Art of Manliness Money can't buy happiness. It sounds good as a bumper sticker platitude.But the truth is, money can buy happiness. At least sometimes. In certain circumstances. If we view it and use it in the right ways.Here to unpack the conditions under which money can buy happiness and facilitate our flourishing is Dr. Daniel Crosby, a psychologist and behavioral finance expert and the author of The Soul of Wealth: 50 Reflections on Money and Meaning.

Artificial Intelligence Podcast Key Takeaways  The soul is the battleground between the forces of good and evil; it is your moral duty to constrain evil within yourself Communism does not scale and it does not iterate – whereas religious thought is the record of those ideas that have scaled and iterated  If you follow the voice of adventure and make the necessary sacrifices to follow the path that takes you out of your comfort zone, then you will experience the following benefits:Your life will be a blessing Everyone will hold you in high esteem You will establish something of permanent value You will do these things in a way that is maximally beneficial to everyone elseThere is no distinction between the truest adventure of life and taking on the maximal responsibility and burdenCompare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today Make the presumption that if you move forward in good faith, whatever happens to you will be the best thing that could happen – no matter what it is  Men should have a temper, but they should be able to regulate it; most of what passes for morality is nothing but cowardiceA good man has to be formidable: The capacity that could be the most potent force for evil can also be the most powerful force for good Welcome the adversity of life as a redemptive challenge; the best parts of yourself activate when you voluntarily contend with challengesAfter you go through a period of pain, you will have more gratitude for the ordinariness of life We have an existential moral duty to aim upward and to tell the truth Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgJordan Peterson is a psychologist, author, lecturer, and podcast host.

"History 102" with WhatifAltHist's Rudyard Lynch and Erik Torenberg Key Takeaways  Our society obsesses over African slavery; it has become a deep psychological neurosis that tears society apart Africa had three different slave trades from the Middle Ages to the 20th centuryThe internal African slave (the largest) The Muslim slave trade (selling slaves to the Muslim world; 2nd largest) The Western European slave trade (3rd largest)Throughout human history, Africa was the place that the most slaves were pulled out of – contrasted with other areas such as Europe and Asia, which had centralized governments that were able to protect their citizens Once Africa became a part of the global economy, it realized that it could offer slaves in exchange for goods and servicesThe vast majority of people involved in the African slave trade were black “I don’t think any serious historian could ever support the 1619 Project who is not an ideologue. It’s not even a historical argument; it’s a political argument masquerading through history.” – Rudyard Lynch Because America was so wealthy, African-American slaves had a higher quality of living than the peasantries of Europe did; however, African-American slaves were disenfranchised from any sort of respect or social standards “I think the British ending slavery in the 1830s and 40s is one of the most admirable things a country has done.” – Rudyard Lynch The West practiced slavery, but it was also a society that ended it – which is historically rareAs religions developed and spread around the globe, they eventually abolished slavery among their people Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode of History 102, WhatifAltHist creator Rudyard Lynch and Erik Torenberg discuss the history of the Muslim slave trade, a forgotten tragedy that predates and rivals the Atlantic slave trade in both scale and brutality. Dive into the complex dynamics and enduring impact of this dark chapter in African history, and explore the Muslim and internal slave trades while also challenging the 1619 Project's narrative. Learn about the broader context of global slavery, the complex origins of racial inequality, and the global network that fueled the transatlantic slave trade. 🔥 Apply to join over 400 founders and Execs in the Turpentine Network: https://hmplogxqz0y.typeform.com/to/JCkphVqj -- RECOMMENDED PODCAST: 🎙️ Second Opinion - A new podcast for health-tech insiders from Christina Farr of the Second Opinion newsletter.

Discover my premium podcast, The Aliquot Every week, the average person ingests the equivalent weight of a credit card in plastic.* While certain preventive measures can significantly reduce your intake of these harmful substances, it’s crucial to acknowledge a more daunting concern: the bioaccumulation of microplastics in the brain, potentially at ten times the rate of other organs. Microplastics and their associated chemicals are alarmingly ubiquitous — they permeate breast milk, sperm, the hippocampus, the prefrontal cortex, the air we breathe, medications, the water supply, and our bloodstream, accumulating in most major organ systems. During this episode, we’ll explore the unsettling realities of microplastics and their associated chemicals, diving into how they infiltrate nearly every facet of our environment and body, and discuss actionable strategies to reduce exposure.

Invest Like the Best Key Takeaways  “The founder has to be accountable for the story. The founder holds this secret knowledge and vision that other people do not.” – Lulu Meservey Go Direct: If the founder’s secret has to go through seven layers of filtering before it is shared with the world, then it will become something that is already familiar to people and that already existsThe Core Ingredients of Founder Communications:1.

Reach people where they intellectually hang out“Communication is a vector, not a scalar.

Artificial Intelligence Podcast Key Takeaways  The key to understanding Ancient Rome is to understand that it was obsessed with the pastThe Romans were hyper-competitive and cared deeply about their status amongst their peers; their public competitiveness drove themOne of the secrets to Rome’s success was its ability to absorb and integrate non-Roman ideas “If we were to write a realistic textbook of the Roman Empire, nine out of ten chapters should be details of what it was like to be a small-time family farmer, because that’s what 90% of the people in the ancient world did.” – Gregory AldreteRoman law is perhaps the most significant legacy the empire has left on the modern world; about 90% of the modern world uses some derivation of it The Great Contradiction: Rome’s very success made almost every group within Roman society deeply unhappy and boiling with resentmentCaesar succeeded in taking over the state as one man, but he could not solve the problems of ruling Rome as one person and appearing to function as a king  Augustus is one of the most significant individuals in Roman history given he was the one who founded the Roman Empire; he led the transition from the republic to empirePublic speaking was an essential aspect of life in Rome; those who were great orators, such as Cicero, had a great advantage in seeking power and influence While Gladiators were considered low status – because they performed for others – many of them became wildly popular in Roman culture The Five Good Emperors period (96-180 CE) of Roman history is often seen as a high point in Roman history The five emperors were Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, and Marcus AureliusEventually, the Roman Empire became too large to effectively govern; a state of constant civil war ensured, which created a vicious downward cycle for the overall Roman economy that left it poorer and more vulnerable to fragmentationDifferent historians attribute the fall of the Roman Empire to different things, citing the barbarians, Christianity, climate, disease, and moral decline Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgGregory Aldrete is a historian specializing in ancient Rome and military history.

Drive with Dr. Peter Attia Key Takeaways In medicine (and everywhere), there is a resistance to new ideas, tied to effort justification – the idea that you’ve spent so much time holding a certain belief, that the cost is too high to changeNothing in science is not 100% certain – there are no proofs; science is not a ‘thing’ it’s a process You shouldn’t cling to hypotheses with absolute certainty and should be open to updating beliefs based on new information“Just having a crazy idea is not sufficient. You have to have a means of stating what a hypothesis is, determining how to test that hypothesis, and above all else – having the ability to update your hypothesis based on new, emerging information.” – Peter AttiaThe distrust in science and medicine is because there is no humility in walking back incorrect information; it’s created two camps: (1) Blind faith in science and medicine; (2) Complete rejection of science and medicine “Women are confused because the same megaphone used to say estrogen causes breast cancer has not been used to correct course.” – Peter AttiaDon’t throw out the baby with the bath water: “C-sections and antibiotics have saved more lives than anything that we’re doing today. That has doubled the human lifespan.” – Peter AttiaThe vast majority of what we call ovarian cancer is a fallopian tube cancer We need to increase public awareness, we’re targeting the wrong organAt Johns Hopkins, fallopian tubes are removed instead of tied to eliminate the 1 in 78 chance of getting ovarian cancerDifficulty in advancing knowledge: People are doing things in a blackhole with no scientific evidence – we need appropriate studies but the NIH controls $80 billion in research dollars The NIH doesn’t fund big, new ideas – it funds small ideas that are a likely betWe don’t have a vehicle to encourage big thinkersRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.org View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter’s Weekly Newsletter Marty Makary, a Johns Hopkins surgeon and New York Times bestselling author, returns to The Drive to discuss his latest book, Blind Spots: When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health. In this episode, Marty explores how a new generation of doctors is challenging long-held medical practices by asking critical new questions. He discusses the major problems of groupthink and cognitive dissonance in the medical community and delves into several of the "blind spots" raised in the book, including treatments for appendicitis, the peanut allergy epidemic, misunderstandings about HRT and breast cancer, antibiotic use, and the evolution of childbirth. He explains the urgent need for reform in medical education and the major barriers standing in the way of innovative medical research. Throughout the conversation, Marty offers insightful reflections on where medicine has succeeded and where there’s still room to challenge historic practices and embrace new approaches. We discuss: The issue of groupthink and cognitive dissonance in science and medicine [2:30]; How a non-operative treatment for appendicitis sheds light on cognitive dissonance [7:00]; How cognitive dissonance and effort justification shape beliefs and actions [13:15]; How misguided peanut allergy recommendations created an epidemic [17:45]; The enduring impact of misinformation and fear-based messaging around hormone replacement therapy allegedly causing breast cancer [25:15]; The dangers of extreme skepticism and blind faith in science, and the importance of understanding uncertainty and probability [28:00]; The overuse of antibiotics and the rise of antibiotic resistant infections and poor gut health [33:45]; The potential correlations between early antibiotic use and chronic diseases [40:45]; The historical and evolving trends in childbirth and C-section rates [50:15]; Rethinking ovarian cancer: recent data challenging decades of medical practice and leading to new preventive measures [1:05:30]; Navigating uncertainty as a physician [1:19:30]; The urgent need for reform in medical education [1:21:45]; The major barriers to innovative medical research [1:27:30]; The dogmatic culture of academic medicine: why humility and challenging established norms are key for progress [1:38:15]; The major successes and ongoing challenges of modern medicine [1:51:00]; and More.

Art of Manliness Although they may call it different things and approach its attainment in different ways, many of the world’s religions and philosophies have a similar goal: achieving a life of virtue, peace, and flourishing.In his new book, Seriously Happy, Ben Aldrige explains how anyone can use the wisdom of ancient traditions to improve themselves and live the Good life. Today on the show, Ben offers a thumbnail sketch of Buddhism, Cynicism, Taoism, Stoicism, Epicureanism, and Aristotelianism, along with practices and challenges inspired by these philosophies, including walking a banana, listening to a music performance without music, and taking a Wu Wei adventure, that you can use to put ancient wisdom into action and become a better and happier man.Resources Related to the PodcastBen’s previous appearance on the AoM podcast: Episode #640 — Weird and Wonderful Ways to Get Comfortable Being UncomfortableAoM Podcast #148: Trying Not to TryWhy Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment by Robert WrightJohn Cage’s 4’33”Albert Ellis’ Rational Emotive Behavior TherapyConnect With Ben AldridgeBen’s website

The Tucker Carlson Show Key Takeaways  The state of bewilderment that we are currently living through is beneficial to those in power because it grants them more control Those in power benefit from bewilderment, conflict, and chaos because it is easier to assert authority in these environments When a state of crisis benefits those in power, you can expect a perpetual state of crisis The state attempts to emulate the characteristics of God: omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence, and glory  “Secularism is all well and good, as long as the state doesn’t behave like a god.” – Russell Brand If you have a deep need for God, then be careful because the culture will try to fill that desire with false gods such as drugs, alcohol, money, and fameSee every person that you come across as a human being; be open to the idea that God is trying to speak to you through another personIf our communities are guided by God, then it is more likely that we will create communities, states, nations, and a planet of peace and prosperityfrom the bottom up, and not from the top down While technology has created the possibility of further decentralization of power, crises are being used to legitimize decentralization; those in power prefer the trajectory of totalitarianism and technological feudalism under the peculiar veil of kindness and protection Protection and control exist on a continuum; this dynamic is fine for a parent who is looking after her child, but not for a state and its people Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgTucker Carlson Live Tour in Phoenix, AZ.

Honestly with Bari Weiss ✓ Claim Key Takeaways  In the United States, free speech is not a right granted by the government but is considered an unalienable right of a human beingBut free speech is viewed differently in the European Union; for example, the French view free speech as needing to strike a balance between the individual and the community It was revealed during the “Twitter Files” controversy that American lobbyists wanted to push America more towards the European model of policing speech onlineThe state has figured out how to turn the Internet into an instrument of social control Counter-terrorism to Counter-populism: Many of the government agencies that once focused on stopping terrorist groups have shifted their focus inward domestically to monitor and censor American citizens The state uses “misinformation” as a pretext for guiding messagingThe gradual drift towards authoritarianism: People come to worship authority when the state “saves” them from every “emergency”Be wary of Language Inflation: A phenomenon in which extreme language is used to describe something that does not warrant the use of extreme language There is a natural political bias in government-sponsored censorship; the people who fill government censorship positions tend to come from left-leaning universities Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn the past few weeks, there’s been an increasing number of threats to freedom of speech around the world. In France, authorities arrested Telegram CEO Pavel Durov for failing to adequately moderate content and prevent criminal activity on his platform.  In the UK, since the outbreak of anti-immigration riots, police have arrested individuals merely for posting comments online. The Labour-led government has suggested expanding measures to remove “legal but harmful” content.  In Brazil, President Lula’s administration has proposed new regulations requiring social media companies to monitor and remove “harmful content,” and a Brazilian Supreme Court justice just banned X altogether in the country. The ruling came after the platform missed a deadline to name a new legal representative there. From Hungary to Pakistan, the right to speak your mind, particularly on the internet, is more precarious than ever.  Even in the United States, with our free speech rights enshrined in the Constitution, polls suggest an entire generation has grown up thinking it should be illegal to say something inaccurate or hateful. Democratic VP nominee Tim Walz said as much: “There’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy.” So how did we get here? And, where is this all going?  Today, Michael sits down with the intrepid journalist Matt Taibbi, who knows this issue inside out. When The Free Press launched, he reported the Twitter Files with Bari Weiss, and together they exposed how government agencies had pressured Twitter to censor undesirable information, including skepticism of Covid lockdowns and opposition to Covid-related public school closures.  In this conversation, Matt and Michael talk about what’s happening in Europe, Brazil, and here in the U.S. They discuss the factors that precipitated the so-called “misinformation wars,” from 9/11 to Brexit and Trump’s election, that convinced elites of the need to enforce restrictions on speech. And they talk about why these efforts are doomed to backfire.  If you liked what you heard from Honestly, the best way to support us is to go to thefp.com and become a Free Press subscriber today.

Lenny's Podcast: Product | Growth | Career ✓ Claim Key Takeaways  “Every tap on a mobile app is a miracle for you as a product developer.” – Nikita Bier Teens see each other everyday; this is one of the most important factors for why teen consumer apps have a higher probability of going viral If you are building a product with network effects and that is a communication tool, then you want to be positioned on that upward curve of adding connections to your social graph, because there is a higher urgency to connect Search for product ideas by using the concept “latent demand”: Identify the user’s motivation, clear up what they are actually trying to do, and then crystalize the process for them; this leads to intense adoptionThe most important thing to increase your probability of success: Develop a reproducible testing process You will know when your product is working; if there is any uncertainty, then your product is not working People download apps to make or save money, find a mate, or unplug from reality How to take a product from Zero to One: Execute at 100% for the thing you are trying to validate at that specific stage of the product development cycleAlways do right by users; if you do wrong to users, the internet will eventually find a way to seek its revenge on you While discovering a new communication product is a once-in-a-decade black swan event, growing a product can be more of a science Your app must demonstrate value in the first three seconds or it is not going to work  “Consumer products live and die in the pixels.” – Nikita Bier Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgNikita Bier is one of the most in-demand consumer, social, and growth experts in the world.

Write of Passage Podcast Key Takeaways  Writing invokes clarity of thought; it forces you to ensure that every you say is actually correct Productive writers are always thinking about the topics they write about, even if they are not sitting in front of their computer The goal of writing is not to convince the reader that you are right, but to force the reader to think about the issue that you are discussing“The most important article you write is the second article someone reads.” – Ben Thompson Develop a framework for writing by using “The Writing Machine”:Have an overall view of the world and how it worksProcess news and information as it happensFed that information into your worldview machineThe output that this machine churns out is your content Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgWhat if writing a newsletter could pay your rent?

In this episode, you’ll learn his exact playbook for how to monetize your writing — not just for right now, but also for the future.  Ben’s blog, Stratechery, is the OG of subscription-based newsletters and actually inspired the creation of Substack.

Founders ✓ Claim The name of Nobel usually calls to mind Alfred Nobel, inventor of dynamite, and the internationally prestigious prizes that bear his name. But Alfred was only one member of a creative and innovative family who built an industrial empire in prerevolutionary Russia. The saga begins with an emigre from Sweden, Immanuel Nobel, who was an architect, a pioneer producer of steam engines, and a maker of weapons.Immanuel's sons included Alfred; Robert, who directed the family's activities in the Caspian oil fields; and Ludwig, an engineering genius and manufacturing magnate whose boundless energy and fierce determination created the Russian petroleum industry.Ludwig's son Emanuel showed similar mettle, shrewdly bargaining with the Rothschilds for control of the Russian markets and competing head-on with Standard Oil and Royal Dutch Shell for lucrative world markets.Perhaps no family in history has played so decisive a role in building an industrial empire in an underdeveloped but resource-rich nation. Yet the achievements of the Nobel family have been largely forgotten. When the Bolsheviks came to power, Emmanuel had to flee the country disguised as a peasant.The Nobel empire with its 50,000 workers lay in ruins. An empire which had taken eighty years to design and build, was nearly destroyed, bringing a sudden and bitter end to one of the most remarkable industrial odysseys in world history.This episode is what I learned from reading The Russian Rockefellers: The Saga of the Nobel Family and the Russian Oil Industry by Robert Tolf.----Make history's greatest entrepreneurs proud by going to Ramp and learning how they can help your business control your costs and save more. ----Founders Notes gives you the superpower to learn from history's greatest entrepreneurs on demand.

Infinite Loops Key Takeaways  Investing is a service-based business; focus on the karma! “The four horsemen of the investment apocalypse are fear, greed, hope, and ignorance. And only ignorance is something that you can address.” –  Jim O’ShaughnessyTake actions that increase the surface area of your luck Ironically, in a changing world, playing it safe is one of the riskiest things that you can doLearn how you are going to react to every phase of the market You have to be selective, but you also have to be okay with rejection  Trust is a function of experience, and experience is a function of timeYou do not need to be right every time to dominate; the best traders in history are right just a little more than 50% of the time  How to add value early in your career: Find the 10% of a person’s life that they hate, and make that problem go away for themThe investing industry is based on trust and reputation – it is wise to remember thisRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgLet me introduce you to the four horsemen of the investment apocalypse: Fear. Greed. Hope. Ignorance. Notice anything? Three of four are emotions. I’ve long argued that effective investing is far more about emotional control than technical know-how (although the latter certainly helps!) By hook or by crook, the best investors can find a way to tame their pesky emotional impulses and overcome that primal urge to respond impulsively to panic, passion, or pride. My guest, the razor-sharp Ateet Ahluwalia, is a veteran trader and investor who has spent well over 15 years at the coalface, from trading at Goldman at the dawn of the financial crisis to his current role as founder and managing director of the venture capital firm Island Green Capital Management. As you’ll hear from our conversation, Ateet has built an insanely deep understanding of the emotional constitution required to succeed in finance and venture capital, which informs his approach to risk management, hiring, investing, due diligence, and everything in between. I hope you enjoy our wide-ranging conversation, whose implications extend well beyond investing. For episode takeaways, a full transcript, and various other goodies, check out our Substack.

