I hope you all had a wonderful break and you question and network with some people. Our next speaker is going to be and he's going to be talking about math and he's going to convince us that 2 + 2 equals 10. So here we go.[Applause] We've been surrounded by math by for pretty much our whole life. And think about it. We use math every single day.From knowing what time to wake up in the morning to how much you're going to pay for for gas. Math is absolutely everywhere and it's unavoidable. But that also raise ...

Do you truly love yourself? Are you genuinely taking care of yourself? There was a time when I couldn't love myself. I lived with self-centered mindset. However, one day I discovered what self-love truly means and I realized that it is what makes myself, others, and society happy. Authentic self-love not only nurtures us as individuals, but it can also bring happiness to others and transform society. Self-love is not simply doing whatever you want. That's not self-love. It's narcissism. The word narcissism ...

One thing I've learned from backing 50+ founders in the last 2 years:You sometimes just get a feeling with certain founders that no matter what, they will execute.Got that dog in 'em type of way about them.A close VC friend of mine calls it "feel the pump" and I think this instinctual element of early-stage investing is really hard to explain. It's luck, it's right place and right time, but more than anything its about having a damn good intuition.I've learned that when I meet a founder who stands out psych ...

[Music] Do you know that your heart has a brain of its own. Yes, your heart has a brain. I mean it literally.Your heart has its own neural network about 40,000 neurons working independently of your brain. Scientists call it the intrinsic cardiac nervous system or more simply the little brain in the heart. The heartmat institute had discovered that the heart's magnetic field is about 60 times stronger than your brain.It's constantly communicating with your brain influencing your emotion, thoughts and also th ...

AI Capabilities and Limitations - The industry believes Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is not achievable in the foreseeable future [1] - AI excels in known spaces, utilizing concepts and data for tasks like discovering Newton's laws of motion or inventing the steam locomotive [9][7] - AI struggles with tasks requiring insight and intuition, such as Archimedes' principle, special relativity, or creating art like Leonardo's Mona Lisa [8] Human Intelligence - Human intelligence uniquely enables problem-solving through insight-based learning and intuition, distinct from logic-based approaches [11][14] - Insight allows humans to traverse unknown spaces, while intuition accelerates both logical and insightful processes [21] - Human beings can create value in the unknown space, which machines cannot [22] Future Implications - The industry suggests focusing on human strengths rather than competing with machines, leveraging AI to enhance value in known areas [24] - Human General Intelligence is considered significantly broader than Artificial Intelligence, even with advancements in quantum computing [23]

Decision Making & Intuition - The modern world presents overwhelming decisions across various aspects of life [4][5] - There's an increasing belief in "trust your gut culture," with an 85% increase in searches related to gut feeling in the past 10 years [9][10] - Unqualified coaches and conspiracy theorists promote trusting impulses over expertise and deliberation [10][11] - The speaker argues against blindly trusting intuitions due to evolutionary, psychoanalytic, perceptual, and philosophical reasons [14][16][17][19][22] Improving Intuition - Intuitions can be improved through time and hard work, similar to exposure therapy for anxiety [24][25] - Confronting anxieties and insecurities can create room for new possibilities and excitement [25][26] - The biggest mistake is mistaking information for experimentation, overvaluing others' opinions, and undervaluing personal experience [28] - By immersing oneself in new challenges and reflecting on failures, instincts can become sharper [28] - Calibrating intuitions requires testing them against reality to avoid being divorced from it [32] - Trusting your gut is advisable only after teaching yourself what's worth trusting through reality-oriented activities [34]

Core Argument - The analysis suggests that relying on data and probability leads to better outcomes than trusting intuition, both in games like Monopoly and in real-life decisions [2][3][14][15] - The report emphasizes the importance of recognizing patterns, understanding probabilities, and managing resources wisely for success [3] - The study highlights that emotions can often override logic, leading to suboptimal choices, and advocates for resisting impulse and embracing calculation [13][14] Monopoly Insights - The analysis indicates that the orange property set (St James Place, Tennessee Avenue, and New York Avenue) is statistically a better investment than Boardwalk due to its higher landing rate [4][5] - The report points out that dice rolls are not entirely random, with certain numbers (5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) appearing more frequently, influencing property prioritization [6][7] - The study suggests that limiting the supply of houses to three can be a strategic move to create scarcity and control, similar to real-world examples like Birkin bags [7][8][9] Cognitive Biases - The analysis references the availability heuristic, where easily recalled events are overestimated, leading to poor decisions, such as overvaluing Boardwalk due to its high rent [10][11][12] Investment Strategy - The report draws a parallel between Monopoly and stock market investing, advocating for analysis and research over emotional decisions, as exemplified by investors like Warren Buffett [14][15]

You know that feeling when you have an intuition about how things will turn out. And the more you think about it, the more confident you become. Just until the exact moment you realize you're not.That's intuition. And that's intuition failure. Intuition is safe, cozy, often helpful, yet sometimes can be a disaster.Let me give you an example I love. Imagine it's 1964 and you're standing in a chic art gallery in Sweden. You're surrounded by people gazing at paintings filled with bold, expressive strokes, dyna ...
