Q & A

Quel est le sujet principal abordé dans le script vidéo?

Le sujet principal est la critique de la façon dont le stoïcisme est présenté et exploité dans des vidéos YouTube, en particulier par des chaînes sans visage (faceless channels) qui utilisent des scripts générés par AI.

Pourquoi les chaînes sans visage sont-elles populaires?

Elles sont populaires car elles sont faciles à produire avec peu d'effort, utilisant des scripts, des images et des titres générés par AI, et elles exploitent des niches populaires telles que le stoïcisme.

Quel est l'argument principal du script contre l'utilisation du stoïcisme dans les vidéos sans visage?

L'argument principal est que cette utilisation du stoïcisme sert de 'cope' ou de justification pour ne pas agir, plutôt que de promouvoir une véritable compréhension et application de la philosophie stoïcienne.

Quelle est la position du script sur la popularité du stoïcisme en 2024?

Le script suggère que le stoïcisme est devenu une tendance en 2024, en particulier en raison de son caractère de 'cope' pour ceux qui se sentent impuissants face à leur situation.

Quels sont les éléments caractéristiques des chaînes sans visage mentionnées dans le script?

Les éléments caractéristiques incluent l'utilisation d'images de statues anciennes, de titres accrocheurs, et des messages qui simplifient ou déforment le stoïcisme pour attirer des vues et des abonnés.

Quel est le lien entre le stoïcisme et les situations de crise, selon le script?

Selon le script, le stoïcisme est plus populaire pendant les périodes de crise ou d'instabilité, car il offre un sentiment de contrôle interne aux individus qui se sentent autrement impuissants.

🎥 Critique des chaînes YouTube 'stoïciennes' sans visage

Le texte décrit une critique des chaînes YouTube qui exploitent le thème de l'stoïcisme pour attirer des vues, souvent en utilisant des images générées par AI et des scripts écrits par des algorithmes. L'auteur suggère que ces chaînes simplifient l'stoïcisme en le présentant comme une 'jeu' pour attirer les femmes, ce qui est loin de la véritable philosophie stoïcienne. Il mentionne également des titres de vidéos qui promettent des conseils sur la richesse, la force intérieure et la manière de gérer les relations personnelles avec l'stoïcisme, tout en soulignant l'absurdité de certaines de ces promesses.

05:01

🤖 L'exploitation de l'stoïcisme dans les chaînes YouTube automatisées

Le paragraphe détaille le processus de création de ces chaînes YouTube 'faceless', où des scripts sont générés par des IA, lu par des systèmes de synthèse vocale et accompagnés d'images d'anciens statues, souvent associées à des promesses de transformation de vie rapide. L'auteur critique l'idée que l'stoïcisme est utilisé comme une 'band-aid' pour les hommes qui se sentent impuissants, plutôt que comme une philosophie à long terme pour gérer les émotions et les circonstances de la vie.

10:02

🏋️‍♂️ L'stoïcisme comme un mécanisme de coping pour l'inaction

Dans ce paragraphe, l'auteur discute de l'interprétation moderne de l'stoïcisme, qui est perçu comme un excuse pour ne pas agir face aux défis de la vie. Il est question de la popularité de l'stoïcisme dans les périodes de troubles sociaux, et comment il est utilisé comme une forme de 'coping' pour se sentir mieux en rejetant la responsabilité d'agir. L'auteur souligne que cette approche est en contradiction avec l'idée de poursuivre l'excellence et de prendre des mesures actives pour améliorer sa situation.

15:04

🚫 L'stoïcisme dévoyé et ses implications sur les relations humaines

Le texte aborde comment l'interprétation moderne de l'stoïcisme peut conduire à des comportements de 'rage quit' plutôt qu'à une véritable maîtrise de soi. Il est question de la fausse idée que l'on peut devenir plus attractif en rejetant complètement les interactions sociales et en se concentrant sur une imagerie de force et de silence. L'auteur argumente que cette approche est non seulement inefficace pour les relations personnelles, mais aussi potentiellement nuisible pour le développement personnel.

