00:00:00
Scott we're back Mark Zuckerberg's magga
00:00:02
makeover continues with a return uh
00:00:04
return visit to Mara Lago last week and
00:00:06
an appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast
00:00:07
possibly the most embarrassing one I've
00:00:09
ever seen over the course of a
00:00:10
three-hour chat with Rogan Zuckerberg
00:00:12
bashed his own company's factchecking
00:00:14
process the Biden administration's push
00:00:16
for Content moderation and Apple for
00:00:18
lack of innovation amidst the news that
00:00:21
meta ended its uh Dei efforts also Zuck
00:00:24
and also took away all kinds of I'll get
00:00:26
to that in a second Zuckerberg lamented
00:00:28
the rise of culturally neutered
00:00:30
companies let's listen to him explain
00:00:33
why masculine energy is so important I
00:00:35
have three sisters no brothers um I have
00:00:39
three daughters no Sons so I'm like
00:00:40
surrounded by girls and women like my my
00:00:43
whole life and it's like so I think
00:00:46
um I don't know there's something the
00:00:49
the the kind of masculine energy I think
00:00:52
is is good and obviously you know
00:00:54
Society has plenty of that but but I
00:00:56
think corporate culture was really like
00:00:58
trying to get away from it
00:01:00
it sounds like this guy has divorce
00:01:02
Vibes to me I don't know that's what all
00:01:04
over the like what it he just look how
00:01:06
he juxtaposed him I have three sisters
00:01:08
no brothers three daughters no sons and
00:01:09
then he doesn't say this is great he
00:01:11
says and you know we kind of need
00:01:13
masculine energy again it sounds like he
00:01:15
feels like a [ __ ] t kend doall or
00:01:17
Something's Happened Here and that makes
00:01:19
no sense I I had forgotten what a bad
00:01:21
thinker he was until I listened to this
00:01:23
interview I've interviewed him many
00:01:24
times always as he's I'm interviewing
00:01:26
him most of the time I'm thinking this
00:01:28
guy has no intellectual heft in any way
00:01:31
or an ability to think through a clear
00:01:32
thought now and and he certainly doesn't
00:01:35
anymore so this was one big I don't know
00:01:39
you know pus ball of you need some
00:01:41
therapy do that's all I kept thinking
00:01:43
when I was listening to it but Scott
00:01:45
have you been talking to Mark about
00:01:47
masculine energy and what would you say
00:01:49
first off anyone who's seen Mark
00:01:51
Zuckerberg's new wardrobe realize he's
00:01:53
not bringing masculine energy he's
00:01:55
bringing chch and Molly dealer energy
00:01:58
yeah that's that's Jimmy and that's the
00:02:00
best description of his of his look and
00:02:03
feel for the most part look I I think
00:02:06
masculinity and femininity are wonderful
00:02:09
things they're societal constructs that
00:02:10
can help be great guid poost and
00:02:12
aspirational behaviors for both men and
00:02:14
women not sequestered to either sex and
00:02:18
but I'm not sure that it plays a role I
00:02:21
don't think companies should be gendered
00:02:23
I I I don't I don't think it's a
00:02:24
productive conversation oh but Scott
00:02:26
they're neutered oh my God [ __ ] work
00:02:29
go ahead
00:02:30
here's on a very basic level masculinity
00:02:34
means you're a protector a provider and
00:02:36
a procreator in my view and let's just
00:02:39
go to
00:02:40
protection you add Surplus value you
00:02:42
register complaints you give notice to
00:02:44
people's lives you you attempt to help
00:02:47
people more than the help you're getting
00:02:50
without credit you're willing to take
00:02:52
risks you're willing to be aggressive
00:02:54
your operating system your default
00:02:56
system is that you protect people and
00:03:00
right now Elon Mark Zuckerberg the most
00:03:03
favorably the most favorable thing you
00:03:05
could say about him is he's bring kind
00:03:06
of pragmatic billionaire energy to his
00:03:08
company he's being very pragmatic around
00:03:11
kissing the ass of Donald Trump figuring
00:03:14
out a way to spend moderation of
00:03:16
censorship so he can get rid of it take5
00:03:19
billion dollar that he was spending on
00:03:20
moderation put it all to the bottom line
00:03:22
which will increase his net worth by 15
00:03:24
to20 billion it has nothing to do with
00:03:27
masculinity or femininity masculine
00:03:30
energy if you want to see masculine
00:03:32
energy look at the aerial
00:03:34
firefighters who are former military
00:03:37
former civilian Pilots or civilian
00:03:39
Pilots they get in retrofitted
00:03:42
dc10 they risk their lives they bring
00:03:45
incredible skill risk aggressiveness in
00:03:49
the service of others yeah he doesn't he
00:03:53
without the expectation of economic gain
