George if you really want to start a movement to help transform society you'll need to connect the hearts and minds (seek, find & grow their potential) which I call the Human Spirit. Currently consumer consumption economy feeds on Human Nature instead of the Human Spirit. Human Nature breeds meaning in materialism & leading to emptiness. We are in the times of highest standard of living yet mental health issues are at an all time high. Regarding those asking you for advice, you don’t need to when, you can teach them how to think for themselves to come up with their own solutions. The good long time solution is assembling people not based on ideology, but based on intellectually honest people who are openminded enough to listen & understand thought process outside their bubble. Intellectually honest thought leaders having meaningful discourse to find pragmatic solutions isn’t happening anywhere. I believe the public which is losing trust in institutions is starving for this. Joe Rogan & Lex Friedman partially do this but don’t have actual discourse with competing ideas. We are missing meaningful dialogue in a time things seems to be getting more chaotic & unstable. This would draw people with the best ideas & develop into something unique & impactful. Of course you will have to ignore the not so bright NPCs who just want to spew their propaganist talking points. e/acc has to be built on a foundation that hits the hearts & minds of decent people who want to be part of fixing society but don’t see their place in it. I believe if it’s focus is on the Human Spirt instead of materialism feeding into Human Nature it will become a movement that feeds into itself. Their is plenty more to this like mapping reality with media to make it more tranparent for all. Or coming up with hypothetical ideals & working backwards to achieve them. If done right you could have a platform just as big as Lex Friedman & working with the best minds to come up with real world solutions benefitting the majority.
Hey man be careful, we gone set you up to be the new Edward Louis Bernays bro. Yes, we because the public will push you towards it and the us will, you already hacked and met their power bro. Frfr don't world fair us. Please I'm already a nigga, the power will just revert to baseline
I don't agree with what George said that what happens in the US doesn't affect you if you live in another country. Whatever happens in the US usually happens in other countries too a few years later. Nowadays that delay has become much smaller, especially in English speaking countries.
Yeah, I share your sentiment. I assume because he lives in the United States, he doesn’t fully understand how greatly affected we are by what’s happening there.
Oh my god, it affects the world so much it's just crazy! Though Americans don't acknowledge that and they also don't understand their system as much as outsiders do from a bird eyes view. He has not lived in a culture outside the US so he doesn't really understand all that.
Gwern (which I know George reads) has an article called "Improvements since the 1990s" where he makes a point that people tend to focus too much on scientific or technological breakthrough (which ordinary people usually don't benefit much from, at least in short term) and not too much on small, incremental improvements
The problem with the kind of incremental changes Gwern describes is that incremental change "adds up" but is probably asymptotic with a ceiling and doesn't get us the step change in civilization that we really want and need. After all, what did Gwern use the extra space on his desk for? He says it's now occupied by his cats. As for what ordinary people would benefit from in the immediate to short term? An order of magnitude decrease in energy costs; a cure for cancer; cheap desalination, and so on.
George is falling into the same mindset as the climate radicalists. He is essentialy envoking a non-existent collapse. I do appreciate the ideas, and a vision to reach new heights. Fear however is a constant, we shouln't try to rationalize it too much.
The analogy with climate radicalism isn't apt. We know, historically, that great civilizations eventually decline. George's (and Jonathan Blow's) questions have been something like: If you were in the Roman Empire (or Mesopotamia?), how would you detect that it was in decline? Having detected the decline, how would you correctly diagnose it and what would you be able to do about it?
If we exclude climate radicalists and only include respectable scientists with a phd. How would it look on a chart? Empirical evidence and data analysis should probably drive the conversation over gut feeling? Fear is a non quantifiable, abstract metric.
@@B0tch0The fact you think having a PhD, of any kind, is the pinnacle of intellectual achievement, and earnestly posted your belief in attempt to persuade others on a George Hotz video is hilarious. I got a paper you should read, it’s written by a respectable, PhD holding, senior researcher at Stanford’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. Surely his titles and credentials satisfy the requirements you laid out. Having decades of experience in cutting edge experimental physics and chemistry research. He should have a decent enough grasp on the fundamental mathematic principles, and scientific collection methods, underpinning the development of a highly accurate and precise model of a complex system occurring within reality. Title of the publication: “Propagation of Error and the Reliability of Global Air Temperature Projections” Author: Patrick Frank You should really read it.
Turn on the red squiggles! It's spelled "evoking" not "envoking". Evoking something implies that something didn't exist before, hence no need to tack on "non-existent". It would be pointless nitpicking to point out those errors, but in the context of telling someone they're wrong without an explanation, it makes you look like a functioning illiterate.
Yes I love the "format" - everything that separates from a produced video. 95% of youtube content should be like this. I haven't found another person talking to the camera like this recently..
George you know better! The US is falling behind in the sciences because the federal research budgets have shrunk significantly in the past 50 years by right wingers. Private industry has failed to make up the difference despite receiving huge subsidies and tax breaks. Peter Thiel blames diversity programs as the root cause.