Twenty Minute VC Key Takeaways  “Extraordinary careers, when you are junior in venture, do not get built sitting behind a desk in an office behind a laptop. You have to be willing to go meet with founders in person, figure out how to understand their business and how to convince them to even spend time with you when you are not one of the big general partners.” – Delian Asparouhov Startups must have a strong vision for the future of the world, and then build towards making that vision the reality Young venture capitalists do not focus enough on differentiation; many young VCs spread themselves too thin by focusing on a multitude of sectors In venture, you have no moat other than your brand; “US dollars” is the product that you deliver – a product that anybody else can deliverThe number one thing that Delian has learned from Peter Thiel:  There is always a way to structure your argument so that you are on the winning side no matter what “People love software because the marginal distribution costs are zero, but perhaps what people need to realize is also that the marginal returns are zero as well because there is no moat.” – Delian Asparouhov The only rule of the Founders Fund is that there are no rules Over the next 100-200 years, our biggest geopolitical and moral crisis is humanity speciating by way of artificial selection pressures (such as embryonic scoring and CRISPR DNA changing) and natural selection pressures (such as humans existing on new frontiers, perhaps in space)Say what you think; it doesn’t really matter how society chooses to react to it Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.org Delian Asparouhov is a Partner at Founders Fund and Co-Founder and President of Varda Space Industries, which is building the world's first space factories. At Founders Fund Delian has led deals in the likes of Ramp ($7BN) and Sword Health ($3BN) among others. Before joining Founders Fund, he was a Principal at Khosla Ventures, Head of Growth at Teespring, and Founder of a healthcare company called Nightingale. In Today's Episode with Delian Asparouhov We Discuss: 1. Venture Capital: Winners, Losers and Everyone Else: Who are the Top 3 venture firms in the world today according to Delian? Why does Delian believe that Benchmark are not the firm they were? Who will be the winners in venture in the next 10 years? Who will be the losers in venture in the next 10 years? 2. Inside Founders Fund: What No One Sees: What are the most important and impactful elements of Founders Fund that no one knows about? What does Delian believe that the Founders Fund partnership will strongly disagree with him on? Why does Founders Fund believe the path of most resistance is the best way to make decisions? What single topic has Delian publicly disagreed with Peter Thiel on most? How did it go? 3. What Every Young VC Needs to Know: What are Delian's single biggest tips to young VCs looking to scale the VC ladder today? What are the five core pillars of venture according to Delian? What should young VCs focus on? Why does Delian disagree with Founders Fund partners that "the best founders do not need the help of their VCs?" Does Delian agree with Vinod Khosla that "90% of VCs do detract value?" What are the biggest ways that Delian believes VCs can and do detract value? 4. Europe Will Be Third World, Parenting and Marriage: Why does Delian believe that Western Europe will become like the third world? What are Delian's single biggest tips on finding a life partner? What have been the biggest changes to Delian since becoming a father? What question does no one ask Delian that someone should ask him?  

Econtalk Key Takeaways  “It is not totally irrational to worry about society suddenly becoming fundamentally hostile to Jews, even in the West.” – Sam Harris In America, every year after September 11th, Jews have been a greater target of hate crime than any other group in American society, including Muslims and African Americans Islam expects conquest – this makes it fundamentally different than most other religions The central message of the Quran is not about love or compassion; instead, its message is that you should fear going to hell Islam is not a race; it is a set of ideasThe power of bad ideas is much more consequential than the power of bad people If the Palestinians laid down their arms, there would be peace in the Middle East; if the Jews laid down their arms, there would be genocide  The fate of open societies is at stake today; it is not “just” the rise of Jew hatred The basis for hope: We are talking about ideas here, and people can change their minds Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgNeuroscientist and author Sam Harris of the podcast Making Sense talks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about rising Jew-hatred in the West and what Harris sees as the dangers of radical Islam and Jihadism.

How to Take Over the World Key Takeaways  “I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.” – Michael Jordan The greats do not cower when they are slighted; instead, their determination only grows further “I never asked any of my teammates to do something that I wasn’t willing to do myself. If you don’t want to play that way, don’t play that way. I’m not going to do it for you.” – Michael Jordan Learning is a gift, even when pain is your teacherIt obvious when a person wants to win more than the competition; the world has a way of elevating these people who simply want it more than everyone else After Michael Jordan’s legendary performance in Game 2 of the 1986 Eastern Conference First Round, where he scored 63 points against the Boston Celtics, Larry Bird famously said: “I think he’s God disguised as Michael Jordan.”“I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” – Michael Jordan Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.org&quot;I can accept failure. Everyone fails at something, but I can&#39;t accept not trying. I can&#39;t accept it.&quot; Michael Jordan is one of the greatest basketball players of all time. He&#39;s also a great entrepreneur, business owner, and Olympian.

Founders ✓ Claim What I learned from reading What I Talk About When I Talk About Running: A Memoir by Haruki Murakami. ----Founders Notes gives you the superpower to learn from history's greatest entrepreneurs on demand. You can search all my notes and highlights from every book I've ever read for the podcast. Get access to Founders Notes here. ----Build relationships with other founders, investors, and executives at a Founders Event----(3:01) No matter how mundane some action might appear, keep at it long enough and it becomes a contemplative, even meditative act.(4:00) Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.(4:00) The hurt part is an unavoidable reality, but whether or not you can stand anymore is up to the runner himself.(10:00) You can't fake passion — someone else, that really loves the job, will out run you. Somebody else sitting in some other MBA program has a deep passion for whatever career path you're going down, and they are going to smoke you if you don't have it yourself.  — Runnin' Down a Dream: How to Succeed and Thrive in a Career You Love (12:00) What’s crucial is whether your writing attains the standards you’ve set for yourself. Failure to reach that bar is not something you can easily explain away.(14:00) Big ideas come from the unconscious. This is true in art, in science and in advertising. But your unconscious has to be well informed, or your idea will be irrelevant. Stuff your conscious mind with information, then unhook your rational thought process. You can help this process by going for a long walk, or taking a hot bath, or drinking half a pint of claret. Suddenly, if the telephone line from your unconscious is open, a big idea wells up within you.  — David Ogilvy(16:00) If you absolutely can't tolerate critics, then don't do anything new or interesting. — Jeff Bezos(16:00) So the fact that I’m me and no one else is one of my greatest assets.(19:00) Failure was not an option. I had to give it everything I had.(19:00) My only strength has always been the fact that I work hard and can take a lot physically. I’m more a workhorse than a racehorse.(22:00) I was more interested in having finished it than in whether or not it would ever see the light of day.(26:00) I’m the kind of person who has to totally commit to whatever I do.(29:00) The entrenched professional is always going to resist far longer than the private consumer. — James Dyson(34:00) You really need to prioritize in life, figuring out in what order you should divide up your time and energy. If you don’t get that sort of system set by a certain age, you’ll lack focus and your life will be out of balance. I placed the highest priority on the sort of life that lets me focus on writing,(37:00) You can’t please everybody. If one out of ten enjoyed the place and said he’d come again, that was enough. If one out of ten was a repeat customer, then the business would survive. To put it the other way, it didn’t matter if nine out of ten didn’t like my bar. This realization lifted a weight off my shoulders. Still, I had to make sure that the one person who did like the place really liked it. In order to make sure he did, I had to make my philosophy and stance clear-cut, and patiently maintain that stance no matter what. This is what I learned through running a business.(40:00) The reason we're surprised is that we underestimate the cumulative effect of work. Writing a page a day doesn't sound like much, but if you do it every day you'll write a book a year. That's the key: consistency. People who do great things don't get a lot done every day. They get something done, rather than nothing. — How To Do Great Work by Paul Graham. (Founders #314)(41:00) When you follow what you are intensely interested in this strange convergence happens where you're working all the time and it feels like you're never working. — How To Do Great Work by Paul Graham. (Founders #314)(43:00) No matter how strong a will a person has, no matter how much he may hate to lose, if it’s an activity he doesn’t really care for, he won’t keep it up for long.(44:00) Nobody ever recommended or even desired that I be a novelist—in fact, some tried to stop me. I had the idea to be one, and that’s what I did.(45:00) I decided who I want to be, and that is who I am. — Coco Chanel(46:00) Once, I interviewed an Olympic runner.  I asked him, “Does a runner at your level ever feel like you’d rather not run today, like you don’t want to run and would rather just sleep in?” He stared at me and then, in a voice that made it abundantly clear how stupid he thought the question was, replied, “Of course. All the time!”(47:00) I pity the poor fellow who is so soft and flabby that he must always have "an atmosphere of good feeling" around him before he can do his work. There are such men. And in the end, unless they obtain enough mental and moral hardiness to lift them out of their soft reliance on "feeling," they are failures. Not only are they business failures; they are character failures also; it is as if their bones never attained a sufficient degree of hardness to enable them to stand on their own feet. There is altogether too much reliance on good feeling in our business organizations. —  Henry Ford’s Autobiography(50:00) If I used being busy as an excuse not to run, I’d never run again.(51:00) Focus and endurance can be acquired and sharpened through training.(54:00) Exerting yourself to the fullest within your individual limits: that’s the essence of running, and a metaphor for life.----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

Modern Wisdom Key Takeaways  The emotion that we do not want to feel is often the emotion that we invite in the exact way that we try to avoid it The spiritual path for so many is just another way to say, ‘I am not good enough yetYou are not going to get to where you want to go by being a really sh*tty boss to yourselfEnjoyment is a state of mindLetting go doesn’t happen by telling yourself to let go; letting go happens when it is readyThe desire to be special can only exist if you don’t know who you areWe make decisions on an emotional basis and we use logic to figure out how we will feel based on a decision If you can’t say no, then you can’t find your “yes”People don’t want you to be perfect; what they want is to feel connected with you We know ourselves by comparative contrast; but when we feel joy, the contrast goes away The “inner voice” is not necessarily bad; oftentimes though, it is irrational and incompetentThe key to self-improvement is understanding who you are  Instead of considering what is wrong in your life and how to fix it, consider what is right and how you can grow it Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgJoe Hudson is a coach, entrepreneur and a podcast host.

He’s made early bets on transformative companies like Twitter, Lyft, Twitch, Okta, Rappi, and Applied Intuition and is one of the pioneers of seed-stage investing as a category. He’s been on the Forbes Midas List eight times and enjoys sharing the lessons he’s learned from his years studying iconic companies. In his new book, Pattern Breakers: Why Some Start-Ups Change the Future, co-authored with Peter Ziebelman, he discusses what he’s found separates startups and founders that break through and change the world from those that don’t. After spending years reviewing the notes and decks from the thousands of startups he’s known over the past two decades, he’s uncovered three ways that breakthrough founders think and act differently. In our conversation, Mike talks about:• The three elements of breakthrough startup ideas• Why you need to both think and act differently• How to avoid the “comparison trap” and “conformity trap”• The importance of movements, storytelling, and healthy disagreeableness in startup success• How to apply pattern-breaking principles within large companies• Mike’s one piece of advice for founders• Much morePre-order Mike’s book here and get a second signed copy for free.

Art of Manliness Key Takeaways  Happiness is not about feeling good, but being good; it is not about pursuing immediate pleasure, but instead about pursuing long-term virtue The Enlightenment profoundly influenced the Founding Fathers of the United States by shaping their ideas on government, individual rights, and democracyThe Founding Fathers’ keys to self-improvement 1. Read great books2. Practice daily self-improvement 3. Improve alongside othersThe Founding Fathers believed that they needed to achieve harmony in their minds before they would be able to achieve harmony in the constitution of the statePythagoras keys to seeking perfection: mindfulness, discipline, and moderation Perfect virtue is unattainable; the value is in the pursuit of it Cicero believed true happiness is found through virtue and moral integrity; he argued that happiness comes from within, emphasizing self-sufficiency, wisdom, and rational thinking“Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.” – AristotleRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgA lot of self-improvement advice and content feels empty. And there's a reason for that. It often offers routines and habits to practice, but doesn't offer a strong, overarching reason to practice them.That's why the self-improvement advice of the Founding Fathers is particularly compelling. Though they were imperfect men, they had a clear why for trying to become better than they were. For the Founders, life was about the pursuit of happiness, and they equated happiness with excellence and virtue — a state that wasn't about feeling good, but being good. The Founders pursued happiness not only for the personal benefit in satisfaction and tranquility it conferred, but for the way the attainment of virtue would benefit society as a whole; they believed that political self-government required personal self-government.Today on the show, Jeffrey Rosen, a professor of law, the president of the National Constitution Center, and the author of The Pursuit of Happiness, shares the book the Founders read that particularly influenced their idea of happiness as virtue and self-mastery. We talk about the schedules and routines the Founders kept, the self-examination practices they did to improve their character, and how they worked on their flaws, believing that, while moral perfection was ultimately an impossible goal to obtain, it was still something worth striving for.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM's series on Benjamin Franklin's 13 VirtuesBen Franklin Virtues Journal available in the AoM StoreAoM Article: Young Benjamin Franklin’s Plan of ConductAoM Article: Thomas Jefferson’s 10 Rules for LifeAoM Article: The Libraries of Famous Men — Thomas Jefferson’s Recommended ReadingAoM Article: The Best John Adams QuotesAoM Article: George Washington’s Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and ConversationAoM Podcast #366: Teach Yourself Like George WashingtonAoM Article: The Spiritual Disciplines — Study and Self-ExaminationTusculan Disputations by Marcus Tullius CiceroThe Golden Verses of Pythagoras Connect With Jeffrey RosenThe National Constitution Center website We the People podcastJeffrey's faculty pageJeffrey on X

Sell low. Every day. With a smile.(2:30) People confuse a simple idea with an ordinary person. Sam Walton was no ordinary person.(4:30) Traits Sam Walton had his entire life: A sense of duty. Extreme discipline. Unbelievable levels of endurance.(5:30) His dad taught him the secret to life was work, work, work.(5:30) Sam felt the world was something he could conquer.(6:30) The Great Depression was a big leveler of people. Sam chose to rise above it. He was determined to be a success.(11:30) You can make a lot of different mistakes and still recover if you run an efficient operation. Or you can be brilliant and still go out of business if you’re too inefficient. — Sam Walton: Made In America by Sam Walton. (Founders #234)(15:30) He was crazy about satisfying customers.(17:30) The lawyer saw Sam clenching and unclenching his fists, staring at his hands. Sam straightened up. “No,” he said. “I’m not whipped. I found Newport, and I found the store. I can find another good town and another store. Just wait and see!”(21:30) Sometimes hardship can enlighten and inspire. This was the case for Sam Walton as he put in hours and hours of driving Ozark mountain roads in the winter of 1950. But that same boredom and frustration triggered ideas that eventually brought him billions of dollars. (This is when he learns to fly small planes. Walmart never happens otherwise)(33:30) At the start we were so amateurish and so far behind K Mart just ignored us. They let us stay out here, while we developed and learned our business. They gave us a 10 year period to grow.(37:30) And so how dedicated was Sam to keeping costs low? Walmart is called that in part because fewer letters means cheaper signs on the outside of a store.(42:30) Sam Walton is tough, loves a good fight, and protects his territory.(43:30) His tactics later prompted them to describe Sam as a modern-day combination of Vince Lombardi (insisting on solid execution of the basics) and General George S. Patton. (A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week.)(43:30) Hardly a day has passed without Sam reminding an employee: "Remember Wal-Mart's Golden Rule: Number one, the customer Is always right; number two, if the customer isn't right, refer to rule number one.”(46:30) The early days of Wal-Mart were like the early days of Disneyland: "You asked the question, What was your process like?' I kind of laugh because process is an organized way of doing things. I have to remind you, during the 'Walt Period' of designing Disneyland, we didn't have processes. We just did the work. Processes came later. All of these things had never been done before. Walt had gathered up all these people who had never designed a theme park, a Disneyland.So we're in the same boat at one time, and we figure out what to do and how to do it on the fly as we go along with it and not even discuss plans, timing, or anything.We just worked and Walt just walked around and had suggestions. — Disney's Land: Walt Disney and the Invention of the Amusement Park That Changed the World by Richard Snow. (Founders #347)(1:04:30) Sam Walton said he took more ideas from Sol Price than any other person. —Sol Price: Retail Revolutionary by Robert Price. (Founders #304)(1:07:30) Nothing in the world is cheaper than a good idea without any action behind it.(1:07:30)  Sam Walton: Made In America  (Founders #234)----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

CryptoThe Investor's Podcast (TIP) Key Takeaways  The year 1971 marked the beginning of the era in which the federal government became interested in altering the food supply Nixon and other government leaders knew that food prices would extensively rise following The Nixon Shock This realization kicked off a 55-year gaslighting campaign to change the trajectory of the food supply so that people would overlook the rising cost of nutrient-dense foods If a person eats a diet of Doritos and grains, then he probably doesn’t realize monetary inflation; but if he eats a diet of ribeye steaks, monetary inflation is much more apparent to him Nutrient-dense foods, such as red meat, are increasingly becoming a food of the upper classes Government-influenced dietary guidelines serve the aggrandizement of the political leaders more so than they favor the betterment of the people Once seed oils were no longer viable for industrial applications, large corporations began to market those seed oils as food; this was the first time that Americans began to consume things that were not food  When President Lyndon Johnson was going up for re-election, the cost of eggs was skyrocketing in price; he instructed his surgeon general to write a phony press release saying that eggs were unhealthy so that demand for eggs would decreaseTo this day, people still believe the “eggs are bad for you” press release was motivated by political purposes, and not supported by any scientific evidence The implementation of a hard currency would help to solve the modern crisis in food because it would help to undermine the incentive for the federal government to obfuscate the food supply A hard currency removes the ability for governments to print money, therefore reducing the government’s need to gaslight dietary guidelines “If you’re not healthy, you’re not free. Self-autonomy begins with personal health.” – Matthew Lysiak Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode of the Bitcoin Fundamentals Podcast, investigative journalist Matthew Lysiak discusses his latest book on fiat food policies, influential figures like Ancel Keys, corporate interests, and the impact of inflation on health.

Modern Wisdom Key Takeaways  “The best diet for you – the individual – is the one that you can adhere to consistently.” – Dr Layne Norton The main reason why diets fail is because people view them as a “diet” instead of a lifestyle changePeople who have lost weight and successfully kept it off say that they had to form a new identity; they had to become someone else Being successful and having fun are not mutually exclusive; just because you give yourself credit does not mean that you cannot strive for morePeople who believe that they need excellent form on exercises to not get injured are actually more likely to get injured than people who think their bodies are strong and resilient Weight loss requires some form of restriction – whether that is calorie restriction, dietary restriction, time restriction, or some variation of those three If you look at the amount of lean mass that people lose while on Ozempic or GLP-1, it is very similar to the amount of lean mass that people lose when they just do the diet with no resistance training or exercise Exercise sensitives your brain to satiety signals Any diet that gets people to eat less processed foods and more satiating foods is going to be a diet that is better than the Standard American Diet A recent meta-analysis showed that for every 10-gram increase in dietary fiber, there was a corresponding decrease in the relative risk of mortality, cancer, and cardiovascular disease On a high-carb low-fat diet, you will not burn much fat, but you also do not store much fat; on a low-carb, high-fat diet, you are burning a lot of fat, but you are also storing a lot of fat A little exercise can go a long way: Four minutes of vigorous exercise per day has been shown to decrease the risk of cancer incidents by 20%If you are trying to lose weight, stop snacking! In America, the average amount of physical activity is less than 20 minutes per day and the average caloric intake is 3500 calories per day – and we’re worried about seed oils and artificial sweetenersDr Layne Norton’s Mt. Rushmore of supplements: Creatine monohydrate (5-10g per day), Caffeine (the original nootropic and performance enhancer), and Whey protein Tier 2 supplement list: Rhodiola rosea, Beta-alanine, Citrulline malate, ginseng, ashwagandha, fish oil, and melatonin Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgLayne Norton is a Doctor of Nutritional Science, a powerlifter and an author.

Art of Manliness Key Takeaways Check out the episode pageRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgAs compared to mothers, fathers are sometimes thought of as a secondary, almost superfluous, parent.But my guest says that fathers actually saved the human race, and continue to do so today.Anna Machin is an evolutionary anthropologist, a pioneer of fatherhood science, and the author of Life Of Dad. Today on the show, we talk about the role of fathers in human history and how their main role continues to be teaching kids the skills they need to take risks, become independent, and navigate the world beyond their family. We also talk about the physiological changes that happen when a man becomes a father and how dads are just as biologically primed as mothers to parent. In the second half of our conversation, we talk about the experience of being a dad. Anna shares how long it typically takes a man to bond with a baby and transition into the role of fatherhood, how roughhousing is key in building that bond as well as developing your child's resilience, and how your personality and background will affect your parenting. We end our conversation with the difference in how the relationship between Mom and Dad affects how they parent, and the implications of that for building a strong family.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Article: The Importance of Fathers (According to Science)AoM Article: A Man’s Guide to Pregnancy — Getting Ready for the Baby BombAoM Article: A Man’s Guide to Pregnancy — Your Progeny Enters the WorldAoM Article:New Dad Survival Guide — The MindsetAoM Article: New Dad Survival Guide — The SkillsetAoM Podcast #119: Why Fathers Matter AoM Article: You Don’t Have to Be Your Dad — How to Become Your Family’s Transitional CharacterConnect With Anna MachinAnna's websiteAnna on XAnna on IG

Knowledge Project Key Takeaways Check out the episode pageRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgSucceeding in both life and business is very difficult. The skills needed to scale a company often clash with those required to cultivate a thriving home life. Yet, Brent Beshore seems to have cracked the code—or at least he&#39;s actively working on it. In this conversation, he spills his secrets on excelling in both arenas. This episode is split into two parts: the first 45 minutes covers life and how to be a better person. Brent opens up about the evolution of his marriage, physical health, and inner life. The rest of the episode focuses on business. Shane and Beshore discuss private equity, how to hire (and when to fire) CEOs, incentives, why debt isn’t a good thing in an unpredictable world, stewardship versus ownership, and why personality tests are so important for a functional organization.After beginning his career as an entrepreneur, Brent Beshore founded Permanent Equity in 2007 and leads the firm as CEO.

