99,999 of those youtubers made videos for a month, saw no views and quit. Meanwhile a lot of the larger youtubers started making videos for fun back when you could only make max 10k/mo from youtube. The smaller youtubers I follow that Ive seen go from 1k subs to 10k, 50k, 100k never stopped making videos. Even if they had poor viewership
Being consistent and working hard at something THAT YOU ARE GOOD AT for a long time often works. People like to cope with luck, but most people don’t really know what real effort and patience looks like. Most business owners fail. I have a successful business. I wasn’t successful for the first 3 years, but I was making money - getting feedback - and improving. When others quit I kept going for a long time. From first hand experience watching competitors, I can tell you that the difference is in effort and caring. I’m not talking about Fortune 500 companies or the RUclipsrs making 8 figures. I’m talking about normal success, which is achievable with effort, patience, feedback, and skill.
That's pretty Damm smart my friend! I'm just guessing but seems like you're at least smarter than 70% of the people I've met over my 38 years on this planet.
Normalize people to stop asking kids what they want to be when they grow up, and ask them how much money they want to earn. and then tell them the jobs they can get
I am extremely smart. I'm working on a revolutionary new invention It's an electric pen. Its like a regular pen but it takes batteries. Its gonna be huge
Interestingly, high IQ correlates with less (medium) earnings because high IQ often equals risk aversion and if you want to make money (without nepotism) you have to take risks.
any society given with enough resources, stability and connectivity between people, would eventually devolve into a world that rewards dumb and stupidity
That's a good observation. I'm curious to the spread of data on that, if it's a linear correlation or a curve, like at the 130-140 range, does that hold true, and then after that are you able to analyze situations so well that you can calculate risk and overcome via means that aren't seen by most? But, I think the dumb people that are insanely rich are certainly the outliers. Like I don't think Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, or Elon Musk have lower than superior IQ.
I'm smart enough to know I'm dumb but not dumb enough to think I'm smart. I respect how Asmon can remain humble knowing he is gifted and to spread awareness to those who fail to be humbled.
Yeah... it's great that way if you are okay with it. I was told all my life I was gifted, I got tired of that shit but now it's hard to live without the constant ego strokes. That's what telling a kid all the time "You are incredible smart" do to a kid, specially an autistic child. I had a lot of great shit working on, got tired of the shit I had to do, so now I just want' to live with the pension the goverment gives me, work an easy and if posible stable job, no need for it to pay a lot... and just try to help some people from time time. Life has been fucking me up since forever, but it's not like I hate people or the world, I just had bad luck, if I can help at least a little bit, that's enough.
@@reachthezora1912I discovered some sleep problems a long time ago, they still are ruining my life to this day, just like you i dont hate the world or the people in it, i just accepted the situation i'm in with hope that the future will be a better place
Yeah. That's actually a good point. John Cleese marveled at how stupid people don't know they're stupid. Samuel Clemens also had many things to say. If you're stupid enough to throw it all in a certain direction, some of them hit the target. That's what Asmon did but I wouldn't call him stupid more than a deliberate idiot. He loves stupid things that logically can't work but acts in a way that he knows they can't unless unlimited energy is possible.
I got a law degree and make more money from what I learned as a carpenter and construction estimator than at law school. It's the weirdest thing but because I have a law degree, they believe my estimates are better and pay more for them, even though I use the math I learned in 5th grade to do them. It's the same thing before as after. Literally the only difference is a credential. Companies are just weird when it comes to decisions about how they spend their money.
Dood, you make a good point. I bet my MBA would make people think my bids are more accurate if I went back to the trades. I was thinking about going back to being a sparky b/c of the pay.
That's actually not weird. The fact that you were able to go to and finish a degree in law school demonstrates qualities like intelligence, tenacity, and time management. It's not about the math, it's about the intellectual qualities they are concluding you have from your education, that's why they are willing to pay more. Your law degree is essentially proof that you are a detail-oriented, intelligent individual. Unless your clients are truly stupid, they aren't thinking you're using your law degree to directly inform your quotes. It's a point of evidence that your quotes are likely to be better than someone without. I used to work for consultants in client acquisition. Stuff like this matters. Also, here's a little fun fact, the more you charge as a consultant, the more competent they assume you are. After all, if you weren't competent and highly skilled, why would you be charging that much?
Depends on the country, its laws and what you decide to do with your law degree. Do you have a bachelors? A masters? Any degree doesnt mean shit if you dont know how to use it to your advantage

I felt smart in school because I got great grades. When I became an adult, I felt stupid because most of what I learned in school didn't apply. I had to figure out by myself how to get a job, how credit works, how to manage my money, how to drive a car, etc.
Similar for me. Did alright in school, but realized that so much of success in the professional just boils down to who you know and taking credit for other people's work. Guy like me who did well in school and even at internships by just getting my work done, wasn't prepared. Now I'm undergoing a career reinvention, best of luck to all of us!!
Choosing to be stupid is hard, especially when you are a perfectionist who tries to attain or create the pinnacle of something. In a way it’s about avoiding stupidity to an extent. Perhaps that’s a paradoxical issue? If I am a perfectionist could I be stupid for trying to attain unrealistic results? Maybe I’m looking too deeply in that. Choosing to be stupid (consciously) may be difficult, but being “stupid” is simply unavoidable. But it’s a matter of understanding the difference between honest ignorance and stupidity.
stopped listening to this guy when he downplays the ability to memorize the periodic table, then goes on to glaze himself up by saying he have the intelligence of "memory". Bruh, those people who memorize the periodic table have exact same ability
If you find it hard to choose to be stupid, you are not stupid enough. The same is true with being intelligent. It is a state. Also, I don't think we have as much free will as we believe we do, so we are products of a biological lottery. Also, making money is not easy if you are not in your natural state; it is stressful.

