00:46:57.840I just want to preface this interview by saying I've been reading your stuff for a while.
00:47:01.700I've been watching your videos for quite a while.
00:47:03.980And I think you have a lot of insight on the masculine experience that other people have not or nobody's really touched upon.
00:47:11.640And I've even, I'll be honest, I've used some of your ideas, some of your themes, especially your ideas of masculinity and how a meth head has so much in common with a billionaire CEO because they have all this energy that they're channeling into the wrong place.
00:47:29.260The importance of risk and diet and especially, like, how men need to almost embrace their animal nature to be happy.
00:47:40.660And I think your sorts of insights have stuck with me.
00:47:43.820And it's refreshing to see that, you know, on Twitter where everything is repetitive and everybody kind of repeats each other's opinions.
00:47:52.040I think you have a refreshing perspective.
00:47:56.760It's ironic, too, because the masculine experience is largely found in the feminine realm.
00:48:04.660So, you know, guys get it twisted and they think that the quickest road, the quickest shortcut to masculinity is to gloss over all of your flaws and all of your character issues with money.
00:50:23.980And a lot of men are afraid to push themselves into the end limits of their mind and imagination in order to plunge the knowledge and wisdom that is a prerequisite to get the kind of respect that all men are after.
00:50:38.320For me, my journey started with strength training.
00:50:42.700Strength training was simply a platform and a forum for me to turn myself into a weapon.
00:50:49.200And when I was in the gym, the only reason, the only interest that I had in getting stronger and putting a bunch of physical strength on top of my organism was so that I could experience hardcore voyaging in my mind.
00:51:03.840I am hardwired to be a risk taker by nature.
00:51:17.640And in order to endure the torture and the pain of taking some of the high risk ventures that I've embarked on, I realized very quickly that I needed a reservoir of strength to tap into.
00:51:29.920And I've noticed that when the physical body is a lot stronger than the average person, it's a lot harder to break your mind.
00:51:37.120So those two things are very interlocked and interconnected.
00:51:40.460And if you if you don't strength train your body, you're leaving a lot on the table because my mind doesn't break.
00:51:48.820I have been through scenarios and situations where I've lost everything and was literally cleaving on to dear life.
00:51:55.560And I attribute my physical strength as a huge part of the reason why my mind was not able to shatter in those instances.
00:52:04.600How do you think somebody can get out of depression?
00:52:10.960Man, you know, what's funny is I said I had a tweet a couple months ago.
00:52:25.220And it's very true because men truly men of distinction.
00:52:32.140I want to say men that men that are phenomenal at their craft and that are outliers usually have a very under undertones, kind of this mysterious driver in their unconscious of depression.
00:54:54.220In public, I am 100% all about courtesy, parlor, etiquette, being polite.
00:54:59.240But in the laboratory, in my private fucking sanctuary, in my domain, I mean, bro, there's times where, you know, I'll lose a million dollar bet and I'll wipe the entire appliances off the kitchen table and just swipe them off.
00:55:14.560There's times I go absolutely fucking ballistic.
00:55:17.360And I think a lot of guys actually crave this sort of emotional outburst.
00:55:21.300I think there's a lot of men that are very pent up.
00:55:23.260I think there's a lot of men that have these extremely incendiary emotions and they don't really know how to apply it.
00:55:30.480And I think in the laboratory is where we as men get to sort of express that.
00:55:34.460You know, I had a joke that CrossFit, that the emergence of CrossFit was sort of a cultural token because what it did is it allowed men to be men in the fucking gym without, you know, you can go in.
00:55:47.280It's one of the few gyms in the world where you can go in there, take your fucking T-shirt off.
00:55:50.980No one cares if you're screaming in between reps.
00:55:53.220If you want to slam bars on the floor, you can do that.
00:57:22.720I think a good woman is the calm in your storm because, you know, I saw a video recently of Djokovic, who I consider one of the greatest athletes of all time, tennis player.
00:57:33.500He was he went home to Serbia after winning one of the major events and he took home the title.
00:57:40.600And when he got home to Serbia, he got up on the pulpit and he was crying, crying relentlessly.
00:57:47.640Tears were fucking streaming down his face and he was being embraced by thousands of people live.
