charles are you stronger than a rebel shock trooper no that girl could kick my ass man yes yes would you take the vaccine i've been asked this question many times there is no the vaccine that's like saying the pill uh by february there will be four vaccines approved in the united states but darren fiser johnson johnson and astrazeneca they're all different they all have different safety and efficacy and they use two different mechanisms of action one's mrna one's prominent viral vectors the one that i think is the safest and is going to have the least side effects based upon the data i've seen is the novovax vaccine which is coming up uh and they've just started their phase three clinical trial in the us it's not clear to me if they can use their clinical trial in the uk to apply for emergency use authorization if they can it'll come in february if they can't it'll come in april to may now that vaccine is just protein and agilent that's it there's no genetic material no cell interaction it's basically they take moth cells they use it to make the spike protein they scoop them all up they put them in nanoparticles and then they inject that into your body it's a foreign agent your body's immune system says whoa we got to do something here and it creates an immune response i firmly believe that that's probably going to be the safest bet there's ample evidence of that from hpv vaccine to other things that have done this in the past i think the hepatitis b vaccine as well that it works very well so i that's the one i'm gonna get if it's effective and of course we'll have safety data and so forth i don't think anything's wrong with the mrna vaccines i think they're quite safe i think they would never be approved in a commercial setting outside of emergency use authorization because the side effect profile is too high eighty percent of the people get them they have some reaction like really painful arm fever chills one person to fight their trial they shivered so bad their tooth crack that's not exactly consumer friendly no more tears shampoo type of vaccination uh the dosage is probably too high those formula probably needs to be rejiggered a bit maybe they should go from two to three shots who the knows if you were talking about normal consumer medicine no one would take it if if they have so much pain and we've seen a lot of people have problems with that now does it kill you no does it create permanent damage no it's just super uncomfortable for a day or two if that and that's okay to be super uncomfortable for a day or two to recover or be immune to a disease that has a 0.3 percent chance of killing you to be immune to a disease that can permanently strip you of your taste or cause myocarditis or vasculitis or brain problems or and uh or permanent damage to your lungs a brother is a doctor up in wyoming and you know he has a whole icu full of patients who have coronavirus right now some of which are in their 20s and 30s it's not just all old people and even when these patients recover some of them have permanent disabilities as a consequence of being affected with this including being on oxygen chronic fatigue where they're so tired they have a hard time taking a shower to say that i feel bad for a day or two to be immune to the potential of that i mean flip it would you take a vaccine that had a 0.3 chance of death and a higher chance of permanent disability no so then why are you volunteering to take that vaccine from infection by not taking the vaccine so i say you have two choices in the vaccine either nature's vaccine or man's vaccine and nature's vaccine you know what the side effect profile is of that and you can pretend like it doesn't exist there's a lot of full icus and a lot of people recovering millions of them who profoundly disagree with your assessment it's real it certainly has happened i know people who have died from this okay it's not the end all be all i mean there's certainly horrible diseases i remember traveling throughout africa i happened to be in a country during an ebola outbreak and i had to quarantine in that country for a while because they wouldn't let me out of the country the ebola camps that they had the mortality rate was sixty percent sixty percent six people out of ten would die the four who recovered almost all of them had permanent disabilities in some way or another uh severe disabilities in some way or another from recovering really terrible and what was so horrible about it was that one family member would go but you kind of knew the other family members were probably infected so they would show up a day or two later and you just watch them die one after another the mother dies on tuesday the husband dies on thursday two of the three kids died by saturday and just knew that that was going to happen all the way through horrible horrible disease coronavirus is not ebola okay so the problem with our media is it convinced the world the coronavirus was ebola and when it turned out that wasn't true it became like the parent who told you don't do drugs because if you do drugs your life is destroyed you do the drugs and your life isn't destroyed so your parent loses credibility so then you start believing that drugs are completely safe and totally safe and there's no problems at all with them and of course you know google florida man and you'll find out that those are problems right you know how many potheads do you know yeah marijuana is not too bad but god if you smoke it every day you're a loser more often than not you have no motivation you're not doing anything you're not in a high functioning part of society because you're always just stoned and nobody wants to work with a stoner come on we all know these people they're dredges uh and uh it's something you do in your 20s and hope that god you get out of it by your 30s so when your parents say don't do drugs they were kind of really telling you don't become that person but maybe they lied and said oh well it's ebola it's so bad it'll kill you and that's what the media did they lied about coronavirus they said coronavirus is the spanish flu coronavirus is the apocalypse it will kill you five percent of the time you're gonna drop dead and even if you don't drop dead everything horrible instead what they should have been is intellectually honest and said if you fall into these particular groups you're gonna have a really hard time now if you're outside of those particular groups you still could have a hard time but you'll probably be okay but do recognize that if you get it you are a weapon and you're going to be spreading it to the people who are vulnerable so until we figure out how to take care of these vulnerable people it's probably prudent that we as a society scale back a bit and be much more reasonable about things that's a moderate message that could have been pushed instead they lied they said if you are a kid who's 12 years old you're you are going to die if you get coronavirus at the same rate then if you're a 78 year old man with you know congestive heart failure and severe diabetes and 400 pounds come on come on there's no equivalent less than 100 children under the age of 14 have died of