Why Women_s Self Help is Toxic · THINK BEFORE YOU SLEEP

0:00
Speaker 1: What do you mean you don't have a boyfriend?
0:01
Speaker 2: You're so pretty.
0:02
Speaker 3: What do you mean you have zero men in your phone?
0:05
Speaker 3: What do you mean you've gone eight months without... What
0:08
Speaker 3: do you mean?
0:08
Speaker 4: That makes no sense.
0:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, combined pretty with intelligent, strong, successful, slaying at life,
0:15
Speaker 3: you've got a very terrifying woman on your hands. A
0:18
Speaker 3: very not easy woman on your.
0:21
Speaker 4: Hands, right?
0:22
Speaker 5: Got it. So you're a bitch. See how easy that was?
0:25
Speaker 6: Because I feel like I wouldn't describe myself as slaying
0:28
Speaker 6: at life If I was filming videos in my car
0:31
Speaker 6: talking about how lonely I am because no one wants
0:33
Speaker 6: to put up with me.
0:35
Speaker 3: Men do not like me. Men are very, very terrified
0:37
Speaker 3: of me. And the men who do like me, the
0:40
Speaker 3: ones that are attracted to me, are unavailable and uggo, uggo, uggo,
0:45
Speaker 3: uggo weirdos. Because at the end of the day, I
0:48
Speaker 3: am merely just a fantasy because of the pretty and scary.
0:52
Speaker 4: So yes, babe, I'm alone.
0:55
Speaker 2: I'm very, very, very, very, very single.
0:57
Speaker 5: Holy shit, that was Cope.
0:59
Speaker 6: Now, she was mean and conceited in that video, but
1:02
Speaker 6: I actually kind of feel bad for her because she
1:03
Speaker 6: has a way of viewing the world that's either going
1:06
Speaker 6: to keep her single or involve her in numerous toxic
1:08
Speaker 6: relationships until she figures out her problem in her mid
1:11
Speaker 6: to late 30s, if she figures it out. And well, actually,
1:15
Speaker 6: I'm not that sad about it because I'm also a
1:17
Speaker 6: big fan of watching people get what they deserve. However,
1:20
Speaker 6: she is using a lot of pre-programmed phrasing like I'm
1:23
Speaker 6: so intimidating, so it's hard for me to say how
1:25
Speaker 6: much of this personality she's developed is her fault.
1:28
Speaker 5: Especially with stuff like this.
1:29
Speaker 7: If you look through the self-help section in the bookstore
1:32
Speaker 7: and you look at books targeted toward men versus targeted
1:35
Speaker 7: toward women, the message is very different. A lot of
1:37
Speaker 7: like the male self-help books are like a lot of
1:41
Speaker 7: stoic stuff. Like, you know, you need to learn how
1:43
Speaker 7: to become more focused or more disciplined, you know, a
1:45
Speaker 7: lot of self-sufficiency kind of stuff. Whereas the self-help targeted
1:49
Speaker 7: toward women, it's not, you know, you're nothing right now,
1:53
Speaker 7: but if you work really hard, maybe you can turn
1:55
Speaker 7: yourself into something with effort. It's more so, you know,
1:58
Speaker 7: you're already great as you are, but the problem is
2:00
Speaker 7: that you just keep beating yourself up and that the
2:02
Speaker 7: world just hasn't recognized how great you are because you
2:05
Speaker 7: keep holding yourself back mentally from accepting that you're great.
2:08
Speaker 6: Right, so what you're describing here is narcissism. These books
2:12
Speaker 6: are taking women who are in search of help and
2:13
Speaker 6: teaching them to be narcissists. It's like corporatized fantasy fulfillment
2:17
Speaker 6: for money in the self-help department because one person who
2:20
Speaker 6: is struggling doesn't want to hear that they're already great
2:23
Speaker 6: and actually they don't have to do any work to
2:25
Speaker 6: make their lives better. I find it kind of predatory
2:28
Speaker 6: and messed up that so many companies have figured out
2:30
Speaker 6: that you can make tons of money selling people stuff
2:33
Speaker 6: that they think is working but doesn't actually work. And
2:36
Speaker 6: speaking of that, this transitions well into this video's sponsor. Recently,
2:40
Speaker 6: a jury ordered Meta and YouTube to pay millions for
2:43
Speaker 6: their role in designing and promoting addictive platforms. They knew
2:46
Speaker 6: their apps could contribute to anxiety, depression, and body image issues,
2:50
Speaker 6: but did not share those risks while prioritizing profits. If
2:54
Speaker 6: you or your child spent years growing up on social
2:56
Speaker 6: media and experienced serious mental health struggles, you should hear this.
