Latest / THINK BEFORE YOU SLEEP / Learning From Mistakes
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: The more I teach, the more I try to discover
- 0:03Speaker 1: the ways people learn naturally. Because it's very clear to
- 0:08Speaker 1: me that the way that we're taught in school is
- 0:10Speaker 1: not the most effective way to learn. Now, it produces very,
- 0:14Speaker 1: very immediate results. So if you're studying for an anatomy
- 0:17Speaker 1: test and you need to memorize 100 different bones in
- 0:21Speaker 1: the body, you can very well look at a list
- 0:23Speaker 1: of 100 bones, go down the list for a couple hours,
- 0:26Speaker 1: and you can recite all of those bones for that test.
- 0:30Speaker 1: but you wait a couple weeks and you've probably forgotten
- 0:34Speaker 1: about half of those bones. You wait about a year
- 0:36Speaker 1: or so or two years and you've probably forgotten almost
- 0:40Speaker 1: all of the bones that you could originally recite for
- 0:42Speaker 1: that test. So it's clear to me the more I teach,
- 0:46Speaker 1: the more that structure does not work. But there are
- 0:48Speaker 1: things that work very, very well with teaching if you
- 0:51Speaker 1: want people to learn and memorize the things you're trying
- 0:55Speaker 1: to get them to learn. And For me, I've found
- 0:58Speaker 1: that there are three very, very powerful ways to learn. One,
- 1:01Speaker 1: you can tell a story. Two, you can do it
- 1:04Speaker 1: in the form of a song. Or three, you can
- 1:07Speaker 1: use comedy. Like even if the song is crappy, people
- 1:11Speaker 1: will still learn. I remember that we all had the
- 1:13Speaker 1: mitosis song that we had to learn in junior high school.
- 1:17Speaker 1: And that was one of the shittiest songs we had
- 1:20Speaker 1: to hear. But everybody fucking knew what mitosis was by
- 1:23Speaker 1: the end of that year.
- 1:25Speaker 2: But if you want to know something, Kim, just check
- 1:29Speaker 2: out how cells split. They split by mitosis, mitosis. What
- 1:35Speaker 2: every cell knows is when it comes time to divide,
- 1:40Speaker 2: mitosis will be working inside.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Or getting back to anatomy for a second, the only
- 1:48Speaker 1: real anatomy that I remember are things that I've had
- 1:51Speaker 1: personal stories with. Like I know a lot about the
- 1:53Speaker 1: lower back and the spine. because I've had spinal injuries
- 1:56Speaker 1: from judo. Or I've been told stories from athletic trainers
- 2:01Speaker 1: where somebody was a football player, they got tackled, and
- 2:05Speaker 1: they got a displaced fracture in their femur that cut
- 2:08Speaker 1: the femoral artery, and they almost died. And so there
- 2:11Speaker 1: I've learned what a displaced fracture is, I've learned what
- 2:14Speaker 1: the femur is, and I've learned what the femoral artery is,
- 2:17Speaker 1: and I've learned that you can die from causing damage
- 2:19Speaker 1: to the femoral artery. And even anatomical landmarks like the
- 2:23Speaker 1: acetabulum Like I know that one because I had an
- 2:26Speaker 1: anatomy teacher who was an idiot and she would always
- 2:29Speaker 1: pronounce all the words incorrectly and she would say acetabulum
- 2:34Speaker 1: instead of acetabulum like everybody pronounces it. So I know
- 2:38Speaker 1: that that's how you pronounce it and I know what
- 2:40Speaker 1: that landmark is because of the failure of a different teacher.
- 2:44Speaker 1: And that's ultimately what stories are going to come down
- 2:46Speaker 1: to is a story of success or a story of failure.
- 2:51Speaker 1: What should you do What should you not do? Or
- 2:54Speaker 1: they call that a comedy versus a tragedy. Comedies are
- 2:58Speaker 1: what to do. Tragedies are what not to do. And
- 3:01Speaker 1: I think probably most of the things that we learn
- 3:04Speaker 1: are learned from failure or learned from what not to
- 3:07Speaker 1: do because there's a lot more things that you can
- 3:09Speaker 1: do that are wrong than you can do that are right.