coronavirus almost all of them were immunocompromised or had a congenital disorders or other such thing it doesn't kill kids stop lying to people okay why are the schools closed not because we're worried about the kids because we want to protect teachers stop lying to people the media lied and lie and lied and lied and lied so people are sick of the lies myself included they start just thinking oh everything right but the real thing should be nature's vaccine man's vaccine side effect profile of nature vaccine side effect profile of men's vaccine and you compare and contrast it there's no equivalency there whatever we're injecting into people it is so much safer than what coronavirus will do you probably could inject horse urine into people and that be safer than what coronavirus does to people it's a horrible disease influenza is a horrible disease and 330 000 people have died of this we can argue about those numbers but let's be clear here a factor of three to four more have recovered with permanent disabilities i if you walked in in 2019 and told me that 1.2 million americans are suddenly going to be afflicted with something that permanently disables them is that a problem more than all the people who have died in world war one of world war two and u.s casualties having a permanent decision that's a tragedy it's a national tragedy of a scale that is unimaginable and that's what just happened if we had a vaccine none of that would happen almost all of them would have not had a serious case so are you telling me that these vaccinations are so damning and horrible and terrible that that somehow is going to be worse than the rest of what has already occurred come on be intellectually honest and don't dunning krueger your way out of this and be so self-assured and no just know it's all a hoax it's all a scam is there power down at oh yeah of course the government take advantage of people to gain power and the littlest and bully us of course do mass work maybe maybe not hard to say depends on the context how the war yeah it's nuanced i agree with you but don't for a moment believe that somehow man's vaccine is worse than what nature is giving us right now it's terrible what nature is giving us right now it's a natural it's a national catastrophe and it's going to hurt and it's already devastating to hurt a lot of people scientists found a way to get us out of this and government incompetence propaganda and bad media has exacerbated a problem that could have been resolved should we have done lockdowns no they were terrible ideas they made no sense who had the solution taiwan they studied it for 17 years after the first corona virus and they had a war map like no other country seven people died in taiwan of corona buyers seven of a country of 20 million people hyper urbanized everybody's living on top of each other taking mass transit seven think about that so could we have done better yeah and we should have and the real response to all this is let's get out of it and let's burn down every institution that us the rampant corruption and operation warp speed their incompetence where they had nine months to figure out how to distribute vaccines they can't even vaccinate more than two hundred thousand people a day uh the funding behind who got money and who didn't get money with operation warps before vaccine deployment the fact that these companies were left to their own devices to structure the phase three clinical trials why did none of these include sterilizing immunity trials in tandem with the vaccinations what does that mean it proves that the vaccines prevent transmission why would that be useful because it would end the quarantines it would end the social distancing it would end the mask wearing because you can't spread it after you've got we could have proven that was that baked into the clinical trials no why i don't know you tell me i'm angry as hell over how much bad stuff has happened throughout all of this but i'm not going to be part of the problem i'm going to get vaccinated of course why not it's not going to harm me i'm fine you know i'd have a better chance of developing a problem from all of the lifestyle things i've done throughout my life and the bizarre diseases i've contracted from lots of fever on other such things throughout my life than anything that these guys are injecting into me my brother and dad have already been vaccinated they're fine okay it's okay it's not going to create a problem here don't be part of the problem be part of the solution the part of the solution is hold every politician who us accountable demand economic analysis of the lockdowns and once they're proven to be non-effective fire every single person who's responsible for get restitution a class action lawsuit against the government in some way for the businesses that were destroyed in the lives that were destroyed the direct consequence of poor policy make a massive investigation into how the government conducted itself from contact tracing to supply chains to ppe uh to the vaccines go through the whole gamut and demand a unified national strategy for the next pandemic and if they can't come to one then have the private industry create one and fund them for it for about 20 billion dollars we can pre-make vaccines to the phase two clinical trial level for every single disease that could cause a pandemic and within four months we can have a vaccine in market had we had that proactively for coronavirus we would have a vaccine in may and if we could mass manufacture every american could have been vaccinated uh by the end of the year and corona would be gone we'd have maybe fifty thousand people then instead of three hundred two thousand people there are solutions to this these solutions will not get implemented if we as the citizenry do nothing we must demand it and hold people accountable some people need to go to jail some people need to have their reputations destroyed some people need to have their money taken away from them that they have through ill-got gains i would love to see if there's insider trading with novavax and modernity in particular why did a company with 375 employees on the edge of bankruptcy that had never deployed a mark product to market since 1987 when they were founded somehow get a contract for 1.6 billion doses when you look at all the different government contracts when and billions of dollars of subsidies and funding through operation warp speed if you actually believe that that company was capable of doing that there's too much risk in a small-scale organization being entrusted with that kind of capital why did the defense production act not be used to take over the company and nationalize the vaccine and open source it why not same for madeira never brought a product to market why not use the national the defense production act to take them over why didn't that happen monster salawi the vaccine czar used to be on the board of madarina before he became the vaccine star i guarantee you look at the stock price of novovax and how it went way up there is some sort of connection between the policy makers and that particular company it sickens me and that must be