00:57:52.880And it really, really intensified the moment.
00:57:55.540And when I saw that video, it dawned on me that a very powerful, strong man is able to emote in ways that an average man would be penalized for.
00:58:08.640If you are a man of value and you have a lot of strength and you're at the top of the game, you actually have permission to be emotive in a way that nobody does not put a stain on your reputation whatsoever.
00:58:23.920If a guy like Djokovic, if a guy like Mike Tyson is crying, everybody knows to tighten the belts because this moment is going to be intense.
00:58:45.080I watched the Tyson documentary and in that documentary, Mike Tyson literally has moments where he's having emotional breakdowns and he's tearing up on camera.
00:58:54.540There is not one person, creature, beast on this earth who saw those tears fall from Mike Tyson's eyes that thought Mike Tyson was a pussy.
00:59:04.000I guarantee you that there's not one person that looked at Mike Tyson and was like, ah, this guy's a bitch.
00:59:46.140I have put all my character points, so to speak, into risk taking, because like I said in the earlier part of the show, as a man, losing money has zero effect on my mental state.
00:59:58.760When I was broke and I was on the come up in my life, I was pushing doors open and opening avenues for myself that I'm opening now without money.
01:00:08.300Money is truly not the fucking hall pass that people think it is into all these alternate realms.
01:00:16.540And if you're a cool guy and you work on these experiences, you will 100% penetrate the correct circles and people will bring you up to where you're supposed to be.
01:00:25.160And that's the thing is like when I was broke, I arguably got more.
01:00:29.220I arguably had more success in a lot of social realms when I was broke just by being a cool guy than I did when I had money.
01:01:26.700Mom was out doing whatever the fuck she was doing.
01:01:29.000But the household was very, very chaotic.
01:01:33.060There was fighting and screaming almost every day of my upbringing.
01:01:36.600And when I was 17, I was given an ultimatum that if I didn't go to college full time, that I basically had to pack my bags and get the fuck out of the house.
01:02:20.840I couldn't express myself the way I wanted to express myself.
01:02:23.720And when I left at 17 and I started talking, like I said, and doing the things that I wanted to do, life completely zoomed in and went full scope for me.
01:02:33.980And I started to very, very quickly start achieving the things that I wanted in life.
01:02:38.260And it started with just speaking my fucking mind and just being able to finally uncensor myself and really just be me and own up to everything that I am and that I wanted to do.
01:02:49.680And in that journey, I realized one of the biggest fatal flaws that we make as men is trying to fix ourselves, trying to constantly do self-help work and fix ourselves and make little incisions in our personality and change things around and do the self-help work, deep introspection.
01:03:09.940That shit fucks men up emotionally more than any other fucking thing.
01:03:14.600It is the biggest fucking problem right now in society is men not accepting themselves for who they truly are and trying to be somebody they're not and constantly change themselves.
01:03:23.820The best of the best, if you are striving for greatness as a man, you have no choice but to accept your character flaws and integrate them.
01:03:33.700The key is to integrate your character flaws into the good habits that you have because all the greats have horrible habits.
01:03:40.180Yeah. Yeah. Sex addiction or drug addiction or they're like, you know, narcissistic or something.
01:03:47.080There's some there's something off about them.
01:03:48.960People always think that they're quirky or that they're outsiders to some extent.
01:03:52.380And then people are able to write about it and talk about their unique personality.
01:03:57.560And so what happens is when you go into the self-help game and you start trying to pick apart yourself and start start really deeply looking at who you are.
01:04:05.620A lot of these things that you see the problem with life is you don't know when you remove a personality trait, you're disrupting the entire structure of the human organism.
01:04:16.600So you don't know by removing this one part about yourself, you might be removing 10 other beautiful things as well.
01:04:23.140It's basically like playing a game of Jenga.
01:04:27.080Eventually you're going to topple the entire structure.
01:04:29.220And so life as a man is very much about learning.
01:04:34.060And this is this is where the mental aspect really comes into play, because this takes a lot of blood, sweat, tears and experimentation is figuring out how to rock up the mountain anyway with the flaws.
01:04:57.720It could just be that it's a flaw in the environment that you're in.
