In this bit9 moments
  • 1:07:31People don't want to hear they have any culpability in the reality they're living in.
  • 1:08:04Two examples everyone experiences: a relationship where you're actually excited to find something to be mad about, and jobs where you become addicted to outrage and victimhood.
  • 1:09:23Even people who are actual victims of oppressive structures aren't helped by dwelling in negativity.
  • 1:10:02Some of the most positive people Tim has met went through the worst things in life—they realized they had the power within themselves to change their frequency.
  • 1:10:29Trump is objectively not doing a good job, but there's something weird about people in media hating him while building entire shows around him.
  • 1:11:04Tim's take: we needed Trump as an over-the-top president to shine a light on how corrupt and full of bullshit the government actually is.
  • 1:11:27Once Trump is gone, things will be completely different—a candid, more honest president will follow.
  • 1:11:47Millennials now understand how government works because of all this exposure, unlike people in the 90s who didn't even know the difference between the House and Senate.
  • 1:12:14Nothing outside of you—good or bad—could affect you once you realize that.
