Core Philosophies and Rants (Louis Rossmann)
You’ll be safe if I don’t pay for your panini
In this video, Louis delves into a topic that diverges from his usual content: dating etiquette, specifically who should pay on the first date. The video was prompted by a conversation in which a woman expressed that if a man didn't pay on a first date, it would be a significant turn-off and make her feel unsafe. Louis challenges this notion, arguing that equating a man's failure to pay with feelings of being unsafe is inappropriate and overblown. He suggests that terms like "unsafe" should be reserved for genuinely threatening situations, not for instances where a man doesn't cover...

How to invest in yourself, and the importance of value.
In this episode, Louis discusses the importance of investing in oneself and provides detailed examples from their own experiences. He emphasizes that the initial step is to test an idea with minimal investment to see if it has potential. For instance, he started his YouTube channel with a cheap 200−300 camcorder, which eventually led to a significant increase in business through customer referrals from the channel. This minimal investment turned into substantial revenue, demonstrating that the channel was worth further investment.(I am not affiliated with Louis Rossmann) Original Video: https://youtu.be/9PeLUqt-vd0?si=8D5...

Focusing on money before respect earns you neither.
Louis uses a small claims court scenario to illustrate a broader lesson about customer service and business management. He emphasizes that not all business is good business, especially when dealing with difficult customers. Louis advises against taking on jobs that seem likely to cause more trouble than they are worth, even if it means turning away potential income. He suggests that it's often better to refer such customers to other businesses rather than trying to meet unrealistic expectations or dealing with the fallout of a bad experience.(I am not affiliated with Louis Rossmann) Original Video: https://w...

How to properly reflect on failure.
This episode discusses the concept of failure and the crucial differences in how successful and unsuccessful people perceive and handle it. The key distinction lies in their approach to goals and their focus on either the past or the future. Successful individuals set valid goals, which are achievable actions they can take in the future, such as "next time I will use the proper screwdriver." Conversely, invalid goals focus on the past, such as "I should have used the proper screwdriver," which cannot be changed and thus perpetuate a cycle of failure.Louis emphasizes the importance of...

Louis challenges the common advice that one must find their work fun and be passionate about it to succeed. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of internal motivation and drive, and argues that merely seeking high salaries or stable jobs without a genuine internal drive to solve problems and learn will not lead to success, especially in demanding fields like tech, engineering, or programming.(I am not affiliated with Louis Rossmann)...

If you're going to be the bitch, be the whole bitch! no half bitch allowed here
The video revolves around Rossman's reflections on life lessons learned from a friend named Dino, a large, tattooed man with a criminal past but a kind heart. Dino taught Louis the importance of honesty and accountability in interactions with others. One of Dino's key philosophies was encapsulated in his saying, "If you're going to be a bitch, be the whole bitch," meaning that it's better to be straightforward and honest, even if it is harsh, rather than being deceitful or insincere. Dino valued directness over politeness that masked true intentions, finding it more offensive when people pretended to care...

Don't live life with an employee's mindset; create life as you want it to be.
The video discusses the concept of the "Employee Mindset" and its impact on personal and professional life. Louis argues that the Employee Mindset, instilled from a young age through the education system and societal norms, conditions individuals to accept suboptimal situations without question. This mindset teaches people to follow rules and live with circumstances they dislike because they are not in positions of authority. Louis then contrasts this with the "Employer Mindset" or "Independent Thinker Mindset," which encourages individuals to actively seek and create change in their lives rather than passively accepting their conditions.He recounts his...

A word on manipulation
The video discusses the topic of manipulation, emphasizing how intelligent and logical people can be more susceptible to manipulation than less intelligent individuals. Louis recounts a discussion by Eli the Computer Guy, where it was mentioned that intelligent people can be more easily manipulated because they can be led to agree with small, plausible truths that build up to a larger, manipulative structure. Louis advises that to recognize manipulation, one should step back and evaluate the progression from the initial point to the current situation, questioning whether the small, logical steps make sense in the larger context....

One story involves a restaurant worker who goes out of their way to remember his preferences, which leads him to help them secure an apartment. Despite the worker's gratitude and praise, Rossmann emphasizes that such positive comments are based on limited interactions and should not be internalized as a measure of one's character.Louis also recounts a business venture where he partnered with an investor who later criticized him when the...

This video revolves around Louis' critique of Apple's business practices and user culture, drawing parallels to historical and personal anecdotes. He starts by reminiscing about a high school history teacher, Dr. Yung, who provided a comprehensive understanding of historical contexts, particularly Soviet Russia. This foundation sets the stage for comparing the utopian promises of Soviet Russia to Apple's marketing strategies.Louis acknowledges the strengths of Apple products, such as their seamless integration, superior screens, and user-friendly features like Time Machine for backups.

Beware contracting self-destructive mindsets of self pity and envy
This episode addresses a comment Rossmann received, which criticizes him for being "dumb" and for having better resources due to being born in a more privileged place. Louis uses this as a springboard to discuss a broader issue: the mindset of envy and self-pity. He acknowledges that while he doesn't take such comments personally, he is concerned about the prevalence of this attitude because it is self-destructive and non-productive.

In this episode, Louis emphasizes that children are acutely aware of their surroundings and the behavior of adults, even if they appear to be distracted. He argues that children don't want to feel like a burden and rely on their parents for stability. When parents are frequently stressed or explosive, children may withdraw and keep their problems to themselves, which can make them vulnerable to external threats like bullies or predators who can sense the lack of parental support.The video also touches on how negative childhood experiences can shape an individual's outlook on...

Social Anxiety
This episode discusses social anxiety from two main perspectives: perspective and responsibility/projection. Louis uses an analogy of a person walking through a field and encountering a prison to illustrate how perspective shapes our understanding of freedom and imprisonment. People inside the prison might view the free person as imprisoned because of their limited perspective. This analogy is used to explain how individuals who criticize others for social anxiety may themselves be trapped in the "prison" of caring excessively about others' opinions.To combat social anxiety, Louis suggests that individuals should stop caring about...

I never assume I am the good guy or a good person. Here is why.
Louis elaborates on his personal philosophy of assuming he is the "bad guy" in any situation. This mindset serves as a self-check to prevent him from becoming corrupt or complacent. He contrasts this with the common belief that people are inherently good and only others are evil, arguing that this black-and-white thinking can lead to dangerous self-righteousness. By always questioning his motives and actions, he aims to avoid the pitfalls of power, fame, and success that can lead to unethical behavior.(I am not affiliated with Louis Rossmann) Original Video: https://youtu.be/m7R...

He recount his mother's severe depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), which often manifested in irrational behaviors and misplaced blame on family members. Despite his efforts as a child to use logic and reason to alleviate their mother's distress, Rossmann found that these attempts rarely resulted in lasting change.The key here is maintaining a "full plate" of activities and interests.