01:05:01.300For example, a lot of guys get told that they have ADHD and then they try to medicate it.
01:05:06.220They try to fix you with with Ritalin and Adderall.
01:05:09.420And I think one of the big one of the big deciding factors and me becoming more successful was was leaning into that flaw, figuring out like why people said I had ADHD and then realizing what I need to do to fit my personality towards my work.
01:05:23.740And if I didn't do that, if I had just stayed medicated and I listened to them, went to therapy, talked to the counselor and tried to suppress that and become more normal and adjust the flaws, I would have been a robot working a job that I never wanted to work.
01:05:57.040But if you're obsessed with something and you find a project you love, you can buckle down and chop away at it like nobody's business.
01:06:04.560And that's the thing with ADHD is people are trying to focus on tasks that are not congruent with their nature.
01:06:12.200You know what I mean? But if you put an ADHD dude in front of a project that he loves, this dude can work like a fucking machine for 24 straight hours with no breaks.
01:06:20.760And he's happy. He finds contentment in that.
01:06:23.560Elon Musk, classic example of an ADHD motherfucker, loves to feel the breath of death on his neck.
01:06:30.380Loves it. Loves to take to bite off more than you can chew.
01:06:34.280Take on the biggest challenges in life.
01:06:36.260And he's he's a guy who understands fundamentally that as a man, you have to weigh overshoot your targets in life to succeed because you're you're only going to get a fraction of what you shoot for in life.
01:06:49.440You're only going to get a tiny little sliver of it.
01:06:52.020So you might as well shoot miles past whatever you think your initial target is.
01:06:56.900This is why I always told the young dudes never, ever make it a goal to get a Lamborghini or a Porsche or a house in in the fucking Riviera because there's no direct path to it.
01:07:08.380Everything you want in life as a man, you get laterally, which means as you climb up the mountain and as you shoot for these huge targets, one morning you wake up and you just find yourself in the Lamborghini.
01:07:20.380You just find yourself in the Porsche.
01:11:18.300They're fucking watching housewives, fucking cussing like sailors, learning just all the fucking shit that you don't want your woman to learn.
01:11:27.120So as a man in the modern world to succeed with women.
01:11:31.280And this kind of is a counter philosophy to the kind of the mainstream narrative right now.
01:11:35.200You have to be around your woman constantly, constantly.
01:11:39.700You have to lord over and preside over the household in order to establish authority.
01:11:44.180A woman should be literally like the pet monkey on your shoulder, literally in the modern world, because if you leave them alone for too long, I'm dead serious.
01:11:52.340There's a hundred other corporations and media interests that are going to program your girl the wrong way.
01:11:57.560And that's why I said and this was an interesting insight that I had.
01:12:00.980That's why I said that the losers actually, if you notice, losers clean up with women more than dudes in the middle.
01:12:07.280Losers really don't have trouble getting laid.
01:12:09.960And I think it's a product of the fact that in the modern world, losers have the time to basically be fun and spend all this time with women.
01:12:18.760And that's all women really want at the end of the day is just fun.
01:12:21.560All they all women really want is a fun guy.
01:12:23.700And losers have the time to fucking hang around them and be funny, charming, whatever the fuck it is.
01:12:29.660Dudes in the middle who are pencil pushers and go into a corporate gig, they don't have that luxury.
01:12:35.380So that's why I said the loser and the winner are much more intersected in the modern world than they ever have been before.
01:12:41.440Because losers ultimately do have the freedom that a lot of winners have.
01:12:46.560They don't have a boss fucking barking down their neck.
01:12:49.160They can pretty much do whatever the fuck they want.
01:12:51.160If they're unemployed, if they're on fucking food stamps, at least they have the time to invest in being a fun, charming, witty, funny, whatever the fuck it is.
01:13:15.680If somebody right now is listening to this and they don't have a sense of self or personality, you know, they're not the life of the party.
01:13:53.340So you got a bunch of guys who are going after women they don't even really like because they know if there's a breakup, it just ain't going to sting that bad because you didn't really like her anyway.
01:14:04.100But a real man goes after the type of woman doesn't settle, refuses to lower his standards, finds a baddie that he really likes because he knows if that woman actually does walk away, it's going to fucking hurt.
