Our whatsapp discussion about confidence and new age bs:
[9/29, 3:44 AM] Winston Wu: Some blacks are fake too. Did u know the boxer mike tyson thinks having confidence makes up for everything even if youre ugly? Lol
[9/29, 3:44 AM] Winston Wu: He says an ugly person with confidence will always be successful even more successful than a beautiful person with low confidence. Lol. Right.
[9/29, 3:44 AM] Winston Wu: Mike tyson doesnt sound very intelligent or down to earth.
[9/29, 3:46 AM] Jethro: Confidence always helps, but can't get you laid easily in the US now.
[9/29, 3:46 AM] Winston Wu: Americans take that confidence bullshit like gospel truth or something. Its crazy and illogical and not even proven.
[9/29, 3:47 AM] Winston Wu: Confidence has to have a basis though. If i say im confident i can fix your car or win in basketball but i suck and dont know how it aint gonna help me one bit. Also ugly people who act confident dont appear more attractive. Just more arrogant.
[9/29, 3:47 AM] Winston Wu: The attitude isnt justified.
[9/29, 3:48 AM] Winston Wu: No u have to be her type too. Being confident isnt enough. It has no value unless backed up by something real.
[9/29, 3:48 AM] Winston Wu: Way overrated in america.
[9/29, 3:49 AM] Winston Wu: Everyone loves to hear "you can do anything and accomplish anything if u believe in yourself. There are no limits unless u impose the limits on yourself". Etc. Such BS. Why does everyone gobble it up as gospel truth? Crazy! Lol.
[9/29, 3:50 AM] Winston Wu: Maybe confidence helps u if are reaching for something realistic or achievable. For example if i act confident on camera i can make better videos for youtube. But not if its an unrealistic goal. If i act confident that i can become madonna then its useless.
[9/29, 4:00 AM] Jethro: Total horseshit. The whole self help industry tries to sell this. I want to be a rock star and a professional basketball player. I have confidence but no talent. I'm still waiting!
[9/29, 4:04 AM] Winston Wu: Lol
[9/29, 4:10 AM] Winston Wu: Any professional coach will tell u that if u aint got talent and u aint young theres no point in training you and that no amount of training or hard work or confidence is gonna make u succeed if u dont have the talent or athletic aptitude first. Only new agers lie and claim that belief in yourself can accomplish anything. I dont get why so many fall for that? Including intelligent people.
[9/29, 4:10 AM] MartellThaCool: New age is nonsense to me
[9/29, 4:12 AM] Winston Wu: It seems mostly white people fall for new age and self help. U dont see blacks or asians buying all that BS about how "nothing is impossible". Even at Deepak chopra or wayne dyer seminars its almost all white people who love to hear fake things and believe fake cliches.
[9/29, 4:15 AM] MartellThaCool: Snow people are delusional and ignorant believing in their own bullshit
[9/29, 4:18 AM] Winston Wu: Even the most intellectual new agers like gregg braden and david wilcock believe that crap. Yet they have an encyclopedia of knowledge. Go figure. How can people that smart believe in something like the law of attraction? Which contradicts basic logic and common sense and has no real proof to support it?
[9/29, 4:18 AM] MartellThaCool: Law of attraction never did makes sense to me
[9/29, 4:19 AM] Winston Wu: Right. The law of attraction contradicts basic life events and life experiences. Why do so many new agers believe in it so easily with no skepticism or common sense? Very bizarre.
[9/29, 4:20 AM] Winston Wu: If i could get what i want with positive thinking then all my thoughts would be positive and nothing would ever go wrong and id never experience any disappointment. Duh.
[9/29, 4:23 AM] Winston Wu: Im sure Jethro is a staunch believer in the law of attraction and that we create our own reality. Lol. (Sarcastic)
[9/29, 4:26 AM] Winston Wu: How come only middle class people believe in things like law of attraction and the secret? You never see poor black people believing in it. Lol
Except for oprah winfrey. She buys all that new age stuff. Lol. Isn't oprah winfrey a down to earth spiritual black woman? Lol
[9/29, 4:29 AM] Winston Wu: We need to make a video series exposing new age cliches that no one questions.
[9/29, 4:32 AM] Winston Wu: I would love to ask new agers who say this: "we are all one consciousness having different experiences. There is no self. Im just you in another form."
Id love to ask them this: "if im just u in another form then why dont u let me sleep with your wife? Lol. Im you right? So your wife is mine too. Why dont u share your bank account with me too? Isnt it mine too since im you?" Lololololol.
