Imagine talking about Optimism totally deadfaced and then, totally unironic, attacking Simon for not bringing up the book, and still becoming a reel.

Dynamite episode! Makes the head spin like Rumba :) Point about Rolexes is intriguing! - Humans attract what they give off. Like a siren's serenade enchants a lonely sailor, a gold bar lures a gold miner. And men who flash "Rolexes" attract women who are hunting for "Rolexes." Dreaming of a world where men in pursuit of love endeavor to attract women by showing them who they are, not what they have. B/c who we are is all we can truly offer.
P.S. Écrit ici parce que j'ai besoin d'espace :)

Ways of being optimistic, Notice good things as they happen, don't Forget to acknowledge the negatives, because optimistic is more feel healthier, less stress, enjoy working more and it's good for relationships.

Saving bees
Planting trees
Cleaning seas

Peter Zeihan also doesn’t seem to agree.

[christopherclayton]

If planting more trees is your biggest indicator of optimism for the younger generation then we are doomed. So the can navigate social media, big whoop. What are these skills that they are more skillful at exactly?

[joan]

They’re smarter? With what? Can they build anything with their hands? Can they cook? Can they keep their rooms clean? Can they manage their money? Can they get along outside of their tribe? Ummm yeah no.

If they’re helping others, I believe, it’s purely about virtue signalling. That’s the new religion. There’s definitely more social awareness available online, for those that care, & have the capacity to understand it. Excuse my pessimism.

[jimwhitman]

Sorry Simon, I don’t agree… a lot of the younger generation is not social. If your above a certain age they don’t have the time. Mr Gallaway is a bit abrasive. I stopped following him years ago.