My brother is a surgeron and my sister in law is a generalist doctor. My brother, despite many years of study, is only about to finish his last years of specialization (orthopedy, vertebral column), and so far, he gain a little more than 2.5k a month, this will explode as soon as he have his final diplone and can go as a freelancer working for hospitals as a surgeron. My sister in law could basically gain the same as he do now as a generalist, but in the meantime she opened her own medical center and she have 5 doctors and 3 kinesitherapeuts, and a few other profession that I cannot remember, and now she is very confortable. On top of that, she specialized in sport medecine and she gain a lot from caring about athletes in my country. Add to that that she get paid a lot for participating in international meetings about medecine and stuff, and she is part of a greater council of medecine, she gain a TON of money. She makes probably the same that my brother will make, or barely less, when he end his formations. I am a garderner, team leader in a gardening company. I run about 2.2k euro per month. I have no chance of getting paid more as is, my best chance of growing would be to become a foreman, for a few hundreds euro more. My only way of making more money this way would be to launch my own company, but the states would tax me to death and I would have to work for 10 years without saving any penny for myself before my investments become an income. So the myth that doctors don't gain money is wrong. They do, more than normal workers. Unless you are ready to do shady stuff like working black, cheating the state, and scamming the clients.
The one thing I see common amongst all these influencers shown at the start is they are not very self conscious. They are also most of the time very self centered and lack empathy. I believe it's a primary trait in sociopaths. None of this I mean as an insult. I Sometimes wish I had sociopathic tendencies because I sometimes definitely could do without that voice inside my head telling me to abide by my morals. And yes Asmon shares a lot of these traits. How many times have we heard him clinically dissect the people virtue signaling and say they aren't really empathetic because they own smartphones made by slaves? How many times he himself admits that he doesn't care enough to pay 100$ more for a blood free smartphone? See there are times when I have had to put stone on heart and say or be cruel to someone because they deserved such ire. But afterwards after doing that necessary act, I would agonise over it, I would look for justifications try to feel less shitty day after day until the fresh memory gets caloused over and I can finally stop feeling the regret as sharply. That feeling doesn't exist in guys line Logan and even Asmond. They will tell you what is what, be cruel or sharp if necessary and not give a single thought again about it unless it gets brought up to them. That's how people like them work. And man do I wish I was like that sometimes. Anyways internet clinical psych eval done, let's move on.
Your right, and another comment brought up I think another main factor in success being that having more IQ often comming with higher risk aversion- but ultimately success often comes with a degree of risk. This isn't all encompassing, but I think there is a degree of truth in that. The thing I notice about many of the top RUclipsrs though is that they also were lucky to be around at the right time- aka since the beginning. This may be a hot take, but I don't think as many would be as popular if they arrived on the platform at a later time. The reason I think this is important is while they probably observed and learned what is important on the platform over time that was NOT a main factor for many of their success. Objectively speaking, it is easier to be successful in this time if you have the skill to observe trends, whereas authenticity and community building content was more appreciated in the past. But a lot of people's integrity get in the way of trend chasing and I guess that's where having more sociopathic or high-risk behavior plays an important factor now and where the new-age top creators come in hot.
I feel the exact same. I kinda envy people who are more cut throat that I can be. I feel bad for years sometimes.. because I had to be mean or confront a person who deserves it. I don't want to lose the "voice" that keeps me in check. I just wish it could stfu about a topic and let it go.
@@UncreativePF the person talking about IQ and risk aversion has no idea what they are talking about. Saying "higher IQ means higher risk aversion" sounds smart except when you look at people like Elon Musk and Bill Gates and pretty much every other billionaire. They have taken incredible risks and yet also have genius level intellects. Warren might be an outlier with IQ, but he is also extremely risk averse so he also disproves this nonsense.
well this person is misrepresenting the study, what it actually is is that iq and income are correlated up to a certain point and then it stops, then its random after that. also these are people making calculated risks, i believe thats different than impulsive risk taking behavior associated with an undeveloped frontal lobe, but there are many reasons for that, some iq related and some behavioral or chemical, its just over simplifying everything and misrepresenting or trying to interpret the data and correlations as causations@@mistere5857
@@mistere5857both Musk and Gates weren't as risky. You or me risk starting business and we're in big debt if we fail with pretty bad perpectives, them failing would still leave them pretty rich above 99% of population, just not 99.99999%.
Hi! I'm Theo! I made the video. I wanted to say that Asmongold is super inspirational for me because he's more popular than most kpop groups without any of the plastic surgery, designers, or make up artists. Asmongold is proof that people can appreciate you for who you are, that you don't have to conform to society for people to like you.
As a counter point from a theoretical physics Phd student.. you dont become a mathematician just by "being able to do some calculations".. you have to be extremely creative and talented and hard-working in order to succeed on a professional level.. same is true for Chemistry.. you dont become a successful chemist just "being able to remember the periodic table".. I find the argument "oh he is a scientist, he must be smart" argument kinda dismissive the hard work and efforts people put in order to succeed.. in my opinion becoming a successful scientist has way more to do with creativity, dedication and hard work than just being smart.. sure being intelligent obviously helps, but even Einstein said that being a Genius is 1% talent and 99% hard work"
@@animationai9109yeah I skipped school about 80% of the time, in high school I literally only attended school for 2 days in the year to do exams, and I got A+ grades in everything. I didn't even study or try at all. And honestly I find that really fucking weird and I have no idea why or how that happened. Other people seem to study so much but still struggle. I mean one of the main reasons I skipped school was because it felt so dumb and pointless, like all the stuff they were teaching I already knew. I'm not trying to brag or anything, just saying it how it is. And I was right, school was pointless lol. I did watch a lot of science shows and shit like that so that's probably why I knew a lot
Prime is virtually impossible to sell in New Zealand. There was a supermarket clearance sale with 500ml bottles going for 50 cents each...and they still couldn't get rid of them.

Same in Europe. Prime is going 45 cents / bottle now. Regular price 2 euro’s. Imagine what kind of shit chemical bomb it is. Even coke NEVER goes less than 1 euro. This disgusting toxic poison should be banned.

Yeah but when you have optimized your rent and other baseline expenses as much as you can and you're still only left with a couple of hundred dollars per month you can't really become any more smart in that regard. If you want to have any money left over to spend on hobbies and be able to save for a reasonable retirement you need to make a certain amount of money.
Since I started playing DnD I started to believe in luck, because my dice rolls are way too consistently shit. DM even felt bad for me and gave me a lot of buffs to compensate for my luck... it's just sad.
Luck is part of the success. By posting vids often and consistently, u increase ur chances of blowing up. Some ppl get big within 6 years of posting, others in less than 2 years. It’s different for everyone
At this point these kinds of videos just seems like bitter jealousy to me. There are a lot of smart people who “made it” too, even on social media. Both “smart” and “dumb” people can be rich that’s just life.
Well let us compare the subset of rich people who are smart and rich people who are Adin ross aka "Fasist". The OG video has a point but what Asmongold said hits the nail on the mark
It`s all in the luck, capabilities of an individual and other people that may help them or not, the difference lays in the fact that the "Dumb" or "stupid" individuals are used by other and lose something as a tradeoff (not knowing about it)
Try to measure everyone by their ability to climb a tree and you'll miss the people whoa re good runners, craftsman, etc. There are different versions of smart and they are all valid. Asmongold is an incredibly smart businessman and content creator who plays the fool for his audience and people believe the fool part far too much sometimes :D.
Asmo is confusing intelligence with skill, or even talent.. Tom Brady has an astounding skill in football, you could even attribute it to a natural talent or aptitude for it. That doesn't make him intelligent .. and it doesn't mean intelligence has millions of "Spectrums". That stems from a general lacking of being able to describe a situation, and a need to label it. Someone saying "I'm stupid when it comes to laundry" is not actually stupid. A person does not go from stupid to intelligent based on what they are dealing with. It's just a lack of skill. Intelligence is a broad innate ability to understand and use information without needing to be coaxed into it. The monkey is not showing intelligence, it's showing repetitive learning to achieve a desired outcome. It was taught what it needed to do to get rewarded, and learned to repeat it. Do it enough times and you achieve professionalism / mastery of the task; which is why it looks so amazing. It's probably had to do nothing but that game / puzzle the entire time .. like watching a speedrunner who only plays that game for hundreds / thousands of hours doing the same task .. when other people would never spend the same amount of time doing it. Psychologists started creating these boxed terms like "emotional intelligence" because it looked good on their thesis, and it makes people feel good thinking they're now part of a group of people who excel at something they didn't think they did before. It's like participation trophies for the mind. I took those courses, and they're generally nonsense; like listening to a preschool teacher try to explain how learn your ABCs by looking at animal pictures. Except you aren't learning to read .. you're being told a Giraffe represents your ability to have empathy for a stranger's situation you know nothing about, and an Elephant is why boundaries starts with U. Everyone is intelligent to a degree, animals and bugs are intelligent to a degree. It's all relative to each other, and what seems more amazing to you than not.
Yeah i think this is true. Usually people who have high emotional or social intelligence spend more time with people the average and thus more hours learning. It just comes from their environment and intrinsic interests.
I think the problem is the fact that you don't need to provide value or sell products to be rich, you just need the investors to believe that you provide value and boom you're rich.

