0:01Good afternoon.
0:16I’ll just eat this snack while you
0:18guys are setting up the sound.
0:20You better finish it, or maybe you'll
0:25share half with me? Thanks. The master
0:30is feeding me.
0:31What a jerk. Ahsar got a Choco Pie.
0:35Ahsar is free.
0:36There’s a whole box of Choco Pies
0:38over there. No, I have to take mine and
0:41get teased for sharing a Choco Pie with
0:43him.
0:44Typical chick.
0:47Today, quite unexpectedly on this
0:49random Sunday, I want to share some
0:51results. I mentioned a while back,
0:53probably about two or three months ago,
0:55that I was on a sort of dopamine detox,
0:57that for a certain amount of time I
0:59wouldn't go on your internets, wouldn't
1:01track anything, just sit around bored,
1:03and so on. And now it’s been 4 months
1:05, almost exactly 4 months, even a bit
1:07more, that I’ve been living by a
1:09certain schedule and specific rules.
1:11Why the hell I’m doing this, we’ll
1:12probably talk about in more detail
1:14later on Boosty. Well, and whatever
1:15fits into this rant right now, I’ll
1:17tell you. Damn, where should I even
1:19start? For healthy people who have no
1:22idea what’s going on.
1:24You can’t go wrong with the Roman
1:25Empire.
1:27So, joking aside, I have to start from
1:29somewhere because it was a long,
1:30stubborn process.
1:32Ancient Romans were the ones who
1:34invented looking at the sky and doing
1:36nothing. Wait, no, the Greeks invented
1:38that.
1:38Yeah, that was the Greeks. They are
1:39professionals at it, true.
1:41Ancient Romans invented hiding under
1:42shields so they’d be as bored as
1:44possible. You know, when you just have
1:46this...oh, never mind. First,
1:50we don’t wait, we prepare.
1:51They’ve put me on the clock.
1:54The team in the era of Zoomers.
1:56I’ve burned out. Let’s start simple
1:58. At some point, did I stop working?
2:00Not from the perspective that I was
2:02just a bit tired or something, but that
2:04for a long period of time I was living
2:06in a mode where I just couldn't do it.
2:08I just get up without wanting to, out
2:11of necessity, crawl to work, and
2:12somehow work. But why I’m working,
2:14it’s unclear. The workload is huge.
2:17The schedule is booked in advance, lots
2:18of tight tasks, like, you wake up in
2:20the morning and you’re like: "So,
2:21what do we have today?" 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
2:246, 7, 8, 9, 10. Uh, just so you know,
2:26this is roughly what my calendar looks
2:27like. Everything is planned, everything
2:29is precise, everything is right on time
2:31, and off we go to live. And at some
2:33point, I noticed that, say, over the
2:34span of a month, or even two, there
2:36wasn't a single bit of pleasure planned
2:38in my life. I think I pushed myself way
2:40too hard, I think I really overdid it
2:42with this whole idea that everything
2:43must be completed, everything must be
2:45done. I must be the best, sir. Yes, sir
2:47. I’ll run, I’ll do everything,
2:49every single task will be crushed,
2:51everything will be finished, everything
2:52will be great. When we’d occasionally
2:54throw out some things in our "
2:56brainstorming" sessions about how I
2:58sometimes live by a stopwatch and
2:59measure everything, we’d immediately
3:01get a ton of comments saying, "Oh damn,
3:03man, you're going to work yourself to
3:05death,""Oh, what a robot you're turning
3:07yourself into," and so on. It’s not
3:09that I hit that wall specifically, but
3:10at some point, you can box yourself
3:12into such constraints that it becomes
3:14impossible to live like that: you need
3:15some life, you need some spontaneity,
3:17you need some emotions, and so on. It
3:19was generally a deliberate strategy for
3:21building business processes, but that
3:22doesn't matter. What matters is that at
3:24some point, you wake up and you don't
3:26want to go to work. And I’m someone
3:28who really, really loves my job and
3:29really, really loves everything that
3:31happens here. Well, for me, that's
3:33strange. I was like, "What do you mean,
3:34I don't want to go to work?" Well, to
3:35be more precise, you can’t catch it
3:36in the moment, like the first time you
3:38felt it and immediately realized what
3:39it was. No, you realize that you’ve
3:41been living in this kind of routine for
3:43quite a long time, like about six
3:45months, where it’s just written down:
3:47you have to do the first thing, the
3:49second thing, the third thing. You go
3:51and do it all because for the first,
3:53second, and third things, everything is
3:54already agreed upon with everyone,
3:55everything has been scheduled long ago,
3:57everything has been set, and under no
3:58circumstances can you let anyone down.
3:59You absolutely have to show up. And it
4:01doesn't matter what you think about it.
4:02And it doesn't matter how you feel
4:03about it. Whether you feel bad, hurt,
4:06sad, happy, joyful, or not—everyone
4:08is like, you absolutely have to show up
4:10right on time, because we already have
4:13a task there. If we suddenly lose track
4:15of a task or mess something up, or if a
4:17deadline starts to slip, the following
4:19tasks slip as well. Everything is very
4:21tight. Running, running, running. And
4:24this has lasted for years in my case,
4:26and at some point I just thought: "Damn
4:28, what for? Why? And for what sake?"
4:32It’s not like I did something about
4:34it right away, but I started to at
4:35least think in that direction, that I
4:37need to do something about it, change
4:38something, that I'm doing something
4:39fundamentally wrong. And that something
4:42needs to be done. I will describe a
4:43more detailed path with personal
4:45examples, meetings, and events on
4:47Telegram. That’s where there’s an
4:49opportunity to think through text and
4:50properly shape it into a coherent idea.
4:52That's where we'll be uploading it all.
4:54Divine, simply divine. Participating in
4:57the development of three businesses at
4:58once is a task for the desperate. But I
5:00can't imagine any other life for myself
5:02. Being everywhere, investing in the
5:04development of fundamentally different
5:05fields is, you could say, my passion.
5:07And when things get tough, examples
5:09from history really help. I’m not the
5:11first one to do this. For example,
5:12William Durant, the founder of General
5:14Motors, managed three companies at once
5:16. Today at Buick, tomorrow at Chevrolet
5:18, the day after at Cadillac. And there
5:20was no internet back then. It's scary
5:21to imagine how slowly the processes we
5:23now take for granted as fast would have
5:25moved. True, now you can work from home
5:27, and the speed of business development
5:29really depends on the internet and
5:31connection speed. You just saw for
5:32yourselves how annoying it is when the
5:34image freezes and the sound is bad.
5:35That’s how regular Wi-Fi works now in
5:37apartment buildings and private houses,
5:39and even within a single apartment,
5:41Wi-Fi doesn't always reach the bedroom.
5:43But Rostelecom has introduced
5:44sixth-generation internet, and that
5:46doesn't happen with it. It is a
5:48technology that makes being online as
5:49stable, fast, and secure as possible.
5:52And that is, in general, all we need
5:53for work. Sixth-generation internet
5:55maintains high speed at home across all
5:57devices at once, even during peak hours
5:59when the whole building connects to the
6:01network. And we all know which room
6:03always has the worst reception. And, as
6:06a rule, that’s where you’re most
6:07comfortable using the internet. With
6:09Rostelecom, the reception will be
6:10equally good everywhere. And not an
6:12obvious but also useful benefit:
6:13devices that support sixth-generation
6:15internet drain their batteries more
6:16slowly. The technology has also been
6:18optimized for energy efficiency. So, if
6:20you work from home, take care of your
6:22internet speed and stability.
6:24AruUSlecom will help with this. New
6:25subscribers get our Test Drive
6:27promotion. Connect to any plan and use
6:30all features for 0 rubles. for 30 days
6:32with new sixth-generation internet.