Invest Like the Best Key Takeaways  Leaders must “work up” through osmosis; do not assume that your messages are distributed throughout the company without intention and effort  Most organizations tell the leadership team what they want to hear; this can prevent the executive team from actually understanding what is happening within their own company The most effective ways to communicate are through stories, celebration, and recognition Great leaders are high energy and are willing to tolerate disagreementAs a leader, people want a piece of you; you must think about how you show them that you are invested in their success Leaders must be open to understanding what they do not know Every employee should understand what their CEO wants from them “To be a successful leader, you got to allocate capital right and allocate human resources right. If you do those two things right, everything else will fall into place. If you do them wrong – you can do everything else right, you can have great culture, all the rest – it’s not going to matter.” – Frank Blake Vision is powerful, but execution is even more so powerful Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgMy guest today is Frank Blake. Frank is the former chairman and CEO of Home Depot. I recently interviewed Home Depot co-founder Ken Langone and became fascinated by the business’s impressive lineup of leaders through the decades. Frank led the company from 2007 to 2014 and shares how he carried on the legacy of Ken and the others, upholding their culture of an inverted hierarchy and producing seven consecutive years of growth for the largest home improvement retailer in America. We discuss his hyper focus on solving their customer’s problems before their own, investing time into the employee experience, and his intentionality with how he is perceived as a leader.

Looking back, I believe that it is to this, that much of my success is due.(9:00) The idea of wearing a watch on one's wrist was thought to be contrary to the conception of masculinity.(10:00) Prior to World War 1 wristwatches for men did not exist.(11:00) Business is problems. The best companies are just effective problem solving machines.(12:00) My personal opinion is that pocket watches will almost completely disappear and that wrist watches will replace them definitively! I am not mistaken in this opinion and you will see that I am right." —Hans Wilsdorf, 1914(14:00) The highest order bit is belief: I had very early realized the manifold possibilities of the wristlet watch and, feeling sure that they would materialize in time, I resolutely went on my way. Rolex was thus able to get several years ahead of other watch manufacturers who persisted in clinging to the pocket watch as their chief product.(16:00) Clearly, the companies for whom the economics of twenty-four-hour news would have made the most sense were the Big Three broadcasters. They already had most of what was needed— studios, bureaus, reporters, anchors almost everything but a belief in cable.   —  Ted Turner's Autobiography (Founders #327)(20:00) Business Breakdowns #65 Rolex: Timeless Excellence(27:00)   Rolex was effectively the first watch brand to have real marketing dollars put behind a watch. Rolex did this in a concentrated way and they've continued to do it in a way that is simply just unmatched by others in their industry.(28:00) It's tempting during recession to cut back on consumer advertising. At the start of each of the last three recessions, the growth of spending on such advertising had slowed by an average of 27 percent. But consumer studies of those recessions had showed that companies that didn't cut their ads had, in the recovery, captured the most market share. So we didn't cut our ad budget. In fact, we raised it to gain brand recognition, which continued advertising sustains. — Four Seasons: The Story of a Business Philosophy by Isadore Sharp. (Founders #184)(32:00) Social proof is a form of leverage. — Poor Charlie's Almanack: The Wit and Wisdom of Charlie Munger. (Founders #329)(34:00) What really matters is Hans understood the opportunity better than anybody else, and invested heavily in developing the technology to bring his ideas to fruition.(35:00) On keeping the main thing the main thing for decades: In developing and extending my business, I have always had certain aims in mind, a course from which I never deviated.(41:00) Rolex wanted to only be associated with the best. They ran an ad with the headline: Men who guide the destinies of the world, where Rolex watches.(43:00) Opportunity creates more opportunites. The Oyster unlocked the opportunity for the Perpetual.(44:00) The easier you make something for the customer, the larger the market gets: “My vision was to create the first fully packaged computer. We were no longer aiming for the handful of hobbyists who liked to assemble their own computers, who knew how to buy transformers and keyboards. For every one of them there were a thousand people who would want the machine to be ready to run.” — Steve Jobs(48:00) More sources:Rolex Jubilee: Vade Mecum by Hans WilsdorfRolex Magazine: The Hans Wilsdorf YearsHodinkee: Inside the Manufacture.

Tetragrammaton with Rick Rubin ✓ Claim Key Takeaways Check out the episode pageRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgRobert Downey Jr. is an actor and producer whose critically acclaimed performance as Lewis Strauss in Christopher Nolan&#39;s Oppenheimer earned him an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, and a BAFTA Award. His newest project, The Sympathizer, an HBO miniseries based on the 2015 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name, has Downey Jr. taking on multiple roles simultaneously. Born into a family of filmmakers, Downey Jr. began acting as a child actor in his father&#39;s independent films, then entered mainstream Hollywood in the 1980s. His portrayal of the legendary Charlie Chaplin in the 1992 biopic Chaplin earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. After a period of personal struggles with substance abuse, Downey conquered his addiction, dedicated himself to sobriety, and made a remarkable professional resurgence. His starring roles as Tony Stark/Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in the action-adventure Sherlock Holmes, and in the action comedy Tropic Thunder catapulted him to global stardom. To date, Downey has appeared in over 70 movies, which have grossed over $14 billion, making Downey one of the highest-grossing actors of all time.  ------ Thank you to the sponsors that fuel our podcast and our team: Lucy https://lucy.co/tetra ------ LMNT Electrolytes https://drinklmnt.com/tetra ------ Squarespace https://squarespace.com/tetra ------ House of Macadamias https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/tetra

Knowledge Project The skills it takes to get rich are drastically different from the skills it takes to stay rich. Few understand this phenomenon more than Morgan Housel. He&#39;s identified unique lessons about wealth, happiness, and money by studying the world&#39;s richest families and learning what they did to build their wealth and just how quickly they squandered it all.In this conversation, Shane and Housel discuss various aspects of risk-taking, wealth accumulation, and financial independence. Morgan explains the importance of understanding personal financial goals and the dangers of social comparison, lets everyone in on his personal financial “mistake” that instantly made him sleep better at night, and why the poorest people in the world disproportionately play the lottery—and why it makes sense that they do. They also touch on the influence of upbringing on financial behaviors, the difference between being rich and wealthy, and the critical role of compounding in financial success. Of course, we can’t have a writer as good as Morgan Housel on the podcast and not ask him about his process, so Housel concludes with insights into storytelling, his writing processes, and the importance of leading by example in teaching financial values to children.Morgan Housel is a partner at Collaborative Fund. Previously, he was an analyst at The Motley Fool. He is a two-time winner of the Best in Business Award from the Society of American Business Editors and Writers and was selected by the Columbia Journalism Review for the Best Business Writing anthology. He&#39;s the author of two books: The Psychology of Money and Same as Ever.Watch the episode on YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/c/theknowledgeproject/videos⁠ Newsletter - I share timeless insights and ideas you can use at work and home.

I read a study that measured the efficiency of locomotion for various species on the planet. The condor used the least energy to move a kilometer. And, humans came in with a rather unimpressive showing, about a third of the way down the list. It was not too proud a showing for the crown of creation. So, that didn’t look so good. But, then somebody at Scientific American had the insight to test the efficiency of locomotion for a man on a bicycle. And, a man on a bicycle, a human on a bicycle, blew the condor away, completely off the top of the charts.And that’s what a computer is to me. What a computer is to me is it’s the most remarkable tool that we’ve ever come up with, it’s the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds.----If you want me to speak at your company go here. ----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

What Bitcoin Did Key Takeaways  Bitcoin is a technology for human empowerment; it enables better living through technology  You can have 100 opinions about everything that is wrong with the world, or you can focus on one thing and try to improve it; doing the latter may actually have an impact on upgrading the world The solution to entrenched, systemic problems is the introduction of a new idea that goes viral You change the world with elegant, diplomatic innovation, and not with hostile, full-frontal attacks There is serious dysfunction all over the world: the answer is not to side with one party or politician against the other; the solution is to spread the Orange Wave“Satoshi created a way. Satoshi gave it away. Satoshi went away.” – Michael Saylor   The more you know about economics and ethics, the more conservative and considerate you become about making changes to the protocol You must consider the second-order effects and unintended consequences of implementing change The focus should be on getting every powerful entity on earth to adopt bitcoin and converting potential enemies into friendsThere is an explosion in global consensus that Bitcoin is an idea whose time has come “Bitcoin is the most successful monetary protocol in the history of the world. It has gone from zero to $1.4 trillion in fifteen years. It looks like it’s on the path to go to $14 trillion, and I don’t know why it wouldn’t go to $140 trillion.” – Michael Saylor Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.org“I’m quite the optimist, I actually think that Bitcoin is going to succeed, it is succeeding, it’s succeeding as fast as it could reasonably succeed, and we ought to try to avoid the tendency to F with it.”— Michael SaylorMichael Saylor is the CEO of MicroStrategy.

Stuff You Should Know✓Claim Key Takeaways  The Silurian Hypothesis is a thought experiment and scientific inquiry proposed by Adam Frank and Gavin Schmidt, exploring the possibility of advanced civilizations existing on Earth millions of years before humansIt does not claim that such civilizations existed but rather serves as a framework for considering how we might detect signs of ancient advanced societiesAbout one-tenth of 1% of all the species that have ever existed have had one of their individuals fossilizedIn 88 million years, the Himalayan Mountains will be gone; it will just be a meadow where they once wereFuture species will likely find evidence of our nuclear tests, which include compounds such as plutonium 244 and 129The earth’s surface erodes at 0.1 millimeters per year Whether a civilization is long-lived or short-lived, the record it leaves will be a blimp on the geological record, in the grand scheme of time Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgThe idea that we aren’t the first advanced civilization to live on Earth sounds like a fringe theory, but it raises a good question: How can we be so sure that a civilization didn’t arise and die on Earth so long ago that any trace of it has been erased?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I live by those words. To this day, I don't enjoy working. I enjoy playing, and figuring out how to connect playing with business. To me, that's my niche. People talk about my work ethic as a player, but they don't understand. What appeared to be hard work to others was simply playing for me.You have to be uncompromised in your level of commitment to whatever you are doing, or it can disappear as fast as it appeared. Look around, just about any person or entity achieving at a high level has the same focus. The morning after Tiger Woods rallied to beat Phil Mickelson at the Ford Championship in 2005, he was in the gym by 6:30 to work out. No lights. No cameras. No glitz or glamour. Uncompromised. I knew going against the grain was just part of the process.The mind will play tricks on you. The mind was telling you that you couldn't go any further. The mind was telling you how much it hurt. The mind was telling you these things to keep you from reaching your goal. But you have to see past that, turn it all off if you are going to get where you want to be.I would wake up in the morning thinking: How am I going to attack today?I’m not so dominant that I can’t listen to creative ideas coming from other people. Successful people listen. Those who don’t listen, don’t survive long.In all honesty, I don't know what's ahead. If you ask me what I'm going to do in five years, I can't tell you. This moment? Now that's a different story. I know what I'm doing moment to moment, but I have no idea what's ahead. I'm so connected to this moment that I don't make assumptions about what might come next, because I don't want to lose touch with the present. Once you make assumptions about something that might happen, or might not happen, you start limiting the potential outcomes. ----Get access to the World’s Most Valuable Notebook for FoundersYou can read, reread, and search all my notes and highlights from every book I've ever read for the podcast. You can also ask SAGE any question and SAGE will read all my notes, highlights, and every transcript from every episode for you. A few questions I've asked SAGE recently: What are the most important leadership lessons from history's greatest entrepreneurs?Can you give me a summary of Warren Buffett's best ideas?

Starting Greatness with Mike Maples Key Takeaways  Be non-consensus, but right: Great startups identify something that is missing in the future that no one else realizes is missing Figure out what you want that you can’t already get, then build it It is important for the founders of a company to truly want the thing that they are creating You must be willing to have thoughts and say things that cause investors to say, “that is the dumbest thing that I’ve ever heard” You can succeed with a consensus idea if you are willing to relentlessly out-execute everyone else, but it is going to be much harder than succeeding with a non-consensus idea Seek honest feedback from users and consumers instead of seeking validation from them Have a broad hypothesis, but be open to the non-obvious thing when it presents itself or when you discover it Winning is a mindset that pervades all elseErr on the side of over-persistence; people tend to give up before they really give something a shot Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgEmmett Shear was a gamer long before he helped define one of the most important new media companies at the intersection of gaming, media, and the creator economy.

James Altucher Show Key Takeaways  Fears and risks are not reasons why we should not try to move forward and make positive use of new technologies Educators must be explicit about why they are giving certain tasks, in addition to being more explicit about the types of tools that are acceptable and those that are not AI will enable teachers to spend more time on the human connection part of their jobs Few people retain most of what they are exposed to in school; in fact, 60-70% of kids who go to community college have to receive remediation, not even at a high school level, but at a 7th-grade level Moving education to a competency-based system forces educators to get more clear about what they care about There is a false tension between equity and competency; universities have artificially held capacity constant when it does not need to be A question to consider: if you can solve a problem, can you use technology to help you scale any solutions that you have?  Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgA Note from James:Oh my gosh, I've been wanting to have this guy on my podcast for literally ten years, ever since I started. I am so impressed with him, and he speaks about a subject near and dear to my heart. Salman Khan, Sal Khan, is the creator of Khan Academy, which was really the first big online academy. It focused on teaching math, coding, and other subjects, effectively reaching people who went through years of school without truly mastering these topics. Khan Academy has had a profound understanding of education and has become a huge phenomenon.150 million students have used Khan Academy, with that number representing monthly users or registered accounts. Sal Khan recently authored a book on how AI will revolutionize education, titled "Brave New Words: How AI Will Revolutionize Education and Why That's a Good Thing." He discusses the use of AI in education for students, teachers, and employers, providing valuable insights into not only education but also AI and its impact on our lives. He addresses common fears about AI, its role in creativity, learning, and whether it will replace jobs or facilitate new employment opportunities.I finally got the chance to interview Sal Khan about Khan Academy and AI. I learned so much, and I hope you will too.Episode Description:In this thought-provoking episode of The James Altucher Show, we embark on an exploratory journey into the future of education with none other than Salman Khan, the visionary founder of Khan Academy. As AI continues to seep into every facet of our lives, its potential to transform educational paradigms stands both as an opportunity and a profound challenge. Salman shares intriguing insights from his latest book, *Brave New Words: How AI Will Revolutionize Education and Why That's a Good Thing*, delving into AI's role not just as a disruptor, but as a potent catalyst for educational equity and innovation.Salman's perspective is not just about theoretical possibilities; it's grounded in the tangible impact Khan Academy has had on democratizing education for millions globally. He recounts the Academy's genesis from humble beginnings — a series of YouTube tutorials for his cousin — to a global phenomenon. What stands out is his belief in AI's potential to further this mission, tailoring learning experiences to meet individual student's needs and inspiring both educators and learners to view AI as a partner, rather than a threat.This episode is a beacon of optimism for educators, parents, and creatives alike, providing nuanced viewpoints on AI's implementation in classrooms, its potential to reshape content creation, and the critical role of humans in steering this technological revolution. Salman envisions a future where AI supports personalized learning journeys, making the exceptional accessible to many rather than a privileged few.James engages Salman in discussions that span the philosophical to the practical, from concerns over AI-induced job displacement to the future of screenwriting in the age of algorithmic creativity. Yet, at its core, this dialogue returns always to the transformative potential of AI in enriching human understanding and connection — whether in interpreting Shakespeare or solving quadratic equations.If you're looking for a blend of futurism with grounded optimism or curious about how technology could enhance human capabilities rather than replace them, this episode is an enlightening listen. As always, James brings his signature mix of curiosity and skepticism, pushing beyond surface-level concerns to uncover the deeper implications of our evolving relationship with AI. Listen in to reimagine what education could become in an AI-integrated world, and perhaps to catch a glimpse of how we might navigate these uncharted waters with wisdom and humanity at the helm.Episode Summary:00:00 Introduction to the Podcast and Sal Khan's Impact03:00 Exploring Sal Khan's Personal Background05:12 The Genesis of Khan Academy08:26 Transitioning Khan Academy into a Nonprofit Giant09:53 AI's Role in Revolutionizing Education12:45 Addressing AI and Cheating in Education16:03 The Future of Education and AI's Collaborative Potential24:24 Reimagining the Role of Teachers in an AI-Enhanced World29:43 Rethinking Education Systems for the Future34:56 Personalized Learning and AI's Role40:50 AI's Role in Education: Enhancing Teacher and Student Experiences43:05 The Future of Education: Trends and AI Integration44:37 Revolutionizing Assessments and Personalized Learning with AI54:25 Addressing the Creative Industry's Concerns About AI01:01:42 Parenting in the Age of AI: Opportunities and Challenges01:15:34 The Future of Education Credentials and Access01:20:26 Concluding Thoughts on AI's Impact on EducationLinks and Resources:"Brave New Words: How AI Will Revolutionize Education and Why That's a Good Thing" by Salman Khan and Other Creators - For more information on the book: https://www.amazon.com/Brave-New-Words-Revolutionize-Education/dp/1119824848Khan Academy - A nonprofit educational organization offering free courses on a wide array of subjects: https://www.khanacademy.orgOpenAI and ChatGPT - Creators of the Generative Pre-trained Transformer AI models: https://openai.comTyler Perry - Filmmaker discussing the impact of AI on his industry decisions: https://tylerperry.comDuke TIP (Talent Identification Program) - An example of advanced learning programs for youth: https://tip.duke.edu ------------What do YOU think of the show?

He underscores the lack of empathy and understanding many experience, attributing it to societal expectations and the impact of technology. Scott emphasizes the winner-take-most economy, which limits opportunities for many young men. Drawing from personal understanding, he stresses the importance of education, support, and the presence of positive male role models. The discussion encompasses economic challenges, the decline of mentorship programs, and the need for reform in higher education institutions. Addressing societal constructs of masculinity and the importance of vulnerability and integrity, Scott advocates embracing emotions and seeking help to navigate life’s hurdles. He stands apart as a model of healthy, grounded masculinity—one defined by humility, emotional intelligence, and a commitment to uplifting the collective rather than indulging narrow self-interest.

Invest Like the Best Key Takeaways  Dunbar’s number suggests that humans can maintain about 150 relationships at a given time Humans have spent most of our lives in smaller, hunter-gatherer groups; existing together in large cities is a relatively new thing for the species The best predictor of your mental and physical health – in addition to how long you are going to live into the future – is the number and quality of your closest relationships There is a correlation between the number of friends people claim to have and the size of certain regions in their brains “If you really want to live forever, just make sure you have five friends.” – Robin Dunbar The emotional closeness of a relationship is highly correlated to the amount of time invested in it Laughter, singing, and storytelling are how we foster emotional closeness with others without physical touch Homophily is the tendency for people to seek out or be attracted to those who are similar to themselves; this is the driving force behind friendships Face-to-face relationships are paramount: there is a significant difference between bonding with something in your head and with someone in the real worldRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgMy guest today is Robin Dunbar. Robin is a biological anthropologist, evolutionary psychologist, and specialist in primate behavior. He is the man behind Dunbar’s number, a theory about the number of stable relationships we can maintain at once. Robin unravels the thread of research that led him to Dunbar’s number and describes how this plays into every single person’s layers of human connection. It was fascinating to hear how his findings on social circles have implications for optimally structuring businesses and organizations, as well as the idea of homophily, all of which Robin thoughtfully explains. It was a treat to get to explore these topics with Robin Dunbar himself so please enjoy this great conversation.   Listen to Founders Podcast For the full show notes, transcript, and links to mentioned content, check out the episode page here. ----- This episode is brought to you by Tegus, the only investment research platform built for fundamental investors.

Stuff You Should Know✓Claim Key Takeaways  The Love Canal neighborhood in Niagara Falls, New York was the site of the worst environmental disaster involving chemical waste in U.S. history The site was eventually filled in, and years later after selling the land to the City of Niagara for $1, housing developments and a school were built on top of it In just a few years after people started living in the area, some people began developing horrible physical defects, and the rate of birth defects skyrocketed Many residents who moved into the area had no idea that toxic waste was stored below them In 1976, the Niagara Gazette published the first article that explained the origins of the Love Canal neighborhood, explaining the history of the Hooker Company and the toxic waste that was buried beneath the soil It took several years for the issue to be acknowledged; several city-sponsored investigations took place, but the results were not shared with the local populous Grassroot initiatives, led by Lois Gibbs, eventually brought national media attention to the crisis; her efforts led to $50+ million in federal and state funding to mitigate the effects of the disaster A state of emergency was declared, the town was eventually shut down and flattened, and all but two families left Love CanalPeople have since moved back into the area, which is now known as Black Creek; today, some of the people living in the town remain unaware of the history of Love Canal  Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgA man with an unfulfilled vision left a huge gash in the ground near Niagara Falls.