3:01
Speaker 6: Morgan & Morgan is stepping up to hold these platforms
3:03
Speaker 6: accountable for the harm they caused. You can use the
3:06
Speaker 6: link in my description or scan the QR code to
3:09
Speaker 6: take a short quiz to see if you qualify for
3:11
Speaker 6: a case. Alright, so a bunch of corporatized and fake
3:14
Speaker 6: self-help for women is why you have so many people
3:17
Speaker 6: who are like this.
3:18
Speaker 3: So, I would say about 83% of the people on
3:22
Speaker 3: this airplane.
3:30
Speaker 6: I have no idea who this is. Was I supposed
3:38
Speaker 6: to recognize her? You know, I've been in this content
3:41
Speaker 6: creator industry for a while now, and I have yet
3:43
Speaker 6: to meet someone who goes outside hoping people will know
3:46
Speaker 6: who they are. But when it comes to men's self-improvement,
3:49
Speaker 6: there are some bad eggs out there, but for the
3:51
Speaker 6: most part, you can trust that you're going to get
3:53
Speaker 6: something that will lead you into the right direction if
3:55
Speaker 6: you work hard, you self-reflect, and you discipline yourself to
3:58
Speaker 6: not fall into your bad habits. However, more often than not,
4:02
Speaker 6: and you'll probably see this if you watch a lot
4:03
Speaker 6: of my videos, but more often than not, I see
4:06
Speaker 6: girls on TikTok or books that just give women the
4:08
Speaker 6: worst advice possible It's really just this corporatized bullshit that's
4:12
Speaker 6: more about figuring out a message that gets you follows
4:15
Speaker 6: or will cause customers to give you money than it
4:17
Speaker 6: is about saying something that will actually help these people
4:20
Speaker 6: improve their lives.
4:21
Speaker 1: Every airport ever has it.
4:23
Speaker 8: These are books that will blow your brain up.
4:25
Speaker 1: It's just fantastic.
4:26
Speaker 7: Meditation, how to be a unicorn.
4:28
Speaker 1: The subtle art.
4:29
Speaker 5: Of not giving a fuck. Yeah, that's it right there.
4:33
Speaker 1: I promise you, if you read this book, you'll be
4:35
Speaker 1: worse off afterwards. More than 10 million copies sold.
4:38
Speaker 8: The formula is you put something together that's inoffensive, but
4:42
Speaker 8: it seems offensive.
4:43
Speaker 1: It's just like corporatized virality.
4:46
Speaker 6: I bet there are a lot of girls that came
4:48
Speaker 6: across this book and they're like, it like found me.
4:50
Speaker 1: Yeah. And they thought it was a sign.
4:52
Speaker 5: Wait, I've read that book. He's right though, it wasn't
4:55
Speaker 5: that useful.
4:56
Speaker 6: And yeah, it speaks to you, because the people who
4:58
Speaker 6: seek out self-help content tend to have like the same
5:00
Speaker 6: five different personality profiles, and marketers have memorized what those are.
5:05
Speaker 6: I'm not kidding when I say that these personality profiles
5:07
Speaker 6: are well-known, as well as how to fix these people's problems.
5:11
Speaker 6: This shit isn't a mystery, in fact, the solutions tend
5:13
Speaker 6: to be very simple. But what is also well-known is
5:16
Speaker 6: how to exploit these types of people, and how to
5:18
Speaker 6: print money off of them. There's literally a book on
5:21
Speaker 6: it called The 48 Laws of Power, And the basic
5:24
Speaker 6: strategy is that as a self-help specialist, you know that
5:27
Speaker 6: the real answer to like 90% of people's problems is
5:30
Speaker 6: to stop being so lazy and put some hard work
5:32
Speaker 6: in over an extended period of time. However, because so
5:35
Speaker 6: many people want to take the easy way out, you
5:37
Speaker 6: can actually exploit this by telling everyone that you have
5:40
Speaker 6: some sort of secret answer to all the universe's questions
5:43
Speaker 6: that will make everything easy for them, which is a
5:45
Speaker 6: great strategy because not only will these people give you
5:48
Speaker 6: a lot of money initially, But also, this kind of
5:51
Speaker 6: advice will make them more mentally ill and cause them
5:54
Speaker 6: to regularly need your services, which is why you see
5:57
Speaker 6: tons of bullshit like this on TikTok.
