I really loved Yugopnik’s parting words in the video: “While ignorance might be bliss, bliss doesn’t get anything done”. I’ll remember to use it the next time someone tells me, or if I hear someone say “Ignorance is Bliss”. I used to be friends with someone that kept reiterating this nonsensical, centrist quote.
I was going to put another quote about Ignorance not being bliss here… but then I noticed he’s an “entrepreneur”, a motivational speaker. 🤢🤢🤢
As always, vids from the deprogram trio continue to make me intrigued and open my eyes on things. Makes me feel like I’ve learned new things. Like Hakim’s recent video about the fall of USSR. I always wondered why it really happened, as libs would usually say it’s because “socialism doesn’t work el oh el”.

You should still do recreational activities and entertainment.
Yeah, burning out doesn’t get anything done either
Good point.
I really like those words too… all the time I see people being in denial about something and because of this, nothing gets done, there’s no progress being made, people are not fixing problems, not doing anything about them. To me it’s so frustrating… I see the problem, I see what could be done to fix it, but nothing changes because people can’t even do the first step, which is just acknowledging the problem.
It’s even debatable whether ignorance really is bliss. In the moment it is, but in the long-term it’s actually more painful. If a problem is not being taken care of, it either remains or becomes an even bigger problem (as in what’s going on with the environment).
