Advice for Young People: DO NOT REPRODUCE!!!
Pumping out units, I mean *kids, is NOT the solution/remedy/cure for problems/issues such as: boredom, poverty, selfishness, low IQ, **megalomania, shallowness, emptiness, hero complex, narcissism, virtue signalling syndrome. Please find a more useful/constructive hobby. 😉
**obsession with the exercise of power
*’kids’, aka future: pharmaceutical/medical industrial complex’ life long clients/victims, prison/military industrial complex clients/victims, fascists, satanists, totalitarian single digit iq nobodies, communists, marxists, bolsheviks, leninists, SJWs, BLMs, socialists, mercenaries, welfare/benefit queens/kings, cartel members, starving people, broke(n)/bankrupt people from all points of views, hitmen/hitwomen, murderers, witches/warlocks who curse others, murderers wearing uniforms-badges/white coats-stethoscopes/suits-ties, abused people, abusers/users, drunkards, drug addicts, drug dealers, alcoholics, homeless, gang/mafia members, suicide victims, bullies, bullied people, torturers, tortured people, mentally and physically handicapped people, orphans, victims of organ harvesting and human trafficking, single mother victims, dead soldiers, racist group gang members, prostitutes, residents of hell, debt slaves, suckers to participate in the rat race that enables the world wide criminal syndicate(royalty, bankers etc.) to stay rich and become richer.
Please keep marrying and reproducing. Keep the cycle of misery, suffering and death going, this only helps us the rich/wealthy stay rich and get richer. ;)
With love,
The World Wide Criminal Syndicate: Royalty/Bankers/Industrialists/’Insuranceists’
Here is a cool reason/true story on why you should pump out more units(kid): ‘’It is a sad day as I watch grown people shove their parents into the grave to take their spoils. have watched my cousins kill their parents early by running up their credit, mortgaging their homes, and then having the morphine pumped in them and even one of my cousins even told his mom that she would die today, as he gave permission for the morphine.
She had a trake down her throat,s o she could not defend herself, but when he told her that… she looked at me and mom as her eyes got big as silver dollars with fear… my other cousin shoved her mom in a back bedroom for two years and gambled her 2400 a month away. My aunt finally got hold of a phone and called 911… and finally got out of her daughters hell… but then the hospess dropped her and broke her legs and hip and they finished her off with morphine.
My other aunt died with liver cancer as her kids fought over her funeral money, as they told her to go on and die.
My uncle had a son on crack that pushed him on in the box and these siblings all fell in one years time. Now my siblings are trying to push my mom in the box to get at her money and the sad thing is my mom knows it. I have tried to keep my two sisters off of my mom but they are constantly calling her and demanding that my mom buys them a house so they can leave their husbands. And my hands are tied. My ex and children robbed me a few years back so i know what’s going on but my hands are tied. This is a sad day that we have come to. My mom would fair out better if she had less money but the vultures are swarming. This is so sad and my sisters were raised better.‘’
There are a million statistics showing how single mothers are a scourge on humanity. Don’t perpetuate this cycle of single mothers raising single mothers and boys who end up in prison. Think of the misery you will be causing to an innocent child. While the potential is there to make barren couples happy, there is also the likelihood that you will be enabling a single mother to ruin another child. YOUR child.
As long as the government is fighting unwinnable wars, they will need bodies. Paying single moms to spit out children (through government welfare) while discouraging abortions is going to create more single mothers in poverty; Uncle Sam is hoping the men end up in the military while the women become knocked-up single moms just like their mothers did. If the men turn out to be useless, they can always be part of the industrial prison complex instead.
“The aim of totalitarian education has never been to install convictions but to destroy the capacity to form any. One of the greatest advantages of the totalitarian elites of the twenties and thirties was to turn any statement of fact into question of motive.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exists”…

2:25 It's the age of AI and we're still yet with one foot in the old age of books. Should be not be recommending the likes of Grok and other general transformer models, such as GPT-4 for which I am creating a GPT to be a study pal for my son to enhance and augment his secondary school learning journey?
- be useful in life
- read a lot of books, try to ingest as much information as you can
- good general knowledge, try to learn a little bit about a lot of things
- learn as much as possible
You can also be born rich like Elon, that surely helps.
@@TomasxJK yes it does . surely ...
