Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 934 Scott Adams： Learn the True Story About Wuhan, What pairs Well With Fish Tank Cleaner？

00:00:00.000 come in here come in here come in here if you dare you'll hear a story so dark so awful that

00:00:17.580 you may never be the same tonight the true story of a place called wuhan in a place called china

00:00:30.420 not long ago people believed that wuhan was a plain city in china some thought it was a large

00:00:42.460 city in china but it was not oh it was more than that it was so much more than that and we piece

00:00:52.980 together the clues number one wuhan it turns out is the main center of fentanyl production

00:01:06.380 that is shipped to the cartels and then the cartels turn it into fentanyl and it kills

00:01:13.660 americans by the tens of thousands as wuhan wuhan the center of all fentanyl

00:01:21.380 but is that the only thing that wuhan is famous for no no it is not wuhan is also

00:01:29.640 a place where horrible weapons are being researched in secret laboratories it is a place where

00:01:40.160 the virus like no other virus none of this world appeared first oh yeah yeah and what about

00:01:53.380 the food is it the food is it regular food or is it demon food small animals bats marsupials

00:02:05.540 ripped to shreds their bodies slain and spread around the market for anyone to just come and eat

00:02:14.500 eat and eat no wuhan is not just a city in china that's the cover story wuhan is i think i have made the

00:02:27.460 case a portal to hell you think those 20 million chinese phones have suddenly got deactivated do you think

00:02:39.100 they're still in this dimension no that was the price there was a price there was a price to pay for stopping

00:02:48.140 the plague that came out of the portal from hell and that price was a sacrifice 20 billion chinese citizens

00:02:58.060 in wuhan were sucked back into the portal into hell forever

00:03:06.220 and that is the story of wuhan

00:03:09.900 alexa turn on studio

00:03:20.220 aah that's better

00:03:27.660 so let's talk about all the things excuse me while i grab my notes

00:03:33.660 i've got two two whiteboards to get past yeah double whiteboards that's right you're gonna be

00:03:42.940 right

00:03:43.260 microphone back on back in action all right um did you see uh the president's uh task force

00:03:54.940 press conference today it was a little bit short a little bit brief took no questions which was

00:04:01.660 perfect so i think the president nailed it today with his press conference he'd already

00:04:06.300 answered too many questions earlier today so he kept it short and i liked it what i really

00:04:12.140 liked about it is that when um it was a stephen hod fda had came up and started talking about uh

00:04:19.980 i guess today they approved an at-home test what an at-home test now you can't get it unless your

00:04:27.580 doctor orders is so they're you know not enough to go around but doesn't it make you wonder

00:04:33.660 what is the obstacle to take the home test which exists i guess there are 100 000 of them already

00:04:40.060 made uh it's approved fda approved and they just i think they mail it to your house you you do the

00:04:47.340 sample yourself swab your nose or something and then you just mail it back fedex and you have an answer

00:04:53.020 like a day and it sounds great but my question is in the context of an emergency what is there that

00:05:01.580 that we can't get done in 30 days this i'm just curious if we wanted to ramp this home testing thing

00:05:08.940 up from 100 000 to you know 10 million or whatever and we wanted to get there really quickly probably

00:05:16.700 need more than that probably need 100 million what would it take to go from where we are to 100

00:05:24.220 million of them fairly quickly because i can't think of anything that we couldn't get done in about a

00:05:29.980 month and he said it would take maybe four months to ramp up and that was only going to be another

00:05:34.780 hundred thousand so just a drop in the bucket so it can't be because of lack of money because this

00:05:42.940 would be so important that if you could ramp it up and all you needed was more money well we could get

00:05:49.020 the money almost instantly right it can't be about physical facilities in terms of you know rent and

00:05:58.780 real estate because again it's an emergency so if we needed to find 25 you know warehouses to

00:06:07.180 quickly turn into little factories to make this i feel like we could do that in a week right

00:06:12.940 because everything's just sort of sitting around idle people would step up they'd say yeah you can

00:06:17.580 use my building whatever so what is it that's holding it up is it just supply in terms of some of the

00:06:25.180 raw materials is it the the swabs and the little cotton tips the little containers is that is that all

00:06:32.860 because i'm sure i'm trying to think what what in the world would take four months in an emergency

00:06:42.060 because this could actually be the the most important thing if you could test everybody

00:06:47.100 home and have an answer in a day i feel like you'd be on top of the virus pretty quickly so just a

00:06:53.820 curiosity i would love more visibility on what it is that's holding it up and maybe there's some way we

00:07:00.700 can help who knows steve on also said that there are a whole bunch of therapeutics and some of them

00:07:09.740 sounded pretty promising you know everything sounds promising until it isn't i i think at this point

00:07:17.180 uh our hopes and dreams for something as simple as hydroxychloroquine plus azithromycin plus zinc

00:07:24.940 if it works at all yeah of course it would be in the the early stages but if it works at all i feel

00:07:34.220 like we'd know it by now like we wouldn't be wondering we'd say oh yeah it's just so obvious

00:07:40.380 we're going to stop the trials because it's just so obvious it wouldn't be fair to to deny it to

00:07:45.420 anybody while we're waiting so i think if i think if the even if the three pack if it really was making a

00:07:53.820 difference i feel like we'd know so i would bet against it at this point so i'm still putting my

00:07:58.620 odds at sixty percent that hydroxychloroquine is not the answer um but there are so many out there

00:08:07.100 to therapeutics that are being worked on that it looks like um i don't think we've ever seen such

00:08:14.380 such creativity and um you know i i said a few days ago that we're going to see the next two weeks

00:08:23.340 will be the most amazing two weeks maybe of human history you know that's a lot to say for any two

00:08:30.620 week period but in terms of how much is going to get invented in the next two weeks or even you know

00:08:38.220 the beginning of completely transforming the systems that you know form our civilization the next two weeks

00:08:45.500 are just going to be off the hook and we're going to see all kinds of stories about the therapies of the

00:08:51.740 type you never even thought could be a thing things to boost your immune system things to protect your

00:08:57.980 lungs things to stop it from spreading i mean it's going to be crazy in the next two weeks in a good

00:09:03.740 way um so cnn is uh if you haven't watched cnn today and tonight oh my god it's interesting

00:09:16.380 because cnn is pretending or they've talked themselves into it or they believe it i actually

00:09:23.100 can't tell that president trump said in public that uh you know maybe maybe we should consider uh

00:09:32.300 some kind of some kind of imbibing of clorox and lysol

00:09:38.860 now cnn is playing a very clever game with this because they're they're preventing their

00:09:44.700 viewers from seeing the full context which would totally explain it away

00:09:49.340 uh so that that's the first thing they do the other thing they do is they use a variety of words

00:09:55.020 for what they allege trump did or said that actually didn't really happen what so they they

00:10:02.860 sometimes use the word he used which is injection but sometimes they say drink as if he actually said

00:10:10.940 you know people should uh drink any of these substances no he didn't say drink that's purely made up

00:10:18.620 so they're using drink sometimes and also ingest now do you think ingest suggests that a medical

00:10:26.700 professional is carefully you know administering it with a syringe no when you hear ingest it sort of

00:10:34.940 suggests that the president maybe was thinking people should drink it which didn't happen right so

00:10:42.940 they're playing a very clever game with their words to describe what he's doing and they're they're

00:10:47.580 using them sort of almost uh you know somewhat randomly um and you'll never see anybody at cnn answer this

00:10:57.740 question which is who really thought the president of the united states was suggesting lysol and clorox

00:11:06.780 to scrub the virus out of people's body i mean really is there anybody at cnn who interpreted it that way

00:11:17.820 i totally i totally i totally get the point that the president was unclear and i completely accept

00:11:26.780 that that could be a problem for somebody who's extraordinarily dumb how dumb well let me give

00:11:34.380 you an idea of how dumb cnn believes the public is and by the way i don't think they're wrong

00:11:41.260 so i'm not going to disagree but this is how dumb cnn thinks their audience is and some of them might in

00:11:51.340 fact be this dumb they believe that some people might actually hear what the president said and

00:11:57.900 and here's the funny part they think that without them continually reporting on this that there would be

00:12:04.220 enough people who heard the president say it and their own interpretation would have been without

00:12:10.220 anybody telling you how to interpret it yeah this is the magic trick they do if the public had just

00:12:16.780 seen the president talking and there'd never been any news coverage nobody ever wrote a story about it

00:12:23.020 they just watched it live just as it happened what would the public's opinion of that be

00:12:28.140 this is this is the entire opinion they'd have huh looks like he's he's just brainstorming a little

00:12:33.740 bit i didn't really understand that part yeah now what's for dinner that's it that's it nobody in

00:12:41.260 the public would have even registered that he said something that could be even be a problem

00:12:47.580 because it was just in a list of things he was brainstorming about you don't know what's practical

00:12:52.700 what isn't sounds like it could be a thing he's using you know he's he's not using medical words he's

00:12:58.380 using layperson words anyway um so the president uh put that out there and now cnn is pretending that

00:13:08.700 uh he really he really somehow meant that um so of course they did a follow-up question with the

00:13:17.500 president and i thought to myself thank goodness the president is just going to clarify this and he'll