I live in an African country and US culture affects so much my country, it's just crazy. From the tech built in the US being copied by entrepreneurs here or just plainly adopted, to political ideologies like LGBTQ+ going viral, to Hollywood movies being consumed and youth copying the culture. People just copy US culture, after a few years it gets ingrained in society. I won't assume it's the same in other countries but I would take a huge bet that it is the same. The ideas of American-level freedom are just so attractive. Also, American political establishment, especially on the centre, believes in promoting liberal hegemony across the globe, please read/watch John Mearsheimer on this.
Demographics are probably relevant in this: the educated millennial set are almost entirely influenced by the luxury beliefs of those who were educated abroad. The educated Gen-X set were mostly influenced by the beacon of comparative freedom and prosperity that the US represented and they pursued that by getting scholarships. Those Africa Gen-X'ers who studied the humanities instead of engineering however, are mostly woke a f, and when they returned they inculcated educated millennials with those beliefs. Everyone else finds current American values sort of decadent and weird? (Witness, for instance, the endless go-nowhere debates at the African Union and ancillary fora about basic issues of human rights.) But the fundamental irony of Africa now is probably that, while the cultural values of the young are, as you say, some weird pastiche of US-centric; all the modern and fantastic new infrastructure is Chinese.
@@nochiel wow, you really understand it all. It's all what you say. Most Africans who have studied in the US, and have studied the humanities, are really pushing anti-colonialism, anti-racism ideas, and the most woke material out there you can find both in the US and in their countries, I personally am not a fan as I just think we just need to work harder, avoid victim culture and just build stuff, but if I say that I get shout at. I said it to one lady who we studied together High School in my country, but she went to study humanities in the US. Those who did engineering rarely even come back to start it all 😂😂, they get well-paying jobs in the US Big Tech, or, if they do come back just do finance start-ups, just look at the founders of Africa's highest valued startups. But, you are really on-point on this. Most infrastructure is also Chinese, not all though, you will find bits of French and Japanese built infrastructure in African countries as well. Additionally, something interesting is that still the US is the biggest investor of the African Development Bank, then followed by the Japanese, so there is still great American influence in Africa that you won't get in the media and only on your personal research online.
Same in Korea. Young gen is hooked to US culture (LGBT, Biden, drag queen, etc.) and politicians basically follow whatever policies are trending in the west like as if the US sets the gold standard.
@1:31:00 - I think you nailed it. That's the difference between winning & losing in deploying capital. Either you can lie or you can't. It's not even something I think you can change.
How do you differentiate Elon lying from just putting out an estimate. People set goals and miss them all the time. Imagine Steve Jobs predicting a release date for the iPhone back in 2002. He never would have done that. Elon would. So is he a liar or is he just the only guy willing to tell people his plans.
the only major economical event that i can think of circa the 70s is the divorce of the dollar and gold. money became sort of valueless(government bond are not valueless but you get the idea).
I completely disagree with george's opinion of someone shouldn't care about another countries politics. That's totally false as ever increasing globalization and international trade and growing divides between certain societal ideologies. If you're country has a lot of trade with the US then you should definitely take an interest in its domestic situation. As an Australian, a middle power western country with a brother like alliance with the US but also extremely strong economic ties to China. Understanding the geo-politics can give you a great insight into how Australia's economy will perform in the coming years.
It's classic Voltaire vs Orwell - cultivating one's own garden vs evil triumphs when good men do nothing. One should strike a balance between the two IMHO. Be vigilant in your immediate surroundings you can have an effect on.
About Pieter Thiel economics, isn't that true for all price inelastic goods? Also BTC is a great example of a limited good having a larger market cap. When looking at the Henry Adams curve, is it compensated for efficiency?
I don't really follow why George feels that energy per capita charts to be indicative of bad/good things happening. It's such a general metric that one really shouldn't be drawing such specific conclusions, in my opinion. Energy use per capita has increased worldwide nearly every year, according to the World Bank. The US chart takes the shape of a logistic curve--which sounds very reasonable given American quality of life. Part of joining the middle class is maxing out your energy usage: you drive whenever you want, where ever you want. You have a temperature controlled space that's exactly the temperature you want year-round. You have screens on nearly all waking hours. You have every home appliance, and in some cases you have multiples--again, whatever you want. I've been in many homes that had two refrigerators (kitchen and garage). And that's where the asymptote is: once people are able to do everything they want, they have no reason to use any extra energy. Hence the curve being logistical rather than exponential.
1971.. On August 15, 1971, President Richard M. Nixon announced his New Economic Policy, a program “to create a new prosperity without war.” Known colloquially as the “Nixon shock,” the initiative marked the beginning of the end for the Bretton Woods system of fixed exchange rates established at the end of World War II.
Nothing but WINNER talk from our man George, lots of people love hearing losers whine and give advice how it isn't your fault about what is going on in your life!
Far more profitable to do that. They’ll stay losers for the rest of your life, and will keep listening to your grift. Therapy is this but institutionalized.