6:35Link in the description. Well, the
6:41point is that after a certain number of
6:43iterations of analyzing my own crap,
6:45both with specialists in a psych ward
6:47and, essentially, in media—where, you
6:49know, there are actors, musicians, all
6:51these creative types—it's a special
6:53breed in a mental hospital, so you have
6:55to know how to deal with that
6:56separately. So we came to the
6:58conclusion that they come to me and say
6:59: "Look, brother, we need to run an
7:00experiment." Well, more accurately, not
7:03an experiment, like, trust us, give us
7:05six months, and we'll bring back a lot
7:07more motivation for you. I'm like: "
7:09Okay, let's do it." Fine, what do I
7:11need to do? Well, for starters, let's
7:13do it this way. First of all, you now
7:15live on a 4-3 schedule. Four working
7:18days, three days off. At this point
7:20I’m like: "What the hell? What about
7:217-0, are you kidding?" How do I go to
7:24my team? And how do I go to my partners
7:26? How do I handle all of that? It
7:29doesn't matter. I mean, there are just
7:31so many different projects and things
7:32where I absolutely have to be. How do I
7:35do all that if we just take and cut my
7:37working time almost in half?
7:39The cookie situation will be 3 days a
7:40week without cookies. How is that? To
7:43be fair, the cookies didn't go anywhere
7:44. They're still sitting there in the
7:46box, and you just can't take cookies
7:48away from me. Yeah, it's not even tasty
7:50anymore.
7:51I agree. If I had taken his cookies
7:52away, I would have eaten them with
7:54pleasure too.
7:54Yeah,
7:55yeah.
7:55But I'm not giving them up. But, in all
7:59fairness, throughout my series of
8:00experiments with schedules, work
8:02rhythms, different numbers of projects,
8:03screenwriting, and various creative
8:05ideas, we’ve tried every schedule
8:06imaginable! We’ve had times with days
8:09off, long periods of vacation after
8:11major projects, and we've twisted and
8:13turned it every which way. And it felt
8:16like the model that used to work really
8:17well was working for 3 weeks without
8:19looking up, then lying around and
8:20resting for a week, then working for 3
8:21weeks again without looking up. But
8:24that was around 2021-2022. That's
8:25mostly where we were experimenting like
8:27that. It was truly effective, and it
8:29really worked well. I'm like, "Well,
8:30what's going to change?" So there will
8:32be these 3 days off in a row. Well,
8:34well, well, what, what, what will
8:36fundamentally change? They're like, "
8:38Wait, that's the first rule. The second
8:40rule, on workdays, when you have work,
8:43when you need to do work, you designate
8:46a workspace, some desk, some specific
8:48chair, just some specific place where
8:51you come and work. And at this
8:53workspace, you only do work, nothing
8:56else. You don't, you know, just call up
8:58friends to chat. You don't spend time
9:01scrolling through social media. You
9:02don't consume any content that isn't
9:04related to work. Only work at the
9:06workspace. Your workday starts, well,
9:08at whatever time you set for yourself,
9:09at 10:00 AM, for example. And, well, if
9:11it's an eight-hour day, then, well, you
9:14sit in that chair or at that workspace
9:16until 6:00 PM. It could be your office,
9:18it could be a specific table in a café
9:20, it could be a desk in an office, it
9:22doesn't matter. You sit down there at
9:248:00 AM or 12:00 PM, well, depending on
9:26the day, it doesn't matter, and you
9:28work strictly at this workspace. If
9:29you've completed all your work tasks
9:31and you have no more work tasks for
9:33today, then you have two options.
9:34Either you just sit there and stare at
9:36your laptop, at a blank screen, without
9:38getting up. Well, that's it, you just
9:40sit there, well, you can walk around
9:41the office, it doesn't matter. But you
9:42still can't do anything else, only work
9:44. Or you close your laptop and leave,
9:46and you won't have any more work for
9:48today. That's how four workdays go by.
9:49Days off, accordingly, well, however
9:51you assign them in the week, it doesn't
9:53matter. Well, somehow, on your days off
9:55, you are forbidden from consuming any
9:56content at all. Books, podcasts, music,
9:59social media, movies, series, any of it
10:02. Just anything at all. Okay, fine, if
10:05there's some event or if, let's say,
10:07you and your girlfriend decided to
10:09spend the evening together, you can
10:11watch something for up to 2 hours if
10:12it's an event. If it's a movie, a
10:15series, Formula 1, or something like
10:17that. But just pulling out your phone
10:19and doing something on it, nein, I'm
10:21like:" So, on the weekend you do
10:23strictly what I want, and no 'need to's
10:25'. "But that’s a separate process; I
10:27still need to figure out what I really
10:28want and what I need. It doesn’t
10:30matter. The most important thing is
10:31that, like, that’s it. No content, no
10:32entertainment. If you don't know what
10:34to do, you sit on the couch and just
10:36sit on the couch. You can't watch
10:37content. And I've essentially been
10:39living like this since September 8th.
10:40Magnificent.
10:41Staring at a wall, like, just
10:42metaphorically.
10:43Yes.
10:44And you don't sniff glue either?
10:46No.
10:47And paint?
10:48No.
10:48And gasoline?
10:49No. I went to Nizhny Novgorod in
10:52October for tests, you know, to train
10:55at NRing. I think I mentioned it in the
10:57news, that we went there, tested some
10:59things on the Polo, and so on. So, I
11:00arrive for two days. NRing isn't
11:02actually in Nizhny Novgorod, but in the
11:03Nizhny Novgorod region. It's like an
11:05hour or an hour and a half from the
11:06city. Somewhere around there. In short,
11:07there’s nothing around. Just
11:09absolutely nothing. The racetrack just
11:11stands in the woods and that’s it. At
11:12the track itself, there's a hotel
11:14located right inside the grandstand.
11:17You have the spectator stand, and under
11:19the spectators, under the seats, you
11:21have hotel rooms. The room looks like
11:23this: you just have a bed, a shower,
11:25that's it, nothing else. Well, a table
11:26with water.
11:27Shower, a shower right over the bed,
11:28basically.
11:29No, they’re actually decent, normal
11:31rooms, really.
11:32Everything inside switches on
11:33automatically. And so, you know, track
11:35day, we’re training, we’re doing
11:37this and that, turning left and right.
11:39At 5:00 PM, the track day ends because
11:41the sun has already set. We spend about
11:43an hour packing up, tidying things up,
11:45and going over things. By 6:00 PM,
11:46I’ve already had a snack. I mean,
11:48I’ve had dinner. There’s a shawarma
11:49place nearby. Like, right nearby,
11:51it’s just absolutely magnificent.
11:52It’s called a shashlik place, but the
11:54shawarma there is [ __ ] amazing.
11:55No, we’ve been there.
11:56Yes.
11:57They really make some great grilled
11:58potatoes there for next to nothing. And
12:00if you ever happen to find yourself
12:02near NRing, you have to get the VIP
12:04shawarma. They have a regular shawarma
12:06for, I think, 350 rubles. There’s a
12:09VIP shawarma for 370 and some other one
12:10, something super-deluxe, I don’t
12:12remember, like for 400. They only
12:14differ in size, that's it. Nothing else
12:16.
12:16Maybe it's not VIP, but 6-PI. Well, the
12:19stick.
12:20Also the first one.
12:21P.
12:26Damn, what even is that? Yes.
12:28After the shoot, I'll show you the room
12:30where I cry. So, anyway, you go up at
12:356:00 PM to your room on the balcony.
12:37You're not allowed anything. No social
12:40media, no Telegram channels, uh, no TV,
12:42not a damn thing. You sit in the chair
12:45at 6:00, at 6:05.
12:46And there is a cuckold chair there.
12:48This one in
12:48is there. I am literally on it.