00:13:24.860 just say no no no i wasn't talking about ingesting those things i was saying that those are the things

00:13:30.780 you know the bleach of the isopropyl alcohol you're using on the outside world and then i was also

00:13:36.940 talking about the light therapy that is injected into the uh trachea with the ventilator tube and

00:13:44.140 that's a new thing and i was just saying that if the light is a disinfectant is there a way to you

00:13:51.100 know basically scrub the lungs and disinfect them with maybe this light therapy yeah you're right i i said

00:13:58.300 it a little bit uh awkwardly but of course i didn't mean to suggest anybody would use exterior

00:14:04.300 cleaning products on their body that would be crazy so that's what i thought he might say

00:14:13.260 how'd that go it turns out if you've been following the news

00:14:20.140 the approach that i just outlined was not exactly the path he took

00:14:24.780 i can't say i saw it coming didn't see it coming what he said was that he was responding to reporters

00:14:34.380 in the audience and he was being sarcastic

00:14:39.500 what

00:14:42.140 it was like he wasn't even answering the the question that was asked it was like

00:14:47.420 and and i don't think there was one person in the world what be they supporter or be they

00:14:58.300 critic of the president i don't think there was one person in the world who believed him

00:15:05.020 yeah he said well he said he was sarcastic right uh and and so i'm thinking all right

00:15:13.580 we can't read his mind but let's just speculate what do we think he was thinking

00:15:21.420 when he said you know an answer this is the most ridiculous answer that not even his most ardent

00:15:28.060 supporters can buy in and they're like yeah i believe that all over the country there were

00:15:33.340 people having the same experience trump supporters they were saying all right i got you on this you

00:15:38.940 you were you were taking out of context i got you back i will i will go on social media and i'll

00:15:44.220 tell those people what really happened uh just as long as you wait what did you just say what did you

00:15:51.980 just say and then you have to like rethink the whole thing you're like okay uh why would he say that

00:16:00.620 don't know never will know because it was an internal thought he had something happened let me speculate

00:16:08.940 because this is for entertainment only right so i'll speculate do you remember when trump answered

00:16:15.660 the famous rosie o'donnell question in the first debate uh the priberies and the and i and i told you

00:16:23.980 that the beauty of the rosie o'donnell answer is that it was ridiculous didn't didn't really address

00:16:30.220 the question i mean not in a serious way but then he ran but he ran out the clock and everybody laughed

00:16:37.980 and sort of made fun of the way he answered it and somehow it completely eliminated the criticism

00:16:43.820 like the criticism just evaporated because his answer was so much more interesting than the

00:16:48.700 criticism and then we just sort of moved on and then he became president against all odds and i

00:16:55.980 remember that was the moment that i literally stood up and said uh i wonder if he can do that again

00:17:02.380 meaning is this a reaper is this a reproducible thing can can he just own somebody in real time

00:17:11.900 like that hard with doing something just ridiculous and turns out he can he can do it a lot so here's my

00:17:20.300 speculation i i wouldn't you know die on this hill being true but it makes sense to me i think he said

00:17:27.020 to himself what is my alternative think about it what was the other thing he could have said

00:17:34.380 if he had said any version of what i said that's all we'd be talking about we'd be running his clip

00:17:40.940 and they'd show the what he explained then they'd show what he said and then they'd leave stuff out so

00:17:46.460 it looked like he didn't say what he explained he said because they would take the context out then

00:17:51.260 the pundits would lie they would say no you didn't say that you really said this i heard it with my

00:17:55.500 own ears what would it get him if he had told what i think is the truth which is that he was talking

00:18:05.260 about disinfecting the lungs directly with you know either uv light or it could have been a gas because

00:18:12.220 it turns out that there are some situations in which there's something like hydrogen peroxide gas or

00:18:18.300 something so there are there are therapies suggested by smart people scientists and

00:18:24.700 doctors and stuff that involve some kind of gaseous stuff pumped into your lungs to do something so

00:18:32.060 the president was speculating but imagine trying to explain that it would just be a complete nightmare

00:18:41.100 and a distraction because that's all he'd be doing it's like no i meant this and then cnn would say no

00:18:47.500 you didn't look at the quo we took out of context that's proof that you didn't mean that now you said

00:18:55.100 something crazy about drinking drinking clorox and we caught you in a lie about it bam he didn't have an

00:19:04.380 alternative route so my point is the president was completely trapped because simply simply talking about

00:19:13.900 the topic was bad for him the more they talk about it the more they've got a tape the more they can compare

00:19:20.300 what he said look for these tiny details that are different it would just be non-stop pecking him to death on this

00:19:27.100 topic so like the rosie o'donald trap where his campaign was over he was in a corner there was no way he's getting

00:19:35.500 out of this this uh you know this question and then he does right in front of your eyes like like houdini and so we saw him being trapped by the media and then he says i was being sarcastic and then they say i really don't know what to do with that

00:19:56.060 do you see the weird genius of it and again i don't know if that's just if that was his thought process so i can't tell you for sure it was genius but i will tell you that he has extra tools

00:20:10.460 and what and among his extra tools is the fact that he will use um nuclear grade bullshit to run out the clock

00:20:19.980 so i believe he just ran out the clock and said something so ridiculous that they didn't even know

00:20:26.060 what to do with it just like the rosie o'donald comment is so ridiculous that a standard news person

00:20:33.220 or pundit can just sort of report it because you don't even know what to say about it it's just so weird

00:20:40.060 because it's so obviously not true and you know it's not true but as long as he acts like he means it's true

00:20:47.900 there's no follow-up question right what's the follow-up question once he says it's it's a sarcasm

00:20:55.260 there's no follow-up question that's the end of it and then he goes on to something else after he runs out the clock

00:21:04.460 and i'm thinking to myself i don't know how planned it was i just know that he managed to pull a rabbit out of a hat

00:21:15.020 and turn what was you know best case scenario it looked like it was going to be a terrible terrible

00:21:21.260 thing and he turned it into a slightly less terrible thing that's just sort of weird

00:21:25.800 that i think we'll forget about in a week so i don't know uh or or he just thought people would

00:21:34.540 believe it i don't know we don't know what he was thinking uh but it was pretty funny all right so

00:21:40.600 this is how dumb uh cnn thinks you are so anderson cooper was talking about this story and he was

00:21:46.160 talking about how uh you know you don't want somebody to hear about these exterior cleaning products

00:21:52.800 and then try to use them themselves so that so the worry is

00:21:57.860 that somebody would try to be their own doctor and administer

00:22:01.600 administer these deadly poisons that are meant for household cleaning

00:22:05.740 but then anderson cooper has somebody on who starts talking about that

