00:00:00.000
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:05.380
It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.
00:00:16.880
Yes, I had exactly one green shirt, and here it is.
00:00:21.160
I might keep this one around just for a future St. Patrick's Days.
00:00:25.380
By the way, has St. Patrick's Day been erased yet?
00:00:38.440
Because I feel I'm probably doing something racist just by celebrating Irish people.
00:00:48.400
I'd like to remind you that not only is our history fake, because it used to be written by the winners, but now it's written by the losers, literally.
00:01:00.020
The people who couldn't do anything became reporters, literally the losers.
00:01:05.160
So the winners are starting SpaceX's and starting social media companies and making billions of dollars.
00:01:14.260
The history is written by the people who couldn't do any of those things.
00:01:22.700
AI is now rewriting history about me in real time.
00:01:27.120
So I'm having this weird experience where I can watch history being faked about me.
00:01:34.680
And I know that that will become the permanent history.
00:01:37.520
For example, I did a little experiment in the Man Cave video that I do just for the local subscribers,
00:01:44.060
in which I asked ChatGPT to list quotes from me.
00:01:51.960
And I think out of 10, two of them were completely made up.
00:02:01.040
If you were just some person searching for information,
00:02:14.360
If I saw the eight looked kind of real, I remembered them.
00:02:23.940
But the good news is I saw a list of presumed presidential IQs,
00:02:31.420
And it turns out the number one highest IQ of past presidents was John Quincy Adams.
00:02:47.600
In between was Jefferson and Clinton and Madison.
00:02:54.640
And you'll notice that the IQs go up over time.
00:02:59.320
So John Adams, the father, was only a mere 150.
00:03:06.340
And, you know, they're only my cousins, but I'm up to 185.
00:03:10.480
You know, I think the next generation, if I had any kids that I knew about,
00:03:22.980
I would like to point out that when it comes to presidents,
00:03:27.320
the IQ is not as important as the talent stack.
00:03:32.040
The talent stack can boost your natural IQ in an effective way.
00:03:38.760
For example, President Trump was somewhere in the middle of the IQs of presidents.
00:03:45.680
And, by the way, I'm not saying that they've measured all this accurately.
00:03:52.320
But if you imagine that Trump is in the middle, you might say to yourself,
00:03:57.340
whoa, wouldn't we do better with somebody up in that 150 range?
00:04:02.360
And the answer is you could, but only if they had as good a talent stack.
00:04:07.060
Because one of the things that makes Trump Trump is that he's a performer.
00:04:11.420
You know, Reagan had that, but it was sort of rare.
00:04:13.600
And Trump knows business, and he's a persuader, just to name three things.
00:04:20.920
So if you know the real business world, you haven't been a politician all your life,
00:04:29.780
your perceived IQ in terms of what you can get done would be a lot higher.
00:04:35.980
So I'm going to take the middle of the pack IQ plus the greater talent stack for the win.
00:04:44.120
Now, I would say the other people who fit that would be Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson.
00:04:50.380
He also had the talent stack of inventing and running a business, et cetera.
00:05:00.620
Reagan, you know, as I said, he had the entertainer thing going on.
00:05:04.160
So whenever you see a better talent stack, you're going to get a little bit better performance, I think.
00:05:13.120
You've heard this advice from people who give this kind of advice,
00:05:17.420
but it's actually really helpful to hear it from a real person you know, you know, Joe Rogan,
00:05:26.160
So he says, quote, in a clip I saw just today on X,
00:05:32.560
I went from being someone who was incredibly insecure and basically a failure
00:05:36.240
to someone who was really successful at this one thing that was very dangerous that other people were scared of.
00:05:44.560
So once he got good at being, you know, some kind of a MMA type fighting, I guess,
00:05:55.440
And then I guess the confidence carried over into his other activities.
00:06:04.300
which is that if you can find anything at all that you can be better than other people,
00:06:14.560
Number one, it's going to teach you, as Joe Rogan said directly,
00:06:18.060
it teaches you that you can work hard and become good at something,
00:06:27.540
it's not really obvious that you can just become good at something by just wanting to
00:06:32.120
and just trying hard and practicing, but you can.
00:06:36.080
So I always recommend that you find something that interests you enough
00:06:39.680
that you can practice it enough that you're in at least the top 10%.
00:06:43.840
And that's not that hard to be in the top 10% of something.
00:06:48.500
To be in the top, you know, 0.01% and be the best professional, that's pretty hard.
00:06:53.740
But to be in the top 10% of almost anything is really not that hard.
00:06:59.060
So practice is usually all it takes because most people are not practicing that one specific thing.
00:07:06.400
But if you are, you're going to be in the top 10%.
00:07:08.520
So that's one of the best pieces of advice you can get is become good at something,
00:07:14.560
even if it's a hobby, because that becomes something you understand about yourself.
00:07:19.240
Oh, I'm a person who can become good at a new thing that I've never done before,
00:07:23.820
just by waiting in and being brave and doing a lot of practice.
00:07:27.720
But the other thing that can get you is better sex.
00:07:31.480
Because if you're good at anything, this is my best mating and dating strategy.
00:07:38.580
You hear all the normal stuff from other people,
00:07:41.420
but I'm going to give you the good persuasion stuff for dating.
00:07:45.900
You want to be able to demonstrate in front of other people, witnesses,
00:07:51.240
that there's at least one thing you do better than most people.
00:07:55.100
Because that is a signal for your genetic quality.
00:07:58.900
And all dating is some reflection of the mating instinct.
