you deal a lot with kind of like i guess mental health issues and i don't know if you're familiar
with the libs of tick tock account which to me is like a gold mine of mental health issues
uh so chris pratt is an actor uh he he's had kind of a target on his back because he is a christian
uh and he posted this you know kind of happy looking
photo with him and his wife i think he's remarried and leave it to the mentally ill uh
look at that face holy [ __ ] jesus christ it's like gollum had sex with a girl from the ring
leave it to it the mentally ill harpies of the libs of well that she's not posting the lives of
tick-tock but they sure they sure found her uh anyway i wanna this is there's clearly a
a lot of women it feels like more women hating on this guy for being happy and and remarrying
so we're gonna watch this and i want to get your your feelings because woohoo let's catch up with
our least favorite chris shall we the man that april ludgate and anna ferris are way too good for
posted this on his instagram guys for real look how she's looking at me i mean find you somebody
that looks at you like that you know we met at church yeah i know we could all tell we could tell
by the fact that she's staring at you like that in a duggar sort of way and you're not looking at
her you're looking at the camera and treating her like a prize then he goes on she's giving me an
amazing life a gorgeous healthy daughter healthy daughter that was important to put in there right
don't you have a son wasn't he born premature hasn't he had health issues yeah yeah yeah but
don't worry guys her heart is pure and it belongs to him he's got a trophy they share a facebook
account don't they they do they have to share a facebook account there's so much here chris uh
i i think a lot of this to me is just like okay this is high school in some senses high school
twitter can be an instagram all the platforms can kind of just be like high school all over again
but it's interesting that like people will spend time like reading into the intentions
of of his instagram posts like how dare he mention this healthy daughter when he
has another child with another woman and maybe there's some disabilities there but i don't know
i think the larger issue here is like a happy person doesn't make this kind of a tick tock
doesn't make this kind of a post and it's weird it's like is is she kind of telling herself
like is this is this tic tac for herself like it's kind of like it's defensive who is she
talking to to me it sounds like she's just trying to let herself know it's okay to be
alone it's it's like she's miserable right now she's jealous but that's okay because
somehow if you can find a bad motive in chris pratt like then she doesn't have to look within
i don't know whether people that post those tick tocks and then get featured on libs and tick tock
i don't know if they feel like right finally on the big stage because they should stand by
their content should be like right yeah i've made it to the [ __ ] world series she made it
she obviously spent time editing it and thinking about what she was going to say and putting it up
so i would be fascinated to find out if that girl is now happy that her message has reached what 107
000 views in five hours that's [ __ ] good if she stands by what she says that's a good bit of reach
i don't know i mean the first thing is that i'm happy i'm not the world's least favorite chris
yeah yeah one thing that i can take away from it and yeah i mean there's
the bottom line is nobody is sufficiently pure for the wokemob i i don't really like using the
word works it's just become even the is a [ __ ] pejorative has become lambasted but no one's pure
enough he's a guy who has posted an image about his new misses saying that he's happy with her
and and the subtext of he mentioned the son well it's not her son like presumably the sons from a
previous marriage so it's it's his son she didn't give him so if he posts a photo with her with the
sun and not with the daughter is that also about there's no degree of purity that people can
get to that's sufficiently well well done and the problem is when we were kids there was no
global broadcast medium with which to spout the shitty half-baked opinions coming out of your
non-developed pre-functional cortex like there isn't there was no way that you could broadcast it
to the world however now there is and we're seeing the [ __ ] result of that in front of our eyes
so the so it sounds like this would just be like uh an outburst you would you know you'd
call a friend and have it out with her like yeah what did we do in the in the auth the early odds
we would like uh write notes to our friends or we'd have long phone calls we'd sort of
get it out of our system that way you know yeah we had myspace but it wasn't uh it was
just you're leaving away messages there wasn't you know there wasn't like this need to spew out
like all of your insecurities and all that's the thing this is a moment in time i don't know i just
think it's interesting like what if this woman who posted this ends up like meeting a guy and she
evolves and she's really happy i don't know so now she has like the internet it's just it stamps you
you know it's not that you shouldn't express yourself but i don't know i think it's fascinating
our opinions from when we were teenagers haven't been encapsulated on the internet
for the rest of time because that's staying that video now exists for the rest of her life
that video at that angle with her looking like she's 105 percent chin i think you're going to
say 105 years old 105 percent chicken [ __ ] yes that is that is one of the four horsemen of the
apocalypse that face throw on a little mascara that's why i'm late for all of these podcasts
i'm i'm not i'm trying to not look like this girl yeah yeah i mean that's terrifying really
terrifying oh god okay well if that wasn't enough here we go again with another person saying oh if
why don't you just leave once again i didn't realize moving to a different country was free