00:22:10.700 uv light therapy that is inserted into the trachea to

00:22:16.100 you know disinfect the virus

00:22:19.100 and then anderson because he's sort of on a roll

00:22:23.440 he decides to say that this could be dangerous

00:22:27.080 to suggest that uv light inserted into the lungs or the trachea

00:22:32.400 that it might work because what if somebody at home

00:22:35.680 hears that and they take their own uv light

00:22:38.960 and they shove it down their own trachea

00:22:41.660 into their own lungs and then hurt themselves

00:22:45.180 did it sound like i just made that up

00:22:50.360 because i didn't just make that up

00:22:53.760 anderson cooper was actually worried

00:22:56.920 that if somebody thought this special far uv light

00:23:00.720 was good for the coronavirus

00:23:02.120 that they might shove it down their own throat

00:23:05.160 so far that they would be injured

00:23:07.940 by shoving a light down their throat

00:23:10.700 and while i would not want

00:23:13.880 i would not want anyone to do such a thing

00:23:18.720 i have to wonder if we would miss that person

00:23:22.000 would we miss that person

00:23:24.140 you know if if there was a family member of yours

00:23:27.500 who you know of course you love your family

00:23:30.680 but if a family member of yours died

00:23:33.140 by trying to shove a uv light

00:23:37.600 down his or her throat

00:23:39.580 until he gagged to death

00:23:41.840 or possibly electrocuted himself or herself

00:23:44.760 would you say to yourself

00:23:47.100 i'm sure going to miss carl

00:23:48.760 or would you say well that was going to happen

00:23:51.260 one way or the other

00:23:52.100 i mean the timer was on

00:23:54.740 carl i don't think carl was going to live to 80

00:23:57.420 if you know what i mean

00:23:58.340 carl was going to find a way

00:24:00.980 it just happened to be today

00:24:03.000 it was the uv light that got him

00:24:05.620 he did pretty well

00:24:07.560 i mean it was one of those

00:24:08.700 you know long ones

00:24:10.440 he got it

00:24:11.540 he got about three quarters down

00:24:13.020 and it was just the last

00:24:15.640 the last inch that perforated his

00:24:19.100 his bottom of his lungs

00:24:21.020 but otherwise it was a near miss

00:24:23.120 could have worked

00:24:23.660 all right

00:24:26.520 one of the things i wonder

00:24:29.540 if the uh if the virus models

00:24:32.580 have calculated

00:24:33.800 is do you think that the virus models

00:24:37.080 have calculated

00:24:37.940 how good young people are

00:24:40.780 at staying away from old people

00:24:42.620 have you ever seen a young person

00:24:45.080 who really wanted to spend some time

00:24:47.140 with an old person

00:24:48.000 it happens

00:24:49.940 i'm not going to say it never happens

00:24:51.900 but

00:24:53.080 if you're a young person

00:24:54.960 how much work are you putting into

00:24:57.360 spending time with old people anyway

00:24:59.500 and what do you do

00:25:01.320 do you say to yourself

00:25:02.820 i'm sure glad i'm spending time

00:25:04.520 with these old people

00:25:05.580 because that's

00:25:06.920 that's what i wanted to do today

00:25:08.880 i wanted to spend a bunch of time

00:25:10.500 with some old people

00:25:11.420 no

00:25:12.820 i think more likely

00:25:14.600 people will say

00:25:15.580 are you telling me

00:25:16.480 i have an excuse

00:25:17.460 not to visit grandma

00:25:18.620 really

00:25:19.940 i don't have to visit grandma

00:25:22.100 this is the best day ever

00:25:24.020 and i can just say

00:25:25.500 grandma it's not me

00:25:26.560 it's uh

00:25:28.280 it's it's the orange man

00:25:29.500 orange man bad says

00:25:30.880 i can't come visit you

00:25:32.760 oh i want to

00:25:34.380 oh

00:25:35.200 oh

00:25:36.440 well i just don't think

00:25:38.460 that the uh

00:25:39.360 the models have factored in

00:25:41.260 just how airtight

00:25:43.100 that separation is going to be

00:25:44.860 if you give the young

00:25:46.100 just a little bit of an excuse

00:25:47.780 just a little bit of an excuse

00:25:49.960 all right

00:25:51.300 i'm going to teach you

00:25:53.980 some more of the secrets of life

00:25:55.580 are you ready for that

00:25:56.300 first of all

00:25:57.800 there's some math of the uh

00:26:00.600 the

00:26:01.020 math of life i'll call it

00:26:03.280 the math of the external world

00:26:04.860 if you don't know

00:26:06.160 this kind of math

00:26:08.320 and i'm using the word math

00:26:09.980 pretty you know

00:26:11.000 liberally

00:26:11.640 if you don't understand these things

00:26:13.740 it's going to be hard to succeed in life

00:26:15.700 and i'll just

00:26:16.640 quickly mention what they are

00:26:18.300 if you don't know

00:26:19.340 how to diversify your portfolio

00:26:21.260 or even how to diversify

00:26:23.680 your life

00:26:24.700 you're going to be in trouble

00:26:26.300 because diversification just works

00:26:28.040 just always works

00:26:29.380 in my case

00:26:30.580 i diversify my bosses

00:26:32.320 so i don't have a boss

00:26:34.320 who could fire me

00:26:35.580 because if i only had one boss

00:26:36.840 that would be terrible

00:26:37.580 so i have lots of customers

00:26:39.720 so lots of my customers

00:26:41.620 can fire me

00:26:42.480 and i still have a job

00:26:43.560 so diversify your bosses

00:26:45.720 diversify your customers

00:26:47.260 diversify your portfolio

00:26:49.140 it's one of the most important pieces

00:26:51.100 of math

00:26:51.800 of life

00:26:52.880 you'll ever learn

00:26:53.780 if you put together

00:26:55.360 your talent stack

00:26:56.340 i talk about this all the time

00:26:57.780 it's not just that

00:26:59.100 if you add one talent

00:27:00.360 to the one you have

00:27:01.440 it's not that you have

00:27:02.680 twice as much

00:27:03.520 the math of life

00:27:05.140 is that you have something

00:27:05.940 like three or four times

00:27:07.320 as many options

00:27:09.080 and every time you add something

00:27:10.340 it's like your options double

00:27:12.140 so the math of talent stacks

00:27:14.880 is that they

00:27:16.180 they just multiply

00:27:17.840 very quickly

00:27:18.980 every time you add a talent

00:27:20.600 here's something else

00:27:23.240 in terms of luck

00:27:24.220 and the odds

00:27:25.240 go where there's luck

00:27:27.120 go where there's lots of energy

00:27:29.020 where there's an industry

00:27:30.080 that's taken off

00:27:30.980 where it's a

00:27:31.520 it's a happening place

00:27:32.860 if you have the option

00:27:33.660 you know we don't all have

00:27:34.720 the option of travel

00:27:35.500 but if you get the chance

00:27:36.940 go where the energy is

00:27:38.060 when i left college

00:27:39.060 i sold my car

00:27:40.380 for a one-way ticket

00:27:41.160 to san francisco

00:27:42.360 why?

