Podville #23 We discuss the conversation between Joe Rogan and Dr. Phil on forging your own way through life

How can society incentivize good behavior? — Every statement I make is a vote in the country called "me." — Am I rewarding bad behavior in my life? — Where is the line between inside and outside, between me and the truth? Does such a line exist? — A healthy society (or person) does not reward bad behavior. — The easiest way to lose power is to let someone convince you that you don't have any. — Be the avatar in your own game: define what the game is and what winning means. — Could it be that we all know what we're called to do and are just pretending to be ignorant? — Dr. Phil wants to "own the debate lane," the forum in which debate takes place; what about owning the debate lane that is my own life? — Everyone does their part, for better or worse. — Outliers are very important to move the narrative forward. — What am I trying to accomplish with my talk? — If I want to change people, accusing them is not going to help. — Look closely at the picture you have painted of yourself. — Give every citizen 10 points a day; each one gives a plus point for other's good behavior, a minus point for bad behavior. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Podville #22 We discuss the conversation between Joe Rogan and Bret Weinstein on possible causes of the current weirdness in society

People's willingness to set everything aside to conform to the narrative of society — the amazing feat of being able to keep up with the ever-changing narrative on Covid — how hard it is to adjust to losing trust in authority, or in other people — men's need for safety and security — the value of freedom of speech — is AI a threat to freedom of speech? — is AI like the early days of the printing press, when the printer controlled the news — taking sides as a major obstacle to learning the truth — How being willing to be wrong, being detached from your own belief system, and asking “is the belief useful” all help in finding out the truth — how the placebo effect (believing what you’re told by an authority) can cause problems — how to move from identifying problems to doing something about them — every problem you identify is another business opportunity — looking into mindset of the elitist — Elitism as a belief system (“I/we know what’s good for the peasants) — weakness opens you to disease & disease attacks the body; both are needed to get sick. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Podville #21 We discuss the conversation between Jordan Peterson and the four brilliant members of the Bitcoiner Book Club on how the currency relates to truth in society

Money is a description of value. What determines the real value of anything? — What do I assign value to? — How do I assign value? — Why do I assign value? — How actual ownership leads to taking responsibility — Brief explanation of bitcoin: A digital asset that cannot be inflated and is very hard to steal or seize. — Fiat currency is currency backed by government credit and police force only. It makes inflation possible; inflation moves the wealth of society from the working classes to the asset-owning classes (the rich). — How fiat currency is increasing prices when they should be declining as we get more and more productive (through factories, mechanized agriculture, internet) — How perception of scarcity increases social divisiveness — What will money look like in the future? — How until bitcoin no one ever really owned anything (gold, real estate) without the protection of others (the law) — How actual ownership leads to taking responsibility — No fiat currency ever started out as the currency; it was always a bait and switch game. — What would be a more reliable indicator of value: the collective consciousness of millions of people (the open market) or a few politicians and bureaucrats? — because the free market is a true democracy in which people vote by buying and selling, fiat currency must be imposed by violence; it is also violation of free speech — fiat currency is a pyramid scheme in which those in higher tiers are constantly enriching themselves at the expense of those in lower tiers — fiat money is said to be good to prevent people from hoarding. Is hoarding a bad thing? — Hoarding versus investing. — How a fundamental principle applies from the micro to the macro. (Example: private debt and government debt.) ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Podville #20 A conversation between Marc Andreessen and Andrew Huberman: Redefining Success, Openness, and the Role of AI

If success requires doing what other people are NOT willing to do, what is brainpower really worth? — The nature and importance of openness — How to be confident and open at the same time — How open-mindedness is only useful in the context of a well defined goal — Having an open mind vs. not making the same mistakes over and over — working with natural law for success — The value of being disagreeable (without showing it) — Pivoting is a necessity, not a sign of failure — Even great wealth is no protection against the power of your social group to control your mindset — advances in technology are making education instantly available to everyone — benefits of podcasts — The power of re-naming to change our perception of something — Change is always met by opposition, but if it's a good idea, the new always prevails — Is being super successful in one area an obstacle to be successful in all areas? — Our lives can be whatever we want them to be — To get where you want to go you MUST know where you are AND where you want to go — Knowing where you are is very difficult (with dramatic stories of self deception) — psychedelic induced delusions of spirituality — can AI have an individual identity? — The essence of individual identity — How does isolating intelligence from the total human being, which also includes eating, survival, reproduction, social relationships etc. etc. make AI different from human intelligence? — Since AI is said to be operating in ways that it's makers do not understand, can we not say that the data it was trained on is no longer controlling it? ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
