Pearl - Intelligent Men Learn How to Tune Out Idiots

00:00:00.200 What up, guys? Welcome to my reaction. Not reaction. I'm not going to refilm this.

00:00:05.900 Welcome to my coffee talks. I don't have coffee, but today I have a sparkling water.

00:00:11.880 So I was thinking about how I say I was thinking about a lot, number one.

00:00:17.240 It's like I always start this the same way.

00:00:19.460 Um, but I was, I had the thought that in my lifetime, it seems like the smartest people

00:00:32.200 are not in charge. And it seems like the smartest people are really put down on the planet.

00:00:41.840 and that would be white men so we have the white male here i've talked a lot about this but like

00:00:50.000 here we got the white man now white men pay the most of the taxes um they do the majority of the

00:00:58.280 infrastructure jobs i just found out the other day that they've actually gotten the most olympic

00:01:02.440 medals so black people i thought you guys had that turns out you don't um and white men have

00:01:08.580 done the majority of the inventions and have created the civilizations everyone wants to go to 0.97

00:01:13.200 now um you could argue that maybe the chinese and the muslims have also created some cool

00:01:19.180 civilizations and i'm not here to you know say potato potato but i don't really see an abundance

00:01:25.520 of white people trying to go to china right i know what happens you know you got the eat pray love 0.98

00:01:29.940 bullshit sorry hold on hold on but in general i don't see an abundance of white men 0.98

00:01:39.100 sorry of white people going everywhere else but it seems like whenever white 0.99

00:01:47.140 people create something other people come join it

00:01:49.680 and whenever you notice anything that gives credit to the white guy everybody including

00:01:58.800 white women, black, all women, right? See what I mean? Angry woman and then angry, not all black 1.00

00:02:14.960 guys, but a good chunk of them get angry when you give any credit to white men. And I think it's

00:02:23.220 because they're jealous. Because in my experience, white men are just the most productive members of

00:02:31.940 society and the easiest to work with. And they are so capable that I think everybody is angry

00:02:38.820 because it makes us look terrible. I can speak from personal experience because I talk a lot

00:02:45.820 about my father on this channel. He's a white guy, obviously, right? I think of anybody

00:02:52.280 followed my dad around for a day they would be embarrassed about what they get done in the day

00:02:59.560 I know I certainly feel shame whenever I um just follow my dad around for a day because I'm like 0.94

00:03:06.880 wow I am such a loser compared to this guy it makes you feel like a loser I'm going to give

00:03:12.500 you an example my dad hired some guys now to be fair they could have been white guys too I don't 0.95

00:03:17.620 know who he hired we have a house in florida and my father hired these guys to um do his windows

00:03:26.700 and my father is not and i would say this is um normal among most white men not an angry man and

00:03:35.620 very much he's not looking to embarrass you he just wants to get people working and get the

00:03:41.160 problem solved so the problem he was having was these people he hired to do his windows

00:03:46.700 um we're doing it too slow so my dad got on a plane and flew down to Florida from his house

00:03:56.320 in the Midwest and asked to help them so he didn't go there to yell at them and say work

00:04:05.120 faster he said okay what do I need to do with you guys to get this done um and my father again he

00:04:15.100 has the money to hire people. But every project, he literally can do himself. He knows how to do it

00:04:23.760 and will do it himself if necessary. And if you're ever around a white guy like this,

00:04:33.020 their phones just go off all day from all the people that rely on him.

00:04:37.940 For example, my dad's pretty successful. So me, sometimes I call him and I'm like, dad,

00:04:45.100 i heard this 12 step morning routine makes you really successful did you have one of those and

00:04:50.460 he's like what and he's like no i didn't have a morning routine i just wanted to get the work done

00:05:01.420 and that's kind of how they are you know they don't do these like 12 step 5 a.m i mean i don't

00:05:07.180 know um i guess over an accumulation my dad ate subway a lot growing up but and like diet coke

00:05:13.420 um but what's interesting about white guys is they're very in the most intelligent people 0.54

00:05:19.620 they're very um they don't really like to give generalized advice because you know if i said

00:05:29.600 dad how do i be as rich as you now one i i didn't get that um he's really really intelligent like

00:05:35.480 so like crazy intelligent i'm not as smart as him um but my dad would say he would respond to me and

00:05:43.120 he would say, well, like one, you need to be lucky to like work hard, fix the problem,

00:05:49.500 fix the problem. And that's like all like, that's just the way his brain operates.

