This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Bob Bob everybody it's time for poppies and rainbows. Here, that's the decoy title for today. We're driver game the system with the algorithm, because the algorithm will demonetized me. If I ever the controversial topics at it, I dont ever controversial content I mean nothing that would get me booted off of social media about- is very controversial in his own modest way. So before we do the simultaneous happened. I know that's why many of you here can we talk about Floyd may, whether an blowgun Paul getting ready to box what is happening with the world that Floyd weight
whether in Logan, Paul even can be in the same ring? Isn't one of them the best boxer in the world? and the other one is Logan Paul. It's good entertainment and I have to say, Logan Paul- is a genius at getting. Obviously, and I also have to say I was looking at the video man he's doing a good job with is fitness, but not the leader of the big stories, So I guess I do little publicity thing the way into whatever it is the two potential. Boxers are basically doing a visual thing And Logan Paul said, and I quote talking about the the boxing ass- she said
Tomorrow I break the Athens simulation and beat the greatest boxer in history. The plant, so even Logan Paul is describing the fact that he will be boxing the best box or on the planet. He says you must be living in a simulation. What do you think of that? So even Logan Ball was talking about living in the simulation now fewer him and you had the life that Logan Paul has had so far. Wouldn't do you believe you lived in a simulation Because I don't know a ton about Logan Paul, but it looks like he decides what he wants reality debate and that it becomes that right. Let's have the simultaneous up to that. You know what it's like to enjoy Italian is a copper mugger, thus attack Rochelle Static, anti drug divisive vessel. That kind fill it with a favorite liquid
coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the double media, the designates everything better luck, citizen sprinkled in its call for several days- and this can happen now- go. That's right! You made it in time. Well the Big news! Well before we get to the Big Deal I love political pranks, specially of their funny. You saw the story about Elsie s grandmother down in Puerto Rico And Elsie blamed President Trump Fora. Grandmothers still having suboptimal situation down there after the disaster. Puerto rigour, so after you complain, complained better grandmothers situation, Matt Walsh,. the daily why're you did it
Oh fuck me to raise money for a grandmother. So it's funny, Because my Walsh is a you're right, leaning, critic of a sea so. So, instead of complaining, he just fixes or problem The reason this hilarious is, it was because they re. Lookin brand is more about fixing stuff at the Democrat brand is more about complaining about stuff. Now this may be just my own impression right, but it feels like that. It feels like one is about fixin stuff in one is about complaining about stuff, so ABC complains about stuff, and that was fixed.
You just fixed except there's a wrinkle in the plan, which is apparently somebody else's family, rejected the monies to go. Fuck me people took it down and took her money away. So imagine me imagine the agency's other and she's having a bad time and then Air savers doing great its complaint. better grandmother having a bad time and grandmothers probably thinking you know you could probably fix some of this just Your I say your grandmother, you you be able to fix some of my problems of poorly applied yourself. Do it I feel like she was thank. You met doesn't mind raining there, but then mouthwash comes along and fix. The problem here is a hundred,
thousand dollars is already pledged right people actually put their credit cards and there they pledge honour those knobs so grandma's problems are fixed and then grandma finds out, and I don't know if this fact is true, but then grammar finds out, there's somebody or family decided to turn away. Her bare well those your hundred thousand dollars grandma right down the cropper so as as political pranks go, this was one of the better because never won it didn't cause them anything because they go from being. Let's get a cancelled, the Democrats proved that they would shoot themselves in the foot rather than rather than solve a problem. They would rather Shoot themselves in the foot then solve a problem, and you ve never seen a more clearly cleanly laid out. Here's my problem. Ok, here's a total solution completely.
No ambiguity, no, not nothing's! Nothing's messing! You needed some money here, you go another took it away, you can't do a prank, their works are abundant Thus the other. What's gonna grow from the grandmother, and I wish you ve got your money. I mean the prank worked, the prank worked just as well, so she got her money or not. So can you get your money? I mean it feels like grandma should get some money out of us. She was part of the. She was part of the so the Republicans Heather Convention last night in tromp was the I guess the most interesting featured speaker. Now we're getting a sense now what the Republicans will be pushing in twenty twenty two and beyond for their main themes.
So I'm gonna run by you. What I think will be their main themes based on what they have said so far, less judges. Put your persuasion head on We should have. Are these good ideas for Republican, your political And it looks like these are the major themes number one trouble said that China is responsible for the virus and paid, ten trillion dollars and reparations now in Tromp, says China should pay ten trillion dollars and reparations, good persuasion or bad judges technique of I tell you everything. Well, I won't wait for your answers. It's good is really good persuasion.
