I’m excited for the second part of this episode with Tim Urban, the man that turned his blog into a global movement who is now bringing us a new framework through which to through complex societal issues. You’re possibly one of over 65 million people that watched Tim Urban’s legendary TedTalk, Inside the Mind of a Master Procrastinator.
We’re continuing this conversation where Tim introduces ideas from his book, What’s Our Problem?: A Self-Help Book for Societies, and this leads into the last part of this epic conversation unpacking the power games, why liberal games are a necessity and why the alternative to equal opportunity is possibly a disaster to steer clear from.

QUOTES:
“The dictator and their little consortium have the power to do what they want, so they do and other people don't so they can't.”
“It's a very disempowering thing to teach kids that this country, because there is inequality, is inherently oppressive and I think it is just demotivating.”
“What concerns me about our current political environment is that we have so many hard problems ahead, big discussions we have to have as a species, and our society has to be able to have its wits about us. We have to have our wits about us going into this future where we're getting more godlike power and be wise about it because the stakes are going up.”

Are we putting our ability to progress as a society at risk giving into the primitive mind?
I’m excited for the first part of this two-part episode with Tim Urban, the man that turned his blog into a global movement who is now bringing us a new framework through which to through complex societal issues. You’re possibly one of over 65 million people that watched Tim Urban’s legendary TedTalk, Inside the Mind of a Master Procrastinator.
Tim is joining me today to introduce ideas from his book, What’s Our Problem?: A Self-Help Book for Societies, and this leads into the first part of an epic conversation unpacking the primitive mind, woke ideology that has weaponized words, and the tug of war between your individuality and society.

QUOTES:
“We live in this advanced civilization where so much of our natural programming tendencies actually hurt us and misfire, so we're constantly in this kind of tug of war.
“When we have a more accurate picture of the world, we can do more for the world.”
“The fact that there is also subjective experience, which each person kind of has their own, to me that's part of objective truth. Objective truth is just reality.”
“I see really well-intentioned people get lost in the sequence of, every answer is going to be nuanced and nuance is very hard if you can't talk out loud.” -Tom Bilyeu

Next Episode
I’ve built a billion dollar company and for as much success as I’ve seen in my life, I’ve seen triple the amount of failures. When it comes to doing hard things, getting absolutely and totally obsessed with what I am after and doing so with unrelenting focus day after day, I can outlast and outperform anyone.
You’re not going to achieve this level of success being weak and not absolutely sure about what you want to accomplish. Because I’ve been to the other side of the rainbow, I can tell you the pot of gold you’re after isn’t worth anything if you don’t prioritize chasing fulfillment first.
QUOTES:
“Go at it like a freak of nature.”
“You are average, but you can get better. Go f*cking learn.”
“When you go that hard everything will relent to your superior will.”
“The most terrifying thing about excuses it that they are valid.”
“I’m not smarter than the average person, but man, I am way harder to break.”
“It’s right when it moves you towards your goals and it’s wrong when it moves you away.”
“You need a maniacal focus, you need to be lasered in on one thing and you do it to the abstraction of everything else and you do it obsessively to the point where everything else in your life ideally is falling apart...”
