If Tim were being honest with himself, he would acknowledge his role in hyping the "mono-conversation" in the Bay Area that he now criticizes. His blog, books, and podcast accelerated the current obsession with venture capitalism, bio-hacking, morning routines, supplements, etc. Now he's bringing the same conversations to Austin, which is quickly moving in the same direction.

I still live in the Bay Area, moved from NYC. I do find the Bay Area mono but not NYC. Many conversations in NYC, maybe the people in the video only had experiences in lower Manhattan

@@pamgodsoe9076 I agree I do not feel New York City is very mono. I feel he references finance as the mono culture… if anything, it depends on where you work in New York. New Yorkers are workaholics if I had to label them ;) and this is my feeling, as I am a recovering workaholic raised in New York city by a Brooklyn born dad and a Queens County mother. Human behavior is so fascinating. I am concerned about the white privilege that exists within the cities. Yeah, that’s another podcast😂

After thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail ... Austin is one of those rare cities that feels 'trail like' in atmosphere and thinking. Most large cities suck you right into mono-thinking, selfishness, anger, frustration, and everything else that seems to correlated with the traffic/9-5/grind/materialism lifestyle. Going from a big city to long distance hiking and back really helped contrast that reality.

Moved out of Long Beach last month, now back in Texas. LB in my experience after COVID is on a cultural decline and stricken with political Left-wing groupthink, as well as CRT radical teachings that’s turning most of the area black (and gay). Not that I have anything wrong with the latter two, it’s an observation I’ve seen lately.

@@nellieevans2054 I’m 24, I lived in NYC/CT for my first 5 years, now I live in the DC area and I’m not really a fan of it. I always had a hard time meeting people around here, I remember I visited my aunt in the outer Burroughs of NYC and I got multiple matches on Tinder and made friends on Bumble compared to the DC area where it felt non existent. I might look at Baltimore but I feel like NYC is where it’s at for making friends and dating and job opportunities, it’s only the cost of living that is pretty bad, you’d have to rent with multiple roommates and I want to leave the east coast and it’s cold climate in the winter. I want to go somewhere where the winter isn’t that bad, something like 60 degrees. I’m considering Tampa or Miami but I heard the floods are bad and income sucks unless you’re a govt contractor. I have a friend in Ft. Worth and it seems like a lovely city but no beaches nearby, but the city can make up for it.

We tend to get wrapped up in talking this narrative of how the majority of an area "is". However, that's really just more division/separation. Take every encounter on a case by case basis with an open mind/heart. That is how we mend this mess. Not by labelling everything like we love to do. Let that stuff go.

This is a very good point. I see the labeling and it feels uneasy. I see your need to remove judgment. Am I saying that right?

This is interesting. I would love to hear someone’s take on Portland, Oregon. It feels similar to Austin Texas in the fact that you do have this little blueberry in tomato soup. I have never lived in Austin Texas. My best friend lives outside of Austin. I have lived in Portland Oregon for 15 years, went to social work school in New York City, and grew up on Long Island. I also lived in Boston and Chicago and London. I appreciate the Mono conversation piece. Like Austin, in Portland Oregon, and as a therapist, I find myself super interested in human behavior, so i have talks about politics in a very safe way with others who vote differently from the mono cultures you referenced. It does really give you hope and empathy I find myself considering less polarization. Which, in essence is a nonviolent way of communicating.

Interesting. As a former New Yorker, I do believe that there is no place like it. There’s so much diversity in the city. Plus, the state is so big that you could live upstate or central New York. I love the summers of Long Island. And overall people are generally friendly (there is going to be someone who’s not) We do get a bad rap.😂 I don’t know how Tim Ferriss feels about Long Island. I believe he grew up in the Hamptons by working class parents. I remember he is not a huge fan. It took me a while to step away in order to appreciate my summers there as a kid. 😊

@michellepollock9804 3 жыл бұрын

You all have made Austin a mini-version of San Francisco. There is NO WAY you mingle with anyone outside of your siloed tech thinking. Tech BARELY gives back to their physical communities (outside of Salesforce). You come to our towns, you take advantage of our low taxes, you drive up the costs, and then you leave when it is "too crowded." We will look back at you all as the unscrupulous finance rats of the 80s. Now, you have created a city that can no longer support locals. There is no "weird" left in Austin. It is the monoculture you smear because of YOU and the culture you bring. If you want this NOT to be the case, GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY THOUGHTFULLY. And yes, it matters. When will tech GIVE BACK to communities?!!!! Sample: Salesforce Foundation gives $18 million to Bay Area causes.
