The Danny Miranda Podcast

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• Technology is an extension of our potential – all the tools you need to start a company are on a smartphone
• The Great Reshuffle: We have collapsed time, space, and geography – curiosity, technology, and creativity have no boundaries
• “When there is a modicum of truth, you fall so easily into dogma. Dogma is the death of thought. The death of thought is the death of you”– Jim O’Shaughnessy
  • Claude Shannon – The amount of information humans can take in has limits, when we reach our limits we seek simple explanations
  • Curiosity is the secret to remaining unbiased and fluid with ideas, the antidote to controlling narratives
• Jim O’ Shaughnessy’s Life Lessons for Curiosity:
  • It’s ignorant to believe that everything we know as truth now cannot one day be false; there’s no progress in tying your ego to your certainty
  • It’s very powerful to understand what you do and don’t want, people will love you more for being you
  • Be persistent and always ask
  • Be aware of your lucky moments and take advantage of them
  • Activity: Take an hour-long walk and simply write down everything that comes to your mind, be aware of your own curiosities
• Sometimes we forget that America is overall good and generous
  • If your car breaks down on the side of the road someone is probably going to pull over to help out
