Question: Charles if i have an idea for a game and don't know a lot about coding i should go about it go to coursera and take a game development class and take the python coding courses and write up the prototype yourself gotta have skin in the game you can't go and say i got a brilliant game idea i just need a developer to go do it you do the first version if you can't do it you're not worth someone's time you're going to get upset if this message gets on all my 30 questions sent it well i didn't see your questions it's moving really quickly sorry this is tired charles i'm having fun you guys having fun why not write a game in haskell terrible idea none of the game middleware works with it unity go dot all these other things i'm sure there's a framework that has bindings but now your experience is going to be terrible don't do that i have a beautiful voice oh shucks you know i was once told that i have a face for radio and a voice for silent movies think about that one why africa because it's one of those rare moments where you can make money build great products and change the world for everybody and make the world a better place it's very rare to see that will you still make a video about your thoughts on simulation theory i'll do it during an ama just keep asking about it i just uh haven't had time to really think too dick deeply about it i gotta go do the whole nick bostrom thing and then make some compelling argument why life matters and we have free will and we're all just silicon have you played monkey island would i be cursed if i did how about goblins did you play goblins sir was your sierra entertainment sir mathematical explanation for human deja vu no there's a cognitive reason for that if you understand a bit about neurobiology you'll get to it hi charles what are your thoughts on all the fud currently in the market uh markets always have fun welcome to crypto wouldn't be cryptic without fun they got a fud machine right out back pull the lever fud comes out well hell yeah son which one goblins goblins two what was your favorite goblins tell me all about goblins you guys know about goblins you guys should know about goblins how are transaction fees paid nata or another denomination transaction fees are paid in ada for the moment we are examining the idea of allowing native assets to pay transaction fees but that'll take a little bit time a lot of careful thought has to be put in you all keep asking about quantum computers i've answered the question a dozen times stop worrying about them you know i i love these questions again hey two pins see uh two pens charles could you please list out the reasons in order of importance why somebody would spend his hard-earned money investing in ada absolutely not it's not my job to tell you to buy ada honestly use your brain come on you know i build it and i tell you about the vision the mission the goals and what we're trying to do with the ecosystem and try to convince people to adopt the ecosystem and build on the ecosystem and tell you why the system needs to exist it's not my job to make a day trader rich over and over again for years in my career in this space i keep saying the same things i don't care about the speculative nature of the markets it's a rigged game convincing people that they can somehow get fabulously wealthy for no work whatsoever and they develop this bizarro mentality and 90 of them lose their money very few make money in the long term you don't think this way you have to get out of that illusion and that avarice and set it aside go beyond yourself and look at the world as a whole and have collective empathy and say this is a rare moment in human history when we are building systems that have the potential to unify all mankind together into common markets with common rules and those markets and rules aren't controlled by the united states in china and other empires but rather they're controlled by us collectively and every person from bill gates and elon musk and jeff bezos to the shepherd in senegal are treated exactly the same and have access to the same markets and no person is treated differently regardless of their geography their gender their race their sexuality their philosophical beliefs or their economic status this is a rare moment in human history and that's what we're doing that's why we build these protocols i spend my hard earned money on them far more than you could imagine i spend my hard earned time on them i could do a million things in life but i choose to spend it there because i recognize there is nothing else that i can do in life that is more meaningful why do i make video games and think about these things i need an escape valve because working in this field is so incredibly stressful just like george washington needed to write compulsively letters to his uh family uh back at mount vernon talking about where to put the trenches and the next barn and so forth while he was conducting the revolutionary war it was an escape hatch to not have to think every moment of every day about all the stressful stuff at the end of the day you have to focus on the matter at hand when the time has comes and that's what we do that's the point of cardona that's the point of my life's work and it might take a decade it might take two decades and we're all on this journey together if you're on this journey to get ada from price a to price b sell it walk away and then go buy a house or go buy a car or go brag to your friends about how smart of investor you are you have missed the entire point of our life's work and our labors and what we're trying to do it's about changing everything the definition of money securities properties identity