12:526:07.
12:53May I ask a very delicate question?
12:56Jerking off for 5 minutes. If anything,
12:59no, um
13:00you'll get tired of jerking off for 5
13:01hours, if that's what you mean.
13:03Fine, I wanted to sort of pretend that,
13:06like, with a woman, like,
13:09yeah, the whole life, not the life that
13:10is your life, but just like, normal
13:12life, like going to the theater, that's
13:13okay.
13:14She can retell you TV shows over
13:18Yeah, well, conversations are okay.
13:20We missed the phrase where Axar said,"
13:22I'll pretend I'm with a woman. "Well,
13:25like, not manual labor, but a woman.
13:29Manual labor.
13:30A dress for a hand.
13:34Sorry, I imagined that ghost. Damn, we
13:37have Camry-sha. Nobody has seen her in
13:41a long time, by the way.
13:46She dried up long ago.
13:48I don't know about you, but I'm 34. And
13:52every evening for 4 hours, for 4 months
13:54, you'll have to talk. I mean, you'll
13:58have to do something else besides, uh,
14:00what is usually meant with women. What
14:03were you talking about just now?
14:04Like, buying them gifts.
14:05Well, I don't know. Well, in short,
14:07like, you have all these things, and
14:08your very first natural desire is what
14:10you can do. You can enjoy yourself
14:13somewhere with friends in a bar, go
14:14somewhere, maybe attend some event,
14:16maybe go somewhere you've long wanted
14:18to, maybe go to an exhibition, well,
14:20something like that. But all these
14:22entertainments will end very quickly.
14:24Very quickly. Even for me, considering
14:26I had a lot of things to do, thinking:
14:27I want to visit my parents, I want to
14:29visit my friends there, here, oh, I
14:31want to go go-karting, I want to go to
14:32some tests, I haven't done that in a
14:34long time, I haven't done this in a
14:35long time—I finished everything by
14:37mid-October. I did absolutely
14:38everything, the whole lot. Everything.
14:40What I missed, what I wanted, and so on
14:42. Everything. In mid-October, I'm
14:44sitting there anew. Friday, damn, 9:00
14:49AM, I'll go for a run. Back at 9:40.
14:53And you know what you didn't do?
14:55What?
14:55In the sandbox, like a Kamaz truck, and
14:57a bucket like that, and all of that,
14:59and construction.
15:00I built three LEGO sets. They’d been
15:02sitting there since '21.
15:03And I only ever saw the boxes at your
15:04place. You must have put them somewhere
15:06.
15:06Yeah, they kind of just vanished
15:07somewhere. Well, obviously, you
15:10immediately start dealing with chores,
15:12like remodeling the office, turning
15:13half the house upside down, and with
15:15the missus, it's always" let's go here,
15:16let's go there, "" let's buy this, ""
15:18let's order that. "I was picking out
15:20plates for the house, damn it. You
15:22couldn't give a crap about plates
15:23usually. But now you're like," Oh,
15:25picking out plates. "I love picking out
15:27plates. We absolutely have to go pick
15:28out plates. These ones with the flowers
15:29, these ones with the trim, these ones.
15:30That's it. I mean, like, you instantly
15:32get dragged into some...
15:33Brother, Gzhel. Gzhel, brother. Yeah,
15:34yeah, exactly. You sit there and think,
15:37" Damn, this is [ __ ] up. "But really,
15:40when you've been running at high speed
15:43for years, not only are you constantly
15:45working, but you're also burning
15:48through your free time consuming social
15:50media content, plus—well, we're all
15:53YouTubers here—you have to watch what
15:55your colleagues are doing, study stuff,
15:58study trends and what's not. So,
16:01besides the actual work process, you're
16:02stuffing your head with a metric ton of
16:04content. You're just feeding yourself
16:06everything under the sun. And coming
16:09from a mode like that, where your
16:11nervous system has been wired that way
16:13for years, to just slam on the brakes
16:15—it’s hell. I mean, October was a
16:19very interesting month, a really
16:21interesting month, but I've kind of
16:23settled in now. And basically, a role
16:25model—imagine you're a guy from the
16:27seventies, but you don't even have a
16:28phone on you because they haven't been
16:30invented yet. You don't need a TV
16:32because there's nothing interesting on
16:33it anyway. How did you not start
16:35drinking?
16:36I held out. And I can't really get into
16:37drinking anyway. I mean, I’m just not
16:39a drinker; it wouldn't work for me.
16:42Not a drinker.
16:43I mean, like, going on a bender or
16:45getting high or whatever.
16:47Oh, you want me to show you how?
16:49Like I haven't seen an alcoholic before
16:51? Good lord, every other friend of mine
16:53is one. And this whole thing works the
16:55following way. Like, talking about
16:57dopamine detox, or some local ADHD, or
17:00stuff like that. Many have heard this
17:04on the internet, but basically you have
17:06a brain that is, for the most part,
17:08subconscious and an ancient reptilian
17:10animal. And the prefrontal cortex,
17:13which is essentially you as a human, uh
17:15, consciousness. And your inner animal
17:17essentially needs, well, very simple
17:19things. It just needs, like, to eat,
17:21safety, to reproduce, that's it,
17:25repeat.
17:26Well, repeat. The prefrontal cortex is
17:27fully formed by twenty-seven.
17:29Yes, but that doesn't mean it isn't
17:30there before that. It is there,
17:32but it doesn't work the way,
17:34it doesn't not work that way. I mean,
17:35like, somewhere it really,
17:36well, you can wreck it
17:37no problem, but at 27, 28, you
17:39seriously, well, you really gain some
17:41brains. There's this feeling that you
17:43actually start thinking differently,
17:44processing things differently, and so
17:46on. We've talked about this a lot.
17:47Oleg on Boosty said that before 27 you
17:49aren't really a human at all.
17:50Not a human at all. Everything, right,
17:52everything is correct. Everything, I
17:53generally agree with him. Well, overall
17:55, in the details we have many
17:56disagreements, but in general, yes, I
17:58too was a very interesting character
18:00before 27. I often treat people that
18:03way too, well, at times. But, in short,
18:07the main thing is that if you
18:08constantly need to run somewhere, do
18:10something, consume some content, and
18:12are constantly stuffing things into
18:13yourself, constantly running around,
18:15trying to keep up with something for
18:16some reason—the beast inside thinks:"
18:18Well, apparently, we are in danger. "
18:20Well, since you need to run somewhere,
18:22since you're constantly running
18:23somewhere, for no apparent reason, but
18:25you have to. Well, okay, that means we
18:27are, like, well, in danger, apparently.
18:29Apparently, you can't feel safe, you
18:31have to run somewhere, do something. On
18:34the other hand, when the body is in
18:35danger, it releases a whole bunch of
18:37hormones: adrenaline, norepinephrine,
18:39and so on down the list, which simply
18:40block your consciousness. And
18:42essentially, when you are extremely
18:44overloaded, and when you are extremely
18:45exhausted, and when you are constantly
18:47in such a harsh working mode, you are
18:48basically living on reflexes. And
18:50that's the problem, that stopping to
18:52think is impossible, and all the
18:54thoughts that can enter your tired head
18:56are all based on reflexes, they're all
18:58about survival, they're all just:" Oh
19:00crap, let's just make it to Monday. "Oh
19:03, I mean, until Friday or Saturday or
19:04something, until evening, whatever.
19:06We’ll just lie down, calm down, and
19:07that’s it. And we’ll try to
19:09maintain some sense of safety. But
19:10finding anything bright, anything
19:12interesting, any motivation or things
19:14like that is impossible. And any kind
19:16of content drains you, drains you a lot
19:18. Even traveling is draining, it turns
19:20out; when you go to new countries and
19:23new places, with new people, new events
19:25, and so on, that also really exhausts
19:27your nervous system. And sometimes you
19:29have a vacation that just makes you
19:31want to rest some more and lie down.
