11: Sam Harris - Fighting with Friends: Difference between revisions

'''Sam:'''        00:53:03      Yeah. I mean, I just, he was someone who I didn't want to spend any more time with because he had this sort of schlocky rich guy. But within, well, no, no, I mentioned, but like when you see a, I guess he was probably, you know, close to 60 at this point and you know, he's with a 21 year old, you know, it's like a, it's like the optics of that are all the, I mean, obviously there are many rich guys who do that, you know, and there are many, certainly many people in Hollywood to do that. And you know, that's just the way people, some people roll when they have the opportunity to roll that way and that, okay, fine. But he, there was just a, I have a kind of a level of, you know, judgmentalism around that, you know, it's like, at minimum, that's a, a, an attractor on the, on the landscape of, of wellbeing that is

'''Sam:'''        00:53:58       Not all that interesting to me. And so, when you see someone captivated by that, like this is like life is going great because I'm 60 and she's 20. Right? Like that's the one variable that

'''Eric:'''    00:54:08      We're talking about. His Lamborghini, all the things

'''Sam:'''         00:54:11      That you've, you've, you know, you've board may already. So

'''Sam:'''         00:54:18      But I had no more insight into him than that. I met [inaudible]

'''Eric:'''    00:54:21      Yeah. Three times from one meeting. I've been talking about him for 15 years. Right. You end up, because this was like a 10-person lunch. Okay. And I had maybe, you know, three sentences exchange with him, you know, so mine was at his house, right. I'm ushered into a waiting room. He's got some super complicated electronical electronic art.

I inside, my next thought is I'm supposed to find the camera inside the art because the cam, the art is supposed to draw my attention and I'm supposed to see that I'm being recorded. I'm called out to a room and back with a huge long, it's sort of exaggerated dining table with a giant American flag as its tablecloth, so that any food or drink that is served on it may spill onto an American flag. And I'm just in high alert, like, fuck you, who, who, who are you? And he comes in and he's got this attractive, again over probably 22, 23-year-old woman. I think she's introduced as an heiress or something and he's bouncing her on his knee in order to get my attention. There's some other guy who says nothing during the meeting. I have no idea what he was doing there.
