Chris Williamson on Audience Capture, Conspiracy Theories & Losing to Jordan Peterson at Top Golf
from Sky King's Mental Playground
Chris Williamson is a podcaster, YouTuber, and Ex-Professional Party Boy. I am immensely grateful that Chris is on this earth. As a creator, I believe he is doing an insane amount to help young men make sense of the world, as a friend he has been a beautiful combination of exceedingly fun and seriously helpful in how I navigate my life, and as a hero and mentor he has been a guiding light in how to, as he eloquently puts it, “locally reverse entropy.” Doing this podcast has made me strive to be better, oh so much better, at my craft because his ability to clearly articulate thoughts is honestly astounding. I would put him in league with Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris. When we hang out I don’t notice it, but in re-listening to this podcast, I have realized that everything he says could be a tweet thread.Chris has a reading list that includes the 100 most impactful books he has ever read. I can definitely vouch for almost all the books on this list.
