Something has changed.
What is it? Ding ding ding ding. Camera
quality. What happened, Felix? Not
again. Let me explain. You ever go to
one of these self-improvement journeys?
Except it's not self-improvement. It's
the complete opposite. It's evolving
just backwards. So basically what
happened was it all started with
Dioynes. If you remember, greatest
philosopher of all time. He told
Alexander the Great to move out of his
sunlight. He showed Plato a featherless
bipod. He was kidnapped by pirates, but
instead of becoming their slave, he
became their teacher. He peed on
bystanders and lived in a barrel. What
else is there to know? And I know what
you're thinking. What does this have to
do with the camera feelings? I will get
to that point because there's so many
stories with Dioynes, but one that
really stuck out with me. Camera's also
kind of low. I have to I have to stand
like this to talk to you guys. I'm just
really tall. Don't Google my height. A
story of Dioenese that sticks out to me
is the one about his wooden bowl. He
famously had only one possession which
was a wooden ball until he saw a child
use his hands instead of a bowl and he
realized what an idiot he was. Throw it
away. Beaten by a child. I think about
this all the time. An unhealthy amount.
There's balls. There is balls
everywhere. I can't be the only one. If
you remember a while ago, one of my most
viewed videos, that's right, my most
viewed short is me talking about my
shoes, which is where I apply this
principle of trying to minimize owning
one thing. Show it. I am a one pair of
shoe only kind of guy. Before I used to
enjoy saving up to things and then
feeling excited when I could finally buy
it. It was It was fun. It was cool. I
was hyped. I don't really get that
anymore. I know. Boohoo. So, the way I
do it is I have one pair of shoes. I
wear them till they're completely
Then when it's time to buy new
shoes, it's like exciting. I look
forward to it. That's why one pair of
shoes supreme. So, I've been doing this
for a while now where I've been trying
to apply this theory of owning one thing
or better yet, nothing. And I want to
share you with you just how mentally
deranged I truly am. This wasn't even
supposed to be a video. I just am. First
of all, headphones. I used to own guess
how many headphones. Who cares?
Four headphones. These one. These one.
These one. These ones. They all had
different purposes. It all made sense to
me until I realized I cannot have four
headphones. What kind of epic minimalist
am I? I'm a fraud. God damn it. So, I
decided and I had Oh my god. I I don't
miss them. I don't miss them. But I had
these beautiful autofile headphones. The
sound quality was incredible. You don't
understand. Once you hear music at a
certain level, you can't go back. Except
