Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@thomasdooley5904 says : You need to revisit the end of this conversation. It was going somewhere>> <<@daniel06977 says : What an idiot>> <<@user-jz9rj3hk1d says : And he didn't even say a word about the looming, multi-effects climate change problem.>> <<@MrPalaad says : oink>> <<@JaceyNix says : I want every one of you who posted hate and vitriol towards tom to know that you are the shit. Keep it up.❤>> <<@charliee5970 says : *me coming to listen about society being a ponzi scheme* "PORN IS GETTING SO CRAZY THESE DAYS">> <<@TheHonestPeanut says : Did he just say people not wanting to have kids is an economic issue? Not a species survival issue... an economic issue.>> <<@matthewlawton9241 says : You REALLY need to learn to shut up and let someone finish their point. This could have been a 10 minute clip...>> <<@reinereine1896 says : The Western population will decline not the populations in Africa and in certain parts of the middle east and asia. But there will be more famines and wars in africa because of the lack of fertilizers and not because of people starting have less children in the third world.>> <<@javieracunao says : 14:21 "globalism as a break up in the dependence on each other", you hit it right in the nail Eric>> <<@thesequelvintage says : Rich people on a podcast getting paid to talk about poor people's problems LOL This is the answer?>> <<@11conormcloughlin says : I get Tom cares about his startups and I don’t blame him. But come on dude, not one employee is gonna care about your company as you do.>> <<@ab.7272 says : It's too late... The government already prefers to ship in migrants from all over the world, instead of promoting a native population growth. Grab your popcorn and enjoy the decline!>> <<@ZebraZebra-yy9db says : Were not adapted to see many people if a place has to much density its bad for your brain we can only know 130 to 150 people thats why city are bad>> <<@rix195 says : 🤔 Hmm>> <<@laststand6420 says : I bet Tom doesn't work as hard as the broke Mexican immigrant I work with... Whose wife left him and took all his stuff. I get that envy is a bad thing, but hard work is very common, and to pretend that is the only factor in success is foolish. Be grateful you can afford to live, it has less to do with you than you might think.>> <<@taras_svirgun says : Humans are going extinct very 🔜.>> <<@433mea4 says : US is just becoming China. It has been like this since thousands of years ago>> <<@christopherjackson6808 says : He just doesn’t get it. Feminism is a bad idea now mom isn’t home. Thats the real problem>> <<@JumboCod91 says : You know what happened between the time the Millennials were born and the time they entered adulthood? Unfettered mass immigration.>> <<@alexkalish8288 says : In 2006 the birth rate in China dropped, it's not about optimism - it's about leaving nature and the natural order.>> <<@Aryeh-o says : This guy is the actual boogeyman he talks about. - Panders to feminism and doesn't bring the issues head on - Ignores inflation - Makes a strawman of "untalented" "mid" men and blows it out of proportion to reality - Washes elitism through generational narratives - Prescribes nothing of value - Lives of financial fiddling accolades and speculation May I continue?>> <<@lnk3503 says : The base job needs to pay for a family, just like for ford to succeed, he said the worker should be able to afford the car.>> <<@lnk3503 says : feminism is the problem, and globalism.>> <<@shadyworld1 says : 15:28 The Rhythm Picks up here 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 16:20 Guess who’s silently going there?>> <<@jannd8170 says : This asshole says “I pay my employees more than I was ever making at that point” as if inflation hasn’t been totally fucked for the past 5 years.>> <<@jannd8170 says : Kids not playing in a neighbourhood speaks more about the NIMBYism of the inhabitants and their reluctance to allow young families opportunity than it does about young people not wanting kids.>> <<@user-ur8mf4nu6f says : Modern women are base and materialistic. Women are voluntarily selling off their value. They run around until they are 35 and hit the wall. At 35 a woman has no sexual value. Many single women at 35 face what men face at age 18. You are only worth your work.>> <<@julianskinner3697 says : Immigration cannot keep going. Even Africa will be down to replacement level birthrates by 2050>> <<@SebastianMarin-ep7lp says : wait wait wait... isn't this the guy that was whining like a little girl on Joe Rogan's podcast because he wasn't trending on twitter? Gayest thing I ever saw.>> <<@MONEYM723 says : He is so right! 8:58 The conversation gets very weird and the excuses start pouring out their mouths when its time to get serious and think about the future. Not only have people become selfish but they have the right to be. Nothing about this economy tells us it is stable and safe enough to do these things. Also yes, we have learned from the health complications, stress, hard work with little to no gain etc from the boomers...so that doesn't help much either. We are NOT excited for the future. What FUTURE?!