Wouldn't the increase in efficiency of technology affect total energy output after a certain point where a reversal to downtrend would indicate progress within both the space of energy production as well as efficiency of energy dependent technologies? Meaning to say that a downtrend relative to that arbitrary curve is not indicative of stagnation but actually growth in different types of ways.
What's the point of growing the pie if the wealth isn't distributed among people? Isn't that exactly why people in the US are suffering on a daily basis, living pay check to pay check, not having basic healthcare, and meanwhile the stock market is at all time highs?
interest should never be a thing in first place..it only makes the rich richer and poor poorer....it will ultimatly divide humanity in two halves elite and poor witch their own societies. Islam bans taking or giving interest for this very reason.
i dont understand how the energy consumption plateau isn't just an increase in insulation and heating efficiency of households. It is part of the progress were making not a sign of stagnation.
Wait what's the argument for basing civilizational decline based on energy usage? Illumination is 5x cheaper than those incandescent lights you're comparing energy usage against. So are computing, fridges, cookers, ... virtually anything from daily life consumes much less electricity than they used to before. Mining bitcoin in China for exorbitant amounts of energy is hardly an indicator of scientific development.
It is kind of funny that harvard could just be a place where you watch cartoon network all day and its status would stay the same as it is now because it has effectively just become all about getting into harvard. Harvard is the stamp of success given based on who you or your parents were before you became an adult.
"Either they work for me or i work for them" - I disagree with that phrase. Two people can work together and make things work successfully and flawless without hierarchy if they are aligned with the same goals.
No shit that the market cap (Last Price * Supply) is going to increase with artificially limited supply, but the pie didn't get bigger at all, as you have less for more.
@@BritishBungler Only solution is to let the supply be in its (constantly evolving) natural state. It's just not possible to do better than the free market

20:03 The pie's not bigger, just more expensive, what's not obvious about that? Less houses mean; now I can't afford 1 house but only half a house. Not bigger slices to go around--just more expensive slices.
The thing to be aware of with wokeness is that it exists on both sides of the political spectrum, increasing as you move more and more towards one side. The views on the end of the spectrum may be different, but they have the same root cause: prevalence of ideology over reason and truth. People like George still think of it as a line, where to oppose wokeness, you have to move in the opposite direction - but all you are doing is moving around the bend to the other side of the horseshoe. People like Tucker Carlson are still very much "woke".
You don’t have to move all the way to the other extreme, but when kids get transitioned, 6 states have no term limits on abortions and 17yo girls on TikTok are counting the days when they’ll be able to open an Onlyfans account and sell porn, maybe it is worth to take a step back.
GDP efficient more important than the Gini coefficient. I kind of think US versus Sweden or Germany is a good example. I get the impression that the US is screwed for retirement and healthcare.
It is completely arbitrary and a lot of bullcrap. To draw such a conclusion via one graph is pure hubris; a classical reductionist fallacy. With this type of logic you can argue for almost anything. I mean we can say that it was in fact neoliberalism that started around the same time but Thiel and I guess George would disagree.
George, it seems to me that you view political events that affect you in a very narrowed down way. For example: war in Ukraine. It doesn't affect you in any way right now. Yeah, you pay like a dollar in taxes to the cause, but it doesn't matter. On the other hand, in combination with other events, it can lead to WW3, which is going to affect you. The US government policy is going to have huge impact on the direction in which that situation goes. It seems to me that there are a lot of issues like that, that are going to have impact in the future, but easily controllable/reversible now. What do you think about this?
We need to explain the GDP thing to volunteer firefighters so they can stop putting out fires and focus on generating wealth 😅 All these people helping each other, don’t they understand that money is the point of existence?
People spend less because they don't want to pay high interest rates. With less demand for goods due to this lack of spending there becomes a surplus of goods that will be decreased in price in order to be sold.
i agree that the universities are not going very well right now - they are handing out PhD's like hot cakes. a PhD used to mean something, now you just have to say you have 17 pronouns

can someone tell me how george is able to play all kinds of videos in chromium browser? technically chromium doesn't have non free codecs support. i am really confused from months now but still couldn't figure out.
If this is about making everyone smarter with tech shouldn’t everyone be taught about tech and sciences as macronutriments of their intellectual diet ? And littérature, arts etc… as secondary activities ? Sounds authoritarian but at the same Time it would be awesome if everyone could understand complex topics. Much more egalitarian and competitive human race.
And by the way is’nt it the responsability of high iq people to teach as hard as they can to leverage all humanity to become more intelligent ? Criticizing the dumb seems counter productive that way no ?
@@geohotarchiveNo I need a timecode for 00:00 to know that I will be with George in silent solitude! Anyway, thanks for your work, and don't pay attention to creepy fetishists like me!
The root cause of the issues you described was going off the gold standard. The 2023 SVB bailout proved this to me personally ( our startup was saved ). If you play a game where you can't actually get wiped out, it changes incentives radically and people aren't as serious or careful. It breeds a culture of complacency. I'm optimistic we can return to the gold standard with BTC as anyone can verify the peg themselves, which was impossible with physical gold.