Modern Wisdom Key Takeaways  The key question to consider about work and productivity: “How do we produce stuff, and be proud and ambitious about what we are doing, but also not burn out?” Pseudo-productivity places too great an emphasis on looking busy but not creating anything of value; it is busyness for the sake of busyness because measuring productivity any other way in the knowledge work sector is too difficult  Do not shatter your day into fragments so small that you get nothing meaningful done History’s greatest knowledge workers worked very slowly Doing fewer things at once will enable you to accomplish more things Your results are determined by intensity in the short term and consistency in the long term Never give a yes or a no in the room; not saying yes or no in the room creates psychological distance from the decision “Busyness” is attractive to people because it is a goal that they can succeed at; if a person wants to be busy, they will be busy   Signal to others that you are very careful about your time“People who obsess over quality grow antibodies to busyness.” – Cal Newport Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgCal Newport is a computer science professor at Georgetown University, a productivity expert and an author. If you’ve ever felt that you’re not as productive as you could be, you’re not alone. But what if the goal isn&#39;t to be more productive, but to let go of the goals that aren&#39;t serving you? What if the power of saying no to more things is the most important skill you can develop? Expect to learn what our current problem with being productive is, why pseudo-productivity is a catastrophe, the advantages to what Cal calls Slow Productivity, how to better organise your communication, the best strategies for implementing a productivity schedule, how to stop saying yes all the time and much more...

Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu Key Takeaways  Inflation is a hidden tax on the people; instead of the government openly taking your money with direct taxation, it creates new money out of thin air which robs people of their purchasing powerGovernments debase their currency because they know there is no other way to pay their existing debts In the United States, houses used to cost about 3x the median income; now they cost about 10x the median income “If it doesn’t have intrinsic value, then it’s not going to be money.” – Peter Schiff“This is the best macro opportunity of all time.” – Raoul Pal on bitcoin People wrongly assume that the dollars we print will always have value, regardless of how many dollars are printed Central banks are paying the debts by printing money; this is pure monetary debasement Papering over the debts with more printed money does not solve the fundamental problem Politicians do not do what is best for the country; they do what is best for their careers, which is often at odds with what is best for the country“They are going to keep on printing until the dollar collapses.” – Peter Schiff The free market tries to lower prices by increasing productivity while the government tries to raise prices by creating inflation Using inflation to melt away existing debts is not the “right” choice, but it is the expedient choice – and likely the option that politicians will choose We will deal with the consequences of currency debasement once the can cannot be kicked any further down the road  Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgWelcome back to part 2 of this power-packed debate with Peter Schiff and Raoul Pal!  The discussion continues as we dive deeper into:  - The growing national debt and potential hyperinflation - Historical patterns of financial repression - Blockchain technology and digital asset utilization - The future of Social Security  You won’t want to miss out on the final part of this hot debate between Raoul Pal and Peter Schiff.  And if you&#39;re loving the Impact Theory Podcast, please take a moment to leave us a review or rate the show.

Jordan B Peterson Podcast Key Takeaways  You don’t get to choose your callings; what interests you may be out of your control Mentorship is a manifestation of the instinct for fatherhood; the species would not survive without this instinct If a topic consumes you, use that obsession to your advantage No matter where you are on your path to a goal, some people are behind you and who may benefit from the things that you have learned thus far If you are seeking mentorship, do not just “take” in the interaction; be willing to provide value and make the interaction worthwhile for the mentor While there is not a lot you can do to increase your raw intelligence, you can discipline yourself to become more conscientious, which is the second-best predictor of success in a complex enterprise The markers that we find attractive in others are typically the markers of biological healthThe best way to sustain and develop your cognitive function is through physical exerciseLearn from those who are in your proximate zone of development; exclusively learning from the top 1% of a given field may not be relevant to you, depending on your current ability  Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgDr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down in-person with Derek from the “More Plates More Dates Podcast.” They discuss Derek's journey into the fitness industry, how he became a main player in the “manosphere,” developing self motivation, effective ways to find a mentor, and how to recognize when the adventure of your life is calling. Derek is the founder of the “More Plates More Dates” YouTube channel, where he discusses strategies to optimize your health and nutrition.

Modern Wisdom Key Takeaways  Cynicism is not a sign of intelligence, but a substitute for it and a way to shield oneself from betrayal and disappointment without having to actually thinkMore data does not make us more informed, but more confused People define uncertain outcomes as less tolerable than bad outcomesPunishing speech in the form of censorship is ultimately a request to be deceived  Many people would rather be hated than unknown Appearing to do good has become more important than actually doing good We are most likely to act when our judgment can be trusted leastYour surroundings greatly impact your beliefs; develop beliefs that are universal As people become more successful, they tend to neglect the habits that made them so interesting in the first place Most people do not navigate the world with a truth-and-false filter, but with an us-vs-them filter Humans turn events into stories because it helps brings order to chaos Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgGurwinder Bhogal is a programmer and a writer. Gurwinder is one of my favourite Twitter follows. He’s written yet another megathread exploring human nature, cognitive biases, mental models, status games, crowd behaviour and social media. It&#39;s fantastic, and today we go through some of my favourites. Expect to learn whether cynical people are actually smarter, why people tend to find uncertain outcomes so intolerable, why people would rather lie than say what they really think, whether people would rather be hated than unknown, why appearing to do good has become more important than actually doing good and much more...

The "What is Money?" Show ✓ Claim Key Takeaways  Money is energy; a monetary system is an energy system “The civilization that channels energy most effectively wins.” – Michael Saylor  Debasing the currency is equivalent to energy leaking out of the system; at a 7% debasement rate, half of the energy leaks from the system every ten yearsEngineers design systems with the laws of thermodynamics in mind, but economists do not You cannot cheat mother nature; an energy system cannot cheat the laws of physics  As the currency leaked 7-14% of its energy per year over the past several decades, market participants realized that the US dollar was not a store of value, so they monetized other assets, such as the S&amp;P 500 and real estate, to preserve their purchasing power Leakage destroys energy systems; in the context of a monetary system, leakage is monetary inflation   When money works perfectly, it is economic energy. But when it is captured by politics and becomes corrupted, it becomes imperfect energy    Satoshi Nakamoto created an engineering solution to monetary debasement and central banking The recipe for creating virtue in a monetary system is to plug it into nature; proof-of-work mining subjects Bitcoin to the virtues of nature “Just like we can’t expect to advance without mastering the flow of water, or mechanics, or fire, or electricity, we can’t really expect to drive forward the socio-economic-political systems of humanity without mastering money, or monetary engineering.” – Michael Saylor   Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgMichael Saylor joins me for a synopsis of our 17-episode series together titled "The Saylor Series."

Jordan B Peterson Podcast Key Takeaways  “If you take care of your people, your people will take care of you.” – Jocko Willink Learn from the past, but dwelling too much on it can be counterproductive Relaxation is not the ultimate reward for success In the book of Abraham, the conception of God is the voice that calls you to adventure; the most devout path is the path with the highest adventure “The safest place to store your wealth is in your reputation, and the most effective way of developing your reputation is to be of the most service you can be to other people.” – Jordan Peterson Real prestige comes from the ability Ego causes fissions within teams Your people must understand why they are doing something Lead with the minimum force required and give your people ownership over what they do Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgDr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down in-person with retired Navy SEAL, author, speaker, and podcaster, Jocko Willink.

Art of Manliness When Sam Rosenberg was 20 years old and working as a bouncer in a bar, a disgruntled patron pointed a gun directly at his chest and told him: “Now I’m going to kill you.”Sam survived the incident but it caused him to question what he thought he knew about self-defense and sent him on a decades-long quest to figure out how people can best protect themselves and others.Today on the show, I talk to Sam, an expert in personal protection and the author of Live Ready: A Guide to Protecting Yourself in an Uncertain World, about his self-defense philosophy and how you can use it in your life to stay safe from violent threats. Sam makes the case that understanding how the mind works under life-or-death stress is the foundation of protecting yourself. We unpack that idea, as well as the phases of the timeline of violence, the phase you can exercise the most control in to deter a violent encounter and how to know when you’re in that phase, how to convey you’re a hard target that predators don’t want to mess with, and much more.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Article: The Tao of Boyd — How to Master the OODA LoopAoM Article: A Crash Course in Real World Self-DefenseAoM Article: How to Treat Your Family Like VIPsAoM Podcast #85: Situational Awareness With Patrick Van HorneAoM Podcast #198: Turning Yourself Into a Human Weapon With Tony BlauerAoM Podcast #334: When Violence Is the AnswerAoM Podcast #513: Be Your Own BodyguardAoM Podcast #688: Protection for and From HumanityAoM Podcast #781: Beyond OODA — Developing the Orientation for Conflict and ViolenceConnect With Sam RosenbergLiveReady website

My guests today, Joe and Mell Hashey, had their lives turned upside down in 2020, forcing them to bid farewell to their cherished "dream home" and embark on a 2,000-mile journey to an unfamiliar town, where they knew no one. This transformative experience became the catalyst for the creation of Strong Family Co. — a versatile framework any family can adopt to establish values and cultivate stress-free family leadership.  Joe Hashey earned his Master of Education from Colgate University, where he played football for a few years before four knee surgeries. He went on to become an award-winning high school social studies teacher for eight years and a local youth coach. Mell Hashey is a former social worker turned stay-at-home mom of three. In college, Joe's father passed away due to preventable health issues. Fueled by a passion for promoting health and wellness, Joe launched a local personal training company dedicated to helping busy adults live longer and healthier lives. He has been a prominent leader in his community for 15 years and was honored as the Chamber of Commerce's Small Business Person of the Year in 2018. Realizing he was dedicating more time to his business than to his family, Joe swiftly rebalanced. Now, as a business consultant for companies coast to coast, he applies those lessons to guide the most important organization in his life: his family. Together, the Hasheys penned, Strong Family Guidebook: Your Guide to Raising Confident, Independent, and Resilient Children, a practical guide full of the wisdom that transformed their family into a resilient unit. Joe and Mell emphasize the irreplaceable role parents play in their children's lives, reminding you that amidst career and financial pursuits, parenthood is earned through daily commitment. From organizing family meetings to instilling lasting principles in your children, The Strong Family Guidebook offers an operating system for your family's unique values and dynamics, fostering a resilient family, where individual strengths contribute to the collective magic that binds you together.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett Key Takeaways Light is the signal our brain uses as a master clock, regulating our circadian rhythm – we have to sleep at the right time, view light at the right time, and be in darkness at the right time “Our relationship to light will directly influence the trajectory of our health. There’s just no question about that.” ­– Kristen Holmes“Sleep is the greatest natural performance enhancer we have on this planet.” – Kristen HolmesTips for deeper sleep: view bright light within 20 minutes of waking; dim all lights and avoid light viewing as much as possible after the sun sets; avoid eating 3 hours before bed; sleep in a dark, cold room; manage stress throughout the day as much as possibleThere is a lot we can control to reduce vulnerability to diseaseAlign your behaviors with the things you say you care about– if you’re struggling to adopt healthier behaviors, you need to find clarity on what you care about; this could mean cutting people or things out of your life who do not support who you want to be Your behaviors send you closer or further from the person you want to beDo the work to figure out who you want to be in the world: what do you value, who do you want to be, how do you want to spend your timeWorking out for one hour per day does not give you a license to sit the rest of the day! Exercise to optimize HRV:(1) Zone 5 (max heart rate) 2-3 times per week; (2) 200-300 minutes of zone 2 per weekTop tips for better health today: (1) prioritize consistent sleep-wake cycle; (2) consume all calories within a 10-hour timeframe, ideally ending 3 hours before bed Just these two will have a significant downstream effect and regulate your relationship with lightRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIf you have ever wanted to understand what exactly Circadian Rhythm is, and its unbelievable total body impacts, this is the episode for you.

Tetragrammaton with Rick Rubin ✓ Claim Key Takeaways  Acting is seeking a deep understanding of another person’s experience Do not let self-consciousness and ego take you out of the present moment Your strength – taken to excess – can become your weaknessIt is difficult to wrangle the ideas that circulate in your head; they become what they becomeThe challenge in life is recovering simplicity After exhausting your wave of creative work, you have two choices: either repeat that work, or you can stop, refill yourself with life, and be willing to start an entirely new adventure It takes courage to step away from an identity that has served youEven if you think that you have liberated yourself from certain things, you still hold onto the DNA memory of the way you were taught to view the world “I always think of the work as solving a puzzle.” – Rick Rubin  If the art is opaque, it tends to be narcissistic; if the art is transparent, it tends to be mythological Creating art is not a zero-sum game Bad ideas on paper can still result in masterpieces Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgEdward Norton is one of the great actors of his generation.

A16z Podcast Key Takeaways  Universities still matter, especially the really good ones; the decisions made at elite universities end up influencing the future of the country The bundling of the university is evidence that it has evolved; however, it is important for university leaders to continually evaluate that bundle to ensure that it makes senseThe main credentialing of the college degree is in two parts: the fact that you were admitted and the fact that you graduated The admissions process is an IQ test and the graduation process is a conscientiousness test For many degrees, the degree is worth less than the wage that it will command in the free market University tuition rates have increased 2-3x more than the general inflation rate; if current trends continue, the cost of a four-year education at an elite university will cost $1MIncreasingly, the policy recommendations that come out of the think tank component of universities are sharply partisan and extremeStanford and Yale have more administrative staff than they have students! Universities are highly dependent on their current model continuing indefinitely; they are not as fiscally stable as they may seem from the outside perspective In 2015, 57% of American voters had a positive view of American universities; in 2023, that number fell to 36% Entrepreneurial opportunities tend to emerge when an industry experiences systemic shifts Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this one-on-one conversation, Marc and Ben tackle the university system – what has certainly been a hot topic that’s been dominating the news over the past few months. As Marc states at the top of the episode, universities matter tremendously to our world, but they’re currently in a state of crisis.Together, Ben and Marc take a “structural” look at higher education, delving deep into the twelve functions of the modern university.  They also unpack the numerous challenges that universities face today – student debt and the replication crisis, among them. They also discuss topics including DEI, student athlete admissions, accreditation, inflation, and much more. As colleges face an existential threat that could have long lasting repercussions, how can we find ways to improve these institutions, while being open to new entrepreneurial opportunities in education?Check out the Ben and Marc show: https://link.chtbl.com/benandmarc Stay Updated: Find a16z on Twitter: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zSubscribe on your favorite podcast app: https://a16z.simplecast.com/Follow our host: https://twitter.com/stephsmithioPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Honestly with Bari Weiss ✓ Claim Last year was certainly eventful. 2023 brought spy balloons, Donald Trump’s indictments, the coronation of a king, the fall of a crypto prince, and no shortage of chaos in Washington, from the ousting of Kevin McCarthy to the farcical George Santos scandal. Oh and then there’s the small matter of two major wars, one in Gaza and one in Ukraine. Plus, ongoing tension between the U.S. and China. On a cheerier note, 2023 was also the year of Barbenheimer, the year when it felt like AI really arrived, and the year when the 90s were finally cool again.   But, as crazy as last year was, will the next twelve months prove that it was actually just the calm before the storm?  For many of us, 2024 begins with a distinct feeling of dread.  The Middle East grows increasingly unstable, the war in Ukraine is not going Kyiv’s way, and Xi Jinping’s rhetoric gets more bellicose by the day. Here at home, there’s the small matter of the election from hell, in which American voters face the unappetizing prospect of once again having to choose between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.  To try and figure out whether things will really be as terrible as we fear, today on Honestly Bari Weiss and FP editor Olly Wiseman are calling up some of our favorite experts to get a better sense of what’s coming down the pike.  The great Tyler Cowen looks into the economic crystal ball. Leandra Medine clues us in on fashion trends in 2024. Our very own Suzy Weiss talks through the cultural year ahead. Linguist John McWhorter looks at language. Doctor and longevity expert Peter Attia tells how to start the year healthy. Eagle-eyed political observers Nate Silver and Frank Luntz try to forecast the election. And the historian Niall Ferguson tells us whether we’re right to be having nightmares about World War III.  Some guests cheered us up, others freaked us out. All of them were a pleasure to talk to.

Found My Fitness - Rhonda Patrick Key Takeaways “The healthier an individual is, the more they can rely on their mitochondria for ATP generation under increasing demands of the cell. This is one of the hallmarks of health.” – Dr. Peter AttiaSpend good time training in Zone 2; this means a rate you can hold a conversation and form sentences at, but really don’t want toFor many, rate of perceived exertion is an accurate measureMaffetone heart rate is a helpful target: take 180-age for target HRFour things are causal risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: (1) ApoB; (2) insulin resistance; (3) hypertension; (4) smokingStatin use is inexpensive, accessible, and effective but “If money were no issue, you’d probably just be on PCKS9 inhibitors, ezetimibe, and bempedoic acid.” – Dr. Peter AttiaTip: don’t skip your eye exams! By looking at the retina and capillaries at the back of the eye, diabetes can be detected earlier“Exercise is probably the single most important thing we have at our disposal to increase insulin sensitivity.” – Dr. Peter AttiaSleep, energy balance, hormone balance are key as wellTo optimize cardiovascular health and mitochondrial efficiency: start with how much time you’re willing to exercise – then divide that into 80/20 with 80% at zone 2 and 20% at VO2 max VO2 max sweet spot is 3-8 minutes with 1:1 ratio of rest to recovery – it takes some time to find how much effort you can put out in this time; it’s slower than a Tabata (20 on/10 off x 8 rounds) but by no means endurance  “Exercise is probably the single most important thing we have at our disposal to increase insulin sensitivity.” – Dr. Peter AttiaThe difference between normal glucose and type 2 diabetes is just a teaspoon of blood glucose – muscle is the sink for glucose disposalSmoking and obesity are the greatest modifiable risk factors for cancer Why obesity? It’s not actually the amount of fate cells; it’s likely the inflammatory environment that comes with obesity –the excess fat that spills into areas where fat accumulation is harmful like around organs, in muscleTip: don’t rely on mammograms exclusively, especially if you’re high risk – combine with ultrasound or MRI“There has been no greater disservice brought by the medical community onto anyone, in particular in this case women, than the abject failure of the Women’s Health Initiative.” – Dr. Peter AttiaHormone replacement therapy started at the onset of menopause will help most womenTestosterone replacement therapy in men should be based on bloodwork in combination with symptoms – but be conservative, there are side effects for individuals at risk (hair loss, slightly elevated risk of cardiovascular events, acne)Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.org Download the 9-Page "Cognitive Enhancement Blueprint" Discover my premium podcast The Aliquot Show notes are available by clicking here Peter Attia, MD is a highly respected expert in preventive medicine, focused on the crucial subject of longevity and cardiovascular health.

Tetragrammaton with Rick Rubin ✓ Claim Key Takeaways  The more technology and capitalism we get, the better things are going to get Fundamentally, whether or not a startup succeeds depends on whether it is building a product that people want Great people want to be around other great people; most companies are too tolerant of mediocrity In the long run, even the most innovative companies eventually become boringTall Poppy Syndrome: Due to humanity’s tribal inclinations, the Tall Poppy – the person trying to do something new – tends to get cut When something in tech is successful, it tends to change the status structures and hierarchies of societyThe Law of Crappy People: The quality of any level in the company will degrade to the worst person at that level “More companies die of indigestion than of starvation.” – Marc Andreessen  The best companies can think in the long term despite the pressures to prioritize the short-term New things in the world are not going to show up predictably By 2030 or 2035, you will be able to have the equivalent of 1,000 AI programmers writing code for you Most people who are opposed to technological change are not opposed to the given technology but are opposed to how that technology may diminish their status and power Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgMarc Andreessen is a prominent entrepreneur, investor, and software engineer best known for his key role in the development of the early internet. In the early 90s, Marc co-created Mosaic, a pioneering web browser, while a student at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign.

