Sam is right. He's talking about money. You won't be rich by reading or even emulating Goggins. Because what Goggins and guys like Jocko are actually selling is books, courses, and themselves. They've turned themselves into guru's and businesses. There isn't any esoteric knowledge in there that will actually bring you to success. You're just making them successful.
@@grimdark2740 no its a brainlet superiority post that people trot out every time anyone with lifestyle advice monetizes anything, also a very convenient smug little way to avoid having to actually look into anything
@@destubae3271 True. You won't become financially successful with Sam's advice or Goggins or Jocko's. But you might if you turned yourself into a business by copying how they sell themselves as larger than life personalities to their audiences. Goggins isn't rich because he runs himself to death, he's rich because he turned that into a story to sell books and get paid to show up.
It's more about how the message is packaged and resonates with the audience. Like a father trying to give their kid a piece of wisdom, but the kid doesn't listen until they hear the same message from someone else. And suddenly they're able to internalize and act upon that wisdom.
I *wish* the books were all about waking up at 4am and taking a cold plunge. Instead they all go into long-winded stories about their life or other people’s lives. Hundreds of pages of basically the same stories. I’d rather hear the same advice repeated over and over and over again to hammer it in to peoples heads, rather than every self improvement book just being hundreds of pages of legitimate filler
he's reading chat and keeping up with donations, which is what keeps them coming in and makes the web show financially viable. i'm pretty sure these dudes who work on sam's team are making peanuts, though
@@bartholomewbogdanovic honestly they very likely have other jobs and they just come on because they’re good friends as well. Like it’s not like they don’t have a life outside of these livestreams or like they’re struggling to make a living, this seems more like a side gig for them.
"Bestseller" just means that book stores bought shit loads of stock. It doesn't take into account how many actually get bought by customers or get returned to the publisher unsold. That's why so many trash books are best sellers. It's a fake statistic. If a book store buys 10 million copies, sells one and returns the rest unsold...it sold 10 million copies and is a best seller. If you're a publisher that wants Prince Harry's book to be number 1, you just send out hundreds of thousands of copies and record it as copies sold.
@@JJEERRPP probably at one point or another. I know that's how it's worked since ar least the Oprah book club started and pretty much guaranteed a best seller
Same shit with video games. Horizon zero dawn most popular game ever!!! Meanwhile they count console bundles as a sale, and it's in EVERY console bundle. It's culturally irrelevant, no one talks or gives a shit about it but it's shoved in your face at every available opportunity.
I appreciate how Sam pointed out the 48 laws of power is dark triad garbage, that word gets thrown around a lot, but straight up it's crazy how that book and a ton of self help books on sociology are just "be an asshole and brazenly manipulate everyone you meet bro." It's like those sigma male videos but written by a 12 year old who took it seriously.
The author is a dew so it makes sense. The book is actually great at teaching you how to be one, so if you wanna be like that then you may as well learn from the very best.
Thanks goys, I was wondering why everyone loves that book and when I listened to the audiobook it was easily forgotten and sounded against the grain, immoral. There's a lot of easy, destructive decisions I could make to profit myself, but no I don't want to poison rivers to save 0.05% on costs while killing locals, that's how that crap reads to me. That's for the Jews and the psychopaths. Jews are the synagogue of Satan, that's what Jesus Christ Himself calls them in Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 only trust the King James Bible in English, the rest are satanic corruptions, would you believe how often the Jews have their hands in tampering with the scriptures? Don't get annotated Bibles because those are particularly bad, that's literally the reason why so many goomba Christians are pro Zionist, the footnotes in their Bibles lie and tell them to be, they didn't even check who make the footnotes and who was funding them. Same with dogshit Bible colleges, the same thing more Jew money brainwashing people. When you're free from all that you'd be surprised how anti Zionist God is, those people were cursed by Jesus Christ and He calls them out so many times in the New Testament. Well, if you are interested there's an excellent documentary on this information called Marching to Zion by Framing the World. There's a short companion documentary to it and I can't say the name because it's _autobahned._ More importantly than that, I write this because I care. Look: As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans:3:10,23 King James Version Everyone is a sinner, one sin is enough to send you to hell, however God loves us and provides the only way to Heaven: through Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ paid the full price for your sins past, present and future through His sacrifice and resurrection. He offers the free gift of eternal life to anyone who puts their trust in him to save them, not in their own good deeds which can NEVER save them. I have a clear gospel presentation on my channel by a trustworthy pastor. Watch it, understand the gospel and believe it. Get saved today, it lasts for eternity. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 1 John:5:13 King James Version
Needing to go back many decades for the real info is 100% true, if you want to learn to draw, to this day some of the best books are from Loomis (1940s). The modern equivalent is an absolutely shocking amount of noise that will just confuse newbies, "12 steps how to draw anime characters", "how to make your art go VIRAL on twitter"
Learning to draw is both the simplest and hardest shit ever. You pick one single thing, be it an object or character or whatever, and just draw it over and over and over and over and over until you get better and better. Then you pick a different object and so on. With a few of these you can draw anything. That's why I stopped drawing, it's just low resolution photography. Now I paint. Digitally.
My Dads a pretty successful storyboard artist, career of like 30 years. He spends a lot of conversation time ranting with vile hatred at todays animation “no one knows how to fucking draw shit anymore. It’s 2D smiley faces adventure time BS”. Everything he studies is from like the 40s and 50s. He can’t bare to watch any cartoon made after the 90s. I can’t name his inspirations off hand, but I remember picking up some random magazine in his office called ‘Heavy Metal’ from the 80s or something. It’s blew me away how much better random indie illustration was just a few decades ago
@@hunterkubat4805 Yea, but also back then there were only a few huge studios capable of producing both quantity and quality episodes. Now, sure, there's less quality but there's a shit ton more quantity which means more people have access to creating their own show, which means we get to explore more unique ideas and themes. The quality of animation will come back, but the fact that right now there's a ton of mediocre animation isn't a bad thing.
@@hunterkubat4805 Learning to draw on paper and pencil is WORLDS different than learning digital alone. I'm convinced that sam is 100% right on this. Learning to sculpt with actual clay then using 3d afterwards, yields an artist that is far more "talented" as a professional than a newbie with infinite shapes and colors at their disposal. I did illustration in college and I was good enough to pay some bills with it part time- so i'm not "great" by any stretch but i'm still decent enough to pay a food bill or an electric bill with it. One of my realizations was the shit ton of time artists spend redrawing a fuckin line dude. Watch mangaka draw hair today. Line, undo, line, undo, line, etc etc they spend so much damn time fighting with perfection. it's maddening.
This is a lot of what makes me sad about the loss of old library books. If you wanted to learn graphic design, philosophy, photography, auto repair, etc. etc. there were curated library book collections with the most established reference texts available. Now a lot of that is trashed because so many libraries have shut down or are basically homeless shelters with computer labs. People used to sneer at coffee table books. I looked at many of them. They weren't just photos. The publishers employed writers to come up with extensive copy about the book subject and the photos, too. It's not even the loss of ancient or untranslated works... a lot of late-20th century material, a veritable explosion of detailed knowledge and creativity, has NOT been preserved and at this point is lost forever.
@@jokro9324 Lots of books on life during the 70s. Info on various roads and detailed urban geographical info. Lots of og engineering books from the 50s and 60s also haven't been preserved worth a damn.
IOW: You havent been to a library, and this is just what you cribbed from listening to other up their own arse contrarians say online. >People used to sneer at coffee table books. I looked at many of them. They weren't just photos. The publishers employed writers to come up with extensive copy about the book subject and the photos, too. Ok? Lord knows what that has to do with anything..... >It's not even the loss of ancient or untranslated works... a lot of late-20th century material, a veritable explosion of detailed knowledge and creativity, has NOT been preserved and at this point is lost forever. Cringe AF. Like what " veritable explosion of detailed knowledge and creativity"?
A good rule of thumb for a college graphic design program if you do go that route is that if dyed hair girls aren't having mental breakdowns and failing classes, then they probably aren't pushing hard enough. By it's nature there are finite graphic design jobs, and any program that makes it too easy is doing you a disservice if they don't make that clear via their standards.
It’s so funny watching Zoomers tell each other “ai and programming or graphic design is the future bro so go to college for that bro” I will now it’s not a promising career because all of you were chasing it in competition with each other and how many openings do you think they will have for a job where you basically code something to do the work for you? you think they need more than one person to program hundreds of robots to do your job? you all are in a gold rush and you’re going to run into a dead.
you all who think that computer is in programming are economically viable or lucrative really put a lot of trusted peacetime and electronics. One EMP from Russia or China is all it takes to make computers nit come back for decades, at least.
you all act like we’re gonna just use computers forever in world war three will never happen, I’d rather learn how to build a house and farm because we will ALWAYS need that.
@LankLets get mad at my comments I can vaguely understand what's being said here. Analytical based graphic design can be useful, understanding of visual balance, hierarchy of presenting information, and color theory. What's not useful is quirky minimalist logo designs that are not an improvement and bad clip art level posters. Coding can be the same way definitely, github exists and AI can pull from that bank of knowledge.
The thing that sucks too is the rare people who still write good books, don't have the same means to advertise so they just get lost or have to ask insane prices for their work. Looking for a book less than 20 years old that's good is like looking for a unicorn. There are so many good books that you can find as free pdfs too, there's no money in writing books anymore unless you are famous or writing a college textbook
Absolutely. At this point you have to be doing it for the love of it, content that a copy of it will exist in ten random university libraries in 80 years and just someone might pick it up and really enjoy what you wrote.
Can confirm. That's where I am now, devoting my life to something that will never earn me a living. I've tried to write for big projects but there's just no way to get in, especially being a straight white male. Oh and if you've ever wondered why stories in video games are so horrible, one big reason is that devs don't hire writers. I don't know how many times I've looked at game dev job listings. On every aspect of game development they want seasoned professionals, but when it comes to writing? "We'll just wing it and hope it works out!"
