t women think that way, do they? Here, I'm just speculating. I can't read any minds. But if you're a 20-year-old attractive woman, you've seen a lot of videos where young women are stopped by the police and they act like they can resist arrest as much as they want and that they won't be beaten up and they look like they think they'll never go to jail. So is that part of the problem that protesters…
← Previous segment →or even yourself had the benefit of let's say good mentoring and good advice, good advice on how to be successful and what to avoid to avoid failure, you can do that. There are books. You don't need a human in your life if you read. You just need to be able to read. My books, I think, get very close to that. The ones I would recommend for anyone who wanted to turn somebody who was aimless and didn't have a plan into somebody who understood what to do to be successful. I would say my book Loserthink, second edition. Loserthink will teach you how to avoid bad arguments that other people recognize as bad arguments. So what you're trying to do is not look like a fool in front of people who actually know how the world works. You want to look like you also know how the world works. And then immediately people will say, oh, that guy. Yeah, we're going to hire that guy. He knows how the world works. So that's what that's about. Loserthink is what to avoid so that smart people will want to work with you. Want to marry you, want to work with you.
Win Bigly teaches you persuasion. There is no career path that isn't way better if you understand how to talk to people and persuade. Right? Do you believe that those of you who have read this book there a lot of you in the comments if you've read this book would you back me that knowing this book would make you more effective in whatever you're doing in life? Would you agree? Yeah. Just watch the comments if you don't believe me. Because you know, you should not believe the author. Don't believe the author. All authors think their books are great. But if the people who read it think it's great, well, that's something I think you could trust that. And you'll see in the comments the yeses.
But the most important one by far is How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big because it was written specifically for young people who didn't have a mentor, somebody who could tell them what works, what doesn't work. So this is a whole book of what works and what doesn't work. Easy to read, easy to totally grasp. And I'll ask the same question for those of you who've read it, which is a lot of you. Would this make a young person who is aimless at the moment make them more successful? Yes, 100% it would. There's no gray area there. These three books, if a young person read them, let's say before the age of 20, their odds of succeeding in life, the only thing that would stop them would be really bad luck or a health problem or getting murdered and something like that. But they would have all the tools. They would literally know everything they needed to succeed.
Now, one of the reasons I wrote this kind of book, you know, all three of them. Oh, and also the fourth one, Reframe Your Brain. So where is that? So the fourth one, the newest one, Reframe Your Brain. It would teach you how to basically navigate all kinds of situations with the right way to look at the situation so you're most productive. Now, some of you have read all four of these books, right? If any of you have read all four of them, make yourself known if you'd like to in the comments. And tell me if it made you more effective. I already know the answer. I know the answer.
Now, just to be clear, I'm not the only person who wrote books that would teach you how to be successful. These are the ones I know the best because I wrote them and I watch the notes coming in. So a lot of people write to me almost every day. Almost every day, somebody says, I read one of these books. It changed my life for the positive.
So let me get back to George Floyd and this terrorist cop killer. If you did the things in my book, which are designed to make any person, you could be black or white or male or female, it's designed to make any person way more effective and have a way better chance of getting whatever they want in life, whatever they decide is success. You would be in a way better situation to get all those things. That would be a good idea. So the people who do what makes sense become lifelong learners. And again doesn't have to be these books. I'm a lifetime learner. Most of what I've ended up putting in books are things that probably I ran into somewhere first over my lifetime. And once I'd accumulated enough of these tips, I thought, you know, I'll bet I could write a better book than other people because I have done nothing in Dunning-Kruger myself sometimes.
All right. So that's the point. We should get away from race race and we should get toward individual individual individual. If you give me an individual, I know exactly how to make them more successful as long as they can read and they're willing to put a little work in. So that's my statement for the day.
Palmer Luckey is talking about how the leaders in Silicon Valley are unwilling to speak out against China or even in favor of Taiwan because they're so afraid of China. You know, they might need China later as a market. They might need China as a supplier. They just might need China. So apparently in Silicon Valley and wherever there are tech leaders, there are not many people speaking out against China. So that's why I'm here. I'll fill in that gap for you.
The Trump administration says they have plans to end the Gaza war according to the Washington Post. And here's their plan. Now you tell me if this sounds like this would work. I may be biasing you a little bit. Spoiler, this plan could never work. There's no chance that this plan can work. All right, so the plan according to the Washington Post, there's a 21-point proposal. I haven't seen all the points

, but it would start with Gaza would give back the hostages, every one of them, and in return Israel would stop all war. So the war would be done, the hostages come back and then there would be some post-war governance plan without Hamas. So they would be disarmed and some kind of international security force would be formed to keep things together. Now the reporting says Israel has expressed rese…