I quit big tech, moved back in with my parents, sold my car, let go of my apartment, bought about $100K of GPUs, and I just started building.” – Guillaume VerdonThe goal of the e/acc movement is for the human techno-capital mimetic machine to become self-aware and to superstitiously engineer its growthThe core thesis of e/acc: The adaptation of the system is what has gotten us to this point in time; this process is good, and we should keep it going The market is more efficient at achieving optimums than are heavy-handed regulations, which tend to be subversive and written by the incumbents  Any centralized power structure becomes a target for those who want to co-opt it A system that maintains dynamism and adaptability avoids tyranny  The way to a good future is to shape adversarial equilibria between the various AI players Whatever configuration of matter or information leads to maximal growth is where humans and AI will converge; we can either align ourselves with this trajectory or get left behind by trying to decelerateContinuing to climb up the Kardashev scale is the great challenge of our time  Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgGuillaume Verdon (aka Beff Jezos on Twitter) is a physicist, quantum computing researcher, and founder of e/acc (effective accelerationism) movement.

Ten Percent Happier with Dan Harris Key Takeaways  A “peak mind” is a mind that has access to its full attentional awareness You must develop an awareness of the current state of your mind so that you can negotiate what is best to do next, based on that awareness Focus is the brain’s orienting system; focus is like using a flashlight in a dark room When you think you are multitasking, you are just task-switching The data suggests that the advertised benefits of meditation can be achieved with about 12 minutes of meditation per day, done 4-5 days per weekThe goal of meditation is not to end mind-wandering, but to create a different relationship with it Allowing the mind to wander for some periods can be very beneficialRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgHow to stay focused, fight distraction, and function at your peak.Dr. Amishi Jha is a professor of psychology at the University of Miami.

Econtalk What's different about companies that accomplish amazing things? Perhaps surprisingly, says Andrew McAfee of MIT, it has nothing to do with being agile or with better technology. Instead, they've developed what he calls "geek" cultures, which emphasize intense cooperation, rapid learning curves, and a lack of hierarchy. Listen as McAfee talks about his book The Geek Way with EconTalk's Russ Roberts and how focusing on company norms, as opposed to organizational charts and structure, is a key to realizing big ambitions. They also discuss the role that data and evidence play in geek companies' decision-making and why the willingness to embrace failure is a winning strategy.

The Daily Stoic Key Takeaways  Ask yourself, “What is the thing that I uniquely enjoy?” Since there is so much noise in sales, you must do something to stand out; using humor and satire are two ways to do that To make the niche content funny, you need to know the terminology of the niche There are no rules on X/Twitter; the owner of the site sells cars… we are on Twitter to have fun and laugh!Criteria for identifying problems to solve: market size, excitement, time-to-first-dollar, and product viability Having passion for the space and users you are serving is probably more important than passion for the individual idea Don’t get married to your original idea; be open to pivoting throughout your journey Question to consider: “Am I working on something valuable to the world?” Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgSo it goes for ego. To the untrained eye, it can be mistaken for confidence. The person’s self-centeredness, their certainty, their entitlement—this seems like the way that only the most important and gifted person in the world could get away with acting. In reality, the person doesn’t feel that way inside at all. On the contrary, they feel very small. Nero, for instance, demanded that enormous audiences celebrate his greatness. This was also the same emperor who banished a poet from Rome for being too talented, and thus a threat.-And with today's meditation on the day's Daily Journal excerpt, Ryan reminds us that as we get older we should get better at not taking it taking it for granted, living each day as a representation as the person you aspire to be.

James Altucher Show When my children or good friends have problems and difficulties in life, you would think I would recommend to them my book Choose Yourself, which describes times when I've had hardships and the ways I used to pick myself out of being broke or sick or depressed.But that is not the book I give people. I usually give them The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod, and starting today, I’ll be giving them The Miracle Morning Update and Expanded Edition: The Not So Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life(Before 8 AM) by Hal Elrod. It's the 10th anniversary of the original book, it's an expanded edition. He now includes The Miracle Evening, The Miracle Life, and more!Imagine you wake up one morning, your lung has collapsed, you have cancer, and you're told you're going to die in two or three weeks. Hal Elrod had been doing the Miracle Morning for years when that happened to him, and he shows how it applied during a situation like that. It helped him when he was going broke and losing his house and when he got into a car accident and was declared dead three times on the way to the hospital. It has helped the hundreds of thousands of people who participate in his community and have embraced the ideas in this book and his SAVERS acronym.We talk about it all, and he's one of my favorite people.

Trimble (Founders #150)(35:00) I always knew that if we fixed all the flat tires in town, we'd have all the tire business in town.(40:00) If we become complacent, then brother, it's all over with.(52:00) Grinding It Out: The Making of McDonald's by Ray Kroc (Founders #293)(56:00) If you’re not serving the customer, or supporting the folks who do, we don’t need you. —Sam Walton(1:00:00) The company paid low wages and had a lower overhead. The flaw was they didn’t get —with the low pay— near the quality of employees we had.(1:01:00) Life is hard for the man who thinks he can take a shortcut.(1:06:00) Decision making should always be made at the lowest possible level.(1:08:00) Whatever you do, you must do it with gusto, you must do it in volume. It is a case of repeat, repeat, repeat.(1:08:00) Charlie Munger analyzes why Les Schwab was successful.(1:11:00) Extreme success is likely to be caused by some combination of the following factors:1 Extreme maximization or minimization of one or two variables. Think Costco.2 Adding success factors so that a bigger combination drives success, often in nonlinear fashion, as one is reminded by the concept of breakpoint and the concept of critical mass in physics. Often, results are not linear. You get a little bit more mass and you get a lollapalooza result. And, of course, I've been searching for lollapalooza results all my life, so I'm very interested in models that explain their occurrence.3 An extreme of good performance over many factors. Example, Toyota or Les Schwab.4 Catching and riding some sort of big wave. Example, Oracle.----Get access to the World’s Most Valuable Notebook for Founders by investing in a subscription to Founders Notes----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

Drive with Dr. Peter Attia Key Takeaways  Three mainsystems where magnesium matters the most: (1) bone health; (2) nerve transmission; (3) glucose control &amp; insulin metabolism“The extent to which magnesium can help in a given area, whether it be bone health…or with respect to metabolism, is largely a function of magnesium deficiency. In other words, the more deficient you are in magnesium, the more you will be helped by supplementing magnesium.” – Dr. Peter AttiaWays to measure magnesium: Commercially available plasma tests from the lab (least recommended method)Urinary test collection – the less magnesium in the urine, the more likely you are to be deficient because it means the kidneys are holding on to magnesiumLoad the patient with magnesium and measure urinary excretion (likely done only in cases of suspected renal failure)Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgView the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter’s Weekly Newsletter In this “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) episode, Peter tackles essential questions about magnesium, beginning with the important roles it plays in the body and why maintaining proper levels is crucial. Peter discusses the harms of magnesium deficiency, how to determine if you're deficient, potential causes of deficiency, and how diet and supplementation can be used to increase magnesium levels.

CryptoThe Investor's Podcast (TIP) Key Takeaways  The goal of investing is not to find people who agree with you, it is to generate good returns Monetary dilution is only possible because it is not apparent to the citizens who hold the currencyBitcoin and stablecoins go around gateways imposed by governments; they offer access to alternative currencies that are outside the control of a government that is diluting its currencyIn a world where gold could have been teleported from citizen to citizen, it would have been difficult for governments to impose fiat currencies on their citizens The current monetary system makes financial engineering more profitable than real engineering A multi-decade period of stability, with debt levels slowly rising, ironically leads to a period of instability due to the amount of leverage that has built up over time When debt gets pushed to the sovereign level, that sovereign’s currency typically serves as the relief valve, i.e. the currency gets debasedBonds will keep losing value relative to other assets because the interest rate they offer is not keeping up with the rate at which the money supply is expanding Because central banks can print an infinite amount of money, technically, there is no amount of deflation that they cannot overcome; however, the key question is what are the consequences of overcoming itAs a result of central banks printing money to override deflationary forces, rising prices are likely to manifest in areas that are not driven by tech deflation, such as blue-collar services Lyn expects to see continued de-dollarization of payment channels and more reserve diversification at the sovereign level When a country’s monetary ledger becomes destabilized, it tends to become forcibly dollarizedIt will be increasingly hard for the long tail of weaker currencies to persist because now, people have access to a global basket of other currencies and assets Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, Stig Brodersen talks with investment expert Lyn Alden about currencies, debt, inflation, and how to invest in an uncertain world.

Founders ✓ Claim What I learned from reading Ted Turner's Autobiography.----Get access to the World’s Most Valuable Notebook for Founders by investing in a subscription to Founders Notes----Listen to Art of Investing #4 David Senra Lessons from the Founder Historian. ----(9:00) My net worth dropped by about 67 million per week, or nearly 10 million per day, every day for two and a half years.(10:00) Once to drive home a point about the difficulties of attracting good loyal employees he told me: Jesus only had to pick 12 disciples and even one of those didn't turn out well.(10:00) Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell, and advertise .(11:00) Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story by Arnold Schwarzenegger. (Founders #141)(13:30) The problem isn't getting rich, it's staying sane. — Charlie Munger(17:00) I learned a lesson that would stick with me throughout my career. When the chips are down in the pressure's on it's amazing to how creative people can be.(20:00) My father always maintained many of the different billboard businesses as separate legal entities. (He didn’t want to dilute ownership of his main company and separate entities allowed for periodic reorganization to offset capital gains liabilities.(20:30) When you own an asset your job is to maximize its value.(23:00) He combines the assets he has in a way his competitors can not.(24:00) The more I learned about TV stations the more I realized that ours was a disaster. Of the 35 people who were on the payroll when we took over only two were still there a year later —the custodian and the receptionist.(25:00) Ted Turner believed in the power of television more than almost anybody else.(30:30) My dad taught me early on that longterm relationships with your customers and partners are very important. You never know how the guy who you're friendly with today might be able to help you tomorrow.(31:00) Cable Cowboy: John Malone and the Rise of the Modern Cable Business by Mark Robichaux. (Founders #268)(32:00) What other people in his industry sees as a threat, Ted sees as an opportunity.(37:00) These issues were all unchartered territory. All of us, the regulators, the broadcasters, the program suppliers and the leagues were sorting things out on the fly. I was working as hard as I could. I'd go all out during the day, working on sales, distribution, regulatory issues, whatever the battle happened to be, and I'd worked right up until it was time to fall asleep. I had a pull down Murphy bed in my office and I would literally work until the point of total exhaustion. Then I'd put my head on the pillow at night worried about problems. Then I'd wake up and spend the entire next day trying to solve them.(44:00) One of the most important ideas in the book is the power of Belief: Clearly the company for whom the economics of 24 hour news would have made the most sense with a big three broadcasters. They already had most of what was needed: studios, bureaus, reporters, anchors. They had everything but a belief in cable.(45:00) I'm going to be a billionaire. And here's why. I'm going to put this station up on a satellite and I'm going to get a news thing going. Sports, movies and news, 24 hours a day, all over the world. He said this in 1976.(46:00) Henry Ford didn't need focus groups to tell him that people would prefer inexpensive, dependable automobiles over horses. Alexander Graham Bell never stopped to worry about whether people would prefer speaking to each other on a phone.(49:00) I'm always convinced that one of the reasons that I've been successful is that I've almost always competed against people who were bigger and stronger, but who had less commitment and desire than I did. For Turner Broadcasting this dispute meant everything. We had to win.(52:00) Ted’s Superstation idea is printing money: $177 million in revenue and $66 million in profit. This is in the 1980s!(53:00) It would be 13 years before we faced another 24 hour news channel.(57:00) He has a keen understanding of how to combine assets to create an advantage that no one else has.(58:00) The Gambler: How Penniless Dropout Kirk Kerkorian Became the Greatest Deal Maker in Capitalist History by William C. Rempel. (Founders #65)(58:00) Genius has the fewest moving parts. Never get into deals that are too complicated.----Get access to the World’s Most Valuable Notebook for Founders by investing in a subscription to Founders Notes----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

Econtalk Who is the greatest economist of all time? In Tyler Cowen's eclectic view, you need both breadth and depth, macro and micro. You can't have been too wrong--and you need to be mostly right. You have to have had a lasting impact, and done both theory and empirical work. If you meet all these criteria, you may just be history's greatest economist. Listen as Cowen talks about his new and freely accessible book GOAT with EconTalk's Russ Roberts. Along the way to crowning a winner, Cowen offers original insights into what shaped the theories and worldviews of the greatest economists of all time. Cowen and Roberts also talk about the evolution of economics from a field concerned mainly with ideas to one that mostly grapples with empirical challenges.

Honestly with Bari Weiss ✓ Claim Key Takeaways  “We all live in Israel now. It’s just that most of us haven’t realized it yet.” – Sam Harris  The Israel-Palestine conflict should not be confusing: Hamas took sadistic pleasure in torturing and killing non-combatants In the last 40 years, there have been 50,000 acts of Islamic terrorismThe problem of Jihadism: The triumphal belief, by some percentage of the world’s Muslims, that they must conquer the world for the one true faith, through force, and that paradise awaits anyone who would sacrifice his or her life to that endAccording to FBI statistics, though Jews are just over 2% of the population, they receive over half the hate in America, and five times the level that Muslims do“The outpouring of anti-semitism that we have witnessed since October 7th really seems to mark a new moment, both in the U.S. and globally.” – Sam Harris“The boundary between anti-Semitism and generic moral stupidity is a little hard to discern.” – Sam Harris   “Most elite circles in the West – academia, Hollywood, the media, non-profits – have been poisoned, to one degree or another, by this social justice psychosis, where imaginary harms are seized upon as though they were existential concerns and pure evil is easily shrugged off, or even celebrated as a victory.” – Sam Harris “For the jihadists, all of this sadism – the torture and murder of helpless, terrified people – is an act of worship.” – Sam Harris Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgFor today’s episode, we’re thrilled to share the most recent episode of our friend Sam Harris’s podcast, Making Sense.  Moral confusion is plaguing this moment like never before. It’s everywhere: from college campuses to congress. Sam, better than almost anyone, is able to speak to that confusion, with facts, nuance and moral clarity. Importantly, he doesn’t just visit this topic with the narrow lens of this particular war between Hamas and Israel, but with a bird’s eye view of history. But according to Sam, it’s not the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that matters so much right now, but rather the history—and enduring global problem—of jihadism. And that’s what this episode is about. The episode, aptly titled, The Bright Line Between Good and Evil, is sobering, illuminating and well worth your time. Please listen.

Tetragrammaton with Rick Rubin ✓ Claim Key Takeaways The problem is not free-market capitalism; the problem is corporate-crony capitalismRecommended reading:JFK and the Unspeakableby James Douglass“Many of the people who were involved in my uncle’s death have made confessions. Probably twenty of them” – RFK Jr.The lead investigator of the HSAC, Robert Blakey, has stated that he believes there was CIA involvement in the death of President Kennedy “Fiat currency was invented to fund war.” – RFK Jr. Freedom of speech becomes irrelevant if a government can starve you to death The medical-industrial complex is enabled by agency capture: the regulator becomes a “sock puppet” for the industry he is supposed to regulateOperation Paperclip was the CIA’s first mission; it involved the smuggling of Nazi scientists out of Germany to escape the Nuremberg trials so that they could go to work for the United States In the decades that followed, these scientists conducted all types of experiments in the U.S., including MK-Ultra and other mind-control experiments Some of the experiments conducted by Operation Paperclip scientists included open-air dosing of American cities, airports, and subway systemsIn response to President Obama shutting down his projects, Anthony Fauci relocated his gain-of-function research operation to Wuhan Chronic disease is the problem in America, not an infectious disease“Once I’m sure of a choice, I do it without regret.” – Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgRobert F. Kennedy Jr and Dr. Jack Kruse join Tetragrammaton to talk about water pollution, corruption vs. capitalism, spirituality, running for office, the privatization of natural resources, the death of Robert’s uncle John F. Kennedy, the history of SV-40, the medical industrial complex, the Monsanto trial, the chronic disease epidemic, and some of the things Robert would do as President.  Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is an environmental attorney, activist, founder of the Children’s Health Defense, the author of The Real Anthony Fauci (All proceeds of his book go to the Children’s Health Defense), and a 2024 candidate for the office of The President of the United States. Dr. Jack Kruse is a neurosurgeon who had an awakening in 2007 when he suffered a torn meniscus in his knee at 6’2”, 357 lbs. This led to his further study of physics, light, magnetism, and electricity. He ultimately concluded that modern medicine lacked a deep understanding of how humans function in relation to the natural world. He published his first book titled Epi-Paleo Rx: The Prescription for Disease Reversal and Optimal Health in 2013. In addition to being a neurosurgeon and author, Kruse is CEO of Kruse Longevity Center, a health and wellness company dedicated to helping patients avoid the healthcare burdens typically encountered with age. ------ Thank you to the sponsors that fuel our podcast and our team: Squarespace https://squarespace.com/tetra ------ LMNT Electrolytes https://drinklmnt.com/tetra ------ House of Macadamias https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/tetra ------ Ancestral Supplements https://ancestralsupplements.com Use code TETRA

Econtalk Loss of taste for most foods, vision problems, loss of muscle mass and bone density. In light of these and the many unpleasant our outright dangerous effects of space travel on human physiology, science writer and cartoonist Zach Weinersmith wonders: When it comes to the dream of space expansion, what exactly do we hope to gain? Listen as he and EconTalk's Russ Roberts discuss his new book (co-authored with Kelly Weinersmith) A City on Mars, which offers a hard-nosed yet humorous look at the sobering and lesser-discussed challenges involved in building space settlements. Topics include the particular problems posed by the moon and Mars's atmospheres; the potential difficulty of reproducing in zero gravity; and the dangerous tendency to overlook a key factor in whether space settlement is a good idea: the fact that people are people, wherever they may be.

The Danny Miranda Podcast Key Takeaways The purpose of meditation for Robert Greene was not to renounce worldly ambitions but to find self-awareness and connect ambitions to his true selfLessons from 12+ years of meditation:Robert’s meditation practice involves daily sessions of Zen meditation, sitting for 35-45 minutes in complete silenceMeditation is a source of creativity as it taps into his unconscious and brings forth new and unexplored ideasThe mind becomes like an empty, blue sky—free from hindrances and fixed ideas—through meditationHe emphasizes the importance of connecting ambition to something deep within oneself, rather than pursuing empty or external goalsThose who constantly seek distractions instead of facing boredom weaken their ability to handle resistanceWriters in their 20s often make the following mistakes:Poor punctuation, spelling, and grammar skillsUnderestimating the importance of writing as a skillAssuming that writing doesn’t require effort or practiceFocusing on their ego rather than effective communicationUsing clever phrases and puns without conveying meaningful contentWriting is not about self-expression but about communicating effectively with othersDeveloping empathy involves redirecting narcissism and self-love toward others and being genuinely interested in understanding their perspectivesReading people’s emotions and moods, rather than trying to read their minds, is crucial in understanding and connecting with themThose who have a clear sense of their unique destiny from an early age tend to have more success and power in lifeSuccess, for Robert, is the feeling of freedom where he doesn’t have bosses, people pressuring him, or limitations on what he can write aboutThe experience of being in a coma, waking up, and realizing how close he came to death made death more than just an intellectual idea—it became a physical presenceHe always prioritized gaining life experiences and finding things interesting over monetary considerations“The 48 Laws of Power” continues to sell well because it transcends specific periods and remains applicable to the current power dynamics, especially with the rise of social media and the internetHe does not aim to create sequels or repeat past successes for the sake of making money but instead focuses on exploring new areas and ideasRobert is currently working on a book about the sublime, which builds upon the final chapter of “The Laws of Human Nature” and “The 50th Law” (co-authored with 50 Cent) that touched on the subjectRobert suggests a challenge for listeners to spend five minutes every day questioning thoughts, feelings, desires, and motivations instead of assuming that everything is knownRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgRobert Greene is a writer.

