| 0:00.0 | If you want to understand how the world really works, there is a handful of elements that you need to master. |
| 0:06.5 | Money, relationships, career, for instance, those three are very important and all of them are |
| 0:12.1 | predicated on human psychology, yes, even money. That's why joining me today is the brilliant mind |
| 0:18.2 | behind the 48 laws of power, a master class on the impulses that govern the human psyche. |
| 0:24.6 | Now, a lot of people get weird about Robert |
| 0:27.2 | because he's not afraid to look at the darker elements of the human mind, |
| 0:30.3 | but I think understanding the dark side is critical. |
| 0:33.9 | So enjoy part one with Robert Green. |
| 0:38.4 | Netflix has become shorthand for, you know, just sort of a meme life of a guy sitting in a dark room smoking weed, red eyes, not going to bed, almost sort of staying up out of spite to like, you know, fuck you to my boss who I guess controls my day. And so by me |
| 0:55.1 | staying up late, I'm controlling my time. But I have a feeling that what's going on is people |
| 1:03.7 | aren't in control of their emotions. So they're not framing this hard time that they are |
| 1:08.5 | legitimately going through. They're not framing it in a way that will allow them to act productively. |
| 1:13.0 | So they then feel a way they don't want to feel. |
| 1:15.9 | They don't see an outlet through behavior to fix it. |
| 1:18.2 | So they start consuming, consuming, consuming, alcohol, weed, porn, Netflix, whatever, |
| 1:25.6 | which all of those things can be fun in the right amounts at the right time. |
| 1:31.5 | Does that seem true to you? That this is ultimately them trying to numb out effectively. |
| 1:37.9 | Well, it's very difficult to be a human being. Let's start at a very basic level, going back to our earliest ancestry. |
| 1:47.0 | So unlike animals, we are not programmed. Now animals aren't completely programmed, that's the |
| 1:52.5 | myth, but they're much more programmed than we are by their instincts. So a leopard doesn't wake up |
| 1:57.7 | in the morning and go, what am I going to do today? Am I going to hunt this animal or that? No, I think it's kind of cloud. No, they don't. They don't have that choice. We do. And that's what makes us aimless. That's what makes us wake up in the morning and go, man, what am I going to do? So what that means, what that translates into is the human being has emptiness, has a hole inside of ourselves, a hole that we need to fill in some way, because we have incredibly active minds. |
| 2:26.4 | The brain, if you break it down, as I said earlier, we should be fetishizing it. |