Yes - China went from a country where the vast majority of people lived in rural areas with subsistent living - moving into cities [1]. Surprise the energy usage increase? Huh? Why is that surprising? It certainly was not because China somehow became a bastion of meritocracy in 2000 and shunned wokeness. There may actually be a flattening of their own energy usage starting in 2021 or so. The timelines you use seem to coincide with the beginning of industrial revolution. Science benefitted immensely. Since that time the cost of furthering our knowledge has increased with each discovery. Things like Super Colliders cost billions of dollars. The money the Gov't pays Musk to develop space ships is enormous. Advancement cost more than it once did. The low hanging fruit has been picked. Finally I may even agree that ideology has replaced a certain amount of reason but Mr Thiel is no stranger to pushing controversial ideologies of his own. So colleges haven't produced as much because of creeping wokeness from the 70's. Well computers have been increasingly used starting the 70's. Maybe computer use is causing our productivity to flatten out? People getting dumber amusing themselves to death with games. I think there are any number of variables one could pick that happen to coincide.

Eric Weinstein also talks about this in Joe Rogan's podcast, particularly in the context of physics. He highlights that no significant advancements that have occurred since 1970, while expressing frustration that many people today are primarily focused on trivial matters.
Yo, you will be better off using LLMs to get perspective on physics advancements since 1970 than Eric Weinstein. Condensed matter physics comes to mind and all the chip manufacturing that was enabled by it. Oh yeah, but but it's not theoretical physics... sorry, you can't invent General Relativity twice. Weinstein has all incentive to try to convince as many people as possible that nothing has happened in science and that people like him should be sponsored. Btw, by all accounts his Geometric Unity Theory is bogus by all accounts. He is basically Craig Wright of theoretical science, except probably poorer. Nowadays, after Peter Thiel sponsorship money has dried up, he talks all sort of bullshit stories to gain his cult followers. He couldn't even resist tapping into UFO idiots group with his most ridiculous bullshit skywalker ranch stories. I'm shitpost about him because MF tricked me into his bullshit before. If you want to know more, Decoding Gurus have a good primer on him and his scammy brother.

"Da Joo's"??? Really Mr. Hotz? Draw a certain Middle Eastern/Arabian Prophet and see what happens
Read Thomas Sowell & your eyes will be open to what is going on today. He exposed faux university intellectuals as frauds for over 40 years.
George if you really want to start a movement to help transform society you'll need to connect the hearts and minds (seek, find & grow their potential) which I call the Human Spirit. Currently consumer consumption economy feeds on Human Nature instead of the Human Spirit. Human Nature breeds meaning in materialism & leading to emptiness. We are in the times of highest standard of living yet mental health issues are at an all time high. Regarding those asking you for advice, you don’t need to when, you can teach them how to think for themselves to come up with their own solutions.
The good long time solution is assembling people not based on ideology, but based on intellectually honest people who are openminded enough to listen & understand thought process outside their bubble. Intellectually honest thought leaders having meaningful discourse to find pragmatic solutions isn’t happening anywhere. I believe the public which is losing trust in institutions is starving for this. Joe Rogan & Lex Friedman partially do this but don’t have actual discourse with competing ideas. We are missing meaningful dialogue in a time things seems to be getting more chaotic & unstable. This would draw people with the best ideas & develop into something unique & impactful. Of course you will have to ignore the not so bright NPCs who just want to spew their propaganist talking points.
e/acc has to be built on a foundation that hits the hearts & minds of decent people who want to be part of fixing society but don’t see their place in it. I believe if it’s focus is on the Human Spirt instead of materialism feeding into Human Nature it will become a movement that feeds into itself. Their is plenty more to this like mapping reality with media to make it more tranparent for all. Or coming up with hypothetical ideals & working backwards to achieve them. If done right you could have a platform just as big as Lex Friedman & working with the best minds to come up with real world solutions benefitting the majority.
Hey man be careful, we gone set you up to be the new Edward Louis Bernays bro. Yes, we because the public will push you towards it and the us will, you already hacked and met their power bro. Frfr don't world fair us. Please I'm already a nigga, the power will just revert to baseline
I don't agree with what George said that what happens in the US doesn't affect you if you live in another country. Whatever happens in the US usually happens in other countries too a few years later. Nowadays that delay has become much smaller, especially in English speaking countries.
Yeah, I share your sentiment. I assume because he lives in the United States, he doesn’t fully understand how greatly affected we are by what’s happening there.
Oh my god, it affects the world so much it's just crazy! Though Americans don't acknowledge that and they also don't understand their system as much as outsiders do from a bird eyes view. He has not lived in a culture outside the US so he doesn't really understand all that.
@@mimi21746Mimi, you don’t understand how our system works. Don’t pretend like you do
@@macicoinc9363 who pretended ? Many Americans just don't know how their system works, an American told me that ? Why always the Us vs Them ?
Once you have enough money you can insulate yourself away from a lot of the negative side effects.
George - I hope you have a Merry Christmas and Great 2024.