Tromp is just gotta this. You know you don't realize what good looks like persuasion wise until until he comes back into deadlines. The moment trump enters the headlines is persuasion again, that's like it's been missing the whole time and then he comes because well, let me show you how to do this again. You don't say, China. We think, maybe always something you don't say I don't know. Maybe we should look into this. You don't say I think there are a great economic problems caused by China and waving headway. China, China, that's bad persuasion! Let me show you what good persuasion looks like China. You owe us ten trillion dollars. That's good persuasion, right that the fact that it's a big round number.
This part of it is perfect. You can forget term trillion how many of you will hear TAT trillion and never forget it for the rest of your life. You probably remember that number for them. rest of your life. Imagine any other number that you remember for the rest of your life. Good luck! Good luck! come up with any number. Like a number that a politician says You remember for the rest of your life, but nine one one services, maybe maybe at nine justices of the Supreme Court, but basically there is almost no such thing as number that you remember forever. You know unless there's like dine eleven inventors.
So Trump has this amazing ability to just say ten trillion. Stiction you had it's an insanely big number feels like it could be in the neighborhood, like your brain doesn't reject it. Your brain does not say it's too big, it really doesn't, but it is so big. So here's the magic of trumps approach. How do you come up with a number that is insanely big and your brain still says? That's probably in the neighborhood. It's pretty close He he took two things I can't fit together and they made them fit together and then your brain can release on it, because two things, a doleful together just were made to set the other. You don't forget that how do you that right. He makes it look easy because Don't you yourself, I think you're making too big a deal about ass. He just throughout a big number now now,
he is so consistent with the way he does this right. That's not an accident is not destroying a big number. This is designed. It's designed designed persuasion and design perfectly I think that the Republic going after art is critical. Race theory remember, Republic is like an enemy. Everybody likes it enemy in politics right, but Republic is their enemies are going to be China. I give that enable us for a technique. critical race theory: that's gonna get people to the Poles, that's gonna! That's gonna get me rather chairs, so they know the things that will get people to stand up and certainly within the Republican, party. If you say your kids are given be brainwashed to think they're inferior, that's gonna get you to the polls.
The other enemy is doctor. Faulty doktor Fiji is the face that the Republicans and trumpet Particular they're gonna put pathologies face on the idea that experts should be trusted in all cases or that the experts are always right and is also on the side of the USA. The over reaction, or maybe over conservative, say the Republicans approach to the the pandemic? What did he call Trump called out? a radical masker, radical masker he wants multiple, lasts, etc. now as soon as you heard, that Trump said felt she is a radical masker. You knew that was a keeper right. Once again, tromp comes up with a phrase. That's just Adeline he's a radical
ask her. Now everybody else's been talking about found you. Why did it take tribe to come up with a nickname? That's the certainly going to be the headline today. If it doesnt stick he's. The gift and that, of course, the Republicans will be going against what they would call election fraud. So that looks to be there for big ones: China, Critical RE, SIRI fatty as a stand in for all bad experts and then election fraud, apparently those and bowing when the Georgia Governor Brain Camp got up there and I think the Secretary of State Robson Burger, that's bowing to and then
that is shown as a is being reported as evidence that Trump has control of the Republican Party. What do you think does Trump still have control of the Republican Party feels like it because he has control of the public. He has control of so much of the public that the Republican Party pretty much just going to have to give him what he wants unless something. So in all that all the news was bowed trump this morning, if you looked at the sea and in the entire top part of the news where all the important stuff is, I think it was, tromp stories and CNN was having ate all trump gas on this morning. The like trumps had what trouble gave somebody a nickname, Trump accused China of
