Bought his book. I've read it at least 3 times.

At the srart of this conversation, 9/11 was mentioned; I have been disappointed in the over-all responses to that event. There was no conversation about why it happened, or exploration into 'terrorist' mentality; their side of the story.

It is not in the Chinese psyche to dominate the world, it strives for prosperity and world harmony.

Aliens are more likely to be real than god/Jesus & religion is...😮

Interesting interview. There is certainly a lot of political angst and distrust of the system in general right now. The S&P 500 has gone up like crazy throughout the entire 2010’s, a time which felt like a silent depression for many working age adults and recent grads. Rents kept rising, homelessness kept rising and wages went nowhere for most. Applying for jobs was a nightmare during that decade as so many listings were either fake (not really hiring) or had 1 job with many thousands of applicants and sent many people through job tests and endless rounds of interviews wasting their time. Then the covid lockdowns hit, government checks and QE flew, and the stock market started soaring with valuations that were already insane. The stock market has always been a Keynes beauty contest rather than a fundamentals-based weighing machine, but the divorce from fundamentals was so stark it really just became a casino - to a similar extent as it was when Al Capone called it a racket in the 1920’s. Instead of bucket shops run by mobsters like horse race betting, it was gamified trading apps. I still consider Tesla the first meme stonk, and I still wonder why no one ever mentions the big bets done by Softbank in spamming call options. Whatever the case, you really have to consider that Costco with a P/E of 54 or NVidia tripling in 6 months to become the 2nd highest valued stock with a P/E of 77 makes just as much sense as the valuations of crypto coins, NFT’s, or dying businesses turned to meme stonks. Functionally, it is all a casino today where “Investors” either dump money into cap-weighted index funds that all crowd into a small number of stocks, or they invest based on momentum because value investing died out. A decade of cash flowing out of value funds into index funds meant value stocks dumped and never recovered while the top stocks soared on momentum-based inflows.

Dude didn’t learn 😂

as always he is struggling to prove his thesis learned from dead economists. inflation reduction and real interest rate reductions during the last 25 years were due to globalization and free capital flows. the real issue that he and others of same view will NOT talk about is the income inequalities that cause the public debt to increase, it's baked into the cake via institutional tax law etc. two income imbalances are unsustainable: 1 foreign - current account deficits and 2. domestic - returns to labor vs capital. fix these and public deficits will go away. this is political thus the difficulty in change until crisis. until then we will see larger public deficits and a divergence between goods & services inflation (gdp) and asset inflation (stocks up, home prices up) and homeless will grow.

Hopefully this compensation package will fail. Giving Musk stock options worth more than Tesla has ever made in profits would be economically insane. But I'm not very optimistic about that, as it seems to be a typical symptom of our "post-modern" economy - valuing the market cap far more than the fundamentals of a company. What worries me most is not the irrationality of retail investors in this regard - they've always been irrational. It's the irrationality of corporate investors that I don't understand, of which Tesla is just one example, others being "platform companies" such as Uber, Airbnb or WeWork. It seems that sustainable business models are no longer a primary concern for investors.

rather Big Cojones, I am happy that the kids who only talked about crypto before now they have more wisdom.

Surgical, razor sharp, devastating analysis.

6 years ago, you shared some very relative thoughts to 2024 & AI

Instead of being discontent… Start your own business…it’s coming out…it’s his ambition and his idea …crybaby

How was this delusional Democrat able to get any votes?!! Is there something bad in the water in her district? She's so bad, I laughed out loud on her ridiculous answers!

The inconvenient truth is, in the 1970’s, the US courted and won over China to its side, as a counter weight against the Soviet Union during the so-called Cold War 1. As a price, US pledged “there is but one China and that Taiwan is part of China” in the 1972 Shanghai Communiqué. US swiftly abandoned Taiwan (Republic of China) by switching recognition to the communist China (People Republic of China). After winning the “Cold War 1”, during the next two decades US multinationals reaped enormous benefits by using China as a low-cost production base, like what they had done with smaller East Asian countries previously, and now trying to do the same with Vietnam (yes, also run by communists) and India (governed by the increasingly authoritarian Modi). Cheap imports from China, at the expense of Chinese laborers’ health and environmental degradation gave rise to the Great Moderation, a period of low inflation and prosperity in the US that ran from Clinton years until the self-inflicted Sub-Prime Crisis and Great Recession in 2007-09. As it becomes prosperous, China is no longer content playing the US sweatshop. Faced with an increasingly assertive China, which could not be pushed around like the little brother Japan did in the 1980s, the US tune has changed once again. Every US action over the past century smack of self-interest, selfishness and hypocrisy!

The R in idea is silent.

i discover Mr Napier a few days ago, and I like that he is an economist who develops models to explain reality not fits reality to a theoretical model.

It’s coming at us fast. Excellent interview thanks.

Fantasy land, but i did like his book Superintelligence. We are heading for Mad Max but there will be islands of the super-rich who have managed to accumulate wealth by destroying value from every other useful endeavor of human existence that is not "AI buzzword".