Gwern (which I know George reads) has an article called "Improvements since the 1990s" where he makes a point that people tend to focus too much on scientific or technological breakthrough (which ordinary people usually don't benefit much from, at least in short term) and not too much on small, incremental improvements
The problem with the kind of incremental changes Gwern describes is that incremental change "adds up" but is probably asymptotic with a ceiling and doesn't get us the step change in civilization that we really want and need.
After all, what did Gwern use the extra space on his desk for? He says it's now occupied by his cats.
As for what ordinary people would benefit from in the immediate to short term? An order of magnitude decrease in energy costs; a cure for cancer; cheap desalination, and so on.
George is falling into the same mindset as the climate radicalists. He is essentialy envoking a non-existent collapse. I do appreciate the ideas, and a vision to reach new heights. Fear however is a constant, we shouln't try to rationalize it too much.
The analogy with climate radicalism isn't apt.
We know, historically, that great civilizations eventually decline.
George's (and Jonathan Blow's) questions have been something like: If you were in the Roman Empire (or Mesopotamia?), how would you detect that it was in decline?
Having detected the decline, how would you correctly diagnose it and what would you be able to do about it?
If we exclude climate radicalists and only include respectable scientists with a phd. How would it look on a chart? Empirical evidence and data analysis should probably drive the conversation over gut feeling? Fear is a non quantifiable, abstract metric.
@@B0tch0The fact you think having a PhD, of any kind, is the pinnacle of intellectual achievement, and earnestly posted your belief in attempt to persuade others on a George Hotz video is hilarious.
I got a paper you should read, it’s written by a respectable, PhD holding, senior researcher at Stanford’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. Surely his titles and credentials satisfy the requirements you laid out. Having decades of experience in cutting edge experimental physics and chemistry research. He should have a decent enough grasp on the fundamental mathematic principles, and scientific collection methods, underpinning the development of a highly accurate and precise model of a complex system occurring within reality.
Title of the publication: “Propagation of Error and the Reliability of Global Air Temperature Projections”
Author: Patrick Frank
You should really read it.
Turn on the red squiggles! It's spelled "evoking" not "envoking". Evoking something implies that something didn't exist before, hence no need to tack on "non-existent". It would be pointless nitpicking to point out those errors, but in the context of telling someone they're wrong without an explanation, it makes you look like a functioning illiterate.
@@bobweiram6321 I'm german, so thanks for the explanation. Hope my take didn't sound too cynical too, I think the streams are great!
If geohotz had a daily news/talking/thoughts stream, I'd watch it every day.
So long as it's captioned since the mic is sketchy :D
Yes I love the "format" - everything that separates from a produced video. 95% of youtube content should be like this. I haven't found another person talking to the camera like this recently..
U should be thankful that he doesn't.. his opinions are pretty stupid
George is amazing.
George you know better! The US is falling behind in the sciences because the federal research budgets have shrunk significantly in the past 50 years by right wingers. Private industry has failed to make up the difference despite receiving huge subsidies and tax breaks. Peter Thiel blames diversity programs as the root cause.
I live in an African country and US culture affects so much my country, it's just crazy. From the tech built in the US being copied by entrepreneurs here or just plainly adopted, to political ideologies like LGBTQ+ going viral, to Hollywood movies being consumed and youth copying the culture. People just copy US culture, after a few years it gets ingrained in society. I won't assume it's the same in other countries but I would take a huge bet that it is the same. The ideas of American-level freedom are just so attractive. Also, American political establishment, especially on the centre, believes in promoting liberal hegemony across the globe, please read/watch John Mearsheimer on this.
I read somewhere once that the largest goods that US exports is not Oil or tech but its culture.
Demographics are probably relevant in this: the educated millennial set are almost entirely influenced by the luxury beliefs of those who were educated abroad.
The educated Gen-X set were mostly influenced by the beacon of comparative freedom and prosperity that the US represented and they pursued that by getting scholarships.
Those Africa Gen-X'ers who studied the humanities instead of engineering however, are mostly woke a f, and when they returned they inculcated educated millennials with those beliefs.
Everyone else finds current American values sort of decadent and weird? (Witness, for instance, the endless go-nowhere debates at the African Union and ancillary fora about basic issues of human rights.)
But the fundamental irony of Africa now is probably that, while the cultural values of the young are, as you say, some weird pastiche of US-centric; all the modern and fantastic new infrastructure is Chinese.
@@nochiel wow, you really understand it all. It's all what you say. Most Africans who have studied in the US, and have studied the humanities, are really pushing anti-colonialism, anti-racism ideas, and the most woke material out there you can find both in the US and in their countries, I personally am not a fan as I just think we just need to work harder, avoid victim culture and just build stuff, but if I say that I get shout at. I said it to one lady who we studied together High School in my country, but she went to study humanities in the US. Those who did engineering rarely even come back to start it all 😂😂, they get well-paying jobs in the US Big Tech, or, if they do come back just do finance start-ups, just look at the founders of Africa's highest valued startups. But, you are really on-point on this. Most infrastructure is also Chinese, not all though, you will find bits of French and Japanese built infrastructure in African countries as well. Additionally, something interesting is that still the US is the biggest investor of the African Development Bank, then followed by the Japanese, so there is still great American influence in Africa that you won't get in the media and only on your personal research online.
