1
I love this one, particularly for porn addiction, use porn anytime you want, be aware of the porn,
2
but your job is to make sure that the porn
3
that you use is always more enjoyable than the last time you use porn.
4
You have to figure out a way to make porn super enjoyable, like, like whatever you have to do,
5
like candles, whatever you got to do to like make porn more and more enjoyable.
6
I didn't mean like quick pleasure i mean like you're really savoring feeling the pleasure
7
you can do the same thing with potato chips
8
if someone actually does that it like disrupts bad habits unbelievably quickly on the surface what
9
that sounds like is you uh speed running the hedonic treadmill and uh
10
that oh well this is going to make the the habit
11
even more alluring even more addictive even even more uh self -reinforcing why is
12
that not the case why does it do something else yeah
13
so most of the time the person who's doing it is trying to escape an emotional experience.
14
So I'm going to use porn so I don't have to think about something, not have to be in pain,
15
not have to, so I can cure my anxiety in that moment, in that second.
16
This is bringing such a deep amount of presence to it.
17
To actually enjoy it, you actually have to have presence.
18
And then you start to find out is that the enjoyment is far better than what porn was giving you.
19
There's a neuroscience version.
20
Please.
21
So I think, so when he says, enjoy porn, notice what he also says.
22
Don't tug one out, bro.
23
Yeah.
24
Right?
25
So this is what I think is really interesting.
26
A lot of people don't realize pleasure and contentment are inversely related.
27
Okay?
28
So the more pleasure you have in your life, the less content you'll be.
29
And this is down to the neuroscience level so dopamine
30
and serotonin are like this is rough but if you guys want to get complicated we can
31
dopamine and serotonin are like inversely related so
32
if you look at someone who has a highly dopaminergic life like the person i wanted to be right
33
so a lot of sex a lot of affairs pointing at you not me
34
i'm just saying a lot of a lot of or as much anal as you can handle
35
just have anal sex bro
36
just say yes to anal that's gonna be i have i have practical teachings too i have practical teachings too
37
so so so so literally like if you
38
if you live a dopaminergic lifestyle you will be your serotonin levels will drop
39
and so you'll become discontent and then you chase dopamine
40
so dopamine is a substitute for serotonin and then what we find is
41
that as people become more content their draw for dopamine decreases on average would you say
42
that more people have a dopamine problem than a serotonin problem they're using
43
that they're chasing after that whereas
44
if they were more in i always think about dopamine chris serotonin chris
45
and cortisol chris like dopamine chris is achieving things
46
and making new 24 -hour play records on the channel serotonin chris is uh relaxing in a hammock
47
and cortisol chris is arguing about something over email what's the word
48
you're using chris chris himself chris oh oh okay
49
i was like oh i was gonna say oxytocin chris oxytocin chris yeah scared
50
that it's gonna go away anal sex that's all three
51
i'm sorry for opening that door serotonin problem more people in dopamine
52
so so i'd say that you can't have one problem without the other right
53
so the whole point is that they're related so
54
if you have a dopaminergic that's a problem
55
if you live a dopaminergic lifestyle your serotonin by definition is going to be low
56
and if you look at these yogis in the himalayas they're i mean we no one's doing
57
interest not even intracellular intercellular measurements of dopamine
58
and serotonin between neurons like no one's like doing brain biopsies to measure that stuff so this is basically functional neuroscience.
59
But if you look at like a yogi, a yogi is content.
60
And so they can still engage in pleasure.
61
But that contentment is also enters the endocannabinoids circuitry.
62
But if you think about your piece, right, if I am fundamentally content,
63
and I think this is what I'd love to get to the methodology of that bifurcation that you were talking about,
64
because I think this is what Connor's talking about, is like, if you are confident in yourself, if you're relationally connected, the fuel that dopamine,
65
the problems that dopamine solves actually disappear.
66
And I think that's what he's talking about as well, which is like, if you don't tug one out,
67
which by the way, is the hard part if you're addicted, right?
68
Especially if you're watching pulling the candles on.
69
Right.
70
There comes a time where I just get outgunned in these conversations.
71
It's like, I don't even know.
72
How many of them want to have that?
73
And so I think one day I'll be strong enough.
74
One day.
75
One day.
76
So we get to this point where what I really like about that exercise, it's a shift to serotonin.
77
It's a shift.
78
This is exactly the potato chip exercise.
79
When you start to settle in awareness, when you become aware of something, the bite of it like literally decreases.
80
And there's some fascinating neuroscience about this where like, I don't know if this kind of makes sense, but you know, if I,
81
you know, the difference between people who dance and people who don't know how to dance.
82
Confidence.
83
Once that is traumatized.
84
So, so I think one, one group tries to do it and one group doesn't try to do it.
85
Does that make sense?
86
Yeah, I get what you're saying.
87
Right?
88
So something really interesting happens.
89
So if I were to like give you guys like something to eat and I tell you consciously control every movement,
90
you would not be able to chew.
91
If I tell you consciously, okay, contract the calf, now lift, now extend the foot, now put it down.
92
So anytime you become aware of something, something really interesting happens.