00:27:44.080 because there was

00:27:44.940 a lot of energy there

00:27:45.780 lots of options

00:27:47.180 lots of stuff

00:27:48.000 and so some of that energy

00:27:49.780 i could take advantage of

00:27:51.000 you need some kind of

00:27:53.300 a strategy for making money

00:27:54.980 uh here here are two

00:27:57.060 one strategy is to sell

00:27:59.440 large things like houses

00:28:00.940 or or office buildings

00:28:02.740 or or commercial jets

00:28:04.860 you know just selling

00:28:06.100 really big ticket items

00:28:07.600 and then taking your percentage

00:28:08.780 you can get pretty rich

00:28:10.000 that way

00:28:10.360 another way would be

00:28:11.640 to sell something

00:28:12.520 that's uh less expensive

00:28:14.660 but it can be reproduced easily

00:28:16.700 such as a Dilbert cartoon

00:28:18.680 or a uh any kind of

00:28:21.060 a license agreement

00:28:22.080 uh any any kind of a book

00:28:24.780 that sort of thing

00:28:25.600 so it doesn't have to be

00:28:27.220 one of these two things

00:28:28.260 but you should have

00:28:29.400 a strategy of life

00:28:30.660 that if it works out

00:28:32.440 it's uncapped

00:28:34.680 it can just grow to the moon

00:28:36.460 what you don't want to do

00:28:37.540 is sell your time

00:28:38.820 because the math

00:28:40.200 doesn't work

00:28:40.940 if you're selling

00:28:41.900 your time

00:28:42.520 and getting paid

00:28:43.080 by the hour

00:28:43.720 there's there's really

00:28:45.080 a limit to how much

00:28:46.440 money you'll ever have

00:28:47.540 because your time

00:28:49.000 cannot be infinitely

00:28:50.220 more expensive

00:28:51.240 uh networking

00:28:53.340 with other people

00:28:54.160 is one of those things

00:28:55.000 that increases

00:28:55.580 your odds of success

00:28:57.200 you know by factors

00:28:58.880 of you know five

00:29:00.020 every time you meet

00:29:00.920 somebody

00:29:01.300 that's probably

00:29:02.360 an exaggeration

00:29:03.120 but every time

00:29:04.040 you meet one person

00:29:05.040 it connects you

00:29:06.140 to all of the people

00:29:06.940 they know

00:29:07.440 so the math

00:29:08.540 of networking

00:29:09.140 is meet one person

00:29:10.480 and you sort of

00:29:12.040 um somewhat

00:29:13.180 adopt their network

00:29:15.000 because you can always

00:29:15.980 ask that one person

00:29:16.940 for help

00:29:17.460 and that person

00:29:18.420 will say

00:29:18.700 oh yeah

00:29:19.000 I know a guy

00:29:19.620 let me connect you

00:29:20.780 so the math

00:29:21.820 of networking

00:29:22.340 is really strong

00:29:23.160 the math of compounding

00:29:24.920 you know

00:29:25.600 if you just add

00:29:26.240 a little knowledge

00:29:27.080 to uh

00:29:27.900 to your life

00:29:28.960 every day

00:29:29.520 I try to learn

00:29:30.560 something every day

00:29:31.380 even if it's minimal

00:29:32.300 and that compounds

00:29:34.240 so the same way

00:29:35.560 that money

00:29:36.020 and interest

00:29:36.880 compounds

00:29:37.960 uh so too

00:29:39.400 does knowledge

00:29:40.180 so not just

00:29:41.120 in the talent stack way

00:29:42.360 that's a special way

00:29:43.680 but any kind of knowledge

00:29:45.420 it compounds

00:29:46.260 because the knowledge

00:29:47.660 starts forming

00:29:49.320 connections

00:29:50.000 and patterns

00:29:51.300 that will

00:29:52.540 uh allow you

00:29:53.440 to take from

00:29:54.180 one field

00:29:54.760 and say

00:29:55.080 you know

00:29:55.520 that reminds me

00:29:57.200 of what the

00:29:57.940 the UConn

00:29:59.300 tribe's been dead

00:30:01.120 and you know

00:30:01.780 I'll use that

00:30:02.340 when I build my network

00:30:03.300 so you're looking

00:30:03.920 for patterns

00:30:04.560 around the world

00:30:05.200 and the more

00:30:06.600 of them you see

00:30:07.320 the more you can

00:30:08.260 put together

00:30:08.820 and then just

00:30:09.440 risk management

00:30:10.160 in general

00:30:10.920 so you know

00:30:12.380 there's lots of

00:30:13.280 et cetera here

00:30:14.080 and miscellaneous

00:30:14.840 but these are

00:30:15.980 the big things

00:30:16.480 right

00:30:16.660 so these are

00:30:18.600 the external

00:30:19.360 things you gotta

00:30:20.380 get right

00:30:20.940 but

00:30:21.840 on the other side

00:30:22.860 of the whiteboard

00:30:23.420 is the fun stuff

00:30:24.540 if you've got

00:30:25.500 the math

00:30:26.080 of life right

00:30:27.600 the next thing

00:30:28.640 you need to do

00:30:29.280 is reprogram

00:30:30.180 your brain

00:30:30.860 to optimize it

00:30:32.640 so that you're

00:30:33.560 an optimized

00:30:34.220 instrument

00:30:36.280 in this

00:30:37.320 this thing

00:30:38.200 we call life

00:30:38.940 so

00:30:39.840 I was

00:30:42.340 uh asked

00:30:43.580 in a prior

00:30:44.960 periscope

00:30:45.580 to give you

00:30:46.600 a little lesson

00:30:47.220 on hacking

00:30:47.800 your brain

00:30:48.400 and I'll do

00:30:49.400 this very quickly

00:30:50.380 uh I know

00:30:51.680 it looks complicated

00:30:52.400 but it's really not

00:30:53.280 it's not

00:30:54.080 so think of it

00:30:55.200 this way

00:30:55.600 think of it

00:30:56.580 in terms of

00:30:57.240 brain hacking

00:30:57.760 is there's

00:30:58.440 power

00:30:58.820 and then

00:30:59.520 there's

00:30:59.800 design

00:31:00.340 so this is

00:31:01.300 this is just

00:31:01.880 you know

00:31:02.180 how much

00:31:02.500 energy

00:31:03.100 energy

00:31:04.440 your brain

00:31:04.900 is producing

00:31:05.580 how much

00:31:06.320 you know

00:31:06.740 you think of it

00:31:07.220 as like

00:31:07.540 horsepower

00:31:07.980 or wattage

00:31:09.200 and to have

00:31:10.360 a powerful

00:31:11.100 brain

00:31:11.540 you gotta take

00:31:12.260 care of your

00:31:12.740 diet and your

00:31:13.580 exercise and your

00:31:14.220 sleep

00:31:14.520 you wanna challenge

00:31:15.780 yourself

00:31:16.220 to learn new

00:31:17.220 things

00:31:17.660 and add variety

00:31:19.620 to your life

00:31:20.340 so you're not

00:31:21.020 you know

00:31:21.340 bored about

00:31:22.020 looking at the

00:31:22.800 same stuff

00:31:23.240 and it's good

00:31:23.900 to have a

00:31:24.380 purpose

00:31:24.840 to energize

00:31:25.780 yourself

00:31:26.620 alright

00:31:27.220 so

00:31:28.060 in my case

00:31:29.640 um

00:31:30.860 you know

00:31:31.420 that I've

00:31:31.920 I've been

00:31:32.220 trying to teach

00:31:32.780 myself

00:31:33.240 the drums

00:31:33.860 because

00:31:34.820 that for me

00:31:35.960 is a big

00:31:36.320 challenge

00:31:36.800 because that's

00:31:37.480 so outside

00:31:38.060 my

00:31:38.360 my realm

00:31:39.160 of

00:31:39.480 of uh

00:31:40.480 you know

00:31:40.800 any kind

00:31:41.600 of natural

00:31:42.000 talent

00:31:42.360 so

00:31:43.380 but I do

00:31:43.840 that intentionally

00:31:44.540 because I'm

00:31:45.920 trying to

00:31:46.360 power my

00:31:46.980 brain

00:31:47.340 so I'm

00:31:48.020 always paying

00:31:48.440 attention

00:31:48.800 to these

00:31:49.240 now

00:31:49.860 the biggest

00:31:50.640 mistake

00:31:51.140 people make

00:31:52.000 in my

00:31:52.620 opinion

00:31:52.980 maybe in

00:31:54.280 their whole

00:31:54.580 life

00:31:54.940 yeah

00:31:56.160 this

00:31:56.420 this might

00:31:56.780 be the

00:31:57.060 biggest

00:31:57.340 mistake

00:31:57.780 people make

00:31:58.440 in their

00:31:59.560 whole life

00:32:00.100 and you're

00:32:01.240 not going

00:32:01.500 to believe

00:32:01.840 it

00:32:02.160 but I'll

00:32:03.080 tell you

00:32:03.520 and that

00:32:04.360 is to

00:32:04.740 think that

00:32:05.160 diet and

00:32:05.620 exercise

00:32:06.060 are the

00:32:07.240 things that

00:32:07.660 you can

00:32:07.940 put off

00:32:08.600 because you're

00:32:09.980 busy

00:32:10.280 you know

00:32:11.140 those are

00:32:11.420 the things

00:32:11.720 you'll

00:32:11.860 like well

00:32:12.320 I'll just

00:32:13.320 eat some

00:32:13.680 fast food

00:32:14.360 it's faster

00:32:15.200 now I'll

00:32:16.440 skip the

00:32:16.820 gym today

00:32:17.360 but if you

00:32:18.100 get these

00:32:18.500 things right

00:32:19.080 every other

00:32:20.700 part of your

00:32:21.140 life is easier

00:32:21.860 you know

00:32:22.780 your job

