How to think like an investor

go

I think being an investor is like kind of more of a mindset than anything. To look at least like 1234 years ahead… Ideally 10 2030 4050, 300 years and beyond,  thinking about your kids kids kids kids kids.

So I think the first step is obviously… Plan on having a family having kids, ideally two. Ideally one boy one girl, but if that doesn’t happen that’s OK too.

Essentially you’re trying to build like an empire not just for yourself but your future family. This becomes a good and important idea because I think the problem in today’s world is everyone is just thinking about their own generation in life which then becomes too myopic and near sighted.

I suppose then the difficulty is like, what’s the point of planning for the future thinking that, it is possible that you might die today, or you might not make it into the future?

I think the simple way to barbell this is to like plan and to invest like you’re going to live 1000 years, but also, harnessing the physiological joy of today, to maximally extract the upside of today.

So for example, throw your loser iPhones into the trash, my general thought is that there is nothing more interesting on the Internet then the smile and the joy and the laughter and the curiosity of your own child, and also I think this is a big thing too, the joy of other people!

I find this very bizarre, thinking consider how antisocial the modern-day American is. Even in LA. Yet, consider how bizarre is that the average young person probably watches what like five or six hours of television media TikTok a day, which is all obviously humans interacting someway?

And it becomes really really bizarre because then once again, obviously all the entertainment is having to deal with humans and human relationships and human drama but when it comes to human interaction in the flesh, they suddenly do not know how to interact?

Why social skills are the future 

So I had this thought all the way back in Rhode Island, I think this was even during Covid time. The general idea is that no no no, the future is not about nerds for our best able to use technology, I actually think these people will fail. Why? Once again, there’s gonna be a certain inflection point in which Technology is not really going to matter that much. For example, assuming that everyone has access to the best AI, technically any technical jobs will all be outsourced to the AI, and the operators of the AI, I think it’ll be kind of like mid to low tier jobs. 

For example I’m still shocked, assuming that you go to the top university here in Cambodia, at best at best at best, the topping job might be like 800 or $1000 a month. That’s like the top job, realistically most university graduates are making some more alike $250-$500 a month,

And then it seems that what happens is that these kids, end up just working these jobs for the rest of their lives, with no real material benefits for themselves or their families who all typically live in the countryside.

My vision


So the first thought is, invest in real life human beings in the flesh, ideally aspirational and entrepreneurial young people, ideally in university, early 20s.
