Ignore the Internet Mobs

The internet is not your friend. October 15, 2019 [WEBSITE]( | [UNSUBSCRIBE]( [Altucher Confidential] “The internet is not your friend. ” [James Altucher and Aaron Berg] Ignore the Internet Mobs By James Altucher [Aaron Berg]( I’ve Never Seen James Altucher Like THIS Before [James Altucher]( What James just said on camera [right here]( will shock you. But fair warning… You’ll want to watch [this]( at your own discretion… Because you might never look at James the same after you [see this.]( [Click here to see this uncensored video from James.]( The internet is not your friend. The free press is collapsing on itself. If you look at the articles for Dave Chapelle’s (brilliant) new special, the press says it’s “Unfunny.” But it has a 99% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Only one headline got it right. CNBC said, [Dave Chapelle banner] The other papers are “outraged.” But are they really? Journalists are competing for clicks. Just like the rest of us. (Please subscribe to my podcast). But we all have different strategies to get (or EARN) your attention. And the mainstream media has chosen it’s method… I want to whisper to these “journalists.” As if they’re Paris Hilton, Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan, pantyless in the early 00’s stepping out a black SUV, legs wide open into a crowd of paparazzi… “Your agenda is showing…” “News” stations are competing for the dollar. Just like everyone else. So VICE writes this: “You Can Definitely Skip Dave Chappelle’s New Netflix Special ‘Sticks & Stones’” And The New York Times said: “Comedy is changing. Dave Chappelle’s latest Netflix comedy special, “Sticks & Stones,” makes us wonder if he can keep up.” “People are being irresponsible with their journalism and their writing,” T.J Miller said. “But the real thing that I think is so tragic… is that this happened when Hitler took over. He said, ‘The Jewish Press’ is lying. And there was enough there for the public to say, ‘Yeah, the press does lie.’” The myth: Outrage = virtue. The truth: Fake Outrage = fake virtue. Journalists are competing for clicks. We all know it. So what happens from here? A few things. The comedians keep making jokes. They elevate awareness. The press continues their attempts to silence and oppress. The president changes his language. From “Fake News” to “Corrupt News.” And people debate issues that literally don’t impact them at all. We lose more touch with reality. And forget where life is. That’s where T.J. comes in. He’s a stand-up comedian. But also a clown. And an improver. And an actor. He does something different with every show. He plays the trombone. Or has someone in the audience play the trombone. He’ll do crowd work. Or change everything when he finds out someone is celebrating their birthday. “I always say, ‘I’ll never perform for this exact audience again. And no audience will see this exact show again…’” That’s how he stays alive. He takes out monotony. And inserts randomness. I’ll give you one example. T.J. did a show in Rahway, New Jersey. And the mayor was there. “So I was like, ‘Mr. Mayor, how are you? Welcome to the show.’ And all this stuff. Then I licked his hand. And I was like, ‘I just licked a mayor! How many of you have ever seen someone lick a mayor? I’m a mayor licker! You taste like good infrastructure and a driven campaign agenda.’ The crowd couldn’t expect this. So they’re laughing. And happy. Because they know they’re only here. They’re in a room with T.J. Miller yelling, “I’m a mayor licker!” If You Use Apps, a Smartphone or Online Banking… [You’d better read this.]( Because, says world-famous futurist George Gilder, we’re headed for a stunning $16.8 trillion reboot that could impact the way you use every single one of those modern tools. It could also radically transform the way you get paid, the way you save and — maybe most of all — the way you invest for retirement. It’s all in his brand-new presentation — [you’ll find it at this link.]( What you’ll see could change our way of life, the way microchips did. The way the internet did. The way smartphones have.
