Williamson becomes Democratic primary's 1st Biden challenger
"The 2024 presidential race now has its first Democrat. Man, it's not President Biden. Self help author Marianne Williamson says she's running again and repeating the message she ran on four years ago, repairing America's trauma. There are a lot more people in this country who love than who hate, but those who hate, it was seriousness, and they are politicized. Williamson's the first major Democrat to challenge the president, who has not yet formally announced a reelection bid, but has long said he intends to run again. I mean, how many times does he have to say until you believe it? First Lady Jill Biden told the AP's darlene superville last week, the president's not finished yet. Is all that's left at this point is just to figure out a time and place for the announcement. Pretty much. Sagar Meghani, Washington.
Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu
"williamson" Discussed on Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu
"Life? Everything, everything, everything. And now seeing how far that's taken me emotionally, financially, in relationships. As fast as I can talk, I'm trying to get people to understand. It's a change of frame of reference. And then everything else changes. To push back against that, for all that it might be the person who is badly burned and is going to focus on all this stuff. Don't forget that at the beginning of this, we said humans are supposed to be together. But the partnership thing, the lack of relationship is going to be something that you're going to focus on an awful lot because it's something that you can't get. And this is why I have a massive amount of sympathy for the guys. What do you say to that person? I'm really sorry. Focus on it more. And just know that you have my sympathy. Yeah. That's what you would say? No. Firstly, I would say, no. Firstly, I would say, that sucks. That's very, very difficult. And the fact that this is a challenge that you're going through is something that you shouldn't take lightly. It's a big deal and you shouldn't treat it like it's something that isn't a big deal. There are certain things that you do have control over in life, and you should focus on those. I agree with your point. I can just also see why it must be so painful for people who are chronically alone and don't feel like they can have anybody around them. You know, it's a difference between going camping and being homeless, right? Like the people that choose to be single out of choice or the people that are single because they're forced and it is difficult and it's painful and it causes these people to be lonely. A lot of guys I think that are suffering with this will grow out of it. You know, the guys that are 17, 18, I have no idea why you're going to be in ten, 15 years time. You have no idea what sort of a person you're going to become the way that you're going to look, the kind of people that you're going to meet or lifestyle that you're going to have. And even if LMS is still the ground truth of whatever attraction is in your particular worldview, there are an unlimited number of different paths that you could go down in future that are going to make that way, way, way easier. Yeah. Do you have sympathy for them or empathy or both? Both. Both I was that guy for a long time. I was that lonely guy that didn't understand why I didn't have friends. I used to obsess over things like how people tied their ties in school or the type of shoes that they would have or the way that they would cut their hair or something because I was adamant that that was the reason why they had friends and I didn't. I didn't realize it's because I just didn't really understand how social connections worked. I wasn't particularly socially adept and it meant that I struggled with that. So I empathize. I know what it's like to be alone. I do. If you had to turn them around, emotionally. 'cause I'm going to accept that in this thought experiment. They will never have a partner. But if you had to help them live a life of fulfilling, it can't help but use my frame of reference here. Do you have a thing that you could do that you think would help them? All the stuff that you've spoken about today. Find purpose, meaning the capacity to do it, contribute to community, do things that make the world a better place. It's the same things that we do with our partners without a partner. Life is, it can be very difficult. It can be incredibly challenging, especially when you don't have something that you contributing to that you care about. And if you are able to find that and you can continue to iterate on what are you interested in, what are you interested in? What are you good at? That's a good place to start. Maybe it's the gym, maybe it's artistry, maybe it's giving back to a community. Maybe it's looking after dogs and going dog walking. Maybe it's watercolors or whatever it is that you do. Once you do find that thing, it's going to make your life an awful lot easier. So many guys, we said it before, need that outlet for all of that forward momentum. And if you do not have that, if you don't have something that you can focus all of that attention onto, you're going to suffer and you're already suffering. As are all of us, and you're suffering maybe a little bit more. The pessimist is always going to prove himself right. So try and find a way to find a pursuit that is going to make you feel satisfied in life that's going to give you something to apply all of this forward momentum and desire to. I think it's a very good advice. Where can people follow you? Chris Williamson, on YouTube, if they want to go and check out an episode, the recent one I did with David goggins is available. You needed a couple of on his most recent book tours. So that can be linked in the show notes below. And dude, I appreciate you. I've been a big fan of your show for a long time, very, very glad that you've had me here, a modern man. You're a amazing voice in the space and I'm super excited about what you're doing.

