United States
Приєднався 30 тра 2024
The podcast that doesn't give a f*ck. Bestselling author Mark Manson discusses some of life's counterintuitive insights, interviews some of the world's smartest people, and manages to laugh his ass of while doing it.
How TikTok Ruined Politics (And Your Sex Life)
How many f*cks should we give about politics? What’s driving the widening ideological gap between young men and women? And is the world truly and utterly f*cked beyond all recognition?
In this episode, we talk politics without really talking politics. We cover how to stay up-to-date on current events without going insane, what history can teach us about the present, the real downside to TikTok’s invasion of-well, everything-and why there is still reason to hold out hope, even when it seems like the world is going straight to hell.

Originally published on March 27, 2024. Social media messes with our expectations because it convinces us that we should be doing everything, everywhere, all at once. But the reality is that we should focus on doing one or two things extremely well, in one place, consistently over a long period of time. Today on the pod, I talk to Noah Kagan about the type of consistency and habits that lead to...

Wikipedia, unfortunately, has long become another political platform for the biased editors. There is always "that guy", if you know what I mean.
The thing i loved about this podcast is that even though you talked about a lot of sensetive political things with risky answers , you still articulted it in such a way that everyone is very civil in the comments.
I have question : youtube kind of works the same way as tiktok as in it suggests you videos based on your previous watches, then y is it not as polarizing/radicalizing as tiktok? Is it because youtube has mostly long form content which is higher in quality and more nuanced?
I loved this conversation. Drew was referencing some numbers. Can yall provide some research links to your sources? I'd love to find out more about any social science or other research in this area.
I wish people cared more about Congress. An administration can't do much if Congress is controlled by the opposing party.
True...🧡
I think just because genocides happened in history it doesn't mean we shouldn't care about the ones that are happening now. There's also a difference between conflicts happening within countries between its own people and their government VS conflicts that are happening somewhere else in the world and backed by your government. But I agree that as an individual there's very little we can do about it. And that people may be spending too much energy on things like that when their own neighbours are in deep shit.
Well, if you focused more on your local problems, it will make your country better, which in turn will make ur government better so that they don't do bad things .
Dude did you just said that I'm overindexing on personality? As Ukrainian I have to say goodbye Mark and unsubscribe. Good luck
I am one of your readers. I really like your ideas! However, I feel that these podcasts have recently become thinner in information and are starting to resemble morning shows, which you turn on just to wake up your brain. I hope to see more depth in the future
Interesting! I think maybe at the end of the day things will always change, and we have to change along with it. We live in interesting times.
I remember when it was considered bad manners to talk about how much money you made and who you voted for. It now makes total sense to me.
I can not contain my lack of interest: 1. Politics 2. Olympics 3. 29-year old influencers “glowing up” and becoming the main character of their own lives.
Political vitriol was negatively affecting my mental health. New standard: does it *DIRECTLY* pertain to my life, my situation and immediate surroundings? Then cautiously observe. With that being said, I live in the bluest state in the US. My opinion makes no difference here. I'm a 67-year-old, mostly retired female, and occasionally scared shitless about my future. I have to be more like those chicks interviewed on the boardwalk in Venice. They know nothing and are all the better for it.
When you mention books in the podcast would you list their titles and authors in the description please? I would find that so helpful. 😊
Hey, maybe this is something you've discussed in the past and I know have touched on throughout episodes, but I'd love to learn more about interpersonal effectiveness. Human interaction is a fundamental and important part of life. And interacting with difficult people or being that difficult person (if realizing it or not) is inevitable. Thanks!
Feels weird that Mark and Drew are sitting in different chairs
Wouldn't following history in order to influence how we feel about the current/future scenarios be, technically, illogical? For example, sure, we all expect and act as if the sun will rise tomorrow because it has for all of human history, but the fact that it has for thousands of years + isn't actually evidence that the sun will, in fact, rise tomorrow, right? Likewise, if we followed history alone, would that lead to progress or just stagnation? What about slavery, which throughout human history has "always" occurred...until we decided that our history is not the way we wanted to continue in the future? Same applies to women voting. Women had never had to the right to vote for as long as the idea of a democracy has been around, but collectively, we decided that just because this idea has always been, doesn't mean it must be moving forward. If we simply followed what we have always done (i.e. history), what of slavery and women's right to vote (and countless other examples)? I definitely agree that watching "current news" isn't a good place for information, because of the narratives and/or agendas being pushed through today's media "sources." However, isn't history "written by the victors?" How is that not also a schewed view of actual events? I guess, between the two, i'd much rather we be informed more by history than by today's media, but I started thinking about whether or not following history would be properly logical or not, and so, here we are (or here I am, at least, haha)...
Well, through history, you learn more about the pattern of human nature and how societies work, that way we can choose to avoid the mistakes our ancestors made, basically, its self awareness for society, like how talking about past traumas in a therapy liberates u from those taumas.
Really appreciate the no bullshit talk on our current media and political landscape. I know I'm a little more plugged in than I probably should be but I also realize that none of the political propaganda that's happening on either side during election years are worth getting bent out of shape over. I'll cast my ballot on election day and move on.
I would argue that Trump personally (and not his overall party line) caused an astounding amount of death and grief by handling CoVid in the worst way possible. And I would argue that as a European I am concerned that Trump personally will do everything to give Putin a win in Ukraine which will lead to so much more trouble with Putin here in Europe, e.g. by attacking the baltics and constant provocations at the border of Poland, a country which is one our by car from where I live (Berlin). Ergo I have a high interest in the Republican party freeing itself from the MAGA cult and the reinventing itself as our continuous ally.
Any other gays here
Bro, just fokin thank you! You helped me so much!!!! I literally survived existential crisis because of you! Wish you the best on you way! ❤️💙
when you say nobody is paying attention, you are talking about what the News is covering and/or social media not what politicians and governments are actually DOING. We have federal agencies curing cancer; there are state governments working to have companies and jobs coming into their state; there are city governments making sure that crime goes down. Problem is that the dull everyday upkeep is 'boring' - someone has to do the dishes!
If USA did not take an interest in events 5k miles away and Putin took over Europe then at some point in the future that would not be good for you !
As always, really learnt something on this weeks podcast, I have question though as something kept popping up that I would very much appreciate you commenting on at some point, not sure if this is the right place to add this… so do you think some of the topics you talked about particularly related politics and to the shift in gender ideology, particularly in the US, is that there is only 2 party politics?? How much do you think the fact there is only a choice between 2 parties plays into the shifts in society? Historically do you see a different outcome where there is more than 2 parties impacting on the politics, changing demographics / ideologies?? Would be interested to hear your thoughts.
I‘m a bit confused why Mark says we live in the best time, when 1) economical inequality is huge (and it was better before), 2) military spending and therefore risks are all time high. 3) Not to mention the climate change.
There's nothing wrong with economical inequality. If everybody's poor, economical equality is high, but I doubt you'd like to live in such a society.
@@ferkokovac317 I disagree that there is nothing wrong with inequality. Not being able to afford a house, healthcare, education and decent living so that rich can be extremely rich is not acceptable. I’m also not so sure there is only poor and rich or everyone poor.
@@kolyakravchenko7086 Please give sources when stating something, Mark did it by stating the book by Steven Pinker
I will not do that as i don’t think it’s necessary in this context. „There is drastic improvement happening in all sectors of society“ says Mark. Do I really need to reference anything to disagree with this, when it’s clearly not the case?
@@philvandamusic also, Mark doesn’t give any specific data. It the same way I’m referencing the „internet“🤓

