Naval Ravikant | The Most Important Skill To Get Rich - And Debunking The Lies [with Charlie Munger]

📙 Get my (free) 80-page Ebook - pickingnuggets.org/
I share 23 powerful Nuggets from top Influential Doers (in their own words), with added 🎆 visuals (to make it super easy to understand) and my own 💭 reflections.
---------
Naval Ravikant is asked by a 21-year old (with no money) what he should do in order to get rich. For not spoiling you the video, I will just say that it has to do with a behavior that implies delayed gratification and thinking in a non-linear way (we humans are biased to think linearly, so is not easy).

✎ End Notes ✎
Work Ethic doesn't matter. You can work as hard as possible and Not get rich. --- So, getting rich is not about pure Hard Work. But if Hard Work is directed in the right way, then it matters.
(Getting Rich) is about knowing What to do, When to do it, and with Whom to do it. It is about understanding. Once you figure this out, the next is about executing the path --- which will probably require the hard work.
But as we see, hard work comes implicitly by figuring out a path/destination. Don't do the hard work for its own sake, that would be a waste of time.
This is why the most important skill for becoming rich is to be a perpetual learner. Become a good learner and don't be intimidated by any book.
And when feeling confuse during the learning sessions --- That's OK. Your brain is like a muscle, and it means that is being"trained".
Foundation of "axioms" (based on full truth) are critical for learning and interpreting new information. So, when developing the "axioms" make sure you are consuming high quality information.
How do we make sure that our foundation is high quality?
1. Stick to Hard Science, Mathematics, MicroEconomics and the "basics". Why? There is no disagreement between people in these areas, so they are solid foundations. e.g./ Arithmetics and geometry (instead of complicated calculus), Microeconomics (instead of Macroeconomics), ….
2. Read the Classics on timeless topics. Evolution? Charles Darwin. Economics? Adam Smith.
Once you acquire the solid foundations, you won't fear any book, and will have the confidence to learn anything you want. And the more you learn, the more options you will have on how to make money. Because you can understand new trends in society (where is the demand, value...).
" If you are a perpetual learning machine, you will never be out of options on how to make money"

I wasn't expecting to agree with the point about reading the right things in the wrong order. As soon as he said that I rolled my eyes, but after he explained the part about having an incorrect foundation/worldview, I was completely on board. Smart guy.

In the right order gives a plotted trajectory of prior discoveries and then a projection forward about where things may be going next.

Knowing what to do, when to do and whom to it with will make you rich. Getting fundamentals right, like mathematics and science and micro economics is very important in life. Being a perpetual learner will make you rich. There shouldn't be a book which scares you no matter what the age.

[@bhaveshartsy7805]

Nothing is actually wrong... it's time... but you got experience, right. you can use those experiences now.

[@jefftreadwell5167]

Thanks for this. Great content. Just one observation: Naval has highly recommended David Deutsch in the past. DD believes that in scientific matters in particular it is in fact not recommended to go to the original source (Darwin, Einstein, etc.) because our current understanding has improved considerably, and the original authors aimed their explanations at their contemporary peers.

[@PickingNuggets]

Thank you :) And thanks for the comment, the statement makes sense

[@SamirPatnaik]

This statement is true by no means.

[@ANKITSHARMA-tn6fl]

Give this some thought: Original work will also give you an appreciation of the fact that things that we think are the facts but then time and more evidence (thanks to science) has the ability to nullify it over time. You'll miss this when you'll read what is a fact right now.

[@jefftreadwell5167]

@@ANKITSHARMA-tn6fl Excellent observation! Just to clarify, Deutsch didn’t say that one should never read the original text, just that it’s not the best starting point. So, learn contemporary Neo-Darwinism before reading On the Origin of Species, or an up to date physics textbook before Newton’s Principia.

[@joshikashyap]

This statement is true. However, my understanding of what is being said is, read the originals first, and when you have strong foundation of that, read the current sources and see how much improvements have been made to the subject. That way we can naturally grow the spirit of research-thinking mindset.

[@supriyasahu2202]

Thanks for these videos ❣️

[@jimba6486]

I think this video best explains part of the huge problem with public education. Public school isn’t designed to build strong foundations in the basics. Rather it is a mechanical crap shoot, and they set the tempo, regardless if you’re actually learning. The education system is also purposely built to catapult you into “higher education”, where you are expected to learn advanced concepts and ideas, but aren’t proficient at any of the basics. If I knew that when I was younger, oh man, I’d be really far ahead than where I want to be today at 25. Thankfully, today is a new day to start with the basics and achieve mastery later; but ultimately work toward understanding everyday. This video helped me reflect on how much I actually don’t know, but thought I did know. My circle of competence is way smaller than I thought. Thank you Naval Ravikant

Schooling is design to create obedient workers who won't rise up, not to educate.

Warren Buffett has mastered what patience looks like. He has stuck to the markets, having a long term view on the markets. This is what I'm struggling to do, trying to learn how to not react to market news about inflation and all. I have currently set aside about $253k to put in the market now that prices are down. Any ideas?

[@MIchaelGuzman737]

It takes some gut to really remain in the market despite downturns and all. So just find quality stocks that have long term potential, and ride with those stocks. I have found it takes someone who is very familiar with the market to make such good picks.

[@sommersalt88]

I agree. I have pulled in more than $1.4 million since 2020 through my advisor. It pays off more in the long run to just pick quality stocks and ride with those stocks.

The fact that he, and many others in his “cohort” time and again recommend reading Adam Smith, Mises and Hayek as foundational economics says a lot when most economists these days wouldn’t dare recommend Mises or Hayek. It’s quite telling about the economics profession when the people who actually create value espouse a much different school of thought

Maths and science are great things to know the fundamentals of, and they will undoubtedly sharpen your thinking skills, but without some kind of training in the fundamentals of philosophy and critical thinking, you won't progress much. I recommend Aristotelian philosophy for a blend of logic and experience.

[@vladmkrtumyan1660]

Great advice by Naval. I also don’t think it’s perfect though. I would say knowing what the best path is for you. People need to be careful blindly listening to everyone like Naval or Gary V who knows he doesn’t have all the answers. It’s a custom plan. It’s not even being a perpetual learner, since we all know rich people who are idiots, it’s really understanding all the different paths and the best one for you.

Karl Marx lived during a time of significat changes, where the peasants were moving into the cities and the divide was clear between the factory workers and owners. There were no labor laws, OSHA etc. That is not the case today. We have more middle class jobs that cater to other middle class folks e.g. managers, accountants, small business owners. Karl Marx is anachronistic. Just because it's a "classic" doesn't mean it's correct or applies today. Context is important.

For me, it has been learning how to invest in the companies in my country. I do dividend reinvesting. Buy 'n hold. So I keep working, but now I am content with not particularly advancing in my field of expertise. It is there because I once loved it. I still do. But it is not true that every second of every day is a passion. I earn a decent living. It pays the bills. Thank you for this video. In a video on Charlie Munger, he was shown talking about 'inanaities'. Lolapalooza's. I rewatched it a couple of times to finally understand that what he was telling his audience, was to train your mind to detect anomalies. and decide if you want to exploit them or not. Maybe he was talking about the stock market. Maybe he was talking about other things in life.