True it makes me feel like I should just give up trying to produce my own graphic novels. I just wanna dedicate my time to making actual projects and writing stories because I love to tell them and create them, and maybe once they’re done people will buy it and read it and I can make enough doing it to continue. It feels like that shouldn’t be too much to ask. But nah, that ain’t possible, it’s either capitalize your passion and make it into a soulless product in the rat race or delude yourself in a 9-5 in hopes of using spare time to do what you love but you’ll never have enough time or money because of your job. If there’s a third option I’m begging for someone to tell me cause I don’t wanna live doing either of the other two.
@@pt.bonesy So one thing I've done that's helped a lot is getting a warehouse job. I used to work office jobs but they require a level of focus that your brain will be drained, and at the end of the day, you'll be too tired to create. Jobs dealing with the public are a thousand times worse. But if you can do manual labor, your brain won't be taxed, especially once you've been at it awhile and gotten good at the job. My brain stays fresh so I have energy to work on my own projects. And the work is just like going to the gym, it's actually good for you, as long as you don't wear your back out like a dope. But honestly yeah the situation is bad, and I don't think giving up on art is even the worst option. But if you have it in you, that compulsion, then giving up on it might not be an option.
Sam is right but I won't lie, given the state of the media today and how we're moving ever closer to only having streaming platforms to access our favourite films and TV, I started buying DVDs of my favourites and ripping them onto a HDD. Some of my favourite film and TV have been removed from the major streaming platforms because they are now considered "offensive" and there is no other way to watch them unless you buy the DVD. I was lucky enough that MDE is archived and so I was able to download those but if they weren't and there had been a DVD release in the past, I'd have bought the DVD and ripped them. I know some of you have a different method but not everyone understands the ways of the high-seas lol
Physical media is based, and in this digital age, is easier than ever because you can pretty easily make infinite backups. And it's perfectly legal so long as you don't distribute the copies you make. Not that any empty suits would even know, anyways. Also FLAC files for music are godly. People say you can't really hear a difference between them and .wav, and while that may be true in an ideal scenario, sometimes problems can multiply if your setup is janky, so the purer your starting point the less corrupted you'll be at the output.
6:54 That part where he said that most how to books are filled with junk reminded me when I was studying how to get better with my drawings. Most youtube videos are barely helpful, so I had to resort to books. Newer books tend to skip alot of information as well and just show you what to do instead of why you should do it. I had to read older books in order to improve my art skills. I'm still struggling to learn how to use colors and despite watching a bunch of videos on color theory and stuff, I'm still confused as hell. I can't find an old book about it, so I'm stuck with the knowledge of a few helpful youtube videos on colors and personal experience by testing.
Everything is now monetized. Anything niche or known by a few become optimized and expanded to sell to a larger audience. Car design, video games, architecture, graphic design, logos, religions, hell even secret nature spots. Everything’s sterile now
That's why you owe it to yourself to not share things in life truly precious to you on the internet. Bring a friend or family member somewhere great, but don't post that shit online. I've seen several of my favorite nature spots get destroyed in the last decade solely because of social media.
I read some of David Goggins main book because I was really interested, only read about half way. Most of it is just him talking about his abusive childhood. That explains a lot of what he does.
your dad basically stopped growing as a person due to age, work, and having a grown adult son. Sam is different cus he has none of these and just gets constantly hounded by clueless fatherless zoomers for advice ever since he started streaming. his shallow pool of wisdom has been completely run dry but it makes him easy superchat so he's just giving non-answers. I think he's even getting sick of it which might make a good bit, let him see how far he can push saying absolutely absurd braindead shit to these poor randos who seem desperate for a shred of success, a mildly famous person's approval, or whatever.
@@BronzeAgePepper my dad is an unsuccessful graphic designer and hearing Sam's advice on learning design and just stuff about how people pay other people just invokes the same kind of boring and unimpressive boomer rambling.
@@moomoocowsly Calm down buddy these aren't criticisms. I'm poking fun at Sam's quirks, one of the main reasons people love him. Sam Hyde is quite literally an entertainer by definition. He is capable of good advice but he's an entertainer. No one watches these videos to kneel at the foot of the master. Maybe you're jealous I grew up with a dad or something but realize not every moment is spent like having your own Sam Hyde.
What I never understand is this idea that I just need to read a certain one book that will change my perspective on life. Words rarely ever stick to me, I need to DO shit, succeed, fail, repeat; or see someone else do the same. That’s how I learn, I can’t imagine finishing a book and having some profound new understanding about life.
You are confusing things. Practical subjects yeah. Othet than that, certain books do change perspectives, but youd have to be prepared. Stop being a zoomer.
You do need one book. The Bible. Read the New Testament then read Technological slavery. Drink water only and go outside once a day. Work some overtime. Boom. Then ur all good homie.
One thing i'll say about books is that i read Arthur Schopenhauer's essays and aphorisms which was written in the 19th century and he actually said in that book even then most new books are not worth reading because they will be forgotten and you should only read classics that have stood the test of time
@@MingusDynastyy that is generally a good way to go if you're reading with the intention of acquring timeless wisdom and don't want to waste time with stuff that might not go anywhere
@@MingusDynastyy one thing you start to realise when you read old books is that the same stories, patterns and cycles of human nature repeat themselves across time. The setting and the superficial aspects of culture might change and the world might look different but it's essentially the same basic stuff that's going on all the time
I was just talking to my lady about this the other night after watching some of The Last of Us. I think the creative market being oversatured as fuck might be a benefit in disguise, if it wasn't for the fact that marketing is so difficult. It's incredibly easy to stand out if you make something that isn't mediocre trend chasing dogshit, doesn't matter what the creative medium is. Movies, graphic design, books, music, or whatever. The bar is ridiculously fucking low. The problem is just marketing. Obviously globohomo megacorps have the monopoly on this, but even beyond that you're competing with thousands upon thousands of dipshits for ad views on Instagram, twitter, whatever. If you can't make your voice louder, it's just not going to happen. We well and truly live in an era of chaos in which you have to scream, smack yourself, and shit your pants to get some attention amidst a horde of people doing the same. Not to mention the means by which you present all of that effectively are changing day to day, and the people trying to give you advice on it are active participants. It's a tough pill to swallow, but if you're a "creative" you really need to do some reflection and decide if it's time to accept being an average joe. Do whatever you're passionate about as a hobby if you really like it, but in far more cases than not you absolutely should not torture yourself by thinking it's going to become something serious. IF it does, great, but do not stake your life on it.
There are millions of islands of popularity. Sure you might be able to get some cult following or get 15 minutes of fame, but you by design of the situation don't know all of the thousands of channels or platforms of people trying to set themselves apart and be different. We honestly don't need this many people being content producers, and the best we can hope for is our current decentralized shitpost/ meme-culture. I'd say be happy to participate in those sorts of things and move on as a hobby. But as far as actually making money from art you better be designing furniture or something tangible people can actually value besides "clout" "content" or "influence".
Sam's right about this, especially in the copywriting and marketing space. It's a known fact within these industries that the best books were written in the early to mid 1900's when the goal was to transfer wisdom rather than have the book act as marketing material itself.
not only was i reading a goggins book, but i also happened to be studying design (self taught with a cheap online course to help keep structure) to boot. This advice couldn't have hit at a more poignant time. Even if the field is dying- hopefully these principles will carry on and help me with other things.
David Goggins appeals to those people who always say in the UA-cam comment section "go do a trade!". It soothes them because they think that "working hard" is a natural coefficient to success and all they have to do is pull up their bootstraps. Truth is, "success" in life is choosing stem, getting lucky or having some ultra unique skillset that other people don't have have. When you have those factors you can then work hard, but hard work means nothing in itself if it goes towards nothing.
Unironically you'd be a lot happier and way less cynical about the prospect of "hard work" if you did a trade and developed a valuable skill that makes you a worthwhile person There's really nothing worse than living out your life while not having anything innate within you that is worth significant money to other people. You can fix that easily by just being a normal human male like all of your ancestors before you ever since we discovered farming, and specialize in a trade.
The principle Nassim Nicholas Taleb (say what you will about him) brings up is that the older something is and is still around being useful, the more likely it'll be around and be useful in the future. Old books that have stood the test of time will likely continue to stand the test of time. A NYT bestseller has no history, and chances are within a year it'll fade to obscurity. Some of the best books I've read are from the early and middle of the 20th century, when access to writing was much greater for (financially) ordinary people than other periods of history, but you still had to write well to both get published and for me to find your book 70 years later.
I've been learning Korean for some time. I tired all the apps and "best selling" books. Nothing really sticked it was so simple and bite sized that it never helped me learn anything. Learning a language is hard so it's like they made it so simple that is useless. However it does make you feel like you learned something. It wasn't until I bought this old ass looking book from the 90s that was challenging that I was really able to start learning really fast. Same thing for math. I had to start buying math books from the 60s-70s for it to really make sense.
Reminds me of these old 50s infomercials by chevrolete you can watch on youtube about parts of the car like the gearbox, diffrential etc, they just used to explain things so simply it was amazing.
the best way I've found to start learning a language is still the Pimsleur method. Pimsleur developed it in the 60s and they made a lot of the audio courses in the 80s. I remember fondly getting to Latin America for the first time and actually having a broken conversation with the taxi driver in Medellin after about 90 days or 45 hours of lessons. Amazing
if you are into drawing and illustration, you know what Sam says it's factual, because we all study from Andrew Loomis books, written in the 40- 50's. Everything that came after that if just a reiterations of what Loomis said.
you used to be able to buy a house just by getting a normal job in the 1950s-1960s. Lol Now it's the economy is just corrupt people milking human cattle for cents
Sorta like magic. The best tricks are found in books. Sometimes the best knowledge is still found in books. If someone back then took the time to write and put info through the medium, probably cared enough about a subject to properly study it.
Goggins has never accepted a "super chat" donation so I'm not sure Sam should be taking shots at whose income stream is cringe and whose isn't. I say that as someone who likes them both.
He's just talking about graphic design and books? why the hell are there 20 comments talking about him having grown up rich? Is this a hasan fandom now?