voting all those things in life and if you don't care about that look at jack ma in china the richest man in that country one of the most powerful men in the country you tell me where he's at and what happened to him and then you tell me where the consequences of the system not working well would you ever work with sergey nazarov well of course he's got the beard he's got the flannel shirt yeah chainlink's a great product i've talked to sergey before and i'm sure we'll find something to do with them any news on cooperation was agi yes ben and i are going to do a podcast together at some point soon and uh signed a decision memo recently for some additional funding to that project but we're working really closely with them and we really do enjoy their engineers you would have to ask that come on now mcgregor mcgregor's son any optimism for diablo iv i hope so jack ma just made an appearance a few days ago actually well i'm glad to hear it he disappeared for a few months i'm sure he went through some re-education that's the point when you're the richest guy in the country yet a single statement ruins your business and then you have to go disappear and get re-educated that is not a good society absolutely not a good society and we should fear that coming our way how does ada help voting google catalyst look at idea scale cardano catalyst we're building a whole voting system here's a follow up right with all due respect this doesn't make any sense there's nothing wrong about wanting to buy aid in order to make money long term sure go ahead why do you make it sound so bad because it's not what i focus on it's not what i think about i couldn't care less markets go up markets go down you want to listen to a guy tell you sweet little lies about how great things are go buy something from justin's son or all those who come before him and after him you made money off of btc yeah because i believed in the vision of btc and i would still be working on bitcoin if bitcoin could evolve the reason why we worked on ethereum it wasn't because we wanted to build ethereum it was because we couldn't do color coins or mastercoin the right way you know the reason why bitshares came about because bitcoin couldn't work nothing made any sense you know every single time we'd say we need smart contracts no go yourself we need to change the consensus algorithm this cannot scale no go yourself bitcoin uses 87 terawatts of power 87 terawatts that's more than belgium at this point and as the price goes up it uses more it never goes down ever so it gets more and more centralized the mining operations get more and more vertically integrated more and more private more and more subsidized power that system is not sustainable it can't be by design these are known problems and the cult of bitcoin can't admit these known problems so those of us who knew they were known problems conducted an exodus and we went into the altcoin space and started building alternative experiments because we want the promise of the ecosystem to exist we would like people to be their own banks we would like people to be in charge of their own data and their identity because when they're not they get de platformed and they get compromised we would like people to be their own payment system and to get rid of swift and bif at bis and these types of things that is the goal that's why we do what we do that's why we build what we build that's why we go where we go not because it was all about making money no no no it's a lot easier just buy and hold bitcoin great but then what have you accomplished what have you done with your life you've gotten money but does your money even mean anything imagine the farmers in zimbabwe right when mugabe took over and the currency still had some value to it and let's say you want to retire see sell all your land and you get a bunch of the local currency 10 years later you can't even buy a sandwich with it because the currency collapsed if your life goal is avarice and you're chasing things not ideas you're chasing wealth and you're chasing power not relationships and experiences and principles and aiding your fellow man then at the end of the day you may achieve for a short period of time wealth and power but you will not achieve happiness in life you just won't so you take care of people you address your material needs and great and some people get very lucky and they accumulate lots of wealth but if they make that the center of their life it's pointless and my god what has our industry taught people a trillion dollars of value has been created by tokens living in magic internet money in the sky a trillion dollars i've been around so long to remember when they were worth a dollar and bitcoins market cap was 100 million dollars and we were like wow this is incredible and then suddenly it went to a billion we couldn't believe it it was impossible to have a capitalization that high is there any real material difference from that to a trillion no it's all numbers it's all made up fiat's made up money doesn't exist it's a human concept people exist social interactions exist kindness exists these are concepts that matter far more money is a necessary evil that we created in order to make society work and so far it's been okay but then we've convinced a bunch of people that that's the point of life and you know what it's a guaranteed way to be miserable and die miserable if you believe that so yeah if you want to trade make lots of money all the power to you but you'll get no sympathy or empathy or support from me because that's not what i do i wake up every day and i see how do i build a billion person system how do i build the best technology how do we