5:59
Speaker 9: You're gonna listen to what I'm about to say because
6:00
Speaker 9: this is gonna change your fucking life.
6:02
Speaker 10: Ever since I.
6:02
Speaker 9: Started to do this, shit started flying at my face.
6:05
Speaker 9: Ever since I can remember, I have always made it
6:08
Speaker 9: a point to tell everyone I am so lucky. I
6:11
Speaker 9: just always expect great things to happen to me.
6:14
Speaker 10: And so they do.
6:15
Speaker 9: And like, if it doesn't go the exact way that
6:16
Speaker 9: I want it to go, then something better comes up
6:19
Speaker 9: after it. I'm constantly saying great things are always happening
6:22
Speaker 9: to me unexpectedly. I say this like on a regular basis.
6:25
Speaker 9: I'm like, Oh my God, great things are always happening
6:26
Speaker 9: to me unexpectedly. And I believe it when.
6:28
Speaker 11: I say it.
6:29
Speaker 9: So I think that also plays a huge role. Try
6:31
Speaker 9: being delusional for a month and tell me if your
6:33
Speaker 9: life doesn't change.
6:35
Speaker 6: Right, I like how you can just go on the internet,
6:37
Speaker 6: say a bunch of shit with no verifiable proof that
6:39
Speaker 6: any of it happened, and tons of people who don't
6:41
Speaker 6: know the scientific definition of a law will glaze you
6:44
Speaker 6: like crazy. Well, if they aren't bots. And I mean,
6:47
Speaker 6: this isn't the most honest way of doing things, but
6:49
Speaker 6: I'm sure making shit up is a great way to
6:51
Speaker 6: sell a book about manifestation that no one would have
6:54
Speaker 6: bought otherwise. Though, at least she's not one of those
6:57
Speaker 6: people who is telling her followers that she can control
6:59
Speaker 6: the weather.
6:59
Speaker 12: Raindances, do they work? Well, I tried it myself. So
7:04
Speaker 12: a couple nights ago, it was sleeting so hard. So
7:08
Speaker 12: I got up, I started walking around, dancing, and I
7:12
Speaker 12: was saying, calm and soothe the storm, calm and soothe
7:15
Speaker 12: the storm. And I was just imagining the energy of
7:17
Speaker 12: the storm, just calming and slowing, calming and slowing. And
7:22
Speaker 12: I kid you not, within a minute, it slowed down
7:26
Speaker 12: and completely stopped. Could be a coincidence, but I don't
7:31
Speaker 12: think so.
7:32
Speaker 6: I mean, I wouldn't even say it's a coincidence, I
7:34
Speaker 6: just think you're lying. There are many obvious ways to
7:36
Speaker 6: try and prove your claims here, like filming yourself making
7:39
Speaker 6: the rain stop, multiple times. But of course, all we
7:42
Speaker 6: have is a personal anecdote of a person saying, yeah,
7:45
Speaker 6: this crazy thing that is obviously not true totally works.
7:49
Speaker 6: Though you might be asking, where did all this nonsense
7:52
Speaker 6: about manifestations and affirmations come from? Well, the history might
7:56
Speaker 6: be deeper than this, but certainly I think what popularized
7:59
Speaker 6: this type of content in the modern day is one
8:02
Speaker 6: of the greatest self-help scams to ever exist called The Secret.
8:06
Speaker 13: All right, it is called The Secret, a little movie
8:08
Speaker 13: that's sweeping the country one DVD at a time. People
8:12
Speaker 13: who see it say it'll change their lives for the
8:14
Speaker 13: better forever. And Amanda John visits a local place where
8:17
Speaker 13: people are learning exactly what The Secret is.