01:14:18.740And that's the whole key to being a cool dude is putting yourself in positions where if you fail, it's actually going to fucking hurt in your heart.
01:14:29.240And that's why I said wearing your heart on your sleeve is so fucking important because it means that you're actually going after what you want in life.
01:14:37.880Not what some other motherfucker told you to do, not what your parents told you to do, what you want to do.
01:14:42.440I mean, look, I've watched World Series of Poker.
01:14:50.100A lot of those guys are classically archetypal nerds.
01:15:05.040They even look like nerds, but you don't think of them.
01:15:08.500You don't think of them as nerds when they're shoving chips across the felt for 10 milli.
01:15:13.960So that's where I kind of came up with the concept of seeing these things in nature.
01:15:17.860I'm like, look, once the stakes are high enough, you're no longer a nerd.
01:15:23.500Because nerds, even nerd hobbies, are risk-free.
01:15:26.780There's no blood stake investment in it.
01:15:30.420It's like you're sitting at home collecting cards or whatever the fuck you collect.
01:15:33.860There's just no fucking, there's nothing you can lose.
01:15:38.400There has to be a risk of loss and heartbreak.
01:15:41.740That's probably why women are kind of disgusted and almost hurt when they see that their husband's or boyfriend's hobby is like fantasy football.
01:16:19.540And I was like, bro, you have to understand the impulsive behavior resembles high testosterone.
01:16:25.220It's like a biology hack in the female's brain that they, they, they just fucking perceive the impulsive behavior as this guy's a fucking maniac.
01:16:33.820But there's real risk there is the fucking point.
01:16:37.780So it's like, yes, dude, you're a hundred percent accurate.
01:16:39.880But these guys that are sitting at home playing these fucking low stakes games that, bro, it is the biggest, like the biggest way to cuck yourself in this life is to never sit at the big boys table and fucking Annie up.
01:16:56.100And that's the problem is like most of these young guys, bro, they just, they get in a cycle of playing for low stakes their whole fucking life.
01:17:03.600Everything is for low stakes and you have to increase the Annie.
01:17:08.680And that's a metaphor, meaning you got to raise your standards with women.
01:17:12.200You got to raise your standards with denominations, the currency that you deal with.
01:18:18.780Nobody's going to offer you these adventures.
01:18:20.780As a man, you have to create them yourself.
01:18:22.660And so as financial pressure and putting yourself in positions where you have to perform to eat is one of the most beneficial things that a man can do.
01:18:44.640That's when you're at your most creative.
01:18:45.900And you start coming up with ideas that you never knew you even had or were capable of.
01:18:50.020Yeah, even like back in middle school and high school, the people that got their homework done are the people that put it off to the last second.
01:18:55.780Like if you have something due for two weeks, you don't do it to the last day and somehow you pull it off in the last second.
01:19:00.520So, yeah, putting that pressure on yourself.
01:19:03.760What type of adventures, what type of high-risk situations that weren't financial have you taken?
01:21:18.540You're just fucking, you're a maniac because you have to make something happen.
01:21:21.440And when you're doing sales and you need to make a sale more than the other person on the end of the phone needs to say no, it's incredible.
01:21:29.520The energy, they can feel you like a fucking wolf breathing on the other end of the phone, how powerful that energy source is.
01:21:36.580Everyone starts fucking yielding to you.
01:21:39.200The whole universe starts to fucking bend to you when you have that necessity.
01:21:44.220And that's been like a premise of mine for a long time is that as men, we do not change until we have to.
01:21:51.440Necessity truly is the mother of all invention.
01:21:53.940You will never invent a new vehicle or a new way of living until you truly have to as a man.
01:21:59.080Because homeostasis is our natural state.
01:22:03.060Your body just wants to, let's be honest, the human organism really just wants to have sex, sit in the sun, fuck around and maybe make some cave paintings.
01:22:12.860Fundamentally, that's all we really want to do.
01:22:14.520But to push beyond that homeostasis into these states that I'm talking about where greatness can be fostered, you have to be willing to subject yourself to these crucibles and gauntlets that society is no longer going to offer you.
