The Real Problem With Andrew Tate

if you want to be the number one if you

want to be the very best like like they

said in pokemon you're going to keep

your mouth shut you're not going to

fucking watch influencers you're not

going to fucking watch all these people

you're going to pursue your path and

you're not going to make it a social

thing because when you make it a social

thing you're trying to tell the social

you're trying to tell the social

community that you're entitled to it

you're not fucking entitled to being

number one you're not fucking entitled

to being as rich as andrew tate you're

not fucking entitled to having a bugatti

right you're not entitled to a bugatti

so if you want a fucking bugatti

you're not gonna be getting one by

listening to someone like andrew tate or

anyone else for that matter you're not

gonna get one by listening to anyone on

the internet that's tailored to a mass

audience you're gonna be pursuing your

own fucking course of action you're

gonna be pursuing your own life

according to its own laws and your own

experiences you're gonna do it in

silence the reason you're gonna fucking

do it in silence

[Music]

so so what we're dealing with here

if you want to condense this down or

break this down into something as simple

as possible

you're dealing with a situation where

people don't know how to rely on their

intuitions anymore people don't know how

to rely on their fucking instincts

anymore and they're looking for answers

to fulfill their lives looking for

answers to um you know live their lives

from internet influencers and

personalities and you know and

aesthetics and fucking guidebooks and

manuals and they actually don't know how

to actually have experience i i do think

it's a shame because these young like

you don't understand what andrew takes

talking about until you actually go

through the process of you know in

middle school or high school have your

heart broken or something it's actually

healthy you know you got to go through

that process

and then it'll it'll teach you how to be

you know it'll teach you the parameters

that you're dealing with in life i think

it's a healthy thing right

but people who are going to prevent

themselves from having those fundamental

experiences of getting hurt and

understanding

you know what your limitations see this

is this is actually this is the critique

i i'm going to make of andrew tate that

i have not seen anybody make okay

my critique of him it's not that i think

always misogynist i don't give a fuck

about any of that right my critique is

gonna be this

i think that

since his audience is so young

they don't actually understand what he's

saying right so what's what's going on

is that they're gonna adopt what he's

saying as just like a a cool

aesthetic

uh and then they're gonna apply that to

their lives which is actually going to

prevent them from acquiring all of the

fundamental experiences that are

necessary in order to even validate what

he's saying

so basically

um

they're basically turning andrew tate

into not a replacement for their dad

but a replacement for their mom you have

to understand within la khan's terms

right this fear of the imaginary in

which we look for satisfaction in images

and we search for satisfaction in you

know

visual aesthetics things like that

images right that belongs to the sphere

in which the child is attached to the

mother right the castrative sphere

which is where the father comes in

which is the or which is um the sphere

of the symbolic order that's going to

figure into

the child's development when they are

forced to confront the fact that they

cannot find satisfaction in any image

when the image is inherently lacking and

that it's somewhere else and somewhere

beyond and that beyond is the signifier

or lacan yeah lacan calls it the

signifier the master signifier right

that's the beyond so

that's there's also the word in the

bible and they say the word right

pretty much dealing with the same thing

so

that's the problem you you you it's see

we don't

andrew tate is

he's he's being a mother to the youth

he's not being a father because what a

father has the function of doing is

turning

men into fathers a real father turns men

into fathers a real man allows you to

become a father yourself

if you have someone as just like this

aesthetic personality

from a distance

you are never going to be that it's

always just going to be this like oh

i'll never be as cool as andrew tate

yeah but

that you know

this is actually kind of like when lacan

says a woman is just another name for

the name of the father now why does he

say that because

when this in the same way that young

people feel like oh i'll never be as

cool as andrew t it's like transcendent

right it's also like oh i'll never be

able to date kim kardashian it's it's

like a transcendent ideal that's out

there

instead of something that like

translates into an

actual

change an actual effect in your life

right the only time you can actually

have an effect in your life

is when you become the andrew tate only