enjoy and southern. I just have this massive Syria, Orgasms over the fact that jobs in the news again why stories was Trump wearing his pants backwards? What twitter? There are all these pictures of what appear to be trump wearing his pants backers. Now I dont believe he wore his pants backwards when we say that, but there is a photograph, whereas pants still have, as ever it looks like it was. It looks for photoshopped, it looks like savages Photoshop does Israel and the story it was about. The wrinkles is bands and la, but I think is Photoshop because I don't think he was wearing pants newspaper, but that's what the phonograph look like here is a hypothesis that I would need a fact check out, and so
twitter user Adam tweeted. This happened this morning and I thought it's worth mentioning. Can somebody get me effect check on this and it's an innocent explanation for why. Sunday morning, voting by didn't, live in it. Number one you heard that the Republicans want to limit the voting on Sundays to certain hours, and you said yourself: voters suppression, they're, trying to keep the churches from voting or moving their people to vote directly after church. It's a trick to stop lack voters from being effective. Well, one of the other explanations is and What are you here? This is gonna make you mad that nobody told me this before. Now. I think this is true, but do we in fact Jack? I guess I am positive that it goes like this that, in some places
churches are also the polling place. Did you see that, having the charge It is also the polling place, so you can have the church being a church, exactly the same time and day that the charges appalling place. So it turns out That this change and bite of at least had something to do with the fact that they don't want to make it hard to go to church. Gimme. A fact check on that is untrue. that. The real reason for the law was to make sure that he had time to going to charge and that their Use it as a pole, I place answer, they morning. When you wanted to use the charged for a charge. that all this was now. I never believe everything is all they want is right. So, even if there was a pervert
with good reason. It might also have an effect on suppressing some clothes. so I don't. I don't think I can say people confirm it. Oh some John says: yes, my ball in places So it doesn't make sense that you should not make it illegal to do Paul before eleven, a am m. That's what you're charging is that the whole story I mean this. Is that actually the whole story, because I don't know it doesn't feel like you could be. The whole story just feels a little too simple, Did we go this far without there being a headline? Did nobody? Nobody? Up until I saw it from a user on twitter that wasn't on CNN, nobody on Fox NEWS thought dimension as I even heard this before, how do we get this far
the topic that I've talked about in public I've talked about this topic in public. and yet I heard this this fact or guesses. The fact this morning. How in the world, I would consider myself the maybe you can judge me too, if you were to judge all the people in this country in terms of how well informed they are political stuff. Where would you put me. If you ve watched be long enough, would you would you say it's safe to say I'm in the top ten percent of citizens who are well informed about politics? Would you give me that top ten percent, because I feel like if you just pay attention to it and his party, your job and you do it every day- You're, probably the top ten percent right might be higher, but for the purposes of by point, if I'm in the top ten percent,
and I didn't know about this Sunday. Charges as Poland place thing until today. How uninformed it are, we I been seriously people. I should be the upper realm of well informed of people and not not even close. If I were to join how well informed I am unless a well informed means that you'd know enough about the context of things to make the decisions not even close, and if you think, you're close we should accept that, because I ice I do this literally, I guess you could say I do for a living. He always part of what I do.
And I didn't know that it's like the most basic part of the story, I think or is or is not true right. That's possible babies, not you, and I still don't know. How did we get this far into the biggest story in the country, which is our people gaming? The elections and I don't know that basic fact about the Sunday morning voting. How do I not know that by now I mean seriously right. Twitter is having little fight over there in Nigeria, so why was it looks like the President of Nigeria. Was blocked on twitter because he said some things that violated twitters rules. and he said that some pop or parties population will be punished for bad behaviour,
so Twitter blocks the president and then the president bands, twitter and all of Nigeria and then Twitter complained tweet, of course, twitter policy. Tweet said this: we are deeply concerned. The blocking of twitter in Nigeria Access? The free end asked egg open internet The essential human right in modern society we will work to restore access for all those in Nigeria who rely on Twitter to communicate and connect with, all the hashtag keep it on. you see a row hidden consistency. As already inconsistency that has highlighted by this story- well, Let me out, for you, twitter bans, people for speech.