TikTok ruined my sex life by convincing me wife she’s a man
I am living in South Korea. I usually do not leave a comment, but I need to let you know the fact. Do you want to know why males hate females more and more as time goes by, and why males are becoming more conservative here in Korea? The polarization is caused by the politicians. They are using the polarization to get votes here. Haha😩
It's soo truee even I myself I am 21 I don't wanna get marry I am girl, my relatives cousins they too wanna be left alone, we all have degree, don't need to spoilt our live with married earn money and spend enjoy lifee ❤We have seen many2 elder people marry and spoil their life so better be alone
thank you, nice talk!
Jurassic Park got it right: God creates dinosaurs, God destroys dinosaurs, God creates man, man destroys god....men create algorithms, algorithms sterilize men, women inherit the earth.
If the gym attendance study only failed because they did not list exorcism as one of the interventions
This is so interesting and important. So tired of all the red pill guys
I never ran into an adult who was using TikTok 🤷♂️
So all I heard these two men discuss is societal implications of the gap and how educated high earning women do not want to settle down. How about lack of emotional intelligence or maturity in men? They had same amount to time to develop themselves in this area as us women in education and financial freedom. What about men keeping up with changing gender roles?
Where is the full podcast
it’d be nice if you guys could provide citations
Hi Mark! Yeah… don’t tell your partner that TikTok sucks because its content is nothing but exactly what you’ve been obsessing over.😂
Their laughter is life giving ❤❤❤
lol the conservatives are gonna use this argument as their prediction that the world is just getting gayer and it’s destroying the family unit. Too sensational. What’s behind that data? Who created it? Who verified or peer reviewed it? Is this just two more white rich men saying “there is data” when they were on Reddit? Lolololol
Answer is yes
A big problem is that many humans are mimicking technology, just as much as AI is mimicking humanity in its parallel universe. And so human interaction has gotten a whole lot less humane. Not ideal for genuine connection in any manner
Is it just me or I find TikTok extremely boring? Or it's perhaps that I get bored watching cringe?
Tiktok is great if you watch educational content from reliable source. It tends to got into the main topic faster than youtube.
The quality of my relationships improved once I quit social media altogether. Go outside and talk to people. It's awesome.