you willing to find me a house or a permit and pay for housing you willing to help me pay to renounce
my u.s citizenship to get me the [ __ ] out of here are you willing to help hey to help me move
my [ __ ] over there oh you're not again she's just like complaining complaining complaining
you know you know the old thing like if you don't like it just leave that's what she's responding to
the plane and moved it's just like being a victim is so addictive it's such a drug and i you were
speaking to a guy on on a recent episode i think he was uh i forget his name but he said like this
victimhood drug is pushed so hard on the black community i think it's also pushed really hard
on these sort of like struggling younger people like i don't know if it's necessarily
i mean these are probably millennials as well not just gen z but uh it's just a real
it's it makes me sad i feel like it's it's something that's pushed on people that robs
them of joy that robs them of finding a fulfilling life because they're not starting from a place of
gratitude you know like you're making a tick tock complaining about how you're a victim how is that
going to attract more uh like abundance into your life yeah it's an easy get out of jail free card
to blame whatever insufficiencies you have in your life on external circumstances and say that you're
a victim now that doesn't mean that there aren't real victims like all right there are there are
things that occur but you get to choose how you interpret that situation you can either choose it
as look at what happens to me or okay this is a lesson i can get past it so on and so forth
um i think what we're probably talking about this it doesn't look to me like this person
is living in a tent somewhere they're not homeless this isn't someone i can't tell but they don't
look like they're physically disabled so you think okay there are people that have it you are not
at the bottom of the hierarchy of how [ __ ] life could be there is a fair bit lower for you to fall
um i don't know it's that nobody asked you just leave thing do people that aren't contributing
to society have the right to criticize about the society that they're in that's kind of the
question that we're asking here it sounds like it doesn't seem like this person probably is
she doesn't seem like a valid community it doesn't seem like a va it might i
may have just misgendered this person as well uh doesn't seem like a valid community member
it doesn't seem like they'll be contributing that much so given the fact that maybe not do they have
the right to be able to criticize about a system that they don't contribute to that's the question
yeah and you spoke to god and i can't remember anything john mcwhirter these guests names um
is it and this seems like it seems just like posting making tech talks it's such a distraction
because if you can spend like many hours a day doing this it's like sort of gratifying you get
clicks you get likes you get validation whereas like it takes you away from the harder task of
being like okay look i am like genuinely not happy in my life right now i don't know if it's like i
need to look at my finances i need to find a job i need to look at my relationships i need
to get in better shape it uh i think we have to be all conscious of the fact that like social media
and even if some of us are like watching this podcast on social media right now obviously
but it it can rob you oh like what are the ways that people can watch and be careful
of the ways that social media kind of robs you of your chance to be like a fully like
the happiest person you can be right because you had this woman on is talking about how
like the your dopamine centers gets just so uh like overrun hit too many times that it
it sort of ruins your ability to kind of like feel like real lasting happiness and i think
it's been the base this basically like this podcast can be like how can we get everybody
uh reading jordan peterson books and and learning that the way to lasting happiness is through like
work and uh commitments and taking responsibility like it's tricky because we need social media
for both of what we do but at the same time it can be such such a dangerous distraction
the modern devil is cheap dopamine that 100 percent it's the main thing that is stopping
most people in the modern world from achieving what they want to achieve we can fragment our day
into so many tiny little slivers that you don't ever end up getting something
worthwhile and fulfilling done you make no progress towards your meaningful long-term
goals because you're constantly keeping your notifications at zero or you're constantly making
sure that you reply to your instagram dms so a good question for people to ask themselves is what
would be the prize of winning the game that i'm playing so let's say that you're playing a game
i'm playing the game of my instagram notifications are always going to be at zero or i'm always going
to be the quickest person to reply in a group chat or whatever like tell me what the prize is that
you win for playing that particular game [ __ ] all like actually nothing because it's a perpetual
uh stream of just stuff coming in and then you respond and then it goes back out again
whereas tell me what the prize of winning the go to the gym five times a week spend
more time with my parents read some books get go to bed and get up on time meditate every day
read every day whatever whatever it is that floats your butt [ __ ] start start knitting
whatever it is that you think is actually going to contribute to lasting happiness what happens
if you win that game if you play stupid games you win stupid prizes and the prize that most
people are winning at the moment is just [ __ ] the dopamine and honestly what before
even beginning to read a jordan peterson book just maybe a week without social media
like maybe just see if you could do that and that on its own would be the beginning of a good detox
away from this stuff it allows your dopamine levels to rebalance in the brain a little bit
you