That they consider over the line of their of their terms of use. and they can so entirely appropriate that twitter makes a decision of what is allowed and what is not allowed. Nigeria has adopted twitters ipod theory. There. somebody can make decisions about what is allowed and what is not allowed, because if Twitter can make decisions about what is ok for the public and not ok, why can't others? What is it did was constitute nor was it. I've got a law or natural law says that too or is the only group, the guests
What is ok and what is not ok for speech. No, no Nigeria can do to serve twitter, can make those decisions and Facebook and make those decisions. Nigeria can. Those decisions Reich, be anyone, Nigeria does it. You say: oh wait a minute, because you're here certain about what to allow one not to allow, as is a bad decision. That's not the issue. The issue is not whether it's a bad decision, the issues who gets to make it right, The decision is not whether Twitter always makes the right decision about whose, on whose out the question is, who gets to make it? just to make it. Nigeria says we get the makeup. Do that yeah? I guess they do, Twitter says we have to make do they? May I guess I do
somebody else makes it for them like in Nigeria. Now, of course, I would be in favour of twitter winning this battle and getting it back to Nigeria, so I'm definitely backing twitter over Nigeria on this topic. But I love how it highlights the problem with the philosophy. If some people can decide what you can say and it's up to them and is subjective than other people can do it too, It's either all or non on that subjective, censoring so. I want to say this again because I don't understand. Why is not the way it's framed nationally. So apparently the? U S the button administration and they used by the justice. they ve elevated this ransom, where business too soon. Priority as terrorism, now, what they're doing is making sure that
all read somewhere. Reports are reported centrally and they'll have I'm kind of a group that will look at it Or holistically, to get a better idea of who is doing it and how to stop at last of now, compliments I'll get my compliments to the binding administration, because I'm not a partisan in in all things. A partisan something's like ass everybody is, but I tried not to be partisan. Certainly you any kind of national defence things and if trumpet done this, I would have said it's the right decision and buttons do. You also sets the right decision to just make this terrorism. I will go a little further than buttons administration and say that if we determine that, we could find these p,
And let's say Russia wasn't willing to be too to pick them up. We should drone. So if we can find the bad guys that hackers- and they happen to be in russian territory, we should kill them where they stand and we should send top the seven copies of the mission to moon. Show me all the video tell him everything we did. Lately, transparently after the fact after we kill them, so we should tell them and then we should build appealing billboard. We should send them the bill for killing his citizens. Now that's pursuit, Bad persuasion would be just to kill em on russian territory. Because that would be an act of active or right, it's an actor. or to kill a russian citizen on russian territory, I would think so, instead of making it look like
The act of war send them the fuckin bill. Send them literally and itemised a fucking bill, say this is what you should adopt. These are your guys, you didn't do it. We're gonna, kill your fuckin people and we're getting to give you the fucking bill If you don't pay, it were shut down. All trade pay the fuckin bill now fear story. Putin. Is that these guys don't work for you less? Let's keep that story, we'll take care of it, for you will send you the bill, you better fuckin, pan! That's how I do Everything by don't do that, but you know I do not. I would not rule out the fact that binds about ass on the stuff I dont know if he's gonna be about us and China is a little child. The problem, but I do think Biden has at least a chance will give a chance, will see what happens.
by my push pretty hard on Russia will see. El Salvador made a big move today So else I've El Salvador is present here goes. a building his congress to make Bitcoin legal tender in their country, So El Salvador, we'll make legal to accept a goin. I think part of the reason for that is that living abroad- can seven remittances back home more easily by Bitcoin. Now I dont know how many how many countries will take or businesses to accept Bitcoin before it makes a big difference to the price, but. feels like a big deal. It did not, however, change the prices going. So the Bitcoin might get a little upon this news, but it actually wouldn't less adjectives down. One percent will save mixed difference.
Do you know what our system of government has evolved into you? I feel sorry for the founders and is a good thing that they stay dead- the founders of this country, because when they came up with the council, to them. They designed our system. So sure somebody says tree China the same with sentinel. Maybe so I put it. put a drone attack on their sentinel dealers and send him the bill. It's not about India by the way that ascending sending the bill partners of the persuasion, because when you send the bill, that's already, but he's gonna talk about. If you build them, there's gonna be a physical bill and people who go.
at it, and then you look at the ITA position, so billing boon for killing is, is hackers or billing. Presently she for killing their fence in all dealers changes the frame it changes. If from we attacked your country to we just did you a favor. You owe us. And it's a big deal. I think what will never do anything like that, but that's that's the idea of it. So We have a system in which whoever the leader of our country is always selected at this point, the leader. Well even Congress and say there all selected based on who can engage with the election system, the best There's plenty of documentation that shows that binding, probably one because the democratic just.
a better job using the legal system to get a set of rules that favour their outcome, so didn't really probably have much to do with the voters. Preferences probably had a lot to do with game this the better now the complaints from the Democrats are that the Republicans are catching up. their re gaming in reaching their changing the system, so light favour them but you do all this work, to create a democracy and have these elections and basically the outcome is determined by the people who make the rules so that the rule makers are the ones who decide who got elected But on top of that, when it's all said and done uneven. Did your leaders then the next part of the fate next phases, ignoring the leaders, because the only person, personal matters is geomantic Because, as long as things stay really close, if Congress is really close to even Republicans and Democrats.