Same in Korea. Young gen is hooked to US culture (LGBT, Biden, drag queen, etc.) and politicians basically follow whatever policies are trending in the west like as if the US sets the gold standard.
It's the same in France, we just copy whatever is coming from the US. It's quite sad to watch.
Am sure Unabomber would really appreciate same day delivery
Here you see George interviewing himself.
George should totally check out "The Talos Principle 2", whether on stream or off stream. It's about AI and e/acc.
“We are outside cuz we’re a society” belongs on a t-shirt 😂
I read "The Time Machine" by Herbert Wells, last year, and was amazed at how subtly it showed the future of the human race.
A better saying would be “everything wrong with your life is your responsibility”.
I think George essentially means this. Reminds me of “ If you’re able to respond, you response-able“
I did three 50 mile hikes in the 3 sisters wilderness area.
Scouts man, kids need that shit.
@1:31:00 - I think you nailed it. That's the difference between winning & losing in deploying capital. Either you can lie or you can't. It's not even something I think you can change.
How do you differentiate Elon lying from just putting out an estimate. People set goals and miss them all the time. Imagine Steve Jobs predicting a release date for the iPhone back in 2002. He never would have done that. Elon would. So is he a liar or is he just the only guy willing to tell people his plans.
I am grateful for you, George.
Merry Christmas !
"we need to get outside more" then "if you see me outside don't talk to me" lol
Keep doing these please!
the only major economical event that i can think of circa the 70s is the divorce of the dollar and gold. money became sort of valueless(government bond are not valueless but you get the idea).
I can think of the hippy movement . However economic controls behavior so i guess that's more surface level.
I think of the start of neoliberalism...
I completely disagree with george's opinion of someone shouldn't care about another countries politics. That's totally false as ever increasing globalization and international trade and growing divides between certain societal ideologies. If you're country has a lot of trade with the US then you should definitely take an interest in its domestic situation. As an Australian, a middle power western country with a brother like alliance with the US but also extremely strong economic ties to China. Understanding the geo-politics can give you a great insight into how Australia's economy will perform in the coming years.
It's classic Voltaire vs Orwell - cultivating one's own garden vs evil triumphs when good men do nothing.
One should strike a balance between the two IMHO. Be vigilant in your immediate surroundings you can have an effect on.
great book Christianity’s impact on the west is Dominion by Tom Holland. Seems like thiel was definitely influenced by it
Merry Christmas everyone
Digital computing took off in the 70s it the next step up in technological advance, basically, semiconductors and micro fabrication
Saying the border issue doesnt affect you is like saying the Roman empire fall never affected the Western world
I liked this stream, but I do not believe for a second that George genuinely spent a week off-grid in the woods. He was likely in curated nature.
interesting video
Cracking video, George.
About Pieter Thiel economics, isn't that true for all price inelastic goods? Also BTC is a great example of a limited good having a larger market cap.
When looking at the Henry Adams curve, is it compensated for efficiency?
I think the market cap for BTC is the same whether you have 10 or 1000, because the price would reflect this difference
I don't really follow why George feels that energy per capita charts to be indicative of bad/good things happening. It's such a general metric that one really shouldn't be drawing such specific conclusions, in my opinion.
Energy use per capita has increased worldwide nearly every year, according to the World Bank. The US chart takes the shape of a logistic curve--which sounds very reasonable given American quality of life.
Part of joining the middle class is maxing out your energy usage: you drive whenever you want, where ever you want. You have a temperature controlled space that's exactly the temperature you want year-round. You have screens on nearly all waking hours. You have every home appliance, and in some cases you have multiples--again, whatever you want. I've been in many homes that had two refrigerators (kitchen and garage). And that's where the asymptote is: once people are able to do everything they want, they have no reason to use any extra energy. Hence the curve being logistical rather than exponential.
"They had no choice other than to lower interest rates", "The problem only got postponed"
Capitalisms inner contradictions at play.
1971..
On August 15, 1971, President Richard M. Nixon announced his New Economic Policy, a program “to create a new prosperity without war.” Known colloquially as the “Nixon shock,” the initiative marked the beginning of the end for the Bretton Woods system of fixed exchange rates established at the end of World War II.
I agree too. Going off the gold standard was the single biggest thing that still affects us today.
love democracy 🎉🎉 see you at the polls ❤
merry christmas everybody
Nothing but WINNER talk from our man George, lots of people love hearing losers whine and give advice how it isn't your fault about what is going on in your life!
Far more profitable to do that. They’ll stay losers for the rest of your life, and will keep listening to your grift. Therapy is this but institutionalized.
@@macicoinc9363 hahaha, right?