I've said it before but you are legitimately blessed with great memory man. Like I remember all those things you've said as examples, but I can't bring them up as readily as you have when making parallels, dissecting a situation, etc. Never met anyone really that can do that as readily as you do because a lot of us have to constantly sharpen our memory. You seem to just straight up have incredible memory at a constant
The RUclipsr doesn't understand why PhDs are not millionaires. A lot of people who do advanced technical degrees know their passion, and they set that as the goal of their life. Most of us who have a PhD or some specialized skills think money as a side quest: It is nice to have money, and I might spend a few years of our lives to make some. But we devote our time and energy to go straight towards our goal, and not taking the detour of "getting rich". Only two kinds of people set money as their life goal and gauge people's success by the amount of money they earn: they are people who are passionate in making money, and people who couldn't find their passion and goal in their life. For example, Asmongold likes to stream. So what did he do? He filmed videos with hand camera when he was younger (because that was the only viable media back then), and then he started streaming when Internet streaming starts to become readily available. He didn't take a detour: studying an MBA, then becoming a trader in some ibank to get rich, then starting to learn to stream at his late 40s when he retires. He went from point A to point B directly: just went ahead and streamed WoW. Him getting somewhat rich is just a side effect of spending a lot of time on his passion. People who are passionate in painting devote their life in painting, not getting a business degree or building a start-up business. Same with musicians. Same with scientists. I went to study science because I am passionate about the nature and how it works. How much salary my PhD will bring me is the least of my concerns. Money is a detour. We'd like to go towards our goal/passion on a straight line, because life is short. If you are not in proverty and you think what you want is just money, ask yourself a question: What would you spend everyday doing for the rest of your life if you have a billion dollar tomorrow? There are two common types of answer: 1) Having a laid-back life or an extravagent show-off life style. Ya, you don't have a passion in life so you may as well try to make more money. But if you come up with such an answer you are mostly too lazy, too lavish, or have too little intellectual curiosity to make that much money anyways. 2) You want to devote your life on certain passion and have the money solves all your other problems. If so, then just go ahead and start working on your passion now.
One of the first things u learn when you actually become smart is that there are many different types of intelligences and not all people are equal or the same. That being said, you can go viral even if you're a moron. You can make money even if you're not smart or intelligent. The truth is that luck plays an absolutely massive factor in society. Smart is your ability to think/adapt/understand/learn and theres also knowledge which is the amount of things you know. You often have smart people with no knowledge and vice versa, however none of that is related to getting lucky in today's society
Not saying he is wrong about the others but he is wrong about Markiplier. Markiplier was a guest on the logan guy's podcast and he gave Mark one of those drinks to try and he acted like it was good in a sort of joking manner, it wasn't a real endorsement where Mark got paid to do a product placement or something where Mark would even have time to study the controversies of the drink, it was literally a one off joke type thing when he was a guest on that podcast so the guy who made this video is being very disingenuous about Mark.
The man, probably in full age, really believes that Markiplier was just cozy visited Paul, there wasn't any agency shenanigans, mutual viewers boost estimation by big big brain marketing guys behind the curtain🤣But you're right, they dont have (or care) to know this liquid shi is cancerous or whatever, they're just a faces to sell it, to increse their own marketing value and income. Sure, they dont have to be smart to earn that much money, but their average viewer is requered not to be smart - to believe in the optics.
Not really. Btw average chimps can do that. You can search the cognitive tradeoff hypothesis or watch the vsauce video. They say that we lost this ability likely because of our ancestors prioritizing evolving speech.
If you have the time to judge the intelligence and faults of others, you have the time to improve your own faults. To be your best you, do not compare yourself to others, compare yourself to the you you were yesterday. - Me. This is the most wholesome video from asmongold i've watched in a while.
There's a difference between talent and intelligence. Being talented at playing an instrument or playing a sport does not make you musically intelligent or physically intelligent. Those terms are meant to make stupid people not feel bad about being stupid.
You need luck or connections to make money. Having a PhD does not automatically makes you have wealth. Born poor, be poor unless you're lucky Born rich, be rich unless you do something dumb Simple as that.

@DoffyDogg You missed the point. I knew what I wanted in life despite serious disadvantages. Instead of whining about "over inflated" tech jobs, how about you find something that works for you?

Opportunities are everywhere. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and recognize one simple truth; we are worth what we accept.
Oh this will definitely annoy Asmon. Idk if you guys noticed but he does not like when the average joe takes shots at streamers. It's like he feels threatened probably why he looks down on them sometimes with some of the comments he makes
And Asmon is definitely not average. He's strictly "smart" and his intelligence is filtered through a utilitarian lens. I'm not saying this as a good or bad thing, but he's clearly a product of his virtual environment.
This guy is high on copium. It's not "popular" its what people value. & people don't value "give me zero microplastics" as much as they value not paying $10 for a glass bottle of water. The whole "forget to have morals" thing is laughable moral posturing.
"you don't have to be smart to make money" anyone who says this has never been out in the real world before, there a tons of people in high paying jobs that are stupider than even speed
That's a massive Asmon W! I remember so many "smart" kids in school who always got top grades but were so easily fooled. Meanwhile, some of the folks with not-so-great grades could see through any BS in an instant. It's like how D&D separates INTELLIGENCE and WISDOM. A character with high intelligence might crush it in math, history, and all that academic stuff, but they might totally miss the signs when someone's lying or hiding something. On the other hand, a character with high wisdom and low intelligence might not know the city's lord's name or how to read a complex text, but they'd be spot-on at reading people and knowing when something's off. Basically, in D&D intelligence is what you learn from books, while wisdom is what you pick up from living life. Obviously in real life it is even more complex than that.
I like the light aswell. But... maybe you want to consider a Clustered / long pendant instead of a circular one. Might complement the shape of the sink and window more. Since it fills more of the free space at the top. ❤
Making money is not about intelligence or popularity. Is about the perceived notion other people have about you/your product. This perceived notion can be biological (people perceive the value of a potato based on their biological necessity to eat), it can be environmental/social (people perceive clothes from gucci has high status and quality which makes them want to buy them for high prices) moral, and many others. But all of this comes from the perception of value. if people perceive you as popular and entertaining people will buy your products and give you money. If companies perceive that you can attract costumers they will give you money to promote their products, and if people perceive that math and high end knowledge is important they will pay very smart people to do research on those topics. Smartness in itself is irrelevant beyond the point of helping you understand how society and the perception of people works and that can help you be able to convince those people that something you do or produce has high value and they should pay for it.
@corystarkiller but what he said still rings true. The video was naive for trying to define intelligence the way it did. When we have different types of it. Good at math =/= deserving success.
I think there's some nuance to this topic that some people like to ignore. 99.9% of the time, you aren't going to see any sort of success without putting in some sort of effort and having an understanding of your niche - even idiots like Logan Paul have clearly worked hard to see success. A lot of people like to blame society for their shitty situation, but put no effort at all into changing them. However, I think some people that are successful like to believe that their hard work was the only contributor to their success and that luck/circumstances didn't play any part. The fact is, sometimes circumstances do just line up. In my own circumstances, before the pandemic I was working a shitty dead end job, but I ended up losing that job due to the pandemic. On the one hand, losing my job was a shitty situation to be in, on the other it was a dumb bit of luck that led to me pursuing a degree. Yes, I worked hard to earn my degree, however, I would never have pursued a degree if I hadn't lost my job.
This guy is making people think they can actually do the same like other people to make easy money. Being an influencer is not a hard job, doesn’t require skills but only time and effort. Everyone can do it right? No, thats not how capitalism works. If we were all influencers they will be no payment from Ads. There can’t be. So no its not easy to become a successful influencer, it takes a long time and allot of effort to get to a money making point, it can take years without good practice. Do we really want to live a life where we hunt to be successfull in our careers and our life, while you spent all the time and effort you have to satisfy someone else or to realize you’re own dream, just to figure out 40 years later that it was never worth it after all. Just be happy who you are and what you will/have become. You don’t need millions, you just need family and love, not even friends because they don’t exist. And if you think you have more than 3 friends, then you’re delusional
experts don't agree on what intelligence is. but iq tests can predict success in certain fields, so that counts for something. i don't think being talented and/or skillful in any arbitrary thing makes you "intelligent" at it; yeah this is semantics, tho sometimes semantics (the meaning of words) matters. 'physical intelligence' sounds dumb, why make this liberal use of the word rather than just saying good genes + workout?
Content is not the product, what people in this kind of entertainment business are selling is their ability to attract attention, that's how they create value. There are tons of content creators who do all kinds of potentially viral stuff, but they do not attract that much attention, that's where the combination of time, relevance, placement, consistency, intelligence and tiny bit of internet luck comes into play.
Advertisers have enormous budgets. If they spend too much and the ads don't pay off they can show losses to offset taxes. They have always spent extravagant amounts of money and it doesn't seem like the ads necessarily pay off. As long as people are seeing the ads they can justify the expense regardless if people buy the product/service. That's what I was told back in the 70's. Sounded legit.