19:32That’s how all my vacations were back
19:34then. And, well, the first two months
19:36were just hell. You don’t know what
19:37to do with yourself. You’re just...
19:39you’re so on edge, so used to having
19:41hormones constantly flooding in,
19:43dopamine constantly rushing, something
19:45always happening, you’re constantly
19:47scrolling, seeing things, tracking this
19:49, tracking that, tracking here, plus
19:51work, and a ton of different political
19:54events. We’ve got chats here, chats
19:56there, memes here, cat videos there.
19:58And all of that is constantly flying at
20:00you; when you try to get off it, you
20:02realize it’s a real drug. A very
20:04strong drug. So, I’m in the process
20:06of quitting. So far, since September
20:088th, I’ve only had two relapses where
20:10I exceeded my daily limit.
20:12Did they tell you to cut out sugar?
20:14I don’t eat it by design. I rarely
20:16eat sweets.
20:17That’s why I took that Choco Pie from
20:19you.
20:20I mean, this Choco Pie, you know
20:22yourself that I eat one like once a
20:24week or a month, if that. So, it’s a
20:25rare occurrence for me.
20:26What you’re talking about, what
20:28you’re describing, I tried to do a
20:30scaled-down version of the same thing.
20:31I lasted a month. Yeah.
20:33And that was it. It’s very hard.
20:35Actually,
20:37it’s very hard, because when you’re
20:39sitting on this damn chair, or having
20:41this damn evening at home or not at
20:44home, or somewhere, you start thinking:
20:47" Oh, this is starting to feel
20:48unpleasant. "And actually, honestly, in
20:51normal times, when you, let's say, feel
20:53that something is really bothering you,
20:56or there are situations that worry you
20:58or something like that, you get this
21:00gap in your routine life to think and
21:02process things. And if there are any
21:05unpleasant thoughts, the first thing
21:06you'll do if they suddenly appear is
21:08likely reach for your phone and just
21:10zone out automatically. Like, maybe
21:11check a news feed, put on a video, or
21:13go play games, just something. Just so
21:15you don't have to deal with that damn
21:17unpleasant conversation with yourself,
21:19because, well, that’s going to be
21:20uncomfortable. It’s like, damn, here
21:24I am, hello. I’ve thought about a lot
21:26of things over the last, what is it,
21:28four months. And I’ll be posting all
21:30of this in small doses on the Boe
21:32Telegram channel, and I’ll pull some
21:35of it here to share with a wider
21:37audience. A lot has already happened
21:38that you haven’t seen yet, but
21:40you’ll see the results at some point
21:41in the future. Waiting for comments.
21:43Anything to keep him busy, as long as
21:44he doesn't have to write the union.
21:47But the experiment is extremely
21:48interesting, and I recommend it to you.
21:50Yeah, turns out you can't read all the
21:52secret documents either.
21:53If it’s a work task at your workplace
21:55, you can. I mean, like, I seriously, I
21:58come now, I have four designated
21:59workplaces. My office at home, a couple
22:02of desks, specific tables in specific
22:05places where I have breakfast or maybe
22:07lunch, and so on. And here too,
22:10everything that happens here is work.
22:12You arrive, you sit down, you open your
22:14things, and your brain immediately
22:15switches into a different mode. You're
22:18not in a public place anymore; you’ve
22:20clearly come to work. If you only work
22:23in one specific place, you know, it’s
22:25like going to the gym; your body feels
22:27it on a physical level, like," Okay,
22:29time for sports, "because the brain
22:31sees it and thinks," Oh, this is the
22:33sports place, I know this, I'm used to
22:35it, I know what's coming. "That’s it,
22:37and,
22:38please, let's go. And you won't have
22:41any other thoughts about it.
22:42No, actually, playing football is a
22:44really nice feeling. You arrive and you
22:46completely disconnect from the outside
22:47world and you're just there in the
22:48moment.
22:49Yeah, exactly, and that's it for you. I
22:51mean, the brain understands places very
22:53well if you maintain this hygiene, like
22:55not bringing work home, not bringing
22:56home to work, not bringing friends, or,
22:58well, in short, when you divide all
23:00these things properly, and you don't
23:02have that situation where you get
23:04together with friends, but some guy is
23:06constantly on his phone, just like:"
23:07Yeah, yeah, hold on, one sec, yeah,
23:09uh-huh, sure, yeah, uh-huh, yeah. "And
23:11you're telling a friend something, and
23:13he's just like:" Oh, oh, damn. "You
23:15know he's just ignoring everything, and
23:16, like, what's the point of hanging out
23:18like that? I had a situation like that;
23:20a friend and I were driving, he was
23:22telling me something, and I was glued
23:23to my phone, right?
23:24And he understood the vibe, well, like
23:27...
23:28Yeah, yeah, because it’s obvious
23:29right away that he caught on that I
23:31wasn't paying attention. He says:"
23:33Akhsar, remember, he says, you owe me,
23:34oh, I owed you 1,000 rubles. "I say:"
23:36Yeah, I remember. Let's, he says, you
23:37fill me up for 500 rubles right now. ""
23:39And we'll be square. "I say:" Yeah,
23:41yeah, sure. "Well done, well done. It's
23:49a shocking, amazing feeling. Try
23:52putting your phone in your backpack.
23:54What for?
23:56I actually carry it in my backpack
23:57periodically now.
23:58But what if someone messages me and I
24:00don't know?
24:01I don't give a damn. I'll get to my
24:03workspace and handle all my tasks. You
24:05definitely feel that I've started doing
24:08more, responding more, and being
24:09reachable more often.
24:11That's true.
24:11It’s clearly understood that on that
24:13day, you shouldn't expect me. I’m not
24:15coming. I’m god knows where. It’s
24:17my day off. Screw everyone. But on a
24:19workday, I'm here. Your chat can be
24:22used as a shopping list on weekends,
24:24yeah, because again, my phone isn't in
24:25my pants anymore, I mean, in my pocket,
24:27it's very often just somewhere...I even
24:29walk around sometimes and can't feel my
24:31phone. Back then, it was impossible to
24:34lose my phone because, well, it was
24:35either in my hand or right here in my
24:37pocket. Sometimes it’s in my left
24:39jacket pocket. There were no other
24:41places where my phone could be. Finding
24:43it now, damn it, is a real task
24:45sometimes, a real challenge.
24:48Listen, and filming news at home is
24:49also, partly, why, well, like, I enjoy
24:51filming news.
24:52Filming news at home, yes.
24:55Well, there’s a specific chair I can
24:57use to move around the apartment and
24:59work from the office. It was hilarious,
25:02we recently had a work meeting with the
25:04guys, and, well, it just so happened
25:06that we had nowhere else to go, so we
25:07could come into my office. If we are
25:10somewhere, they’re just, well, normal
25:12people, they can do whatever, but I’m
25:13there with this chair like an idiot
25:15constantly following them, because I
25:16sit on it to work, damn it. That’s
25:18what I was told, and that’s what
25:19I’m doing now. Obviously, these are
25:20just stopgaps for now. And it currently
25:22looks as exaggerated and funny as can
25:24be. Eventually, these boundaries will
25:26blur, but you need to cultivate a
25:28proper sense of hygiene regarding work
25:30time, personal time, and content
25:32consumption. When I consume content,
25:35what kind of content I consume, am I
25:36consuming it, do I even need it, or
25:38should my mind be free. It’s like,
25:40well, with the feeling of thirst.
25:42There’s that thing where if you, say,
25:44aren't drinking your 2 liters of water
25:46a day, then starting to do so is a real
25:48pain in the ass. It really is a task.