I like Goggins because at least he talks mostly about shit he has actually done. Then you got dudes like Peterson who are giving modern dating advice when he got married in 1950.
True artistry isn’t rewarded much any more. It’s more important to build a brand on social media then get into your creative pursuits, as the following you’ve built will buy your product. It dumbs down everything.
"Rewarded" how? I don't think anyone's recommending artistry as a good source of income in the first place anyway. Why would you become (say) a graphic designer if your goal is money?
Lol at all the idubbbz fanboys who come into the comments sections to hatewatch and seethe about Sam being a “rich kid” like he hasn’t openly talked about it for years
i’ve actually enjoyed many sam hyde skits, have been a fan of his comedy for 3 years now, but that doesn’t mean the man is not capable of the most out of touch-sounding, claims. this and his point on atheism were 2/3 rants i’ve seen out of this new sam phase, and they both missed entirely, and 1 he didn’t entirely miss (something about an alcoholic fan) was just common advice. most people here i’m sure are sam hyde fans, but that doesn’t mean we need to agree with every tangent. the dude surrounds himself with yesmen like that jet neptune (to his right) and it’s only now starting to take effect.
@@blunderless just temper the advice with your own sense of reality dude. If it sounds like it could be useful listen to it, if it sounds like it isn’t useful don’t.

