#585 - Are We in a Recession? Should We Buy Stock Right Now?
We face a very unique situation right now with the current pandemic. Coronavirus/Covid-19 is driving the economy downward drastically and we certainly weren't prepared for it. So with that said, what are you going to do about it in your world? There's a lot of risk but there might be opportunity, too."As long as cryptocurrency remains hypothetical, it'll be more volatile." - Tai Lopez(click to tweet)Points to keep in mind:The world order is bound to change in light of today's circumstance.You can either freak out, or you can stay calm. What's gonna happen is what's gonna happen.Narcissism and Machiavellianism are completely different personalities.Always be mindful of both sides of the narrative,Cryptocurrency can be a volatile and risky market.Your investing should be primarily in things you have control of. A key rule of thumb to investing is buy when the market is low; sell when the market is high.Live your life with caution, but don't live your life out of fear.You should only be putting walls up after an experience. Not before.Don't be intimidated by the powers that be, but don't be disrespectful.Living a reactionary life means you're never prepared for what's next. Be proactive, not reactive."Buy low, sell high." - Tai Lopez(click to tweet)Summary: In this era, there's a lot of fear and chaos throughout society. Everyone is reacting to things rather than preparing for them. Don't fall into that stream of living.Live a life of strategy."If you always react, you never strategize." - Tai Lopez(click to tweet)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#580 - Billionaire Naveen Jain's Ways of Learning
“Always stay intellectually curious” - Naveen Jain(click to tweet)The saying goes, “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink,” to demonstrate that if someone doesn’t want or is unwilling to do something for themselves that would be good for them, there is little you can do. But if you focus your efforts instead on how you make the horse thirsty, you’ve solved the problem.This thirst is what Naveen Jain says anyone who wants to be successful needs to cultivate. It is intellectual curiosity, and a desire to constantly learn, and it is what separates the greats, those who are super successful, from the rest.If you want to be successful, you need to cultivate inside yourself this desire to learn.

#579 - Is Evolutionary Psychology Wrong About Beauty? With Richard Prum
“Beauty can function somewhat like an irrationally exuberant market bubble” - Richard Prum(click to tweet)The evolutionary view of beauty has traditionally been that humans evolved a sense of what was beautiful based on practically. We’re often taught that things like the waist to hip ratio are a long-ingrained sign of fertility to men, which is why we find them attractive.My guest today, Richard Prum, has a different view. He says that beauty can be viewed more as an “irrationally exuberant financial market bubble.” In other words, it’s not so cut and dry, and natural selection has led each of us, within our own cultures, to develop a sense of what we consider attractive, not dependent on the practicality of evolutionary considerations.What do you think? Let me know! Leave a rating and review in iTunes, and tell me your thoughts in the review!Don’t forget, you can listen to The Tai Lopez Show on Spotify! Click “Follow” and let me know what you think!“Beauty is a social contrivance. It’s invented by us” - Richard Prum(click to tweet)Points to Keep In MindCertain aspects of science seem to be completely unexplainableBeauty can function somewhat like an irrationally exuberant market bubbleBeauty is a social contrivance. It’s invented by usHumans are evolved to be satisfied, and to find satisfying relationshipsThe evolutionary idea of beauty being practical neglects some of the concepts of natural selection in the human animalIn society, it could be argued that it is actually women who are defining the idea of beauty more than menThe idea of machismo and dominance as the core of attraction is deeply flawed and a cause of unhappinessGet in touch with the idea of what it means to be really caring for your partnerHuman diversity is a result of the diversity of mate-choice, therefore standards of beauty can be far different across culturesThe men who are most attractive tend to be socially attentiveSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
