1
the worst outcome in the world is not having self-esteem why yeah it's a tough one uh well
2
i i i look at the people and i don't want to offend anybody
3
but i look at the people who don't like themselves
4
and that's the toughest slot because they're always wrestling with themselves
5
and it's hard enough to face the outside world um
6
and no one's going to like you more than you like yourself
7
so if you're struggling with yourself then the outside world becomes an insurmountable challenge.
8
And it's hard to say why people have low self-esteem.
9
It might be genetic.
10
It might just be circumstantial.
11
A lot of times I think it's because they just weren't unconditionally loved as a child.
12
And that sort of seeps in at a deep core level.
13
But self-esteem issues can be the most limiting.
14
One interesting thought is that, you know, to some extent, self-esteem is the reputation you have with yourself.
15
You're watching yourself at all times.
16
You know what you're doing and you have your own moral code.
17
Everyone has a different moral code.
18
But if you don't live up to your own moral code, the same code that you hold others to, it will damage your self-esteem.
19
So perhaps one way to build up your self-esteem is to live up to your own code, very rigorously have one and then live up to it.
20
Another way to raise your self-esteem might be to do things for others.
21
If I look back on my life and, you know, what are the moments that I'm actually proud of?
22
There's very far and few between and it's not
23
that often it's not the things you would expect it's not the material success it's not having learned this thing
24
or that it's when i made a sacrifice for somebody
25
or something that i loved and uh that's
26
when i'm actually ironically most proud now that's through an explicit mental exercise
27
but i'll bet you at some level i'm recording that implicitly
28
so that tells me that even
29
if i am not being loved then the way to create
30
love is to give love to to express love through sacrifice
31
and through duty and so i think doing things like that can build up your self-esteem really fast.
32
It's interesting when you talk about sacrifice because a lot of the time people say, I sacrifice so much for my job.
33
It's like, yeah, but that was you sacrificing something
34
that you wanted less for something that you wanted more as opposed to genuinely taking some sort of cost.
35
And yeah, I wonder whether if self-esteem is you adhering to your internal,
36
your actions and your values aligning even when it's difficult or perhaps even more so when it's difficult,
37
I wonder whether there is a price that people who are more introspective, high integrity pay, because you think,
38
well, you've got this heavier set of overheads that you need to pay in some way.
39
Well, if being ethical were profitable, everybody would do it, right?
40
So at some level, it does involve a sacrifice.
41
But that sacrifice can also be thought of as you're thinking for the long term rather than the short term.
42
For example, the virtues are the set of beliefs that if everybody in society followed them as individuals, it would lead to win-win outcomes for everybody.
43
So if I am honest and you are honest, then we can do business more easily.
44
We can interact more easily because we can trust each other.
45
So even though there might be a few liars in the system, as long as there aren't too many liars and too many cheaters, a high trust society where everybody's honest is better off.
46
And I think a lot of the virtues work this way, right?
47
If I don't go around sleeping with your wife and you don't sleep with mine, and, you know, if I don't take all the food that's at the table first and so on, then we all get along better and we can play win-win games.
48
in game theory the most famous game is prisoner's dilemma
49
but that's all about everybody cheating
50
and the Nash equilibrium the stable equilibrium there is everybody cheats
51
and your fort the only way you can be you can play a win-win game is
52
if you have long-term iterated moves
53
but that's not actually the most common game played in society
54
the most common game played is one called a stag's hunt where
55
if we cooperate we can bring down a big stag
56
and both have big dinners but
57
if we don't cooperate then we have to go hunt like rabbits
58
and we each have small dinners so most of uh and
59
that game has two stable equilibriums
60
and one could be where we're both hunting the rabbit
61
and one could be where we're hunting the stag
62
so the high trust society is a more most more virtuous
63
society where i can trust you to come hunt the stag with me
64
and show up on time and do the work
65
and divide it up properly
66
so you want to live in a system where everybody has their own set of virtues
67
and follows them and then we all win.
68
But I would argue you don't need to do that for sacrifice.
69
You don't need to do that for other people.
70
You can do it just purely for yourself.
71
You will have higher self-esteem.
72
You will attract other high virtue people.
73
Would I go on a stag hunt with me?
74
Correct.
75
Yeah, that's right.
76
And if you're the kind of person, if you're the kind of person who long-term signals ethics and virtues,
77
then you will attract other people who are ethical and virtuous.
78
Whereas if you are a shark, you will eventually find yourself swimming entirely amongst sharks.
79
And that's an unpleasant existence.
80
But again, this goes back to the equivalent of the marshmallow test.