🔍 Analyse des motivations derrière la popularité de l'stoïcisme en ligne

Dans ce paragraphe, l'auteur explore les raisons pour lesquelles l'stoïcisme est devenu un sujet populaire dans les vidéos YouTube et les réseaux sociaux. Il suggère que cela reflète une tendance à chercher des solutions rapides et faciles pour les problèmes complexes de la vie, plutôt que de s'engager dans une compréhension et une pratique authentiques de la philosophie stoïcienne. L'auteur critique également les méthodes utilisées pour créer ces chaînes, qui consistent à exploiter les tendances et les niches populaires sans offrir de véritable valeur éducative ou philosophique.

Keywords

💡Stoïcisme

Le stoïcisme est une école de pensée philosophique qui a émergé à Athènes au IIIe siècle avant J.-C., promouvant l'autodiscipline, l'apathie et la maîtrise de soi. Dans le script, il est utilisé comme un moyen de faire face à l'adversité et de maintenir le contrôle sur ses émotions, illustré par l'exemple de Marcus Aurelius et la manière dont il est utilisé dans des contextes modernes pour gérer les relations et l'auto-amélioration.

💡Autodiscipline

L'autodiscipline fait référ à la capacité de réguler et de contrôler ses propres comportements, émotions et pensées. Dans le script, l'autodiscipline est critiquée comme étant un attribut trompeur qui ne garantit pas l'attrait ou le succès, mais plutôt comme un outil de gestion personnelle qui peut être exploité dans des contextes de séduction et de développement personnel.

💡Cope

Un 'cope' fait référence à un mécanisme de survie ou à une stratégie utilisée pour gérer des situations difficiles ou des émotions négatives. Dans le script, le stoïcisme est présenté comme une forme de 'cope' pour ceux qui se sentent impuissants ou enchevêtrés dans des situations sans issue.

💡Faceless Channels

Les 'faceless channels' sont des chaînes YouTube qui utilisent des voix générées par ordinateur et des images sans figures humaines pour produire du contenu. Elles sont mentionnées dans le script comme un moyen d'exploiter la popularité du stoïcisme avec des vidéos faciles à produire et sans effort humain direct.

💡AI Généré

Le terme 'AI généré' se réfère à du contenu créé ou modifié par une intelligence artificielle. Dans le script, il est utilisé pour décrire comment les chaînes YouTube sur le stoïcisme sont produites avec des scripts, des images et des voix générées par AI, reflétant une tendance à la fois efficace et impersonnelle.

💡Rage Quit

Le 'rage quit' désigne l'acte de quitter une situation ou un jeu en colère ou en désespoir. Dans le script, il est utilisé pour comparer la réaction de 'rage quit' à l'idée de 'walk away' dans le contexte du stoïcisme, suggérant que les deux sont des façons de se retirer d'une situation, mais avec des motivations et des implications émotionnelles différentes.

💡Walk Away

Le 'walk away' est une stratégie de retrait d'une situation sans violence ni regret, souvent utilisée dans le contexte de la séduction et des relations. Dans le script, il est discuté comme une forme de stoïcisme, où l'on se retire d'une situation sans être affecté par les conséquences émotionnelles.

💡Chase Excellence

La phrase 'Chase Excellence' est un appel à poursuivre l'excellence dans tous les aspects de la vie. Dans le script, il est utilisé de manière critique pour décrire une approche qui, selon l'orateur, peut conduire à la frustration et à l'inaction, au lieu de promouvoir une attitude proactive et engagée.

💡Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius était un empereur romain et philosophe stoïcien connu pour ses écrits sur la sagesse et la vertu. Dans le script, il est mentionné comme un symbole du stoïcisme et comme référence pour les conseils modernes sur la vie et les relations, parfois de manière anachronique ou inappropriée.

💡Rob Henderson

Rob Henderson est mentionné dans le script comme une référence à une perspective différente sur le stoïcisme et son utilisation dans les temps durs. Son travail pourrait souligner comment les philosophies anciennes sont réinterprétées et adaptées aux défis contemporains.