@@sp123 You clearly don't understand what I said, your comment has nothing to do with mine. Let take a random artistic medium such as the piano. A lot of time went into developing that instrument, and once it became "the piano", people played it for decades/centuries. We got better and better at crafting more advanced music for it, but after a certain point, you reach then pass a point of diminishing returns on the medium. The progression comes to a halt because the amount of effort necessary to make improvements is too high and the noticeable improvement is too low. "Every good song has already been sung". Once this happens, progress halts, public interest in the medium dies and the only way to impress people is with novelty instead of quality. All artistic mediums eventually reach a point of diminishing returns, acrylic paints did so about 100-200 years ago, classical instruments around the same time. The 2D LED Matrix (aka the TV/Monitor) reached this point sometime in the 2010s. There's only so many genuinely unique and interesting ways to light up a grid of squares. Now we're in an awkward stage where our cultures primary artistic medium is past its point of diminishing returns, yet its usurper is not developed enough to be interesting to the general public, hence a feeling of "art is dead".
But wtf does advertising do..... I seriously don't understand. I don't see commercials for any of the products I use... I don't buy things because of commercials. Are there seriously people that do.....
And you've just figured out why the worst thing a company can do is let a marketing/advertising guy become the new CEO. His field is necessary, but the returns on investment are so opaque that there's no way to know if he's actually doing a good job or not. A marketing person's ability to rise has nothing to do with how he gets customers to pay attention to the company and everything to do with how he gets upper management to pay attention to himself. When he runs the company, he will continue to make plans that sound good to those around him and worry about results later. My mother has like 5 adblock addons but she sometimes watches movie trailer compilations to see what's coming up. She wants to be sold on going to the theater but if she lets advertisers determine what she sees all they'll give her is ads for soap and McDonalds. That's the level we're at, we cull as many ads as possible from our experience then pick and choose ones that might be relevant afterwards because when they get chosen for us they are NEVER relevant. The face of advertising excellence is Spotify seeing that someone's listening to a prefabricated EBM playlist and sending that person ads for EBM musicians.
Forgotten books has some interesting esoteric books that have been removed from circulation or just straight up disappeared. Books from like 1812 lmfao Weird and interesting stuff in there
David Goggins hass a 300 page book on overcoming HARDSHIP. He was obese and bullied growing up, this is his revenge. The book is actually full of wisdom if you're open minded. He doesn't just do hard shit for the fun of it. He's fighting his demons in the process, better than making videos on the internet criticising people for actually sitting down and writing a hugely successful book! ;)
If you really want wisdom read the Bible. I'm being serious here. The hard part is not fighting the rules set out by the creator. I'm fully convinced human wisdom not brought down from on high is utterly useless. The other problem is those who will use God as a defense to push their own agendas. Be careful, it's a sicc world out there, ultimately all caused by sin.
Couldn't have picked a worse example David Goggins is a person who went from being 250ish pounds (fat) as well as abused and beaten by his father who would eventually end up murdering someone, into a person who literally worked out and millitaried so hard that his ligaments and bones have disintegrated. His book and Jocko's books are intrinsically useful for changing your mindset about yourself and working to self-betterment. David and Jocko didn't live the lives they did to profit from book sales or talking tours rather they are just selling something they uniquely have which is an incredible story. Most times Sam's right not this time though
If they didn’t live to profit off their experiences why are they selling them? It doesn’t come from some deep desire to help people, otherwise they’d be doing it for free.

