Bill Perkins | Sex, Markets and Maximizing Life Fulfillment | Win-Win with Liv Boeree

[@et_cetera_]

The good thing about a podcast is that the guests are always changing. I look forward to the next one.

[@astroswell]

Exactly! Such a new concept!

[@andrewenrique5503]

Thank you, Liv. Keep it up. To me, you are one of the most interesting and promising podcast at the current moment (along side Lex, Huberman, etc...) . You bring value to the internet, public debate and human society. You are insightful and I hope this series reach way more people.

[@SputnikExperiment]

... this was remarkable. Thank you for keeping these talks real and not playing into the self-help game of many podcasts. The stories are great, the reflections on life are harrowing. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@Omertron]

Second episode and I am hooked. I love the choice of guests and the insightful questions that draw the discussion down an organic but interesting route. Love it.

[@themccarthyplan2020]

Dear Liv, thanks for your dedication to discovery of finding relevant voices in these interesting and challenging times for all of humanity. With love, TRUTH and better ideas, all nations of the world will rise and shine and heal this beautiful world. Our children are our greatest achievement and eternity is our children. Together, we will make a better world. Bill reminded me of my brief encounter with New York city, I jumped off the top of the Empire State Building with a parachute, New York was good to me. I was a FAA Commercial pilot on the day of 9 11 and as a pilot, I knew on that day that the official story was false. Anyway, I would love to chat with Bill and yourself. Have the best day ever. From sunny Ireland 🕊️❤️🙏☘️

[@F1986R]

I love this already. Just a guest suggestion, maybe you have her in mind, but just in case you don't. Judit Polgar would be a great choice for a guest. I truly believe that she's an excellent example for women & men to follow, similar to you in a way.

[@cjoser]

great idea!

[@daremo50na76]

God I love Bill. He is the very definition of focus.

[@dtaksOM]

Another Great Podcast - Eye opening discussions for sure!

[@ChrisInmanDrums]

Good conversation to listen to 👏🏻 Both motivating and grounding. Also, I’ve been hearing “Die with 0” thrown around as a suggested read by SO many people, but listening to this has got me convinced to read it. Thank you!

[@emilia833]

Bill is really incredible! We love you Billlllll

[@RamezNathan25]

I love the intro music, I love the colors and I'm truly enjoying the conversations. This is just the begining, and I am sure you have what it takes to make this one of the most influential podcasts on the web. We need your consistency because you deserve to win this game.

[@AazzTunah]

Hi Liv ! Fabulous interview with Bill Perkins. I just have a quick question about Bill's new book , "Die with Zero" . For instance, in what chapter does Bill talk about dumping his wife and kids, in order to hook up then marry a young girl, 20 years younger than he is ? Thanks !

[@DaveShap]

Love 59:18 - his take on banks and safeguards, yes

[@11robotics]

"He's a school teacher and you and him have endless trunks of money. ENDLESS. TRUNKS. OF MONEY. He's a SCHOOL TEACHER, for God's sakes, man." - the exact moment I realized Bill Perkins was a top lad.

[@danieljoyce9092]

Wow I had forgotten this. Must have been 10 years ago

[@johncat55]

You have it going Liv! Looking forward to more excellent podcasts

[@fuzzmeister]

This concept/idea of « memory dividends » is a very powerful one. Thankyou for this great content. Much appreciated 😊 impactful stuff. So many good nuggets!. The time bucket/spend curve concept was well articulated and made me think….a lot. Again. Thankyou for great content 🙂 thankyou Lex Friedman, without Lex i would never have met Liv!. U guys are super great minds that will scale to higher good 😊

[@good_ant]

Thanks for another great episode, can't wait for the next one!

[@TheSmoothGrind]

This is amazing. Thank you so much for doing this interview.

[@MrDeerings]

Enjoyed how real the chat was!

[@hififlipper]

Great cast again. The second one is maybe the hardest choice.

