Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

•  “It’s not rocket science. You eat shit foods, you’re not active, you’re gaining weight. You eat good food, you’re very active, you lose weight.” – Joe De Sena 
• When the only thing you’re eating are fruits and veggies, it’s nearly impossible to starve or overeat
  • “If you only eat salad, you’re never going to overeat salad” – Joe De Sena
• When Joe was 12, the mafia boss hired him to clean his pool every week. The first day on the day, he gave Joe three pieces of advice:
  • Being on time is late, always show up 15 minutes early
  • Go above and beyond in your job so that you become irreplaceable
  • Never ask for money, you’ll get paid if you do a good job
    • “Really good lessons from, like you say, a most an unlikely source of advice” – Joe De Sena 
• “Videogames are a real problem. They’re a real problem, you know why? Because they’re fucking fun…You do them and they’re real exciting but you don’t get anywhere.” – Joe Rogan
• “One of the best benefits of sports is you realize that through hard work you get improvement, through improvement you get success…You get this knowledge that you can do something that’s difficult and you can overcome even though it feels like you can’t.” – Joe Rogan
• “Kids need to do hard shit and they need to finish what they start” – Joe De Sena
• In ancient times, humans didn’t have constant access to food. This may explain why there are so many health benefits to fasting because it gives our stomachs a break and prevents us from overeating:
  • “I would think our stomachs and our digestive system needs time. It’s not used to just constantly taking food on demand.” – Joe De Sena 
• In life you always have to pay your dues: Either you pay now and enjoy being successful later or you enjoy doing nothing now and pay with the feeling of regret later
  • “A person who goes through life without ever being tested is a sad person” – Joe Rogan

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• We don’t know how effective masks are at preventing the spread of COVID, but we know it’s more effective than wearing nothing
  •  “We’re still taking this thing real seriously, I’m still wearing a mask around public places and I think people should. It’s a responsible thing to do” – Ben Shapiro
• Boost your immune system to decrease your chances of getting COVID:
  • Eliminate alcohol, caffeine, and sugar
  • Start taking vitamin supplements
  • Get vitamin D from the sun
  • Exercise
•  “The number one predictor of intergenerational poverty in the United States remains single motherhood” – Ben Shapiro
  • Single motherhood in the black community in 1960 was 20%, today it is 70% 
  • Single motherhood in the white community in 1960 was 5%, today it is 40%
• Ben’s strategy to fixing poverty:
  • Load the place with police to stop crime
  • Once crime stops, businesses will be happy to invest
  • Those businesses will help provide jobs
  • Businesses can also provide education through training or internships
  • You need social institutions (like churches) that promote family values
• Social media makes it incredibly easy for people to constantly compare themselves and their lives to other people
  • “It’s one thing to shoot for better, it’s another thing to shoot for the unattainable and then be upset when you can never reach the unattainable” – Ben Shapiro

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• GPT-3 is a new tool from OpenAI. The acronym stands for Generative Pretrained Transformer.
  • “We’ve probably reached an inflection point in the progress of artificial intelligence”– Tinkered Thinker
• “The ramifications for how this advance might rattle through society seem ubiquitous.  Language is the fabric of society.  Our use and misuse of language dictates the rise and fall of all our endeavors, and a computer just got really really good at imitating our language.”
• GPT-3 was trained using text from the internet, with an amount of text that is inconceivable for a single human being to think about reading
  • “Think of every comment, every post, every description, every pdf book freely available, all the tweets and blogs, manuals, dissertations, threads, rantings – all of it.  That was the block of text that was given to the neural net for it’s training. ” – Tinkered Thinker

This a layman's description of what GPT-3 is, how it was developed, how it works, and what some of the implications of this technology may be. Technical listeners may appreciate the two potential implications that are given at the end of the episode.

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

•  People like to stay busy so they often say yes to everything
  • Instead, say no to almost anything. Use the Hell Yeah rule: If an activity doesn’t feel like a hell yes for you, then don’t take it.
    • “Strategically, it’s better to do 5 bigs things with your life instead of 500 half-assed things” – Derek Sivers
• However, don’t use the Hell Yes rule when you’re just starting out in your career. In the beginning, try to say yes to every opportunity.
  • “I don’t think that Hell Yeah or No is something that should be applied to everything in life. You have to know when you’re drowning in opportunity or starving for opportunity.” – Derek Sivers
• Although training someone to help you out with work may take a lot of time and energy, if you try to do everything yourself you’ll become overwhelmed and eventually reach a breaking point
  • When Derek was running CD Baby, he was working from 7AM to midnight because he was so involved in the business and not delegating work
    • “For work to turn into this constant state of every five minute an interruption just made it unbearable. I stopped going to the office. I started shutting off my phone until I realized that I was running from my problems instead of solving them. I realized this was a do or die moment, like I need to fix this or I’m toast.”
• “You know you’re a true business owner when you could leave your business for a year and come back a year later and find that it’s doing better than when you left. That’s when you’re no longer self-employed, you’re a business owner.” – Derek Siver
• Ideas multiplied by execution will tell you how much a company is worth. Imagine two columns (one of ideas and one for execution):
  • Awful idea: -1
  • Weak idea: 1
  • Okay idea: 10
  • Great idea: 20
    • No execution: $1
    • Weak execution: $1,000
    • Okay execution: $100,000
    • Great execution: $1,000,000
• To make a business, you need to multiple those two columns:
  • Great idea X No execution = $20
  • Okay idea X Okay execution = $1,000,000
  • Great idea X Great execution = $20,000,000
• “I’m not really interested in hearing people’s ideas, it’s just not interesting without the execution.” – Derek Sivers
• “I feel like the reflection time is when you really learn. The moment when you read somebody else’s idea, that’s a wow moment, but you don’t really learn it until you’ve put aside the time to reflect on it.” – Derek Siver

• Two potential combination treatments for cancer: 1) Hyperbaric oxygen therapy + radiation + IV vitamin C – or – 2) hyperbaric oxygen + IV vitamin C