00:05:54.400 Now, what am I like? What's my point here? Pearl, get to the point. Get to the point. I can already

00:05:58.420 see the comments. Sorry, guys. My point is that it seems like in society, the people giving the

00:06:06.480 orders are stupid. Um, a lot of the time when it comes to, and these are the industries I've 0.99

00:06:13.660 noticed a lot of stupid people, corporate America, corporate America. Okay. 1.00

00:06:29.400 social media i know hypocritical hypocritical i know i'm a hypocrite okay social media 0.93

00:06:38.480 um sometimes law i've noticed i don't i mean this is anecdotal but at times law a lot of 0.99

00:06:48.580 lawyers just seem like fat women and how how smart can you be if you can't put the donut down you 1.00

00:06:54.160 know what I mean it's like social media law do you guys hear my dog I gave her a little bit of 0.99

00:07:08.860 steak and she's like crashing out corporate America law um I'm missing stuff oh education

00:07:19.000 and even, at times, healthcare, which is kind of crazy for me to say that. 1.00

00:07:26.000 Not all, not all, but, like, I've met a lot of stupid nurses, okay? 1.00

00:07:30.040 Now, and it seems like the smartest guys, 1.00

00:07:37.400 one, they want to give the least amount of advice.

00:07:42.660 Now, a lot of you said that you guys found me from Scott Adams.

00:07:45.980 like you used to watch his coffee talks and now I don't know I've seen this in the comments recently

00:07:50.460 and I was thinking about how Scott Adams would be someone I just think would never be like in

00:07:57.580 charge of anything but everyone would want to listen to because when you meet a white guy that's

00:08:02.860 like really smart you can just always tell really quickly that they're intelligent and like

00:08:08.060 intuitively your gut just wants to listen to them like I just get um I meet these men often

00:08:14.900 and it seems like, this is what I've noticed,

00:08:18.600 they're in some sort of private sector

00:08:22.200 because anything with bureaucracy

00:08:25.140 seems to hold back the smartest people.

00:08:33.180 And it seems like anytime a group,

00:08:36.020 and I've talked a lot about the downsides of groups,

00:08:39.420 but anytime a group gets too big,

00:08:41.700 it gets overtaken by women, 1.00

00:08:43.280 and then it becomes the women shit come in which women care more about looking cool and status and 1.00

00:08:52.740 men care more about competence so it seems like women rule too many institutions except 1.00

00:08:57.900 maybe the private sector um so

00:09:04.940 because of that a lot of these guys go elsewhere

00:09:11.200 the other thing I've noticed is I think there's a lot of intelligent men that because of the

00:09:17.340 education system don't know they're intelligent because it seems like whenever they would be more

00:09:24.240 smart than their teachers the women would crash out so and for me what I've noticed is the number 1.00

00:09:35.780 one skill that these men seem to have and has benefited my life is tuning out stupid people 1.00

00:09:53.020 and people with big egos. I just put tuning out stupid people. That seems to be the number one 1.00

00:09:59.820 skill that you need to have because, and two, problem solving. And I've noticed this because

00:10:12.460 my father, so there's that professor, the history guy, I don't know, he's going viral right now,

00:10:17.960 the Asian guy. And I showed some videos to my dad and I said, dad, what do you think, dad? What do

00:10:23.460 you think? Like, do you like this history guy? And my dad, he responds to me and he says,

00:10:29.820 like I think the history guy had some comment about Trump being a dictator or something like 1.00

00:10:35.200 that my dad's like why would I listen to someone stupid enough to think that 0.99

00:10:38.100 and my dad is very um I don't know if it's something he's had from a young age or learned 0.99