To be frank, they are not stupid people, they are actually very smart people who act stupid professionally. Because that's the martet and audience demand. Only normal smart people try to act smart, or stupid people who believe they are actually smart. The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
While you're mostly right, there's an additional reason people usually don't consider. Making (lost of) money is either a matter of happenstance or pursuit. The former somehow landed into a slot where they make (lots of) money with (part of) their skill set. The later pursued making (lots of) money based on (part of) their skill set. The blunt truth is that most people neither land on it or pursue it (hard). And then there's one edge case, people who are brilliant in their fields but choose to pursue a particular line of it that has little "commercial value" but which they find highly satisfying.
You're true to your name. He's right nobody reads that, we don't care how bad you think it is, you act like we don't drink and eat literally every junk food there is, and now you act like prime is special just because it's sold by RUclipsrs? That's jealousy talking there
"Why do more stupid people make more money then smart people." Well, simply put, there are more stupid people than smart people and great minds think alike.
I seriously doubt this guy knows anything about microplastics. A) the science on their effects is currently very new and all over the shop B) The biggest source of them by far is car tires, so drinking tap water which comes from underground aquifers that water from near roads drains into is actually a pretty good way of getting some in you. And no prime energy isn’t closer to actual sugar than water. simple syrup is about 2/3s sugar by weight , is undrinkablely sweet (more than honey) and is the maximum amount of sugar you can put into water. Soda is a around 10%. So its about 1/6s of the maximum you can get. Also a banana weighs about 140 grams and has about 14 grams of sugar and its one of the less sweet fruits. Yes you should limit sugar consumption or really just calorie consumption total. But at least get your arguments straight if you wanna virtue signal about this.
What i think is that a lot of people knows this truth. A lot of people see the ways that they can make money by doing something that they dont want to do. Maybe trying to get attention at all costs, maybe comitting crimes, maybe using other people or being a clown. But the reality is that we dont want to do those things, even though is more efficient to get money. Smart people dont want only money they want something bigger. A doctor that makes 6 figures and save lives could be way more happier than any of these celebrities. Because he acheived success by doing something that resonates with him. Of course being very poor and in a horrible situation this dont apply, there's an ammount of money that you need to make to at least have some degree of freedom, and that ammount sometimes is enough if you're doing something that you really want to do.
Yup it’s a lot of luck, and putting yourself out there. Right place right time. Kinda like pewds right place right time.. sheer luck and exposing yourself as much as possible to raise the chances of exposure
@@keeganbeaulieu4135 Sure it's not all luck, but unlucky people aren't ever in a position to develop a game or start a business in the first place. You were born in a very unstable / poor household, or with some health / mental condition? Sucks to be you, you probably aren't ever in a position to even try to develop a game or open a business. Meanwhile, fortunate people can like start four companies, fail four times, succeed the fifth time and become rich -- because they have a rich family that supports them and that provides them with endless opportunities / second and third and fourth and fifth chances.
I would argue that to be a well rounded human with bodily health, loved ones surrounding you, relative financial freedom, a job that is fulfilling etc. takes quite a bit of both EQ and IQ. Dafuk is the point of having twenty mill in the bank if you’re lonely or worried you are going to die of a heart attack tomorrow or dreading that you might go to hell if it exists?
Or in turn you worry about having a negative impact on another individual because you want to avoid any potential variables that can come back and negatively affect you personally.

AGREED! 💯 I was already tuned out after 22 seconds in and the immediate appeal to authority fallacy. Asmon does not have to be an expert in dental hygiene or nutrition, in order to be an expert in videogame content/entertainment. For example, would you listen to your average dentist about Black Myth Wukong drama? Probably not. This guy's got dumb take after dumb take. Hope he learns some sense from all the comments here.
6:35 This "multiple intelligences" stuff is all nonsense. Just because your brain can do something does not mean it's a clear sign of intelligence. Having good reflexes, or a good sense of rythm, or good coordination, or a good sensitivity to others' emotions, does not automatically make you intelligent. These are all things that even animals can do.
@@greenshinigami5566 He is not wrong. Asmon is using the word intelligence for other things a person might be good at. He is talking more about EQ and Talent/Skill. Instead of intelligence which messure raw brain power/IQ.
Some of those guys are incredibly smart, watching Asmon you can see that this guy remembers almost everything he has ever done in his life, to me that memory is just impressive. Under all that degeneracy lies a smart man who calculates every risk and always tells what he can say without getting into trouble. To me that is super smart, to take all the factors and produce drama but never too much drama to get him in any trouble
There's interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligence. A math genius who can't even even speak in a meeting is kinda worthless. Now asmon was wrong. Emotional intelligence refers to how do people endure hardships and recognize their own emotions and the emotions of the people around them, so they can act accordingly.

This. Your opinion is spot on.
you are right but that has nothing to do with survivior bias
99,999 of those youtubers made videos for a month, saw no views and quit. Meanwhile a lot of the larger youtubers started making videos for fun back when you could only make max 10k/mo from youtube. The smaller youtubers I follow that Ive seen go from 1k subs to 10k, 50k, 100k never stopped making videos. Even if they had poor viewership
it also took asmon YEARS to gain the following he has.

From first hand experience watching competitors, I can tell you that the difference is in effort and caring.

I am extremely smart. I'm working on a revolutionary new invention

Interestingly, high IQ correlates with less (medium) earnings because high IQ often equals risk aversion and if you want to make money (without nepotism) you have to take risks.
Sound very obvious but that is basically it. That is why dumb people who do dumb stuff can become rich if it work 😂
any society given with enough resources, stability and connectivity between people, would eventually devolve into a world that rewards dumb and stupidity
That's a good observation. I'm curious to the spread of data on that, if it's a linear correlation or a curve, like at the 130-140 range, does that hold true, and then after that are you able to analyze situations so well that you can calculate risk and overcome via means that aren't seen by most? But, I think the dumb people that are insanely rich are certainly the outliers. Like I don't think Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, or Elon Musk have lower than superior IQ.
Guess I’m a genius then bc I’m pretty risk averse.
If a plan is stupid and it works is it stupid? probably yes, but it worked.