8:21
Speaker 6: Judging by the potato quality of that news report, I'm
8:23
Speaker 6: sure you guys can guess that this is old. The
8:25
Speaker 6: Secret is a book and a DVD that came out
8:28
Speaker 6: in the 2000s, and I cannot tell you the levels
8:31
Speaker 6: of how many people would not shut up about this
8:33
Speaker 6: crap during that time period, as well as stuff like
8:35
Speaker 6: this from the DVD.
8:37
Speaker 14: And in 1995, I started to create something called a
8:40
Speaker 14: vision board, where I take something that I would want
8:42
Speaker 14: to achieve or something that I want to attract, like
8:45
Speaker 14: a car or a watch or the soulmate of my dreams.
8:49
Speaker 14: And I'd put a picture of what I wanted up
8:50
Speaker 14: on this board called.
8:51
Speaker 1: The vision board.
8:52
Speaker 14: And every day I would sit in my office and
8:53
Speaker 14: I would look up at this board and I would
8:54
Speaker 14: start to visualize. I would really get into the state
8:57
Speaker 14: of having already acquired it.
8:59
Speaker 6: Okay, so instantly if you know anything about marketing, then
9:01
Speaker 6: you know that this DVD is designed to prey on
9:03
Speaker 6: women's psychology. I can imagine that creating collages and calling
9:07
Speaker 6: that a vision board really sold to women who are
9:09
Speaker 6: mentally ill and seeking actual help instead of predatory spiritual
9:13
Speaker 6: bullshit that includes such experts as a visionary or a
9:17
Speaker 6: philosopher or or a quantum physicist because that sounds like
9:20
Speaker 6: a smart person's job, and they're all here to talk
9:23
Speaker 6: about the law of attraction.
9:25
Speaker 1: Thoughts become things.
9:27
Speaker 14: What most people don't understand is a thought has a frequency.
9:30
Speaker 14: Every thought has a frequency. We can measure a thought.
9:33
Speaker 14: And so if you're thinking that thought over and over
9:35
Speaker 14: and over again, or if you're imagining in your mind, okay,
9:38
Speaker 14: having that brand new car, having the money that you need,
9:40
Speaker 14: building that company, finding your soulmate, If you imagine what
9:43
Speaker 14: that looks like, you're emitting that frequency on a consistent basis.
9:47
Speaker 1: See yourself living in abundance and you will attract it.
9:52
Speaker 1: It always works. It works every time with every person.
9:56
Speaker 6: If you pay attention here, you can see the fundamental
9:58
Speaker 6: trick that's going on. which is that people in this
10:01
Speaker 6: self-help DVD have taken something that is partially true and
10:05
Speaker 6: corrupted it to make money and then said a bunch
10:08
Speaker 6: of smart words to make it sound official.
10:10
Speaker 13: And you do that through neuroplasticity and building the pathway,
10:14
Speaker 13: giving yourself the examples.
10:16
Speaker 6: Neuroplasticity, that sounds scientific, right? Okay, she must read a
10:20
Speaker 6: lot of research, so I'll believe everything she says. Anyway,
10:23
Speaker 6: great lies always have some sort of truth to them,
10:26
Speaker 6: and what I mean by that is that this DVD
10:28
Speaker 6: of The Secret is selling the Law of Attraction, and
10:30
Speaker 6: though it's not actually a law, scientifically speaking, it is
10:34
Speaker 6: a true idea psychologically. It's just, I think, therefore I am,
10:37
Speaker 6: and that is a correct idea. Your thoughts do create
10:40
Speaker 6: your reality, but where the lie is in all this
10:43
Speaker 6: Law of Attraction manifestation bullshit... is the strong suggestion that
10:47
Speaker 6: you can just think you will be successful, do nothing,
10:50
Speaker 6: and that success will just come to you. That's called delusion,
10:53
Speaker 6: and one of the most manipulative moments in the DVD
10:56
Speaker 6: to make people believe in this is right here.
10:58
Speaker 1: Now, if you don't understand it, it doesn't mean you
11:00
Speaker 1: should reject it. You don't understand electricity, probably.
11:03
Speaker 11: First of all, no one even knows what electricity is,
11:06
Speaker 11: and yet you enjoy the benefits of it.
