Summary
The problem with the modern world is that we live in a world where everything is a joke. Everything needs to be covered in a layer of irony to keep us safe and secure in the knowledge that no one is going to take us seriously if we treat ourselves as if nothing is holy. But I can assure you that if you treat yourself as a joke to others, no one will take you seriously. And if they do, then they will not have to deal with the heat that comes with standing up for something you believe in.

Greetings. Today we will admire my new artwork.
00:00:04.000
It's a picture from a speech William held during the election campaign.
00:00:11.000
And I thought it was so epic because that is passion in its purest form.
00:00:17.000
And I thought to elaborate a bit on it so you know what is up when you see it in the background of coming videos.
00:00:24.000
And a large problem I see both for the West as a entity that is out on thin ice.
00:00:32.000
And also in terms of the well-being of many people in the modern world is the irony culture.
00:00:40.000
The lack of passion, the lack of conviction, the lack of any true guidelines in life.
00:00:48.000
So you have a lot of guys who nothing is holy for them. Everything is a joke.
00:00:53.000
They view themselves as a joke. So they have to make everything else a joke also.
00:00:58.000
And this is obviously an attitude that I absolutely encourage you to not come near.
00:01:06.000
And what we have to keep in mind here is that humor is great to have.
00:01:09.000
I have a great sense of humor as well. And I'm very humble.
00:01:13.000
If you look at my Games Kitchen videos these are more light-hearted videos.
00:01:20.000
And that is because sometimes you can be 100% serious.
00:01:27.000
And some other times it can be more light-hearted banter.
00:01:32.000
Now the problem is that a lot of guys in the modern world they see everything as a joke.
00:01:38.000
Everything needs to be covered in a layer of irony.
00:01:41.000
And what you have to keep in mind here is that that layer of irony is a shield they hide behind.
00:01:47.000
Because they are not courageous enough to have severe convictions.
00:01:50.000
They are too afraid to say, I stand 100% for this particular thing.
00:01:59.000
They don't have the guts to say, you know what, I make no apologies.
00:02:06.000
For many of these guys it's the usual excuses to not have to deal with any heat.
00:02:27.000
That's a way for them to not have to stand firm in the storm.
00:02:31.000
So if you look at this glorious photo once again.
00:02:49.000
And that's also something you need to keep in mind.
00:03:08.000
Because then they know what your true motive is.
00:03:11.000
And they can also respect someone who stands up for himself.
00:03:22.000
But also have moments where you can say that this is deadly serious.
00:03:36.000
And not take anything seriously if nothing is holy.
00:03:42.000
There are things that you are definitely encouraged to take 100% seriously.
00:03:48.000
I can assure you that you will live a more fulfilled life.
00:03:59.000
If you actually live for something higher than the next instant gratification.
00:04:13.000
And don't hide behind some sort of ironic excuse.