A16z Podcast Key Takeaways Marc Andreessen’s article, “Why AI Will Save the World,” dispels AI hysteria and emphasizes its transformative potentialMarc is worried about the public conversation on AI, which includes a mix of legitimate questions, explanations, and hysterical emotionsHe is also worried about certain individuals or groups trying to exploit the situation by seeking regulatory capture and stifling innovation and startupsMartin asks about the class of problems that AI is now good at compared to the past: Marc points out two key factors: the scale of training data, made possible by internet-scale data collection, and the increase in compute power, particularly with GPUsHe emphasizes the role of quantity in achieving quality in AI systemsMarc emphasizes that although the initial focus of GPT-4 may lean towards leisure and utility uses, he has always believed in the significance of technology being user-friendly and enjoyable“The actual experience of using these systems today is it’s actually a lot more like love, right? And I’m not saying that they literally are conscious that they love you, but like, or maybe the analogy would almost be more like a puppy. Like they’re like really smart puppies, right?” – Marc AndreessenTraditional adoption pattern: Government -&gt; Big companies -&gt; Small businesses -&gt; IndividualsShift in adoption pattern: Consumers -&gt; Small businesses -&gt; Big companies -&gt; GovernmentBenefits of the current adoption pattern:Faster access to new technologies for everyoneMass market evaluation of technologies before government and big business decisionsIncreased individual autonomy and agency in technology adoptionConcerns and arguments regarding correctness and adoption:Fear of incorrect or unpredictable outputs from AI systems Potential misuse by criminalsTwo biggest commercial opportunities in recent times: “Those are trillion-dollar prizes, right? Whoever figures out how to fix those problems [correctness and security] has the ability potentially to build a company worth a trillion dollars, to make this technology generally useful in a way where it’s guaranteed to always be correct or guaranteed to always be secure.” – Marc AndreessenExample of correctness approach using ChatGPT and Wolfram Alpha plugin:Install the Wolfram Alpha plugin to cross-check math and science statementsWolfram Alpha acts as a deterministic calculatorHybrid architecture combining a deterministic calculator with a creative AI systemThere is a misconception of AI replacing top artists or creators; the focus should be on augmenting their abilitiesAddressing concerns about AI replacing human labor:Technological advancements enhance the productivity rateExponential productivity ramp leads to price crash and near-zero cost for products/servicesMarc is dismissive of concerns that AI will eliminate work and worsen human well-beingSocial reform movements have two sides: True believers: represented by the Baptists, they advocate for social improvement by banning alcohol (as in the analogy of prohibition used by Marc to explain the AI reform phenomenon)Opportunistic beneficiaries: represented by bootleggers, they financially benefit from the illegal trade of alcohol and take advantage of the laws and regulations passed by the reform movement to establish their businessesIn modern times, bootleggers are legitimate business people seeking government protection from competition, aiming to form monopolies or cartels and create regulatory structures that prevent new competitionGeopolitical implications of AI and concerns regarding China’s ambitions: Focus on the Chinese Communist Party and regime, not the people of ChinaChina’s 2025 plan and speeches by Xi Jinping outline their goal of developing AI for population control and surveillanceTwo-stage plan: Implement authoritarian AI control within China, then spread it globallyThe worst-case scenario involves China’s vision spreading across Asia, Europe, South America, and potentially the rest of the worldThe doomsday scenarios presented by AI critics are far-fetched and divorced from the reality of AI technologyThe claim that AI will lead to crippling inequality is a misinterpretation of how the economy and self-interest workRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgThis week, a16z’s own cofounder Marc Andreessen published a nearly 7,000-word article that aimed to dispel fears over AI's risks to our humanity – both real and imagined. Instead, Marc elaborates on how AI can "make everything we care about better." In this timely one-on-one conversation with a16z General Partner Martin Casado, Marc discusses how this technology will maximize human potential, why the future of AI should be decided by the free market, and most importantly, why AI won’t destroy the world.

It's too easy, as a team grows, to put up with a few B players, and they then attract a few more B players, and soon you will even have some C players.

Read more hereRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, I discuss Methyl​enedioxy​methamphetamine (MDMA), which is also commonly known as “ecstasy” or “molly,” including how it works in the brain to cause short- and long- term-shifts in emotional processing and its clinical applications for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), alcohol and other substance-use addictions. I discuss the neuronal mechanisms for how MDMA elevates mood, empathy, motivation, social engagement, and empathy, and reduces “threat detection” and how these effects can synergistically support talk therapy. I also explain the ongoing debate about the potential neurotoxicity of MDMA, myths about the origins and treatments for post-MDMA “crash,” the evolving legal landscape around MDMA use for clinical purposes, and I caution recreational users about the extremely dangerous additives (e.g., fentanyl) now commonly found in black market MDMA. This should be of interest to those curious about MDMA, neuropharmacology, the origins of emotional processing in the brain, empathy, PTDS, neuroplasticity, mental health and psychiatry.

Infinite Loops Key Takeaways  Hypnosis has a way of effectively communicating with the self-conscious and is the most efficient way to upgrade the mental software that we all have   The hypnotic state is a state of accelerated learning or relaxed focused attention where a person is more suggestible, which means it is easier for them to change the way they think or feel about something Hypnosis is not widely used due to misconceptions, lack of public awareness, and lack of consistent training standards It is more profitable to treat symptoms than to treat root causes; this creates perverse incentives for the healthcare industry  The subconscious mind is more likely to absorb negative suggestions than positive suggestions Secondary gains can obstruct progress, meaning the person gets a benefit from having the problem so they subconsciously sabotage their efforts to resolve it One of the most effective ways to change the behavior is to change the way they think about it “World peace starts with inner peace. If you want to make the world a better place, you got to make yourself a better place.” – Todd Goodwin Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgTodd Goodwin is the founder of Goodwin Hypnosis, a hypnosis center based in North Carolina.

Huberman Lab Key Takeaways “Psychedelics seem to give people access to a better version of self.” – Dr. Andrew HubermanPossibly in part because of ego dissolution properties of psychedelics (versus ego inflation properties of drugs like cocaine)Psychedelics can reveal something about the mind that can’t be revealed otherwise – maybe because it’s masked, unconscious, or below the threshold of awarenessPsilocybin changes the brain in a way that allows new ideas and new forms of learning to occurMore classic psychedelics like psilocybin allow you to dive deeper into the uncomfortable in a way that MDMA does not MDMA is a strong empathogen for self and othersThe setting plays a huge role in the outcomes of psychedelic studies; features include: strategic music, eye mask, 2 non-using professionals + 1 client/patient, 1-3 sessions spread across a few weeks, integration with psychotherapy (talk therapy)Despite the massive attention it’s gotten, the evidence doesn’t currently support any benefits of microdosing – just macrodosing under clinical supervisionThe psychedelic renaissance has come a long way! From fringe science and taboo culture to a huge draw for donors and openly discussed and researched in academic settingsRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, my guest is Robin Carhart-Harris, PhD, distinguished professor of neurology and psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco. He is one of leading researchers in the study of how psychedelics such as psilocybin, LSD and DMT can change the human brain and in doing so, be used to successfully treat various mental health challenges such as major depression, anorexia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and addiction. He explains how psilocybin induces sustained changes in adaptive brain wiring and cognition. We discuss the key components of safe and effective psychedelic journeys, the role of hallucinations, the use of eye-masks to encourage people to “go internal,” and music, as well as what effective therapist support consists of before, during and after the session (also known as integration). We discuss micodosing vs. macrodosing and how researchers control for placebo effects in psychedelic research. We also discuss the current legal landscape around psychedelic therapies. Psychedelic therapies are fast emerging as powerful and soon-to-be mainstream treatments for medical health disorders, but they are not without their risks. As such, this episode ought to be of use to anyone interested in brain plasticity, mental health, psychology or neuroscience. For the full show notes, visit hubermanlab.com.

Huberman Lab Key Takeaways Any cold exposure to the skin that you register as jarring or uncomfortable activates brown fat, increasing metabolismTip: don’t worry so much about the specific temperature, think more about the difference in temperature between your skin and the waterAfter drop: blood vessels constrict in the cold to keep organs healthy; once you get out of the cold, blood vessels dilate again but the surface is still cold so core body temperature drops and induces a shiverCycling heat and cold? End on cold for best results“Cold is the most potent stressor activator of brown fat.” – Dr. Susanna SøbergPeople who work outside (e.g., farmers) or were more active earlier in life will maintain higher levels of brown fat after age 40Long-term benefits of deliberate cold exposure: lower blood pressure, improve insulin sensitivity, improve metabolism, improve heart rate, better glucose balanceCold &amp; heat dose for optimal results: cold exposure 11 minutes per week, spread out across 2-3 sessions + 10-15 minutes per session (up to 30 minutes per week) The goal is to keep the stimulus, a stimulus – you don’t want to build up the ability to hang out in cold for 11 minutes or sauna for an hourThere is a tipping point at which a good, hormetic stressor can feel like chronic stress to the body and you no longer receive additional healthy outcomesTrouble tolerating cold exposure? You will still get all the benefits if you leave your hands out of the water, wear a cap and submerge up to the neck, and/or wear booties on your feetRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, my guest is Susanna Søberg, PhD. She earned her doctoral degree at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, researching the effects of deliberate cold and deliberate heat exposure on metabolism and other aspects of human physiology. We discuss how cold or sauna can improve metabolism, cardiovascular and brain health, balance hormones, and decrease inflammation. Dr. Søberg discusses how deliberate cold protocols can improve glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity and trigger release of neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine which enhance energy, mood, and focus. We compare cold showers and cold immersion, traditional and infrared saunas, and other variables. This episode provides actionable tools and answers to common questions about the use of deliberate cold and heat to improve health. For the full show notes, visit hubermanlab.com.

Art of Manliness Key Takeaways  There are 63 national parks, but there are 424 national park sitesThe most crowded time of the year is when every kid in the country is out of school; it is especially busy in the first few weeks of summer vacation Months in advance, check if the park you plan to visit has a reservation system There are only five parks that require a reservation to get into the park; however, most all require a reservation for campingPeople will get their entire family on computers to sit there are refresh the park’s website hoping that one of them is lucky enough to get access to a reservation “The single most important thing that we tell everybody is to get up early.” – Jeremy Puglisi Yellowstone is a driving park more than it is a hiking park; it is a touring parkJeremy’s favorite national park in Olympic National Park in Washington state and his favorite state park is Assateague in MarylandJeremy and Brett liked Grand Teton more than Yellowstone Some of the best state parks: Custer State Park in South Dakota, Adirondack Park in New York State, Assateague State Park in Maryland, Snow Canyon State Park in Utah, and Jack London State Park in CaliforniaNationally overlooked parks in the East: Acadia in Maine, Cape Cod national seashore in Massachusetts, Shenandoah in Virginia, New River Gorge in West Virginia, and Cape Hatteras national seashore in North Carolina The most popular parks, such as Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon, will be less busy during the shoulder months (March-April and September)      Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgAmerica’s national parks are one of the country’s greatest treasures, and many people have it on their bucket list to visit one or more of these gems.

Art of Manliness Key Takeaways  Low testosterone is often best treated if 1) you have symptoms and 2) have a testosterone level below 400Testosterone levels can vary depending on the quality of your recent sleep and diet Symptoms of low testosterone: depression, anxiety, low libido, erectile dysfunction, low sperm productionPeople who are significantly hypogonadal for a long time are at a much higher risk for osteoporosis, neurodegenerative disease, cardiovascular disease, and others Metabolic syndrome is the most common cause of low testosteroneObstructive sleep apnea is the second most common cause of low TFor most men, an optimal testosterone number is between 500 and as high as you can go naturallyHow to improve T: get better and more sleep, improve your diet, manage stress, drink less alcohol, etc. Improving these behaviors will make you more insulin sensitive (which is a good thing) Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is an option when the benefits of increasing T outweigh the risks of remaining at low levels of T, and when the patient understands the risks and the benefits of the therapySupplements mentioned by Dr. Kelly Gillett for testosterone optimization:Creatine,L-Carnitine, Calcium D-Glucarate, andTongkat Ali Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgWhen men think about optimizing their hormones, they tend only to think about raising their testosterone. But while increasing T can be important, an ideal health profile also means having testosterone that's in balance with your other hormones as well.Today on the show, Dr. Kyle Gillett joins me to discuss both of those prongs of all-around hormone optimization. We start with a quick overview of the different hormones that affect male health. We then get into what qualifies as low testosterone and how to accurately test yours. We also discuss what causes low testosterone in individual men, and how its decline in the general male population may be linked to both birth control and the world wars. In the second half of our conversation, we discuss how to both raise testosterone and get rid of excess estrogen, including the use of some effective supplements you may never have heard of. We then get into the risks and benefits of taking TRT, before ending our discussion with what young men can do to prepare for a lifetime of optimal T and hormonal health.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM series on testosterone, including How I Doubled My Testosterone Levels NaturallyAoM Podcast #761: How Testosterone Makes Men, MenAoM Podcast #878: The Fitness Supplements That Actually Work Connect With Dr. Kyle GillettKyle on IGGillett Health Podcast on Spotify and AppleGillett Health on YouTubeGillett Health website

Huberman Lab Key Takeaways Psilocybin’s main effect is to mimic serotonin in a very specific way, leading to neuroplasticityThe goal of psilocybin is the adaptive rewiring of the brain, not just rewiring of the brain – you want to rewire that leads to new and interesting ideasClinical trials using psilocybin for the treatment of depression are outperforming standard therapy and SSRIs (and other antidepressants) A combination of psilocybin + talk therapy shows evidence of the strongest long-lasting resultsPsilocybin increases communication across the brain and reduces the hierarchical organization of the brain, broadening the flow of information (including interoception and exteroception)“During the psilocybin journey, people have the opportunity to learn new relationships between different sensory and emotional states. Those new relationships seem to persist long after the psychedelic journey is finished.” – Dr. Andrew HubermanBest practices for an effective guided psilocybin journey: Sit or lie down comfortably with eyes closed or an eye maskMusic is critical to the experience1 or more people present should not be on psilocybinNo food at least 4 hours prior to the journeyKey features of the trip from those who experience positive results: a sense of unity, sense of spirituality, sense of bliss at some point during the experience, insight, and learning about one’s lifeCurrent clinical studies and areas of promise for psilocybin use: treatment resistance depression, cancer-related depression, and anxiety Newer studies are exploring use for alcohol abuse, tobacco addiction, OCD, and moreRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, I discuss what psilocybin is (chemically) and how it works at the cellular and neural circuit level to trigger neuroplasticity, which is our brain’s ability to rewire itself in ways that lead to long-lasting shifts in our emotional, cognitive and behavioral patterns and abilities. I discuss the emerging clinical trial evidence for the use of psilocybin in the treatment of depression, addictions and other psychiatric challenges. I explain the typical duration and phases of a psilocybin journey, the different categories of dosages often used and I explain the importance of set, setting and support when using psychedelics. I explain which groups of people place themselves at great risk by taking psilocybin as well as groups that could benefit, and I highlight the rapidly changing legal and medical landscape around psilocybin. This episode is a thorough exploration of psilocybin from the scientific and clinical literature perspective and ought to be of interest to anyone curious about psilocybin, mental health, neuroplasticity and/or psychedelics more generally.

It is from the past that he will draw his lessons in order to shape the present.[5:15] Destiny must be fulfilled. That is my chief doctrine.[6:05] Napoleon: A Concise Biography by David Bell (Founders #294)[9:25] To aim at world empire seemed to Napoleon a most natural thing.[10:00] To have lived without glory, without leaving a trace of one's existence, is not to have lived at all.[10:55] The greatest improvisation of the human mind is that which gives existence to the nonexistent.[11:45] The best way to understand a person is to listen to that person directly. —  Make Something Wonderful: Steve Jobs in his own words (Founders #299)[12:55] The great majority of men attend to what is necessary only when they feel a need for it—the precise time when it is too late.[16:10] The worst way to live according to Napoleon:When on rising from sleep a man does not know what to do with himself and drags his tedious existence from place to place; when, scanning his future, he sees nothing but dreadful monotony, one day resembling the next; when he asks himself, "Why do I exist?”—then, in my opinion, he is the most wretched of all.[17:45] Instead his (Steve Jobs) ego needs and personal drives led him to seek fulfillment by creating a legacy that would awe people. A dual legacy, actually: building innovative products and building a lasting company. He wanted to be in the pantheon with, indeed a notch above, people like Edwin Land, Bill Hewlett, and David Packard. — Steve Jobs: The Exclusive Biography by Walter Isaacson. (Founders #214)[19:15] He must know himself. Until then, all endeavors are in vain, all schemes collapse.[20:15] Napoleon on George Washington: Britain refused to acknowledge either him or the independence of his country; but his success obliged them to change their minds and acknowledge both. It is success which makes the great man.[21:15] Washington saw the conflict as a struggle for power in which the colonists, if victorious, destroyed British pretentions of superiority and won control over half of a continent. — Franklin & Washington: The Founding Partnershipby Edward Larson. (Founders #251)[23:15] If you do everything you will win: All great events hang by a single thread.

And to get all the way to the top you probably had to sacrifice everything to the effort. The meta lesson is if you are not willing to pay that price presume someone else will.If you want something like the presidency (or being a billionaire) you should presume there is someone out there who will devote all their time, money, relationships, sense of ethics, everything in sacrifice of that one goal.

One of the biggest areas of change is the dramatic increase in sugar consumption. But are our bodies adapted to eating such high sugar, processed foods? What are the health effects connected to this way of eating? And, writ large, how does our metabolic dysfunction as individuals contribute to the energy hungry global Superorganism? What are the systemic drivers that currently prevent a shift towards healthier food systems? Can changing how we eat make us healthier - and thus better equipped to face the complex challenges of the metacrisis? About Robert Lustig: Robert H. Lustig, M.D., M.S.L. is Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology, and Member of the Institute for Health Policy Studies at UCSF. Dr. Lustig is a neuroendocrinologist, with expertise in metabolism, obesity, and nutrition. He is one of the leaders of the current “anti-sugar” movement that is changing the food industry. He has dedicated his retirement from clinical medicine to help to fix the food supply any way he can, to reduce human suffering and to salvage the environment. Dr. Lustig graduated from MIT in 1976, and received his M.D. from Cornell University Medical College in 1980. He also received his Masters of Studies in Law (MSL) degree at University of California, Hastings College of the Law in 2013. He is the author of the popular books Fat Chance (2012), The Hacking of the American Mind (2017), and Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine (2021).

Stuff You Should Know✓Claim Key Takeaways  While every manhunt is unique, there are some principles that hold true for all manhunts Law enforcement typically gets the public involved as soon as possible Generally, authorities will establish a containment zone, then conduct a door-to-door search, then shut down public forms of transportation, schools, businesses, etc. The man who killed Martin Luther King Jr. was an escapee from a Missouri prison; following the assassination, he made his way to Canada using a forged passport, then to Portugal, and eventually to the UK where he was finally apprehended Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, was on the run for 18 years before his brother identified his writing style in his manifesto and alerted the authorities Whitey Bulger was on the run for 16 years before a woman working at a hair salon recognized his girlfriend from an FBI-sponsored commercial and tipped off the police There are many loopholes that law enforcement can use during manhunts Crowd-sourced manhunts are becoming increasingly popular given the rise of social media and the online types obsessed with true crime Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgWhen a suspect or prisoner goes on the lam there are plenty of ways to hide: in plain sight, in the mountains, in another country. There are as many types of ways law enforcement uses to track wanted people as their are ways to go on the lam, but there are some founding principles to carrying out a successful manhunt and they actually include you.

Huberman Lab Introduction View things close up (a few inches to 2 feet away) and far away (4-8 feet away) throughout the day – we spend a lot of time only looking at things close up (i.e., on our phones) Near-sightedness is increasing at record rates as a resultThe length of the eyeball and movement of the lens is influenced by how close or far we view things, especially during the development If you only look at things close up, the image lands too close to the lens and leads to nearsightednessStudies have shown kids develop myopia if they look at screens too much during developmentTip #1: spend time daily visually scanning at a distance, or walking and not looking at anything in particular – the general rule of thumb: for every hour you spend looking at things 3 ft away or less, get at least an hour per day looking at things further awayTip #2: time outside per day in sunlight (ideally 2 hours per day) leads to a lower incidence of myopia, particularly in children Time in sunlight doesn’t have to be free of screens or work, just time in sunlight or opening a window to get natural light exposureTip #3: check out the smooth pursuit visual tasks or near-far vision exercises to offset or reverse vision lossNutrition and supplements for eye health: get enough vitamin A in the purest food form (found in leafy greens, liver, etc.), lutein from food sources (such as eggs) may help protect against age-related macular degenerationThere are people who swear by reducing reliance on corrective lenses and working on eye health exercises to improve vision   Red light research: exposure to red light (650-720 nm range) early in the day (1-3 minutes) can offset some age-related vision declineRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgWelcome to a preview of the sixth Ask Me Anything (AMA) episode, part of the Huberman Lab Premium subscription.

