feelings or for the sake of what the other person believes I want to hear when I just want an honest unfiltered experience. Thanks for using this platform to re-empower people to feel justified making a decision for their own sake, and for reaffirming that in the end it's all going to be okay if a person is willing to resolve their situation and seek personal fulfillment.

Wow, okay what a video. Literally only like 10 minutes in and I'm having mind blowing realizations. Not only do you talk about topics or share perspectives that I don't often see online, but on top of this, you have some of the most creative editing and cinematography I've ever seen! Like how is this available for free on KZread!? How do you make one of these a week!? You're so talented Damon!

The film 'her' is soooo underated! Joaquin Pheonix and Scarlet Johansen are magic together. ✨️

this chaotic energy gets me every time man ❤

Omg thank you so much for this ! That existential freedom!! Hits!!!

I absolutely love these chats! Sooo much to think about and it's the best. Thank you!

Yes. This is EXACTLY what i needed. Thank you boo!

watching this is v liberating. thank you Damon

Oh my gosh dropping so much wisdom in this one. We need more of these Damon! Love!

Loved all the wisdom in this video! Thank you Damon

i always feel so renewed when i watch these long chat videos 🦦 like my mind has been relaxed and refreshed because everything’s been scaled down and now things don’t seem as overwhelming as they do

Such a good video Damon, I loved all your thoughts and genuinely agree with so many of them

You had so many great things in this video to say I started a Damon D Quote Page in my notebook. Thanks for your wisdom.

Damon speaking facts once AGAIN!!! these videos always get me THINKINGGG

i enjoyed this video so much :) ur content has really been expanding my mind recently, thank you

I live for videos of this kind, top tier editing, content, everythiiiiiing, keep em coming Damon D :D

I love your honesty and openness to share your thoughts and opinions!

You have been feeding us!!!! Thank you for ur hard work

I know it’s like entertainment but still feels like hugely important just to sit and to listen to you! Thanks

thank you for your videos Damon ! ❤I've missed the long-style form of your youtube videos so much !!

from indiana haha and love your videos and perspective! it's been cool seeing your production and video ideas evolve over time. thank you for always being authentic.

so manny parts really resonated with me, thank you for this video!

oh my god this was so comforting and helpful. I was feeling soo depressed before this

I want to like this so many times!! 😭😭😭 your future plans are so good, we need !! ❤️❤️❤️

I adore these kind of videos. I was about to have an existential crisis this morning. This video calmed me down, made me remember what I value more. Thank you, Damon. Love from Republic of Moldova

I think you are so wise. Thank you for the video.

wow this is the video that i NEED right now! thank you! a lot of reflection and self talk happened again while watching lol

Love this style of Q&A video and love hearing your thoughts on all these topics!! Definitely want to get into traveling more and this really got me thinking about actually going for it :)

SO READY FOR THIS!!

This video felt like a warm hug, thank you for the encouragement! 💛

I love your videos so much🥰 This 51 minute video filled my cup!

I am loving your content and I relate so much with the things you're saying!

im so excited for one whole hour

u might be the realest person ever 😭✨ thank you so much the way i needed this advice!

Omg excited to see what u shoot in Asia!! The old* Thailand videos are still some of my favvv

Absolutely love your talking vídeos 🙌 golddddd

Each of your videos leaves me wanting to friends! Like I just want to sit and talk! I love hearing your perspective and just want to ask questions/challenge your thoughts/or hear stories as to why you think the way you do. I love it, it’s so interesting and you’re freaking hilarious, I wanna hang out 😂

really enjoyed this video and you really got me thinking and reframing some things I needed! it's always great getting to hear your thought processes on different topics, I think it's also because you bring such a storytelling element to it even if it was in a Q&A style. thanks always for being so open and sharing your perspective :)

oh wow there is so much wisdom in this video that my mouth could not have had the ability to explain -sending this video to everyone

Love the B-Rolls, love your genuine take on all of these important questions. As a german who moved to Sweden I can relate to sm of this.. And I‘m so looking forward to your french course!! Thank you

‘Wrap up this season and move on to the next thing’ woahhhh

You are my favourite internet person ever! BIG LOVE to my source of inspiration for life! No money to take therapy but I have your video and book to help me understand myself better 😎✨

This was amazing 💓 truly thank you for your perspective on these topics ! I loved your take on how we are free to make choices and it’s something we should see as a power and not as a chore which is so hard for me to perceive that way. I am a French 23 year old and I’ve never been so lost in the trajectory I want for my life right now, as you said there are a lot of choices and a free access to too many people to compare our lives with which could be both a blessing and a curse. I’ll try to see it more as a blessing from now on.