93
It's the anterior cingulate cortex.
94
Once that turns on and you become aware of something, the automaticity of the brain turns off, right?
95
So I think this serotonergic circuit is really, I mean, it's fascinating, but like the more aware you become, things just lose their power.
96
Like the power that emotions have over you, if you really lean into the emotion and you feel that emotion, that reckoning of pain, right?
97
Like when, when you actually face that reckoning, when you face the music, the strength that it has to control you actually goes away.
98
That's cool.
99
You create a pattern interrupt, right?
100
Like when you think about the porn example, somebody's feeling something, they're anxious, they're angry, they're bored, they're lonely.
101
They don't want to feel that way.
102
Their brain has created a, uh, cause our brains are largely pattern recognition machines
103
and they're looking for patterns to largely keep us safe and
104
so for a lot of guys they're watching porn they're re -watching porn
105
because they feel a certain way that they don't want to feel
106
and their brain has learned oh and i feel this
107
when this emotion pops up in my body i go jerk off
108
and that cycle plays out
109
and they have a very specific cycle there's a cycle of how they do it
110
and when they do it and
111
and how they're feeling before there's like there's a whole yeah there's a whole cycle
112
that plays out and then they always feel a specific way after
113
which is usually shame regret you know
114
it's like what's the post not regret right it's like what the was i just watching um
115
and so what joe's talking about is creating
116
a different type of confrontation or a type of confrontation that creates a different pattern
117
that starts to slow things down
118
and accentuate from a place of like okay what am i
119
actually feeling what i've given to guys is set a timer go sit down go breathe
120
and feel into what you're feeling and i called it the fire meditation
121
and it's like okay you're feeling something in that moment
122
that you're running from yeah
123
and you don't want to feel it you're feeling anger you're feeling loneliness you're feeling whatever it is
124
and you are avoiding it and
125
so let's move towards it right jung talked about uh carl jung talked about like
126
when you are facing a monster in a dream the worst thing you can do is run from it
127
and but this is what we do when we have habits
128
or behaviors or choices that we largely don't want to deal with
129
or emotions that we don't want deal with we run from them
130
and so what what i'll often do with men is let's turn towards it
131
so he says when there's a monster in a dream the first thing
132
that you need to do is you need to turn towards it
133
and you need to turn towards the thing
134
that you're afraid of you don't want to feel you don't want to experience
135
because not always but sometimes it'll start to dissipate you can start to build a relationship with it
136
and instead of oh i feel this way i don't want to feel
137
this way it's oh i feel this way
138
and i'm starting to build tolerance for it i'm actually still okay even though i'm feeling this way and that
139
that oftentimes is a byproduct of a family system a nervous
140
system within a family system where somebody just didn't learn how to deal with heart emotions right
141
they didn't learn how to deal with anger or anxiousness
142
or whatever it is And so they've adopted all of these methods to deal with internal states that they don't like.
143
Like a lot of dysfunction that people are experiencing is I'm experiencing an internal state that I don't like,
144
and I have all of these ways of avoiding what's happening inside of me. And
145
so I think part of what we're talking about is how
146
do we support people in turning towards the internal state that they're ultimately trying to avoid.
147
And one of the things that I say to guys all the time is like, there's no change without some form of confrontation.
148
There's no change without some form of confrontation.
149
Super union, yeah.
150
And it's like, but that's, and I think from a masculine perspective, that is something that we're really missing.
151
Like a lot of young men are, they have been neutered when it comes to confrontation.
152
They've been told that confrontation is toxic.
153
They've been told that confrontation is bad.
154
They're wrong for it and so they're really these fragile not just men
155
and i was the same way right like i you know i was okay with getting into bar fights
156
that was totally okay that type of confrontation was fine
157
but i wasn't okay with the confrontation of like wow i feel really fucking sad
158
or i feel really weak or i'm really scared about this thing
159
that type of confrontation was never taught to me and i think
160
that that's the case for
161
so many people where they're not taught how to confront the hard negative perceived negative experiences
162
that are going on inside of them a quick note lots of people tell us
163
that youtube unsubscribes them from the channel even though they already pressed it
164
so just check down there and see
165
if the subscribe button is pressed you get access to episodes before anybody else
166
if you do supports me and the show helps me to bring you bigger
167
and better guests and it makes me very happy so just go
168
and give it a tap for me i thank you
169
a quick aside you probably heard me talk about element before
170
and that's because i've started every single morning the same way for the last five years now
171
which is a cold glass of water with element in it element is an electrolyte drink mix with everything
172
that you need and nothing
173
that you don't it's a science -backed electrolyte ratio of sodium potassium
174
and magnesium no sugar no coloring no artificial ingredients it reduces muscle cramps
175
and fatigue supports brain function
176
and helps to regulate your appetite throughout the day i genuinely notice the difference
177
when i take it versus when i don't
178
which is why i don't shut up about it
179
and also why it's used by everyone from Dr. Andrew Huberman to Olympic athletes
180
and FBI sniper teams the good sniper teams not the bad ones also they have no questions asked refund policy so
181
if you don't like it for any reason they'll just give you your money back plus

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
