Doge finds a massive bombshell in US Aid
Michael sailor goes so hard on bitcoin
that even Satoshi said damn white people
Twitter call for Elon to be guillotined
and there was no winky face emoji Trump
bans trans athletes from women's sports
Google quietly removes their pledge not
to put AI in weapons plus we're back in
the streets with more relationship
reactions and we're taking some rather
aggressive Community questions all right
now Drew take it away this USA thing is
not going way man we have seen some
bodies yes so Chelsea Clinton has gotten
exposed I'm going wait for the receipt
to get verified before we share that
it's got a lot of Commons in zeros
though yes but what we definitely can
see is that Politico and the $8 million
that it received from us Aid has been in
the spotlight now I've been hearing
rumors that they have closed their doors
they stopped paying people it seems like
us Aid was funding Politico yeah like I
thought we were doing 4 a now we're
doing like magazines what is this what's
your temperature on this yeah so uh I
think as things roll out what we're
going to find is that they were doing a
lot of propaganda and so that propaganda
could be in another country uh that
propaganda could be here and I think as
we increase the level of transparency
we're going to realize more and more
that Snowden was on to something that
all the things we're supposedly doing to
foreign governments we are also doing to
our own people uh and I hope that makes
people deeply unhappy because uh these
are your tax dollars being put to use
against you and there was a tweet that
Elon put out that I thought was really
interesting I don't expect that it will
be uh well received but that the same
people that are freaked out by what
we're doing auditing um us a and other
entities were excited that um there they
were going to add
87,000 new IRS agents to audit you and
so I was like wait what what is the
logic of being absolutely okay with us
being audited and not being okay
auditing the people that are spending
our money like I I legitimately don't
understand the energy I'm okay with
people being like hey we want the extra
agents to really make sure that
everybody's above board that everybody's
paying their taxes as they're supposed
to there's been so much outcry about the
rich aren't paying their fair share Cool
let's get the agents let's see how it
goes but then to be weird about the fact
that we're auditing the government like
I can't I can steal Manet but I can't
internalize the logic set that would
make me go oh it's bad to audit these
people so again going back to something
people are going to hear me say over and
over and over this is an emotional
reaction to which they put words but the
words don't actually line up with why
they're having the emotional reaction
the reaction that I think we're seeing
right now and the freakout over us a is
twofold one US Aid is essentially a
front for the CIA um and so they're
doing covert things so they're saying
that this is something to help with the
water but in reality it's us wanting to
control the water supply in that region
to make sure uh that we've got our thumb
on it or that they feel like they owe us
a favor or whatever and we may even
people are not going to like this answer
but we may even want the government
doing some number of things like that to
keep us in a strong position um such
that we are well-placed around the world
the right people owe favors we have
control of the right things so that if
things were to pop off we would be able
to uh make problems go away without
anybody ever even realizing that we put
you know back Channel pressure on people
such is the game of global politics
which is a game of strength period end
of story okay so there's that angle of
it is a way in which we have done uh
covert operations under the guise of
humanitarian Aid and people that know
that that's what's going on like ah hey
wait wait wait wait it's not really
about dancing squirrels in uh Nicaragua
it's like you know this whole covert
thing but we can't come out and say it
then I think there was also just I hate
Elon Musk and Donald Trump more than I
can possibly tell you and this is my
opportunity to tell the world that these
two are oligarchs they are going to ruin
our country this is everything that we
warned you about see Republicans you
were wrong all you fools that voted for
these guys that they told you who they
were they want to rule this country with
an iron fist they do not care about you
this is all about them going in and
stealing funds their words not mine uh
getting access to your data their words
not mine and that I think is what's
really playing out this is a
political uh theatrical play that we are
watching and they know that they can
Rouse people's emotions um what I hope
people turn over the um or turn the page
on and really start looking at is is the
government spending money the way that
you want are you comfortable with the
level of covert actions your government
is taking are you comfortable with the
things that they are spending money on
or when you hear those things just read
off do you go wow okay wait a second
we've got a lot of people here in
America that are struggling they're not
able to make ends meet we've got an
education system that is broken and not
working and people screaming about you
need to pay teachers more and it's like
well guess what we could do if we
weren't spending all this money in those
other places and so it if people can
step outside of the stream of their
emotion which I think is incredibly
important and go okay what's the
objective that I'm trying to achieve
hopefully their answer is make things
better for the American people and is
the money that we're spending on us Aid
is that actually the thing that's
helping or could we begin to reallocate
that or could we be using that money to
reduce people's burden from a tax
perspective and if doge is really
getting to the point where they're
saving somewhere between1 and3 billion a
day from all of these reductions um what
amount of disruption would we be willing
to um put up with to get those kinds of
big changes and so it it will be
interesting I just really worry that I
am going to learn a very powerful lesson
which is this is all propaganda this is
all spin on both sides that the game is
propaganda in spin the game is um
presenting things in a way that get
people to go along with your agenda and
if that's the truth we come back to
something that I think about a lot which
is the reason people
manipulate using the media or a position
of power is because people are so
manipulatable and we are all looking for
a heuristic and the heuristic that most
terrifies me is tribalism so heuristic
is just a fancy word for rule like just
give me the quick thing like how do I
vote uh just tell me how do Republicans
vote I'll vote that way just tell me how
Democrats vote I'm GNA vote that way uh
instead of going in looking at each of
the candidates seeing what they stand
for yeah like building a mental map of
the world that says okay these are the
issues that I think really matter and
because I understand how these dots
connect then I understand the policy
that's really going to matter this is um
a big reason why I think we're having
this moment right now is when Co kicked
off I think a lot of people had the same
experience that I had which is wait the
world doesn't work the way that I
thought it does my mental model is
broken I realized that my prediction
engine was non-existent now that I know
that I was not able to predict how
things were going to play out I want to
begin to build a model that actually
does have high predictive validity and
so that's going to require transparency
that's going to require people to make
decisions on their own and I have um
asked this community and I will ask
again to please view me as an AI that
has a strong sincere take but is meant
to be taken in concert with a bunch of
other people that you're using in the
same way for you to build your own sense
of what is a high functioning model of
how the world Works um so for me I want
to see the transparency happen I want to
see people be outraged by how we're
spending money and I want everything
coming out of the government with very
few exceptions uh for National Security
to be things that
um we all look at and go no no I don't
want to see things being spent that way
that's crazy so I'm going to make sure
that I'm calling my local Congress
person and telling them that's
absolutely unacceptable this is madness
uh so that collectively we can start
getting funds moved in the direction we
want to see them go that we'll have the
greatest good for Americans no 110% and
the interesting thing as we like dig
down into this political data is that
you start to see now yes they got this
foreign aid from they got this us Aid
and then you go one level deep and
you're seeing that it's HH HH s the
Department of Education Department of
Agriculture So within the agencies
they're also co-mingling funds so then
it just becomes like this big mess
of I don't want to call it payoff money
I'm trying to you know assume good
intent but there's this there's this in
tanglement of this agency is connected
to this agency it's connected to this
agency so to your point it's not that
it's Shadow it's straight to I'm using
this money to go assassinate somebody in
a small farm but it's this this agency
is using my bidding in extending my
power where I might have some
limitations or there might be a gate
that's withholding yeah they found a
loophole they found a way to shovel very
substantive amounts of money to pet
projects to scratch somebody's back etc
etc and this is where we get into is
this going to work in a world with high
velocity
information uh and people wanting just a
quick rule of thumb to make sense of
things will it work will people be able
to navigate a world where there's this
much level of information um and I don't
yet know the answer I don't know that
people are going to be able to sustain
the energy that we see right now for
looking into all this stuff in fact
somebody asked a really good question
today uh in our twitch stream where they
said okay wait a second what I want to
know is um how is like where do I go to
see all the things that you found I
don't want this to just be another
propag um propaganda arm where Elon
finds something finds a whole bunch of
things M and goes on X and only about
the that are going to outrage people
like that's that's not going to cut it I
need where I can go see this stuff for
myself I want a nice simple place to go
log in and check this stuff out I
thought that was a really smart request
because at some point um it becomes
untransparent again opaque just based on
they're going to pull things out they're
going to tell a story to make it simple
which people crave and then it's just
going to break tribally again and you're
going to get the left saying one thing
you're going to get the right saying
something completely different and if
nobody takes the time to go look at the
things that matter the most to them um
you're just going to be in this weird
space we'll definitely keep monitoring
the situation um I feel like we're
getting something new every day so who
knows the next agency that is going to
go down and here's the thing dude as Ai
and technology is poured into the
government and we modernize the
government you really are going to see
um how the government actually works not
everybody is going to Avail themselves
of it but this feels like a an
absolutely incredible moment I tweeted
out that uh this is transparency is an
act of Revolution that's really what it
feels like like I am fundamentally
changing my mental map of what the