[@brzydkareka]

Great interview, thank you so much for provided entertainment and value :)

[@micahcabrera4637]

Great job so far, Liv. You're finding compelling people, and you're a great interviewer. What you're doing strikes me as uniquely difficult in that finding a developed synthesis of competitive intelligence and cooperative intelligence will most likely be uncommon in single individuals. It makes me wonder if a kind of active synthesis between multiple individuals with contrasting intelligences wouldn't be more effective to parse signal from noise in this space. A thought experiment: Dispositionally competitive people have been winning, and synergy often hasn't been necessary to win, so the landscape of reinforcement that has shaped their worldviews predisposes them to have blind-spots in the spaces where synergies lurk. Their strategic intelligence is narrow, but deep. Contrast this with dispositionally cooperative people, who have been developing this synergistic intelligence, but have been doing so outside of the stringent pressures of explicit competition. Their strategic intelligence is broad, but shallow. I imagine the Venn diagram of these dispositions intersecting where competition is present but not extreme, and where there is incentive for cooperation that isn't exempt from competitive pressure. Although it may be that the most compelling or effective synergies exist in combining aspects of each disposition that lie outside of their common intersections. However, even if the most effective post-rival transition requires a synthesis of more extreme aspects of competition and cooperation, it may be the case that amateur arenas will still yield more traction in finding the signals for which initial vectors are most promising in leading toward post-rivalry.

For me, it was Montana Red Dog. Same age range, early teens, regular poker game. Everyone got dealt 4 cards and the bet was whether you could beat the next card off the deck in the same suit. Anytime you had more than half the deck covered, it was a positive bet, but if you lost a pot sized bet the pot doubled....we hade a few $50 dollar pots and that was a huge amount of money in 1982 for a 15 year old kid. The lesson (which I've never learned) is that even with a positive expectation, if your bet sizes are too large, you're drunken walking to the cliff and you're gonna die.

[@Denis-lu2ki]

Love the people you have had so far, hope this podcast lasts a while

[@markkuykendall5475]

2:06:03, "Love is that which enables choice." Liv is quoting Forrest Landry. He initially was on stage at Neurohacker Collective event back in 2017, I think. With him were Liv's friend, Daniel Schmachtenberger, and Jordan Hall.

[@sunkenfroggo]

This video changed my life! Thanks bill and LIv! You beauties!

[@riffking2651]

Really interesting conversation. Hard not to feel quite compelled by Bill's philosophy towards life, especially as someone who got into philosophy and all that stuff early on, and has wasted most of my early adult life being depressed as fuck trying to figure out the state of the world and how to solve all the problems. I feel like I might be too set in my ways for some kinda radical change, but it seems like just embracing the competitive animal and going after what you want is actually a way better strategy than trying to live by some moral or ethical code contrived around some abstract representation of the world. By that I don't mean being a hedonistic sociopathic nihilist, I mean something more like work hard, play hard, and have fun with your life without feeling guilty about not being perfectly logically coherent or finding the exact right point of contact with the world. I think my only real criticism is that genes factor into people's ability to be competitive, and we still need to have compassion for one another and fix situations that are fucked (such as not creating economic demand for slavery, etc). Personally, I would welcome more of the harsh feedback in my relationships. I've been re-reading The Beginning of Infinity, and one of the big elements of how to generate new knowledge is a culture of criticism, and though in that case he is talking about criticizing ideas, I think it could and maybe should apply to relationships. You can definitely critical in such a way that is kind, and I think the sentiment of "I love you bro, sort your fuckin shit out cause I want you to be the best you for the both of us" really lands.

[@surfyswag]

great convo, can't wait for more!

[@MarkWheels00]

Great episode, Liv.

[@bradholc]

He's the boy from the boys club Molly was putting together

[@therealpathynes]

I like this guy for a lot of things other than his perspective on meme stockers trying to bankrupt the NySE. The NYSE has never been a target, its the self regulating organizations with no transparency that were the target. The thesis was that there were and still are bigger fish than melvin. Hes all save the little guy until it comes to his market then its ah fuck em its rigged. Im all for steelmanning an argument, but he is so ridiculously underinformed it kinda taints the rest of the interview. Liv did amazing as per usual. Great conversation.

[@F1986R]

I loved the challenge bet question around minute 90. That's a win win game.

[@JimFry]

Similar to the Tao of Pooh, what we have in this podcast is the Tao of Bill!

[@robertball147]

Great interview. The goal of exchanging his time for others at a 1000 to 1 ratio, sounds like the logic of some of the most successful CEO - that of a sociopath.

[@johnhogan6588]

I started to fallow you when I first saw you on lex Friedman. I think this is a good move for you.

[@adrianr909]

Awesome Liv 💯

[@jsp07411]

Love these elite guest. Can u ask what there doing for health optimization. Testosterone, peptides etc

[@juanitoqueintin5908]

NYC is very envious place. I grew up in Brooklyn you can find it from friends in school yard and grades to finance bros everyone’s in competition

[@MattAngiono]

I don't see how someone who believes that one hour of his time is worth 40,000 of someone else's is in any way in alignment with WIN-WIN.... he kinda seems like a narcissistic psychopath. No normal person who believes in fairness or the good of society could say such a thing with zero shame attached to it. I think you could find a lot better guests if you want a podcast that's supposed to be about mutually beneficial interaction.

