But how does THAT make sense?
For an answer, let’s talk about a billionaire real estate investor named Sam Zell.

What's something you saw recently that made you think "that doesn't make sense!"?

@MattMcLeod6 3 года назад

Why is Ohio in the “midwest” - I just don’t understand

@mapc088 3 года назад

Why we "need" alternative furures, if we have so many alternatives realities in the present?

Why do most parents still trust schools will educate their kids in the digital age when the system was designed in Industrial Age?

NFT doesn't make sense to me at this moment. I don't understand it. I need to look into it more now.

I like your teachin. Your are such a good teacher .. This made me validate my idea..I can make money with youtube classes rather than my degree career..I should start writing about youtube teachers that are better than school teachers on my blog

@syahrulfachrudin2811 3 года назад

One thing that popped into my mind for thing that doesn't make sense is 'Conspiracy'. It doesn't make sense but some people believe it anyway.

You're such a good teacher. This one got injected in my head in one fell swoop !

@nicholaswidmer9101 3 года назад

This is wonderful advice. Thanks, David. The "moment" for me has always been the awe-inspiring power of a psychedelic experience. The fact that a mushroom can alter consciousness in the way that it does is as abstract and amazing as Sam's perception of a squishy coffee handle. This is something I plan on writing about in more depth.

Thank you, David. This video made sense. :D

Love your videos, man. Unsolicited feedback (with love): it’d be super cool to see a pattern interrupt of your polished/scripted content with some raw, less edited content. Maybe vlog style. Obviously, keep your personal life as personal as you wanna, but thought it’d be cool to see “day in the life” stuff. Golfing, creating these videos, writing out tweets, morning rituals, meetups with friends, random shit. Just shooting ideas. Take it or leave it. Either way - thank you for your work, dude

@DannyGregory 2 года назад

Alternatively, just spend your time on ideas and writing. Leave the cheap tricks and entertainment to people with less value to share. Time is finite.

@MattMcLeod6 2 года назад

@@DannyGregory value is subjective.

@BallBusiness 2 года назад

Not sure how that will make any of us better writers.

@Light-oz5pv 2 года назад

Thanks a lot, David. This is an invaluable piece of advice.

@tsekoholdenison2797 2 года назад

Thank you, sir.

@guapshonen Год назад

hi. thanks for this valuable info. I'd love to ask, can I structure my writing using copywriting techniques or should I go learn content writing? thanks again

Perfectionism is a mindset, not a condition. You can have it without knowing it and you can cure it without medicine.

@cloudrainmakar2408 2 года назад

the "cure" for perfectionism is to move from attempting the perfect (a fools errand, impossible) to aiming for excellence

great vid man!

May I suggest reducing the editing cuts and visual movements a bit so that more people can enjoy it?

Investing in things that don't make sense is how you lose all your money in crypto.

I don't understand how jerks or assholes can learn to become compassionate to others. I don't know I don't get it

Another good idea is to unpack your own biases...why was it so nonsensical to this guy for an Asian country to have luxury stores in the first place? What could he have learned by examining why he had that initial assumption in the first place? What did he miss out on learning by jumping on an airplane instead of looking inward?