Wouldn't the increase in efficiency of technology affect total energy output after a certain point where a reversal to downtrend would indicate progress within both the space of energy production as well as efficiency of energy dependent technologies? Meaning to say that a downtrend relative to that arbitrary curve is not indicative of stagnation but actually growth in different types of ways.
yes, exactly what i was looking for in the comments. i really shocked that no one ever actually noticed too

What's the point of growing the pie if the wealth isn't distributed among people? Isn't that exactly why people in the US are suffering on a daily basis, living pay check to pay check, not having basic healthcare, and meanwhile the stock market is at all time highs?
interest should never be a thing in first place..it only makes the rich richer and poor poorer....it will ultimatly divide humanity in two halves elite and poor witch their own societies. Islam bans taking or giving interest for this very reason.
Islam such a beacon of running things well
i dont understand how the energy consumption plateau isn't just an increase in insulation and heating efficiency of households. It is part of the progress were making not a sign of stagnation.
That energy-consumption-per-capita graph is misleading because it only counts residential use of electricity.
Wait what's the argument for basing civilizational decline based on energy usage? Illumination is 5x cheaper than those incandescent lights you're comparing energy usage against. So are computing, fridges, cookers, ... virtually anything from daily life consumes much less electricity than they used to before. Mining bitcoin in China for exorbitant amounts of energy is hardly an indicator of scientific development.
It is kind of funny that harvard could just be a place where you watch cartoon network all day and its status would stay the same as it is now because it has effectively just become all about getting into harvard. Harvard is the stamp of success given based on who you or your parents were before you became an adult.

"Either they work for me or i work for them" - I disagree with that phrase. Two people can work together and make things work successfully and flawless without hierarchy if they are aligned with the same goals.
No shit that the market cap (Last Price * Supply) is going to increase with artificially limited supply, but the pie didn't get bigger at all, as you have less for more.
People feel richer and it provides anyone willing to ditch first with the advantages of that greater wealth (just everyone can't cash out).

Could Hotz do more pushups than Shkreli?
I think so
Nope, Shkreli is from Brooklyn, that adds reps
20:03 The pie's not bigger, just more expensive, what's not obvious about that? Less houses mean; now I can't afford 1 house but only half a house. Not bigger slices to go around--just more expensive slices.
Yo George, pinged you about ecromata, think I'm qualified,
All the best
"But how does this affect you personally?"
"I've been in Elon's tunnel"
The children yearn for the mines
"Refactor!!" -- LOL!! They didn't listen to you and they should have!!!
merry christmas
George, please use a shock-mount for the microphone.
The thing to be aware of with wokeness is that it exists on both sides of the political spectrum, increasing as you move more and more towards one side. The views on the end of the spectrum may be different, but they have the same root cause: prevalence of ideology over reason and truth. People like George still think of it as a line, where to oppose wokeness, you have to move in the opposite direction - but all you are doing is moving around the bend to the other side of the horseshoe. People like Tucker Carlson are still very much "woke".
You don’t have to move all the way to the other extreme, but when kids get transitioned, 6 states have no term limits on abortions and 17yo girls on TikTok are counting the days when they’ll be able to open an Onlyfans account and sell porn, maybe it is worth to take a step back.
"Georges Hotz i am a fan "😂
GDP efficient more important than the Gini coefficient. I kind of think US versus Sweden or Germany is a good example. I get the impression that the US is screwed for retirement and healthcare.
World need Yorj
Global energy consumption keeps on growing. Does it make any sense to look at that graph for a specific country?
Yes, because countries vary by the level of the development
It is completely arbitrary and a lot of bullcrap. To draw such a conclusion via one graph is pure hubris; a classical reductionist fallacy. With this type of logic you can argue for almost anything. I mean we can say that it was in fact neoliberalism that started around the same time but Thiel and I guess George would disagree.
I wanna hear George respond to Ilya (OpenAI) giving up on robotics
Ilya has never said people should give up on it. Just said it takes a whole organization dedicated to it.
everything is connected. Everything affects you or will affect you within a couple lightyears distance.
George, it seems to me that you view political events that affect you in a very narrowed down way. For example: war in Ukraine. It doesn't affect you in any way right now. Yeah, you pay like a dollar in taxes to the cause, but it doesn't matter. On the other hand, in combination with other events, it can lead to WW3, which is going to affect you. The US government policy is going to have huge impact on the direction in which that situation goes. It seems to me that there are a lot of issues like that, that are going to have impact in the future, but easily controllable/reversible now. What do you think about this?
We need to explain the GDP thing to volunteer firefighters so they can stop putting out fires and focus on generating wealth 😅 All these people helping each other, don’t they understand that money is the point of existence?
I think that is one central point that Thiel hits on in his Straussian moment essay.
He’s lazy minded … I see him now. Disappointed… Yudkowsky is his Buster Douglas. I know this, because Tyler knows this
This is why being part of an rob rundo style active club is one of the best things you can do.
How would higher interest rates lead to a lower price of goods?
People spend less because they don't want to pay high interest rates. With less demand for goods due to this lack of spending there becomes a surplus of goods that will be decreased in price in order to be sold.