25:50Well, I used to walk around with a
25:51liter and a half bottle all the time a
25:53long time ago. Like, I’d take a 1.5-
25:55liter bottle from home, and I had to
25:56finish that specific bottle throughout
25:58the day. But then you just develop a
25:59normal sense of thirst, and you end up
26:01drinking those two or three liters on
26:03your own. It’s pretty much the exact
26:04same process here. At first, for the
26:06first two months, I was really just
26:07like a robot, walking around, sitting
26:09here, doing everything, then stopping.
26:11It’s a bit freer now, but the
26:12principle is exactly the same. The
26:14first breakfast was so damn strange.
26:15Without a phone,
26:16yes. So, on September 8th, I show up at
26:19the place where I have breakfast. I
26:22usually arrive, order the same eggs
26:24I’ve been having for years, open my
26:26phone and, well, check what happened,
26:27any news, maybe someone posted
26:29something new, maybe someone put out a
26:31video, check my subscriptions, and so
26:33on. But this time, I couldn't. So,
26:35naturally, you arrive and you're like,"
26:36I'll have the scrambled eggs, "and the
26:38waiter is like," Sure thing, right away
26:39. "And how long does he usually take to
26:41bring the eggs? Is that already a proft
26:43does he usually pull through in about
26:45one and a half videos or not? What
26:47about the coffee? I'm like, why aren't
26:49you bringing me my coffee? Fine, I
26:52guess that takes a while. Okay, the
26:53people, they're all just sitting there
26:55on their phones. I want to, too, damn
26:57it, but I can't. And you're like," Well
27:00, it is what it is. "
27:03You can't listen to music either
27:04you're just sitting there without
27:06headphones.
27:06Just using noise cancellation while I
27:07sit there. Uh-huh.
27:08At least I could eavesdrop on what
27:09people are talking about.
27:11You can listen to music if you're going
27:13somewhere, like for fun, not work. As
27:17long as you don't get too deeply
27:18involved in it.
27:19And if you're driving,
27:20that's okay. If you're driving
27:21somewhere by car, that's fine too. But
27:22it doesn't, it doesn't save you. It's
27:23not like you'd say," I'm off to drive
27:25around the city and listen to music. "
27:27It's not, I mean, you are just totally
27:29bored, it's insane. Like, everywhere.
27:30Wherever you go, it's just really
27:31boring. Music while driving won't
27:33really help.
27:35What you're telling me, I realize it's
27:37starting to scare me, because I have
27:38all these same behavioral patterns as
27:40you, and they're scary. Like you say,
27:43how can you sit in a café without a
27:44phone? I, I come home.
27:46But you realize that what's scary isn't
27:48what I'm saying, but what you're saying
27:49.
27:49Yeah.
27:50I mean, it actually sounds like that. I
27:51can't sit in a café without my phone.
27:53Uh, my wife is sitting across from me.
27:55I don't care that she's sitting
27:57opposite me, I'll turn on my phone and
27:59eat with her, with her right there, and
28:01stare at the phone.
28:02Well, yeah. And she'll probably do the
28:04same thing.
28:04No, she'll say," You're annoying,
28:07sorry,
28:08you're annoying with that phone of
28:09yours. "
28:09That's actually a normal thing. I mean,
28:11now I have nothing else to do. I just
28:12sit and watch people and keep my
28:14composure. I wouldn't have been able to
28:15hold out that long.
28:16It's hard for 2 months, the first 2
28:18months are really hard. You have to,
28:20dammit, hold on to the table with your
28:22teeth. It's really tough. But then it
28:25lets go.
28:26You advised me, and I woke up on Sunday
28:28without my phone and was like,"
28:29Everything's fine. "Like," Damn, let's
28:32go to a museum. "We went to the museum,
28:34and then I ended up with a second cat
28:35at home that day. Like, if I had been
28:37on my phone, he wouldn't have...
28:39I got myself a woman.
28:42And the second code is at home. Yes.
28:43And the second code is at home. with
28:44her,
28:45right?
28:46Oh, man, I need to test that too.
28:49I tried walking without music or any of
28:51that stuff once. I just walked, and
28:54walked, and walked. And at the
28:56fifteen-minute mark, I remembered every
28:58mistake I’ve ever made.
29:00Yeah, that’s normal.
29:02All the awkward moments, some jokes,
29:05this and that.
29:08Yeah, yeah. Yeah. At that point, I
29:10really wanted to reach for my phone,
29:12because, well, you just scroll and
29:14don't think. So it's Friday morning,
29:18you’re walking along with all these
29:19thoughts, and you realize you have
29:21three whole days of these thoughts
29:22ahead of you. Man, I wanted to go to
29:25work so bad, you have no idea.
29:28I’m going to delete the Reels app
29:29right now, let's see what happens.
29:31Yeah, man, I have all of that. I mean,
29:33I have it all on my phone. I also set
29:36timers for myself, installed apps where
29:39you click on social media and it starts
29:42a timer like" wait 15 seconds, are you
29:44sure you need this, "well,
29:47and so on. I set up every screen lock,
29:49none of it works. I mean, it's like
29:52other addictions, with nicotine,
29:54alcohol, and so on; you can either quit
29:56or you can't. Everything else just
29:58doesn't work. This whole thing of
30:00saying" I'm quitting smoking "but not
30:02smoking cigarettes while smoking
30:04something else, like a hookah, or IQOS,
30:06or a vape, or all that. Or smoking
30:09twice a day, once a week. It’s all
30:12[ __ ].
30:12No, I just don't smoke, but a hookah,
30:14like, I might smoke it once a month or
30:16so.
30:17Well yeah, that’s still okay. But
30:18usually, people who quit smoking and,
30:20let's say, switch to—you shouldn't
30:22smoke at all under any circumstances.
30:23Ugh, throw that away, ugh. And they
30:26switch to, say, vapes or IQOS and so on
30:29. Later on, they end up smoking all of
30:31them—this, that, and the third—and
30:33in the end, even more than they did
30:34initially. So, well, crutches are just
30:37crutches.
30:37Well, Andryukha has some kind of vape
30:39that’s supposed to stop him from
30:40smoking.
30:41Uh-huh. It has a guest mode, so it’s
30:42all good. He gets completely blasted on
30:44that thing, no problem at all. How did
30:45we end up here? I forgot.
30:47Today is a workday. You came in, sat in
30:50the chair, and told half of it to
30:52Boosty. I
30:53think this video should be uploaded to
30:54Boosty? No, no, everything on Boosty
30:55will be different and more detailed.
30:57You made content about not watching
30:59content.
31:00Yes, yes, that’s actually how it is.
31:01We actually say this quite often, like
31:04don't doomscroll the feed, unsubscribe
31:07from news outlets, screw them. And I
31:09practiced a lot of this myself, but you
31:12still fall into it, dammit. Even if you
31:14tell yourself:" Okay, I'm not reading
31:16these specific channels. "You'll still
31:18just find other channels to get hooked
31:20on, sit there, and so on. Besides, I
31:23didn't miss anything important; I'm
31:25still just as informed about what's
31:27going on, more or less. And when you
31:30have that thing where you only have one
31:33hour today to consume some content, you
31:36immediately have, like, a very high
31:38prioritization. It just happens
31:40automatically, like, I’m ready to
31:42watch this, this, and this—I need to,
31:44I want to, I really want to. I won’t
31:45just feed myself every bit of garbage,
31:47especially with modern AI technologies
31:49in Shorts, Reels, Telegram channels,
31:51and so on. There’s also so much, well
31:53, just blatant fake AI-generated
31:54garbage there too. You just, well,
31:56choose content in measured doses,
31:59onboards and F1 memes,
32:01and you watch it very carefully. I mean
32:03, we’re making content about people
32:05watching less content. No, just, well,
32:07choose what you really want and watch
32:10it, but in moderation. Well, first and
32:12foremost, you need to cut out
32:13short-form content because it strains
32:15the brain the most.