@@TomasxJK lmao exactly
@@TomasxJK whether he's born rich or not, he'll attain the position he has right now with his kind of mindset.
@@kasavaman007 exactly
1. Try to be useful to people around you
2. Use the mental tools of physics and apply them broadly in life
3. Read a lot of books = learn as much as possible
4. Try to find something you’re good at and that you enjoy doing
5. Create more than you consume
6. Celebrate other people
He tried to be useful. He may even have succeeded to a degree, but I have a feeling a lot of his investors and a few ex-twitter staff would beg to differ. And I doubt he celebrated any of them.
Well explained in a short manner

0:30 Try to be useful
0:43 Are you contributing more than you consume?
1:10 The people you should want as leaders, are people who don't want to be leaders
1:36 Use the metal/mental tools of physics and apply them broadly in life
2:23 I'd encourage people to read a lot of books
2:28 Try to ingest as much information as you can
2:44 Try to learn about a lot of things (so you can see what you're interested in)
3:35 Try to find an overlap between what you're talented and interested in
4:21 As a kid I read through an encyclopedia
5:07 I put a lot of stock and have a lot of respect for people who put in an honest days work doing useful things
5:19 Don't have a zero-sum mindset. Have a grow the pie mindset
6:52 Create more than you consume
Tqq
You started being useful right after watching this video
there is no "should want"
people u want to be leader are people who don't want
I thought he said 'meta' tools in physics
Which encyclopedia should I buy like the one he is talking about???
When Musk said "It's very hard to be useful". Damn I felt that!
I think he's talking about a mindset where we can truly evaluate ourselves and find a way to add true value to the society. In the process of doing so, the pie can not help but grow in this abundance mindset, thereby reaping the consequential reward of a growing pie.
❤
Great to see a young person thinking deep about life. May you achieve whatever you want and a net positive impact on society 🙏
😎
So hard, in fact, that he never quite managed to get there.
Elon is my 6 year old kid's hero. He puts so much effort in learning math and building robots with his lego so one day he'll grow up to be like Elon Musk. I feel lucky that my kid gets to live in a time when he's inspired by a living legend. Cheers from Palestine!
palestine? ..😍
Shows a great dad! I hope to inspire my one year old to have the same ambitions by the time he is six
Free Palestine from Israel
Wish my little brother is like that he's the type of kid that watches RUclipsrs and plays on the Ipad all day
@@DS_Gaurav dude you shouldn't say that especially as an Indian
"The people you want as leaders are the people who don't want to be leaders." that's why you always see talentless hacks talk about 'leadership' all the time while the best potential leaders are busy solving problems and talking about real stuff
Game of Thrones true teacher
yes but your leader is not your president, but people who you don't actually see on television. They run a world and play/decide true life monopoly and economy.
@@charliecho5392 To the sincere student, yes. To the charlatan, no.
sooo true
Nailed it to the point bruh..
I much prefer this interview to the Joe Rogan one. This is so much more insightful and interesting. Kudos to Lex Fridmann for doing such a good job.
@@michaelfrazia4569 that’s a fair point.
Rogan is an alpha male, a hunter, fighter, and all around popular dude. Elon is the antithesis of Rogan, an unpopular geek kid, who grew to become the greatest industrialist of the 21st century, and who achieved so much already that people have learned to respect and love him. So it's also very interesting to see these 2 different categories of alpha males interact in the same room for hours, because they don't seem to understand each other that well, but they are trying to.
@@jontakaki503 Good point.
@@michaelfrazia4569 👍
But he smoked weed
lex is the best person to interview elon musk. they both try to be precise in expressing their thoughts. lex speaks slowly for that reason. musk pauses on between words for the same reason. i love them both!

"Are you contributing more than you consume" with all the information and data constantly coming at us nowadays thats key. Love this man.
Dumb Money was a film made thinking in this weird Testa's owner?
I enjoyed watching this video very much.Wisdom at the highest level.
When he said "I would encourage people to read broadly in many different subject areas.." he *alluded to the point of having a multidisciplinary approach to reality, thus having a superior understanding of the workings of the world.*
Yup
hows this have so many upvotes
I don’t consider this a good advice
@@user-uwo Why not? No disrespect though just want to know
To have a surface-level understanding of a bunch of different topics is wonderful, but not if you're planning on starting a company for each and every subject you've read a single book about.