i agree that the universities are not going very well right now - they are handing out PhD's like hot cakes. a PhD used to mean something, now you just have to say you have 17 pronouns

why do you always have muted intro ?😁
You're such a "spirited" human being. I would love to meet you at some point in this life and hangout discussing stuff for hours.
Tucker Carlson is a bad faith actor, pretty disappointing to hear this
I made his tacos at the Austin Airport and said hi....Oops :) About an hour into the video, but good to know. th-cam.com/video/d0EPuVlCtJk/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared&t=3667
What truth exactly is he talking about @36:24?
Bro if you want to accelerate, you don't even need to lie. You have an interesting product, get capital, move on to the next startup. You are sleeping and too strong on certain principles.
“Intellectual property is stupid.” LOL no.
What is George Hotz's beef with Claudine Gay at Harvard?
can someone tell me how george is able to play all kinds of videos in chromium browser? technically chromium doesn't have non free codecs support. i am really confused from months now but still couldn't figure out.
modded chromium
He is the guy who cracked iphone and ps 🎉🎉🎉
If this is about making everyone smarter with tech shouldn’t everyone be taught about tech and sciences as macronutriments of their intellectual diet ? And littérature, arts etc… as secondary activities ?
Sounds authoritarian but at the same Time it would be awesome if everyone could understand complex topics.
Much more egalitarian and competitive human race.
And by the way is’nt it the responsability of high iq people to teach as hard as they can to leverage all humanity to become more intelligent ?
Criticizing the dumb seems counter productive that way no ?
This Wozniak desperately need a Jobs.
question: will AI and machine learning will take my job as web developer and what should I do about it.
yes, embrace it.
cult of personality. IDGI
Bro where is ur self driving car...
WHY THERE'S NO TIMECODE FOR MUTED INTRO?
@eightuponatime added at 00:00:23. Seemed unnecessary but understandable you would like the timecode for that.
@@geohotarchiveNo I need a timecode for 00:00 to know that I will be with George in silent solitude! Anyway, thanks for your work, and don't pay attention to creepy fetishists like me!
e/acc has two cs fyi
@user-gt2ro6ml6w Thank you. Fixed.
Well fellas, we got one stream with the mic on from day dot.
Let's aim for two next year George? Proud of you.
xoxo
The root cause of the issues you described was going off the gold standard. The 2023 SVB bailout proved this to me personally ( our startup was saved ). If you play a game where you can't actually get wiped out, it changes incentives radically and people aren't as serious or careful. It breeds a culture of complacency. I'm optimistic we can return to the gold standard with BTC as anyone can verify the peg themselves, which was impossible with physical gold.
I think I lost all my respect for george hotz after this one- his thoughts are weak.
Yes - China went from a country where the vast majority of people lived in rural areas with subsistent living - moving into cities [1]. Surprise the energy usage increase? Huh? Why is that surprising? It certainly was not because China somehow became a bastion of meritocracy in 2000 and shunned wokeness. There may actually be a flattening of their own energy usage starting in 2021 or so.
The timelines you use seem to coincide with the beginning of industrial revolution. Science benefitted immensely. Since that time the cost of furthering our knowledge has increased with each discovery. Things like Super Colliders cost billions of dollars. The money the Gov't pays Musk to develop space ships is enormous. Advancement cost more than it once did. The low hanging fruit has been picked.
Finally I may even agree that ideology has replaced a certain amount of reason but Mr Thiel is no stranger to pushing controversial ideologies of his own. So colleges haven't produced as much because of creeping wokeness from the 70's. Well computers have been increasingly used starting the 70's. Maybe computer use is causing our productivity to flatten out? People getting dumber amusing themselves to death with games. I think there are any number of variables one could pick that happen to coincide.

Eric Weinstein also talks about this in Joe Rogan's podcast, particularly in the context of physics. He highlights that no significant advancements that have occurred since 1970, while expressing frustration that many people today are primarily focused on trivial matters.
He also mentioned it on the podcast with Dave Rubin, JP and Ben Shapiro
@@MrEmbrance You forgot Lex Fridman as well.
Peter Thiel has been saying that for much longer.
@@BritishBungler Well it wasn’t a competition, it was more of a statement to confirm that more people are saying the same thing…. Calm your tits
Yo, you will be better off using LLMs to get perspective on physics advancements since 1970 than Eric Weinstein. Condensed matter physics comes to mind and all the chip manufacturing that was enabled by it. Oh yeah, but but it's not theoretical physics... sorry, you can't invent General Relativity twice. Weinstein has all incentive to try to convince as many people as possible that nothing has happened in science and that people like him should be sponsored. Btw, by all accounts his Geometric Unity Theory is bogus by all accounts. He is basically Craig Wright of theoretical science, except probably poorer. Nowadays, after Peter Thiel sponsorship money has dried up, he talks all sort of bullshit stories to gain his cult followers. He couldn't even resist tapping into UFO idiots group with his most ridiculous bullshit skywalker ranch stories.
I'm shitpost about him because MF tricked me into his bullshit before. If you want to know more, Decoding Gurus have a good primer on him and his scammy brother.