government is how the government
functions and just like uh I built a
mental model of the financial system
that really changed my sense of um how
to solve some of these problems I think
the same thing is going to happen on
more um individual levels of like uh
money allocation within the government
how uh money should be acquired and
spent from taxpayers um what taxpayers
need to be notified on and now we're
going to have the systems by which we
can notify them and so the people that
want to Avail themselves of it are going
to have a never-ending stream of you
know like we had the Twitter files it's
just going to be a never ending stream
of all these different places what's
really been going on um and my hope is
that we get a new Elite Class and that
the Elite Class is instead of being um
rich instead of being close to a
politician the Elite Class become the
most knowledgeable about how things
actually work and so just like you would
go to an Elite Class of academics if you
want to understand something about
history or you'd go to an Elite Class of
academics uh that are going to tell you
about economics that there'll be this
new Elite Class that are just so close
to all the data that's being kicked out
that they can really start to put data
together for you to connect the dots of
how the government has historically
worked why it feels like more and more
Barnacles on a turtle what is this why
are we drowning the turtle what are
going to be the Barnacles that we need
to remove in order to increase the um
the engine of the economy because
ultimately that's the only way out of
the moment that we're in other than
War
sheesh I I'm so optimistic though so I
feel like we're going to come around I
feel like this is not the end of the
story is that anchored on something or
do you just choose choose as an Act of
Faith to be optimistic I'm choosing as
an Act of Faith cuz I really thought
that because of the decisive victory
over the election people are going to be
like okay I'll give Donald Trump the
chance but to your point we are three
weeks in and he's already articles of
impeachment have been introduced like
that's crazy yeah like they're already
trying to figure out how to dismantle
things and he hasn't even started the
presidency yet um so I could just see
this getting more and more perverse more
rather than more and more better like
and so you're forcing S as an Act of
Faith oh then I'll be depressed every
day then I'll be a heavy drinker and
this show will be go a lot differently
that's hilarious um in other news um our
boy Michael uh Michael sailor I was
about to say micro strategies our boy
Michael sailor dropped the micro and is
now just strategy B he is a full-blown
Bitcoin treasury the first and largest
Bitcoin treasury company um I remember
you kind of called this during our
interview with him where you said that
he was genius putting his company on the
r of Bitcoin and I see him now he kind
of went all in what's your first
reaction yeah so I know one of the
things that I say that people take
Umbridge with is that the entire stock
market is gambling and once you
understand the stock market as gambling
then suddenly all these fancy names that
people put like puts and calls and all
the options trading and all that stuff
is really just people finding more and
more creative ways to place bets uh with
the market against the market and the
the thing that is really brilliant that
sailor did was he understood that people
would want to gamble that same way on
bitcoin and so he pulled the entire
Financial system all those options and
things like that on top of Bitcoin by
becoming a public company whose product
is holding Bitcoin and so now you can
bet against Bitcoin going up going down
uh it's really really smart it's one of
those it's a way of being being smart
that is very impressive but it has to do
with the very thing that I'm I want this
show to be which is uh we as a community
are exploring how the world really works
and I think sailor identified that you
have an extremely high volatile asset
that matches what he calls monetary
physics and so from his perspective it
is an inevitability that more and more
money is going to flow in to that that
that it is from his perspective it is a
an
inevitability and given the
inevitability of that and given the fact
that the real nature of the stock market
is to allow people to gamble if I can
pull that on top of that I can build
what I believe has been the the highest
performing company of the last five
years seven years I mean some crazy
number of years and again what's his
real product his real product is giving
the average person the ability to use
all of the gambling mechanisms of the
stock market but on
bitcoin it's genius it's literally
genius and it is working for him it's
working for a lot of people man this is
a this is why I wish uh I I've really
tried I've talked to a lot of people
about this who are trying to convince me
that this is not gambling and every time
I walk away going the right way to see
this is gambling it has way more higher
predictive validity because the big
dollar movements on all of this stuff is
not tied to fundamentals I'm not saying
there aren't fundamentals there I'm just
saying that's not how these companies
are valued they're valued based on
sentiment they're valued based on how
people feel about it not based on the
fundamentals and if you know that people
want to gamble based on sentiment and
you can give them this ultimate thing to
gamble on that has this High volatility
there's always something happening it's
trading 365 24 hours a day like yeah
gangster yeah and to your point when of
the highest performing stocks of The
Last Five Years cuz it was $112 in
August of 2020 and it just closed at 336
so that is that's more than 360x like
it's crazy so we shall see how that
works out um I'm Bitcoin long so I feel
like it's the right move so yeah I mean
look uh not Financial advice but in
terms of thesis like have a thesis and
unless something breaks in your thesis
yes and the thesis on bitcoin seems very
simple more people over time will
believe in a digital future money is one
of the most important things when you
think about what your future is going to
be making money digital clearly people
are literally rushing to make money
digital it's already been digital in a
week way yeah uh and now it's becoming
digital in a sound way uh I won't
fractal uh into that um but that
is that is I think the thing that you
can bet on just even even if if you just
look at from a wealth transfer
perspective you got a lot of Boomers
that are about to die they're going to
hand that money to their kids what are
their kids going to do with it kids are
going to put some percentage maybe small
but they're going to put some percentage
of the wealth into Bitcoin so as long as
that is true then that number is going
to keep going up because it is finite
and so you have people competing for a
scarce resource trying to get away from
inflation and if we can't GDP our way
out of the inflation then that's really
going to be a thing now a bigger
question is what if AI does all the
things that I think it's going to do and
we literally drive all that inflation uh
all that debt down by having such a
technological boom that we unlocked four
or 5% GDP and now there's just money
flying around everywhere it's roaring
20s and everything is great then Bitcoin
I hope becomes boring where now it's
just a commodity it's more like gold
it's a great place that you can sock
your money away you don't expect it to
swing in like these huge ways um but
we'll see we'll see if that plays out
but that is that I feel like I can see
pretty clearly that over time it is
going to lose its volatility is that uh
four years is that 40 years I don't know
but I think it will lose its volatility
uh slowly over time it'll just be a
great place like gold um where you can
store wealth store wealth not build
wealth store wealth copy that copy that
um okay let's take a trip to a dark
corner of the internet I did not know
existed and this is white people Twitter
the subreddit white people Twitter let's
go on Reddit so this has gotten
increasingly more dark since the Doge
announcement USA kind of sparked it up
so we're starting to see some scathing
comments Fu Elon were're bringing Out
The Guillotines I vote for Elon seeing
Elon in the in the guillotin in Capitol
Square um he could kill somebody but he
can't spell Shack uh who wants to drop
off a guillotine at the OBM building in
DC tonight and then here goes another
one this is more recently a bunch of we
should store the white house so I how do
that sounds familiar yeah right so how
do you feel about I guess Democrat
insurrectionist like is this a
thing I mean look in the same way that I
looked at January 6th and I was like
look I get it there were people that did
bad things if you attacked a cop you
should go to jail 100% he shouldn't have
pardon the people that went to jail for
attacking cops um but if you put the
shoe on the other foot one should not be
changing their opinion about it so to me
it's like whether it's your team or the
other team that's saying hey look I feel
so disenfranchised I feel something so
bad has happened that I want to see my
voice be heard as long as it is not
people showing up with weapons and like
going crazy I get it like hopefully it
doesn't go too far hopefully people
bring in the um guard if they really
think the National Guard if they really
think that this is going to pop off way
better keep it controlled no FBI agents
trying to rile people up
um unless people are calling for
violence or one of the other things that
the Supreme Court has said violate Free
Speech you've got to let people say what
they're going to say now admittedly a
lot of what you just showed me are
direct calls to violence uh and so I
think a lot of that already crosses a
line but uh I want to see as much grace
given to anybody that feels
disenfranchised that feels that they
need to speak up that's scared I will
assume these guys aren't trolling so
yeah I uh I'm not mad at it people need
to be very careful with their
language that's something I think on
both sides people need to dial the
rhetoric back so um yeah I remember we
saw it with the L uh Luigi um United
Healthcare assassination where we saw
kind of this bubbling of Eat the Rich
it's time to take back what type thing I
look at some of these you know posts and
I'm seeing that same type of like it's
time to take to the streets and do
something do you think that this
temperature is kind of gaining steam
like to me this is like it's well so
this is the thing I was talking about in
our previous episode you are driving on
black ice and I don't yet know if the
car is going to spin out of control when
it hits black ice and people really take
to the streets or if just every now and
then you're going to lose a little bit
of traction but you get back on so a lot
of this is going to have to do with um
what are the results of his policies so
if we are doing all of this and Elon
gets caught that he did something that
he profited by and like he went into
this department and did this thing and
it jumped his stock price oh that's
going to be a bad look people are really
gonna have a problem with that if that
happens and we've gone into a recession
from too many tariffs or you know
whatever the case may be now this stuff
starts to add up and it goes the wrong
way if they start doing this and it's
like oh we're saving $3 billion a day
they figure out how to message that
really cleanly this is how much you're
saving from the amount that we've
reduced this is how much each of you
owed against the national debt and that
