1:26:35 The Most Annoying Thing About Cynics - the problem with this is we can't run the counterfactual. It's the same argument climate change activists make: the only reason their cataclysmic predictions didn't come true is that we took the necessary but not sufficient actions to prevent them temporarily. Because we only have 1 universe, we can't know if the uproar of the public prevented martial law or whether it would never have happened. The same way we can't know how many wars or outbreaks have been prevented by the systems we have in place. Another: is the reason we haven't had WW3 BECAUSE of the UN/MAD? or would the world have been fine and no WW3 without them? Just because something didn't happen, doesn't mean "it couldn't have" (in quotes for the determinists). A coin can land heads or tails, but I don't call you an idiot if you say "heads" and it lands tails because "it could have" landed heads. So long as it's a rational/logical possibility, it's fine but should still come with reputational repercussions. What needs potentially criminally punished are the absolutely provably impossible assertions (e.g. cult leaders saying the end of the world is upon us and their followers need to drink the koolaid).
This is why you don't watch them but only listen to them while you do unscippable tasks like, 4am workouts, developing cancer treatments and ending world hunger, Duh...😂
sometimes I just watch these videos to get a breath of fresh ideas instead of the same reguirgitated subjects that we have all heard time and time again. 1. BTW 56:22 about money I personally think that "Money just doesn't bring happyness it just lowers unhappyness which are separate areas of the brain" 2.I totally support the idea of sausage fests because I personally think that the opposite of love is fear and living in a constant state of anxiety is never good. Being with friends who I share a good amount of comradery with just warms my heart and makes me feel soo energized, it's as if my age gets reduced back to 16. Great content as always guys :D
I feel podcast hosts should hold yearly raffles for a random lucky fan to be a guest on the show. So, Chris, as your number one fan, can I be a guest on your podcast? (Seriously bro, consider it!)
I actually like the idea of hearing from one of the unreasonably reasonable audience members, and I have faith that Chris could make it an interesting discussion for all.
Hi Chris long time fan. I don't think you totally thought through your egg/sperm freeze idea. If you add "I still have 25 years to choose" to the already messy and chaotic dating market, you are adding more power to choice paralysis not less. It will be all too easy to have a great relationship and still not commit to it thinking "there is still time" and "I have a plan B" and want to make sure this is the one. The truth is after certain point no one can be absolutely sure, you have to do your due diligence of course but in the end is all an act of faith and a leap into the abyss hoping the person that told you will catch you, will actually catch you. And is not even a good plan even if your gametes are fresh, your body is not, don't let the muscle and diet trick you into thinking it is, hormones, ligaments and God only knows what else would still be older than ideal. As someone that had my kids late in life, I know elderly pregnancy (literal medical definition of my second pregnancy at 36, at least it wasn't Geriatric pregnancy which is what a friend that got pregnant on her 40's got on her chart, very flattering) still have more complication risks from the pregnancy itself not only for the mother but also for the baby more risk of miscarriage and the like. So, unless you plan to Dicaprio yourself and only in enter relationships with women 25 years old and younger, which would defeat the purpose of this plan, is not really all that good individually or for the dating market. This is my sincere advice as someone old enough to be your teen pregnancy mom. Take care.
Five minutes in, and Mack is ALREADY dishing pearls.....one of life's biggest struggles is to listen to a Mack episode without a notepad in hand.....do i push on without one for now, or do I save the episode for later when I'll have one????
@@acacia_wI'm on the third listen without the notepad....still FEELS brimming with value.... I'm not moving on (i refuse!) until I jot down, memorialize, and annotate this thing onto paper 🙉🤣🤦♂️
@55:00 in talking about milestones, IVF, freezing sperm... We had those milestones! We got married, had kids, and built our careers around our families. Your view prioritizes the self over the family... There will be a cost for delaying one over the other.