- 3:12Speaker 1: And it may start as something as simple as like
- 3:14Speaker 1: you're in a forest and you're in a native tribe
- 3:17Speaker 1: and one of your people says, hey, let me go
- 3:19Speaker 1: check this thing out over here and they don't come back.
- 3:22Speaker 1: You've now learned from that person's failure to not go
- 3:25Speaker 1: over there. Or, if you are going to go over there,
- 3:29Speaker 1: then you can exercise a little more caution than the
- 3:31Speaker 1: person who went over there first. So I think there's
- 3:34Speaker 1: a lot to learn from failure. If you're smart, you'll
- 3:37Speaker 1: learn from your own failures. If you're smarter than that,
- 3:41Speaker 1: you'll learn from your failures plus everybody else's failures. And
- 3:45Speaker 1: isn't that what MGTOW is really here to do? MGTOW,
- 3:48Speaker 1: I think, is largely a response to feminism, or at
- 3:51Speaker 1: least the popular context of MGTOW is a response to feminism,
- 3:57Speaker 1: because feminism has sat there and pointed out all of
- 3:59Speaker 1: the failures and wrongdoings of men. So because nobody was
- 4:03Speaker 1: doing that with women, there was a void in the marketplace,
- 4:07Speaker 1: and so people came up to fill that void in
- 4:09Speaker 1: the marketplace. And it can be stuff like making fun
- 4:13Speaker 1: of women, like the Tom Likas show, or It can
- 4:16Speaker 1: be a more serious analysis. And so certainly I do
- 4:19Speaker 1: both serious analysis and having fun. But today it's going
- 4:24Speaker 1: to be a little bit more serious. And today I
- 4:27Speaker 1: was thinking about this in regards to the wage gap
- 4:30Speaker 1: because I didn't really process that women take different jobs
- 4:34Speaker 1: than men until I heard about the wage gap. And
- 4:37Speaker 1: I think before that I was probably just a standard
- 4:40Speaker 1: male feminist who thought women were just being oppressed. which
- 4:43Speaker 1: is why they didn't make money. This is probably back
- 4:45Speaker 1: when I was in college, when I was still an
- 4:48Speaker 1: idiot socialist, like many people in college. I remember in college,
- 4:53Speaker 1: I had professors who would flat out say they were
- 4:55Speaker 1: a communist, and then the communist party would advertise their
- 4:59Speaker 1: clubs and their promotional materials on campus, on like club week,
- 5:02Speaker 1: or they would just kind of sit out outside the
- 5:04Speaker 1: cafeteria or outside of the food court and advertise communist propaganda.
- 5:09Speaker 1: But when I first heard about the wage gap and
- 5:11Speaker 1: the debunking of the wage gap, I started to think
- 5:14Speaker 1: about in process which types of career decisions do women
- 5:17Speaker 1: make versus the career decisions that men make. And when
- 5:21Speaker 1: women go to school and they study, they tend to
- 5:24Speaker 1: study things that are more so, I would call them
- 5:28Speaker 1: do-nothing careers, like dance, art, theater, psychology, communications. And if
- 5:37Speaker 1: you think about this, and I'm sure anybody who does
- 5:40Speaker 1: any of these fields can find somebody who's really successful
- 5:44Speaker 1: at that field. But the primary difference between an art
- 5:47Speaker 1: major or a psychology major versus like a computer engineer
- 5:51Speaker 1: or any engineering thing in general, or even like a nurse,
- 5:56Speaker 1: is that the people who go into those jobs always
- 5:59Speaker 1: have work available for them. They get the training, they
- 6:01Speaker 1: go to the job, and they go to work every
- 6:03Speaker 1: single day. The people who pick things like art don't
- 6:07Speaker 1: have that. The people, even if you pick psychology, like
- 6:10Speaker 1: if you go get a psychology degree, and you graduate,
- 6:13Speaker 1: one of the things that they don't say is that
- 6:14Speaker 1: if you're going to open up a private practice, nobody
- 6:18Speaker 1: does anything for you. You have to decide when you
- 6:21Speaker 1: work and when you don't work. And so are you
- 6:23Speaker 1: going to decide to wake up at one o'clock in
- 6:25Speaker 1: the afternoon and start your practice then? Or are you
- 6:28Speaker 1: going to wake up when everybody else wakes up and
- 6:30Speaker 1: actually make money? And that's kind of the key issue
- 6:33Speaker 1: with careers like art or even psychology is that nobody
- 6:36Speaker 1: tells you when to go to work. And so what
- 6:40Speaker 1: a lot of people will take that as is I've
- 6:42Speaker 1: got tons of free time as an artist, therefore I've
- 6:46Speaker 1: got tons of free time. I actually fell into this
- 6:49Speaker 1: trap as a yoga teacher, and a lot of yoga
- 6:51Speaker 1: teachers fall into this trap, is when I first started teaching,
- 6:56Speaker 1: I would work three classes a week, which is three hours.