number's going down like we're actually
delivering for you guys we're bringing
manufacturing back we've already gotten
concessions from Mexico and Canada so
it's like if he's able to deliver enough
good stuff you're in really good shape
you're going to have people that are
disgruntled you're going to have people
that are very angry and boy oh boy would
I like to see people inherently distrust
themselves if they find themselves
calling for violence so at that like if
I found myself about to tweet something
like that H I'm GNA slow down here pump
the brakes how am I feeling today what's
going on in my life we'll get back to
the show in a moment but first I want to
tell you guys about the food that I eat
more than anything and that is the meat
from butcher box now why do I love
butcher box so much it is very simple I
need my meat to be very high quality I
care a lot about what I eat and I care a
lot about what I eat eight especially
with what I went through with my wife
Lisa and her gut issues I realize very
quickly that you can actually tell the
difference between something that is
grass-fed and something that is not and
butcher box offers 100% grass-fed beef
organic chicken wild cot seafood and all
of it is delivered straight to your door
it's not a bunch of marketing talk
that's real convenience and quality that
they focus on if you sign up right now
you're going to get your choice of top
sirloin ground beef or chicken breast
free in every box for a year plus $20
off your first box go right now to
butcherbox.com
impact and use code impact to check out
to see what I'm talking about again
that's butcherbox.com
impact and use code impact to check out
now back to the
show I don't want to make a mountain out
of a mole hill this is just people
popping off online I don't want to live
in the UK where people are getting
arrested for things that they tweet
people do need to dial it back um so
basically if you put out a tweet that
directly calls for violence um honestly
I'm not a run out and get him right now
kind of guy you're just begging for pain
you got to give some amount of like
sponge it up keep things from getting
out of hand give a little bit of Grace
um but people need to make sure that
they're attached to reality so far
nothing crazy has happened so um we're
getting transparency we're seeing things
we don't like they are shutting down
departments which they said they were
probably going to do so none of this is
out of step with what they promised to
do coming into office I think it is very
shocking for people to rate it which is
happening so I think that's ruffling
some feathers um but the thing that I
worry about the black ice that scares me
the most is the people that hate Trump
have not stopped hating Trump and so now
that he feels like Trump on steroids
it's like where does that go and if they
run out of logical ways to pursue it cuz
before they always had like they were
trying to do the impeachments they were
trying to get him arrested and they just
all the bullets are out of the gun now
you're shooting blanks at this point and
so if they feel truly um impotent that
they're not able to make change how
rapidly does that spill into my only
recourse is violence and I don't think I
made a secret that it is certainly
possible that the internal cold Civil
War we start seeing pockets of violence
now I don't think it'll be much more
than that like I don't I'm not reading
the situation and thinking oh like
things are getting so bad that's where
this goes um but we'll see I mean I
guess keep your eyes on white people
Twitter which uh and see where it goes
yeah all right speaking of white people
on Twitter uh Trump released a video
talking that's how we that's our
transition the president of the United
States is white guy on Twitter all right
cool uh he uh signed an executive order
banning all men boys and men in girls
and women sports let's watch the
video with my action this afternoon we
are putting every school receiving
taxpayer dollars on notice that if you
let men take over women's sports teams
or invade your locker rooms you will be
investigated for violations of Title 9
and risk your federal fund there will be
no federal
F so this will effectively end the
attack on female athletes at public K12
schools and virtually all us colleges
and universities I don't think we've
missed anything but if we do we'll make
it up very quickly wow and said that
filled with a bunch of women and
athletes behind him um clapping in
solidarity what's your take
yeah I mean this to me is a is a pretty
obvious move now admittedly five years
ago this would have felt like really
radioactive and it would not be a topic
that I wanted to touch seeing how this
has consumed JK Rowling I am very sad
I'm very glad obviously she cares about
this so deeply and knowing her past I
get it um
but seeing how allc consuming it became
to stand up and and speak out against
this that's that's pretty brutal uh and
so I'm very glad that we're past that
this though does seem like the most
self-evident move of all time uh why do
I think that because the reality is that
men and women are biologically different
it it you can't imagine how surprised I
was to hear that that was controversial
so uh I had my head down for I mean two
decades just building companies and I
One Day say like well obviously men and
women are different and somebody was
like whoa like I don't think you
understand I was like wait what that's
controversial like I had no idea uh I
think that um Jordan Peterson is right
that it is possible that from the
architecture of the human mind it is the
most de deep seated biologically encoded
division that we have and when you think
about from a survival standpoint you
have to understand the difference
between men and women and so that one
always felt like whoa I did not expect
to end up here I don't know if we're all
the way to the idea that they're doing
it simply to completely erode the
foundations of modern thought uh that's
like the take on the um French
postmodernist maybe yes maybe no I
haven't looked closely enough at it to
say one way or the other but just look
at from an evolutionary standpoint men
men and women are very different and for
me this is the most clarifying thing
ever because women are the sexual
Gatekeepers men are the answer to the
question of what do women want and so
women want not not in like a we did this
kind of way but in a blind watchmaker
way of throughout evolutionary history
it behooved women to Grant sexual access
to men that were stronger certainly in
physical upper body that were more
aggressive uh that were more risk-taking
all of that and so now you create this
thing that's just going to be better at
most sports that use fast twitch fiber
explosiveness uh strong upper body like
all of those things and we're not
talking at the averages here talking at
the end of the bell curve so the best of
the best so the greatest male athlete uh
in the vast majority of sports is always
going to outperform the greatest female
athlete and buy a lot and so once you
know that then it's like okay well hold
on a second uh if we know that that is
true and you're talking about letting
biological men compete in female sports
you're going to see a very obvious thing
take place which is all of the
biological males will be begin to
dominate in those Sports so then it
becomes a question of do women want to
compete in sports against the best
players regardless of sex or are they
more comfortable being like look I'm
never going to be as good as those guys
and so I want to play with people that
are more naturally grouped around my
talent set so this is a big thing in
gaming where uh if you're playing a
competitive game there's something
called an ELO score so you get a rank
based on the people that you beat by how
much you beat them who beats You by how
much
and they you know kind of like in chess
they give you a ranking and so you in
fact literally ELO score comes from
chess so you now get this Rank and so
you're always playing against people
that are roughly in your rank and so if
you ballpark it to they're trying to
create a situation where you win 50% of
your games so it's like cool it's a
great place to be work a little bit
harder maybe you can increase that
number and now you have a winning season
and fantastic so it really feels like if
I work hard I can get ahead and now
you're putting them in a situation where
no matter how hard they work they're
going to be going up against people that
are so far outside of their ELO score
they're they're just going to dominate
on them and so if I had to play video
games against a world champion
14-year-old that's not going to be fun
like he's just going to be able to do
things physically that I can't do given
my age and so you want that you want
some Arbiter of why I play against this
person or that person now one easy way
to do it is to just do it by sex now the
reason I think that's better than giving
every sport an ELO score is that it is
just inevitable that take soccer for
instance the greatest female soccer
player of all time will never make a
professional male soccer team it's just
not going to happen and so there's
footage it's horrible of the like I want
to say 15-year-old team beating the
professional women's team I think it was
the team don't hold me to this but I
think it was the team that won the World
Cup M and they dominate all the women in
the world but they get their asses
handed them by a bunch of 15-year-olds
just because of the physical power
Street uh speed aggression all of that
it's just a totally different game so
that's where I would love to see just
some hey we do encounter the real world
we want to be compassionate but we're
just up against the truth of biology
here so you can give a a man all the
hormones you want in the world but if
they grew up with um male hormones they
go through
um puberty as a male their tendons are
thicker uh they have more fast twitch
fibers like there's just all these
different things that go into it and so
the great example I forget if it's um
Dave Chappelle but was like you could
give all the estrogen in the world all
the female hormones in the world to uh
Lebron James and he's still going to
score 125 points in uh a WNBA game and
so then the next question becomes well
then we should be stopping them from
going through puberty that's where I
throw throw a very aggressive flag on
the field um I think that that for
reasons that are probably beyond the
scope of this conversation that that is
do I want to say criminal I want to say
criminal I'll say that I'm using that as
a temporary word for now I'd want to
think through that more but that
legitimately feels criminal to me uh
just as I would be a ghast if somebody
let their kid get a tattoo uh at nine I
would be a Gass if they put them on
hormone blockers we just do not know the
long-term consequences the stuff that's
coming out of um Europe on the studies
that they've done on this because they
were really early to that Trend they are
not good and I know that certain clinics
have stopped offering uh transition
surgeries to people uh because they've
ended so badly it's just For Better or
Worse man we we do not have biology
mastered like that yet now if one day we
do and you can go through a process that
legitimately changes you at the cellular
level and there's no ongoing side
effects I could not care less if
somebody wants to switch gender I don't
think there's any moral problem with
that it's not weird like hey do your
thing yeah um but we're not in that
moment and so you're taking these
incredible risks at an age that I just
think is absolutely insane and start
throwing in Munch house and syndome by
proxy and you get parents that want
