Ryan Holiday's definition of Stoicism reminded me of the tale of Lazarus from the beginning of the movie "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?". Lazarus says, "You shall seek a fortune, and you shall find a fortune, but the fortune you find is not the one you seek." I think the modern day counterpart to that bit of wisdom is, "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth."
What I've observed is that Stoicism emphasizes directing our attention to what we can manage, such as our spending habits. It encourages us to master our finances rather than allowing them to control us.
The drug analogies and self agggrandizing are indeed the two primary reasons I come to the PROF! Cant get it anywhere else. And then occasionally take a tidbit like buying the news of salesforce and turn it into 10 percent 😀
Technically speaking Llama is "open weights" meaning anyone can use (with restrictions). "Open source" would require them to provide the source code and training data that you can (with sufficient compute) reproduce.
How much of the increase in housing costs is AirBnB and corporations / investors purchasing single family homes? (I agree NIMBY is at least part of the issue, but, other changes have occurred as well)
In New Zealand, the average price of houses is north of NZ$900,000, but the average individual income is around NZ$75,000. If people don’t have family support for a deposit, they can’t afford housing. It’s like chasing a rainbow. I feel for young people. It’s demoralizing.
The other phenomenon that is now occurring is the commandeering of housing supply by huge investment firms that is bidding up home prices and rents in addition to a restricted supply. Get rid of the local red tape, provide some incentive for this to happen through infrastructure support for water and waste treatment, roads etc and this may also take some inflationary pressure off. The problem is truly a crisis and adding to growing public discontent.
Came back to the episodes to share the realization that if China was to attempt an invasion of Taiwan (the place that makes 90+% of the chips that AI depends). What then will be the outsized effect on the us stock market? 😳

@jimbojimbo6873 if the criticism is coming from someone who makes money off of talking people out of buying the thing that they don’t make money on, then you can absolutely ignore their criticism, because you can’t trust it.
Scott is wrong about saying that those different AI companies could be sold for any value. Once a model is trained, it is trained. It's pointless to buy a company with a model and try to change it. So the loser actually is worthless, no point on buying it. Talents can just be shuffled between winners (if any), that's all.
I could live in rural areas or the far out suburbs where the big excitement of the month is heading to the local strip mall but I'd rather be within commuting distance to a city.

Diff stratosphere. Anyone who thinks differently is small minded or refuses to see reality for what it is because it's easier to call someone a fanboy and go w the popular crowd. Real investors/founders know the diff between the caliber of entrepreneurs they are. I'm not a Scott hater either and really like Ed. I'm just saying... Ppl need to know when to stay in their lane

Scott and Ryan, You have an opportunity to platform a candidate that is a practicing stoic. Scott you declined and Ryan you may not agree with his policies. Have courage and invite RFK JR to your podcasts. Challenge his stoicism. Have courage and justice.
"I've never been qualified to do anything I've ever done" love that line...thanks!
Fascinating

Loved the guest today with Ryan Holiday and the great questions from Ed and Scott. Another great episode by Prof G media.
This was a great episode. Thank you.
great discussions y'all.
current. relevant. moral. valuable. informative. enriching. big picture fine.
I love how ProfG has has to premise his opening joke with 'true story Ed....'😂❤
Ed "True Story, Ed" Elson 😂
Love the pod.
Why Scott's beard looks like the grooming machine had no battery halfway through 😂

Good guest today.

This guy is okay he should have a podcast.
Hey Scott love your stuff. Headed to Marleyborne next Saturday any places you would recommend. Cheers
Spot on about the England fans
virtue above all!

Is that in Northshore, Auckland or somewhere in Dunedin?
Didn't the markets react the same to 'Cloud'? Before that the 'internet and chips'. Shiny new objects basically held up long term💎

What about 4 years spent in a hospital taught me was that:
"Philosophy was making sport of boredom".

"I don't care if I CAN do this, it is wrong so I WILL NOT do this"
Yeah, we definitely need more of that.

Adore the licky licky pet joke. It's a joke Thursday ("debate") after hearing quite a few on "Handsome" podcast. 'Covering' that department too guys!
Still laughing over the dog joke. I love this show.

Houses are only affordable if you don't have to live near major cities
Living is affordable if you don’t have to eat, or breathe.
But that is where the big salaries are
I could live in rural areas or the far out suburbs where the big excitement of the month is heading to the local strip mall but I'd rather be within commuting distance to a city.
Airport important. Cosmo feel is important.to young/singles. The FOOD!
Lol I love how butthurt Scott is over Elon and how Ed just backs him up cause he's his boss. Emotional 😂
Well that’s your perspective on the matter at least. Let me guess… you’re an Elon fanboy?

Canada is complaining about median income being about $65k under Trudeau. He's doing better than US at about $43k. From what I read.
USD is worth almost twice the CAD. 43k USD is worth significantly more than 65k CAD

An environmentalist is someone that already has their cabin in the woods and doesn’t want neighbors.
I would have to be a stoic to live with the horizontal books - strangely painful to me. Possibly more disturbing than colour blocking books.

jumping on this stream as its the latest
trying to bring you back to Elon
kinda love your show and love Elon

Why so much hate for Elon ?
Why did i think you'd call me the ugliest dog. Truesay, my name wouldn't sound musplaced in reference to pets.
Make Homes Happen Again!
You lost me when you called him a philosopher.
scott is what we call a champagne socialist