Then the only person has pleasantly power is a person who is willing to sometimes vote on the other side and thus Joe Mansion. so Joe Mansion, as he always smart person in Congress, because he's openly told the world I can vote this way. but I can also vote thou way. That's all, After do when you run the country itself, such Kristen Cinema, maybe maybe another one year so I don't know what's wrong with everybody else in Congress, all have to do is sometimes vote for the other two and then you are in charge of the country. But I suppose you need to be more loyal to your party stays, so imagine is probably bang paying the price from his own party, but it's a clever move. I would have done the same.
If I were in congress- and I saw this opening the way mansion does- I would have said to Myself- wait a minute. What about can I understand this correctly? All I have to do is sometimes vote for the other team and I can actually be running the country. I would take that in a heart. I would be all over that I would run this country if they give it to me. I've been Basically it would be the whole country just handling the keys and say: could you can you decide for us? because we can really decide Joe Mansion couldn't, can you just make up position decision for us? We don't like all this representative democracy. Look just like you. Do it Joe Mansion. So I did a little reading up on the problem with other analyses have mentioned that,
another story about I've, reflecting the propose potential therapeutic for covered. that there is some suggestions that, if you do a better analysis, which is you sort of some up all of the imperfect studies that the imperfections can be sort of smooth. Now, if you will speaking very approximately If you Adam altogether and treat them as one big study, even though there were individually imperfect studies and Audrey's Becker's, who knows more about this stuff that I do mentioned? There are some problems with metal analysis and I didn't know exactly what they were. But here's here's the policy, the idiots. The idiots version is that if you were to do it, an analysis of studies so you're looking at a whole bunch of studies and deciding
how to add them all together into one big ball, you have a lot of decisions that you make. I see your comments are Crowley and I dont understand all that. contacts but maybe ocean. So the question on the bed analyses is that, if you're looking at, which studies to include in your method of analysis than is automatically subjective, So apparently one of the things you might do, as you say, we're gonna, do a method of analysis, all the studies but, of course,. we're going to leave out any of their preference stuff. So the preference stuff is the stuff hasn't been published in a major publication and peer reviewed, and all that is like before that stuff happens. So do you include that? Should you include stuff? That's not quite
farm fired off along in the pipeline, because if you decide not to include it, you might get a different result than if you include. There might be other criteria where you say. Well, I'm not going to study unless it's at least a certain size has to have a certain number of people or is done in this lace or they looked at it in a certain way, maybe in the beginning, verses lane wrong. So my point is that the outcome of the, Better analysis is determined by the person who decides what to look at. Lose I see you saying I'm lost. Would you say if I can do this one more time? Clearly, if you get a put you can look at a bunch of individual small studies to undertake their average direction. If you will, you still get to choose what's in the average,
That what you decide to put in there will determine what the averages, so you can save yourself, I'm not going to include this kind of study cuz, it's not the kind that looks good enough or you can say: let's include everything cuz the whole point of it is to every town. So the point is that you think you're doing analysis, but you're not say it say it. The illusion of analysis, because the illusion is that there is some kind of objective process going on when nothing like that happened. In fact, it was subjective because you chose what you can look at and it was the choosing what you look at that probably determine the results. Now, here's the counter to the If, if every one of the studies shows a strong effect in the same direction, probably none of this matters
right. So if a hundred percent studies show that lets take an example, I don't think this is true but If one hundred percent of studies show that I respect and work really really well well,. Matter which one you packed because then I'll be the same but If that were also true, you wouldn't be met analysis so here's what one expert said situation where you don't need a another analysis is So obvious, without one day, you don't need to do it, but the moment obvious. The matter Analysis also doesn't work because ass when you put the subjectivity into it.
so the matter analysis actually is logically illogical, meaning that you either don't need it or it doesn't work. Those are the only two possibilities you dont need it, because it's so clear without it or if its murky, it's really subjective and it doesnt work. Now, what's the counter to that, and I think in the Ivory ACT and study, I believe the counter is that they're, all the same direction that the entire point of it is that there is nothing in the other direction. So that case another analysis, I think, actually make sense, but you can't trust it because
subjective, or let me say this: maybe you didn't need the meta analysis, so it fits that model. You didn't need it cuz, they're, all in the same direction. Now fact check me on that. I don't know if they're on the same direction, but I feel as if that was the main point is that they were in fact all the same direction. What's some of the few things that I needed to talk about today, I feel as though we're entering the summer where things are going to slow down a little bit, and I would like to ask you this question of you. I told you yesterday that in my town there's some kind of a golden age situation going on my main street turned into a like a a festival every weekend and would that the street is closed to traffic and is outdoor dining people have their masks off. People are so happy. They can't stand it.