00:08:04.300
So if you can show that you're good at anything,
00:08:07.180
could be music or sports or thinking or making money or really anything,
00:08:19.840
Or you could work out at the gym and be stronger,
00:08:27.940
people will naturally be drawn to you and want to mate with you
00:08:34.500
is to demonstrate that you're in the top 10% of something
00:08:41.560
I'm going to develop a theme here and you're going to love it.
00:08:45.920
I'm not going to tell you what the theme is until we get to it.
00:08:48.680
I'll just give you the stories and tell you what theme you saw.
00:09:11.240
I don't think anybody's surprised by this, are you?
00:09:13.940
Is there anybody here who's hearing for the first time
00:09:16.100
that eating junk food all day is going to be bad for your brain?
00:09:25.000
And some scientists, according to the Wall Street Journal,
00:09:29.460
they're actually proposing a new mental health condition
00:09:37.400
Basically, a mental health problem caused by your food.
00:09:57.180
but maybe makes you smarter or doesn't hurt you.
00:10:00.400
And they tested those who had junk food for breakfast
00:10:02.780
didn't perform well on learning and memory tests.
00:10:22.480
There's a study that says woke attitudes are linked to anxiety,
00:10:32.840
you think you're either an oppressor or you're a victim.
00:10:55.680
But what happens if you do what Joe Rogan did and you just go get good at
00:11:01.000
especially something scary that other people are afraid of?
00:11:22.460
would your brain work as well as if you were mentally well?
00:11:31.640
eating junk food will make you stupid and being woke will make you stupid via
00:11:53.220
showing anecdotes of women who had bad experiences on birth control because it
00:12:12.780
what's the actual respectful way to say somebody is working hard.
00:12:19.040
she's working hard to get people to understand that maybe they should ask some
00:12:28.940
I think she's saying that there may be a lot of symptoms to them that we don't
00:12:35.340
And that maybe you should be more aware that if you get on the pill and gain
00:12:40.880
If you get on the pill and makes you depressed,
00:12:50.260
if you go to your doctor and you say you have those symptoms,
00:12:58.480
they're going to give you a medication for your mental health.
00:13:15.500
And then your doctor rather than take you off the pill is going to give you,
00:13:24.040
SSRIs or whatever the hell it is and antidepressants.
00:13:43.380
Do you think your brain makes as good a decisions?
00:13:46.280
Because some say it makes you more emotional and burst into tears and stuff like that.
00:13:59.020
So it could be that the pill makes you less capable of making good decisions.
00:14:05.500
I would like to make a side point that at the same time,
00:14:15.780
And so 300,000 years of human evolution just got thrown under the bus.
00:14:24.280
What is it that makes a human male and a human female attracted to each other?
00:14:39.320
but really that just follows the natural biology.
00:14:48.260
super jacked up on testosterone and you're crazy horny,
00:14:56.060
So it's not your brain deciding what's attractive.
00:15:04.920
can be completely changed by being on birth control or not.
00:15:11.600
you can even go back further from humans to millions of years of evolution that created these male and females who had a certain chemical signature.
00:15:21.900
The men had high testosterone and the women had whatever you have when you're not on the pill.
00:15:39.900
are you real surprised about the lack of reproduction?
00:15:44.140
Are you real surprised that we're not banging each other like crazy?
00:15:48.340
Do you see that there's no way in the world that we would be as attracted to each other as we were before testosterone dropped,
00:16:01.980
There's not really any chance that we would be attracted to each other at the same level because we evolved to be attracted with that very specific chemical signature.
00:16:11.860
And then we use science to change it or we use pollution to change it.
00:16:32.080
Taking birth control is maybe making you stupid.
00:16:52.360
woke women on birth control are the primary people who are controlling the country right now.
00:17:12.780
Because science tells you that she's too stupid to listen to.
00:17:28.680
But thank goodness we've got social media to help us with our mental problems.
00:17:33.220
So we've got TikTok making us doubt our genders.
00:17:40.160
So have you seen how the people doubting their genders is going through the roof?
00:17:47.360
Do you not believe me that it's a TikTok effect?
00:18:01.880
I've been telling you that the real risk with TikTok is persuasion.
00:18:08.740
they've built a platform where they can just push the button
00:18:29.160
So then we got to the point where there was this anti-TikTok bill
00:18:37.160
And what did TikTok do as soon as TikTok was threatened?
00:18:41.100
Well, if you don't know this, this is hilarious.
00:18:48.120
that, you know, they were going to lose their platform
00:18:54.960
So the phones of the Congress people just rang off the hook.
00:19:09.500
Do you think that that worked to convince the Congress people
00:19:14.580
that TikTok is not trying to use its persuasion powers?
00:19:19.900
So TikTok created instantly a massive persuasion effect in the country,
00:19:38.760
a massive persuasion campaign by pushing a button.
00:19:52.780
I'm not so sure this TikTok thing is so dangerous.
00:19:55.920
And then they found out that they couldn't use their phones
00:19:58.600
because the phones were just jammed with persuasion.
00:20:02.960
There was so much persuasion happening to them personally
00:20:14.120
We don't know, but it sounds like that's part of the story.
00:20:21.720
where we understand TikTok is a persuasion problem
00:20:25.980
and that's been demonstrated to our complete satisfaction.
00:20:41.900
because everybody tells me when there's a new one.
00:20:43.880
Let me tell you what's different this time around.
00:21:07.500
so that you know what was fake news and what wasn't?
00:21:49.300
if that makes you feel more comfortable as well.
00:22:03.040
It's like a self-organized branch of government
00:22:17.220
I can tell you that when there's the one secret source
00:22:22.820
I can tell you that if it's this group of people,
00:22:35.160
Mike Cernovich, you know, Jack Posobiec, Steve Bannon,
00:24:00.820
Now, the real context is that Trump was talking about
00:24:16.560
So it was never talking about physical violence.
