Absolutely brilliant. Now I wish our political class would be this tuned in to things that are important to regular people, to have a vision of what the future looks like, and be able to articulate clearly how to anticipate and address challenges.
I can't imagine how this podcast isn't bigger than it is. With your other ventures for exposure it should be a slam dunk. This is better than the others.
I like how Marc says he's not pro fraud. He has a great sense of humor. Loved his correlation about the music industry and how they fought every new technological advancement with Web3.
This was my very first time listening to the Realignment. While I came to the show because I found it via Marc Andresseen, I would definitely come back because of you. Amazing questions, background knowledge, and understanding of how those topics fit in the broader world. You guys are fantastic. Congratulations! Best wishes from Europe 🇪🇺
I love The Hard Thing About Hard Things so any Andreesen Horowitz content I am here for. Congrats and thank you for the ever more impressive guests you are getting. Also I like the Marc Andreesen on Everything title better!!!
Nice video!! Very engaging. Rich people have assets, which are inflation proof. On the other hand, earned income is vulnerable to inflation. That's why the rich get richer in inflationary environments. An example, wealthy person may own several homes, rental properties(Commercial/Residential), businesses, productive land, equities, bonds, etc. The average W2 employee gets taxed the highest rate, they own almost no productive assets.
>Inflation is killing my budget and my salary. I can't invest anymore and it seems like I will need to sell all of my risk assets to keep my head above the water this year.
Investment on risk assets (stocks, crypto, etc) is easier with proper guidance, especially from a proffessional it really helps reduce the chances of running into losses
I had this experience during the last economic downturn and thought I had lost everything but thanks to Ms. Jennifer Marie Ferguson who managed my portfolio, I recovered all my losses.
I would want to build a 50K ton heavy forge. We haven't built one in forever, and they are a bottleneck for basically everything somewhere in the supplychain.
Marshall is SOOOOO excited to talk to Marc he keeps stepping on Saagar. It is actually pretty funny how giddy Marshall is in this interview. Poor Saagar.
In terms of vinyl record holding appeal long after theoretically superior technology, I think really good ICE/manual transmission cars will have a resurgence when electric cars become common appliances.
I live in a new planned city called Anthem just north of Phoenix. The entire city was built from scratch by Del Webb, a private corporation. Del Webb does this city creation for profit in the Southwest.

Saagar, Marshall - would love to see a crossover episode featuring David Sacks from from the All In podcast. He has such great nuance and articulation of political opinions - would be a great guest
No facebook questions from you guys or Rogan?! Did he say not to ask him about it? (for those who don't know, a16 was early FB investor, and Mark is on the board)
Regarding the dysfunctionality of the 3 parts of the American Dream - i.e., housing, education, health care - the dysfunctionality is simply an effect of not only a *shortage* of the input components (which all ties to labor, with the exception of the land) to these products, but also *rent-seeking* by folks whose interest is in keeping the shortage. Housing: Nobody wants more houses around because of the traffic, crime, etc., but also so that new supply does not degrade housing values for the current rentier owners. Education: The College-Industrial Complex wants to keep the paradigm of a college education, especially at which college, being a rough measure of raw G intelligence of the graduate, which itself feeds from the courts outlawing IQ tests in hiring because of ethnic bias (as opposed to the fact that ethnicities have statistical difference in intelligence), as well as be a way for employers to have some assurance that the applicant has enough get-up-and-go to get a degree, regardless of the price tag. Health Care: This is mainly due to the credential rentiers of the AMA & ADA to keep enough of a shortage of professionals around so that the prices are high.
It just shows that in some areas, Nixon also didn't govern well to his goals and the disease of how we learned not to govern to build and do great things "in the real life term" extended beyond the arrival of the "Watergate babies" into DC. But it also shows the problems of a lack of risk-taking and risk-acceptance of both us as a political entity and with regulators/politicians for not having a mentality of doing whatever it takes to get to that goal. (Nixon did a bit in that time to remove some of the teeth of the FTC and anti-monopoly regulation long before the movement really got into power later in the 1970s and 1980s).
if you put Andreessen in normal speed, you don't need to speed it up to 2x. The Conehead intelect is hiding in plain sight. 💥😝 p.s. learned a lot! great chat.

