these two functional people getting together and working through their issues with their good tools. Oh I think that happens for some people. So if you're giving advice that could only work in the rarest of situations it doesn't help.

Now this is analogous to my criticism of success advice. Do you know what kind of advice doesn't help? Success advice that only works for really smart people because you might not be one, right? So when I talk about forming a talent stack or the systems are better than goals do you notice that that works for everybody? I don't know if anybody's picked that up but that you know probably the two most important contributions I'll make to civilization is the talent stack idea, putting together talents that work well together, and having a system as opposed to a goal. Those two things work for everybody. Smart people, dumb people, criminals, non-criminals. Like it just it's as good a generic advice.

But man when I hear the advice about learn to code maybe but I'm not sure everybody can learn to code, right? That's not good advice. So same with relationships.

Here's another category. Advice that made a lot of sense in the 50s. I'm seeing a lot of advice that was just perfect for the 50s but the things have changed a little bit and your old traditional situation it might have been better, you know the traditional family it might have been better but you're not going back. Like sort of the horse got out of the barn there a little bit. So that advice is a little bit of a problem.

How about number three? I'm seeing a place for men that's so hostile in human reproduction. Advice for men that's so about what women want and how hard it is to satisfy them and happen if you get married. It's I've seen more honest advice than I've ever seen in my life. Honest advice would end civilization because the only reason we do things that make civilization go forward is because we're hypnotized by civilization to think that we should do things a certain way that helps reproduction. If you were just looking out for yourself probably you would make different decisions but you know we're sort of reproduction optimized so we're going to reproduce no matter what.

And I would say Andrew Tate is on that list. So they're the men who say you tell the woman exactly what you will put up with and then if she crosses that line there's no forgiveness. You just walk away and break it off. How does that advice work in the real world? Ah well if you're Andrew Tate it probably works great for him. It might be perfect because he's got resources and he can travel the world and he can just get rid of one girl and get another.

Now suppose everybody took his advice and you all said you give me once and I'm out of here. You know I'm in charge. That's how this is going to work. As soon as you stop understanding that oh you can you're free go make it somewhere else. Do you think that would work? No it would end all reproduction.

The only reason we reproduce is because men don't quite realize that the evolutionary purpose of a woman is to drain a man's resources and transfer it to children. If you see humans as a machine you know like if you're looking at an engine you say all right the carburetor does this the spark plugs do this. If you just look at humanity as a machine the purpose of women is to take resources from men and not to leave them alive or healthy. Nobody needs that. All you need is the kids to be alive and healthy. If the kids are doing good then reproduction has been satisfied and that's all evolution cares about.

Evolution never said hey let's make men happy. Instead it went cheap. Instead of making men happy with I don't know how you do it but it'd be hard. Men have been designed by evolution apparently to believe that tomorrow is going to be better if they just give the woman what she's asking for. She won't be unhappy tomorrow because you will solve their problem. And if men did not have the illusion that women have problems that can be solved and then everything's good because the problem is solved. If we could ever get out of that illusion everything would break. But men stay with it because we're pretty sure that was just a temporary problem. I'm sure that that won't happen again tomorrow and maybe it doesn't but it's a different thing.

So here's the most important thing you need to know about women. They're designed to keep their man unhappy because if the man is happy he's not going to do anything for him. If the woman projects herself as being unhappy the man will say all right all right you're ruining my whole day. I'll give you that thing and then tomorrow because I solved this problem tomorrow is going to be good. At least tomorrow is going to work out. And then the woman realizes that this happy man isn't going to give her anything so she gets unhappy again and then the guy's all right one more day I'll just do this other thing. Repeat forever.

Now if men understood this and I could even tell you and like we're so trained to not see the world that way that I can't just tell you and then you can see it. But am I wrong? Imagine just taking your own relationship and imagine you took Andrew Tate's advice and man let me ask you this married men. He takes his advice. If your woman doesn't give you what you want you just walk out. You say we're done. We're done. How would that work in your life? It wouldn't work at all. It wouldn't work at all because you're not Andrew Tate and you can't get on your private jet and go to another country and woo some Romanian girl that doesn't know you.

Right now I'm not saying he hasn't worked on a good system for himself and I compliment him for that and Andrew Tate is doing a great career, financial, energy monster kind of job for himself. But I don't think his advice is going to work for all of you necessarily.

Oh here's another category. Advice for women about what men want as if giving men what they want would make a woman happy. I keep hearing you know women you have to know that you know men need you know some quiet time and you know they need to be appreciated and the advice sounds really good. Sounds really good like wow seems like that those are all the things the man would want.

Do you know what's wrong with that advice? You're giving advice to somebody who doesn't want that advice. They know how to make the man happy. They keep him unhappy intentionally because making him happy would be terrible for them. They wouldn't get what they wanted like I just said, right? They have to keep him slightly unhappy all the time. That's how this entire operating system, there's no second way to do it. All right unless you know if there's some rare very functional people.

And here's one. This is just me being an asshole so I'll say it first so you don't have to. So the fifth one on my list is just me being a little bit of an asshole and the fifth one is advice from relationship experts who spend most of their time on the road. I'm just gonna let that sit there. Yeah I don't want to hear. I do not want to hear relationship advice from somebody who doesn't have to be home very much. You know what I mean? I feel like we'd all do a little bit better if we were home and that's especially what I feel when I hear.

And to be honest if you haven't picked it up a lot of this is indirect criticism of Jordan Peterson's relationship advice. Now Jordan Peterson is genuinely a super smart guy and when he says things they always make sense, right? And you know if people could do the things that he's recommending they'd probably be great but I think he does advice for functional people who largely don't exist and he models being away from home a lot because it seems like he gets around. I know I feel like that's got to be part of it.

