1
Alright boys, the receding hairline is making an appearance for this video.
2
To make a very specific point,
3
and that point is that you do not need to be handsome to be successful.
4
You do not need to be good looking to be successful.
5
And there is no, let me repeat that,
6
no correlation between what you look like and how commercially successful you are in business.
7
Now, this looks maxing thing has gone too far.
8
And I don't know about you,
9
but I've been observing society and culture in this weird little Instagram age.
10
And I've noticed that women are becoming men and men are becoming women.
11
You notice in this as well?
12
Like, you know, we took ourselves as men culturally to a pinnacle of masculinity.
13
We idolized Andrew Tate.
14
We idolized Tristan Tate.
15
We idolized, you know, further extremes than James Bond,
16
about as masculine as you can get.
17
the problem with anything taken to its extreme is you create an opposite
18
and so anything is a paradox anything taken to its extreme becomes opposite
19
and i i just have a feeling boys
20
that we're all on to the wrong thing here now i
21
was having a conversation earlier with a kid in the sauna now
22
that i know that might sound a little bit suspicious
23
but he was about 21 years old and he was talking about looks maxing
24
and he was talking about how like you know he he's going to be more successful
25
because he's he's good looking and he's going to be working on his looks and i was like,
26
dude, let Napoleon, Socrates, Winston Churchill,
27
Genghis Khan, Julius Caesar, Vitalik,
28
who I've been compared to,
29
like, look, I could sit here with a straight face and list,
30
I don't know, a hundred successful,
31
hyper successful men in any field,
32
early Zuck, early Bezos, early Warren Buffett,
33
early Charlie Munger, like, it's like,
34
there is just, no correlation between what you look like
35
and how commercially successful you are there is a single exception
36
and this single exception has been horrifically overextended now there is a quote
37
and it summarizes a beautiful beautiful phrase
38
that to the man with a hammer every problem seems to look like a nail now looks maxing
39
and the idea of looks maxing has been born by influencers it's It's been born by streamers and influencers and TikTokers.
40
Now, let me tell you something.
41
To the man with a hammer,
42
every problem seems to look like a nail.
43
There is a correlation between how attractive you are and how successful you are on social media.
44
Proven.
45
It's even written in TikTok's algorithm, okay?
46
If you're more handsome, more chiseled,
47
more asymmet, more symmetrical you will get more views the problem is
48
that the influencers have a platform and the thing
49
that made them successful they then project onto the world let me give you a piece of critical thinking
50
it's 5 a.m you're you have a family right at some point in the future it's 5 a.m
51
and you know you wake up to go to work
52
because you've got a job and you go to turn the shower on
53
and the shower doesn't work you go to flush the toilet
54
the toilet doesn't work your water stops working oh shit i've
55
got to call a plumber it's 5am you call a plumber
56
when you call that plumber to make a purchasing decision
57
which by the way is what business and the economy ticks on
58
you make that decision on the availability of the plumber
59
and the competence of the plumber you do not go on the plumbers instagram
60
and think hmm i think i should probably hire the most handsome plumber
61
if anything you want the ugliest plumber all right look boys the way
62
that we organize ourselves in hierarchies
63
and well the way we organize ourselves in society at least
64
especially commercially in hierarchies in business is on competence your ability
65
to get the job done your ability to think critically problem solved
66
and obsess over the thing you're doing you might be like yeah
67
but mark zuckerberg he's taking care of his looks now the
68
only reason mark zuckerberg takes care of his his looks now is because he's in the media.
69
When your job is media, appearance becomes important.
70
Oh, look at Zuck when he made his first billion,
71
his first 10 billion, his first 50 billion.
72
Just a dude, just a nerdy looking dude.
73
Elon Musk.
74
He's not the most handsome guy in the world, to be fair.
75
There's a lot of people that find him quite handsome,
76
but that's up for debate.
77
But my point here, gentlemen,
78
is that if you are a influencer,
79
if you are a streamer,
80
if you are a tick tocker
81
or your ambition is to build a social media presence then being good looking is going to help you
82
but the problem is that the influencers that have discovered
83
that now believe in their infinite wisdom and prowess of intellectualism
84
that the same thing applies to every other area of life it doesn't napoleon was one of the greatest conquerors
85
and emperors to to Everlift.
86
He managed to get, I mean,
87
he subdued the entirety of Europe.
88
He was like 5'6", 5'5",
89
and he wasn't that good looking.
