Okay… I’m trying to follow along the premiere live, and I think it’s in the last 5 minutes… and the gist of it seems to be that society needs more shaming…. or it’s just a bunch of observations of what’s wrong… and how things need to change…. a bit idealistic and utopian…..
oh… also he threw masculinity under the bus… equating it as just warrior mindset, and automatically physical violence…
Some of the observations are on point, and recycled from his past content…. but as a whole, I don’t see what the overall message is… be scared, panic… things are falling apart… Pierre’s add ons is the background music, transitions, and lots of visual clips…. amplifying emotions … and/or creating a surrealistic or cinematic type of feel…
ohhhh…. at the end.. I sense that this might’ve been a passive aggressive word-salad to just disarm people’s aggression….. lol…. silly…
…. ok.. he basically lays it out right in the beginning:
we have lost our way
it’s undeniable at this point
we don’t know exactly where
we don’t know exactly when
we don’t know precisely how
but we know it
This part I’ll go with… society is lost… technology and other things have disconnected the masses from their humanity… sure…
some people will be in denial and say no
it’s always like this it’s always been this way
that’s not true
it shouldn’t be like this
life shouldn’t be like this
it doesn’t have to be this hard
This part is just shaming the world..
WHY should it be easier? who says life isn’t supposed to be hard? Isn’t that a core philosophical struggle… isn’t that what old religions have tried to tackle.. the nature of suffering??
we have too much stuff we have too much tech we have too much money
we have too much power for it to have gotten harder and harder and harder
it should have gotten easier and easier we know it we feel it inside of ourselves
we’ve run out of story we’ve run out of narrative
we don’t know what we’re doing
we have now completely lost our way
Technology and whatever modern crap, is the new jesus, savior… and it’s not working.. DUHH
Where was the promise that modernity, technology, knowledge, etc. was going to make life any easier???
I suppose you could blame marketing…. economics.. capitalism…. but then so fucking what… it doesn’t change the nature of being human…. it doesn’t change suffering… it doesn’t address existential type issues of being human…
Followed by TC at 2pm EST
PARTY LIKE ITS THE COLLAPSE OF CIVILIZATION! 2h18m
Since I’m following the premiere, I’ll probably follow along the TC livestream after… not sure how I’ll engage in the chat just yet…
TC just started…. RG missed the premiere!! openly admits that he’s distracted and overworking or something….
now details of the background of making the video….. limited structure, lots of improv… very RG style..
hmm…. now onto politics and their lack of political participation and what not….. a bit blah….. it is now sounding a bit like a director’s cut or commentary that they throw into some DVDs…
Going more into politics and social commentary… but not much new… or I’m sorta sensing how RG is projecting his psychosis or his blindspot…. there was an earlier critique on people expecting answers and solutions, which was reasonable, but they ended up going extreme opposite of offering none….. (also not owning how their assumptions and mindset are still projecting a solution, or at least doing the reverse, removing potential answers….
that’s indirect solutions, by using passive aggression to sabotage certain paths…
Back to rants on JBP, but did Jordan really berate everyone else to believe his twitter comment on the SI model?? I’m not seeing his wording as imposing an ideology on the masses….. I sense they’re straw-manning his position… of which why so much energy here?
ok… now onto sex, missionary position, and how missionaries judged tribal cultures having sex outside of the missionary position and shame them into proper sexual behavior……. face to face.. instead of face to butt….. lol…
RG got sidetracked with sexual perversion stuff… with PXO working hard to redirect the conversation… and it’s only 1 hour into the episode….
Now reminiscing about earlier social media platforms and communities, and how it’s changed now, along with each of their frustrations with comments interaction….
RG’s been using social media since 2004 as free advertising and promotion for his various courses…
PXO sharing how inciting , provocative, & victim-izing type content, gets rewarded by algorithms and people’s attention….
Q&A section….. a bit slow-ish so far….
RG admits to being an asshole right now, already…. lol
back to social media frustrations…..
PXO - “It’s like Opinion RAPE!” lol
back to Q&A, slow in the chat and they’re in a weird mood… maybe more frustrations as influencers….?
PXO… “I’m bullied by women, always bullied by women..”
are they both dysregulating?
PXO continuing on a rant on passive aggressive emotional damage from old r’ships… with women…. RG opting out so far…
RG slowly joining, revisiting their frustrations with being asked about relationship advice, and considering to give really bad advice…. oh.. and a portion where he said ‘booyah bitch’ around 1h30m and went over the line…
diving into British tourists, and British culture….. they were talking like mini celebrities, shit you only talk about in therapy or in closed doors… overtly accusing each other of doing things… (6 people 20 something)… whole conversational style was calling each other out and defending themselves like episode of big brother …. and RG said that’s normal for how younger British people talk to each other…..
PXO reflecting on past r’ships… when he waa avoidant when other’s went into call-out drama mode…
(this could be interesting… )
25-30yo mode of communication that’s very serious, presented as academic lecture… pseudo intellectual, philosophical discourse on a person I don’t know.. or care about….
RG - “Who he is….as a person… when he sees this.. he instantly does this…. ” “Let me tell you a third time…”
“I’ve been subjected to that.. so many times…. I didn’t even ask for this conversation…”
PXO - “it’s really 10 minutes of pure judgement”… “It’s totally a millenial and gen-z thing, they all want to gossip, and the narrative… ”, “That’s why he’s an asshole, because of unresolved trauma….!!”
“Pure arrogance…. extreme certainty…” (millennial & gen z rants)
“They act as if real life was a twitter feed, instagram comment, etc…. and it’s such a weird thing to be around… ”
"Talking with complete certainty with every opinion… adding trauma, adding some political reference.."PXO
More exploration into this z-gen type of interaction…. lots of juice here….. I dunno if I’ve seen this so heavy as they’re describing…. where do I find this?? i’m curious….
Looks like they might be ending with cum sounds around 2h05m…. with PXO trying to rein it in, as his book is coming out soon, but he instead digs in worse…. and it’s getting crazy…
….. ahhh…
RG shares that PXO loves it when RG gets really angry and starts laughing like crazy (2h13m)….
lol.. interesting tidbit..
wow… what a weird finish… final 20 minutes got very silly…. crazy but also entertaining….. very weird…. lots of perversion and wackyness…..
