[@stanley19430]

Shkreli seem like a snake attempting to fool general messes. Sure, he can rationalize the comparative utility cost of epipen vs costing insurance millions of dollars for not having epipen. However, the main problem is the monopolization of the epipen market allowing his pharmacy the luxury of such comparison. Without lobbying, corruption, and monopolization, such utility comparison would not exist. We would instead have multiple companies sourcing epipen from global market competing against each other driving down cost. This is the classic example of two corrupt entities pointing finger at each other rather than reflecting the corruption itself.

[@ambitiousdoctors-mz9uw]

I usually never comment, but I've been following your podcast from a long time. I have a business of my own, and im fascinated by the way you guys interview people.

My goodness, have some respect for your guests. The hubris to tell someone who is so obviously on another level intellectually that they “f’d up” or that they’re the “class clown of society”…really? You both seemed so anxious to get your biases toward Shkreli out in the open and in such a rude way. Here is the difference between him and you guys: He has the capacity to be successful in multiple industries and has a proven track record in doing exactly that. You guys are cringey poser ‘serial entrepreneurs’ who ride the increasingly insufferable hUsTLe gRinDseT hype train while failing to produce much value outside of borderline clickbait nonsense. There is a lot of runway between posing a question like “Some may argue that you shot yourself in the foot by maintaining this outwardly bold but flippant attitude towards anyone that disagreed with you, what would you say to that?” vs. what you did through conclusively stating they did something wrong, “f’d up”, and from your high horse acting as though you have the solution to these challenges of the past. If either of you had even a tenth of the self awareness Shkreli possesses, I’d be surprised. The dude knew what he was doing and took a gamble standing on principle. I have yet to see anything which convinces me that you’ll ever know what that’s like.

As someone working in medical field, I just tested Gupta AI, advice was terrible, and at the end was, you should advise your physician. For basics medical knowledge it is ok, BUT for something more, doctors are the choice.

They will give everyone similar advice, while people have commorbidities and all other set of problems.

[@rosspitca9142]

AI is the 1st step to removing legal drug pushers/quacks.

[@Jukeboxster]

there are a myriad of pitfalls when depending on AI for medical evaluation, treatment, and follow-up. One huge pitfall I can think of is communication. the average reading level of citizens in the US is 7-8th grade. How does AI communicate effectively with someone with 5th-grade English, or lower, broken English? Not effectively in my estimation, and these are frequently the ones who need more affordable access to care.

Right now, people pay hundreds of dollars a month for it. But what if one day, the insurance companies say, ALRIGHT WERE NOT PAYING FOR IT. And people like Martin are at the helm of these companies… you think they’ll make it AFFORDABLE? No, they’ll do everything they can to maximize profit AT THE SAKE OF CUSTOMERS LIVES. I think if your family’s lives or your own were at risk, you’d have a different perspective…

[@GbawlZ]

He's obviously very well-spoken and articulate, but I see why views he has made him public enemy no. 1 at the time. His view on pricing for drugs makes sense from a market standpoint, but there are 365 million people in the country, most of whom are living paycheck to paycheck, and many of whom do not have health insurance through their employers. When they unexpectedly find out they have a disease, they are forced to go into debt they will never overcome just to treat it and continue living their lives with their loved ones. On the other hand, I don't think it should be the burden of private companies, who are obligated to make money for shareholders, to reduce their prices just for the sake of doing the right thing. The difference between those two equally reasonable positions needs to be covered by the government in some fashion. How that would look, I don't know, but life-saving medications need to be attainable to the lower and middle classes without financially ruining them -- $300k is a figure that would put the majority of people into insurmountable debt for life. The government has a responsibility to see to it that people do not die unnecessarily from otherwise treatable diseases simply because they can't afford to get treatment. I've never voted for a Democrat in my life by the way and I fully support Austrian Economics and the free markets, but there are some areas where governments have responsibilities to maintain or increase the average lifespans of its citizens over time. No one should be starving to death because they can't afford food -- which they don't here thankfully -- and no one should be dying because they are allergic to peanut butter and couldn't afford an Epi-Pen. The problem with Elon and Martin is that they're on the Autism spectrum and can't understand that they're severely deficient in messaging. If he simply had a PR professional addressing the media, or a lawyer, he may have stayed out of jail. He literally talked himself into jail.

The idea that the cost isn't to the patient but os to the insurance company is asinine. Insurance companies rely on a pool. Who puts up the money for the pool, the patient and other patients. If the pool runs dry what does the insurance company do? They increases prices on the insured. Insurance companies like banks don't use their own money to pay for things. So yes the cost ultimately is passed on to the patient and everyday people and that's for those with insurance.

This moment is both a learning opportunity and a bittersweet reflection. As a parent of a child with severe peanut allergies, I remember being unable to afford the $500 EpiPen to protect my child from potentially fatal allergic reactions. Over the years, Americans have had to deal with patented drugs or drug delivery systems that have become unaffordable. Is Martin Shkreli considered intelligent because he exploited the healthcare system at the expense of those who desperately needed these medications. Or maybe it's Mark Cuban who is intelligent for finding ways to increase access to medications at affordable prices. While some might argue this is simply American capitalism at work, we must question whether profit should come before people's lives. Just because something is legal doesn't make it right.

I think the flaw in his logic is that setting the price of medicine isn't analogous to setting the price of a podcast. The cost of certain goods is more regulated because it comes closer to being considered a human right, like housing, Pharma, water, and basic foods. That doesn't mean he should be the only one the regulations should apply to or that he should be regulated by embarassment.

@@berniesanders8344 Most people think there's a category of basic rights we should guarantee for our citizens, whether by collectively subsidizing the costs or regulating profitable industries. You don't apparently because ??? ("Someone has to build the homes?"). But that's the argument. Genius.

Martin is so misunderstood. Not a bad guy really if you listen to him.

[@divpolitics9520]

The audio editing is way way way too much, tone it down please.

[@Ajay_Cheema]

Lovey this episode. What’s up with the audio?

[@Essays4College]

How do you just "find assets" like that? It's one thing to know about pharma companies and trading them but it's a whole other thing to starting a biotch company and making 7 figures. I'd like to hear about THAT part of it.

[@firstspar]

Big fan of Martin, hugely misunderstood. Looking forward to this one - cheers guys!

[@kwkarol]

How the f@ck is he misunderstood? He was convicted for spiking a price of lifesaving drug by 5,000% for no other reason but greed. But hey, at least he seems nice in an interview...

@@kwkarol 😂 I love this response. It is like a big sticker on someone's forehead reading 'I am an idiot'.

[@gabelincoln3608]

@@kwkarol you’re such an idiot he was not convicted of that. He was convicted for fraud, which had nothing to do with that had to do with his hedge fund.

@@kwkarol He didn't face any time in prison for the drug price hike, every Pharma exec does it and nobody went without the drug as a result. He was arrested for securities fraud in the hedge funds mentioned in this video. You, my friend, are an absolute fool.

my biggest issue with technology has always being this: you need power to get internet, and power for the cloud infrastructure, and as well as AI now. What is going to happen when there is no power anymore!