11:08
Speaker 1: Do you know how it works?
11:10
Speaker 6: Yes, I do know how electricity works. See what I
11:13
Speaker 6: mean when I say that this DVD was targeted at
11:15
Speaker 6: women who, thanks to feminists, we know don't have a
11:18
Speaker 6: strong interest in STEM fields.
11:19
Speaker 11: I don't know how it works, but I do know this,
11:22
Speaker 11: that you can cook a man's dinner with electricity, and
11:25
Speaker 11: you can also cook the man.
11:27
Speaker 6: Again, the target audience is obviously women. Try to saw
11:30
Speaker 6: that last line in the modern day. Though, along with
11:33
Speaker 6: manipulative moments like this, and keeping in mind that I
11:35
Speaker 6: do agree that your thoughts create your reality, that is
11:38
Speaker 6: very true. However, the problem with things like The Secret
11:41
Speaker 6: is that they specifically remove the nuances of how to
11:44
Speaker 6: get good opportunities so that their advice won't work and
11:47
Speaker 6: you'll keep buying their update courses on how you just
11:49
Speaker 6: aren't manifesting hard enough. So to bring this back to
11:52
Speaker 6: reality and back to things that work, the actual purpose
11:55
Speaker 6: of managing your thoughts or I think therefore I am
11:58
Speaker 6: is not to attract certain things to you. It is
12:01
Speaker 6: instead a note to stop getting in your own way
12:03
Speaker 6: because what actually stops you from achieving your goals is
12:06
Speaker 6: anxiety and thinking that you can't achieve a nice life
12:09
Speaker 6: with a stable family and community that enjoys you being around.
12:12
Speaker 6: In fact, one of my biggest issues with The Secret
12:16
Speaker 6: is that I preach a psychology that will give you
12:18
Speaker 6: more anxiety.
12:19
Speaker 1: The law of attraction is always working, whether you believe
12:22
Speaker 1: it or understand it or not. It's always working.
12:25
Speaker 2: Anytime your thoughts are flowing.
12:27
Speaker 15: The law of attraction is operational.
12:29
Speaker 4: Every time an individual has a thought, they're in the
12:31
Speaker 4: creation process. Something is going to manifest out of those thoughts.
12:35
Speaker 8: Law of attraction says, we'll give you whatever it is
12:37
Speaker 8: you say and focus on. So if you're complaining about
12:40
Speaker 8: how bad it is, what you're creating is more of
12:43
Speaker 8: how bad it is.
12:44
Speaker 6: I know enough about mental health to know that this
12:46
Speaker 6: line of thinking will either cause OCD or heavily worsen
12:49
Speaker 6: the mental state of people who have OCD and anxiety issues.
12:52
Speaker 6: Nothing's going to trigger them more than telling them that
12:55
Speaker 6: every small negative thought they have is putting them on
12:57
Speaker 6: a bad timeline or whatever. In fact, this line of
13:00
Speaker 6: argumentation makes me think that a part of their target
13:03
Speaker 6: audience that they are preying on is women with anxiety
13:06
Speaker 6: issues and, by the way, for what benefit? The vast
13:09
Speaker 6: majority of the markers of success in The Secret are
13:11
Speaker 6: material bullshit that will never make you happy.
13:14
Speaker 15: So the law of attraction, the study and practice of
13:17
Speaker 15: the law of attraction is figuring out what will help
13:20
Speaker 15: you generate the feelings of having it now Go test
13:23
Speaker 15: drive that car.
13:24
Speaker 1: Go shop for that home. Get in the house.
13:26
Speaker 15: Do whatever you have to do to generate the feelings
13:29
Speaker 15: of having it now and remember them. Whatever you can
13:32
Speaker 15: do to do that will help you to literally attract it.
13:35
Speaker 5: Who cares?
13:35
Speaker 6: 95% of this DVD is about material possessions, particularly expensive ones,
13:41
Speaker 6: and none of these things are actually fulfilling. This money-focused
13:44
Speaker 6: ideology is poison. Success in life is building a family
13:47
Speaker 6: and a good community. Success in business is figuring out
13:50
Speaker 6: how to make money providing good products that your customers appreciate.