grow these protocols in a way that they're maximally useful to as many people as possible and how do we take them into jurisdictions where they really matter it just so happens that when we do that and we build those things that it does actually create network value that of course will result in billions perhaps trillions of dollars of capitalization but that is an after effect of bringing millions to billions of people together when you do that you create value emergently you can't not create value emergently if you take 100 people and put them in a room for a day at least a few of them will pair up and create something a musical composition a piece of art a kid you can't not put humans together and expect them to create it's our nature to do that you create a network with billions of people in it you will create a society and if you embed within that network principles and values that transcend the ones we have in the legacy systems the society that you create is infinitely better and wiser and more just than the society that you came from so yes you can make money and go back into the fiat world and live very well congratulations it's not the point that i worry about but it's an open protocol and your mileage may vary do whatever you want to do and plenty of millionaires have been created cardano was started on 72 million every person who played that game they got to 11 billion if they stayed they did fine a lot of them are still here and they don't care because they love the philosophy some aren't it's up to you and you make those decisions like i've made my decision which one's better well i'm happy i love my life i love what i do i work for free personally i run a big company so we have to of course pay bills and my employees certainly won't but you know it's not the driving factor in my life and it never has been and i couldn't care about it hello charles have you heard of jean frasco and his work yeah the venus project interesting stuff sadie's dead are you ever going to write a book i am writing a book on governance due this year what about privacy in all this it is a human right the freedom of association conference and expression and privacy guarantees it uh i like this charles hoskinson more than the republican defender charles hoskinson i don't defend republicans i defend principles and ideas and every now and then the republican blob of politics crosses a path that i happen to politically agree with and every now and then the liberal blog of politics will cross a path that i happen to agree with and somehow some way i say that's a good idea and then they immediately start going into a direction that's crazy and that i disagree with that biden for example froze the fincen uh decision that mnuchin was pushing down that was a good thing and then immediately thereafter his treasury secretary terry nominee was starting to talk about a wealth tax and capitalized and taxing on uh unrealized capital gains and i said god this is just insanity what the are you doing so the republicans i like the fact that we didn't have a war in the last four years that was a good thing i'm very happy about that not murdering people is a good policy hallelujah i hated the corruption i hated the nepotism i hated the endless lies and i was certainly the first to talk about it that's why i called trump the orange goblin you see life is not binary you don't live republican you don't live democrat we're people and believe it or not people are can diverge from one political norm or the other and if you think that that's impossible then you're part of the problem you've been propagandized and you need to work at deprogramming yourself from that cult break out of that matrix what was your favorite red rocks concert i've only been to one at red rocks and i saw what's his name bob dylan it was terrible because bob was past his prime what are you drinking bro it's icelantic clash of water yeah it is filtered by volcanoes designed to separate idiots from the money like me foreign are you concerned about corrupt governments in africa don't we have corruption in cryptocurrency space mount gox wash trading ico scams big connect one coin uh multi-billion dollar icos that go nowhere with founders exiting guys it's like uh what batman was fighting bain and he's like i was born in the dark molded by it now whatever corruption africa's got we got more in our industry okay we're fine we understand this we know every scam of the book we know corruption and so forth i'm not worried about it all the old guys in africa are dying out the new people have taken their place are young well-educated westernized and they really want their countries to globalize catch ahead get rid of the corruption so you're finding a lot of young prime ministers you're finding a lot of young work leaders and they're fired up ready to go they eat their wheaties and they're done they want new things and they want better things and this is a grand opportunity to put better governments that are less corrupt more transparent and more accountable to their people than the government i have in my country so the corruption of the past is an opportunity for a future that's great and the experiences that i have living in the cryptocurrency industry for so long and dealing with this for so long has given me a lot of intuition about how to navigate those swamps and not get eaten alive we literally negotiated a deal in a country during a civil war how about that we got it done it looks like who knows we'll see in the africa special what the hell kind of question is this charles will consult with pornhub on scaling social porn social what is that especially in iran so you want me to make