Oh thank you run. I've been imagined at the moment and is everybody else having the experience that their town is just insanely happy right now, gun control is racists is crucial that the Republican should say that. Yeah, I'm not sure Republicans feel as comfortable as you might imagine saying that gun control is racist, but I see your point. We can see point it's just that the hard message for the Republicans think back to your town, so he says services. Yes in taxes, no one cell crews, my tones Happy Portland, is very happy New Jersey, not so good. I see yes from Greenland.
No I'm in Canada. I'm sorry not canna. Canada's said the Canadians are complaining here: kick candidates not too happy. Yes, I yes says a lot more people around walking. That's definitely true, whereas Jack Marya, that's a good question. Montana is great New York City, sucks, Connecticut, good Atlanta. Definitely.
They are setting his back baby Wichita's when great for Awhile Philadelphia, the pits sorry Missouri ass. Well, it looks like we're coming back. Folks were coming back. How about taking a moment? Take a moment for me to go back in time. Do you remember about this time? Last year, people were afraid that the entire economy is going to fall apart and it didn't they didn't, and we did rally and we beat this damn thing I mean I think it's been even if it last forever. I mean we're. We're back, do nearly normal at this point, we're looking good, so I feel like we all live through something amazing and I think we have reached.
changed, because it and change in Lhasa ways, but I think the golden age is just going to impress itself upon us whether we like it or not, and I sell feel that the pandemic with some sort of system reboot the pandemic did more than anything in my life to just change everything about the way you think about. People knew you had to reengineer your tyrant life from scratch, and I would like to ask you this question: how many of you. are having trouble rebuilding your friend network and social network, is there anybody who lost their social network during this pandemic, whose needs news to rebuild it and you're? Saying we're all my friends, I need some friends than it was in the comments it. If that's a common problem or not cabin Kevin says
Yes, it is true that we are so. I was going to do a micro lesson than the US lessons. While I'm sorry about that, so I feel I feel the same situation I feel like. I have two intentionally rebuild rebuild my social network, because it just completely shrunken shrunk to the family. Let me tell you a system for doing this. I was going to do a micro lesson on my locals subscription service on how to make friends. Would you like that, I'm going to give you a quick little lesson on how to make friends and actually wrote it in my whiteboard over here, which.
almost say. I should show you that other areas and here's the tagging number one making friends don't think of it as a goal to think of it as a system is the same process are used for everything, a goal, a goal. which would be, I think I'm got identifies. Somebody I want is a friend and try to make their person my friend that doesn't really work it's hard to just Well, I think I think you'll be my friend. Did it make you a friend I dont ever see that work, so that would be a goal approach in it just doesn't work, here's a system approach. It goes like this number one have defined interests become the person who cares about Ex now axes up. Do you could be politics could be a sport could be a hobby.
could be an interest, could be a cause, find something to define you so that when you're friends describe you, they say you met Scotty talks about politics. He place tennis become a stereo type. Here's why, as soon as you become known as the person who does acts whatever exercise than all of the other people who, like acts, are drawn to you, and they have reason to talk to you and the? U ever is to talk to them and your friend will say: hey. I know you're inches. Annex III should review should be my siblings, who also like sex or my acts like sex, so be them off, be the flame that attracts them all Dont, be the moth, be the flame, be the person who says here
what I am and now I'm going to track stuff. So first of all have a defined interest. The other people recognized and that will attract people. Look like interest. That's the first part of the system. Next be valuable, be valuable. You would like to live in a world in which friendship. they stand. Some will say conceptual value they used to say you know I like people, people with good. I, like Bob Bob's, a good person Bob's, my friend I'll, tell ya. Our goal is different from affirmations. Lament friendship is a transactional situation. Your family might not be in your family. You might have something close to your computer,
Love without any restrictions, but friends are transactions. Are you don't want to think of it that way? But I'm sorry it's just true. It's always true. Your friends are people for whom you provide a value and they provide a value back if thats not happening, get rid of your friend unless a sport disposal giving you value and you give him Nothing will be ok for you, but it's only a friendship. If you both know what you're getting and you're both delivering, for example, you might be valuable because you're funny and people say I love being around the funny person, you might be valuable.
