0:00.0 | Alright, next book of the day, you can see I'm on a little kick with these little books that have a lot of knowledge for you. |
0:07.0 | We're going to talk about one of the people with the most insight on how you can live an amazing life. |
0:14.0 | The much maligned yet controversial yet fascinating philosopher of all time. |
0:22.0 | Frederick Nietzsche. So, this little book here, if you want to know about Nietzsche, is the best book I've ever seen. |
0:34.0 | Now, man alone with himself, every superior being will instinctively aspire after a secret citadel where he is set free from the crowd, the many, the majority. |
0:51.0 | One thing I might not have met you in person, but I can bet that you don't want to be average. |
0:58.0 | And that's what I was in England when I bought this book at Waterstones, their version of the American Barnes and Noble. |
1:05.0 | And this book, that little, you know, I like Nietzsche, but this fascinated me every superior human being. |
1:13.0 | I'm assuming if you're listening to this, you see yourself as a superior human being. And you aspire to be set free from the crowd. |
1:20.0 | So, what did he say? What do we have to do to be set free from the crowd? |
1:25.0 | To not just be another blip on the seven billion people that are right here on this planet right now, more than seven billion. |
1:34.0 | What do you have to do? You know, people like to make it simple, or they like to make it hard. |
1:40.0 | So let's, here with one of the great minds had to say, and it's amazing what the first line here is. |
1:47.0 | Man alone with himself, enemies of truth. Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies. |
1:59.0 | So, I knew a kid, one of my brothers, using an example, when he was a little kid, two or three years old, I used to say, he's real name is Jacob. |
2:16.0 | I was like, Jacob, what's your name? And he would say, bibit. And I was like, no, your name is Jacob. |
2:26.0 | But he was a person of strong convictions, even at two years old. Now, he's obviously way different now, but this is just him at two. |
2:35.0 | Strong convictions. And I would say, and it was funny, my parents would have house parties, you know, people over and he would walk around and he was pretty mature and very smart for his age. |
2:45.0 | People would come up to him and say, what's your name? And he would say, bibit. And I'm here for a word. He would say it's so forcefully. |
2:53.0 | It was so much conviction that people literally thought our parents had named him bibit. So, they'd come up to my mom and be like, did you name, you know, is that your son? I met your son, bibit. |
3:06.0 | And we're like, no, no, no, you know, his real name is Jacob. So, one day I took Jacob aside and I said to Jacob, I said, Jacob. |
3:13.0 | Can you say J and he would go J and I'd say, can you say, cub and he'd say, cub. So I knew because I first thought maybe I had a speech impediment, but I heard him say J and cub and I'd say, well, then can you say Jacob real fast? |