01:22:27.640So you got to you got to play head games with yourself is what I'm saying as if you really want to be successful, you have to invent your own games to make life a little bit more difficult and then find a way to battle through the challenge.
01:23:08.720It's almost like you have to devolve yourself to evolve.
01:23:11.580Like you need to do the hunter to go back to caveman times a little bit to hunter gather mindset in order to to become somebody that's not, you know, cookie cutter to become somebody that isn't a product of of the feminized society that we're in.
01:23:30.120Like if you want that beautiful mind and you want to really shake up your perspectives in life and really understand sort of like what we're made of and what humanity is made of and what the what this whole game of life is, you have to be willing to put yourself in these immense pressure situations and see if you can slaughter and slash and hack your way out.
01:23:51.720The beauty of it is in the modern world, if you put yourself in those situations and you fail, you can go right back to the middle to some fucking cushy job.
01:24:08.000You could go shower at the beach if you had to, and you could fucking rent an office space and sleep on a blow up bed like restarting as a man ain't even that difficult now.
01:24:16.840So it's like you can pursue any of the wildest dreams that you could possibly fathom.
01:25:02.700And this is, this is like another thing that like people will DM me and they're like, dude, I want to live more like you.
01:25:07.660And I'm like, brother, if you were in my shoes, I promise you in five fucking minutes, you'd be tapping out, screaming uncle, wanting your old life back.
01:25:14.380Like, because heavy is the head that wears the crown.
01:25:16.820I got a tremendous amount of responsibility.
01:25:44.960I am betting between 200,000 to a million dollars a day on sports every day.
01:25:50.380How do you not become, I've seen a lot of people that become addicted to gambling and their dopamine receptors get so fried that they don't really have the motivation or the drive to do anything else besides gambling.
01:26:02.660Because like the excitement that you get from high level gambling, like putting 50,000 on each hand, I've seen people play blackjack, like 50,000, 50,000, 50,000, 50,000.
01:26:27.360That was, so the hardest art that I mastered was when I was, cause I, I was, I was one of the best Olympic lifters in the country when I was younger.
01:26:35.920When I was strength training, I was snatching like 300 pounds or like 180 pounds body weight.
01:26:40.880I had a massive clean and jerk, ridiculous numbers for a natural athlete.
01:26:45.480And when I would go in there for my training sessions, I would have sometimes my entire net worth on games that were literally going live while I'm trying to snatch 300 pounds.
01:26:57.080And if you've ever done an Olympic lift, you know how much focus you actually need to execute a lift.
01:27:19.340It was a category five hurricane when I was lifting.
01:27:22.760And I still figured out a way to adapt it and integrate it all together and combine those two kind of opposing forces and make it work for myself.
01:27:32.700But look, man, I think the whole dopamine thing is very interesting.
01:27:37.220I think to succeed in the modern world, you pretty much have to have fried dopamine receptors, which I think is interesting.
01:27:56.940Any successful motherfucker has a crippling phone addiction.
01:27:59.580And you know what's really funny is the busiest people that I know, the most successful, busiest dudes that I know respond instantly to text messages.
01:28:09.400And it's the fucking losers who have nothing going on that take like three or four hours.
01:28:19.120Because, dude, because it goes back to the Benjamin Franklin quote.
01:28:21.980He's got one of the greatest quotes ever.
01:28:23.320He said, if you want to get something done, ask a busy person, if you want to get something done, ask a busy person, because there some of these dudes just have this godlike energy, man.
01:29:46.880Professionals 100% perform in imperfect conditions.
01:29:50.120And I've always, from an early age, had this intuition that, as a man, it's very important for me to train in the roughest, toughest conditions.
01:29:59.520That way, when it's time for me to go into the arena, in the actual battleground, I'm already prepared.
01:30:05.680It's easy to fight one Mike Tyson when you've trained to fight 10 of them.
01:30:12.100So, I've always put myself in the most arduous conditions I could do and still figured out a way to perform anyway.
01:30:19.800And I do think the ROI on that has been insane.
01:30:23.480How do you become a more high-performing man if you're – do you think a lot of this is innate?