investigated absolutely must be investigated and we must be relentless as doggedly relentless as possible because here's what's going to happen four vaccines are going to be on market by february they're all probably going to be above 90 effectiveness by may we'll have at least five just us and then there's the global vaccines those five alone can vaccinate enough people that by june this is no longer pandemic for the united states okay it's over social distancing is over mass squaring is over some states will have it because they have control freak governors and so forth and here's what the government's gonna do god that was terrible we're so glad we're through it okay bye everybody everything's okay and try to sweep it all under the rug and pretend like it never happened and business as usual and move on it's only gonna be a problem if we make it a problem so in 2021 that's our duty as people to get involved so get vaccinated yes they're safe and let's get out of the immediate crisis and end this before a million people die of it and we have five million people with permanent disabilities and then let's hold an inquisition and burn the people down who are responsible for getting it to a point that a million people died getting it to a point that millions of people have disabilities when other countries had seven people die ugh charles are you sure the codius is actually dead or is it hasn't been in hiding what would happen if it re-emerged doesn't matter now they lost it was a window of time ripple could have had smart contracts before ethereum was even launched they would have owned the entire d5 movement and the ico revolution if you are another smart contract platform why are you not tron what what are you unique are you bringing to the table that's special and interesting and unique there's nothing there anymore so codius this time has come and passed you can launch codius 2.0 makes you dig bigger and you know it cures your cancer it doesn't matter they've lost it right okay which bands besides pink floyd do you admire the most you know i really love bob dylan uh you know he just wrote the best lyrics especially 1960s 1970s bob dylan uh i saw in concert i i went to red rocks wonderful venue in colorado outside of morrison and uh it's like built right into the mountains you have these wonderful uh open-air amphitheater and i was so excited i had my bob dylan shirt on and i'd go there and i brought some friends who were like real bob dylan fans and so forth and uh we had to wait for bob dylan to come and of course he's late because he's bob dylan right you never expect that guy to be on time and then i hear him sing and first off it sounds like he's been eating bowls of brillo pads washing it down with acid his voice was just messed up and terrible and i was oh god okay well i still can have the novelty of hearing bob dylan sing hurricane and tambourine man and all these great stuff and he refused to sing any of them not a single one he sung all this new stuff which was like jimmy buffett had sex with i don't know like pick your favorite bluegrass singer and it was like margaritaville bluegrass uh bob dylan it was crazy and half the audience left like within 45 minutes of the concert it was so bad and people were people are yelling like along the watchtower and he'd be like you i'm just going to do my thing bob dylan so vintage bob dylan great modern day bob dylan will uh we'll just pretend he doesn't exist i but i i love you know another guy i love uh jim crosh and unfortunately he died i think in 1973 of a um in a plane crash but he did um a lot of wonderful songs like uh operator but he also did uh time in a bottle and everybody forgot about jim crosh and then uh x-men did days of futures past or something like that and they had that lovely scene with um the guy who could slow down time or speed himself up uh quicksilver and it said i could have time in a bottle that was jim crouch and a wonderful art i really liked jim crow i also liked john denver as well and uh you know john also died in a plane crash as well in fact one of my best moments i watched a youtube video of john denver and johnny cash together and they were singing a duet for rocky mountain high and johnny cash was another one what's sad about cash was that he got this great manager and producer to work with him right before he died and he did all these amazing albums and he did these amazing covers like uh he covered marilyn manson personal jesus he covered uh trent reznor hurt in fact the hurt cover was so good that rezner was like i don't own the song anymore it's like people are going to think i covered johnny cash's song so i loved johnny cash both vintage cash like a boy named sue that's a great one um boston is another band i really enjoy in 1976 they were kind of a one-hit wonder one album wonder they came out with more than a feeling and then long time incredible jam band and i saw them in person at fillers green down in uh down in arapahoe in centennial excuse me uh here in colorado a few years back and a great concert the doobie brother was open for him i really enjoyed it gotta love journey as well i saw steve miller in journey years ago at the pepsi center and then i liked steve miller so much when i had the ihk summit in 2019 i called steve miller up and i was like steve what are you doing he's like well nothing i say uh you know can you come miami and play at my uh my conference and he's like well you know pay me a lot of money i'll do it i said well okay i'll say well i also talked to ccr a little earlier today and the clearance credit revival is going to you know come and uh right they can't be revival anymore they revisit it they're going to come and play for me and uh steve's like well i've never you know i've never played with them before okay maybe we can make that happen so i got ccr and steve miller to come and play and boy that was a lot of fun a little expensive for steve because he charged me to fly all of his guitars out and i thought for sure that wasn't going to be very expensive but he flew 14 guitars to miami and that was fun uh but god it was great concert hung out with him backstage and uh got to see him and uh steve's getting a little older but i really enjoyed it um you know been to phoenix arizona all the way to dakota philadelphia atlanta l.a and of course you have dan larimer's favorite song take the money and run uh but steve did great work and then ccr rocked it absolutely they fortunate son you know born in the bayou they were going all and they just got some great people in that band they got this kid from sundance that's doing all the vocals and god he's good so i really enjoyed ccr it was just a great concert private concert that uh that we put on uh and uh you know the other thing i really love is uh as i mentioned is pig floyd uh but you know there's actually two cover bands for pink floyd that are incredible there is the pink floyd experience and there's brit floyd i actually tried to get them to play and they were both overbooked and super busy but next time i do the irish case summit i'll see if i can get them to come and maybe get uh either waters or gilmore i'll blow