- 7:00Speaker 1: And because my whole life had been designed around you're
- 7:03Speaker 1: either at work or you're at home, or you're at
- 7:05Speaker 1: school or you're at home, when you're at school you work,
- 7:09Speaker 1: when you're at work you work, But when you're at home,
- 7:11Speaker 1: you can screw around. And so I would do my
- 7:14Speaker 1: three hours of teaching every single week, and then I'd
- 7:16Speaker 1: get home and screw around as if I had free time.
- 7:20Speaker 1: And so after a while, I realized that nobody who
- 7:23Speaker 1: is successful in art does that. I know a lot
- 7:25Speaker 1: of people who are successful artists who bring that up
- 7:28Speaker 1: as an option, because I think a lot of them
- 7:30Speaker 1: fall for it and then eventually realize that that's not
- 7:32Speaker 1: the way to go. Like, I think one of the
- 7:34Speaker 1: first people I heard talk about this was Joe Rogan.
- 7:37Speaker 1: where he got his little spot on news radio after
- 7:40Speaker 1: seven years of being in comedy. But he got his
- 7:43Speaker 1: little spot on that show, and you film for a
- 7:45Speaker 1: couple months, and that's it, and then the rest of
- 7:47Speaker 1: the time is free time. And so he would take
- 7:49Speaker 1: that free time and all the money he got from
- 7:51Speaker 1: news radio and fuck around and play pool all day.
- 7:54Speaker 1: He bought Quake 3 and got a T1 internet connection,
- 7:58Speaker 1: which at the time, in the 90s or so, that
- 8:00Speaker 1: was like $ 10, 000 a month, so he could play Quake
- 8:03Speaker 1: 3 without lag and all kinds of, stupid and vain
- 8:08Speaker 1: shit that you might do. But the most damaging thing
- 8:11Speaker 1: that he did during that time was waste his time
- 8:14Speaker 1: not working and not trying to be better than he
- 8:16Speaker 1: already was. Because it's great. You get one show, you've
- 8:19Speaker 1: got a lot of success that way. It may be
- 8:22Speaker 1: your only show. If you want to guarantee that you
- 8:25Speaker 1: get more than one show, then you don't want to
- 8:27Speaker 1: stop improving the second that you get some success. Or
- 8:31Speaker 1: if you had no success... and you want to prove
- 8:34Speaker 1: that you should be allowed to do your job or
- 8:37Speaker 1: allowed to do the thing that you like doing, you
- 8:40Speaker 1: need to actually prove that you can work the kind
- 8:42Speaker 1: of hours that a successful person can work. Because I
- 8:46Speaker 1: think the answer to that question or the answer to
- 8:48Speaker 1: that issue is that a lot of people who say
- 8:51Speaker 1: they would like to be successful actors, who would say
- 8:53Speaker 1: they would like to be successful dancers or psychologists or whatever,
- 8:56Speaker 1: or freelance writers, and freelance writer means you're unemployed, by
- 8:59Speaker 1: the way, if you weren't aware of that, but people
- 9:02Speaker 1: who would like to be successful in those fields wouldn't
- 9:05Speaker 1: like to actually do the work because if they wanted
- 9:07Speaker 1: to do the work that a successful person does, they'd
- 9:11Speaker 1: be doing it without the pay. Instead of sitting on
- 9:14Speaker 1: your ass all day doing nothing, you should be spending
- 9:17Speaker 1: every waking moment that you have the energy for working
- 9:20Speaker 1: on that career that you're trying to get. You're trying to,
- 9:23Speaker 1: in this case, before you would get money doing it,
- 9:25Speaker 1: you're trying to prove that you're actually worthy of that money.
