Doing things for other people is more rewarding than anything else you can do.

We don’t just play one game with other people. We play a repeating game. You want to be the person that everyone wants to play alongside. How do you become that person? Be productive, straightforward, and generous.

You can make the claim that being selfish works. Well, we are a community of selves stretched across time. Instead of being selfish and only seeking what is best for the present “you”, act in an enlightened manner that would benefit that entire community of “you” across time. The idea is to continually be picked by other people to keep playing the subset of games that life consists of.

If you are chosen last, then something is wrong.

My podcast with Michael Malice will be live in 1 hour and 20 minutes on YouTube and all major podcast platforms.

We cover topics such as 4chan, humour, trolling, legacy media and more

“You’ve made mistakes, I’ve made mistakes, Everyone makes mistakes all the time. What steps have you taken once the mistake is made to make amends and also put yourself in the position where you won’t make the same mistake again.”

Michael Malice is a New York City-based author, podcaster, columnist, and media personality. He is a champion and proponent of free speech, anarchy, and many other non-mainstream ideals. He has spent a great deal of time examining the online culture of what he refers to as the “new right” in America and a self proclaimed authority on 4chan culture and influence in recent years.

"4chan is emblematic of a broader section of the internet, which was driven by irreverency, was driven by this idea of that which is presented to us with earnestness should not be taken at face value, that this earnestness is often used as a cudgel and as a mechanism of effecting a social control."

"There seems to be very little effort to maintain and foster that trusting relationship between the channels and the audience, and make amends when things have gone wrong."

Those who do not choose a direction are lost. It is far better to become something than to remain anything but become nothing.

This is despite all the genuine limitations and disappointments that becoming something entails. Everywhere, the cynic despairs, are bad decisions. But someone who has transcended that cynicism (or more accurately, replaced it with an even more profound doubt— that is, the doubt that doubt itself is an ultimately reliable guide) objects: the worst decision of all is none.

"When I’ve gone to the TV stations and been interviewed by a journalist, I’ll have a discussion with the journalist in the green room, and I’m talking to a person then. But as soon as the cameras go on, I’m not talking to a person anymore. I’m talking to someone who’s an adept mouthpiece for a massive corporate organization."

What you most want to find will be found where you least want to look.

There's this old story from King Arthur: King Arthur has these knights, and they're off to find the Holy Grail.

The Holy Grail is the most valuable object - That's what it means. So they're off to find the most valuable thing, but they don't know what it is, and they don't know where it is. But they know that there is such a thing. They don't know where to look... Well, there's a castle in the middle of the forest. So each night each one of them decides to start looking for the Holy Grail by entering the forest at the point that looks darkest to him.

What's the idea there? Well, imagine some things come easy to you and that you're happy about pursuing, you found those things and followed them, and you've mastered them. You know all that. But then there are other places you don't want to go to, you haven't been yet, and you haven't mastered them. They have this monstrous aspect to them.

There will be a lot of things in your life that you're afraid of that you don't want to face. But if you want to put yourself together, that's precisely what you have to do.

It is frequently the case that what you want to find is to be found where you least want to look.