Would love to see the look on their face. Yet no one dares to ask them these type of questions. They just all believe it with a hive mind like the borg collective. Lol. How ironic.
[9/29, 4:34 AM] Winston Wu: Even david icke says that new age crap. Hes only skeptical of the government but never skeptical of new age cliches. Go figure. No one is skeptical of their own beliefs.
[9/29, 4:37 AM] Jethro: Wbite people have money and no sex or love, so they have to dream!
[9/29, 4:40 AM] Jethro: Poor people don't believe that shit, because they have to work to eat.
[9/29, 4:42 AM] Winston Wu: The most amazing and revolutionary discovery from the book "the secret" and the greatest secret of all time that will totally transform your life is:
..... Get ready.....
"Your thoughts create your reality!"
Wow! That is so mind blowing! Lol. Now i know the secret of getting everything i want and dream of! And how to solve all my problems! Yoo whoo! Yippee! (Sarcastic)
Yet many new agers actually believe that literally! No joke. How can anyone buy that?!
[9/29, 4:43 AM] Jethro: Yeah, it works. I sit at home and think about having sex w beautiful girls and they magically line up outside and wait patiently to get shagged.
[9/29, 4:45 AM] Winston Wu: Lol well the believers in the secret claim your thoughts arent powerful enough yet. So if u could condition your mind to believe in infinite potential then yes you could get hot girls lining up for you and accomplish much more! You just gotta remove years of negative conditioning first to unblock your full potential! Lol
Theyve told me that too!
[9/29, 4:53 AM] Winston Wu: I dont get something though. Dr. Bruce Lipton says that his greatest discovery is that our thoughts are so powerful that it can even alter our DNA and physiology in our body. He wrote a book about this called "the biology of belief".
New agers love this and they all hail it as a groundbreaking amazing life changing discovery. Wow. And they see it as a gospel truth and dogma too. One that u cant question.
However i dont get something. If thoughts can alter your DNA and biology then why is dr. Bruce Lipton old and bald and gray? Why cant he use the super power of his thoughts to regrow his hair or reverse his grey hair or reverse his aging?
Its an obvious question but no one dares to ask it. Why? Maybe its a rude question to ask him. But isnt it a logical question to ask him since his message seems to be that thoughts are all powerful? Lol. Yet no one in the new age movement has the guts to ask him such questions. Lol. Should i be the first one? Lol
[9/29, 5:00 AM] Winston Wu: @MartellThaCool
Didnt u find it odd that people believe in the law of attraction? Doesnt it defy basic everyday experience and common sense? And make u scratch your head?
[9/29, 5:10 AM] Jethro: A positive attitude is important, but you have to set goals and work toward them.
[9/29, 5:12 AM] Winston Wu: Right but the goals have to be realistic and achievable too. Otherwise u set yourself up for disappointment. But it takes wisdom to know what is achievable and what isnt. It has to be part of your path or destiny too it seems. If the goal is just a little beyond achievable that could work too and could be semi-achieved.
[9/29, 5:15 AM] Winston Wu: I hate how self help and new age books say that everyone has the potential to be a great entrepreneur and great leader. No way. Only a small percentage have that potential. Most people will never be more than mediocre. Was true 2000 years ago and is true today too. Leadership isnt for everyone. Nor is greatness or starting a successful business.
[9/29, 5:16 AM] Jethro: 95% of the businesses started fail
[9/29, 5:16 AM] Matt Hanson: What about online businesses or passive income ?
[9/29, 5:16 AM] Winston Wu: Fortunately though moving abroad is an achievable goal that involves practical steps to make it happen. Which involves money too of course. But its not an impossible goal.
[9/29, 5:17 AM] Winston Wu: Possible but most people arent gonna succeed in it. Only some. However u can make a little money if u try hard enough. But doesnt mean u can make a lot. Depends on a lot of factors.
[9/29, 5:18 AM] Winston Wu: Like they say "if something is easy then everyone would be doing it".
[9/29, 9:35 PM] Winston Wu: Btw im not making straw man arguments here. A lot of new age books literally have as the title that your thoughts control your reality. Examples:
- "change your thoughts, change your life" by dr. Wayne dyer.
- "what you think you become" by joel osteen
And many others. So its not a straw man that i make up when i say new agers believe that the solution to all your problems is to change your thoughts. As if your thoughts are all powerful or something. Yeah right.