I bought a newer technical writing book and it was just the guys fucking blog posts with a bit of connective material added. 5-star reviews, highly recommended on social media. Books are fucking useless now and the people that recommend them probably don't read them.
This applies to every education now adays, unless it is something very new and made by someone who is very competent e.g. Mr.Beast teaching you how to make a viral video, the best you can do is read 70-90s books
Asian artists especially the Japanese ones are impressive, they have very good philosophy on things. They don’t think in some post modern hyper, pretentious expressionism or something like that. they still view art, as a very traditional thing and respect the ancestral part of it. They have a very clear, idea of what art is. Art is subjective, but they absolutely know which kind of art is considered good. People only think of Anime/hentai and manga but, other Art that the Japanese engage in is super good.
Sam is right. He's talking about money. You won't be rich by reading or even emulating Goggins. Because what Goggins and guys like Jocko are actually selling is books, courses, and themselves. They've turned themselves into guru's and businesses. There isn't any esoteric knowledge in there that will actually bring you to success. You're just making them successful.

@@destubae3271 True. You won't become financially successful with Sam's advice or Goggins or Jocko's. But you might if you turned yourself into a business by copying how they sell themselves as larger than life personalities to their audiences. Goggins isn't rich because he runs himself to death, he's rich because he turned that into a story to sell books and get paid to show up.
The whole thing about these people writing books is so true. How many books about waking up at 4am and taking a cold plunge do we really need?
It's more about how the message is packaged and resonates with the audience. Like a father trying to give their kid a piece of wisdom, but the kid doesn't listen until they hear the same message from someone else. And suddenly they're able to internalize and act upon that wisdom.
Gay ass fucking books... Meanwhile my MONDO MEGABITZ (tm) keep me entertained and wealthy for HOURS!!!

Instead they all go into long-winded stories about their life or other people’s lives. Hundreds of pages of basically the same stories.

"Bestseller" just means that book stores bought shit loads of stock. It doesn't take into account how many actually get bought by customers or get returned to the publisher unsold. That's why so many trash books are best sellers. It's a fake statistic. If a book store buys 10 million copies, sells one and returns the rest unsold...it sold 10 million copies and is a best seller. If you're a publisher that wants Prince Harry's book to be number 1, you just send out hundreds of thousands of copies and record it as copies sold.

