My two major life tasks?
We should not desire a life without strife —
Human suffering x human flourishing Lex Fridman(01:10:13) And suffering. It’s really complicated to consider that some amount of human suffering is necessary for human flourishing. Elon Musk(01:10:22) Is it possible to appreciate the highs without knowing the lows? Lex Fridman(01:10:29) And that all is summarized there in a single statement from God. Okay. Elon Musk(01:10:34) No highs, no lows,…
Jeff Bezos(00:11:19) Earth really is the good planet. It’s amazing. The ecosystem we have here, all of the life and the lush plant life and the water resources, everything. This planet is really extraordinary. And of course, we evolved on this planet, so of course it’s perfect for us, but it’s also perfect for all the…
Jeff Bezos(00:08:54) I would love to see a trillion humans living in the solar system. If we had a trillion humans, we would have, at any given time, 1,000 Mozarts and 1,000 Einsteins. That our solar system would be full of life and intelligence and energy. And we can easily support a civilization that large with…
Junior vs Senior Jeff Bezos(01:30:49) Yes, and that’s true inside companies too. And so you want to set up your culture so that the most junior person can overrule the most senior person if they have data. And that really is about trying to… There are little things you can do. So for example, in every…
Humans are anti truth Jeff Bezos(01:28:44) And take you back in time 10,000 years and you’re in a small village. If you go along to get along, you can survive. You can procreate. If you’re the village truth-teller, you might get clubbed to death in the middle of the night. Truths are often… They don’t want…
If you had unlimited funds, what would your ideal gym be and look like? Hmmm
When I started Amazon, I didn’t have to develop a payment system. It already existed. It was called the credit card. I didn’t have to develop a transportation system to deliver the packages. It already existed. It was called the Postal Service and Royal Mail and Deutsche Post and so on. So all this heavy…
Easier businesses to do the challenge right now is driving really hard to get to is to get to rate manufacturing and to do that in an efficient way, again back to our cost point. If you get to rate manufacturing in an inefficient way, you haven’t really solved the cost problem and maybe you…
Jeff Bezos(00:29:10) I mean, when you look at the physics of rocket engines, and also when you look at parasitic mass… Let’s say you have an avionic system, so you have a guidance and control system, that is going to be about the same mass and size for a giant rocket as it is going to…
Inefficiency is key onto innovation (00:23:11) I think a lot of people, and they feel like wandering is inefficient. And when I sit down at a meeting, I don’t know how long the meeting is going to take if we’re trying to solve a problem, because if I did, then I’d know there’s some kind of…

We meant do not have menstrual cycles. Therefore, we should keep ourselves…
Some thoughts: Menstrual cycle or no menstrual cycle?  OK this is some super facts: if your wife, your girlfriend, your partner etc. has a menstrual cycle, certainly you should treat her differently than if the other person did not. Why do we deny our hormones? Testosterone versus estrogen; these hormones are critical. If a…