their kids to go down that path and now
parents are encouraging oh God so that
one's just uh strikes me as a very bad
idea so yeah I think I expect that to be
very
popular I feel like it's popular now but
you kind of struck it in the head when
you first started in the sense that this
this was a toxic idea for him to even
come out and say it it wasn't easy to
and I'm sure there's a lot of people who
feel attacked and violated because of
this statute but I I don't know it I
think the K through 12 thing is where I
kind of draw my line because if this was
a 21 year old professional League like
yeah if you guys want to intermingle to
your point do your thing it doesn't
really matter but to your point ofstead
of it being okay little girls little
boys
competing there's a difference between
those two sports so instead of us
separating them let's make the little
boy go on these medications and then now
he's okay to be to and it's just like
you're you're trying to medically
intervene on something that hasn't even
been fully developed yet and just let it
cook like let that person they can't
even drink yet but they know they can
like switch gender like I feel like
that's a little bit too too soon it's a
little bit too soon for me aggressively
agree but let's go back to the one that
you don't have a problem with the 21 and
they're going to change their league
would you be okay with a woman in that
League saying okay then I would like to
take testosterone like inhuman amounts
of
testosterone God bless you take like so
you're cool with that yeah yeah so that
one's like the open field anybody
transgender come on in females on
testosterone I'm all I'm here for it you
you can go and you can try because I I
level I definitely think that you will
get exposed because I think there are
when you say you will get exposed what
do you mean because because I was
thinking like a lot of times I have seen
people try to cross over because they
underperform in their uh biological
gender so they go to the opposing gender
to try to get a leg up to your point
they're trying to become they might be
134th in their uh gender then they go to
the end gender and they might be number
three or four and they're going to move
up or one by a country mile or one um
and I was going to say you get exposed
but then I thought about like the
Olympic situation where it was alleged
but she just had higher test
levels but is that enough is it a XY
chromosone and and now we're like doing
blood analysis on people and I'm just
like what happened to just like sport
like but what do you mean we do blood
analysis on people all the time for
doping all the time no but I'm saying is
that like we created girl sports for a
reason so the fact that now we're trying
to undo that and act like the people who
did it before were completely idiots but
did you just go back to the young kids
because I I want to be in the most
problematic of the things you said the
hardest one to you just want to step
into my problematic View no no hold on
hold on not your problematic view it's
the hardest one to answer because yeah
it's not kids these are adults let them
do what they want so I'm saying that's a
much harder question to answer so let's
look at the hard one because I think
neither of us are going to get as much
backlash for saying yeah don't do on
young kids but let's really lean into
the backlash so in that 21 because I
have what I think is a silver bullet
that says you cannot do what you're
talking about but I have to understand
like for instance how do you feel about
um Lance Armstrong doing all the blood
doping that he did to win at the tour to
France like it hate it it's it's illegal
so I hate it and the only reason I'm
putting this the quotes is cuz like I
wasn't checking for bicycle like doping
I didn't know it was that big of a deal
I didn't know it was that rampant it's
just like baseball I like baseball when
they were on steroids it was more fun
they hit more home runs okay so you are
cool that like I want to see the the
biggest freaks in nature doing whatever
perform at the absolute highest level I
had somebody who used to play baseball
growing up they said people think you
take steroids and now all of a sudden
you're good at something you still have
to have skills you still have to have
talent a needle isn't going to magically
solve all your problems now it can
separate you from other people who might
have the same talents but didn't take
that extra step so do you want to see
the boards do anything to uh limit the
harms to the players even though it
would make them better limit the harms
to the play I if you do a bunch of um
growth hormone and stuff like that it is
going to shorten your life I mean that
that is basically a guarantee so knowing
that but there will be more fun to watch
I didn't know that steroids kill you I
didn't know that it was still I didn't
go that far you said it will shorten
your life so you don't have to look a
lot farther than bodybuilders to see
like what happens when you're uh on that
stuff it can affect the size of the
valves in your heart and does all kinds
of crazy stuff um so I don't think
anyone is going to say that the
unchecked use you will see in
professional sports when there is a
financial incentive to get bger
fer it it will go crazy if people just
say do whatever you want uh in fact can
people it it's made legal can people
play coded out so that they don't feel
the pain and they're way more
aggressive um I'm not mad at that either
like you're being very consistent so I'm
really not mad at that either I heard
there was rumor that certain basketball
players were playing High because they
play better High yeah it was just like a
conversation with the coach don't ask
don't tell look the other way and I'll
drop my points you're perfectly happy
hey it's consistency I love that so as
uh who was it um I think it's the guy
from prageru Dennis Prager I believe uh
who said I don't mind disagreement I
just look for clarity and that is very
clear Drew I think that um there is
something to be said about what all call
like the robot League where humans can
augment themselves go crazy but to me
that's very separate if I'm watching say
the Olympics what I really want to see
is what can a human do not what can an
augmented human do which that hey that
could also be cool maybe that's way
better maybe we all get into it and we
just accept hey when you go into that
like you're going to shorten your life
you're going to do things that are
absolutely terrible for you but if you
want to do it and we want to watch you
do it great I legitimately have no
problem with that if it's an adult and
they're making their own decisions don't
care as long as it's all above board
it's out there like let them go ham
neurological implants I'm here for it
like do your thing um yeah that to me
I'm not weirded out about that but that
to me needs to be its own separate thing
like if somebody said hey like uh when
Vince McMahon launched the XFL we're
doing an all transgender League yeah
word let's go
like why I don't know why anybody would
have a beef with that now you might
watch it and go well it the they're
faster and stronger than women but
they're not like all the way to like a
full m
all of their natural testosterone and
pushing themselves so I'd rather watch
that but at least that makes sense like
even playing field I just want to know
what the playing field is yeah and for
me I would love to see a league where
it's like this is humans like as close
to unadulterated as possible but like if
it's training I'm all for yeah they can
use steroids if they've been injured to
overcome an injury or something like
that I don't have a beef with that so
and I think they have ways around that
now where it's like you have to be clean
for six months or something um so anyway
that is my take this is I think this one
will be way less controversial than it
was before but at least now we can talk
openly about the deal yeah I'm curious
to see the veral effects cuz like you
like you pointed out the Olympics was
the biggest one I think that we can
remember the boxer who was knocking
everybody out and then the one lady I
think she was from Ukraine who like
protested didn't even want to fight her
because of this so um yeah what did you
think about her
protesting I feel like you have that
opportunity I don't know if you should
use it to be political personally like I
would have went out swinging um but
that's just all ego talking so that's
tough because it it is a uh impact Sport
and so if you're going up against
somebody that can really like give you
permanent brain damage for instance
that's tough because there are male
Fighters male Fighters that can kill
other male Fighters so if you're going
in with somebody that has the genetic
profile through a twist of fate whatever
um they have the genetic profile of a
male and you don't yesh the connective
tissue the strength of the muscles the
explosiveness you're taking a lot of
shots to the head to prove a point
that's that one starts to worry me that
one I don't know what to do about though
if she is genetically female but just
happens to have ridiculously high
testosterone but if I remember right
there were markers that she was um um
not clearly female yeah it wasn't X it
was XY not XX or something like that
yeah it was a wasn't like a I I I didn't
look closely enough at it but it was my
understanding that this was like a rare
genetic thing it wasn't like she was
trans but anyway I don't know if that's
true in AI news Google secretly removed
something off their website they were
trying to be a little bit tricky tricky
with it originally they had a guidelines
about all their AI promises and one of
the promises was they would not use AI
for weapons y that has mysterious L been
removed from their website must have
been a
typon how do you feel about AI Warfare
and I feel like Google is now announcing
that they probably just did a deal with
the fed or something like see a pentagon
release soon or something AI in weapons
is the future 100% guaranteed there was
never a question it was never going to
be any other way and this but hold on it
should be you want that you don't want
to kill human life if you can avoid it I
get the Terminator scenario the thing
that freaks them out is like this thing
is going to become sentient and then
it's going to come after us but just
like having self-driving cars is not
going to turn into chistine the movie
about the car that ran around killing
people or overdrive Maximum Overdrive
where the cars turn on people and start
killing them that no one's worried about
that rightly so they're going to be far
safer than humans they can read data so
much faster and so you you will have a
huge blowup when they accidentally kill
somebody because the human psyche says
being accidentally killed by a human I
have somebody that I can point it at and
blame it on and just pour my grief at
and I don't get that with an AI it's
just this cold killing machine and so
there is something extra horrible about
that happening but the reality of vastly
smaller numbers of people dying is is a
well worthy tradeoff also imagine being
in a scenario where you have some sort
of sensors or whatever where it knows
that's friendly I'm not going to kill it
and so you very much want to be in that
situation because I think we would all
be shocked to know how often people die
of Friendly Fire like I just can't
imagine it's dark bullets are flying
everywhere you see a Target you take
them out only later to find out or
you're you call in a strike but the
coordinates are wrong and boom you get
bombs dropped on your own people it
those kinds of things should all but go