Hey Chris. Regarding your comment saying people should need to apologise or retract comments when they’re wrong. I 100% agree! However, the example you used for covid actually did happen here in Australia, minus the tanks. We do have digital IDs, we did have a ‘covid passport’ that was required to travel interstate and even to enter bars or cafes. We were practically locked in our houses for long periods of time, with police check points at Local Government Area (post code) lines, stopping, fining and arresting people. We had police beating people for not wearing masks. These restrictions lasted years in some capacity, with melbourne residents being in a hard lockdown for 262 days. So yeah, in some parts of the world that didn’t push back against the covid lockdown insanity as much as in the USA and UK, the governmental authoritarian nonsense actually did get pretty out of hand!
Very good comment. I didn’t like when he said that either. It goes both ways. Where’s the apologies for everything they got wrong about the pandemic? I agree with the point he is making but not the reasons he gives for the point.
The citizens need to put the governments in their proper place. We are not here to serve the fear based agenda and insider scams of the elite but rather to pursue happiness and a fulfilling life for us and our family.
I agree, when he said that he demanded an apology, I was just thinking that, “If you don’t think those things could happen, then you must not have been paying attention”. Maybe some of it was exaggerated, but it’s not like we’re out of the woods, technology is only getting better, AI is only going to improve from here on out, and all that’s needed is another major incident to justify restricting and infringing on more rights.
Your detailed account of the COVID-19 restrictions in Australia highlights the varying degrees of government response worldwide. The measures you described, such as digital IDs and extensive lockdowns, underscore how different regions experienced the pandemic uniquely. Your perspective provides valuable context to the broader discussion about governmental actions and their impacts on personal freedoms. This kind of firsthand account is crucial for understanding the diverse experiences and challenges faced globally during the pandemic, emphasizing the importance of critical examination and dialogue about these policies.
I came to the comments JUST to comment on this part, as well. He really missed the mark. I mean, he even moved from the UK to the US--Texas no less-- during Covid. Some of us do owe others an apology, but not the authoritarian alarmists...
Eh I think anyone arguing about whether money buys happiness has never once actually dealt with a lack of it It won’t solve all your personal/psychological problems but it’s one of the most important aspects to a manageable life I’ve been trapped in a shitty job once where every day I wanted to quit, it’s not even subjective It is how you spend it as George says (as is also backed up by a few studies, targeted spending makes for good experiences) but I think anyone who’s experienced poverty immediately knows how to spend it in a way that can bring them joy Young people can’t afford homes or children anymore Have to be careful not to be out of touch there guys
money = survival but only to a point - after you've crossed that line, making more money is pointless and won't bring you more happiness. the focus should then change. but it isa mega long road and it baffles me that successful people forget the fact that 99% of their audience is not there yet. they keep preaching "spending more time with family" - like it's something you get for free and it is just waiting there for you in a house you can't afford with children your crap job can't pay for.
As an Greek living in uk i find amazing how both of you dislike these British characteristics that maybe making you less entrepreneurial but make you much more respectful and not judgemental to others..
George talking about "never ask your barber if you need a haircut" is the absolute perfect explanation for why you should not trust podcasters with the products they are advertisi g. Anyway, awesome episode
The conversation about "does money buy happiness?" completely missed the mark. After a certain point, perhaps it doesn't, but until you get to where your needs are covered and you can afford some of your wants, then yes access to more money could make you happier. If have to worry about being able to pay for a roof over your head or have food on the table, absolutely more money would buy happiness because the constant worry and stress would lessen exponentially. It felt like they could not truly relate to the struggle of the majority of individuals because they don't have to worry about having enough. Their privilege is showing.
You raise a critical point about the relationship between money and happiness. While philosophical discussions often explore the limits of wealth's impact on well-being, it's essential to acknowledge that financial security significantly reduces stress and worry for many. Access to basic needs and some comforts can indeed improve happiness, highlighting a gap in understanding when privilege blinds individuals to the struggles of those living with financial instability. This perspective is crucial for a more nuanced and empathetic discussion about the role of money in achieving a fulfilling life.
This is the problem with podcasts like these (both the interviewer and the guests) - a lot of the times, it feels like they are saying something insightful when in fact it is just a lot of fluff and noise without being challenged by the podcaster on the dumb things the guests say - which is typically extremely shallow. To a listener/viewer who has not touched these topics, it might feel like they are getting a lot of information, but without a proper back-and-forth dynamic, many topics (such as this one) leave a ton to be desired.
