His just a popular journalist who's let the fame get ahead of the reporting. At this point, he's just spamming as many vids as he can that have minimal updates differentiating them from the previous vids of the day and milking Youtube's ad cash for all it's worth. It's like he takes one incident, splits it into a dozen other vids, and fills the gaps with the same repetitive ranting over and over again. Probably making a fuckton of cash though.
Based on the size of that house he just bought? Unless the supposed five other people he's living with are chipping in, yeah he's making decent money, which makes his self-censorship so fucking aggrivating.Snip
So much so that he spent a million bucks moving to a different building to get away from his stoner co-host.Tim gets real mad when his stoner co-hosts disagree or have an opinion.
Paraphrasing
‘Don’t you think you might be influencing this by telling everyone cival war is coming and how it will happem?’
he has some decent perspectives, but after you watch 4 or 5 videos it all gets very repetitive. i think most people tune in just to hear what they already know.
i doubt i could tolerate listening to him in a podcast format.
What a disgusting weasel.
This is made even more ironic since he is mixed race (don't your forget it, lol) half-Korean with a math teacher for a mom.1. He is close-minded. Listen to how dismissive he is to the Pythagorean Theorum, one of the most basic proofs in mathematics. I don't like math either, but it is the abstraction of the hard sciences. His dismissal of it being useless indicates a general disinterest in learning disguised as useless. So all his talk of being a social liberal is false because he is not a liberal by any definition.
2. Delinquency. "Show your work" is a legitimate order that's given by any math teacher. Why do they give this order? They give this order so that if you make a mistake, they can figure out where you made it. They also give this order to help the students develop a sense of sequential reasoning. Part of why Tim has as much cognitive dissonance as he has is because he didn't reason his way into what he believes. He doesn't think, "I said this, therefore I must go like that." The result, you can see in his politics, which makes no sense regardless of what side you're on.
He's in that camp of "communism could work in a small group but doesn't scale" hippy-dippy type of person. He thinks this sort of living agreement is just fine... for him... remains to be seen if it will also work for his "coworkers" in the "commune". It already didn't work once, and now we have two podcasts to watch.I still can't believe that retard thought it was a good idea to work where he sleeps and with five other people no less.
I remember what it was like spending six months out to sea on deployment with 180 of my best friends. Fuck that shit. There's a reason they say absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Yeah, I did more or less the same thing. I think what got me to stop watching altogether was his first interview with Corey DeAngelis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELUBV10-yEE
"Don't go to school." Is probably the worst advice I've ever heard and I do not like the public school system or its PC administration or it's Communistic control of the lunch line. School, for all its failures, does expose most people to a variety of subjects and the ability to systematically think about problems. Whether it's solving a math problem or outlining an essay, high school does teach how to sit down, focus, and organize. When you listen to Tim's story about WHY he dropped out of high school, it's absolutely the worst reason to quit school on so many levels:
1. He is close-minded. Listen to how dismissive he is to the Pythagorean Theorum, one of the most basic proofs in mathematics. I don't like math either, but it is the abstraction of the hard sciences. His dismissal of it being useless indicates a general disinterest in learning disguised as useless.

The result, you can see in his politics, which makes no sense regardless of what side you're on.
3. He thinks he's justified. Normal people, when they think about high school, at least bother to ask themselves if they overreacted back then. Tim thinks he's completely right to act the way he did.
4. He recommends that everyone do this at 3:39. Tim had unique circumstances and luck happened to favor him. Back when he was a real journalist, he was on the ground and livestreamed the event as it happened. People liked him and were willing to take a chance on a guy that didn't have a GED. So, when he recommends everyone drop out of school, what do you think will happen? That they'll turn into a generation of Tim Pools? Even DeAngelis thought it was a bridge too far.
At that point, he crossed the line from just being dumb in politics to giving bad life advice to other people.
if it were a podcast format, I do wonder if he’d ever say, “The hell with it!”, and just take off the beanie so we can see a more nuanced and mature version of Tim Pool?he has some decent perspectives, but after you watch 4 or 5 videos it all gets very repetitive. i think most people tune in just to hear what they already know.

What he said was to not go to school, not go to college. There's plenty of reasons (especially now) to not go to college, but his story was built out of ditching high school and for the worst reasons. It's one thing to avoid school because of a woke curriculum, it's another thing entirely to say the Pythagorem Theorum is pointless. A weak understanding of basic mathematics demonstrates weak analytical ability. What do we see when we watch(ed) him read articles? A whole lot of sperging out and fake news just as bad as MSM. Really, basic biology (which he also denigrates) would have shown that COVID is a variation of the Flu, was not nearly as lethal as a serious illness like TB, and such lockdown measures by the State government was unwarranted. Instead, he sells food buckets.Tim Pool gives gambling advice because “I happen to do really well at casinos. Of the 10 times I’ve gone, I win 9 times.”
Which only sounds good if we assume he walked in bet once and one once before leaving. Anyone who’s actually been to a casino knows you tend to stay for like an hour or two winning and losing throughout the night. I have won more than “9 times” at a casino, but I’ve also lost more than “9 times” as I’m sure most causal gamblers have
To add to this, one of the most often cited people for the “don’t get a higher education” argument is Steve Jobs because he famously dropped out of Reed. But what they often fail to say or simply do not realize is that Steve remained as a Drop in at Berkeley for two years. He didn’t just leave education, he only left the program he was in and chose to take whatever classes that interested him before his meditation guru(a man who was also a successful entrepreneur) instilled in him a strong business sense. Wozniak also didn’t leave college just to leave, he was actually conflicted when he left and went back later to finish his degree despite being a multi-millionaire. Both men went to college to get what they needed from it, which is really where the value in college lies. It opens the door to things you wouldn’t consider, it allows you to experiment and it teaches young adults that they have choices.
Simply going to college to get a job is stupid, but saying it’s a complete waste of time is also stupid
Yeah, he does seem to have a general lack of rationality or reasoning. It’s like he relies solely on emotional reactions for his videos. The fake story of the guy in CA getting a wrong ballot over a month before ballots were actually mailed stands out to me. Not just because I live in CA and could verify that ballots hadn’t started getting mailed yet, but also because he went on a tirade and shouted “how do you know this is fake?! Did you go to the guy’s house?” When common sense sort of gives it away, regardless of political stance. It’s actually an old creationist argument. “Were you there when evolution took place? No? Then how can you be sure?!”What he said was to not go to school, not go to college.

Umm, he got that ballot. Maybe he was imprecise with his language by saying ballot instead of absentee voter packet, but he wasn't wrong. He just received his actual ballot a few days ago.The fake story of the guy in CA getting a wrong ballot over a month before ballots were actually mailed stands out to me.
Him getting the actual ballot is news to me, but it doesnt change that he did not get it in September which is what Tim sperged aboutUmm, he got that ballot.