upset waters because that goddamn opera that he did i went and saw it was horrible so maybe i'll get gilmore to come and just have him play with like brick floyd and i'll say okay it's pink floyd gilmore's here it's pink floyd it's okay we're good we're good um god who else do i love with bands i've met a lot of musicians you know i really like charlie daniels as well i was going to have him come play it's really cheap to get you to play i saw him at the golden nugget all the time so i used to go to i go to nfr every year on the national finals rodeo in december it's the first week of december in las vegas and charlie daniels almost always would be there in frontier days up in wyoming and so i just go and see charlie daniels play you can get great tickets for like forty dollars it was you sit in the front row seat he had this eighty year old guy come out there and just jam for two hours and say where does he find the energy this is this is absolutely remarkable and unfortunately charlie daniels died this year and i was really sad about that because he's uh he was a hell of a guy he played with elvis he played with johnny cash he played with bob dylan he was in that tennessee music circle right in the 1960s where like everybody knew each other and they all played with each other uh and his claim to fame a lot of you guys probably heard the devil went down to georgia and uh that's just great song he's just fiddling it up and everything lots of parodies behind it i can't stand any of the the new pop stars i've had some hearing loss over the years and the auto tune new pop stars i can't even really fully grok the lyrics a lot of cases so i guess i've become an old man uh and uh also there's just no musical talent there it's just a manufactured in a laboratory and they run them for a few years and then replace them with another model and replace them with another model you know exit katy perry come in this model and it's uh it's bereft of anything i think lady gaga is incredibly talented though and she's like a spiritual successor to cher and madonna and she kind of did her own thing and she has a lot of natural music talent and she's was trained properly and has the right pedigree and so forth a little biased because we have the same lamborghini although mine's a spider same color though uh so yeah god is interesting yeah there's a lot of bands out there a lot of classical musicians that are tremendously talented as well like uh valentina and lucizia she's a ukrainian pianist and probably the best pianist alive right now absolutely just remarkable and she did something that fubias can do she played everything that beethoven ever wrote uh and also the same for chopin and played it probably better than beethoven she's like franz liszt with uh with the feminine twist uh so there's some great pianists there and one of the joys i had when the world was open is that i'd always try to catch an opera or a symphony and especially all the european travel it was very easy to go see the you know the the berlin philharmonic or you know the vienna orchestra or go to the zurich opera house and see a nice performance or something like that it's just like it's a nice evening and i really enjoy doing those things so i'm very eclectic and diversified musical taste a lot of really cool music happening in africa you know i was in rwanda i just met with president kagame and i was in kagali and they said you have to go to this after party for this africa transform summit i said sure and so i show up and they had all these young like techno rap classical cello traditional african artists uh that were there just doing stuff and i was like whoa what is this i don't know what's going on but it's amazing i'm both confused and aroused at the same time it's strange and magical so uh there's some really cool stuff going on there in the rwandan music scene in the academy music scene uh you gotta give you gotta give credit where credit's due okay i think i've lost everybody with my uh my musical ramble and i gotta get out of here at some point it's been going on for three hours you know i've lived a hell of a life and one of these days i'll have to write a book about it i've been in 52 countries i've met tons of heads of state world leaders fortune 500 ceos a lot of musicians a lot of creative people and i've really enjoyed all of uh all of my time and it's just getting started it's just getting better you know i met elon musk before he was cool i went to cu boulder and he used to fly there all the time uh because uh his brother is based in boulder kimball there is a little restaurant there called the kitchen he still cooks he's a billionaire it's crazy and he'd go to see ebola recruit because you have all these brilliant aerospace engineers and they'd just be like we're not worthy we're not worthy so they would go and apply to work for elon and to be like yeah yeah you can work at spacex but i'm gonna pay you like twenty thousand dollars a year they get a job at boeing for like two hundred thousand they're like whatever you say great dealing we shall work for you uh so that was a lot of fun it was a lot smaller back in the day um he was like known in the circles but nobody in the world kind of really knew elon too well and so you could walk up to him and be like mr mask can i take your picture be like all right sure i'm sure that doesn't happen much anymore talking heads yes that's another great band and queen we cannot forget queen that's another great band as well do you and he get along elon musk and i i don't think he remembers my name or much about me met him a few times i've met his brother a few times his brother probably served me dinner at some point throughout my life at the kitchen uh no i'm very small fish compared to a big guy like healing and you know there's a great legacy there so elon musk only met steve jobs once he was at a party in silicon valley and jobs didn't think very much if elon musk so there's a passing of the baton there so i've only really met elon musk one really significant time and i'm sure he didn't think too much of me so there's a passing of the baton so hopefully i've been anointed to be the next elon musk if if that transitivity holds from jobs to must to charles but that's probably ego talking the berlin philharmonic is a great place you can hear someone fart across the room the last time i heard them play i went to berlin and heard them do beethoven's uh ninth symphony at the brandenburg gate i showed up a little late there was already too many people there they had closed the entrance so i snuck in to the conference i found a hole in the gate and i kind of crawled through it and i got in and i managed to sneak my way as close to the front as possible but it was i may have done some things that were slightly illegal to do that but i saw them play and god it was amazing i took some videos one of these days i'll share it with you guys over uh over twitter you guys are getting all the inside information we got to get all of 2020 out just got to get 2020 out it's done 2021 is going to be amazing 2020 was horrible so we're just all commiserating on our our shared misery elon musk is