@@openwater4897 The OP likely meant "their privilege of having money now is showing" - as in, they cannot relate to the struggles of so many other people who barely make ends meet.
I love how I'm about 2 hours deep into one of the most intellectual podcasts I've listened to in ages and Chris comes out with 'talk to me about sausage fests'.
That comment at the end is on point - I had moved on from most of my old friends because they were losers. Then I inherited my girlfriend's friend group for a few years, eventually we broke up and I found myself with nearly zero friends.
I abhor busybodies. I abhor people that can't sit down and sit still. I live in an RV full time and have met people, in their mid 60s to mid 70s that can't relax and can't sit down and sit still and be at ease. My single favorite activity is just looking out my RV window. I'm 61 years old and live a high agency, self-directed life. I don't give one GD f'k what anyone else thinks about me. Zerof f'ks given if you like me or not. I have multiple income streams and I'm mobile. Ultimate freedom. Not easy. But I'm never bored and if I hate my neighbors I can leave / move to another place.
Social media and phones have almost completely destroyed real human interaction. As a middle aged guy, I can't even go to the gym without being surrounded by people who can't get off their phones even between sets. If you try and make eye contact and smile, or god forbid say "hello", you're either ignored or get a reaction of shock at someone attempting to make polite conversation or acknowledge your existence. In many ways it's a strange and very sad world.
Agree, another middle aged here. Lucky enough to grow up in a world without technology, you know the days where when doing your degree the old fashioned way, writing essays by hand, no spell check, AI, fancy fonts, researched was a drive to the library, spending hours pouring over journals and books. When you said you were going to be somewhere, you were there, no phone to say you were running late or you changed your mind. The days when you spent time with people, learning to read them through their body language, their eyes told a story and facial expression. You had to be brave, you had to go meet a person, face to face, own your stuff and look that person in the eye and express a concern, none of this texting a boy/girl friend and dumping them. You went in your car, used your legs to walk into the bank, used your precious time to Line up in the line in the bank to cash a cheque, drive to where ever it is and hand over the money that you needed to give a person, you didn’t reach over grab your phone and tap a few keys and presto, you just transferred money into another person account. We did stuff the hard, long way lol. We knew how to look someone in the eye, and convey what our message was, it was understood because a person could read our body language, see our smile, feel our hug or touch and hear the tone in which we expressed ourselves, things were not taken out of context. I catch myself reaching for my phone all the time, everything is at your finger tips, you think your busy now lol, back in my day you had to walk or drive to get your food and then cook it, yes COOK, with those pots and pans and then wash by hand those dirty dishes! BY HAND! None of this Uber eats business. I see people on social media communicate with one another and the way people talk to each other is a disrespectful and outright cruel, wow you do that in real life, back in the day when you didn’t have a computer or phone screen to hide behind and you wouldn’t last 5 minutes! lol oh those were the days. Wow remember when the “pager” arrived lol! That was revolutionary hahaha it’s sad that people really have no idea how to communicate anymore, it’s sad people are so bombarded with “noise” I really need my no phone, no social media, no tv and no people time, in order to catch my breath, it’s all too much. Thank god I know how to self soothe and no the importance of switching off to all the crap
Your observation on social media and phones impacting real human interaction is quite poignant. The shift towards constant connectivity online has undeniably changed how we engage with those around us in physical spaces. It's disheartening when genuine human interactions, like making eye contact or greeting someone, are met with surprise or disinterest. This trend underscores a broader societal shift where virtual connections often overshadow face-to-face interactions. While technology has its benefits, your experience highlights the need to balance it with meaningful, real-world engagement to preserve our human connections and social skills.
@@xKarenWalkerxI think you maybe you missed the point of the comment. The gym is just one environment where social contact was easier in the past before phones, there are many other public places where social contact has been worsened by the phone. If you understand this is happening society wide there is a major effect on social contact being made. Real friendships which would have happened previously are now not.
