Decoding the psychology of business.
Why Hollywood hates entrepreneurs
There are two types of shows that have been all the rage in recent years.
Shows about serial killers - and shows about corrupt entrepreneurs.
It’s not hard to understand the appeal of serial killers, and that’s been analyzed on TH-cam already.
But why does Hollywood love telling stories about detestable entrepreneurs so much?
What’s strange is that Hollywood isn’t exactly some kind of hippie artist cooperative. And yet, they keep telling us stories where entrepreneurs, the rich, and conglomerates are always the villains. It’s a bit odd, isn’t it?
Why is it so hard to find an example of a good entrepreneur in movies?

The fascinating psychology of YouTube’s Gold Digger gurus

In a dark corner of TH-cam, some women have rather… peculiar concerns. They go by the names Liz, Shera, or Margarita, they rack up millions of views, and they teach women… how to get as much money as possible from the men they date. The internet’s first reaction is to call them “gold diggers” to discredit their approach. But that’s pointless because they proudly define themselves as “gold digge...

The weird psychology of Spotify Wrapped

10 years ago, everyone wanted to do "viral marketing". But after a while, it became clear that it was basically impossible to manufacture virality on demand.

Every year, they do the same campaign, and every year, they get tens of millions of shares. #SpotifyWrapped trends on Twitter and people...

