I stumbled on this thread about Tony backing down from his #metoo statements. I have been listening to a lot of his videos on youtube. My phone lets me download the videos and from about the middle of last year, I have been listening to his videos over and over....to brainwash myself into the type of thinking he talks about, that I want to accomplish.
I can attest that there is a blue pill side to him and it is probably pretty deep. But I also know that a lot of the stuff he talks about is true.
Look at the guy that was his mentor: Jim Rohn. Jim gave many speeches on the topics of changing your life. But most of the clips of the speeches your hear of him were to pimp the ponzi scheme Herbalife.
So, what I am trying to say is that you have to take these people with a grain of salt. If some one teaches something and it works for you, but they fuck up once or twice and say some stupid shit. Does that make all of the other things they taught and you found out actually work, invalid? It might be yes for many people....and I used to be one of those people. But do not ignore a lesson, because somebody does not live up to the mental image you projected on them. These famous people are just people.
I am interested in firearms. I see all of these people teach this karate gunfoo John Wick shit on youtube. I know a few people got called out for being fake mall ninjas that were never in the military or special forces. But some people make very good teachers and suck as a practicioner. So, be open to different schools of thought. If the person has legitimate material, learn from it.
Do not put people on a pedestal, especially when you do not hold yourself to those same standards.
