00:00:00.000 Stop asking me what books I read. I do not read books. I don't read books. I never read books.

00:00:16.080 I've already told the story of the one book I've read in my adult life when I was in a jail cell.

00:00:19.360 I don't read books any other time unless I literally am in jail. I refuse to read books

00:00:24.080 and the reason I refuse to read books is because I do something that supplements reading books and

00:00:28.040 it's called living life. Reading books is a very cheap way to, I guess, entertain. I wouldn't call

00:00:35.020 it entertainment because my brain is far too advanced. I'm too smart to read. I need to sit

00:00:40.120 there and go, smart people read. No, I need action. I need constant chaos in my life to feel content.

00:00:45.980 I need to be driving a supercar and fucking fighting, fucking a bunch of hoes and champagne 1.00

00:00:49.980 and going crazy. I can't just sit there. Oh, oh, and the pirate on the boat. It's for people with 1.00

00:00:56.800 slow brains. You know, there's different kinds of intelligence and there are smart people with slow 0.96

00:01:02.180 brains, but the smartest people in the world also have quick brains. My brain moves quickly

00:01:06.160 and I can't read a book. I can't read a book. I can't do it. There's no book thrilling enough.

00:01:13.040 It's the same reason why I can't watch TV. I cannot watch Netflix. I can't because if I sit and put

00:01:19.020 Netflix on, I end up just sitting on my phone because my phone, I can do a whole bunch of stuff and

00:01:23.220 Netflix is just background noise. It's not enough to entertain me. No show is thrilling enough.

00:01:28.380 I can't, I can barely watch YouTube videos because people talk so slowly. Have you ever YouTube

00:01:33.540 something? Like how to use your phone's camera, whatever, some bullshit. Hi, welcome to the channel 0.99

00:01:40.180 today. Today I'm going to show you how to use your phone's camera. So before we start, if you'd like

00:01:44.380 to subscribe, skip, skip, skip. I can't even fucking listen to their shit from one three fucking 1.00

00:01:48.380 second. It pisses me off. Everything's slow and reading books is exceptionally slow. So 1.00

00:01:53.460 how do I supplement the knowledge that books provide and how did I become such a genius?

00:01:59.940 Well, there's two answers to that question. One, I don't think books provide knowledge.

00:02:04.200 Books provide information, but information is not knowledge. My kickboxing coach used to

00:02:08.060 say to me, there's one way to learn a lesson, the hard way. And there's only one other way to

00:02:12.780 learn a lesson, the harder way. And it's absolutely true. You have to feel it to believe it.

00:02:18.380 I don't think it's 911 since he's never really a given tool in progress. It's, you know,

00:02:24.460 the harder way to learn a lesson. When you're listening to the wind doesn't deliver

00:02:25.560 like the energy stand. It's perfectly honest. You have to feel it but you're

00:02:27.040 the harder way entsprech at the rise. You do it. I'll resist my thoughts on how to

00:02:31.420 affect your components and your life. And I'll show you all and act fine with them.

00:02:34.980 You have to feel it. You have to feel it yeah. Make sure it's my experience of

00:02:48.380 so you can read all the books in the world about how getting married is stupid and you're gonna 1.00

00:03:02.800 get divorce raped in the west and the woman's gonna take all your money but you're gonna meet 1.00

00:03:06.080 some chick and fall in love with her and marry her anyway because you're an idiot but if you get 1.00

00:03:09.100 divorced raped once and you won't do it again there's only one way to learn a lesson the hard 1.00

00:03:12.820 way so you may be reading all this information but do you know anything no you don't know anything 0.91

00:03:19.020 you only know things by doing things by living so one of the ways i supplement the fact that i never

00:03:23.920 read is i live and i live a very interesting life and i do what i want all the time and i have the

00:03:28.980 capability to do anything i want to do so while you'll sit and read about taoism or stoicism like

00:03:36.420 a dork i can fly to china and go into a taoist temple and say i want to live here for a month

00:03:41.020 i can do these kind of things so i live my life all of my knowledge everything i've ever said in 0.95

00:03:46.060 these tape speeches comes from things i've lived things i've done i do things and i don't want

00:03:51.840 anyone to ever think that reading something is the same as doing something because doing something

00:03:55.440 will teach you lessons far faster than reading anything try and do give an example i can't play

00:04:03.700 piano you can't play piano there's a piano here i sit there and start trying to play piano by myself 0.98

00:04:08.580 just pressing keys fucking around trying to get stuff that sounds good fucking around with the 0.97

00:04:12.000 pedals whatever whatever another guy sits there and only reads a book about piano and doesn't touch 0.99

00:04:17.240 the piano in six months who will be able to play piano better me or him me because i've been doing

00:04:24.220 things while he's been reading things reading isn't real life all the time you spend reading if you were 0.64

00:04:30.360 to fuck it off and spend living you would learn more if you did the right things problem is most 0.98

00:04:34.760 you dorks you're either broke or you're lazy so if you throw reading away then what you're going to 1.00

00:04:39.280 do is just watch tv you're not going to do anything but if you were to actually go living instead you'd 0.95

00:04:43.420 learn things that's one of the first points i have about reading the second point i have about reading

00:04:47.680 is another reason i don't read is because i play chess and when you play chess chess is completely

00:04:51.920 different than reading because reading is static reading is just information consume the information

00:04:58.420 chess is constantly changing and evolving and moving no two chess games are the same so it's

00:05:04.660 very much like life you have to apply knowledge you know on an unfamiliar situation at all times

00:05:09.660 it's completely unfamiliar so chess supplements reading completely if you can choose between the

00:05:14.240 two choose chess i think the only reason people read nowadays anyways because it's an easy way to gain

00:05:18.920 some kind of bragging rights it's bragging rights without pain it's bragging rights without danger

00:05:23.700 hey hey you seen all these books i read you sat still and you turned pages like if i'm gonna brag 0.99

00:05:29.960 i'm gonna brag about shit i did which others can't do dangerous things that takes balls because the 0.96

00:05:35.260 current education system is read read read it's not do do do it's read read read and that's why most 0.99

00:05:41.280 people who come out of school can't do shit that's why college university is a complete waste of time 0.91

00:05:45.760 i did not go to university the most successful people i know did not go to university i do not have 0.99

00:05:51.260 four years to dedicate to sitting there reading books of outdated knowledge when all the latest 0.65

00:05:56.920 information in the world's on my internet google browser for free anyway and listen to some dork 0.99

00:06:01.420 who's never made any money in his life tell me how to live my life it's complete garbage if you meet 0.87

00:06:07.180 anyone who's successful near any field most of them didn't go university now i understand there's

00:06:12.040 some professions where you need to go university to become a doctor blah blah blah i understand that

00:06:16.260 my point is in general is that the whole education system is not based on doing things it's based

00:06:20.380 on reading things and this is why if you want information on how to get something done you need

00:06:25.800 to speak to somebody who can do stuff so if i'm going to learn piano i want to learn piano from

00:06:31.060 somebody who plays piano not somebody who's read how to play piano i don't want someone to give me a 0.99

00:06:34.960 book and say read this and we'll talk through it together no i want you to play piano motherfucker 0.97

00:06:38.280 right here in front of me and i want to watch you do it and i want to try and see you do it i want 0.97

00:06:41.220 to learn from you this is going to all tie into one more thing called my hustlers university