00:32:23.480 your romantic

00:32:24.820 life

00:32:25.340 your health

00:32:26.160 your brain

00:32:27.540 actually will

00:32:28.260 function better

00:32:29.120 just everything

00:32:30.500 is better

00:32:30.860 so if you

00:32:31.240 don't start

00:32:31.760 here

00:32:32.100 you're

00:32:34.120 going to be

00:32:34.880 in bad

00:32:35.640 shape

00:32:35.940 alright

00:32:38.240 so then

00:32:39.080 the next part

00:32:39.660 is design

00:32:40.500 and this is

00:32:41.060 the fun part

00:32:41.640 you should

00:32:42.280 read a book

00:32:42.700 called Habit

00:32:43.620 there are

00:32:45.360 several books

00:32:45.860 you can just

00:32:46.300 google it

00:32:46.840 so learn how

00:32:47.820 to build

00:32:48.120 habits

00:32:48.660 building

00:32:49.620 habit

00:32:50.000 is

00:32:50.380 doing

00:32:51.380 something

00:32:51.740 in a

00:32:52.000 repetitive

00:32:52.280 way

00:32:52.640 that

00:32:52.820 gives

00:32:53.000 you

00:32:53.120 a

00:32:53.300 reward

00:32:53.700 and there's

00:32:54.800 a payoff

00:32:55.320 so like

00:32:55.900 Pavlov's

00:32:56.640 dogs

00:32:57.120 that would

00:32:57.900 salivate

00:32:58.540 when the

00:32:59.360 bell was

00:32:59.740 rung

00:33:00.020 because they

00:33:00.380 knew

00:33:00.520 that some

00:33:00.880 food was

00:33:01.320 coming

00:33:01.580 you can

00:33:02.440 actually train

00:33:03.020 yourself

00:33:03.360 like a

00:33:03.720 dog

00:33:04.120 to do

00:33:05.220 the things

00:33:05.680 that you

00:33:05.960 wanted to

00:33:06.400 do

00:33:06.680 simply by

00:33:07.360 giving

00:33:07.580 yourself

00:33:07.900 a reward

00:33:08.440 so I've

00:33:09.420 said before

00:33:10.160 that if I

00:33:10.940 exercise

00:33:11.640 I always make

00:33:12.520 sure that

00:33:12.920 after my

00:33:13.440 exercise

00:33:13.940 I've

00:33:14.700 scheduled

00:33:15.020 some

00:33:15.300 downtime

00:33:15.660 where I'm

00:33:16.800 just relaxing

00:33:17.560 having

00:33:18.060 protein shake

00:33:19.100 cup of

00:33:19.600 coffee

00:33:19.960 protein bar

00:33:21.260 looking at

00:33:22.280 my twitter

00:33:22.940 whatever

00:33:23.300 stuff I

00:33:24.120 want to

00:33:24.640 do

00:33:24.880 so it's

00:33:25.740 just this

00:33:26.040 really good

00:33:26.640 feeling of

00:33:27.280 being done

00:33:27.760 exercising

00:33:28.460 and you're

00:33:29.520 just you know

00:33:30.140 chilling out

00:33:30.800 so build in

00:33:32.620 little rewards

00:33:33.680 for the things

00:33:34.420 you want to

00:33:35.020 make habits

00:33:35.900 and read my

00:33:37.920 book how to

00:33:38.520 fail almost

00:33:39.000 everything

00:33:39.320 and still

00:33:39.860 win big

00:33:40.300 to learn how

00:33:41.220 to build

00:33:41.600 systems

00:33:42.220 to make

00:33:42.860 all this

00:33:43.180 stuff easy

00:33:43.700 ideally you

00:33:45.320 want to

00:33:45.560 build

00:33:45.700 systems

00:33:46.260 that make

00:33:47.160 it easier

00:33:47.800 to do

00:33:48.260 things right

00:33:49.000 than it

00:33:50.020 would be

00:33:50.300 to do

00:33:50.580 it wrong

00:33:50.940 that's the

00:33:51.300 whole thing

00:33:51.620 so you're

00:33:51.960 working on

00:33:52.320 your brain

00:33:53.240 so don't

00:33:54.360 think in

00:33:54.740 terms of

00:33:55.240 how can I

00:33:56.120 make my

00:33:56.540 muscle bigger

00:33:57.160 that's the

00:33:58.420 wrong mindset

00:33:59.200 you should

00:34:00.180 think in

00:34:00.620 terms of

00:34:01.200 how can I

00:34:02.000 make exercise

00:34:02.660 a habit

00:34:03.300 because if

00:34:04.520 you get

00:34:04.820 that right

00:34:05.440 everything else

00:34:06.940 is going to

00:34:07.260 work out

00:34:07.680 eventually you're

00:34:08.660 going to say

00:34:09.100 well I go to

00:34:10.180 the gym every

00:34:10.720 day maybe I'll

00:34:11.940 try that other

00:34:12.660 machine or

00:34:13.760 maybe I'll

00:34:14.320 talk to

00:34:15.140 Bob and

00:34:16.300 see what

00:34:16.600 he's doing

00:34:17.040 maybe I'll

00:34:17.500 try what

00:34:18.180 he's doing

00:34:18.500 so you end

00:34:19.520 up doing

00:34:20.180 everything right

00:34:21.080 in the long

00:34:21.960 run just by

00:34:22.820 trial and error

00:34:23.620 and learning

00:34:24.320 how to exercise

00:34:25.180 properly but

00:34:26.820 you've got to

00:34:27.220 get the

00:34:27.460 habit thing

00:34:28.440 right that's

00:34:29.000 what the

00:34:29.480 how to fail

00:34:29.860 book will

00:34:30.280 tell you

00:34:30.660 alright so

00:34:31.820 here are the

00:34:32.060 other things

00:34:32.440 contrast

00:34:33.180 oh did I

00:34:35.880 leave off the

00:34:36.680 most important

00:34:37.460 one I did

00:34:38.980 association

00:34:42.340 so that's

00:34:47.800 that's the

00:34:48.980 concept behind

00:34:49.700 building a

00:34:50.540 habit

00:34:51.080 so if you

00:34:52.340 associate

00:34:52.860 hey every

00:34:53.660 time I do

00:34:54.160 this I get

00:34:54.720 a reward

00:34:55.340 you've

00:34:55.960 associated

00:34:56.520 a reward

00:34:57.760 and I've

00:34:58.800 used this

00:34:59.240 technique of

00:35:00.040 associating a

00:35:01.140 reward with

00:35:03.000 a behavior

00:35:03.500 you can change

00:35:05.040 your preferences

00:35:05.780 you can change

00:35:06.980 literally you can

00:35:07.720 change your

00:35:08.060 preferences

00:35:08.500 which would

00:35:09.920 effectively make

00:35:10.820 you a different

00:35:11.220 person if you

00:35:11.820 had different

00:35:12.160 preferences

00:35:12.600 show the full

00:35:14.740 board there

00:35:15.340 you go

00:35:16.340 and

00:35:18.580 sorry

00:35:21.840 that's about

00:35:22.920 right

00:35:23.180 and so

00:35:26.620 anytime you

00:35:27.760 want to

00:35:28.300 to make

00:35:29.640 yourself like

00:35:30.680 something that

00:35:31.320 you don't want

00:35:31.820 to like

00:35:32.240 associate it with

00:35:33.660 something pleasurable

00:35:34.620 and eventually

00:35:35.380 you'll just

00:35:36.160 you'll just

00:35:36.800 train yourself

00:35:37.360 contrast is

00:35:38.680 the idea

00:35:39.100 that

00:35:39.540 you use

00:35:42.000 contrast all

00:35:42.660 the time

00:35:43.000 so you would

00:35:43.460 say for

00:35:43.780 example

00:35:44.180 well what's

00:35:45.100 the worst

00:35:45.500 thing that

00:35:45.900 could happen

00:35:46.380 and if you

00:35:47.580 think the

00:35:47.920 worst thing

00:35:48.340 that could

00:35:48.600 happen is

00:35:49.560 unlikely and

00:35:50.880 it's over

00:35:51.300 here

00:35:51.640 then what

00:35:52.360 does happen

00:35:53.000 that's more

00:35:53.540 likely just

00:35:54.200 doesn't seem

00:35:54.700 so bad

00:35:55.120 so you

00:35:56.140 probably will

00:35:57.100 recognize the

00:35:57.820 times to use

00:35:58.620 contrast

00:35:59.100 but if you

00:35:59.760 use it

00:36:00.080 willfully

00:36:00.600 you can

00:36:01.540 fool yourself

00:36:02.400 into liking

00:36:03.140 something that

00:36:03.820 you didn't

00:36:04.080 like as much

00:36:04.780 simply by

00:36:05.900 thinking of

00:36:06.800 something that

00:36:07.360 contrasts with

00:36:08.220 it in the

00:36:08.920 way that

00:36:09.300 helps you

00:36:09.900 go that

00:36:10.220 way

00:36:10.820 so you

00:36:12.140 want to

00:36:12.440 focus

00:36:13.100 whatever you

00:36:13.740 focus on

00:36:14.420 the act of

00:36:15.960 focusing on

00:36:16.620 something

00:36:17.040 causes you to

00:36:18.260 tune your mind

00:36:19.320 to notice

00:36:20.240 opportunities

00:36:21.980 I was walking

00:36:23.300 down the street

00:36:24.000 yesterday

00:36:24.860 and I found

00:36:26.240 a $20 bill

00:36:27.300 laying in the

00:36:28.520 grass next to

00:36:29.740 the sidewalk

00:36:30.200 and you might

00:36:32.640 ask yourself

00:36:33.220 how long has

00:36:33.780 that been there

00:36:34.300 it's a sidewalk

00:36:36.000 how many

00:36:36.700 people didn't

00:36:37.320 see a $20

00:36:38.000 bill laying

00:36:39.540 on the

00:36:39.800 ground

00:36:40.180 but it was

00:36:41.520 old and

00:36:41.920 withered

00:36:42.280 but I've

00:36:44.340 always expected

00:36:45.200 to find money

00:36:46.120 since I was

00:36:47.220 a kid

00:36:47.720 one day I

00:36:48.940 found a bunch

00:36:49.400 of money