truly a great african-american technically true he was born in south africa he is the richest african-american in the world thoughts on simulation theory i don't have time because i don't want to keep going to talk about that today but i promise you i will do a monologue on bostrom and simulation hypothesis and the philosophy behind it and so forth so the next time guys next year we'll talk about it hyperbaric update we are buying the hyperbaric chamber my secretary michael lacadouda he's been doing extensive research and we're trying to figure it out because the garage that we're putting it in is also going to have an ice chamber and it's going to have a floatation tank so in the same room i'll have a shower a flotation tank so an isolation tank an ice bath that i can get in and do wim hof training and a hyperbaric chamber how about that i'm going to get the heating and cooling and all this other stuff done and also we have to insulate it and temperature control the room plus we have to sound dampen so i am definitely doing the hyperbaric chamber to follow the jerusalem protocol that was recommended uh 90 minutes five times a day uh five times a week excuse me uh so what i'm probably gonna do is take my daily reading that i do and just read in the hypeberic chamber and follow the protocol now if we do this i'll i'll do methylation tests for you guys and i'll do a before and after i talked to one of our aydah fans dr lesser he's based out of florida brilliant guy and we'll probably rig something up where we can test my biological age before and after and see if the hyperbaric chamber did anything for me hypothetically increases your telomere length by up to 35 which is incredible and i think it really has some great regenerative effects so we'll find out you left ethereum can you say something to the cardano community that you won't leave cardano either just to increase confidence for the cardano community well mr singh i was at ethereum from december of 2013 to june of 2014. my leaving of that was mutual i didn't want to stay and they didn't want me to stay and we didn't agree on philosophy or strategy i felt for sure they were going to go bankrupt the project was going to fail and the people who bought in the ico are probably a class action lawsuit there was no reason to stay very lucky they raised 18 million only 500 000 was left before ethereum hit market and if the market moved in a different direction no one would talk about ethereum there definitely would have been a legal event most likely a lawsuit at the end of all of it because the funds were not spent in the cleanest and bestest of ways okay that's just the fact whether they want to admit it or not and laura shin and the others will dig all of that out in their books and make plenty of money reminding the world that it was not the prettiest of launches cardano i've been at now for almost six years working tirelessly on that which is 12 times larger longer uh than ethereum so if that's not an indication of my passion and resolve for this project the fact that we're just kind of scaling up uh i i don't know how else i can convince you so you have to just look at facts and patterns i've been working cardona since 2015 uh and it's it's the most meaningful product and project of my life and the whole point of building cardano was that i could use cardano to then go do things in africa for billions of people not just in africa but across the world those who don't have economic identity so it's in my best interest for that platform to be useful for as many people as possible which portends sticking around for a long time that's what i wanted to do with ethereum we were talking about holland's in the developing world i cared a lot about that when i left they started talking to jp morgan they started doing a lot of fortune 500 stuff they did a lot in europe and a lot in america and great for them and they certainly have a great market cap but not a lot of ethereum in the unbanked world so let's go do that michael saller yeah he's crypto guy rocket scientist uh created a great educational initiative sailor university you know standard big scale investor like a tim draper just a little smarter uh and it's good to see him in the crypto space what is the cost of a hyperbaric chamber um they run them anywhere from 10 grand to 50 grand it just depends on the bells and whistles and the supporting infrastructure around it i'm a little worried about safety i want to be able to operate it myself without problems and so there's a long history of new age entrepreneurs who have killed themselves with their experiments that they've conducted so i i don't want to be another one of those numbers so everything i do is very safe like i get the isolation tank i use them all the time that makes sense kovitz stopped that i couldn't use the places that i used that's why i'm buying one and ice bath i kind of get that too i know how to treat hypothermia i think i'll be okay a little concerned about hyperbaric never done anything there yet also doing a lot of biofeedback work just bought a mendy we'll see what that does don't you need a toilet break soon i have taught before sir you develop an iron bladder once you lecture peter schiff i've met peter schiff many times throughout the years most recently in 2017 at a at the aspen institute uh peter's peter we call him doctor doom the economy is always collapsing gold is always king euro pacific capital has the one truth and uh now uh bitcoin is uh is the enemy why because it's the single greatest threat the gold investment uh the set of people buying gold is diminishing every year and transferring over to crypto and that's a huge threat to peter and peter is ill-equipped to be able to play in our space so he's doing what everybody does he's protecting his turf bitcoin's a scam rah-rah-rah he said the same thing to me in 2017 and eric voorhees and the rest of the gang and we keep telling him eric no and he's like no it's all going to collapse there's no value whatever peter's peter he's an artifact you know there are a lot of people in those mises austrian economic side that you know some are very good i like tom woods tom's a good guy makes me laugh slip note the slip box method iron bladder is my new death metal bat i have a story about this so carlo vicari used to work for me years ago back when we first came into etc and we were in malta together and carlos like charles you know dolphins raped people and i was like carlos that that carlos made up he's like no no they have these rape cops they'll actually like grab a person and take them into a cove and rape them and i looked at carlo and i was like you're telling me there are dolphin rape codes it's like yeah and then we had this awkward silence for a little bit i looked at him i said you know that's perhaps the best death metal band name i've ever heard in my life dolphin rape cove so guys it's open somebody's going to take it and be the next metallica it's going to be great favorite board game is chess considered a board game can i get away with that i don't want to be like one of those hipsters and have to be like settlers of caton by the way i never