>> <<@johnyates5061 says : Cut my drive time in half ... perfect!>> <<@johnsolo1439 says : 11:42 amen>> <<@mdm032 says : Its getting mighty sexy out there>> <<@daviddeshazo5183 says : Gonna have to watch the full ep. I 100% feel like I have no hope of finding a good partner. Makes me so mad that the silent generation and boomers screwed the rest of us just so they could hoard all the money. And at the expense of the plant and future generations well being.>> <<@Assassin52799 says : I mean I’m 25 and if someone asked me if I had kids I would look at them crazy as well. Only a minority of people can afford to have kids in their mid twenties.>> <<@johnsolo1439 says : High costs and low wages.>> <<@jf2176 says : Eric is way to intelligent for this world.>> <<@RudolfJvVuuren says : Don't know if I understood him wrong, but: if the labour to make the coffee mug gets cheaper, and you have thus more mugs, I know the "supply and demand" rule will say: the value of the mug goes down. But that's not what I think is happening in reality. Companies aren't getting cheaper labour, so that they can make more produce, and then the price goes down...what they do is: they control the supply to the market, and they put the extra money (from the cheaper labour) not into "making more stuff" but in increasing their profits. Thus the rich (who owns the companies) are getting richer, and the poor poorer. This is the actual problem. Greed. And it is supported (given a platform) by capitalism, which basically says: I have a right to become as rich as I want! Now that sounds nice, but only IF you are one of the Rich. Because with wealth comes power. So the rich can use their power to manipulate things into favouring them. And this is supported by capitalism. So then what ends up happening is: every one wants to become rich, because becoming rich is the only viable aspiration, as it is the only thing that makes sense (is favourable) in this capitalistic system. But the problem is not every one can become rich. It is a very narrow margin. So people lose hope/aspiration in life. As the only thing that looks good, is closed to them. So our problem is capitalism. And the wealthy elite system. And greed. And I say greed because: have you ever seen a Billionaire who is satisfied?>> <<@DJ-jq5rh says : The host and guest are Lost>> <<@randallaumiller8628 says : lol its all novel McKenna talked about this- ppl well go up and find something of substance eventually>> <<@adambernhagen1015 says : I have, I believe, I think, me, mine, I, Don’t trust people who talk like that. Interviewee was great though>> <<@adambernhagen1015 says : Definition of a narcissistic personality is, they can never recognise that they are one, they do not have the ability to experience empathy but can act it out if it makes them look good but ultimately they see it as a weaknesses.>> <<@Funkteon says : The podcast discusses a key issue: the expectation that house prices will increase without any renovations. Overpriced residential purchase and rental prices create a domino effect throughout the economy. As housing becomes less affordable, people demand higher wages, prompting employers to raise prices to cover those wages. This cycle leaves people with less disposable income, leading to further wage demands. This issue began in the late nineties with the widespread accessibility of the internet. People started using new real estate websites to shop for houses, which previously required visiting a realtor in person. As realtors saw a surge in prospective buyers from a much wider area, they advised sellers to raise their house prices, perpetuating the cycle. For a perfect example of this phenomenon, look at how prices surged within two years of REA and Domain websites listing house sales in Tasmania around 2001. Tasmanians saw the price of a double-brick, three-bedroom house in a nice neighborhood jump from $200,000 AUD in 2001 to $500,000 by 2005. Retail prices for locally made goods skyrocketed over the same timeframe.>> <<@pauldichtel6410 says : The cost of education is a scam. Home prices are controlled by the banks so their books are in balance. I remember in 1979 interest rates were so high and my parents argued about money all of the time. I think a lot of people in my generation did not want children.>> <<@otgunz says : 1 month? Well new Chat GPT will be the new hooker for free or for so little that even the most sexy girl won't be earning much from whatever girls do on internet nowadays. AI is the real deal.>> <<@VangusKhan says : Interviewer is insufferable. Jesus...>> <<@StCloud-ns7vt says : You didn’t want poc families to be stable for 10 decades and now the policies have trickled down the whites. That’s the shock>> <<@SuperVolsung says : No person should own more than 2 homes>> <<@FirstLast-gk6lg says : "More than I was making at their age" THIS is part of the problem, this mentality that "well it was X dollars when I was Z years old, therefore...." I bet this guys employees are struggling just like everyone else and him telling them that they are being paid more than he was 20 years ago is fucking worthless>>