whats wrong with you bro with your trash sounds?
Unnecessary explanation, just watch the scene
But Michael isn't really dishonest here. He's just offering a higher price for what he sees as a good deal. He isn't deceiving anyone or being dishonest. At worst you can say he's taking advantage of someone else not having enough money on their person. But that's not dishonesty. Also, many other scams, like romance scams or refund scams also require zero dishonesty on the scam victims part and work perfectly on honest people.
he's a fraud and bullshitter. he randomly combines interesting subjects though.
Nice
Typical globalist
Me too! I see that he conveyed the reader to believe that Jew is the best people with hidden writing technic.
Because he's clergy at heart, not a businessman. He's not there to sell, he's there to appeal hoping that you'd realize and shift. Conscious, unconscious, it's powerful feeling that influences your communication style. It's not so easy to put down what is right and simply do what works, especially so for people of this archetype.
so change your interests for the better!
Yuval is preaching there is no value in human beings story He is selling nihlism And totalitarianism F this guy
I started reading , i'm half way throught and i just read a feminist , anti human , anti man, woke chapter that left me with a bad taste. It really feels like he's using his competence about history to push his woke mind set. That for me is the worst kind of scholar , and dangerous for young, impresionable minds to read .. I'll continue reading , but i feels that i wont be able to take him seriously from now on.
I am glad watching this before i read the whole book ❤
He doesn't have a PhD from Harvard but from Oxford. 1:53
Noa Harari is a successful idiot that sells his books to millions of idiots.In a world of wholly and mentally healthy people this guy would be recognized as a dangerous fraud
I'm reading the book and Harari never says that his ideas are new or revolutionary. ////////////// "Virus" = clickbait. Pathethic.
What’s pathetic is this book made by a fraud
yeah musk had me fooled up till recently, I thought people just hated the dude then I learned its a con game being played on all of us.
Damn thats how i fall for scams
Bro how you know so much about marketing and your ideas are different and question what you know
I swear if jimmy and marco living in today world they might pulled the greatest crypto rug pull of all time. Its so smooth that legally nobody can sue them with their wordplay and vast knowledge of almost anything they wanted the victim to believe. Dang, what a crazy dynamic duo 😅
Always question everything and everyone and come to your own conclusion. I'm currently a quarter way through the book.
He lives With his husband?
Great video!
Dude I always wait for your videos. Thank you for showing us how stupid we are in such a smart way 👌
Looks like a variation on the Fiddle Game scam. Guy pawns his most precious possession, a cheap old fiddle, for a little money just to get back on his feet. Second guy comes in, finds the fiddle, and offers to buy it for way more than it's worth. Gushes how it's a rare Stradivarius or more obscure make, but the pawn shop owner can't lift the 30 day hold. First guy comes back to buy his violin because he's back on his feet. Shop owner offers to buy it from him for a lot of money. First guy is reluctant but eventually caves. Leave shop, grab another cheap violin, rinse and repeat.
The author is a propaganda ass pipe
And then you add the last part total complete embarrassment and humiliation. When he knows he got scammed he will never call the cops or go back to the bar again because of it and the money wasn't large enough of where he feels he needs to
This works perfectly 2003, but in 2024 someone googles the situation and immediately sees a scam game over.
Google: allow me to introduce some real expertise
I’m not getting why you call Jimmy and Marco “rednecks,” though?
Although a lot of scams work from the willingness to cheat of the mark, honest people can become victims of scams. I know of some people who were contacted by email by someone claiming to be someone else who needed them to get gift cards (to be paid back to them later) because of some emergency(!). Then they give the numbers on the cards to the scammer. You can guess the rest. Here they played on a desire to help others rather than on dishonest tendencies.
Bc these movies are for the masses, who arent exactly "rich".
The issue with ads is that they are not directly tied to the sale of the product or service. Unlike prices, which act as a natural barrier to entry by requiring consumers to compensate producers for the cost of production, ads introduce no such barrier. Prices create equilibrium by balancing supply and demand, signaling the true cost of a product or service to the consumer. In contrast, with an ad-based model, the producer is compensated by the advertiser, not the consumer. This removes any cost signal for the consumer, effectively encouraging unlimited consumption. At scale, this dynamic leads to unsustainable demand, as the producer cannot meet the consumers’ needs without a mechanism to regulate or limit usage. The result is potential shortages and strain on the producer’s resources.
The "good entrepreneur movie" you described is Joy (2015). It didn't get great reviews, but I thought it was pretty decent.
What about BATMAN🦇?? Bruce Wayne is a billionaire?? Man this video is gold for history tellers, keep it up!!!!
TBH I like silicon valley. It very precise about human nature and highly competitive hardworking people with such great dialogue from antagonists like "I don't know about you people, but I don't want to live in a world where someone else makes the world a better place better than we do." the struggle and ruthlessness is so real and they able to make it funny is 10/10 work
You have missed Silicone Valley.
Joy with Jennifer Lawrance is a good movie with engrepreneur with good faith
About why the suits at Hollywood might love this trope (same as the normies who may have more reason): Old Money hates New Money.
wooooww mec je te regarder ya super longtemps et jai mtn mon diplome en marketing, je vais commencer a chercher du travail soon, tu as fait partie de mon interet envers le marketing. J'espere que cette chaine anglaise ce porte bien!
You've really captured the video essay slop style of channels like Moon or James Jani where you say a lot without actually saying anything. Good job?
He communicates interesting ideas and has many examples to support his thesis, but I agree the video was much longer and more repetitive than it needed to be. I think he has a lot of potential as a video essayist though, the production quality and editing are both great
Batman, Ironman, pretty woman and I know there's many more examples of movies that deny your claim
Batman and Ironman are like 70 year old comic book characters. Pretty woman is like a 30 year old movie. He describing a modern concept.
@kangaroomax8198 if you argue about recent movies, you cannot dismiss Batman and Ironman, there's a Batman movie of 2 years ago. More recent titles: 50 shadows of Grey The theory of everything The great Gatsby Jerry and Marge go large
@ those movies are 100:1 when the rich are the villains.
Bruce comes from generational wealth, he is not an entrepreneur. Ironman’s company was founded by his father.
@@kangaroomax8198 kind of like real life
I just saw a movie, which breaks most of these conventions called “A most violent year.” It’s about a fuel supplier in New York in 1981 who tries to be q good man in a notoriously corrupt business. They still most of the other competitors as bad businessmen, but the conflict is whether the protagonist can resist all the forces pushing him in thst direction. It’s like a mob movie from a civilian’s point of view and I thought it was great.
Sounds cool, I'll check it out
Great concept, great video. Keep it snappy next time brother.
Thanks!
damn bro missed... this was sooo repetitive, it felt like a student trying to pad their essay for word count.
I like the added details and humor. To each their own.
It's really obvious from looking at your channel that you have a really strong understanding of what makes a good youtube video. If you don;t mind me asking, where did you learn this skill? Do you have any books (or other sources of information) that you would recommend.
Thanks! I don't know of any good book on YT specifically. But before being on YT I was a copywriter and there are lot of great copywriting books (the Boron Letters is my favorite ; see also John Carlton, Ogilvy, Robert Collier)... The next ingredient is just to break down what you see. I often watch a good video 2 or 3 times. First time to enjoy it. Second time to figure out why it works so well. Third time to figure out how I could apply similar techniques to my own videos. Some favorites with a similar format, but very different topics : Hbomberguy, Jacob Geller, Contrapoints, Lindsay Ellis, Patrick H Willems, Nerdwriter...
I just discovered your channel bro. You're gold, keep this up 🔥
thanks man, I appreciate that!
You are too good bro .. keep making videos. There are very few YT channels where I keep personalize notification on. And you are one of them....
Wow! Thanks a lot!
How was he a failed bussinesman though? He is a literal billionaire.
Some people claim that because of his bankruptcies. Although I agree that those people generally don't understand the different between a failed company and being personally bankrupt. At any rate, Trump was far from the most successful billionaire financially, while his image and political acumen are second to none.
SoPer: E|P
Dude, I know you are French. But you don't have to say that Trump is a "dangerous populist".....illegal immigration is fucking up Europe as well.