01:30:31.560Do you think a lot of this is like – it's obviously a high-testosterone trait to be risk-seeking and to be high-performing and be able to handle a lot of stress.
01:30:40.180How do men develop that if they fall under pressure?
01:30:44.400Is it impossible for them or do they just – how do they raise their energy levels?
01:30:50.720No, let me tell you something, brother.
01:30:52.060I do think there's something that 100% supersedes testosterone, hormones.
01:30:57.640There's nothing in the world that can compete against the human spirit.
01:31:03.000Everything comes down to the human spirit, brother.
01:32:03.520And so my thesis and why I'm so high performing, I'm still strong as fuck in the gym,
01:32:08.920is that the human spirit is like an auxiliary reservoir of testosterone.
01:32:14.440If you have the human spirit, you can literally push through anything and you are more resilient than any cocktail hormone you could possibly inject in your body.
01:33:44.380Like, as a man, you have to be able to impose mental violence on yourself.
01:33:49.700You have to be able to kind of preach yourself like a slave and fucking whip and chain yourself to get you to do shit that you don't want to do.
01:33:58.420I mean, Conor McGregor is a fantastic example of this.
01:34:03.780That's a guy who literally emotionally dominated the fuck out of himself to get to the position that he's in in life.
01:34:12.980You can see in his fights the way his mindset just absolutely lacerating himself emotionally and dominating and putting those grooves in his brain that he's fucking worthy of getting those fucking titles.
01:34:27.400And that literally is the entire game as a man.
01:34:30.420It's completely 24 hours a day brainwashing yourself that you are the guy.
01:35:55.800Because living externally, it's funny that I've never heard it phrased that way.
01:36:02.420But living externally, if a man's performance is judged by the public, then to some extent, you need to live externally.
01:36:11.320And you need to kind of – you base yourself – you base your perception on how other people view you, which isn't that a feminine way to live life?
01:36:19.760Because women look around and even though they can believe whatever they want, no one really cares, it's all on their beauty.
01:36:25.260So in some ways, they do live externally quite a bit, but based on their appearance.
01:36:30.900Is living externally and living for other people in that way, is that feminine?
01:36:37.500No, it's masculine because men are afflictors.
01:36:40.900So men are designed by nature to afflict.
01:36:44.300We are designed to afflict outward whatever our dreams, whatever our goals are.
01:36:49.480We are designed to put them and fucking literally put craters into the fucking physical realm.
01:36:54.720This is why whenever you see warfare, ancient warfare, the first thing that happens in war when a nation comes in and conquers an inferior army is they – what do they do when they go into the new city?
01:37:07.280They ransack everything and they destroy the art.
01:37:10.960They destroy the art is the first thing that they do.
01:37:13.800They remove every trace and every memory connected to the sculptures, the statues, the art that's been left behind.
01:37:20.640Because men externalize the visions and prophecies in their head in the form of art, which is externalization.
01:37:57.900Leaving an actual mark in the fucking physical realm is the name of the game.
01:38:02.660You can toss around all the beautiful ideas you have in your head all you want.
01:38:07.500Until it's actually fucking real and tangible, it's valueless.
01:38:11.920How do you self-delude yourself, you personally?
01:38:16.640I've told – my chat, for example, that they're pretty – they know how I do it, but how do you do it?
01:38:22.400So, dude, I think one of my biggest superpowers is that I have this blindness to the reality of the circumstances that I'm in.
01:38:30.920So, like, for example, if I sat here and actually lamented and, like, put some labor in to actually trying to grasp the losses that I've endured in my life, the amount of money that I've pissed away, it would be way too fucking bone-chilling.
01:38:50.220So, the fact that I am able to be kind of blind to the circumstances that are going on allows me to heal a lot quicker than an average person.
01:39:01.020When bad things happen to me, when misfortune falls upon my shoulders, I am able – I have an inhuman ability to get over loss in, like, an hour.
01:39:11.220And then I'm already looking for the next opportunity because I know for a fact that the best opportunities in life are always ahead.
01:42:03.380Fucking hotels slashed fucking room rates to get people in to recover funds.
01:42:08.640So, you're getting all the fucking scum and the fucking scourge of the earth are now fucking hovering like at the wind and the encore, which used to be super fucking classy hotels.