00:36:49.760 by the side

00:36:50.580 of the street

00:36:51.160 so I told

00:36:52.420 myself when I

00:36:53.100 was a kid

00:36:53.580 to always look

00:36:54.920 for money

00:36:55.460 and so I do

00:36:56.860 so if I'm just

00:36:57.980 walking somewhere

00:36:58.920 it's just a

00:37:00.180 lifetime habit

00:37:00.980 I'm always

00:37:01.840 looking for

00:37:02.360 money

00:37:02.660 and you

00:37:04.100 would be

00:37:04.400 amazed how

00:37:05.320 often you

00:37:05.800 can find

00:37:06.320 money lying

00:37:07.640 on the

00:37:07.940 ground

00:37:08.300 if you're

00:37:09.420 looking for

00:37:09.880 it

00:37:10.080 if you're

00:37:10.560 not looking

00:37:10.960 for it

00:37:11.260 apparently you

00:37:11.740 don't see

00:37:12.100 it

00:37:12.340 because I

00:37:13.060 saw a $20

00:37:13.620 bill lying

00:37:14.340 there and

00:37:15.180 I don't know

00:37:15.700 how many

00:37:16.000 people walked

00:37:16.560 by before

00:37:17.100 that

00:37:17.500 so I

00:37:19.500 spend lots

00:37:20.280 of times

00:37:20.720 literally picking

00:37:21.940 up free

00:37:22.360 money

00:37:22.680 because if

00:37:24.000 you focus

00:37:24.720 on anything

00:37:25.440 it tunes

00:37:26.720 your filter

00:37:27.320 to just see

00:37:27.980 more of it

00:37:28.640 so that's

00:37:29.360 a hack

00:37:30.100 framing

00:37:31.560 is important

00:37:32.260 for example

00:37:33.620 when I say

00:37:34.320 I told you

00:37:35.380 the trick

00:37:35.820 of instead

00:37:36.640 of seeing

00:37:37.080 yourself as

00:37:37.980 this creature

00:37:39.160 in the world

00:37:39.800 that's oppressing

00:37:40.620 you

00:37:40.900 don't think

00:37:41.780 of yourself

00:37:42.120 as a victim

00:37:42.720 that's one

00:37:44.040 frame

00:37:44.380 think of yourself

00:37:45.220 as somebody

00:37:45.880 who's going

00:37:46.180 to win

00:37:46.480 and another

00:37:49.020 frame is to

00:37:49.640 imagine that

00:37:50.260 you're a

00:37:51.320 creature inside

00:37:52.260 a robot body

00:37:53.260 and this is

00:37:54.760 just a game

00:37:55.360 you're playing

00:37:55.900 and when you're

00:37:56.840 moving your

00:37:57.320 big robot body

00:37:58.360 this isn't you

00:37:59.680 this body

00:38:01.540 is not me

00:38:02.240 the me

00:38:03.400 is inside

00:38:04.000 me

00:38:04.260 and I'm

00:38:05.240 just telling

00:38:05.660 this what

00:38:06.080 to do

00:38:06.480 and it's

00:38:07.200 just like

00:38:07.480 a video

00:38:07.820 game

00:38:08.160 and that's

00:38:09.140 a frame

00:38:09.920 that you

00:38:10.200 can use

00:38:10.700 to avoid

00:38:11.860 stress

00:38:12.460 because it

00:38:13.380 just puts

00:38:13.760 you in a

00:38:14.100 whole different

00:38:14.500 world

00:38:14.920 you're like

00:38:15.300 oh

00:38:15.600 I'm just

00:38:16.380 operating

00:38:16.760 a video

00:38:17.100 game

00:38:17.400 now it

00:38:19.720 doesn't have

00:38:20.120 to be

00:38:20.340 true

00:38:20.800 it just

00:38:21.980 has to

00:38:22.300 be an

00:38:22.660 imaginary

00:38:23.140 world

00:38:23.740 that you

00:38:24.400 can put

00:38:24.760 yourself

00:38:25.120 into

00:38:25.440 to get

00:38:25.920 an effect

00:38:26.480 in other

00:38:27.120 words

00:38:27.280 you can

00:38:27.560 hack

00:38:27.880 your

00:38:28.060 brain

00:38:28.420 by simply

00:38:29.520 changing

00:38:30.100 your frame

00:38:30.800 you don't

00:38:31.960 have to

00:38:32.260 believe it

00:38:32.860 that's the

00:38:33.640 important part

00:38:34.540 you simply

00:38:35.320 have to spend

00:38:36.060 time thinking

00:38:36.820 in that way

00:38:37.780 to get

00:38:38.820 the result

00:38:39.980 yeah

00:38:41.920 ego death

00:38:42.880 is very

00:38:43.200 important

00:38:43.500 your ego

00:38:44.080 is what

00:38:44.500 usually holds

00:38:45.140 you back

00:38:45.540 because you're

00:38:46.200 afraid of

00:38:46.760 being embarrassed

00:38:47.440 you're afraid

00:38:48.460 of being rejected

00:38:49.220 you're afraid

00:38:49.860 of getting fired

00:38:50.640 and your ego

00:38:51.740 is what

00:38:52.340 makes you

00:38:54.020 afraid

00:38:54.440 because your

00:38:55.160 ego tells

00:38:55.720 you you're

00:38:56.100 important

00:38:56.500 the moment

00:38:58.000 you realize

00:38:58.540 you're

00:38:58.780 completely

00:38:59.200 unimportant

00:38:59.800 because the

00:39:01.020 universe is

00:39:01.620 just particles

00:39:02.240 bumping

00:39:02.680 around

00:39:03.020 then you

00:39:05.280 know you

00:39:05.600 can get

00:39:05.940 past those

00:39:06.620 fears

00:39:07.080 so these

00:39:07.920 fears will

00:39:08.700 hold you

00:39:09.720 back until

00:39:10.180 you learn

00:39:10.780 to kill

00:39:11.220 your ego

00:39:11.660 you might

00:39:12.500 use psychedelics

00:39:13.340 to do

00:39:13.640 that

00:39:13.880 shelf space

00:39:16.220 is the idea

00:39:16.940 that whatever

00:39:17.540 you spend

00:39:18.020 time thinking

00:39:18.660 about

00:39:19.160 crowds out

00:39:20.780 the other

00:39:21.540 thoughts

00:39:21.980 so if you

00:39:22.900 have a

00:39:23.360 natural

00:39:23.880 inclination

00:39:27.600 to think

00:39:28.060 negative

00:39:28.480 thoughts

00:39:29.080 there's

00:39:30.180 nothing

00:39:30.440 you can

00:39:30.820 do to

00:39:31.180 stop

00:39:31.620 negative

00:39:32.080 thoughts

00:39:32.660 directly

00:39:33.580 you can't

00:39:34.760 say stop

00:39:35.480 thinking about

00:39:36.120 that

00:39:36.360 that doesn't

00:39:36.820 work

00:39:37.140 that would

00:39:37.940 not be

00:39:38.360 a brain

00:39:38.700 hack

00:39:39.040 but you

00:39:39.740 can

00:39:40.120 fill up

00:39:41.320 all the

00:39:41.640 space

00:39:42.120 with your

00:39:43.180 own

00:39:43.380 thoughts

00:39:43.740 so you

00:39:44.320 can

00:39:44.500 actively

00:39:44.960 say

00:39:45.280 all right

00:39:45.560 I'm

00:39:45.760 going to

00:39:45.920 think

00:39:46.080 about

00:39:46.340 x

00:39:46.780 think

00:39:47.380 about

00:39:47.600 x

00:39:47.820 think

00:39:48.020 about

00:39:48.260 x

00:39:48.460 and you

00:39:48.700 find

00:39:48.920 some

00:39:49.860 kind

00:39:50.080 of

00:39:50.200 pleasant

00:39:50.640 hypothetical

00:39:51.200 thought

00:39:51.780 I would

00:39:52.260 often think

00:39:52.780 about

00:39:53.080 being invited

00:39:54.060 to the

00:39:54.420 White

00:39:54.580 House

00:39:54.880 for

00:39:55.640 decades

00:39:56.500 I would

00:39:57.380 think

00:39:57.640 all right

00:39:58.280 what would

00:39:58.860 I do

00:39:59.400 that would

00:40:00.340 cause me

00:40:00.720 to get

00:40:00.980 invited to

00:40:01.580 the White

00:40:01.860 House

00:40:02.100 because we

00:40:03.700 must live

00:40:04.140 in the

00:40:04.340 simulation

00:40:04.780 I eventually

00:40:05.820 got invited

00:40:06.380 to the

00:40:06.680 White

00:40:06.840 House

00:40:07.100 which is

00:40:07.600 weird

00:40:07.920 what are

00:40:08.840 the odds

00:40:09.140 of that

00:40:09.440 but it

00:40:10.980 doesn't

00:40:11.200 matter

00:40:11.420 it doesn't

00:40:14.140 have to

00:40:14.400 be something

00:40:14.740 you think

00:40:15.100 might happen

00:40:15.660 just think

00:40:16.620 of what

00:40:16.900 would be

00:40:17.160 the most

00:40:17.520 fun thing

00:40:18.140 that could

00:40:18.600 happen

00:40:18.980 and just

00:40:19.800 live in

00:40:20.280 that world

00:40:20.720 for a while

00:40:21.220 especially

00:40:21.600 if you're

00:40:21.920 trying to

00:40:22.160 go to

00:40:22.400 sleep

00:40:22.740 it will

00:40:23.500 just

00:40:23.680 crowd out

00:40:24.320 the bad

00:40:24.940 thoughts

00:40:25.300 and eventually

00:40:26.340 you learn

00:40:27.060 to

00:40:27.320 those bad

00:40:28.280 thoughts

00:40:28.560 will atrophy

00:40:29.280 after a while

00:40:29.980 because if

00:40:30.720 you don't

00:40:30.980 reinforce them

00:40:31.760 they will

00:40:33.380 shrink over

00:40:33.920 time

00:40:34.200 it might

00:40:34.520 take years

00:40:35.040 but they

00:40:35.440 will

00:40:35.600 optimism

00:40:36.600 is what

00:40:37.180 you fill

00:40:37.440 your shelf

00:40:38.340 space

00:40:38.640 with

00:40:38.960 the power

00:40:39.980 of positive

00:40:40.420 thinking

00:40:40.820 is extraordinarily

00:40:41.940 powerful

00:40:42.580 because if