Kinda.
Yeah... it's great that way if you are okay with it. I was told all my life I was gifted, I got tired of that shit but now it's hard to live without the constant ego strokes. That's what telling a kid all the time "You are incredible smart" do to a kid, specially an autistic child. I had a lot of great shit working on, got tired of the shit I had to do, so now I just want' to live with the pension the goverment gives me, work an easy and if posible stable job, no need for it to pay a lot... and just try to help some people from time time. Life has been fucking me up since forever, but it's not like I hate people or the world, I just had bad luck, if I can help at least a little bit, that's enough.

Yeah. That's actually a good point. John Cleese marveled at how stupid people don't know they're stupid. Samuel Clemens also had many things to say.
If you're stupid enough to throw it all in a certain direction, some of them hit the target. That's what Asmon did but I wouldn't call him stupid more than a deliberate idiot. He loves stupid things that logically can't work but acts in a way that he knows they can't unless unlimited energy is possible.
I got a law degree and make more money from what I learned as a carpenter and construction estimator than at law school. It's the weirdest thing but because I have a law degree, they believe my estimates are better and pay more for them, even though I use the math I learned in 5th grade to do them. It's the same thing before as after. Literally the only difference is a credential. Companies are just weird when it comes to decisions about how they spend their money.
Dood, you make a good point. I bet my MBA would make people think my bids are more accurate if I went back to the trades.
I was thinking about going back to being a sparky b/c of the pay.
@@TheRogueRockhound All day long. You'd probably get "expert" work prepping them for lawyers fighting over construction defects.
That's actually not weird. The fact that you were able to go to and finish a degree in law school demonstrates qualities like intelligence, tenacity, and time management. It's not about the math, it's about the intellectual qualities they are concluding you have from your education, that's why they are willing to pay more.
Your law degree is essentially proof that you are a detail-oriented, intelligent individual. Unless your clients are truly stupid, they aren't thinking you're using your law degree to directly inform your quotes. It's a point of evidence that your quotes are likely to be better than someone without.
I used to work for consultants in client acquisition. Stuff like this matters. Also, here's a little fun fact, the more you charge as a consultant, the more competent they assume you are. After all, if you weren't competent and highly skilled, why would you be charging that much?
Depends on the country, its laws and what you decide to do with your law degree. Do you have a bachelors? A masters? Any degree doesnt mean shit if you dont know how to use it to your advantage

I felt smart in school because I got great grades. When I became an adult, I felt stupid because most of what I learned in school didn't apply. I had to figure out by myself how to get a job, how credit works, how to manage my money, how to drive a car, etc.
Similar for me. Did alright in school, but realized that so much of success in the professional just boils down to who you know and taking credit for other people's work. Guy like me who did well in school and even at internships by just getting my work done, wasn't prepared. Now I'm undergoing a career reinvention, best of luck to all of us!!

Making money is easy but choosing to be stupid is hard.
Choosing to be stupid is hard, especially when you are a perfectionist who tries to attain or create the pinnacle of something. In a way it’s about avoiding stupidity to an extent. Perhaps that’s a paradoxical issue? If I am a perfectionist could I be stupid for trying to attain unrealistic results? Maybe I’m looking too deeply in that.
Choosing to be stupid (consciously) may be difficult, but being “stupid” is simply unavoidable. But it’s a matter of understanding the difference between honest ignorance and stupidity.

If you find it hard to choose to be stupid, you are not stupid enough. The same is true with being intelligent. It is a state. Also, I don't think we have as much free will as we believe we do, so we are products of a biological lottery.
Also, making money is not easy if you are not in your natural state; it is stressful.
The problem is that we're told when we're younger that being good at school is all that matters
Yep. Turns out that was a lie. They also told us being good at school means you are smart. That's a big nope also.

My brother is a surgeron and my sister in law is a generalist doctor.
My brother, despite many years of study, is only about to finish his last years of specialization (orthopedy, vertebral column), and so far, he gain a little more than 2.5k a month, this will explode as soon as he have his final diplone and can go as a freelancer working for hospitals as a surgeron.
My sister in law could basically gain the same as he do now as a generalist, but in the meantime she opened her own medical center and she have 5 doctors and 3 kinesitherapeuts, and a few other profession that I cannot remember, and now she is very confortable. On top of that, she specialized in sport medecine and she gain a lot from caring about athletes in my country. Add to that that she get paid a lot for participating in international meetings about medecine and stuff, and she is part of a greater council of medecine, she gain a TON of money. She makes probably the same that my brother will make, or barely less, when he end his formations.
I am a garderner, team leader in a gardening company. I run about 2.2k euro per month. I have no chance of getting paid more as is, my best chance of growing would be to become a foreman, for a few hundreds euro more. My only way of making more money this way would be to launch my own company, but the states would tax me to death and I would have to work for 10 years without saving any penny for myself before my investments become an income.
So the myth that doctors don't gain money is wrong. They do, more than normal workers. Unless you are ready to do shady stuff like working black, cheating the state, and scamming the clients.
The one thing I see common amongst all these influencers shown at the start is they are not very self conscious.
They are also most of the time very self centered and lack empathy. I believe it's a primary trait in sociopaths.
None of this I mean as an insult. I Sometimes wish I had sociopathic tendencies because I sometimes definitely could do without that voice inside my head telling me to abide by my morals.
And yes Asmon shares a lot of these traits. How many times have we heard him clinically dissect the people virtue signaling and say they aren't really empathetic because they own smartphones made by slaves?
How many times he himself admits that he doesn't care enough to pay 100$ more for a blood free smartphone?
See there are times when I have had to put stone on heart and say or be cruel to someone because they deserved such ire. But afterwards after doing that necessary act, I would agonise over it, I would look for justifications try to feel less shitty day after day until the fresh memory gets caloused over and I can finally stop feeling the regret as sharply.
That feeling doesn't exist in guys line Logan and even Asmond. They will tell you what is what, be cruel or sharp if necessary and not give a single thought again about it unless it gets brought up to them.
That's how people like them work. And man do I wish I was like that sometimes.
Anyways internet clinical psych eval done, let's move on.
Your right, and another comment brought up I think another main factor in success being that having more IQ often comming with higher risk aversion- but ultimately success often comes with a degree of risk. This isn't all encompassing, but I think there is a degree of truth in that.
The thing I notice about many of the top RUclipsrs though is that they also were lucky to be around at the right time- aka since the beginning. This may be a hot take, but I don't think as many would be as popular if they arrived on the platform at a later time. The reason I think this is important is while they probably observed and learned what is important on the platform over time that was NOT a main factor for many of their success.
Objectively speaking, it is easier to be successful in this time if you have the skill to observe trends, whereas authenticity and community building content was more appreciated in the past. But a lot of people's integrity get in the way of trend chasing and I guess that's where having more sociopathic or high-risk behavior plays an important factor now and where the new-age top creators come in hot.
I feel the exact same. I kinda envy people who are more cut throat that I can be. I feel bad for years sometimes.. because I had to be mean or confront a person who deserves it.
I don't want to lose the "voice" that keeps me in check. I just wish it could stfu about a topic and let it go.
@@UncreativePF the person talking about IQ and risk aversion has no idea what they are talking about. Saying "higher IQ means higher risk aversion" sounds smart except when you look at people like Elon Musk and Bill Gates and pretty much every other billionaire. They have taken incredible risks and yet also have genius level intellects. Warren might be an outlier with IQ, but he is also extremely risk averse so he also disproves this nonsense.
well this person is misrepresenting the study, what it actually is is that iq and income are correlated up to a certain point and then it stops, then its random after that. also these are people making calculated risks, i believe thats different than impulsive risk taking behavior associated with an undeveloped frontal lobe, but there are many reasons for that, some iq related and some behavioral or chemical, its just over simplifying everything and misrepresenting or trying to interpret the data and correlations as causations@@mistere5857

