- So, I got some news this morning.

I heard that I was canceled.

Thank you.

Do you want to know what I said when I found out?

Yay.

I said yay.

Because that's the best news I could have possibly gotten for my career.

Let me ask you a question.

What is the most powerful currency in our society?

Think very carefully before you answer.

It's not money.

It's not sex.

It's not even power.

It's attention.

The attention that you're giving me right now.

The attention that I've been farming from you idiots for the past three years.

Everybody was mad at me on Twitter the other day because of a video that I made screaming in my car.

Oh, it's getting pretty old, they said.

Never seen this one before, they said sarcastically.

a tweet like that.

Every time I would see...

Every time I saw a tweet like that, I jumped Cha -ching!

Attention!

If you can capture people's attention, you will be the most powerful person on our planet.

Look at where I am right now.

I'm on Malibu Beach at 11 a .m on a Monday afternoon.

I have you all to thank for that.

All of you who said, "This guy sucks." This guy's an idiot.

This guy's a psychopath.

This guy is a narcissist.

Bing, bong, bing.

Engagement goes up.

Because if there's one thing I learned on Twitter, being a rage baiter, that's what they would call me, a troll.

engagement farming.

It's that you idiots will do anything but ignore somebody Who wants attention?

You're not capable of it.

Why do you have to let it consume every second of your attention?

fiber of your brain.

You know why this is wrong.

You know what If they just listen to you,

even though you get two likes maybe, zero most of the time,

it doesn't stop you, does it?

If you're smart, then 15 minutes later, you go back and delete it because you think, I was just upset.

I don't know why I tweeted this.

I don't know why I posted this.

shared this to my story.

Because you have the brain of an ape.

Because when you see something that upsets you, you pounce.

Because the only thing you're capable of processing is that You want to feel important.

So you can't ignore me.

You love me.

Even if you say you hate me.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
