oops. the roaring 20s comment did not age well. Unless he meant 1929.
or thereabouts if memory serves: the “paradox” you posit that our education system is insufficient for our own but not for the foreigners is not rocket science. It means to do the same thing it always did - suppress the undesirables with worker bee mentality droning them , prescribing thought, indoctrination and implementing to the max the governments first form of enforcing conformity to the preexisting social constructs. In short- make them Americans who do not ask questions, take what they get and learn what we tell them. I am not for this. Please understand that the status quo of the education system is not to inflict the last 40 years upon the next foreseeable generations with the same problem we have created and simply run new cattle through the chute- nope. We need an educational renaissance. We want to specialize people and make sure the incoming humans aspire to being contributing members of society and offering their gifts and talents. We do not just offer the same shit that didnt work to the noobs. Absolutely not. This is unacceptable thinking. The answer is to still change the education system. We aren’t passing the sloppy seconds. That’s a hard fucking no
A reference to the National Merit Scholarship program. At hour mark , they talk about universities with talent scouts. In our university selection for our daughter, it turns out only a handful of US universities give big awards for National Merit Scholars. Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX has a great National Merit award. More so than neighboring OU, A&M, UT……

interesting
Who will be the first mainstream politician to declare that the US should no longer support Israel ?
What did Elon say within the last two years that Marc refers to at in the preference falsification section? What was his 'rebellious' idea?Anybody who knows kindly respond to this comment, appreciate it!
Preference falsification -- one guy sticks his head up (Elon Musk) -- So, that is what Elon's stiff arm salute was about?????
Andreessen wagers his credibility on the following (very confident, like everything he says) statement at : "Elon Musk [has] an absolute dedication to the truth." He immediately qualifies this with "sometimes the rockets crash," but fundamentally he's asserting that Elon is an honest guy who never intentionally lies. In true Lex fashion...I invite the listener to honestly consider Elon's behavior and decide for themselves whether this statement is ridiculous.
I'm laughing at the dating of this podcast. Most of these people you spoke of at on have probably lost funding from total usery of the tax base.

Professor John Mearsheimer, from University of Chicago?
on Couragoues Professors with tenureI know from a German Professor ( Prof. Dr. Michael Meyen, @ProfMeyen ) who stood up against the Zeitgeist. They could not fire him, but his carrer was put to an end. He was cancelled whereever possible. So the system does not provide as much autonomy as one could think based on "tenure".

At around , Marc Andreessen remarks that the criticism of Elon Musk seems to be - We want him to care about all of humanity, but not like that. This characterization of the criticism is not entirely correct. Many people recognize that Musk's ideas, seem wildly impractical. His proposal for terraforming Mars, for instance—Just drop nukes on the poles. Even if that were possible, how long would it actually take to make Mars habitable? His supporters should challenge him with thoughtful questions rather than accepting his statements at face value. While it's greatto know that Musk is consistent in his views both publicly and privately, that alone doesn’t make him right.

"How many federal agencies are there? And the answer is somewhere between 450 and 520. And nobody's quite sure.
"How many people work for the federal government?And the answer is something on the order like 4 million full-time employees and maybe up to 20 million contractors, and nobody's quite sure. How many of them are actually in the office? And the answer is not many."
"Third, which is the regulation thing, right? And I described earlier how basically our system of government is much more now based on regulations than legislation, right? Most of the rules that we all live under are not from a bill that went through Congress."

about smart people going to the US, they have already gone, but they could be keep on going. The world will keep on losing and it is ok until there is a better place to not only live, it is a matter ob surviving from many smart people leaving Latin America, Eastern Europe and even India
interesting future of tech: it could belong to the same blue collar workers who built the industrial revolution etc
Affirmative action has nothing to do with why people in rustbelt cities or farming towns like Wisconsin haven’t gotten into tech. If this is an outcome you seek then expose those communities to your industry and consider relocating there. The work starts at the community level. In Texas historically, from exposure to oil and gas people get into oil and gas. The same can be said of other states.
ALL. OF. THEM. As a Midwestern rooted rural kid, I felt that.
- The difference is that people are leaving those other countries voluntarily.
does Marc really not hear the identity politics creep and anti individualism in this equivalence of material and human "capital".
the difference is that humans are conscious things with emotions and a desire not to run to bunkers every five minutes because a drone might explode next to their house.
I am from Mexico, and for Americans it is beneficial, but for foreigners is even better is a way toGrow, survive, be their best version and in many cases build great companies in the US and then having money to help poorer countries. Is is a fact Latin America and Africa will never catch up with the US. We were 20 years behind before AI. We will be 50 years behind in a couple of years (2-5 more years”)with AGI.
Yeah, I also got an 800 on the math, and I'm an extremely unremarkable person. Much less remarkable than even Lex thinks he is. The test is more about how well trained you are than how smart you are.

~ so true and so unfortunate. I eat well, sleep well, and learn ballroom dancing for exercise with 20 something’s. And am very fit to the point of people commenting it’s unfair. Yet, my A1C is rising quickly towards pre-diabetic level. Tried CGM (Stelo, continuous glucose monitor) and found out one of the drivers is alcohol - l follow my own rule of only drinking socially and on Fridays/Saturdays/major holidays/birthdays. Last Saturday, I drank 3/4 bottle of Riesling (white wine), and found my average glucose elevated by ~15mg/dl (~0.5% A1C) for the whole week. I was shocked. Needless to say stopped drinking alcohol! Getting old is not for the faint of heart. My liver likely can no longer process what I’ve been doing for decades…