00:40:43.580 you're a

00:40:43.880 positive

00:40:44.180 person

00:40:44.620 people want

00:40:45.140 to be

00:40:45.320 around

00:40:45.680 you

00:40:46.060 you're

00:40:46.780 going to

00:40:46.960 take the

00:40:47.260 right kind

00:40:47.580 of risks

00:40:48.040 you're

00:40:48.400 going to

00:40:49.020 not be

00:40:50.260 crushed

00:40:50.580 by failure

00:40:51.280 because you

00:40:52.020 say oh

00:40:52.540 I'll make

00:40:55.440 it next

00:40:55.720 time

00:40:55.980 optimism

00:40:56.940 is partly

00:40:58.240 I think

00:40:58.780 something

00:40:59.320 this natural

00:41:00.560 in some

00:41:01.600 people

00:41:01.980 but it

00:41:03.020 is my

00:41:03.360 experience

00:41:03.840 that you

00:41:04.200 can totally

00:41:04.760 hack

00:41:05.600 this is

00:41:06.420 one of

00:41:06.680 the most

00:41:07.000 hackable

00:41:07.680 elements

00:41:08.980 in the

00:41:09.380 whole

00:41:09.780 situation

00:41:10.400 you can

00:41:11.340 simply

00:41:11.860 act like

00:41:13.040 an optimist

00:41:13.780 and you

00:41:14.720 get the

00:41:15.060 same

00:41:15.300 results

00:41:15.940 and eventually

00:41:16.500 you become

00:41:16.980 one

00:41:17.280 so I

00:41:18.360 would say

00:41:18.680 that I

00:41:19.580 spent years

00:41:20.220 pretending

00:41:20.860 to be an

00:41:21.460 optimist

00:41:22.020 and now

00:41:22.980 I am

00:41:23.340 because it's

00:41:24.800 just my

00:41:25.200 reflex to

00:41:25.860 say oh

00:41:26.160 yeah

00:41:26.380 that's

00:41:27.040 some bad

00:41:27.460 news

00:41:27.920 but what

00:41:28.660 about all

00:41:29.040 this stuff

00:41:29.520 there's

00:41:30.000 going to

00:41:30.140 be some

00:41:30.420 good

00:41:30.640 stuff

00:41:30.960 so you

00:41:31.700 simply

00:41:32.060 build a

00:41:33.160 habit

00:41:33.600 a habit

00:41:34.820 of

00:41:35.820 optimism

00:41:36.240 you

00:41:37.160 simply

00:41:37.520 say

00:41:38.060 an

00:41:38.240 optimistic

00:41:38.680 thing

00:41:39.180 or you

00:41:40.100 think

00:41:40.540 an

00:41:40.700 optimistic

00:41:41.140 thing

00:41:41.620 as a

00:41:42.200 rule

00:41:42.540 if

00:41:43.300 anything

00:41:43.640 negative

00:41:44.100 comes out of

00:41:44.640 your mouth

00:41:44.960 this is one of the rules I try to follow

00:41:46.580 as best I can

00:41:48.640 if I have to say something negative

00:41:50.840 and we all have to sometimes

00:41:52.280 I try to come up with something positive

00:41:55.020 and it's just my rule

00:41:56.940 so that's a brain hack

00:41:58.600 say something negative

00:41:59.980 because you couldn't avoid it

00:42:01.140 boom

00:42:01.740 add a positive thing

00:42:03.020 fills up your shelf space

00:42:04.640 you want to also travel

00:42:07.540 and

00:42:08.220 you know

00:42:09.820 optionally

00:42:10.520 psychedelics

00:42:11.340 because the more

00:42:12.420 experiences you have

00:42:14.100 the more you understand

00:42:15.460 that your point of view

00:42:16.720 is

00:42:17.280 subjective

00:42:18.340 so if you travel

00:42:20.240 you meet other people

00:42:21.400 who see the world

00:42:22.600 so differently

00:42:23.320 and yet they can survive

00:42:25.320 and have families

00:42:26.060 and good lives

00:42:27.460 and you say

00:42:28.280 wait a minute

00:42:28.720 why is it that all these people

00:42:30.740 are seeing a completely

00:42:31.740 different reality

00:42:32.600 they've got a different religion

00:42:33.940 their beliefs

00:42:34.980 it's all different

00:42:35.760 and yet

00:42:36.320 they get along fine

00:42:37.860 their life is fine

00:42:39.580 you really have to experience that

00:42:41.760 to understand how subjective

00:42:43.640 your experience of life is

00:42:46.080 and of course

00:42:48.140 the talent stack

00:42:49.060 is a way to hack your brain

00:42:50.200 because you're adding talents

00:42:51.820 that are unique

00:42:53.040 I'm sorry

00:42:54.140 you're adding talents

00:42:55.360 that stack well together

00:42:57.120 they just work together well

00:42:58.720 that makes you unique

00:43:00.280 and that literally is changing

00:43:01.620 the structure of your brain

00:43:03.140 but if you have the right

00:43:05.740 talent stack

00:43:08.020 they will also form connections

00:43:10.520 that would not be obvious

00:43:11.860 now

00:43:12.700 an obvious connection

00:43:13.980 would be

00:43:14.360 let's say

00:43:14.820 you're good at engineering

00:43:16.260 and then you learn

00:43:17.700 to be a public speaker

00:43:18.820 well it's obvious

00:43:20.400 that those two

00:43:22.020 just go together

00:43:22.760 but that's all they do

00:43:23.680 they just work well together

00:43:24.820 but suppose you learned

00:43:27.220 physics

00:43:29.120 and

00:43:30.700 programming

00:43:31.720 you probably

00:43:33.700 would have more opportunity

00:43:35.000 to say

00:43:35.460 you know

00:43:35.840 nobody's ever done this

00:43:37.640 in programming before

00:43:38.680 but in the world of physics

00:43:40.460 they solve a problem

00:43:42.040 this way

00:43:42.640 I wonder if I could

00:43:43.660 learn something from physics

00:43:45.480 and then take it over

00:43:46.500 to this other field

00:43:47.480 even as an analogy

00:43:49.520 to sort of brainstorm

00:43:50.640 and then come up

00:43:51.620 with a solution

00:43:52.160 so a talent stack

00:43:53.880 will allow you

00:43:55.600 to have accidental connections

00:43:57.500 that can be very valuable

00:43:59.060 and here's the fun part

00:44:01.060 these are

00:44:01.560 these are actually

00:44:02.320 like physical changes

00:44:03.580 in your brain

00:44:04.200 everything you learn

00:44:05.540 is a physical change

00:44:06.600 in your brain

00:44:07.020 otherwise

00:44:07.340 it wouldn't be maintained

00:44:09.100 you need to learn

00:44:10.580 persuasion

00:44:11.400 the whole topic

00:44:12.740 because it allows you

00:44:13.940 to see it

00:44:14.720 and recognize it

00:44:15.640 and then

00:44:16.420 you know

00:44:16.900 act more

00:44:17.620 act more effectively

00:44:19.240 so this is more

00:44:20.280 of a catch-all

00:44:20.920 visualizing is very important

00:44:22.680 you want to visualize

00:44:23.700 exactly what it is

00:44:24.980 that you want

00:44:25.760 if you want

00:44:27.340 something specific

00:44:28.180 just think about it

00:44:29.880 visualize it

00:44:30.920 you could call this

00:44:32.760 affirmations

00:44:34.020 the act of

00:44:35.200 writing down

00:44:36.420 and visualizing

00:44:37.280 your goal

00:44:38.020 15 times a day

00:44:39.220 you write it down

00:44:39.860 15 times a day

00:44:40.760 and visualize it

00:44:41.960 very important

00:44:42.960 because your brain

00:44:44.540 is a visual engine

00:44:45.640 and so if you get

00:44:46.980 your visual

00:44:47.760 focus on

00:44:49.380 and this is really

00:44:50.540 related to focus

00:44:51.460 as well

00:44:51.860 so if you've got

00:44:52.800 a visual element

00:44:53.940 to your focus

00:44:54.780 it improves your focus

00:44:55.940 and you get

00:44:56.380 all those benefits

00:44:56.980 I also recommend

00:44:59.000 having stories

00:44:59.940 of you

00:45:00.600 which is

00:45:01.940 to cobble together

00:45:03.540 the stories

00:45:04.320 of your life

00:45:05.120 that in your opinion

00:45:06.840 would represent you

00:45:08.420 and you can

00:45:09.860 you have the option

00:45:10.600 of forgetting

00:45:11.140 the stories

00:45:11.780 that would be

00:45:12.360 inconvenient

00:45:12.880 or you wouldn't

00:45:14.180 like what that

00:45:14.860 did to you

00:45:15.360 now of course

00:45:16.320 those bad stories

00:45:17.500 may well be part

00:45:19.100 of your current

00:45:19.840 personality

00:45:20.480 but you can choose

00:45:22.180 to sort of

00:45:23.700 craft yourself

00:45:24.640 into the version

00:45:25.500 you want to be

00:45:26.380 by simply deciding

00:45:27.760 which stories

00:45:28.660 define you

00:45:29.980 I told you that

00:45:31.040 my stories

00:45:32.260 have me winning

00:45:33.780 against all odds

00:45:35.140 and indeed

00:45:36.580 I experience it

00:45:38.740 in my real life

00:45:40.080 I seem to win

00:45:41.620 against all odds

00:45:42.600 fairly consistently

00:45:44.300 way more than

00:45:45.760 any kind of

00:45:47.120 statistical