I appreciate how Sam pointed out the 48 laws of power is dark triad garbage, that word gets thrown around a lot, but straight up it's crazy how that book and a ton of self help books on sociology are just "be an asshole and brazenly manipulate everyone you meet bro."
It's like those sigma male videos but written by a 12 year old who took it seriously.
The author is a dew so it makes sense. The book is actually great at teaching you how to be one, so if you wanna be like that then you may as well learn from the very best.
Thanks goys, I was wondering why everyone loves that book and when I listened to the audiobook it was easily forgotten and sounded against the grain, immoral. There's a lot of easy, destructive decisions I could make to profit myself, but no I don't want to poison rivers to save 0.05% on costs while killing locals, that's how that crap reads to me. That's for the Jews and the psychopaths.
Jews are the synagogue of Satan, that's what Jesus Christ Himself calls them in Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 only trust the King James Bible in English, the rest are satanic corruptions, would you believe how often the Jews have their hands in tampering with the scriptures? Don't get annotated Bibles because those are particularly bad, that's literally the reason why so many goomba Christians are pro Zionist, the footnotes in their Bibles lie and tell them to be, they didn't even check who make the footnotes and who was funding them. Same with dogshit Bible colleges, the same thing more Jew money brainwashing people.
When you're free from all that you'd be surprised how anti Zionist God is, those people were cursed by Jesus Christ and He calls them out so many times in the New Testament.
Well, if you are interested there's an excellent documentary on this information called Marching to Zion by Framing the World. There's a short companion documentary to it and I can't say the name because it's _autobahned._
More importantly than that, I write this because I care. Look:
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans:3:10,23 King James Version
Everyone is a sinner, one sin is enough to send you to hell, however God loves us and provides the only way to Heaven: through Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ paid the full price for your sins past, present and future through His sacrifice and resurrection. He offers the free gift of eternal life to anyone who puts their trust in him to save them, not in their own good deeds which can NEVER save them.
I have a clear gospel presentation on my channel by a trustworthy pastor. Watch it, understand the gospel and believe it. Get saved today, it lasts for eternity.
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
1 John:5:13 King James Version
Good, I was expecting that to get deleted immediately.

Needing to go back many decades for the real info is 100% true, if you want to learn to draw, to this day some of the best books are from Loomis (1940s). The modern equivalent is an absolutely shocking amount of noise that will just confuse newbies, "12 steps how to draw anime characters", "how to make your art go VIRAL on twitter"
Learning to draw is both the simplest and hardest shit ever. You pick one single thing, be it an object or character or whatever, and just draw it over and over and over and over and over until you get better and better. Then you pick a different object and so on. With a few of these you can draw anything. That's why I stopped drawing, it's just low resolution photography. Now I paint. Digitally.
My Dads a pretty successful storyboard artist, career of like 30 years. He spends a lot of conversation time ranting with vile hatred at todays animation “no one knows how to fucking draw shit anymore. It’s 2D smiley faces adventure time BS”. Everything he studies is from like the 40s and 50s. He can’t bare to watch any cartoon made after the 90s. I can’t name his inspirations off hand, but I remember picking up some random magazine in his office called ‘Heavy Metal’ from the 80s or something. It’s blew me away how much better random indie illustration was just a few decades ago
ArtByDano is my dads art btw. It’s good shit, check it
@@hunterkubat4805 Yea, but also back then there were only a few huge studios capable of producing both quantity and quality episodes. Now, sure, there's less quality but there's a shit ton more quantity which means more people have access to creating their own show, which means we get to explore more unique ideas and themes. The quality of animation will come back, but the fact that right now there's a ton of mediocre animation isn't a bad thing.
@@hunterkubat4805 Learning to draw on paper and pencil is WORLDS different than learning digital alone. I'm convinced that sam is 100% right on this. Learning to sculpt with actual clay then using 3d afterwards, yields an artist that is far more "talented" as a professional than a newbie with infinite shapes and colors at their disposal. I did illustration in college and I was good enough to pay some bills with it part time- so i'm not "great" by any stretch but i'm still decent enough to pay a food bill or an electric bill with it.
One of my realizations was the shit ton of time artists spend redrawing a fuckin line dude. Watch mangaka draw hair today. Line, undo, line, undo, line, etc etc they spend so much damn time fighting with perfection. it's maddening.
This is a lot of what makes me sad about the loss of old library books. If you wanted to learn graphic design, philosophy, photography, auto repair, etc. etc. there were curated library book collections with the most established reference texts available. Now a lot of that is trashed because so many libraries have shut down or are basically homeless shelters with computer labs.
People used to sneer at coffee table books. I looked at many of them. They weren't just photos. The publishers employed writers to come up with extensive copy about the book subject and the photos, too.
It's not even the loss of ancient or untranslated works... a lot of late-20th century material, a veritable explosion of detailed knowledge and creativity, has NOT been preserved and at this point is lost forever.
So true