I truly feel like I learn something from each one of your videos Damon, keep up the art and philosophy we love it here !!!✨ Also, the apartment swap system would be a LIFE SAVER

jesus dude your videos are phenomenal, and your pov is so amazing, i learn so much from you because you articulate your point perfectly and everything you say is SO SPOT ON and i can tell you got to those conclusions through experience and your own research which i adddddoooreeeee. xoxoxoxoxo

I am proud of you for always following what feels right for you. I want you to know that, even though it doesn’t seem like it at times, we can see you for who you are and who you have become. But we are not just here because we are “fans”. We are here because sometimes the most love you can give someone is a keyboard away, but it is love meant to be shared anyways. Remember that the most you can do is believe in you❤

Damon I love your outlook on life and your perspective about these topics. I miss your red wine talks, you need to make a podcast because i could listen to you talk about life all day long!!

Damn as an Indonesian I'm so mad I'm not in Indonesia or in Bali rn 😅😢 like.. Damon!! I'm SO devastated!! I wanna meet you so bad 😂 BIG BIG FAN HERE !!🤍!! p.s. thanks for liking my comment on the last video 😅

Damon you are such a big inspiration to me. In this video you said a lot of things I needed to hear yet enough things that make me feel better about my circumstances. I’m turning 25 in a little less than a week and recently I broke down crying seeing people in my life and on the internet having giant life mile stones in my age group or those I grew up with. Downplaying the 180° I made on my life the past two years (graduating college, finally getting health insurance lol, solo traveling in America, having a full time job and being promoted) bc comparison is a silent killer. I never understood ppl who saw others successes as their own LOSSES but it came to that for me that night and I hated it. Your words always motivate me and i think it affected me more so in this video bc I came to realize or maybe just only came to terms to admit that after my big changes I got comfy and stood stagnant. I purchased your book a month ago and also you inspired me to finally apply for a passport which I did right after I bought the book too. Once I have it I plan to apply for cruise ship jobs and au paire work so I can see the world while being paid to do it! I was so comfortable being alone on my US solo trips I need to get a worldly view of life. Love you lots sorry this is so mouthy. Always look forward to the next blog!!❤️❤️

I lovvveee the longer videos! Would you ever start a podcast of just your thoughts on life and philosophy and experiences? I would tune in for sure! Love always! xx

ouhhh a podcast would be amazing!!!!

This was just so great. Do more pf it please.

this video came exactly at the right tiiime!!! i have been sooo worried about the future lately and about finding a job etc so hearing you talk about how the future doesn’t exist (which is so true??) calmed my silly ass brain so much. i swear you are my big libra brother, love ya🧡

this video is next level. you are a true inspiration, an embodiment of thing I want to become. 'the future will come as the present moment' beautifully worded a thought I've been having/trying to express for awhile now!!!

Notification squad here!! So thrilled to see regular uploads from you! You’re my source of inspiration when it comes to going out there and living life to the fullest!❤❤

Damon! You are just so cool and also come off as so approachable. I have been watching your stuff for years now and I just love your uniqueness! I shouldn't say but.. Netflix doesn't deserve you. You are very intelligent, niche, and curious about the world in a refreshing way. Keep going babyyyyy!! 💖

Damonnn, I didn't know how much I needed this video today. It was like a therapy session. And so glad you're getting into natural treatments! It's amazing.

Hey Damon, just validating that yes your ideas are fire! I remember growing up, my grandparents (in New Zealand) used to house-swap almost every year with a few different couples from the US for a month or two at a time. So I've always grown up with this being a bit of a dream. They met the old way through skiing at small club fields and making friends, as that was their 'community'. You have a really special community here that you could harness to do the same thing.