"Raytheon 8 having it though. Oh, the Brazilian is not happy. But we have to have it. We've got to say it. We've got to stand on it. We've got to run on it. I love the idea, but ultimately do we not have to disentangle campaign finance laws and find a way to prevent this insane undue influence that these industries have on legislatures, like it's anti democratic and it's like, can't we all find some way to fundamentally agree on that? Well, I think the American people do agree. Sure. I think they do too. The undue influence of money on our politics, particularly corporate money, is the cancer underlying all the other cancers, particularly dark money, particularly that which is exploded since citizens united. Ultimately, we're going to need we certainly need to repeal that. But that's not going to happen anytime soon. Ultimately, we will need a constitutional amendment that establishes public funding for federal campaigns. I don't think most people realize that your average congressman spends half their time on the phone trying to raise money. I'll probably more than half their time. It starts on day one. And yet these people were supposed to look at them and go, oh, they're so qualified for leading us forward. It's the Ken and the Barbie doll. Yeah. You were talking about the manner in which money goes into the medicalization of the sickness care system rather than the yeah, exactly. Yeah, we don't care. We have a sickness here. But that also it's metastasized into much more than that, right? We've medicalized sadness and grief, like we're overmedicating everybody. And that also speaks to kind of the undue influence of these huge pharmaceutical companies and their financial interests in making sure that everybody is adequately medicated at all. Absolutely. And that's another reason they came after me actually on the campaign. And that's not to say that medication certainly does has its place in mental health inappropriate situations. But as somebody who understands very well, the difference between what one might consider clinical depression versus grief or having a hard time. And the fact that we're now sort of giving people pills that just are going through something that they kind of need to go through because we're human beings. And life is hard. I look at antidepressants away I look at painkillers. I have a place, but we now know the sacral family Purdue pharmacy et cetera. We know about predatory behavior on the part of pharmaceutical executives, creating profit centers, dangerous, immoral, profit centers, where they did not belong. And I think it is absolutely naive of us to think that that's not happening in relation to antidepressants as well. And the fact that if you even suggest that you are considered naive or irresponsible about mental health is absurd, you're what's happening is how naive and irresponsible people are too so blindly trust. Big pharmaceutical companies. And like you said, they do wonderful things. I mean, my God, I mean, you know, I had surgery not long ago and believe me, I was grateful for those painkillers. Of course they have a place as to I'm sure many people's lives antidepressants. But the fact that you can't even suggest that the over prescription of medication in America is a real issue and we should be able to talk about it. That has to do with the chokehold of big pharma. And the fact that the political system and the media, you know, like when Anderson Cooper came after me, I pointed out how many were talking about that issue. And I said, well, that's interesting because look how many pharmaceutical companies advertise on your television show. And he said, I don't know who advertises. And I wish I said to him. It's constant. Yeah, of course. And by the way, before Ronald Reagan, this was not legal. Pharmaceutical companies could not advertise on television before Ronald Reagan and the orgy of deregulation that his administration brought forth. Yeah. I mean, it's a sticky wicket. It's all one and the same though. All of these issues go back to this inextricable connectivity between government and giant conglomerates. Well, and also you bring in on the sickness issue and one of the things I brought up in a debate was that we have to ask ourselves, why is there so much more chronic illness than the United States? Then among citizens of other equally advanced European democratic societies, for instance, this goes back as you well know, you talk about this. This goes back to our chemical policies, our agricultural policies, animal factory farming. Subsidies. Yeah, it's a whole corporate matrix. We have this corporate aristocracy. We have reverted to an aristocratic condition. And we have to understand what that archetype means. An aristocracy means that a few people are considered entitled to the major resources of the country. We repudiated that in 1776 and we need to repudiate it again. I mean, it's outrageous. The idea that profit making for companies whose practice of capitalism is so predatory. That it is constantly at the expense or at the very least too often at the expense of the health and well-being of people and planet. The American people have every right in the world to push back against this. It is the most traditionally American thing in the world to push back against this. We've never been a perfect union. I mean, obviously, we're not slavery from our inception. We've always been a dichotomy. You know, you had out of the 51 signers of the Declaration of Independence, establishing these enlightened principles. More enlightened that had ever been encoded in the founding documents of a country. 46 of the 51, or is it 41 of the 56. I think it's 41 of the 57. Were themselves slave owners. So we've always been this dichotomy between people who held in our hearts. This flaming love for what was possible versus people willing to transgress in the most violent ways against the execution of those principles. Our generation in that sense is no different than any other. And other generations have pushed back. And I just pray in my heart that we will not be the first generation of Americans who wimp out on doing what it takes to say hell no to that kind of nonsense. All of these ideas and themes are almost perfectly crystallized in this Stephen Don's situation. Speaking about. So explain a little bit for people who don't know this situation because it's unbelievable. In the 1960s, then oil giant, texaco. Went down to the Ecuadorian Amazon swath of the Amazon River. In order now, already, Ecuadorian environmental regulations were less than ours and ours were never so wonderful. So they were even less than ours. Even in violation of those, texaco, in order to save $3 a pit, left their pits online. And they admit that they did this. Thus poisoning that era of the Amazon, the food, the water, even the air. They would actually say to the indigenous farmers down there, oh, it's good for you. This oil has vitamins in it. Its mother's milk. Now, Steven Dons a girl, I know..