confirmed if dolphins actually do that so i do not want to impugn the character of dolphins everywhere they save people from sharks they have really cool sonar apparently the navy trained them to like blow up ships or save ships from being blown up i can't remember there was some sort of dolphin navy connection so i don't want to impugn the dolphins and i feel bad about them being caught in tuna nets i'm just saying i heard from reliable people that there are dolphin rape coves whether it's true or not so i'm gonna have all these like dolphin loving people in the comments section how dare you flipper was magical what was that sea world ocean world where they had the intelligent dolphin that talked chess is a board game i'm gonna go with it i'm gonna go with it have you ever watched avatar the last airbender yes i watched the animated show and i saw the m night shyamalan movie and then i spent a long time trying to forget that i watched the m9 shyamalan movie and the twist is it's a movie have you tried long-term fasting yeah the longest fast i've ever done is i went two weeks to uh of not eating just water two weeks long have you read paul stamos oh i absolutely do i have two of his books right over there uh and uh he's he's a good mycologist there are other people that are of equal prominence perhaps better but interesting guy and uh very evangelistic about mushrooms love his little mushroom cap and he's certainly done a lot for getting people to be aware of the power of mushrooms what's your favorite movie probably the best movie overall as a movie like check every box was there will be blood with daniel day-lewis that was the most entertaining movie or fun to watch but just constructed as a movie you know in every part from cinematography to dialogue and so forth my favorite movie probably is um blade runner 2049 love danny villanue there's so much depth in that movie and it's magical and it was stayed true to form where the uh blade runner was not commercially successful oh pulp fiction yes how the can we forget that yeah it was a great movie as well just out there are you still stagging if you delete the wallet yeah because your wallet deletion is a local event and the staking has to be changed by a transaction on the blockchain the the big lebowski amazing movie as well jeff bridges unfortunately has cancer i hope he survives i actually wanted him to become to be the master of ceremonies for the iowa k summit we're going to do a whole dude thing and then william shatner we talked to him i unfortunately couldn't do it because it was scheduled conflict then we talked to steve wozniak he had just had hip surgery so he couldn't do it so we uh we went with someone else to be the mc but jeff bridges was my first choice danny villanues says that dune is the best movie he's ever made i'd certainly hope so he's been wanting to make dune for 20 years and oh my god every movie he's made like an audition to do that so doom better be good it better be so amazing like world changing amazing or else i'll hate him for the rest of my life what was in the briefcase it's an allegory for desire what do you think about blockchain that is used to verify donations to charities and verify charity transactions to so they know the exact amount going to the cause great idea i'd love to see something proposed in the dc fund specifically for that especially for faith-based organizations so much money goes out and you don't get a proper accountability for debbie does dallas you also have the popsicle stick debbie does dallas robot chicken parody how about that yeah yeah i didn't think that was coming did you but it did favorite rock monitor piece come on now the third piano concerto absolutely extraordinary valentine elizatia have her have her player she's the best he made a lot of great preludes as well i played some of them actually back when i used to play the piano eyes wide shut stanley cooper's last movie came out 1999 this great movie tom bruce and nicole kitman dmt stories well if i had any i would have to save those for joe rogan guys rogan after gogan what's your favorite spice girl you see i'm too young for the spice girls to have been prominent for me you have to ask me what is my favorite my little pony because i'm writing the age group for that see todd you gotta you gotta know your audience you gotta know that come on todd oh spice girls were huge in elementary school why i didn't go to elementary school i was home school so yeah how about that that's why i graduated at 15. very awkward going to college as a 15 year old don't do that who's the most powerful man in crypto soon to be janet yellen she has within her power to make bitcoin two hundred fifty thousand dollars or five thousand dollars or somewhere in between there's no person more powerful than that uh i'm not gonna answer that one yet i'm looking for this one right here just came in ah from tio uh hi charles i'm still waiting on you to drive your super car on the uh driver's seat car on the racetrack in vegas i've been looking at the new mclarens the 720s do you guys have any of those in stock the other thing is you know we're in a weird supercar reality right now where they're all going battery and the battery-powered ones are like 1200 1500 horsepower and they're insane like the new roadster for example it's like 1200 horsepower zero to 60 in 1.8 seconds it's insane absolutely insane so yeah i i would only take the time to go to the track and drive something if you guys have the new stock like uh i don't know a porsche 918 with the hybrid train or a mclaren 720s why janet yellen because she controls u.s policy on cryptocurrencies and she can decide to be thumbs down or thumbs up or somewhere in between and based upon those decisions we'll see hundreds of billions of dollars of institutional money enter the cryptocurrency space or not so she's very powerful in that respect we do but don't drive a mclaren they are terrible they break after two times you know my oil pump went out in the lamborghini at twelve thousand miles cost eight thousand dollars to fix it don't tell me about breaking cars you bastard the italians we make it a good car kind of like a [Music] no cozy cozy but you gotta love it i actually got that because i work for uh polymath i did polymesh and they paid me a consultancy and i said well i'll get a lamborghini with it it was my one superfluous expense i drive nothing but cadillac's and trucks and i said well i've always wanted to have one of these so i was in a position where i had these tokens these other things and i said it let's do it so you can thank paulie for the labbie not italian italian keep out is favorite arnold schwarzenegger film oh my god that is the hardest question i think anybody's ever asked me i think probably predator was the most complete of all the schwarzenegger films it's standalone it's just timeless you can watch it today it's just as good as the day it came out i mean everybody says terminator 2 was like the high point and there's a lot of great stuff in his career but that or total recall we're both great see you at the party house he throws the arms oh my god oh that was so good what was