Naval Ravikant is a prolific entrepreneur and investor in Silicon Valley, best known as the co-founder and CEO of AngelList. Naval says the biggest secret to finding success is to focus your efforts on playing long term games with long term people. In this episode, we explore this notion - what is a long term game, and who are these long term people? How effective is this strategy? What historical proof can we find to demonstrate this theory? And how can we practically try this out to be closer to Naval and "play long term games with long term people."

Inflection points are the time when a significant change happens, the turning point. They're something you can often easily spot looking backward, but looking forward, they appear hazy at best. In this episode, we examine the nature of inflection points, techniques to where inflection points might come, and how best you can utilize inflection points to accelerate significant change.

We start off life with the idea or perhaps even the absence of an idea. There are no constraints. Everything is possible. As we explore, we start making observations. These observations turn into patterns and these patterns into rules. Rules form the structures that allow us to move through this system of life. But the moment these structures form, everything is no longer possible. Only that which the structure supports is possible. And there's a flaw with these structures; they're based on approximations and bias. These structures are our best guess about how things work. The present may determine the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future. Listen now to go on a brief journey of how structures and systems are formed and broken down and how everything is possible even in chaos.

Everyone believes they are rational actors. Everyone thinks their actions make sense and represent a means to an end, whether in the short or long term. But how much attention do you pay to these actions? How much notice do you pay towards the actions of individuals that you don't understand? But what if you could understand? What if everything made sense, and the path to get where you wanted to be was brighter than it had ever been before? That is the promise of how to understand everything.

“When you grow up you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try to have a nice family life, have fun, save a little money. That's a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it… Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again.” ~ Steve Jobs How do you approach rules? Do you follow the rules? Are rules a hinderance or an asset? How do you evaluate and value rules? Who made the rules?

"Nothing is so exhausting as indecision, and nothing is so futile." ~Bertrand Russel Are there decisions you are delaying? Decisions you go back and forth on? Decisions where you can't quite commit to the definitive path forward? What you don't know, or may not entirely be aware, is that this indecision permeates throughout your whole life. In the 1930s, in his book, The Conquest of Happiness, Bertrand laid our his proposal for what was making us unhappy, and in this he identified the fatigue of indecision.

"Guidance is internal" ~ Jack King, Apollo 11 Launch. The conscious direction of your life emanates from within. The line opens every episode of this show as Jack King, Chief of Public Information for NASA, counts down the launch of Apollo 11. But he misspoke. The correct line was "Guidance is inertial" - noting the Apollo 11 guidance system was ready to track the ship into space. But Jack King says, "Guidance is internal" - and that line is what we will examine today on the ONE. What does it mean? Do we agree with it? And how can we use?

There's a lot of frustration over technology - laws, giant corporations, access to data, and a future devoid of freedom as technology driven by legislation takes over. I have a different take. My thesis is everything happening is for the good. It pushes us to innovate. We will innovate and the technology will set us free. John said the TRUTH will set us free. Technology is the application of knowledge, the application of TRUTH, and the TECHNOLOGY will set us free. Listen now to learn more.
