Fair warning: This entire hideously long video is mostly about Dude-bro advice and 'life hacks'! I promise I won't be miffed it you skip it!
After your penguin classics tour can we go through your self-help shelf Steve? 😂
It's probably just his shelves of regency romances.
Hee - you people know me too well ...
And here I was stupidly thinking that the old saw "A page a day is a book a year" applied to writers, not readers.
As a member of the demographic you refer to, I'm sensitive to older men lending "advice". Some of Peterson's more practical advice helped me (E.g. Embrace taking responsibility), despite the obviousness of this advice ha. I do consider you, Steve, as someone I can trust to give no-nonsense advice without any hidden motivation on your part. I get the impression you enjoying helping young people so I'm hoping you decide to make more videos like this.
Good comment! Well judged. 🙂
It's been my deep honor to be a guide and advice-giver for exactly the demographic of 20-something young men I mention so often in this video, which is probably a big part of why it irritates me so much to see grifters and con men diving in to monetize what I consider to be a real problem. But I don't see how I could make many more videos like this - I mean, what form would they take? Just skewering one obvious fraud after another? Maybe I really should writer my own book on the subject!
@@saintdonoghue Maybe something like a blog post: "Steve Donoghue's Top 10 Anti-Chaos Hacks - Grifters Hate Him"
You seem very astute for a 28 year old Steve? 😉
I know! Amazing, isn't it?
“Brotivational speaking” made me cackle .
I have the great gift of the universe bestowing humility to me on a regular basis without my needing to actively practice it... 😅
Back in the 70's my dad, a long time cigarette smoker went to his primary doctor. He filled out the medical history form and indicated he smoked 2-3 packed a day. The doctor told him to stop. After the appointment my dad walked out of the clinic and the doctor was smoking outside in clinic's picnic area. Go figure? "Do as I say, not as I do"😂
On a more serious note, thank you for exposing the self-help, motivation side of UA-cam. There are women who make similar videos and give the same tips. But often, the only thing they've ever done is make a successful UA-cam channel. They have made a living off of telling people how to live their lives. Their business is telling others how to run theirs.
1) Don’t burn any bridges. 2) It’s a small world. 3) Don't be a big shot. My offering.if in business and elsewhere too. And my joke advice: never leave broccoli water in pan overnight.
I am just a minute or so in and you're saying things no one I've ever heard say, which I've been saying for years. Man, Steve, it's so great to watch your videos.
"The only thing meat has going for it is its taste"
That makes no sense since meat is the most nutritious food.
As a young 28-year old yourself, how have you resisted dude bro culture?
Clean living!
A video like this makes me wish we could take a five minute walk to the coffee shop and multitask while hanging out. Online booktube means that you are one of my five 😀
Heee - yer a bit of a troublemaker, ain'tcha?
I love that you hit these shills and total un-self-aware channels...1 pg a day! *facepalm*
I've seen you drinking wine so stop nagging about my coffee:)))))
OMG his bookshelves...
This is my little book-room! One pre-WWI bed on the floor, a small pile of clothes ... and beloved books!
Steve Donoghue oh no I meant Gabe’s, he literally had one book per shelf behind him during the video you were reacting to.
Our society tells us we are dumb to work and the that smart ones find ways to cheat the system. Either that or that it's noble to sacrifice all your free time and energy to work and anyone who wants more is ungrateful.
Hey Steve, completely unrelated but is there a single history book of 18th century england that you would recommend for someone who wanted to better understand the satire of the famous works and authors of that time? Like key to a Roman a Clef or something?
Great video. By 'nobody cares' he probably means the minimalist idea that, for example, nobody cares what you wear so simplify your wardrobe will save time in the morning staring at endless choices and save money and the environment, etc.
Yes, you're certainly right - he was probably thinking along those lines. You see that often in minimalist videos - people claiming to have only one set of clothes, etc. They're lying (in order to harvest money), but their point is right: a neat, presentable public appearance absolutely does not require that you own 50 shirts and 35 pairs of shoes!
I just watched Alpha M's latest video and I wanted to stab my ear canals with an olive fork. Why is he yelling and and zooming himself into the camera lens over and over? Do people actually take these guys seriously and listen to their advice? Yikes.
Lovely video, Steve! What do you make of the channel “cosmicskeptic”? Does it associate with the bro-universe?
Hah! Oh, no - Alex is the real thing! I sometimes find him a bit pompous, but then, if I achieved overnight great wealth at age 20, I'd probably be a bit pompous too. But no, I doubt the bro-universe would have the first idea what to make of him.
Ah the good life! A good final 10 tips.
Hey!
Grifting can be hard work. At least for a while.
The algorithms haven't shown me dude-bro sites or not that I had noticed though since I went plant-based whole food for my health but with a side-order of ethics - I have been getting a lot of carnivore diet videos which I don't watch - plus keto diets which all seem to add eggs and lard in things. Plus Joe Rogan has appeared - I think he is a dude-bro or watched by dude-bros but not being in the cultural milieu I am not sure.
Carnivore diets! Hah! I've seen some of them! Horrific stuff, INTENDED to be horrific. Imagine shaping your entire eating routine in order to give the maximum amount of offense to people you don't know & will never meet.
Joe Rogan makes The Dude from "The Big Lebowski" look like a Parisian salon sophosticate.
@@saintdonoghue Meat-only diets were not invented to give offence to Vegans. This faddy diet has quite a long history. Dr. Atkins popularised it is 70-80s. It sort of does work.
So the point of this video is that it’s 90’s kid’s fault they had shitty parents? and that grifters give good advice sometimes of you ignore the obvious superficial flaws?
Conflicted. Overall I liked the video, and enjoy your takes on the Internet culture. But I object to Peterson being called a fraud. He has many 'fans' among well educated though mainly politically Conservative and Centrists scholars and academics and other note worthies. Disagreeing with him is one thing, calling him a fraud is objectionable. Ex-BookTuber Neil Griffiths is* a fan.
He's a total fraud.
@@Gary_M He self-evidently and clearly isn't. But there isn't much point arguing about it.
Amin The Reader , he’s literally incapacitated in a Russian rehab at the moment for a drug addiction he obtained while making millions off giving life advice to young men. How is that not a fraud???
You're the clown that trashed Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea", a nobel prize winning novel? You trashed David Foster Wallace? And you have the audacity to crumb on some kids who are blogging advice? What's wrong with you?