"Yeah, we can place all our focus on Donald Trump and label him as a malignant narcissist and the like. He's a symbol. He's a reflection of decades of tectonic economic shifts that have led to a situation where people who have been so deprived and unheard for so long. And have to work three jobs as opposed to the one job that provides the car and the picket fence and all of that. Of course, you're going to have anger and resentment and all of the kind of emotions that we're seeing flaring up. It's reflective of that. And it's either going to lead towards some kind of revolutionary act and the dissolution of the union, ultimately, there has to be a reckoning, right? The most healthy way to address it is to have some form of intervention where we can course correct. What has gone wrong and find a way to provide for those people in a meaningful way who have been so deprived for too long? If you look at history, it's very interesting to see not only what conditions provided. The opportunity for it to gain power. But also how the United States and the other allies responded to that problem at the end of the war. At the end of World War I, the attitude towards Germany on the part of the allies was basically reparations in the form of Deutsche Mark till we tell you to stop. Interestingly enough, it was the American president of the time Woodrow Wilson, who tried to warn them that this was a bad idea. He was not listened to and the desperation of the German people at that time became a Petri dish when you have large groups of desperate people. It becomes a national security risk. It is whether it's in a corner of the U.S. city or a corner of the world, because large groups of desperate people become a Petri dish out of which a certain level of societal dysfunction is almost inevitable. Ideological capture by genuinely psychotic forces becomes pretty easy. That's why the Marshall plan. That's why we treated Germany so well after World War II. That's why we treated the Japanese, so well, after World War II, we knew that when people have been defeated, don't keep kicking them, something terrible is going to happen. Even if you don't see it from a moral perspective, just see it from a political perspective. So you're absolutely right for 40 years. People have been kicked down. Vote for us and it'll be better. Vote for us and it'll be better. And at a certain point, one man who I don't think any of us thought could have done that much damage so quickly, who was willing to take advantage of all the anger, all the anger to harness that for his own political purposes, then that coupled with what you've mentioned, the power of social media, and we've gotten not only the problem we have on our hands of a genuinely neo fascist force field, but what should have been seen as a predictable one. And I believe if the Democratic Party had been truly holding to its principles over the last 40 years. Well, listen, if either political party had held to their principles over the last 40 years, it wouldn't be. We wouldn't be where we are today. Yeah, and it feels like the Democratic Party can't get out of its own way. It's very feckless in terms of how it's dealing with this with bullet points and policy initiatives that fail to kind of penetrate the emotional force field of the people who could benefit from those policy shifts the most, right? Like there needs to be a broader conversation where these people are actually feeling heard. Well, these people were told, vote for us, stand in line for 7 or 8 hours, give us The White House, give us the Senate, give us the house, and we're going to make your life better. What happened to the conversation of raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour? What happened to the conversation about canceling the college loan debt? What happened to the conversation about Medicare for All? They are peripherals like it's a bunch of errant children who don't know what they're talking about. Too far left, even though the issues that are considered such as I just mentioned that are considered so far left in America today are considered like moderate centrist views in every advanced democracy except for ours. Certainly in Europe. And so to say to people, it's not just that I don't even think it's just the emotional force field. It is their pocketbook. And now the Democrats ringing their hands, how are we going to win in 2022? I'll tell you what you do. You raise the minimum wage, then people will vote for you. You cancel those college loan debts. People will vote for you. You pass Medicare for All people will vote for you. It's really not rocket science. And it's not just messaging. It's not just messaging. It's who they are willing to serve at the end of the day. And why can't they just get that done? Because they, at the end of the day, are under the thrall of the same corporate donors, whether it has to do with the military industrial complex, whether it has to do with big pharmaceutical companies, fossil fuel companies, big agricultural companies, big chemical companies, not the NRA, but on that one, they are better, but they're still not getting it done. So we all need to awaken, you know, it's like a woman who her friends is to have to say honey is a bad guy. He's not who you think he is. At this point, these people are not doing it because they do not choose to. Yeah. It was fascinating to kind of observe during your presidential bid, like how the media treated you so unfairly the manner in which you were marginalized and I mentioned earlier, I had Andrew Yang in here and he shared a little bit about his personal experience with that, which was kind of a lesser version of what you experienced and he wrote quite extensively about it in his book. But it was quite disheartening to see the manner in which you were kind of maligned and made fun of and marginalized.