01:42:17.800All the class and luxury has kind of been vitiated, which is very, very fucking fascinating to watch.
01:42:24.680The city is literally on its last fucking legs as far as I'm concerned.
01:43:55.000I do agree that it's never been easier to run up a bag.
01:43:57.760I think that like through with the internet, you can become a millionaire in about a year if you dial in.
01:44:03.040But that's only because so many people are failing.
01:44:06.040That's only because it's only really easy because so many people are failures.
01:44:09.500Why are there so many clueless failures now?
01:44:12.540Bro, I honestly think it's just different birds, different feathers.
01:44:18.300I think, I think if you go back into every single society throughout the annals of history,
01:44:23.320I think we have the exact same archetypes.
01:44:26.600I think society has always been structured relatively similar no matter how far back you go.
01:44:31.440I think it's just different birds, different feathers, different, different structures,
01:44:35.420different fucking facial features, different shapes.
01:44:38.040But the size, the fucking scope, the fucking energies, none, all these things are historically implanted in our human DNA.
01:44:45.500You cannot get away from these stories.
01:44:46.860There's only a certain amount of archetypes that exist in the human pantheon.
01:44:51.660And so I don't think there's any way that things have drastically changed the way people think they are.
01:44:56.340People are coping because they're having, they're struggling to figure it out in such an abundant time.
01:45:02.300And so, of course, they're going to look to terror and horror and fucking the war in Ukraine and find some justification for why they can't make it.
01:45:09.820But truly, the external world is 100% a reflection of your internal world.
01:45:14.360I don't see any inhibition when I walk outside my door.
01:45:17.840Nobody's fucking telling me what to do.
01:45:19.580Even during COVID, I found a way to just fucking sidestep the fucking landmines, figure out a way around it.
01:45:53.780What I'm really realizing, it's just the risk factor.
01:45:59.320People really don't want to take a risk.
01:46:02.420People don't want to go and jump off completely with two feet and risk failure.
01:46:08.100That's the number one thing that people are afraid of.
01:46:11.120But because it's never been easier, like, why are, because, you know, you think about 100 years ago, people would quit their jobs and they would, they would trek across the country to go and like mine, mine for gold in San Francisco.
01:46:23.840They were, they were way more risk taking.
01:46:26.420Is it, is it really the case of strong men create easy times, that, that whole thing?
01:46:37.660And it's nature, it's nature's way of culling and weeding out the fucking weak genes, bro.
01:46:42.760Like, this is why I always say, everyone thinks these chicks with the blue hair and the pierced nipples and the fucking feminists are our enemies.
01:46:50.240But I see them as our friends and the reason why I see them as our allies and our friends is because they're actually accelerating the correction.
01:46:57.680We're in a correction phase where the gender roles are so fucked up and women are turning themselves ugly and horrifying as a signal.
01:47:07.560They're signaling smoke that men have failed in their leadership capacity and in their leadership patriarchal roles.
01:47:30.020Inevitably, this whole gender thing is going to crash culture and society at such a level that nature is going to have no choice but birth an entirely new generation of very, very strong, ruthless, tyrannical, despotic men who are going to come in and fucking crush this shit to dust and restore fucking order.
01:48:02.700They're speeding up this feedback loop where things are going to get so out of control that they're going to have no choice but to go back to equilibrium.
01:48:15.080I mean, they're not aware of dying their hair blue, but it is a cry for help.
01:48:19.860Men are more often than not submitting to that culture problem rather than trying to fight back against it because, once again, it's easier to submit.
01:48:42.200You remind me of like the Native American on the American spirit cigarette box that's there smoking the pipe even though you're a Greek guy.
01:49:07.720And I think my greatest challenge in life that God gave me was the ability and the opportunity to learn how to cook on that fire in my belly.
01:49:16.180And I think that's where America has failed a lot of its, I want to call patience.
01:49:21.320Because most people do have that edge and they do have that fire in their belly, but they have not learned how to cook on it.
01:49:28.320And if you don't learn how to cook on your own fire, you end up self-immolating.
01:49:56.080And the whole thing about the edge and about that American spirit, like you just said, learning how to cook on that fire, is you have to put yourself in a position.