00:10:43.360 over time my dad's always been you know my dad so I don't know if like he's gotten better at it but

00:10:50.780 it seems like the more intelligent the person the more they have this skill where they can just 1.00

00:10:56.600 tune out stupid people. Um, because what they do is they just solve the problem in front of them 1.00

00:11:07.220 and they don't get emotional. They don't get mad. They don't even, um, it's just, they just,

00:11:17.640 my dad and, you know, men like my dad, they want to tune out stupid people, solve problem, 1.00

00:11:22.500 Tune out stupid people, solve problem. 1.00

00:11:25.900 My dad doesn't even really see the point of talking. 1.00

00:11:28.300 He's like, what are we going to talk for all day?

00:11:31.220 I always want, I told my dad I want him to write a book

00:11:33.660 because he's so smart.

00:11:35.740 And he doesn't even want to write a book.

00:11:37.540 And he's the smartest person I know.

00:11:39.400 And so I thought, if the smartest person I know

00:11:42.580 doesn't want to write a book, who is writing books? 1.00

00:11:50.620 It's not always stupid people, right? 0.99

00:11:52.220 but do you see where I'm going with this? I'm like, Dad, you should have a channel. Why do I 1.00

00:11:56.600 have a channel? You should have a channel. But I think my dad would go crazy on here.

00:12:06.380 So this is not my best coffee talk. So I've also had a thought I'm kind of working with

00:12:13.360 and you guys can kind of give me some feedback in the comments. This is what I'm working with.

00:12:19.920 this might not be the most concise you know but it seems like we're in a fight between the real

00:12:25.700 world and the digital world and in my life I've kind of gone in phases where I'm like totally

00:12:32.120 digital and phases where I'm totally in person right there's like so a digital world might be

00:12:40.300 me streaming a lot. Twitter spaces. In person, I might go to coffee shops, gyms. I don't 0.98

00:12:58.900 know like online would be like dating apps in person meeting

00:13:05.740 and just observations on my life because I've kind of had phases where I've existed in both

00:13:15.260 because it seems like the busier I get the more I go online because I got to be home and get more

00:13:19.960 stuff done it's just easier to turn on Twitter space and talk than go like you know drive to

00:13:26.000 the gym or go you know whatever it seems like if you don't participate in the digital world a lot

00:13:37.140 of times you miss out on more opportunity because more people are on the digital world

00:13:41.900 but if you participate too much in the digital world because you only have so much time right

00:13:47.740 so like there was a time where i was doing twitter spaces like every night i had so much fun with it

00:13:52.120 um but i started to feel kind of weird where i'm like having trouble making eye contact in person

00:13:57.600 um and it seems like both of these are like a muscle and as a person you're like fighting

00:14:04.740 between both um and the older you get the more you participate in the real world partially because

00:14:10.800 you get kind of iced out of the digital world you know what i mean like on tiktok i mean i'm 29 i'd 0.57

00:14:16.780 be like the oldest bitch on there you know um although I guess you know that's not completely 1.00

00:14:22.700 true but you know what I'm saying like um but it seems like the more the world becomes the 0.99

00:14:30.540 woman's world which is like the devil's world the more um we go from real life into the digital world 0.96

00:14:37.020 however if you bring real world energy people find you um

00:14:42.840 and people are very the other thing i've noticed is people are pretty excited to talk in general

00:14:49.420 i don't know if it's because i'm a big ball of sunshine or what but if you come in with like a

00:14:53.420 high um happy energy a smile nobody's that enthused to like talk to anybody anymore

00:14:59.320 so a lot of times if you bring that even if they look dead inside they wake up so i don't know this

00:15:04.660 is men and women um my experience personally it's probably different if you're a guy but

00:15:09.000 anyways all right um that's not my best coffee talk ever so please excuse me um but if you have

00:15:17.880 any thoughts about either of the topics I have these are kind of stuff I'm like you know I'm

00:15:23.100 kind of expanding on and working with and I always appreciate your comments questions and concerns

00:15:29.020 I'll see you next time