13:54
Speaker 6: Success is not a Ferrari in a $ 5 million mansion.
13:57
Speaker 6: If you constantly measure your success by what material possessions
14:00
Speaker 6: you have, then you will always be unhappy. Someone will
14:03
Speaker 6: always have a more expensive car or a better designer handbag.
14:06
Speaker 6: I think these scammers know that, and they are getting
14:09
Speaker 6: you to focus on material wealth because it will make
14:11
Speaker 6: you more of a sucker who needs their product. If
14:13
Speaker 6: you keep engaging in these unfulfilling measures of success, you're
14:17
Speaker 6: just going to end up old and miserable. And the
14:19
Speaker 6: great trick of the secret here is that they give
14:21
Speaker 6: you these ridiculous financial goals that they know statistically 99%
14:25
Speaker 6: of their audience will never achieve. So even if someone
14:28
Speaker 6: does win with the secret, they will still have a
14:30
Speaker 6: vast pool of miserable losers to prey on. Real success
14:33
Speaker 6: is building community, and it doesn't take millions of dollars
14:36
Speaker 6: or expensive cars to do that. And really the poison
14:39
Speaker 6: here is that if you're going to make someone unnecessarily greedy...
14:42
Speaker 6: then you could at least give them some useful strategies
14:45
Speaker 6: for building themselves up. But instead, it's just nonsense.
14:48
Speaker 8: Our job is not to figure out the how. The
14:51
Speaker 8: how will show up out of the commitment and the
14:54
Speaker 8: belief in the what.
14:55
Speaker 1: The hows are the domain of the universe.
14:59
Speaker 8: It always knows the shortest, quickest, fastest, most harmonious way
15:03
Speaker 8: between you and your dream.
15:05
Speaker 10: If you turn it over to the universe, you will
15:07
Speaker 10: be surprised and dazzled by what is delivered to you.
15:11
Speaker 10: This is where magic and miracles happen.
15:13
Speaker 1: Right.
15:14
Speaker 6: Basically, just sit right there and success will come to you.
15:17
Speaker 6: That's not how shit works, but again, as I said,
15:20
Speaker 6: this ideology is sort of true. Luck often breeds success,
15:23
Speaker 6: but what's omitted here is that everyone gets lucky opportunities,
15:27
Speaker 6: and the ones who are able to capitalize on them
15:29
Speaker 6: are the people who are paying attention, and only the
15:32
Speaker 6: people who have built themselves up to be valuable enough
15:34
Speaker 6: to deserve the opportunity are the ones who will get it.
15:37
Speaker 6: No one's ever going to give you the chance if
15:39
Speaker 6: you haven't done the years of required prep work first.
15:42
Speaker 6: This is why I say that the secret is full
15:43
Speaker 6: of shit when it doesn't tell you this. Also remember
15:46
Speaker 6: that the secret is the core behind all the bullshit
15:48
Speaker 6: that you see on TikTok today. And not only are
15:51
Speaker 6: they telling you that you can be successful by doing
15:53
Speaker 6: nothing but saying affirmations in the mirror, not only are
15:56
Speaker 6: they really enabling people's OCD, but also, they're teaching you
16:00
Speaker 6: to be a narcissist that no one will want to
16:02
Speaker 6: be around.
16:03
Speaker 10: Or you have the belief that everything goes right for me.
16:06
Speaker 10: Or you have the belief that I'm not getting older,
16:08
Speaker 10: I'm getting younger. We can create it the way we
16:12
Speaker 10: want it by using the law of attraction.
16:15
Speaker 1: Are there any limits to this? Absolutely not.
16:18
Speaker 4: We are unlimited beings. We have no ceiling. The capabilities
16:23
Speaker 4: and the talents and the gifts and the power that
16:25
Speaker 4: is within every single individual on this planet is unlimited.
