    Mike Merrill: Human IPOs, NFTs, ConstitutionDAO, Military, Plato and growing up in a town of population 10

    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. And I think when people are struck with a real sense of unfairness, they start to get motivated to take action --- Mike SHOW NOTES 02:54 - Introduction and how the invisible hand of the market guided my IPO 06:02 - Bitcoin and the unfairness of capitalism  08:03 - The chaos of the early internet brought people together 13:01 - Are we not going to teach people philosophy?  17:05 - NFTs are certificates of authenticity for an idea 22:35 - DAOs are online Co-ops 27:00 - Growing up in a town of population 10  30:16 - Experiencing community after a decade of isolation 33:00 - Deconstructing the military machine 37:31 - Oregon, counter-culture and small businesses vs Walmart 41:49 - Plato and sandwich 43:43 - Daily routine  46:08 - Leveraging the wisdom of the crowds 49:38 - How to operate in the fringes of technology ------------------------------------------------------------- You can connect with Mike here (https://www.mike-merrill.com/) My DMs are open for conversations (https://twitter.com/AbhishekLpd)

    John Coogan: Big Tobacco, YC, Theranos, Marxism, Memetics, entrepreneurship and civilization

    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 SHOW NOTES 03:32 - Introduction 04:40 - Big tobacco and the end of cigarettes 07:00 - Society needs Einstein's as well as generalists and those building different knowledge sets 11:10 - From high school rivals to co-founders   14:17 - Fake it till you make it in silicon valley 18:02 - Distilling complex ideas like Jeff Bezos and Paul Graham 21:30 - I had an empty calendar and read books for weeks in YC 24:57 - America should have a very high customer satisfaction rate 30:17 - At what point did Theranos become a fraud? 35:25 - The main Marxist critique is capitalists are well off than workers 40:16 - We don't have enough founders working on multi-decade problems 43:21 - The second-order effects of building tech infrastructure 45:21 - There's lack of fragmentation in the college education market 51:40 - 3 books that will have a huge impact on civilization  ------------------------------------------------------------- You can connect with John here (https://twitter.com/johncoogan) Check out his Youtube here --> https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnCooganPlus My DMs are open for conversations (https://twitter.com/AbhishekLpd)

    Sachit Gupta is THE best super-connector I know. He started with nothing almost 8 years back and has since worked with Tim Ferriss, Seth Godin, and Andrew Warner.