iranian social porn is that like a special type of fursuit what uh uh what do you think about ghana's free trade area it sounds promising i love acura ghana is one of my favorite countries in africa i love going there i love the food love the culture um there's other things i could say that were quite fun but not for an ama if i ever see any person there i'm sure we can chat god is a good place uh so it'd be fun to see what they're up to and what they're doing i'm not particularly familiar with any free trade legislation but every place in africa is starting to do that crypto dating app you first turned 50 years old today well happy birthday and i just asked my employer to transition the part-time work in order to give time to cardano i'm crazy hope to see you soon in italy well ciao john i and i think the old italian saying is in boca a lupo and you'd say back to me crepey lupo right uh into the mouth of the wolf it's always scary when you take the leap and i remember when i did 2013 i went full time into the cryptocurrency space i had no income stream i didn't know anybody and the only thing i had was a free course on udemy and i built a career out of it so that's pretty cool and thank you so much for being part of the family best place to start is idea scale uh and go and start playing around with catalyst fund three has just begun become an expert talk to people learn and uh you probably can get a project funded once you build some connections have you had any bad experiences in africa oh yes many many charles what are your views on nofap i'm not going to discuss it here but there is an interesting video from what i've learned so if you go to youtube you type in what i've learned nofap and watch that video uh i think that's pretty cool stuff your roy voting center oh yes you're always going to have that charles do you know where your italian ancestors came from oh you know somewhere in umbria some were in luxio some were in florence some were related to certain banking families that shall remain nameless and some were sicilian and the sicilians that met with the high-class ones created a schism and they got exiled so they had to go to new york they became new york italians which are a different uh different breed and the protaccio family and they went all the way through the east coast new jersey pennsylvania new york some went down to florida and my dad's side is all norwegians nordic stock they were sheep farmers and really nobody special the nazis invaded and they just left their farms and lived in ice caves for several years and blew up heavy water plants and killed nazis and then when the nazis left they went back and became sheep farmers again so very very interesting family they were part of the resistance or so the former family lawyer says this is another lie that people tell you wealth can allow you to time to pursue the things that matter to be fair most of us want that that's fair no that's a good end you'll find out that you need surprisingly little money if your lifestyle is constructed in the right way to actually be happy and pursue the things that you like marketing is a game of convincing you that you want something you don't need and you're willing to sacrifice the things you do need and love to get the things that you don't need you live in a world where you're bombarded all the time go to airport gia guerre-cut you have to have this watch look at this car look at that and they're fun and they're exciting but they're ultimately shallow the things that really matter in life are free or near free or you can borrow and you don't need to hold on to so actually no i disagree with uh that statement if you truly want something you want to pursue that thing to just make the leap and build your life around it bob ross is a great example of that he had a very secure lifestyle as an air force veteran he did his time he was getting a pension and most people say go get a middle management job and you know earn some money and then maybe part-time you can paint because that was his real passion art but instead he went into art and he was so poor that he didn't really have enough money to do something with his hair so that's why he had the afro because it was cheaper and it's like had no money at all why do you think he used such cheap paint brushes ghetto paint brushes because he had no money uh and he basically just did it because he was passionate about it he loved it and whether he made money or didn't make money that wasn't the driving feature in his life he was happiest when he was there in the moment painting the zen of the moment the happiest people in life you meet are people who have purpose and people who have the capacity to live in the present and not let the small stuff bother them the most miserable people are the people who are burdened with so many concerns and usually wealth accumulates concerns more than you can imagine what do you think of hedera hashgraph i always have these hashgraph people they come on into my channel they ask me a question what do you think of hashgraph and i always give them the same answer i don't care if you patent i don't look at you to this day i know nothing of how entrue works probably a pretty reasonable lattice-based signature scheme that's immune to quantum computers but i don't know nor do i care why well because it's patented and therefore i will never look at it or use it or recommend it to anyone you patent something i don't care about you they patented the blockchain it's not a blockchain it's not a cryptocurrency it might as well be a database because somebody has the ability to turn it off and sue the people who use it if they don't listen to that person