away I think people are forgetting that
narrow AI is so much better than humans
just like buy a country mile if you were
only asking that thing to do one thing
it it is going to be just orders of
magnitude better safer all of that so um
I get the initial alarm but the reality
is you want AI getting into if you're
going to have weapons and we are you
want those to be very good AI clearly
but you want them to be driven by AI for
sure yeah to your point there's a stat
that it reads right now that 17% um in
Operation Desert Storm was like Friendly
Fire casualties Yik 17 I thought it
would be high but I didn't think it was
that high yeah crazy um but does this
fundamentally change Warfare like I'm
thinking of back in the Roman days where
everybody used to line up on one side
and say one two three go and then they
started to fight then the guns then now
it's drones like is there going to be a
new level where is just a bunch of
people in control rooms and it's just
robot army versus robot army or drones
versus drones okay let me really I'm
going to put my sci-fi writer hat on
here okay so uh if I'm am trying to beat
you in a war I am probably going to do
something like like what Israel is doing
I want to avoid the international
condemnation so I'm going to send you
letters I'm going to tell you get to get
out and then I'm going to absolutely
destroy everything in your country uh
I'm going to tear apart your um your
infrastructure I'm going to laser target
the people that are Marked for Death and
we're going to go in and it's going to
be way more Surgical and it will be
absolutely horrifying because when you
see the whatever 100,000 Chinese drones
that lift up over into your neighborhood
and they just carpet bomb everything uh
or you're a battleship out in the ocean
and you see those 100,000 drones coming
for you there's I mean we'll develop
counter measures and stuff but man
that's going to be a real terrifying
sight and so there will be level of just
psychological horror that goes along
with all of this um you know when the
robot dogs with machine guns roll into
your neighborhood and they speak to you
and they tell you like lay down do this
don't move whatever and people are laser
targeted if they move in any way
anything seeming like the wrong thing
and just and they just take all those
people out there's something horrifying
about feeling like you cannot outsmart
them like you cannot run you know
whatever that that Terminator whole
quote is so yeah look that's going to be
scary but it will allow Warfare to
become far more surgical but it will
probably also make Warfare just way more
devastating because um in the early days
of this you can get caught off guard to
a level that's terrifying because drones
are so easy to Rapid deploy and get them
to move in these swarms it's yeah it's
going to get pretty crazy but I do think
it will be very precise pinpoint
strikes I think the opposite I think
when you can like push a button and like
level a a neighborhood I think it gets
easier to push those buttons than it did
if you had to send in Seal Team Six and
eight people and you know it's more
collateral damage and things like that
so I while I agree that technology is
going to proliferate Warfare I think
that that it's going to remove the uh
humanistic aspect of it of like okay
what's the most strategic way we can do
it where it's going to be now all right
let's just send the drones in blow up
everything up and we'll get the report
yeah so now play that out so the reason
that I think that this is actually a
better scenario is Wars historically
have been devastating in human life to a
degree that's that's really hard to
comprehend and I I think you're going to
see that go away now the cost of
infrastructure and all of that is going
to be very horrific if what we just saw
happen to Gaza is any indication of okay
we got as many of the people out as we
could uh but we have the Weaponry to
just really level things so your
infrastructure costs are going to be
horrible but I would much rather that
than loss of life also I'd really like
to see this battle being played out in
technological ways where we're trying to
dismantle their drones they're trying to
dismantle ours we're trying to attack
their critical infrastructure their
military post they're trying to attack
ours but it feels way more like a game
of chess than it feels like a game of
demoralized based on the loss of human
life um and so in a fantasy land a lot
more of this becomes this clandestine
battle where we're constantly like
they're trying to [ __ ] up our economic
system we're trying to [ __ ] up their
economic system it just it it is a
horrifying still horrifying form of War
for sure because uh if one of those
systems were to go down you could make
it really gnarly really fast um but in
many ways I think that is going to be
better given that my value system is
human life trumps everything and so I
would rather it be robot on robot when
it can be uh I'd rather be robot V robot
for you know protecting the different
things to intercept these things before
they get to us um and that in essence it
becomes an intellectual battle that's
happening at the level of Technology um
that is I don't know it feels like yes
it gives us that distance and it maybe
makes people more likely to press the
initial button but it will be such a
back and forth battle um at the level of
technology that I think we can spare a
lot of lives we can spare a lot of the
PTSD though from what I hear drone
operators still suffer from a lot of
PTSD you would think maybe they wouldn't
uh but I we' need to look this up but
I'm pretty sure I remember coming across
an article that said that the rates of
PTSD are either on par or close to on
par with people that are actually on the
ground and there might even be something
about with when you're on the
battlefield you're there with there's
camaraderie it's people that you feel
you love you have this deep connection
to uh versus like you're alone in a
headset you're like I just killed those
people and so there isn't that same
sense of like I'm I'm in a theater of
war and then I come back out there's
something far weirder about like I'm
halfway around the world and then I just
go home to my wife and kids so um we
need to look up the actual stats on that
but I have a feeling that humans are
still not going to be quick to kill and
destroy uh that we're going to try to
exhaust all diplomatic all technological
solutions before we get to that so for
me it seems like a way way way net good
um to be more surgical to be more
technological in nature you just don't
want to find yourself in a situation
where one side has um artificial super
intelligence they get a quick takeoff
they're able to make technology that so
outpaces what you have to defend
yourself with that you just get
subjugated overnight like it's just done
there there's you don't even have a
mechanism by which to fight back so that
would be the nightmare scenario I don't
expect that to happen but that would be
the only time where it's like okay wait
a second that did not go well copy okay
the percentage of drone operators who
suffer from post-traumatic stress varies
depending on the study but is generally
low to moderate okay that's great okay
so I've seen that 46 to 48% number as
well that's the one number I pulled up
all right so speaks to your thing that
yes people are going to be um less
empathic if they're doing it from far
away uh but again the hope is that
you're putting fewer and fewer humans in
the way that your soldiers become
robotic your Pilots are robotic and so
if you think about all the people that
were lost in the bombing raids during
World War II it's a pretty catastrophic
loss of human life both on the receiving
end of the Munitions because it's very
hard to be precise and just with all the
people that had to fly these insanely
dangerous missions
yeah future warfare we shall see um and
now time for relationships cuz dating is
trash go that was a nice transition from
robots are going to kill you to robots
are going to [ __ ] up your dating life
yeah my dating life is going to kill me
so you know it's a slower death it's a
slower more painful death uh our boy
alex Heros had a great clip let's pull I
love this quote by idra Saba he said men
fall in love with what they see women
fall in love with what they hear
which is why women will always wear
makeup and men will always lie oh man so
this is why you say it again I said no
notes for me that that seems accurate oh
yeah bang on so getting people to
understand that you are having a
biological experience is like one of my
missions in life because if that quote
is born of somebody that just steps back
and goes oh this is true and it has
these consequences or it predicts these
consequences and I look into the real
world and do I see that yes of course I
do um and that's why it always feels
weird to say to Lisa like look as you
age you're going to have self-esteem
issues because you have unknowingly been
valued and thusly valued yourself for
your beauty for your youth your
attractiveness and that just inherently
fails and it's all going to fail you
just as I'm gaining access to more
resources um that I'm farther in life in
a way that people respect for a man and
so it it will create this really weird
imbalance where um you feel like you're
on the decline from the world looking at
you and the world looks at me as
somebody who's ascendant and so you have
to start building in these mechanisms to
deal with that now so if you can come
into a relationship and say listen
um I understand that I'm going to be
drawn to things that are visual so I'm
going to need to find a way to make this
relationship about something more than
that so like I I will often tell people
when I look at a really attractive 22y
old woman nature reaches into my brain
and squeezes and it's a really
fascinating uh thing that it can trigger
such a strong response but because I
know it's coming because I know that
that's how the human mind works I've
made sure that I've taken the time to
lay out what my value system is like do
I value the um sexual conquest or a new
sexual experience more than I value
sharing a life with somebody and having
a partner that's building things with me
that's created things with me that I can
be vulnerable around that I can be sick
and know that I'm going to be taken care
of that if I um were to lose the things
that the world considers valuable in a
man like access to resources that she's
still going to be there with me love me
because we have agreed and reinforced in
each other that sharing the life through
the ups and downs is the juice that is
the thing that gives us the best
emotional well-being now if you haven't
thought through it and you find yourself
in a situation where all of a sudden
somebody you never thought that you
would be able to get sexually is coming
on to you and it's like no no no I
really want this to happen and you
haven't built a value system and you
haven't thought about that stuff and
that hand reaches into your brain the
Invisible Hand of nature reaches into
your brain squeezes those neurochemicals
and gives you a you feel alive you're
exhilarated you feel
desired and then people act on it and
so that's where I think people get into
trouble is not recognizing that those
are the ways that nature is playing on
us so a woman is looking at a man and
judging him for are you I'm going to be
in a really vulnerable position first of
all just being far weaker than the male
of the species at the extremes obviously
um and that if I get pregnant I'm going
to have to be taking care of this kid
I'm going to be super vulnerable I won't
be able to go out and do the things that