Definitely crypto skeptical here it’s likely it produces some change even if it’s not apparent yet. Only 10-12 years old it will really “kick-on” at 18-20 just like most new technology or tools. Issue with blockchain projects is 90% do not need a token. They are just ways to fund teams. Or bad gimmick
Brilliant guy but his value prop for crypto is underwhelming imo. I believe in crypto but I think people's future appetite for digital ownership is exaggerated in the NFT narrative. Just because people are willing to pay for outfits and dance moves in Fortnite in 2022, doesnt mean people will be willing to do that in 2040. I think the future of fun is about novel experiences which are immersive and intangible (think VR). I believe monetization of digital goods is a relic of materialist capitalism, which isn't guaranteed to survive through coming decades. Take car-sharing as an example--at some point it becomes so easy to borrow a car when needed, that only a minority of drivers will bother owning a car, and the practice of tying one's identity or happiness to such posessions will go out of style.
"We haven't built any cities".... its easy. Take prime land from someone and give it to me for free, perhaps from Marc. And I'll dump all debris, etc wherever I feel like, without paying anyone for it. And take water from any river, without paying for it. Dump sewage into the sea, without paying for it. Dump garbage from the city at the nearest convenient place, without paying for it. So easy!
He is trying to fit with his ivy league counterparts, he and marshall dont understand that they arnt white anglo Saxon gentry and will NEVER be acceopeted in the circles they are trying to fit in to.
producing atomic power includes uranium mining, milling, purification, enrichment and fabrication. these processes emit 10 - 20 times more carbon and pollution than wind power and at a much greater cost, as waste remains toxic for thousands of years and some is released into air & water raising cancer risks for local residents. wind & solar already provide 40% of power for germany oregon & washington with others close behind ..
😂😂 Your argument falls flat when you realize that wind power can't produce 10% of the consistent power of one power plant also it's not As if we're making a decision on going all in wind, Wind and solar is not efficient enough nor is it reliable enough to not be linked to coal fire power plants so so where do you come off saying that nuclear is dirtier when when every single wind And solar plant have to have coal backups

@@randomuser3061 All he is saying is the bourgeoisie(people like him) no longer run things, Says now that managers who have the power but not actually own the things that are productive control institutions, And that he imagines a future were "Network capitalism" will take over, Basically actually democracy in the from of ownership 1 vote, 1 share, you know what the stock market was originally suppose to be. So to sum it up HE IS FOR THE STATUS QUO.
FACT CHECK: there are two reactors being built in Georgia right now by Southern Company. So the answer to how many new reactors have been approved in the last 40 years is 2 lol. I worked there
And the issue there is cost - it is not environmental issues. And cost is what has damaged the Nuclear dream in most countries around the world, particularly unplanned maintenance costs. Just look at what is happening in France right now!

Don't get hung up on views. This podcast is more heady than most people want to engage with.
Man… Marc’s mind works fast! Great podcast! Could listen to Marc for hours.

I like how Marc says he's not pro fraud. He has a great sense of humor. Loved his correlation about the music industry and how they fought every new technological advancement with Web3.
This was your best episode ever. I can't believe the kinds of guests you guys are getting!
Love what he says about speculation and uncertainty. Anything new was speculative.

I'm really excited about Balaji Srinivasan new book. I wholeheartly believe that's the future. We need network states
Good looks on this post. Just pre-ordered. I heard him explain this on Tim Ferris podcast. Love his style going to read it day 1
Also love his comparison of building LA to the Theranos of cities - hilarious!
Oh dang! I just realized that I dj'd for this a16z company the other day! Very nice folks =) Super cool interview.
Great Episode. Commenting for the Algo

Inflation is eating up the Economy but, the rise and fall of much of finance depends on investment and risk taking, that's a fact.
Investment on risk assets (stocks, crypto, etc) is easier with proper guidance, especially from a proffessional it really helps reduce the chances of running into losses
I had this experience during the last economic downturn and thought I had lost everything but thanks to Ms. Jennifer Marie Ferguson who managed my portfolio, I recovered all my losses.
Stop managing your portfolio and write to her since you keep losing money, she's a trading pro. She will help you win passively.
Wonderful job, gentlemen 😊
Look at Saagar tryin not to notice the pointyness of Andreessen’s head. 😂😂
Congratulations, great talk.
Robert Gordon, Growth Economics is awesome book that details 1870-1970 innovation
Excellent podcast gents
"The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it."
Gotta admit, when I saw Web3 in the title, I was turned off on the episode. Glad I watched it anyway. Ranks up with the Frank DiStefano ones.
Loving this!!! Thank you 💜
Loved this. Mark is awesome 🤩
Great show!
Right, right, right, you know, right, right, you know
excellent content. keep it up.
I’m amazed that Google’s close captions can keep up with Marc! 😀

Anthem is nice. Del Webb has a habit of buying undesirable land and making it attractive. They're building a lot west of Surprise too

Good news. Davids been on the show twice before. He was on at the start of April and in February 2021 I believe
that talking capitalist egg has a point
Why do rich people hate the government that provided the environment for them to become rich?

Dude, like, right? Like, like, right, right? 😂
do accredited investors - only type investments really outperform S&P, on average? I doubt it
Where's the intro jingle? :(