Taking the 101 class of many subjects in college really helps. I had no idea I loved programming and computer science until I took a programming 101 class randomly. You can read and learn on your own but having a guided study with a prof and peers really gives you a better experience if you can afford to go to school.
Who actually REALLY can afford to go to school. You do the whole process come out with a piece a paper and a massive debt that weighs two times the paper.
@@chris284able the advice to take a bunch of intro-level courses for around $10k a class may be one of the worst pieces of advice I’ve ever heard.
Does butterfly know the internet exists?
Hmm... I'm learning programming on my own and I feel like it's not for me...
@@frog6054 life is not about finding yourself its creating yourself

First time a full knowledge base interview.Great questions sir🙏😍
Lex after a while can you please make a life advice marathon video? Like for an hour of advice from your podcasts.
you could make it yourself
Positive net contribution. I love how he framed it. I will aspire to that
Dumb Money was a film made thinking in this weird Testa's owner?
Excellent question with an excellent answer. Well done gentlemen.
Dumb Money was a film made thinking in this weird Testa's owner?
I'm glad I have a broad understanding of things I can say it's gotten me further than most things in life.
It's so much more enjoyable listening to an interview with two introverts, flows much better than say (extroverted) Rogan's do, interrupting his guests. Two books Elon recommends: Man's search for Meaning, and The Fourth Turning. Both INCREDIBLY important reads.
You got more Important reads on yo list?
I wish there were less interruptions, though the questions are good.
i think that being useful is to try to give a positive influence on your area for instance : I am a transport engineer and i try my best to serve transport in areas that lack this service ... this is real impact
outstanding sharing of knowledge and ideas about life as well :)
Your podcasts are AMAZING! Great questions, communication and no bs.
Trying to learn a little about a lot of things is the best advice I think he gave, with the emphasis on reading as much as you can
its also a huge pitfall for many people. Learning things on surface level often has no value apart from personal entertainment or trivia nights at the pub. You fall into the trap of 'only doing the fun things' of a given discipline and not building a solid foundation. You need to remember Elons work ethic borders on insanity, the guy regulary pulls 100 hour work weeks.
@@Heopful yes it's better to read brittanica at Sunday😅😚
@@Heopful the purpose of reading broadly is to find an area of focus.
Learning about everything helps you, consciously and unconciously, have a good approach to better decisions.
Great points about creating more pie through excitement. I notice more and more people operating from very jaded and pessimistic view points. Not sure that a negative mindset has ever been beneficial in my life. We should all be more like kids who were interested in learning about life and nurturing a creative work ethic through playful joyous thinking.
More pie?
I dont understand this economic pie what it is @zane mcminn can please 🙏 explain to me
im crying this is so beautiful Mr McMinn ty
@@amarsinghpatil6414 he is saying there is no limit on how much cash there is in society. We make more money when we work together vs trying to steal business from your competitors
@@amarsinghpatil6414 your growth doesnt mean somebody loss
I love this. Please do more like this!
Lex is a great interviewer. They both are great. Both are needed. 2 sides to everyone. One playful one a little more serious.
Lex just a suggestion, could you have a playlist for each guest you have?
Makes it difficult to rewatch something when you have to a scroll through other videos 😬
I agree with the reading, but experience is so much more valuable especially when it's something you don't want to experience.
Knowledge vs wisdom.
@@ArunKumar-pu8gi experiencing is knowledge, observing your experience (and observing others experiences) is wisdom
I started my business with no experience
@@nakedman1501 I guess you were…….…. Naked.
Short version:
1. be useful
2. read the encyclopedia
3. work to build/encourage those around you (no zero-sum mindset)
@Lex Clips really nice podcast!!!
Thank you for this wisdom
Can anyone please give me the link of the book Elon recommend " condensed encyclopaedia Britannica"!!!! I searched online but didn't get the accurate one
Really cool advice. Thank you!
Hello greetings from Elon musks where are you chatting from??
which encyclopedia is he talking about and where can I buy one?
Thanks for advice..😀
If kids these days listen to his advice and read broadly, instead of wasting their time on social media, the world will turn out to be a better place
Truly
True words, everyone is already a social media zombie.
I read one book a week, from science fiction, phislosphy, history, to self-help. I am a 14-year-old from India, and I'm trying to build some really cool (at least for me) things. But you know what? I don't even have one friend because they find me boring and a nerd.