the first car you ever owned a dirt poor out of fort taurus oh clunky taurus lp 610 spider oh this guy this guy no you know i've seen this guy he's like all over the comments section he's all over twitter besides being like part of the paint chip for kate he can't even get his lies right we did a public disclosure about how much data we hold it's 2.4 billion he claims there's 5 billion and we received that data as compensation as part of the development contract to bill cardano the valuation of the ada at the time it was given was 6 million dollars very small amount relatively five-year development agreement for a large team in addition to the bitcoin fiat received but uh this guy keeps going every channel every time says the same lie says the same lie says the same lie and so forth i think it was the person that reached out to me over telegram and told me i needed to burn for some reason all of the ada that my organization holds because it's not fair i told him he was an idiot and then banned him uh blocked him on telegram and then uh after that moment every single ama and youtube video i make he comments on it and also goes to twitter and cc's the sec and post screen captures of me calling him an idiot for telling me to destroy my own money of my company that was earned for commercial services perform this is an example of a bad person just a bad person a misguided stupid bad person who holds a grudging vendetta uh because he didn't get his way and that's what they do i'm a bad guy because i'm successful dude i've been in bitcoin for a very long time i've been in the crypto space for a very long time the three projects bitshares ethereum cardano that i created uh collectively hold a market value above 80 billion dollars and that's just the projects i created not the work i did in bitcoin the bitcoin receipt back when a bitcoin was a dollar think for your self i'm a successful entrepreneur you know and i've been in a very successful industry the most successful industry in the last 10 years in human history and that's called being successful you're not you're a loser who just shows up and just rants again and again and again and again and again trying to piggyback on other people's success and i really don't appreciate the things that you do this is my pro i opened up the ama it's a good way to bookend what we're talking about it's the longest ama i've ever done fitting way to end 2020. i talked about empathy understanding people knowing their motivation where they come from what they do and actions speak far louder than words you know everybody can tell you how honest they are how great they are how big their dick is but at the end of the day i follow the paul helmos way of doing things paul halmost was a famous mathematician and he was a great mathematician but he was a better writer and he followed something called the inductive writing method so he'd write the first chapter then he'd write the second chapter go back and rewrite the first chapter then he'd write the third chapter and then go back and rewrite the first and second chapter and so forth so it took him a really long time to write a book they'd all be very small the first chapter would be phenomenal last chapter would be incomprehensible but he had this great method he said tell him what you're going to do do it and tell them what you did that's math and how most was just a genius in that respect this great hungarian mathematician i really admired him i never had a real chance to meet him he died a little bit uh earlier the before i had a chance to get too big into math and i really wanted to because i so admired the way you wrote and thought and so when we look at cryptocurrencies it's like tell them what you're gonna do we're gonna build cardano okay so some people took the risk and we went and did it a lot of people actually 9 914 in japan korea uh other places in asia and three core entities that work really hard and then we did it we built carton and we released it in september of 2017 and that we kept working on hundreds of updates throughout the last four years we got it to a point where 1200 stateful operators are here million lines of code 91 academic papers hundreds of thousands of community members listed on 30 plus exchanges there's tons of success there and a beautiful road map for how that we can match or exceed every single cryptocurrency in market we know how to do it and so for inevitability in terms of capabilities and we did this in a very uncertain environment we did this in an environment with a million problems we had issues with the cardano foundation with michael parsons we had product managers that didn't work out project managers that didn't work out we chose the worst language you could choose to build this thing in haskell we somehow survived we had to build up the language itself and then the haskell community some members of it attacked us for bizarre reasons like oh crypto is using haskell for reputation laundering let's write blog posts about it meanwhile we're investing millions of dollars to make haskell work on webassembly and javascript and funding the haskell foundation and uh and other such things it's been a hell of a journey you know and we did it we got it over the line this was our year shelby shipped no one thought it was going to it did it was the hardest single launch in the history of our industry women from a static and federated system to a dynamic and decentralized system and now we're in the tell them what you did phase because there's a gap between what's actually in market and what people perceive to be in market so we have to spend a big chunk of 2021 just telling people that about what cardano is because it's a leviathan it was built to last you know and that was five years of my life the hardest five years i've ever had in my life uh and i didn't have to spend these years this way i could have just rested on my laurels and you know and i could have easily just gone off to the mountaintop not really worked so i'd already reached enough success by the time i launched cardano that life was gonna be pretty easy for me no matter what i chose to spend half a decade of running around the world going to 52 countries running a company building all of this because i legitimately felt that the things that we were building could make a difference in the world and what happens is that when you do these things it creates a beacon for some people to just go out there and beat the hell out of you and uh used to bother me it really did it used to just eat the away from me and i just be like god who are these people but now it's makes me sad i just feel pity because i think god this person lives in a world that's so small that no matter how much evidence you give them or what you show them or what you've accomplished what you've built what you can do with what you've built they still believe what they believe and it's just like dealing with a flat earther you know it's like dealing with somebody who thinks the earth is 6 000 years old you just can't convince those people you can't get them over the line you really just can't push them in that direction and you feel so much pity because