I agree with the video. I think a great alternative for the education system would be to properly educate children from a very young age with more lateral thinking rather than linear—especially through philosophy and creativity-driven lessons. Perhaps part of the reason this doesn’t happen is that governments, non-critical thinking parents, and global elites simply don't want kids growing up to question authority. They don't want them to have the freedom of thought that philosophy provides. They may be comfortable maintaining the illusion of mass control over developing minds—feeding them "brainrot," unrealistic expectations, lies, religious indoctrination, individualism, and egotistical role models. They would rather dumb the world down to keep society falling for idealistic narratives and blindly following authority, rather than letting kids actually challenge concepts, build new ideas from nothing, and pursue their true passions. All of this is reflected not only in "child prodigies," but across our entire population and generations to come. Whether you are a four-year-old prodigy, an average kid, or an everyday adult, it often seems like we are all set up for failure—at least according to the "statistics." But what you do about your current situation is, as always, the most important thing. There is no magical philosophical lesson, book, or teacher that can just fix your brain and transfer all the linear knowledge you need to succeed and live the life you want. You have to actually go outside, experience the uncomfortable unknown, and fail. You have to experience life with a sense of justified rebelliousness, fail again, get frustrated over and over, and learn from your mistakes. Along the way, you can create something meaningful for humanity and for yourself! It is really up to you. (Or is it?) Well, maybe in the grand scheme of things it's not entirely up to you, but you can choose to believe that it is. Either way, you have some control over your life. Make it count; make it worth it.

If I were to approach this from a Stoic perspective, I'd say: stop paralyzing yourself with idealistic daydreams of escape. Instead, channel that existential frustration into taking immediate action. Even if they are just micro-actions, start right where you are to intentionally reshape your reality. Remember, running away is just a temporary illusion of freedom because you take your internal state with you wherever you go. If you escape into the world while still feeling chaotic, resentful, and helpless, that nomadic life will eventually become a contradiction. Your external world is simply a mirror of your internal state. Once you learn to find clarity, peace, and control over your own actions while living in a situation you hate (Like using your electrical trade skills and your weekends as a way to build discipline, mental resilience, and some actual money) , you truly stop being a victim of your circumstances. But again that's just an opinion, I really wish you the best bro :)

Maybe all that overthinking is just a coping mechanism to prevent yourself from changing. You fabricate those doubts and emotions to avoid the uncomfortable truth: that it takes courage and discipline to risk that comfort and actually change. It's easy to use examples and statistics to claim you have no free will, but it's really up to YOU to have the courage to interpret reality in a more constructive way. Remember that you are not a statistic; you DO have the power to change your interpretation (which is often subjective), even if you choose to believe you have no free will. "While you cannot control events, you have the free will to choose how you interpret them and how they affect your present." — Adapted from Alfred Adler / Stoic philosophy I recommend you read the book The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga. PS: I don’t think determinism excuses sinful actions in the context of the modern world. We must prioritize ourselves and the social structure we live in, meaning there must be consequences for such actions to protect humanity and maintain order (even if it may seem cruel to some). Society must seek a balance between the action itself and the context and meaning behind it—at least in a practical sense. Perhaps a person is not universally morally responsible for their actions, as our mere existence is a product of chaotic mess and probability; however, for real-world situations, morality is a social construct that keeps us alive and in constant evolution.

Im Juan from Mexico and I want to find my purpose in life using philosophy, I've always wanted to be a pro basketball player, but also an entrepreneur and a great student but can't really answer why, maybe I forgot or never really thought about it... I want to live a meaningful life without dumb regrets of the what if's or all the unnecessary overthinking I often do.