so it's not a cryptocurrency so maybe the science is valid maybe the science is not valid maybe they've solved all problems maybe they haven't solved problems i couldn't care less open source all of it get rid of the patents and then we'll talk what are your thoughts on the q and on conspiracy theorists you know the thing about conspiracy theorists is that you never judge them by the things that they say they never get accountability alex jones has this problem you know if you listen to alex jones in 1990s and you actually take his predictions and you map them you'll find that almost all of his predictions were wrong they didn't happen then in the 2000s he got a little bit more clever and he figured out how to speak in a way where he wasn't so committal but there were still issues there and they were all wrong it's just like the religious scholar who says the doomsday is coming i think pat robertson even played at that game but a lot of them did they wrote a books oh the world's coming in this year in 1980 something the world is coming in here the world is coming in here right the doomsday cult people the world is good then it doesn't happen there's always some divine reason or revelation for that so q on is the latest instantiation of this it may be a state actor like russia or china purposely creating propaganda or a small group of very clever ship posters doing it but basically they believe that some cabal of child molesting new world order people who are cannibals and satan worshipers are basically in control of the whole show and trump or some hero had emerged to basically put them all in jail and kill all of them right and then every time it didn't happen they moved the goal post and they called it the storm don't worry trump won't leave office i was making videos in december and january and i had people commenting charles you don't know what you're talking about biden will not be president the storm is coming they just believe these things and then it didn't happen and some lost to faith other ones go oh it's part of a broader plan now it's broader plan bigger plan got to figure this out why does this exist because people want to believe the world can be so simple that a small cabal of people are actually controlling it and all the things that happen that are evil are part of a broader plot to somehow control and dominate the real truth of the matter is the world is complicated interdependent filled with black swan events incompetence factions that war with each other all the time and no good answers and lots of gray areas and tons of conflicts on values and the people at the top aren't geniuses they're like you and me i've met them i know them i've hung out with them but i've had dinner with a lot of these people believe when i tell you you would not if you were at a bar sitting down with this person be so in awe to say that they're so special that they should be god of the world no no no they're just like you and me but with domain knowledge and perhaps more charisma but at the end of the day they're special they're not special in any sense there's a lot of these bureaucrats and government people and you put them together and you got a government and then the government does its best job and it tries to figure it out everybody's playing this very complex game and stuff happens and sometimes stuff happens it completely surprises you like someone gets assassinated or a bomb goes off or someone didn't do something they were supposed to do or someone loses an election if there was a new world order cabal do you honestly believe something like brexit or the election of trump could occur these are glitches in a system where people think they've constructed something for control and it doesn't work so it shows you we're not so good at that as human beings so these q anon conspiracy theorists are just the latest in many generations of conspiracy theorists who like to believe they got it all figured out and that simplicity will come so let's say for the sake of the argument there was a cannibalistic new world order satanic cabal of child molesters running the world and trump did purge all of them what happens the morning after how deep does it go is bill gates a serpent person we all have quantum dots in us now and microchips from vaccines uh how do we undo that and how many millions of people must be in on your conspiracy for it to work how many people are culpable and guilty and are just gonna go and commit genocide and kill 10 million people execute 100 million people the evil ones who are complicit in this grand conspiracy against the public until what end to depopulate all of us that's not working so well when we started talking about the population back in 1980s and 70s the u.n was real scared about it somehow the population curve keeps going up my god we'll have we'll end this century probably with 10 to 11 billion people so their population plans are failing miserably you know maybe it's something else it's uh dominating controller lies oh okay great why is the internet still exist oh but it won't who knows why do i exist then why does cryptocurrency exist why do i have the freedom to go literally talk about how i'm gonna go build a parallel governing structure for the entire world i must be part of new world order then right because there can't be resistance to that movement that's what q anon would say you have to think for yourself and you have to step outside of conspiratorial thinking and the first and most valuable lesson in life you can learn is to ask you confidence confidence does not equal competence it's a valuable lesson and the slow way is the fast way always take your time be humble admit that