- 9:28Speaker 1: So if you're going to be an actor, you spend
- 9:30Speaker 1: all of your daytime hours, which means you might have
- 9:32Speaker 1: to actually wake up early, you spend all of your
- 9:35Speaker 1: daytime hours going to auditions and trying to get roles
- 9:38Speaker 1: or failing at auditions and learning how to handle auditions.
- 9:43Speaker 1: When those auditions are over, you get home and you
- 9:46Speaker 1: go to your acting class. When the acting class is
- 9:48Speaker 1: over and you get home, you watch movies and you
- 9:51Speaker 1: try to pick up the acting techniques of the actors
- 9:54Speaker 1: that are in those movies. So basically what you're doing
- 9:56Speaker 1: here If you're not good enough at play and pretend
- 9:59Speaker 1: that people will pay you to do it, then you
- 10:01Speaker 1: are spending every waking moment trying to get that good.
- 10:05Speaker 1: Or in the case of things like maybe you think
- 10:07Speaker 1: a little bit outside the box, in the case of
- 10:10Speaker 1: Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, they couldn't get a break
- 10:15Speaker 1: and roll. A lot of times what will happen is
- 10:17Speaker 1: that there's a good script. and then all the good
- 10:20Speaker 1: actors will go for the good script, and if they
- 10:22Speaker 1: pass it up, and you're lucky enough that they pass
- 10:23Speaker 1: it up, they leave all these scraps to the up-and-coming actors.
- 10:28Speaker 1: And it was the case, I forget the movie, but
- 10:30Speaker 1: it was the case that Ben Affleck and Matt Damon
- 10:33Speaker 1: went for a role that Edward Norton ultimately got, and
- 10:36Speaker 1: that was the role that broke Edward Norton and made
- 10:38Speaker 1: him popular and famous. And they watched that get passed by,
- 10:42Speaker 1: and they said, well, fuck. The odds of that ever
- 10:46Speaker 1: happening again are very, very low because all the big
- 10:50Speaker 1: actors are going to want the good movies. So we're
- 10:52Speaker 1: not going to wait for the next good movie. We're
- 10:54Speaker 1: going to work and make our own opportunity. So they
- 10:56Speaker 1: spent like five years writing the script for Good Will Hunting,
- 11:00Speaker 1: and that movie made their careers and made them good actors.
- 11:03Speaker 1: So you're either working until you are so good that
- 11:05Speaker 1: you are now valuable, or you are working to create
- 11:08Speaker 1: the opportunity for yourself like the people of the past have. Otherwise,
- 11:12Speaker 1: you're going to end up doing this thing that every
- 11:14Speaker 1: unsuccessful actor does or every unsuccessful actress or everybody who's
- 11:17Speaker 1: unsuccessful in art. They're going to have all these conspiracy
- 11:20Speaker 1: theories about why they aren't good. Well, you know, it's
- 11:23Speaker 1: really who you know as opposed to what you know.
- 11:26Speaker 1: It's all a man's game or you can only be
- 11:29Speaker 1: successful at art if you do this or if you
- 11:31Speaker 1: do those things. No, I tend to disagree because I
- 11:36Speaker 1: spent quite a lot of time looking at auditions of
- 11:39Speaker 1: bad actors versus the objections from good actors, and it
- 11:42Speaker 1: makes sense as to why those bad actors don't get
- 11:46Speaker 1: the roles versus the good actors. I mean, if you
- 11:49Speaker 1: compare them side by side, you'd say, well, yeah, it's
- 11:51Speaker 1: really obvious why that guy got the role versus you.