01:50:06.080This is the great task for men that have this fire in their belly.
01:50:50.160He's got a crazy gambling addiction, right?
01:50:52.920My theory on Michael Jordan is that the gambling addiction is actually his fundamental drive to do everything that he's accomplished in life.
01:51:01.560Gambling addiction is what he harnessed to become the greatest basketball player of all time.
01:51:09.720Because he became the greatest basketball player of all time, he put himself in a position financially where he can literally bet whatever the fuck he wants the rest of his life and he'll never go broke.
01:51:22.280So that is a prime example of a dude who overpowered by building such a powerful apparatus.
01:51:29.060He's overpowering his own destructive nature by basically becoming a mega billionaire.
01:51:35.020Now, most people listening to this obviously are never going to come close to that, but it's still the worthy pursuit.
01:51:41.940It's the only option you have if you're an addict, if you can't stop self-destruct, if you can't stop hurting yourself.
01:51:48.040You have to put yourself in a station in life of importance where people are counting on you, some sort of position in a company.
01:51:56.160Start a business where you have mouths to feed and you can no longer act like a fucking juvenile child and you have to show up every day and produce results for the people around you.
01:52:06.800Having that kind of pressure, having that kind of responsibility is how you learn how to cook on that fire.
01:52:12.300How did a guy like Trump find his success?
01:52:15.640I see what you're saying, how Michael Jordan and his gaming problem definitely reflects his competitive nature.
01:52:23.180Like even when he was playing ping pong against basketball teammates, he would just get immediately frustrated and like nonstop keep playing the person until he had to win.
01:52:31.200Having that sort of competitive mindset.
01:53:26.520He did it as a fucking side hobby and had a fucking great time having fun, sharing laughs, prolin motherfuckers, and fucking walked his way in to the presidency off of the sheer fumes of his own charisma.
01:53:41.200And this is kind of goes back to what I was talking about earlier.
01:53:45.480When you build that kind of persona, when you build that kind of persona and you double down and you brainwash yourself that you're the greatest ever and that you're going to do these grand tasks, there's no traffic in those lanes.
01:54:01.200Everybody will fucking open the fucking velvet ropes for you and lay out the red carpet and let you walk totally uncontested down those roads.
01:54:12.760That is the hilarious part about the whole thing to success.
01:54:16.380It's why I also had a running joke for a while.
01:54:19.320I said, being a billionaire, becoming a billionaire is easier than becoming a millionaire.
01:54:23.820And I kind of said that as a tongue in cheek, but the point that I was making was that becoming a fucking millionaire, the path is clogged.
01:54:33.820Everybody's fucking doing the things to become a millionaire.
01:54:36.120The fucking ideas that are on the outskirts and on the periphery that no one ever thinks of are the ideas that are the low hanging fruit.
01:56:25.640I am a guy who loves to fucking push the human, the limits of the animal body.
01:56:31.160Like, I am here to test my mind and body and push them to a state that I did not think possible because I want to see what the human experience is completely made of.
01:56:45.260I'm here to go to the fucking fiery depths of hell to plunge the wisdom that everybody else is scared to plunge.
01:56:53.000Because let's be honest, all the guys who go down to hell and fucking have to do these fucking heroic battles with their own demons, with the with the forces of life that are so difficult to manage.
01:57:05.160Those are the guys who extract all the knowledge and wisdom.
01:57:08.800Those are the guys who get the legacies.
01:57:10.860Those are the guys who leave the quotes behind that we still mutter to our children hundreds of years later.
01:57:17.820They are literally the sacrificial lambs.
01:57:20.740They sacrifice their soul and their life to bring back the wisdom that we can impart on our children to give them a better life.
01:57:28.140And so that's been my goal is I don't care about money so much.
01:57:31.880I just want to understand exactly how life works and spend every waking hour getting closer to understanding what this whole fucking thing is made of.
04:23:16.500No, I'm on the girls do on us though on the guy you do on any guy but not the girls
04:23:22.700Bro, but you yes, you can't do it to a fucking girl, bro. I'm horny. Okay. You're right. You're right. I'm done. I'm done. I'm think about it