you don't know everything and admit that the world is very very complex and complicated and then even amongst domain experts they get tripped up all the time and start with values and principles and work your way from there and you'll find a lot of things don't matter well that is fine but what do you think the bohemian grove a bunch of rich white men go and get naked and dance around an hour and burn in california okay uh you mean the guys who are in power somehow are all connected to each other and hang out at the same parties and do each other's wives what a surprise we have an aristocratic oligarch ruling class that's never happened before in american history but there's diversity there right thomas jefferson and john adams certainly had grievances and bill clinton certainly has grievances with barack obama and donald trump yet they're all part of the ruling elite what age do you first read plato the republic 12. uh see love you but holy god you are blind yes you are so confident tio you gotta figure it out man you know about the new world order you know about the global conspiracy you you've got it all figured out all your life experiences have led you there you've read it you've connected the dots you know how the club of rome connects to the bilderberg group connects to the bohemian grove and how these pieces fit together in a small group of ross childs and rockefellers and george soros's like the vaccines are all gonna get us and oh god come on man grow up the world is complex it's fun it's fun to create fiction the thigh bone connects to the hip bone the rib bone connects to my wrist watch that was dr nick riviera in the simpsons when he was performing heart surgery on homer for 29.95 are you a pokemon collector i would never be cut dead with charizard never no i actually never got caught into the pokemon thing but i know all the memes why does tom face say you're a scammer because he makes money saying people are scammers he literally says anything that's not bitcoin is a scam and then there's a lot of stuff in bitcoin that's a scam coming up on two hours here we'll cap it there and then i gotta send that damn email ugh never get to sleep but i love you guys you're a lot of fun these late night amas are fun a little looser don't give a anymore friday night the mood is right it shows you how exciting my personal life is friday night at 1 am where am i at i'm doing a cryptocurrency anime have you been to norway yes some of my fondest memories are up in tromso and i have a lot of family in norway still they still hurt sheep lions maine yeah lions mane is the way to go you guys just soon be able to buy it first time viewer i'm excited learn start following you all soak up annie and all info smile the whole time thank you for your time well thanks for coming you know um i remember when i was a kid years ago i uh worked at a cat rescue i've told this story once before but your first time listeners you've never heard it most of you probably haven't so i was homeschooled my mom wanted me to get socialized so she always found these clever ways of getting me out of the house and getting me out there to interact with people so she's oh it's a really good idea we'll have charles go and work at a cat rescue so i worked with this lady called um judy quillivan and it was the recycled critter rescue uh and she had this uh crazy husband what was his name richard i think yeah and he smoked like a chimney and i'd hang out with him and my job was medicate all the cats and she had all the cats in her house and had all the cages and facilities there and i had to clean up there's anywhere between 60 to 100 cats at any given time all over the damn place every place you'd look cat cat cat cat cat it was like crazy cat lady plus plus and uh i had given pills and shots and sub-cue them and i at the time had these dreams i was going to be a doctor like my dad so i thought oh this is so cool i'm getting all this practical experience doing medical stuff with cats this is great but while i was there richard was a big republican so he'd always have on the radio uh rush limbaugh and just play rush play rush play rush and i'd listen to rush as a 12 year old kid not really caring too much about it the magic of limbaugh though is he's all throughout all these years because that was about 22 years ago and he's still on the air but he's dying cancer is he built his huge audience and he has an incredible relationship with that audience the people he was talking 1988 uh till today still listen to him religiously because they just like it's you become part of a family and you want to listen to something and it's almost like a sport that you enjoy day by day week by week and so forth and cardano has a little bit of that inside of it you know we learn a little bit we do a little bit we win sometimes we lose sometimes we build some interesting things we celebrate the victories together and we find ways to blunt the losses and i really do enjoy that i mean 22 years later i can't help but think of what he did and say well there's a small part of that in this not the particular ideology but rather just the relationship building and how these mediums work and that's uh that's a gift it really is especially now when you see rush dying of lung cancer he has all this money and his prestige and his fame and this persona but the thing that means the most to him is his audience and that's why he's going to die in the studio he's they're going to drag him out in a pine box he will never quit never retire until he absolutely has to because the only thing he lives for anymore is the audience and the relationship that he's built with them over all the years and