2:00:44 here’s the thing about incentives. The way the brain works. You can give self an unrelated reason to do something to trick it. But also can create a journal to figure out what behaviors create what states and turn the nicer ones into cheese and the worse behaviors (thinking about the long term effects Tony robbins style) into the cats.
Brits with self-belief? You haven't met the lower class individuals of this country have you? We're struggling to have self-belief too! Must be nice to come into this country and only meet middle and upper class people. I feel like your opinion maybe bias. But I still love your shit! Carry on in the land of Maga, Merica and Mullets.
The reason that we dont output as many entrepreneur is Europe is because we have social stability in the middle class. Medical, education, pension and social security is covered. There is great public transport. For the majority of the places, we dont need to live in expensive gated communities, etc. Therefore people like to enjoy their freedom of being a 9 to 5 or a flexible time domain expert, without the shitstorm of the business ownership. This is changing though 😢 The middle class in Europe gets poorer and poorer these days.
But didnt europe output most foundational of modern banking, literature, music, art, agriculture systems, etc..over hundreds of centuries?? There is entrepreneurialism in that feeding into the world over those centuries. Is your reason for low outputs of entrepreneurs from europe due to stability or is it actually complacency? Thriving societies are unstable in upward movement. It's s sign that society is alive. Stability is not always good
@sarahb5296 , this is complicated topic. I see the reasoning in your view as well. What I tried to explain is that in an average to high economic stability most people everywhere will chose family, hobbies, art, leisure. Then you will always have the small percentage of restless business oriented people. In Europe, America, Asia, everywhere. But in US in particular, I feel like there is extra push for people to start a business, like you are above average or trying harder or more status if ur a business owner. And then there is the need for more money in US to cover for cars, gated community property, medical and educational expenses, retirement funding, etc. As for banking, literature and art, most famous of these are either comissioned (like da Vinci, Caravaggio or restless poor bohemians like van Gogh, Dostoyevski, etc.)
Rather than doing the egg freezing thing at 21, just buy a countdown clock called the biological clock and live within the natural rythms of our bodies. Look into egg freezing and consider the pain, stress, expense, etc. and consider what we could achieve if we invested that money somewhere else. The thing that a country that is great for entrepreneurs is not great for quality of life. Teach people to be happy with their lot and work to make their own community better. Teach young people to prioritise families and especially teach young women to focus on having children at a reasonably young age. There are a few podcasters who have amazing jobs, but the vast majority of people will find more joy in their family than any job can bring them.

Eventually you'll get to 1.5 and 1.75, depending on how fast people talk. ;) The worst vids need 2x, but the slower talkers usually have less useful info.
@@RollingcrewTV Yes, the race is learning as much as possible, as quickly as possible, so your trip to the grave is as awesome as possible. Ignorance, and slow talkers, are painful. ;)
To answer the question 'Can money make you happy?', just reverse it. 'Can lack of money make you miserable?' I would say the answer is more than obviously yes, and then some.
There’s some good stuff in here, but I’ve never heard someone regurgitate more thoughts and ideas from others without giving them credit than this guy. Again, good stuff and don’t know enough about him really crocheted, but I’ve heard more brilliant people referenced in this episode without a single dose of credit, pretty much any other I’ve never heard
It feels like an impossible task to reconcile the ethos of messages like this - basically, 'avoid obsessing over output to the point it becomes counterproductive' - with Goggins' sentiment that there are few things more painful than comparing ourselves to who we could have been.
It isn’t actually that difficult when you really understand what Goggins is saying. His message has literally 0% to do with outputs and 100% to do with inputs. And Mack is saying the same thing, but focusing more on being conscientious about the inputs you select BEFORE you put your head down and get to work, whereas Goggins may have started to talk about this but he didn’t learn it until after he had already been working for years and so it came much much later in his narrative than Mack.
I like George and I love Chris, but adults definitely exist. These guys need children 😂 Being a decent adult even on a basic level requires putting *a lot* together everyday that seems effortless but took many years of molding by society.
26:40 Of course being top in the university system doesn't translate into top in enterprise. Schools create workers - & universities create the management class to oversee them. But - imagination, enterprise - nowhere to be seen. By design. Structurally.