81
And by the way, the marshmallow test does not replicate.
82
It's fake science.
83
I saw the replication crisis hard recently.
84
But it is about trading off the short term for the long term.
85
And so I think for a lot of these so-called virtues, there are long-term selfish reasons to be virtuous.
86
Yeah.
87
Did you deal with self-doubt in the past?
88
Is that something that was a hurdle for you to overcome?
89
Yes and no. I think I dealt with self-doubt in the sense that, oh, I don't know what I'm doing and I need to figure it out.
90
But I didn't doubt myself in the way of somebody else knows better than me for me or that, you know, I'm an idiot or I'm not worthwhile or anything
91
that i guess i had the benefit of i grew up
92
with a lot of love like the people around me love me unconditionally
93
and so that just gave me a lot of confidence uh not the kind of confidence
94
that would say i have the answer but the kind of confidence
95
that i will figure it out and i know what i want
96
or only i am a good arbiter of what i want yeah
97
that level of self-belief i suppose allows you to determine what is it
98
that matters to me my self-esteem should i chase this thing or not, I can make a fair judgment on that as opposed to being so swayed.
99
But it's such a good point about even if you think you're not consciously logging the stuff that you're doing, there is some that's in the back of your mind.
100
Was it the daemon?
101
Is that what the ancient Greeks or something used to talk about?
102
Yeah.
103
Also in computer science, there's a concept of a daemon, which is a program that's always running in the background.
104
You can't see it.
105
But yeah, it probably comes from the ancient Greek daemon.
106
But yeah, what you know that you don't even know you know is far greater than what you know you know, right?
107
You can't even articulate most of the things you know.
108
There are feelings you have that have no words for them.
109
There are thoughts you have that are felt within the body or subconsciously that you never articulate to yourself.
110
You can't articulate the rules of grammar, yet you exercise them effortlessly when you speak.
111
so i would argue that your implicit knowledge and your knowledge
112
that is unknown to yourself is far greater than the knowledge you can articulate
113
and that you can communicate and
114
so at some level you're always watching yourself that's what your
115
consciousness is right it's the thing that's watching everything including your mind including your body
116
so if you want to uh have high self-esteem then earn your own self-respect i had this idea the internal golden rule.
117
So the golden rule says treat others the way that you should be treated, you want to be treated.
118
The internal golden rule says treat yourself like others should have treated you.
119
And it was a riposte to maybe people that didn't grow up with unconditional love in that way.
120
On the love thing, one of the interesting things about love is you can try to remember the feeling of being loved.
121
So go back to when someone was in love with you or someone did love you and like, really remember that feeling, like really sit with it and try to recreate it within yourself.
122
And then go to the feeling of you loving someone.
123
And when you were in love, and I'm not even talking about romantic love necessarily.
124
So be a little careful there.
125
I'm talking more about like love for it.
126
Sometimes get complex if you're talking about past romantic love.
127
Right.
128
A sibling or a child or something like that or a parent
129
and think about when you felt love towards someone or something
130
and now which is better and i would argue
131
that the feeling of being in love is actually more exhilarating
132
than the feeling of being loved being loved is a little
133
cloying it's a little too sweet you kind of want to push the person away it's a little embarrassing
134
and you know that if that person is too much into it
135
that you feel constrained on the other hand the feeling of being in love is very expansive.
136
It's very open.
137
It actually makes you a better version of yourself.
138
It makes you want to be a better person.
139
And so you can create love anytime you want.
140
It's just that craving to receive it.
141
That's the problem.
142
A quick aside.
143
You've probably heard me talk about element before.
144
In fact, you might be thinking for sake, Chris, will you shut up about element?
145
And the answer is no, I won't.
146
Because when I take it, I genuinely feel the difference.
147
I genuinely believe that proper hydration makes a massive difference to your performance
148
so I'm going to keep talking about it until you start drinking it.
149
Element is a tasty electrolyte drink mix with everything that you need and nothing that you don't.
150
Each grab-and-go stick pack contains a science-backed electrolyte ratio of sodium, potassium, and magnesium with no sugar, no coloring, no artificial ingredients, or any other junk.
151
It plays a critical role in reducing muscle cramps and fatigue while optimizing brain health, regulating appetite, and curbing cravings.
152
This orange flavor in a cold glass of water is how I've started my morning
153
every single day for over three years now.
154
And I genuinely feel the difference versus when I don't.
155
Best of all, they have a no questions ask refund policy with an unlimited duration.
156
So you can buy it and try it for as long as you want.
157
And if you don't like it for any reason, they'll just give you your money back.

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