of uh to sort of get into today's topic

was I looked up

stoicism on YouTube and I want to show

you guys a few things here now this is

where people are like I think a lot of

people like when we were talking about

uh how uh what is it self self-control

or self-discipline is sexy no no it's

not and I'm going to show you just how

not it is here in just a second um now

again does that mean you shouldn't be

self no you should be self-disciplined

there's the there's and not by the way

there's a pragmatic reason to be

self-disciplined because I am being

critical of it right now does not mean I

am endorsing you just go [ __ ] you

B train your mind to respond not to

react do this instead do what Marcus

aurelus okay the daily stoic that's

another one we haven't come up on avoid

this mistake what mistake tell me quick

explained again all of this stuff be

mentally tough there's the ones that are

my favorite is just walk away 12 habits

that make you silently

attractive stop telling what's going on

in your life don't

complain zip your

mouth poor Marcus Marcus aurelus has

tape over his mouth I Define what is

within my power and focus there okay you

get the idea these are

faceless um YouTube channels and they're

on the last two years and yeah exact

well some of them within this year the

one that I was looking I think it's a

stoic Journal started in January of this

year they are at

990,000 [ __ ] subs and every every

video is like it here's here's how it

follows okay if this is this is the

process because you can find the process

for doing faceless just look it up go

Google faceless uh uh YouTube channels

okay the process is this is you get uh

you get a uh copy copy copy AI or chat

GPT to write you a script of stoicism I

want to uh chat GPT write me me a a uh I

don't know a paper on stoicism in the

terms of like what to do with girls

right and so it'll it will write this

whole thing out for you okay now turn it

into a script turns into a script for

you now read it and then it will come

back give you the audio from text to

speech and it will sound like it usually

sounds like this you should not do

anything you should just do not Chase do

not touch do not think stop touching

your dick uh you know go and and and

work out every day like it's not bad

advice but it's

like it's a no-brainer right and by the

way there's the reason why there's so

many of these is because YouTube cracks

down on the on like faceless channels

now um that's why there's an option that

says you have to you have to let people

know that it's AI generated in the

beginning um but so then it writes you

the script it reads you the script and

then you go okay I'm going to go to Mid

Journey I'm going to go to uh photo or

whatever it is and I'm going to generate

these images okay give me a some stoic

images of Marcus

and make it make it look like he benches

like 400 you know he's in the bench 400

club and then it generates those those

that cookie cutter look of of of

Statuary stoicism right and then it then

what all you got to do is take that turn

it into a vid take the images turn them

into like slowmo videos have the script

being read as the audio and really the

only thing you're doing that isn't

automated in fact it probably is

automated is uh matching the audio to

the video throw it in there turn it into

a video put it up it's minimal effort

and it's but the thing is my my my

criticism isn't the material and my

criticism isn't the ease with which it's

produced I mean hell you know you

figured out a hack to make some money

okay great these guys aren't on a DHS

watch list I am but they're they're not

Marcus aurelus isn't

um so you must be doing something right

they're probably making a good chunk of

change because they got a lot of people

who are now can you buy followers yes

you can can you buy views yes you can

but I think the thing is is like there's

so many of these and they're so easy to

produce and it is so and they're so

popular right now and there's a reason

why it's popular because stoicism is a

cope okay stoicism or what we think of

as stoicism stoicism in the 21st century

in 2024 is a [ __ ] cope right now okay

so when it's like walk away or ra walk

away or rage quit what's the difference

between walk away and rage quit right

walk I'm gonna walk away like a stoic

right or you're going to or you're going

to be like those guys in that video I'm

going to rage quit right like it's it's

all about the it's basically it's the

energy right but the effect is the same

you're walking away you're not doing

anything it's honestly I think the

stoicism sort of the reason why these

are popular videos right now is because

like these guys need that reminder they

want to know that they're doing the

right thing well I'm a stoic and I don't

let things get to me like that no it's

cope is what it is and I uh there's a it

Rob Henderson was uh qu I forget the

book he was quoting but stoicism becomes

more popular in times of like unrest

when people feel like they can't do

anything about their position when

people feel like they're trapped when

people are slaves when people are uh and

and not just men but but women as well

but in in the case of stoicism it sounds

more like masculine virtue well it's

easier not to do something than it is to

do something and that's it's basically

proving a negative I I brought up the

same fact when the mgtows were a big

deal I'm I'm sure mgtows just like

stroke off to this stuff constantly

because you don't have to do anything

and you're a winner for not doing

anything so you're proving you don't

have to prove the negative you just have

to you've just got the positive right so

what you have to do is I'm gonna win by

not doing anything I'm just GNA be stoic

I'm not gonna let this affect me I'm

just gonna move on blah blah blah right

or like I'll hear Rich Cooper who I I

don't know if he likes me or hates me

right now but like uh one of the things

that rich always talks about is um Chase

Excellence like no chase everything you

know I hate that I hate even the word

Chase because you'll see that in those

in a lot of these stoic videos don't

chase this don't chase that don't chase

and it seems like it's like you're a kid

on the [ __ ] playground in grammar

school and you're chasing after the

girls with the with their you know pull

their ponytails you're that you're just

chasing and chasing he's [ __ ] chasing

man it's like what do you want to [ __ ]