Im really glad that im not a huge over-achiever. I love a simple life. Once in awhile, I feel too busy. But it's only ever a few days. And then Im back to simple living
Great energy in this interview, the segment on the weirdness in people is what people remember is so powerful. Looking back it seems more true than most opinions, it's quite a mindf*ck to think what you might seem as your downfall is the very aspect of your personality that people will remember 😮
Absolute banger of a podcast. I was listening to this in my car at work (halfway while eating lunch) and then you guys started talking about the SKILL of making friends. And the slight nuance to use social media as another vehicle to find that group that I really want to find. Stopped me in my tracks and was damn near late going back to work lol. Appreciate you guys touching on this subject so much. Been trying to find my group of friends like you described at 39 years old for a really long time since moving to Los Angeles. I’ve been out for almost 15 years. You guys are legends.
It’s wonderful to hear how the podcast resonated with you, especially on the topic of making friends and using social media positively. Finding a community, particularly later in life or after a significant move, can be challenging. The insights shared in the episode highlight practical strategies to build meaningful connections, leveraging both in-person and online interactions. Your experience of nearly being late because of the engaging content underscores its impact. It’s heartening to know that these discussions are helping people navigate their social lives more effectively and find their tribe.
1:51:40 No Chris, the only difference is we aren't being paid to use what we like, which is why you will always have that friction no matter how sincere you're being.
@ChrisWillx I will not apologize for "filling your headspace with fear tactics." Everything every one of those people have said has come true. @AndyFrisella has the receipts to prove it. Talking abiut holding someone at gunpoint and forcing them to apologize is by far the most unhinged thing I have ever heard someone that calls themself an intellectual say. You should be deeply ashamed for playing into the divisiveness.
I think its a great idea about freezing eggs, but it is WAY more expensive to freeze eggs and the process is harder on the woman's body. Women have to be pumped full of homones to make us release an unusual number of eggs since we usually only release one or two eggs each month with ovulation. Plus, as a woman imagine the hormonal swings and water weight retention with our normal menstration, all of these symptoms are a lot more intense during this process. That being said, its totally doable, but a 21 year old will need to be educated about what she's taking on. Of course motherhood always comes at a cost for us women. So, there's that. Last concern is the cost. The cost of medication and egg extraction starts at 10k for women and that does not include storage fees. Good luck getting a government agency to pay for all of this.
Idk if it’s just me but these are incredibly unrelatable ‘problems’. Who on Earth refreshes their slack channels like a social network hoping for more messages???
This certainly had its moments and the Salvador Dali story was cool. But the more you listen to these influencer guys, the more you get the impression they could sell you a used car you don't really want to buy. (and probably will at some point)
I think the part on why men have less friends over 40 is completely incorrect. In my life time men are much better at retaining friendships than women. The reason why a man most likely does not see his friends as much or drift apart is due to 1. His wife demanding all of his time. How often do men need a pass from the wife. When the wife goes out … no pass required, women are demanding. Simple.
It's not London's successful economy with poor cities attached, the UK has great social security and the US don't have it. America has a lot of rich people and a lot of poor people attached.

As an American it is really sad to hear that there is no national pride in the UK. I feel proud of the UK and I’ve never even been there. That’s the country that saved the world not once but twice. The same small country whose language is now spoken in more than half of the world. That’s impressive.
It's touching to hear your admiration for the UK and its historical contributions. National pride often stems from recognizing a country's significant achievements and cultural impact. The UK's role in global history, from its language's widespread influence to its pivotal moments in world events, is indeed impressive. Your perspective as an American appreciating these aspects highlights the shared respect and admiration that can transcend borders. This kind of cross-cultural appreciation fosters a deeper understanding and connection between nations, celebrating their unique contributions to the world.