when you become angry tate

is there an effect but you can't become

andrew tate why because you're never

gonna fucking be that rich you're never

gonna be that confident you're not gonna

be the fucking world champion kickboxer

it's not gonna fucking happen

and if it is gonna happen you're not

going to search for someone else to like

make that true you're not going to like

look at some pr if you want to be the

number one if you want to be the very

best like like they said in pokemon

you're going to keep your mouth shut

you're not gonna fucking watch

influencers you're not gonna fucking

watch all these people you're gonna

pursue your path and you're not gonna

make it a social thing because when you

make it a social thing you're trying to

tell the socialist you're trying to tell

the social community that you're

entitled to it you're not fucking

entitled to being number one you're not

fucking entitled to being as rich as

andrew tate you're not fucking entitled

to having a bugatti right you're not

entitled to a bugatti so if you want a

fucking bugatti

you're not gonna be getting one by

listening to someone like andrew tate or

anyone else for that matter you're not

gonna get one by listening to anyone on

the internet that's tailored to a mass

audience you're gonna be pursuing your

own fucking course of action you're

gonna be pursuing your own life

according to its own laws and your own

experiences you're gonna do it in

silence the reason you're gonna fucking

do it in silence is because there's no

reason to talk about it because no one

else owes you that fucking bugatti if

you get that fucking bugatti that's

because of your own effort that's

because of what you put in in silence

without telling anyone anything without

asking anyone of anything and without

making it socially relevant at all in

any capacity whatsoever and if you want

to ask me that's what manhood is manhood

is this it's when you keep your mouth

shut being a man

is not when you're talking being a man

is when you're not talking being a man

is when your family's in danger and you

act you don't speak you act that's what

being a man is to me right so being so

being able to actually

you know if you want to be the best if

you want to be extraordinary if you want

to be the very best version of you you

have to do it in silence you can't do it

by emulating a personality you see on

the fucking internet you have to do it

yourself okay

and then here's the most important thing

when it comes to that okay

the most important thing that you have

to take away from this as well

is that the grand majority of us are not

going to be one

we can't all be number one we can all be

the very best we're going to fall

somewhere in a hierarchy right we're

going to fall somewhere in a spectrum

that's not going to be at the very top

99 of us you could still be the best

version of you

but this is what it means to be a man

first of all to be a child means you

have a guaranteed entitled baseline

that's a child right

a man got to make his own life be the

best version of himself

and then end up somewhere on that

hierarchy and

you're gonna you will reach a glass

ceiling eventually where you'll just be

like i gotta you know i gotta retire i

gotta retire it because we don't all

live forever right

and that yeah and that's what i'm trying

to say is that's okay it's so it's okay

that you could just be average right you

should never be content with being

average because the minute you're

content is the minute you stop trying to

be the best version of yourself right

but

there's no reason

there's no reason to try and think that

you have to be number one for its own

sake usually the people that end up

being number one are not the people who

think that i in particular deserve to be

number one because it's me it's the

people who say i deserve to be number

one because i have something to offer

that no one else does and you focus on

the content of that if you're a boxer

you focus on your love of boxing you

focus on your your devotion to boxing

you don't focus on what you fucking see

in the mirror to become number one

there's nothing about you that's fucking

special in and of itself it's your skill

that makes you special it's the art that

makes you special it's the technique

that makes you special it's not you you

are just like anyone else at the end of

the day right it's the thing you're

doing that you've fallen in love with

that makes you want to be number one

right and if you can't be number one

so be it

so be it but at least you devoted

yourself to what you loved at least you

devoted yourself to being the best

version you can be not only the best

version you can be but you've devoted

yourself to the best way you could

fulfill

doing the thing you believe in

right

you fulfilled the best

way of doing what you believe in

that's the most important thing in the

world the most important thing in the

world isn't even being the best person

it's fulfilling the thing you believe in

in the best way you can

and if you can do that you can die happy