And he said something that I saw yesterday. I don't know when he said it but I saw a clip of Jordan Peterson saying that you know being a high character man and building a functional relationship and especially a family is really the only thing that's going to make you happy when you reach the age of 60.

Have you ever heard him say that? Like when you reach a certain age you know all of your cheap joy and cheap sex and all that it's not gonna, that's not gonna feed you once you're 60. What are you going to do still be a playboy at 60?

Now interestingly he just turned 60. So that's his age. And I was sitting there before I heard that at age 65. I was sitting there thinking damn I just have good days lately. Like ever since I got off that pharmaceutical nightmare a few several weeks ago but I've had nothing but good days. Like I wake up and I go oh man I'm gonna like have a nice walk in the sun. I gotta get a massage later. Like I'll just do one good thing after another. I'll go play with my dog. Even the work I do is work I don't mind doing. I miss arguably this is work but barely.

And I was thinking to myself I was perfectly happy and then I listened to Jordan Peterson tell me that I was empty and had no chance of happiness because I'm not in the family. And I thought maybe, we'll see. He could be right about that.

All right. Did you hear CNN playing cell phone conversation of a Russian soldier in Ukraine calling his girlfriend and complaining about the Russian leadership? Now that the summary of that is that the Russian soldiers said that the leadership got shelled and they packed up and they moved further away from the front line but they didn't move their troops further from the front line. They didn't move the troops further. And the soldiers like what the hell? Like we're just getting apparently half of them had been wiped out. So they and the soldier was talking about killing, murdering their own commanders.

Now I don't know if it's just one guy spouting off to his girlfriend but he actually said it you know there that they were getting ready to go just kill their own commander. And who knows how representative it is but one of the things that the soldier said is that if it wasn't for this ragtagged bunch of people who were half of them have been killed and they don't want to be there that that's the only thing keeping Ukraine from marching to Moscow.

And I thought to myself have the Russian soldiers been told that they're protecting Moscow? Do you think that they believe maybe they've been propagandized the Ukraine is the aggressor? Do they believe that a Ukrainian aggressor? Because maybe.

I mean you are ignorant concerning Jordan Peterson igles says aren't we all? How could I not be ignorant about Jordan Peterson? Would I not need to read his mind to have a complete picture? I suppose you've done that. Have you done the work? You did some research, dug a little deeper, developed a machine that could read his mind, complete all the picture, fill in all the black dots. All right well I just want to mock you a little bit for that.

All right. Student loans. And let me summarize everything that you hear out of Ukraine is propaganda. You know I just have to remind you because every once in a while people say how did Scott believe that propaganda? I don't believe it. I'm just saying it exists. You shouldn't believe anything out of Ukraine. It is entirely possible that the Russian troops are right at the point of total collapse but I wouldn't bet on it. It's possible.

So the White House found a new way to screw the country by extending the student loan repayment until June 2023. And that's an interesting time because doesn't that mean that it would expire before the election? Is that when they wanted it to expire because then it looks like the Democrats picked something that would expire? I think they want to make it look like it's a Republican's fault I suppose. I could spin it that way but anyway it's a as weasel plans go it's a pretty weaselly plan.

The fact that they're selling to their idiot base that they're actually going to be able to get away with this loan repayment stuff it's just amazing to me.

All right I want to give you my favorite story of the day. You know as you know I have a mascot. Does everybody know who my mascot is? I want to make sure that I've got the word around. You is Keith Olbermann.

Now the way this works is that a mascot is somebody who starts as just a critic but if they're really really good at it or really energetic and really entertaining then they rise to the level of mascot. So in my life Keith Olbermann has been criticizing me for 20 years and it's all crazy and funny. So like once I realized he was my mascot then I look forward to every time I hear from him. So it just sort of turns it into a positive.

But Tim Poole got himself a mascot and maybe a better one than mine. I mean I thought Olbermann would be hard to top but Tim Poole he got himself a good mascot. I'm going to play it for you.

Some little kids like that. Go get them boys. Guys go get them. Please please vote for our molesters and our pedophiles. Republicans say Republicans you're guilty. Okay and I'll tell you right now the number one reason they constantly talk about pedophilia is because it's going through their heads non-stop. They're thinking about kids I guarantee it. The reason Tim Poole wears a beanie is because he's trying to contain the pedophilia that's in his head. That's what he's always talking about it. He's seeing it everywhere. Why? Because he's projecting. And the right way he's like yes I love how they molest the little kids like that. Go get them boys. Guys go get em. Please please. Foreign. Republicans say Republicans you're guilty. Okay and I'll tell you right now the number one reason they constantly talk about pedophilia is because it's going through their heads non-stop. They're thinking about kids I guarantee it.

So Tim Poole retweets it. You know you've done a bad job as a critic when the target of your criticism retweets it. And the first part of the retweet is LOL. I said Tim Poole says LOL. OMG this is amazing. It's weird because I'm not a Catholic conservative or Republican. Like they can't understand that independents oppose them too. Anyone who isn't in the cult is Republican. And he says Jack I love you buddy which is perfect.

So if you want a lesson how to handle your craziest people, read with them and just give them an LOL retweet and let people decide for themselves. So that was about as perfect as it could be.

And my other favorite story. Elon Musk finds a closet full of stay woke shirts at Twitter. Is the entire closet full of secret closet of hashtag woke. That's for sure. Here we are at the most thing that Elizabeth. So everything that you imagined about Twitter is apparently true. Like every everything you imagined that could be maybe you know not quite ideal it was all true.

Now may I add my own suggestions? I think Elon
