I define a genius as someone who effortlessly recognizes patterns that others don't, and can self-check themselves without an ego. They are continuous in their production of novel insights or works of art. They tend to be fluent in verbal and nonverbal languages and can combine them to express themselves or solve problems on the fly. They don't need to consult with other authorities before coming to their own conclusions about reality. The negative side of this is that they tend not to listen to other people, and they often resort to conspiracy theories to justify their beliefs, since no institutions take them seriously due to their poor social skills. It's really interesting that you can be a genius internally, but when you interact with others, they think you're cognitively impaired. Interaction between two people is never as efficient as interaction between you and yourself. Great, now I'm sounding like a maniac.

I'm coming to terms with the fact that the west is pro-anti-intelligence. Dogmatic religions are dangerous, no matter how scientific they claim to be. What's the solution? Bunkers and VR. I didn't really talk about that in the episode, I mostly complained about dumb people and how I'm the next Einstein. Unfortunately I'll probably be Epsteined before anyone finds out about this gift.

Have you ever wondered what is means for something to mean to something? What happens in the brain when it ascribes meaning to something? That's a tough thing to think about, let alone describe. How can something becoming meaningful if it cannot be described? What is our brain doing when it assigns meaning to something but can't think of the words for that feeling or idea? This episode has nothing to do with any of the above, but if you are a fanboi of Elon Musk, this one's for you.Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th0FmA68o04

I never appreciated the difference between network and cable TV, and that the whole point of a TV network is to sell advertising. This might already be obvious to most people, but it wasn't to me because I never actually wondered why TV shows are created in the first place. It's to make content that grabs the eyeballs of a certain demographic for the sake of selling stuff to the owners of those eyeballs.
HBO and premium networks are actually creating content for the sake of quality, not to sell products. Either way, it's just rich people paying talented people to do stuff that will result in profit. Even if it doesn't make a profit, all the people involved get recognized for being in "show business." I guess that's a blessing and a curse, but it's interesting that all it takes to create famous people and critically acclaimed "art" is a big enough bag of money.
It takes the glamour out of show business to know that anyone with enough money can start a production company and that is the only thing stopping great art from happening. It takes a businessman first to allow artists to create art. Simply creating art doesn't lend itself to a career. There has to be some rich guy out there who greenlights it. So if you aren't talented enough to be an actor, just become a rich guy. You'll get way more gratification out of that.Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pa7JKLO2bE

Why do American liberals only care about abuse of power in arbitrary latitudes and longitudes? I'm pretty sure there are worse examples of people taking advantage of their power than Puff Daddy. But he's located in America so that for some reason makes it relevant. Same with Taylor Swift. People are hating on her for being a billionaire who wastes fuel, but I haven't heard from them getting angry about the trillionaires in Saudi Arabia who sold her the fuel. Aren't they doing more damage to the environment than all of the billionaires combined? I'm not saying we should go after trillionaires. It's a beautiful thing that they are getting away with it scot free for simply not being American.

This is another podcast I recorded to get ready for something else. My podcast in and of itself is not powerful enough to do without some outside force that initiates me to do it. Doing someone else's podcast is a great example of such a force. I don't remember what I talked about at all on this one.But, I remember what I talked about on The High Today Show. It will come out in about a week. You'll see that I'm wearing the same exact shirt in both podcasts, which proves that they were recorded within mere hours of each other. I'm only documenting this to make it easy for future generations to organize my life's chronology when they create works about it.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/DvGhTQNdBcw

I recorded this episode purely to warm up my speaking voice for a stand-up comedy show I was booked on. I didn't prepare at all in the weeks leading up to the show by actually performing in public, so this is the best I can do to at least feel warmed up. There is no substitute for actually performing in front of an audience, but I had my hands tied with coding projects which I happen to be a lot better at than comedy. It's way easier to get up and walk to the next room to do something you're already good at, than it is to drive ten miles into a dangerous city to bomb in front of people and feel worthless the rest of the night. I need to figure out how to solve my issue with agoraphobia if I ever want to be a Joe Rogan comedian. Probably won't happen. The show went well, by the way.

It's great to be back in front of the camera and terrible for the people behind it. And also for the people behind the microphone, as my voice is very annoying. In this episode, I catch everyone up on how I've been doing with ADHD medication, talk about using language models to improve my proficiency as a programmer, and a lot of long winded nonsense about personal finance and how simple it is to build wealth by buying low and selling high. I would rate this episode pretty high up in quality, but that isn't saying much. It's got a few good moments, but is ridden with unwatchable displays of some kind of undiagnosed compulsivity. I can see why I don't do this very often.