At this point these kinds of videos just seems like bitter jealousy to me. There are a lot of smart people who “made it” too, even on social media. Both “smart” and “dumb” people can be rich that’s just life.
Well let us compare the subset of rich people who are smart and rich people who are Adin ross aka "Fasist". The OG video has a point but what Asmongold said hits the nail on the mark
more lucky people than smart ones.
It`s all in the luck, capabilities of an individual and other people that may help them or not, the difference lays in the fact that the "Dumb" or "stupid" individuals are used by other and lose something as a tradeoff (not knowing about it)
Try to measure everyone by their ability to climb a tree and you'll miss the people whoa re good runners, craftsman, etc. There are different versions of smart and they are all valid. Asmongold is an incredibly smart businessman and content creator who plays the fool for his audience and people believe the fool part far too much sometimes :D.
Asmo is confusing intelligence with skill, or even talent.. Tom Brady has an astounding skill in football, you could even attribute it to a natural talent or aptitude for it. That doesn't make him intelligent .. and it doesn't mean intelligence has millions of "Spectrums". That stems from a general lacking of being able to describe a situation, and a need to label it. Someone saying "I'm stupid when it comes to laundry" is not actually stupid. A person does not go from stupid to intelligent based on what they are dealing with. It's just a lack of skill.
Intelligence is a broad innate ability to understand and use information without needing to be coaxed into it. The monkey is not showing intelligence, it's showing repetitive learning to achieve a desired outcome. It was taught what it needed to do to get rewarded, and learned to repeat it. Do it enough times and you achieve professionalism / mastery of the task; which is why it looks so amazing. It's probably had to do nothing but that game / puzzle the entire time .. like watching a speedrunner who only plays that game for hundreds / thousands of hours doing the same task .. when other people would never spend the same amount of time doing it.
Psychologists started creating these boxed terms like "emotional intelligence" because it looked good on their thesis, and it makes people feel good thinking they're now part of a group of people who excel at something they didn't think they did before. It's like participation trophies for the mind. I took those courses, and they're generally nonsense; like listening to a preschool teacher try to explain how learn your ABCs by looking at animal pictures. Except you aren't learning to read .. you're being told a Giraffe represents your ability to have empathy for a stranger's situation you know nothing about, and an Elephant is why boundaries starts with U.
Everyone is intelligent to a degree, animals and bugs are intelligent to a degree. It's all relative to each other, and what seems more amazing to you than not.
Yeah i think this is true. Usually people who have high emotional or social intelligence spend more time with people the average and thus more hours learning. It just comes from their environment and intrinsic interests.

I've said it before but you are legitimately blessed with great memory man. Like I remember all those things you've said as examples, but I can't bring them up as readily as you have when making parallels, dissecting a situation, etc. Never met anyone really that can do that as readily as you do because a lot of us have to constantly sharpen our memory. You seem to just straight up have incredible memory at a constant
The video of the monkey remembering a numerical sequence almost instantaneously is the ultimate mic drop
The RUclipsr doesn't understand why PhDs are not millionaires. A lot of people who do advanced technical degrees know their passion, and they set that as the goal of their life. Most of us who have a PhD or some specialized skills think money as a side quest: It is nice to have money, and I might spend a few years of our lives to make some. But we devote our time and energy to go straight towards our goal, and not taking the detour of "getting rich".
Only two kinds of people set money as their life goal and gauge people's success by the amount of money they earn: they are people who are passionate in making money, and people who couldn't find their passion and goal in their life.
For example, Asmongold likes to stream. So what did he do? He filmed videos with hand camera when he was younger (because that was the only viable media back then), and then he started streaming when Internet streaming starts to become readily available. He didn't take a detour: studying an MBA, then becoming a trader in some ibank to get rich, then starting to learn to stream at his late 40s when he retires. He went from point A to point B directly: just went ahead and streamed WoW. Him getting somewhat rich is just a side effect of spending a lot of time on his passion.
People who are passionate in painting devote their life in painting, not getting a business degree or building a start-up business. Same with musicians. Same with scientists. I went to study science because I am passionate about the nature and how it works. How much salary my PhD will bring me is the least of my concerns. Money is a detour. We'd like to go towards our goal/passion on a straight line, because life is short.
If you are not in proverty and you think what you want is just money, ask yourself a question: What would you spend everyday doing for the rest of your life if you have a billion dollar tomorrow? There are two common types of answer: 1) Having a laid-back life or an extravagent show-off life style. Ya, you don't have a passion in life so you may as well try to make more money. But if you come up with such an answer you are mostly too lazy, too lavish, or have too little intellectual curiosity to make that much money anyways. 2) You want to devote your life on certain passion and have the money solves all your other problems. If so, then just go ahead and start working on your passion now.
The music around 12:28 great for the motivational moment
TRUUE!😢
Came here to say the same. Perfect with the rant
One of the first things u learn when you actually become smart is that there are many different types of intelligences and not all people are equal or the same. That being said, you can go viral even if you're a moron. You can make money even if you're not smart or intelligent. The truth is that luck plays an absolutely massive factor in society.
Smart is your ability to think/adapt/understand/learn and theres also knowledge which is the amount of things you know. You often have smart people with no knowledge and vice versa, however none of that is related to getting lucky in today's society
1:10 as soon as he says im not gonna read that the video gives him a short version and says "diabete" 😂
Not saying he is wrong about the others but he is wrong about Markiplier. Markiplier was a guest on the logan guy's podcast and he gave Mark one of those drinks to try and he acted like it was good in a sort of joking manner, it wasn't a real endorsement where Mark got paid to do a product placement or something where Mark would even have time to study the controversies of the drink, it was literally a one off joke type thing when he was a guest on that podcast so the guy who made this video is being very disingenuous about Mark.
So
The man, probably in full age, really believes that Markiplier was just cozy visited Paul, there wasn't any agency shenanigans, mutual viewers boost estimation by big big brain marketing guys behind the curtain🤣But you're right, they dont have (or care) to know this liquid shi is cancerous or whatever, they're just a faces to sell it, to increse their own marketing value and income. Sure, they dont have to be smart to earn that much money, but their average viewer is requered not to be smart - to believe in the optics.
It was a plug. Too bad you can’t tell the difference.
Jealousy tends to blind people
Mark did endorse a banking scam
Damn, that monkey's got photographic memory.
Not really. Btw average chimps can do that. You can search the cognitive tradeoff hypothesis or watch the vsauce video. They say that we lost this ability likely because of our ancestors prioritizing evolving speech.
That monkey chilling in what we call "in the zone"
If you have the time to judge the intelligence and faults of others, you have the time to improve your own faults. To be your best you, do not compare yourself to others, compare yourself to the you you were yesterday. - Me. This is the most wholesome video from asmongold i've watched in a while.
You don't have to be smart to be a streamer/content creator. You have to have either gotten on at the ground floor or have something new to offer.
There's a difference between talent and intelligence. Being talented at playing an instrument or playing a sport does not make you musically intelligent or physically intelligent. Those terms are meant to make stupid people not feel bad about being stupid.
You need luck or connections to make money. Having a PhD does not automatically makes you have wealth.
Born poor, be poor unless you're lucky
Born rich, be rich unless you do something dumb
Simple as that.
You can fix being broke, but a poor mindset will keep you poor
@@andrewgreeb916 This. I am the oldest of 5 siblings. We grew up in a two bedroom trailer and my parents are horders. When I moved out I had literally nothing. I got a retail job and worked hard to be a manager. Hated it, so I studied every day until I got some tech certifications. Worked my way up from the service desk to sys admin and now I make more than six figures and own a rental property. The only thing that keeps you poor is yourself.
@@Kefroth1 good for you that you enjoy tech jobs. Over inflated salaries. If you didn't enjoy tech u'd be stuck making half of that.
Also having a PhD doesn't make you smart.
@DoffyDogg You missed the point. I knew what I wanted in life despite serious disadvantages. Instead of whining about "over inflated" tech jobs, how about you find something that works for you? An electrician, plumber, or commercial truck driver or airline pilot. Hell, maybe you could land a job doing something a little unusual like running a zip line course, becoming Foley artist or even a dog food taste tester (yes, that's a thing). Opportunities are everywhere. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and recognize one simple truth; we are worth what we accept.
Oh this will definitely annoy Asmon. Idk if you guys noticed but he does not like when the average joe takes shots at streamers. It's like he feels threatened probably why he looks down on them sometimes with some of the comments he makes
And Asmon is definitely not average. He's strictly "smart" and his intelligence is filtered through a utilitarian lens. I'm not saying this as a good or bad thing, but he's clearly a product of his virtual environment.
@@SolDizZo Hm? Never said he was average.
@@TenseiMoon Gotcha just you put the word in my mind