The point is, life is hard and it's supposed to be. But you have to choose the reason behind the pain you are experiencing, either is it for growth, isolation, discipline, or regret.
Learn as much as possible.. my motto as well.
This is the best video I came across in my life.small video but outstanding information ❤. Thank you lex
Thank you so much. Super insightful
Optimising business process and eliminating brain-dead bureaucracy with machine learning is my life's meaning, it's satisfying
Me too 💪
RevOps
Amazing how poorly some profitable businesses are
Poorly run*
@@VisionCS2 what is revops ?
Be useful. Have a net positive contribution to society. Produce more than you consume. Learn as much as possible. Read a lot of books in a lot of different subjects. Consume a lot of knowledge in order to find your niche, i.e. what you like to do and what you are inherently good at.
produce more than consume actual meaning
He mentioned this question "what is the meaning of life" in a couple of his interviews, I think whoever has this question in mind and his life revolves around this question is the one who can actually be useful and have an impact on the people and maybe he would be able to create this impact on the world.
simple and straight answer, this what i needed all of it was so obvious but when someone speaks it out for you, you tend to believe and take action.
"mental tool of physics" 1:30 that ws interesting I would have probed him more on that.
First principles thinking is what I think he's referring to
1. Bring value more than you consume
2. Apply physics as much possible
3. Consume as much info possible, general knowledge. > know what you interest in
4. Talk to people from various age and occupation
5. Talent + interest
Create more than you consume, have a growth mindset.
Awesome !! Adding value to your life is to "ADD" something to the society
Thanks for good motivation for the young kids
Hello greetings from Elon musks where are you chatting from??
Be useful. Good advice.
True.
To add value to another’s life often means your sharing your life, hopes, dreams and faith. The process of relating encompassing a listening ear, words of encouragement, leading by example, sharing one’s failures being real instead of fake. Knowing that one’s prayers can influence the positive growth in another also adds value.
There's technical programs too!
A lot of people wanting Joe to be more like this but forget this is Lex's background. Joe's background is comedy and commentating but he paved the way for this to happen. I definitely agree though that this interview is better than Joes but love both.
That was a awesome conversation 🎉
And then the interview is epic!❤ thank you!!🎉❤❤
Putting out 6-12 minutes of the show in pieces like this is perfect!! I listen now more than ever. Very Rogany of him to do, I love it
Lex is what I wish joe Rogan could do, I love lex for his intellect & his questions. Love you Lex hope for the best for 2022!
You are comparing a totally different type of person to Lex. Joe Rogan is much less academically experienced and less intellectual, but more socially nimble.
I lost my job during the pandemic , I started this channel believing thing will get better 🙏🏻
Better add captions
For me:
1. Try to be useful to people around you
2. Use the mental tools of physics and apply them broadly in life
3. Read a lot of books = learn as much as possible
4. Try to find something you’re good at and that you enjoy doing
5. Create more than you consume
6. Celebrate other people
Wdym by mental tools of physics? I have been studying Physics for the past 4 years yet I don't know if I know the fundamental mental tools yet??
The guy is doing something and here you are, checking what others think of him without making a detemination.
7:00 WOW
Appreciating others help one self feel good and others, a kind of moral and mental push to overcome their limitations and comfort zone
When i was in 4th grade i would always talk and class and my teacher at the time Ms.Brown sat me by myself next to her desk and the class library and i would read the encyclopedia and the dictionary and other books and I feel thats when my logic and concesiones started to grow
I love that Elon doesn't care if it's awkward to not talk before he's done thinking about questions before he answers them. No wonder this guy's so successful, he has an incredible way of seeing the world that's so different than most.
Agreed, I appreciate when people take their time to speak something thought out.
But he wants to terraform Mars?! He’s part of the WEF at Davos. Why terraform another planet that is showing us what we are doing to ours as we speak!? He and the other elite MF’s have the ability to transform this planet while we’re already on it. Spread the wealth and take care of one another. Musk is a joke! If we can’t work together here, how the hell are we going to work together on Mars?! Lol.
@@tuckerhowie1 don’t skip your meds man.