I would otherwise do to care for the kid
so I need to know that you're going to
do that and so there's a book called a
billion Wicked thoughts that calls the
female brain the Miss Marbles detective
agency which I always thought was a
brilliant way to think about it so a
woman is constantly trying to assess how
do you think about me what do you feel
about me it's all about relationships
and connection and so understanding that
oh if I want to make you feel good like
if you flip his quote
if I want to make you feel good instead
of lying to you I'm going to invest in
the relationship because I know you're
trying to sus me out I know it's going
to matter to you profoundly how I make
you feel about the stability of our
connection now if you want to really
make your relationship feel awesome you
want to make sure that she feels secure
you want to make sure that she really
feels feels not has heard intellectually
that she feels that you're going out of
your way to keep stoking that fire of
passion and attraction and that you're
constantly letting them know by the way
that you find them attractive and I'll
be interested to see how this plays on
YouTube but uh in my life with my wife I
made a promise to myself very early on
that if I look at her ass and I think yo
your ass looks good I'm gonna say that
out loud every time and some people
think oh that's so demeaning you're
pointing out but I'm like listen my
brain is triggered in a way that that's
a very positive experience for me and I
know regardless of what the [ __ ]
internet tells you that that's going to
feel awesome for her to be like you're
beautiful I'm drawn to you I'm sexually
attracted to you this is the crazy thing
women do not get turned on seeing a
flaccid penis but they do an ere penis
because in ere penis says yo I'm
attracted to you obviously context is
[ __ ] everything don't go send dicks
everybody yeah dickpics are if you're
sending dick pics you are first of all
you're a man uh second you do not
understand women so this is not me
saying that simply seeing an erect penis
it it
is it is a sign that you're attracted to
that woman and so if the context is
right and that's the moment that you've
created like that is an exciting thing
and can be a very um unnerving thing for
a woman if you're not getting arct
because now it's like oh wait am I not
attractive and so having all of that out
on the table and being like look this is
how you're going to read these cues this
is what these cues actually mean coming
from me this is what those cues mean
coming from you and so by communicating
that kind of thing to Lisa it makes her
feel desired it makes her feel seen and
sexual and coming from her husband this
is obviously a very positive thing and
so if I didn't say those things out
because I didn't want to be rude or I
didn't want her to think that I was
objectifying her now I'm missing a trick
because from her husband that's these
are the exact cues that that she wants
now this was transformative for me I
don't know if this is going to hit you
the way that hit me but I was suddenly
like you know me I'm always trying to
build a predictive
engine my wife loves it when I like take
studle photos or whatever and she wants
to like take photos from different
angles and she wants me to like dress up
like she used to love me dressing up at
Halloween as like a a SWAT member and
[ __ ] like that and I [ __ ] hated it
and I'm like I feel so ridiculous you
cannot imagine how uncomfortable I am
doing this
because she one she does like to see
that right it's a turn on for her it's
part of a fantasy great but she was also
projecting her onto me because this is
the Insight women like to be the center
of sexual attention again wanted sexual
attention but this is why women like to
pose when a camera's out they want to
find that like most sensuous angle they
want to dance for you they want to
seduce you all things that like I would
feel absurd coming into the bedroom and
being like slowly unbuttoning my shirt
cuz I don't want to be the center of
sexual attention right I want her to be
the center of sexual attention I want to
pay attention to her and so then I was
like oh that's why women do all the
posing and all that they want to be the
center of sexual attention utterly
fascinating so once you begin to realize
okay the male brain works in a
predictable way a certain way and if you
judge it and say oh my God he's a Los or
whatever because he's looking at my ass
yada y you're fundamentally missing the
architecture of the male brain and why
Evolution has shaped it to be that way
and then same thing uh men will often
miss the female cues and understanding
what they want so the Idris quote is
revealing in a bit of a negative way um
but there are so many other things like
that that once you go okay wait this
person is not a man with breasts I am
not a woman with a penis my brain works
in a very different way her brain works
in a very different way neither one is
good or bad they're just different and
now once I understand that the
predictive validity skyrockets because I
remember in the beginning of my marriage
I was very confused my wife because I
assume she thought like I did act in
ways that I legitimately thought were
crazy because I was thinking if I did
that it would mean this but it doesn't
mean that when she does it and so
reading the book the female brain really
beginning to understand the differences
it's like whoa okay this is enlightening
and has very much allowed us to this is
one of the reasons we've been married so
long is like one we don't judge the
other person for being like that this is
why my wife is not weirded out I told
her literally on our first date whoever
I end up getting into a relationship
with she's going to have to understand I
will forever find other women attractive
and it is crazy to me that men will lie
to their woman's face and say I only
have eyes for you get the [ __ ] out of
here that is not true so an attractive
woman is an attractive woman so my wife
will be like yo that woman's hot I'm
like yeah that woman's hot like there's
no two ways about it and she's not
insecure about it because she knows my
whole thing is I'm committed to you I'm
not committed to you because I think
you're the most beautiful woman that's
ever walked this Earth I'm committed to
you because I'm in love with you I want
to share this life with you it's like a
totally different thing don't get me
wrong I love that my wife is in her
mid-40s and has remained extremely
attractive but one day like it always
wears out and I'm going to be just as
into her in that moment as I am now and
if you can make your woman feel that not
intellectually but like in Her Bones now
you've got a level of Safety and
Security on her side and then she's
going to want to do more for
you I think from a like educational
perspective and from like a
philosophical perspective no notes I
completely in in in this like in
alignment with what you're saying I
think however yeah in the in the
realities of 2025 I have to actually
give Lisa this credit as well like what
she said on our last episode where she
was saying that some people wear their
traumas and then it kind of turns into
modifications of their personality where
on paper I feel like a lot of women
would like to be affirmed in that way
and will like to be told those things
and if we were starting at zero that's
how it would be to kind of navigate and
get us to marriage but I think a lot of
times two people meet one person is at
five the other person is at -30 and
you're trying to figure out what part of
your journey you are in how into this
you are do you want a person or do you
just want temporary company do you
actually like me or you am I the
transition so that you get yourself
confidence back to go somewhere else
like there's all these extra nuances and
layers that I think muddies the waters
that we can't get to those authentic
like what do you actually need to hear
from me to fill in my bones what do I
actually need to hear from you and fill
in my bones so that way we can get
together and prosper we have to kind of
get through all this minutia on top of
like our past trauma our past hurts and
things like that so I like it on paper
but it's just like I don't know if
that's everybody's lived experience just
because we're wearing our traumas like
I'm wearing this hoodie you're
triggering me with lived
experience okay so I'm gonna I'm gonna
take the full trigger here uh okay so
here is how I would approach it yeah um
The Red Pill Community will give you a
really big truth that you ignore your
own Peril which is that you need to
control the frame so uh women date
across or up mhm it's known as hypergamy
MH so a woman is going to
be uh likely there's no universals but a
woman is likely going to find it
attractive if you can playfully create a
frame and hold it and so if you can
playfully is very important if it seems
overly serious it's not going to be
interesting but remember my first date I
said to the woman who is now my wife
like yeah I look at porn I don't
understand why people get weird about
that uh yeah I'm always going to find
other women attracted people that lie
about that they're out of their minds
I'm like if Brad Pit walked in right now
with six-pack this is like this was
during Fight Club Brad Pit okay I was
like if homeboy walked in with looking
like that and you said I don't find him
attractive I only have eyes for you I'd
be like you are lying I know way too
much about biology so if you can
playfully hold a frame
you can get away with like crazy truth
so here's how I would play the game if I
encountered a woman that
was3 first of all I'm goingon to be very
honest and people can hate me if they
want to there is a level of trauma that
somebody could be going through where
I'm like yeah I'm not interested in this
so um they haven't done enough work they
should come back to me in a year or
whatever when they've gotten themselves
to a more reasonable level so just to be
clear there is a level of trauma where I
just be like let's have a nice dinner
and then I wish you the best goodbye
never see you again never yep I'm not a
social worker okay I'm I'm here to find
soci I'm here to find a
peer and so that's yeah so but if we're
there and you know she's talking about
like trauma lived experience which lived
experience for me is a trigger because
it's somebody saying I need you to
validate my emotions and that is that
does not make sense to me that is not a
way to live your life anybody who is
sitting there waiting for somebody to
validate their feelings I'm just telling
you I get the impulse I have the impulse
too I'm just saying it's not useful yeah
now my wife gave me a line that I
thought was incredibly powerful and I'm
in my whatever mid to late 20s and I'm
just complaining endlessly about I I
have not become the man that I want to
become and she goes after the 856 time
of me complaining about it and her
telling me I believe in you and ah uh
she goes insecurity is not sexy you know
that
right and I was like
[ __ ] and that [ __ ] changed my life now
she hates when I tell this story because
she was like no it wasn't like that yes
it was and it was exactly what I needed
to hear now going back to playfully
holding a frame that's a wife who's got
years of making me feel supported and
encouraged she can play that card but
I'm gonna get to the same idea and I'm
gonna start asking questions like
okay if somebody experiences trauma
whose responsibility in the relationship
is it to deal with that trauma is it the
significant other who it's their job to
just hold space every time that flares
up and just make sure you're okay and
just always give you a soft place to be