Sure you're an Empath people, saying man when I have a problem, I should like talking the x, you might be valuable because your home is a good one for again together, you might be valuable because it organised you're the person who brings everybody together. You might be valuable because you have lots of friends and people want to be. Friend to have access to your network or friends, but make sure you have a value if you're not offering a thing of value. Why would anybody be your friend seriously? Why would they be? Your friend is not because you, your inner, Your inner you, your soul, is so good forget about that. Nobody can see your soul. Nobody can see your inner thoughts. People can see what you do so do something valuable for the people. You would like to be friends with. If you can do something for other people, don't complain either
friends, they need you to do something for him. That's how it works so get over your your romantic notions. That friendship is based on some, your connection in your soul. It's not that it all is. Just people have stuff in common who have an interest in a value that is exchanged. Assault is transactional but there's nothing wrong with that. The world is gone on forever, exactly where the system you don't have to be, the one box it uses says: don't don't fight. This is the use it. It's been tested for real hundreds-
a thousand years. You should also either join groups or organise them so find a group of people were doing a thing that you're interested in ensuring that group. The best way to make friends is simply by doing the same stuff with people that you didn't know that well and then you get to know you got something to talk about. Oh you do x, I do ex livestock medics and then you're on your way. So if you can't join the group, that is of interest to you be the organised. Are you worry that if you're the organizer people will say no to you, here's the trick, don't say to one person? Would you like to do ex with me, because, if you get turned down for that feels kind of personal those that would you like to go to a movie with me as tough for some people ask nobody likes to be rejected, so don't do that instead be an organised and say
I'm thinking of going to movie acts put down a message dear network. Does anybody want to go with me? That's it I'm going to do something on this day. Who would like to join me? Then you dont, know who turned down. Nobody has to answer is just the people want to join. You say: yes, if you get nobody Joint EU, nobody, even those nobody's gonna know if you want the movie they just now. You pointed out there, that's all. If they didn't go there and answer, that's all they know. So there's nobody. Turning
down and there's nobody saying yes well, I've been somebody might say us, so don't ask one on one: organise a group put an offer offered to host offer to create an event around something, be the organism, and next thing is diversify and prune. Dont think that you're process and making friends is to get some friends and then you're done no good. Your process of making friends should be a continuous process where you're, adding new friends all the time and you're diversifying. So if you lose a friend you get ten more, you lose another friend. you still got ten more because you added new friend why you don't want is to have two friends and then one of them gets pissed off at you and you lost fifty percent.
Social network, because you made one person mad, diversify ten friends, twenty friends, thirty friends, that's what should go in for. You get to ten, and you say yourself or lessen our friends now, because you did a proven friends to how many of your friends are just users there they're just toxic. Are you getting rid of the toxic ones, because they're taking your time, you gotta get rid of the toxic ones and some people can become toxic, even if they did start that way see category the toxic once and the only way you can get rid of toxic
and is to have diversified your friend portfolio, so they even grab ones toxic, get rid of it and it doesn't even change the average. You don't even notice. This is better said: diversify, grow, your friends and prune viciously prune prune viciously and the other tip is. There are people who are good organizers and connectors, you probably know son. If you know twenty people, probably maybe only one of them or even fewer, could be zero. One of them would be the person who knows lots of people and has parties and introduces young people if you're gonna put any interest into a person find one
Fine one of those the organise the person who has lots of friends and then how do you make that person? Your friend? Do you call him say: hey be my friend nope that doesn't work and plus they may say now you don't want to do that. offer them something. If there's somebody was good, organizer have a party and invite up. If you invite and organizer. Two three part: Your place there is a hundred percent chance Unless the organizer goes three times to your place, there's a hundred percent chance. They, u will get invited to their necks party and that's the one. That's a good one. That's where all the people are. Does that's the organised? That's that's how you do it you, you find the people who are the highest value connectors. You make sure you put more attention towards them than other people, because the high veldt
I saw somebody says: I'm the tat, the toxic one, then the other thing you're a work on, because that's that's a good comment is don't bother to make friends if you're an asshole, ok work If you know you're an asshole or you know, you're you're not very- was a generous to your friends. Your problem is not ability to make friends. The problem is, if you made friends accidently you work friends or the boy you just met casually, doesn't matter if you're gonna be an asshole there's. No, there is no point. so that is your your goal for day now. The reason that systems are better than goals is because, system is something you can do every day. So what I
described the stuff you could be workin on everyday right. Joint group organised group send a text that organizer person just remind them, who you are a sort of thing and whereas a goal will you might do nothing that day of your goal? And you just feel depressed by the system you can just work every day to join a gym right is something you can do everyday Joint Jim people with common interests, you're probably run into some and then all your friends s to borrow money. While that is a very big it. If comment.