or not do you want to succeed or not do

you want a [ __ ] do you want a seven

figure income or not do you want to be

in better like look like [ __ ] Marcus

aurelus and get in the [ __ ] gym do

you want that or not because all of that

requires action and it requires effort

you've got to go and [ __ ] do [ __ ] you

want to get laid you got to do [ __ ] you

want to be in better shape go do [ __ ]

Lord knows I understand that and you

want to make money you have to do [ __ ]

you have to activate you have to be

[ __ ] motivated to do stuff so when I

see these messages about like stoicism

and this it's it falls flat with me and

not because I don't think stoicism isn't

a great concept or great philosophy it's

that the way that we're doing it

now it's meant to sort of like be this

salv for this burned

ego and I don't think that that's a

healthy place to be and the reason why

I'm sort of drawing attention to this is

because there's so many of these I'm

looking at one now 12 habits that make

instant fix fix my life

please stoicism is just like this yeah

it's like and I'm I'm not saying the

actual authentic stoicism as the

philosophy I'm just saying baiting

people into this faceless easy to

produce material okay so when I look at

the people say oh Chase Excellence chase

this don't chase that like stay sexually

basically what that says to me is like

stay sexually frustrated because it's

morally right to stay sexually

frustrated and that goes back once again

to the whole sneo and and and jeda thing

about self-discipline being [ __ ] sexy

it's not I'm here's how you be sexy by

being silent and not doing anything and

saying nothing and then women will go H

he looks like an enigma wrapped in a

mystery I've got to know this what

wonderful stoic man because clearly he's

got pecs the size of [ __ ] Texas and

he's got Cates and he's got [ __ ] a

12pack

ABS but it's his stoicism and his

self-discipline that's really really

[ __ ] turning me on right now

right self-discipline is anti- seductive

women want to break rules for Alas and

they want to make rules for Betas you

wouldn't need to be stoic if you were a

guy who [ __ ] period so the real really

kind of comes down to um fake it till

you make it versus being the real deal

and I think a lot of guys get a little

too wrapped up in uh the idea of

stoicism as being sort of this Cur all

and I was gonna say the you know the

last part of this is when I was talking

about Rob Henderson I forget the name of

the book too I've got it like I've got

it on my my bookmarks on Twitter but

um the idea of stoicism in Hard Times by

the way like whenever there's a war like

World War I stoicism was huge it was a

great it like it was was the The Rave

going on right then World War II

stoicism big deal people wanted to be

sto like whenever whenever there is

civil unrest whenever there's social

unrest stoicism seems to be a big deal

because what it is is it's sort of this

expression of guys whose lives are

beyond their control but it doesn't

matter because I'm just going to like I

I get to choose how I feel about things

and I'm not saying that that's a bad

thing I'm just saying it's motivated by

your conditions and by your environment

that's why these videos these faceless

easyto produce videos are probably I

would I would argue probably a little

bit more manipulative than anything else

I've been noticing lately

because was it is there one called what

unmasking is it is it on a daily stoic

or what is it on no no I was saying for

Rob Henderson's book uh it might be are

you looking it up yeah yeah I I I I

don't have it in my bookmarks right now

or I don't I have it in my bookmarks but

I don't want to like leave the show to

go get it

um if these happen if if these happens

literally it says if these happens cut

all

contact and I wanted to point out here

also that the this whole thing about

being stoic and cutting all contact

that's not [ __ ] stoicism that's

[ __ ] Rage Quit is what that is

because you're still going to have to

deal with people and if you've read the

48 Laws of Power I want to say it's like

law number 20 or

19 and it's don't build fortresses

around yourself and that's really what I

think a lot of people do with the with

this easy like easily digestible fast

food version of stoicism is they build

they build fortresses around themselves

and you are it seems like it's safe but

you are cut off from everything else

and you need to be you need to be out

there you need to be in the in the

population you need to be socializing

you need to be doing things so honestly

I it see the reason why I say modern

well our modern concept of stoicism is a

cope is because first of all it

justifies not doing

anything it makes guys feel better about

themselves because it's almost like an

ego boost because I don't do I don't

have to do any of this stuff I'm the one

who decides what my emotions are it's

pure rational reasonable Rolo should

Rolo should love he's the rational male

