Two homosexual college snobs stay broke. What a trash bin of a "podcast"

As much as I love this take down of this book I feel like the framing is off. There giggling often about how silly and pathetic these guys are and isn't this a silly thing. No this is a horror movie and these men are preying on women.

I have listened to several of these now and wow, I love it here!

if it worked like magnets shouldn't I be thinking about the opposite of what I want to attract though?

I love A League of Our Own ♥

He bought 400,000 copies of his own book😂😂😂 to make the best seller list😮

This book is the basis for HIMYM. Now it all makes sense. (By the way, I still like the series as a whole, but the more I watch it, the more I realize Ted, the protagonist, is a hypocritical D-Bag. Barney was honest about his dishonesty; Ted was the one lying to himself.)

Ok but if someone made a compilation video of Michael's laughs that would make me so happy 💖😂🥲🥹

It's one step away from "arbeit macht frei"

"What would you do if you weren't afr-" "Leave the maze." "Not that."

its the fact that they just refuse to pay people...

we were just asked to read this horrible book at this time :D

The one thing this book successfully argues is that working at your job will never provide abstract value to your life. But they think that the reader will reach the conclusion that...blind obedience to your job is good?

I used to work at a textbook publisher. I took a job in the mailroom to get my foot in the door, and found out that, despite the fact that I had an english degree (one of the only requirements for an editorial assistant job), they wouldn't hire me out of the mailroom, because, "Working in the mailroom makes it seem like you're not serious." I said that I needed health insurance, and I was showing loyalty to the company. Crickets. Then they made us read WMmC, and got mad at me because I knew how to interpret the book's propaganda. Nothing has radicalized me more than working and having bosses.

It's literally pro middle management, anti worker propaganda.

This is the same message as the movie You've Got Mail, which I always HATED for this particular reason. At least the mice don't end up sleeping with the psycho scientists like the little library owner who ended up with the mega bookstore dude who put her out of work in the first place

This podcast was recommended by Big Joel in one of his videos and I am IN LOVE! 🤩 You are both so fun to listen to and everything is so well researched. 😁

"The Secret" is NOT worth keeping...

Your boss: "We have a change in policy. 10% of you will be fed into a wood-chipper for our CEO's amusement. Here's a book to help you deal with change." Worker: "Why are you doing this to us?" Boss: "That worker doesn't understand personal responsibility. Toss him into the wood chipper first!"

We wonder why such idiotic books become bestsellers. We fail to appreciate the sheer volume of nonsensical "self-help" or "business" books that have been published in the past 50 years. The books that make it onto this podcast are the outliers.

In spite of my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage. ( mouse in a maze)

Ok Reddit. What did you bring me to. First 10 seconds. I’m fucking stoked. I’m excited for the listen

I've read this book and liked the message. (I'm 5 minutes in, so my mind isn't changed yet) That being said, this book is the most anti-corporate book I can imagine. Why would any company force its employees to read it when the core message is when your job or life becomes stale, put your running shoes on and GO! To me, that is one more reason why corporate America is so dumb.

I'm wondering if Sam has ever talked at length about the general profile of the mass shooters in the US, and how to screen for possible future attackers and what to do to stop them. It seems like any discussion about this issue falls between a sarcastic "oh of course, you want to blame white men for everything!" and "lol pathetic incels lashing out at innocent civilians", sometimes from the same people. I get the feeling of being unjustly blamed when someone points out that some problem seems to be mostly the xx group's problem, and you happen to be a part of xx group, but there is a permission to do this only one way (like in this example, to do it to muslims in the western world, and to westerners in the muslim world), and people don't want to see the double standard. If someone pretends to be a member of the "intellectual dark web", i would expect they don't shy away from difficult conversations even if they risk pissing off majority of their audience. But this whole skeptic circle jerk is more interested in dunking on whoever they don't agree with then actual skepticism about all their core beliefs.

Hypppedd, welcome back!!

Good Lord i know capitalism is a rat race but they LITERALLY wrote a business metaphor about mice and didn't think it was too bleak

And I thought the english revolution was complicated!

Many of us whose childhoods were blighted by religion found expressions of atheism ("new" or otherwise) to be refreshing, and takedowns of religion to be actually important and interesting. Many of us still feel that way, even if folks like Harris and Dawkins have turned out to be racist, sexist douchebags.

What methodolgy was used on the RCTs for Housing First? Like, who the hell gets allocated to the control group, and how? Must have been full of ethical issues, surely??

Damn...first episode for me....really good stuff guys..I felt the same for "The Almanack of Naval Ravikant"..the author is shagging off to his earlier life and success throughout the book.. maybe you can do this book in your next podcast..

Advice direct from Troy McLure, 'get confident, stupid!'

Thank you so much for uploading! Can you upload their other podcasts? 9 to 5 and Maintenance Phase?

Mikes thesis is eerily close to marxs. From his book the 16th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte “men make their choices, but they do not make them as they please”

I miss the fadeout fade back in/out at the end. Not enough to seek counciling, but I miss it.

Just as a little a little addendum; there was a, 'Third Battle of Newbury', I myself, and many others served on the vanquished side, Google it, it'll surprise you! You probably think me mad, I am not (most of the time). 😇

Mars! :D

It appears the bad guys are winning.

Thank you so much for uploading!

I have listened to 25 of your episodes so far; I'm loving your podcast. (From an adoring Welsh Revolutionary :) )

Great podcast! Glad that Amy is finally called out for her BS. I have always joked that she has more in common with Christian fundamentalist cultists than Chinese/Asian parents in general.

I am a terrible manifester. Is there something secret about The Secret? I missed something. I did The Abundance Book, too; nothing.

There was a 'let women speak' rally in Melbourne, Australia, and a bunch of Nazis rocked up, marched around, and just generally behaved like you'd expect Nazis to behave. The media keep referring to them as 'gatecrashers'... No.... They are there because they support the anti-trans ideology, ugh!

Yay, new batch! Thank you!

You know who does that 'he's always walking into the room you are in'? My cat 😆

I believe it have truth to it but its nothing people should make as a rule to their relationship

Why do I get the feeling that thjs time period would make a hilarious black, slap-stick, British comedy?

What a brie-lliant metaphore. Do the mice have 2 pair of shoes for their front and back legs? One book you guys might hate is 5 Am Club by Robin Sharma. It is my favourite but at the same time it is so bad even conservatives and self improvement people hated it. It is definitely quite the roller coaster. The cast ends up getting mugged in Brazil for being idiots.

I have recently attended 3 open evenings for secondary schools (UK resident) as my daughter is due to start September 2025. Of the three schools we have attended, two had presentations by headmasters, referencing Haidts' new book. That's 66.67% of our sample. I plan to take this data in lots of weird and wonderful directions, making lots of spurious claims and presenting them as well evidenced theories. There will be a book, of course. There's always a book.
