Hello, friends, welcome back to the show. My guest today is me again. I hit 500,000 subscribers on YouTube, and to celebrate, I ask for questions from YouTube, Twitter, Locals and Instagram. So here is another 90 minutes of me trying to answer as many as possible. As always, there's some great questions in here about whether Andrew Tate should have been banned, whether I'm autistic and my views on casual sex. Expect to learn how long I spend reading each day, how rarely I drink alcohol and caffeine, whether I think the red pill is positive for young men, how to avoid the gravitational pull of mediocrity, how I dealt with depression in my 20s, whether I'll be writing a book and doing live events, whether I'd bring Peter Thiel on the show and much more. It goes without saying, a huge thank you to everyone that supports the show. The growth this year is beyond anything that I could have imagined and hoped for. And it feels very, very cool to have such an awesome community of curious, interesting, open-minded people who want to learn about themselves and the world around them. And I couldn't be happier. I literally could not think of a better thing to be spending my time doing. So thank you for coming along on the journey with me. In other news, this episode is brought to you by Qualia Mind.