[@iffy1533]

We need phil helmuth!!

[@halcyon7005]

He appears to have a fundamental focus on greed and a secondary focus on spreading abundance if any. The framing of making 10k times more than the next guy as being a sign of how much more valuable his time is, sounds like reframing greed as a way to deal with low self-esteem. Maybe his care for his friends is genuine. I tend to agree with him on the bailouts, but he sounds like he wouldn't have done different if he was on the receiving end of the lobbyists. Money money money. And his wife sounds like another task on his list. And you sound like he wants you to be another notch on his belt...but you knew that. Hopefully I've got him all wrong. Very interesting guest either way. This is a great view into this world. You really ask great questions.

This dude made me pause and go to pee twice when I didn't need to just because he looks like he's ready to burst.

Drop the intro music, when announcing the guest.

[@packardsonic]

As long as we have to earn our survival by out performing others we can't have a win-win society. This is hard to swallow but it is the simple truth. There is no win-win in king of the hill. There is no win-win in musical chairs. Only if we commit to meeting everyone's needs, not just those of the people we like or deem good and worthy, only then can we escape the dog eat dog rat race to the bottom that leads us to destroy the environment and sell our souls to the devil (or Moloch). No this doesn't mean we have to give up our freedom and have the a government control everything. Freedom is a human need too, so we can't do that. But we do have to continuously raise awareness about the importance of meeting people's needs unconditionally and teach people how to organize networks that do just that. Gift networks, resource banks (like libraries but of any object), public tool sheds and workshops, food sharing systems, carpooling groups, safe hitchhiking (uploading licence and photo to social media), repair parties etc. Any one person can radically transform their city and the world simply by fostering free collaboration like this and taking this task as seriously as their job.

[@-Dekeita-]

Okay I can buy into the comparison to insurance. He's between the banks and the buyer because he's a specialist on where the price of this one commodity is going. But what happens with AI? Does the job just not exist cause the bank AI gets the information itself? Or am I misunderstanding something here. I mean assuming all other things being equal, and the economic system being basically the same as it is now

[@Paul_Oz]

he's a speculator. does nothing but introduce volatility into the market and charge rent on their capital.

[@VasifAbilov]

You need bring in Daniel Negreanu! You two would have very interesting conversations!

[@RamezNathan25]

On second thought, he is obsessively talking about women and this is just an idea, the podcast is great but I hope you don't stop making your won material. You communicate science better than anyone else. Hope you find the time to do both in parallel

[@abidingdude222]

Camera angle could've been adjusted higher, even if just a little bit... LOL

1:58:07 Goodharts law in a way?

[@michaelsbeverly]

1:45 No, no, no....the hookers and blow come after you get divorced, not before you marry. Wasting all your good experiences when you're young and dumb is backwards. You can't even appreciate a good hooker until you've been through a decade plus of marriage, raised some kids, and then gone through a nasty divorce (or two).

[@fire17102]

"Live with Fulfillment" I'd love to hear that one ps- kids' movies are one of the worst programming out there - wrapped in suger and colors. Take your kids to nature instead 🌈💜 thanks WinWin

I dont get star loving yuk i see tat as a sign of weakness

[@theShadeslayer]

This might not be the right choice for you, but personally I'd like it if you made a separate podcast channel to post podcasts on. I would like to see your videos in my subscription feed, but I listen to podcasts on Spotify, not KZbin, so I'm having to consider unsubscribing to this channel to declutter the podcasts from my subscription feed. Idk, maybe this is such a niche issue it may not be worth the change, just wanted to share the feedback.

[@kayganbritt]

I did enjoy this podcast, but I am turned off by the loud screaming and cursing. Also PTSD blocks are actually physical as well as mental. This is the stigma of PTSD, you can not move over or around trauma: you must move through it… and the more you weigh the harder it is. Please know I am advocating for people with undiagnosed PTSD, who would not be into this. 😢 I played shit tons of poker in college, but I learned how to have a conversation without using curse words out of respect for people in general. As the mother of a 4 year old I don’t like hearing you say “Shut the fuc* up.” People with undiagnosed PTSD will not respond to this. Trust me I understand all the words you are saying, I am not trying to be smarter than you, and I don’t think I am the most beautiful girl in the world. Also, I have my own money 😂. Please keep raising awareness for this mental health crisis ❤💜❤️‍🩹