This guy is high on copium. It's not "popular" its what people value. & people don't value "give me zero microplastics" as much as they value not paying $10 for a glass bottle of water. The whole "forget to have morals" thing is laughable moral posturing.
It's how the dude copes about not making as much money or having as many views
Is English your native language? I'm finding it difficult to understand you.
@cabbage1369 ok, but I was addressing the OP in this thread.
You think people buy prime because their only other option is a $10 glass of water? Lmao where do you people come from?
Love the message of this video. Life is about finding what you're good at and accepting yourself for who you are.
"you don't have to be smart to make money"
anyone who says this has never been out in the real world before, there a tons of people in high paying jobs that are stupider than even speed
Cartman knows what you have to eat to not be smart
i think what hes trying to say is: charisma is way more important for an entertainer than intelligence
RUclips is a company, and RUclips is paying more. It's that simple
That's a massive Asmon W! I remember so many "smart" kids in school who always got top grades but were so easily fooled. Meanwhile, some of the folks with not-so-great grades could see through any BS in an instant.
It's like how D&D separates INTELLIGENCE and WISDOM. A character with high intelligence might crush it in math, history, and all that academic stuff, but they might totally miss the signs when someone's lying or hiding something. On the other hand, a character with high wisdom and low intelligence might not know the city's lord's name or how to read a complex text, but they'd be spot-on at reading people and knowing when something's off.
Basically, in D&D intelligence is what you learn from books, while wisdom is what you pick up from living life.
Obviously in real life it is even more complex than that.
This is pretty dumb. Not gonna lie. Just lots of survivorship bias and reaching.
I like the light aswell. But... maybe you want to consider a Clustered / long pendant instead of a circular one.

2:08 thank you, I started to be paranoid
What's bro going on about memory? He can't even remember to play a game he promised to play.
But he remembers breaking that promise ☝️
Making money is not about intelligence or popularity. Is about the perceived notion other people have about you/your product. This perceived notion can be biological (people perceive the value of a potato based on their biological necessity to eat), it can be environmental/social (people perceive clothes from gucci has high status and quality which makes them want to buy them for high prices) moral, and many others. But all of this comes from the perception of value. if people perceive you as popular and entertaining people will buy your products and give you money. If companies perceive that you can attract costumers they will give you money to promote their products, and if people perceive that math and high end knowledge is important they will pay very smart people to do research on those topics. Smartness in itself is irrelevant beyond the point of helping you understand how society and the perception of people works and that can help you be able to convince those people that something you do or produce has high value and they should pay for it.
Zack took personal offense to this video lol
You can instantly tell in the first few minutes haha
"what does it take to balance your audio"

@corystarkiller but what he said still rings true. The video was naive for trying to define intelligence the way it did. When we have different types of it.
Good at math =/= deserving success.
8:11 I would trade my math skills for rizz any day
The first clip is golden😂
I think there's some nuance to this topic that some people like to ignore. 99.9% of the time, you aren't going to see any sort of success without putting in some sort of effort and having an understanding of your niche - even idiots like Logan Paul have clearly worked hard to see success. A lot of people like to blame society for their shitty situation, but put no effort at all into changing them. However, I think some people that are successful like to believe that their hard work was the only contributor to their success and that luck/circumstances didn't play any part. The fact is, sometimes circumstances do just line up. In my own circumstances, before the pandemic I was working a shitty dead end job, but I ended up losing that job due to the pandemic. On the one hand, losing my job was a shitty situation to be in, on the other it was a dumb bit of luck that led to me pursuing a degree. Yes, I worked hard to earn my degree, however, I would never have pursued a degree if I hadn't lost my job.
Smart and intelligent are different things. And you're dangerously smart Zack.
This guy is making people think they can actually do the same like other people to make easy money. Being an influencer is not a hard job, doesn’t require skills but only time and effort. Everyone can do it right? No, thats not how capitalism works. If we were all influencers they will be no payment from Ads. There can’t be. So no its not easy to become a successful influencer, it takes a long time and allot of effort to get to a money making point, it can take years without good practice.
Do we really want to live a life where we hunt to be successfull in our careers and our life, while you spent all the time and effort you have to satisfy someone else or to realize you’re own dream, just to figure out 40 years later that it was never worth it after all.
Just be happy who you are and what you will/have become. You don’t need millions, you just need family and love, not even friends because they don’t exist. And if you think you have more than 3 friends, then you’re delusional
experts don't agree on what intelligence is. but iq tests can predict success in certain fields, so that counts for something. i don't think being talented and/or skillful in any arbitrary thing makes you "intelligent" at it; yeah this is semantics, tho sometimes semantics (the meaning of words) matters. 'physical intelligence' sounds dumb, why make this liberal use of the word rather than just saying good genes + workout?