16:30
Speaker 6: The secret adds this important twist. Your thoughts can bring
16:33
Speaker 6: anything into your life because you are a god. This
16:36
Speaker 6: is from a review of The Secret. Can you see
16:39
Speaker 6: why narcissists like the wizard Liz always pick up this
16:41
Speaker 6: manifestation ideology? It seems to be meant to cater to
16:45
Speaker 6: people with narcissistic personality disorder, BPD, and OCD, and if
16:50
Speaker 6: you think these hyper-successful marketing ploys don't know their target audiences,
16:54
Speaker 6: then I would suggest that you look at all the
16:56
Speaker 6: seminars on YouTube about how to make a mobile game
16:58
Speaker 6: successful by preying on each customer's personality archetype. And really,
17:02
Speaker 6: one of the primary promoters of The Secret and this
17:05
Speaker 6: whole manifestation law of attraction bullshit was Oprah. Is Oprah
17:09
Speaker 6: still famous? Whether she is or not, I cannot understate
17:12
Speaker 6: how popular she was as a woman's talk show host
17:14
Speaker 6: back in the 2000s when The Secret came out. Honestly,
17:17
Speaker 6: I see Oprah and these kinds of talk shows as
17:20
Speaker 6: like the metaphor of the devil from Paradise Lost. And
17:23
Speaker 6: what I mean by that is that these people pretend
17:25
Speaker 6: to help while they actually harm you or stab you
17:27
Speaker 6: in the back. This is what I see as genuinely
17:30
Speaker 6: evil because it's very effective. The metaphor from Paradise Lost
17:34
Speaker 6: is that the devil realizes that he can't defeat God
17:36
Speaker 6: in combat, so he decides to corrupt his creation by
17:39
Speaker 6: turning into a snake and pretending to be Eve's friend
17:42
Speaker 6: so he can trick her into eating the apple. Wait,
17:45
Speaker 6: why does he trick the woman? Was that part important?
17:47
Speaker 1: But Oprah sold it.
17:48
Speaker 10: There's a lot of factors in getting better and succeeding
17:51
Speaker 10: at things, and they boiled it down to the easiest one,
17:55
Speaker 10: which is dreaming.
17:57
Speaker 6: Right, she's a scammer who's tricking her audience into believing
17:59
Speaker 6: that she's helping them, when what she's actually doing is
18:02
Speaker 6: making them more mentally ill and dependent on her advice.
18:05
Speaker 6: And her fans ate this shit up.
18:07
Speaker 3: Oprah, you're my vision board for 2018.
18:11
Speaker 5: And I am here, so I have manifested this moment. Congratulations!
18:18
Speaker 10: I am here!
18:19
Speaker 2: That's great!
18:20
Speaker 1: So I am here.
18:21
Speaker 2: It is an honor.
18:22
Speaker 6: Clearly an effective use of a vision board. Collaging at
18:25
Speaker 6: its finest.
18:26
Speaker 5: Oh, jeez. That movie did not do well at all.
18:29
Speaker 5: No wonder I've never heard of it.
18:30
Speaker 9: I want to run a marathon.
18:32
Speaker 6: You do?
18:32
Speaker 12: I want to before I.
18:33
Speaker 2: I support you in that. But I don't vision board
18:36
Speaker 2: anymore because I am a powerful manifester. And I know that,
18:41
Speaker 2: and I know, I know how to do it without
18:43
Speaker 2: physically putting it on a board. You want to know
18:45
Speaker 2: how to do it? Absolutely. You have to meet the vibration.
18:48
Speaker 2: You can't be above or below it. It's just what
18:51
Speaker 2: I was talking about. Negative energy, positive energy in order
18:54
Speaker 2: to draw the thing to you that you want to come.
18:56
Speaker 2: You can't want it so much that you fear that
18:58
Speaker 2: you won't get it. You have to want it. So
19:01
Speaker 2: in order for me to be on your vision boards,
19:03
Speaker 2: You must have put it there and then you let
19:05
Speaker 2: it go. Yes. And then you weren't thinking about it
19:07
Speaker 2: every day, every day, every day. Because you can't, it
19:08
Speaker 2: doesn't come to you that way.
19:10
Speaker 5: Got it.
19:10
Speaker 6: She's a high-level mage now, so she doesn't need material
19:13
Speaker 6: components like a vision board anymore. I gotta say, though,
19:16
Speaker 6: that was some pretty effective bullshit language. But if you
19:19
Speaker 6: want to know the strongest scientific peer-reviewed evidence that manifestation
19:23
Speaker 6: and the law of attraction don't work, then listen to this.