90
There's one portrait of him that depicts him looking very handsome.
91
The rest of them, he was described as quite squat,
92
not the best looking, and his wife cheated on him.
93
So if you want to take it very far,
94
he was not good looking and a cuck.
95
And it's And it's like,
96
the problem is, is we really sort of put this divine masculinity on a pedestal.
97
But the problem is that what you then do is you think
98
that you have to be handsome to be successful because your only perception of success comes from the pedestal of social media.
99
You don't have a window or a paradigm or a perspective to see the world in any other way.
100
The only thing you know about business is what you see on social media.
101
You don't see the guy who owns Home Depot,
102
who's who's worth like the company worth 300 billion dollars just
103
a normal looking dude just a normal looking dude might be
104
might have been a little more handsome the next guy
105
but he wasn't like some you know mogging chad now it's
106
just like it doesn't take much it doesn't take much more than a modicum of critical thinking to realize this
107
and look i i don't care
108
if you want to do your looks maxing i don't care
109
if you want to hit your face with a hammer i don't care
110
if you you want to pencil your eyebrows or wear eyeliner or whatever.
111
The point at which I care for you is when you start thinking that those behaviors in any way,
112
shape or form correlate to more success in business.
113
They don't.
114
If anything, they hinder your ability to be successful because success is about sustained focus.
115
Now, I know this because I have made $40 million online with this hairline.
116
Do you, for the life of you,
117
really think that the reason that I made multi eight figures online is
118
because I was six foot? shit the people i do business with online don't even know how tall i am
119
but the thing is is a lot of men are very insecure
120
and so they use this you know um nietzsche said this god is dead
121
and now we cling on to these ideals right
122
and one ideal is looking good it's it's this it's this it's this boy in the ocean of chaos
123
that is life you can grab onto it
124
and as long as at least if i look good i've got something together
125
and so when you challenge that and you'll see this in the comments
126
if you want to scroll down
127
and have a look it'll be a whale of a time
128
when you challenge someone's insecurities
129
or you poke them people don't like to be poked in the insecurities like this it's ridiculous
130
and so what they'll do is because they value success and
131
because they value you know um commercial gain i.e getting rich
132
and that's one of the central polaris stars in their life one of the main things they want to achieve
133
but at the same time they're also insecure about their looks
134
or they feel like they're very low down the social hierarchy
135
they they they they they they they they they they they fused the two together
136
and nothing could be further from the the truth the reason i'm successful is
137
because i worked incredibly hard got really good at something
138
and figured out how to sell things to people for less than it cost me to sell it to them
139
and make it you don't need to be handsome to do
140
that now if you want to be a streamer
141
if you want to be an influencer maybe you can have a conversation about
142
that and there's definitely a relationship but this this whole thing like
143
but the halo effect it's like it's like come on man like you know really Like,
144
go and look at any,
145
like go to the forbes rich list right now
146
and look at the richest self-made men in the world
147
and tell me do you see like a genuine cause
148
and effect because if this was true and if it was true
149
that in order to be successful you are you know you have to be handsome
150
or
151
that being handsome is correlated with success then the most the
152
richest people in the world would be the most handsome is
153
that not true can we not can we not extend it
154
that far but instead we just worship a projection from influencers
155
and streamers and look i'm not saying
156
that it's it's a bad thing to work on your looks i'm just saying
157
that don't use that as a proxy for the reason you're not successful
158
and this i will leave you with this in closing where
159
we end up as usual with all of these things is to reveal
160
that we have a grand coping mechanism and if the reason
161
that you're telling yourself right now that you're not successful is
162
because of your looks you are a fucking idiot and i mean
163
that with love and i mean that with care i don't mean
164
that to insult you i'm just trying to snap you out of this stupidness that you've dove into
165
i'm not rich and successful because i'm under six foot i'm not rich
166
and successful because my jawline isn't symmetrical i'm not successful
167
because you know i haven't got hunter eyes it's like can you just just listen to yourself
168
and then go and listen to anyone who's actually achieved success
169
and see if they want to talk about their looks unless they're a streamer an influencer a tick tocker
170
or whatever your perception of business and commercial success is limited solely to social media
171
and therefore you think that to achieve success and everything like
172
that you have to emulate these people social media represents a tiny little proportion of actual entrepreneurs go
173
and look at tobias luchki you don't know who
174
that is he's the founder of shopify
175
and his company is worth a hundred billion dollars he's bold wears glasses he's just a normal looking dude
176

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