With Trump back on the campaign trail the country is more united than ever. A lot of people don't like the guy, but that's because they're told not to like him. If you have no social life, and spend 90% of your time watching YouTube, you're definitely more likely to support him.
Celebrities whose careers' peaked long ago are the least likely to intentionally support him, because voicing their distaste for him is the only way they can feel relevant again. If you're a celebrity currently at the peak of your success, you're probably not going around bashing Trump, because why would you? Success doesn't make you bitter. It's only when it dries up that you become like Barbra Streisand, Rob Reiner, Stephen King, and Luke Skywalker.
The one exception is Taylor Swift, who's currently peaking in success. The reason she voices her distaste for Trump is simply be because Kanye actively supported him. It's easier to point your ire towards some old white guy than the person who actually slighted you.

Are multicellular organisms a scam? Like capitalism, our bodies enslave billions of cells to do our bidding. These individual cells take direct orders from the dictatorial nervous system, of which the brain is in charge of. What benefits are they receiving by working 24/7 in such a society? Sure, they get to survive for a few years at most, but what happens after they retire? Do they get a pension? Our thankless brain is being serviced by these hard working machines at their complete expense. Single cell organisms have a much better quality of life.

I'm a contrarian investor with over two years of experience in the stock market. I've now been through at least one market cycle and that is enough to feel confident giving strangers financial advice. I live by the words of the late Charlie Munger, who famously said you make money sitting on your butt. I go against the common folk who say you shouldn't try to time the market. Screw that nonsense. The market is like the ocean. You can't fight it, but you can certainly choose not to set sail during a hurricane. I'm also a gambling addict who has been day trading 0 DTE SPX options for over a month. Hear all about it in this tremendous episode.

Comedian Michael Dragon joins me to talk about day trading the S&P 500 and other topics related to investing and finance. Usually people who are passionate about these topics aren't known to be the funniest people. Well times are changing, and thanks to r/wallstreetbets there are a lot more finance bros being born every day. Look out hedge funds, retail investors are becoming the new sharks.

Going from poor to rich and then losing most of your wealth is very detrimental to a person's identity. I've been saying this for a while on this podcast, but it wasn't until I watched another guy's podcast who validated this idea. It's freeing to know that money is not the ultimate thing to chase in life.

There's a reason has-been celebrities are called "washed up" and that's because they spend so much time hanging out in bathtubs. These evil manmade pools have claimed the lives of many famous people in the past decade. We need to spread more awareness about the dangers of taking baths if you are a former star from the 90s. Who will be next to parish from the warm kiss of a bubble bath?

I've been sober from alcohol for two years and there hasn't really been much to show for it, other than not embarrassing myself in public as often. It helps that I rarely am seen in public. I've become a very private individual and can only relate to the upper elite class. This podcast doesn't count as being personal, as I don't think anyone listens. These past few weeks I've been hyper focused on music production and options trading. Two of the most boomer hobbies in existence.

Handicapped people tend to be better than average people because they were forced to adapt due to their shortcomings. The average person just smooth brains their way through life without evaluating anything. Being called a boot licker doesn't offend me because it's usually door dashers who call me this. I respect people to some degree by default, but if your job is to deliver other people's food I can't say I value your opinions anymore than the opinions of an octopus or a tarantula.

I've got a full fledged look going called the natural mullet. I need more western shirts to go with my matured style. I am a guitar player and that includes ukuleles, since those are just smaller guitars with fewer strings. I prefer the lightweight version of the guitar that you can play in bed. The older the ukulele, the harder it is to change the strings and keep it in tune. I also talk about my s*x traffi**ing agency in this episode.

Trump was arrested and this makes him more attractive than ever as a candidate. Who wouldn't want to vote for an ex-president that went to jail for no real reason? In other news, I learned about Hikikomori, an advanced lifestyle invented by Japanese people. I used to think being a recluse was a bad way to live, now I'm convinced we are the ones who have figured out that avoiding society is actually the better way to do it.

Tim is back and more eloquent and insightful than ever. This episode is more of a lecture on why Trump is a good leader, why imposing a wealth tax is a stupid idea, and why the oligarchy is not as evil as people make it sound. If you hate rich people, this episode will surely change your mind.

Being funny is a rare gift, and it can't be denied once it has been proven. Some comedy elitists claim that Chris D'Elia is not funny because he does silly voices and not the type of comedy that they were taught is legitimate in their circles. I can get not enjoying his comedy, but to deny that he's funny is simply wrong. Look up his older stuff on YouTube from around 2011.
