 Tragedy has struck the family of YouTube's former CEO and we are going to be covering the reactions. Yeah, obviously this is sad news and I think that it relates to a situation that a lot of people across America are going through right now. Let's run the clip. The 19 year old son of former YouTube CEO Susan Wajiski has died. According to authorities, Marco Troper, a freshman at UC Berkeley was found dead inside his dorm room on Tuesday. His grandmother telling the San Francisco gate he died of an apparent overdose. It is unclear what kind of drug was involved. However, a UC Berkeley spokesperson confirms there were no signs of foul play. His grandmother says the family is devastated beyond comprehension. The son of former YouTube CEO Susan Wajiski has been found dead at the University of California with his family suspecting a drug overdose as the cause. 19 year old Marco Troper, a freshman at UC Berkeley, was found unresponsive in the Clark Kerr student complex on Tuesday afternoon. The math major's grandmother, Esther Wajiski, suggested he might have succumbed to a drug overdose after confirming his death and identity. Yeah, this is terrible news, but it actually relates to a trend that is happening in America right now. Obviously, R.R.P. to Marco Troper, the son of Susan Wajiski, the former CEO of YouTube, Andrew, we actually saw her speak one time at a YouTube conference for creators. I just think that this is a trend right now, and it's happening to a lot of people, almost regardless of socioeconomic status. You know what I mean? You have billionaire kids, millionaire kids, middle class kids, lower middle class kids, and of course lower class kids, and it seems like it's impacting everybody equally. Yeah, I mean, let's talk about it. So, yeah, let us know if you like topics like this as we cover them. But I guess I would say, David, is this considered a suicide or just a drug overdose? And is there a difference? I don't know, because I don't think that, you know, all the reports are out right now. I believe that a lot of people suspect that it's a drug overdose, possibly fentanyl. Obviously, that's what has been the trend, right? Right, right, right. That is what's trendy right now, as in that's a common droog. Right, right. But what it gets cut into something else, right, that people are not expecting. Right, but I guess what's, I mean, you know, this does happen to all types of kids all over the world, especially in America. Obviously, we talk about the suicide rate in Asia, especially like South Korea, Japan, primarily. But I guess like, why is this big news? Is it because she's a rich and famous person? You know, her net worth is 800 million. Obviously, rich families are actually not devoid of this tragedy. Right, and you can also argue that rich private school kids, Andrew, they might even do more drugs, right? And I think it's regardless of like upbringing, look at Hunter Biden, look at Donald Trump Jr. Ray Dalio's son. Obviously, we could go down the list of celebrities, kids who have actually had substance abuse problems and even suicide. So I guess it really can happen to anybody. But it seems like even that there are statistics that show even amongst the richer neighborhoods, it even happens more often. Right. I think there's more heavy drug use because the kids may have the liquidity or the money. The access to it. And the access, because it's a lot of things, it's like there's the desire to do something, but there's also the capacity and the access, like you said, also you need the capital. I think the internet reaction shows a few things, though. You know, obviously, there is the typical like outpour of sympathy for somebody that, you know, was the CEO of a product that everybody used for a number of years, right? Obviously, she was CEO since 2014, Andrew. That's like how long we've been on YouTube. You know what I mean? And but there's other people being like, oh, they deserved it. And you know, I mean, the internet is going to have so many reactions. Yeah, the internet is never going to be kind about this kind of thing. No, no, no, no, the internet comments, the internet is savage. Right, right, right, right. So anyway, let's just get into the comments section. Like we said, RIP, hopefully, you know, us doing this video is really to hopefully like people can actually take something away from this rather than the emotional reactions one way or the other. Somebody said, you know, the grandmother who was actually an author, the grandmother who is the mother of Susan Wojcicki. She said, you know, one thing we know is right now is that it was drugs involved. Right. Like that's all we know right now. She actually wrote a book saying how to raise successful people because she had three daughters that were really successful. One of them was married to Sergey Brin who founded Google and who ended up she ended up founding 23 and me. Right. So she did do stuff on her own. Basically, she had a bunch of billionaire daughters. You know what I mean? Like one through one way or another and they were powerhouses. Right. Do you think it's true though that that doesn't necessarily mean those powerhouses kids will be in the same situation because me and you know, Andrew, we have immigrant parents who's to say that our kids wouldn't be more likely to engage in more hyper American dopamine chasing activities than we would be because we're still so close to that first generation struggle. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think that it's tough because as a as a parent, you know, I think you've, I bet there's a lot of cases where parents feel like they've done everything right. Treated that kid with respect showed them the right path. Obviously giving them everything. Yeah. Giving them everything you possibly can in the world, but then they still choose to abuse drugs or get down into the wrong path and get into an emotional hole that they can't get out of. So I do think I bet now I don't have the stats for this, but I would assume that children of immigrants have a lower suicide rate. I would just bet it because you grow up in a family where you maybe have somewhat of a mission built in. Not every kid feels like this. I'm sure there's cases that, you know, I do know of some cases where it's happened regardless, but I guess like the rate might be lower just because you feel like you have a mission in life. To be, I don't know. Like you said, I think the situation and what motivates you and what your parents teach you growing up is completely different. Yeah. I mean, because because I will say this though, to play devil's advocate, I've seen some immigrant kids Andrew actually possibly commit suicide due to too much pressure versus the lack of a mission. That's true. That's true. That's true. Yeah. It happens in all ways. See, I guess the truth is, man, it can kind of happen to anybody, not to like scare it for different reasons. Yeah. Not to scare people, but it does happen to all. Somebody said it's so crazy how privileged these kids are. The first thing that they want to do is drugs. Somebody was saying, you know, some kids, they have everything. They have looks. They have money. They have access to systems and networks. And then they just throw it all away. And someone said, they're all hedonists. And this is what happens when you're rich and you get everything you want. That kid probably never lifted a finger for work, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Obviously, you know, people are saying like, if you have a future of prosperity already predetermined, sometimes it's really easy to slip into like behaviors where you're like, well, just self satisfaction is the only thing that matters. Yeah. Yeah. I do know of a parent, a family whose child told me, he told me that his parents lied to him about how much money they had growing up. So they actually were doing pretty well as a family business growing up, but they kind of hid their wealth from the children in order to build in that work ethic. And it kind of worked for maybe like two out of three of the kids. But so it's not going to work three out of three. It's not going to build in that. You never know again. One thing I've noticed is that every wealthy parent has a different approach. Like you said, some people try to recreate the struggle. Some people try to make their kids work at a menial job and work their way up the ladder to get some sense of it. Everybody has like a different approach, you know, but I'll tell you this. It's very difficult to recreate something in a way that doesn't exist. Like if there's not a real fire behind somebody's butt, it's difficult to make them feel like there's a fire underneath them and behind them. Right. Other people are saying, and of course the comments got political. This is the outcome of liberal policies on America brought down to a personal level. People are talking about border control, precursors shipped over from China, all types of things. Is this a legitimate debate to have when something like this happens to somebody high profile? Of course. There is a domino effect and there isn't. But then there's personal responsibility too. I don't think it has to do with the liberal policies as much, man. I think this is just the right wing person just trying to use this. Right. Because other people were like, what people didn't overdose on drugs like in the 70s and 80s, like in Miami during like cowboys and all this stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Lots of, yeah, it's always happened. Right. Right. Right. Of course, some people were in a way expressing some sort of like, yeah, you know, because I disagreed with her politics and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And of course, you know, I think anything, anytime anything happens to somebody like ultra wealthy and ultra influential and ultra powerful, there is some sense of like, oh, like you thought you were so high and mighty. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That is true. I do think that what is tough, but I'm sure I don't know if Susan's family really cares about this right now because this is probably the least of their concerns, but like there are always going to be people who kind of want to see the rich fall. You know, no matter if the riches is left or right, whether they're liberal or conservative, if they're just rich, people are going to look at them as opposition and be like, see, you guys don't have it all together. Even your kids can go into these emotional dark places and never come out of them. Right. And it's like, and you gave them everything. So you're wrong. You're clearly not a perfect person. You're not a perfect parent. Right. Yeah. Because what in, in, in society, we sort of put these people on a pedestal, like they did everything right. They're much stronger like game players than we are. So they're able to accumulate all this wealth and assets and like, I guess it comes down to like, sometimes people feeling like, man, these self-righteous people always try to tell me how to live, try to give me advice, but they don't have it all together. No, it's true. I mean, and this is a very, like we said, I think internet comments tend to show people's worst face though. And in person, people tend to be much more balanced generally. Not always, especially depends on their state of mind. People were just talking about how come everybody is required to carry Narcan. They're trying to tell regular citizens Andrew on the New York subway to carry Narcan. They're like Narcan in every dorm room. What is where are we at as a society in terms of normalized behavior? If people are advertising that people need to carry this thing with them to save somebody. Yeah. Yeah, it is kind of weird. I mean, I think there's definitely a drug problem. And I think that the suicide rate is only just one symptom of suicide. Obviously, I think there's actually, I think there's actually worse problems than suicide that drugs create. Like I think drugs, drugs in America, they create a lot of other even huge macro problems. More like violence. Yeah, because I would say, you know, we all know Japan and South Korea, they have no drugs, like no hard drugs. Very, very hard to get hard drugs. So the extremely hard. So when it comes to like suicide or drug overdose or accidental drug overdose in that country. Well, I mean, suicide from drug overdose is low, but suicide in itself is very high. Well, because they have a completely different society. Right. A lot of really, really heavy buying culture. Yeah. A lot of pressure and a lot of shame in that culture. So no matter what culture you have, there's going to be sadness, right? And there's going to be this. So I don't, I'm not saying you can stop it completely. No one can. But you can only like, you know, I mean, what could that family have done? I guess like, did they see any warning signs? Did they try to get them therapy? Sometimes the answer is that he, he had all these expectations. Maybe he only went to honestly as crazy as it sounds. He only went to UC Berkeley for his family. That might have not been good enough. Right. And maybe it's kind of crazy to say this. And like I said, RIP to him, like I'm not making light of this at all, but it's like almost like, what if he was a different type of thrill seeker where he was doing like a, you know, building jumping or like a hand gliding. And then there was an accident and he passed doing like extreme skiing or something like that. Right. Would that be perceived differently? Because you're still on a dopamine chase that you can't get from like, I guess like a regular lifestyle. I don't know. That's a good point. I mean, you know what I'm saying? Like, how would it be perceived? Like, I guess is your college student child dying period? Is that a failure? If they died doing something risky and surfing in these hard waters because that's their passion, or if they die overdosing from drugs, obviously it is perceived differently, but at the end of the day, they're still going too soon. You know what I mean? So I guess it's still volatile behaviors, but in different ways. Like the problem, the probabilities in both of those like lifestyle lanes is not that good, but completely perceived differently. Right. Like we said, guys. Risky behavior, but for different reasons. Yes. Yes. RIP and man, you know, the reason that we covered this, it was not to, you know what I mean? It's a tragedy, but we just wanted to cover it because it's going viral right now because it's high profile, but it's relating to something that's like a lot of people are going through at the moment. Yeah. So I guess anybody out there in the comments down below, like what would you say the simplest, I mean there's no simple solution to this, but I guess a lot of people in the comments I've seen are like just don't do drugs. That is number one. Don't get hooked on drugs. And if you do that is going to put you in a really bad position. Right. But obviously, like we said, people can die many different ways out there. So anyways, you guys let us know in the comments down below what you think. And until next time, we out. Peace.