- 11:53Speaker 1: That guy is way better than you. Or you can
- 11:56Speaker 1: even do things like watch that show American Idol. I
- 11:58Speaker 1: think that's a perfect example where you see a lot
- 12:00Speaker 1: of good singers mixed in with very crappy singers, and
- 12:04Speaker 1: a lot of the crappy singers get very pissed off
- 12:06Speaker 1: they didn't get picked, but you as a viewer find
- 12:09Speaker 1: it very obvious. why that it didn't get picked. Like
- 12:12Speaker 1: even competing against myself with my own YouTube channel, and
- 12:16Speaker 1: I'm going to mention this because a lot of people
- 12:17Speaker 1: have said they prefer this, is I can have a
- 12:20Speaker 1: timeline that looks like this in my editing program. And
- 12:24Speaker 1: this timeline will take about maybe 30 or 45 minutes
- 12:28Speaker 1: to edit and put together. Or I can put more
- 12:30Speaker 1: effort into it and put more work into it, and
- 12:32Speaker 1: I can have a timeline that looks like this, which
- 12:35Speaker 1: takes somewhere between four and eight hours. I've been getting
- 12:37Speaker 1: a little bit faster at it as I practice more,
- 12:39Speaker 1: but it takes significantly longer to make a timeline look
- 12:44Speaker 1: like this versus the first option where I basically only
- 12:47Speaker 1: edit the audio. But what's happened that when I've started
- 12:51Speaker 1: making the timelines more complex, I've started putting more visual
- 12:54Speaker 1: effects inside of the videos, the videos look a lot better,
- 12:57Speaker 1: and they've been getting better responses. Like the example that
- 13:00Speaker 1: I've used here, this is one of my most popular videos.
- 13:03Speaker 1: I just released it last week, and it's gotten about
- 13:05Speaker 1: two or three times what my average video gets. And
- 13:09Speaker 1: that's good news because that video was a shitload of work.
- 13:12Speaker 1: It was way more work than my average video in
- 13:14Speaker 1: terms of recording and in terms of editing. And the
- 13:17Speaker 1: reason I chose to do this is because, like pretty
- 13:20Speaker 1: much every YouTuber, whether they admit it or not, I'd
- 13:23Speaker 1: rather do this full-time than whatever job I might work.
- 13:27Speaker 1: So if I notice that there is a lot of
- 13:29Speaker 1: unutilized free time, I've got two options with the content
- 13:33Speaker 1: that I produce. I can either produce more content instead
- 13:36Speaker 1: of producing content three times a week or now four
- 13:38Speaker 1: times a week. But instead of producing content every other day,
- 13:42Speaker 1: I can produce it every day. Or what I chose
- 13:45Speaker 1: to do instead is make the content that I produce
- 13:48Speaker 1: that is every other day a lot better. And that
- 13:52Speaker 1: tends to be my style. Like I'd much rather focus
- 13:54Speaker 1: on a higher quality product than producing lots of quantity. Now,
- 13:59Speaker 1: that's not to say that producing a high quantity of
- 14:01Speaker 1: videos per day is something that's bad. It's just something
- 14:04Speaker 1: that I don't prefer. Like, I much prefer the style
- 14:06Speaker 1: of Black Pigeon Speaks, who produces content every other day
- 14:09Speaker 1: or every couple of days, versus content like Tim Pool
- 14:12Speaker 1: of The Courting, where they're producing multiple videos a day.
