    (1:00) The Story of Civilization by Will and Ariel Durant (Full Set)

    (2:30) Generations of men establish a growing mastery over the earth, but they are destined to become fossils in its soil.

    (4:00) Ruthlessly prioritize how you spend your time.

    (14:30) In the end, superior ability has its way.

    (16:30) Nothing is clearer in history than the adoption by successful rebels of the methods they were accustomed to condemn in the forces they deposed.

    (19:00) The imitative majority follows the innovating minority and this follows the originative individual, in adapting new responses to the demands of environment or survival.

    Renaissance Technologies is the best performing investment firm of all time. And yet no one at RenTec would consider themselves an “investor”, at least in any traditional sense of the word. It’d rather be more accurate to call them scientists — scientists who’ve discovered a system of math, computers and artificial intelligence that has evolved into the greatest money making machine the world has ever seen. And boy does it work: RenTec’s alchemic colossus has posted annual returns in the firm’s flagship Medallion Fund of 68% gross and 40% net over the past 34 years, while never once losing money. (For those keeping track at home, $1,000 invested in Medallion in 1988 would have compounded to $46.5B today… if you’d been allowed to keep it in.) Tune in for an incredible story of the small group of rebel mathematicians who didn’t just beat the market, but in the words of author Greg Zuckerman “solved it.”

    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

    Key Takeaways The trick of entrepreneurship is convincing yourself that it is not that hard, even when it is “Your organization should be the architecture of the machinery of building the product.” – Jensen Huang Pave the way to future opportunities; you cannot wait until the opportunity is in front of you to reach out for it Many of the great all-time tech companies began by building products and services for developers You don’t have to be that perfect if you can position yourself near opportunities Every person should learn how to use an AI to augment their productivityNvidia tries to position itself in a way that serves a need that is yet to emergePush your chips in when you know it is going to work Don’t do everything; prioritize your time, and make sacrifices, but realize that there is plenty of time in life

    We finally sit down with the man himself: Nvidia Cofounder & CEO Jensen Huang. After three parts and seven+ hours of covering the company, we thought we knew everything but — unsurprisingly — Jensen knows more. A couple teasers: we learned that the company’s initial motivation to enter the datacenter business came from perhaps not where you’d think, and the roots of Nvidia’s platform strategy stretch back beyond CUDA all the way to the origin of the company.

    We also got a peek into Jensen’s mindset and calculus behind “betting the company” multiple times, and his surprising feelings about whether he’d go on the founder journey again if he could rewind time. We can’t think of any better way to tie a bow on our Nvidia series (for now). Tune in!

    (0:01) Vanderbilt was only interested in two things: making money and winning

    (3:00) Cornelius Vanderbilt, the descendant of poor Dutch immigrants, would die in 1877 possessing more money than was held by the United States treasury.
    (3:00) The First Tycoon: The Epic Life of Cornelius Vanderbilt by T.J. Stiles

    (5:00) The NEW Poor Charlie's Almanack: The Wit and Wisdom of Charlie Munger. (Founders #329)

    (6:00) “If I had learned education. I would not have had time to learn anything else.”

    (7:00) Vanderbilt wrote nothing down, keeping every detail of his business dealings in his head, and at any given time he knew his income and expenditures down to the last cent.

    (10:00) From Founders Notes. I asked the chat feature:

    Tell me about Cornelius Vanderbilt. How did he make his money?

    One trait it identified in Vanderbilt was this:

    Vanderbilt's approach to business was often marked by a sly concealment of his intentions, keeping information close while simultaneously gathering intelligence on competitors. This strategic obfuscation allowed him to make moves that others often couldn't predict or comprehend until it was too late

    (This feature will be available to Founders Notes subscribers very soon!)

    (15:00) The Invisible Billionaire: Daniel Ludwig by Jerry Shields (Founders #292)

    (24:00) The Founders: The Story of PayPal and the Entrepreneurs Who Shaped Silicon Valley by Jimmy Soni. (Founders #233)

    (26:00) Gentlemen, you have undertaken to cheat me. I won’t sue you, for the law is too slow. I’ll ruin you. Yours truly, Cornelius Vanderbilt.