00:03:57
or recognition we don't know who these
00:04:00
guys are or well it's probably a lot of
00:04:03
women I I'm going to go out a limb here
00:04:04
it's probably a lot of women handling a
00:04:06
lot of the infrastructure and navigation
00:04:09
I'm not so sure there's look at Lauren
00:04:10
Sanchez can fly a mean helicopter I mean
00:04:14
but let's just talk about reality I bet
00:04:15
it's 98% plus male Pilots CU here's the
00:04:18
bottom line the majority of men the
00:04:20
majority of aerial Flight Training in
00:04:22
the military has been sequestered to men
00:04:24
unfairly or fairly and quite frankly and
00:04:27
I'll go out on a limb here such a you're
00:04:29
such a Twitter can get mad at me men are
00:04:31
more risk aggressive and in military
00:04:33
situations that masculine energy that
00:04:35
Big Deck energy really pays off because
00:04:37
men are more risk you're talking about
00:04:39
the service of others I want you to take
00:04:41
apart what how he said it the way he put
00:04:44
together the women in his life without
00:04:46
any praise and then sort of had this
00:04:48
sort of you know this like shitty little
00:04:51
stew of other things around companies
00:04:53
with J word he used neutered like ev
00:04:56
Everything is about the dick for this
00:04:58
guy and I kept thinking
00:05:00
small dick that's what I kept thinking
00:05:02
the whole time who would talk like this
00:05:04
who has a who has girl daughters women
00:05:06
can be aggressive welcome to me Mark
00:05:08
Zuckerberg just for everyone knows ran
00:05:10
away from me at most encounters we've
00:05:12
had run physically runs away from me
00:05:15
like he has no masculine what he's
00:05:17
talking about but whatever I mean I do I
00:05:20
am aggressive the
00:05:22
Bas you can't have true in my opinion
00:05:26
masculine energy without having a great
00:05:29
deal
00:05:30
of femininity surrounding yourself I I I
00:05:33
thought W's Best Line in the debate was
00:05:35
his advice to young men men was to
00:05:37
surround yourself with smart women and
00:05:39
listen to them because the things that
00:05:41
make up masculinity Surplus value you
00:05:44
you you create more tax revenue than you
00:05:47
absorb you listen to people complain
00:05:49
more than you complain you're in amazing
00:05:51
[ __ ] physical shape why so you can
00:05:54
protect people it it all stems from
00:05:56
wanting to protect people in your life
00:05:58
and also the thing that compliments it
00:06:00
the thing that makes it true masculinity
00:06:02
is being around surrounded by smart
00:06:04
people who create Nuance who create
00:06:06
concern who create care and who create
00:06:08
nurturing usually women the most
00:06:10
masculine men in the world had very
00:06:14
strong feminine influence the most
00:06:16
masculine men in the world have really
00:06:18
wonderful relationships with their
00:06:20
mother it's the first person they decide
00:06:24
they would put themselves In Harm's Way
00:06:26
to protect so all right can I can I put
00:06:30
a little note in here I think feminine
00:06:32
energy is protective too like I can't
00:06:34
think of a more a stronger energy than a
00:06:36
mother's energy for example for my I
00:06:38
would kill people I [ __ ] I kill them
00:06:40
when you're an Asen if you approach a
00:06:41
bear you're just like make sure it
00:06:42
doesn't have Cubs around it right
00:06:44
exactly so I don't the fact that he's
00:06:46
defining this by masculine and female I
00:06:49
don't even know what he's talking about
00:06:51
it has no role it's like are you a good
00:06:53
person and a strong protector of people
00:06:56
male or female Mark there's no such
00:06:58
thing it sounds like he just literally
00:07:01
has been such a beta his whole life and
00:07:03
let me tell you Mark Zuckerberg is a
00:07:05
beta no matter how you slice it who
00:07:07
wants to be an alpha I'm an alpha mark
00:07:10
You're a beta just so you know that's
00:07:12
how it's going for you but you have to
00:07:14
clothe yourself and you have to do your
00:07:16
fighting and you have to shoot you know
00:07:19
Buffalo and you got to cook meat this is
00:07:21
all such [ __ ] cosplaying about what
00:07:24
a man is it's it's now become you what's
00:07:27
interesting is someone said I'm so glad
00:07:28
we're back to hating Mark Zuckerberg I
00:07:30
do not hate him I find him pathetic
00:07:32
that's absolutely true um but it's just
00:07:35
I don't even understand how someone
00:07:37
could just it feels like the midlife
00:07:39
crisis of like I thought Jeff Bezos was
00:07:41
having one this guy is in the middle of
00:07:44
something that's personal and has
00:07:46
nothing to do with it but it has
00:07:47
implications that are larger