he should love stoicism and I in its

traditional classic format yes it's very

I think very pragmatic okay very

efficient very pragmatic got it but

that's not what we're talking about

right here what passes for this stoicism

is not stoicism it's a cope it's to it's

a you should feel proud about not being

like those other people because they're

chasing yeah well they're also getting

too so

um we got

here thing is Boomers invented all the

technology that subsequent Generations

used to vilify Boomers go figure Boomers

did not well I don't know I guess

technically Steve Jobs but Steve Job

Steve Jobs just had Steve Jobs was like

a boomer but he was an ideas guy I

sincerely doubt he's the one that made

most of the technology happen but he

tapped the right people to make it

happen so he might have you might have a

point there put us the debt hey boom

Boomers put us on the

moon for real actually it wouldn't be

that no no no no no no no we did go to

the Moon sorry not

sorry and the world is round there's no

firmament none of this [ __ ] it's

it's it's round like your head not flat

like your

head uh if so oh so I dye my skin gray

grow a beard and have a s turn look and

pretend to not have emotions do I get to

be a gigachad too yes according to

faceless AI uh stoicism channels yes you

do uh Hey Rolo there is an update on

Andrew hubman oh there is uh he recently

addressed this issue uh the unknown

author who wrote a hit piece against him

is under doj invest really Department of

Justice investigation he was laughing

all the way with Chad Riz that and

remember that was that author from the

was the Atlantic wasn't it some chick

Department of Justice is investigating

her

W I have to look that up now somebody uh

Sammy find me that story find me the H

the hu the huberman find me the

huberman what is Jim Kilgore doing

here why can I not get Jim all right um

okay and what was this Rolo I find it

interesting that you criticize these

videos by reading the titles well

simultaneously criticizing the people

when they judge you without reading your

books okay well the thing is I have

looked at these I wouldn't know what

they're about if or I wouldn't know what

they're about if I didn't already know

the protocol for how and I understand

it's valid criticism got you um but I

have watched these I don't I mean we

would you like to watch would you like

to go through these I'm not saying what

they're saying is necessarily bad I'm

saying the motivation and the intent and

the prompt to to to make these things

popular and again as I said there's the

reason reason why this is such a a

reason I'm even bringing this up is

because there's so many of these things

it's playing to some sort of neurosis

it's playing to some sort of need on the

part of these guys who need some sort

and I'm not even necessarily saying it's

a bad thing I'm just saying that there's

there's the potential for these guys to

think that this is like walk away that's

that's stoicism no it's not actually

so uh where did they go stoic Journal

let me read the rest of these stop being

kind that's in that's stoicism

apparently nine situations you must zip

your lip I'm pretty sure Marcus orelis

never said zip your lip um nine rules

for a better life that sounds a lot like

[ __ ] Jordan Peterson never be

manipulated again crucial tactics of

heavy manipulation you need to know okay

sounds like sounds good well there's

only 42,000 views for that one sorry uh

I'm trying to look at the more popular

ones here but you get the point uh and

and more to your point um the reason why

I even know about these is because I was

looking at uh just at the same time I

was looking at how these guys were

creating uh like they would there's

there are actually YouTube channels that

are dedicated to helping you find a

niche and exploit the niche and then

once you found the niche that is popular

and that is trending then you create a

channel that exploits and place to that

Niche with an AI generated script with

AI generated thumbnails with AI

generated video and AI generated uh uh

titles and and everything else that goes

along with that right so at the same

time I'm watching these videos showing

you how to go about you know basically

how to leverage how to gain the the

human mind like the psychology right or

whatever's trending at the same time

looking that then I'm looking at

stoicism as being a very like one of the

top niches to exploit right now so

that's why I'm bringing this up I'm not

saying like I'm not saying that stoicism

itself is necessarily like the like real

philosophy yeah and by the way Marcus

aurelus was one of the

stoics there's a lot more than just

Marcus okay we know him because he was

like you know the Caesar of [ __ ] you

know Rome got it okay he was in

Gladiator I know that

dude there were a group of people called

the stoics and if you are really

genuinely wanting to understand the

philosophy of stoicism you have to kind

of look a little bit beyond Marcus

orelus so just saying