    (37:00) He's turning everyone against Walker by appealing to their interests. He’s not saying do this for me to get my ships back. He appeals to their interests and aligns their interests with his own.

    (40:00) Vanderbilt had more money than all the Central American governments combined.

    (41:00) As far as my nature is concerned, I do not meet competition, I destroy competitors.

    — The 38 Letters from J.D. Rockefeller to His Son by John D. Rockefeller. (Founders #324)

    (41:00) Vanderbilt said why don’t you pay me to not compete with you?

    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&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

    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

    Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down in-person with retired Navy SEAL, author, speaker, and podcaster, Jocko Willink. They discuss Jocko’s new speaking tour, the catharsis and upward momentum gained from genuine connection, the morality of a soldier, what a real leader is, and how to become one yourself.

    Jocko Willink is a retired U.S. Navy SEAL officer, co-author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win, Dichotomy of Leadership, host of the top-rated Jocko Podcast, and co-founder of Echelon Front, where he serves as Chief Executive Officer, leadership instructor, speaker, and strategic advisor. Jocko spent 20 years in the SEAL Teams, starting as an enlisted SEAL and rising through the ranks to become a SEAL officer. As commander of SEAL Team Three’s Task Unit Bruiser during the battle of Ramadi, he orchestrated SEAL operations that helped the “Ready First” Brigade of the U.S. Army’s First Armored Division bring stability to the violent, war-torn city. Task Unit Bruiser became the most highly decorated Special Operations Unit of the Iraq War.

    Key Takeaways The study of economics is a way of carrying forward big ideas about the world The best economists have real depth and breadth in their work Risk aversion is context-dependent The emergence of AI agents will show that Hayek was right about how decentralized systems evolve When a nation allows for free trade, a shockingly high percentage of the productivity gains come from the worst firms being bankrupted by the free trade “My worry is that energy becomes too cheap and people, at very low cost, can destroy things rather easily.” – Tyler CowenIn the coming world of AI, effective people will segregate their tasks in a way that reflects their comparative advantage; this will lead to a bifurcation of personal productivity

    It was a great pleasure speaking with Tyler Cowen for the 3rd time.

    We discussed GOAT: Who is the Greatest Economist of all Time and Why Does it Matter?, especially in the context of how the insights of Hayek, Keynes, Smith, and other great economists help us make sense of AI, growth, animal spirits, prediction markets, alignment, central planning, and much more.

    Key Takeaways Your survival may depend more on your personality than upon danger, the enemy, the weather, the terrain, or the nature of the emergency Survival depends a great deal on your knowing and facing the situation, but you are part of the situation Taking action reduces fear; there is nothing that makes fear worse than hesitation Survival requires the ability to detach from the situation“You can only improve your weaknesses if you’re humble enough to admit them.” – Jocko Willink Both pessimism and unrealistic optimism are equally dangerous to survival Seek out things that make you uncomfortable so that you become more comfortable with being uncomfortable

    Key Takeaways Qualities such as stickiness, gravity, and permanence are common among companies that have durable revenueJust because a company is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) company does not mean that it has durable revenue Products with durable revenue streams tend to become deeply integrated and entangled within an organizationNet dollar retention rate (NRR) is not an indication of anything; it is a manifestation of the business in its current state Conceptual TAM calculations are often overestimated and do not match up with reality A company must earn the position to extend itself into new markets Power laws exist in every industry; most industries are dominated by just a few companies A company must have multiple acts beyond its core business if it wants to survive in the long term Every CFO must have three things: trust, command of the facts, and an understanding of what moves the needle for the company

    Robert Greene is an author known for his books on strategy, power, mastery, and seduction. The 48 Laws of Power, perhaps Greene's most famous book, found a particularly passionate audience among rappers and musicians, as the book resonates with the challenges and dynamics of the music industry. After 50 Cent read it, he approached Greene and the two collaborated on The 50th Law. It’s been mentioned in songs by Jay Z, Kanye West, UGK, Central Cee, MF DOOM, and Drake.
