Tai Lopez SCAM

[Leo Gura]

When it comes to learning pickup, you need to learn the core principles of inner and outer game, but you reject the unethical scammer mentality and misogyny.

Just cut out the corruption.

The best RSD guy that I found is Todd V. I like his style, he's a great teacher.

Here is one of his videos on inner life game, the probabilistic mindset.

It would be interesting if @Leo Guramade a whole video on having a probabilistic based mind as opposed to a "fear based mind". I think that goes alongside the subconscious reprogramming content he is working on.

I think this explains a lot why we kinda go crazy or discouraged when doing something that is highly probabilistic and it's hard to judge if we are getting better or worse with short time frames, specially with dating/game and business.

 

Summary from NotebookLM by Google:

Quote

The video transcript features dating coach Todd V, who reveals his past as a professional poker player to illustrate critical life lessons applicable beyond the card table, including in dating, finance, and business. He emphasizes that life, much like poker, is probabilistic, meaning that while short-term results are often dictated by luck, long-term success is almost certain if one consistently makes good decisions rather than focusing solely on immediate outcomes. Todd V also identifies "winning as a skill" that requires discipline and self-control, contrasting focused players with talented but self-sabotaging individuals, and introduces the concept of "tilt"—letting emotions negatively control behavior—which can be mitigated by focusing on the present moment and knowing when to stop. Finally, he stresses the importance of "game selection" by choosing environments where one has the highest chance of success and accepting that while life is not fair, one must still take the right actions to succeed.

 

Here is another video of the same subject from a professional trader

Quote

The core problem for traders is that the brain is hardwired to evaluate risk and safety using ancient, primitive mechanisms built around fear and avoidance of danger, which often conflicts with the modern, logical demands of trading. This ancient "limbic learning" translates into psychological beliefs about adequacy, worth, and powerlessness that manifest as emotional reactions under stress, leading to poor trading decisions rather than relying on probability. To overcome this, the source proposes a six-pronged program focusing on emotional regulation and mindfulness to disconnect self from thought, confronting inner fears, developing emotional intelligence through discipline and courage, and maintaining vigilance against both fear and overconfidence to transform the fear-based mind into a probability-based one.

I think Tai Lopez should be taken with a whole shaker of salt, but we can't deny he's a major street hustler and I think there are lessons to be learned of marketing about how he scams people, taken ethically. But I don't think that what he teaches is best found in him, it's the same kind of internet marketing guru archetype that we have known, Tai Lopez just happened to be the earliest most successful of that type, people were much less immune to that kind of guru and he made consistently money back for each dollar spent right away with YouTube Ads, those days those marketing funnels take more time to make money, and there is more of a need for giving an air of authenticity like how Alex Hormozi does.

I'd say Tai Lopez isn't even a great teacher, he's sloppy as heck as a teacher and focus most of his efforts on hype advertisement.

Alex Hormozi is a spetacular teacher, that guy works hard as heck, wrote 3 great books and pumps great content on the clock.

Tai Lopez kept using the initial success money to keep going harder and deeper into scamming

He moved into scamming investors by doing acquisition of brands and being cocky thinking he could return profit with some stupid low effort crypto crap and setting e-commerce stores with those brands and failing to return profits, and probably even lying.

He didn't even bother to become a great teacher, and his YouTube channel has plummeted in views.

Do you really want to live the lifestyle of Hormozi? Dude totally swallowed everything the matrix tries to sell. I would rather live a fun life like Tai or Owen than a brutally productive life like Hormozi

Of course not. I was comparing the quality of their educational content.

Comparing Owen to Hormozi is not possible. But Tai Lopez to Hormozi is, and Tai is obviously lazy as an educator.

But when it comes to how I wanna live?

I have a hard stop at spending the purchasing power of today's worth of 20k USD/Mo for my personal life in terms of luxury even, and securing that wealth until I'm dead so 20k * 100 years (just to be cautious with the math, excluding black swan events such as nuclear wars, etc, it can be much less if someone is optimistic about market growth and inflation), that's my hard stop for personal use. So it's 24 million dollars total at worst, 0% effective growth of a passive investment portfolio just with above inflation let's say, 24 million is the number for me, anything past that is ludicrous and it's done for some mega project not for my personal enjoyment. I'm sure even Owen is already past that (the poorest of the 3 of them), like, is he spending more than 20k monthly? That's plenty of luxury.

But I think, realistically, just 3~5 million would last me a lifetime at 5k/Mo expenses, and that would still be some serious level of luxury if I kept living in Brazil for example in a nice neighbourhood, or just go after an European citizenship of some nice and warm Mediterranean romance language country, since my native language is Portuguese and like it there. And just chill living off AirBnbs while getting laid and focusing on personal inner growth, maybe having a light project on the side like a YouTube channel or writing some books, or whatever while I enjoy the company of a 8/10 chick.