at the end of the day their lives are terrible because of that perspective they never achieve great success they never get respect from their peers they they never get a good life which is why they got the chip on their shoulder and the victim complex and the anger they feel like they've gotten a bad shake and they feel like the world's against them but they don't have the emotional intelligence or skills to admit the reason why they didn't get a fair shake is because they burnt themselves to the ground it's like seeing an addict or an alcoholic who can't admit that they're an alcoholic or any of these people laden with problems and they can't admit that they have problems so that's i guess the book end of all of it you know it's in a year in closing 2020 it's been a very hard year for all of us and what taught me especially watching all the tragedy like i remember when the markets completely collapsed and there's blood in the streets and everybody was panicking and i went out there and i said the only thing we have to fear is fear itself i quoted fdr i think in that video it's in my office and i didn't have a single concern i said you know what we've been through this before we will recover we will prevail we will get through all of it and sure enough we did the world got better things got better hope came it's clear that this is ephemeral most tragedies are but what it did leave me is that we need to be more empathetic we need to care about each other more we need to understand other people's perspectives i honestly do try to understand these critics perspectives like i get max kaiser and tone vase because i know what makes them money they do and say the things that they do and say because that's their business model it's the same for chico crypto that's his business model and he scaled it down a little bit because of litigation but at the end of the day it's still his business model you know and that's how he exists that's what he does and that's how he gets clicks okay so i understand that and i don't take it personally which makes me profoundly sad is when people have these perspectives that hurt themselves or hurt others and there's no reason to have that perspective and it's impossible to convince them otherwise that person who posted that i'm sure in his mind 100 percent believes i'm a con man and scammer who's trying to hurt people in this industry and that cardano is not real it has no real value and it's a bad thing for everybody you can spend the next 10 years putting paper putting progress putting partnerships and things in front of that person and he'll set it on fire because there's nothing that you can show him to convince him otherwise that's just who he is is is his perspective on life it's the same with the anti-faxers or these other people they just think they're right and you just can't have a conversation you can't connect because they've defeated themselves and that's the biggest challenge i think that we have to overcome in the coming years that empathy gap and the inability for us to have conversations anymore it's getting much much much much worse um now there are so many people on the political spectrum the religious spectrum the scientific or anti-science spectrum the crypto spectrum who are incapable of evolving and growing and listening and learning and being able to adapt and change to new ideas it's impossible donald trump lost the election guys it happened you might believe it's because of fraud or not fraud who knows but he lost and joe biden will be president of the united states this should not be a controversial statement just should not it's a reality it's a fact we live in it and in 20 days time it will be validated every single time i've mentioned this in a video i've had people sincerely post comments saying you are wrong just you wait and see biden will never be present and they believe it they would literally give all their money put it on black they'd bet on because they believe it with that much sincerity and then when it happens not happens on the 20th present he's being sworn in it's going to be like this catastrophic cognitive dissonance and then they'll have to construct some elaborate mental construction the catholic church actually ran into this when pope benedict stepped down the fundamentalist catholics in the catholic church that a pope cannot resign so when pope francis came in they said he is the illegitimate pope only pope benedict is legitimate until he dies francis cannot be pope you can't say anything to convince them otherwise even benedict the pope who's infallible says i am no longer the pope he is the pope i am the pope emeritus they still believe benedict is the pope these fundamentalist people catholic church and same thing will happen here so i don't know how to solve that and all i know is there's an empathy gap and people have a lack of understanding and lack of appreciation for evidence and that's going to be the great challenge of my generation in our time is how do we as a society overcome it because it is getting worse the divisions are getting worse people are starting to hate each other people are starting to excommunicate each other i have a cousin who married or i guess is in a serious relationship with a gender studies uh phd and she's just offer rocker and apparently she's made a mandate that he's not allowed to see my uncle and on his family they're super tight his family and him and he can't see his family because she says she doesn't feel safe around them because they don't accept her for her lifestyle or studies or whatever the hell it is i just can't imagine that having this bizarro perspective on things where because people disagree with your field of study or the things that you do you have to take it to a level where you tell a person's son you can no longer see your father or mother or other family members for the rest of your life that's happening it's now happened to my extended family it's it's happened a lot of other families as well cult is destroying people and if you try to go and reason with this person and say do you think that's appropriate you talk about harm and microaggressions and psychological trauma what type of psychological trauma are you inflicting on him by denying him his family that he's loved for 30 plus years over the head it's the world to live in and that is the great challenge of our time is how do we overcome that how do we bridge those gaps how do we get people to understand each other i have strong disagreements with eos and tazos i've been very vocal about that as i do vitalik and these other guys uh but you know what i don't delight in their suffering and i applaud them when they do great things for example when ethereum two launched i said congratulations vitalik that's the world we should live in that's the world i'd like to live in and let's make 2021 the world that makes that happen all right everybody it's the longest ama i've ever done almost four hours straight of me talking how about that i went from like eight a.m eight pm to twelve uh p.m i went to midnight pretty crazy happy new year let's all have a much better year than the year that came before cheers