i love that too i love the relationship we've built terror and all you know there's art bell as well and george nori and was it uh paul harvey and that's the rest of the story i miss radio and talk about humility there's nothing better in life than uh learning how to medicate a hundred cats you have any scratches i got from that i still have a few of them and the day i left she bought a special bag that you put the cat in to medicate them so they can't scratch you i was like oh there you go do you have a wee bit of toxic plasmosis what the do you think i'm an entrepreneur and a risk taker i jump out of airplanes i do all kinds of crazy i went wingsu training in sweden sweden was jarno i even posted some pictures for you guys on that one yes yes dogs not cats are you interested in spacex if if yes what are you looking forward to space tourism all that's opening up in 2025 and i'm very excited about it i'm gonna go to space loved art bell late at night on road trips i did too and george nori you'd always have the craziest people on you learn about the anunnaki or you'd learn about pyramid stuff or ghosts or aliens man that was fun it's all crazy man it was fun heard you sold fake rolexes i actually didn't sell them i made them a guy named sheck uh who would get them in from new york when they came from china they shipped new york then you get it from china and then i would upgrade them i put role i put eta cal 28 36 movements in them i'd put new bezels on and new dial with the proper 2.5 cyclops and then i would change the bracelet uh to uh to be uh with a triple wrap gold plating and it would be weighted just so it would weigh roughly the same and you always have to replace the clasp because those damn chinese counterfeiters at the time could never get the clasp right but if you did all those things you could make a rolex submariner look almost exactly like the real deal and it would hum like it it had the nice beautiful glide not quite the same as the rolex movement the 3850 but the 2836 was a really great movement the eta and and you could get them for about 120 if you had the right supplier you bought them in bulk and all the other aftermarket parts were quite easy to source i missed those days that was a lot of fun i was 17 years old i i didn't give a i had all the horology tools ducati yes sr2 monster 2 2003. nearly got killed a bunch of times uh did edward kelly write the voynich manuscript i think they dated the voynich manuscript i've never had a chance to see it i've been to yale a few times but i've never had a chance to see it while i was there and i've always wanted to it's one of my favorite books and i was actually thinking about having a reproduction made of it so i can put it in the office but no i think it's a little older than that but i do think it's still a counterfeit define cardano in just one word icky guy did i get the vaccine not yet it's not available to me i'm 33 years old and in pretty good health they're not going to give that to me until june july but i'll have to get it because i need to travel grand seiko okay this is a great one grand seiko are some of the best watches ever made they make rolexes look like garbage but no one buys them because they think seikos are cheap this is a great example of where you need to create a segregated and separate brand in order to be able to get distribution so i i it mechanically that the seikos are just phenomenal you have these great kinetic movements in certain ones and they go all the way up to like 30 000 dollars so they're competing with the daytona you can get a proper chronograph i think they may have even had a tourbillon in some of their uh their lines and the engineers there are just top-notch incredible watches rolex at least was clever enough that when they diluted the brand they had a sub-brand called two-door so there was two-door they kind of look like rolex's but they're not and they're much cheaper and then rolex maintains the premium brand position and you see a lot of that in fact a lot of these higher end watches like tag heuer and omega they actually use the very same movements that i was buying for 120 dollars and putting it to fake submariners the eta movement line so it's uh croc the mid-sized watch range now the very high-end ones are all custom like gia guerrero hoot and patek philippe and piaget and vacheron constantine and so forth and my favorite is jake droll because of the automatons they make and those are masterpieces and they're made by a master horologist they take thousands of hours and it really is living art it's incredible but if you want a good business watch grand seiko is quite respectable frederick constant is another really good brand that's quite affordable very respectable and beautiful watches and they make their own movements actually although i don't think they're independent anymore ap makes some beauties yeah they sure do uh if you try panerai or peugeot peugeot makes this beautiful watch called the alta plano it's one of the thinnest mechanical watches around and they actually have to use platinum counterweights for the flywheels in the back because um gold is not heavy enough and leads not heaviness you either use platinum pretty cool stuff paul gerber did that too for a lot of his movements i wish they put a minute repeater in that but today would be a two hundred thousand dollar watch instead of a thirty thousand dollar the alta plano is a beautiful one though especially the skeleton multiplano have you considered taking a break from cardano to start shooting heroin um yeah there have been moments not proud of those moments that's the 109 am answer beethoven yes seventh symphony second movement
