 Good day, I'm 840 here. So I just think it's funny that Two and a half weeks, I think since I did the Andy Newickey interview We've both done like lots of videos inspired by that that train wreck of an interview And I think we're both like we're both like more affirmed than ever in the righteousness of our cause So I'm really firm that oh, yeah, that was a you know, great interview So interesting and it just raised so many important ideas and issues and like it's really important that we explore you know, how much mood can affect the way we view the world and Andy Newickey is like reaffirmed in in his views that like ah this this interview It just just illustrates, you know certain ways that I see the world So I just think it's funny that two and a half weeks after this train wreck of an interview We're both like more confirmed than ever in the righteousness of our cause and I think it's also interesting that we're both so Stimulated or triggered or however you want to put it by what went down like it touched something core in me Touched something core in Andy. It's been a tremendous spur to productivity for both of us Like Andy may get a novel out of it. Yeah, I I'm Together we might inspire a documentary out of it but Just interesting how we both like We go through the Sturm and Drang and we're like we're both like 100% convinced in the righteousness of our approach and You know, I think oh man Why can they roll with the punches and find the humor in it and and he's thinking Oh, why was I so nice to him? I shouldn't be so nice He like took advantage of my kindness and because he's just a malicious nasty dude And I'm thinking man. He's so he's so sunk in his despair that he's unable to see the humor in things and So we have this this confrontation and conflagration and we both get inspired triggered We've both become productive from it and it brings up all sorts of like insights and issues and philosophies it's like oh, there's this really important point that came out of this discussion and And Let me just elaborate on it now because it's a really important point because it's something that I've been right about for 25 years so just funny when two people argue and then and Then they make it a little bit of a public argument And then both people are like more convinced than ever that they're you know 100% on the side of the angels You know the other person it just doesn't get it like he's either morose or he's operating in bad faith There was just nasty like and he was really offended that when he told me that The first 12 years of his life were really happy so when I asked him the happiest times of his life I think he said up to age 12 and my response was to laugh so for me that was laughed as an involuntary Reflex and I laugh at all sorts of things that other people find inappropriate and Andy says well Look, you know and then Luke laugh when I said that last time I was consistently happy was when I was I was 12 And it just shows you what kind of person he is and I'm thinking oh, yeah shows what kind of person Is that you know I laugh a lot and I laugh at things that are inappropriate and from any Suspecting oh shows you what kind of person 40 years. He you know he laughs at other people's misery This is just a guy who operates in bad faith just a terrible interviewer. Just taking advantage of my kindness and I know You know to be on guard against other people's manipulations and how other people take advantage of your kindness So we're both like more of fun than ever in our world views like my world view is that like I feel happy and great 99.9% of the time Like yeah So to me this is like hilarious. It was productive It illustrated my my philosophies on life that when you're morose You're gonna just find things to get morose about that when you're depressed like everything around you It's gonna look like a dystopia and you're gonna produce dystopian fiction out of that place Andy is reaffirmed that Now the world can be you know a nasty cruel place and all sorts of people who ostensibly appear nice and Polite well if you just turn your back on them They're just gonna absolutely stab you in the back and and I think one of the things that he took away from the interview I was just too nice. I was just like I was just operating in good faith I was just trying to honestly answer his questions and he was just trying to make me look horrible And he was just manipulating me and I was like naive I was like Christ and it led to the slaughter like 40 put me up on a on a cross and he was just like pounding nails into my hands and my feet and asking well How does that feel and I was just trying to answer him honestly and And this guy just like deviously, you know took advantage of my kindness of my of my naivete of my you know desire to please and He just like totally screwed me over. He like took me before a Sanhedrin and Essentially he convicted me and he crucified me on a cross, but hey three days later. I've risen again and here I am and I'm thinking, you know, bro, you know, it was funny. It was compelling like so many Interesting important insight came out of it I'm like more reaffirmed than ever in my situation as perspective on life And I think any new wikis like more reaffirmed than ever in his views are moral character that you know, some people just don't have the right stuff and They may appear nice and on the outside But then when they start laughing when you talk about your pain, you know Just shows what a rotten person they they really are they they can put up this front but underneath their moral character It's absolutely putrid and I'll never talk to that guy again So it also reminds me of something Bertrand Russell Wrote that if we knew what our friends were thinking None of us would be able to sustain a friendship because like any new wiki and I had like a perfectly convivial Acquaintanceship and then as we kept going deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole in In the train wreck of an interview and then the follow-up interviews We started like revealing more and more about what we know concluded about the other person and so When when we had no idea what was going on in the other person's head, you know, we got along just fine but now we have a little bit of a of a disagreement a public disagreement and then suddenly we start Then we start unloading more and more about what was going on in the back of our head So under normal circumstances, I would never say to or about any new wiki that He's long-winded and meandering that I don't I don't generally make criticisms of people Like I don't generally make personal criticisms of people but this situation just evolved in a way where it just became natural to To share more and more of what I was thinking just what were you guilty of I watched Andy I like him, but I didn't see the interview So it's hard to understand exactly what you're talking about Well, what I'm talking about is that two and a half weeks later Both of us could still be talking about the interview because we were both inspired provoked and yeah We'll both meet in Valhalla But it's just interesting that two people can come out of this experience that we shared and we both like Even more certain even more strong even more determined like oh, yeah I was so right and and you know that other person is just like totally out to lunch. Like why doesn't he get it I Mean you think that after this experience, he would have learned something like I think we both Have that attitude like I think oh come on Andy Why can't you see the humor in this like, you know, why can't you have a chuckle about this? Like why does it have to be such sturm and drain and he's thinking Look you're you're devious your manipulative you're a liar you operate in bad faith. You're a terrible interviewer You're cruel and heartless. You laugh at other people's misfortunes. You're a really bad person And so I am more of fun than ever in my happy-go-lucky Finding everything funny in life approach, you know, I find everything funny in life Except money that's owed to me. I don't find that funny but aside from that I pretty much find everything else in life funny and Andy Finds pretty much everything confirms his understanding that America is going down the troops and you know Western civilizations in very serious trouble and we've been going through a dystopia So we both share the same experience and we both affirmed in our fundamental world view like I'm a happy guy So I tend to focus and notice everything that makes me happy I'm a positive guy. So I tend to notice and focus on positive things. Doesn't mean I'm right I'm just saying I notice and you notice things that match your mood and Andy has a more skeptical morose depressed Sad melancholy Dostoyevsky in world view and so he's much more likely to notice those things in life and in his interactions with me That reaffirm his Dostoyevsky in world view So two men can look out from prison bars One sees mud and the other sees stars and they're both right because outside of our prison bars There's mud and there's stars and we get to choose what we focus on