Cringe AF. Like what " veritable explosion of detailed knowledge and creativity"?
A good rule of thumb for a college graphic design program if you do go that route is that if dyed hair girls aren't having mental breakdowns and failing classes, then they probably aren't pushing hard enough. By it's nature there are finite graphic design jobs, and any program that makes it too easy is doing you a disservice if they don't make that clear via their standards.
Rule of thumb is don't do graphic design. If you do graphic design shove your thumb up your ass. That's your rule.
It’s so funny watching Zoomers tell each other “ai and programming or graphic design is the future bro so go to college for that bro” I will now it’s not a promising career because all of you were chasing it in competition with each other and how many openings do you think they will have for a job where you basically code something to do the work for you? you think they need more than one person to program hundreds of robots to do your job? you all are in a gold rush and you’re going to run into a dead.
you all who think that computer is in programming are economically viable or lucrative really put a lot of trusted peacetime and electronics. One EMP from Russia or China is all it takes to make computers nit come back for decades, at least.
you all act like we’re gonna just use computers forever in world war three will never happen, I’d rather learn how to build a house and farm because we will ALWAYS need that.
@LankLets get mad at my comments I can vaguely understand what's being said here. Analytical based graphic design can be useful, understanding of visual balance, hierarchy of presenting information, and color theory. What's not useful is quirky minimalist logo designs that are not an improvement and bad clip art level posters. Coding can be the same way definitely, github exists and AI can pull from that bank of knowledge.
The thing that sucks too is the rare people who still write good books, don't have the same means to advertise so they just get lost or have to ask insane prices for their work. Looking for a book less than 20 years old that's good is like looking for a unicorn. There are so many good books that you can find as free pdfs too, there's no money in writing books anymore unless you are famous or writing a college textbook
Absolutely. At this point you have to be doing it for the love of it, content that a copy of it will exist in ten random university libraries in 80 years and just someone might pick it up and really enjoy what you wrote.
Can confirm. That's where I am now, devoting my life to something that will never earn me a living. I've tried to write for big projects but there's just no way to get in, especially being a straight white male. Oh and if you've ever wondered why stories in video games are so horrible, one big reason is that devs don't hire writers. I don't know how many times I've looked at game dev job listings. On every aspect of game development they want seasoned professionals, but when it comes to writing? "We'll just wing it and hope it works out!"
True it makes me feel like I should just give up trying to produce my own graphic novels. I just wanna dedicate my time to making actual projects and writing stories because I love to tell them and create them, and maybe once they’re done people will buy it and read it and I can make enough doing it to continue. It feels like that shouldn’t be too much to ask. But nah, that ain’t possible, it’s either capitalize your passion and make it into a soulless product in the rat race or delude yourself in a 9-5 in hopes of using spare time to do what you love but you’ll never have enough time or money because of your job. If there’s a third option I’m begging for someone to tell me cause I don’t wanna live doing either of the other two.
@@pt.bonesy The third option is being born rich, or marrying into a rich family GL
@@pt.bonesy So one thing I've done that's helped a lot is getting a warehouse job. I used to work office jobs but they require a level of focus that your brain will be drained, and at the end of the day, you'll be too tired to create. Jobs dealing with the public are a thousand times worse. But if you can do manual labor, your brain won't be taxed, especially once you've been at it awhile and gotten good at the job. My brain stays fresh so I have energy to work on my own projects. And the work is just like going to the gym, it's actually good for you, as long as you don't wear your back out like a dope. But honestly yeah the situation is bad, and I don't think giving up on art is even the worst option. But if you have it in you, that compulsion, then giving up on it might not be an option.
My friends and I call them "airport books"
Sam is right but I won't lie, given the state of the media today and how we're moving ever closer to only having streaming platforms to access our favourite films and TV, I started buying DVDs of my favourites and ripping them onto a HDD. Some of my favourite film and TV have been removed from the major streaming platforms because they are now considered "offensive" and there is no other way to watch them unless you buy the DVD. I was lucky enough that MDE is archived and so I was able to download those but if they weren't and there had been a DVD release in the past, I'd have bought the DVD and ripped them. I know some of you have a different method but not everyone understands the ways of the high-seas lol

Physical media is based, and in this digital age, is easier than ever because you can pretty easily make infinite backups. And it's perfectly legal so long as you don't distribute the copies you make. Not that any empty suits would even know, anyways. Also FLAC files for music are godly. People say you can't really hear a difference between them and .wav, and while that may be true in an ideal scenario, sometimes problems can multiply if your setup is janky, so the purer your starting point the less corrupted you'll be at the output.
Remember to take care of your physical media, especially the books
6:54 That part where he said that most how to books are filled with junk reminded me when I was studying how to get better with my drawings.
Most youtube videos are barely helpful, so I had to resort to books. Newer books tend to skip alot of information as well and just show you what to do instead of why you should do it. I had to read older books in order to improve my art skills.
I'm still struggling to learn how to use colors and despite watching a bunch of videos on color theory and stuff, I'm still confused as hell. I can't find an old book about it, so I'm stuck with the knowledge of a few helpful youtube videos on colors and personal experience by testing.

I was just talking to my lady about this the other night after watching some of The Last of Us. I think the creative market being oversatured as fuck might be a benefit in disguise, if it wasn't for the fact that marketing is so difficult. It's incredibly easy to stand out if you make something that isn't mediocre trend chasing dogshit, doesn't matter what the creative medium is. Movies, graphic design, books, music, or whatever. The bar is ridiculously fucking low. The problem is just marketing. Obviously globohomo megacorps have the monopoly on this, but even beyond that you're competing with thousands upon thousands of dipshits for ad views on Instagram, twitter, whatever. If you can't make your voice louder, it's just not going to happen. We well and truly live in an era of chaos in which you have to scream, smack yourself, and shit your pants to get some attention amidst a horde of people doing the same. Not to mention the means by which you present all of that effectively are changing day to day, and the people trying to give you advice on it are active participants.
It's a tough pill to swallow, but if you're a "creative" you really need to do some reflection and decide if it's time to accept being an average joe. Do whatever you're passionate about as a hobby if you really like it, but in far more cases than not you absolutely should not torture yourself by thinking it's going to become something serious. IF it does, great, but do not stake your life on it.