Huberman Lab Key Takeaways The human sense of smell is innately extremely sensitive and can be trained to be even more sensitive, especially in the absence of other senses (like vision or hearing)Every time you meet someone you are taking chemicals from that person and applying it to your own body to process information about that person – this may explain why some people become “fast friends” or click right awayIf you lose your sense of smell for 1-1.5 years, it’s unlikely you’ll ever get it back; it’s a ‘use it or lose it’ systemLoss of smell is an early indicator of neurological degeneration and diseaseWe’re constantly shifting our nasal cycle AKA which nostril we use most through a mechanism driven by the sympathetic/parasympathetic nervous systemInformation processing &amp; cognition is linked to our olfactory systemWe are always sensing our own odor clouds to change our cognition and behavior – whether you realize it or notIn our most basic behaviors, we follow our nose not our eyes: if a food is visually appealing but smells bad, we are less likely to eat it; we’ll be more attracted to a romantic partner who smells pleasant regardless of looks versus a potential partner who looks nice but smells badThe future of digitized olfaction may be used in medical diagnoses (but nowhere in the near future)Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, my guest is Noam Sobel, PhD, professor of neurobiology in the department of brain sciences at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Dr. Sobel explains his lab’s research on the biological mechanisms of smell (“olfaction”) and how sensing odorants and chemicals in our environment impacts human behavior, cognition, social connections, and hormones. He explains how smell is a crucial component of “social sensing” and how we use olfaction when meeting new people to determine things about their physiology and psychology, and he explains how this impacts friendships and romantic partners. He explains how smell influences emotions, hormone levels, memories and the relationship between breathing and autonomic homeostasis. He describes how smell-based screening tests can aid disease diagnosis and explains his lab’s work on digitization of smell — which may soon allow online communication to include “sending of odors” via the internet. Dr. Sobel’s work illustrates how sensitive human olfaction is and how it drives much of our biology and behavior. For the full show notes, visit hubermanlab.com.

My First Million Key Takeaways  Martin Shkreli worked for Jim Cramer’s hedge fund when he was in high school Martin became a millionaire at the age of 29 when he took his pharma company public “PubMed is the government database of all scholastic biomedical literature – so 36 million papers. If you sit there long enough and you have the passion, you can become a billionaire.” – Martin Shkreli It is not a crime to choose the price of your product He was bothered by the politicians trying to take the right away from entrepreneurs to set the price of their products, what he calls “regulation by embarrassment” If the regulators can tell Martin Shkreli what the price of his product should be, what is stopping them from setting the price of the iPhone? How much should a drug cost if it prevents the need for getting a $1 million surgery?After raising the price of the drug, there were zero patients that were unable to get the drug He hoped his casualness would encourage them to do some research and find out that no one (other than the insurance companies) were affected by the price increase Modern CEOs are not allowed to have a real personality: no one in the corporate world is allowed to have an opinion because it might be held against them or their companyMagic happens when you provide capital to great people with great assetsHealthcare is more expensive than we’d like mostly because of the artificially constrained supply of healthcare professionals, according to Martin Shkreli  Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgEpisode 445: Shaan Puri (@ShaanVP) and Sam Parr (@TheSamParr) talk with Martin Shkreli (@marty_catboy), aka &quot;the most hated man in America&quot;, about how he got started in pharma, his logic behind raising the price of Daraprim, why he spent time in prison, and what business he&#39;s starting now.

Huberman Lab Key Takeaways Mental training and visualization is best used to enhance speed and accuracy of a skill you already have some proficiency at, not necessarily for learning new things“Mental training and visualization cannot replace execution of real world cognitive or motor tasks you want to learn…but is effective in enhancing the speed at which you learn and the stability of that learning over time.” – Dr. Andrew HubermanPrinciples of mental visualization:(1) mental visualization needs to be brief (15-20 sec) and repeated;(2) mental visualization needs to be combined with real world experience;(3) mental training needs to be similar to real world experience;(4) naming and giving identity to real world skill and applying the same name to visualization enhances learning;(5) it takes longer to perform complex motor sequences in mental training and visualization just like it would in the real worldChoosing between real world training and mental training: real world training is better than mental training; mental training is better than no training; but ideally – you’ll use mental training to augment real world training and improve speed, accuracy, and consistencyMental training can also be used to get you to stop or ‘no go’ components of motor learning, like restricting inappropriate movements or thoughts (e.g., withholding inappropriate action or action sequence) For this training, it’s especially important to perform mental training and real world training in combinationRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, I explore the science of mental visualization and its application for learning motor and cognitive skills. I discuss neuroplasticity-based skill development and the roles of focus, sleep, movement restriction, and agitation. I then present five key principles of mental visualization to enhance learning speed, accuracy, and consistency. I also provide examples of specific protocols, including repetitions, rest periods, and session frequency, and how to adapt these methods for injuries or breaks from traditional training. Throughout, I reference the scientific studies supporting these concepts. This episode should allow anyone to learn or teach more effectively through the use of mental visualization and training.

That is how I make a living and they are what have made my name at least familiar in a million homes.[11:00] Isambard Kingdom Brunel: The Definitive Biography of The Engineer, Visionary, and Great Briton by L.T.C. Rolt. (Founders #201)[13:10] After the idea there is plenty of time to learn the technology. My first cyclonic vacuum cleaner was built out of cereal packets and masking tape long before I understood how it worked.[14:15] Difference for the sake of it. In everything. Because it must be better. From the moment the idea strikes, to the running of the business. Difference, and retention of total control.[18:00] I would not be dragged into something I didn't want to do.[22:40] They were all running round and round the track like a herd of sheep and not getting any quicker. Difference itself was making me come in first.[23:34] As I grew more and more neurotic about being caught from behind I trained harder to stay in front. To this day it is the fear of failure, more than anything else, which makes me keep working at success.[27:20] Isambard Kingdom Brunel was unable to think small, and nothing was a barrier to him. The mere fact that something had never been one before presented, to Brunel, no suggestion that the doing of it was impossible.He was fired by an inner strength and self-belief almost impossible to imagine in this feckless age.While I could never lay claim to the genius of a man like that —I have tried to be as confident in my vision as he was.And at times in my life when I have encountered difficulty and self-doubt I have looked to his example to fire me on.[30:33] The vision of a single man pursued with dogged determination that was nothing less than obsession.[36:30] The root principle was to do things your way. It didn't matter how other people did it.[41:38] You simply cannot mix your messages when selling something new. A consumer can barely handle one great new idea, let alone two, or even several.[49:30] A direct relationship with the customer is the holy grail. Do not abandon it.[52:00] One of the strains of this book is about control. If you have the intimate knowledge of a product that comes with dreaming it up and then designing it, I have been trying to say, then you will be the better able to sell it and then, reciprocally, to go back to it and improve it. From there you are in the best possible position to convince others of its greatness and to inspire others to give their very best efforts to developing it, and to remain true to it, and to see it through all the way to its optimum point. To total fruition, if you like.[1:02:20] Before I went into production with the dual cyclone I had built 5,127 prototypes.[1:02:30] There is no such thing as a quantum leap. There is only dogged persistence – and in the end you make it look like a quantum leap.[1:03:30] While it is easy, of course, for me to celebrate my doggedness now and say that it is all you need to succeed, the truth is that it demoralized me terribly. I would crawl into the house every night covered in dust after a long day, exhausted and depressed because that day's cyclone had not worked. There were times when I thought it would never work, that I would keep on making cyclone after cyclone, never going forwards, never going backwards, until I died.[1:06:20] I was broke, hungry and depressed. The outlook was very dreary. My doggedness and self-belief in the absence of any real evidence that they were justified was beginning to look more and more like insanity.[1:10:30] Persistent trial and error allows them to wake up one morning after many, many mornings with a world beating product.[1:13:15] I began to consider forgetting the whole thing and doing something else with my life.[1:16:00] The poor buggers were so wrong, to think that designers knew nothing about business, or about marketing, or is about selling. It is the people who make the things that understand them, and understand what the public wants.[1:21:30] Go further. There is nothing wrong with making the consumer laugh. Conventional looks do not make a product more marketable.Subscribe to listen to Founders Premium — Subscribers can ask me questions directly and listen to Ask Me Anything (AMA) episodes.----Join my free email newsletter to get my top 10 highlights from every book----I use Readwise to organize and remember everything I read. You can try Readwise for 60 days for free here.  ----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

Art of Manliness When most people think of psychopaths, they think of uniformly monstrous characters who lack empathy and conscience.But my guest says that those characteristics are just one part of the spectrum of traits that make up psychopathy, and while always having these traits turned up high is indeed bad, when employed to certain degrees in certain circumstances, they can actually be utilized for adaptive, positive ends.Kevin Dutton is a researcher of experimental psychology at Oxford and the author of The Wisdom of Psychopaths: What Saints, Spies, and Serial Killers Can Teach Us About Success. Today on the show, Kevin first defines what makes psychopaths, psychopaths, and how they differ from sociopaths. He describes how psychopathic traits can be particularly useful in some professions and which professions attract the most psychopaths. In the second half of our conversation, Kevin lays out his argument for why he thinks the Apostle Paul was a psychopath and how that’s actually what made him such an effective evangelist. At the end of our conversation, Kevin offers a test that assesses psychopathy; stay tuned to find out if I’m a psychopath and take the test yourself to see if you are.Connect With Kevin DuttonKevin on TwitterKevin on IGKevin’s website

Huberman Lab Key Takeaways Neuralink makes neural implants and delivers with a robotic insertion device that helps place tiny electrodes smaller than a human hair throughout a region of the brainNeuralink goals: Present – repair motor movement in people with spinal cord injury or paralysis using an external mouse and computer software to decode motor intentions (not connecting brain and motor movement just yet, for now, the focus is on establishing the agency in the movement of things in the world and eventually the body)Midterm – humans regaining control over some of the ways the brain goes wrong through addiction, depression, obesity, etc.Long-term – full expansion of human cognition into AI without limit, unrestricted communication (without phone), banding human minds togetherNeuroplasticity decreases with age but technology isn’t necessarily the answer here because it involves altering the entire brain whereas machines are highly specialized and focusDon’t worry about your Bluetooth headphones! It’s unlikely there’s enough energy to produce any harmAlcohol use is the most common source of brain damage many of us volunteer for – for every drink you have there is a linear increase in brain atrophy and neuron deathRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, my guest is Matthew MacDougall, MD, the head neurosurgeon at Neuralink. Dr. MacDougall trained at the University of California, San Diego and Stanford University School of Medicine and is a world expert in brain stimulation, repair and augmentation. He explains Neuralink’s mission and projects to develop and use neural implant technologies and robotics to 1) restore normal movement to paralyzed patients and those with neurodegeneration-based movement disorders (e.g., Parkinson’s, Huntington’s Disease) and to repair malfunctions of deep brain circuitry (e.g., those involved in addiction). He also discusses Neuralink’s efforts to create novel brain-machine interfaces (BMI) that enhance human learning, cognition and communication as a means to accelerate human progress. Dr. MacDougall also explains other uses of bio-integrated machines in daily life; for instance, he implanted himself with a radio chip into his hand that allows him to open specific doors, collect and store data and communicate with machines and other objects in unique ways. Listeners will learn about brain health and function through the lens of neurosurgery, neurotechnology, clinical medicine and Neuralink’s bold and unique mission.

Infinite Loops Podcast Notes Key Takeaways  Words that used to carry a certain weight are now levied all the time, and this debases their meaning The Woozle Effect: An article makes a claim without evidence, is then cited by another, which is cited by another (and so on), until the range of citations creates the impression that the claim has evidence when really all articles are citing the same uncorroborated source The Toxoplasma of Rage: Narratives that do the best in the digital age are narratives that not everybody thinks are true, but those that divide people the mostGolden Hammer: When someone, usually an intellectual who has gained a cultish following for popularizing a concept, becomes so drunk with power he thinks he can apply that concept to everything The Streisand Effect: A narrative that people are trying to suppress will eventually leak out, and it becomes even more appealing to everyone else because of the very fact that it was suppressedOur minds are configured not to argue for what is true, but for what we want to believe and what we need to believe in order to be part of the tribe Purity Spiral: Members of political tribes inevitably begin competing with their fellows to be the most ideologically pure.

Radiolab Podcast Notes Key Takeaways Sci-Hub is a library website that provides free access to millions of research papers and books, without regard to copyright It was created in 2011 by a single person named Alexandra Elbakyan All of the papers made available on Sci-Hub are copyrighted and owned, so open-sourcing them is technically illegal The four for-profit publishers that dominate the scientific journal industry are charging the scientific community to read the research that was conducted by the scientific communityAt its peak, Sci-Hub hosted over 90% of every scientific article that was ever published The publishes have sued Alexandra Elbakyan for violating copyright laws, claiming that she broke the law by distributing material that she did not have the legal right to distributeShe did not show up for the trial and became famous for not showing up to subsequent hearings and trials “Maybe I was a little bit naive. But I thought the app [was] going to overthrow academic publishing and the corporatized system.” – Alexandra Elbakyan She is involved in an ongoing copyright case in India, which she has chosen to participate in because she believes she has a higher chance of winning As part of an agreement, new uploads to Sci-Hub have been paused until a verdict is reached (they have now been paused since 2020) However, the scientific journal industry is changing and shifting more toward the open-access model By 2026, every paper that gets federal funding will be made immediately free for all to readSci-Hub may be losing the battle, but open access is winning the warRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.org&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;How much does knowledge cost? While that sounds like an abstract question, the answer is surprisingly specific: $3,096,988,440.00. That’s how much the business of publishing scientific and academic research is worth. &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;This is the story of one woman’s battle against a global network of academic journals that underlie published scientific research. In 2011, Alexandra Elbakyan had just moved home to Kazakhstan after a disappointing few years trying to study neuroscience in the United States when she landed on an internet forum where a bunch of scientists were all looking for the same thing: access to academic journal articles that were behind paywalls. That’s the moment the very simple, but enormously powerful, website called Sci Hub was born. &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;The site holds over 88 million articles and serves up about a million downloads to people in practically every country on the globe. We travel to Kazakhstan to meet the mysterious woman behind it all and to find out what it takes to make everything we know about anything available to anyone anywhere, for free.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Special thanks to&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Vrindra Bhandari, Balázs Bodó, Stephen Buranyi, Ian Graber-Stiehl, Joel Joseph, Noorain Khalifa, Aparajita Lath, Steve McLaughlin, Marcia McNutt, Randy Scheckman Tanmay Singh, Deborah Harkness, Joe Karaganis, Lawrence Lessig, Glyn Moody, and Steven Press.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Episode Credits:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;Reported by - Eli Cohen&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;Reporting help from - Karishma Mehrotra, Emily Krumberger and Norihelys Ramos&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;Produced by Simon Adler&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;with help from - Eli Cohen&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;Original music and sound designed by - Simon Adler&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;Mixing by - Jeremy Bloom&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;Edited by - Alex Neason&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;Our newsletter comes out every Wednesday.

Modern Wisdom Podcast Notes Key Takeaways  People live out all of the potential downsides in the mere reflection of what other people will think about them in the future, should they failShame only exists in the shadows; identify when you have the hesitation to confront something and ask yourself why you may be experiencing that hesitationThe difference between successful people and the most successful people is that the most successful people say no to almost everything Success comes down to doing the obvious thing for an extraordinary period of time without convincing yourself that you are smarter than you are The first step to achieving a massive dream is conquering tiny impulses Opportunities only look like opportunities in the rear-view mirror; today, they only seem like risk Most of the pain that people experience is purely in their own mindsThere is always someone who has had it worse and has done it better Power follows the blame finger: you give power to wherever you point the blame toPain moves people far more effectively than pleasure doesWe commonly sacrifice the thing we want for the thing that is supposed to get it  Three most common traits that hyper-successful people have: a superiority complex, insecurity, and impulse control What is the thing that you can do longer than anyone else where to them it looks like work, and to you, feels like play? Constantly ask yourself: “What are we optimizing for?”Try to be directionally correct instead of trying to be absolutely correct    Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgAlex Hormozi is a founder, investor and an author.

Huberman Lab Podcast Notes Key Takeaways Different hairs on your body have different lengths of growth phases (for example, hair on the head will grow for 2-8 years, and hair on the eyebrows will fall out every few months) The rate of hair growth is relatively stable across hair – what differs is the length of the growth phaseMicroneedling procedures, PRP injections, and Minoxidil all center around the general idea of increasing blood flow, increasing oxygen and delivery of nutrients, or increasing inflammation just enough locally to set off a cascade of regrowthCombination treatments that combine a mechanical stimulus (such as microneedling) with chemical stimulus (such as minoxidil) will always be better than either alone But be realistic, it’s unlikely to grow a full head of hair again if you are baldPeople are highly individual in response and side effects to hair growth treatments – start with minimum effective dose and be patient with experimentation timeAndrogens (especially DHT) are potent inhibitors of IGF-1 and cyclic AMP which stimulate hair growthRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, I explain the biology of hair, hair growth, why hair growth slows and what cause hair to stop growing and/or “fall out.” I discuss the essential role of hair stem cells and other supporting biological factors for healthy hair growth. Then I describe various approaches (mechanical and chemical) to slow hair loss by increasing blood flow to hair stem cells, including minoxidil, tadalafil, PRP, microneedling, Botox and ketoconazole treatments. I also discuss how age-related hormone changes cause hair loss and explain the effectiveness of treatments such as caffeine, saw palmetto, growth hormone, finasteride and dutasteride. For all hair growth options, I describe potential side effects, how soon to expect results and the amount of hair regrowth to expect and I highlight effective combination treatments for hair regrowth even in hair “dead” (bald) zones. For many listeners, thinning, brittle hair, or pattern baldness are a source of anxiety and stress. This episode explains the mechanisms underlying hair regrowth tools and the science behind them so that you can evaluate potential treatments and associated side-effect profiles and select the best one(s) for you.

Huberman Lab Podcast Notes Key Takeaways Stress and your perception of stress impact your brain and bodyManaging stress is about finding the ‘stress shields’ that fit them, feel right, and they believe – for example, breathwork, reminding yourself of past successes, distance from stress, calling on confidant, etc.Stress can lead to obesity and insulin resistance: there’s a tendency to a greater reward response from food – the more insulin resistant you are, the more your reward center lights up during stressCravings hijack the prefrontal cortex – body scan draws attention inward toward interoception and away from external stimulusAt our core, we want to know with certainty what’s going to happen and control our future – being comfortable with uncertainty is a huge stress resilience factorTips to navigate stress: journal to create a coherent narrative; practice radical acceptance, learning when to paddle and when to give into the wave; practice breathwork and body scans to increase interoception and reduce exteroception; use exercise to burn negative energy and improve stress resilienceRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, my guest is Elissa Epel, Ph.D., professor and vice chair of the department of psychiatry at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and the author of a new book entitled The Stress Prescription. We discuss her work showing how stress impacts mood, eating behavior, mental health, physical health, and aging. She explains stress intervention tools using “top-down” techniques (e.g., radical acceptance, mindfulness, reframing), body-based methods (e.g., breathwork) including the Wim Hof Method, exercise, meditation, body scans, and environmental shifts proven to help people cease unhealthy rumination patterns. We discuss how stress can positively impact psychology and sense of purpose, how stress affects cellular aging, how our narratives of stressful events impact our mood and biology, and how to effectively reframe stress. She explains science-based techniques to break stress-induced cycles of craving and overeating and thereby improve insulin sensitivity and metabolic health. Dr. Epel provides a wide range of tools shown to be effective in reducing stress and improving various aspects of our health. For the full show notes, visit hubermanlab.com.

Recode Decode A few weeks ago, President Biden was in the Netherlands, where he asked the Dutch government to restrict export from a company called ASML to China. ASML is the only company in the world that makes a specific machine needed to make the most advanced chips. Apple couldn’t make iPhone chips without this one machine from the Netherlands’ biggest company. ASML doesn’t just shape the Dutch economy—it shapes the entire world economy. How did that happen? Chris Miller, Tufts professor and author of Chip War: The Fight For The World’s Most Critical Technology walked me through a lot of this, along with some deep dives into geopolitics and the absolutely fascinating chip manufacturing process. This one has everything: foreign policy, high powered lasers, hotshot executives, monopolies, the fundamental limits of physics, and, of course, Texas. Here we go.