- 14:15Speaker 1: It just tends to be my style. But the important
- 14:18Speaker 1: thing here in reference to this topic, is that whether
- 14:21Speaker 1: I'm talking about a content creator that produces multiple videos
- 14:24Speaker 1: per day or a content creator like me who produces
- 14:27Speaker 1: every other day or every two days or so, both
- 14:31Speaker 1: of us are doing a shitload of work. Both of
- 14:33Speaker 1: us are trying to maximally utilize our time. And so
- 14:36Speaker 1: you're on one end where you're trying to create as
- 14:38Speaker 1: much content as possible, and that's utilizing every single second
- 14:41Speaker 1: I can a day, making three videos in a day,
- 14:44Speaker 1: or I can spend every single second making the three
- 14:46Speaker 1: or four videos I make per week the highest possible
- 14:49Speaker 1: quality I can make them. But the time spent is
- 14:53Speaker 1: the important part. And so if you find yourself in
- 14:56Speaker 1: a career like art, or and it by the way,
- 14:59Speaker 1: if you are a business owner, you are the same
- 15:01Speaker 1: type of temperament. Or if you're someone who starts a business,
- 15:04Speaker 1: you're the same type of temperament as someone who does
- 15:06Speaker 1: art that tends to be a liberal temperament. And so
- 15:09Speaker 1: you can very easily fall into the same trap with
- 15:12Speaker 1: your business that all the artists fall into where it's
- 15:14Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm my own boss and I'm my
- 15:16Speaker 1: own manager. I get to decide when I go to work.
- 15:18Speaker 1: And so I'm going to go work from three o'clock
- 15:21Speaker 1: to six o'clock and that'll be my entire work day.
- 15:24Speaker 1: So you can very, very well fall into that trap.
- 15:27Speaker 1: And so I have this trick that I use to
- 15:29Speaker 1: keep myself from falling into that trap. I like to
- 15:33Speaker 1: think of it as something that Jordan Peterson said, is
- 15:36Speaker 1: that no matter what, you're going to suffer. And so
- 15:40Speaker 1: an immature person allows that suffering to just happen to them.
- 15:44Speaker 1: Someone who is more mature, someone who's a fighter, will say, okay,
- 15:48Speaker 1: suffering is going to happen no matter what, but what
- 15:50Speaker 1: I can do is pick the type of suffering that
- 15:53Speaker 1: I'm going to get. So I can either suffer by
- 15:56Speaker 1: spending all day recording and editing YouTube videos, or all
- 16:00Speaker 1: day finding footage, or all day studying philosophy, or all
- 16:04Speaker 1: day watching the news cycle to see what topics that
- 16:06Speaker 1: should be talked about. I can spend all day doing that,
- 16:09Speaker 1: or I can spend all day at some shitty job
- 16:12Speaker 1: that I don't like. Both of them are going to
- 16:15Speaker 1: require a lot of work. One's a type of work
- 16:18Speaker 1: that I prefer a little bit more than the other.
- 16:21Speaker 1: And so if you aren't spending as much free time
- 16:23Speaker 1: as you possibly can working towards work that you would
- 16:25Speaker 1: actually like doing, then you are guaranteeing that you're going
- 16:28Speaker 1: to get work that you don't like doing. In both situations,
- 16:32Speaker 1: you're going to get poisoned. You might as well pick
- 16:34Speaker 1: what poison you get. You might find that one of
- 16:37Speaker 1: the poisons is a little bit less bad than the other.
- 16:40Speaker 1: But I will leave it at that for this video.

- 16:55Speaker 1: If you have not subscribed to my BitChute channel, or
- 16:57Speaker 1: if you have not checked out my BitChute channel, then
- 16:59Speaker 1: go ahead and take a look at that. The link
- 17:01Speaker 1: is in the description. Also, because there are a lot
- 17:05Speaker 1: of things that I cannot say on YouTube for fear
- 17:07Speaker 1: of being accused of hate speech, I have started producing...
- 17:12Speaker 1: exclusive content on BitChute. Part of that is to promote
- 17:15Speaker 1: BitChute and make it a bigger website, but also a
- 17:18Speaker 1: part of it is an outlet for all the topics
- 17:21Speaker 1: that I cannot cover on YouTube. So every week there
- 17:25Speaker 1: will be an exclusive BitChute video that will likely, and
- 17:29Speaker 1: certainly does this week, that will likely go over topics
- 17:31Speaker 1: that I would not be able to cover here. So
- 17:33Speaker 1: go ahead and check out those exclusive videos. They will
- 17:36Speaker 1: be marked by the thumbnail. So it'll say BitChute exclusive
- 17:39Speaker 1: or something like that in the thumbnail. so it's very,
- 17:41Speaker 1: very easy to find. Other than that, thanks for watching
- 17:44Speaker 1: the video, and I'll see you in the next one.