Yap, AI will be used for only good 🤣🤣🤪🤡

It’s already too late for US to win a conventional war against China

Individual realities sound like a nightmare. I strongly suspect that despite generational differences there will continue to be extroverts and introverts. Most AI-related thinkers like Nick come across as the type of people who don't like dealing with other people, so the meme of the individual reality is appealing to them. The mistake they make is thinking that if you make a virtual reality that "satisfied" all of a person's optimal expectations they will by definition like it no matter whether they are an introvert or extrovert. As an extrovert I talk to other people at a bar or a party because sometimes it's weird and uncomfortable, because other people ask me questions I don't expect, and because I don't know what my optimal expectations are - a customized virtual reality is by definition something I would loathe.

"Solved World" nonsense

I always wondered how Shodan would come into existence.

I am always interested in learning Italy's geopolitical strategy from late 19th century to early 20th century.

This analysis is simply outstanding

Gingeras known with his bias towards Greece which can be seen at this podcast a lot.

中国产品靠性 价 比取得客户信任

*Tesla China is NOT THE MAJORITY OF TESLA IT'S 30% this guy is a complete LIAR* 😂😂😂😂

*Repressive policy of China, HaHa, America prosecutes political rivals also, Russian Collusion hoax by Democrats that fabricated a dirty dossier.* 😂🎉😂🎉😂

*This guy is full of crap FSD can now drive from your garge to the car park at a shopping centre parking itself, parralel parking, smart summon and banish happening.* 😂😂😂😂

Haters are gonna hate.

Elon is getting paid nothing! He will have the option to buy shares at a discounted agreed price. The shares are already waiting for Elon to buy them.

Time for a Hedera update...please

You should do an update interview with Leemon soon. Great first interview, needs a part 2.

Stop it! You are wasting everyone's time.

This is an interesting watch. A lot of their charges are legitimate concerns about a company struggling to survive and grow. It's interesting to me how much vitriol there is though. The mission of the companies is to improve things for the world: reducing reliance on fossil fuels; developing the technology for interstellar travel etc and they just trash it as 'idiotic' and use Elon's lack of university degrees to prove their points. It's a sad little cesspool that lawrence and gordon and demetri wallow in. I will say that it is easy to see how wrong they were in hindsight. It's hard to predict the future and especially to believe it. Even today, in 2024, it is hard to imagine where Tesla's many industries will end up. It's easy to trash it and say they will never work (autonomous driving, optimus, solar). Only time will tell. And by the way, I've looked up Lawrence Fossi's articles and I can't see any stories about Trevor Milton and Nikola Motors. Here is a CEO who ended up being convicted of fraud and I don't see his 'in depth' analysis of that. I guess is doesn't make enough money or get enough clicks.

NOW ON LIFE SUPPORT: There is intensive mind control taking place using AI maliciously through satellite and biochemical warfare by supremacists, terrorists and communists. Please report to the highest level of governing bodies and intelligence agencies. I have been poisoned, harassed physically and mentally, raped by lesbians and ignored by the police, agencies and churches nationally as have my children. I and am under constant attack from my government and international WOKE military

TSLA price increased by 20x since the compensation plan, Elon wouldn't get anything if the price didn't go up. So he totally deserves to work for free for the past 5 years. Who wouldn't work for free creating hundreds of billions in value for shareholders?

StarLink over an embargoed area was legally not allowed to be on and was never “on”. Spreading FUD about Elon deciding to “turn it off” during an operation is simply not what happened but easy to smear Elon.

Elon did the impossible. He deserves his bonus.

Elon is a net positive to this world. His achievements stand for themselves… go land a rocket pal

I disagree that the war was always just a matter of time due to Russia's intent on dominating their near abroad. Recall that the Russians consistently and in good faith attempted diplomatic offramps to the Ukraine issue. The real problem is that we are intent on denying Russia a sphere of influence while expanding our sphere of influence into Russia's. When the people of the DP/LPR wanted to exercise their will to liberty we backed Kiev's war on them, when the people of Kosovo did, we chose to back the separatists that time instead. The consistent lowest common denominator is the expansion of Western interests and leverage into other regional hegemonies.

The level of contempt this guy has for Elon is hilarious. "Nooo! You're doing capitalism wrong Elon! That's not sound board governance! That's not fair!" If you don't like the stock, just don't buy it.

Elon is a fraud. He’s not a genius, he didn’t start Tesla, he barely knows anything about physics and is a narcissistic sociopathic doofus who needs to be ousted from Tesla before it collapses like a house of cards. The Tesla board are money hungry leeches that are just there to stuff their pockets and it’s true they don’t do anything but agree with absolutely everything Elon says, because he’s literally paying them to do just that. They couldn’t care less if Tesla fails, they already cashed out millions in Tesla stock.

How much of a horrible c-nt must you be to fire your workers and demand 56 billion - Elon Musk

Great interview.

Lawrence Fossi like a parasite trying to build his own brand shitting on Musk. Lawrence, you will not be able to make a 10th of what Elon has done in 10 of your lifespans.

A very one-sided discussion, it would have been better to include counterarguments rather than all this straw manning.