45:00 London doesn't have the monopoly on everything. Research, industry and development occurs in the military, universities and 3rd party corporations. There are universities everywhere, access to military careers everywhere and it's individual cities that fail to attract and keep more 3rd party business. Why does a Tesla go to Texas? Tax and benefits. If you're complaining about the current state of things point your finger at the corruption of universities and how crap most post graduate research is.
nice and neat talk, very interesting and good conversation... much much western tech elite edge nerdy stuff... ya'll forget about a whole generation or three of workers who just do very physical and repetitive work every day out in "the real world" as in they are not workign with computers or in the digital space whatsoever.. one might say, it's even a refuge these days

What is the base motivation for being weird and memorable? Legacy? Legacy is ego-rewarding, but it seems like most historically famous people were relatively obscure or suffered while they were living and didn't know that they would be remembered after their death. Pursuing legacy seems just as much of a waste of life as pursuing materialism. I try to focus on what will give me personal satisfaction, especially when self-reflecting at life's end, but it's very hard to drill down past all the noise. Thanks for the convo and the interesting thoughts.
AT 1:28:00, Mack notes the "forgetting paradox." Something even more poignant and important: We can never know what we don't know. We never have even a framework for what we CAN know. We are only able to see where there might be connections between the bits that we DO know. Things perpendicular to that may be forever beyond our ken.
The big irony about men becoming lonelier when they stop hanging with the boys is what we miss. At least for me, when I get together with my old male friends, we spend the whole time busting balls (aka taking the piss). I was with some old friends recently, hadn’t seen most of them in 5+ years, we spent most of the time brutally roasting each other, and I left them feeling better than I have in ages. Getting dunked on by people you trust is good medicine I guess.
They talk about the differences between US and UK. What I see is that the US has been populated by people from all over the world looking for a better life and willing to relocate to achieve it. That takes ambition. So that would make it the country with the most ambitious population. Even if there is no genetic element to ambition the family culture would have an effect.
I found it interesting listening to your perspectives on how critical you all of your own country. You even mentioned that having national pride is in some circumstances, frowned upon. Here in the US, I would definitely say that in some instances, flying a flag can be stigmatized. We also are very critical of our own country. I think there's a lot in common between our people!
PLEASE…. PLEASE!!!! Tell me what a widget is… please! Before I ever I have to hear that word again used as an example, I must first know what this mysterious “Widget” is…
"Today’s society is no longer Foucault’s disciplinary world of hospitals, madhouses, prisons, barracks, and factories. It has long been replaced by another regime, namely a society of fitness studios, office towers, banks, airports, shopping malls, and genetic laboratories. Twenty-first-century society is no longer a disciplinary society, but rather an achievement society [Leistungsgesellschaft]. Also, its inhabitants are no longer “obedience-subjects” but “achievement-subjects.” They are entrepreneurs of themselves." Byung-Chul Han, The Burnout Society

Love you Chris. A note, you should not compare the outputs of the UK (70mil people) and the USA (330mil people). Per capita numbers give a more meaningful picture
Survivorship bias is a truly understudied/undertalked about phenomenon and touches on the subject of A-B testing. Yes some posts do fantastic, but you don't see the graveyard of people that shared similar posts. That's survivorship bias and it's deadly, and easy to do with unwarranted confidence.
America 🇺🇸 had a strong foundational advantage because many of its " Founding Father's " came from wealthy,educated aristocratic from England. The great ability to write,and speak to move men to collaborate to make American the shining city on a hill is what we owe to our British brothers.
The future is not everyone getting rich and being successful by this world's standards. The future is creating a world where money is absolutely unnecessary and useless because abundance and peace reach every single individual in existence. Don't let this old human system keep you enslaved and blind to what is truly important and possible as humans.
44:25 where George says that the biggest advertisers in the T.V. etc are pharmaceutical companies and that there are only 2 countries in the world where that is "allowed" is quite telling. My question is why Europe and other countries aren't questioning why they have so many rules on what they can or can't do.
From what I’ve heard is in the US if you take to much vacation time your job might not be there when you return. They managed without you and they find out they can move the work onto others. Also Brits got soft.
Busyness also feels like a shield. Protecting the bearer from being recruited into tasks from others looking for "bodies" or "hands". Seems that way sometimes.
Can anyone tell me the RU-vid Channel mentioned that visited empty towns in the north of England, please? I listened to this at work and can't find where it was talked about. Thanks