19:26
Speaker 6: Oprah for many years has been trying to lose weight,
19:29
Speaker 6: yet after all this time, she's still fat.
19:32
Speaker 5: No one noticed that?
19:33
Speaker 6: Her wanting to lose weight has to be like the
19:35
Speaker 6: number one thing that she's known for. Maybe she's been
19:38
Speaker 6: manifesting too many cheeseburgers. Maybe she still does need that
19:41
Speaker 6: vision board. Now, personally, when it comes to ways of
19:44
Speaker 6: thinking that actually work and actually lead to success, I
19:47
Speaker 6: think this one is particularly helpful, especially when it comes
19:50
Speaker 6: to achieving very difficult long-term goals. And no, that doesn't
19:53
Speaker 6: have to be a $ 5 million home. I think goals
19:56
Speaker 6: like that are largely retarded. A goal shouldn't be owning
19:59
Speaker 6: an expensive home. An expensive home should just be the
20:01
Speaker 6: result of providing lots of value to society instead of
20:04
Speaker 6: it being the product of you being really good at
20:06
Speaker 6: scamming people like it is for most of these losers.
20:09
Speaker 6: I mean, you really think that this shit wasn't a scam?
20:12
Speaker 15: Remove physiological stress from the body, and the body does
20:15
Speaker 15: what it was designed to do.
20:17
Speaker 1: It heals itself.
20:19
Speaker 4: I've seen kidneys regenerated. I've seen cancer dissolved. I've seen
20:26
Speaker 4: eyesight improve and come back.
20:29
Speaker 1: I always say that incurable means curable from within.
20:32
Speaker 4: You can change your life, and you can heal yourself.
20:36
Speaker 6: Notice how they have the visionary say the dumb stuff
20:38
Speaker 6: and not the doctor. He's like, I'm not risking my
20:40
Speaker 6: license on this bullshit. Did they not get sued for
20:43
Speaker 6: telling people that you could cure cancer by making a
20:46
Speaker 6: vision board and saying affirmations in the mirror? How many
20:49
Speaker 6: people stopped treatment because of these assholes? Anyway, as for
20:52
Speaker 6: achieving long-term goals, even when it comes to building a
20:55
Speaker 6: good community, building a financially stable lifestyle, and creating a
20:59
Speaker 6: family that likes and appreciates you, that stuff is really difficult.
21:03
Speaker 6: And a little spoiler, tons of these rich and successful
21:06
Speaker 6: people that you take advice from have not figured that
21:09
Speaker 6: stuff out. In fact, lots of them have incredibly toxic
21:12
Speaker 6: relationships and are hated by the people who know them personally.
21:15
Speaker 6: So when it comes to achieving really difficult goals, I
21:18
Speaker 6: find the most helpful mentality that keeps you on track
21:20
Speaker 6: and prevents you from quitting is to see your goal
21:23
Speaker 6: as a foregone conclusion. You're going to achieve it no
21:26
Speaker 6: matter what. This is not delusion, this is saying, I'm
21:29
Speaker 6: going to put in the necessary work to get what
21:31
Speaker 6: I want, and I'll achieve it when I achieve it.
21:34
Speaker 6: And the reason for this mentality is because people often
21:37
Speaker 6: hoist unrealistic and overly optimistic expectations upon themselves because they
21:42
Speaker 6: don't know that much about what they're trying to get,
21:44
Speaker 6: and so they'll say, I'm going to achieve this in
21:47
Speaker 6: three months, and then when three months goes by and
21:49
Speaker 6: they don't succeed, their optimism goes away and so they quit.
21:53
Speaker 6: Sometimes stuff like becoming fluent in a language actually takes
21:56
Speaker 6: more like three years or more, and what will actually
21:59
Speaker 6: make you successful on these occasions is saying, okay, three
22:03
Speaker 6: months has passed and I'm still not there, but I'm
22:05
Speaker 6: going to keep going because this is my goal, and
22:07
Speaker 6: I'm going to succeed even if I fail initially. I
22:10
Speaker 6: think you'll find that when people achieve ridiculous things, that
22:13
Speaker 6: is their mindset. Anyway, thanks for watching, follow me on Twitter,
22:17
Speaker 6: and I'll see you in the next video.