David Goggins appeals to those people who always say in the UA-cam comment section "go do a trade!". It soothes them because they think that "working hard" is a natural coefficient to success and all they have to do is pull up their bootstraps. Truth is, "success" in life is choosing stem, getting lucky or having some ultra unique skillset that other people don't have have. When you have those factors you can then work hard, but hard work means nothing in itself if it goes towards nothing.
Unironically you'd be a lot happier and way less cynical about the prospect of "hard work" if you did a trade and developed a valuable skill that makes you a worthwhile person

The principle Nassim Nicholas Taleb (say what you will about him) brings up is that the older something is and is still around being useful, the more likely it'll be around and be useful in the future. Old books that have stood the test of time will likely continue to stand the test of time. A NYT bestseller has no history, and chances are within a year it'll fade to obscurity. Some of the best books I've read are from the early and middle of the 20th century, when access to writing was much greater for (financially) ordinary people than other periods of history, but you still had to write well to both get published and for me to find your book 70 years later.

True artistry isn’t rewarded much any more. It’s more important to build a brand on social media then get into your creative pursuits, as the following you’ve built will buy your product. It dumbs down everything.
"Rewarded" how? I don't think anyone's recommending artistry as a good source of income in the first place anyway. Why would you become (say) a graphic designer if your goal is money?

this and his point on atheism were 2/3 rants i’ve seen out of this new sam phase, and they both missed entirely, and 1 he didn’t entirely miss (something about an alcoholic fan) was just common advice.

I super legally got the David Higgins books and they are the most boring nonsense in this world. Is all fluff no substance . I take care of my grandma so I have a lot of time on my hands . So I started super legally reading modern fiction books. God save me! Plot is non existent and they are always 400+ pages long with nothing in it with the prose of a kid high on chromosomes.

Plus he really supports the LGBTQ because they're just like him because racism. It is really inspiring, I love gay people now!
I disagree but looking at the book as if it’s supposed to teach you anything is wrong. The book is amazing though. It provides comfort for people who also had shitty lives.

@@sp123 You clearly don't understand what I said, your comment has nothing to do with mine.
Let take a random artistic medium such as the piano. A lot of time went into developing that instrument, and once it became "the piano", people played it for decades/centuries. We got better and better at crafting more advanced music for it, but after a certain point, you reach then pass a point of diminishing returns on the medium.
The progression comes to a halt because the amount of effort necessary to make improvements is too high and the noticeable improvement is too low. "Every good song has already been sung". Once this happens, progress halts, public interest in the medium dies and the only way to impress people is with novelty instead of quality.
All artistic mediums eventually reach a point of diminishing returns, acrylic paints did so about 100-200 years ago, classical instruments around the same time. The 2D LED Matrix (aka the TV/Monitor) reached this point sometime in the 2010s. There's only so many genuinely unique and interesting ways to light up a grid of squares.
Now we're in an awkward stage where our cultures primary artistic medium is past its point of diminishing returns, yet its usurper is not developed enough to be interesting to the general public, hence a feeling of "art is dead".

But wtf does advertising do..... I seriously don't understand.
I don't see commercials for any of the products I use... I don't buy things because of commercials.
Are there seriously people that do.....
Exactly thank you. Why does every piece of content I watch or listen to bookended by a commercial for a product why can’t media exist with out ads
It doesn't matter If advertising works or not, companies spent a chunk of their profits on them regardless
And you've just figured out why the worst thing a company can do is let a marketing/advertising guy become the new CEO. His field is necessary, but the returns on investment are so opaque that there's no way to know if he's actually doing a good job or not. A marketing person's ability to rise has nothing to do with how he gets customers to pay attention to the company and everything to do with how he gets upper management to pay attention to himself. When he runs the company, he will continue to make plans that sound good to those around him and worry about results later.
My mother has like 5 adblock addons but she sometimes watches movie trailer compilations to see what's coming up. She wants to be sold on going to the theater but if she lets advertisers determine what she sees all they'll give her is ads for soap and McDonalds. That's the level we're at, we cull as many ads as possible from our experience then pick and choose ones that might be relevant afterwards because when they get chosen for us they are NEVER relevant. The face of advertising excellence is Spotify seeing that someone's listening to a prefabricated EBM playlist and sending that person ads for EBM musicians.

David Goggins hass a 300 page book on overcoming HARDSHIP. He was obese and bullied growing up, this is his revenge. The book is actually full of wisdom if you're open minded. He doesn't just do hard shit for the fun of it. He's fighting his demons in the process, better than making videos on the internet criticising people for actually sitting down and writing a hugely successful book! ;)

If you really want wisdom read the Bible. I'm being serious here. The hard part is not fighting the rules set out by the creator. I'm fully convinced human wisdom not brought down from on high is utterly useless. The other problem is those who will use God as a defense to push their own agendas. Be careful, it's a sicc world out there, ultimately all caused by sin.

Couldn't have picked a worse example David Goggins is a person who went from being 250ish pounds (fat) as well as abused and beaten by his father who would eventually end up murdering someone, into a person who literally worked out and millitaried so hard that his ligaments and bones have disintegrated. His book and Jocko's books are intrinsically useful for changing your mindset about yourself and working to self-betterment. David and Jocko didn't live the lives they did to profit from book sales or talking tours rather they are just selling something they uniquely have which is an incredible story. Most times Sam's right not this time though
Jocko*
If they didn’t live to profit off their experiences why are they selling them? It doesn’t come from some deep desire to help people, otherwise they’d be doing it for free.

Asian artists especially the Japanese ones are impressive, they have very good philosophy on things.
They don’t think in some post modern hyper, pretentious expressionism or something like that.
they still view art, as a very traditional thing and respect the ancestral part of it. They have a very clear, idea of what art is. Art is subjective, but they absolutely know which kind of art is considered good.
People only think of Anime/hentai and manga but, other Art that the Japanese engage in is super good.