00:45:48.160 probability

00:45:49.020 would suggest

00:45:50.000 I assume

00:45:51.000 it's just

00:45:51.440 psychological

00:45:52.680 and it could

00:45:53.880 all be explained

00:45:54.540 somehow

00:45:54.920 but

00:45:55.740 make some stories

00:45:57.760 of you

00:45:58.240 that turn you

00:45:59.580 into the person

00:46:00.240 you want to be

00:46:00.860 and then of course

00:46:03.160 setting your priorities

00:46:04.240 is how you

00:46:05.120 tune your brain

00:46:06.080 to decide

00:46:07.240 what's important

00:46:07.880 and manage

00:46:09.700 everything else

00:46:10.360 so those are

00:46:12.320 the main

00:46:13.980 hacking techniques

00:46:16.240 if I thought

00:46:17.140 about it

00:46:17.560 I could probably

00:46:18.080 think of a half

00:46:19.040 a dozen

00:46:19.400 or a dozen

00:46:19.960 more

00:46:20.300 but these are

00:46:21.520 the ones I use

00:46:22.220 and I would say

00:46:23.560 that you're not

00:46:24.000 going to get

00:46:24.380 some gigantic

00:46:25.280 benefit on day

00:46:26.380 one

00:46:26.740 these are the

00:46:27.980 things that you

00:46:28.640 should find

00:46:29.320 find a way

00:46:30.580 to use

00:46:31.500 all of your

00:46:32.060 life

00:46:32.460 when I became

00:46:34.860 a trained hypnotist

00:46:36.060 and I could see

00:46:37.400 the actual

00:46:38.120 mechanical

00:46:39.540 let's say

00:46:41.760 reality of your

00:46:42.700 brain

00:46:43.080 that

00:46:44.060 the way

00:46:45.420 hypnotists work

00:46:46.380 is they don't

00:46:47.540 have a belief

00:46:48.220 system

00:46:48.700 that's important

00:46:49.520 anyway

00:46:49.860 so

00:46:50.640 hypnosis

00:46:51.200 is just

00:46:51.880 a set

00:46:52.460 of techniques

00:46:53.300 that have been

00:46:55.160 figured out

00:46:55.740 over time

00:46:56.360 and the hypnotist

00:46:58.340 knows

00:46:58.600 well when I do

00:46:59.300 this

00:46:59.780 I get this

00:47:01.040 kind of outcome

00:47:01.760 and that's

00:47:02.740 really

00:47:03.020 that's what

00:47:03.820 it is

00:47:04.200 so it's very

00:47:04.940 much like

00:47:05.320 programming

00:47:05.820 so

00:47:07.180 you know

00:47:07.840 if you're

00:47:08.160 programming

00:47:08.580 a computer

00:47:09.240 you don't

00:47:10.380 say

00:47:10.700 well

00:47:11.200 what will

00:47:11.720 be the

00:47:12.080 motivation

00:47:12.680 of the

00:47:14.300 of the

00:47:14.900 hardware

00:47:15.260 when it

00:47:16.180 sees my

00:47:16.700 code

00:47:17.120 it doesn't

00:47:19.080 have motivation

00:47:19.740 it just

00:47:20.220 executes

00:47:20.820 the code

00:47:21.300 and a

00:47:22.480 hypnotist

00:47:22.960 learns

00:47:23.320 that the

00:47:23.840 human

00:47:24.160 mind

00:47:24.480 is just

00:47:24.900 like that

00:47:25.400 the human

00:47:26.500 mind

00:47:26.980 artificially

00:47:28.240 assigns

00:47:28.760 reasons

00:47:29.260 to things

00:47:29.900 but the

00:47:30.900 reasons

00:47:31.240 aren't

00:47:31.520 real

00:47:31.860 they're

00:47:32.540 rationalizations

00:47:33.580 after the

00:47:34.080 fact

00:47:34.380 the

00:47:35.200 reason

00:47:36.460 that the

00:47:36.980 brain

00:47:37.300 did it

00:47:37.720 is because

00:47:38.260 some software

00:47:39.820 was introduced

00:47:40.460 that's all

00:47:41.060 your brain

00:47:42.140 just did

00:47:42.500 what the

00:47:42.820 software

00:47:43.120 told it

00:47:43.560 to do

00:47:43.900 and then

00:47:44.500 after that

00:47:45.040 you say

00:47:45.280 well the

00:47:45.580 reason I

00:47:46.020 did this

00:47:46.540 is because

00:47:47.300 my priorities

00:47:48.120 and my

00:47:48.520 philosophy

00:47:48.920 and all

00:47:49.220 that

00:47:49.420 but it's

00:47:49.680 not real

00:47:50.080 all right

00:47:51.640 somebody just

00:47:56.560 said in

00:47:56.920 the comments

00:47:57.400 this is

00:47:57.960 an amazing

00:47:58.400 chat group

00:47:59.000 except for

00:47:59.440 all the

00:47:59.680 trolls

00:48:00.000 true

00:48:02.000 enough

00:48:02.380 all right

00:48:06.460 I'm just

00:48:06.720 looking at

00:48:07.100 some of your

00:48:07.420 comments to

00:48:08.040 see if any

00:48:08.420 of this

00:48:08.660 was good

00:48:10.020 for you

00:48:10.560 it looks

00:48:11.300 like some

00:48:11.700 of you got

00:48:12.200 something out

00:48:12.640 of this

00:48:12.900 good

00:48:13.320 yeah Norman

00:48:14.720 Vincent Peale

00:48:15.440 was the

00:48:16.020 author of

00:48:16.520 the power

00:48:16.920 of positive

00:48:17.420 thinking

00:48:17.840 that President

00:48:18.940 Trump

00:48:19.380 was influenced

00:48:21.260 by as

00:48:22.280 was I

00:48:23.140 and I

00:48:27.000 will see

00:48:27.480 you tomorrow

00:48:28.420 you know

00:48:29.200 where to

00:48:29.440 find me

00:48:30.260 now I

00:48:31.880 don't want

00:48:32.160 to turn

00:48:32.420 it off

00:48:32.780 because I'm

00:48:34.100 getting compliments

00:48:34.840 now so

00:48:36.200 hold on for a

00:48:37.000 second I have

00:48:37.680 to read the

00:48:38.080 compliments

00:48:38.500 because

00:48:39.900 as much

00:48:43.060 as managing

00:48:44.160 your ego

00:48:44.980 is important

00:48:46.820 you know

00:48:47.920 and I

00:48:48.360 I'm very

00:48:49.380 much about

00:48:49.960 being able

00:48:50.460 to turn

00:48:50.820 it down

00:48:51.120 to zero

00:48:51.600 but

00:48:53.060 it's also

00:48:54.760 good for

00:48:55.240 your motivation

00:48:56.440 and your

00:48:56.840 energy

00:48:57.180 if you do

00:48:58.460 something well

00:48:59.220 and somebody

00:48:59.920 notices it

00:49:00.720 so I'm

00:49:01.040 actually just

00:49:01.500 sort of

00:49:01.860 enjoying

00:49:02.400 the fact

00:49:03.480 that people

00:49:03.960 were happy

00:49:04.620 about what

00:49:05.160 they saw

00:49:05.500 today

00:49:05.740 very

00:49:06.520 motivating

00:49:06.880 you know

00:49:07.980 I told you

00:49:08.380 that the

00:49:08.740 thing you

00:49:09.100 should

00:49:09.320 the one

00:49:10.020 metric in

00:49:10.680 your life

00:49:11.040 that you

00:49:11.300 should track

00:49:11.820 is your

00:49:12.160 energy

00:49:12.540 so follow

00:49:14.340 your energy

00:49:14.920 it's the

00:49:16.060 most reliable

00:49:17.360 you know

00:49:18.700 guide for

00:49:19.900 where to

00:49:20.280 go

00:49:20.540 and doing

00:49:22.080 this

00:49:22.540 the reason

00:49:23.580 I do

00:49:23.880 these

00:49:24.100 periscopes

00:49:24.600 is because

00:49:25.020 I follow

00:49:25.420 my energy

00:49:25.960 there was

00:49:26.920 no plan

00:49:27.460 beyond that

00:49:28.160 except I

00:49:28.820 would learn

00:49:29.160 some stuff

00:49:29.600 I guess

00:49:29.920 but I do

00:49:32.140 enjoy this

00:49:32.660 tremendously

00:49:33.360 all right

00:49:34.180 you're going

00:49:34.980 to have a

00:49:35.480 great night

00:49:36.060 sleep tonight

00:49:36.640 you're going

00:49:37.460 to be thinking

00:49:37.920 about all

00:49:38.420 the things

00:49:38.980 you'll probably

00:49:39.460 try some

00:49:40.000 of these

00:49:40.280 techniques

00:49:40.800 before you

00:49:41.420 drift off

00:49:43.420 if there's

00:49:44.320 one that

00:49:44.660 you could

00:49:44.960 do that

00:49:45.440 would be

00:49:45.700 the most

00:49:46.060 important

00:49:46.520 to get

00:49:47.100 to sleep

00:49:47.580 it's the

00:49:48.460 shelf space

00:49:49.200 one

00:49:49.500 think about

00:49:50.520 shelf space

00:49:51.320 and then

00:49:52.120 consciously

00:49:52.820 fill it

00:49:53.500 with the

00:49:54.420 coolest

00:49:54.760 thoughts

00:49:55.180 you can

00:49:55.480 think of

00:49:56.000 don't worry

00:49:57.160 about what

00:49:57.540 you're doing

00:49:57.820 tomorrow

00:49:58.340 don't do

00:49:59.340 the list

00:49:59.880 don't think

00:50:00.740 about tomorrow's

00:50:01.500 day

00:50:01.860 that's the

00:50:02.940 worst thing

00:50:03.420 you can do

00:50:03.840 think about

00:50:04.660 some purely

00:50:05.480 imaginary

00:50:06.120 fun thing

00:50:07.240 that might

00:50:07.800 never happen

00:50:08.440 but wouldn't

00:50:08.900 it be cool

00:50:09.380 if it did

00:50:09.920 and take

00:50:11.440 that thought

00:50:12.000 to bed

00:50:12.700 tonight

00:50:13.060 and I

00:50:13.900 will talk

00:50:14.260 to you

00:50:14.660 in the

00:50:15.600 morning
