5 min in and Lewis’s inability to picture a sphere on top pillars is already setting the tone for another great podcast ha!

[@thatguy6919]

Pyrion should definitely read slaughterhouse five by Kurt Vonnegut, its about someone who comes "unstuck" in time and meets fourth dimensional beings who put him in a museum and discuss how they read books, view time, and see humans, and he adopts their way of perceiving time. Heres an extended quote “The guide invited the crowd to imagine that they were looking across a desert at a mountain range on a day that was twinkling bright and clear. They could look at a peak or a bird or cloud, at a stone right in front of them, or even down into a canyon behind them. But among them was this poor Earthling, and his head was encased in a steel sphere which he could never take off. There was only one eyehole through which he could look, and welded to that eyehole were six feet of pipe. This was only the beginning of Billy's miseries in the metaphor. He was also strapped to a steel lattice which was bolted to a flatcar on rails, and there was no way he could turn his head or touch the pipe. The far end of the pipe rested on a bi-pod which was also bolted to the flatcar. All Billy could see was the little dot at the end of the pipe. He didn't know he was on a flatcar, didn't even know there was anything peculiar about his situation. The flatcar sometimes crept, sometimes went extremely fast, often stopped--went uphill, downhill, around curves, along straightaways. Whatever poor Billy saw through the pipe, he had no choice but to say to himself, 'That's life.”

Lewis was correct,, a 4D being can see all of 3D being in its entirety just like we can see a 2d square inside and outside lying in a 2d plane. Time is a temporal dimension not spacial one.

Doesn’t mean they couldn’t see time. Certain animals can see sound and heat. In 4D time could be easier to “see”

[@jorie70]

Great to hear you guys talk about vague things like higher dimensions. Quick note, a 4d being WOULD be able to see inside us, as in he would have a Birdseye view of the 3d dimension, seeing all of volume at one's. You have to remember that we only see a 2d snapshot (projection) representation of a 3d world, that's the whole reason we don't see insides, it's abstructed. A good way of grasping this is by looking at lower dimensions, a flatlander does not see the inside of a square, he just sees a 1d line (or 1d projection of that world), but we (3d beings) CAN see the inside and all sides of that square at ones.

[@alfredhadesworth9253]

27:22 What kind of jobs can you do online though? Really? NONE of them realize how ironic it is to question that?

[@sablesoul]

TSLA's valuation is because tech stocks have heavily skewed almost all analysis to be purely speculative. It doesn't matter if they make money right now as long as it looks like they might make a lot of money later. This is the basis for all rideshare and nearly all social media stocks right now other than FB. Look at stuff like NIO, FCEL, and other Electric Vehicle stocks in the past two months. They all got pumped and dumped like mad. Traditional analysis (such as P/E ratio and balance sheets) no longer really matter. You can make 10% in a year on a solid safe company or ride up 50% on a volatile tech stock that even if it were to drop 30% later, you would still have doubled your gain from traditional investing.

[@pr0f4t85]

My favorite time of the week!

[@Samedayservice1]

You 100% can live off the dividends of 1mil. Take half of that and throw it in a monthly dividend stock at like 5$ a share and a 6.c payout every month. That’s 100k shares paying you 6k a month. That’s 72k a year. And that’s assuming you don’t reinvest any of the dividends. And you still have half a mil sitting around.

[@elahem6940]

Company's aren't worth how much they profit, a big part of their worth is the cumulative value of their stock and the stock is valued at whatever people are willing to pay for a share on the open market.

[@danhelll8768]

Pyrion saying he is reading Bullshit Jobs made me incredibly happy

[@skarrambo1]

Pyrion is right - Dark Waters is pretty boring, but interesting because it's based on a true story. If you want a great film, based on a great true story, that's also set in West Virginia, check out October Sky, and learn the story of the rocket boys, from a Company Town in West Virginia. It stars a young Jake Gyllenhaal, Laura Dern, and Chris Cooper. It's an 11/10 film. If you love the story, check out the novel on which it's based, by the protagonist Homer Hickham, also called October Sky - but was originally published as Rocket Boys. It's on UK Netflix currently.

[@CurtisOvard]

25 minutes in, they are speaking the truth. You go to certain HomeDepot's (hardware store) and there are people hanging out that people hire for day labor.

[@thecob2724]

Came here to say this, its not coffee shops, but hardware stores.

What Sips is saying about "$10 million being the new $1 million" is the right idea, but in reality, roughly $2.04 million is the new million given average inflation rates, beginning in 1990. However, I have heard that $3 million is the new rule of thumb so who knows.

[@devourerofsouls4680]

A company doesn’t need to make a profit to be worth something. Tesla makes a lot of money but they also spend a lot of money. They have a high gross profit but a low net profit. This is because they spend most of their money on R and D and capital purchases, not on transactions necessary to keep operating. Instead of giving their money to shareholders as a dividend they reinvest it in themselves so they can expand quickly. The thing about capital expenditure is that you still have that asset once you’ve bought it. If you really need to, you can sell that asset if you’re out of cash. Banks are so willing to lend them money because of this as well. If Tesla is unable to repay a loan in cash, banks are able to seize their assets and sell them off. That’s why they are worth so much money when they don’t make much of a profit.

I would have thought pyrion would have a concept of market cap/value or its maybe me just assuming because a boring accountant. Marke value of a company doesn't necessarily come from revenue, value is defined by the assets the business holds. A business(s) like Elon Musks derives value through R&D, bespokely valued assets and good management of cash flows as opposed to pure revenue generation. Profit is not equal to cash flow.
