Parts of this speech were in the trailer for "Days of my youth" and it really makes me think. I showed it too my dad and he was disgusted. He lives like the majority of the population... get a boring job, get stressed out, and wish you could start over. I want to know what your opinion is. What would you do if money were no object?

I think everyone would like to make a living doing exactly what they WANT to do.

This isn't exactly a new concept. He acts like its new-- referring to how many people aren't doing exactly what they want to do as proof--as if all of their life choices were made because they were ignorant to his revelation. Not true.

I desire for hipster douchebags with no concept of reality to stop pretending they know the secret to life and if you're not doing it, then you're wrong and wasting your life.

This is fucking nonsense. Money makes the world go round. There's only so long you can get by pretending that your hobbies are your real life. Take ski bums for instance...you can't sustain skiing your whole life, or even an entire season, without having a job to fund it. What pays for your skis, clothing, accommodation, food, bills, etc? Sure you could be a ski instructor...but what about summer? Unless you're one of the 0.1% of people who turn pro and make enough money to live a comfortable life and set themselves up for retirement you'll have to face reality one day and by then it'll probably be too late.

Fuck, I'd rather have a decent job I enjoy that pays me $$$ so I can afford to do whatever I want with my free time - hobbies during the week, live it up at the weekends, travel the world during my vacation time, buy whatever I want.

Do whatever you want to do but don't be swayed by some alternative bullshit just because some dude made a video...go figure things out for yourself!

"I'm not doing what everyone else is doing because I'm like so totally different and cool. I use baseless, generalized happy-go-me phrases and thoughts to justify my life of being a worthless piece of self-indulgent shit while at the same time talking down to everyone else with a sense of reality and/or a different circumstance based on multiple factors outside of anyone's control or my understanding".

That about sums it up.

Yup.

"I'm so not a sheep. Everyone else with their wives and kids, jobs and houses are sheep and are so brain washed they don't even understand that they're missing out on life. People should just quit their jobs, travel and just try to do exactly what makes them happy...like me...even though I don't realize I'm doing it at everyone else's expense, and don't realize that it isn't that the sheep haven't considered my philosophy, it's that I haven't figured out theirs...Or how life really works at all for that matter...so until I do, I will be a condescending little shit, and demean their lives to that of drones, right down to calling my own parents lifeless, boring, sheep. I mean, I would know. I see them every day seeing as I still live at home whenever I run out of funds."

Well you could interpret it that way which is a very literal definition. Or you could think about it as meaning "take up work in a field that interests you, that you enjoy doing, and that you find fulfilling/worthwhile." It doesn't have to be your hobby strictly speaking, but he's saying that it's pointless to work at something you hate doing because you're going to spend the majority of your time doing it. Also, this is very relevant: http://www.reddit.com/r/books/comments/1wd4jz/hunter_s_thompsons_superb_advice_on_how_to_find/
This is Hunter S. Thompson's take on the same topic.
