  • 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

    “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 Saylor

    Michael Saylor is the CEO of MicroStrategy. In this interview, we discuss ossification, user rights, sovereignty, funding Bitcoin development, the political war over digital asset regulation, and the sly roundabout revolution.

    #783 As creators, starting a physical products business might seem daunting. But is there a future where something like MrBeast's Feastables puts companies like Hershey out of business? Will influencers eventually run the biggest brands in the world? In this episode, I chat with a solo blogger turned empire builder. My friend Kevin Espiritu of Epic Gardening is back on the show to give us an inside look at the 10x growth he's pulled off since our last chat. We discuss affiliate marketing, drop shipping, and creating original products on your own or through partnerships with other companies. We also dive into Kevin's content creation schedule. His brand puts out a wild 120 to 180 articles per month. But that's not all. Kevin and his team publish across several YouTube channels, with some videos requiring months of shooting and preparation.

    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.org



    The 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?

    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?

    A 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.

  • 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

    Episode Outline:

    Players who practice hard when no one is paying attention play well when everyone is watching.

    It's hard, but it's fair. 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.

    Key Takeaways The question to consider: Does AI help the strong get stronger, or does AI allow for new businesses to emerge and disrupt the incumbents? The top five technology companies are spending 2x on capital expenditure than the top five energy companies Companies should strive to increase the consumer’s willingness to pay“Regulation is the friend of the incumbent.” – Bill Gurley Venture capital is one of the few asset classes that has high persistence: the past winners tend to be future winnersDevelop a framework that allows you to benefit from the group dynamics of pattern recognition, but that does not tie you to one specific type of pattern Instead of nit-picking how an investment may fail, make the primary focus of the discussion: “How big could this be?” Investors must capture the extreme events if they wish to outperform The sharpest minds desire to know where they are wrong about something

    Key Takeaways Find your talent, not your passion: Being great at something that pays well will make you passionate about whatever that thing is Fostering the American Middle Class is the country’s greatest innovationYou become a man when you add surplus value to society, i.e. when you produce more than you consume People under the age of 40 used to control 19% of the GDP, in terms of their wealth; it has since been cut to 9% “The most dangerous person in the world is a man who is broken and alone.” – Scott Galloway America used to be about giving unremarkable kids remarkable opportunities; the country has since gone away from this It is not obvious how to become economically secure without working hard Billionaires will tell you to follow your passion, but they probably made their billions in iron ore and smelting Near-peer adversaries will not choose to take on the U.S. kinetically; instead, they will likely use AI and other tools to attack America from within and exploit the ongoing loneliness epidemic Young professionals should not fall victim to the “myth of balance”; it is very rare to achieve professional success while living a balanced life

    This week, I am joined by Scott Galloway, NYU professor, best-selling author, serial entrepreneur, and podcaster, to discuss the multifaceted challenges many young men face today. 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.

    Enjoy!

    Key Takeaways Tips for improved cognition: Sleep, exercise, maintain good metabolic health & low risk of cardiovascular disease, give yourself blocks of time for focused workExercise for cognitive health: Train cardio in a ratio of 80:20, Zone 2:VO2 maxWarning: Doses of over the counter melatonin are supraphysiologic; reserve melatonin for jet lag but not as a daily sleep aid to avoid suppressing innate melatonin production “If you have every single thing imaginable but you have no connection with other people, what do you have?” – Peter AttiaPoor emotional health is a threat to longevityYour emotions matter but don’t just take them at face value; use them as cue to dive deeper below the surface and consider the origin Considerations for emotional health: (1) Sense of purpose; (2) Satisfaction and joy; (3) achievement; (4) Quality of relationships; (5) Self-regulation; (6) Distress toleranceThe next time you are tempted to chastise yourself or use negative self-talk, try this instead:Take out your phone and voice record a description of what you would say to a friend if they just committed the same act you were just about to punish in yourselfFor example, instead of yelling at yourself for burning dinner, pull out your phone and record yourself talking to a friend who is upset they just burned dinner – you will find yourself much kinder to them than yourselfWith practice, you will still remember the incident happened, but you will be able to move on easier without it ruining the dayTRT is safe in men who actually need it; the risk is in the supraphysiologic levels being administered to people who don’t need it and without proper guidance or supervision Focus on healthspan and you’ll get the byproduct of improved lifespanStop giving into the noise!

    Key Takeaways In the 1930s, the US Treasury took partial possession of Fort Knox so that it could store its gold thereBefore Fort Knox, most of the United States’ gold was stored in New York City and Philadelphia, two cities that were close to the coast and potentially more vulnerable to an invasion from an adversary Supposedly, there are 4600 metric tons of gold in the vault at Fort Knox; this equates to 2.5% of all the gold ever mined in human history Some people believe that there is actually no gold in the vault There have only been three official tours of Fort Knox since its foundingFort Knox is hooked up to its own water and power supply; it can go “off-grid”There is speculation that the field surrounding Fort Knox is a minefield

    When Fort Knox was built in the 1930s to house America’s gold supply, it was billed as an impenetrable, impregnable, don’t-even-think-of-trying vault. But as the world has moved further away from gold, the stockpile’s lost a bit of its luster. Learn all about it in this classic episode.