32:16It’s just, yeah, it’s a dopamine
32:17disaster. If I go into Reels for 10
32:20minutes now with my current head
32:22configuration, I feel like I’ve been
32:24screwed in the head afterward. I can
32:26literally feel it, I can feel it
32:28buzzing from how much dopamine you’ve
32:29received.
32:31Yeah, that’s when you wake up in the
32:32morning, start scrolling Reels, get out
32:34of bed, and you’re already tired.
32:36You’re already like, that’s it,
32:38I’m done for the day.
32:39Roma Tirushkin was talking about it. On
32:41Boosty, about how they used to give
32:43their kids a tablet just to, like,
32:46distract them. And from this, children
32:48start, well, like, tantrums begin,
32:50their behavior changes a lot, like you
32:52take it away, and after some time
32:54everything is normal again.
32:56Exactly the same thing. If you think
32:57that adults are somehow very different,
32:59no, teachers in schools now are not to
33:01be envied.
33:02Mm,
33:02grabbing a student's attention,
33:05damn, it's very difficult. Very
33:07difficult. So, in short, take care of
33:08your sanity. That’s probably the main
33:10take. And I highly recommend that today
33:12, Sunday, at least today, let this be
33:15the last content you watch today, and
33:17go do something else, enjoy life. Live
33:19like that for a week, at least. Well,
33:21at least the point is, again, a week
33:23doesn't work. You need to do it for a
33:27few months,
33:28well, start with a week at least, so a
33:30habit develops a little bit.
33:32A habit won't form in that time. I mean
33:35, for the first two months, my schedule
33:37actually became even tighter because in
33:39all my free evenings—which I realized
33:41were now non-working hours—plus
33:43weekends, I started stuffing everything
33:45imaginable into them. Everything I
33:48wanted to do. Just everything has to be
33:49done, damn it, today, in a week, just
33:51everything. Simply because, like, your
33:53nervous system is overloaded, it’s
33:55jittery, and you need to. I mean, like,
33:57you, damn it, won't calm down until you
33:59get it all done. And it doesn't matter
34:01if it's a work deadline, the weekend,
34:02or anything like that. And I only
34:04started to relax, well, probably in
34:06November, when I can actually sit at
34:08home for 3 days now, literally doing
34:10nothing. Well, going out somewhere
34:11occasionally. Just walking like this,
34:14snow, rain, a twig, birds, tweet-tweet.
34:16In short, just like in childhood, when
34:18you found a stick and spent 3 hours
34:20a very, very similar state, yeah, like
34:22you’re really, just like when
34:23you’re burning a fire and staring
34:25into the fire. When I visit my parents,
34:27that's it, I immediately take an axe,
34:28go out, and chop some wood. Stacked
34:30them with some cool stuff, lit them up,
34:32it burns, and I’m like:" That's it,
34:34busy for 2 hours. "
34:36Dug a moat around it so they wouldn't
34:38attack.
34:40No, listen, a dacha is the kind of
34:42place where you go and time just
34:43collapses like that. There is always
34:45something to do there. At any dacha, it
34:47doesn't matter if it's under
34:49construction, finished, small, big,
34:51whatever, like, there's always
34:52something to do. By the way, another
34:55thing is that when you're in the city,
34:58well, let's take Moscow, you exist
34:59within the city's rhythm, then you get
35:02out of the city, at first you're
35:03uncomfortable, then you relax a little,
35:06and you're like," Damn, it turns out I
35:08really needed this. "
35:10Uh-huh. It's exactly the same process.
35:13Exactly the same. Only you're inside
35:15the city. So, you're walking down the
35:16street in the city, like:" [ __ ], where
35:17is everyone running to? Are you all
35:19really that busy or what? What? What is
35:21it? "Well, it's horrifying. On one hand
35:22, of course. Uh, on the other hand,
35:24it's a very cool feeling, but again,
35:25we'll share the details. And on that
35:27note, let's move on to the news. There
35:32is news that we definitely need to
35:33discuss. Like, absolutely. Like, our
35:36day today will be wasted if we don't
35:38discuss this news, because a plane
35:39landed on the roof of a Toyota Camry in
35:41the USA. A plane on a plane. Ah,
35:46a plane on a rocket.
35:49That's in another part of the planet.
35:50Wait, is this
35:55cut
35:56not Barson Tons.
35:57Oh-oh-oh.
35:58No, honestly, the situation is scary
36:00because, well, it's not a joke, these
36:02aren't extreme sports enthusiasts
36:04trying to have a laugh, but the person
36:06who was actually flying the plane had
36:08something go wrong. They reported that
36:10they had some kind of engine problem
36:11and needed to make an emergency landing
36:13somewhere. The only thing nearby was a
36:14highway. And since the Camry was moving
36:17at the speed of the plane, it couldn't
36:19dodge it. And just imagine, you're
36:21driving in a car,
36:22and he was listening to Highway to Hell
36:24at that moment.
36:26Whose car?
36:27Both of them.
36:28They must have been on the same
36:30wavelength.
36:31How lucky do you have to be for that to
36:33happen to you? A
36:35This happened in America. It's, uh,
36:37reverse kamikaze, it turns out.
36:38Well, yeah,
36:39into a Japanese car.
36:40Tsunoda flew home.
36:42Imagine if some veteran was driving.
36:46Are there any casualties?
36:47No, no. But the driver was taken away
36:49with minor bruises. In the Camry and
36:50the plane, no one was hurt at all.
36:52Well, that proves once again that
36:54aviation is safer than driving a car.
36:57When aviation falls from above onto a
36:58car. Well, probably, yeah.
37:00Oh my gaga.
37:03And what kind of plane was it? It's not
37:04written.
37:05And you don't know?
37:05It's hard to guess by the look of it
37:07right away. Ah, a twin-engine. Ah,
37:10only for that reason it could catch up
37:11to a Camry.
37:12Ah, here
37:14Yeah, otherwise it wouldn't have stood
37:15a chance.
37:16Wait, wait. It's called a Beechcraft.
37:18Yes,
37:21it it's
37:22Beech
37:23it should ideally be named that way,
37:25because
37:27the most important thing is that no one
37:28was seriously hurt, but the case is
37:29certainly unique.
37:30And where are the airbags in a plane?
37:33Oh, by the way, modern planes do have
37:35airbags. They are inside the seatbelts.
37:37Your seatbelts just inflate, the
37:39surface area increases, and,
37:40accordingly, you get injured less, and
37:43your seats have suspension. You can at
37:45least find a piece of the person later,
37:46right? There. Well, like,
37:47yeah, heck, modern light aviation is a
37:50super safe thing. Antokha told me last
37:53time, he said," You didn't push Stas
37:54hard enough and didn't convince him. "
37:56Now I'm going to push you. Got it? Come
37:58on,
37:59come on, confess.
38:01Well, helicopter aviation—that's a
38:04no-go. Airplane aviation is fine.
38:05Anyway, there's a company, Pilatus,
38:07which has a parachute in all its planes
38:09as a base feature. Uh-huh. It fires out
38:13and the parachute opens and
38:15and everything is safe,
38:16right?
38:18That's if your engine failed, you don't
38:20safety rocket.
38:22If your engine failed and you didn't
38:23find a place to land,
38:25then you get shot out of the plane on a
38:26rocket with a parachute, and there
38:28you'll definitely find a place to land.
38:29No, heck, I can imagine that manual.
38:31First, find a field, second point, find
38:34a Camry, and third,
38:37even hit it with a rocket. No, I mean
38:40the plane itself is on a parachute, you
38:42don't get shot out. It's not an
38:43ejection seat. The whole plane just
38:45lands on a big parachute. You still
38:48have the ocean.
