I can't stand that b1tch ass dude who used to have those ads with Lambos in his garage telling me to read his books that he wrote
The rise of Hustle Porn
- Thread starter Pressure

dont agree with this
people work to live lol Whether youre doing it earning a wage (worst way) or from profits of owning/selling something.
I think the problem with entrepreneurship culture is they push hard work as if it beats innovation when in reality you need both.
If we had no society and you had to live off the land youre doing:
1) Selling something youve found, made, excavated, built
2) Trading your time to get the things you need (food shelter etc)
This has been the same since antiquity. Only difference is with Capitalism anyone with an idea can build whatever they want provided they amass capital.
People don't understand how precious the ability to just make something is....Some countries you do not have this or you are directed into "work" and the possibility of making something is reserved for the chosen few.
Capitalism doesn't seem pretty at first but it is the only true system that allows ACTUAL freedom and not the illusion that is provided to wage earners in society.

depends how you view your life
The major targets of Hustle porn aren't fighting for mere survival
perspective is everything
If you understand what currency is and how it works it's not bad at all
but if you look at it only as a measure of your value or the things you find value in you'll spend your life being sold

That's Tai Lopez. Can't stand that idiot. The other day I got hit with a 3 minute unskippable ad with that bozo golfing with his mentor or some shyt.
Had to refresh that page as soon as I realized what was going on.
I'm just glad I'm not only one who can easily spot how disingenuous and full of shyt these cats are. But I'm sure many people eat it up.That's Tai Lopez. Can't stand that idiot. The other day I got hit with a 3 minute unskippable ad with that bozo golfing with his mentor or some shyt.
Tell that to the 5%, and a whole bunch of weed smokers!
i just did
that said, the writer reads like a pity party
folks work hard because they want more. Whatever more is is up to that person. People who just want "comfort" are in a trap and don't even realize it.

great thread breh. Gary Vee sucks, man. These people are vultures
Slightly related" I really really hate the news stories that say like "50 year old man who walks 4 miles to work everyday receives a bike/car from donations" Like no one should ever have to live like that or work like that just so they don't have lay their body on concrete at night
People's brains are so wired to think that if this human interaction isn't some type of currency exchange or skill development then it's useless. They can't imagine another world where you don't have to "grind all day". There's no sense of community from these people. Everyone out for themselves. I wish we could change this type of culture but unfortunately it's not happening in my lifetime.
that's a downside of this capitalistic hellhole we currently live in

I'm a descended of currency. The roots of capitalism in this country is evil. It's the root of aados pain.
You can't praise capitalism and ignore that fact.

Great thread. A great deal of this is the misguided idea that meritocracy and the individual are the underlying factors to all success. I used to have this perspective, and I can see how that can coincide with conservative/libertarian ideals tbh and by extension can lead to a decrease in empathy and an increase in moral grandstanding. If you listen to a lot of these guysthey like to dismiss relevant variables that substantially undermine their ideals (this isn't exclusive to the right, but their minority status among white collar professionals/knowledge workers may make them even more entrenched in their belief system) even in my most conservative days I was always open to evidence that undermined my beliefs.
I've taken a strong interest in productivity, efficiency, learning, and cognitive psychology over the last year and what has become clear is that the leading figures in productivity and expertise (Anders Ericsson, Angela Duckworth, Cal Newport,Carol Dweck, Charles Duhigg, the Heath brothers) avoid the moral grandstanding that is prevalent among the Gary Vee/Suze Orman types. They instead focus on the creation and maintenance of replicable utility maximizing systems (whether micro or macro in scale) instead of attributing success and failure to individual brilliance or individual incompetence.
I think that it is important to understand outcomes through a systems paradigm, especially important for the Black community. That is not to imply that we become beholden to bad situations, but instead take a step back and analyze the larger picture so that we may be able to undermine the relevant negative variables. Too often people see system paradigm thinking as excuse making and a form of enabling stagnation, and while I can admit that it MAY be used in this manner it doesn't have to be used that way.
For example if one can step back and analyze the 5 main relevant variables for learning something new (1. Overview of subject: Chunking 2. Retention byway of interleaving 3. Application of learned material: Active Recall: Practicing 4. Review of practiced material 5. Feedback) it is still important to assess the quality of the tools a person has access to in regards to each relevant variable. A person may not be able to pay for the tools that provide the most utility in regards to 3 out of the 5 variables, which can undermine the potential outcome. If we analyze the outcome and focus on the deficiencies within the process then we can bridge the gaps to get the optimal outcome. But if we focus on the individual and the outcome, disregarding or trivializing the deficiencies in the process, we miss the opportunity to bridge the gaps and are likely to make the same mistakes over and over again.