Content is not the product, what people in this kind of entertainment business are selling is their ability to attract attention, that's how they create value. There are tons of content creators who do all kinds of potentially viral stuff, but they do not attract that much attention, that's where the combination of time, relevance, placement, consistency, intelligence and tiny bit of internet luck comes into play.
Don’t worry, the team are smart & they got your back.
Advertisers have enormous budgets.
If they spend too much and the ads don't pay off they can show losses to offset taxes. They have always spent extravagant amounts of money and it doesn't seem like the ads necessarily pay off. As long as people are seeing the ads they can justify the expense regardless if people buy the product/service. That's what I was told back in the 70's. Sounded legit.
6:27 the video ends but somehow Asmon continue to talk for 9m 12s let that sink in ............
15:13 out of context. i never thought i could fight a wild animal except bears. with context. what a save what a save what a save what a save what a save what a save
5:30 buddy lost me there.. ya.. hes jealous.
But again.. there is a reason why people will watch a dumb but entertaining person or vtuber vs a smart boring monotone salty youtuber..
There is a reason why some teacher were popular and others you wanted to end yourself so you didn’t have to go to class
2:08 thank you sir
To be frank, they are not stupid people, they are actually very smart people who act stupid professionally. Because that's the martet and audience demand.
Only normal smart people try to act smart, or stupid people who believe they are actually smart. The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
While you're mostly right, there's an additional reason people usually don't consider. Making (lost of) money is either a matter of happenstance or pursuit. The former somehow landed into a slot where they make (lots of) money with (part of) their skill set. The later pursued making (lots of) money based on (part of) their skill set. The blunt truth is that most people neither land on it or pursue it (hard). And then there's one edge case, people who are brilliant in their fields but choose to pursue a particular line of it that has little "commercial value" but which they find highly satisfying.
1:20 just prooved the point of the video lol
You're true to your name. He's right nobody reads that, we don't care how bad you think it is, you act like we don't drink and eat literally every junk food there is, and now you act like prime is special just because it's sold by RUclipsrs? That's jealousy talking there
I think you're not even getting it @@yous2244
Asmon getting butthurt seeing himself was just Gold 😎
"Why do more stupid people make more money then smart people." Well, simply put, there are more stupid people than smart people and great minds think alike.
Bro did not click on the video to get violated in less than 10 seconds
its not about You Don't Have To Be Smart To Make Money
its about you do what you love to make money
The music kicking in at the shaq section is so funny lol 11:40
The bots at 30 secs is crazy
what??
I seriously doubt this guy knows anything about microplastics. A) the science on their effects is currently very new and all over the shop B) The biggest source of them by far is car tires, so drinking tap water which comes from underground aquifers that water from near roads drains into is actually a pretty good way of getting some in you.
And no prime energy isn’t closer to actual sugar than water.
simple syrup is about 2/3s sugar by weight , is undrinkablely sweet (more than honey) and is the maximum amount of sugar you can put into water. Soda is a around 10%. So its about 1/6s of the maximum you can get. Also a banana weighs about 140 grams and has about 14 grams of sugar and its one of the less sweet fruits.
Yes you should limit sugar consumption or really just calorie consumption total. But at least get your arguments straight if you wanna virtue signal about this.
That is "a" hairstyle choice
What i think is that a lot of people knows this truth. A lot of people see the ways that they can make money by doing something that they dont want to do. Maybe trying to get attention at all costs, maybe comitting crimes, maybe using other people or being a clown. But the reality is that we dont want to do those things, even though is more efficient to get money. Smart people dont want only money they want something bigger. A doctor that makes 6 figures and save lives could be way more happier than any of these celebrities. Because he acheived success by doing something that resonates with him. Of course being very poor and in a horrible situation this dont apply, there's an ammount of money that you need to make to at least have some degree of freedom, and that ammount sometimes is enough if you're doing something that you really want to do.
You don't have to be smart, you just have to be lucky. Like Asmongold, or cryptobros, or business founders, or game developers, or...
Yup it’s a lot of luck, and putting yourself out there. Right place right time.
Kinda like pewds right place right time.. sheer luck and exposing yourself as much as possible to raise the chances of exposure
let me see the games you've developed or the businesses you've founded before you call these people lucky
@@keeganbeaulieu4135 Sure it's not all luck, but unlucky people aren't ever in a position to develop a game or start a business in the first place.
You were born in a very unstable / poor household, or with some health / mental condition? Sucks to be you, you probably aren't ever in a position to even try to develop a game or open a business.
Meanwhile, fortunate people can like start four companies, fail four times, succeed the fifth time and become rich -- because they have a rich family that supports them and that provides them with endless opportunities / second and third and fourth and fifth chances.
Luck favours those that work. I come to realize that asmon is actually dilligent when i saw a billion notepad windows open when he alt tabbed once.
I would argue that to be a well rounded human with bodily health, loved ones surrounding you, relative financial freedom, a job that is fulfilling etc. takes quite a bit of both EQ and IQ. Dafuk is the point of having twenty mill in the bank if you’re lonely or worried you are going to die of a heart attack tomorrow or dreading that you might go to hell if it exists?
This guy is conflating intelligence with moral value for some reason.
What? Can you provide a single example? Or are you just making stuff up because you're mad?
They go hand in hand. The higher level of intelligence, the more you think about the negative impact of an outcome.
Or in turn you worry about having a negative impact on another individual because you want to avoid any potential variables that can come back and negatively affect you personally.
No he is confusing intelligence with Charisma and being good with people. Or being talented in other fields despite being bad at school.
The drinking water with chopsticks thing is exactly the situation with Kai and speed in minecraft right now. They are doing a minecraft hardcore marathon and were COMPLETELY UNPREPARED. It's bad for their mental health being locked in that house for 100 hours now, but great for viewership.
bro there is no way he said bill clinton and joe biden has a lot of emotional intelligence. this guy has no idea what emotional intelligence is lmao
AGREED! 💯 I was already tuned out after 22 seconds in and the immediate appeal to authority fallacy. Asmon does not have to be an expert in dental hygiene or nutrition, in order to be an expert in videogame content/entertainment. For example, would you listen to your average dentist about Black Myth Wukong drama? Probably not. This guy's got dumb take after dumb take. Hope he learns some sense from all the comments here.
he's constantly throwing hints to the dems in vids that he's open to some 'negotiation'.
It's weird how even I understand how simple this is but when you're unwilling and scared to do it, it will never happen. Life be life. LETS GOOOO!!!!!
6:35 This "multiple intelligences" stuff is all nonsense. Just because your brain can do something does not mean it's a clear sign of intelligence. Having good reflexes, or a good sense of rythm, or good coordination, or a good sensitivity to others' emotions, does not automatically make you intelligent. These are all things that even animals can do.
Wrong
Unfortunately you're wrong
@@Allan_Stone It's not. Intelligence is just IQ, which is measurable.
@@greenshinigami5566 He is not wrong. Asmon is using the word intelligence for other things a person might be good at. He is talking more about EQ and Talent/Skill. Instead of intelligence which messure raw brain power/IQ.
Asmingold squirming the whole time he knows it’s trye
i think he's mixing up intelligence and experience/knowledge in some parts of the video
Some of those guys are incredibly smart, watching Asmon you can see that this guy remembers almost everything he has ever done in his life, to me that memory is just impressive. Under all that degeneracy lies a smart man who calculates every risk and always tells what he can say without getting into trouble. To me that is super smart, to take all the factors and produce drama but never too much drama to get him in any trouble
Yeah no, there is no "emotional intelligence" IQ is the best researched field of psychology, if you deny it you can kiss the whole thing goodbye
as a diagnosed autistic person emotional intelligence is definitely real
@@nlmtdhn9154he might lack emotional intelligence so for him it's probably not real because of that
There's interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligence. A math genius who can't even even speak in a meeting is kinda worthless.
Now asmon was wrong. Emotional intelligence refers to how do people endure hardships and recognize their own emotions and the emotions of the people around them, so they can act accordingly.
@@AA-lz4wq What you and the first commenter talk about is called "personality aspects" and their disorders. Calling it "intelligence" is misleading everyone to feel better(or worse) about oneself