38:49Yeah,
38:50I'm sure the drug dealers did this.
38:53They fly over South America all the
38:55time, just to, well, not lose the goods
38:57.
38:57That's why they don't care about the
38:58person. Save the plane.
38:59Of course,
39:00yeah. Anyway, you guys go jump in a
39:02lake.
39:03Well, let's summarize. The Camry
39:04survived the collision with a plane.
39:06That's it.
39:07No, let's summarize. The plane survived
39:09the collision with a Ca-
39:10Well, meaning the plane is safer than a
39:13car, but the Camry is safer than a
39:14plane,
39:15yeah,
39:15because it's a rocket.
39:18I always imagine the eyes of an
39:20insurance agent in such cases. What
39:22happened to you?
39:24I'm like:" Okay, changing all crash
39:26tests. "
39:30In California, a new way to make
39:32electric car owners pay has appeared.
39:34Damn it, not Pilatus, Cirrus. That's it
39:39, that's it, that's it, that's it.
39:41This is the next news story, right?
39:43Everything that was after the bumper is
39:45already, like,
39:46And where did you go on a Pilatus? And
39:48where did you get that Pilatus? That's
39:49not even with a parachute there, like
39:52that.
39:53It was.
39:53Oh, girls, look at this rocket.
39:59Do you want to see an airbag?
40:01Heck, re-
40:02it's about to open now.
40:05Oops, lipstick. Re-edit this, Pilatus.
40:11Oh, Cirrus.
40:13One more time. In California, a new way
40:16to make electric car owners pay has
40:18appeared.
40:19We need to land a plane on them.
40:22It's not about the fact that, well,
40:23there are becoming many electric
40:24vehicles. Roads in the USA are not free
40:26. So, we need to figure out how to make
40:29these people who use the roads pay for
40:31them, because roads...
40:32Like Platon,
40:35It’s roughly like that, actually,
40:37because, well, it’s easier with
40:39gasoline cars. You just have a certain
40:41amount of money included in the fuel
40:42price. And that works great. If you
40:44consume a lot of fuel, you drive a lot,
40:46and so on. Well, you’ve got, good for
40:48you, 60 cents of tax from fuel going
40:50into the budget. Excellent. And
40:52there’s no problem with those who use
40:55the roads less paying the same as those
40:57who use them a lot. Use little fuel,
40:59that’s it, no problem. It’s baked
41:01into your gasoline; you pay
41:02automatically. But it doesn’t work
41:04like that with EVs, because you can
41:06charge on your free home electricity.
41:09Well, not free, just, you know,
41:10unaccounted for, specifically spent on
41:12the EV. And you drive on the roads a
41:15lot, but you won't be using a regular
41:17charging station, so, well, they won't
41:18catch how much you've driven. Therefore
41:22, the idea is to put a special tracking
41:25device in every EV that will charge 2
41:28cents per kilometer.
41:30Well, they went further than the
41:31British. What did the British want?
41:33Just to check the mileage? The
41:35California authorities, apparently, are
41:36well aware of what people are like and
41:38that they’ll definitely cheat the
41:39system. And so, to reduce the chances
41:41of cheating, it needs to be integrated
41:43directly into the car. But the problem
41:45is that there are already tons of cars.
41:47And you need, first of all, tons of
41:49tracking devices. Secondly, you need to
41:51somehow maintain this system and
41:53infrastructure. You have to have some
41:55big data center that processes all this
41:57data. You need to make sure people
41:59don't damage or vandalize these devices
42:01. I mean, either they have to buy them
42:03themselves, but if they have to buy
42:04them, users will ask questions.
42:06Well, it's like a meter or some kind of
42:08magnet.
42:08Something along those lines. And you
42:10also have to make sure people don’t
42:12try to cheat it. A lot of questions pop
42:14up, but in any case, something needs to
42:17be done because EVs use the roads,
42:19roads need maintenance, and it all
42:22needs to be paid for.
42:23They also wear them down more due to
42:25the weight.
42:25Yes. Yes. So, imagine, this isn't about
42:28introducing some separate toll road for
42:30yourself. It's about the fact that,
42:33besides existing toll roads, they want
42:35to make everyone pay simply for mileage
42:37. You already know that the ZEEKR 009,
42:40the Ultra one,
42:41right?
42:42It falls into category C,
42:44of course,
42:453.5 tons.
42:46Well yeah, the Cybertruck is another
42:47one for you, please. I think the BYD
42:49Yangwang U8 is also around that limit.
42:52In general, any large hybrid full-size
42:54vehicle is almost a truck anyway.
42:57I want a scooter.
42:58A Vespa,
42:59yes,
42:5950cc.
43:00Yes,
43:02that one.
43:03Yes,
43:03blue. No, they have this cream-sand
43:06color, very beautiful, like Porsche’s
43:08.
43:10I watch those people in the city center
43:12from time to time. Or just when the
43:15weather is warm, guys start riding
43:17mopeds all over Moscow in different
43:19directions. I also look at them
43:22periodically, but damn, I know all too
43:23well how people drive here and how I
43:25could just be smeared, you know, across
43:27the surface, in a thin layer, if I were
43:28on a moped like that, so I'll stick to
43:30walking. But we remember that,
43:33according to statistics, a drunk
43:34motorcyclist is safer,
43:37than a belted driver.
43:38That is correct. And now there's a huge
43:41row in California about this, but in
43:43any case, the authorities have already
43:45come out and said:" Well, look, someone
43:47has to pay for the roads, so let those
43:49who use them pay for them. "That's the
43:52idea. There. And since you have an
43:55electric car, we'll figure out how, but
43:58we'll definitely make sure you pay. Max
44:04Verstappen turned out to be the
44:06highest-paid Formula 1 driver in 2025.
44:09But it's logical, the best one gets the
44:11most.
44:14Where is the money?
44:20Yandex will release its own electric
44:22car cheaper than the Atom.
44:24Don't. First of all, why?
44:29Secondly, it turns out no, because,
44:31well, what Yandex has come up with—
44:33and apparently there is some leaked
44:35information—is that, well, look,
44:37there is a GAC,
44:38are there Yandex leaks or what?
44:41Together with Yandex-Kura...this
44:44division, there is this GAC. It's like
44:47a minivan, something like that. And
44:49this is the electric car that Yandex is
44:51thinking of purchasing in large volumes
44:52. I mean, releasing it, of course, in
44:54its own volume. Call it something like
44:56Yandex Go, something like that. And
44:59they want to give it a different name.
45:01They want to name it Umo 5. Umo five.
45:05Umo.
45:06Umo.
45:07You cannot understand Yandex with your
45:09mind.
45:10That’s why you get Umo five. So,
45:12I take it that it's an unidentified
45:14motor-like object.
45:15Something like that. Yeah, yeah. Yes.
45:17That was a linguistic one too.
45:18Well, Vladimir is an intellectual and
45:20we aren't like that at all. Anyway, the
45:24idea is that this car will drive in
45:26Comfort, like a taxi. And the guys
45:28calculated that its operation,
45:30maintenance, and everything else will
45:32be much cheaper than any current
45:34analogs. And in general, it's super
45:36profitable, super cool, and super
45:37wonderful. It will charge very quickly.
45:39And most importantly, it will cost less
45:40than the Atom, which is also, by the
45:42way, well,
45:42not bad.