Huberman Lab Podcast Notes Key Takeaways The dopamine system doesn’t care about the specific goal or pursuit – it’s about pursuing anything, healthy or notIf we expose regularly expose ourselves to things that trigger high levels of dopamine release, we will lower our baseline levels of dopamine over timeFrom a thought to action: desire for things increases dopamine, level of dopamine drops below baseline, drop below baseline triggers motivation to bring dopamine level back up by pursuing the thing you wanted in the first place You want to relieve the pain of not having that thingThree fundamentals of the dopamine system drive you toward learning: (1) desire – I want that; (2) motivation – drives you toward action; (3) reward or lack of rewardAddictions are the progressive narrowing of things that give us pleasure “It’s both the duration between desire and effect (rewarding property of dopamine that are experienced) that teach the system to want and expect short gaps, which makes it hard to pursue things that take longer.” – Dr. Andew HubermanIf you enjoy an activity, protect that feeling by making sure you don’t attach reward or other dopamine-releasing behaviors to that behavior If you stack too many dopamine-releasing things to something you already enjoy, you may experience less interest/desire/motivation to do that thingTo overcome procrastination: figure out something that sucks (but is safe) to steepen the trough which will bring you back to baseline dopamine faster For example cold shower/water immersion – this will remind your brain you can do hard thingsRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, I explain how dopamine dynamics — meaning changes and interactions between our baseline and peak levels of dopamine drive our cravings and sense of motivation. I also explain how to leverage dopamine dynamics to overcome procrastination. I cover behavioral, cognitive, nutrition-based and supplementation-based tools to optimize baseline and peak dopamine levels to ensure a persistently motivated state. I also discuss how to boost motivation when you are in a rut, why you might not want to stack behaviors/substances that spike dopamine and how build and maintain a “growth mindset” for pursuing goals of any kind. Dopamine is an incredibly powerful neuromodulator involved in basic functions (e.g., hunger, romantic attraction, etc.) and feats of cognitive and physical performance; by understanding the dynamics of dopamine, listeners ought to be better positioned to overcome procrastination, maintain motivation, and improve confidence.

Artificial Intelligence Podcast Podcast Notes Key Takeaways  We will look back on GPT-4 as we do the early computers: buggy, slow, room for improvement, but nonetheless a monumental achievement Progress is a continuous exponential; very rarely is there “a single moment” where technology crosses the rubiconOpenAI is building in public because they think it is important for the world to get access to this technology early and to shape the way it is going to be developed Better alignment techniques lead to better capabilities, and vice versaIdeally, the world comes together, discusses, and agrees on where it wants to draw the boundaries on the GPT systemIt is possible that GPT-4 is the most complex software object that humanity has produced, and it will be trivial in a couple of decades Maybe AGI is never achieved; maybe narrow AI just continues to make humans better  There is some chance of an AGI destroying humanity, and it is important to acknowledge that chance because if we do not discuss and treat it as potentially real, then we will not put enough effort into solving itAGI could happen soon or far in the future; the takeoff speed from the initial AGI to more powerful successor systems could be slow or fastIt would be “crazy” to not be a little bit afraid of AGI  Sam worries about the entities creating AGIs that do have incentives to capture unlimited value“I definitely grew up with Elon as a hero of mine. Despite him being a jerk on Twitter or whatever, I’m happy he exists in the world. But I wish he would do more to look at the hard work we’re doing to get this stuff right.” – Sam AltmanThese AI systems will make a lot of jobs go away, as is true for every technological revolution, and will also create many new types of jobs that we cannot yet imagine Over the next several decades, the two dominant changes will be the reduced cost of intelligence and energy“Listening to advice from other people should be approached with great caution.” – Sam Altman Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgSam Altman is the CEO of OpenAI, the company behind GPT-4, ChatGPT, DALL-E, Codex, and many other state-of-the-art AI technologies.

Huberman Lab Podcast Notes Key Takeaways Prevention of atherosclerosis (the leading cause of death in the world): (1) maintain healthy blood pressure (120/80); (2) don’t smoke anything; (3) measure ApoB and lipoproteins starting in the 20sApoB is far superior for predicting risk than LDL: LDLc measures the total concentration of cholesterol in LDL; APoB measures the number of them “There is no ambiguity that ApoB is causally related to atherosclerosis.” – Dr. Peter AttiaMost of the cholesterol you eat, you don’t absorbUnequivocal truths for brain health: sleep matters, lower LDL cholesterol, and ApoB is better, not having type 2 diabetes matters, exercise matters (low-intensity cardio, strength, interval training) Avoiding head injuries is also important; research on the use of hyperbaric oxygen immediately following head injury is emerging (but don’t consider hyperbaric oxygen as useful for anything else)“Some component of your training needs to be stressing type 2 fibers. You have to be doing strength training that taxes those fibers.” – Dr. Peter AttiaTo offset the probability of falls you have to be able to jump and land safely – after a fall at minimum your quality of life is impacted, on the far end risk of death increases by 15-30%The Hallmark of aging in muscle is the degradation of type 2 muscles (fast twitch) – we lose speed, then strength, then size; you have to train jumping and landing Pillars of longevity through physical health: (1) strength, (2) stability, (3) aerobic efficiency, (4) aerobic peak output/VO2 maxEmotional health is potentially the most important factor in health – an infinite lifespan if you’re miserable is worthless; poor emotional health is a risk factor for every marker of health Redirect negative self-talk: communicating lovingly with yourself is critical for your ability to not beat up those around you as wellThe goal is not perfection – you will set yourself up for failure if your goal is to be perfect, instead focus on being the best at repairing damage when you cause it  Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, my guest is Peter Attia, M.D. He completed his medical and advanced training at Stanford University School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Dr. Attia is host of the health and medicine podcast, The Drive, and the author of a new book, “Outlive: The Science &amp;amp; Art of Longevity,” which examines disease prevention and healthy aging, including emotional health. He explains the leading causes of death worldwide and how to measure one’s risk of death and mitigate each risk factor. Dr. Attia shares how, in addition to blood-based markers of lipids and hormones, there are behavioral measures and interventions, and key aspects of emotional health (i.e., relationships, emotional stability, purpose, etc.) that fundamentally impact our physical health and longevity, and how to assess and adjust our emotional health. This episode is rich with actionable information related to disease screening and biomarker testing, nutritional, exercise, behavior and prescription-based tools that area useful to all people regardless of age, male or female, and that can significantly improve vitality, health and lifespan.

Huberman Lab Podcast Notes “When it comes to nutrition, quality, quantity, and timing – all these three matter.” – Dr. Satchin PandaIntermittent fasting really means caloric restriction; time-restricted eating doesn’t necessarily reduce caloric intake but does reduce the time of eating food (for example, 16hrs fasting and 8 hours of eating)Consistency is a critical component of TRE: our body has an internal timetable that pre-programs molecular aspects of the cells – they want to do certain things at certain times; we can use feeding to tune our cells Adhere at least 5 days per week; obviously, every day is best but improvements have been observed 5 out of 7 daysA feeding window of 10 or 12 hours is a good place to start (particularly if you exercise), then taper down to 8 hours of feeding if it feels right for you Be advised, reducing the feeding window too much can have negative side effects, particularly for athletes or very active peopleMost studies exclude shift workers because of schedule and known disruption to physical and mental health – even 1-2 nights of being awake when you expect to sleep can take a week to recoverRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, my guest is Satchin Panda, PhD, professor and the director of the Regulatory Biology Laboratories at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. We discuss his lab’s discovery that “time-restricted eating” (TRE) aka intermittent fasting, is beneficial effects for metabolic health and longevity. Dr. Panda explains how TRE, and also longer fasts, can positively impact obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular health, age-related chronic diseases, and improve mood and cognitive performance. He also describes how the timing of eating, light exposure and exercise that ~50% of all people engage in, negatively impacts their health and explains how specific simple adjustments to these can positively shift their subjective feelings of health and biomarkers of cardiovascular function, glucose regulation and metabolism. We discuss how our circadian behaviors, which include our patterns of eating, sleeping and socializing, have an enormous impact on our biology, mood and health and how by simply confining our calorie consumption to a semi-regular daily window, can positively impact our physical health, mental health and longevity.

Invest Like the Best Podcast Notes Key Takeaways Many of the high-margin software businesses have no impact on society, and sometimes can even have a negative impact on society Founders in the dynamism category are creating teams that are mission-oriented and interested in more than just making money; they want to build techno-optimist solutions for strategically important problems It is important for society’s best players to choose good questsIt is best to lean into your passions and overinvest in them We must encourage people to be “spikey” instead of only encouraging them to be “well-rounded”  In his early days at Founder Fund, Trae was looking to invest in a 21st-century reboot of Lockheed Martin; it did not exist, so he started it If a company is going to work, each team member must leverage their own superpower to achieve the company’s audacious goal The adversary must know that Anduril’s product will prevent their offensive from happening and that the defensive cost to prevent it is far lower than the offensive cost to launch it  “The DoD has done a really good job at creating theater around their innovation efforts.” – Trae Stephens The big defense primes are effectively government agencies that respond to the incentives presented to them Mimetic desire is the primary motivation for conflict in society because we are all going after the scarce resources that other people want  Working and learning about an industry in a supporting role is 100x better than graduate schoolThe first question that Trae Stephens asks in every pitch meeting is: “What is the origin story of this business?”Ask yourself what you are uniquely suited to do to contribute to a greater goodWe lose the wonders of virtue when we rely on ourselves as the source of all truth Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgMy guest this week is Trae Stephens. Trae is a partner at Founders Fund and co-founder and Executive Chairman of Anduril. Trae’s philosophy can be boiled down to finding good quests, which has led him to investing in businesses that work closely with the government on societally important issues. Clearly, that extends to co-founding Anduril and I would highly recommend listening to my Business Breakdowns episode on Anduril if you haven’t already. In this conversation, we discuss the importance of lobbyists, why the high-tech defense firms of the past became stale, and how he hunts for disagreeableness in founders.

Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com Twitter/IG: @RyanHawk12   https://twitter.com/RyanHawk12 David Lieberman, Ph.D., is a renowned psychotherapist and the author of eleven books, including the New York Times bestsellers Get Anyone to Do Anything and Never Be Lied to Again. He has trained personnel in the U.S.  Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote: “People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.” A person looks at the world as a reflection of themselves. If they see the world as corrupt, they feel on some level that they are corrupt. If they see honest working people, that is frequently how they see themselves. “How someone treats you is a reflection of their own emotional health and says everything about them and nothing about you.” Speaking negatively behind someone’s back orients you to look for the negative in others. Wouldn’t we rather spend time with people who seek the greatness in others? “The less emotionally healthy a person is, the more they denigrate the world to accommodate their own insecurities.” Knowledge is not power. Knowledge is a tool. How it is wielded makes all of the difference. Real power is the responsible application of knowledge. Word usage: Let’s take the example of giving a compliment. A woman who believes what she’s saying is more likely to use a personal pronoun. For instance, “I really liked your presentation.” However, a person offering insincere flattery might say, “Nice presentation,” or “Looks like you did a lot of research.” In the second case, she has removed herself from the equation. The Art of reading the bluff - When a person is bluffing, they are managing others’ impressions to convey the “right” effect and serve a personal agenda. Conversely, the authentic person is not interested in how they come across because they are unconcerned with their image. “People who bluff habitually overcompensate, so you can uncover a bluff instantly by noticing how someone tries to appear.” Relationships: Whenever David speaks to couples, he's always on the lookout when the word we is conspicuously absent from the conversation. We are attracted to positivity. It reflects humility. "Humility connects you to the ownership of mistakes." Humility can recognize a weakness in self. The difference between a sociopath and a psychopath: A sociopath has no conscious. They are very dangerous. A psychopath's wiring is off. They were born that way. Life and career advice: Find a passion that contributes to the world. Don't get too caught up in image or ego. "You can be anything. you're good at. as long as they're hiring." -- Chris Rock

People often focus on the former, but in this episode we chose to highlight the latter – a highly creative role that emerges alongside AI: the prompt engineer.Until AI can close the loop of its own, each tool still requires a set of prompts. Just like a composer feeds an instrument the notes to play, a prompt engineer feeds an AI a map of what to produce. And if we know anything from music it’s that composing great music takes great skill!In this episode we explore the emerging importance of prompting with Guy Parsons, the early learnings of how to do it effectively, and where this field might be going.Will the prompt engineer be more like the highly sought after DevOps engineer, or a proficiency like Excel that you find on every resume?

Drive with Dr. Peter Attia Podcast Notes Key Takeaways GLP-1 and GIP both started as drugs to control glucose and insulin resistance in people developing or with type 2 diabetesStudies showed the added benefit of GLP-1 agonists on weight loss but the mechanism is unclear, though they do reduce appetite in some wayRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.org View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter’s Weekly Newsletter In this “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) episode, Peter focuses the discussion on two topics getting a lot of attention recently. He first dives deep into GLP-1 agonists, most notably semaglutide and tirzepatide, which originally came to market as diabetes drugs but are now being studied and prescribed for weight loss. He walks through the data and compares the effectiveness of the two drugs, the side effects, and perhaps more importantly, his reservations around wide use of these drugs and who he would consider to be a candidate for them. Next, Peter discusses how metformin, another drug originally brought to market for diabetes management, gained popularity as a potential longevity drug even for non-diabetics. Peter gives his take on this possibility and reviews data from a more recent study investigating the question of whether metformin should be used for general “geroprotection.” If you’re not a subscriber and are listening on a podcast player, you’ll only be able to hear a preview of the AMA.

Art of Manliness Podcast Notes Key Takeaways If you don’t understand how to train hard, aren’t consistent about training, or have poor nutrition – supplements aren’t going to move the needle“If people took the amount of time, effort, and money they spent trying to hack their way around hard work and just applied that to hard work – they would get so far. That’s actually the hack, just to do the work.” – Dr. Layne NortonTiming of protein is not as important as hitting daily targets 0.8g/kg body weight for maintenance1.6-2.6g/kg body weight for building muscleEven if you are not concerned about training performance and muscle, supplementing with creatine monohydrate may have positive benefitsStay away from supplements that use the label “proprietary blend” – they’re usually hiding the best ingredients in the smallest portion and don’t want to discloseIf you follow a plant-based diet, you may want to supplement with protein because the protein in plants is bound in fibrous material and is less bioavailable Soy protein is a complete protein; pea protein lacking so mix it with wheat isolate or other protein for a complete profileRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn your journey towards becoming stronger, fitter, and healthier, there often comes a point where you wonder if taking some supplements will help your progress along. But what fitness supplements are actually effective and worth investing in?Here to answer that question is Layne Norton, a powerlifter and doctor of nutritional science who has a passion for debunking health-related myths and promoting evidence-based recommendations. He’s also, full disclosure, the owner of a supplement company himself. But I don’t have any financial connection to Layne’s company and we keep this conversation neutral and high-level. In our conversation, Layne argues that there are three top-tier research-backed supplements to consider — whey protein, creatine, and caffeine — and we unpack how to use each of them for optimal results. We discuss whether plant proteins are sufficient for building muscle, whether it’s true that creatine causes bloating, acne, and hair loss, how to best time your caffeine intake to energize your workouts, and much more. At the end of our conversation, Layne shares some additional supplements that seem promising for enhancing your health and fitness.Resources Related to the EpisodeLayne’s previous appearance on the AoM podcast: Episode #475 — How to Lose Weight, and Keep It Off ForeverLayne’s supplement company: Outwork NutritionAoM Article: A Primer On Muscle-Building Supplements — Which Work and Which Don’t?AoM Article: Creatine — A Primer on Its Benefits and UseAoM Article: How to Use Caffeine to Optimize Your WorkoutsAoM Article: Chugging Your Protein — It’s Whey Easier Than You ThinkAoM Podcast #285: The Real Science of Nutrition and SupplementsConnect With Layne NortonLayne on InstagramLayne‘s website

Huberman Lab Podcast Notes Key Takeaways A rough estimate of hydration needs at rest: consume 8oz of fluid for every hour you are awake for the first 10 hours of your day – this can be consumed as total volume over the course of the dayFollow Galpin’s equation for hydration during exercise: your body weight (in pounds) / 30 = # of ounces to consume every 15 minutesDeliberate cold exposure sample protocol:2 minutes of deliberate cold exposure/water immersion up to the neck + 30 seconds of deliberate cold exposure with cold shower 5x per week Potential benefits: increase in catecholamines (benefits mood and well-being), sexual satisfaction (probably from increases in testosterone in men and women), reduction in anxiety, reduction in waist circumference in men, reduction in abdominal fat in menTo reduce nighttime urination frequency: (1) hydrate sufficiently during the day; (2) reduce fluid intake at night; (3)don’t chug water at night if you drink! sip slowly, rate mattersKnow how much fluoride is in your tap water! Google your zip code + water analysis – (high fluoride even at 0.5mg/mL can negatively impact thyroid stimulating hormone)You don’t need to enrich your water but if pH is insufficient or magnesium is low, address it to achieve better and more efficient hydration, reduce inflammation, blood pressure, and other health metrics Find out the profile of your tape water by googling your zip code + water analysisYou can purchase hydrogen molecular tablets to drop in water which will increase pHRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, I discuss our body’s most vital and essential nutrient—water. I explain the structure of water and how it is used by the cells and tissues of our body, how much water we each need to drink and when in order to optimize our mental focus and physical performance; and I include how exercise, humidity, heat, and caffeine affect our hydration needs. I explain how temperature and pH influence water’s physical properties and if there is any scientific basis for drinking so-called “pH water” or “alkalized water” to improve health. I explain how to test your tap water for contaminants (e.g., endocrine disruptors) and the documented problems with fluoride in drinking water. I provide options for filtering drinking water and describe different water types (e.g., reverse osmosis, hydrogen-enriched, electrolyzed reduced, deuterium depleted, etc.). Since the human body is mostly water (55-80% depending on one’s age) and water has essential roles in health, disease and cellular function, everyone ought to benefit from understanding how best to clean our tap water, hydrate effectively and in some cases, adjust the type of water we drink to allow our brain and body to function optimally in regard to health and performance.

Aarthi and Sriram's Good Time Show ✓ Claim Podcast Notes Key Takeaways The recent breakthroughs with ChatGPT break the world into two groups: those who can understand exponential growth, and those that sit around and deny itAI hallucinations are evidence that we have apparently solved the problem of computer creativityThe real breakthroughs are going to happen when entrepreneurs discard all current assumptions and purely start from scratch“This may be the single biggest financial explosion in the history of the industry.” – Marc Andreessen “It may only be the case that new companies can actually do anything interesting in AI.” – Marc Andreessen  Much of the current concern over AI is not about the Skynet doomsday scenario, but about how AI will abide by approved woke-speechAI is replacing jobs in the opposite order in which people expected it to We are in the midst of another high-octane Luddism fallacy where people panic and believe new technology is going to replace all the jobsPeople always underestimate the degree to which new technology creates new jobsVirtually every white-collar job that exists today is the result of technological advancement that occurred in the last 300 years or even 50 years “Our biggest problem for the next decade is not going to be AI having too much effect, it’s going to be AI having too little effect.” – Marc Andreessen We must accept that the most amazing technological breakthrough of all time – replicating human consciousness – is just going to happen accidentallyQuestioning AI sentience reveals more about human values and how humans perceive the world than they reveal about the technical components of a machineAI science fiction is largely based on the assumption that humans and machines will inevitably go to war with one another, but people are experiencing the exact opposite reaction when interacting with ChatGPT  Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, the gang gets back together! Marc Andreessen and Steven Sinofsky are back to talk about all things AI. We cover the rise of ChatGPT, Bing's AI powered chat Sydney, AI ethics, sentience, whether AI will take over jobs, the economic impact, AI startups vs tech incumbents, and whether it is time for AI to become sentient. This was an incredibly fun episode! Marc Andreessen is an American entrepreneur, venture capital investor, and software engineer. He is the co-author of Mosaic, the first widely used web browser; co-founder of Netscape; and co-founder and general partner of Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. Steven Jay Sinofsky is a former president of the Windows Division at Microsoft. He was responsible for the development and marketing of Windows, Internet Explorer, and online services such as Outlook.com and SkyDrive.

Huberman Lab Podcast Notes Key Takeaways Genes and patterns of inheritance shape our lives and who we areMost people get the concept of epigenetic inheritance wrong – it really means that the environment of the parent somehow changed future childrenBottom line, we need larger studies to understand the extent of epigenetics – it’s also difficult to design because we have to control environmental effectsFor memories to pass through generations, there has to be a transformation of the neural circuit into the nucleotide sequences contained in DNA or RNA (more likely) The transformation of one set of physical points to a translation of points in genetic points needs to take placeTrue epigenetic effect has been observed in c. elegans: it was shown that the brain can communicate with the next generation using small RNAs and this can change behavior in 3 generations without using any languageRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, my guest is Oded Rechavi, Ph.D., professor of neurobiology at Tel Aviv University and expert in how genes are inherited, how experiences shape genes and remarkably, how some memories of experiences can be passed via genes to offspring. We discuss his research challenging long-held tenets of genetic inheritance and the relevance of those findings to understanding key biological and psychological processes including metabolism, stress and trauma. He describes the history of the scientific exploration of the “heritability of acquired traits” and how epigenetics and RNA biology can account for some of the passage of certain experience-based memories. He discusses the importance of model organisms in scientific research and describes his work on how stressors and memories can be passed through small RNA molecules to multiple generations of offspring in ways that meaningfully affect their behavior. Nature vs. nurture is a commonly debated theme; Dr. Rechavi’s work represents a fundamental shift in our understanding of that debate, as well as genetic inheritance, brain function and evolution.
