Outstanding thinker! Hey Tim , please invite him again and ask some more questions from wider technological base?

[@marianbarchilon815]

"What do people agree on merely by convention and what is the truth." Questioning assumptions. Looking back to the future is an interesting notion. Also not mentioned in this interview but found in another context is the concept of leanness. How does one create something in the most streamlined elegant way being mindful of the efficient use of resources? Finding something unique to pursue and focusing on it. I got a novel idea once from one line in a book and decided to pursue it because it was never done before.

failure is massively overrated. Love it

[@g.o.9513]

I think this style is much better than Lex Friedman. Ask the ONE question and then shut the f*ck up! Great interview!

Me too 🔥

[@OzzyHeadshots]

Another awesome one, Ferriss. One of the reasons why I think of you as my #1 most influential teacher/mentor is because you introduce me to so many other incredible teachers/mentors. Keep going! Stay strong. Cheering for you always. Warm Regards from one of your 1,000.

Please do another interview with Thiel. His view on death is very strange imo. It’d be great to hear more about it.

[@RamosGuilherme]

I really loved the part that he talked about education

[@JitBhardwaj]

Why didn't I discover it early...

[@BlueBetaPro]

11:15 Really struck a chord with me. As a vegetarian I meet this denial mentality all the time. People just believe that there is just nothing to do and your an idiot even tough medical research shows otherwise. I think about that a lot, and it can really make me sad at times, that people respond in that way.

[@stanislavstaykov5250]

Medical research doesn't show that vegetarianism is better than a healthy diet featuring both meat and vegetables. Most studies which seem to show an improvement in health factors are concerned with people who decide to switch from the standard american diet (SAD) to a vegetarian diet. Obviously this will improve their health since they are rapidly replenishing vitamins and minerals as well as losing weight and discontinuing inflammatory fats and other toxins. However this does NOT prove that not eating meat is healthier, it only proves that vegetarianism is healthier than the SAD. In fact there are studies which point out that meat eating is healthier than vegetarianism. As for Veganism it's definitely unhealthy and there are multiple studies pointing to choline, copper, b12 and zinc deficiencies associated with veganism as well as studies that show that vegans don't have a lower incidence of heart attacks or cancer compared to people on healthy diets that including meat. It is important to note that vegans also eat some amount of meat due to autophagy. P.S. I was a vegan for 6 months, vegetarian for 10 years and now I am back to eating meat again. I know what I am talking about.

[@donatasstaneika6026]

O.G

[@great567]

I don't think we should fight ageing or death. As it is the planet can't handle the number of people living on earth. It would be a disaster if we gave birth and lived way longer.

[@Captain_MonsterFart]

Not to mention it would inevitably create some Frankenstein monster situation.

[@irfanulkarim4992]

Colonize other planets then

[@bobi9307]

The planet is abboundand that could sustain 100x people, I suppose. The mainstream narrative that we are overpopulated is bullshit. Another thing is that is being destroyed by the same people who are saying we are too much.

[@sphinx4579]

So you're basically endorsing criminal ways of doing business, stifle competition by acquiring any competitor that poses the smallest threat of eating into your profits. Google is a prime example of that.
