What is resilience?

[Danioover9000]

   Here's the video below that triggered my question into what is resilience really? Spoiler warning, may contain scenes of graphic violence from fighting, and topics covered briefly are mental health but not mental disorders, so if you have mental illnesses going on don't watch video, just skip to my points below:

My intuitive, first impression points:

1. I think the video maker has simplistic assumptions of what resilience is, and narrowly defines it and confines it to mainly physical, with some overlap to mental resilience, and very little in terms of energetic and spiritual resilience.

2. I fucking hate how some documentarians include edited clips in of Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson. The video covers mental health and resilience from the context of UFC fighting mostly, so it doesn't need to include shit outside it's context. Assumes the 12 house rules are sufficient to teach everybody.

3. Too many abstractions and taking bits and pieces and elements from other contexts and forcing it into this video, of which the majority of average citizens ain't UFC mixed martial artists, then attempts to give a pseudo remedy for how the commons can raise their resiliency points, like it's a fucking RPG/JRPG game!

4. The author assumes that almost everybody can be like David Goggins, but avoids the elephants in the room, those being the factors of genetics, brain hardwiring, nervous system, body composition, and upbringing in childhood in a dysfunctional environment by dysfunctional people, where the condensed love of those terrible people forces a person to adapt or die.

5. Avoids bringing in specific examples to develop healthier resilience, and vibrancy of life force. For example, he doesn't list out maybe practicing Yoga, or Tai chi as valid methods to increase resilience. Even Brazilian Jiujitsu or some other martial arts training if he wants to stay in topic and context. 

6. Misleading title and clip bait, for that this person, regardless of if he wins or loses or leads a mediocre life or the good life of actualization, he is a terrible human being. Screw clicks bait Mo Fos for eternity.

   My view: It depends on the stage of development, cognitive and moral development, psychology and personality typing, states of consciousness, life experiences and other lines of development, what and how your mind is like and how it represents reality around it through its many senses making apparatuses, at the individual level to the collective level.
