Mike Merrill: Human IPOs, NFTs, ConstitutionDAO, Military, Plato and growing up in a town of population 10
<p>With Bitcoin, it feels like a lot of the early adoption around that was as a counter to what was happening in the United States economically with the financial crash and fiat currency being used by the government to prop certain people up and not others.

John Coogan: Big Tobacco, YC, Theranos, Marxism, Memetics, entrepreneurship and civilization
<p>What really makes me pause at this point is not that someone has that unique of a thought process, it's that they've been able to distill it in a really memorable way, like Dawkins memetics. Like the idea of being on your deathbed and having no regrets; that's a very basic concept. I feel like a lot of people throughout history have had that idea, but Jeff Bezos put it into The Regret Minimization Framework and that sticks. -- John Coogan</p> <p><strong>SHOW NOTES</strong></p> <p>03:32 - Introduction<br> 04:40 - Big tobacco and the end of cigarettes<br> 07:00 - Society needs Einstein's as well as generalists and those building different knowledge sets<br> 11:10 - From high school rivals to co-founders <br> 14:17 - Fake it till you make it in silicon valley<br> 18:02 - Distilling complex ideas like Jeff Bezos and Paul Graham<br> 21:30 - I had an empty calendar and read books for weeks in YC<br> 24:57 - America should have a very high customer satisfaction rate<br> 30:17 - At what point did Theranos become a fraud?<br> 35:25 - The main Marxist critique is capitalists are well off than workers<br> 40:16 - We don't have enough founders working on multi-decade problems<br> 43:21 - The second-order effects of building tech infrastructure<br> 45:21 - There's lack of fragmentation in the college education market<br> 51:40 - 3 books that will have a huge impact on civilization </p> <p>-------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p>You can connect with John here (https://twitter.com/johncoogan)</p> <p>Check out his Youtube here --> https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnCooganPlus</p> <p>My DMs are open for conversations (https://twitter.com/AbhishekLpd)</p>