@@clickbaitpolice1750 Will do brother. I’ll stick with my red pills while you swallow your blue pills.😉🤙🏼
@@tuckerhowie1 While your point is true, at least Musk is not the sole one who is destroying the world. It's the whole economic system and behavior psychology of people that needs to be solved in order to fix the problems on Earth.
3:50 this hit home for me! I've been lucky enough to be a freelancer and work from home...but I'm now at the point I hate the business I run! I'm ready for a new challenge something that excites me to get up
This is more interesting . Love it
Read books people. A small room with books in it is no longer a small room.
“Try to have a positive net contribution on society.”
Wow, I’ve never heard it put that way.
That's pretty basic stuff
My parents big purchase when I was a kid was a big set of encyclopedias, on all topics also the Webster dictionary to look up any definitions. We used them for school projects but also my parents were big on home projects. This is a big thing I passed to my children. It's extremely helpful to have a great basement to knowledge on all topics. Once you retain lots of information it opens the mind up to network and make great connections to everything weather, animals, science... Then as you get older things you see make sense and come together as a whole. Great advice, great teaching
Trying to do this at the moment, but I feel like I want I do doesn't necessarily help the world.
I'm in my early 20s working in marketing, and although I do like it I wish I was doing something that was building something more important like Elon is
I always read the Encyclopedia Britannica as a child. It was my favorite series and there was allllways something new to read and learn in them
Shame they don't make the physical encyclopedia anymore.
You dont actually learn anything
@@RunescapeWhack I sure as hell learned to read at an early age with a vocabulary that far surpassed my classmates.
I love Elon, he has been of great value and impact to me. Just be useful in life, that's it.
6:03 *'Sapiens' by Yuval Noa Harari.*
Great advices
He is a techno genius, yes. But he also shares some of the most profound things in a very eloquent and easy to understand manner.
The nice thing about a conversation between socially awkward individuals is that they manage to get straight to the point without having to worry of risk of confusing or boring the listener.
Always knowing a little more than is required is a good boost to personal and professional development 🙌
Love it! Thank you. 🦔
_”Pie is not fixed.”_ - Elon Musk 🥧
I, too, skimmed through the encyclopedia as a kid. We didn’t have iPads, computers or even allowed to watch TV.
Reading is one of the best ways to learn no doubt. My kids won’t have any devices till they’re at least 14 or 15 seriously.

@Elon Musk for a year and a half! Your my hero!! Do you know that Elonni.?
In all educational career the thing we dont get is "spirituality". Which is very necessary n base for peace of mind n heart n it also saves humanity. We miss this component in the beginning n we search for it for the whole life.
3:24 The of the meanings of life to me, is to give life a meaning.
How to be succesful?
Steve Jobs: Say no to things, focus on something.
Elon Musk: Try to learn a little bit about a lot of things.
For sure intelligent famous rich people know what is right, right? Just think for yourself. Nobody knows whats better for you except you yourself.
Nature is where knowledge is
Elon Musk: Try to learn a little bit about a lot of things. It’s to find what you’re good at and focus on it
Elon is rockin that haircut son.

Can we get some advice for old people (or middle-aged people)?
Thanx Lex
actually that is brilliant advice. 60 years ago, we learned that skin color doesn't determine if you are better or worse than others. I am hoping that young people can realize that just because you think differently than others or if you are smarter than others, it doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme. That we're all in this together, and that no one should ever be left behind in the game of life.
I'd like to see evidence of your first point. As most evidence points towards the contrary.
@@megalaxmax9979 what are u talking about?

No ones cares about skin color outside of America. You guys are goddamn obsessed with skin color.
@@megalaxmax9979 People don't care about skin color....I've been in and lived and worked in most states north and south and 99.9 % of people DO NOT care about that. We were taught its the content of character and that's it. All I've seen is people getting along. But since 2008 (look at the medias use of racist language since then, the graph looks like a hockey stick...thanks Obama and cohorts) The media and left screech about racism but never really find any GENUINE cases...always a hoax by attention seekers. Let's find these racists and root them out...where are they? They don't exist. The fact that you buy into this hook line and sinker is sad and scary. Like I tell my grandson...anyone who brings up skin color and screeches about hate generally is the one that is the real racist..must be in their head deep. They are the one with mental problems.
Thought he was gonna say “ Clean your room!”
This was good!
Fascinating ❤.

could anybody explain what are the mental tools which elon is talking about? how can we apply in daily life?