Any friends in any mafia organizations that is weird question now the question was ass, was the difference between an affirmation and a goal is an excellent question and I like to put it this way. A goal would be I'm going to get that promotion at work very specific right. I'm gonna get the promotion that just open. work, an affirmation would be, I will become wealthy. The affirmation allows you to be wealthy anyway, it's not restrictive. So that's what's good about it. A goal would be. want get that promotion at work. You only have one thing. What are the odds? Are everybody gets that one thing they walk will not nearly as good as the odds of something good happen soon.
cling better, so you're affirmation should be in the direction, but not to specific. So let's say you want to be in love. Goal would be, I will be in love with that. Person is always a good idea or would be better to say. I will find love or I am loved or, I'll have a robust and social life. Anything like that. Let me tell you a real life situation have, and that makes me About the simulation without getting into details? The other day I was went to town one of the people with me was talking about a certain other individual in her life. Any other than some summer situation there and ass. She was talking about this one person in her life, who was a problem.
That one person walked directly passes. There is only one person we are talking about one person who is a problem to this one person I live in it. repopulating place right there are millions of people live around here. As she was talking about that one person- and walking in a part of town in which neither of them would normally be that one person than she was talking about, walk directly passes. Now. How often does happen as law, right The those things like that fella now you're saying it's a small town, but a really isn't because entire time, we're walking. We saw nobody else, we middle nobody saw hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands, of people and saw nobody else that we knew except the one person we're talking about.
and you see people say. Other that happens to me is well, as is it just makes you wonder about the nature of the world? Doesn't it happens a little too often now, when Jake Paul, I'm sorry, Odin Paul I went Logan Paul was talking about his apparent fight with Floyd may weather Such coming tomorrow and love, Paul says: I'm going to break the fn simulation. Do you think that Logan Paul has noticed, their his own life doesn't seem to consume, correspond to anything that statistics would suggest. Because how in the world do you have become Logan Paul in the first place I mean that's, not easy. but once you become him, how
The world, do you get a boxing match with the best box or in the world like how a new world? Oh it's tonight, people are telling me that that the box it matches tonight now. I guess I get this an exhibition and I get that people would expect may whether to to win. But how in the world is any this happen, I mean really what's my no hypothesis for the simulation s that a different way. Yeah the a cage match or a boxing match, I'm not sure which, but I gotta say what the people like Logan, Paul and Elon Musk and uneven, I think the reason that we believe in the simulation is that our lives don't make sense. Does my life make sense.
Those of you who have been watching me long enough to. Let me just ask this question: does my life make sense low base, based on just why you ve observed. yeah, you don't have to know my inner life just look at what I've done yet. But I've been involved in the things I ve touched? Does that make sense because it doesn't does it? I see us is in those where my mind it's too cool incidental, like it doesn't make sense unless we live in a simulation. do ever know I bought? This is for the simulation Kitty. Explain what you mean by that. So tell me what you mean by no I bought. This is, for the simulation mean an alternative such an alternative to it.
So I'm asking you to ask the question in English, as opposed to a science wonky talk, will I be your friend absolutely I might. I might not contact you often, but I'm totally your friend o proves not true. What did you just say that yeah I'll get? How could you disprove the population, in other words, is something that is there something that, if true, would prove that this regulation is not true, and I think the answer is that can happen, because if we're a simulation than the simulation would prevent it from being being disproved and we would be built into the simulation
They can't miss, prove it. So I don't think that the normal rules of disproving things could be applied to the rule of rules. It will be the only time that you would not expect it to work. Everything think well, somebody says: can you prove something doesn't exist? You could prove something's, not true that be be done, but you can't Prove it doesn't exist, for example, I could prove you know that I don't have something in my hands right now, but I can't that I won't be hit on the head with a rock next week. So that's the worst example emerges. Forget I forget I was talking. Is truth singular? I don't think so.
You can't prove reality here by its nature. You can't really alrighty about an hour? Just forget all of my forget all I had Aaron my hands dammit. You can't prove there isn't an invisible, pink unicorn in the room with you. yes, I'd sets off now and I'll talk to you tomorrow.