"I think it changes the I worked in professional sports for a little bit. And I remember thinking how much different it was from when I was working in college sports because, you know, you have these people that are very loyal and they're just there, and that's what they want to do. And then professional sports feels a lot more like a business. And I feel like that's kind of how college sports is starting to be, which doesn't mean it doesn't really necessarily change. Players still want to win games. They still want to win games for their teams. They still want to be national champions. They still want to do good things at those schools. It does change things and it changes the feel of it, but I feel like after a while will get used to it. And things will start to settle down a little bit. We'll get used to people transferring, but they're not going to be transferring for reasons that are just like, even though we do see a lot of players just like, I'm over this, I'm done. I feel like it's going to be different, but I feel like that's what's happening. That's what happens anyways. So I don't know. It's going to be different, but I feel like once we get used to it, we'll stop talking about how different it is. But I will say when it when things started changing originally, I was just like an old timer and I'm like, dude, why would you leave? You have friends here, you have teammates here. But it's starting to feel like more like a business, but I feel like college sports is going to go that way. And we'll just we'll get over it. We'll leave it there. Thank you so much.

It's like, okay, hold on a second. Where's the part where you can actually touch reality here? And that's what I'm getting to is like, how can you actually get your finger onto something real, as opposed to the fantasy aspect of things? And so looking like, okay, well, I can't make the taste of a record label executive if those still exist, even a record level executive to form to what I'm doing. I can't control the taste, and I can't really control who gets it per se. But what I can control is really focusing on what I'm doing and learn how to do a better, learn how to make it sound better to understand what my mentality is an artist and a creator is and the consistently over a long period of time continue to do the work to create things to get more better understanding about your productions and your style and then to actively network to send those things out to people to spread the word and all that stuff. That's what you have control over, right? But if you just sit back and you go like, well, if it works if it's meant to be, it'll happen. That creates so much fat on the potential of where you can really, 'cause it creates consciousness drifting because part of your mindset is lost in this murky like, well, it's this kind of agnostic idea of like, I don't really know.

Imagine Louis through very similar sort of side eye gonzo style documentary maker. And he went to go and spend time with non offending pedophiles in Germany and they bifurcate themselves into pedophiles that people who were attracted to children but don't act on it and Peter criminals that people that do. Someone brought this up to me here. So he went out there and he was talking to these guys and girls actually female pedophiles and pedo criminals are significantly less common, but they stunning. They do exist. However, he was talking to them and they said that there's three risk factors that people have who are attracted to children trying not to act on it. And the first one is being around children, the second one is being inebriated and the third one is being rebuffed by society and being made to feel alienated. And the reason for the third one is really concerning because to a lot of not malignant, but a lot of people in society that we struggle to find a place for. You know, the raggedy guy with psychosis and a drug addiction that lives under the bridge somewhere. What is the place that we can find for that person in society, the solution a lot of the time is to kind of just push them away and as they talked about with the alienation, if I can't even play your game, there's no chance I'm going to win. So fuck you. I'm going to do what I want. I'm going to do the thing that you think is heinous or reprehensible. So also think about the homeless person, how much resentment in moments of clarity, they must have for the people with the nice car and the nice house and the loving family and the mind that works appropriately.