or is it they create that space that
soft space where you can feel okay I've
got a partner in this but that the
expectation is that you use that space
as a way to begin to climb your way out
of the hole Yeah you have to do that
okay it is an injury that has been done
to you that you did nothing to deserve
but unfortunately you're the only one
that can solve this problem and I would
find the most fun I would have to know
something about her and I would queue
off of things that she talked about in
the night or you know whatever shared
knowledge we have to try to do that in a
fun way but like really getting down to
whose responsibility is it when they get
hurt and there's nobody that can help
them other than themselves um and if
that person is like oh I need a man
that's going to show up for me every
time no matter how many times I'm in
that dark place they're just going to be
for me be there for me time after time
they don't judge me they're not pushing
me to be better and be like man I wish
you the best have fun but dude this is
why mindset is like the number one thing
that I would look for in a partner if
that person isn't obsessed with trying
to get better for their own sake yeah
that like I want to be in more in
control of my emotions I want to find a
way to dissipate this trauma like and
I'm going to do whatever it takes to
alleviate this and I understand that
it's a burden I have to carry look of
course I want a partner that's going to
be understanding and they're going to be
nice where I just I can't get it
together and I want them to hold that
space for me yeah that's what a
partner's for if I feel like you're
doing the work that only you can do
because you can't give her her
self-esteem you can't give it to her you
can make her feel great you can make her
feel awesome but it will be a literal
empty pit that you will just keep
pouring into and it doesn't go anywhere
she's got to shore up the holes in that
bucket so that as she's in a
relationship with somebody who loves her
and respects her and sees her as a peer
and challenges her and pushes her to be
better and wants to be challenged and
wants to be pushed that suddenly she
sees okay there's safety here but I am
EXP
to be a peer I don't get to be a child I
don't get to Outsource my healing I've
got to do it now if I feel like I've got
that I've got somebody who's like yeah
I'm going to do the work that
understands that infinitely wallowing in
a problem again I get it bad [ __ ] has
happened to people yeah really horrific
[ __ ] but Partnerships are about Peers
full stop end of story and so people
have got to do their own work to get to
the point where they can be a
peer well said all right I got some
homework I like that I'm not a social
worker that was a jumping off for see
we'll see how people feel about that one
in the comments All right we got some
Community questions for you um we GNA
kind of Rapid Fire these all right all
right billu every time you say we can't
beat diio and every time you say
investing is gambling I find myself
muttering Corrections into my headphones
so so listen up one a vesting isn't a
One V one Deathmatch we don't have to
beat do or any more than you have to
beat other meditators or healthy eaters
Dio's success doesn't affect ours and he
isn't some final boss at the end of
investing if I make 100 if I make 10 and
he makes 100 I still made 10 stop
telling people that they can't do
something simply because you think
somebody someone else is better at at it
than they are number two investing
properly isn't gambling it's more
educated it's more similar to dating and
marriage than it is to Vegas educated
selection based on your ability to know
what to look for and what to avoid as
well as cultivating the conviction
strong enough to override fear okay uh
everything they just said there is false
so uh Ray doio is the final boss that
you were going up against people are um
it isn't a One V one Deathmatch that's
the only thing that I will give him but
it is player versus player and so you
people have to understand that when a
stock goes up that's paper money it's
not real can't spend it nothing you can
do with it maybe you could borrow
against it but what you're borrowing
against is the idea that someone at a
future date will pay more than you pay
and people like to put a lot of fancy
language around this but one of you won
or lost in that exchange because if you
sell and they buy and they say this
guy's an idiot for selling I'm going to
buy this because I know that it goes up
they just captured more of the gains
than you did now you may say hey I was
perfectly willing to not get as much out
of this as that person did fine but if
they end up capturing more value they
have won that exchange also I want
people to understand that um the way
that the stock market works is the
reason that I call it gambling it is not
based on fundamentals if a stock was put
in a position where uh no matter what
people thought about it it had a static
price based on the fundamentals of the
business then I wouldn't say it's
gambling I mean it' still be a form of
gambling in that the future is unknown
and you're betting on an outcome which
again is the definition the literal
Oxford uh dictionary definition of
gambling is to uh take a risky behavior
for an expected positive
outcome so hey literally definitionally
that's what you're doing in the stock
market okay so going back to this being
player versus player so the example that
I gave where he's like well if somebody
makes $100 and I only make 10 like hey
we both won fair enough but how does the
stock market usually work the way that
the stock market usually works is
somebody buys something they have an
expectation that it's going to go up it
doesn't go up it goes down they sell in
a panic and they lose that money uh the
reason that people say hey just hold
your stuff in there in an index fund is
because on a long enough timeline if you
don't try to get in and trade and all
that stuff then you really might be able
to make money slowly over time so if we
are talking about
um set and forget index investing you're
limiting your risk but again I want to
make abundantly [ __ ] clear us
treasuries are known as the risk-free
rate of return so the only thing that
people are saying is quote unquote
risk-free is government debt now US
Government debt to be very specific now
US Government debt has been downgraded
from AAA status to Able a plus so the
bodies that judg these things are saying
well is it really risk-free so even the
thing that is supposedly the most
risk-free is not risk-free yeah it's
taking a step back now this also comes
down to I'm not saying first of all I
think the stock market is a miracle and
I want to be very clear that um people
are um we are all very glad that we live
in a world where the stock market exists
because it allows people to aggregate
capital but the way that you aggregate
capital is you sell a piece of your
company into the market and then
basically whatever happens happens to
that could go up could go down but you
as the company were able to capture some
of that resource and then hopefully
you're applying that back into the
company and you're using it to build the
company into something better that gives
the world the thing that it wants
whether it's iPhones whether it's uh
starlink whatever the case may be you
aggregated the capital of the people
that are betting on your company doing
better in the future future yeah now uh
that's like the really sort of basic
part of the stock market that I I would
really love to know what percentage of
gains come from like really long-term
holding I'm going to guess that it's not
a lot when you hear about people really
winning in the stock market what you
have are people that are doing all the
options trading so a day trader is not
in any way shape or form thinking about
the fundamentals of a business what they
are thinking about is sentiment that's
why they say um that you sell the news
meaning as soon as the news gets out
it's going to move the sentiment so you
want to get out um once you understand
that like the swing in the market that
we just had that was a trillion dooll
swing from Deep seek being dropped into
the market no and and it caused a
massive hit to nvidia's business nothing
changed about the current state of
nvidia's business nothing all the
fundamentals are still there still
making all the money that they were
making before what changed was people's
guess their sentiment about how their
future business will be perceived not
even how their future business will
actually be how people will perceive
their future business because at any
time a Stock's price is not based on
fundamentals it's based on how people
feel about it in that moment and what
they're willing to pay in that moment
which is why stocks will swing wildly
very fast people are often doing this on
Leverage which means that they can get
absolutely obliterated they can make a
ton of money on the upside they can lose
Lally infinite money on the downside
depending on the kind of trading that
they're doing okay I don't know how
people look at that and go that's not
gambling even taking the most basic I'm
gonna buy and hold cool guess what there
is no guarantee that the stock is going
to continue to go up so while the best
indicator of future performance may be
looking backwards what's the very thing
that they tell you past performance is
no guarantee of future performance what
are they trying to tell you your [ __ ]
taking a risk what is that thing again
that's taking risk for a desired outcome
it's known as gambling look it up in the
[ __ ] dictionary I actually cannot
transport myself into what people are
trying to fight for to try to tell
people that they're not taking risk I
don't understand I don't know what they
like if I were to go uh it's not
gambling how how does that help people
update their mental model the reason
that I beat this drum so hard is I want
people to understand cut through all the
[ __ ] cut through all the fancy
words if you want to get ahead
financially you either have to work at a
job where you make more money more money
more money so you trade your time for
money great tried and true a lot of
people do it not a great way to get rich
but you can live your whole life doing
it the next way is ownership this is how
I got rich you start with a nothing
company you make something that's so
valuable that people want to buy it from
you you actually have just a ton of
Revenue coming in and so I turned
protein bars that cost less to make than
I could sell them for I aggregated all
that Capital that way then another
company came along and said I bet in my
hands I could make even more with that
company I'm going to pay you a crazy
multiple on what's known as eida and so
basically I'll round it to profit so
we're going to pay you a crazy multiple
on your profit and that's how I got rich
another way to get rich is being in the
stock market and holding for a long
period of time it's still gambling but
you're reducing your risk by saying
overtime all those little fluctuations
that a lot of people make their money on
I just know that even though there's
going to be a lot of swings if I can go
out 20 years if you look back a hundred
years over a 20-year period you're
basically always guaranteed to make
money it's not always true there's
sometimes where it's a little dicey
maybe flat but for the most part you're
going to be pretty safe you will have
made some
money okay then the question becomes
does that somehow become not gambling
because you held it for a long time not
in my book now every time that you are
buying a uh stock or selling a stock you
are saying I know something that this
