Привет,
Цитата
3-03 весь мир этого желает (богатства )
Речь идет немного о другом. Он говорит, что вы не получите этого, если по настоящему не захотите. А этого хочет весь мир. Поэтому приготовьтесь к конкурентной борьбе. Ну ... в том его понимании, что богатство = иметь достаточно денег, чтобы быть независимой и свободной личностью и не испытывать нужды в деньгах - да, вроде все хотят (ну хорошо, можно заменить "все" на большинство)

4-49 чем больше домов строят тем больше смогут людей себе позволить
Опять таки, речь в контексте Status games (чтобы у меня появился дом, надо чтобы ты его лишился, zero sum game) vs Wealth games (появление дома у меня, не означает то, что у тебя дом пропадет, positive sum game). И да, дальше говорит, уж если на то пошло, то чем больше домов строится, тем проще их строить, тем доступнее они и т.д. Так было с компьютерами, машинами и вообще всем. Делали больше - лучше - дешевле - доступнее для народа.

5-48 статус лучше влияет на выживаемость чем богатство
5-51 до земледелия не было богатства
On an evolutionary basis—
if you go back thousands of years—status is a much better predictor of survival than wealth. You couldn’t have wealth before the farming age because you couldn’t store things. Hunter-gatherers carried everything on their backs. Ну т.е. речь идет о том, как дела обстояли дела тысячу лет назад. Hunter-gatherers lived in entirely status-based societies. Farmers started going to wealth-based societies. The modern industrial economies are much more heavily wealth-based societies.

6-09 журналист пишут для статуса
Ну нет, такого он вообще не говорил. Он говорил о борьбе между за статус, приводя пример журналистов, которые атакуют предпринимателей.
There’s always a subtle competition going on between status and wealth.
For example, when journalists attack rich people or the tech industry, they’re really bidding for status. They’re saying, “No,
the people are more important. And I, the journalist, represent the people, and therefore I am more important.”
Пример не самый удачный (и, скорее всего наболевший у него лично), но речь в этом отрезке идет о другом.

7-00 абсолютно все могут разбогатеть
Ну он тут довольно подробно объясняет что он имеет ввиду и почему так думает (а дальше в подкасте, по-моему еще возвращается к этой теме):
Naval: I think there is this notion that making money is evil, right? It’s rooted all the way back down to “money is the root of all evil.” People think that the bankers steal our money. It’s somewhat true in that, in a lot of the world, there’s a lot of theft going on all the time.
The history of the world, in some sense, is this predator/prey relationship between makers and takers. There are people who go out and create things, and build things, and work hard on things.
Then there are people who come along with a sword, or a gun, or taxes, or crony capitalism, or Communism, or what have you. There’s all these different methods to steal.
Even in nature, there are more parasites than there are non-parasitical organisms. You have a ton of parasites in you, who are living off of you. The better ones are symbiotic, they’re giving something back. But there are a lot that are just taking. That’s the nature of how any complex system is built.
What I am focused on is true wealth creation. It’s not about taking money. It’s not about taking something from somebody else. It’s from creating abundance.
Obviously, there isn’t a finite number of jobs, or finite amount of wealth. Otherwise we would still be sitting around in caves, figuring out how to divide up pieces of fire wood, and the occasional dead deer.
Most of the wealth in civilization, in fact all of it, has been created. It got created from somewhere. It got created from people. It got created from technology. It got created from productivity. It got created from hard work. This idea that it’s stolen is this horrible zero-sum game that people who are trying to gain status play.
Everyone can be rich
But the reality is everyone can be rich. We can see that by seeing, that in the First World, everyone is basically richer than almost anyone who was alive 200 years ago.
200 years ago nobody had antibiotics. Nobody had cars. Nobody had electricity. Nobody had the iPhone. All of these things are inventions that have made us wealthier as a species.
Today, I would rather be a poor person in a First World country, than be a rich person in Louis the XIV’s France. I’d rather be a poor person today than aristocrat back then. That’s because of wealth creation.
The engine of technology is science that is applied for the purpose of creating abundance. So, I think fundamentally everybody can be wealthy.
This thought experiment I want you to think through is imagine if everybody had the knowledge of a good software engineer and a good hardware engineer. If you could go out there, and you could build robots, and computers, and bridges, and program them. Let’s say every human knew how to do that.
What do you think society would look like in 20 years? My guess is what would happen is we would build robots, machines, software and hardware to do everything. We would all be living in massive abundance.
We would essentially be retired, in the sense that none of us would have to work for any of the basics. We’d even have robotic nurses. We’d have machine driven hospitals. We’d have self-driving cars. We’d have farms that are 100% automated. We’d have clean energy.
At that point, we could use technology breakthroughs to get everything that we wanted. If anyone is still working at that point, they’re working as a form of expressing their creativity. They’re working because it’s in them to contribute, and to build and design things.
I don’t think capitalism is evil. Capitalism is actually good. It’s just that it gets hijacked. It gets hijacked by improper pricing of externalities. It gets hijacked by improper yields, where you have corruption, or you have monopolies.
Не мог бы ты, пожалуйста, чуть-чуть раскрыть мысль с каким конкретно тезисом из его объяснений по этому поводу ты не согласен и почему?