Yesss Damon Singapore is awesome!!! $$$ but lots of things to explore. Love the Q&A!

YEY!!! Love this vid. Please make more QnA's💖💖

TE AMO!! Literally i feel so connected with your thoughts haha❤ in real life we would be bestiessssss

Yasssss those courses!

I loved this video!! It was so interesting to get your insight on all these topics, plus you bring a smile on my face each time. I just wanted to add on the eco-friendly part, where you say that people shouldn't take it out on other people but on the industries; I somewhat agree, the industry influence us to consume a certain way. However you, as an individual, and a group made of individuals, (and I do travel and take planes, so it's not for this particular exemple but in general) have a lot of power, it's truly the "you" that forges the industry. Without us the industry would be none existent. If habits of consumption were to change, it will influence the industry. Of course the bigger the group with changed habits of consumption is, the bigger the shift will be in the industry. Keep up the good work!!

Thumbs way up for Bali (and India Arie). Love visiting that country and, yes, I am feeling a bit smug now that I've learned this makes me more enlightened than everyone else. Of course it does. 😎

I know I’m late on this but.. wow excellent topic. Enjoyed and engaged every second of it. I needed this conversation. Love this series! Thanks Damon ❤.

I just love that we are living in this same timeline 💕😇

Its a great question to ask yourself why are you de the one to answer this questions, but in reality you are the perfect one and the answers helps a lot! You have a big spectrum of knowledge and philosophy its key, thank you so much!

why can't I just enjoy life, without asking all these deep questions !? LIVE LOVE.

I really liked your answer to dealing with homesickness. I moved to NYC from a place small like Indiana. Came back after 8 months to visit and it was so weird to me. Nothing had changed and I felt like I grew out of my friends and my old lifestyle.

I went back to watching Damon’s videos and I forgot how these Q&A’s are hilarious! …and philosophical 🧐

sign me up for that travel course!!! I've only recently started traveling, so I feel so lost in airports and TSA is hella scary and never sure what credit card is best, do I want lounge access, how to travel the cheapest, but also conveniently. Lots of thought starters in these vid! Now you got me re-evaluating my entire prerspective

Yes for the travel courses! I would absolutely buy it from you.

Damonnn!!! Thanks for answering my question(05:30)! And you are right it is so easy to compare ourselves these days and look at other people and think oh they have it all figured out and I don't and I feel lost. When in reality probably I could seems like that for other people and them not knowing how lost I actually am. Anyways you are right on the topic of having so many options that it's hard to pick one and therfore the struggle is bigger. I just need to find my own path which will take some time but I know I will have it figured out eventually.

yes yes yesss!! pls make a course talking abt all the adult things to know when traveling. I turn 18 soon & I would pay anything to receive knowledge from someone that is doing what a i desire!

this was so fun and educational

I was actually doing your book while watching this video!

whoa! thankyou to ur mom for the persoective about failure and u for saying that most of us probably feel lost (except the ignorance is bliss camp😂) also: "the future will exist as the present moment"!!! and parameters!!! preach mawma about "society did that!"🌈 and finally, love that someone asked u about being more eco and u kinda slayed that. yes, we should be mad at industry more. but i couldn't help but feel a little mad that a lot of people travel but don't learn shit, unlike u who provide much needed insights merci!

Commenting for the first time because I'm so excited that you could be coming to Singapore, which is where I'm from! It's a city of dualities where you can have great fun by spending a ton of money, and also be able to do and stuff you can't find anywhere else at a pretty affordable price. Our govt loves to market the country as an expensive futuristic pseudo-utopia but its so much more than that, I promise. But as always, loving the excellent content you always put out

this video really helped me thanks a lot it means so much

I love this video sm

I am a big fan, like your videos and your thoughts, damn interesting

Damon you actually ate, chewed and gobbled!🤩

Great great questions in this video

te quiero mucho Damon, gracias por existir y por darme crisis existenciales y después resolvérmelas. Besos!

Omg yes come to Singapore!! We have really good food here and a good nightlife scene✨