person doesn't know or [ __ ] I just need
the money and just selling in that
moment but the person that's buying from
you is betting that they know something
that you don't that this stock is going
to go up in price or that they get to
take advantage of your Misfortune for
needing to sell right at that moment and
they're going to be able to ride that up
again there's no guarantees anywhere in
all of this um so I think it is
especially like when I talk about player
versus player I am admittedly thinking
about options trading where it is
literally people will bet in fact let me
be very clear about when this becomes
PVP if somebody is shorting a stock the
mere fact that they short the stock can
cause the stock to go down because it
[ __ ] with people's heads they see whoa
whoa whoa there's a lot of really smart
people with shorts against this stock
and that makes people go uh maybe I want
to sell maybe I want to get out of this
and so then the price starts coming down
so here you have a system that to some
degree can be manipulated not sure how
we don't think that that's player versus
player but if I still can't convince you
that being able to short a stock which
then causes the stock price to go down
isn't PVP then let's talk about what
happened with Wall Street bets on Reddit
where they literally put a company out
of business because they saw what they
were doing and they knew if we can get
people to keep buying this stock it will
get to the point where it trips all of
their leverage and they go bankrupt and
that's exactly what [ __ ] happened
how's that not PVP I the only thing I
can think when I get comments like this
is they want to make sure that people
invest God bless you we want to make
sure that we get people into the system
I'm saying you're going to get more
people into the system if they feel like
oh I actually know what this is
oh if this is gambling my job is to
remove as much of the risk as possible
what are the places that I can go to
where there's low risk okay this whole
US debt that's known as the risk-free
rate of return okay how much do I get
for that let's say right now you get 4%
okay cool that's not great but like if
inflation right now is 2.15% like okay I
can deal with 4% that feels pretty good
I'm outpacing inflation I understand
this is all gambling I don't have a big
risk for a big appetite for risk so I'm
going to take this nice low volatility
thing great shortterm no not even a lot
of long-term uh risks so short-term uh
treasuries I can get out if I see
something going wrong great Index Fund I
don't want to day trade I don't want to
lose a bunch of money in fees I want to
be in index funds because I understand
that this is gambling so I don't want
somebody who thinks they're a real
[ __ ] Savvy Gambler coming and messing
with my money and now because I only
picked a few stocks and I've got
somebody actively Trading and they're
losing money which P.S the vast majority
of day Traders lose money Ray diio as
the final boss Ray Dalo and people like
him spending hundreds of millions of
dollars on Research they get the
brightest mines from all over the world
they measure their trades in
milliseconds and you're trying to day
trade against them not saying it's
impossible there's plenty of people that
are going to do it but that plenty of
people accounts for some ridiculously
small percentage call it five so it's
like 95% of people that are trying to
win at the day trading game because they
do not know who they're up against they
don't understand how all of these
markets work they end up getting beaten
up so I'm just saying recognize it as
gambling if you understand the rules of
the gambling so well that you can
actually go outplay people rad go
[ __ ] gamble I think people should be
able to gamble and again because the
stock market allows us to aggregate
Capital it's a miracle God bless it this
is the thing that drives the economic
engine of America I'm not trying to
scare people off of it I'm trying to get
people in because they actually
understand what this is
and they can decide okay where do I want
to put my money where do I not want to
put my money all of that but I don't
know how people look at shorts short
squeezes and don't admit oh this is this
has got an element of PVP it's not all
PVP all the time it is not an unwinnable
game it's a very winnable game and
basically everybody has to play it so my
only beef is that they're being forced
to gamble because of inflation if it
were purely optional do your
thing but yeah anyway that's my takeaway
and I continue to feel exactly the
same and last one Tom think about what
you know of History does a government
run by the wealthiest as the ruling
class ever do what's right for the
working class ever okay everybody's
going to pursue their own interests and
somebody in power ironically their
largest driving force is to retain power
uh often times you will see people
pursue power and they never really make
that much money doing it but because
they really are powerful they feel good
this is actually one of the things I
think is going on with um us Aid is okay
uh I'm not making a lot of money on
Capitol Hill but I'm able to influence
where millions of dollars go to
different groups and I'm a hero to those
groups in
fact let's talk about Karen bass for a
second she gets flown to I forget what
there was like a uh
inauguration or something that she went
to was it in Ghana it was in Ghana dur
the fires right yeah yeah and I'm like I
get it you're not making a ton of money
you've got a ton of responsibility but
people fly you around and they put you
up in incredible places that's power
because if you're able to direct
attention influence money like you're
you have a thing that people want and
for that you get something and when you
can get laws passed like I'm not even
talking about about the the corrupt
people like maybe Nancy Pelosi is just
ridiculously corrupt because she's way
too good at the stock market way too
good so either as somebody tweeted and
forgive me for not remembering who that
Nancy Pelosi should run the America's
Sovereign wealth fund I thought that was
H hilarious um set that aside okay I'm
not even talking about people that are
corrupt I'm just saying being able to be
like hey you're doing a really wonderful
thing there in Ghana and I want to make
sure that I helps report I'm not saying
she allocated dollars to them I don't
know that she did have no reason to
believe I'm just saying it's things like
that you really want to see them do well
uh and it feels really good to you that
you're going to be able to reallocate
those resources from one place to
another so this is where um we have a
hard truth to be faced which is all
throughout time always and forever in
human history in every single government
that has ever existed from feudal Lords
to the days of gangas Khan to uh hippie
communes to um communism socialism
there's always a ruling class and the
biggest reason that there is a ruling
class is just the logistics of getting a
whole lot of people to agree on anything
just not going to be able to do it and
so we all want it to be simplified I
don't want to [ __ ] think about all
that I've got this thing I have to do
over here I got to take care of my kids
I've got to put food on the table
whatever the thing is that's pulling you
away hey you do that you like reading
about that stuff you understand it I
don't like it I don't understand I don't
want to think about it it just it does
happen always not most of the time all
the time so and it isn't even always the
quote unquote ruler of the country this
is why people often refer to who's the
power behind the throne so the person
out front's the figure head but the
person that actually holds the power is
you know off camera somewhere so
understanding the the nature of the
human mind understanding societies the
structure of societies understanding man
as a political animal and what all that
means you are always going to have the
elites now do the elites have to be
Pricks that are um manipulating
the masses to get what they want that is
a very different question and I think
history shows us that
it's there's always going to be a
certain amount of Corruption of grift I
don't think you're ever going to get
that to zero there are times
where the honor of it all does seem to
take center stage and so there do seem
to be times where it's better than
others but if you went back and read
people speaking at that time they're
going to sound distressingly similar to
now mhm it just you want one where the
abuses are aren't so grotesque that
they're making your life worse but there
are always going to be uneven outcomes
and I think those uneven outcomes can
often be attributed to malice when it's
really just self- serving self-interest
well not only that yes but the the
reason you will never get away with
unequal outcomes is intelligence and a
whole bunch of weird personality traits
that just make somebody better at
something than somebody else like there
are people that meet they're just so
much better
at the easy like meet and greed of
getting to know somebody and I think if
I had a better memory like if I
remembered really remembered people that
I met uh this was supposedly something
that um Clinton was ridiculously good at
he would meet you once five years ago he
would see you instantly remember you
remember your name remember what you
talked about and it just made people
feel seen in a way that like people just
couldn't imagine I'm closer to Brad Pit
who was like Brad Pit has taken a photo
with somebody turned around and asked
them if they wanted another photo like
he had never met them before and he was
like I feel like such a dick and he was
like people think that I'm this [ __ ]
who's just above it and he was like he
he said I literally believe I have
something called broso noia which is the
inability to remember
faces I don't have an inability to
remember faces but God damn do I have a
hard time I'll be like where do I
recognize this person from so uh if I
had just that better thing that I would
be way better at networking which is
like my Achilles heel which you as my
producer know all too well you'd be like
hey reach out to so and so and I'm like
they were on the show you're like yes
[ __ ] uh so yeah that that is why
you're always going to have unequal
outcomes we are not we don't have equal
talents
yeah well say that's all I got all right
everybody if you haven't already be sure
to subscribe and until next time my
friends be legendary take care peace if
you're a business owner looking to scale
I can help I assume you're here because
you know the world is a freakishly
complicated place but with the right
rubric for decisionmaking you can
navigate even the most complex problems
well after scaling my last company to a
billion- dollar exit I knew I had a
winning formula something I call the
physics of progress it works in any
industry and any economic climate bull
market bare Market doesn't matter every
complex problem can be solved if you
know how to approach it from first
principles in the end that's how you
avoid getting trapped in plateaus think
about the biggest challenge facing your
business right now maybe your Revenue
drops every time you step away maybe
your industry is affected by tariffs or
your business partner is holding you
back maybe your marketing is no longer
working or you hate social media and
everyone tells you that's where you have
to be these problems can seem impossible
until you approach them from first
principles that's exactly what I teach
inside the billion dooll CEO program I'm
only working with a select group of
entrepreneurs right now but if you've
got a real business and are looking to