45:44First of all, secondly, the Atom is
45:45still planned to cost more or less 3
45:47million rubles. And this unidentified
45:49automotive object is planned for 2.4
45:52million rubles. It would be logical
45:55that competing with the Chinese in the
45:57electric vehicle market, well, won't
45:58work unless you impose some kind of
46:00total ban or use administrative
46:02resources, saying that by no means can
46:04electric cars be imported anymore
46:05because our Atom is awesome—there’s
46:07no other way to compete. Therefore, if
46:11Yandex actually releases this thing, if
46:13they really end up on the roads, and if
46:15it really justifies the business model,
46:16it will be at least strange, because I
46:18don't believe that a Chinese electric
46:20car for 2.4 million rubles will be more
46:22profitable here than anything in the
46:24Comfort class. I'm just not buying it.
46:26We already have precedents of cheaper
46:28electric cars in taxis. I mean, besides
46:30the Evolute, which I understand they
46:32were buying in Nizhny Novgorod, there
46:33are also these AmberAuto ones in
46:35Kaliningrad. And in theory, they are
46:37even cheaper. Why aren't they just
46:39being distributed?
46:41Well, the idea here is that, I
46:42understand, a larger minivan is needed,
46:44that it's more comfortable and all that
46:46, but as far as I know, this is
46:48unconfirmed information. It's kind of a
46:50local rumor that taxi fleets are very
46:53dissatisfied with cheap electric cars.
46:56By the way, the Evolutes,
46:57especially, sorry, especially in the
46:59regions.
46:59Evolutes, by the way, get customized
47:00when taken into taxi service. Well,
47:03more precisely, the drivers finish them
47:04up, because where you have northern
47:06regions and it's cold, they install
47:07Webasto heaters so that in winter you
47:09don't freeze...
47:10a diesel one. Because, again, if an
47:14affordable electric car were some kind
47:16of ultra-killer feature for a taxi
47:18fleet, in the sense that its
47:19maintenance would be very cheap, and
47:21the car would run a lot without
47:23breaking down and be convenient to use,
47:25it would spread quickly, because a taxi
47:27fleet, strictly speaking, absolutely
47:29doesn't care what kind of car it is.
47:31They are interested in the cost of
47:33expenses and the value of revenue from
47:34one specific car, and whether drivers
47:36will rent it. That's it, the taxi fleet
47:38doesn't care about anything else at all
47:39, because it is a company that must
47:40extract commercial profit from what it
47:42does. And so it somehow happens that,
47:44in terms of efficiency, well, it's hard
47:46to beat the Toyota Camry in comfort.
47:48Oof. And in aviation, it's more like an
47:51aircraft carrier.
47:56That was a good one.
47:58My respects.
47:59Damn, seriously, the Camry isn't a
48:00rocket anymore, it's an aircraft
48:02carrier. A quarter of the employees at
48:08German Porsche plants are facing the
48:10threat of layoffs. What happened? How
48:13so? What about the electric Macan? What
48:17about the electric Cayenne and the
48:19electric Taycan, which were supposed to
48:21, you know, utilize production capacity
48:22, keep people busy, and bring in a ton
48:24of money? What's going on? Well, the
48:27point is that they need to optimize,
48:29they need to cut costs. German
48:31employees are very expensive, and they
48:33should move production somewhere else.
48:35Porsche is thinking about moving
48:37factories somewhere, laying off workers
48:40here, and so on. And if this happens—
48:43and it's still just a rumor, because,
48:45well, you can't just take and fire
48:465,000 people in Germany, especially
48:48because of politics, because of unions,
48:50because of, well, business processes
48:51that also exist, and the company is
48:53operational. And you can't just take
48:55and do that quickly. But if they decide
48:57to do it, it will be the largest layoff
48:59within Porsche in the company's history
49:01.
49:02This isn't the company's decision
49:03itself, it's the opinion of a specific
49:05union representative who
49:06says that there are discussions and
49:08negotiations going on. And
49:09he he is essentially, like, blowing
49:11things out of proportion. He's like:"
49:13If you decide to move production, 5,000
49:16people could be fired. "
49:18And they will move it—the chances are
49:20very high that they will move
49:22production, because why not? Let's put
49:25it this way: has any factor changed?
49:27Well, I don't argue that it's not
49:29meaningless. Of course, they need to
49:31make production cheaper. It's proving
49:33to be very inflexible for them right
49:35now.
49:35I don't argue with that. I mean that
49:37this isn't a statement from Porsche
49:38itself, that
49:39it's essentially rumors. These are
49:40rumors. There’s just talk going
49:41around that Porsche might lay off 5,000
49:43of its employees. Yes, that's correct.
49:45We'll wait for the final 2025 operating
49:47and financial performance figures. They
49:48will most likely be out in March, give
49:50or take. And from there, the situation
49:51will be a bit clearer. But the fact
49:53that Porsche will be cutting staff and
49:55moving plants is a sure thing, because,
49:58well, from a macroeconomic standpoint,
50:00nothing has changed. Electricity is
50:02expensive, labor costs are high,
50:04logistics are pricey, and trade tariffs
50:06and customs wars between countries are
50:08only intensifying; you definitely have
50:10to move production to where your end
50:12consumer is. And Porsche makes most of
50:15its money outside of Europe, but
50:17currently spends most of it in Europe,
50:19so something will have to change. And
50:26here is the juicy part: EU authorities
50:28have changed their minds about banning
50:30internal combustion engines. At the
50:33time we are recording this news, we
50:34don't have the details yet, as they are
50:36only supposed to appear in a couple of
50:37days. But officials have already
50:41stepped out with a straight face saying
50:43," That's it, we are... "The leader of
50:46the European People's Party faction,
50:48Manfred Weber, came out and was like,"
50:50Well, the decision to cancel the ICE
50:53ban that was set for 2035—that's
50:55definitely happening. "It will be
50:58allowed to register ICE cars, because
51:00the way the law was originally written,
51:02you simply wouldn't be able to register
51:04, plate, and use a new internal
51:06combustion engine car. We are removing
51:08that ban. Details will follow later.
51:10Whether it will be hydrogen engines, or
51:12non-hydrogen, or some kind of hybrids,
51:14the ICE will remain in one form or
51:15another. Naturally, as soon as the news
51:17broke, we posted it on our Telegram
51:18channel. Secondly, as I wrote there,
51:20the" I told you so "season is
51:21officially open. We could also add a
51:23season called:" What happened? What’s
51:25the matter? Electric vehicle fans,
51:26what’s with the long face? "Something
51:28like that could be added too. But it
51:30was clear from the start that the ICE
51:32ban was complete nonsense as a concept,
51:33that you simply can't just take a pen
51:35and destroy an entire economy and
51:37energy sector with one stroke, although
51:39they tried very hard, especially in
51:40Germany, first destroying all nuclear
51:42energy, then destroying the entire
51:44automotive industry in literally 10
51:45years. I don't know who set these goals
51:48, but they were executed magnificently.
51:50Anyway,
51:51KGB agents,
51:53doubt it's the KGB. FBI,
51:56you think?
51:57I do. It's like,
51:59You know that Dexter meme, like, I
52:01think it, but I can't prove it. I know,
52:03but I have no proof. No, you just need
52:06to dig a bit deeper, look at who
52:07exactly these people are, what specific
52:09decisions they made, where they’re
52:11from, sit down, do some investigating,
52:13follow the leads, look at photos, all
52:14that stuff,
52:16it all comes down to China, because all
52:19EVs are cheaper to get from there now.
52:21No, China has nothing to do with it, I
52:22think. The main thing is that Bububu
52:24and Ratata aren't going anywhere, at
52:25least not here in Russia for sure.
52:27Exactly. No matter what those two
52:29zig-drivers think.
52:30I thought you were starting a new
52:32Bu-ubu debate club.
52:38And that's it for me in this episode.
52:40Observe how much content you consume,
52:42what specific content you consume, and
52:45try living like a guy from the
52:46seventies. An interesting experience.
52:50Bye.
52:51There was supposed to be a bumper here,
52:52but we ran out of money, so that's why
52:54the people are like that. And just so
52:59you're in the loop.
