My First Million

[00:07:41] S0: It's incredible. Where does the food come from, dude? Where does the food come from? Right? It's like, know, I just walk in the grocery store. It's just there. It's not just there. It comes from somewhere. And like like you said, like, that variant of that fruit that came from somewhere. Right? Like, you know, like, each one of these things is a genetic being, a genetic, like, organism. And those organisms, just like we're gonna be applying, you know, biotech and AI to our bodies, we're gonna be applying it to plant bodies. And so super exciting. You know, I think David Friedberg is probably the most well known entrepreneur that's doing something here. He's trying to make, like, you know, potatoes and corn, like new new versions of of these foods that are better seeds, better crops, that farmers can then use to get better yields, to have better... Whether it's better flavor, better for you, or better production. And so just the idea of that food is a technology, and that, again, the technology window is open. To me, there's so much exciting stuff that could be done there ranging from technology that works the fields, you know, some new kinds of tractors and, you know, using cam... Computer vision and whatnot to actually, like, help grow the crops to actual seeds of the food. New food. Now, you know, new types of food. I think this is, like, super, super exciting, and, you know, so much work can be done there. [00:08:55] S1: Alright. What's the next one? Well... War of...

[00:08:55] S1: Alright. What's the next one? Well... War of... [00:08:57] S0: Yeah. Next one. Warfare. So, you know, there's the idea... Like, if I picture in my mind, like, the military machine of America. You know, I think about tanks and soldiers and boats and maybe some, like, fighter jets. And I think... You know, okay. I'm speaking a little out of turn here. I don't know actually what's going on with the war fronts here, but I suspect that that is a bit of a fantasy. It's like, you know, my wife growing up dreaming about her wedding. She just, like, had this vision in her mind that didn't meet reality for a very long time. You know, the little girl when she was, you know, eight versus, like, when she was 30, getting married, like, a lot had changed. And I think what's the same thing is is similar with what war probably will look like at this point, which is drones fighting drones. It's, you know, unmanned tiny aircrafts that are super cheap to build. I think this is what's going on in Ukraine and other places where you can spend you can send really expensive equipment out there, but they can just send, like, you know, a little piece a little, you know, a piece of junk metal autonomously flying. It's super cheap to make. You can make in high volume, and it could do a lot of damage. And so I think warfare is probably... You know, Anduril obviously is doing really interesting things there. There's other companies. You know, Joe Lonsdale has a company that's, you know, kind of underwater, you know, sort of navy... The navy version of Anduril.

You know how we took the the leader of Venezuela?

[00:10:20] S1: Did you read about... You know how we took the the leader of Venezuela? [00:10:25] S0: I didn't read. How did we do it? What what did they do?
00:10:27 · Sam Parr
[00:10:27] S1: It was basically... Well, so they... Wherever they took them, it was like in the middle of a city. And I'm almost... I'm not positive, but I think either no one died or like close to no one died. And people are like, how did this happen? And they were talking to people on the ground and they're like, we don't know what happened. We saw the helicopter laying on the roof and we were standing there and we couldn't do anything. And they were like, what do mean? They're like, we couldn't move. And people are like, what do you mean you couldn't move? And it turns out they use like this new weapon that's like a, it sounds science fiction. It's like a array of stuff that like, it's like a array that shines down to you and like stuns you and you can't move or think. And people could just go, yeah. Yes. Look look up what happened. Yes. Yes. This is like a thing. Yes. Where, like, they basically... There was a joke. So on Google, reports claim that The US forces used a mysterious sonic or directed energy weapon during the 01/13/2016 raid that captured the the leader. Eyewitnesses that a security guard claimed that it was an intense unknown force described as a powerful sound wave or directed energy, and it made him feel like he was exposing, causing the guards to bleed from the nose, vomit, and collapse to the ground. Donald Trump called it, he used discombobulator when describing the weapon. Yeah. But it was like this new weapon that just like caught, like they couldn't do anything. It didn't kill them, but they couldn't move.

[00:11:59] S0: That's wild. I bet a guy in San Francisco... You know, if you go to San Francisco, sort of walk around. You'll just meet like random hackers that are doing very interesting things. So I go into this one place that used to be an old auto body shop that my friend had turned into kind of like a hardware coworking space or just like place for his investments to go work. And there was one dude in there. It was 11PM. There's one guy in there, and he goes, oh, you better... You might wanna back up. They're like, what? This guy is... He was like, I'm building lasers that can shoot drones from, like, extremely high distances away. [00:12:32] S1: And I was like, oh, okay. Walk and a run.