"And when I walk along, there are still a couple of homeless guys there and the homeless guys that live in America are a bit more sort of raggedy than the ones that are in the UK, they're always talking to themselves, presumably, they seem like they're on a fair bit of drugs. Like the guys that live on the streets in the UK are not the same as that. And I've spent a lot of time speaking to people that are homeless because I run club nights so they're the ones that are on the street at two in the morning when it stood outside of a venue waiting for people to leave. So there is a bit of a step change. But I would also agree that the newsworthiness that America gets that broadcasts to the world is not too great. But then on the flip side, we have someone like Boris Johnson, bumbling his way through a press address. And I'm thinking the entire globe is seeing this. That's the guy that's representing my country. And he said, well, it's kind of British. He's very British. So that bit makes sense.

So that's not to say that there are not there. I mean where. I got all of his from a deeply deeply detailed nuanced methodical program of awakening. I mean that's boda wrote that. Is that polycom. Is that you know but It was not it would. It's hard core. You know like people. That's one of the things that i could talk about this forever. So i'll try and keep it short but for example like a mindfulness is one tiny little thing that was extracted from the setanta sutra. Right and it's been scaled into this huge global Manufactured well marketed. Soft type of thing. That it's one percent of what real of what's really in there and of the actual fundamental methodical training right but because people go oh well it because we live in a world of of commerce as well.

There's a couple of different depends on what school we look at. The original important part of the meditation path is spinning a lot of time. Meditating on your own death and there's actually a systematic instruction for it which. I've spent a lot of time doing it's very valuable but you never find that book out there right so basically. It's you in the path meditation. You will meditate completely on visualizing your own decay and they they really like the word sin very funny tomatoes. Sinews you so much. But it's it's a big a good point so basically it's like during meditation clearly. Visualize yourself and your body like they'll they'll get into connecting for element so fill the the wetness of water in your mouth and the sweat on the body of the heat of the of the body itself you know the wind of the breath the earth of the you know the flesh in the bone and like feel your teeth fuel in in your in your skull fuel your hair so really getting intimate with the organs and the actual biological nature of the body in the ideas.

If you really understand that there is no one there is nothing. There is no permanent nature of identity yourself as overlapping patterns of behavior. But just in the us the subscription recently we confuse formations of mind with being something tangible because of the way our minds are designed we can hold onto those formations longer however physical formations physical consciousness. Body consciousness is very different. Buddy consciousness does not have the same abstract information that emotional or intellectual so for example. If you live the sheets off of yourself in the morning when you're going to get out of bed you feel the cool air touch against your skin.

Test the ideas that they're coming out with. What do you think. Oh absolutely kind of a push and pull between the desire to want to aspire to something without knowing what the framework is or how to get there right and so it's kind of there could be either a blind spot in for the how to like what to read what to learn what to practice enable to get to where they actually want to get to Or it could be that they don't want to put in the work that they're lazy and they would rather just sort of Kind of bs a way around it right and so what happens in both of those cases is that they're not going to feel they're not going to feel fulfilled because they're not achieving the thing that is that they think that they desire which that in itself is another problem as well as if people have the idea that they want a thing or that they want to status with ever often without ever really examining the true reality of what that status would mean to their lives like people who desire to want to a big company or something like that. They haven't often thought out what that actually means. And how that changes their life you know. They just think i want to be successful because the human game i what.

I can devote myself so much more quickly. I actually wanted to talk about something. Brought up a A concept called retreat to the inner citadel on a newsletter of mine. A couple of weeks ago. I wanted to bring this up because i think he kind of relates to what talking about here. So isaiah berlin out this quote and he says when the natural road towards human fulfillment is blocked human beings retreat into themselves become involved in themselves and try to create inwardly that world which evil fate has denied them externally. If you can obtain from the world that you really desire you must teach yourself not to once it if you cannot get what you want. You must teach yourself to want what you can get. This is a very frequent form of spiritual retreat in depth into a kind of inner citadel. In which you try to lock yourself up against all the faithful ills of the world so to bring that into modern day language if your legs wounded you can try to treat the leg. If you can't then you see the leg off and announce the desire for legs is misguided and must be subdued. I'm this is. this is what i see. I spoke to about this. Actually when he came on the show. This is what i see with much of the modern asceticism movement that it's very easy to pretend to be mindful and not concerned about material possessions and not playing status games..
