Think 3D
So after a quick trip out of town, reading the new “book of Elon“, book on Elon Musk, great airplane read, and I suppose, some interesting thoughts: 
First, after reading more stuff on Elon Musk, and reminder of how he almost faced death, economic death of like at least three or four of his companies, which are like his children, I don’t think anyone really has a right to criticize him. Also another big thing that fools failed to recognize or acknowledge or have even half a brain about it, people criticizing how rich she is blah blah blah, but the big idea is that 99.9% of his net worth is simply linked to his shares or assets or his ownership of his stock his Tesla stock etc., which is simply a function of the market and how he is adding value to society. It’s not that like he has billions of dollars just in the bank account, and even something that Michael Saylor has commented on intelligently in the past is, there’s no rich person on the planet who has more than one percent of their net worth in their checking account. That the real intelligence smart rich people, they have all of their things in scarce, desirable assets.
products of the future
So I think one of the big ideas is, thinking about the future, obviously the future is key crucial critical end of most importance because, no future no life no humanity.
So I think really the killer feature of Tesla is the whole self driving idea. Technically, assuming you have to commute for a living or whatever… The ideal product is the cheapest self driving Tesla car. Because you don’t buy it for the card itself, you just buy it for the auto pilot.
 Second, trying to think more physics, first principles, and also… I think the big one, thinking sociological first principles.  
So I think still the more I think about it, the biggest blessing that I got from studying sociology was, questioning almost everything about social conventions. Like, why is it that we have to say XYZ, or, just be like a sheeple and follow the herd? 
Still the big reason why I encourage almost everybody to travel the most one can, within obvious limits is because the more you travel, the more you experience the planet and the world and different cultures etc.… essentially the more wise intelligent and, accurate, expensive you get about human nature. 
What a lot of people forget is, humans and society is probably the best invention and innovation of all time.  it is not products that we seek, but rather humans, social spaces social worlds, society that we seek. 
Why does this matter?
Time is the ultimate currency. Because it don’t matter if you’re a trillionaire, you cannot snap your fingers and magically live to be 1000 years old. Realistically, the upper limit for human life at least for men is probably 120 years max, I think what, 126 years for a woman.
And I still think what we have to remind ourselves is, it’s not how long you live, but truly the quality of life. 
For example, if you have a life in which you are chronically stressed, in anxiety, and your cortisol levels are chronically high, feeling like you’re perpetually have a gun to your head… No amount of anything is going to be worth it.
What type of life do we desire?
Kind of an unrelated thing a random book that I found on a shelf of a home exchange what, this ancient medical book by Marmoinides, one of the super OG, Jewish Arabic physicians. He quotes a lot of Galen and Hippocrates, and has very very simple direct and wise thoughts and lessons on health, digestion etc.
So even back then, the simplest remedy to almost everything is daily exercise and essentially watching what you eat. And even back then… They knew that honey, starches have almost any kind or essentially bad for your health. And also most bread etc. was bad for your health.
Then, he talks a lot about digestion, and I actually think this is a big thing that is not really talked a lot about in western literature,… how essential and critical health is, in regards to digestion.  the simplest remedy to most digestive issues seems to be pretty simple, some vinegar and cinnamon and mint of some kind,… but also typically, abstaining from beans legumes anything that causes flatulence. So essentially ignore any advice that you get from any modern day woke health podcaster, they are more driven by food ethics rather than the pure science of it? 
So what is science?
I went to the science center with Seneca the other day, and, I suppose maybe all along… I have always already been a scientist! In fact when I was a kid, what I desired more than anything was to be a scientist when I grew up.
Science is about being critical, questioning the facts, and having infinite curiosity. Always questioning assumptions, taking it back to the beginning.
So then, being a social scientist, and the truth is, human beings are the most complex things on the planet, more so than any sort of DNA, RNA or cancer cells. 
So why?
I think one of the most desired outcomes is, lying on your deathbed, surrounded by loved ones and family and children and lots of grandchildren, and knowing that the peace in your heart that, you lived good meaningful and fulfilling life, and also… The idea that, your legacy shall live on in your thoughts, your words, what you make, your products and also your children?
